The Using Agency shall not cause and, where reasonably possible, shall not permit any interference with the
System’s Insolation. If the Using Agency becomes aware of any activity or condition that could diminish the Insolation of the System, the Using Agency shall notify the Vendor {Contractor} immediately and shall cooperate with the Vendor
{Contractor} in preserving the System’s existing Insolation levels.
9. RELOCATION OF SYSTEM
a. SYSTEM RELOCATION
If the Using Agency ceases to conduct business operations at the Facility, or otherwise vacates the Facility prior to the expiration of the Term, the Using Agency shall have the option to provide the Vendor {Contractor} with a mutually agreeable substitute premises located within the same utility district as the terminated System or in a location with similar utility rates and Insolation. The Using Agency shall provide written notice at least sixty (60) days but not more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that it plans to vacate the Premises or the Facility. In connection with such substitution, the Using Agency shall execute a revised substitute agreement that shall have all of the same terms as this
PPA except for the (i) effective date; (ii) the license, which will be amended to grant access in the substitute premises where the System is relocated to; and (iii) term, which will be equal to the remainder of the Term of this PPA calculated starting at the shutdown of the System pursuant to such relocation, and shall toll until the relocated System achieves commercial operation of such new location. Such amended agreement shall be deemed to be a continuation of this PPA without termination. If applicable, the Using Agency shall also provide any new consents, certifications or acknowledgments reasonably required by the Parties in connection with the substitute premises and the revised substitute agreement.
b. COSTS OF RELOCATION
The Using Agency shall pay all reasonable costs associated with relocation of the System, including all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Vendor {Contractor} in connection with removal of the System from the Facility and installation and testing of the System at the substitute facility and all applicable interconnection fees and expenses at the substitute facility, as well as costs of any other out-of-pocket expenses connected to preserving and refiling the interests of Vendor {Contractor} or its affiliates with regard to the System. In addition, the Using Agency shall pay Vendor
{Contractor} an amount equal to the sum of (i) payments that the Using Agency would have made to Vendor {Contractor} hereunder for electrical energy that would have been produced by the System during the relocation; (ii) revenues that
Vendor {Contractor} would have received with respect to the System under the any rebate program and any other assistance program with respect to electrical energy that would have been produced during the relocation; (iii) revenues from Environmental Attributes that Vendor {Contractor} would have received with respect to electric energy that would have been produced by the System during the relocation; and (iv) Tax Credits that Vendor {Contractor} (or, if Vendor
{Contractor} is a pass-through entity for tax purposes, Vendor’s {Contractor’s} owners) would have received with respect to electrical energy that would have been produced by the System during the relocation. Determination of the amount of energy that would have been produced during the relocation shall be based, during the first Contract Year, on the estimated levels of production and, after the first Contract Year, based on actual operation of the System in the same period in the previous Contract Year, unless Vendor {Contractor} and the Using Agency mutually agree to an alternative methodology.
c. ADJUSTMENT FOR INSOLATION; TERMINATION
In the event that the Using Agency decides to relocate during the Term, Vendor {Contractor} shall remove the System from the vacated Facility prior to the termination of the Vendor’s {Contractor’s} ownership, lease or other rights to use such Facility. Vendor {Contractor} will be required to restore the Facility to its prior condition in accordance with
Section 11 of this PPA. If the substitute facility has inferior Insolation as compared to the original Facility, Vendor
{Contractor} shall have the right to make an adjustment to Exhibit 1 such that the Using Agency’s payments to Vendor
{Contractor} are the same as if the System were located at the original Facility, increased to the extent necessary to compensate Vendor {Contractor}for reduced revenues from Environmental Attributes and reduced Tax Credits that
Vendor {Contractor} (or, if Vendor {Contractor} is a pass-through entity for tax purposes, Vendor’s {Contractor’s} owners) receive as a result of the relocation. If the Using Agency is unable to provide such substitute facility and to relocate the System as provided, any early termination will be treated as a default by the Using Agency.
10. DECOMMISSIONING OF SYSTEM AT EXPIRATION
a. Upon the end of the Term or earlier termination of this PPA, Vendor {Contractor} shall, at its expense, Decommission and remove all of its tangible property comprising the System from the Facility on a mutually convenient date, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Term. Excluding ordinary wear and tear, the Facility shall be returned to its original condition including the removal of System mounting pads or other support structures. In no case shall Vendor’s {Contractor’s} Decommissioning of the System affect the integrity of the Using Agency’s roof, which shall be as leak proof as it was prior to Decommissioning and shall be flashed and/or patched to existing roof specifications. Vendor {Contractor} shall leave the Facility in neat and clean order. The Parties shall conduct
Decommissioning inspection of the Facility at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this
PPA in order to compile a list of items that Vendor {Contractor} is required to complete.
b. If Vendor {Contractor} fails to attend the Decommissioning inspection or fails to Decommission or to commence substantial efforts to Decommission the System by such agreed upon date, the Using Agency shall have the right, at its option, to deem the System abandoned and dispose of same at Vendor {Contractor} sole cost and expense without being liable to Vendor {Contractor} for any damages. In such event, Vendor {Contractor} shall be responsible for all of the
Using Agency’s costs and expenses to Decommission the System and restore the Facility to its original condition (other than ordinary wear and tear).
c. The Using Agency shall provide sufficient space for the temporary storage and staging of tools, materials and equipment and for the parking of construction crew vehicles and temporary construction trailers and facilities reasonably necessary during System Decommissioning.
11. MEASUREMENT
Vendor {Contractor} shall install, at its sole cost and expense, one or more meter(s), as Vendor {Contractor} deems appropriate, at or immediately before the Delivery Point to measure the output of the System.
