  CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT
  Section 3.1

  (a)           As full consideration for the satisfactory performance of all of Contractor’s obligations under this Contract, including Contractor’s provision of all labor, Materials, Equipment, and services associated with the Work, Company shall pay Contractor the aggregate fixed price amount of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (the “Contract Price”) in accordance with this Contract and the payment schedule in Appendix D (the “Payment Schedule”) and all payments of the Contract Price shall be linked to the timely achievement of specific Project milestones (each, a “Milestone”).  Unless agreed otherwise by the Parties, Change Orders which result in additional or reduced payments to Contractor shall result in an equivalent upward or downward adjustment to the Contract Price, as the case may be.
  (i)             Company shall have the right to exercise the option to purchase certain additional equipment, material and/or services which as of the Effective Date are not included as part of the Work and which are described in Appendix E (the “Option”), within the times frame and at the price stated therein.  If Company exercises the Option in writing prior to the Option exercise deadline set forth in Appendix E, the Contract Price will be adjusted upward to account for the price associated with the Option and the equipment, materials and/or services associated with the Option shall become part of the Work.  The specific payment, construction and/or delivery schedules associated with such Option shall be set forth in a mutually agreed upon Change Order.
  (b)           Company shall pay Contractor all undisputed invoice amounts in accordance with the Payment Schedule within twenty-five (25) days of receipt of an invoice from Contractor; provided, however, in no event shall any payment be due and owing until such time as the Work associated with the applicable Payment Milestone has been satisfactorily completed and accepted by Company pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Contract (including Appendix D) and all other conditions to payment have been satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of payments to be made pursuant to Payment Milestones, no payment shall be made thirty (30) days prior to the Milestone Date corresponding to the applicable Payment Milestone unless Contractor (i) has achieved the Payment Milestone for which payment is requested and due in accordance with the Payment Schedule, and (ii) all Milestones for which Contractor has submitted a Notice of Request for Payment prior to such Payment Milestone have been achieved prior to Contractor submitting its invoice with respect thereto.  Payment due dates shall be on Business Days. If any payment becomes payable on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment shall be paid on the next succeeding Business Day. Company shall pay interest on any late payments, including any payment amount which Company disputes in good faith and which is later found conclusively to be have been due, at the Late Payment Rate, compounded daily from the date such amount was due.
  4
  (c)           The Parties may agree to an electronic invoicing procedure whereby the receipt of an electronic invoice by Company would trigger the twenty-five (25) day payment period subject to the requirements and conditions for payment set forth in this Contract, including this Article 3.  For recordkeeping purposes, Contractor shall promptly provide Company with a hard-copy of any invoice and any other supporting documentation or materials submitted to Company via any electronic invoicing procedure.
  (d)           Company’s Representative shall, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of any invoice from Contractor, determine whether (i) the Work evidenced by Contractor’s invoice has been completed in conformance with the requirements of this Contract; (ii) the Work associated with the applicable Payment Milestone has been fulfilled or met; (iii) the invoice, together with any required backup information, has been properly submitted; and (iv) the invoiced amount reflects the payment due under the applicable Payment Milestone. Company’s Representative shall inform Contractor if it disputes the invoice or any portion of the invoice where and as contemplated on the Notice of Request for Payment.  If Company’s Representative disputes only a portion of the invoiced amount, the remaining amount not in dispute shall be paid on or before the due date.
  (e)           Notwithstanding Section 3.1(d), payment by Company of any invoiced amounts shall not be deemed acceptance of the Work or waiver of any Claims that Company may have with respect to such Work, including with respect to the completeness thereof or the compliance of such Work with Applicable Law or the terms of this Contract.
  (f)            In addition to the foregoing, within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Contractor of any payment made pursuant to (i) the Payment Schedule and/or (ii) any Limited Notice to Proceed, Contractor shall deliver to Company the Retainage Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 6.1(b).
  Section 3.2
Conditions Precedent to Payment of Invoiced Amounts
  The obligation of Company to make payments for any invoice is subject to the satisfaction or waiver by Company of each of the following conditions precedent on each Milestone corresponding to the applicable Payment Milestone for which payment is being sought pursuant to the Payment Schedule:

Contractor shall submit, along with its invoice, a notice of request for payment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (each, a “Notice of Request for Payment”) and in substance satisfactory to Company, that meets all of the requirements of this Section 3.2 and Section 3.4.
  (b)           Representations and Warranties.  The representations and warranties made by Contractor in each Project Document to which it is a party shall be true and correct in all material respects on such payment date both before and after giving effect to the making of such payment. In each case such representations and warranties shall be deemed renewed and re-stated as of the date of such payment.
  5
  (c)           No Default.  No Contractor Default shall have occurred and be continuing; no breach, violation or default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any of the Security Documents; and no breach, breach, violation or default shall have occurred with respect to any of the Project Documents or any consent or Governmental Approval, in each case which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.
  (d)           No Proceeding or Litigation. No action, suit, proceeding or investigation by or before any Governmental Authority or any arbitrator shall be pending or, to Contractor’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting a Project Party or the Project which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.
  (e)           Material Adverse Change. No Material Adverse Change shall have occurred (i) with respect to Contractor, any Key Subcontractor or the Guarantor or (ii) that is otherwise the result of an act or omission of Contractor, any Subcontractor or the Guarantor.

  CHANGE ORDERS
  Section 13.1
Changes and Change Orders
  (a)           From time to time circumstances may arise which justify a Change.
  (b)           No Change shall be effective unless authorized by Company by issuance of a Change Order pursuant to the provisions of this Article 13.
  (c)           Company shall, when reviewing each Contractor-Proposed Change and determining the nature and extent of any Change Order issued in accordance with this Article 13, consider in detail the following information:
  (i)             the factors necessitating or the basis for the proposed Change;
  (ii)            The nature, scope and extent of the Change, including any additions to or deletions from the Work;
  34
  (iii)           The effect, if any, of the Change on the Project Schedule, any Critical Milestone, the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date or the completion of any Final Punch List items, as applicable;
  (iv)           The effect, if any, of the Change on the amount of the Contract Price; and
  (v)            Such other information as may reasonably be necessary for the implementation of the Change Order, including the effect on any other provisions of this Contract.
  (d)           All requests for a Change Order shall be made in a form substantially similar to the form attached hereto as Exhibit O which shall address, to the extent required, all of the matters applicable to such request under this Article 13 (each, a “Change Order Request”). Company shall, in the case of a Company-Proposed Change or, if it elects to do so, in the case of a Contractor-Proposed Change, and in all events in the case of a Required Change, thereafter issue a Change Order substantially similar to the form attached hereto as Exhibit P, which shall be signed by both Parties.
  (e)            If Company desires to request a Company-Proposed Change, it shall communicate in writing to Contractor via a Change Order Request its requested Change. Contractor shall promptly review the Company’s Change Order Request and shall notify Company in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of the options for implementing the proposed Change (including, if possible, any option that does not involve an increase in the Contract Price or extension of the Project Schedule), and the effect, if any, each such option would have on the Contract Price or the Project Schedule.  After consideration of such information from Contractor, Company may, but shall not be obligated to, issue a Change Order in accordance with the option the Company selects.  For the avoidance of doubt, Contractor shall be required to implement any and all Company-Proposed Changes if Company elects to proceed with such any such Change (subject to Section 13.2).
  (f)            If Contractor (i) desires to request a Contractor-Proposed Change or (ii) believes a Required Change is warranted, it shall in either case communicate in writing to Company via a Change Order Request the Contractor-Proposed Change or Required Change.  Any request by Contractor for a Change Order under this Section 13.1(f) shall be delivered to Company in writing as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within ten (10) days after Contractor becomes aware of the circumstances which it believes necessitates or warrants a Change. In no case shall Contractor be entitled to recover Costs via a Change Order in connection with conditions that give rise to such Change Order arising prior to the date on which Contractor submits the Change Order Request, except as otherwise included in an agreed-upon Change Order.
  (g)           Contractor shall be entitled to the issuance of Change Orders pursuant to this Article 13 in connection with any circumstances which constitute a Required Change; provided that Contractor shall have in all cases use or have used commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate potential delays to the Project Schedule and potential increases to the Contract Price (the cost of such mitigation efforts to be addressed in any applicable Change Order).
  35
  (h)           No circumstances will constitute grounds for a Change Order unless and to the extent that the Costs of such Change Order are in excess of Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000).   The foregoing limitation shall not apply to the extent that the activities that are the subject of separate Change Orders, one or more of which is below Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000), would, consistent with Prudent Industry Practices, the nature of the activities and the events giving rise to such Change Orders, have been the subject of a single Change Order.
  (i)            Unless agreed otherwise by the Parties, the amount of a Change Order shall be equal to (i) the Costs of Contractor (labor, materials, and out-of-pocket expenses, etc.) to perform the work associated with the Change, plus (ii) a fee to be agreed upon by the Parties, plus (iii) solely in the case of a Company-Proposed Change, the Costs incurred by Contractor in preparing an estimate or proposal in connection with the work associated with such Change, which Costs shall be reimbursed by Company to Contractor without regard to whether the Company-Proposed Change results in a Change Order.  Any such amounts that are paid on a cost reimbursable basis will be subject to audit by Company upon reasonable prior notice except for the fee portion thereof.
  Section 13.2
Continued Performance Pending Resolution of Disputes
  If the Parties are in dispute on a request for a Change Order, Contractor shall, pending resolution of such dispute, nevertheless continue to perform work per the Change Order if it is a Change Order pursuant to a Required Change or Company-Proposed Change, unless Company directs Contractor not to proceed and provided that Contractor has been paid on a current basis for undisputed Work and for disputed Work which has been ordered to be paid through the dispute resolution procedures of this Contract.
  Section 13.3
Preservation of Schedule and Contract Price
  Where any proposed Change or Change Order Request may give rise to an extension of any of the Project Schedule or an increase in the Contract Price, Company reserves, in its sole discretion and to the extent reasonably practicable, the right to require Contractor to vary, amend or effect such other Change to the Work in such a manner as will mitigate or avoid the requirement for such extension of time or increase in price.

  (d)           In performing its duties under this Article 14, Contractor is assuming no obligation and shall have no duty to make any of the payments required of Company or otherwise perform any of Company’s obligations under any Company-Procured Equipment Purchase Agreement, nor shall Contractor be responsible for any failure of a supplier to perform any of its obligations under the applicable Company-Procured Equipment Purchase Agreement.  The Parties further understand and agree that Company shall have the sole right and responsibility to make final decisions with respect to any material matters, disputes or issues that may arise between a supplier and Company under any Company-Procured Equipment Purchase Agreement.  Company and Contractor shall cooperate and coordinate with respect to any communications and instructions to any suppliers providing Company-Procured Equipment in regard to such supplier’s performance under the applicable Company-Procured Equipment Purchase Agreement, provided that Company shall have the ultimate authority in regard to all such communications and decisions as to any Company-Procured Equipment Purchase Agreement.
  (e)           Without limiting Contractor’s obligations in Section 14.1(1)(f) and subject to Builder’s All-Risk insurance being in effect pursuant to Article 26 that insures Company-Procured Equipment against loss or damage and names Contractor as an additional ensured, Contractor shall assume care, custody and control of Company-Procured Equipment once it has been delivered to the Site and shall make good at Contractor’s own Cost any loss or damage arising from Contractor’s or any of its Subcontractors’ acts or omissions that may occur to such equipment from the date of delivery until the Substantial Completion Date. Contractor shall also be responsible for loss or damage thereto arising from Contractor’s or any of its Subcontractors’ acts or omissions in the course of any Work carried out under the Project Documents and any other contract connected with the performance of the Work to which Contractor or any of its Subcontractors is a party or in connection with the Project after Substantial Completion until Final Completion and related to or connected with any Work or activities performed by Contractor or any of its Subcontractors.

  (ii)            any performance-based liquidated damages that would have otherwise been due to Company from a supplier under a Company-Procured Equipment Purchase Agreement are not otherwise payable to Company and the repair and/or replacement contemplated in Section 14.1(f)(i) fails to reinstate the supplier’s original performance guarantees connected with such Company-Procured Equipment (or any applicable property loss insurance does not fully compensate Company for the Costs of fully reinstating such original performance guarantees), Contractor shall at its option and in its sole discretion (i) pay to Company the additional Costs associated with fully reinstating such performance guarantees or payment rights, or (ii) make such liquidated damage payments to Company using the same measure or calculation utilized for such payments in the applicable Company-Procured Equipment Purchase Agreement;
  (iii)           any warranty benefit or right relating to equipment purchased under a Company-Procured Equipment Purchase Agreement is impaired, reduced or eliminated (other than items addressed in Sections 14.1(f)(i)-(ii)), Contractor shall at its option and in its sole discretion, to the extent any applicable property loss insurance does not fully compensate Company for the Costs of fully reinstating such warranty benefit or right under such Company-Procured Equipment, (i) pay to Company the additional Costs associated with fully reinstating such warranty benefit and/or right with the applicable supplier, or (ii) assume directly the obligation to provide such warranty benefit and/or right on the same terms and conditions as provided by the supplier of the Company-Procured Equipment.
  (iv)           For the avoidance of doubt, Contractor shall have no liability for any liquidated damages under Section 14.1(f)(ii) that in the absence of any act or omission of Contractor would nevertheless not have otherwise been due to Company from the supplier under the applicable Company-Procured Equipment Purchase Agreement.

  LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
  Section 23.1
General
  The Parties agree that it is difficult or impossible to determine with precision the amount of damages that would be incurred by Company as a result of Contractor’s failure to timely achieve Substantial Completion or to achieve the BOP Load Guarantee. Accordingly, any sums that may become payable under this Article 23 because of such failures shall be deemed (i) to be liquidated damages (“Liquidated Damages”), (ii) to not be  a penalty, and (iii) to be fair and reasonable and that they represent a reasonable estimate of fair compensation for the losses and Liabilities that may reasonably be anticipated from such failures.  Except in connection with Contractor’s obligation to meet the Minimum Performance Guarantees and the remedies associated with Contractor’s failure to do so, the payment by Contractor to Company of Late Substantial Completion LDs and BOP Load Guarantee LDs shall be Company’s exclusive remedies for and Contractor’s sole obligations arising out of such delay and/or deficiencies.
  Section 23.2
Liquidated Damages for Delay in Substantial Completion
  If Contractor fails to achieve Substantial Completion on or before the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date, then commencing on the day following the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date, Contractor shall pay Company Liquidated Damages, for each day until Contractor achieves Substantial Completion, in the following amounts (collectively, “Late Substantial Completion LDs”):
  (a)           during the initial sixty (60) days following the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date, an amount equal to five thousand Dollars ($5,000) per day; and

  In no event shall the Late Substantial Completion LDs exceed ten percent (10%) of the Contract Price.
  57
  Section 23.3
Liquidated Damages for Failure to Achieve the BOP Load Guarantee
  (a)           If the Work fails to achieve the BOP Load Guarantee, Contractor shall pay Liquidated Damages in accordance with this Section 23.3 (the “BOP Load Guarantee LDs”).
  (b)           If Substantial Completion has occurred and the BOP Load Guarantee has not been met at Substantial Completion as demonstrated by the Final Performance Test Report, Contractor shall have the opportunity to demonstrate to Company via technical demonstration that the BOP Load falls within a reasonably expected range and that the Plant was designed in accordance with Prudent Industry Practice and in the best interests of the Company.  If Company determines in its sole discretion that either or both of the items in the preceding sentence have not been met, Contractor shall have a sixty (60) day cure period (the “BOP Load Guarantee LD Cure Period”) after the Substantial Completion Date to either repair or replace the underperforming Equipment or otherwise remedy the failure to meet the BOP Load Guarantee, or pay to Company the BOP Load Guarantee LDs, all in accordance with Section 23.3(c).
  (c)           Contractor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to repair or replace the underperforming Equipment, or otherwise remedy the failure to meet the BOP Load Guarantee, during the BOP Load Guarantee LD Cure Period.  On or before the expiration of BOP Load Guarantee LD Cure Period, Contractor shall have demonstrated to Company’s satisfaction in Company’s sole discretion that the BOP Load Guarantee has been met.  In the event of Contractor’s failure to so demonstrate, Contractor shall pay to Company Liquidated Damages in the amount of $1,800 per kW; provided, however, that the amount of BOP Load Guarantee LDs shall not exceed, in the aggregate, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Contract Price.

  Section 23.5
Calculations and Payments of Liquidated Damages
  (a)           Unless otherwise set forth in this Article 23, all calculations with respect to amounts payable as Liquidated Damages under this Article 23 shall be made by Contractor and provided to Company within, and shall become due and payable (i) in the case of Section 23.2, ten (10) Business Days after the final day of each month during which such delay occurs; and (ii) in the case of Section 23.3, five (5) Business Days after expiration of the BOP Load Guarantee LD Cure Period.  Company shall have the right to audit such calculations. Contractor shall itemize such calculations and such calculations shall include such supporting documentation as Company shall reasonably request and shall be in sufficient detail to permit Company to verify each calculation. Company shall notify Contractor as soon as reasonably practicable of any portion of the calculations with which Company disagrees.  In the event Contractor disputes in good faith the payment of any portion of Liquidated Damages hereunder, Company shall not otherwise withhold payment or make payment of such disputed portion of Liquidated Damages one of the criteria for Substantial Completion.
  58
  (b)           Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the maximum amount of Liquidated Damages hereunder exceed ten percent (10%) of the Contract Price.
  (c)           Liquidated Damages shall bear interest at the Late Payment Rate, compounded daily from the date such amount was due.

  FORCE MAJEURE
  Section 27.1
Effect of Force Majeure
  Neither Party shall be considered to be in default or in breach of its obligations under this Contract to the extent that performance of such obligations is prevented by any event of Force Majeure arising after the Effective Date and such Party has otherwise complied with the requirements of this Article 27.
  Section 27.2
Notice of Occurrence
  If either Party considers that any event of Force Majeure has occurred which may materially affect performance of its obligations under this Contract, it shall promptly notify the other Party thereof stating the full particulars and anticipated duration of the event and the performance obligations that will be affected by the event.  The Party invoking Force Majeure shall provide to the other Party (i) notice of the occurrence of Force Majeure in writing within two (2) Business Days after such Party becomes aware of the occurrence and (ii) an initial written report of the potential impact of the Force Majeure event on the Work, the status of the Force Majeure event and the steps and measures undertaken or proposed to be undertaken by Contractor in connection therewith within seven (7) Business Days after the provision of the notice specified in subsection (i) and shall continue to furnish such reports on weekly basis with respect thereto during the continuation, and until the termination, of the Force Majeure.

Contractor shall notify Company of the steps Contractor proposes to take, including any reasonable alternative means for performance, which is not prevented by Force Majeure. Contractor shall not take any such alternative steps unless directed to do so by Company pursuant to a Change Order.  Contractor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) mitigate all such costs and impacts on the Project Schedule and (b) remedy its inability to perform and resume its performance at the earliest practical time after cessation of the Force Majeure.  The obligations of Contractor that arose prior to the Force Majeure and that are not affected by such Force Majeure shall not be excused as a result of such Force Majeure.
  Section 27.4
Resumption of Performance
  When the Party invoking Force Majeure is able to resume performance of its obligations hereunder, that Party will provide the other Party with written notice to that effect and will promptly resume such performance.
  Section 27.5
Termination in Consequence of Force Majeure
  If circumstances of Force Majeure have occurred that have materially affected the Work and have continued for a period of forty-five (45) days in the aggregate, and there is a corresponding delay in the schedule for performance and the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date of forty-five (45) days in the aggregate caused by the Force Majeure, then, notwithstanding that Contractor may by reason thereof have been granted an extension of the schedule for performance and the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date by Change Order, Company shall be entitled to provide notice of its intent to terminate this Contract upon thirty (30) days notice to Contractor. If, at the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period, such Force Majeure shall still continue, Company may elect to terminate this Contract as a Voluntary Termination.

  ARTICLE 31
 ASSIGNMENT
  Section 31.1
Contractor Assignment
  Contractor may not assign this Contract or any portion thereof (including its rights and obligations under this Contract) to any other Person, except with Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not unreasonably withheld.
  Section 31.2
Company Assignment
  Except as set forth elsewhere herein and in Sections 31.3, 31.4, 31.5 and 31.6 of this Contract, Company may not assign this Contract or any portion thereof (including its rights and obligations under this Contract) to any other Person, except with Contractor’s prior written consent, which consent shall not unreasonably withheld.
  Section 31.3
Company’s Right to Assign to ML&P
  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract to the contrary, Company may, without the consent of Contractor, assign up to a thirty percent (30%) undivided interest in this Contract to ML&P or an Affiliate of ML&P, provided that:
  (a)           any such assignment shall not affect or alter the rights, obligations,  duties, or limitations of liability of Company hereunder to Contractor in any manner;
  (b)           any such assignment shall not affect or alter the rights, obligations, duties, or limitations of liability of Contractor hereunder to Company in any manner; and
  (c)           Company shall remain fully responsible for the performance of all obligations to Contractor hereunder, including payment of one hundred percent (100%) of the Contract Price, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Contract.
  In addition, Contractor agrees that it shall not be entitled as a result of any such assignment or otherwise to enforce or attempt to enforce any rights or remedies it may have against Company hereunder against ML&P or Affiliate of ML&P and Contractor hereby covenants with Company that it shall not do or take any actions with respect to any of the foregoing.  Company shall provide Contractor with thirty (30) days prior written notice of any such assignment and shall notify Contractor in writing of any such assignment once such assignment occurs.  For the avoidance of doubt, upon any such assignment (i) Contractor’s limitations of liability and obligations shall apply jointly to Company and ML&P or Affiliate of ML&P, as the case may be (or any subsequent permitted assignee of an interest in this Contract) such that Contractor’s total liability shall not exceed the amount(s) set forth in Article 24 unless the obligation in question is expressly excluded from such limitation on liability and (ii) in the event this Contract is assigned to ML&P or an Affiliate of ML&P, Contractor’s performance of any obligation hereunder for the benefit of Company shall be deemed to be performance for the benefit of ML&P or such Affiliate of ML&P, as the case may be (or any other permitted assignee) and Contractor’s performance of any obligation hereunder for the benefit of ML&P or such Affiliate of ML&P, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be performance for the benefit of Company (or any other permitted assignee).  In no event shall Company and ML&P or an Affiliate of ML&P, as the case may be, collectively be entitled to recover more than one hundred percent (100%) of the  damages associated with a particular Claim.  Subject to the preceding set forth in this Section 31.3, upon any such assignment to ML&P or an Affiliate of ML&P, Company shall have the right to enforce this Contract on behalf of ML&P or such Affiliate of ML&P (or any subsequent permitted assignee of an interest in this Contract), as well as for itself.  For that purpose, Company may commence proceedings in its own name to enforce all obligations and liabilities of Contractor and to make any Claim that ML&P or such Affiliate of ML&P, as the case may be (or any subsequent permitted assignee of an interest in this Contract) may have against Contractor under and in accordance with this Contract.  The Parties agree that for the purposes of the Guaranty, the enforcement by Company of this Contract on behalf of  ML&P or an Affiliate of ML&P, as the case may be (or any subsequent permitted assignee of an interest in this Contract) and the making of any Claim by ML&P or an Affiliate of ML&P, as the case may be (or any subsequent permitted assignee of an interest in this Contract) against Contractor under and in accordance with this Contract shall for the purpose of the Guaranty be considered as Claims of Company with respect to which Company shall be entitled to claim under the Guaranty subject to the terms and conditions thereof.
  72
  Section 31.4
Conveyance of Title to Equipment
  To the extent title has transferred to Company, Company may convey title to any or all of the Equipment and Materials to ML&P or an Affiliate of ML&P at any time without the consent of Contractor; provided, that any such assignment shall not affect or alter the rights, obligations, duties, or limitations of liability of Company hereunder to Contractor or the rights, obligations, duties, or limitations of liability of Contractor hereunder to Company in any manner.  In addition, Contractor agrees that it shall not be entitled as a result of any such conveyance or assignment or otherwise to enforce or attempt to enforce any rights or remedies it may have against Company hereunder against ML&P or Affiliate of ML&P and Contractor hereby covenants with Company that it shall not do or take any actions with respect to any of the foregoing.
  Section 31.5
Collateral Assignment
  Company and ML&P may also assign, without the consent of Contractor, a collateral interest in this Contract to a lender as collateral security for a loan for the acquisition of Equipment, payment for the Work or the development and construction of the Plant.  Under no circumstances, however, shall a collateral assignment require Contractor to deliver Equipment to or perform Work for Company or an assignee if Contractor has not received payment of the applicable portion of the Contract Price.
  73
  Section 31.6
Assignment to State Instrumentality
  Company and/or, in the event an interest in the Contract and/or Equipment or Materials has been assigned or otherwise conveyed to ML&P or an Affiliate of ML&P under this Contract, ML&P or its Affiliate, may, without the consent of Contractor, provided that Company, ML&P and/or an Affiliate of ML&P, as the case may be, furnishes thirty (30) days prior written notice to Contractor, assign all or any portion of its interest in this Contract and/or convey title to any or all of the Equipment, Materials or Work to an entity owned and operated by a governmental authority, including the Municipality of Anchorage, a public corporate authority of the Municipality of Anchorage, a public corporation and/or instrumentality of the State of Alaska, a public corporation or instrumentality with a separate and independent legal existence and/or a political subdivision within a department of the State of Alaska, a public corporation or authority owned or operated by any of the foregoing governmental authorities, a department of a governmental agency, a joint action agency or an electric cooperative organized to own and operate generation and transmission assets.

  (b)           The obligations contained in the preceding paragraph shall not apply, or shall cease to apply, to Confidential Information if or when, and to the extent that, such Confidential Information (i) was known to the receiving Party or its Confidentiality Affiliates prior to receipt from the disclosing Party or its Confidentiality Affiliates; (ii) was, or becomes through no breach of the receiving Party’s obligations hereunder, known to the public; (iii) becomes known to the receiving Party or its Confidentiality Affiliates from other sources under circumstances not involving any breach of any confidentiality obligation between such source and the disclosing Party’s or discloser’s Confidentiality Affiliates or a third party; (iv) is independently developed by the receiving Party or its Confidentiality Affiliates; or (v) is required to be disclosed by Applicable Law or legal process. Contractor acknowledges that Company or ML&P may be required to disclose all or substantially all information provided by Contractor pursuant to this Contract by order of Governmental Authority, and that such disclosure shall in no event be deemed a violation of this Section 32.1.  As to Confidential Information that is not a trade secret under Applicable Law, the foregoing obligations shall expire five (5) years after the Final Completion Date.
  (c)           When required by the appropriate Governmental Authority, a receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information of the other Party to such Governmental Authority provided, however, that prior to making any such disclosure, such Party shall: (i) if reasonably possible, provide the disclosing Party with timely advance notice of the Confidential Information requested by such Governmental Authority and the intent of such Party to so disclose; (ii) minimize the amount of Confidential Information to be provided consistent with the interest of the disclosing Party and the requirements of the Governmental Authority involved; and (iii) make commercially reasonable efforts (which shall include participation by the disclosing Party as applicable in discussions with the Governmental Authority involved) to secure confidential treatment and minimization of the Confidential Information to be provided. In the event that efforts to secure confidential treatment are unsuccessful, the disclosing Party shall have the prior right to revise such information to minimize the disclosure of such Confidential Information in a manner consistent with its interest and the requirements of the Governmental Authority involved.
  (d)           Company’s disclosure of Contractor Drawings and Manuals to third parties in accordance with its obligations hereunder shall not be a breach of this Article 32.

  3.           Absolute Obligation.  Subject only to the provisions of Section 4, the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty are absolute and without regard to the enforceability of the Contract or of any terms thereof, or lack of power or authority of Contractor to enter into the Contract, or any substitution, taking, release or exchange of any other guaranty of or any security for Contractor’s performance under the Contract or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor.  Without limitation, the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be affected, reduced, modified, impaired or discharged upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
 
 (a)            the change, modification or amendment of any obligation, duty, guarantee, warranty, responsibility, covenant or contract (including without limitation Change Orders (as such term is defined in the Contract)) set forth in the Contract;
 
 (b)            any failure, omission, delay by or inability on the part of Beneficiary to assert or exercise any right, power or remedy conferred upon Beneficiary under the Contract or this Guaranty;

 Prior to conducting Plant Performance Tests, Contractor shall coordinate and schedule the CEMS certification.  If the CEMS has not been certified, the Performance Tests can be conducted using a certified 3rd party stack tester.
 
 Contractor shall conduct tests to verify OTSG, CTG, and STG unit performance, plus combined cycle power output, fuel consumption, emissions, and Plant electric parasitic loads.  Contractor shall provide all necessary test instrumentation, parts and labor for the Performance Tests. Performance tests shall be performed in accordance with ASME PTCs as required, provisionally including aspects of PTC 4, 6, 22 and 46 and in accordance with Company-Procured Equipment suppliers’ testing requirements and conditions.
 
 During all Plant Performance Tests, the Plant shall be operated in a mode that is representative of the long-term normal operating configuration with all equipment operating as designed and within limits prescribed by manufacturers’ O&M manuals and the Operations and Maintenance Manuals consistent with Prudent Industry Practice.  No normally operating systems should be taken out of service, including bypassing or suppressing of alarms, unless specifically allowed for in the Company-approved test procedure.
 
 Instruments for primary measurements shall be calibrated using standard reference sources or shall have been previously calibrated and certified by independent nationally or internationally approved calibration authorities (NIST-traceable).
 
 Calibration certificates shall be provided for all test instruments at the time of test.  Any and all costs involved in preparation of calibration certificates shall be to Contractor’s account.
 
 Precision test instrumentation will generally be utilized per the relevant ASME PTC.  Allowances will be made for measurement uncertainty in performance calculations. Measurement uncertainty will be based on the accuracy of the individual instruments used in conducting the Performance Tests.  An analysis of the pre-test measurement uncertainty shall be performed by Contractor, in accordance with ASME PTC 19.1 as part of the detailed Performance Test procedure and shall be submitted to Company for review and approval.  Post-test measurement uncertainty will be in the performance test report.
 
 For all equipment other than the CTGs the Performance Tests shall consist of four consecutive one-hour tests. During each one hour period all equipment shall meet the guarantees.
 
 4.2
Plant BOP Load
 
 During the Plant net power output and Plant net heat rate tests the Plant total parasitic load power consumption shall be measured with the results corrected to Plant design conditions.  Test results shall be adjusted so that the corrected results do not include the parasitic load associated with Company-Procured Equipment, Company-Procured Equipment parasitic losses and electrical load associated with the Plant operations building.
  
  4.3
Air Emissions
 
 Testing shall be done in accordance with the approved air permit, ADEC rules and regulations, EPA rules and regulations and in accordance with GE testing procedures and conditions.
 
 Normal Plant start-up and operating procedures shall be used when operating the units during the tests.  The CTGs shall be operated between minimum load of 50% based on Company Procured Equipment and 100% of baseload.
 
 4.4
CTG Power Output, Heat Rate and Exhaust Energy
 
 Contractor shall conduct individual CTG power output, heat rate and exhaust energy tests to verify each CTGs performance while in compliance with the stack emissions guarantees listed in the table above. Each CTG shall be individually tested for generator gross electrical output and fuel input in accordance with the performance and acceptance testing requirements described in the GE CTG purchase agreement  appendices. The test data will be corrected to design conditions using the ASME Power Test Code 22 as modified by GE and by using GE’s correction curves and correction procedures. The Plant Performance Tests shall be completed as a condition of Substantial Completion.
 
 Contractor shall provide instrumentation meeting the maximum allowable uncertainty criteria identified in the ASME PTC 22. Contractor shall prepare an uncertainty calculation in accordance with the procedures defined in ASME PTC 22 and by ASME PTC 19.1 to establish the overall test uncertainty.
 
 Contractor is only required to perform the CTG performance testing.  Contractor is not responsible for CTG equipment performance guarantees.
 
 During the Plant net power output and Plant net heat rate tests the GE supplied equipment parasitic load power consumption shall be measured with the results corrected to Plant design conditions.
 
 During the Plant net power output and Plant net heat rate tests, GSU losses shall be determined with the results corrected to Plant design conditions.
 
 4.5
Noise Emissions
 
 Noise measurements shall be made with the Plant operating at baseload conditions in its normal Plant configuration.
 
 Noise tests shall only be carried out when weather conditions are dry with light winds.  Wind speed shall be calm and not exceed 5 mph during any noise measurements.
 
 The results of the noise measurements shall be reported together with the operating conditions of the Plant equipment, meteorological conditions, noise measurement locations, and details of the instrumentation used for the measurements.  Any corrections made to the measured noise levels to take account of background noise levels or noise from other sources should be identified.
 
 Near-field Noise: Contractor shall guarantee that the sound level from all Equipment (other than Contractor Equipment) after erected and installed as an integrated part of the Plant shall not exceed 85 dBA when measured at five (5) feet above the base elevation of equipment and at a horizontal distance of three (3) feet from the Equipment surface.
  
  Equipment that need not meet the above criteria includes the following: gas compressors, air cooled condenser, building ventilators, stacks, CTG inlet, relief valve vents, and start-up valve vents.
 
 The near-field noise level guarantee is limited to normal continuous operation of the Plant.  Each measurement of continuous Plant noise shall be made over 5 minute long sample periods.  Any extraneous noise shall be adjusted for.  The measuring equipment shall comply with ANSI S1.4 precision standards.  The test instrumentation shall be calibrated before use.  All noise tests shall be conducted by Contractor in accordance with ANSI Standards and good engineering practice.
 
 If the average of A-weighted sound levels, per piece of Equipment, assuming free-field measurement conditions, does not exceed 85 dBA, the Equipment will be considered to pass this portion of the noise guarantee.
 
 4.6           Reliability Test
 
 The reliability test shall last for a period of 72 consecutive hours and shall demonstrate compliance with the Reliability Guarantee.
 
 The reliability test output shall be between 50% to 100% of full CTG power output based on a load schedule provided by Company and agreed by Contractor prior to commencing the run, and may include start­ups, shutdowns and other normal Equipment operation.
 
 The term "Equivalent Availability" is specifically defined as follows for the purposes of the reliability test:  EA = ((A+B+C)x100%)/72,
 
 where:
EA =       Equivalent Availability in percent (%).
 
 A =
Total number of hours during the reliability test that the Plant  is operating at the output required by dispatch control. These hours may include time to start-up, shut-down or other normal operation.
 
 B =
Total number of hours during the test that the Plant is available for normal operation, but the Plant is not allowed to operate ornot allowed to operate normally due to Company, Company-Procured Equipment defect or malfunction.
 
 C =
Total number of hours during the test that the Plant is not operating, but is available for normal operation up to base load, including start-up, shut­down, coat-down or other normal unit operation.
