Article 2

RELATIONSHIP OF OWNER, CONTRACTOR AND SUBCONTRACTORS

2.1 Status of Contractor. The relationship of Contractor to Owner shall be that of an independent contractor. Any provisions of this Agreement which may appear to give Owner or the Owner Representative the right to direct or control Contractor as to details of performing the

Work, or to exercise any measure of control over the Work, shall be deemed to mean that Contractor shall follow the desires of Owner or the Owner Representative in the results of the Work only and not in the means by which the Work is to be accomplished, and Contractor shall have the complete right, obligation and authoritative control over the Work as to the manner, means or details as to how to perform the Work. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to create a master-servant or principal-agent relationship between Contractor, or any of its Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors, and Owner. Nevertheless, Contractor shall strictly comply with all provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the fact that Contractor is an independent contractor does not relieve it from its responsibility to fully, completely, timely and safely perform the Work in strict compliance with this Agreement.

2.2 Key Personnel, Organization Chart and Contractor Representative.

2.2.1. Key Personnel and Organization Chart. Attachment F sets forth Contractor’s organizational chart to be implemented for the Work and also contains a list of key personnel (“Key Personnel” or “Key Persons”) from Contractor’s organization who will be assigned to the Work. Owner shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time to request that Contractor replace any Key Person with another employee acceptable to Owner. Neither Owner’s request for removal of any Key Person or Owner’s approval of any Key Personnel shall relieve Contractor of its obligations under this Agreement. Except where a Key Person has retired, resigned (and not taken employment with any of the Affiliates of Contractor), or been terminated (and not taken employment with any of the Affiliates of Contractor) or is otherwise unavailable beyond the reasonable control of Contractor due to death, disability or serious illness, Contractor shall not remove or replace any Key Personnel without Owner’s express prior written approval. Furthermore, Owner and Contractor acknowledge and agree the continuity of the Key Personnel on this Project is a material requirement of this Agreement, and that replacement of a Key Person will be detrimental to the Owner and the overall quality of the Work.

2.2.2. Contractor Representative. Contractor designates Larry Jansen as the Contractor Representative. The Contractor Representative is a Key Person.

2.3 Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors. Owner acknowledges and agrees that Contractor intends to have portions of the Work accomplished by Subcontractors pursuant to written Subcontracts between Contractor and such Subcontractors, and that such Subcontractors may have certain portions of the Work performed by Sub-subcontractors. All Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors shall be reputable, qualified firms with an established record of successful performance in their respective trades performing identical or substantially similar work. All contracts with Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors shall be consistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. No Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor is intended to be or shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. Contractor shall be fully responsible to Owner for the acts and omissions of Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors and of Persons directly or indirectly employed by any of them, as Contractor is for the acts or omissions of Persons directly employed by Contractor. The work of any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor shall be subject to inspection by Owner, Lender or any of their representative to the same extent as the Work of Contractor. All Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors and their respective personnel are to be instructed by Contractor in the terms and requirements of Owner-approved

access, safety and environmental protection policies and procedures. In the event that any personnel do not adhere to such policies and procedures, such personnel shall be removed by Contractor. In no event shall Contractor be entitled to any adjustment of the Guaranteed Maximum Price or Milestone Dates as a result of compliance with such policies and procedures or any removal of personnel necessitated by non-compliance. Nothing contained herein shall create any contractual relationship between any Subcontractor and Owner, or between any Sub-subcontractor and Owner, or obligate Owner to pay any amounts of any nature to any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor.

2.4 Subcontracts and Sub-subcontracts.

2.4.1. Proposed Major Subcontractors and Major Sub-subcontractors.

2.4.1.1. Approvals. As a part of the Work, Contractor shall provide all necessary services related to the bidding of Major Subcontracts by new or replacement Major Subcontractors, including the following: (a) preparing lists of prospective bidders; (b) preparing proposed forms of Subcontract and purchase orders; (c) establishing bid schedules; (d) advertising for bids and developing bidder interest in the Project; (e) furnishing information concerning the Project to prospective bidders; (f) conducting pre-bid conferences; (g) receiving bids and analyzing bids; (h) investigating the acceptability and responsibility of Subcontractors and advising Owner of such evaluations; (i) negotiating with Subcontractors concerning any matter related to the Project; and (j) such other services required by Owner with respect to the bidding process. Within forty-five (45) Days after the Effective Date, Contractor shall submit its procurement process to Owner for approval, which at a minimum shall include a requirement to obtain at least three (3) bids from three competitive bidders for each portion of the Work that is awarded to a Major Subcontractor to the extent commercially available, provided that no such procurement process is required for the Subcontractors listed in Attachment G. Contractor shall be responsible for Major Subcontractor bid solicitation, scope confirmation, and bid evaluation and shall keep all bids, scoping documents and evaluations in an organized format and available to Owner at any time. Contractor shall prepare, on a form acceptable to Owner, an Owner authorization sheet which summarizes Contractor’s proposed award to a Major Subcontractor. Contractor shall obtain Owner authorization prior to the award of any Major Subcontract (unless such Major Subcontract is with a Subcontractor listed in Attachment G, as such Subcontractors have already been approved), but such Owner approval shall not relieve Contractor of its responsibility of Subcontractors. Contractor shall also ensure that all Major Subcontractors include in their Subcontracts with Major Sub-subcontractors the requirements in this Section 2.4.1.1.

2.4.2. Selection. Subject to the terms of Section 2.4.1.1, in the event that Contractor is considering the selection of a Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor that would qualify as a Major Subcontractor or Major Sub-subcontractor, or is considering replacing a Major Subcontractor or Major Sub-subcontractor, Contractor shall (i) notify Owner of its proposed Major Subcontractor or Major Sub-subcontractor as soon as possible during the

selection process and furnish to Owner all information reasonably requested by Owner with respect to Contractor’s selection criteria (including copies of bid packages furnished to prospective Major Subcontractors and Major Sub-subcontractors and the qualifications and responding bids of the proposed Major Subcontractors or Major Sub-subcontractors), and (ii) notify Owner no less than fifteen (15) Days prior to the execution of a Major Subcontract with a Major Subcontractor or Major Sub-subcontract. Owner shall have the discretion, not to be unreasonably exercised, to reject any proposed Major Subcontractor or Major Sub-subcontractor for a Major Subcontract or Major Sub-subcontract. Contractor shall not enter into any Major Subcontract with a proposed Major Subcontractor or Major Sub-subcontract with a Major Sub-subcontractor that is rejected by Owner in accordance with the preceding sentence. Owner shall undertake in good faith to review the information provided by Contractor pursuant to this Section 2.4.2 expeditiously and shall notify Contractor of its decision to accept or reject a proposed Major Subcontractor or Major Sub-subcontractor as soon as practicable after such decision is made. Failure of Owner to accept a proposed Major Subcontractor or Major Sub-subcontractor within fifteen (15) Days shall be deemed to be acceptance of such Major Subcontractor or Major Sub-subcontractor.

2.4.3. Other Additional Proposed Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors. For any Subcontractor not covered by Section 2.4.1, Contractor shall, within fifteen (15) Days prior to the selection of any such Subcontractor, notify Owner in writing of the selection of such Subcontractor and inform Owner generally what portion of the Work such Subcontractor is performing at the Site.

2.4.4. Delivery of Major Subcontracts and Major Sub-subcontracts. Contractor shall furnish Owner with a copy of all Major Subcontracts and Major Sub-subcontracts within ten (10) Days after execution thereof and, within ten (10) Days of Owner’s request, furnish Owner with a copy of any other Subcontracts or Sub-subcontracts. Notwithstanding the above, Owner’s receipt and review of any Subcontracts or Sub-subcontracts shall not relieve the Contractor of any obligations under this Agreement nor shall such action constitute a waiver of any right or duty afforded Owner under this Agreement, or approval of or acquiescence in a breach hereunder.

2.4.5. Terms of Major Subcontracts and Major Sub-subcontracts. In addition to the requirements in Section 2.3 and without in any way relieving Contractor of its full responsibility to Owner for the acts and omissions of Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors, each Major Subcontract and each Major Sub-subcontract shall contain the following provisions:

2.4.5.1. the Major Subcontract and the Major Sub-subcontract may be assigned to Owner without the consent of the respective Major Subcontractor or Major Sub-subcontractor; and

2.4.5.2. the Major Subcontractor and the Major Sub-subcontractor shall comply with and perform for the benefit of Owner all requirements and obligations of Contractor to Owner under this Agreement, as such requirements and obligations are applicable to the performance of the work under the respective Major Subcontract or Major Sub-subcontract, including the competitive bidding

process for Major Subcontractors in substance the same as that included in Section 2.4.1.1, an indemnity in substance the same as that included in Article 17, and the insurance requirements specified in Article 10.

5.4.3. Approval of Baseline CPM Schedule and Updates to CPM Schedule. Owner’s review and approval, or lack of review or approval, of the baseline CPM Schedule and any updated CPM Schedule shall not relieve Contractor of any obligations for the performance of the Work, change the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date or the Guaranteed Final Completion Date, nor shall it be construed to establish the reasonableness of the CPM Schedule. Notwithstanding any approval by Owner of the baseline CPM Schedule or any updated CPM Schedule, Owner shall be entitled to reasonably rely upon the baseline CPM Schedule and any updates to the CPM Schedule, including reliance that Contractor has developed a comprehensive, reasonable and accurate schedule to complete the Work within the times set forth in the Milestone Dates.

5.4.4. Two Week Look-ahead Schedule. During the period commencing upon issuance of the NTP and ending upon Substantial Completion, Contractor shall submit to Owner on a weekly basis a two (2) week look-ahead schedule (“Two Week Look-ahead Schedule”), which shall be based on the CPM Schedule showing in detail the activities to be performed during the next fourteen (14) Days, and shall meet all other requirements of an updated CPM Schedule as described in Section 5.4.2. The Two Week Look-ahead Schedule shall be submitted to Owner in its native electronic format.

5.4.5. Default. If Contractor fails to comply with its scheduling obligations under this Agreement, including those set forth in this Section 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6, Owner may withhold any and all further payments otherwise owing Contractor until such failure is corrected.

5.5 Recovery and Recovery Schedule. If, at any time (i) the CPM Schedule shows that any activity on a critical path of the CPM Schedule is delayed such that Substantial Completion is forecasted to occur ten (10) or more Days after the applicable Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date or a Milestone is forecasted to occur ten (10) or more Days after the applicable Milestone Date, (ii) Contractor fails to provide a current updated CPM Schedule in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement and Owner reasonably determines that any activity on a critical path is delayed such that Substantial Completion is forecasted to occur ten (10) or more Days after the applicable Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date or a Milestone is forecasted to occur ten (10) or more Days after the applicable Milestone Date or (iii) Contractor fails to achieve a Milestone within ten (10) Days after the applicable Milestone Date, and, in each such circumstance, Contractor or any of its Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors are responsible for such delay, then Owner may order that Contractor provide a recovery schedule (“Recovery Schedule”) for Owner’s written approval as soon as reasonably possible, but no later than ten (10)

Business Days after such order. If Owner disapproves the Recovery Schedule then Contractor shall, as soon as reasonably possible, but no later than ten (10) Business Days after such disapproval, provide a new Recovery Schedule for Owner’s written approval. The Recovery Schedule shall (a) represent Contractor’s best judgment as to how it shall regain compliance with the Milestone Dates, within a time period acceptable to Owner and (b) include detailed information (in at least the same level of detail as the Milestone Dates) in a form reasonably satisfactory to Owner to demonstrate the ability of Contractor to regain compliance with the Milestone Dates within a time period acceptable to Owner.

5.6 Acceleration. Owner may, at any time, direct Contractor pursuant to a Change Order under Section 6.1 to accelerate the Work, by among other things, establishing additional shifts, paying or authorizing overtime or providing additional equipment. In the event of any such directive, Owner’s sole liability shall be to pay Contractor any documented costs clearly and solely attributable to such acceleration. Such costs shall include to Contractor any shift differential, premium, or overtime payments to workers or field supervisors and other employees of Contractor dedicated to the Work on a full-time basis actually incurred over and above Contractor’s normal rates, inefficiency related costs caused by such acceleration, and overtime charges for Construction Equipment. Any adjustment to the Guaranteed Maximum Price or any other Changed Criteria that the Parties agree will be changed by such acceleration for Owner’s acceleration of the Work shall be implemented by Change Order.

Article 6

CHANGES; FORCE MAJEURE; AND OWNER-CAUSED DELAY

6.1 Change Orders Requested by Owner. Owner shall be entitled to a Change Order upon request in accordance with this Section 6.1.

6.1.1. If Owner submits to Contractor in writing a duly signed proposed Change Order, Contractor must respond to Owner within ten (10) Business Days with a written statement setting forth the effect, if any, which such proposed Change Order would have on the Guaranteed Maximum Price, the Design Basis, the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date or Guaranteed Final Completion Date or any other obligation or potential liability of Contractor hereunder (collectively or individually, the “Changed Criteria”). The written statement shall be in the form of Schedule D-3, and shall include all information required by Section 6.5.2.

6.1.2. If the Parties agree on such Changed Criteria of the proposed Change Order (or modify such Change Order so that the Parties agree on such Changed Criteria), the Parties shall execute such Change Order, which shall be in the form of Schedule D-1 and such Change Order shall become binding on the Parties, as part of this Agreement. An adjustment to the Guaranteed Maximum Price, if any, resulting from Owner’s proposed Change Order, unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, shall be an increase by an amount equal to Contractor’s reasonable and documented additional costs, net of any cost savings or, to the extent that the cost savings are greater than the additional costs associated with effecting Owner’s proposed Change Order, a decrease by an amount equal to Contractor’s net cost savings associated with effecting Owner’s proposed Change Order.

6.1.3. If the Parties cannot agree on such Changed Criteria of the proposed Change Order within ten (10) Business Days of Contractor’s receipt of Owner’s proposed Change Order, or if Owner desires that the proposed changed Work set forth in the proposed Change Order commence immediately without the requirement of a written statement by Contractor as required under Section 6.1.1, Owner may, by issuance of a unilateral Change Order in the form attached hereto as Schedule D-2, require Contractor to commence and perform the changed Work specified in the unilateral Change Order, on a time and materials basis using the rates set forth in Attachment C, with the effect of such unilateral Change Order on the Changed Criteria (or if the Parties agree on the effect of such unilateral Change Order for some but not all of the Changed Criteria, the impact of each of the components of the Changed Criteria on which the Parties disagree) to be determined as soon as possible, or (ii) in accordance with the outcome of the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article 18; provided, however, that Contractor shall perform the Work as specified in such unilateral Change Order and Owner shall continue to pay Contractor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any previously agreed Change Orders pending resolution of the dispute. When Owner and Contractor agree on the effect of such unilateral Change Order on all of the Changed Criteria, such agreement shall be recorded by execution by the Parties of a Change Order in the form attached hereto as Schedule D-1, which shall supersede the unilateral Change Order previously issued and relating to such changed Work. Contractor shall be considered to be in Default under Section 16.1 should it (i) fail to commence the performance of the changed Work or other obligations required in such unilateral Change Order within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such unilateral Change Order (or within such other time specified in such unilateral Change Order) or (ii) fail to diligently perform the changed Work or other obligations required in such unilateral Change Order.

6.1.4. If Owner omits Work by a Change Order, Owner may subsequently perform such Work itself or have it carried out by other contractors, provided however to the extent such omission of Work materially and adversely impacts Contractor’s material obligations under this Agreement (including by way of example and not limitation, achievement of the Minimum Acceptance Criteria), such adverse impact shall be addressed in the Change Order capturing such omission which may include an extension of time and costs arising from omission of Work as applicable. In determining the amount to be deducted from the Guaranteed Maximum Price for any change that results in a reduction in the scope of Work, thereby resulting in a new, reduced Guaranteed Maximum Price, such deduction will include a reduction in (and the Guaranteed Maximum Price shall be reduced by) the value of the scope of Work being omitted and the Overhead Fee and the Contractor’s Fee on such value of scope of Work.

6.2 Change Orders Requested by Contractor.

6.2.1. Contractor shall only have the right to a Change Order in the event of any of the following occurrences:

6.2.1.1. Changes in Law that materially and adversely affect Contractor’s actual cost (which costs including Overhead Fee and Contractor’s Fee shall be adequately documented and supported) of performance of the Work or

ability to perform any material requirement under this Agreement, and with respect to any delays (as that term is defined in Section 6.9) caused by such Changes in Law, a time extension to the Milestone Dates to the extent allowed under Section 6.8;

6.2.1.2. Acts or omissions of Owner including Owner caused delays that constitute a material breach of this Agreement by Owner and materially and adversely affect Contractor’s actual cost (which costs shall be adequately documented and supported) of performance of the Work or ability to perform any material requirement under this Agreement and, with respect to delays caused by Owner that constitute a material breach of this Agreement by Owner, compensation and a time extension to the Mechanical Completion, Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date and Final Completion Date to the extent allowed under Section 6.8;

6.2.1.3. Force Majeure to the extent allowed under Section 6.7.1;

6.2.1.4. Acceleration of the Work ordered by Owner pursuant to Section 5.6, provided that a Change Order has been issued by Owner pursuant to Section 6.1;

6.2.1.5. To the extent expressly permitted under Section 13.2.1 or 3.18;

6.2.1.6. Unforeseen Subsurface Conditions at the Site to the extent allowed under Section 2.5.2.2;

6.2.1.7. Purchase of operating spare parts in accordance with Section 3.4;

6.2.1.8. Suspension in Work ordered by Owner pursuant to Section 16.3 to the extent allowed thereunder;

6.2.1.9. Owner’s request for an increase in coverage under the Letter of Credit to cover any increase in the Contract Price as a result of Change Orders, provided that a Change Order for such increased coverage has been executed;

6.2.1.10. Changes in the applicable […***…] that become effective after the Effective Date of the Agreement; and

6.2.1.11. Owner requiring Contractor to perform work specifically excluded in Contractor’s Exclusions listed in Section H of Attachment A or Owner’s failure to meet the conditions specified in Contractor’s Clarifications listed in Section I of Attachment A.

6.2.2. Should Contractor desire to request a Change Order under this Section 6.2, Contractor shall, pursuant to Section 6.5, notify Owner in writing and issue to Owner a request for a proposed Change Order in the form attached hereto as Schedule D-3, a

detailed explanation of the proposed change and Contractor’s reasons for proposing the change, all documentation necessary to verify the effects of the change on the Changed Criteria, and all other information required by Section 6.5.

6.2.3. If Owner agrees that a Change Order is necessary and agrees with Contractor’s statement regarding the effect of the proposed Change Order on the Changed Criteria, then Owner shall issue such Change Order, which shall be in the form of Schedule D-1, and such Change Order shall become binding on the Parties as part of this Agreement upon execution thereof by the Parties.

6.2.4. If the Parties agree that Contractor is entitled to a Change Order but cannot agree on the effect of the proposed Change Order on the Changed Criteria within ten (10) Business Days of Owner’s receipt of Contractor’s written notice and proposed Change Order and all other required information, or if Owner desires that the proposed changed Work set forth in the proposed Change Order commence immediately, the rights, obligations and procedures set forth in Section 6.1.3 are applicable.

6.2.5. If the Parties cannot agree upon whether Contractor is entitled to a Change Order within ten (10) Business Days of Owner’s receipt of Contractor’s written notice and proposed Change Order, then the dispute shall be resolved as provided in Article 18. Pending resolution of the dispute, Contractor shall continue to perform the Work required under this Agreement, and Owner shall continue to pay Contractor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, any Change Orders and any previously agreed or unilateral Change Orders.

6.3 Compensation Adjustment; Contractor Documentation. If a Change Order is executed on a time and materials basis pursuant to Section 6.1.3 or 6.2.4, then the Guaranteed Maximum Price shall be adjusted using rates set forth in Attachment C, or, if not therein, at rates not to exceed then current market rates. Contractor shall use reasonable efforts to minimize such costs (consistent with the requirements of this Agreement) and shall provide Owner with options for reducing such costs whenever possible. The foregoing costs shall be supported by reasonable documentation, including daily work logs, time sheets and receipts.

6.4 Change Orders Act as Accord and Satisfaction. Change Orders agreed pursuant to Section 6.1.2 or 6.2.3 by the Parties, and unilateral Change Orders entered into pursuant to Section 6.1.3 or 6.2.4 on a time and materials basis for which the Parties have subsequently agreed upon the effect of such unilateral Change Order and executed a superseding and mutually agreed upon Change Order as provided in Section 6.1.2 or 6.2.3, shall constitute a full and final settlement and accord and satisfaction of all effects of the change as described in the Change Order upon the Changed Criteria and shall be deemed to compensate Contractor fully for such change. Accordingly, Contractor expressly waives and releases any and all right to make a claim or demand or to take any action or proceeding against Owner for any other consequences arising out of, relating to, or resulting from such change reflected in such Change Order, whether the consequences result directly or indirectly from such change reflected in such Change Order, including any claim or demand for damages due to delay, disruption, hindrance, impact, interference, inefficiencies or extra work arising out of, resulting from, or related to, the change

reflected in that Change Order (including any claims or demands that any Change Order or number of Change Orders, individually or in the aggregate, have impacted the unchanged Work).

6.5 Timing Requirements for Notifications and Change Order Requests by Contractor. Should Contractor desire to seek an adjustment to the Guaranteed Maximum Price, the Milestone Dates, the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date or the Guaranteed Final Completion Date, the Payment Schedule, any of the Minimum Acceptance Criteria, or any other modification to any other obligation of Contractor under this Agreement for any circumstance that Contractor has reason to believe may give rise to a right to request the issuance of a Change Order, Contractor shall, with respect to each such circumstance:

6.5.1. Notify Owner in writing of the existence of such circumstance within fifteen (15) Days of the date that Contractor knew or reasonably should have known of the first occurrence or beginning of such circumstance, provided that such notice shall be given prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) Day period should any action or inaction by Owner or Contractor be required or necessary in relation to such circumstance to prevent or mitigate any damages or losses to either Party. If any such action or inaction is required, Contractor shall give notice within five (5) Days, unless such circumstance is an emergency in which case notice shall be given immediately. In such notice, Contractor shall state in detail all known and presumed facts upon which its claim is based, including the character, duration and extent of such circumstance, the date Contractor first knew of such circumstance, any activities impacted by such circumstance, the cost and time consequences of such circumstance (including showing the impact of such circumstance, if any, on the critical path of the CPM Schedule) and any other details or information that are expressly required under this Agreement. Contractor shall only be required to comply with the notice requirements of this Section 6.5.1 once for continuing circumstances, provided the notice expressly states that the circumstance is continuing and includes Contractor’s best estimate of the impact on any Changed Criteria by such circumstance; and

6.5.2. Submit to Owner a request for a proposed Change Order as soon as reasonably practicable after giving Owner the written notice described above but in no event later than ten (10) Days after such notice, together with a written statement (i) detailing why Contractor believes that a Change Order should be issued, plus all documentation reasonably requested by or necessary for Owner to determine the factors necessitating the possibility of a Change Order and all other information and details expressly required under this Agreement (including the information required by Attachment C, detailed estimates and cost records, daily time sheets, a graphic demonstration using the CPM Schedule and a time impact analysis showing Contractor’s entitlement to a time extension to the Milestone Dates pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, which shall be provided in hard copy and in its native electronic format); and (ii) setting forth the effect, if any, which such proposed Change Order would have for the Work on any of the Changed Criteria.

The Parties acknowledge that Owner will be prejudiced if Contractor fails to provide the notices and proposed Change Orders as required under this Section 6.5, and agree that such requirements are an express condition precedent necessary to any right for an adjustment

in the Guaranteed Maximum Price, the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date or Guaranteed Final Completion Date, Payment Schedule, any Work, any of the Minimum Acceptance Criteria, or any other modification to any other obligation of Contractor under this Agreement.

6.6 Adjustment Only Through Change Order. No change in the requirements of this Agreement, whether an addition to, deletion from, suspension of or modification to this Agreement, including any Work, shall be the basis for an adjustment for any change in the Guaranteed Maximum Price, the Milestone Dates (including the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date or Guaranteed Final Completion Date), any Work, the Payment Schedule, any of the Minimum Acceptance Criteria, or any other obligations of Contractor or right of Owner under this Agreement unless and until such addition, deletion, suspension or modification has been authorized by a Change Order executed and issued in accordance with and in strict compliance with the requirements of this Article 6.

6.7 Force Majeure.

6.7.1. Contractor Relief. If the commencement, prosecution or completion of any Work is delayed by Force Majeure, then Contractor shall be entitled to (i) an extension to the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date if such delay affects the performance of any Work that is on the critical path of the CPM Schedule and causes Contractor to complete the Work beyond the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date, but only if Contractor is unable to proceed with other portions of the Work so as not to cause a delay in the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date, or (ii) […***…], and, in each case, Contractor complies with the notice and Change Order request requirements in Section 6.5 and the mitigation requirements in Section 6.10. Any adjustment to the […***…] and Milestone Dates shall be recorded in a Change Order.

6.7.2. Payment and Indemnification Obligations. No obligation of a Party to pay moneys under or pursuant to this Agreement or to provide indemnification under this Agreement shall be excused by reason of Force Majeure.

6.8 Delay Caused by Certain Conditions. Should (a) (i) Owner or any Person acting on behalf of or under the control of Owner (other than any Contractor Indemnified Party) delay the commencement, prosecution or completion of the Work, (ii) Owner fail to meet any of its material responsibilities when required including by way of example and not limitation late delivery of Owner Supplied Equipment, plans, or specifications, (iii) provide inaccurate plans or specifications related to Owner Supplied Equipment, (iv) Owner or Owner parties fail to obtain necessary rights of access to the worksite, (v) there be a failure of other providers of the Owner to complete work which is a prerequisite to the performance of the work by Contractor as specified in this Agreement, (vi) there be defects in Owner-Supplied Items, or (vii) there be delays caused by Owner’s occupancy or use of the Work pursuant to Section 12.7, and, for each of the circumstances described in subsections (i) through (vii), if such delay is not in any way attributable to Contractor or its Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors but is caused by Owner’s breach of an express obligation of Owner under this Agreement, or, should (b) Owner order a change in the Scope of the Work (provided that a Change Order has been issued in accordance with Section 6.1); (c) Owner suspend the Work for which Contractor is entitled to relief under Section 6.2.1.8; (d) a

Change in Law occur for which Contractor is entitled to relief under Section 6.2.1.1; (e) Unforeseen Subsurface Conditions occur for which Contractor is entitled to relief under Section 2.5.2.2; (f) there be a failure to achieve the Minimum Acceptance Criteria for which Contractor is entitled to relief under Section 12.4.1.2; or (g) an event occurs that entitles Contractor to a Change Order pursuant to Section 6.2.1.11, in each case, delay commencement, prosecution or completion of the Work, then Contractor shall be entitled to an adjustment to the Guaranteed Maximum Price and an extension to the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date if (i) such delay affects the performance of any Work that is on the critical path of the CPM Schedule, and (ii) such delay causes Contractor to complete the Work beyond the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date, and, in each case, Contractor complies with the notice and Change Order request requirements in Section 6.5 and the mitigation requirements of Section 6.10. Any adjustment to the Guaranteed Maximum Price shall be for reasonable, additional direct costs incurred by Contractor for such delay meeting the requirements of this Section 6.8, and any adjustments to the Guaranteed Maximum Price or the Milestone Dates shall be recorded in a Change Order. The Parties agree that if they execute a Change Order with respect to any change in the Scope of Work described in this Section 6.8, any delay arising out of such change in the Scope of Work and meeting the requirements of this Section 6.8 shall be included in the Change Order incorporating such change in the Scope of Work.

6.9 Delay. For the purposes of Sections 6.2.1.1, 6.2.1.2, 6.7 and 6.8, the term “delay” shall include hindrances, disruptions or obstructions, or any other similar term in the industry and the resulting impact from such hindrances, disruptions or obstructions, including inefficiency, impact, ripple or lost production.

6.10 Contractor Obligation to Mitigate Delay. With respect to Sections 6.7 and 6.8, in no event shall Contractor be entitled to any adjustment to the Milestone Dates or any adjustment to the Guaranteed Maximum Price for that portion of delay to the extent Contractor could have taken, but failed to take, reasonable actions to mitigate such delay.

Lien Waivers upon Progress Payment, however, shall not be required from Major Subcontractors or Major Sub-subcontractors until they have performed Work, and Major Subcontractors and Major Sub-subcontractors shall be required to submit additional Lien Waivers upon Progress Payment only if they have performed Work not covered by a previous Lien Waiver upon Progress Payment. Submission of all Lien Waivers upon Progress Payment is a condition precedent to payment of any Invoice.

7.8.5. Review and Approval. Each Invoice shall be reviewed by Owner and, upon Owner’s reasonable request, Contractor shall furnish such supporting documentation and certificates and provide such further information as may be reasonably requested by Owner.

No later than thirty (30) Days after receipt by Owner of such final Invoice and all requested documentation and achieving Final Completion, Owner shall, subject to its rights to withhold payment under this Agreement, pay Contractor the remaining Compensation due under this Agreement and properly invoiced. Upon such payment, Contractor shall submit to Owner an unconditional fully executed Lien and Claim Waiver upon Final Payment in the form of Schedule K-3.

7.10 Payments Not Acceptance of Work. No payment made hereunder by Owner shall be considered as approval or acceptance of any Work by Owner or a waiver of any claim or right Owner may have hereunder. All payments shall be subject to correction or adjustment in subsequent payments.

7.11 Payments Withheld. In addition to disputed amounts set forth in an Invoice, any other rights under this Agreement, and any other rights at law or in equity, Owner may withhold

payment on an Invoice or a portion thereof in an amount and to such extent as may be reasonably necessary to protect Owner from loss due to (i) Defective Work not remedied in accordance with this Agreement; (ii) any material breach by Contractor of any term or provision of this Agreement; (iii) Contractor’s failure to submit any schedule required under this Agreement in accordance with the Agreement (including Recovery Schedules, Corrective Work plans and CPM Schedules); (iv) the assessment of any fines or penalties against Owner as a result of Contractor’s failure to comply with Applicable Law or Applicable Codes and Standards; (v) amounts paid by Owner to Contractor in a preceding Month incorrectly or for which there was insufficient or inaccurate supporting information; (vi) Delay Liquidated Damages which Contractor owes; (vii) failure of Contractor to make payments to Subcontractors as required under their respective Subcontracts; (viii) any other costs or liabilities which Owner has incurred or will incur for which Contractor is responsible; (ix) liens or other encumbrances on all or a portion of the Site or the Work, which are filed by any Subcontractor, any Sub-subcontractor or any other Person acting through or under any of them, unless discharged by Contractor in accordance with this Agreement, excluding liens resulting from Owner’s failure to make undisputed payments to Contractor that are due and payable and for which Owner does not have a right to withhold in accordance with the payment terms of this Agreement; or (x) any other reason for which Owner is entitled to withhold payment as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

7.12 Interest on Late Payments. Any amounts not paid when due and payable hereunder shall […***…].

7.13 Payments During Default. Owner shall not be obligated to make any payments hereunder or release payments withheld, at any time in which (i) a Contractor Default shall have occurred and is continuing, or (ii) an event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, will constitute a Contractor Default.

7.14 Offset. Owner may, upon prior written notice to Contractor, offset any amount due and payable from Contractor to Owner against any amount due and payable to Contractor hereunder.

7.15 Payment of Amounts Withheld or Collected on the Letter of Credit.

In the event Owner draws down or collects any amount on the Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section, and Contractor acts in accordance with either (i), (ii) or (iii) above so as to require payment from Owner, Contractor shall, within seven (7) Days of Owner’s payment to Contractor, restore the Letter of Credit to the amount the Letter of Credit had immediately prior to Owner’s collection on the Letter of Credit under this Section. Owner’s failure to withhold or draw down or collect against the Letter of Credit in the event of any of the circumstances described in this Section 7.15 shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of Owner’s rights under this Agreement, including Owner’s right to withhold or draw down on the Letter of Credit at any time one of the circumstances in Section 7.11(i) through 7.11(ix) exists.

7.16 Conditions Precedent to Payment. It shall be a condition precedent to Contractor’s entitlement to receive any payment from Owner under this Agreement that Contractor has provided to Owner (i) the Parent Guarantee in accordance with Section 21.13, (ii) the insurance certificates for policies referenced in Section 10.1, and (iii) is maintaining the insurance policies in accordance with Section 10.1. Additionally, it shall be a condition precedent to Contractor’s entitlement to receive any payment from Owner under this Agreement after NTP that Contractor has provided to Owner the Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 10.2 and, if applicable, restored the Letter of Credit as required by Section 7.15.

7.17 […***…].

Article 8

Taxes

8.1 California Taxes. Contractor shall be responsible for timely paying all such Taxes as well as California sales and use taxes and California value-added taxes; provided, however, that California sales and use taxes and California value-added taxes are excluded from the GMP. Owner shall, in accordance with Article 7, reimburse Contractor for California sales and use taxes and California value-added taxes imposed on Contractor directly resulting from the procurement of any Equipment as well as any interest or penalties which may be imposed by a Governmental Instrumentality at any time on Contractor due to Owner’s failure to timely reimburse Contractor for such California sales and use taxes and California value-added taxes. Owner’s obligation shall survive termination or completion of the Agreement and shall end only upon the completion of any time period allowed for audit or investigation by applicable Governmental Instrumentalities. To the extent Owner timely reimburses Contractor for all such California sales and use taxes and California value-added taxes for Equipment, (1) Contractor shall release Owner of any further obligations for payment of such California sales and use taxes and California value-added taxes and (2) Contractor shall be responsible for the payment of any interest or penalties related to Contractor’s failure to timely pay such California sales and use taxes and California value-added taxes. Owner and Contractor will provide documents, information and data, make submission to Governmental Instrumentalities, and otherwise cooperate as reasonably necessary to minimize the amount of California sales and use taxes and California value-added taxes payable for the Equipment. In the event that Contractor is audited for California sales and use taxes or California value-added taxes for the Equipment, Contractor shall timely inform Owner of such audit, allow Owner to assist with audit strategy and, at Owner’s expense, allow Owner to take responsibility for defending the audit, protest or appeal based on mutually satisfactory arrangements. Contractor shall reasonably cooperate with Owner to assist in attempting to allocate local and district California sales and use taxes to the Site (which may include Contractor applying for a jobsite sub-permit), including reasonable assistance in causing local California sales and use taxes to be assigned to the Site rather than to Contractor’s (or any Subcontractor’s or Sub-subcontractor’s) regular place of business in California. Contractor will reasonably cooperate with any joint refund claim that Owner, or its agents, wishes to file for potentially overpaid California sales and use taxes or California value-added taxes up to a period of three (3) years after Substantial Completion or until the running of the applicable statute of limitations, whichever is longer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Owner presents Contractor with evidence that it has an abatement of such

California sales and use tax, then Contractor shall not invoice Owner for such tax, and Owner shall have no obligation to pay such tax.

Article 9

TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS

9.1 Title. Title to all or any portion of the Work (other than Work Product) shall pass to Owner upon the earlier of (i) payment by Owner therefor, (ii) delivery of the Work to the Site, or (iii) incorporation of such Work into the Project. Transfer of title to Work shall be without prejudice to Owner’s right to reject Defective Work, or any other right in the Agreement. Contractor warrants and guarantees that legal title to and ownership of the Work and the Project shall be free and clear of any and all liens, claims, security interests or other encumbrances when title thereto passes to Owner.

9.2 Risk of Loss. Notwithstanding passage of title as provided in Section 9.1 of this Agreement, Contractor shall have care, custody and control and bear the risk of loss to the Work and each component thereof (including all Owner-Supplied Items after delivery to the Site, and including unloading of all Equipment) until Substantial Completion of the Work occurs, provided that Owner shall bear risk of physical loss and damage to the Work to the extent the costs associated with such physical loss or damage exceeds the aggregate limits of the builder’s risk insurance to be obtained by Owner pursuant to Attachment O. Nothing in this Section 9.2 shall be interpreted to relieve Contractor of any of its other obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, including its obligations with respect to Warranties, Defective Work or Corrective Work.

Article 10

INSURANCE

10.1 Insurance.

10.1.1. Provision of Insurance. The Parties shall provide the insurance as specified in Attachment O on terms and conditions stated therein.

10.1.2. No Cancellation.

10.1.3. Obligations Not Relieved. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the occurrence of any of the following shall in no way relieve Contractor from any of its obligations under this Agreement: (i) failure by Contractor to secure or maintain the insurance coverage required hereunder; (ii) failure by Contractor to comply fully with any of the insurance provisions of this Agreement; (iii) failure by Contractor to secure such endorsements on the policies as may be necessary to carry out the terms and provisions of this Agreement; (iv) the insolvency, bankruptcy or failure of any insurance company providing insurance to Contractor; (v) failure of any insurance company to pay

any claim accruing under its policy; or (vi) losses by Contractor or any of its Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors not covered by insurance policies.

10.1.4. Failure to Provide Required Insurance. In the event that liability for any loss or damage is denied by the underwriter or underwriters in whole or in part due to the breach of said insurance by a procuring Party, or for any other reason attributable to such Party, or if either Party fails to maintain any of the insurance herein required, then the defaulting Party shall defend, indemnify and hold the other Party harmless against all losses which would otherwise have been covered by said insurance.

10.2 Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit. Within forty-eight hours after Contractor receives evidence that an Automatic Clearing House directive has been issued to Contractor’s account for an amount equal to the Mobilization Payment, and as a condition precedent to Contractor’s right to receive any further payments, Contractor shall deliver to Owner an irrevocable standby letter of credit, naming Owner as beneficiary, in the amount of […***…] of the Guaranteed Maximum Price and in the form of Attachment AA, and issued and confirmed by a commercial bank in the United States of America with a long-term rating of at least Investment Grade (“Letter of Credit”). As used herein, “Investment Grade” means a rating of at least AA by Standard & Poor’s and at least Aa2 by Moody’s Investors Service. If at any time the rating of the commercial bank that issued the Letter of Credit falls below either of such ratings, Contractor shall replace the Letter of Credit within ten (10) Days with an equivalent instrument issued by a commercial bank in the United States of America meeting such rating requirements. Owner shall have the right to draw down on or collect against such Letter of Credit upon Owner’s demand in the event of a Default by Contractor or the owing by Contractor to Owner under this Agreement for Delay Liquidated Damages or any other liabilities, damages, losses, costs or expenses arising out of or relating to a breach of any obligation under this Agreement by Contractor or such Default. The amount drawn on the Letter of Credit shall not be greater than the amount that Owner, at the time of the drawing, reasonably and in good faith estimates is owed it under the Agreement for Delay Liquidated Damages, liabilities, damages, losses, costs or expenses or is necessary to remedy the Default or breach of the Agreement. In addition to the foregoing draw rights, (i) Owner shall also have the right to draw down on or collect against the Letter of Credit for all remaining funds in the Letter of Credit upon Owner’s demand if Contractor has not, prior to sixty (60) Days before the then current expiration date, delivered to Owner a replacement letter of credit substantially identical to the Letter of Credit and from a U.S. commercial bank meeting the requirements in this Section 10.2 and extending the expiration date for the shorter of (a) a period of one (1) year or (b) the expiration of the Defect Correction Period (i.e., the twelve (12) month period following Substantial Completion and any extension pursuant to Section 13.3.2), and (ii) Owner shall also have the right to draw down on or collect against the Letter of Credit for all remaining funds available under such Letter of Credit upon Owner’s demand if the issuing bank is no longer Investment Grade and Contractor has not, within the applicable time period set forth in this Section 10.2, delivered to Owner a replacement letter of credit substantially identical to the Letter of Credit from a U.S. commercial bank meeting the requirements set forth in this Section 10.2.

The amount of the Letter of Credit […***…].

The Letter of Credit shall remain in full force and effect from the issuance of the Letter of Credit through the expiration of the Defect Correction Period for all Work, at which time the Letter of Credit will be returned to Contractor. No later than ten (10) Days following the expiration of the Defect Correction Period for all Work (i.e. the twelve (12) month period following Substantial Completion), Owner shall provide the commercial bank that issued the Letter of Credit with written notice of the expiration of the Defect Correction Period for all Work, unless, at the conclusion of this period, any of Contractor’s Work remains subject to an extended warranty pursuant to Section 13.3.2, in which case to the Letter of Credit shall reduce to an amount equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the value of the Work remaining under the extended Defect Correction Period, and no later than ten (10) Days after expiration of such extended time, Owner shall provide the commercial bank that issued the Letter of Credit with written notice of the expiration of the Defect Correction Period for all Work. Partial drawings are permitted under the Letter of Credit.

10.3 Financial Statements and Material Adverse Change.

10.3.1. Financial Statements. As and when Owner may reasonably request for a fiscal quarter or year-end financial statement, Contractor shall deliver to Owner available audited and unaudited consolidating and consolidated balance sheets of each of Contractor and Guarantor as of the end of such quarter or year-end, and the related consolidated statements of operations, income, cash flows, retained earnings and stockholders’ equity for such quarter or year, all of which shall be certified by the chief financial officer or equivalent officer of each of Contractor and Guarantor, subject to normal year-end audit adjustments. All financial statements delivered pursuant to this Section 10.3.1 shall be complete and correct in all material respects and shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods reflected therein.

11.1 Ownership of Work Product. Subject to Section 11.2, Owner and Contractor acknowledge that during the course of, and as a result of, the performance of the Work and prior work related to the Project done by Contractor for Owner, Contractor or its Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors will create or have created for this Project certain written materials, plans, calculations, Drawings (including as-built Drawings), Specifications, Books and Records, computer files, or other tangible manifestations of Contractor’s efforts related to the Project (hereinafter individually or collectively referred to as “Work Product”). Work Product prepared by Contractor or its Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors shall be “works made for hire,” and all rights, title and interest to the Work Product, including any and all copyrights in the Work Product, shall be owned by Owner irrespective of any copyright notices or confidentiality legends to the

contrary which may have been placed in or on such Work Product by Contractor, its Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors or any other Person. Contractor and its Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors waive in whole all moral rights which may be associated with such Work Product. If, for any reason, any part of or all of the Work Product is not considered a work made for hire for Owner or if ownership of all right, title and interest in the Work Product shall not otherwise vest in Owner, then Contractor agrees, subject to Section 11.2, that such ownership and copyrights in the Work Product, whether or not such Work Product is fully or partially complete, shall be automatically assigned from Contractor to Owner without further consideration, and Owner shall thereafter own all right, title and interest in the Work Product, including all copyright interests.

11.2 License to Contractor’s Intellectual Property and Third Party Intellectual Property. As between Owner and Contractor, Contractor shall retain ownership of all proprietary intellectual property rights owned by Contractor and developed by it outside this Agreement or the FEED Verification Agreement (hereinafter referred to as “Contractor’s Intellectual Property”), regardless of whether such Contractor’s Intellectual Property is included in the Work Product, and nothing in Section 11.1 shall result in a transfer of ownership of any Contractor’s Intellectual Property or the proprietary intellectual property owned and developed by the Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors or third parties for any project other than this Project (“Third Party Intellectual Property”). With respect to such Contractor’s Intellectual Property and Third Party Intellectual Property relating to the Work or the Project, Contractor hereby grants Owner an irrevocable, perpetual and royalty-free license (including with right to assign or sublicense its rights without consent to any of the Owner Indemnified Parties or to any purchaser of an interest in all or part of the Project or any contractors, suppliers or consultants of the Owner Indemnified Parties) to use, copy, modify, distribute, sell, make, offer for sale, transfer, publish, import, make derivative works and adapt such Contractor’s Intellectual Property and Third Party Intellectual Property for any purpose relating to the Project or the Work. All Subcontracts and Sub-subcontractors shall contain provisions consistent with this Section 11.2.

11.3 Return/Delivery of Certain Property. All Work Product, and all copies thereof, shall be returned or delivered to Owner upon the earlier of Substantial Completion of the Project or termination of this Agreement, except that Contractor may, subject to its confidentiality obligations set forth in Article 19, retain one record set of the Work Product. Contractor shall provide two (2) reproducible Drawings, where applicable; and two (2) sets (native and PDF files) of documents for those Drawings and Specifications generated using CAD.

11.4 Limitations on Use of Work Product. The Work Product, including all copies thereof, shall not be used by Contractor or its Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors or any other Persons on any other project for a Person other than Owner without the prior written consent of Owner, provided that this Section 11.4 shall not limit or modify Contractor’s ownership rights in the Contractor’s Intellectual Property, or the ownership rights in the Third Party Intellectual Property, as set forth in Section 11.2.

11.5 Owner Provided Documents. All written materials, plans, drafts, specifications, computer files or other documents (if any) prepared or furnished by Owner, its Affiliates or any of Owner’s other consultants or contractors shall at all times remain the property of Owner, and Contractor shall not make use of any such documents or other media for any other project or for

any other purpose than as set forth herein. All such documents and other media, including all copies thereof, shall be returned to Owner upon the earlier of Substantial Completion of the Project and termination of this Agreement, except that Contractor may, subject to its confidentiality obligations as set forth in Article 19, retain one record set of such documents or other media.

Article 12

COMPLETION

12.1 Notice and Requirements for Mechanical Completion. Mechanical Completion shall be achieved for the Project when the requirements of Mechanical Completion under this Agreement (including those set forth in the definition of Mechanical Completion under Section 1.1 and the Mechanical Completion checklists agreed by Owner and Contractor as described below) have been satisfied. No later than one hundred-eighty (180) Days after the NTP, Contractor shall provide to Owner for its review and approval detailed Mechanical Completion requirements, in the form of checklists, for the Work. Once approved by Owner, such Mechanical Completion checklists shall form a part of the requirements for achieving Mechanical Completion. Upon Mechanical Completion, Contractor shall certify to Owner in the form of Attachment L (“Mechanical Completion Certificate”) that all of the requirements under this Agreement for Mechanical Completion have occurred, including the completion of the requirements in the approved Mechanical Completion checklists.

12.2 Notice and Requirements for Substantial Completion. Contractor shall comply with all requirements for Substantial Completion herein, including as set forth in the definition of the term Substantial Completion under Section 1.1. Upon achieving all requirements under this Agreement for Substantial Completion, Contractor shall certify to Owner in the form of Attachment M (“Substantial Completion Certificate”) that all of the requirements under this Agreement for Substantial Completion have occurred. The Substantial Completion Certificate shall be accompanied by all other supporting documentation as may be required to establish that the requirements for Substantial Completion have been met.

12.3 Owner Acceptance of Mechanical Completion and Substantial Completion. Owner shall notify Contractor whether it accepts or rejects each Mechanical Completion Certificate or Substantial Completion Certificate, as the case may be, within fifteen (15) Days following Owner’s receipt thereof. All Work shall continue during pendency of Owner’s review. Acceptance of such Mechanical Completion Certificate or Substantial Completion Certificate shall be evidenced by Owner’s signature on such Mechanical Completion Certificate or Substantial Completion Certificate, which shall be forwarded to Contractor with such notice. If Owner agrees that Mechanical or Substantial Completion has been achieved as the case may be, the date of acceptance of Mechanical or Substantial Completion shall be the date the Mechanical or Substantial Completion certificate was submitted to Owner. If Owner does not agree that Mechanical Completion or Substantial Completion, as the case may be, has occurred, then Owner shall state the basis for its rejection in reasonable detail in a written notice provided to Contractor. The Parties shall thereupon promptly and in good faith confer and make all reasonable efforts to resolve such issue. In the event such issue is not resolved within ten (10) Business Days of the delivery by Owner of its notice, Owner and Contractor shall resolve the dispute in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures provided for under Article 18 herein. Owner’s acceptance shall

not relieve Contractor of any of its obligations to perform the Work in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.

12.4 Minimum Acceptance Criteria as a Condition of Substantial Completion. The Project shall achieve all Minimum Acceptance Criteria for the Project, as evidenced by the Performance Tests and as described in greater detail in this Section 12.4. The Performance Tests for determining whether the Project achieves the Minimum Acceptance Criteria are described in Attachment Q. Performance Tests and any repeat Performance Tests shall be performed as specified in Attachment Q. The Minimum Acceptance Criteria shall not include any performance guarantees of the Owner-Supplied Items, although Contractor will be responsible for proper erection and installation of the Owner-Supplied Items and supply of services and Contractor-Supplied Equipment to the Owner-Supplied Items in accordance with the manuals and instructions provided with the Owner-Supplied Items. Contractor shall evaluate, test, and as necessary, repair and modify the Existing Plant Equipment pursuant to Attachment A in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.1.2.

12.4.1. Minimum Acceptance Criteria Not Achieved.

12.4.1.1. Subject to the terms of Section 12.4.1.2, in the event that the Project does not achieve all of the Minimum Acceptance Criteria, as evidenced by the Performance Tests, by the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date, then (i) Substantial Completion shall not occur and (ii) the provisions of Section 14.2 shall apply. In addition to the foregoing, Contractor shall attempt for a period of ninety (90) Days (commencing on the date on which the Work or component thereof was shown, through the Performance Tests, to have failed to achieve one or more of the Minimum Acceptance Criteria) (“Minimum Acceptance Criteria Correction Period”) to correct the Work to enable the Work to achieve all of the Minimum Acceptance Criteria and otherwise achieve Substantial Completion. If the Work has not achieved the Minimum Acceptance Criteria and Substantial Completion upon the termination of the Minimum Acceptance Criteria Correction Period, then Owner may, in its sole discretion, either (i) grant Contractor an additional sixty (60) Days to correct the Work to enable the Work to achieve all of the Minimum Acceptance Criteria; or (ii) claim Contractor Default pursuant to Article 16. In the event that Owner claims such a Default, Owner shall be entitled to any and all damages, costs, losses and expenses to which Owner is entitled under Section 16.1.2. If, on the other hand, the Work has achieved all of the Minimum Acceptance Criteria and Substantial Completion during the Minimum Acceptance Criteria Correction Period (or during the additional sixty (60) Day period, should Owner elect that option), then Contractor shall be liable to Owner for all other damages, costs, losses and expenses to which Owner is entitled under Section 16.1.2.

12.4.1.2. If the failure of the Project to achieve the Minimum Acceptance Criteria is due to the Process Licensors or due to the failure of Owner-Supplied Items or Existing Plant Equipment that was not modified or repaired by Contractor, then (i) Contractor shall be entitled to a Change Order to the extent such failure is not due to the fault of Contractor or any of its Subcontractors or Sub-

subcontractors (including a failure related to Contractor’s installation of the Owner-Supplied Items or Contractor’s modification or repair of the Existing Plant Equipment), which shall include an extension to the applicable Milestone Dates to the extent allowed under Section 6.8, and (ii) Contractor and Owner shall agree on a work plan with respect to the number of Contractor personnel that will remain at the Site until the Minimum Acceptance Criteria are achieved.

12.5 Punchlist.

12.5.1. Punchlist for Mechanical Completion. Prior to Mechanical Completion, Owner and Contractor shall inspect such Work. Contractor shall prepare a proposed Punchlist of items identified as needing to be completed or corrected as a result of such inspection. Contractor shall promptly provide the proposed Punchlist to Owner for its review and written approval, together with an estimate of the time necessary to complete or correct each Punchlist item. Contractor shall add to the proposed Punchlist any Punchlist items that are identified by Owner during its review, and Contractor shall immediately initiate measures to complete or correct, as appropriate, any item on Contractor’s proposed Punchlist that Owner in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, believes must be completed or corrected so that such Work will achieve Mechanical Completion. Upon Contractor’s completion or correction of any items necessary to achieve Mechanical Completion and Owner’s written approval of Contractor’s proposed Punchlist, as modified by any Owner additions, such Punchlist shall govern Contractor’s performance of the Punchlist items for the Work up to Substantial Completion.

12.5.2. Punchlist for Substantial Completion. After Mechanical Completion and prior to Substantial Completion, Owner and Contractor shall inspect the Work, and Contractor shall prepare an updated and revised proposed Punchlist of items identified as needing to be completed or corrected as a result of such inspection. Contractor shall promptly provide the proposed, updated and revised Punchlist to Owner for its review and written approval, together with an estimate of the time necessary to complete or correct each Punchlist item. Contractor shall add to the proposed, updated and revised Punchlist any Punchlist items identified by Owner during its review, and Contractor shall immediately initiate measures to complete or correct, as appropriate, any item on Contractor’s proposed, updated and revised Punchlist or otherwise that Owner in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, believes must be completed or corrected to achieve Substantial Completion. Upon Contractor’s completion or correction of any items necessary to achieve Substantial Completion and Owner’s written approval of Contractor’s proposed Punchlist, as modified by any Owner additions, such Punchlist shall govern Contractor’s performance of the Punchlist items; provided, however, Contractor shall add to the Punchlist any items of a Punchlist nature that are discovered by Owner or Contractor prior to Final Completion of the Project, and further provided that the failure to include any items on the Punchlist shall not alter the responsibility of Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. All Work on the Punchlist shall be completed by the Guaranteed Final Completion Date, or Owner may, in addition to any other rights that it may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity, complete such Punchlist Work, which shall be charged against the GMP until the GMP is reached, and thereafter such costs shall be at the expense of Contractor. If Owner incurs

any costs for the completion of such Punchlist Work in excess of the GMP, Contractor shall immediately pay Owner (directly, by offset, or by collection on the Letter of Credit, at Owner’s sole discretion), all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Owner in excess of the GMP in performing such Punchlist Work. Upon Contractor’s request, Owner shall provide documentation identifying the costs and expenses to complete such Punchlist Work.

12.6 Notice and Requirements for Final Completion. Final Completion of the Project shall be achieved when all requirements for Final Completion under this Agreement, including those set forth in the definition of Final Completion under Section 1.1, have been satisfied. Upon Final Completion, Contractor shall certify to Owner in the form of Attachment N (“Final Completion Certificate”) that all of the requirements under this Agreement for Final Completion have occurred. Owner shall notify Contractor whether it accepts or rejects the Final Completion Certificate within fifteen (15) Days following Owner’s receipt thereof. Acceptance of such certificate shall be evidenced by Owner’s signature on such certificate, which shall be forwarded to Contractor with such notice and the date of acceptance of Final Completion shall be the date the Final Completion certificate was submitted to Owner (provided that Owner accepted the certificate). If Owner does not agree that Final Completion has occurred, then Owner shall state the basis for its rejection in reasonable detail in a written notice provided to Contractor. The Parties shall thereupon promptly and in good faith confer and make all reasonable efforts to resolve such issue. In the event such issue is not resolved within ten (10) Business Days of the delivery by Owner of its notice, Owner and Contractor shall resolve the dispute in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures provided for under Article 18; provided, however, if such deficiencies relate to the failure to complete Punchlist items, Owner may, in addition to any other rights that it may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity, complete such Punchlist Work in accordance with Section 12.5.

12.7 Partial Occupancy and Use. Prior to Contractor achieving Substantial Completion, Owner may occupy or use all or any portion of the Work then capable of functioning safely, provided that such occupancy or use is authorized by the applicable Governmental Instrumentalities. Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use, Owner and Contractor shall jointly inspect the area to be occupied or portion of the Work to be used in order to determine and record the condition of the Work and all personnel and environmental safety aspects of the Work. Such occupancy or use shall not in any way release Contractor or any surety of Contractor from any obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, including the obligation to engineer, procure and construct a fully operational Project within the required times set forth in the Milestone Dates and otherwise in accordance with all requirements of this Agreement, nor shall such occupancy or use be deemed to be an acceptance by Owner of such portion of the Work. However, to the extent such occupancy or use causes delays to the Work of the Contractor, Contractor shall be entitled to an extension of time and an increase in the Contract Price due to such delay to the extent permitted in Section 6.8. Without limitation of the foregoing, but subject to Contractor’s right to seek an extension of time as described in this Section 12.7, Contractor shall be liable for any and all Delay Liquidated Damages for failing to achieve Substantial Completion as set forth in this Agreement, regardless of whether Owner is using or occupying a portion of the Work.

12.8 Long-Term Obligations. No acceptance by Owner of any or all of the Work or any other obligations of Contractor under this Agreement, including acceptance of Mechanical

Completion, Substantial Completion or Final Completion of the Project, nor any payment made hereunder, whether an interim or final payment, shall in any way release Contractor or any surety of Contractor from any obligations or liability pursuant to this Agreement. Nothing in this Article 12 shall in any way modify or alter Contractor’s obligations under Article 13 and Article 14.

Article 13

WARRANTY AND CORRECTION OF WORK

13.1 Warranty.

13.1.1. General. The warranties set forth in this Article 13 (referred to individually as “Warranty” or collectively as “Warranties”) are in addition to any of the Minimum Acceptance Criteria set forth in this Agreement. Any Work, or component thereof, that is not in conformity with any Warranty is defective (“Defective”) and contains a defect (“Defect”).

13.1.2. Contractor’s Warranty. Contractor hereby warrants that the Work, including Contractor-Supplied Equipment, and each component thereof shall be: (i) new or rebuilt, as applicable (and for all rebuilt Work, such Work is approved by Owner in advance), complete and of suitable grade for specified function and use; (ii) free from encumbrances to title, as set forth in greater detail in Section 9.1; (iii) free from defects in design, material and workmanship; (iv) in accordance with all requirements of this Agreement (including GECP, Applicable Law and Applicable Codes and Standards); (v) fit for the purposes specified in this Agreement; and (iv) composed and made of proven technology; provided however, Contractor does not warrant the Existing Plant Equipment (except for the improvements, alterations, or modifications made by Contractor to such Equipment) or Owner-Supplied Items (except that Contractor warrants its Work related to such Equipment such as unloading, storage, assembly, erection, and installation of the Owner-Supplied Items), provided further, however, this shall not be interpreted to relieve Contractor of its obligations to achieve the MAC.

13.1.3. Assignment and Enforcement of Subcontractor Warranties. Contractor shall, without additional cost to Owner, obtain warranties from Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors that meet or exceed the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however, Contractor shall not in any way be relieved of its responsibilities and liability to Owner under this Agreement, regardless of whether such Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor warranties meet the requirements of this Agreement, as Contractor shall be fully responsible and liable to Owner for its Warranty pursuant to Section 13.1.2 and Corrective Work obligations, provided however, Corrective Work is included in the GMP (and paid as a Direct Costs of the Work) to the extent specified in this Agreement. All such warranties shall be deemed to run to the benefit of Owner and Contractor. On or prior to the expiration of the Defect Correction Period, Contractor shall assign to Owner any Subcontractor warranties that have warranty durations exceeding such Defect Correction Period. Such warranties, with duly executed instruments assigning the warranties to Owner, shall be enforceable by Owner upon the expiration of the Defect Correction Period. All warranties provided by any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor shall be in such form

as to permit direct enforcement by Contractor or Owner against any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor whose warranty is called for, and Contractor agrees that: (i) Contractor’s Warranty, as provided under this Article 13 shall apply to all Work regardless of the provisions of any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor warranty, and such Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor warranties shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, such Contractor Warranty; (ii) Contractor is jointly and severally liable with such Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor with respect to such Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor warranty; and (iii) service of notice on Contractor that there has been a breach of a Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor warranty shall be sufficient to invoke the terms of the instrument. This Section 13.1.3 shall not in any way be construed to limit Contractor’s liability under this Agreement for the entire Work or its obligation to enforce Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor warranties.

13.1.4. Exceptions to Warranty. The Warranty excludes remedy, and Contractor shall have no liability to Owner, for damage or defect occurring after Substantial Completion to the extent caused by: (i) normal wear and tear of the Work, (ii) Owner’s failure to maintain the Work in accordance with the written maintenance procedures delivered by Contractor to Owner; or (iii) Owner’s misuse of the Work.

13.2 Correction of Work Prior to Substantial Completion.

13.2.1. General Rights. In addition to other obligations under this Agreement, if, prior to Substantial Completion, any Work is found to be Defective, Contractor shall promptly correct such Defective Work and any other portions of the Project damaged or affected by such Defective Work, whether by repair, replacement or otherwise as determined by Contractor after consultation with Owner. All Work shall be subject to inspection by Owner, Lender and either of their representatives at all times to determine whether the Work conforms to the requirements of this Agreement. Contractor shall furnish Owner, Lender and either of their representatives with access to all locations where Work is in progress, including locations not on the Site. If, in the judgment of Owner, any Work is Defective, Owner shall provide written notice to Contractor identifying and describing with reasonable specificity that portion of Work that Owner believes is Defective. Upon receipt of such written notice, Contractor shall promptly correct such Defective Work, whether by repair, replacement or otherwise as determined by Contractor after consultation with Owner. Subject to Contractor’s right to pursue a Dispute under Article 18, the decision of Owner shall be conclusive as to whether the Work is conforming or Defective, and Contractor shall comply with the instructions of Owner in all such matters while pursuing any such Dispute. If it is later determined that the Work was not Defective, then a Change Order shall be issued for Direct Costs of the Work and shall address any impact the repair or replacement may have had on the GMP and Milestone Dates. If Contractor fails, after a reasonable period of time not to exceed seven (7) Days, to repair or replace any Defective Work, or to commence to repair or replace any Defective Work and thereafter continue to proceed diligently to complete the same, then Owner, after providing three (3) Days’ notice to Contractor, may repair or replace such Defective Work; provided, however, if the Defective Work materially affects the operation or use of the Project, or presents an imminent threat to the safety or health of any Person, then Contractor shall commence to repair or replace the Defective Work within twenty four (24) hours after

receipt of a written notice of such Defective Work, and thereafter continue to proceed diligently to complete the same.

13.2.2. Hold Points and Witness Points.

13.2.2.1. Within one hundred twenty (120) Days after the first LNTP, Contractor shall submit to Owner for approval a list of hold points for each item of Contractor-Supplied Equipment and Contractor shall provide Owner with at least ten (10) Days’ prior written notice of the actual scheduled date of each of the tests for each such item of Contractor-Supplied Equipment listed therein. Contractor may not proceed with any such test without Owner either witnessing such test or notifying Contractor in writing that Contractor may proceed with such test without any Owner personnel present for such test.

13.2.2.2. With respect to shop testing of Contractor-Supplied Equipment by Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors, Contractor shall provide Owner a proposed list of witness points for each such item of Contractor-Supplied Equipment for Owner’s review and prior written approval no later than fifteen (15) Days after placement of the applicable Subcontract or Sub-subcontract for such item of Contractor-Supplied Equipment, and Owner shall notify Contractor which of the witness points it wishes its personnel to witness. Contractor shall provide Owner with at least ten (10) Days’ prior written notice of the actual scheduled date of each of the tests Owner has indicated it wishes to witness. Contractor shall cooperate with Owner if Owner elects to witness any additional tests, and Contractor acknowledges that Owner shall have the right to witness all tests being performed in connection with the Work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Owner fails to witness any tests for which Contractor has provided the required notice under this Section 13.2.2.2, Contractor may proceed with conducting such tests.

13.2.2.3. Owner’s right of inspection set forth in this Section 13.2.2 applies only to witnessing of hold points and witness points for Work and shall not be construed to imply a limitation on Owner’s right to inspect any portion of the Work (including Contractor-Supplied Equipment) at any time in its sole discretion and in accordance with this Agreement.

13.2.3. No Obligation to Inspect. Owner’s or Lender’s right to conduct inspections under Sections 13.2.1 and 13.2.2 shall not obligate Owner or Lender to do so. Neither the exercise of Owner or Lender of any such right, nor any failure on the part of Owner or Lender to discover or reject Defective Work shall be construed to imply an acceptance of such Defective Work or a waiver of such Defect.

13.2.4. Cost of Disassembling. Subject to Section 13.2.1, the cost of disassembling, dismantling or making safe finished Work for the purpose of inspection, and reassembling such portions (and any delay associated therewith) shall be a Direct Cost of the Work.

13.3 Correction of Work After Substantial Completion. In addition to other obligations under this Agreement, if, during the Defect Correction Period, any Work performed by Contractor is found to be Defective, Contractor shall, on a reimbursable basis up to the GMP immediately and on an expedited basis (i) correct such Defective Work, whether by repair, replacement or otherwise, including determining the root cause of the Defective Work and undertaking the necessary work to properly remedy and eliminate such root cause and (ii) repair, clean up and remediate any portions of the Site or the Project damaged or affected by such Defective Work, whether by repair, remediation, replacement or otherwise (the “Corrective Work”). Corrective Work shall include “in and out” corrective work, which includes gaining access for correction, repair or replacement of any Work that has already been installed and requires the removal, disassembly, disconnection, installation, reassembly, reconnection or other physical handling of facilities, equipment, structures or other improvements owned, furnished or installed by Persons or entities other than Contractor. If Owner reasonably believes that any Work is Defective during the Defect Correction Period, Owner shall provide written notice within a reasonable period of time after Owner’s determination to Contractor of such Defect, stating the general nature of such Defect or the issue giving rise to Owner’s belief; provided that, such notice shall not be construed as a condition precedent to Contractor’s obligation to perform Corrective Work. Owner shall provide Contractor with access to the Project sufficient for Contractor to perform its Corrective Work, so long as such activities do not unreasonably interfere with the operation of the Project and subject to any reasonable security or safety requirements of Owner.

13.3.1. Owner Right to Correct or Complete Defective Work. If Contractor fails to commence the Corrective Work (which commencement may include the detailed planning associated with the on-Site implementation of the Corrective Work) within a reasonable period of time not to exceed five (5) Days, or does not complete such Corrective Work on an expedited basis, then Owner, by written notice to Contractor, may (in addition to any other remedies that it has under this Agreement, at law or in equity) perform the Corrective Work, and Contractor shall be liable to Owner for all reasonable costs and expenses in excess of the GMP incurred by Owner in connection with such Corrective Work and arising out of or relating to such Defective Work and, if such costs exceed the GMP shall pay Owner (directly, by offset, or by collection on the Letter of Credit, at Owner’s sole discretion), an amount equal to such costs and expenses; provided, however, if such Defective Work materially affects the operation or use of any of the Project or presents an imminent threat to the safety or health of any Person and Owner knows of such Defective Work, Owner may (in addition to any other remedies that it has under this Agreement, at law or in equity) perform such Corrective Work without giving prior written notice to Contractor (provided that Owner shall advise Contractor of such action as soon as reasonably possible), and, in that event, such work shall be charged against the GMP until the GMP is reached, and thereafter such costs shall be at the expense of Contractor. If Owner incurs any costs for such work in excess of the GMP, Contractor shall immediately pay Owner (directly, by offset, or by collection on the Letter of Credit, at Owner’s sole discretion), all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Owner in excess of the GMP in performing such Work. Upon Contractor’s request, Owner shall provide documentation identifying the costs and expenses to complete such Work.

13.3.2. Extended Defect Correction Period for Corrective Work. With respect to any Corrective Work performed, the Defect Correction Period for such Corrective Work

shall be extended for an additional one (1) year from the date of the completion of such Corrective Work; provided, however, in no event shall the Defect Correction Period for such Corrective Work be less than the original Defect Correction Period; and provided further, that the Defect Correction Period shall not extend more than six (6) months beyond the expiration of the original Defect Correction Period.

13.4 Owner-Supplied Items and Existing Plant Equipment. The foregoing notwithstanding, Contractor is not responsible to correct any Defect in the Owner-Supplied Items or in Existing Plant Equipment that does not arise out of or result from any act or omission of Contractor or any of its Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors or relate to the Work performed by Contractor, except (i) as set forth in Section 3.24 or (ii) if such Defect relates to improvements, alterations, or modifications of the Existing Plant Equipment by Contractor.

13.5 Waiver of Implied Warranties. Except for any express warranties under this Agreement, the Parties hereby disclaim any and all other warranties, including the implied warranty of merchantability and implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.

13.6 Assignability of Warranties. The Warranties made in this Agreement shall be for the benefit of Owner and its successors and assigns and the respective successors and assigns of any of them, and are fully transferable and assignable.

Article 14

GUARANTEE OF TIMELY COMPLETION AND DELAY LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

14.2 Delay Liquidated Damages. If Substantial Completion occurs after the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date (as may be adjusted by Change Order pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), Contractor shall pay to Owner the amounts listed in Attachment U per Day for each Day, or portion thereof, of delay until Substantial Completion occurs (the “Delay Liquidated Damages”).

Article 16

DEFAULT, TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION

16.1 Default by Contractor.

16.1.1. Owner Rights Upon Contractor Default. If Contractor shall at any time (i) fail to prosecute the Work in a diligent or safe manner; (ii) fail to commence the Work in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; (iii) abandon the Project (provided that Contractor’s suspension of the Work in accordance with Section 16.4 shall not be deemed an abandonment of the Work); (iv) expressly repudiate any of its obligations under this Agreement; (v) fail to use an adequate amount or quality of personnel or Construction Equipment to perform and complete the Project without delay; (vi) be in Default pursuant to Sections 5.4.5, 6.1.3 or 21.6; (vii) fail to maintain insurance required under this

Agreement; (viii) fail to provide or maintain the Parent Guarantee in accordance with this Agreement; (ix) make changes to Key Personnel in violation of the provisions in Section 2.2; (x) fail to discharge liens filed by any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor as required under this Agreement; (xi) cause, by any action or omission, any material stoppage or delay of or interference with the work or operations of Owner or its other contractors or subcontractors; (xii) commit gross negligence or willful misconduct; (xiii) fail to make payment to Subcontractors in accordance with the respective Subcontracts; (xiv) disregard Applicable Law or Applicable Codes and Standards; (xv) materially fail to comply with any provision of this Agreement; (xvi) be in violation of Section 21.10; (xvii) fail to provide satisfactory security in the event of a Material Adverse Change in Contractor’s or Guarantor’s creditworthiness; (xviii) fail to achieve the Minimum Acceptance Criteria pursuant to this Agreement; (xix) have paid the maximum amount of Delay Liquidated Damages payable under Section 20.2.1; (xx) itself or Guarantor becomes insolvent, has a receiver appointed, makes a general assignment or filing for the benefit of its creditors or files for bankruptcy protection; or (xxi) as otherwise specified in this Agreement (each of the foregoing being a “Default”), then following Owner’s written notice to Contractor specifying the general nature of the Default (unless in the event of any of the items (i) through (xvii) or (xxi) above, Contractor cures such condition within seven (7) Days, or if the Default cannot be cured with the exercise of reasonable diligence within such seven (7) Days but Contractor has commenced corrective action and cures such condition within an additional fourteen (14) Days), Owner, at its sole option and, without prejudice to any other rights that it has under this Agreement, at law or in equity and, without further notice to Contractor, may (a) take such steps as are necessary to overcome the Default condition, in which case Contractor shall be liable to Owner for any and all costs, damages, losses and expenses (including all attorneys’ fees, consultant fees and litigation or arbitration expenses) incurred by Owner in connection therewith, (b) terminate for Default Contractor’s performance of all or any part of the Work, or (c) seek specific performance or interlocutory mandatory injunctive relief requiring performance of Contractor’s obligations, it being agreed by Contractor that such relief may be necessary to avoid irreparable harm to Owner. Guarantor’s failure to materially comply with any provisions of the Parent Guarantee shall be a Default under this Agreement.

16.1.2. Additional Rights of Owner Upon Default Termination. In the event that Owner terminates this Agreement for Default in accordance with Section 16.1.1, then Owner may, at its sole option, (i) enter onto the Site and any other locations where the Work is being performed and, for the purpose of completing the Work, take possession of all Equipment and Work Product intended to be made a permanent part of the Work, documents, information, Books and Records and other items thereon, (ii) take assignment of any or all of the Subcontracts or Sub-subcontracts, or (iii) either itself or through others complete the Work. In addition, if any Equipment which is intended to be made part of the permanent Work is located off the Site, Contractor shall deliver such Equipment to Owner or, at Owner’s option, make arrangements for Owner to take possession of such Equipment at its present off-Site location. Contractor’s liability under this Section 16.1.2 is in addition to any other liability provided for under this Agreement and Owner shall have the right and authority to set off against and deduct from any such excess due Contractor by Owner any other liability of Contractor to Owner under this Agreement. Owner agrees to act reasonably to mitigate any costs it might incur in connection with any termination

for Default. In the event of a termination for Default, the Parties agree that Owner shall be entitled to any and all damages, losses, costs and expenses incurred by Owner arising out of or resulting from such Default, including any and all Delay Liquidated Damages. If Contractor is terminated for Default pursuant to Section 16.1, the Parties agree that, for the purposes of this Section 16.1.2, if Substantial Completion was not achieved by Contractor prior to such termination, Delay Liquidated Damages owed by Contractor to Owner shall be based on the date that the substitute contractor achieved Substantial Completion (or using GECP should have achieved Substantial Completion) subject to Contractor’s aggregate limit of liability for Delay Liquidated Damages in Section 20.2.1.

16.1.3. Erroneous Termination for Default. If any termination for Default by Owner is found to be not in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or is otherwise deemed to be unenforceable, then such termination for Default shall be deemed to be a termination for convenience as provided in Section 16.2.

16.1.4. Obligations Upon Default Termination. Upon termination for Default, Contractor shall (i) immediately discontinue Work on the date and to the extent specified in the notice; (ii) place no further orders for Subcontracts, Equipment, or any other items or services except as may be necessary for completion of such portion of the Work as is not discontinued; (iii) inventory, maintain and turn over to Owner all Contractor-Supplied Equipment furnished by Contractor or any other equipment or other items provided by Owner for performance of the terminated Work (including the Owner-Supplied Items); (iv) promptly make every reasonable effort to procure assignment or cancellation upon terms satisfactory to Owner of all Subcontracts, Sub-subcontracts and rental agreements to the extent they relate to the performance of the Work that is discontinued; (v) cooperate with Owner in the transfer of Work Product, including Drawings and Specifications, Permits, licenses and any other items or information and disposition of Work in progress so as to mitigate damages; (vi) comply with other reasonable requests from Owner regarding the terminated Work; (vii) thereafter execute only that portion of the Work not terminated (if any) and that portion of the Work as may be necessary to preserve and protect Work already in progress and to protect Equipment at the Site or in transit thereto, and to comply with any Applicable Law and any Applicable Codes and Standards; and (viii) perform all other obligations set forth under Section 16.2.1.

16.2 Termination for Convenience by Owner.

16.2.1. Owner Rights to Terminate for Convenience. Owner shall have the right to terminate for convenience Contractor’s performance of all or any part of the Work by providing Contractor with a written notice of termination, to be effective upon receipt by Contractor. Upon termination for convenience, Contractor shall (i) immediately discontinue the Work on the date and to the extent specified in such notice, (ii) place no further orders for Subcontracts, Equipment, or any other items or services except as may be necessary for completion of such portion of the Work as is not discontinued, (iii) promptly make every reasonable effort to procure cancellation upon terms satisfactory to Owner of all Subcontracts, Sub-subcontracts and rental agreements to the extent they relate to the performance of the Work that is discontinued unless Owner elects to take assignment of any such Subcontracts or Sub-subcontracts, (iv) assist Owner in the maintenance,

protection, and disposition of Work in progress, including turning over to Owner all Contractor-Supplied Equipment and Owner-Supplied Items relating to the terminated Work, (v) cooperate with Owner for the efficient transition of the Work, (vi) cooperate with Owner in the transfer of Work Product, including Drawings and Specifications, Permits, licenses and any other items or information and disposition of Work in progress, and (vii) thereafter execute only that portion of the Work not terminated (if any) and that portion of the Work as may be necessary to preserve and protect Work already in progress and to protect Equipment at the Site or in transit thereto, and to comply with any Applicable Law and Applicable Codes and Standards. Owner may, at its sole option, take assignment of any or all of the Subcontracts or Sub-subcontracts.

16.2.2. Obligations of Owner upon Convenience Termination. Upon a convenience termination by Owner in accordance with Section 16.2.1, Contractor shall be paid (i) the reasonable value of the Work performed (the basis of payment being based on the terms of this Agreement, less any down payments, if any, made under this Agreement) prior to termination, less that portion of the Compensation previously paid to Contractor, plus (ii) reasonable direct close-out costs incurred directly associated with the termination (including Contractor’s markup for overhead and profit consistent with the Overhead Fee and the Contractor’s Fee), and submitted in accordance with this Section, but in no event shall Contractor be entitled to receive any amount for unabsorbed overhead, contingency, risk or anticipatory profit. Contractor shall submit all reasonable direct close-out costs to Owner for verification and audit within sixty (60) Days following the effective date of termination. If no Work has been performed by Contractor at the time of termination, Contractor shall be paid the sum of one hundred U.S. Dollars (U.S.$100) for its undertaking to perform. If NTP is not issued, Owner shall not be liable for any cancellation charges except as may be expressly set forth in an authorized LNTP. With respect to the Mobilization Payment, the Parties recognize and agree that the amount and timing of such payment has been determined in part to provide a mutually agreeable cash flow to Contractor and does not necessarily represent the value of the Work performed under this Agreement. As such, in the event of a termination for convenience, Contractor shall not be entitled to the full compensation for the Mobilization Payment but instead shall be entitled to the value of the Work actually performed.

16.3 Suspension of Work. Owner may, for any reason, at any time and from time to time, by written unilateral or mutual Change Order, suspend the carrying out the Work or any part thereof, whereupon Contractor shall suspend the carrying out of such suspended Work for such time or times and in such manner as Owner may require and shall take reasonable steps to minimize any costs associated with such suspension. During any such suspension, Contractor shall properly protect and secure such suspended Work in such manner as Owner may reasonably require. Unless otherwise instructed by Owner, Contractor shall during any such suspension maintain its staff and labor on or near the Site and otherwise be ready to proceed expeditiously with the Work upon receipt of Owner’s further instructions. Except where such suspension ordered by Owner is the result of or due to the fault or negligence of Contractor or any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor, Contractor shall be entitled to the reasonable costs (including actual, but not unabsorbed, overhead, contingency, risk and reasonable profit consistent with the Overhead Fee and Contractor’s Fee) of such suspension, including demobilization and remobilization costs, if necessary, along with appropriate supporting documentation to evidence such costs, and a time extension to the

Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date if and to the extent permitted under Section 6.8. Upon receipt of notice to resume suspended Work, Contractor shall immediately resume performance of the Work to the extent required in the notice. In no event shall Contractor be entitled to any additional profits or damages due to such suspension.

16.4 Suspension by Contractor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Contractor shall have the responsibility at all times to prosecute the Work diligently and shall not suspend, stop or cease performance hereunder or permit the prosecution of the Work to be delayed; provided, however, […***…].

16.5 Termination by Contractor. Contractor may only terminate this Agreement if […***…].

Subject to Section 3.17, Owner shall fully indemnify, hold harmless and defend Contractor Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Claims arising out of personal injury or death of any Person or damage to or destruction of property of any Person (excluding the Work, the Project and the Construction Equipment) to the extent arising out of, related to or resulting from the negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Owner Indemnified Party.

17.3 Patent and Copyright Indemnification. In the event that any suit, claim, temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction is granted in connection with Section 17.1.2, Contractor shall, in addition to its obligation under Section 17.1.2, make every reasonable effort, by giving a satisfactory bond or otherwise, to secure the suspension of the injunction or restraining order. If, in any such suit or claim, the Work, the Project, or any part, combination or process thereof, is held to constitute an infringement and its use is preliminarily or permanently enjoined, Contractor shall promptly make every reasonable effort to secure for Owner a license, at no cost to Owner, authorizing continued use of the infringing Work on the same terms and conditions as the license granted to Owner under Section 11.2. If Contractor is unable to secure such a license within a reasonable time, Contractor shall, at its own expense and without impairing performance requirements, either replace the affected Work, in whole or part, with non-infringing components or parts or modify the same so that they become non-infringing. The foregoing notwithstanding, Contractor or its Subcontractors shall not be responsible to indemnify Owner to the extent an infringement claim is caused: (i) by Work, materials, goods or services for which Owner provided and controlled the detailed design and wherein compliance therewith has caused Contractor to deviate from its normal course or performance; or (ii) from Owner’s use of the Work in combination with equipment which is not part of the Work where such infringement would not have occurred from the use of the Work not in combination with such equipment, and, in each case, Contractor is not a contributory infringer.

17.4 Excluded Claims. Contractor shall have no obligation to defend or indemnify Owner for Excluded Claims. “Excluded Claims” are Section 17.1.2 claims resulting from: (i) Owner’s or Owner’s Affiliates’ designs or specifications that were not performed by Contractor as part of the Work, such as the design and procurement of Owner-Supplied Items and Existing Plant Equipment (except to the extent set forth in Section 3.1.2); (ii) Owner’s alteration or modification of the Work Product without Contractor’s approval or involvement, and the alleged

infringement would not have occurred but for such alteration or modification; (iii) Owner’s combination of the Work Product with another product(s) not furnished by Contractor, except to the extent Contractor is a contributory infringer; or (iv) Owner or any Owner Affiliate settles an Intellectual Property Claim in violation of Section 17.6. Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold Contractor harmless from and against any damages, costs or expenses incurred in Contractor having to defend any Excluded Claim (other than one arising under clause (iv) hereof) to the same extent and in the same manner as provided in this section for Intellectual Property Claims for which Contractor is obligated to indemnify Owner. Contractor’s obligation to indemnify Owner under this Article 17 shall be effective only if Owner gives Contractor prompt written notice in accordance with Section 17.6 after Owner knew of such Intellectual Property Claim or liability and provides information and assistance for the defense of any Intellectual Property Claim or liabilities for which Owner seeks indemnification hereunder in accordance with Section 17.6.

17.5 Lien Indemnification. Should any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor or any other Person acting through or under Contractor or any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor file a lien or other encumbrance against all or any portion of the Work, the Site or the Project, excluding liens resulting from Owner’s failure to make undisputed payments to Contractor that are due and payable and for which Owner does not have a right to withhold in accordance with Section 7.11, Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove and discharge, by payment, bond or otherwise, such lien or encumbrance within ten (10) Days of the filing of such lien or encumbrance. If Contractor fails to remove and discharge any such lien or encumbrance within such ten (10) Day period, then Owner may, in its sole discretion and in addition to any other rights that it has under this Agreement, at law or equity, take any one or more of the following actions:

17.5.1. Remove and discharge such lien and encumbrance using whatever means that Owner, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, including the payment of settlement amounts that it determines in its sole discretion as being necessary to discharge such lien or encumbrance. In such circumstance, Contractor shall be liable to Owner for all damages, costs, losses and expenses (including all attorneys’ fees, consultant fees and litigation or arbitration expenses, and settlement payments) incurred by Owner arising out of or relating to such removal and discharge. All such damages, costs, losses and expenses shall be paid by Contractor no later than thirty (30) Days after receipt of each invoice from Owner;

17.5.2. Seek and obtain an order granting specific performance from a court of competent jurisdiction, requiring that Contractor immediately discharge and remove, by bond, payment or otherwise, such lien or encumbrance. The Parties expressly agree that Owner shall be entitled to such specific performance and that Contractor shall be liable to Owner for all damages, costs, losses and expenses (including all attorneys’ fees, consultant fees and litigation or arbitration expenses) incurred by Owner arising out of or relating to such specific performance action. Contractor agrees that the failure to discharge and remove any such lien or encumbrance will give rise to irreparable injury to Owner and Owner’s Affiliates, and further, that Owner and such Owner Affiliates will not be adequately compensated by damages; or

17.5.3. Conduct the defense of any action in respect of (and any counterclaims related to) such liens or encumbrances as set forth in Section 17.6, without regard to Contractor’s rights under such Section, and all damages, costs and expenses (including all

attorneys’ fees, consultant fees and litigation or arbitration expenses, settlement payments and judgments) so incurred by Owner in that event shall be reimbursed by Contractor, together with interest on same from the date any such cost and expense was paid by Owner until reimbursed by Contractor at the interest rate set forth in Section 7.12.

17.6 Legal Defense. Not later than fifteen (15) Days after receipt of written notice from the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party of any claims, demands, actions or causes of action asserted against such Indemnified Party for which the Indemnifying Party has indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligations under this Agreement, whether such claim, demand, action or cause of action is asserted in a legal, judicial, arbitral or administrative proceeding or action or by notice without institution of such legal, judicial, arbitral or administrative proceeding or action, the Indemnifying Party shall affirm in writing by notice to such Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify, defend and hold harmless such Indemnified Party and shall, at the Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense, assume on behalf of the Indemnified Party and conduct with due diligence and in good faith the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party shall have the right to be represented therein by advisory counsel of its own selection, and at its own expense; and provided further that if the defendants in any such action or proceeding include the Indemnifying Party and an Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to, or inconsistent with, those available to the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to select up to one separate counsel to participate in the defense of such action or proceeding on its own behalf at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. In the event of the failure of the Indemnifying Party to perform fully in accordance with the defense obligations under this Section 17.6, such Indemnified Party may, at its option, and without relieving the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, so perform, but all damages, costs and expenses (including all attorneys’ fees, consultant fees and litigation or arbitration expenses, settlement payments and judgments) so incurred by such Indemnified Party in that event shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party, together with interest on same from the date any such cost and expense was paid by such Indemnified Party until reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party at the interest rate set forth in Section 7.12.

17.7 Enforceability.

17.7.1. The indemnity, defense and hold harmless obligations for personal injury, illness or death or property damage under this Agreement shall apply regardless of whether the Indemnified Party was concurrently negligent (whether actively or passively), it being agreed by the Parties that in this event, the Parties’ respective liability or responsibility for such damages, losses, costs and expenses under this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the principles of comparative negligence.

17.7.2. In the event that any indemnity provisions in this Agreement are contrary to the law governing this Agreement, then the indemnity obligations applicable hereunder shall be applied to the maximum extent allowed by Applicable Law. Each Party acknowledges specific payment of ten and no/100 U.S. Dollars (U.S.$10.00) as legal consideration for the indemnity obligations as may be provided in this Agreement.

Article 18

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

18.1 Arbitration. If any dispute arises out of, results from, or relates to this Agreement which the Parties are unable to settle amicably within fifteen (15) Days after the dispute arises (or such longer period as may be agreed upon by the Parties in writing), then the Parties agree that such dispute shall be decided by binding arbitration in Los Angeles County, California. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the arbitration shall be administered in Los Angeles before one (1) arbitrator who shall be a retired judge admitted to practice law in the State of California. The arbitration shall be administered by Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc (“JAMS”), or any like organization successor thereto, pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Rules”). The arbitrator shall determine the rights and obligations of the Parties according to the substantive law of the state of California, excluding its conflict of law principles, as would a court for the state of California; provided, however, the law applicable to the validity of the arbitration clause, the conduct of the arbitration, including resort to a court for provisional remedies, the enforcement of any award and any other question of arbitration law or procedure shall be the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.A. § 2. The arbitration award shall be final and binding, in writing, signed by the arbitrator or all of the arbitrators (as applicable), and shall state the reasons upon which the award thereof is based. The Parties agree that judgment on the arbitration award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The prevailing Party in any action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the other Party all of its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such action or proceeding including reasonable legal fees and costs at arbitration.

18.2 Continuation of Work During Dispute. Notwithstanding any Dispute, it shall be the responsibility of Contractor to continue to prosecute all of the Work diligently and in a good and workmanlike manner in conformity with this Agreement. Except to the extent provided in Sections 16.4 and 16.5, Contractor shall have no right to cease performance hereunder or to permit the prosecution of the Work to be delayed. Owner shall, subject to its right to withhold or offset amounts pursuant to this Agreement, continue to pay Contractor undisputed amounts in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, in no event shall the occurrence of any negotiation, arbitration or litigation prevent or affect Owner from exercising its rights under this Agreement, at law or in equity, including Owner’s right to terminate pursuant to Article 16.

Article 19

CONFIDENTIALITY

19.1 Contractor’s Obligations. Contractor hereby covenants and warrants that Contractor and its employees, officers, directors and agents shall not (without in each instance obtaining Owner’s prior written consent) disclose, make commercial or other use of, or give or sell to any Person any of the following information: (i) any Work Product other than to Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors as necessary to perform the Work or (ii) any other proprietary, sensitive or non-public information which relates to the technical processes, operating or maintenance methodologies, business, products, services, research or development, actual or potential clients or customers, financing of the Project, designs, methods, discoveries, trade secrets, research,

development or finances of Owner or any Affiliate of Owner, or relating to similar information of a third party who has entrusted such information to Owner or any Affiliate of Owner (hereinafter individually or collectively, “Owner’s Confidential Information”). Prior to disclosing any information in subpart (i) of this Section 19.1 to any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor necessary to perform the Work, Contractor shall bind such Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor to the confidentiality obligations contained in this Section 19.1. Contractor agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Section 19.1 by any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor. Nothing in this Section 19.1 or this Agreement shall in any way prohibit Contractor or any of its Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors from making commercial or other use of, selling, or disclosing any of their respective Contractor’s Intellectual Property or Third Party Intellectual Property. In addition to the foregoing, neither Contractor nor any of its employees, officers, directors and agents shall disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement in any regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission unless required by Applicable Law, and provided that, prior to any such disclosure, Contractor shall give Owner reasonable notice of the information required to be disclosed and shall provide Owner with an opportunity to take appropriate steps Owner believes are necessary to protect the confidentiality or proprietary nature of this Agreement, and Contractor agrees to furnish only that portion of the information regarding this Agreement that Contractor is legally required to furnish.

19.2 Owner’s Obligations. Owner hereby covenants and warrants that Owner and its employees and agents shall not (without in each instance obtaining Contractor’s prior written consent) disclose, make commercial or other use of, or give or sell to any Person any pricing methodologies or pricing information relating to the Work, including the Equipment, which is conspicuously marked and identified in writing as confidential by Contractor (hereinafter individually or collectively, “Contractor’s Confidential Information”). The Parties agree that Owner may disclose Contractor’s Confidential Information to its other contractors involved in the Project, Affiliates, underwriters, a bona fide prospective purchaser of all or a portion of Owner’s or any of its Affiliates’ assets or ownership interests, a bona fide prospective assignee of all or a portion of Owner’s interest in this Agreement, Lender and their representatives or rating agencies, provided that Owner agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Section 19.2 by any such Persons.

19.3 Definitions. The term “Confidential Information” shall mean one or both of Contractor’s Confidential Information and Owner’s Confidential Information, as the context requires. The Party having the confidentiality obligations with respect to such Confidential Information shall be referred to as the “Receiving Party,” and the Party to whom such confidentiality obligations are owed shall be referred to as the “Disclosing Party.”

19.4 Exceptions. Notwithstanding Sections 19.1 and 19.2, Confidential Information shall not include: (i) information which at the time of disclosure or acquisition is in the public domain, or which after disclosure or acquisition becomes part of the public domain without violation of Article 19; (ii) information which at the time of disclosure or acquisition was already in the possession of the Receiving Party or its employees or agents and was not previously acquired from the Disclosing Party or any of its employees or agents directly or indirectly; (iii) information which the Receiving Party can show was acquired by such entity after the time of disclosure or acquisition hereunder from a third party without any confidentiality commitment if, to the best of Receiving Party’s or its employee’s or agent’s knowledge, such third party did not acquire it,

directly or indirectly, from the Disclosing Party or any of its employees or agents; (iv) information independently developed by the Receiving Party without benefit of the Confidential Information, but specifically excluding the Work Product; and (v) information which is required by Applicable Law or other agencies in connection with the Project, to be disclosed; provided, however, that prior to such disclosure, the Receiving Party gives reasonable notice to the Disclosing Party of the information required to be disclosed.

19.5 Equitable Relief. The Parties acknowledge that in the event of a breach of any of the terms contained in this Article 19, the Disclosing Party would suffer irreparable harm for which remedies at law, including damages, would be inadequate, and that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to equitable relief therefor by injunction, in addition to any and all rights and remedies available to it at law and in equity, without the requirement of posting a bond.

19.6 Term. The confidentiality obligations of this Article 19 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for a period of five (5) years following the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, except Lenders’ confidentiality obligations pursuant to Section 19.2 will expire after a period of two (2) years following the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

Article 20

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

20.1 Contractor Aggregate Liability. Contractor shall not be liable to Owner under this Agreement for cumulative aggregate amounts in excess of one hundred percent (100%) of the Guaranteed Maximum Price (as may be adjusted by Change Order); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitation of liability set forth in this Section 20.1 shall not (i) apply to Contractor’s personal injury or third party indemnification obligations under this Agreement; (ii) apply to Contractor’s obligation to deliver to Owner full legal title to and ownership of all or any portion of the Work and Project as required under this Agreement; (iii) include builder’s all risk insurance proceeds received with respect to the builder’s all risk insurance required under this Agreement; or (iv) apply in the event of Contractor’s fraud, willful misconduct, abandonment of the Work or gross negligence. In no event shall the limitation of liability set forth in this Section 20.1 be in any way deemed to limit Contractor’s obligation to perform all Work required to achieve Substantial Completion or Final Completion and the costs incurred by Contractor in performing the Work (including Corrective Work) shall not be counted against the limitation of liability set forth in this Section 20.1. For avoidance of doubt, amounts paid to Owner by Contractor for Delay Liquidated Damages shall be counted against the limitation of liability set forth in this Section 20.1. For purposes of this Section 20.1, “third party” means any Person other than Owner or its Affiliates.

20.2 Limitation on Contractor’s Liability for Delay Liquidated Damages.

20.2.1. Delay Liquidated Damages. Subject to Section 20.2.2, Contractor’s maximum liability to Owner for Delay Liquidated Damages for the Project shall not exceed […***…] of the Guaranteed Maximum Price (as may be adjusted by Change Order) in the aggregate.

20.2.2. Exceptions to Limitations of Liability Under Section 20.2. Section 20.2.1 shall not be construed to limit Contractor’s other obligations or liabilities under this Agreement (including (i) its obligations to complete the Work for the compensation provided under this Agreement, (ii) its obligations to achieve the Milestone Dates, Mechanical Completion, Substantial Completion and Final Completion of the Project subject to Section 20.2.1, which shall remain effective irrespective of this Section 20.2.2 and (iii) its obligations with respect to Minimum Acceptance Criteria and Warranties), nor shall the limits specified in this Section 20.2 apply in the event of fraud, abandonment of the Work, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Contractor.

20.3 Delay Liquidated Damages In General.

20.3.1. Delay Liquidated Damages Not Penalty. It is expressly agreed that Delay Liquidated Damages payable under this Agreement do not constitute a penalty and that the Parties, having negotiated in good faith for such specific Delay Liquidated Damages and having agreed that the amount of such Delay Liquidated Damages is reasonable in light of the anticipated harm caused by the breach related thereto and the difficulties of proof of loss and inconvenience or nonfeasibility of obtaining any adequate remedy, are estopped from contesting the validity or enforceability of such Delay Liquidated Damages. If Contractor, Guarantor or anyone on their behalf successfully challenges the enforceability of the agreed upon amount of the Delay Liquidated Damages (such as the amounts, though agreed to, are now a penalty), Contractor specifically agrees to pay Owner all actual damages incurred by Owner in connection with such breach, including any and all consequential damages (such as loss of profits and revenues, business interruption, loss of opportunity and use) and all costs incurred by Owner in proving the same, without regard to any limitations whatsoever set forth in this Agreement.

20.3.2. Delay Liquidated Damages as Exclusive Damages. Payment of any Delay Liquidated Damages with respect to any Work shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, Contractor’s other obligations under this Agreement and shall in no way affect Owner’s right to terminate this Agreement under Article 16 or receive other Delay Liquidated Damages or remedies contemplated in this Agreement for any other aspect of Contractor’s obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing and without limitation of Owner’s rights under Section 16.1, Delay Liquidated Damages shall be the sole and exclusive damages owed by Contractor for Contractor’s delay in achieving Substantial Completion by the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date.

20.3.3. Payment of Delay Liquidated Damages. With respect to Delay Liquidated Damages that accrue, Owner, at its sole discretion, may either (i) invoice Contractor for such owed Delay Liquidated Damages, and within seven (7) Days of Contractor’s receipt of such invoice, Contractor shall pay Owner Delay Liquidated Damages, (ii) withhold from Contractor amounts that are otherwise due and payable to Contractor in the amount of such Delay Liquidated Damages, or (iii) collect on the Letter of Credit in the amount of such Delay Liquidated Damages upon giving Contractor three (3) Days’ written notice pursuant to Section 10.2 and Contractor’s failure to pay such Delay Liquidated Damages within such three (3) Day period. In addition, Contractor shall pay Owner all Delay Liquidated

Damages, if any, owed under this Agreement for Substantial Completion as a condition precedent to achieving Substantial Completion.

20.4 Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, neither Owner nor Contractor shall be liable under this Agreement or under any cause of action related to the subject matter of this Agreement, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, products liability, indemnity, contribution, or any other cause of action for special, indirect, incidental or consequential losses or damages, including loss of profits, use, opportunity, revenues, financing, bonding capacity, or business interruptions, or damages or losses for principal office expenses including compensation of personnel stationed there; provided that […***…].

In the event that Owner elects to sell, assign or novate its interest in the Work or the Project to any Person other than Owner’s Lender, equity partners, Affiliates or any equity owner of Owner, Owner shall promptly furnish reasonable evidence to Contractor, that the Person to whom Owner intends to assign or novate Owner’s interest has the ability to perform the obligations required by the terms of this Agreement and has adequate funds available as demonstrated by a current credit report, current financial statements and current bank statements or other supporting documentation as is reasonably required by Contractor.
