TESTING AND INSPECTION 6.1 Pre-Commercial Operation Date Testing and Modifications.
Planned Maintenance (a) Subject to any modification or amendment of this Agreement made pursuant to Section 4.2(c) or Section 7.3(d), Planned Maintenance occurring during the Delivery Term shall be coordinated and scheduled in accordance with this Section 9.6. Seller shall perform all Planned Maintenance (including Major Planned Maintenance) in a manner that optimizes the generation and benefits to Buyer of the Contract Energy, Storage Energy, and other Products (e.g., during off-peak periods and low-irradiance periods) and, without limiting the foregoing, either
(i) outside of Daylight Hours or (ii) during the months of October and November only, during Daylight Hours; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to any Planned Maintenance that Seller is required to perform pursuant to any applicable manufacturer warranty that cannot reasonably be performed by Seller subject to such restrictions.
(b) Seller shall deliver to Buyer a proposed schedule for Planned Maintenance in respect of each Contract Year (“Planned Maintenance Schedule”) no later than ninety (90) Days before the start of such Contract Year. Planned Maintenance Schedules submitted by Seller shall
(i) comply with the second sentence of Section 9.6(a) and (ii) include reasonably detailed descriptions of the Planned Maintenance to be performed, the Days and times in which each type of Planned Maintenance is scheduled to be performed, the estimated amount(s) of Contract Capacity and Storage Capacity that will be unavailable due to Planned Maintenance and the total number of hours that Seller expects that the Contract Capacity and Storage Capacity will be unavailable due to Planned Maintenance. The general form for the Planned Maintenance Schedule is set forth in Schedule 9.6. (The Planned Maintenance descriptions reflected in the general form set forth in Schedule 9.6 are provided for indicative purposes only, and are not necessarily representative of the detail, time periods, or certainty required for a Planned Maintenance Schedule hereunder.)
(c) Buyer shall have the right to disapprove, in its reasonable discretion (provided that Buyer shall have the right to disapprove, in its sole and absolute discretion, any Planned Maintenance proposed by Seller that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement), any Planned Maintenance set out in any Planned Maintenance Schedule proposed by Seller for any Contract Year, except for any Planned Maintenance that (i) is scheduled to occur outside of Daylight Hours or during Daylight Hours during the months of October and November or (ii) Seller is required to perform pursuant to any applicable manufacturer warranty and that is scheduled to occur in compliance with Section 9.6(a). If Seller submits its Planned Maintenance Schedule for a Contract Year in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement and Buyer does not disapprove of any Planned Maintenance set out in such Planned Maintenance Schedule by sixty (60) days after submission, then such Planned Maintenance Schedule shall be deemed approved. If Buyer, in the exercise of its discretion as set forth above, disapproves any Planned Maintenance in such Planned Maintenance Schedule within the applicable time period specified above after its submission, Buyer shall notify Seller and the Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to agree upon and finalize a mutually acceptable Planned Maintenance Schedule for the applicable Contract Year. Seller shall conduct Planned Maintenance during such Contract Year only in accordance with an agreed Planned Maintenance Schedule; provided, however, that Seller may (A) move Planned Maintenance included in an agreed Planned Maintenance Schedule that is not Major Planned Maintenance, so long as such move is consistent with the terms of this Agreement (including the second sentence of Section 9.6(a)) or, with respect to Major Planned Maintenance, if such Major Planned Maintenance is scheduled to occur outside of Daylight Hours or during Daylight Hours during the months of October and November and (B) schedule and perform Planned Maintenance not reflected in the Planned Maintenance Schedule so long as such Planned Maintenance is scheduled to be performed outside of Daylight Hours or during Daylight Hours during the months of October and November and Seller provides Buyer at least two (2) weeks’ prior written notice of such Planned Maintenance; provided further that Buyer shall have the right to advise Seller of periods when Buyer prefers, based on solar irradiance, supply, market and other conditions, that any Major Planned Maintenance be deferred, and Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to comply with such request.
(d) Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to complete any Planned Maintenance and place the Facility back into full commercial operation as soon as reasonably possible. If Seller determines that any Planned Maintenance scheduled in an agreed Planned Maintenance Schedule no longer needs to be completed or will not consume the entire time scheduled therefor in the agreed Planned Maintenance Schedule, Seller shall provide (i) a Generation Forecast to Buyer reflecting the forecasted amount of Delivered Energy during each affected interval that takes into account such change and (ii) in the case of any Major Planned Maintenance, a written notice declaring the cessation and termination of the applicable Major Planned Maintenance period (in which event, the Major Planned Maintenance period shall terminate in accordance with the terms of such Generation Forecast and written notice).
Tests and Inspections § 15.5.1 Tests, inspections and approvals of portions of the Work shall be made as required by the Design-Build Documents and by applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations or lawful orders of public authorities. Unless otherwise provided, the Design-Builder shall make arrangements for such tests, inspections and approvals with an independent testing laboratory or entity acceptable to the Owner, or with the appropriate public authority, and shall bear all related costs of tests, inspections and approvals. The Design-Builder shall give the Owner timely notice of when and where tests and inspections are to be made so that the Owner may be present for such procedures. The Owner shall bear costs of (1) tests, inspections or approvals that do not become requirements until after bids are received or negotiations concluded, and (2) tests, inspections or approvals where building codes or applicable laws or regulations prohibit the Owner from delegating their cost to the Design-Builder.
§ 15.5.2 If the Owner determines that portions of the Work require additional testing, inspection or approval not included under Section 15.5.1, the Owner will instruct the Design-Builder to make arrangements for such additional testing, inspection or approval by an entity acceptable to the Owner, and the Design-Builder shall give timely notice to the Owner of when and where tests and inspections are to be made so that the Owner may be present for such procedures. Such costs, except as provided in Section 15.5.3, shall be at the Owner’s expense.
§ 15.5.3 If such procedures for testing, inspection or approval under Sections 15.5.1 and 15.5.2 reveal failure of the portions of the Work to comply with requirements established by the Design-Build Documents, all costs made necessary by such failure shall be at the Design-Builder’s expense.
§ 15.5.4 Required certificates of testing, inspection or approval shall, unless otherwise required by the Design-Build Documents, be secured by the Design-Builder and promptly delivered to the Owner.
§ 15.5.5 If the Owner is to observe tests, inspections or approvals required by the Design-Build Documents, the Owner will do so promptly and, where practicable, at the normal place of testing.
§ 15.5.6 Tests or inspections conducted pursuant to the Design-Build Documents shall be made promptly to avoid unreasonable delay in the Work.
Maintenance of Operations The Company shall maintain operations at the Project for a minimum of ten (10) years beginning on the date the Project is Placed in Service. In addition to any other rights the Department may have under the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Company discontinues of operations at the Project, such discontinuation may subject the Company to certain statutory provisions, including:
1. Pursuant to the Corporate Accountability for Tax Expenditures Act, 20 ILCS 715, et seq., a discontinuance of operations at the Project during the five-year period after the beginning of the first Taxable Year for which the Department issues a Certificate of Verification shall result in all Credits taken by the Company during such five-year period being deemed Wrongfully Exempted Illinois State Income Taxes and shall subject said Wrongfully Exempted Illinois State Income Taxes to the forfeiture provisions of Section VIII.D hereof.
2. Pursuant to Section 5-65 of the Act, discontinuance by the Company of operations at the Project during the term of this Agreement with the intent to terminate operations in the State of Illinois shall result in all Credits taken by the Company being deemed Wrongfully Exempted Illinois State Income Taxes and shall subject said Wrongfully Exempted Illinois State Income Taxes to the forfeiture provisions of Section VIII.D hereof.
Maintenance of Books and Records; Inspection The Company shall maintain its books, accounts and records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, and permit the Secured Party, its officers and employees and any professionals designated by the Secured Party in writing, at any time to visit and inspect any of its properties (including but not limited to the collateral security described in the Transaction Documents and/or the Loan Instruments), corporate books and financial records, and to discuss its accounts, affairs and finances with any employee, officer or director thereof.
Periodic Review of Costs of Environmental Compliance In the ordinary course of its business, the Company conducts a periodic review of the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated costs and liabilities (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties). On the basis of such review and the amount of its established reserves, the Company has reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change.
Maintenance Scheduling The NTO shall schedule maintenance of its facilities designated as NTO Transmission Facilities Under ISO Operational Control and schedule any outages (other than forced transmission outages) of said transmission system facilities in accordance with outage schedules approved by the ISO. The NTO shall comply with maintenance schedules coordinated by the ISO, pursuant to this Agreement, for NTO Transmission Facilities Under ISO Operational Control. The NTO shall be responsible for providing notification of maintenance schedules to the ISO for NTO Transmission Facilities Requiring ISO Notification. The NTO shall provide notification of maintenance schedules to affected Transmission Owners for NTO Transmission Facilities Requiring ISO Notification and Local Area Transmission Facilities pursuant to Section 3.5.3 of the ISO Services Tariff.
