 AMENDED AND RESTATED 
 PREFERRED EQUIPMENT SUPPLY AGREEMENT

 THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED PREFERRED EQUIPMENT SUPPLY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of
December 27, 2010 (the “Effective Date”), is executed and entered into by and between BrightSource Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BSE”), for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates including BrightSource
Industries (Israel), Ltd. (“BSII”), and ALSTOM Power Inc. (“Alstom”), a Delaware corporation (BSE and Alstom sometimes hereinafter being referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the
“Parties”), with reference to the following: 
 RECITALS 

A. BSE and Alstom have agreed to align their interests in a strategic cooperation that leverages each Party’s core strengths and
advances the Parties’ goal of developing a leading position in the worldwide market for concentrating solar power. 
 B.
Alstom has made an investment into BSE under that certain Series D Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2010, pursuant to which Alstom purchased US$ 42,035,730.14 of BSE Series D preferred stock (the “Series D Stock
Agreement”), and that certain US$ 15,508,938.26 Convertible Note, dated as of May 19, 2010, issued by BSE to Alstom (the “Note”, and together with the Series D Stock Agreement, the “Series D
Investment”), which was converted into additional shares of BSE Series D preferred stock on August 31, 2010. In addition, Alstom will be making an investment in BSE Series E preferred stock concurrently with or immediately following
the execution of this Agreement (the “Series E Investment”). 
 C. The Parties entered into the Preferred
Turbine Supplier Agreement, dated as of August 31, 2010 (the “Original PSA”), setting forth the terms and conditions under which BSE designates Alstom as its preferred supplier of STEGs for certain projects using BSE’s
solar thermal electric power plant technology (where Alstom itself or any of its Affiliates, as defined below, may act as supplier). In addition, BSE and Alstom entered into a Preferred Partnership Agreement, dated as of August 31, 2010 (the
“Preferred Partnership Agreement”) with respect to the joint marketing and selling of solar tower thermal electric power plant projects (“STTEPPs”) in certain territories. Contemporaneously with the entry into this
Agreement, Alstom and BSE are entering into an Amended and Restated Preferred Partnership Agreement (the “A&R PPA”). 
 D. The Parties wish to amend and restate the Original PSA in its entirety in order to expand the potential scope of equipment supply and reflect other certain changes in the agreements between them.

ARTICLE 2 

PREFERRED SUPPLY PROJECTS 
  

 
 2.1
Definition of Preferred Supply Project. BSE shall designate Alstom as its preferred supplier for the Specified Equipment, with rights for Alstom, itself or any Alstom Affiliate, to offer to supply STEGs, SRSGs and Other Specified Equipment as
provided in this Agreement (the “Preferred Supply Rights”), for the following Projects: 

2.1.1 For Projects in which BSE is responsible for designating the supplier of the STEG and the SRSG, BSE shall
grant Alstom the Preferred Supply Rights with respect to the STEG, the SRSG and any of the additional equipment listed on Exhibit G (and as more fully described in the Scope of Supply attached as Exhibit A) (collectively, the
“Other Specified Equipment”), to the extent that BSE has responsibility for designating the supplier of the Other Specified Equipment. If BSE for any reason does not have responsibility for designating the supplier of any piece of
Other Specified Equipment, it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the party with such responsibility grant Alstom the Preferred Supply Rights with respect to any such piece of Other Specified Equipment. 

2.1.2 For Projects in which BSE is not responsible for designating the supplier of the STEG or the SRSG, but is
responsible for designating the EPC Contractor (and such EPC Contractor is responsible for designating the supplier of the STEG and the SRSG), BSE shall, as a condition to designating the EPC Contractor, require the EPC Contractor to grant Alstom
the Preferred Supply Rights with respect to the STEG, the SRSG and the Other Specified Equipment. 
 2.1.3
For Projects in which BSE is not responsible for designating the supplier of the STEG, the SRSG or the EPC Contractor, BSE shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the party with such responsibility grant Alstom the Preferred Supply Rights
with respect to the STEG, the SRSG and the Other Specified Equipment. If, notwithstanding such commercially reasonable efforts, Alstom is not granted the Preferred Supply Rights, BSE’s obligations under this Agreement shall not apply to such
Project. 
 Any Project for which Alstom has been granted the Preferred Supply Rights shall be referred to herein as a “Preferred Supply
Project.” The Parties agree that the Ivanpah Projects shall not be Preferred Supply Projects. 
 2.2 Number of
Preferred Supply Projects. BSE’s obligations to grant the Preferred Supply Rights to Alstom under this Agreement shall apply until the Exclusive Project Limit has been reached. A Preferred Supply Project shall be counted toward the
Exclusive Project Limit in each of the following circumstances: 
 2.2.1 when Alstom has entered the
applicable Equipment Supply Agreements for the Project, and financial closing for such Project has occurred; 

  
 7 

			
	Confidential Document	 	December 27, 2010

  

 
  

2.2.2 when Alstom has been granted the Preferred Supply Rights but has, in whole or in part, elected not to supply
equipment; 
 2.2.3 when Alstom has provided a Supply Offer, but did not proceed to one or more Equipment
Supply Agreements because the Supply Offer, in whole or in part, was determined to be uncompetitive pursuant to the procedures of ARTICLE 4; or 
 2.2.4 when Alstom has provided a Supply Offer that has not yet resulted in an Equipment Supply Agreement, provided that: (a) in case of a third party project involving a competitive tender,
until a third party has been awarded the tender in a final manner; and (b) with respect to any Preferred Supply Project, for so long as BSE can show that permitting and financing of the Project are being actively pursued. In any event, if a
Supply Offer does not result in related executed Equipment Supply Agreement(s) within [*] of the Supply Offer, the Supply Offer will no longer be credited against the Exclusive Project Limit and the provisions of this Agreement will be reinstituted
going forward with respect to the size and number of the Preferred Supply Projects covered by such Supply Offer. After reaching the Exclusive Project Limit, BSE may enter into discussions with another party for a Project that would otherwise be a
Preferred Supply Project hereunder, and such Project shall not be subject to this Agreement notwithstanding any reinstitution of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.2.4. 

2.3 Exceptions. The obligations of BSE to grant Alstom the Preferred Supply Rights do not apply when and to the extent that:

 (a) following ten (10) business days after a written request by BSE for a particular Project as provided in
Section 3.1, Alstom has not confirmed in writing that Alstom or an Alstom Affiliate can deliver the STEG and/or the SRSG requested by BSE for the related Project at BSE’s requested time of delivery in accordance with this Agreement;
provided always that BSE has requested an offer for such Project from Alstom (or an Alstom Affiliate) within the range of time of delivery as set forth in the Key Terms and otherwise in keeping with this Agreement, and provided further
that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Alstom shall be granted the Preferred Supply Rights if no third party supplier has offered a time of delivery for such STEG and/or SRSG, as applicable, earlier than that proposed by Alstom (or an Alstom
Affiliate); 
 (b) the supply of the STEG and/or the SRSG by Alstom or any Alstom Affiliate is prohibited in a definite manner
by local law or by permit requirements for a particular Project (provided always that, to the extent BSE has control over the permitting process for such Project, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to have such permits allow supply
of the STEG and/or the SRSG by Alstom or an Alstom Affiliate), in which case such Project shall not be a Preferred Supply Project. 
 2.4 Non-Preferred Supply Projects. If a Project is not a Preferred Supply Project because, for example, BSE does not have the ability to designate or otherwise arrange for Alstom to have the
opportunity to be the supplier of both the STEG and the SRSG, BSE may (but shall have no obligation to) offer Alstom the opportunity to supply the equipment available to supply, but such supply shall not be credited toward the Exclusive Project
Limit.

 2.5 [*] Design and Development 
 (a) [*] Agreement. The Parties will
diligently work together to enter into an agreement setting forth the Parties’ intentions relating to the [*] design and development (the “[*] Agreement”). 

(b) BSE Information and Support for [*] Development. The Parties acknowledge that, in order for Alstom to be capable of

 4.1 Absence of Reference Price. If no Reference Price has been established for the applicable Specified Equipment in accordance with Section 3.2.2, the following procedure shall apply:

 4.1.1 BSE’s Price Review Notice shall provide reasons and supporting data (to the extent
reasonably obtainable in the period from receipt of the Supply Offer until the Price Review Notice is due) for BSE’s opinion and specify the elements of the Supply Offer which BSE considers not to be competitive. 

4.1.2 If the Parties cannot agree on a new price for the applicable Specified Equipment within [*] of Alstom’s
receipt of the Price Review Notice, then either Party shall be entitled to request the appointment of an independent third party expert (an “Expert”) to evaluate the applicable portion of the Supply Offer. The Parties agree that [*]
are acceptable Experts (the “Expert Pool”) for purposes of this ARTICLE 4. The Expert shall be nominated pursuant to the following procedure: 

4.1.2.1 The Party requesting the appointment of an Expert in accordance with the above shall send a notice to the
other Party including the proposed Person, chosen from the Expert Pool, to act as Expert; 
 4.1.2.2
Within [*] of receiving the requesting Party’s notice in accordance with Section 4.1.2.1 above, the other Party shall notify the requesting Party stating whether (i) it agrees to such Person acting as Expert or (ii) it
vetoes such Person (without need to provide any reason), in which case it shall propose another Person, chosen from the Expert Pool, to act as Expert; 
 4.1.2.3 If the other Party exercised its right of veto pursuant to Section 4.1.2.2 item (ii) above, the requesting Party shall within [*] of receiving the response pursuant to
Section 4.1.2.2 above, notify the other Party whether (i) it agrees with the Person proposed by the other Party, in which case such Person shall be appointed as Expert or (ii) it refuses such Person, in which case the
requesting Party shall nominate a different Person from the Expert Pool who shall be appointed as Expert. 
 For the avoidance
of doubt, to the extent that both Parties expressly agree, the Parties may agree on a Person outside the Expert Pool who has a sound technical expertise and is knowledgeable in the field of the applicable Specified Equipment and solar thermal

4.1.4 If the price specified in the Supply Offer for the applicable Specified Equipment is less than or equal to
[*]% of the Market Price, then the Supply Offer shall be deemed competitive. If the price specified in the Supply Offer for the applicable Specified Equipment is more than [*]% of the Market Price, then the Parties shall enter into additional
discussions for a period of [*]to attempt to improve the price to make it acceptable to BSE. If Alstom adjusts its price to [*], then such price shall be deemed acceptable to BSE. If the Parties are unable to agree on a new price and terms after
such [*]period, then BSE shall be entitled to solicit third party offers for the applicable Specified Equipment as provided in Section 4.1.6. 
 4.1.5 The costs of the Expert’s services shall be paid (i) by Alstom if the price specified in the Supply Offer for the applicable Specified Equipment is more than [*]% of the Market
Price and (ii) by BSE if said price is less than or equal to [*]% of the Market Price. If an advance needs to be paid to the Expert, each Party shall pay 50%, and upon determination of the Market Price by the Expert the Party that has to bear
the costs pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall reimburse the other Party for the other Party’s portion of any advance paid. 
 4.1.6 If the Expert determines that the Supply Offer is not competitive as provided in Section 4.1.4 and the Parties are unable to agree on a new price and terms during the [*] period
referenced in Section 4.1.4, BSE may solicit third-party offers for supplying the applicable Specified Equipment to the Preferred Supply Project to which the Supply Offer related. In soliciting third party offers, BSE shall follow an
open and transparent bidding process using pre-defined evaluation criteria and shall continue to include Alstom as a bidder in that process, without prejudice. Once the bids have been received, BSE shall review the bids and select the most
competitive bid based on price and other terms corresponding to the Key Terms. BSE may not award the tender to a third party if the price and terms offered by such third party are not more favourable to BSE than those for the applicable Specified
Equipment in the Supply Offer. Should the tender be awarded to a third party, BSE shall provide Alstom for information purposes only with feedback consistent with the evaluation criteria, but subject to usual confidentiality restrictions in the
respective bids. Such feedback information provided to Alstom shall include as a minimum the difference between the Supply Offer for the applicable Specified Equipment (or, as the case may be, the revised bid submitted by Alstom or relevant Alstom
Affiliate in the bidding process) and the other bids received, on a no-name basis, in terms of delivery lead time, performance guarantees, price and warranties, using, for STEGS the standard bid ranking matrix, a form of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit E, and for any other Specified Equipment any such similar bid ranking matrix. 
 4.2 Existing Reference
Price. If and to the extent that the Parties have defined a Reference Price for the applicable Specified Equipment, the procedure described in this Section 4.2 shall apply in lieu of the procedure described in

4.2.1.2 If BSE is of the opinion that the price specified in a Supply Offer for the applicable Specified Equipment
should be lower by reason of the existence of reducing factors, BSE shall provide in the Price Review Notice reasons that such decrease is in keeping with price decreases in the relevant market. 

4.2.2 Within [*] of receiving a Price Review Notice in accordance with Section 4.2.1, Alstom shall
provide a written response to the Price Review Notice (the “Price Review Response”), whereby Alstom either: 
 4.2.2.1 provides BSE with a revised price; or 

4.2.2.2 provides BSE with the reasons for the price initially quoted in the Supply Offer, i.e.: 

(a) to the extent the Price Review Notice questions a price increase, Alstom shall provide BSE with the reasons for such
increase; 
 (b) if a price decrease is requested in the Price Review Notice based on reducing factors, Alstom
shall provide reasons why in its opinion such factors do not justify a price decrease. 
 4.2.2.3 The
Price Review Response may combine a revised price as per Section 4.2.2.1 and reasons as per Section 4.2.2.2. 
 4.2.3 Within [*] of receiving the Price Review Response, BSE shall notify Alstom whether it accepts the revised price and/or explanations (as applicable) provided in the Price Review Response.

 4.2.4 If the Parties cannot agree on the price within [*] of BSE’s receipt of the Price Review
Response, then either Party shall be entitled to request the appointment of an Expert in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 4.1.2.

(including commodity and other price indices, overall equipment supply and demand, exchange rates, etc., in each case as relevant to the applicable Specified Equipment); in doing so the Expert shall consider the Parties’ respective reasons
provided pursuant to Section 4.2.1 and Section 4.2.2, if any. [*] 
 4.2.6 If the
price specified in the Supply Offer for the applicable Specified Equipment (as such price may have been revised pursuant to Section 4.2.2) is less than or equal to [*] of the Reference Price adjusted according to the Market Change
Percentage (the “Adapted Reference Price”), then the applicable portion of the Supply Offer shall be deemed competitive.

INDEMNIFICATION AND LIABILITY 
  

 
 8.1
Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party, its Affiliates, and its or their officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives against and from any
losses, damages, costs, expense, fines, charges and liabilities suffered or incurred by any such Person to the extent arising out of, or resulting from third party claims against such Person arising from the first Party’s negligence or breach
of this Agreement. If any legal proceedings are instituted or any claim or demand is asserted by any third party in respect of which indemnification may be sought under this Section 8.1, the indemnified Party shall, within twenty
(20) days of actual receipt thereof by a responsible officer, cause written notice of such legal proceedings or the assertion of such claim or demand to be forwarded to the indemnifying Party, specifying the nature of such legal proceedings,
claim or demand and the estimated amount thereof to the extent feasible. The indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its option and its own expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice and to participate in, or take control of, the
defense, negotiations and/or settlement of any proceeding, claim or demand that relates to any amounts indemnifiable or potentially indemnifiable under this Section 8.1. The indemnifying Party and the indemnified party shall cooperate
fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such legal proceeding, claim or demand. Any liability of a Party arising under this Section 8.1 shall be limited to [*]. 

8.2 Limitation of Liability. Neither Party will be liable to the other, whether in contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise,
for loss of use, loss of goodwill or reputation, loss of savings or profit, loss of revenue, loss of contract, or for any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss or damage suffered by the other Party, except in the event of a Party’s Gross
Negligence, intentional fraud or willful violation of law. “Gross Negligence” means an act or omission, which is contrary to the most elementary rules of diligence, which an experienced and conscientious Person could have been
expected to follow in similar circumstances, such as to constitute a reckless disregard for the harmful, foreseeable and avoidable consequences of such act or omission.

Consultation. Any dispute, controversy or claim (each, a “Dispute”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the interpretation, breach, termination or validity hereof, shall be resolved at the first instance through
consultation between the Parties. Such consultation shall begin immediately after a Party has delivered written notice to the other Party requesting such consultation. 
 9.2 Binding Arbitration. If the Dispute is not resolved within fifteen (15) days following the date on which such notice is given, the Dispute shall be submitted to confidential, binding
arbitration at the request of either Party with notice to the other Party. The arbitration shall be conducted in New York, New York and shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA in force at the time of the commencement of the arbitration (the “Rules”). Three (3) arbitrators shall be appointed as follows: the Party requesting arbitration shall appoint one
arbitrator and disclose the name of such arbitrator in its demand (as defined in the Rules), and the other Party shall appoint one arbitrator and disclose the name of such arbitrator in its answering statement (as defined in the Rules). The two
arbitrators shall then have ten (10) business days to agree on and select a third arbitrator, who shall act as the chairman. If the two arbitrators appointed by the Parties cannot agree on the third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be
selected in accordance with the Rules. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English. Each Party (a) hereby irrevocably agrees that all complaints shall be heard and determined exclusively by the AAA, and (b) agrees not to
commence any action, suit or proceeding relating to this Agreement by any means whatsoever other than initiating arbitration in the AAA (subject only to Section 9.3). The award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and binding and
may be entered and enforced as a final judgment in accordance with New York law in any court of competent jurisdiction. 

9.3 Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this ARTICLE 9 shall prevent a Party from seeking
preliminary injunctive relief from a court and each Party irrevocably agrees to submit to the jurisdiction and venue of any court of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of the State of New York for the
purpose of any such suit, action or other proceeding.

 THIS GUARANTEE is made on the
_________________ 
 BY 

ALSTOM Power Inc., a Delaware corporation with registered office at 200 Great Pond Drive, 06095 Windsor, Connecticut, United States of America, the
“Guarantor” 
 IN FAVOUR OF 
 [ — ] [BSE or other Buyer under the relevant Equipment Supply Agreement], the “Beneficiary” 

WHEREAS: 
  

	(A)	By that certain Equipment Supply Agreement, dated [ — ] (the “Contract”),
between the Beneficiary and [ — ] [Name and registered office of Alstom entity acting as Seller under the relevant Equipment Supply Agreement] (the
“Seller”), the Seller has agreed to deliver [describe quantity and pieces of Equipment to be delivered] (the “Equipment”) upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Contract; 

 

	(B)	At the request of the Beneficiary and pursuant to Section 3.1 of that certain Amended and Restated Preferred Equipment Supply Agreement, dated [ — ], the Guarantor has agreed to guarantee due performance of the Contract by the Seller as set out herein. 

 IN CONSIDERATION OF THE ABOVE PREMISES, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS: 
 Capitalized words
and expressions used herein shall, unless otherwise defined, have the same meanings as are ascribed thereto in the Contract. 

In consideration of the Beneficiary entering into the Contract with the Seller, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably guarantees to the
Beneficiary due performance by the Seller of all of its obligations and liabilities under and in accordance with the Contract, as set out herein below (the “Guaranteed Obligations”): 

 

	(1)	 If at any time the Seller fails or has failed to perform any of its obligations under the Contract, the Guarantor shall perform (or procure the
performance of) the Seller’s obligations under the Contract and shall pay any sums that may be payable under the 

  
 F-1

			
	Confidential Document	 	December 27, 2010

  

	 	
Contract as a result of the non-performance by the Seller of any of its obligations thereunder, after receipt of a written demand from the Beneficiary (the “Demand”) provided
that (i) the Demand is accompanied by a written statement issued by the Beneficiary that Seller has failed to fulfill its obligations under the Contract enclosing all relevant details of the alleged failure and that (ii) a corresponding
Demand has first been made to the Seller pursuant to the Contract. A Demand, or payment or performance of less than all of the Guaranteed Obligations in response thereto, shall in no event limit the Beneficiary’s right to assert additional
Demands or the Guarantor’s obligation to pay or perform such additional Demands, subject always to the limitations set out in this Guarantee including without limitation the Cap. Except if and to the extent that the sums claimed in the Demand
are disputed by the Guarantor, payment under this Guarantee will be made by the Guarantor by federal wire transfer or in accordance with any such other reasonable wire instructions notified by the Beneficiary to Guarantor, within [*] following
receipt of the Beneficiary’s Demand in accordance herewith; provided, that if such disputed amounts are ultimately determined to be payable under the Guarantee, interest shall be due on the withheld amounts to the extent payable by Seller under
the Contract. 

  

	(2)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor hereunder be greater, either in the cumulative
aggregate or in respect of any individual claim, than the obligations and liabilities of the Seller under the Contract and the Guarantor’s cumulative liability hereunder shall be limited at all times to [ — ] [[*]] (the “Cap”). The Guarantor shall be entitled to all defenses, limitations, remedies and exclusions available to the Seller under, or otherwise with respect to,
the Contract, and the Guarantor shall be entitled to assert any counterclaim to the same extent that the Seller would be entitled to assert with respect to such payment or performance of any obligations, except for defenses arising out of the
bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation of Seller, the power or authority of Seller to enter into the Contract, and to perform its Guaranteed Obligations thereunder. 

If applicable (in case of more than one piece of Equipment): The Cap shall automatically be reduced pro rata of the value of each
piece of Equipment at the date when the Warranty Period relating to each such piece of Equipment expires. 
 The obligations of
Guarantor contained herein are not conditioned in any way upon the institution of suit or the taking of any other action (except as expressly provided in Section 1 hereof), or attempt to enforce performance of or compliance with the
Guaranteed Obligations. If and to the extent any payment made pursuant to the Guaranteed Obligations under the Contract is deemed to constitute liquidated damages, Guarantor and the Beneficiary acknowledge and agree that such damages are difficult
or impossible to determine and that such payment constitutes a reasonable approximation of the amount of such damages, and not a penalty. 
  

	(3)	This Guarantee shall extend to any variation of or amendment to the Contract and to any agreement supplemental thereto agreed between the Beneficiary and the Seller,
being however specified that the Guarantor’s cumulative liability hereunder shall be limited at all times to the Cap set out in Section 2.

	(4)	Guarantor hereby waives without impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder: 

 

	 	a.	notice of acceptance of this Guarantee, notice of creation or existence of any of the obligations under the Contract and notice of any action by the Beneficiary in
reliance hereon or in connection herewith; 

  

	 	b.	notice of or consent to the entry into the Contract by the Seller and the Beneficiary and any amendments thereto, including but not limited to changes in the manner,
place, or terms of payment or performance of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations (subject always to limits set out in this Guarantee including without limitation Sections 2 and 14); and 

 

	 	c.	notice of or consent to any increase, reduction or rearrangement of the Seller’s obligations under the Contract or any extension of time for the payment of any
sums due and payable by the Seller to the Beneficiary under the Contract, it being understood that the Guarantor’s cumulative liability hereunder shall in no event be greater than the Cap; 

provided, however, that Guarantor does not waive any notice requirement which must be given by the Beneficiary and received by the Seller
in accordance with the terms of the Contract, the giving of which and the passage of any related notice or grace period being required in order for a payment obligation by the Seller to be due and payable under the Contract for non-payment.

  

	(5)	Guarantor agrees that Guarantor’s liability to the Beneficiary hereunder shall not be released or impaired by the occurrence of any one or more of the following
events: 

  

	 	a.	the insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or receivership of Guarantor or Seller; 

 

	 	b.	the exercise, failure to exercise or delay by the Beneficiary to exercise, in whole or in part, any right or remedy held by the Beneficiary against Seller or Guarantor
with respect to the Contract or this Guarantee; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to waive any applicable statute of limitations or permit Beneficiary to recover amounts from both Seller and Guarantor for the same portion of
the same claim; 

  

	 	c.	the sale, encumbrance, transfer or modification of the ownership of Guarantor or Seller, or any change in the financial condition or management of Guarantor or Seller;

  

	 	d.	any lack of consideration with respect to the Contract or this Guarantee and any and all amendments thereof; 

 

	 	e.	any lack of corporate power or authority of Guarantor or Seller; or

defense of a surety or guarantor. 

  

	(6)	The Guarantor’s obligations as guarantor shall be in addition to and independent from every other security which the Beneficiary may at any time hold in respect of
any of Seller’s obligations under the Contract. However, the Beneficiary shall not be entitled to enforce its rights and claims under this Guarantee to the extent that the Beneficiary has already received payment or discharge under any other
security that the Guarantor may hold in respect of the Seller’s obligations which are secured by this Guarantee.

	(10)	Except as otherwise provided in this Guarantee, each remedy, right, and power granted to the Beneficiary or allowed it by applicable law shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any other and may be exercised by the Beneficiary from time to time.

MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT 
 This Master Services Agreement (including all Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto, this “Agreement”) is entered into as of December 17, 2008 (the “Effective Date”) by
and between Chevron Technology Ventures, a division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, with an office address at 3901 Briarpark Drive, Houston, Texas 77042, (the “Company”) and BrightSource Construction
Management, Inc. (“Provider”), a California corporation, with an office address at 1999 Harrison Street, Suite 2150, Oakland, California 94612, and for the limited purposes of agreeing to Sections 8, 11 and 36 hereof,
BrightSource Industries (Israel) Ltd. (“BSII”), and for the limited purposes of agreeing to Sections 7(b), 11, 14, 17(b), 34 and 36 hereof and guaranteeing all of Provider’s and BSII’s obligations hereunder,
BrightSource Energy, Inc., (“BSE,” together with its subsidiaries, including Provider and BSII, “BrightSource”). The Company and Provider are individually referred to herein as a “Party” and
collectively or jointly as the “Parties”. 
 W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, the Company would like to have Provider provide to it certain technical, developmental, engineering, procurement,
construction and consulting services for the design and construction of a Solar-to-Steam Demonstration Plant at the Company’s oil production facility in Coalinga, California (the “Demo Plant” or “Project”); and

 WHEREAS, Provider is willing to provide such services to the Company as more fully set forth below. 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows.

  

	1.	Work. 

  

	 	(a)	 Scope of Work. Provider agrees to perform design, technical, developmental, engineering, procurement, installation, construction, consulting and
other services required for the Project (collectively, the “Services”). Without limiting the foregoing, the Services include all labor necessary to perform such Services, including the services set forth in Exhibit A. The Services; all
deliverables related thereto (the “Deliverables”); and all materials, fabrications, assemblies, equipment, supplies, spare parts and components incorporated or to be incorporated into the Project or furnished pursuant to this
Agreement (collectively, the “Products”) as set forth in Exhibit A are collectively referred to herein as the “Work.” Provider shall perform the Work under the terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance of

  
 1 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
doubt, the Work does not include the obligations or performance of Provider or BrightSource under Sections 13 or 14. 

 

	 	(b)	Warranties. 

  

	 	(i)	Provider represents and warrants that it fully understands the Work to be performed as well as the Company’s purposes and objectives relative to the Work to the
extent described in this Agreement and will perform the Services in a professional, timely and diligent manner in accordance with the Requirements and consistent with that employed by a reasonably prudent provider of similar services servicing its
own business and as otherwise required by this Agreement. Provider further represents and warrants that its personnel shall be qualified and skilled in the Services they provide. Further, Provider represents and warrants that it has knowledge and
expertise in the field of solar technology and related technologies as required by the Work. Provider shall ensure that its personnel and subcontractors who provide Services under this Agreement will possess sufficient educational qualifications and
experience to provide such Services in a professional, timely and diligent manner. If the Company becomes dissatisfied with any such personnel or subcontractor, Provider shall cooperate to remedy the problem as soon as possible and, if reasonably
requested by the Company, remove from the Project any individual who is the subject of dissatisfaction and replace that individual with other personnel reasonably approved by the Company. 

 

	 	(ii)	In the event Provider fails to perform or complete all or any portion of the Services in accordance with subsection (b)(i) above, subject to Sections 1(j) and 15,
Provider shall re-perform the non-conforming Services at Provider’s sole cost and expense so that such Services comply in all material respects with the requirements of this Agreement. 

 

	 	(iii)	Provider represents and warrants to the Company that: 

  

	 	(A)	All Products are new, unused, of the grade(s) specified (if any), of a suitable quality for their intended use, and further meet the Requirements.

  

	 	(B)	All Products will be free from defects in design, materials, and workmanship. 

  
 2 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

 

	 	(C)	The Work will not infringe or violate the intellectual property rights or interest of any third party. 

 

	 	(D)	The Project will be designed, engineered, installed, constructed, interconnected, tested, commissioned, and completed in accordance with the Requirements.

  

	 	(E)	[Deleted] 

  

	 	(F)	Title to all Products and Deliverables is vested in the Company, free of any liens or other adverse claims, upon payment thereof pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
(the foregoing warranties in Sections 1(b)(iii)(A) – (F) being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Warranty”). 

  

	 	(G)	The Warranty shall not include loss, damage or failure to the extent caused by (i) normal wear and tear; or (ii) operation and maintenance in a manner that is
inconsistent with (x) manufacturers’ recommendations, (y) Prudent Industry Practices, or (z) the Project and/or equipment designs and specifications. 

 

	 	(iv)	To the extent that third party warranties on materials or equipment incorporated into the Work exceed the Provider warranty period, Provider assigns such warranties to
the Company at the expiration of the Provider warranty period. 

  

	 	(v)	If, at any time prior to the expiration of the applicable warranty period, the Company discovers any breach of the Warranty other than the Warranty in
Section 1(b)(iii)(C), subject to Section 15, Provider shall, at Provider’s sole cost and expense, promptly correct such breach in a manner and at such times that to the extent reasonably practicable minimizes any interruption of the
Company’s or Provider’s operation of the Project, whether by repair, retrofit, replacement or otherwise (which corrective action shall include any necessary removal, disassembly, re-design, reinstallation, reassembly, reconstruction or
retesting and commissioning of any part or portion of the Work) so that the Work complies with the Warranty. Any remedial action performed by Provider shall be covered by the Warranty until expiration of the warranty period applicable to such
portion of the Work. 

  

	 	(vi)	 Where remedial action is required by Provider under subsections (b)(ii) or (b)(v) above, Provider shall promptly

  
 3 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
commence corrective action after notice thereof, and shall complete such action within a reasonable period of time. If Provider fails to promptly commence the corrective action or fails to
diligently continue such corrective action until completion, the Company has the right to remedy the defect by itself or by engaging another contractor, and Provider is responsible for all reasonable costs, subject to Section 15, incurred by
the Company in connection with such corrective action. 

  

	 	(vii)	Provider shall conduct annual inspection procedures to confirm that the Work meets the Warranties in subsection (b)(iii) above (other than the Warranties in Sections
1(b)(iii)(C) and 1(b)(iii)(F)) until the expiration of the applicable warranty period with respect to such Work set forth in Section 1(j). The first annual inspection shall be conducted one calendar year after successful completion of the
Startup Test (as defined in Exhibit F) and thereafter on each anniversary thereof until the expiration of the applicable warranty period. 

  

	 	(viii)	If, at any time prior to the expiration of the applicable warranty period, the Company discovers any breach of the Warranty in Section 1(b)(iii)(C), subject to
Section 15, Provider shall, at Provider’s option, (i) procure for the Company the right to use the Work that does not comply with Section 1(b)(iii)(C); or (ii) replace or modify the Work that does not comply with
Section 1(b)(iii)(C) so that it does comply with Section 1(b)(iii)(C). 

  

	 	(c)	Subcontractors and Vendors. 

  

	 	(i)	Provider agrees that all subcontractors (any subcontractors of Provider being referred to herein as “Subcontractors”) shall possess suitable training
(including all Company training requirements set forth in this Agreement), experience and expertise with respect to the portion of the Work it is to provide. Provider shall be responsible and liable for the actions and inactions of its
Subcontractors as if the Subcontractors were Provider itself. 

  

	 	(ii)	 Prior to executing any Subcontracts or Major Equipment supplier purchase agreements for the Project, Provider shall provide Company with a list of its
intended Subcontractors and Major Equipment suppliers for the Work. Provider shall submit to Company prequalification packages (including the forms in Exhibit E-1, Appendix B), license and insurance

  
 4 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
information for all Subcontractors. Prior to commencement of the applicable portion of the Work, Provider shall provide Company with a list of its intended lower-tiered subcontractors. Within
five (5) working days of receipt of the applicable list, Company shall have the right to reasonably object to any Subcontractors, lower-tiered subcontractors or suppliers listed by Provider, and the parties will thereafter meet and confer with
respect to any Company objection. Subcontractors and lower-tiered subcontractors must meet minimum safety requirements and safety record index threshold required by Company to be prequalified. So long as (1) Provider has met and conferred with
Company, (2) the Subcontractor or the lower-tiered subcontractor in question meets minimum safety requirements and the safety record index threshold required by Company, and (3) Company cannot reasonably demonstrate a material issue of
reliability with the Subcontractor, lower-tiered subcontractor or supplier objected to, Provider may hire such Subcontractor, lower-tiered subcontractor or supplier despite Company’s reasonable objection. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Company
may require that Provider use another proposed subcontractor, lower-tiered subcontractor or supplier so long as Company agrees (pursuant to a Change Order) to compensate Provider for any change in the subcontract or purchase order cost. If the
rejected low-cost subcontractor or supplier submits an invoice and demands payment for the cost of preparing and clarifying its proposal, the Parties will in good faith consider whether or not such cost will be included in the Change Order.

  

	 	(iii)	 In the event of a termination of this Agreement due to a breach by Provider, Provider shall if requested by the Company promptly assign to the Company
all of its rights and obligations under all subcontracts and Major Equipment vendor supply contracts entered into by Provider with respect to the Work and the Company may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, enforce directly against any such
Subcontractor or vendor all rights of Provider under such contracts. Upon such assignment, Company shall receive all benefits under such subcontract or vendor contract and shall assume all obligations thereunder without recourse to Provider, except
to the extent of any payment obligations thereunder that should have been satisfied from payments of the Contract Price to date, or any breach of such subcontract or vendor contract by Provider prior to the date of the assignment. All subcontracts
and Major Equipment vendor supply contracts entered into by Provider 

  
 5 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
shall contain a provision whereby the Subcontractor or vendor agrees and consents to such assignment by Provider to the Company, subject to the Company assuming all obligations of Provider under
said contract. 

  

	 	(iv)	Provider shall include a provision in its contracts with Subcontractors that the Subcontractor in question abide by and observe all Applicable Laws, rules and
regulations, all applicable safety and security regulations, including minimum Company safety requirements set forth in Exhibits E and E-1, and all applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each Subcontractor shall supply contractual
warranties with respect to workmanship and materials for period of one (1) year from the time the Work performed by such Subcontractor is completed and indemnification to protect and indemnify Provider that reflect the nature, extent, and
location of such Subcontractor’s activities and typical industry provisions, but without derogation of Provider’s warranty and indemnification obligations herein. Provider shall require all Subcontractors to comply with the provisions of
this subsection (iv) and all other provisions hereunder specifically requiring such compliance by insertion of the applicable requirements hereof and thereof in a written agreement between Provider and Subcontractors. 

 

	 	(v)	In the event of non-payment of sums due third parties from Provider for any portion of the Work, the Company reserves the right to pay such third parties directly, but
only in strict accordance with the subcontract with such third party and not in advance of any amounts due thereunder, and deduct the amount so paid from the total amount due to Provider pursuant to Exhibit B, provided, however that the aforesaid
shall not limit Provider’s discretion in subcontracting all or part of the Project to third parties. 

  

	 	(d)	 Representative of Each Party. Each Party shall have a designated employee be its representative under this Agreement. The representative for
each Party shall be the individual designated to receive notice for such Party under Section 22 hereof. Provider shall not change its representative during the course of the Work hereunder unless agreed to in writing by the Company, which
agreement shall not be unreasonably denied or delayed. Company shall not change its representative during the course of the Work hereunder except upon written notice to Provider, such change to be effective upon receipt of such notice. Each
designated representative of a Party shall have complete authority to act for such party with respect to this Agreement except to the extent such

	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
authority is expressly and specifically limited by a written notice to the other Party. Each Party’s authorized representative shall be the only person to whom the other Party shall issue
instructions, orders or directions, except in an emergency. 

  

	 	(e)	Independent Contractor. Provider shall perform the Work as an independent contractor, retaining complete control over its personnel and operations, and
conforming to all applicable labor laws, regulations and orders with respect to its employees. Neither Provider nor its employees shall be the Company’s employees or agents, or have any authority to represent or bind the Company. During the
performance of the Work, Provider shall consult frequently with the Company’s designated representative in order to ensure that the specific Work is being performed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

 

	 	(f)	Progress Reports. Provider shall furnish the Company’s designated representative reports as to the progress made on the Work as set forth in Exhibit H.

  

	 	(g)	Compliance with Employment Laws. Provider shall pay when due to all personnel used by it for the Work all salaries, wages, fringe benefits, other forms of
compensation, and reimbursement payable as a result of or in connection with performance of the Work and shall withhold and pay over to the appropriate authorities in a timely manner all Federal, State and local personal income and other payroll
taxes (including contributions or taxes assessed against employees) payable with respect to such compensation. Provider shall in a timely manner make all reports concerning such personnel required by governmental authorities. The Company, from time
to time, may require Provider to furnish evidence satisfactory to the Company that Provider has complied with the provisions of this subsection (g). The Company, in the event it is so required by law, may withhold from Provider’s compensation
and pay to Federal or State tax authorities any tax levied or assessed on account of Provider’s Work hereunder, subject to Company’s obligation to pay certain taxes with respect to the Work as set forth in Section 10. Provider shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, or any of its Affiliates, and the agents and employees of any of them, from and against any and all loss, damage or liability to any of them (including, without limitation, taxes, penalties and interest)
resulting from Provider’s failure to comply with the provisions of this subsection (g). For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing claims constitute Third Party Claims not subject to the limitations on liability set forth in Section 15.

	 	(h)	Termination of Work. The Company may only terminate the Work as set forth in Section 23. 

 

	 	(i)	Change Orders. 

  

	 	(i)	Change Orders Generally. Changes and/or modifications to the Work and/or Milestone Schedule (as set forth in Exhibit A-5, the “Milestone
Schedule”) shall be authorized by a written Change Order signed by both Company and Provider (a “Change Order”). The Change Order shall state the change and/or modification to the Work and/or the Milestone Schedule and any
related additional compensation to be paid or extension of time. Except pursuant to a Change Order executed by the Company, Provider shall not commence any Work or make any changes to the Milestone Schedule for which it will contend that extra
compensation or extension of time is or will be due. In addition, if Company requests a proposal from Provider for a change to the Work or the Milestone Schedule and Company subsequently elects to not proceed with such change, Company agrees that a
Change Order shall be issued to reimburse Provider for any costs reasonably incurred for estimating services, design and/or preparation of the proposal requested by the Company. Exhibit H contains additional protocols applicable to Change Orders.

  

	 	(ii)	Change Orders Requiring Additional Compensation. Provider shall be entitled to additional compensation for the following reasons to the extent that such reasons
actually increase the cost of performing the Work: (1) Company requested changes and/or modifications to the Work or the Milestone Schedule; (2) Company caused delays not otherwise permissible or compensated for hereunder;
(3) discovery of any non-geological subsurface or other Site conditions different from those described in Exhibit A, (4) discovery of any pre-existing, undisclosed Hazardous Substance condition at, in, under, or upon the Site, and
(5) to the extent provided under subsection (iv) below. 

  

	 	(iii)	 Change Orders Requiring Additional Time / Excusable Delays. Provider shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of time to the Milestone
Schedule and a Change Order therefor for the following reasons (each, an “Excusable Delay”) to the extent that such reasons actually increase the time required to complete the Work (it being understood that Provider shall not be obligated
to undertake extra-ordinary efforts to maintain the Milestone Schedule due to such 

  
 8 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
reasons): (1) events of Force Majeure; (2) material changed conditions that justify a delay or extension of time pursuant to Section 1(i)(iv) below; and (3) Company caused
delays. The Milestone Schedule will not be extended due to normal seasonal weather variations. Prior to the extension of any dates contained in the Milestone Schedule due to Excusable Delay, Provider will use reasonable efforts to make up such
delays, including authorizing overtime payments (provided that Company has issued a Change Order authorizing and agreeing to pay for any such overtime payments). 

 

	 	(iv)	Material Changed Conditions. Provider will provide written notice to Company of any material changed condition as soon as reasonably possible, but in any event
within ten (10) calendar days of Provider’s first discovery of such material changed condition. In the event that Provider’s notice concerns unanticipated subsurface conditions, including non-geological soil conditions or Hazardous
Substances, Provider will not disturb the condition until said notice has been given to Company, and Company has had a reasonable opportunity to investigate the condition. If there is a disagreement between Company and Provider as to whether a
Change Order should be issued because of the material changed condition or delay caused by its existence or Company’s investigation thereof, those disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the provisions of Section 21 of this
Agreement. Pending the resolution of any dispute between Provider and Company concerning a material changed condition or any requested increase in compensation or extension of time, Provider will continue the Work and Company shall continue to make
payments to Provider in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that Provider shall not be required to remediate, dispose of, or otherwise be responsible for any pre-existing Hazardous Substance condition at, in, under, or
upon the Site. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Provider shall not be required to implement a Change Order if Provider reasonably demonstrates that implementation of such Change Order will (A) adversely impact the design, performance, safety,
operability, or operation and maintenance costs of the Project or (B) increase the liabilities or warranty obligations of Provider hereunder. 

  

	 	(v)	 Minor Changes to Scope of Work. Provider shall have authority to make minor changes that do not result in additional compensation or change the
Milestone Schedule and are consistent with the intent of the final Contract 

  
 9 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
Documents and the Requirements, without prior notice to Company. Provider will either promptly inform Company, in writing, of any minor changes made during the implementation of the Project, or
make available to Company at the site a set of as-built drawings that will be kept current to show those minor changes. 

  

	 	(j)	Applicable Warranty Periods. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 1 terminate as follows: 

 

	 	(i)	The representations and warranties set forth in Section 1(b)(i) terminate and expire [*] after successful completion of the Startup Test (as defined in Exhibit F).

  

	 	(ii)	The representations and warranties set forth in Section 1(b)(iii) (other than in Section 1(b)(iii)(F)) terminate and expire (A) with respect to the
Solar Field Equipment (as defined in Exhibit J) [*] after successful completion of the Startup Test and (B) with respect to the Balance of Plant (as defined in Exhibit J), [*] after successful completion of the Startup Test.

  

	 	(iii)	The representations and warranties set forth in Section 1(b)(iii)(F) terminate and expire [*] after successful completion of the Startup Test.

  

	 	(iv)	For the avoidance of doubt, any representations and warranties set forth in Section 1(b) concerning the performance of the Project as it relates to the quantity
and properties of steam produced or producible at the Project terminate and expire (1) upon termination hereof under Section 23(g) or (2) upon successful completion of the Annual Production Test (as defined in Exhibit F) or,
subject to Section 15, payment of the liquidated damages with respect to the Annual Production Test as set forth in Exhibit F. 

  

	 	(k)	NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, PROVIDER MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND PROVIDER DISCLAIMS AND COMPANY
WAIVES ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR WARRANTIES IMPOSED BY LAW, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

	 	(l)	Provider’s Obligations. 

  

	 	(i)	General Obligations. Provider represents and warrants that it has satisfied itself as to the conditions under which the improvements are to be constructed,
including, but not limited to, climatic conditions, available labor supply and costs, local and other governmental requirements (to the extent Provider’s responsibilities pursuant to Exhibit A), available equipment supply and costs, as well as
all other items which, in Provider’s judgment, could in any manner affect the timely performance or cost of the Work. Provider shall furnish and provide all supervision, labor, transportation, equipment, materials, resources, and other services
necessary to complete the Work for the Project. Provider shall hold, and shall ensure that all Subcontractors doing any portion of the Work hold, all applicable licenses required to perform the Work covered by the Agreement, and shall keep all such
licenses current and valid during the performance of the Work. Provider shall provide proof of valid licenses if requested by Company. 

  

	 	(ii)	Project Control and Supervision. Provider shall manage and direct the Work in all particulars, including its own activities and those of its Subcontractors, and
coordinate all portions of the Work with the activities and responsibilities of Company to complete the Project in accordance with the Contract Documents. Provider shall be solely responsible for its means, methods, techniques, sequences, and
procedures employed for the construction. Provider shall supervise, coordinate, and direct Provider’s own forces and those of its Subcontractors, regularly monitor as appropriate to achieve adequate performance, and provide inspection to assure
quality workmanship for the Work. Provider shall enforce discipline and good order at the Project Site. 

  

	 	(iii)	Physical Construction. Provider shall furnish and pay for all supervision, labor, materials, fabrications, assemblies, construction equipment and machinery,
tools, water (other than for dust control), water trucks, drinking water and sanitation facilities, transportation, and all other facilities and services that are necessary for the proper execution and completion of the Work, whether temporary or
permanent and whether or not incorporated or to be incorporated in the Work, excluding only those items specifically identified to be provided by Company.

	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

 

	 	(iv)	Capturing Operating Data. Provider shall capture all ongoing operating data from the Demo Plant from the completion of the Startup Test until satisfactory
completion of the Annual Production Test, and shall make such information and data available to Company promptly upon request. Such operating data shall not be erased or deleted. 

 

	 	(m)	Design Preparation by Provider. Provider’s Work shall include the preparation of plans and specifications in accordance with the Requirements. Provider
shall comply with each of the following requirements: 

  

	 	(i)	Provider shall employ a qualified engineer licensed to practice professional engineering in the state and/or locality where the Project is located, or if permitted by
State law, may subcontract such engineering services to a properly licensed engineer. Provider’s plans and specifications shall be prepared under the direct supervision of a licensed professional engineer and, if required by Applicable Law,
said engineer shall stamp the design upon completion of the plans and specifications. 

  

	 	(ii)	Provider shall be solely responsible for the adequacy, safety, suitability, and completeness of its design. Provider is responsible for taking all field dimensions and
noting all field conditions which may impact engineering and design. Provider’s plans and specifications are subject to the written approval of Company in accordance with the procedures set forth in Exhibit A-2; without such, work shall not
proceed. Such approval shall be limited to a determination of whether such plans and specifications conform to the Requirements. Company shall have fourteen (14) days to review and approve the plans and specifications.

  

	 	(iii)	Provider shall supply copies of the design to Company for review and approval as outlined in Exhibit A-2 Engineering Scope of Work to the Agreement. Provider shall
perform interactive reviews of the design with Company, based on previously agreed upon process in Exhibit A-2, to facilitate Company input, feedback, and approval of the Project and component design. Such approval shall be limited to a
determination of whether such design conforms to the Requirements. Company shall have fourteen (14) days to review and approve the design. Provider shall also meet with representatives of Company to discuss the design as appropriate between
such interactive reviews.

	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

 

	 	(iv)	With consultation and feedback from Company, Provider shall submit the final design, plans and specifications to the appropriate governmental agencies having
jurisdiction over the Project if and to the extent such submission is required by Applicable Law. Provider shall work with said agencies to secure the Permits for which Provider is responsible for securing pursuant to Section 20(f). Company
will use its knowledge and expertise to assist Provider in identifying the required permits. 

  

	 	(n)	Contract Time and Schedule. 

  

	 	(i)	 Progress and Completion. The time period set forth in the Milestone Schedule to achieve Mechanical Completion may be extended only for causes
and events expressly authorized under the Agreement, including Section 1(i)(iii). Provider shall not commence any portion of the construction work at the Site prior to the issuance of a written notice to proceed by Company for such portion of
the Work (“Notice to Proceed”). A Notice to Proceed shall be issued within ten (10) business days of Company’s approval of the issued-for-construction engineering package for such portion of the Work. In the event that Company
fails to issue a Notice to Proceed within such time period, such Notice to Proceed shall be deemed issued on the tenth
(10th) business day. Provider shall thereafter
prosecute the Work continuously, expeditiously, and diligently at such a rate to maintain sufficient progress in accordance with the Milestone Schedule to achieve Mechanical Completion within the Contract Time, unless an extension of time is
justified under the Agreement. Should it appear at any time that Provider is in danger of failing to meet any of the milestone dates contained in the Milestone Schedule, Provider shall cause its employees and its Subcontractors to increase personnel
or perform overtime work as is necessary to return to the original Milestone Schedule. Provider shall not be compensated or reimbursed for any additional costs resulting from such overtime work, and no adjustment shall be made to the Contract Time,
unless an extension of time would have been justified under the Agreement and Provider had supplied Company with notice of its intent to accelerate prior to providing such overtime work. 

 

	 	(ii)	 Procurement Process for Major Equipment. Purchase agreements for the Major Equipment identified on Exhibit A-6 hereto may be issued by Provider
upon execution of this Agreement. For any remaining Major Equipment, the 

  
 13 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
process for issuing the purchase agreements shall be as set forth in Section 1(c)(ii). Company shall have seven (7) days to review and approve all shop drawings for the Major Equipment.

  

	2.	Compensation. 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall pay Provider, as full compensation for the performance of the Work and its obligations
hereunder, a fixed, lump sum amount equal to $26,000,000 (Twenty-Six Million Dollars), (the “Contract Price”) plus any amount payable pursuant to any written Change Order, less a credit of (Seven Hundred Twenty-Eight Thousand Dollars)
$728,000, the aggregate amount of all payments made by the Company under that certain Letter of Authorization, dated December 11, 2007 (“LOA”) between the Company and Provider through the date hereof (it being understood that
as of such date, as set forth in Section 27, the LOA shall terminate and be superseded by this Agreement). Company shall be under no obligation to compensate Provider any additional amounts beyond the Contract Price unless there is a written
Change Order that provides for additional compensation. The Contract Price shall be payable in installments as milestone payments as set forth in Exhibit B, but such milestone payments shall not be determinative between Provider and Company as to
the compensation owed hereunder for the portion of the Work identified in such milestone or completed through the date such milestone is achieved. 

   

	 	(b)	After each milestone identified in Exhibit B is reached or an amount shall otherwise be due or shall be due under a Change Order, Provider shall submit an invoice
(“Invoice”) for the amount due it hereunder, referencing this Agreement, together with such detail as shall be reasonably required to establish Provider’s right to payment (such as field verification that the applicable milestone has
been reached, packing slips, shipping documentation, etc), all of which shall be sent to the following address: 

Chevron Technology Ventures, 
 a division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc. 
 Attention: Sergio Hoyos 

Address:   3901 Briarpark Drive 
                   Houston, Texas 77042 
 The amount due hereunder will be paid by wire transfer within thirty (30) days of receipt of Invoice, except for the first milestone payment which shall be paid within ten (10) business days of
the

 With written notice of such payment sent to: 

BrightSource Construction Management, Inc. 
 Attn: Jack Jenkins-Stark, CFO 
 1999 Harrison Street, Suite 2150 

Oakland, CA 94612 
 If Company disputes an Invoice, payment of the portion of the Invoice disputed may be withheld until resolution of the dispute. Without waiver of its right to payment of the disputed amount, Provider may
submit a new Invoice for the undisputed amount. If Provider either amends the Invoice so as to resolve the dispute or provides the required documentation, or submits an Invoice for the undisputed amount, the thirty (30) day time period for
payment of any such disputed portion of the Invoice shall commence from the date of Company’s receipt of the amended Invoice or of the additional required documentation. Any overpayments to Provider shall, unless otherwise corrected or
adjusted, be repaid to Company. 
  

	 	(c)	Company may decline to pay Provider, in whole or in part, to such extent as may be necessary in Company’ good faith opinion to protect Company from loss because
of: 

  

	 	(i)	third party claims or perfected liens filed; or 

  

	 	(ii)	failure of Provider to make payments properly to its Subcontractors. 

  

	 	(d)	Waivers and Releases. As a prerequisite for the final payment to Provider, Provider shall provide, in the forms attached as Exhibit I, lien waivers as therein
specified executed by Provider and by every Subcontractor, lower-tiered subcontractor and material supplier to Provider, a Subcontractor or a lower-tiered subcontractor furnishing labor or material for the Work who has filed a Preliminary Notice
(also known as a pre-lien notice). Provider shall verify with Company that Company has received copies of all pre-lien notices 

  

	*	Confidential Treatment Requested

that Provider receives. Company shall file a Notice of Completion following satisfactory completion of the Acceptance Test. 

 

	 	(e)	Provider agrees to provide, at the request of Company, evidence of payment of amounts due to its Subcontractors and vendors. 

 

	 	(f)	No payment to Provider will be authorized until Company receives a complete and accurate submittal package from Provider in accordance with this Section 2. No
payment to Provider, other than the first milestone payment upon the execution hereof, will be authorized until Company has received a current Certificate of Insurance. Provider shall not be allowed to commence construction at the Site until Company
has received the current Certificate of Insurance. 

  

	 	(g)	Company’s inspection, its final payment, its acceptance of the Work, and Company’s possession of the Project shall not operate as a waiver of any Warranty
provisions herein. Provider’s acceptance of final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims of Provider except those previously made in writing and expressly identified as unsettled at the time of submission of Provider’s final
Invoice. 

  

	 	(h)	Any amount owed to Company or Provider hereunder and not paid when due shall accrue daily interest at the rate of two percent (2%) over the Prime Rate from the
date due hereunder until paid; provided, however, that the first milestone payment due Provider shall not accrue interest until thirty (30) days past the date due hereunder. Any amount owing hereunder that remains unpaid for sixty
(60) days past the due date shall accrue daily interest at the rate of four percent (4%) over the Prime Rate from the sixty-first day until paid. 

 

	3.	Records. 

  

	 	(a)	 Records. Provider shall maintain complete and accurate records in connection with the Work and all transactions related thereto and shall retain
all such records for at least twenty-four months after the end of the calendar year in which the Project is completed. The Company may from time to time and at any time until twenty-four months after the end of the calendar year in which the Project
is completed make an audit of all records of Provider in connection with all costs, if any, related to the Work which are reimbursable under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if any records are or may be required to resolve any claim or
dispute actually known by Provider to have arisen in relation to this Agreement, the period of retention shall continue until final disposition of such claim 

  
 16 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
or dispute. Any amount by which the total payment by the Company to Provider exceeds the amount due Provider shall be returned to the Company within thirty (30) calendar days after the date
of any final determination thereof. Items of compensation not determined on a reimbursement of cost basis, such as fixed percentages, fixed fees or milestone payments, or fixed lump sums shall not be subject to record keeping requirements under this
subsection (a). 

  

	 	(b)	Gifts. No director, employee or agent of Provider or of any Subcontractor or vendor of Provider shall give or receive any commission, fee, rebate, or gift or
entertainment of significant cost or value in connection with the Work, or enter into any business arrangement with any director, employee or agent of the Company or any Affiliate, other than as a representative of the Company or its Affiliate,
without the Company’s prior written agreement. Neither Provider nor its directors, employees, agents, subsidiaries and Affiliated entities or their directors, employees or agents shall make any payment or give anything of value to any official
of any government or public international organization (including any officer or employee of any government department, agency or instrumentality) to influence his or its decision or to gain any other advantage for the Company or Provider in
connection with the services performed hereunder. Provider shall promptly notify the Company of any violation of this subsection (b) and any consideration received as a result of such violation shall be paid over or credited to the Company. Any
representatives authorized by the Company may audit any and all applicable records of Provider for the sole purpose of determining whether there has been compliance with this subsection (b). 

 

	 	(c)	Subcontractor and Vendor Agreements. Provider shall require all Subcontractors and vendors, in all agreements in connection with the Work, to agree to the
inclusion therein of the provisions of Section 3(b) (other than the last two sentences thereof). 

  

	 	(d)	Open Book and Make Right Reporting. Following successful completion of the Startup Test, Provider shall provide to Company a final and accurate account of the
total Project costs (including a breakdown of indirect cost categories identified on Exhibit B-1), broken down by subcontractor and equipment (with a lump sum for the Heliostats). Such cost data shall be updated as applicable following completion of
the Acceptance Test. Provider shall submit Make Right and Warranty Remedy Expense Reports in accordance with the requirements of Exhibit H.

	4.	Intellectual Property; Indemnification.  

  

	 	(a)	No Infringement. Software, technology, and other materials, products and information used by Provider in connection with the Work (the “Provider
Proprietary Properties”) do not and will not infringe upon or violate the intellectual property rights of any third party. 

  

	 	(b)	 General Indemnity by Provider. Provider shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and any Affiliate of Company, and the members,
partners, managers, directors, officers, agents, consultants, contractors, representatives and employees of any of them (the “Company Indemnitees”), from and against any and all loss, damage, injury, liability, and claims thereof
for injury to or death of any person (including an employee of Provider or an Company Indemnitee) or for loss of or damage to property (including but not limited to tangible personal property), resulting from or in connection with Provider’s
performance of the Work under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, (i) Provider’s negligent or willful acts, (ii) Provider’s use of motor vehicles or other equipment provided by the Company or others, (iii) any
release of a Hazardous Substance by Provider or any enforcement or compliance proceeding commenced by or in the name of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Provider because of an alleged, threatened or actual violation of any
Applicable Law by Provider; and (iv) any action reasonably necessary to abate, remediate or prevent a violation or threatened violation of any Applicable Law by Provider. Such indemnity shall apply whether or not an Company Indemnitee was or is
claimed to be passively, concurrently, or actively negligent, and regardless of whether liability without fault is imposed or sought to be imposed on one or more of the Company Indemnitees. The indemnity shall not apply to the extent that such
indemnification is void or otherwise unenforceable under Applicable Law and shall not apply to the extent such loss, damage, injury, liability or claim is the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of any Company Indemnitee. Neither Provider
nor the Company shall settle or compromise any litigation for which indemnification is provided without the consent of the other Party if such settlement or compromise obligates the other to make any payment or part with any property or assume any
obligation or grant any license or other rights or be subject to any injunction by reason of such settlement or compromise. The Company’s right to indemnification by Provider under the foregoing shall be independent of the Company’s rights
under the insurance provided under Section 5. The Company is authorized to withhold from any amount payable to Provider all amounts for which the Company may become liable to third parties due to Provider’s

  
 18 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
negligent or willful acts in performing or failing to perform its obligations under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, which is disputed by Provider, or any
indebtedness exists which may be the basis for a lien claim (other than mechanics or vendor lien claims in the ordinary course of performance of the Work), the Company may withhold from any payment due to Provider an amount sufficient to cover such
claim. If the Company withholds any amount due as permitted by the preceding two sentences, upon resolution of the potential liability or dispute, the Company shall promptly pay to Provider any amount withheld in excess of the liability of Provider
with respect thereto with interest from the date such excess was withheld. The Company’s failure to exercise this right to withhold shall not affect Provider’s obligation to protect the Company as provided herein. 

 

	 	(c)	Infringement Indemnity. Provider shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company Indemnitees from and against any and all loss, damage, injury, liability
and claims thereof for any actual or alleged patent, copyright or trademark infringement, or trade secret misappropriation, or proprietary rights violations by Provider, its employees, representatives or agents, or resulting directly or indirectly
from Provider’s performance of the Work, including without limitation provision of material or designs by Provider or use of tools and other equipment by or for Provider in any connection therewith, and shall reimburse the Company fully for any
royalties, damages, expenses, losses or other payments that the Company shall be obliged to pay in connection therewith. The Company shall have the right to be present and represented by counsel, at its own expense, at all times during
litigation and/or other discussions relating to any such claims of patent, copyright or trademark infringement, trade secret misappropriation or proprietary rights violations. Neither Provider nor the Company shall settle or compromise any such
litigation without the consent of the other if such settlement or compromise obligates the other to make any payment or part with any property or assume any obligation or grant any license or other rights or be subject to any injunction by reason of
such settlement or compromise. The Company’s right to indemnification by Provider under the foregoing shall be independent of the Company’s rights under the insurance provided under Section 5. If any Provider Proprietary Properties
infringe upon or violate the intellectual property rights of any third party, Provider shall have the right after notice to the Company to substitute non-infringing items so long as the substituted items provide the same functionality and efficacy
as the infringing items in all material respects and such substitution does not result in any modification of any warranty, indemnity, or other obligations of Provider hereunder.

	 	(d)	Additional Indemnification. Provider shall at all times during the performance of the Work (i) comply in all material respects with all Applicable Laws,
statutes and ordinances and all applicable rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Provider with respect to the Work; and (ii) subject to Section 20(f), obtain all licenses, permits,
certificates, approvals, bonds and notices required in connection with its performance under this Agreement. Provider shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Company Indemnitees against all damages, claims (including Tax claims), fines, or
penalties of whatever nature (including any fees and expenses incurred in defense thereof) as a result of Provider’s failure to comply with this subsection (d). 

 

	 	(e)	 General Indemnity by Company. Company shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Provider and any Affiliate of Provider, and the members,
partners, managers, directors, officers, agents, consultants, contractors, representatives and employees of any of them (the “Provider Indemnitees”), from and against any and all loss, damage, injury, liability, and claims thereof
for injury to or death of any person (including an employee of Company or a Provider Indemnitee) or for loss of or damage to property (including but not limited to tangible personal property), resulting from or in connection with Company’s
obligations under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, (i) Company’s negligent or willful acts, (ii) Company’s use of motor vehicles or other equipment provided by Company or others, (iii) any release of a
Hazardous Substance by Company, prior to or after the date hereof, or any enforcement or compliance proceeding commenced by or in the name of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Company because of an alleged, threatened or actual
violation of any Applicable Law by Company, (iv) any action reasonably necessary to abate, remediate or prevent a violation or threatened violation of any Applicable Law by Company, and (v) any pre-existing Hazardous Substance condition
at, in, under, or upon the Site, whether or not caused by Company. Such indemnity shall apply whether or not a Provider Indemnitee was or is claimed to be passively, concurrently, or actively negligent, and regardless of whether liability without
fault is imposed or sought to be imposed on one or more of the Provider Indemnitees. The indemnity shall not apply to the extent that such indemnification is void or otherwise unenforceable under Applicable Law and shall not apply to the extent such
loss, damage, injury, liability or claim is the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of any Provider Indemnitee. Neither Provider nor Company shall settle or compromise any litigation for which indemnification is provided without the
consent of the other Party if such settlement or compromise obligates the

other to make any payment or part with any property or assume any obligation or grant any license or other rights or be subject to any injunction by reason of such settlement or compromise.

  

	 	(f)	Procedures. All claims for indemnification under this Agreement shall be asserted and resolved as follows: 

 

	 	(i)	A Party claiming indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) shall with reasonable promptness (A) notify the Party from whom
indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any third-Party claim or claims (“Third Party Claim”) for which indemnification is sought and (B) transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice
(“Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Third Party Claim, a copy of all papers served with respect to such claim (if any), an estimate of the amount of damages attributable to the Third Party Claim to the
extent feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim) and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the
Indemnified Party in providing the Claim Notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from its obligations hereunder unless (and then only to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is damaged by such delay. 

Within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Claim Notice (the “Election Period”), the Indemnifying Party shall
notify the Indemnified Party (X) whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its potential liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim and (Y) whether the Indemnifying Party desires, at the sole cost and expense
of the Indemnifying Party, to defend against such Third Party Claim, whether or not it disputes its potential liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim. 

 

	 	(ii)	 If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Election Period that the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the
Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend, at its sole cost and expense, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, such Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings
shall be prosecuted diligently by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this subsection (ii), unless and until the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it chooses to cease such defense. The Indemnifying Party

  
 21 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof, subject to the restrictions contained herein. The Indemnified Party is hereby authorized,
at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (but only if the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder), to file, during the Election Period, any motion, answer or other pleadings that the Indemnified Party shall
reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party and not materially prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees, at the sole cost and
expense of the Indemnifying Party, to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Indemnified Party may participate
in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this subsection (ii) and shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation, provided that if the
parties to any suit or proceeding shall include the Indemnifying Party as well as the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that one or more legal defenses may be available to it that may not be available to
the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to bear the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel of the Indemnified Party, which shall be selected by the Indemnified Party in its complete and sole discretion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party may, at any time and in its sole discretion, release the Indemnifying Party from its obligations hereunder with respect to a Third Party Claim and thereafter assume control of the defense or
settlement thereof at its sole cost and expense. 

  

	 	(iii)	 If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Election Period that the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified
Party pursuant to subsection (ii) above, or if the Indemnifying Party provides notice pursuant to subsection (ii) above that it will cease the defense of the Indemnified Party or elects to defend the Indemnified Party but fails diligently
and promptly to prosecute or settle the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (but only if the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification
hereunder), the Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be 

  
 22 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
promptly and vigorously prosecuted by the Indemnified Party to a final conclusion or settled. The Indemnified Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings with respect to the
liability of the Indemnified Party but not the Indemnifying Party. 

  

	 	(iv)	Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party has delivered a written notice to the Indemnified Party to the effect that the Indemnifying Party disputes its
potential liability to the Indemnified Party hereunder and if such dispute is resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s defense pursuant
to subsection (ii) or (iii) above or of the Indemnified Party’s participation therein at the Indemnifying Party’s request, and the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all costs and expenses of
such litigation. 

  

	 	(v)	The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to subsection (iii) above, and
the Indemnifying Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation. 

  

	 	(vi)	In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall
transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (the “Indemnity Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, a reasonable estimate of the amount of damages attributable to such claim to the extent feasible
(which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim) and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty
(30) days from its receipt of the Indemnity Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the claim specified by the Indemnified Party in the Indemnity Notice shall be deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. If the
Indemnifying Party has timely disputed such claim, as provided above, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 21. 

  

	5.	Insurance.  

  

	 	(a)	 It is understood and agreed by the Parties that neither the minimum policy limits of insurance required in connection with the Work

  
 23 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
under this Section 5 nor the actual amounts of insurance maintained under any insurance program in any way limit or reduce Provider’s liability and indemnity obligations under this
Agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	Provider shall maintain or cause to be maintained the following insurance and all such other insurance as required by the applicable law: 

 

	 	(i)	Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s Liability Insurance as prescribed by applicable laws of the country in which the Work will be performed and the states
and/or countries of residence of expatriate employees, including coverage under the Longshoremen’s and Harbor Worker’s Act, the Jones Act, Death on the High Seas Act and the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, if applicable.

  

	 	(ii)	Comprehensive or Commercial General Liability (Bodily Injury and Property Damage) Insurance, including the following supplemental or monoline coverages: Contractual
Liability to cover the liabilities assumed in this Agreement, Products and Completed Operations, coverage for explosion and collapse (limit of [*]), Sudden and Accidental Pollution (limit of [*]) and a cross-liability endorsement or severability of
interest clause. The policy territory coverage shall include the area in which the Work is to be performed. The policy limits must be not be less than [*] U.S. Dollars (US [*]) combined single limit per occurrence. 

 

	 	(iii)	Automobile Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability Insurance extending to all vehicles provided by Contractor in the performance of the Work. The policy limits for
such insurance must be higher of the amount required by applicable law and [*] U.S. Dollars (US[*]) or its currency equivalent combined single limit per occurrence. 

 

	 	(c)	Policy Endorsements. 

  

	 	(i)	Provider shall, or shall cause the insurers to, provide Company with thirty (30) days’ written notice (ten (10) days for nonpayment of premium therefor)
prior to the cancellation or making of a material change of the insurance required by subsection (b) above. 

  

	 	(ii)	The insurance specified in subsection (b)(i) above shall contain waivers of subrogation rights in favor of the Company Indemnitees. 

 

	*	Confidential Treatment Requested 

  
 24 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

 

	 	(iii)	The insurance specified in subsections (b)(ii) and (b)(iii) above shall: 

  

	 	(A)	name the Company as an additional insured to the extent of the liabilities assumed by Provider under this Agreement. The coverage provided to the Company as additional
insured must expressly include liability imposed or sought to be imposed upon the Company to the extent that Provider has assumed such liabilities under the Agreement; 

 

	 	(B)	provide that the insurance is primary coverage with respect to all insureds, including additional insureds, and shall not be considered contributory insurance with any
insurance policies of any insureds, including additional insureds ; and 

  

	 	(C)	provide a cross-liability or severability of interest clause that has the effect of ensuring that each insured (including additional insureds) is covered as a separate
insured. 

  

	 	(d)	Builders Risk Insurance. Provider shall also maintain in full force and effect Builders Risk Insurance which shall include coverage for damage to the Work
during the construction, testing and commissioning phases and continue until the successful completion of the Startup Test. The policy shall cover all risks (excluding earthquake and flood at the discretion of Provider) of physical
loss or damage in an amount not less than the full replacement cost value of the equipment at final completion with terms and conditions as broad as available in the insurance marketplace. The policy shall contain a waiver of
subrogation in favor of the Company and all Company contractors and subcontractors. The policy shall be primary coverage for damage to the Work and shall not be considered contributory with any insurance policies maintained by the
Company or any of the Company’s contractors or subcontractors. The Builders Risk Insurance policy proceeds shall be used first, to the extent necessary, for Provider to fulfill its obligations hereunder for
the repair and replacement of lost or damaged portions of the Work. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 5(d) diminishes Provider’s obligation to complete the Project in accordance with and subject to the
terms of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(e)	 Evidence of Insurance. Before commencing the Work, Provider shall provide Company with certificates or other documentary evidence satisfactory
to Company of the insurance and 

  
 25 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
endorsements set forth in subsections (b), (c) and (d) above. Acceptance of any such certificate by Company shall not constitute a waiver, release or modification of any of the
insurance coverages and endorsements required under this Section 5. Upon request of Company, Provider shall provide copies of insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement. 

 

	 	(f)	Deductibles or Self-Insured Retentions. Provider is solely responsible for payment of all deductibles or self-insured retentions that are applicable to any
claims made against the Company covered by insurance policies required to be maintained or caused to be maintained by Provider under this Section 5. The level of these deductibles or retentions must be reasonable and compatible with that
expected of a prudent contractor in similar circumstances. 

  

	 	(g)	Waiver of Subrogation for Physical Damage Insurance. Provider shall obtain a written waiver of subrogation in favor of the Company from insurers who provide
physical damage insurance with respect to any property used in the performance of the Work to the extent Provider has assumed liability for its property under this Agreement. 

 

	 	(h)	Insurance Required from Subcontractors. Without in any way limiting Provider’s liability pursuant to Section 5, Provider shall cause its
Subcontractors, subject to appropriate adjustments given the nature, location, and extent of the activities of said Subcontractors, to obtain the insurance coverage and endorsements set forth in subsections (b)(i) and (iii) and (c)(i) and
(ii) above, but with the Company named as an additional insured thereon. 

  

	 	(i)	 Repair or Replacement by Company. Upon successful completion of the Startup Test, risk of loss shall transfer to Company as set forth in
Section 6. Thereafter, Company shall be responsible for physical damage or loss to the Work (subject to any rights of Company to indemnification pursuant to Section 4 hereof). From and after such time until completion of the Annual
Production Test or termination hereof under Section 23(g), if any such physical damage or loss occurs, Company shall repair or replace such damage or loss to the condition prior to such damage or loss at its expense in order for Provider to be
able to fulfill its obligations under Exhibit F to pass the Acceptance Test and Annual Production Test; provided, however, that Company at its election may waive the requirement for Provider to pass the Acceptance Test and Annual Production Test, as
the case may be, and upon payment to Provider of the full amount of any unpaid Contract Price, plus any amount payable pursuant to any written Change 

  
 26 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
Orders, the obligation to repair and replace hereunder shall terminate. If any repair or replacement is necessary due to such physical damage or loss, Provider shall assist in such activities as
requested by Company, including selling Heliostats and components thereof to the Company at the prices set forth in Exhibit B-1. Such activities shall be documented as a Change Order hereunder and shall be the basis for an adjustment as necessary
for the completion date of the Acceptance Test or Annual Performance Test, as the case may be. 

  

	6.	No Liens; Transfer of Title. Provider shall promptly pay its Subcontractors and suppliers the amounts to which they are entitled. Provider shall not
include in its contracts with Subcontractors and suppliers provisions that allow Provider to withhold payments to its Subcontractors and suppliers until Provider receives payment from Company. Provider shall promptly discharge or bond or otherwise
secure against all perfected liens, claims, security interests, encumbrances and attachments which are filed against the Company or its interests in connection with the Project and Provider shall indemnify and save the Company and the Company
Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all loss, damage, injury, liability and claims thereof resulting from such liens, encumbrances and attachments and any mechanics liens or stop notices. Care, custody, control, risk of loss, and legal
title to the Project shall transfer to Company upon successful completion of the Startup Test. 

  

	7.	Confidentiality. 

  

	 	(a)	 Confidential Information. During the performance of the Work hereunder, it will be necessary for each Party to make its or its Affiliates’
confidential technical, business or other information (“Confidential Information”) available to the other Party. Each Party agrees to use all such Confidential Information provided by the other Party solely for the performance of
this Agreement, including the design, construction, operation and maintenance of the Project, and to hold all such Confidential Information in confidence and not to copy or disclose any such Information to any third party without the prior written
consent of the other Party. The Company hereby consents to limited disclosure of its Confidential Information to Subcontractors, vendors, consultants, accountants and attorneys, and other agents, advisors and representatives of Provider to the
extent necessary for such parties to perform their work in connection with the Work so long as such parties agree to the provisions of this subsection concerning Confidential Information as required by Section 8(b). Provider hereby consents to
limited disclosure of its Confidential Information to subcontractors, consultants, accountants and attorneys, and other agents, advisors and representatives of the Company to the extent necessary for

  
 27 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
such parties to perform their work in connection with the Project so long as such parties are bound to the Company by confidentiality obligations as required by Section 8(c). Provider and
Company each are responsible for the breach of this Section 7 by any of its own subcontractors, vendors, consultants, accountants and attorneys, and other agents, advisors and representatives. All Confidential Information shall be promptly
returned to the disclosing Party or, at such Party’s option, destroyed, upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement, except that the Company may retain copies of the Confidential Information of Provider to the extent necessary in
connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of the Project and Provider may retain copies of the Confidential Information of the Company to the extent necessary to fulfill its obligations hereunder and to document
the performance of the Work. 

  

	 	(b)	Public Statements. Each Party and BSE, shall not (i) use the names or marks of the other Party and its Affiliates in any advertisements, marketing
materials, product endorsements, press releases or any other publications, documentations or announcements, including announcements about this Agreement or the activities contemplated hereunder, or (ii) photograph or video tape at the
Company’s premises or at the Project, in each case without such other Party’s prior written approval (except that this limitation shall not apply to the Company with respect the Company’s premises excluding the Project and except that
this limitation shall not apply to either Party with respect to the Project so long as such photographs or video tapes are themselves considered Confidential Information and subject to the terms of subsection (a)). Provider and BSE shall not publish
or publicly release any information, announcement or press release about the Project without Company’s prior written consent. Company may publish or release any information, announcement or press release about the Project without using the
names or marks of Provider or BSE in its sole discretion. 

  

	 	(c)	 Except as expressly permitted herein, neither Party shall disclose to any third party any Confidential Information about the Project, including the
Work and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the other Party. The term “Confidential Information” with respect to a Party shall not include, and obligations of confidentiality herein shall not
apply to, information that: (i) the other Party had in its possession at the time of disclosure to such Party hereunder; (ii) the other Party obtains from a third party who is not under an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing
Party with respect to such Confidential Information; (iii) is or becomes part of the public domain through no act or 

  
 28 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
omission of other Party in violation hereof; or (iv) is independently developed by the other Party. If a Party is required by law, regulation, including rule of stock exchange, or a court or
entity with competent jurisdiction to disclose Confidential Information of the other Party, such Party shall, prior to any disclosure, promptly notify the other Party in writing of such required disclosure, including the terms and circumstances
thereof. An appropriate protective order may be sought by the other Party and such Party shall cooperate with the other Party in seeking such protective order. In the absence of such an order or upon the receipt of a waiver by the other Party with
respect to compliance with the provisions hereof for purposes of the required disclosure, a Party shall disclose only that portion of Confidential Information that it is advised by its counsel is legally required, it shall give the other Party
written notice of what will be disclosed as far in advance as possible, and it shall take all reasonable and lawful actions to obtain confidential treatment for such disclosure. 

 

	8.	Intellectual Property. 

  

	 	(a)	The Parties agree that: 

  

	 	(i)	All inventions, improvements and discoveries, including all computer software, works, material and data whether or not protectable by patent, trade secret or copyright
(collectively “IP”) created prior to December 11, 2007, as well as any IP conceived outside the Work at any time after December 11, 2007 (“Background IP”) shall be owned by the Party whose employees,
consultants and Affiliates invented or created such IP; provided, that in the case of Provider, such Background IP will be owned by BSII. 

  

	 	(ii)	Except as provided in subsections (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) of this Section 8 (a), all IP that Provider embodies and/or uses in its design for the Demo
Plant including IP that either Party and its respective Affiliates, employees, and consultants develop in the course of performing the Work that is an improvement to or derivative of BSII’s Background IP (collectively “Provider
IP”) shall be the sole and exclusive property of BSII. 

  

	 	(iii)	 All IP created in connection with the Work by either Party and its respective Affiliates, employees, and consultants that is embodied in the Heat
Exchanger System for the Demo Plant (collectively, “Joint IP”) shall be assigned jointly to BSII and to the Company. Both BSII and the Company shall have all rights as joint owners under the laws of any country

  
 29 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
in which the Joint IP is exploited or patented. Each Party will promptly disclose to the other such Joint IP and will cooperate fully in acquiring any patent protection; BSII shall also cooperate
to the extent applicable. In the event either BSII or the Company want to obtain patent protection in a country and the other does not want to join in paying for patent protection in such country, BSII or the Company, as the case may be, has the
option to obtain a patent in that country, but the patent in that country will still be jointly owned. 

  

	 	(iv)	Without derogating from Provider’s and BSII’s general IP rights hereunder in respect to Background IP, Provider IP, patents and Joint IP, and subject to the
Company’s payment to Provider of all payments due to Provider hereunder, all data, designs, documentation, plans, and specifications created by either Party specifically for the Demo Plant (collectively, “Documentation”) shall
be the sole and exclusive property of the Company; provided however that the Company agrees not to use any such Provider created Documentation except for use in the construction, operation, maintenance, repair and replacement (which shall include
repair and replacement of equipment, materials, components and parts) of the Demo Plant, or an expansion of the Demo Plant by less than 15% capacity, without Provider’s prior permission, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, it being
understood that Provider shall have no obligation to authorize such use for the construction of a greater than fifteen percent (15%) capacity expanded Solar-to-Steam Facility unless Provider is unable or unwilling to assist Company in such an
expansion on reasonable and mutually agreeable terms; and further provided that Provider and its Affiliates may use such Provider created Documentation in connection with their business, but without disclosure of any Confidential Information of the
Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision 8(a)(iv), Company shall not interconnect with, modify or add to the existing Project control system or software without Provider’s prior written consent unless Company is entitled to access the
escrowed source code pursuant to Section 11. 

  

	 	(v)	 In the event the Demo Plant does not operate to the specifications set forth in Exhibit A-1 upon completion, and Provider is either unable or unwilling
to modify the Demo Plant to meet said specifications, then any IP that the Company (or its subcontractors or consultants) develops to 

  
 30 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
modify the Demo Plant to meet said specifications shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. 

 

	 	(vi)	All Provider IP, Background IP, Joint IP and Documentation shall constitute “Confidential Information” pursuant to this Agreement. 

 

	 	(b)	Provider Employees and Subcontractors. Provider represents and warrants that each of its employees or Subcontractors who are involved in performance of the Work
and/or who have access to Confidential Information of the Company shall be obligated to Provider in a manner consistent with Provider’s obligations under Section 7 and under this Section 8. 

 

	 	(c)	Company Employees and Subcontractors. Company represents and warrants that each of its employees or subcontractors who are involved in Provider’s
performance of the Work and/or who have access to Confidential Information of Provider shall be obligated to the Company in a manner consistent with Company’s obligations under Section 7 and under this Section 8.

  

	 	(d)	Review of Deliverables. The Company shall have the right to review, as set forth in Exhibit H, the progress of any Deliverables. 

 

	9.	Assignments. Provider acknowledges that Company is relying upon the unique expertise and capability of Provider. Except as set forth specifically below in
this Section 9, none of this Agreement, the Work or money due Provider hereunder shall be assigned or transferred in whole or in part by Provider, voluntarily or by operation of law, except with the prior written consent of the Company, and any
attempt to do so without such written consent shall be void. Provider must demonstrate that any proposed assignee has both the financial capacity and the technical ability to perform the obligations required under this Agreement at a level deemed
appropriate by Company. This provision shall not limit Provider’s right to subcontract all or any portion of the Work so long as Provider remains fully responsible for the Work hereunder. The Company and Provider shall have the right to assign
this Agreement and any Work hereunder to any Affiliate or third party who acquires all or substantially all of the assets or equity of such Party, whether by sale, merger, consolidation or otherwise in such Party’s sole discretion. For the
avoidance of doubt, any such permitted assignee shall be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement, including Sections 14(b) and 17(b), and such assignee and any of its Affiliates shall be further bound by Sections 14(b) and 17(b) as if they were
a third party thereunder. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their permitted assigns and successors. Any consent requested pursuant to this Section shall not be unreasonably withheld.

	10.	Taxes.  

  

	 	(a)	Income and Other Similar Taxes. Provider shall pay all taxes imposed upon or measured by net income on any revenue derived from this Agreement. Additionally,
Provider shall pay employment taxes, business licenses, permits and any other taxes based on similar requirements. 

  

	 	(b)	Sales and Other Similar Taxes. For purpose of this Agreement, sales and other similar taxes includes, but is not limited to, sales, use, gross receipts,
occupational privilege, excises and value added taxes (collectively, “Tax” or “Taxes”). Company shall pay all Taxes imposed on tangible personal property transferred to the Company hereunder (whether payable by
Provider or any Subcontractor or vendor to Provider) in compliance with the applicable tax statutes. The Parties to this Agreement agree to cooperate to minimize the application of Taxes that Company will pay directly or indirectly to any tax
authority or reimburse to Provider as part of specified incurred expenses. Cooperation includes, but is not limited to bundling and unbundling of services and goods as part of any invoice or statement by Provider to produce the lowest net Tax cost
to Company in accordance with Applicable Law. Provider hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and its Subcontractors, to modify its invoicing and reimbursement procedures, processes and presentation to accomplish this result, including separating out
software development from software maintenance and to separate any tangible personal property from any service on any invoice. Provider shall also separately invoice for the reproduction costs and delivery of any hardcopy manuals to the Company for
use by its employees. Company shall, except as provided in subsections (c), (d) and (e) below, pay or reimburse Provider for any present or future Taxes, excluding such Taxes on any property to which Provider retains title, relating to the
Work, and any third party software, equipment or services specifically acquired by Provider with the express written consent of the Company to meet its obligations under this Agreement to which the Company retains title. The Company shall not, under
any circumstances, be responsible to pay or reimburse Provider for any assessment of interest and penalties for any Taxes covered by this subsection (b) unless due to the Company’s failure to timely pay any such Taxes when due.

  

	 	(c)	Requests for Payment. The Parties agree to reasonably and cooperatively address the treatment and consequences of mandatory withholding of taxes from any Company
payment, or payment by any Affiliate, to Provider at such time withholding of taxes is required, commences or is recognized. 

  
 32 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

 

	 	(d)	Cooperation to Minimize Taxes. Provider and the Company mutually agree to cooperatively work to minimize any and all Taxes described in subsection (b) for
which Provider will request payment or reimbursement as well as those Tax obligations the Company may incur in connection with this Agreement. This cooperation includes, but is not limited to, location of staff, method of delivery and installation
of Provider and third party canned or custom software and user manuals, location of computer hardware and characterization of work product and intellectual property, invoicing structure and appearance or any other reasonable and lawful act.

  

	 	(e)	Tax Protest Rights. Provider hereby expressly permits the Company to protest and appeal through administrative or legal processes any assessment of Tax for which
Provider may seek reimbursement from the Company. Provider agrees that, if legally required or strategically advantageous to do so at the discretion of the Company, Provider will, at the Company’s expense, using either the Company’s own
employees or the Company’s selected external advisors or counsel, protest either through administrative or legal process any such assessment. Provider further agrees to notify the Company as soon as practical by the most expeditious means, but
in no event less than the period of time necessary to prepare and file a protest, of any assessment for Taxes for which Provider will seek payment or reimbursement. In the event Provider, at its sole discretion, does not want to protest or challenge
the assessment of any Tax for which it could otherwise seek payment or reimbursement from the Company, it may pay the assessment and reimburse the Company for all increased costs associated with said assessment. 

 

	 	(f)	Document Retention. Provider and the Company agree to produce and retain such records as are necessary to document the payment of any Tax covered by this
Agreement and agree to cooperate and retain such records for a period equal to the longest statute of limitations of the taxing jurisdiction for which Taxes have been collected, including any periods held open by a waiver of the statute of
limitations. 

  

	 	(g)	Survival of Tax Provision. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligations under this Section 10 shall survive the term of the
Agreement by a period not longer than the longest statute of limitations, including any waivers therefore, barring an assessment or collection action by the applicable taxing authority. 

 

	 	(h)	 Tax Withholding. In the event that Company or any of Company’s Affiliates are required by any taxing authority to withhold tax from any
payment to Provider, Company shall make such withholding 

  
 33 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
from payments and provide the Provider a receipt from the taxing authority for the withheld taxes. Company will timely provide notice to Provider of any withholding tax withheld from any payment.

  

	11.	License. BrightSource represents that BSII does and will own and have the right to license the Background IP owned by BSII and Provider IP. BSII hereby
grants to the Company and its Affiliates an irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, assignable, non-exclusive, royalty free license, with right to modify and have modified, copy, and use, the Background IP owned by BSII and Provider IP solely in
connection with and only to the extent necessary for the operation, maintenance, repair, improvement, replacement (which shall include repair and replacement of equipment, materials, components and parts), restoration and expansion (expansion only

The observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) by the Party entitled to enforce such term, but such waiver shall be effective only if it is in a
writing signed by the Party entitled to enforce such term and against which such waiver is to be asserted. Any such waiver shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other breach of the same or any other provision hereof. The right of either
Party to require strict performance shall not be affected by any prior waiver or course of dealing.

	 	(h)	Notification. Each Party shall immediately notify the other Party of any material violation of this Section 20 by such Party and in the case of a violation
of Section 20(c), shall immediately reimburse the other Party an amount equal to the amount of the payment or the value of the gift to such an official which gives rise to such violation. Each Party shall hold the other Party harmless for all

required by its corporate policies to be placed in every negotiated contract that it enters into in which United States Federal laws may apply, and Company acknowledges and agrees that by its mere presence no implication is intended and no inference

	21.	Dispute Resolution.  

  

	 	(a)	Informal Resolution. The Parties shall attempt within forty five (45) days after the date (the “Issue Date”) an issue is presented to it in
good faith to resolve any dispute, controversy or claim related to this Agreement, with the exception of a Tax dispute, but including any dispute over the breach, interpretation, or validity, but not the termination, of this Agreement.

  

	 	(b)	 Arbitration. If the Company and Provider are unsuccessful in their good faith attempt to resolve the dispute, the dispute shall be submitted to,
and settled by, binding arbitration in San Francisco, California. The Parties shall, within twenty (20) days after the formal conclusion of the mediation but not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Issue Date, select a
mutually agreed upon single arbitrator and may utilize any format and rules for the binding arbitration upon which they may mutually agree. If the 

  
 42 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
Parties are unable to so agree, the dispute shall be submitted to a single arbitrator in San Francisco, California chosen by the Parties from a list of retired judges and justices at JAMS, San
Francisco, California. Should the Parties be unable to agree on a choice of arbitrator within thirty (30) days from the date of the aforesaid submission to arbitration, the contract arbitration administrator of JAMS in San Francisco, California
shall furnish to each party a list of three names and each side shall strike one name, thereby nominating the remaining person as the arbitrator. If more than one name remains, the contract arbitration administrator of JAMS will choose an arbitrator
from the list of remaining names. In no event is the arbitrator authorized or empowered to award punitive or consequential damages or damages in excess of actual direct damages. The arbitration award shall be in writing and shall specify the factual
and legal basis for the award. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall determine the allocation of the costs and expenses of arbitration based upon the percentage which
the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each Party bears to the amount actually contested by such Party. For example, if the Company submits a claim for $1,000 and if the Provider contests only $500 of such amount, and if the arbitrator
resolves the dispute by awarding the Company $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of arbitration will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300 divided by 500) to the Provider and 40% (i.e., 200 divided by 500) to the Company.

  

	 	(c)	Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, either Party may request injunctive relief and/or equitable relief from the arbitrators or the court in
order to protect the rights or property of such Party pending the resolution of the dispute as provided hereunder. 

  

	 	(d)	 Injunctive Relief Upon Breach of Confidentiality. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of the confidentiality provisions of
Section 7 hereof by a Party, the other Party will suffer irreparable damages and its remedy at law will be inadequate. Therefore, if the disclosing Party threatens to breach or actually breaches such confidentiality provisions, the other Party
shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies available to it at law or in equity, to the following: (a) equitable relief, including specific performance and injunctive relief to enforce any confidentiality provision hereof and to
restrain such disclosing Party from using or disclosing, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information, without having to prove that actual damages or monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and without having
to post a bond and (b) recovery for damages, losses, and expenses of any 

  
 43 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
nature (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and other litigation expenses) arising out of, resulting from, or otherwise relating to such breach or threatened breach.

  

	 	(e)	Continue to Perform and Pay During Dispute. Except as specifically set forth in Section 2(c), during the pendency of any Dispute, the Provider shall
continue to perform under the terms of this Agreement and the Company shall continue to pay Provider for the Work under the terms of this Agreement without offset or withheld amounts except that the Company may withhold any specific disputed amounts
the right to receipt of which under the terms of this Agreement are the subject matter of the Dispute.

delivered personally, sent by facsimile transmission, sent by electronic transmission (email), sent by nationally recognized express courier or sent by certified mail (return receipt requested). Any such notice shall be deemed given when actually

remedial action; (ii) Provider becomes insolvent, or generally does not pay its debts as they become due, or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (iii) Insolvency,
receivership, reorganization, or bankruptcy proceedings are commenced by or against Provider, and in the case of any such proceeding instituted against Provider (but not instituted or otherwise acquiesced to by Provider) such proceeding remains in
effect and unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; (iv) Provider makes an assignment or transfer of this Agreement or any interest herein in a manner prohibited by Section 9; (v) any material representation made by Provider
herein proves to have been false or intentionally misleading in any material respect when made; or (vi) Provider has abandoned or refused to perform its obligations hereunder.

	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
(based upon a percent complete approach applied to the line items listed on Exhibit B-1 and the value thereof set forth in Exhibit B-1, reduced in each case by [*] plus any additional
compensation pursuant to any written Change Orders; provided however that in no event shall Company’s payment hereunder exceed the Contract Price plus any additional compensation pursuant to any written Change Orders. Nothing in this subsection

be cancelled, unless the Company chooses to purchase such materials and equipment, in which case such items shall be paid for as described above for work in progress. Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 23(e), in the event that Company’s
termination for convenience (1) is due to catastrophic damage to Company’s oil production facility in Coalinga, CA prior to successful completion of the Startup Test, the percent complete approach shall be applied to the line items listed
on Exhibit B-1 and the value thereof set forth in Exhibit B-1, reduced in each case by [*] plus any additional amount pursuant to any written Change Orders, or (2) occurs following successful completion of the Startup Test, Company shall pay
Provider the full amount of any unpaid Contract Price, plus any amount payable pursuant to any written Change Orders, in lieu of the amounts otherwise due under the preceding sentence. 

 

	 	(f)	 Refund of Overpayment. In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Company for cause or convenience and after the

  

	*	Confidential Treatment Requested 

  
 46 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
determination of the amount owed to Provider under subsection (c) or (e), as the case may be, Provider has been paid more than what is owed to it under such subsection, Provider shall refund
to Company the amount of such overpayment for the Work in progress. 

  

	 	(g)	Termination for Failure to Satisfy Acceptance Test. This Agreement shall terminate immediately in the event that the Project fails to satisfy the Acceptance Test
within the allowable time period (as set forth in Exhibit F). For the avoidance of doubt, a failure of the Project to satisfy the Acceptance Test shall not be considered a breach of the Agreement. 

 

	 	(h)	Payment Upon Termination for Failure to Satisfy Acceptance Test. In the event of termination for failure to satisfy the Acceptance Test, Company shall pay
Provider the outstanding balance of the Contract Price due and owing plus any additional compensation pursuant to any written Change Orders, less the final milestone payment of [*]. 

 

	 	(i)	Effect of Termination. 

  

	 	(i)	In the event this Agreement is terminated by Company for any reason pursuant to the terms hereof, or pursuant to Section 23(g) above, Provider shall, subject to
Company’s obligation to pay therefor as described in subsections (c), (e) or (h) immediately above, immediately deliver all applicable portions of the Work, including all Documentation, to the Company and do all things necessary to
ensure the efficient, proper close-out of the terminated Work. In the event that a refund is owed Company pursuant to subsection (f) immediately above, Provider shall pay Company the amount owing within thirty (30) days of the
determination of the amount to be refunded, which determination shall not be more than sixty (60) days after notice of termination. 

  

	 	(ii)	 In the event this Agreement is terminated by Company for cause: (A) Company shall have the right to have the terminated Work completed;
(B) upon such termination, Provider shall be entitled to receive payments of the Contract Price for work in progress as set forth in subsection (c) above; (C) Provider shall be liable to Company for all reasonable costs and expenses
in excess of the Contract Price incurred by Company (taking into account amounts paid to Provider hereunder) in completing the Work or having the Work completed; (D) Company may in its sole discretion engage third parties to finish the Work or

  

	*	Confidential Treatment Requested 

  
 47 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
dismantle the Project by whatever method or means as Company may reasonably deem expeditious. 

  

	 	(iii)	In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 23(g) above, Company shall have the right to have the terminated Work completed at its own expense
and may in its sole discretion engage third parties to finish the Work. 

  

	 	(j)	Termination by Provider. Upon the occurrence of any Provider Release Event (as defined below), Provider may terminate this Agreement immediately by providing
Company with written notice. A “Provider Release Event” shall be deemed to have occurred if one or more of the following events or conditions shall have occurred and Company has failed to cure such event or condition within thirty
(30) days after receiving written notice from the Provider thereof: (i) Company is in breach of this Agreement and has failed to cure such breach within such thirty (30) day period, unless a longer period is permissible pursuant to
this Agreement, or unless such breach cannot be remedied by the payment of money and cannot with diligence be remedied within such 30-day period and Company has promptly commenced and continues to prosecute with diligence appropriate remedial
action; (ii) Company becomes insolvent, or generally does not pay its debts as they become due, or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (iii) Insolvency,
receivership, reorganization, or bankruptcy proceedings are commenced by or against Company, and in the case of any such proceeding instituted against Company (but not instituted or otherwise acquiesced to by Company) such proceeding remains in
effect and unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days. 

  

	 	(k)	Payment Upon Termination by Provider. In the event of termination by Provider, the Company shall pay Provider as described in subsection (e) above for
termination by Company for convenience. Nothing in this subsection shall diminish the Provider’s right to claim damages as set forth herein for breach. 

 

	 	(l)	 Survival of Obligations. Termination or expiration of this Contract (i) shall not relieve either Party of its obligations with respect to
Confidential Information disclosed by the other Party; (ii) shall not relieve either Party of any obligations hereunder which expressly or by implication survive termination hereof; (iii) except as otherwise provided in any provision of
this Agreement expressly limiting the liability of either Party (which provisions shall survive the termination of this Contract); shall not relieve either Company or Provider of any obligations or liabilities for losses incurred by the other Party
(or an Indemnified Party) arising out of or caused by 

  
 48 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
acts or omissions of Company or Provider, as the case may be, prior to the effectiveness of such termination or arising out of such termination; (iv) if the termination is by Company for
cause, shall not relieve Provider of its obligations relating to performance and completion of the Work, warranty obligations or other obligations assumed by Provider prior to the date of termination under this Agreement; and (v) for the
avoidance of doubt, if the termination is by Company for convenience, the obligations of Provider and BSE in Exhibit F and in Sections 1(b), 13, 14, and 17(b) shall terminate; if the termination is by Company for cause or for failure to pass the
Acceptance Test as set forth in Section 23(g), the obligations of Provider under Sections 13 and 14(a) shall terminate and the obligations of Provider and BSE in Sections 14(b) and 17 shall continue for the periods set forth in those Sections
with the applicable time periods commencing upon termination. This Section 23 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. 

  

	24.	Suspension of Work. 

  

	 	(a)	Suspension. The Company may, at any time and for any reason, suspend the Work to be performed by Provider, in whole or in part, by serving written notice to
Provider (the “Suspension Notice”). Provider agrees to cease the Work to be performed as detailed in the Suspension Notice not later than 24 hours after its receipt of the Suspension Notice or at such later time as specified
therein, subject to any additional time and effort necessary to secure and protect the Site and the materials and equipment thereon and to take delivery of items of materials and equipment previously scheduled to be delivered at the Site during the
period of suspension. When the Company desires Provider to resume the Work, it shall so inform Provider by written notice. Provider shall resume the Work within 24 hours or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company may also suspend the Work in whole or in part pursuant to and in accordance with Section 17.1 of Exhibit E - Health, Safety and Environmental Guidelines and Drug, Alcohol, and Search Policy or Item K and Appendix A of Exhibit E-1.
Any Work so suspended shall be governed by and managed in accordance with such Section, the Project Safety Management Plan in Exhibit E-1, and/or the detailed Site Safety Plan to be developed after execution of this Agreement by the Parties.

  

	 	(b)	 Adjustments. In the event of suspension hereunder, the Parties shall mutually agree to the period by which the Milestone Schedule shall be
adjusted. Provider shall promptly advise the Company in writing of any costs involved and the Company shall promptly 

  
 49 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
reimburse Provider for the actual, reasonable, unavoidable and verifiable costs of suspending the Work and of demobilizing and mobilizing personnel and equipment. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if the Work is suspended pursuant to a stop work notice provided pursuant to Exhibit E or E-1, any delay and additional costs shall be for the account of Provider, unless both (i) the stop work notice was provided by the Company or an
Affiliate, employee, agent, advisor or representative of the Company and (ii) the work environment was in objective fact (which fact may be established after the stop work notice is given) not imminently hazardous to persons, property, or the
environment, in which case any such delay or cost shall be for the account of the Company. 

  

	25.	Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be considered to be in default in the performance of any obligation under this Agreement when a failure of performance
shall be due to an event of Force Majeure. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Force Majeure” shall mean any cause beyond the control of the affected Party which has an adverse effect on that Party’s ability to perform its
obligations and which by the exercise of due diligence such Party could not reasonably have been expected to avoid. Neither Party shall be relieved of its obligation to perform if such failure is due to causes arising out of its own negligence or
fault or the negligence or fault of its agents, employees, suppliers or subcontractors, or due to removable or remediable causes which it fails to remove or remedy within a reasonable amount of time. If any event of Force Majeure occurs or is
anticipated, the affected Party shall promptly notify the other Party of such event, and the cause and estimated duration of any delay due to such event. The Party whose ability to perform hereunder is affected by Force Majeure shall exercise due
diligence to shorten, avoid and mitigate the effects of any such delay by promptly taking appropriate corrective action and shall keep the other Party advised as to the affected Party’s efforts and its estimate of the continuance of the delay.
In no event shall either Party be entitled to any damages, or to any adjustment to the compensation payable hereunder, because of any delay due to Force Majeure. Events of Force Majeure may include (to the extent meeting the requirements of this
Section 25): orders of government agencies; war, riots, terrorism and civil insurrection; and fires, floods, earthquakes, severe weather events outside of the range of weather conditions reasonably to be expected at the Site at the time such
weather event occurs, and loss of public utilities beyond the control of either Party. Force Majeure shall not include (1) a Party’s financial inability to perform under this Agreement, (2) failure or nonperformance by a
Subcontractor, unless the Party claiming Force Majeure can point to an identifiable event of Force Majeure that caused such failure or nonperformance, and (3) other events that are foreseeable and would in the normal course of prudent
construction practices by experienced firms familiar with the locality of the Site be protected against in order to prevent or avoid such event.

beginning the Work involved. 
  

	31.	Severability. If any term, condition or provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or otherwise
unenforceable, the same shall not affect the other terms, conditions and provisions hereof or the whole of this Agreement, but such term, condition or provision will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to render such term, condition or
provision enforceable, and the rights and obligations of the Parties will be construed and enforced accordingly, preserving to the fullest permissible extent the Parties’ intent and agreements set forth herein. 

 

	32.	 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of

 52 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
notwithstanding that both Parties are not signatories to the same counterpart. 

  

	33.	Contractor’s Notice. Provider is licensed as a Contractor under the laws of the State of California, License No. 915607. Contractors are
required by law to be licensed and regulated by the Contractor’s State License Board which has jurisdiction to investigate complaints against contractors if a complaint regarding a patent act or omission is filed within four years of the date

Contractors’ State License Board, P.O. Box 2600, Sacramento, CA 95826. 

  

	34.	BSE Parent Guaranty. BSE hereby guarantees to the Company the prompt performance of all of the obligations of Provider and BSII under this Agreement. In
the event of a breach by Provider or BSII of their respective obligations hereunder and its or their failure to cure such breach in accordance herewith, BSE hereby agrees to assume and perform all of the obligations of Provider or BSII, as the case
may be, hereunder as a principal, subject to all of the rights and defenses of Provider or BSII, as the case may be, hereunder (save and except for any defense associated with the insolvency, receivership, reorganization or bankruptcy of
Provider or BSII, as the case may be, and any proceeding related thereto) and the performance by Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company may proceed directly against BSE to enforce its rights under such guaranty without proceeding
against or joining Provider or BSII, as the case may be. BSE has all requisite power and authority to enter into such guaranty and to perform its obligations in connection therewith. 

 

	35.	Chevron Technology Ventures Status. Chevron Technology Ventures (“CTV”) is an unincorporated division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc., a Pennsylvania
corporation. CTV is authorized and empowered pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Chevron U.S.A. Inc. and resolutions duly adopted by the Board of Directors of Chevron U.S.A. Inc., acting through any officer
of CTV, to execute for and on behalf of Chevron U.S.A. Inc. papers requiring execution in the name of Chevron U.S.A. Inc. in connection with this Agreement. By execution of this Agreement as set forth below, CTV is doing so pursuant to its authority

Section 10.1, Owner shall pay Operator the undisputed amount of the invoice. If Owner disputes a portion of any invoice, Operator may, without waiver of its right to payment of the disputed amount, submit a new invoice for the undisputed
amount. All payments to Operator shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of Operator, or such other depositary as Operator shall designate by written notice to Owner. Any amounts owing from Operator to Owner,
including Owner’s actual out-of-pocket costs for municipal water supplied to the Project, but paid for by Owner may, at Owner’s option, be credited and offset against amounts owing by Owner to Operator hereunder. 

10.3 Notice of Payment Disputes. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if prior to the expiration of the applicable period
for payment referenced in Section 10.2, Owner disputes any invoice, or a portion thereof, submitted by Operator, Owner shall, prior to the expiration of such period, provide Operator with written notice identifying the basis for such dispute.
Thereafter, the payment of such disputed amounts shall be deferred until such dispute has been resolved to the satisfaction of Owner and Operator. Any dispute which is not resolved by mutual agreement shall be resolved in accordance with
Article 18. 
 10.4 Late Payments. If there is a dispute about any amount invoiced by Operator, the amount not in
dispute shall be promptly paid as described in this Article 10, and any disputed amount which is ultimately determined to have been payable prior to the actual due date of payment shall be paid with interest, at the Delayed Payment Rate, from
the date due to the date of payment. Similarly, any other amount payable hereunder by either Party which is not paid on or before the date due shall bear interest at the Delayed Payment Rate from the date due to the date of payment, and the Party
failing to make such payment shall be liable for all collection costs incurred by the other Party, including reasonable attorney fees. 
 10.5 Adjustments. Notwithstanding the payment by Owner of any Reimbursable Expenses pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Owner shall remain entitled to conduct a subsequent audit and review of all
Reimbursable Expenses incurred by Operator and paid by Owner hereunder, together with any supporting documentation, in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 below, for a period of three (3) years from and after the close of the
calendar year in which such Reimbursable Expenses were incurred. If, pursuant to any such audit and review, it is determined that any amount previously incurred by Operator and paid by Owner did not constitute a due and payable item of Reimbursable

  
 -16-

 
Expense, Owner may recover such amount from Operator or deduct or cause to be deducted such amount from any payment which thereafter may become due to Operator hereunder. 

10.6 Accounting and Audit Rights. Operator shall keep and maintain, or cause to be kept and maintained, at all times, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, books, records, accounts and other documents sufficient to reflect accurately and completely all Reimbursable Expenses incurred pursuant to this Agreement. Such records
shall include receipts, memoranda, vouchers, inventories, time reports, and accounts pertaining to the Services as well as complete copies of all subcontracts, purchase orders, service agreements and other such agreements entered into in connection
therewith. Owner, its representatives and any firm of independent auditors appointed by Owner shall have access upon reasonable advance notice in writing, to all such records maintained by or for Operator, for the purposes of auditing and verifying
Reimbursable Expenses; provided, however, that such audit rights shall not extend to any percentage mark-ups or other fixed amounts, including the Annual Base Fee, agreed to in advance by Owner. Owner shall have the right to reproduce
any such records at its expense, and Operator shall keep and preserve all such records for a period of three (3) years from and after the close of the calendar year in which such Reimbursable Expenses or other amounts were incurred. Upon
completion of any such audit, the parties shall prepare a written summary of audit findings, including a description of the resolution of any disputed item, and thereafter neither Owner, nor its assigns hereunder, shall be entitled to continuing
audit rights pursuant to the foregoing in respect of any time period covered by such audit. 
 ARTICLE 11. RESPONSIBILITIES OF OWNER 

Owner shall furnish to Operator, at Owner’s expense, the information, services, materials and other items described below in this
Section 11. All such items shall be made available at such times and in such manner as may be required for the expeditious and orderly performance of the Services by Operator.

Owner, and not against Owner’s Representative, except in the case of fraudulent or willful misconduct by Owner’s Representative. Owner may change its Owner’s Representative at any time by written notice to Operator; provided
that Operator shall be entitled to rely on instructions or decisions received from the existing Owner’s Representative prior to receiving notice of such change.

only apply to Project Documents and amendments or modifications thereof which have been furnished to Operator. In the event Operator is uncertain of the requirements imposed by any Project Document, Operator may request a clarification or
instruction from Owner, which Owner shall promptly provide in writing to Operator and which, as between Owner and Operator, shall be binding upon Owner for purposes of this Agreement. 

11.12 Site Access, Control and Security. Owner shall provide and maintain site access, control and security systems and employ
personnel, procedures and practices in accordance with its requirements and policies and procedures. 
 ARTICLE 12. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR

 Operator shall be an independent contractor with respect to the performance of the Services hereunder, and Operator shall be
solely responsible for the Services, including all operating, maintenance and management means, methods, techniques, sequences, procedures, and safety and security programs employed in connection with the performance of the Services. Neither
Operator nor its employees, Subcontractors, vendors or suppliers, or the employees of any such parties employed in the Project operations shall be deemed to be agents, representatives, employees, or servants of Owner. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, this Agreement shall not constitute Operator as the legal representative or agent of Owner, nor shall Operator have the right or authority to assume, create or incur any liability or obligation, express or implied, against, in the
name of, or on behalf of Owner or its members or partners. This Agreement is not intended to create, and shall not be construed to create, a relationship of partnership, joint venture, or an association for profit between Owner and Operator.

 ARTICLE 13. TERM AND TERMINATION 
 13.1 Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the Commencement Date and continue for thirty (30) Days following the completion of the Annual
Production Test (as defined in the MSA); provided, however, that Owner may elect to extend the Term of this Agreement for up to two (2) additional thirty (30) Day periods upon fifteen (15) Days prior written notice to
Operator of such extension. Any such extension shall be on the same terms and conditions as this Agreement, including a prorated amount of the Annual Base Fee which shall be payable to Operator. 

13.2 Termination for Material Breach. If a Party (hereinafter the “Defaulting Party”) has committed
a material breach of its obligations or representations and warranties under this Agreement, or violates or allows a violation of any Law applicable to the Services or the Project which violation has or may have a continuing material adverse effect
on the operation or maintenance of the Project, the other Party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) may elect to terminate this Agreement as follows: 

  
 -19-

 (a) The Non-Defaulting Party shall give the Defaulting Party a written notice describing
such material default or violation in reasonable detail and demanding that the Defaulting Party cure such material default or violation. 
 (b) If within thirty (30) Days after receiving such notice, the Defaulting Party has not either (i) negotiated with the Non-Defaulting Party a termination of such notice, or (ii) cured the
default or violation, then the Non-Defaulting Party may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Defaulting Party; provided, however, that if the default or violation is such that it cannot be cured within such time period,
but is reasonably curable within a longer period and if the Defaulting Party promptly commences action calculated to cure such default or violation within the thirty (30) Day period and thereafter diligently pursues such action to completion,
the thirty (30) Day period provided in this clause shall be deemed extended for such reasonable period of time necessary to complete the cure. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, no failure of Operator to do any act or perform
any Services which results from lack of budget authority or other required approval by Owner shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement. 
 13.3 Termination in the Event the MSA is Terminated. In the event the MSA is terminated pursuant to Section 23, paragraphs (b), (d), (g) or (j) of the MSA, then this Agreement shall
also be terminated, as of the same date the MSA is terminated subject to Owner’s right to extend the Term as provided in Section 13.1 hereof, by written notice by Owner to Operator provided thirty (30) Days in advance of such
termination of the MSA, or such lesser period of advance notification as may be provided for in the MSA. 
 13.4 Termination
for Insolvency. Either Party may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other Party if the other Party (a) commences a voluntary proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization law, or (b) has
such a proceeding filed against it and fails to have such proceeding stayed or vacated within sixty (60) Days, or (c) upon the end of any such stay, fails to have such involuntary proceeding vacated within sixty (60) Days thereafter,
or (d) admits the material allegations of any petition in bankruptcy filed against it, or (e) is adjudged bankrupt, or (f) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or (g) has a receiver appointed for all or a
substantial portion of its assets and is not discharged within sixty (60) Days after such appointment, or (h) is unable to pay its debts generally as they become due except where due to a failure of payment by Owner hereunder. 

13.5 Termination Payment. In the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.2 (where Owner is the
Defaulting Party) or Section 13.3, Operator shall be entitled, in addition to all other amounts due to it hereunder as of the date of termination, to receive a termination payment equal to all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Operator
as a direct result of such termination, including (a) all severance costs incurred with respect to Operator’s employees which Operator is contractually or legally obligated to pay to its employees or which are incurred with the prior
written consent of Owner in accordance with established personnel policies of Operator, and (b) other costs reasonably incurred by Operator in withdrawing from the Project and otherwise demobilizing its operations with respect to the Project.
Such amounts shall be due and payable by Owner, less any amounts owing from Operator to Owner under this Agreement, within thirty 

  
 -20-

 
(30) Days of Operator’s submission of an invoice therefor, which invoice shall include a statement of all such costs and expenses covered thereby and such supporting documentation and
additional data as Owner may reasonably request. 
 13.6 Effect of Termination. No termination of this Agreement shall
deprive a Party of amounts or other performance due to such Party for any period prior to the date of such termination, or relieve any Party of the consequences of its breach of this Agreement. Election to terminate this Agreement pursuant to
Section 13.2 shall not constitute an election of remedies and, subject to Article 20, shall be without prejudice to any other rights or remedies at law or in equity available to the Non-Defaulting Party by reason of any default of the
other Party. 
 ARTICLE 14. ASSIGNMENT 
 This Agreement may not be assigned by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto, which consent may be granted or withheld in the Party’s sole discretion, except that
this Agreement may be assigned without such consent (i) by either Party, to an Affiliate of the assigning Party, or (ii) by Owner to its Affiliate, San Joaquin Valley Strategic Business Unit; provided that any such assignment
hereunder (but excluding an assignment by Operator to Operator’s yet-to-be formed Affiliate, BrightSource Operating Services, LLC) shall not relieve the assigning Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Except with respect to the
assignment permitted under this Section, no assignment by either Party of this Agreement for any purpose whatsoever shall be valid unless all obligations of the assignor hereunder have been assumed by the assignee by written agreement delivered to
the other Party. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties. Any assignment which does not comply with the provisions of this Article shall be null and void. 

ARTICLE 15. INDEMNIFICATION 

15.1 Operator Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, but subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 20.1
and 20.3, Operator shall defend, indemnify and hold Owner and its Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), losses or liabilities incurred by or asserted against
Owner or any of its Indemnitees for injury (including death) to persons or damage or destruction to property and any and all fees, costs or penalties incurred by Owner or any of its Indemnitees, to the extent that such claims, actions, damages,
expenses, losses, liabilities, fees, costs or penalties are caused by or arise out of Operator’s Misperformance; provided that Operator shall not be required to indemnify Owner or any of its Indemnitees for any loss or claim to the
extent such loss or claim is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Owner or any of its Indemnitees. 
 15.2 Owner
Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, but subject to the limitations set forth in Section 20.1, Owner shall defend, indemnify and hold Operator and its Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all claims, actions,

 -21-

 
or destruction to property and any and all fees, costs or penalties incurred by Operator or any of its Indemnitees, to the extent that such claims, actions, damages, expenses, losses or
liabilities are caused by the negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of Owner, its Affiliates, employees, partners, agents, officers or directors; provided that except to the extent set forth in Section 15.4 below, Owner shall not be
required to indemnify Operator or any of its Indemnitees for any loss or claim to the extent such loss or claim is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Operator or any of its Indemnitees. 

15.3 Employee Claims. With respect to any claims against an indemnified Party hereunder by an employee of an indemnifying Party
or anyone directly or indirectly employed by the indemnifying Party or anyone for whose acts it may be liable, the indemnification obligations stated in Sections 15.1 and 15.2 above shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the
amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for the indemnifying Party under any applicable worker’s compensation Law, disability Law or other employee benefit Law. 

15.4 Hazardous Waste and Archaeological Discoveries. 

(a) Upon the discovery of any hazardous waste or toxic materials existing at the Project site, for which Operator does
not have liability under clause (b) below, or of any article of value or antiquity or of archaeological interest, Operator shall (i) promptly cease work in the affected area and direct its personnel and Subcontractors not to remove or
further disturb the material or item; (ii) promptly notify Owner of such discovery; (iii) use all reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of any such discovery on the performance of the Services; and (iv) follow any and all
directions of Owner or its representatives with respect to such discoveries. Operator shall not be required to remove or handle any such hazardous waste or toxic materials. Owner shall be responsible for the removal from the Project site or for
otherwise making safe in accordance with applicable Law any such hazardous waste or toxic materials existing at the Project site, and Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Operator and each of its Indemnitees with respect to any such
hazardous waste or toxic materials. Such indemnity shall apply whether or not Operator or an Operator Indemnitee was or is claimed to be passively, concurrently, or actively negligent, and regardless of whether liability without fault is imposed or
sought to be imposed upon one of more of the Operator Indemnitees. Any item of value or archaeological interest shall, as between Owner and Operator, be deemed to be the property of Owner. 

(b) Operator shall be liable for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Owner and each of its Indemnitees with
respect to, any hazardous waste or toxic materials created, brought on, handled at, generated or disposed from the Project site by Operator, its personnel or any Subcontractor, but only to the extent such action or conduct of Operator or its
Subcontractor is not in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or applicable Law. At its own expense, Operator shall perform or cause to be performed all necessary clean-up, removal, remediation and disposal with respect to any such
hazardous waste or toxic materials for which Operator is responsible in compliance with all applicable Law.

 15.5 Procedures. All claims for indemnification under this Agreement shall be
asserted and resolved as follows: 
 (a) A Party claiming indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified
Party”) shall with reasonable promptness (i) notify the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any third-party claim or claims (“Third Party Claim”)
for which indemnification is sought and (ii) transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (“Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Third Party Claim, a copy of all papers served with
respect to such claim (if any), an estimate of the amount of damages attributable to the Third Party Claim to the extent feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim) and the basis of the Indemnified
Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in providing the Claim Notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from its obligations hereunder
unless (and then only to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is damaged by such delay. 
 Within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Claim
Notice (the “Election Period”), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party (X) whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its potential liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party
Claim and (Y) whether the Indemnifying Party desires, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend against such Third Party Claim, whether or not it disputes its potential liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to
such Third Party Claim. 
 (b) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Election Period that the
Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend, at its sole cost and expense, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, such Third Party Claim
by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted diligently by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this paragraph (b), unless and until the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it chooses to cease such
defense. The Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof, subject to the restrictions contained herein. The Indemnified Party is hereby authorized, at the sole cost and
expense of the Indemnifying Party (but only if the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder), to file, during the Election Period, any motion, answer or other pleadings that the Indemnified Party shall reasonably deem necessary or
appropriate to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party and not materially prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying
Party, to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any
defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this paragraph (b) and shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation, provided, that if the parties to any suit or
proceeding shall include the Indemnifying Party as well as the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that one or more legal defenses may be available to it that may not be available to the Indemnifying Party,
then the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to bear the reasonable 

  
 -23-

 
fees and expenses of counsel of the Indemnified Party, which shall be selected by the Indemnified Party in its complete and sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party
may, at any time and in its sole discretion, release the Indemnifying Party from its obligations hereunder with respect to a Third Party Claim and thereafter assume control of the defense or settlement thereof at its sole cost and expense.

 (c) If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Election Period that the Indemnifying Party
elects to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to paragraph (b) above, or if the Indemnifying Party provides notice pursuant to paragraph (b) above that it will cease the defense of the Indemnified Party or elects to defend the
Indemnified Party, but fails diligently and promptly to prosecute or settle the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (but only if the Indemnified Party
is entitled to indemnification hereunder), the Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be promptly and vigorously prosecuted by the Indemnified Party to a final conclusion or settled. The Indemnified Party shall
have full control of such defense and proceedings with respect to the liability of the Indemnified Party but not the Indemnifying Party. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party has delivered a written notice to the Indemnified Party to the effect that the Indemnifying Party disputes its potential liability to the
Indemnified Party hereunder and if such dispute is resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s defense pursuant to paragraphs (b) or
(c) above, or of the Indemnified Party’s participation therein at the Indemnifying Party’s request, and the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all costs and expenses of such litigation. 

(e) The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant
to paragraph (c) above, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation. 
 (f) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall transmit to the Indemnifying
Party a written notice (the “Indemnity Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, a reasonable estimate of the amount of damages attributable to such claim to the extent feasible (which estimate shall
not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim) and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days from
its receipt of the Indemnity Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the claim specified by the Indemnified Party in the Indemnity Notice shall be deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party has
timely disputed such claim, as provided above, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Article 18. 
 15.6 Payment.
In the event either Party is required to make an indemnity payment under this Article 15, such Party shall promptly pay the indemnified 

  
 -24-

 
Party the amount so determined. The amount owing to the indemnified Party shall be the amount of such indemnified Party’s actual out-of-pocket loss or expense, net of any insurance or other
recovery paid to such indemnified Party. If there is a dispute as to the amount or manner of determination of any indemnity obligation, the indemnifying Party shall nevertheless pay when due such portion, if any, of the obligation as is not subject
to dispute. Upon the payment in full of any claim, the indemnifying Party making payment shall be subrogated to the rights of the indemnified Party against any person with respect to the subject matter of such claim. 

15.7 Not a Reimbursable Expense. It is understood and agreed by the Parties that any costs or expenses incurred by Operator
pursuant to its indemnity obligations under this Article 15, including the cost of any deductibles with respect to the insurance maintained by Operator or Owner pursuant to Article 16, shall be for Operator’s own account and shall not
constitute a Reimbursable Expense under this Agreement. 
 15.8 Term of Indemnity. Notwithstanding any other provision
in this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnification obligations and rights set forth in this Article 15 shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Agreement with respect to events, occurrences or conditions existing or arising
on or prior to such expiration or other termination. 
 ARTICLE 16. INSURANCE 

16.1 Intentionally deleted. 
 16.2 Operator’s Insurance. It is understood and agreed by the Parties that neither the minimum policy limits of insurance required in connection with the Services under this Article 16 nor the

of all deductibles or self-insured retentions that are applicable to any claims made against the Owner covered by insurance policies required to be maintained or caused to be maintained by Operator under this Article 16. The level of these
deductibles or retentions must be reasonable and compatible with that expected of a prudent contractor in similar circumstances. 
 16.4 Evidence of Insurance. Before commencing the Services, Operator shall provide Owner with certificates or other documentary evidence satisfactory to Owner of the insurance and endorsements set
forth in Sections 16.2 and 16.5. Acceptance of any such certificate by Company shall not constitute a waiver, release or modification of any of the insurance coverages and endorsements required under this Article 16. Upon request of Owner, Operator
shall provide copies of insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement. 
 16.5 Endorsements. 

(a) Operator shall, or shall cause the insurers to, provide Owner with thirty (30) days’ written notice (ten (10) days
for nonpayment of premium therefor) prior to the cancellation or making of a material change of the insurance required by Section 16.2 above. 
 (b) The insurance specified in Section 16.2 above shall contain waivers of subrogation rights in favor of the Indemnitees.

insured must expressly include liability imposed or sought to be imposed upon the Owner to the extent that Operator has assumed such liabilities under the Agreement; 

 

	 	(B)	provide that the insurance is primary coverage with respect to all insureds, including additional insureds, and shall not be considered contributory insurance with any

	 	(C)	provide a cross-liability or severability of interest clause that has the effect of ensuring that each insured (including additional insureds) is covered as a separate
insured.

a written waiver of subrogation in favor of the Owner from insurers who provide physical damage insurance with respect to any property used in the performance of the Services to the extent Operator has assumed liability for its property under this
Agreement. 
 16.7 Insurance Required from Subcontractors. Without in any way limiting Operator’s
liability pursuant to Article 16, Operator shall cause its subcontractors, subject to appropriate adjustments given the nature, location, and extent of the activities of said subcontractors, to obtain the insurance coverage and endorsements set
forth in Sections 16.2(a) and 16.2(b) and 16.5(a) and 16.5(b) above, but with the Owner named as an additional insured thereon. 
 ARTICLE 17.
NON-WAIVER OF BREACH 
 Either Party may specifically waive any breach of this Agreement or compliance with any of the terms
hereof by the other Party, but no such waiver shall be deemed to have been given unless such waiver is in writing, signed by the waiving Party and specifically designates the breach or compliance which is waived, nor shall any such waiver constitute
a continuing waiver of similar or other breaches or of other future compliance. 
 ARTICLE 18. DISPUTE RESOLUTION 

18.1 Negotiation of Disputes and Disagreements. The Parties shall attempt within forty five (45) days after the date (the

 18.2 Arbitration. 

(a) If Owner and Operator are unsuccessful in their good faith attempt to resolve the dispute, the dispute shall be
submitted to, and settled by, binding arbitration in San Francisco, California. The Parties shall, within twenty (20) days after the formal conclusion of the mediation but not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Issue Date,
select a mutually agreed upon single arbitrator and may utilize any format and rules for the binding arbitration upon which they may mutually agree. If the Parties are unable to so agree, the dispute shall be submitted to a single arbitrator in San
Francisco, California chosen by the Parties from a list of retired judges and justices at JAMS, San Francisco, California. Should the Parties be unable to agree on a choice of arbitrator within thirty (30) days from the date of the aforesaid
submission to arbitration, 

  
 -27-

 
the contract arbitration administrator of JAMS in San Francisco, California shall furnish to each party a list of three names and each side shall strike one name, thereby nominating the remaining
person as the arbitrator. If more than one name remains, the contract arbitration administrator of JAMS will choose an arbitrator from the list of remaining names. In no event is the arbitrator authorized or empowered to award punitive or
consequential damages or damages in excess of actual direct damages. The arbitration award shall be in writing and shall specify the factual and legal basis for the award. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any
court with jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall determine the allocation of the costs and expenses of arbitration based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each Party bears to the amount actually contested by
such Party. For example, if the Owner submits a claim for $1,000 and if the Operator contests only $500 of such amount, and if the arbitrator resolves the dispute by awarding the Owner $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of
arbitration will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300 divided by 500) to the Operator and 40% (i.e., 200 divided by 500) to the Owner. 
 (b) Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, either Party may request injunctive relief and/or equitable relief from the arbitrators or the court in order to protect the rights or
property of such Party pending the resolution of the dispute as provided hereunder. 
 (c) Injunctive Relief
Upon Breach of Confidentiality. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of the confidentiality provisions of Article 22 hereof by a Party, the other Party will suffer irreparable damages and its remedy at law will be inadequate. Therefore,
if the disclosing Party threatens to breach or actually breaches such confidentiality provisions, the other Party shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies available to it at law or in equity, to the following: (a) equitable relief,
including specific performance and injunctive relief to enforce any confidentiality provision hereof and to restrain such disclosing Party from using or disclosing, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information, without
having to prove that actual damages or monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and without having to post a bond and (b) recovery for damages, losses, and expenses of any nature (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and
other litigation expenses) arising out of, resulting from, or otherwise relating to such breach or threatened breach 
 18.3
Applicable Law. The agreement to arbitrate set forth in Section 18.2 shall be enforceable in federal and state court. In deciding the substance of any claim, dispute or disagreement, the arbitrators shall apply the substantive Laws of
the State of California. 
 18.4 Pendency of Dispute. The existence of any dispute, claim or disagreement under this
Agreement or the pendency of the dispute settlement or resolution procedures set forth herein shall not in and of themselves relieve or excuse either Party from its ongoing duties and obligations under this Agreement, and Operator shall nevertheless
proceed with the performance of the Services hereunder. 

  
 -28-

 ARTICLE 19. FORCE MAJEURE 
 19.1 Definition. The term “Force Majeure” as used herein means acts, events, occurrences and conditions beyond the reasonable control, and not due to the fault or negligence, of the Party
claiming Force Majeure which have an adverse effect on that Party’s ability to perform its obligations and which by the exercise of due diligence such Party could not reasonably have been expected to avoid, which may include acts of God, labor
disputes (other than those affecting Operator unless such labor disputes are of a general or regional nature or affect the entire industry), fire, floods, earthquake, severe weather events outside of the range of weather conditions reasonably to be
expected at the Project at the time such weather event occurs, the effect of changes in applicable Laws, actions by federal, state, or municipal agencies, actions of legislative, judicial, or regulatory agencies or denial, lapse or revocation of any
permit, license or regulatory approval necessary in connection with the operation or maintenance of the Project. Force Majeure shall not include Operator’s Subcontractor or equipment vendor failures or delays, except to the extent resulting
from any of the foregoing causes. 
 19.2 Excuse for Force Majeure. If either Party because of Force Majeure is rendered
wholly or partly unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement (except any obligation to pay money), that Party shall be excused from whatever performance is affected by the Force Majeure (except any obligation to pay money) to the
extent so affected provided that: 
 (a) the non-performing Party, as soon as reasonably practicable but in no
event later than five (5) Days after the occurrence of the Force Majeure, gives the other Party written notice describing the particulars of the occurrence, 

(b) the suspension of performance is of no greater scope and of no longer duration than is required by the Force Majeure,

 (c) the non-performing Party uses its reasonable efforts to mitigate and remedy its inability to perform
(provided that this subsection shall not require the settlement of any strike, walkout, lockout or other labor dispute on terms which, in the sole judgment of the Party involved in the dispute, are contrary to its interest, it being
understood that the settlement of strikes, walkouts, lockouts or other labor disputes shall be at the sole discretion of the Party having the difficulty), 
 (d) No obligations of the non-performing Party which arose before the occurrence causing the suspension of performance shall be excused as a result of the occurrence, and 

(e) when the non-performing Party is able to resume performance of its obligations under this Agreement, that Party shall
give the other Party written notice to that effect and shall promptly resume performance hereunder. 
 19.3 Legal
Changes. In the event a Party is unable to perform due to legislative, judicial, or regulatory agency action, this Agreement shall be amended as appropriate to comply with the legal change which caused the non-performance. 

  
 -29-

 19.4 Payment. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, during the
occurrence and continuation of any event of Force Majeure, Owner shall remain obligated to pay to Operator the compensation set forth in Section 9, paragraph (a) subject to an amendment of the applicable annual budget, as the case may be,
pursuant to Article 8, if appropriate, to provide for any increase or decrease in Reimbursable Expenses or other costs incurred by Operator as a result of such Force Majeure; and provided further that Operator shall use all reasonable
efforts to limit the amount of expenses incurred during such period. 
 19.5 Owner Self-Help. If within a reasonable
time after an event of Force Majeure has occurred that has caused Operator to suspend or delay performance of the Services, action to be undertaken by Operator has been identified and recommended to Operator by Owner, and Operator has failed to take
such action as Operator could lawfully and reasonably initiate to remove or relieve the Force Majeure or its direct or indirect effects, Owner may, in its sole discretion and after written notice to Operator, initiate such reasonable measures as are
designed to remove or relieve such Force Majeure or its direct or indirect effects, and thereafter Owner may require Operator to resume full or partial performance of the Services in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, in the event of a strike or other form of labor action or disruption by Operator’s personnel affecting the operation of the Project for a period in excess of twelve (12) hours, Owner shall have the right to
operate the Project itself, and to retain such other personnel, contractors or agents as Owner in its sole discretion deems necessary or advisable for such purpose. 
 ARTICLE 20. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY 
 20.1 Exclusion of Liability for
Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Party nor its Affiliates, partners, members, agents, subcontractors, suppliers, vendors or their employees, of any tier, shall be liable hereunder

and their respective Affiliates, partners, members, agents, subcontractors, suppliers, vendors and their employees, of any tier, therefrom; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall limit the obligations of Owner and
Operator under Article 15 to indemnify the other Party with respect to claims by third parties otherwise covered by the provisions of Article 15. 
 20.2 Aggregate Limitation of Operator’s Liability. Operator’s aggregate cumulative liability to Owner during the Term of this Agreement, including liability for matters resulting from

event exceed [*] of the compensation paid to Operator under this Agreement; provided, that the foregoing limitation of liability shall not apply if and to the extent that any liability of Operator hereunder is funded by the proceeds of the
insurance maintained by Operator or Owner pursuant to Article 16 (nor shall such proceeds count toward such aggregate 
  

* Confidential Treatment Requested

limitation of liability). The parties agree that, except for such liability, Owner’s sole remedy for breach of this Agreement by Operator, or for the failure of Operator to perform the

affiliated entities of such Party, and their partners, principals, members, directors, officers and employees.

ARTICLE 22. PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 
 22.1 Confidential Information. During the performance of the Services hereunder, it will be necessary for each Party to make its or its Affiliates’ confidential technical, business or
other information (“Confidential Information”) available to the other Party. Each Party agrees to use all such Confidential Information provided by the other Party solely for the performance of this Agreement, including the

disclosure of its Confidential Information to subcontractors, consultants, accountants and attorneys, and other agents, advisors and representatives of the Owner to the extent necessary for such parties to perform their work in connection with the

Article 22 by any of its own subcontractors, vendors, consultants, accountants and attorneys, and other agents, advisors and representatives. All Confidential Information shall be promptly returned to the disclosing Party or, at such Party’s
option, destroyed, upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement, except that the Owner may retain copies of the Confidential Information of Operator to the extent necessary in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance, repair,
and replacement of the Project and Operator may retain copies of the Confidential Information of the Owner to the extent necessary to fulfill its obligations hereunder and to document the performance of the Services. 

22.2 Public Statements. Each Party shall not (i) use the names or marks of the other Party and its Affiliates in any
advertisements, marketing materials, product endorsements, press releases or any other publications, documentations or announcements, including announcements about this Agreement or the activities contemplated hereunder, or (ii) photograph or

except that this limitation shall not apply to either Party with respect to the Project so long as such photographs or video tapes are themselves considered Confidential Information and subject to the terms of Section 22.1). Operator shall not
publish or publicly release any information, announcement or press release about the Project without Owner’s prior written consent. Owner may publish or release any information, announcement or press release about the Project without using the
names or marks of Operator in its sole discretion. 
 22.3 Exclusions and Required Disclosure. Except as expressly
permitted herein, neither Party shall disclose to any third party any Confidential Information about the Project, including without limitation the Services and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the
other Party. The term “Confidential Information” with respect to a Party shall not include, and obligations of confidentiality herein shall not apply to, information that: (i) the other Party had in its possession at the time of

protective order may be sought by the other Party and such Party shall cooperate with the other Party in seeking such protective order. In the absence of such an order or upon the 

  
 -32-

 
receipt of a waiver by the other Party with respect to compliance with the provisions hereof for purposes of the required disclosure, a Party shall disclose only that portion of Confidential
Information that it is advised by its counsel is legally required, it shall give the other Party written notice of what will be disclosed as far in advance as possible, and it shall take all reasonable and lawful actions to obtain confidential
treatment for such disclosure.

Party and in the case of a violation of Section 31.1(c), shall immediately reimburse the other Party an amount equal to the amount of the payment or the value of the gift to such an official which gives rise to such violation. Each Party shall
hold the other Party harmless for all losses and expenses arising out of violations of this Section 31.3. 
 (i)
Universal Provisions. Owner represents to Provider that Section 31.3(g) is a standard provision, and that it, or a substantially similar provision, is required by its corporate policies to be placed in every negotiated contract that it
enters into in which United States Federal laws may apply, and Owner acknowledges and agrees that by its mere presence no implication is intended and no inference shall be drawn that the laws and regulations thereby incorporated by reference are
applicable to the performance by Operator of its obligations hereunder.

EXHIBIT D 

TRAINING PLAN FOR OWNER’S OPERATING PERSONNEL 
 The Parties acknowledge Operator’s training of Owner’s personnel is crucial to the successful transition to Owner of all Project operation and maintenance responsibilities after the Term. The
purpose of the training plan for Operator’s personnel (the “Training Plan”), set forth hereunder, is to ensure Operator (i) sufficiently trains Owner’s personnel and (ii) makes available to Owner all Project-specific
information, both as required for Owner’s preparation to operate and maintain the Project efficiently, safely, and effectively. 

Operator, in consultation with BSCM and Owner, shall develop the Training Plan. Operator’s development of the Training Plan will begin as of the
Effective Date, utilizing then existing BSCM training documentation as a starting point, and continue through the Term of the Agreement. After the Commencement Date, Operator shall meet with Owner quarterly to establish any upcoming training
activities, if needed, and review the Training Plan. 
 The Training Plan will include the following: 

 

	 	•	 	 Guidelines for Owner representation and participation in equipment manufacturer training, if any. 

 

	 	•	 	 Guidelines and schedules for Owner’s personnel to shadow and learn from Operator’s personnel during Operator’s operation and maintenance
activities. 

  

	 	•	 	 Provisions for training sessions facilitated by Operator, if deemed applicable by both Parties, during which Operator will provide tutorials to
Owner’s personnel on selected operation and maintenance activities. 

  

	 	•	 	 Requirements for a Certification Program, jointly developed by Operator and Owner, that will set forth minimum requirements for Owner’s personnel
to conduct operations and maintenance activities at the Project. The Certification Program will, as practical and if applicable, include requirements of Owner’s personnel for the following: (i) minimum hours of shadowing of Operator
personnel during selected activities, (ii) Operator training sessions, (iii) Project specific safety training, (iv) sections of the Operation Plan and/or Maintenance Plan to be reviewed, (v) other Project Documents to be
reviewed, and (vi) any other activities, qualifications or training requirements to be completed. 

 Owner’s
participation in Training Plan activities shall not interfere with Operator’s ability to fulfill the obligation of its requirements under the Agreement.

 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR HEALTH, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY GUIDELINES 

COMPANY is committed to providing a safe, healthy workplace for its employees and those of its contractors and subcontractors. The safety and well-being
of those with whom we work is of paramount importance to COMPANY. Job safety is considered a critical driver in our aim to achieve operational excellence and incident-free operations through safe, reliable, efficient and environmentally sound
operations. 
 CONTRACTOR shall comply with the following Independent Contractor Health, Environmental and Safety Guidelines when performing
work for COMPANY. These guidelines are to be considered as minimum standards. These guidelines are intended to supplement, not replace, CONTRACTOR’s safety program. It is CONTRACTOR’s responsibility to develop and implement a program to
assure exemplary workplace health, environmental and safety protection. CONTRACTOR’s compliance with these guidelines in no way alters CONTRACTOR’s status as an independent contractor or CONTRACTOR’s liability and indemnity under this
Contract. 
  

	1.	RESPONSIBILITY FOR COMPLIANCE 

  

	 	1.1	CONTRACTOR shall communicate these guidelines, as well as any other health, environmental and safety requirements provided by COMPANY, to all of its employees,
subcontractors, and the employees of its subcontractors,. Additionally, CONTRACTOR shall ensure that all such employees and subcontractors are made aware of the content of the guidelines and any other requirements prior to beginning work. CONTRACTOR
shall maintain written documentation of its fulfillment of this responsibility. 

  

	 	1.2	CONTRACTOR shall comply with all applicable health, environmental and safety laws, regulations, rules, and standards and any other requirements specified by COMPANY in

will be responsible for health, environmental and safety protection at the job site(s). 

  

	 	1.5	CONTRACTOR shall have in place a comprehensive Health, Environmental and Safety (HES) program with a strong focus on continuous performance improvement. At any time and
from time to time, COMPANY may require CONTRACTOR to furnish COMPANY with a copy of CONTRACTOR’s HES program together with complete details concerning the implementation of such program. COMPANY shall have the right to audit CONTRACTOR’s
HES program. These guidelines are intended to supplement,

	2.	HEALTH, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY PROTECTION 

  

	 	2.1	Prior to the performance of work, COMPANY will tell CONTRACTOR if a HES Protection Work Plan is required, the scope of the Plan, and the required submission date to
COMPANY. 

  

	 	2.2	If required by COMPANY, CONTRACTOR shall submit a HES Protection Work Plan to COMPANY for review. The Plan shall describe the health, environmental and safety issues
and risks associated with the work, and CONTRACTOR’s and its subcontractors’ safety and environmental programs in place to address these issues. 

  

	 	2.3	CONTRACTOR’s HES Protection Work Plan shall be based on, and comply with, applicable laws, decrees, administrative rules and regulations, relevant COMPANY policy
and operating procedures, and oil field best practices 

  

	 	2.4	Prior to starting work, CONTRACTOR’s on-site manager shall participate in a safety and environmental protection orientation with the designated COMPANY
representative. 

  

	 	2.5	 Prior to starting project, the Contractor shall meet with the Company representative to discuss emergency procedures, alarm systems, shutdown controls,
H2S precautions, protective clothing and equipment, fire
protection equipment and hazardous chemical precautions. 

  

	 	2.6	Prior to starting work, the COMPANY representative may review CONTRACTOR’s HES Protection Work Plan and either accept it, or return it to CONTRACTOR with notice of
deficiencies. 

  

	 	2.7	CONTRACTOR shall not start work without a HES Protection Work Plan, if required, that has been accepted by COMPANY. 

 

	 	2.8	Prior to starting any non-routine or safety critical work, CONTRACTOR shall perform a Daily Job Safety Analysis (“JSA”) as directed by the COMPANY. The JSA
shall (i) carefully study and record each step of a job, (ii) identify existing and/or potential equipment, environmental, or action-generated job hazards, and (iii) determine the best way to perform the job to reduce or eliminate
hazards. The JSA shall be communicated to and fully understood by all persons who will participate in the performance of the work. CONTRACTOR shall, upon COMPANY’s request, furnish COMPANY with a copy of each JSA and documentation showing that
the JSA has been communicated to and fully understood by all workers. 

  

	 	2.9	CONTRACTOR shall participate in a Behavioral Based Safety Process which shall include training personnel to observe co-workers for safe (and at-risk) performance and
provide feedback after the completion of the observation.

H2S monitor to take into such areas after instructing its
employees and subcontractors in its use. Said employees shall be qualified to use Supplied Air Breathing Apparatus (SABA). CONTRACTOR’s employees and subcontractors shall immediately leave any such area and notify COMPANY if 10 parts per
million H2S or higher concentration is detected by the
monitor. Entering confined or enclosed spaces without SABA shall not be undertaken if the atmosphere is over 10 ppm
H2S. All CONTRACTOR’s employees shall conform to COMPANY
H2S Personnel Policy pursuant to CAL/OSHA General Industry
Safety Order 5144(c). THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS. 

  

	4.	TRAFFIC AND VEHICLES

CNAEP Contract Addendum (SSE portion only): 
  

	 	24.1	Short Service Employees 

  

	 	(A)	A short service employee means an individual who has been employed by CONTRACTOR for less than six (6) months or has been in a like job by CONTRACTOR for less than
six (6) months. No one person crew may be staffed by an SSE. Only one SSE is allowed on a 2-4 person crew and on crews of 5 persons or more no more than 20% may be SSEs. CONTRACTOR shall notify COMPANY of any SSEs on its crews. A qualified
mentor must be assigned to each SSE to monitor the SSE’s job performance. Exceptions to the SSE policy may be made only with COMPANY’s prior approval. 

 

	 	24.2	What this means: 

  

	 	(A)	Chevron expects Business Partners (BPs) to have a short service employee process. 

 

	 	(B)	Chevron Location Supervisors must be notified of SSEs and exceptions must be approved by the Chevron representative. 

 

	 	(C)	A form is attached for both notification & exception purposes. BPs should retain the document. 

 

	 	(D)	The BPs Short Service Employee process will be reviewed as part of Chevron’s safety management audit process. 

 

	 	24.3	Frequently Asked Questions 

  

December 10, 2008 

  
 11 

	 	(A)	What is the objective of this policy? Section 19.00 Short Service Employees, is in place to ensure that personnel new to the oil and gas industry work
safely, are identified, appropriately supervised, and trained in order to prevent incidents such as injury, environmental damage or property damage. 

  

	 	(B)	If an individual has many years of experience, but is new to the company or position, are they considered a SSE? No. Prior experience with the same company or
different company can be applied towards meeting the six month requirement. This type of experience could include journeymen or experience with another company in a similar job category. It is the responsibility of the Business Partner to ensure
sufficient experience and craft skills. The BPs SSE process is evaluated during the safety management audit. 

  

	 	(C)	What if I have one man operations or single service provider? If the BP has a proficiency process (either written or demonstration) that address craft skills,
hazard identification and peer evaluation, then the BP employee is allowed to work individually. 

  

	 	(D)	Can individuals be released from the SSE requirements prior to six months? Yes, if the business partner has a program for assessing competencies
and documents that the individual has demonstrated the BPs required craft skills. The program and supporting documentation will be subject to safety management audit review. 

 

	 	(E)	If an individual has been employed by the BP for many years, but was recently promoted to a new position, are they considered a SSE? No. 

 

	 	(F)	If an individual changes companies and then is rehired at a later date, is the person considered a SSE upon rehire? No. 

 

	 	(G)	Who must be notified of the SSE? The Chevron Location Supervisor, or delegate, must be notified. Delegates are listed in Table 1 below.

  

	 	(H)	Who will approve SSE crew exceptions (>20% SSE crews or single person SSE crews)? The Chevron Location Supervisor, or delegate, must approve. Refer to
Item 2, 3, 4 and 5, above.

	*	Process = Thermal, Repair, Electrical, Workover, Infrastructure Support 

  

	 	(I)	What if I have a seven (7) person crew – can I “round up” and have two (2) SSEs? More than 20% SSE in a crew of 5 or greater requires an
exception approval. Refer to Item 3 and 5, above. 

  

	 	(J)	Will notification forms & exception forms be needed? Yes. Attached is the form which must be used for notification and/or exception requests. The form
is available on the SJVBU Contractor Safety Management (CSM) website http://sjvbu.Chevron.com/safety/prejob.asp. 

  

	 	(K)	Can this be done electronically? Yes. Forms can be electronically approved. For added security, individuals with SMARTBadges can add digital signatures to the
documents. 

  

	 	(L)	What if I have a large number of SSEs, for example due to a rapid expansion or due to vendors merging? The information can be provided in a spreadsheet format for
efficiency. 

  

	 	(M)	Can SSE notifications & exception requests be made when the SSE arrives on site? Notification & exception requests must be approved by the
Chevron Location Supervisor prior to the SSE commencing work. 

  

	 	(N)	How often will an exception need to be re-issued? An exception will not have to be re-issued. 

 

	 	(O)	What if the SSE moves to another area? The notification is good for work throughout SJVBU. 

 

	 	(P)	If a non-SSE moves to another location, are they considered a SSE? No. 

  

	 	(Q)	Who keeps the completed forms? For how long? The Business Partner. Minimum until the person is off the SSE list. 

 

	 	(R)	Who is a qualified mentor? What are the mentor’s responsibilities? The BP’s SSE Program must outline the mentor process. The mentor should have more
experience than the SSE and be able to answer questions, assess and coach the SSEs safe work practices. 

  

	 	(S)	Does the mentor have to be onsite with the SSE? No. The mentor should be available to fulfill the responsibilities outlined in the BPs SSE mentor process.

  
 December 10, 2008 

  
 13 

	 	(T)	 What about subcontracted or
3rd party employees? Chevron SJVBU BPs are required to manage their sub-contractors in alignment with the Chevron contract, which includes Section 19.00 Short Service Employee. 

 

	 	(U)	What are the visibility requirements? The BP is responsible for providing the means to identify SSEs. 

 

	 	(V)	How will compliance be tracked and monitored? The Chevron safety management audit process has been modified to ensure periodic review of the BPs process.

  

	 	(W)	I have more questions, where do I get more answers? The SJVBU Contractor Safety Management (CSM) website may have some of the answers you need. The link is
listed below: 

 http://sjvbu.Chevron.com/safety/prejob.asp. Otherwise, please don’t hesitate to

 C. Purpose of the Project Safety Management Plan 

The purpose of this Project Safety Management Plan (PSMP) is to provide a listing of Company and Provider established and recommended safe work practices
and guidelines to be followed during the construction and initial operation and maintenance of the Project. This document defines the minimum expectations required for this project as it is supplemental to the Chevron Blue Book as defined in Section
G(3). 
 D. Safety Objectives, Guiding Principles, Operational Excellence 

 

	 	1.	Safety Objectives 

 The overall safety
objective for the Project is to have everyone working on the Project return home safely every night. In order to meet this objective, all project personnel must be completely committed to performing every aspect of the Project in a safe manner.

  

	 	2.	Guiding Principles 

 The guiding
principles to assist the project team in meeting the overall safety objectives are: 
  

	•	 	 Safety is Value-Based, not just Priority-Based – Safety is not in competition with organizational priorities of cost or schedule. Safety is
never compromised for any circumstance or in any situation. If we can’t do it safely, then we will not do it. 

  

	•	 	 Partnership – Effective safety implementation and improved safety performance requires a partnership between the Company and Provider
Management Teams and by demonstrating their commitment through effective leadership behaviors. 

  

	•	 	 Incident Free Operations Culture – Company and Provider Management Teams along with workers have a strong commitment to participate in
promoting an incident and injury free culture. They all work together to eliminate barriers and obstacles. 

  

	•	 	 Value of People and Workers – Company and Provider Management Teams demonstrate the value of its people and focuses on continuous
improvement of safety behaviors, by involving the entire work force from craft workers to Company and Provider management. Every task is performed with a concern for the safety of ourselves, our fellow employees, contractors, visitors, vendors,
customers and the communities in which we are working. A successful process focuses on people versus numbers or statistics.

 Definitions 
 Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) – the total number of recordable incidents (fatalities, days away from work, restricted activity, other medical cases) 

Days Away from Work – when an employee or contractor is away from work one or more days after the day of a work-related injury or illness.
Incidents are still considered to be a DAFW even if the first day of work missed is several days/weeks/months after the initial date of the incident. 
 Monthly Leadership Observations (BBS) – Behavior Based Observations conducted by Senior Leadership from Company, Provider, and other onsite management on a monthly basis. This will result in
3-4 observations completed per month. 
 Injury/Illness Incident Rates

 H. Communication 
 Clear and concise communication between all stakeholders is essential to ensure the health and safety of all project personnel. 
 In order to ensure this communication occurs, a number of communication processes will be implemented during this project. Communication efforts will include, but will not be limited to: 

 

	 	1.	Daily Pre-Job Safety Meetings or Tailgate Safety Meetings 

 Prior to the start of each workday or new tasks, a Pre-Job Safety Meeting (also called Tailgate Safety Meetings) will be led by the Provider and involve all persons leading work on-site to discuss and
identify risks associated with the day’s work. 
 All activities discussed at these meetings should be communicated to all personnel to
ensure that adjacent workers performing activities are made aware of the potential work hazards around them. Each crew will develop a site specific Job Safety Analysis (JSA) outlining the potential hazards and the steps taken to mitigate those
hazards. All on-site workers that are associated with leading work to be carried out will attend the Pre-Job Safety Meetings. 
 A record of all
Pre-Job Safety Meetings shall be kept on file at the site by the Provider Project Manager and should include a copy each JSA as required for the job at hand. 
  

	 	2.	Bi-Weekly Project Safety Meetings 

 On a
weekly basis, a Project Safety Meeting will be held to discuss the state of current health and safety and to plan for future activities. These meetings will be led by the Provider Project Safety Manager and Provider Construction Manager. The
following personnel should attend the Weekly Project Safety Meetings: 
  

	 	•	 	 Company Construction Superintendent 

  

	 	•	 	 Company Site HES Representative (if available) 

  

	 	•	 	 Provider Project Manager 

  

	 	•	 	 Provider Construction Manager 

  

	 	•	 	 Provider Project Safety Manager 

  

	 	•	 	 Provider Lead Operator (during initial operation and maintenance) 

 

	 	•	 	 All onsite crew and personnel 

 These Weekly Project Safety Meetings will be used to: 
  

	 	•	 	 Exchange information between project personnel regarding hazards, safety concerns, and safety performance 

 

	 	•	 	 Focus on proactive approaches to safety issues and concerns 

  
 Revised: December 11, 2008

 Project Safety Management Plan 
  

 

	 	•	 	 Discuss Lessons Learned from the job 

  

	 	•	 	 Review all Incident or Near Miss investigations 

  

	 	•	 	 Safety topics related to the work that is underway or immediately upcoming such as: 

 

	 	1.	Emergency response plan 

  

	 	2.	Job Scope and flow of events and simultaneous operations 

  

	 	3.	Lockout/tagout blockout procedures 

  

	 	4.	Hot work, Pinch point/line of fire, Back Safety 

  

	 	5.	Wind shifts and appropriate action

	 	•	 	 Recognize those individuals with outstanding safety performance 

 Each individual that attends these safety meetings shall sign their signature documenting attendance. Along with the attendance sheet, minutes of this meeting will be recorded by on site rep with copies
supplied to Contractors and Project Binders. 
  

	 	3.	Monthly Management Team Meetings (During construction phase only) 

 The Monthly Management Team Meeting will be held at the Coalinga facility and will include the Project Management Team as well as all of the onsite Company and Provider management teams. These meetings
are intended to update the Project Management Team of the monthly activities as they pertain to the safety metrics and progress of the operation. The Company and Provider Construction Managers will lead this meeting and provide a detailed agenda
prior to the meeting date each month. 
 I. Personal Protective Equipment 
 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements will be established for the project through completion of Job Hazard Assessments (JHAs). All personnel entering the job site must wear the required PPE at
all times. Appropriate use of PPE will protect personnel from the potential hazards to the respiratory system, skin, eyes, face, hands, feet, head, body and hearing that may be encountered on the job site. 

Provider must ensure that all protective clothing and equipment are kept in good condition and stored and maintained in a proper manner. 

Where possible, hazards must be evaluated for the opportunity of elimination and appropriate engineering or administrative controls as mitigation
techniques. If this cannot be achieved, PPE is used to protect the worker.

 Section II — Safe Work Practices & Procedures 

A. Behavioral Based Safety 
 A corner
stone of our safety effort is the Behavioral Based Safety Observation Process. The safety efforts and energy placed in providing a safe work environment will greatly benefit all personnel. The Behavioral Based Safety Observation Process uses
positive reinforcement to maintain safe behaviors and eliminate unsafe behaviors. The process includes: 
  

	 	1.	Employee participation for continuous improvement 

  

	 	2.	Hazard/task analysis to identify critical safety behaviors 

  

	 	3.	Feedback to reinforce safe behaviors 

 By
working together, communicating openly, and guiding each other in safe actions, we will achieve the level of safety performance we will all be proud of. 
 B. Safe Conduct Requirements 
  

	 	1.	Practical jokes, wrestling, water righting, and all other forms of horseplay are prohibited in any company facilities, including parking lots and change rooms.

  

	 	2.	Never enter a designated chemical handling area without adequate protective equipment and training.

 15 

	 	
19.5% O2) or contain harmful concentrations of toxic contaminants. 

  

	 	2)	When respiratory protection equipment is required the Supervisors shall ensure the employees are: 1) medically evaluated, 2) trained, and 3) fit-tested.

  

	 	b.	Facial Hair 

 Personnel required
to wear respiratory protective equipment are not permitted to have beards, mustaches, or sideburns in the face piece sealing area upon donning respirators. Emergency response personnel must be clean shaven in the seal area upon arrival to work.

  

	 	c.	Special Precautions 

 When
entering atmospheres immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH), e.g., oxygen deficient and/or containing harmful concentrations of toxic contaminants, at least one standby person shall be present. Consideration for additional standby persons
should be taken depending upon the job requirements. The standby person shall have equivalent respiratory protective equipment available to assist the respirator wearer in case of emergency. Communications (visual or vocal) shall be maintained
between the standby person and the respirator wearers. The standby person shall be current in First Aid/CPR, emergency rescue procedures and shall not engage in any other site activities while entry is in progress. 

Work in atmospheres that are immediately dangerous to life and health are not permitted, except during emergency situations, and then
only under strict controls, such as a backup with SABA. No entry is allowed in the following conditions: 
 LEL> 10%

 O2 level < 16.5% or > 23.5% 

  
 16 

 
H2S > 300 ppm 
 Temperature > 110oF 

 

	 	d.	Respirator Selection 

 Only the
following types of respiratory protective equipment are acceptable for use: 
  

	 	1)	Supplied Air Breathing Apparatus (SABA) Respirators: 

  

	 	•	 	 Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) 

  

	 	•	 	 Hose line respirators equipped with a pressure demand type regulator and an emergency egress bottle

	 	2.	Defensive Driving Principles 

The Defensive Driving Principles of Space Cushion driving are applied to the job of driving. Adequate space for the vehicle + adequate
visibility = time to predict the actions of others and to isolate yourself from danger and communicate to others your presence and/or intentions. 
 The keys to Space Cushion driving are summarized as follows: 
  

	 	a.	Aim High in Steering 

  

	 	b.	Get the Big Picture 

  

	 	c.	Keep Your Eyes Moving - All Four Sides of Vehicle Plus Overhead 

  

	 	d.	Leave Yourself An Out 

  

	 	e.	Make Sure They See You 

  

	 	3.	Safe Vehicle Operations 

  

	 	a.	 Make every attempt to position your vehicle so your 

  
 20 

	 	
first move is forward. 

  

	 	1)	Plan ahead to park so you can continue forward when leaving. 

  

	 	2)	When backing into a parking spot use a spotter/ passenger if available. 

  

	 	b.	If first move forward parking is not possible and your first move has to be backwards, use a spotter and/or walk around your vehicle to make sure the space is clear.

  

	 	c.	Personnel should walk around the vehicle before starting the engine to check for possible obstructions or unfavorable conditions. 

 

	 	4.	Safe Parking 

  

	 	a.	Do not park behind another vehicle or in such a position that places your vehicle in another vehicle’s blind spot. 

 

	 	b.	Vehicles are to be parked off the roadway where they will not be an obstruction to traffic. 

 

	 	c.	The engine shall be turned off, parking brake set, transmission set in park, and all doors closed. 

 

	 	d.	For vehicles parked on steep decline or incline: 

  

	 	1)	Front wheels properly turned to curb or bank 

  

	 	2)	Vehicles 1 ton and above, e.g., welders, hydrocranes etc., shall have wheels properly chocked 

 

	 	3)	Parking brake engaged 

  

	 	e.	Ensure all proper procedures are followed when operating vehicles with air or electric brakes. 

  
 21 

	 	f.	Follow the Vehicle Positioning Policy. 

  

	 	4.	Seat-Belt Usage 

 The driver and
all the passengers shall have their seat-belts fastened whenever a company vehicle is in motion. The driver is responsible for the passengers’ seat-belts being fastened. 

 

	 	5.	Emergency Situations 

  

	 	a.	In the event of a breakdown vehicles shall be parked with all wheels off the main roadway if possible. 

 

	 	b.	If you are out of vehicle, stay to the front of the disabled vehicle. Don’t get between oncoming traffic and the disabled vehicle. 

 

	 	c.	If disablement occurs within 500 feet of a curve, crest of a hill or other obstruction to view, the driver shall place the warning devices (e.g., reflective triangles)
in that direction to give traffic ample warning. Warning devices shall be placed no less than 100 feet or more than 500 feet from the disabled vehicle. When placing triangles, keep them between you and oncoming traffic to alert other drivers you are
on the roadway. 

  

	 	d.	If disablement occurs on a divided or one-way highway, the warning devices shall be placed so that one is 200 feet and another 100 feet to the rear and the third not
more than 10 feet to the rear and in no case less than 2 feet to the roadside of the widest portion of the vehicle or load. 

  

	 	e.	Drivers shall report vehicle accidents to their supervisor as soon as possible. 

 The MVC form, or the insurance form, both of which are carried in the vehicle, should be used to gather essential information at the scene of the accident. 

  
 22 

	 	f.	When a vehicle accident occurs, ensure all appropriate on-scene safety precautions are taken. These include: 

 

	 	1)	Pull off road, if possible, to avoid obstructing traffic 

  

	 	2)	Report the accident to police 

  

	 	3)	Make no admission of liability 

  

	 	4)	Gather all pertinent information 

 L. Safe
Field Maintenance Practices 
  

	 	1.	The supervisor or designated representative (Authorized Permit Issuer - API) is responsible for maintenance or construction jobs on any location or plant where an
operating crew or other crews are already at work. The API shall coordinate with the business partner supervisor or designated representative (Person Leading Workcrew - PLW) so that necessary safety precautions can be taken.

  

	 	2.	No repairs shall be made on any machinery (engines, pumps, compressors, etc.) until provisions have been made to properly depressurize/isolate the machinery. (See
Section IV - Lockout/Tagout/Blockout) This does not prevent minor adjustments from being made, such as tightening packing glands, making adjustments to fuel injectors and valve tappets by authorized personnel. 

 

	 	3.	Any trench or excavation work shall be inspected by a “competent person” (trained and demonstrates knowledge in excavation and trenching techniques) to
determine and implement shoring, bracing, and/or other requirements of the Cal-OSHA Trenching and Excavating Standard. Before trenching or excavating, care should be taken to locate and identify all underground lines, such as Underground Services
Alert, 1-800-227-2600. 

  

	 	4.	 Avoid working above or below personnel whenever possible. To avoid possible accidents to those working on a lower

  
 23 

	 	
level, all personnel shall take precautions to secure and place tools and material so they will not fall. 

 

	 	5.	The supervisor or designated representative shall examine the locale of each job where electric lines could present a hazard and shall lay out the work so that no part
of a crane and its load, power shovel, truck or its A-frame, etc., can possibly enter the 10 foot corridor of electric or communication lines. If clearance is not feasible, contact a company electrician and/or HES Specialist for proper procedures
and guidance to de-energize electrical lines as needed. 

  

	 	6.	Pressure shall be bled to a slight positive pressure (1 oz.) in a gas line before drilling into the line (except where hot taps are made through valves). Use hand
drill, air drill or drill with explosion proof motor when tapping. Vacuum lines shall be pressured to at least one-ounce positive pressure prior to and during welding and hot tapping. 

 

	 	7.	All guards and safety devices must be replaced or restored to original manufactured design prior to placing equipment back in service. 

 

	 	8.	Use proper lubricating oil in air compressors that are used to start internal combustion (I/C) engines where the air is introduced in the combustion chamber. Consult
your supervisor for the proper lubrication. 

 M. Tank/Vessel Opening Procedure 

This procedure should be used for all tank/vessel openings for inspection, cleaning, repairs, and modifications whether or not entry is
anticipated. The procedure describes the general steps involved. The supervisor or designated representative (Authorized Permit Issuer - API) shall determine the specific details for each step of the procedure for a particular facility based on the
unique design, construction and operation of that facility. The following steps should be performed in sequence. 

  
 24 

	 	1.	PRE-PLANNING 

 Before beginning
the job, the supervisor or designated representative (API) will inspect the facility containing the tank/vessel to be opened. The API will determine the special equipment required and any special safeguards to be used. The API will then prepare a
GENERAL WORK PERMIT and arrange for any special equipment to be used. These steps must be done in communication with the Person Leading Workcrew (PLW). 
  

	 	2.	AREA ISOLATION 

 The API and PLW
of the job will inspect the area around the tank/vessel (usually 50 feet) to identify possible sources of ignition and paths of entry for unauthorized people or vehicles. All sources of ignition should be removed from the area (all personnel should
leave smoking material outside the area, even if not in use). All roads and pathways should be barricaded, roped off, etc., and designated as DANGER — DO NOT ENTER WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION. 

 

	 	3.	SHUTDOWN AND DRAIN 

 The facility
should be shut down using normal procedures. Be certain the area to receive the drained/vented material is free of potential ignition sources and personnel before opening the drains and vents. Drains and valves on vents should be opened to
depressurize the equipment and remove as much material as possible. The tank/vessel should not be unbolted and opened at this time. Water flushing through the normal piping may be used to remove additional material. If a vacuum truck is used for
draining, be certain the truck is grounded and also bonded to the tank/vessel. 
  

	 	4.	SAFETY MEETING 

 The Person
Leading Workcrew (PLW) must hold a tailgate safety meeting with all personnel involved in the job and document it. The Authorized Permit Issuer (API) must also 

  
 25 

 
attend this tailgate meeting. The meeting should adequately explain the following items: 
  

	 	a.	The steps involved in the job 

  

	 	b.	Potential hazards and safeguards to control the hazards 

  

	 	c.	Special personal protective equipment to be used 

  

	 	d.	Gas testing requirements 

  

	 	e.	Availability of lire fighting equipment and its use 

  

	 	f.	The need for, responsibilities, duties, and training of entry supervisor (PLW), entrants, attendants (standbys), fire watches, etc. 

 

	 	g.	Emergency and rescue procedures 

  

	 	5.	EQUIPMENT ISOLATION 

 Implement
all required hydraulic, electrical, mechanical and pneumatic isolation (see Section IV. Lockout/Tagout/ Blockout). Double-check that all lines, electrical and mechanical equipment have been isolated by approved methods. Where available, an isolation
checklist and/or Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) should be used to assure completed isolation methods. 
  

	 	6.	VENTILATION 

 Open the
tank/vessel at a minimum of two locations, air intake and exhaust. Set up an appropriately rated ventilator. Ensure the ventilator is grounded (bonded) to the tank/vessel prior to purging. Duct the exhaust to a safe area before starting ventilation.
Continue to ventilate until the vapor in the tank/ vessel tests below 10% LEL (0% preferred). Continuously monitor and ventilate to maintain less than 10% LEL during work. Monitor for appropriate toxics and maintain their concentrations below the
PEL.Test for appropriate 

  
 26 

	 	7.	OPEN TANK/VESSEL 

 Open the
tank/vessel and prepare to perform job. If tank/ vessel entry is necessary, a CONFINED SPACE ENTRY PERMIT is required; (contact Authorized Permit Issuer), All conditions on the CONFINED SPACE ENTRY PERMIT must be satisfied before personnel enter the
tank/vessel. If hot work is necessary, a HOT WORK PERMIT is also required (contact Authorized Permit Issuer). Provide for temporary cover of openings if unattended. 
  

	 	8.	CLOSE TANK/VESSEL AND REMOVE ISOLATION 

 When the work has been completed on the tank/vessel, close the equipment and remove unnecessary tools. Remove the isolation (blinds, misaligned piping, locked/closed valves, double block and bleeds,
lockout/tagout, etc.). Refill and pressurize equipment carefully. Check for leaks and correct any deficiencies. Both the API and PLW must sign off on Return To Work section of Permits. 

 

	 	9.	START UP 

 If API is not facility
operator, call facility operator for startup using normal procedures. 
 N. Job Safety Analysis 

Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is a systematic method that is used to identify the hazards or potential accidents associated with each step of
the job and that is used to develop solutions that will eliminate, nullify, or prevent such hazards. 
 There are four basic
steps involved in completing a JSA: 
  

	 	1)	Select the job to be analyzed. 

  

	 	2)	Break the job down into steps. 

  

	 	3)	Identify the hazards or potential accidents. 

  
 27 

	 	4)	Develop solutions for the potential accidents. 

 JSAs should be performed for all non-routine jobs and for any routine job with identified hazards. 
 The JSA should be performed on-site immediately prior to beginning work and should include all personnel who will take part in the job. 

An existing JSA may be reviewed prior to starting a job (including discussion of site-specific issues such as weather, facility condition,
etc.) in lieu of generating a new JSA. 
 Utilize meet and greet practiceocess to review the site hazards with visitors.

 Section III — Permitting 
 A. General Work Permit Requirements 
  

	 	1.	The Authorized Permit Issuer (API) shall prepare a GENERAL WORK PERMIT which gives special instructions, precautions, and procedures to be followed when preparing for a
job, during a job and after a job. A GENERAL WORK PERMIT is not a hot work (fire) permit or confined space entry permit. If hot work or entry into tanks, vessels or other enclosed or confined spaces is necessary, then these additional permits are
also required. 

  

	 	2.	A time limit shall be established on the GENERAL WORK PERMIT by the parties concerned. The nature of the work, probable duration, possible hazards and feasible means of
maintaining effective controls must be considered first. If the time limits established on the original permit must be exceeded, extension of the permit may be approved by the Authorized Permit Issuer (API). 

GENERAL WORK PERMIT is required for all maintenance operations (excluding routine lubrication, adjustments, and calibration, unless
required by local plant rules). A GENERAL WORK PERMIT is required for, but not limited to, the following jobs: 
  

	 	a.	Hot Work 

  

	 	b.	Confined Space Entry preparation for entering into any piece of equipment, vessel, tank or other confined space and its associated flushing, purging, opening, blinding,
cleaning, ventilation, etc 

  

	 	c.	Vehicle entry into classified hazardous areas subject to the release of hydrocarbon vapors, such as bermed tank settings and gas plants 

 

	 	d.	Work on H2S gas or chemical system 

  

	 	e.	 Work performed within gas plants, on natural gas 

  
 30 

	 	
handling systems, urban sites, platforms, field booster buildings, etc 

  

	 	f.	Excavations deeper than five feet 

  

	 	g.	Wherever maintenance or troubleshooting is performed within a designated Chemical Handling area for acids, caustics, ammonia, chlorine, etc. 

 

	 	h.	Vehicles or vehicles with loads in excess of 14’ vertical 

 B. Hot Work Requirements and Permits 
  

	 	1.	A Hot Work Permit is required before beginning any work that could generate a source of ignition in an area where flammable gases or combustible material may be
present. 

 Possible ignition sources include: 

 

	 	a.	Fixed and portable lights. 

  

	 	b.	Welding, burning or soldering. 

  

	 	c.	Sparks from power tools, grinding. 

  

	 	d.	Electric equipment not approved for hazardous areas. 

  

	 	e.	Motorized equipment used in process areas and areas where vapors may accumulate. 

 

	 	f.	Smoking. A hot work permit does not allow smoking. 

  

	 	g.	Exposing pyrophoric (metallic sulfides) material to air. 

  

	 	h.	Explosive/chemical fire hazards. 

  

	 	i.	Static electricity from sprayer, sandblasters, etc. 

  

	 	2.	All Hot Work Permits shall be issued by the appropriate Authorized Permit Issuer. 

 

	 	3.	 The work location must be at a safe distance (normally fifty 

  
 31 

	 	
feet) from any sources of combustible or flammable liquids, gases or vapors. Drains and underground vents must be sealed or sandbagged. 

 

	 	4/	Gas testing with a combustible gas detector must be conducted prior to any hot work. Follow-up testing (usually continuous) is required at sufficient intervals to
ensure that any change of condition will be detected. This interval must be specified on the Hot Work Permit. Hot Work is not permitted where there is a gas or vapor concentration greater than 10% LEL. 

 

	 	5.	Suitable fire extinguishing equipment must be readily available to employees or business partners working in the area. 

 

	 	6.	Each permit must specify the starting and expiration time of the permit and limits of the area for which it is issued. Permit extensions require authorization by the
Authorized Permit Issuer (API). 

  

	 	7.	Upon completion of the Hot Work, steps shall be taken to assure the area is clear of hot sparks, etc. The area must be inspected a minimum of 30 minutes after the
ignition source has stopped. 

  

	 	8.	A fire watch is required for welding, burning, open flame, soldering and grinding activities. The fire watch must not have any other duties while the Hot Work is in
progress. 

 C. Confined Space Entry Permit 
 CONFINED SPACE ENTRY PERMITS are required prior to entry into any confined space such as: water softeners, tanks, steam generators, sumps, valve boxes, casing collection equipment, locations deeper than 5
feet, vessels, heater treaters, oil and gas separators, gasoline plant towers, or other equipment or spaces (such as well cellars, mud pits) where a toxic atmosphere may be present, or access or egress for suddenly disabled employees would be
impeded. The confined space Entry Permit must be posted at the confined space during the Work-in-Progress stage. 

  
 32 

	 	1.	A sign/tag reading “Danger Permit Required Confined Space, Do Not Enter” or similar wording shall be affixed at each opening when: 

 

	 	a.	It is not safe to enter 

  

	 	b.	Prior to issuance of a CONFINED SPACE ENTRY PERMIT 

  

	 	c.	At the end of a shift when the space is not closed/ returned to service, or when an unsafe condition arises and the CONFINED SPACE Entry Permit tag is removed.

  

	 	2.	Air testing inside the space shall be conducted before entry and at sufficient intervals (no greater than 30 minutes) to ensure the atmosphere remains free of flammable
hydrocarbons, toxins, and/or oxygen deficiency. 

  

	 	3.	Portable powered equipment, e.g., engines, motors, pumps, etc., should be located outside the space at a safe distance so as not to create a potential ignition source
during gas/vapor freeing and so their exhaust or flammable vapors arc not pulled inside the space. 

  

	 	4.	If an unsafe condition arises or an emergency occurs at the facility, all persons inside shall exit the space immediately, and the CONFINED SPACE ENTRY PERMIT tag shall
be removed. Each CONFINED SPACE ENTRY PERMIT must specify the starting and expiration time. Permit extension requires authorization by the Authorized Permit Issuer (API). 

 

	 	5.	Any time the job site will be left unattended the space must be secured to prevent entry. The CONFINED SPACE ENTRY PERMIT shall be removed and replaced by “Danger
Permit Required Confined Space, Do Not Enter” or similar wording tags. A new CONFINED SPACE ENTRY PERMIT and air testing is required before resuming work. 

 

	 	6.	 Persons working in spaces which last contained substances that are corrosive or can be absorbed through the skin shall

  
 33 

	 	
wear impervious protective clothing as specified by the permit API and PLW. 

  

	 	7.	Only lighting and electrical equipment that have been approved for the area electrical classification shall be used. In addition, to minimize shock hazards, such
lighting and equipment shall be operated at 12 volts, or less, or be protected by an approved ground fault circuit interrupter, 

  

	 	8.	Some type of warning device, e.g., megaphone, air/car horn, radio, etc., shall be available immediately outside the space to summon assistance if the need arises. This
requirement may be waived by the API/PLW if there will be ample people in the area in case an emergency arises. 

  

	 	9.	If welding fumes or other hazardous atmospheres are present inside or if the temperature in the space exceeds 100° F, the space must be ventilated by an eductor or
blower capable of maintaining a continuous flow of air across the breathing zone of all personnel working in the space. The eductor or blower should be mounted and grounded/bonded on the roof or as near the top of the space as possible to maximize
ventilation. Means should be taken to reduce vibration noise caused by the eductor setting on metal surface, i.e., bolting it to a flange. 

  

	 	10.	Personnel entry should be through side openings whenever possible. Side openings are those less than 3-1/2 feet above the inside working surface.

  

	 	11.	Whenever entry requires the wearing of respiratory protection, is through a top opening, or a side opening greater than 3-1/2 feet above the inside working surface,
persons entering shall wear a safety harness with an attached lifeline unless internal parts of the confined space will present a greater hazard. The harness shall be the type capable of suspending a person in the upright position. Wristlets shall
not be used. 

 The lifeline shall be a rope of a minimum 1/2-inch diameter and 5,400-pound test with the free end
anchored outside the space. For top entry, a manual hoisting device or other effective means shall be provided for lifting persons out of 

  
 34 

 
the space. The lifeline shall be attached to the safety harness at a suitable point so that when rescued, the entrant presents the smallest possible profile (for example, at the center of the
entrant’s back near shoulder level, or above the entrant’s head). 
  

	 	12.	The lifeline requirement may be waived if the configuration inside the space is such that the lifeline could become tangled and hinder rescue. This waiver can be
granted only by the Authorized Permit Issuer and Person Leading Work crew (specified on permit). 

  

	 	13.	An attendant (standby) person is always required when entry is to be made into a space requiring a CONFINED SPACE ENTRY PERMIT. 

 

	 	14.	As required, the following tests shall be conducted prior to approving the CONFINED SPACE ENTRY PERMIT and entry shall be limited by the following:

  

	 	a.	OXYGEN 

 Safe Entry Level:
minimum 19.5% oxygen without SABA (Supplied Air Breathing Apparatus) to 23.5%. SABA required 16.5% to 19.5% oxygen. No entry allowed less than 16.5% or greater than 23.5% oxygen. 

 

	 	b.	FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE VAPORS 

Safe Entry Level: 0% Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) without respiratory protection. Entry is allowed at <10% LEL only with the permission
of the API and Person Leading Workcrew and SABA must be worn (an organic cartridge respirator may be worn at LEL levels less than 2% in lieu of SABA). No entry is allowed above 10% of LEL. 

 

	 	c.	HYDROGEN SULFIDE (H2S) 

 Safe
Entry Level: <10 ppm without SABA. SABA required at 10-300 ppm. No entry allowed >300 ppm. 
  

	 	d.	 LIGHT HYDROCARBON INHALATION EXPOSURE (GASOLINE-LIKE VAPORS) 

  
 35 

	 	
Safe Entry Level: maximum of 1,000 ppm with organic cartridge respirator. >1,000 ppm requires SABA. For gasoline 1,000 ppm = 2% LEL. 

 

	 	e.	TEMPERATURE 

 Safe Entry Level:
100° F or less inside the space unless ventilation is provided to cool employees and time in the space is limited to not more than 30-minute periods (with 15-minute breaks in between). No entry is allowed at 110°F or above. 

 

	 	f.	OTHER TOXIC/COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS Lead compounds, carbon monoxide, benzene, aromatics, pyrophoric iron, radiation, etc., can be present in the space. The Authorized
Permit Issuer and Person Leading Work crew shall identify all other known or suspected toxins, combustible materials, chemicals, etc., that may be encountered in the space prior to commencement of job. Contact the HES department to determine
acceptable testing methods, entry limitations and precautions necessary for entry. 

 D. Gas/Vapor Freeing 

Once positive methods of isolation have been performed, pipelines, equipment, vessels, tanks, etc., should be freed of flammable or
hazardous vapors before other work is undertaken. Gas/Vapor freeing results in replacement of contained hydrocarbon vapors with fresh or inert air. During the initial stages of gas/vapor freeing, other work in the area should be kept to a minimum.
The primary consideration in gas/vapor freeing is the disposal of displaced vapor to minimize the possibility of a hazardous condition in the surrounding area. Effective disposal and the precautions required depend to a large extent on whether
vapors are to be displaced by mechanical or natural ventilation. 
  

	 	1.	Mechanical Ventilation 

 Several
methods of mechanical ventilation are quick and are considered safe for medium to large vessels and tanks. Vapors may be drawn from top manways by eductors or fans, or air 

  
 36 

 
may be forced through bottom shell manways by air, steam or electric-motor-driven fans suitable for hazardous locations. In each case, the air mover should be electrically bonded to the tank.

  

	 	2.	Natural Ventilation 

 This is the
least safe method of ventilation and can require excessive time to remove hydrocarbon vapors from the tank/ vessel. This method should only be used on small vessels/ tanks when entry is prohibited and on relatively windy days. Since the direction
and velocity of vapor leaving the vessel/ tank cannot be controlled, the area around the vessel/tank must be clear of ignition sources and personnel. 
 E. Gas Testing 
 Before any work can be performed in an area where general
work permits, hot work permits, and/or confined space entry permits are required, gas testing is required to establish that the area is free of flammable or toxic vapors and that sufficient oxygen is present. 

 

	 	1.	All gas testing shall be performed by qualified personnel experienced in gas testing and the use of the instrument being used to conduct the test, Gas test instruments
are available in various makes and models, each with unique design characteristics, intrinsically safe expressed functions, operating procedures and limitations. Due to the sensitivity of atmospheric testing and the importance of accurate
measurements, it is imperative that personnel be totally familiar with the instrument prior to actual use. 

  

	 	2.	Only after the area has been established as “safe” can permits (general work, hot work, confined space) be approved by the Authorized Permit Issuer and Person
Leading Work crew. 

  

	 	3.	If necessary a qualified gas tester shall be stationed on the job, particularly if the operations are such that “safe” conditions are subject to change. Gas
testing must continue during the operations in these instances. 

  
 37 

	 	4.	If conditions become “unsafe” (indicated by gas tests), all persons must be cleared of the area and a report made to the Authorized Permit Issuer immediately.
No one should be permitted to re-enter until the area is determined “safe” (refer to the SJVBU H2S Alarm Response Guideline). 

  

	 	5.	Gas test equipment shall receive routine maintenance and calibration as required by the manufacturer’s guidelines, (at least monthly). 

F. Reclassification to Non-Permit Confined Space 
 Reclassification is allowed when gas testing and isolation confirm the absence of a potential hazardous atmosphere. 

  
 38 

 Section IV— Lockout/Tagout/Blockout 
 The purpose of the established lockout/tagout/blockout (LO/TO/BO) procedure is to prevent the unexpected release of hazardous energy such as, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic or mechanical. 

A. Area Isolation 
 Area
isolation (typically 50 to 150 feet) is required surrounding the maintenance activity to assure no entry by unauthorized personnel or vehicles. Area isolation is accomplished by road barricades, warning signs, posting guards, roping off areas, etc.

 B. Hydraulic Isolation 
 Hydraulic isolation is required to prevent liquid and gas from entering a pipeline, piece of equipment, vessel or tank during maintenance work. Failure to isolate could result in activating equipment or
introducing flammable or toxic materials. 
  

	 	1.	Before the piping, equipment, vessels or tanks are isolated, and all residual product should be pumped or drained to the lowest possible level through the water draw or
pump out connection. This pumping or draining may be augmented by the addition of water through existing piping connections for the purpose of floating out any remaining products. 

 

	 	2.	After all possible residual material has been removed, all piping connected to the equipment including steam, foam and similar lines — should be isolated as close
to the equipment, vessel or tank as possible to prevent the entrance of hydrocarbon vapors or liquids from the lines. 

  

	 	3.	Acceptable positive methods of hydraulic isolation include blocking, blinding, double block and bleed, or disconnect and misaligning the piping.

  

	 	4.	 During compressor maintenance/repair, continuous monitoring must be provided for combustible vapor seepage past closed

  
 39 

	 	
valves and work must be stopped if seepage is detected. 

  

	 	5.	Expandable pipeline plugs and butterfly valves are not acceptable hydraulic isolation. 

 

	 	6.	If the piping configuration does not allow the use of acceptable hydraulic isolation methods, the procedure used must be approved in writing by the Operations
Supervisor. 

  

	 	7.	DANGER DO NOT OPERATE tags and locks shall be attached to valves and misaligned piping used for isolation. The attachment device shall be of a non-reusable type,
attachable by hand, self-locking, and non-releasable with a minimum unlocking strength of no less than 50 pounds. 

 C.
Electrical Isolation 
 Electrical isolation is required to prevent ignition sources and unintentional operation of mixers,
blenders, agitators, etc. If equipment, vessels or tanks are cathodically protected, shut off and lockout rectifier current, allow current to bleed off, and a bond wire shall be used when disconnecting pipe flanges. If radioactive level gauges or
similar instruments are present, they must be removed or shielded. DANGER DO NOT OPERATE tags and locks must be used when electrical lockout and disconnects are made. 
  

	 	1.	Electrical Disconnect - A physical disconnect is necessary whenever electrically or pneumatically power driven equipment is not equipped with lockable controls, or is
not adaptable to lockable controls. A physical disconnect is also required when personnel may be exposed to possible injury by moving equipment or parts. A qualified electrician must be called when it is necessary to disconnect power cables, pull
fuses or knife blade disconnects. 

  

	 	2.	Electrical Lockout - The physical locking of switches on control boxes in the off position is an acceptable safeguard only if all steps in the lock-out procedure are
followed. 

  
 40 

 D. Physical and Pneumatic Isolation 

Employees who operate, clean, service, adjust or repair machinery and equipment should be aware of the hazards associated with working
around machinery. Hazards exist any time protective guards are removed, equipment is put into an unusual position, moving machinery is adjusted, or during similar operation. Locking-out and blocking-out are the only sure ways to prevent accidental
start up or movement of machinery or equipment. DANGER DO NOT OPERATE tags shall be used with lockout and blockout. 
  

	 	1.	Lockout - placement of a padlock or similar locking device on energy sources to prevent personnel from attempting to start equipment before job is complete and safe to
do so. See Electrical Isolation above and Section VII for further information on Electrical lockout safe practices. 

  

	 	2.	Blockout - to place a device in such a way as to block (prevent) movement of machinery and equipment. 

E. Hazardous Energy Control Isolation Tags 
 Tags are used to warn personnel not to return equipment to service until all work is complete. DANGER DO NOT OPERATE tags and locks shall be installed on all valves, misaligned piping, electrical lockout
and disconnects, locked switches and controls, and blocked equipment used for isolation. 
  

	 	1.	Tags shall be clearly marked with the installer’s name, organization and the date installed. 

 

	 	2.	Tags will be color-coded to identify work discipline: 

  

					
	 Blue
	 	—	 	Craft Mechanics
			
	 Red
	 	—	 	Craft Electricians
			
	 Yellow
	 	—	 	Operators

  

	 	3.	 Tags shall only be removed by the person who installed the 

  
 41 

	 	
tag. 

  

	 	4.	The tag attachment device shall be of a non-reusable type, attachable by hand, self-locking, and non-releasable with a minimum unlocking strength of no less than 50
pounds. 

 F. Lockout Tagout Sequence 
  

	 	1.	Identify all energy sources and isolation devices, 

  

	 	2.	Communicate with affected employees. 

  

	 	3.	Shut down the equipment. 

  

	 	4.	Isolate the energy sources from the equipment. 

  

	 	5.	Lock and Tag energy isolating devices. 

  

	 	6.	Dissipate or restrain the stored energy. 

  

	 	7.	Verify equipment isolation. 

  

	 	8.	Perform repair or maintenance. 

  

	 	9.	Inspect the area and notify all affected employees. 

  

	 	10.	Remove restraints (blocks), locks and tags. 

  

	 	11.	Restore energy. 

  

	 	12.	Return equipment to normal service. 

  

	 	13.	Advise affected employees. 

 G. Operational
Information Locks & Tags 
 The purpose of Operational Information Locks & Tags is to provide information
and positive isolation pertaining to the machine/ equipment status where the unauthorized opening of a valve, or start up of equipment could cause injury to others, damage to equipment, operational upset or environmental damage. Examples include
isolating equipment before work occurs relating to the Control of Hazardous Energy or closing a valve and locking it shut after the equipment it services has been removed. 
 Operational Locks (keyed alike) and Operational Information Tags (white tags) shall be easily recognizable and different 

  
 42 

 
from those used for Hazardous Energy Control, Lockout/ Tagout Procedure (Red American Lock and colored LO/TO tags). Operational Locks can be removed by someone other than the person installing
and utilized in a variety of applications. Operational Informational Tags can be used without a lock when communicating information and the hazards are minimal. 

  
 43 

 Section V — Hazard Communication 
 A. General 
  

	 	1.	All new chemicals coming into the workplace must be evaluated through the Product Acceptance Program. Contact your supervisor for the specifics of this program.

  

	 	2.	Written program shall be available at the work location. 

  

	 	3.	Chemicals shall be handled with caution as outlined in the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and according to directions for appropriate use. Proper personal
protective equipment shall be worn by personnel working with potentially hazardous substances. 

  

	 	4.	Readily available portable or fixed eyewash stations and/or safety showers must be available in areas where chemicals are used. Report to your supervisor any area where
you believe eye wash and/or safety shower capability is needed. 

 Consult your supervisor if you are in doubt
about how to handle a specific chemical. 
 B. Labeling 
  

	 	1.	Chemical containers shall be properly labeled. The product name shall be visible on the container. Use of the HMIS, NFPA, or DOT labeling system may also be used to
identify products hazards. 

  

	 	2.	All hazardous chemical storage areas will be designated by a yellow line around the area, across walkways, edges or pipe trenches, etc. Where it is impractical to paint
yellow lines due to lack of paving, appropriately worded signs will be placed on all four sides, 10 feet from the container or storage area. No one shall enter these areas without wearing the minimum personal protective safety equipment required for
the hazard. 

  
 44 

 C. Training 
 Training to acquaint employees with the potential hazards associated with materials in the workplace and the safe methods of working with them shall be conducted for current and newly hired employees.

 D. Chemical Inventory 
 A chemical inventory and MSDSs shall be readily available for chemicals handled, stored or produced at each facility or location where employees report to work. These publications include information on
health, emergency care, first aid procedures, special precautions, fire and environmental protection. MSDS also contain information on handling the chemicals and the proper personal protective equipment to wear. 

E. Solvents, Cleaning Agents, Acids and Caustics 
  

	 	1.	Personnel handling solvents, acids or caustics must wear chemical goggles, face shields, and chemical resistant gloves. When breaking lines, opening equipment, etc.,
chemical resistant suits and boots are also required. Personnel using solvents, cleaning agents, and caustics shall refer to MSDS for the material before use. 

 

	 	2.	Before working with acid or caustic facilities, personnel shall locate the safety shower and eyewash stations and ensure it is operating properly. Personnel should also
ensure that emergency services could be quickly notified in the event of an emergency as part of the worksite emergency response plan. 

  

	 	3.	When high concentration of vapors may be present, approved respiratory protection must be worn. 

  
 45 

 Section VI — General Industrial Hygiene 
 A. Hydrogen Sulfide 
  

	 	1.	 H2S monitors shall be worn by all personal, including business partners and visitors, when working in H2S designated areas. Should a personal H2S monitor alarm take the following actions: 

 

	 	a.	Stop what you are doing and check the wind direction at the closest windsock if available. 

 

	 	b.	Evacuate crosswind and then upwind of the suspected release. 

  

	 	2.	 H2S is an extremely toxic and irritating colorless gas, 1.2 times heavier than air, soluble in water, with the odor of rotten eggs in low concentrations. It is produced in toxic concentrations along with
crude oil, water, and gas in certain producing fields. 

  

	 	3.	 Supervisors shall arrange to periodically test for the presence of H2S in all operating facilities. The frequency of testing shall be based on the concentration of H2S, operating pressures, type of equipment and maintenance/operating
practices. All facilities containing H2S at concentrations
less than 300 ppm, shall be tested annually until a sufficient history has been developed to assure that the H2S concentrations are not increasing. An annual review of the H2S levels in the
H2S equipment listing is required, and the list must be
updated as needed. 

  

	 	4.	Training 

  

	 	a.	 All personnel working at least 1 day per week on average in H2S areas shall be trained on the hazards of H2S, approved methods for detecting and monitoring, use of self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), and emergency methods
of rescue and first aid. 

  

	 	b.	Refresher training is required annually or more frequently if necessary. 

  
 46 

	 	5.	Signage 

  

	 	a.	All facilities with equipment containing more than 300 ppm H2S and areas with 10 ppm or greater in the atmosphere, shall be posted and the equipment shall be labeled.

  

	 	1)	Entries to the property shall be posted with a sign stating “Notice — Entering Potential H2S Poisonous Gas Area.” 

 

	 	2)	All facilities having H2S in concentrations greater than 10 ppm shall be posted with a sign stating “Caution — H2S Poisonous Gas May Be Present, Continuous
Monitors Must Be Worn Beyond This Point.” Employees and business partners shall carry portable monitors. 

  

	 	3)	All equipment containing more than 300 ppm H2S shall be labeled “Danger — Deadly Levels of H2S Are In This Equipment, Supplied Air Breathing Apparatus Must Be
Worn When Opening Any Part.” 

  

	 	b.	All employees not wearing supplied air breathing apparatus shall evacuate any area when monitors alarm at 10 ppm or more in the atmosphere. 

 

	 	1)	Wind socks must be placed with maximum visibility to personnel. 

  

	 	2)	Re-entry is allowed only after verification that H2S levels are below 10 ppm. 

 

	 	6.	Equipment Access 

 The minimum
safety requirements for opening any piece of equipment containing more than 300 ppm H2S are: 
  

	 	a.	The wearing of a continuous monitor and SABA by the person opening the equipment 

  
 47 

	 	b.	At least one other SABA qualified and equipped person shall be in attendance until the equipment is open and a level lower than 10 ppm is verified. After verification
of safe working levels, the second person may be released and SABA is no longer required for the first person 

(The only exception from wearing SABA and having backup is during routine opening of sample valves 1 inch or smaller on crude storage
tanks providing a continuous monitor is used and there is no more than 10 ppm H2S in the breathing zone.) 
 B. NORM 

 

	 	1.	Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) is a low-level radiation source that may be present in scale that results from extracting oil and gas from the earth.
NORM can be found in piping, tubing, sludge pits, brine, and sand filters, salt-water disposal injection wells, and equipment. 

  

	 	2.	When scale or a thin film is present, or if NORM contamination is suspected, contact a Chevron representative to confirm whether NORM exists in the area and to receive
site-specific NORM procedures. 

  

	 	3.	Business partners and employees may be exposed to possible external or internal NORM. Limiting exposure time can control external exposure. The internal hazards occur
when airborne radioactive materials are inhaled, ingested, or enter the skin through open wounds. These hazards can be minimized by properly wearing an approved respirator, by practicing good personal hygiene, and by protecting wounds and cuts.
Wetting the loose material on clothing with water can also prevent inhalation. 

  

	 	4.	Coordinate storage of NORM-contaminated materials. 

  

	 	5.	 Contact the on-site Chevron representative to coordinate disposal with the HES Coordinator on before shipping NORM

  
 48 

	 	
for disposal. 

  

	 	6.	Only trained personnel may handle piping, equipment, junk iron or solids containing NORM. 

 C. Asbestos 
  

	 	1.	Asbestos was generally used in the past as pipe and vessel insulation, in brake pads, and on structural materials such as transit panels, floor tiles, and roofing
felts. 

  

	 	2.	It is often difficult to differentiate between asbestos and non-asbestos without laboratory equipment. 

 

	 	3	Asbestos may remain in some older facilities. 

  

	 	4.	Asbestos can be dangerous if not handled properly. Breathing asbestos dust is very hazardous. Asbestos insulation that is not damaged or friable (hand pressure can
crumble, pulverize, or reduce it to powder when it is dry) generally does not produce asbestos fibers at a dangerous level, especially on non-enclosed structures. 

 

	 	5.	To minimize health risks, it is important not to drill, cut, remove, tear, step on, brush against, hammer on, or in any way disturb suspected asbestos.

  

	 	6	If necessary to disturb any suspected asbestos, or if you notice any deterioration in the condition of the suspected asbestos, contact a Chevron representative. Only
trained personnel with proper equipment shall disturb or remove asbestos. 

 D. Benzene 

 

	 	1.	Benzene, a liquid found in most crude oil and condensate, can also be found in produced gas in a gaseous form. 

 

	 	2.	Benzene is known to cause cancer in humans, so it is important that you limit your exposure to it. 

  
 49 

	 	3.	Chevron locations that are known to have dangerous levels will be posted. 

  

	 	4.	You can reduce exposure and risk by keeping your work area and your clothing as clean as possible. Leather gloves or clothing saturated with liquid containing benzene
should be removed and cleaned or discarded to prevent prolonged skin exposure. 

 E. Lead 

 

	 	1.	Overexposure to lead can result in serious short-term (acute) or longer-term (chronic) health effects. Inorganic lead may be absorbed into the body by ingestion or
inhalation. Lead is most commonly found in paints and coatings. 

  

	 	2.	Tasks such as abrasive blasting or burning of painted surfaces probably pose the greatest potential for lead exposure. Interim protection must be used until an exposure
assessment has been done to determine whether exposures exceed the Action Level, which triggers specific monitoring, training, and medical surveillance requirements. 

 

	 	3.	Business partner companies whose workers will be exposed to lead must have a written program in place to monitor their workers’ blood-level exposure. The program
will be reviewed by Chevron before starting the project. 

 F. Heat Stress 

 

	 	1.	Drink cool water. Avoid alcohol, coffee, tea, and caffeinated soft drinks, which cause dehydration. 

 

	 	2.	Dress appropriately. Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing and change clothing if it is completely saturated. Use sunscreen. 

 

	 	3.	Work in ventilated areas. Good airflow increases evaporation of sweat, which cools the skin. 

  
 50 

	 	4.	Supervisors should assign a lighter workload and longer rest periods during days of intense heat. Short, frequent work-rest cycles are best. Longer rest periods should
be held in a cooler area. Schedule heavy work for cooler parts of the day. 

  

	 	5.	Ask how workers are feeling. 

  

	 	6.	Know the signs of heat stress and take prompt action. 

  

	 	7.	Reduce work for anyone at risk. 

 G. Fatigue

  

	 	1.	Fatigue can be a factor in incidents or risk to employees. 

  

	 	2.	When they feel fatigued, employees should notify their supervisor and handle appropriately. 

 

	 	3.	Supervisors should monitor employee activities and behavior to determine if an employee should be removed from the work site in order to obtain rest.

  
 51 

 Section VII — Electrical Safety 
 A. General 
  

	 	1.	Only qualified* and trained personnel (electricians, electrical engineers, and electrical supervisors) shall work on or alter electrical circuits, extension cords,
tools or any other type of electrical equipment. All electrical work shall conform to the NEC and any state, local, or Company approved practices. 

 *QUALIFIED PERSON - LOW VOLTAGE (0-600 VOLTS): A person, designated by the employer, who by reason of experience or instruction has demonstrated familiarity with the operation to be performed and the
hazards involved. 
 *QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL WORKER - HIGH VOLTAGE (>600 VOLTS): A qualified person who has a minimum of two
years of training and experience with high-voltage circuits and equipment and who has demonstrated by performance familiarity with the work to be performed and the hazards involved. 

 

	 	2.	When working around electrical equipment, personnel shall move deliberately to avoid accidental contact with the energized equipment. 

 

	 	3	Arc flash protection shall be worn as directed by Electrical Safety Work Practices noted in 1389a. 

 

	 	4.	 Power shall be turned off, locked out or isolated (leads removed from bottom of breaker), and tagged out before working on electrical equipment to
ensure that power cannot be accidentally restored. When working on a motor or circuit, the circuit switch/breaker must be open, then locked (if possible) and the switch properly tagged (i.e., “Danger - Do Not Operate”) to warn others that
someone is working with the equipment. Wire leads must be removed from the power source prior to working on electrical equipment and voltage checks performed. After tag-out has been completed, one should double-check to be sure that the circuit is
de-energized 

  
 52 

	 	
by pushing start button and that it cannot be re-energized by someone else. 

 The lockout/tagout policy applies when you are required to place any part of your body into an area where a danger exists during a machine operating cycle. When working on overhead power lines or voltages
above 600 volts a detailed switching plan must be implemented and utilized. Man on line tags must be installed and all switches, breakers, and other sources of energy must be tagged out and locked out. 

Lockout is the preferred procedure. Use tagout alone only when lockout is not an option; however, you must make the equipment energy free
- zero energy state. Refer to Isolation Procedures - Section IV. 
  

	 	5.	High-voltage points shall be grounded before maintenance begins. 

  

	 	6.	Extreme care shall be exercised not to touch electrical equipment while standing in water, on metal floors, damp concrete, or other well-grounded surfaces. Likewise,
electrical equipment shall not be operated while wearing wet shoes, damp clothing, or while skin surfaces are damp. 

  

	 	7.	Non-explosion proof electrical equipment or any other source of ignition should not be allowed in any area (including buildings) or facilities where the area is
classified (Division 1 or Division 2) in accordance with Recommended Practice #1 and API RP 500B without a Hot Work Permit. 

  

	 	8.	When opening and closing a breaker, the person should stand on the non-hinged side of the enclosure in the event of an explosion. 

 

	 	9.	All electrical equipment operated at greater than 600 volts must be posted with DANGER - HIGH VOLTAGE signs. 

 

	 	10.	Do not wear rings, watches, bracelets, necklaces, etc., while working on electrical equipment. 

  
 53 

 B. Electrical Power Tools 

 

	 	1.	Power tools must be grounded or double insulated. Personnel shall make sure that all portable power tools not double insulated are equipped with a three-wire, grounded
conductor cord and that the three-pronged plug makes effective contact with the service outlet. The grounded conductor shall be mechanically secured to the frame of the electric tool and to the grounding pin of the plug and contained in the same
jacket as the two power conductors. Be certain every service outlet is grounded before using. 

  

	 	2.	Most portable electrical tools contain a motor which, when running makes sparks hot enough to ignite a methane-air mixture. Electrical tools shall not be used where gas
or fuel vapors may exist, unless the tool is approved by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory for the area classification. In using these types of electrical tools, the same precautions must be taken as are taken during normal operations.
Pneumatic tools may generally be used where flammable gases or vapors are present. If possible, use safety low voltage equipment when working in damp or wet locations. All portable electrical tools must be GFCI protected. Approved portable GFCI
devices are also permitted. 

  

	 	3.	Double-insulated tools are designed so that the inner electrical parts are isolated physically and electrically from the outer housing. The housing in non-conductive.
Particles of dirt and other foreign matter from tool use may enter the housing through the cooling vents and become lodged between the two shells thereby increasing the risk of electrical shock. 

 

	 	a.	Double-insulated tools and equipment should be inspected and tested the same way as any other piece of electrical equipment. 

 

	 	b.	Double-insulation does not protect against defects in the cord, plug, and receptacle. 

  
 54 

 C. Extension Cords 
  

	 	1.	Extension cords are designed for and will be used for ONLY TEMPORARY USE (less than 60 days). These cords must be marked for extra hard usage. All other electrical
connections will be made permanent by proper construction methods. 

  

	 	2.	Extension cords shall not exceed 50 feet in length. Cords longer than 50 feet shall be constructed by or approved by qualified electrical personnel. All extension cords
shall include a grounding conductor within the cable jacket and shall be equipped at each end with either explosion-proof or non-explosion-proof three-wire, grounded receptacles and plugs (but not with one of each), depending on the location and
intended use. (No “hybrid,” ungrounded or external ground wire extension cords are allowed.) 

  

	 	3.	If a cord is damaged, it shall be replaced or shortened by an electrician – never patched with electrical tape. 

 

	 	4.	Cords shall be protected against contact with oil, hot surfaces and chemicals. 

 

	 	5.	Cords should not be hung over nails or other sharp edges or placed where vehicles may run over them. Cords shall not be run through door or window openings that can be
closed. 

  

	 	6.	Adapter cords, often referred to as cheater cords, should be provided to incorporate an explosion-proof plug on one end and a three-wire grounding type receptacle on
the other. The non-explosion-proof receptacle must be of the locking type or means must be provided so that it cannot be accidentally disconnected. These cords should be yellow and it is preferred that the plug be metal. They should be no longer
than two feet in length. 

 D. Electrical Fuses 

 

	 	1.	 Only qualified personnel shall replace fuses. Blown fuses shall not be replaced with fuses having a higher amperage or lower voltage rating. Fuses
shall be replaced in kind to maintain 

  
 55 

	 	
proper circuit protection. A fuse puller shall be used to remove fuses. 

  

	 	2.	Bridging of fuses or circumventing the normal operation of circuit breakers is prohibited. 

 

	 	3.	Circuits should be de-energized before attempting to replace fuses. 

 E. Static Electricity 
  

	 	1.	Tanks storing hydrocarbon products should not be splash filled. Overhead fill lines should have down spouts extending to the bottom of the tank. Any filter screen
should be placed well forward of the outlet to permit the charge to dissipate before reaching the tank. Tank must be bonded to earth ground. 

  

	 	2.	Trucks, barges and tanks shall be electrically bonded to the loading or unloading lines before hoses are hooked up and hatch covers are opened. Reinforcing wire in
hoses must be bonded to nozzles. Damaged hoses should not be used. 

  

	 	3.	Vacuum trucks shall be bonded to tanks or vessel with a static line before any loading or emptying starts. 

 

	 	4.	If steam is used to clean oil storage tanks and separators, nozzles shall be bonded to the tank. 

 

	 	5.	Sandblasting nozzles should be bonded electrically to vessels being blasted. 

 

	 	6.	Plastic buckets shall not be used to collect hydrocarbons. A metal bucket with a metal handle can be used provided the handle of the bucket does not have a plastic or
wood grip. The metal bucket must be in contact with the dispensing valve during filling, or a bond wire be installed between the two. (The plastic or wood grip prevents the bucket from being bonded to the valve or other metal parts and static
charges generated cannot dissipate.) 

  

	 	7.	 Conductive type hoses shall be used in all loading or unloading 

  
 56 

	 	
operations in conjunction with a bond wire for hydrocarbon service. 

  

	 	8.	Fuel trucks shall be grounded to fuel tank carrier prior to filling fuel tank. 

 F. Overhead Powerline Policy (OPP) 
 The Chevron SJVBU Overhead Powerline
Policy applies to all overhead conductors, regardless of voltage and requires areas to: 
  

	 	1.	Ensure employees are not placed in proximity to Overhead Powerlines. Proximity is defined as within 10 feet up to 50 kilovolts, and 4 inches for every 10 thousand
volts above 50 kilovolts. 

  

	 	2.	Inform employees of the hazards and precautions when working near Overhead lines. 

 

	 	3.	Post warning decals on cranes and similar equipment regarding 10-foot minimum clearance. 

 

	 	4.	Ensure that when equipment is working within the proximity of overhead lines a ‘spotter’ is designated and observes for safe working clearances around all
overhead lines and directs the operator accordingly. 

  

	 	5.	Use warning cones as visible indicators of the Chevron 10-foot safety zone when working within the proximity of overhead powerlines. 

Note: “Working within the proximity” is defined as working within a distance from any OPL which is less than
combined height of the lifting device, the associated had length, and the required minimum clearance distance (as define in Item #1., above). 

  
 57 

 Required Clearance = Lift Equipment Height + Load Length + At Least 10
feet 
  

	 	6.	Notify the local area Electrical Shop at least 24 hours before any work begins which requires the local area Electrical Shop to identify voltages and clearances, or
de-energize, apply safety grounds, or relocate lines. 

  

	 	7.	Vehicles or vehicles with loads in excess of 14’ vertical should refer to Section III A 2. h. 

 

	 	8.	For more detailed information, please refer to Safety Manual SJVBU OPP. 

  
 58 

 Section VIII — Tools and Equipment Usage 

A. General Hand Tool Practices 
  

	 	1.	Do not use damaged or modified tools. 

  

	 	2.	Do not use defective tools. The employee should inspect tools before use to determine if they are the proper size and in good condition. If they are not in good
condition, the employee shall take the appropriate steps to correct the defect including replacement. 

  

	 	3.	Do not carry sharp tools in pockets. 

  

	 	4.	Upon completion of a job, tools should be cleaned, and returned to the toolbox or storage area. 

 

	 	5.	Wrenches shall have a good bite before pressure is applied. Brace yourself by placing your body in the proper position so that in case the tool slips you will not fall.
Make sure hands and fingers have sufficient clearance in the event the tool slips. When possible pull on a wrench. 

  

	 	6.	Never use a wrench as a hammer. 

  

	 	7.	Never use a tool with a “mushroom” head. 

  

	 	8.	Never use a screwdriver for a chisel. 

  

	 	9.	Pressure equipment such as grease guns, paint and garden sprayers shall be directed away from the body and other personnel in the area. The person operating any
equipment such as this, which has a potential for eye injury shall wear protective eyewear. 

  

	 	10.	All utility air shall be regulated to maintain maximum allowable working pressures of the equipment being used. 

B. Engineered Extensions (Snipes) 
  

	 	1.	 Employees using extensions shall exercise care and judgment, 

  
 59 

	 	
making sure that both extension and wrench are suitable for the job at hand. 

  

	 	2.	Extensions shall not be used on spanner/crescent wrenches. 

  

	 	3.	Extensions shall be less than twice the length of the wrench handle and shall lit the wrench handle closely over its entire length. 

 

	 	4.	Employees shall not stand, jump, or jerk on tools or extensions when breaking or making up connections. 

C. Ladders 
  

	 	1.	Before using a ladder, visually inspect it; a defective ladder shall not be used and shall be removed from service and tagged, “Caution - Do Not Use.” Replace
ladder with one in safe condition. 

  

	 	2.	When ascending or descending, always face the ladder and have both hands free for climbing. Tools should be carried in a belt or raised/lowered by rope.

  

	 	3.	When working on or near electrical equipment, never use metal ladders. 

  

	 	4.	Ladders shall be set at the correct angle. The base should be out one-fourth the distance of the height and never less than 3 feet from the wall or structure.

  

	 	5.	Ladders shall be on a firm base and against a non-moving object. Single and extension ladders should be equipped with anti-slip safety feet, extend 3 feet above the top
support, and be tied off to prevent slipping. Someone should steady the ladder, if needed. 

  

	 	6.	When working from a ladder, both feet should be kept on the rungs. 

  

	 	7.	Long reaches should be avoided; move the ladder first so as to keep hips between the ladder side rails. 

  
 60 

	 	8.	Never climb a single or extension ladder higher than the third rung from the top (second rung from the top on step ladders). 

 

	 	9.	Wood ladders shall not be painted. Paint covers cracks and other defects. 

  

	 	10.	Do not use ladders as scaffolding components. Staging ladders should be clamped to the scaffold. 

 

	 	11.	Allow only one person at a time on ladders. 

  

	 	12.	Never place a ladder in front of a door unless the door is locked, blocked, or guarded.

 Section IX — Miscellaneous Production Equipment Safety 

A. Fired Equipment 
  

	 	1.	Fired equipment is to be started only by trained, authorized personnel. 

  

	 	2.	Thoroughly purge (he firebox before attempting to light fired equipment (treated, line heater, boiler, steam generator). Open all dampers that may be on stacks, burners
or pilots. Check fuel supply and be sure that it is available at the proper pressure. Make sure there is no condensate in the fuel line by opening the appropriate bleed valve(s). Check to see that all burner fuel valves are closed. If there is no
purge system, allow at least ten minutes airing time. 

  

	 	3.	Activate pilot phase. When pilot is lit, open main burner valve slowly. 

  

	 	4.	If it is necessary to shut off the burners after fuel valves have been opened, the firebox must again be thoroughly purged before attempting to relight the heater.

  

	 	5.	Flame arrestors shall be cleaned and inspected annually. 

 B. Pressure Gauges 
  

	 	1.	Gauges shall never be installed directly into a tap in a vessel or line. They shall be installed into a valve which has been installed into the tap. Special gauge
valves with bleed ports are preferred. 

  

	 	2.	Pressure gauges shall be equipped with safety plugs or safety backs. 

  

	 	3.	Pressure gauges should never be tightened or loosened while gauge is under pressure. Never service a pressure gauge under pressure. Always isolate gauge from pressure
source. 

  

	 	4.	 Where the service permits, install a restricting orifice of 

  
 62 

	 	
1/8-inch size under all pressure gauges. 

 C. Pressurized Cylinders

  

	 	1.	Slings, ropes or chains shall not be used to lift a cylinder. Cylinders shall not be lifted by caps, and caps shall be in place when cylinders are not in use.

  

	 	2.	Compressed gas cylinders shall not be stored near highly flammable substances such as oil, gasoline or chemicals. Cylinders shall not be placed where they might become
a part of an electric circuit. Cylinders shall not be subjected to a temperature above 125° Fahrenheit, subjected to an open flame, and/or exposed to areas where heavy equipment is being moved. 

 

	 	3.	Keep the cylinder valve closed at all times, except when the cylinder is in active use. Open cylinder valves slowly with valve pointing away from personnel.

  

	 	4.	Compressed gas cylinders shall not be used as rollers, supports or for any other purpose other than to contain the content as received. Hand trucks shall be used to
move cylinders, if possible, to prevent sliding or dragging. 

  

	 	5.	Compressed gas shall never be used to remove dust from clothing, as this may cause serious injury to the eyes or body or create a fire hazard. 

 

	 	6.	No cylinders shall be used which have been defaced or had any markings, labels, decals, tags or stencil marks removed which are used for identification by supplier.

  

	 	7.	Regulators, gauges, hoses or other appliances provided for use with a particular gas or group of gases shall not be used on cylinders containing gases having different
properties. Properly fitted and recommended wrenches shall be used with cylinder valve accessories. 

  

	 	8.	All cylinders shall be secured in the upright position to prevent them from being knocked over or damaged. 

  
 63 

	 	9.	Oxygen and Acetylene 

  

	 	a.	Oxygen cylinders should be stored in shaded areas. Before moving cylinders, make sure the valve protector cap is securely in place. The protector cap shall be in place
when cylinders are not being used. 

  

	 	b.	Oxygen supports combustion. It will not burn. When oxygen comes in contact with oil or grease, a spontaneous explosion and fire is likely to occur. Keep oxygen and
hydrocarbons separated. For example, never lubricate or allow oil or grease to get on oxygen connections; never use oxygen in place of compressed air or as a source of pressure. 

 

	 	c.	Acetylene cylinders should always be used and stored in an upright position to prevent the acetone (a stabilizing agent) from draining into the valves or fittings. All
acetylene bottles that have been transported on their side or laid down for other reasons should be allowed to sit upright for 15 minutes prior to use to redistribute the stabilizing agent. Acetylene should never be used at a hose pressure exceeding
15 pounds per square inch gauge). Above 15 psig, acetylene is extremely unstable, and the possibility of an explosion exists. 

  

	 	d.	Oxygen and acetylene cylinders in storage shall be at least 20 feet apart or if stored together shall be separated by a metal wall, 5 feet high, 1/4 inch thick, and as
wide as the storage rack. 

  

	 	e.	Do not use copper tubing in acetylene service. If steel tubing is used, it must be grounded. 

 D. Pressurized Production Equipment 
  

	 	1.	Pressure should be bled off before tightening threaded or flanged connections. 

 

	 	2.	 Pressure should be bled off from any line, vessel, engine 

  
 64 

	 	
cylinder, wellhead equipment and other producing equipment before starting repair work. (Hot tapping is an exception.) Extreme care should be exercised to ensure that the pressure has been bled
off. Generally speaking, this can be accomplished by the following preferred order: 

  

	 	a.	Locate and open other bleed sources to the equipment 

  

	 	b.	Unbolt flanges carefully by loosening nuts (furthest away) and separating flanges before removing the nuts 

 

	 	c.	Unscrew threads slowly and shake them as they are turned 

 Hot tapping may also be used in lieu of b. and c. 
  

	 	3.	Personnel shall stand to one side and away from possible flow direction as flanges are parted and fittings removed. 

 

	 	4.	Bleed lines shall be securely anchored to prevent movement. 

  

	 	5.	In bleeding down flow lines where the formation of hydrates is a possibility, allow sufficient time for the ice plugs to thaw before starting work on the line.

  

	 	6.	Valves controlling bleed operations shall be opened or closed slowly. 

  

	 	7.	Before blowing down gas lines or drip pots, it shall be determined by the person performing the work that the area is free from ignition sources.

  

	 	8.	Neither lines nor fittings under pressure shall be hammered. 

  

	 	9.	When re-pressurizing lines and equipment, open valves slowly. Everyone along a line or in front of the equipment should stand clear and remain so until normal operating
pressures are reached. 

  

	 	10.	When pressure testing is required, lines and vessels shall be tested with a liquid, preferably fresh (not salt) water. 

  
 65 

 E. Protecting Personnel from Hot Surfaces 

 

	 	1.	Steam at high pressure is a high-pressure gas, and all requirements for safety for high-pressure gas apply equally to steam. 

 

	 	2.	Hot surfaces having an external surface temperature 140°F and located within 7 feet vertically from floor or working level or 15 inches horizontally from floor,
Working level, stairs, ramps or fixed ladders shall be insulated or otherwise guarded against accidental contact. 

  

	 	3.	Uninsulated hot lines shall be labeled with caution signs. Steam lines can be at temperatures of over 500° F. Severe burns will result with momentary contact.
Guards shall be installed if contact is likely. 

  

	 	4.	Insulated gloves shall be worn when handling hot equipment or when working where there is a danger of hot surfaces. 

 

	 	5.	The fact that a steam line is cold is not an indication that there is no pressure on it. Pressure is to be removed before repairs or other work is done on a line or
fitting. 

  

	 	6.	 When steam is entered into a cold line, the valve should be opened slowly and care exercised to allow the line to gradually assume its working pressure
and position. Steel expands approximately  3/4
inches per 100 feet per 100° F change in temperature. Changes of 3 inches or 4 inches per 100 feet can be expected.

STOP WORK AUTHORITY 

Every Employee, Contractor and Sub-Contractor at the SJVBU Project work site has the right and responsibility to immediately stop the work of another
co-worker if the working conditions or behaviors are considered unsafe. 
 These conditions or behaviors shall be immediately brought to the
attention of the Contractor Project Manager, the Contractor Project Safety Manager, Chevron Construction Representative and the Contractor Construction Manager for resolution. Work shall be restarted with the authorization of the Chevron
Construction Superintendent, Contractor Project Manager, and the Contractor Construction Manager when the working conditions or behaviors have been corrected and it is safe to do so. 
 If anyone is discouraged from exercising the “Stop Work Authority” or are penalized for doing so, they should report this action to Sergio Hoyos

 Appendix D. Short Service Employee FAQ 

 Short Service Employee (SSE) Procedure and Frequently Asked Questions 

For Chevron SJVBU Supervisors and Business Partners 
 CNAEP Contract Addendum (SSE portion only): 
  

			
	19.00	  	Short Service Employees
		
	19.01	  	A short service employee means an individual who has been employed by CONTRACTOR for less than six (6) months or has been in a like job by CONTRACTOR for less than six
(6) months. No one person crew may be staffed by an SSE. Only one SSE is allowed on a 2-4 person crew and on crews of 5 persons or more no more than 20% may be SSEs. CONTRACTOR shall notify COMPANY of any SSEs on its crews. A qualified mentor
must be assigned to each SSE to monitor the SSE's job performance. Exceptions to the SSE policy may be made only with COMPANY’S prior approval.

 What this means: 
  

	 	•	 	 Chevron expects Business Partners (BPs) to have a short service employee process. 

 

	 	•	 	 Chevron Location Supervisors must be notified of SSEs and exceptions must be approved by the Chevron representative. 

 

	 	•	 	 A form is attached for both notification & exception purposes. BPs should retain the document. 

 

	 	•	 	 The BPs Short Service Employee process will be reviewed as part of Chevron’s safety management audit process. 

Frequently Asked Questions: 
  

	1.	What is the objective of this policy? 

 Section 19.00 Short Service Employees, is in place to ensure that personnel new to the oil and gas industry work safely, are identified, appropriately supervised, and trained in order to prevent
incidents such as injury, environmental damage or property damage. 
  

	2.	If an individual has many years of experience, but is new to the company or position, are they considered a SSE? 

No. Prior experience with the same company or different company can be applied towards meeting the six month requirement. This type of
experience could include journeymen or experience with another company in a similar job category. It is the responsibility of the Business Partner to ensure sufficient experience and craft skills. The BPs SSE process is evaluated during the safety
management audit. 
  

	3.	What if I have one man operations or single service provider? 

 If the BP has a proficiency process (either written or demonstration) that address craft skills, hazard identification and peer evaluation, then the BP employee is allowed to work individually.

  

	4.	Can individuals be released from the SSE requirements prior to six months? 

 Yes, if the business partner has a program for assessing competencies and documents that the individual has demonstrated the BPs required craft skills. The program and supporting documentation will be
subject to safety management audit review. 
  

	5.	If an individual has been employed by the BP for many years, but was recently promoted to a new position, are they considered a SSE? 

No. 
  

	6.	If an individual changes companies and then is rehired at a later date, is the person considered a SSE upon rehire? 

No. 
  

	7.	Who must be notified of the SSE? 

 The Chevron Location Supervisor, or delegate, must be notified. Delegates are listed in Table 1 below. 
  

	8.	Who will approve SSE crew exceptions (>20% SSE crews or single person SSE crews)?

	9.	What if I have a seven (7) person crew – can I “round up” and have two (2) SSEs? 

More than 20% SSE in a crew of 5 or greater requires an exception approval. Refer to item 3 and 5, above. 

 

	10.	Will notification forms & exception forms be needed? 

 Yes. Attached is the form which must be used for notification and/or exception requests. The form is available on the SJVBU Contractor Safety Management (CSM) website
http://sjvbu.Chevron.com/safety/prejob.asp. 
  

	11.	Can this be done electronically? 

 Yes. Forms can be electronically approved. For added security, individuals with SMARTBadges can add digital signatures to the documents. 

 

	12.	What if I have a large number of SSEs, for example due to a rapid expansion or due to vendors merging? 

The information can be provided in a spreadsheet format for efficiency. 

 

	13.	Can SSE notifications & exception requests be made when the SSE arrives on site? 

Notification & exception requests must be approved by the Chevron Location Supervisor prior to the SSE commencing work.

  

	14.	How often will an exception need to be re-issued? 

 An exception will not have to be re-issued. 
  

	15.	What if the SSE moves to another area? 

 The notification is good for work throughout SJVBU. 
  

	16.	If a non-SSE moves to another location, are they considered a SSE? 

 No. 
  

	17.	Who keeps the completed forms? For how long? 

 The Business Partner. Minimum until the person is off the SSE list. 
  

	18.	Who is a qualified mentor? What are the mentor’s responsibilities? 

 The Bp’s SSE Program must outline the mentor process. The mentor should have more experience than the SSE and be able to answer questions, assess and coach the SSEs safe work practices. 

 

	19.	Does the mentor have to be onsite with the SSE? 

 No. The mentor should be available to fulfill the responsibilities outlined in the BPs SSE mentor process. 
  

	20.	 What about subcontracted or
3rd party employees? 

 Chevron SJVBU BPs are required to manage their
sub-contractors in alignment with the Chevron contract, which includes Section 19.00 Short Service Employee. 

	21.	What are the visibility requirements? 

 The BP is responsible for providing the means to identify SSEs. 
  

	22.	How will compliance be tracked and monitored? 

 The Chevron safety management audit process has been modified to ensure periodic review of the BPs process. 
  

	23.	I have more questions, where do I get more answers? 

 The SJVBU Contractor Safety Management (CSM) website may have some of the answers you need. The link is listed below:

	1.0	Summary 

 This report has been prepared at
the request of Chevron Technology Ventures, LLC (CTV). The following sections evaluate special-status biological resources that may be affected by the development of a proposed solar facility. The proposed project site is located at the eastern edge
of a moderate to high density oilfield northwest of Coalinga in Fresno County, California. The potential for occurrence and the potential for significant adverse impacts on biological resources are analyzed in the following sections. In addition,
recommendations to reduce potentially significant project-related impacts are also included if deemed necessary. 
  

	2.0	Background 

  

	 	2.1	Purpose 

Biological surveys were conducted for a proposed solar facility on an approximately 200-acre parcel of land located within the west  1/2 of Section 19, Township 20 South, Range 15 East,
M.D.B. and M., northwest of Coalinga, California (Figure 2.1). The purpose of this report is to assist with project planning and documentation of the biological surveys. This document is not intended for permitting purposes and may not contain
adequate information to support environmental permit applications (i.e., California Environmental Quality Act). The proposed project was evaluated for potential impacts to sensitive biological resources, primarily state- or federal-listed
threatened and/or endangered species (Figure 2.2). 
 The proposed project site is located within the range of several threatened and/or
endangered wildlife taxa, including; San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica), blunt-nosed leopard lizard (Gambelia sila), California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense), giant kangaroo rat (Dipodomys ingens),
and Nelson’s antelope squirrel (Ammospermophiluts nelsoni). In addition, listed plant taxa that may occur in the vicinity of the site include California jewelflower (Caulanthus californicus) and San Joaquin woollythreads
(Monolopia congdonii), among others.

 Listed plant and animal species are protected primarily through the Federal Endangered Species Act (FESA)
and/or California Endangered Species Act (CESA). Each of these laws, among other provisions, prohibits “take” of listed threatened and endangered species. Although the definition of “take” under each law varies somewhat, in
general, injuring or killing listed species without a permit issued from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and/or California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) is unlawful. Under FESA, significant habitat destruction could also be
considered “take” requiring a permit. The California Fish and Game Code also contains a provision for “fully protected” species. “Take” permits cannot be issued for species within this category. 

Several other state and federal laws apply to biological resource protection. The most significant of these include Migratory Bird Treaty Act, Bald Eagle
Protection Act, and California Fish and Game Code sections pertaining to raptors, migratory birds, fully protected species, and streambed alteration. Compliance with these regulations is discussed if deemed necessary. 

Several special-status species that are not listed as threatened or endangered may occur in the vicinity of the proposed project, including: burrowing
owl (Athene cunicularia), San Joaquin coachwhip (Masticophis flagellum ruddockii), loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus), and western spadefoot toad (Spea hammondii), among others. 

The potential occurrence of all special-status species is discussed more thoroughly in section 3.2. 

 

	 	2.2	Project Description 

 CTV proposes
to construct a small-scale solar to steam demonstration plant to test the efficacy of renewable solar energy to produce steam for enhanced oil recovery operations. The site selected for the demonstration plant is a pie-shaped footprint of
approximately 60 acres on wholly-owned Chevron land. 
 As currently planned, the concentrating solar thermal technology is based on a
Distributed Power Tower (DPT). DPT systems consist of a fixed receiver mounted on a tower surrounded by a array of mirrors called heliostats. The heliostats track the sun on two axes to concentrate solar radiation onto the absorber of the receiver.
The concentrated solar energy heats water producing steam to be injected into the existing distribution system. The DPT for this demonstration project would measure approximately 329 feet in height. 

 

	 	2.3	Methods 

 A current list of
special-status species that could potentially occur in the vicinity of the project site was compiled by accessing the CNDDB, CNPS online inventory, USFWS online data, and by consulting pertinent literature. 

Reports were generated from the CNDDB/Rarefind 3.1.1, USFWS online data, and CNPS online inventory for the project site. These reports included a query
of the Alcalde Hills United States Geological Survey 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle in which the proposed project site is found as well as the immediate eight surrounding topographic quadrangles (Coalinga, Curry Mountain, Domengine Ranch, Joaquin
Rocks, Kreyenhagen Hills, Santa Rita Peak, Sherman Peak, and Smith Mountain quadrangles). The CNDDB (CDFG 2007a) contains records for

special-status species, as well as sensitive natural communities that have been reported to the CDFG and the USFWS online data generates a list of federally listed species with the potential to
occur within the quadrangle. The CNPS online inventory contains information regarding state and federal listed plant species and those considered by the CNPS to be sensitive. The potential for the occurrence of each species in these reports was
evaluated. 
 Other sources of information regarding special-status species in California were subsequently reviewed given that the CNDDB
records are not necessarily inclusive of all special-status species that may occur in an area. A review of the CDFG’s List of Special Animals (October 2007) (CDFG 2007b) and List of Special Plants (October 2007) (CDFG 2007c) was conducted to
determine if any other special-status species have the potential to occur in the vicinity of the project site. The literature review was based on the professional experience of McCormick Biological, Inc. within the region and elsewhere in
California, and included review of other published and unpublished sources with information regarding special-status species occurrence in this region of California. 
 Focused surveys for blunt-nosed leopard lizard were conducted based on CDFG’s May 2004 Approved Survey Methodology for the Blunt-nosed Leopard Lizard. The full text of the approved methodology
is contained in Appendix B. Specifically, the surveys were conducted by walking 50 to 100-foot wide transects within the project site while stopping frequently to scan for lizards. On the initial site evaluated, surveys were conducted for 12 days
between May 21 and June 29, 2007 consistent with the guidelines for conducting surveys within the recommended adult survey time period. In addition, five survey days were conducted within the project site and buffer between
September 4 and September 12, 2007 consistent with the guidelines required during the optimal time period for observation of blunt-nosed leopard lizard hatchlings. All blunt-nosed leopard lizard surveys were conducted by teams of two
surveyors before 2:00 p.m. when recorded air temperatures ranged between 25° and 35°C. 
 During surveys for blunt-nosed leopard
lizards, the property was evaluated for potentially-occurring special-status plants and direct observations of special-status wildlife species, important habitat elements for special-status species, and “sign” (scat, tracks, tail drags,
burrows, dens, etc.) were noted if encountered. Information from field survey forms and GPS points were used to map special-status species observations and sign. All plant and wildlife taxa observed during the surveys were identified to the extent
possible. 
  

	3.0	Results and Impacts 

  

	 	3.1	General Site Conditions 

 The
entire survey area is currently non-native grassland which has been used intermittently for livestock grazing. No evidence of recent livestock grazing was observed during the surveys. The project area is along the eastern edge of a highly disturbed
portion of the Coalinga oilfield. A minor amount of historic surface disturbance from petroleum production activity was evident. Roads, tank batteries, power lines and pumping units were present within the survey area and vicinity. The site is not
fenced and vehicles were observed using site roads on an infrequent basis. The project site is bordered on three sides by active petroleum production areas, low density areas to the north and south and a high density area to the west. Non-native
grassland

habitat borders the project area in all directions. Los Gatos Creek crosses northwest to southeast on the northeast corner of the survey area. However, project construction would not encroach on
the bed, bank, or channel of Los Gatos Creek. 
 The non-native grassland natural community observed on the project site has likely been
maintained by some type of historic surface disturbance. Annual vegetation was observed to be dense of primarily ruderal species typical of areas that have been disturbed. No evidence of listed plant species was observed within the survey area.
Although the surveys were not conducted at an appropriate time for detection of early spring special-status annual species, site conditions were considered very poor for the potential occurrence of these species. All species of plants and wildlife
observed during the site visits were typical of those commonly seen in similar areas. Tables 3.1a and 3.1b contain plants and wildlife observed during the surveys. 
  

	 	3.2	Special-status Biological Resources 

Lists of potentially-occurring special-status plant and wildlife species was developed through the literature review conducted for this project. Table 3.2
and 3.3 show these species and their corresponding status with an occurrence/impact analysis. The analysis shown in Table 3.2 was based on known life history of the subject special-status species, professional experience of MBI regarding these
species in the vicinity of the project site, observations of plants and wildlife at the site, and habitat characteristics recorded during the surveys. Although the potential for impacts to many of the special-status species is low, measures have
been proposed to further reduce this potential for impacts. With the implementation of measures contained in section 4.0, impacts to any of the species shown in Table 3.2 and 3.3 are not anticipated. The following paragraphs describe observations
and potential impacts to those species for which further discussion was deemed necessary based on the preliminary evaluation. 
  

	 	3.2.1	Listed Wildlife 

 Nelson’s
antelope squirrel (Ammospermophilus nelsoni) is a small, yellow-brown squirrel with two distinguishing white stripes along dorsal side of the body and when running, it holds its tail over the back, exposing the white undertail. In
contrast to other listed mammals in their range, these squirrels are diurnal and are active year-round except in heavy fog or when temperatures drop below around 50 °F. Young are apparently born in March and appear above ground in early April
(Kakiba-Russell, et al 1991). 
 Nelson’s antelope squirrels are most often found in grasslands or open shrublands. Associated shrubs
include saltbush, ephedra, bladder pod (Isomeris arborea), goldenbush (Isocoma acradenius= Haplopappus a.), snakeweed (Gutierrezia bracteata), among others. Nelson’s antelope squirrels are omnivorous, with a diet consisting
primarily of grass, herb seeds, and insects (USFWS 1998). Nelson’s antelope squirrels rarely occupy burrows they have dug; instead, they tend to use burrows dug by kangaroo rats. In grassy, shrubless areas, Harris and Stearns (1990) found
Nelson’s antelope squirrels only in areas with high kangaroo rat densities. 
 Nelson’s antelope squirrels were not observed during
surveys on the project site. Although historically this species was present in the vicinity of Coalinga, the nearest location was south of the town of Coalinga. The nearest recorded location for the species north of the project site is

several miles to the north. Appropriate habitat is present throughout the project vicinity; however, MBI has not observed Nelson’s antelope squirrel over several years of surveying nearby
(approximately 5 mile radius) project sites. Based on these survey results, the project is not expected to result in impacts to Nelson’s antelope squirrel. Measures in section 4.0 that are intended to reduce and/or avoid potential impacts to
wildlife would further reduce the potential for impacts. 
 Giant kangaroo rats (Dipodomys ingens) occupy annual grasslands and
sparse shrublands with well-drained, usually loamy or sandy loam soils. This species favors flat gently sloping terrain with low annual precipitation, typically 5 inches (13 centimeters) or less in the southwestern San Joaquin Valley and adjacent
plateaus and valleys in the Inner Coast Ranges. The species is found from elevations of about 300 to 2900 feet; however, little extant habitat remains at elevations below 650 feet. Few colonies are located above 2500 feet. 

The giant kangaroo rat originally occurred throughout the San Joaquin Valley from southern Merced County to southwestern Kern County and northern Santa
Barbara County. Conversion of native valley grassland habitats to agricultural uses has reduced extant giant kangaroo rat distribution to approximately 2 to 3 percent of its historic range (Williams 1980). The remaining habitat has been broken into
six major geographic units, including the Cuyama Valley. The Cuyama Valley is the farthest south of the identified extant populations of this species (USFWS 1998). 
 This species is the largest species in the genus and can be determined from co-occurring species by the body mass and hind foot toe numbers (versus D. nitratoides) or size (versus D.
heermani). The hind legs are elongated and serve as the principal means of locomotion. A long tufted tail, comprising about one-half of the total length of the animal, provides balance. Coloration is brownish above, changing to whitish
ventrally. The underside of the tail is also white in coloration with a brownish tip at the end of the tuft (USFWS 1998). 
 Giant kangaroo rat
burrow systems (precincts) are distinctive because of the size and orientation of the individual entrances and the presence of cleared vegetation in the vicinity of the system. Precincts may include one to several burrow openings and a colony may
consist of two to thousands of precincts. Burrows of two types may be observed within giant kangaroo rat precincts. Horizontal burrow openings are typical in appearance compared to other kangaroo rats; however, these openings are usually quite large
in comparison to other species. Giant kangaroo rats also may construct vertical burrow openings. Other characteristics of giant kangaroo rat precincts include tracks from their distinctively large feet and tail drags, “haystacks” of seeds
drying near the burrows, and large scat near the burrow entrances. Individual precincts are usually connected to other precincts by well-worn paths and are relatively easy to detect, even from a distance (Williams 1980). 

No burrow systems typical of this species or possible sign of site occupation were observed during the surveys. Historic records of this species are
known from the vicinity of Coalinga; however, no recent records are reported by the CNDDB. Based on these survey results, the project is not expected to result in impacts to giant kangaroo rat. Measures in section 4.0 that are intended to reduce
and/or avoid potential impacts to wildlife would further reduce the potential for impacts.

Blunt-nosed leopard lizard (Gambelia sila) is a state and federal listed endangered species that may be present in the vicinity of the proposed project. This species is also fully
protected by the State of California. Blunt-nosed leopard lizard occurs in open saltbush scrub and grassland habitats, roads, and open dry washes that are infrequently inundated across the San Joaquin Valley, Carrizo Plain, and Elkhorn Plain, The
species is additionally found in suitable areas within the Inner Coast Ranges in the Kettleman Hills and Panoche Hills. In general, blunt-nosed leopard lizards are not found in areas of steep slopes, dense vegetation, or areas subject to seasonal
flooding (USFWS 1998). 
 Blunt-nosed leopard lizards feed primarily on insects and other lizards. They use small rodent burrows to escape
predators and temperature extremes, typically kangaroo rat or ground squirrel burrows. This species will infrequently dig shallow tunnels in earthen berms or under rocks in habitat where small mammal burrows are unavailable. Seasonal activity of
this species is correlated with weather, primarily temperature. The optimal temperature range for above-ground activity is between 74 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Adults are seasonally active, emerging from burrows during March or April until June or
July. After July, most adults are not observed above-ground. Hatchlings and sub-adults may be active as late as mid-October or early November (USFWS 1998). 
 CNDDB records indicate that blunt-nosed leopard lizards were observed along Los Gatos Creek approximately 0.6 miles east of the project site in 1989 (CDFG 2007a). In general, the habitat along the portion
of Los Gatos Creek in the vicinity of Coalinga consists of fairly dense non-native grassland up to the bank of the creek. In areas of flow within the main channel and areas that have been subject to bank overflow, vegetation is sparse and provides
very good habitat for this species. Much of the bank area is a steep drop-off from the surrounding habitat to the channel. Within the survey area, the creek area was altered by construction of the bridge along Gale Road. Although the construction
occurred many years ago, the area still appears to have been highly impacted by this construction. 
 The southern portion of the survey area
represented marginally higher quality habitat for this species than the northern portion. The vegetation density generally increased while small mammal burrow availability decreased within the grassland areas moving south to north on the parcel.
However, small mammal burrow density along site roads was higher in the northern portion of the survey area. In the northern portion of the area, small mammal burrows included Botta’s pocket gopher (Thomomys bottae) in the non-native
grassland with kangaroo rat (Dipodomys sp.) and mouse (Peromyscus sp., Perognathus sp., etc) along roads. Some California ground squirrel burrows were observed in the southern portion of the survey area. One exception to the
general pattern of vegetation was the non-native grassland area along the eastern edge of the project site and within the eastern buffer area. The vegetation density in this area was generally lower than other areas of the site; however, an
extremely low density of small mammal burrows were observed in this area. Very few small mammal burrows were observed within the identified project site. 
 Species-specific surveys for blunt-nosed leopard lizard were conducted within the survey area May 21 through September 12, 2007 (Table 3.3). Although 17 days of surveys were conducted within the
survey area, all survey days did not cover the same portion of the survey area due to changes in the project boundary during the course of the survey season. The full protocol of 17

survey-days were conducted on the portion of the project shown in Figure 3.1, with varying survey days conducted within other portions of the survey area. 

No blunt-nosed leopard lizards were observed during surveys conducted on the site during 2007. In addition, no sign of large lizards (scat, tracks, tail
drags) was observed. Even though the complete CDFG protocol was not conducted over the entire project site, a portion of the project site was surveyed per the protocol and partial protocol surveys were conducted over a fairly large area adjacent to
the project site. Based on the surveys conducted, habitat conditions, and lack of sign of the species, MBI has concluded that there is a low probability that blunt-nosed leopard lizards occupy the project site at this time. 

There is a low probability that individual blunt-nosed leopard lizards would be subject to injury and/or mortality due to vehicle traffic and land
clearing that would be associated with the project. Because no “take” of this species is allowed under state law even with endangered species act permits, measures have been proposed in section 4.0 that are intended to avoid potential
impacts and further minimize the likelihood of unlawful “take” of this species on the site. With the implementation of appropriate measures impacts to this species should be avoided. 

San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica) resembles a small lanky dog in appearance, with disproportionately large ears containing an
abundance of large, white inner guard hairs. The San Joaquin kit fox is the largest subspecies of kit fox, with adults weighing 4.5 to 5 pounds (2-2.3 kg). Total length is about 32 inches, including up to a 12-inch black-tipped tail. Coloration
ranges from light buff to grayish along the back and tail, gray, rust, or yellowish along the sides, and white on the belly (USFWS 1998). 
 San
Joaquin kit fox occur in a variety of open grassland, oak savannah, and shrub vegetation types/habitats as well as agricultural areas in the San Joaquin Valley. In the southern San Joaquin Valley portion of the range, San Joaquin kit fox are
generally found in sparse annual grassland and scrub communities (e.g., non-native grassland, saltbush scrub). Den characteristics of the taxon vary across its range. In the southern portion of its range the taxon often creates dens with two
entrances. Natal dens generally have multiple entrances. Entrances are usually 8 to 10 inches in diameter and are normally higher than wide, but kit foxes can utilize dens with entrances as small as four inches in diameter. Kit foxes do not
typically excavate their own dens, but rather enlarge burrows of other species, such as California ground squirrels (Spermophilus beecheyi) and change dens on a regular basis. One kit fox was tracked to 70 dens during a two-year study. Home
ranges for the taxon have been reported by several authors to range from 1 to 12 square miles (USFWS 1998). 
 San Joaquin kit fox are known to
den and forage in non-native grassland areas of Fresno County. No potential or known kit fox dens were observed; however, it is likely the kit fox at least forage in the survey area. This species is highly mobile and, although not suspected to be
present on the site currently, the species may establish den sites in the survey area at any time. 
 Individual San Joaquin kit fox foraging on
the site may be subject to injury and/or mortality due to vehicle traffic and land clearing that would be associated with the project. In general, construction equipment and related project activities pose a danger to wildlife. Dens subsequently
established on the site may be crushed by earthmoving equipment or by

unauthorized offroad vehicle traffic. Measures have been proposed in section 4.0 that are intended to avoid these potential impacts and minimize the likelihood of unlawful “take” of
this species on the site should the site become occupied by San Joaquin kit fox prior to project construction. With the implementation of appropriate measures direct impacts to this species should be avoided. 

 

	 	3.2.2	Special-status Plant Species 

 Several
special-status and listed plant species may occur in western Fresno County in habitat similar to that surrounding the proposed project site. Information for the following descriptions is from Hickman (1993) unless otherwise noted. 

California jewelflower (Caulanthus californicus), a member of the mustard family (Brassicaceae), is an herbaceous annual. Foliage is
gray-green, with heart-shaped clasping stem leaves and wavy margined strap-shaped basal leaves. Unopened flowers appear deep maroon in color. Open flowers are white to greenish-yellow. Suitable habitat for this species is non-alkaline to slightly
alkaline sandy loam soils of relatively undisturbed grassland communities below an elevation of 1,000 meters. 
 Historically, the range of the
species included the upper San Joaquin and adjacent valleys from Coalinga in the northwest to the Cuyama Valley in the southwest. Of 55 historical locations, approximately twenty extant populations remain (Skinner and Pavlik 1994). Recently, extant
populations have been found on the Carrizo Plain in San Luis Obispo County, and in the Kreyenhagen Hills of Fresno County. 
 This species was
not observed during the surveys. It is possible that this species has been extirpated from the southern San Joaquin Valley and impacts are not anticipated. 
 San Joaquin woollythreads (Monolopia congdonii). a member of the Asteraceae family, are a small, inconspicuous annual which may reach 1 to 10 inches in height at maturity. San Joaquin wooly
threads are found in valley grassland habitat types with silty sand or sandy loam soils at elevations ranging from 60 meters to 800 meters. Valley saltbush is often the dominant shrub in these habitat types. The preferred microhabitat for this
species consists of areas with reduced annual grass competition. It is generally not found where annual grasses are extremely dense and tall (Taylor 1987). This species is somewhat prostrate, allowing it to persist under grazing pressure. Known
extant populations in Kern County occur along the Kern River near Interstate 5, near Lost Hills, and on the Belridge Plain. 
  

	 	3.2.3	Other Special-status Species 

 American
badgers (Taxidea taxus) are low, squat animals with conspicuous silver-tipped pelage dorsally and a short, black-tipped tail. The most striking visual feature of this species is its striped face, consisting of a median white stripe
proceeding from the tip of its nose to the back of its head. This stripe is flanked by alternating white and dark stripes giving way to bright, white-outlined ears. The badger’s wide flattened body is supported by short but powerful legs. The
front feet are fitted with noticeably long claws that are especially well-suited for digging out the burrows of the rodents on which it feeds.

 Section 19, T. 20 S., R. 15 E., M.D.B. & M

 Historically, badgers are thought to have been fairly widespread in the open grassland habitats of the lower
San Joaquin Valley. Their modern San Joaquin Valley distribution is essentially restricted to the limited, often isolated and remote tracts of native grassland and shrubland habitats. Cultivated lands have been reported to provide little usable
habitat for this species, and badgers are believed to be declining throughout California (Williams 1986). 
 Badgers are solitary animals. They
usually forage for burrowing prey such as gophers, ground squirrels, marmots, and kangaroo rats, although they are known to take a variety of nesting mammals, reptiles, and birds. 
 Badger sign was observed during the surveys but no burrows suspected of being occupied by the species were observed. Badger burrows subsequently established on the site may be crushed by earthmoving
equipment or by unauthorized offroad vehicle traffic. Measures have been proposed in section 4.0 that are intended to avoid these potential impacts should the site become occupied by American badger prior to project. 

In addition to the species observed during the surveys, many migratory bird species and bat species may be present in the vicinity of the project site.
Birds and bats can be subject to collisions with tall facilities, associated guy wires, and/or other supports. In addition, bright night lighting may attract insects on which both birds and bats forage. The project includes construction of an
approximately 300 foot tower and power lines that could subject birds and bats to collisions as well as electrocution hazards. Other project-related structures lower in height will also be constructed. 

Birds that fly into the reflected sunlight between the heliostats and the power towers could be impacted. In general, bird migration activities occur at
night, typically at a high altitude. Ground structures located in flat terrain, such as the tower and power lines associated with the project, do not typically represent a significant hazard to migrating birds. Existing powerlines in the vicinity of
the project are not known to be a significant source of mortality for migrating birds. Additionally, the project area is not known to be a significant flyway for migrating birds. There are no topographic features or wetlands that would attract birds
specifically to the project site or vicinity. Therefore the potential for bird collisions with any facilities at the site would be very low. 

Powerlines and associated transformers represent a potential electrocution hazard, to raptors as well as other bird species known to be present in the
vicinity of the project site. Recommendations are included in section 4.0 that are intended to minimize the potential electrocution hazard to migratory birds. 
 No bat roosting sites are known from the vicinity of the project site and there are no habitat features in the vicinity that would be typical of large roost sites. Large numbers of bats are not
anticipated to be present or use the site area. Shielded night lighting will reduce the potential for avian and bat collision by reducing the potential for prey and subsequent attraction to nocturnal insectivores. Therefore, the potential for bird
and/or bat night collisions with tall structures associated with the project would be considered low, provided that the measures recommended in section 4.0 are implemented.

	 	3.3	Project Effects Discussion 

  

	 	3.3.1	Direct Injury, Mortality, etc. 

 Wildlife
injury and mortality could occur as a result of project activities including vehicular collisions on site during construction and operation; entrapment of individuals in open trenches during construction, the crushing of burrows and/or dens during
construction activities, and electrocution and/or collisions with project structures. 
 No dens or burrows of any special-status species were
identified within the project site. Small mammal burrows that were not likely to be occupied by any special-status species were observed throughout the survey area. Measures in section 4.0 are intended to result in avoiding “take” of
listed species and avoidance of significant impacts to any other special-status species that may occur within the project site. 
 The potential
for wildlife collisions and electrocution are more thoroughly discussed in section 3.2.3. 
  

	 	3.3.2	Habitat Disturbance 

 The project site has
historically been used for oil production purposes and has likely had other surface disturbance. The site currently consists of non-native grassland. The proposed project site area that would be subject to impacts is not currently suspected to be
occupied by special-status species. This area provides some value to special-status species as it is currently open space. The wildlife occupying the site is somewhat limited based on survey observations. Evidence of Botta’s pocket gopher,
kangaroo rat, and deer mouse was observed and several bird species were seen during surveys. 
 The loss of 60 acres of previously disturbed
non-native grassland in an area adjacent to active oil production areas is not a significant loss of this natural community in the region. Non-native grassland is prevalent in fallow fields and the low foothills in the vicinity of Coalinga and along
the west side of the San Joaquin Valley. No further mitigation measures are recommended. 
  

	 	3.3.3	Wildlife Movement and/or Migration 

 No
evidence that the site is important as a migratory or movement corridor was observed or has been documented. Although migratory birds move through this portion of the San Joaquin Valley and may occasionally utilize the project site, the site has not
been documented to be an important stopover or resting place for migratory birds. 
 San Joaquin kit fox is a highly mobile species that likely
forages and potentially dens in the vicinity of the project site. This species is likely to freely move through the non-native grassland areas associated with adjacent open space and oil production areas. Kit foxes have been documented to be highly
tolerant of human activities (Bjurlin et al 2005) and this project is not likely to significantly affect kit fox movement through the vicinity. 
 No further measures related to this potential effect have been recommended.

	 	3.3.4	Noise 

 Noise thresholds have not been
established for any of the special-status species included in this report. The project site is located adjacent to existing noise sources including a cogeneration facility and various oil production facilities. In addition, the site is located
within approximately 4.5 miles of an airport. Typical noise in the area associated with aircraft use would include commercial jetliners at high altitude, crop dusting aircraft, and small fixed wing aircraft that may use the nearby airport. The
project is not expected to result in an increase in the ambient noise level in the vicinity. 
 Wildlife in the vicinity of the project site are
likely to be habituated to the existing noise level, and it is unlikely that the existing pattern of habitat use would be changed due to noise levels created by the project. Noise levels are not expected to result in any direct or indirect impacts
to wildlife species. 
  

	 	3.3.5	Nighttime Lighting 

 The project site will
include minimal night lighting associated with site security. Design will include features such as shielding and directional type lighting. No impacts to biological resources are anticipated as a result of nighttime lighting. 

 

	 	3.3.6	Traffic 

 The onsite speed limit during
construction and operation of the project will be 20 miles per hour or slower. Speed limits will be posted and clearly visible by all guests and personnel. The project is not expected to result in significant additional traffic on local public
roads. 
 The special-status species that could be most susceptible to traffic related impacts would be San Joaquin kit fox. The primary roads
that would be used by project-related traffic are likely to be used or crossed infrequently by other special-status species that may occur in adjacent habitat. The documented risk to San Joaquin kit fox being struck by vehicles on two-lane roads is
generally low. In populations that have been monitored, the mortality rate from vehicle strikes rarely exceeds 10% on roads with moderate traffic volumes (Cypher et al 2005). 
 The potential for traffic-related impacts to biological resources is very low. 
  

	4.0	Recommendations 

 Most of the
special-status species identified during the literature review as potentially occurring within the region of the project site are unlikely to be impacted by the construction and operation of the proposed solar facility. The measures listed in the
following paragraphs should be implemented as precautions to address potential impacts to special-status species that may occur in the vicinity of project site. 
  

	 	4.1	Recommendations Regarding Special-status Species 

  

	 	1)	 It would be preferable that full CDFG protocol surveys for detection of blunt-nosed

leopard lizard be conducted on the selected project site and all ancillary facilities prior to initiation of site construction. 

 

	 	2)	A pre-activity survey should be conducted by a qualified biologist prior to any ground disturbance in areas subject to project construction impacts to determine whether
any potential or known San Joaquin kit fox dens or other evidence of special-status species (e.g. burrowing owl) site occupation are present or have subsequently been established. The pre-activity survey shall be conducted at least 60 days before
ground disturbing activities are initiated with a follow-up survey no more than 14 days prior to construction. Results of the pre-activity survey will be used to implement the applicable mitigation measures included herein. 

 

	 	3)	The disposition of San Joaquin kit fox dens shall be according to USFWS guidelines (1999) or per requirements of applicable project permits. Known dens shall not
be excavated unless FESA permit coverage for San Joaquin kit fox has been obtained. 

  

	 	4)	All pipes, culverts, or similar structures with a diameter greater than 4 inches shall be capped or blocked to prevent entry by San Joaquin kit fox and other wildlife.
If pipe is not capped (i.e. short pipe segments stockpiled prior to use), it should be inspected for kit fox. If any kit fox are observed within pipe, they shall be allowed to escape unimpeded; 

 

	 	5)	All employees, contractors, or other persons involved in initial site grading and preparation for construction shall attend an orientation session informing them of the
biological resource protection measures which will be implemented for the project. The orientation shall be prepared by a qualified biologist and presented as part of standard operating procedures. The orientation shall include information regarding
the life history of the protected species, reasons for special status, a summary of applicable environmental law, and measures intended to reduce impacts. After initial construction has been completed, all employees and contractors shall participate
in the standard Chevron San Joaquin Valley Business Unit biological resource orientation program. 

  

	 	6)	All trash and food waste shall be disposed of in closed containers and regularly removed from the project site during construction. Absolutely no deliberate feeding of
wildlife shall be allowed. 

  

	 	7)	No pets shall be allowed on the site during project activities. 

  

	 	8)	The project site and all work areas shall be clearly delineated by stakes, flagging, fencing or other material approved by a qualified biologist to minimize inadvertent
degradation or loss of adjacent wildlife habitat during project activities. 

  

	 	9)	The applicant shall establish and issue traffic restraints and signs to minimize temporary disturbances. Signs shall include information regarding speed limit and
presence of special-status species. All project-related vehicle traffic should be restricted to established roads, designated access roads and routes, project activity areas, storage areas, and staging and parking areas. Off-road traffic outside of
designated project areas shall be prohibited. A 20-mph speed limit should be observed in all other project areas except on county roads and state and federal highways.

	 	10)	All equipment storage and parking during project activities should be confined to the designated construction area or to previously disturbed offsite areas that are not
habitat for listed species. 

  

	 	11)	Site grading and/or clearing involving new habitat disturbance shall be limited to daylight hours. 

 

	 	4.2	Recommendations Regarding Migratory Birds 

 Occupied native bird and raptor nests and individual birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. If possible, all site grading which could directly impact native bird and/or raptor nests
(including burrowing owl) should be conducted between September 1 and January 31, during the non-breeding season for most bird species. The following measures will be implemented to reduce potential impacts to native birds and raptors;

  

	 	1.	In compliance with Sections 3503 and 3503.5 of the California Fish and Game Code, if grading is to occur during the native bird and raptor nesting breeding season
(February 1 through August 31), a qualified biologist shall determine the presence of any native bird and raptor nests during the pre-activity survey conducted per #2 above. In addition, CDFG will be contacted to obtain and comply with all
appropriate procedures relative to grading operations if any active nests are identified in the vicinity of the project site. Resulting mitigation measures may include restricting construction activities near native bird and raptor nesting sites
during the breeding season. 

  

	 	2.	The pre-activity survey shall include a survey for burrowing owl. If active burrowing owl burrows are detected outside of breeding season (September 1 through
January 31), burrows should be avoided by a suitable buffer distance as determined by a qualified biologist. This distance would vary depending on season, existing disturbances, etc. During nesting season, burrow avoidance should continue until
young have fledged. As an alternative, passive and/or active relocation efforts may be undertaken if approved by CDFG and USFWS. 

  

	 	3.	All overhead power lines should include raptor perch guards to minimize perching locations and electrocution hazards to birds. 

 

	 	4.	Overhead power lines appropriately spaced to minimize the potential of raptor electrocution using the current recommendations for line spacing.

  

	 	5.	Security lighting should be directed downward to reduce light pollution and consist of bulbs that minimize insect attraction and subsequently minimize the potential for
avian and bat attraction and collision.

Appendix I. Field Inspection Checklist 

 GU – CHESM Field Inspection Checklist 

 
  
 Global Upstream – CHESM Field Inspection Checklist 
 This checklist provides a format
for the recording of observations at work sites visited during the inspection. Use this information for completing the inspection and providing the score required for the contractor’s health, environment and safety (HES) qualification rating.
The summary of the inspection findings and detailed information about the areas needing improvement (not the scoring) shall be communicated to the contractor’s site representative. After completing this form, turn it in to your local HES
representative and provide a copy to the work site supervisor/leader. 
 Company representatives observe the work site and work practices of the
contractor. The contractor is an independent contractor responsible for the safe and timely completion of the work in accordance with applicable industry standards and the contract and company specifications. If the work site or practices of a
contractor are unsafe, stop the work and notify the contractor’s representative immediately. It is then the contractor’s responsibility to evaluate the situation, take any necessary corrective or remedial action and restart the work when
it is safe to do so. 
 The company should not direct the work or provide any work instructions or corrective measures directly to the
contractor personnel, except for situations where imminent danger exists. Other than stopping any unsafe work practices, limit inspections to obtaining information for the company’s audit and evaluation of the contractor’s HES practices.

 Interviewing contractor site personnel during the tour is advised to avoid making two trips.

EXHIBIT F 

ACCEPTANCE AND PERFORMANCE TESTS 
 A. Commissioning Activities. The commissioning activities include the testing (at first each item of equipment, and later system by system) and commissioning process prior to startup of the entire
plant as an integrated operating facility. The commissioning activities and protocols are described in Exhibit H. At the completion of the commissioning activities, the Demo Plant will have achieved Mechanical Completion and will be ready for
startup. 
 B. Startup Test. The Startup Test is a preliminary test of operation of the entire Demo Plant after Mechanical Completion and
during which service steam production is measured. The Startup Test will demonstrate significant operational functionality of the Demo Plant although the service steam delivery will be below final design. Pursuant to Exhibit A-5, the Startup test is
to be satisfactorily completed not later than March 31, 2011. 
 The Startup Test will be deemed passed on the first day that aggregate
enthalpy input to service steam from the Demo Plant, as measured and adjusted as set forth in Paragraphs F and G, during [*] hourly periods (an hourly period shall mean a sixty minute period within a daily hour, such as 11:00-12:00. but not 11:22 to
12:22) in one day (which [*] hours need not be contiguous) equals [*] MMBtu (which is the energy equivalent of [*] pounds of steam at an average quality of [*] and an average pressure of [*] psia (equivalent to [*] of maximum continuous design rate
for a [*]hour period)). 
 C. Acceptance Test. The Acceptance Test is an operational test of the Demo Plant performance over a test
period of [*] successive days during which there is an average of [*] hourly periods (an hourly period shall mean a sixty minute period within a daily hour, such as 11:00-12:00 but not 11:22 to 12:22) during each day with a minimum Direct Normal
Insolation (“DNI”) value of [*] Wh/sqm. If a day does not achieve said minimum DNI value for the requisite [*] hours, such day shall be ignored and the Acceptance Test continued on the next day with such minimum insolation. Thus the
Acceptance Test may continue over a number of calendar days in excess of [*], but all days with the minimum insolation over the requisite hours during the Acceptance Test period shall be included. For the avoidance of doubt, the comparison of actual
performance to predicted performance will be made during all operating hours of each day included in the Acceptance Test. 
 Actual performance
will be measured and compared with the performance predicted by the Performance Model (see description of Performance Model in Paragraph H below) based upon actual operating conditions and parameters as set forth in the Performance Model and
corrected for Forced Outage periods (see 
  

	*	Confidential Treatment Requested 

  
 1 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

said description below in Paragraph H) as measured and adjusted as set forth in Paragraphs F and G. The Acceptance Test will be passed when the Project
delivers [*] of the enthalpy at the Design Criteria that the Demo Plant should deliver to the Company’s steam distribution system as predicted by the Performance Model when using actual hourly insolation values and other specified parameters as
inputs to the Performance Model. 
 Provider will be able to start and restart the Acceptance Test at its own discretion as many times as needed
to pass the Acceptance Test within six (6) months from the successful completion of the Startup Test. At any point prior to completion of said six (6) month period, Provider can request a six (6) month extension of the time allotted
to complete the Acceptance Test by providing written notice of such request to Company. Such notice shall include Provider’s detailed explanation for requiring the extension and such extension shall be effective upon Company’s receipt
thereof. If the Acceptance Test has not been passed prior to the expiration of such 6-month extension, Provider may request an additional extension of time. Company, in its sole discretion, will approve or deny Provider’s request for such
additional extension. Furthermore, in accordance with Exhibit H, Provider shall notify Company prior to starting its first attempt and any subsequent attempt to perform the Acceptance Test. 
 Determination of satisfactory completion of the Acceptance Test shall be made in the first instance by the Company in consultation with Provider, which shall include an opportunity for Provider to comment
upon Company’s methodology and data used for analysis prior to such determination. If Company determines that the Acceptance Test was not met, Company shall provide to Provider all data and calculations and assumptions made by Company in making
such determination. If Provider disputes Company’s determination, such dispute shall be resolved by an Independent Engineer as described in Paragraph J below. 
 D. Annual Production Test. The Annual Production Test is a test of the Demo Plant in operation over a twelve-month period. During the Annual Production Test, Provider will attempt to meet or exceed
the Annual Production Guarantee (as defined below). 
 Actual performance will be measured and compared with the performance predicted by the
Performance Model (see description of Performance Model in Paragraph H below) based upon actual operating conditions and parameters as set forth in the Performance Model and corrected for Forced Outage periods (see said description below in
Paragraph H), as measured and adjusted as set forth in Paragraphs F and G. The “Annual Production Guarantee” is the enthalpy at the Design Criteria that the Demo Plant should deliver to the Company’s steam distribution system as
predicted by the Performance Model when using actual hourly insolation values and other specified parameters as inputs to the Performance Model. 
 The Annual Production Test will be commenced upon successful completion of 
  

	*	Confidential Treatment Requested 

  
 371

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

the Acceptance Test and upon notice by Provider as set forth in Exhibit H and, at its election and notice, any such test commenced may be terminated and a new test commenced. Provider has
eighteen months (18) months from successful completion of the Acceptance Test, but not later than thirty-four (34) months from Mechanical Completion, to complete the Annual Production Test. 

The Annual Production Guarantee shall be satisfied if either (1) the actual results (as measured and adjusted as set forth in Paragraphs F and G)
are not less than 100% of the Performance Model predicted results based upon actual operating conditions and parameters as set forth in the Performance Model and corrected for Forced Outage periods or (2) notwithstanding any other factor
(including weather and Forced Outage periods) the aggregate enthalpy input to service steam from the Demo Plant during the Annual Production Test equals or exceeds the Design Output (as defined in Paragraph G below) as measured and adjusted as set
forth in Paragraphs F and G. 
 E. Liquidated Damages for Failure to Satisfy Annual Production Guarantee 

If the Annual Production Guarantee is not satisfied, liquidated damages (“Liquidated Damages”) shall be payable, subject to the limitations in
Section 15 of the Agreement, equal to the positive amount, if any, determined by the following formula: 
  

	[*]

	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

[*] 
 Upon completion of the Annual Production
Test, Company will make a final payment to Provider as set forth in Exhibit B less the aggregated Liquidated Damages, subject to Section 15 of the Agreement. If the Liquidated Damages exceed the final payment, Provider will pay to Company the
Liquidated Damages less the final payment, subject to Section 15 of the Agreement. 
 The willingness of Provider to provide an Annual
Production Guarantee is expressly conditioned upon Provider or its Affiliate providing and having complete responsibility for the operation and maintenance for the Demo Plant until completion of the Annual Production Test, subject to Section 13
of the Agreement. 
 Determination of satisfactory completion of the Annual Production Guarantee shall be made in the first instance by the
Company in consultation with Provider, which shall include an opportunity for Provider to comment upon Company’s methodology and data used for analysis prior to such determination. If Company determines that the Annual Production Guarantee was
not met, Company shall provide to Provider all data and calculations and assumptions made by Company in making such determination. If Provider disputes Company’s determination, such dispute shall be resolved by an Independent Engineer as
described in Paragraph J below. 
 F. Operating Conditions Measurement Protocols 

Meteorological and operating data to be used for running the Performance Model and determination of the actual and predicted operating results shall be
taken from the instruments at the Demo Plant supplied as part of the Work. Said 
  

	*	Confidential Treatment Requested

	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

instruments shall be calibrated as part of the commissioning process in accordance with the standards set forth in Exhibit A and shall be deemed accurate
for purposes of all Tests (as defined below); provided, however, if an instrument demonstrates manifest and material error, the instrument shall be recalibrated in accordance with Prudent Industry Practices at the expense of the party that is then
responsible for operations and maintenance (Provider until satisfactory completion of the Startup Test and Company thereafter). Either Party may choose to have an independent party experienced and certified in such activities recalibrate or correct
said instruments in accordance with Prudent Industry Practices at its expense, and thereafter the readings on such instruments shall be used for subsequent data determinations. 
 Specific measurement points for these purposes are as follows (any instrument numbers refer to such instruments on the current P & I Diagrams included as part of Exhibit A-3):

	  	Meteorological Station
	 Wind Speed

	 Feedwater Inlet Temperature (2)
	  	TIT P-602

  

	(1)	In this Exhibit F, references to “service water” and “service steam” are references to the steam and water delivered from the Project to the TEOR
(as defined below) system of Chevron, either after they are combined to produce the design 60% quality steam or prior to such combination as the context requires. 

 

	(2)	In this Exhibit F, references to “feedwater” or “feedwater inlet” are references to the return water from the TEOR operations that is processed in
the Heat Exchanger System to produce the service water/steam combination at 60% quality steam for delivery to the TEOR. 

 The
data collected from the above instruments shall be recorded in real time on a continuous basis and preserved for determination of the predicted and actual results during all tests. The feedwater inlet mass flow rate is assumed to equal the aggregate
mass flow rate of the service steam and service water at all times. The above list sets forth the entire data set and the sole measurement points thereof that shall be used for all such determinations.

G. Adjustments to Design Criteria. 
 The
formulations for the thermodynamic properties of water and steam shall be based upon the latest version of the Formulation for Industrial Use by the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam, commonly known as IAPWS-IF97 or
IAPWS-97. All numbers set forth below shall be adjusted as necessary to reflect any changes to said steam and water property formulation. The term “Test” or “Tests” herein refers individually and collectively to the Startup Test,
the Acceptance Test, and the Annual Production Test as the context requires. 
 The unit of measure for the energy basis evaluation shall be the
British Thermal Unit (Btu). The Exhibit A-1 criteria for “Service Steam Output” serve to define an amount of energy to be delivered over the course of a one-year period. By specifying (1) the feedwater inlet temperature, (2) the
service steam pressure, service steam temperature, and service steam quality (commonly known as % vapor fraction), and (3) the annual mass flow rate, the total amount of energy to be added to the feedwater can be computed. 

[*] 
 Company’s objective in Thermally
Enhanced Oil Recovery (“TEOR”) operation is to deliver latent heat into the oil reservoir, thus the Design Criteria specifies [*] quality steam as the design and operating objective. 

Provider’s objective is to provide a design and Demo Plant that will deliver the enthalpy from insolation as predicted by the Performance Model at a
steam quality of [*]. 
 In order to determine if the predicted enthalpy delivery at design conditions has been met under operating conditions
other than at design conditions, an adjustment to actual enthalpy delivery to design conditions may be required. A number of examples serve to illustrate the determination of such adjustments: 

[*] 
  

	*	Confidential Treatment Requested

	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

[*] 
 During each hourly measurement period
during each Test, the enthalpy delivered to the service steam, on a mass flow basis, shall be calculated and adjusted as necessary to design conditions consistent with the examples set forth above. 

H. Performance Model. The Performance Model is an Excel spreadsheet model (refer to Exhibit F-2) prepared by the Provider and verified by the
Company that inputs actual meteorological conditions and outputs predicted Demo Plant performance in terms of enthalpy delivered into the service steam. Exhibit F-1 attached hereto is a user manual that further describes the Performance Model.

 The Performance Model delivered in connection with the execution of the Agreement shows Design Output at design conditions, with Typical
Meteorological Year insolation data and other design parameters. When used to predict performance, actual data will be entered as described in Exhibit F-1, including Forced Outage periods as described below. 

Essential to the proper analysis of the Demo Plant performance is a comparison of actual results with predicted results. However, with direct normal
solar insolation as the ultimate energy source, the predicted results are a function of actual direct normal insolation, other climate and atmospheric conditions, and the time of year and time of day. 

Furthermore, any predicted annual performance shall account for periods when the Project could not operate due to the following certain and limited
events (collectively defined as and referred to as “Forced Outage” hours and “Forced Hour” events, or in Exhibit F-1, as “Excuse Hours”): (1) Force Majeure; (2) inability of Company to receive service steam
from the Demo Plant at Design Criteria conditions; (3) inability of Company (feedwater) or the City of Coalinga (municipal water) to provide water needed to operate the Demo Plant; (4) wind conditions resulting in shutting down of the
solar field; (5) periods when the feedwater temperature is below [*] degrees Fahrenheit or in excess of [*] degrees Fahrenheit; (6) regular and routine maintenance for the Demo Plant, but not in excess of [*] days per year; (7) and
forced outages of the Demo Plant (i.e., unplanned, unscheduled maintenance activity resulting in corrective repair or cleaning of equipment to return the Demo Plant to service)). Any daily 

 

	*	Confidential Treatment Requested 

  
 7 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

hour in which the Demo Plant does not produce service steam due to a Forced Outage for 20 minutes or more shall be entered as a Forced Outage/Excuse hour
for the entire hour as described in Exhibit F-1. A Forced Outage of less than 20 minutes in a daily hour shall be ignored. 
 The Performance
Model is a predicted operating model based on the best technical judgment of Provider, but could be improved based on actual operating data. However, the period of actual operations available to capture that data and analyze the results to produce
different engineering estimates is not adequate for purposes of the Tests. Thus Provider and Company agree to use the Performance Model as is (subject to the specific updates referred to below), but either Party may suggest updates to the Model over
time for purposes of the Tests, and the other Party agrees to consider such adjustments in good faith, but is under no obligation to agree to any changes in the Performance Model. In any event, the Performance Model used for the Acceptance Test and
Annual Production Test, at the design insolation and operating conditions, must and shall predict the design enthalpy delivery to Chevron at the Design Criteria operating conditions. More specifically, the final Performance Model, pursuant to
Provider’s response to Company’s original request for proposal, shall predict an annual enthalpy output equivalent to a service steam output of at least [*] 
 Because the final solar field layout has not been completed, the Parties agree that the “Spillage” and “Heliostat Efficiency” in the Performance Model may be changed by Provider to
reflect the final design so long as the criteria set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph is met. Such adjustments are expected to result in minor refinements that could result in small changes in the predicted results during certain hours
of the year, with such results offsetting one another and resulting in the same predicted output. Provider shall deliver any such updated Performance Model to Company for its review to verify that the foregoing criteria are met not less than ninety
(90) days in advance of the commencement of the Acceptance Test. 
 I. Additional Agreements Concerning the Tests 

The Parties acknowledge that an Affiliate of Provider is expected to provide Operation and Maintenance services for the Demo Plant during the period of
the Acceptance Test and Annual Production Test. As set forth in Exhibit H, Provider is to provide supervision for such Tests. 
 Company agrees
to cooperate during the completion of such Tests and to not interfere in the running of such Tests so long as such operation and maintenance 
  

	*	Confidential Treatment Requested 

  
 8 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

is performed consistent with the standards set forth in Exhibit A-4. In particular, it is important to Provider’s obligations (and consistent with
Company’s interests) that the control system be operated to produce [*] quality steam, that the Demo Plant operate during all hours in which insolation is adequate to do so, that any maintenance be done during periods which minimize lost
output, and that the Demo Plant be operated and maintained so as to maximize aggregate thermal output consistent with the standards set forth in Exhibit A-4. These shared goals shall be implemented by the Operation and Maintenance operator during
the period of the Tests. 
 The Parties further acknowledge that the proper analysis of the Tests requires the capturing and preservation of
necessary data during real time, including a log of Forced Outage hours and other events that may affect Performance Model input. The Parties agree to cooperate so that such data is collected and available to both Parties on a daily basis and, to
the extent possible, to agree upon an automated system of analysis of operating data using the data logging software and hardware available at the Demo Plant. 
 Company agrees that if Provider needs to add Heliostats to the Project to meet the requirements of any Test, it may add such Heliostats within the boundaries of the Site, subject to all of the provisions
of the Agreement concerning construction activities at the Site. 
 J. Certification by Independent Engineer.  

(a) In the event that Provider disputes Company’s determination regarding successful completion of the Acceptance Test and/or the
Annual Production Test, Company and Provider shall mutually select an Independent Engineer to provide a certification with respect to Provider’s compliance with the terms of the Acceptance Test and/or Annual Production Test, as applicable
(collectively, the “Tests” and severally a “Test”). 
 (b) The Independent Engineer shall review operational
and weather data, including DNI levels. Such data shall be input into the Performance Model, which will yield the predicted enthalpy production at such operating conditions. A description of the Performance Model and its use and inputs is included
in Exhibit F-1.

	1.	Instructions 

 This document describes how
to use the Workbook entitled 08 081201 Performance Rev2, to provide an annual performance projection for the Chevron Solar Power Plant, for a given year. Meteorological data (solar and wind) will be a required input every year. Other
parameters such as parasitic will change only as necessary. Below the instructions, a description of each spreadsheet is provided. 
 The first
five spreadsheets have red tabs. The red tabs indicate that these spreadsheets may have input information to be updated by the user with current data, to provide the required projection information for a given year. 

 

	 	1.	The first red tabbed (input) spreadsheet labeled Summary, provides general information and a table of the projected monthly thermal output. Data is not changed in this
spreadsheet on a regular basis, but as mutually agreed by Chevron and BrightSource. 

  

	 	2.	The second red tabbed spreadsheet provides input concerning hours excluded from BrightSource liability, also known as “Excuse Hours”. This spreadsheet has a
table in a 13 x 365 matrix to represent each possible working hour of the day (from 6:00 to 18:00). The default value is 100%. For each hour where the BrightSource liability is reduced or negated a value from 0% to 100%, should replace the 100% for
that hour. 

  

	 	3.	The third red tabbed spreadsheet provides average hourly direct normal radiation [dnr] in units of wh/sqm. The default values are those that have been generated to
simulate the annual average of tmy2 data from Daggett and Fresno. To calculate the expected production for a given year, a table of the measured dnr from the Chevron plant should be inserted. The table needs to be in the format of 365 (days) x 24
(hours) 

  

	 	4.	The fourth red tabbed spreadsheet provides average hourly wind data in units of meters/second. As with the dnr, to calculate the expected production for a given year, a
table of the measured wind (m/sec) from the Chevron plant should be inserted. The table needs to be in the format of 365 (days) x 24 (hours) 

  

	 	5.	The fifth red tabbed spreadsheet provides average hourly ambient temperature (°C). As with the dnr and wind speed, a table of the measured wind (m/sec) from the
Chevron plant should be inserted to calculate the expected production for a given year. The table needs to be in the format of 365 (days) x 24 (hours). 

 In addition to the five spreadsheets with the input factors there are an additional 10 spreadsheets that are used to calculate the projected production from the Chevron Plant. The calculations are based
on hourly calculations over the year. All the spreadsheets are described briefly on the following pages.

	3.	Excuse Hr 

 This spreadsheet has a table
of daylight hours 6:00 to 18:00 for 365 days a year, showing the BrightSource responsibility, on an hourly basis, for production. Initially the table indicates that BrightSource is required to produce 100% of the warrantee output for each hour. When
calculating the projection for a given year numbers may be replaced with values from 0% to 100%. 
  

	4.	Insolation 

 This spreadsheet has a table
in a 24 x 365 providing insolation (dnr), on an average hourly basis in watts/sqm. Initially this spreadsheet contains the typical dnr expected. This spreadsheet has a red tab marking it as a sheet where data can be input. To check generated output
against expectations, measured data is input to this spreadsheet. 
  

	5.	Wind 

 This spreadsheet has a table in a
24 x 365 matrix providing average hourly wind speeds in meters / second. This spreadsheet has a red tab indicating an input sheet. Measured data can be input, to make projections for a given month / year. 

 

	6.	Temperature 

 This spreadsheet has a table
in a 24 x 365 matrix providing average hourly ambient temperature degrees Celsius. This spreadsheet has a red tab indicating an input sheet. Measured data can be input, to make projections for a given month / year. This is the last of four red
tabbed spreadsheets, where data can be expected to change on a regular basis. 
  

	7.	Consumer Input 

 The spreadsheet has a
table in a 24 x 365 matrix where the consumer input for each hour is calculated based on the operating status of the plant for that hour. The correct of amount of consumer input is chosen from the Summary spreadsheet, depending on the load (100%,
75%, 50, 25, Start-Up, Offline) 
  

	8.	Summary-Hourly 

 This spreadsheet
generates hourly parameters of the plant. The information is provided in a vertical fashion, where each of the 8,760 hours of the year has a line with calculated information, about that hour. 

 

	9.	MWtNet 

 This spreadsheet has a table in a
24 x 365 matrix that provides the hourly output from the solar plant to the consumer (Chevron). The basic formula for calculating the thermal input multiplies the load (as described in the next paragraph) by the nominal capacity of the plant
(29MW) and the consumer input. If the temperature is above [*], then the plant

	10.	Load 

 This spreadsheet has a table in a
24 x 365 matrix where load of the plant is calculated on an hourly basis from 0-1, where 1 would be a full load (29 MWt, net). The hourly load is calculated as follows: 
 Load = MIN ((PotThermal- StartUp – Extra Thermal) / Capacity, 1) 
 PotThermal = the amount of
potential thermal energy that the field could produce (MW) 
 StartUp = the amount of energy required for start-up (MW) 

ExtraTherm = Amount of energy that could be produced by the solar field, above the total amount of energy that can be used by the plant (MW) 

Capacity = Nominal capacity of the plant (MW)

ARTICLE 5. CONTRACT TIME AND SCHEDULE 
  

	5.1	Intentionally deleted. 

  

	5.2	Delays and Extensions Of Time 

  

	 	5.2.1	Time is a material consideration in the performance of the Work. 

  

	 	5.2.2	In the event that Provider requests an extension of the Contract Time, Provider shall furnish justification and supporting documentation, as described in
Section 5.2.3 below, to determine whether Provider is entitled to an extension of time under the Agreement. If Provider is entitled to any extension of time, the determination as to the total number of days’ extension shall be based upon
the justified number of days of delay claimed by Provider and the current Project Schedule. Provider acknowledges and agrees that actual delays in activities which, according to the most current Project Schedule, do not affect activities critical to
completion of the Work within the Contract Time will not be a valid basis for a change to the Contract Time. If Provider is entitled to an extension of the Contract Time, an appropriate Change Order will be issued. 

 

	 	5.2.3	Any claim for an extension of time shall be made in writing to Company within ten (10) days of Provider’s reasonable discovery of actual delay to the Work. In
making a claim for an extension of time, Provider shall provide the following specific information and Company may request additional documentation if necessary to evaluate Provider’s claim for additional time: 

 

	 	1.	Nature of the delay; 

  

	 	2.	Date (or anticipated date) of commencement of delay; 

  

	 	3.	Activities on the Project Schedule affected by the delay, and/or new activities created by the delay, and their relationship with existing activities;

  

	 	4.	Reason for delay; identification of person(s), or organization(s), event(s), or circumstances responsible for the delay as evidenced by daily report entries;

  

	 	5.	Anticipated extent of delay; 

  

	 	6.	Amount of additional extension of time requested by Provider; and 

  

	 	7.	Any recommended action to avoid or minimize additional delays. 

  
 11 

			
	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

 

	 	5.2.4	Subject to Provider’s right to extensions due to Excusable Delay under the Agreement, an extension of Contract Time shall not be granted if, in the exercise of
reasonable prudence, Provider, or anyone for whom Provider is responsible, could have avoided the delay in the progress of the Work. 

  

	5.3	Project Schedule 

  

	 	5.3.1	The Project Schedule describes Provider’s intended method of accomplishing the Work. Such Project Schedule shall be in a form acceptable to Company and shall
demonstrate an expeditious, practicable, and reasonable plan for accomplishing Mechanical Completion within the Contract Time. 

  

	 	5.3.2	The Project Schedule shall identify and take into account accomplishment of such interim milestones, including those identified on Exhibit A-5 and Exhibit B, or
requirements of Company for completion of portions of the Work at times earlier than the full Contract Time, and Provider may use such “float” time elsewhere in the Project Schedule if it does not impact the Project critical path.

  

	 	5.3.3	In accordance with the Agreement, the Project Schedule may be revised to reflect any adjustments extending the Contract Time, including revision to the durations,
sequences, and interrelationships of activities affected by the occurrences permitting such adjustment; provided, however, that any revisions affecting the milestones identified on the Milestone Schedule, Exhibit A-5 will require Company’s
prior written approval. Company shall be entitled to rely on the Project Schedule (and as revised from time to time) in planning and scheduling performance of its obligations under the Contract Documents or of interrelated work by its own forces or
separate contractors. 

  

	 	5.3.4	Provider shall coordinate its Work with Company and all other contractors, lower-tiered subcontractors, and suppliers so as not to unreasonably delay or disrupt their
performance or impact the Project critical path. Oral extensions of the Contract Time shall not be binding on Company. 

  

	5.4	Intentionally deleted. 

 ARTICLE 6:
CHANGES IN THE SCOPE OF WORK AND CLAIMS 
  

	6.1	 Requests for Additional Work. Provider shall perform the Work as specified in Agreement and any Change Orders. Provider is under no obligation
to perform additional work which exceeds the Scope of Work described in the Agreement and written Change Orders. During the performance of Work Company may request Provider to perform additional work, and any such new work shall be authorized by a
written Change Order signed by both Company and Provider. If, during the performance of the Work, Provider is requested in writing to perform work under the Agreement that Provider believes is outside the original Scope of Work or a subsequently
issued Change Order, Provider shall provide written notice of same to Company within ten (10) working days of Provider’s receipt of written notice of such request. If the Work is determined by the Parties to be outside the original Scope
of Work, a Change Order for the additional work shall be issued. If there is a disagreement as to whether said work is within the original Scope of Work, or an approved Change Order scope of work, Provider shall perform such work (subject to
Provider’s right not to implement a Change Order pursuant to Section 1(i)(iv) of the Agreement), but shall do so under protest for additional compensation and/or time; and such protests shall be submitted to Company as a claim for
additional compensation and/or time. Provider and Company will utilize Appendix C – Change Order Procedures to Provider’s Project Execution Plan (08-GE-G-P-002) in

	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

	 	
Exhibit A-3 to the Agreement to document and approve Change Orders to the extent not inconsistent with Section 1(i) of the Agreement or this Article 6. 

 

	6.2	Material Changes in the Scope of Work. 

  

	 	6.2.1	If there is any change to the Scope of Work resulting in additional compensation, the additional compensation shall be determined by mutual agreement in one or more of
the following ways: 

  

	 	1.	By mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized and supported by sufficient substantiating data to permit evaluation; 

 

	 	2.	By unit prices stated in the Contract Documents (if any) or subsequently agreed upon; or 

 

	 	3.	The cost to Company of an increase in the Work, not covered by unit prices or agreed to pursuant to subparagraph 1 above, shall be Provider’s documented direct
costs plus [*] for overhead and profit). Credit to Company for reductions to the Work shall be Provider’s documented direct cost saving, less [*] (for example, if Provider’s documented direct cost saving is [*], the contract price will be
reduced by [*]). 

  

	 	6.2.3	Notwithstanding any dispute regarding any additional compensation or requested adjustment in the Contract Time with respect to a change in the Work, Provider shall
promptly proceed with the Work required in the Agreement and Company shall continue to make payments to Provider in accordance with the Contract Documents. 

 

	6.3	Claims 

  

	 	6.3.1	Other than changes initiated by Company, or as otherwise provided pursuant to the Agreement, Provider shall not be entitled to any additional compensation or adjustment
of Contract Time except in strict compliance with the procedures hereinafter set forth. The failure of Provider to assert any claim within the time limits prescribed herein or in the form or manner required hereby shall be deemed a material
prejudice to the interests of Company; provided that such failure shall not bar assertion of such claim, subject to payment of any damages Company suffers due to such failure. 

 

	 	6.3.2	In the event that Provider contends that any other event or occurrence causes a change in the Work entitling Provider to additional compensation or an adjustment of the
Contract Time or both, Provider shall: 

  

	 	1.	Provide a written notice of claim to Company within ten (10) days after the later of the occurrence of the event or Provider first recognized the condition giving
rise to such claim. Such notice of claim must clearly identify the event or condition that is relied upon and contain a clear statement of why it constitutes a basis for adjustment. 

 

	 	2.	The notice of claim shall include a clear, concise recital of the basis upon which the claim is asserted, including a designation of the provision(s) in the Contract
Documents on which the claim is based and the amount of time and compensation claimed. All costs, expenses or damages, and extensions of time claimed as a result of the alleged change shall be described in reasonable detail and shall be supported
with reasonable documentation. 

  

	 	3.	To the extent that any adjustment to the Contract Time is sought, Provider shall also fully comply with the requirements of Article 5 hereof.

	Confidential	 	Execution Copy

  

 

	 	4.	All claims for any changes, omissions, or extra work or costs shall be submitted in writing by the Provider prior to performance of the work, except in an emergency
which threatens or endangers life or property. No such claim shall be valid unless so made and approved in writing by Company prior to performance of the work. All documentation regarding such claims from the Provider must be submitted to Company
within thirty (30) days of performance of the Work. 

  

	 	6.3.3	Company shall promptly review any claim that was timely submitted by Provider. In conducting this review, Company shall have the right to require Provider to submit
such additional documents, data and other information in Provider’s possession as Company may reasonably require. Provider shall submit any such additional information within fifteen (15) business days. If, upon completion of such review,
Company determines that a Change is justified, Company shall issue a Change Order providing for additional compensation or amending the Contract Time or both as appropriate. If Provider disputes the determination made by Company, as a condition
precedent of any further action to resolve such dispute but subject to Article 21 of the Agreement, Provider must notify Company in writing within five (5) working days following receipt of the decision of such dispute and permit Company
fifteen (15) additional working days to reconsider and, if it deems it appropriate, modify its decision. 

 ARTICLE
7. UNCOVERING OF WORK 
  

	7.1	Company shall inspect the Work at times chosen to avoid delay to Provider’s Work. If any portion of the Work is covered contrary to the requirements of the
Contract Documents or to the express request of Company during construction, Provider shall, if required in writing by Company, uncover such work for Company’s observation. Any defective Work shall be removed and replaced at Provider’s
expense. 

  

	7.2	If any portion of the Work has been covered which Company has not specifically requested to observe prior to being covered or which the Contract Documents did
not state should be observed by Company prior to covering, Company may request to see such Work and it shall be uncovered by Provider. If such Work is found to be in accordance with the Contract Documents, the cost and additional time of uncovering
and replacement shall, by appropriate Change Order, be paid by Company. If such Work is found to be not in accordance with the Contract Documents, Provider shall pay such costs unless the condition was caused by Company, in which event Company shall
be responsible for the payment to Provider of such costs. 

 ARTICLE 8. Intentionally deleted. 

ARTICLE 9. Intentionally deleted. 
 ARTICLE 10. MAKE RIGHT AND WARRANTY EXPENSES AND REPORTING  
  

	10.1	Provider will submit a written make right expense report (“Make Right Expense Report”) to Company in Provider’s Acceptance Test and Annual Production
Test documentation. Such reports shall be itemized and prepared in such detail as Company may reasonably request, and shall include all of Provider’s make right and warranty expenses incurred in its efforts to (1) make right its failure to
pass the Acceptance Test and/or the Annual Production Test, and (2) remedy any failure referred to in Section 1(b)(ii), 1(b)(v), 1(b)(vi) and 1(b)(viii) of the Agreement. Such reports shall be clearly presented and include detailed
invoices, purchase orders, receipts, compilations of labor and engineering hours, and other documents or proof as Company may reasonably request to verify all such expenses.

	10.2	Such expenses shall include only expenses actually incurred that are directly related to (1) Provider’s additions, modifications, or enhancements to
the Work required to successfully complete the Acceptance Test or Annual Production Test or (2) Provider’s expenses incurred to remedy any failure referred to in Sections 1(b)(ii), 1(b)(v), 1(b)(vi) and 1(b)(viii) of the Agreement. This
shall include fully burdened costs, including overhead, for equipment, components, materials, parts, management, engineering, engineering analysis, and labor, whether provided directly by Provider or through Subcontractors required for the
additions, modifications or enhancements to the Work including warranty remedy expenses, including the installation thereof and any removal or uncovering and reinstallation of or integration into already constructed portions of the Project.
Specifically excluded are costs reasonably expected to be incurred for the successful completion of the Acceptance Test or Annual Production Test if no such additions, modifications, or enhancements were required, including internal Provider labor
costs and overhead, ongoing O&M costs, and reasonably expected enhancements to Provider’s proprietary software that would be reasonably expected to be incurred in the normal course of passing the Acceptance Test and Annual Production Test.
If any Heliostats or components thereof are added to the Project for which a cost is included on Exhibit B-1, such cost shall be deemed the cost of the item for the purposes of such expenses.
