higher at a point on Company's system where Customer's operations will
not interfere with the quality of Company's service to any of its other
customers.
2, Customer agrees to provide the necessary equipment as approved by
Company to enable Customer to operate its generating equipment in parallel
with Company's system. Since the power factor and the voltage at which
Company's system and Customer's system are operated will vary, each party
agrees to operate its system at such power factor and voltage as is condu-
cive to best operating standards and in such manner as to absorb its share
of the reactive power.
3. Company reserves the right to disconnect service in the event service
to Customer results in trouble on Company's system such as interruptions,
grounds, radio or telephone interference, surges or objectionable voltages
fluctuations, where such trouble is casued by negligence of Customer if,

Determination of Demand The demand in kilovolt- amperes for billing purposes
shall be determined by dividing the maximum demand in kilowatts by the monthly
average power factor, but in no month shall the demand to be billed be con-
sidered as less than 50% of the greatest demand in kva billed during the pre-
ceding eleven months nor in any event less than 50 kva.
Maximum Demand The maximum demand in kilowatts shall be the greatest 15- minute
load during the month for which bill is rendered.
Average Power Factor The average power factor is defined to be the quotient
obtained by dividing the kilowatt -hours used during the month by the square
root of the sum of the squares of the kilowatt -hours used and the lagging
reactive kilovolt- ampere -hours supplied during the same period. Any leading
kilovolt- ampere -hours supplied during the period will not be considered in
determining the average power factor.
Minimum Demand to Be Billed The monthly demand charge shall not be less than
provided above, whether or not energy is used.
X -ray Machines, Transformer Type Welders, Etc. X -ray, transformer type welding,
and other equipment, with intermittent and rapidly fluctuating operating
characteristics shall be subject to a service charge, added to the Demand
Charge, equal to 40¢ per month per kilovolt - ampere of excess capacity pro-
vided by Company to prevent impairment of Company's service by customer's
operation of such equipment.
Term of Agreement Service agreement shall be for a term of one year, and, if
not then terminated by at least 6 months' prior written notice by either party,
shall continue until so terminated.
Standby and Supplementary Service
Availability Available to any large industrial customer who normally supplies
part or all of his electric power requirements from another independent source
of power for which the Company's service may be substituted wholly or in part.
Customer shall contract for capacity adequate to supply the entire electric
requirements for which such service may be used which capacity shall equal or
exceed the agreed kva demand for standby to Customer's other source of power.
Company shall not be obligated to supply capacity in excess of that contracted
for.

Rate The billing shall be in accordance with Company's Large Industrial
Service rate schedule for high voltage service except that the paragraph
"Determination of Demand" shall be modified to read as follows; "The
demand in kilovolt - amperes for billing purposes shall be determined by
dividing the maximum demand in kilowatts by the monthly average power
factor, but in no month shall the demand to be billed be considered as
less than the agreed standby demand plus 50% of the greatest excess de-
mand in kva over such standby demand billed during the preceding eleven
months nor in any event less than 2500 kva."
Parallel Operation Interconnection and parallel operation of Customer's
independent source of power (Customer's system) and Company's service
(Company's system) will be permitted by Company under the following
conditions;
1. The interconnection between the systems must be at 12,400 volts
or higher at a point on Company's system where Customer's operations
will not interfere with the quality of Company's service to any of
its other customers.
2. Customer agrees to provide the necessary equipment as approved by
Company to enable Customer to operate its generating equipment in parallel
with Company's system. Since the power factor and the voltage at which
Company's system and Customer's system are operated will vary, each party
agrees to operate its system at such power factor and voltage as is con-
ducive to best operating standards and in such manner as to absorb its
share of the reactive power..
3. Company reserves the right to disconnect service in the event service
to Customer results in trouble on Company's system such as interruptions,
grounds, radio or telephone interference, surges or objectionable voltage
fluctuations, where such trouble is caused by negligence of Customer if,
after giving notice in writing to Customer of such trouble, Customer fails
to remedy the causes thereof within a reasonable time.
4. Company's meters will be ratcheted to measure the flow of power and
energy from Company to Customer only. Reverse flow, if any, will be ignored
unless the amount is substantial in which event it will be a matter for
negotiation and further agreement between the parties.
