--Page 46--

In the formula: △P - price difference to be adjusted;

- The amount of completed quantities to be received by the Contractor as agreed in the payment certificate. This amount does not include price adjustment, detention and payment of the quality deposit, and payment and deduction of the advance payment. If the agreed changes and other amounts have been priced at the current price, they shall not be included;

A - fixed weight (the weight of the part that is not adjustable);

- Variable weight of each adjustable factor (the weight of the part that is adjustable), the proportion of each adjustable factor in the Contract Price;

- The current price index for each adjustable factor, referring to the price index of each adjustable factor within 42 days before the last day of the agreed cycle of the payment certificate;

- The basic price index of each adjustable factor, referring to the price index of each adjustable factor on the base date.

The above adjustable factors, fixed and variable weights and the basic price indexes in the price adjustment formula and their sources shall be stipulated in the Schedule to the Bid Letter, the table of price indexes and weights. A contract not concluded through tender shall be agreed upon by the parties in the Special Terms of the Contract. The price indexes issued by the engineering cost management institution shall be adopted in priority. In the absence of the aforesaid price indexes, the prices issued by the engineering cost management institution shall be adopted instead.

(2) Provisional adjustment of the price difference

If there is no current price index when calculating the adjustment difference, the parties shall agree to adopt the previous price indexes temporarily. If the actual price indexes are adjusted, the parties shall adjust accordingly.

(3) Weight adjustment

If the weight stipulated in the Contract is unreasonable due to the change, it shall be implemented following Article 4.4 (negotiation or determination).

(4) Price adjustment after term delay due to the Contractor

If the project is not completed on schedule due to the Contractor, for the project to be continued after the completion date agreed in the Contract, among the price indexes of on the planned completion date and the actual completion date, the lower one shall be adopted as the current price index when the price adjustment formula is adopted.

① As for the unit price of the material stated in the Priced Bill of Quantities or the Budget Document by the Contractor lower than the benchmark price: unless otherwise stipulated in the Special Terms of the Contract, the excess price should be adjusted following the actual conditions if the unit price of the material during the performance of the Contract exceeds the benchmark price by more than 5% or decreases the unit price stated in Priced Bill of Quantities or Budget Document by more than 5%.

② Regarding the unit price of the material stated in the Priced Bill of Quantities or the Budget Document by the Contractor higher than the benchmark price: unless otherwise stipulated in the Special Terms of the Contract, the excess price should be adjusted following the actual conditions if the unit price of the material during the performance of the Contract below the benchmark price by more than 5% or surpluses the unit price stated in Priced Bill of Quantities or Budget Document by more than 5%.

③ As for the Contractor's price of the material stated in the Priced Bill of Quantities or Budget Document is equal to the benchmark price: unless otherwise stipulated in the Special Terms of the Contract, if the price of the material during the performance of the Contract exceeds the benchmark price by more than ±5%, the excess portion should be adjusted based on the actual condition.

④ The Contractor shall, before purchasing materials, report the quantity and unit price of new materials to the Project Owner for checking. When the Project Owner confirms that they will be used for the project, the Project Owner shall confirm the quantity and unit price of the materials to be purchased. If the Project Owner fails to reply within 5 days upon receipt of the confirmation materials submitted by the Contractor, it shall be deemed as approval and shall be the basis for the adjustment of Contract Price. If the Contractor purchases materials without prior checking by the Project Owner, the Project Owner shall have the right not to adjust the Contract Price. If the Project Owner agrees, the Contract Price may be adjusted.

The aforesaid benchmark price refers to the price of materials and engineering equipment specified by the Project Owner in the bidding documents or the Special Terms of the Contract. The price shall, in principle, be compiled following the information price issued by the provincial or industrial construction authorities or their authorized engineering cost management institutions.

(3) If the change of construction machinery unit price or construction machinery cost beyond the scope stipulated by the provincial or industrial construction authorities or their authorized engineering cost management institution, the Contract Price shall be adjusted following the regulations.

11. Price adjustment

11.1 Adjustment caused by market price fluctuations

This Article of the General Terms of the Contract is amended as follows:

Unless otherwise stipulated in this Contract, no matter how the market price fluctuates, the Contractor shall not adjust the contract price. According to this Contract, the price of concrete, steels (including reinforcing bars in the concrete structure, structural steel (excluding steel tubular goods, crane span structures and supports in installation projects), and premixed grinding shelves (hereinafter referred to as "materials with adjustable prices") can be adjusted when the price increases or decreases by more than 5%, and only the increased or decreased price in excess of 5% can be adjusted. The material difference adjustment is based on price excluding the tax and shall be carried out separately among unit projects. Except for the above-mentioned materials with adjustable prices, labour costs, machinery costs, and other materials and equipment costs shall not be adjusted due to market price fluctuations.

The difference adjustment period is as follows:

1) Structural steels I and concretes: The beginning month of the construction period of the main body of the basement project is the month when the subcrust is poured for the first time, and the end month is the month when the basement roof plate is capped. Both shall be subject to the confirmation of the Project Owner. If there is any document that can prove the Project Owner agrees to delay the term, the difference adjustment period shall be the actually delayed construction period. The beginning month of the construction period of the main body of the single upper structure is the month when

--P162--

2019-12-12 08:36:25

the first layer is concreted, and the end month is the month when the roof plate is capped. Both shall be subject to the confirmation of the Project Owner. If there is any document that can prove the Project Owner agrees to delay the term, the difference adjustment period shall be the actually delayed construction period.

2) Structural steels II and concretes: The construction period from the beginning date to the completion date of the construction of structural steels II shall be subject to the confirmation of the Project Owner. If there is any document that can prove the Project Owner agrees to delay the term, the difference adjustment period shall be the actually delayed construction period.

3) Ready-mixed mortar: The difference adjustment period of ready-mixed mortar shall be the actual construction period from the beginning to the completion of the construction of masonry, painting and terrace of each unit project. The actual construction date shall be subject to the confirmation of the Project Owner. If there is any document that can prove the Project Owner agrees to delay the term, the difference adjustment period shall be the actually delayed construction period.

4) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case of any project delay due to the Contractor, the Contractor shall bear the price difference if the prices of materials with adjustable prices rise during the period of delay, but both parties shall reduce the contract price following the decreased price in excess of 5% if the prices are reduced during the period of delay.

The formula of material price adjustment is as follows:

(i) When A<B

a) When (C-B) /B>5%, increased price = (C-B*1.05) × Qx (1+project tax rate)

b) When (C-B) /B<-5%, decreased price = (B*0.95-C) × Qx (1+project tax rate)

(ii) When A≥B

a) When (C-A) /A>5%, increased price = (C-A*1.05) × Qx (1+project tax rate)

b) When (C-A) /A<-5%, decreased price = (A*0.95-C) × Qx (1+project tax rate)

-Q refers to the quantities calculated according to the calculation rules of quantities in this Contract during the price adjustment period. It shall subject to the quantities for bidding in the Priced Bill of Quantities (in case of any change, the changed quantities shall be subject to the confirmation of the Project Owner).

-A refers to the corresponding unit prices of materials provided by the Contractor in

--P163--

2019-12-12 08:36:25

the Contract.

-B refers to the guide price of the materials market information price in the construction cost information released by the local construction authority where the project in (September) 2019 locates (if there is an upper or lower limit, the lower limit shall prevail).

-C refers to the monthly arithmetic mean value of the materials market information price in the construction cost information released by the local construction authority where the project locates during the price adjustment period (however, the market information price of the corresponding month during the suspension of IS work shall not be calculated).

Payment time of material difference adjustment fees:

Material difference adjustment fees shall be adjusted (paid or deducted) in the project completion settlement price.

The Project Owner accepts no improper offer proposed by the Contractor based on the unit price of any specific item during the pricing for comparison and selection (including but not limited to the deviation in understanding the determination of the work content included in the specific item and the level of quantity and machinery consumption, the judgment of the market price of each production factor, the determination of standards for collecting fees, the calculation rules of quantities, and the costs included in the comprehensive unit price) or any loss or claim claimed due to any other error. Besides, the Contractor shall be liable for any error or fault arising from any misunderstanding of the contract documents or drawings in the documents for comparison and selection or any negligence by the Contractor.

(2) Fine decoration professional subcontracting management cooperation fee shall

--P167--

2019-12-12 08:36:25

be finally determined following the fine decoration professional subcontracting project settlement amount multiplied by the rate of 1%. Other PC services fees shall be fixed following the amount provided in the Priced Bill of Quantities, and shall not be adjusted due to the contract amount or settlement amount or other factors related to the PC services (such as Professional Subcontracted Projects and Independent Contracted Projects). However, if a project involving the PC service is not implemented or transformed into a project implemented by the Contractor, the corresponding PC service fee shall be deducted from the contract price. The Contractor shall not, for any reason, collect any additional PC service fee from the independent Contractor, professional Subcontractor or other relevant parties. If the Contractor collects, it shall be deemed as a breach of Contract. During the settlement, the Project Owner shall have the right to request the Independent Contractor, Professional Subcontractor or other relevant parties to issue a statement on whether the Contractor has additionally charged the PC service fees. If the Contractor additionally charges the PC service fees, the Project Owner shall have the right to deduct the double amount of the additional fees from the completion settlement price as liquidated damages.

(3) Tax: The project is priced as a non-competitive fee, which shall be subject to the national measures for adjusting the VAT rate of construction projects;

(4) Additional construction costs: the civilized construction cost is a non-competitive fee. Whether the price is quoted or not, it shall be deemed to have been quoted in full amount according to the standard rate. The price of items with fixed total price in the Priced Bill of Quantities shall be the fixed price and shall not be adjusted, no matter whether the expenditure of such items is different from the Contractor's estimate due to any change or other reasons, and whether there is any missing item in the Bill. However, if any item does not occur, it shall be deducted from the expense statement of specific items with a fixed total price in the settlement. All expenses incurred in the performance of any item with additional construction fees (including the specific items with fixed total price and fixed unit price) not limited in the Bill of Quantities shall be deemed to have been included in the Contract Price. See Article 10.4 of the Special Terms of the Contract for the calculation method of additional construction costs increased due to the changes confirmed by the Project Owner. Beyond that, the additional construction costs shall not be increased in any case.

(5) Labour cost and machinery cost: The Contract Price shall not be adjusted due to the changes of labour cost and machinery cost (unit price of construction machinery and use fee of construction machinery) (the difference of labour cost in the machinery cost shall not be adjusted).

The quantities provided in the Priced Bill of Quantities will be deemed as the actual quantities confirmed by the participants, and shall not be adjusted (including any error or missing item found later). Except for design changes, all claims for the difference between the quantities and contents in the Bill of Quantities and the actual quantities, project characteristics and work contents will not be accepted. The sub-contractual work with unqualified construction quality shall not be counted. Project settlement cost (including change and visa fees) shall be subject to the final cost confirmed by the Project Owner.

(7) Before signing the Contract, the Contractor has carefully calculated and reviewed the quantities following the drawings, documents for comparison and selection, technical standards and requirements and other contract documents provided by the Project Owner and the on-the-spot survey by the Contractor, and has determined the Contract Price accordingly. The Contractor shall guarantee the sufficiency, completeness and conformity of all project offers completed itself. That is to say, whether the description of each specific items in the Bill of Quantities is sufficiently detailed, the Contractor shall, following the drawings, specifications, technical standards and requirements and other requirements on the work contents in other contract documents, make the offer for specific items with the fixed unit price and total price, and fully consider all costs for all work as indicated in the drawings or as reasonably speculated or foreseen following the drawings, specifications, technical standards and requirements, engineering practices and contract documents in relevant unit price or total price. The contract price has included the risks that the drawings, documents for comparison and selection, technical standards and requirements and site conditions are inconsistent with the Bill of Quantities. The Project Owner does not accept the adjustment of the Contract Price required by the Contractor due to the missing items in the Bill of Quantities, inconsistent project characteristics, inaccurate quantities in the Bill of Quantities and wrong calculations. However, if the Contractor actually completes fewer projects or quantities than those listed in the Bill of Quantities (whether they are required in the drawings, documents for comparison and selection, technical standards and requirements or not), the Project Owner shall have the right to deduct the Contract Price accordingly.

(8) All calculation errors in unit price and subtotal, total, total and aggregate amount in the quotation for comparison and selection are the risks borne by the Contractor. When there are multiple possible explanations for the price, the price shall be calculated according to the explanation of the favourable Project Owner.

(9) Unless a force majeure event stipulated in Article 17 of this Contract occurs, the Contractor shall bear any additional expenses or losses caused by climate change, internal and external environment of the construction site, traffic organization and

--P169--

2019-12-12 08:36:25

intersecting construction.

(10) Any expenditure other than the contract price caused by defects in the detailed design drawings and construction organization design completed by the Contractor shall be borne by the Contractor, even such contents have been reviewed by the Supervisor and Designer and confirmed by the Project Owner.

(11) The change of construction technology and construction scheme shall not be deemed as the basis for the change of the contract price unless the change is due to higher quality standards and specifications proposed by the Project Owner during the construction than those stipulated in the Contract.

(12) For items with the unbalanced price quoted by the Contractor, the Project Owner reserves the right to adjust the unit price of items with a high quoted price that the Project Owner considers to be obviously unreasonable in the Contractor's quotation.

(13) For any work contracted to be done or cooperated by the Contractor (including the changes in the Contract, meeting minutes agreed and designs, and other instructions and requirements of the Project Owner or Supervisor), if the Contractor refuses to complete or fails to complete as required, and the Contractor has not completed after being urged by the Project Owner, the Project Owner can arrange a third party to complete it and can deduct the cost (plus 10% liquidated damages) from the contract price. The Contractor shall also be responsible for the impact on the term.

(14) The Contractor must unconditionally accept the increased quantities which is not clearly stipulated in the Contract but must be added for the project completion, and relevant fees have been included in the Contract Price.

(15) The Project Owner shall have the right to deduct the corresponding project price for the work contents, practices, drawing practices and construction contents specified in the specifications not specified in the project characteristics of the Priced Bill of Quantities.

(16) Where the value or cost of the work stated in this Contract is included or considered in the contract price, they shall be deemed to be included in the sub-contractual work cost of sub-contractual work and cost of specific items in the Priced Bill of Quantities.
