ARTICLE 2

RELATIONSHIP OF OWNER, CONTRACTOR AND SUBCONTRACTORS

2.1 Status of Contractor. The relationship of Contractor to Owner shall be that of an independent contractor. Any provisions of this Agreement which may appear to give Owner or the Owner Representative the right to direct or control Contractor as to details of performing the Work, or to exercise any measure of control over the Work, shall be deemed to mean that Contractor shall follow the desires of Owner or the Owner Representative in the results of the Work only and not in the means by which the Work is to be accomplished, and Contractor shall have the complete right, obligation and exclusive control over the Work as to the manner, means or details as to how to perform the Work. Contractor has no authority to act or make any agreements or representation on behalf of Owner. No employee or agent engaged by Contractor shall be, or shall be deemed to be, an employee or agent of Owner. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to create a master-servant or principal-agent relationship between Contractor, or any of its Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors, and Owner. Nevertheless, Contractor shall strictly comply with all provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the fact that Contractor is an independent contractor does not relieve it from its responsibility to fully, completely, timely and safely perform the Work in strict compliance with this Agreement.

2.2 Key Personnel and Contractor Representative.

A. Key Personnel. Attachment B sets forth Contractor’s organizational chart to be implemented for the Work and also contains a list of key personnel (“Key Personnel” or “Key Persons”) from Contractor’s organization or its Subcontractors’ organization who shall be assigned to the Work. Owner shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time to request that Contractor replace any Key Person with another employee acceptable to Owner. In such event, Contractor shall replace such Key Person without additional expense to Owner. Key Personnel shall not be removed or reassigned without Owner’s prior written approval. Key Personnel shall be devoted full-time to the Work unless expressly stated in Attachment B or permitted by Owner in writing and Key Personnel shall not be removed or reassigned without Owner’s prior written approval. Furthermore, Owner and Contractor acknowledge and agree the continuity of the Key Personnel on this Project is a material requirement of this Agreement, and that replacement of a Key Person will be detrimental to the Owner and the overall quality of the Work. Except where a Key Person has retired, resigned (and not taken employment with any of the Affiliates of Contractor), or is otherwise unavailable beyond the reasonable control of Contractor due to death, disability or serious illness, if Contractor removes or replaces any Key Personnel without Owner’s express prior written approval in accordance with this Section 2.2A, then Contractor shall pay to Owner the sum of Fifty Thousand U.S. Dollars (U.S.$50,000.00) for each Key Person so removed from the Work (“Key Personnel Liquidated Damages”).

B. Contractor Representative. Contractor designates Corey Stone as the Contractor Representative. Notification of a change in Contractor Representative shall be provided in advance, in writing, to Owner. The Contractor Representative is a Key Person.

2.3 Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors. Owner acknowledges and agrees that Contractor intends to have portions of the Work performed by Subcontractors pursuant to written Subcontracts between Contractor and such Subcontractors, and that such Subcontractors may have certain portions of the Work performed by Sub-subcontractors. All Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors shall be reputable, qualified firms with an established record of successful performance in their respective trades performing identical or substantially similar work. All Subcontracts and Sub-subcontracts shall be consistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. NO SUBCONTRACTOR OR SUB-SUBCONTRACTOR IS INTENDED TO BE OR SHALL BE DEEMED A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY OF THIS AGREEMENT. Contractor shall be fully responsible to Owner for the acts and omissions of Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors and of Persons directly or indirectly employed by any of them, as Contractor is for the acts or omissions of Persons directly or indirectly employed by Contractor. The Work performed by any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor is subject to inspection by Owner, Lender and their representatives to the same extent as the Work of Contractor. All Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors and their respective personnel are to be instructed by Contractor in the terms and requirements of Owner-approved safety and environmental protection policies and procedures and shall be expected to comply with such policies and procedures. In the event that any personnel do not adhere to such policies and procedures, such personnel shall be removed by Contractor. In no event shall Contractor be entitled to any Contractor’s Compensation or any adjustment in the Project Schedule as a result of compliance with such policies and procedures or any removal of personnel necessitated by non-compliance. Nothing contained herein shall (i) create any contractual relationship between any Subcontractor and Owner, or (ii) obligate Owner to pay or cause the payment of any amounts to any Subcontractor.

2.4 Subcontracts and Sub-subcontracts.

A. Approved List. Attachment P sets forth a list of Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors that Contractor and Owner have agreed are approved Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors for the performance of the Work. Approval by Owner of any Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors does not relieve Contractor of any responsibilities under this Agreement.

B. Additional Proposed Subcontractors. In the event that Contractor is considering the selection of a Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor not listed on Attachment P that would qualify as a Major Subcontractor or Major Sub-subcontractor, Contractor shall (i) notify Owner of its proposed Major Subcontractor or Major Sub-subcontractor as soon as possible during the selection process and furnish to Owner all information reasonably requested by Owner with respect to Contractor’s selection criteria (including copies of bid packages furnished to prospective Major Subcontractors and Major Sub-subcontractors and the qualifications and responding bids of the proposed Major Subcontractors or Major Sub-subcontractors), and (ii) notify Owner no less than thirty (30) Days prior to the execution of a Major Subcontract with a Major Subcontractor or Major Sub-subcontract with a Major Sub-subcontractor not listed on Attachment P. Owner shall have the discretion, not to be unreasonably exercised, to reject any proposed Major Subcontractor or Major Sub-subcontractor not listed on Attachment P for a Major Subcontract or Major Sub-subcontract. Contractor shall not enter into any Major Subcontract with a proposed Major Subcontractor or Major Sub-subcontract with a Major Sub-subcontractor that is rejected by Owner in accordance with the preceding sentence. Owner shall undertake in good faith to review the information provided by Contractor pursuant to this Section 2.4B expeditiously and shall notify Contractor of its decision to accept or reject a proposed Major Subcontractor or Major Sub-subcontractor as soon as practicable after such decision is made. Failure of Owner to accept a proposed Major Subcontractor or Major Sub-subcontractor within thirty (30) Days shall be deemed to be a rejection of such Major Subcontractor or Major Sub-subcontractor.

C. Other Additional Proposed Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors. For any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor not covered by Sections 2.4A or 2.4B, Contractor shall, within fifteen (15) Days prior to the selection of any such Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor, notify Owner in writing of the selection of such Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor and inform Owner generally what portion of the Work such Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor is performing.

D. Delivery of Subcontracts. Contractor shall furnish Owner with a copy of all Subcontracts within five (5) Days after Owner’s request. Notwithstanding the above, Owner’s receipt and review of any Subcontracts under this Section 2.4 shall not relieve the Contractor of any obligations under this Agreement nor shall such action constitute a waiver of any right or duty afforded Owner under this Agreement, or approval of or acquiescence in a breach hereunder.

E. Terms of Major Subcontracts. In addition to the requirements in Section 2.3 and without in any way relieving Contractor of its full responsibility to Owner for the acts and omissions of Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors, each Major Subcontract and each Major Sub-subcontract shall contain the following provisions:

1. the Major Subcontract and the Major Sub-subcontract may be assigned to Owner or Owner’s Affiliates, at Owner’s sole discretion, without the consent of the respective Major Subcontractor or Major Sub-subcontractor; and

2. the Major Subcontractor and the Major Sub-subcontractor shall comply with and perform for the benefit of Owner all requirements and obligations of Contractor to Owner under this Agreement, as such requirements and obligations are applicable to the performance of the work under the respective Major Subcontract or Major Sub-subcontract, including an indemnity in substance the same as that included in Article 15 and the insurance requirements specified in Article 9.

2. It shall not be sufficient for Contractor or its Subcontractor only to notify One-Call, or its equivalent under Applicable Law, and rely upon information regarding Existing Improvements provided by the Owner or third persons; rather, Contractor shall independently use available technology and instruments to locate and flag Existing Improvements, in addition to making One-Call, or its equivalent under Applicable Law, notifications.

 

11


3. Contractor shall physically verify the identification, location, and marking of Existing Improvements by performing all necessary tests, including probing, hand digging or vacuum unit testing.

In addition, if a Change in Law requires an increase in the statutory burden comprising a portion of the Hourly Rates, then Contractor shall be entitled to a Change Order increasing such Hourly Rates by the required increase in statutory burden(s) due to such Change in Law. Except for any Changes in Law for which Contractor is entitled to a Change Order under this Section 2.5E and Section 6.8A, Contractor hereby waives any right to make any claim for adjustment of the Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation or the Project Schedule in relation to any change in law.

The Recovery Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with GCP and to a similar level of detail as the CPM Schedule, and shall have (unless otherwise specified in writing by Owner) a maximum duration of sixty (60) Days.

B. Within five (5) Business Days of such submittal, Contractor shall participate in a conference with Owner, and with any other Person, including Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors, whom Owner designates to participate, to review and evaluate the Recovery Schedule. Any revisions necessary as a result of this review shall be resubmitted for review by Owner within three (3) Days of the conference. The revised Recovery Schedule shall then be the schedule which Contractor shall use in planning, organizing, directing, coordinating, performing, and executing the Work (including all activities of Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors) for the duration specified in Section 5.5A, to regain compliance with the CPM Schedule.

C. Five (5) Days prior to the expiration of the Recovery Schedule, Contractor shall meet with Owner at the Site to determine the effectiveness of the Recovery Schedule and to determine whether Contractor has regained compliance with the CPM Schedule. At the direction of Owner, one of the following shall happen:

1. If, in the opinion of Owner, Contractor is still behind schedule, Contractor shall be required to prepare another Recovery Schedule pursuant to Section 5.5A above, to take effect during the immediate subsequent pay period or other period selected in writing by Owner. Contractor shall prepare such Recovery Schedule even if Contractor disputes Owner’s opinion.

2. If, in the opinion of Owner, Contractor has sufficiently regained compliance with the CPM Schedule, Contractor shall return to the use of the CPM Schedule.

D. In preparing and executing the Recovery Schedule, Contractor shall take all steps necessary to regain compliance with the CPM Schedule, including establishing additional shifts, hiring additional manpower, paying or authorizing overtime, providing additional Construction Equipment, and resequencing activities.

E. The cost of preparing and performance in accordance with the Recovery Schedule shall be for Contractor’s account.

F. In no event shall Contractor be entitled to any adjustment in the Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation as a result of Owner’s requirement, review and approval of the Recovery Schedule. In addition, Owner’s requirement, review and approval of the Recovery Schedule shall not: (i) relieve Contractor of any obligations for the performance of the Work; (ii) change any Milestone Schedule Date or any Guaranteed Date; (iii) or be construed to establish the reasonableness of the Recovery Schedule.

5.6 Acceleration and Acceleration Schedule. Even if the Work is otherwise in compliance with the CPM Schedule and Milestone Schedule Dates, Owner may, at any time, direct Contractor by unilateral or mutually agreed

 

22


Change Order to accelerate the Work by, among other things, establishing additional shifts, paying or authorizing overtime, providing additional Construction Equipment or expediting Equipment, provided, however, in no event shall Owner order with an unilateral Change Order acceleration of the Work requiring Contractor to achieve Mechanical Completion or Final Completion prior to the respective, original Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date or the Guaranteed Final Completion Date. In the event of this directive, Owner’s sole liability shall be to pay to Contractor any documented costs (plus the Contractor Fee and Corporate Overhead associated with such costs) clearly and solely attributable to such acceleration. Any adjustment to the Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation or any other Changed Criteria that the Parties agree will be changed by such acceleration for Owner’s acceleration of the Work shall be implemented by Change Order. If Owner directs Contractor to accelerate the Work, Contractor shall immediately commence and diligently perform the acceleration of the Work as directed by Owner, and shall prepare a schedule to explain and display how it intends to accelerate the Work and how that acceleration will affect a critical path of the CPM Schedule (the “Acceleration Schedule”). With respect to the Acceleration Schedule, Contractor shall do the following:

A. No later than the tenth (10th) Day after such directive, Contractor shall prepare the Acceleration Schedule and submit it to Owner for its review. The Acceleration Schedule shall represent Contractor’s best judgment as to how it shall satisfy Owner’s acceleration directive. The Acceleration Schedule shall be prepared using GCP and to a similar level of detail as the CPM Schedule.

B. On the tenth (10th) Day after such directive (or such longer time as specified in writing by Owner), Contractor shall participate in a conference with Owner, and with any other Person, including Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors, whom Owner designates to participate, to review and evaluate the Acceleration Schedule. Any revisions to the Acceleration Schedule necessary as a result of this review shall be resubmitted for review by Owner no later than the fifth (5th) Day of such meeting or such other date as Owner may permit. The revised Acceleration Schedule shall then be the schedule which Contractor shall use in planning, organizing, directing, coordinating, performing, and executing that portion of the Work that is affected by such acceleration, with the CPM Schedule governing the performance of all other Work.

Owner’s review and approval of the Acceleration Schedule shall not constitute an independent evaluation or determination by Owner of the workability, feasibility, or reasonableness of that schedule.

ARTICLE 6

CHANGES; FORCE MAJEURE; AND OWNER-CAUSED DELAY

6.1 Change Orders Requested by Owner. Owner shall be entitled to a Change Order upon request in accordance with this Section 6.1.

A. If Owner submits to Contractor in writing a duly signed proposed Change Order, Contractor must respond to Owner within five (5) Days with a written statement setting forth the effect, if any, which such proposed Change Order would have on the Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation, the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date, the Guaranteed Final Completion Date or any other obligation or potential liability of Contractor hereunder (collectively or individually, the “Changed Criteria”). The written statement shall be in the form of Schedule D-3, and shall include all information required by Section 6.6B.

B. If the Parties agree on such Changed Criteria of the proposed Change Order (or modify such Change Order so that the Parties agree on such Changed Criteria), the Parties shall execute such Change Order, which shall be in the form of Schedule D-1 and such Change Order shall become binding on the Parties, as part of this Agreement.

C. If the Parties cannot agree on such Changed Criteria of the proposed Change Order within ten (10) Business Days of Contractor’s receipt of Owner’s proposed Change Order, or if Owner desires that the proposed changed Work set forth in the proposed Change Order commence immediately without the requirement of a written statement by Contractor as required under Section 6.1A, Owner may, by issuance of a unilateral Change Order in the form attached hereto as Schedule D-2, require Contractor to commence and perform the changed Work specified in the unilateral Change Order, at Owner’s option, either (i) on a time and materials basis using the rates set forth in Schedule D-4 or, if not therein, at rates not to exceed then-current market rates with the effect of such unilateral Change Order on the Changed Criteria (or if the Parties agree on the effect of such unilateral Change Order for some but not all of the Changed Criteria, the impact of each of the components of the Changed Criteria on which the Parties disagree) to be determined as soon as possible, or (ii)

 

23


in accordance with the outcome of the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article 16; provided, however, that Contractor shall perform the Work as specified in such unilateral Change Order and Owner shall continue to pay Contractor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any previously agreed Change Orders pending resolution of the Dispute. When Owner and Contractor agree on the effect of such unilateral Change Order on all of the Changed Criteria, such agreement shall be recorded by execution by the Parties of a Change Order in the form attached hereto as Schedule D-1, which shall supersede the unilateral Change Order previously issued and relating to such changed Work. Contractor shall be considered to be in Default under Section 14.1 should it (i) fail to commence the performance of the changed Work or other obligations required in such unilateral Change Order within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such unilateral Change Order (or within such other time specified in such unilateral Change Order) or (ii) fail to diligently perform the changed Work or other obligations required in such unilateral Change Order.

D. If Owner omits Work by a Change Order, Owner may subsequently perform such Work itself or have it carried out by other contractors and any one or more omissions will not constitute a basis to allege that Owner has repudiated or breached this Agreement, no matter the extent or timing thereof. In determining the amount to be deducted from the Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation for any change that results in a savings to Contractor, such deduction will include a reasonable sum for Contractor’s overhead and profit.

6.2 Change Orders Requested by Contractor.

A. Contractor shall only have the right to request a Change Order in the event of any of the following occurrences:

1. Force Majeure to the extent allowed under Section 6.8A;

2. Acceleration of the Work ordered by Owner pursuant to Section 5.6;

3. Suspension in Work ordered by Owner pursuant to Section 14.3;

4. Owner’s failure to provide (i) Site access in accordance with the schedule included in Attachment M, or (ii) Owner-Supplied Equipment in accordance with the schedule in Attachment N;

5. Incomplete, inaccurate or inadequate information in the Scope of Work or Design Basis listed in Attachment A (including all Drawings and Specifications) or in any additional design information provided by Owner (including any additional Drawings and Specifications and updates thereto) that has a material adverse effect on Contractor’s cost of performing the Work or ability to perform any obligation under this Agreement (and with respect to delays, to the extent permitted under Section 6.9), subject to Section 2.5A and provided that Contractor has complied with all requirements of Section 2.5A (including with respect to notice); or,

6. To the extent expressly permitted under Section 2.5B.1, Section 2.5E, Section 6.4, Section 6.9, or Section 12.2A.

B. Should Contractor desire to request a Change Order under this Section 6.2, Contractor shall, pursuant to Section 6.6, notify Owner in writing and issue to Owner, at Contractor’s expense, a request for a proposed Change Order in the form of Schedule D-3, a detailed explanation of the proposed change and Contractor’s reasons for proposing the change, all documentation necessary to verify the effects of the change on the Changed Criteria, and all other information required by Section 6.6.

C. If Owner agrees that a Change Order is necessary and agrees with Contractor’s statement regarding the effect of the proposed Change Order on the Changed Criteria, then Owner shall issue such Change Order, which shall be in the form of Schedule D-1, and such Change Order shall become binding on the Parties as part of this Agreement upon execution thereof by the Parties. Owner shall be entitled to decline a Change Order with respect to any request by Contractor for a Change Order if the Change Order request, when submitted, is not adequately documented and supported by Contractor as required under this Agreement.

D. If the Parties agree that Contractor is entitled to a Change Order but cannot agree on the effect of the proposed Change Order on the Changed Criteria within thirty (30) Days of Owner’s receipt of Contractor’s

 

24


written notice and proposed Change Order and all other required information, or if Owner desires that the proposed changed Work set forth in the proposed Change Order commence immediately, the rights, obligations and procedures set forth in Section 6.1C are applicable.

E. If the Parties cannot agree upon whether Contractor is entitled to a Change Order within thirty (30) Days of Owner’s receipt of Contractor’s written notice and proposed Change Order, then the dispute shall be resolved as provided in ARTICLE 16. Pending resolution of the dispute, Contractor shall continue to perform the Work required under this Agreement, and Owner shall continue to pay Contractor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, any Change Orders and any previously agreed or unilateral Change Orders.

6.3 Contractor Documentation. If a Change Order is executed on a time and materials basis pursuant to Section 6.1C or 6.2D, then interim payments shall be made to Contractor in accordance with the terms of Section 7.2 for such unilateral Change Order Work; provided that the Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation shall not be adjusted unless and until a mutual Change Order is executed by the Parties that supersedes the unilateral Change Order (and such mutual Change Order adjusts the Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation) or the dispute underlying the unilateral Change Order is resolved in accordance with Article 16 requiring an adjustment to the Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation. Contractor shall use reasonable efforts to minimize such costs (consistent with the requirements of this Agreement) and shall provide Owner with options for reducing such costs whenever possible. The foregoing costs shall be supported by reasonable documentation, including daily work logs, time sheets and receipts.

6.4 Adjustments to Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation. Contractor acknowledges that a change to the Scope of Work or the occurrence of any other event does not, of itself, entitle Contractor to an adjustment to the Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation shall only be adjusted pursuant to Section 6.2A.2 and Schedule J-5, and in such case, the Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation shall be increased or decreased, as applicable, as set forth in the Change Order. Contractor shall have no entitlement to any other increase in the Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation, unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing and implement it in a Change Order.

6.5 Change Orders Act as Accord and Satisfaction. Change Orders agreed pursuant to Section 6.1B or 6.2C by the Parties, and unilateral Change Orders entered into pursuant to Section 6.1C or 6.2D on a time and materials basis and which the Parties have subsequently agreed upon the effect of such unilateral Change Order and executed a superseding and mutually agreed upon Change Order as provided in Section 6.1B or 6.2C shall constitute a full and final settlement and accord and satisfaction of all effects of the change as described in the Change Order upon the Changed Criteria and shall be deemed to compensate Contractor fully for such change. Accordingly, Contractor expressly waives and releases any and all right to make a claim or demand or to take any action or proceeding against Owner for any other consequences arising out of, relating to, or resulting from such change reflected in such Change Order, whether the consequences result from such change reflected in such Change Order, including any claims or demands that any Change Order or number of Change Orders, individually or in the aggregate, have impacted the unchanged Work.

6.6 Timing Requirements for Notifications and Change Order Requests by Contractor. Should Contractor desire to seek an adjustment to the Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation, the Project Schedule, the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date or Guaranteed Final Completion Date, or any other modification to any other obligation of Contractor under this Agreement for any circumstance that Contractor has reason to believe may give rise to a right to request the issuance of a Change Order, Contractor shall, with respect to each such circumstance:

A. notify Owner in writing of the existence of such circumstance within seven (7) Days of the date that Contractor knew or reasonably should have known in accordance with GCP of the first occurrence or beginning of such circumstance, provided that if such circumstance is an emergency, notice shall be given immediately. In such notice, Contractor shall state in detail all known and presumed facts upon which its claim is based, including the character, duration and extent of such circumstance, the date Contractor first knew of such circumstance, any activities impacted by such circumstance, the cost and time consequences of such circumstance and any other details or information that are expressly required under this Agreement. Contractor shall only be required to comply with the notice requirements of this Section 6.6A once for continuing circumstances, provided the notice expressly states that the circumstance is continuing and includes Contractor’s best estimate of the time and cost consequences of such circumstance; and

B. submit to Owner a request for a proposed Change Order as soon as reasonably practicable after giving Owner written notice but in no event later than seven (7) Days after the completion of each such

 

25


circumstance, together with a written statement (i) detailing why Contractor believes that a Change Order should be issued, plus all documentation reasonably requested by or necessary for Owner to determine the factors necessitating the possibility of a Change Order and all other information and details expressly required under this Agreement; and (ii) setting forth the effect, if any, which such proposed Change Order would have for the Work on any of the Changed Criteria.

The Parties acknowledge that Owner will be prejudiced if Contractor fails to provide the notices and proposed Change Orders as required under this Section 6.6, and agree that such requirements are an express condition precedent necessary to any right for an adjustment in the Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation, the Project Schedule, the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date or Guaranteed Final Completion Date, any Work, or any other modification to any other obligation of Contractor under this Agreement. Verbal notice, shortness of time, or Owner’s actual knowledge of a particular circumstance shall not waive, satisfy, discharge or otherwise excuse Contractor’s strict compliance with this Section 6.6.

6.7 Adjustment Only Through Change Order. No change in the requirements of this Agreement, whether an addition to, deletion from, suspension of or modification to this Agreement, including any Work, shall be the basis for an adjustment for any change in the Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation, the Project Schedule (including the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date or Guaranteed Final Completion Date), any Work or any other obligations of Contractor or right of Owner under this Agreement unless and until such addition, deletion, suspension or modification has been authorized by a Change Order executed and issued in accordance with and in strict compliance with the requirements of this Article 6. Contractor shall not perform any change in the Work unless and until such change is authorized pursuant to this Article 6, and should Contractor perform or claim to perform any changes in the Work prior to authorization by Change Order, all such costs and expenses incurred by Contractor shall be for Contractor’s account. No course of conduct, dealings or verbal agreement between the Parties, nor express or implied acceptance of additions, deletions, suspensions or modifications to this Agreement, including any Work, and no claim that Owner has been unjustly enriched by any such addition, deletion, suspension or modification to this Agreement, whether or not there is in fact any such unjust enrichment, shall be the basis for any claim for an adjustment in the Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation, the Project Schedule (including the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date or Guaranteed Final Completion Date), any Work or any other obligations of Contractor under this Agreement.

6.8 Force Majeure.

A. Contractor Relief. If the commencement, prosecution or completion of any Work is delayed by Force Majeure, then Contractor shall be entitled to an extension to the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date if such delay affects the performance of any Work that is on the critical path of the CPM Schedule and causes Contractor to complete the Work beyond the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date, but only if Contractor is unable to proceed with other portions of the Work so as not to cause a delay in the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date, and Contractor complies with the notice and Change Order request requirements in Section 6.6 and the mitigation requirements in Section 6.11. The Parties agree that Contractor’s sole remedy for such delay shall be an adjustment to the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date pursuant to a Change Order. Any adjustment to the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion shall be recorded in a Change Order.

B. Owner Relief. Subject to Section 6.8C, Owner’s obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended to the extent that performance of such obligations is delayed by Force Majeure.

C. Payment Obligations. No obligation of a Party to pay moneys under or pursuant to this Agreement shall be excused by reason of Force Majeure.

6.9 Delay Caused by Owner or Changes in the Work. Should Owner delay the commencement, prosecution or completion of any Work, and if such delay is not in any way attributable to Contractor or its Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors but is caused by Owner’s material breach of an express obligation of Owner under this Agreement or is caused by Owner’s ordering a change in the Work (provided that a Change Order has been issued in accordance with Section 6.1), then Contractor shall be entitled to an extension to the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date if (i) such delay affects the performance of any Work that is on the critical path of the CPM Schedule, (ii) such delay causes Contractor to complete the Work beyond the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date, (iii) Contractor is unable to proceed with other portions of the Work so as not to cause a delay in the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date and (iv) Contractor complies with the notice and Change Order request requirements in Section 6.6 and the mitigation requirements of Section 6.11. The Parties agree that Contractor’s sole remedy for such delay shall be an adjustment to the Guaranteed

 

26


Mechanical Completion Date pursuant to a Change Order. The Parties further agree that if they execute a Change Order with respect to any change in the Work described in this Section 6.9, any delay arising out of such change in the Work and meeting the requirements of this Section 6.9 shall be included in the Change Order incorporating such change in the Work. Any adjustment to the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion shall be recorded in a Change Order.

6.10 Delay. For the purposes of Sections 6.8 and 6.9, the term “delay” shall include hindrances, disruptions or obstructions, or any other similar term in the industry and the resulting impact from such hindrances, disruptions or obstructions, including inefficiency, impact, ripple or lost production.

6.11 Contractor Obligation to Mitigate Delay. With respect to Sections 6.8 and 6.9, in no event shall Contractor be entitled to any adjustment to the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date or the Project Schedule for that portion of delay to the extent Contractor could have taken, but failed to take, reasonable actions to mitigate such delay.

ARTICLE 7

CONTRACTOR’S COMPENSATION, ESTIMATED TOTAL CONTRACTOR’S COMPENSATION, THE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE AND PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR

7.1 Contractor’s Compensation. As compensation in full to Contractor for the full and complete performance of the Work and all of Contractor’s other obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Work, Owner shall pay and Contractor shall accept sum of: (a) a Contractor Fee as described in Section 7.1C; (b) Corporate Overhead as described in Section 7.1D, (c) Allowable Costs as described in Section 7.1E; and (d) an Incentive Payment, if any, as described in Section 7.1F (together, the “Contractor’s Compensation”). Contractor’s Compensation is subject to adjustment only as provided in Article 6, and includes all Taxes, costs, charges, and expenses of whatever nature applicable to the Work. For the avoidance of doubt, Contractor’s Compensation does not include Texas Sales and Use Taxes on Equipment, but does include Texas Sales and Use Taxes on any purchase, lease, or rental of Construction Equipment or any purchase of consumable items (as defined in 34 Tex. Admin. Code Section 3.291(a)(3)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Contractor shall not charge and Owner shall not be required to pay any amounts which would otherwise be considered Contractor’s Compensation if such Work arises out of or relates to Contractor’s negligence or Contractor’s Defective Work (except as otherwise set forth in Section 12.2C). The Contract Price is separated, in accordance with the definition of a separated contract as defined in 34 Tex. Admin. Code Rule §3.291(a)(13), as follows:

 

  A. Aggregate Equipment Price. Two million two hundred eighty seven thousand seven hundred and seventy seven U.S. Dollars (U.S.$2,287,777) for all Equipment for the Project (“Aggregate Equipment Price”). Each item of Equipment and its respective Equipment Price is listed in the Equipment list referenced in Section 4.5A.2 (which may be changed by Change Order in accordance with Section 4.5A.2). The Aggregate Equipment Price includes the cost of all Equipment, including markup, overhead, profit and freight, but excluding labor.

 

  B. Aggregate Labor and Skills Price. Twelve million eighty thousand nine hundred and one U.S. Dollars (U.S.$12,080,901) for all Work in this Agreement other than for Equipment (the “Aggregate Labor and Skills Price”), which includes all labor, engineering, design, services, installation, consumables, Construction Equipment, freight, overhead, profit and all other items of whatever nature applicable to the Work, inclusive of the Contractor Fee, Corporate Overhead and Allowable Costs as defined in this Section.

 

  C. Contractor Fee. Owner shall pay Contractor a fixed percentage markup on Hourly Rates for Work satisfactorily performed by Contractor, as further defined in Schedule J-1 (“Contractor Fee”). The Contractor Fee shall be payable Monthly for the applicable amount calculated as set forth in Schedule J-1. The Contractor Fee shall not be subject to adjustment except as specified in Schedule J-1.

 

  D. Corporate Overhead. Owner shall pay Contractor a fixed percentage markup on Hourly Rates for Work satisfactorily performed by Contractor, as further defined in Schedule J-1 (“Corporate Overhead”). Corporate Overhead shall be payable Monthly for the applicable amount calculated as set forth in Schedule J-1. The Corporate Overhead shall not be subject to adjustment except as specified Schedule J-1.

 

27


  E. Allowable Costs. Owner shall pay Contractor those costs, charges and expenses incurred by Contractor in the performance of the Work and payable in accordance with Attachment J, as “Allowable Costs”. Allowable Costs include:

 

  1. payment on the basis of the Hourly Rates for all Contractor personnel working on the Work. A listing of Project reimbursable personnel and categories, together with the Hourly Rates payable for each person or category is set forth in Schedule J-2; and

 

  2. other Reimbursable Costs paid or incurred by Contractor in the performance of the Work, in accordance with as the provisions for such costs set forth in Schedule J-1.

The Allowable Costs shall be net of any interest, commission, offset credits, rebates or other direct or indirect payment received by Contractor from third parties incident to the performance of the Work. Contractor shall remit to Owner any such amounts received.

 

  F. Incentive Payment. Contractor may be entitled to an incentive payment upon completion of the Work and Project (“Incentive Payment”), determined and payable in accordance with Schedule J-5.

7.2 Interim Payments.

A. Invoices. Every two (2) weeks, Contractor shall submit to Owner an Invoice that: (i) includes a detailed description of all Allowable Costs actually incurred since the last Invoice (“Payment Period”), and (ii) identifies the Contractor Fee earned under Section 7.1A during the Payment Period and Corporate Overhead earned under Section 7.1B during the Payment Period, all less Retainage. The description of the Allowable Costs under Section 7.1C (“Hourly Rates Allowable Costs”) shall be broken down on a per-person basis and shall include a detailed calculation of the Hourly Rates Allowable Costs, including: (i) each of Contractor’s, Subcontractor’s and agency personnel to be included in the Invoice (as determined by Section 7.1C, Attachment A and Attachment J) and (ii) man-hours for each such personnel and a description of the Work performed by each such personnel.

B. Payments.

1. All Invoices shall be in the form of Attachment G, and shall include all documentation supporting its request for payment as required under this Agreement. Contractor shall provide documentation such as invoices and receipts supporting all amounts billed for unilateral Change Orders issued pursuant to Section 6.1C or 6.2D. Each payment shall be subject to Owner’s right to withhold payments under this Agreement, including Section 7.5. Payments shall be made in U.S. Dollars to an account designated by Contractor. Invoices shall not include amounts for Equipment which has not been delivered to and maintained at the Site.

2. Owner shall make an initial payment in the amount of One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand U.S. Dollars U.S.$1,250,000 within twenty (20) Days after the Effective Date and receipt of an Invoice therefor. The first Two Hundred Fifty Thousand U.S. Dollars (U.S.$250,000) of the initial payment shall be treated as full payment of Allowable Costs for Work performed prior to the Effective Date (which shall be treated as Work under this Agreement) and the remaining One Million U.S. Dollars (U.S.$1,000,000) of the initial payment shall be treated as an advance payment against future Allowable Costs incurred after the Effective Date. For each Invoice after the invoice for the initial payment, the first U.S.$200,000 of such Invoice (or the entire Invoice amount if less than U.S.$200,000) shall be deemed to have been paid, and credited against such Invoice, by a corresponding portion of the initial payment, until One Million U.S. Dollars (U.S.$1,000,000) of the initial payment has been fully reconciled against Allowable Costs actually incurred after the Effective Date.

C. Interim Lien and Claim Waivers. Each Invoice received by Owner prior to Final Completion of the Project shall be accompanied by (i) fully executed Interim Lien and Claim Waivers from Contractor in the form set forth in Schedule I-1 and Schedule I-2 for all Work performed through the date for which payment is requested, (ii) fully executed Interim Lien and Claim Waivers from each Subcontractor in the form set forth in Schedule I-3 and Schedule I-4 for all Work performed through the date for which payment is requested and (iii) if requested by Owner, fully executed Interim Lien and Claim Waivers from all Sub-subcontractors requested in

 

28


substantially the form set forth in Schedule I-3 and Schedule I-4 for all Work performed through the date for which payment is requested. Interim Lien and Claim Waivers, however, shall not be required from Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors until they have performed Work, and Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors shall be required to submit additional Interim Lien and Claim Waivers only if they have performed Work not covered by a previous Interim Lien and Claim Waiver. Submission of all Interim Lien and Claim Waivers is a condition precedent to payment of any Invoice.

D. Review and Approval. Each Invoice shall be reviewed by Owner and, upon Owner’s reasonable request, Contractor shall furnish such supporting documentation and certificates and provide such further information as may be reasonably requested. Unless disputed by Owner, each Invoice (less the Retainage and any withholdings allowed under this Agreement) shall be due and payable thirty (30) Days after it, and all documentation required under this Agreement, is received by Owner. If an Invoice is disputed by Owner, then payment shall be made for all undisputed amounts and the Dispute shall be resolved pursuant to ARTICLE 16. Payment on disputed amounts shall be made as soon as such dispute is resolved.

E. Invoices Containing Stale Expenses. Contractor shall timely list in each Invoice and bill in each of its Invoices all amounts as required under this Article 7. Without relieving Contractor of its obligations under this Agreement, should Owner fail to require such Interim or Final Lien and Claim Waivers, as required under this Agreement, which would otherwise act as a waiver of Contractor’s right to seek the recovery of amounts not timely billed in accordance with this Agreement, Contractor agrees that it shall not submit in any Invoice any amounts for the Work performed more than 120 days after such Work were performed. In no event shall this Section 7.2E be interpreted to allow Contractor to bill Owner any additional amounts after the Invoice for Final Completion has been submitted to Owner.

7.3 Final Completion and Final Payment. Upon Final Completion of the Project, Contractor shall, in addition to any other requirements in this Agreement for achieving Final Completion, including those requirements set forth in Section 1.1 for the definition of Final Completion, submit to Owner a fully executed final Invoice in the form attached hereto as Attachment G, along with (i) a statement summarizing and reconciling all previous Invoices, payments and Change Orders, (ii) an affidavit that all payrolls, Taxes, liens, charges, claims, demands, judgments, security interests, bills for Equipment, and any other indebtedness connected with the Work have been paid, including Texas Sales and Use Tax which Contractor is required under the Agreement to pay, (iii) fully executed Final Lien and Claim Waivers from Contractor in the form of Schedule I-5 and Schedule I-6, (iv) fully executed Final Lien and Claim Waivers from each Subcontractor in the form set forth in Schedule I-7 and Schedule I-8, and (v) if requested by Owner, fully executed Final Lien and Claim Waivers from each Sub-subcontractor in substantially the form set forth in Schedule I-7 and Schedule I-8. No later than thirty (30) Days after receipt by Owner of such final Invoice and all requested documentation, and achieving Final Completion, Owner shall, subject to its rights to withhold payment under this Agreement, pay Contractor the balance of Contractor’s Compensation, including any Incentive Payment and remaining Retainage.

7.4 Payments Not Acceptance of Work. Owner shall not be obligated to make any payments hereunder or release any Retainage or payments withheld, at any time in which (i) a Contractor Default shall have occurred and is continuing, or (ii) an event has occurred which, with the passage of time, will constitute a Contractor Default. Owner may, upon prior written notice to Contractor, offset any amount due and payable from Contractor to Owner against any amount due and payable to Contractor hereunder. No payment made hereunder by Owner shall be considered as approval or acceptance of any Work by Owner or a waiver of any claim or right Owner may have hereunder. All payments shall be subject to correction or adjustment in subsequent payments.

7.5 Payments Withheld. In addition to Retainage and disputed amounts set forth in an Invoice, Owner may, in addition to any other rights under this Agreement, at law or in equity, with written notice to Contractor of the reasoning and amount, withhold payment on an Invoice or a portion thereof in an amount and to such extent as may be reasonably necessary to protect Owner from loss due to:

A. Defective Work not remedied in accordance with this Agreement;

B. any breach by Contractor of any term or provision of this Agreement;

C. the assessment of any fines or penalties against Owner as a result of Contractor’s failure to comply with Applicable Law;

 

29


D. amounts paid by Owner to Contractor in a preceding month incorrectly or for which there was insufficient or inaccurate supporting information;

E. failure of Contractor to make payments to Subcontractors of undisputed amounts as required under their respective Subcontracts;

F. any other documented costs or liabilities which Owner has incurred for which Contractor is responsible;

G. liens or other encumbrances on all or a portion of the Site or the Work, which are filed by any Subcontractor, any Sub-subcontractor or any other Person acting through or under any of them;

H. Liquidated Damages which Contractor owes;

I. damage or loss to the Existing Improvements or Existing Facilities caused by Contractor or any of its Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors for which Contractor is liable under this Agreement;

J. failure of Contractor to comply with its Monthly Progress Reporting obligations and scheduling obligations under this Agreement, including as set forth in Sections 3.12, 5.5, and 5.6; or

K. any other reason for which Owner is entitled to withhold payment under this Agreement.

Owner shall pay Contractor the amount withheld if Contractor (i) pays, satisfies or discharges the applicable claim of Owner against Contractor under or by virtue of this Agreement and provides Owner with reasonable evidence of such payment, satisfaction or discharge or (ii) cures all such breaches and Defaults in the performance of this Agreement.

7.6 Release of Retainage. Within thirty (30) Days after Mechanical Completion and Owner’s receipt of an Invoice therefor, Owner shall, subject to its right to withhold under this Agreement, release to Contractor all Retainage other than two hundred percent (200%) of the sum of the value of all Punchlist Work. Subject to Owner’s right to withhold under this Agreement, all remaining Retainage shall be released with the final payment made pursuant to Section 7.3.

ARTICLE 11

MECHANICAL COMPLETION AND FINAL COMPLETION

11.1 Notice and Requirements for Mechanical Completion. Contractor shall comply with all requirements for Mechanical Completion herein, including as set forth in the definition of the term Mechanical Completion under Section 1.1. Upon achieving all requirements under this Agreement for Mechanical Completion, Contractor shall certify to Owner in the form of Schedule R-1 (“Mechanical Completion Certificate”) that all of the requirements under this Agreement for Mechanical Completion have occurred and provide to Owner all supporting documentation as may be required to establish that the requirements for Mechanical Completion have been met. Owner shall notify Contractor whether it accepts or rejects the Mechanical Completion Certificate within fifteen (15) Days following Owner’s receipt thereof. All Work shall continue during pendency of Owner’s review of the Mechanical Completion Certificate. Acceptance of such Mechanical Completion Certificate shall be evidenced by Owner’s signature on such Mechanical Completion Certificate, which shall be forwarded to Contractor with such notice. If Owner does not agree that Mechanical Completion has occurred, then Owner shall state the basis for its rejection in reasonable detail in a written notice provided to Contractor. The Parties shall thereupon promptly and in good faith confer and make all reasonable efforts to resolve such issue. In the event such issue is not resolved within ten (10) Business Days of the delivery by Owner of its notice, Owner and Contractor shall resolve the dispute in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures provided for under ARTICLE 16 herein. Owner’s acceptance shall not relieve Contractor of any of its obligations to perform the Work in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.

11.2 Punchlist. Prior to Mechanical Completion, Owner and Contractor shall inspect the Work, and Contractor shall prepare a proposed Punchlist of items identified as needing to be completed or corrected as a result of such inspection. Contractor shall promptly provide the proposed Punchlist to Owner for its review and written approval, together with an estimate of the time and cost necessary to complete or correct each Punchlist item. Contractor shall add to the proposed Punchlist any Punchlist items identified by Owner during its review, and Contractor shall immediately initiate measures to complete or correct, as appropriate, any item on Contractor’s proposed Punchlist or otherwise that Owner in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, believes must be completed or corrected to achieve Mechanical Completion. Upon Contractor’s completion or correction of any items necessary to achieve Mechanical Completion and Owner’s written approval of Contractor’s proposed Punchlist, as modified by any Owner additions, such Punchlist shall govern Contractor’s performance of the Punchlist items; provided, however, Contractor shall add to the Punchlist any items of a Punchlist nature that are discovered by Owner or Contractor prior to Final Completion of the Project, and further provided that the failure to include any items on the Punchlist shall not alter the responsibility of Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. All Work on the Punchlist shall be completed by the Guaranteed Final Completion Date, or Owner may, in addition to any other rights that it may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity, complete such Punchlist Work at the reasonable expense of Contractor. In the event Owner elects to complete such Punchlist Work, Contractor shall immediately pay Owner (directly or by offset, at Owner’s sole discretion), all reasonable and necessary additional costs and expenses incurred in performing such Punchlist Work.

32


(“Final Completion Certificate”) that all of the requirements under this Agreement for Final Completion have occurred.

Nothing in this Article 11 shall in any way modify or alter Contractor’s obligations under Article 12.

ARTICLE 12

WARRANTY AND CORRECTION OF WORK

12.1 Warranty.

A. General. Any Work, or component thereof, that is not in conformity with any warranties set forth in this Article 12 (referred to individually as “Warranty” or collectively as “Warranties”) is defective (“Defective”) and contains a defect (“Defect”).

B. Warranty of Work. Contractor hereby warrants that the Work, including Equipment and each component thereof, shall be: (i) performed in the most diligent, efficient, trustworthy and workmanlike manner, according to the highest professional standards and practices in the field; (ii) new, complete, fit for the purposes intended, of suitable grade for the intended function and use and free from faults and defects in material and workmanship; (iii) in accordance with all of the requirements of this Agreement, including in accordance with Applicable Law and Applicable Codes and Standards, and without limitation of any of the Warranties, in compliance with GCP; and (iv) free from encumbrances to title, as set forth in greater detail in Section 8.1.

C. Assignment and Enforcement of Subcontractor Warranties. Contractor shall obtain warranties from Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors that meet or exceed the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however, Contractor shall not in any way be relieved of its responsibilities and liability to Owner under this Agreement, regardless of whether such Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor warranties meet the requirements of this Agreement, as Contractor shall be fully responsible and liable to Owner for its Warranty and Corrective Work obligations and liability under this Agreement for all Work. All such warranties shall be deemed to run to the benefit of Owner and Contractor. All such warranties, with duly executed instruments assigning the warranties to Owner, shall be delivered to Owner upon Mechanical Completion. All warranties provided by any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor shall be in such form as to permit direct enforcement by Contractor or Owner against any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor whose warranty is called for, and Contractor agrees that: (i) Contractor’s Warranty, as provided under this Article 12 shall apply to all Work regardless of the provisions of any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor warranty, and such Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor warranties shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, such Contractor Warranty; (ii) Contractor is jointly and severally liable with such Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor with respect to such Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor warranty; and (iii) service of notice on Contractor that there has been a breach of a Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor warranty shall be sufficient to invoke the terms of the instrument. This Section 12.1C shall not in any way be construed to limit Contractor’s liability under this Agreement for the entire Work or its obligation to enforce Subcontractor warranties.

D. Exceptions to Warranty. Each Warranty excludes remedy, and Contractor shall have no liability to Owner, for damage or defect to the extent caused by: (i) improper repairs or alterations, misuse,

 

33


neglect or accident by Owner; or (ii) operation, maintenance or use of Work or any component thereof in a manner not in compliance with a material requirement of operation and maintenance manuals delivered by Contractor to Owner; or (iii) operational conditions more severe than those contemplated in Attachment A, including the Design Basis.

12.2 Correction of Work Prior to Mechanical Completion.

A. General Rights. All Work shall be subject to inspection by Owner, Lender or any of their representatives at all times to determine whether the Work conforms to the requirements of this Agreement. Contractor shall furnish Owner, Lender or any of their representatives with access to all locations where Work is in progress, including locations not on the Site. If, in the judgment of Owner, any Work is Defective prior to Mechanical Completion, then Contractor shall, at its own expense subject to Section 12.2C, promptly correct such Defective Work, whether by repair, replacement or otherwise. Subject to Contractor’s right to pursue a Dispute under ARTICLE 16, the decision of Owner shall be conclusive as to whether the Work is conforming or Defective, and Contractor shall comply with the instructions of Owner in all such matters while pursuing any such Dispute. If it is later determined that the Work was not Defective, then Owner shall reimburse Contractor for all costs (plus the Contractor Fee and Overhead for such costs) incurred in connection with such repair or replacement and a Change Order shall be issued for such amount and shall address any impact the repair or replacement may have had on the Project Schedule. If Contractor fails, after a reasonable period of time not to exceed one (1) week, to repair or replace any Defective Work, or to commence to repair or replace any Defective Work and thereafter continue to proceed diligently to complete the same, then Owner may repair or replace such Defective Work and the reasonable expense thereof shall be paid by Contractor.

B. No Obligation to Inspect. Owner’s and Lender’s right to conduct inspections under Section 12.2A shall not obligate Owner or Lender to do so. Neither the exercise of Owner or Lender of any such right, nor any failure on the part of Owner or Lender to discover or reject Defective Work shall be construed to imply an acceptance of such Defective Work or a waiver of such Defect.

C. Costs of Correcting Defective Work prior to Mechanical Completion. Except as otherwise set forth in the Agreement, Owner shall reimburse Contractor for Allowable Costs to perform rework prior to Mechanical Completion, even if such rework would otherwise be considered an occurrence of Defective Work; provided that (i) Contractor has provided notice to Owner of such Defective Work; (ii) the aggregate cost of all such rework does not exceed two percent (2%) of the total of all Allowable Costs paid to Contractor (as of Mechanical Completion), exclusive of Subcontractor costs for lump-sum Subcontracts (and provided that Owner is not obligated to pay for rework performed by such lump-sum Subcontractors); and (iii) the repair rate does exceed the rate expected in accordance with Good Construction Practices, computed as of Mechanical Completion. In no event shall Owner’s reimbursement for such Defective Work include any amounts for: (a) Work priced on a lump sum or unit rate basis in this Agreement; (b) Defective Work performed by Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors where the basis of compensation to a Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor is on a lump sum or unit rate basis; (c) amounts for which Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors are responsible under their respective Subcontracts or Sub-subcontracts for correcting Defective Work at their own expense; or (d) correction of amounts in excess of two percent (2%) of the Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstance is Contractor entitled to a Change Order arising out of the correction of Defective Work, regardless of cause.

D. Cost Uncovering and Disassembling Work. Prior to Mechanical Completion, Owner may request that Contractor uncover previously covered Work to permit Owner and its representatives to inspect such Work. In the event such uncovered Work is found to be Defective, then Contractor shall correct such Defective Work and shall bear the cost of such uncovering and recovering the Defective Work, as well as the cost of repair or replacement of such Defective Work. The cost of disassembling, dismantling or making safe finished Work for the purpose of inspection, and reassembling such portions (and any delay associated therewith) shall be borne by Owner if such Work is found to conform with the requirements of this Agreement and by Contractor if such Work is found to be Defective.

12.3 Correction of Work After Mechanical Completion. If, during the Defect Correction Period, any Work is found to be Defective, Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, immediately and on an expedited basis correct such Defective Work and any other portions of the Corpus Christi Pipeline Project damaged or affected by such Defective Work, whether by repair, replacement or otherwise (“Corrective Work”) and shall be liable for and pay to Owner any and all

 

34


costs, losses, damages and expenses incurred by Owner or any Owner Affiliate arising out of or relating to such Defective Work. Owner shall provide Contractor with access to the Facility reasonably sufficient to perform its Corrective Work, so long as such access does not materially interfere with construction or operation of any portion of the Corpus Christi Pipeline Project (including the Facility) and subject to any reasonable security or safety requirements of Owner.

A. Owner Right to Correct or Complete Defective Work. If Contractor fails to commence the Corrective Work within a reasonable period of time not to exceed forty-eight (48) hours, or does not complete such Corrective Work on an expedited basis, then Owner, by written notice to Contractor, may (in addition to any other remedies that it has under this Agreement, at law or in equity) correct such Defective Work, and Contractor shall be liable to Owner for all documented costs, losses, damages and expenses incurred by Owner in connection with correcting such Defective Work and arising out of or relating to such Defective Work and shall pay Owner (directly or by offset, at Owner’s sole discretion), an amount equal to such costs, losses, damages and expenses; provided, however, if such Defective Work materially affects the construction, operation or use of any of the Corpus Christi Pipeline Project or presents an imminent threat to the safety or health of any Person and Owner knows of such Defective Work, Owner may (in addition to any other remedies that it has under this Agreement, at law or in equity) correct such Defective Work without giving prior written notice to Contractor, and, in that event, Contractor shall be liable to Owner for all documented costs, losses, damages and expenses incurred by Owner in connection with correcting such Defective Work and arising out of or relating to such Defective Work and shall pay Owner (directly or by offset, at Owner’s sole discretion), an amount equal to such costs, losses, damages and expenses.

B. Extended Defect Correction Period for Corrective Work. With respect to any Corrective Work performed, the Defect Correction Period for such Corrective Work shall be extended for an additional one (1) year from the date of the completion of such Corrective Work; provided, however, in no event shall the Defect Correction Period for such Corrective Work be less than the original Defect Correction Period or more than six months beyond the original Defect Correction Period.

C. No Limitation. Nothing contained in this Section 12.3 shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to other obligations which Contractor might have under this Agreement. Establishment of the Defect Correction Period relates only to the specific obligation of Contractor to perform Corrective Work, and has no relationship to the time within which the obligation to comply with this Agreement may be sought to be enforced, nor to the time within which proceedings may be commenced to establish Contractor’s liability with respect to Contractor’s obligations other than specifically to perform Corrective Work.

12.4 Assignability of Warranties. The Warranties made in this Agreement shall be for the benefit of Owner and its successors and assigns and the respective successors and assigns of any of them, and are fully transferable and assignable.

12.5 WAIVER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES. EXCEPT FOR ANY EXPRESS WARRANTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES), THE PARTIES HEREBY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

14.1 Default by Contractor.

A. Owner Rights Upon Contractor Default. If Contractor shall at any time (i) fail to prosecute the Work in a diligent, efficient, workmanlike, skillful and safe manner; (ii) fail to commence the Work in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; (iii) abandon the Project; (iv) repudiate any of its obligations under this Agreement; (v) fail to use an adequate amount or quality of personnel or Construction Equipment to perform and complete the Project without delay; (vi) be in Default pursuant to Sections 3.6, 6.1C or 19.6; (vii) fail to maintain insurance required under this Agreement; (viii) make changes to Key Personnel in violation of the provisions in Section 2.2; (ix) fail to discharge liens filed by any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor as required under this Agreement; (x) cause, by any action or omission, any material stoppage or delay of or interference with the work of Owner or its other contractors or subcontractors; (xi) be guilty of willful misconduct; (xii) fail to make payment to Subcontractors for labor or Equipment owed in accordance with the respective Subcontracts; (xiii) disregard Applicable Law; (xiv) materially fail to comply with any provision of this Agreement; or (xv) become insolvent, have a receiver appointed, make a general assignment or filing for the benefit of its creditors or file for bankruptcy protection, in which such case of insolvency, receivership or assignment the cure provisions found below shall not apply, (each of the foregoing being a “Default”) then (following Owner’s written notice to Contractor specifying the general nature of the Default, unless in the event of any of the items (i) through (xv) above, Contractor cures such condition within seven (7) Business Days) Owner, at its sole option and, without prejudice to any other rights that it has under this Agreement, at law or in equity and, without further notice to Contractor, may (a) take such steps as are necessary to overcome the Default condition, in which case Contractor shall be liable to Owner for any and all documented costs, damages, losses and expenses (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses) incurred by Owner in connection therewith, or (b) terminate for Default Contractor’s performance of all or any part of the Work.

B. Additional Rights of Owner Upon Default Termination. In the event that Owner terminates this Agreement for Default in accordance with Section 14.1A, then Owner may, at its sole option, (i) enter onto the Site and, for the purpose of completing the Work, take possession of all Construction Equipment, Equipment, documents, information, Books and Records and other items thereon owned or rented by

Owner agrees to act reasonably to mitigate any costs it might incur in connection with any termination for Default.

C. Erroneous Termination for Default. If any termination for Default by Owner is found to be not in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or is otherwise deemed to be unenforceable, then such termination for Default shall be deemed to be a termination for convenience as provided in Section 14.2.

D. Obligations Upon Default Termination. Upon termination for Default, Contractor shall (i) immediately discontinue Work on the date and to the extent specified in the notice, (ii) place no further orders for Subcontracts, Equipment, or any other items or services except as may be necessary for completion of such portion of the Work as is not discontinued, (iii) inventory, maintain and turn over to Owner all Construction Equipment furnished by Contractor (subject to Owner’s obligation to pay Allowable Costs for such Construction Equipment as set forth above in Section 14.1B) or any other equipment or other items provided by Owner for performance of the terminated Work, (iv) promptly make every reasonable effort to procure assignment or cancellation upon terms satisfactory to Owner of all Subcontracts and rental agreements to the extent they relate to the performance of the Work that is discontinued; (v) cooperate with Owner in the transfer of Drawings, Specifications, Permits, licenses and any other items or information and disposition of Work in progress so as to mitigate damages; (vi) comply with other reasonable requests from Owner regarding the terminated Work; (vii) thereafter execute only that portion of the Work not terminated (if any) and that portion of the Work as may be necessary to preserve and protect Work already in progress and to protect Equipment at the Site or in transit thereto, and to comply with any Applicable Law; and (viii) perform all other obligations under Section 14.1B.

14.2 Termination for Convenience by Owner.

A. Owner Rights to Terminate for Convenience. Owner shall have the right to terminate for convenience Contractor’s performance of all or any part of the Work by providing Contractor with a written notice of termination, to be effective upon receipt by Contractor.

B. Obligations of Owner upon Convenience Termination. Upon a convenience termination by Owner in accordance with Section 14.2, Contractor shall be paid (i) the reasonable value of the Work performed (the basis of payment being based on the terms of this Agreement, less any down payments, if any, made under this Agreement) prior to termination, less that portion of the Contractor’s Compensation previously paid to Contractor, plus (ii) reasonable direct close-out and demobilization costs submitted in accordance with this

 

37


Section (but in no event shall Contractor be entitled to receive any amount for unabsorbed overhead, contingency, risk or anticipatory profit). Contractor shall submit all reasonable direct close-out costs to Owner for verification and audit within sixty (60) Days following the effective date of termination. If no Work has been performed by Contractor at the time of termination, Contractor shall be paid the sum of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand U.S. Dollars (U.S.$250,000) for its undertaking to perform, provided that for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing does not apply if Owner has made the initial payment in accordance with Section 7.2B.2 prior to such termination for convenience.

14.3 Suspension of Work. Owner may, for any reason, at any time and from time to time, by written unilateral or mutual Change Order, suspend the carrying out the Work or any part thereof, whereupon Contractor shall suspend the carrying out of such suspended Work for such time or times and in such manner as Owner may require and shall take reasonable steps to minimize any costs associated with such suspension.

In the event that any claim, dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including the breach, termination or invalidity thereof, and whether arising out of tort or contract) (“Dispute”) cannot be resolved informally within thirty (30) days after the Dispute arises, either Party may give written notice of the Dispute (“Dispute Notice”) to the other Party requesting that a representative of Owner’s senior management and Contractor’s senior management meet in an attempt to resolve the Dispute. Each such management representative shall have full authority to resolve the Dispute and shall meet at a mutually agreeable time and place within thirty (30) days after receipt by the non-notifying Party of such Dispute Notice, and thereafter as often as they deem reasonably necessary to exchange relevant information and to attempt to resolve the Dispute.

The Parties agree that if any Dispute is not resolved within ninety (90) days after receipt of the Dispute Notice given in this Section 16.1, then either Party may by notice to the other Party refer the Dispute to be decided by final and binding arbitration in accordance with Section 16.2.

Per Diem Policy

 

  4.3 Each employee must work a minimum of 80% (8 hours of a 10 hour day, 9.5 hours of a 12 hour day, etc.) of the scheduled work day to be eligible for the work day’s per diem. Superintendent approval is required to pay per diem for any employee who worked less than 80% of the scheduled work day.

 

  4.4 For projects paying 7 day/week Per Diem: In order for an employee to be eligible for Per Diem on days off, an employee must work 95% (47.5 hours of a 50 hour work week, 57 hours of a 60 hour work week, etc.) of the scheduled work hours for the work week. If an employee starts work during the middle of the week employee will be eligible to receive per diem for days off as long as the employee has worked 95% of the possible hours for the week.

 

  4.5 In order to be eligible for Per Diem, the employee’s principal residence must be outside a 50 mile radius of the project site as a guideline. Each employee must provide proof of principal address. P.O. boxes are not acceptable for proof of address.

 

  4.6 Acceptable documentation to provide proof of address is a follows:

 

    Unexpired Driver License

 

    Government Issued ID

 

    2 pieces of Business Mail with the Same Address (Cell Phone Bill, Utility Bill, Cable Bill, etc.)

 

  4.7 Per Diem will not be paid if an employee has an unexcused absence (subject to management approval) on a scheduled work day. If an employee leaves early employee must work at least 80% of the work day in order to receive Per Diem for that day unless approved otherwise by management. Jury duty or court appearances are considered an absence and Per Diem will not be paid unless required by law. Paid time off is considered an absence and Per Diem will not be paid.

 

  4.8 Unexcused absences are not eligible for Per Diem.

 

5.0 Records

1. GENERALLY

1.1 The following definitions apply in this Schedule J-5 and elsewhere in the Agreement:

Fundamental Work Change” has the meaning in paragraph 1.4(a)(i) below.

Target Mechanical Completion Date” means the date by which Contractor is targeting to achieve Mechanical Completion, being October 1, 2017, as may be adjusted only in accordance with the limited adjustment factors set forth in paragraph 1.2(a) below.

1.2 Contractor can earn an Incentive Payment based upon achievement of each of following:

(a) achieving Final Completion with Contractor’s Compensation (less any Incentive Payment due under this Schedule J-5) equaling less than the Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation (as may be adjusted by Change Order);

(b) achieving the Target Mechanical Completion no later than thirty (30) Days after the Target Mechanical Completion Date; and

(c) achieving Final Completion without a fatality at the Site.

1.3 If all elements set forth in Section 1.2 above are met, Contractor shall earn fifty percent (50%) of the difference between the Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation and Contractor’s Compensation (less any Incentive Payment due under this Schedule J-5). If Contractor or anyone on its behalf files a Claim in a court of legal jurisdiction or in a demand for arbitration seeking to increase the amount of the Incentive Payment in contravention of the preceding sentence, the Parties hereby agree that the amount payable for the Incentive Payment shall revert to zero dollars (U.S.$0.00).

1.4 Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation and Target Mechanical Completion Date Adjustment

 

  (a) Notwithstanding any entitlement Contractor may have to adjustments or extensions of time elsewhere in this Agreement, the Target Mechanical Completion Date shall be adjusted only for the limited and exclusive list of changes specified below, and as expressly so stated in corresponding Change Orders authorized by the Owner under this Agreement:

 

  (i) where Owner directs a Change to the Scope of Work that requires an aggregate increase or decrease to the overall Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation for the Project by more than 5% (a “Fundamental Work Change”) and such Fundamental Work Change delays the critical path (as shown on the then-current Monthly Updated CPM Schedule) for the Target Mechanical Completion Date;

 

  (ii) after issuance of the Notice to Proceed, a suspension of substantially all of Work at the Site by Owner under Section 14.3 of the Agreement that delays the critical path (as shown on the then- current Monthly Updated CPM Schedule) for the Target Final Completion Date, except where the cause of such suspension is attributable to the fault or negligence of Contractor, any Subcontractor or any Sub-subcontractor.

 

  (iii) after issuance of the Notice to Proceed, a Force Majeure event under Section 6.8 of the Agreement that delays the critical path (as shown on the then-current Monthly Updated CPM Schedule) for the Target Mechanical Completion Date; and,

 

  (iv) a Change Order mutually executed by the Parties in connection with a change to the Scope of Work that delays the critical path (as shown on the then-current Monthly Updated CPM Schedule) for the Target Mechanical Completion Date, wherein Owner agrees to adjust the Target Mechanical Completion Date.

 

K-31


  (b) The Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation shall be adjusted up or down for amounts corresponding to those Change Orders referred to in paragraph 1.4(a)(i) or paragraph 1.4(a)(iv).

 

  (c) Upon satisfaction of the preconditions to any of the above events, Contractor shall notify Owner promptly of the occurrence (with supporting details) and the effects on the Target Final Mechanical Date and/or the Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation . Owner shall adjust the Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation and/or the Target Mechanical Completion Date (to the extent such event delays the actual achievement of Mechanical Completion beyond the Target Mechanical Completion Date, as shown on the critical path of the then current Monthly Updated CPM Schedule). The Target Final Mechanical Completion Date shall be adjusted by a Change Order.

 

  (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation , the Target Mechanical Completion Date or any of the amounts specified as being payable for the Incentive Payment be adjusted, except as expressly contemplated in Section 6.4 of the Agreement and this paragraph 1.4.

 

  (e) Paragraphs 1.4(a), 1.4(b) and 1.4(c) are of the essence of the agreement on the Incentive Payment, and Contractor acknowledges that Owner would not agree to provide any Incentive Payment without such requirements. If Contractor or anyone on its behalf files a Claim in a court of legal jurisdiction or in a demand for arbitration, seeking to obtain any adjustment to the Estimated Total Contractor’s Compensation , any adjustment to the Target Mechanical Completion Date or an increase in any amounts specified as being payable for the Incentive Payment, or any adjustment to the Incentive Payment requirements, the Parties hereby agree that the amount payable under the Incentive Payment shall revert to zero dollars (US$0.00).
