City Council Agenda Item Report
Submitted by: Jessica Balandran
Submitting Department: Public Utilities
Meeting Date: June 21, 2022

SUBJECT
Revision to Daggett Solar Power 2 Project Power Sales Agreement with Southern California Public Power Authority
Recommendation:

A. Find that approval of the proposed action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, because it is an administrative and fiscal activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; with regard to the underlying project and pursuant to the Power Purchase Agreement between SCPPA and Daggett Solar Power 2 LLC, the lead agencies have obtained all CEQA determinations required for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the facility, or such determinations are reasonably expected to be timely obtained; and B. Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute the revised Daggett Solar Power 2 Project Power Sales Agreement with Southern California Public Power Authority, in substantially the same form as submitted, for the purpose of purchasing 60 megawatts of solar power and 30 megawatts of battery storage with associated green attributes through the Daggett Solar Power 2 Project at a revised projected annual amount of approximately $8,100,000 over a 20-year term.

Background:

On February 15, 2022, City Council approved a Power Sales Agreement (PSA) with Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA), in substantially the same form as submitted, for the purpose of purchasing 60 megawatts of solar power and 30 megawatts of battery storage with associated green attributes through the Daggett Solar Power 2 Project (Daggett 2 Project) for a projected annual amount of approximately $7,100,000 over a 20-year term. On April 15, 2022, prior to SCPPA fully executing the Power Purchase Agreement, Clearway Energy Group LLC (Clearway Energy), the developer of the Daggett 2 Project, informed SCPPA of a price increase and a change to the Guaranteed Commercial Operation Date (GCOD).

Clearway Energy and the Daggett 2 Project are facing significant challenges in their supply chain due to increased COVID-19 related restrictions in Asia and the United States (U.S.) ports, U.S. trade laws with regards to the recent Auxin investigation of anti-dumping, and the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian War. Consequently, supply chain issues and the new market environment for Photo Voltaic (PV) solar projects have resulted in Clearway Energy experiencing a significant price increase in PV solar panels, battery costs, Engineering Procurement Contracts (EPCs), and transportation costs. Thus, resulting in a price increase for all off-takers of Daggett Solar projects. The revised PSA includes an approximate 13% increase for PV, an approximate 17% increase for the battery system, and a change to the GCOD.

Original Terms approved on February 15, 2022:

Guaranteed Commercial Operation Date (GCOD) September 30, 2023 Solar Contract Capacity (MW) 60
Contract Price ($/MWh) $24.85
BESS Contract Capacity (MW/MWh) 30/120
BESS Capacity Price ($/kW-mo) $6.80
Revised Terms:

Guaranteed Commercial Operation Date (GCOD) December 20, 2023 Solar Contract Capacity (MW) 60
Contract Price ($/MWh) $28.10
BESS Contract Capacity (MW/MWh) 30/120
BESS Capacity Price ($/kW-mo) $7.95
The revised PSA results in an increase of approximately $1,000,000 each year, changing the projected annual amount to approximately $8,100,000. As previously detailed this is a fixed price contract, output from the Project will degrade over time, thereby reducing the annual expense as the actual energy received. This type of agreement, despite the revised price and GCOD changes, still provides Vernon the opportunity to purchase affordable renewable energy with similar agencies seeking economies of scale. The PSA will protect the City from market price volatility and generation curtailment risks while enforcing development milestone dates with significant financial penalties. This will be the first battery storage project for the City. Battery storage technology enables the storage of energy from the solar power system or the grid during the middle of the day with low energy prices, and the discharge of that energy during peak high price evening hours.

As referenced in the February 15, 2022 staff report, Daggett 2 Project is a solar and storage project developed by Clearway Energy located in San Bernardino County. It was developed to make 650 megawatts (MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) with battery storage capability of 450 megawatts (MW) through a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) while interconnecting to the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) System. The Daggett 2 Project is currently the largest solar and battery project in California, with affordable renewable energy for purchase. Even at the proposed revised price and new GCOD, the Daggett 2 Project continues to be very attractive and competitively priced in the market. Comparable projects are approximately 20-25% higher than the new proposed terms.

In an effort to comply with RPS regulations, staff recommends that City Council approve the revised PSA with SCPPA which will allow the City to obtain Portfolio Content Category 1 (PCC1) “bucket one” solar energy and Renewable Energy Credits that meet the RPS compliance requirements for Category 1, as set forth in the California Public Utilities Code, Section 399.16(b)(1)(A), which states, “Consistent with the goals of procuring the least-cost and best-fit electricity products from eligible renewable energy resources that meet project viability principles adopted by the commission pursuant to paragraph (5) of subdivision (a) of Section 399.13 and that provide the benefits set forth in Section 399.11, a balanced portfolio of eligible renewable energy resources shall be procured consisting of Eligible renewable energy resource electricity products that have a first point of interconnection with a California balancing authority.”
The participation in the Daggett 2 Project, including recent revisions continues to fully align with the City's 2018 Electric Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), which was adopted by City Council on November 20, 2018, after diligent educational outreach to community stakeholders. The IRP is Vernon’s 10-year blueprint for ensuring reliable and environmentally responsible energy, at affordable rates. An RPS goal of 60% by 2030 is VPU’s commitment to a sustainable energy future.

If the City Council approves the revised PSA, the City will still purchase 60 MW of solar power and 30 MW of battery storage for a term of 20 years, beginning with the revised project GCOD date of December 20, 2023. The City of Cerritos remains a participant in the project. In the event, the City of Cerritos decides not to participate in the Project, the City will purchase the additional 5 MW of solar power, for a total of 65 MW, and the additional 3 MW of battery storage, for a total of 33 MW. This will result in an annual cost of approximately $9,100,000.

The proposed PSA is exempt from competitive bidding and competitive selection pursuant to Vernon Municipal Code Sections 3.32.110 (A)(5) and (B)(1), which exempt contracts with other governmental entities for supplies, equipment, or services. SCPPA conducted a competitive selection process and received several proposals, of which, the Daggett Solar Power 2, LLC Project was one of the lowest priced and backed by a reliable developer. The revisions to the PSA have been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.

Fiscal Impact:

Funds for the purchase of renewable energy from the Daggett Solar Power 2 Project through the proposed PSA with SCPPA will be budgeted accordingly for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 (Public Utilities Electric Enterprise Fund) during the annual City budget process and for subsequent years in Account No. 055.9200.500154.

1. PARTIES. This Daggett Solar Power 2 Project Power Sales Agreement (this “Agreement”), is dated for convenience as of the [__] day of [___________], [____], by and between the SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PUBLIC POWER AUTHORITY, a joint powers agency and a public entity organized under the laws of the State of California, hereinafter designated as “SCPPA,” and the CITY OF VERNON, a municipal corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California. The CITY OF VERNON is also periodically designated in this Agreement as “Vernon” or as “Purchaser, or, depending upon the context as “SCPPA Participant”. VERNON and SCPPA are also sometimes herein referred to individually as a “Party” and together as the “Parties.”

2. RECITALS, CONSTRUCTION AND PRELIMINARY MATTERS. The Recitals set forth herein and the facts, which follow, are incorporated into this Agreement by reference for all purposes. The facts and the circumstances of the Parties contained in the Recitals, among others, represent the background and framework for this Agreement, the aim and purpose of this Agreement and the intendments of the Parties with respect thereto. This Agreement has been reviewed by attorneys for both Parties and shall not be interpreted with reference to the rules of construction providing for construction against a Party responsible for drafting or creating a particular provision or section, but should instead be interpreted in a manner which broadly implements the goals and objectives of the Parties as expressed herein.

References to “Sections,” and “Appendices,” shall be to Sections, and Appendices as the case may be, of this Agreement unless otherwise specifically provided. Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or given any substantive effect. Any of the terms defined herein may, unless the context otherwise requires, be used in the singular or the plural, depending on the reference. The use herein of the word “include” or “including”, when following any general statement, term or matter, shall not be construed to limit such statement, term or matter to the specific items or matters set forth immediately following such word or to similar items or matters, whether or not nonlimiting language (such as “without limitation” or “but not limited to” or words of similar import) is used with reference thereto, but rather shall be deemed to refer to all other items or matters that fall within the broadest possible scope of such general statement, term or matter. This Agreement is made with reference to the following facts among others:

SCPPA was created pursuant to provisions contained in the Joint Exercise of Powers Act found in Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code of California, as amended from time to time (the “Act” as defined in Appendix A), by its members, which are municipalities and an irrigation district that supply, among other things, electrical energy in the State of California, for the purpose of jointly and cooperatively undertaking the planning, financing, development, acquisition, construction, improvement, betterment, operation, and maintenance of projects for the generation or transmission of electric energy, including the development and 2 implementation of systems and frameworks for the acquisition and delivery of secure, long-term reliable supplies of renewable electric energy.

Pursuant to the terms of the Act, SCPPA has the power, for the purpose of promoting, maintaining and operating electric generation and transmission, to plan, develop, contract for, finance, acquire, design, undertake, own, construct, manage, operate, maintain and administer projects involving systems, methodologies and programs for the acquisition, supply, procurement and delivery of secure, long-term reliable supplies of renewable electric energy, including solar energy, and to cause such projects to be planned, developed, contracted for, financed, acquired, designed, undertaken, constructed, managed, operated, maintained and administered and to provide by agreement for the performance and carrying out of any such activities.

Vernon is a California municipality that provides electric energy to its citizens through its municipally owned electric power system. Vernon is one of the parties to the SCPPA Joint Powers Agreement.

In pursuit of potential renewable electric resources to address SCPPA member renewable energy needs, SCPPA issued a request for proposals to acquire renewable energy resources and projects with energy storage capability. As a result of the response by Clearway Renew LLC on behalf of its affiliate, Power Purchase Provider, SCPPA and two of its members, Vernon and the City of Cerritos, have identified and investigated the feasibility of a photovoltaic solar energy generation resource and battery energy storage system to be located in San Bernardino County, California. The facility known as the Daggett Solar Power 2 Project is to be developed by Power Purchase Provider.

SCPPA intends to enter into a Power Purchase Agreement with Daggett Solar Power 2, LLC for the purchase of electric output and certain battery energy storage projects from the Daggett Solar Power 2 Project (the “Project”, as further defined in Appendix A hereof).

Vernon has a need for a percentage of the Facility Products and has determined to enter into this Agreement with SCPPA for the purpose of meeting such needs.

SCPPA is authorized to exercise the powers vested in SCPPA pursuant to the Act, its Joint Powers Agreement and this Agreement, as agent for Vernon to fully implement Vernon’s objectives in the Project as set forth herein.

3. AGREEMENT. For and in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and in order to pay SCPPA for Vernon’s share of SCPPA’s costs with respect to the Project, the Parties agree as herein set forth.

4. DEFINITIONS. Appendix A to this Agreement attached hereto and incorporated herein, sets forth definitions of certain terms used in this Agreement. Certain other capitalized terms used herein are defined in the Power Purchase Agreement and shall have the meaning ascribed therein. The terms defined in Appendix A, the Power Purchase Agreement and this Section 4, whether in the singular or plural, unless specifically provided otherwise, when 3 used herein or in the Appendices hereto and initially capitalized, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in said Appendix A, the Power Purchase Agreement or as set out below:

14 7. CHARGES AND BILLINGS.

7.1 Monthly Costs. The amount of monthly costs which shall be paid by Vernon to SCPPA for a particular Month ("Monthly Costs") shall be the sum of the following, as applicable, subject to any adjustments as provided in Section 12 hereof:

7.1.1 Vernon’s Participant Facility Products Cost Share multiplied by the Delivery Output Cost Component of Total Power Costs (as provided in Section 4.3.1) for such Month.

7.1.2 Vernon’s Participant Facility Products Cost Share multiplied by the Power Purchase Agreement General and Administrative Cost Component of Total Power Costs (as provided in Section 4.3.2 hereof) for such Month.

7.1.3 Vernon’s share of the Supplementary Services Cost Component of Total Power Costs (as provided in Section 4.3.3 hereof) based on Vernon’s allocated share of any such services procured by SCPPA on behalf of Vernon for such Month.

7.1.4 Vernon’s Participant Facility Products Cost Share multiplied by the Reserve Fund Cost Component of Total Power Costs (as provided in Section 4.3.4 hereof) for such Month.

7.1.5 Vernon’s Participant Facility Products Cost Share multiplied by the Power Purchase Agreement Cost Component of Total Power Costs (as provided in Section 4.3.5 hereof) for such Month.

7.2 Billing Statement. By the fifth Day of each Month during each Power Supply Year, SCPPA shall bill Vernon for the amount of Monthly Costs to be paid by Vernon for the current Month by providing Vernon with a Billing Statement in accordance with the charges established pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that such Billing Statement, with respect to the cost of Facility Products provided by SCPPA to Vernon under this Agreement, shall also include with respect to the performance by SCPPA or the counterparty under and pursuant to applicable Project Agreements, any charge or credit to Vernon with respect to the costs or revenues attributable to Vernon pursuant to and under any applicable Project Agreement. Such Billing Statement shall detail the costs described in Section 7.1 hereof and shall set forth, among other things, the amounts due for such Month by Vernon with respect to the items of Monthly Costs set forth in Section 7.1, as such Monthly Costs may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with Section 5 and this Section 7. Such Billing Statement shall be paid by Vernon on or before twenty (20) Days after receipt of such Billing Statement.

7.3 Adoption of Alternative Billing Statement Procedures. The Coordinating Committee may recommend the adoption of an alternative Billing Statement billing methodology in connection with each SCPPA Participant’s Billing Statement with respect to the Total Power Costs and the costs associated with any Project Agreement. Such alternative Billing Statement procedures may be placed into effect with the approval of the same by resolution of the Board of Directors. Any such 15 alternative Billing Statement billing methodology shall be fiscally prudent, financially sound and shall assure coverage of all potential and actual costs and obligations of SCPPA.

7.4 Disputed Monthly Billing Statement. In case any portion of any Billing Statement received by Vernon from SCPPA shall be in bona fide dispute, Vernon shall pay SCPPA the full amount of such Billing Statement and, upon determination of the correct amount, the difference between such correct amount and such full amount, if any, including interest at the rate received by SCPPA on any overpayment, will be credited to Vernon by SCPPA after such determination; provided, however, that such interest shall not accrue on any overpayment that is acknowledged by SCPPA and returned to Vernon by the fifth Day following the receipt by SCPPA of the disputed overpayment. In the event such Billing Statement is in dispute, SCPPA will give consideration to such dispute and will advise Vernon with regard to SCPPA’s position relative thereto within thirty (30) Days following receipt of written notification by Vernon of such dispute.

7.5 Reconciliation of Monthly Costs. As soon as practicable after the end of each Power Supply Year, or more frequently if so determined by the Board of Directors, SCPPA will submit to Vernon and each of the other SCPPA Participants a detailed statement of the actual aggregate Monthly Costs and other amounts payable hereunder, including any credits thereto, for all of the Months of such Power Supply Year, and the adjustments of the aggregate Monthly Costs and other amounts payable hereunder, if any, for any prior Power Supply Year, based on the annual audit of accounts provided for in Section 5.6. If, on the basis of the statement submitted as provided in this Section 7.5, the actual aggregate Monthly Costs and other amounts payable by Vernon for any Power Supply Year exceed the amount thereof which Vernon has been billed, Vernon shall pay SCPPA, within twenty (20) Days after receipt of SCPPA’s invoice, the amount to which SCPPA is entitled. If, on the basis of the statement submitted pursuant to this Section 7.5, the actual aggregate Monthly Costs or other amounts payable by Vernon for any Power Supply Year are less than the amount therefor which Vernon has been billed, SCPPA shall, unless otherwise directed by Vernon with respect to moneys owed to it, credit such excess against Vernon’s next monthly Billing Statement.

7.6 Other or Additional Cost Reconciliation Mechanisms. The Board of Directors may, by resolution, authorize or prescribe other billing, payment, costing and cost reconciliation mechanisms to address such billing, payment, costing and cost reconciliation issues as may from time to time arise with respect to the Project.

7.7 Prepayment of Monthly Costs. Vernon may, at any time, pay moneys to SCPPA or utilize any credits due or amounts owed by SCPPA to Vernon with respect to the Project for the purpose of prepaying its monthly Billing Statement. Such moneys and amounts owed by SCPPA under any Project Agreement shall be deposited into an account established by, or at the direction of, SCPPA. Consistent with SCPPA’s investment policy, moneys in such account shall be invested pursuant to instructions provided to SCPPA by Vernon and all investment income shall be credited to such account. Payment of the amount of any monthly Billing Statement or 16 Default Invoice shall be made from moneys available in such account to the extent set forth in written directions from Vernon to SCPPA received at least five business days prior to the due date of such payment. Any credit or prepayment with respect to its monthly Billing Statement shall not relieve or reduce Vernon’s other obligations under this Agreement.

Moneys received by or on behalf of SCPPA from the payment of Default Invoices shall be credited on each non-Defaulting SCPPA Participant’s next monthly Billing Statement or Billing Statements in an amount equal to the aggregate amount such non-Defaulting SCPPA Participant paid as a result of Step-Up Invoices with respect to such Default Invoice, plus a pro-rata share, based upon the Participant Facility Products Cost Shares of the non-Defaulting SCPPA Participants, of the amount SCPPA received regarding late payment interest charges. In the event a Defaulting SCPPA Participant pays less than the full amount of its Default Invoice, the credit to each non-Defaulting SCPPA Participant shall be adjusted in proportion to such non-Defaulting SCPPA Participant’s Facility Products Cost Shares.

11.11 Application of Moneys Received from Compliance Payments. Moneys received by or on behalf of SCPPA from a Defaulting SCPPA Participant that makes payments to remain in Compliance with respect to a Payment Default, associated with a Defaulting SCPPA Participant’s payments to remain in Compliance, shall be credited on each non-Defaulting SCPPA Participant’s next monthly Billing Statement(s) in an amount equal to the aggregate amount such non-Defaulting SCPPA Participant paid as a result of Step-Up Invoices with respect to such Compliance payment, plus a pro rata share, based upon the Participant Facility Products Cost Shares of the non-Defaulting SCPPA Participants, of the amount SCPPA received regarding late payment interest charges. 23 11.12 Application of Moneys Received from Sale of Facility Products.

11.12.1SCPPA shall credit on each non-Defaulting SCPPA Participant’s next monthly Billing Statement(s) an amount up to, but not in excess of, the aggregate amount paid to SCPPA by such non-Defaulting SCPPA Participant with respect to each such non-Defaulting SCPPA Participant’s Step-Up Invoices.

11.12.2Following consultation with the non-Defaulting SCPPA Participants, SCPPA shall determine the disposition of any moneys received that are in excess of the aggregate amount of related Step-Up Invoices paid by non-Defaulting SCPPA Participants. Unless the Coordinating Committee determines otherwise, or except as otherwise required by law, the Defaulting SCPPA Participant shall have no claim or right to any such monies.

11.13 PPA Damages. Vernon shall be responsible for Purchaser’s Participant Facility Products Share of all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages (whether direct, indirect or consequential), penalties, actions, loss of profits, judgments, orders, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever in law, equity or otherwise incurred or owed by SCPPA under the Power Purchase Agreement, including any Termination Payment incurred or owed by SCPPA to Power Purchase Provider thereunder.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE FACILITY
Section 3.1 General.
(a) Project Design. Seller shall determine the proposed location, design, and configuration of the Facility as it deems appropriate, subject to the Requirements, including the - 29 -
characteristics and other requirements for the Facility set forth in Appendix B-1, and also subject to any conditions imposed by the lead agency or any responsible agency as part of the CEQA review of the Facility and which Seller deems acceptable.
(b) Permitting. Seller, at its expense, shall timely take all steps necessary to obtain all Permits required to construct, maintain, and operate the Facility in accordance with the Requirements and for the performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder. (c) Meetings with Governmental Authorities. Seller shall represent the Facility as necessary in all meetings with and proceedings before all Governmental Authorities. (d) Construction. Seller shall use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to site, develop, finance and construct the Facility. Seller shall develop, operate and maintain the Facility, at its sole risk and expense, and in compliance with the Requirements and applicable manufacturer’s and operator’s specifications and recommended procedures; provided, however, meeting these requirements shall not relieve Seller of its other obligations under this Agreement.

Seller shall ensure that the construction of the Facility is governed by a project labor agreement, community workforce agreement, work site agreement, collective bargaining agreement, or any other similar agreements providing for the terms and conditions of employment with the applicable labor organizations.
(e) Other Information. In addition to the reports required to be delivered under this Agreement, including Section 3.5 and Section 5.6, Seller shall provide to Buyer such other information regarding the permitting, engineering, construction or operations, of Seller, its Subcontractors or the Facility, as Buyer or Buyer’s Authorized Representative may, from time to time, reasonably request. Buyer and Buyer’s Authorized Representative shall be permitted to inspect the Facility from time to time upon reasonable notice to Seller and during reasonable business hours subject to Site safety protocols and orientation as set forth in Section 5.2, but Buyer and Buyer’s Authorized Representative shall not interfere with the activities at the Facility and be escorted while on the Site by an employee or other representative of Seller. Without limiting Seller’s indemnification obligations in Section 14.19(a), the presence of Buyer, its representatives or both on the Site shall be at Buyer’s sole expense and risk. (f) Certification Regarding Debt. No less than thirty (30) days before the Construction Start Date, and no more than ninety (90) days after the Commercial Operation Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a certificate of Seller’s authorized officer, certifying that the amount of debt Seller has incurred, if any, for construction and permanent operations of the Facility, as applicable, considered in light of the types and amounts of other sources of capital used for the Facility, (i) is within reasonable and prudent market norms given the size, type, and commercial attributes of the Facility and (ii) poses no material risk to Seller’s liquidity or to Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under the Agreement.

Section 3.2 Site Confirmation. Seller represents and warrants that (a) Seller’s agents and representatives have visited, inspected and are familiar with the Site and its surface physical condition relevant to the obligations of Seller pursuant to this Agreement, including surface conditions, normal and usual soil conditions, roads, utilities, the presence, if any, of archaeological and cultural artifacts and topography, and solar radiation, air and water quality - 30 -
conditions, (b) Seller is familiar with all local and other conditions that may be material to Seller’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement (including, transportation, seasons and climate, access, weather, the presence, if any, of endangered species, handling and storage of materials and equipment, and availability and quality of labor and utilities), and (c) Seller has determined that the Site constitutes an acceptable and suitable site for the construction and operation of the Facility in accordance herewith. Any failure by Seller to take the actions described in this Section 3.2 shall not relieve Seller from any responsibility for estimating properly the difficulty and cost of successfully constructing, maintaining or operating the Facility in accordance with this Agreement or from proceeding to construct, maintain and operate the Facility successfully without any additional expense to Buyer. The foregoing shall not restrict Seller’s right to claim Force Majeure hereunder to the extent the requirements therefor are satisfied.

Section 3.3 Subcontracts.
(a) Seller shall not allow terms in any Subcontract that would interfere with Buyer’s rights of access, inspection and audit provided for in this Agreement. (b) Seller shall deliver to Buyer a schedule of the performance of initial performance tests and other tests required under each Subcontract for Seller to achieve Commercial Operation hereunder, which schedule may be updated by Seller (and provided to Buyer) from time to time as needed based on the progress of the work.

Section 3.4 Certification of Commercial Operation Dates. Not less than ninety (90) days prior to the date upon which Seller expects to achieve all of the conditions precedent to Commercial Operation as specified in Appendix L-2, Seller shall give written notice to Buyer of such expected date of Commercial Operation. Seller shall deliver written completion certifications to Buyer in the form of Appendix L-2; provided, however, that (a) Buyer shall not be obligated to accept a Commercial Operation Date that is earlier than the Expected Commercial Operation Date unless Seller has provided Buyer with three (3) months’ notice of a proposed earlier Expected Commercial Operation Date and (b) Commercial Operation is not achieved earlier than March 31, 2023. Within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of Seller’s initial certification, and thereafter within five (5) Business Days after Seller resubmits a certification, Buyer shall in writing either accept or reject the certification in its reasonable discretion. Any rejection of a certification shall specify in detail the specific substantive deficiencies upon which it is based. Seller shall have the right to contest a rejection of its initial certification by providing information or documentation demonstrating that no such deficiencies exist. Subject to Seller’s right to contest a rejection of the initial certification, Seller shall promptly correct any defects or deficiencies identified in a rejection and resubmit the certification within five (5) Business Days.

If, during the required time period, Buyer does not either accept or reject any certification, then for all purposes of this Agreement Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted such certification.

The Commercial Operation Date shall be the date on which Seller delivered the certification that is accepted or deemed accepted by Buyer as provided in this Section 3.4.

Section 3.5 Milestone Schedule; Delay Damages.
(a) Milestone Schedule, Reporting and Startup and Test Energy. - 31 -
(i) Attached as Appendix I is a milestone schedule with deadlines for the development of the Facility through the Commercial Operation Date (each milestone, a “Milestone” and each date by which a Milestone is to be completed, a “Milestone Date”).

Seller shall achieve each Key Milestone by the Milestone Date therefor and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve each other Milestone by the Milestone Date therefor.
(ii) Until the Commercial Operation Date, Seller shall provide Buyer with a report on a Monthly basis, except that Seller shall provide such report on a quarterly basis until construction of the Facility commences, that includes: (1) a description of the Site plan for the Facility, (2) a description of any planned changes to the Facility or Site plan since the previously delivered report, (3) a bar chart schedule showing progress to achieving the remaining Milestones with respect to the Facility, (4) a chart showing the critical path schedule of major items and activities, (5) a summary of activities at the Facility during the previous Month, (6) a forecast of activities during the then-current Month, (7) a list of any significant developments or delays or other issues that could impact Seller’s achievement of Milestones relating to the Facility by the applicable Milestone Dates, and (8) pictures, in sufficient quantity and of appropriate detail, documenting construction and startup progress with respect to the Facility. (iii) If Seller anticipates that it will not achieve a Milestone by the applicable Milestone Date (as such date may be extended pursuant to this Section 3.5), Seller shall promptly prepare and deliver to Buyer a remedial action plan (“Remedial Action Plan”), which shall set forth (1) the anticipated period of delay, (2) the basis for such delay, (3) an outline of the commercially reasonable steps that Seller is taking to address the delay and to ensure that future Milestones, including the Guaranteed Commercial Operation Date, will be timely achieved, (4) a proposed revised date for achievement of the applicable Milestone and (5) such other information and in such detail as may be reasonably requested by Buyer. Except as set forth in Section 3.5(b), Seller shall not have any liability for failure to timely achieve a Milestone other than the obligation to submit a Remedial Action Plan; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit Buyer’s right to exercise any right or remedy available under this Agreement or at law or in equity for any other Default occurring concurrently with or before or after Seller’s delay in achievement of the applicable Milestone.
(iv) Beginning no earlier than April 21, 2023, Seller shall have the right to sell and deliver, and Buyer shall purchase and accept from Seller, Startup and Test Energy at the rate for such Energy set forth in Appendix A-1, subject to Seller providing thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Buyer. Seller shall provide a schedule of its best projection for delivery of Startup and Test Energy with its notice, which schedule shall be subject to Buyer’s reasonable approval in all respects. Buyer may curtail Startup and Test Energy, as a non-compensable curtailment, if necessary in its reasonable judgment, subject to Section 7.4(b). For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall have the right, but shall have no obligation hereunder, to purchase Startup and Test Energy at any time before April 21, 2023.
(b) Delays; Delay Damages.
- 32 -
(i) Each Milestone Date (other than the Outside Commercial Operation Date) may be extended, on a day-for-day basis to the extent Seller is actually, demonstrably and unavoidably delayed in achieving such Milestone due to Force Majeure or an Interconnection Delay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Outside Commercial Operation Date shall not be extended for any reason whatsoever, including due to Force Majeure or any Interconnection Delay, and the failure to achieve the Commercial Operation Date by the Outside Commercial Operation Date shall be an immediate Default by Seller, not subject to extension or cure of any kind. (ii) If Seller fails to achieve any Key Milestone by the applicable Milestone Date (as such Milestone Date may be extended pursuant to Section 3.5(b)(i)), Seller shall pay liquidated damages to Buyer for each day between the Milestone Date and the date upon which such Key Milestone is achieved (or the Agreement is terminated by Buyer) in the applicable daily liquidated damage amount set forth for such Key Milestone in Appendix I (the “Daily Delay Damages”). For the avoidance of doubt, if multiple Key Milestones are missed, Seller shall pay Daily Delay Damages for each Key Milestone. If Seller fails to achieve the Construction Start Date by the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the Milestone Date for the Construction Start Milestone, Buyer shall have the right in its sole discretion and without penalty to (1) terminate this Agreement for a Default under Section 13.4, or (2) allow Seller to continue to pay the Daily Delay Damages to Buyer, during which time Buyer shall not terminate the Agreement based on Seller’s failure to timely achieve the Construction Start Milestone. Seller shall pay to Buyer Daily Delay Damages within seven (7) days after receipt of an invoice therefor from Buyer. If Seller achieves (A) the Construction Start Milestone before the date that is six (6) months prior to December 20, 2023 and (B) Commercial Operation by the Guaranteed Commercial Operation Date, then Buyer shall refund to Seller any amounts previously paid to Buyer as Daily Delay Damages for failure to achieve the Construction Start Milestone by the Milestone Date therefor net of any costs and expenses incurred, or damages sustained, by Buyer directly as a result of Seller’s failure to achieve the Construction Start Milestone. If Seller fails to achieve the Construction Start Milestone on or before the date that is six (6) months prior to December 20, 2023, Buyer shall be entitled to all Daily Delay Damages accruing as a result of Seller’s failure to achieve the Construction Start Milestone by the Milestone Date therefor even if Seller achieves Commercial Operation by the Guaranteed Commercial Operation Date. If Seller fails to achieve Commercial Operation by the Outside Commercial Operation Date, Buyer shall have the right in its sole discretion and without penalty to terminate this Agreement for a Default under Section 13.4. (iii) The Parties agree that the damages that Buyer would incur due to Seller’s failure to timely achieve a Key Milestone would be difficult or impossible to predict with certainty, and it is impractical or difficult to assess actual damages in those circumstances, but the Daily Delay Damages are a fair and reasonable calculation of such damages for Seller’s failure to achieve any Key Milestone by the Milestone Date therefor.

The payment of Daily Delay Damages as provided in this ARTICLE III are Buyer’s sole remedy for Seller’s failure to timely achieve a Key Milestone, but shall not limit Buyer’s right to (a) exercise any right or remedy available under this Agreement or at law or in equity for any other breach or default occurring concurrently with, before, or after Seller’s delay in achieving the applicable Key Milestone by the Milestone Date therefor, or (b) - 33 -
terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.4, provided that the payment of Daily Delay Damages shall be taken into account when determining any damages due Buyer for such termination; provided further that in no event shall any damages, including Daily Delay Damages, owed in connection with such termination exceed the limitation of liability provided in Section 14.19(e).

Section 3.6 Decommissioning and Other Costs. Buyer shall not be responsible for any cost of decommissioning or demolition of the Facility or any environmental or other liability associated with the decommissioning or demolition of the Facility without regard to the timing or cause of the decommissioning or demolition.

Section 3.7 CEC Certification. Seller shall provide Buyer with a copy of the CEC pre-certification of the PV System at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which Startup and Test Energy is first delivered to Buyer. Promptly, but in no event more than ten (10) days following the Commercial Operation Date, Seller shall file with the CEC all materials and documents required to demonstrate that the Facility is entitled to be CEC Certified. Seller shall promptly provide Buyer with copies of all submittals to the CEC and other correspondence between Seller and the CEC. Failure by Seller to comply with the requirements set forth in this Section 3.7 shall constitute a Default by Seller, subject to the cure periods set forth in Section 13.1(b).

ARTICLE IV

Other than auxiliary/parasitic load, Seller shall not dispatch or operate the BESS other than via the BESS Instructions. Seller shall implement safeguards, notices, and advance warning systems into the BESS to prohibit operation of the BESS outside of the limitations set forth in this Section 4.3. (b) Grid Charging. Seller shall design and construct the BESS as an integrated part of the PV System, and during the Recapture Period, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the BESS shall be charged exclusively using PV System Energy. After the end of the Recapture Period, in order to optimize the benefits of the Facility, Seller shall make reconfigurations of, or adjustments to, the Facility or interconnection facilities as necessary to allow for grid charging of the BESS at no additional cost and as soon as is reasonably practicable.

Section 4.4 Outages.
(a) Unless otherwise agreed, subject to compliance with Section 4.4(b), Seller shall be permitted to reduce deliveries of Product during any Scheduled Outage. To the extent notice is not already required under the terms hereof, Seller shall notify Buyer as soon as practicable of any extensions to any Scheduled Outage and expected end dates thereof. Between June 1st and September 30th, Seller shall not schedule non-emergency maintenance that reduces the PV System Energy or the BESS Contract Capacity of the BESS, unless (1) (i) such Scheduled Outage complies with the CAISO Tariff and all applicable rules and regulations of CAISO, (ii) is required to avoid damage to the Facility, (iii) such maintenance is necessary to maintain equipment warranties and cannot be scheduled outside the period of June 1st to September 30th, and (iv) such Scheduled Outage is required in accordance with Prudent Utility Practices, or (2) the Parties agree otherwise in writing.
- 35 -
(b) Buyer and Seller shall cooperate to minimize Scheduled Outages during specified periods of time during each calendar year in accordance with Prudent Utility Practices and this Section 4.4 (such periods, the “Major Maintenance Blockout”). No later than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the anticipated Commercial Operation Date and the commencement of each Contract Year thereafter, Buyer shall provide Seller with its specified Major Maintenance Blockout. In the absence of such updated notification, the most recent previous Major Maintenance Blockout notification shall apply. Seller shall attempt to minimize its Scheduled Outages during the Major Maintenance Blockout consistent with Prudent Utility Practices; provided that Seller shall be permitted to perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance on the Facility during Major Maintenance Blockouts during such hours when solar irradiance levels are insufficient to permit the production of Energy, if such maintenance is permitted under the CAISO Tariff and conducted in accordance with all applicable Requirements (including, for avoidance of doubt, the requirements of the Transmission Provider). In addition, no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated Commercial Operation Date, and for each calendar year thereafter, no later than the deadline for providing the CAISO with proposed maintenance outages for the following year as described in the CAISO Tariff, Seller shall provide the CAISO and Buyer with its non-binding written projection of all Scheduled Outages for the succeeding calendar year (the “Scheduled Outage Projection”) reflecting a minimized schedule of scheduled maintenance during the Major Maintenance Blockout.

In addition, Seller shall cooperate in good faith with maintenance scheduling requests by Buyer consistent with Prudent Utility Practices. The Scheduled Outage Projection shall include information concerning all projected Scheduled Outages during such period, including (A) the anticipated start and end dates of each Scheduled Outage; (B) a description of the maintenance or repair work to be performed during the Scheduled Outage; and (C) the anticipated MW of operational capacity of the PV System, the BESS and the Facility, if any, during the Scheduled Outage. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Buyer of any change in the Scheduled Outage Projection as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days prior to the newly scheduled date for the Scheduled Outage. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate reasonable requests of Buyer with respect to the timing of Scheduled Outages and shall, to the extent feasible and consistent with Prudent Utility Practices, (x) arrange for Scheduled Outages to occur between October 1 and May 1 of each year (or such other period as reasonably determined by Buyer from time to time) and coincident with planned transmission outages, but not to overlap with the Major Maintenance Blockout and (y) cause not more than fifty percent (50%) of the PV Contract Capacity to be unavailable during any Scheduled Outages. In the event of a System Emergency, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reschedule any Scheduled Outage previously scheduled so that it occurs during the System Emergency. (c) Seller shall report all outages, including all Forced Outages and Scheduled Outages, to CAISO in accordance with the CAISO Tariff and all applicable rules and regulations of CAISO. In addition, Seller shall notify Buyer immediately upon identification of a situation likely to result in a Forced Outage occurring within a twenty-four (24) hour period that is likely to cause or require removal of the PV System, the BESS or the Facility from service, or a reduction in the maximum output capability of the PV System, the BESS or the Facility by one (1) MW or more from the value most recently recorded in the Web Outage Management System for the CAISO. For all other Forced Outages, Seller shall provide Buyer with as much advance notice as practicably possible, but in all cases, shall notify Buyer and the CAISO within thirty (30) minutes after the commencement of the Forced Outage. Seller shall provide detailed information concerning each Forced Outage, including (i) the start and anticipated end dates of the Forced - 36 -
Outage; (ii) a description of the cause of the Forced Outage; (iii) a description of the maintenance or repair work to be performed during the Forced Outage; and (iv) the anticipated MW of operational capacity, if any, during the Forced Outage. Seller shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to avoid Forced Outages and to limit the duration and extent of any such outages. (d) In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 4.4(a), Section 4.4(b) and Section 4.4(c), the Parties shall cooperate to develop mutually acceptable procedures for addressing Scheduled Outages and any other outages arising in connection with the Facility. (e) In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions in this Section 4.4 and any applicable requirements of CAISO, such CAISO requirements shall govern.

Such replacement security shall meet the requirements of this Section 5.7. If the replacement Performance Security is not provided by Seller, Buyer shall have the right to demand payment of the full amount of the Performance Security, and Buyer shall retain such amount in order to secure Seller’s obligations under this Agreement; provided that if and to the extent such amount exceeds payment and performance in full of all of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, Buyer shall refund the excess to Seller promptly after all such obligations of Seller under this Agreement have been paid or performed in full.
(f) The Project Development Security shall remain in place from the date it is effective in accordance with clause (a) above until the Commercial Operation Date and the Delivery Term Security shall remain in place continuously for the entire Delivery Term (except, in each case, to the extent drawn upon as provided herein). If any Performance Security is in the form of a letter of credit expiring before the Commercial Operation Date (in the case of Project Development Security) or the end of the Delivery Term (in the case of Delivery Term Security), Seller shall cause - 40 -
their renewal or extension for additional consecutive terms of three hundred sixty (360) Days or more (or, if shorter, the remainder of the time such Performance Security must remain in place in accordance with the prior sentence) no later than thirty (30) Days prior to each expiration date of such letter(s) of credit and written proof of such renewal shall be provided to Buyer as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than fifteen (15) Days prior to the expiration of the same.

If any such letter of credit is not renewed or extended as required herein or does not constitute an Acceptable Form of Performance Assurance, Buyer shall have the right to draw immediately upon the entire amount of such letter of credit and to place the amounts so drawn which shall thereafter be treated by Buyer as Performance Security hereunder, at Seller’s cost and with Seller’s funds, in an account controlled by Buyer until and unless Seller provides a substitute Acceptable Form of Performance Assurance.
(g) Seller shall, from time to time as requested by Buyer’s Authorized Representative, execute, acknowledge, record, register, deliver and file all such notices, statements, instruments and other documents as may be necessary to render fully valid, perfected and enforceable under all Requirements of Law the Performance Security and the rights, Liens and priorities of Buyers with respect to such Performance Security. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, but subject to the cap in Section 14.19(e), the Performance Security:
(i) constitutes security for, but is not a limitation of, Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) shall not be Buyers’ exclusive remedy against Seller for Seller’s failure to perform in accordance with this Agreement.

Seller shall enable such forecasts to be prepared in accordance with mutually agreed upon communications protocols between Seller, Scheduling Coordinator and Buyer as they are implemented or upgraded from time to time in accordance with Prudent Utility Practices.
(g) Seller, the Scheduling Coordinator and Buyer shall mutually develop forecasting and Scheduling procedures in addition to those set forth in this Section 7.3, (“Scheduling Procedures”) that allow Buyer to control when it receives PV Delivered Energy and BESS Metered Output from the Facility and that are in compliance with all applicable Requirements and requirements of the Transmission Provider, CAISO, NERC, WECC, and any balancing authority involved in the Scheduling of Energy under this Agreement. Seller and the Scheduling Coordinator shall promptly cooperate with Buyer to make any reasonably necessary and appropriate modifications to the Scheduling Procedures as may be required or requested by Buyer from time to time.

Section 7.4 Curtailment.
(a) Seller shall reduce deliveries of Delivered Energy to the Point of Delivery immediately upon notice from the CAISO, a Transmission Provider, or any balancing authority or reliability entity during Curtailment Periods. Buyer shall be excused from receiving any PV Delivered Energy from Seller and shall not be obligated to pay Seller for the amount of reduced PV Delivered Energy arising during a curtailment under this Section 7.4(a). If required by Buyer, the CAISO, a Transmission Provider, or any balancing authority or reliability entity, Seller shall provide the capability to implement curtailments and adjust ramp rates, megawatt output, and (if applicable) megavar output in real-time by means of setpoints received from the SCADA system of Seller.
(b) In addition to the curtailments described in Section 7.4(a), Buyer may curtail deliveries of PV Delivered Energy (including for economic reasons, including bid offers into CAISO), at any time and for the duration specified by Buyer. Seller shall comply with such request in accordance with Prudent Utility Practices. Seller shall respond to Buyer curtailment notices (including the end of such curtailment periods) in accordance with Prudent Utility Practices. Buyer shall not unreasonably curtail Startup and Test Energy. Buyer shall pay Seller for any Deemed Generated Energy associated with a circumstance described in subpart (d) of the definition of Excused Conditions or a Compensable Curtailment in an amount equal to the applicable Contract Price; provided, however, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell PV System Energy (but not the Environmental Attributes or Capacity Rights associated therewith) equaling the amount of such Deemed Generated Energy associated with a Compensable Curtailment to third parties at a positive price to the extent permitted under the CAISO Tariff. To the extent any PV System Energy is sold to a third party under this Section 7.4(b), the obligation to pay the amounts set forth for a curtailment by Buyer under this Section 7.4(b) shall be reduced accordingly by an amount equal to the net proceeds Seller receives from such sales of PV System Energy (after subtracting any Scheduling fees, wheeling charges, and other associated costs, fees, and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such sales). All Environmental Attributes and Capacity Rights associated with such PV System Energy sold to third parties shall be delivered at no additional cost to Buyer.
- 45 -
(c) “Deemed Generated Energy” means the amount of energy, expressed in MWh, that the PV System would have produced and delivered to the Point of Delivery as PV Delivered Energy during any applicable Excused Condition, which amount shall be equal to (i) the amount of MWh that would have been delivered to the Point of Delivery provided for in the Variable Energy Resource Forecast applicable to the applicable Excused Condition period, regardless of whether Seller is participating in the EIRP during this period, less (ii) the amount of PV Delivered Energy delivered to the Point of Delivery during the applicable Excused Condition, if any, or, if there is no Variable Energy Resource Forecast available, (A) an amount of MWh calculated based on an equation that incorporates relevant Facility availability, weather and other pertinent data for the period of time during the applicable Excused Conditions in order to approximate the amount of PV Delivered Energy that would have been delivered, less (B) the amount of PV Delivered Energy delivered to the Point of Delivery during the applicable Excused Conditions, if any; provided that, if the applicable difference calculated pursuant to either of the formulas provided above is negative, the Deemed Generated Energy shall be zero (0). The equation in (A) and (B) shall be subject to reasonable review and approval by Buyer, which review shall not be unreasonably delayed.

Section 7.5 [Reserved].

Section 7.6 Title; Risk of Loss. As between the Parties, Seller shall be deemed to be in exclusive control (and responsible for any damages or injury caused thereby) of all Energy prior to and at the Point of Delivery and all Replacement Energy prior to and at the Point of Delivery thereof into the CAISO grid. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall not be deemed to be in control (and responsible for any damages or injury caused thereby) of Energy and any Replacement Energy from and after the Point of Delivery. Seller warrants that it will deliver all Energy, Replacement Product, Capacity Rights, and all of the associated Environmental Attributes to Buyer free and clear of all Liens created by any Person other than Buyer. Title to, and risk of loss for, all Energy and all of the associated Products shall pass from Seller to Buyer at the Point of Delivery; provided that title to, and risk of loss for, any Replacement Energy specified by Buyer to be delivered to a point or points of delivery other than the Point of Delivery shall pass from Seller to Buyer upon the delivery of such Replacement Energy to such point or points. Title to all of the associated Environmental Attributes and Capacity Rights shall pass from Seller to Buyer upon the creation thereof.

Section 7.7 RPS and EPS Compliance.
(a) Seller warrants and guarantees that from the time it receives notice from the CEC that the PV System is CEC Certified, and at all times thereafter until the expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement, the PV System (including the Energy and the associated Environmental Attributes) shall be RPS Compliant, CEC Compliant (including with regard to the PV System charging of the BESS) and EPS Compliant (“Compliant”). (b) If a Change in Law occurs after the Commercial Operation Date that (i) does not repeal the RPS Law or the EPS Law and (ii) causes the PV System to cease to be Compliant, then Seller shall (A) first, take all commercially reasonable efforts to bring the PV System into Compliance and (B) thereafter, take such actions as may be necessary to cause the PV System to remain Compliant; provided, that if, after a commercially reasonable period of time after such - 46 -
Change in Law, Seller reasonably determines that such efforts, together with any efforts to provide Buyer with any Product that was not in existence as of the Effective Date, are reasonably likely to require Seller to incur costs in excess of the Compliance Expenditure Cap, Seller shall provide Buyer with written notice containing a detailed description of prior compliance actions, the basis for Seller’s expectation that required compliance actions will exceed the Compliance Expenditure Cap, Seller’s projected overage (the “Excess Compliance Cost”) and Seller’s projected timeline for successfully completing such compliance actions.
(c) During any period in which the PV System is not Compliant, then Buyer shall pay Seller for PV Delivered Energy delivered during the period during which the PV System is not Compliant in an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the Pnode Price at the Point of Delivery (the “Replacement Price”). In no event shall the Replacement Price be more than the Contract Price. Payment for PV Delivered Energy at the Replacement Price shall continue until the PV System is brought back into Compliance or the Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section

7.7(d).
(d) If at any time after six (6) months of paying the Replacement Price, Buyer determines, in its reasonable discretion, that notwithstanding Seller’s commercially reasonable efforts, Seller will be unable to bring the PV System into Compliance, and neither Buyer nor Seller is willing to pay the Excess Compliance Cost, Buyer may elect, at its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, without liability to either Party, except for such liabilities that accrued prior to the date of termination or that otherwise survive termination in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) From time to time and at any time requested by Buyer or Buyer’s Authorized Representative, Seller will furnish to Buyer, Buyer’s Authorized Representative, Governmental Authorities, or other Persons designated by any Buyer, all certificates and other documentation reasonably requested by Buyer or Buyer’s Authorized Representative in order to demonstrate that the PV System, the PV System Energy, and the associated Environmental Attributes were or are Compliant.
(f) Seller’s Compliance Expenditure Cap shall be reduced by any amounts that have accrued toward Seller’s Compliance Expenditure Cap under any provision in this Agreement.

Section 7.8 Change in CAISO Tariff.
(a) If a change in the CAISO Tariff, including any change resulting from or relating to CAISO’s Hybrid Resources or Energy Storage and Distributed Energy Resources initiatives, requires any modifications to the Facility (i) to enable Seller to deliver, and Buyer to receive, Delivered Energy to and from the CAISO system, or (ii) to use the BESS and Capacity Rights, then Seller shall be solely responsible for bringing the Facility into compliance with the CAISO Tariff, as modified, in a manner that preserves Buyer’s economic benefits with respect to the Facility prior to any such change in the CAISO Tariff; provided that nothing in this Section 7.8 shall require Seller to expend funds that exceed the Compliance Expenditure Cap. It shall be a Default hereunder if Seller fails bring the Facility into compliance with such modified CAISO Tariff within ninety (90) days after such change; provided that no cure period provided under Section 13.1 shall apply with respect to any such Default after such ninety (90) day period has - 47 -
expired; provided further that, if Seller has reached the Compliance Expenditure Cap and Buyer has failed to approve Excess Compliance Costs, no such Default shall be deemed to have occurred. (b) If a change in the CAISO Tariff requires any modifications to the Facility to enable the Facility to qualify for any new product in the CAISO, then, at Buyer’s election, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith any necessary amendments to this Agreement to enable the Facility to meet the requirements for such new product; provided, that while the Parties may agree to amendments providing for cost allocation with respect to any necessary modifications to the Facility, including increased costs to either Buyer or Seller, such amendments will not increase the Contract Price or BESS Capacity Price or otherwise involve additional payment by Buyer for any new CAISO products themselves.

Section 7.9 Change in Market Structure. If a regionalization or other major change to the market structure of the Western Interconnection occurs during the Agreement Term (other than a Change in Law as addressed in Section 7.7 above), then the Parties agree to negotiate such modifications to this Agreement as may be necessary to enable the Parties to continue to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement, while preserving, to the maximum extent possible, the existing benefits, burdens and obligations set forth herein. Such negotiations shall commence promptly following the delivery by one Party to the other Party of a notice requesting negotiations pursuant to this Section 7.9.

ARTICLE IX

SHORTFALL ENERGY, AVAILABILITY, AND PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE

REQUIREMENTS
Section 9.1 Makeup of Shortfall. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each Contract Year and at the end of each Measurement Period, Seller shall provide Buyer with a calculation of PV Delivered Energy for such Contract Year and Measurement Period. If Seller fails during any Measurement Period to deliver the sum of PV Delivered Energy plus Deemed Generated Energy during such Measurement Period in an amount equal to the Guaranteed Delivered Energy for such Measurement Period, then Seller shall make up the shortfall of PV Delivered Energy (“Shortfall Energy”) in accordance with this ARTICLE IX.

Section 9.2 Replacement Product. During the Shortfall Makeup Period, the amount of Shortfall Energy shall first be reduced by the amount of any (a) PV Delivered Energy, including Excess Energy and Excess Energy > 120%, delivered during the applicable Shortfall Makeup Period in excess of the Guaranteed Delivered Energy and (b) Replacement Product delivered by Seller during the Shortfall Makeup Period. Such Replacement Product shall be delivered to the Point of Delivery or such other point of delivery as is mutually agreed upon by the Parties (which point of delivery shall be deemed the “Point of Delivery” for such Replacement Product and the other Scheduling and delivery provisions hereof) and on a delivery schedule mutually agreed to by Seller and Buyer, considering the as-available nature of the Product. Any additional costs or expenses associated with delivery of Replacement Product to a Point of Delivery designated under this Section 9.2 shall be borne by Seller. To the extent Seller is unable to deliver or provide sufficient PV Delivered Energy or Replacement Product in excess of the Guaranteed Delivered Energy to make up the remaining Shortfall Energy, then Seller shall, at the end of the Shortfall Makeup Period, pay Buyer damages in accordance with Section 9.3. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the last year of each RPS Compliance Period during the Delivery Term, Seller shall provide written notice to Buyer no later than six (6) months prior to the end of such RPS Compliance Period with Seller’s good faith determination of whether it anticipates being able to make-up any Shortfall Energy amount thenexisting during such RPS Compliance Period and to achieve the Guaranteed Delivered Energy (on a pro-rata basis) for such Contract Year. If at such time, Buyer reasonably determines that Seller will be unable to make-up the Shortfall Energy or achieve the Guaranteed Delivered Energy with delivery of PV Delivered Energy or Replacement Product, Buyer may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase Replacement Product to make up and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for its actual costs associated therewith. If at the end of each RPS Compliance Period during the Delivery Term there is any Shortfall Energy at such time, Seller shall pay Buyer damages in accordance with Section 9.3 for the then remaining amount of Shortfall Energy in the last calendar year of such RPS Compliance Period. For the purposes of this Section 9.2, any Deemed Generated Energy in excess of the Guaranteed Delivered Energy shall be counted toward the Shortfall Energy as if it had been delivered as PV Delivered Energy.

Section 9.3 Shortfall Damages. If Seller fails to make up the full amount of any Shortfall Energy (as such may be reduced by Buyer’s purchase, if any, of Replacement Product, by the end of the Shortfall Makeup Period (or the end of the RPS Compliance Period, as the case may be), Seller shall within sixty (60) days after the end of the applicable Shortfall Makeup Period (or the end of the RPS Compliance Period, as the case may be), pay Buyer - 50 -
damages, which damages shall be an amount, for each MWh of remaining Shortfall Energy, equal to the positive difference, if any, obtained by subtracting (a) the Contract Price that Buyer would have paid for such remaining Shortfall Energy had it been timely delivered, from (b) the sum of (1) the Market Price Index for such remaining Shortfall Energy and (2) the Green Value associated therewith. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not be obligated to procure Replacement Product in order to recover Shortfall Damages. In addition, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any and all amounts of reasonably documented penalties or fines incurred by Buyer as a result of Buyer’s noncompliance with EPS Law or RPS Law to the extent such non-compliance was caused by Seller’s failure to make up the full amount of any Shortfall Energy before the end of any RPS Compliance Period (“Shortfall Damages”). If Seller fails to pay Buyer the Shortfall Damages within sixty (60) days after the end of the Shortfall Makeup Period, Buyer shall have the right to immediately draw the applicable amount of Shortfall Damages owed to Buyer from the Delivery Term Security. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the damages that Buyer would incur due to the failure to deliver the Shortfall Energy would be difficult or impossible to predict with certainty, and it is impractical and difficult to assess actual damages in those circumstances and, therefore, the payment of Shortfall Damages is a fair and reasonable remedy for such damages. The provision of Shortfall Damages shall be in lieu of actual damages for the occurrence of any Shortfall Energy hereunder that is not cured with PV Delivered Energy and/or Replacement Energy and is Buyer’s sole remedy for Seller’s failure to deliver Shortfall Energy; however, the payment of Shortfall Damages shall not limit Buyer’s rights to exercise any right or remedy available under this Agreement or at law or in equity for any other breach or default occurring concurrently with, before, or after the failure to meet the Guaranteed Delivered Energy, including a Default under Section 13.1(l); provided that the payment of Shortfall Damages shall be taken into account when determining any damages due Buyer for such Default.

Section 9.4 Availability Requirement. Seller shall be responsible for all costs, charges, expenses, penalties, and obligations resulting from Availability Standards, if applicable, and Seller shall be entitled to retain all credits, payments, and revenues, if any, resulting from Seller achieving or exceeding Availability Standards, if applicable, other than the Capacity Rights.

Section 9.5 [Reserved].

Section 9.6 Performance Guarantees, Remedies and Termination Rights. (a) Throughout the Delivery Term, Seller warrants that (i) the BESS will perform at a rate that results in the Dischargeable Energy at any time equaling or exceeding the Guaranteed Dischargeable Energy, as illustrated in and calculated on an annual basis in accordance with Appendix K-1 (the “Dischargeable Energy Performance Guarantee”); (ii) the Round Trip Efficiency during each Contract Year, as calculated in accordance with Appendix K-1, will not fall below the amount specified in Appendix K-1 for such Contract Year (the “Round Trip Efficiency Performance Guarantee”); (iii) Monthly BESS Availability, as calculated in accordance with Appendix K-1, will be at least the percentage set forth in Appendix K-1 for each month (the “Monthly BESS Availability Guarantee”); (iv) the Annual PV System Availability during each Contract Year, as calculated in accordance with Appendix K-1, will equal or exceed the Annual PV System Availability Requirement for such Contract Year, as specified in Appendix K-1 (the “Annual PV System Availability Guarantee”); and (v) the BESS will charge and discharge from - 51 -
zero percent (0%) to one hundred percent (100%) without limitation, and the BESS Metered Output will not deviate from the automated dispatch system of the CAISO (the “ADS”). (b) In the event of a failure of the Dischargeable Energy Performance Guarantee, the Round Trip Efficiency Performance Guarantee, the Monthly BESS Availability Guarantee, or the Annual PV System Availability Guarantee, the BESS Capacity Price shall be reduced for each month that the applicable guarantee is not satisfied and continue until the first month that the applicable guarantee is satisfied. The resulting adjusted BESS Capacity Price for any non-compliant month (the “Adjusted BESS Capacity Price”) shall be determined as follows:
(i) In the event of a failure of the Dischargeable Energy Performance Guarantee, the Adjusted BESS Capacity Price shall be an amount equal to the product of (A) the BESS Capacity Price, multiplied by (B) the Dischargeable Energy Adjustment Factor calculated for such month in accordance with Appendix K-2. (ii) In the event of a failure of the Round Trip Efficiency Performance Guarantee, the Adjusted BESS Capacity Price shall be an amount equal to the product of (A) the BESS Capacity Price, multiplied by (B) the Round Trip Efficiency Adjustment Factor calculated for such month in accordance with Appendix K-2. (iii) In the event of a failure of the Monthly BESS Availability Guarantee, the Adjusted BESS Capacity Price shall be an amount equal to the product of (A) the BESS Capacity Price, multiplied by (B) a fraction where (I) the numerator is an amount equal to the actual Monthly BESS Availability for such month, calculated in accordance with Appendix K-1, and (II) the denominator is the percentage for Monthly BESS Availability Guarantee set forth in Appendix K-1.
(iv) In the event of a failure of the Annual PV System Availability Guarantee, the Adjusted BESS Capacity Price shall be an amount equal to the product of (A) the BESS Capacity Price, multiplied by (B) the Annual PV System Availability Adjustment Factor calculated for such Contract Year in accordance with Appendix K-2. (v) In the event of a failure of multiple guarantees addressed by this Section 9.6(b) in the same month, the Adjusted BESS Capacity Price for such month shall be an amount equal to the lowest Adjusted BESS Capacity Price resulting from application of the formulas set forth in the foregoing Section 9.6(b)(i)-(iv). (vi) Notwithstanding Section 9.6(b)(i)-(iv) and Section 9.6(c), in the event of a failure of either the Minimum Dischargeable Energy Performance Guarantee or the Minimum Round Trip Efficiency Performance Guarantee that, in either case, continues for a period of three (3) consecutive months following the last day of the first noncompliant month, the Adjusted BESS Capacity Price for each succeeding month shall be reduced to zero dollars ($0) until Seller has completed any necessary remedial measures to bring the BESS back into compliance with the applicable guarantee. (c) Notwithstanding Buyer’s recourse to the Adjusted BESS Capacity Price remedy, as described in Section 9.6(b), Seller shall be considered in Default under this Agreement:
- 52 -
(i) for failure of the Minimum Dischargeable Energy Performance Guarantee, if: (A) any such failure continues for a period of six (6) consecutive months following the last day of the first non-compliant month, or (B) the total number of noncompliant months for such guarantee is equal to twelve (12) or more at any time during the Delivery Term;
(ii) if BESS Metered Output deviates from the ADS and such failure continues for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days; or (iii) for failure of the Monthly BESS Availability Guarantee, if any such failure continues for a period of twelve (12) months following the last day of any noncompliant month.

Section 11.6 Records and Audits. Seller shall maintain, and the Authorized Auditors shall have access to, all records and data pertaining to the performance and management of this Agreement (including compliance with the Requirements) and related Subcontracts, and as necessary to properly reflect all costs claimed to have been incurred hereunder and thereunder, including (a) in their original form, all (i) documents provided to Seller in the ordinary course of business for the Facility, (ii) documents for billing, costs, metering, and Environmental Attributes, (iii) books, records, documents, reports, deliverables, employee time sheets, accounting procedures and practices, and (iv) records of financial transactions, and (b) other evidence, regardless of form (for example, machine readable media such as disk or tape, etc.) or type (for example, databases, applications software, database management software, or utilities).

If Seller is required to submit cost or pricing data in connection with this Agreement, Seller shall maintain all records and documents necessary to permit adequate evaluation of the cost or pricing data submitted, along with the computations and projections used. In the event of a Dispute, records that relate to the Agreement, Dispute, litigation or costs, or items to which an audit exception has been taken, shall be maintained. Buyer and the Authorized Auditors may discuss such records with Seller’s officers and independent public accountants (and by this provision Seller authorizes said accountants to discuss such billings and costs), all at such times and as often as may be reasonably requested. All such records shall be retained, and shall be subject to examination and audit by the Authorized Auditors, for a period of not less than four (4) years following final payment made by Buyer hereunder as it relates to a particular payment obligation, four (4) years after the expiration or termination date of this Agreement, or final settlement of all disputes, claims, or litigation that authorizes the records to no longer be retained, or the retention period under the Requirements of Law applicable to any Participating Members, - 56 -
whichever is later. Seller shall make said records or, to the extent accepted by the Authorized Auditors, photographs, micro-photographs, or other authentic reproductions thereof, available to the Authorized Auditors at Seller’s principal business office or any other of Seller’s offices as mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Seller, at all reasonable times and without charge. The Authorized Auditors may reproduce, photocopy, download, transcribe, and the like any such records.

Seller shall be subject at any time with fourteen (14) days prior written notice to audits or examinations by Authorized Auditors, relating to all billings and required to verify compliance with all Agreement requirements relative to practices, methods, procedures, performance, compensation, and documentation. Examinations and audits shall be performed using generally accepted auditing practices and principles and applicable governmental audit standards. All information provided by Seller or Seller’s Subcontractors pursuant to this Section 11.6 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 14.21. If Seller utilizes or is subject to Federal Acquisition Regulation, Part 30 and 31, et seq. accounting procedures, or a portion thereof, examinations and audits shall utilize such information. To the extent that an Authorized Auditor’s examination or audit reveals inaccurate, incomplete or non-current records, or records are unavailable, the records shall be considered defective. Consistent with standard auditing procedures, Seller shall be provided fifteen (15) days to review an Authorized Auditor’s examination results or audit and respond to Buyer prior to the examination’s or audit’s finalization and public release. If an Authorized Auditor’s examination or audit indicates Seller has been overpaid under a previous payment application, the identified overpayment amount shall be paid by Seller to Buyer within fifteen (15) days after notice to Seller of the identified overpayment. If an Authorized Auditor’s examination or audit reveals that Buyer’s overpayment to Seller is more than five percent (5.0%) of the billings reviewed, Seller shall pay all expenses and costs incurred by the Authorized Auditors arising out of or related to the examination or audit, which examination or audit expenses and costs shall be paid by Seller to Buyers within fifteen (15) days after notice to Seller.

Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to contractually require all Subcontractors performing services under this Agreement to comply with the provisions of this Section 11.6 by inserting this Section 11.6 into each Subcontract.

Section 11.7 Electric Metering Devices.
(a) The PV Delivered Energy made available to Buyer by Seller under this Agreement shall be measured using a CAISO-approved and CAISO-polled revenue-quality Electric Metering Device (in compliance with the CAISO Tariff and relevant protocols and is dedicated exclusively to the Facility) procured, installed, owned and maintained by Seller at the PV System and the Point of Delivery, and the BESS Metered Input and BESS Metered Output shall be measured using CAISO-approved and CAISO-polled revenue-quality Electric Metering Devices (in compliance with the CAISO Tariff and relevant protocols and dedicated exclusively to the Facility) procured, installed, owned and maintained by Seller at the BESS and the Point of Delivery, in each case, as depicted in the metering diagram attached to this Agreement as Appendix O. All such Electric Metering Devices used to provide data for the computation of payments shall be sealed and Seller shall only break the seal when such Electric Metering Devices are to be inspected and tested or adjusted in accordance with this Section 11.7. Seller shall arrange and bear all costs associated with the installation of the Electric Metering Devices needed for the registration, - 57 -
recording and transmission of information regarding the Delivered Energy. Seller hereby agrees to provide a mutually agreed set of meter data to Buyer, which data shall be accessible to, and usable by, Buyer. In addition to providing Buyer with its meter data, Seller shall support Buyer’s efforts to obtain read-only access to CAISO meter data applicable to the Facility and all inspection, testing and calibration data and reports from the CAISO. If the CAISO makes any adjustment to any CAISO meter data for a given time period, Seller agrees that it shall submit revised Monthly invoices, pursuant to this ARTICLE XI covering the entire applicable time period in order to fully conform such adjustments to the meter data. Seller shall submit any revised invoices no later than thirty (30) days after the date on which the CAISO provides Seller with binding adjustments to the meter data.
(b) Seller or its Authorized Representative, at no expense to Buyer, shall inspect and test all Electric Metering Devices upon installation and at least annually thereafter. Seller shall provide Buyer with reasonable advance notice of, and permit representatives of Buyer to witness and verify, such inspections and tests. Upon request by Buyer or Buyer’s Authorized Representative, Seller or its Authorized Representative shall perform additional inspections or tests of any Electric Metering Device and shall permit a qualified representative of Buyer to inspect or witness the testing of any Electric Metering Device. The actual expense of any such requested additional inspection or testing shall be borne by Seller. Seller shall provide copies of any inspection or testing reports to Buyer.
(c) If an Electric Metering Device fails to register, or if the measurement made by an Electric Metering Device is found upon testing to be inaccurate by more than plus or minus one percent (+/- 1.0%), an adjustment shall be made correcting all measurements made by the inaccurate or defective Electric Metering Device for both the amount of the inaccuracy and the period of the inaccuracy, such adjustment to be made by the Scheduling Coordinator. The adjustment period shall be determined as far as can be reasonably ascertained by Buyer or Buyer’s Authorized Representative from the best available data, subject to review and approval by Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). If the period of the inaccuracy cannot be ascertained reasonably, any such adjustment shall be for a period equal to one third of the time elapsed since the preceding test of the applicable Electric Metering Devices. To the extent that the adjustment period covers a period of deliveries for which payment has already been made by Buyer, Buyer shall use the corrected measurements as determined in accordance with this Section 11.7 to recompute the amount due for the period of the inaccuracy and shall subtract the previous payments by Buyer for this period from such recomputed amount. If the difference is a positive number, the difference shall be paid by Buyer to Seller; if the difference is a negative number, that difference shall be paid by Seller to Buyer, or at the direction of Buyer, may take the form of an offset to payments due to Seller from Buyer. Payment of such difference by the owing Party shall be made not later than thirty (30) days after the owing Party receives notice of the amount due, unless Buyer elects payment via an offset.
(d) Commencing on the first date on which Startup and Test Energy is produced by the Facility, and continuing throughout the Delivery Term, Seller shall provide to Buyer read only access to all Electric Metering Devices installed, owned and operated by Seller that are used to measure PV Delivered Energy, BESS Metered Input, and BESS Metered Output.

Section 11.8 Taxes. Seller shall be responsible for and shall pay, before the due - 58 -
dates therefor, any and all federal, state, and local Taxes incurred by it as a result of entering into this Agreement and all Taxes imposed or assessed with respect to the Facility, the Site or any other assets of Seller, the Products or the transaction arising before or at the Point of Delivery.

Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes on or with respect to the Products or the transaction from (but excluding) the Point of Delivery to such Buyer. If Seller is required by a Requirement of Law to remit or pay Taxes that are the responsibility of Buyer hereunder, Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller for such Taxes. If Buyer is required by Requirement of Law to remit or pay Taxes that are Seller’s responsibility hereunder, Buyer may deduct such amounts from payments to Seller hereunder; if Buyer elects not to deduct such amounts from Seller’s payments, Seller shall promptly reimburse Buyer for such amounts upon request. Nothing shall obligate or cause a Party to pay or be liable to pay any Taxes for which it is exempt under law. A Party that is exempt at any time and for any reason from one or more Taxes shall bear the risk that such exemption shall be lost or the benefit of such execution be reduced.

Section 13.4 Termination for Default.
- 65 -
(a) If a Default occurs, the Party that is not the Defaulting Party (the “NonDefaulting Party”) may, for so long as the Default is continuing and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, without limiting any other rights or remedies available to the Non-Defaulting Party under this Agreement, by notice by it (“Termination Notice”) to the Defaulting Party (i) establish a date (which shall be no earlier than the date of such notice and no later than twenty (20) days after the date of such notice) (“Early Termination Date”) on which this Agreement shall terminate, and (ii) withhold any payments due in respect of this Agreement; provided, upon the occurrence of any Default of the type described in Section 13.1(d), this Agreement shall automatically terminate, without notice or other action by either Party as if an Early Termination Date had been declared immediately prior to such event.
(b) If an Early Termination Date has been designated, the Non-Defaulting Party shall calculate in a commercially reasonable manner its Gains, Losses and Costs resulting from the termination of this Agreement and the resulting Termination Payment. The Gains, Losses and Costs relating to the Products that would have been required to be delivered under this Agreement had it not been terminated shall be determined by comparing the amounts Buyer would have paid for the Products under this Agreement to the equivalent quantities and relevant market prices, either quoted by one or more bona fide third party offers, or which are reasonably expected by the Non-Defaulting Party to be available in the market under a replacement contract for this Agreement covering the same products and having a term equal to the Remaining Term at the date of the Termination Notice, adjusted to account for differences in transmission, if any. To ascertain the market prices of a replacement contract, the Non-Defaulting Party may consider, among other valuations, quotations from dealers in Energy contracts and bona fide third party offers. The Non-Defaulting Party shall not be required to enter into any such replacement agreement in order to determine its Gains, Losses and Costs or the Termination Payment.
(c) For purposes of the Non-Defaulting Party’s determination of its Gains, Losses and Costs and the Termination Payment, it shall be assumed, regardless of the facts, that Seller would have sold, and Buyer would have purchased, each day during the Remaining Term (i) PV Delivered Energy in an amount equal to the Assumed Daily Deliveries, (ii) the Environmental Attributes associated therewith, (iii) all Capacity Rights and (iv) the full BESS Contract Capacity.

The “Assumed Daily Deliveries” shall be an amount equal to the greater of (A) the quotient of the Guaranteed Delivered Energy divided by three hundred sixty-five (365), and (B) the average daily amount of PV Delivered Energy during the Delivery Term, if any. (d) The Non-Defaulting Party shall notify the Defaulting Party of the Termination Payment, which notice shall include a written statement explaining in reasonable detail the calculation of such amount. If the Termination Payment is a positive number, the Defaulting Party shall, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice, pay the Termination Payment to the Non-Defaulting Party, together with interest accrued at the Interest Rate from the Early Termination Date until paid.
(e) If the Defaulting Party disagrees with the calculation of the Termination Payment and the Parties cannot otherwise resolve their differences, the calculation of the Termination Payment shall be submitted to the dispute resolution process provided in Section 14.3.

Following resolution of the dispute, the Defaulting Party shall pay the full amount of the Termination Payment (if any) as determined by such resolution as and when required, but no later - 66 -
than thirty (30) days following the date of such resolution, together with all interest, at the Interest Rate, that accrued from the Early Termination Date until the date the Termination Payment is paid. (f) For purposes of this Agreement:
(i) “Gains” means, with respect to a Party, an amount equal to the present value of the economic benefit (exclusive of Costs), if any, resulting from the termination of its obligations under this Agreement, determined in a commercially reasonable manner;
(ii) “Losses” means, with respect to a Party, an amount equal to the present value of the economic loss (exclusive of Costs), if any, resulting from the termination of its obligations under this Agreement, determined in a commercially reasonable manner;
(iii) “Costs” means, with respect to a Party, brokerage fees, commissions and other similar transaction costs and expenses reasonably incurred in terminating any arrangement pursuant to which it has hedged its obligations or in entering into new arrangements which replace this Agreement, excluding attorneys’ fees, if any, incurred in connection with enforcing its rights under this Agreement. Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate or eliminate its Costs.
(iv) In no event shall a Party’s Gains, Losses or Costs include any penalties or similar charges imposed by the Non-Defaulting Party. (v) The Present Value Rate shall be used as the discount rate in all present value calculations required to determine Gains, Losses and Costs. (g) At the time for payment of any amount due under this Section 13.4, each Party shall pay to the other Party, all additional amounts, if any, payable by it under this Agreement (including any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 13.4(a)).

The Dispute Notice shall include a schedule of the availability of the Notifying Party’s senior officers (having a title of senior vice president (or its equivalent) or higher) duly authorized to settle the Dispute during the thirty (30) day period following the delivery of the Dispute Notice.
(b) The Recipient Party shall, within five (5) Business Days following receipt of the Dispute Notice, provide to the Notifying Party a parallel schedule of availability of the Recipient Party’s senior officers (having a title of senior vice president (or its equivalent) or higher) duly authorized to settle the Dispute.

(c) In the event a Dispute is not resolved pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 14.3(a) and Section 14.3(b) by the expiration of the thirty (30) day period set forth in Section 14.3(a), then a Party may pursue any legal remedy available to it in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.12 and Section 14.13 of this Agreement. (d) In addition to the Dispute resolution process set forth in this Section 14.3, the Parties shall comply with California law governing claims against public entities and presentment of such claims.

Section 14.4 Further Assurances; Change in Electric Market Design. (a) Each Party agrees to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further actions not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement that may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the purposes and intent of this Agreement. (b) If a change in the CAISO Tariff renders this Agreement or any provisions hereof incapable of being performed or administered, then either Party may request that Buyer and Seller enter into negotiations to make the minimum changes to this Agreement necessary to make - 68 -
this Agreement capable of being performed and administered, while attempting to preserve to the maximum extent possible the benefits, burdens, and obligations set forth in this Agreement as of the Effective Date. Upon delivery of such a request, Buyer and Seller shall engage in such negotiations in good faith. If Buyer and Seller are unable, within sixty (60) days after delivery of such request, to agree upon changes to this Agreement or to resolve issues relating to changes to this Agreement, then either Party may submit issues pertaining to changes to this Agreement to the Dispute resolution process set forth in Section 14.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a change in cost shall not in and of itself be deemed to render this Agreement or any of the provisions hereof incapable of being performed or administered, or constitute, or form the basis of, a Force Majeure.

Section 14.5 No Dedication of Facilities. Any undertaking by one Party to the other Party under any provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute the dedication of the Facility or any portion thereof of either Party to the public or to the other Party or any other Person, and it is understood and agreed that any such undertaking by either Party shall cease upon the termination of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement.

Section 14.6 Force Majeure.
(a) A Party shall not be considered to be in default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement (other than the obligations of a Party to make payment of amounts due under this Agreement) when and to the extent such Party’s performance is prevented by a Force Majeure that, despite the exercise of due diligence, such Party is unable to prevent or mitigate, provided the Party has given a written detailed description of the full particulars of the Force Majeure to the other Party reasonably promptly after becoming aware thereof (and in any event within fourteen (14) days after the initial occurrence of the claimed Force Majeure event) (the “Force Majeure Notice”), which notice shall include information with respect to the nature, cause and date and time of commencement of such event, and the anticipated scope and duration of the delay. The Party providing such Force Majeure Notice shall be excused from fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement until such time as the Force Majeure has ceased to prevent performance or other remedial action is taken, at which time such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the resumption of its obligations under this Agreement. If Seller is unable to deliver, or Buyer is unable to receive, PV Delivered Energy due to a Force Majeure, then Buyer shall have no obligation to pay Seller for PV Delivered Energy not delivered or received by reason thereof. It is understood by the Parties that, subject to the provisions of Section 7.4, the foregoing provisions shall not excuse any obligation of Seller with respect to delivery of the Guaranteed Delivered Energy under ARTICLE VI, or Shortfall Energy (and Replacement Product, as applicable), or either Party’s obligation to make payments to one another up to the time that Seller ceases deliveries of PV Delivered Energy, arising prior to the occurrence of any Force Majeure event. In no event shall Buyer or Seller be obligated to compensate the other Party or any other Person for any losses, expenses or liabilities that the other Party or such other Person may sustain as a consequence of any Force Majeure.
(b) The term “Force Majeure” means any act of God (including fire, flood, earthquake, extremely severe storm, lightning strike, tornado, volcanic eruption, hurricane or other natural disaster), labor disturbance, strike or lockout of a national scope, epidemic or pandemic, act of the public enemy, war, insurrection, riot, explosion, terrorist activities or any order, regulation or restriction imposed by governmental, military or lawfully established civilian authorities, or - 69 -
other occurrence that (i) prevents one Party from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) could not reasonably be anticipated as of the date of this Agreement, (iii) is not within the reasonable control of, or the result of negligence, willful misconduct, breach of contract, intentional act or omission or wrongdoing on the part of the affected Party (or any subcontractor or Affiliate of that Party, or any Person under the control of that Party or any of its subcontractors or Affiliates, or any Person for whose acts such subcontractor or Affiliate is responsible), and (iv) by the exercise of due diligence the affected Party is unable to overcome or avoid or cause to be avoided; provided, nothing in clause (iv) above shall be construed so as to require a Party to accede or agree to any provision not satisfactory to it in order to settle and terminate a strike or labor dispute in which it may be involved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conditions existing as of the date of this Agreement due to the COVID-19 pandemic shall not be considered a Force Majeure, but any subsequent increase in government restrictions due to a worsening or resurgence of the COVID19 pandemic may be considered a Force Majeure. Any Party rendered unable to fulfill any of its obligations by reason of a Force Majeure shall exercise due diligence to remove such inability with reasonable dispatch within a reasonable time period and mitigate the effects of the Force Majeure.

The relief from performance shall be of no greater scope and of no longer duration than is required by the Force Majeure. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Force Majeure does not include any of the following (each an “Unexcused Cause”): (1) any requirement to comply with a RPS Law or any change (whether voluntary or mandatory) in any RPS Law, or other Change in Law, that may affect the value of the Products; (2) events arising from the failure by Seller to construct, operate or maintain the Facility in accordance with this Agreement except to the extent such event is caused by a Force Majeure; (3) any increase of any kind in any cost; (4) delays in or inability of a Party to obtain financing or other economic hardship of any kind; (5) Seller’s ability to enter into a contract to sell PV System Energy at a more favorable price or Buyer’s ability to purchase the Product or any part thereof at a price lower than that provided in this Agreement; (6) curtailment or other interruption of any Transmission Service except to the extent such interruption is caused by a Force Majeure; (7) failure of third parties to provide goods or services essential to a Party’s performance except to the extent such failure is caused by a Force Majeure; (8) Facility or equipment failure of any kind except to the extent such failure is caused by a Force Majeure; (9) any changes in the financial condition of Buyer, Seller, the Facility Lender or any subcontractor or supplier affecting the affected Party’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
(c) Buyer may terminate this Agreement if (i) a Force Majeure event occurs that diminishes the production of the PV System by more than fifty percent (50%) of the PV Contract Capacity or the capacity of the BESS by more than fifty percent (50%) of the BESS Contract Capacity for a period of eighteen (18) consecutive months, or (ii) the Facility is rendered inoperable and an independent engineer that is mutually acceptable to both Parties determines that the Facility cannot be repaired or replaced within a period not to exceed twenty-four (24) months following the date of the occurrence of the Force Majeure event. (d) Any termination of this Agreement under Section 14.6(c) shall be “no-fault” and neither Party shall have any liability or obligation to the other Party arising out of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any such termination, each Party shall pay the other Party for any and all amounts hereunder that may be owing, including Seller’s obligation to make payments to Buyer for any existing Shortfall Energy, or other outstanding payments due in the ordinary course that occurred prior to the termination. Buyer shall return to Seller the - 70 -
Performance Security (less any amounts drawn by Buyer in accordance with this Agreement). The exercise by Buyer of its right to terminate the Agreement shall not render Buyer or Seller liable for any losses or damages incurred by the other Party whatsoever.

Section 14.7 Assignment of Agreement.
(a) Buyer may from time to time and at any time assign any or all of its rights, and delegate any or all of its obligations, under this Agreement in whole or in part without the consent of Seller to a Qualified Buyer Assignee. Buyer shall provide Seller with thirty (30) days’ prior notice of any such assignment or delegation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any such assignment, such Qualified Buyer Assignee shall execute a written assumption agreement in favor of Seller pursuant to which any such Qualified Buyer Assignee shall assume all the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement, thereby relieving the assignor Buyer from its duties and obligations hereunder and thereunder.
(b) Except as set forth in this Section 14.7, Seller shall not assign any of its rights, or delegate any of its obligations, in or under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Buyer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed beyond the time period necessary for the internal review and approval process of Buyer. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this provision shall be null and void and of no force or effect.
(c) Seller may, without the prior written consent of Buyer, transfer or assign this Agreement if (A) the assignee is an Affiliate of Seller; (B) Seller has given Buyer notice at least fifteen (15) Business Days before the date of such proposed assignment; (C) Seller has provided Buyer a written agreement or certificate signed by the Affiliate to which Seller wishes to assign its interests that provides that such Affiliate will assume all of Seller’s obligations and liabilities under this Agreement upon such transfer or assignment; and (D) such transfer or assignment is not in violation of applicable law.
(d) Buyer’s consent shall not be required in connection with the collateral assignment or pledge of this Agreement for the sole purpose of financing this Facility to any Facility Lender or the assignment of this Agreement to a Tax Equity Investor in connection with a Tax Equity Financing; provided, however, that (1) in connection with any such assignment or pledge and the exercise of remedies by any Facility Lender, the Facility Lender acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the requirement that the Facility be operated and maintained by a Qualified Operator and (2) in the event of any foreclosure, whether judicial or nonjudicial, or any deed in lieu of foreclosure, in connection with any deed of trust, mortgage, or other similar Lien, Facility Lender shall be bound by the covenants and agreements of Seller in this Agreement. Seller shall provide Buyer with ninety (90) days’ prior notice of any such collateral assignment or pledge.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else expressed or implied herein to the contrary, Seller shall not assign, transfer, convey, encumber, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Products (not including the proceeds thereof) to any Facility Lender; provided that nothing herein shall limit Seller’s right to encumber revenues earned from the sale of all or any portion of the Products, including Replacement Product.
- 71 -
(e) Seller shall provide at least ninety (90) days’ written notice to Buyer prior to the occurrence of any (i) Change in Control pursuant to Section 14.7(f), (ii) any Tax Equity Financing or (iii) any proposed YieldCo Transfer. Concurrently with such notice, Seller shall provide Buyer with a then-current chart of the corporate organizational structure and ownership of Seller and a post-Change in Control, post-Tax Equity Financing or post YieldCo Transfer, as applicable, chart of the corporate organizational structure and ownership of Seller. In addition, following any permitted Change in Control, Seller and Buyer shall update the definition of Seller’s Ultimate Parent by updating Schedule 12.2(h) of this Agreement. (f) A Change in Control is permitted if (i) Buyer has given prior written consent to the transaction or transactions constituting the Change in Control, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (ii) concurrently with the transaction or transactions constituting the Change in Control, if there is a successor entity to Seller, such successor entity executes a written assumption agreement in favor of Buyer pursuant to which such successor entity shall assume all of the obligations of Seller under this Agreement, and agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In connection with any Change in Control in which Seller remains party to this Agreement, at Buyer’s request, Seller shall deliver an estoppel certificate to Buyer confirming that this Agreement remains in full force and effect. (g) Except for a sale or transfer of the Facility by a Facility Lender as contemplated by Section 14.7(h), Seller shall not sell or transfer the Facility to any Person other than a Person to whom Seller assigns this Agreement in accordance with this Section 14.7, without the prior written consent of Buyer, other than a Sale Leaseback Financing (for which notice is required), without the prior written consent of Buyer; provided, that any such sale or transfer shall be in compliance with the provisions of Section 12.5(d). Any purported sale or transfer in violation of this Section 14.7(g) shall be null and void and of no force or effect. A Change in Control shall not be deemed a sale or transfer of the Facility.
(h) In no event shall Buyer be liable to any Facility Lender for any claims, losses, expenses or damages whatsoever other than liability a Buyer may have to Seller under this Agreement. In the event of any foreclosure, whether judicial or nonjudicial, or any deed in lieu of foreclosure, in connection with any deed of trust, mortgage, or other similar Lien, Facility Lender shall be bound by the covenants and agreements of Seller in this Agreement; provided, however, that until the Person who acquires title to the Facility executes and delivers to Buyer a written assumption of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement in form and substance acceptable to Buyer, such Person shall not be entitled to any of the benefits of this Agreement. Any sale or transfer of all or any portion of the Facility by any Facility Lender in connection with any foreclosure, whether judicial or nonjudicial, or any deed in lieu of foreclosure, in connection with any deed of trust, mortgage or similar Lien on the Facility, shall be made only to an entity that is a Qualified Transferee.
(i) Seller shall reimburse, or shall cause the Facility Lender to reimburse, Buyer for the incremental direct expenses reasonably incurred and documented by Buyer in the preparation, negotiation, execution or delivery of the Consent and Agreement for the Facility Lender and any other documents requested by Seller, the Facility Lender, or any Tax Equity Investor and provided by Buyer, in connection with to this Section 14.7 or any Tax Equity Financing.

Section 14.15Effect of Section Headings. Section headings appearing in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be construed as interpretations of text.

Section 14.16Waiver; Available Remedies. The failure of either Party to this Agreement to enforce or insist upon compliance with or strict performance of any of the terms or conditions hereof, or to take advantage of any of its rights hereunder, shall not constitute a waiver or relinquishment of any such terms, conditions or rights, but the same shall be and remain at all times in full force and effect. Except to the extent this Agreement expressly provides an exclusive remedy for a breach, nothing contained herein shall preclude either Party from seeking and obtaining any available remedies hereunder, including recovery of damages caused by the breach of this Agreement and specific performance or injunctive relief, or any other remedy given under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing in law or equity or otherwise. Seller acknowledges that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for violations of this Agreement and that Buyer may, in its sole discretion seek and obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction specific performance or injunctive or such other relief as such court may deem just and proper to enforce this Agreement or to prevent any violation hereof.

Seller hereby waives any objection to specific performance or injunctive relief. The rights granted herein are cumulative.

Except as provided herein, this Agreement shall not be construed in any respect to be a contract in whole or in part for the benefit of any Person that is not a party hereto.

Section 14.19Indemnification; Damage or Destruction; Insurance; Condemnation; Limit of Liability.
(a) Indemnification. Seller undertakes and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, Participating Members, and all of their respective commissioners, officers, agents, employees, advisors, and Authorized Representatives and assigns and successors in interest (collectively, “Indemnitees”) and, at the option of Buyer, to defend such Indemnitees from and against any and all suits and causes of action (including proceedings before FERC), claims, charges, damages, demands, judgments, civil fines and penalties, other monetary remedies or losses of any kind or nature whatsoever, for death, bodily injury or personal injury to any person, including - 74 -
Seller’s employees and agents, or third persons, or damage or destruction to any property of either Party or third persons, in any manner arising by reason of any breach of this Agreement by Seller, any failure of a representation, warranty or guarantee of Seller hereunder to be true in all material respects, the negligent acts, errors, omissions or willful misconduct incident to the performance of this Agreement on the part of Seller, or any of the Seller’s officers, agents, employees, or subcontractors of any tier, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any such Indemnitee.
(b) Damage or Destruction. Subject to the provisions of Section 14.6, and to the consent of Facility Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld, in the event of any damage or destruction of the Facility or any part thereof, the Facility or such part thereof shall be diligently repaired, replaced or reconstructed by Seller so that the Facility or such part thereof shall be restored to substantially the same general condition and use as existed prior to such damage or destruction, unless a different condition or use is determined by Seller using its reasonable discretion taking into account the economics of repair, replacement, or reconstruction. Proceeds actually received of Insurance with respect to such damage or destruction maintained as provided in this Agreement shall be applied in Seller’s reasonable discretion, subject to the consent of the Facility Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld, to the payment for such repair, replacement or reconstruction of the damage or destruction.
(c) Insurance. Seller shall obtain and maintain the Insurance coverages listed in Appendix F.
(d) [Reserved].
(e) Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT INCLUDED IN

THE DAILY DELAY DAMAGES OR OTHER LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVIDED

HEREIN, INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS RELATED TO THIRD PARTY CLAIMS, OR

OTHER SPECIFIC CHARGES EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR HEREIN, IN NO EVENT

SHALL EITHER PARTY OR, IN THE CASE OF BUYER, ITS INDEMNITEES, BE LIABLE

FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR

CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR OTHER COSTS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION DAMAGES RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF A PARTY’S

PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED ON OR CLAIMED UNDER STATUTE, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING SUCH PARTY’S OWN NEGLIGENCE) OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY AT LAW OR IN EQUITY.

IT IS THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES THAT THE LIMITATIONS HEREIN IMPOSED ON

REMEDIES AND THE MEASURE OF DAMAGES BE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CAUSE

OR CAUSES OF SUCH DAMAGES, INCLUDING THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY PARTY,

WHETHER SUCH NEGLIGENCE BE SOLE, JOINT, CONTRIBUTORY, CONCURRENT, OR ACTIVE OR PASSIVE. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO CONTEST SUCH PAYMENTS AS AN UNREASONABLE PENALTY. In no event shall Seller be liable to Buyer for any Losses and Costs (including any liquidated damages) that are in the aggregate in excess of Nine Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($9,800,000) during the period from the date of execution of this Agreement until the Commercial Operation Date; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply to any Losses and Costs arising out of (i) Seller’s obligations under this Agreement to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer for death, bodily injury, or personal injury to any - 75 -
person or damage or destruction to any property or (ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates or subcontractors. (f) To the extent any damages required to be paid hereunder are liquidated, the Parties acknowledge that the damages are difficult or impossible to determine, and that the liquidated damages constitute a reasonable approximation of the anticipated harm or loss.

Section 14.20Severability. In the event any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, or the application of any such terms, covenants or conditions, shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction, all other terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement and their application not adversely affected thereby shall remain in force and effect, provided that the remaining valid and enforceable provisions materially retain the essence of the Parties’ original bargain.

Section 14.21Confidentiality.
(a) Each Party agrees, and shall use reasonable efforts to cause its parent, subsidiary and Affiliates, and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents, as a condition to receiving confidential information hereunder, to keep confidential, except as required by applicable laws: (i) all documents, data, drawings, studies, projections, plans and other written information that relate to economic benefits to, or amounts payable by, either Party under this Agreement, and (ii) documents that are clearly marked “Confidential” at the time a Party shares such information with the other Party (clauses (i) and (ii) above, the “Confidential Information”). The provisions of this Section 14.21 shall survive and shall continue to be binding upon the Parties for a period of one (1) year following the date of termination or expiration of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, information shall not be considered Confidential Information which (A) is disclosed with the prior written consent of the originating Party, (B) was in the public domain prior to disclosure or is or becomes publicly known or available other than through the action of the receiving Party in violation of this Agreement, (C) was lawfully in a Party’s possession or acquired by a Party outside of this Agreement, which acquisition was not known by the receiving Party to be in breach of any confidentiality obligation, or (D) is developed independently by a Party based solely on information that is not considered confidential under this Agreement.
(b) Either Party may, without violating this Section 14.21, disclose matters that are made confidential by this Agreement:
(i) to its counsel, accountants, auditors, advisors, other professional consultants, credit rating agencies, actual or prospective, co-owners, investors, purchasers, lenders, underwriters, contractors, suppliers, and others involved in construction, operation, and financing transactions and arrangements for a Party or its subsidiaries or Affiliates;
(ii) to Governmental Authorities and parties involved in any proceeding in which either Party is seeking a Permit, certificate, or other regulatory approval or order necessary or appropriate to carry out this Agreement;
- 76 -
(iii) to Governmental Authorities or the public as required by any law, regulation, order, rule, ruling or other Requirement of Law, including oral questions, discovery requests, subpoenas, civil investigations or similar processes and laws or regulations requiring disclosure of financial information, information material to financial matters, and filing of financial reports;
(iv) to WREGIS in accordance with WREGIS Operating Rules; and (v) with respect to Buyer, to any of its respective members from time to time.
(c) If a Party is requested or required, pursuant to any applicable law, regulation, order, rule, ruling or other Requirement of Law, discovery request, subpoena, civil investigation or similar process to disclose any of the Confidential Information, such Party shall provide prompt written notice to the other Party of such request or requirement so that at such other Party’s expense, such other Party can seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy concerning such disclosure.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, Buyer may record, register, deliver and file all such notices, statements, instruments and other documents as may be necessary or advisable to render fully valid, perfected and enforceable under all applicable law the credit support contemplated by this Agreement, including the Project Development Security, and the Delivery Term Security, and the rights, Liens and priorities of Buyer with respect to such credit support.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, Seller acknowledges that Buyer is subject to disclosure as required by the California Public Records Act, Cal. Govt. Code §§ 6250 et seq. (“CPRA”) and the Ralph M. Brown Act, Cal. Govt. Code §§ 54950 et seq. (“Brown Act”). Confidential Information of Seller provided to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement will become the property of Buyer, and Seller acknowledges that Buyer shall not be in breach of this Agreement or have any liability whatsoever under this Agreement or otherwise for any claims or causes of action whatsoever resulting from or arising out of Buyer copying or releasing to a third party any Confidential Information of Seller pursuant to CPRA or Brown Act. (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, Buyer may record, register, deliver and file all such notices, statements, instruments and other documents as may be necessary or advisable to render fully valid, perfected and enforceable under all applicable law the credit support contemplated by this Agreement, and the rights, Liens and priorities of Buyer with respect to such credit support. (g) If Buyer receives a CPRA request for Confidential Information of Seller, and Buyer or Buyer’s Authorized Representative determines that such Confidential Information is subject to disclosure under CPRA, then Buyer shall notify Seller of the request and its intent to disclose the documents. Buyer will comply with the disclosure requirements of the CPRA, including with respect to the release of documents unless Seller timely obtains a court order prohibiting such release. If Seller, at its sole expense, chooses to seek a court order prohibiting the release of Confidential Information pursuant to a CPRA request, then Seller undertakes and agrees - 77 -
to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and the Indemnitees from and against all suits, claims, and causes of action brought against Buyer or any Indemnitees for Buyer’s refusal to disclose Confidential Information of Seller to any person making a request pursuant to CPRA.

Seller’s indemnity obligations shall include, but are not limited to, all actual costs incurred by Buyer and any Indemnitees, and specifically including costs of experts and consultants, as well as all damages or liability of any nature whatsoever arising out of any suits, claims, and causes of action brought against Buyer or any Indemnitees, through and including any appellate proceedings.

Seller’s obligations to Buyer and all Indemnitees under this indemnification provision shall be due and payable on a Monthly, on-going basis within thirty (30) days after each submission to Seller of Buyer’s invoices for all fees and costs incurred by Buyer and all Indemnitees, as well as all damages or liability of any nature.
(h) Each Party acknowledges that any disclosure or misappropriation of Confidential Information by such Party in violation of this Agreement could cause the other Party or their Affiliates irreparable harm, the amount of which may be extremely difficult to estimate, thus making any remedy at law or in damages inadequate. Therefore each Party agrees that the non-breaching Party shall have the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for a restraining order or an injunction restraining or enjoining any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement and for any other equitable relief that such non-breaching Party deems appropriate. This right shall be in addition to any other remedy available to the Parties in law or equity.

Section 14.22Mobile-Sierra. The Parties hereby stipulate and agree that this Agreement was entered into as a result of arm’s-length negotiations between the Parties. Further, the Parties believe that, to the extent the sale of Energy under this Agreement is subject to Sections 205 and 206 of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. Sections 824d and 824e, the rates, terms and conditions of this Agreement are just and reasonable within the meanings of Sections 205 and 206 of the Federal Power Act, and that the rates, terms and conditions of this Agreement will remain so during the Agreement Term. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the Parties waive all rights to challenge the validity of this Agreement or whether it is just and reasonable for and with respect to the Agreement Term, under Sections 205 and 206 of the Federal Power Act, and to request the FERC to revise the terms and conditions and the rates or services specified in this Agreement, and hereby agree not to seek, nor support any third party in seeking, to prospectively or retroactively revise the rates, terms or conditions of this Agreement through application or complaint to FERC or any other state or federal agency, board, court or tribunal, related in any manner as to whether such rates, terms or conditions are just and reasonable or in the public interest under the Federal Power Act, absent prior written agreement of the Parties. The Parties also agree that, absent prior agreement in writing by the Parties to a proposed change, the standard of review for changes to any rate, charge, classification, term or condition of this Agreement, whether proposed by a Party (to the extent that any provision of this Section is unenforceable or ineffective as to such Party), a non-party or the FERC acting sua sponte shall be the “public interest” application of the “just and reasonable” standard of review that requires FERC to find an “unequivocal public necessity” or “extraordinary circumstances where the public will be severely harmed” to modify a contract, as set forth in United Gas Pipe Line Co. v. Mobile Gas Service Corp., 350 U.S. 332 (1956) and Federal Power Commission v.

Sierra Pacific Power Co., 350 U.S. 348 (1956), and clarified by Morgan Stanley Capital Group, Inc. v. Public Util. Dist. No. 1 of Snohomish, 554 U.S. 527 at 550-51 (2008) and NRG Power Marketing, LLC v. Maine Public Utilities Comm’n, 558 U.S. 165 (2010). - 78 -
Section 14.23Future Phases. In the event that, after the Commercial Operation Date of the Facility, Seller or Affiliates of Seller develop additional phases of the Facility or additional projects that (i) share real estate or infrastructure with the Site and (ii) that interconnect through the Point of Interconnection, then Seller shall offer to Buyer a power purchase agreement and a purchase option for such additional phase or project. Buyer and Seller shall have ninety (90) days in which to negotiate diligently in good faith on the terms of an exclusivity agreement with respect to the purchase of energy from such additional phase or project. If Buyer and Seller cannot mutually agree on the terms of such exclusivity agreement after good faith diligent negotiation for a period of ninety (90) days, then Seller may sell the energy from such additional phase or project to a third party; provided that Seller may not offer terms with respect to such third party which are more favorable than the terms offered to Buyer. If Buyer and Seller mutually agree on the terms of an exclusivity agreement for the purchase of energy from such additional phase or project, then, for the period of time specified in the exclusivity period, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate diligently in good faith to reach agreement on the terms of a power purchase agreement and a purchase option with respect to such additional phase or project. If Buyer and Seller cannot mutually agree on terms of a power purchase agreement and a purchase option with respect to such additional phase or project after good faith diligent negotiation for the period of time specified in such exclusivity agreement, then Seller may sell the energy from such additional phase or project to a third party; provided that Seller may not offer terms with respect to the purchase of energy from such additional phase or project to such third party which are more favorable than the terms offered to Buyer.

Section 14.24Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). Seller declares that its authorized TIN is 36-4840280. No payment will be made under this Agreement without a valid TIN.

Section 14.25Service Contract. The Parties intend that this Agreement will qualify as a “service contract” as such term is used in Section 7701(e) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

Section 14.26Dodd-Frank Wall-Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

If and to the extent that this Agreement and the performance of the Parties’ obligations requires any reporting to the Commodity Futures Exchange Commission (together with any successor body, the “CFTC”) pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Seller shall be responsible for all such reporting (and Seller shall bear all costs and expenses associated therewith) and shall be the reporting counterparty for purposes of applicable parts of the regulations of the CFTC promulgated under the Commodity Exchange Act. Buyer shall promptly provide information reasonably required by Seller for any such reporting and Seller shall be entitled to report and disclose information concerning all swaps transacted under this Agreement (including information regarding the economic terms and valuations of this Agreement) to any applicable Governmental Authority (or a third party swap data repository as required by a Governmental Authority), from time to time, to the extent required by any applicable laws, regulations, rules or orders of any Governmental Authority. Additionally, to the extent either Party needs additional information or details from the other Party in order to comply with any such applicable laws, regulations, rules or orders (including information concerning such other Party’s organization, corporate status, status under the CFTC’s regulations and/or unique entity identifier), such other Party shall promptly provide such additional information or - 79 -
details to the first Party upon request therefor. Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller for any costs, fines or penalties Seller incurs as a result of Buyer’s failure to comply with this Section

14.26. Seller shall promptly reimburse Buyer for any costs Buyer incurs as a result of Seller’s failure to comply with this Section 14.26 and the Commodity Exchange Act, except to the extent such costs are a result of any action or omission of Buyer.

Appendix G - 1

APPENDIX G
TO

POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT,
DATED AS OF [_], 2022

BETWEEN

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PUBLIC POWER AUTHORITY
AND
DAGGETT SOLAR POWER 2 LLC

QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM
Seller shall implement a Quality Assurance (“Q/A”) Program to ensure that the performance of the Facility fulfills the Requirements. The Q/A Program shall provide assurance that the Facility will comply with the Requirements and the manufacturers’ or suppliers’ requirements for successful operation of the Facility.

Quality at Seller
Seller believes that quality is the unit of measure for assessing fulfillment of project goals. A quality project meets or exceeds the contract requirements and accepted standards of professional and industry practice. Furthermore, high quality projects are those that address client and societal needs more successfully than “low” quality projects. While this may seem like a straightforward definition, the process to ensure quality is much more involved and includes quality management, quality planning, quality control, quality assurance, a quality system, and total quality management.
“Quality assurance” refers to a process that reduces the potential for error throughout the phases of a project. On projects with a Q/A Program, the chances of producing a poor quality deliverable are substantially reduced. Quality control procedures are an integral part of quality assurance.

Historically, industry has used the term “quality control” to indicate a checking procedure for verifying the quality of deliverables. This checking commonly occurs at the end of the process, long after an error may have been made and compounded by subsequent work. While quality control checks at the end of a project are an essential exercise, scheduled periodic reviews at each phase of project conceptual and final design are integral to the Seller’s Q/A Program. In addition, quality maintenance which meets or exceeds manufacturers’ or suppliers’ requirements and best industry practices must be an integral part of Seller’s Q/A Program.

The Quality Management Process
The surest way to achieve satisfactory quality is to adhere to a proven quality process. The term “quality” most accurately refers to a project’s ability to satisfy needs when considered as a whole and each part of the process meets or exceeds the standards of Prudent Utility Practices.

Seller’s project management team is responsible for proactively planning and directing the quality of the work process, services, and deliverables. Seller’s project management team targets the following areas to monitor quality:

Appendix G - 2
1) A written Quality Plan.
2) Independent engineering review of the entire project process, from design review through Commercial Operation.
3) A written maintenance manual for the Facility for the duration of the commercial operation that complies with the maintenance manuals of the manufacturers and suppliers from whom Seller has purchased equipment and/or material and best industry practices.

Quality Plan
The idea of a Quality Plan is to incorporate quality assurance in all areas of project execution.

Seller has found that quality needs to be institutionalized into the project process, not only in the budgeting process, but everywhere. For example, specific tasks and duties need to be allocated to specific individuals; roles and interface points need to be clearly defined; individual assignments need to be realistic; special attention needs to be paid to complex areas within projects; schedules need to be realistic and achievable; and lastly the work culture needs to be enjoyable and open so that employees are empowered to react quickly to symptoms of quality problems before they actually manifest.

The Seller’s quality program shall be documented in a Quality Plan (the “Quality Plan”). The form and the format of the Quality Plan shall be developed by Seller, but must comply with Prudent Utility Practices and follow manufacturers’ and suppliers’ recommendations without deviation.

The content of the Quality Plan shall provide written descriptions of policies, procedures and methodology to accomplish a quality project. Seller shall submit three (3) copies of the Quality Plan within ninety (90) days after the Effective Date to Buyer or Buyer’s Authorized Representative. The Quality Plan shall be kept current by Seller throughout the term of this Agreement through the submittal of revisions, as appropriate, by Seller to Buyer or Buyer’s Authorized Representative.

The Quality Plan shall describe the authority and the responsibility of the Persons in charge of the Q/A Program and inspection activities. Furthermore, it shall provide the plan and strategy for quality control and review during the construction period. The Quality Plan shall strive, at a minimum, to define control procedures or methods to assure the following:
(a) The design documents, drawings, specifications, Q/A procedures, records, inspection procedures and purchase documents are maintained to be current, accurate and in compliance with all applicable law.
(b) The purchased materials, equipment and services comply with the Requirements. (c) The materials received at the site are inspected for compliance with specifications. (d) The subcontracted work is adequately inspected by third parties as necessary. (e) Proper methods are employed for the qualification of personnel who are performing work for the construction of the Facility.

Appendix G - 3
(f) Proper documentation, control and disposition of nonconforming equipment and materials is maintained.
(g) Proper records are kept and available following project completion to ensure accurate documentation of as-built conditions.
(h) Detailed and complete plan for maintenance and operation during commercial operations consistent with manufacturers’ and suppliers’ recommendations and best industry practices.

Conceptual Design Review
Seller has a team of professionals who develop and review conceptual design. The team consists of specialists in land-use and planning, permitting, meteorology, engineering, construction, project management, and finance. A preliminary site plan is developed in order to assess the solar resource, project constructability, site access, cultural and biological impact, land use restrictions, and landowner requirements. At this stage, the site plan is reviewed, modified as necessary, and used to begin the permitting and public review process. The site plan may be further modified based on comments received during the permitting and public review process. Subsequent to this phase, final third party engineering will commence.

Final Engineering Design
Third party engineering firms, licensed to practice in the state in which the project is to be constructed, will commence the detailed design necessary for the permitting and construction of the Facility. Seller and a third party independent engineer will review the final work products to ensure conformance with this Agreement. When Seller and third party independent engineer have completed a review process, and all substantial comments have been addressed, the design is considered final.

Quality Assurance at the Construction Site
Seller will employ a contractor to construct the project. The contractor will be required to have a quality assurance program implemented by its own staff, and utilizing third party inspectors as necessary. The primary areas of focus are assuring conformance of construction to design drawings, conformance of materials to specifications, and to ensure prudent industry standards and best practices are being utilized. The contractor will be required to provide third party inspection and testing as necessary. The contractor will also be required to maintain a set of drawings during the course of construction, which will be used to document any changes to the design documents.

Proposed project changes would be reviewed and approved in the field by Seller's construction management team prior to implementation.

The contractor will provide the required oversight and training of its installation crew to ensure the construction of the Facility meets its quality guidelines. As necessary, equipment suppliers may have technical advisors on site to inspect, advise, and sign off on installation means and methods. In addition, Seller will have its own construction management team on site consisting of a construction manager and quality inspectors who will observe performance of all areas of the work and ensure compliance with design documents and Q/A procedures. The contractor and

Appendix G - 4
appropriate equipment suppliers will commission the Facility per prudent industry standards, equipment specifications, and utility requirements. Prior to construction completion, a punchlist will be developed by the contractor, Seller, Seller's representatives, and third party independent engineer. This punchlist is maintained by the contractor, and is signed off by Seller upon completion of all punchlist items. Lastly, the independent engineer may perform periodic audits during construction to oversee critical items, confirm construction progress, and provide independent reporting and assessments to the project stakeholders.

Following completion of the project, the contractor will be required to provide to Seller as-built design drawings, record of all testing documentation, and final permit approvals. This documentation will be maintained at the project site during operations of the Facility.

Quality Assurance During Commercial Operations
Seller shall supply a Quality Assurance Plan for Buyer’s review no less than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated Commercial Operation Date. Upon receipt of Quality Assurance Plan, Buyer shall provide written comment within ten (10) Business Days. Seller shall reasonably address substantial comments.

PROJECT NAME:

PROJECT MANAGER: DATE:

QUALITY MANAGEMENT APPROACH:

The Project Management Team is fully committed through all Project engineering, construction and commissioning phases, to the Quality Management System. The focus is on the project’s deliverable and the standards and criteria being used will ensure the project meets established quality standards and stakeholder satisfaction. The project team will work with the EPC’s Quality Group to define and document all organizational and project specific quality standards for the project. All quality documentation will become part of the Project Plan and will be transitioned to O&M upon the completion of the project.

QUALITY REQUIREMENTS/STANDARDS:
x To ensure those human resources working on the Project are suitably qualified, given clear definition of their working responsibilities and provided with the necessary work instructions and procedures. To identify any specific training needs where necessary to project resources; x To ensure that all Contractor, Sub-contractor and Vendor designs of manufactured items or components and respective services comply with the same quality policy and objectives set out in the Site Quality Management Plan;
x To establish and maintain systems in place for preventive action and continual improvement, such as checking, reviewing and auditing of activities to ensure that specified requirements are met both during and after installation. Particular attention shall be given to system interfaces and areas that will be subject to difficult, complex and program sensitive from the point of rectification, to minimize cost and schedule effect should a quality problem evolve; x To establish, document, implement and maintain an effective and efficient Project Quality Management System with a focus on prevention rather than cure; x To ensure that actions are taken without undue delay to eliminate detected nonconformities and their causes;
x To continually improve the effectiveness of the Project Quality Management System through the use of the project quality policy, quality objectives, audit results, analysis of data, corrective and preventive action and management review to ensure "getting it right first time, every time"; To comply with the respective legislative requirements, codes, standards and specifications.

Appendix G - 6
QUALITY ASSURANCE: The Project Manager will schedule regularly occurring process, management, and document reviews. In these reviews, an agenda item will include a review of project processes, any discrepancies and/or audit findings from the quality manager, and a discussion on process improvement initiatives. Quality assurance reviews, findings, and assessments will result in some form of process improvement and, as a result, project improvement. All process improvement efforts will be documented, implemented, and communicated to stakeholders as changes are made. Project Sheet Set drawings including the detailed Field Assembly instructions shall be studied by foreman and workers alike in an effort to ensure complete understanding of both the specifications and work practices needed to comply prior to first article installation. The craft foreman holds the responsibility for first article inspections and release of workers under his/ her supervision to continue and ensure subsequent units are completed to specification. After release the craft foreman shall perform periodic inspections through walk downs to ensure units remain installed to spec and sequence, and shall repeat training where necessary upon observation of deviations. The quality assurance process provides a project commitment to a world class performance in Quality issues to all personnel, contractors, vendors and sites involved in project.

Determination of policy compliance shall be verified on the basis of objectives evidence, through concise contractual strategy that include carefully developed engineering and quality requirements, and by good coordination and communications, supported by vigilance in review, audit and surveillance of the scope of the project.

QUALITY CONTROL: The Clearway Construction Quality group shall develop, implement, and maintain the completed installation process of Product Electrical and Civil/Mechanical Quality Control Plans. These plans shall include details of the end-to-end critical-to-quality (CTQ) checkpoints, specific characteristics to inspect, how to inspect them, sampling rates and accept/ reject quantities. The Installing Contractor shall be responsible for performing Level 1 audits to ensure compliance to specifications post installation using the checks and sampling rates as defined on the applicable Control Plan. The General Contractor shall be responsible for performing Level 2 audits to ensure the installing contractors have complied with specifications at reduced sampling rates as defined on the applicable Control Plan. Where a GC is self-performing the installation, the Level 1 and 2 audits shall be executed by different individuals. Clearway Construction Quality shall perform Level 3 audits to ensure contractors have complied with the specifications at further reduced sampling rates as defined on the applicable control plans.
x Quality Surveillance is a critical activity to ensure standard attributes are met during the installation process. All contractors and CEG employees are expected to cooperate and collaborate through Quality Surveillance to reach the common goals of the project.
x Surveying agents are expected to use Control Plans, standard work Instructions, project sheet sets, or any known information to validate the works are being completed per the source of truth and to effectively ensure the works are being completed to print, both in process and finished product attributes. Surveying agents shall not be prohibited from examining the works as needed. Surveying agents are additionally expected to cooperate with the contractors performing the works such that the work plan is not impeded in any substantial way.
x Quality Surveillance is viewed as a collective responsibility to be carried out by all individuals working on the project.

Appendix G - 7
QUALITY CONTROL MEASUREMENTS:

Each inspecting entity is not limited to the content of the control plans themselves. The Issue for Construction plan set and subsequent RFI’s shall be used in the determination. In certain cases records shall be kept detailing which specific items were inspected along with measurements to inform if the finished attributes meet the defined attributes. The intent is to capture specific items audited such that subsequent inspections can perform sampling on both previously included, as well as omitted items. Note: it is the contractor’s responsibility to formulate record forms needed for this task. These records can be in word document, excel, or annotated site drawing format. It is a requirement to review the planned method of recording with the Site Quality Manager to ensure adequacy.

Said record forms shall be turned over along with the applicable control plan, which should indicate pass/fail of the respective item to the Clearway Construction Manager. Where deviations are observed in excess of the defined reject quantities the inspection shall cease, and be cause for increased sampling and correction by the contractor, and then the audit re-performed. This sampling shall be determined on a case by case basis with cooperation from the contractor, the General Contractor and Clearway Quality in the determination. Where defects are observed that do not exceed the defined reject quantities, each identified defect shall be documented using the Quality Incident Report Log sheet, and corrected prior to turn over for the subsequent audits. This methodology is applicable to each Level of the Quality Control Inspection process.

SALE LEASEBACK REQUIREMENTS
(a) Performance of Lease Obligations. Seller shall at all times keep, perform, observe and comply with, or cause to be kept, performed, observed and complied with, all material covenants, agreements, conditions and other provisions required to be kept, performed, observed and complied with by or on behalf of Seller from time to time pursuant to the Lease, and Seller shall not do or permit anything to be done, the doing of which, or refrain from doing anything, the omission of which, would reasonably be expected to impair the rights of Seller under the Lease, or could be grounds for the Sale Leaseback Lessor to terminate the Lease. (b) Notice of Default. Seller shall give Buyer immediate notice of (i) any default or of any event which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would become a default under the Lease or of the receipt by Seller of any notice from the Sale Leaseback Lessor thereof, or (ii) the commencement or threat of any action or proceeding or arbitration pertaining to the Lease.

Buyer, at its option, may take any action (but shall not be obligated to take any action) from time to time deemed necessary or desirable by Buyer to prevent or cure, in whole or in part, any default by Seller under the Lease. Seller shall deliver to Buyer, promptly following service or delivery thereof on, to or by Seller, a copy of each petition, summons, complaint, notice of motion, order to show cause and other pleading or paper, however designated, which shall be served or delivered in connection with any such action, proceeding or arbitration. (c) Sale Leaseback Lessor Bankruptcy. In the event of the termination, rejection, or disaffirmance by Sale Leaseback Lessor (or by any receiver, trustee, custodian, or other party that succeeds to the rights of the Sale Leaseback Lessor) under the Lease pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code (U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.), Seller shall cooperate and work in good faith with Buyer to exercise Seller’s rights under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code (including, without limitation, the election available pursuant to Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, and any successor provision) in a manner consistent with and in furtherance of the purpose of the Agreement and Buyer’s interests in the Agreement (by which Seller acknowledges the importance of the Lease as security). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, Seller shall not, without Buyer’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, elect to treat the Lease or the leasehold estate created thereby as terminated under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, after rejection or disaffirmance of the Lease by the Sale Leaseback Lessor (whether as debtor in possession or otherwise) or by any trustee of the Sale Leaseback Lessor, and any such election made without such consent shall be void at inception and of no force or effect. At the request of Buyer, Seller will join in any election made by Buyer under the Bankruptcy Code and will take no action in contravention of the rights granted to Buyer pursuant this Section (c). In the event there Appendix N - 2
is a termination, rejection, or disaffirmance by the Sale Leaseback Lessor (whether as debtor in possession or otherwise) or by any trustee of the Sale Leaseback Lessor pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code and, Seller elects, with Buyer’s consent, to have Seller remain in possession under any legal right Seller may have to occupy the property pursuant to the Lease, then Seller shall remain in such possession and shall perform all acts necessary for Seller to retain its right to remain in such possession, whether such acts are required under the then existing terms and provisions of the Lease or otherwise.
(d) Seller Bankruptcy. In the event that a petition under the Bankruptcy Code shall be filed by or against Seller and Seller or any trustee of Seller shall decide to reject or disaffirm the Lease pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code (or allow the same), Seller shall give Buyer at least ten (10) days prior notice of the date on which application shall be made to the court for authority to reject or disaffirm the Lease or the Lease will be otherwise rejected. Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Seller or such trustee within such ten (10) day period a notice stating that (i) Buyer demands that Seller (whether as debtor in possession or otherwise) or such trustee assume and assign the Lease to Buyer pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) Buyer covenants to cure, or to provide adequate assurance of prompt cure of, all defaults (except defaults of the type specified in Section 365(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code) and to provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Lease. In the event that Buyer serves any such notice as provided above, Seller (whether as debtor in possession or otherwise) shall not seek to reject or disaffirm the Lease and Seller (whether as debtor in possession or otherwise). (e) Default Cure (non-bankruptcy). In the event of monetary default under the Lease other than in connection with a bankruptcy filing by or against Seller, upon any payment by Buyer to cure any default of Seller, as lessee thereunder, and thereby to prevent termination of the Lease or the exercise of any other remedy of the Sale Leaseback Lessor thereunder arising out of such default, Seller, within ten (10) days following receipt of notice from Buyer that it made such payment, shall pay the amount of such payment to Buyer plus interest accruing thereon at the Interest Rate, from and including the date of the payment by Buyer to cure such default to but excluding the date of such payment by the Seller.
(f) Memorandum. A memorandum of the Lease shall be recorded in the applicable county.

AGREEMENT

1. Assignment and Agreement.

1.1 Consent to Assignment. Buyer hereby consents to the collateral assignment to the Collateral Agent, pursuant to the Security Agreement, of all of Seller’s rights, title and interest in, to and under the PPA (including, without limitation, the right to receive payment thereunder), the granting of Liens on all property of Seller pursuant to the Construction Period Collateral Documents, the pledge of direct membership interests in Seller to the Collateral Agent as security for Borrower’s obligations under the Pledge Agreement, the pledge of the indirect membership interests in Seller to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreement and Buyer acknowledges that the Collateral Agent and is a “Facility Lender” for purposes of the PPA.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Consent, Buyer agrees that, in exercising its remedies under the Construction Period Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent may exercise Seller’s rights under the PPA.

1.2 Notices: Right to Cure by the Collateral Agent. Upon the occurrence of a Default (as defined under the PPA) by Seller under the PPA, Buyer shall give concurrent notice of such Default to Seller and the Collateral Agent. Upon receipt of notice from the Collateral Agent, Buyer agrees to accept the exercise and cure by the Collateral Agent of the Default if such exercise and cure is in compliance with the PPA and this Consent. Buyer shall not terminate or suspend its performance under the PPA until the Collateral Agent has been given: (a) if such Default is a monetary Default, thirty (30) days after the later of (i) the expiration of all cure periods available to Seller under the PPA and (ii) receipt of such notice to cure a monetary Default or, (b) if such Default is a nonmonetary Default, sixty (60) days after the later of (i) the expiration of all cure periods available to Seller under the PPA and (ii) receipt of such notice (or up to thirty (30) additional days, so long as the Collateral Agent reasonably demonstrates to Buyer that it is diligently pursuing appropriate action to cure and is making sufficient progress toward curing such Appendix P - 3
Default); provided, however, that (x) if possession of the Facility is necessary to cure any such nonmonetary Default and the Collateral Agent commenced foreclosure proceedings within thirty (30) days after the Collateral Agent’s receipt of notice of Default from Buyer and are diligently pursuing such foreclosure proceedings, the Collateral Agent will be allowed a reasonable additional period of time, not to exceed ninety (90) days after receipt of such notice of Default from Buyer, to complete such proceedings and cure such Default, and (y) if the Collateral Agent is prohibited from curing any such Default by any process, stay or injunction issued by any Governmental Authority or pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or other similar proceeding involving Seller, then the time periods specified herein for curing a Default shall be extended for the period of such prohibition, so long as the Collateral Agent has diligently pursued removal of such process, stay or injunction, but in no event more than two hundred thirty (230) days. Failure of Buyer to provide such notice to the Collateral Agent shall not constitute a breach of the PPA or this Consent by Buyer and the Collateral Agent agrees that Buyer shall have no liability to the Collateral Agent for such failure whatsoever; provided that no claim of Default or termination of the PPA by Buyer shall be binding without such notice and the lapsing of the applicable periods set forth above. If the Collateral Agent fails to cure a Default within the applicable period, Buyer shall have all its rights and remedies with respect to such Default as set forth in the PPA.

1.3 Subsequent Owner. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Consent, the Parties agree that the Collateral Agent shall, concurrent with any statutory notice required to be delivered to Seller, give notice in writing to Buyer not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date of any foreclosure or transfer of the Facility and the PPA (a “Foreclosure Sale”) and, in addition, the Collateral Agent shall subsequently notify Buyer following any transfer pursuant to such foreclosure. If the Collateral Agent notifies Buyer in writing that it has completed foreclosure on the Facility and PPA pursuant to the Construction Period Collateral Documents, taken a “deed in lieu of foreclosure” with respect to the Facility and PPA, or otherwise transferred the Facility and PPA, the Collateral Agent or its permitted successors or assigns, or any other purchaser of the Facility (each such Person, including the Collateral Agent that is a transferee, a “Subsequent Owner”), shall be recognized as a party substituting for Seller under the PPA so long as such the Subsequent Owner meets the qualifications for a Qualified Transferee and each Subsequent Owner expressly assumes Seller’s obligations under the PPA, and the terms and conditions of the PPA as in effect on such date of transfer or foreclosure shall continue to apply to such Subsequent Owner; provided, however, it is acknowledged and agreed that [insert name of Collateral Agent that is a party to this Consent] is a Qualified Transferee.

1.4 [Reserved].

1.5 Foreclosure Sale. In the event a Foreclosure Sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure under the Construction Period Collateral Documents shall take place, Buyer or any Participating Member shall have the right to bid at such Foreclosure Sale for the purchase of the Facility. The Collateral Agent may sell the membership interests in Seller pursuant to such Foreclosure Sale.

1.6 Third Party Beneficiary. No action of Buyer taken pursuant to the exercise of its rights as provided in this Consent shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right accruing to Buyer on account of the occurrence of any matter which constitutes a default or a breach of Seller’s obligations under the Financing Agreement or the PPA.

Appendix P - 4

1.7 No Assignment. Buyer agrees that it shall not, without the prior written joint consent of Seller and the Collateral Agent (such consent to not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) sell, assign or transfer any of its rights under the PPA, other than in accordance with Section 14.7 of the PPA. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have consented to such sale, assignment or transfer should it fail to respond within forty-five (45) days after the date of the notice from Buyer is received by the Collateral Agent.

1.8 Limitation of Liability.
(a) Seller agrees that it shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from any third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, any direct, indirect or consequential claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses, including legal fees) in connection with or arising out of any of the transactions related to the Financing Agreement and the Construction Period Collateral Documents or this Consent. (b) In the event of any Foreclosure Sale, or the taking of any deed in lieu of foreclosure, in connection with an exercise of remedies under any Construction Period Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent shall, if performance of the PPA is reasonably possible, cause the Subsequent Owner to assume in writing and agree to be bound by the covenants and agreements of Seller in the PPA; provided, however, that until the Subsequent Owner executes and delivers to Buyer a written assumption of Seller’s obligations under the PPA, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, such Person will not be entitled to any of the benefits of the PPA. The Collateral Agent agrees that in no event shall Buyer be liable to the Collateral Agent or any Subsequent Owner for any claims, losses, expenses or damages whatsoever under the PPA other than liability Buyer may have to Seller under the PPA. In the event a Subsequent Owner elects to perform Seller’s obligations under the PPA in accordance with Section 1.3 hereof, the recourse of Buyer in seeking the enforcement of such obligations shall be limited to any Project Development Security, or the Delivery Term Security, as applicable, provided pursuant to the PPA and the value (taking into account indebtedness secured by the Facility, including indebtedness arising in connection with such Project Development Security or the Delivery Term Security, as applicable) of the Subsequent Owner’s interest in the Facility.

1.9 Reinstatement. In the event that the PPA is rejected by a trustee or debtor-inpossession in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, and if, within forty-five (45) calendar days after such rejection, the Collateral Agent shall so request, Buyer will execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a new power purchase agreement, which power purchase agreement shall be on the same terms and conditions as the original PPA for the remaining term of the original PPA before giving effect to such rejection, and which shall require the Collateral Agent to cure any defaults then existing under the original PPA other than the default under the original PPA attributed to the bankruptcy or insolvency of Seller.

2. Payments under the PPA. Without limiting the rights of Buyer under the PPA, Buyer shall pay any amounts owed in the manner and when required under the PPA directly to the accounts specified below or otherwise designated by the Collateral Agent to Buyer in writing.

From and after such time as an entity qualifies as a Subsequent Owner, Buyer shall pay all such amounts owed directly to or at the written direction of such Subsequent Owner. Commencing on the date of this Consent and until the occurrence of the Term Conversion Date (as defined in the Appendix P - 5
Financing Agreement and which shall only occur for purposes of this Consent after Buyer receives written notice thereof from the Collateral Agent) (the “Construction Loan Discharge Date”), Seller hereby directs Buyer, and Buyer agrees, to make all payments and amounts Buyer is obligated to pay to Seller under the PPA, which payments shall satisfy any such payment obligations of Buyer to Seller in full and complete satisfaction of Buyer’s obligations to Seller under the PPA to the following account:

Bank Name: [______]
Account Number: [______]
ABA Number: [______]
Account Name: [______]
Ref: [_____]
The Collateral Agent and Seller agree that any change in payment notification shall become effective within thirty (30) days after receipt by Buyer of written notice thereof in accordance with this Consent. Buyer shall have no liability to Seller or any Secured Party (or their successors and assigns) for making payments due or to become due under the PPA to any Secured Party or for failure to direct any payments to the Collateral Agent rather than Seller.

3. Acknowledgements; Representations and Warranties.

3.1 Buyer. Buyer hereby represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent as of the date of this Consent as follows:

Buyer agrees that any foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on the direct or indirect membership interests in Seller, or any parent entity of Seller and any subsequent transfer to a third party by the Collateral Agent after such foreclosure, upon the occurrence of a default under the Financing Agreement shall not constitute a breach under the PPA so long as the Facility is operated and maintained by a Qualified Operator following any such foreclosure and subsequent transfer.

Collateral Agent shall obtain Buyer’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) prior to any transfer by Collateral Agent of the membership interests in Borrower or Pledgor upon the occurrence of a default by Borrower under the Financing Agreement to an entity other than a Qualified Transferee.

3.2 Seller and Collateral Agent.
(a) Seller and the Collateral Agent acknowledge that Buyer has not made and hereby makes no representation or warranty, expressed or implied, that Seller has any right, title or interest in the collateral secured by the Construction Period Collateral Documents (the “Collateral”) and the Collateral Agent acknowledges that it has not relied upon any such representations of Buyer.

The Collateral Agent acknowledges that it is responsible for satisfying itself as to the existence and extent of Seller’s right, title, and interest in the Collateral. (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Collateral Agent acknowledges Appendix P - 6
that Buyer shall not have any contractual obligations to the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent acknowledges that it has not relied upon any representations of Buyer in connection with its lending arrangements with Borrower for the Facility. (c) Except with respect to performance of the agreements contained herein, Seller and the Collateral Agent acknowledge that Buyer shall have no liability to Seller or the Collateral Agent resulting from or related to this Consent, or for consenting to any future assignments of the Collateral or any interest of Seller or the Collateral Agent therein.

(e) Collateral Agent represents and warrants that it is duly authorized, on behalf of the Secured Parties it represents, to enter into and perform its obligations under this Consent.

The Parties irrevocably agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in the State of California and waive any defense of forum non conveniens.

4.2 Conflicts. Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Consent does not modify or alter any of the terms of the PPA. As between the Buyer and the Seller, to the extent the terms and conditions herein conflict with those in the PPA, the terms and conditions of the PPA shall control.

3. Buyer has not transferred or assigned its interest in the PPA.

4.
