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




    13


     


    

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 Don Chaney 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.

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 NTP, Contractor shall submit its procurement
process to Owner for




    14


     


    

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.


2.4.1.2.                       
Prior Subcontracts with Owner’s Prior EPC Contractor. Contractor, at its option, may either take assignment of existing
subcontracts with Owner’s Prior EPC contractor, enter into new Subcontracts with existing subcontractors, or enter into new
subcontracts with new subcontractors. In all cases and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Contractor assumes
all responsibility for such subcontractors, with such subcontractors being considered Subcontractors under this Agreement, and
the responsibility under such subcontracts, with such subcontracts being considered Subcontracts under this Agreement. Sections
2.4.1 and 2.4.5 shall not apply to the existing subcontracts with Owner’s Prior EPC contractor that Contractor takes
assignment of.


2.4.1.3.                       
Contractor may use an Offshore Affiliate to perform certain engineering Work. Contractor shall be fully responsible for
the Work and all acts and omissions of such Offshore Affiliate, and such Offshore Affiliate shall be bound by the terms of this
Agreement.


2.4.2.     
Selection. Subject to the terms of Section 2.4.1, 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




    15


     


    

with the preceding sentence. Owner
shall undertake in good faith to review the information provided by Contractor pursuant to this Section 2.4.1.1 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.

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, an indemnity in substance the same as that included

of the release of any Hazardous Material that is not Contractor’s responsibility pursuant to the previous sentence (after
disposal or other decision by Owner regarding treatment of such Hazardous Material), to the extent that any such suspension materially
and adversely affects Contractor’s actual cost or time for performance of the Work, Contractor shall be entitled to a Change
Order to the extent of the material and adverse effect. Contractor shall not, and shall cause its Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors
to not, take any action that may exacerbate any such contamination. In addition to Contractor’s obligations as set forth

submit to Owner current updates to the CPM Schedule every four (4) weeks. Contractor shall promptly correct any errors or inconsistencies
in the updates to the CPM Schedule identified to Contractor by Owner and resubmit a corrected update for Owner’s review.


5.3.3.     
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

    35


     


    

Completion is forecasted to occur
twenty (20) or more Days after the applicable Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date or a Milestone is forecasted to occur twenty
(20) 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 twenty (20) or more Days after the applicable Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date
or a Milestone is forecasted to occur twenty (20) or more Days after the applicable Milestone Date or (iii) Contractor fails to
achieve a Milestone within twenty (20) 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 twenty (20) Business Days after such order. If Owner disapproves the Recovery Schedule then Contractor shall,
as soon as reasonably possible, but no later than twenty (20) Business Days after such disapproval, provide a new Recovery Schedule

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.

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. Prior to the execution of
any Change Order under this Section Error! Reference source not found., Owner shall notify Contractor of the nature
of the proposed addition to, omission from, deletion from, suspension of, or any other modification or adjustment to the requirements
of this Agreement, by issuing an Owner’s Change Request to Contractor in the form of Schedule D-3.


6.1.1.     
Within five (5) Business Days, or such longer period of time as agreed upon by Owner and Contractor in writing, after Contractor’s
receipt of such Owner’s Change




    36


     


    

Request, Contractor shall respond
to Owner with a written statement in the form of Schedule D-3 detailing:


6.1.1.1.                       
the description of Work to be performed;


6.1.1.2.                       
a preliminary assessment of the effect (if any) such request, were it to be implemented by Change Order, would have on the
Compensation, Milestone Dates, CPM Schedule, Payment Schedule, Minimum Acceptance Criteria, GMP, or any other obligation or potential
liability of Contractor hereunder (collectively or individually, the “Changed Criteria”); and


6.1.1.3.                       
the original Owner’s Change Request number and revision numbers.


6.1.2.     
After submission of Contractor’s written assessment in accordance with Section 6.1.1 and upon Owner’s
written request, Contractor shall provide Owner within ten (10) Business Days, a comprehensive written estimate setting forth in
detail the effect, if any, which such request, if implemented by Change Order, would have on the Changed Criteria. This detailed
estimate shall include all information required by Section 6.5.2, be in the form of Schedule D-4, Part 2 and supplement
and supersede the assessment provided under Section 6.1.1.


6.1.3.     
If the Parties agree on such Changed Criteria for such request, the Parties shall execute a 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.


6.1.4.     
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 0, 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 in accordance with Article
7. Contractor shall provide Owner, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a unilateral Change Order (unless a longer
time is otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Parties in writing), a comprehensive written statement in accordance with Section
6.1.2 detailing 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), 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. Contractor shall provide Owner with bi-weekly schedule updates of Contractor’s progress in such unilateral
Change Order Work, along with its projected completion date for such Work, as well as all costs to be incurred for such Work over
the next thirty (30) Days.




    37


     


    

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.


6.1.5.     
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;

6.2.2.     
Should Contractor desire to request a Change Order under this Section 6.2, Contractor shall, pursuant to Section
6.5, notify Owner in writing in the form set forth in Schedule D-4, Part 1 and issue to Owner a request for a proposed
Change Order in the form attached hereto as Schedule D-4, Part 2, a detailed explanation of the proposed change and

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

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 6.1.4 or 6.2.4, then
the Guaranteed Maximum Price shall be adjusted using rates set forth in Attachment C, Schedule C-1, 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 0 or 6.2.3 by the Parties, and unilateral Change Orders entered
into pursuant to Section 6.1.4 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 0 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 in the form of Schedule D-4, Part 1 of the existence of such circumstance within fifteen
(15) Days of the date that Contractor knew or




    40


     


    

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 in the form of Schedule D-4, Part 2 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




    41


     


    

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, and (ii) an adjustment to the Guaranteed Maximum Price for the costs incurred by Contractor
that could not be mitigated by commercially reasonable efforts and that are not covered by insurance, 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 Guaranteed Maximum Price 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. Subject
to Sections 2.5.1 and 3.1.1, 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




    42


     


    

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.


Article

Compensation AND PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR


7.1 
Compensation. As compensation in full
to Contractor for the full and complete performance of the Work and all of Contractor’s other obligations under this Agreement
with respect to the Work, Owner shall pay and Contractor shall accept the Direct Costs of the Work, the Overhead Fee, and the Contractor’s
Fee, all as described below (collectively, the “Compensation”), up to the Guaranteed Maximum Price in
accordance with Section 7.2. The Compensation and Guaranteed Maximum Price are subject to adjustment only by Change Order
as provided in provided in Article 6 and include all Taxes, costs, charges, and expenses of whatever nature applicable to
the Work. For the avoidance of doubt, the Guaranteed Maximum Price does not include California state and local sales and use taxes
for which Owner shall reimburse Contractor pursuant to Article 8.


7.2 
Guaranteed Maximum Price.


7.2.1.     
The sum of the Direct Costs of the Work, the Overhead Fee, and the Contractor’s Fee (excluding California sales and
use tax per Section 7.1 above) is guaranteed by Contractor not to exceed One Hundred Seventy Eight Million Thirteen Thousand
One Hundred and Sixty Four U.S. Dollars (U.S. $ 178,013,164.00 ) (the “Guaranteed Maximum Price” or “GMP”),
subject to additions and deductions by Change Order as provided in the Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, (i) Contractor shall not charge and Owner shall not be required to pay any amounts which would otherwise be considered
a part of the Compensation if such Work arises out of or relates to Contractor’s gross negligence or fault, or any amounts
defined as a Disallowed Cost, and (ii) Contractor shall not charge and Owner shall not be required to




    43


     


    

pay any amounts in excess of the
Guaranteed Maximum Price (which is subject to adjustment by Change Order as permitted in Article 6 of this Agreement).


7.2.2.     
Contractor shall include with its CPM Schedule submission pursuant to Section 5.3.1 a schedule of values (“Schedule
of Values”) for the Project, which shall be comprised of no less than one hundred (100) activities and an associated
price for each activity. The Schedule of Values shall be submitted for Owner’s approval and once agreed upon, shall be included
via Change Order in Attachment C, Schedule C-2. Afterwards, Contractor in its Monthly Progress Report shall provide
a percent completion of each activity and amounts remaining to be Invoiced for such activity. Contractor may reallocate amounts
within the Schedule of Values (increasing the amounts of some line items and decreasing others) as reasonably necessary to maintain
its cash flow but only if such reallocation reasonably allocates the remaining payments so that the GMP will not be exceeded before
achieving Substantial Completion (and in all cases, subject to Section 7.2.3).


7.2.3.     
Attachment C, Schedule C-3 includes a schedule of the maximum cumulative amounts that Contractor is allowed
to Invoice Owner at any one time during the performance of the Work (the “Maximum Cumulative Payment Schedule”).
Contractor may not at any time invoice cumulative amounts in excess of the amount listed in Maximum Cumulative Payment Schedule
without Owner’s prior written consent.


7.2.4.     
Attachment BB sets forth how the Parties calculated (i) the Guaranteed Maximum Price, and (ii) any future credits
which shall reduce the Guaranteed Maximum Price by payments Owner makes to Owner’s Prior EPC Contractor after the Effective
Date of the Agreement for Work performed under Owner’s Prior EPC Agreement.


7.3 
Direct Costs to be Reimbursed. Owner
shall reimburse Contractor for the Direct Costs of the Work in accordance with this Agreement. “Direct Costs of the
Work” means the actual costs necessarily incurred by the Contractor in the proper performance of the Work. Such actual
costs for labor shall be at rates not higher than those set forth in the Payment Schedule except with prior consent of the Owner,
provided that the Hourly Rates shall only be subject to adjustment as the relevant union agreement(s) expires or as a matter of
Change in Law. The Direct Costs of the Work shall include only the items set forth in this Section 7.3 and shall exclude
(i) those items within the definition of Overhead Costs in Section 7.4 and (ii) those items within the definition of Contractor’s
Fee in Section 7.5, but shall include those items within the definition of Affiliate Costs in Section 7.7. Where any cost
is subject to the Owner’s prior approval, Contractor shall obtain this approval prior to incurring the cost.


7.3.1.     
Labor Costs.


7.3.1.1.                       
Owner shall pay the hourly rates for labor pursuant to this Section 7.3.1.1 below (the “Hourly Rates”)
at rates (and components of rates) not higher than those set forth in the Payment Schedule for Contractor’s personnel and
Affiliate Subcontractors’ personnel engaged in the Work and all Subcontractor personnel engaged in the Work on a cost-plus
basis (without a lump sum or fixed price). Owner shall also pay the applicable overtime Hourly Rates in accordance




    44


     


    

with Section 7.3.1.8 below,
provided that Contractor actually pays overtime to such personnel in accordance with Section 7.3.1.8. Hourly Rates shall
apply to each billable man-hour actually paid in the proper performance of the Work. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary anywhere
in this Section 7.3 or in this Agreement, billable manhour for union personnel shall mean the hours paid for by Contractor
in accordance with the relevant union agreements.


7.3.1.2.                       
Hourly Rates for union personnel shall be all-inclusive and shall show the following cost breakdown for Contractor or the
applicable Subcontractor or Affiliate Subcontractor: (i) the amount of the regular, actual taxable wages, actual fringe benefits
for such employee; (ii) an amount for Contractor’s full statutory burdens, of taxable wages including statutory payroll liabilities
for such employee, including, where required by Applicable Law, social security tax, Medicare tax, federal and state unemployment
tax, local payroll tax, worker’s compensation and (iii) an amount for all additional costs incurred by Contractor or the
applicable Subcontractor or Affiliate Subcontractor insurance accruals for the insurances covered by Contractor. No other amounts
shall be permitted to be Invoiced unless included and itemized in the cost breakdown set forth above.


7.3.1.3.                       
Hourly Rates for non-union personnel shall be all-inclusive and shall consist of (i) the amount of the regular, actual taxable

security tax, Medicare tax, federal and state unemployment tax, local payroll tax, and worker’s compensation. Such markup
shall also include amounts for all additional costs incurred by Contractor or the applicable Subcontractor or Affiliate Subcontractor,
such as insurance premiums regularly paid by Contractor for such employee’s health, life, dental, disability and accident
insurance, contributions regularly made by Contractor to such employee’s 401k, IRA, HSA and FSA accounts, and vacation and
sick pay for such employee. No additional amounts shall be permitted to be Invoiced. Hourly Rates for Contractor’s Offshore
Affiliates personnel shall be an all-inclusive unit rate of fifty five U.S. Dollars ($55.00) per hour and shall be deemed to cover:
(i) the regular, actual taxable wages for such employee; and (ii) Contractor’s Offshore Affiliate taxable wages including
statutory payroll liabilities for such employee, including, where required by Applicable Law, social security tax, Medicare tax,
federal and state unemployment tax, local payroll tax, worker’s compensation, insurance premiums regularly paid by Contractor’s
Offshore Affiliate for such employee’s health, life, dental, disability and accident insurance, contributions regularly made

such employee. No other amounts shall be permitted to be Invoiced unless included and itemized in the cost breakdown set forth
above.

7.3.1.4.                       
 The breakdown of the regular, taxable wages paid to Contractor’s personnel, as well as the burdens described above,
are attached to this Agreement as part of the Payment Schedule.


7.3.1.5.                       
In addition to those items identified in Section above, the Hourly Rates shall be inclusive of the costs and expenses
related to basic safety supplies and small tools with less than a one thousand U.S. Dollar (U.S. $1,000) dollar replacement value.


7.3.1.6.                       
“Show-up Pay” means costs for Contractor’s personnel unable to work due to reasons outside
of Contractor’s reasonable control. In the event any of Contractor’s personnel show up to work but are unable to perform
Work that Day for reasons outside of Contractor’s reasonable control, Contractor shall be reimbursed Show-up Pay by Owner.
Such reimbursement shall be for the greater of two (2) hours or the hours actually worked that Day, per reimbursable employee.
Show-up Pay must be approved by Owner in signed timesheets as required prior to reimbursement. Contractor shall not be reimbursed
Show-up Pay for any personnel costs included in the Contractor’s Fee or the Overhead Costs.


7.3.1.7.                       
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Hourly Rates and their components shall only be subject to adjustment as the applicable
union agreements expire or as a matter of Change in Law.


7.3.1.8.                       
Owner will reimburse Contractor for any overtime approved in writing, being time expended in the performance of the Work
exceeding the overtime thresholds established by the relevant union agreement(s) or, if no union agreements apply, the Applicable
Law will govern.


7.3.1.9.                       
Approval is required for any hours worked over forty (40) hours a week, and any hours worked on weekends.


7.3.1.10.                   
Owner will reimburse Contractor for per-diem(s) and travel pay based on the actual costs incurred by Contractor. Contractor
shall seek Owner’s prior written approval for the personnel who will receive per diem and/or travel pay.


7.3.2.     
Subcontract Costs. Excluding Contractor’s Offshore Affiliates, payments made by Contractor to Subcontractors
in accordance with the requirements of the Subcontracts will be at actual cost (provided that Hourly Rates are Invoiced as set
forth in Section 7.3.1 unless it is a fixed price or lump sum subcontract, in which case, the entire amount is invoiced at actual
cost). Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments made by Contractor to Subcontractors under Subcontracts to which Contractor has
taken assignment from Owner or Owner’s Prior EPC Contractor shall be Invoiced in accordance with the requirements of such
Subcontracts.


7.3.3.     
Costs of Materials, Consumables, and Equipment Incorporated in the Completed Construction. Costs, including
transportation and storage, of materials and Equipment incorporated or to be incorporated in the completed construction and costs

facilities, utilities, structures, furniture, machinery, equipment, form work, welding gases and electrodes, and hand tools not
customarily owned by construction workers that are provided by Contractor at the Site and costs of transportation, installation,
minor repairs, dismantling and removal thereof. Rates of Contractor-owned Construction Equipment are set forth in the Payment Schedule
and the quantities and scheduling of such Construction Equipment shall be agreed upon with Owner in advance of any use at the Site.
Owner shall not be responsible for reimbursing Contractor for any period of time in which Construction Equipment is not fully capable
of performing Work (i.e., periods of repair or maintenance) or for storage of Construction Equipment that is not needed
for the construction activities contemplated, unless agreed to by Owner. Construction Equipment is not fully capable of performing
Work during mobilization, demobilization, erection and disassembly, and decontamination and washing of such Construction Equipment.

Payment shall be credited back to Owner in an amount equal to [...***...] ([...***...]%) of each amount Invoiced
by Contractor throughout the execution of Work, provided that Contractor may not retain any amount of the Deposit Payment at Substantial
Completion, and Contractor shall, as an additional condition to achieving Substantial Completion, release all remaining amounts
of the Deposit Payment to Owner (if any). Additionally, in the event of the termination of this Agreement for any reason, Contractor
shall return the remainder of the Deposit Payment to Owner, as further described in Section 16.2.


7.8.3.

7.11                     
 Payments Withheld. In addition to disputed

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

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.

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. Owner shall pay Contractor the amount withheld
or collected on the Letter of Credit if Contractor (i) pays, satisfies or discharges the applicable claim of Owner against Contractor
under or by virtue of this Agreement and provides Owner with reasonable evidence of such payment, satisfaction or discharge, (ii)
cures all such breaches and Defaults in the performance of this Agreement, or (iii) provides Owner with a bank guarantee, bond,
or separate letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to Owner in the amount of the withheld payment. 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




    53


     


    

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

restored the Letter of Credit as required by Section 7.15.


7.17                     
Savings. At the end of the Defect Correction
Period, the Contractor shall deliver a final accounting of the cost of the Work (including Direct Costs of the Work, the Overhead
Fee, the Contractor’s Fee) (collectively the “Actual Contract Sum”) to the Owner. If the Actual
Contract Sum is less than the GMP (as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement), then the amount of the difference between the GMP and
the Actual Contract Sum is the cost savings for the Project (“Cost Savings”). Owner shall pay Contractor
f[...***...] ([...***...]%) of the Costs Savings up to a Costs Savings of [...***...] U.S. Dollars ($[...***...])
(i.e., a maximum payment of [...***...] U.S. Dollars ($[...***...])). For any Cost Savings in excess of
[...***...] U.S. Dollars (U.S. $[...***...]), Owner shall pay Contractor [...***...] ([...***...]%)
of such Cost Savings. If the Actual Contract Sum is greater than the GMP, the amount in excess of the GMP incurred by Contractor
will not be reimbursed by Owner. Within seven (7) Days after determining the Actual Contract Sum, Contractor shall be entitled
to invoice Owner for its share of the Cost Savings. No later than thirty (30) Days after receipt by Owner of such Invoice and all
requested documentation, Owner shall, subject to its rights to withhold payment under the Agreement, pay Contractor its share of
the Cost Savings as determined in accordance with this Section 7.17.


Article

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)




    54


     


    

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

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. Without limiting Contractor’s rights to
a mechanic’s lien as permitted in this 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. 


9.2.1.     
Prior to Substantial Completion. 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 (a) the costs
associated with such physical loss or damage exceeds the aggregate limits or sub-limits of the builder’s risk insurance to
be obtained by Owner pursuant to Attachment O, (b) such physical loss or damage is not insured under the builder’s
risk insurance policy required to be provided by Owner under Section 2.1.1 of Attachment O to this Agreement because of
the Owner’s failure to




    55


     


    

maintain such policies in full
force and effect at all times required under this Agreement, or (c) such physical loss or damage is not insured under such policies
because of an exclusion, term or condition of such policies; provided however, exception (c) shall not apply (and Contractor shall
therefore bear the risk of physical loss and damage) to the extent such physical loss or damage would have been covered by such
policies but for an act or omission of Contractor or any Subcontractor.


9.2.2.     
After Substantial Completion. After Substantial Completion of the Work, Owner shall bear the risk of physical
loss and damage to the Work, provided that Contractor shall be liable to Owner for all damages, costs, losses and expenses arising
from or related to physical loss and damage to any portion of the Work after the Work achieves Substantial Completion to the extent
such physical loss and damage arises out of or results from or is related to the negligence or fault of any Contractor Indemnified
Party or Subcontractors, subject to a cap in liability of [...***...] U.S. Dollars (U.S.$ [...***...]) per occurrence.
Contractor’s liability arising under this Section 9.2.2 may be charged against the contingency that is contained within the
Guaranteed Maximum Price prior to the determination of any Cost Savings under Section 7.17; provided that, Contractor shall first
seek recovery for such liability from the applicable Subcontractor(s), if any, responsible for the physical loss and damage to
any portion the Work after the Work achieves Substantial Completion.


9.2.3.     
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.

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. All policies providing coverage hereunder shall contain a provision that at least thirty
(30) Days’ prior written notice shall be given to the non-procuring Parties and additional insureds prior to cancellation,
non-renewal or material change in the coverage with ten (10) Days’ notice prior to cancellation for non-payment of premium.


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




    56


     


    

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 first installment of the Deposit 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.




    57


     


    

10.2.1. 
 The amount of the Letter of Credit shall decrease to an aggregate amount of [...***...] ([...***...]%)
of the Guaranteed Maximum Price upon the commercial bank’s receipt from Owner of (i) a copy of the Substantial Completion
Certificate signed by Contractor and (ii) a copy of the Owner acceptance or rejection of Substantial Completion form signed by
Owner showing that Owner accepts the Substantial Completion Certificate. No later than ten (10) Days after Owner’s acceptance
of the Substantial Completion Certificate, Owner shall provide the commercial bank that issued the Letter of Credit with written
notice of such acceptance.


10.2.2.

of (i) a copy of the Final Completion Certificate signed by Contractor and (ii) a copy of the Owner acceptance or rejection of
Final Completion form signed by Owner showing that Owner accepts the Final Completion Certificate. No later than ten (10) Days
after Owner’s acceptance of the Final Completion Certificate, Owner shall provide the commercial bank that issued the Letter
of Credit with written notice of such acceptance.


10.2.3. 
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 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.

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.

10.3.2. 
 Material Adverse Change. If at any time during the term of this Agreement, a Material Adverse Change shall
occur, Owner may, in its sole discretion and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies it may have hereunder, require further
assurances, as a condition of Owner’s further performance under this Agreement, of (i) Contractor’s creditworthiness,
financial responsibility and ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) Guarantor’s creditworthiness,
financial responsibility and ability to perform its obligations under the Parent Guarantee, and Contractor shall comply with such
further assurances. Owner shall notify Contractor regarding its request for such assurances, including, in form and amount satisfactory
to Owner, any one or more of prepayments, a letter of credit or payment and performance bond. “Material Adverse Change”
for the purposes of this Section 10.3.2 means adverse changes, events or effects that have occurred or been threatened which
could reasonably be likely to (i) materially adversely affect the business, operations, properties, condition (financial or
otherwise), assets or liabilities of Contractor or Guarantor; (ii) prevent or materially delay the performance by Contractor of
any of its obligations under this Agreement; (iii) create a reasonable basis for Owner to have serious doubts about Contractor’s
creditworthiness, financial responsibility or ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement; (iv) prevent or materially
delay performance by Guarantor of any of its obligations under the Parent Guarantee; or (v) create a reasonable basis for Owner
to have serious doubts about Guarantor’s creditworthiness, financial responsibility or ability to perform its obligations
under the Parent Guarantee. Upon Contractor’s failure to provide to Owner, in form and amount satisfactory in Owner’s
reasonable opinion, assurances of Contractor’s or Guarantor’s creditworthiness, as the case may be, financial responsibility
and ability to perform its obligations hereunder within thirty (30) Days following Owner’s request for such assurance, Owner
may terminate this Agreement for Default upon notice to Contractor given no less than seven (7) Days in advance of the effective
date of such termination.

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 any other agreement between Owner and Contractor relating to the Project (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,

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 forty-five (45) 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.
As a condition of Contractor’s achievement of Substantial Completion, the




    61


     


    

Project shall achieve all Minimum
Acceptance Criteria, 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
3.1.3.


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 14.1 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




    62


     


    

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




    63


     


    

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
Compensation 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




    64


     


    

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); (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); and (v) 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




    65


     


    

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 preventative maintenance procedures delivered by Contractor or Subcontractors
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 NTP, 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 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




    67


     


    

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; provided, however, Contractor shall not be liable for any increased costs to access the Defect
to perform such Corrective Work to the extent such increased costs are due to Owner’s modification of the Project after Substantial
Completion that obstructs Contractor’s access to the Defective Work. 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) 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

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

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




    71


     


    

Equipment to perform and complete
the Project without delay; (vi) be in Default pursuant to Sections 5.3.5, 6.1.4 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 (provided Owner is not in breach of its payment obligations
under this Agreement as it relates to the subject lien); (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 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 reasonable 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




    72


     


    

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




    73


     


    

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. With respect to the Deposit 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 Deposit 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,




    74


     


    

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, subject to Owner’s right to withhold or offset payment to Contractor under this Agreement, if Owner fails
to pay undisputed amounts due and owing to Contractor and Owner has failed to cure such failure within seven (7) Days following
Contractor’s written notice to Owner to cure such failure, Contractor may suspend performance of the Work until Contractor
receives such undisputed amounts.


16.5                     
Termination by Contractor. Contractor
may only terminate this Agreement if, continuing at the time of such termination, Contractor has stopped the performance of all
Work under this Agreement pursuant to Section 16.4 for fifteen (15) Days, and after the expiration of such fifteen (15)
Day period, Contractor gives Owner written notice specifying the nature of the default and its intent to terminate the Agreement,
and Owner fails to cure such default within fifteen (15) Days after receipt of Contractor’s notice. In the event of any such
termination under this Section 16.5, Contractor shall have the rights (and Owner shall make the payments) provided
for in Section 16.2 in the event of an Owner termination for convenience. Contractor’s sole right to terminate this
Agreement is set forth in this Section 16.5.

INDEMNITIES


17.1                     
General Indemnification. In addition
to its indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligations contained elsewhere in this Agreement, Contractor shall fully indemnify,
hold harmless and defend Owner Indemnified Parties from any and all Claims arising out of the following:


17.1.1. 
failure of Contractor or its Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors to comply with Applicable Law, Applicable Codes and Standards,
GECP, or safety requirements under this Agreement;


17.1.2. 
actual or alleged violation or infringement of any domestic or foreign patents, copyrights or trademarks or other intellectual
property, or any misappropriation or improper use of confidential information or other proprietary rights that may be attributable
to Contractor or any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor in connection with the Work;


17.1.3. 
actual or alleged contamination, spill, release, discharge, pollution or otherwise of the air, land or water as a result
of Hazardous Materials that are brought onto




    75


     


    

the Site by Contractor or its
Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors arising out of acts or omissions of Contractor’s or any Subcontractor’s or Sub-subcontractor’s
use, handling or disposal of such Hazardous Materials during the performance of the Work, and any environmental damage of any other
nature to the extent resulting from failure by Contractor or any of its Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors to stop Work after
encountering Pre-Existing Hazardous Materials at the Site as required under Section 3.17 or the acts or omissions of Contractor
or its Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors during the performance of the Work subject to the terms of Section 3.18;


17.1.4. 
claims by any Governmental Instrumentality as a result of a failure by Contractor or any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor
to pay Taxes, and claims by a Governmental Instrumentality for California state or local sales and use tax on Equipment for which
Owner provided Contractor with a valid applicable California state and local sales and use tax exemption certificate or direct
pay exemption certificate;


17.1.5. 
failure of Contractor to make payments to any Subcontractor in accordance with the respective Subcontract (provided Owner
is not in breach of its payment obligations under this Agreement as it relates to the subject lien);


17.1.6. 
injury to, illness or death of any Person, or loss of or damage to any property of any Person, only to the extent resulting
from the fault, negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Contractor Indemnified Party, any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor
or any employee, officer, director or agent of any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor;


17.1.7. 
any failure of Contractor to maintain insurance coverages in accordance with this Agreement; or


17.1.8. 
any breach by Contractor of its confidentiality obligations under Article 19.


17.2                     
Owner’s Indemnity for Personal Injury and Property Damage.
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, and the Project, which is addressed in Section 9.2 and the Construction Equipment) only to the
extent resulting from the fault, 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




    76


     


    

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 3.1.3); (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, 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 direct




    77


     


    

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 direct 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 direct 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




    78


     


    

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.

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.




    79


     


    

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, including Owner’s right to terminate pursuant to
Article 16.

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 (including any and all documents, manuals, work product, and information of Owner’s Prior EPC Contractor that was provided
to Contractor) 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,

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,




    80


     


    

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 under the Agreement, 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.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY


20.1                     
Contractor Aggregate Liability. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted by the governing law of this Agreement,
Contractor shall not be liable to Owner for any loss, damage (including damage to Owner’s or others property), injury, claim,
fees, or expense (including legal costs and attorneys’ fees) resulting from Contractor’s Work or Contractor’s
negligence (including active, passive, sole, joint or concurrent negligence) or any other theory or legal liability (including
breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort, strict liability, unseaworthiness of any vessel, or unairworthiest of an aircraft)
arising under this Agreement for cumulative aggregate amounts in excess of [...***...] ([...***...]%) 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; or (iii) 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 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 20.2.1, Contractor’s maximum liability to Owner
for Delay Liquidated Damages for the Project shall not exceed ten percent (10%) 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 20.2.1 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




    82


     


    

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 per Day
(daily) amount of the Delay Liquidated Damages (such as that the amounts, though agreed to at the Effective Date, are now a penalty
once they are assessed in accordance with this Agreement), 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 the limitation
of liability set forth in this Section 20.4 shall not apply (i) to amounts encompassed within Delay Liquidated
Damages; (ii) to Contractor’s and Owner’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement for claims brought by any
third party; (iii) to Contractor’s confidentiality obligations under this




    83


     


    

Agreement; (iv) to Contractor’s
or Owner’s respective fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence; or (v) where consequential damages are expressly permitted
under Section 20.3.1. For the purposes of this Section 20.4, the term “Contractor” shall include Contractor,
its Affiliates, and the employees, officers, directors and shareholders of each of Contractor and its Affiliates, the term “Owner”
shall include Owner, its Affiliates, and the employees, officers, directors and shareholders of each of Owner and its Affiliates,
and the term “third party” shall mean any Person other than Contractor, Owner and their respective Affiliates.

Severability. If any provision or part thereof
in this Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability will not
impair the operation of or affect those remaining portions of such provision and this Agreement that are legal, valid and enforceable.
Such provision or part thereof will be modified so as to be legal, valid and enforceable consistent as closely as possible with
the intent of the original language of such provision or part thereof and shall be enforced to the extent possible consistent with
Applicable Law. If the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of such provision or part thereof cannot be modified consistent
with the intent of the original language, such provision will be deleted and treated as if it were never a part of this Agreement
and shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the provision or this Agreement.


21.6                     
Assignment. Neither Party may assign its rights,
title and interest in this Agreement to any other Person without the prior written consent of the non-assigning Party hereto, except
Owner may, without Contractor’s consent (i) assign, pledge or grant a security interest in this Agreement to any of Lender
or Owner’s equity partners or (ii) assign or novate its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement to any Affiliate
of Owner or any equity owner of Owner. 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




    85


     


    

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. If Owner fails to provide such financial information
in a timely manner, Contractor shall be entitled to reject such assignment. When duly assigned in accordance with the foregoing,
this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the assignee; provided that any assignment by Contractor
pursuant to this Section 21.6 shall not relieve Contractor of any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement.
Any assignment not in accordance with this Section 21.6 shall be void and without force or effect. This Agreement shall
be binding upon and inures to the benefit of the Parties hereto, their permitted successors and permitted assigns.


21.7                     
No Waiver. Any failure of either Party to
enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to require compliance with any of its terms at any time during the term of this
Agreement shall in no way affect the validity of this Agreement, or any part hereof, and shall not be deemed a waiver of the right
of such Party thereafter to enforce any and each such provisions.


21.8

Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. With
respect to the performance of the Work, Owner shall, Contractor shall, and Contractor shall cause each of its Subcontractors and
Sub-subcontractors, and the agents and employees of such Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors, to comply with all provisions of
the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of the United States (15 U.S.C. § 78dd-1 and 2) and shall not take any action that could
result in Contractor, Owner or any of their Affiliates becoming subject to any action, penalty or loss of benefits under such Act.

Priority. The documents that form this Agreement
are listed below in this Section 21.11 in order of priority, with the document having the highest priority
listed first and the one with the lowest priority listed last. Subject to Section 1.1 under the definition of Applicable
Codes and Standards regarding conflicts or inconsistencies between any Applicable Codes and Standards, in the event of any conflict
or inconsistency between a provision in one document and a provision in another document, the document with the higher priority
shall




    86

in a media interview that mentions or refers to the Work or the Project without the prior written consent of Owner in its reasonable
discretion. Under no circumstance shall Contractor permit access to the Site by third parties who are not involved in the performance
of the Work without prior written consent of Owner. Any announcement or press release issued by Contractor pertaining to the Work

Project and Contractor agrees to cooperate with Owner and Lender in connection with such project financing, including (i) to supply

direct agreement with the Lender (which shall be substantially in the form of Schedule Z-1), (iii) Guarantor to grant such
written consents to the assignment of the Parent Guarantee and entering into a direct agreement with the Lender (which shall be
substantially in the form of Schedule Z-2), (iv) to execute such amendments to this Agreement as any Lender may require
to the extent that the requested changes do not materially adversely affect the rights and obligations of Contractor hereunder,

in project financings of this type such as Lender assignment or security rights with respect to this Agreement, direct notices
to Lender, step-in/step-out rights, access by Lender’s representative and other matters applicable to such project financing;
provided however, that Contractor shall have no obligation to assume different obligations or responsibilities pursuant
to the Work than those existing under this Agreement. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that Owner’s execution of this Agreement
is contingent upon obtaining such non-recourse project financing and agrees further that in the event Owner does not obtain such
project financing, Owner shall




    87


     


    

not be liable to Contractor by
reason of any terms and conditions contained in or connected with this Agreement except to the extent Contractor is or has performed
work pursuant to written authorization received from Owner, provided, however, that Owner shall only be liable for Work
actually performed by Contractor.
