3) 25% of the Development Costs within 15 days of the Commercial Operation Date.
C. Adjustment to Power Price; Distribution Utility Upgrades. The Parties acknowledge that the Power Price set forth in Exhibit B is based on certain assumptions, and that the Power Price may, if (and only if) the assumptions provided in this Section 4(C) are inaccurate, require an adjustment to the Power Price following the Effective Date with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to City as follows:
1) Provider assumed that the total cost to be paid to the Distribution Utility in connection with the Distribution Utility Upgrades as stated in Exhibit B. 2) Provider assumed there shall not be material additional costs to re-design, construct, install or maintain the System due to unforeseen conditions or groundwork at the Packet Page 758 of 1189Attachment 2 Page 6 of 159
4 Site (including but not limited to excavation/circumvention of underground obstacles).
3) Provider assumed there are no Hazardous Substances at the Site. 4) The City shall procure, at no material cost to Provider, all planning and zoning permits required for the installation, construction, operation and maintenance of the Solar Facility and Battery Systems by June 1, 2024.
5) The City shall by June 1, 2024, either (i) procure, at no material cost to Provider, an exemption for the Solar Facility and Battery Systems from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) or (ii) complete CEQA review and obtain approvals for the Solar Facility and Battery Systems as-designed as of the Effective Date.
6) Provider assumed any information provided by City and relied upon by Provider is accurate.
D. Provider’s Solar Facility Output Guarantee. Commencing with the second (2nd) Contract Year after the Commercial Operation Date of the System, and for each Contract Year thereafter during the Initial Term, the aggregate metered Solar Facility Output for the previous Contract Year (the “Measurement Period”) shall be at least ninety percent (90%) of the Annual Production Estimate for such Measurement Period for the Solar Facility as defined in Exhibit B (“Output Guarantee”); provided, the Annual Production Estimate is adjusted for actual weather conditions experienced at the Site, and the Output Guarantee for any Measurement Period will be reduced by the estimated generation of the Solar Facility that would have been generated during such Measurement Period, but was not generated, due to one or more of the following causes: (i) Outage; (ii) the actions or omissions of the Distribution Utility or the request or direction of the Distribution Utility; (iii) a Force Majeure event; (iv) buildings or structures constructed after the Commercial Operation Date overshadowing or otherwise blocking access or sunlight to the Solar Facility on or at the Site; (v) a breach of this Agreement by City; or (vi) any action or inaction by City that directly causes such reduction in generation (including but not limited to, pursuant to Sections 5.F, 11.C and 11.D below).
If the Solar Facility Output during any Measurement Period does not equal or exceed the Output Guarantee for such Measurement Period, Provider shall include in its next invoice to City (and in the final invoice for any credit owed for the final Contract Year) a credit for the Energy Shortfall Amount. Alternatively, City has the option to request that the Energy Shortfall Amount be paid by check independently of an invoice.
E. Provider’s Battery Systems Guarantee. Commencing with the first (1st) Contract Year after the Commercial Operation Date of the System, and for each Contract Year until the end of the tenth (10th) Contract Year of the Initial Term (the “Battery Guarantee Term”), the percentage of real time, measured and reported cumulatively by the supervisory control and data acquisition system, that one hundred percent (100%) of the nameplate power capacity of the Battery Systems (the “Battery Availability”) is available for the previous Contract Year (the Measurement Period) shall be equivalent to at least ninety percent (90%) of the total real time for such Measurement Period (8760 hours) (“Battery Systems Guarantee”); provided that, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Battery Availability shall be reduced each Contract Year to account for the normal and expected degradation of the Battery System in accordance with Packet Page 759 of 1189Attachment 2 Page 7 of 159
5 manufacturer specifications; and provided further that the Battery Systems Guarantee for any Measurement Period will be reduced by the estimated real time that the Battery Systems would have been available during such Measurement Period, but was not available, due to one or more of the following causes: (i) an Outage; (ii) the actions or omissions of the Distribution Utility or the request or direction of the Distribution Utility; (iii) a Force Majeure event; (iv) a breach of this Agreement by City, or (v) any action or inaction by City that directly causes such reduction in generation (including but not limited to, pursuant to Sections 5.F, 11.C and 11.D below). Real time shall be measured in increments of hours. Provider additionally guarantees that during the Battery Guarantee Term, the Battery Systems will be available to provide at least the number of cycles per Contract Year (“Guaranteed Cycles”) indicated in Exhibit C when using the full Battery Systems kWh Rating. The Battery Systems shall be cycled in accordance with standard industry practices to maximize electricity cost savings to the City. For the absence of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Battery Guarantee Term shall terminate at the end of the tenth (10th) Contract Year, and that beginning on the eleventh (11th) Contract Year neither the Battery Systems Guarantee nor the Guaranteed Cycles shall apply. Provider shall either replace or augment the Battery Systems at the end of the tenth (10th) Contract Year to mitigate the degradation of the Battery Systems. At least thirty (30) days prior to the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Commercial Operation Date, the Parties shall meet and endeavor in good faith to negotiate a Battery Systems Guarantee for the remaining fifteen (15) Contract Years of the Agreement to preserve the economic value of the Agreement to both Parties.
During the Battery Guarantee Term, if the percentage of real time, measured and reported cumulatively by the supervisory control and data acquisition system, that one hundred percent (100%) of the nameplate power capacity of the Battery Systems is available during any Measurement Period does not equal or exceed the Battery Systems Guarantee for such Measurement Period (each of the Battery Availability and the Battery Systems Guarantee as shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 4.E above), Provider shall include in its next invoice to City a credit for the Battery Systems Energy Shortfall Amount. Alternatively, City has the option to request that the Battery Systems Energy Shortfall Amount be paid by check independently of an invoice.
F. Resale of Output. If at any time during the term of this Agreement, the City reduces its consumption requirements for Solar Facility Output or Battery Systems Output and the Parties determine that the Distribution Utility is willing to purchase Solar Facility Output or Battery Systems Output pursuant to any current or future program of the Distribution Utility for net metering, energy credit, offsets or revenue, City, at its option, may sell Solar Facility Output or Battery Systems Output to the Distribution Utility pursuant to such program and in accordance with Section 4(G) below. If applicable and required by law, City may also request that Provider use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the City and the Distribution Utility, provided that nothing in the foregoing shall permit the City to sell Solar Facility Output or Battery Systems Output to the Distribution Utility if such sale would limit Provider’s rights and interests in and to this Agreement.
G. Net Metering, Credits and Storage of Output. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit City’s ability during the term of this Agreement to participate in or otherwise take advantage of any current or future program which may enable City to store Output or Battery Systems Output at any Site or to export Solar Facility Output or Battery Systems Output to any other site or to the Packet Page 760 of 1189Attachment 2 Page 8 of 159
6 Distribution Utility for any available energy credits, offsets, or revenue. City will give reasonable notice to Provider of its intention to undertake any such project or program and will coordinate with the Provider to ensure that the System, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all associated warranties and guarantees are preserved, provided that City shall reimburse Provider for any documented and reasonable costs and expenses associated with such project or program (including, if applicable, reimbursement of: lost revenue at City Suspension Rate, loss of any Environmental Financial Incentives, and/or costs associated with any modification, removal, relocation, or temporary or permanent deactivation of the System or any portion thereof).
H. Grid Services Programs. From time to time, Provider or City may identify demand response or similar grid services programs, whereby the Battery Systems can help meet demands of the electrical grid, or improve its reliability, by charging or discharging the Battery Systems (or agreeing to make the Battery Systems available for charging or discharging) for which the Provider is eligible to participate (collectively, a “Grid Services Program”). Provider shall only enroll the Battery Systems in any Grid Services Program upon written agreement from City. Nothing in this paragraph shall prohibit City from undertaking participation in Grid Services Programs directly when eligible and Provider shall cooperate with City in ensuring that the Battery Systems operates to maximize revenue in relation to any Grid Services Program participation in accordance with Section 11(B), provided that City shall reimburse Provider for any documented and reasonable costs and expenses associated with such project or program (including, if applicable, reimbursement of: lost revenue at City Suspension Rate, loss of any Environmental Financial Incentives, and/or costs associated with any modification, removal, relocation, or temporary or permanent deactivation of the System or any portion thereof.
I. Outages. Provider may suspend delivery of Solar Facility Output or Battery Systems Output as reasonably necessary for testing, maintaining, replacing and repairing the System, or in response to any Distribution Utility directive or dispatch order (an “Outage”).
Provider shall take all steps necessary to minimize the duration and scope of any such Outage. In the event that an Outage is caused or prolonged by Provider’s negligent act or omission, Provider shall compensate City for the difference between the total electricity cost to the City for the applicable period of outage caused or prolonged by Provider’s negligent act or omission and the Power Price for each 15 minute interval that the Power Price is less than the electricity cost to the City. In such event, City shall provide Provider with evidence of the pricing for such applicable periods in the form of Distribution Utility bills during the outage period, and Provider shall provide the calculation and supporting documentation for determining these amounts, to the reasonable satisfaction of City. Except as set forth herein, City waives claims related to City’s costs of purchasing energy to replace what would have been produced by the System but for such Outages, along within any associated net metering, or similar, benefits.
If an Outage occurs under this Section and a payment is due from Provider to City, Provider shall include in its next invoice(s) to City (and in the final invoice for any credit owed for the final Contract Year) a credit for the difference between the electricity cost to the City for the applicable period.
J. Distribution Utility Electric Service. City may take parallel energy services from Distribution Utility.

If Provider has not cured such issues within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice (as shall be extended by an additional fifteen (15) days if Provider is diligently pursuing such cure), Administrative Delay Liquidated Damages shall be imposed in the amount of $250 per day. Charges will be assessed until City reasonably agrees that all outstanding work has been completed.
F. Extension of Commercial Operation Deadline. Provider may request in writing an extension of the Commercial Operation Deadline. At the time of the request, Provider shall present City in writing with the reason for delay, confirmation that Commercial Operation shall commence within the requested extension time as well as evidence demonstrating that the delay in achieving the Commercial Operation Deadline could not have been reasonably avoided by Provider.
Provider’s written request must also state the date on which Provider reasonably believes Commercial Operation will be achieved following such extension. The approval of the request will be at the sole discretion of City and if approved by City, Provider shall pay to City a non-refundable extension fee of $350 for each request, provided that no extension fee shall be payable and the Commercial Operation Deadline shall automatically be extended by one day for each day of delay caused by: (i) a Force Majeure event, (ii) any action of the City that directly caused such delay (including but not limited to pursuant to Sections 5.F and 5.I above), or (iii) any delay by City in obtaining the City Permits before June 1, 2024.

G.Change in Conditions. If City requests an increase in the Solar Facility Output or Battery Systems Output delivered to the Delivery Point, the Parties agree to use good faith efforts Packet Page 778 of 1189Attachment 2 Page 26 of 159
24 to increase such capacity and to negotiate such amendments to this Agreement as are reasonably necessary to reflect the economic value of such increased capacity. If Provider and City are not able to reach an agreement for such additional Solar Facility Output or Battery Systems Output, City may, at its sole discretion, obtain the services of a third party for such purposes, provided that such additional third party provided services and any site easement shall not interfere with Provider’s right, title and interest in the System under this Agreement.
H. Performance and Payment Bonds. Provider shall deliver to City evidence that the prime contractor performing the construction and installation services of the Systems maintains payment and performance bonding in favor of the Provider and meeting the following requirements, which shall be provided to the City prior to the commencement of construction on any Site:
a. Performance Bond. A bond issued by a corporate surety authorized to issue surety insurance in California, in a form commonly used for such purposes, in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Provider’s construction contract price payable under the contract securing the faithful performance of the contractor of its contract with Provider; and
b. Payment Bond. A bond issued by a corporate surety authorized to issue surety insurance in California, in a form commonly used for such purposes, in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of Provider’s construction contract payable under the contract securing the payment of all claims for the performance of labor or services on, or the furnishing of materials for, the performance of the contract. c. All bonds shall be provided by a corporate surety authorized and admitted to transact business in California and shall be in the form provided by City.
I. Provider shall make no alteration to the System after the Commercial Operation Date intended or reasonably anticipated to permanently increase the nameplate capacity, Solar Facility, or Battery Systems Output of the System without express written approval by City. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Provider may alter the System’s nameplate capacity on a temporary basis when performing maintenance and repair activities provided that Provider returns the System’s nameplate capacity to that as of the Effective Date upon the completion of such activities.
12. Metering.
A. Meter. Provider shall provide and maintain standard revenue grade meters and an electronic data acquisition system at the Delivery Point (each a “Meter”, collectively “Meters”) to individually measure the actual amount of electricity supplied to City by each of the Solar Facility and the Battery Systems on a continuous basis. Meters shall be installed and maintained at Provider’s sole expense and shall be located in close proximity to the Delivery Point and in all cases on the Provider side of all Provider owned transformers and other electrical losses.
B. Meter Testing. Provider shall arrange for all Meters to be tested prior to Commercial Operation and once per year after Commercial Operation within thirty (30) days of Packet Page 779 of 1189Attachment 2 Page 27 of 159
25 the anniversary of the Commercial Operation Date. The tests shall be conducted by independent third parties who are qualified to conduct such tests. Provider shall bear all costs and expenses associated with annual Meter testing. City shall be notified ten (10) Days in advance of such tests and shall have a right to be present during such tests. Provider shall provide City with the detailed results of all Meter tests.
In addition, the Meters shall be inspected and tested for accuracy at such other times as City may reasonably request, but in no event more than once every six (6) month period. City shall bear the cost of the additionally requested Meter testing, unless such test shows that a Meter was inaccurate by more than two percent (2%), in which case the Provider shall bear the Meter testing costs.
C.Cost of Meter Repair. If the Meter testing demonstrates that a Meter was operating outside of its allowable calibration (+/- 2%), then the Provider will pay for the cost of the repairs, or replacement, necessary to restore a Meter to proper working order. If a Meter is found to be inaccurate by more than two percent (2%), Invoices from the prior six (6) months, or from the last time such Meter was registering accurately, whichever is less, shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 8, except that City shall not be obligated to pay interest on any amount found to be due because Meter was operating outside of its allowable calibration (+/- 2%). Provider shall submit any request for an adjustment to City no later than two (2) months after Meter testing had been performed, and City shall not be obligated to pay any adjustment for a prior fiscal year that was not submitted to City within two months after Meter testing was performed. City may withhold payments to Provider if a Meter has registered production in excess of 2% of the Solar Facility Output or Battery Systems Output delivered to City and Provider fails to provide City with the appropriate payment pursuant to Section 8 for the amount which City overpaid to Provider as a result of the Meter being outside of the established calibration range.
D.Meter Data. Provider shall gather and maintain the data from a Meter, including but not limited to interval data registered at least once every fifteen (15) minutes (the “Meter Data”) and shall make such Meter Data available to City or maintain the Meter Data such that City can access the Meter Data remotely through a secure internet site or such other remote access as the Parties mutually agree to.
E.Meter Data Audit. City shall have the right to audit the Invoices and/or the Meter Data once per calendar year.

Packet Page 800 of 1189Attachment 2 Page 48 of 159
46 Provider assumed that the total cost to be paid to the Distribution Utility in connection with the Distribution Utility Upgrades would be $4,000. If the actual cost reasonably incurred by Provider for Distribution Utility Upgrades exceeds $4,000, then Provider shall be entitled to a proportionate increase of the Power Price in an amount of $0.0005/kWh for each additional $10,000 increase in cost. If the actual cost reasonably incurred by Provider for Distribution Utility Upgrades is less than $4,000, City shall be entitled to a proportionate decrease of the Power Price in an amount of $0.0005/kWh per $10,000 decrease in cost. Provider shall work diligently with City to minimize the costs for Distribution Utility Upgrades at all points of the Project.
The Power Price set forth in this Exhibit B is based on certain assumptions set forth in Section 4(C) of the Agreement, and the Parties acknowledge that the Power Price may, if (and only if) the assumptions provided in Section 4(C) are inaccurate, require an adjustment. Provider shall deliver to City reasonable evidence of any increases in cost incurred by Provider to re-design, construct, install or maintain the System as a result of such assumptions being inaccurate, provided that City and Provider acknowledge and agree that an executed change order delivered by Provider to a contractor or subcontractor shall constitute reasonable evidence of such cost increase. The Power Price shall be adjusted as follows:
1. If such cost increase is due to unforeseen conditions or groundwork at the Site (including but not limited to excavation/circumvention of underground obstacles), and such cost increases were not mitigated by the City, then Provider shall be entitled to a proportionate increase of the Power Price in an amount of $0.0005/kWh for each additional $10,000 increase in cost.
2. If Hazardous Substances are discovered at the Site, and such cost increases were not mitigated by the City, then Provider shall be entitled to a proportionate increase of the Power Price in an amount of $0.0005/kWh for each additional $10,000 increase in cost to Provider to re-design, construct, install or maintain the System.
3. If such cost increase is due to the failure by City to obtain the City Permits by June 1, 2024, assuming timely delivery of documents needed from the Provider to the City as agreed upon in the project schedule, then Provider shall be entitled to a proportionate increase of the Power Price in an amount of $0.0005/kWh for each additional $10,000 increase in cost to Provider to re- design, construct, install or maintain the System.
4. If such cost increase is due to the inaccuracy of any information provided by City and relied upon by Provider, then Provider shall be entitled to a proportionate increase of the Power Price in an amount of $0.0005/kWh for each additional $10,000 increase in cost to Provider to re-design, construct, install or maintain the System.

SUNSYS HES L©
Modular outdoor Energy Storage System
from 50 kVA / 186 kWh to 550 kVA / 1116 kWh systems
Safety certified
The system combines 2 top quality
components to deliver a winning formula.
CATL EnerOne Liquid-Cooled Battery:
the SUNSYS B-Cab L uses stable Lithium
Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery chemistry. The
battery has passed the large-scale fire test
UL9540A.
Socomec Power Conversion System (PCS):
the SUNSYS C-Cab L uses a safe conversion
technology to limit the common mode noise effect.
SUNSYS HES L is compliant with UL9540-2020:
the latest and most stringent safety standard
for Energy Storage Systems, in both Canada
and the USA.
Extreme flexibility
The SUNSYS HES L system is based on
2 standard cabinets – C-Cab and B-Cab –
that can be combined to make dozens of
certified combinations.
In addition, the installation can be upgraded with:
- increased power with the addition of one or
more 50 kVA power modules in the C-Cab
or even additional C-Cabs,
- increased energy with the addition of B-Cabs.
Fast and error-free installation
Battery cabinets are shipped completely
assembled with internal modules mounted –
for maximum quality with the minimum
transportation costs and installation time.
Also, for an error-free installation:
- drilling plates are provided to prepare the
locations of the drillings,
- the intelligence (PMS, BMS & EMS) is
integrated inside the C-Cab to reduce
complexity,
- DC connecting kits are available to
simplify the connection between the
converters and batteries.
Easy maintenance
Reduced maintenance with HVAC replaced
by air filters that can easily be maintained by
the customer.
Seamless service during maintenance
as one C-Cab L module can be changed
without interruption whilst keeping the others
operational.
Furthermore, one battery rack can be
disconnected for module replacement
keeping the others operational.
SUNSYS HES L is an outdoor system that merges proven individual technologies to create a more efficient all-in-one solution. Partnering with CATL, Socomec has selected the EnerOne liquid cooled LFP battery system as the optimum battery for SUNSYS Hybrid Energy Storage.
SUNSYS HES L meets the most stringent safety standards.

The conditions of approval for the Cement Hill Retail Center development require that the property be annexed to Community Facilities District No. 20232 (CFD 20232 or District).

DISCUSSION
The Train Station Specific Plan (TSSP) is a development plan and design for a new community environment in the northeast portion of the City that was approved by City Council in 2011. To minimize the financial impact to the City, all new development in the TSSP is required to be a part of a CFD.
These funds will be used for public safety services, the operation and maintenance of public parks, public open space, public cemeteries, public landscaping, linear parks, storm drainage basins, streets lights, pump stations, and/or the public lake, and all associated administrative support in the TSSP (Services). CFD 20181 and CFD 20232 were established in 2018 and 2023 by Resolution Nos. 2018211 and 2023204, respectively, to fund the Services through the annual collection of special taxes levied on properties in the districts.
The property proposed for annexation is owned by KSC Capital Investments LLC, a California Limited Liability Company, and SKC & Brothers LLC, a California Limited Liability Company. The property is located west of Peabody Road and south of Cement Hill Road within the boundary of assessor’s parcel numbers (APN) 0170250060 and 0170250070, as depicted on Exhibit A. The development on the property will be a drivethrough car wash, a convenience store, and a gas station. Development of this property will change the property’s characteristics and manner in which the property will be used, thereby creating a need for more services funded by CFD 2023 2.
The property is located directly adjacent to the southwest border of the TSSP boundaries. Due to the proximity of the development to the TSSP, the City has determined that these parcels will receive benefit from the Services and are required to annex to CFD 20232.
The City contracts with Willdan Financial Services for the preparation of the necessary resolutions and balloting procedures for the annexation process. This process is a specialty service that the City has contracted out since 1995, on an individual consultant services basis for each development requiring annexation into a Mello Roos community facilities district.
The council adopted Resolution No. 202464 on April 2, 2024, to declare its intention to annex the territory to CFD 20232 and set a public hearing for May 7, 2024. Following the public hearing, and in the absence of a majority protest and approval by the property owner, the adoption of the attached resolutions will annex the territory to CFD 20232, call and hold an election of the property owner within the annexed territory, declare the results of the special election, and authorize the levy of the special taxes within the annexed territory, thereby concluding the annexation process.
Once the annexation is complete, the annexed territory will be designated as Annexation No. 1. The property owner of Annexation No. 1 will be required to pay annual special taxes for CFD 20232, beginning in fiscal year (FY) 20242025, as itemized on their property tax bill in accordance with the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax for 20232.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The anticipated annual revenue to be received by the City (CFD 20232 Fund 336) for this annexation is estimated to be $7,739.14, which is based on the FY 2023 2024 maximum special tax rates for a developed commercial property in Zone 1. The CFD 20232 maximum special tax rates include an automatic annual consumer price index (CPI) adjustment. The process for the annexation is funded by the developer and no general fund monies are used for this effort.
