GENERAL SCHEDULE OF RULES AND REGULATIONS

1. APPLICATION FOR SERVICE -
Each prospective Customer desiring service shall be required to show driver's license or other acceptable photo identification and be required to sign EPB's standard form of application for service or contract before service is supplied by the EPB. Each Customer who rents his home, apartment, or mobile home shall be required to present a copy of the lease agreement, or other suitable evidence from the property owner, that the prospective Customer is indeed responsible for the property, before service is supplied by the EPB.

2. SERVICE DEPOSIT -
A deposit or suitable guarantee approximately equal to twice the average monthly bill may be required of any Customer before service is supplied. If the Customer rents his home, apartment or mobile home, a deposit of $100.00 may be collected. However, a letter of credit may be deemed acceptable reducing the deposit to $50.00 for a Customer classified as a renter, or no deposit for a Customer classified as a homeowner. Any Customer applying for new service with an outstanding bill may be charged a $200.00 deposit fee. EPB may at its option return deposit to the Customer after one year. Deposits will earn interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per year (not compounded) on deposits of $50 or more. Interest will be paid at the time the deposit is refunded or at the time it is applied against a final bill. However, upon demand by the Customer, interest which has accrued through the anniversary date of deposit will be paid at any time during the following year. The EPB may require any Customer to increase their deposit if the Customer becomes delinquent or if inflation or increased use of service has caused the deposit to be less than a two (2) months average bill.

3. BILLING -
Bills shall be calculated using the approved Rate Schedule for each of the services offered by EPB. Bills will be rendered monthly and shall be paid at the office of the EPB or at other locations designated by the EPB. Failure to receive the bill will not release the Customer from payment obligation. The due date for payment of the bill for all classes of Customers (other than Industrial customers) will be fifteen days after the bill is mailed to the Customer. Payments made after the due date will be subject to a late payment charge. The late payment charges for all classes of service will be computed as a charge of five percent (5%) on the first $250.00 of the unpaid portion of the bill plus one percent (1%) of the unpaid portion exceeding $250.00, excluding charges and sales tax. If the due date falls on Saturday, Sunday, or any holiday which the EPB observes, the next business day following will become the due date. If remittance is made by mail, the postmark will become the date of payment. A collection fee of $10.00 will be made for each trip the EPB makes in an attempt to collect past due amounts from the Customer. For all checks returned for insufficient funds, a charge of $25.00 will be made to customer for each check returned, and an additional charge of $10.00 will be assessed for each returned check notice. A budget billing plan and an "E-Z Pay" plan are available upon request for any residential Customer who has been receiving service at their present location at least eight months. Requests for information may be made in person, by phone, mail, or email (epb@glasgow-ky.com) at the office of the EPB.

When Customer makes a partial bill payment, all payment will be applied to the electric portion of the bill first. Other services will be disconnected until the Customer's account is current.

4. TERMINATION -
If payment of utility bill has not been received by EPB on or before the due date of the bill, a second notice will be mailed to the Customer at least seven calendar days prior to the scheduled date of termination. If a Customer does not make payment or notify the EPB of a dispute over the bill by the date of termination, EPB will proceed on schedule with termination. Termination will not be made on any day preceding a day when EPB's office is scheduled to be closed. A hearing on a disputed bill is available by notifying and coming to the EPB before the cut-off date. This hearing may be scheduled at the Electric Plant Board Office, 100 Mallory Drive, Glasgow, Ky., anytime between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday, except on Holidays. A conference with a counselor will be held, and relevant account records will be available for review. If the Customer is not satisfied with the results of the conference with the counselor, the Customer may schedule a conference with the Superintendent who will hear the evidence and render a decision. Customer's service will not be terminated until an appropriate decision is reached under the above policy. The Customer has a right to a post-termination conference under the above procedures, if there was no conference before termination. A Customer requesting a conference has the right to have a representative at the conference and to present witnesses.

5. CONNECTION, RECONNECTION, AND DISCONNECTION CHARGES -
A connection fee of $30.00 will be charged for new service connections. This fee will also apply to all transfers of service. Reconnect fees will be charged at the rate of $30.00 for services rendered during business hours and at the rate of $50.00 for services rendered after 4:30 PM (prevailing time) or on weekends. Higher charges may be established and collected when special circumstances warrant.

6. OTHER SERVICES -
EPB also offers other services, such as cable television service and HomeLAN/C-LAN services via its broadband network. Those services are rendered under the general provisions outlined in this Schedule of Rules and Regulations, however, there are separate Schedules of Rules and Regulations which provide the details of the provision of those services. These schedules are incorporated into this overall Schedule of Rules and Regulations by reference hereto, the same as if copied in full herein.

7. REFUSAL OF SERVICE FOR NON-PAYMENT OF FORMER SERVICES -
Service may be refused to any Customer who has a delinquent account with the EPB for any type past service. If any application for service is approved for a former Customer who still owes for past service, the balance due to the past service will become an arrears on the new account established by the applicant. If a Customer has service at more than one location and terminates service at one of the locations, any delinquent balance resulting from the termination will become an arrears on the billing for one of the other locations at which the Customer is being served, and shall be a reason for termination of service at such other location(s).

8. DISCONTINUANCE OR REFUSAL OF SERVICE FOR REASONS OTHER THAN NON-PAYMENT -
The EPB may refuse to connect service or may discontinue service for the violation of any of its Rules and Regulations, Schedule of Rates and Charges, or any contract between the EPB and the Customer. The EPB may discontinue service to the Customer for theft of current, for the appearance of current theft devices on the premises of the Customer or for safety concerns. The discontinuance of service by the EPB for any cause does not release the Customer from their obligation to the EPB for any services rendered.

9. EXTENSION OF SERVICES -
EPB will extend broadband services to any Subscriber who is not a Customer, only if Subscriber lives in an area where EPB is authorized to do so. Such extensions of service to Subscriber will be done only after Subscriber has made written request to EPB for same. After receipt of such request, EPB will estimate the total cost of constructing the plant necessary to provide the services requested, and will communicate same to Subscriber. No extensions will be constructed until Subscriber pays the total cost in advance as estimated by EPB. Thereafter, the Subscriber will pay for services according to the then effective rates for such services as published by EPB. After the extensions are made, they will become the property of EPB and the initial Subscriber will maintain no ownership interest in same.

10 . INFORMATION TO CUSTOMERS -
EPB shall inform Customers about rates and service policies by making such information available upon application for service and at any other time upon request. The EPB, upon request, shall provide a statement of the monthly consumption for the prior twelve (12) months if it is reasonably ascertainable. The EPB, as it determines appropriate, shall utilize channels such as mail, email, newspapers, radio, and public displays in the office of any changes in its rates or service policies. These types of channels would not be used for any wholesale or retail rate charges which are passed on to the Customer, which TVA is responsible for and has so notified the general public of the changes which affect all the Customers of distributors of TVA power.

11 . POINT OF DELIVERY -
The point of delivery is the point, as designated by EPB, on Customer's premises where current or other EPB service is to be delivered to the building or premises. All wiring, and appurtenances associated with wiring, beyond this point of delivery shall be provided and maintained by Customer at no expense to EPB. The only responsibility of EPB beyond the Point of Delivery shall be the provision of properly functioning meters, converters, set-top boxes, cable modems, or telephone RSU’s. The delivery point, beyond which the Customer is responsible for all wiring maintenance, and beyond which repair work done by EPB to said wiring or wiring appurtenances shall result in billing to the Customer (unless Customer participates in an Inside Wiring Maintenance Program offered by EPB), is:
A. In the case of electric service, the weather head for overhead services and the meter base for underground services; and
B. In the case of cable television service, the ground block or the fiber ONT, at the exterior of the structure; and
C. In the case of HomeLAN service, the ground block or the fiber ONT, at the exterior of the structure; and
D. In the case of telephone service, the ground block or the fiber ONT, at the exterior of the structure.

12. CUSTOMER'S WIRING STANDARDS -
All wiring of Customer including electrical, broadband and Ethernet wiring must conform to EPB's requirements and accepted modern standards, as exemplified by the requirements of the National Electrical Safety Code and the National Electrical Code; however, by establishing service to Customer, EPB makes no warranty or representation of any kind that Customer's facilities and wiring conform to any such requirements, standards, or the National Electrical Code.

A Developer constructing, or renovating, a multiple unit commercial building, in which units are intended for rental to third parties, who request underground electric service from the Glasgow Electric Plant Board, must install, at a minimum, 200 amps, three phase, 208/120 volt electric services in each of these units.

13. INSPECTION -
EPB shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to inspect any installation before electricity is introduced or at any later time, and reserves the right to reject any wiring or appliances not in accordance with EPB's standards; but such inspection or failure to inspect or reject shall not render EPB liable or responsible for any loss or damage resulting from defects in the installation, wiring, or appliances, or from violation of EPB's rules, or from accidents which may occur upon Customer's premises.

14. WIRING AND WIRE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED BY EPB -
EPB offers an Inside Wiring Protection Plan to cover the costs of many elements of maintaining Customer’s broadband, telephone, and Ethernet wiring beyond the Point of Delivery. Details on the cost and benefits of this plan are available by request from EPB. Any work on wiring, or wiring appurtenances, performed by EPB beyond the Point of Delivery for a Customer not covered by the Inside Wiring Protection Plan will be subject to charges. These charges will change from time to time depending on the actual costs involved in performing the work.

All wiring work performed by EPB, and paid for by Customer, shall be warranted by EPB, in regard to that exclusive installation and/or repair within Customer’s premises, for a period of one year with respect to quality of materials and workmanship. Nothing shall be construed or implied that such warranty shall extend to any additional wiring within Customer’s premises, and subsequent installations and/or repairs to wiring within Customer’s premises will be subject to charges as set forth above.

15. UNDERGROUND SERVICE LINES -
Customers desiring underground service lines from EPB's overhead system must bear the excess cost incident thereto. Specifications and terms for such construction will be furnished by EPB on request.

16. CUSTOMER'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR EPB'S PROPERTY -
All meters, service connections, converters, remote controls, cable modems, and other equipment furnished by EPB shall be, and remain, the property of EPB. Customer shall provide a space for and exercise proper care to protect the property of EPB on its premises, and, in the event of loss or damage to EPB's property arising from neglect of Customer to care for same, the cost of the necessary repairs or replacements shall be paid by Customer.

17. RIGHT OF ACCESS -
EPB's identified employees shall have access to Customer's premises at all reasonable times for the purpose of reading meters, testing, repairing, removing, or exchanging any or all equipment belonging to EPB. Any time that EPB's meter reader is unable to gain access to the meter to obtain a reading, a $10.00 charge will be added to the Customer's bill from each return trip that is made in order to obtain a meter reading.

18. TERMINATION OF CONTRACT BY CUSTOMER -
Customers who have fulfilled their contract terms and wish to discontinue service must give at least three (3) days written notice to that effect, unless contract specified otherwise. Notice to discontinue service prior to expiration of contract term will not relieve Customer from any minimum or guaranteed payment under any contract or rate.

19. SERVICE CHARGES FOR TEMPORARY SERVICE -
Customers requiring electric service on a temporary basis will be charged a non-refundable fee of $50.00. This rule applies to circuses, carnivals, fairs, temporary construction, and the like.

20. INTERRUPTION OF SERVICE -
EPB will use reasonable diligence in supplying current, and other broadband services, but shall not be liable for breach of contract in the event of, or for loss, injury, or damage to persons or property resulting from, interruptions in service, excessive or inadequate voltage, single-phasing, or otherwise unsatisfactory service, whether or not caused by negligence.

21. SHORTAGE OF ELECTRICITY -
In the event of any emergency or other condition causing a shortage in the amount of electricity for EPB to meet the demand on its system, EPB may, by an allocation method deemed equitable by EPB, fix the amount of electricity to be made available for use by Customer and/or may otherwise restrict the time during which Customer may make use of electricity and the uses which Customer may make of electricity. If such actions become necessary, Customer may request a variance because of unusual circumstances including matters adversely affecting the public health, safety and welfare. If Customer fails to comply with such allocation or restriction, EPB may take such remedial actions as it deems appropriate under the circumstances including temporarily disconnecting electric service and charging additional amounts because of the excess use of electricity. The provisions of the subsection of this section entitled Interruption of Service are applicable to any such allocation or restriction.

22. VOLTAGE FLUCTUATIONS CAUSED BY CUSTOMER -
Electric service must not be used in such a manner as to cause unusual fluctuations or disturbances to EPB's system. EPB may require Customer, at his own expense, to install suitable apparatus which will reasonably limit such fluctuations.

23. ADDITIONAL LOAD -
The service connection, transformers, meters, and equipment supplied by EPB for each Customer have definite capacity, and no addition to the equipment or load connected thereto will be allowed except by consent of EPB. Failure to give notice of additions or changes in load, and to obtain EPB's consent for same, shall render Customer liable for any damage to any of EPB's lines or equipment caused by the additional or changed installation.

24. STANDBY AND RESALE SERVICE -
All purchased services (other than emergency or standby electric service) used on the premises of Customer shall be supplied exclusively by Distributor, and Customer shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, sublet, assign, or otherwise dispose of the services or any part thereof.

25. NOTICE OF TROUBLE -
Customer shall notify EPB immediately should the service be unsatisfactory for any reason, or should there be any defects, trouble, or accidents affecting the supply of electricity. Such notices, if verbal, should be confirmed in writing.

26. NON-STANDARD SERVICE -
Customer shall pay the cost of any special installation necessary to meet his peculiar requirements for service at other than standard voltages, or for the supply of closer voltage regulation than required by standard practice.

27. METER TESTS -
EPB will, at its own expense, make periodical tests and inspections of its meters in order to maintain a high standard of accuracy. EPB will make additional tests or inspections of its meters at the request of Customer. If tests made at Customer's request show that the meter is accurate within two percent (2%), slow or fast, no adjustment will be made in Customer's bill, and EPB's standard testing charge will be paid by the Customer. In case the test shows meter to be in excess of two percent (2%) fast or slow, an adjustment shall be made in Customer's bill over a period of not over thirty (30) days prior to date of such test, and cost of making test shall be borne by EPB.

28. BILLING ADJUSTED TO STANDARD PERIODS -
The charges set forth in the rate schedules are based on billing periods of approximately one month. In the case of the first billing of new accounts (temporary service and other seasonal Customers excepted) and final billings of all accounts (temporary service excepted) where the period covered by the billing involves fractions of a month, the demand charges, other charges designed primarily to recover fixed costs, and the Customer charges under Schedule TGP and under Part B of the General Power Rate Schedule will be adjusted to a basis proportionate with the period of time during which service is extended.

29. SCOPE -
This Schedule of Rules and Regulations is a part of all contracts for receiving electric and other services from EPB, and applies to all services received from EPB, whether the service is based upon contractual agreement, signed application, or otherwise. A copy of this schedule and other schedules relating to EPB's other services, together with a copy of EPB's Schedule of Rates and Charges, shall be kept open to inspection at the office of EPB.

30. REVISIONS -
These Rules and Regulations may be revised, amended, supplemented, or otherwise changed from time to time, without notice. Such changes, when effective, shall have the same force as the present Rules and Regulations.

31. CONFLICT -
In case of conflict between any provision of any rate schedule and the Schedule of Rules and Regulations, the rate schedule shall apply.

The annual facility charge shall be 9.0 percent of the installed cost to Distributor's electric system of the facilities devoted to street and park lighting service specified in this Part A. Such installed cost shall be recomputed on July 1 of each year, or more often if substantial charges in the facilities are made. Each month, one-twelfth of the then total annual facility charge shall be billed to the customer. If any part of the facilities has not been provided at the electric system's expense or if the installed cost of any portion thereof is reflected on the books of another municipality or agency or department, the annual facility charge shall be adjusted to reflect properly the remaining cost to be borne by the electric system.

Traffic signal systems and athletic field lighting installations shall be provided, owned, and maintained by and at the expense of the customer, except as Distributor may agree otherwise in accordance with the provisions of the paragraph next following in this section II. The facilities necessary to provide service to such systems and installations shall be provided by and at the expense of Distributor's electric system, and the annual facility charge provided for first above in this section II shall apply to the installed cost of such facilities.

When so authorized by policy duly adopted by Distributor's governing board, traffic signal systems and athletic field lighting installations may be provided, owned, and maintained by Distributor's electric system for the customer's benefit. In such cases Distributor may require reimbursement from the customer for a portion of the initial installed cost of any such system or installation and shall require payment by the customer of a facility charge sufficient to cover all of distributor’s costs (except reimbursed costs), including appropriate overheads, of providing, owning, and maintaining such system or installation; provided that, for athletic field lighting installations, such facility charge shall in no case be less than 12 percent per year of such costs. Said facility charge shall be in addition to the annual facility charge on the facilities necessary to provide service to such system or installation as provided for in the preceding paragraph. Replacement of lamps and related glassware for traffic signal systems and athletic field lighting installations provided under this paragraph shall be paid for under the provisions of paragraph A in Section IV.


III. Customer Charge - Traffic Signal Systems and Athletic Field Lighting Installations

Distributor shall apply a uniform monthly customer charge of $2.50 for service to each traffic signal system or athletic field lighting installation.

IV. Replacement of Lamps and Related Glassware - Street and Park Lighting

Customer shall be billed and shall pay for replacements as provided in paragraph A below, which shall be applied to all service for street and park lighting.

A. Distributor shall bill the customer monthly for such replacements during each month at Distributor's cost of materials, including appropriate storeroom expenses.

B. Distributor shall bill the customer monthly for one-twelfth of the amount by which Distributor's cost of materials, including appropriate storeroom expense, exceeds the product of 3 mills multiplied by the number of kilowatthours used for street and park lighting during the fiscal year immediately preceding the fiscal year in which such month occurs.

Metering
For any billing month or part of such month in which the energy is not metered or for which a meter reading is found to be in error or a meter is found to have failed, the energy for billing purposes for that month or part of such month shall be computed from the rated capacity of the lamps (including ballast) plus 5 percent of such capacity to reflect secondary circuit losses, multiplied by the number of hours of use.

Revenue and Cost Review
Distributor's costs of providing service under Part A of this rate schedule are subject to review at any time and from time to time to determine if Distributor's revenues from the charges being applied are sufficient to cover its costs. (Such costs, including applicable overheads, include, but are not limited to, those incurred in the operation and maintenance of the systems provided and those resulting from depreciation and payments for taxes, tax equivalents and interest.) If any such review discloses that revenues are either less or more than sufficient to cover said costs, Distributor shall revise the above facility charges so that revenues will be sufficient to cover said costs. Any such revision of the annual facility charge provided for first above in section II of Part A of this rate schedule shall be by agreement between Distributor and TVA.

GLASGOW ELECTRIC PLANT BOARD ELECTRIC MANUFACTURING SERVICE RATE SCHEDULE MSB
(October 2008)

Availability

This rate shall apply to the firm electric power requirements where (a) a customer's currently effective contract demand is greater that 5,000 kW but not more than 15,000 kW and (b) the major use of electricity is for activities conducted at the delivery point serving that customer which are classified with a 2-digit Standard Industrial Classification Code between 20 and 39, inclusive.

Prior to initially taking any service under this schedule, and from time to time thereafter as may be required by Distributor or the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), a customer shall certify to both Distributor and TVA that it meets the requirements set forth in condition (b) above. The certification form to be used shall be (i) furnished or approved by TVA, (ii) provided by Distributor to the customer, and (iii) signed and promptly returned by the customer to Distributor. Further, such customer shall promptly certify any change in the status of any of the information contained in the certification form to Distributor.

Service during any period for which a customer does not meet the eligibility requirements set forth in condition (b) above will be made available by Distributor under, and billed in accordance with, the applicable General Power schedule.

Character of Service
Alternating current, single- or three-phase, 60 hertz. Power shall be delivered at a transmission voltage of 161 kV or, if such transmission voltage is not available, at the highest voltage available in the vicinity, unless at the customer's request a lower standard voltage is agreed upon.
Base Charges
1. If the customer's metered demand for the month is not more than 5,000 kW: Customer Charge: $1,500 per delivery point per month
Demand Charge: $12.26 per kW of billing demand per month, plus an additional $12.26 per KW per month for each KW, if any, of the amount by which the customer's billing demand exceeds its contract demand
Energy Charge: 5.088˘ per kWh for up to 620 hours use of metered demand per month
4.493˘ per kWh for all additional kWh per month

2. If the customer's metered demand for the month is greater than 5,000 kW: Customer Charge: $1,500 per delivery point per month
Demand Charge: $11.63 per kW of billing demand per month, plus an additional $11.63 per kW per month for each kW, if any, of the amount by which the customer's billing demand exceeds its contract demand
Energy Charge: 4.925˘ per kWh for up to 620 hours use of metered demand per month
4.363˘ per kWh for all additional kWh per month

Adjustment
The base demand and energy charges shall be increased or decreased in accordance with the current Adjustment Addendum published by TVA. (In addition, such charges shall be increased or decreased to correspond to increases or decreases determined by TVA under Adjustment 2 or Adjustment 4 of the wholesale power rate schedule applicable under contractual arrangements between TVA and Distributor.)
Facilities Rental Charges
There shall be no facilities rental charge under this rate schedule for delivery at bulk transmission voltage levels of 161 kV or higher. For delivery at less than 161 kV, there shall be added to the customer's bill a facilities rental charge. This charge shall be 36˘ per kW per month, except for delivery at voltages below 46kV, in which case the charge shall be 93˘ per kW per month for the first 10,000 kW and 73˘ per kW per month over 10,000 kW. Such charge shall be applied to the higher of (1) the highest billing demand established during the latest 12-consecutive-month period or (2) the customer's currently effective contract demand and shall be in addition to all other charges under this rate schedule, including minimum bill charges.
Reactive Demand Charges
If the reactive demand (in kVAR) is lagging during the 30-consecutive-minute period beginning or ending on a clock hour of the month in which the customer's highest metered demand occurs, there shall be added to the customer's bill a reactive charge of $1.46 per kVAR of the amount, if any, by which the reactive demand exceeds 33 percent of such metered demand. If the reactive demand (in kVAR) is leading during the 30-consecutive-minute period beginning or ending on a clock hour of the month in which the customer's lowest metered demand (excluding any metered demands which are less than 25 percent of the highest metered demand) occurs, there shall be added to the customer's bill a reactive charge of $1.14 per kVAR of the amount of reactive demand. Such charges shall be in addition to all other charges under this rate schedule, including minimum bill charges.
Determination of Demand
EPB shall meter the demands in kW of all customers served under this rate schedule. The metered demand for any month shall be the highest average during any 30-consecutive-minute period beginning or ending on a clock hour of the month of the load metered in kW, and such amount shall be used as the billing demand, except that the billing demand for any month shall in no case be less than the sum of (1) 30 percent of the first 5,000 kW and (2) 40 percent of any kW in excess of 5,000 kW of the higher of the currently effective contract demand or the highest billing demand established during the preceding 12 months.
Minimum Bill
The monthly bill under this rate schedule, excluding any facilities rental charges and any reactive charges, shall not be less than the sum of (1) the base customer charge, (2) the base demand charge, as adjusted (but excluding the additional portion thereof applicable to excess of billing demand over contract demand) applied to the customer's billing demand, and (3) the base energy charge, as adjusted, applied to the customer's energy takings.
EPB may require minimum bills higher than those stated above.
Contract Requirement
EPB shall require contracts for all service provided under this rate schedule. The contract shall be for an initial term of at least 5 years and any renewals or extensions of the initial contract shall be for a term of at least 1 year; after 10 years of service, any such contract for the renewal or extension of service may provide for termination upon not less than 4 months' notice. The customer shall contract for its maximum requirements, which shall not exceed the amount of power capable of being used by customer, and EPB shall not be obligated to supply power in greater amount at any time than the customer's currently effective contract demand. If the customer uses any power other than that supplied by EPB under this rate schedule, the contract may include other special provisions. The rate schedule in any power contract shall be subject to adjustment, modification, change, or replacement from time to time as provided under the power contract between Distributor and TVA.
Payment
Bills under this rate schedule will be rendered monthly. Any amount of bill unpaid after due date specified on bill may be subject to additional charges under EPB's standard policy.
Single-Point Delivery
The charges under this rate schedule are based upon the supply of service through a single delivery and metering point, and at a single voltage. If service is supplied to the same customer through more than one point of delivery or at different voltages, the supply of service at each delivery and metering point and at each different voltage shall be separately metered and billed.
