ALL OTHER SPARK ENERGY, LLC RESIDENTIAL AND SMALL COMMERCIAL TERMS OF SERVICE Page 3 of 4 SE_CT_CL&P;_RES_SM_COMM_TOS_20140908 LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO DIRECT ACTUAL DAMAGES ONLY, AND SUCH DIRECT ACTUAL DAMAGES WILL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ALL OTHER REMEDIES AT LAW OR IN EQUITY. THERE ARE NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES TO THIS AGREEMENT. To the extent any damages required to be paid hereunder are liquidated, the parties acknowledge that the damages are not intended and shall not be construed as a penalty, such damages are difficult or impossible to determine, that otherwise obtaining an adequate remedy is inconvenient or impossible, and that the liquidated damages constitute a reasonable approximation of the harm or loss. 11. Mandatory Arbitration. Any claim, dispute or controversy, regarding any contract, tort, statute, or otherwise (“Claim”), arising out of or relating to this agreement or the relationships among the parties hereto shall be resolved by one arbitrator through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), under the AAA Commercial or Consumer rules, as applicable, in effect at the time the Claim is filed (“AAA Rules”). Copies of the AAA Rules and forms can be located at www.adr.org, or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final, binding, and non-appealable. Judgment upon the award may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction. This clause is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Neither party shall sue the other party other than as provided herein or for enforcement of this clause or of the arbitrator’s award; any such suit may be brought only in Federal District Court for the District, or if any such court lacks jurisdiction, in any state court that has jurisdiction. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, unconscionability, arbitrability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement including any claim that all or any part of the Agreement is void or voidable. However, the preceding sentence shall not apply to the clause entitled “Class Action Waiver”. 12. Class action Waiver. Any Claim must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiff, or similar proceeding (“Class Action”). The parties expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum. The arbitrator shall not have authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any Class Action nor make an award to any entity or person not a party to the arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE HAD A RIGHT TO LITIGATE THROUGH A COURT, TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE THEIR CASE AND TO BE PARTY TO A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, HOWEVER, THEY UNDERSTAND AND CHOOSE TO HAVE ANY CLAIMS DECIDED INDIVIDUALLY, THROUGH ARBITRATION. 13. Miscellaneous. (a) If Spark Energy is rendered unable to perform, in whole or in part, by a Force Majeure event, its performance under this Agreement will be excused for the duration of such event. “Force Majeure” means any act or event that is beyond the reasonable control of Spark Energy that adversely affects, interrupts, or precludes its performance. In addition, acts of other parties, including without limitation, RTOs, aggregators, other suppliers, qualified scheduling entities, EDCs, any governmental authority, and the respective employees and agents of such parties, will also be deemed to be events of Force Majeure. (b) Your electric generation service will be provided in accordance with your existing connection requirements unless you request a change by the EDC and pay for the cost of that change. You may not resell or use any electric power provided under this Agreement as an auxiliary or supplement to any other source of power. The supply of electric power under this Agreement will be measured at the delivery point by the EDC providing the delivery service in accordance with the terms of the applicable tariff for electric generation service. Spark Energy and you will be bound by the measurement from the meters owned, installed, maintained and read by the EDC. (c) This Agreement will be governed by, interpreted, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Connecticut, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

(f) Any failure by Spark Energy to enforce any term or condition of your electric generation service or otherwise exercise any right it may have under this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of any rights to thereafter enforce any or all of the terms or conditions of your service or to exercise rights under this Agreement.SPARK ENERGY, LLC RESIDENTIAL AND SMALL COMMERCIAL TERMS OF SERVICE Page 4 of 4 SE_CT_CL&P;_RES_SM_COMM_TOS_20140908 (g) Should any provision of this Agreement for any reason be declared invalid or unenforceable by final and applicable order by a court or any regulatory body having jurisdiction, such decisions shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions, and the remaining portions shall remain in effect as if this Agreement had been agreed to without the invalid portion. If any provision of this Agreement is declared invalid, the remainder of this Agreement will be construed so as to give effect to its original intent and effect as near as possible.
