1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement

Effective October 10, 2016, Power Efficiency Corporation entered into a definitive agreement with Generate NY Grid Services, LLC whereby the parties will perform the contract requirements under the Brooklyn Queens Demand Management Auction (BQDM) program created by Consolidated Edison of New York. Power Efficiency had won a bid on August 10, 2016 to provide 12 Megawatts (MW) of Demand Response Energy in the summer months of 2017 and 2018 under the program.

A provision in the award bid required participants, including Power Efficiency, to provide a standby letter of credit in favor of Consolidated Edison prior to the contract award being fully satisfied. The amount required of Power Efficiency’s standby letter of credit was $793,000, which has been delivered to and accepted by Consolidated Edison as of October 14, 2016.

Under the agreement, Generate NY Grid serves as a special purpose vehicle (SPV) which will perform the services to be performed under the BDQM program and is also providing a financing facility for the purchase of equipment and to fund other costs. Power Efficiency assigned the BDQM program contract to the SPV. Under the agreement Generate NY Grid, agreed to provide a credit facility of up to $15,000,000 to support purchase of equipment and installation of the equipment at sites.

Under the agreement, the SPV provided half of the funds (with Power Efficiency providing the remaining half) necessary to support the issuance of the standby letter of credit. Power Efficiency will be an economic participant in the revenue and income generated through the SPV based on the Consolidate Edison program. Power Efficiency will be entitled to a funding fee or success fee of 5% of funds lent to the special purpose vehicle based on program costs to install equipment and 30% of the projects combined EBITDA basis, after the financial and project partner’s receipt of its repayment of lent funds and a rate of return of 20% on the funds lent and other expenses incurred to procure and install equipment and operate each project and fund the letter of credit.

The parties are obligated to perform under the BQDM program agreement with Consolidated Edison. In order to satisfy the contractual obligations, the parties must locate sites within the geographic area of the program, namely the Crown Heights, Richmond Hill and Ridgewood neighborhoods of Brooklyn and Queens, New York, purchase install and maintain the necessary equipment or load reduction programs. Under the contract with Consolidated Edison, the parties must deliver 4 megawatts of energy savings during the summer of 2017 and 8 additional megawatts during the summer of 2018. The resources employed by the participants must be in operation between 4 and 60 hours each summer. The parties will be required to apply for and obtain local permits with respect to the installation of the necessary equipment. The equipment can be a mix of battery storage, natural gas generators or demand response. In addition, the parties intend on procuring the services of a third party to oversee the purchase, installation and maintenance of the equipment and to oversee program performance during the life of the program.

In the event of failure to perform, the SPV and Power Efficiency, as the responsible parties under the contract, would be subject to liquidated damage claims based upon the rate of $10 per day per kilowatt of underperformance to a maximum of the lesser of $150 per kilowatt per year or 30% of the total incentive otherwise payable under the contract. Consolidated Edison has the right to draw down upon the standby letter of credit, collect directly from the contract parties and terminate the contract in full. In addition, the spv and Power Efficiency are required to obtain an additional standby letter of credit to support the 2018 contract obligations which additional letter of credit must be delivered in February 2017 in an amount of approximately $1,200,000. The foregoing summary is intended as a summary of the material terms of the contract and is subject to the full terms of the contract which is included as an Exhibit to this Report on Form 8-K.
