identified Electric Service Account(s) ("ESA(s)") specified in the Sales Confirmation. The terms and conditions of the purchase and sale are set
forth in this Agreement and in the Sales Confirmation. The electricity will be delivered to Buyer’s Transmission and Distribution Service Provider
(“DSP”) corresponding to the Buyer's ESA (the “Delivery Point’) and title to and risk of loss related to electricity shall transfer from Seller to Buyer
at the Delivery Point. Buyer acknowledges and understands that the delivery of electricity to Buyer's ESA will be accomplished exclusively by the
DSP from the Delivery Point to the ESA.

date that occurs during the month and year identified as the Start Date specified in the Sales Confirmation. The “Service End Date’ is typically
the scheduled read date that occurs during the month and year identified as the End Date specified in the Sales Confirmation. Each ESA may
have a separate Service Start Date and Service End Date.

4. Billing & Payment: Buyer will be invoiced the total amount due for electricity delivered to Buyer during each month in one of the following
ways based on availability and eligibility of Customer(s) Account(s), which may change from time to time: (a) Dual Billing: Buyer will receive two
invoices, one from Seller for Electricity Charges and one from the DSP for the amounts payable by Buyer for services provided by the DSP; or

month or the maximum amount allowable by law (the “Interest Rate”). Buyer shall be responsible for any and all collection costs incurred by
Seller. If applicable, Buyer will continue to receive a separate invoice from the DSP for distribution and metering charges related to Buyer's
receipt of electricity.

Defaulting Party”) shall have the right (i) to designate a day, no earlier than the day such notice is effective and no later than twenty (20) days

deliveries of electricity. The Non-Defaulting Party shall calculate, ina commercially reasonable manner, a “Settlement Amount’ for the Terminated
Transactions as of the Early Termination Date (or, if in the reasonable opinion of the Non-Defaulting Party certain of such Terminated Transactions

thereafter as is reasonably practicable).

(b) For purposes of subparagraph (a) above, the “Settlement Amount” shall mean (i) the then current replacement value of this Agreement

Transactions. For purposes of the foregoing, “Losses” means with respect to any Party, an amount equal to the present value of the economic
loss to it, if any (exclusive of Costs), resulting from termination of the Terminated Transaction, determined in a commercially reasonable manner.
“Gains” means, with respect to any Party, an amount equal to the present value of the economic benefit to it, if any (exclusive of Costs), resulting

Defaulting Party, brokerage fees, commissions, and other similar third party transaction costs, and expenses reasonably incurred by such Party
either in terminating any arrangement pursuant to which it has hedged its obligations or entering into new arrangement which replace a Terminated
Transaction; and all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Non-Defaulting Party in connection with the termination of this
Agreement and any Transaction. For purposes hereof, the “present value” of any amount will be calculated using the six-month London Interbank
Offered Rate as posted in the “Money Rates” column of The Wail Street Journal as of the date of such determination.

Party, any cash or other form of security then available to the Non-Defaulting Party pursuant to Paragraph Q, plus any or all other amounts due
to the Defaulting Party under this Agreement, against (ii) all Settlement Amounts that are due to the Non-Defaulting Party, plus any or all other
amounts due to the Non-Defauiting Party under this Agreement, so that all such amounts shall be netted out to a single liquidated amount (the

Tim Cummings, Director of Economic Development

For the record, Tim Cummings, Director of Economic Development and yes this is also for the top floor of the
garages.

Alderwoman Kelly

Thank you Mr. Mayor. How do we account for winters like last winter when we are figuring out the budget for
snow plowing?

Mr. Cummings

I’m sorry, I’m not sure | am following the question.

Alderwoman Kelly

So it was a very heavy snow last year, | imagine we went over our contract. Where do we get the number
from, is it based on the year before?

Mr. Cummings

Yes, so Mr. Mayor if | may, we budget for it looking at past history is really all that we can do. And then we
monitor it very closely. | will say that last year we had a, | don’t want to say the word surplus, but we did have
money left in that account at the end of the year. | try to make sure that we have that every year so we stay on
top of that diligently.

With that being said, | also wanted to come this evening and make a point or comment relative to this contract.
It was brought to my attention on Friday of last week, too late for this process here, that there may be a
potential that with this contract an expansion. If that is the case, | will communicate that to you, where we will
be also looking to maintain the pedestrian bridges here in this City. | don’t have all the answers yet on that |
just wanted to telegraph that for you in advance, make sure you know that this would be the type of contract
that would be handling that service. We are going to work through those issues over the next couple of weeks
and if we are successful | will be back before you to communicate exactly how that is resolved. | just want to
make it so that this group is aware of that.

general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide
financial statements.

Amounts reported as program revenues include (1) charges to customers or applicants for
goods, services, or privileges provided, (2) operating grants and contributions, and
(3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated
resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise,
general revenues include all taxes.

Fund Financial Statements

Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized
as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available
when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay
liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers property tax and
intergovernmental revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end
of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and
available only when cash is received by the City. Expenditures generally are recorded when
a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, certain expenditures such as
debt service, claims and judgment, compensated absences, OPEB, and pension are recorded
only when payment is due.

The City reports the following major governmental funds:

« The General Fund is the government’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all
financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for
in another fund.

e The Debt Service Fund is used to account for resources and debt service payments
associated with the bond issuance for the acquisition of Pennichuck Corporation.

The proprietary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are
recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when liabilities are incurred.

Proprietary funds (which include both enterprise and internal service funds) distinguish
operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses
generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection
with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues
of the enterprise fund are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses
for enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses and
depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are
reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.

The City reports the following major proprietary funds:

e The Wastewater Enterprise Fund that accounts for the resources and cost associated
with the City’s wastewater treatment.

Camille Pattison, Transportation Department Manager

Sure, so in August we were awarded a LOW-NO Emission Grant, it was a nationally competitive grant. These
will be replacing two of the trolleys with two new electric hybrid buses, so we will be continuing our efforts to
maintain a green fleet, we will get the diesel trolleys off the road. If we are able to get through our process
relatively quickly, then Gillig has assured us that they can actually start production of these electric hybrid
buses next August, which means we would have them about a year from now. That is actually expedited,
typically it takes 72 months for them to actually build the buses, so they are willing to work with us and get
those out here a little bit earlier, which is pretty significant.

Another kind of cool feature of this grant, they consider the selection process to be competitive with FTA
standards, so we don’t actually have to go out and do another competitive RFP process. So it does trigger the
sole source for the City. We like to partner with Gillig and BAE, those are the folks that we named in the grant
and as long as we partner with them, that qualifies as the competitive process. So it a sole source on the City
side.

Alderman Laws

| just wanted to thank you for this. | am sure that everyone saw the news article that came out recently that
says that if we don’t reduce our carbon emissions by 100% by 2050 we are going to have grow gills; so |
appreciate the effort that you guys are putting in especially with securing these grants. So thank you for that.
Ms. Pattison

Well Mayor Donchess had expressed significant interest in pursuing the electric hybrid buses so when we saw
the grant come out, we thought it was kind of a long shot, but we went for it. So it was a win.

Mayor Donchess

Very good job.

Alderman Klee

Thank you, | want to commend you on getting the grant and all that has been done to do this. If | am not
mistaken when we first talked about this, they talked about keeping at least one of the trolleys for, | don’t want
to say for entertainment use, but for something like that.

Ms. Pattison

So we will. This will allow us to take two of the trolleys off the road; we have another grant that will buy one
more full size CNG and that will replace the other one, but we will keep one for like special events when we do
shuttle services, things like the tours and the Holiday Stroll. So we will keep one for that, we will just rehab it
and keep it for special events like that. But what we found consistently and | know the Mayor’s Office has had
a lot of complaints as well, they are not comfortable especially for seniors who ride them. There are steps and
it does make it more difficult; it is a rougher ride and the new buses are more comfortable.

Alderman Klee

Ok and what are the plans with the other two, will we be selling those off, auctioning them?

Ms. Pattison

Yes we will sell them off. Typically we use the public auction, we work with Dan Kooken’s office and that was
how we were able to dispose of the previous buses that we had as well, the whole fleet.
