(a) The parties acknowledge and agree that the Augmentation Process is intended to be an interactive process including regular meetings and exchanges of information between the State and the Proponents (and any other party nominated by the State) to progress an Augmentation.
(b) The parties acknowledge and agree that the State may, acting reasonably, determine and notify Project Co or the Lead Proponent of the protocols which will govern the Augmentation Process and Project Co must comply and procure that the Proponents, Project Co Associates, and the Proponent Associates comply with such protocols.
(c) Without limiting section 3(a) or section 3(b), Project Co acknowledges and agrees that at any time during an Augmentation Process, the State may (acting reasonably) request Project Co:
(i) to attend meetings in respect of the Augmentation, including making available appropriately qualified personnel of any relevant Project Co Associate, Proponent, or Proponent Associate, to attend such meetings; and
(ii) to provide to the State and State Associates, any information, data and documents,
and Project Co must, and must procure that the relevant Project Co Associates, Proponents and Proponent Associates, attend those meetings at the time requested and provide that requested information, data and documents to the State within 10 Business Days after receipt of the request to do so from the State (or such longer period agreed between the parties acting reasonably taking into account the nature of such request).
(d) Where there are multiple Proponents, the Lead Proponent or another Proponent nominated by the Proponents must act on behalf of all Proponents in communications with the State so that the State has a single point of contact in respect of the Augmentation.
