In such case, this Agreement shall terminate upon the later of the expiration of all of Subscriber’s subscriptions to ChargePoint Services. (b) CPI may in its discretion suspend Subscriber’s continuing access to the ChargePoint Services or any portion thereof if (A) Subscriber has breached any provision of this Agreement, or has acted in manner that indicates that Subscriber does not intend to, or is unable to, comply with any provision of this Agreement; (B) such suspension is required by law (for example, due to a change to the law governing the provision of the ChargePoint Services); or (c) providing the ChargePoint Services to Subscriber could create a security risk or material technical burden as reasonably determined by CPI.

EXHIBIT 3
TERMS REGARDING GRANTING OF RIGHTS
This Exhibit sets forth certain additional terms and conditions applicable to Rights Grantors and Rights Grantees regarding the granting of Rights (“Rights Terms”). The Rights Terms are part of the Agreement, and all use of the ChargePoint Services permitted pursuant to the Rights Terms remains subject to the Agreement.
1. ADDITIONAL DEFINITIONS. The following additional definitions shall apply.
1.1 “Rights Grantor” means Subscriber.
1.2 “Rights Grantee” means any person to whom Subscriber has granted Rights. For purposes of this Agreement, a Subscriber shall be deemed to have granted Rights to the entity assisting Subscriber with creating its account and initiating Subscriber’s access to Services.
2. TERMS. This Section governs Subscriber’s granting of Rights as a Rights Grantor.
2.1 LIMITED RIGHTS. A Rights Grantee’s right to access and use the ChargePoint Services for and on behalf of a Rights Grantor is limited to the specific Rights granted by such Rights Grantor to such Rights Grantee. Such Rights may be limited according to the Cloud Plan(s) subscribed to by Subscriber. Subscriber may revoke Rights, or any portion thereof, it has granted to a Rights Grantee at will and such Rights will thereafter by terminated with respect to such Rights Grantee.

Grant Application Support Scope
and Terms
ChargePoint’s Grant Development Team (“Grant Development Team”) assists customers seeking to apply for grant funding for their EV charging projects. Grant opportunities are available through grant applications such as RFPs, RFAs and RFQs issued by federal and state agencies, primarily through State Departments of Transportation and State Energy Offices.
To apply for a grant opportunity, the customer must first have an eligible site or project where the EV chargers will be installed. The Grant Development Team will then provide a suite of tools (e.g. program summaries, checklists, and proposal template), for the customer to review, fill out, and return, which will provide the information necessary for the Grant Development Team to assist the customer in developing the grant application. Requested information may include, without limitation, a description of the business structure, key staff that will be involved in the project, resumes, background and experience completing similar projects, project budgets and financial information , and other information specific to the grant opportunity. Timely responses and cooperation will be required from the customer to ensure that a complete and thorough grant application can be submitted on time. While a submission of a grant application in no manner guarantees success that the grant funding will be secured , the Grant Development Team will work with and advise the customer on ways to increase the probability of success based on the scoring criteria of the applicable grant application.
The table below describes the activities and expected deliverables (collectively the “Deliverables”) during the grant application development process. ChargePoint shall be free to provide material similar to the Deliverables to third parties whose needs may be similar to customer’s requirements. Each party’s use of the Deliverables shall be in compliance with its confidentiality obligations to the other party. The time to complete the grant application development process will vary depending on the complexity of the grant opportunity and how many unique locations or projects are submitted. The Grant Application Support service is subject to the ChargePoint Deployment and Consulting Services Terms and Conditions, as amended from time to time by ChargePoint , found at https://www.chargepoint.com/legal/deployment- consulting-services.
Critical Tasks and Activities, Deliverables and Completion Timeframe of Services Task Deliverables

Process RFP

The Grant Development Team will summarize the applicable grant application’s eligibility and requirements, via a PowerPoint and/or one-page summary, and may make, at customer’s request, such documentation available to customer.

Intake Form
The Grant Development Team will provide a list of information that the customer will need to provide to complete the grant application. A separate list may need to be filled out for each unique site the customer is applying for.
5 Budget The Grant Development Team will provide a budget template to assist with the calculation of the budget projection to the level of specificity required for the grant application.

Commitment
The Grant Development Team will provide customer with a letter template that will be customized to the requirements of the grant application. This letter template will require the customer to provide the required customer’s cost share for the project to move forward with the project if the applicable grant funding is awarded to the customer.
Customer will submit to the grant agency the letter template on the customer’s letterhead and have it signed by an authorized representative of the customer.
7 Draft Proposal The Grant Development Team will develop a draft proposal based on inputs from the Customer Intake Form and other information gathered from the customer. 8 Draft Proposal

The Grant Development Team will send a draft proposal of the grant application to the customer for review and comment. Customer’s authorized representative signature may also be required on various forms or letters at this step as well. 9 Final Proposal
Review
The Grant Development Team and customer will work together to undertake a final review of the grant application before assembling and preparing the grant application for submission.
10 Proposal
Submission
The grant application is submitted to the grant agency. Subject to customer’s request and approval, the Grant Development Team may submit the application on behalf of the customer. However, some programs required the customer submit it themselves, via email or an online portal. For those programs, the Grant Development Team will provide advice on the submission process.

Grant Application Support Scope
and Terms
ChargePoint’s Grant Development Team (“Grant Development Team”) assists customers seeking to apply for grant funding for their EV charging projects. Grant opportunities are available through grant applications such as RFPs, RFAs and RFQs issued by federal and state agencies, primarily through State Departments of Transportation and State Energy Offices.
To apply for a grant opportunity, the customer must first have an eligible site or project where the EV chargers will be installed. The Grant Development Team will then provide a suite of tools (e.g. program summaries, checklists, and proposal template), for the customer to review, fill out, and return, which will provide the information necessary for the Grant Development Team to assist the customer in developing the grant application. Requested information may include, without limitation, a description of the business structure, key staff that will be involved in the project, resumes, background and experience completing similar projects, project budgets and financial information , and other information specific to the grant opportunity. Timely responses and cooperation will be required from the customer to ensure that a complete and thorough grant application can be submitted on time. While a submission of a grant application in no manner guarantees success that the grant funding will be secured , the Grant Development Team will work with and advise the customer on ways to increase the probability of success based on the scoring criteria of the applicable grant application.
The table below describes the activities and expected deliverables (collectively the “Deliverables”) during the grant application development process. ChargePoint shall be free to provide material similar to the Deliverables to third parties whose needs may be similar to customer’s requirements. Each party’s use of the Deliverables shall be in compliance with its confidentiality obligations to the other party. The time to complete the grant application development process will vary depending on the complexity of the grant opportunity and how many unique locations or projects are submitted. The Grant Application Support service is subject to the ChargePoint Deployment and Consulting Services Terms and Conditions, as amended from time to time by ChargePoint , found at https://www.chargepoint.com/legal/deployment- consulting-services.
Critical Tasks and Activities, Deliverables and Completion Timeframe of Services Task Deliverables
1 Review and
Process RFP
Once the grant application (i.e. RFP, RFA, RFQ) opens, the Grant Development Team will complete a review of the grant application guidelines and associated attachments.
The Grant Development Team will summarize the applicable grant application’s eligibility and requirements, via a PowerPoint and/or one-page summary, and may make, at customer’s request, such documentation available to customer.
2 Q&A At the customer’s request, the Grant Development Team will compile and submit questions to the grant agency to clarify questions and/or comments from the grant application.
Rev. 04072023 2
3 Checklist If not provided by the applicable grant application, the Grant Development Team will create a checklist to track the various items needed to submit a grant response to the grant agency.
4 Customer
Intake Form
The Grant Development Team will provide a list of information that the customer will need to provide to complete the grant application. A separate list may need to be filled out for each unique site the customer is applying for.
5 Budget The Grant Development Team will provide a budget template to assist with the calculation of the budget projection to the level of specificity required for the grant application. Inputs may be required from the customer for design, engineering, and construction costs. For avoidance of doubt, ChargePoint offers a service separate from the Grant Application Support service (i.e. Site Preparation Plan) that collects and consolidates all the required site information for the budget projection step.
6 Letter of
Commitment
The Grant Development Team will provide customer with a letter template that will be customized to the requirements of the grant application. This letter template will require the customer to provide the required customer’s cost share for the project to move forward with the project if the applicable grant funding is awarded to the customer.
Customer will submit to the grant agency the letter template on the customer’s letterhead and have it signed by an authorized representative of the customer.
7 Draft Proposal The Grant Development Team will develop a draft proposal based on inputs from the Customer Intake Form and other information gathered from the customer. 8 Draft Proposal
Review
The Grant Development Team will send a draft proposal of the grant application to the customer for review and comment. Customer’s authorized representative signature may also be required on various forms or letters at this step as well. 9 Final Proposal
Review
The Grant Development Team and customer will work together to undertake a final review of the grant application before assembling and preparing the grant application for submission.
10 Proposal
Submission
The grant application is submitted to the grant agency. Subject to customer’s request and approval, the Grant Development Team may submit the application on behalf of the customer. However, some programs required the customer submit it themselves, via email or an online portal. For those programs, the Grant Development Team will provide advice on the submission process.

Parts: • Ensure all parts are provided, as necessary, to correct any defect in the materials or workmanship of a Charging Station in a prompt and professional matter. • Each Charging Station shall be corrected so that the Charging Station functions in line with that Charging Station’s published specifications. For avoidance of doubt, such correction shall be limited to the Charging Station itself and not any issue related to installation or electrical infrastructure. b. Service and Labor: • Except as otherwise provided, ensure that all labor is performed, on-site if necessary, to correct any defect in the materials or workmanship of the Charging Station in a prompt and professional manner. • Ensure that labor is performed for repairs caused by vandalism or auto accidents that affect the Charging Stations functionality.
