For purposes of this paragraph, the term “generated” refers to all materials purchased by or brought to the Site by TANK CONTRACTOR or its Subcontractors or Subsubcontractors and does not mean stirring up, disturbing or otherwise releasing pre-existing Hazardous Materials. As between PURCHASER and TANK CONTRACTOR, PURCHASER will be responsible for all other Hazardous Materials present or occurring on the Site, provided that this sentence shall not relieve Diamond of any of its responsibilities or liabilities with respect to the Phase 1 Project. PURCHASER will provide TANK CONTRACTOR with a copy of all environmental reports with respect to the Site that were produced by or on behalf of PURCHASER prior to the Effective Date. |
14.3 | TANK CONTRACTOR shall deliver to PURCHASER (i) notice of any pending or threatened material environmental claim with respect to the Phase 2 Project, and (ii) promptly upon their becoming available, copies of written communications with any Governmental Instrumentality relating to any such material environmental claim. |

14.4 | TANK CONTRACTOR’s obligations under General Condition 39, titled INDEMNITY, apply to any liability arising in connection with or incidental to TANK CONTRACTOR’s performance or failure to perform as provided in this clause. |
GC-15 SITE CONDITIONS AND NATURAL RESOURCES
15.1 | TANK CONTRACTOR shall have the sole responsibility for satisfying itself concerning the nature and location of the Work and the general and local conditions, including but not limited to the following: |
(1) | Transportation, access, disposal, handling and storage of materials; |
(2) | Availability, cost and quality of labor (subject to SC-45), water, electric power and road conditions; |
(3) | Climatic conditions, tides, and seasons; |
(4) | River hydrology and river stages; |
(5) | Physical conditions at the Phase 2 Tank Site and the Phase 2 Project area as a whole (subject to GC-16); |
(6) | Topography and ground surface conditions; and |
(7) | Equipment and facilities needed preliminary to and during the performance of the Work. |
The failure of TANK CONTRACTOR to acquaint itself with any applicable conditions will not relieve TANK CONTRACTOR of the responsibility for properly estimating the difficulties, time or cost of successfully performing TANK CONTRACTOR’s obligations under this Tank Contract.
GC-16 DIFFERING SITE CONDITIONS
16.1 | If TANK CONTRACTOR encounters Subsurface Soil Conditions that (i) are materially different from the information regarding such Subsurface Soil Conditions as indicated in the Geotechnical Reports (including the encountering of Subsurface Soil Conditions that could not reasonably be anticipated by TANK CONTRACTOR using GECP and based on the information provided in the above Geotechnical Reports) and (ii) adversely affects (a) TANK CONTRACTOR’s costs of performance of the Work, or (b) TANK CONTRACTOR’s ability to perform any material obligation under this Tank Contract, TANK CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to seek relief in accordance with General Condition 32, titled CHANGES, provided that TANK CONTRACTOR immediately notifies PURCHASER in writing before proceeding with any Work that TANK CONTRACTOR believes constitutes a differing site condition. |
Page 13 of 57
16.2 | PURCHASER will then investigate such condition and make a written determination. If PURCHASER determines that such condition does constitute a differing site condition, TANK CONTRACTOR may then, pursuant to General Condition 32, titled CHANGES, submit a written proposal for an equitable adjustment setting forth the impact of such differing site condition. Failure of TANK CONTRACTOR to give prompt notice of the differing site condition (in no event shall such notice be given later than ten (10) Days after encountering such condition) shall be grounds for rejection of the claim to the extent PURCHASER is prejudiced by such delay. |
GC-17 TITLE TO MATERIALS FOUND
17.1 | The title to water, soil, rock, gravel, sand, minerals, timber, and any other materials developed or obtained in the excavation or other operations of TANK CONTRACTOR or any Subcontractor or Subsubcontractor and the right to use said materials or dispose of same is hereby expressly reserved by PURCHASER and its Affiliates. TANK CONTRACTOR may, at the sole discretion of PURCHASER, be permitted, without charge, to use in the Work any such materials that meet the requirements of this Tank Contract. |
GC-18 SURVEY CONTROL POINTS AND LAYOUTS
Prior to the date TANK CONTRACTOR first mobilizes to the Phase 2 Tank Site, PURCHASER will establish on the Site the centerpoint of Tank S-104 and Tank S-105, north arrow and an elevation benchmark, which benchmark shall remain in place for the duration of the Work related to Tank S-104 and Tank S-105. The benchmark shall be located on or near the point designated in the diagram attached hereto as Exhibit “B,” Appendix B-13.
18.1 | TANK CONTRACTOR shall complete the layout of all Work and shall be responsible for execution of the Work in accordance with the centerpoint, north arrow and benchmark, subject to such modifications as PURCHASER may require as Work progresses. |
18.2 | If TANK CONTRACTOR or any Subcontractor or Subsubcontractor moves or destroys or renders inaccurate the centerpoint or benchmark, such center point or benchmark shall be replaced by PURCHASER at TANK CONTRACTOR’s expense. No separate payment will be made for survey Work performed by TANK CONTRACTOR. |
GC-19 TANK CONTRACTOR’S WORK AREA
19.1 | TANK CONTRACTOR’s work area shall be the Phase 2 Tank Site, as set forth in the diagram attached hereto as Exhibit “B,” Appendix B-13. TANK CONTRACTOR shall confine its operations to the Phase 2 Tank Site. Should TANK CONTRACTOR find it necessary or advantageous to use any additional area off the Phase 2 Tank Site for any purpose whatsoever, TANK CONTRACTOR shall, at its expense, provide and make its own arrangements for the use of such additional off-site areas. TANK |
Page 14 of 57
CONTRACTOR shall not perform any Work at the Phase 1 Site or at any areas of the Phase 2 Site except for the Phase 2 Tank Site or as permitted by PURCHASER in writing.
GC-20 CLEANING UP
20.1 | TANK CONTRACTOR shall, at all times, keep the Phase 2 Tank Site in a neat, clean and safe condition. Upon completion of any portion of the Work, TANK CONTRACTOR and any Subcontractors and Subsubcontractors shall promptly remove from the work area all equipment, construction plant, temporary structures and surplus materials not to be used at or near the same location during later stages of the Work. |
20.2 | Upon completion of the Work and prior to final payment, TANK CONTRACTOR shall at its expense satisfactorily dispose of all rubbish, remove all plant, buildings, equipment and materials belonging to TANK CONTRACTOR, Subcontractors and Subsubcontractors and return to PURCHASER’s warehouse or Phase 2 Site storage area all salvageable PURCHASER-supplied materials. TANK CONTRACTOR shall leave the Phase 2 Tank Site in a neat, clean and safe condition. |
20.3 | In event of TANK CONTRACTOR’s failure to comply with the foregoing requirements, PURCHASER may accomplish them at TANK CONTRACTOR’s expense. |
GC-21 COOPERATION WITH OTHERS AND NO INTERFERENCE WITH PHASE 1 FACILITY
21.1 | PURCHASER, other contractors and other subcontractors may be working at the Site during the performance of this Tank Contract, and TANK CONTRACTOR’s Work or use of certain facilities may be interfered with as a result of such concurrent activities. PURCHASER reserves the right to require TANK CONTRACTOR to schedule the order of performance of the Work in such a manner as will minimize interference with work of any of the parties involved. |
21.2 | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Tank Contract, TANK CONTRACTOR shall perform the Work and TANK CONTRACTOR’s other obligations under this Tank Contract so that it does not negatively impact the cost or schedule for development of the Phase 1 Facility or those portions of the Phase 2 Facility not within the scope of this Tank Contract or otherwise interfere with the construction or operation of the Phase 1 Facility. During the performance of the Work or TANK CONTRACTOR’s other obligations under this Tank Contract, if an unforeseen situation, other than Force Majeure, arises that could potentially interfere with the operation of the Phase 1 Facility, TANK CONTRACTOR shall provide to PURCHASER, as soon as possible but no later than ten (10) Days prior to the time that TANK CONTRACTOR intends to perform such Work, a written plan listing the potentially interfering Work and proposing in detail how such Work will be performed to avoid interference with the operation of the Phase 1 Facility. Prior to performing such Work, PURCHASER and TANK CONTRACTOR shall mutually agree upon a plan, including an applicable schedule for performance, for TANK CONTRACTOR to execute such Work. If the unforeseen situation was not caused by TANK CONTRACTOR and is not an |
Page 15 of 57
item for which TANK CONTRACTOR assumed the risk or bears responsibility, and if compliance by TANK CONTRACTOR with this GC-21.2 causes a change in the Work affecting the cost or the Tank Contract Schedule, TANK CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to seek relief in accordance with General Condition 32, titled CHANGES.
GC-22 RESPONSIBILITY FOR WORK, SECURITY AND PROPERTY

Page 16 of 57
(2) | TANK CONTRACTOR shall comply with all security requirements for the Phase 1 Facility and the Phase 2 Facility. TANK CONTRACTOR shall cooperate with Management Contractor and PURCHASER on all security matters and shall promptly comply with any and all security arrangements for the Phase 1 Facility or the Phase 2 Facility, including any Operating Plant Procedures. Such compliance with these security requirements shall not relieve TANK CONTRACTOR of its responsibility for maintaining proper security for the above noted items, nor shall it be construed as limiting in any manner TANK CONTRACTOR’s obligation with respect to Applicable Law and to undertake reasonable action to establish and maintain secure conditions at the Phase 2 Tank Site. After the approval of the Security Plan in accordance with SC-11, if PURCHASER requires TANK CONTRACTOR to comply with any additional security requirements and they cause a change in the Work affecting the cost or the Tank Contract Schedule, TANK CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to seek relief in accordance with General Condition 32, titled CHANGES. |
22.4 | Property. TANK CONTRACTOR shall plan and conduct its operations so as not to: |
(1) | Enter upon lands in their natural state unless authorized by PURCHASER; |
(2) | Damage, close or obstruct any utility installation, highway, road or other property until Permits and the permission of PURCHASER therefore have been obtained; |
(3) | Disrupt or otherwise interfere with the operation of any pipeline, telephone, electric transmission line, ditch or structure, which if buried or hidden has been identified by PURCHASER, unless otherwise specifically authorized by this Tank Contract; or |
(4) | Damage or destroy cultivated and planted areas, and vegetation such as trees, plants, shrubs, and grass on or adjacent to the premises which, as determined by PURCHASER, do not interfere with the performance of this Tank Contract. This includes damage arising from performance of Work through operation of equipment or stockpiling of materials. |
22.5 | TANK CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to any extension of time or compensation on account of TANK CONTRACTOR’s failure to protect all facilities, equipment, materials and other property as described herein.

Prior to removal of any or all equipment, TANK CONTRACTOR shall clear such removal through PURCHASER. TANK CONTRACTOR shall not remove construction plant, equipment or tools from the Phase 2 Tank Site before the Work is finally accepted, without PURCHASER’s written approval. |
GC-24 ILLUMINATION
24.1 | When any Work is performed at night or where daylight is obscured, TANK CONTRACTOR shall, at its expense (except for the cost of electricity, which shall be provided by PURCHASER), provide artificial light sufficient to permit Work to be carried on efficiently, satisfactorily and safely, and to permit thorough inspection. During such time periods the access to the place of Work shall also be clearly illuminated. All wiring for electric light and power shall be installed and maintained in a safe manner and meet all applicable codes and standards. |
GC-25 USE OF COMPLETED PORTIONS OF WORK
25.1 | Whenever, as determined by PURCHASER, any portion of the Work performed by TANK CONTRACTOR is suitable for use prior to RFCD, PURCHASER may provide written notice to TANK CONTRACTOR of PURCHASER’s intent to occupy and use such portion of the Work, specifying the time and manner of PURCHASER’s intended occupation and use. TANK CONTRACTOR shall respond to PURCHASER’s notice of intent to occupy and use such portion of the Work, either agreeing to such occupation and use or providing comments and requesting an alternative time and manner of occupation and use. The Parties shall endeavor to agree on a time and manner of PURCHASER’s intended occupation and use of the Work. If the Parties cannot agree, PURCHASER shall have the right to occupy and use such portion of the Work upon giving TANK CONTRACTOR five (5) Days notice of |
Page 18 of 57
such intended occupation and use. Occupation and use shall not constitute acceptance, relieve TANK CONTRACTOR of its responsibilities, or act as a waiver by PURCHASER of any terms of this Tank Contract.
25.2 | TANK CONTRACTOR shall not be liable for normal wear and tear or for repair of damage caused by any misuse during such occupancy or use by PURCHASER. If such use increases the cost or time of performance of remaining portions of the Work, TANK CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to seek an equitable adjustment in the Tank Contract Price or Tank Contract Milestone Dates in accordance with General Condition 32, titled CHANGES. |
25.3 | TANK CONTRACTOR shall not use any permanently installed equipment unless PURCHASER approves such use in writing. When such use is approved, TANK CONTRACTOR shall at TANK CONTRACTOR’s expense properly use and maintain and, upon completion of such use, recondition such equipment as required to meet specifications. |
25.4 | If PURCHASER exercises its right to occupy and use a portion of the Work under GC-25.1, PURCHASER shall thereafter be responsible for risk of loss or damage to the specific portion of the Work occupied and used by PURCHASER, and unless the Parties agree otherwise, PURCHASER shall be responsible for safety procedures with respect to the specific portion of the Work occupied and used by PURCHASER; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, TANK CONTRACTOR shall remain fully responsible and liable to PURCHASER for its warranty and guarantee obligations under the Tank Contract. |
25.5 | If PURCHASER exercises its rights to access, test or inspect the Work, such activities shall not constitute occupation and use of the Work under this General Condition 25. |

GC-27 FIRST AID FACILITIES
27.1 | Where PURCHASER has first-aid facilities at the Phase 2 Site it may, at its option, make available its first-aid facilities for the treatment of employees of TANK CONTRACTOR who may be injured or become ill while engaged in the performance of the Work under this Tank Contract. |
27.2 | If first-aid facilities and/or services are made available to TANK CONTRACTOR’s employees then, in consideration for the use of such facilities and the receipt of such services, TANK CONTRACTOR hereby agrees: |
(1) | To include as part of its obligation under General Condition 39, titled INDEMNITY, the obligation to release, defend, indemnify and hold harmless PURCHASER Group from all claims, demands and liabilities arising from the use of such services or facilities; and |
(2) | In the event any of TANK CONTRACTOR’s employees require off-site medical services, including transportation thereto, to promptly pay for such services directly to the providers thereof. |
GC-28 INSPECTION, QUALITY SURVEILLANCE, REJECTION OF MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP
28.1 | All material and equipment furnished and Work performed shall be properly inspected by TANK CONTRACTOR at its expense, and shall at all times be subject to quality surveillance and quality audit by PURCHASER or its authorized representatives who, upon reasonable notice, shall be afforded full and free access to the shops, factories or other places of business of TANK CONTRACTOR and its Subcontractors and Subsubcontractors for such quality surveillance or audit. TANK CONTRACTOR shall provide safe and adequate facilities, drawings, documents and samples as requested, and shall provide assistance and cooperation including stoppage of Work to perform such examination as may be necessary to determine compliance with the requirements of this Tank Contract.

Page 20 of 57
prior to any necessary quality surveillance or test by PURCHASER, or any surveillance or test of which PURCHASER gave TANK CONTRACTOR reasonable notice, shall be uncovered and replaced at the expense of TANK CONTRACTOR if such covering interferes with or obstructs such inspection or test. Failure of PURCHASER to make such quality surveillance or to discover Defective design, equipment, materials or workmanship shall not relieve TANK CONTRACTOR of its obligations under this Tank Contract nor prejudice the rights of PURCHASER thereafter to reject or require the correction of Defective Work in accordance with the provisions of this Tank Contract.
28.2 | If any Work is determined by PURCHASER to be Defective or not in conformance with this Tank Contract the provisions of General Condition 37, titled WARRANTY / DEFECT CORRECTION PERIOD shall apply. |

GC-31 FORCE MAJEURE
31.1 | If TANK CONTRACTOR’s performance of this Tank Contract is prevented or delayed by Force Majeure, TANK CONTRACTOR shall, within forty-eight (48) hours of TANK CONTRACTOR’s knowledge of any such delay, give to PURCHASER written notice thereof and within seven (7) Days of the giving of such notice, a written description of the anticipated impact of the delay on performance of the Work. Delays attributable to and within the control of TANK CONTRACTOR or any Subcontractor or Subsubcontractor shall be deemed delays within the control of TANK CONTRACTOR. Failure to give any of the above notices shall be sufficient ground for denial of an extension of time. |
Page 21 of 57
31.2 | TANK CONTRACTOR shall demonstrate to PURCHASER its entitlement to such relief under this Article by providing to PURCHASER an updated Tank Contract 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 TANK CONTRACTOR’s entitlement to a time extension under this GC-31. Once provided, TANK CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to an extension to the applicable Target Milestone Date(s) or Tank Contract Milestone Date(s), or both, for delay, if and to the extent (i) such delay or prevention causes a delay in the critical path of the Work; (ii) such delay causes or will cause TANK CONTRACTOR to achieve the applicable Tank Contract Milestone after the applicable Target Milestone Date or Tank Contract Milestone Date; and (iii) TANK CONTRACTOR is unable to proceed with other portions of the Work so as not to cause a delay in the applicable Target Milestone Date and Tank Contract Milestone Date, provided that TANK CONTRACTOR has complied with the notice, Change Order and mitigation requirements of General Condition 32. If TANK CONTRACTOR is entitled to an extension of time for a Force Majeure event, the Parties will execute a Change Order in accordance with General Condition 32, titled CHANGES. |
31.3 | TANK CONTRACTOR will be entitled to an adjustment to the Tank Contract Price for any Force Majeure event that meets the requirements of GC-31.1 and GC-31.2 for reasonable incremental costs necessarily incurred by TANK CONTRACTOR as a result of such event, including the following: (i) to prepare the Work on the Site for a Force Majeure event, (ii) for demobilization from the Site, (iii) for remobilization to the Site, and (iv) delay costs, if any, as a result of a Force Majeure delay, such as stand-by costs, extended overhead costs, and equipment rental; provided that TANK CONTRACTOR shall bear at its own expense the first Two Hundred Fifty Thousand U.S. Dollars (US$250,000) of such costs with respect to any one Force Majeure event; but provided further that TANK CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to any time-related costs (such as standby costs and extended overhead costs) unless such Force Majeure event causes or will cause TANK CONTRACTOR to achieve the applicable Tank Contract Milestone after the applicable Tank Contract Milestone Date. To the extent such costs exceed the per occurrence amount stated above, TANK CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to an adjustment of the Tank Contract Price pursuant to General Condition 32, titled CHANGES. If a Force Majeure event causes a complete suspension of all Work that continues for a period of more than one hundred twenty (120) consecutive Days, TANK CONTRACTOR shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon at least thirty (30) Days prior written notice to PURCHASER, provided however that TANK CONTRACTOR shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement after such 120 Day period if the Parties agree to a Change Order increasing the Tank Contract Price and modifying the Tank Contract Schedule for the costs necessarily incurred due to, and the delay caused by, such Force Majeure event. |
Page 22 of 57
GC-32 CHANGES
32.1 | PURCHASER shall be entitled, without notice to the sureties if any, to make any change in the Work within the general scope of this Tank Contract, including but not limited to changes: |
(1) | In the drawings, designs or specifications; |
(2) | In the method, manner, or sequence of TANK CONTRACTOR Work; |
(3) | In PURCHASER-furnished facilities, equipment, materials, services or site(s); |
(4) | Directing acceleration or deceleration in performance of the Work; and |
(5) | Modifying the Tank Contract Schedule or the Tank Contract Milestone Dates. |
32.2 | If PURCHASER desires to make any such change, PURCHASER shall submit to TANK CONTRACTOR a written proposed “Change Order” setting forth the changes it desires to make to this Tank Contract or the Work. TANK CONTRACTOR shall respond in writing to PURCHASER’s proposal within thirty (30) Days, if practicable, stating the effect TANK CONTRACTOR contends the proposed change will have on the Tank Contract Price, in accordance with Special Condition 16, titled PRICING OF ADJUSTMENTS, the Target Milestone Dates, and the Tank Contract Milestone Dates. If PURCHASER agrees with TANK CONTRACTOR’s statement regarding the effects on the Tank Contract Price, the Target Milestone Dates and the Tank Contract Milestone Dates, the Parties shall execute a Change Order, incorporating the change to the Scope of Work, the Tank Contract Price, the Target Milestone Dates and the Tank Contract Milestone Dates, which Change Order shall amend this Tank Contract and be binding upon the Parties. If PURCHASER does not agree with TANK CONTRACTOR’s statement regarding the effects of the proposed change on the Tank Contract Price, the Target Milestone Dates and the Tank Contract Milestone Dates, the Parties shall discuss the change and attempt to negotiate an acceptable Change Order. If the Parties cannot agree to a Change Order, or if PURCHASER desires to have the changed Work commence immediately, PURCHASER may, subject to GC-32.9, issue a unilateral Change Order for the change in the Scope of Work, and TANK CONTRACTOR shall perform at PURCHASER’s option the modified Scope of Work on a time and material or cost reimbursable basis, in accordance with Special Condition 16, titled PRICING OF ADJUSTMENTS. Subject to GC-32.9, TANK CONTRACTOR shall perform the Work, as modified by the unilateral Change Order, even if TANK CONTRACTOR considers the change to be a dispute, pending resolution of the dispute. All Change Orders shall be in writing and signed by PURCHASER and TANK CONTRACTOR, and all unilateral Change Orders shall be in writing and signed by PURCHASER. |
32.3 | In addition, in the event of an emergency, which PURCHASER determines endangers life or property, PURCHASER may use oral orders to TANK CONTRACTOR for any Work required by reason of such |
Page 23 of 57
emergency. TANK CONTRACTOR shall commence and complete such emergency Work as directed by PURCHASER. The Parties shall memorialize and confirm such orders by Change Order or PURCHASER shall issue a unilateral Change Order for such emergency Work.
32.4 | In the event of a change in any applicable code or standard which does not constitute a Change in Law, TANK CONTRACTOR shall provide written notice to PURCHASER regarding such change. Upon receipt of such notice from TANK CONTRACTOR and in the event PURCHASER, at its sole option, elects for TANK CONTRACTOR to implement such change in applicable code or standard, PURCHASER may agree to a Change Order with TANK CONTRACTOR in accordance with this General Condition 32, titled CHANGES. In the event PURCHASER does not, at its sole option, elect for TANK CONTRACTOR to implement such change in applicable code or standard, TANK CONTRACTOR shall not be required to perform in accordance with such applicable code or standard. |
32.5 | If at any time TANK CONTRACTOR believes that acts or omissions of PURCHASER constitute a change to the Work not covered by a Change Order (including any delay caused by PURCHASER or any Person acting on behalf of or under the control of PURCHASER), TANK CONTRACTOR shall within ten (10) Days of discovery of such act or omission submit to PURCHASER a written notice and a “Change Order Request” explaining in detail the basis for the request. PURCHASER will either agree to a Change Order or deny the request in writing within thirty (30) Days of the date of receipt of the Change Order Request. If PURCHASER denies the Change Order Request, TANK CONTRACTOR must continue to perform the Work even if it considers the denial a dispute, pending resolution of the dispute. |
32.6 | Any delay by TANK CONTRACTOR in giving notice or presenting Change Order Request under this General Condition 32, titled CHANGES, shall be grounds for rejection of the claim if and to the extent PURCHASER is prejudiced by such delay. In no case shall a claim by TANK CONTRACTOR be considered if asserted after final payment under this Tank Contract. |
32.7 | Failure by PURCHASER and TANK CONTRACTOR to agree on any adjustment shall be a dispute within the meaning of General Condition 33, titled DISPUTES. |
32.8 | TANK CONTRACTOR shall proceed diligently with performance of the Work, pending final resolution of any request for relief, dispute, claim, appeal, or action arising under the Tank Contract, and comply with any decision of PURCHASER. |
32.9 | With the exception of any Tank Contract Price adjustment for the addition of Tank S-106, in no event shall PURCHASER be entitled to issue any unilateral Change Order in accordance with this Article 32 where such unilateral Change Order (i) would result in an increase equal to or exceeding an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Tank Contract Price as originally set forth in Exhibit “C”, or (ii) in conjunction with other unilateral Change Orders issued by PURCHASER (other than any Tank Contract Price adjustment contemplated for Tank S-106), would collectively result in an increase equal to or exceeding an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Tank Contract Price as originally set forth in Exhibit “C”. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that the adjustments contemplated under SC-45, and Exhibit C with respect to steel and other material price escalation, do not constitute unilateral Change Orders. |
Page 24 of 57
32.10 | If (a) PURCHASER or any Person acting on behalf of or under the control of PURCHASER, including but not limited to Management Contractor, delays the commencement, prosecution or completion of the Work, and if such delay is not the fault of TANK CONTRACTOR or its Subcontractors or Subsubcontractors but is caused by acts or omissions of any member of PURCHASER Group (including the presence of PURCHASER’s Hazardous Materials) or any other Person for whom any member of the PURCHASER Group is responsible, including Management Contractor (hereinafter “PURCHASER-Caused Delay”); (b) PURCHASER orders a change in the scope of the Work in accordance with GC-32.2, provided that a Change Order has been issued; or (c) a section of this Tank Contract expressly provides that TANK CONTRACTOR is entitled to seek relief under this General Condition 32, TANK CONTRACTOR is entitled to relief under this General Condition 32, and TANK CONTRACTOR’s compliance with that section causes a delay in or increases the cost of the commencement, prosecution or completion of the Work; then TANK CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to an adjustment in the Tank Contract Price to the extent, if any, permitted under GC-32.10(1), or an extension to the Target Milestone Date(s) and the Tank Contract Milestone Date(s) to the extent, if any, permitted under GC-32.10(2), provided that TANK CONTRACTOR complies with the notice, Change Order Request, and mitigation requirements of this General Condition 32, titled CHANGES. The Parties agree that for purposes of GC-32.10(a) above, TANK CONTRACTOR is not entitled to relief if PURCHASER is performing an act that it is entitled to perform under this Tank Contract, either expressly or by reasonable implication; for avoidance of doubt, such acts include requests to correct Defective Work, inspection of Work and review of documentation. Any adjustments to the Tank Contract Price, the Target Milestone Date(s) or the Tank Contract Milestone Date(s) shall be recorded in a Change Order. The Parties agree that if they execute a Change Order with respect to any change in the Scope of Work described in GC-32, any delay arising out of such change in the Scope of Work and meeting the requirements of this GC-32.10 shall be included in the Change Order incorporating such change in the Scope of Work. |
(1) | Compensation: For delays or changes that meet the requirements of GC-32.10, TANK CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to an adjustment to the Tank Contract Price based on the prices specified in SC-16 or, to the extent such costs are not specified in SC-16, for reasonable, additional direct costs, including delay-related costs, incurred by TANK CONTRACTOR, provided that TANK CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to any adjustments in the Tank Contract Price for delay-related costs unless and to the extent that the delay causes or will cause TANK CONTRACTOR to achieve an applicable Tank Contract Milestone beyond the applicable Tank Contract Milestone Date. |
(2) | Time Extension: TANK CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to a time extension to the applicable Target Milestone Date(s) and Tank Contract Milestone Date(s) for delay that meets the requirements of GC-32.10 if and to the extent (i) such delay causes a delay in the critical path of |
Page 25 of 57
the Work; (ii) such delay causes or will cause TANK CONTRACTOR to achieve the applicable Tank Contract Milestone after the applicable Target Milestone Date or Tank Contract Milestone Date; and (iii) TANK CONTRACTOR is unable to proceed with other portions of the Work so as not to cause a delay in the applicable Target Milestone Date and Tank Contract Milestone Date. TANK CONTRACTOR shall demonstrate to PURCHASER its entitlement to such relief under this GC-32.10(2) by providing to PURCHASER the current revised and updated Tank Contract Schedule using Primavera Project Planner (P3) in its native electronic format with actual durations entered for all performed activities on the critical path and re-forecasted clearly to indicate TANK CONTRACTOR’s entitlement to a time extension under this GC-32.10(2).
32.11 | The term “delay” as used in this Tank Contract shall include hindrances, disruptions or obstructions, or any other similar term in the industry and the resulting actual impacts to the time of performance of TANK CONTRACTOR’s Work caused by such hindrances, disruptions or obstructions, including inefficiency or lost production. |
For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties recognize and agree that a Work activity that is not on the critical path can become on the critical path, and if a delay causes a Work activity off the critical path to become a critical path activity, then that Work activity shall be considered a critical path activity for purposes of GC-31 and GC-32.
If TANK CONTRACTOR is entitled to an adjustment in a Target Milestone Date under GC-31.2 or GC-32.10 with respect to a Phase 2 Tank, TANK CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to a similar adjustment in the Tank Contract Milestone Date for such Phase 2 Tank. By way of example only, if TANK CONTRACTOR is entitled to a two (2) Day extension in the Target Milestone Date for a Phase 2 Tank, then TANK CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to a two (2) Day extension in the Tank Contract Milestone Date associated with such Phase 2 Tank. If, however, the last Target Milestone Date has already passed at the time TANK CONTRACTOR is delayed, and if TANK CONTRACTOR can demonstrate to PURCHASER’s reasonable satisfaction that TANK CONTRACTOR would have achieved the applicable Tank Contract Milestone in advance of the applicable Tank Contract Milestone Date, PURCHASER shall, in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, agree to an extension to the applicable Tank Contract Milestone Date that preserves for TANK CONTRACTOR’s benefit the gap between TANK CONTRACTOR’s anticipated completion date for the applicable Tank Contract Milestone and the applicable Tank Contract Milestone Date, provided that TANK CONTRACTOR meets all of the requirements under GC-31.2 (except GC-31.2(ii)) or GC-32.10 (except GC 32.10(2)(ii)), as applicable.
32.12 | With respect to GC-31 or GC-32, in no event shall TANK CONTRACTOR be entitled to any adjustment to the Target Milestone Dates, the Tank Contract Milestone Dates or the Tank Contract Price to the extent TANK CONTRACTOR could have taken, but failed to take, reasonable actions to mitigate such cost increase or delay. |

GC-33 DISPUTES
33.1 | Any claim arising out of or attributable to the interpretation or performance of this Tank Contract, which cannot be resolved by negotiation, shall be considered a dispute within the meaning of this clause. |
33.2 | In the event of a dispute, TANK CONTRACTOR or PURCHASER shall notify the other Party in writing that a dispute exists and request or provide a final determination by PURCHASER. Any such request by TANK CONTRACTOR shall be clearly identified by reference to this clause and shall summarize the facts in dispute and TANK CONTRACTOR’s proposal for resolution. |
33.3 | PURCHASER shall, within thirty (30) Days of any request by TANK CONTRACTOR, provide a written final determination setting forth the contractual basis for its decision and defining what Tank Contract adjustments it considers equitable. Upon TANK CONTRACTOR’s written acceptance of PURCHASER’s determination, the Tank Contract will be modified and the determination implemented accordingly or, failing agreement, PURCHASER may in its sole discretion pay such amounts and/or revise the time for performance of the Work in accordance with PURCHASER’s final determination. |
33.4 | If TANK CONTRACTOR does not accept PURCHASER’s final determination, the dispute shall within thirty (30) Days, be referred to senior executives of the Parties who shall have designated authority to settle the dispute. The Parties shall promptly prepare and exchange memoranda stating the issues in dispute and their respective positions, summarizing the negotiations that have taken place and attaching relevant documents. |
33.5 | The senior executives will meet for negotiations at a mutually agreed time and place. If the dispute has not been resolved within thirty (30) Days of the commencement of such negotiations, the Parties agree to arbitrate the dispute in accordance with Special Condition 31, titled ARBITRATION. |
GC-34 TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS
34.1 | Where TANK CONTRACTOR or any Subcontractors or Subsubcontractors fabricate or purchase equipment, materials or other tangible items (“Goods”) for incorporation into the Work or any of its separate parts, the title of such Goods shall pass to and be vested in PURCHASER when the first of the following events occurs: |
(1) | The Goods or part thereof is first identifiable as being appropriated to the Tank Contract, |
(2) | When PURCHASER pays for the Goods or part thereof in accordance with the Tank Contract, or |
(3) | When the Goods or part thereof are dispatched to or from TANK CONTRACTOR’s fabrication yard or to the Phase 2 Tank Site. |
Page 27 of 57
Similarly, title to all other portions of the Work shall pass to and be vested in PURCHASER when PURCHASER pays for such Work or part thereof in accordance with the Tank Contract.
34.2 | All Goods for incorporation into the Work or any of its separate parts, shall be segregated within TANK CONTRACTOR’s facilities (except during the fabrication process) and physically identified by tag or marker as property of PURCHASER and as Phase 2 Project materials that will be incorporated into the Work. |
34.3 | TANK CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees that legal title to and ownership of the Goods and all other 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 PURCHASER, and if any such warranty or guarantee is breached, TANK CONTRACTOR shall have the liability and obligations set forth in General Condition 39, titled INDEMNITY. |
34.4 | Such transfer of title in the Goods and other Work will be without prejudice of PURCHASER’s right to refuse the Goods and other Work to the extent of TANK CONTRACTOR’s negligence in case of non-conformity with the Tank Contract Documents. |
34.5 | Irrespective of transfer of title in the Work (including Goods), the responsibility and risk of loss with respect to all Work (including all Goods) shall be as follows: |
(1) | PURCHASER shall add TANK CONTRACTOR as an additional insured on the builder’s “all risk” insurance policy obtained by or on behalf of PURCHASER with respect to the Phase 2 Project (“Builder’s Risk Insurance”); |
(2) | TANK CONTRACTOR shall remain responsible for and have the risk of loss with respect to all Work (including Goods) at the Phase 2 Tank Site for the payment of the deductible on the Builder’s Risk Insurance, up to Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars (US$500,000) per occurrence (with no aggregate cap), regardless of fault, provided that for damage to or loss of the Work caused by wind or flood, as those terms are defined under the Builder’s Risk Insurance, TANK CONTRACTOR shall be liable for the deductible up to Two Million US Dollars (US$2,000,000) per occurrence (with no aggregate cap), regardless of fault. If an occurrence under the Builder’s Risk Insurance damages or causes a loss to the Work and to the work of PURCHASER or PURCHASER’s Contractors on the Phase 2 Site, TANK CONTRACTOR’s liability for payment of the deductible on the Builder’s Risk Insurance shall be computed on a pro rata basis, subject to the per occurrence caps set forth above. |
(3) | Work (including Goods) that originates inside the continental United States while in transit within the continental United States and Work stored at off-site locations within the continental United States approved in writing by PURCHASER shall be covered by the Builder’s Risk Insurance and shall be subject to the same deductible allocations as set forth in GC-34.5(2). |
Page 28 of 57
(4) | For Work (including Goods) that originates outside the continental United States, TANK CONTRACTOR shall bear full risk of damage and loss to such Work until such Work is delivered to the Phase 2 Site or to an off-site storage location within the continental United States approved in writing by PURCHASER. Notwithstanding any provision of GC-34.5(3) to the contrary, TANK CONTRACTOR’s risk of damage and loss under this Section GC-34.5(4) includes transit to the continental United States and transit within the continental United States until such Work first reaches the Phase 2 Site or a PURCHASER-approved off-site storage location within the continental United States. |
(5) | After RFCD for a Phase 2 Tank, PURCHASER shall be responsible for and have all risk of loss with respect to such Phase 2 Tank, as between PURCHASER and TANK CONTRACTOR. |
(6) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, TANK CONTRACTOR shall remain fully responsible and liable to PURCHASER for its warranty and guarantee obligations under the Tank Contract. |
(7) | With respect to any damage or loss to the Work (including Goods), Contractor shall be entitled to a Change Order adjusting the applicable Target Milestone Date and Tank Contract Milestone Date if and to the extent permitted under GC-31. |
34.6 | TANK CONTRACTOR shall ensure that the above provisions are imposed upon all Major Subcontractors and Major Subsubcontractors, and shall make all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the above provisions are imposed upon all other Subcontractors and Subsubcontractors, and shall execute all documents and take all steps necessary or required by PURCHASER to vest title as PURCHASER may direct. |
34.7 | Title to standard Goods of the type usually bought in bulk such as reinforcement bars, piping materials, non-tagged instruments and instrument installation material, cable and similar items which are not incorporated into the Work shall revert to TANK CONTRACTOR upon agreement by PURCHASER that such Goods are not required for the Work. |
34.8 | With respect to any damage to the Phase 1 Facility, Phase 2 Facility (other than the Work) or any other property of PURCHASER (other than the Work) arising out of the performance of the Work under this Tank Contract, TANK CONTRACTOR shall be responsible and liable to PURCHASER for the deductible under PURCHASER’s or its Affiliates property insurance to the extent such damage results from the negligence of TANK CONTRACTOR or its Subcontractors or Subsubcontractors, up to Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars (US$500,000) per occurrence (with no aggregate cap). |

35.1 | Within thirty (30) Days after Effective Date, TANK CONTRACTOR shall submit a Phase 2 Project Quality Assurance Plan for engineering services and within ninety (90) Days after the Effective Date for fabrication and construction activities, for approval by PURCHASER. |
35.2 | The TANK CONTRACTOR’s Phase 2 Project Quality Assurance Plan shall address all activities relevant to the Work and shall demonstrate how all Work performed by TANK CONTRACTOR will conform to the Tank Contract requirements. |
35.3 | The plan shall address the interfaces between PURCHASER, TANK CONTRACTOR, and other relevant organizational entities. The plan shall include an organization chart showing TANK CONTRACTOR’s corporate and Phase 2 Project organization responsible for managing, performing and verifying the Work. The organization chart shall be supported with a reporting and functional description of TANK CONTRACTOR’s Phase 2 Project organization and identification of the quality related responsibilities of key positions. |
35.4 | The plan shall be updated as necessary throughout the Tank Contract, to reflect any changes to TANK CONTRACTOR’s documented quality system. |
35.5 | TANK CONTRACTOR’s documented quality system shall provide for the issuance of a “Stop Work” order by TANK CONTRACTOR or PURCHASER at any time during the Work, when significant adverse quality trends and/or deviations from the approved Quality Assurance Plan are found. |
35.6 | PURCHASER reserves the right to perform Quality Assurance Audits of TANK CONTRACTOR’s approved Quality Assurance Plan, including Subcontractors and Subsubcontractors, at any stage of the Work. |
35.7 | PURCHASER has outlined basic quality system requirements in Appendix B-1, GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR TANK CONTRACTOR QUALITY SYSTEMS. As applicable, TANK CONTRACTOR shall comply with this Appendix B-1. |
GC-36 RECORDS AND AUDIT
36.1 | TANK CONTRACTOR shall keep full and detailed books, construction logs, records, daily reports, schedules, accounts, payroll records, receipts, statements, electronic files, correspondence and other pertinent documents (“Books and Records”) as may be necessary for proper management under this Tank Contract, as required under Applicable Law or this Tank Contract, and in any way relating to this Tank Contract. TANK CONTRACTOR shall maintain all such Books and Records in accordance with GAAP and shall retain all such Books and Records with respect to each Phase 2 Tank for a minimum period of three (3) years after Final Acceptance for such Phase 2 Tank, or such greater period of time as may be required under Applicable Law. |
Page 30 of 57
36.2 | Upon reasonable notice, PURCHASER shall have the right to have audited, TANK CONTRACTOR’s Books and Records by PURCHASER’s third party auditors but only to the extent necessary to validate payments made to TANK CONTRACTOR or invoiced by TANK CONTRACTOR on the basis of time and material rates or cost reimbursable basis. With respect to Work performed on a cost reimbursable basis, such audit rights shall not apply to the composition of any xxxx-ups, unit rates, fixed percentages or multipliers included in this Tank Contract. When requested by PURCHASER, TANK CONTRACTOR shall provide PURCHASER’s auditors with reasonable access to all such relevant Books and Records, and TANK CONTRACTOR’s personnel shall cooperate with such auditors to effectuate the audit or audits hereunder. PURCHASER shall have the right upon consent of TANK CONTRACTOR (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to have the auditors copy all such Books and Records. TANK CONTRACTOR shall include audit provisions identical to this in all Major Subcontracts and Major Subsubcontracts. No access to Books and Records shall be granted to PURCHASER’s auditors until such auditors have signed a confidentiality agreement with TANK CONTRACTOR in accordance with the standard practice in the auditing industry for audits of this kind. |
36.3 | Within a reasonable period of time following a request by PURCHASER, TANK CONTRACTOR shall provide PURCHASER’s third party auditors with any information (including Books and Records) regarding quantities and descriptions of any equipment installed on or ordered for the Phase 2 Facility and any other information as PURCHASER’s third party auditors may deem reasonably necessary in connection with the preparation of PURCHASER’s Tax returns (including information reasonably required to determine the amount of Qualified Research Expenditures incurred in connection with the Work) or other Tax documentation in connection with the Phase 2 Project; provided, however, if, in connection with such preparation, PURCHASER’s third party auditors request information relating to the actual cost for any item of Work and such item of Work is included in the Tank Contract Price or in any lump sum Change Order, TANK CONTRACTOR shall provide such information to PURCHASER’s third party auditors as provided herein. No access to the aforementioned information (including Books and Records) shall be granted to PURCHASER’s auditors until such auditors have signed a confidentiality agreement with PURCHASER in accordance with the standard practice in the auditing industry for audits of this kind. |
36.4 | If PURCHASER establishes uniform codes of accounts for the Phase 2 Project, TANK CONTRACTOR shall use such codes in identifying its records and accounts. |
36.5 | TANK CONTRACTOR shall not, and shall provide that its Subcontractors and Subsubcontractors and agents or employees of any of them shall not, without PURCHASER’s prior written approval, (i) pay any commissions or fees, or grant any rebates, to any employee or officer of PURCHASER or their Affiliates, (ii) favor employees or officers of same with gifts or entertainment of a significant cost or value, or (iii) enter into any business arrangements with employees or officers of same. |

GC-37 WARRANTY / DEFECT CORRECTION PERIOD
37.1 | TANK CONTRACTOR warrants that: |
(1) | The Work, including all materials and equipment, and each component thereof, shall be new (unless otherwise specified in this Tank Contract) and of good quality; |
(2) | the Work (including all materials and equipment) shall be in accordance with all of the requirements of this Tank Contract, including in accordance with GECP, Applicable Law and applicable codes and standards; and |
(3) | the Work (including all materials and equipment) shall be free from encumbrances to title. |
37.2 | Should the Phase 2 Facility or any part thereof cease operating due solely to Defects or to corrective actions for Defects, the Defect Correction Period shall be extended by an amount of time equal to the amount of time during which the Phase 2 Facility was not in operation due to such Defects or for the correction of such Defects, subject to the thirty (30) month limitation set forth in GC-37.11. |
37.3 | TANK CONTRACTOR warrants that the written instructions regarding the use of equipment, including those instructions in operation and maintenance manuals, shall conform to this Tank Contract and GECP as of the time such instructions are prepared. If any non-conformance with TANK CONTRACTOR’s warranties set forth in this GC-37.3 occurs or is discovered at any time prior to or during the Defect Correction Period, TANK CONTRACTOR shall, at its sole expense, furnish PURCHASER with corrected instructions. |
37.4 | TANK CONTRACTOR shall, without additional cost to PURCHASER, obtain warranties from Major Subcontractors and Major Subsubcontractors that meet or exceed the requirements of this Tank Contract and make all commercially reasonable steps to obtain warranties from all other Subcontractors and Subsubcontractors that meet or exceed the requirements of this Tank Contract; provided, however, TANK CONTRACTOR shall not in any way be relieved of its responsibilities and liability to PURCHASER under this Tank Contract, regardless of whether such Subcontractor or Subsubcontractor warranties meet the requirements of this Tank Contract, as TANK CONTRACTOR shall be fully responsible and liable to PURCHASER for its warranty and correction of Defective Work obligations and liability under this Tank Contract for all Work. All such warranties shall run to the benefit of TANK CONTRACTOR but shall permit TANK CONTRACTOR, prior to assignment to PURCHASER, the right (upon mutual agreement of the Parties), to authorize PURCHASER to deal with Subcontractor or Subsubcontractor on TANK CONTRACTOR’s behalf. Such warranties, with duly executed instruments assigning the warranties shall be delivered to PURCHASER concurrent with the end of the Defect Correction Period. This shall not in any way be construed to limit TANK CONTRACTOR’s liability under this Tank Contract for the entire Work or its obligation to enforce Subcontractor and Subsubcontractor warranties. |
Page 32 of 57
37.5 | TANK CONTRACTOR’s warranties do not provide a remedy, and TANK CONTRACTOR shall have no liability to PURCHASER, for any damage or defect to the extent caused by: (i) improper repairs or alterations, misuse, neglect or accident by PURCHASER; (ii) operation, maintenance or use of the Phase 2 Tanks, Work or any component thereof in a manner not in compliance with a material requirement of operation and maintenance manuals delivered by TANK CONTRACTOR to PURCHASER; (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 PURCHASER at all reasonable times to determine whether the Work conforms to the requirements of this Tank Contract. Upon PURCHASER giving reasonable prior notice, TANK CONTRACTOR shall furnish PURCHASER with access to all locations where Work is in progress on the Phase 2 Tank Site and at the offices of TANK CONTRACTOR and its Subcontractors and Subsubcontractors. PURCHASER shall be entitled to provide TANK CONTRACTOR with written notice of any Work that PURCHASER believes does not conform to the requirements of this Tank Contract. If any Work is Defective prior to Provisional Acceptance, then TANK CONTRACTOR shall, at its own expense, correct such Defective Work. If such Defective Work is on the critical path for the Phase 2 Project or otherwise impacts the Phase 1 Facility or any portion of the Phase 2 Project (other than the Phase 2 Tanks), TANK CONTRACTOR shall commence the correction of such Defective Work within a reasonable time but in no event later than the earlier of five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice from PURCHASER or TANK CONTRACTOR’s becoming aware of such Defect, and shall diligently perform and complete the correction of such Defective Work using, as necessary, overtime or shifts and expediting the procurement of materials. If TANK CONTRACTOR fails to commence, perform or complete the correction of Defective Work as required by this GC-37.6, then PURCHASER, upon providing written notice to TANK CONTRACTOR, may perform such corrective Work and TANK CONTRACTOR shall be liable to PURCHASER for the reasonable costs incurred by PURCHASER in connection with performing such corrective Work and shall pay PURCHASER within ten (10) Days after receipt of written notice from PURCHASER an amount equal to such costs (or, at PURCHASER’s sole discretion, PURCHASER may withhold or offset amounts owed to TANK CONTRACTOR). 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) TANK CONTRACTOR, if such Work is found not to conform with the requirements of this Tank Contract, or (ii) by PURCHASER, if such Work is found to conform with the requirements of this Tank Contract. |
37.7 | PURCHASER shall provide TANK CONTRACTOR with a list of witness points for all equipment no later than sixty (60) Days after the Effective Date and PURCHASER shall notify TANK CONTRACTOR which of the witness points it wishes its personnel to witness. TANK CONTRACTOR shall provide PURCHASER with at least fifteen (15) Days prior written notice of the actual scheduled date of each of the tests PURCHASER has indicated it wishes to witness. TANK CONTRACTOR shall cooperate with PURCHASER if PURCHASER elects to witness any additional tests, and TANK CONTRACTOR acknowledges that PURCHASER shall have the right to witness all tests being performed in connection with the Work. Witness points or the timing thereof may vary for each tank and shall be re-submitted by PURCHASER for Tank S-106 if PURCHASER exercises Option 1. |
Page 33 of 57
37.8 | PURCHASER’s right to conduct inspections shall not obligate PURCHASER to do so. Neither the exercise of PURCHASER of any such right, nor any failure on the part of PURCHASER 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, PURCHASER’s acceptance of any Work which is later determined to be Defective shall not in any way relieve TANK CONTRACTOR 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 PURCHASER provides written notice to TANK CONTRACTOR within the Defect Correction Period regarding such Defect, TANK CONTRACTOR 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 PURCHASER shall state with reasonable specificity the date of occurrence or observation of the alleged defect and the reasons supporting PURCHASER’s belief that TANK CONTRACTOR is responsible for performing Corrective Work. PURCHASER shall provide TANK CONTRACTOR 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 PURCHASER and TANK CONTRACTOR. In the event TANK CONTRACTOR utilizes spare parts owned by PURCHASER in the course of performing the Corrective Work, TANK CONTRACTOR shall supply PURCHASER free of charge with new spare parts equivalent in quality and quantity to all such spare parts used by TANK CONTRACTOR as soon as possible following the utilization of such spare parts. |
37.10 | If TANK CONTRACTOR 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 PURCHASER provides TANK CONTRACTOR access to the Phase 2 Facility), then PURCHASER, upon providing prior written notice to TANK CONTRACTOR, may perform such Corrective Work, and TANK CONTRACTOR shall be liable to PURCHASER for the reasonable costs incurred by PURCHASER in connection with performing such Corrective Work, and shall pay PURCHASER, within ten (10) Days after receipt of written notice from PURCHASER, an amount equal to such costs (or, at PURCHASER’s sole discretion, PURCHASER may withhold or offset amounts owed to TANK CONTRACTOR 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 PURCHASER knows of such Defective Work, PURCHASER may perform such Corrective Work in order to correct such Defective Work without giving prior written notice to TANK CONTRACTOR. In such event, TANK CONTRACTOR shall be liable to PURCHASER for the reasonable costs incurred by PURCHASER in connection with performing such Corrective Work, and shall pay PURCHASER, after receipt of written notice from PURCHASER, an amount equal to such costs (or, at PURCHASER’s sole discretion, PURCHASER may withhold or offset amounts owed to TANK CONTRACTOR or collect on the Letter of Credit, if applicable, such costs). To the extent any |
Page 34 of 57
Corrective Work is performed by or on behalf of PURCHASER, TANK CONTRACTOR’s obligations with respect to such Defective Work that is corrected by on or behalf of PURCHASER shall be relieved, with the exception of TANK CONTRACTOR’s obligation to pay PURCHASER the reasonable costs incurred by PURCHASER in connection with performing such Corrective Work.
37.11 | With respect to any Corrective Work performed by TANK 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 with respect to a Phase 2 Tank (including Corrective Work) extend beyond thirty (30) months after TANK CONTRACTOR’s achievement of Provisional Acceptance for such Phase 2 Tank. |
37.12 | All Corrective Work shall be performed subject to the same terms and conditions under this Tank Contract as the original Work is required to be performed. In connection with the Corrective Work, any change to equipment that would alter the requirements of this Tank Contract may be made only with prior written approval of PURCHASER. |
37.13 | With respect to the Corrective Work, PURCHASER shall provide TANK CONTRACTOR with access to the Phase 2 Tanks sufficient to perform its Corrective Work under this Tank Contract, so long as such access does not unreasonably interfere with operation or construction of the Facility and subject to any reasonable security or safety requirements of PURCHASER and TANK CONTRACTOR. TANK CONTRACTOR shall provide at least one (1) week’s notice to PURCHASER if performance of the Corrective Work will interfere with operation or construction of the Facility, in which case PURCHASER may place reasonable limitations on TANK CONTRACTOR’s access to the Phase 2 Tanks such that performance of the Corrective Work will minimize disruption to the construction or operation of the Facility resulting from performance of such Corrective Work. |
37.14 | TANK CONTRACTOR shall not be liable to PURCHASER for any Defective Work discovered after the expiration of the Defect Correction Period (as may be extended pursuant to GC-37.2 and GC-37.11), except for any liability of TANK CONTRACTOR pursuant to its indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligations under this Tank Contract but such indemnification defense or hold harmless obligations are not warranty obligations under this section. |
37.15 | The Warranties made in this Tank Contract shall be for the benefit of PURCHASER and its successors and permitted assigns and the respective successors and permitted assigns of any of them, and are fully transferable and assignable. |
37.16 | THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS TANK CONTRACT ARE EXCLUSIVE AND NO OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS SHALL APPLY. THE PARTIES HEREBY DISCLAIM, AND PURCHASER HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES IMPLIED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW (INCLUDING THE GOVERNING LAW) INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. |

38.3 | The cost to correct TANK CONTRACTOR’s failure to comply or act as outlined above shall be PURCHASER’s documented costs resulting therefrom. |
38.4 | PURCHASER shall separately invoice or deduct from payments otherwise due to TANK CONTRACTOR the costs as provided herein. PURCHASER’s right to backcharge is in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided in this Tank Contract or by Applicable Law. Subject to the limitation of liability and waiver of consequential damages provisions contained herein, the performance of backcharge work by PURCHASER shall not relieve TANK CONTRACTOR of any of its responsibilities under this Tank Contract including but not limited to express warranties, specified standards for quality, contractual liabilities and indemnifications, and meeting the Tank Contract Milestone Dates. |
GC-39 INDEMNITY
39.1 | In addition to its indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligations contained elsewhere in this Tank Contract, TANK CONTRACTOR shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the PURCHASER Group |
Page 36 of 57
from any and all damages, losses, costs and expenses (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation or arbitration expenses) to the extent that such damages, losses, costs and expenses result from any of the following:
(1) | failure of TANK CONTRACTOR or its Subcontractors or Subsubcontractors to comply with Applicable Law; provided that this indemnity shall be limited to fines and penalties imposed on PURCHASER Group and resulting from the failure of TANK CONTRACTOR or its Subcontractors or Subsubcontractors to comply with Applicable Law; |
(2) | any and all damages, losses, costs and expenses suffered by a Third Party and resulting from actual or asserted violation or infringement of any domestic or foreign patents, copyrights or trademarks or other intellectual property owned by a Third Party to the extent that such violation or infringement results from performance of the Work by TANK CONTRACTOR or any of its Subcontractors or Subsubcontractors, or any improper use of Third Party confidential information or other Third Party proprietary rights that may be attributable to TANK CONTRACTOR or any of its Subcontractors or Subsubcontractors in connection with the Work; |
(3) | failure by TANK CONTRACTOR or any Subcontractor or Subsubcontractor to pay Taxes for which such Party or entity is liable; |

39.5 | Should TANK CONTRACTOR or any Subcontractor or Subsubcontractor or any other person, including any construction equipment lessor, acting through or under any of them, file a lien or other encumbrance against all or any portion of the Work, the Phase 2 Site or the Phase 2 Facility, TANK CONTRACTOR shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove or discharge, by payment, bond or otherwise, such lien or encumbrance within twenty-one (21) Days of TANK CONTRACTOR’s receipt of written notice from PURCHASER notifying TANK CONTRACTOR of such lien or encumbrance; provided that PURCHASER shall have made payment of all amounts properly due and owing to TANK CONTRACTOR under this Tank Contract, other than amounts disputed. If TANK CONTRACTOR fails to remove or discharge any such lien or encumbrance within such twenty-one (21) Day period in circumstances where PURCHASER has made payment of all amounts properly due and owing to TANK CONTRACTOR under this Tank Contract, other than amounts disputed, then PURCHASER may, in its sole discretion and in addition to any other rights that it has under this Tank Contract, remove or discharge such lien and encumbrance using whatever means that PURCHASER, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, including the payment of settlement amounts that it determines in its sole discretion as being necessary to remove or discharge such lien or encumbrance. In such circumstance, TANK CONTRACTOR shall be liable to PURCHASER for all damages, costs, losses and expenses (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees, consultant fees and arbitration expenses, and settlement payments) incurred by PURCHASER arising out of or relating to such removal or discharge. All such damages, costs, losses and expenses shall be paid by TANK CONTRACTOR no later than thirty (30) Days after receipt of each invoice from PURCHASER. |
39.6 | Not later than fifteen (15) Days after receipt of written notice from the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party of any claims, demands, actions or causes of action asserted against such Indemnified Party for which the Indemnifying Party has indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligations under this Tank Contract, whether such claim, demand, action or cause of action is asserted in a legal, judicial, arbitral or administrative proceeding or action or by notice without institution of such legal, judicial, arbitral or administrative proceeding or action, the Indemnifying Party shall affirm in writing by notice to such Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify, defend and hold harmless such Indemnified Party and shall, at the 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 |
Page 40 of 57
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. In the event of the failure of the Indemnifying Party to perform fully in accordance with the defense obligations under this GC-39.6, such Indemnified Party may, at its option, and without relieving the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, so perform, but all damages, costs and expenses (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees, and litigation or arbitration expenses, settlement payments and judgments) so incurred by such Indemnified Party in that event shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party, together with reasonable interest on same from the date any such cost and expense was paid by such Indemnified Party until reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party.
39.7 | Except as otherwise set forth in GC-39.2.A and GC-39.3.A above, the indemnity, defense and hold harmless obligations for personal injury or death or property damage under this Tank Contract shall apply regardless of whether the Indemnified Party was concurrently negligent (whether actively or passively), it being agreed by the Parties that in this event, the Parties’ respective liability or responsibility for such damages, losses, costs and expenses under this Article shall be determined in accordance with principles of comparative negligence. |
39.8 | PURCHASER and TANK CONTRACTOR agree that the Louisiana Oilfield Anti-indemnity Act, LA. Rev. Stat. § 9:2780, et. seq., is inapplicable to this Tank Contract and the performance of the Work. Application of these code sections to this Tank Contract would be contrary to the intent of the Parties, and each Party hereby irrevocably waives any contention that these code sections are applicable to this Tank Contract or the Work. In addition, it is the intent of the Parties in the event that the aforementioned act were to apply to this Tank Contract 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 Tank Contract, and TANK CONTRACTOR agrees that the Tank Contract Price (as may be adjusted by Change Order in accordance with General Condition 32, titled CHANGES), compensates TANK CONTRACTOR for the cost of premiums for the insurance provided by it under this Tank Contract. The Parties agree that each Party’s agreement to support their indemnification obligations by insurance shall in no respect impair their indemnification obligations. |
39.9 | In the event that any indemnity provisions in this Tank Contract are contrary to the law governing this Tank Contract, then the indemnity obligations applicable hereunder shall be applied to the maximum extent allowed by Applicable Law. |
39.10 | TANK CONTRACTOR specifically waives any immunity provided against its indemnity obligations in this Tank Contract by any industrial insurance or workers’ compensation statute. |

GC-40 PATENT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNITY
40.1 | TANK CONTRACTOR hereby indemnifies and shall defend and hold harmless PURCHASER Group from and against any and all claims, actions, losses, damages, and expenses, including attorney’s fees, arising from any claim, whether rightful or otherwise, that any concept, product, design, equipment, material, process, copyrighted material or confidential information, or any part thereof, furnished by TANK CONTRACTOR under this Tank Contract constitutes an infringement of any patent or copyrighted material or a theft of trade secrets. If use of any part of such concept, product, design, equipment, material, process, copyrighted material or confidential information is limited or prohibited, TANK CONTRACTOR 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 PURCHASER’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, |
(1) | That any such substituted or modified concepts, products, designs, equipment, material, processes, copyrighted material or confidential information shall meet all the requirements and be subject to all the provisions of this Tank Contract; and |
(2) | That such replacement or modification shall not modify or relieve TANK CONTRACTOR of its obligations under this Tank Contract. |
40.2 | In the event that any violation or infringement for which TANK CONTRACTOR is responsible to indemnify the PURCHASER Group as set forth in GC-39.1 and 40.1 above results in any suit, claim, temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction TANK CONTRACTOR shall, in addition to its obligations under GC-39 and GC-40.1, make every reasonable effort, by giving a satisfactory bond or otherwise, to secure the suspension of the injunction or restraining order. If, in any such suit or claim, the Work, the Phase 2 Tanks, or any part, combination or process thereof, is held to constitute an infringement and its use is preliminarily or permanently enjoined, TANK CONTRACTOR shall promptly make every reasonable effort to secure for PURCHASER a license, at no cost to PURCHASER, authorizing continued use of the infringing Work. If TANK CONTRACTOR is unable to secure such a license within a reasonable time, TANK CONTRACTOR shall, at its own expense and without impairing performance requirements, either replace the affected Work, in whole or part, with non-infringing components or parts or modify the same so that they become non-infringing. |
40.3 | The foregoing obligation in GC-40.1 shall not apply to concepts, products, designs, equipment, materials, processes, copyrighted materials or confidential information that (i) are ancillary to the core design of the Phase 2 Tanks; (ii) were not, in whole or in part, developed, created or modified by TANK CONTRACTOR; (iii) were provided in writing to TANK CONTRACTOR by PURCHASER; and (iv) are listed in Exhibit E or Exhibit F and apply to the following items: |

provided that if and to the extent TANK CONTRACTOR enters into any Subcontract or Subsubcontract for the performance of Work based on the designs, specifications or documents listed above; or through the use of licensed subcontractors and vendors or the payment of the proper license fees or royalties, TANK CONTRACTOR could have procured concepts, products, designs, equipment, materials, processes, copyrighted materials or confidential information that did not infringe or violate any Third Party IP; TANK CONTRACTOR’s obligations under GC-40.1 remain intact and the exceptions set forth in this GC-40.3 shall not apply.
GC-41 RIGHT TO WORK PRODUCT
41.1 | PURCHASER shall have, and TANK CONTRACTOR hereby grants PURCHASER a permanent, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use on the Project or any other project of PURCHASER or any of its Affiliates, including without limitation Creole Trail LNG, LP and Corpus Christi LNG, LP, any concept, product, process (patentable or otherwise), copyrighted material (including without limitation documents, specifications, calculations, maps, sketches, notes, reports, data, models, samples, drawings, designs, and electronic software), and confidential information (i) owned by TANK CONTRACTOR or any Subcontractor or Subsubcontractor upon commencement of the Work under this Tank Contract and used by TANK CONTRACTOR or any Subcontractor or Subsubcontractor in connection with the Project or (ii) furnished or supplied to PURCHASER by, or developed by, TANK CONTRACTOR or any Subcontractor or Subsubcontractor in the course of performance under this Tank Contract in connection |
Page 43 of 57
with the Project (collectively the “Work Product”). The foregoing license shall be assignable only to Affiliates of PURCHASER, and the license shall include the right of contractors and subcontractors to use the Work Product on projects of PURCHASER and its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any construction means and methods processes patented or copyrighted by Xxxxxx, PURCHASER’s license to use such Work Product is limited to the Project only.
41.2 | TANK CONTRACTOR shall identify portions of the Work Product, which contain Third Party Proprietary Work Product for which PURCHASER shall need to obtain permission from the appropriate owners of such Third Party Proprietary Work Product for use by PURCHASER on projects other than the Project. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Tank Contract, no license is granted to PURCHASER with respect to the use of any TANK CONTRACTOR proprietary software or computer systems. With respect to any Third Party Proprietary Work Product that is included in the Work Product, PURCHASER has the same rights as any other Work Product for use on the Project. “Third Party Proprietary Work Product” is intellectual property rights previously owned or developed by TANK CONTRACTOR’s Subcontractors or Subsubcontractors outside this Tank Contract or the Subcontracts or Subsubcontracts. |
41.3 | All Work Product, and all copies thereof, shall be returned or delivered to PURCHASER upon the earlier of expiration of the Defect Correction Period and termination of this Tank Contract, except that (i) TANK CONTRACTOR may, subject to its confidentiality obligations set forth in General Condition 43, titled NONDISCLOSURE, retain one record set of the Work Product and may use and modify such Work Product, and (ii) Subcontractors and Subsubcontractors may retain any Work Product generated by them so long as PURCHASER has been provided the following copies of such Work Product: six (6) hard copies; two (2) reproducible Drawings, where applicable; and two (2) sets each of fully editable and operable native and .pdf files of documents on CD for all such drawings and specifications. |
41.4 | All written materials, plans, drafts, specifications, computer files or other documents (if any) prepared or furnished by PURCHASER or any of PURCHASER’s other consultants or contractors shall at all times remain the property of PURCHASER, and TANK CONTRACTOR shall not make use of any such documents or other media for any other project or for any other purpose than as set forth herein. All such documents and other media, including all copies thereof, shall be returned to PURCHASER upon the earlier of expiration of the Defect Correction Period and termination of this Tank Contract, except that TANK CONTRACTOR may, subject to its confidentiality obligations as set forth in GC-43, retain one record set of such documents or other media. |
41.5 | In addition, PURCHASER and its Affiliates shall be entitled to modify the Work Product, including TANK CONTRACTOR’s intellectual property which may be imbedded in the Work Product in connection with the Project, provided that PURCHASER or its Affiliates shall first remove, or cause to be removed, all references to TANK CONTRACTOR from the Work Product and TANK CONTRACTOR’s intellectual property imbedded in the Work Product. PURCHASER shall defend, indemnify and hold TANK CONTRACTOR harmless from and against all damages, losses, costs and expenses (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation or arbitration expenses) incurred by TANK CONTRACTOR and caused by any modifications to the Work Product or TANK CONTRACTOR’s intellectual property. |
Page 44 of 57
41.6 | If PURCHASER or its Affiliates uses the Work Product on any other project on which neither Diamond (or any of its Affiliates), nor Xxxxxx (or its Affiliates), is a contractor or subcontractor with respect to the design or construction of a LNG tank, then PURCHASER shall indemnify and hold harmless TANK CONTRACTOR with respect to any claims made by third parties for failure of performance, personal injury or property damage due to or with respect to PURCHASER’s use of the Work Product on such other project. Before using any Work Product on another project as provided above, PURCHASER will remove from such Work Product any reference to TANK CONTRACTOR. |
GC-42 ASSIGNMENTS AND SUBCONTRACTS
42.1 | Any TANK CONTRACTOR assignment of this Tank Contract or rights hereunder, in whole or part, without the prior written consent of PURCHASER shall be void. |
42.2 | TANK CONTRACTOR shall not subcontract with any Person for the performance of all or any portion of the Work without the advance written approval of PURCHASER. All Subcontracts and Subsubcontracts, except with Vendors, must include provisions to secure all rights and remedies of PURCHASER provided under this Tank Contract, and must impose upon the Subcontractors and Subsubcontractors all of the duties and obligations required to fulfill this Tank Contract. With respect to Vendors, TANK CONTRACTOR must use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all Subcontracts and Subsubcontracts with Vendors include provisions to secure all rights and remedies of PURCHASER provided under this Tank Contract, and impose upon the Subcontractors and Subsubcontractors all of the duties and obligations required to fulfill this Tank Contract, and in any event, all Subcontracts and Subsubcontracts with Vendors must contain provisions to ensure PURCHASER’s rights and remedies under this Tank Contract with respect to General Conditions 13, 14, 28, 34, 35, 36, 37, 39, 40, 41 and 43, and Special Conditions 2, 7, 11, 12, 28, 34, 35, 36, 42, and 43. |
42.3 | All Subcontracts and Subsubcontracts shall, so far as reasonably practicable, be consistent with the terms or provisions of this Tank Contract. No Subcontractor or Subsubcontractor is intended to be or shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Tank Contract. |
42.4 | TANK CONTRACTOR shall (i) notify PURCHASER of any proposed Major Subcontractor or Major Subsubcontractor as soon as reasonably practicable during the selection process and furnish to PURCHASER all information reasonably requested with respect to TANK CONTRACTOR’s selection criteria, and (ii) notify PURCHASER no less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the execution of a Major Subcontract or Major Subsubcontract with a Major Subcontractor or Major Subsubcontractor. PURCHASER shall have the discretion, not to be unreasonably exercised, to reject any proposed Major Subcontractor or Major Subsubcontractor for a Major Subcontract or Subsubcontract. TANK CONTRACTOR shall not enter into any Major Subcontract or Subsubcontract with a proposed Major |
Page 45 of 57
Subcontractor or Major Subsubcontractor that is rejected by PURCHASER in accordance with the preceding sentence. PURCHASER shall undertake in good faith to review the information provided by TANK CONTRACTOR, expeditiously and shall notify TANK CONTRACTOR of its decision to accept or reject a proposed Major Subcontractor or Major Subsubcontractor as soon as practicable after such decision is made. Failure of PURCHASER to accept or reject a proposed Major Subcontractor or Major Subsubcontractor within twenty (20) Business Days shall be deemed to be an acceptance of such Major Subcontractor or Major Subsubcontractor, but PURCHASER’s acceptance of a proposed Major Subcontractor or Major Subsubcontractor shall in no way relieve TANK CONTRACTOR of its responsibility for performing the Work in compliance with this Tank Contract.
42.5 | For any Subcontractor or Subsubcontractor having a Subcontract or Subsubcontract value in excess of One Million U.S. Dollars (US $1,000,000), TANK CONTRACTOR shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the execution of any such Subcontract or Subsubcontract, notify PURCHASER in writing of the selection of such Subcontractor or Subsubcontractor and inform PURCHASER generally what portion of the Work such Subcontractor or Subsubcontractor is performing. |
42.6 | Within ten (10) Days of PURCHASER’s request, TANK CONTRACTOR shall furnish PURCHASER with a copy of any Subcontract or Subsubcontract, excluding provisions regarding pricing, discount or credit information, payment terms, payment schedules, retention, performance security, bid or proposal data, and any other information which TANK CONTRACTOR or any Subcontractor or Subsubcontractor reasonably considers to be commercially sensitive information. |
42.7 | In addition to the requirements above and without in any way relieving TANK CONTRACTOR of its full responsibility to PURCHASER for the acts and omissions of Subcontractors and Subsubcontractors, each Major Subcontract and Major Subsubcontract shall contain the following provisions: |
“This Subcontract [Subsubcontract] and any subcontract between Subcontractor [Subsubcontractor] and any of its lower-tier subcontractors may be assigned to PURCHASER without the consent of Subcontractor [Subsubcontractor] or any of its lower-tier subcontractors provided, however, with respect to each construction equipment rental or lease agreement, Subcontractor [Subsubcontractor] shall only be obligated to use its best efforts to include a provision that such agreement may be assigned to PURCHASER without the consent of the respective construction equipment lessor; and so far as reasonably practicable, the Subcontractor [Subsubcontractor] shall comply with all requirements and obligations of TANK CONTRACTOR to PURCHASER under their agreement, as such requirements and obligations are applicable to the performance of the Work under the respective Subcontract [Subsubcontract].”
42.8 | PURCHASER may, for the purpose of providing collateral, assign, pledge and/or grant a security interest in this Tank Contract to any Lender without TANK CONTRACTOR’s consent. When duly assigned in accordance with the foregoing, this Tank Contract shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the assignee; provided that any assignment by PURCHASER pursuant to this GC-42.8 shall not relieve PURCHASER of any of its obligations or liabilities under this Tank Contract. |
Page 46 of 57
42.9 | PURCHASER may assign this Tank Contract to any of its Affiliates by providing written notice to TANK CONTRACTOR. When duly assigned in accordance with the foregoing, this Tank Contract shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the assignee, and all obligations of PURCHASER shall become obligations of the assignee. Except as provided above and in GC-42.8, neither party may assign this Tank Contract to another party without prior written consent of the other Party hereto. When duly assigned in accordance with the foregoing, this Tank Contract shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the assignee, and all obligations of the assigning party shall become obligations of the assignee. No such assignment shall relieve the other Party of any of its obligations or liabilities under this Tank Contract, unless consent in writing to such assignment has been provided. |
42.10 | Any assignment not in accordance with this Article shall be void and without force or effect, and any attempt to assign this Tank Contract in violation of this provision shall grant the non-assigning Party the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Tank Contract at its option for default. |
42.11 | Any assignment by TANK CONTRACTOR shall not relieve TANK CONTRACTOR of any of its obligations or liabilities under this Tank Contract. |
42.12 | This Tank Contract shall be binding upon the Parties hereto, their successors and permitted assigns. |
42.13 | If the Tank Contract is assigned by PURCHASER, the term “PURCHASER Group” shall nevertheless include (i) Sabine Pass LNG, L.P. and its parent, Lender and each of their respective Affiliates and (ii) the respective directors, officers, agents, employees and representatives of each Person specified in clause (i) above. |
GC-43 NONDISCLOSURE
43.1 | Subject to GC-43.4, TANK CONTRACTOR agrees not to divulge to any Persons, without the written consent of PURCHASER, any information obtained from or through PURCHASER or its Affiliates in connection with the performance of this Tank Contract unless; |

(2) | The information is, at the time of disclosure by TANK CONTRACTOR, then in the public domain; or |
(3) | The information is obtained by TANK CONTRACTOR from a Third Party who did not receive same, directly or indirectly from PURCHASER and who has no obligation of secrecy with respect thereto. |
Page 47 of 57
43.2 | Subject to GC-43.4, TANK CONTRACTOR further agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of PURCHASER, disclose to any Person any information developed or obtained by TANK CONTRACTOR in the performance of this Tank Contract except to the extent that such information falls within one of the categories described in (1) through (3) of GC-43.1 above. |
43.3 | If so requested by PURCHASER, TANK CONTRACTOR further agrees to require its employees to execute a nondisclosure agreement prior to performing any Work under this Tank Contract. |
43.4 | Prior to disclosing any information that is covered by the confidentiality obligations in this GC-43 to any Subcontractor or Subsubcontractor as necessary to perform the Work, TANK CONTRACTOR shall bind such Subcontractor or Subsubcontractor to the confidentiality obligations contained in GC-43. Nothing in GC-43 or this Tank Contract shall in any way prohibit TANK CONTRACTOR or any of its Subcontractors or Subsubcontractors from making commercial or other use of, selling, or disclosing any of their respective intellectual property owned prior to the Effective Date (including any Third Party Proprietary Work Product). |
43.5 | The Parties acknowledge that in the event of a breach of any of the terms contained in GC-43, PURCHASER would suffer irreparable harm for which remedies at law, including damages, would be inadequate, and that PURCHASER shall be entitled to seek equitable relief therefor by injunction, without the requirement of posting a bond. |
43.6 | The confidentiality obligations of GC-43 shall expire upon the earlier of a period of ten (10) years following (i) the termination of this Tank Contract or (ii) Final Acceptance of the last of the Phase 2 Tanks. |
GC-44 SUSPENSION

PURCHASER shall give TANK CONTRACTOR instructions during suspension whether to maintain its staff and labor on or near the Phase 2 Tank Site and otherwise be ready to proceed expeditiously with the Work as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of PURCHASER’s further instructions. Unless otherwise instructed by PURCHASER, TANK CONTRACTOR shall during any such suspension maintain its staff and labor on or near the Phase 2 Tank Site and otherwise be ready to proceed expeditiously with the Work as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of PURCHASER’s further instructions.
44.2 | Upon receipt of notice to resume suspended Work, TANK CONTRACTOR shall immediately resume performance under this Tank Contract to the extent required in the notice. |
44.3 | If TANK CONTRACTOR intends to assert a claim for equitable adjustment under this clause it must, pursuant to General Condition 32, titled CHANGES and within ten (10) Days after receipt of notice to resume Work, submit the required written notification of claim and within twenty (20) Days thereafter its written proposal setting forth the impact of such claim.

15.5 | TANK CONTRACTOR hereby subordinates any mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens or other claims or encumbrances that may be brought by TANK CONTRACTOR against any or all of the Work, the Facility or the Site to any liens granted in favor of Lender, whether such lien in favor of Lender is created, attached or perfected prior to or after any such liens, claims or encumbrances, and shall require its Subsubcontractors to similarly subordinate their lien, claim and encumbrance rights. TANK CONTRACTOR agrees to comply with reasonable requests of PURCHASER for supporting documentation required by Lender in connection with such subordination, including any necessary lien subordination agreements. Nothing in this Article shall be construed as a limitation on or waiver by TANK 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 PURCHASER hereunder which are past due; provided that such lien, claim or encumbrance shall be subordinate to any liens granted in favor of Lenders. |
15.6 | Within thirty (30) Days after receipt of a correct Invoice, PURCHASER will pay TANK CONTRACTOR ninety-five percent (95%) of the correct Invoice amount, retaining the balance (“Retainage”). If there are any disputed amounts in an Invoice which PURCHASER has notified TANK CONTRACTOR of in accordance with SC-15.2, PURCHASER shall pay all undisputed amounts in the Invoice.

15.9 | If claims filed against TANK CONTRACTOR connected with performance under this Tank Contract, for which PURCHASER may be held liable if unpaid (e.g., unpaid withholding and back Taxes), are not promptly removed by TANK CONTRACTOR within seven (7) Days after receipt of written notice from PURCHASER to do so, PURCHASER may remove such claims and deduct all costs in connection with such removal from withheld payments or other monies due, or which may become due, to TANK CONTRACTOR. If the amount of such withheld payment or other monies due TANK CONTRACTOR under this Tank Contract is insufficient to meet such costs, or if any claim against TANK CONTRACTOR is discharged by PURCHASER after final payment is made, TANK CONTRACTOR and its surety or sureties, if any, shall promptly pay PURCHASER all costs incurred thereby regardless of when such claim arose or whether such claim imposed a lien upon the Work, the Facility or the Site. |
15.10 | Upon receipt by TANK CONTRACTOR of PURCHASER’s Provisional Acceptance Certificate for the last Phase 2 Tank under this Tank Contract, TANK CONTRACTOR shall prepare and submit its final invoice (“Final Invoice”), together with (i) a statement summarizing and reconciling all previous Invoices, payments and Change Orders; (ii) an affidavit that all payrolls, Taxes, bills for material and equipment, and any other indebtedness connected with the Work for which TANK CONTRACTOR and its Subcontractors and Subsubcontractors are liable (excluding Corrective Work) have been paid; (iii) fully executed Final Conditional Lien and Claim Waiver from TANK CONTRACTOR in the form of Exhibit “B” Appendix B-10, Form B-10-5, (iv) fully executed Final Conditional Lien and Claim Waivers from each Major Subcontractor and each Major Subsubcontractor in the form set forth in Exhibit “B” Appendix B-10 Form B-10-7.

15.12 | No payments of Invoices or portions thereof shall at any time constitute approval or acceptance of any Work under this Tank Contract, nor be considered a waiver by PURCHASER of any of the terms of this Tank Contract. Title to all equipment and materials which has vested in PURCHASER pursuant to General Condition 34, titled TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS, however, shall not be part of TANK CONTRACTOR’s property or estate, unless otherwise specified by Applicable Law, in the event TANK CONTRACTOR is adjudged bankrupt or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if a receiver is appointed on account of TANK CONTRACTOR’s insolvency, or if all or any portion of this Tank Contract is terminated. |

(1) | Estimated Lump Sum Price |
When TANK CONTRACTOR is directed to provide a lump sum price adjustment, it shall provide cost breakdown information for the purpose of and in sufficient detail to permit analysis and negotiation including but not limited to engineering, fabrication, labor categories, labor hours, equipment hours and material quantities and other supporting data upon which the lump sum is based.
(2) | Cost Reimbursable Basis |
If for any reason PURCHASER and TANK CONTRACTOR are unable to agree upon a lump sum Tank Contract Price adjustment the following provisions, which establish and define allowable costs and rates for force account work, shall also define allowable costs and rates for a determination by PURCHASER. TANK CONTRACTOR shall establish separate cost accounting records, subject to daily end-of-the day written approval by PURCHASER of all allocable costs on a force account basis. Reimbursement of reasonable and approved incurred costs, plus
Page 43 of 57
specified rates for overhead and profit, as defined below, shall be the basis for force account adjustment of the Tank Contract Price. Upon request by PURCHASER, TANK CONTRACTOR shall provide PURCHASER with copies of the fixed rates below for labor and equipment.
(a) | Direct Labor |
Wage rates for Field Labor shall be governed by Special Condition 45, titled WAGE ADJUSTMENTS. Incurred direct labor wages for salaried personnel working directly on the change shall be paid according to TANK CONTRACTOR’s salary schedule (sorted by classification). TANK CONTRACTOR shall provide PURCHASER with such salary schedule within thirty (30) Days of Notice to Proceed, and such schedule shall not be subject to adjustment, except on an annual basis by mutual agreement between the Parties.
PURCHASER shall approve timesheets on a daily basis. Timesheets shall be in sufficient detail to identify the Change Order, activities performed, the labor categories and applicable labor rate and hours expended. PURCHASER shall have access to TANK CONTRACTOR’s certified payroll records for verification of labor costs.
(b) | Equipment |
Approved incurred construction equipment, facilities and vehicle costs (exclusive of Taxes) at fixed rates are allowable. Construction equipment has an original purchase price of more than US$500. Small tools and equipment having original purchase prices of less than US $500 each, are deemed to be covered in the overhead and profit rates established by this clause. If operating costs such as fuel oil and grease are not included in rental rates they are also allowable.
(i) | TANK CONTRACTOR shall provide PURCHASER with rates for construction equipment, facilities and vehicles within thirty (30) Days after Notice to Proceed; such rates are not subject to adjustment, except on an annual basis by mutual agreement between the Parties. |
(ii) | When the operated use of equipment is infrequent and, as determined by PURCHASER, such equipment need not remain at the work site continuously, charges shall be limited to actual hours of use. Equipment not operating but retained at the location of changes at PURCHASER’s direction shall be charged at the standby rate. |
(iii) | For the cost of both rented and owned equipment to be allowable, PURCHASER must agree in writing, prior to their being used, that the individual pieces of equipment are needed, are appropriate for the work, and that the mobilization and demobilization costs are allocable to the change and acceptable. This is in addition to the daily end-of-day approval of operating time for such equipment. |
Page 44 of 57
(c) | Materials |
Approved incurred costs for material incorporated into the changed Work or required for temporary construction facilities made necessary by the change shall be allowable at net cost (exclusive of sales and use Tax) delivered to the Phase 2 Site plus ten percent (10%) overhead and profit for TANK CONTRACTOR.
(d) | Subcontracts and Subsubcontracts |
Approved incurred costs for Subcontract and Subsubcontract tasks shall be allowable plus ten percent (10%) overhead and profit for TANK CONTRACTOR for changes resulting in a Tank Contract price adjustment, including this percentage markup, of less than US $250,000, or will pay five percent (5%) for changes resulting in adjustments of US $250,000 or more; provided that PURCHASER has approved the Subcontract or Subsubcontract pursuant to General Condition 42, titled ASSIGNMENTS AND SUBCONTRACTS before any Work is performed.
SC-17 NOT USED
SC-18 QUALITY SURVEILLANCE INSPECTIONS
PURCHASER designated equipment or materials furnished by TANK CONTRACTOR shall not be deemed accepted until inspected by PURCHASER’s or PURCHASER’s representative in accordance with Exhibit “B,” Appendix B-1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR TANK CONTRACTOR QUALITY SYSTEMS.
SC-19 TRAINING PROGRAM
To provide trained operation and maintenance (O&M) personnel for PURCHASER’S O&M program, TANK CONTRACTOR shall support PURCHASER in the development and implementation of a program for training of PURCHASER nominated trainees in operating and maintaining the Phase 2 Tanks and systems/subsystems constructed and installed under this Tank Contract. Upon completion of the training program, the training aids, tools, test equipment, training manuals and other materials specific to the program shall be transferred to PURCHASER and PURCHASER may make video recordings of all training sessions for PURCHASER’S use.
SC-20 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
20.1 | The Parties hereby agree that the damages which PURCHASER will sustain as a result of TANK CONTRACTOR’s failure to meet key Tank Contract Milestone Dates are difficult or impossible to determine with certainty and, therefore, have in good faith estimated as fair compensation the liquidated damages (“Liquidated Damages”) as set forth |

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 or arbitration) such tax consultant shall not disclose to PURCHASER the actual cost incurred by TANK CONTRACTOR or its Subcontractors or Subsubcontractors for any item of material and equipment included in the Tank Contract Price, but the Parties agree that such tax consultant may report to PURCHASER the proper Louisiana Sales and Use Taxes properly payable under Applicable Law. No access to Books and Records shall be granted to PURCHASER’s third party auditors until such auditors have signed a confidentiality agreement with TANK CONTRACTOR or any applicable Subcontractor or Subsubcontractor with terms customary in the audit industry for audits of this kind. |
43.5 | Included in the Tank Contract Price is an allowance of Five Million Three Hundred Forty-Nine Thousand Four Hundred Seventy-Three US Dollars (US$5,349,473) for Louisiana Sales and Use Taxes arising in connection with the Work (“Louisiana Sales and Use Tax Allowance”). If the actual amount of Louisiana Sales and Use Taxes paid by TANK CONTRACTOR and its Subcontractors and Subsubcontractors in connection with the Work is less than the Louisiana Sales and Use Tax Allowance, PURCHASER shall be entitled to a Change Order reducing the Tank Contract Price by such difference. If the actual amount of Louisiana Sales and Use Taxes paid by TANK CONTRACTOR and its Subcontractors and Subsubcontractors in connection with the Work is greater than the Louisiana Sales and Use Tax Allowance, TANK CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to a Change Order increasing the Tank Contract Price by such difference; provided that TANK CONTRACTOR shall reasonably cooperate with PURCHASER to minimize any and all Louisiana Sales and Use Taxes arising in connection with the Work, and provided further that in the event that PURCHASER discovers that it has paid TANK |
Page 54 of 57
CONTRACTOR for any improperly assessed Louisiana Sales and Use Taxes, TANK CONTRACTOR shall reasonably assist PURCHASER in the recover of such refunds and overpayments.
SC-44 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Tank Contract to the contrary, TANK CONTRACTOR shall not be liable to PURCHASER under this Tank Contract or under any cause of action related to the subject matter of this Tank Contract, whether in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), strict liability, products liability, professional liability, contribution or any other cause of action, in excess of a cumulative aggregate amount of thirty percent (30%) of the Tank Contract Price (as may be adjusted by Change Order), and PURCHASER shall release TANK CONTRACTOR from any liability in excess thereof; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitation of liability set forth in this Special Condition shall not (i) apply to damages, losses, costs and expenses resulting from TANK CONTRACTOR’s criminal acts, fraud or gross negligence by Key Personnel or their superiors; (ii) apply to TANK CONTRACTOR’s obligations under General Condition 34.3, 39.1, 39.2, 39.4, 39.5 or 40.1; or (iii) include the proceeds paid under any insurance policy that TANK CONTRACTOR or its Subcontractors or Subsubcontractors are required to obtain pursuant to this Tank Contract, or Subcontract or Subsubcontract, as the case may be.

SC-45 WAGE ADJUSTMENTS
45.1 | PURCHASER and TANK CONTRACTOR have agreed that PURCHASER will assume certain responsibility for increases in compensation for direct labor and hourly labor, including but not limited to wages (inclusive of payroll burdens and benefits), per diems, and other living allowances (“Field Labor Rates and Compensation”) required to attract and maintain the number of skilled and productive direct and indirect hourly labor workers at the Phase 2 Project Site (“Field Labor”) necessary for Tank Contractor to perform the Work in accordance with the Tank Contract Schedule. PURCHASER’s obligation hereunder shall be irrespective of the cause of such increase, excluding cause within the control of or due to the fault of TANK CONTRACTOR. The Parties agree that the intent of this methodology will be to: (1) proactively address and adjust the Field Labor Rates and Compensation levels required to attract and maintain the number of skilled and productive Field Labor necessary for Tank Contractor to perform the Work; and (2) to provide provisions for timely payment terms with respect to increased compensation levels. The Parties acknowledge that the demand for skilled Field Labor may be greater than the local supply and that competitive wages and total compensation may need to be provided to attract and maintain skilled and productive Field Labor. |
45.2 | The Tank Contract Price includes baseline Field Labor Rates and Compensation (“Baseline Field Labor Rates and Compensation”) for each category of Field Labor. Contemporaneous with the execution of this Tank Contract, TANK CONTRACTOR shall provide to PURCHASER a listing of such Baseline Field Labor Rates and Compensation. |
Page 55 of 57
45.3 | The Tank Contract Price includes an allowance of Five Million US Dollars (US$5,000,000) (“Labor Compensation Allowance”) for the payment of increased Field Labor and Compensation hereunder. |
45.4 | If TANK CONTRACTOR believes that the Field Labor Rates and Compensation need to be increased over the Baseline Field Labor Rates and Compensation to attract and maintain Field Labor, the following shall apply: |
(1) | TANK CONTRACTOR may submit an invoice against the Labor Compensation Allowance for any Field Labor Rates in excess of the Baseline Field Labor Rates and Compensation, as permitted in SC-45.4(2) or 45.4(3). TANK CONTRACTOR is not entitled to, and may not invoice the Labor Compensation Allowance for, any markup for overhead, profit, fee, or otherwise on any such increased labor rates. |
(2) | If TANK CONTRACTOR believes it needs to increase the Field Labor Rates and Compensation to attract and maintain hourly craft labor, TANK CONTRACTOR shall submit in writing to PURCHASER a notice and substantiation of the need for such increase, with a five (5) day notice prior to implementation, for any portion of the first US$2,500,000 of the Labor Compensation Allowance to be allocated at the discretion of TANK CONTRACTOR. |
(3) | TANK CONTRACTOR may submit to PURCHASER a request for an increase in Field Labor Rates and Compensation above the US$2,5000,000 provided for in clause (2) above, up to the full amount of the Labor Compensation Allowance, including documents reasonably necessary to substantiate the need for an increase in the compensation required to attract and maintain qualified workers, including the Local Labor Survey as defined below. |
(a) | TANK CONTRACTOR shall provide any other information reasonably requested by PURCHASER with respect to TANK CONTRACTOR’s request for an increase in Field Labor Rates and Compensation. |
(b) | PURCHASER and TANK CONTRACTOR shall meet within five (5) Business Days after receipt of TANK CONTRACTOR’s request to evaluate TANK CONTRACTOR’s request for an increase in Field Labor Rates and Compensation. If PURCHASER agrees, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, that an increase in Field Labor Rates and Compensation is justified and has been substantiated by TANK CONTRACTOR, then PURCHASER and TANK CONTRACTOR shall agree to new maximum Field Labor Rates and Compensation for any or all categories of Field Labor. If PURCHASER does not agree with TANK CONTRACTOR’s request for an increase in Field Labor Rates and Compensation, PURCHASER shall give a written response to TANK CONTRACTOR within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such request, stating the reasons for PURCHASER’s disagreement. |
Page 56 of 57
(c) | If TANK CONTRACTOR pays Field Labor Rates and Compensation below the Baseline Field Labor Rates and Compensation, TANK CONTRACTOR shall credit the amounts below such Baseline Field Labor Rates and Compensation to the Labor Compensation Allowance. |
(d) | Failure by PURCHASER and TANK CONTRACTOR to agree on any adjustment shall be a dispute within the meaning of the General Condition entitled DISPUTES. |
45.5 | TANK CONTRACTOR shall provide documentation as reasonably requested by PURCHASER regarding amounts invoiced or paid for hourly craft labor, including workhours, wages rates, benefits, and other compensation paid. |
45.6 | Compensation packages for TANK CONTRACTOR Field Labor will not significantly differ from that offered by other large contractors providing construction labor for the Phase 1 Project or Phase 2 Project. TANK CONTRACTOR shall conduct a local and regional wage and total compensation survey (“Local Labor Survey”) to provide evidence of the need for an increase in Field Labor and Compensation under this SC-45. Such Local Labor Survey shall include the wage rates paid by other recognized owners, major contractors and their subcontractors performing or anticipated to be performing major capital projects (excluding turnarounds) during the term of this Tank Contract within a fifty (50) mile radius of the Phase 2 Project. |
45.7 | Any increase in Field Labor Rates and Compensation shall be applied to Work performed after the implementation of such increase. If PURCHASER denies an increase under SC-45.4(3) and such increase was owed, then the increase shall be retroactive to the date in which the request by TANK CONTRACTOR was made. The increases in Field Labor Rates and Compensation shall be applied to the budgeted hours, as reflected in the Baseline Field Labor Rates and Compensation, remaining for the Phase 2 Project (as may be adjusted by Change Order), not actual hours. |
45.8 | Any portion of the Labor Compensation Allowance not used or invoiced on the Phase 2 Project shall revert to PURCHASER. |
45.9 | All adjustments seeking an increase to the Labor Compensation Allowance shall be by Change Order. Other than PURCHASER’s agreement to increase Field Labor Rates and Compensation as set forth above, TANK CONTRACTOR retains all responsibility and obligation for the performance of the Work, including the timely performance of the Work by Field Labor. |

ATTACHMENT II - DRAWING AND DATA REQUIREMENTS
Code 3 | Revise and resubmit. Work may not proceed. | |
Code 4 | Review not required. Work may proceed. |
Although work may proceed on receipt of a drawing with a Code 2 notation, TANK CONTRACTOR must resolve the comments indicated, resubmit and obtain a Code 1 notation. Any drawing or document receiving a review Code 2 or 3 must be resubmitted until it achieves either a Code 1 or 4 review status. Final invoice will not be processed until all drawings and documentation requirements are fulfilled.
B. | All TANK CONTRACTOR data will be logged in and assigned a unique log number by PURCHASER. Subsequent submittals of the same documents will receive the same log number, which was assigned to the initial submittal, except that the submittal number will be changed. |
For example, the initial drawing received would be assigned:
On subsequent submittals, only the submittal will change. If the TANK CONTRACTOR incorporates this data into a manual, the data becomes part of the manual and the manual is logged in and assigned its own log number. Code 1 or 4 approval of a manual does not eliminate the requirements for all individually submitted documents to receive a Code 1 or 4 review code.

MHI is to further advise. The temperature sensors at the PRV discharge also need to be duplex type themocouple for possible flare application. REV01. The MHI proposal - Attachment 4 is not acceptable. Dual element RTDs have always been required by the Bechtel specification and will have a very little impact on MHI. The sheath for the RTDs goes all the way from the point of measurement to the flanged connections. Therefore if we have two RTDs in a single sheath there is no additional work inside the tank containment area. | |||||||||||
There will be a small purchase price increase for dual elements and the termination heads will be larger. Note that we are not requiring MHI/Matrix to wire these spares from the the RTD heads to the Junction boxes so there will be no additional wiring or increase in JB size. If and RTD were to fail and the spare was required, the termination change would take place in the RTD head not the junction box. The spares will be physically tagged (inside the RTD head) with the same numbers as the parent tag with the suffix “(Spare)”. We have relayed this in our comments on the MHI documents. These spare tags will not appear in the Intools Database. However the parent tag will have a comment in the remarks section of intools indicating that a spare is available if required. The temperature sensors at the PRV discharge also need to be duplex type themocouple for possible flare application. We received a package from MHI to review and one of the documents was the “Purchase Specification of Tank Temperature Instruments.” Be aware that MHI specified single element for the cooldown RTDs. | ||||||||||||||||||

8/22/2005 | Support Tower Loading Combinations | 8/24/2005 | RFI042 addressed the loading combinations. For the design of the support tower structural members, we intend to use LRFD3 rd Edition in accordance with ASCE 7-02 Section 2.3. ASCE 7-02, seismic condition refers to a maximum considered earthquake (MCE) representing a ground motion with 1 2 percent probability of exceedance in 50 years (ASCE 7 seismic maps are based on NEHRP 1997), SSE is a more severe earthquake representing a ground motion with 1 percent probability of exceedance in 50 years. SSE or OBE are not specifically in the design of the support tower for the seismice cases: 1. OBE condition with LRFD load combination : 1.2D + 1.0E (OBE) + L |
MHI would like to finalize the support tower design. | For design of the support tower structure, the seismic force per ASCE 7-02 should be used, in lieu of OBE & SSE. From the Project Seismic Hazard Report by ABS Consulting, the IBC seismic design separate are shown in Fig 18. Specifically the Sds & Sd1 are defined as follows.; Sds = 0.18g (@0.2sec) & Sd1 = 0.12g (@1sec) | ||||||||||||

Its distance from the pump cable seals, especially those on Pump Xxxxx M1 and M2,would require long stainless steel tubing runs. Also, the 4 branch connections, including that for Spare Pump Well M4,plus the2 nitrogen hose station pipes(1”-NI-39185-A1-N and1”-NI39186-A1-N)would result in cowding of branch connections on the 6” nitrogen pipe. 2) Nozzle N3c is located on top side of pipe. Simply providing a vent protector/vent screen will allow ingress of rainwater into the cable seal pipe. A goose neck tubing is recommended to which vent protector(plug vent) could be attache. |
