Annual Work Plans and Budgets The Recipient shall furnish to the Association as soon as available, but in any case not later than September 1 of each year, the annual work plan and budget for the Project for each subsequent year of Project implementation, of such scope and detail as the Association shall have reasonably requested, except for the annual work plan and budget for the Project for the first year of Project implementation, which shall be furnished no later than one (1) month after the Effective Date.
Operating Budgets (i) The Borrowers shall, not later than thirty (30) days before the Commercial Operation Date for any Plant, adopt an Operating Budget with respect to such Plant and an updated aggregate Operating Budget for the Project from such date to the conclusion of the calendar year immediately following the then-current calendar year and provide a copy of such operating plan and budget at such time to the Administrative Agent. (ii) No less than sixty (60) days in advance of the beginning of each calendar year with respect to each Plant that has achieved its Commercial Operation Date, the Borrowers shall similarly adopt an operating plan and a budget setting forth in reasonable detail the projected requirements for Operation and Maintenance Expenses and Maintenance Capital Expenses for the ensuing two (2) calendar years for each Plant that has achieved its Commercial Operation Date and an aggregate operating plan and budget for the Project and provide a copy of each such operating plan and budget at such time to the Administrative Agent. (Each such operating plan and budget is herein called an "Operating Budget"). (iii) Each Operating Budget shall include the same items and detail as provided in the Financial Model and be prepared in accordance with a form similar to the Madera Operating Budget delivered on the Closing Date (or a form otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent) and shall become effective upon approval of the Administrative Agent (acting in consultation with the Consultants if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that such consultation is necessary or desirable). The Administrative Agent's approval of such updated Operating Budgets shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (iv) If the Borrowers have not adopted an annual Operating Budget covering the applicable two-year period for each Plant that has achieved its Commercial Operation Date and for the Project before the beginning of any calendar year following the Madera Funding or any Operating Budget adopted by the Borrowers has not been accepted by the Administrative Agent before the beginning of any upcoming calendar year, the Operating Budget for each relevant Plant for the preceding calendar year shall, until the adoption of an annual Operating Budget by the Borrowers and acceptance of such Operating Budget by the Administrative Agent, be deemed to be in force and effective as the annual Operating Budget for such Plant for such upcoming calendar year; provided that if the initial Operating Budget for any Plant is not approved by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers may use a budget for such Plant that is consistent with the Financial Model until an initial Operating Budget is approved, and the Borrowers shall work diligently to prepare an initial Operating Budget for each Plant that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent. (v) If either the actual Operation and Maintenance Expenses or Maintenance Capital Expenses for any Fiscal Quarter is in excess of the applicable Permitted Operating Budget Deviation Levels, the Borrowers may deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Consultants a proposed updated Operating Budget(s), which shall be subject to approval by the Administrative Agent. Such proposed updated Operating Budget(s) shall not become effective until approved by the Administrative Agent. (vi) Each Operating Budget delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 7.01(j) shall be accompanied by a memorandum addressing all material deviations from the Financial Model.
