DETERMINATION OF DEMAND The billing demand shall be the maximum kilowatt demand during the respective On-Peak or Off-Peak Periods established by the member for any period of 30 consecutive minutes for the month the bill is rendered, as indicated or recorded by a demand meter and adjusted for power factor correction if necessary. DETERMINATION OF ON-PEAK AND OFF-PEAK HOURS

SCHEDULE MAF

MONTHLY ADJUSTMENT FACTOR APPLICABILITY This schedule is applicable to and becomes a part of each electric service rate schedule of the Cooperative in which reference is made to Schedule "MAF." ADJUSTMENT OF BILLS Current monthly bills will be increased or decreased, per kilowatt-hour sold, by an amount determined in the formula below to the nearest one thousandth of a cent (.00001). MAF = [C x A) - B] � 1,000 kWh

Where: C = The current month cost of 1000 kWh under rate "D," including the preceding month's MAF

B = Base rate cost of 1000 kWh under rate "D" which is $114.00 at the effective date stated below; and

Where: A is determined as follows:

A = .9995 if T is greater than the target TIER level and D is greater than -0-

A = 1.0001 if T is less than or equal to the target TIER level and D is greater than -0-

A = 1.0035 if T is less than or equal to the target TIER level and D is less than -0-

Where: T = The Cooperative's TIER based on the most recent twelve-months' total margins

D = Accumulated Deferred Credit balance TARGET TIER LEVEL A "target" TIER level will be established from time to time by the Board of Trustees. Such TIER level will not be lower than the minimum level specified in the then current RUS Supplemental Mortgage Agreement or any successor mortgage covenant agreement with any lender. DEFERRED CREDIT BALANCE ADJUSTMENT (DCB) At any time, if the amount in the Deferred Account becomes excessively large, either positive or negative, the Board of Trustees may authorize a further adjustment to retail rates, to amortize the amount in the Deferred Account to rates. MARGIN STABILIZATION PLAN/ INDEXING The MONTHLY ADJUSTMENT FACTOR is an integral part of the Cooperative's Margin Stabilization Plan adopted by the Board of Trustees on December 20, 1989 and is intended to assure attainment of a prescribed TIER level in each fiscal calendar year. In the event of a major increase or decrease in costs, the Cooperative may make a corresponding adjustment to factor "C" above for the purpose of indexing to the new level of costs.

The Board approved new rate schedules on July 28, 2010 effective with all bills rendered on or after November 1, 2010.


RIDER LOAD CONTROL RATE

AVAILABILITY The availability of this Rider is limited to Rate Schedules D, G, and R, and by the number of switches allotted by the Cooperative’s wholesale power supplier.

APPLICABILITY To those members who have a Cooperative load control switch attached to their water heater(s) of at least 40 gallons (240 volts) and/or central air conditioner system(s), and whose electrical consumption is 500 kilowatt-hours per month or greater. TYPE OF SERVICE The Cooperative shall have the right to interrupt service to the member's central air conditioning (cooling) system(s) and/or electric water heater(s). This interruption of service may be at any time for the purpose of curtailing system demand. The Cooperative also reserves the right to "control test" the functioning of these control devices, at any time, and to physically inspect the switch(es) at any reasonable time. CREDITS FOR LOAD CONTROL A $2.00 monthly payment, in the form of a billing credit, will be made to the member for each water heater control switch that is installed during each entire billing period. A $4.00 monthly payment, in the form of a billing credit, will be made to the member for each central air conditioner control switch that is installed during each entire billing period of June, July and August. EFFECTIVE DATE This rate becomes effective for those accounts that qualify and are billed on, or after, November 1, 2010, and is subject to being modified or discontinued by the Cooperative, at its sole discretion, based upon the benefits of load control.


LEXINGTON, SC

NET METERING RIDER FOR RESIDENTIAL AND SMALL COMMERCIAL RATES

Availability

This rider is available in conjunction with the Cooperative’s Residential Rates (D, G & R) and the Cooperative’s Small Commercial Rate (C). All retail members who own and operate a solar photovoltaic, wind-powered, biomass-fueled, or micro-hydro generating system, located and used at the member’s primary legal residence or business where a part or all of the electrical requirements of the member can be supplied from the member’s generating system can receive service under this rider. The rated capacity of the member’s generating system shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the member’s estimated maximum kilowatt demand or (b) 20 kilowatts for a residential system or 100 kilowatts for a nonresidential system. The member’s generating system as referenced above must be manufactured, installed and operated in accordance with governmental and industry standards, and must fully conform with the Cooperative’s Interconnection Standard. This rider is available on a first come, first serve basis, except that the total capacity of all retail member generating systems under this rider shall not exceed 0.2% of the Cooperative’s hourly integrated peak load, as measured at its distribution substations, for the prior calendar year. If the member’s proposed installation results in exceeding this limit, the member will be notified that service under this rider is not allowed.

Rate per Month

The applicable rate per month shall be from the appropriate rate schedule as referenced in the Availability section above. The monthly bill shall be determined as follows: For electric service under a standard, non time-of-use rate schedule (Rates D, C, G, & R): 1. The facilities charge shall be determined and billed as set forth in the applicable rate schedule as

described in the Availability section above. 2. Energy charges (or credits) shall be based on the rates in the applicable rate schedules as described in

the Availability section above. For purposes of calculating monthly energy in kilowatt-hours, member’s usage shall be reduced by the total of (a) any excess energy delivered to the Cooperative in the current month plus (b) any accumulated excess energy balance remaining from prior months. Total energy in kilowatt-hours billed to members shall never be less than zero. For any billing month during which excess energy exceeds the member’s usage in total, producing a net credit, the respective energy charges for the month shall be zero. Credits shall not offset the facilities charge for the applicable rate schedule.

3. Excess energy not used in the current billing month to reduce billed kilowatt-hour usage shall be accumulated and used to reduce usage in future months; however, any accumulated excess energy not used to reduce billed kilowatt-hour usage shall be reset to zero each June 1. Excess energy delivered prior to June 1 will only be used to reduce usage provided by the Cooperative prior to June 1.

4. There will be no compensation paid to the retail member for excess energy granted to the Cooperative.

5. For each nameplate kW of installed solar photovoltaic generating capacity, there is a $5.00 per month

distribution service charge. However, for the term of the rider, this charge to consumer will be waived by the Cooperative and paid by the wholesale power supplier.

6. For each nameplate kW of installed, wind-powered, biomass-fueled, or micro-hydro generation, the monthly distribution service charge will be determined on a case by case basis. However, for the term of the rider, this charge to consumer will be waived by the Cooperative and paid by the wholesale power supplier.

Definitions Section
