2. LIMITATIONS
ElectroMagnetic (EM) Scanning Methods - There are many factors which limit the ability of EM methods to positively identify and locate all underground utilities, particular those where there is no visual
evidence or existing records to indicate their presence. The following is a list of the factors which will limit the successful performance of any utility scan:
CL
Signal Transmission — In order for a utility to be located with EM methods, it must be able to carry a signal. Signal transmission depends upon the material composition of the pipe, the condition of the
U
pipe, the existence of shielding, etc. Buried utilities may have loose joints or been expanded or repaired with differing materials (e.g. repairing a broken metallic water line with PVC piping). Direct buried
cables are also difficult to trace over longer distances because of the continuous loss of transmitted signal directly to ground. Since signal transmission depends upon the conductivity of the pipe, even some
metals, such as cast iron, which are not highly conductive can often be difficult to locate. The ability of the locator to overcome signal transmission challenges (joints, poor conductors, strict ding, etc.) is
important, but some signal transmission challenges such as changes in pipe composition cannot be overcome.
Access to Buildings — when access to existing buildings is not given, our technicians are not able to verify the existence and locations of utility services feeding those buildings. while these utilities may be
designated by the use of inductive scans, performing conductive traces on these utilities is often times the only way to determine their location.
a
Available Records — when site information and/or drawings are not available or out-of-date, the ability of the technician to ensure that all utilities within the designated work area have been marked accurately and
completely is reduced. Available records can also improve the productivity of the locator thereby reducing the overall cost to the customer.
>—
Access to Utility — while access to a utility is not necessary in order to trace the utility, inaccessibility will limit the thoroughness of the investigation. Often, the only way to identify a utility type is to trace it to a
M
known, accessible destination (manhole, valve, hydrant, building, etc.). Also, when attempting to isolate a target utility within congested areas, access to the utility is required. whenever manhole covers cannot be
i
pulled, buildings cannot be accessed, valves are buried, etc., the thoroughness of the investigation and performance of the locator is reduced.
d
Bleed-Over/Bonded Lines— Often times, buried utilities will share a common ground. The ground presents a common ground pathway in which utilities with low resistance can pick up transmitted signals. when
0
these circumstances exist, it can lead to utilities that are mismarked. Often times, the presence of additional utilities can be determined when bonded lines and signal bleed -over exists, but identification of the utility
types cannot always be determined. In these cases, the ability of the locator to isolate targeted utilities becomes a factor, but utility identification can only occur when the signal can be traced to a known destination
J
point (above ground indicator or inside a building).
d
U
Depth of Utility — In order for a utility to be designated, the signal placed onto the utility must be detectable from the ground surface. The ability of the Locator to overcome signal depth resolution is an important
factor to successful performance. Utilities deeper than 15 feet are often difficult to locate.
�
3. LIMITATIONS — GROUND PENETRATING RADAR (GPR) SURVEYS — Ground Penetrating Radar operates by transmitting pulses of ultra high frequency radio waves down into the ground through
N
an antenna. The transmitted energy is reflected from various buried objects or distinct contacts between different earth materials with varying dielectric properties. The antenna then receives the reflected
L
waves and stores them in the digital control unit. GPR is capable of horizontally designating both conductive and non-conductive utilities (the waves can be reflected by both metallic and non-metallic pipes).
0
The scope of work may provide private utility locating services with or without the use of GPR. The deliverables for each type of investigation will differ.
++
7
4. LIMITATIONS —VERTICAL ELEVATIONS —Depths of utilities can be obtained using geophysical technologies but are not 100% reliable. As such, any vertical elevations provided using geophysical
Q
technologies is for reference only, and the Firm accepts no responsibility for errors associated with vertical elevations of utilities provided using geophysical methods. Precise vertical elevations of buried
utilities required for design or construction projects can only be provided by carefully exposing the utility through vacuum excavation.
5. PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY —The Firm represents that it will perform the services described in the "Contract" attached hereto (the "Professional Services"), and in a manner consistent with that
M
level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by comparable professional films, under similar circumstances, at or near the same location, at the time the Firm performs the Professional Services. There are no other
N
representations to the Client, either expressed or implied. The Firm does not guarantee approval of or a specific result from the preparation of any plans and/or documents submitted for review. The Firm will
C
complete the Professional Services within a reasonable period of time consistent with applicable professional standards, subject to external parameters and delays and elements within the Firm's control, however,
N
the Film is not responsible for the timeliness of the Client obtaining applicable approvals, permits, or the like. The Film has no duty, obligation or responsibility to inspect, observe, comment, or report on the work
(�
of other contractors, vendors or material suppliers, or on conditions, of any nature whatsoever, which exist at, in, on, about, or near the project or property which is the subject of these Telcos and Conditions and the
W
Contract.
W
6. PAYMENT TERMS — The Film agrees to perform the Professional Services and the Client agrees to pay the Film for the Professional Services described in the Contract, without regard to the success or
p
time of completion of the Project, but upon the Firm's completion of the Professional Services and invoicing Client for same. The Firm shall generate Invoices for Professional Services and expenses,
O
monthly. Payment for Invoices is due immediately upon Client's receipt of an Invoice and, in no event, later than thirty (30) day of mailing of an Invoice (the "Due Date"). If Client fails to pay an
I*
Invoice on or before the Due Date, the Firm reserves the right, three (3) days after the Firm delivers written notice to Client of said delinquency, to: 1) immediately cease all Professional Services:
11 -
and 2) to pursue any and all remedies against Client. Client shall fully indemnify and hold the Firm harmless from and against any and all damages of any nature and kind whatsoever, without limitation,
that result in whole or in part, from Firm's cessation of its Professional Services as described herein. There will be a 4% handling fee for any and all credit card transactions.
M
N
In the event the Firm commences a legal action or pursues a claim of any kind or any collection effort against Client for an unpaid Invoice(s) or portion of same (collectively "Claim"), the Client
agrees that it shall, in addition to owing the Firm for principal and interest in the amount of one percent (1%) per month commencing on the Due Date, also reimburse and be liable to the Firm for all
N
collection costs, including but not limited to, court costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, staff time, administrative time, in-house Counsel time, and any other related expenses in connection with the Firm's
pursuit of a Claim (collectively "Collection Fees"). In the event the Firm possesses a Client retainer, the Firm may, at its option, apply monies paid as a retainer to the Firm's Final Invoice or to any
J
Invoice or delinquent Invoice(s), at any time, and Client specifically acknowledges and agrees to the Firm's right to do so. Once the Firm has been paid for all Professional Services and expenses,
d
the Firm shall refund any remaining retainer to the Client, after Client's request. The Firm reserves the right to modify or increase its billing rates on or after the year anniversary date of the Contract.
V
4+
Client shall provide the Firm with written notice of any disputed charge(s) on or before the Due Date for an Invoice (the "Dispute Notice"). If Client fails to provide the Dispute Notice, Client agrees that it is
i
specifically waiving all rights to dispute said Invoice and any charges contained therein. If Client delivers the Dispute Notice to the Firm on or before the Invoice's Due Date, Client must pay the invoiced
C
amount to Firm, minus the disputed amount, by the Invoice Due Date. Client shall not withhold amounts not disputed. The Dispute Notice must set forth, in specific detail, all bases and reasons for Client disputing
9
said Invoice. Any bases and reasons that Client fails to include in the Dispute Notice are automatically and permanently waived. The Firm and Client shall attempt, in good faith, to promptly resolve disputed
Invoices. If any dispute is subsequently resolved or settled in the Film's favor, then the Client shall pay the disputed amount previously withheld within ten (10) days of such resolution (or settlement) in
r
Firm's favor, including interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month commencing on the Due Date for said Invoice through the date the Client pays said Invoice and all Collection Fees. If the dispute is
ti
subsequently resolved or settled in Client's favor, the Firm shall issue a credit on Client's subsequent hrvoice for the disputed amount resolved or settled in Client's favor.

4. There is no action, suit, or proceeding, at law or in equity, or official investigation before
or by any government authority pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against the Taxing
Jurisdiction, wherein an anticipated decision, ruling, or finding would result in a material adverse
effect on the Taxing Jurisdiction ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or on the
validity or enforceability of this Agreement.
2. Tax Exem )tion• Payment in Lieu of Real Proer . Taxes.
(a) Tax -Exempt Status of the Project Facility. Pursuant to RPTL § 487 the Parties hereto
agree that the Project shall be placed by the Taxing Jurisdiction as exempt upon the assessment
rolls of the Taxing Jurisdiction. A Real Property Tax Exemption Form (RP 487) has or will be
filed with the Assessor for the Town possessing authority to assess and value the Project, and
grant such exemption application, and the Project is eligible for exemption pursuant to RPTL §
487(4).
(b) Owner agrees to make annual payments to the Taxing Jurisdiction in lieu of real
property taxes for the Project for a period of fifteen (15) consecutive fiscal tax years; annual
payments may not exceed the amounts that would otherwise be payable but for the RPTL 487
exemption. Such 15 -year term shall commence on the first taxable status date selected by Owner
following written notification by the owner that the project is mechanically complete and the
production of electricity has commenced (the "Commencement Date"), and shall end the
fifteenth fiscal year following the Commercial Operations Date. The first annual payment shall
be in the amount of $4,,184.47 (the "Annual Payments"). Thereafter, the Annual Payments will
escalate in the amount of two percent (2%) per year. Based on the Capacity of 2 Megawatts AC,
Annual Payments to be made by Owner during the term of this Agreement shall be as listed in
Exhibit B. Each Annual Payment will be paid to the Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with
Section 5 of this Agreement; and the annual payment amount and payment date will be noted on
an annual bill issued by the Taxing Jurisdiction to the Owner, provided that any failure of the
Taxing Jurisdiction to issue such a bill shall not relieve Owner of its obligation to make timely
payments under this section.
(c) Owner agrees that the payments in lieu of taxes under this Agreement will not be
reduced on account of a depreciation factor or reduction in the Taxing Jurisdiction tax rate, and
the Taxing Jurisdictions agree that the payments in lieu of taxes will not be increased on account
of an inflation factor or increase in the Taxing Jurisdiction tax rate, all of which factors have
been considered in arriving at the payment amounts reflected in this Agreement.
3. Change in Capaci at Mechanical Completion: Adjustments to Paments. To the
extent that the Capacity of the Project is more or less than the 2 Megawatts AC for the Solar
Energy System on the date when the Project is mechanically complete and Owner has
commenced production of electricity, the payments set forth in Exhibit B will be increased or
decreased on a pro rata basis.
2
4. Change in Ca paciE: After Mechanical Completion: Adjustments to Payments. If
after the Completion Date the Capacity is increased or decreased as a result of the replacement or
upgrade or partial removal or retirement of existing Project equipment or property or the addition
of new Project equipment or property, the Annual Payments set forth in Exhibit B shall be
increased or decreased on a pro rata basis for the remaining years of the Agreement.
5. Payment Collection.
Payments for the Taxing Jurisdiction shall be made payable to the Wappingers Central School
District and mailed to the Superintendent, located at 25 Corporate Park Drive, P.O. Box 396,
Hopewell Junction, NY 12533, and such payments are due no later than January 15t1 each year,
on or after the Commencement Date.
All late payments shall accrue interest at the statutory rate for late tax payments under New York
Law. Owner shall pay the reasonable attorney fees, court and other costs incurred by the Taxing
Jurisdictions in the collection of the unpaid amounts. All payments by the Owner hereunder shall
be paid in lawful money of the United States of America.
6. Tax Status. Separate Tax Lot. The Taxing Jurisdiction agree that during the term
of this Agreement, the Taxing Jurisdiction will not assess Owner for any real property taxes with
respect to the Project to which Owner might otherwise be subject under New York law, and the
Taxing Jurisdiction agree that this Agreement will exclusively govern the payments of all such
taxes, provided, however, that this Agreement is not intended to affect, and will not preclude the
Taxing Jurisdiction from assessing, any other taxes, fees, charges, rates or assessments which the
Owner is obligated to pay, including, but not limited to, special assessments or special district
assessments, fees, or charges for services provided by the Taxing Jurisdiction to the Project.
Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of the Owner to challenge the assessment of the
Project pursuant to the RPTL.
7. No Assi nments Without Prior Notice Bindin Effect.
(a) This Agreement may not be assigned by Owner without the prior written consent of
the Taxing Jurisdiction; such consent may not be unreasonably withheld if the Assignee has
agreed in writing to accept all obligations of the Owner. The restrictions on assignment
contained herein do not prohibit or otherwise limit changes in control of Owner. If Owner
assigns this Agreement with the advance written consent of the Taxing Jurisdiction, the Owner
shall be released from all obligations under this Agreement upon assumption hereof in writing by
the assignee, provided that Owner shall, as a condition of such assignment and to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Taxing Jurisdiction, cure any defaults and satisfy all liabilities arising under
this Agreement prior to the date of such assignment. A Notice of this Agreement may be
recorded by Owner and the Taxing Jurisdiction shall cooperate in the execution of required
Assignments with the Owner and its successors. Owner may, with advance written notice to the
Taxing Jurisdiction and without prior consent, assign this Agreement to an affiliate of Owner or
to any party who has provided or is providing financing to Owner for the construction, operation
and/or maintenance of the Project.
(b) Binding Effect. This PILOT Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be
binding upon, the Taxing Jurisdiction, the Owner and their respective successors and assigns.

established by this Agreement have been negotiated in good faith in recognition of and with due
consideration of the full and fair taxable value of the Project.

Agreement. Owner shall pay all reasonable attorneys' and consulting fees incurred by the Taxing
Jurisdictions to review and negotiate any such instruments or documents.

As we look ahead at the processes for the preparation of the County/Town tax bilis, I would like to inform
you that tho dUe Aat§ far th ear." levi f lV�svember xa
Please keep in mind that pursuant to Town Law §§ 104 and 198(3)(d), Town Clerks must file water re -levy
lists with the Town Board by September 20th unless there is a resolution extending the date to no later
than November 15t, The Town Supervisor must then turn the lists overto the County. The process is similar
for sewer re -levies.
Having everyone's lists by November 3ro gives the County the ability to process the re -levy lists and produce
the January County/Town tax bilis in a timely fashion. There is no change in the format of how the lists
need to be submitted, and my office will send out further information in the fall.
Please share this information with the appropriate department(s) responsible for preparing the re -levy
lists.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact my office.
Sincerely,
