 -7- 

 
Effective Date, each such amendment, amendment and restatement, modification, prepayment or refinancing, as the case may be, shall be accompanied by a fee or prepayment premium, as applicable,

Term Loans unless such prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata prepayment of Term B-2 Loans or Term Loans of the Class from which such Extended Term Loans were converted (or such Term Loans of such Class have otherwise been repaid in full);
provided that for the avoidance of doubt the Borrower may prepay Term Loans other than Term B-4 Loans without a pro rata prepayment of the Term B-4 Loans, and may prepay Term Loans of another Class from which Extended Term Loans may be

 “Section 2.17 Extension Offers. 
 (a) Pursuant to one or more offers made from time to time by the Borrower to all Term Lenders holding Term Loans of
a specified Class(es) with notice to the Administrative Agent, on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding Term Loans) and on the same terms (‘Term Pro Rata Extension Offers’), the Borrower is hereby permitted to
consummate transactions with individual Term Lenders from time to time to extend the maturity date of such Lender’s Term Loans and to otherwise modify the terms of such Lender’s Term Loans pursuant to the terms of the
relevant Term Pro Rata Extension Offer (including without limitation increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term
Loans). Pursuant to one or more offers made from time to time

  

 -8- 

 
by the Borrower to all Revolving Credit Lenders with notice to the Administrative Agent, on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments) and on the same
terms (‘Revolving Pro Rata Extension Offers’ and, together with Term Pro Rata Extension Offers, ‘Pro Rata Extension Offers’), the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate transactions with individual Revolving
Credit Lenders from time to time to extend the maturity date of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments and to otherwise modify the terms of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Revolving Pro
Rata Extension Offer (including without limitation increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments). For the avoidance of doubt, the reference to “on the same terms” in the
preceding sentences shall mean, (i) when comparing Term Pro Rata Extension Offers, that the Term Loans are offered to be extended for the same amount of time and that the interest rate changes and fees payable in respect thereto are the same
and (ii) when comparing Revolving Pro Rata Extension Offers, that the Revolving Credit Commitments are offered to be extended for the same amount of time and that the interest rate changes and fees payable in respect thereto are the same. Any
such extension (an ‘Extension’) agreed to between the Borrower and any such Lender (an ‘Extending Lender’) will be established under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an ‘Extension
Amendment’) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Extending Lender and the Administrative Agent (which Extension Amendment, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not require the consent
of any other Lender). 
 (b) Each Extension Amendment shall specify the terms of the applicable extended Term
Loan (any such extended Term Loan, an ‘Extended Term Loan’) and/or extended Revolving Credit Commitment (any such extended Revolving Credit Commitment, an “Extended Revolving Credit Commitment”); provided
that (i) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, subordinated collateral arrangements, if any, and subordinated voluntary and mandatory prepayment arrangements, if any (which shall be determined by the Borrower and
set forth in the Pro Rata Extension Offer), the Extended Term Loans shall have (x) the same terms as the Term B-4 Loans, or (y) such other terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) except as to
interest rates, fees, final maturity, subordinated collateral arrangements, if any, and subordinated voluntary and mandatory prepayment arrangements, if any, any Extended Revolving Credit Commitment shall be a Revolving Credit Commitment with the
same terms as the Revolving Credit Loans; provided, however, that (A) the interest rate margins for any (1) Extended Term Loan, shall not be greater than the highest interest rate margins that may, under any circumstances, be
payable with respect to Term B-4 Loans or any other Extended Term Loans, plus in each case 25 basis points (and the interest rate margins applicable to the Term B-4 Loans or any other Extended Term Loans, as applicable, shall be increased to the
extent necessary to achieve the foregoing) and (2) any Extended Revolving Credit Commitment, shall not be greater than the highest interest rate margins that may, under any circumstances, be payable with respect to any previously issued
Extended Revolving Credit Commitment plus in each case 25 basis points (and the interest rate margins applicable to any other Extended Revolving Credit Commitment, shall be increased to the extent necessary to achieve the foregoing) and
(B) solely for purposes of the foregoing clause (A), the interest rate margins applicable to any Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed to (1) include all upfront or similar fees or original issue
discount payable generally to Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments based on an assumed four-year life to maturity or any minimum Eurocurrency Rate and (2) exclude customary consent fees payable to
Lenders and arrangement fees payable to arrangers in connection with such Pro Rata Extension Offer.
  

 -9- 

 (c) Upon the effectiveness of any such Extension, the applicable
Extending Lender’s Term Loan will be automatically designated an Extended Term Loan and/or such Extending Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment will be automatically designated an Extended Revolving Credit Commitment. For the avoidance
of doubt, the commitments and obligations of any Swing Line Lender or L/C Issuer can only be extended pursuant to an Extension or otherwise with such Person’s consent. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including without
limitation this Section 2.17), (i) no Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that the aggregate amount of (A) Extended Term Loans
for any new Class of Term Loans made in connection with any Pro Rata Extension Offer shall be at least $50,000,000 and (B) Extended Revolving Commitment for any new Class of Revolving Credit Commitments made in connection with any Pro Rata
Extension Offer shall be at least $25,000,000, (ii) any Extending Lender may extend all or any portion of its Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to one or more Pro Rata Extension Offers (subject to applicable proration in
the case of over participation) (including the extension of any Extended Term Loan and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment) and (iii) there shall be no condition to any Extension of any Loan or Revolving Credit Commitment at any time or
from time to time other than notice to the Administrative Agent of such Extension and the terms of the Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment implemented thereby. 
 (e) Each extension shall be consummated pursuant to procedures set forth in the associated Pro Rata Extension Offer;
provided that the Borrowers shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent prior to making any Pro Rata Extension Offer to establish reasonable procedures with respect to mechanical provisions relating to such Extension, including, without
limitation, timing, rounding and other adjustments. 
 (f) (i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, from time to time
after the Amendment Effective Date, upon notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, banks or other financial institutions (“New Revolving Commitment Lenders”), which may or may not be existing Lenders, may elect to provide
a new Revolving Credit Commitment (a “New Revolving Credit Commitment”) hereunder; provided that, to the extent such banks or other financial institutions are not existing Lenders, such banks or institutions shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer. Such New Revolving Credit Commitment will be in an amount (the “New Revolving Amount”) and have the terms specified in the notice to the Administrative Agent;
provided that except as to interest rates, fees, final maturity, subordinated collateral arrangements, if any, and subordinated voluntary and mandatory prepayment arrangements, if any (and subject to clause (f)(iii) below), any New Revolving
Credit Commitment shall be a Revolving Credit Commitment with the same terms as the Revolving Credit Loans. Upon receipt of a New Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrower shall make a Pro Rata Extension Offer to all existing Revolving Credit
Lenders to extend the maturity date of their Revolving Credit Commitments on the same terms as the New Revolving Credit Commitment (each Revolving Credit Lender that accepts such Pro Rata Extension Offer, an “Electing Lender”, and
each existing Revolving Credit Lender that is not an Electing Lender, a “Non-Electing Lender”). Following such election (i)

  

 -10- 

 
the Revolving Credit Commitments of all existing Revolving Credit Lenders will be permanently reduced by an aggregate amount equal to the New Revolving Amount in the manner specified by
Section 2.06(c) and (ii) the New Revolving Credit Commitment of the New Revolving Commitment Lenders will become effective and the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment shall be increased by the New Revolving Amount. In connection with the
foregoing, each Electing Lender may further elect with the consent of the Borrower (a “Further Election”) to provide a New Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder in an amount such that after giving effect to all New Revolving Credit
Commitments, the amount of such Electing Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment will equal the amount of such Electing Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment prior to any such reduction. In the event any Electing Lender has made a Further
Election, the reduction of all Revolving Credit Commitments contemplated by the second preceding sentence will instead be made in an aggregate amount to reflect the New Revolving Amount of the New Revolving Commitment Lenders and the new commitments
of all Electing Lenders making a Further Election. Subject to the foregoing, the New Revolving Credit Commitments of the New Revolving Commitment Lenders and the new commitments of all Electing Lenders making a Further Election will otherwise be
incorporated as Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder in the same manner in which Extended Revolving Credit Commitments are incorporated hereunder pursuant to this Section 2.17, including without limitation for purposes of
Section 2.17(e). 
 (ii) For the avoidance of doubt, after giving effect to such New Revolving Credit
Commitments (“Post Effectiveness”), (1) the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Commitments of all Classes derived from each Class in effect prior to such New Revolving Credit Commitments will be the same as the aggregate
amount of Revolving Credit Commitments of each Class in effect prior to giving effect to such New Revolving Credit Commitments (“Pre-Effectiveness”), (2) the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Electing Lenders will have
Revolving Credit Commitments with the same terms as the Revolving Credit Commitment in effect Pre-Effectiveness, (3) the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Electing Lenders will have Revolving Credit Commitments with the same terms as the New
Revolving Credit Commitment, (4) each Revolving Credit Lender that is an Electing Lender that has made a Further Election will have an aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Commitments equal to the amount of Revolving Credit Commitments it had
Pre-Effectiveness and (5) the New Revolving Commitment Lender will have a Revolving Credit Commitment on the terms of the New Revolving Credit Commitment in an aggregate amount equal to the New Revolving Amount. 
 (iii) With respect to any New Revolving Credit Commitment established after the Amendment Effective Date, other than the

Agreement), except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date. 
 4. Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness. The amendments set forth in clause 2 hereof shall become effective immediately upon the
date (the “Effective Date”) when each of the following conditions shall first have been satisfied: 
 (a) Each of the parties hereto (which shall include the Required Lenders and each Electing Term Lender as provided in clause (b) of this Section 4) shall have executed and delivered this Amendment; 
  

 -13- 

 (b) All Term B-2 Lenders may elect (the “Electing Term
Lenders”) to become Term B-4 Lenders and holders of Term B-4 Loans subject to all of the rights, obligations and conditions thereto under the Credit Agreement, as amended hereto, by executing the appropriate signature page in accordance
with clause 5 hereof and delivering to the Administrative Agent such signature page (the “Term B-4 Loan Notice”) stating the amount of either (i) their Base Rate Loan (as defined under the Credit Agreement) outstanding that
such Term Lender would like to extend and reclassify to a Term B-4 Base Rate Loan or (ii) their Eurocurrency Rate Loan (as defined under the Credit Agreement) outstanding that such Term Lender would like to extend and reclassify to a Term B-4
Eurocurrency Rate Loan, as applicable immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereto (the “Proposed Term B-4 Loan Amount”); provided that the aggregate amount of all Term Loans that may be
reclassified as Term B-4 Loans in accordance with this clause 4(b) shall not exceed $1,000,000,000 (the “Extended Term Loan Cap”). In the event that the Electing Term Lenders collectively submit Term B-4 Loan Notices prior to the
Consent Deadline indicating that the aggregate Proposed Term B-4 Loan Amount would exceed the Extended Term Loan Cap, such Electing Term Lenders shall be deemed to have extended and reclassified their Term B-2 Loans for either Term B-4 Base Rate
Loans or Term B-4 Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as applicable, in an amount obtained by multiplying each such Electing Term Lender’s individual Proposed Term B-4 Loan Amount as set forth on such Electing Term Lender’s signature page to this
Amendment as of the Consent Deadline (as defined below) by the quotient obtained by dividing the Extended Term Loan Cap by the aggregate Proposed Term B-4 Loan Amount of all Lenders obtained prior to the Consent Deadline, with rounding adjustments
with respect to the amount to be allocated to each such Electing Term Lender as the Administrative Agent may determine in its discretion. 
 (c) Each Term Lender executing this Amendment as a “Term B-4 Lender” shall have received, if requested by it, one or more replacement Notes payable to the order of such Term B-4 Lender duly
executed by the Borrower in substantially the form of Annex B to Amendment No. 5, as amended hereto, as the case may be, evidencing such Term Lenders’ Term B-4 Loans, as extended; provided that such Term B-4 Lender shall have
returned to the Borrower any Note held by it prior to the Effective Date. 
 (d) The Borrower shall have paid all
reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable legal fees and expenses of Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP) incurred by the Administrative Agent, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and
Banc of America Securities LLC in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Amendment or otherwise required to be paid in connection with this Amendment, to the extent invoiced at least one Business Day prior to the date
hereof. 
 (e) The Administrative Agent shall have received such opinions as may reasonably be requested by it,
including an opinion of Ropes & Gray LLP, New York counsel to the Loan Parties, each dated as of the Effective Date and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (f) The Administrative Agent shall have received a completed “Life-of-Loan” Federal Emergency Management Agency
Standard Flood Hazard Determination with respect to each Mortgaged Property; 
 (g) The Administrative Agent
shall have received from the Borrower a consent fee payable in Dollars for the account of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) that has returned an executed signature page to this Amendment to the Administrative Agent at or prior to 5:00
p.m., New York City time on August 18, 2009 (the “Consent Deadline” and each such

  

 -14- 

 
Lender, a “Consenting Lender”) equal to 0.05% of the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans, if any, held by such Consenting Lender as of the Consent
Deadline with respect to which a consent was delivered and (y) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment, if any, of such Consenting Lender as of the Consent Deadline with respect to which a consent was delivered. 
 (h) The Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, certifying the
conditions precedent set forth in Sections 4.02(a) and (b) of the Credit Agreement shall have been satisfied on and as of the Effective Date. 
 5. Effect of Amendment. 
 (a) Subject to Section 8
hereof, on and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement shall mean and be a
reference to the Credit Agreement, as modified by this Amendment. 
 (b) The Credit Agreement and each of the
other Loan Documents, as specifically amended by this Amendment, are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Documents
and all of the Collateral described therein do and shall continue to secure the payment of all Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, in each case, as amended by this Amendment. 
 (c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a
waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents. On and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, this Amendment
shall for all purposes constitute a Loan Document. 
 (d) On the Effective Date: if the aggregate Proposed Term
B-4 Loan Amount for all Electing Term Lenders is less than or equal to the Extended Term Loan Cap, (A) each Term B-2 Lender that has executed and delivered a counterpart to this Amendment as a “Term B-4 Base Rate Lender” (each, a
“Term B-4 Base Rate Lender”) and has designated on its signature page an aggregate principal amount of its Term B-2 Loan to be treated as a “Term B-4 Base Rate Loan” (a “Term B-4 Base Rate Loan”) shall
have its Term B-2 Loan automatically reclassified as a Term B-4 Base Rate Loan for the purpose of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereto, in an aggregate principal amount equal to its Proposed Term B-4 Loan Amount; and (B) each Term B-2 Lender
that has executed and delivered a counterpart to this Amendment as a “Term B-4 Eurocurrency Rate Lender” (each, a “Term B-4 Eurocurrency Rate Lender”) and has designated on its signature page an aggregate principal amount
of its Term B-2 Loan to be treated as a “Term B-4 Eurocurrency Rate Loan” (a “Term B-4 Eurocurrency Rate Loan”) shall have its Term B-2 Loan automatically reclassified as a Term B-4 Eurocurrency Rate Loan for the purpose
of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereto, in an aggregate principal amount equal to its Proposed Term B-4 Loan Amount; provided if the aggregate Proposed Term B-4 Loan Amount for all Electing Term Lenders is greater than the Extended Term
Loan Cap, such amount of Term B-4 Loans will be allocated to the Electing Term Lenders in accordance with clause 4(b) hereof. 
  

 -15- 

 6. Post-Effective Provisions. Each Loan Party covenants that it shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable: 
 (a) With respect to each Mortgage encumbering
Mortgaged Property, an amendment thereof (each a “Mortgage Amendment”) duly executed and acknowledged by the applicable Loan Party, and in form for recording in the recording office where each such Mortgage was recorded, together

and enforceable first priority lien on such Mortgaged Property in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties free and clear of all Liens except as expressly permitted by Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement or by the
Collateral Agent, and such Mortgage Policy shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent;

satisfactory to the Agents;

affidavits, certificates, information and instruments of indemnification as shall be required to induce applicable title insurance company to issue the Mortgage Policies contemplated in subparagraph (b) of this Section 6;

of all applicable title insurance premiums, search and examination charges and related charges, mortgage recording taxes, fees, charges, costs and expenses required for the recording of the Mortgage Amendments and issuance of the Mortgage Policies
referred to in subparagraph (b) of this Section 6. 
 The applicable Loan Parties shall deliver or cause to be
delivered each of the documents and instruments required pursuant to this Section 6 within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, unless extended by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. 
 7. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of
the Existing Agent, the Lenders, the Secured Parties and the Borrower. 
 8. Limitation. Each party hereto hereby agrees
that this Amendment is not inconsistent with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

 SECTION 2.01 Priority and Payment of Claims. 
 (a) Anything contained herein or in any of the Secured Credit
Documents to the contrary notwithstanding (but subject to Section 1.01(d)), if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Collateral Agent is taking action to enforce rights in respect of any Shared Collateral, or any
distribution is made in respect of any Shared Collateral in any Bankruptcy Case of any Grantor or any First Lien Secured Party receives any payment pursuant to any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement) with respect to any Shared
Collateral, the proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any such Collateral by any First Lien Secured Party or received by the Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Party pursuant to any such intercreditor agreement with
respect to such Shared Collateral and proceeds of any such distribution (subject, in the case of any such distribution, to the sentence immediately following) to which the First Lien Obligations are entitled under any intercreditor agreement (other
than this Agreement) (all proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any Collateral and all proceeds of any such distribution being collectively referred to as “Proceeds”), shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in
the order specified in clause (d) of this Section 2.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Shared Collateral for which a third party (other than a First Lien Secured Party) has a lien or security interest that is junior in
priority to the security interest of any Series of First Lien Obligations but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the security interest of any other Series of First Lien Obligations (such third party
an “Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Shared Collateral or Proceeds which are allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Shared Collateral or Proceeds to be distributed in
respect of the Series of First Lien Obligations with respect to which such Impairment exists. 
 (b) It is acknowledged that the
First Lien Obligations of any Series may, subject to the limitations set forth in the then extant Secured Credit Documents, be increased, extended, renewed, replaced, restated, supplemented, restructured, repaid, refunded, Refinanced or otherwise
amended or modified from time to time, all without affecting the priorities set forth in Section 2.01(a) or the provisions of this Agreement defining the relative rights of the First Lien Secured Parties of any Series.

 (c) Notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or
perfection of any Liens securing any Series of First Lien Obligations granted on the Shared Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, or any other applicable law or the Secured Credit Documents
or any defect or deficiencies in the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations of any Series or any other circumstance whatsoever (but, in each case, subject to Section 1.01(b)), each First Lien Secured Party hereby agrees that the Liens
securing each Series of First Lien Obligations on any Shared Collateral shall be of equal priority. 
 (d) Regardless of any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding that has been commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, Collateral or any proceeds thereof received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, such Collateral upon

practicable after the receipt thereof): 
 (i) first, on a pro rata basis, to the payment of all amounts due to the
Collateral Agent, any Authorized Representative, and any letter of credit issuer (in such capacities) (other than amounts constituting Interest Expenses) under the Credit Agreement or any Other First Lien Agreement, excluding in the case of any
letter of credit issuer, amounts payable in connection with any unreimbursed amount under any Letter of Credit; 
 (ii)
second, on a pro rata basis to any First Lien Secured Party that has theretofore advanced or paid any fees to the Collateral Agent or any Authorized Representative or any letter of credit issuer, other than any amounts covered by priority

 (iii) third, on a pro rata basis, to the payment of, without duplication, (A) all principal and other amounts then due and

on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative, (ii) the Collateral Agent shall not follow any instructions with respect to such Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any
Shared Collateral) from any Non-Controlling Authorized Representative (or any other First Lien Secured Party other than the Applicable Authorized Representative) and (iii) no Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or other First Lien Secured
Party (other than the Applicable Authorized Representative) shall or shall instruct the Collateral Agent to, commence any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar
official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it
in respect of, any Shared Collateral (including with respect to any

  

 -7- 

 
intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral), whether under any First Lien Security Document, applicable law or otherwise, it being agreed that only the Collateral Agent, acting
on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative and in accordance with the applicable First Lien Security Documents, shall be entitled to take any such actions or exercise any such remedies with respect to Shared Collateral.
Notwithstanding the equal priority of the Liens, the Collateral Agent (acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative) may deal with the Shared Collateral as if such Applicable Authorized Representative had a senior Lien on
such Collateral. No Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or Non-Controlling Secured Party will contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or the
Controlling Secured Party or any other exercise by the Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or the Controlling Secured Party of any rights and remedies relating to the Shared Collateral, or to cause the Collateral Agent to do
so. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit the rights and priorities of any First Lien Secured Party, Collateral Agent or any Authorized Representative with respect to any Collateral not constituting Shared Collateral. 
 (b) Each of the Authorized Representatives agrees that it will not accept any Lien on any Collateral for the benefit of any Series of First
Lien Obligations (other than funds deposited for the discharge or defeasance of any Other First Lien Agreement) other than pursuant to the First Lien Security Documents, and by executing this Agreement (or a Joinder Agreement), each Authorized
Representative and the Series of First Lien Secured Parties for which it is acting hereunder agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the other First Lien Security Documents applicable to it. 
 (c) Each of the First Lien Secured Parties agrees that it will not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in
contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the perfection, priority, validity or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the First Lien Secured Parties in all or any part of the Collateral, or
the provisions of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair (i) the rights of any of the Collateral Agent or any Authorized Representative to enforce this Agreement or (ii) the rights
of any First Lien Secured Party from contesting or supporting any other Person in contesting the enforceability of any Lien purporting to secure First Lien Obligations constituting unmatured interest pursuant to Section 502(b)(2) of the
Bankruptcy Code. 
 SECTION 2.03 No Interference; Payment Over. 
 (a) Each First Lien Secured Party agrees that (i) it will not challenge or question in any proceeding the validity or enforceability of
any First Lien Obligations of any Series or any First Lien Security Document or the validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien under any First Lien Security Document or the validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or duties
established by or other provisions of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any First Lien Secured Party from challenging or questioning the validity or enforceability of any
First Lien Obligations constituting unmatured interest or the validity of any Lien relating thereto pursuant to Section 502(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (ii) it will not take or cause to be taken any action the purpose or intent of which
is, or could be, to interfere, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Shared Collateral by the Collateral Agent, (iii) except as provided in
Section 2.02, it shall have no right to (A) direct the Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to any Shared Collateral (including pursuant to any intercreditor agreement)

insolvency or other proceeding any claim against the Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or

  

 -8- 

 
otherwise with respect to any Shared Collateral, and none of the Collateral Agent, any Applicable Authorized Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party shall be liable for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent, such Applicable Authorized Representative or other First Lien Secured Party with respect to any Shared Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (v) it will not seek,
and hereby waives any right, to have any Shared Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of such Collateral and (vi) it will not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceedings or
otherwise, to challenge the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any of the Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party to enforce
this Agreement. 
 (b) Each First Lien Secured Party hereby agrees that if it shall obtain possession of any Shared Collateral
or shall realize any proceeds or payment in respect of any such Shared Collateral, pursuant to any First Lien Security Document or by the exercise of any rights available to it under applicable law or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or
through any other exercise of remedies (including pursuant to any intercreditor agreement), at any time prior to the Discharge of each of the First Lien Obligations, then it shall hold such Shared Collateral, proceeds or payment in trust for the
other First Lien Secured Parties and promptly transfer such Shared Collateral, proceeds or payment, as the case may be, to the Collateral Agent, to be distributed by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01 hereof.

 SECTION 2.04 Automatic Release of Liens; Amendments to First Lien Security Documents. 
 (a) If, at any time any Shared Collateral is transferred to a third party or otherwise disposed of, in each case, in connection with any
enforcement by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending at the time) the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of each Series
of First Lien Secured Parties upon such Shared Collateral will automatically be released and discharged upon final conclusion of foreclosure proceeding; provided that any proceeds of any Shared Collateral realized therefrom shall be applied pursuant
to Section 2.01 hereof. 
 (b) Each First Lien Secured Party agrees that the Collateral Agent may enter into any amendment
(and, upon request by the Collateral Agent, each Authorized Representative shall sign a consent to such amendment) to any First Lien Security Document (including, without limitation, to release Liens securing any Series of First Lien Obligations) so
long as such amendment, subject to clause (d) below, is permitted by the terms of each then extant Secured Credit Document. Additionally, each First Lien Secured Party agrees that the Collateral Agent may enter into any amendment (and, upon
request by the Collateral Agent, each Authorized Representative shall sign a consent to such amendment) to any First Lien Security Document solely as such First Lien Security Document relates to a particular Series of First Lien Obligations
(including, without limitation, to release Liens securing such Series of First Lien Obligations) so long as (i) such amendment is in accordance with the Secured Credit Document pursuant to which such Series of First Lien Obligations was
incurred and (ii) such amendment does not adversely affect the First Lien Secured Parties of any other Series. 
 (c) Each
Authorized Representative agrees to execute and deliver (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) all such authorizations and other instruments as shall reasonably be requested by the Collateral Agent to evidence and confirm any release of
Shared Collateral or amendment to any First Lien Security Document provided for in this Section. 
  

 -9- 

 (d) In determining whether an amendment to any First Lien Security Document is permitted by
this Section 2.04, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate of an officer of the Borrower stating that such amendment is permitted by Section 2.04(b) above. 
 SECTION 2.05 Certain Agreements with Respect to Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. 
 (a) This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the commencement of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or
any other Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law by or against the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries. 
 (b) If any Grantor shall become subject to a case (a “Bankruptcy Case”) under the Bankruptcy Code and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of financing (“DIP
Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, each First Lien Secured Party
(other than any Controlling Secured Party or any Authorized Representative of any Controlling Secured Party) agrees that it will raise no objection to any such financing or to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the same (“DIP
Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Shared Collateral, unless a majority in interest of the holders of loans or notes, as applicable, of a Controlling Secured Party (or such greater amount as is necessary to
take action under the applicable Secured Credit Document), or an Authorized Representative of any Controlling Secured Party (provided that the Authorized Representative may not oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or
use of cash collateral if directed not to by a majority in interest of the holders of the loans or notes, as applicable, of a Controlling Secured Party (or such greater amount as is necessary to take action under the applicable Secured Credit
Document)), shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Shared Collateral for the benefit of
the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Shared Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any First Lien Secured
Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Shared Collateral granted to secure the First Lien Obligations of the
Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such Shared Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the First Lien Secured Parties of each Series retain the
benefit of their Liens on all such Shared Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding, with the same priority vis-a-vis all the other First Lien Secured Parties (other than any
Liens of the First Lien Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (B) the First Lien Secured Parties of each Series are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to
any First Lien Secured Parties as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with the same priority vis-a-vis the First Lien Secured Parties as set forth in this Agreement, (C) if any
amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the First Lien Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement, and (D) if any First Lien Secured Parties are granted adequate
protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection is applied pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement; provided that the First
Lien Secured Parties of each Series shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral subject to Liens in favor of the First Lien Secured Parties of such Series or its Authorized Representative that
shall not constitute Shared Collateral; and provided, further, that the First Lien Secured Parties receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other First Lien Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate
protection granted to such First Lien Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral.

 SECTION 2.06 Reinstatement. In the event that any of the First Lien Obligations shall
be paid in full and such payment or any part thereof shall subsequently, for whatever reason (including an order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference under Title 11 of the United Stated Code, or any similar law, or the settlement of any
claim in respect thereof), be required to be returned or repaid, the terms and conditions of this Article II shall be fully applicable thereto until all such First Lien Obligations shall again have been paid in full in cash. 
 SECTION 2.07 Insurance. As between the First Lien Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent, acting at the direction of the Applicable
Authorized Representative, shall have the right to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering or constituting Shared Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar
proceeding affecting the Shared Collateral. 
 SECTION 2.08 Refinancings. The First Lien Obligations of any Series may be
Refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the refinancing transaction under any Secured Credit Document) of any First Lien Secured Party of any
other Series, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided that the Authorized Representative of the holders of any such Refinancing indebtedness shall be a party hereto or shall have executed a
Joinder Agreement on behalf of the holders of such Refinancing indebtedness. 
 SECTION 2.09 Possessory Collateral Agent as
Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection. 
 (a) The Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory
Collateral that is part of the Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other First Lien Secured Party and any assignee solely for the purpose of
perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable First Lien Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.09. Pending delivery to the Collateral
Agent, each other Authorized Representative agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral, from time to time in its possession, as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other First Lien Secured Party and any assignee,
solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable First Lien Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.09.

 (b) The duties or responsibilities of the Collateral Agent and each other Authorized Representative under this
Section 2.09 shall be limited solely to holding any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other First Lien Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such First Lien
Secured Parties therein. 
 ARTICLE III 
 EXISTENCE AND AMOUNT OF LIENS AND OBLIGATIONS 
 Whenever the Collateral Agent or
any Authorized Representative shall be required, in connection with the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence

  

 -11- 

 
or amount of any First Lien Obligations of any Series, or the Shared Collateral subject to any Lien securing the First Lien Obligations of any Series, it may request that such information be
furnished to it in writing by each other Authorized Representative and shall be entitled to make such determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however, that if an Authorized Representative shall fail or refuse reasonably
promptly to provide the requested information, the requesting Collateral Agent or Authorized Representative shall be entitled to make any such determination or not make any determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith
judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of the Borrower. The Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance
with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to any Grantor, any First Lien Secured Party or any other person as a result of such determination. 

ARTICLE IV 
 THE
COLLATERAL AGENT 
 SECTION 4.01 Appointment and Authority. 
 (a) Each of the First Lien Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints Wachovia Bank, National Association to act on its behalf as the
Collateral Agent hereunder and under each of the other First Lien Security Documents and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or
thereof, including for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any Grantor to secure any of the First Lien Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In
this connection, the Collateral Agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 4.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof)
granted under any of the First Lien Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IV and
Article IX of the Credit Agreement and any equivalent provision of any Other First Lien Agreement (as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “Collateral Agent” under the First Lien Security Documents) as if set
forth in full herein with respect thereto. 
 (b) Each Non-Controlling Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral
Agent shall be entitled, for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with any Shared Collateral as provided herein and in the First Lien Security Documents, without regard to any rights to
which the holders of the Non-Controlling Secured Obligations would otherwise be entitled as a result of such Non-Controlling Secured Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Secured Party agrees that none of the Collateral
Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any of the First Lien
Obligations), or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations), in any manner that would maximize the return to the Non-Controlling Secured
Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Non-Controlling Secured Parties from such realization, sale, disposition or
liquidation. Each of the First Lien Secured Parties waives any claim it may now or hereafter have against the Collateral Agent or the Authorized Representative of any other Series of First Lien Obligations or any other First Lien Secured Party of
any other Series arising out of (i) any actions which the Collateral Agent, any Authorized Representative or any First Lien Secured Party takes or omits to take (including, actions with respect to

  

 -12- 

 
the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the
Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the First Lien Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the First Lien Security Documents or any other agreement
related thereto or to the collection of the First Lien Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the First Lien Obligations, (ii) any election by any Applicable Authorized Representative or any holders of
First Lien Obligations, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) subject to Section 2.05, any borrowing by, or grant of a security interest or
administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code by, the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not accept any
Shared Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any First Lien Obligations pursuant to Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, without the consent of each Authorized Representative representing holders of First
Lien Obligations for whom such Collateral constitutes Shared Collateral. 
 (c) Whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby are consummated, the First Lien Secured Parties shall indemnify upon demand the Collateral Agent and each of its Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Grantor and without limiting the obligation of any
Grantor to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each such Agent-Related Person from and against any and all liabilities incurred by it in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement and any Collateral Document such First Lien
Secured Parties benefit from; provided that no First Lien Secured Party shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such indemnified liabilities resulting from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross
negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Applicable Authorized Representative shall be deemed to
constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any indemnified liabilities, this applies whether any such investigation, litigation or
proceeding is brought by any First Lien Secured Party or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each First Lien Secured Party shall reimburse the Collateral Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket
expenses (including attorney costs) incurred by the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal
proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Secured Credit Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Collateral Agent is not
reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Grantors. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement and the resignation of the Collateral Agent. 
 SECTION 4.02 Rights as a First Lien Secured Party. The Person serving as the Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights
and powers in its capacity as a First Lien Secured Party under any Series of First Lien Obligations that it holds as any other First Lien Secured Party of such Series and may exercise the same as though it were not the Collateral Agent and the term
“First Lien Secured Party” or “First Lien Secured Parties” or (as applicable) “Credit Agreement Secured Party”, “Credit Agreement Secured Parties”, “Other First Lien Secured Party” or “Other
First Lien Secured Parties” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Collateral Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Collateral
Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other First Lien Secured Party.

 (a) The Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other First Lien
Security Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent: 
 (i) shall not be subject to any
fiduciary or other implied duties of any kind or nature to any Person, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other First Lien Security

counsel, may expose the Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any First Lien Security Document or applicable law;

be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default under any Series of First Lien Obligations unless and until notice describing such Event Default is given to the Collateral Agent by the Authorized Representative of such First Lien Obligations
or the Borrower; 
 (v) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (A) any statement,
warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other First Lien Security Document, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or
therewith, (C) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (D) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of
this Agreement, any other First Lien Security Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the First Lien Security Documents, (E) the value or the
sufficiency of any Collateral for any Series of First Lien Obligations, (F) the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, or (G) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in any Secured Credit Document,
other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Collateral Agent; 
 (vi) shall not have any
fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of any kind or nature under any Other First Lien Agreement (but shall be entitled to all protections provided to the Collateral Agent therein); 
 (vii) with respect to the Credit Agreement, any Other First Lien Agreement or any First Lien Security Document, may conclusively assume that
the Grantors have complied with all of their obligations thereunder unless advised in writing by the Authorized Representative thereunder to the contrary specifically setting forth the alleged violation; 
  

 -14- 

 (viii) may conclusively rely on any certificate of an officer of the Borrower provided
pursuant to Section 2.04(d); and 
 (ix) shall not, beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof and is
otherwise specifically set forth herein, have any duty as to any of the Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any sub-agent or a bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties
or any other rights pertaining thereto and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at an time or times or otherwise perfecting
or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier
forwarding agency or other sub-agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith. 
 (b) Each Secured Party
acknowledges that, in addition to acting as the initial Collateral Agent, Wachovia Bank, National Association also serves as Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and each First Lien Secured Party hereby waives any right to make any
objection or claim against Wachovia Bank, National Association (or any successor Collateral Agent or any of their respective counsel) based on any alleged conflict of interest or breach of duties arising from the Collateral Agent also serving as the
Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 4.04 Reliance by Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon,
and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed
by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and
shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may include, but shall not be limited to counsel for the Borrower or counsel for the Administrative Agent), independent accountants and other
experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action under any Secured Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Applicable Authorized Representative or the majority or such other amount of the Controlling Secured Parties as it deems appropriate and, if it
so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the First Lien Secured Parties against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Collateral Agent
shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Secured Credit Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Applicable Authorized Representative or the majority of the
Controlling Secured Parties (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders. 
 SECTION 4.05 Delegation of Duties. The Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers
hereunder or under any other First Lien Security Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for
the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent, Affiliate of the Collateral Agent or any sub-agent thereto that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction). 
  

 -15- 

 SECTION 4.06 Resignation of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may at any time
give notice of its resignation as Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other First Lien Security Documents to each Authorized Representative and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Applicable Authorized
Representative shall have the right (subject, unless an Event of Default relating to the commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has occurred and is continuing, to the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed)), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank or trust Borrower with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank or trust Borrower with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed
by the Applicable Authorized Representative and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the First Lien Secured
Parties, appoint a successor Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above (but without the consent of any other First Lien Secured Party or the Borrower); provided that if the Collateral Agent shall notify the Borrower and each
Authorized Representative that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations hereunder and under the other First Lien Security Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties under any of the First Lien Security Documents,
the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security solely for purposes of maintaining the perfection of the security interests of the First Lien Secured Parties therein until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is

 7.5            Blank . 
 7.6            Blank . 
 7.7            Performance Testing . 
         7.7.1        Performance
Testing . After the occurrence of Mechanical Completion for each System, and after the “Ready for Flue Gas to Scrubber” milestone in Exhibit 15 is achieved, Contractor will start-up the System. Once Contractor has started a
System, Owner will operate the corresponding Unit or Units continuously for ninety (90) days (the “FGD Tuning Period”) during which Contractor and its FGD Subcontractor will be afforded an opportunity to tune and maximize the
operation of the System. The FGD Tuning Period shall include at least twenty (20) days, scheduled at Contractor’s reasonable requirement, during which the corresponding Unit or Units are operated at or near full load. Contractor
shall notify Owner when each System is ready to be tested (such notice, the “Testing-Ready Notice” ). Contractor will provide notice to Owner of

  

 36 

 
Performance Test PA no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the then-scheduled date of Provisional Acceptance for the System to be tested. Contractor will provide notice to Owner of
Performance Test 1 no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the then-scheduled date of Substantial Completion for the System to be tested. Contractor will perform the tests on each System as are described in Exhibit 6, which tests are
designed to demonstrate whether the System achieves the Performance Guarantees (the “Performance Tests” ); provided, that the results of such tests will be adjusted, in a manner agreed to by the Parties, to the design
conditions set forth in Exhibits 1 and 6 and in accordance with correction curves prepared by Contractor in accordance with Exhibit 6 and approved by Owner. Owner has the right to witness all occurrences of Performance Test 1 and Performance
Test PA. If a System fails to meet any of the Performance Guarantees during such Performance Test PA or Performance Test 1, then Contractor will immediately take such actions as are required to correct the Work so as to meet the Performance
Guarantees, and notify Owner when such System is ready to be re-tested. Contractor will use all reasonable efforts to complete the re-performed Performance Test 1 and Performance Test PA on such System within thirty (30) days. The
costs of such correction and re-testing shall be treated as Guarantee Costs pursuant to Section 11.3. If a System fails to satisfy the requirements at Performance Test 2 within the first 270 days of testing, any costs of retesting and
correction that are not due to failure of the Owner to operate the System in accordance with Section 1.2 of Exhibit 6 and the manuals provided by Contractor pursuant to Section 6.5.6, shall be treated as Guarantee Costs. Owner shall afford
the Contractor opportunity to test at least two FGD Systems before July 2011. Provided that the Performance Guarantees as set forth in Exhibit 6 are met during these tests, and the Performance Tests have not been performed on a maximum of two FGD
Systems, the Systems not tested shall be deemed Substantially Complete. 
 7.8        Concurrent Obligations . The Performance Tests listed in Sections 2.1.5 of Exhibit 6 shall be performed concurrently. If Contractor’s performance of such Performance
Tests on a System reveals that such System is not capable of concurrently passing such Performance Tests, then Contractor will immediately and continuously take all measures that are necessary to cause such System to pass such Performance Tests
concurrently; provided, that such measures must meet the standards set forth in Article 15. The cost of taking such measures, including without limitation all additional costs of labor, equipment, supplies, tools, non-consumable chemicals and
materials shall be treated as Guarantee Costs under Section 11.3. 
 8. PROJECT SCHEDULE; SCHEDULE GUARANTEES 
 8.1        Project Schedule . Attached as Exhibit 15 is the “Draft Project
Schedule” . Contractor has used its best efforts to schedule all work that requires a Unit to be taken out of service during Owner’s planned outages excepting for “tie-in” outages where Contractor’s obligation is to
use reasonable efforts to schedule those outages. The Parties shall agree on the Approved Project Schedule within thirty (30) days of execution of this Agreement. Once the Approved Project Schedule is agreed, it shall replace and

  

 37 

 
govern over the Draft Project Schedule. The “Approved Project Schedule” contains an integrated detailed engineering, procurement, fabrication, delivery, construction and
startup schedule of the Work and the interface activities of Owner’s Separate Contractors and specifies the Guaranteed Provisional Acceptance Dates for the Work included in each System, the Guaranteed Final Completion Date of the Work included
in each Facility and all Scheduled Outage Periods, and meets the following conditions: 
         8.1.1        Guaranteed Provisional Acceptance Date . The Work necessary for and included in the milestone identified in Exhibit 15 as
“Ready for Flue Gas to Scrubber” for each FGD System at each Facility shall be completed before 23:59 December 31, 2009, and the Guaranteed Provisional Acceptance Date for each FGD System shall be a date not later than one
hundred five (105) days after the first day of the Scheduled Outage Period set forth in the Approved Project Schedule for the final tie-in outage for that System. 
         8.1.2        Conditions for
Outages . The start dates, end dates, and duration of outages (defined as calendar days from 07:00 on the start date of the outage until 23:59 on the end date of the outage) are subject to Owner’s approval and shall meet the following
conditions: 
         8.1.2.1        Final tie-in outages for each Unit for Work on an FGD System will have a maximum duration of fifteen (15) days; 
         8.1.2.2        Electrical tie-in
outages per Unit will occur in March 2009 and have a maximum duration of five (5) days; and 
         8.1.2.3        The start dates, end dates, and duration of all other outages, shall be as agreed by Owner with a minimum of six (6) months advance
notice to Owner from Contractor. 
         8.1.3        Outage Start and End Dates . The start and end dates of all outages will be mutually agreed between the
Parties. Contractor shall be flexible and work with the Owner towards agreeing on the start and end dates of outages. 
         8.1.4        Blank . 
         8.1.5        Concurrent
Outages . Except as set forth in this Section 8.1.5, Contractor shall not plan an outage for any Unit at Morgantown or Chalk Point for a time when any other Unit at the same Facility is also out of service for a planned outage by Owner
or Contractor. In the specific case of Chalk Point Owner shall allow one concurrent outage, prior to the tie-in outage, for a time and duration to be mutually agreed by the Parties. Contractor shall not schedule an outage for any Unit at
Dickerson, if two other Units at Dickerson are also out of service for a planned outage by Owner or Contractor. Owner shall provide six (6) months advance notice of outages planned by Owner. Contractor shall provide six
(6) months advance notice of outages planned by Contractor that are not in or in accordance with the Approved Project Schedule. 
  

 38 

 8.1.6        Immovable
Milestones . There shall be no change to the following milestones in Exhibit 15: 
 8.1.6.1        Provisional Acceptance for each FGD System shall occur not later than one hundred five (105) days after the first day of the last Scheduled Outage Period set forth in the Approved
Project Schedule for the final tie-in outage for that System, and Substantial Completion for each FGD System shall occur not later than ninety (90) days after the date of Provisional Acceptance for that System; 
 8.1.6.2        Owner permitting completion and construction full release shall occur
not later than September 1, 2007; 
 8.1.6.3        Required dates
for operating utilities interface as described in Exhibit 15; 
 8.1.6.4        Permitting documents submission date as described in Section 6.2.3.2; 
 8.1.6.5        The Guaranteed Provisional Acceptance Date as set forth in 8.1.1; 
 8.1.6.6        Owner’s schedule commitments as set forth in Section 5.3;

 8.1.6.7        With respect to each FGD System, the Work included in
the milestone identified as “Ready for Flue Gas to Scrubber” in Exhibit 15 shall be completed not later than December 31, 2009. 
 8.2        Schedule Guarantee . As further provided in this Section 8.2, liquidated damages will accrue for certain extended and unplanned
outages, and for delay in achieving any Guaranteed Provisional Acceptance Date, the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date, or Guaranteed Final Completion Date. Such liquidated damages shall be treated as Guarantee Costs pursuant to
Section 11.3. 
 8.2.1        Work Progress and Completion .

 8.2.1.1        General . Contractor will schedule, report
and perform the Work according to the Approved Project Schedule. Contractor will provide Owner with a Progress Report on the fifteenth (15th ) day of each month during the performance of the Work. 
 8.2.1.2        Maximum Outage Period . Contractor acknowledges that
Owner will incur significant damages and liabilities if any of the Units is taken out of operation for any period longer than the Scheduled Outage Period for such Unit (as will be reflected in the Approved Project

  

 39 

 
Schedule). Accordingly, all Work that must be performed while a Unit is out of operation will be performed by Contractor during normal maintenance outages scheduled by Owner or during the
Scheduled Outage Period for such Unit. Subject only to adjustment by Change Order, the Contractor’s exact compliance with the Scheduled Outage Period set forth in the Approved Project Schedule is crucial to Owner’s business and
Contractor has planned, organized and coordinated the Work to fully and exactly comply with such Scheduled Outage Period. Because of the significant economic harm that Owner will suffer if the Contractor does not comply with the Scheduled
Outage Period, Owner and Contractor agree that if, during an outage, Contractor is not performing the Work in accordance with the time limits for a Scheduled Outage Period and Owner can reasonably deduce, during the outage, that Contractor will not
complete the Work necessary within the Scheduled Outage Period, then Owner may utilize separate contractors to perform all or part of the Work necessary to complete such Work within the Scheduled Outage Period. Liquidated damages for such
losses shall accrue for each day that the Contractor does not start and finish the work in exact accordance with the Scheduled Outage Period (such payment with respect to each Unit, the “Excessive Outage Payments” ) in the following
amounts: 
 Morgantown; $125,000 per Unit per day 
 Dickerson; $70,000 per Unit per day 
 Chalk Point; $100,000 per Unit per day 
 Owner shall use its best efforts to avoid
interference with the Contractor’s Work by the Owner and Owner’s Separate Contractors during the Scheduled Outage Period. Contractor understands and agrees that it shall not interfere with and shall cooperate with the Owner and
Owner’s Separate Contractors at the Project Site to fully perform the Work with no or minimal impact to any other party. 
         8.2.1.2.1    Amounts Reasonable . The Parties agree that the terms, conditions and amounts fixed as liquidated damages
pursuant to Section 8.2.1.2 for Excessive Outage Payments are reasonable, considering the actual losses that Owner will incur if the outage of a Unit exceeds the Scheduled Outage Period for such Unit. The amounts of these liquidated damages are
agreed upon and fixed hereunder by the Parties because of the difficulty of ascertaining the exact amount of losses that Owner will actually incur in such event, and the Parties agree that such amounts are a reasonable estimate of Owner’s
probable loss (and are not a penalty) and that such amounts will be applicable regardless of the actual losses incurred by Owner. 
  

 40 

         8.2.1.2.2        Bonus for Early Completion . If the Contractor finishes its Work during an outage before the end date of the Scheduled
Outage Period, then for each day Owner is able to generate power from the affected Unit Contractor shall receive a bonus as follows: 
         Morgantown:        $ 35,000 per Unit per day 
         Dickerson:             $15,000 per Unit per day 
         Chalk Point:           $25,000 per
Unit per day 
         8.2.1.2.3        Payment of Excessive Outage Payments . Owner will invoice Contractor for any Excessive Outage Payments due under
Section 8.2.1.2 on a monthly basis, and Contractor will be assessed the undisputed portion of each such invoice in full within thirty (30) calendar days of its receipt. If, subject to Section 11.3, an undisputed amount remains
unpaid for more than five (5) days after receipt of notice from Owner that the amount is overdue, Owner may deduct any such amounts due as Excessive Outage Payments from any unpaid amounts owed by Owner to Contractor under this Agreement.

 8.2.2    Guaranteed Provisional Acceptance Date . Contractor guarantees that
Provisional Acceptance of each of the Systems will occur on or before the “ Guaranteed Provisional Acceptance Date “ for each System as set forth in the Approved Project Schedule, subject only to adjustment by Change Order pursuant
to Article 19 of this Agreement. 
 8.2.3    Late Provisional Acceptance
Payments . If Provisional Acceptance of a System does not occur on or before the Guaranteed Provisional Acceptance Date for such System, as adjusted by Change Order pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, liquidated damages shall
accrue in the amounts provided below ( “Late Provisional Acceptance Payments” ): 
     8.2.3.1        Before 23:59 on December 31, 2009 for the FGD Systems. In the event that Provisional Acceptance of an FGD System is not achieved by a Guaranteed
Provisional Acceptance Date that is prior to 23:59 on December 31, 2009, then the following Late Provisional Acceptance Payment shall apply for each day beginning with the day after the Guaranteed Provisional Acceptance Date and ending on the
earlier of (i) 23:59 on December 31, 2009, or (ii) the date Provisional Acceptance is achieved: 
 Dickerson – $25,000 per FGD System per day 
 Chalk Point – $25,000 per FGD System per day

 Morgantown – $25,000 per FGD System per day 
  

 41 

 8.2.3.2        After 23:59 on
December 31, 2009 for FGD Systems. The Late Provisional Acceptance Payments set forth below shall apply in the following circumstances. In the event that the Milestone described as “Ready for Flue Gas to Scrubber” in Exhibit
15 for an FGD System is not achieved before 23:59 on December 31, 2009, then the stated Late Provisional Acceptance Payment shall apply for each day beginning with January 1, 2010, and ending with the day before such Milestone is
achieved. In the event that Provisional Acceptance of an FGD System is not achieved by a Guaranteed Provisional Acceptance Date that is after December 31, 2009 then, unless reduced pursuant to Section 8.2.3.4, the stated Late
Provisional Acceptance Payment shall apply for each day beginning with the Guaranteed Provisional Acceptance Date and ending with the day before Provisional Acceptance is achieved. The Late Provisional Acceptance Payments applicable to the FGD
Systems at each Facility are as follows: 
 Dickerson – $100,000 per FGD System per day 
 Chalk Point – $100,000 per FGD System per day 
 Morgantown – $125,000 per FGD System per day 
 In the event that there is delay in both achievement of the “Ready for Flue Gas to Scrubber” milestone for a
System and achievement of Provisional Acceptance for the same System, then such Late Provisional Acceptance Payments shall apply without duplication. For example, if completion of the “Ready for Flue Gas to Scrubber” milestone for the
System is delayed for ten days (i.e., such milestone is not achieved until January 11, 2010), and Provisional Acceptance of the System is delayed by fifteen days (i.e., from a Guaranteed Provisional Acceptance Date of February 28, 2010
until an actual date of Provisional Acceptance of March 16, 2010) then Late Provisional Acceptance Payments will accrue for the ten days of delay in achieving the milestone (from January 1 through 10), but will not accrue for the first ten
days of delay in achieving Provisional Acceptance (from February 28 through March 10). Under this example, Late Provisional Acceptance Payments will accrue for the remaining five days of delay in achieving Provisional Acceptance, from
March 11 to March 15. 
 8.2.3.3        Blank .

 8.2.3.4        Reduced Late Provisional Acceptance Payments
Period . In the event that Provisional Acceptance of an FGD System is not achieved on or before the Guaranteed Provisional Acceptance Date, but such Provisional Acceptance would have been achieved if not for an initial SO2 removal test
showing an SO2 removal percentage below 98% but greater than 94%, then the following Late Provisional Acceptance Payments shall apply for each day beginning on the later of (i) January 1, 2010 or (ii) the date of the initial SO2
removal test, and ending on the day before Provisional Acceptance is achieved: 
  

 42 

 8.2.3.4.1        If the initial
test result is less than 98% and greater than 97%, then the Late Provisional Acceptance Payment shall be $30,000 per FGD System per day for the first 30 days, and the full amount set forth in Section 8.2.3.2 for each day thereafter. 

8.2.3.4.2        If the initial test result is less than or equal to 97% and
greater than 96%, then the Late Provisional Acceptance Payments shall be $30,000 per FGD System per day for the first 26 days, and the full amount set forth in Section 8.2.3.2 for each day thereafter. 
 8.2.3.4.3        If the initial test result is less than or equal to 96% and
greater than 95%, then the Late Provisional Acceptance Payments shall be $30,000 per FGD System per day for the first 19 days, and the full amount set forth in Section 8.2.3.2 for each day thereafter. 
 8.2.3.4.4        If the initial test result is less than or equal to 95% and
greater than 94%, then the Late Provisional Acceptance Payments shall be $30,000 per FGD System per day for the first 10 days, and the full amount set forth in Section 8.2.3.2 for each day thereafter. 
 8.2.3.5        Amounts Reasonable . The Parties agree that the terms,
conditions and amounts fixed as liquidated damages pursuant to Section 8.2.3 for Late Provisional Acceptance Payments are reasonable, considering the actual losses that Owner will incur if Contractor fails to achieve Provisional Acceptance of a
System by the Guaranteed Provisional Acceptance Date for such System. The amounts of these liquidated damages are agreed upon and fixed hereunder by the Parties because of the difficulty of ascertaining the exact amount of losses that Owner will
actually incur in such event, and the Parties agree that such amounts are a reasonable estimate of Owner’s probable loss (and are not a penalty) and that such amounts will be applicable regardless of the actual losses incurred by Owner. The
receipt of any such liquidated damages will not affect, nor be affected by, Owner’s rights to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Sections 23.4 or 23.5. 
 8.2.3.6        Payment of Late Provisional Acceptance Payments . Owner will
invoice Contractor for any Late Provisional Acceptance Payments due under Section 8.2.3 on a monthly basis, and Contractor will be assessed the undisputed portion of each such invoice in full within thirty (30) calendar days of its
receipt. If, subject to Section 11.3, an 
  

 43 

 undisputed amount remains unpaid for more than five (5) days after receipt of notice
from Owner that the amount is overdue, Owner may deduct any such amounts due as Late Provisional Acceptance Payments from any unpaid amounts owed by Owner to Contractor under this Agreement. 
 8.2.4        Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date . Contractor guarantees
that Substantial Completion of each of the Systems will occur on or before the “Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date” for each System. The Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date for each FGD System at each Facility shall be
the date that is ninety (90) days after date on which such System achieves Provisional Acceptance. 
 8.2.4.1        Late Substantial Completion Payments . If Substantial Completion of the Work required in connection with a Facility does not occur on or before the Guaranteed Substantial
Completion Date for such Facility, then subject only to adjustment of the Substantial Completion Date by Change Order pursuant to Article 19 of this Agreement, Contractor hereby agrees to be assessed to Owner, $500 per calendar day for each
calendar day after such Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date until Substantial Completion of all Work required in connection with such System is achieved (“ Late Substantial Completion Payments ”). 
 8.2.4.2        Amounts Reasonable and Exclusive Remedy for Delay . The
Parties agree that the terms, conditions and amounts fixed as liquidated damages pursuant to Section 8.2.4.1 for Late Substantial Completion Payments are reasonable, considering the actual losses that Owner will incur if Contractor fails to
achieve Substantial Completion for a System by the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date for such System. The amounts of these liquidated damages are agreed upon and fixed hereunder by the Parties because of the difficulty of ascertaining the
exact amount of losses that Owner will actually incur in such event, and the Parties agree that such amounts are a reasonable estimate of Owner’s probable loss (and are not a penalty) and that such amounts will be applicable regardless of the
actual losses incurred by Owner. The Parties agree that the Late Provisional Acceptance Payments, Excessive Outage Payments, and Late Substantial Completion Payments are the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of Owner for damages it incurs due
to delay in completing outages or achieving Provisional Acceptance or Substantial Completion; notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Owner reserves all of its rights and remedies under Section 6.10, Article 7, Article 14, Article 23
and Article 28.

Completion Payments . Owner will invoice Contractor for any Late Substantial Completion Payments due under Section 8.2.4 on a weekly basis, and Contractor will

  

 44 

 
be assessed the undisputed portion of each such invoice in full within thirty (30) calendar days of its receipt. If, subject to Section 11.3, an undisputed amount remains unpaid
for more than five (5) days after receipt of notice from Owner that the amount is overdue, Owner may deduct any amounts due as Late Substantial Completion Payments from any unpaid amounts owed by Owner to Contractor. 
 8.2.5        Guaranteed Final Completion Date . Contractor guarantees that
Final Completion of the Work at each Facility will be achieved by no later than ninety (90) days after Substantial Completion of the Work required in connection with the last System at that Facility (such date, the “Guaranteed Final
Completion Date” for each Facility). 
 8.2.6        Late
Final Completion Payments . If Final Completion of the Work required in connection with a Facility does not occur on or before the Guaranteed Final Completion Date for such Facility, then subject only to adjustment of the Final Completion Date
by Change Order pursuant to Article 19 of this Agreement, Contractor hereby agrees to pay to Owner, $10,000 per calendar day for each calendar day after such Guaranteed Final Completion Date until Final Completion of all Work required in
connection with such Facility is achieved (“ Late Final Completion Payments ”). 
 8.2.6.1        Amounts Reasonable and Exclusive Remedy for Delay . The Parties agree that the terms, conditions and amounts fixed as liquidated damages pursuant to Section 8.2.6 for Late
Final Completion Payments are reasonable, considering the actual losses that Owner will incur if Contractor fails to achieve Final Completion for a System by the Guaranteed Final Completion Date for such System. The amounts of these liquidated
damages are agreed upon and fixed hereunder by the Parties because of the difficulty of ascertaining the exact amount of losses that Owner will actually incur in such event, and the Parties agree that such amounts are a reasonable estimate of
Owner’s probable loss (and are not a penalty) and that such amounts will be applicable regardless of the actual losses incurred by Owner. The Parties agree that the Late Provisional Acceptance Payments, Excessive Outage Payments, and Late
Final Completion Payments are the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of Owner for damages it incurs due to delay in completing outages or achieving Provisional Acceptance or Final Completion; notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Owner
reserves all of its rights and remedies under Section 6.10, Article 7, Article 14, Article 23 and Article 28. 
 8.2.6.2        Payment of Late Final Completion Payments . Owner will invoice Contractor for any Late Final Completion Payments due under Section 8.2.6 on a weekly basis, and Contractor
will pay be assessed the undisputed portion of each such invoice in full within thirty (30)

calendar days of its receipt. If, subject to Section 11.3, an undisputed amount remains unpaid for more than five (5) days after receipt of notice from Owner that the amount is
overdue, Owner may deduct any amounts due as Late Final Completion Payments from any unpaid amounts owed by Owner to Contractor. 
 8.2.7        Full Program Completion . Once the Contractor has successfully achieved Final Completion of all of its Work at all of the Project Sites, then it
will deliver a notice of completion of the Project (the “Notice of Project Completion”) to the Owner for verification. Owner shall, within ten (10) days of receipt of this notice, either approve or validate the notice or
provide a specific list of the area or areas in which it believes there are remaining Punch List items to be completed that have not been bought-down by mutual agreement pursuant to Section 17.5. Existence of any Punch List items that have
not been bought-down at a Facility shall be grounds for rejection of the “Notice of Project Completion.” 
 8.2.8        Reduction of Liquidated Damages Based on Delayed Permitting. Should issuance of a permit that is listed in Exhibit 4 as the responsibility of Contractor be delayed beyond the
scheduled date indicated in Exhibit 15 for issuance of such permit, Contractor shall promptly prepare for Owner’s review a revised schedule accelerating such work activities as are reasonably necessary to address the impact of such delay so
that the immovable milestones may be completed in accordance with Section 8.1.6. After review and discussion of the Contractor’s proposed revised schedule on an Open Book basis, Owner shall enter a Change Order adjusting the Target
Cost in accordance with Section 19.14 so as to equitably compensate Contractor for any additional Direct Costs that are Directly Caused by such acceleration. Should Owner fail to issue such a Change Order then, to the extent that such
failure is the Direct Cause of a delay in (i) achieving Provisional Acceptance pursuant to Section 8.2.2, (ii) achieving Substantial Completion pursuant to Section 8.2.4 or (ii) achieving Final Completion pursuant to
Section 8.2.5: 
 8.2.8.1        the liquidated damages applicable
to the days of delay Directly Caused by the failure of Owner to issue a reasonable Change Order in accordance with Section 19.14 shall be calculated using one-half (50%) of the daily rate that would otherwise be applicable under Sections
8.2.3.1, 8.2.3.2, 8.2.3.4, 8.2.4.1 and 8.2.6; and 
 8.2.8.2        the
total amount of liquidated damages payable by Contractor for delay Directly Caused by failure of Owner to issue a reasonable Change Order pursuant to Section 19.14 shall not exceed the following: 
   8.2.8.2.1        Five Million Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars
($5,250,000) for all Systems at Morgantown; 
  

 46 

 8.2.8.2.2        Three Million
Eight Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($3,850,000) for all Systems at Chalk Point; and 
 8.2.8.2.3        Two Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,100,000) for all Systems at Dickerson. 
 8.3        Schedules .    Sections 8.3.1 through 8.3.4 apply to the Approved Project Schedule: 
 8.3.1        Schedule Software . The schedule has been developed utilizing “Project Planner” project management system software by
Primavera. Contractor shall submit subsequent monthly updates, in both hard copy and diskette format at the lowest level of detail. 
 8.3.2        Activity Coding . The schedule has been developed using a detailed “work breakdown structure” (“WBS”) for activity coding.

 8.3.3        Level 3 Detail . The subsequent monthly updates of the Approved
Project Schedule shall contain a level of detail consistent with a Level 3 schedule. The subsequent updates of the Approved Project Schedule for each Facility will contain at minimum a specific activity for each group of similar engineering
deliverables, material procurement activity, group of similar site deliverables, and work that interfaces with others. The subsequent updates shall also contain specific construction activities for the Work, consistent with the detail afforded
by the work breakdown structure. 
 8.3.4        Schedule
Updates . On a monthly basis, Contractor shall submit to Owner on the tenth (10 th) day of each calendar month an update of the Approved Project Schedule. This submittal shall be by an electronic transfer method approved by Owner. The updated schedule shall identify any changes in
Contractor’s scheduling logic and shall show the status of all activities relative to: 
 Completion dates

 Estimate man-hours 
 Actual man-hours 
 Percent complete 
 Estimated quantities 
 Actual quantities 
     8.4        Work Operations . Contractor shall provide Owner, in a timely and convenient fashion, all information regarding Work
operations, sequence of Work including work of Subcontractors, breakdown of the Work into individual activities with estimated durations, logical relationships in the schedule for the Work, and descriptions of critical path and non-critical path
activities, and monthly schedule updates as required. 
  

 47 

 8.5        Recovery Schedule . If, in the
reasonable opinion of Owner after considering Contractor’s monthly Progress Report and the facts and information known to Owner, Contractor’s Work on critical path activities should fall behind the Approved Project Schedule by greater than
one week, the parties will meet to discuss appropriate remedial actions. Based on these discussions, Contractor shall, at Owner’s reasonable request, develop a recovery schedule for review and acceptance by Owner. In order to achieve
the recovery schedule, Contractor agrees to take some or all of the following actions: increase manpower, increase Project Work periods, and/or increase concurrency in such quantities and crafts as shall substantially eliminate the backlog of
Work. The additional costs of such action shall be treated as Allocable Costs under Section 11.5. This recovery schedule, once approved by Owner, shall be incorporated into the Approved Project Schedule and maintained until the interim
schedule milestones in question are accomplished. 
 8.6        Critical Schedule
Situation . If, in the reasonable opinion of Owner after consideration of Contractor’s monthly Progress Report and the facts and information known to it, Contractor’s Work on the critical path activities necessary for Provisional
Acceptance of a System fall behind the Approved Project Schedule by greater than one week, and should the Guaranteed Provisional Acceptance Date for such System be less than nine (9) months away (a “Critical Schedule
Situation”), then the parties will immediately meet to discuss appropriate remedial actions. Based on these discussions, Contractor shall develop a recovery schedule for review and acceptance by Owner. In order to achieve the
recovery schedule, Contractor agrees to take some or all of the following actions: increase manpower, increase Work periods, and/or increase concurrency in such quantities and crafts as shall substantially eliminate the backlog of
Work. This recovery schedule, once approved by Owner, shall be incorporated into the Approved Project Schedule and maintained until the delay is eliminated. 
 8.7        Contractor Responsible for Schedule . Owner’s review and approval of schedules specified within the Contract Documents shall not relieve
Contractor of its responsibility for accomplishing the Work according to the Contract Documents. Omissions and errors in the Approved Project Schedule shall not excuse performance less than that required by the Contract Documents. Owner’s
approval of Contractor certified and submitted schedules in no way makes Owner an insurer of the success of those schedules or liable for time or cost overruns resulting from shortcomings in such schedules. 
 9. KEY PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS 
 9.1                 Personnel Resources . 
 9.1.1        Key Personnel . The Parties will designate a certain number of Contractor employees as “Key Personnel” . Exhibit 7
identifies individuals designated as Key Personnel as of the Effective Date and a Project organization chart. In addition, any personnel identified on Exhibit 7 shall be considered Key Personnel, regardless of any statement set forth in this
Agreement. The Key

  

 48 

 
Personnel will be highly qualified and capable of fulfilling the responsibilities of their positions, and Contractor will cause each of them to be primarily Dedicated to the Project. The
Parties may agree to change the Contractor personnel and/or positions designated as Key Personnel. Contractor shall guarantee that Key Personnel shall be dedicated, devoted and assigned to Work applicable to such personnel’s discipline at
each such person’s assigned Facility for as long as and for the duration that their discipline is needed to complete the Work ( “Dedicated” ). 
 Contractor acknowledges that the presence of certain Key Personnel at the Facilities is critical to the Project and agrees
to make any requested Key Personnel available at the Facilities upon Owner’s reasonable request. Such request will be provided to Contractor at least thirty (30) days before the presence of Key Personnel is required, or, in the case
of specialists to be identified by agreement of the Parties, fourteen (14) days; provided that where less than the required notice is provided, Contractor shall use reasonable efforts to make such Key Personnel available. 
 9.1.2        Departure of Key Personnel . Contractor shall be deemed in
default of this Agreement if Contractor breaches Section 9.1.1, except (i) where a Key Personnel leaves his or her employment for reasons that are beyond the reasonable control of Contractor (e.g., retirement, resignation, death,
disability, illegal or wrongful activity, etc), (ii) where a change in the person identified as a Key Personnel is agreed to by Owner in accordance with Section 9.1.4, or (iii) where a person identified as a Key Personnel is
transferred due to demonstrable personal hardship of the Key Personnel. 
 9.1.3        Assignment of Key Personnel . Before assigning an individual as a Key Personnel, Contractor will (i) notify Owner of the proposed assignment, (ii) introduce the
individual to the Owner’s Authorized Representative (and provide such representative with the opportunity to interview the individual), and (iii) provide Owner with a résumé and other information requested by Owner about the
individual. If Owner objects to the proposed assignment for any reason that is not unlawful, Contractor will not assign the individual as a Key Personnel and will promptly propose to Owner another highly qualified individual to serve in such
position. 
 9.1.4        Replacement of Key Personnel . Key
Personnel may not be transferred or re-assigned until a suitable replacement has been approved by Owner. Any replacement of Key Personnel, whether requested by Owner or Contractor, must be conducted in accordance with a mutually agreed upon
transition plan in accordance with Section 9.2. If any Key Personnel leaves his or her employment with Contractor for reasons that are beyond the reasonable control of Contractor, Contractor may temporarily replace such person, for a
period not to exceed sixty (60) days, with a Qualified Person without Owner’s approval until a permanent replacement has been identified to and approved by Owner. For purposes of this Section, a “Qualified Person”
shall mean a person of equal or greater education and experience, or as otherwise approved by

  

 49 

 
Owner. Owner’s approval of replacements for Key Personnel will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Parties agree that promotion will be acceptable grounds for replacing
Key Personnel provided that Contractor first identifies a replacement and such replacement is pre-approved by Owner. 
 9.1.5        Key Personnel of Subcontractors . Owner’s ultimate right to replace an employee of Contractor includes employees of its Subcontractors. Owner shall have the right to
instruct Contractor to remove any of its employees or its Subcontractors’ employees from the Project Site or the Work if Owner determines in its reasonable discretion and for reasons that are not unlawful that the continued assignment to the
Project of such personnel is not in the best interest of Owner. Owner’s Authorized Representative may request by notice that Contractor remove and replace any such person with another qualified individual. After receipt of such
notice, Contractor will remove, or require that its Subcontractor remove such person from the Project and replace such person with personnel possessing qualifications and skills appropriate to the position. 
 9.1.5.1        For Key Personnel, in a safety or emergency situation, such
personnel shall be removed immediately, and replaced as soon as practicable. In all other instances, Key Personnel shall be removed and replaced within 30 calendar days of Owner’s notice. 
 9.1.5.2        For non-Key Personnel, in a safety or emergency situation, such
personnel shall be removed immediately, and replaced as soon as practicable. In all other instances, non-Key Personnel shall be removed and replaced within 30 calendar days of Owner’s notice. 
 9.2        Contractor Personnel Transition Plan . 
 9.2.1        Notice of Departure of Key Personnel . Contractor will notify
Owner promptly upon determining that any Key Personnel will no longer be serving in such person’s position. Where practicable, notice will be delivered to Owner at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to the date on which such person
will cease to serve in such role. 
 9.2.2        Mutual
Agreement . In addition to providing notice to Owner pursuant to Section 9.2.1, Contractor will cause Key Personnel not to be removed or re-assigned from their positions and to continue to perform the Work until the Parties reach mutual
agreement regarding a transition plan, unless (i) otherwise requested by Owner or (ii) the continued performance of any such person in such role is impossible due to illness, disability, death or termination of employment. The Parties will
promptly begin to negotiate in good faith the terms of the transition plan for the departing personnel immediately following Contractor’s delivery of notice pursuant to Section 9.2.1. Each transition plan will be

  

 50 

 
developed by the Parties on a case-by-case basis for any departing personnel and will be mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties. All transition plans will include at least the
following: (i) technical requirements (if not already defined), (ii) a timetable for integration of the replacement personnel into the Key Personnel position, and (iii) replacement methodology designed to minimize the loss of
knowledge as a result of losing the previous Key Personnel. 
 9.3        Independent
Contractor: Employees . Neither Contractor nor Contractor’s employees are or shall be deemed to be employees of Owner. Contractor shall be solely responsible for the payment of compensation (including provision for employment taxes,
federal, state and local income taxes, workers compensation and any similar taxes) associated with the employment of Contractor’s employees. Contractor shall also be solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining all requisite work
permits, visas, and any other documentation required under Applicable Law and Applicable Permits for its employees and shall require that all Subcontractors do the same for their employees . Contractor represents that Contractor, its employees,
and those Subcontractors authorized by Owner under this Agreement, are authorized to perform services under this Agreement. 
 9.4        Applicable Time Period. The provisions set forth in this Article 9 shall be applicable and binding upon Contractor from the date of issuance of the LNTP through and up to the date of
Final Completion.

 Chalk
Point                –            $285,224,000.00 
 as such Target Cost may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to a Change Order. 
 10.2      Calculation of Contractor’s Actual Cost . 
 10.2.1        Categories of Costs . The Actual Cost for Work performed on a
System is the sum of the costs for Actual Home Office Labor Costs, Actual Field Non-Manual Labor Costs, Actual Self-Performed Field Manual Services Costs, and Actual Third Party Expenses as described in Sections 10.2.2 through 10.2.5 incurred before
the date of the first occurrence of an Initial Performance Test that does not satisfy the applicable Performance Guarantees, plus any such actual costs incurred to perform the Initial Performance Test and to complete the Punch List, but excluding
any liquidated damages under Section 8.2. 
  

 51 

 10.2.2        Actual Home Office
Labor Costs . The actual costs for home office labor including labor employed at the Contractor’s home office and at any other location away from a Site ( “Actual Home Office Labor Costs” ) shall be calculated by
multiplying the number of hours spent on tasks necessary for proper performance of the Work by such persons times the labor rates set forth in Exhibit 8D. Such rates are fully burdened including mark-up for SG&A and will not be
modified except by Change Order in accordance with Section 19.11 for escalation on January 1 of each year, of five percent (5%) per annum as provided in Exhibit 8D. The reasonable actual cost of travel of persons classified
as home office labor shall be allowed only as provided in accordance with Contractor’s travel and expense reimbursement policy in effect on the Effective Date, subject only to non-material annual adjustments such as adjustment of the rate of
reimbursement for mileage to match changes in the mileage allowance contained in the Internal Revenue Code. 
 10.2.3        Actual Field Non-Manual Labor Costs . The actual costs for field non-manual labor including Contractor’s supervisory or management personnel located on a Site (
“Actual Field Non-Manual Labor Costs” ) shall be calculated by multiplying the number of hours spent on tasks necessary for proper performance of the Work by such persons times the labor rates set forth in Exhibit 8D. Such
rates are fully burdened including mark-up for SG&A and will not be modified except by Change Order in accordance with Section 19.11 for escalation on January 1 of each year, of five percent (5%) per annum as provided in
Exhibit 8D. The reasonable actual cost of travel of persons classified as field non-manual labor shall be allowed only as provided in accordance with Contractor’s travel and expense reimbursement policy in effect on the Effective
Date, subject only to non-material annual adjustments such as adjustment of the rate of reimbursement for mileage to match changes in the mileage allowance contained in the Internal Revenue Code. 
 10.2.4        Actual Self-Performed Field Manual Services Costs . The actual
costs for employees the Contractor has hired to perform construction related tasks at a Site ( “Actual Self-Performed Field Manual Services Costs” ) shall be calculated by multiplying the number of hours spent on tasks necessary for
proper performance of the Work by such persons times the hourly costs for such persons as set forth in certified payrolls and any other evidence as provided by Contractor. The hourly rates stated in Exhibit 8B shall be subject to increase or
decrease semi-annually by Change Order pursuant to the process provided in Section 19.10 below. The rates shall be burdened only with the following categories of additional labor-related costs applicable thereto, which shall be adjusted by
Change Order pursuant to Section 19.2 in the event of a change in the benefits, safety incentive or per diem paid by Contractor to its employees working on the Project or a change in premiums paid for WC/GL insurance, or by Change Order
pursuant to Section 19.9 for a Change in Applicable Law: 
 Benefits
=            5% (initial) 
 Federal Unemployment Insurance = 0.8%
(initial) 
 State Unemployment Insurance =    2.3% (initial) 
 FICA/HI =          7.65% (initial) 
 WC/GL =            5% (initial) 
 Safety Incentive =            $0.5/hour (initial) 
 Per Diem =          $7/hour (initial) 
 SG&A =              8.5% 
  

 52 

 The percentage mark-ups for Benefits, FUI, SUI, FICA/HI, and WC/GL shall be applied only to
the base published craft labor rate, and shall not be applied to the Safety Incentives or Per Diem. The SG&A shall be applied to the fully-burdened rates including the base craft labor rate, Benefits, FUI, SUI, FICA/HI, WC/GL, Safety Incentive
and Per Diem. The percentage mark-ups for FUI, SUI, FICA/HI and WC/GL shall be charged only on the portion of wages and other compensation that is actually subject to tax, withholding or deduction under FUI, SUI, FICA/HI and WC/GL, and shall
not apply to any amount of wages or other compensation that exceeds the applicable caps or limitations on wages or other compensation, as provided by relevant statute, regulation or contract. 
   10.2.5        Actual Third Party Expenses: Unless expressly
waived by Owner in writing, all Subcontractors will be selected by Contractor based on a competitive sourcing process demonstrating best value, including subcontractors that are on the approved subcontractor lists included in Exhibit 1, as further
supplemented by agreement of the Parties (the “Approved Subcontractor List” ). “ Actual Third Party Expenses ” shall include only payments made by Contractor to Subcontractors or other third parties that are
necessary for proper performance of the Work and substantiated by paid invoices. Actual Third Party Expenses shall be marked-up by 8.5% to cover SG&A expenses. Actual Third Party Expenses shall be calculated net of discounts, rebates,
insurance proceeds, or other payments or credits of any kind received by Contractor from a Subcontractor or other third party. Subject to the conditions and requirements of this Section 10.2.5, Actual Third Party Expenses may include, among
other costs, costs incurred for Commodities, for equipment packages, for furnish & erect subcontracts and for subcontracted labor. 
   10.2.6        Selling, General and Administrative Expenses . All SG&A costs are included in the rates used for calculating Actual Home Office
Labor Costs and Actual Field Non-Manual Labor Costs as set forth in Exhibit 8D, the calculation of Actual Self-Performed Field Manual Services Costs set forth in Section 10.2.4, and the calculation of Actual Third Party Expenses set forth
in Section 10.2.5.
  

 53 

 These percentage mark-ups will be Contractor’s sole source of recovery or compensation
for SG&A costs. 
 10.2.7        Separate Accounts .
Contractor shall keep separate accounts for Actual Costs, Performance Incentives and Guarantee Costs incurred at each Facility for Work performed under the Target Price method (Section 13.2), and shall make such accounts available for Owner’s
inspection on an Open Book basis. 
 10.3        Cap on Contractor’s Total
Engineering Hours . Subject to modification by Change Order pursuant to Article 19, Contractor’s total engineering hours to complete the Work, including hours before and after issuance of NTP, shall not exceed the following: 
 Morgantown =        275,000 hours 
 Chalk Point =            253,000 hours 
 Dickerson =              242,000 hours 
 Any hours in excess of the capped amount shall be the Contractor’s sole expense and shall not be included in the Actual Costs. 
 11. PRICE 
 11.1        EPC Total Compensation . “EPC Total Compensation” is the sum of Project Compensation (Section 11.2) plus the Performance Incentives (Section 11.4.2), plus the
Underrun Bonus (Section 11.6), plus the Guarantee Costs to be paid by Owner (Section 11.3). 
 11.2        Project Compensation . “Project Compensation” is calculated in accordance with Article 13. 
 11.3        Guarantee Costs . 
   11.3.1        Classification of Guarantee Costs . The “Guarantee
Costs” for Work performed on a System is the sum of the costs for Actual Home Office Labor Costs, Actual Field Non-Manual Labor Costs, Actual Self-Performed Field Manual Services Costs, and Actual Third Party Expenses as described in
Sections 10.2.2 through 10.2.5 incurred after the date of the first occurrence of an Initial Performance Test that does not satisfy the applicable Performance Guarantees, plus any liquidated damages under Section 8.2, but excluding such actual

calculation of EPC Total Compensation payable by Owner. Guarantee Costs that are identified below as Contractor’s sole responsibility shall not be included in the calculation of EPC Total Compensation payable by Owner. The final
responsibility for Guarantee Costs shall be determined as follows: 
     11.3.2.2.1        If Actual Cost is less than the Target Price, and Guarantee Cost is less than the difference between Target Price and Actual Cost, then Owner shall be
responsible for paying Contractor for the Guarantee Costs. 
     11.3.2.2.2        If Actual Cost is less than the Target Price, and Guarantee Cost is greater than the difference between Target Price and Actual Cost, then Owner shall be
responsible for paying the Guarantee Costs up to an amount equal to the difference between Target Price and Actual Cost. Contractor shall be solely responsible, and Owner shall not pay Contractor, for Guarantee Cost in excess of such difference
up to the limits of liability as set forth in Article 21. Owner shall be responsible for paying the Guarantee Cost beyond the limits of liability set forth in Article 21. 
     11.3.2.2.3        If Actual Cost is greater than the Target
Price, then Contractor shall be responsible, and Owner shall not pay, for Guarantee Cost up to the limits of liability set forth in Article 21. Owner shall be responsible for paying Guarantee Cost beyond the limits of liability set forth in

 11.4      Incentives 
 11.4.1      Blank 
 11.4.2      Performance Incentives . The following incentives (the “Performance
Incentives” ) can be earned by Contractor based on its performance: 
    11.4.2.1    Early Completion of Work During Planned Outages . If an outage is planned exclusively for Contractor, and the Contractor completes its Work during the outage early so that the outage
duration is reduced and Owner is able to benefit from this early completion, Owner shall pay Contractor the following incentive: 
   Morgantown =                $35,000 per Unit per day 
   Chalk Point
=                   $25,000 per Unit per day 
   Dickerson =                     $15,000 per Unit per day 
 11.4.2.1.1      For the purpose of calculation of the above incentive, the outage start shall
be 07:00 on the start date and the outage end shall be 23:59 on the end date. Each day of early completion shall be calculated from the end date and time. The following examples illustrate the implementation of this incentive and are for
intended solely for clarification purposes: 
 1.      If an outage at Morgantown was to be
completed on August 31, 2009, and the outage is complete on August 30, 2009, at 23:00 hours, Owner shall owe Contractor an incentive of $35,000. 
 2.      If an outage at Morgantown was to be completed on August 31, 2009, and the outage is complete on August 30, 2009, at 08:00 hours, Owner shall owe Contractor
an incentive of $35,000. 
 3.      If the outage at Morgantown was to be completed on
August 31, 2009, and the outage is complete on August 31, 2009, at 02:00 hours, Owner shall owe Contractor an incentive of $0.00. 
 11.4.2.1.2      The early completion payment for each System shall be paid at Substantial Completion for that System. 
    11.4.2.2      Safety, Schedule and Quality Incentive . 

  11.4.2.2.1      During the progress of the Work, the following performance
parameters shall be measured: 
   11.4.2.2.1.1    Safety, on a Per-Facility
basis. This incentive includes incentives based on Contractor’s safety record each calendar quarter, and also its safety record for each Facility. The incentive for Contractor’s safety record during a calendar quarter shall be paid if
Contractor has met the criteria set forth in the table below. This incentive shall be assessed for safety and spills specified for once each Calendar Quarter in the Approved Final Milestone Payment Schedule. Such incentive shall be payable as
part of the first payment after the end of the Calendar Quarter. If there is any incentive that is assessed prior to NTP due to the Contractor, such incentive amount shall be paid with the first safety incentive payment after NTP.

  

 56 

 If Contractor does not meet the standard in some of the specified quarters,
however meets the standard for the Facility as a whole, the unpaid safety incentive shall be considered earned at Substantial Completion of the last System of the Facility.

installation (defects in materials, non-compliance with drawings and specifications not addressed) that have not been corrected. The report card for the framework that reflects the evaluation of this performance will be mutually agreed to by
the Parties. 
 11.4.2.2.1.3        Schedule, including completion of
Milestones with zero delay. This incentive shall be payable if no delay occurs. Incentives not earned in specific Milestones shall not be earned at the end of the Project even though the overall Project was within schedule. 
 11.4.2.2.2      The following percentages shall be applied to the Milestone Progress Payment
as an incentive for Contractor to meet the performance parameters identified in Section 11.4.2.2.1 above: 
 Safety =        0.5% of each milestone 
 Quality
=        0.25% of each milestone

 12. PAYMENT TERMS 
 12.1        Payments Generally. 
 12.1.1        Owner shall pay Contractor the EPC Total Compensation in accordance with this Agreement and shall make all payments if and when due under this Agreement. Wherever Owner’s
consent or approval is required, such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld. 
 12.1.2        Owner shall make milestone-based payments in accordance with Section 12.2 through 12.3, Guarantee Payments in accordance with Section 12.13 and Final Payment in accordance with
Section 12.11. 
 12.1.3        The Milestone Progress Payment
payable at the NTP Milestone shall be equal to: (a) Sixty Million Dollars ($60,000,000) (the “NTP Milestone Payment”), plus (b) ten percent (10%) of the sum of (the Target Cost plus the Target Fee of five percent
(5%) applicable to the Target Cost), less (c) the amounts invoiced by Contractor for the Work for the Facility to July 20, 2007. The amounts invoiced but not yet received by Contractor to July 20, 2007 shall be promptly paid
by Owner no later than thirty (30) days from receipt of the original invoices by Owner, without the need for further invoicing by Contractor. The NTP Milestone Payment shall be accounted for pursuant to section 12.3.12, and in any
reconciliation of the balance of the amount of the Milestone Progress Payment made at NTP, the Target Fee of five percent (5%) of the amounts invoiced by Contractor for the Work to July 20, 2007 shall be excluded from such reconciliation.

 12.2        Milestone Progress Payments 
 12.2.1        A schedule (the “ Approved Final Milestone Payment
Schedule ”) showing the dollar amount associated with each Milestone (the “Incremental Payment Amounts”), and the Calendar Quarter in which the Milestone is scheduled to be completed, is included in Exhibit 9. Exhibit 9 also
includes a curve (the “ Cash Curve ”) based on an original schedule of the cumulative value of Incremental Payment Amounts for Milestones scheduled for completion in each Calendar Quarter. So long as the cumulative total to date of
actual Milestone Progress Payments does not exceed the Cash Curve (as is adjusted from time to time by the same Change Order adjustments to the Target Cost and Fee), Contractor is entitled to payment for any completed Milestones irrespective of the
number of Milestones or sequence. Notwithstanding, if the Parties mutually agree that, in certain circumstances, it is in the best interest of the Project to allow for increased expenditures, then Owner shall allow for exceeding the Cash Curve
or shall otherwise adjust the Cash Curve to a higher level to allow the desired expenditures. 
 12.2.2        The Approved Final Milestone Payment Schedule shall be used as the basis for preparation of requests for payment, and payment, of progress payments ( “Milestone Progress
Payments” ) to Contractor. Milestone Progress Payments shall be made in accordance with the Milestones achieved under the 
  

 59 

 Approved Final Milestone Payment Schedule. Upon achievement of a Milestone, Contractor
shall submit to Owner for its approval a request for payment for (i) the corresponding Incremental Payment Amount, (ii) the Target Fee associated with this payment that equals Five Percent (5%) of this payment and (iii) any
Applicable Safety , Schedule and Quality Incentives as set forth in Article 11.4.2.2 . Each request for payment shall identify in detail the amounts to which Contractor considers it is entitled under this Agreement for the applicable Milestone.
As a minimum, each request for payment shall identify the following: 
 12.2.2.1        the Milestone to which the request for payment relates and the corresponding Incremental Payment Amount for that Milestone; 
 12.2.2.2        any amount which Owner is entitled to deduct set off or withhold
from Contractor; 
 12.2.2.3        each request for payment shall
contain the tax identification number of both Owner and Contractor and all such other information as may be required from time to time under applicable tax laws; and 
 12.2.2.4        the total amount which Contractor claims under that request for
payment. 
 12.2.3     Contractor can request a partial payment for a Scheduled
Milestone where the Work included in that Milestone may not be fully completed, provided Contractor shall submit with its request for payment sufficient documentation satisfactory to Owner to substantiate the cost of the associated Work completed.
Each request for partial payment shall identify in detail the amounts to which Contractor considers it is entitled under this Agreement as of the date the applicable Milestone is partially completed. Contractor shall submit to Owner for its approval
a request for payment for (i) the corresponding partial payment amount, (ii) the Target Fee associated with this payment that equals Five Percent (5%) of this payment and (iii) any Applicable Safety , Schedule and Quality
Incentives as set forth in Article 11.4.2.2. As a minimum, each request for payment shall identify the following: 
 12.2.3.1        the Milestone to which the request for payment relates and the corresponding Incremental Payment Amount for that Milestone; 
 12.2.3.2        any amount which Owner is entitled to deduct set off or withhold
from Contractor; 
 12.2.3.3        each request for payment shall
contain the tax identification number of both Owner and Contractor and all such other information as may be required from time to time under applicable tax laws; and 
  

 60 

 12.2.3.4 the total amount which Contractor claims under that request
for payment. 
 12.2.3.5 the calculations that support the percentage of milestone payment that is being
requested. 
 12.2.4     Any request for payment which is not accompanied by all of the
information identified in Section 12.2.2 and 12.2.3 shall not constitute a valid and proper request for payment. 
 12.2.5     In addition, each request for payment shall include documentary evidence of achieving the corresponding Milestone. Owner shall not be obligated to make payment of amounts in the current month that
would cause the cumulative total to date of Milestone Progress Payments to exceed the Cash Curve for the current month, but Owner shall pay such amounts promptly with the next request for payment from Contractor. 
 12.2.6     Owne r shall review each such request for payment and may make such exceptions in
accordance with this Agreement within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt of same. Payment of amounts due and payable shall be made by Owner within fifteen (15) calendar days after the foregoing fifteen -day review period has
expired. Unless Owner within the fifteen-day review period confirms that a request for payment does not include all information and documentation required by this Section 12.2, or that the Work included in the relevant Milestone has not been
completed properly, then Owner shall make payment to Contractor as provided in this Article 12. If Owner discovers an error in Contractor’s request for payment, Owner shall immediately notify Contractor thereof and upon receipt of a correct
request for payment by Contractor shall immediately pay such invoice in accordance with the Agreement. 
 12.2.7     The payment of any Milestone Progress Payment by Owner shall not constitute approval or acceptance by Owner of the Work, any part thereof or of any item of cost in the corresponding request for payment.

 12.3     Quarterly Reconciliation. 
 12.3.1  Each January, April, July, and October, Owner and Contractor shall work together in good faith to
complete, for the immediately preceding Calendar Quarter, the reconciliation activities described in Sections 12.3.2 through 12.3.12. 
 12.3.2  A “ Scheduled Milestone ” is a Milestone which, according to the Approved Final Milestone Schedule as modified in accordance with Section 12.1.1.1.4, was scheduled
to be completed during the Calendar Quarter being 
  

 61 

 reconciled or which was re-sequenced by Contractor from prior or subsequent Calendar
Quarters to occur in the current Calendar Quarter. 
 12.3.3        An
“ Incomplete Milestone ” is a Scheduled Milestone that was not completed during the Calendar Quarter being reconciled. 
 12.3.4        The “ Quarterly Reconciliation Ratio ” is expressed as a percentage, and is the quotient of (i) the sum of the Incremental
Payment Amounts for Scheduled Milestones that were actually completed during the Calendar Quarter, divided by (ii) the total of the Incremental Payment Amounts for all of the Scheduled Milestones for that Calendar Quarter. 
 12.3.5        The “ Quarterly Actual Cost ” is the sum of the costs
incurred by Contractor for its own personnel or paid by Contractor to third parties during the immediately preceding Calendar Quarter that are verified and documented by Contractor’s records for its own personnel or invoices paid by Contractor
to third parties as evidenced by electronic payment receipts or other reliable means of verification and documentation, that are Actual Costs in accordance with Section 10.2. Any costs or expenses about which Contractor and Owner disagree
as being Actual Costs shall not be included in the Quarterly Actual Cost for the purpose of the reconciliation and shall be deemed to be “ Disputed Costs ”. Any Disputed Costs shall be grounds for a Claim by either Party under
Article 33. The quarterly reconciliation process shall be conducted solely for the purposes of determining the amount of interim progress payments, and not for the purpose of determining Project Compensation and EPC Total Compensation. Any agreement
by Owner and Contractor concerning Quarterly Actual Cost, and any determination or agreement of the Parties regarding Disputed Cost, shall not be relevant or binding for the purpose of determining the Project Compensation and EPC Total Compensation.

 12.3.6        The “ Reconcilable Cost ” is the sum
of (i) the Quarterly Actual Cost for a Calendar Quarter multiplied by the Quarterly Reconciliation Ratio for that Calendar Quarter, plus (ii) any Carryover Cost allocated to a delayed Milestone that is completed during that Calendar
Quarter. 
 12.3.7        The “ Quarterly Milestone Payment
Cost ” is the sum of the Milestone Progress Payments made by Owner to Contractor during a Calendar Quarter, less any portion of the Target Fee and Safety, Quality and Schedule Incentive included in those payments. 
 12.3.8        The “ Quarterly Benchmark Cost ” is the sum of
(i) the Quarterly Milestone Payment Cost, (ii) the Quarterly Contingency Allowance, and (iii) any Approved Contingency Draw Requests approved by Owner for that Calendar Quarter. 
  

 62 

 12.3.9     To perform the reconciliation, the
Reconcilable Cost for the Calendar Quarter shall be compared to the Quarterly Milestone Payment Cost paid by Owner to Contractor for the immediately preceding Calendar Quarter and the Quarterly Benchmark Cost for that Calendar Quarter, as follows:

 12.3.9.1        Should the Reconcilable Cost be less than the
Quarterly Milestone Payment Cost then the difference shall be deemed an “ Excess Payment .” Any Excess Payment shall be deducted from any amount otherwise due and payable by Owner to Contractor under the next payment request
submitted by Contractor to Owner. Such amounts shall not be treated as Contingency and shall be available to Contractor in subsequent Calendar Quarters by the use of an internal change order without the need for a Contingency Draw
Request. If no further payment requests are to be submitted by Contractor to Owner, then the Excess Payment shall be credited to Owner if due following final reconciliation as set forth in Section 12.11.2 and the calculation of the EPC
Total Compensation and Target Final Payment pursuant to Section 12.11.2 and Article 13. 
 12.3.9.2        Should the Reconcilable Cost be greater than the Quarterly Milestone Payment Cost and less than the Quarterly Benchmark Cost, then the difference between the Quarterly Milestone
Payment Cost and the Reconcilable Cost shall be deemed a “ Payable Cost ”. Contractor shall add the Payable Cost to its next payment request to Owner. If no further payment requests are to be submitted by Contractor to Owner,
then Contractor shall submit a separate payment request for the Payable Cost and Owner shall make payment on such application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement relating to requests for payment. 
 12.3.10   Should the Reconcilable Cost be greater than the Quarterly Benchmark Cost then: 
 12.3.10.1        Contractor shall submit a supplemental Contingency Draw Request to
support the difference between the Reconcilable Cost and the Quarterly Benchmark Cost, which shall be subject to approval by Owner in accordance with Section 12.6.4; and. 
 12.3.10.2        the difference between the Quarterly Milestone Payment Cost and
the Quarterly Benchmark Cost shall be a Payable Cost and shall be included in a subsequent payment request, and paid by Owner, as provided Section 12.3.9.2; and 
  

 63 

 12.3.11        A “ Carryover
Cost ” is a cost that is excluded from reconciliation on account of one or more Incomplete Milestones. If there are no Incomplete Milestones during a Calendar Quarter, then the Reconciliation Ratio shall be one (1.0) and there
shall be no Carryover Cost from that Calendar Quarter. If there are one or more Incomplete Milestones during a Calendar Quarter, then the Reconciliation Ratio is less than one (1.0) and the Carryover Cost from that Calendar Quarter
shall be (i) the Quarterly Actual Cost multiplied by (ii) the difference between one (1.0) and the Quarterly Reconciliation Ratio. If there is one Incomplete Milestone during the Calendar Quarter, the Carryover Cost shall be
assigned to that Incomplete Milestone. If there is more than one Incomplete Milestone during the Calendar Quarter, then the Carryover Cost shall allocated and assigned to the Incomplete Milestones in amounts proportional to the Incremental
Payment Amounts associated with each such Incomplete Milestone. The Carryover Cost assigned to any Incomplete Milestone shall be added to the Payable Cost for the Calendar Quarter in which that Incomplete Milestone is completed. 
 12.3.12        The NTP Milestone payment referred to in
Section 12.1.3 shall be excluded from the reconciliation described in Sections 12.3.2 through 12.3.11 for the Calendar Quarters beginning with the month the NTP is issued and ending with the month that is twelve (12) months after
NTP. Beginning with the thirteenth (13 th ) month after
NTP, the NTP Milestone payment referred to in Section 12.1.3 shall be added back to the Quarterly Actual Cost at the rate of twelve million dollars ($12 million) for each Calendar Quarter until the total of such NTP Milestone Payment
amount is accounted for in the reconciliation process. 
 12.4 Blank 
 12.5 Payments not made in accordance with Sections 12.2.6, 12.3.12., 12.8, 12.11.2, 12.13 shall be subject to late payment interest at the prime rate reported in the Wall Street Journal on the date
such payment is due and payable, plus 1%. 
 12.6 Contingency 
 12.6.1    The “ Quarterly Contingency Allowance Limit ” for each Calendar Quarter is
One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00). Contractor shall be allowed access and use of the Quarterly Contingency Allowance Limit without prior approval of the Owner. Any unused portion of the Quarterly Contingency
Allowance Limit shall not be subject to carryover. 
 12.6.2    Contractor shall attempt to
identify, as early as practicable, any events, causes, conditions, trends or occurrences that are likely to cause the Actual Costs during a Calendar Quarter to be greater than Contractor’s original estimate of the cost of the Work to be
performed during that Calendar Quarter by an amount greater than the Quarterly Contingency Allowance. Without limiting Contractor’s rights and other obligations under the Agreement, including its rights 
  

 64 

 
and obligations under Article 19, Contractor shall give notice to Owner, in the form of a written “ Contingency Draw Request ”, of all such events, causes, conditions or
occurrences of which Contractor becomes aware .  The Contingency Draw Request shall identify and describe (i) the anticipated or actual magnitude of the cost overrun, (ii) the events, circumstances, conditions or occurrences
giving rise to the cost overrun, and (iii) the individual incurred or anticipated cost items involved. 
 12.6.3    When complete information is not readily available, Contractor shall issue a “ Contingency Draw Notification ” including such information as is reasonably available at the time. Contractor
may convert a Contingency Draw Notification to a Contingency Draw Request by providing the information specified in Section 12.6.2. While such notification cannot form part of the quarterly reconciliation process, the notification will
provide a basis for more expeditious consideration by Owner of a cost, when it is converted to a Contingency Draw Request. 
 12.6.4    Upon receipt by Owner of a Contingency Draw Request, Owner and Contractor will discuss any measures that Contractor has taken, and any additional steps that Contractor or
Owner might take, to minimize or eliminate the potential cost overrun and any time limits or other practical limitations relating to such additional steps. Owner and Contractor shall make a good-faith effort to work collaboratively to determine
what work-around steps or alternate measures may be appropriate. Owner may by written notice to Contractor, based on these discussions and collaborative efforts, approve a Contingency Draw Request in whole or in part. Any dispute with respect
to Owner’s approval of Contingency Draw Request shall be subject to provisions of Article 33.5. 
 12.7  The quarterly
reconciliation process shall be conducted solely for the purposes of assisting in the determination of the amount of interim progress payments, and not for the purpose of determining Project Compensation and EPC Total Compensation. Any use of
the Quarterly Contingency Allowance, approval of a Contingency Draw Request, or determination or agreement of the Parties regarding Disputed Cost, shall not be relevant or binding for the purpose of the determining the amount of Project Compensation
and EPC Total Compensation. 
 12.8  Retention . Owner shall retain from each payment made for each Milestone Progress Payment
pursuant to Section 12.2.1, Payable Cost pursuant to Section 12.3.9.2, and Carryover Cost pursuant to 12.3.11 (when paid), ten percent (10%) of the amount due and payable to Contractor; provided, however, that no such retention shall
be withheld from the amount of the Milestone Progress Payment made at the time of issuance of the NTP pursuant to section 12.1.3 nor from the payment of invoices outstanding to July 20, 2007. Upon Substantial Completion of each System,
Owner shall remit to Contractor fifty percent (50%) of the amount retained with respect to such System. Owner shall remit the balance of the retention in the Final Payment. 
  

 65 

 12.9  A Change Order that increases or decreases the Cost Element and/or the Fee Element shall
also increase or decrease the amount of each Milestone Progress Payment in the Approved Final Milestone Payment Schedule. The amount of the increase or decrease to each Milestone Progress Payment shall be calculated by multiplying the increase
or decrease in the Contract Price stated in the Change Order times the Incremental Percentage for each such Milestone. In addition, the amount of a Milestone Progress Payment may be changed pursuant to Section 12.2.1 or by mutual agreement
of the Parties in writing. Other than as provided in this Section 12.9, the Milestone Progress Payments contained in the Approved Final Milestone Payment Schedule shall not be increased or decreased. 
 12.10  Conditions of Payments; Withholdings, Set-Offs . 
 12.10.1    Material Breach . Notwithstanding Sections 12.1, 12.11, and 12.13, Owner may withhold
payment to Contractor pursuant to Section 12.10.3 if Contractor is in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement. 
 12.10.2    Required Submittals . Notwithstanding Section 12.1.2, Owner will not be required to make any payment to Contractor until Contractor has provided the submittals
described in Sections 12.2.2 and 12.2.3 and any other lien-waiver documentation as Owner may reasonably request and which is not inconsistent with standard practice in similar construction projects in the State of Maryland. 
   12.10.2.1      Progress Reports . In order for each request for payment to
be valid, Contractor must have submitted to Owner all monthly Progress Reports required under Section 8.2.1.1. if due prior to the date of such request for payment. 
   12.10.2.2      Partial Lien Waivers . In order to be valid, each request
for payment submitted by Contractor must be accompanied by partial lien waivers and releases in the form attached as Exhibit 16 executed by Contractor and all Subcontractors with whom Contractor has a direct contract or purchase order, and who
submitted an invoice or application for payment to Contractor more than thirty (30) days prior to Contractor’s application for payment to Owner. In addition, and at Owner’s request, Contractor shall submit such lien waivers of
any and all other Subcontractors who may have the right to pursue a mechanic’s or materialman’s lien under Applicable Law. 
   12.10.2.3      Full Lien Release  In order to be valid, Contractor’s invoice for the final payment from Owner under this Agreement must be
accompanied by full lien releases and waivers executed by Contractor and all Subcontractors which have provided equipment or materials or performed work at the Site in the prior 180 days. 
  

 66 

      12.10.2.4      Form of Waivers and Releases . The lien waivers and releases required from Contractor under this Section 12.10.2 must be in the form and substance as set
forth in Exhibit 16. 
      12.10.2.5      Lien
Bonds . Notwithstanding the other provisions of Section 12.10, Contractor may substitute lien discharge bonds sufficient under applicable law to remove any lien attaching to a Site, or other security reasonably acceptable to Owner in lieu
of the lien waivers required hereunder. 
 12.10.3  Withholding to Protect Owner from Loss .
Notwithstanding Sections 12.1 through 12.9, Owner may, without prejudice to any other rights Owner may have under this Agreement, withhold all or any portion of any payment to such extent as may be reasonably necessary to protect Owner from loss due
to: (i) defective or incomplete Work by Contractor or any of its Subcontractors; (ii) claims filed by third parties arising out of Contractor’s performance of the Work for which Contractor has an indemnity obligation or other
responsibility under the Agreement; (iii) failure of Contractor to make payments to Subcontractors (other than as a result of non-payment by Owner to Contractor); (iv) reasonable evidence that a System will not be completed by the
Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date for such System and that the retention, Letter of Credit and unpaid balance would not be adequate to cover liquidated damages for the anticipated cumulative delay on all Systems; (v) damage to Owner caused
by Contractor or its Subcontractors (provided, that if such damage is only partially caused by Contractor or its Subcontractors, Owner may only withhold a portion of such damage equal to the relative degree of fault of Contractor or its
Subcontractors in causing such damage) for which Contractor has an indemnity obligation or other liability under this Agreement; (vi) liens filed against a System, Facility, Site or any other property of Owner by Subcontractors which Contractor
fails to remove, discharge or bond over; or (vii) failure by Contractor to maintain the insurance required by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor may substitute bonds or other reasonable security for specific items in
question under Sections 12.10.3.2 or 12.10.3.3, subject to the agreement of Owner which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 
      12.10.3.1      In addition, upon prior notice to Contractor, Owner may withhold or retain any Milestone Progress Payment, payment or part
thereof in any of the following circumstances: 
 12.10.3.1.1      A Contractor
Event of Default shall have occurred; 
 12.10.3.1.2      Any lien or charge has
been created on the Facility, the Work or any portion thereof by Contractor or a Subcontractor based on Work for which Owner has made payment to the Contractor pursuant to this Agreement, and such lien or charge has not been discharged; or

  

 67 

 12.10.3.1.3    Owner has performed any part of the
Work in lieu of Contractor. 
         12.10.3.2      Lien Bonds . Notwithstanding Section 12.10.3(vi) and 12.10.3.1.2, Owner will release any payments withheld due to any lien if
Contractor obtains a lien discharge bond which is (i) issued by a surety reasonably acceptable by Owner, (ii) in form and substance satisfactory to Owner, and (iii) in an amount sufficient under applicable law to remove the lien from
Owner’s property. By posting a lien discharge bond, however, Contractor will not be relieved of any obligations (including its indemnity obligations) under this Agreement. The premium for any such lien discharge bond shall be treated as an
Allocable Cost pursuant to Section 11.5. 
         12.10.3.3      Payment after Removal of Cause . When Contractor has remedied the cause for withholding any payment and has furnished satisfactory evidence
of such remediation to Owner, Owner will make the payment so withheld to Contractor within ten (10) calendar days following Owner’s receipt of such evidence. If Contractor, after receipt of notice from Owner, fails or refuses to remedy the
cause for withholding such payment within the time specified in the notice, then Owner may, without prejudice to any other rights Owner may have under this Agreement, remedy it , but such action by Owner will not be or be considered to be a waiver
of any default by Contractor under this Agreement. 
 12.10.4      Set Off

require all Subcontractors performing work on a cost-plus basis to keep) full, detailed and accurate records and accounts thereof, showing the Actual Costs of all items of labor, materials, supplies, services and other expenditures of whatever
nature for which payment or reimbursement is authorized or required under this Agreement, and the system of accounting shall be satisfactory to Owner. Contractor shall retain and preserve all such records for not less than three (3) years
after Target Final Payment. 
  

 68 

 12.11.2.        At the time that
Contractor submits a Notice of Final Completion for Work performed under the Target pricing method (Section 13.2), Contractor shall submit to Owner on an Open Book basis a final accounting of all Actual Costs and Guarantee Costs incurred in
performing such Work, in accordance with Section 10.2 and Section 11.3. Owner’s accountants will review Contractor’s accounting and may request such further information as is necessary for Owner to substantiate the
accounting and to determine the amount of Actual Costs and Guarantee Costs incurred. Based on its review of Contractor’s accounting, Owner shall determine and pay, within thirty (30) days after the date of Final Completion of a
Facility, the unpaid amount (excluding Guarantee Costs to be paid at a later date pursuant to Sections 12.13) of EPC Total Compensation for such Work (the “Target Final Payment” ) and shall release all remaining retention amounts,
less any amounts that may be due and payable by Contractor to Owner. Should Owner’s review of Contractor’s accounting show that a net amount is owed by Contractor to Owner, Contractor shall pay such amount to Owner within thirty
(30) days of demand for such payment by Owner. 
 12.11.3        When application for Target Final Payment is submitted by the Contractor, the Contractor shall assure that the following documents or conditions have been previously completed,
submitted and approved by Owner: 
         12.11.3.1      Final lien waiver documents in the form attached as Exhibit 16;

         12.11.3.8      Spare parts list; and 
         12.11.3.9      Mill certifications. 
 12.12  Liens After Final Payment . Should there be any claim, obligation, or lien existing for Work for which Target Final Payment has been made, then Contractor shall refund to
Owner all monies that Owner shall have paid or may be obligated to pay in satisfying, discharging, or defending against any such claim, obligation or lien or any action brought or adjustment recovered thereon, including all costs and
expenses, including attorney’s fees and disbursements incurred in connection therewith.

Contractor’s obligations to correct the Work, to repair or replace affected parts or systems and to retest, due to failure to satisfy the Equivalent Availability Guarantee as set forth in Sections 7.2.1.3 and 7.2.2. To the extent that
Owner is responsible pursuant to Section 11.3.2.2 for paying such Guarantee Costs, payment of same shall be made within thirty (30) days after the Equivalent Availability Guarantee is satisfied. 
     12.13.2.        Prior to Target Final Payment .
Guarantee Costs for which Owner is responsible for payment pursuant to Section 11.3.2.2, that are incurred prior to Target Final Payment and are not addressed under Section 12.13.1 shall be paid to Contractor in the Target Final Payment.

     12.13.3.        After Target Final
Payment . In the event that Contractor incurs Guarantee Costs subsequent to Target Final Payment that are not addressed under Section 12.13.1, and all of Contractor’s responsibility for Guarantee Costs has been exhausted, then
Contractor may submit monthly requests for payment to Owner for such Guarantee Costs, and Owner will make payment on such requests for payment in accordance with the accounting procedure set forth in Sections 12.11.1 and 12.11.2. 
 13. PRICING METHOD 
 13.1      Blank . 
 13.2.     Target Price Method
.. The provisions of this Section 13.2 apply to the “Target” pricing method. 
     13.2.1.    The “ Contract Price ” under this method is the sum of the following: 
     Target Cost 
     50% Contingency

such Change in Applicable Law. For purposes hereof, a “Change in Applicable Law” means the adoption, imposition, promulgation, cancellation, modification or change in the interpretation or application of, after the execution of
this Agreement of any state, city, county or other Applicable Law, which affects Contractor’s cost or performance of the Work; provided, however, that a change in law or regulation relating to (i) gross receipts, income, or other similar
taxes, or (ii) immigration or naturalization, shall not constitute a Change in Applicable Law for the purposes of this Section 19.9. 
 19.10    Change Order Due to Escalation in Actual Self-Performed Field Manual Services Costs. Contractor’s initial hourly costs for Actual Self-Performed Field Manual
Services are set forth in Exhibit 8B. On or before January 1 and July 1 of each year, Contractor shall submit to Owner a report (the “Escalation Report”) showing the amount of increase or decrease in such hourly cost that
Contractor request for the upcoming six-month period, based on changes in labor surveys and published reports of the cost for such labor. Each Escalation Report shall contain (i) the man-hours of labor for the remaining Work as set forth in
Exhibit 8B, and (ii) such information as Owner shall reasonably require to demonstrate the amount of labor cost escalation or de-escalation reported in the indices or published reports for such hourly labor. Owner shall review and verify
each Escalation Report within fifteen (15) days of receipt. To the extent that such escalation or de-escalation is justified by the Contractor’s Escalation Report, the Contract Price shall be adjusted by Change Order in the
amount of the increase in hourly costs multiplied by the remaining Work hours as set forth in Exhibit 8B, without any mark-up for Target Fee. The exclusive method for modifying the Contract Price based on increases or decreases in Contractor’s
hourly labor costs under Section 10.2.4 shall be a

  

 82 

 
Change Order pursuant to this Section 19.10 and such Change Order shall be Contractor’s sole and exclusive remedy for escalation of Actual Self-Performed Field Manual Services Costs.

 19.11  Change Order Due to Escalation in Home Office Labor Costs and Actual Field Non-Manual Labor Costs
.. Contractor’s initial hourly rates for Home Office Labor and Field Non-Manual Labor are set forth in Exhibit 8D. On or before January 15 of each year, Contractor shall submit to Owner a Change Order Notice for a five percent
(5%) increase in such rates. Upon submission of a proper Change Order Notice and subject to the other Sections of this Article 19, Contractor shall be entitled to a Change Order increasing the Target Cost by the product of the increase in
rates multiplied by the man-hours for the remaining Work hours as set forth in Exhibit 8B, and the amount of the increase in the Target Fee shall be calculated in accordance with Section 19.14.4. The exclusive method for modifying the
Contract Price based on increases or decreases in Contractor’s hourly cost under Section 10.2.2 and 10.2.3 shall be a Change Order pursuant to this Section 19.11. 
   19.12        Change Order Due to Escalation of Commodities
.. Within fifteen (15) days after the date that a firm and enforceable price is established for the Commodity, Contractor shall submit a Change Order Notice. The Change Order shall be based on the change in the value of the index as set
forth in Exhibit 8F, the quantity to which this price is applicable and the baseline price for the Commodity as set forth in Exhibit 8F. Upon submission of a proper Change Order Notice and subject to the conditions of Section 10.2.5 the other
Sections of this Article 19, upon Owner’s approval, Contractor shall be entitled a Change Order to increase or decrease the Target Cost and the Target Fee in accordance with Section 19.14. 
     19.13    Changes Involving Schedule Extensions . Within five (5) Business Days
of submission of a Change Order Notice under Section 19.2.1, or within ten (10) Business Days after submission of a Change Order Request under Section 19.2.2, the Contractor shall prepare and submit, on an Open Book basis, an analysis
of the delay, if any, caused by such Change to the critical path progress of the Work. Contractor shall supplement this analysis on an Open Book basis with such other information as Owner may reasonably require. Any Change Order extending any
date in the Approved Project Schedule will only extend such date(s) by a number of calendar days, at a maximum, equal to the number of calendar days of delay Directly Caused to the actual critical path of the Work at the time of the event giving
rise to the Change Order and only to the extent that such delay to the critical path progress of the Work has been demonstrated by Contractor to Owner’s reasonable satisfaction. 
     19.14      Changes to the Contract Price. Within five (5) Business Days of
submission of a Change Order Notice under Section 19.2.1, or within ten (10) Business Days after submission of a Change Order Request under Section 19.2.2, the Contractor shall prepare and submit, on an Open Book basis, an analysis of
the impact of the Change on the Cost Element for the System, Facility, or Project, as the context may require.
  

 83 

 Contractor shall supplement this analysis on an Open Book basis with such other information as Owner may
reasonably require. The amount of an increase or decrease in the Cost Element and Fee Element, if any, resulting from a Change will be determined and will be included in the Change Order as follows: 
 19.14.1        in a lump sum amount proposed by Contractor and accepted by Owner; or

 19.14.2        if Owner does not accept the lump sum amount proposed
by Contractor, by unit prices agreed upon by the Parties; or 
 19.14.3        if neither of the methods set forth in Sections 19.14.1 or 19.14.2 is agreed upon after good faith negotiation by the Parties, Contractor will provide Owner with such purchase orders,
invoices, Subcontractor quotes and other documents and records as Owner may require to verify, to its satisfaction, Contractor’s incremental Direct Costs or savings of effecting such Change (or Directly Caused by the event necessitating such
Change) ( “Contractor’s Additional Direct Costs or Savings” ). All equipment, materials, labor, equipment rental and other items associated with such Change will be purchased by Contractor at competitive market
prices. Owner will, upon verifying Contractor’s Additional Direct Costs or Savings associated with such Change, adjust the Cost Element by an amount equal to such Contractor’s Additional Direct Costs or Savings, the calculation of
these shall be in accordance with the methodology used to develop the Target Cost. Owner will make appropriate adjustments to the amount of the applicable Incremental Payment Amount in the Approved Final Milestone Payment Schedule. 
 19.14.4        A Change Order that increases or decreases the Cost Element shall
also increase or decrease the Fee Element in an amount calculated by multiplying the percentage Fee times the amount of the increase or decrease in the Cost Element. The amount of increase or decrease in the Cost Element and the Fee Element
shall be stated separately on each Change Order. Adjustment in the Fee Element as provided in this Section 19.14.4 shall be Contractor’s sole remedy and sole means for adjusting its margins for profit, overhead, or similar costs due to
Changes in the Work, and Contractor expressly waives any claims for modification of such margins based on cardinal change or other legal or equitable theories. 
 19.15     Continued Performance Pending Resolution of Disputes . Notwithstanding and pending resolution of any dispute with respect to a Change, Contractor must
proceed, upon written notice from Owner, with the performance of any Change ordered by Owner. Contractor will be reimbursed provisionally on a time and material basis for any such Change ordered by Owner that increases the scope of the
Work. For disputed Changes that do not increase the scope of the Work, Contractor may request provisional reimbursement. Should Owner deny such provisional reimbursement, Contractor may submit a request for provisional reimbursement to the
DRB pursuant to Section 33.5. 
  

 84 

 19.16    Owner’s Right to Offset Changes . Whenever it
is determined that any Changes may require an extension of the Approved Project Schedule, Owner may, at its sole discretion and to the extent possible, elect to offset all or any part of such extension with other Changes (including but not limited
to Changes to the Contract Price) that will maintain the Approved Project Schedule. Whenever it is determined that any Changes may require an increase in the Contract Price, Owner may at its sole discretion and to the extent possible, elect to
offset all or any part of such increase with other Changes (including but not limited to Changes to the Approved Project Schedule) that will maintain the Contract Price. 
 19.17    Other Work on Site . Owner reserves the right to perform, and to award separate contracts for the performance of, construction or operations related or ancillary
to other work on the Site. Contractor will in good faith coordinate its performance of the Work with any activities of Owner and/or other contractors operating at the Site or at the Facility. 
 20. FORCE MAJEURE 
 20.1      Force Majeure . At each particular Site, an event of “Force Majeure” will mean any act or event that prevents or delays the affected Party from performing its obligations
under this Agreement or complying with any conditions required by the other Party under this Agreement if such act or event is beyond the reasonable control and not the fault of the affected Party and such Party has been unable by the exercise of
all reasonable efforts to prevent, overcome or mitigate the effects of such act or event. To the extent the foregoing conditions are satisfied, Force Majeure events will include, but not be limited to:

pandemic, civil or military insurrection, expropriation or confiscation of facilities, public disorders, sabotage, riots; and 
 20.1.3      national or regional strikes and national or regional labor disturbances; provided , however, that unavailability of labor and strikes and labor
disturbances confined to the work forces of Contractor and/or its Subcontractors are explicitly excluded from a Force Majeure event and are the sole responsibility of Contractor; 
 provided, further, that Force Majeure shall not include (i) reasonably anticipatable weather conditions at the Site, (ii) events caused by negligence or willful misconduct of the Party claiming
Force Majeure, or (iii) failure by a Subcontractor to perform in accordance with the terms of its subcontract or purchase order, unless such failure is caused by the Subcontractor being a Party affected by Force Majeure as defined in this
Section 20.1. 
  

 85 

 20.2      Burden of Proof . The burden of proof as
to whether Force Majeure has occurred will be upon the Party claiming a Force Majeure event. 
 20.3      Obligations Excused . If either Party is rendered wholly or partly unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement because of Force Majeure, Contractor will be entitled to a Change
Order pursuant to Section 19.3, and Owner will be excused from whatever performance is affected by Force Majeure to the extent so affected; provided that: 
 20.3.1      the Party claiming Force Majeure, within seventy-two (72) hours after knowing
of the occurrence of or the effect of the Force Majeure, gives the other Party written notice describing the particulars of the occurrence; 
 20.3.2      any suspension of performance is of no greater scope and of no longer duration than is reasonably required by the Force Majeure; 
 20.3.3      the Party claiming Force Majeure uses its best efforts to overcome or mitigate the
effects of such occurrence; 
 20.3.4      when the non-performing Party is able
to resume performance of its obligations hereunder, that Party will give the other Party written notice to that effect and will promptly resume such performance; and 
 20.3.5      No Force Majeure event shall excuse Owner’s payment obligations. 

20.4      Costs . Any additional Direct Cost incurred by Contractor in performing Work, and
Directly Caused by Force Majeure shall not be grounds for an increase in the Target Cost by Change Order pursuant to Section 19.3 until the aggregate of such Direct Costs shall equal or exceed two million dollars ($2,000,000), and Contractor
shall only be entitled to a Change Order based on Force Majeure for the additional Direct Costs incurred by Contractor that exceed two million dollars ($2,000,000). Any costs incurred by Owner by reason of or Directly Caused by Force Majeure
will be borne by Owner.

        22.2.1      Not later than ten (10) Business Days after issuance of the LNTP, Contractor has provided a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the purchase order
issued by Owner to Contractor for the Work to be performed under the LNTP, excluding the value of the purchase order allocated to Systems Equipment to be purchased from Subcontractors. Contractor shall use good faith efforts to obtain from such
Subcontractors, to the extent commercially practicable, letters of credit securing the performance of the Subcontractors. Such letters of credit shall be in the greatest amount practicable and shall be in favor of and drawable by Owner until such
time as Contractor satisfies its obligation to provide the $50,000,000 letter of credit required by Section 22.2.3. 
        22.2.2      Not later than ten (10) Business Days after issuance of the INTP, Contractor shall amend the Letter of Credit or
provide a new substitute Letter of Credit equal to the amount of the purchase orders issued by Owner to Contractor for the Work performed or to be performed under the LNTP and INTP, excluding the value of the purchase order allocated to Systems
Equipment to be purchased from Subcontractors. Contractor shall use good faith efforts to obtain from such Subcontractors, to the extent commercially practicable, letters of credit securing the performance of the Subcontractors. Such letters of

Letter of Credit equal to fifty million dollars ($50,000,000). The Letter of Credit in this Section 22.2 shall remain in effect and drawable by Owner until Substantial Completion of all Work for the last System on each Facility whereupon, the
amount of the Letter of Credit will be stepped down by an amount proportionate to the relative Target Cost of such Facility to the sum of the Target Costs for all three Facilities. The Letter of Credit shall be promptly returned to Contractor upon
the last System of the last Facility achieving Substantial Completion. To the extent that any replacement of a Letter of Credit is required to maintain compliance with this Section 22.2, Contractor shall deliver the replacement Letter of
Credit to Owner no later than thirty (30) days prior to the date when the existing Letter of Credit will expire. In the event of a failure to comply with the preceding sentence, Owner shall be entitled to draw upon the existing Letter of
Credit prior to the expiration thereof and take such further action to protect its interests pursuant to this Agreement. 
 22.3        Performance Bond and Payment Bond . To further assure Contractor’s performance under this Agreement, within ten (10) Business Days after the issuance of the NTP for
FGD Systems, Contractor will furnish to Owner a performance bond and a payment bond each having a face value of one hundred and fifty-five million dollars ($155,000,000). The combined penal sum of both bonds in the aggregate shall not exceed
the face value of either bond. Such performance and payment bonds shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit 12. The payment bond shall remain in effect and drawable until Final Completion. The performance bond will remain in
effect and drawable until Substantial Completion. The face value of the performance bond shall be stepped down as each Facility achieves Substantial Completion and the face value of the payment bond shall be stepped down as each facility
achieves Final Completion (the step-down being in an amount proportionate to the relative target Cost of the Facility to the sum of the Target Costs of all three Facilities). The payment bond shall be promptly returned to Contractor upon the last
Facility achieving Final Completion. At Substantial Completion of the last Facility, the performance bond provided at NTP shall be replaced with a performance bond covering all obligations of Contractor under Article 14 and Sections 7.2.2 for the
Equivalent Availability Guarantee referred to in Section 7.2.1.3 with a penal sum equal to ten percent (10%) of the Contract Price of the Project (the “Warranty Bond ”). In no event shall the combined penal sum of the
performance bond provided at NTP, and the Warranty Bond be less than ten percent (10%) of the Contract Price for the Project. 
 22.4        Owner Security . No later than ten (10) Business Days of issuance of the NTP for FGD Systems\, Owner shall provide a letter of credit in form and substance acceptable to
Contractor (as shown in Exhibit 11) from a mutually acceptable U.S. financial institution ( “Letter of Credit” ) for an amount of $55,000,000 (the “Owner Security” ). Contractor can request a change in
Owner’s Security to an amount not to exceed $80,000,000 in the event that Contractor’s committed cost exposure increases. 
  

 90 

 Contractor shall include in such request all documents as requested by Owner to justify the increase. If
Owner is satisfied, Owner will amend the Letter of Credit to the approved value. Such amendment shall be issued no later than Ten (10) business days from such approval. The letter of credit in this Section 22.4 shall remain in effect and
drawable by Contractor until release of fifty percent (50%) of the retention at Substantial Completion of each System, whereupon, the amount of the letter of credit will be stepped down by an amount proportionate to the relative Target Cost of
the Facility to the sum of the Target Costs of all three Facilities. The letter of credit shall be promptly returned to Owner upon Substantial Completion of the last System at the last Facility and release of the corresponding fifty percent of
retention for that System. To the extent that any replacement of a Letter of Credit is required to maintain compliance with this Section 22.4, Owner shall deliver the replacement Letter of Credit to Contractor no later than thirty
(30) days prior to the date when the existing Letter of Credit will expire. In the event of a failure to comply with the preceding sentence, Contractor shall be entitled to draw upon the existing Letter of Credit prior to the expiration
thereof and take such further action to protect its interests pursuant to this Agreement. Upon the issuance of the INTP, Owner shall provide to Contractor a parent company guarantee in a form acceptable to Contractor and issued by Mirant North
America, Inc., which shall guarantee the payment obligations of the Owner under this Agreement and the EPC Agreement up to the maximum amount of sixty-two million five hundred thousand dollars ($62,500,000). 
 23. SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION 
 23.1        Right to Stop Work for Cause . If, due to Contractor’s failure (i) to correct defective Work under Section 6.10.2,
(ii) to meet its repair or replacement obligations under Section 28.1; (iii) to meet its safety obligations under Section 6.8; (iv) to meet its obligations to complete Punch-List items as provided in Section 17.5;
(v) to achieve Provisional Acceptance on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after the applicable Guaranteed Provisional Acceptance Date, or (vi) to perform the Work in accordance with the Approved Project Schedule such
that Owner can reasonably deduce that Contractor will not complete the Work necessary to comply with the requirements for an outage in accordance with Section 8.2.1.2, Owner shall be entitled to take any of the Owner-cure actions under such
Sections, then Owner may, by a written order signed by its Authorized Representative, order Contractor to stop performing all or a portion of the Work in order to allow Owner to take such actions. The foregoing right of Owner to stop
Contractor’s performance will not give rise to any duty on the part of Owner to exercise this right for the benefit of Contractor or any other person or entity. In addition, Owner, by written order signed by its Authorized Representative, may
order Contractor to stop performance if the activities of Contractor or Contractor’s Subcontractors reasonably appear to Owner to cause or threaten to cause damage to the property of Owner. In the event of such a stop order, Contractor will not
be entitled to a Change Order extending the Approved Project Schedule. The cost of any delays experienced by Contractor as a result of orders issued by Owner ordering Contractor to stop performance hereunder will be borne by Contractor. Owner’s
right to stop work under this Section 23.1 will be without prejudice to any other right or remedy Owner may have under this Agreement. 
  

 91 

 23.2        Right to Suspend Work for
Convenience . Owner may at any time and from time to time, by a written order signed by its Authorized Representative, suspend (and later reinstate) all or a portion of the Work without terminating this Agreement. Upon receipt of such
order, Contractor will immediately suspend its performance of the Work. In the event of a suspension of the Work, Contractor shall use its best efforts to mitigate potential delays to the date of Substantial Completion and to minimize the amount of
personnel and equipment that is idled and the costs associated with such suspension. If Owner suspends the Work pursuant to this Section, then Contractor will be entitled to a Change Order as described in Section 19.4. 
 23.3        Suspension by Contractor . Subject to Sections 19.15 and 33.6 for amounts
that are disputed in good faith, if Owner fails to pay to Contractor any payment when due under this Agreement and such failure continues for fifteen (15) calendar days after written notice thereof has been received by Owner from Contractor,
and so long as such notice from Contractor to Owner was given at least five (5) days after payment was due, then Contractor may suspend the Work until payment of the amount owing has been received. 
 23.4        Termination by Owner for Convenience . 
        23.4.1      Right to Terminate . Owner
may, at any time and for any reason, terminate all or any part of this Agreement (provided that termination of part of the Agreement shall not be for substantially the entire scope for a Facility, unless Owner decides not to proceed with the Work
for the Facility) for Owner’s convenience and without cause by providing Contractor with written notice regarding the same. In the event of partial termination, the remaining Work under this Agreement shall be performed in accordance with all
of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Target Cost and Fees will be increased or decreased in proportion to the value of the Work terminated. 
        23.4.2      Termination Payment . Within
thirty (30) calendar days of Contractor’s having received notice from Owner under Section 23.4.1, Owner will reimburse Contractor for completed Work and work-in-progress, applicable vendor cancellation charges, demobilization costs,
and reasonable costs to bring the work to an orderly conclusion (collectively the “Termination Payment” ). The Termination Payment will be Contractor’s sole and exclusive remedy for such termination. Owner will not be
liable to Contractor, any Subcontractor or any other party for any damages or indirect, special, incidental costs or consequential liability resulting from such termination, including without limitation, prospective profits on Work not performed or
other consequential or incidental damages. The Parties recognize, agree and acknowledge that Owner’s termination right hereunder is a permitted action under this Agreement (and not a breach hereof or a default hereunder), which right
carries with it the obligation to make the Termination Payment. In the event of termination by Owner for convenience, Contractor’s liability limitations that are expressed as a percentage

  

 92 

 
of the Contract Price shall instead be calculated as a percentage of the actual compensation paid to Contractor. 
        23.4.3      Withholding/Conditions Precedent
.. Notwithstanding Section 23.4.2 Owner may withhold from such Termination Payment any unpaid amounts due from Contractor to Owner under this Agreement. Furthermore, the following will be conditions precedent to Owner’s obligation
to pay Contractor the Termination Payment: (i) Contractor’s executing and delivering all such documents and taking all such steps, including the assignment of Contractor’s contractual rights, as Owner may require for the purpose
of fully vesting in Owner all rights, title and interests of Contractor in and to all subcontracts, purchase orders, warranties, guarantees and other agreements pertaining to the Work; (ii) Contractor’s executing and delivering to Owner
all waivers and releases, in form and substance acceptable to Owner, required to establish that the Systems, the Facility and the Site, and any and all interests, estates or improvements related thereto, are free from any and all claims, liens,

achievement of Final Completion, and/or prior to the termination of this Agreement, Contractor will (i) assign in writing all such warranties and guarantees to Owner; (ii) secure any consents necessary for such assignment from each
Subcontractor; and (iii) deliver to Owner copies of all contracts and subcontracts (unpriced for any Work being performed on a lump sum pricing method) providing for warranties and guarantees enforceable by Owner. Neither Contractor, nor its
Subcontractors will take any action which could release, void, impair or waive any warranties or guarantees on Systems Equipment, materials or services that it procures from others. 
 32.6        Subcontractor Insurance . Except as otherwise agreed or directed by Owner in
writing, Contractor will require all Subcontractors with whom Contractor has a direct contract to obtain, maintain and keep in force (and to require from their lower tier Subcontractors to obtain, maintain and keep in force) during the time in which
they are engaged by Contractor similar insurance coverages, if and as applicable to their respective scopes of services and activities as are required of Contractor pursuant to Section 25.1. The limits for such coverage may be reduced by the
Contractor in which case the Contractor agrees to be solely responsible to Owner, the Financing Parties, claimants or employees for any otherwise un-recovered losses which fall in the area between the required Subcontractor coverage and that which
is actually procured and maintained. Furthermore, Contractor will require of its subcontractors that the policies providing such coverages meet the same requirements as are applicable to Contractor’s policies, as set forth in Article 25.

 32.7        No Privity with Subcontractors . Other than subsequent to an
assignment of a subcontract or purchase order to Owner, Owner will not be deemed by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise to have any contractual obligation to or relationship with any Subcontractor. Furthermore, no Subcontractor will have any
rights against Owner under

  

 105 

 
this Agreement, whether as a third party beneficiary or otherwise. Contractor will include clauses that expressly state the concepts set forth in this Section 32.7 in each subcontract with
Subcontractors. 
 32.8        Assignment of Subcontracts to Owner . In the event
of termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms, Contractor shall assign any or all of its agreements with Subcontractors to Owner at Owner’s request and shall ensure that each such subcontract is assignable to Owner. In the event
of partial termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms, Contractor shall assign the applicable agreements with Subcontractors to Owner at Owner’s request and shall ensure that each such subcontract is assignable to Owner 
 32.9        Directed Payments . From the monies paid by Owner to Contractor, Contractor shall
make payment to Subcontractors, to utilities furnished and Taxes owed by Contractor, to the payment of premiums on surety bonds and insurance, and to any other purpose related to the Project. The Contractor agrees that any liquidating agreement,
pass-through agreement, or other agreement between the Contractor and a Subcontractor that purports to make Owner responsible for paying a Subcontractor for work on the Project is void and unenforceable and deemed to be waived. 
 32.10      Neglect to Pay . Should Contractor neglect or refuse to pay promptly when due any legitimate
or undisputed bill incurred by it pursuant to the Agreement, Owner, after giving Contractor seven (7) calendar days’ notice of its intentions so to do, shall have the right but not the obligation, to pay such bill by joint check made
payable to Contractor and the applicable Subcontractor and such payments shall be accounted for as a payment to Contractor. Owner shall be entitled to offset such amounts against any payments thereafter becoming due to Contractor. The
payment of any bill by Owner pursuant to the foregoing shall not be deemed to cure or waive Contractor’s default, and Owner may exercise any other right or remedy granted by the Agreement or by law or equity. Owner will not make any such
payment, however, without prior consultation with Contractor concerning Contractor’s reason for refusing to pay such bill. 
 33. DISPUTE RESOLUTION 
 33.1        Applicability of
Resolution Procedures . All claims, disputes or other matters in question between the Parties arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement ( “Disputes” ) will be resolved pursuant to this Article 33. 
 33.2        Management Discussions . The Parties agree to make a diligent, good-faith attempt
to resolve all Disputes. If the Authorized Representatives of the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute arising under this Agreement within ten (10) calendar days after notice from one Party to the other, such Dispute will be submitted
promptly to the senior executive officers of the Parties, who will meet, in person or by telephone, not later than ten (10) calendar days after the date such Dispute was submitted to them. In the event that the officers cannot resolve the
Dispute within five (5) Business Days after the matter is submitted to them, then, unless otherwise agreed, the Parties will refer such Dispute to mediation proceedings under Section 33.3. 
  

 106 

 33.3        Mediation . Provided that
the Parties have been unable to resolve a Dispute pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 33.2, the Parties will make a good faith effort to mediate a resolution of the dispute with the assistance of a qualified mediator to be chosen by
agreement of the Parties. In the event that the Parties are unable to agree upon a qualified mediator, a mediator will be designated by the American Arbitration Association ( “AAA” ). Any such mediation will be held in
accordance with the Construction Industry Mediation Rules of the AAA or by such other standards as established by the mediator. Such mediation will be held in Atlanta, Georgia or at such other site as the Parties may agree. If, despite the
Parties’ good faith efforts to mediate a Dispute, such Dispute remains unresolved forty-five (45) calendar days after the first date on which such mediation commenced (or such longer period as the Parties may agree to in writing), then the
Parties may pursue such rights and remedies as may be available under applicable law. 
 33.4        Arbitration . Should a mediation under Section 33.3 be unsuccessful, and so long as the aggregate amount of all disputed Changes, Change Order Notices, Change Order Requests,
Change Orders, and other Disputes, claims, controversies or other matters disputed in good faith between the Parties at one time is equal to or less than twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000), then all such Disputes, controversies or claims
arising out of or related to the Project shall be settled by mandatory and binding “baseball” arbitration in accordance with this Section 33.4, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof;
provided, however, that should such aggregate amount exceed twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000), then arbitration shall not be mandatory and the Parties may elect, by mutual agreement in writing, to have none, any or all such Disputes,
controversies or claims decided by binding or non-binding arbitration, as may be agreed by the Parties. The Parties agree that they will not assert frivolous claims in bad faith in an effort to subvert the purpose of the preceding sentence, which is
to establish an objective standard for distinguishing between situations in which arbitration is mandatory, and situations in which arbitration is not mandatory and will be used only upon agreement of the Parties. Any arbitration pursuant to this
Section 33.4 shall be held in Atlanta, Georgia and conducted pursuant to the Uniform Arbitration Act (2000). The arbitration shall be heard by three arbitrators, who shall be appointed using the process for the selection of the members of
the DRB, and who shall strictly enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event of such arbitration, each Party agrees to produce to the other Party all non-privileged documents that such other Party considers to be related to the
Dispute, including all electronic documents and data in native format. Provided that the other Party is provided a reasonable opportunity to obtain and preserve such electronic data before a Party ceases to maintain it, the requirement that
data be provided in native format shall apply only so long as that electronic data is still maintained in the ordinary course of business. All such documents shall be produced at least six months before the date set for the hearing, and the
initial production shall be supplemented promptly to include any additional documents that come into possession of a Party after the initial production. Each Party shall also provide to the other Party, at least forty-five (45) days before
the hearing or such shorter period as the arbitrators may direct upon application of a Party (but not less than 30 days before the

  

 107 

 
hearing), (i) a copy of all exhibits the Party will introduce at hearing, and a (ii) complete list of all witnesses the Party may call and a detailed summary of their testimony,
including a written report of all expert witnesses in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2)(B). Documents that have not previously been exchanged, and witnesses for whom proper information has not previously been provided, may not be
considered by the arbitrators without a showing of good cause. The attorneys for the Parties and the arbitrators shall have the authority to issue subpoenas for the appearance of witnesses at the hearing and for production of documents
(including documents in the possession of persons other than the Parties) at or in advance of the hearing. At least fifteen (15) days before the date set for the hearing, the Parties will exchange, and provide to the arbitrators, best and
final offers of compromise, which the Parties may amend at any time before the tenth (10 th ) day after the close of the hearing. Within forty-five (45) days after the conclusion of the hearing, the arbitrators shall select the best and final
offer (as amended) of one Party and that offer shall become the award of the arbitrators. At the discretion of Owner, any Subcontractor with whom the Contractor has a direct contract may be joined as a party to an arbitration conducted pursuant to
this Section 33.4. Contractor shall include in each of its subcontracts, to the extent commercially practicable, a provision allowing for such joinder at Owner’s discretion, and an agreement by the Subcontractor to be bound by the
results of such arbitration. Should any Subcontractor oppose the inclusion of such provisions in its subcontract, and should the negotiations between Contractor and such Subcontractor reach an impasse, Contractor will consult with Owner to
determine a commercially reasonable course of action before entering into a subcontract or issuing a purchase order to such Subcontractor. 
 33.5        Dispute Review Board . Notwithstanding Sections 33.3 and 33.4, either Party may, at any time, submit a Dispute for interim decision by the
Dispute Review Board ( “DRB” ) in accordance with Exhibit 17. Should a Dispute arise that involves the subject matter of Sections 8.6, 19.15, 23.3 33.5, 12.3.5 or 12.6.4, then the Parties agree to abide by any decision of
the DRB relating to same on an interim basis, until the disagreement can be permanently resolved through the procedure described in this Article 33. The Parties agree that the Parties will suffer irreparable harm if either Party does not abide
by a decision of the DRB relating to the Sections listed in the previous sentence, and that either Party may enforce such a decision of the DRB through an action for equitable relief including mandatory temporary injunction. 
 33.6        Obligations Continue . Notwithstanding the existence of any Dispute
hereunder, the Parties will continue to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement unless the Parties otherwise mutually agree in writing. If during the pendency of a Dispute, the Work is in progress, Owner’s Authorized
Representative will give such instructions as are necessary for the proper performance of the Work and to prevent delays pending settlement of the Dispute. Contractor will carry out such instructions and will proceed with the execution of the
Work, it being understood that in so doing Contractor, if it gives Owner a written notice before carrying out such Work that Contractor is doing so under protest, is not jeopardizing any claim it may have and is not in any way renouncing or waiving
any rights or recourses. 
  

 108 

 33.7        Injunctive Relief
.. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement is intended to, nor shall it, prevent the Parties from seeking injunctive relief at any time as may be available under law or in equity. 
 33.8        Survival . The provisions of this Article 33 will survive the termination of
this Agreement. 
 34. MISCELLANEOUS 
 34.1        Audit and Maintenance of Records . Owner shall have the right to audit and inspect Contractor’s records and accounts covering Fees and costs
paid, payable or reimbursable hereunder for Work performed on an Open Book basis, at all reasonable times during the performance of the Work and for such time as may be required by Applicable law, but in no event less than one year, after the
expiration or termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that the purpose of any such audit shall be only for verification of such costs. If an audit reveals that errors have been made in connection with the Fees, costs and other charges
invoiced to Owner, then the parties will work together to correct the error and any overpayments revealed by the audit will be promptly paid by Contractor to Owner. In addition, if the audit reveals any overpayment that is greater than five
percent (5%) of the amount which was actually due for the period being audited, Contractor, subject to the opportunity to dispute the audit findings in good faith, shall bear the cost of the audit. 
 34.2        Rights to Work Product . 
     34.2.1        Deliverables . All copies of the
paid-up Drawings and other deliverables provided or prepared under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Systems designs, and any sealed original drawings, specifications, final project specific calculations, computer-aided design and
drafting (CADD) data and files, and other engineering documents which Contractor prepares or delivers to Owner pursuant to this Agreement ( “Deliverables” ) shall be the property of Owner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all
Deliverables are Instruments of Service of Contractor and Contractor shall retain all of its intellectual property rights in and to such Deliverables. 
     34.2.2        License . Contractor hereby grants to Owner and its affiliates a fully paid-up, royalty-free, irrevocable,
non-exclusive license to use, modify, display, copy, and reproduce the Deliverables to the extent Owner or its affiliates deem necessary to construct, operate, maintain, repair, or alter the Systems at the Sites. This license grant includes,
without limitation, a license under all current and future patents owned by or licensed to Contractor that would be infringed by or are applicable to the Deliverables and/or any such construction, operation, maintenance, repair or alternation of the
Systems at the Facilities. 
     34.2.3        Reuse . All Deliverables prepared by Contractor pursuant to this Agreement are not intended or represented to be suitable for reuse by Owner or

  

 109 

 
others in connection with any air quality control system for any sites other than the Sites. Any such reuse without prior written verification or adaptation by Contractor for the specific
purpose intended will be at Owner’s sole risk and without liability or legal exposure to Contractor. Owner shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Contractor and its employees, agents, officers and/or assigns, against all claims,
losses, damages, injuries, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or resulting from such reuse. 
 34.3        Compliance with Laws . 
     34.3.1        Familiarity with Laws . Contractor shall be familiar with and, at all times, comply with and observe, all Applicable Laws, including all applicable
federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, and executive orders; all applicable safety orders, all orders, or decrees, of administrative agencies, courts, or other legally constituted authorities having jurisdiction or authority
over Contractor or the Work which may be in effect now, or during performance of the Work. 
     34.3.2        No Fees or Commissions . Contractor has not employed or retained any company or person, other than a bona fide employee working solely for Contractor
to solicit or secure this Agreement and Contractor has not paid or agreed to pay any person, company, corporation, individual, or firm other than a bona fide employee working solely for Contractor, any fee, commission, percentage, gift, or any other
consideration contingent upon or resulting from the award or making this Agreement. 
 34.4        Authorized Representatives . Each Party will appoint its own “Authorized Representative” and notify the other Party in writing of such representative’s
name, address, facsimile and telephone number within five (5) calendar days after the execution of this Agreement. Either Party may, at any time, change the designation of its Authorized Representative, provided such Party will promptly
notify the other Party in writing of such change. 
 34.5        Confidentiality
.. 
     34.5.1        Confidential
Information . From time to time, in connection with the Project and/or the Work a Party (the “Disclosing Party” ) may disclose certain written information to the other Party (the “Receiving Party” ) which
is clearly marked or otherwise designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” (such information, the “Confidential Information” ). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include (i) information which is
now in the public domain, or which later enters the public domain, through no action by a party in violation of this Agreement; (ii) information which the Receiving Party can demonstrate was already in the Receiving Party’s possession at
the time of its disclosure, and which was not acquired by that party directly or indirectly from the Disclosing Party on a confidential basis; or (iii) information which was acquired from

  

 110 

 
persons not under an obligation of secrecy (whether legal or contractual) to the Disclosing Party. 
     34.5.2        Nondisclosure . The parties agree that the Confidential Information will be kept confidential by them during the
term of this Agreement, and in addition that certain identified parts of the Confidential Information shall be kept and remain confidential for a ten (10) year period following Final Completion of each plant’s
Facility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information to those of its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, consultants, lenders, potential lenders and advisors who need to know the
Confidential Information in order to assist that party in connection with the Project or the financing thereof. Each party agrees to be responsible for the actions and disclosures of any such person with respect to Confidential Information.

     34.5.3        Compelled Disclosure
.. If a Receiving Party becomes legally compelled to disclose any of the Confidential Information, that party will provide the Disclosing Party with immediate written notice of that requirement so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective
order or other appropriate remedy at the Disclosing Party’s risk and expense. The Receiving Party will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required, and the Receiving Party will cooperate with the
Disclosing Party’s counsel to enable the Disclosing Party to obtain a protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information. 
     34.5.4        Use Restrictions . Owner will only
use the Confidential Information of Contractor for or in connection with the Project and the testing, operation, maintenance and repair of the Facilities. 
 34.6  Owner Caused Project End Suspension and Other Owner Caused Events 
 34.6.1 “ Owner Caused Project End Suspension” shall be deemed to have occurred if: (i) more than eighty percent (80%) of the Milestones have been completed; (ii) Owner suspends the Work pursuant to
Section 23 of this Agreement, and (iii) such suspension is for reasons other than Force Majeure, the discovery and required treatment of Hazardous Substances, Differing Site Conditions or Changes in Applicable Law; acts of omissions of the
Contractor that are in breach of its obligations under this agreement; or any other excused basis under this Agreement that would compel the Owner to effectuate such a suspension or delay. 
 Within fifteen (15) business days after delivery of the notice of the Owner Caused Project End Suspension , Owner shall deposit into a specific
escrow account an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of retention related to completed and undisputed milestones. Contractor shall be entitled to any and all interest from the specific escrow account (the “Escrow
Account”). 
  

 111 

 Should all or a significant portion of the Work be recommenced subsequent to a Owner Caused Project End
Suspension , all of the proceeds of the escrow account shall revert back to Owner upon the delivery to the contractor of an official “recommencement of the work” Notice (“Recommencement Notice”) 
 In the event that a Recommencement Notice has not been delivered to Contractor within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the first day of the
Owner Caused Project End Suspension , then all of the Escrow Account funds, including all interest, shall be distributed to Contractor. 
 In addition to Contractor’s other rights and entitlements under the Agreement in connection with an Owner suspension, should a Recommencement Notice be delivered to Contractor after the expiration of the above- described one hundred
eighty (180) day period, the Contractor hereby agrees and covenants that it shall return to Owner One Hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of the escrowed funds within five (5) business days after receipt of the
Recommencement Notice. 
 34.6.2.      Owner has no duty or obligation to seek an extension of any of the time
limitations imposed by Maryland Department of Environmental Conservation (“DEC”) or any other regulatory rulings or requirements related to the Facilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should (i) the time limits imposed by the
DEC or any other regulatory agencies related to the Facilities for one or more of the Facilities be extended; (ii) Owner intentionally interferes with or frustrates Contractor’s efforts to achieve Provisional Acceptance, Substantial
Completion or Final Completion within the time provided in the Approved Project Schedule; and (iii) Contractor demonstrates that, at the time of the interference, Owner had a financial incentive to pursue recovery of liquidated damages for late
completion rather than allow Contractor to complete the Work within the time allowed, then for the time period of such Owner interference, Contractor shall not be assessed any liquidated damages relating to Provisional Acceptance, Substantial
Completion or Final Completion within the time provided in the Approved Project Schedule. 
 34.7          Notices . All notices permitted or required to be given under this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed duly given when sent by overnight courier, by
personal delivery (against receipt) or on the third (3rd) calendar day following the date on which such notice is deposited, postage prepaid, in the United States mail, certified, return receipt requested. All notices will be delivered or

 SECTION ONE – FGD GUARANTEES 
 MORGANTOWN 
  

	1.	 GUARANTEES AND PERFORMANCE TESTS 

  

	1.1	 The following items of performance for the FGD systems shall be guaranteed based on the total range of design conditions herein specified. The FGD
system must be capable of simultaneously meeting all guarantees unless otherwise noted within this document (i.e., the availability guarantee). 

 The general arrangement of equipment furnished by the Contractor shall not be less favorable than indicated on the Contractor’s General Arrangement drawing
122492-00000-M-GA-001-1-G. Should the arrangements change, any performance guarantees affected (i.e., power consumption) shall be modified as mutually agreed by the Contractor and the Owner. 
 The equipment shall have been erected in accordance with the Contractor’s plans and specifications, shall have been
properly maintained by the Owner, and operated within the operating conditions as specified in Exhibit 1 and in a manner consistent with the Contractor’s recommendations and Operating Instructions and Manuals. 
 The Contractor offers only the guarantees listed in this section of the proposal. These performance
guarantees do not include occurrences of aluminum fluoride blinding. If Aluminum fluoride deactivation is observed via depressed operating pH, decreased SO2 removal, poor gypsum quality, and high limestone stoichiometry, then the performance and availability tests will be
delayed until operation returns to normal. Credit shall retained by Contractor for all previous performance guarantees achieved up to the point where aluminum fluoride blinding is confirmed and testing delayed (if required). 
 In the event that excessive foaming (defined as detection of slurry and/or foam from the absorber overflow when all other
operating parameters per the O&M manual are within design range) occurs in the proposed equipment, a suitable surfactant or defoaming agent shall be used to attempt to correct the condition before any damages or other penalties are applied.

 Failure to meet any one of the below specified performance guarantees shall not require re-testing of all
performance guarantees. Re-testing shall be limited to the failed performance guarantees and any directly related guarantees in accordance with item 2.1.5. 
 The following guarantees are offered in accordance with the design data included in Exhibit 1. 
  

	1.1.1	 SO2 Removal. For each unit, Contractor shall guarantee the maximum SO2 emission level in the flue gas stream out of the desulfurization system
when less than or equal to the parameters defined in Exhibit 1, while using the in-situ forced oxidation limestone operating mode without the use of performance enhancing additives such as organic acids. This emission level shall be met at all
operating points and during load changes and shall be based on the heat input to the boiler at that operating load. A minimum SO2 emission of *** shall constitute fulfillment of the SO2 emission level guarantee. Also, 

  

					
	July 19, 2007	  	Page 2 of 72	  	

			
	Exhibit 6	  	Morgantown

  

	 	 
for each unit, a minimum SO2 removal efficiency of *** shall be guaranteed at all operating loads (without organic acid additives) when firing the evaluation coal within the range of constituents and maximum SO2 loading defined in Exhibit 1, while using the in situ forced oxidation
limestone operating mode and without the use of performance enhancing additives such as organic acids. For purposes of Exhibit 1 and performance guarantees, lb SO2/mmBtu shall be calculated using the procedure described by the EPA in the Federal
Register. 

 SO2 removal efficiency is defined as: 
  

					
	% SO2 Removal =	 	(SO2 at absorber inlet (lb/hr) - SO2 at absorber outlet (lb/hr))	 	x100
	 	SO2 at absorber inlet (lb/hr)	 

 Compliance with this requirement shall be demonstrated during Performance Test PA and
Performance Test 1. The Equivalent Availability Test will be based on a *** weighted rolling average. Figure 1 shall be used for correction of guarantee values for operating conditions other than the maximum flue gas flow described in Exhibit 1.
Subject to mutual agreement between the Parties Performance Test 1 may be conducted simultaneously with the Provisional Acceptance Test. 
 *** 
  

					
	July 19, 2007	  	Page 3 of 72	  	

			
	Exhibit 6	  	Morgantown

  

	1.1.2	 Particulate Emission Level. For each unit, the solid filterable particulate emission level in the chimney shall not exceed the level
at the desulfurization system inlet. This includes inlet particulate levels between *** and ***. If the inlet value is below *** and the total ammonia, as free ammonia or ammonia salts, at the absorber inlet is equivalent to *** dry volume,
corrected to ***, or less, the outlet level shall not exceed ***. This solid filterable particulate emission level shall include fly ash, calcium salts and other inerts or materials, except acid mist and water in uncombined form, that are or have
been airborne, and exist as a solid at standard conditions. The emission level shall be met at all operating points as defined in Exhibit 1. 

 Compliance with this requirement shall be demonstrated during Performance Test PA and Performance Test 1. Subject to mutual agreement between the Parties, Performance Test 1 may be
conducted simultaneously with the Provisional Acceptance Test. 
  

	1.1.3	 Pressure Drop. Contractor shall guarantee a pressure drop of *** water column (per absorber) through the FGD system for the maximum
flue gas flow, while operating as defined in Exhibit 1. This value is calculated from the FGD absorber inlet to the absorber outlet (flange to flange). The mist eliminator and all ducts must be in a normal operating clean condition based on
Contractor’s recommended mist eliminator cleaning cycle. 

 Compliance with this
requirement shall be demonstrated during Performance Test 1. The test ports shall be located in Contractor’s duct as close to the absorber inlet as possible and in Contractor’s absorber module outlet duct. 
 In the event that test results reveal that an accurate and reliable measurement of pressure drop cannot be taken because of
turbulence or other related reasons, the location of the measuring points shall be changed and suitable adjustments, subject to Owner’s approval, made to the guaranteed pressure drop to reflect the new location. 
 The above pressure drop guarantee is based on the spare absorber recycle pump being out of service. The spare absorber
recycle pump is the upper-most installed spray header pump in each absorber module. Figure 2 shall be used for correction of guarantee values for operating conditions other than the maximum flue gas flow described in Exhibit 1. 
 *** 
  

	1.1.4	 Maximum Entrained Moisture Carryover. For each unit, the Maximum Entrained Moisture Carryover from the absorbers, as measured at the
absorber outlet shall be an average of no more than *** as averaged over the absorber cross section at the mist eliminator level, excluding acid mist in the calculation. The test port locations for this guarantee shall be mutually agreed upon
between Contractor and Owner. Test ports shall be provided by Contractor. 

  

	1.1.5	 Power Consumption. Contractor shall guarantee that the Power Consumption at the motor or other affected device leads excluding booster
fan power, , and gypsum

  

					
	July 19, 2007	  	Page 4 of 72	  	

			
	Exhibit 6	  	Morgantown

  

	 	 
dewatering requirements (averaged over a *** operating period) for equipment supplied by the Contractor at the Maximum gas flow for the evaluation coal fuel shall not exceed ***. The power
consumption with one spare absorber recycle pump per absorber out of service as required per the specification is not expected to exceed ***. This consumption is based on normal operating process (Contractor’s Scope) equipment in service,
including the absorber area with both absorbers in operation, with air compressors, as well as the mist eliminator wash water pumps, FGD makeup water pumps, and the limestone preparation system, and is based on ambient site conditions and service
water temperatures as defined in Exhibit 1. It excludes line losses, switch gear losses, transformer losses and standby services such as the spare slurry, absorber recycle and water pumps, isolation valves, lighting and instruments, heat tracing,
HVAC, and spare equipment. Compliance with this requirement shall be demonstrated during Performance Test 1. 

  

	1.1.6	 Make Up Water Consumption. Total makeup water consumption – For each unit, the total makeup water consumption (gpm) for the
maximum SO2 loading case (in Exhibit 1) shall be guaranteed
by Contractor not to exceed *** per absorber for the Limestone Milling System, AR Pump Gear Cooling and Seal Flushing, Mist Eliminator Washing, and Oxidation Air Humidification, as averaged over a *** period. This guarantee excludes water usage from
any non-process related water users not specifically required for operation of the FGD System, such as hose stations and equipment wash downs, or any abnormal, non-steady state plant operations, such as filling a tank. This guarantee includes an
allowance of *** for the Wastewater Treatment System. To the extent it is different from the allowance, the overall guarantee must be adjusted accordingly with Owner’s approval. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. This guarantee
excludes gypsum dewatering requirements. 

 The above guarantee values apply to the *** flue gas design case
as specified in Exhibit 1, the design chloride concentration *** and the design limestone as described in Exhibit 1. 
  

	1.1.7	 Limestone Consumption. For each unit, Contractor shall guarantee that the Limestone Consumption will not exceed *** (on a dry solids
basis) per absorber for the gas flow per 4.1.2 of Exhibit 1. In addition to the SO2 removal requirement, the guaranteed Limestone Consumption shall include the additional limestone consumed during removal of chlorine and fluorine in the flue gas (based on the design conditions in
Exhibit 1). Adjustments will be made to the guaranteed limestone consumption using Contractor’s correction curve (Figure 3) in the event of deviations in the content (or reactivity) of CaCO3. Moreover, an adjustment in limestone consumption using Contractor’s correction curve (Figure 3) will
be made in the event sulfur levels differ from those present in the evaluation fuel. 

 Compliance with this
requirement shall be demonstrated during Performance Test 1. 
 The above guarantee value applies to the *** flue gas design
case as specified in Exhibit 1, and the design limestone as described in Exhibit 1. To determine the guaranteed limestone consumption at different flue gas flow rates, limestone composition values or other design points, guarantee correction curves
as provided by the Contractor shall be used.

	1.1.8	 Engineering Design Margin. The engineering design margin (the “Engineering Design Margins”) for the guaranteed
consumption of auxiliary power, limestone and makeup water is ***. 

  

	1.1.9	 Minimum Turndown Capability. The FGD system shall be warranted to a minimum turndown capability (defined as operating at greater than
or equal to *** of the gas flow as defined in Exhibit 1) as a percentage of full-load. Minimum turndown capability shall be ***. 

  

	1.1.10	 Calcium Sulfite Oxidation. For each unit, Contractor shall guarantee that the oxidation level of the absorber bleed stream gypsum
product shall be equal or greater than *** at Maximum gas flow and design SO2 operation. Oxidation level is calculated by dividing the total moles of calcium sulfate (CaSO4 · 2 H2O) by the sum of the total moles of calcium sulfite (CaSO3 ·  1/2 H2O) and calcium sulfate in the absorber bleed stream solids from the absorber, expressed as a percentage. In addition, the soluble sulfite concentration for each unit shall be a maximum of ***. 

 Contractor’s guarantee is conditioned upon the Owner returning the reclaim stream from the Dewatering
System to the absorber with the following properties: 
  

	 	•	 	 The reclaim stream oxidation level shall be a minimum of ***. 

  

	 	•	 	 The *** average mass flow of CaSO3 ·  1/2 H2O in the reclaim stream shall not exceed *** of the mass flow of CaSO3
 ·  1/2 H2O in the
Contractor’s absorber bleed stream. 

 Compliance with the above requirement shall be
demonstrated during Performance Test 1. 
 Provisional Acceptance Testing 
 To achieve Provisional Acceptance, Contractor shall guarantee that the oxidation level of the absorber bleed stream
gypsum product shall be equal or greater than *** at Maximum gas flow and design SO2 operation. 
 Contractor’s guarantee is conditioned upon the Owner returning
the reclaim stream from the Dewatering System to the absorber with the following properties: 
  

	 	•	 	 The reclaim stream oxidation level shall be a minimum of ***. 

 Compliance with the above requirement shall be demonstrated during the Performance Test PA.

temperature measurement with calibrated thermocouples. 
 The tests will be conducted at Owner’s expense except the
expenses incurred by Contractor’s representative. 
  

	1.1.12	 Sound Level. The Contractor guarantees that noise generated from any equipment supplied by the Contractor will not exceed ***, under
free field hemispherical radiation conditions as measured *** horizontally from a vertical surface, defined by a parallelepiped that just encloses the equipment under test, and *** above a floor or normal walkway. When acoustical enclosures are
provided, all measurements shall be made *** horizontally from the enclosure wall. Corrections will be made for background noise. If the measurement area is determined to be less than free field, mutually agreed upon room constant corrections shall
be applied. All measurements will be energy averaged into a single value. The performance test to determine compliance with the stated guarantee shall be conducted in accordance with ANSl S1.13. Noise measurements shall have a *** tolerance as
stated within the ANSl standards. Other corrections not covered by this standard will be as mutually agreed to by the Contractor and Owner. 

 The proposed ball mills, oxidation air blowers, WWT blowers, and absorber recirculation pumps (which are expected to be ***) are excluded from this guarantee. The sound levels will follow the standard
proposed equipment specifications for the FGD replicate plant. 
  

	1.1.13	 Wastewater Treatment Effluent. For each station, Contractor shall guarantee the wastewater effluent, which is a pass through of the
WWT supplier’s guarantee, will achieve the following requirements at each station: 

 *** 
 Performance Test PA for the Wastewater Treatment System is limited to the performance of the parameters associated with the
physical/chemical phase of the system (all the parameters listed in Table 1.1.13 except for BOD, Total Nitrogen, (excluding dissolved organic nitrogen and sulfur-nitrogen)). Due to the time required to develop an acclimatized bacterial culture to

	 	a.	 All equipment necessary for normal and sustained operation at the specified conditions must be operated during the test or accounted for in the
corrections. Intermittent operation of equipment within the test boundary should be accounted for in a manner agreeable to all parties. 

  

	 	b.	 Auxiliary Equipment Operation: FGD booster fans, ME wash water pumps, and the seal air fan must be operating or accounted for in determining
auxiliary power loads. 

  

	 	c.	 Adjustments prior to and during Tests: prior to start of the actual test run, adjustments are permitted provided that stabilization as defined
herein is established. Once the test run has started, no adjustments are permitted except by agreement of all the parties to the test. 

  

	 	5.2.4	         Duration of Test Run and Frequency of Readings 

  

	 	a.	 The duration of a test run and the frequency of the readings shall be selected to provide a reliable average of the readings. A *** test run is
recommended to meet the uncertainty requirements. A test can be a single *** run or the average of a series of runs, each being separately corrected, then averaged. While this procedure does not require multiple runs, the advantages of multiple runs
should be recognized as providing a means for valid rejection of bad test runs, reducing average uncertainty and to verify the repeatability of results. 

 5.3 Test Records 
 5.3.1    Test Readings 
  

	 	a.	 To the extent possible, test readings shall be recorded on a data acquisition system. A complete set of unaltered data acquisition sheets and
recorded charts, electronic media or facsimiles thereof, shall become the property of each party to the test at the end of the test. The observations shall include the date and time of day. They shall be the actual readings without application of
any corrections. The log sheets and all recorded charts constitute a complete record. 

  

	 	5.3.2	         Direct Readings 

  

	 	a.	 Direct manual readings of instruments are to be recorded at uniform frequent intervals during a test. It is preferable to observe simultaneously all
instruments at the same intervals.

	Exhibit 6	  	Morgantown

  

	 	5.3.3	         Certified Data 

  

	 	a.	 It is recommended that data considered to be especially important be confirmed by a second observer. 

  

	 	5.3.4	         Test Log 

  

	 	a.	 Every event connected with the progress of a test, however unimportant it may appear at the time, should be recorded on the test log sheets together
with the time of occurrence and the name of the observer. Particular care should be taken to record any adjustments made to any equipment under test, whether made during a run or between runs. The reasons for each adjustment shall be stated in the
test records. 

  

	 	5.3.5	         Test Recording Errors 

  

	 	a.	 Manual data shall be recorded in ink. In case of errors in a recorded observation, a line shall be drawn in ink through the incorrect entry, the
correct reading is to be recorded in ink and initialed above the incorrect entry, and an explanation entered in the proper place in the test records. A comparison of these observations should be made as soon as possible and any discrepancies
reconciled before the end of the test. 

 5.4 Test Validity 
 5.4.1 Validity of Results 
  

	 	a.	 If, during the conduct of a test or during the subsequent analysis or interpretation of the observed data, an inconsistency is found which affects
the validity of the results, the parties should make every reasonable effort to adjust or eliminate the inconsistency by mutual agreement. Failure to reach such agreement will constitute rejection of the run or test. 

 5.4.2 Reporting of Results 
  

	 	a.	 In all cases, the test results shall be reported: 

  

	 	a.1	 As calculated from the test observations, with only instrument calibration adjustments applied 

  

	 	a.2	 As corrected for deviations of the test condition from the specified conditions. 

  

	 	5.4.3	         Causes for Rejection of Readings 

  

	 	a.	 Upon completion of test or during the test itself, the test data shall be reviewed to determine if any data should be rejected prior to the
calculation of test results. Should serious inconsistencies which affect the results be detected, the run shall be invalidated completely, or it may be invalidated only in part if the affected part is at the beginning or at the end of the run. Refer
to ASME PTC-19.1 for data rejection criteria.

	1.	         GUARANTEES AND PERFORMANCE TESTS 

  

	1.1	 The following items of performance for the FGD systems shall be guaranteed based on the total range of design conditions herein specified. The FGD
system must be capable of simultaneously meeting all guarantees unless otherwise noted within this document (i.e., the availability guarantee). 

  

	  	 The general arrangement of equipment furnished by the Contractor shall not be less favorable than indicated on the Contractor’s General
Arrangement drawing 122493-00000-M-GA-001-1-G. Should the arrangements change, any performance guarantees affected (i.e., power consumption) shall be modified as mutually agreed by the Contractor and the Owner. 

  

	  	 The equipment shall have been erected in accordance with the Contractor’s plans and specifications, shall have been properly maintained by the
Owner, and operated within the operating conditions as specified in Exhibit 1 and in a manner consistent with the Contractor’s recommendations and Operating Instructions and Manuals. 

  

	  	 The Contractor offers only the guarantees listed in this section of the proposal. These performance guarantees do not include occurrences of
aluminum fluoride blinding. If Aluminum fluoride deactivation is observed via depressed operating pH, decreased SO2 
removal, poor gypsum quality, and high limestone stoichiometry, then the performance and availability tests will be delayed until operation returns to normal. Credit shall retained by
Contractor for all previous performance guarantees achieved up to the point where aluminum fluoride blinding is confirmed and testing delayed (if required). 

  

	  	 In the event that excessive foaming (defined as detection of slurry and/or foam from the absorber overflow when all other operating parameters per
the O&M manual are within design range) occurs in the proposed equipment, a suitable surfactant or defoaming agent shall be used to attempt to correct the condition before any damages or other penalties are applied. 

 

	  	 Failure to meet any one of the below specified performance guarantees shall not require re-testing of all performance guarantees. Re-testing shall
be limited to the failed performance guarantees and any directly related guarantees in accordance with item 2.1.5. 

  

	  	 The following guarantees are offered in accordance with the design data included in Exhibit 1. 

  

	1.1.1	 SO2 Removal. For each unit, Contractor shall guarantee the maximum SO2 emission level in the flue gas stream out of the desulfurization system
when less than or equal to the parameters defined in Exhibit 1, while using the in-situ forced oxidation limestone operating mode without the use of performance enhancing additives such as organic acids. This emission level shall be met at all
operating points and during load changes and shall be based on the heat input to the boiler at that operating load. A minimum SO2 emission of *** shall constitute fulfillment of the SO2 emission level guarantee. Also, for each unit, a minimum SO2 removal efficiency of *** shall be guaranteed at all operating loads (without organic acid additives) when firing the
evaluation coal within 

  

					
	July 19, 2007	  	Page 26 of 72	  	

			
	Exhibit 6	  	Chalk Point

  

	 	 
the range of constituents and maximum SO2 loading defined in Exhibit 1, while using the in situ forced oxidation limestone operating mode and without the use of performance enhancing additives such as organic acids. For purposes of Exhibit 1 and
performance guarantees, lb SO2/mmBtu shall be calculated
using the procedure described by the EPA in the Federal Register. 

  

							
		 	 SO2 
removal efficiency is defined as:
	  	
				
		 	% SO2 Removal  =	  	 (SO2 at absorber inlet (lb/hr) - SO2 at absorber outlet (lb/hr))
	  	x100
	 	  	SO2 at absorber inlet (lb/hr)	  

  

	  	 Compliance with this requirement shall be demonstrated during Performance Test PA and Performance Test 1. The Equivalent Availability Test will be
based on a *** weighted rolling average. Figure 1 shall be used for correction of guarantee values for operating conditions other than the maximum flue gas flow described in Exhibit 1. Subject to mutual agreement between the Parties Performance Test
1 may be conducted simultaneously with the Provisional Acceptance Test. 

 *** 
  

	1.1.2	 Particulate Emission Level. For each unit, the solid filterable particulate emission level in the chimney shall not exceed the level
at the desulfurization system inlet. This includes inlet particulate levels between *** and ***. If the inlet value is below *** and the total ammonia, as free ammonia or ammonia salts, at the absorber inlet is equivalent to ***, corrected to ***,
or less, the outlet level shall not exceed ***. This solid filterable particulate emission level shall include fly ash, calcium salts and other inerts or materials, except acid mist and water in uncombined form, that are or have been airborne, and
exist as a solid at standard conditions. The emission level shall be met at all operating points as defined in Exhibit 1. 

  

	  	 Compliance with this requirement shall be demonstrated during Performance Test PA and Performance Test 1. Subject to mutual agreement between the
Parties,, Performance Test 1 may be conducted simultaneously with the Provisional Acceptance Test. 

  

	1.1.3	 Pressure Drop. Contractor shall guarantee a pressure drop of *** water column (per absorber) through the FGD system for the maximum
flue gas flow, while operating as defined in Exhibit 1. This value is calculated from the FGD absorber inlet to the absorber outlet (flange to flange). The mist eliminator and all ducts must be in a normal operating clean condition based on
Contractor’s recommended mist eliminator cleaning cycle. 

  

	  	 Compliance with this requirement shall be demonstrated during Performance Test 1. The test ports shall be located in Contractor’s duct as close
to the absorber inlet as possible and in Contractor’s absorber module outlet duct. 

  

	  	 In the event that test results reveal that an accurate and reliable measurement of pressure drop cannot be taken because of turbulence or other
related reasons, the location of the

  

					
	July 19, 2007	  	Page 27 of 72	  	

			
	Exhibit 6	  	Chalk Point

  

	 	 
measuring points shall be changed and suitable adjustments, subject to Owner’s approval, made to the guaranteed pressure drop to reflect the new location. 

  

	  	 The above pressure drop guarantee is based on the spare absorber recycle pump being out of service. The spare absorber recycle pump is the
upper-most installed spray header pump in each absorber module. Figure 2 shall be used for correction of guarantee values for operating conditions other than the maximum flue gas flow described in Exhibit 1. 

 *** 
  

	1.1.4	 Maximum Entrained Moisture Carryover. For each unit, the Maximum Entrained Moisture Carryover from the absorbers, as measured at the
absorber outlet shall be an average of no more than *** as averaged over the absorber cross section at the mist eliminator level, excluding acid mist in the calculation. The test port locations for this guarantee shall be mutually agreed upon
between Contractor and Owner. Test ports shall be provided by Contractor. 

  

	1.1.5	 Power Consumption. Contractor shall guarantee that the Power Consumption at the motor or other affected device leads excluding booster
fan power, and gypsum dewatering requirements (averaged over a *** operating period) for equipment supplied by the Contractor at the Maximum gas flow for the evaluation coal fuel shall not exceed ***. The power consumption with one spare absorber
recycle pump is not expected to exceed ***. This consumption is based on normal operating process (Contractor’s Scope) equipment in service, including the absorber area with air compressors, as well as the mist eliminator wash water pumps, FGD
makeup water pumps, and the limestone preparation system and is based on ambient site conditions and service water temperatures as defined in Exhibit 1. It excludes line losses, switch gear losses, transformer losses and standby services such as the
spare slurry, absorber recycle and water pumps, isolation valves, lighting and instruments, heat tracing, HVAC, and spare equipment. Compliance with this requirement shall be demonstrated during Performance Test 1. 

  

	1.1.6	 Make Up Water Consumption. Total makeup water consumption – For each unit, the total makeup water consumption (gpm) for the
maximum SO2 loading case (in Exhibit 1) shall be guaranteed
by Contractor not to exceed *** per absorber for the Limestone Milling System, AR Pump Gear Cooling and Seal Flushing, Mist Eliminator Washing, and Oxidation Air Humidification, as averaged over a *** period. This guarantee excludes water usage from
any non-process related water users not specifically required for operation of the FGD System, such as hose stations and equipment wash downs, or any abnormal, non-steady state plant operations, such as filling a tank. This guarantee includes an
allowance of *** for the Wastewater Treatment System. To the extent it is different from the allowance, the overall guarantee must be adjusted accordingly with Owner’s approval. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. This guarantee
excludes gypsum dewatering requirements. 

  

	    	 The above guarantee values apply to the *** flue gas design case as specified in Exhibit 1, the design chloride concentration *** and the design
limestone as described in Exhibit 1. 

  

					
	July 19, 2007	  	Page 28 of 72	  	

			
	Exhibit 6	  	Chalk Point

  

	1.1.7	 Limestone Consumption. For each unit, Contractor shall guarantee that the Limestone Consumption will not exceed *** (on a dry solids
basis) per absorber for the gas flow per 4.2.2 of Exhibit 1. In addition to the SO2 removal requirement, the guaranteed Limestone Consumption shall include the additional limestone consumed during removal of chlorine and fluorine in the flue gas (based on the design conditions in
Exhibit 1). Adjustments will be made to the guaranteed limestone consumption using Contractor’s correction curve (Figure 3) in the event of deviations in the content (or reactivity) of CaCO3. Moreover, an adjustment in limestone consumption using Contractor’s correction curve (Figure 3) will
be made in the event sulfur levels differ from those present in the evaluation fuel. 

  

	  	 Compliance with this requirement shall be demonstrated during Performance Test 1. 

  

	  	 The above guarantee value applies to the *** flue gas design case as specified in Exhibit 1, and the design limestone as described in Exhibit 1. To
determine the guaranteed limestone consumption at different flue gas flow rates, limestone composition values or other design points, guarantee correction curves as provided by the Contractor shall be used. 

 *** 
  

	1.1.8	 Engineering Design Margin The engineering design margin (the “Engineering Design Margins”) for the guaranteed
consumption of auxiliary power, limestone and makeup water is ***. 

  

	1.1.9	 Minimum Turndown Capability. The FGD system shall be warranted to a minimum turndown capability (defined as operating at greater than
or equal to *** of the gas flow as defined in Exhibit 1) as a percentage of full-load. Minimum turndown capability shall be ***. 

  

	1.1.10	 Calcium Sulfite Oxidation. For each unit, Contractor shall guarantee that the oxidation level of the absorber bleed stream gypsum
product shall be equal or greater than *** at Maximum gas flow and design SO2 operation. Oxidation level is calculated by dividing the total moles of calcium sulfate (CaSO4 · 2 H2O) by the sum of the total moles of calcium sulfite (CaSO3 ·  1/2 H2O) and calcium sulfate in the absorber bleed stream solids from the absorber, expressed as a percentage. In addition, the soluble sulfite concentration for each unit shall be a maximum of ***. 

  

	  	 Contractor’s guarantee is conditioned upon the Owner returning the reclaim stream from the Dewatering System to the absorber with the following
properties: 

  

	 	•	 	 The reclaim stream oxidation level shall be a minimum of ***. 

  

	 	•	 	 The *** average mass flow of CaSO3 ·  1/2 H2O in the reclaim stream shall not exceed *** of the mass flow of CaSO3
 ·  1/2 H2O in the
Contractor’s absorber bleed stream. 

 Compliance with the above
requirement shall be demonstrated during Performance Test 1.

check the performance of the FGD booster fans and to determine the actual fan characteristic curves. 

  

	    	 The field test will be performed in accordance with ASME PTC 11-84 to the maximum extent practical. The field testing procedures will be mutually
agreed upon by Owner and Contractor prior to testing. The field test shall include, but shall not be limited to, the following: 

  

	    	 Sequential inlet box flow and pressure measurement with directional probes. 

  

	    	 Outlet static pressure measurement with multiple wall taps. 

  

	    	 Power measurement with calibrated electrical measurement devices. 

  

	    	 Inlet temperature measurement with calibrated thermocouples. 

  

	    	 The tests will be conducted at Owner’s expense except the expenses incurred by Contractor’s representative. 

 

	1.1.12	 Sound Level: The Contractor guarantees that noise generated from any equipment supplied by the Contractor will not exceed ***, under
free field hemispherical radiation conditions as measured *** horizontally from a vertical surface, defined by a parallelepiped that just encloses the equipment under test, and *** above a floor or normal walkway. When acoustical enclosures are
provided, all measurements shall be made *** horizontally from the enclosure wall. Corrections will be made for background noise. If the measurement area is determined to be less than free field, mutually agreed upon room constant corrections shall
be applied. All measurements will be energy averaged into a single value. The performance test to determine compliance with the stated guarantee shall be conducted in accordance with ANSl S1.13. Noise measurements shall have a *** tolerance as
stated within the ANSl standards. Other corrections not covered by this standard will be as mutually agreed to by the Contractor and Owner.

instrumentation can either be permanent plant instrumentation or temporary test instrumentation. Total uncertainty in measurements shall be no greater than that recommended in ASME PTC-40. 

  

	 	b.	 Multiple instruments should be used as needed to reduce overall test uncertainty. The frequency of data collection is dependent on the particular
measurement and the duration of the test. To the extent practical, multiple readings should be collected to minimize the random error impact on the post-test uncertainty analysis. The use of automated data acquisition systems is recommended to
facilitate acquiring sufficient data. 

  

	 	c.	 Contractor shall coordinate with plant on the timing of installation of calibrated devices, but in all cases, the calibration shall have been within
*** of the performance test. Calibration or adequate checks of all instruments, including those already installed and operating at the plant, prior to and after the test must be carried out by Contractor, and those records and calibration reports
must be made available and included in the Test Report. Following the test, re-calibration or adequate reconfirmation or verification is required. 

  

	5.1.4	 Testing Instrumentation and Equipment Inspection and Cleanliness 

  

	 	a.	 Prior to conducting a test, the cleanliness and condition of the testing instrumentation and equipment shall be determined by visual inspection or
review of operational records, or both, and witnessed by all parties. 

  

	5.1.5	 Preliminary Operation and Adjustment 

  

	 	a.	 Before starting the performance test, the equipment shall be operated for sufficient time to demonstrate mechanical operation and stable control of
the operating variable. During the period, instruments shall be checked.

	Exhibit 6	  	Chalk Point

  

	 	a.	 Preliminary testing shall be conducted sufficiently in advance of the start of the overall performance test to allow time to calculate preliminary
results, make final adjustments, and modify the test requirements and/or test equipment. Results from the preliminary testing should be calculated and reviewed to identify any problems with the quantity and quality of measured data. The parties
shall mutually agree before the test to any test modifications, so determined. A preliminary test run may be accepted as a final test run by mutual agreement of all parties. 

  

	5.2	 Conduct of Test 

  

	5.2.1	 Specified Reference Conditions 

  

	 	a.	 These conditions are defined by the guarantees or objectives of the test and they form the baseline for the output corrections. Every effort should
be made to run the test under the specified conditions or as close to the specified conditions as possible, in order to minimize the effect of corrections. Test points shall be duplicated as closely as possible to those used for baseline testing of
the plant. 

  

	 	5.2.2	 Starting and Stopping Tests and Test Runs 

  

	 	a.	 The test coordinator is responsible for ensuring that all data collection begins at the agreed-upon start of the test, and that all parties to the
test are informed of the starting time. 

  

	 	b.	 Starting Criteria: prior to starting the performance test, the following conditions must be satisfied: 

  

	 	b.1	 Operation, configuration, and disposition for testing has been reached in accordance with the agreed upon test requirements, including:

  

	 	b.1.1	 Equipment operation and method of control 

  

	 	b.1.2	 Availability of fuel within the allowable limits of the fuel analysis for the test (by analysis as soon as practicable preceding the test).

  

	 	b.1.3	 Equipment operation within the manufacturer’s allowable limits and emissions within permitted limits. 

  

	 	b.2	 Stabilization: before starting the test, the equipment shall be run until stable conditions have been established. Stability will be achieved when
continuous monitoring indicates that the readings have been within the maximum permissible variation established by the manufacturer. 

  

	 	b.3	 Data Collection: data acquisition system(s) functioning, and test personnel in place and ready to collect samples or record data.

  

	 	c.	 Completion Criteria 

  

	 	c.1	 Tests are normally concluded when the test coordinator is satisfied that requirements for a complete test run have been satisfied. The test
coordinator should verify that modes of operation during test, specified herein, have been

  

					
	July 19, 2007	  	Page 43 of 72	  	

			
	Exhibit 6	  	Chalk Point

  

	 	 
satisfied. The test coordinator may extend or terminate the test if the requirements are not met. If the test is interrupted due to circumstances beyond the control of the Contractor, such as
operator error, boiler upset, or electrical grid problems, the Contractor shall be allowed to restart testing after the interruption has been corrected. All test runs completed prior to the interruption shall be credited toward the test run. The
test data between the interruption and return to service shall not be considered as part of the data set. 

  

	5.2.3	 Operation Prior to and During Tests 

  

	 	a.	 All equipment necessary for normal and sustained operation at the specified conditions must be operated during the test or accounted for in the
corrections. Intermittent operation of equipment within the test boundary should be accounted for in a manner agreeable to all parties. 

  

	 	b.	 Auxiliary Equipment Operation: FGD booster fans, ME wash water pumps, and the seal air fan must be operating or accounted for in determining
auxiliary power loads. 

  

	 	c.	 Adjustments Prior to and during Tests: prior to start of the actual test run, adjustments are permitted provided that stabilization as defined
herein is established. Once the test run has started, no adjustments are permitted except by agreement of all the parties to the test. 

  

	5.2.4	 Duration of Test Run and Frequency of Readings 

  

	 	a.	 The duration of a test run and the frequency of the readings shall be selected to provide a reliable average of the readings. A *** test run is
recommended to meet the uncertainty requirements. A test can be a single *** run or the average of a series of runs, each being separately corrected, then averaged. While this procedure does not require multiple runs, the advantages of multiple runs
should be recognized as providing a means for valid rejection of bad test runs, reducing average uncertainty and to verify the repeatability of results. 

  

	5.3	 Test Records 

  

	5.3.1	 Test Readings 

  

	 	a.	 To the extent possible, test readings shall be recorded on a data acquisition system. A complete set of unaltered data acquisition sheets and
recorded charts, electronic media or facsimiles thereof, shall become the property of each party to the test at the end of the test. The observations shall include the date and time of day. They shall be the actual readings without application of
any corrections. The log sheets and all recorded charts constitute a complete record. 

  

	5.3.2	 Direct Readings 

  

	 	a.	 Direct manual readings of instruments are to be recorded at uniform frequent intervals during a test. It is preferable to observe simultaneously all
instruments at the same intervals.

	1.	 GUARANTEES AND PERFORMANCE TESTS 

  

	1.1	 The following items of performance for the FGD systems shall be guaranteed based on the total range of design conditions herein specified. The FGD
system must be capable of simultaneously meeting all guarantees unless otherwise noted within this document (i.e., the availability guarantee). 

  

	    	 The general arrangement of equipment furnished by the Contractor shall not be less favorable than indicated on the Contractor’s General
Arrangement drawing 122491-00000-M-/ga-001-1-G. Should the arrangements change, any performance guarantees affected (i.e., power consumption) shall be modified as mutually agreed by the Contractor and the Owner. 

  

	    	 The equipment shall have been erected in accordance with the Contractor’s plans and specifications, shall have been properly maintained by the
Owner, and operated within the operating conditions as specified in Exhibit 1 and in a manner consistent with the Contractor’s recommendations and Operating Instructions and Manuals. 

  

	    	 The Contractor offers only the guarantees listed in this section of the proposal. These performance guarantees do not include occurrences of
aluminum fluoride blinding. If Aluminum fluoride deactivation is observed via depressed operating pH, decreased SO2 
removal, poor gypsum quality, and high limestone stoichiometry, then the performance and availability tests will be delayed until operation returns to normal. Credit shall retained by
Contractor for all previous performance guarantees achieved up to the point where aluminum fluoride blinding is confirmed and testing delayed (if required). 

  

	    	 In the event that excessive foaming (defined as detection of slurry and/or foam from the absorber overflow when all other operating parameters per
the O&M manual are within design range) occurs in the proposed equipment, a suitable surfactant or defoaming agent shall be used to attempt to correct the condition before any damages or other penalties are applied. 

 

	    	 Failure to meet any one of the below specified performance guarantees shall not require re-testing of all performance guarantees. Re-testing shall
be limited to the failed performance guarantees and any directly related guarantees in accordance with item 2.1.5. 

  

	    	 The following guarantees are offered in accordance with the design data included in Exhibit 1. 

  

	1.1.1	 SO2 Removal.   For each unit, Contractor shall guarantee the maximum SO
2 emission level in the flue gas stream out of the
desulfurization system when less than or equal to the parameters defined in Exhibit 1, while using the in-situ forced oxidation limestone operating mode without the use of performance enhancing additives such as organic acids. This emission level
shall be met at all operating points and during load changes and shall be based on the heat input to the boiler at that operating load. A minimum SO2 emission of *** shall constitute fulfillment of the SO2 emission level guarantee. Also, for each unit, a minimum SO2 removal efficiency of *** shall be guaranteed at all operating loads (without organic acid additives) when firing the
evaluation coal within 

  

					
	July 19, 2007	  	Page 49 of 72	  	

			
	Exhibit 6	  	Dickerson

  

	 	 
the range of constituents and maximum SO2 loading defined in Exhibit 1, while using the in situ forced oxidation limestone operating mode and without the use of performance enhancing additives such as organic acids. For purposes of Exhibit 1 and
performance guarantees, lb SO2/mmBtu shall be calculated
using the procedure described by the EPA in the Federal Register. 

  

							
		 	 SO2 
removal efficiency is defined as:
	  	
				
		 	% SO2 Removal  =	  	 (SO2 at absorber inlet (lb/hr) - SO2 at absorber outlet (lb/hr))
	  	x100
	 	  	SO2 at absorber inlet (lb/hr)	  

  

	    	 Compliance with this requirement shall be demonstrated during Performance Test PA and Performance Test 1. The Equivalent Availability Test will be
based on a *** weighted rolling average. Figure 1 shall be used for correction of guarantee values for operating conditions other than the maximum flue gas flow described in Exhibit 1. Subject to mutual agreement between the Parties Performance Test
1 may be conducted simultaneously with the Provisional Acceptance Test. 

 *** 
  

	1.1.2	 Particulate Emission Level. For each unit, the solid filterable particulate emission level in the chimney shall not exceed the level
at the desulfurization system inlet. This includes inlet particulate levels between *** and ***. If the inlet value is below *** and the total ammonia, as free ammonia or ammonia salts, at the absorber inlet is equivalent to *** volume, corrected to
*** O2, or less, the outlet level shall not exceed ***. This
solid filterable particulate emission level shall include fly ash, calcium salts and other inerts or materials, except acid mist and water in uncombined form, that are or have been airborne, and exist as a solid at standard conditions. The emission
level shall be met at all operating points as defined in Exhibit 1. 

  

	    	 Compliance with this requirement shall be demonstrated during Performance Test PA and Performance Test 1. Subject to mutual agreement between the
Parties, Performance Test 1 may be conducted simultaneously with the Provisional Acceptance Test. 

  

	1.1.3	 Pressure Drop. Contractor shall guarantee a pressure drop of *** water column (per absorber) through the FGD system for the maximum
flue gas flow, while operating as defined in Exhibit 1. This value is calculated from the FGD absorber inlet to the absorber outlet (flange to flange). The mist eliminator and all ducts must be in a normal operating clean condition based on
Contractor’s recommended mist eliminator cleaning cycle. 

  

	    	 Compliance with this requirement shall be demonstrated during Performance Test 1. The test ports shall be located in Contractor’s duct as close
to the absorber inlet as possible and in Contractor’s absorber module outlet duct. 

  

	    	 In the event that test results reveal that an accurate and reliable measurement of pressure drop cannot be taken because of turbulence or other
related reasons, the location of the

  

					
	July 19, 2007	  	Page 50 of 72	  	

			
	Exhibit 6	  	Dickerson

  

	 	 
measuring points shall be changed and suitable adjustments, subject to Owner’s approval, made to the guaranteed pressure drop to reflect the new location. 

  

	    	 The above pressure drop guarantee is based on the spare absorber recycle pump being out of service. The spare absorber recycle pump is the
upper-most installed spray header pump in each absorber module. Figure 2 shall be used for correction of guarantee values for operating conditions other than the maximum flue gas flow described in Exhibit 1. 

 *** 
  

	1.1.4	 Maximum Entrained Moisture Carryover. For each unit, the Maximum Entrained Moisture Carryover from the absorbers, as measured at the
absorber outlet shall be an average of no more than *** as averaged over the absorber cross section at the mist eliminator level, excluding acid mist in the calculation. The test port locations for this guarantee shall be mutually agreed upon
between Contractor and Owner. Test ports shall be provided by Contractor. 

  

	1.1.5	 Power Consumption. Contractor shall guarantee that the Power Consumption at the motor or other affected device leads excluding booster
fan power and gypsum dewatering requirements (averaged over a *** operating period) for equipment supplied by the Contractor at the Maximum gas flow for the evaluation coal fuel shall not exceed ***. The power consumption with one spare absorber
recycle pump out of service is not expected to exceed ***. This consumption is based on normal operating process (Contractor’s Scope) equipment in service, including the absorber area with air compressors, as well as the mist eliminator wash
water pumps, FGD makeup water pumps, and the limestone preparation system and is based on ambient site conditions and service water temperatures as defined in Exhibit 1. It excludes line losses, switch gear losses, transformer losses and standby
services such as the spare slurry, absorber recycle and water pumps, isolation valves, lighting and instruments, heat tracing, HVAC, and spare equipment. Compliance with this requirement shall be demonstrated during Performance Test 1.

  

	1.1.6	 Make Up Water Consumption. Total makeup water consumption – For each unit, the total makeup water consumption (gpm) for the
maximum SO2 loading case (in Exhibit 1) shall be guaranteed
by Contractor not to exceed *** per absorber for the Limestone Milling System, AR Pump Gear Cooling and Seal Flushing, Mist Eliminator Washing, and Oxidation Air Humidification, as averaged over a *** period. This guarantee excludes water usage from
any non-process related water users not specifically required for operation of the FGD System, such as hose stations and equipment wash downs, or any abnormal, non-steady state plant operations, such as filling a tank. This guarantee includes an
allowance of *** for the Wastewater Treatment System. To the extent it is different from the allowance, the overall guarantee must be adjusted accordingly with Owner’s approval. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. This guarantee
excludes gypsum dewatering requirements. 

  

	    	 The above guarantee values apply to the *** flue gas design case as specified in Exhibit 1, the design chloride concentration *** and the design
limestone as described in Exhibit 1. 

  

					
	July 19, 2007	  	Page 51 of 72	  	

			
	Exhibit 6	  	Dickerson

  

	1.1.7	 Limestone Consumption. For each unit, Contractor shall guarantee that the Limestone Consumption will not exceed *** (on a dry solids
basis) per absorber for the gas flow per 4.3.2 of Exhibit 1. In addition to the SO2 removal requirement, the guaranteed Limestone Consumption shall include the additional limestone consumed during removal of chlorine and fluorine in the flue gas (based on the design conditions in
Exhibit 1). Adjustments will be made to the guaranteed limestone consumption using Contractor’s correction curve (Figure 3) in the event of deviations in the content (or reactivity) of CaCO3. Moreover, an adjustment in limestone consumption using Contractor’s correction curve (Figure 3) will
be made in the event sulfur levels differ from those present in the evaluation fuel. 

  

	    	 Compliance with this requirement shall be demonstrated during Performance Test 1. 

  

	    	 The above guarantee value applies to the *** flue gas design case as specified in Exhibit 1, and the design limestone as described in Exhibit 1. To
determine the guaranteed limestone consumption at different flue gas flow rates, limestone composition values or other design points, guarantee correction curves as provided by the Contractor shall be used. 

 *** 
  

	1.1.8	 Engineering Design Margin The engineering design margin (the “Engineering Design Margins”) for the guaranteed
consumption of auxiliary power, limestone and makeup water is ***. 

  

	1.1.9	 Minimum Turndown Capability. The FGD system shall be warranted to a minimum turndown capability (defined as operating at greater than
or equal to *** of the gas flow as defined in Exhibit 1) as a percentage of full-load. Minimum turndown capability shall be ***. 

  

	1.1.10	 Calcium Sulfite Oxidation. For each unit, Contractor shall guarantee that the oxidation level of the absorber bleed stream gypsum
product shall be equal or greater than *** at Maximum gas flow and design SO2 operation. Oxidation level is calculated by dividing the total moles of calcium sulfate (CaSO4 · 2 H2O) by the sum of the total moles of calcium sulfite (CaSO3 ·  1/2 H2O) and calcium sulfate in the absorber bleed stream solids from the absorber, expressed as a percentage. In addition, the soluble sulfite concentration for each unit shall be a maximum of ***. 

  

	    	 Contractor’s guarantee is conditioned upon the Owner returning the reclaim stream from the Dewatering System to the absorber with the following
properties: 

  

	 	•	 	 The reclaim stream oxidation level shall be a minimum of ***. 

  

	 	•	 	 The *** average mass flow of CaSO3 ·  1/2 H2O in the reclaim stream shall not exceed *** of the mass flow of CaSO3
 ·  1/2 H2O in the
Contractor’s absorber bleed stream. 

  

	    	 Compliance with the above requirement shall be demonstrated during Performance Test 1.

Owner to check the performance of the FGD booster fans and to determine the actual fan characteristic curves. 

  

	    	 The field test will be performed in accordance with ASME PTC 11-84 to the maximum extent practical. The field testing procedures will be mutually
agreed upon by Owner and Contractor prior to testing. The field test shall include, but shall not be limited to, the following: 

  

	    	 Sequential inlet box flow and pressure measurement with directional probes. 

  

	    	 Outlet static pressure measurement with multiple wall taps. 

  

	    	 Power measurement with calibrated electrical measurement devices. 

  

	    	 Inlet temperature measurement with calibrated thermocouples. 

  

	    	 The tests will be conducted at Owner’s expense except the expenses incurred by Contractor’s representative. 

 

	1.1.12	 Sound Level.   The Contractor guarantees that noise generated from any equipment supplied by the Contractor will not exceed
***, under free field hemispherical radiation conditions as measured *** horizontally from a vertical surface, defined by a parallelepiped that just encloses the equipment under test, and *** above a floor or normal walkway. When acoustical
enclosures are provided, all measurements shall be made *** horizontally from the enclosure wall. Corrections will be made for background noise. If the measurement area is determined to be less than free field, mutually agreed upon room constant
corrections shall be applied. All measurements will be energy averaged into a single value. The performance test to determine compliance with the stated guarantee shall be conducted in accordance with ANSl S1.13. Noise measurements shall have a ***
tolerance as stated within the ANSl standards. Other corrections not covered by this standard will be as mutually agreed to by the Contractor and Owner.

	5.	TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION 

  

	5.1	 Preparations for Test 

  

	5.1.1	 Applicable Testing Methods/Codes 

  

	 	a.	 The tests conducted for Performance Test 1 shall be run in strict accordance with the latest editions of the ASME PTC4.3 and EPA Methods 1
through 6, 8, and 17 in Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 40, Part 60, Appendix A (40 CFR 60 Appendix A). All parties to the test shall be given timely notification to allow them the necessary time
to respond and to prepare personnel, equipment, or documentation. All calculation procedures, such as limestone consumption, water consumption, etc., shall be defined in accordance with the testing codes herein. 

  

	 	a.1	 EPA Method 1 shall be used to determine number and location of sampling traverse points for both particulate and sulfur dioxide sampling.

  

	 	a.2	 EPA Method 5b or 17 shall be used at the existing particulate control outlet and EPA Method 5b shall be used at the stack location for
particulate sampling. Particulate sampling shall be for a minimum of *** per point; however, each test run shall be at least *** in duration. Particulate measurements shall exclude condensables. Mist eliminator carryover is to be determined /
confirmed during flow modeling and will not be measured during Performance Test 1. 

  

	 	a.3	 Combining the appropriate EPA methods may permit simultaneous acquisition of particulate and sulfur dioxide samples. However, this procedure must be
allowed in the current reference methods to be considered valid. 

  

	 	a.4	 An integrated multi-point sample for Orsat analysis shall be obtained at each test station for each test run. 

  

	 	a.5	 Fuel samples will be taken by the Owner. The samples will be taken at such times as to ensure that they are representative samples of the fuel
burned during

  

					
	July 19, 2007	  	Page 63 of 72	  	

			
	Exhibit 6	  	Dickerson

  

	 	 
the tests. The Owner will divide each sample into *** equal parts. The Contractor shall be responsible for the sample analysis, which shall be conducted in accordance with the latest edition of
ASTM D3176, D3180, and D2015. *** sample shall be analyzed by the Contractor per the above while the *** shall be held by Contractor for future use if required. 

  

	 	a.6	 Gas flow rate to the FGD system shall be calculated per ASME PTC4.3 using the ultimate analysis of the fuel, boiler heat input rate, and the
analysis of the flue gas at the FGD system inlet. The gas flow rate obtained by the pitot tube method shall be calculated for each location and recorded in the final report for information only. Owner will obtain the necessary data for calculation
of boiler heat input during the performance test. The Contractor shall obtain all other data. The gas flow rate determined through the use of ASME PTC4.3 (stoichiometric) shall be used to determine the amount of gas being treated by the FGD system
for comparison to the design flow rate. 

  

	 	a.7	 Particulate loading in gr/dscf and pounds per million Btu, and sulfur dioxide loading in ppm and pounds per million Btu shall be calculated
according to the “F” factor method given in the referenced Federal Register. The “F” factor shall be calculated as defined in the Federal Register from the coal ultimate analysis and the gross calorific value determined from coal
samples obtained during the testing. A separate “F” factor shall be calculated and used in the computation of results for each individual test run. Particulate and sulfur dioxide values shall be corrected to a constant oxygen and moisture
level. 

  

	 	a.8	 Particulate and sulfur dioxide removal efficiencies shall be calculated based on the absorber inlet values and the stack values for each test run.
The arithmetic average of the results from the *** test runs shall be used to compare with the contract guarantees. *** out of the *** samples may be disregarded if the data is considered to be an outlier. 

  

	 	a.9	 Oxidation level: *** samples of slurry shall be taken by Contractor from the absorber reaction tank via the absorber bleed pump suction sample
stations during each of the test runs. The samples shall be decanted, washed and dried in an oven at ***. This will minimize the effect of chlorides on the stoichiometric ratio analysis. *** sample shall be analyzed by the Contractor using the
Electric Power Research Institute’s (EPRI) FGD Chemistry and Analytical Methods CS-3612. The dried solids shall be analyzed using the following EPRI methods; Method L2 or a mutually agreeable test method for sulfate and Method M2 for
sulfite. The remaining samples shall be retained by the Contractor for future analysis, if required. A likewise sample of the reclaim return stream shall be collected and analyzed to determine sulfate and sulfite levels. The absorber bleed slurry
and the reclaim stream shall be evaluated using the following test methods:

	 	a.10	 Static pressure and velocity measurements for compliance with the system gas-side pressure loss guarantee shall be measured by the Contractor in
accordance with ASME PTC19.2 (Chapter 3) and EPA Method 2F or 2G, respectively. 

  

	 	a.11	 Test equipment, calibration of test equipment, and sampling procedures shall comply with Quality Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement
Systems, Vol. III, Stationary Source Specific Methods; EPA 600/4-77-027b and CFR 40, Parts 53-80, July 1, 1980; and the appropriate ASME and ASTM procedures. 

  

	 	a.12	 All references to the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), EPA reference methods, and
other standard publications are to the latest issue of each as of the date of the Agreement unless specifically stated otherwise. 

  

	 	a.13	 Deleted. 

  

	 	a.14	 Solids content: Method 13 shall be utilized to determine percent solids. 

  

	 	a.15	 Mercury: The mercury at the inlet and outlet of the wet FGD system shall be measured utilizing the Ontario Hydro Method. The inlet and outlet
concentrations (in lb/Trillion BTU) shall be used to calculate the mercury removal efficiency. 

  

	 	a.16	 Limestone reactivity & calcium carbonate content: The calcium carbonate content will be determined by EPRI methodology J1. The results of
this test will be used in conjunction with the gravimetric feeder measurement to determine limestone consumption. Limestone reactivity will be determined by the Contractor’s method. 

  

	5.1.2	 Pretest Records 

  

	 	a.	 Dimensions and physical conditions of the equipment required for calculations or other test purposes shall be determined and recorded prior to the
test. Serial numbers and data from nameplates should be recorded to identify the equipment tested. All instrumentation should be identified and model and serial numbers recorded. 

  

	5.1.3	 Protection of Instrument Uncertainty

instrumentation can either be permanent plant instrumentation or temporary test instrumentation. Total uncertainty in measurements shall be no greater than that recommended in ASME PTC-40. 

  

					
	July 19, 2007	  	Page 65 of 72	  	

			
	Exhibit 6	  	Dickerson

  

	 	b.	 Multiple instruments should be used as needed to reduce overall test uncertainty. The frequency of data collection is dependent on the particular
measurement and the duration of the test. To the extent practical, multiple readings should be collected to minimize the random error impact on the post-test uncertainty analysis. The use of automated data acquisition systems is recommended to
facilitate acquiring sufficient data. 

  

	 	c.	 Contractor shall coordinate with plant on the timing of installation of calibrated devices, but in all cases, the calibration shall have been within
*** months of the performance test. Calibration or adequate checks of all instruments, including those already installed and operating at the plant, prior to and after the test must be carried out by Contractor, and those records and calibration
reports must be made available and included in the Test Report. Following the test, re-calibration or adequate reconfirmation or verification is required. 

  

	5.1.4	 Testing Instrumentation and Equipment Inspection and Cleanliness 

  

	 	a.	 Prior to conducting a test, the cleanliness and condition of the testing instrumentation and equipment shall be determined by visual inspection or
review of operational records, or both, and witnessed by all parties. 

  

	5.1.5	 Preliminary Operation and Adjustment 

  

	 	a.	 Before starting the performance test, the equipment shall be operated for sufficient time to demonstrate mechanical operation and stable control of
the operating variable. During the period, instruments shall be checked. 

  

	5.1.6	 Preliminary Testing 

  

	 	a.	 Preliminary testing shall be conducted sufficiently in advance of the start of the overall performance test to allow time to calculate preliminary
results, make final adjustments, and modify the test requirements and/or test equipment. Results from the preliminary testing should be calculated and reviewed to identify any problems with the quantity and quality of measured data. The parties
shall mutually agree before the test to any test modifications, so determined. A preliminary test run may be accepted as a final test run by mutual agreement of all parties. 

  

	5.2	 Conduct of Test 

  

	5.2.1	 Specified Reference Conditions 

  

	 	a.	 These conditions are defined by the guarantees or objectives of the test and they form the baseline for the output corrections. Every effort should
be made to run the test under the specified conditions or as close to the specified conditions as possible, in order to minimize the effect of corrections. Test points shall be duplicated as closely as possible to those used for baseline testing of
the plant. 

  

	5.2.2	 Starting and Stopping Tests and Test Runs 

  

					
	July 19, 2007	  	Page 66 of 72	  	

			
	Exhibit 6	  	Dickerson

  

	 	a.	 The test coordinator is responsible for ensuring that all data collection begins at the agreed-upon start of the test, and that all parties to the
test are informed of the starting time. 

  

	 	b.	 Starting Criteria: prior to starting the performance test, the following conditions must be satisfied: 

  

	 	b.1	 Operation, configuration, and disposition for testing has been reached in accordance with the agreed upon test requirements, including:

  

	 	b.1.1	 Equipment operation and method of control 

  

	 	b.1.2	 Availability of fuel within the allowable limits of the fuel analysis for the test (by analysis as soon as practicable preceding the test).

  

	 	b.1.3	 Equipment operation within the manufacturer’s allowable limits and emissions within permitted limits. 

  

	 	b.2	 Stabilization: before starting the test, the equipment shall be run until stable conditions have been established. Stability will be achieved when
continuous monitoring indicates that the readings have been within the maximum permissible variation established by the manufacturer. 

  

	 	b.3	 Data Collection: data acquisition system(s) functioning, and test personnel in place and ready to collect samples or record data.

  

	 	c.	 Completion Criteria 

  

	 	c.1	 Tests are normally concluded when the test coordinator is satisfied that requirements for a complete test run have been satisfied. The test
coordinator should verify that modes of operation during test, specified herein, have been satisfied. The test coordinator may extend or terminate the test if the requirements are not met. If the test is interrupted due to circumstances beyond the
control of the Contractor, such as operator error, boiler upset, or electrical grid problems, the Contractor shall be allowed to restart testing after the interruption has been corrected. All test runs completed prior to the interruption shall be
credited toward the test run. The test data between the interruption and return to service shall not be considered as part of the data set. 

  

	5.2.3	 Operation Prior to and During Tests 

  

	 	a.	 All equipment necessary for normal and sustained operation at the specified conditions must be operated during the test or accounted for in the
corrections. Intermittent operation of equipment within the test boundary should be accounted for in a manner agreeable to all parties. 

  

	 	b.	 Auxiliary Equipment Operation: FGD booster fans, ME wash water pumps, and the seal air fan must be operating or accounted for in determining
auxiliary power loads. 

  

	 	c.	 Adjustments Prior to and during Tests: prior to start of the actual test run, adjustments are permitted provided that stabilization as defined
herein is

  

					
	July 19, 2007	  	Page 67 of 72	  	

			
	Exhibit 6	  	Dickerson

  

	 	 
established. Once the test run has started, no adjustments are permitted except by agreement of all the parties to the test. 

  

	5.2.4	 Duration of Test Run and Frequency of Readings 

  

	 	a.	 The duration of a test run and the frequency of the readings shall be selected to provide a reliable average of the readings. A *** test run is
recommended to meet the uncertainty requirements. A test can be a single *** run or the average of a series of runs, each being separately corrected, then averaged. While this procedure does not require multiple runs, the advantages of multiple runs
should be recognized as providing a means for valid rejection of bad test runs, reducing average uncertainty and to verify the repeatability of results. 

  

	5.3	 Test Records 

  

	5.3.1	 Test Readings 

  

	 	a.	 To the extent possible, test readings shall be recorded on a data acquisition system. A complete set of unaltered data acquisition sheets and
recorded charts, electronic media or facsimiles thereof, shall become the property of each party to the test at the end of the test. The observations shall include the date and time of day. They shall be the actual readings without application of
any corrections. The log sheets and all recorded charts constitute a complete record. 

  

	5.3.2	 Direct Readings 

  

	 	a.	 Direct manual readings of instruments are to be recorded at uniform frequent intervals during a test. It is preferable to observe simultaneously all
instruments at the same intervals. 

  

	5.3.3	 Certified Data 

  

	 	a.	 It is recommended that data considered to be especially important be confirmed by a second observer. 

  

	5.3.4	 Test Log 

  

	 	a.	 Every event connected with the progress of a test, however unimportant it may appear at the time, should be recorded on the test log sheets together
with the time of occurrence and the name of the observer. Particular care should be taken to record any adjustments made to any equipment under test, whether made during a run or between runs. The reasons for each adjustment shall be stated in the
test records. 

  

	5.3.5	 Test Recording Errors 

  

	 	a.	 Manual data shall be recorded in ink. In case of errors in a recorded observation, a line shall be drawn in ink through the incorrect entry, the
correct reading is to be recorded in ink and initialed above the incorrect entry, and an explanation entered in the proper place in the test records. A comparison of these observations should be made as soon as possible and any discrepancies
reconciled before the end of the test.

	5.4	 Test Validity 

  

	5.4.1	 Validity of Results 

  

	 	a.	 If, during the conduct of a test or during the subsequent analysis or interpretation of the observed data, an inconsistency is found which affects
the validity of the results, the parties should make every reasonable effort to adjust or eliminate the inconsistency by mutual agreement. Failure to reach such agreement will constitute rejection of the run or test. 

  

	5.4.2	 Reporting of Results 

  

	 	a.	 In all cases, the test results shall be reported: 

  

	 	a.1	 As calculated from the test observations, with only instrument calibration adjustments applied 

  

	 	a.2	 As corrected for deviations of the test condition from the specified conditions. 

  

	5.4.3	 Causes for Rejection of Readings 

  

	 	a.	 Upon completion of test or during the test itself, the test data shall be reviewed to determine if any data should be rejected prior to the
calculation of test results. Should serious inconsistencies which affect the results be detected, the run shall be invalidated completely, or it may be invalidated only in part if the affected part is at the beginning or at the end of the run. Refer
to ASME PTC-19.1 for data rejection criteria. 

  

	5.5	 Test Report 

  

	5.5.1	 General Requirements 

  

	 	a.	 The test report shall provide definitive statements of the purpose of the test, the methodology for attainment of the objectives and descriptions of
the results. It shall also clearly and concisely document all data generated by the test as well as ensuing computations.

 Exhibit 8C 
 Contractor’s Technical and Commercial Clarifications/Exceptions 
  

			
	  
   Item  
  
	  	  
 Clarification/Exception
  

	  
 1.
	  	  
 The Target Cost does not include any costs that may be required if any of the sites are identified as locations for federally or state listed threatened, endangered or rare species or the site is within
proximity to their habitat.
  

	2.	  	 The Target Cost does not include any costs
if any of the sites are identified as the location of any historic property.
  

	3.	  	 The Target Cost assumes no wetlands
relocation, no endangered species or archeological artifacts.
  

	4.	  	 The Target Cost does not include any fees
for building or construction permits including any required bonds. The Target Cost will be adjusted by Change Order to account for any amount Contractor may be required to pay. Such adjustment shall not be marked up for Fee or G&A.
  

	5.	  	 The Target Cost does not include any costs
for the Warranty Bond noted in Article 22.3. The Target Cost will be adjusted by Change Order to account for any amount Contractor may be required to pay. Such adjustment shall not be marked up for Fee or G&A.
  

	6.	  	 Contractor’s obligation and liability
with regard to wastewater effluent concentration guarantees including nitrogen is limited to pass through those guarantee concentrations obtained from the wastewater treatment system supplier. The Wastewater Treatment system performance guarantees
are limited to the parameters presented in Table 1.1.13 of Exhibit 6 and are limited to the Owner providing WWT influent concentrations less than the parameters shown in Exhibit 1, Article 5.
  

	7.	  	 At Owner’s direction Contractor is to
award the wastewater treatment system to Siemens and an allowance of $ *** has been included in the Target Cost for Siemens’ scope of supply. Contractor has based its supply and installation costs on the information provided by Owner. Changes
to this item will be considered a Change Order.
  

	8.	  	 Contractor has not provided a recommended
spare parts list with cost for each part. Shaw S&W will provide the recommended spare parts list as the equipment is committed and after Owner’s requirements are understood. No costs for spare parts have been included in the Target Cost.

  

	9.	  	At Owner’s direction Contractor is to award the DCS to Foxboro based upon the
terms of the Master Agreement between Mirant Services LLC and Invensys Systems, Inc., MA031006-11 executed March 26, 2007. Accordingly, Contractors obligations to Owner with regard to pricing and terms shall be limited to those contained in the
referenced Master Agreement.

   Item  
  
	  	  
 Clarification/Exception
  

	 	  	 Contractor’s estimated Target Cost includes the amount of $ *** for the Foxboro supply of the DCS. Changes to this item will be considered a Change Order.
  

	10.	  	 Contractor understands that at the
Dickerson Station two units of the three units can use the old stacks during the tie-in to the existing ductwork at the single common chimney. Owner has an isolation blanking plate that it has used to allow man-safe inspections and repairs of the
existing common chimney liner. The use of the old stacks will be required during the tie-in outage for connecting the new FGD ductwork to the FGD Booster Fans. Owner is to schedule having the existing ductwork at the breeching to the Dickerson
common chimney isolated and man-safe for the tie-in outage for the FGD system.
  

	11.	  	 Concerning the updated schedule to be
submitted by Contractor pursuant to Article.8.3.4, Contractor does not capture actuals down to the detailed schedule activities. Contractor aligns the schedule with its quantity based performance measurement system at the cost code level. Estimated
man-hours, actual man-hours, estimated quantities and actual quantities are not contained at the activity level in the Primavera schedule.

 § 1 The Contractor and the Surety, jointly and severally, bind themselves, their heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns to the Owner for the performance of the Construction Contract which is incorporated herein by reference. 
 § 2 If the Contractor performs the Construction Contract, the Surety and the Contractor shall have no obligation under this Bond, except to participate in conferences as provided in Section 3.1. 
 § 3 If there is no Owner Default, the Surety’s obligation under this Bond shall arise after: 
 § 3.1 The Owner has notified the Contractor and the Surety at its address described in Section 10 below that the Owner is considering declaring a
Contractor Default and has requested and attempted to arrange a conference with the Contractor and the Surety to be held not later than fifteen days after receipt of such notice to discuss methods of performing the Construction Contract. If the
Owner, the Contractor and the Surety agree, the Contractor shall be allowed a reasonable time to perform the Construction Contract, but such an agreement shall not waive the Owner’s right, if any, subsequently to declare a Contractor Default;
and 
 § 3.2 The owner has declared a Contractor Default and formally terminated the Contractor’s right to complete the contract, Such
Contractor Default shall not be declared earlier than twenty days after the Contractor and the Surety have received notice as provided in Section 3.1; and 
 § 3.3 The Owner has agreed to pay the Balance of the Contract Price to the Surety in accordance with the terms of the Construction Contract or to a contractor selected to perform the Construction
Contract in accordance with the terms of the contract with the Owner. 
 § 4 When the Owner has satisfied the conditions of Section 3,
the Surety shall promptly and at the Surety’s expense take one of the following actions: 
 § 4.1 Arrange for the Contractor, with
consent of the Owner, to perform and complete the Construction Contract; or 
 § 4.2 Undertake to perform and complete the Construction
Contract itself, through its agents or through independent contractors; or 
 § 4.3 Obtain bids or negotiated proposals from qualified
contractors acceptable to the Owner for a contract for performance and completion of the Construction Contract, arrange for a contract to be prepared for execution by the Owner and the contractors selected with the Owner’s concurrence, to be
secured with performance and payment bonds executed by a qualified surety equivalent to the bonds issued on the Construction Contract, and pay to the Owner the amount of damages as described in Section 6 in excess of the Balance of the Contract
Price incurred by the Owner resulting From the Contractor’s default; or 
 § 4.4 waive its right to perform and complete, arrange for
completion, or obtain a new contractor and with reasonable promptness under the circumstances: 

	 	.1	After investigation, determine the amount for which it may be liable to the Owner and, as soon as practicable after the amount is determined, tender payment therefor to
the Owner; or 

	 	.2	Deny liability in whole or in part and notify the Owner citing reasons therefor. 

 § 5 If the Surety does not proceed as provided in Section 4 with reasonable promptness, the Surety shall be deemed to be in default on this Bond fifteen days after receipt of an additional
written notice from the Owner to the Surety demanding that the Surety perform its obligations under this Bond, and the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to the Owner. If the Surety proceeds as provided in Section 4.4, and
the Owner refuses the payment tendered or the Surety has denied liability, in whole or in part, without further notice the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to the Owner. 
 § 6 After the Owner has terminated the Contractor’s right to complete the Construction Contract, and if the Surety elects to act under
Section 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3 above, then the responsibilities of the Surety to the Owner shall not be greater than those of the Contractor under the Construction Contract, and the responsibilities of the Owner to the Surety shall not be greater
than those of the Owner under the Construction Contract. To the limit of the amount of this Bond, but subject to commitment by the Owner of the Balance of the Contract Price to mitigation of costs and damages on the Construction Contract, the Surety
is obligated without duplication for:

 Exhibit 17 
 GUIDELINES FOR USE OF DISPUTE REVIEW BOARD 
 AND 

 THREE PARTY AGREEMENT 

 Exhibit 17 
 GUIDELINES FOR USE OF DISPUTE REVIEW BOARD 
 1.01 General 
  

	A.	Definitions 

 1.        Board – The Dispute Review Board. 
 2.        Contract – The Alliance Agreement and EPC Agreement of which these Guidelines are a part. 
 3.        Dispute – A claim, change order request, or other controversy that remains unresolved following good faith negotiations between authorized
representatives of the Owner and Contractor. 
 4.        Dispute Review Board – Three
neutral individuals mutually selected by the Owner and Contractor to consider and recommend resolution of Disputes referred to it. 
  

	B.	Summary 

 1.        A Dispute Review Board will be established to assist in the resolution of Disputes in connection with, or arising out of, performance of the work of this Contract. 
 2.        Either the Owner or the Contractor may refer a Dispute to the Board. Such referral should be
initiated as soon as it appears that the normal Owner-Contractor amicable dispute resolution effort through bilateral negotiations is not succeeding, and prior to filing of litigation by either party. 
 3.        Promptly thereafter, the Board will impartially consider the Dispute(s) referred to it. The Board will
provide a nonbinding written recommendation for resolution of the Dispute to the Owner and the Contractor. 
 4.        Although the recommendations of the Dispute Review Board should carry great weight for both the Owner and the Contractor, they are not binding on either party except to the extent provided
in Section 33.4 of the Contract. 
  

	C.	Scope 

 1.        These Guidelines describe the purpose, procedure, function, and features of the Dispute Review Board. A Three-Party Agreement among the Owner, Contractor, and three members using the form
and content of Attachment A will formalize creation of the Board and establish the scope of its service and the rights and responsibilities of the parties. In the event of a conflict between these Guidelines and the Three-Party Agreement, the latter
governs. 
  

 Last revised 7/19/06 

 Exhibit 17 
  

	D.	Purpose 

 1.        The Board, as an independent third party, will assist in and facilitate the timely and equitable resolution of disputes between the Owner and the Contractor in an effort to avoid acrimony,
construction delay, and more formal means of dispute resolution. 
 2.        Creation of the
Board is not intended to promote Owner or Contractor default on the responsibility of making a good-faith effort to settle amicably and fairly their differences by indiscriminate referral to the Board. 
  

	E.	Continuance of Work 

 1.        Both parties shall proceed diligently with the work and comply with all applicable Contract provisions while the Dispute Review Board considers a Dispute. 
  

	F.	Tenure of Board 

 1.        The Board will be deemed established after all parties execute the Three-Party Agreement, 
 2.        The Board will be dissolved as of the date of final payment to the Contractor unless earlier terminated or dissolved by mutual agreement of the Owner and Contractor. 
 1.02 Membership 
  

	A.	General 

 1.        The Dispute Review Board will consist of one member nominated by the Owner and approved by the Contractor, one member nominated by the Contractor and approved by the Owner, and a third
member nominated by the first two members and approved by both the Owner and the Contractor. The third member will serve as Chairman unless the parties otherwise agree. During the tenure of the Board, a party may change its nominated member by
notice to the other party, and the Board shall be recomposed for future disputes using the selection process contained in these Guidelines. If a member of the Board resigns or becomes otherwise unavailable during the hearings of a dispute, then the
parties shall immediately consult with each other regarding the mutually desired course of action, but in the absence of mutual agreement, the Board shall be recomposed using the selection process contained in these Guidelines and the dispute shall
be promptly taken up by the recomposed Board. 
  

	B.	Criteria 

 1.        Experience 
   a.        It is desirable that all Dispute Review Board members be experienced with the type of construction involved in the project, interpretation of contract documents, and resolution
of construction disputes. 
  

 Last revised 7/19/06 

 Exhibit 17 
   b.        The goal in selecting the third member is to complement the experience of the first two and to provide leadership of the Board’s
activities. 
 2.        Neutrality 
   a.        It is imperative that the Board members be neutral, act impartially, and be
free of any conflict of interest. 
   b.        For purposes of this
subparagraph, the term “member” also includes the member’s current primary or full-time employer, and “involved” means having a contractual relationship with either party to the Contract, such as a subcontractor, architect,
engineer, or construction manager. 
   c.        Prohibitions; disqualifying
relationships for prospective members: 
   (1)        an ownership interest
in any entity involved the Contract, or a financial interest in the Contract, except for payment for services on the Dispute Review Board; 
   (2)        previous employment by, or financial ties to, any party involved in the Contract within a period of 20 years prior to award of the Contract,
except for fee based consulting services on other projects; 
   (3)        a
close professional or personal relationship with any key member of any entity involved in the Contract which, in the judgment of either party, could suggest partiality; or 
   (4)        prior involvement in the project of a nature which could compromise that
member’s ability to participate impartially in the Board’s activities. 
   d.        Prohibitions; disqualifying relationships for members: 
   (1)        employment, including fee-based consulting services, by any entity involved in the Contract except with the express approval of both parties; 
   (2)        discussion concerning, or the making of, an agreement with any entity
involved in the Contract regarding employment after the Contract is completed. 
  

	C.	Disclosure Statement 

 As a part of the
selection process, the first two prospective members will be required to submit complete disclosure statements for the approval of both the Owner and the Contractor. Each statement shall include a résumé of experience, together with a
declaration describing all past, present, and anticipated or planned future relationships, including indirect relationships through the prospective members’ primary or full-time employer, to this project and with all parties involved in the
Contract, including subcontractors, design professionals, and consultants. Disclosure of close professional or personal relationships with all key members of all parties to the Contract shall be included. The third Board member will be required to
submit such a statement to the first two Board members and to the Owner and Contractor as a part of his selection and evaluation process.

 Exhibit 17 
  

	D.	Selection Process

   a.        The Owner and the Contractor shall each nominate a proposed Board member and convey the nominee’s name and disclosure statement to the other party within 4 weeks after

and approval of third member

two members, the Owner and the Contractor will notify them to begin selection of the third member. The first two members will endeavor to nominate a third member who meets all the criteria listed above. The third member shall be nominated within 4
weeks after the first two members are notified to proceed with his selection. The nominee’s name and disclosure statement will be conveyed to the Owner and the Contractor, who will either accept or reject the nominee within four weeks. No
reasons for rejection need be stated. In the event of rejection, the first two members will be requested to submit another nomination within two weeks of receipt of notice of rejection. 
   b.        In the event of an impasse in selection of the third member from nominees of
the first two members, the third member shall be selected by mutual agreement of the Owner and the Contractor. In so doing, they may, but are not required to, consider nominees offered by the first two members. 
  

	E.	Three-Party Agreement

 1.         Concise written position statements shall be prepared by both parties, with page number references to any supporting documentation, and submitted to each Board member and to the other
party.

other party. 
  

	F.	Hearing

 3.         The Owner and the Contractor shall have representatives at all hearings. The Party requesting Board review will first present its position, followed
by the other party. Each party will be allowed successive rebuttals until all aspects are fully covered. The Board members and the parties may ask questions, request clarification, or ask for additional data. In difficult or complex cases,
additional hearings may be necessary in order to facilitate full consideration and understanding of all the evidence presented by both parties. Both the Owner and the Contractor shall be provided full and adequate opportunity to present all their
evidence, documentation, and testimony regarding all issues before the Board. 
 4.         Normally, a formal transcript will not be prepared. When requested by either party, the Board may allow recordation and transcription by a court reporter with the cost to be allocated
as agreed by the parties. Audio or video recordings will not be permitted. 
 5.         Attendance
by, or participation of, lawyers will be at the discretion of the Board.

	H.	Recommendation 

 1.          The Board’s recommendation for resolution of the dispute will be provided in writing to both the Owner and the Contractor within 2 weeks of the completion of the hearings.
In difficult or complex cases, and in consideration of the Board’s schedule, this time may be extended by mutual agreement of all parties. 
  

	I.	Acceptance or Rejection 

 1.          Within 2 weeks of receiving the Board’s recommendation, or such other time specified by the Board, both the Owner and the Contractor shall provide written notice to the
other and to the Board of acceptance or rejection of the Board’s recommendation. The failure of either party to respond within the specified period shall be deemed an acceptance of the Board’s recommendation. If, with the aid of the
Board’s recommendation, the Owner and the Contractor are able to resolve their dispute, the Owner will promptly process any required Contract changes. 
  

	J.	Clarification and Reconsideration 

 1.          Should the dispute remain unresolved because of a bona fide lack of clear understanding of the recommendation, either party may request that the Board clarify specified portions
of its recommendation. 
 2.          If new evidence has become available, either party may
request that the Board reconsider its recommendation. 
  

	K.	Admissibility 

 1.          If the Board’s recommendation does not resolve the dispute, the written recommendation, including any minority report, will be admissible as evidence to the extent permitted
by law in any subsequent dispute resolution proceeding or forum to establish (a) that a Dispute Review Board considered the Dispute, (b) the qualifications of the Board members, and (c) the Board’s recommendation that resulted
from the process. 
  

	1.05	Payment 

 A.         The fees and expenses of all three members of the Board shall be shared equally by the Owner and the Contractor (Contractor’s share being an Allocable Cost under the Contract).

provide administrative services such as conference facilities and secretarial services. 
 C.         If the Board desires special services such as legal or other consultation, accounting, data research, and the like, both parties must agree, and the costs will be shared by them as
mutually agreed.
