The Works Schedule shall provide for a progressive and orderly flow of Works Submittals from Project Co to the HMQ Representative to allow sufficient time for review of each Works Submittal by the HMQ Representative taking into account both the resources necessary to be available to the HMQ Representative to conduct such review and whether delay in the review of the subject matter of the Works Submittal shall have a material impact on Project Co’s ability to progress future anticipated Works Submittals and the Initial Works in accordance with the Works Schedule.
2.2
The Works Schedule and any amendment to the Works Schedule shall allow a period of 10 Business Days (or such longer period as the Parties may agree) from the date of receipt for review of and response to each Works Submittal, provided that if Project Co has made major changes to the grouping and volume of Works Submittals, such period of time shall be adjusted by Project Co, acting reasonably, taking into account the factors set forth in Section 2.1 of this Schedule 10.
2.3
Project Co shall, in scheduling Works Submittals and in the performance of the Project Operations, allow adequate time prior to performing the Project Operations that are the subject of the Works Submittals, for review of the Works Submittals and for Project Co to make changes to Works Submittals that may be required if comments are received on the Works Submittals, such review and required changes to be in accordance with Part A of this Schedule 10.
2.4
If the Works Schedule indicates that a large number of Works Submittals will be made at one time, the HMQ Representative may, at the HMQ Representative’s discretion, request a longer period for review or a staggering of the Works Submittals, and Project Co shall review and revise the Works Schedule accordingly, taking into account both the resources necessary to be available to the HMQ Representative to conduct such review and whether delay in the review of the subject matter of the Works Submittal shall have a material impact on Project Co’s ability to progress future anticipated Works Submittals and the Initial Works in accordance with the Works Schedule.

The HMQ Representative shall return Works Submittals to Project Co with a copy to the Independent Certifier and assign one of the following 3 comments:
(a)
“REVIEWED”;
(b)
“REVIEWED AS NOTED”; or
(c)
“REJECTED”.
4.2
The comment “REVIEWED” will be assigned to those Works Submittals that, in the opinion of the HMQ Representative, conform to the requirements of this Project Agreement. Project Co shall comply with and implement such Works Submittals.
4.3
The comment “REVIEWED AS NOTED” will be assigned to those Works Submittals that, in the opinion of the HMQ Representative, generally conform to the requirements of this Project Agreement, but in which immaterial deficiencies have been found by the HMQ Representative’s review. Project Co shall correct these Works Submittals and provide a copy of the corrected Works Submittals to the HMQ Representative. Project Co shall comply with and implement such Works Submittals after correction, including in accordance with the comments. If at any time it is discovered that Project Co has not corrected the deficiencies on Works Submittals stamped “REVIEWED AS NOTED”, then Project Co will be required to modify the Works Submittals and Project Operations, including the Parkway if applicable, as required to ensure that the Initial Works comply with the Output Specifications, any other applicable Schedule to the Project Agreement, and the Project Co Proposal Extracts and Project Co may be required, at the HMQ Representative’s discretion, to resubmit relevant Works Submittals.

No extension of time will be given or additional compensation paid in respect of any such modification or re-submittal.
4.5
Where the HMQ Representative issues the comment “REVIEWED AS NOTED” or “REJECTED”, the HMQ Representative shall provide reasons for the comment, referencing the particulars of the Section(s) of this Project Agreement that the Works Submittal fails to satisfy, and, if requested by the Project Co Representative, the HMQ Representative shall meet with the Project Co Representative to discuss the reasons for the comment.
