Any work covered prior to any quality surveillance or test by CONTRACTOR or OWNER shall be uncovered and replaced at the expense of SUBCONTRACTOR if such covering interferes with or obstructs such inspection or test. Failure of CONTRACTOR or OWNER to make such quality surveillance or to discover defective design, equipment, materials or workmanship shall not relieve SUBCONTRACTOR of its obligations under this Subcontract nor prejudice the rights of CONTRACTOR or OWNER thereafter to reject or require the correction of defective work in accordance with the provisions of this Subcontract.

Delays attributable to and within the control of SUBCONTRACTOR OR SUBCONTRACTOR’s suppliers or Subsubcontractors of any tier shall be deemed delays within the control of SUBCONTRACTOR. Within seven (7) Days after the termination of any Force Majeure event, SUBCONTRACTOR shall file a written notice with CONTRACTOR specifying the actual duration of the delay. Failure to give any of the above notices shall be sufficient ground for denial of an extension of time. CONTRACTOR will determine the duration of the delay and will extend the time of performance of this Subcontract by modifying the Special Condition titled COMMENCEMENT, PROGRESS AND COMPLETION OF THE WORK accordingly.

Page 16 of 44

31.2 SUBCONTRACTOR shall demonstrate to CONTRACTOR its entitlement to such relief under this Article by providing to CONTRACTOR an updated CPM Schedule using Primavera Project Planner (P3) in its native electronic format with actual durations entered for all activities on the critical path and re-forecasted clearly to indicate SUBCONTRACTOR’s entitlement to a time extension under this GC-31.

(2) the Work (including the Equipment) shall be in accordance with all of the requirements of this Subcontract, including in accordance with GECP, Applicable Law and Applicable Codes and Standards; and

(3) the Work (including the Equipment) shall be free from encumbrances to title

37.2 Should the Plant or any part thereof cease operating due solely to corrective actions for warranty Defects, the Defect Correction Period shall be extended by a time equal to the duration of such stoppage.

37.3 SUBCONTRACTOR warrants that the written instructions regarding the use of equipment, including those instructions in operation and maintenance manuals, shall conform to this Subcontract and GECP as of the time such instructions are prepared. If any non-conformance with the Warranty occurs or is discovered at any time prior to or during the Defect Correction Period, SUBCONTRACTOR shall, at its sole expense, furnish CONTRACTOR with corrected instructions.

37.4 SUBCONTRACTOR shall, without additional cost to CONTRACTOR, obtain warranties from Subsubcontractors that meet or exceed the requirements of this Subcontract; provided, however, SUBCONTRACTOR shall not in any way be relieved of its responsibilities and liability to CONTRACTOR under this Subcontract, regardless of whether such Subsubcontractor warranties meet the requirements of this Subcontract, as SUBCONTRACTOR shall be fully responsible and liable to CONTRACTOR for its warranty and correction of Defective Work obligations and liability under this Agreement for all Work. All such warranties shall run to the benefit of SUBCONTRACTOR but shall permit SUBCONTRACTOR, prior to assignment to CONTRACTOR, the right (upon mutual agreement of the Parties), to authorize CONTRACTOR to deal with Subsubcontractor on SUBCONTRACTOR’s behalf. Such warranties, with duly executed instruments assigning the warranties shall be delivered to CONTRACTOR concurrent with the end of the Defect Correction Period. This shall not in any way be construed to limit SUBCONTRACTOR’s liability under this Subcontract for the entire Work or its obligation to enforce Subsubcontractor warranties.

37.5 The Warranty does not provide a remedy, and SUBCONTRACTOR shall have no liability to CONTRACTOR, for any damage or defect to the extent caused by: (i) improper repairs or alterations, misuse, neglect or accident by CONTRACTOR; (ii) operation, maintenance or use of the Facility, Work or any component thereof in a manner not in compliance with a material requirement of operation and maintenance manuals delivered by SUBCONTRACTOR to CONTRACTOR; (iii) normal wear and tear; (iv) normal corrosion or (v) an event of Force Majeure, to the extent such event of Force Majeure occurs after Provisional Acceptance.

37.6 Prior to RFCD, all Work shall be subject to inspection by CONTRACTOR at all reasonable times to determine whether the Work conforms to the requirements of this Subcontract. Upon CONTRACTOR giving reasonable prior notice, SUBCONTRACTOR shall furnish CONTRACTOR with access to all locations where Work is in progress on the Site and at the offices of SUBCONTRACTOR and its Subsubcontractors. CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to provide SUBCONTRACTOR with written notice of any Work that CONTRACTOR believes does not conform to the requirements of this Subcontract. If any Work is Defective, then SUBCONTRACTOR shall, at its own expense correct such Defective Work. The cost of disassembling, dismantling or making safe finished Work for the purpose of inspection, and reassembling such portions (and any delay associated therewith) shall be borne by (i) SUBCONTRACTOR, if such Work is found not to conform with the requirements of this Subcontract and (ii) by CONTRACTOR, if such Work is found to conform with the requirements of this Subcontract.

37.7 CONTRACTOR shall provide SUBCONTRACTOR with a list of witness points for all equipment no later than sixty (60) Days after execution of the relevant Subcontract and CONTRACTOR shall notify SUBCONTRACTOR which of the witness points it wishes its personnel to witness. SUBCONTRACTOR shall provide CONTRACTOR with at least fifteen (15) Days prior written notice of the actual scheduled date of each of the tests CONTRACTOR has indicated it wishes to witness. SUBCONTRACTOR shall cooperate with CONTRACTOR if CONTRACTOR elects to witness any additional tests, and SUBCONTRACTOR acknowledges that CONTRACTOR shall have the right to witness all tests being performed in connection with the Work.

37.8 CONTRACTOR’s right to conduct inspections shall not obligate CONTRACTOR to do so. Neither the exercise of CONTRACTOR of any such right, nor any failure on the part of CONTRACTOR to discover or reject Defective Work shall be construed to imply an acceptance of such Defective Work or a waiver of such Defect. In addition, CONTRACTOR’s acceptance of any Work which is later determined to be Defective shall not in any way relieve SUBCONTRACTOR from its obligations to correct the Work

37.9 If, during the Defect Correction Period, any Work or component thereof is found to be Defective, and CONTRACTOR provides written notice to SUBCONTRACTOR within the Defect Correction Period regarding such Defect, SUBCONTRACTOR shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly correct (whether by repair, replacement or otherwise) such Defective Work (the correction of the Defective Work is hereby defined as the “Corrective Work”). Any such notice from CONTRACTOR shall state with reasonable specificity the date of occurrence or observation of the alleged defect and the reasons supporting CONTRACTOR’s belief that SUBCONTRACTOR is responsible for performing Corrective Work. CONTRACTOR shall provide SUBCONTRACTOR with access to the Work sufficient to perform its Corrective Work, so long as such access does not unreasonably interfere with operation of the Facility and subject to any reasonable security or safety requirements of CONTRACTOR and SUBCONTRACTOR. In the event SUBCONTRACTOR utilizes spare parts owned by CONTRACTOR in the course of performing the Corrective Work, SUBCONTRACTOR shall supply CONTRACTOR free of charge with new spare parts equivalent in quality and quantity to all such spare parts used by SUBCONTRACTOR as soon as possible following the utilization of such spare parts.

37.10 If SUBCONTRACTOR fails to commence the Corrective Work within a reasonable period of time not to exceed ten (10) Business Days, or does not complete such Corrective Work promptly (and provided that CONTRACTOR provides SUBCONTRACTOR access to the Facility, then CONTRACTOR, upon providing prior written notice to SUBCONTRACTOR, may perform such Corrective Work, and SUBCONTRACTOR shall be liable to CONTRACTOR for the reasonable costs incurred by CONTRACTOR in connection with performing such Corrective Work, and shall pay CONTRACTOR, within ten (10) Days after receipt of written notice from CONTRACTOR, an amount equal to such costs (or, at CONTRACTOR’s sole discretion, CONTRACTOR may withhold or offset amounts owed to SUBCONTRACTOR or collect on the Letter of Credit, if applicable, such costs and expenses); provided, however, if Defective Work discovered during the Defect Correction Period presents an imminent threat to the safety or health of any person and CONTRACTOR knows of such Defective Work, CONTRACTOR may perform such Corrective Work in order to correct such Defective Work without giving prior written notice to SUBCONTRACTOR. In such event, SUBCONTRACTOR shall be liable to CONTRACTOR for the reasonable costs incurred by CONTRACTOR in connection with performing such Corrective Work, and shall pay CONTRACTOR, after receipt of written notice from CONTRACTOR, an amount equal to such costs (or, at CONTRACTOR’s sole discretion, CONTRACTOR may withhold or offset amounts owed to SUBCONTRACTOR or collect on the Letter of Credit, if applicable, such costs). To the extent any Corrective Work is performed by or on behalf of

Page 23 of 44

CONTRACTOR, SUBCONTRACTOR’s obligations with respect to such Defective Work that is corrected by on or behalf of CONTRACTOR shall be relieved, with the exception of SUBCONTRACTOR’s obligation to pay CONTRACTOR the reasonable costs incurred by CONTRACTOR in connection with performing such Corrective Work.

37.11 With respect to any Corrective Work performed by SUBCONTRACTOR, the Defect Correction Period for such Corrective Work shall be extended for an additional one (1) year from the date of the completion of such Corrective Work; provided, however, in no event shall the Defect Correction Period for any Work (including Corrective Work) extend beyond thirty-six (36) months after SUBCONTRACTOR’s achievement of RFCD of the last tank.

Page 24 of 44

Page 27 of 44

Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense, assume on behalf of the Indemnified Party and conduct with due diligence and in good faith the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party shall have the right to be represented therein by advisory counsel of its own selection, and at its own expense; and provided further that if the defendants in any such action or proceeding include the Indemnifying Party and an 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, or inconsistent with, those available to the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to select up to one separate counsel to participate in the defense of such action or proceeding on its own behalf at the reasonable expense of the Indemnifying Party.

39.7 CONTRACTOR and SUBCONTRACTOR agree that the Louisiana Oilfield Anti-indemnity Act, LA. Rev. Stat. §9:2780, et. Seq., is inapplicable to this agreement and the performance of the work. Application of these code sections to this agreement would be contrary to the intent of the parties, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any contention that these codes sections are applicable to this agreement or the work. In addition, it is the intent of the parties in the event that the aforementioned act were to apply that each party shall provide insurance to cover the losses contemplated by such code sections and assumed by each such party under the indemnification provisions of this agreement, and subcontractor agrees that the Subcontract price (as may be adjusted by change order in accordance with the General Condition titled CHANGES, compensates SUBCONTRACTOR for the cost of premiums for the insurance provided by it under this agreement.

Page 28 of 44

secrets. If use of any part of such concept, product, design, equipment, material, process, copyrighted material or confidential information is limited or prohibited, SUBCONTRACTOR shall, at its sole expense, procure the necessary licenses to use the infringing or a modified but non-infringing concept, product, design, equipment, material, process, copyrighted material or confidential information or, with CONTRACTOR’s prior written approval, replace it with substantially equal but non-infringing concepts, products, designs, equipment, materials, processes, copyrighted material or confidential information; provided, however,

GC-42 ASSIGNMENTS AND SUBCONTRACTS

42.1 Any SUBCONTRACTOR assignment of this Subcontract or rights hereunder, in whole or part, without the prior written consent of CONTRACTOR shall be void, except that upon ten (10) Days written notice to CONTRACTOR, SUBCONTRACTOR may assign monies due or to become due under this Subcontract, provided that any assignment of monies shall be subject to proper set-offs in favor of CONTRACTOR and any deductions provided for in this Subcontract.

42.7 In addition to the requirements above and without in any way relieving SUBCONTRACTOR of its full responsibility to CONTRACTOR for the acts and omissions of Subsubcontractors, each Major Subsubcontract shall contain the following provisions:

“This Subsubcontract and any subcontract between Subsubcontractor and any of its lower-tier subcontractors may be assigned to OWNER without the consent of Subsubcontractor or any of its lower-tier subcontractors provided, however, with respect to each Construction Equipment rental or lease agreement, Subsubcontractor shall only be obligated to use its best efforts to include a

Page 31 of 44

provision that such agreement may be assigned to OWNER without the consent of the respective Construction Equipment Lessor; and so far as reasonably practicable, the Subsubcontractor shall comply with all requirements and obligations of SUBCONTRACTOR and CONTRACTOR to OWNER under their Agreement, as such requirements and obligations are applicable to the performance of the Work under the respective Subsubcontract.”

When duly assigned in accordance with the foregoing, this Subcontract shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the assignee; provided that any assignment by SUBCONTRACTOR, CONTRACTOR OR OWNER shall not relieve SUBCONTRACTOR, CONTRACTOR or OWNER (as applicable) of any of its obligations or liabilities under this Subcontract. Any assignment not in accordance with this Article shall be void and without force or effect, and any attempt to assign this Subcontract in violation of this provision shall grant the non-assigning Party the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Subcontract at its option for Default.

Page 37 of 38

of such item of Equipment is included in the Subcontract Price or in any lump sum Change Order, that portion of the audit devoted to reviewing the actual cost incurred by SUBCONTRACTOR or its Subsubcontractors for such item of material and/or equipment shall be performed by OWNER’s tax consultant, which shall be retained by OWNER at OWNER’s sole expense. The Parties agree that (unless the amount of Louisiana Sales and Use Tax properly payable for an item of material and equipment is subject to litigation) such tax consultant shall not disclose to OWNER or CONTRACTOR the actual cost incurred by SUBCONTRACTOR or its Subsubcontractors for any item of material and equipment included in the Subcontract Price, but the Parties agree that such tax consultant may report to Owner the proper Louisiana Sales and Use Taxes properly payable under Applicable Law. No access to Books and Records shall be granted to OWNER’s third party auditors until such auditors have signed a confidentiality agreement with SUBCONTRACTOR or any applicable Subsubcontractor with terms customary in the audit industry for audits of this kind.
