SELLER and PLN will then negotiate towards a mutually agreeable Scheduled Outage period. Such rescheduled period shall be as close as reasonably practicable to the requested period, shall comply with the Technical Limits, shall be of equal duration as the requested period, and shall be consistent with the Projected Availability Factor for the Contract Year involved. If PLN does not advise SELLER within the applicable time period of the unacceptability of any requested Scheduled Outage period or if having done so does not advise SELLER of a rescheduled period which is consistent with the conditions stated in the foregoing sentence, the Scheduled Outage period originally requested by SELLER shall be deemed to have been accepted by PLN for all purposes of implementing the terms of this Agreement.

(c) (i) Either Party may, upon written notice given not later than thirty (30) Days prior to a Scheduled Outage, request the rescheduling of such Scheduled Outage, provided, however, that a Scheduled Outage may not be brought forward more than thirty (30) Days from the date of such notice nor may a Scheduled Outage be deferred by more than three months from the date originally scheduled therefor. Any rescheduling of a Scheduled Outage in accordance with this Section 8.2.1(c) shall be subject to mutual agreement of the Parties, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c)(ii) For purposes of Appendix G, if a Scheduled Outage is rescheduled in accordance with this Section 8.2.1(c), the Projected Availability Factor for each Billing Period in which the Scheduled Outage was previously to occur shall be adjusted by deducting the number of maintenance hours in such rescheduled Scheduled Outage and concurrently the Projected Availability Factor for each Billing Period in which, as rescheduled, it will occur shall be adjusted by adding such number of maintenance hours, with each such adjustment to be reflected in the Availability Analysis then in effect for each such Billing Period. All other factors in each affected Availability Analysis shall remain the same.


(d)(i) If during an Unscheduled Outage, SELLER is able to perform maintenance that effectively replaces maintenance that would have been performed during a future Scheduled Outage, SELLER may, upon prior written notice to PLN, reduce, in whole or in part, the duration of such future Scheduled Outage by the number of hours of maintenance so performed during such Unscheduled Outage. If no further Scheduled Outage will occur in the Contract Year during which such Unscheduled Outage occurs, SELLER in such notice may apply the number of hours so performed to reduce the number of hours of maintenance in a future Scheduled Outage to occur in the following Contract Year.

(d)(ii) For purposes of Appendix G, if the hours of maintenance in a future Scheduled Outage are reduced in accordance with this Section 8.2.1 (d), the Projected Availability Factor for each Billing Period in which the related Unscheduled Outage did occur shall be adjusted by adding the number of Maintenance hours involved to the number of maintenance hours allocated for Scheduled Outages during each such Billing Period and concurrently the Projected Availability Factor for each Billing Period in which such future Scheduled Outage will occur shall be adjusted by deducting such number of maintenance hours from the number of maintenance hours allocated for Scheduled Outages during each such Billing Period, with each such adjustment to be reflected in the Availability Analysis then in effect for each such Billing Period. All other factors in each affected Availability Analysis shall remain the same.

(e)(i) If SELLER is able to complete the maintenance to be performed during a Scheduled Outage more quickly than originally anticipated, SELLER may, upon telephone notice to the Dispatch Centre, request reconnection to PLN’s Grid System at a time earlier than that originally scheduled for completion of the Scheduled Outage. Early reconnection to PLN’s Grid System in accordance with this Section 8.2.1 (e) shall be subject to the approval of PLN, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If early reconnection is approved, the originally scheduled number of maintenance hours not used during the Scheduled Outage being terminated early shall be deducted from the period of such Scheduled Outage and concurrently added to the period of the immediately succeeding Scheduled Outage, provided that if the immediately succeeding Scheduled Outage will occur in the following calendar year the maximum number of maintenance hours which can be deducted from the period of the Scheduled Outage being terminated early and concurrently added to the period of the immediately succeeding Scheduled Outage shall not exceed three-hundred and thirty six (336) hours.

(e)(ii) For purposes of Appendix G, if a Scheduled Outage is terminated early in accordance with this Section 8.2.1(e), the Projected Availability Factor for each Billing Period in which such Scheduled Outage occurred and for each Billing Period in which the immediately succeeding Scheduled Outage will occur will both be adjusted to reflect the adjustments provided for in the paragraph e(i) above, with such adjustments to be reflected in the Availability Analysis then in effect for each such Billing Period. All other factors in each affected Availability Analysis shall remain the same. The Parties agreed that the Schedule


Outage shall be subject to adjustment by mutual discussion and agreement between the Parties in a manner consistent with the applicable regulation.

8.2.2 SELLER shall keep the Dispatch Centre informed as to the available capacity of each Unit prior to the Commercial Operation Date and thereafter, including, without limitation, any Forced Outages, in accordance with the Operating Procedures.

8.2.3 PLN shall have the right to issue Dispatch Instructions for the first operating Unit after the Commissioned Date thereof and prior to the Commercial Operation Date and thereafter in accordance with the Operating Procedures.

If any seal securing the Metering System is found broken, if the Metering System fails to register, or if the measurement made by a metering device is found upon testing to vary by more than the allowable error (zero point twenty five percent (0.25%)) from the measurement made by the standard meter used in the test, an adjustment shall be made correcting all measurements of energy made by the Metering System during (i) the actual period when measurements were made by the Metering System, if that period can be determined to the mutual satisfaction of the Parties, or (ii) if the actual period cannot be determined to the mutual satisfaction of the Parties, one-half of the period from the date of the last test of the Metering System to the date such failure is discovered or such test is made (such period herein the “Adjustment Period”). If the Parties are unable to agree on the amount of the adjustment to be applied to the Adjustment Period, the amount of the adjustment shall be determined (x) by correcting the error if the percentage of error is ascertainable by calibration, tests or mathematical calculation, or (y) if not so ascertainable, by estimating on the basis of deliveries under similar conditions during the period since the last test. Within thirty (30) Days after the determination of the amount of any adjustment, PLN shall pay to SELLER any additional amounts then due for deliveries of Net Electrical Output Emergency Output or Net Dependable Capacity, during the Adjustment Period or PLN shall be entitled to a credit against any subsequent payments for Net Electrical Output, Emergency Output, or Net Dependable Capacity, as the case may be.

If within thirty (30) day of the date PLN receives the GFME Notice from SELLER, PLN deliver written notice to the SELLER confirming that a GFM Event has occurred, then SELLER may terminate the Agreement by thirty (30) Days written notice to PLN if such event of force Majeure is continuing for one hundred and eighty (180) consecutive days and PLN shall purchase the Plant at the price pursuant to Appendix F Section 2.2(b) and the Calculation Date shall be the Date which is one hundred and eighty one (181) Days after the date commencement of the Event of Force Majeure.

(iii) If within thirty (30) Days of the date PLN receives the notice, PLN does not deliver written notice to the SELLER confirming that a GFM Event has occured and such GFM Event is continuing for one hundred and eighty (180) consecutive days, SELLER may refer the matter to Arbitration pursuant to Section 17.3 herein, for determination of the following two issues : (1) whether such Event of Force Majeure has in fact occurred and if so, (2) whether such Event of Force Majeure has continued for one hundred eighty (180) consecutive Days after its commencement. If the arbitration Tribunal determines that those two (2) issues have occurred, then the Tribunal shall award the SELLER the right to terminate the agreement by 30 (thirty) Days notice to PLN, and if the SELLER does exercise that right, PLN shall purchase the Project on the date of termination at the price calculated pursuant to Appendix F Section 2.2(b) and for such purpose the Calculation Date shall be the Date which is one hundred and eighty one (181) Days after the date of commencement of the Event of Force Majeure.


(iv) In relation with the Arbitration proceeding as refered to section 14.3.d. (ii), SELLER shall be responsible for all costs and expenses to perform a proper preservation to the Plant for a period from the the date of commencement of the Event of Force Majeure until one hundred and eighty (180) Days thereafter. Both Parties agreed that the preservation cost of the Plant for a period following one hundred and eighty (180) Days until the Plant is transfered to PLN shall be equally shared by SELLER and PLN.

(e) If an Event of Force Majeure shall have occurred that results in a material delay in the completion of the Project or causes material damage to the Plant, and such Event of Force Majeure (i) is of a type not normally insured against by entities engaged in activities substantially similar to those engaged in by SELLER, is not required to be insured against in accordance with Good Utility Practice, and in fact has not been insured against by SELLER or (ii) could not be insured against by SELLER prior to the time of its occurrence, then both Parties shall enter into good faith negotiations to agree a satisfactory solution regarding continuation of construction of the Project or operation of the Plant, and SELLER shall use its best efforts to obtain funding to complete or repair the Plant. During such period, SELLER shall not be required to complete the Project or to repair the Plant, as the case may be, and such failure to complete, repair or operate the Plant shall not constitute SELLER Remediable Event or SELLER Non-Remediable Event. If the Parties do not reach such satisfactory solution within six (6) months after the end of such Event of Force Majeure, or other time as mutually agreed upon, SELLER and PLN may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 15.2.3.

14.4 Certain Delays Not Excused

Notwithstanding that an Event of Force Majeure otherwise exists, the provisions of this Article 14 shall not excuse:

(a) late payment of money;

(b) except in the case of a Coal Supply Force Majeure Event, late delivery of equipment or materials caused by negligent acts or omissions on the part of SELLER, Contractors, or any subcontractor to Contractors, except any such late delivery otherwise arising from an Event of Force Majeure shall be excused if it arose from a negligent act or omission of a Contractor or a subcontractor which a reasonable and prudent business person would not have anticipated from a qualified Contractor or subcontractor;

(c) except in the case of a Coal Supply Force Majeure Event, late performance by SELLER or Contractors caused by SELLER’s or Contractor’s failure to engage qualified subcontractors or to hire an adequate number of personnel or labor;

(d) submission of documents and/or drawings for approval by PLN at such a time which does not leave sufficient time to permit review thereof within the time periods provided therefor in Appendix I prior to purchase or manufacture; or

(e) delays resulting from reasonably foreseeable unfavorable weather or reasonably foreseeable unsuitable ground or sea conditions or other similar reasonably foreseeable adverse conditions.

14.5 Coal Supply Force Majeure


In the case of a Coal Supply Force Majeure Event, the requirement that SELLER take all reasonable alternative measures to avoid the effect of such event and to mitigate the consequences thereof as provided in paragraph (ii) of the definition of Coal Supply Force Majeure Event shall be satisfied in all respects by SELLER’s compliance with the provisions of Section 4 of Appendix S.

14.6 Notice of Force Majeure; Procedure

As soon as possible following the date of commencement of any Event of Force Majeure, if either Party desires to invoke such Event of Force Majeure as a cause for delay in the performance of any obligation (other than the payment of money) hereunder or under the Project Documents, it shall advise the other Party in writing of such date and the nature and expected duration of such Event of Force Majeure. As soon as practicable and in any event within three (3) Days following the termination of such Event of Force Majeure, the Party having invoked such Event of Force Majeure as a cause for such delay shall submit to the other Party reasonable proof of the nature of such delay and its effect upon the time of performance. The Parties:

(i) shall make all reasonable efforts to prevent and reduce to a minimum and mitigate the effect of any delay occasioned by any Event of Force Majeure including recourse to alternate acceptable sources of services, equipment and materials and construction equipment; and

(ii) shall use their best efforts to ensure resumption of normal performance of this Agreement after the termination of any Event of Force Majeure and shall perform their obligations to the maximum extent practicable and agreed between the Parties.
