1. Applicant has paid a $5.00 membership fee with this application. If this Application is not accepted by the Cooperative, the fee will be returned to the Applicant.

2. Applicant agrees to comply with and be bound by the provisions of the Cooperative's Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, rates, tariffs, this Application, Service Rules and Regulations and other reasonable rules and regulations as from time to time adopted by the Cooperative, including without limitation the following obligations of the Applicant and rights of the Cooperative.

A. To take and purchase from the Cooperative all central station electric energy, capacity and electric distribution service (collectively, "Electric Service") from the Cooperative for the premises for which Electric Service is sought in this Application;

B. To execute and deliver to the Cooperative grants of easement or right-of way over, on and under the premises to which Electric Service is to be provided, for the construction, operation, maintenance or relocation of the Cooperatives facilities, lines and equipment, including without limitation the right to ingress and egress as well as clear and remove vegetation or other threats or interferences with the electric system;

C. To pay the full price of Electric Service at the applicable rate, regardless if the charges invoiced by the Cooperative;

D. To grant to the Cooperative a security interest in and permit the Cooperative to offset debts owed by me to the Cooperative against all amounts owed me that are held by the Cooperative;

Proceeds from Operation RoundUp go to the Washington Electric Foundation, which makes charitable donations within the Cooperative's service area.
