If Contractor, any of its Subcontractors, or any Agent For Contractors cause or permit a Release of any Hazardous Substances brought to the Job Site by Contractor, its Subcontractors or Agent For Contractors on, at, under or from the Job Site, Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense: (a) immediately notify Owner in writing; (b) comply with all applicable Laws, Permits and Applicable Codes and Standards and take all necessary steps to protect human health and the environment, and shall not exacerbate such condition; and (c) diligently proceed to take all necessary actions to clean up fully any contamination or impacts resulting therefrom. If Contractor, any of its Subcontractors, or any Agent For Contractor encounter a Release of any Hazardous Substances on, at, under or from the Job Site that is not caused or permitted by any of them or any Pre-Existing Hazardous Substances, Contractor shall: (a) immediately notify Owner in writing; (b) comply with all applicable Laws, Permits and Applicable Codes and Standards and take all necessary steps to protect human health and the environment, and shall not exacerbate such condition; and (c) diligently proceed to take all necessary actions to assist Owner’s efforts to clean up fully any contamination or impacts resulting therefrom;

3.8.47 during the performance of the Work, maintain an office at the Job Site, in a temporary or permanent structure that shall be subject to the approval of Owner, which shall serve as the offices for Contractor, Owner and Owner Contractors, and upon completion of the Work, leave such offices, which shall remain the property of Owner, in a clean condition satisfactory to Owner;

3.8.48 cooperate and cause the Subcontractors and Agent For Contractors to cooperate with Owner, Owner Contractors, the Pipeline Contractor and other unrelated contractors who may be working at or near the Job Site in accordance with the Project Schedule in order to assure that neither Contractor nor any of the Subcontractors nor any of the Agent For Contractors unreasonably hinders or increases or makes more difficult the work being done by or on behalf of Owner, the operation of the Facility and other unrelated contractors at or near the Job Site;

38

R.S. 9:4801, et seq.; and

39

3.8.59 as applicable as a condition precedent to final payment by Owner hereunder, at Owner’s request, Contractor shall file, or concur with the filing of, a request for cancellation of the Notice of Contract pursuant to Louisiana Revised Statute 9:4832.A.

3.9.1 Promptly following Contractor’s issuance of a Subcontract or the execution of an Agent For Contract, Contractor shall deliver to Owner a detailed list (that shall include pricing information) of all Subcontractor, Agent For Contractor and Contractor-recommended capital spare parts, other spare parts and special tools necessary for operating and maintaining the Facility (excluding all spare parts and special tools supplied as part of the Owner Furnished Equipment and Materials), including components and systems of the Facility (collectively, “Spare Parts”), following each LNG Production System Substantial Completion Date and the Facility Substantial Completion Date. One hundred eighty (180) Days prior to LPS5 Substantial Completion Date, Owner shall specify in writing which items on the list it wishes Contractor to purchase and whether such items are requested to be delivered to the Job Site prior to LNG Production System Substantial Completion for an LNG Production System, Facility Substantial Completion or Final Completion, as applicable. For those Spare Parts Owner directs Contractor to purchase, Contractor shall purchase such Spare Parts on the best available commercially reasonable terms (including all rebates and discounts). In addition to ordering and purchasing the Spare Parts as provided above, Contractor shall receive, inspect, deliver to storage and take all other reasonable actions for the storage and maintenance of the Spare Parts until the Final Completion Date.

3.9.2 Contractor shall properly store and categorize all spare parts provided pursuant to Section 3.9.1 in order to preserve such spare parts and prevent corrosion, and shall create and maintain a computerized inventory of all such spare parts. Contractor shall submit the inventory control system to Owner for review and such inventory control system shall be approved by Owner prior to its implementation. Contractor shall cause the inventory control system to be transferred to Owner’s computer system at the Facility prior to the LPS5 LNG Production System Substantial Completion Date. Any spare parts purchased by Owner that are present at the Job Site prior to Owner’s assumption of the care, custody and control of the Facility pursuant to Section 18.1.3 and during the Warranty Period may be reasonably used by Contractor following written permission by Owner; provided, however, that Contractor shall be required to replace such spare part with an identical new replacement on an expedited basis.

3.10.1 Within [***] Days after the date of issuance of the initial Limited Notice to Proceed, Contractor shall provide Owner with an estimated schedule of the planned air, marine and land shipments for which Contractor is responsible, identifying (a) equipment estimated to be essential to the Critical Path, (b) the equipment and values to be contained in each shipment, and (c) other specific information reasonably required by insurance underwriters (including the vessel and/or vehicle identification, the itinerary and schedule along with scheduled shipping dates from each Satellite Facility or Contractor’s, a Subcontractor’s, an Agent For Contractor’s or their

40

supplier’s warehouse) (collectively, the “Shipping Information”). Thereafter, in order for Owner to secure insurance for each marine, air and land shipment made by Contractor, Contractor shall provide monthly updates to Owner and Owner’s designated cargo insurer of any changes to the Shipping Information. Contractor shall not permit any shipment to be made until such Notice is timely given to Owner. Shipping delays incurred by Contractor or any Subcontractor or Agent For Contractor as the result of delays in securing cargo insurance to the extent due to Contractor’s failure to supply such Notice on a timely basis shall not be the basis for an Owner Caused Delay. Contractor shall ensure that all shipments of cargo by Contractor or any Subcontractors or Agent For Contractors comply with requirements related thereto of such insurance providers.

3.10.2 Each shipment manifest of Contractor and any Subcontractor or Agent For Contractor will be prepared in a format consistent with the reasonable requirements of Owner.

4.1.1 Owner may issue to Contractor a Notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-13 (the “Notice to Proceed”) specifying the date for full commencement of the Work (the “Notice to Proceed Date”), which date shall not be prior to either the date that Contractor receives the Notice to Proceed and the advance payment of a mutually agreeable fixed amount that is specified in the Notice to Proceed to be due and payable upon the issuance of the Notice to Proceed. One hundred percent (100%) of such advance payment shall be credited as an offset against Reimbursable Costs, Contractor’s G&A and Contractor’s Margin owed by Owner to Contractor from and after the Notice to Proceed Date, until such advance payment is reduced to zero. Subject to any Limited Notice to Proceed, Contractor shall commence the Work only after the Notice to Proceed Date specified in the Notice to Proceed and thereafter diligently pursue the Work, assigning to it a priority that will ensure LNG Production System Substantial Completion of each LNG Production System on or before the applicable LNG Production System Substantial Completion Deadline, Facility Substantial Completion on or before the Facility Substantial Completion Deadline and Final Completion on or before the Final Completion Deadline. Contractor shall proceed with the performance of the Work in accordance with the Project Schedule; provided, however, that any failure of Contractor to pursue the Work in accordance with the Project Schedule shall not relieve Contractor of any liability hereunder.

4.1.2 Prior to the issuance of the Notice to Proceed, Owner intends to obtain sufficient funds from one or more Lenders to fulfill its payment obligations under this Agreement. Owner shall not issue the Notice to Proceed, and therefore shall have no payment obligations under this Agreement, unless and until the date on which it has obtained written and binding commitments in respect of such funds.

4.1.3 On or prior to Owner’s issuance of the Notice to Proceed pursuant to this Section 4.1 or within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, whichever is later, Contractor shall provide the Performance and Payment Bonds to Owner as required pursuant to Article 9.

41

4.1.4 If prior to [***] (or such other date as the Parties may mutually agree in writing), Owner has not (a) issued the Notice to Proceed pursuant to this Section 4.1 or (b) issued a Change Order to Contractor for an equitable extension of the Project Schedule in accordance with Exhibit D, then either Party shall be permitted to terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice thereof to the other Party.

Prior to the issuance of the Notice to Proceed, Owner shall have the right to issue one or more limited notices to proceed directing Contractor to commence and complete any portion of the Work specified in any such limited notice to proceed and subject to the terms of this Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-8 (each, a “Limited Notice to Proceed”), except as otherwise agreed by Owner and Contractor. All activities required to be performed thereunder shall be done in accordance with the requirements for the Work hereunder. Contractor shall not be required to commence performance of the Work described in a Limited Notice to Proceed until it has received payment of a mutually agreeable fixed amount that is specified in the Limited Notice to Proceed to be due and payable upon the issuance of the Limited Notice to Proceed. One hundred percent (100%) of such payment shall be credited as an offset against subsequent Reimbursable Costs, Contractor’s G&A and Contractor’s Margin owed by Owner to Contractor, as applicable. Upon issuance of the Notice to Proceed, all such performance of the Work under a Limited Notice to Proceed shall constitute Work done pursuant to this Agreement.

5.1.1 Contractor represents to Owner that it, its designers and its design Subcontractors have the experience and capability necessary for the design and performance of the Work. Contractor undertakes that its personnel and design Subcontractors shall be available to attend discussions with Owner and the Independent Engineer at all times at the Job Site or other mutually agreed locations during the performance of the Contractor’s obligations hereunder.

5.1.2 Contractor, all Subcontractors and all personnel used by Contractor and Subcontractors in the performance of the Work shall be qualified by training, licenses or certifications, as required, and experienced to perform their assigned tasks. Contractor shall not use in the performance of the Work any personnel reasonably deemed by Owner to be incompetent, careless, unqualified to perform the work assigned to them, unsafe, creating an unsafe work environment or interfering with the completion of the Work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner shall have no liability and Contractor agrees to release indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Owner Indemnitee from and against any and all Losses, of whatsoever kind or nature, which may directly or indirectly arise or result from Contractor or any Subcontractor terminating the employment of or removing from the Work any such employee who fails to meet the foregoing requirements following a request by Owner to have such employee removed from the Work.

5.1.3 Contractor shall maintain labor relations in such a manner that, so far as reasonably practicable, there is harmony among workers. Contractor and the Subcontractors shall conduct their labor relations in accordance with the recognized prevailing local area practices, applicable Law, Permits, Applicable Codes and Standards and Owner Standards.

42

The Contractor’s organizational structure for the performance of the Work is provided in Exhibit K. Prior to the commencement of the Work, the Key Personnel shall hold the positions indicated in Exhibit K. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that the continuity of Key Personnel in connection with the Work is a material requirement of this Agreement and that the replacement of any Key Personnel will be detrimental to Owner and the overall quality of the Work. The Key Personnel will be engaged full-time and exclusively in the prosecution of the Work continuously until their role is completed, unless prior release is approved or directed by Owner; provided however, Key Personnel may be removed by Contractor without Owner’s consent for (a) termination of a Key Personnel’s employment with the Contractor or its Affiliates, or (b) a Key Personnel dying, retiring, resigning, or becoming seriously ill, or a serious illness or death in the family of a Key Personnel. Revisions to the organizational structure of Key Personnel shall be subject to Owner’s prior approval, and replacement of, or additions to, such Key Personnel shall only be made with persons having qualifications equal to or better than those replaced or added to, and shall be similarly subject to Owner’s prior approval. All requests for the substitution of Key Personnel shall include a detailed explanation and reason for the request and the resumes of professional education and experience for a minimum of two (2) candidates of suitable qualifications and experience. Owner shall respond within ten (10) days of receiving the resumes with its written approval or detailed comments as to why approval is not granted. Should Owner approve of the replacement of a Key Personnel, Contractor shall allow for an overlap of a minimum of two (2) weeks during which both the Key Personnel to be replaced and the Owner-approved new Key Personnel shall work together full time. Owner may if it is concerned with the performance thereof request in writing the removal of, and Contractor shall promptly remove and replace, any Key Personnel. Contractor agrees that, notwithstanding its other business commitments, it will give the Work a priority and commit sufficient resources to the Work that will enable Contractor to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

6.1.1 The “Target Price” is an amount equal to [***], the principal components of which are more fully described in Exhibit B-2, as may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to a Change Order, to be paid pursuant to Section 6.3.

6.1.2 Contractor has satisfied itself as to (i) the correctness and sufficiency of the Target Price for the purposes of the waiver of any increase as described in Section 3.1.2 and (ii) the sufficiency of the Target Price for giving effect to the provisions of Article 8. The Target Price includes the estimated costs for the Materials, labor, transportation, services and Intellectual Property rights forming part of the Reimbursable Work and, including the costs of Materials,

transportation and storage of Materials and all Taxes other than sales and use taxes, duties and tariffs for which Contractor is responsible hereunder, the cost to Contractor to provide the Performance Security, and Contractor’s estimated cost for repair or replacement of all Defects and Deficiencies and other corrective Work prior to the commencement of the Warranty Period, including as described in Exhibit B.

43

6.1.3 For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that all items listed in Exhibit A – Attachment 5 (the “Closed Cost Items”) are included in the Work, the Project Schedule and the Target Price, and are subject to all other requirements of this Agreement. The Parties also acknowledge that Contractor shall neither submit nor be granted a Change Order to adjust the Target Price and/or Project Schedule for any Work related to the Closed Cost Items.

6.3.1 Not later than the 15th day of each Month N, Contractor shall submit to Owner for its approval a Request for Payment (simultaneously sending copies to the Independent Engineer, as Owner may direct), which shall set forth: (a) a reasonable good faith estimate of (i) the Reimbursable Work activities that will be performed during the second month (“Month N+2”) immediately following such Month N and (ii) the Direct Costs and Contractor’s G&A associated with such Reimbursable Work activities (the sum of clauses (i) and (ii) being referred to herein as an “Estimated Monthly Amount”) less, in the case of the Initial Request for Payment, the amount of the advance payment described in Section 4.1.1; (b) except for the Initial Request for Payment, the amount owed to Contractor in respect of the Reimbursable Work performed during the preceding month(s), together with Contractor’s G&A and Contractor’s Margin associated with such Reimbursable Work, that has not been paid to Contractor during such preceding month(s), as applicable; (c) except for the Initial Request for Payment, the amount by which the aggregate amount of Estimated Monthly Amounts paid to Contractor during the preceding month(s) exceeds the actual Direct Costs incurred by Contractor in the performance of the Reimbursable Work during the preceding month(s), calculated as of the last day of the month immediately preceding such month, and the Contractor’s G&A associated with such Direct Costs payable by Owner in respect of such Reimbursable Work; (d) without duplication of amounts described in clauses (a) through (c) above, any other amounts that may be due and owing from Owner to Contractor or from Contractor to Owner pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement, as well as Contractor’s Margin for any and all Margin Milestones achieved by Contractor during or prior to Month N as per the schedule defined in Appendix 1 of Exhibit D; and (e) all information and documentation required by Section 6.3.3.

6.3.2 Owner shall, with respect to the Initial Request for Payment, make payment of the net amount specified in such Request for Payment within fifteen (15) Business Days of its receipt of such Request for Payment and with respect to each subsequent Request for Payment in accordance with Section 6.6.

6.3.3 Each Request for Payment submitted by Contractor pursuant to Section 6.3.1 will be accompanied by: (a) a certificate of release and waiver of liens (other than Permitted Liens) from Contractor in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1; (b) a Payment Status Affidavit from Contractor in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-15; (c) certificates of release and waiver of liens (other than Permitted Liens) from each Major Subcontractor providing Materials or services described in the Request for Payment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2; (d) a Payment Status Affidavit from each Major Subcontractor in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-16; (e) a Monthly Progress Report pursuant to Section 13.3; (f) a report of Defects and Deficiencies pursuant to Section 10.2.1; (g) supporting documentation evidencing the Reimbursable Costs and

44

Contractor’s G&A that are defined in Exhibit B; (h) the aggregate accrued amount of the Contractor’s Margin (with supporting calculations) of which payment is requested in respect of the Margin Milestone(s) that have occurred in the previous month; and (i) any other information that Owner, the Lenders or the Independent Engineer may reasonably request (provided Contractor is given a reasonable period of time (in any case, not less than ten (10) Days) to satisfy such request prior to Contractor’s submission of a Request for Payment). Contractor shall itemize Taxes (which are Reimbursable Costs) by category and cost component, including Louisiana state and local sales/use tax and any other sales/use tax that Contractor may be responsible for collecting from Owner (by state and taxing jurisdictions), import duties, and sales tax of other states (by other state). Contractor shall only include Direct Costs in a Request for Payment in accordance with the rates and other provisions set forth in Exhibit B-1 and Exhibit C.

6.3.4 Amounts (a) owed by Owner to Contractor and (b) owed by Contractor to Owner shall, to the extent not paid when due pursuant to the terms hereof, accrue interest at the Late Payment Rate from the date payment thereof was due until the date of payment thereof in full (together with all accrued interest).

6.3.5 In no event shall the payment of any amount by Owner to Contractor constitute an acceptance of any Work, and Owner’s acceptance of the Work shall not relieve Contractor of any of its obligations hereunder.

6.3.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, failure by Owner to pay any amount in dispute until resolution of such dispute in accordance with this Agreement shall not alleviate, diminish, or modify in any respect Contractor’s obligations to perform hereunder.

6.3.7 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as expressly set forth in a Limited Notice to Proceed, Contractor shall not be obligated to perform any further Work and Owner shall not be obligated to make any further payment hereunder until after the Financial Closing Date has occurred.

6.3.8 Contractor’s Margin shall only be payable as and when required pursuant to, and in the amounts specified in, the Margin Milestones. For the avoidance of doubt, no Contractor’s Margin in respect of any Margin Milestone shall be due and payable by Owner until such Margin Milestone has been achieved by Contractor, such achievement being confirmed by a Certificate of Achievement to be provided by Contractor together with the relevant Request for Payment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Margin Milestone shall be due and payable by Owner until such Margin Milestone has been achieved by Contractor.

6.3.9 All Non-Reimbursable Costs shall be borne exclusively by Contractor. Contractor shall not include any Non-Reimbursable Costs in a Request for Payment or otherwise seek reimbursement from Owner of any Non-Reimbursable Costs.

6.3.10 Owner shall have the right to audit all documentation pertaining to each Request for Payment on reasonable prior notice to Contractor and during normal business hours in order to confirm the accuracy and completeness of such Request for Payment.

45

6.3.11 The Parties acknowledge that the amount of Contractor’s Margin payable by Owner in respect of each Margin Milestone is calculated based on a percentage of the then applicable Base Target Price. The following methodology will be applied with respect to any (i) adjustment to the Base Target Price after the Effective Date, (ii) instance where the aggregate amount of Direct Costs (other than Tax Costs) and Agent for Contract Costs (other than Tax Costs) incurred in the performance of the Reimbursable Work exceeds the then applicable Base Target Price or (iii) early termination of this Agreement:

(a) Upon an increase to the Base Target Price, the amount payable for each Margin Milestone in respect of which Contractor’s Margin has previously been paid shall be automatically increased to reflect the applicable milestone percentage of the amount of the increase to the Base Target Price, and the positive difference between such increased amount payable and the amount previously paid shall be invoiced by Contractor to Owner in the next following Request for Payment; provided, however, that any portion of the increase to the Base Target Price that has previously been invoiced to Owner and paid in accordance with clause (c) of this Section 6.3.11 shall be excluded from the application of this clause (a).

(b) Upon a decrease to the Base Target Price, the amount payable for each Margin Milestone in respect of which Contractor’s Margin has previously been paid shall be automatically decreased to reflect the applicable milestone percentage of the amount of the decrease to the Base Target Price, and the positive difference between the amount previously paid and such decreased amount payable shall be applied as a credit to Owner in the next following Request for Payment.

(c) If at any time the aggregate amount of Direct Costs and Agent for Contract Costs incurred in the performance of Reimbursable Work exceeds the then applicable Base Target Price, payments of Contractor’s Margin for all Margin Milestones shall be recalculated by applying such aggregate amount in place of the Base Target Price in the definition of “Contractor’s Margin”, and the positive difference resulting from such recalculation shall, with respect to each Margin Milestone in respect of which Contractor’s Margin has previously been paid, be invoiced by Contractor to Owner in the next following Request for Payment; provided, however, that the Contractor’s Margin shall not be adjusted pursuant to this clause (c) more than once every ninety (90) days.

(d) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to and in accordance with Article 31, the amount of Contractor’s Margin owed to Contractor upon such termination shall be calculated on the basis of all Direct Costs (other than Tax Costs) and Agent for Contract Costs (other than Tax Costs) incurred in the performance of Reimbursable Work prior to the date of such termination rather than the Appendix 1 of Exhibit D Margin Milestone payment schedule. If the amount of Contractor’s Margin calculated pursuant to the preceding sentence is greater or less than the aggregate amount of Contractor’s Margin paid to Contractor prior to the date of such termination, the difference shall be paid to Contractor or Owner, respectively.

46

6.4.1 Contractor covenants and agrees that, with the sole exceptions of (a) an arbitral or Government Authority’s decision in Contractor’s favor and (b) Permitted Liens, no mechanics’ liens, similar liens or any encumbrances whatsoever shall be filed or maintained by Contractor, any Subcontractor, any Agent For Contractor, or worker or other Person acting, directly or indirectly, through or under Contractor or any Subcontractor or Agent For Contractor, against the Job Site, the Facility (or any portion thereof), any Materials or Owner Furnished Equipment and Materials, any land or improvements pertinent thereto, for or on account of any Work done or to be done or Materials furnished or to be furnished hereunder (the foregoing types of liens, regardless of who files them, collectively, the “Indemnified Liens”). Any lien or encumbrance filed by Contractor shall be limited in scope to secure payment by Owner of the amount at issue in any applicable dispute resolution proceeding. Upon Owner’s payment of such amount, Contractor shall immediately, and in any event within seven (7) Days of such payment, effect release (and certify thereto) of any such lien or encumbrance. For the avoidance of doubt, if a dispute resolution proceeding is brought within the applicable statute of limitations, but the outcome of such proceeding is not determined until after the statute of limitations has expired, the Parties agree to waive the statute of limitations in order to effect the outcome of such dispute resolution proceeding.

6.4.2 If Contractor fails to satisfy the obligation set forth in Section 6.4.1 within thirty (30) days, Contractor agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Owner Indemnitees and the Owner’s title insurers against any and all Losses associated with any Indemnified Lien or any lien on an asset of Owner, and Owner shall have the right to (a) consider the amount of the lien or encumbrance as presumptively correct, (b) withhold from any payment to Contractor then due, or thereafter to become due (including the Final Request For Payment), an amount sufficient to completely indemnify Owner Indemnitees against such lien or encumbrance, (c) pay the amount of such lien or encumbrance and pursue recovery actions against Contractor and (d) retain out of the amount withheld an amount sufficient to compensate Owner for its expenses (including actual attorney’s fees) in the matter.

6.4.3 Contractor hereby subordinates any mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens or other claims or encumbrances that may be brought by Contractor against any or all of the Work, the Facility, or the Job Site to any liens granted in favor of the Lenders, whether such lien in favor of the Lenders is created, attached or perfected prior to or after any such liens, claims or encumbrances, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to require its Subcontractors to similarly subordinate their lien, claim and encumbrance rights. Contractor agrees to comply with reasonable requests of Owner for supporting documentation required by the Lenders in connection with such subordination, including any necessary lien subordination and other agreements and the filing of necessary documentation to effectuate such subordination. Nothing in this Section 6.4.3 shall be construed as a limitation on or waiver by Contractor of any of its rights under applicable Law to file a lien or claim or otherwise encumber the Facility as security for any undisputed payments owed to it by Owner hereunder which are past due; provided that such lien, claim or encumbrance shall be subordinate to any liens granted in favor of the Lenders.

Should Owner and the Lenders believe any Request for Payment is non-conforming (by being incomplete or inaccurate or by not otherwise satisfying the requirements for a Request for Payment hereunder), Owner shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to (a) request additional information with respect to such non-conforming Request for Payment or (b) reject the non-conforming portion of a Request for Payment, but pay the undisputed portion in accordance with

47

this Agreement. It is understood and agreed by the Parties that any Request for Payment which is non-conforming, to the extent of such non-conformance, shall not constitute a valid and proper Request for Payment, and Owner shall not be obligated to make payment of any disputed amounts related to such non-conformance until Contractor revises the Request for Payment or submits a Request for Payment in proper form.

Owner shall review each Request for Payment and may make such exceptions in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Not later than forty-five (45) Days after its receipt of a Request for Payment and supporting documentation in the manner, with such detail and at the time herein required, Owner shall make payment to Contractor in the amount required, less (i) any disputed portion of such Request for Payment, (ii) any undisputed amounts payable by Contractor to Owner hereunder from the immediately preceding billing period and (iii) any other Owner withholding rights explicitly set forth herein. Owner shall make payment of the net amount specified in each Request for Payment submitted in accordance with Section 6.3, less (i) any disputed portion of such Request for Payment, (ii) any undisputed amounts payable by Contractor to Owner hereunder from the immediately preceding billing period and (iii) any other Owner withholding rights explicitly set forth herein, not later than the last Business Day of the month immediately following the month in which such Request for Payment was received by Owner; provided, however, that if Contractor submits such Request for Payment to Owner after the 15th day of the relevant month, the time period within which Owner shall be obligated to make payment hereunder shall be extended by such number of days following such 15th day for which such Request for Payment was not submitted. See Exhibit B-4 for an example of such payment procedures.

Within thirty (30) days of the Final Completion Date, Contractor shall submit a final Monthly Progress Report and a final request for payment which shall set forth all amounts due and remaining unpaid to it (the “Final Request for Payment”), and upon approval thereof by Owner, Owner shall pay to Contractor the amount due under such Final Request for Payment. Together with the submission of the Final Request for Payment to Owner, Contractor shall: (a) furnish Owner a Clear Lien and Privilege Certificate pursuant to Section 3.8.58; (b) deliver evidence satisfactory to Owner that Contractor has filed a request for cancellation of the Notice of Contract pursuant to Section 3.8.59 and (c) deliver evidence satisfactory to Owner, including a Payment Status Affidavit from Contractor and all Major Subcontractors in the form of Exhibit F-15 and Exhibit F-16, respectively, and a release and waiver of liens from Contractor and all Major Subcontractors in the form of Exhibit F-3 and Exhibit F-4, respectively, that all claims, liens, security interests or encumbrances in the nature of mechanics’, labor or materialmen’s liens or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with the Facility, Job Site or the performance by Contractor, or any Major Subcontractor, of the Work, have been satisfied or discharged.

6.8.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the occurrence and continuance of any of the following events, Owner, upon Notice to Contractor, may withhold or retain such portion (including all) of any payment due to Contractor under this Agreement as reasonably necessary to ensure the performance of the Work or to protect fully Owner’s rights hereunder:

48

(a) Contractor is in default under Section 31.1 or has otherwise failed to perform any of its material obligations hereunder, but excluding (i) defaults for which the payment of liquidated damages is the sole and exclusive remedy as provided in Article 22, and (ii) costs attributable to any such default that are otherwise Direct Costs as provided in Exhibit B-1;

(b) there exists any outstanding and unpaid payment obligation owing by Contractor;

(c) provided that Contractor is then obligated to indemnify Owner for liens, (i) Contractor is not able to indemnify Owner to Owner’s satisfaction against any such lien that shall be registered against the Job Site, Facility (or any portion thereof), any Materials, any land or improvements pertinent thereto and such lien shall remain undischarged or (ii) Contractor, Owner or the Lenders shall have received any claims for liens arising in connection with this Agreement which have not been withdrawn, all arising as a result of any acts or omission of Contractor or any Subcontractors or Agent For Contractors;

7.4.1 Owner’s total liability to Contractor under this Article 7 shall not exceed the Schedule Bonus Cap.

7.4.2 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if at any time Contractor’s Margin is reduced pursuant to Section 8.2 to:

(a) [***], then the aggregate amount of all Schedule Bonuses in respect of which Contractor has been paid or is entitled to be paid shall be reduced by an amount equal to [***] of such aggregate amount;

(b) [***], then the aggregate amount of all Schedule Bonuses in respect of which Contractor has been paid or is entitled to be paid shall be reduced by an amount equal to [***] of such aggregate amount;

provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the reductions described in this Section 7.4.2 shall not be cumulative. If Owner has paid any Schedule Bonus(es) to Contractor prior to such reduction, then Owner may, without prejudice to Section 41.7, deduct from any amounts owed to Contractor hereunder an amount equal to the amount of such reduction.

7.4.3 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Owner determines that Contractor has not or will not be entitled to payment for any Primary Milestone or Super Primary Milestone pursuant to and in accordance with Section 7.2 and Section 7.3, respectively, Owner shall have no obligation to pay to Contractor any Schedule Bonuses pursuant to this

52

Agreement. If Owner has paid any Schedule Bonus(es) to Contractor prior to such determination, then Owner may, without prejudice to Section 41.7, deduct from any amounts owed to Contractor hereunder an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all such Schedule Bonuses previously paid.

7.4.4 For the avoidance of doubt, Contractor shall not be entitled to payment in respect of any Schedule Bonus unless and until the achievement of the relevant Schedule Milestone is confirmed by a Certificate of Schedule Milestone Achievement to be provided by Contractor together with the relevant Request for Payment.

8.1.1 Contractor acknowledges and understands that Owner has structured its Financing on the basis of the Target Price. Accordingly, Contractor agrees as a consequence that the Contractor’s Margin shall be subject to adjustment under the circumstances described in this Article 8, without impacting Owner’s obligation to reimburse Contractor for Direct Costs incurred by it in accordance with this Agreement.

8.1.2 For the purposes of this Agreement, “Total Costs” means, as of any date, an amount equal to the sum, as calculated by Owner pursuant to Section 8.2.3, of: (a) the Reimbursable Costs, Contractor’s G&A and Contractor’s Margin duly paid to Contractor by Owner pursuant to Section 6.3; (b) the Agent For Contracts Costs; (c) any costs incurred by Owner to perform portions of the Work or any other Contractor obligation that should have been performed by Contractor under this Agreement that are in excess of the amount that Owner would have paid to Contractor to perform such portions of the Work; and (d) any other cost expressed to be included in the calculation of Total Costs hereunder; provided that the Total Costs shall not include the Total Cost Exclusions. For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of the Total Costs as of the Final Completion Date shall include all such amounts owing, but not yet paid, to Contractor with respect to the Work performed through and including the Final Completion Date, including amounts set forth in the Final Request for Payment.

8.2.1 In the event that at any time a Cost Overrun exists that is greater than [***], Owner shall be permitted by written notice to Contractor to reduce the Contractor’s Margin for all purposes hereunder as follows:

(a) if the Cost Overrun is greater than [***], but less than or equal to [***], the Contractor’s Margin shall be reduced by applying a Margin Percentage of [***];

(b) if the Cost Overrun is greater than [***] but less than or equal to [***], the Contractor’s Margin shall be reduced by applying a Margin Percentage of [***];

53

(c) if the Cost Overrun is greater than [***], but less than or equal to [***], the Contractor’s Margin shall be reduced by applying a Margin Percentage of [***]; and

(d) if the Cost Overrun is greater than [***], the Contractor’s Margin shall be reduced by applying a Margin Percentage of [***].

8.2.2 Owner shall be permitted to reduce the Contractor’s Margin pursuant to Section 8.2.1 more than once if following Owner’s first delivery of a notice pursuant to Section 8.2.1 a Cost Overrun increases to exceed the next then applicable threshold set forth therein. Each reduction of Contractor’s Margin effected pursuant to Section 8.2.1 shall be applied both retroactively and prospectively, and all payments by Owner of Contractor’s Margin made prior to such reduction shall be retroactively adjusted to be equal to an amount calculated using the reduced Contractor’s Margin. In such event, without prejudice to Section 41.7, Owner may deduct from any amounts owed to Contractor hereunder an amount equal to the positive difference between the amount of the Contractor’s Margin previously paid to Contractor pursuant to Section 6.3 calculated using the previously applicable Contractor’s Margin and the amount of the Contractor’s Margin previously paid to Contractor as recalculated using the reduced Contractor’s Margin. Each notice delivered by Owner pursuant to Section 8.2.1 shall include Owner’s supporting calculations of the amount of the relevant Cost Overrun and, if applicable, the amount of such positive difference to be deducted from amounts owed to Contractor.

8.2.3 Within thirty (30) days following the Final Completion Date, Owner shall calculate and deliver to Contractor written notice of the amount by which the Total Costs exceed the Target Price, if any, as of the Final Completion Date, such notice to include Owner’s supporting calculations of the amount of such excess.

8.2.4 The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the Dollar values in Sections 8.2.1 and 8.2.3 are subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 4.1.4 and (b) the remedies set forth in this Section 8.2 are reasonable and appropriate measures of the damages for the circumstances described herein and do not represent a penalty.

8.3.1 Within [***] days following the Final Completion Date, Owner shall calculate and deliver to Contractor written notice of the Cost Savings, if any, such notice to include Owner’s supporting calculations of the amount of the Cost Savings. The Cost Savings shall be calculated as of the Final Completion Date. If there is a Cost Savings that is greater than [***], Owner shall make payment of the following amount to Contractor within [***] days of Owner’s delivery of written notice to Contractor:

54

(a) if the Cost Savings is greater than [***], but less than or equal to [***], an amount equal to [***] of the amount of the Cost Savings;

(b) if the Cost Savings is greater than [***] but less than or equal to [***], an amount equal to [***] of the amount of the Cost Savings;

(c) if the Cost Savings is greater than [***], but less than or equal to [***], an amount equal to [***] of the amount of the Cost Savings; and

(d) if the Cost Savings is greater than [***], an amount equal to [***] of the amount of the Cost Savings.

8.3.2 The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Dollar values in Section 8.3.1 are subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 4.1.4.

To secure Contractor’s performance of its obligations hereunder, Contractor acknowledges and agrees that Owner shall have the right to hold (a) the Performance and Payment Bonds and (b) the Contractor Guarantees.

9.2.1 On or prior to the Notice to Proceed Date or within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, whichever is later, Contractor shall deliver to Owner a performance bond (in the form of a bank letter of credit that is in form and substance satisfactory to Owner, such form to be included as Exhibit F-9A) and a payment bond (in the form of an insurance surety bond as provided in Exhibit F-9B) issued for the benefit of Owner (the “Performance and Payment Bonds”), in each case issued by a Qualified Surety.

9.2.2 The Performance Bond shall constitute security for all of Contractor’s payment and performance obligations hereunder. The Performance Bond shall have a face amount equal to [***] of the initial Target Price. In the event the Target Price is increased by one or more Change Orders or otherwise in an aggregate amount equal to or greater than [***] in accordance with the terms of this Agreement prior to the Facility Substantial Completion Date, Contractor shall increase the amount of the Performance Bond to reflect the corresponding increase in the Target Price by [***] of such increase, within [***] Days of such increase in the Target Price. Upon Facility Substantial Completion, the face amount of the Performance Bond shall be reduced to an amount equal to [***] of the then current Target Price. The Performance Bond will be held by Owner until the expiration of the Warranty Period.

55

9.2.3 The Payment Bond shall constitute security for the payments made by Owner to Contractor on or after the Notice to Proceed Date. The Payment Bond shall have a face amount equal to a variable percentage of the initial Target Price, as follows: (i) as of the Notice to Proceed Date, the face amount of the Payment Bond shall be equal to [***] of the initial Target Price; (ii) on the date that is [***] days following the Notice to Proceed Date, the face amount of the Payment Bond shall be increased to be equal to [***] of the initial Target Price; (iii) on the LPS5 Substantial Completion Date, the face amount of the Payment Bond shall be decreased to be equal to [***] of the initial Target Price; and (iv) on the LPS6 Substantial Completion Date, the face amount of the Payment Bond shall be decreased to be equal to [***] of the initial Target Price. The Payment Bond will be held by Owner until the Facility Substantial Completion Date.

9.2.4 In the event amounts are due under this Agreement from Contractor to Owner (including Schedule Delay Liquidated Damages), and such amounts are not paid by Contractor when due, Owner shall have the right, commencing [***] Business Days following Owner’s delivery of written notice thereof to Contractor, to draw amounts under the Performance Security equal to the amount owing by Contractor.

9.2.5 If at any time the surety that has issued the Performance and Payment Bonds is no longer a Qualified Surety, then Contractor shall replace such Performance and Payment Bonds with a replacement instrument complying with the terms hereof from a Qualified Surety within [***] Business Days from receiving notice from Owner.

9.3.1 On the Effective Date, Contractor shall deliver an executed Contractor Guarantee from each Contractor Guarantor. Contractor shall cause each of the Contractor Guarantees to remain in full force and effect until the expiration of the Warranty Period. Contractor acknowledges that Owner shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to issue demands for payment under either or both of the Contractor Guarantees.

9.3.2 As soon as available, but in any event within [***] Days after the end of the first three fiscal quarters of each Contractor Guarantor, Contractor shall deliver to Owner the unaudited and consolidated balance sheet of such Contractor Guarantor, as of the end of such quarter, the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows, and retained earnings and stockholders’ equity for such quarter, all of which shall be certified by the chief financial officer or equivalent officer of such Contractor Guarantor subject to normal year-end audit adjustments. As soon as available, but in any event no later than [***] Days after the end of each fiscal year of each Contractor Guarantor, Contractor or such Contractor Guarantor shall deliver to Owner a copy of the audited consolidated balance sheets at the end of each such year as well as the related consolidated statements of income, retained earnings, and cash flows for such year. All financial statements delivered pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall be complete and correct in all material respects and shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied consistently throughout the periods reflected therein. If a Contractor Guarantor makes the foregoing financial statements publicly available on its website or through filings pursuant to applicable securities laws, then the requirements of this Section 9.3 shall be deemed met by such Contractor Guarantor making such financial statements publicly available in accordance with the requirements of applicable securities laws or, otherwise, in accordance with its customary practice.

56

Within thirty (30) Days after the earlier of the Limited Notice to Proceed or Notice to Proceed, and prior to commencing any aspect of the Work, Contractor shall have submitted for Owner’s review and approval, and Owner shall have approved, as being in accordance with Owner Standards, a formal program for inspecting and testing all aspects of the Work (the “Quality Management Plan”). Owner shall have a period of thirty (30) Days following submittal to it of the Quality Management Plan to approve or comment upon the Quality Management Plan. If Owner approves the Quality Management Plan, or Owner does not approve or provide comments on the Quality Management Plan within such thirty (30) Day period, then Contractor may proceed to implement such Quality Management Plan; provided, however, that Owner may at any time require Contractor to amend the Quality Management Plan if it is not in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. The individual(s) responsible for implementing the Quality Management Plan shall be identified by Contractor to Owner.

10.2.1 Contractor shall perform, or cause to be performed, quality control and inspection activities related to the Work as required by the Contractor’s Quality Management Plan, this Agreement and Owner Standards. Prior to entering any purchase orders for Materials or any Subcontracts, Contractor shall provide Owner the quality control and inspection program for such Subcontractor, and Contractor shall (i) ensure that each such program is substantially the same as the approved Quality Management Plan, and (ii) require each such Subcontractor to provide periodic reports and maintain accurate and ongoing records showing compliance with each such quality control and inspection program. The Quality Management Plan must be adequate to meet the quality control and inspection needs of the Work, and Contractor may not rely upon Owner or any other Person or Government Authority to provide such services. Contractor shall inspect and test the Work, including all design, engineering, installation, Materials, tools and supplies performed or provided. All Defects or Deficiencies identified by such inspection or testing shall be included in the Monthly Progress Report submitted to Owner with the Contractor’s Request for Payment. The Monthly Progress Report shall describe in detail (a) all such Defects or Deficiencies identified, including a failure analysis of the problem, (b) a description of the solutions identified for each such Defect and Deficiency, (c) all Work that was re-performed or corrected and any related services rendered during the immediately preceding month and (d) all such Defects or Deficiencies not then corrected or re-performed. Contractor shall identify a solution for each such Defect and Deficiency as soon as possible, but in any event not later than seven (7) days after the date that such Defect and Deficiency is identified, and, in the case of known defects or deficiencies in Owner Furnished Equipment and Materials, notify and request a solution from Owner or Owner Contractors.

57

10.2.2 Contractor shall correct, or cause to be corrected, all Defects and Deficiencies as soon as practicable under the circumstances, and shall correct, or cause to be corrected, (a) any Defects or Deficiencies identified during the design process prior to the date that the procurement process begins, (b) any Defects or Deficiencies identified during the procurement process prior to the date that the shipping of Materials and equipment begins, (c) any Defects or Deficiencies identified during the performance of the Work prior to the start of the Demonstration Tests, (d) any Defects identified during the Demonstration Tests prior to the start of the Performance Tests (excluding Punch List Items) and (e) any Defects or Deficiencies identified during the Performance Tests prior to re-running the Performance Tests (excluding Punch List Items); provided that with respect to clauses (a) through (e) above, Contractor shall have the right, upon prior written notice to Owner, to re-sequence the Work (including not correcting the Defects in the order required by this Section 10.2.2) as necessary to correct such Defects or Deficiencies as efficiently and expeditiously as possible.

Owner and the Owner Designees shall have the right to inspect in accordance with Owner Standards all Work performed in accordance with this Agreement and any item of Materials, service or workmanship to be provided in accordance with this Agreement as and to the extent described in Exhibit A or referred to elsewhere herein, and Contractor shall arrange such inspection, at the request of Owner, at any location that Work is performed or where Materials are fabricated or stored. With respect to tests which Contractor is required to perform hereunder pursuant to Exhibit A or Exhibit R, whether the tests take place at Contractor’s factory, or at the factory of a Subcontractor or Agent For Contractor, or the Job Site, Contractor shall supply all necessary labor, materials, equipment, apparatuses, instruments and competent test personnel who shall be able to take complete charge of the tests, and shall be authorized to represent and make decisions for the proper carrying out of the tests; provided, however, that with respect to any test set forth in Exhibit A or Exhibit R which Owner or the Owner Designees are entitled to witness, Contractor shall not be required to re-perform such test by virtue of Owner’s or the Owner Designees’ failure to observe same if Owner shall have been given at least fifteen (15) Days’ notice thereof (except for routine in process inspections). Owner shall at any time have the right to reject, or to direct Contractor to reject, any such portion of the Work, including any design, engineering, Materials, installation, tools or supplies, which in Owner’s reasonable judgment do not conform to the provisions hereof, including the requirements set forth in Exhibit A and the Drawings and Specifications, or which contain Defects or Deficiencies. Upon such rejection, Contractor shall as soon as practicable under the circumstances, but in no case later than the commencement of the Performance Tests, remedy any such condition identified by Owner as giving rise to such rejection. In the case of discovered defects or deficiencies in Owner Furnished Equipment or Material, Contractor shall promptly notify Owner. Copies of all test certificates, performance curves and data sheets required by Owner shall be supplied by Contractor to Owner’s Representative in reproducible form. Sufficient information is to be given on all test certificates, performance curves and data sheets to enable the Materials to which they refer to be identified.

Contractor understands that the Owner Designees or the Lenders, and certain Government Authorities have or shall have the right, from time to time, to observe and inspect the Work and the Facility and to observe all tests of the Work and the Facility. Contractor shall allow such third-party inspectors access to the Work and the Facility and to the Contractor’s technical and design

58

records pertaining thereto, so long as either Owner’s Representative is present or Contractor has obtained the prior written approval of Owner. Owner agrees to protect as confidential anything designated by Contractor as such, whether by notation thereon or separate Notice; provided that in no event shall Owner be liable to Contractor for the failure of any party (other than Owner) to comply with the confidentiality requirements of Contractor.

In the event that Owner or the Owner Designees shall waive or fail to exercise their right to test and inspect as herein provided, such waiver or failure shall in no way relieve Contractor of its obligations to perform the Work, or any part of it, in accordance with this Agreement, nor shall such waiver or failure prejudice or affect the rights of Owner or the Owner Designees set forth herein; nor shall any test or inspection by Owner, any Lenders or the Owner Designees or any failure to test or inspect be construed as an approval or acceptance of the Work or any part thereof. However, if any test or inspection is otherwise successful, the failure of any or all of Owner or the Owner Designees to attend such test or inspection shall not alter the successful nature of the test or inspection; provided, however, that Contractor shall promptly provide to Owner detailed information of the test or inspection, including the information specified in Section 10.3.

Contractor shall be a “prime contractor” for all purposes under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 and shall take all actions necessary or advisable to ensure compliance with OSHA regulations and the health and safety of all persons at the Job Site, or portion thereof, until the earlier of (a) Owner’s issuance of written notice that Owner will assume the role of prime contractor for the Job Site, or such area or areas within the Job Site as specified in such notice, and (b) the termination of this Agreement.

11.2.1 Within sixty (60) Days after the Effective Date, and prior to commencing any aspect of the Work, Contractor shall have submitted for Owner’s review and approval, and Owner shall have approved, as being in accordance with Owner Standards and Exhibit U, a formal health, safety, security and environment program (the “HSSE Program”). Owner shall have a period of thirty (30) Days following submittal to it of the HSSE Program to approve or comment upon the HSSE Program. If Owner approves the HSSE Program, or Owner does not approve or provide comments on the HSSE Program within such thirty (30) Day period, then Contractor may proceed to implement such HSSE Program; provided, however, that Owner may at any time require Contractor to amend the HSSE Program if it is not in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, including those set forth in Exhibit U. The individual(s) responsible for implementing the HSSE Program shall be identified by Contractor to Owner. Contractor shall be responsible for initiating, maintaining and supervising all safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work in accordance with applicable Law, the Contractor’s safety procedures and Owner Standards.

59

11.2.2 Contractor shall provide sufficient supervision for health, safety, security and environmental protection (“HSSE”) and take all precautions necessary to provide all protection to prevent damage, injury or loss to (a) all employees engaged in connection with the Work and all other Persons who may be affected thereby, (b) all the Work and all Materials to be incorporated therein, whether in storage on or off the Job Site, under the care, custody or control of Contractor or any Subcontractors or Agent For Contractors, (c) other property at the Job Site or adjacent thereto or the access route to the Job Site, including trees, shrubs, lawns, walks, pavements, roadways, structures and utilities not designated for removal, relocation or replacement in the course of construction or (d) the environment (except as otherwise permitted under any Permit); provided that Contractor’s obligations in regard to (b), (c) and (d) shall be to comply with applicable Law, Permits, Owner Standards and the HSSE Program.

Contractor shall erect and maintain, as required by existing conditions and progress of the Work, all HSSE-related safeguards, including physical barriers, fences and railings. Contractor shall post danger signs and other warnings against hazards, promulgate safety regulations and notify owners and users of adjacent utilities of any dangerous or hazardous conditions. In accordance with Laws, Permits, Applicable Codes and Standards, and Owner Standards, Contractor shall exercise the utmost care in the use and handling of explosives or other Hazardous Substances or equipment and only competent, trained and experienced employees of Contractor or of any Subcontractor or Agent For Contractor shall be permitted to handle such explosives or other Hazardous Substances or equipment. All warning signs and notices shall be in English, Spanish and such other language as appropriate so that the safety communications will be understood by all personnel.

Contractor shall have the following HSSE incident and near miss reporting obligations:

11.4.1 Contractor shall report in writing to Owner (and, to the extent required by any applicable Law, Applicable Codes and Standards or applicable Permit, the appropriate Government Authority) details of any HSSE-related incident that occurs on or in the vicinity of the Job Site as soon as possible after its occurrence, but in any event no later than twenty-four (24) hours after such HSSE-related incident occurs. In the case of any fatality or Severe Injury, Contractor shall immediately (a) notify Owner (and, to the extent required by any applicable Law, Applicable Codes and Standards or Permits, the appropriate Government Authority), (b) stop all Work on or in the vicinity of the Job Site, (c) and schedule a meeting as soon as practical (but no later than twenty-four (24) hours after the occurrence of such fatality or Severe Injury) with Owner to review the incident and, if necessary and/or required by Owner, revise the Contractor’s HSSE precautions and programs. Following any meetings with Owner pursuant to this Section 11.4.1, Contractor shall implement all reasonable revisions to the Contractor’s safety precautions and programs as required by Owner, and upon Notice from Owner, Contractor shall recommence the performance of the Work. Contractor shall initiate incident investigations as soon as practical (but no later than forty-eight (48) hours after the occurrence of such HSSE-related incident). Owner shall be invited to participate in all investigations, and may elect to be an active participant in any investigation and reserves the right to perform a parallel investigation. Contractor shall promptly

60

send Owner copies of all citations issued by a Government Authority against Contractor resulting from or relating to an incident while performing the Work. Contractor shall report any HSSE-related incident and near misses at weekly HSSE meetings for review and discussion. Any delays in, or additional costs incurred in connection with, the Work resulting from the Contractor’s compliance with this Section 11.4.1 shall not form the basis for a Change Order.

11.4.2 In the event of any emergency situation that endangers or could endanger life, property or the environment, Contractor shall take such action as may be reasonable and necessary to prevent, avoid or mitigate injury, damage or loss and shall, as soon as possible, report any such incidents, including the Contractor’s response and actions with respect thereto, to Owner.

11.4.3 Whenever Owner shall, in its sole discretion, determine that such an emergency situation exists, or is imminent, with respect to any part or all of the Work or other activities on the Job Site, Owner shall have the right to occupy and control the Job Site and, should Owner deem it necessary, to modify any aspect of the Work related to such emergency situation including stopping or altering the Work.

12.1.1 Owner may at any time order changes to the Work. Contractor may propose changes to the Work for Owner’s consideration; provided that Owner shall not be obligated to approve any such change. Contractor shall be entitled to receive a Change Order in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.1.2 with respect to: (a) Force Majeure Events; (b) Owner Caused Delays; (c) Owner-directed or approved changes; (d) an act, omission or failure by Owner (in its capacity as owner under the Phase 1 Agreement) under the Phase 1 Agreement or an act, omission or failure by any party for which Owner (in such capacity) is responsible with respect to the Phase 1 Facility that demonstrably and adversely affects Contractor’s costs and/or ability to perform the Work in accordance with the Project Schedule under this Agreement (except in each case to the extent such affects on Contractor’s costs and/or ability to perform has already been addressed through an executed change order under the Phase 1 Agreement); (e) any failure by an Owner Contractor to perform its material obligations under the relevant Owner Contract that demonstrably and adversely affects Contractor’s costs and/or ability to perform the Work in accordance with the Project Schedule; (f) any error, inaccuracy or omission in or change by Owner to the Relied Upon Information that demonstrably and adversely affects Contractor’s costs and/or ability to perform the Work in accordance with the Project Schedule; (g) as provided elsewhere in this Agreement including in Sections 4.1.4, 12.4 and 16.3.2; (h) Pre-Existing Hazardous Substances which demonstrably and adversely impact Contractor’s costs and/or ability to perform the Work in accordance with the Project Schedule (except to the extent any additional costs or delay is the result of Contractor’s, its Subcontractors’ or Agent For Contractor’s Grossly Negligent act or omission or Willful Misconduct in the handling, storage or transportation of any Pre-Existing Hazardous Substance after discovery by Contractor, a Subcontractor or Agent For Contractor); (i) suspensions in the Work in accordance with Section 17.1.1 or Section 17.1.3, (j) a Carrollton Gage Delay; (k) any soils improvement cement reagent adjustment; and (l) any impact described in clauses (c), (f), (h) or (k) that arises under or relates to “Work” (as that term is defined under the Phase 1 Agreement) under the Phase 1 Agreement (except in each case to the extent such impact

61

has already been addressed through an executed change order under the Phase 1 Agreement); provided that, with respect BH Testing Delay, the Change Order which shall be limited to a day-for-day extension of the applicable LNG Production System Substantial Completion Date or the Facility Substantial Completion Date, as the case may be, equal to the number of days of such BH Testing Delay.

12.1.2 Contractor shall be entitled to receive only one Change Order with respect to the same act or event and shall not be entitled to aggregate the cumulative impact of such act or event or two or more acts or events. Unless a particular activity is demonstrated to adversely impact an LNG Production System Substantial Completion Deadline or the Facility Substantial Completion Deadline, no adjustment to such LNG Production System Substantial Completion Deadline or Facility Substantial Completion Deadline, as applicable, shall be made, and any adjustments to the Project Schedule made in connection with a Change Order shall take into account any available float for such activity that is affected by a Force Majeure Event, Owner Caused Delay or any other basis for a Change Order, as applicable.

12.1.3 Except for Owner-directed changes under Section 12.3, all changes in the Work shall be authorized by a written Change Order executed by Owner and Contractor. Any such Change Order shall be accompanied by additional and/or revised Drawings and Specifications, as reasonably necessary, and shall be priced as provided in Section 12.2. All such changes shall be performed under and governed by the provisions hereof and the relevant Change Order. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that the Independent Engineer is not an agent of Owner and is not authorized to execute Change Orders on behalf of Owner.

12.1.4 Contractor agrees that any Change Order shall constitute the final and complete compensation and satisfaction for all costs and schedule effects related to (a) the implementation of the stated changes, (b) the cumulative impact of effects resulting from the stated changes on all prior Work and changes in the Work to be performed as scheduled and (c) any costs associated with expediting the Work to mitigate the effect of any change or delay which costs shall be included in the Change Order. Contractor expressly waives any claims for additional compensation, damages or time extension in connection with the stated changes; provided, however, that if a Dispute exists with respect to any Change Order (whether proposed by Contractor or Owner), such Dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Article 36.

12.1.5 No Change Order shall be issued in connection with any Defects or Deficiencies on the part of Contractor or any Subcontractor or Agent For Contractor in the performance of the Work hereunder. No Change Order shall be issued in connection with the performance or completion of the Pre-Approved Site Work.

12.1.6 No Change Order request by Contractor shall be permitted after the Final Request for Payment is submitted. The Parties shall not be bound to any changes to the Work or this Agreement unless expressly set forth in a Change Order that has been signed by both Parties (or solely by Owner under Section 12.3.1) or determined in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article 36.

62

12.1.7 Contractor shall not comply with any oral changes in the Work received from or on behalf of Owner.

12.1.8 Except as specifically set forth in a Change Order, no Change Order shall modify or affect: (a) the Work or the requirements set forth herein; (b) the Target Price; (c) the Project Schedule; (d) the Critical Path; (e) any Applicable Deadline, (f) the Demonstration Tests or the Performance Tests; or (g) any other right, liability or obligation of Contractor hereunder.

12.2.1 Contractor shall provide Notice to Owner as soon as practicable, but no later than five (5) Business Days, after the time when Contractor knows of the impact of any Force Majeure Event, Owner Caused Delay or any other basis for a Change Order that will impact the Work. Failure to provide such Notice within ten (10) Business Days after the time when Contractor knows of the impact of any Force Majeure Event shall be deemed to be a waiver of the Contractor’s right to receive a Change Order with respect thereto. Such Notice shall, to the extent practicable, specify the estimated impact on the Target Price and/or the Project Schedule, as applicable, the impact upon the various portions of the Work occasioned by reason of such Force Majeure Event, Owner Caused Delay or any other basis for a Change Order, and shall substantiate the foregoing to the satisfaction of Owner. In the event that Contractor does not know or is unable to specify with reasonable certainty the impact upon the Work at the time such Notice is to be delivered, Contractor shall instead provide Owner with a notice of a potential or anticipated impact of any Force Majeure Event, Owner Caused Delay or any other basis for a Change Order that could impact the Work, and shall thereafter provide Owner (and, if requested by Owner, the Independent Engineer) with periodic supplemental Notices during the period that the Force Majeure Event, Owner Caused Delay or any other basis for a Change Order, as applicable, continues, detailing any developments, progress or other relevant information of which Contractor is aware. To the extent Owner (in consultation with the Independent Engineer with respect to a Material Change) agrees with the Contractor’s determination of a Force Majeure Event or Owner Caused Delay or any other basis for a Change Order, as applicable, and the effects thereof, Owner shall notify Contractor of Owner’s acceptance. In the event Owner (in consultation with the Independent Engineer with respect to a Material Change) does not accept the Contractor’s findings, Owner or Contractor shall be permitted to dispute such Change Order in accordance with Article 36, and Contractor shall be paid for any Work performed in respect of such disputed Change Order as provided in Section 12.2.5.

12.2.2 As soon as practicable, and in any event within fifteen (15) Days (or such other period as is mutually agreed by Owner and Contractor) after receipt from Owner of a request for a change or Notice of Owner’s acceptance under Section 12.2.1, Contractor shall submit to Owner a proposal for implementing the change indicating the estimated change to the Target Price and/or the Project Schedule, as applicable. If Owner (having consulted with the Independent Engineer in the case of a Material Change) agrees that the Contractor’s proposal should be implemented, Owner (having consulted with the Independent Engineer in the case of a Material Change) shall issue a Change Order incorporating such proposal. Upon receiving such Change Order, Contractor shall diligently perform the change in accordance with the terms thereof.

63

12.2.3 Contractor’s proposal required pursuant to Section 12.2.2 shall consist of: (a) a detailed material take-off with supporting calculations in accordance with the pricing structure herein, for pricing the change, (b) revisions, if any, to the Drawings and Specifications, (c) a schedule for the work associated with the proposed change, (d) the effect, if any, to the Target Price and/or the Project Schedule, as applicable, (e) the effect, if any, of the change on the Work, including the Performance Tests and/or Demonstration Tests (or protocol therefor), (f) changes, if any, to any right, liability or obligation of a Party or any other provision hereof and (g) changes, if applicable, to any Applicable Deadline.

12.2.4 Contractor’s supporting calculations shall show: (a) the estimated unit quantities, home office and Job Site manpower, Material usage and services to be added and/or deducted by size, type and/or amount provided; (b) the industry estimating reference or other basis used to determine prices, man-hours per unit of installed Materials, rental rates and other similar cost standards; (c) detailed cost breakdown for manpower, engineering and Materials; (d) the Contractor’s Margin; and (e) impacts, if any, to the Critical Path.

12.2.5 Contractor shall not suspend performance of this Agreement during the review and negotiation of any change (regardless of whether such change is proposed by Contractor or Owner), except as may be directed by Owner. Contractor shall commence and perform the changed Work specified in the Change Order issued by Owner under Sections 12.2.2 or 12.3.1, on a cost-reimbursable basis, using Exhibit B-1 and Exhibit C as the basis for such compensation. In the event Owner and Contractor are unable to reach agreement for pricing of a change, or time for performance of changed Work, disagreements regarding such Change Order shall be subject to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article 36. Pending resolution of the Dispute, Contractor shall perform the Work as specified in such Change Order and Owner shall continue to pay Contractor all Direct Costs and Contractor’s G&A and Contractor’s Margin applicable thereto associated with such Change Order.

12.3.1 If Owner (having consulted with the Independent Engineer in the case of a Material Change) disagrees in any way with any proposal of Contractor under Section 12.2, Owner may issue a Change Order to Contractor changing the Work and/or Project Schedule, which Change Order is executed solely by Owner, and Contractor shall be entitled to payment as set forth in Section 12.2.5 and the impact to the Target Price and/or the Project Schedule, as applicable, shall be resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article 36.

12.3.2 Any Change Order executed solely by Owner shall be accompanied by the Contractor’s proposal marked to show Owner’s modifications thereto and shall order Contractor to implement the change in accordance with the proposal as modified by Owner.

12.4.1 Contractor shall be entitled to receive a Change Order to the extent that it encounters subsurface conditions including geotechnical conditions, archaeological artifacts, fossils, underground utilities or manmade structures which materially differ from, or were not disclosed or provided to Contractor by Owner in Exhibit M or the Geotechnical Reports or which

64

were not identified by Contractor (or were not reasonably inferable or foreseeable) on the basis thereof, that (a) cannot be safely removed by heavy equipment present at the Job Site at no additional cost and without delay to Contractor, (b) are not Job Site Conditions and (c) cause an increase in the cost to complete the Work or cause a delay in Contractor’s performance of any Critical Path activities, to the extent actually and demonstrably caused by the existence of such geotechnical conditions, archaeological artifacts, fossils, underground utilities or manmade structures.

12.4.2 In the event Contractor encounters any conditions listed in Section 12.4.1 at the Job Site, Contractor shall leave such sites untouched and protected by fencing and shall immediately stop any Work affecting the area. Contractor shall notify Owner of any such discovery as soon as practicable, and Contractor shall carry out Owner’s instructions for dealing with the same. Contractor shall prevent its personnel, its Subcontractors’ personnel, the Agent For Contractors’ personnel and any other Persons from removing or damaging any such article or thing.

Owner may request that Contractor provide written information (prior to the issuance of a request for change) regarding the effect of a contemplated change on (a) the Work or the requirements set forth in Exhibit A, (b) the Target Price, (c) the Project Schedule, (d) the Critical Path, (e) any Applicable Deadline, (f) the Demonstration Tests or Performance Tests or (g) any right, liability or obligation of Contractor hereunder. The purpose of such a request will be to determine whether or not a change will be requested. Contractor shall provide the requested information within fourteen (14) Days after the receipt of said request. Such an information request by Owner is not a Change Order and shall not be construed to authorize Contractor to commence performance of the contemplated change in the Work.

Contractor shall prosecute the Work in accordance with or in advance of the Project Schedule; provided, however, that any failure of Contractor to adhere to the Project Schedule, for reasons which are not otherwise excused hereunder, shall not limit or otherwise reduce its obligations or liabilities hereunder.

13.2.1 Contractor shall develop, deliver and maintain the Project Schedule in accordance with Exhibit E. The Project Schedule shall be the reference schedule for the duration of the Work, and shall be in the form of Exhibit D.

13.2.2 Except as provided in Article 12 or otherwise expressly in accordance with Exhibits D and E, Contractor shall not make any alterations to the Project Schedule. During the performance of the Work, Contractor and Owner (including Owner’s Representative or his designee, and any other Persons designated by Owner, and the Contractor’s Key Personnel) shall, at a minimum, conduct meetings as provided in Exhibit E for the purpose of reviewing the progress of the Work, the latest Monthly Progress Report, the Quality Management Plan, the HSSE

65

Program, the Contractor’s, Subcontractors’ and Agent For Contractors’ adherence to the requirements set forth in Exhibit A, the Critical Path and the Project Schedule as well as the status of any claims on the Facility, the Job Site or the Work and claims submitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Contractor shall prepare and submit a monthly report meeting the requirements of Exhibit I (each, a “Monthly Progress Report”) to Owner, Owner’s Representative and the Independent Engineer with each Request for Payment but in no event later than the tenth (10^th) day of each month. Submission of Monthly Progress Reports shall continue until Contractor has completed all Work that is known to be outstanding at the time of Final Completion. Monthly Progress Reports shall include information relating to the performance of the Owner Contractors and the other information set forth in Exhibit I. The Parties agree that slippages in the Critical Path caused by Contractor, its Subcontractors or Agent For Contractors may be remedied by recovery plans and acceleration plans in accordance with Section 16.3, consisting of critical services, expediting of critical Material and equipment, the addition of productive construction equipment, additional competent supervision and other similar beneficial resources. It is further agreed that slippages in the Project Schedule known to Contractor will not be concealed from Owner, the Independent Engineer or the Lenders in the monthly reports.

Contractor shall be responsible for training Owner’s and/or its Affiliate’s regular operating personnel listed in Exhibit Q in accordance with Exhibit G. Training aids shall be provided by Contractor as required to adequately present the subject material. The general topics of the training will encompass reasonable information necessary for efficient and proper operation of each LNG Production System and the Facility, including operation, maintenance and repair. Training will consist of classroom, on-the job operational training and training using simulation software as necessary to comply with the requirements of this Article 14 and the requirements set forth in Exhibit A. Contractor shall design and submit an outline of a training program to Owner within one hundred eighty (180) Days after the Notice to Proceed Date and a detailed training program one hundred eighty (180) Days prior to commencement of training. Owner shall have a period of thirty (30) Days following submittal to it of the training program outline or detailed program to approve or comment upon each submittal. Contractor shall effect changes in response to Owner’s comments and resubmit the training procedures for Owner’s review and approval within fifteen (15) Days of receipt of such comments from Owner, and Owner shall have a further period of fifteen (15) Days following such resubmittal to approve. Contractor shall conduct at least one (1) full course of training prior to the start of any Pre-Commissioning activities. The training documentation and instruction shall be in the English language. All of the Contractor’s training personnel will speak fluent English as reasonably determined by Owner. All training provided by Contractor shall stress strict compliance with the operation and maintenance manuals, operating instructions, system checklists and/or procedures. If any of the Contractor’s training personnel repeatedly allow, encourage or demonstrate any attitudes or work practices that are not in strict compliance with the operation and maintenance manuals, operating instructions, system checklists and/or procedures, such training personnel shall be replaced by Contractor.

66

Contractor shall perform all customary or required factory tests of all of the Materials in accordance with the requirements set forth in Exhibit A or Exhibit R or by Owner Standards. Contractor shall issue a test memorandum to Owner no later than thirty (30) Days prior to the commencement of each factory test, which memorandum shall describe the factory test to be performed, the applicable item of Material being tested, the standards and method of testing, and the testing facility’s capabilities and shall state a proposed test date. Owner’s Representative and the representative of the Independent Engineer shall be permitted to attend and participate in all such factory tests. Contractor shall provide the results of such required factory tests to Owner within ten (10) Days of the completion of each such factory test. Successful completion of such factory test shall be a precondition to shipment of the tested item of Material.

15.2.1 Contractor shall submit Demonstration Test procedures and a level 3 Demonstration Test schedule at least sixty (60) Days before commencement of the Demonstration Tests in accordance with (and as defined in) Exhibit R. Prior to commencing any Demonstration Tests, Contractor shall submit to Owner a certification that the Facility is free of known Defects and Deficiencies and ready for performance of the Demonstration Tests in accordance with Exhibit R. Owner shall be given at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior Notice by Contractor of the commencement of any Demonstration Tests so that Owner can schedule its and/or its Affiliate’s personnel to witness such Demonstration Tests.

15.3.1 Unless Owner otherwise consents in writing (which consent may be withheld in Owner’s sole discretion and for any reason), Contractor must complete all Demonstration Tests, as applicable, and remedy all Defects or Deficiencies, which have been identified by such Demonstration Tests, prior to the start of any Performance Tests.

15.3.2 Owner or its Affiliate will cause qualified and experienced personnel to be available to Contractor for use in executing the Performance Tests and any rerun thereof in compliance with this Agreement and Exhibit R. Contractor shall direct and remain responsible for the actions or omissions of the operation and maintenance personnel (including the personnel of Owner or its Affiliate) during the Performance Tests. In addition, Contractor shall provide the services necessary at the Job Site for the installation, start-up and performance of the Commissioning of each LNG Production System and the Facility and the running or rerunning of the Performance Tests in accordance with the requirements of the Performance Tests and the provisions hereof. The Contractor’s Representative shall have full authority to represent Contractor and to acknowledge Defects or Deficiencies in the Facility, direct the proper conduct of remedial actions relating to the performance of the Facility and the execution of the Performance Tests.

15.3.3 Contractor shall provide preliminary Notice to Owner and the Independent Engineer not less than ninety (90) Days prior to the date that Contractor expects the relevant Work and/or Owner Furnished Equipment and Materials to be ready for the Performance Tests.

67

Contractor shall provide an additional Notice to Owner and the Independent Engineer not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the date that Contractor will perform the Performance Tests. The Performance Tests for an LNG Production System or the Facility, as applicable, shall be executed as soon as practicable after LNG Production System Mechanical Completion of such LNG Production System or Facility Mechanical Completion, as applicable, and completion of the Demonstration Tests, as applicable, for such LNG Production System or the Facility; provided that, at Owner’s direction, Contractor shall take into account the interim operations of the Facility by Owner and Owner’s contractual commitments to purchasers of LNG to be produced and loaded at the Facility in scheduling Performance Tests. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that LNG Production System Mechanical Completion of an LNG Production System or Facility Mechanical Completion, as applicable, will precede the start of the performance of the Demonstration Tests, as applicable, for such LNG Production System or the Facility and that the Demonstration Tests, as applicable, for an LNG Production System or the Facility will precede the start of the Performance Tests for such LNG Production System or the Facility. It is further agreed that Defects or Deficiencies affecting the safe, proper or reliable operation of an LNG Production System which are discovered prior to achieving LNG Production System Mechanical Completion of an LNG Production System or Facility Mechanical Completion, as applicable, will be remedied before starting the Demonstration Tests, as applicable, for such LNG Production System or the Facility and any such Defects discovered during the performance of the Demonstration Tests, as applicable, for such LNG Production System or the Facility will be remedied prior to the performance of the Performance Tests for such LNG Production System or the Facility. Defects or Deficiencies discovered during any Performance Tests may, in the sole, reasonable judgment of Owner, require remedy and a subsequent Performance Test; provided, that, if the immediately prior Performance Test was successfully passed, then any subsequent Performance Test shall not prevent Contractor’s achievement of LNG Production System Substantial Completion of an LNG Production System or Facility Substantial Completion, as applicable. Notices by Contractor certifying that each of the aforementioned stages have been completed in full compliance with this Agreement must be accepted by Owner in writing.

15.3.4 Contractor shall be responsible to perform all Work necessary, including to correct any Defects and Deficiencies, for (i) “LPS4” (as such term is defined in the Phase 1 Agreement) as described in Exhibit R and (ii) the Facility to successfully pass the Performance Tests described in Exhibit R (including the 72-hour Facility System Reliability Test) (the “Facility Performance Tests”). If: (a) Contractor performs the Facility Performance Tests in accordance with this Agreement and the Facility fails to successfully pass all of the Facility Performance Tests [***] times, or (b) Contractor performs the Facility Performance Tests in accordance with this Agreement and the Facility fails to successfully pass all of the Facility Performance Tests within [***] days after the LPS6 Substantial Completion Date (the earlier to occur of such events, the “Make Good Commencement Date”), then from and after the Make Good Commencement Date Contractor shall be obligated hereunder to perform all Work necessary to successfully pass all of the Facility Performance Tests as soon as reasonably practicable following the Make Good Commencement Date, subject to any Owner Caused Delay impacting its performance after the Make Good Commencement Date, at its sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Owner shall have no obligation to pay any Direct Costs, Contractor’s G&A or Contractor’s Margin incurred by Contractor after the Make Good Commencement Date in connection with such Work (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Work that is necessary solely to facilitate the performance by an Owner Contractor of its

68

warranty or make good obligations to Owner in respect of the Owner Furnished Equipment and Materials from and after the Make Good Commencement Date). Without limiting the foregoing, Contractor acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to perform all Work necessary to successfully pass all of the Facility Performance Tests is an absolute, unconditional, “must meet” obligation and is not subject to any limitation on liability or reduction by the payment of liquidated damages or otherwise. Upon successfully passing the Facility Performance Tests, Contractor shall be entitled to payment of its Direct Costs and Contractor’s G&A and Contractor’s Margin applicable thereto in connection with any Reimbursable Work performed after the Facility Substantial Completion Date.

15.3.5 During the Warranty Period, Owner may, or may require Contractor to, conduct a test of any item of Material, component or system that has required modification, repair or replacement under warranty. Such test shall include, where necessary or appropriate, additional Demonstration Tests or Performance Tests (as described in Exhibit R), in each case, having a scope and duration reasonably necessary to demonstrate the absence of any adverse effect.

15.3.6 If the completed Work, or any section thereof, fails to pass a test required hereunder, Owner may require such failed tests to be repeated under the same terms and conditions.

15.4.1 At any time prior to LNG Production System Substantial Completion of an LNG Production System or Facility Substantial Completion, as applicable, Contractor shall advise Owner in writing of any (a) Defects or Deficiencies in or (b) defects or deficiencies in the Owner Furnished Equipment and Materials forming part of, such LNG Production System or the Facility, as applicable, that were discovered at any time or that occurred during the Performance Tests for such LNG Production System or the Facility. Contractor shall promptly commence and complete corrective measures to remedy such Defects or Deficiencies; provided, however, that, without prejudice to Contractor’s express obligations related to the Owner Furnished Equipment and Materials as set forth in the definition of “Work” such as integration and installation of Owner Furnished Equipment and Materials, Contractor has no obligation to correct defects or deficiencies in the Owner Furnished Equipment and Materials forming part of such LNG Production System or the Facility. All portions of the Work that contain Defects or Deficiencies not so corrected shall be repaired or removed from the Job Site if necessary. If Contractor fails to initiate correction of Work having such Defects or Deficiencies within seven (7) Days after discovery of such Defects or Deficiencies, Owner may correct such Work, and Owner’s costs associated with uncovering, recovering, correcting and removing Work that contains Defects or Deficiencies, as well as modifying, removing, disassembling, uncovering, rebuilding, re-engineering, replacing or covering or otherwise handling all other Work affected by such Defects or Deficiencies, shall be included in the calculation of Total Costs. If Contractor does not, within ten (10) Days of Notice from Owner, remove or repair Work (or initiate removal thereof) which has Defects or Deficiencies, Owner may, in its discretion, remove, repair, store, sell or dispose of such Work, and Owner’s costs associated with such activities shall be included in the calculation of Total Costs. Contractor shall promptly provide Notice to Owner in writing that such corrective measures have been completed and shall specify in such Notice the date on which the LNG Production System or the Facility will be ready for the Performance Tests to be rerun. Contractor’s obligation to correct Defects or Deficiencies includes uncovering, recovering, correcting and removing Work that contains Defects or Deficiencies, as well as modifying, removing, disassembling, uncovering, rebuilding, re-engineering, replacing or covering or otherwise handling all other Work affected by such Defects or Deficiencies or the correction thereof.

69

15.4.2 In preparation for the effort to remedy such Defects or Deficiencies discovered after LNG Production System Substantial Completion of an LNG Production System or Facility Substantial Completion, as applicable, Owner shall provide personnel and Contractor shall supervise and direct such personnel in the disconnection of the Work from all piping and the cleaning, freeing of liquids, solids, explosives and combustibles, toxic and asphyxiant gases and otherwise making safe for performance of the repair work. Contractor shall promptly provide Notice to Owner in writing that such corrective measures have been completed and shall specify in such Notice the date on which the LNG Production System or the Facility will be ready for the Performance Tests to be rerun. If Contractor fails to initiate correction of Work having such Defects or Deficiencies within seven (7) Days after discovery of such Defects or Deficiencies, Owner may correct such Work, and Owner’s costs associated with such activities shall be included in the calculation of Total Costs. If Contractor does not, within ten (10) Days of Notice from Owner, repair or remove Work (or initiate removal thereof) which has Defects or Deficiencies, Owner may, in its discretion, remove, repair, store, sell or dispose of such Work, and Owner’s costs associated with such activities shall be included in the calculation of Total Costs.

Contractor shall cause (a) each LNG Production System Substantial Completion Date to occur no later than the relevant LNG Production System Substantial Completion Deadline, (b) the Facility Substantial Completion Date to occur no later than the Facility Substantial Completion Deadline and (c) the Final Completion Date to occur no later than the Final Completion Deadline. If an Applicable Deadline shall be actually, demonstrably and adversely affected by an excusable event hereunder including Owner Caused Delay or Force Majeure Event, and to the extent such delay could not be avoided or mitigated by Contractor (without Contractor having to incur material Non-Reimbursable Costs), then such Applicable Deadline shall be adjusted pursuant to a Change Order; provided that Contractor shall have provided proper Notice to Owner in accordance with Section 12.1.2 and that the conditions set forth in Section 12.1.3 (if applicable) are satisfied. Contractor will design (to the extent included in the Work) and integrate the Facility, supply all necessary Materials, and schedule its activities (including the scheduling of deliveries as early as practical) taking into account the possible schedule impact of reasonably foreseeable delays and take all reasonably necessary measures to mitigate the effects of any such event enumerated in the preceding sentence and to cause the occurrence of LNG Production System Substantial Completion of each LNG Production System on or before the applicable LNG Production System Substantial Completion Deadline, the occurrence of Facility Substantial Completion on or before the Facility Substantial Completion Deadline and the occurrence of Final Completion on or before the Final Completion Deadline, and to timely perform Corrective Work during the Warranty Period. No delay of an Applicable Deadline shall prejudice any right Owner may have under this Agreement to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms of Article 32. Owner’s requirement of correction of any Defect or Deficiency shall not under any circumstances be construed as interference with the Contractor’s performance of the Work. Contractor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to exhaust every reasonable repair and replacement alternative in order for the Facility to meet the requirements set forth in this Agreement, including Exhibit A.

70

If, after an event that has caused Contractor to suspend or delay performance of the Work, Contractor has failed to take such action as Contractor could lawfully and reasonably initiate to remove or relieve either the cause thereof or its direct or indirect effects without incurring material Non-Reimbursable Costs, Owner may, in its sole discretion and after Notice to Contractor, initiate such reasonable measures as will be designed to remove or relieve such event or its direct or indirect effects and thereafter require Contractor to resume full or partial performance of the Work, and Owner’s costs associated with such activities shall be included in the calculation of Total Costs. No action by Owner pursuant to this Section 16.2 shall relieve or excuse Contractor of any of its obligations under this Agreement or constitute the basis for a Change Order.

16.3.1 In addition to Contractor’s own recovery plans, if Owner reasonably believes that Contractor will not achieve an Applicable Deadline, then Owner may provide a Notice to Contractor requiring Contractor to propose an additional recovery plan and implement it. Contractor shall be required to present a detailed recovery plan for Owner’s review and concurrence within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of the Notice described in the immediately preceding sentence, which such recovery plan shall include at a minimum the methods of expediting the Work, the additional equipment and tools to be provided and the increased manpower, technology, work shifts and supervision anticipated. Owner may suggest additional resources be added to the recovery plan but such suggestions shall in no way be deemed to limit or otherwise reduce the Contractor’s obligations and liabilities hereunder or Owner’s rights hereunder. If Owner directs Contractor to implement a recovery plan, then Contractor shall implement the recovery plan as provided in this Section 16.3.1. Contractor shall not be entitled to an increase in the Target Price in connection with any recovery plan, unless and to the extent that the recovery plan was necessitated by an event for which (a) the Contractor obtains relief through a Change Order and (b) is entitled to an adjustment to the Target Price, as applicable.

16.3.2 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Owner shall have the right to direct that the Work be accelerated by means of reasonable overtime, additional crews or additional shifts, notwithstanding that the progress of the Work was in accordance with the established Project Schedule. Contractor shall promptly provide to Owner for its approval a plan for such acceleration, including its recommendations for the most effective and economical acceleration, together with such information as Owner shall reasonably require to substantiate the basis of the incremental cost. Prior to the Contractor’s commencement of the accelerated Work, Owner and Contractor shall mutually agree upon the plan for acceleration and the Contractor’s acceleration cost estimate, to be set forth in a Change Order. In addition to Owner’s acceleration rights, Contractor is entitled to request an acceleration plan to be approved by Owner. Should Owner approve such plan, Owner and Contractor shall mutually agree upon the plan for acceleration and the Contractor’s acceleration cost estimate, to be set forth in a Change Order.

71

17.1.1 Owner may at any time or from time to time, and for any reason, suspend performance of the Work or any portion thereof by giving a Suspension Notice to Contractor. Such suspension shall continue for the period (the “Suspension Period”) specified by Owner in the Suspension Notice. At any time after the effective date of the suspension, Owner may require Contractor to resume performance of the Work. In the event a Suspension Notice is issued by Owner under this Section 17.1.1, Contractor shall take such action as is necessary to protect, store and secure the Work, or part thereof, against any deterioration, loss or damage, and if Owner notifies Contractor of the anticipated length of such suspension, Contractor shall use reasonable efforts to delay the performance of any Work to be performed by any Subcontractor or Agent For Contractor.

17.1.2 If Owner reasonably believes that Contractor is (i) in violation of applicable Laws or any Permit and such violation has a material impact on the Facility, (ii) performing Work which has Defects or Deficiencies, is failing to correct Work which has Defects or Deficiencies in a timely manner as practicable, is failing to take the proper precautions at any time when dangerous conditions exist or (iii) otherwise in material breach of this Agreement, then Owner may, by Notice to Contractor, order Contractor to suspend performance of the Work affected by any such failure under this Section 17.1.2 by giving a Suspension Notice to Contractor. Such suspension shall continue for the Suspension Period specified in the Suspension Notice, subject to the following sentence. Upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, Contractor shall (A) suspend performance of the Work to the extent set forth in such Suspension Notice and shall not resume such Work unless and until Contractor and Owner, acting reasonably, have agreed on those actions to be taken by Contractor to eliminate or cure the cause of such Suspension Notice, and (B) take such action as is necessary to protect, store and secure the Work, or part thereof, against any deterioration, loss or damage, and if Owner notifies Contractor of the anticipated length of such suspension, Contractor shall use reasonable efforts to delay the performance of any Work to be performed by any Subcontractor or Agent For Contractor. Upon resumption of the Work, Contractor shall take all actions as and when required by such agreement with Owner.

17.1.3 Contractor may, upon prior Notice to Owner, suspend the Work in the event Owner fails to make payment of any reasonably undisputed payment to the Contractor specified in such Notice within thirty (30) days of the date such payment is due, and any such suspension shall entitle Contractor to an adjustment in the Applicable Deadlines and the Target Price, to the extent Contractor incurs Direct Costs as a direct result of such suspension.

17.2.1 In the event of a suspension by Owner pursuant to Section 17.1.1, Owner shall issue a Change Order to (a) compensate Contractor for the additional Direct Costs, Contractor’s G&A and the Contractor’s Margin attributable solely to a suspension of items of Work that are documented by Contractor to the satisfaction of Owner and the Independent Engineer; (b) adjust the Target Price to reflect such additional amounts; and (c) adjust the Project Schedule for any delay in the Contractor’s performance of any Critical Path activities, which, in each case, was actually and demonstrably caused by such suspension.

72

17.2.2 All claims by Contractor for compensation under this Section 17.2 must be made monthly during the Suspension Period and within forty-five (45) Days after the end of the Suspension Period, or Contractor shall be deemed to have waived its rights for compensation with respect thereto. Amounts payable by Owner under this Article 17 shall be paid to Contractor in accordance with Article 6.

Owner shall have the right to inspect Materials or the Work at Contractor’s workshop and at any Subcontractor’s or Agent For Contractor’s workshop, the Job Site, or at such other places as otherwise may be appropriate, and, prior to LNG Production System Substantial Completion of an LNG Production System or Facility Substantial Completion, as applicable and subject to Contractor’s warranty obligations thereafter, to reject items of Materials or any portion of the Work that has Defects or Deficiencies. Owner shall specify in writing to Contractor the portion of the Materials or portion of Work that it proposes to reject and, prior to actual rejection, Contractor shall have a right to remedy any such Defects or Deficiencies to Owner’s satisfaction. Owner shall have the right to utilize any rejected portion of the Materials or the Work until such time as replacement Material is incorporated into the Facility. These rights shall not be deemed to limit Owner’s rights under Section 15.4.

Contractor shall promptly correct all Materials or Work rejected by Owner as having Defects or Deficiencies observed before commencement of the Warranty Period of the applicable LNG Production System or any extension thereof, and whether or not fabricated, installed or completed. All portions of the Material or Work that contain Defects or Deficiencies not so corrected shall be repaired or removed from the Job Site if necessary, by Owner in accordance with Section 17.5. Contractor is responsible for removing Material or any portion of the Work that contain Defects or Deficiencies, as well as modifying, removing, disassembling, uncovering, rebuilding, replacing or covering or otherwise handling all other Material or Work affected by such Defects or Deficiencies or the correction thereof. These obligations shall not be deemed to limit Contractor’s obligations under Section 15.4. No action by Owner pursuant to this Section 17.4 shall relieve or excuse Contractor of any of its obligations under this Agreement or constitute the basis for a Change Order.

If Contractor fails to initiate correction of Materials or Work having Defects or Deficiencies in accordance with Section 17.4 within five (5) Days of Notice from Owner, Owner may correct such Materials or Work without relieving Contractor of any of its warranty obligations hereunder, and Owner’s costs associated with such activities shall be included in the calculation of Total Costs.

73

Owner shall bear the full cost of making good all Materials or any part of the Facility destroyed or damaged by reasonable removal either by Owner as provided in Section 17.5 or by Contractor, but Owner’s costs associated with such activities shall be included in the calculation of Total Costs.

18.1.1 Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 18.1 for an LNG Production System, Contractor shall give Notice to Owner that LNG Production System Mechanical Completion for such LNG Production System has occurred, which shall only be when all of the following items set forth in this Section 18.1 have occurred:

19.4.2 At such time as Owner and the Independent Engineer have confirmed that each of the matters set forth in Section 19.4.1 has been completed, Owner shall issue a Final Completion certificate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 19.4 shall relieve Contractor from performing any obligations remaining under this Agreement after Final Completion, including any of its warranty obligations hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at Owner’s sole discretion, Owner may approve the completion of Punch List Items after Final Completion. If Contractor does not promptly complete any remaining Punch List Item, Owner shall have the right to complete such item and Owner’s costs associated with such activities shall be included in the calculation of Total Costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, however, if the completion of any Punch List Items requires that an LNG Production System or the Facility be shut down or its output curtailed, Owner shall have the option of completing such Punch List Items itself, and Owner’s costs associated with such activities shall be included in the calculation of Total Costs.

20.1.1 As further described herein, Contractor shall repair or replace all Defects and Deficiencies prior to the commencement of the Warranty Period. Upon commencement of the Warranty Period, Contractor shall be required to perform all Corrective Work (defined below).

80

20.1.2 During the Warranty Period, Contractor shall, as soon as practicable, complete any Work that is outstanding at Final Completion and shall be responsible for performing Corrective Work which may appear or occur during the Warranty Period or any extension thereof.

20.1.3 During the Warranty Period and subject to Section 20.1.4, Contractor shall make good the Defects or Deficiencies in the Work promptly and on an expedited basis whether by repair, replacement or otherwise (the “Corrective Work”). In the event Contractor utilizes spare parts owned by Owner in the course of performing the Corrective Work or Work as provided in Section 20.1.4, Contractor shall supply Owner with new spare parts equivalent in quality and quantity to all such spare parts used by Contractor as soon as possible following the utilization of such spare parts.

20.1.4 If Contractor is obligated to repair, replace or renew a Serial Defect, Contractor shall undertake a technical analysis of the problem and correct the “root cause” unless Contractor can demonstrate to Owner’s satisfaction that there is not a risk of the reoccurrence of such problem. Contractor’s obligations under this Article 20 shall not be impaired or otherwise adversely affected by any actual or possible legal obligation or duty of any Subcontractor or Agent For Contractor, in each case, to Contractor or Owner concerning any Defect or Deficiency. No such correction or cure, as the case may be, shall be considered complete until Owner shall have reviewed and approved such remedial work in accordance with this Agreement.

20.1.5 Contractor shall have no obligation hereunder to correct Defects and Deficiencies in the Work relating to site preparation activities in the area described in Exhibit A.

In particular, Contractor warrants to Owner that:

20.2.1 Contractor shall perform the Work in full compliance with the terms and conditions set forth herein;

20.2.2 the Materials and the Work shall be designed, manufactured, engineered, constructed, completed, pre-commissioned, commissioned, tested and delivered in accordance with this Agreement;

20.2.3 the Materials and the Work shall be designed, manufactured, engineered, constructed, completed, tested and delivered, in a workmanlike manner and in accordance with this Agreement, Owner Standards, all Permits and approvals of Government Authorities, Applicable Codes and Standards and all applicable Laws;

20.2.4 the Work, including all Materials and each component thereof (a) shall conform to the specifications and descriptions set forth herein, (b) shall be new, complete, and of suitable grade for the intended function and use in accordance with this Agreement, (c) shall be free from defects (including latent defects) in design, material and workmanship, and (d) shall meet the requirements set forth in Exhibit A and the Agent For Contracts;

20.2.5 the Materials, or any component of Materials, shall be composed and made of only proven technology, of a type in commercial operation at the Effective Date; provided that Owner’s agreement for Contractor to use any Materials not in compliance with this Section 20.2.5 shall not relieve Contractor of any of its obligations under this Agreement;

81

20.2.6 if, prior to the expiration of the Warranty Period, two (2) or more of the same components of the Work experience a Defect of an identical or nearly identical nature that causes or could reasonably be expected to cause an outage or derating of the Facility (herein, a “Serial Defect”), then Contractor shall examine the cause of the Serial Defect and (i) undertake technical analysis of the underlying problem in order to determine (A) the root cause of such Serial Defect and (B) the repairs or replacements that may be required to avoid future occurrences of such Serial Defect, (ii) prepare and provide to Owner a written report setting forth the results of such analysis, (iii) promptly redesign if necessary and repair or replace any Materials, as necessary, and (iv) extend the Warranty Period for that portion of the Work that Contractor redesigned, repaired or replaced for an additional period of [***] months. Such warranty extension for Serial Defects is in lieu of and not in addition to the extension of the Warranty Period contemplated in Section 20.4.2.

20.2.7 Contractor shall, at all times during the Warranty Period, maintain sufficient personnel at Contractor’s offices to respond promptly to Owner’s request for diagnostic or warranty work. At any time during the Warranty Period, Contractor shall promptly and on an expedited basis perform such tests, inspections or other diagnostic services as may be reasonably requested by Owner. In the event that such diagnostic services reveal any Work not conforming to the Contractor’s Warranties, any and all such Work shall be corrected immediately as Corrective Work (the warranties set forth in Sections 20.2.1 to 20.2.7 inclusively are referred to collectively as the “Warranties”). The Warranties shall not include work performed under the Owner Contracts; and

20.2.8 Contractor shall, in the course of correcting any Defects or Deficiencies, do so (a) in good faith coordination with Owner’s schedule of operations so as to minimize any adverse effect on the operations of the Facility and (b) in accordance with the Warranty procedures set forth in this Article 20.

If any Defects, Deficiencies or resulting damage to the Work appear or arise from notifications by manufacturers of Material, Owner shall promptly notify Contractor of such Defects, Deficiency or damage, and Contractor shall perform the necessary repairs or replacements in accordance with its Warranty obligations. Owner shall be entitled to determine the existence of any Defects, Deficiencies or damage.

20.4.1 The provisions of this Article 20 shall apply to all replacements or repairs carried out by Contractor as if the replacements and repairs had been taken over on the date they were completed. All Corrective Work shall be performed subject to the same terms and conditions under this Agreement as the original Work is required to be performed. Any change to parts or Materials that would alter the requirements of this Agreement or any Agent For Contract may be made only with prior written approval of Owner.

82

20.4.2 The Warranty Period for the Work or portion thereof that Contractor has replaced or repaired shall be extended by a period of [***] months from the date the replacement or repair is completed (and for successive periods of [***] months in the event of any Defect or Deficiency associated with any such replacement or repair), but in no event shall the Warranty Period extend beyond [***] months following Facility Substantial Completion.

If Contractor fails to commence any Corrective Work within a reasonable period of time not to exceed five (5) Days after receipt of Owner’s written notice to Contractor identifying and describing with reasonable specificity that portion of Work that has a Defect or Deficiency, or does not complete such Corrective Work on an expedited basis, Owner may, in its sole discretion and in addition to any other remedies that it has under this Agreement, proceed to do the Work and, subject to Section 16.2, notify Contractor of its intention to do so, and Owner’s costs associated with such activities shall be included in the calculation of Total Costs.

If the Defects, Deficiencies or resultant damage is such that it cannot be remedied expeditiously on the Job Site, Contractor may, with the prior written consent of Owner’s Representative or Owner, remove from the Job Site for the purposes of repair or replacement of any part of the Work which is defective, deficient or damaged.

If the repair or replacement of any equipment or components of Work is such that it may affect the operation of the Work or any part thereof, then Owner may require that tests of such equipment or components or any affected part of the Work thereof be conducted by Contractor and repeated to the extent reasonably necessary. Such requirement shall be made by Notice within thirty (30) Days after the Defect or Deficiency is remedied. Such tests shall verify that the equipment or component or any affected part of the Work thereof, as the case may be, is at the same level of performance as existed prior to the need for repair or replacement.

Until the expiration of the Warranty Period, but only to the extent required to perform its obligations hereunder, Contractor shall have the right of reasonable access to all parts of the Work and to records of the working and performance of the Work, except as may be inconsistent with any reasonable security or safety restrictions of the Owner. Such right of access shall be undertaken so as to minimize interference with the operation of the Facility. Access shall be granted to any duly authorized representative of Contractor whose name has been communicated in writing to Owner and who agrees to be bound by Owner Protocols and the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement in connection with such access. The Parties shall schedule corrections, repairs or replacements as necessary so as to minimize disruptions to the operation of the Facility.

83

20.9.1 Contractor shall, for the protection of Contractor and Owner, use reasonable efforts to obtain from the Subcontractors such guarantees and warranties with respect to Work performed that are equal to or exceed those set forth in this Article 20 as applicable to their respective scopes of work and shall be made available and in the name of Owner and assignable to the Lenders to the full extent of the terms thereof. Subject to Section 23.1.4, Contractor shall enforce all Subcontractor and Agent For Contractor warranties in accordance with their terms so as to minimize the amount of Work Contractor may be required to perform to correct any Defect or Deficiency in the Subcontractors’ or Agent For Contractors’ work. Owner shall be an express third-party beneficiary of all such guarantees and warranties. To the extent available, Owner shall have the right to require Contractor to secure additional warranty or extended guarantee protection pursuant to a Change Order. Upon the earlier of the date of Final Completion or termination of this Agreement, Contractor shall deliver to Owner copies of all relevant contracts providing for such guarantees and warranties.

20.9.2 Upon the earlier of Final Completion or termination of this Agreement, Contractor shall assign to Owner all warranties received by it from Subcontractors that are not otherwise issued in Owner’s name. Such assignment of warranties to Owner must also allow Owner to further assign such warranties. However, in the event that Owner makes any warranty claim against Contractor with respect to any portion of the Work supplied in whole or in part by any Subcontractor, and Contractor fulfills its obligations with respect to such claim by Owner, Contractor shall be entitled to enforce for its own benefit any warranty given by such Subcontractor with respect to such portion of the Work.

EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 20 (INCLUDING THE “WARRANTIES”), CONTRACTOR DOES NOT MAKE ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER STATUTORY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND ALL WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE). OWNER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND CONTRACTOR’S ONLY OBLIGATIONS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH DEFECTIVE WORK (PATENT, LATENT OR OTHERWISE), WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, IN TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY), OR OTHERWISE, ARE SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 20. ALL SUCH OTHER WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS AND REPRESENTATIONS ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED. THE FOREGOING IS NOT INTENDED TO DISCLAIM ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS OF CONTRACTOR WHICH ARE UNRELATED TO DEFECTS OR DEFICIENCIES IN THE WORK AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN.

20.11.1 During the Warranty Period, without prior notice to Contractor Owner, by itself or through its Affiliate, shall be permitted to (a) make repairs or replacements on the Materials or the Facility and (b) adjust or test the Materials or the Facility as outlined in the operations and maintenance manuals provided by Contractor or any Subcontractor or Agent For Contractor.

84

20.11.2 In the event of an emergency and if, in the judgment of Owner, the delay that would result from giving prior notice to Contractor could cause serious loss or damage which could be prevented by immediate action, any action (including correction of Defects) may be taken by Owner or a third party chosen by Owner, without giving prior notice to Contractor. In the event such action is taken by Owner, Contractor shall be promptly notified after Corrective Work is implemented, and shall assist whenever and wherever possible in making the necessary corrections. All such warranties obtained shall be in addition to, and shall not alter, the warranties of Contractor. Upon Owner’s request, Contractor shall use all reasonable efforts to force Subcontractors or Agent For Contractors to honor warranties including filing suit to enforce same.

Prior to the end of the Warranty Period, the provisions of this Article 20 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

22.3.3 If at any time Contractor is as a result of the operation of Section 22.3.1 or Section 22.3.2 no longer liable hereunder to pay Schedule Delay Liquidated Damages, then Owner may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Sections 31.1.17 and 31.4 or continue to permit Contractor to progress the Work in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.

22.4.1 Schedule Delay Liquidated Damages shall accrue daily hereunder and shall be payable by Contractor monthly, no later than the fifth (5^th) Business Day of the immediately following month.

22.4.2 All liquidated damage amounts required to be paid by Contractor under this Article 22 shall cease accruing upon a termination of this Agreement.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that actual damages for Contractor’s failure to successfully pass the Performance Tests and achieve the relevant milestones by the Applicable Deadlines are difficult to determine and that the liquidated damages set forth herein are reasonable and appropriate measures of the damages for such failure, are apportioned in a fair and appropriate manner including with respect to any lump-sum liquidated damages that may be payable in respect of any single day of delay, and do not represent a penalty. If Contractor, any Contractor Guarantor or anyone on its behalf successfully challenges the applicable rate of any liquidated damages, Contractor specifically agrees to pay Owner all actual damages incurred by Owner in connection with such breach, including any and all consequential damages (such as loss of profits and revenues, business interruption, loss of opportunity and use) and all costs incurred by Owner in proving the same, without regard to any limitations whatsoever set forth herein.

89

The provisions of this Article 22 shall affect neither Contractor’s obligations to complete any other requirement herein which is unrelated to schedule nor Owner’s right to withhold amounts retained under Section 6.8 hereof.

23.1.1 Attached as Exhibit H and Exhibit O is a list of names of potential Major Subcontractors. Contractor may submit to Owner the names and qualifications and recommendations of additional Major Subcontractors that it desires to include in Exhibit H or Exhibit O. Any additions or changes to Exhibit H or Exhibit O shall be decided solely by Owner within a reasonable time following the submission of all necessary supporting documentation by Contractor. At the request of Owner, the Lenders or Owner’s title insurance providers, Contractor shall provide an affidavit of all Major Subcontractors, in a form acceptable to Owner, the Lenders or Owner’s title insurance providers, as applicable. All Major Subcontractors will be selected from Exhibit H or Exhibit O as supplemented from time to time in accordance with this Section 23.1.1. Contractor shall not enter into Major Subcontracts with any Person not listed in Exhibit H or Exhibit O without the prior written approval of Owner. Contractor shall issue all Subcontracts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Approval by Owner of any Subcontractor or its receipt or review of any Subcontract shall not (a) relieve Contractor of any of its obligations under this Agreement or (b) constitute any acceptance of the Work undertaken by such Person. No Subcontract shall bind or purport to bind Owner.

23.1.2 Contractor shall include in each Major Subcontract a provision requiring each such Major Subcontractor to comply with and perform for the benefit of Owner all requirements and obligations of Contractor to Owner under this Agreement, to the extent such requirements and obligations are applicable to the performance of the work under the respective Major Subcontract. At a minimum, all Subcontracts shall require the Subcontractors to comply with applicable Laws, Applicable Codes and Standards and Permits, shall provide that Owner has the right of inspection as provided hereunder and require such Subcontractors to (a) be subject to the labor obligations hereunder as well as the safety and security provisions of this Agreement, (b) provide guarantees and warranties with respect to its portion of the Work commensurate with such Major Subcontractor’s work, (c) provide certificates of insurance as set forth herein, (d) grant a license to Owner pursuant to Section 29.2.3, (e) include a termination for convenience provision with terms consistent with the terms set forth herein, and (f) be subject to the confidentiality provisions consistent with the terms set forth herein.

Additionally, Contractor shall include in each Major Subcontract relating to any Materials or other component of the Facility a requirement that, until the end of the Warranty Period, the Subcontractor shall (i) notify Contractor and Owner in the event Subcontractor intends to discontinue supplying any functional spare parts and (ii) permit Owner to order any quantity of any such parts at the prices prevailing prior to such discontinuance of supply. All Subcontracts must specify that the contractual relationship with the Subcontractor is exclusive to Contractor and that the Subcontractor waives any and all rights to demand any payment directly from Owner.

90

23.1.3 In addition to the requirements set forth above, Contractor shall include in each Subcontract the following language to make Owner an express third party beneficiary of such Subcontract:

“The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the services/work/equipment to be provided hereunder by [Subcontractor] will be incorporated into the LNG facility and related facilities being developed by [Owner]. As such, the parties expressly agree that Owner is a third party beneficiary of this [Agreement] entitled, in its own name or in the name of [Contractor], to enforce this [Agreement] against [Subcontractor].”

23.1.4 Contractor shall notify Owner of and coordinate with Owner in connection with the administration of any claim (actual or threatened in writing) arising under any Subcontract or Agent For Contract, and shall request Owner’s approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (a) of any external attorney and claims consultant to be appointed by Contractor in connection with such claim and (b) prior to commencing any litigation with respect to such claim. Litigation between Contractor and a Subcontractor or Agent For Contractor shall be jointly managed by Contractor and Owner. Contractor shall not settle any claim arising under a Subcontract or Agent For Contract without Owner’s prior approval.

Contractor is responsible for each of the various parts of the Work, so that all items thereof conform in all respects to the requirements of this Agreement, regardless of any failure of any Subcontractor to perform, any disagreement between any Subcontractors, or any disagreement between any Subcontractors, on the one hand, and Contractor or Owner. Contractor shall furnish such information relative to its Subcontractors, including copies of unpriced (and with respect to the Reimbursable Work, all priced) Subcontracts as Owner may reasonably request. Without the express written consent of Owner, nothing contained herein or in any Subcontract awarded by Contractor shall create any contractual relationship between Owner and any Subcontractor. Contractor shall require that all Subcontractors release and waive (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) any and all rights against Owner and the Lenders for recovery of payment of any moneys for compensation for the portion of the Work performed by them.

23.3.1 Subject to Section 23.3.2, Contractor hereby assigns to Owner (and Owner’s permitted assigns) all its interest in any Subcontracts (or any portion thereof to the extent such Subcontracts also relate to other projects of Contractor) now existing or hereafter entered into by Contractor for performance of any part of the Work, which assignment will be effective upon acceptance by Owner in writing and only as to those Subcontracts which Owner designates in said writing.

91

23.3.2 Owner shall not have the right to exercise any right to assignment of any Subcontract pursuant to Section 23.3.1 unless and until (a) any obligation by any Subcontractor under any Subcontract extends beyond the expiration of this Agreement, including the Warranty Period, (b) Owner has elected to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof or (c) with respect to the Work, Contractor has failed to perform any of its material obligations or correct Defects and Deficiencies under this Agreement to which such Subcontract relates.

23.3.3 Each Subcontract entered into by Contractor with respect to the Work shall contain a provision permitting its assignment to Owner or the Lenders upon Owner’s written request (following the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 23.3.2).

Owner has agreed to enter into the Agent For Contracts for the performance of the Agent For Contracts Work and to make timely payment when due of amounts owing under the Agent For Contracts directly to the Agent For Contractors. Owner and Contractor acknowledge and agree that Contractor shall have responsibility, and shall be expressly authorized in the Agent For Contracts, to manage and administer the Agent For Contracts and the Agent For Contracts Work thereunder as part of and with the rights and responsibilities of the Work. Except for Owner’s responsibility to make timely payment when due of amounts owing under the Agent For Contracts directly to the Agent For Contractors, Contractor shall be responsible for the performance or nonperformance for any reason of any Agent For Contractor for any other purposes hereunder as to the Work, including with respect to Defects and Deficiencies.

24.1 GENERAL MANAGEMENT OF EMPLOYEES.

Contractor shall exercise its management rights in performing the Work, either specifically detailed in, or not expressly limited by, applicable collective bargaining agreement(s). Subject to Section 5.2, such management rights shall be deemed to include the rights to: hire, discharge, promote and transfer employees; to select and remove foremen or other persons at other levels of supervision; to establish and enforce reasonable standards of productivity; to introduce, to the extent feasible, labor-saving equipment and materials; to determine the number of craftsmen necessary to perform a task, job or other work required with respect to the Facility; and to establish, maintain and enforce rules and regulations conducive to efficient and productive operations.

Contractor shall make its own arrangements for the engagement of all staff and labor, local or otherwise, and for their payment, housing, feeding and transport. Contractor shall pay rates of wages, and observe conditions of labor, not materially different than those established for the trade or industry where the work is carried out, and shall comply with all Laws relating to wages, hours, working conditions and other employer/employee-related matters pertaining to its employees. In addition, Contractor shall certify to the reasonable satisfaction of Owner that all social benefit payments related to the wages of all workers employed directly or indirectly by it and its Subcontractors have been timely paid in full.

92

Contractor shall promptly notify Owner of any violations, and the actions to be taken or planned to resolve the violations, of collective bargaining agreements and jurisdictional disputes in connection with the Work including the filing of appropriate processes with any court or administrative agency having jurisdiction to settle, enjoin or award damages resulting from such violations of collective bargaining agreements or jurisdictional disputes.

Contractor shall undertake promptly all reasonable efforts to prevent or resolve any strikes or other labor disputes among its employees or the employees of Subcontractors or Agent For Contractors. If a strike or other labor dispute occurs, Contractor shall take all reasonable actions to minimize any resulting disruption of the progress of the Work. Contractor shall advise Owner promptly, in writing, of any actual, anticipated or threatened labor dispute that might affect the performance of the Work by Contractor or by any Subcontractors or Agent For Contractors and will keep Owner informed on a daily basis of the status of the dispute resolution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the settlement of strikes, walkouts, lockouts or other labor disputes shall be at the sole discretion of the Party having the difficulty. Nothing in this Article 24 shall be deemed to amend the definition of “Force Majeure Event.”

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in all cases where Contractor’s employees (meaning Contractor’s direct, borrowed, special or statutory employees) are covered by the Louisiana Worker’s Compensation Act, La. R.S. 23:1021 et seq., Owner and Contractor agree that Owner shall be and hereby is designated as the statutory employer of Contractor’s direct, borrowed, special and statutory employees, pursuant to La. R.S. 23:1061(A)(3). Owner and Contractor further agree that the Work is an integral part of and essential to Owner’s ability to generate its goods, products and services. This provision is included for the sole purpose of establishing a statutory employer relationship to gain the benefits expressed in La. R.S. 23:1061, and is not intended to create an employer/employee relationship for any other purpose. Nothing contained in this Section 24.5 shall be construed to establish any relationship or status that is inconsistent with Article 37. In the event that Owner is required to pay worker’s compensation benefits to Contractor’s direct, borrowed, special or statutory employees, whether as a statutory employer pursuant to La. R.S. 23:1061 or as a special employer pursuant to La. R.S. 23:1031(C), Owner shall be entitled to reimbursement from Contractor for any such benefit payments. Neither Contractor nor its underwriters shall be entitled to seek contribution from Owner for any worker’s compensation benefits payments made on behalf of any of Contractor’s direct, borrowed, special or statutory employees for purposes of La. R.S. 23:1031(C).

Contractor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to attract and retain local labor personnel for the Work and to utilize local Subcontractors whenever possible and cost effective. Contractor agrees to use good faith efforts to award Subcontracts to Subcontractors based in the State of Louisiana and to hire personnel to perform the Work that live in the State of Louisiana.

93

Contractor shall use reasonable efforts to assist Owner in creating, assessing and carrying out programs which shall, during all phases of the Work, minimize the impacts upon the host community caused by the construction of the Facility. Such programs shall include sequencing of the Work so as to reasonably minimize the impacts of noise and dust at and around the Job Site.

25.1.1 Contractor warrants and guarantees to Owner good and legal title to the Materials and the Work, and shall deliver and convey ownership of the Materials and the Work free and clear of any and all liens, claims, security interest and other encumbrances, when title thereto passes to Owner. Title to all or any portion of the Materials shall pass to Owner upon the earliest of the following:

25.1.2 It is expressly understood and agreed, however, that (a) the passage of title shall not release Contractor from the Contractor’s responsibility to perform fully its obligations hereunder, and (b) in no event shall title to the Owner Furnished Equipment and Materials pass from Owner to Contractor, and Owner shall, at all times, retain title and ownership of the Owner Furnished Equipment and Materials.

Notwithstanding passage of title as provided in Section 25.1, Contractor shall bear risk of loss of or damage to the Work and Materials in respect of which Owner has not assumed care, custody and control hereunder until the Facility Substantial Completion Date, but only to the extent (i) of any insurance proceeds actually received by Contractor from claims made under Owner’s Construction and Erection All Risk Insurance Policy or other Owner insurance policies; or (ii) that such loss or damage results from the Gross Negligence or Willful Misconduct of Senior Supervisory Personnel.

94

For the purpose of protecting Owner’s interest in all Materials and Owner Furnished Equipment and Materials delivered to the Job Site with respect to which title has passed to Owner but which remain in the possession of another party, Contractor shall take or cause to be taken all steps necessary under the Laws of the appropriate jurisdiction(s) to protect Owner’s title and to protect Owner against claims by other parties with respect thereto.

26.1.1 Contractor and Owner shall procure and maintain the insurance enumerated in this Article 26 as being applicable to it. The provisions of this Article 26 do not modify or change or abrogate any responsibility of Owner or Contractor or any Subcontractor or Agent For Contractor stated elsewhere herein. Neither Owner nor Contractor assumes responsibility for the solvency of any insurer or the failure of any insurer to settle any claim. Contractor shall remain responsible for uninsured losses and deductible amounts under the policies to be provided by Contractor and, with respect to losses arising due to Contractor’s or its Subcontractor’s Gross Negligence or Willful Misconduct of Senior Supervisory Personnel, the policies to be provided by Owner until the Facility Substantial Completion Date, and Owner shall become responsible for such losses and deductibles occurring thereafter.

26.1.2 Contractor shall provide the insurance set forth in Section 26.2 with properly licensed insurance carriers and evidence thereof in a form reasonably satisfactory to Owner and the Lenders’ insurance advisors, which insurance carriers shall be (a) rated A- or higher (with a financial size category of at least FSC VII) by A.M. Best’s Key Rating Guide, (b) rated A or higher by Standard and Poor’s or (c) satisfactory to Owner and the Lenders’ insurance advisor, in their sole discretion. Owner shall provide the insurance set forth in Section 26.3 with properly licensed insurance carriers and evidence thereof and that are reinsured with reinsurers that are (i) rated A-or higher (with a financial size category of at least FSC VII) by A.M. Best’s Key Rating Guide or (ii) rated A or higher by Standard and Poor’s. Subject to Section 26.3.1 the Notice to Proceed and any Limited Notice to Proceed shall not be effective until each of Owner and Contractor has provided to each other such satisfactory evidence of insurance. Each Party shall promptly provide written notification to the other Party if it becomes aware of any material change in, non-renewal or cancellation of insurance coverage that such Party is required to maintain hereunder.

26.1.3 All the liability policies (except workers’ compensation, employer’s liability and professional liability) of insurance shall be endorsed to provide a severability of interests or cross liability clause to the benefit of each additional insured.

26.1.4 All Contractor policies of insurance required under this Article 26 shall provide that such insurance shall not be canceled or not renewed without requiring Contractor to give at least thirty (30) Days’ prior Notice to Owner and the Lenders, except with respect to non-payment of premium, in which case such Notice period shall be ten (10) Days. In addition, all Owner policies of insurance required under this Article 26 shall provide that such insurance shall not be canceled or not renewed without requiring Owner to give at least thirty (30) Days’ prior Notice to Contractor and the Lenders, except with respect to non-payment of premium, in which case such Notice period shall be ten (10) Days.

95

26.1.5 If any loss or damage to the Work (on or off the Job Site) is sustained, Contractor shall, at the request of Owner, act on behalf of itself and Owner for the purpose of adjusting the amount of the loss with the insurer. Contractor shall (a) replace or repair any such loss or damage and complete the Work in accordance with this Agreement and (b) take such action as may be reasonable and necessary to mitigate the amount of any such loss. Owner and, at the request of Owner, Contractor shall use commercially reasonable efforts for the benefit of the Parties to pursue all claims for loss or damage to property under the policies required to be provided by Owner pursuant to Section 26.3 that exceed the deductible amounts of such policies. As soon as practicable following a loss event, Contractor, Owner and the assigned loss adjuster shall meet to review the loss or damage and determine the course of action required to remedy the loss or damage. To the extent possible, Contractor and Owner shall determine with the loss adjuster the extent of loss or damage and the level of insurance coverage applicable to such loss or damage. Contractor shall cooperate with and provide the loss adjuster information relevant to the loss or damage, the schedule impact estimates of remediation, and any other reasonable information sought by insurers concerning the loss event. Contractor shall keep Owner reasonably informed of the status of claims negotiations with the insurer for which Contractor is, at the request of Owner, responsible under the Construction and Erection All Risk insurance required to be obtained by Owner pursuant to Section 26.3.1. For the avoidance of doubt, Owner shall remain the sole authority on any decisions related to claims handling, coordination and acceptance of payment on all Owner-procured insurance policies. Advance payments under the applicable insurance policy may be requested of insurers in order to facilitate cash flow and in no event shall Contractor be relieved of its obligation to repair and replace the loss or damage if such advance is not made.

26.1.6 Subject to the requirements and limitations set forth in Sections 26.1.5, (a) Contractor shall include with each Request for Payment any amounts payable by Owner pursuant to this Section 26.1.6 and (b) provided that Contractor comply with all requirements for payment set forth herein, Owner shall pay such amounts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

26.2.1 Except for the Construction and Erection All Risk insurance required to be provided by Owner pursuant to Section 26.3.1(a) and Commercial General Liability insurance required to be provided by Owner pursuant to Section 26.3.1(b), Contractor shall obtain and maintain in full force and effect, and shall require, as applicable, Subcontractors to procure and maintain in full force and effect, the following insurance:

Owner shall, and shall cause other Owner Indemnitees to, agree to reasonably cooperate and assist Contractor in the defense of any Intellectual Property Claims, at Contractor’s cost. Any Owner Indemnitee that seeks to settle any Intellectual Property Claim shall seek the prior approval of Contractor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, in respect of such settlement. Contractor shall not settle any Intellectual Property Claim that includes any non-monetary obligations without the prior approval of Owner, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, in respect of such settlement.

30.1.2 In addition to its indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligations contained elsewhere herein, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, Contractor assumes liability for, and agrees to indemnify, protect, save and hold harmless and defend each of the Owner Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses (including any strict liability, all fines and penalties as well as reasonable attorneys’ fees, consultant fees, experts’ fees and litigation expenses) of whatsoever kind and nature that may be imposed on, suffered or incurred by or asserted against any Owner Indemnitee in any way relating to or directly or indirectly arising out of (a) the presence, Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Substance used, generated or handled by or brought to the Job Site or disposed by or at the direction of Contractor or any Subcontractor or Agent For Contractor (but in all cases, excluding (i) Pre-Existing Hazardous Substances (except to the extent of Contractor’s or its Subcontractors’ or such Agent For Contractor’s noncompliance with Section 3.8.46; or (ii) Gross Negligence or Willful Misconduct of (1) Senior Supervisory Personnel or (2) comparable personnel of a Subcontractor or Agent For Contractor (limited to the extent of any recovery by Contractor from such Subcontractor or Agent For Contractor) in the handling, storage or transportation of any Pre-Existing Hazardous Substance after discovery of such Pre-Existing Hazardous Substance by Contractor or a Subcontractor or Agent For Contractor); or (iii) claims arising out of Owner’s Gross Negligence or Willful Misconduct in the handling, storage or transportation of Hazardous Substances brought to the Site by Contractor), (b) bodily injuries (including wrongful death) or property damage of Third Parties (with respect to bodily injuries, “Third Parties” shall include Owner’s employees), to the extent caused by the negligent acts or omissions of Contractor, any worker or any Subcontractor or anyone for whose acts they may be liable arising in connection with the performance of the Work, (c) fines and penalties arising out of the violation by Contractor or any Subcontractor of: (i) any Permit held in its name or (ii) any applicable Law, (d) any claims brought by Subcontractors against Owner claiming Contractor breach of contract with such Subcontractor including failure to make payments due and payable to such Subcontractor (except to the extent the same constitute Reimbursable Costs), (e) the

30.1.3 To the fullest extent permitted by Law, Contractor assumes liability for, and agrees to indemnify, protect, save and hold harmless and defend each of the Owner Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses (including any strict liability, as well as reasonable attorneys’ fees, consultant fees, experts’ fees and litigation expenses) of whatsoever kind and nature that may be imposed on, suffered or incurred by or asserted against any Owner Indemnitee to the extent arising from the negligence of Contractor or any Subcontractor or any other Person directly or indirectly employed by any of them hereunder for damage to or loss of the physical property of Owner or its Affiliates for which Owner or its Affiliate has assumed care, custody and control (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Work for which Contractor has the risk of loss under Section 25.2 at the time the damage occurred); provided, however, Contractor’s and Subcontractor’s total liability hereunder for each occurrence of such damage or loss to such property is capped at [***].

30.1.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no provision, clause, covenant, or agreement contained in, or collateral to this Agreement, will be understood to require Owner or Contractor to indemnify, defend, hold harmless, or have the effect of indemnifying, defending, or holding harmless, any indemnitee from or against any liability for loss or damage to the extent resulting from the Gross Negligence or Willful Misconduct of the indemnitee, an agent or employee of the indemnitee, or a third party over which the indemnitor has no control.

Subject to Contractor’s indemnity obligations under Section 30.1, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, Owner assumes liability for, and agrees to indemnify, protect, defend, save and hold each of the Contractor Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all Losses (including any strict liability, as well as reasonable attorneys’ fees, consultant fees, experts’ fees and litigation expenses) of whatsoever kind and nature that may be imposed on, suffered or incurred by or asserted against any Contractor Indemnitee: (i) arising out of or due to a claim or action made by any third party (which third party shall not include any Contractor Indemnitee) to the extent caused by or arising directly from the negligence, Gross Negligence or Willful Misconduct of Owner, its Affiliates or Owner Contractors or their officers or employees while engaged in the performance of any activities in connection with this Agreement and (ii) for any claims arising out of Pre-Existing Hazardous Substances on the Job Site (except to the extent Contractor is otherwise liable as set forth in Section 30.1.2(a)(i)).

In any and all claims against any indemnified person by any employee of Contractor or any Subcontractor or by anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, the indemnification obligation stated above shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for Contractor or any Subcontractor under the applicable workers’ compensation benefit acts, disability statute or other employee benefit acts.

30.4.1 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article 30, within fifteen (15) days of receipt by an indemnified party under this Article 30 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under Section 30.1 or Section 30.1.4 above, provide Notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have no liability under this Article 30 for any claim or action for which the indemnified party has admitted any liability or which such Notice is not provided to the extent that such failure to give Notice actually and materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend against such claim. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it provides Notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall assume on behalf of such indemnified party, and conduct with due diligence and in good faith, the defense of any such action against such person, whether or not the indemnifying party is joined therein; provided, however, that, without relieving the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, the indemnified party may elect to participate, at its expense, in the defense of any such suit. The indemnifying party shall have the right to assume the defense of any such claim or action with counsel designated by the indemnifying party and reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both indemnifying party and the indemnified party, and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party, the cost of which shall be subject to indemnification under this Article 30.
