APPENDIX C
(Generating Facilities in service after January 1, 2002)
PRODUCER'S WARRANTY THAT THE RENEWABLE GENERATING FACILITY
IS AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN
"ELIGIBLE RENEWABLE RESOURCE" PURSUANT TO SECTION 399.11 et seq. OF THE
CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UTILITIES CODE AND THAT THE OUTPUT WILL COMPLY WITH THE CALIFORNIA
RENEWABLE PORTFOLIO STANDARDS ("ERR/RPS Warranty")
For the purpose of selling power produced by the Generating Facility pursuant to Assembly Bi111969, under Section 399.20 et seq. of the California Public Utilities Code, Producer hereby declares that the Renewable Generating Facility complies with the requirements for "Eligible Renewable Resource" as such term is used in Section 399.11 et seq. of the California Public Utilities Code ("ERR Requirements") and that the output from the Generating Facility complies with the requirements of the California Renewables Portfolio Standards ("RPS Requirements").
Producer warrants that, beginning on the date of Initial Operation and continuing throughout the Term of this Agreement, its Renewable Generating Facility shall continue to comply with the ERR Requirements and RPS Requirements. If Producer becomes aware that the Renewable Generating Facility or its output has ceased to comply with the ERR Requirements or RPS Requirements, Producer shall promptly provide SCE with Notice of such change pursuant to Section 12 of the Agreement. If at any time during the Term of this Agreement SCE determines in its reasonable discretion that Producer's Renewable Generating Facility may no longer comply with the ERR Requirements or RPS Requirements, SCE may require Producer to provide evidence that the Renewable Generating Facility continues to comply with the ERR Requirements and RPS Requirements within 15 business days of SCE's Notice requesting such evidence. Additionally, SCE may periodically (typically, once per year) inspect Producer's Renewable Generating Facility and/or require documentation from Producer to monitor the Renewable Generating Facility's compliance with the ERR Requirements and RPS Requirements. If SCE determines in its reasonable judgment that Producer either failed to provide evidence in a timely manner or that it provided insufficient evidence that its Renewable Generating Facility continues to comply with the ERR Requirements or RPS Requirements, then the Eligible Renewable Resource Status (the "ERR Status") or Renewables Portfolio Standard Status (the "RPS Status") of the Renewable Generating Facility shall be deemed ineffective until such time as Producer again demonstrates to SCE's reasonable satisfaction that the Renewable Generating Facility complies with the requirements for a Eligible Renewable Resource Generation Facility or RPS Requirements (the "ERR/RPS Status Change").
SCE shall revise its records and the administration of this Agreement to reflect the ERR/RPS Status Change and provide Notice to Producer of the ERR/RPS Status Change pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement. Such Notice shall specify the effective date of the ERR/RPS Status Change. This date shall be the first day of the calendar month for which SCE determines in its sole discretion that the Renewable Generating Facility first ceased to comply with the ERR Requirements or RPS Requirements. SCE"s Notice shall include an invoice for the refund of payments that were made to Producer during the period between the effective date of the ERR/RPS Status Change and the date of the last Notice in reliance upon Producer's representations that the Renewable Generating Facility complied with the ERR Requirements and RPS Requirements and therefore was eligible to sell power to SCE as a result of satisfying the ERR Requirements and RPS Requirements.
During the period when the ERR Status or RPS Status is deemed to be ineffective, SCE shall not pay Producer for Product. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a change in law occurs after execution of this Agreement that causes the warranty contained in this Appendix C to be materially false or misleading, Producer shall not be in default of this Agreement if Producer has used commercially reasonable efforts to comply with such change in law.
Any amounts to be paid or refunded by Producer, as may be invoiced by SCE pursuant to the terms of this ERR Warranty, shall be paid to SCE within 30 days of Producer's receipt of such invoice.
