	Level 2 - Bechtel Confidential
For Authorized Parties Who Require the Information to do Bechtel Work

Exhibit 10.6

without cause, by providing at least thirty (30) Days’ prior written notice to the Contractor. As consideration for the right to terminate the LNTP Work, Owner shall, upon the effective date of termination, pay to Contractor the lump- sum demobilization fee as specified in Exhibit C (“Demobilization Fee”), which shall be deemed to cover all costs and expenditures of Contractor in completely demobilizing Construction Equipment and Contractor Group personnel from the LNTP Site; provided, that, if the LNTP Work terminates before the end of any month, the Demobilization Fee for the period from the beginning of such month to the effective date of termination shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination occurs. The Parties intend the Demobilization Fee to be liquidated damages constituting compensation, and not a penalty. The Parties acknowledge and agree that damages resulting from termination pursuant to this section would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate, and that the Demobilization Fee is a reasonable estimate of the anticipated or actual harm that may arise from such termination. Owner’s payment of the Demobilization Fee is the Contractor’s sole liability and entire obligation and the Contractor’s exclusive remedy for any termination by Owner under this paragraph.

In the event Owner fails to issue the NTP in accordance with Section 5.2B by March 23, 2023 (as may be extended by mutual agreement by the Parties), then Contractor shall have the right to terminate the LNTP Work by providing written notice of termination to Owner, to be effective upon receipt by Owner. In the event of such termination, Contractor shall have the rights (and Owner shall make the Demobilization Fee payment) under the terms and conditions provided for in the foregoing paragraph.

If Owner terminates the Agreement for convenience prior to the issuance of NTP, or if Contractor terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 16.7 of the Agreement, Owner will pay Contractor termination cost in accordance with the amounts identified in Exhibit C.

Contractor shall credit Owner for all amounts paid for the LNTP Work by deducting the amounts actually paid under this LNTP from the EPC Contract Price in accordance with the table attached as Exhibit D to this CO-007.
