On the Effective Date, Service Provider shall transfer and Owners will assume control of the Site and project-level direction and control of the work required to complete the Facility, with ultimate decision-making and direction of all work residing in Owners subject to the terms of Article 13. For a period of ninety (90) days beginning on the Effective Date, Service Provider will provide engineering, procurement, and construction support services consistent with work currently being performed by Service Provider in connection with the Project, except as otherwise directed by Owners or agreed upon by the Parties (the “Transition Period”). During the Transition Period, Service Provider will support the transition of responsibilities to Owners or their designees, as directed, as efficiently and promptly as possible.
(a)    Access and Resource Commitment. Service Provider shall (i) make commercially reasonable efforts to maintain current staffing and resource levels, except as expressly authorized by Owners with respect to transferred responsibilities and the process described in Section 4.1(e) (Staffing and Resource Assessment); (ii) maintain Owners’ access to on-Site and off-Site facilities, construction equipment, temporary construction facilities and systems, and materials to support continuation of work on the Project and the transition of Project Controls to Owners; and (iii) to the extent required under Section 4.1(f), maintain and provide Owners access to Service Provider’s IT network (on-Site and off-Site) in order to support continuation of work on the Project and transition of Project Controls to Owners. Owners agree to comply with Service Provider’s applicable Westinghouse policies required for infrastructure access and end use any time Owners access Service Provider’s IT network, provided that Service Provider will provide a copy of such policies to Owners on a timetable that supports Owners’ access. Service Provider warrants that it will not apply such policies to Owners in a manner that will unreasonably inhibit Owners’ access to Service Provider’s IT network as contemplated under this Agreement, or cause Service Provider to fail to provide the access otherwise required under this Agreement. Service Provider shall not amend any such policies in a manner that will unreasonably inhibit Owners’ access to Service Provider’s IT network as contemplated under this Agreement or cause Service Provider to fail to provide the access otherwise required under this Agreement.
(b)    Transfer of Project Controls. Service Provider will support transition of the Project Schedule and Project Controls functions to Owners. The current integrated Project Schedule will be transferred in its native format (e.g., XER files). Following the transfer of the Project Schedule and Project Controls to Owners, Service Provider will provide ongoing Project Controls information to Owners to enable Owners to track the Project Schedule and costs.
(c)    Subcontracts. Service Provider shall assume and assign to Owners or their designee, and Owners or their designee shall assume, the contracts listed on Exhibit H, Part A; provided that Owners may elect, by giving written notice thereof to Service Provider within a reasonable time prior to the entry of an order authorizing the

assumption and assignment of such contracts, not to accept any such contract, whereupon such contract will be removed from Exhibit H, Part A. Service Provider shall assume the contracts listed on Exhibit H, Part B as amended to include Owners as parties thereto, including the ability to exercise the rights and remedies thereunder and with a direct obligation to pay the counterparty for all liabilities thereunder; provided that Owners may elect, by giving written notice thereof to Service Provider within a reasonable time prior to the entry of an order authorizing the assumption of such contracts, not to have the Service Provider assume any such contract, whereupon such contract will be removed from Exhibit H, Part B. Owners shall be responsible for any amount required to be paid in order to assume such contracts. Owners agree to take such actions as may be required to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval of such assumptions. The terms “subcontracts” and “contracts,” as used within this Section 4.1(c), include and refer to subcontracts and purchase orders as listed on Exhibit H.
(d)    Refinement of Services, Deliverables, and Schedule. During the Transition Period, Owners and Service Provider will further define (i) the Services that Service Provider will perform, (ii) division of responsibilities, (iii) the Deliverables; and (iv) the schedule for completion of Services and delivery of Deliverables to support the updated Project Schedule that will be developed by Owners with Service Provider’s input. The Services and Deliverables defined in accordance with this Section 4.1 will be consistent with the high-level descriptions of Services and Deliverables set forth in Exhibit A (Services and Division of Responsibility) and Exhibit B (Deliverables) and any other applicable requirements in this Agreement.
(e)    Staffing and Resource Assessment.
(i)
Service Provider will support Owners’ identification of on-Site and off-Site personnel, facilities, equipment, and infrastructure needed to support completion of the Project.
(ii)
Throughout the term of this Agreement, Owners may, at Owners’ election, subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations, remove personnel from the Site for cause, and with reasonable notice where practicable.

CONFIDENTIAL TRADE SECRET INFORMATION


(iv)
Certain of Service Provider’s personnel will work at the direction and control of Owners’ personnel (such Services referred to herein as the “Secondment Services”). The Secondment Services will be governed by the terms and conditions of a Staff Augmentation Agreement between Service Provider and Owners, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit D (Form of Staff Augmentation Agreement).
(v)
Owners will have the right to offer employment to, hire, or offer another contractual arrangement to Service Provider’s employees and contract staff on-Site (subject to prior employment-related agreements between Service Provider and such personnel). Owners will have the right to offer employment to, hire, or offer another contractual arrangement to Service Provider’s employees and contract staff not working on-Site (subject to prior employment-related agreements between Service Provider and such personnel) only with the consent of Service Provider, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(vi)
The terms of this Section 4.1(e) shall be effective during and after the Transition Period.
(f)    Access to Project Management/Project Controls Information. Service Provider will make available and deliver as necessary to Owners in electronic format (where possible) data, documentation, and applications (including input files) necessary to support transition of the project management and the discrete scopes of work to be transferred to Owners. The information and data available to Owners will be that data and information required for Owners to (1) evaluate the status of the Project and work necessary for completion of the Project, (2) assume responsibility for scope previously performed by Service Provider (including historical information), and (3) perform project management functions. For the software applications required to fulfill items (1), (2), and (3) above, subject to applicable license restrictions, Service Provider will provide input files and data upon request and will work with Owners to evaluate which applications will be maintained by Owners for the balance of the Project and which will be maintained by Service Provider on Owners’ behalf (and with full Owners access). Except where unavailable, Service Provider will provide all information and data in the existing file format(s) used by the Service Provider where such format(s) is required to enable Owners’ use as contemplated herein. If such file format(s) is unavailable, Service Provider will work with Owners to provide information and data in a format that enables Owners’ use as contemplated herein. At Owners’ election and expense, this information and any other documentation/records agreed upon by the Parties will be transferred to a single Site document management system maintained by Service Provider or to Owners’ document management systems (e.g., CIMS, Documentum). The terms of this Section

The interface protocol will control, at a minimum, the provision of PI & CAP related documentation from Service Provider to Owners, the treatment of any existing open issues within Service Provider’s PI & CAP respecting activities which are not Services under this Agreement but nonetheless relate to the Site, and the systems and infrastructure which will be used for the single PI & CAP. Work performed by Service Provider under this section 4.1(g) is reimbursable.
(h)    Transfer of Regulatory Permits. During the Transition Period, the Parties will identify the permits held by Service Provider that Owners require to complete the Project, and Service Provider will facilitate the transfer of those regulatory permits to Owners’ or Owners’ designee that are required to complete the Project.
(i)    Insurance. Service Provider will provide a list of existing insurance policies related to the Project, facilities, and equipment within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date and maintain such policies until at least sixty (60) days after the Effective Date.

Prior to cancellation of any existing insurance policies, Service Provider will provide prompt notice to Owners and at least within ten (10) days of knowledge that cancellation will occur.
(j)    Service Provider will support other transition efforts reasonably requested by Owners, including but not limited to regulatory compliance (including but not limited to Georgia Public Service Commission and Securities Exchange Commission reporting or approval requirements), and coordination and cooperation with subcontractors, vendors, suppliers, and consultants.
(k)    Service Provider may sell and Owners may purchase certain Service Provider facilities and/or construction equipment at the prices established by an independent valuation company mutually agreed upon by the Parties.

4.2    Scope of Services. Service Provider will provide mutually agreed engineering, procurement, and construction support services, the categories of which are set forth in Exhibit A (Services and Division of Responsibility), as refined during the Transition Period, or otherwise agreed upon by the Parties.
4.3    Changes to the Scope of Services after the Transition Period.
(a)    Owners may desire additions to the scope of Services. Service Provider agrees to consider, in accordance with this Agreement, additions to the scope of Services which are related to the Services for the Project and which do not materially affect the nature of the Services or resource requirements of Service Provider.
(b)    Owners, in their sole discretion, shall have the right to reduce or terminate certain Services or portions thereof at any time for their convenience by providing written notice to Service Provider at least fifteen (15) days in advance of the date of termination or other minimally necessary time period required to comply with the WARN Act, as measured from the date of written notice of termination, with respect to employees who are not performing Secondment Services. Following such notice period, Service Provider shall require its employees and subcontractors to cease work thereon, except to the extent otherwise required by the notice itself or by industry safety practices or applicable law, rules or regulations. Owners shall be obligated to pay amounts due, in accordance with Exhibit C (Rates and Invoicing) herein, for Services performed prior to Owners’ reduction notice and for any Recoverable Costs associated with such reduction or termination.
(c)    Service Provider will not perform Services that it reasonably determines to be new or different or beyond those set forth herein and in Exhibit A (Services and Division of Responsibility) without prior written authorization from Owners’ Authorized Representative. To establish authorization for extra compensation for changes in the scope of Services, Service Provider will submit to Owners, in advance of performing the new or different Services, a proposal for the new or different Services, and will submit therewith such cost and schedule information as reasonably required for Owners to evaluate the proposal. Before beginning the new or different Services, Service Provider must secure written authorization from Owners. Service Provider agrees that it will not knowingly make any Claim for payment for new or different Services that Service Provider knew were not authorized in writing by Owners in advance of commencement of the performance of such Services.
4.4    Schedule. Service Provider shall endeavor to perform Services under this Agreement in a timely manner in order to support the Project Schedule. However, as provided for in this Agreement, Owners have the responsibility for the Project Schedule, and Service Provider shall have no liability for Project delays, costs, claims, damages, or losses arising from delays to the Project Schedule. Upon becoming aware that any Services are expected to be completed more than thirty (30) days after the projected date set forth in the Project Schedule, Service Provider will notify Owners in writing of their Service affected and the cause.

Upon reasonable advance written request of Owners, Service Provider shall furnish to Owners such evidence as Owners may reasonably require relating to Service Provider’s qualifications. The Parties agree that (1) Service Provider is not to be considered the constructor of the Project or otherwise responsible for the supervision of the construction of the Project, (2) that Service Provider may not be licensed as a contractor under the laws of the State of Georgia, (3) the Services being rendered under this Agreement do not constitute construction services under Georgia law, (4) the Services do not require a contractor’s license under Georgia law, and (5) Owners are not relying on Service Provider for any contractor license.
4.6    Subcontractors. The Services to be performed by Service Provider hereunder shall not be subcontracted nor shall Service Provider procure consultants or other outside services and facilities without the prior written approval of Owners, which Owners may withhold or provide in their discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Service Provider may subcontract its Services in whole or in part to an Affiliate of Service Provider without the prior approval of Owners; provided, however, with the exception of Mangiarotti, WesDyne, and Nuclear Parts Organization (“NPO”), any Services performed by an Affiliate of Service Provider shall be subject to the same pricing terms contained in Exhibit C (Rates and Invoicing) as if Service Provider had performed such Services directly. Owners will incur no duplication of costs or multiple markups as a result of any subcontract. With regard to Mangiarotti, WesDyne, and NPO, such Affiliates will be treated as third party subcontractors, and Owners shall have review and approval rights with regard to these subcontracts.
4.7    Payment to Subcontractors and Vendors; No Liens. Service Provider shall be solely responsible for paying the subcontractors and vendors it engages on the Project. Service Provider shall obtain interim and final lien waivers in the forms provided by Owners from subcontractors and vendors.

Service Provider shall notify Owners within five (5) days of receipt of knowledge of any liens filed against, or threatened to be filed against, the Facility, Site and/or equipment.
4.8    Support for Governmental Hearings. Service Provider understands and acknowledges that as a result of its performance of this Agreement and the special knowledge it possesses, and in order to defend and explain the decisions, procedures and standards applicable to its furnishing or performing the Services, Service Provider may be called upon to appear at governmental and other hearings. At Owners’ expense, including but not limited to the cost of Service Providers’ reasonable legal fees, Service Provider agrees that it will appear in such

14


CONFIDENTIAL& PROPRIETARY

hearings when requested by GPC or Owners.

Service Provider shall maintain control over and responsibility for its offsite tools, equipment and materials. No partnership, joint venture, agency or employment relationship is created by this Agreement, and Service Provider is not and will not act as an agent or employee of Owners except as required and designated by Owners for procurement. Service Provider’s Representatives have no right to participate in any of Owners’ employee benefit plans, including but not limited to the provision of health insurance under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (“ACA”), as a result of providing the Services. Service Provider shall be solely responsible for (i) payment of all compensation to its employees, (ii) the withholding of federal, state, and local taxes from such compensation and the payment of all such withheld amounts to the appropriate agencies or authorities, (iii) payment to the appropriate agencies or authorities of state unemployment insurance, federal unemployment insurance, FICA and state disability insurance, (iv) paying workers’ compensation insurance, and (v) providing the workers with all necessary and appropriate benefits including, without limitation, any health and welfare coverage required under applicable law, including, without limitation, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended or revised (“HIPAA”) or the ACA or other applicable federal and state health care requirements.
5.2    Appointment of Agents. Owners have appointed GPC as their agent for all purposes under this Agreement pursuant to the Ownership Agreement, with the power and authority to bind Owners to their obligations herein. All obligations required under this Agreement to be fulfilled by the Owners will be performed by or at the direction of GPC, as agent for the Owners. Copies of the Ownership Agreement have been provided to and received by Service Provider. Owners will not materially change (in terms of the effect of any change on the agent’s authority with respect to this Agreement) the agency authority granted to GPC (or a successor agent) under the Ownership Agreement without Service Provider’s prior written approval not to be unreasonably withheld. GPC, acting for itself and as agent for the other Owners, has appointed SNC as agent for the implementation and administration of this Agreement. SNC is the exclusive licensed operator of Vogtle Units 1 and 2 and is the licensed operator of the Facility having exclusive control over licensed activities at the Facility.

5.4    Owners’ Inspector. Owners reserve the right, but shall not be obligated, to appoint inspectors to follow the progress of the Services provided by subcontractors to the Service Provider (each, an “Owners’ Inspector”). Owners’ Inspectors shall be granted access to the Services being performed at vendor facilities as allowed in the respective subcontract or as required by law, and being performed at Service Provider facilities (not the Site) as reasonably requested and agreed to by Service Provider. Such access shall not be conditioned on Owners or Owners’ Inspector waiving the right to reasonably safe access and accommodations. Owners may, but are not obligated to, authorize an Owners’ Inspector to stop work, provide direction to Service Provider, or take other actions which are the right or responsibility of Owners under this Agreement. Owners will notify Service Provider in writing of the appointment of any Owners’ Inspector and the scope of the Owners’ Inspector’s authorization to bind Owners. All expenses incurred by Service Provider in connection with complying with the directives of Owners’ Inspector pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall constitute actual costs. Service Provider will in no event be considered in breach of any other provision of this Agreement due to its compliance with the directions of Owners’ Inspector unless such directions are known to the Service Provider to be outside the scope of the Owners’ Inspector’s ability to bind Owners.
5.5    Project Metrics. Service Provider will provide information reasonably requested by Owners to enable Owners to evaluate applicable and relevant schedule and cost information for the Project. Whether or not a request has been made by Owners, Service Provider will promptly notify Owners of any event or circumstance of which Service Provider becomes aware which has a material adverse effect on the performance, cost or schedule of completion of the Services.

Within fifteen (15) days of receipt of Service Provider’s estimate, Owners may, with respect to Services in the immediately forthcoming quarter: (i) issue a hold on some or all Services (provided that Owners continue to pay Service Provider for all resources dedicated to the Project and affected by the hold period); or (ii) establish a budget cap applicable to the Services or a portion of the Services. Service Provider agrees that it will take commercially reasonable actions to avoid expending or incurring more than any Owner-issued budget cap, except with Owners’ prior written approval.
5.6    Owners’ Access and Oversight Rights.
(a)    In accordance with facility protocol and during reasonable times, Owners will have the right to have its personnel or other representatives (including Third Parties) oversee the performance of the Services in order to determine that the Services comply with the requirements of this Agreement and also to determine that the Services will be performed at a rate that is consistent with or as provided in the Project Schedule. Owners’ oversight shall not be deemed to: (i) be supervision by Owners of Service Provider; or (ii) relieve Service Provider of any responsibility for performing the Services in accordance with this Agreement. Owners may report to Service Provider any unsafe or improper conditions or practices observed at the job site for action by Service Provider in correction or enforcement.
(b)    Upon receipt of reasonable notice, Owners shall have reasonable access to applicable parts of Service Provider’s and/or its subcontractors’ facilities engaged in performance of the Services, wherever located, at reasonable times and subject to the reasonable requirements of Service Provider or its subcontractors, and as necessary to enable Owners to monitor the performance of Services.
5.7    Owners’ Approval Rights. Service Provider shall obtain Owners’ written approval (which may be provided by Owners’ Authorized Representative), which Owners may withhold or provide in their sole discretion, prior to taking any of the following actions:
(a)    any change in the design of the Facility, based on an approval process to be defined by the Owners, with support of the Service Provider, to ensure effective control of design and execution of the work. Such process shall include definition of how approval shall be documented and recorded, as well as appropriate thresholds for approval requirements;
(b)    any change in the means of performing the Services that will require a change to the Licensing Basis (regardless of whether such licensing change requires NRC approval); or
(c)    modifying the means, methods, or schedule for Services such that Service Provider knows that the cost to Owners for the Services will materially increase.

5.8    Right to Stop Work. Owners reserve the right to stop performance of any portion of the Services for any or no reason by providing Service Provider with a written stop work order from Owners’ Authorized Representative, provided that Owners continue to pay Service Provider for the resources to the extent allocated to the Project and directly affected by the stop work order, and the payment amount shall be commensurate with the percentage of allocation.
5.9    Removal of Personnel. Subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations, Owners, for reasonable cause, have the right to require Service Provider to remove any employee, subcontractor, or subcontractor employee from the Site or from performing Services hereunder.

5.10    Not Exclusive Dealings Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to be and shall not be construed to be an exclusive dealings agreement between Owners and Service Provider. Owners shall at all times, in their sole discretion, be free to self-perform any Services or have such Services performed by another party subject to and consistent with the IP licensing agreements in Exhibits F (Facility IP License in the Event of a Triggering Event) and G (IP License), provided that any associated reduction in Services will be only as provided in Section 4.3(b).
5.11    Safeguards Information; Security Related Information.

18


CONFIDENTIAL& PROPRIETARY
CONFIDENTIAL TRADE SECRET INFORMATION


term is defined in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, XVII) of the Licensed IP, which is in .pdf format. When requested by Owners, Service Provider will also deliver the Licensed IP in .doc or .dwg format. Owners acknowledge that any Licensed IP delivered by Service Provider in .doc or .dwg format may contain errors and omissions, and are therefore being provided “as is, where is,” without warranty or any assurance of accuracy.
Nothing in this Section 6.1 shall restrict Owners’ right to receive or take possession of Facility IP pursuant to Exhibit F (Facility IP License in the Event of a Triggering Event). Except where provided in Exhibit F (Facility IP License in the Event of a Triggering Event), in no event will Service Provider be required to deliver to Owners the following categories of Licensed IP: (i) detailed design calculations and methodologies used to create Licensed IP; (ii) computer code input files and source codes; (iii) manufacturing technology and associated information; (iv) nuclear fuel design information; (v) safety analysis methodologies; and (vi) third party information which Service Provider does not have the contractual right to provide.
6.2    Maintenance of Facility IP. Except to the extent expressly precluded by law or court order, and then only to the narrowest extent required by such law or court order, Service Provider will maintain Facility IP, including any Facility IP newly developed during the term of this Agreement, in a form that enables Service Provider to perform the Services and preserves Owners’ right under Exhibits F (Facility IP License in the Event of a Triggering Event) and G (IP License).
6.3    Access to Facility IP. Regardless of whether certain Facility IP is deliverable under this Agreement, Westinghouse will provide Owners electronic access (except where electronic versions are unavailable or impractical for the required purpose) at the Site to the Facility IP, including but not limited to design calculations and all documents referenced or cited in the DCD and required to be incorporated into or referenced in the COL, as needed (i) to meet all applicable regulatory requirements and (ii) to exercise Owners’ oversight role (including participation in the design change process) (“Accessible IP”). The NRC will have the same access as Owners with respect to item (i) herein. Where Service Provider maintains electronic versions of Accessible IP, Service Provider will provide Owners’ personnel with access to read-only versions of such Accessible IP from workstations supplied by Service Provider for use on-Site and at Owners’ off-Site corporate offices. Owners’ access to Accessible IP will be available at any time, without the need for prior notice or authorization, with full implementation of this requirement to occur as soon as reasonably possible after the Effective Date. Owners will not copy or otherwise reproduce any Accessible IP. For Accessible IP that does not exist in electronic form, Service Provider will provide hard copies at the Site promptly upon Owners’ request.
6.4    Facility IP Licenses.  Owners’ rights with respect to Facility IP shall be governed by the provisions of Exhibits G (IP License) and F (Facility IP License in the Event of a Triggering Event), which shall be executed in parallel to this Agreement and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

ARTICLE 8.     INVOICES AND PAYMENTS
8.1    The requirements and processes applicable to invoices under this Agreement are set out in Exhibit C (Rates and Invoicing).

Owners shall be severally, not jointly, liable for the payments due hereunder; provided, however, that GPC shall act on behalf of all Owners for purposes of the receipt of invoices and aggregating the payments received from the Owners prior to making payment in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Each individual Owner is responsible for that percentage of payments due hereunder that is equivalent to such individual Owner’s respective ownership interest percentage in the Project at the time such payment obligation accrues. In the event that an Owner does not pay in full the amount that is due from such Owner, and another Owner does not make such payment on behalf of such non-paying Owner, GPC shall notify Service Provider no later than the due date for the payment of the identity of the Owner(s) that did not pay in full and the amount of such shortfall in payment from such Owner(s).
ARTICLE 9.     RECORDS; AUDIT
9.1    Subject to Service Provider’s established records retention policy, Service Provider shall maintain and shall cause its subcontractors and vendors to maintain all technical documentation and other work product relative to the Services performed or provided under this Agreement throughout the term of this Agreement or for a longer period as required by applicable laws.  If termination of this Agreement occurs prior to completion of the second Unit, Service Provider shall arrange for transfer of the lifetime quality records existing as of the date of the termination identified as Deliverables in Exhibit B (Deliverables) which Owners are required by NRC regulations or other applicable Law to retain as the NRC licensee for the Facility. The Service Provider may act as an authorized agent for retaining lifetime quality records in accordance with NQA-1-1994 as directed by Owners.
9.2    Except to the extent applicable laws require a longer retention, Service Provider shall maintain and shall cause its subcontractors and vendors performing services to maintain complete accounting records relating to the Services performed or provided and reimbursements from Owners due under this Agreement for a period of three (3) years after termination or completion of the Services, or such longer period as required by Law.  Service Provider shall retain accounting records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, as set forth in pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (and its predecessors) and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

9.3    In addition to the obligations in Sections 9.1 and 9.2, Service Provider shall maintain its records in compliance with the applicable provisions of 10 C.F.R. § 50.71 and other applicable laws until such time as Service Provider delivers such records to Owners in accordance with this Agreement.  At Owners’ request, Service Provider shall allow Owners to audit and inspect its records related to the Services performed or provided under this Agreement in order for Owners to assess, verify, or demonstrate compliance with 10 C.F.R. § 50.71 and other applicable federal regulations.
9.4    At Owners’ expense, Owners’ third-party independent auditor will have the right not more than twice in a twelve month period to examine on Service Provider’s premises all reasonable information required by Owners to substantiate proper invoicing. Such audit will provide Owners with a reasonable opportunity to verify that all costs and charges have been properly invoiced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  In no event shall Owners have a right to demand an audit more than six months following the period to be audited. If an audit by the auditor reveals charges to or paid by Owners as charges or fees which are incorrectly charged, then Owners shall be entitled upon demand to a refund from Service Provider of such charges plus interest since the date of payment of the over-charges at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus one percent (1%).  The limitation of liability in Section 17.2 shall not impair Owners’ entitlement to a refund under this Section 9.4. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.4 to the contrary, Owners shall not be restricted from any audit rights that they are required to have in order to comply with applicable laws, including without limitation the requirements of the NRC.
9.5    Service Provider shall provide, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to require its subcontractors and vendors to provide, reasonable assistance to Owners in responding to requests and inspections by any Government Authority for information in connection with the Services.
ARTICLE 10.     DEFECTIVE SERVICES AND EQUIPMENT WARRANTY

The Services under this Agreement which require a professional license under applicable law (e.g., engineering design work that must be performed by a licensed Professional Engineer) shall be performed (i) in a professional, prudent and workmanlike manner by qualified persons using competent, professional knowledge and judgment at the degree of skill and care customary to the nuclear power industry, and (ii) in accordance with Law, regulations, Licensing Basis, this Agreement, industry codes and standards. Subject to all limitations of Service Provider’s liability in this Agreement, in the event that any Services which are subject to this Section 10.1, and which are not Secondment Services, result in work product that is determined to be defective, such work shall be re-performed by Service Provider at Service Provider’s expense. Service Provider’s total liability for any claims under this section shall be limited to the insurance proceeds recoverable from a mutually agreeable professional liability insurance policy covering Service Provider and the Services.
10.2    Non-Professional Services. Other labor Services provided under this Agreement which do not require a professional license under applicable law will be performed by qualified

For any Facility equipment furnished through Service Provider, Service Provider shall (i) designate Owners as an express third-party beneficiary of such warranties, (ii) provide copies of all warranties and applicable contracts to Owners, and (iii) ensure that all available warranties are assigned to and operate for the benefit of Owners.

The request shall identify the information requested to be disclosed, the work that is to be performed and the name of the intended Recipient. The request shall be in writing sent to Service Provider. The request shall be reviewed by Service Provider for acceptability for disclosure based on the principle, agreed to by Owners and Service Provider, that Service Provider has the right to protect its proprietary information in which it has made a substantial investment and which required substantial innovation, balanced against whether such disclosure would jeopardize such proprietary rights of Service Provider and the principle that Owners have the right to assure that services associated with maintenance and operation of the Facility are in all respects prudent, including cost, and thus may need to be performed by Third Party service providers. The determination of whether or not to disclose the information shall be made by Service Provider in its discretion based on the above principles and with an agreement that information can be adequately protected by requiring Third Party employees to work solely for the Project and to segregate information from the Third Party’s corporate servers and other Third Party employees. Service Provider shall make commercially reasonable efforts to respond within five (5) business days of receipt of a written request from Owners to disclose specific Service Provider Non-Disclosable Information.

CONFIDENTIAL TRADE SECRET INFORMATION


causes of action, damages, liabilities, losses, penalties, costs and expenses caused by acts or omissions of Service Provider employees seconded to Owners.
16.2    Owners’ Indemnity. Owners shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Service Provider, its present and future Affiliates and the respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents, shareholders, attorneys, successors and assigns of each of them and all persons or entities claiming through them (collectively referred to as “Service Provider Persons Indemnified”), from and against (i) all third party claims associated with any injury of or death to natural persons or damage to or destruction of third party property to the extent that such injury, death or damage is proximately caused by or arises out of the negligence or willful misconduct of Owners or their Representatives in the performance or prosecution by Owners or its Representatives of work related to the Project; (ii) any violation of Law to the extent such violation of Law is made by Owners or their Representatives in the performance or prosecution by Owners or their Representatives of work related to the Project; (iii) any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, liabilities, losses, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) associated with (A) the Release on or from the Site or any other location of any Hazardous Materials to the extent caused by the negligent acts or negligent omissions or willful misconduct of Owners or their Representatives in the performance or prosecution by Owners or their Representatives of work related to the Project, or (B) contamination of the environment or injury to natural resources resulting from Hazardous Materials to the extent caused by the negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of Owners or their Representatives in the performance or prosecution by Owners or their Representatives of work related to the Project; (iv) all third-party claims of delay, additional work, or other commercial claims, in all such cases arising after the Effective Date, by any third-party contractor having privity with Owners and performing work related to the Project, or by such contractor’s subcontractors, vendors or suppliers, performing work related to the Project; and (v) all third-party claims of delay, additional work, or other commercial claims, in all such cases arising after the Effective Date, by any third-party contractor having privity with Service Provider under a subcontract or purchase order listed on Exhibit H, Part B or a subcontract or purchase order the Owners direct the Service Provider to assume to permit Service Provider to perform the Services hereunder, or by such contractor’s subcontractors, vendors or suppliers, performing work related to the Project. This Owners’ indemnity obligation shall not apply to any claim arising out of Service Provider’s, its subcontractors’, or their Representatives’ (a) failure to comply with applicable Law, (b) reckless or intentionally wrongful conduct, including activities or actions that Service Provider knows are contrary to Owners’ written direction or position, which are not contrary to Law or the terms of this Agreement, or (c) actions other than those taken pursuant to this Agreement.

41


CONFIDENTIAL& PROPRIETARY
CONFIDENTIAL TRADE SECRET INFORMATION


be waived to the extent that said notice failure causes actual and material prejudice to the indemnifying Party’s ability to defend the claim for which indemnity is requested. The Party providing the indemnity of any third-party claim shall have control of the defense of indemnified claims including the selection of defense counsel and settlement of all indemnified claims.
16.4    Intellectual Property Infringement.
(a)    Service Provider shall indemnify, hold harmless, release and defend Owner Persons Indemnified from all losses which may be incurred on account of alleged or claimed infringement of any United States patent or United States copyright, or misappropriation of any trade secret, trademark rights, proprietary rights or other intellectual property rights of any third party, arising out of the performance of Services by Service Provider. Owners shall promptly notify Service Provider of such claims, suits and actions in writing and Service Provider shall pay all costs, expenses, settlements and/or judgments resulting therefrom.
(b)    If a claim of infringement or misappropriation is made, Service Provider may, and if the Services provided hereunder by Service Provider are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to constitute an infringement or misappropriation of any United States patent or United States copyright, trade secret, trademark rights, proprietary rights or other intellectual property rights of any third party, and if the use of said Services is enjoined, Service Provider shall, at its sole expense, either:  (a) procure for Owners the right to continue using said Services; or (b) modify the infringing Services so they become non-infringing, to the extent reasonably possible without diminishing the capability and capacity of the Services.  In the event the above alternatives are unavailable to Service Provider, then, with the approval of Owners, Service Provider shall seek alternate ways and means to provide such Services for which it is obligated under this Agreement so long as such alternate means are reasonably acceptable to Owners. 
(c)    Notwithstanding the above, Service Provider shall not compromise or settle any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which Owners are named without Owners’ prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld unless such settlement provides for the payment of money only by Service Provider and provides for a full, complete and unconditional (other than ceasing Services) release of Owners.
(d)    The foregoing indemnity shall not apply in situations where (i) the Services are furnished in accordance with designs supplied by Owner or to the extent any Service furnished hereunder is modified or combined by Owner or others with items not furnished hereunder, or (ii) Owners use the Services of Service Provider contrary to written instructions from Service Provider that specify in detail the use or uses of such Services which will constitute an infringement of any United States patent or United States copyright, or the violation of any trade secret, trademark right, proprietary right or other intellectual property right of any third party. In the event a suit or proceeding is brought against Service Provider as a result of such Owners’ design modification or combination, or actions not approved by Service Provider, Owners will indemnify and hold Service Provider harmless to the same extent as

42


CONFIDENTIAL& PROPRIETARY
CONFIDENTIAL TRADE SECRET INFORMATION


Service Provider has agreed to indemnify and hold Owners harmless hereunder; provided that Owners’ indemnity obligations under this Section 16.4(d) will not be limited by Section 17.4.

ARTICLE 17.     LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
17.1    Limitations Applicable to Warranty Work.
(a)    Equipment Warranty Cap. Service Provider’s cumulative aggregate liability under all warranties applicable to Service Provider-manufactured equipment in Section 10.5(b) shall be five million dollars ($5,000,000).

17.2    Service Provider’s cumulative aggregate liability to Owners under or related to this Agreement for any and all claims, losses, re-work warranty obligations, expenses, damages, suits, judgments, fines, penalties, or liabilities of any kind arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall not exceed the total amount of the Fee paid to Service Provider as of the date the liability arose under this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation in this Section 17.2 shall not apply to the following, which shall not be considered in determining whether such aggregate liability cap has been exceeded: any loss or damage, to the extent insurance proceeds are available from the insurance required under this Agreement, it being the Parties’ specific intent that the limitations of liability hereunder shall not relieve the insurer’s obligation for such insured risks.
17.3    Except for breaches of Article 14 or use of Intellectual Property outside the permissible license scope, under no circumstances shall either Party be liable to the Persons Indemnified of the other Party for consequential losses or damages, including, but not limited to, in the character of (a) loss of use of power systems, production facilities or equipment, (b) loss of profits or revenues, (c) loss of tax credits, (d) cost of purchased or replacement power, (e) damages suffered by customers for service interruptions, or (f) costs of financing.

43


CONFIDENTIAL& PROPRIETARY
CONFIDENTIAL TRADE SECRET INFORMATION


to exercise their license rights thereunder. The provision of such a license on a royalty-free basis and the disclosure of Facility IP thereunder shall be Owners’ sole and exclusive remedy and Service Provider’s sole liability, with respect to the acts or omissions giving rise to the Triggering Event.
17.6    Limitations on liability expressed in this Article 17 shall apply even in the event of the fault, negligence, or strict liability of Service Provider or Owners, as applicable, or otherwise and shall extend to the Parties’ directors, officers and employees, and to any affiliated entity of the Party hereto, and its directors, officers and employees.
ARTICLE 18.     BENEFITED PARTIES
Service Provider understands and agrees that GPC is entering into this Agreement not only for its own benefit but also and equally for the direct benefit of Owners. By agreement, SNC has the right and obligation to construct, operate and maintain generating plants, which are owned jointly by GPC and the other Owners, and SNC has the right to enter into agreements for exercising said rights and performing said obligations.  As their interests appear, it is further agreed that each and every right, benefit and remedy accruing to GPC likewise accrues to the Owners including but not limited to the right to enforce this Agreement in their own name or names. For the avoidance of doubt, each of Owners and SNC are Owner Persons Indemnified under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as between GPC, Owners, and Service Provider, GPC shall remit (on behalf of Owners) all payments to Service Provider hereunder, and Service Provider shall submit all invoices to GPC for payment. Owners represent that Owners are the sole present owners (subject to mortgage indentures) of the Facility to which the Services relate and that GPC is authorized to bind, and does bind, all present Owners to the limitations of liability set forth in this Agreement. In the event that any other entity obtains any ownership interest in a facility for which Services are performed, then Owners agree to bind such entity to such limitations of liability.
ARTICLE 19.     DISPUTE RESOLUTION
19.1A “Claim” is a demand or assertion by one of the Parties seeking, as a matter of right, adjustment or interpretation of Agreement terms, payment of money, extension of time, or other relief with respect to the terms of this Agreement. The term “Claim” also includes other disputes and matters in question between Owners and Service Provider arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including the breach, termination or validity thereof, and whether arising out of tort or contract).
19.2All Claims not otherwise resolved by the Parties shall be submitted to and decided by arbitration before a three-member panel (the “Panel”) pursuant to the then-current e.g., CPR Rules for Expedited Arbitration of Construction Disputes and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq. The Panel members shall be mutually agreeable to the Parties and are as of the date of this Agreement Jesse B. Grove, David Lane and Richard Alexander. Upon any vacancy on the Panel, the Parties shall endeavor to agree on a replacement member promptly, notwithstanding whether any Claim then is pending.
19.3Either Party may commence arbitration by providing written notice of a Claim to the other and to the members of the Panel. Such notice shall include a written statement of the

44


CONFIDENTIAL& PROPRIETARY
CONFIDENTIAL TRADE SECRET INFORMATION


Claim along with substantiation for the Claim. The receiving Party shall respond with a statement of its position on the Claim and substantiation for its position within twenty-one (21) days of such notice.
19.4No later than thirty (30) days after notice of a Claim, the Panel shall hold an initial pre-hearing conference for the planning and scheduling of the arbitration. The Panel may establish procedures and otherwise conduct the arbitration in such manner as it deems appropriate to assure an expeditious and fair resolution of the Claim. Unless extended by agreement of the Parties or by order of the Panel, in no event shall the Panel’s final decision be issued later than one hundred eighty (180) days after notice of a Claim.
19.5The place of the arbitration shall be Atlanta, Georgia.
19.6The decision of the Panel is final and binding and is not subject to further arbitration or litigation by either Party.
19.7Notwithstanding anything in this Article to the contrary, a Party may file a complaint in a court of competent jurisdiction to seek enforcement of the agreement to arbitrate set forth in this Article, other injunctive relief or specific performance, or enforcement of any decision or award issued by the Panel.
ARTICLE 20.     TERMINATION
20.1    Owners, in their sole discretion, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without cause by providing written notice to Service Provider at least thirty (30) days in advance of the date of termination or other minimally necessary time period such that Service Provider complies with federal and state notice requirements (e.g., WARN Act) as measured from the date of written notice of termination. In the event of such a termination, Service Provider shall be compensated in accordance with the terms of Section 20.3. In no event shall termination costs include such costs as loss of anticipated profit.
20.2    Either Party may terminate this Agreement on the basis of a material breach by written notice of breach where the breaching Party fails to cure the default within thirty (30) days. For the avoidance of doubt, Service Provider may terminate this Agreement in the event that Owner fails to make payment on any invoice within thirty (30) days after the due date of such invoice and Owner fails to cure the non-payment default within thirty (30) days.
20.3    Termination Costs. In the event of Owners’ termination for convenience under Section 20.1, Service Provider shall recover from Owners, as complete, full, and final settlement for such terminated work, a sum equal to Service Provider’s actual direct costs for work performed as of the termination date. In addition, Service Provider shall recover from Owners its reasonable and direct costs incurred to terminate its subcontracts and purchase orders that support the Project. Service Provider shall in no event be entitled to recover indirect, special,

45


CONFIDENTIAL& PROPRIETARY
CONFIDENTIAL TRADE SECRET INFORMATION


incidental, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to loss of profits or revenue on Services not performed. Service Provider shall also recover the following from the Owner in the event of termination for convenience:
(a)Direct costs for storage, transportation, insurance and other costs incurred, reasonably necessary for the preservation, protection, or disposition of the materials or equipment.
(b)Direct costs for demobilization, including removal of equipment or other materials, and personnel-related costs (i.e., internal administrative costs and severance (consistent with Westinghouse’s and WECTEC’s severance programs effective immediately prior to bankruptcy), but not liabilities or damages arising from Service Provider’s release or termination of an employee or employees); and
(c)Any other costs approved in writing by Owners in advance of the termination date.
20.4    Service Provider shall not be paid for any Services performed by it or its subcontractors or costs incurred after receipt of a notice of suspension or termination, which Service Provider could reasonably have avoided, nor shall Owners be liable for any anticipated profits on Services not performed, or for any loss or damage with respect to any equipment, materials or property purchased or leased for anticipated use in the Services, unless such equipment, materials or property were specifically authorized by Owners. Payment as specified in this Article 20, and indemnity specified in Article 17, as applicable, shall be Service Provider’s sole and exclusive remedies and Owners’ sole and exclusive obligation and liability to Service Provider with respect to such termination.
20.5    Without limiting the terms of the Facility IP License in the Event of a Triggering Event (Exhibit F), from and after termination of this Agreement, Service Provider shall have no obligation to deliver any further Facility IP to Owners.
ARTICLE 21.     ASSIGNMENT
Owners’ consent shall not be required for Service Provider’s assignment in connection with the Bankruptcy Cases of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; provided however, that the rights of Owners under the Bankruptcy Code are preserved in all respects. After the conclusion of the Bankruptcy Cases, Service Provider shall be entitled to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without prior approval of Owners. Owners shall not assign this Agreement in whole or in part without the prior written consent of Service Provider, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that this Agreement may be assigned in whole or part by the Owners to any agent, replacing GPC as agent for the Owners, pursuant to the provisions of the Ownership Agreement; and provided further that any Owner shall be permitted to assign this Agreement to another Owner or to an Affiliate in accordance with the Ownership
