 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. 
 2.2 Key Personnel.
Attachment B sets forth a list of key personnel (“Key Personnel” or “Key Persons”) from Contractor’s organization who shall 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. In such event, Contractor shall replace such Key Person without additional expense to Owner. Key Personnel shall not be removed or
reassigned without Owner’s prior written approval. 
 2.3 Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors. Owner acknowledges and agrees
that Contractor intends to have portions of the Work performed 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 Subcontracts
and Sub-subcontracts shall be consistent with the terms 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 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 and its representatives 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 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 Estimated Contract Price or Project Schedule as a result of compliance with such policies and procedures or any removal of personnel necessitated by non-compliance.

 2.4 Subcontracts and Sub-subcontracts. 
 A. Proposed Subcontractors. Attachment L sets forth a list of Subcontractors that Contractor and Owner have agreed
are approved Subcontractors for the performance of that portion of the Work specified in Attachment L. In the event Contractor is considering the selection of a Subcontractor not listed in Attachment L, Contractor shall, within seven
(7) Days, prior to the selection of such Subcontractor, notify Owner in writing of the intended selection of such Subcontractor and inform Owner generally what portion of the Work such Subcontractor is performing. Owner shall have the
discretion to accept or reject any proposed Subcontractor, and Contractor shall not enter into any Subcontract with a proposed Subcontractor that is rejected by Owner. Owner shall either accept or reject such proposed Subcontractor within seven
(7) Days but shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a response to Contractor as soon as possible. Approval by Owner of any Subcontractors does not relieve Contractor of any responsibilities under this Agreement. 
 B. Terms of Subcontracts and 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 Subcontract and each Sub-subcontract shall contain all provisions required by the Contract Documents or necessary to
enable Contractor to comply with the terms thereof, including that such Subcontract or Sub-subcontract may be assigned to Owner without the consent of the respective Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor. 
 2.5 Contractor Investigations of the Site and Differing Site Conditions. Contractor has reviewed all information provided by Owner
as to the Site conditions. Contractor warrants that it has the experience, resources, qualifications and capabilities at its disposal to perform the Work in accordance with the Project Schedule. If concealed or unknown conditions be encountered
below the surface of the ground or in existing structures which are at variance with 

  

 7 







 
information, if any, furnished by Owner in writing under the Contract Documents, or which are of an unusual nature, differing materially from those
ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in this Agreement, then the Estimated Contract Price, Required Mechanical Completion Date, Required Substantial Completion Date, and Required Final
Completion Date may be adjusted by Change Order; provided, however, that Contractor shall notify Owner of such concealed or unknown condition within twenty-four (24) hours of its discovery and comply with all other requirements for
Change Orders identified in Article 6. Upon discovery, Contractor shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to further disturb such conditions. 
 ARTICLE 3 
 CONTRACTOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES 
 3.1 Scope of Work. The Work shall include all Equipment, Construction Equipment, labor, workmanship, inspection, manufacture, fabrication,

 3.4 Employment of Personnel. 
 A. Contractor shall not employ, or permit any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor to employ, in connection with its performance under this
Agreement anyone not skilled or qualified or anyone who is otherwise unfit to perform the work assigned to such Person. Contractor agrees to promptly remove (or to require any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor to remove) from its services in
connection with the Work any Person who does not meet the foregoing requirements. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, OWNER SHALL HAVE NO
LIABILITY AND CONTRACTOR AGREES TO RELEASE, INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS
THE OWNER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, OF
WHATSOEVER KIND OR NATURE, WHICH MAY ARISE OR RESULT FROM CONTRACTOR
OR ANY SUBCONTRACTOR OR SUB-SUBCONTRACTOR TERMINATING THE EMPLOYMENT OF OR
REMOVING FROM THE WORK ANY SUCH EMPLOYEE WHO FAILS TO MEET THE
FOREGOING REQUIREMENTS FOLLOWING A REQUEST BY OWNER TO HAVE SUCH EMPLOYEE
REMOVED FROM THE WORK. Contractor shall replace any such employee at its sole cost and expense. 
 B. Contractor and its Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors and the personnel of any of them shall not bring onto the Site: (i) any
firearm of whatsoever nature or any other object which in the sole judgment of Owner is determined to be a potential weapon, unless Applicable Law requires Owner to allow such items on the Site; (ii) alcoholic beverages of any nature;
(iii) any substance that creates a hazard and not related to the Work; (iv) illegal or non-prescription drugs of any nature; or (v) any prescription drugs without a valid prescription. Contractor and its Subcontractors and
Sub-subcontractors shall abide by and enforce the requirements of this Section 3.4B, and shall immediately remove from the Work and the Site, in accordance with Section 3.4A, any employee or agent of Contractor, Subcontractor or
Sub-subcontractor who, in Owner’s sole judgment, has violated the requirements of this Section 3.4B. 
 3.5 Clean-up.
Contractor shall, to Owner’s satisfaction, at all times keep the Site free from all waste materials or rubbish caused by the activities of Contractor or any of its Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors. Without limitation of the foregoing,
Contractor shall clean up all such waste materials or rubbish at Owner’s request with reasonable notice. As soon as practicable after the completion of all Punchlist items, Contractor shall with respect to such Work remove, at its own cost, all
Construction Equipment and other items not constituting part of the Project and remove all waste material and rubbish from the Site in accordance with industry standards, Permits and this Agreement. In the event of Contractor’s failure to
comply with this Section, Owner may accomplish the same; provided, however, Contractor shall be liable for and pay to Owner all costs associated with such removal.  
 3.6 Safety and Security. Contractor recognizes that safety and physical security are of paramount importance in the performance of the Work, and
that Contractor is responsible for performing the Work in a safe and physically secure manner. Contractor agrees to provide or cause to be provided necessary training and safety Construction Equipment, including properly functioning personal
protective equipment as appropriate and necessary for the performance of the Work, to its employees, Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors and enforce the use of such training and safety Construction Equipment. Contractor also agrees to provide a
Site safety representative who shall be on-Site at all times during performance of the Work. Contractor shall maintain all accident, injury and any other records required by Applicable Law and this Agreement. Contractor shall comply with all safety
requirements imposed by Applicable Law for the safety of Persons or property and shall conduct all Services in a safe and responsible manner. 
 3.7 Emergencies. In the event of any emergency endangering life or property in any way relating to the Work, the Project or the Site, whether on the Site or otherwise, Contractor shall take such action as may be reasonable and
necessary to prevent, avoid or mitigate injury, damage, or loss and shall, as soon as possible, report any such incidents, including Contractor’s response thereto, to Owner. If Contractor has not taken reasonable precautions for the safety of
the public or the protection of the Work, and such failure creates an emergency requiring immediate action, then Owner may, but shall be under no obligation to, take reasonable action as required to address such emergency. The taking of any such
action by Owner, or Owner’s failure to take any action, shall not limit Contractor’s liability. 
 3.8 Books, Records and
Audits. Contractor shall keep full and detailed books, construction logs, records, daily reports, accounts, schedules, payroll records, receipts, statements, electronic files, correspondence and other pertinent documents as may be necessary for
proper management under this Agreement, as required under Applicable Law or this Agreement, and in any way relating to this Agreement (“Books and Records”). Contractor shall maintain all such Books and Records in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles applicable in the United States, and shall retain all such Books and Records for a minimum period of three (3) years after Final Completion of the Project, or such greater 

  

 9 







 
period of time as may be required under Applicable Law. Upon reasonable notice, Owner and any of its representatives shall have the right to audit or to have
audited Contractor’s Books and Records with respect to: (i) any documents relating to safety, security, quality or Permits, and (ii) any amounts billed under unilateral Change Orders executed in accordance with this Agreement;
provided, however, such parties shall not have the right to audit or have audited Contractor’s Books and Records in connection with the internal composition of any compensation that is fixed in amount hereunder, such as the
composition of any fixed or unit pricing or the composition of any markups, fixed percentages or multipliers. When requested by Owner, Contractor shall provide the auditors with reasonable access to all such Books and Records, and Contractor’s
personnel shall cooperate with the auditors to effectuate the audit or audits hereunder. The auditors shall have the right to copy all such Books and Records. Contractor shall bear at its own cost and expense all costs incurred by it in assisting
Owner with audits performed pursuant to this Section 3.8. Contractor shall include audit provisions identical to this Section 3.8 in all Subcontracts. The restrictions in this Section 3.8 to the audit rights shall not control over any
rights such parties have under Applicable Law in discovery in any arbitration arising out of Section 17.2 of this Agreement. 
 3.9
Temporary Utilities, Roads, Facilities and Storage. Contractor shall provide, maintain, and remove from the Site upon Final Completion of the Work, all temporary offices, structures for the use of its employees, sheds, and storage facilities,
complete with all related utilities (i.e., electricity, water, communication, cable, telephone, waste and sewer). Contractor shall provide all temporary utilities necessary to perform and test the Work. Contractor shall construct and maintain
temporary access and haul roads as may be necessary for the proper performance of the Work. Roads constructed on the Site shall be subject to Owner’s written approval. All Equipment and other items comprising part of the Work stored at a

also in its native electronic format, provided on a computer diskette. Once the CPM Schedule and the required submittals have been reviewed and approved by Owner, such version of the CPM Schedule shall be the baseline CPM Schedule for the Work.

 B. Progress Updates to CPM Schedule. After approval by Owner of the baseline CPM Schedule described in
Section 5.3A, Contractor shall manage and update (no less frequently than twice per month) the CPM Schedule. Each updated CPM Schedule shall meet the requirements of Section 5.3A, and in addition shall (i) at a minimum, be prepared
with the same level of detail as the baseline CPM Schedule, (ii) reflect the Work as actually performed or as forecasted, and (iii) show any other information requested by Owner. Contractor shall submit to Owner current updates to the CPM
Schedule on a periodic basis, which shall be submitted with each Progress Report and Invoice. 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. 
 C. 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 Required Mechanical Completion
Date, Required Substantial Completion Date, or the Required Final Completion Date, nor shall it be construed to establish the reasonableness of the CPM Schedule. However, if Owner knows that the original CPM Schedule or any revisions are not
reasonable, Owner shall so advise Contractor. 
 5.4 Recovery and Recovery Schedule. If, at any time during the
prosecution of the Work, (i) should the CPM Schedule or Progress Report show that any activity on the critical path of the CPM Schedule is delayed such that Substantial Completion or Final Completion of the Work will occur fourteen (14) or
more Days after the Guaranteed Required Mechanical Completion Date, Guaranteed Required Substantial Completion Date, or Guaranteed Required Final Completion Date, and (ii) Contractor or any of its Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors are in
Owner’s reasonable judgment responsible for such delay, Owner may, in addition to any other remedies that it may have under this Agreement, require that Contractor prepare, at Contractor’s cost, a schedule to explain and display how it
intends to regain compliance with the CPM Schedule (“Recovery Schedule”). After the written notification by Owner of the requirement for a Recovery Schedule, Contractor shall: 
  

 13 







 A. Prepare the Recovery Schedule and submit it to Owner for its review within five
(5) Days of such written notification. The Recovery Schedule shall represent Contractor’s best judgment as to how it shall regain compliance with the CPM Schedule. 
 B. Participate in a conference with Owner, and with any other Person, including Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors, whom Owner
designates to participate, to review and evaluate the Recovery Schedule. Any revisions to the Recovery Schedule as a result of this review shall be resubmitted for review by Owner. 
 C. Perform the Work in accordance with the Recovery Schedule. In preparing and executing the Recovery Schedule, Contractor shall take all
steps necessary to regain compliance with the CPM Schedule, including establishing additional shifts, hiring additional manpower, paying or authorizing overtime, providing additional Construction Equipment, and resequencing activities. 

Owner’s requirement, review and approval of the Recovery Schedule shall not relieve Contractor of any obligations for the performance of the Work, change any
dates in the Project Schedule, or be construed to establish the reasonableness of the Recovery Schedule. 
 5.5 Acceleration and
Acceleration Schedule. Even if the Work is otherwise in compliance with the CPM Schedule, Owner may, at any time, direct Contractor by unilateral or mutually agreed Change Order to accelerate the Work by, among other things, establishing
additional shifts, paying or authorizing overtime, providing additional Construction Equipment or expediting Equipment. In the event of this directive, Owner’s sole liability shall be to pay Contractor any documented costs clearly and solely
attributable to such acceleration. Such costs may include 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, and overtime charges for Construction Equipment. Any adjustment to the Estimated Contract Price or any other Changed Criteria that the Parties agree will be changed by Owner’s acceleration of the Work shall
be implemented by Change Order. If Owner directs Contractor to accelerate the Work, Contractor shall immediately commence and diligently perform the acceleration of the Work, and shall prepare a schedule, for Owner’s review and approval, to
explain and display how it intends to accelerate the Work and how that acceleration will affect the critical path of the CPM Schedule (the “Acceleration Schedule “). The Owner-approved Acceleration Schedule shall be the
schedule which Contractor shall use in planning, organizing, directing, coordinating, performing, and executing that portion of the Work that is affected by such acceleration, with the CPM Schedule governing the performance of all other Work.
Owner’s requirement, review and approval of the Acceleration Schedule shall not constitute an independent evaluation or determination by Owner of the workability, feasibility, or reasonableness of the Acceleration Schedule. 
 ARTICLE 6 
 CHANGES; FORCE MAJEURE;
AND OWNER-CAUSED DELAY 
 6.1 Change Orders Requested by Owner. Owner shall be entitled to a Change Order upon request in
accordance with this Section 6.1. 
 A. If Owner submits to Contractor in writing a duly signed proposed Change Order,
Contractor must respond to Owner within five (5) Days with a written statement setting forth the effect, if any, which such proposed Change Order would have on the Estimated Contract Price, the Required Mechanical Completion Date, the Required
Substantial Completion Date, the Required Final Completion Date or any other obligation or potential liability of Contractor hereunder (collectively or individually, the “Changed Criteria”). The written statement shall
include all information required by Section 6.5B. 
 B. If the Parties agree on such Changed Criteria of the proposed
Change Order (or modify such Change Order so that the Parties agree on such Changed Criteria), the Parties shall execute such Change Order, which shall be in the form of Schedule D-1 and such Change Order shall become binding on the
Parties, as part of this Agreement. 
 C. If the Parties cannot agree on such Changed Criteria of the proposed Change Order
within ten (10) Business Days of Contractor’s receipt of Owner’s proposed Change Order, or if Owner desires that the proposed changed Work set forth in the proposed Change Order commence immediately without the requirement of a
written statement by Contractor as required under Section 6.1A, Owner may, by issuance of a unilateral Change Order in the form attached hereto as Schedule D-2, require Contractor to commence and 

  

 14 







 
perform the changed Work specified in the unilateral Change Order, at Owner’s option, either (i) on a time and materials basis using the rates set
forth in Schedule D-3 or, if not therein, at rates not to exceed then-current market rates with the effect of such unilateral Change Order on the Changed Criteria (or if the Parties agree on the effect of such unilateral Change Order for
some but not all of the Changed Criteria, the impact of each of the components of the Changed Criteria on which the Parties disagree) to be determined as soon as possible, or (ii) in accordance with the outcome of the Dispute resolution
procedures set forth in Article 17; provided, however, that Contractor shall perform the Work as specified in such unilateral Change Order and Owner shall continue to pay Contractor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any previously
agreed Change Orders pending resolution of the Dispute. When Owner and Contractor agree on the effect of such unilateral Change Order on all of the Changed Criteria, such agreement shall be recorded by execution by the Parties of a Change Order in
the form attached hereto as Schedule D-1, which shall supersede the unilateral Change Order previously issued and relating to such changed Work. Contractor shall be considered to be in Default under Section 15.1 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. 
 6.2 Change Orders Requested by Contractor. 
 A. Contractor shall have the right to a Change Order in the
event of any of the following occurrences: 
 1. To the extent expressly permitted under Section 5.1; 
 2. Acts or omissions of Owner that constitute a material breach of this Agreement by Owner and materially and adversely affect
Contractor’s actual cost (which costs shall be adequately documented and supported) of performance of the Work or ability to perform any material requirement under this Agreement and, with respect to delays (as that term is defined
Section 6.9) caused by Owner or any Person acting on behalf or under the control of Owner, compensation and a time extension to the Project Schedule to the extent allowed under Section 6.8; 
 3. Force Majeure to the extent allowed under Section 6.7A; 
 4. Acceleration of the Work ordered by Owner pursuant to Section 5.5, provided that a Change Order has been issued;

 5. To the extent expressly permitted under Section 12.2A; 
 6. Suspension in Work ordered by Owner pursuant to Section 15.3; or 
 7. Termination for convenience pursuant to Section 15.2B and termination by Contractor pursuant to Section 15.5. 
 B. Should Contractor desire to request a Change Order under this Section 6.2, Contractor shall, pursuant to Section 6.5, notify
Owner in writing and issue to Owner, at Contractor’s expense, a request for a proposed Change Order, a detailed explanation of the proposed change and Contractor’s reasons for proposing the change, all documentation necessary to verify the
effects of the change on the Changed Criteria, and all other information required by Section 6.5. Any adjustments to the Estimated Contract Price shall be requested on a unit price or lump sum basis and shall be derived from the rates set forth
in Schedule D-3 to the extent applicable, or, if not therein, derived from rates not to exceed then-current market rates. 
 C. 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. 
 D. 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


  

 15 







 
Contractor’s written notice and proposed Change Order and all other required information, or if Owner desires that the proposed changed Work set forth
in the proposed Change Order commence immediately, the rights, obligations and procedures set forth in Section 6.1C are applicable. 
 E. If the Parties cannot agree upon whether Contractor is entitled to a Change Order within ten (10) Business Days of Owner’s receipt of Contractor’s written notice and proposed Change Order, then the
Dispute shall be resolved as provided in Article 17. Pending resolution of the Dispute, Contractor shall continue to perform the Work required under this Agreement, and Owner shall continue to pay Contractor in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, any Change Orders and any previously agreed or unilateral Change Orders. If, prior to Final Completion, Contractor and Owner disagree as to whether the required work is included as part of the Work, as may be modified by Attachment
M, and the Parties are unable to resolve the Dispute as provided in Section Article 17, Owner shall issue a unilateral Change Order under Section 6.1C, provided that Owner may reserve its right to resolve the Dispute in accordance
with Section 17.2 following Final Completion of the Work, provided further that this Agreement is not terminated prior to Final Completion in which case Owner may resolve the Dispute in accordance with Section 17.2 at any time
following compliance with Section 17.1. 
 6.3 Estimated Contract Price Adjustment; Contractor Documentation. If a Change Order
is executed on a time and materials basis pursuant to Section 6.1C or 6.2D, then the Estimated Contract Price shall be adjusted using rates set forth in Schedule D-3, 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). 
 6.4 Change
Orders Act as Accord and Satisfaction. Unless otherwise expressly and conspicuously stated in the Change Order, Change Orders agreed pursuant to Section 6.1B or 6.2C by the Parties, and unilateral Change Orders entered into pursuant to
Section 6.1C or 6.2D on a time and materials basis and which the Parties have subsequently agreed upon the effect of such unilateral Change Order and executed a superseding and mutually agreed upon Change Order as provided in Section 6.1B
or 6.2C 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,
unless otherwise expressly and conspicuously stated in such Change Order, Contractor 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 from such change reflected in such 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; provided, however, Contractor may only expressly reserve its right under a Change Order to make such claim or demand or take any such action or proceeding against Owner if
Contractor is not able in good faith to determine, in accordance with industry standards, all of the effects of the change at the time of executing such Change Order and, provided further that if Contractor so expressly reserves its rights in
accordance with this Section, Contractor shall make such claim or demand or take any such action or proceeding against Owner within a reasonable time but in no event prior to Final Completion, and if Contractor fails to bring such claim or demand
prior to Final Completion, Contractor is deemed to have forever waived and released such claim or demand. 
 6.5 Timing Requirements for
Notifications and Change Order Requests by Contractor. Should Contractor desire to seek an adjustment to the Estimated Contract Price, the Project Schedule, the Required Mechanical Completion Date, Required Substantial Completion Date, or
Required Final Completion Date, 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: 
 A. notify Owner in writing of the existence of such circumstance
within seven (7) Days of the date that Contractor knew or reasonably should have known of the first occurrence or beginning of such circumstance, provided that if such circumstance is an emergency, 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 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 6.5A once for continuing circumstances, provided the notice expressly states that the circumstance is continuing and includes Contractor’s best estimate of the time and cost consequences of such circumstance; and 
  

 16 







 B. submit to Owner a request for a proposed Change Order as soon as reasonably
practicable after giving Owner written notice but in no event later than seven (7) Days after the completion of each such circumstance, 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; and
(ii) setting forth the effect, if known, which such proposed Change Order would have for the Work on any of the Changed Criteria. Contractor shall advise Owner if the impact on the Changed Criteria are not known within the seven (7) Days
or if such impact is expected to accrue or to continue to accrue after such seven (7) Day period. 
 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
Estimated Contract Price, the Project Schedule, the Required Mechanical Completion Date, Required Substantial Completion Date, or Required Final Completion Date, any Work, or any other modification to any other obligation of Contractor under this
Agreement. Verbal notice, shortness of time, or Owner’s actual knowledge of a particular circumstance shall not waive, satisfy, discharge or otherwise excuse Contractor’s strict compliance with this Section 6.5. 
 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 Estimated Contract Price, the Project Schedule (including the Required Mechanical Completion Date, Required Substantial Completion Date,
or Required Final Completion Date), any Work or any other obligations of Contractor or right of Owner under this Agreement unless and until such addition, deletion, suspension or modification has been authorized by a Change Order executed and issued
in accordance with and in strict compliance with the requirements of this Article 6. Contractor shall not perform any change in the Work unless and until such change is authorized pursuant to this Article 6, and should Contractor perform or claim to
perform any changes in the Work prior to authorization by Change Order, all such costs and expenses incurred by Contractor shall be for Contractor’s account. No course of conduct or dealings between the Parties, nor express or implied
acceptance of additions, deletions, suspensions or modifications to this Agreement, including any Work, and no claim that Owner has been unjustly enriched by any such addition, deletion, suspension or modification to this Agreement, whether or not
there is in fact any such unjust enrichment, shall be the basis for any claim for an adjustment in the Estimated Contract Price, the Project Schedule (including the Required Mechanical Completion Date, Required Substantial Completion Date, or
Required Final Completion Date), any Work or any other obligations of Contractor under this Agreement. 
 6.7 Force Majeure.

 A. Contractor Relief. If the commencement, prosecution or completion of any Work is delayed by Force Majeure,
then Contractor shall be entitled to an extension to the Required Mechanical 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
Required Mechanical 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 Mechanical Completion Date, and Contractor complies with the notice and Change Order
request requirements in Section 6.5 and the mitigation requirements in Section 6.10. The Parties agree that Contractor’s sole remedy for such delay shall be an adjustment to the Required Mechanical Completion Date pursuant to a Change
Order except as set forth in Section 6.7A.1. Any adjustment to the Project Schedule shall be recorded in a Change Order. 
 1. If the commencement, prosecution or completion of any Work is delayed by a named tropical storm or hurricane, then Contractor shall be entitled to an increase in the Estimated Contract Price for any downtime which is caused by such
tropical storm or hurricane. Any adjustment for downtime shall be determined in accordance with the labor and equipment rates set forth in Section 2 of Schedule D-3, provided that reimbursement for such downtime shall be subject
to a maximum of thirty (30) Days. Subject to the requirements of Sections 6.5 and 6.10 and the maximum amount set forth in this Section, Owner’s liability for such rates shall (i) commence when it becomes necessary to suspend the Work
and begin demobilization for the protection of the Work, (ii) be operable during demobilization and remobilization at the Site, and (iii) expire upon recommencement of the Work at the Site. Any adjustment to the Estimated Contract Price
shall be recorded in a Change Order. If Owner elects to terminate all or any part of the Work in accordance with Section 15.2 after the maximum amount of labor and equipment rates have accrued in accordance with this Section, Owner shall not be
liable for and the cancellation fee set forth in Section 15.2B(iii) shall not apply. 
  

 17 







 B. Owner Relief. Subject to Section 6.7C, Owner’s obligations
under this Agreement shall be suspended to the extent that performance of such obligations is delayed by Force Majeure. 
 C.
Payment Obligations. No obligation of a Party to pay moneys under or pursuant to this Agreement shall be excused by reason of Force Majeure. 
 6.8 Delay Caused by Owner or Delay Caused by Changes in the Work. Should Owner or any Person acting on behalf of or under the control of Owner delay the commencement, prosecution or completion of any Work, and
if such delay is not in any way attributable to Contractor or its Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors but is caused by Owner’s material breach of an express obligation of Owner under this Agreement or for delays caused by Owner’s ordering
a change in the Work (provided that a Change Order has been issued in accordance with Section 6.1), then Contractor shall be entitled to an adjustment in the Estimated Contract Price and an extension to the Required Mechanical Completion Date
if (i) such delay affects the performance of any Work that is on the critical path of the CPM Schedule, (ii) such delay causes Contractor to complete the Work beyond the Required Mechanical Completion Date, (iii) Contractor is unable
to proceed with other portions of the Work so as not to cause a delay in the Required Mechanical Completion Date and (iv) 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 Estimated Contract Price shall be for reasonable, additional direct costs incurred by Contractor, including overhead and profit, for such delay meeting the requirements of this
Section 6.8, and any adjustments to the Estimated Contract Price or the Required Mechanical Completion Date shall be recorded in a Change Order. The Parties agree that if they execute a Change Order with respect to any change in the Work
described in this Section 6.8, any delay arising out of such change in the Work and meeting the requirements of this Section 6.8 shall be included in the Change Order incorporating such change in the Work. 
 6.9 Delay. For the purposes of Sections 6.2A.1, 6.6 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 6.6 and 6.8, in no event shall Contractor be entitled to any adjustment to
the Project Schedule or adjustment to the Estimated Contract Price for that portion of delay to the extent Contractor could have taken, but failed to take, reasonable actions to mitigate such delay. 
 ARTICLE 7 
 CONTRACT PRICE AND
PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR 
 7.1 Contract Price and Estimated Contract Price. 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 sum of (i) the product of the Fixed Unit Prices multiplied by the
Measured Quantities for all Unit Price Work performed in accordance with this Agreement, plus (ii) the sum of the Lump Sum Amounts for all Lump Sum Work performed in accordance with this Agreement (the “Contract Price”).
Contractor shall not bill Owner for any costs relating to any portion of the Work in excess of the Estimated Contract Price specified in Attachment J without obtaining Owner’s written approval prior to incurring such costs. The Estimated
Contract Price, Fixed Unit Prices, and the Lump Sum Amounts are subject to adjustment only by Change Order as provided in Article 6. The Estimated Contract Price includes all Taxes, costs, charges, and expenses of whatever nature applicable to the
Work. 
 7.2 Interim Payments. 
 A. Invoices. Twice each month, Contractor shall submit to Owner and Engineer an Invoice for all Work completed during the prior period, if any, which Invoice shall be in the amount equal to the payment
due for such completed Work, less Retainage as set forth in Section 7.2B. Such Invoice shall also include amounts properly due and owing for Work performed during the prior period and pursuant to a unilateral Change Order issued pursuant to
Section 6.1C or 6.2D, less Retainage. All Invoices shall be in the form of Attachment G, and shall include all documentation supporting its request for payment as required under this Agreement. Contractor shall provide documentation such
as invoices and receipts supporting all amounts billed for unilateral Change Orders issued pursuant to Section 6.1C or 6.2D. Each payment shall be subject to Owner’s right to withhold payments under this Agreement, including Sections 7.5
and 13.1. Payments shall be made in U.S. Dollars to an account designated by Contractor. 
  

 18 







 B. Payments. Each Invoice shall be based upon the Schedule of Fixed
Prices in Attachment J, and each Invoice shall indicate the percentage of completion of each portion of the Work as of the end of the period covered by the Invoice. Subject to other provisions of this Agreement, the amount stated in each
Invoice shall be computed as follows: 
 1. for Unit Price Work, except Base Lay Mobilization and Base Lay Demobilization,
multiply the Fixed Unit Price by the Measured Quantity; provided that for Work that constitutes a portion of Item A1 in Attachment J, multiply the Fixed Unit Price of Item A1 by the Measured Quantity by the Allocated Percentage for that
portion of the Work; 
 2. add, to the first three (3) Invoices only, for Base Lay Mobilization and Base Lay
Demobilization, one-third (1/3) of the estimated cost of Base Lay Mobilization and Base Lay Demobilization, as calculated in accordance with Section 2.e of Attachment J; 
 3. add, for the Lump Sum Work, the product of the Lump Sum Amount for the applicable Item of Lump Sum Work multiplied by the percentage
completion for such portion of the Lump Sum Work as of the end of the period covered by the Invoice; 
 4. subtract Retainage;

 5. subtract the aggregate of previous progress payments made by Owner; and 
 6. subtract amounts, if any, for which Owner has the right to withhold under this Agreement. 
 C. Interim Lien and Claim Waivers. Each Invoice received by Owner prior to Final Completion of the Project shall be
accompanied by (i) a fully executed Interim Lien and Claim Waiver from Contractor in the form of Schedule I-1 for all Work performed through the date for which payment is requested, (ii) if requested, fully executed Interim Lien and
Claim Waivers from Major Subcontractors in the form set forth in Schedule I-2 for all Work performed through the date of the last payment and conditional on payment of the invoice being submitted. 
 D. Review and Approval. Each Invoice shall be reviewed by Engineer and Owner and, upon Engineer’s or
Owner’s reasonable and prompt request, Contractor shall furnish such additional supporting documentation and certificates and provide such further information as may be reasonably requested. Unless disputed by Owner, each Invoice (less the
Retainage and any withholdings allowed under this Agreement) shall be due and payable fifteen (15) Days after such Invoice, and all documentation required under this Agreement, is received by Owner. If an Invoice is disputed by Owner, then
payment shall be made for all undisputed amounts and the Dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Article 17. Payment on disputed amounts shall be made as soon as such dispute is resolved. 
 7.3 Final Completion and Final Payment. Upon Final Completion of the Project, Contractor shall, in addition to any other requirements in this
Agreement for achieving Final Completion, including those requirements set forth in Section 1.1 for the definition of Final Completion, submit to Owner a fully executed final Invoice in the form attached hereto as Attachment G, along
with (i) a statement summarizing and reconciling all previous Invoices, payments and Change Orders, (ii) an affidavit that all payrolls, Taxes, liens, charges, claims, demands, judgments, security interests, bills for Equipment, and any
other indebtedness connected with the Work have been paid, (iii) fully executed Final Lien and Claim Waiver from Contractor in the form of Schedule I-3, (iv) fully executed Final Lien and Claim Waivers from Major Subcontractors in
the form set forth in Schedule I-4. No later than fifteen (15) Days after receipt by Owner of such final Invoice and all requested documentation and achieving Final Completion, Owner shall, subject to its rights to withhold payment under
this Agreement, pay Contractor the balance of the Contract Price, including all Retainage. 
 7.4 Payments Not Acceptance of Work.
Owner may, upon prior written notice to Contractor, offset any amount due and payable from Contractor to Owner under this Agreement against any amount due and payable to Contractor hereunder. No payment made hereunder by Owner shall be considered as
approval or acceptance of any Work by Owner or a waiver of any claim or right Owner may have hereunder. All payments shall be subject to correction or adjustment in subsequent payments. 
  

 19 







 7.5 Payments Withheld. In addition to Retainage and disputed amounts set forth in an Invoice,
Owner may, in addition to any other rights under this Agreement, at law or in equity, withhold payment on an Invoice or a portion thereof, in an amount and to such extent as may be reasonably necessary to protect Owner from loss due to
(i) Defective Work not remedied in accordance with this Agreement; (ii) any material breach of Contractor of any term or provision of this Agreement; (iii) the assessment of any fines or penalties against Owner as a result of
Contractor’s failure to comply with Applicable Law; (iv) amounts paid by Owner to Contractor in a preceding month incorrectly; (iv) failure of Contractor to make payments to Subcontractors as required under their respective
Subcontracts; or (v) any other reason for which Owner is entitled to withhold payment under this Agreement. 
 7.6 Release of
Retainage. Within fifteen (15) Days after Final Completion and Owner’s receipt of an Invoice therefore, Owner shall, subject to its right to withhold under this Agreement, release to Contractor all Retainage with the final payment made
pursuant to Section 7.3. 
 ARTICLE 8 
 TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS 
 8.1 Title. Title to all or any portion of the Work shall pass to
Owner upon the earlier of (i) payment by Owner therefor, or (ii) incorporation of such Work into the Project. Transfer of title to Work shall be without prejudice to Owner’s right to reject Defective Work, or any other right in the
Agreement. Contractor warrants and guarantees that legal title to and ownership of the Work and the Project shall be free and clear of any and all liens, claims, security interests or other encumbrances when title thereto passes to Owner.
Notwithstanding the above, title does not pass to Owner for any Construction Equipment including without limitation, modifications to such equipment. 
 8.2 Risk of Loss. Notwithstanding passage of title as provided in Section 8.1 of this Agreement, Contractor shall bear the risk of loss and damage to the Work until Substantial Completion of the Work. In
addition, upon Contractor’s receipt of Owner-Provided Equipment, Contractor shall bear the risk of loss and damage for such Owner-Provided Equipment until Substantial Completion of the Work, including maintenance and care for Owner-Provided
Equipment in accordance with the manufacturer’s and Owner’s recommendations and procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should Owner choose not to require the insurance required by Section F.1.6 of Attachment F or should Owner
increase the required deductible, Contractor shall only be responsible for loss or damage to the Work that would have otherwise been covered by such insurance up to Fifty Thousand U.S. Dollars (U.S.$50,000) per occurrence, provided, however,
this Section 8.2 shall not in any way be deemed to limit Contractor’s liability or obligations with respect to Defective Work or Contractor’s Corrective Work obligations. 
 ARTICLE 9 
 INSURANCE AND PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE BONDS 
 9.1 Insurance. During the term of this Agreement (or for such longer period required in Attachment F), Contractor, at its sole cost and
expense, shall procure and maintain, and shall require its Subcontractors to procure and maintain, insurance coverage with the minimum coverages, levels, limits and conditions set forth in Attachment F. Contractor’s liability under this
Agreement, or otherwise at law, shall not be limited by the amount or type of insurance required under this Agreement. 
 9.2 Payment and
Performance Bonds. Prior to Owner’s issuance of NTP, Contractor shall obtain payment and performance bonds each in the amount of the Estimated Contract Price. The payment and performance bonds shall be provided to Owner prior to the
commencement of any Work, shall be in the forms attached as Schedule H-1 and Schedule H-2 respectively, and shall be from a surety acceptable to Owner and licensed to transact business in the State of Louisiana. The premium for these
bonds shall be paid by Contractor and the cost is included in the Estimated Contract Price. Commencement of Work by Contractor without having provided performance and payment bonds as set forth herein shall not be considered a waiver or release by
Owner of the requirement for bonds, and Contractor shall have proceeded with the Work at its own risk and shall not be entitled to payment hereunder until such bonds are delivered to Owner. The payment of any incremental increase in the cost of
bonds arising as a result of mutually agreed upon Change Order as provided in Section 6.1B or 6.2C shall be Contractor’s responsibility and shall be included as a part of Contractor’s information provided to Owner in Contractor’s
written notice provided in accordance with Section 6.1A. Owner shall provide at least ten (10) Days written notice to the surety prior to any request to perform or otherwise pay damages or liabilities arising under such bonds, provided
that Owner’s delay in providing such notice shall not in any way relieve the surety of its obligations, damages or liabilities under such bonds. 
  

 20 







 ARTICLE 10 
 DOCUMENTATION 
 10.1 Patents and Royalties. Contractor shall pay all royalties and license
fees which may be due with respect to the Work. Contractor shall defend all suits or claims for infringement of any patent rights that may be brought against any Owner Indemnified Parties arising out of the Work, and shall be liable to Owner for all
resulting loss, including all attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, except to the extent such suits or claims for infringement of any patent rights or rights to intellectual property relate to Equipment required by Owner in the Contract
Documents or Owner-Provided Equipment. 
 10.2 Owner Provided Documents. All written materials, plans, drafts, Drawings,
Specifications, computer files or other documents (if any) prepared or furnished by Owner or any of Owner’s other consultants or contractors shall at all times remain the property of Owner, and Contractor shall not make use of any such
documents or other media for any other project or for any purpose other than as necessary for use in completion of the Work. All such documents and other media, including all copies thereof, shall be returned to Owner upon the earlier of Substantial
Completion of the Project and termination of this Agreement, except that Contractor may, subject to its confidentiality obligations as set forth in Article 18, retain one record set of such documents or other media. 
 ARTICLE 11 
 MECHANICAL COMPLETION,

shall continue during pendency of Owner’s review. If Owner does not agree that Mechanical 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 17 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. For the avoidance of doubt, achievement of Mechanical Completion hereunder shall be independent of any of Owner’s other projects. 
 11.2 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 Article 1. Upon achieving all requirements under this Agreement for Substantial Completion, Contractor shall certify to Owner that all of the requirements under this Agreement for Substantial Completion have occurred and

Owner’s acceptance shall not relieve Contractor of any of its obligations to perform the Work in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. 
 11.3 Punchlist. Prior to Substantial Completion, Owner and Contractor shall inspect the Work, and 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 

  

 22 







 
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 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 Required 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 at the expense of Contractor. In the event Owner elects to complete such Punchlist Work, Contractor shall
immediately pay Owner (directly or by offset at Owner’s discretion), all costs and expenses incurred in performing such Punchlist Work. Upon Contractor’s request, Owner shall provide documentation identifying the costs and expenses to
complete such Punchlist Work. 
 11.4 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 Article 1, have been satisfied. Upon Final Completion, Contractor shall certify to Owner that all of the
requirements under this Agreement for Final Completion have occurred. Owner shall notify Contractor whether it accepts or rejects the Work as being Finally Complete within fifteen (15) Days following Owner’s receipt of Contractor’s
certification required by this Section. 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 17; 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 at the expense of Contractor in accordance with Section 11.3. 
 11.5 Partial Occupancy and Use. Owner shall have the right to occupy and use the Work at any time prior to Substantial Completion, provided that Contractor’s insurance company or companies providing property insurance and
builder’s risk coverage have consented to such partial occupancy or use. Contractor shall take reasonable steps in obtaining consent of the insurance company or companies. 
 11.6 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 Substantial Completion or Final Completion of the Project, nor any payment made hereunder, whether an interim or final payment, shall in any way release Contractor or any surety of Contractor from any obligations or liability
pursuant to this Agreement. Nothing in this Article 11 shall in any way modify or alter Contractor’s obligations under Article 12 and Article 13. 
 ARTICLE 12 
 WARRANTY AND CORRECTION OF WORK 
 12.1 Warranty. 
 A.
General. Any Work, or component thereof, that is not in conformity with any warranties set forth in this Article 12 (referred to individually as “Warranty” or collectively as
“Warranties”) is defective (“Defective”) and contains a defect (“Defect”). 
 B. Warranty of Work. Contractor hereby warrants that during the performance of the Work and for two (2) years from Substantial Completion the Work and each component thereof, shall be:
(i) performed in a diligent, efficient, trustworthy and workmanlike manner, according to the industry standards and practices in the field; (ii) new, complete, fit for the purposes intended, of suitable grade for the intended function and
use and free from faults and defects; (iii) in accordance with all of the requirements of this Agreement, including in accordance with Applicable Law; and (iv) free from encumbrances to title, as set forth in greater detail in
Section 8.1. The Parties expressly agree that the foregoing two (2) year period shall be in lieu of any preemptive period imposed by Applicable Law. 
  

 22 







 C. Assignment and Enforcement of Subcontractor Warranties. Contractor
shall, without additional cost to Owner, obtain warranties from 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 warranties meet the requirements of this Agreement, as Contractor shall be fully responsible and liable to Owner for its Warranty and Corrective Work obligations and liability
under this Agreement for all Work. All such warranties shall be deemed to run to the benefit of Owner and Contractor. All such warranties, with duly executed instruments assigning the warranties to Owner, shall be delivered to Owner upon Substantial
Completion (other than those Warranties related to Punchlist items, which will be delivered prior to Final Completion). All warranties provided by any Subcontractor shall be in such form as to permit direct enforcement by Contractor or Owner against
any Subcontractor whose warranty is called for, and Contractor agrees that: (i) Contractor’s Warranty, as provided under this Article 12 shall apply to all Work regardless of the provisions of any Subcontractor warranty, and such
Subcontractor warranties shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, such Contractor Warranty; and (ii) service of notice on Contractor that there has been a breach of a Subcontractor warranty shall be sufficient to invoke the terms of
the instrument. This Section 12.1C 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 warranties. 
 12.2 Correction of Work Prior to Substantial Completion. 
 A. General Rights. All Work shall be subject to inspection by Owner or any of its representatives at all times to determine
whether the Work conforms to the requirements of this Agreement. Contractor shall furnish Owner or any of its 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 prior to Substantial Completion, then Contractor shall, at its own expense, promptly correct such Defective Work, whether by repair, replacement or otherwise. Subject to Contractor’s right to pursue a Dispute under Article
17, 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 Owner shall reimburse Contractor for all costs incurred in connection with such repair or replacement and a Change Order shall be issued for such amount and shall address any impact the repair or replacement may have had on
the Project Schedule. If Contractor fails, after a reasonable period of time not to exceed one (1) week, 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 may repair or replace such Defective Work and the expense thereof shall be paid by Contractor. 
 B. No Obligation to Inspect. Owner’s right to conduct inspections under Sections 12.2A shall not obligate Owner to do so. Neither the exercise of Owner of any such right, nor any failure on the part
of Owner to discover or reject Defective Work shall be construed to imply an acceptance of such Defective Work or a waiver of such Defect. 
 C. Cost Uncovering and Disassembling Work. Prior to Substantial Completion, Owner may request that Contractor uncover previously covered Work to permit Owner and its representatives to inspect such Work.
In the event such uncovered Work is found to be Defective, then Contractor shall correct such Defective Work and shall bear the cost of such uncovering and recovering the Defective Work, as well as the cost of repair or replacement of such Defective
Work. 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 borne by Owner if such Work is found to conform with the
requirements of this Agreement and by Contractor if such Work is found to be Defective. 
 12.3 Correction of Work After Substantial
Completion. If, during the Defect Correction Period, any Work is found to be Defective, Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, immediately and on an expedited basis correct such Defective Work and any other portions of the Project
damaged or affected by such Defective Work, whether by repair, replacement or otherwise (“Corrective Work”) and shall be liable for and pay to Owner any and all costs, losses, damages and expenses incurred by Owner or any
Owner Affiliate arising out of or relating to such Defective Work. Owner shall provide Contractor with access to the Project reasonably sufficient to perform its Corrective Work, so long as such access does not materially interfere with construction
or operation of any portion of the Project and subject to any reasonable security or safety requirements of Owner. 
  

 23 







 A. Owner Right to Correct or Complete Defective Work. If Contractor fails
to commence the Corrective Work within a reasonable period of time not to exceed five (5) Days, or does not complete such Corrective Work on an expedited basis, then Owner, by written notice to Contractor, may (in addition to any other remedies
that it has under this Agreement, at law or in equity) correct such Defective Work, and Contractor shall be liable to Owner for all costs, losses, damages and expenses incurred by Owner in connection with correcting such Defective Work and arising
out of or relating to such Defective Work and shall pay Owner (directly or by offset at Owner’s sole discretion), an amount equal to such costs, losses, damages and expenses; provided, however, if such Defective Work materially affects
the construction, operation or use of any of the Project or presents an imminent threat to the safety or health of any Person and Owner knows of such Defective Work, Owner may (in addition to any other remedies that it has under this Agreement, at
law or in equity) correct such Defective Work without giving prior written notice to Contractor, and, in that event, Contractor shall be liable to Owner for all costs, losses, damages and expenses incurred by Owner in connection with correcting such
Defective Work and arising out of or relating to such Defective Work and shall pay Owner (directly or by offset at Owner’s sole discretion), an amount equal to such costs, losses, damages and expenses. 
 B. Extended Defect Correction Period for Corrective Work. With respect to any Corrective Work performed, the Defect
Correction Period for such Corrective Work shall be extended for an additional one (1) year from the date of the completion of such Corrective Work; provided, however, in no event shall the Defect Correction Period for such
Corrective Work be less than the original Defect Correction Period. 
 C. No Limitation. Nothing contained in
this Section 12.3 shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to other obligations which Contractor might have under the Contract Documents. Establishment of the Defect Correction Period relates only to the specific
obligation of Contractor to perform Corrective Work, and has no relationship to the time within which the obligation to comply with the Contract Documents may be sought to be enforced, nor to the time within which proceedings may be commenced to
establish Contractor’s liability with respect to Contractor’s obligations other than specifically to perform Corrective Work. 
 12.4 Assignability of Warranties. The Warranties made in this Agreement by Contractor shall be for the benefit of Owner and its successors and assigns and the respective successors and assigns of any of them and are fully
transferable and assignable. Contractor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to require that all any warranties provided by any Subcontractors comply with the requirements in this Section. 
 ARTICLE 13 
 TIMELY COMPLETION

 13.1 Timely Completion. Contractor specifically acknowledges that time is of the essence in the performance of all of
Contractor’s obligations under this Agreement, and the Contractor acknowledges that the Owner will incur substantial monetary and other damages in the event Contractor does not achieve Mechanical Completion by the Required Mechanical Completion
Date, Substantial Completion by the Required Substantial Completion Date or Final Completion by the Required Final Completion Date, as may be extended by Change Order, provided that Contractor’s maximum liability for such delay shall not
exceed Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars (U.S. $500,000) provided further that, such cap shall not (i) be construed to limit Contractor’s obligation to complete the Work for the Estimated Contract Price, as may be amended by Change
Order, and (ii) apply in the event of Contractor’s willful misconduct or abandonment of the Work. 
 ARTICLE 14

“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 (xv) above, Contractor cures such condition
within seven (7) Days) Owner, at its sole option and, without prejudice to any other rights that it has under this Agreement, at law or in equity and, without further notice to Contractor, may (a) take such steps as are necessary to
overcome the Default condition, in which case Contractor shall be liable to Owner for any and all costs, damages, losses and expenses (including all attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses) incurred by Owner in connection therewith, or
(b) terminate for Default Contractor’s performance of all or any part of the Work. 
 B. Additional Rights of

through others complete the Work. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price shall exceed all damages, costs, losses and expenses incurred by Owner
(including all attorneys’ fees, consultant fees and litigation expenses, costs to complete the Work, and any and all damages for failure of performance and cost of financing), then such excess shall be paid by Owner to Contractor, but such
amount shall not be paid until after Final Completion of the Project has been achieved. If such amount incurred by Owner shall exceed the unpaid balance of the Contract Price, then, at Owner’s sole option, Contractor shall pay Owner the
difference on demand. Contractor’s liability under this Section 15.1B is in addition to any other liability provided for under this Agreement and Owner shall have the right and authority to set off against and deduct from any such excess
due Contractor by Owner any other liability of Contractor to Owner under this Agreement. Owner agrees to act reasonably to mitigate any costs it might incur in connection with any termination for Default. In the event of a termination for Default,

or in transit thereto, and to comply with any Applicable Law; and (viii) perform all other obligations under Section 15.1B. 
 15.2

its sole option, take assignment of any or all of the Subcontracts. 
 B. Obligations of Owner upon Convenience
Termination. Upon a convenience termination by Owner in accordance with Section 15.2, 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 Contract Price previously paid to Contractor, (ii) reasonable direct close-out costs (and overhead and profit thereon) submitted in accordance
with this Section (but in no event shall Contractor be entitled to receive any amount for unabsorbed overhead, contingency, risk or anticipated profit), plus (iii) an applicable cancellation fee of two percent (2%) of the Estimated
Contract Price if termination occurs between May 15, 2007, and August 15, 2007. 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. 
  

 26 







 15.3 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, for a period up to thirty (30) days, whereupon Contractor shall suspend the carrying out of such suspended Work for such time or times and in such manner
as Owner may require and shall take reasonable steps to minimize any costs associated with such suspension. During any such suspension, Contractor shall properly protect and secure such suspended Work in such manner as Owner may reasonably require.
Unless otherwise instructed by Owner, Contractor shall during any such suspension maintain its staff and labor on or near the Site and otherwise be ready to proceed expeditiously with the Work upon receipt of Owner’s further instructions.
Except where such suspension ordered by Owner is the result of or due to the fault or negligence of Contractor or any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor, Contractor shall be entitled to the reasonable costs (including actual, but not unabsorbed,
overhead, contingency, risk and reasonable profit) 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 Required
Mechanical Completion Date, Required Substantial Completion Date, and Required Final Completion Date if and to the extent permitted under Section 6.8. Upon receipt of notice to resume suspended Work, Contractor shall promptly 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. 
 15.4 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 thirty (30) 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. 
 15.5 Termination by Contractor. Contractor may 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 15.4 for thirty (30) Days, and after the expiration of such thirty (30) 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 ten (10) Days after receipt of Contractor’s notice. In the event of any such termination under this
Section 15.5, Contractor shall have the rights (and Owner shall make the payments) provided for in Section 15.2B in the event of an Owner termination for convenience.

 B. Louisiana Oilfield Anti-Indemnity Act: Contractor and Owner agree that the
Louisiana Oilfield Anti-Indemnity Act, LA. REV. STAT. § 9:2780, ET. SEQ., is inapplicable to this Agreement and the performance of the Work. Application of these
code sections to this Agreement would be contrary to the intent of the Parties, and each Party hereby irrevocably waives any contention that these code sections are applicable to this Agreement or the Work. In addition, it is the intent of the
Parties in the event that the aforementioned act were to apply that each Party shall provide insurance to cover the losses contemplated by such code sections and assumed by each such Party under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, and
Contractor agrees that the payments made to Contractor hereunder compensate Contractor for the cost of premiums for the insurance provided by it under this Agreement. The Parties agree that each Party’s agreement to support their
indemnification obligations by insurance shall in no respect impair their indemnification obligations. 
 C. Statutory
Employees for Purposes of Louisiana Worker’s Compensation Act. In all cases where Contractor’s employees (defined to include the direct, borrowed, special, or statutory employees of Subcontractor and Sub-subcontractors) are performing
Work in or offshore the state of Louisiana or are otherwise covered by the Louisiana Workers’ Compensation Act, La. R.S. 23:1021, et seq., Owner and Contractor agree that the Work performed by Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors, and
Contractor’s, Subcontractors’, and Sub-subcontractors’ employees pursuant to this Agreement are an integral part of and are essential to the ability of Owner to generate Owner’s goods, products, and work for the purpose of La.
R.S. 23:1061(a)(1). Furthermore, Owner and Contractor agree that Owner is the statutory employer of Contractor’s, Subcontractors’, and Sub-subcontractors’ employees for purposes of La. R.S. 23:1061(a)(3), and that Owner shall be
entitled to the protections afforded a statutory employer under Louisiana law. Regardless of Owner’s status as the statutory or special employer (as defined in La. R.S. 23:1031(c)) of the employees of Owner, Subcontractors, or
Sub-subcontractors, and regardless of any other relationship or alleged relationship between such employees and Owner, Contractor shall be and remain at all times primarily responsible for the payment of all workers’ compensation and medical
benefits to Contractor’s, Subcontractors’ and Sub-subcontractors’ employees, and neither Contractor, nor its Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors, nor their respective insurers or underwriters shall be entitled to seek contribution
or indemnity for any such payments from Owner or any other member of the Owner Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall this Section 16.4C be interpreted to relieve Contractor from its full responsibility
and liability to Owner under this Agreement for the employees of Contractor or its Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors (whether or not such employees are a statutory, special or borrowed employee, or otherwise), including Contractor’s
obligations to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Owner Indemnified Parties from and against injury or death to such employees or damage to or destruction of property of such employees, as provided in this Agreement. 
 D. Conflict with Applicable Law: 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. 
 ARTICLE 17 
 DISPUTE RESOLUTION 
 17.1 Negotiation. In the event that any claim, dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including the breach, termination or invalidity thereof, and whether arising out of tort or
contract) (“Dispute”) cannot be resolved informally within thirty (30) days after the Dispute arises, either Party may give written notice of the Dispute (“Dispute Notice”) to the other Party
requesting that a representative of Owner’s senior management and Contractor’s senior management meet in an attempt to resolve the Dispute. Each such management representative shall have full authority to resolve the Dispute and shall meet
at a mutually agreeable time and place within fourteen (14) days after receipt by the non-notifying Party of such Dispute Notice, and thereafter as often as they deem reasonably necessary to exchange relevant information and to attempt to
resolve the Dispute. In no event shall this Section 17.1 be construed to limit either Party’s right to take any action under this Agreement, including Owner’s termination rights. The Parties agree that if any Dispute is not resolved
within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Dispute Notice given in this Section 17.1, then either Party may by notice to the other Party refer the Dispute to be decided by final and binding arbitration in accordance with
Section 17.2. 
  

 29 







 17.2 Arbitration. Any arbitration held under this Agreement shall be held in Houston, Texas,
unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, shall be administered by the Dallas, Texas office of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and shall, except as otherwise modified by this Section 17.2, be governed by the
AAA’s Construction Industry Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures (including Procedures for Large, Complex Construction Disputes) (the “AAA Rules”). The number of arbitrators required for the arbitration hearing
shall be determined in accordance with the AAA Rules. The arbitrator(s) shall determine the rights and obligations of the Parties according to the substantive law of the state of Texas, excluding its conflict of law principles, as would a court for
the state of Texas; 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. Issues concerning the arbitrability of a matter in dispute shall be decided by a court with proper jurisdiction. The Parties shall be entitled to engage in
reasonable discovery, including the right to production of relevant and material documents by the opposing Party and the right to take depositions reasonably limited in number, time and place, provided that in no event shall any Party be entitled to
refuse to produce relevant and non-privileged documents or copies thereof requested by the other Party within the time limit set and to the extent required by order of the arbitrator(s). All disputes regarding discovery shall be promptly resolved by
the arbitrator(s). This agreement to arbitrate is binding upon the Parties, Contractor’s surety (if any) and the successors and permitted assigns of any of them. At Owner or Contractor’s option, any other person may be joined as an
additional party to any arbitration conducted under this Section 17.2, provided that the party to be joined is or may be liable to either Party in connection with all or any part of any Dispute between the Parties. The arbitration award shall
be final and binding, in writing, signed by all arbitrators, 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.

 17.3 Continued Performance. Notwithstanding any Dispute, and contingent on Owner continuing to make payment as due, 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 Section 15.5, 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 or arbitration prevent or restrict Owner or Contractor from exercising its rights under this Agreement, at law or in equity, including Owner or Contractor’s
rights to terminate. 
 ARTICLE 18 
 CONFIDENTIALITY 
 18.1 Contractor’s Obligations. Contractor hereby covenants and warrants that Contractor and
its employees 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) the Drawings and
Specifications other than to Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors as necessary to perform the Work, or (ii) any other information relating to the business, products, services, research or development, clients or customers of Owner or any Owner
Affiliate, or relating to similar information of a third party who has entrusted such information to Owner or any Owner Affiliate (hereinafter individually or collectively, “Owner’s Confidential Information”). Prior to
disclosing any information in (i) of this Section 18.1 to any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor as necessary to perform the Work, Contractor shall bind such Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor to the confidentiality obligations contained
in this Section 18.1 and to the term in Section 18.4. 
 18.2 Exceptions. Notwithstanding Section 18.1, Owner’s
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 18;
(ii) information which at the time of disclosure or acquisition was already in the possession of the Contractor or its employees or agents and was not previously acquired from the Owner or any of its employees or agents; (iii) information
which the Contractor can show was acquired by Contractor after the time of disclosure or acquisition hereunder from a third party without any confidentiality commitment, if, to the best of Contractor’s or its employees’ or agent’s
knowledge, such third party did not acquire it from Owner or any of its employees or agents; (iv) information independently developed by Contractor without benefit of Owner’s Confidential Information; 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, Contractor gives reasonable notice to Owner of the information required to be disclosed so
that Owner may attempt to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy. 
  

 30 







 18.3 Equitable Relief. Contractor acknowledges that in the event of a breach of any of the terms
contained in this Article 18, Owner would suffer irreparable harm for which remedies at law, including damages, would be inadequate, and that Owner shall be entitled to seek equitable relief therefor by injunction, in addition to any and all rights
and remedies available to it at law and in equity, without the requirement of posting a bond. 
 18.4 Term. The confidentiality
obligations of this Article 18 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. 
 18.5 Disclosure and Filings. Contractor acknowledges that Owner may be required from time to time to make filings in compliance with Applicable
Law, including filing a copy of this Agreement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

 ATTACHMENT F 
 INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS 
  

	F.1.	Contractor’s Insurance: All insurance obtained pursuant to this Agreement shall: (1) be issued by insurers with an “A-VII” or better A.M. Best Co. rating
in the current Property-Casualty Edition and authorized to do business in the state in which the Project is located, and (2) be in all other respects acceptable to Owner. Contractor shall carry and maintain or cause to be carried and maintained
in force at all times during the term of the Agreement the following insurance: 

  

	 	F.1.1.	Workers’ Compensation/Employers’ Liability 

 Workers’ compensation with appropriate longshoremen’s or harbor workers’ endorsement (if applicable) covering all Contractor Personnel in accordance with the statutory requirements of the state of hire or country in which the
Work is to be performed, and if the Work includes the use of vessels, appropriate maritime extensions. Employers’ liability insurance with the limit of One Million United States Dollars (U.S. $l,000,000) per accident or illness. 
  

	 	F.1.2.	Commercial General Liability 

 Commercial general
liability insurance with contractual liability, products and completed operations, and broad form property damage coverage included, which shall provide for a combined single limit of One Million United States Dollars (U.S. $1,000,000) for personal
injury, death or property damage resulting from each occurrence and covering all of Contractor’s Work under the Agreement; provided, however, this coverage requirement may be satisfied by Contractor through any combination of primary and excess
liability insurance. 
  

	 	F.1.3.	Automobile Liability 

 Automobile liability
insurance covering owned, non-owned and hired motor vehicles, with combined single limits of at least One Million United States Dollars (U.S. $1,000,000) for personal injury, death, or property damage resulting from each occurrence. 
  

	 	F.1.4.	Aircraft Liability Insurance 

 Aircraft liability
insurance, to the extent applicable, covering owned, non-owned and hired aircraft with a combined single limit of Five Million United States Dollars (U.S. $5,000,000) for bodily injury, death and property damage resulting from each occurrence.

  

	 	F.1.5.	Transportation Insurance 

 “All Risk”
Insurance covering the full replacement cost of all supplies, equipment and materials to be incorporated into the Work while in the course of transit, including the land portion of any ocean or air shipments, and until arrival at the final local
Work Sites. Such transit insurance shall include coverage against the perils of war, strikes, riots and civil commotion and shall insure all general average and salvage charges for which named insureds are responsible. Such insurance shall have a
deductible of Fifty Thousand United States Dollars (U.S. $50,000) per loss. 
  

	 	F.1.6.	Builder’s Risk Insurance 

 Upon Owner’s
written request, Contractor shall procure and maintain completed value form builder’s risk property insurance (subject to a deductible per loss not to exceed U.S. $50,000) upon the entire Work for one hundred percent (100%) of the full
replacement cost value thereof (100% includes additional costs of engineering services in the event of a loss), or such lesser value if requested by Owner. This policy shall include the interests of Owner and Contractor in the Work as named
insureds, as their interests may appear, shall name Owner and Contractor co-loss payee(s), and shall be on an “All Risk” basis for physical loss or damage including fire, flood, earthquake, subsidence, hail, theft, vandalism and malicious
mischief and shall include an open trench warranty, HDD operations and coverage for portions of the Work while it is stored off the Site or is in transit (in which case the insurance provided under Paragraph F.1.5 shall not be required). This policy
shall provide, by endorsement or otherwise, that Contractor shall 

  

 F-1 







 
be solely responsible for the payment of all premiums under the policy, and that the Owner shall have no obligation for the payment thereof, notwithstanding
that the Owner are named insureds under the policy. Contractor shall be responsible for any loss within the deductible of the policy for the liabilities assumed by Contractor hereunder. 
 The cost of such insurance shall be passed through to and paid by Owner, and the Parties shall execute a Change Order increasing the Estimated Contract
Price by such amount. 
 Should Owner choose not to require the insurance required by this Section F.1.6 or should Owner increase the
required deductible, Contractor shall only be responsible for loss or damage to the Work that would have otherwise been covered by such insurance to the extent set forth in Section 8.2 of the Agreement. 
  

	 	F.1.7.	Excess Liability Insurance  

 Umbrella or excess
liability insurance, written on a “following form” basis and providing coverage in excess of the coverages required to be provided by Contractor for employer’s liability insurance, commercial general liability insurance and automobile
liability insurance, with limits of Twenty-Five Million United States Dollars (U.S. $25,000,000) combined single limit each claim and in the aggregate. 
  

	 	F.1.8.	Pollution Insurance 

 This policy shall provide
coverage against claims for bodily injury (including bodily injury and death) and property damage (including loss of use), including cleanup costs and defense costs imposed under Applicable Law (including the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) and the
Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA)), caused by or arising out of pollution incidents, whether into or upon the land, the atmosphere or any water course or body of water, arising from the activities of
Contractor or any of its Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors, and shall include contractual liability per the terms and conditions of such policy. The aggregate limits shall apply separately to each annual policy period. 
 Limits: U.S. $15,000,000 combined single limit each occurrence 
              U.S. $15,000,000 general aggregate with dedicated limits per Project site 
  

	F.2.	Notice: Contractor shall have the insurance carriers furnish to Owner, upon the Effective Date and annually thereafter, insurance certificates specifying the types and
amounts of coverage in effect and the expiration dates of each policy, and a statement that no insurance will be canceled or materially changed without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Owner. 

  

	F.3.	Waiver of Subrogation: All policies of insurance required to be provided by Contractor under this Agreement shall include clauses providing that each underwriter shall waive
its rights of recovery, under subrogation or otherwise, against the Owner Indemnified Parties for the liabilities assumed by Contractor hereunder. Insurance policies pursuant to Paragraph F.1 shall designate the Owner Indemnified Parties as
additional insured for the liabilities assumed by Contractor hereunder, and that the policies provided by Contractor shall be primary and noncontributing to any insurance carried by Owner with regard to the liabilities assumed by Contractor
hereunder. The policies referred to in Paragraphs F.1.2 and F.1.3 shall contain a cross-liability clause in respect of third party claims so that Owner and Contractor are regarded as third parties as to each other. 

  

	F.4.	Obligations Not Relieved: Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement to the contrary, the occurrence of any of the following shall in no way relieve Contractor from any
of its obligations under this Agreement: (i) failure by Contractor to secure or maintain the insurance coverage required hereunder; (ii) failure by Contractor to comply fully with any of the insurance provisions of this Agreement;
(iii) failure by Contractor to secure such endorsements on the policies as may be necessary to carry out the terms and provisions of this Agreement; (iv) the insolvency, bankruptcy or failure of any insurance company providing insurance to
Contractor; (v) failure of any insurance company to pay any claim accruing under its policy; or (vi) losses by Contractor or any of its Subcontractors not covered by insurance policies. 

  

	F.5.	Subcontractors’ Insurance: If Contractor subcontracts any part of the Work, Contractor shall obtain or require its Subcontractors to maintain, the same insurance
coverage and amounts that Contractor is required to maintain pursuant to this Attachment F, as applicable and appropriate to the Work of such Subcontractor.

the arbitrator(s). This agreement to arbitrate is binding upon the parties, Beneficiary’s surety (if any) and the successors and permitted assigns of any of them. At Guarantor’s or Beneficiary’s option, any other person or entity may
be joined as an additional party to any arbitration conducted under this Section 9, provided that the party to be joined is or may be liable to either party in connection with all or any part of any Dispute between the parties. The arbitration

thereof
