Article 2

RELATIONSHIP OF OWNER, CONTRACTOR AND SUBCONTRACTORS

2.1 Status of Contractor. The relationship of Contractor to Owner shall be that of an independent contractor. Any provisions of the Contract Documents which may appear to give Owner or the Owner Representative the right to direct or control Contractor as to details of performing the Work, or to exercise any measure of control over the Work, shall be deemed to mean that Contractor shall follow the desires of Owner or the Owner Representative in the results of the Work only and not in the means by which the Work is to be accomplished, and Contractor shall have the complete right, obligation and authoritative control over the Work as to the manner, means or details as to how to perform the Work. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to create a master-servant or principal-agent relationship between Contractor, or any of its Subcontractors, and Owner. Nevertheless, Contractor shall comply with all provisions, terms and conditions of the Contract Documents, and the fact that Contractor is an independent contractor does not relieve it from its responsibility to fully, completely, timely and safely perform the Work in compliance with the Contract Documents.

2.2 Key Personnel, Organization Chart and Contractor Representative.

A. Contractor Personnel. Contractor represents that it has adequate and fully qualified personnel and facilities within its organization to perform the Work required by the Contract Documents.

B. Key Personnel and Organization Chart. Attachment F sets forth Contractor’s organizational chart to be implemented for the Work and also contains a list of key personnel (“Key Personnel” or “Key Persons”) from Contractor’s organization who will be assigned to the Work. Key Personnel shall, unless otherwise expressly stated in Attachment F, be devoted full-time to the Work until completion of the Work, and Key Personnel shall not be removed or reassigned without Owner’s prior written 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 equal or greater qualifications and experience. Should Owner approve of the replacement of a Key Person, Contractor shall, so far as reasonably practicable, allow for an overlap of at least one (1) week during which both the Key Person to be replaced and the Owner-approved new Key Person shall work together full time. The

- 9 -

additional cost of any replacement of such Key Personnel and overlap time shall be entirely at Contractor’s expense. Owner shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time to require that Contractor replace any Key Person with another employee acceptable to Owner.

C. Contractor Representative. The Contractor Representative is a Key Person.

2.3 Subcontractors. Owner acknowledges and agrees that Contractor intends to have portions of the Work accomplished by Subcontractors pursuant to written Subcontracts. All Subcontractors shall be reputable, qualified firms with an established record of successful performance in their respective professions performing identical or substantially similar work. All Subcontracts shall be consistent with the terms or provisions of the Contract Documents to the extent such terms and provisions are applicable to the Scope of Work of any applicable Work Order. In the event Contractor is unable to obtain consistent provisions in any Subcontract, or Owner’s written approval to deviate from the provisions of the Contract Documents within such Subcontract, Contractor will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a substitute Subcontractor; provided, however, should Contractor, notwithstanding its use of commercially reasonable efforts, be unable to procure a substitute Subcontractor, Contractor shall not be deemed to be in default or breach of this Agreement. No Subcontractor is intended to be or shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement or any Work Order. Contractor shall be fully responsible to Owner for the acts and omissions of Subcontractors and of Persons directly or indirectly employed by any of them in the performance of the Work, as it is for the acts or omissions of Persons directly employed by Contractor. The work of any Subcontractor shall be subject to inspection by Owner to the same extent as the Work of Contractor. All Subcontractors and their respective personnel are to be instructed by Contractor in the terms and requirements of the Owner-approved safety and environmental protection regulations and policies and shall be expected to comply with such regulations. In the event that any personnel are not adhering to such regulations and policies, such personnel shall be removed by Contractor. In no event shall Contractor be entitled to any adjustment of any Work Schedule under any Work Order as a result of such personnel’s non-compliance with such regulations and policies set forth in the HSE Plan, or any removal of personnel necessitated by non-compliance. Nothing contained herein shall (i) create any contractual relationship between any Subcontractor and Owner, or (ii) obligate Owner to pay or cause the payment of any amounts to Subcontractor.

2.4 Subcontracts.

A. Approved List. Subject to Section 2.4C, Attachment G sets forth a list of contractors and suppliers that Contractor and Owner have agreed are approved for selection as Subcontractors for the performance of that portion of the Work specified in Attachment G. Following the Agreement Effective Date, Contractor and Owner may specify in a Work Order additional contractors and suppliers for selection as Subcontractors for performance of Work set forth in such Work Order. Approval by Owner of any Subcontractors does not relieve Contractor of any responsibilities under the Contract Documents.

- 10 -

B. Additional Proposed Subcontractors. In the event that Contractor is considering the selection of a Subcontractor not listed on Attachment G or in a Work Order, Contractor shall notify Owner of its proposed Subcontractor as soon as possible during the selection process and furnish to Owner all information requested by Owner with respect to Contractor’s selection criteria (including copies of bid packages furnished to prospective Subcontractors, responses to such bid packages, and the qualifications of the proposed Subcontractors). Contractor shall use best efforts to hire qualified, local Subcontractors. Owner shall have the discretion to reject any proposed Subcontractor not listed on Attachment G or in a Work Order for a Subcontract within ten (10) Days of Owner’s receipt of Contractor’s notice and proper documentation given pursuant to this Section 2.4. If Owner does not accept or reject a Subcontractor that is otherwise properly proposed by Contractor pursuant to this Section 2.4, then such Subcontractor shall be deemed approved by Owner, but such approval does not relieve Contractor of any responsibilities under the Contract Documents. Contractor shall not enter into any Subcontract with a proposed Subcontractor that is rejected by Owner in accordance with this Section 2.4. Even if Owner approves of a Subcontractor, Owner nevertheless has the right of approval with respect to the terms and conditions of any Subcontract.

C. Subcontracts. Owner shall have the right to approve any Subcontract exceeding Fifty Thousand U.S. Dollars (U.S.$50,000) prior to execution of such Subcontract by Contractor, but approval by Owner of any Subcontract shall not relieve Contractor of any of its obligations under this Agreement. The price in any Subcontract may be for a separated fixed price, on a cost-reimbursable basis or some other basis, in each case to be approved by Owner. Contractor shall furnish Owner with a copy of all Subcontracts ten (10) or more Days prior to the execution of each such Subcontract. Without limitation of the requirements in this Section 2.4, each Subcontract shall contain the following provisions:

1. the Subcontract may, upon termination of this Agreement or all or any part of the Work, and Owner’s written notice to such Subcontractor, be assigned to Owner without the consent of Subcontractor; and

2. unless otherwise agreed by Owner in writing, Subcontractor shall comply with and perform for the benefit of Owner all requirements and obligations of Contractor to Owner under the Contract Documents, as such requirements and obligations are applicable to the performance of the work under the Subcontract.

3. Subcontractor’s billings and change orders, if any, will separate charges/pricing for “skills and labor” from charges/pricing for taxable Equipment and taxable services re-sold to Owner.

CONTRACTOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES

A. Generally. The initial Work to be performed by Contractor under this Agreement is specified in Work Order No. 1, which is attached hereto as Attachment M. Any further Work to be performed by Contractor shall be mutually agreed upon between Owner and Contractor in subsequent Work Orders in the form of Attachment N. All Work Orders shall be dated and numbered and shall include a Scope of Work and Work Schedule for such Work Order. The rights of Owner and Contractor under each Work Order shall be independent of those under all other Work Orders. Each Work Order shall be governed by the provisions of this Agreement and shall be deemed to incorporate by reference all terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall constitute a separate and binding contract between the Parties. Contractor shall perform the Work under each Work Order in accordance with GECP, Applicable Law, Applicable Codes and Standards, and all other terms and provisions of this Agreement and such Work Order. It is understood and agreed that the Work shall include any incidental work that can reasonably be inferred as necessary to complete any Scope of Work under any Work Order in accordance with GECP, Applicable Law, Applicable Codes and Standards, and all other terms and provisions of this Agreement, excluding only those items which Owner has specifically agreed to provide under the terms of this Agreement. SUBJECT TO WORK ORDER NO. 1, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT REQUIRES OWNER TO ORDER WORK FROM CONTRACTOR OR REQUIRES CONTRACTOR TO PROVIDE WORK TO OWNER, AND CONTRACTOR SHALL BE COMPENSATED ONLY FOR SUCH WORK AS CONTRACTOR ACTUALLY PERFORMS PURSUANT TO A WORK ORDER EXECUTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

Contractor shall not be responsible for providing (i) the Permits that Owner is responsible for obtaining in accordance with Section 4.2; (ii) those requirements set forth under Sections 4.3 and 4.5; (iii) legal description of the Site and a survey of the Site showing the boundaries of the Site and one survey control point pursuant to Section 4.5; and (iv) any other obligations or requirements expressly set forth in the Contract Documents as required to be performed by Owner.

C. EPC Agreement. If the Parties enter into an agreement for the engineering, procurement, and construction of the Facility (the proposed “EPC Agreement”), then the Work performed under the Contract Documents shall become part of the EPC Agreement and the terms and conditions of the EPC Agreement shall govern the Work performed under the Contract Documents and shall control over any terms in the Contract Documents. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS DO NOT IMPOSE ANY OBLIGATION ON OWNER TO ENTER INTO AN EPC AGREEMENT WITH CONTRACTOR FOR THE ENGINEERING, PROCUREMENT AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE FACILITY.

3.2 Applicable Law. By signing any particular Work Order, Contractor represents that it has investigated to its satisfaction Applicable Law (including any Applicable Codes and Standards incorporated into Applicable Law) in existence as of the applicable Work Order Effective Date, and warrants that it can perform the Work in accordance with such Applicable Law. Contractor shall perform the Work in accordance with Applicable Law, whether or not such Applicable Law came into effect before such Work Order Effective Date or during the performance of the Work. Contractor shall advise Owner of any change in Applicable Law occurring after such Work Order Effective Date.

- 12 -

3.3 Changes in Applicable Codes and Standards Not Constituting a Change in Law. Contractor shall provide notice to Owner on a timely basis, and no later than thirty (30) Days after such a change, of any change in Applicable Codes and Standards that does not constitute a Change in Law. Contractor shall inform Owner if compliance with a changed Applicable Code and Standard is mandatory to comply with GECP. In the event Owner, at its sole option, elects for Contractor to implement a change in Applicable Codes and Standards that does not constitute a Change in Law, Owner shall so inform Contractor in writing.

3.4 Design and Engineering Work.

A. General. Contractor shall, as part of the Work, perform all design and engineering Work in accordance with the Contract Documents and cause the Work to meet and achieve the requirements of the Contract Documents.

Owner shall have up to ten (10) Business Days from its receipt of Drawings and Specifications submitted in accordance with Section 3.4C.1 to issue to Contractor written comments, proposed changes and/or written disapprovals of the submission of such Drawings and Specifications to Contractor.

If Owner does not issue any comments, proposed changes or written disapprovals within such time periods, Contractor may proceed with the development of such Drawings and Specifications, but Owner’s lack of comments or disapproval, if applicable, shall in no event constitute an approval of the matters received by Owner.

In the event that Owner disapproves the Drawings or Specifications, Owner shall provide Contractor with a written statement of the reasons for such rejection within the time period required for Owner’s response, and Contractor shall provide Owner with revised and corrected Drawings and Specifications as soon as possible thereafter.

Owner’s lack of disapproval of or comments on, or any approval by Owner of, any Drawings and Specifications shall not in any way be deemed to limit or in any way alter Contractor’s responsibility to design and engineer the Facility and perform the Work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

D. Design Licenses. Contractor shall perform all design and engineering Work in accordance with Applicable Law, and all Drawings and Specifications shall be

- 13 -

If Contractor fails to take such action and the emergency requires immediate action, then Owner, with or without notice to Contractor may, but shall be under no obligation to, take reasonable action as required to address such emergency. The taking of any such action by Owner, or Owner’s failure to take any action, shall not limit Contractor’s liability. Contractor shall reimburse Owner in an amount equal to the reasonable costs incurred by Owner in taking such action.

Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining the Permits listed in Schedule B-1 and any other Permits to be issued in Contractor’s name as may be required to perform the Work under the Contract Documents.

When requested by Owner, Contractor shall provide Owner or its auditors with reasonable access to all such Books and Records, and Contractor’s personnel shall cooperate with Owner and such auditors to effectuate the audit or audits hereunder. Owner and its auditors shall have the right to copy all such Books and Records. Contractor shall endeavor to include audit provisions identical to this Section 3.13 in all Subcontracts. No access to Books and Records shall be granted to Owner’s auditors until such auditors have signed a confidentiality agreement with Contractor in accordance with the standard practice in the auditing industry for audits of this kind.

3.21 Cooperation with Others. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including Section 4.3, Contractor acknowledges that Owner or Owner’s other contractors or subcontractors may be working at the Site during the performance of the Contract Documents and Contractor’s Work or use of certain facilities may be interfered with as a result of such concurrent activities. Subject to Section 4.3, Contractor agrees to coordinate the performance of the Work with such other contractors or subcontractors performing work at the Site so as not to materially interfere with any of Owner’s other contractors or subcontractors performing work at the Site; provided, however, Contractor shall in all cases coordinate the Work with any Persons (other than Owner or Owner’s other contractors or subcontractors) on or using the Rights of Way and Easements, and Contractor shall adhere to the reasonable instructions provided by Owner or the applicable Landowner(s) in connection with Work performed within such Rights of Way and Easements.

- 20 -

4.4 Sales and Use Tax Matters.

A. Sales and Use Tax Exemption Certificates on Tax Exempt Equipment.

1. For Texas state and local sales and use tax purposes, the Contract Documents shall be considered to be a separated contract for the construction of new non-residential real property as defined under Applicable Law, including 34 Tex. Admin Code Rule § 3.291(a)(12). Work Orders, all Change Orders, and Contractor’s Invoices will separate pricing/charges for “skills and labor” from pricing/charges for Equipment and taxable services re-sold to Owner. Contractor’s Invoices shall further separate Contractor’s pricing for taxable Equipment and taxable services re-sold to Owner from Contractor’s pricing/charges for Tax Exempt Equipment. Contractor shall invoice Owner Texas sales and use tax on Contractor’s sales price of the separated taxable Equipment and separated taxable services re-sold to Owner. Owner will pay Contractor Texas sales and use tax and Contractor will remit these taxes to the appropriate taxing authorities. Contractor shall ensure that all Subcontracts are separated for Texas state and local sales and use tax purposes. Contractor shall issue valid Texas re-sale certificates to Contractor’s Subcontractors for Subcontractor purchases of Equipment and taxable services re-sold to Owner.

2. Owner shall list in each Work Order and Change Order those items of Equipment to be permanently installed at the Facility in which Owner intends to claim a manufacturing, pollution control or other applicable exemption from the payment of Texas state and applicable local sales and use taxes under Applicable Law, including the governing law specified in Section 20.9 (“Tax Exempt Equipment”), which such list as set out in the Work Order may be adjusted by Owner at its sole discretion with written notice to Contractor on or before the completion of the Work and formalized by Change Order. In addition, Owner will update the list of Tax Exempt Equipment and taxable services re-sold to Owner in a Work Order (i) with respect to any additional items of Equipment and taxable services re-sold to Owner added by Change Order which are subject to a manufacturing, pollution control or other applicable exemption from the payment of Texas state and applicable local sales and use taxes, or (ii) should Owner determine that any Equipment previously designated as taxable Equipment and taxable services re-sold to Owner should be designated as Tax Exempt Equipment or tax exempt services. Owner shall provide Contractor with a valid Texas state and applicable local sales and use tax exemption certificates claiming the manufacturing and pollution control exemptions for the Tax Exempt Equipment (including Tax Exempt Equipment added to a Work Order by Change Order). The Owner-issued Texas sales and use tax exemption certification will be supported by the Owner-provided list included and incorporated into applicable Work Order.

3. Contractor shall maintain for Owner’s review copies of Texas state and applicable local sales and use tax exemption certificates and other similar documentation necessary to support all Texas state and applicable local sales and use tax exemptions that may be available to Owner, Contractor or any Subcontractor in connection with the Work.

- 21 -

4. Contractor shall reasonably cooperate with Owner to minimize any and all Texas state and applicable local sales and use taxes relating to the Facility and the Work. If Contractor or any Subcontractor incurs any Texas state and applicable local sales and use taxes on any items of Tax Exempt Equipment or taxable services re-sold to Owner listed in a Work Order, due to Contractor failing to follow such Owner provided listed in the Work Order, Contractor shall be responsible for the payment of such Texas state and applicable local sales and use taxes, penalties and interest, without reimbursement by Owner and CONTRACTOR SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS OWNER GROUP FROM AND AGAINST ANY CLAIMS BY A GOVERNMENTAL INSTRUMENTALITY FOR SUCH TEXAS STATE AND APPLICABLE LOCAL SALES AND USE TAXES. If the state of Texas increases or decreases the state or local option sales and use tax rates, the increase or decrease will be to the Owner’s account.

5. For clarification purposes, it is understood that Owner is solely responsible for the accuracy of the Owner-provided list in the Work Order regarding Tax Exempt Equipment and taxable services re-sold to Owner. If Contractor or any Subcontractor pays or incurs any Texas state and applicable local sales and use taxes on any items of Tax Exempt Equipment or taxable services re-sold to Owner attributable to the Owner’s failure to provide Contractor with a valid Texas state and applicable local sales and use tax exemption certificate for all or any portion of the Tax Exempt Equipment and taxable services resold to Owner included in the Owner-provided list in the applicable Work Order (including adjustments made to a Work Order due to Change Orders), Contractor shall be entitled to reimbursement in accordance with Article 7 in an amount equal to such Texas state and applicable local sales and use taxes, penalties and interest, if any, that are properly owed and paid by Contractor for such Tax Exempt Equipment and services improperly identified by Owner in the Owner-provided list included in the Work Order regarding Tax Exempt Equipment and taxable services re-sold to Owner, and OWNER SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS CONTRACTOR GROUP FROM AND AGAINST ANY CLAIMS BY A GOVERNMENTAL INSTRUMENTALITY FOR SUCH TEXAS STATE AND LOCAL SALES AND USE TAXES.

B. Texas Sales and Use Tax on Taxable Equipment & Taxable Services Re-Sold to Owner. With each Invoice that includes any Equipment to be permanently installed in the Project (other than Tax Exempt Equipment) and taxable services resold to Owner including items such as real property services and non-Hazardous Materials removal services, Contractor shall separately list in the Invoice and bill Owner the Texas state and applicable local sales and use taxes with respect to such taxable Equipment and services. Contractor invoice charges for labor and skills will be separated from Contractor invoice charges for Equipment. In addition, Contractor will separate invoice charges for taxable Equipment from invoice charges for Tax Exempt Equipment and services. In no instance will “skills and labor”, service, fabrication labor or any other form of labor charge” be billed together with a charge for taxable Equipment. The Texas state and applicable local sales and use taxes charged to Owner shall be based on the prices listed in Attachment C and the schedule in the applicable Work Order. Texas sales and use tax amounts billed Owner will be subject to the provisions of Section 4.4A.4 and 4.4A5 (which

- 22 -

may be subject to Change Order or Work Order), which shall represent Owner’s maximum liability to Contractor for Texas state and applicable local sales and use taxes on taxable Equipment and services. Subject to other provisions of this Agreement, Owner shall remit to Contractor the payment of such Texas sales and use taxes within the time allowed for the payment of Invoices under this Agreement. Contractor shall be responsible for paying to the applicable Governmental Instrumentality all applicable Texas state and applicable local sales and use taxes owed under Applicable Law with respect to taxable Equipment and services. If the Owner elects to dispute the applicable Texas state and applicable sales and use taxes on any item, Owner shall bear the costs incurred in resolving such dispute.

4.5 Legal Description and Survey. As of the Agreement Effective Date, Owner has provided to Contractor (i) the legal description of the Site as set forth in Attachment E and (ii) a survey of the Site showing the boundaries of the Site and one survey control point, prepared by Shiner Moseley and Associates, Inc., dated June 8, 2004. Contractor shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy of this information. To the extent any existing structures or utilities are shown in the survey, Contractor shall independently verify the locations of such existing structures and utilities.

4.6 Owner-Provided Items. Owner shall provide those items listed in Attachment K (within the times listed in Attachment K) or any other items specified in a Work Order as being Owner-provided items. The items already provided by Owner are listed in Attachment K. The Contractor shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy and completeness of those items designated by Owner as “Rely Upon” within the Design Basis in Schedule A-2.

4.7 Excusable Delay. Owner’s obligations under this Agreement, except for any obligation to pay monies due to Contractor as provided under this Agreement, shall be suspended to the extent that performance of such obligation is delayed or prevented by Excusable Delay.

4.8 Personal and Real Property Taxes. Owner shall be responsible for personal and real property Taxes on the Facility and the Equipment that are stored or located on the Site on the applicable Tax assessment date provided for under Applicable Law.

4.9 Waivers of Consequential Damages from Landowners. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Contractor, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, Owner is responsible for obtaining a written waiver of consequential damages from Landowners in favor of Contractor as a condition precedent to Contractor’s obligation to commence Work in those areas of the Site that cause Contractor to interface with such Landowner.

A. Defective Work, unless Contractor has, within fourteen (14) Days of a written notice given by Owner to Contractor, either (i) remedied such Defective Work or (ii) if such Defective Work cannot be remedied by the exercise of reasonable diligence within such fourteen (14) Day period, provided Owner with a written plan, reasonably acceptable to Owner, to remedy such Defective Work and commenced the remedy of such Defective Work;

B. liens or other encumbrances on all or a portion of the Site or the Work, which are filed by any Subcontractor or any other Person acting through or under any of them unless Contractor has, within fourteen (14) Days of a written notice given by Owner

- 28 -

to Contractor, taken any of the following actions: (i) paid, satisfied or discharged the applicable liability, (ii) removed the lien or other encumbrance, or (iii) provided Owner with a bank guarantee or bond reasonably satisfactory to Owner in the applicable amount;

C. any breach by Contractor of any material term or provision of the Contract Documents; unless Contractor has, within fourteen (14) Days of a written notice given by Owner to Contractor, either (i) cured such breach or (ii) if such breach cannot be cured by the exercise of reasonable diligence within such fourteen (14) Day period, Contractor has commenced corrective action and is diligently exercising all commercially practicable efforts to cure such breach;

D. the assessment of any fines or penalties against Owner as a result of Contractor’s failure to comply with Applicable Law;

E. amounts paid by Owner to Contractor in a preceding Month or through the Initial Payment, if applicable, which have been determined to have been an overpayment pursuant to the reconciliation process in Section 8.14 or are otherwise subject to a dispute under this Agreement between Owner and Contractor; or

F. any other costs or liabilities which Owner has incurred for which Contractor is responsible under the Contract Documents.

Notwithstanding Owner’s ability to withhold amounts due to the reconciliation process in Section 8.14 and in accordance with Section 8.11E, Owner shall pay Contractor the amount withheld as soon as practicable, but in no event later than twenty (20) Days after Owner’s receipt of an Invoice from Contractor, if Contractor, as appropriate: (i) pays, satisfies or discharges the applicable liability and provides Owner with reasonable evidence of such payment, satisfaction or discharge, (ii) removes the lien or other encumbrance, (iii) cures the breach in question, (iv) remedies the Defective Work in question, (v) provides Owner with a bank guarantee or bond reasonably satisfactory to Owner in the amount of the withheld payment, and (vi) with respect to disputed amounts withheld pursuant to Section 8.11E, resolves the dispute in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article 17 (but only to the extent such resolution favors payment to Contractor).

8.12 Interest on Late Payments and Improper Collection. Any (a) amounts due but not paid hereunder within thirty (30) Days after the due date or (b) amounts withheld from Contractor but later finally determined in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Article 17 to have been improperly withheld shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) an annual rate equal to the prime rate set from time to time by Citibank, N.A. plus three percent (3%), or (ii) the maximum rate permitted under Applicable Law.

8.13 Offset. Owner may offset any amount due and payable from Contractor to Owner under the Contract Documents against any amount due and payable to Contractor hereunder.

8.14 Payment Error. If an error is made in connection with a payment, and such payment is an overpayment, the Party receiving the payment in error shall immediately refund the mistaken amount to the paying Party. Without limiting the preceding sentence, and in addition to any other remedy available to Owner under this Agreement, (i) if Owner discovers that Work

- 29 -

associated with a Work item contained Defective Work, then Owner may offset the amount of the payment against future payments in the amount of the payment until the correction of the Defective Work is achieved, (ii) if Owner discovers that any amounts paid by it to Contractor in a preceding Month was incorrect pursuant to Section 8.14, then Owner may offset such amounts against future payments, or (iii) if Owner discovers that any amounts paid by it to Contractor in a preceding Month lacked sufficient or accurate supporting information, then Owner may offset such amounts against future payments for such amounts until sufficient and accurate supporting information is provided pursuant to Sections 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5.

8.15 Reconciliation or True-Up of Payments. Contractor shall attach to each Invoice submitted in accordance with Section 8.2B all calculations and documentation, in accordance with Attachment C, which determine (i) the actual Cost of Work incurred by Contractor in the previous Month, including all calculations, data, work logs, invoices, receipts, and other supporting documentation necessary to justify such actual Cost of the Work and (ii) the Fee based upon Contractor’s calculated actual Cost of Work. Within five (5) Days of Owner’s receipt of such documentation and the actual Cost of Work, Owner may request from Contractor any additional documentation Owner requires to support the calculation of the actual Cost of Work. Should Owner and Contractor fail to agree upon the value of the actual Cost of Work or the Fee for such previous Month, such dispute will be resolved pursuant to Article 17. Failure of Owner to request additional documentation within the times specified above, or to object to the actual Cost of Work or Fee reported by Contractor and included in an Invoice, shall not prejudice Owner’s rights to later require such documentation or later object to such Cost of Work and Fee. Notwithstanding Owner or Contractor’s right to resolve a dispute regarding the actual Cost of Work or Fee in a particular Month pursuant to Article 17, Owner shall have the right to offset or withhold, from the current Month’s Invoice, the difference between (a) the aggregate of (i) the estimated Cost of Work for the previous Month’s Work and (ii) the estimated Fee for the previous Month’s Work and (b) the aggregate of (i) the undisputed portion of the actual Cost of Work for the previous Month’s Work and (ii) the undisputed portion of the Fee for the previous Month’s Work.

Subject to Contractor’s receipt of all payments of undisputed amounts currently due in accordance with the terms of the Contract Documents, Contractor warrants and guarantees that legal title to and ownership of the Work shall be free and clear of any and all liens, claims, security interests or other encumbrances arising out of the Work when title thereto passes to Owner.

9.2 Title to Work. Title to all or any portion of the Work (other than Work Product) shall pass to Owner upon the earlier of (i) payment by Owner therefore or (ii) delivery of such Work upon the Site.

9.3 Risk of Loss. At all times during the effective period of this Agreement Owner shall retain any and all risk of loss or damage to the Work (including Equipment), provided that Contractor obtains and maintains the builder’s risk insurance as required under this Agreement. Whether or not Owner or Contractor insures or self-insures, Contractor is fully released from any

- 30 -

and all such risk, and Owner agrees to waive all of its rights and require its insurers, as applicable, to waive subrogation rights against Contractor for loss or damage to the Work, even if such damage is caused by the negligence or fault of Contractor, and not only to the extent of Owner’s or Contractor’s insurance coverage, provided that Contractor obtains and maintains the builder’s risk insurance as required under this Agreement. Contractor will protect the Work against loss or damage from and after the time the Parties mutually execute a Work Order until such Work is finally accepted by Owner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.3 shall not in any way be deemed to affect Contractor’s obligations under Article 12.

Article 12

WARRANTY AND CORRECTION OF WORK

12.1 Warranty.

A. General. The warranties set forth in this Article 12 are hereinafter referred to as the “Warranties” or “Warranty”. Any Work, or component thereof, that is not in conformity with any Warranty is defective (“Defective”) and contains a defect (“Defect”).

B. Warranty of Work. Contractor hereby warrants that:

1. the Equipment, and each component thereof, shall be new (unless otherwise specified in the Contract Documents) and of good quality;

2. the Work (including the Equipment) shall be in accordance with all of the requirements of the Contract Documents, including in accordance with GECP, Applicable Law and, subject to Section 3.3, Applicable Codes and Standards; and

3. the Work (including the Equipment) shall be free from encumbrances to title, as set forth in greater detail in Section 9.1.

C. Assignment and Enforcement of Subcontractor Warranties. Contractor shall obtain warranties from Subcontractors that meet or exceed the requirements of the Contract Documents; provided, however, Contractor shall not in any way be relieved of its responsibilities and liability to Owner under the Contract Documents, regardless of whether such Subcontractor warranties meet the requirements of the Contract Documents, as Contractor shall be fully responsible and liable to Owner for its Warranty and Corrective Work obligations and liability under this Agreement for all Work. All such warranties shall run to the benefit of Contractor but shall permit Contractor, prior to assignment to Owner, the right (upon mutual agreement of the Parties), to authorize Owner to deal with Subcontractor on Contractor’s behalf. Such warranties, with duly executed instruments

- 34 -

assigning the warranties, shall be delivered to Owner concurrent with the end of the Defect Correction Period. This Section 12.1C shall not in any way be construed to limit Contractor’s liability under the Contract Documents for the entire Work or its obligation to enforce Subcontractor warranties.

D. Exceptions to Warranty. Contractor shall have no liability to Owner, for any damage or defect to the extent caused by: (i) improper repairs or alterations, misuse, neglect or accident by Owner; (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 Contractor to Owner; (iii) normal wear and tear; or (iv) normal corrosion.

12.2 Defective Work. If, at any time during the period commencing upon the Work Order Effective Date and ending upon the expiration of the Defect Correction Period, any of the Work under a Work Order is found to be Defective, Contractor shall promptly correct (whether by repair, replacement or otherwise) such Defective Work and any other portions of the Work damaged by such Defective Work (the correction of the Defective Work and any portions of the Work damaged by such Defective Work is hereby defined as the “Corrective Work”). Contractor shall be reimbursed for Contractor’s Cost of Work, as determined under Attachment C, for such Corrective Work (including costs incurred by Contractor and allowable as a Cost of Work in enforcing Subcontracts), it being understood and agreed upon between the Parties that Contractor shall receive no Fee or any other form of profit or markup for the performance of any Corrective Work. Contractor may not request compensation for Cost of Work incurred by a Subcontractor to perform Corrective Work, unless the applicable Subcontract is on a cost-reimbursable basis and expressly permits such Subcontractor to be paid compensation for performing Corrective Work. If Contractor fails to commence the Corrective Work within a reasonable time not to exceed five (5) Days, or does not complete such Corrective Work on a prompt basis once commenced, then Owner has the right, but not the obligation, to perform the Corrective Work, and Contractor shall be liable to Owner for all damages, costs, losses and expenses incurred by Owner in connection with such Corrective Work. At Owner’s sole discretion, such damages, costs, losses and expenses incurred by Owner for such portion of Corrective Work shall be payable by Contractor to Owner no later than thirty (30) Days after Contractor’s receipt of Owner’s Invoice for such damages, costs, losses and expenses, or Owner may withhold payment of amounts otherwise due under the Contract Documents in the amount of such damages, costs, losses and expenses. This Section 12.2 sets forth the exclusive remedy for a breach of Warranty, except for (i) Owner’s right to terminate this Agreement, (ii) Contractor’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) Owner’s right to bring an action against Contractor, the Guarantor, Zachry and/or AMEC for Contractor’s failure to commence or complete the Corrective Work as required above.

12.3 Extended Defect Correction Period for Corrective Work. With respect to any Corrective Work performed by Contractor, 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 final completion of the Work.

12.4 Standards for Corrective Work. All Corrective Work shall be performed subject to the same terms and conditions under the Contract Documents as the original Work is required to

- 35 -

be performed. In connection with the Corrective Work, any change to Equipment that would alter the requirements of the Contract Documents may be made only with prior written approval of Owner in accordance with Section 3.23.

12.5 Assignability of Warranties. The Warranties made in this Agreement shall be for the benefit of Owner and its successors and permitted assigns and the respective successors and permitted assigns of any of them, and are fully transferable and assignable.

12.6 Waiver of Implied Warranties. THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING WARRANTIES) ARE EXCLUSIVE AND THE PARTIES HEREBY DISCLAIM, AND OWNER HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL STATUTORY, ORAL OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES UNDER APPLICABLE LAW (INCLUDING THE GOVERNING LAW SPECIFIED IN SECTION 20.9), INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR TRADE USAGE. FOR AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES OTHER THAN AS STATED IN THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS.

Article 17

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

17.1 Negotiation. In the event that any claim, dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to the Contract Documents (including the breach, termination or invalidity thereof, and whether arising out of tort or contract) (“Dispute”) cannot be resolved informally within thirty (30) Days after the Dispute arises, either Party may give written notice of the Dispute (“Dispute Notice”) to the other Party requesting that a representative of Owner’s senior management and Contractor’s senior management meet in an attempt to resolve the Dispute. Each such management representative shall have full authority to resolve the Dispute and shall meet at a mutually agreeable time and place within fourteen (14) Days after receipt by the non-notifying Party of such Dispute Notice, and thereafter as often as they deem reasonably necessary to exchange relevant information and to attempt to resolve the Dispute. In no event shall this Section 17.1 be construed to limit either Party’s right to take any action under this Agreement, including Owner’s rights under Section 15.1.

17.2 Mediation. In the event that the management representatives are unable to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) Days of receipt of the Dispute Notice, then either Party may request a non-binding mediation of the Dispute by providing the other Party written notice requesting mediation of the Dispute (“Mediation Request”). The mediation shall be held in Houston, Texas, unless the Parties agree otherwise, and shall be conducted before a single mediator, who shall be mutually selected by the Parties. Should the Parties be unable to agree upon a mediator within ten (10) Days of the date that the Mediation Request is received, either Party may petition the Houston, Texas office of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for the appointment of a mediator, and the mediation, including the selection of the mediator, shall then occur pursuant to the AAA’s Construction Industry Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures (including Procedures for Large, Complex Construction Disputes) (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect. The mediation shall be concluded within forty-five (45) Days of receipt of the Mediation Request, unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing. The Parties and the mediator shall maintain the confidentiality of the mediation and shall not rely on, or introduce as evidence in any arbitral,

- 47 -

judicial or other proceeding: (i) views expressed or suggestions made by either Party with respect to a possible settlement of the Dispute; (ii) admissions made by the other Party in the course of the mediation proceedings; (iii) proposals made or views expressed by the mediator; or (iv) the fact that a Party had or had not indicated a willingness to accept a proposal for settlement made by the mediator. With respect to expenses related to mediation, the expenses of witnesses for either Party shall be paid by the Party producing such witnesses; all other expenses of mediation, including required traveling, fees and other expenses of the mediator, and the expenses of any expert produced at the direct request of the mediator, shall be borne equally by the Parties unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing. Mediation is an absolute condition precedent to arbitration, except (i) to the extent necessary to avoid statute of limitation issues or to preserve bond rights, or (ii) if another Dispute between the Parties is already subject to arbitration pursuant to Section 17.3. The Parties agree that if any Dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) Days of the date that a Mediation Request is received, then either Party may by notice to the other Party refer the Dispute to be decided by final and binding arbitration in accordance with Section 17.3.

17.3 Arbitration. Any arbitration held under the Contract Documents shall be held in Houston, Texas, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, shall be administered by the Dallas, Texas office of the AAA and shall, except as otherwise modified by this Section 17.3, be governed by the AAA Rules then in effect. The arbitration shall be conducted by three (3) arbitrators, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing. The arbitrators shall determine the rights and obligations of the Parties according to the substantive law of the state of Texas, excluding its conflict of law principles, as would a court for the state of Texas; provided, however, the law applicable to the validity of the arbitration clause, the conduct of the arbitration, including resort to a court for provisional remedies, the enforcement of any award and any other question of arbitration law or procedure shall be the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C § 1, et seq. Issues concerning the arbitrability of a matter in dispute shall be decided by a court with proper jurisdiction. The Parties shall be entitled to engage in reasonable discovery, including the right to production of relevant and material documents by the opposing Party and the right to take depositions reasonably limited in number, time and place; provided that in no event shall any Party be entitled to refuse to produce relevant and non-privileged documents or copies thereof requested by the other Party within the time limit set and to the extent required by order of the arbitrators. All disputes regarding discovery shall be promptly resolved by the arbitrators. This agreement to arbitrate is binding upon the Parties, Guarantor, Contractor’s surety (if any) and the successors and permitted assigns of any of them. At either Party’s option, any other Person may be joined as an additional party to any arbitration conducted under this Section 17.3, including Guarantor, provided that the party to be joined is or may be liable to either Party in connection with all or any part of any dispute between the Parties. At Owner’s sole option, any Person may be joined as an additional party to any arbitration conducted under this Section 17.3, provided that the party to be joined is or may be liable to either Party in connection with all or any part of any Dispute between the Parties. Upon reaching a final decision, the arbitrators must render findings of fact and conclusions of law upon which the decision is based. All decisions shall be final and binding (except for any right to vacate the award as provided under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq.), in writing, signed by all arbitrators, and shall state the reasons upon which the award thereof is based, and judgment may be entered on the arbitration award in any court of competent jurisdiction. The decision may include an award of attorney’ fees and costs as the arbitrators will deem reasonable. The arbitrators shall not grant any punitive damages nor any relief prohibited by or inconsistent with the terms of the Contract Documents. The Parties agree that judgment on the arbitration award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof.

- 48 -

17.4 Continuation of Work During Dispute. Notwithstanding any Dispute, it shall be the responsibility of each Party to continue to perform its obligations under the Contract Documents pending resolution of Disputes. Owner shall, subject to its right to withhold or offset amounts pursuant to this Agreement, continue to pay Contractor undisputed amounts in accordance with the Contract Documents and, except as provided in the Contract Documents, continue to perform all of its obligations under the Contract Documents; provided, however, in no event shall the occurrence of any negotiation or arbitration prevent or affect Owner from exercising its rights under the Contract Documents, including Owner’s right to terminate pursuant to Article 15.
