6. Metering. (a) Power Provider shall provide, at its expense, metering equipment to measure all sales of Electric Power to Purchaser hereunder. The metering equipment for each Solar Power Facility shall be located at the point(s) set forth on the applicable Schedule and shall meet or exceed the standards applicable to meters approved for use by electric utilities in the Jurisdiction. Data retrieved from any such meter shall be delivered to Purchaser and shall serve as the basis for invoicing Purchaser for all delivered Electric Power. Purchaser may, at its own expense, install metering facilities on Purchaser's side of the Point(s) of Delivery. (b) Power Provider's metering equipment shall be sealed and the seals shall be broken only upon occasions when the meters are to be inspected, tested or adjusted by Power Provider. Power Provider shall own the metering equipment that is used to measure sales hereunder, and shall be the only Party authorized to cause seals to be broken on such meters. Representatives of Purchaser shall be offered a reasonable opportunity to be present upon any occasion when the seals for such meters are to be broken. All testing of metering equipment shall be conducted by Power Provider, its Affiliate or agent. Power Provider may, from time to time , test the metering equipment for accuracy, at Power Provider's expense. At Purchaser's request, Power Provider will test the metering equipment, provided, however, if the metering equipment is found to be registering within two percent (2%) of the amount of Electric Power actually being delivered, the cost of such test shall be paid for by Purchaser. (c) If any test of the metering of a Solar Power Facility establishes that the metering equipment is not accurate, Power Provider shall repair, replace or adjust the metering equipment at Power Provider's expense and shall make an appropriate adjustment in Purchaser's billing, for the entire period of inaccuracy of the meter measured from the date that the inaccuracy began, provided, such period shall not exceed one (1) year from the date such inaccuracy is determined. If such date cannot be determined to the reasonable satisfaction of both Parties, the billing adjustment shall be made for the last one-half of the period (not to exceed one (1) year) between the date of the last prior successful meter test and the date of the current test disclosing the inaccuracy. (d) If either Party believes that there has been a meter failure or interruption, it shall immediately notify the other Party and in any event, to be effective and trigger the adjustment procedure in this Section 6(d), such notice must be delivered to the other Party no later than one (1) year after such failure or interruption. Should a meter be determined to have failed to operate at any time, the quantities of Electric Power to be billed for such period of meter failure will be equal to the average monthly quantity of Electric Power provided by Power Provider to Purchaser that was subject to such meter during the twelve (12) months preceding such failure or interruption, or for the entire period the Solar Power Facility generating such Electric Power has been in Commercial Operation if the period preceding such failure or interruption is less than twelve (12) months. Contract Term; Early Termination by Power Provider. (a) This Agreement shall be effective as of the Execution Date and shall remain in effect, unless sooner terminated in accordance with its terms, until the expiration of the Contract Term as outlined in Exhibit C. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Power Provider shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Agreement prior to expiration of the Contract Term at any time upon the occurrence of any of the following: (i) an unstayed order of a court or administrative agency having the effect of subjecting the sales of Electric Power to federal or state regulation of prices and/or service, (ii) a change in any law, rule or regulation that results or could result in a material adverse change in the financial benefits accruing to Power Provider under this Agreement and the Parties are unable, after good faith negotiations, to agree upon modifications to the terms of this Agreement acceptable to both parties, Page 9 of 30 SE PPA 11/11/15
