Contractor and Owner shall use reasonable efforts to resolve all disputed amounts expeditiously and in any case in accordance with the provisions of Article 28. No payment made hereunder shall be construed to be acceptance or approval of that part of the Work to which such payment relates or to relieve Contractor of any of its obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE 15.

START-UP, COMMISSIONING & TESTING

15.1 Start-up and Commissioning. Contractor shall conduct the Start-up and Commissioning of each Block in accordance with the Start-up and Commissioning requirements set forth in Exhibits 3 and 27.

15.2 Functional Test and Capacity Tests. Contractor shall conduct Functional Tests for each Block in accordance with Exhibit 27 and when Contractor believes that a Block can satisfy the Minimum Capacity Level, Contractor shall conduct the Capacity Test with respect to each Block in accordance with Exhibit 16A. Contractor must submit a test report for each Functional Test and Capacity Test within five (5) Days after the completion thereof, which test report shall include a summary of the Functional Test or Capacity Test, as the case may be, and the results for such test. Owner and Contractor will negotiate in good faith to agree upon testing procedures that comply with the protocols set forth in Exhibit 27.

15.3 Capacity Test Notice. Contractor shall provide Owner with at least seven (7) Business Days prior written notice of the commencement of each such test, in order to permit Owner's Representative to arrange attendance at such Capacity Test. Contractor shall give Owner Representative at least two (2) Business Days advance notice of the re-performance of any Capacity Test. Owner's Representative, and any Owner Inspection Party (excluding SunPower Competitors) notified to Contractor by Owner in writing prior to the date of the test shall be entitled to attend and observe each Capacity Test and each re-performance thereof.

15.4 Capacity Test Acceptance. Contractor shall, as soon as practicable following the completion of a Capacity Test in which the Final Test Results reveal that the Minimum Capacity Level for such Block has been achieved, submit to Owner's Representative a Capacity Test Certificate, signed by Contractor's Representative and attaching the Final Test Results performed pursuant to Exhibit 16A. Subject to this Section 15.4, Owner shall, within ten (10) Business Days after Owner's receipt of a Capacity Test Certificate from Contractor, either: (a) approve the Capacity Test results by countersigning and delivering to Contractor the fully executed Capacity Test Certificate (which shall be deemed effective on the date the Capacity Test Certificate was delivered); or (b) give Contractor written notice stating that Owner rejects the Capacity Test results and describing the non-conformity on which the rejection is based. A Capacity Test Certificate signed by Owner is deemed conclusive evidence that such Block has met the Minimum Capacity Level required under this Agreement (“Acceptance”). Acceptance of the Capacity Test for a Block shall not affect any rights Owner may have under a Warranty for a Block, any Facility Equipment or the Facility pursuant to Article 21. If Owner fails to respond within such ten (10) Business Days period, then Acceptance for such Block shall be deemed to have occurred as of the date that the Capacity Test Certificate was delivered to Owner and Owner shall execute and deliver the relevant Capacity Test Certificate.

15.5 Capacity Test Rejection. If the Final Test Results reveal that the relevant Block fails to meet the Minimum Capacity Level for such Block, Contractor shall repeat the respective Capacity Test as many times as necessary until the Minimum Capacity Level has been met. Contractor shall take all corrective actions so that such Block successfully completes the Capacity Test and meets the Minimum Capacity Level, without prejudice to Owner's rights and remedies under this Agreement. If the Final Test Results reveal that the relevant Block has satisfied the Minimum Capacity Level but not the Guaranteed Capacity (as adjusted for uncertainty in accordance with Exhibit 16A), Contractor may elect to perform additional Work (if it deems necessary) and repeat the Capacity Test. Any such additional Work shall be performed in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement, including that such Work is in compliance with the PPA. Prior to commencing any such additional Work, Contractor shall provide to Owner a detailed plan and schedule to perform such additional Work and shall not commence any such additional Work without Owner's consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. There shall not be a limit to the number of times the Capacity Test may be repeated pursuant to the previous sentence but in no event shall any Capacity Test continue beyond *** (***) Days after the Facility Substantial Completion Date.

15.6 Right to Use Temporary Equipment. If any Block or the Facility experiences a single point failure (i.e., a main transformer failure) prior to or during a

*** CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

Capacity Test, Contractor may use temporary equipment which must remain in place until a permanent replacement can be installed; provided that such temporary equipment is approved by Owner (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld and in any event within *** of such request for approval) and complies with all Applicable Laws, Applicable Permits, Project Transaction Documents, Governmental Authorities and the PPA and such temporary equipment is not expected to have any adverse effect on the safe and reliable construction of the Block or Project. All costs to install and remove the temporary equipment shall be to Contractor's account.

15.7 ***.

(a) On the basis of sound engineering judgment, *** may *** from amounts due and owing under an Application for Payment *** reasonable estimate of the *** to *** Work which *** believes, in good faith, to be *** (the ***). *** shall provide *** with notice of its intent to *** the *** within five (5) Business Days of obtaining actual knowledge of such ***, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the grounds for *** good faith, bona fide claim. *** shall be entitled to *** from a future payment a *** relating to a *** for which it had paid pursuant to a prior Application for Payment.

Owner shall pay to Contractor the *** on the next draw date under Owner's financing but not later than thirty (30) Days after Owner's receipt of such Application for Payment.

(b) Should the Parties disagree with respect to whether Owner *** to a ***, the Parties will submit the dispute to an Independent Third Party Engineer for expedited dispute resolution pursuant to this Section 15.7(b). The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to select an Independent Third Party Engineer. If the Parties cannot agree within five (5) Business Days then the Dispute Initiator shall send notice to the other Party including two potential Independent Third Party Engineers that meet the requirements set forth in the definition of “Independent Third Party Engineer.” The other Party shall then have two (2) Business Days after receipt of such notice to select an Independent Third Party Engineer from such two (2) potential independent engineers identified in such notice. If the other Party does not make a selection within such two (2)-Business Day period, the Dispute Initiator shall select an Independent Third Party Engineer from such two (2) potential independent engineers identified in such notice. The Parties shall formalize their positions regarding the *** relating to such *** in writing within four (4) Days of Owner providing notice to Contractor of its intent to *** the *** in accordance with Section 15.7(a) and submit such positions to the Independent Third Party Engineer. The Parties and the Independent Third Party Engineer shall meet within five (5) Business Days of the Independent Third Party Engineer's receipt of the materials referenced in the immediately preceding sentence, at the Site, and the Independent Third Party Engineer shall issue a binding ruling that both Parties will obey within five (5) Business Days thereof.

*** CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

16.5 Notice and Certificate of Facility Substantial Completion. When Contractor considers that Facility Substantial Completion has been achieved in accordance with Section 16.4, Contractor shall deliver to Owner a Certificate of Facility Substantial Completion signed by Contractor, together with reasonable supporting documentation evidencing the satisfaction of the provisions in Section 16.4 and the corresponding Application for Payment. Contractor shall provide Owner with a Punch List Estimate at such time. Upon receipt of a Certificate of Facility Substantial Completion from Contractor together with supporting documentation, Owner shall promptly take steps to confirm whether Facility Substantial Completion has been achieved and as soon as practicable, but in no event later than ten (10) Day from the date of receipt of Contractor's notice, Owner shall either issue Contractor: (a) a countersignature to the Certificate of Facility Substantial Completion, signed by Owner's Representative and stating that the Facility Substantial Completion Date is the date on which Contractor delivered the Certificate of Facility Substantial Completion to Owner under this Section 16.5; or (b) a written notice stating why Owner does not consider that Facility Substantial Completion has been achieved. The “Facility Substantial Completion Date” for the Facility shall be the Day after the date on which the last of the conditions of Section 16.4 was satisfied or, in the discretion of Owner, waived; provided, however, except in the event Owner rejects a Certificate of Facility Substantial Completion and any dispute arising from such rejection is resolved in favor of Contractor or Owner does not respond and the Facility Substantial Completion Date is deemed to have occurred, with respect to the transfer of risk of loss, care, custody and control for purposes of Article 13, such date shall be the date of Owner's countersignature to the Certificate of Facility Substantial Completion or the date of deemed acceptance, as applicable. If Owner fails to respond within such ten (10) Day period, then such delay shall constitute an Owner-Caused Delay. If Contractor receives a notice under subparagraph (b) above, Contractor shall take the necessary steps to achieve Facility Substantial Completion and the procedures set forth under this Section 16.5 shall be repeated until such time as the Certificate of Facility Substantial Completion has been accepted by Owner. Any disputes regarding the existence or correction of any alleged deficiencies shall be resolved under Article 28.

16.6 Punch List.

(a) Creation of Punch Lists. Owner and Contractor shall agree upon the relevant Punch List Items to be completed by Contractor. Contractor and Owner shall jointly walk-down the Block and confer together as to the items which should be included on the finalized punch list. Contractor shall then reflect the result of such joint walk down and deliver the same to Owner for its review and approval, which submitted list shall be explicitly designated as the “Proposed Punch List” for the applicable Block. The Proposed Punch List shall include only Punch List Items for such Block, and shall include a Punch List Estimate for the completion or repair of each such Punch List Item and Contractor's estimated schedule for completion therefor. If Owner does not deliver any changes to the Proposed Punch List to Contractor within the later of (i) seven (7) Business Days after Contractor's submission to Owner of such Proposed Punch List and (ii) and (b) two (2) Business Days after the date of the joint walk-down, such delay shall constitute an Owner-Caused Delay. The Proposed Punch List that is ultimately approved for a Block shall be referred to as the “Punch List” for such Block. If the Punch List for a Block is not finalized by the Block Substantial Completion Date for

such Block, the Proposed Punch List as modified by Owner shall be deemed the Punch List for such Block for all purposes hereunder until the Parties resolve such dispute and otherwise finalize the Punch List for such Block. Contractor shall note on such Punch List the items under dispute.

(b) Completion of Punch Lists. Contractor shall proceed promptly to complete and correct the Punch List Items relating to the relevant Block or the Facility, as applicable, no later than *** (***) months after the relevant Block Substantial Completion Date or Facility Substantial Completion Date, as applicable. On a monthly basis after the Block Substantial Completion of a Block, Contractor shall prepare a punch list for such Block to include the date(s) that items listed on such Punch List are completed by Contractor and accepted by Owner. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the items listed on such Punch List shall not be considered complete until Owner shall have inspected such Punch List Items and acknowledged, by notation on the updated Punch Lists, that such item of Work is complete. If Owner does not so inspect and deliver such notations on the updated Punch Lists to Contractor (or dispute completion of the applicable items of Work if not accepted) within seven (7) Business Days after Contractor submits the updated Punch List containing such Punch List Item to Owner, and Contractor has actually completed and corrected any Punch List Item listed on such Punch List, such failure by Owner shall constitute an Owner-Caused Delay. Contractor shall use best efforts to complete the Punch List Items in such a manner as to prevent any loss of power production to the Facility and Contractor shall not curtail or interrupt operation of the Project without Owner consent. Contractor will be responsible for all costs incurred during the completion of the Punch List Items.

(c) Creation of Project Punch List. Owner and Contractor shall agree upon the relevant Punch List Items to be completed by Contractor. Contractor and Owner shall jointly walk-down the Project and confer together as to the items which should be included on the finalized punch list for the Project. Contractor shall prepare a punch list for the Project to reflect the result of such joint walk down and deliver the same to Owner for its review and approval, which submitted list shall be explicitly designated as the “Proposed Project Punch List” and shall set forth all Work remaining to be completed after the Facility Substantial Completion Date. The Proposed Project Punch List may only contain Punch List Items, and shall include a Punch List Estimate for the completion or repair of each such Punch List Item and Contractor's estimated schedule for completion therefor. If Owner does not approve the Proposed Project Punch List or deliver any changes to the Proposed Project Punch List to Contractor within seven (7) Business Days after the later to occur of (a) Contractor's submission to Owner of such Proposed Project Punch List, and (b) two (2) Business Days after the date of the joint walk-down, then such failure shall constitute an Owner-Caused Delay. The Proposed Project Punch List that is ultimately approved by Owner for the Project shall be referred to as the “Project Punch List”. If the Project Punch List is not finalized by the Facility Substantial Completion Date, the Proposed Project Punch List as modified by Owner shall be deemed the Project Punch List for all purposes hereunder until the Parties resolve such dispute and otherwise finalize the Project Punch List. Contractor shall note on such Project Punch List the items under dispute. Contractor shall use best efforts to complete the Punch List Items in such a manner as to prevent any loss of

*** CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

power production to the Facility and Contractor shall not curtail or interrupt operation of the Project without Owner consent. Contractor will be responsible for all costs incurred during the completion of the Punch List Items.

ARTICLE 17.

STAGES OF COMPLETION; DELAY AND CAPACITY LIQUIDATED DAMAGES;

EITC AND DEPRECIATION LOSS

17.1 Block Delay Liquidated Damages.

(a) If Contractor has not achieved Block Substantial Completion of a Block by the Guaranteed Block Substantial Completion Date for such Block (a “Late Block”) for reasons not excused under the terms of this Agreement, then Contractor shall pay to Owner delay liquidated damages (“Block Delay Liquidated Damages”) equal to, for each Day after the Guaranteed Block Substantial Completion Date for such Late Block, Dollars ($***) per MW by which the Block Measured Capacity of the Late Block is less than the Minimum Capacity Level of the Late Block; provided that any amounts that Contractor is obligated to pay to Owner under this Section 17.1 are subject to the limitations set forth in Section 17.1(b) and Article 29. In the event that the Capacity Test has not been performed by the Guaranteed Block Substantial Completion Date, the Block Measured Capacity of such Block shall be *** until the Block Substantial Completion Date of such Block. Block Delay Liquidated Damages shall cease to accrue upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Block Substantial Completion Date for such Block and (ii) the Guaranteed Facility Substantial Completion Date. After taking into account the set-off against the bonus payable under Section 17.1(b) in accordance with Section 17.4, any amount Contractor is obligated to pay to Owner under this Section 17.1(a) shall be due and payable within thirty (30) Days after Contractor's receipt of Owner's invoice submitted not more frequently than monthly following the Guaranteed Block Substantial Completion Date of the Late Block.

(b) Contractor shall be entitled to a bonus payment equal to, for each Day, the amount by which the Cumulative MWs exceeds Scheduled MWs by such Day as set forth in Exhibit 4B, *** Dollars ($***) per MW by which the Cumulative MWs exceed the number of MWs scheduled to have been completed by such Day as set forth in Exhibit 4B. Contractor shall not be entitled to any bonus under this Section 17.1(b) after the earlier of (i) Facility Substantial Completion or (ii) the Guaranteed Facility Substantial Completion Date. After taking into account the set-off against Block Delay Liquidated Damages and/or Block Capacity Liquidated Damages in accordance with Section 17.4, any amount Owner is obligated to pay to Contractor under this Section 17.1(b) shall be due and payable within thirty (30) Days after the end of each month.

17.2 Guaranteed Facility Substantial Completion Delay Liquidated Damages. If Contractor has not achieved Facility Substantial Completion by the Guaranteed Facility Substantial Completion Date for reasons not excused under the terms of this Agreement, then Contractor shall pay to Owner delay liquidated damages (“Facility Delay Liquidated Damages”) equal to, for each Day after the Guaranteed Facility

*** CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

Substantial Completion Date that the Facility has not achieved Facility Substantial Completion, Dollars ($***) per MW by which the aggregate Block Measured Capacities of all of the Blocks is less than *** percent (***%) of the Guaranteed Capacity of the Facility; provided that any amounts that Contractor is obligated to pay to Owner under this Section 17.2 are subject to the limitations set forth in Article 29. Payment of Facility Delay Liquidated Damages shall be made payable within thirty (30) Days after Contractor's receipt of Owner's invoice.

17.3 Block Capacity Liquidated Damages. If after the Block Substantial Completion Date of a Block (if such date is on or after the Guaranteed Block Substantial Completion Date for such Block), the Final Test Results of the most recent Capacity Test for such Block demonstrates that the Block meets the Minimum Capacity Level but not the Guaranteed Capacity (adjusted for uncertainty in accordance with Exhibit 16A) for such Block, Contractor shall pay to Owner liquidated damages for such shortfall (“Block Capacity Liquidated Damages”) in an amount equal to, for each Day that the Block Measured Capacity of such Block is below the Guaranteed Capacity (adjusted for uncertainty in accordance with Exhibit 16A) of such Block, Dollars ($***) per MW; provided that any amounts that Contractor is obligated to pay to Owner under this Section 17.3 are subject to the limitations set forth in Article 29. Block Capacity Liquidated Damages shall cease to accrue upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which a Capacity Test for such Block demonstrates that such Block has achieved the Guaranteed Capacity (adjusted for uncertainty in accordance with Exhibit 16A) and (ii) the date that any Final Capacity Liquidated Damages are paid. After taking into account the set-off against the bonus payable under Section 17.1(b) in accordance with Section 17.4, any amount Contractor is obligated to pay to Owner under this Section 17.3 shall be due and payable within thirty (30) Days after Contractor's receipt of Owner's invoice submitted not more frequently than monthly. Notwithstanding the provisions above in this Section 17.3, Contractor shall not be obligated to pay any such Block Capacity Liquidated Damages with respect to any Day on which the Cumulative MWs exceeds Scheduled MWs for such Day as set forth in Exhibit 4B.

17.4 Netting. If any undisputed Block Delay Liquidated Damages are payable pursuant to Section 17.1(a) or any undisputed Block Capacity Liquidated Damages are payable pursuant to Section 17.3, the aggregate amount of undisputed Block Delay Liquidated Damages and undisputed Block Capacity Liquidated Damages payable shall be set-off against the aggregate amount of undisputed bonus payable pursuant to Section 17.1(b) on a pro rata basis, and (a) Contractor shall pay the net amount (if any) of undisputed Block Delay Liquidated Damages and the undisputed Block Capacity Liquidated Damages to Owner in accordance with Section 17.1(a) and Section 17.3, respectively and (b) Owner shall pay the net amount (if any) of undisputed bonus payable pursuant to Section 17.1(b).

17.5 Final Capacity Liquidated Damages.

(a) Contractor agrees that if based on the results of the Facility Capacity calculation performed in accordance with Exhibit 16A, the Facility shall have failed to achieve the Guaranteed Capacity, Contractor shall pay to Owner upon Facility Substantial Completion an amount equal to (a) the Contract Price multiplied by the quotient of the *** divided by the *** (expressed as a percentage) plus (b) the *** (if any) due or that will be due under the ***, without duplication (the “Final Capacity Liquidated Damages”).

*** CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

(b) In the event Contractor has paid Final Capacity Liquidated Damages pursuant to Section 17.5(a), and, following additional Capacity Tests conducted in compliance with the provisions set forth in Section 15.5, if the Facility Capacity calculation resulting from the last of such additional Capacity Tests (i) reduces the Capacity Shortfall, Owner shall reimburse Contractor the corresponding amount of Final Capacity Liquidated Damages resulting from such reduction or (ii) increases the Capacity Shortfall, Contractor shall pay to Owner additional Final Capacity Liquidated Damages calculated in accordance with Section 17.5(a).

(c) Amounts payable by Contractor to Owner pursuant to Section 17.5(b) may be set off by Owner against the payment due for Final Completion on the final Application for Payment. Any amounts that Contractor is obligated to pay to Owner under Sections 17.5(a) or 17.5(b) are subject to the limitations set forth in Article 29. After Contractor's payment of Final Capacity Liquidated Damages, Contractor shall have no further obligation to try to achieve, and no further liability to Owner for failure to achieve, the Guaranteed Capacity.

17.6 Liquidated Damages Reasonable. The Parties agree that the extent and amount of loss or damage to Owner as result of Contractor's failure (a) to achieve Block Substantial Completion by the Guaranteed Block Substantial Completion Date of a Block, (b) to achieve Facility Substantial Completion by the Guaranteed Facility Substantial Completion Date and (c) to achieve the Guaranteed Capacity for a Block or the Facility is impractical and difficult to determine with certainty. The Parties agree that such liquidated damages are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages suffered by Owner by reason of Contractor's failure to achieve or cause the Project to satisfy, obtain or achieve each Guaranteed Block Substantial Completion Date, the Guaranteed Facility Substantial Completion Date or the Guaranteed Capacity for a Block or the Facility and are not intended as a penalty. ***, the amounts payable by Contractor to Owner under this Article 17 shall be Contractor's sole and exclusive liability to Owner, and Owner's sole and exclusive remedy, with respect to Contractor's failure (i) to achieve Block Substantial Completion of a Block by its Guaranteed Block Substantial Completion Date, (ii) to achieve Facility Substantial Completion by the Guaranteed Facility Substantial Completion Date or (iii) to achieve the Guaranteed Capacity for a Block or the Facility. If Contractor fails to pay any Block Delay Liquidated Damages, Facility Delay Liquidated Damages, Block Capacity Liquidated Damages or Final Capacity Liquidated Damages owing under this Article 17, Owner may deduct the amount thereof from any payment due, or that may become due, to Contractor under this Agreement or if no payment is due, may invoice Contractor for such amount. Nothing in this Article 17 shall be construed as relieving Contractor of its obligation to achieve Facility Substantial Completion.

17.7 Energy and Revenues of the Project. Any energy or revenues generated by the Project at any time, including during the performance of any testing, shall be solely for the benefit of Owner. This Section 17.7 shall not limit Contractor's right to receive any bonus in accordance with Section 17.1(b).

17.8 EITC and Depreciation Loss.

*** CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

(a) The Parties acknowledge that the Contract Price reflects, in part, the value to Owner of certain tax benefits (as specified below) and to obtain those tax benefits in accordance with the expected schedule for the construction and completion of the Project.

(b) If any Block is not completed in accordance with the Guaranteed Block On-line Schedule (as in effect on the Effective Date) for any reason other than, subject to Section 17.8(f), an Owner-Caused Delay, an Excusable Event, a Force Majeure Event (but only with respect to subclause (ii) below) or an Owner Event of Default, then Contractor shall pay Owner, as a Contract Price adjustment and not as a penalty, the following amounts:

(i) an amount equal to the dollar amount associated with the ***, and for such Block less the *** for such Block

(ii) an amount for each Block equal to the equivalent of interest (using the Wall Street Journal “prime rate” as of the dates specified below as an annual rate, compounded annually) on the following amounts, determined as follows: the *** (A) with respect to ***, interest on the amount paid pursuant to Section 17.8(b)(i) for the period from the applicable *** payment dates on which Owner would have taken all or any part of the corresponding *** into account when paying its *** taxes (assuming Owner will pay its *** taxes based on the annualized income installment method of Section 6655(e)(2) of the Code (using the annualization periods set forth in Sections 6655(e)(2)(A) and (B) of the Code)) until such payment pursuant to Section 17.8(b)(i) is received by Owner, and using as the interest rate the Wall Street Journal “prime rate” as of the first Business Day preceding the date of such first *** tax installment payment, plus (B) the *** of the deferred tax depreciation available to Owner with respect to each *** based on the difference between the *** that would have been available had *** achieved *** for each *** on its *** (assuming that each *** is deemed Placed in Service upon achieving ***) and the available depreciation deductions (determined based on the same principles and tax rates specified in the definition of *** (utilizing in the last sentence thereof *** rather than ***)) given the applicable actual ***, assuming Owner pays *** taxes when specified in Section 17.8(b)(ii)(A) and such time value is calculated based on the hypothetical *** tax payments that would be made on each estimated tax payment date given actual ***, compared to the hypothetical *** that would have been made had *** achieved *** for each *** as specified above in this Section 17.8(b)(ii)(B) and using as the interest rate the Wall Street Journal “prime rate” as of the first Business Day preceding the date of such first *** tax *** payment that is affected by such *** or ***, plus (C) the ***. For the avoidance of doubt, there is to be no “double counting” of the interest factors calculated under Sections 17.8(b)(ii)(A) and 17.8(b)(ii)(C) with respect to EITCs, and in the event the interest factor determined under Section 17.8(b)(ii)(A) includes with respect to the reduced EITCs reimbursed under Section 17.8(b)(i) a portion of the time value captured under Section

*** CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

17.8(b)(ii)(B) with respect to the deferral of EITCs, then the amount due under Section 17.8(b)(ii)(B) shall be reduced by the amount of such overlap.

(c) Any Contract Price adjustment required by Section 17.8(b), shall be paid within thirty (30) Days of Owner providing Contractor a written request setting forth the calculations in reasonable detail.

(d) Within ten (10) Days of receipt of such request, Contractor may request that KPMG LLP (so long as they are not the accounting firm used by either Party) or another nationally recognized independent accounting firm selected by Owner and reasonably acceptable to Contractor verify the calculation. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne by Contractor; provided, however, if the accounting firm determines that Owner's calculations were overstated by more than five (5) percent, then Owner shall pay (or, if applicable, reimburse Contractor) for such fees and expenses. Absent manifest error, the determination of such accounting firm shall be final and binding upon the parties.

(e) The calculation of any amount due pursuant to Section 17.8(b) is intended to be hypothetical. Therefore, the amount shall not be altered based on (i) Owner's actual federal income tax posture or liability, (ii) any audit or adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service, (iii) any transfer, merger, sale, reorganization, lease, financing or other transaction entered into by Owner or any Affiliate thereof, (iv) any tax election made by Owner or any Affiliate thereof, (v) any penalties or interest payable to any tax authority, and (vi) all state tax items shall be disregarded.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely as it relates to Contractor's liability under ***, Contractor agrees that it shall not be entitled to claim that the occurrence of events described in *** or *** of the first sentence of *** are a *** to liability for Contractor's failure to achieve Facility Substantial Completion by *** unless: (i) delays caused by such events exceed *** (***) Days in the *** during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the date on which Contractor completes *** percent (***%) of the Facility; (ii) delays caused by such events exceed *** (***) Days in the *** during the period commencing on the day after the date on which Contractor completes *** percent (***%) of the Facility and ending on the date on which Contractor completes *** percent (***%) of the Facility; (iii) delays caused by such events exceed *** (***) Days in the *** during the period commencing on the day after the date on which Contractor completes *** percent (***%) of the Facility until the day that is *** (***) Days prior to ***; (iv) delays caused by such events occur on or after the day that is *** (***) Days prior to ***; or (v) items (i)-(iv) have resulted in delays in excess of *** (***) Days in the ***; provided, however, that *** must demonstrate that the events described in *** or *** of the first sentence of *** had an *** and *** impact to the Contractor *** set forth on the Construction Schedule and Contractor has used reasonable efforts to minimize and mitigate the impacts of any such events.

17.9 Enforceability. The Parties explicitly agree and intend that the provisions of this Article 17 shall be fully enforceable by any court exercising jurisdiction over

*** CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

any dispute between the Parties arising under this Agreement. Each Party hereby irrevocably waives any defenses available under law or equity relating to the enforceability of the liquidated damages provisions set forth in this Article 17 on the grounds that such liquidated damages provisions should not be enforced as constituting a penalty or a forfeiture.
