a separate Change Order); provided, that Owner shall only be required to reimburse Contractor if Contractor has complied with the cost proposal
requirements set forth above. 
 8.3 Change Orders. If Owner wishes to proceed with the Change, Owner shall issue a written order to Contractor
authorizing the Change and setting forth any revisions to this Agreement that it deems, in good faith, necessary or appropriate to effect the Change (the “Change Order”). If Contractor refuses to accept such revisions in the Change
Order, Contractor shall provide Owner written notice thereof within ten (10) Business Day of its receipt of the Change Order, describing in reasonable detail its objections to the Change Order. Owner shall be entitled, despite such notice from
Contractor, to require Contractor to continue to perform its obligations hereunder as would be modified by the Change Order; provided, that, if Owner requires Contractor to so perform and Contractor has provided Owner timely notice objecting to such
Change Order, (x) the Parties shall resolve the Dispute over the necessary or appropriate revisions in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article 28 and (y) if the Change involves additional or disputed
Work, Owner shall continue to pay Contractor pursuant to the payment terms hereof based, subject to resolution of the Dispute pursuant to Article 28 (Owner may require any dispute over price to be resolved pursuant to an “open book”
process), on the [*] Once the Dispute is resolved, any amount owing will be paid within thirty (30) Days after the date of resolution. Contractor shall furnish to Owner such receipts or other vouchers as may be necessary to prove the amounts
paid and labor performed [*] and, before ordering materials, shall submit to Owner quotations for the same for Owner’s approval (such approval not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld). Promptly after the end of each month, Contractor shall
deliver to Owner a priced statement of the labor and materials used during such month associated with such Change performed on a [*] basis.

Caused Changes. If Contractor experiences an increase in costs or a delay in Contractor’s ability to perform the Work due to Owner or due to a delay in the delivery of any Owner Equipment or a delay resulting from a defect in any Owner
Equipment or a breach of the Owner Equipment Contracts by the suppliers of the Owner Equipment, and such delay or defect is not the result of Contractor’s failure to comply with the requirements of this Agreement, Contractor shall be entitled
to a Change and an equitable adjustment in the [*] and/or the Schedule. 
 8.5 Contractor Proposed Changes. Contractor shall have the right to request
a Change but shall have no right to require a Change which is not contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of Owner; however, nothing herein shall be construed to restrict Contractor’s right to request an equitable
adjustment in the [*] and Schedule to mitigate impacts caused by events such as, but not limited to, Force Majeure and Change in Law. 
 9. FORCE
MAJEURE 
 9.1 Event of Force Majeure. The performance by Owner or Contractor under this Agreement shall be excused to the extent that such
Party’s performance is delayed or prevented by reason of an event of Force Majeure. If a Party is or will be reasonably prevented from performing its obligations under this Agreement by an event of Force Majeure, such Party shall use all

custody, control and operation of the Combined Cycle Facility to Owner. For the purposes of calculating Combined Cycle Liquidated Damages, the date upon which Contractor submits the certifying notice required by this Section 10.8 (if
such notice is accurate) shall be deemed the Combined Cycle Substantial Completion Date. 
 If Contractor is unable to satisfy any of the foregoing
conditions as a result of any event or circumstance for which neither Contractor nor any Subcontractor is responsible or as a result of the improper performance of any Owner Equipment or any other fault of any supplier of any Owner Equipment and
Contractor has complied with its obligations relating to such Owner Equipment in accordance with Section 3.1(a)(ii), Contractor shall be entitled to a Change Order providing, at Owner’s election, that such condition is deemed to
have been satisfied (but only to the extent Contractor is unable to satisfy such condition) or for an equitable adjustment to the Work, the [*] or otherwise as may be reasonable under the circumstances.

 11. OWNER’S RIGHT TO OPERATE 
 11.1 [*] Upon the Simple Cycle Substantial Completion Date, Owner shall take care, custody and
control of the Simple Cycle Facility and shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to operate the Simple Cycle Facility without interference from the Work for up to [*] Days, provided that Owner shall continue to
provide Contractor reasonable access to the Site, in order for Contractor to complete the Work listed on the Substantial Completion Punch List and to complete the Work necessary in order to complete the Combined Cycle portion of the Work. Owner
shall notify Contractor of the Combined Cycle Tie-In Access Date, which shall occur no later than such [*] Day, at which time Contractor
shall, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable, effect the Combined Cycle Tie-In. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Contractor is not ready to effect the Combined Cycle Tie-In by such [*] Day, Owner shall have the right to continue to
operate the Simple Cycle Facility until such date as Contractor is, and has notified Owner that it is, prepared to effect the Combined Cycle Tie-In. If Owner elects to operate the Simple Cycle Facility without permitting the Combined Cycle Tie-In
for a period in excess of [*] Days or otherwise notifies Contractor in writing that it is not ready for Contractor to effect the Combined Cycle Tie-In by such [*] Day, Contractor shall be entitled to a Change Order providing for an
equitable extension to the Guaranteed Combined Cycle Substantial Completion Date. 
 11.2 Owner’s Right to Operate Prior to Satisfaction of
Performance Guarantees. If the Simple Cycle Facility or the Combined Cycle Facility fails to satisfy the applicable Performance Guarantees during the applicable Performance Testing or fails to achieve Simple Cycle Substantial Completion by the
Guaranteed Simple Cycle Substantial Completion Date or Combined Cycle Substantial Completion by the Guaranteed Combined Cycle Substantial Completion Date and the Simple Cycle Facility or the Combined Cycle Facility can be operated in compliance with
applicable Laws, Owner, in its sole discretion, shall have the right nonetheless to operate the Simple Cycle Facility or the Combined Cycle Facility and shall give Contractor written notice of its decision. If Owner elects to operate the Simple
Cycle Facility or the Combined Cycle Facility and, during such time, does not permit Contractor to cure the Defects necessary to satisfy the applicable Minimum Performance Guarantees, then the Guaranteed Simple Cycle Substantial Completion Date,
Guaranteed Combined Cycle Substantial Completion Date and Guaranteed Final Completion Date (if such dates have not passed) shall be extended on an equitable basis until such time as Owner tenders the Simple Cycle Facility or the Combined Cycle
Facility to Contractor for further Services and Performance Testing, and Contractor shall be entitled to a Change Order for equitable schedule and/or price adjustment. Owner shall bear the risk of loss during such time as it operates the Simple
Cycle Facility or the Combined Cycle Facility. Owner’s operation of the Simple Cycle Facility or the Combined Cycle Facility under this Section shall not reduce Contractor’s obligations under this Agreement, including Contractor’s
obligation to cause each of the Simple Cycle Facility and the Combined Cycle Facility to satisfy the Specifications and applicable Performance Guarantees, except for normal wear and tear and operation not in accordance with the Specifications or
Prudent Industry Practices. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if Owner elects to operate the Facility for more than [*] as contemplated in this Section 11.2, and such election to operate

4% per annum or the highest rate allowed by applicable Law, whichever is less. Any [*] disputed by Contractor and determined to be payable pursuant to the resolution of such dispute in accordance with this Agreement shall also bear
interest from the expiration of the ten-Day period referred to above at the Prime Interest Rate plus 4% per annum or the highest rate allowed by applicable Law, whichever is less. Notwithstanding the assessment of interest, and in addition to
its other rights and remedies, Owner shall have the right to offset the amount of any [*] plus interest against any amounts due or that may become due to Contractor under this Agreement. Any amounts of [*] determined to be wrongfully
assessed against Contractor by Owner shall bear interest, from the time such amounts were paid by Contractor or offset by Owner, at the Prime Interest Rate plus 4% per annum or the highest rate allowed by applicable Law, whichever is less.

 13. WARRANTY 
 13.1 Services Warranty Period.
Contractor warrants that all Services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner, will conform to the requirements of this Agreement, including the requirements set forth in Section 3.1(a)(ii), and will reflect competent
professional knowledge and judgment for a period commencing on the date such Service was performed and ending [*] after the Combined Cycle Substantial Completion Date (the “Services Warranty Period”), provided that the
Services Warranty Period for each Service performed with respect to the Substantial Completion Punch List shall commence upon Contractor’s completion of, and Owner’s acceptance of, such Service and shall continue for a period of [*]
thereafter or after the Combined Cycle Substantial Completion Date, whichever is later. 
 [*] Redacted type. 
  

 48 
 Duke:

 13.2 Equipment Warranty Period. Contractor warrants that the following Equipment furnished to Owner will be free
from Defects in workmanship and material and will conform to this Agreement, including the Specifications: 
 (a) for Equipment to be turned
over at Simple Cycle Substantial Completion, a period of [*] from Simple Cycle Substantial Completion; and 
 (b) for Equipment to be
turned over at Combined Cycle Substantial Completion, a period of [*] from Combined Cycle Substantial Completion 
 (collectively, the
“Equipment Warranty Period”), provided that the Equipment Warranty Period for each item on the Substantial Completion Punch List shall commence upon Contractor’s completion of, and Owner’s acceptance of, the particular
Substantial Completion Punch List item and shall continue for a period of [*] thereafter or after the Combined Cycle Substantial Completion Date, whichever is later. In addition, to the extent the Owner and Contractor negotiate an equipment
warranty period with a Subcontractor that exceeds the time periods set forth herein, Contractor shall assign for the benefit of the Owner any such warranty period that exceeds the [*] period. 
 13.3 Extension of Warranty Periods. If a Defect (as defined in Section 13.4) is discovered within the applicable Warranty Period and such Defect is
not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of Owner, then the applicable Warranty Period shall be extended to the [*] of the date such Defect was corrected, but only with respect to the Equipment or Service that was the subject of such Defect.
In no event shall any Services Warranty Period or Equipment Warranty Period extend beyond [*] from the Combined Cycle Substantial Completion Date. 
 13.4 Defects. If, within the Services Warranty Period or Equipment Warranty Period, as applicable, breaches or failures of the foregoing warranties (“Defects”) are discovered by Owner or Contractor, Contractor shall
commence, within a timely manner upon being discovered or upon notice from Owner, to correct, and diligently and continually prosecute measures which are reasonably calculated to correct, such Defects, including re-performance or re-provision of any
affected portion of the Work and repair of any resulting damage, and shall demonstrate to Owner’s reasonable satisfaction that such Defects have been properly corrected. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate
performance of warranty Work at a time responsive to and consistent with Owner’s interest in the efficient operation of its business and so as to minimize revenue loss to Owner and to avoid disruption of Owner’s operations at the Facility.
Contractor shall be responsible for all inspection, removal, packaging, transportation, installation, and consulting for the correction of Defects. Owner shall provide Contractor with reasonable access at the Site to correct Defects. All costs of
correcting Warranty Defects shall be treated as [*]. All such Warranty costs shall be [*] 
 13.5 Responsibility for Warranty Work.
Contractor shall have primary liability with respect to the warranties in this Agreement other than for the Owner Equipment, whether or not any Defect or other matter is also covered by a warranty of a Subcontractor, and Owner need only look to
Contractor for corrective action. In addition, Contractor’s warranties shall not be restricted in any manner by any warranty of a Subcontractor, and the refusal of a Subcontractor to provide or honor a warranty or to correct defective,
deficient or nonconforming Work shall not excuse Contractor from its liability on 
 [*] Redacted type.

its warranties to Owner. Contractor shall have no responsibility to perform any warranty Work with respect to Owner Equipment unless any Defect with respect
to such Owner Equipment is attributable to Contractor’s failure to comply with the requirements set forth in Section 3.1(a). 
 13.6
Title Warranty. Contractor warrants that it shall provide to, and, effective as of the applicable date set forth in Section 22.1, hereby assigns and transfers to, Owner good, marketable and exclusive title to the paid-up
Equipment, free and clear of all Liens; provided, however, that Contractor shall not be required to assign and transfer to Owner good, marketable and exclusive title to certain intellectual property to be licensed to Owner as provided
in Article 19. Contractor represents and warrants that it has the right to grant the license rights granted by Contractor herein. In the event of any nonconformity with or breach of this Section, Contractor shall, at its own expense,
promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) Days thereof, remove any Lien on any of such Equipment or otherwise provide Owner good, marketable and exclusive title to such Equipment, free and clear of all Liens, or, as the case may be, provide
Owner the license rights purported to be granted by Contractor herein; provided, that, if Contractor is unable within such thirty (30) Day period to remove such Lien, Contractor may post a bond in an amount (and otherwise in form and
substance) reasonably acceptable to Owner so long as Contractor continues to use all commercially reasonable efforts to remove such Lien as promptly as practicable. This Section shall survive the expiration, cancellation or termination of this
Agreement. 
 13.7 Intellectual Property Warranty. Contactor represents and warrants that the Services performed by Contractor or its Subcontractors,
the Equipment and the Documentation, or any part of any of the foregoing, will not infringe or constitute a misappropriation of any right of any third party, including any copyrights, mask work rights, patent rights, trademark rights, trade secret
rights or confidentiality rights. 
 13.8 Warranty Assistance. During the Warranty Periods, Owner shall, without cost to Contractor: (a) provide
Contractor reasonable working access (subject to such restrictions and conditions as Owner may have instituted generally for its contractors) to the Site to remove, disassemble, replace and reinstall any Equipment with respect to which a Defect
exists; (b) remove any material or structures not provided or installed by Contractor; and (c) provide Contractor reasonable access to Facility personnel as are reasonably necessary to assist Contractor in the performance of its warranty
obligations. 
 13.9 Conditions of Warranty. To the extent that Contractor shows that any failure by Contractor to meet the foregoing warranties is
the result of (a) Owner’s failure to maintain the Equipment furnished in a reasonable manner or in accordance with any reasonable Contractor requirements conveyed to Owner, (b) Owner’s failure to operate the Equipment within its
rating or to operate and maintain the Equipment in a reasonable manner consistent with equipment vendors’ instructions, (c) Owner subjecting the Equipment to abuse or misuse, or (d) normal wear and tear or corrosion inherent in the
operation of the Facility, then, to that extent, Contractor shall be excused for said failure. 
 13.10 Exclusive Warranties. THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH
IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE EXCLUSIVE AND ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES WHETHER STATUTORY, EXPRESS, OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ALL WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR
USAGE OF TRADE). Correction of Defects in the manner and within the period of time provided herein shall constitute complete fulfillment of all of the liabilities of

 Shaw:        









 
Contractor with respect to such Defect, whether the claims by Owner are based in contract, in tort (including negligence and strict liability), or otherwise.

 14. INDEMNIFICATION 
 14.1 Contractor’s
Indemnity. Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless Owner, its parents and Affiliates, and their respective partners, shareholders, members, agents, employees, officers, directors and lenders (collectively, the “Owner
Indemnitees”) from and against: 
 (a) any and all Third Party Claims and all damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses
associated therewith (including attorneys’ fees and other professionals’ fees) for any injury of or death to persons, damage to or destruction of third party property, contamination of the environment or injury to natural resources,
whether contractual, in tort, or as a matter of strict liability or liability imposed by Law, to the extent any of the foregoing arise out of the negligent or willful or wanton acts or omissions of Contractor, any Subcontractor or any of their
respective employees, agents or third parties over which either has reasonable control during the performance of the Services, and 
 (b) any
and all claims, demands or causes of action of every kind and character by any Person and all damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses associated therewith (including attorneys’ fees and other professionals’ fees) for: 

(i) any violation or alleged violation of Laws by Contractor, any Subcontractor or any of their respective employees, agents or third
parties over which either has reasonable control (unless caused by Owner, any of Owner’s Affiliates or subcontractors, or any of their respective employees or agents or third parties over which any of them has control); 
 (ii) any action taken by Contractor, any Subcontractor or any of their respective employees, agents or third parties over which either has
reasonable control, which action results directly in Owner violating any Law; or 
 (iii) any prohibited assignment by
Contractor of this Agreement. 
 14.2 Owner’s Indemnity. Owner shall indemnify and hold harmless Contractor, its parents and Affiliates and their
respective partners, shareholders, members, agents, employees, officers, directors, and lenders (collectively, the “Contractor Indemnitees” and, together with the Owner Indemnitees, collectively the “Indemnified
Parties” and individually an “Indemnified Party”) from and against: 
 (a) any and all Third Party Claims and all
damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses associated therewith (including attorneys’ fees and other professionals’ fees) for any injury of or death to persons, damage to or destruction of third party property, contamination of the
environment or injury to natural resources, whether contractual, in tort, or as a matter of strict liability or liability imposed by Law, to the extent any of the foregoing arise out of the negligent or willful or wanton acts or omissions of Owner
or any of its employees, agents or third parties over which it has reasonable control during the performance of the Services; and 
 (b) any
and all claims, demands or causes of action of every kind and character by any Person and all damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses associated therewith (including attorneys’ fees and other professionals’ fees) for: 

 

 51 
 Duke:         
 Shaw:        









 (i) any violation or alleged violation of Laws by Owner, its employees or agents or third
parties over which it has control (unless directly caused by Contractor, any of Contractor’s Affiliates, any Subcontractor, or any of their respective employees or agents or third parties over which any of them has control); 
 (ii) any prohibited assignment of this Agreement by Owner; or 
 (iii) any pre-existing Hazardous Materials. 
 14.3 Intellectual Property Indemnity. Contractor shall, at its own non-reimbursable expense, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Owner Indemnitees against any and all damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including
attorneys’ fees and other professionals’ fees) associated with any claims, suits or proceedings brought against any of the Owner Indemnitees based on an allegation that any Services performed by Contractor or its Subcontractors, the
Facility, the Documentation or the Equipment, or any part thereof, or use thereof, constitutes an infringement or misappropriation of any right of any third party, including any copyrights, mask work rights, United States patent rights, trademark
rights, trade secret rights, confidentiality rights or other property rights, if Contractor is notified promptly in writing and given authority, information, and assistance for the defense or settlement of such claim suit or proceeding. Contractor
will not be responsible for any settlement of such suit or proceeding made without its written consent. Contractor shall obtain Owner’s written consent, which may be withheld in Owner’s sole discretion, prior to entering into any
settlement of any such claim suit or proceeding that does not include a complete liability release for all Owner Indemnitees or that would prohibit or restrict use of any part of the Facility, the Documentation or the Equipment by any Owner
Indemnitees. If the use of the Facility, the Documentation or the Equipment, or any part thereof, as a result of any such claim, suit or proceeding is held to constitute infringement, and its use by any of the Owner Indemnitees is enjoined,
Contractor shall, at its option and its own non-reimbursable expense, either: (i) procure for such Owner Indemnitees the right to continue using the Facility, the Documentation or the Equipment, or any part thereof to the full extent provided
herein; (ii) replace same with substantially equivalent non-infringing Facility, Documentation or Equipment or parts thereof acceptable to Owner; or (iii) modify same in a manner acceptable to Owner and in conformance with the functional
requirements of this Agreement so it becomes non-infringing. Contractor shall flow down the requirements of this Section 14.3 and make Owner direct beneficiary of the indemnification obligation in its subcontracts with all Major
Subcontractors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Contractor’s obligations under this Section 14.3 shall not apply to the Owner Equipment or any manuals or other documentation provided by the supplier of the Owner Equipment.

 14.4 Indemnity Procedures for Third Party Claims. 
 (a) In the event of a Third Party Claim with respect to which an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnification under this Article, then the Indemnified Party must notify the indemnifying Party thereof in writing
of the existence of such Third Party Claim and must deliver copies of any documents served on the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that any failure to notify the indemnifying Party or deliver
such copies will not relieve the indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent that) the indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. 
 (b) The indemnifying Party shall have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing, reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified
Party, any Third Party Claim; 

  

 52 
 Duke:         
 Shaw:        









 
provided, however, that (i) if requested by the Indemnified Party, the indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence
reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (ii) the Indemnified Party may, at its
election, participate in the defense thereof at its sole cost and expense and (iii) if (A) the indemnifying Party shall fail to defend any Third Party Claim, (B) the Parties mutually agree in writing to allow the Indemnified Party to
assume the defense of such Third Party Claim and forego any indemnity claimed under this Article, (C) in the reasonable opinion of legal counsel for the Indemnified Party, such Third Party Claim involves the potential imposition of criminal
liability on the Indemnified Party, its directors, officers, employees or agents, (D) in the reasonable opinion of legal counsel for the Indemnified Party, the Third Party Claim involves, or is likely to involve, any claim by any Government
Authority or (E) in the reasonable opinion of legal counsel for the Indemnified Party, an actual or potential conflict of interest exists where it is advisable for such Indemnified Party to be represented by separate counsel, then the
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to control and assume responsibility for the defense of such Third Party Claim, at the cost and expense of the indemnified Party. The indemnifying Party may, in any event, participate in such proceedings at its
own cost and expense. 
 (c) The indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such litigation, other proceeding or other claim, shall have the
right in its sole discretion to settle such Third Party Claim only if (i) such settlement involves only the payment of money and execution of appropriate releases of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates, (ii) there is no finding or
admission of any violation of Law, and (iii) the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates will have no liability with respect to such compromise or settlement. Otherwise, no such Third Party Claim shall be settled or agreed to without the prior
written consent of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party and the indemnifying Party shall fully cooperate in good faith in connection with such defense and shall cause their legal counsel, accountants and affiliates to do so, and shall make
available to the other Party all relevant books, records, and information (in such Party’s control) during normal business hours, and shall furnish to each other such other assistance as the other Party may reasonably require in connection with
such defense, including making employees of the Indemnified Party available to testify and assist others in testifying in any such proceedings.

 15.4 General Insurance
Requirements. 
 (a) The provisions of Section 15.2 and Section 15.3 above do not modify or change any
responsibility of Contractor or its Subcontractors as stated elsewhere in this Agreement. Owner assumes no responsibility for the solvency of any insurer to settle any claim. The insurance requirements herein are separate and apart from and in no
way limit Contractor’s Indemnity as stated in Section 14 of this Agreement. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the liabilities of Contractor under this Agreement shall survive and not be terminated, reduced or
otherwise limited by any expiration or termination of insurance coverages. Neither approval nor failure to disapprove insurance furnished by Contractor shall relieve Contractor from responsibility to provide insurance as required by this Agreement.
No policy shall contain an exclusion that it would not respond to cover losses for damages to any Owner pre-existing property. All policies of insurance required in Section 15.2 and Section 15.3 above shall be endorsed or
shall otherwise provide that Contractor’s insurance shall be primary with respect to Contractor’s acts or omissions and not be in excess of, or contributing with, any insurance maintained by Owner (other than any Builders Risk as provided
in this Agreement). Owner and its successors and assigns shall be named as additional insureds for their imputed liability as a result of Contractor’s negligent operations hereunder, using ISO additional insured (CG 20 10) or equivalent, under
all policies of liability insurance to be maintained by Contractor (except Worker’s Compensation Insurance and Professional Liability). The liability policies of insurance shall be endorsed or shall otherwise include a severability of interest.
The policies set forth in this Article shall each contain a provision that coverages afforded under the policies will not be cancelled, renewed or materially modified [*] via certified United States mail has been given to Contractor and Owner
or to any other entities as herein or hereinafter required, at the address so provided to the insurance company. All insurance required by this Article shall be provided by companies reasonably acceptable to Owner and that have (and shall maintain
during the applicable policy period) an AM Best Rating of A- VII or higher. Certificates shall be provided to Owner on industry standard ACORD or Owner approved form showing such coverage in full force and effect shall be delivered to Owner
[*] of the Effective Date, [*] of each policy renewal or change and from time to time thereafter, as may be requested by Owner. All policies shall include waivers of any right of subrogation of the insurers there under against Owner
and its successors and assigns using standard ISO forms or equivalent. The existence of any self-insured retentions (SIRS) over which the required policies apply must be disclosed to and approved by Owner, such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Contractor shall provide copies of CCIP placement and renewal policies and all endorsements to the Owner not later than [*] following placement or renewal. 
 (b) Contractor shall comply with the conditions stipulated in each of the insurance policies. None of the insurance coverage required hereunder shall be
on “claims-made” forms, except Professional Liability. Coverage amounts must be fully available to any obligations under this Agreement (not eroded by any other project or agreement) and apply on an annual basis. CCIP provisions for
excluding Subcontractors must be disclosed and approved by Owner in writing prior to CCIP effective date.

 (c) If any of the Project specific insurance required under this Article shall be directly or indirectly
depleted by [*] or more (whether due to payment of insurance proceeds, creation of a reserve or otherwise) prior to Combined Cycle Final Completion, Contractor shall obtain from the insurer a reinstatement option, if commercially
available at a cost comparable to the original policy cost, to each such policy at least equal to the depleted amount. [*] shall bear the cost of such option (including the cost associated with the reinstatement). Contractor shall cause such
insurer to send to Owner a notice of such reinstatement and a copy of the reinstated policy related thereto upon Owner exercising and payment for the reinstatement. 
 (d) The insurance policies required by this Article shall allow for occupancy and utilization of the Facility, the Equipment and the Site by Owner, its Affiliates and any person reasonably permitted access thereto by
Owner. 
 (e) During the time any Subcontractor is engaged to perform any Service under this Agreement, Contractor shall obtain a certificate
of insurance from such Subcontractor evidencing that such Subcontractor has obtained, and will maintain and keep in full force and effect (required only for off-Site Work [*] otherwise for all Work performed by any Subcontractor),
Worker’s Compensation in statutory amounts, Employer’s Liability, Commercial General Liability, Automobile Insurance and all other policies reasonably necessary to perform such Service with adequate coverages and in such amounts in
accordance with Contractor’s normal practices and consistent with Good Industry Practices, and provide Owner with evidence acceptable to Owner of such coverage, or Contractor shall maintain such coverage under its own insurance policies
[*]. Contractor shall ensure that all Subcontractors obtain and maintain prudent insurance coverages. All Subcontractor coverages shall waive subrogation rights against Owner and Contractor. All Subcontractor coverages shall name Owner and
Contractor as additional insureds (except Workers Compensation and Professional Liability). 
 (f) Any certificates of renewal with respect
to any insurance policy required to be maintained by Contractor hereunder shall be delivered to Owner promptly after renewal. Contractor shall insure that the insurer shall submit a copy of all receipts for premiums paid to Contractor promptly after
payment of such premiums. Contractor shall be solely responsible for the timely payment in full of premiums for all insurance required of it hereunder. Should Contractor fail to provide or maintain any insurance required hereunder, Owner shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to provide or maintain any such insurance, and to deduct the cost thereof from any amounts due and payable to Contractor, or, in the event there are no such amounts due and payable, Contractor shall reimburse Owner
for such costs on demand. Contractor shall not unreasonably refuse to cooperate or to take any actions requested or necessary to prosecute any claims under any insurance policy required to be maintained by Contractor hereunder. 
 (g) With respect to ocean marine shipments, Contractor shall obtain at [*] prior to any such shipment, cargo insurance covering “all
risks” of loss or damage to property shipped, components of property shipped, or items contained in or shipped in or with the property shipped. This coverage is to be written on a replacement cost basis and in the full insurable value of these
items, including packing and freight charges plus duties and fees. The coverage required by this paragraph shall continue in effect until appropriate coverage commences at the Site.

ceramic furnished or delivered to or installed at the Site by Contractor or any Subcontractor. 
 21.9 Pre-Existing Hazardous Material. Owner shall
indemnify Contractor and its Subcontractors from any liability in connection with any pre-existing Hazardous Material, except to the extent such liability was caused by the Gross Negligence or willful misconduct or wanton acts or omissions of

Monthly Payment Invoice covering such Equipment or constituent part of such Equipment, notwithstanding any disputed amounts withheld or offset by Owner against any payment sought by Contractor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The
passage of title to Owner shall not be deemed an acceptance or approval of such Equipment (or any Service), affect the allocation of risk of loss, affect any security interest in favor of Owner therein or otherwise relieve Contractor of any
obligation under this Agreement to provide and pay for transportation and storage in connection with the Equipment. Further, upon the passage of title, the Equipment, the constituent parts thereof and the unused spare parts shall be specifically
excluded from the bankruptcy estate of Contractor in the event of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving Contractor.

 26.3 Owner’s Right to Audit. For verification of [*] claimed by Contractor [*] or for
any Work performed or provided on a time and material basis or for any suspended, terminated, delayed or accelerated Services, Owner or a third party auditor selected by Owner and reasonably acceptable to Contractor (which acceptance shall not be

such costs. As part of any such audit, Contractor shall provide data in the appropriate electronic native file format (i.e. Microsoft Word, Excel, Primavera, etc.) such that the data may be effectively sorted, summed, and evaluated
However, Owner or Owner’s representative shall have no right to audit records or books concerning the make-up of any agreed upon lump sum amounts or fixed rates or multipliers. If any audit by the auditor reveals charges or costs charged to or
paid by Owner as costs or fees which are not proper or exceed the rates or amounts permitted hereunder for any such matters, then Owner shall be entitled upon demand for a refund from Contractor of all such amounts, plus interest thereon from the
date of payment by Owner until the date of refund by Contractor at a rate of the lesser of (a) the Prime Interest Rate plus 1% or (b) the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. Likewise, if any audit or if any examination by any state or
local taxing agency reveals additional Sales Tax to be imposed upon Contractor for under collection of tax from Owner on a taxable sale to Owner, then Contractor shall be entitled, upon demand, for a refund from Owner of all such amounts, plus
interest at the foregoing rate. 
 26.4 Sales Tax and Privilege Tax Records. Contractor shall provide to Owner all information and data Owner may from
time to time reasonably request and otherwise fully cooperate with Owner in connection with the reporting of (a) any Sales Taxes and Privilege Taxes payable with respect to the Work and (b) any assessment, refund claim or proceeding

 27.3 Sales and Use Tax on Equipment; Privilege Tax. Notwithstanding the above, the [*] does not include monies for the payment of any sales and use taxes
on Equipment incorporated into the Facility. Contractor, on behalf of itself and all of its Subcontractors (including manufacturers), is therefore responsible for consulting with Owner on Equipment purchases and working with Owner to obtain the best
sales and use tax and privilege tax benefits for Owner. Owner is currently authorized under the North Carolina General Statutes to purchase certain Equipment exempt from the sales and use tax, but subject to the privilege tax at a rate of 1% with a
maximum tax of eighty dollars ($80) per article. Owner will specifically identify property which will be subject to the privilege tax. Owner will issue Form E-595E to Contractor to support the exemption from the sales and use tax. Contractor shall
register with the state of North Carolina for payment of the privilege tax. Contractor will issue Form E-595E to its suppliers to facilitate exempt purchases of property subject to the privilege tax. As required by law, Contractor will accrue the
privilege tax on these purchases and remit the appropriate amount to the state. Sales tax should be billed by the supplier on Contractor’s purchases of property subject to the North Carolina sales tax. Owner shall reimburse Contractor
[*], for Contractor’s actual costs incurred in paying any sales and use tax for which Contractor may become obligated to pay in connection with the Equipment incorporated into the Facility.

 (a) Contractor, its Subcontractors, manufacturers and suppliers shall make reasonable commercial efforts
to purchase Equipment to minimize the tax, but shall not be restricted from making out-of-state purchases of such Equipment. Contractor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Owner is afforded the best sales/use and privilege
tax treatment by the State. Contractor shall use all reasonable efforts to ensure that all out-of-state purchases made by Contractor and its Subcontractors (including manufacturers) are shipped FOB the Facility (North Carolina) free of Sales Taxes.
Owner shall reimburse Contractor for all sales and use taxes and privilege taxes paid by Contractor and its Subcontractors (including manufacturers) upon written confirmation from Contractor that the items purchased could not reasonably be purchased
free of Sales Taxes. 
 (b) Contractor agrees that it and its Subcontractors, suppliers, and manufacturers will clearly identify on each
original invoice covering the purchase of Equipment, the amount of sales and use tax. Should additional information and detail be required by Owner and the North Carolina Department of Revenue to verify amounts paid for purchases of Equipment under
this Agreement, Contractor and its Subcontractors, suppliers, and manufacturers shall supply such additional information and invoices in sufficient detail to verify: 
 (i) That such Equipment was purchased free of State sales and use taxes; or that for out-of-state purchases, the invoices indicate the
amount of foreign sales and use tax separately stated and paid; 
 (ii) The privilege tax was accrued and remitted to the
North Carolina for such Equipment; 
 (iii) The actual purchase prices of such Equipment;

tax have been paid and that Contractor and all its Subcontractors, suppliers, and manufacturers have no outstanding claims or expenses relating to sales and use tax or privilege tax. 
 (d) Both Parties shall provide to the other any documentation or information requested in order to submit and obtain a refund of any taxes erroneously
paid as part of this Agreement. The Parties agree that any refunds received shall belong to the Party which bore the economic burden of paying the tax. The Parties’ obligations under this Section shall survive termination or expiration of the
Agreement. 
 27.4 State Property Taxes. Contractor and Owner agree that Owner shall be responsible for the filing requirements and payment
obligations for all state and local taxes on the Site and the Equipment incorporated into the Facility; provided, that Contractor shall be responsible for the filing of property tax returns and the payment of state and local property taxes on
construction equipment, 

  

 78 
 Duke:         
 Shaw:        









 
tools and material which is not incorporated into the Facility and which is owned, used or leased by Contractor to perform the Services. Owner and Contractor
acknowledge that construction equipment property tax costs are included in the leasing costs included in the Contract Price. If Contractor owns construction equipment and leases such construction equipment to Owner, Contractor shall remain
responsible for the filing and payment of all property taxes due on such construction equipment. 
 27.5 Tax Indemnification. 
 (a) Except in cases where such tax assessment is the result of the Gross Negligence or willful or wanton misconduct by Contractor, Owner shall defend,
reimburse, indemnify and hold Contractor harmless for all costs and expenses incurred by Contractor as a result of Owner’s formal protest of any sales and use taxes paid or assessed and property taxes paid or assessed on the Site or the
Equipment, or any other similar tax, whether local, state or federal, including any litigation expenses in the event Owner decides to protest a sales or use tax assessment. Owner shall not be responsible for any costs incurred by Contractor
necessary to substantiate or verify information for any tax audit conducted in the normal course of business. 
 (b) Except in the cased of
Gross Negligence or willful or wanton misconduct by Owner, Contractor shall defend, reimburse, indemnify and hold Owner harmless for all costs and expenses incurred by Owner as a result of Contractor’s formal protest of any employment Taxes, or
any sales and use taxes and property taxes paid or assessed on Contractor’s equipment or tools, or of any payroll or employment compensation taxes, or Social Security taxes, or for labor-related withholding taxes, or any other similar tax,
whether local, state or federal for Contractor; its Subcontractors (including manufacturers); or any of their employees, paid or assessed, including any litigation expenses in the event Contractor decides to protest the said employment, withholding,
and similar taxes. 
 27.6 Pollution Control Equipment Information. Contractor shall supply Owner with all reasonable information and cost analyses
requested by Owner for qualifying air, water or noise pollution control equipment for exemption from sales and use taxes, property taxes and any other tax credits, refunds or exemptions available to Owner. Contractor shall supply any further
information as requested by Owner to apply for a certificate from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DNHR) or other appropriate Government Authority to qualify for the above exemptions. 
 28. DISPUTE RESOLUTION 
 28.1 Resolution by the Parties. The
Parties shall attempt to resolve any claims, disputes and other controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement (collectively, “Disputes”) promptly by negotiation and mediation between executives who have authority to
settle the Dispute and who are at a higher level of management than the persons with direct responsibility for administration of this Agreement. 
 28.2
Arbitration Proceedings. 
 (a) Demand for Arbitration. If the Dispute has not been resolved by negotiation within [*]
Days of the disputing Party’s initial notice (or such longer period as the Parties may agree),, the Parties shall fully and finally settle the Dispute by binding arbitration. All arbitration proceedings shall take place in Charlotte, North
Carolina under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA Construction Industry Arbitration 
 [*] Redacted type.

 Duke:         
 Shaw:        









 
Rules then in effect (the “Rules”), and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16. For all Disputes where
the amount in controversy is less than $[*], the arbitration proceedings shall be conducted by a [*] selected in accordance with the Rules. For all Disputes where the amount in controversy is at least $[*] the arbitration
proceedings shall be conducted by a [*] selected in accordance with the Rules. No demand for arbitration shall be made or permitted after the date when the institution of a civil action based on the Dispute would be barred by the applicable
statute of limitations or repose of the State. 
 (b) Equitable Remedies. The procedures specified in this Article shall be the sole
and exclusive procedures for the resolution of Disputes between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement; provided, however, that a Party may file a complaint in a court of competent jurisdiction on issues of statute of
limitations or repose or to seek injunctive relief, specific performance, sequestration, garnishment, attachment, or an appointment of a receiver. Preservation of these remedies does not limit the power of the arbitrator(s) to grant similar
remedies, and despite such actions, the Parties will continue to participate in good faith in and be bound by the dispute resolution procedures specified in this Article. 
 (c) Award; Binding Nature. The arbitrator(s)’ decision shall be by majority vote and shall be issued in a writing and shall be final and binding upon the Parties, and judgment may be entered on the award
in any court of competent jurisdiction. The cost of all arbitrators shall be borne equally by the Parties. 
 (d) Discovery. Either
Party may apply to the arbitrators for the privilege of conducting discovery. The right to conduct discovery shall be granted by the arbitrators in their sole discretion with a view to avoiding surprise and providing reasonable access to necessary

	1.0	INTRODUCTION 

  

	1.1	OBJECTIVE 

 This Exhibit establishes conditions, parameters and methods for
Performance Testing of Buck Combined Cycle and Simple Cycle Net Output, Heat Rate and Emission guarantees established by the Agreement, corrected to the Base Performance Conditions identified in Section 7 of this Exhibit. 
 Buck Simple Cycle Net Output and Net Heat Rate will be tested, calculated and corrected prior to Simple Cycle Substantial Completion. 
 Buck Combined Cycle Net Output will be tested, calculated and corrected based on the fully duct-fired case steam flow. Net Heat Rate will be tested, calculated and
corrected based on the no duct firing condition with two combustion turbines at full load. 
 Additionally, Performance Verification of the Combustion
Turbines, Heat Recovery Steam Generators, and Steam Turbine along with major plant equipment and systems is addressed during the Combined Cycle Performance Test. 
 Consumptive guarantees subject to Performance Liquidated Damages shall also be tested in accordance with this Exhibit and measured while simultaneously achieving Guaranteed Emission Limits. 
 Buck Combined Cycle will not exceed Permitted Emissions Limits as identified in Table A-2.1 and measured in accordance with Table A-2.1 during Performance Testing.
Emission Compliance Testing, including CEMS Certification testing, may occur prior to Substantial and Final Completion, with Guaranteed Emission Limits verified during Performance Testing either with the certifiable CEMS (defined in
Section 8.3) or certified temporary test equipment. 
 If tuning or other adjustments that may effect emissions occur after non-CEMS monitored emission
acceptance and prior to Substantial and/or Final Completion, the Owner may require re-testing of emission compliance of non-CEMS monitored parameters to verify that tuning has not violated emission compliance. 
 Guaranteed Emission Limits for Owner Furnished Equipment are Make Right Performance Guarantees as part of the Combustion Turbine and Heat Recovery Steam Generator
contracts. The Contractor is responsible for Make Right Performance Guarantees for the Auxiliary Boiler and any other emission sources procured by the Contractor. 
  

	1.2	PERFORMANCE TEST PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY 

 Table A-2 summarizes the Performance
Testing and Equipment Verification Program. The purpose of the Performance Test and Equipment Verification Program is fivefold:

 Performance Test and Guarantees

	  	  

  


	1.2.1	ASME Code Testing 

  

	 	a.	Performance Testing - Confirm that Net Output and Net Heat Rate guarantees contained in the Agreement are met, using ASME Performance Test Codes listed in Table A-2. If these
values are not met, to establish the shortfall value for application of remedies or damages addressed in the Agreement with the Contractor. 

  

	 	b.	Combustion Turbine, Heat Recovery Steam Generator, and Steam Turbine Testing - Confirm the performance guarantees of Owner Equipment are met, using Performance Test Codes
listed in Table A-2. If these values are not met, to establish the shortfall value. These may be run concurrently with the plant Performance Test, where appropriate. 

  

	1.2.2 	Non Code Testing 

  

	 	a.	Major Equipment Verification - Report the performance of major equipment, using data collected during plant Performance Testing using permanently installed plant
instrumentation and/or instrument installed for the plant Performance Test. If performance guarantees are not met for Plant Net Output or Plant Net Heat Rate, then individual Equipment Verification Testing will be conducted as described in section
8.1 to establish an estimate of the shortfall value, for possible Code Testing. If performance guarantees are met for Plant Net Output and Plant Net Heat Rate, Equipment Verification Test reports shall be reported to Duke Energy. If Duke Energy
determines that additional testing, including Code Testing, may provide efficiency and capacity benefits, Duke Energy may employ Contractor for additional analysis and testing beyond the scope of the Target Price. 

  

	 	b.	Plant Baseline Data - Establish the overall plant Baseline Performance Data for key operating parameters based on a combination of data taken during the plant Performance
Test, Combustion Turbine, Heat Recovery Steam Generator and Steam Turbine Performance Test and DCS collected data. 

  

	 	c.	Emissions Compliance Test - Perform emission compliance test in accordance with Buck Combined Cycle Air Permit and referenced regulatory requirements.


  

	1.3	AGREEMENT AUTHORITY 

 The Agreement contains specific information
concerning guarantees, results, re-testing, schedule, remedies, liquidated damages and warranties, and is not addressed in this Performance Testing Exhibit. 
  

	1.4	PERFORMANCE OF OWNER EQUIPMENT 

 The Contractor’s Net Output and Net
Heat Rate Performance Guarantees are based on the guaranteed performance of the Owner Equipment. Plant performance test results shall be corrected for Owner Equipment performance shortfalls that are not attributable to Contractor responsibility. It
will be the

Contractor’s responsibility to test, document and verify any such claimed performance shortfall. 
 During LNTP, Duke Energy and Contractor will adjust the Performance Guarantee values for Net Heat Rate and Capacity. 
 The Guaranteed Net Heat Rate will be determined by the following methodology: 
 GNHR = NG/((2 x GT Output) + ST Output – Aux – HRSG Aux - GSUL) 
 Where: 
 NG = Natural Gas Consumed (btu/hr HHV) in Combustion Turbines based on General Electric guarantee condition corrected to Base Performance Conditions.

 GT Output = Net Output (kw) of Combustion Turbine based on General Electric guarantee corrected to Base Performance Conditions. 

ST Output = Net Output (kw) of Steam Turbine based on General Electric predicted performance corrected to Base Performance Conditions, corresponding to
the HRSG unfired guarantee. 
 Aux = Power consumption (kw) of Contractor supplied balance of plant equipment determined during LNTP phase.

 HRSG Aux = Power consumption (kW) of HRSG vendor supplied equipment. 
 GSUL – Losses across generator step-up transformers and auxiliary power use by generator step-up transformers. 
 The Guaranteed Plant Capacity will be determined by the following methodology: 
 Capacity = (2 x GT Output) + ST Output – Aux – HRSG Aux - GSUL 
 Where: 
 GT Output = Net Output (kw) of Combustion Turbine based on General Electric guarantee corrected to Base Performance Conditions. 
 ST Output = Net Output (kw) of Steam Turbine based on General Electric guaranteed performance corrected to Base Performance Conditions, corresponding to
the HRSG fully duct fired guarantees. 
 Aux = Power consumption (kw) of Contractor supplied balance of plant equipment determined during LNTP
phase. 
 HRSG Aux = Power consumption (kw) of HRSG vendor supplied equipment.

 METRO INDIANAPOLIS COALITION FOR CONSTRUCTION SAFETY (MICCS) 
 Substance Abuse Program 
 Part 1. Introduction 

  

	1.1	Purpose 

 The use of alcohol and other drugs leads to unsafe working
conditions for workers, since the impaired worker is a potential hazard to himself and to those working with him. 
 The purpose of this document is to
outline a substance abuse program which establishes and maintains a safe and healthy work environment, free from drugs and alcohol, in Central Indiana. Although this document provides essential information, it cannot address all situations that may
arise. 
 Therefore, it is recommended that MICCS owners implement, publish, maintain, and enforce a contractor substance abuse policy which includes
prohibiting the unlawful use, possession, consumption, manufacture, distribution, and sale of controlled substances in the work place that meets or exceeds the guidelines presented in this document. All bid and contract documents should contain and
adhere to the same stringent guidelines. 
  

	1.2	Benefits 

 MICCS has developed this program to provide the following
benefits to the local construction industry: 
  

	 	•	 	 Minimize the duplication of effort created by multiple substance abuse programs that would be necessary were it not for this industry-wide program.



  

	 	•	 	 Establish minimum standards for substance abuse programs for contractors and building trade unions. 


  

	 	•	 	 Assist owners and contractors in developing substance abuse policies that result in increased safety for all on-site workers. 


  

	1.3	MICCS ID Card and Database Protocol 

  

	 	•	 	 Test results from all MICCS required testing will be entered into the MICCS database. The employee’s annual test date is automatically updated with any
negative drug result entry. 


  

	 	•	 	 A MICCS ID Card will be issued to employees with a negative test result. 


  

	 	•	 	 A new card will not be issued each time a test is taken. A new card will be issued as needed to update an employee’s photo and/or replace a worn unreadable
card. 


  

	 	•	 	 A MICCS ID Card displays the employee’s photo, name, and a computer generated identification number. A card cannot be issued without a photo.



  

	 	•	 	 The MICCS ID Card is the property of MICCS. Employers are to return invalid cards to MICCS.

 METRO INDIANAPOLIS COALITION FOR CONSTRUCTION SAFETY (MICCS) 
 Substance Abuse Program 
 Part 4. Tests: Procedures
and Supporting Information 
  

	4.1	Reasons for Testing 

 Contractors are required to send all drug test
results, regardless of the reason for testing, to MICCS to be entered in the MICCS database. 
 The types of testing, associated information, guidelines, and
time constraints, if applicable, as required by MICCS are shown below in alphabetical order. 
  

	4.1.1	Annual/Pre-employment Test 

  

	 	•	 	 Each onsite employee is to participate in annual testing, or provide documentation of having been tested within the past 12 months. 


  

	 	•	 	 The latest test date will become the employee’s new annual test date for participation in the MICCS program. 


  

	 	•	 	 An employer is prohibited from giving any more than 14 days notice of testing to an employee. 


  

	 	•	 	 Employers are responsible for notifying employees when their annual test is due. 


  

	4.1.2	Follow-up Test 

  

	 	•	 	 Follow-up testing is required after an employee has taken a return to duty test. The number of follow- up tests will be set by the SAP. A minimum of three is
required. 


  

	 	•	 	 The test results must be negative. 


  

	 	•	 	 The employee will be notified by telephone or letter to report for testing the day after receiving notification. 


  

	 	•	 	 If the employee fails to complete follow-up testing, their MICCS ID Card will be marked non- compliant in the MICCS database until the employee reports for the
follow-up test. 


  

	 	•	 	 Even though failure to complete the test may be due to the fact that the employee was laid off or out of the local area (i.e., for vacation), the employee is
responsible to contact the third party administrator as soon as possible upon notification of receipt after the fact. The length of time that was designated by the SAP to complete their follow-up tests will be extended by the length of time they are
non-compliant for not reporting for the test. 


  

	 	•	 	 The employee is responsible for payment. 


  

	4.1.3	Post Accident Test 

  

	 	•	 	 This test is required:

	 	•	 	 Results in damage to property. 


  

	 	•	 	 Including any serious near-miss incident 


  

	 	•	 	 The employee is to proceed directly for testing, or as soon as possible, and before the employee returns to the job site. It is the contractor/subcontractor’s
responsibility to see that testing is done within the time frame described above. 


  

	 	•	 	 The employee shall be tested for both drugs and alcohol. 


  

	4.1.4	Probable Cause/Reasonable Suspicion Test 

  

	 	•	 	 This test is required at the time of observable probable cause circumstances based on objective evidence about the employee’s conduct in the workplace that
would cause a reasonable person to believe that the employee is demonstrating signs of impairment due to alcohol or other drugs. 


  

	 	•	 	 Examples of objective evidence include an employee showing signs of impairment such as, difficulty in maintaining balance, slurred speech, or erratic behavior, etc.

	 	•	 	 Owners shall give notification of testing to the employee before the end of a shift to take the possibility of a 2 hour wait into consideration.



  

	4.1.6	Returning to Duty Test 

  

	 	•	 	 After a positive test result, in order for an employee to return to work, the employee is required to take a return to duty test. 


  

	 	•	 	 The test result must be negative. 


  

	 	•	 	 The employee is responsible for payment. 


  

	4.2	Drug Testing Procedures 

  

	4.2.1	Specimen Collection 

  

	 	•	 	 Specimen collection will be conducted in accordance with 49 CFR Part 40 “Procedures for Transportation Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs”, and
applicable state and federal law. 


  

	 	•	 	 Testing must be performed by a DHHS-approved laboratory. 


  

	 	•	 	 MICCS does not follow the complete regulatory testing requirements of the DOT, only the general guidelines. 


  

	 	•	 	 The MICCS procedures are designed to: 


  

	 	•	 	 ensure the security and integrity of the specimen according to accepted federal DOT chain-of-custody guidelines. 


  

	 	•	 	 make every reasonable effort to maintain the dignity of anyone submitting a specimen for this program. 


  

	 	•	 	 If an employee is unable to provide a specimen at the time of testing, the employee could be required to wait up to two hours without leaving the test facility.
Failure to remain and complete the test is the same as a refusal to test with the same sanctions as a positive test result. Make sure that notification of random testing is given in ample time before the end of a shift. 



 

	 	•	 	 Types of specimens: 


  

	 	•	 	 The employee will provide a urine specimen for the drug test. 


  

	 	•	 	 In the event that an employee is physically unable to produce a proper urine sample, a test may be done by a different method, such as hair, saliva, etc., and must
be approved by the third party administrator or the MICCS substance abuse committee. The employee must present written documentation (see Appendix C) from a medical doctor that supports his inability to provide a urine specimen to the MRO. The
employee or company must contact the third party administrator for instructions on how to test using an alternate method. 


  

	 	•	 	 A photo ID must be presented at the time of collection to verify the employee’s identity. 


  

	 	•	 	 The employee will be asked to empty all pockets and display the contents to the collector. 


  

	 	•	 	 The employee will have up to two hours to provide a specimen. If the employee leaves before the two hours having not provided a specimen, this test will be
processed the same as a refusal to test. 


  

	 	•	 	 The employee will be afforded privacy to provide the specimen unless 


  

	 	•	 	 The collector observes evidence of an employee’s attempt to tamper with a specimen, or 


  

	 	•	 	 The temperature range of the original specimen was out of normal range, or

	 	•	 	 It appears that the specimen was tampered with, or 


  

	 	•	 	 The specimen was determined invalid by the laboratory 


  

	 	•	 	 Upon completion of testing the employee will be given a copy of the Custody and Control Form (CCF). 


  

	4.2.2	Laboratory Testing Procedures 

 All substance analysis will be done
in SAMHSA laboratories certified by DHHS. Laboratory procedures will include: 
  

	 	•	 	 Initial screen on each specimen. In the event that the initial test is positive a confirmation test will automatically be performed using the GCMS method. A test is
considered positive if the detected level of the drug is at or above the cutoff level shown in Appendix A. MICCS recommends that no adverse action or discipline be taken against any worker or applicant for employment on the basis of any positive
test that has not been confirmed. 


  

	 	•	 	 Validity testing is required for each specimen. Each specimen is measured for creatinine level, specific gravity, and pH to determine if any of the following
occurred: 


  

	 	•	 	 Adulterants or foreign substance were added to the urine, 


  

	 	•	 	 The specimen was substituted, or 


  

	 	•	 	 The urine was diluted. 


  

	 	•	 	 The laboratory will report all results to the MRO. The MRO will make a final determination of the verified results. The results will be reported to the designated
employee representative. 


  

	4.2.3	MRO Procedures 

 All drug testing shall come under the control and
supervision of a physician with confidentiality protected in accordance with state law and the “AMA Code of Ethical Conduct for Physicians Providing Occupational Medical Services” or the Medical Review Officer Manual developed by the
National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). All testing results shall be verified by an MRO. 
 The MRO provides a medical review on all test results issued by
the laboratory as follows: 
  

	 	•	 	 If the laboratory result is negative, the review is completed and a negative result is mailed. 


  

	 	•	 	 If the laboratory result is positive, adulterated, substituted, or invalid, the MRO will: 


  

	 	•	 	 Make one attempt to contact the donor by telephone to inform him of the results and complete an interview to determine whether a legitimate medical explanation
exists for the result reported by the laboratory. 


  

	 	•	 	 If the MRO left a message, but did not talk to the employee by 10:00 AM of the following workday, the MRO will call the employer to report the results. In any case,
the employee always has the opportunity to discuss the test results with the MRO. 


  

	 	•	 	 If the laboratory reports an invalid result to the MRO, the MRO will contact the employee and ask if the employee may have taken any medication that may interfere
with some immunoassay tests. 


  

	 	•	 	 If the employee provides an acceptable explanation, the test will be canceled and no further testing will be required unless a negative result is required to obtain
a valid MICCS ID Card. 


  

	 	•	 	 If the employee is unable to provide an acceptable explanation and denies having adulterated the specimen, the test will be canceled, and a second collection must
take place immediately under direct observation 


  

	4.2.4	Specimen Retest Protocol 

  

	 	•	 	 When the MRO has informed the employee of a verified “positive drug test” or “refusal to test” because of adulteration or substitution, the
employee/worker has 72 hours from the time of notification to request a retest of the specimen at a different SAMHSA laboratory. 


  

	 	•	 	 The employee may make the request verbally or in writing and make arrangements for payment with the MRO service, as the cost of the test is the responsibility of
the employee. 


  

	 	•	 	 If the result of the retest is different from the original result, the test will be cancelled, and a recollection will be needed.

	4.3	Alcohol Testing Procedures 

 Alcohol testing is required for
probable cause, post accident/incident, and for immediate random testing situations. 
 Tests for alcohol shall be performed using the breath or blood to
determine a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC). If possible, a breathalyzer type instrument conforming to DOT standards should be used. If not available, then a blood sample may be used. If blood testing is necessary, the contractor/owner is responsible to
provide a documented reason as to the reasons why a breath test could not be performed (see Appendix D). 
 Failure to provide a sufficient breath sample to
complete a breath test or refusing to provide a blood sample will be considered a “refusal to test” and have the same consequences as a positive test. 
 All alcohol test results with a confirmed BAC test level of .04 or higher will be considered positive and will require the employee to be removed from the owner’s property immediately. This result will also invalidate the
employee’s MICCS ID Card. 
 In order for the employee to become eligible for a MICCS ID Card again, the employee will have to complete the required
program of rehabilitation outlined in this document. 
 All alcohol test results with a confirmed BAC test level of .020 through .039 will require the
employee to be removed from the owner’s property for 24 hours or until the employee’s next scheduled work time, whichever is longer. 
 Any initial
test that indicates a BAC level of .02 or greater must be confirmed by an Evidential Breath Testing Device (EBT) operated by the Breath Alcohol Technician (BAT). The confirmation test will be performed no sooner than 15 minutes and no later than 30
minutes following the completion of the initial test in accordance with current DOT guidelines. 
  

	4.4	Test results 

  

	4.4.1	Adulterated Test 

  

	 	•	 	 If a test was tampered with by the substitution or addition of other ingredients, the test result will be processed the same as a positive test result.



  

	 	•	 	 When a recollection is required, i.e., due to adulteration or temperature, etc., the recollection will be observed according to DOT procedures.



  

	4.4.2	Diluted Test 

  

	 	•	 	 A test result that produces a diluted specimen requires a retest. Refer to Appendix B for detailed instructions on how to process a diluted specimen. If the retest
also produces a diluted specimen, it will carry the same consequences as a positive test result unless a valid medical reason exists. 


  

	4.4.3	Negative Test Result 

  

	 	•	 	 A drug result is considered negative if: 


  

	 	•	 	 the laboratory finds no drug metabolite levels over the confirmed cutoff values, or 


  

	 	•	 	 the screen test and confirmation test indicated the presence of a legal or illegal substance(s) in excess of the limits but the donor (employee) had a valid medical
reason for the substance being detected in the specimen. 


  

	 	•	 	 An alcohol result is considered negative if the BAC is below 0.02. 


  

	 	•	 	 The employee’s MICCS ID Card will be updated in the MICCS database.

 4.4.4 Positive Alcohol
Test 
 A positive alcohol test occurs if the breathalyzer test, or its equivalent test, indicates the presence of alcohol that meets or exceeds the
cut-off limits of the DOT and the Commercial Drivers License (CDL) as shown in this document. 
 4.4.5 Positive Drug Test Result 
  

	 	•	 	 A result is considered positive if the presence of the drug meets or exceeds both the screening and confirmation levels listed in Appendix A.



  

	 	•	 	 The test must be verified by the MRO. 


  

	 	•	 	 The MRO must determine that the test results are not from the use of prescription or over the counter medications, food, or any reason other than the illegal use of
unlawful substances or controlled substances. 


 4.4.6 Refusal to Test 
 Refusal to submit to a test will carry the same consequences as a positive test. 
 A refusal to test occurs if an employee:

  

	 	•	 	 Adulterated, substituted, or refused to provide a urine specimen 


  

	 	•	 	 Failed to appear for testing within a reasonable period of time 


  

	 	•	 	 Failed to remain at the testing site until the testing process was completed 


  

	 	•	 	 Failed to provide a sufficient amount of urine within 2 hours without a medical reason and/or failed to undergo an MRO directed medical evaluation for such a reason



  

	 	•	 	 Failed to cooperate with any part of the testing process, which includes the use of abusive/threatening language or behavior 


  

	 	•	 	 Disrupted the testing process 


 4.5 Sanctions and
Consequences for Failing a Test 
 MICCS requires employees, who test positive (including a refusal to test), to surrender their MICCS ID Card. The MICCS
employer is required to refer employees with positive test results to a SAP for evaluation and treatment. 
 The MICCS website has a listing of SAP’s
located in the Indianapolis area who support and are knowledgable about the MICCS substance abuse program requirements. 
 The employee must start a program
of rehabilitation prior to returning to a MICCS owner’s site, and must continue and complete the rehabilitation in order to be eligible to work on a MICCS site. The rehabilitation must include the following steps: 
  

	 	1.	The employee must arrange for an evaluation with a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP). 

  


	 	2.	The SAP evaluation must specify that the employee: 

  

	 	•	 	 Must attend education classes and/or treatment. 


  

	 	•	 	 Must perform the actions recommended by the SAP or assigned rehabilitation specialists. 


  

	 	•	 	 Is subject to random follow-up testing not less than 3 times within the next 12 month from the employee’s return to work test. In cases where the employee was
unable to complete the follow-up test due to being laid off or out of town, etc., the length of time that was designated by the SAP to complete their follow-up test will be extended by the length of time the employee was not available for testing.



  

	 	•	 	 Will not be allowed to take another MICCS drug test for at least 14 days from the date of the first positive test. 


  

	 	3.	The employee is required to submit a letter from the SAP to MICCS concerning their fitness for return to work including that the employee is eligible for a return to duty test.


  

	 	4.	The employee must take a return to duty test with negative results. These results must be submitted to MICCS for MICCS database entry.

	 	5.	The employee must actively complete any ongoing rehabilitation and follow-up testing required by the SAP to keep the MICCS ID Card valid. 

  

	 	6.	Arrangements for all costs are the responsibility of the employee. 

  

	 	7.	If an employee tests positive 3 times within a 12 month period, the employee will not be eligible to retest or obtain an MICCS ID Card for a period of one year and will not be
permitted to work on MICCS owner property during that period. 

  

	 	8.	Failure to comply with any of the above sanctions shall result in the employee surrendering their MICCS ID Card. The status of the employee’s card will be changed to “not
available” in the MICCS database. 

  

	 	9.	The result of a person using a counterfeit drug card will be the same as a positive drug test.

 Part 7.
Contractor/employer responsibilities 
 Contractor’s employees working on or visiting a participating owner’s job site, including workers, new
hires, replacements, and supervisory personnel, are subject to annual testing, testing for probable cause/reasonable suspicion, post-accident/incident testing, random testing and return to duty/follow up testing as a condition of contract between
the contractor and the owner. 
 The contractor shall comply with owner requirements, when the owner requirements are more stringent than the
contractor’s. 
 The contractor should provide training to employees, including new hires, to help them understand the contractor’s substance abuse
testing policy, the effects of substance abuse on personal health and the work environment. Recognizing the behaviors common to substance abuse and the procedures for conducting substance abuse testing should also be included as a part of this
training for supervisor personnel who could be required to initiate a reasonable suspicion/probable cause test. 
 Contractors are required to maintain a
record keeping system that would allow an owner or another contractor with whom the contractor has entered into agreement, to effectively conduct a compliance audit. 
 To protect everyone’s legal interest contractors should obtain a written consent from each employee that allows the release of otherwise confidential testing information to an owner.

 Substance Abuse Program 
 APPENDIX A: Testing Panel

 Drugs of abuse are tested in a routine SAMHSA 5-panel screen. 
 The MICCS Substance Abuse Program uses the drug screen components and cut-off levels listed below. In addition to these levels and substances, the creatinine level and specific gravity of the specimen will be measured. 
 If the creatinine level is less than 20 ml/dl and the specific gravity is less than 1.003, the sample will be considered dilute and another collection will be required.
The second sample will be collected the morning after notification of a diluted specimen. 
 Adulterated specimens will be processed the same as a positive
test. 
 The minimum requirement for a positive test result for alcohol will be a BAC of 0.04% w/vol., a level consistent with the DOT and CDL guidelines.

 New drugs, preliminary cut off and confirmation levels may be modified periodically in order to parallel the DOT and CDL guidelines. 
 The MICCS Substance Abuse Program does not follow the complete regulatory testing requirements of the DOT, only the general guidelines.

 APPENDIX B: Diluted
Specimen Processing 
 Instructions for Diluted Specimen Retest 
 A diluted specimen result requires a retest. If this is a second diluted result without a medical reason, it will be processed the same as a positive test result. 
 The MICCS database manager will report the dilute result to the employer’s representative. The employer must provide specific instructions on fluid intake (see
below) to the employee prior to retesting to prevent another diluted specimen. 
 The collection for another test must be done the morning after the employee
has been notified. The employee may provide reasons for not being able to test which can be approved by the database manager. The database manager may reject the explanation. If the employee disputes the decision of the database manager, the
employee can contact the MICCS office to submit a plea to the Substance Abuse Committee to consider further. 
 Employee Instruction Prior to Retesting

 Here are instructions for the employee to be followed prior to retesting: 
  

	 	•	 	 Consume no fluids after 9:00 PM the night before the test. 


  

	 	•	 	 Limit fluid intake to a minimum the day of the test. 


  

	 	•	 	 The supervisor will inform the employee of the test time and location. 


  

	 	•	 	 It is the employee’s responsibility to monitor intake of fluids to prevent another dilute specimen. 


 If the employee has a medical condition that will cause a dilute specimen, the employee’s physician must provide medical information in writing to the MRO for
evaluation. After reviewing the submitted information, the MRO will issue a final report to the employer.

 Substance Abuse Program 
 APPENDIX C: Evaluation
Form for Inability to Provide an Adequate Urine Specimen 
 Purpose of Form: This physician referral form is to be used for an individual
who was unable to provide a sufficient urine specimen within the time allowance stated in the MICCS Substance Abuse Policy. The MICCS policy states that a “refusal to test” will be issued if an individual is required to take a MICCS drug
test and is unable to provide a sufficient specimen within the required time, unless the individual can provide a valid medical explanation. This form provides information to the employee, employer and the evaluation physician on the steps to be
followed for the evaluation. This form should be filled out and given to the physician who will be doing the medical evaluation. 
 The MICCS substance abuse
program will follow the same general protocol used by DOT for handling these types of evaluation. The specific DOT protocol taken from 49 CFR Part 40.193 is summarized below and will be used as a guide for MICCS evaluations. 
 Background Information from 49 CFR Part 40.193: 
 When the
collector informs the designated employee representative that an employee has not provided a sufficient amount of urine, they must, after consulting with the MRO (Medical Review Officer), direct the employee to obtain, within five working days, an
evaluation from a licensed physician, acceptable to the MRO, who has expertise in the medical issues raised by the employee’s failure to provide a sufficient specimen. 
 The referral physician must recommend that the MRO make one of the following determinations: 
  

	 	(1)	A medical condition has, or with a high degree of probability, could have, precluded the employee from providing an adequate amount of urine. 

  

	 	(2)	There is not an adequate basis for determining that a medical condition has, or with a high degree of probability, could have, precluded the employee from providing an adequate
amount of urine. (For the purposes of this paragraph, a medical condition includes an ascertainable physiological condition (e.g., a urinary system dysfunction) or a documented pre-existing psychological disorder, but does not include unsupported
assertions of “situational anxiety” or dehydration.) 

 After the referral physician completes the evaluation, they must provide a
written statement of their recommendations and the basis for them to the MRO. Do not include in this statement detailed information on the employee’s medical condition beyond what is necessary to explain your conclusion. 
 Employee/Employer information: 
  

	 	1.	Employee must have an evaluation done by a physician as soon as possible. The employee must present this form to the evaluating physician The evaluation should be done within five
working days or else the MRO will be required to issue a refusal to test. Time extensions beyond the five working days must be approved by the MRO. 

  

	 	2.	Employee should sign this consent allowing the physician to release their findings to you and the MRO. 

  

	 	3.	Failure to provide an acceptable statement from a physician will result in a refusal to test, which carries the same consequences as a positive test result.

 I have determined, in my reasonable medical judgment, that: 
  

	    	1. the employee does have a medical condition* that has, or with a high degree of probability, could have, precluded the employee from providing an adequate amount of urine.


  

	    	2. there is not an adequate basis for determining that a medical condition* that has, or with a high degree of probability, could have, precluded the employee from providing
an adequate amount of urine. 

  

	*	For purposes of this paragraph, a medical condition includes an ascertainable physiological condition (e.g., a urinary system dysfunction) or a documented pre-existing psychological
disorder, but does not include unsupported assertions of “situational anxiety” or dehydration.

 Substance Abuse Program 
 APPENDIX D: Documentation
When a Breath Test Cannot Be Conducted 
 MICCS requires a breath alcohol test for qualifying post-accident situations and reasonable suspicion. MICCS has
patterned their alcohol testing requirements after the regulatory testing requirements of DOT (Department of Transportation). DOT does not allow the use of blood for alcohol tests except in a few rare circumstances. The FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration) division of DOT does allow employers to accept the results of breath or blood tests conducted by Federal, State, or local officials having independent authority in post-accident situations as long as the results of the tests
can be obtained by the employer. 
 The MICCS program’s policy will allow alcohol testing done by breath or blood. However, breath testing is the
preferred method. Blood testing is only authorized when a breath test is impossible to obtain. The employer is responsible to provide a documented reason to the third party administrator as to why this alternative method (blood testing) was used.
The form below can be used for such documentation and should be forwarded to the third party administrator.

 METRO INDIANAPOLIS COALITION FOR CONSTRUCTION SAFETY (MICCS) 
 Substance Abuse Program 
 APPENDIX E: Guidelines for
Post-accident Testing 
 MICCS policy requirement for Post-Accident Testing: 
 A substance abuse drug and alcohol test of an onsite contractor employee is required when they are involved in any accident/incident or event, caused by
them either directly or indirectly, that results in treatment by a health care provider, or that results in damage to property, including any serious near-miss incident. The employee should proceed directly for testing or as soon as possible.

 Recommended Steps for Post-Accident Testing: 
  

	1.	Contractors are responsible to insure that a drug and alcohol test is completed for any accident or incident as defined above. 

  

	2.	Needed medical treatment will take precedence over completing a drug and alcohol test. However, a drug and alcohol test should be done as soon as possible. The alcohol test should
be administered within 2-hours of the accident/incident. If there is a delay of more than 2-hours, an explanation of why the testing was delayed or couldn’t be completed should be documented. 

  

	3.	The contractor must insure that the facility who will be doing the post-accident test meets the following requirements. 

  

	 	a.	Drug test requirement: 

  

	 	i.	Use of a standard custody and control form 

  

	 	ii.	Testing of specimen by a SAMHSA certified laboratory using the drug panel cut-off level set by MICCS 

  

	 	iii.	Test result reviewed by a certified MRO (Medical Review Officer) 

  

	 	b.	Alcohol Test requirements: 

  

	 	i.	A breath test should always be administered unless breath testing is not an option. 

  

	 	ii	A breath test should be done as soon as possible (within 2 hours). If it can’t be completed within 8 hours, testing should cease and documentation explaining the inability to
complete testing within 8 hours should be forwarded to the third party administrator. 

  

	 	iii	The breath test should be administered by a certified BAT (Breath Alcohol Technician) using a breath testing device that meets the same requirement as DOT. 


 

	 	iv	If breath testing is not available, a blood draw may be used. 

  

	4.	The results of all post-accident tests are required to be reported to the third party database administrator as soon as possible following any post-accident testing so the results
may be entered into the database. 

  

	5.	If any post-accident test result is positive the contractor must immediately remove the employee from the MICCS owner site and follow their company policy’s discipline for
testing positive. Any positive test will render the employee’s MICCS card invalid.
