      be provided by CONTRACTOR under this Agreement shall consist of services
      such as program management, engineering, procurement, construction management
      and other services to the extent mutually agreed upon by OWNER and CONTRACTOR.
      Procurement services, if any, shall be by CONTRACTOR as agent, acting
      for and on behalf of OWNER; construction management services, if any, shall
      consist
      of overall technical management of construction, and shall also be performed
      as

      of
      OWNER.

     

    1.2      
      For each separate assignment to be included under the provisions of this
      Agreement, a definition
      of the scope of Work and fee structure involved, hereinafter referred to as
      a
"Work
      Release" shall be determined to the mutual satisfaction of both parties.
CONTRACTOR
      shall advise OWNER of its anticipated schedule for execution of the Work
      and
      shall present to OWNER its estimate of Reimbursable Costs, as hereinafter
defined,
      to be incurred in performance of the Work.

     

    1.3      
      All
      Work
      shall be performed in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable
      Work Release.
      In the event of conflict among any of the Work Release documents, the document
      bearing the latest date shall govern. In the event of conflict between the
      Articles
      of this Agreement and any of the Work Releases, the Articles of this Agreement
      shall
      govern.

    ARTICLE
      2. TIME OF PERFORMANCE

     

    CONTRACTOR
      shall initiate Work immediately upon notice by OWNER to do so and shall exert

      of
Work.
      Failure to notify CONTRACTOR within the aforementioned ten (10) day period

    5.2      
      The existence of minor errors or inconsistencies in any of CONTRACTOR'S invoices
      shall
      not
      be cause for delay of payment. OWNER shall inform CONTRACTOR of such
errors
      or
      inconsistencies and CONTRACTOR shall correct same on its next invoice by
credit
      or
      debit to OWNER.

     8.1     
      CONTRACTOR shall treat as confidential all information furnished by OWNER which
      OWNER

      of
      its employees to any third party without the prior written consent of OWNER
      except
      as
      may be necessary in the performance of the Work. CONTRACTOR shall agree
      not

      any
      inventions are made by CONTRACTOR or its employees in the performance of

      CONTRACTOR
      shall promptly disclose same to OWNER and hereby grants to OWNER a
      non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty free, irrevocable license under any
      and
      all patents
      which may be obtained for such inventions.

    9.2    OWNER
      shall
      be responsible for dealing with all claims of patent infringement related to
      processes
      or information supplied by OWNER, and shall indemnify and save CONTRACTOR
      harmless from and against any claims of infringement relating thereto.
CONTRACTOR
      shall be responsible for dealing with all claims of patent infringement related
      solely to designs or methods supplied by CONTRACTOR, and shall indemnify
and
      save
      OWNER harmless from and against any claim of infringement relating
      thereto.

     

    ARTICLE
      10. RESPONSIBILITY OF CONTRACTOR

     

    10.1   CONTRACTOR
      warrants
      that it will perform its Work in accordance with the standards of care
      and
      diligence normally practiced by recognized engineering firms in performing
      services
      of a similar nature. If, during the one (1) year period following completion
      or
termination
      of CONTRACTOR'S Work, it is shown that these standards have not been
met,
      and
      OWNER has promptly notified CONTRACTOR in writing of such failure, CONTRACTOR
      shall perform, at its cost, such corrective services as may be necessary
within
      the original scope of its services to remedy such deficiency. This remedial
      obligation shall constitute CONTRACTOR'S sole liability and OWNER'S exclusive
      remedy
      with respect to CONTRACTOR'S Work and the activities (including engineering
      liaison
      and construction management in the field) involved in its performance,
irrespective
      of CONTRACTOR'S fault or negligence. When performing procurement services
      CONTRACTOR shall acquire the best available vendor and contractor warranties
      on behalf of Owner, but shall not itself have any liability with respect to
      materials
      or equipment purchased or fabricated. With respect to
      program
      and construction
      management, CONTRACTOR shall not responsible or liable for the ultimate
performance,
      nonperformance or malperformance (including default) of any the OWNER'S
      other contractors.

     

    10.2   In
      the event
      Contractor personnel are seconded to Company, this 10.2 shall govern such
assignment.
      CONTRACTOR shall use all reasonable efforts to ensure that CONTRACTOR
      personnel seconded to OWNER have the qualifications and experience levels
      specified by OWNER. Prior to being seconded to OWNER, CONTRACTOR personnel
      shall be informed as to the type of services which they will be expected to
      provide.
      Since CONTRACTOR personnel will work under the direction, supervision and
control
      of OWNER, CONTRACTOR does not warrant the quality of the services performed
      or results obtained. If any CONTRACTOR personnel seconded hereunder are
      unsatisfactory to OWNER then, upon written notice from the OWNER, CONTRACTOR
      shall, promptly remove such seconded personnel from OWNER'S assignment
      and use due diligence and its best efforts to provide a satisfactory
replacement
      to OWNER. All administrative costs associated with such removal of such
seconded
      personnel shall be borne by CONTRACTOR, provided always, however, that
all
      resulting out-of-pocket costs shall be borne by OWNER. The foregoing shall
      constitute
      CONTRACTOR'S sole responsibility and OWNER'S sole remedy with respect
to
      the
      qualitative performance of CONTRACTOR and its seconded personnel, irrespective
      of the fault or negligence of CONTRACTOR or its seconded personnel.

     

    ARTICLE
      11. FORCE MAJEURE

     

    If
      either
      party is rendered Linable, wholly or in part, by force majeure to carry out
      its
      obligations under
      this Agreement, other than OWNER'S obligation to make payments hereunder, that
      party shall
      give to the other party prompt written notice of the force majeure with
      reasonably full particulars
      concerning it. Thereupon the obligations of the party giving notice, so far
      as
      they are affected
      by the force majeure, shall be suspended during, but no longer than, the
      continuance of the
      force
      majeure. The affected party shall use all reasonable diligence to remove the
      force majeure
      as quickly as possible. The term "force majeure", as herein employed, shall
      without limitation,
      mean an act of God, strike, lockout, or other industrial disturbance, act of
      the
      public enemy,
      war, blockage, public riot, lightning, fire, storm, flood, explosion,
      governmental restraint, or
      any
      other cause, whether of the kind specifically enumerated above or otherwise,
      which is not reasonably
      within the control of the party claiming suspension. However, any additional
      costs incurred
      by CONTRACTOR as a result of force majeure shall be considered Reimbursable
      Costs.

    Any
      controversy or claims arising out of or relating to the Agreement shall be
      initially submitted to
      mediation. The mediation team will be two senior executives of both
      organizations and a impartial third party facilitator suitable to both parties.
      The mediation team shall meet and attempt

    Any
      controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach
      thereof, which
      cannot be resolved amicably by the mediation process described above, shall
      be
      settled by
      arbitration. This agreement to submit to arbitration shall be specifically
      enforceable under the
      prevailing arbitration law. The award of the arbitrator shall be final, and
      a
      judgment may be entered
      upon it by any court having jurisdiction. A party desiring to invoke this
      arbitration provision
      shall serve written notice upon the other of its intention to do so. Within

      of
      the date of such notice, each party shall serve upon the other the name of
      one
      impartial individual,

      industry, to serve as an arbitrator. A third arbitrator shall be designated
      within thirty (30) days thereafter by the
      two
      arbitrators.

     

    The
      arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Construction Industry
      Arbitration Rules

      the
      procedures set forth in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, but to a degree
      limited by the arbitrators as they deem appropriate to render the procedures
      economical, efficient, expeditious
      and fair. During the arbitration period, the parties shall continue to perform
      the obligations
      imposed upon them by this Agreement to the fullest extent possible, consistent
      with their
      positions with respect to the dispute.

      consent of the other
      party hereto, except that it may be assigned without such consent to the
      successor of either
      party or to a person, firm or corporation acquiring all or substantially all
      of

      any
      portion of the Work to any affiliate of CONTRACTOR. In no case shall any such
      subcontract
      relieve CONTRACTOR of any of its obligations under this Agreement; provided,
      however,
      that if portions of the Work are so subcontracted, this Agreement sets forth
      the
      overall aggregate
      liability of CONTRACTOR, all subsidiary or parent organizations, and all related
      entities
      of any subsidiary or parent organization with respect to the Work, irrespective
      of fault or negligence,
