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 authoritative control over the Work as to the manner, means or details as to how to perform the Work. 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.

2.2 Key Personnel. Attachment B sets forth a list of key personnel (“Key Personnel” or “Key Persons”) from Contractor’s 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.

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 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 employed by any of them, as Contractor is for the acts or omissions of Persons directly employed by Contractor. The work of any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor shall be subject to inspection by Owner and its 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. 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 adjustment of the Estimated Contract Price or Project Schedule as a result of compliance with such policies and procedures or any removal of personnel necessitated by non-compliance.

2.4 Subcontracts and Sub-subcontracts.

A. Proposed Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors. Contractor shall, within thirty (30) Days, prior to the selection of any Subcontractor, notify Owner in writing of the intended selection of such Subcontractor and inform Owner generally what portion of the Work such Subcontractor is performing. Owner shall have the discretion to accept or reject any proposed Subcontractor, and Contractor shall not enter into any Subcontract with a proposed Subcontractor that is rejected by Owner. Any failure of Owner to accept a proposed Subcontractor within twenty (20) Days shall be deemed to be a rejection of such Subcontractor.

B. Terms of Subcontracts and Sub-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 Subcontract and each Sub-subcontract shall contain all provisions required by the Contract Documents or necessary to enable Contractor to comply with the terms thereof, including that such Subcontract or Sub-subcontract may be assigned to Owner without the consent of the respective Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor.

2.5 Contractor Investigations of the Site and Differing Site Conditions.

A. Contractor Investigations of the Site. Contractor represents that it has investigated, examined, inspected, and thoroughly familiarized itself with the Site and adjoining premises in connection with the Work to be performed, and that it has thoroughly informed itself as to any connected difficulties known to Contractor or that should have become known to Contractor pursuant to Contractor’s investigation. Contractor further represents that Owner has made no representation of any kind or nature with respect to the Site or adjoining premises which are not contained in this Agreement. Commencement of the Work or any portion thereof by Contractor shall be conclusive evidence that the Site is in proper condition for the Work. By entering this Agreement with Owner, Contractor further warrants and represents that it has taken into account all reasonably foreseeable climatic conditions, the availability and costs of labor, Equipment, and Construction Equipment, Owner’s scheduling requirements, and potential Project congestion or disruption caused by the work of others proceeding simultaneously with Contractor.

B. Differing Site Conditions. Contractor further agrees that it has made all investigations and inspections that it deems necessary to perform the Work in accordance with the Project Schedule, and understands the climate, terrain and other difficulties that it may encounter in performing the Work in accordance with the Project Schedule. Contractor warrants that it has the experience, resources, qualifications and capabilities at its disposal to perform the Work in accordance with the Project Schedule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should concealed or unknown conditions be encountered below the surface of the ground or in

existing structures which are at variance with information, if any, furnished by Owner in writing under the Contract Documents, or which are of an unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in this Agreement, then the Estimated Contract Price, Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date, Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date, and Guaranteed Final Completion Date may be adjusted by Change Order; provided, however, that a condition precedent to any such adjustment by Change Order shall be, in addition to any other requirement for Change Orders, that Contractor notify Owner of such concealed or unknown condition within twenty-four (24) hours of its discovery, and before the condition is further disturbed.

If Contractor has not taken reasonable precautions for the safety of the public or the protection of the Work, and such failure creates an emergency requiring immediate action, then Owner may, but shall be under no obligation to, take reasonable action as required to address such emergency. The taking of any such action by Owner, or Owner’s failure to take any action, shall not limit Contractor’s liability.

3.8 Books, Records and Audits. Contractor shall keep full and detailed books, construction logs, records, daily reports, accounts, schedules, payroll records, receipts, statements, electronic files, correspondence and other pertinent documents as may be necessary for proper management under this Agreement, as required under Applicable Law or this Agreement, and in any way relating to this Agreement (“Books and Records”).

3.9 Temporary Utilities, Roads, Facilities and Storage. Contractor shall provide, maintain, and remove from the Site upon Final Completion of the Work, all temporary offices, structures for the use of its employees, sheds, and storage facilities, complete with all related utilities (i.e., electricity, water, communication, cable, telephone, waste and sewer). Contractor shall provide all temporary utilities necessary to perform and test the Work. Contractor shall construct and maintain temporary access and haul roads as may be necessary for the proper performance of the Work.

3.15 Used or Salvaged Materials. If, after Substantial Completion and prior to Final Completion, Contractor has any Equipment that it purchased for the Project but did not incorporate into the Project, and if Contractor does not desire to keep such Equipment for its own use, Owner has the option of either taking such Equipment at no cost to Owner or requiring that Contractor haul such Equipment off the Site at Contractor’s cost and expense; provided that if such Equipment was purchased pursuant to a unilateral Change Order in accordance with Section 6.1C or 6.2D, Owner shall have the right, at its option, to keep such Equipment for no additional cost or require that Contractor haul such Equipment off the Site at Contractor’s cost and expense.

3.16 Compliance with Real Property Interests. Contractor shall, in the performance of the Work, comply, and cause all Subcontractors to comply, with any easement, lease, right-of-way or other property interests that affect or govern the Site or any other real property used for the purposes of completing the Work, including any insurance or indemnification restrictions or obligations therein, to the extent such easement, lease, right-of-way or other property interests relate to the performance of the Work.

ARTICLE 5

COMMENCEMENT OF WORK, PROJECT SCHEDULE, AND SCHEDULING OBLIGATIONS

5.1 Commencement of Work. Contractor shall not commence performance of the Work until Owner issues the notice to proceed in the form attached hereto as Attachment C (“Notice to Proceed”) authorizing the same pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Upon Contractor’s receipt from Owner of the NTP, Contractor shall immediately commence with the performance of the Work specified in such NTP. If Owner issues the NTP after July 31, 2007, then Contractor shall be entitled to a Day for Day extension to the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date for each Day of delay.

5.2 Project Schedule. Contractor shall perform the Work in accordance with the Project Schedule set forth in this Section 5.2 and in Attachment E.

A. Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date. Contractor shall achieve Mechanical Completion of the Work no later than January 31, 2008 (“Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date”). The Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date shall only be adjusted by Change Order as provided under this Agreement.

B. Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date. Contractor shall achieve Substantial Completion of the Work no later than twenty-nine (29) Days after achieving Mechanical Completion (“Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date”). The Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date shall only be adjusted by Change Order as provided under this Agreement.

C. Guaranteed Final Completion Date. Contractor shall achieve Final Completion of the Work no later than thirty-one (31) Days after achieving Substantial Completion (“Guaranteed Final Completion Date”). The Guaranteed Final Completion Date shall only be adjusted by Change Order as provided under this Agreement.

5.3 CPM Schedule.

A. CPM Schedule Submission. On or prior to execution of this Agreement, Contractor shall prepare and submit to Owner for its review and written approval a detailed critical path method schedule for the Project (“CPM Schedule”). Owner may issue written comments, proposed changes and/or written approval or disapproval of such CPM Schedule. The CPM Schedule shall, at a minimum, (i) include separate activities for each portion of the Project, (ii) be fully integrated and shall be consistent with the Project Schedule, and (iii) show an uninterrupted critical path from the NTP through Substantial Completion and Final Completion of the Project. With respect to each activity in the CPM Schedule, the CPM Schedule shall show the activity number, activity description, early start and early finish dates, late start and late finish dates, duration, total float value, and responsible Contractor, Subcontractor or other parties. The CPM Schedule shall represent Contractor’s best judgment as to how it shall complete the Work in compliance with the Project Schedule, including the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date, Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date, and the Guaranteed Final Completion Date. The CPM Schedule shall be submitted in hard copy and also in its native electronic format, provided on a computer diskette. Once the CPM Schedule and the required submittals have been reviewed and approved by Owner, such version of the CPM Schedule shall be the baseline CPM Schedule for the Work.

B. Progress Updates to CPM Schedule. After approval by Owner of the baseline CPM Schedule described in Section 5.3A, Contractor shall manage and update (no less frequently than once per week) the CPM Schedule. Each updated CPM Schedule shall meet the requirements of Section 5.3A, and in addition shall (i) at a minimum, be prepared with the same level of detail as the baseline CPM Schedule, (ii) reflect the Work as actually performed or as forecasted, and (iii) show any other information requested by Owner. Contractor shall submit to Owner current updates to the CPM Schedule on a periodic basis, which shall be submitted with each

Progress Report and Invoice. Contractor shall promptly correct any errors or inconsistencies in the updates to the CPM Schedule identified to Contractor by Owner and resubmit a corrected update for Owner’s review.

C. Approval of Baseline CPM Schedule and Updates to CPM Schedule. Owner’s review and approval, or lack of review or approval, of the baseline CPM Schedule and any updated CPM Schedule shall not relieve Contractor of any obligations for the performance of the Work, change the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date, Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date, or the Guaranteed Final Completion Date, nor shall it be construed to establish the reasonableness of the CPM Schedule.

5.4 Recovery and Recovery Schedule. If, at any time during the prosecution of the Work, (i) should the CPM Schedule or Progress Report show that any activity on the critical path of the CPM Schedule is delayed such that Substantial Completion or Final Completion of the Work will occur fourteen (14) or more Days after the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date, Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date, or Guaranteed Final Completion Date, and (ii) Contractor or any of its Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors are in Owner’s reasonable judgment responsible for such delay, Owner may, in addition to any other remedies that it may have under this Agreement, require that Contractor prepare, at Contractor’s cost, a schedule to explain and display how it intends to regain compliance with the CPM Schedule (“Recovery Schedule”). After the written notification by Owner of the requirement for a Recovery Schedule, Contractor shall:

A. Prepare the Recovery Schedule and submit it to Owner for its review within five (5) Days of such written notification. The Recovery Schedule shall represent Contractor’s best judgment as to how it shall regain compliance with the CPM Schedule.

B. 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 to the Recovery Schedule as a result of this review shall be resubmitted for review by Owner.

C. Perform the Work in accordance with the Recovery Schedule. 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.

Owner’s requirement, review and approval of the Recovery Schedule shall not relieve Contractor of any obligations for the performance of the Work, change any dates in the Project Schedule, or be construed to establish the reasonableness of the Recovery Schedule.

5.5 Acceleration and Acceleration Schedule. Even if the Work is otherwise in compliance with the CPM Schedule, Owner may, at any time, direct Contractor by unilateral or mutually agreed Change Order to accelerate the Work by, among other things, establishing additional shifts, paying or authorizing overtime, providing additional Construction Equipment or expediting Equipment. In the event of this directive, Owner’s sole liability shall be to pay Contractor any documented costs clearly and solely attributable to such acceleration. Such costs may include any shift differential, premium, or overtime payments to workers or field supervisors and other employees of Contractor dedicated to the Work on a full-time basis actually incurred over and above Contractor’s normal rates, and overtime charges for Construction Equipment. Any adjustment to the Estimated Contract Price or any other Changed Criteria that the Parties agree will be changed by 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, and shall prepare a schedule, for Owner’s review and approval, to explain and display how it intends to accelerate the Work and how that acceleration will affect the critical path of the CPM Schedule (the “Acceleration Schedule”). The Owner-approved Acceleration Schedule shall 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 requirement, review and approval of the Acceleration Schedule shall not constitute an independent evaluation or determination by Owner of the workability, feasibility, or reasonableness of the Acceleration 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 Contract Price, the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date, the Guaranteed Substantial 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 include all information required by Section 6.5B.

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-3 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) in accordance with the outcome of the Dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article 17; 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 15.1 should it (i) fail to commence the performance of the changed Work or other obligations required in such unilateral Change Order within three (3) 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.

6.2 Change Orders Requested by Contractor.

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

1. Acts or omissions of Owner that constitute a material breach of this Agreement by Owner and materially and adversely affect Contractor’s actual cost (which costs shall be adequately documented and supported) of performance of the Work or ability to perform any material requirement under this Agreement and, with respect to delays (as that term is defined Section 6.9) caused by Owner or any Person acting on behalf or under the control of Owner, compensation and a time extension to the Project Schedule to the extent allowed under Section 6.8;

2. Force Majeure to the extent allowed under Section 6.7A;

3. Acceleration of the Work ordered by Owner pursuant to Section 5.5, provided that a Change Order has been issued;

4. To the extent expressly permitted under Section 12.2A; or

5. Suspension in Work ordered by Owner pursuant to Section 15.3.

B. Should Contractor desire to request a Change Order under this Section 6.2, Contractor shall, pursuant to Section 6.5, notify Owner in writing and issue to Owner, at Contractor’s expense, a request for a proposed Change Order, 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 6.5. Any adjustments to the Estimated Contract Price shall be requested on a unit price or lump sum basis and shall be derived from the rates set forth in Schedule D-3 to the extent applicable, or, if not therein, derived from rates not to exceed then-current market rates.

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.

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 ten (10) Business Days of Owner’s receipt of Contractor’s 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 ten (10) Business Days of Owner’s receipt of Contractor’s written notice and proposed Change Order, then the dispute shall be resolved as provided in Article 17. 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 Estimated Contract Price Adjustment; Contractor Documentation. If a Change Order is executed on a time and materials basis pursuant to Section 6.1C or 6.2D, then the Estimated Contract Price shall be adjusted using rates set forth in Schedule D-3, or, if not therein, at rates not to exceed then-current market rates. Contractor shall use reasonable efforts to minimize such costs (consistent with the requirements of this Agreement).

6.4 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.

6.5 Timing Requirements for Notifications and Change Order Requests by Contractor. Should Contractor desire to seek an adjustment to the Estimated Contract Price, the Project Schedule, the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date, Guaranteed Substantial 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 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 6.5A 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 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 6.5, and agree that such requirements are an express condition precedent necessary to any right for an adjustment in the Estimated Contract Price, the Project Schedule, the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date, Guaranteed Substantial 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 6.5.

6.6 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 Contract Price, the Project Schedule (including the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date, Guaranteed Substantial 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 or dealings 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 Contract Price, the Project Schedule (including the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date, Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date, or Guaranteed Final Completion Date), any Work or any other obligations of Contractor under this Agreement.

6.7 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 6.5 and the mitigation requirements in Section 6.10. 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 Project Schedule shall be recorded in a Change Order.

B. Owner Relief. Subject to Section 6.7C, 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.

6.8 Delay Caused by Owner or Changes in the Work. Should Owner or any Person acting on behalf of or under the control of 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 adjustment in

the Estimated Contract Price and 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 6.5 and the mitigation requirements of Section 6.10. Any adjustment to the Estimated Contract Price shall be for reasonable, additional direct costs incurred by Contractor for such delay meeting the requirements of this Section 6.8, and any adjustments to the Estimated Contract Price or the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date shall be recorded in a Change Order. The Parties agree that if they execute a Change Order with respect to any change in the Work described in this Section 6.8, any delay arising out of such change in the Work and meeting the requirements of this Section 6.8 shall be included in the Change Order incorporating such change in the Work.

6.9 Delay. For the purposes of Sections 6.2A.1, 6.6 and 6.8, 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.

6.10 Contractor Obligation to Mitigate Delay. With respect to Sections 6.6 and 6.8, in no event shall Contractor be entitled to any adjustment to the Project Schedule or adjustment to the Estimated Contract Price for that portion of delay to the extent Contractor could have taken, but failed to take, reasonable actions to mitigate such delay.

ARTICLE 7

CONTRACT PRICE AND PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR

7.1 Contract Price and Estimated Contract Price. 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 the sum of (i) the product of the Fixed Unit Prices multiplied by the Measured Quantities for all Unit Price Work performed in accordance with this Agreement, plus (ii) the sum of the Lump Sum Amounts for all Lump Sum Work performed in accordance with this Agreement (the “Contract Price”). Contractor shall not xxxx Owner for any costs relating to any portion of the Work in excess of the Estimated Contract Price specified in Attachment J without obtaining Owner’s written approval prior to incurring such costs. The Estimated Contract Price, Fixed Unit Prices, and the Lump Sum Amounts are subject to adjustment only by Change Order as provided in Article 6. The Estimated Contract Price includes all Taxes, costs, charges, and expenses of whatever nature applicable to the Work.

7.2 Interim Payments.

A. Invoices. Each week, Contractor shall submit to Owner and Engineer an Invoice for all Work completed during the prior week, if any, which Invoice shall be in the amount equal to the payment due for such completed Work, less Retainage as set forth in Section 7.2B. Such Invoice shall also include amounts properly due and owing for Work performed during the prior week and pursuant to a unilateral Change Order issued pursuant to Section 6.1C or 6.2D, less Retainage. 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 Sections 7.5 and 13.1. Payments shall be made in U.S. Dollars to an account designated by Contractor.

B. Payments. Each Invoice shall be based upon the Schedule of Fixed Prices in Attachment J, and each Invoice shall indicate the percentage of completion of each portion of the Work as of the end of the period covered by the Invoice. Subject to other provisions of this Agreement, the amount stated in each Invoice shall be computed as follows:

1. for Unit Price Work, except Base Lay Mobilization/Demobilization, multiply the Fixed Unit Price by the Measured Quantity; provided that for Work that constitutes a portion of Item A1 in Attachment J, multiply the Fixed Unit Price of Item A1 by the Measured Quantity by the Allocated Percentage for that portion of the Work;

2. add, to the first three (3) Invoices only, for Base Lay Mobilization/Demobilization, one-third (1/3) of the estimated cost of Base Lay Mobilization/Demobilization, as calculated in accordance with Section 2.e of Attachment J;

3. add, for the Lump Sum Work, the product of the Lump Sum Amount for the applicable Item of Lump Sum Work multiplied by the percentage completion for such portion of the Lump Sum Work as of the end of the period covered by the Invoice;

4. subtract Retainage;

5. subtract the aggregate of previous progress payments made by Owner; and

6. subtract amounts, if any, for which Owner has the right to withhold under this Agreement.

C. Interim Lien and Claim Waivers. Each Invoice received by Owner prior to Final Completion of the Project shall be accompanied by (i) a fully executed Interim Lien and Claim Waiver from Contractor in the form of Schedule I-1 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-2 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 substantially the form set forth in Schedule I-2 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 Engineer and Owner and, upon Engineer’s or Owner’s reasonable request, Contractor shall furnish such additional 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 via wire transfer seven (7) days after such Invoice; provided that, the Invoice is submitted via electronic mail or via facsimile, 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 17. Payment on disputed amounts shall be made as soon as such dispute is resolved.

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, (iii) fully executed Final Lien and Claim Waiver from Contractor in the form of Schedule I-3, (iv) fully executed Final Lien and Claim Waivers from each Subcontractor in the form set forth in Schedule I-4, 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-4. 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 the Contract Price, including all 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, 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 (i) Defective Work not remedied in accordance with this Agreement; (ii) any breach by Contractor of any term or provision of this Agreement; (iii) the assessment of any fines or penalties against Owner as a result of Contractor’s failure to comply with

Applicable Law; (iv) amounts paid by Owner to Contractor in a preceding month incorrectly or for which there was insufficient or inaccurate supporting information; (v) failure of Contractor to make payments to Subcontractors as required under their respective Subcontracts; (vi) any other costs or liabilities which Owner has incurred or will incur for which Contractor is responsible; (vii) 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; or (viii) any other reason for which Owner is entitled to withhold payment under this Agreement.

7.6 Release of Retainage. Within thirty (30) Days after Final Completion and Owner’s receipt of an Invoice therefore, Owner shall, subject to its right to withhold under this Agreement, release to Contractor all Retainage with the final payment made pursuant to Section 7.3.

ARTICLE 8

TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS

8.1 Title. Title to all or any portion of the Work shall pass to Owner upon the earlier of (i) payment by Owner therefor, or (ii) incorporation of such Work into the Project. Transfer of title to Work shall be without prejudice to Owner’s right to reject Defective Work, or any other right in the Agreement. Contractor warrants and guarantees that legal title to and ownership of the Work and the Project shall be free and clear of any and all liens, claims, security interests or other encumbrances when title thereto passes to Owner.

8.2 Risk of Loss. Notwithstanding passage of title as provided in Section 8.1 of this Agreement, Contractor shall bear the risk of loss and damage to the Work until Substantial Completion of the Work. In addition, upon Contractor’s receipt of Owner-Provided Equipment, Contractor shall bear the risk of loss and damage for such Owner-Provided Equipment until Substantial Completion of the Work, including maintenance and care for Owner-Provided Equipment in accordance with the manufacturer’s and Owner’s recommendations and procedures.

ARTICLE 9

During the term of this Agreement (or for such longer period required in Attachment F), Contractor, at its sole cost and expense, shall procure and maintain, and shall require its Subcontractors to procure and maintain, insurance coverage with the minimum coverages, levels, limits and conditions set forth in Attachment F. Contractor’s liability under this Agreement, or otherwise at law, shall not be limited by the amount or type of insurance required under this Agreement.

9.2 Payment and Performance Bonds. Prior to Owner’s issuance of NTP, Contractor shall obtain payment and performance bonds each in the amount of the Estimated Contract Price. The payment and performance bonds shall be provided to Owner prior to the commencement of any Work, shall be in the forms attached as Schedule H-1 and Schedule H-2 respectively, and shall be from a surety acceptable to Owner and licensed to transact business in the State of Louisiana. The premium for these bonds shall be paid by Contractor and the cost is included in the Estimated Contract Price. Commencement of Work by Contractor without having provided performance and payment bonds as set forth herein shall not be considered a waiver or release by Owner of the requirement for bonds, and Contractor shall have proceeded with the Work at its own risk and shall not be entitled to payment hereunder until such bonds are delivered to Owner. The payment of any incremental increase in the cost of bonds arising as a result of mutually agreed upon Change Order as provided in Section 6.1B or 6.2C shall be Contractor’s responsibility and shall be included as a part of Contractor’s information provided to Owner in Contractor’s written notice provided in accordance with Section 6.1A.

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 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; (iii) in accordance with all of the requirements of this Agreement, including in accordance with Applicable Law; 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, without additional cost to Owner, 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 Substantial Completion (other than those Warranties related to Punchlist items, which will be delivered prior to Final 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.

12.2 Correction of Work Prior to Substantial Completion.

A. General Rights. All Work shall be subject to inspection by Owner or any of its representatives at all times to determine whether the Work conforms to the requirements of this Agreement. Contractor shall furnish Owner or any of its 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 Substantial Completion, then Contractor shall, at its own expense, promptly correct such Defective Work, whether by repair, replacement or otherwise. Subject to Contractor’s right to pursue a Dispute under Article 17, 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 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 expense thereof shall be paid by Contractor.

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

C. Cost Uncovering and Disassembling Work. Prior to Substantial 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 Substantial 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 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 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 Project 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 Project 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 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 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 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.

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 the Contract Documents. 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 the Contract Documents 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.

ARTICLE 13

GUARANTEE OF TIMELY COMPLETION

13.1 Guarantee of Timely Completion. Contractor specifically acknowledges that time is of the essence in the performance of all of Contractor’s obligations under this Agreement, and the Contractor acknowledges that the Owner will incur substantial monetary and other damages, including consequential damages, if any, in the event Contractor does not achieve Mechanical Completion by the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date, as may be extended by Change Order, provided that Contractor’s maximum liability for such delay shall not exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) provided further that, such cap shall not (i) be construed to limit Contractor’s obligation to complete the Work for the Estimated Contract Price, as may be amended by Change Order, and (ii) apply in the event of Contractor’s willful misconduct or abandonment of the Work.

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 the 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 20.6; (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) 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 costs, damages, losses and expenses (including all 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 15.1A, 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, Owner-Provided Equipment, documents, information, Books and Records and other items thereon owned or rented by Contractor, (ii) take assignment of any or all of the Subcontracts, and/or (iii) either itself or through others complete the Work. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price shall exceed all damages, costs, losses and expenses incurred by Owner (including all attorneys’ fees, consultant fees and litigation expenses, costs to complete the Work, damages for delay and any and all damages for failure of performance and cost of financing), then such excess shall be paid by Owner to Contractor, but such amount shall not be paid until after Final Completion of the Project has been achieved. If such amount incurred by Owner shall exceed the unpaid balance of the Contract Price, then, at Owner’s sole option, Contractor shall pay Owner the difference on demand. Contractor’s liability under this Section 15.1B is in addition to any other liability provided for under this Agreement and Owner shall have the right and authority to set off against and deduct from any such excess due Contractor by Owner any other liability of Contractor to Owner under this Agreement. Owner agrees to act reasonably to mitigate any costs it might incur in connection with any termination for Default. In the event of a termination for Default, the Parties agree that Owner shall be entitled to any and all damages, losses, costs and expenses incurred by Owner arising out of or resulting from such Default, including any and all damages for delay. If Contractor is terminated for Default pursuant to Section 15.1, the Parties agree that, for the purposes of this Section 15.1B, and with respect to Mechanical Completion that was not achieved by Contractor prior to such termination, damages for delay owed by Contractor to Owner shall be based on the date(s) that the substitute contractor achieved such respective Mechanical Completion.

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 15.2.

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 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 and Owner-Provided Equipment at the Site or in transit thereto, and to comply with any Applicable Law; and (viii) perform all other obligations under Section 15.1B.

15.2 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. Upon termination for convenience, Contractor shall (i) immediately discontinue the Work on the date and to the extent specified in such 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) promptly make every reasonable effort to procure 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 unless Owner elects to take assignment of any such Subcontracts, (iv) assist Owner in the maintenance, protection, and disposition of Work in progress, (v) cooperate with Owner for the efficient transition of the Work, (vi) cooperate with Owner in the transfer of Permits, licenses and any other items or information and disposition of Work in progress and (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 and Owner-Provided Equipment at the Site or in transit thereto, and to comply with any Applicable Law, and Owner may, at its sole option, take assignment of any or all of the Subcontracts.

B. Obligations of Owner upon Convenience Termination. Upon a convenience termination by Owner in accordance with Section 15.2, 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 Contract Price previously paid to Contractor, plus (ii) reasonable direct close-out costs submitted in accordance with this 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 One Hundred U.S. Dollars (U.S.$100) for its undertaking to perform.

15.3 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. During any such suspension, Contractor shall properly protect and secure such suspended Work in such manner as Owner may reasonably require. Unless otherwise instructed by Owner, Contractor shall during any such suspension maintain its staff and labor on or near the Site and otherwise be ready to proceed expeditiously with the Work upon receipt of Owner’s further instructions. Except where such suspension ordered by Owner is the result of or due to the fault or negligence of Contractor or any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor, Contractor shall be entitled to the reasonable costs (including actual, but not unabsorbed, overhead, contingency, risk and reasonable profit) of such suspension, including demobilization and remobilization costs, if

necessary, along with appropriate supporting documentation to evidence such costs, and a time extension to the Guaranteed Mechanical Completion Date, Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date, and Guaranteed Final Completion Date if and to the extent permitted under Section 6.8. Upon receipt of notice to resume suspended Work, Contractor shall immediately resume performance of the Work to the extent required in the notice. In no event shall Contractor be entitled to any additional profits or damages due to such suspension.

15.4 Suspension by Contractor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Contractor shall have the responsibility at all times to prosecute the Work diligently and shall not suspend, stop or cease performance hereunder or permit the prosecution of the Work to be delayed; provided, however, subject to Owner’s right to withhold or offset payment to Contractor under this Agreement, if Owner fails to pay undisputed amounts due and owing to Contractor and Owner has failed to cure such failure within thirty (30) Days following Contractor’s written notice to Owner to cure such failure, Contractor may suspend performance of the Work until Contractor receives such undisputed amounts.

15.5 Termination by Contractor. Contractor may terminate this Agreement if, continuing at the time of such termination, Contractor has stopped the performance of all Work under this Agreement pursuant to Section 15.4 for thirty (30) Days, and after the expiration of such thirty (30) Day period, Contractor gives Owner written notice specifying the nature of the default and its intent to terminate the Agreement, and Owner fails to cure such default within thirty (30) Days after receipt of Contractor’s notice. In the event of any such termination under this Section 15.5, Contractor shall have the rights (and Owner shall make the payments) provided for in Section 15.2B in the event of an Owner termination for convenience.

R.S. 23:1021, et seq., Owner and Contractor agree that the Work performed by Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors, and Contractor’s, Subcontractors’, and Sub-subcontractors’ employees pursuant to this Agreement are an integral part of and are essential to the ability of Owner to generate Owner’s goods, products, and work for the purpose of La.

R.S. 23:1061(a)(3), and that Owner shall be entitled to the protections afforded a statutory employer under Louisiana law. Regardless of Owner’s status as the statutory or special employer (as defined in La. R.S. 23:1031(c)) of the employees of Owner, Subcontractors, or Sub-subcontractors, and regardless of any other relationship or alleged relationship between such employees and Owner, Contractor shall be and remain at all times primarily responsible for the payment of all workers’ compensation and medical benefits to Contractor’s, Subcontractors’ and Sub-subcontractors’ employees, and neither Contractor, nor its Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors, nor their respective insurers or underwriters shall be entitled to seek contribution or indemnity for any such payments from Owner or any other member of the Owner Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall this Section 16.4D be interpreted to relieve Contractor from its full responsibility and liability to Owner under this Agreement for the employees of Contractor or its Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors (whether or not such employees are a statutory, special or borrowed employee, or otherwise), including Contractor’s obligations to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Owner Indemnified Parties from and against injury or death to such employees or damage to or destruction of property of such employees, as provided in this Agreement.

E. Conflict with Applicable Law: In the event that any indemnity provisions in this Agreement are contrary to the law governing this Agreement, then the indemnity obligations applicable hereunder shall be applied to the maximum extent allowed by Applicable Law.

The arbitrator(s) shall determine the rights and obligations of the Parties according to the substantive law of the state of Texas, excluding its conflict of law principles, as would a court for the state of Texas; provided, however, the law applicable to the validity of the arbitration clause, the conduct of the arbitration, including resort to a court for provisional remedies, the enforcement of any award and any other question of arbitration law or procedure shall be the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.A. § 2. Issues concerning the arbitrability of a matter in dispute shall be decided by a court with proper jurisdiction. The Parties shall be entitled to engage in reasonable discovery, including the right to production of relevant and material documents by the opposing Party and the right to take depositions reasonably limited in number, time and place, provided that in no event shall any Party be entitled to refuse to produce relevant and non-privileged documents or copies thereof requested by the other Party within the time limit set and to the extent required by order of the arbitrator(s). All disputes regarding discovery shall be promptly resolved by the arbitrator(s). This agreement to arbitrate is binding upon the Parties,

Contractor’s surety (if any) and the successors and permitted assigns of any of them. At Owner’s sole option, any other person may be joined as an additional party to any arbitration conducted under this Section 17.2, provided that the party to be joined is or may be liable to either Party in connection with all or any part of any Dispute between the Parties. The arbitration award shall be final and binding, in writing, signed by all arbitrators, and shall state the reasons upon which the award thereof is based. The Parties agree that judgment on the arbitration award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof.

17.3 Continued Performance. Notwithstanding any Dispute, it shall be the responsibility of Contractor to continue to prosecute all of the Work diligently and in a good and workmanlike manner in conformity with this Agreement. Except to the extent provided in Section 15.5, Contractor shall have no right to cease performance hereunder or to permit the prosecution of the Work to be delayed. Owner shall, subject to its right to withhold or offset amounts pursuant to this Agreement, continue to pay Contractor undisputed amounts in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, in no event shall the occurrence of any negotiation or arbitration prevent or restrict Owner from exercising its rights under this Agreement, at law or in equity, including Owner’s right to terminate pursuant to Sections 15.1 and 15.2

ARTICLE 18

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

F.1.

Contractor’s Insurance: All insurance obtained pursuant to this Agreement shall: (1) be issued by insurers with an “A-X” or better A.M. Best Co. rating in the current Property-Casualty Edition and authorized to do business in the state in which the Project is located, and (2) be in all other respects acceptable to Owner. Contractor shall carry and maintain or cause to be carried and maintained in force at all times during the term of the Agreement the following insurance:

F.1.1.

Workers’ Compensation/Employers’ Liability

Workers’ compensation with appropriate longshoremen’s or harbor workers’ endorsement (if applicable) covering all Contractor Personnel in accordance with the statutory requirements of the state of hire or country in which the Work is to be performed, and if the Work includes the use of vessels, appropriate maritime extensions. Employers’ liability insurance with the limit of One Million United States Dollars (U.S. $l,000,000) per accident or illness.

F.1.2.

Commercial General Liability

Commercial general liability insurance with contractual liability, products and completed operations, and broad form property damage coverage included, which shall provide for a combined single limit of One Million United States Dollars (U.S. $1,000,000) for personal injury, death or property damage resulting from each occurrence and covering all of Contractor’s Work under the Agreement; provided, however, this coverage requirement may be satisfied by Contractor through any combination of primary and excess liability insurance.

F.1.3.

Automobile Liability

Automobile liability insurance covering owned, non-owned and hired motor vehicles, with combined single limits of at least One Million United States Dollars (U.S. $1,000,000) for personal injury, death, or property damage resulting from each occurrence.

F.1.4.

Aircraft Liability Insurance

Aircraft liability insurance, to the extent applicable, covering owned, non-owned and hired aircraft with a combined single limit of Five Million United States Dollars (U.S. $5,000,000) for bodily injury, death and property damage resulting from each occurrence.

F.1.5.

Transportation Insurance

“All Risk” Insurance covering the full replacement cost of all supplies, equipment and materials to be incorporated into the Work while in the course of transit, including the land portion of any ocean or air shipments, and until arrival at the final local Work Sites. Such transit insurance shall include coverage against the perils of war, strikes, riots and civil commotion and shall insure all general average and salvage charges for which named insureds are responsible. Such insurance shall have a deductible of Fifty Thousand United States Dollars (U.S. $50,000) per loss.

F.1.6.

Builder’s Risk Insurance

Upon Owner’s written request, Contractor shall procure and maintain completed value form builder’s risk property insurance (subject to a deductible per loss not to exceed U.S. $50,000) upon the entire Work for one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost value thereof (100% includes additional costs of engineering services in the event of a loss), or such lesser value if requested by Owner. This policy shall include the interests of Owner and Contractor in the Work as named insureds, as their interests may appear, shall name Owner as the loss payee, and shall be on an “All Risk” basis for physical loss or damage including fire, flood, earthquake, subsidence, hail, theft, vandalism and malicious mischief and shall include coverage for portions of the Work while it is stored off the Site or is in transit (except as otherwise covered by Paragraph F.1.5). This policy shall provide, by endorsement or otherwise, that Contractor shall be solely responsible for the payment of all premiums under the policy, and that the Owner shall have no obligation for the payment thereof, notwithstanding that the Owner are named

F-1

insureds under the policy. Contractor shall be responsible for any loss within the deductible of the policy for the liabilities assumed by Contractor hereunder.

The cost of such insurance shall be passed through to and paid by Owner, and the Parties shall execute a Change Order increasing the Estimated Contract Price by such amount.

If such insurance (including the limits or deductibles thereof) is available at commercially reasonable rates and on commercially reasonable terms in the commercial insurance market, Owner and Contractor shall not unreasonably withhold their agreement to waive such requirement to the extent that maintenance thereof is not so available; provided, however, that Contractor shall first request any such waiver in writing from Owner, which request shall be accompanied by written reports prepared by two (2) independent advisers, including insurance brokers, of recognized international standing certifying that such insurance is not reasonably available and commercially feasible in the commercial insurance market (and, in any case where the required amount is not so available, explaining in detail the basis for such conclusions). Any such waiver shall be effective only so long as such insurance shall not be available and commercially feasible in the commercial insurance market.

F.1.7.

Excess Liability Insurance

Umbrella or excess liability insurance, written on a “following form” basis and providing coverage in excess of the coverages required to be provided by Contractor for employer’s liability insurance, commercial general liability insurance and automobile liability insurance, with limits of Ten Million United States Dollars (U.S. $10,000,000) combined single limit each claim and in the aggregate.

F.1.8.

Pollution Insurance

This policy shall provide coverage against claims for bodily injury (including bodily injury and death) and property damage (including loss of use) caused by or arising out of pollution incidents arising from the activities of Contractor or any of its Subcontractors or Sub-subcontractors, and shall include contractual liability per the terms and conditions of such policy. The aggregate limits shall apply separately to each annual policy period.

Limits: U.S. $10,000,000 combined single limit each occurrence

U.S. $10,000,000 general aggregate with dedicated limits per Project site

F.2.

Notice: Contractor shall have the insurance carriers furnish to Owner, upon the Effective Date and annually thereafter, insurance certificates specifying the types and amounts of coverage in effect and the expiration dates of each policy, and a statement that no insurance will be canceled or materially changed without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Owner.

F.3.

Waiver of Subrogation: All policies of insurance required to be provided by Contractor under this Agreement shall include clauses providing that each underwriter shall waive its rights of recovery, under subrogation or otherwise, against the Owner Indemnified Parties for the liabilities assumed by Contractor hereunder. Insurance policies pursuant to Paragraph F.1 shall designate the Owner Indemnified Parties as additional insured for the liabilities assumed by Contractor hereunder, and that the policies provided by Contractor shall be primary and noncontributing to any insurance carried by Owner with regard to the liabilities assumed by Contractor hereunder. The policies referred to in Paragraphs F.1.2 and F.1.3 shall contain a cross-liability clause in respect of third party claims so that Owner and Contractor are regarded as third parties as to each other.

F.4.

Obligations Not Relieved: Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement to the contrary, the occurrence of any of the following shall in no way relieve Contractor from any of its obligations under this Agreement: (i) failure by Contractor to secure or maintain the insurance coverage required hereunder; (ii) failure by Contractor to comply fully with any of the insurance provisions of this Agreement; (iii) failure by Contractor to secure such endorsements on the policies as may be necessary to carry out the terms and provisions of this Agreement; (iv) the insolvency, bankruptcy or failure of any insurance company providing insurance to Contractor; (v) failure of any insurance company to pay any claim accruing under its policy; or (vi) losses by Contractor or any of its Subcontractors not covered by insurance policies.

F-2

F.5.

Subcontractors’ Insurance: If Contractor subcontracts any part of the Work, Contractor shall obtain or require its Subcontractors to maintain, the same insurance coverage and amounts that Contractor is required to maintain pursuant to this Attachment F, as applicable and appropriate to the Work of such Subcontractor.

ATTACHMENT L

CONTRACTOR’S CLARIFICATIONS

1.	The following clarifications apply to horizontal directional drilling (“HDD”) Work:

The Estimated Contract Price excludes the cost to handle or dispose of pre-existing Hazardous Materials found in the soil at the Site, or any drilling fluids/cuttings that may become contaminated from such Hazardous Materials.

Contractor and their HDD Subcontractor(s) are not pipeline designers and have not made any determination as to the suitability for the purpose sought to be achieved by Owner. Pursuant to the above, Contractor and their HDD Subcontractor(s) will use industry best practice methods and comply with the requirements of the Agreement to make a hole and to pull the pipe into the hole. Once the pipe is pulled back, neither Contractor nor their HDD Subcontractor(s) will be liable for damages to the coating and/or the pipe, both of which can result during the pull-back operation in rock or boulder/cobble conditions, unless resulting from Contractor’s or its Subcontractors’ negligence or willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement in the performance of the Work. Should such damage occur, if it is Owner’s intent to have the pipe replaced or repaired, or if it is Owner’s intent to have the crossing made using an alternative means, such additional costs shall be added pursuant to a Change Order.

The Estimated Contract Price assumes that fresh water will be available for all directional drills. Contractor also assumes that the HDD Subcontractor(s) will have the access available to place tru-tracker wires along the HDD. All excess drilling mud will be land farmed or hauled to a disposal site within ten (10) miles of each HDD location. The Estimated Contract Price excludes the cost for the payment of disposal fees.

Adequate work area is available for pulling pipe in one continuous section for each crossing.

2.	The Estimated Contract Price excludes the cost for Owner or agency shutdowns due to rutting of the right-of-way (“ROW”).

3.	The Estimated Contract Price is based on the use of concrete weight coated pipe or concrete set-on weights in areas requiring negative buoyancy. No allowance has been made for using non-traditional backfilling techniques to avoid the use of pipe weighting.

4.	The Estimated Contract Price is based on burning cleared debris along the ROW.

5.	The Estimated Contract Price excludes top soiling the ditch line in “inundated” wetlands.

6.	The Estimated Contract Price is based on removal of slash and small clearing debris from wetlands during the clean-up operations rather than being removed at the time of clearing.

7.	The Estimated Contract Price is based on laying pipe ahead of the ditch.

8.	The Estimated Contract Price assumes that adequate workspace, as agreed upon by Owner and Contractor, has been acquired for all road crossings, stream crossings, directional drill crossings, topsoil storage sites and other geographic features.

9.	The Estimated Contract Price assumes that Permits and sites to fill and xxxxxxx the pipeline will be made available at no cost, provided however that Owner and Contractor will work together to identify all such necessary Permits and sites.

10.	The Estimated Contract Price is based on using a two-part epoxy hand applied coating for tie-in and fabrication welds. Epoxy powder shall be used on all mainline welds.

11.

The Estimated Contract Price is based on utilizing a mechanized welding process. Procedure testing is included in the Pricing Schedule with the pipe (approximately 120 linear feet of 42” x .720” and 120 linear feet of 42” x .864” pipe) to be furnished by Owner. Procedure testing will be conducted in Houston, Texas at Contractor’s auto-welding Subcontractor’s (Serimer Welding Services) facility.

12.	Owner will supply pipe for mechanized welding procedures, and Owner will supply pipe with adequate coating cutbacks and ground flush pipe seams to accommodate mechanized welding.

L-1

13.	The Estimated Contract Price includes clean-up costs in the rice fields to return the area to as near as original conditions as possible, including grading the field and restoring the berms. However, any “laser-leveling” or similar such techniques are not included in the Estimated Contract Price.

14.	Owner will provide all voltage mitigation material (i.e.: zinc ribbon, coating, coupling, kits, etc.).

15.	The Estimated Contract Price does not include costs for stress relieving of 1.125” and 1.250” wall thickness fabrication welds.

16.	Camp Edgewood Road at mile post 25.3 is not conventionally bored, but is part of the Xxxxx Bayou directional drill.

17.	The Estimated Contract Price does not include stand-by costs and clean-up costs associated with an inadvertent drilling mud frac-out or release, and in the event of such occurrence, Owner may request Contractor’s assistance during clean-up upon execution of a Change Order.
