WHEREAS, Subcontractor has the resources, technically competent personnel and the desire to undertake the Work; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire that the Work be performed on the terms provided herein.
NOW THEREFORE, Contractor and Subcontractor, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, agree as follows:
Article 1
Definition and Conditions of the Work
Definition and Conditions of the Work
1.1 The Work to be performed by Subcontractor under this Subcontract shall comply with the terms and conditions applicable to Contractor, including technical specifications, contained in that certain Emergency Master Service Agreement for PREPA’s Electrical Grid Repairs – Hurricane Xxxxx dated October 19, 2017 (the “PREPA Agreement”) between Contractor and the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (“PREPA”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and made a part hereof. Subcontractor will perform its Work with due diligence and in a safe, competent, workmanlike and environmentally protective manner to prompt completion, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Subcontract, which services shall consist of providing certain work agreed upon in writing by Contractor and Subcontractor in a Work Order (as hereafter defined).
1.2 From time to time Contractor may issue to Subcontractor a written work order containing a written definition of the scope of Work involved and the basis for determining the amount to be paid to Subcontractor (as may be modified by one or more subsequently agreed upon change order(s), a “Work Order”), which Work Orders shall be negotiated to the mutual satisfaction of the parties and shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “C”, or such other form as the parties shall mutually agree. Neither Contractor nor Subcontractor shall be obligated to accept any proposed Work Order; however, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith and to endeavor to agree upon each proposed Work Order. Contractor will inform Subcontractor of its anticipated schedule for the performance of the Work included in each Work Order, and Subcontractor shall comply with that schedule in performing the Work. Any terms, conditions or stipulations in any delivery ticket, quote, proposal, pre-printed form or other instrument used by Subcontractor not in conformity with
1
the terms and provisions hereof and in the applicable Work Order shall be null and void, and this Subcontract shall control.
1.3 All Work shall be performed in accordance with this Subcontract and the applicable Work Order. In the event of conflict among any of the Work Order documents, the document bearing the latest date shall govern. In the event of conflict between this Subcontract and any of the Work Orders, this Subcontract shall govern.
1.4 Contractor may at any time during the progress of the Work make any changes of and/or to the Work as shown by the Work Order without invalidating this Subcontract or such Work Order. Before proceeding with any change, Subcontractor shall obtain a written and executed change order from Contractor. All such written and executed change orders will become a part of the applicable Work Order and no additional compensation, extensions of time or other changes will be recognized or paid for unless a written and executed change order for the same has been obtained from Contractor. For the avoidance of doubt, Contractor shall not be liable to Subcontractor for any work claimed to have been performed for the benefit of Contractor or others, unless Contractor has signed and delivered to Subcontractor a change order for such work.
1.5 Subcontractor shall comply with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances and codes applicable to the Work, and give adequate notices relating to the Work to proper authorities, and secure and pay for all necessary licenses or permits to carry on the Work.
1.6 Subcontractor shall as a minimum standard of safety comply with all applicable provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and all other statutory or contractual safety requirements applying to the Work. Subcontractor shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Contractor Group and its client(s) from and against any Claims (as hereinafter defined) arising from any alleged violation by any member of Subcontractor Group of any statutory or contractual safety requirements applicable to the Work and/or failure upon the part of any one or all of them to comply with any statutory or contractual safety and health standards, and all other pertinent municipal, state or federal laws, rules, codes or regulations of any law.
1.7 Subcontractor agrees that the contract price set forth in a Work Order includes all applicable sales taxes, excise taxes, transportation taxes, unemployment compensation taxes, old age benefits and social security taxes. In addition, Subcontractor agrees to withhold from all those employed by Subcontractor, withholding taxes and to pay the same to the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state revenue departments in accordance with the state and federal laws and regulations pertaining thereto.
1.8 Subcontractor agrees to comply with all applicable federal and state immigration laws and implementing regulations. Subcontractor confirms that it currently is, and will continue to remain, in full compliance with all relevant federal and state immigration laws and implementing regulations, including the obligation to verify and document the identity and employment eligibility of all employees by the timely and proper use of the USCIS Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9. Subcontractor also certifies that each and every one of its current/future employees who are currently/will be performing any of the Work or present at any location where the Work is being formed are/will be legally eligible to work in the United States.

Article 2
Time of Performance; Default
Time of Performance; Default
2.1 Time is of the essence in this Subcontract and in all applicable Work Orders. Subcontractor shall initiate Work immediately upon notice by Contractor to do so and shall complete all of the Work by the agreed-upon date as set forth in the applicable Work Orders.
2.2 In the event that Subcontractor fails to perform its obligations contained in this Subcontract or in any agreed upon Work Order or any provision thereof, or shall fail to prosecute the Work diligently and properly, and shall fail to remedy and correct such default entirely within three (3) working days after receipt from Contractor of a notice in writing to do so (except as otherwise set forth in Article 3 below), then, Contractor may declare Subcontractor in default. Contractor may then, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, retain and use all material, tools, and equipment of Subcontractor on the job site and obtain additional material, equipment and workmen, or contract with another party as necessary for completion of the Work. All expenses incurred thereby shall be treated as payments to Subcontractor under this Subcontract and the applicable Work Order and, if the total of such expense exceeds the balance payable under this Subcontract or Work Order, then Subcontractor shall reimburse Contractor for the entire amount of such excess immediately upon receipt of written demand therefor from Contractor.
2.3 If any action to have Subcontractor declared bankrupt shall be filed, or if any receiver shall be appointed for Subcontractor, or if Subcontractor shall make any assignment for benefit of creditors, or if Subcontractor should seek any protection or relief under bankruptcy law, or Subcontractor fails to prosecute the Work diligently, properly and without interruption, it shall constitute a default under this Subcontract and such Work Order. In such instances, Contractor may take all steps necessary to complete the Work timely and in compliance with this Subcontract, and treat the expenses incurred thereby as payments to Subcontractor under this Subcontract and the applicable Work Order. In addition to such other rights as it may have, Contractor may also withhold any payment due hereunder until all claims which might be asserted against the Work have been satisfied.
2.4 In addition to any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity, upon a default under this Subcontract or a Work Order, Contractor will be relieved from the responsibility, if any, of transporting Subcontractor, its employees and/or its equipment out of Puerto Rico and/or back to the continental United States or elsewhere, which arrangement, costs and expenses shall be the sole responsibility of Subcontractor.
Article 3
Default for Failure to Abide by the Policies
Subcontractor shall be in default upon Subcontractor’s failure to abide by (i) the Subcontractor’s Code of Conduct, attached hereto as Exhibit “D” and made a part hereof (the “Code of Conduct”), and (ii) Contractor’s Health Safety and Environmental Employee Manual, attached hereto as Exhibit “E” and made a part hereof (the “HSE Manual”, and together with the Code of Conduct, the “Policies”). In the event of Subcontractor’s failure to abide by the Policies, Contractor may terminate this Subcontract immediately upon notice to Subcontractor of such default, which notice shall set forth Subcontractor’s actions that Contractor considers to have constituted the breach.
3
Notwithstanding the provisions contained in Article 2 above, Contractor may not allow an opportunity to remedy this type of default. Contractor will also set forth in said notice of default, in accordance with the provisions of Article 2, whether or not Contractor will retain possession of and use all material, tools, and equipment of Subcontractor on the job site and obtain additional material, equipment and workmen, or contract with another party as necessary in order to complete any Work left unfinished by Subcontractor. Upon receipt of a notice of default for failure to abide by the Policies, Subcontractor will thereafter have twenty-four (24) hours to notify its employees of the same and vacate the job site. Additionally, upon such a default, Contractor will be relieved from the responsibility, if any, of transporting Subcontractor, its employees and/or its equipment out of Puerto Rico and/or back to the continental United States or elsewhere, which arrangement, costs and expenses shall be the sole responsibility of Subcontractor.
Article 1

Contractor shall, on behalf of itself and its client(s), pay Subcontractor the amount(s) provided in the applicable Work Orders and using Subcontractor’s rate sheet attached hereto as Exhibit “B” and made a part hereof; provided, that Contractor’s obligation to make payment to Subcontractor shall be expressly contingent upon Contractor’s prior receipt of payment from PREPA pursuant to the PREPA Agreement. It is understood by the parties however, that the foregoing sentence is not a waiver of Subcontractor’s right to ultimately receive payment for work properly performed under this Subcontract from Contractor; rather, it is intended to be an acknowledgment that the timing or scheduling of payments to Subcontractor by Contractor, may be affected by the timing of Contractor’s receipt of payments from PREPA. Except as otherwise specifically provided for in the applicable Work Orders, all sales taxes in effect at the time of the performance of the Work shall be the cost and expense of, and shall be timely paid by, Subcontractor.
Article 3

Subcontractor understands and agrees that payments made to it from Contractor are governed by applicable Federal Acquisition Regulations and will made in accordance therewith.

Article 4
Termination
Termination
Notwithstanding Subcontractor’s compliance with all of the terms of this Subcontract, Work Orders, Subcontractor’s Code of Conduct, etc., Contractor shall still have the right to terminate the Work and this Subcontract at any time upon written notice to Subcontractor.

Article 5

Confidential information furnished by Contractor shall not be disclosed by Subcontractor or any of its employees to any third party without the prior written consent of Contractor except as may be reasonably necessary in the performance of the Work.

Thereupon the obligations of the party giving notice, so far as they are affected by the force majeure, shall be suspended during, but no longer than, the continuance of the force majeure event.
