CFZ shall, within a two (2) working days period, notify VOLCANO in writing of any delays and its impact towards the Delivery Date in the Construction Schedule caused by VOLCANO or its separate contractors, as well as any event that would permit an extension of time. If CFZ is delayed in the performance of CFZ’s Work by reason of an VOLCANO Delay (including delays in approvals of Change Orders,

13

plans, etc.), then, subject to CFZ’s compliance with the foregoing notice provision, the Hand Over Date which is affected by such VOLCANO Delay shall be extended. Any delays in the performance of CFZ’s Work caused by changes in CFZ’s Work requested by VOLCANO (“VOLCANO Changes”) shall be deemed to be a VOLCANO Delay.

3.4 Cost Control: CFZ’s cost control process shall be implemented to monitor actual construction costs versus the accepted budget. Beginning with initial contract awards, the cumulative amount of committed funds is carefully monitored. The data is compiled and continuously compared to the approved estimate and updated by means of the Budget Execution Report. CFZ or a Subcontractor, as determined among such parties, shall be responsible for all cost-overruns, if any, of the Subcontractors, unless such excess costs have been approved by VOLCANO pursuant to a Change Order.

3.4.1 Construction Budget: An Initial Estimate Budget will be created by CFZ in the Preconstruction Phase, which shall be updated as provided for the schedules in Section 3.3 above. Each additional budget will be based on the documents issued at that time and will be compared with the Initial Estimate Budget or to the subsequent budget and the Contract Sum. The next budget will be based on the design development documents. CFZ will develop the itemized estimate and draw upon the local subcontractor market to assist in the budgeting and shall include the impact of the local market.

3.4.2 “Budget Execution Report”: A contract cost report is issued monthly summarizing the current financial status of the Project. The report shows the approved budget and notes all variances from that estimate due to changes initiated by VOLCANO or other required modifications. CFZ shall prepare the Budget Execution Report. The Budget Execution Report shows changes in two categories: “approved,” i.e. a Change Order has been approved by VOLCANO; “potential,” i.e. change estimate has been submitted and awaits approval by VOLCANO or an approximate estimate has been developed and submitted as an early warning system for identifying potential cost. CFZ shall develop cash flow reports and forecasts for the Project and advise VOLCANO as to variances between actual and budgeted or estimated costs. Acceptance and approval of all cash flow reports and forecasts prepared by CFZ will be subject to VOLCANO’s approval.

3.4.3 Payment Application and Change Order Procedures: Once a month CFZ shall submit Payment Applications for all approved Work performed, whether performed by itself or by Subcontractors and work with VOLCANO to establish a monthly Application for Payment procedure, including supporting documentation. CFZ will also develop a detailed Subcontract Change Order

14

procedure control plan that shall apply to CFZ and all Subcontracts. As part of such plan, CFZ shall review requests for changes, assist in negotiating Subcontractors’ proposals, submit recommendations to the VOLCANO, and, if approved by VOLCANO, prepare documentation that incorporates the modifications to the applicable Subcontract. All applications for progress and final payment to Subcontractors will be sent to CFZ by Subcontractors, who shall review them and if approved, request final payment from VOLCANO.

3.4.4 Review of Applications for Payment from Subcontractors. Within seven calendar days after receipt of a Subcontractor’s payment application, CFZ shall review the payment application and all supporting documentation for the amounts claimed due to be in compliance with the applicable Subcontract and this Contract, and if CFZ approves such payment application CFZ shall forward to VOLCANO an equivalent CFZ Payment Application in accordance with the terms of this Contract including supporting documents and information.
