5.8.	BONUS ENTITLEMENTS FOR EARLY COMPLETION

Subject to Article 7.2.18, CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to be paid the relevant bonus sums upon having achieved the following milestones:


(a)		a lump sum bonus of one million USD ($1,000,000 USD) for having achieved the BONUS MILESTONE 1 DATE;


(b)		a lump sum bonus of one million USD ($1,000,000 USD) for having achieved the BONUS MILESTONE 2 DATE;


(c)		a lump sum bonus of three million USD ($3,000,000 USD) for having achieved the BONUS MILESTONE 3 DATE, or an amount equal to three million USD ($3,000,000 USD) reduced by ten percent (10%) for each calendar day of delay in achieving the BONUS MILESTONE 3 DATE. For the avoidance of doubt, if and when the delay in achieving the BONUS MILESTONE 3 DATE reaches ten (10) days or more, the amount of the lump sum bonus entitlement shall be zero.

PROVIDED however that any and all lump sum bonus entitlements due to CONTRACTOR under (a) and/or (b) above shall, if and when the BONUS MILESTONE 3 DATE is not achieved, be adjusted as follows:


(i)		the lump sum bonus entitlements under (a) and/or (b) shall be adjusted to an amount equal to one half of the lump sum entitlements under (a) and/or (b) reduced by ten percent (10%) for each calendar day of delay in achieving the BONUS MILESTONE 3 DATE. For the avoidance of doubt, if and when the delay in achieving the BONUS MILESTONE 3 DATE reaches ten (10) days or more, the lump sum entitlements under (a) and/or (b) shall be reduced to zero.

As an illustration, where both BONUS MILESTONE 1 DATE and BONUS MILESTONE 2 DATE have been achieved, and there is a delay of three (3) calendar days in achieving the BONUS MILESTONE 3 DATE, the lump sum bonus entitlement under (c) above shall equal $3,000,000 USD x 70% = $2,100,000 USD; and the lump sum bonus entitlements under (a) and (b) above shall be adjusted to 0.5 x ($1,000,000 USD + $1,000,000 USD) x 70%= $700,000 USD.

5.9	CONTRACTOR shall give to COMPANY sixty (60) days prior notice of the estimated achievement of the BONUS MILESTONE DATES, DTU COMPLETION DATE and the FINAL COMPLETION DATE as stipulated in 5.1 above for COMPANY’S planning purposes.

5.10	LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR LATE ACHIEVEMENT OF BONUS MILESTONE 3 DATE

If the WORK is not completed by the BONUS MILESTONE 3 DATE as defined in Article 5.1 above, except as may be amended by Article 5.12 below, CONTRACTOR shall, by way of agreed liquidated damages pay to COMPANY fifty thousand USD ($50,000 USD) for each calendar day of delay after the first twenty (20) days beyond the BONUS MILESTONE 3 DATE up to a maximum total liquidated damages amount of five million USD ($5,000,000 USD). Such liquidated damages shall be COMPANY’s sole and exclusive remedy for delay by CONTRACTOR in achieving the BONUS MILESTONE 3 DATE.

5.11	CONTRACTOR acknowledges and agrees that actual delays and the cumulative effect of actual delay in activities which, according to the Project Schedule, do not affect any completion dates shown by the critical path in the network, do not have any effect on the

BONUS MILESTONE DATES, DTU COMPLETION DATE and the FINAL COMPLETION DATE and therefore will not be the basis for an extension of time, subject to CONTRACTOR’s entitlement to additional cost under Article 8.

5.12	The BONUS MILESTONE DATES, DTU COMPLETION DATE and the FINAL COMPLETION DATE shall be extended in respect of delay to said dates which CONTRACTOR can establish was caused by the following only:

The number of calendar days delay which are the aggregate of agreed extensions to the BONUS MILESTONE DATES, DTU COMPLETION DATE and the FINAL COMPLETION DATE specifically resulting from changes to the WORK pursuant to the terms of Article 8 of this CONTRACT.

The number of calendar days lost to CONTRACTOR on or after the effective date hereof and prior to the actual BONUS MILESTONE DATES, DTU COMPLETION DATE and the FINAL COMPLETION DATE specifically caused by (a) Force Majeure delays defined in Article 27; (b) COMPANY’s suspension under Article 23.3; or (c) any delay in performance hereunder by or breach of any obligations hereunder of COMPANY GROUP or any other act of prevention of performance hereunder by COMPANY GROUP.

5.13	No period of delay or extension to the BONUS MILESTONE DATES, DTU COMPLETION DATE and the FINAL COMPLETION DATE for any reason shall be valid or taken into account if:

The delay was in any way caused by default, error, neglect, act or omission of the CONTRACTOR or does not specifically impact the critical path events.

CONTRACTOR has not since the occurrence of the delay taken all reasonable steps open to them to mitigate the effect of the delay upon the BONUS MILESTONE DATES, DTU COMPLETION DATE and the FINAL COMPLETION DATE.

The delay was in any way caused by errors, incompleteness, or omissions in the design provided by CONTRACTOR prior to or after execution of this CONTRACT.

5.14

CONTRACTOR’S sole and exclusive remedy in event of any delay in completing the WORK as stipulated hereunder is to receive an extension to the BONUS MILESTONE DATES, DTU COMPLETION DATE and the FINAL COMPLETION DATE as specifically allowed herein and any other rights under Article 8 with no other obligation, cost or payment due from COMPANY.

(a)

changes to the WORK due to COMPANY requested changes pursuant to the terms of Article 8, and/or

(b)

5A.2	The provisions of Article 5A.1 shall not apply where, and to the extent that, the cause of the progress of the WORK or any part thereof having been delayed, affected or suspended is:

(a)

default, error, neglect, act or omission of CONTRACTOR GROUP;

(b)

failure by CONTRACTOR GROUP to take all reasonable steps to mitigate the effect of the events specified in Article 5A.1(a) and/or Article 5A.1(b); or

(c)

errors, incompleteness or omissions in the design provided by CONTRACTOR GROUP prior to or after execution of this CONTRACT.

COMPANY shall agree to necessary changes in the SCOPE OF WORK and the WORK which may become necessary as a result of any such mandatory changes to those rules, requirements and regulations or laws (including tax laws).

For the avoidance of doubt, if after the date of submission of CONTRACTOR’s BID PROPOSAL there shall be enacted or promulgated in Malaysia any new tax statute, changes in existing tax laws, codes, treaties or regulations or interpretations thereof, which impact

CONTRACTOR and affects the CONTRACT PRICE, CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to a CHANGE ORDER under the provisions of Article 8 hereof.

8.4

COMPANY shall have the absolute unfettered right to make changes in the FACILITY and/or SCOPE OF WORK as COMPANY shall see fit and submit same to CONTRACTOR in writing together with such particulars sufficient to describe the changes to CONTRACTOR.

Such demonstration shall include an up-to-date critical path schedule and construction schedule showing where the delay occurred and why it has the effect on the CONTRACT PRICE, the BONUS MILESTONE DATES, DTU COMPLETION DATE and/or the FINAL COMPLETION DATE claimed by CONTRACTOR. In no event will an impact on delivery due to a change be used to offset an existing delay for which CONTRACTOR is responsible.

In the event that notwithstanding such demonstration, the parties are still unable to agree upon the impact on the CONTRACT PRICE, the BONUS MILESTONE DATES, DTU COMPLETION DATE and/or the FINAL COMPLETION DATE the matter will forthwith be referred to an independent third party expert experienced in such construction, to be mutually agreed by the parties, who shall be required to determine the impact of the change on the CONTRACT PRICE, the BONUS MILESTONE DATES, DTU COMPLETION DATE and/or the FINAL COMPLETION DATE by expert opinion which shall be final and binding on the parties.
