ARTICLE 3 — SCOPE OF WORK AND SCHEDULE

     3.1 General.

          (a) Contractor will perform the Work identified as Contractor’s responsibility in the Scope of Work ( Exhibit A ) and will perform all other obligations and responsibilities of Contractor as set forth in this Agreement. The Work will be performed in two phases, as more fully described in Sections 3.2 and 3.3 of this Agreement. Contractor agrees to design, engineer, supply, equip, construct and install a complete and fully operational Facility, including the Equipment to be incorporated therein and the Services to be provided in connection therewith.

          (b) If there is a dispute as to whether certain work related to the Facility is within the Contractor’s Scope of Work, then in exigent circumstances Owner shall have the right to require Contractor by written Notice to begin to perform such work and Contractor will be paid on a Time and Materials Basis for such work until the DRB makes a determination as to whether such work or a portion thereof is within the Contractor’s Scope of Work. If there is also no agreement between the Parties on the pricing or the adjustment to the Contract Price in connection with such work, then either Party may also submit to Dispute Resolution the determination of the appropriate pricing or Contract Price change, as applicable, relating to such work. If the DRB determines that such work is within the Contractor’s Scope of Work, then the DRB shall determine whether such work is priced [***], or on a Time and Materials Basis as set forth in Exhibit H . If, however, the DRB determines that such work is outside of Contractor’s Scope of Work, then the DRB shall determine the appropriate adjustment to the Contract Price pursuant to Section 9.4(c) .

     3.2 Phase I.

          (a) The Phase I portion of the Work is described in Section A.1 of Exhibit A . The Parties agree that: (i) all work performed by Stone & Webster and Westinghouse under the [***] and (iii) all work performed by Stone & Webster under [***] shall be considered to be part of the Phase I portion of the Work, and such [***] shall be subsumed by this Agreement as contemplated by this Section 3.2(a) , and the work product associated with [***] listed above that is incorporated into the Work shall be subject to all terms and conditions hereof in lieu of the terms and conditions of such [***], except for:

     (i) matters related to compensation and payment for the work performed under such [***], except as set forth in Section 3.2(d) ;

     (ii) matters concerning quality assurance for work performed under such [***]; and

     (iii) any commercial issues or disputes that arose prior to the Effective Date.

          (b) Contractor has performed all Phase I Work as necessary to allow Owner to submit a COLA for two (2) AP1000 Nuclear Power Plants (submitted by Owner on July 30, 2008). Contractor shall support NRC review, approval and issuance of the COL. Contractor shall substantially complete the detailed design specifications and construction level engineering with respect to the power block prior to the placing of first safety related concrete for the power block. Contractor shall substantially complete the detailed design specifications and construction level engineering with respect to the other structures prior to the commencement of construction on the applicable structure. Contractor shall complete such design and engineering as necessary to support the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date for each Unit.

          (c) The Parties intend to rely on the results of services Westinghouse is performing under the NuStart/Westinghouse Restructured Award Agreement by and between NuStart and Westinghouse effective April 1, 2007 (the “ Restructured Award Agreement ”) as part of the DOE’s Nuclear Power 2010 program (the “ NuStart Work ”) as the basis for certain design, engineering and technical issues with respect to the Standard Plant. Phase I of the Work is intended only to include work that is outside the scope of work Westinghouse is performing for NuStart or services that Westinghouse will not complete for NuStart on a schedule suitable for Owner’s needs. To the extent NuStart Work is performed pursuant to the Restructured Award Agreement, Owner shall not have an independent obligation to pay for the performance of such NuStart Work. Westinghouse agrees that any and all NuStart Work that is incorporated into the COLA, the Facility, or into the AP1000 Facility Information will be covered by the same warranties, indemnities and grants of licenses and intellectual property rights as are applicable to the Facility and the other AP1000 Facility Information provided under this Agreement.

          (d) All monies paid by Owner to Westinghouse [***] shall be applied to and are shown as payments made against the Contract Price as set forth in Exhibit H . All other [***] shall not be applied to or considered as payments made against the Contract Price.

          (g) Storage . Contractor and Owner will establish delivery dates for the Equipment in the Project Schedule, consistent with the Milestone Performance Schedule and the Milestone Payment Schedule. In the event that such schedules indicate or Owner and Contractor agree that Equipment ordered during Phase I should be delivered prior to Contractor having access to and control of the Site or Nearby Work Areas, Owner shall provide a secure area at the Site or Nearby Work Areas for storage of such Equipment, or shall be responsible for the payment of secure storage of such Equipment at a location other than the Site or Nearby Work Areas. In either circumstance, Contractor shall supply Owner with Maintenance Procedures on how the Equipment is to be stored and maintained, prior to delivery. If Owner elects to store Equipment at a location other than the Site or Nearby Work Areas, Owner shall be responsible to ensure that maintenance requirements are met. Once Contractor assumes control of the Site or Nearby Work Areas, Contractor will become responsible for the storage and related maintenance obligations with respect to the Equipment at the Site or Nearby Work

Areas. The Parties understand and agree that actual deliveries will frequently take place a little before or a little after the date set forth in the Project Schedule. However, if Equipment is delivered prior to the Contractor having access to and control of the Site or Nearby Work Areas and more than [***] prior to the scheduled delivery date for such Equipment, then the Contractor shall be responsible for the additional, incremental storage and maintenance cost incurred by Owner from the date of such delivery until the date [***] prior to the scheduled delivery date.

          (h) Owner Information . Owner shall provide the information described in Exhibit A in accordance with the timing and other requirements set forth therein and in accordance with the provisions of the Project Schedule. If Contractor notifies Owner of a material discrepancy, contradiction or ambiguity within the provisions of this Agreement and the Owner drawings or other Documentation, or between the Owner drawings and the conditions at the Site or Nearby Work Areas, or of any error or omission in the Owner drawings, then Owner shall promptly correct or otherwise resolve any such discrepancy, contradiction or ambiguity and Contractor shall be entitled to request a Change in accordance with Section 9.1 .

     3.7 Subcontracting.

          (a) The Parties have agreed upon the list of approved Major Subcontractors for specified portions of the Work as set forth in Exhibit P-1 . Subject to Section 3.7(b) , Contractor shall have the right to have that portion of the Services identified in Exhibit P-1 performed by any approved Major Subcontractor of Contractor’s choice for such Service, and shall have the right to purchase Equipment identified in Exhibit P-1 from any approved Major Subcontractor of Contractor’s choice for such Equipment, in each case without any further approval from Owner. The approved Major Subcontractor(s) selected by Contractor to perform a specific portion of the Work shall be referred to herein as the “ Preferred Major Subcontractor ” for such portion of the Work.

          (b) In situations where more than one approved Major Subcontractor is identified in Exhibit P-1 for providing a Service or providing specified Equipment, Contractor shall give Owner Notice of Contractor’s Preferred Major Subcontractor at least five (5) Business Days prior to Contractor making a commitment to such Preferred Major Subcontractor. Wherever practical, Contractor shall select Major Subcontractors that supplied (or will supply) Equipment for other Units delivered (or to be delivered) to Owner or Owner’s Affiliates. For Equipment, such Notice shall identify the primary manufacturing facility where the Equipment is to be manufactured or assembled, and shall include relevant quality information. For Services, such Notice shall include known and available information concerning the Preferred Major Subcontractor’s relevant quality information, and with respect to Major Subcontractor’s providing on Site or Nearby Work area Services, known and available information regarding the safety record. Contractor shall also supply any additional information that may be requested by Owner that may be reasonably obtained by Contractor. The selection of any Preferred Major Subcontractor shall be subject to rejection by Owner based upon specific, supportable reasons that are specified by Owner in writing within such five (5) Business Day notice period, or five (5) Business Days after all additional information requested by Owner is supplied by Contractor. If any Preferred Major Subcontractor is rejected

by Owner based on specific, reasons that are specified in writing by Owner within the five (5) Business Day period, Owner and Contractor shall confer as necessary to select a mutually acceptable replacement to the Preferred Major Subcontractor to perform the Work. If Owner rejects a Preferred Major Subcontractor that is nominated by Contractor, then Contractor shall be entitled to a Change under the provisions of Article 9 with respect to any additional costs or other impacts attributable to replacing the Preferred Major Subcontractor; provided, however, if using the Preferred Major Subcontractor selected by Contractor from the approved Major Subcontractor list would have constituted or caused a material impairment to the safety or quality of the Facility or would have resulted in a breach of Contractor’s obligations under this Agreement, then no Change Order shall be issued in connection with such replacement.

          (c) The Parties acknowledge that maintaining the standardization of the AP1000 Nuclear Power Plant is important for cost, schedule and implementation efficiencies from which all Parties benefit, and these considerations may lead Contractor to propose that it select alternative Major Subcontractors for the supply of Equipment or Services to those listed in Exhibit P-1 . If Contractor desires to engage any such alternative Major Subcontractor that is not identified in Exhibit P-1 to perform Services or provide Equipment identified in Exhibit P-1 , then, before Contractor enters into any contract with, or otherwise engages, such alternative Major Subcontractor to perform such Services or provide such Equipment, Contractor shall deliver to Owner (i) the name of the alternative Major Subcontractor that Contractor proposes to use in the performance of such Services or purchase of such Equipment, (ii) a statement of the reasons why it is preferable to use the requested alternative Major Subcontractor rather than an applicable approved Major Subcontractor, and (iii) a statement of the estimated impact, if any, on [***]Work. Such alternative Major Subcontractor shall be subject to the prior written approval of Owner, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In determining whether to approve such Major Subcontractor, Owner shall take into consideration among other factors the following: the capability of the proposed alternative Major Subcontractor to perform the Work in accordance herewith and the need to maintain the standardization of the AP1000 Nuclear Power Plant and consistency of Equipment between Units at the Facility as well as Units at Affiliate sites, and the estimated impact on the [***]. [***].

          (d) Any Work that is to be performed at the Site and/or Nearby Work Areas using Subcontractors other than approved Major Subcontractors shall, to the extent commercially reasonable, be performed using Subcontractors on the list of EPC Subcontractors for Site and Nearby Work Areas Construction and Related Field Services that is set forth in Exhibit P-2 (the “ Site Subcontractor List ”). Contractor and Owner agree that the Site Subcontractor List may be modified from time to time by mutual agreement of the Project Directors based on the experience of both Parties. The Parties shall endeavor to add local contractors to Exhibit P-2 who are capable of performing Work in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. Contractor may also use Subcontractors that are not on the Site Subcontractor List on an emergency basis, provided that none of the Subcontractors on the Site Subcontractor List are qualified and available to perform the Work in a timely manner, and provided that Contractor exercises reasonable efforts to consult with Owner prior to entering into the Subcontract. If Owner removes a Subcontractor from the Site Subcontractor List, and such deletion adversely affects Contractor or another Subcontractor’s ability to perform the Work, increases the cost of the Work, or otherwise negatively affects Contractor’s obligations under this Agreement, then Contractor shall be entitled to a Change in accordance with the

provisions of Article 9 ; provided, however, if using the Subcontractor previously listed on the Site Subcontractor List would have constituted or caused a safety or other breach of Contractor’s obligations or covenants under this Agreement, then no Change Order shall be issued in connection with such removal.

          (e) Contractor shall include in its Subcontracts those provisions and covenants that in Contractor’s reasonable judgment would be appropriate and useful to have as express Subcontractor obligations, consistent with Contractor’s obligations under this Agreement, including the right of Owner to require the assignment of Contractor’s rights and obligations under such Subcontracts to Owner without the prior consent of the Subcontractors as provided for in Sections 22.2(c), 22.3(c), 22.4(e) and 22.7(a)(ii) . If a Subcontractor does not agree to include in its Subcontract such an assignment provision, Contractor shall promptly notify Owner, and where commercially reasonable Contractor shall support Owner’s efforts to obtain such Subcontractor’s agreement to such assignment provision. Contractor shall continue to be responsible for performance of the Work in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. It is understood that the subcontracts that Contractor will have with ABB Ltd. and Emerson Process Management for the supply of instrumentation and control related Equipment shall not be directly assignable to Owner in the event of termination of this Agreement.

          (f) No contractual relationship shall exist between Owner and any Subcontractor with respect to any of the Work. Contractor shall not be relieved from any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement because of the acts, omissions, failures or faults of the Subcontractors nor shall Contractor be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder because of its hiring Subcontractors to perform portions of the Work.

          (g) Contractor shall take commercially reasonable efforts to enter into subcontracts with Major Subcontractors that are terminable for convenience, and that any related termination fees thereunder are (a) commercially reasonable in light of the value of the Services or Equipment provided at the time and when the termination fee applies, and (b) do not include any payment for damages, injuries or claims of the type disclaimed in Section 17.1 .

     3.8 Design and Engineering.

          (a) Design Documentation for Standard Plant . The NuStart Work has been and will continue to be subject to the review and comment process set forth in the NuStart agreements. For documents that have not already been finalized pursuant to the Parties’ prior efforts as a part of the NuStart Work, Contractor shall continue to submit to Owner via the NuStart Engineering Committee for their review and comment the remaining AP1000 Facility Information for the Standard Plant (the “ Standard Plant Design Documentation ”). Owner shall complete its review of, and provide any comments via the NuStart Engineering Committee to Contractor with respect to, the Standard Plant Design Documentation within thirty (30) Days of receiving such Standard Plant Design Documentation from Contractor or such longer period of time as mutually agreed. Owner shall submit any comments or changes that are unique to its Facility which it may have, arising out of regulatory requirements associated with the Facility and its COL, directly to Contractor; provided, that if such change increases Contractor’s costs or impacts the Milestone Performance Schedule or the Incentive Program Milestone Dates, Contractor shall be entitled to a Change Order under Article 9 . It is the intent of the Parties to

preserve the design for the Standard Plant, including the approach to the supply chain, construction, licensing, operation and maintenance of the Standard Plant to the greatest extent practical. Accordingly, Contractor will give due consideration to the comments of the NuStart Engineering Committee to the Standard Plant Design Documentation and, to the extent consistent with such intent to preserve the standardization of the AP1000 Nuclear Power Plant, shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of any changes suggested by such comments. If Contractor revises any Standard Plant Design Documentation, Contractor shall resubmit it for review and input in accordance herewith, provided that the period of review for the first or any subsequent re-submittal shall be no more than fifteen (15) Days or such other number of Days as may be agreed to by the Parties taking into account the complexity of the resubmission, the criticality of the schedule and the volume of submissions under review. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor shall not be required to change the certified design of the Standard Plant or any documents submitted with the COL, except to the extent required by differences in applicable Laws, the COL, or specific Site and/or Nearby Work Area related requirements provided, that if such change increases Contractor’s costs or impacts the Milestone Performance Schedule or the Incentive Program Milestone Dates, Contractor shall be entitled to a Change Order under Article 9 .

          (b) Design Documentation for Non-Standard Plant . Contractor shall submit to Owner for its review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) AP1000 Facility Information for portions of the Facility that are not part of the Standard Plant (the “ Non-Standard Plant Design Documentation ”) consisting of plant layout drawings, design criteria, general arrangement drawings, P&IDs, design specifications, system specification documents (or equivalent) and electrical one line drawings. AP1000 Facility Information shall be provided either in electronic form or in such other form as mutually agreed, consistent with customary practices for power plant construction projects. When required by the Owner, Contractor shall transmit to Owner, technical submittals, shop drawings, including supporting catalog cuts, samples, manufacturer’s literature, sketches or drawings, calculations and other pertinent data, in sufficient detail to enable Owner to review the information and determine that Contractor clearly understands the requirements of the Agreement. Owner shall complete its review of, and provide any comments to Contractor with respect to, the Non-Standard Plant Design Documentation within thirty (30) Days of receiving such Non-Standard Plant Design Documentation from Contractor. Other AP1000 Facility Non-Standard Plant Design Documentation will be submitted to Owner for its use and records. In each instance where any Non-Standard Plant Design Documentation fails to comply with the applicable requirements of this Agreement, (including where a re-submittal fails to comply), Contractor shall correct such Non-Standard Plant Design Documentation and shall resubmit it for Owner’s review in accordance herewith, provided that Owner’s period of review for such re-submittal shall be no more than fifteen (15) Days or such other number of Days as may be agreed to by the Parties taking into account the complexity of the resubmission, the criticality of the schedule and the volume of submissions under review.

          (c) Review Processes and Design Changes . To the extent the review process described in Section 3.8(a) or (b) above results in a change to the design that is not a change caused by a Contractor error or deficiency in the design of the Facility, or other noncompliance with the requirements of this Agreement, Contractor or Owner (as applicable) shall be entitled to a Change Order with respect to the impacts of such delay or design change.

          (d) Responsibility for Errors . Any review by Owner of any AP1000 Facility Information shall not relieve Contractor from any obligation or responsibility under this Agreement. If errors, omissions, ambiguities, inconsistencies, inadequacies or other defects are found in the AP1000 Facility Information, they and the related Work shall be corrected at Contractor’s cost, unless (i) such Work is performed on a Target Price Basis under this Agreement or (ii) such Work is performed on a Time and Materials Basis under this Agreement, in which case such correction shall be performed on a Time and Materials Basis without any profit component included therein. Performance of design, engineering, procurement or fabrication Work by Contractor prior to Owner review and approval of the associated drawings, Specifications and documentation for which Owner has review and approval rights, shall be at Contractor’s own risk.

          (e) Units of Measure . Where metric units are used to describe important dimensions or calculation results, American unit equivalents will also be included.

          (f) As-Built Drawings . Prior to Final Completion of the Facility, Contractor shall supply Owner with “as-built” drawings for the portions of the Facility constructed or installed by Contractor.

     3.9 Project Controls.

          (a) Contractor shall provide a “full time” Site-based staff within [***] following mobilization to the Site through Substantial Completion. The Contractor’s staff shall be responsible for all project control activities, including without limitation, project management, scheduling, cost reporting, quantity tracking, and Change Order management. Contractor shall select only those persons who are qualified by the necessary education, training, licensing and experience to provide a high quality performance of the project control activities.

Except as otherwise provided herein, Owner shall be responsible for obtaining, maintaining and paying for Owner Permits (including the COL) and for all communications with any Government Authorities regarding Owner Permits. Contractor shall provide support to Owner in connection with approvals of Owner Permits, or any proceedings before the Florida Public Service Commission, including making personnel available to testify at formal and informal government proceedings, and providing such documents and information reasonably requested by Owner, including review and comment to sections prepared by others, and any amendments thereto, to address formal questions from any Government Authority on a schedule that supports the Project Schedule and licensing support services. [***] in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. Owner shall provide as much advance notice as practical for the testimony of Contractor’s Personnel at proceedings before Government Authorities. For the avoidance of doubt, Contractor shall be responsible for performing its obligations under this Agreement, but provides no guarantee that the COL or any other Owner’s Permit required to be obtained by Owner will be obtained by Owner. The Milestone Performance Schedule is based on the COL being obtained by January 1, 2012 and that the deep excavation work, diaphragm wall and pressure grouting can proceed prior to the issuance of the COL in accordance with the Milestone Performance Schedule. Other Owner Permits shall be obtained in time to support the Project Schedule.

     4.2 Contractor Permits. Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining, maintaining, paying for and complying in its performance of the Work with the Contractor Permits. Owner shall provide Contractor reasonable cooperation and assistance in obtaining and maintaining Contractor Permits. Contractor shall communicate with Owner as to what permits it will be obtaining in advance of application therefore so that communications with the Government Authority that will issue the permits can be coordinated. Contractor agrees not to obtain permits on Owner’s behalf or for the Facility without the prior concurrence of Owner. Contractor agrees

to immediately notify Owner’s Project Director of any violation of any Contractor Permits that it becomes aware of, and agrees to keep Owner’s Project Director informed as to any remedial actions that are to be taken by Contractor.

     4.3 ITAACs.

          (a) Contractor shall be responsible for those ITAACs that are set forth in the Design Control Document that are designated in the Exhibit A Scope of Work as being the responsibility of Contractor (the “ Base ITAAC ”). Any new or additional ITAAC, or any changes or modification to any ITAAC as delineated in the Design Control Document shall either be the responsibility of Owner or shall be added to Contractor’s Scope of Work pursuant to a Change Order in accordance with Article 9 . Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, modifications to any Base ITAAC or any additional ITAAC that should logically be added to Contractor’s Scope of Work shall be added to Contractor’s Scope of Work pursuant to a Change Order in accordance with the provisions of Article 9 , and following such ITAAC addition shall be considered a Base ITAAC for all purposes under this Agreement.

          (b) Contractor shall be responsible for conducting, or causing to be conducted the inspections, tests and analyses associated with each Base ITAAC. Upon completion of such inspections, tests and analyses, Contractor shall be responsible for preparing and delivering to Owner the Documentation or other deliverables to demonstrate and confirm that the related acceptance criteria associated with each Base ITAAC has been met. All such Documentation shall be maintained by Contractor through Final Completion and shall be readily retrievable within a reasonable time upon request by Owner. If upon completion of the relevant inspections, tests and analyses the Unit fails to satisfy any Base ITAAC requirements, then Contractor shall be responsible to perform the Work that may be necessary for the Facility to satisfy such Base ITAAC requirements at Contractor’s cost. Contractor shall perform such remedial Work such that the Facility shall satisfy the failed Base ITAAC requirements within [***] of the failure, or within a reasonable time after [***] if such Work is being prosecuted diligently, but cannot reasonably be completed with [***]. No failure of Contractor to satisfy any Base ITAAC requirement shall be considered an event of Force Majeure, or entitle Contractor to seek a Change Order under Section 9.1, unless a cause of the failure qualifies as grounds for a Change Order under Article 9 .

          (c) For ITAACs that are not within Contractor’s responsibility, Contractor agrees to promptly supply the information or assistance that is reasonably requested by Owner, and Owner will pay Contractor for such information or assistance on a Time and Materials Basis.

SAFEGUARDS INFORMATION

     5.1 Quality Assurance Program.

          (a) Contractor has sole responsibility for the quality assurance and quality control of the Work, including the Work performed by its Subcontractors. Contractor has provided to Owner the Quality Assurance Program either in hard copy or electronically via

access to the deliverable AP1000 Facility Information. The “ Quality Assurance Program ” means collectively, the Westinghouse Quality Management System (“ QMS ”) and the Shaw Stone & Webster Standard Nuclear Quality Assurance Program (“ SWSQAP ”) each of which has been approved by the NRC. The Quality Assurance Program and any changes thereto shall meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B and ASME NQA-1–1994, and be accepted by the NRC and Owner. The Quality Assurance Program is subject to review and audit for compliance to 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B and ASME NQA-1–1994 by Owner. These audits and annual evaluations performed by Owner shall be the basis for Acceptance by Owner. Contractor, with input from Owner, has put together the project specific clarifications and modifications with respect to the Quality Assurance Program and has set forth such items in the Project Quality Assurance Program Interface Plan (“ PQAPIP ”). The Quality Assurance Program and the PQAPIP will collectively be the “ Project Quality Assurance Program ” or “ PQAP ”. Owner’s review and Acceptance of the PQAP shall not relieve Contractor from its obligations to comply with the requirements of this Agreement and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B.

          (b) Contractor will provide Owner with five (5) controlled copies of the PQAPIP and Quality Assurance Program or make it available electronically as part of the deliverable AP1000 Facility Information. Contractor will follow the PQAP throughout its performance of the Work. The PQAP and associated policies and procedures shall address the Work in a manner consistent with its classification with respect to importance to nuclear safety (i.e., safety related, significant contributor to plant safety, non-safety related) as classified in the DCD and subsequently the COL. In addition, the PQAP shall address commercially critical items in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3 .

          (c) Contractor shall be entitled to a Change with respect to the cost and expense of updating the PQAP on an on-going basis to reflect any changes in ASME NQA-1 or NRC requirements or other regulatory changes or changes related to the issuance of the COL that occur after the Effective Date unless there is no incremental cost or other impact with respect to the Work associated with the Facility that occurs because of such regulatory change. If Contractor is entitled to one or more Changes under this Section 5.1 , then the provisions of Section 9.1(d) regarding possible cost sharing among other AP1000 Nuclear Power Plant customers will be applicable to the extent that such Change and the basis therefore meet the requirements of such Section. The PQAP shall support Owner’s compliance with 10 C.F.R. Part 50 Appendix B and shall be subject to review and audit by Owner at its request. For purposes of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code, Contractor shall be designated as Owner’s agent.

     5.2 Augmented Quality Controls for Non-Safety Related Structures, Systems and Components. For non-safety related structures, systems and components that are significant contributors to plant safety and for associated Services, Contractor shall implement quality assurance requirements consistent with their design classification in the AP1000 Design Certification and Section 17.5.II.V of NUREG-0800 (March 2007).

     5.3 Augmented Quality Controls for Commercially Critical Items. For other non-safety related items and services that are listed on Exhibit CC , Contractor shall implement quality assurance controls to the extent necessary to assure the quality of the items or services

being supplied, consistent with Good Industry Practices. Contractor will provide Owner a copy of the program description for implementing the quality assurance controls for Owner’s review and Acceptance.

     5.4 Subcontractor Quality Assurance. In accordance with the PQAP, Contractor shall also require Subcontractors performing Work within the scope of 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B or which provide materials, services or both that are nuclear safety related or which perform Work governed by the augmented quality controls referred to in Section 5.2 or 5.3 , to establish, implement and maintain appropriate quality assurance programs at each location where Work is being performed (which may either be the PQAP or another quality assurance program capable of being audited to the PQAP requirements for the scope of supply), consistent with the nuclear safety quality classification of their portion of the Work. Contractor shall be responsible for the performance by Subcontractors of Work within the scope of the PQAP, 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B (the “ Appendix B Subcontractors ”) or the applicable augmented quality controls referred to in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 hereof. Appendix B Subcontractors’ audit reports shall be made available for review by Owner or its designee. At its own cost, Owner or its representative may participate in scheduled audits of Subcontractors performed by Contractor. Contractor will quarterly provide Owner a list of the upcoming Contractor scheduled audits of the Appendix B Subcontractors and audits of the Subcontractors listed on Exhibit P-1 , and Owner may designate which of such audits it would like to attend. Following Contractor’s receipt of notice that Owner intends to attend an audit, Contractor will keep Owner informed of any material changes to the time, location or substance of such audit. Where required by Law, and for the commercially critical items listed in Exhibit CC , Contractor shall include in the applicable Subcontracts access rights at each tier of a procurement, so that the procurement documents provide for access to the applicable Subcontractors’ plant facilities and records for inspection or audit by Owner, its designated representative, and/or other Persons authorized by the Parties. To the extent practical, Owner will coordinate with Contractor in the exercise of such inspection and audit rights so that Contractor has notice of Owner’s exercise of such right and has an opportunity to be present during such inspection or audit.

     5.5 Contractor Quality Control and Inspection Activities. Contractor shall be responsible to perform the quality control and inspection activities and to create legible Documentation in accordance with the PQAP. The quality control and inspection activities will be consistent with the nuclear safety quality classification of the Work under evaluation. The Persons performing quality assurance or quality control functions for Contractor shall have sufficient authority and organizational freedom to identify quality problems; to initiate, recommend or provide solutions; and to verify implementation of solutions. Such Persons performing quality assurance or quality control functions shall report to a management level such that this required authority and organizational freedom, including sufficient independence from cost and schedule when contrary to safety considerations, is provided.

     5.6 Access and Auditing On-Site and Other Facilities.

          (a) Contractor shall provide Owner and Owner designated Persons with access to the Work at the Site and Nearby Work Areas when Work is being performed and to portions of Contractor’s premises and working facilities where Work is being performed, and with pertinent Documentation and other necessary information and assistance relating to the

Work, for auditing of activities for conformance with the requirements of this Agreement and the PQAP. Such audits shall be coordinated with Contractor so that Contractor has reasonable prior notice of such audit and has an opportunity to be present during such audit. Contractor shall include in its Subcontracts with (i) Major Subcontractors and (ii) Appendix B Subcontractors a provision granting the access inspection and audit rights required by ASME NQA1-1994 by Owner and Owner Designated Persons at Major Subcontractors’ and Appendix B Subcontractors’ premises and working facilities and shall require such Subcontractors to include such rights in their contracts with Major Subcontractors and Appendix B Subcontractors. This right of access to the Site, Nearby Work Areas and Contractor’s, Major Subcontractors’, and Appendix B Subcontractors’ other facilities extends to representatives of the NRC and other Owner Designated Persons for the purpose of performing quality assurance and quality control activities. Quality assurance and quality control activities at Major Subcontractors’ and Appendix B Subcontractors’ premises and working facilities under this Agreement are defined as participation in scheduled audits, and execution of Owner Witness and Hold Points, such as in-process testing and final product review for Acceptance. In cases where Contractor incurs additional cost from Subcontractors due to Owner’s request to perform additional quality assurance and quality control activities beyond these activities, Contractor shall be entitled to a Change Order in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article 9 .

          (b) Quality assurance and quality control inspections and audits of Major Subcontractors and Appendix B Subcontractors includes activities necessary to address quality issues which may arise at the supplier and sub-supplier level. Contractor shall implement, and require its (i) Major Subcontractors and (ii) Appendix B Subcontractors to implement, measures necessary to be taken to ensure compliance with this Agreement where such measures are identified as a result of a quality assurance audit or surveillance carried out by Owner or Owner’s designees.

          (c) The rights of access described in this Section 5.6 are subject to: (i) reasonable restrictions which may be identified by Contractor or a Subcontractor related to access to proprietary information, (ii) restrictions for reasons of national security and restrictions of access by foreign (non-U.S.) nationals, and (iii) additional costs for access beyond scheduled audits and participation in Owner Witness and Hold Points. If it is determined that the Work is not being done in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement or there is a pattern of non-conformances materially exceeding industry norms, Owner shall not be liable for the cost and schedule impacts, if any, related to such additional audits and Contractor shall not be entitled to a Change Order with respect thereto.

     5.7 Owner Designated Persons. Throughout this Article 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, Owner is granted the rights, either directly or through Owner designees, Owner authorized Persons and/or Owner’s agents or representatives (collectively, the “ Owner Designated Persons ”), to audit, inspect or witness the Work, related facilities, policies and procedures. Owner covenants it will give reasonable prior notice to Contractor of the identity of Owner Designated Persons. Owner also agrees to exercise reasonable efforts to designate, employ, authorize or appoint Owner Designated Persons that are not Persons whose involvement would pose a significant confidentiality or intellectual property security risk to the Work or Contractor. To the extent that any of Contractor’s competitors are granted access to the Work or related facilities or information, such access will be subject to reasonable restrictions and

limitations as specified by Contractor. The confidentiality and other obligations with respect to Owner and its actions in connection with this Agreement shall be applicable to the Owner Designated Persons and Owner shall be responsible for the breach of such obligations by Owner Designated Persons.

     5.8 Additional Access and Auditing Requirements. Quality assurance, quality control and other audit or inspection activities initiated by Owner, other than those permitted under Section 5.6 , shall be accommodated by Contractor to the extent practical. Any such additional quality assurance, quality control and inspection activities requested by Owner under this Section 5.8 shall be the basis for a Change under Article 9 , unless it is determined that the Work is not being done in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement or there is a pattern of non-conformances materially exceeding industry norms.

     5.9 Owner Witness and Hold Points.

          (a) Following the selection of a specific Subcontractor for the components identified in Exhibit Q , Contractor shall include Owner Witness and Hold Points identified in Exhibit Q in the respective manufacturing and fabrication plans for such components. Contractor shall provide Owner access to or copies of the applicable manufacturing and fabrication schedules and regular updates to these schedules, such that Owner has advance notice of approaching scheduled Owner Witness and Hold Points. Owner shall be notified in writing by Contractor of Owner Witness and Hold Points at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the scheduled activity. Owner may designate additional Owner Witness Points and/or Owner Hold Points. To the extent the aggregate amount of the Owner Witness Points or Owner Hold Points exceeds the base line for the Owner Witness and Hold Points, there shall be an adjustment to the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement through the Change Order process as set forth in Article 9 .

          (b) If Contractor proceeds with the Work without giving Owner the ten (10) Business Day written notice in accordance with Section 5.9(a) above, then Contractor shall uncover the Work and accommodate the Owner Witness or Hold Point inspection and testing at Contractor’s expense as provided in Section 5.10 , unless waived in writing by Owner.

          (c) Work may proceed beyond Owner Witness Points, in the absence of Owner or its designee attending the specified inspection or surveillance provided that Contractor gave the required ten (10) Business Day notice in accordance with Section 5.9(a) above. Work may not proceed beyond an Owner Hold Point without a written waiver from Owner, provided that if Owner has been notified of the scheduled Owner Hold Point at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such Owner Hold Point in accordance with the terms of Section 5.9(a) above, then delays incurred by Contractor as a result of Owner’s failure to attend an Owner Hold Point shall entitle Contractor to a Change Order subject to the requirements of Article 9 . If the ten (10) Business Day notice was given in accordance with the terms of Section 5.9(a) above, then requests by Owner to witness tests or conduct surveillance after the scheduled point in time designated for an Owner Witness Point shall be accommodated by Contractor only if technically feasible and shall entitle Contractor to a Change Order in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article 9 .

          (d) Witnessing of tests or other surveillance by Owner shall be at Owner’s expense. If Owner performs the surveillance or elects not to perform a surveillance, such surveillance or waiver will not relieve Contractor of its obligations under this Agreement.

     5.10 Uncovering of Work; Re-performance of Inspection and Testing. In the event Owner requests in writing that any Work be uncovered to determine whether such Work is deficient, Contractor shall uncover the Work as requested and shall reperform any tests or inspection as required by Owner. Contractor shall be entitled to a Change Order unless the uncovering of Work is required pursuant to Section 5.9(b) , or the Work is found to be deficient; provided, that if Owner unreasonably delays delivery of its request to uncover the Work then Contractor shall be entitled to a Change Order with respect to the additional cost and/or schedule impacts caused by Owner’s delay. Work is deficient or nonconforming unless the applicable Documentation is complete, accurate and reflects the Work performed in accordance with Good Industry Practices and the PQAP. If the Work is found to be deficient or nonconforming, Contractor shall address such deficiency or nonconformance pursuant to Section 5.11(c) at Contractor’s cost. During the Warranty Period, the provisions of Article 14 shall apply to any Work that does not conform to the Warranties.

     5.11 Reporting of Defects and Non-compliance; 10 CFR 21.

          (a) Contractor shall comply and shall require its Subcontractors to comply with the provisions of 10 CFR Part 21, “Reporting of Defects and Noncompliance,” in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

Contractor shall comply with the posting requirements of 10 CFR § 21.6 at the Site.

          (b) Contractor shall permit the NRC to inspect records, premises, activities and basic components as necessary to accomplish the purposes of 10 CFR Part 21, including permitting the NRC the opportunity to inspect records pertaining to basic components that relate to the identification and evaluation of deviations, and the reporting of defects and failures to comply, including any advice given to purchasers or licensees on the placement, erection, installation, operation, maintenance, modification, or inspection of a basic component. Contractor shall provide Owner with copies of all notices and other Documentation that Contractor discloses to the NRC related to the Work concurrently with such disclosure to the NRC, including those disclosed pursuant to 10 CFR Part 21 and 10 CFR Part 50.55(e) and (f).

          (c) Work that does not conform to specified requirements hereunder shall be subject to controls implemented by Contractor to prevent installation or use of such nonconforming Work. Such controls shall provide for Contractor’s identification, documentation, evaluation, segregation when practical and disposition of such nonconforming Work. Nonconformance to contract requirements or Owner approved documents, where the proposed disposition is repair or use-as-is shall be submitted to Owner for review and approval. Nonconformances submitted for Owner’s approval shall include Contractor-recommended disposition and technical justification. Disposition of nonconforming Work may include rework, use-as-is, repair or reject, and/or scrap. Repaired Work shall be re-inspected to verify conformance with the requirements specified by the disposition, and re-performed Work shall be re-inspected to verify conformance with the original, specified requirements hereunder.

     5.12 Calibrations with respect to Non-Safety Items. Measuring and test equipment (“ M&TE ”) used to determine conformance to specified requirements or to develop design criteria, shall be calibrated or verified, as necessary to assure the capability and accuracy of the M&TE.

[***].

     8.3 Supporting Documentation; Payment Disputes.

          (a) Contractor shall submit invoices in an agreed format. Contractor may designate in the invoices that the amounts owed shall be paid in specified amounts to designated accounts; provided, that [***] If Toshiba’s Senior Unsecured Credit Rating falls below BBB- or Baa3 from S&P and Moody’s respectively or if Shaw’s Credit Rating falls below BBB- or Baa3 from S&P and Moody’s respectively, then Contractor shall monthly for so long as the applicable credit ratings remain below such thresholds provide to Owner interim lien waivers substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit T-1 executed by the Subcontractors who have provided invoices that are due and payable in an aggregate amount of goods and services in excess of [***]. Contractor shall make available such documentation and materials as Owner may reasonably require substantiating Contractor’s right to payment of any invoice. Milestone Payment invoices shall clearly indicate the Payment Milestone which has been completed in connection with such invoice. Invoices for Work performed by non-craft personnel on a Time and Materials Basis or Target Price Basis shall show each employee’s name, classification, hours worked, task performed and applicable rate of compensation to Contractor. Invoices for any Work performed by craft personnel on a Time and Materials Basis or a Target Price Basis shall indicate tasks performed and shall show each employee’s name, classification, hours worked, applicable rate of compensation to Contractor, and rate paid by Contractor to Contractor’s employees. Prior to the time that the number of Contractor

Personnel working at the Site and Nearby Work Areas exceeds an average of one hundred (100) workers for any consecutive four (4) week period, Contractor shall utilize a either a manual or electronic “brassing” system to track entry and exit of its Personnel at the Site and Nearby Work Areas for performance of the Work, and provide electronic timesheet data to Owner for uploading into Owner’s electronic timekeeping system. Once the average number of Contractor Personnel reaches one hundred (100) or more workers during four (4) consecutive weeks, Contractor shall implement an electronic “brassing” or access control system to track which Contractor Personnel are on the Site and Nearby Work Areas performing Work. Such electronic “brassing” system shall feed the tracking employee information into Contractor’s electronic timekeeping system. Contractor shall also ensure that it provides electronic timesheet data to Owner for uploading into Owner’s electronic timekeeping system. In the event that Contractor’s “brassing” system is not functional, Contractor may provide Owner an alternate basis for the verification, reasonably acceptable to Owner, of the quantity of workers located on the Site and Nearby Work Areas. In the event that Contractor does not provide such an alternate basis for verification, reasonably acceptable to Owner, Contractor shall provide Owner with access in order to conduct an audit to verify that the electronic timesheet data regarding on-site labor corresponds to the quantity of workers located on the Site and Nearby Work Areas. If Owner is entitled to conduct such an audit pursuant to the foregoing, Owner’s payment obligations under Section 8.1(c) shall be extended by no more than three (3) additional Business Days after the original due date of the applicable payment required under Section 8.1(c) in order to provide Owner adequate time to perform such audit prior to making such payment. [***]. Bills of lading, and handling or shipping receipts for Equipment and materials shall be attached, as applicable, to any invoice requesting payment for such Equipment and materials. When transportation is prepaid, transportation receipts must also be attached to the invoices.

On-site labor, material and equipment costs, and freight charges must appear separately on the invoice. Any Tax paid on material or Equipment must be shown separately from the sale or rental price of those items.

          (b) Payments and invoices will include tax information as required by Article 26 .

          (c) If any invoice is deficient in any material respect, Contractor may be required by Owner to resubmit that invoice in proper form; provided, however, that Owner shall pay any portion of the invoice that is not deficient or subject to dispute, and shall pay any disputed amount to the extent required by Section 8.3(d) . Owner shall review each invoice and shall identify exceptions, if any, by providing Contractor with written notice stating the basis for such exceptions on or before the due date, to the extent any exceptions are discovered prior to the due date.

          (d) Payment shall not waive Owner’s right to dispute an invoice. Any amount of an invoice that Owner disputes shall be resolved in accordance with Article 27 .

     (i) Should a payment dispute not be settled within ten (10) Days of the due date, Owner shall pay the disputed amount including, without limitation, amounts disputed with respect to a Change, except Owner may [***].

     (ii) Once the dispute is resolved, Owner shall pay any additional amount due or Contractor shall refund any amount by which it was overpaid, as applicable, within five (5) Business Days after the date of the final resolution, together with interest at a rate equal to the [***] per annum, applied from the original due date of the payment until paid, or in the case of any overpayment, from the date paid until refunded by Contractor.

          (e) If Owner fails to pay Contractor undisputed sums due and owing by the due date or, fails to pay the required portion of any disputed amounts by the date required as set forth in Section 8.3(d)(i) above, Contractor shall notify Owner of the overdue payment, and a late payment charge shall accrue at a rate equal to the [***] per annum from the due date; provided, that with respect to weekly payments owed in accordance with Section 8.1(c) , no interest will accrue under this Section 8.3(e) for the first [***] a payment is late unless there have been two or more other late payments during the [***] period prior to the due date.

     8.4 [***]

     8.5 No Acceptance by Payment. Owner’s payment of any invoice does not constitute approval or acceptance of any Work, item or cost in that invoice, nor shall payment constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies, and shall not be construed to relieve Contractor of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

     8.6 Security for Payments from Contractor. As a material inducement for Owner to enter into this Agreement, Westinghouse agrees to supply to Owner a Parent Company Guarantee from Toshiba, and Stone & Webster agrees to supply to Owner a Parent Company Guarantee from Shaw, in the forms set forth as Exhibit W-1 and Exhibit W-2 as applicable. Each Parent Company Guarantee shall be signed by an officer of Toshiba and Shaw, respectively, and shall be delivered to Owner on the Effective Date. The Parent Company Guarantee by Toshiba and by Shaw shall each be accompanied by a certificate of incumbency signed by the Secretary (or equivalent) of Toshiba and Shaw, respectively, certifying that the person signing each Parent Company Guarantee is fully authorized to sign the guarantee on behalf of Toshiba and Shaw.

     8.7 Manner of Payment. All payments due under this Agreement shall be paid by electronic transfer to the accounts specified in a Notice from Contractor.

     8.8 Cash Flow Accruals. The Contractor shall provide monthly accruals to the Owner by no later than noon on the last Business Day of the month. The accruals will reflect (a) the estimated cost of Work that will be completed during that month, which are to be reflected on the invoices issued during the next month, and (b) the estimated total amount for Work that will be invoiced, due, and payable by the end of the then current Year. The accruals shall reflect the estimated project and task totals in a manner consistent with the pricing in this Agreement, identifying separately the price of Equipment, labor and miscellaneous expenses.

     8.9 Work Completed Accruals. No later than noon on the last Business Day prior to the end of each Year, Contractor shall supply to Owner an estimate of the percentage of completion of Work being performed [***] and the corresponding dollar value for such completed Work, including Major Components and major modules that are being manufactured, fabricated or assembled on or off the Site or Nearby Work Areas.

     8.10 Cash Flow Covenant. The Contractor shall work with Owner and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to optimize Owner’s cash flow in order to reduce Owner’s financing costs for the Work; provided, however, that in no event shall Contractor be required to make any changes or modifications that adversely impact Contractor’s cost, cash flow, demonstrated risk or the execution of the Work unless the Parties mutually agree to a Change Order pursuant to Article 9 prior to implementing such changes or modifications to Owner’s cash flow. The Parties will evaluate potential impacts to cost and schedule in conjunction with proposed changes to the cash flow.

The NSSS Thermal Performance Test shall be run during a period of continuous operation of [***]. Such test shall be satisfactorily completed when the Unit has operated for such continuous period. The measurement frequency shall be, at a minimum, every sixty (60) minutes throughout the NSSS Thermal Performance Test. If during the conducting of the NSSS Thermal Performance Test, the Net Unit Electrical Output, as determined based on a rolling four (4) hour average measured at one hour intervals [***], not due to any action or inaction by Owner or its Personnel, or an event of Force Majeure, then such [***] test shall be re-started once the Net Unit Electrical Output returns to a value [***]. If, however, during the conducting of the NSSS Thermal Performance Test, the Net Unit Electrical Output is [***] due to any action or inaction by Owner, its Personnel, or an event of Force Majeure or if there is a delay in conducting the NSSS Thermal Performance Test that is due to any action or inaction by Owner, its Personnel, or an event of Force Majeure, the hours of continuous operation performed prior to such reduction or delay shall be credited toward the period of [***] of continuous operation once the NSSS Thermal Performance Test is resumed. [***]. If the cumulative delays in conducting the NSSS Thermal Performance Test or cumulative time periods of reductions in Net Unit Electrical Output [***] during the conducting of the NSSS Thermal Performance Test that are due to any action or inaction by Owner, its Personnel or an event of Force Majeure exceed [***] and the Unit has demonstrated the capability of operating at a Net Unit Electrical Output [***] during the Start-up Tests and any partially completed NSSS Performance Test, then Contractor shall be entitled to receive the Milestone Payment that would be due for achieving Substantial Completion and the Warranty Periods associated with Substantial Completion shall commence, provided that the other requirements of Substantial Completion which are not related to the NSSS Thermal Performance Test have been met. Such a payment shall not waive or affect any of the other obligations of Contractor under this Agreement including the obligation to complete the NSSS Thermal Performance Test. In this circumstance once the reasons for such delays or reductions in power have been resolved, if requested by Owner, Contractor shall support Owner in conducting or completing the NSSS Thermal Performance Test.

          (l) Allowable Contractor Actions to Correct Performance Deficiencies. After Unit Mechanical Completion has occurred and prior to the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date for a Unit, Contractor shall have the right to take appropriate action(s) consistent with the other requirements of this Agreement to correct deficiencies and improve a Unit’s performance associated with the Performance Guarantees of Section 11.5 . Contractor shall have the right to take such action, in consultation with the Owner and not require Owner’s prior approval, provided that such action [***] is not contrary to the COL or the DCD, and (v) otherwise complies with the requirements of this Agreement. Otherwise, Contractor shall obtain Owner’s prior approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

     11.6 Readiness for Performance Tests. Contractor shall give reasonable prior Notice to Owner of the date (the “ Ready for Performance Test Date ”) when the Unit is ready for the Performance Tests. However, if the Ready for Performance Test Date has not occurred by the date [***] after the Ready for Start-up Test Date, because of delays not caused by or otherwise attributable to Contractor, then the date [***] after the Ready for Start-up Test Date shall for all purposes of this Agreement be the Ready for Performance Test Date.

          (a) If on or after the Ready for Performance Test Date there is a delay in conducting the Performance Tests, that is caused by any action or inaction by Owner, its Personnel, or an event of Force Majeure, the Work shall be deemed to have been suspended by Owner on the Ready for Performance Test Date as if Owner had directed a suspension without cause in accordance with Section 22.1(a) . In connection with such a delay the Parties shall determine as part of the Change Order process such matters as (A) maintenance procedures for the Unit to be followed by Owner until the Performance Tests can occur, (B) whether or not Contractor should demobilize its forces for the duration of the suspension, and (C) if demobilization is to occur, Contractor Personnel that shall either remain on the Site and Nearby Work Areas for the purpose of monitoring the maintenance of the Units and/or be permitted to examine the Unit and Owner’s maintenance records on a routine basis to determine whether the agreed maintenance procedures are being followed.

However, this waiver shall not apply to any rights Owner may have against Contractor under Article 14 Warranty.

          (b) Nuclear Liability Insurance and Governmental Indemnity . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Owner shall maintain “financial protection” to cover public liability as such terms are defined in the AEA, where caused by or arising from a Nuclear Incident, including master worker coverage. Such financial protection shall be in such form and amount to meet the financial protection requirements of Section 170 of the AEA. Owner also shall enter into the governmental indemnity agreement as required by Section 170 of the AEA. In the event that the financial protection system contemplated by Section 170 of the AEA is repealed or changed, Owner shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with Good Industry Practices at that time, to maintain in effect liability protection through governmental indemnity, limitation of liability, insurance and/or other financial protection which will not result in a material impairment of the protection afforded Contractor and Contractor Interests by such nuclear liability protection system which is in effect as of the Effective Date [***].

          (c) Nuclear Property Insurance . Owner shall also maintain property insurance with respect to the Facility and the site (as defined in the policy) as may be available from Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (NEIL) or other sources consistent with the requirements of the NRC and Good Industry Practices, providing protection against loss or damage to the Facility. The limits of insurance shall also be maintained in accordance with the requirements

of the NRC and Good Industry Practices. Such insurance shall cover Contractor and Contractor Interests as their interests may appear. Owner waives and shall require its insurers to waive all rights of recovery against Contractor or any Contractor Interest on account of any nuclear or non-nuclear loss or damage covered by such property insurance during the Work and thereafter, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, and irrespective of fault, negligence or strict liability of any of the Contractor Interests. In the event Owner recovers damages from a third party based on losses at the Facility, the Site, or Nearby Work Areas resulting from a Nuclear Incident, Owner shall indemnify Contractor and all Contractor Interests against claims by such third party which are based on Owner’s recovery of such damages. In addition, Owner waives, and will require its insurers to waive, all rights of recovery against Contractor and Contractor Interests for any and all costs or expenses arising out of or in connection with the investigation and settlement of claims or the defense of suits for damage resulting from a Nuclear Incident during the Work and thereafter.

          (d) Duration . The protection provided by Owner pursuant to this Section 15.6 shall be in effect by the date that Nuclear Fuel first arrives at the Site, and shall remain in effect until the permanent decommissioning of the Facility.

     15.7 Indemnity Procedures.

          (a) The indemnifying Party shall have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing, reasonably acceptable to the indemnified Party, the defense of any Third Party Claim that is covered by the indemnity. The indemnifying Party shall keep the indemnified Party fully informed in the conduct of the proceeding. The indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate at its cost in any such action.

          (b) The indemnified Party may, at its election, participate in the defense thereof at its sole cost and expense; provided, however, that if (i) the indemnifying Party shall fail to defend any Third Party Claim, (ii) the Parties mutually agree in writing to allow the indemnified Party to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim and forego any indemnity claimed under this Article, (iii) in the reasonable opinion of legal counsel for the indemnified Party, such Third Party Claim involves the potential imposition of a criminal liability on the indemnified Party, its directors, officers, employees or agents, or (iv) in the reasonable opinion of legal counsel for the indemnified Party, an actual or potential conflict of interest exists where it is advisable for such indemnified Party to be represented by separate counsel, then the indemnified Party shall be entitled to control and assume responsibility for the defense of such Third Party Claim, at the cost and expense of the indemnifying Party (except in the case of (ii) above, in which the indemnified Party agrees to forego the indemnity). The indemnifying Party may, in any event, participate in such proceedings at its own cost and expense. The indemnified Party shall not have the right to settle without the written consent of the indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

          (c) The indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such litigation, other proceeding or other claim, shall have the right in its sole discretion to settle such Third Party Claim only if (i) settlement involves only the payment of money and execution of appropriate releases of the indemnified Party, (ii) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law or violation of the rights of the indemnified Party, and (iii) the indemnified Party will have no

liability with respect to such compromise or settlement. Otherwise, no such Third Party Claim shall be settled or agreed to without the prior written consent of the indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

          (d) The indemnified Party and the indemnifying Party (i) shall fully cooperate in good faith in connection with such defense and shall cause their legal counsel and accountants to do the same; (ii) shall make available to the other Party all relevant and non-privileged books, records, and information (in such Party’s control) during normal business hours; and (iii) shall furnish to each other, at the indemnifying Party’s expense, such other assistance as the other Party may reasonably require in connection with such defense, including making employees of the indemnified Parties available to testify and assist others in testifying in any such proceedings.

     15.8 Extension of Liability and Insurance Protections from Third Party Contractors.

          (a) Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include in all contracts which Owner enters into with third party contractors relating to Owner’s Scope of Work or activities at the Site or Nearby Work Areas, that all liability and insurance protections which are afforded to Owner thereunder will be contractually extended for the benefit of Contractor and its Affiliates, including being a named insured on insurance, having the benefit of any waivers of subrogation and of liability, and being a named indemnitee and party defended under indemnification and defense provisions.

          (b) Contractor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include in all Subcontracts relating to the Work at the Site or Nearby Work Areas, that all liability and insurance protections which are afforded to Contractor thereunder will be contractually extended for the benefit of Owner and its Affiliates, including being a named insured on insurance, having the benefit of any waivers of subrogation and of liability, and being a named indemnitee and party defended under indemnification and defense provisions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this coverage shall be taken out within [***] after the Effective Date (or other date as agreed upon by the Parties).

          (e) Marine Cargo insurance and Open Cargo insurance; and on-Site or Nearby Work Areas property insurance covering the Equipment to be delivered by Contractor during Phase I until the Builder’s Risk insurance coverage to be supplied by Owner under Section 16.8 is in place.

          (g) Property insurance covering the Construction Equipment in the amount of the value of the Construction Equipment (but only to the extent deemed appropriate by Contractor).

          (h) Employment Practices Liability coverage [***] with a limit of [***], with the deductible to be agreed upon by the Parties.

          (i) Should aircraft or watercraft of any kind be used by Contractor or any of its Subcontractors or by anyone else on their behalf either on the Site or Nearby Work Areas or off the Site or Nearby Work Areas, Contractor or its Subcontractors shall maintain or cause the operator of the aircraft or watercraft to maintain aircraft or watercraft public liability insurance including bodily injury, property damage and passenger liability, as respects any aircraft or watercraft owned, used, operated or hired in connection with the Work by Contractor and Contractor Interests with a limit of [***] for bodily injury and property damage any one occurrence and aggregate, each aircraft or watercraft.

     16.2 Insurance Coverages — Phase II through Substantial Completion.

          (a) Effective at the beginning of Phase II, or as otherwise agreed by the Parties, Owner shall have the option to implement an Owner-Controlled Insurance Program (“ OCIP ”). If Owner elects to implement an OCIP, Owner shall give Contractor Notice at least ninety (90) Days prior to the effective date of the OCIP, and Owner shall supply such coverage pursuant to the requirements of Exhibit BB . The OCIP coverage shall be subject to review and verification by Contractor. Copies of all insurance policies required to be obtained by Owner under this Section 16.2 shall be provided to Contractor prior to the effective date of the OCIP.

          (b) In the event that Owner elects not to implement an OCIP, Owner shall give Notice of its election to Contractor at least ninety (90) Days prior to the beginning of Phase II. As soon as practical after Contractor’s receipt of Owner’s Notice, the Parties shall discuss the various options available for supplying the required coverages (or equivalent), taking into account the cost and availability of the required coverages, the general conditions in the insurance market, the risks inherent in performing the Work, and any other factors that the Parties consider to be relevant. Should the Parties fail to reach mutual agreement as to how the required coverages will be provided within thirty (30) Days from Contractor’s receipt of Owner’s Notice, then Contractor shall have the option to implement a Contractor-Controlled Insurance Program (“ CCIP ”).

          (c) If Contractor provides a CCIP, Contractor shall supply such coverage pursuant to the requirements of Exhibit BB , except that references to “Owner” as set forth in Exhibit BB shall be changed to “Contractor” to the extent appropriate. Copies of all policies required to be obtained by Contractor under this Section 16.2 shall be provided to Owner prior to the effective date of the CCIP.

          (d) If Owner does not supply an OCIP by the beginning of Phase II, and if Contractor does not supply a CCIP by the beginning of Phase II, and unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, Contractor shall continue to maintain in full force and effect the coverages specified in Section 16.1 , with the following exceptions:

     (i) The coverage limit for the Umbrella Liability program to be supplied by Contractor under Section 16.1(j) shall be increased to [***].

     (ii) Products/completed operations coverage under the commercial general liability insurance or comprehensive general liability insurance described in Section 16.1(a) shall remain in full force for [***] following Substantial Completion of the Work.

          (e) The insurance coverages set forth in Sections 16.2(a) though (d) shall be maintained until Substantial Completion of the Facility (or as mutually agreed by the Parties). Upon Substantial Completion of the Facility, the coverages specified in Section 16.1 will be obtained and maintained by Contractor and shall be maintained in full force and effect through Final Completion.

          (f) Whether or not an OCIP or CCIP is in effect during Phase II, Contractor shall maintain the following coverages:

     (i) Comprehensive automobile liability insurance as provided in Section 16.1(b) .

     (ii) Project Specific Professional liability insurance covering errors and omissions of Contractor and its design Subcontractors as provided in Section 16.1(d) .

     (iii) Pollution Liability on a project basis, as provided in Section 16.1(f) , with increased limits of [***].

     (iv) Contractor shall supply property insurance covering the Construction Equipment in the amount of the value of the Construction Equipment [***].

     (v) Employment Practices Liability insurance as provided in Section 16.1(h) .

     (vi) Should aircraft or watercraft of any kind be used by Contractor or any of its Subcontractors or by anyone else on their behalf either on the Site or Nearby Work Areas or off the Site or Nearby Work Areas, Contractor or its Subcontractors shall maintain or cause the operator of the aircraft or watercraft (as applicable) to maintain aircraft or watercraft public liability insurance as provided in Section 16.1(i) .

     16.3 Additional Requirements. All insurance coverages required by Sections 16.1 and 16.2 shall be issued by insurance carriers authorized to issue policies in the State where Work is to be performed with a minimum rating of A-VII by AM Best Company, Inc. or equivalent, unless otherwise mutually agreed. Coverages shall be issued using forms of coverage reasonably acceptable to Owner and Contractor. Owner or Contractor, as applicable shall notify the other Party in writing within thirty (30) Days of any cancellation, termination or material change in any required insurance coverages hereunder. Failure of Contractor or Owner to maintain the coverages required by this Agreement shall not relieve Contractor or Owner from any of their contractual responsibilities under this Agreement. The requirements specified herein as to types, limits and Owner’s approval of insurance coverage to be maintained by Contractor are not intended to and shall not in any manner limit or quantify the liabilities and obligations assumed by Contractor under this Agreement except as may otherwise be provided herein. Additionally, where authorized by Owner, Contractor shall follow any recommendations made by the NRC, Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (“NEIL”), the Institute of Nuclear Power Operators (“INPO”) and American Nuclear Insurers (“ANI”); provided that such recommendations may constitute a Change and may entitle Contractor to seek a Change Order pursuant to Article 9 .

     16.4 Additional Insureds. Contractor agrees that it shall add Owner, its Affiliates, Owner Engineer, Facility co-owners (if any), and their employees, to Contractor’s insurance policies required to be provided hereunder as additional insureds for their vicarious liability arising out of the operations of Contractor, with the exception of Contractor’s Workers’

Compensation, Employment Practices Liability, Professional Liability and Pollution Liability coverages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor and its Personnel shall be included in the OCIP (after enrollment, if applicable) as Enrolled Parties and as additional insureds under Owner’s Builder’s Risk policy (as described in Section 16.8 ) as an insured with primary coverage to such entities. All coverages required of Contractor under this Agreement shall be primary to any similar insurance maintained by Owner except with respect to the OCIP, Builders’ Risk coverages, and the property coverage specified in Section 15.6(c) . Each Party’s policies shall contain a “cross-liability” or “severability of interest” clause or endorsement, where applicable. Notwithstanding any other provisions of a Party’s policies, the insurance supplied by such Party shall apply separately to each insured, named insured, or additional insured with respect to any claim, suit, or judgment made or brought by or for any other insured, named insured, or additional insured as though a separate policy had been issued to each, except the insurer’s liability shall not be increased beyond the amount or amounts for which the insurer would have been liable had only one insured been named. Owner shall not by reason of its inclusion under these Contractor provided policies incur any liability directly to any insurance carrier for payment of premiums for these policies, or incur liability to Contractor for payment of any policy retention or deductible.

     16.5 Waiver of Subrogation. Contractor shall waive and shall require its insurance carriers to waive, with respect to all insurance policies (except Professional Liability Insurance) required to be maintained hereunder, all rights of subrogation against Owner, its Affiliates, Facility co-owners (if any), and their employees.

     16.6 Subcontractors. Contractor shall require its Subcontractors who perform Work at the Site or Nearby Work Areas to provide the insurance coverages and limits of liability (if any) as reasonable and appropriate for their Work. If Contractor requires any of its Subcontractors to provide insurance coverages that are less than those specified above for Contractor, then Contractor assumes responsibility for any liability that would have been covered by the policies and limits specified above. The insurance limits may be provided through a combination of primary and excess policies, including the umbrella form of policy. Subcontractor’s required Commercial General Liability and Automobile insurance, except for Professional Liability, Pollution Liability, Employment Practices Liability and Worker’s Compensation coverage, to the extent provided shall include Owner, its Affiliates, Facility co-owners (if any), and their employees, as additional insureds for their vicarious liability with respect to the activities of the Subcontractor and provide that such insurance is primary to any similar insurance maintained by Owner. Subcontractors shall waive, and shall cause their insurance carriers to waive, all right of subrogation against Owner, its Affiliates, and Facility co-owners (if any) and their employees under any required insurance coverage.

     16.7 Certificates of Insurance; Coverage Verification. Upon the Effective Date of this Agreement, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible, but in all cases prior to performance of any Work at the Site or Nearby Work Areas for the particular phase of the Work, or as provided in this Article 16 , Contractor shall provide (and with regard to Subcontractors performing Work on the Site or Nearby Work Areas that are required to carry insurance shall maintain on file) written proof of compliance with the above insurance requirements for Phase I and Phase II coverage by delivering to:

Owner’s Project Director
Progress Energy Florida, Inc.
15760 Powerline Road
Crystal River, Florida 34428

an original certificate of insurance completed on an insurance industry standard ACORD form by its insurance carrier or broker certifying that (a) the insurance coverages as required above are in effect, (b) Owner and other specified parties have been named as an additional insured to the extent required above, (c) the insurance carrier to the extent required above has waived its right of subrogation against Owner and other specified parties, and (d) the coverage shall not be canceled, terminated or changed until thirty (30) Days after written notice is given to Owner. Contractor shall maintain, update, and renew the certificate until Final Completion and demobilization of Contractor’s Personnel from the Site and Nearby Work Areas. Owner may change the person and/or address for delivery of insurance certificates by giving Contractor Notice of the change. In the event an acceptable certificate of insurance becomes outdated, Owner may give Notice to the Contractor who shall replace same within thirty (30) Days of such notice. After giving Notice as provided above, Owner may elect to withhold payment of invoices, suspend Work, or buy replacement insurance until acceptable and properly dated certificates of insurance are received by Owner, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement. Contractor shall permit Owner to inspect a copy of any policy of insurance required under this Agreement at Contractor’s offices upon request by Owner, provided that Contractor may redact any confidential provisions of such policies.

     16.8 Builder’s Risk Insurance. Owner shall, during Phase II, or as mutually agreed by the Parties, provide and maintain in full force and effect at no cost to Contractor or Contractor Interests a Builder’s Risk insurance policy in amounts (coverage limits) and subject to terms and conditions based on the status of the insurance market for nuclear plant construction at the time construction is initiated at the Site or Nearby Work Areas, insuring the interest of Owner and Contractor and Contractor Interests with coverage on an “All Risk” basis, including, but not limited to, coverage against fire, lighting, wind damage, flood, hail, explosion, riot or civil commotion, aircraft and other vehicles, and collapse at the Site or Nearby Work Areas. Such policy shall be subject to the mutual agreement of the Parties, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, based on the cost and availability of coverage, and based on the general conditions prevailing in the insurance market at that time. The policy(ies) for such insurance shall be secured and maintained by Owner, subject to the following conditions:

          (a) Unless covered otherwise, coverage shall include all materials, supplies and Equipment that are intended for specific installation in the Facility while such materials, supplies and Equipment are located at the Site or Nearby Work Areas and while in transit to the Site or Nearby Work Areas within North America, and during temporary storage within North America other than at the premises of the manufacturer, and shall provide coverage during the Work until replaced by Owner’s operating property coverages. To the extent coverage is not provided by manufacturers, suppliers or other parties shipping materials and Equipment from overseas locations, Owner shall provide and maintain either as a part of the Builder’s Risk insurance or a separate coverage, Marine Cargo insurance and Open Cargo insurance. The Builder’s Risk insurance shall provide coverage for resultant damage to the Work due to any

error in design, defect in Equipment or material or faulty workmanship. However, coverage shall not be provided for repairing the actual defective piece of Equipment or correcting the specific faulty workmanship, per LEG 2/96 wording or equivalent, to the extent available on a commercially reasonable basis. Delay in start-up coverage will be obtained under the Builder’s Risk Insurance and the Marine Cargo Insurance in Owner’s sole discretion. Any recovery under any delay in start-up coverage that may be obtained by Owner shall first be applied to reduce [***] of any schedule related liquidated damages owed by Contractor pursuant to the Performance Incentive Plan in accordance with Exhibit H and Delay Liquidated Damages owed by Contractor after any deductible period under the policy. The balance of any proceeds from the delay in startup coverage that may be obtained by Owner shall be for the sole benefit of Owner.

          (b) There shall not be an exclusion from coverage under the Builder’s Risk policy for architects, engineers or design professionals for Contractor and Contractor Affiliates. The Builder’s Risk policy will include a waiver of subrogation for:

     (i) Contractor and Contractor Affiliates (even in Contractor’s or its Affiliates’ capacity as an architect, engineer or design professional), except for any warranty obligations of Contractor under Article 14 ; and

     (ii) if available, Subcontractors providing design services supplied directly to Contractor and Contractor’s Affiliates.

     Should Owner not be able to obtain Builder’s Risk insurance without the above provisions in this Section 16.8 at a reasonable cost and on reasonable terms, the Parties shall discuss the various options available for satisfying the intent of this Section 16.8 including various deductibles and sublimits, taking into account the cost and availability of the required coverage, the general conditions in the insurance market, the risks inherent in performing the Work, and any other factors that the Parties consider to be relevant. Should the Parties fail to reach mutual agreement, then Contractor shall present a written proposal for procuring such insurance coverage, and the actual cost to be incurred for obtaining such coverage. If Contractor provides such a proposal to Owner, then Owner shall, at Owner’s option, either (i) authorize Contractor to obtain the proposed coverage on a Time and Material Basis, (ii) indemnify Contractor, so that Contractor has protection against liability equal to that available under the Builder’s Risk policy (in absence of the exclusion), or (iii) terminate this Agreement under Section 22.4(b) .

          (c) This insurance shall not cover any tools or clothing of workers or any tools, Construction Equipment, protective fencing, scaffolding, and equipment owned, rented, leased or used by Contractor and Contractor Interests in the performance of the Work, not intended for specific installation into the Facility. In no event shall Owner, Owner Affiliates, Facility co-owners (if any), or their employees be liable or responsible for loss, damage to or destruction of any such items.

          (d) This Builders’ Risk insurance coverage limit shall be in an amount as reasonably determined by Owner considering the value of the Facility to be constructed and the probable maximum loss, as well as the cost and availability of coverage, and general conditions then prevailing in the insurance market at that time.

          (e) Contractor, Contractor Interests, Owner, Owner Affiliates, and Facility co-owners (if any) waive (or shall be required to waive) all rights of recovery against each other for loss or damage to any equipment used in connection with the Work, the Facility and any real or personal property at the Site and the Nearby Work Areas (during performance of the Work, and thereafter in connection with the Work) whether or not covered by any property insurance, whether such liability arises in contract, tort (including fault, negligence or strict liability) or otherwise on the part of any Party or entity. Contractor shall require all of its Subcontractors who perform Work at the Site or Nearby Work Areas to waive all rights for loss of or damage to any equipment used in connection with the Work and any property at the Site and Nearby Work Areas (during the Work and thereafter), whether or not covered by any property insurance, whether such liability arises in contract, tort (including fault, negligence or strict liability) or otherwise on the part of any Party or entity. This provision shall not apply to Contractor’s liability for property loss or damage pursuant to Section 16.8(j) and shall not diminish or affect any liability or responsibility of Contractor for warranties, guarantees, or other specified remedies for defects in the Facility. Otherwise, this Section 16.8(e) shall prevail over any other provision of this Agreement, and shall be broadly construed.

          (f) Owner shall name Contractor and Contractor Interests as additional insureds to this Builder’s Risk policy, without Contractor and Contractor Interests being liable for any premiums.

          (g) The Builder’s Risk policy shall contain a provision that the policy shall not be cancelled, modified or allowed to expire, until at least thirty (30) Days’ prior written notice has been given to Contractor and Contractor Interests, and the policy shall be primary and non-contributory.

          (h) Any covered loss under the Builders’ Risk Policy described above is to be adjusted with Owner and made payable to the Owner. Owner shall pay Contractor any insurance monies received as Contractor’s or its Subcontractor’s interests may appear. Contractor shall then be responsible to pay its Subcontractors in accordance with its agreements with its Subcontractors, or as their interests may appear.

          (i) Contractor and Contractor Interests shall not make a claim against the Builders Risk policy without Notice to the Owner as the primary holder of the policy.

          (j) The Builders Risk Insurance supplied by Owner under this Section 16.8 shall have a deductible in an amount to be determined in Owner’s sole discretion, which shall be allocated to the Party that has the risk of loss as specified herein. Should Owner choose to have a deductible [***], the deductible [***] and any loss in excess of policy limits or otherwise not covered by any insurance shall be Owner’s responsibility, and Owner hereby releases Contractor and Contractor Interests for any such liability for any loss or damages (during the Work and thereafter in connection with the Work), whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, and irrespective of the fault, negligence or strict liability of any of Contractor

Interests. Owner shall reimburse Contractor its costs and charges resulting from a covered event on a Time and Material Basis for any such corrective Work [***].

     16.9 Payment of Premiums. Each Party shall pay all premiums for insurance that it is required or chooses to obtain, including any charges for required waivers of subrogation or the endorsement of additional insureds. Contractor shall be reimbursed for all such premiums and charges on a Time and Material Basis for all coverages required to be obtained under this Agreement.

     16.10 Owner Representative. Contractor understands that Owner may have an administrator on-Site or Nearby Work Areas at all times in which Contractor or its Personnel are at the Site and Nearby Work Areas. Contractor shall interface and cooperate with Owner’s administrator.

ARTICLE 17 — LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

     17.1 No Consequential Damages. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE PAYMENT OF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES OR PERFORMANCE OF AN EXPRESS REMEDY COULD OTHERWISE BE DEEMED TO BE SUCH DAMAGES, IN NO EVENT SHALL OWNER OR ITS AFFILIATES OR THEIR CONTRACTORS, OR CONTRACTOR OR CONTRACTOR INTERESTS, BE LIABLE TO EACH OTHER, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT (INCLUDING BREACH, INDEMNITY OR WARRANTY) OR TORT (INCLUDING FAULT, NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY), UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE, RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THE WORK OR THIS AGREEMENT, FOR ANY PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR INCIDENTAL LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY, INCLUDING ANY SUCH DAMAGES WHICH RESULT FROM LOSS OF USE OF PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT OR SYSTEMS, LOSS BY REASON OF FACILITY SHUTDOWN OR SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COSTS OF CAPITAL OR EXPENSES THEREOF, LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES OR THE LOSS OF USE THEREOF, OR COST OF PURCHASED OR REPLACEMENT POWER (INCLUDING ADDITIONAL EXPENSES INCURRED IN USING EXISTING POWER FACILITIES) OR FROM CLAIMS OF CUSTOMERS.

THAT IS SUBJECT TO [***] AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 11.5(d)(iv) . THE FOREGOING SENTENCE SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY. IT IS THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES THAT THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY AMOUNT [***] BE SEPARATE AND EXCLUSIVE FROM EACH OTHER. IN NO EVENT MAY ANY CLAIM [***], BY EITHER PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE WORK OR THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT (INCLUDING BREACH, INDEMNITY OR WARRANTY), TORT (INCLUDING FAULT, NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY) OR OTHERWISE BE BROUGHT MORE THAN [***] AFTER FINAL COMPLETION OF THE UNIT TO WHICH THE CLAIM RELATES. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION 17.2 , THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY AMOUNT [***], ALL PERMANENT ANCILLARY FACILITIES NECESSARY FOR THE OPERATION OF THE FIRST UNIT SHALL BE CONSIDERED TO BE A PART OF THE FIRST UNIT TO BE CONSTRUCTED BY CONTRACTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND ALL OTHER ANCILLARY FACILITIES SHALL BE CONSIDERED TO BE A PART OF THE SECOND UNIT. NO CLAIMS UNDER SECTION 5.11(b) SHALL BE BROUGHT MORE THAN [***] AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH CONTRACTOR’S ACTION OR FAILURE TO ACT GAVE RISE TO SUCH CLAIM. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, CONTRACTOR’S LIABILITY TO THIRD PARTIES (EXCEPT FOR CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS TO EXPRESS THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT) IS NOT LIMITED BY THIS SECTION 17.2 . FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING WHETHER THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY AMOUNT HAS BEEN EXCEEDED, INSURANCE PROCEEDS RECEIVED FROM ANY INSURANCE POLICIES THAT ARE OBTAINED BY OWNER OR THAT ARE FULLY REIMBURSED BY OWNER, AND PAYMENTS MADE BY CONTRACTOR DIRECTLY TO THIRD PARTIES FOR THIRD PARTY CLAIMS, SHALL NOT BE INCLUDED.

     17.3 Division of Liability. The Consortium Members agree that [***].

ARTICLE 18 — LIENS

     18.1 Liens. Contractor shall keep the Facility, the Site, the Nearby Work Areas and the Equipment and all Work free from Liens (other than liens arising from acts of Owner or Owner’s failure to pay amounts due to Contractor), and shall promptly notify Owner of any known Liens filed against the Facility, the Site, the Nearby Work areas, the Equipment, or the Work, and any structures comprising the Facility or located on the Site or Nearby Work Areas. Contractor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Owner harmless from and against any such Liens. If Owner seeks Contractor’s indemnification for any Lien, Owner shall:

          (a) Give Contractor prompt written notice of any Lien of which it has knowledge, and applicable documentation regarding the Lien;

          (b) Cooperate in the defense of the Lien at Contractor’s expense; and

ARTICLE 19 — PROPRIETARY DATA; SOFTWARE LICENSE

     19.1 Protection of Proprietary Data.

          (a) Proprietary Data. Any Proprietary Data of a Party that is disclosed or provided by that Party (the “ Providing Party ”) to the other Party (the “ Receiving Party ”) shall be marked “Proprietary” or the like on each page in which the respective Party claims a proprietary or confidential interest therein (including within electronic media, as appropriate). Should the Providing Party discover within [***] of the original disclosure to the Receiving Party, however, that a particular page (including within electronic media, as appropriate) of Proprietary Data should have been marked “Proprietary” or the like and was not, then the Providing Party may send written correspondence to the Receiving Party re-designating such page (including within electronic media, as appropriate) as “Proprietary” and send an additional copy of the Proprietary Data so marked. Thereafter, the Receiving Party shall treat such page (including within electronic media, as appropriate) as Proprietary Data. The terms and conditions of this Agreement are deemed to be Proprietary Data of all Parties. Each Party agrees to make commercially reasonable efforts to mark only each document or page as “Proprietary” or the like if it contains information that meets the definition of Proprietary Data as set forth in Article 1 and, for Westinghouse, consistent with WCAP-7211, (Rev. 5). If data is unmarked, then such data may be disclosed to third parties. In the event that the Receiving Party discloses Proprietary Data that is marked Proprietary and is Contractor Non Disclosable Data (as defined below), or otherwise is not permitted to be disclosed under the provision of this Article 19 , the Recipient agrees to make commercially reasonable efforts to recover all copies of such Proprietary Data and provide notice to the party receiving such Proprietary Data as to the proprietary nature of the Proprietary Data. In the event that either Party inadvertently supplies Proprietary Data that the other Party is not entitled to receive under this Agreement, then the Providing Party may send written correspondence to the Receiving Party requesting the return of all copies of such documents and the Receiving Party agrees to return all copies of

such Proprietary Data. Notwithstanding this Article 19 , specific data that is in the public domain or is not developed by Contractor and its Subcontractors but is encompassed within a document that contains Proprietary Data, is not Proprietary and may be extracted and disclosed, although the document that contains Proprietary Data as well as the specific public domain data will be treated in a manner consistent with this Article 19 .

          (b) Preferential Rights Agreements . Westinghouse has entered into substantially identical Preferential Rights Agreements (each a “ Preferential Rights Agreement ”) with Owner and a number of other NuStart members who are potential customers for the AP1000 Nuclear Power Plant. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 19 , Contractor shall have the right to disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including pricing) to independent auditors of Westinghouse and independent auditors of such other NuStart members who have entered into a Preferential Rights Agreement with Westinghouse, but only to the extent required to satisfy the requirements of each such Preferential Rights Agreement. Except as otherwise required by a court order or other applicable Law (none of which is known to apply at this time), any such disclosure shall be made only after complying with the following conditions: (i) Westinghouse will provide Owner with at least seven (7) Days prior Notice of the disclosure, including the name of the NuStart member and the third party auditor to which the information to be disclosed; (ii) such disclosures shall only be made to a third party auditor that has executed a reasonable confidentiality agreement with Contractor governing the disclosed information (a copy of which shall be included with the Notice); and (iii) Westinghouse will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to handle in a consistent manner the disclosures required under each of the Preferential Rights Agreements. Should any court order or other applicable Law restrict the ability of Westinghouse to comply with the above stated conditions, Westinghouse shall give Notice of the restriction to Owner and Stone & Webster, and the Parties shall endeavor in good faith to take appropriate steps to satisfy the intent of this Section 19.1(b) , consistent with the requirements of such court order or applicable Law.

          (c) Government Approvals. Owner may disclose Proprietary Data of Contractor or Contractor Interests to Government Authorities as necessary to obtain Government Approvals. In the use of any Proprietary Data of the other Party for the purpose of providing required information to or securing Government Approvals from any Government Authority, Owner and Contractor shall cooperate to minimize the amount of Proprietary Data required to be furnished consistent with the interests of the other Party and the requirements of the Government Authority involved. Furthermore, Owner is permitted to disclose Proprietary Data of Contractor or Contractor Interests as required by Law, provided that Owner shall give Contractor prompt and reasonable prior Notice so as to allow Contractor to object, seek a protective order, or pursue similar protections. Owner is also permitted to disclose to the appropriate Government Authority any noncompliance or violation of Law within the jurisdiction of such Government Authority.

          (d) Owner’s Proprietary Data. Contractor agrees that it will not, during or after the term of this Agreement, disclose any Proprietary Data of Owner and its Affiliates, which is provided to Contractor during the performance of Work under this Agreement, including but not limited to, its costs, charges, rates, records, operating procedures, and methods of doing business, to any Person (other than Subcontractors as necessary to perform

the work under an agreement substantially in the form set out in Exhibit O ), or to the general public for any reason or purpose whatsoever without the prior written consent of Owner, and that such Proprietary Data received by Contractor and any of its Subcontractors shall be used by it exclusively in connection with the performance of its responsibilities under this Agreement relating to the Work. Nothing herein, however, shall prevent Contractor from disclosing Proprietary Data of Owner or its Affiliates as required by Law, provided that Contractor shall give Owner prompt and reasonable prior Notice so as to allow Owner to object, seek a protective order or pursue similar protections. Contractor is also permitted to disclose to the appropriate Government Authority any noncompliance or violation of Law within the jurisdiction of such Government Authority. In addition, Contractor shall have the right to receive and use Proprietary Data of Owner for the purposes of performing or assisting in the performance of start-up, commissioning, licensing and start-up maintenance services for other AP1000 Nuclear Power Plant owners and with Owner’s prior written consent to disclose Proprietary Data of Owner to such owners or Subcontractors for such purposes and under provisions of confidentiality. Nothing herein grants the right to Contractor (or implies a license under any patent) to sell, license, lease or cause to have sold, licensed or leased, any Proprietary Data supplied by Owner except as expressly permitted under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 21 — TITLE; RISK OF LOSS; PROPERTY DAMAGE LIABILITY

     21.1 Transfer of Title. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, title to each item of the Equipment shall pass to Owner at the time such item of the Equipment has physically entered the boundary of the Site or Nearby Work Areas. The passage of title to Owner shall not be deemed an acceptance or approval of such Equipment (or any Work), affect the allocation of risk of loss, or otherwise relieve Contractor of any obligation under this Agreement to provide and pay for transportation and storage in connection with the Equipment. Notwithstanding the passage of title from Contractor to Owner, Contractor shall remain responsible for satisfying its obligations under this Agreement. Should Owner sell or transfer an ownership interest in the Facility or Unit to another Person in accordance with Section 37.7 , pro-rata title to each item of Equipment shall simultaneously pass to such Person in accordance with the provisions of the agreement that is to be entered into in by the Parties and such Person in the form attached as Exhibit EE to this Agreement.

     21.2 Risk of Loss and Property Damage Liability.

          (a) Whether or not title has passed to Owner, the risk of loss for each System shall remain with Contractor until Turnover of such System at which time such risk of loss shall pass to the Owner. For Equipment, structures or other components that are not part of a System, Contractor shall retain risk of loss until Owner takes care, custody and control of such Equipment, structures or other components or upon Substantial Completion of the applicable Unit, whichever occurs earlier, at which time such risk of loss shall pass to the Owner. When risk of loss is with Contractor, Contractor’s liability for any loss or damage to any Owner property, real or personal, shall be limited to Contractor’s (i) duty to replace, repair or reconstruct the System, Equipment, structure or other component as applicable, that is lost, damaged or destroyed (not arising out of or resulting from a Nuclear Incident) before the risk of

loss of the System, Equipment, structures or other components as applicable, is transferred to Owner, and (ii) [***], Owner shall reimburse Contractor for Contractor’s costs and charges (on a Time and Materials Basis) incurred in performing such replacement, repair or reconstruction, as applicable, from applicable insurance or, if not reimbursed from such insurances, from Owner. After transfer of risk of loss to Owner, the risk of loss for the Systems, Equipment, structures or other components that Contractor removes from the Facility or from the Site or Nearby Work Areas for repair, replacement or refurbishment under a warranty or otherwise will be transferred back to Contractor at the time that Contractor begins work to remove such System, Equipment, structures or other components at the Facility. Risk of loss shall revert to Owner upon subsequent turnover of such System or Equipment that is repaired, replaced or refurbished. Notwithstanding the passage of risk of loss from Contractor to Owner, Contractor shall remain responsible for satisfying its obligations under this Agreement.

          (b) When the risk of loss transfers to Owner, the risk of loss, destruction or damage of the System, Equipment, structures or other components shall be borne by and remain with Owner until the completion of the Facility and thereafter except for the transfer back to Contractor of risk of loss with respect to specific limited Systems, Equipment, structures or other components that takes place under Section 21.2(a) with respect to the items that Contractor removes from the Facility for repair, replacement or refurbishment. Upon the transfer of risk of loss to Owner, the Owner on behalf of itself, its Affiliates and insurers, hereby releases Contractor and Contractor Interests from any and all liability for loss, damage or destruction to the Facility, the Work and any Owner property related to the AP1000 Nuclear Power Plant wherever located of any character, real or personal, during the Work and thereafter, whether arising in contract (including indemnity and warranty), tort or otherwise, and irrespective of the fault, negligence or strict liability of those released. At Owner’s written request after risk of loss passes to Owner, Contractor agrees to repair, replace or reconstruct any damage or destruction on a Time and Materials Basis.

          (c) This provision forms an integral portion of the consideration hereunder and is provided in lieu of Contractor being required to provide additional duplicative insurances. This Section 21.2 is intended to be and shall be interpreted as being consistent with the risk of loss and liability allocation provisions set forth in Section 16.8 that address certain risk of loss and liability allocation issues and related issues with respect to builders risk insurance; however, this Section 21.2 is broader than Section 16.8 and is applicable in all situations regardless of whether builders risk insurance or other insurance is applicable and regardless of whether a particular loss or casualty is covered by any form of insurance. For purposes of clarification the risk of loss and liability allocation provisions set forth herein apply only to this Agreement and the activities and transactions contemplated hereby. If the Contractor or either of the Consortium Members enter into other contracts with Owner for the provision of services and equipment, then the risk of loss and liability allocation with regard to such services and equipment shall be governed only by the terms and provisions of such other contracts.

     21.3 Construction Equipment. Contractor is responsible for the care, custody and control of, and shall bear the risk of loss or damage to Construction Equipment delivered to the Work location, Facility, Site or Nearby Work Areas by Contractor or its Subcontractors, that will not become a permanent part of the Facility and which are owned, used or leased by Contractor

or its Subcontractors to perform the Work, irrespective of the negligence or fault of Owner. Owner is not responsible for any loss of or damage to the Construction Equipment of Contractor resulting from the tortious act or omission of any other contractor.

By providing an employee or Subcontractor under this Agreement, Contractor warrants and represents that it has completed the applicable screening measures with respect to such employee or Subcontractor and that such screening measures did not reveal any information that could adversely affect such employee’s or Subcontractor’s suitability for employment or engagement by Contractor or competence or ability to perform duties under this Agreement. If in doubt whether a suitability, competence or ability concern exists, Contractor shall discuss with Owner the relevant facts and Owner will determine, in its sole discretion, whether such Person should be allowed to perform the Work. In all circumstances, Contractor shall ensure that the substance and manner of any and all of the applicable screening measures performed by Contractor pursuant to this Section 24.3(b) conform fully to applicable Law. In addition, in the event that Contractor learns of any misconduct, incompetence or negligence by any Person employed or engaged by Contractor or its Subcontractors independent of Owner’s objection, Contractor shall remove such Persons from the Site and Nearby Work Areas, shall not allow any further performance of the Work by such Persons and shall promptly notify Owner of such misconduct, incompetence or negligence and the actions taken by Contractor as a result thereof.

          (c) If Contractor learns that any of its employees, agents, or suppliers, or any of its Subcontractors’ employees, agents, or suppliers have raised a safety concern (including an alleged violation of Section 211) related directly or indirectly to the Work or Owner, then Contractor shall promptly notify Owner of said safety concern by notifying an official representative of Owner’s Employee Concerns Program. Further, if any of Contractor’s or its Subcontractors’ employees, agents, or suppliers files a complaint with the Department of Labor, the NRC, another cognizant government agency, or a court, alleging a violation of Section 211, the Energy Reorganization Act generally, or the Atomic Energy Act, and if such complaint is made either directly or indirectly in connection with the Work or Owner, then Contractor shall promptly notify Owner of said complaint by notifying an official representative of Owner’s Employee Concerns Program.

          (d) Contractor shall investigate and resolve appropriately any such safety concern or complaint, providing timely feedback: (i) to the individual who raised such safety concern or complaint, if the individual’s identity is known, and (ii) to Owner through Owner’s Employee Concerns Program. Contractor shall cooperate fully with Owner in connection with any such safety concern or complaint, including without limitation allowing Owner: (i) to review Contractor’s investigation; (ii) to conduct Owner’s own investigation; and (iii) to take reasonable action to achieve a remedy for any discriminatory action and to reduce potential “chilling effects” that may make others less willing to raise safety concerns or complaints.

The Employee Concerns Program provides a means for personnel working at Owner’s nuclear plants and support areas to report nuclear safety and quality concerns. Contractor shall provide Owner with reasonable access during normal working hours to written information regarding such concerns resulting from the Employee Concerns Program. Contractor’s employees shall comply with the provisions and requirements of this Program as follows:

          (a) The Employee Concerns Program applies to all personnel, including Contractor’s employees and those of its Subcontractors, who perform Work or provide Services or components to the Facility. Contractor’s employees may report safety and other work place issues in confidence or anonymously to the Employee Concerns Program. Contractor is required to inform its employees and those of its Subcontractors of the availability of the Employee Concerns Program.

          (b) Contractor also shall inform its employees and cause its Subcontractors to inform to its employees that they may notify Owner’s Project Director or Contractor’s Employee Concerns Program Representative, of any nuclear or radiological safety issue that arises in the course of Work performed at the Facility, and that they are free at any time, to contact the NRC with regard to any such issue. In turn, the Contractor and its Subcontractors are required to promptly advise the Owner’s Project Director of any nuclear or radiological safety issue brought to the Contractor’s attention, whether the issue is brought directly to Contractor or filed with a governmental agency or court.

          (c) Contractor shall designate an individual to serve as the contact for Employee Concerns Program matters. The designee, in addition to other duties, shall be responsible for:

          (f) Contractor shall comply with Owner’s policy regarding intimidation and harassment or any form of discrimination against an employee for raising nuclear safety or quality concerns.

          (g) Contractor shall comply with the requirements of 10 CFR §50.7, “Employee Protection.”

Contractor shall promptly notify the Owner’s Project Director, and Owner’s Employee Concerns Representative, upon Contractor’s receipt of such an allegation, whether formal or informal, or upon receiving information that a complaint or allegation has been filed under Section 211 of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended, or 10 CFR 50.7 by a

current or former employee of Contractor or Contractor’s Subcontractor. Contractor shall cooperate fully in any investigation into such allegations, whether by Owner or a government agency. Contractor shall cooperate fully with Owner and its legal counsel in responding to any claim asserted under Section 211 or 10 CFR 50.7.

          (i) Contractor shall ensure that its employment policies and agreements, including agreements to settle any allegations of discrimination, do not contain any provision that would prohibit, restrict, or otherwise discourage an employee from participating in any protected activity, as defined in Section 211 of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended, including contacting the NRC.

     24.9 Use of Non-English Speaking Workers. Prior to the beginning of any Work at the Site and Nearby Work Areas, Contractor shall notify Owner if it anticipates using any non-English speaking Personnel at the Site and Nearby Work Areas. If such Personnel are used, Contractor shall provide an on-site bilingual person to translate the Site orientation and safety information training. Contractor shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the non-English-speaking Personnel are fully trained and understand the Site orientation and safety information. In addition, any time Contractor’s non-English speaking Personnel are present at the Site or Nearby Work Areas, the Contractor shall provide at least one bilingual person in each applicable work crew capable of both communicating in English and instructing the non-English speaking workers. Contractor shall specifically identify these bilingual interpreters to Owner’s Project Director. For this purpose, a work crew is defined as any worker or group of workers in any specific location on the Site or Nearby Work Areas, regardless of how Contractor organizes his work force. Owner may assist in facilitating communication of important safety information by offering bilingual versions of safety brochures or video presentations. If these are available, it in no way relieves Contractor of providing the interpreter services stated above. Contractor shall provide signage at the Site and Nearby Work Areas in the language(s) required by applicable Law.

     24.10 Code of Ethics. Contractor, Contractor’s employees, and employees of Contractor’s Subcontractors shall comply with Owner’s Code of Ethics.

If Owner requests verification of Direct Costs claimed by Contractor for reimbursement or for any Work performed or provided on a Time and Materials Basis or the Target Price, Owner (or an independent accounting professional hired by Owner that is subject to the approval of the Contractor) may examine and audit Contractor’s records and books related to those costs. Such audit will cover whether specified Equipment and Services were in fact provided, were charged to the proper category of expenses and did not exceed the rates or amounts permitted hereunder for such matters. In addition the audit will permit Owner or Owner’s independent accounting professional to verify that costs and charges have been properly invoiced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, Owner shall not be entitled to access information that would enable Owner to determine [***]. In addition Owner shall not be entitled to audit or to information pertaining to [***]. If any audit reveals charges to or paid by Owner as charges or fees (including any Contractor Taxes reimbursed by Owner) which are or were incorrectly

charged, then the affected Party shall be entitled upon demand to corrective reimbursement of such amounts. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, Owner shall not be restricted from any audit rights provided that a mutually acceptable third party accounting professional (having executed a reasonable confidentiality agreement acceptable to both Parties) conducts such audit that it is required to have in order to comply with applicable Laws, including the regulations of the NRC. Audits shall take place at times and locations mutually agreed upon by both Parties. Contractor shall make the materials to be audited available within fifteen (15) Business Days or as soon as reasonably practicable, of such third party’s reasonable request for them. Costs incurred in undertaking the audit will be borne by Owner but costs incurred by Contractor as a result of Owner’s exercising its right to audit will be borne by Contractor. Except for reports which account for FERC requirements, Owner shall be entitled only to a statement from such third party that the audit was satisfactory or what adjustments to payments are required.

     25.6 Sales Tax Records. Contractor shall reasonably cooperate with Owner in connection with (a) the reporting of any property, excise, and Sales Taxes payable with respect to the Work and (b) any assessment, demand or inquiry of Government Authority, refund claim or proceeding relating to property, excise, or Sales Taxes potentially payable with respect to the Work. Contractor shall require its first tier Subcontractors provide to Contractor information and documentation Contractor may reasonably request for purposes of complying with this Article and otherwise reasonably cooperate with Owner. Contractor shall retain, and shall require its first tier Subcontractors to retain, copies of such documentation that supports the information provided by Contractor pursuant to Section 26.3(c) , including but not limited to invoices together with backup detail, until the later of [***] after Final Completion or the expiration of the limitations period for assessment of Tax, as extended by any agreements with the Government Authority or by the operation of any statutory tolling provisions. However, in the event of an audit of or assertion of Tax against Owner which is not resolved prior to the expiration of the [***] period specified herein, Contractor’s obligations in the preceding sentence with respect to retention of records after [***] shall be conditioned on Owner’s notification of Contractor of such audit or assertion of Tax prior to the expiration of such period. Records retained by Contractor shall include documentation supporting the date of delivery to the Site and Nearby Work Areas of all Equipment, materials, and supplies for incorporation into the Work. Owner will request that the State of Florida incorporate in its Management Compliance Agreement that any audit necessary will commence promptly upon Final Completion.

     Contractor shall require that its contracts with its first tier Subcontractors effectuate the provisions of this Section so that documentation supporting the information provided pursuant to Section 26.3(c) is available for Tax audit or other Tax-related purposes.

Contractor’s responsibility hereunder includes Taxes attributable to its purchases and use of property that it will retain after Final Completion and also Taxes attributable to its purchases of property that, at Contractor’s election and not at the direction of Owner, Contractor will abandon or demolish. [***]. With respect to property described in this Section 26.2 , Contractor will endeavor to reasonably obtain and will require its Subcontractors to reasonably obtain any exemptions from Taxes, including but not limited to exemptions from Taxes on motor fuel and diesel fuel, so that Taxes are not unnecessarily embedded in the Contract Price.

     26.3 Sales Tax on Items Incorporated into the Facility.

          (a) Owner has obtained a Direct Pay Permit from the Florida Department of Revenue (hereafter “ Department ”), together with additional documentation (such Permit and additional documentation are hereafter referred to collectively as “ Direct Pay Documentation ”), establishing that Owner will be directly responsible to the Department for all Sales Taxes which may be due with respect to Equipment, other property, and Services to be delivered and furnished to Owner under this Agreement, including but not limited to Sales Taxes on materials incorporated into permanent buildings and into other permanent real property improvements. Owner has provided to Contractor copies of such Direct Pay Documentation, which is attached hereto as Exhibit V . Pursuant to the Direct Pay Documentation, Contractor will not charge Owner any Sales Tax with respect to any such Equipment, other property, or Services, and will cause the Direct Pay Documentation to be distributed to all Subcontractors. In addition, with respect to property acquired from sources outside of Florida, Contractor will issue and cause its Subcontractors to issue proper resale certificates and other exemption documentation, it being the intent of this paragraph to ensure that Contractor and Subcontractors do not charge or pay Sales Tax with respect to any sale or purchase of such Equipment, property or Services. [***].

          (b) Contractor will consult with Owner regarding the implementation of the Direct Pay Documentation, which authorizes Contractor and Subcontractors to rely thereon in lieu of charging or paying Sales Taxes or requiring or providing resale certificates or other exemption documentation for Florida tax purposes with respect to their sales or purchases of property to be incorporated into the Facility.

No amount that is included for an item of the schedule will be included in the amount entered for any other item. The estimates required hereunder and the allocation methodologies (e.g., commodity or indirect allocations) used to derive them will be set forth in one or more affidavits of Contractor employees, and Contractor will make such employees available to explain such estimates to the Department of Revenue upon Owner’s request. Such estimates will be subdivided by the year such charges are expected to be incurred and will be on an accrual basis. After the aforementioned schedule is finalized and provided to Contractor, Contractor will determine an approximate number of man-hours required to provide such estimates and shall endeavor to issue a Change request pursuant to Section 9.1(b) within ten (10) Days but in no event later than twenty (20) Days following receipt of such information from Owner, and Owner will issue a Change Order no later than ten (10) Days following receipt of such Change, to reimburse Contractor on a Time and Material Basis.  Provided that the Owner provides to Contractor an enumeration of the information required hereunder and a Time and Material Change Order to develop the estimates (such Change Order will be amended once Contractor provides such man-hour information to Owner) by October 1, 2008:  (x) Contractor will provide Owner with preliminary estimates and other information as required by the Owner to meet the State of Florida requirements for the 2009 calendar year by January 15, 2009; and (y) the estimates covering the duration of the Work and other information as required by the Owner hereunder will be provided to Owner no later than June 1, 2009.   If Owner does not provide such enumeration by October 1, 2008, the time for Contractor to provide the information required hereunder will be extended by the same number of Days that such enumeration was delayed.

     (ii) On or before March 1 of each year until Final Completion, Contractor will provide Owner with an update of the aforementioned estimates by year, taking into account actual experience and any changes in the estimates provided pursuant to subparagraph (i) and when they have been or will be charged to Owner. Within ninety (90) Days after Final Completion, Contractor will provide Owner with a final update containing the same information for actual amounts. Updates will be certified by affidavit upon request of Owner or the Department of Revenue. Contractor will then determine the number of man hours required to calculate a true-up of the estimated costs to the actual costs and issue a subsequent Change Order to Owner to reimburse Contractor on a Time and Material Basis.

     (iii) In the event of changes in the Work or other changes that necessitate additions, deletions, or other modifications to the list of items for which information is required under Section 26.3(c)(i) , Owner will notify Contractor and Contractor will provide information which conforms to such requirements.

     (iv) If requested by Owner in connection with any required reporting of Tax, any Tax audit, or any other inquiry by a taxing authority, Contractor will make available and will cause its first tier Subcontractors to make available to Owner or the Department of Revenue information and documentation supporting the line item amounts required herein.

     26.5 Tax Indemnification.

          (a) Except in cases where the imposition of any such Tax is the result of the negligence or willful misconduct by Contractor, Owner shall defend, reimburse, indemnify and hold Contractor harmless for any Sales Taxes or property taxes (including any interest and penalties) incurred by Contractor as a result of an assessment or other demand of a Government Authority and which are finally determined to be due with respect to any material, Equipment, or any other property or Services to be provided to Owner by Contractor under this Agreement. This indemnity includes any reasonable legal expenses and other costs incurred by Contractor as a result of Owner’s failure to pay such taxes or a decision by Owner to contest an assessment or other demand by a Government Authority, whether or not such contest is successful, provided that it is the intent of the Parties that Owner will control any such contest and it will not be necessary for Contractor to incur legal , accounting and other expense. Owner’s indemnifications set forth in this Section 26.5 are conditioned on Contractor’s compliance with this Section 26.5 and Sections 25.6, 26.3, 26.4, and 26.6 with respect to any Taxes subject to such indemnifications. Owner’s indemnity of Contractor hereunder does not include Taxes (including any interest and penalties) which may be due or asserted by Government Authority against Contractor or any Subcontractor with respect to any of Contractor’s or a Subcontractor’s materials, tools, equipment, supplies, and other consumables that are not permanently incorporated into the Facility, and does not include any costs that Contractor may incur in connection with such Taxes.

Equipment, tools and materials that are not incorporated into the Facility, any payroll or Employment Taxes, or any other similar Taxes. This indemnity includes any reasonable legal expenses and other costs incurred by Owner as a result of Contractor’s failure to withhold or pay such Taxes or a decision by Contractor to contest an assessment or other demand by a Government Authority, whether or not such contest is successful, provided that it is the intent of the Parties that Contractor will control any such contest and it will not be necessary for Owner to incur significant legal expense. Contractor shall not be responsible for any costs incurred by Owner necessary to substantiate or verify information for any Tax audit or investigation conducted by any Government Authority in the normal course of business. Nothing in this Section 26.5(b) shall alter any right of Contractor to reimbursement for Taxes or other amounts pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement.

          (c) With respect to any Taxes for which either Party has indemnified the other under this Section 26.5 , the indemnified Party (“ Indemnitee ”) will furnish the other Party (“ Indemnitor ”) with Notice of any Tax audit or other demand for information within forty-five (45) Days following issuance of a notification of intent to audit or other such demand by a Government Authority that specifies transactions related to the Work or a period of inquiry that includes, in whole or in part, the period during which Contractor acquired or delivered property or services comprising the Work. With respect to any audit or other inquiry regarding any such Tax for which either Party has indemnified the other Party hereunder, the Indemnitee will cooperate with the Indemnitor so that the Indemnitor can protect its interests with respect to any potential assertion of Tax, interest, or penalty. The Indemnitee will permit the Indemnitor to participate with the Indemnitee and the Government Authority in discussions relating to audit methodology at such level within the Government Authority as the Indemnitor deems appropriate. In addition, the Indemnitee will promptly furnish the Indemnitor with copies of any documents provided to the Government Authority relating to such Tax, and will obtain advance written approval from the Indemnitor prior to furnishing any response to the Government Authority regarding the treatment of any property or transaction for purposes of any such Tax. The Indemnitor will cooperate reasonably with the Indemnitee in the formulation of any such response to a Government Authority. In addition, and also with respect to Taxes that are the subject of indemnification, the Indemnitee will provide the Indemnitor with timely Notice of any assessment of property tax or other assertion of Tax by a Government Authority, will allow the Indemnitor to control the selection and pursuit of any remedies or the negotiation of a settlement, and will cooperate with the Indemnitor in the evaluation and pursuit of any remedies or settlement. For purposes of this Section 26.5 “timely Notice” means Notice that affords the Indemnitor reasonable time to evaluate the issues and pursue a remedy before the remedy is barred. “Cooperate” as used in this Section includes, without limitation, allowing the Indemnitor to proceed in the Indemnitee’s name in order to establish standing, and, notwithstanding any limitations elsewhere in this Agreement, providing any records and other information that the Indemnitor reasonably requires to evaluate its position and pursue the remedies of its choosing. In addition, the Parties agree to cooperate with each other in taking such measures as will avoid or mitigate any Taxes. “Remedy” as used herein includes without limitation any protest, petition, suit, defense, or other legal objection to the assessment or assertion of Tax, and includes payment of the Tax and seeking refund thereof. For purposes of this Section, the words “finally determined” mean a determination that is no longer subject to a legal remedy. Contractor will maintain the capability to segregate invoices related to this Agreement from invoices related to other projects of Contractor. If any audit, assessment or

demand by a Government Authority involves a Tax for which a Party is indemnifying the other Party hereunder and also a Tax which is not within the scope of such indemnity, the Indemnitee will control the audit and its response to any assessment or demand and its pursuit of any remedies with respect to the Tax which is not within the scope of this indemnity, provided that the parties will cooperate with each other reasonably with respect to such audit, assessment, or demand and in the pursuit of their respective remedies. Owner will use information provided by Contractor hereunder only for Tax purposes.

          (d) Notwithstanding Section 8.3 and with respect to a Tax that is subject to indemnification hereunder, until the Tax is finally determined to be due, payment thereof by the Indemnitor shall not be required and Article 27 shall not apply with respect to the dispute or any Claim resulting from such dispute; provided, however, that in the event a lien is recorded against the property of an Indemnitee for failure to pay a Tax for which the Indemnitee is indemnified hereunder, the Indemnitor will pay such Tax upon demand of the Indemnitee notwithstanding that the Tax has not been finally determined to be due. If the Tax subject to indemnity is finally determined not to be due, the Indemnitee will refund such amount to the Indemnitor within thirty (30) Days after such final determination. Any indemnity payments that are required pursuant to the terms of this Section shall be paid within thirty (30) Days of receipt of the invoice from the Indemnitee for such amounts, provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to authorize a Party to invoice the other for any Tax, interest, or penalty that is assessed or demanded by Government Authority prior to the time such amount is finally determined to be due.

     26.6 Pollution Control Equipment and Other Qualifying Exempt Equipment Information. Contractor shall supply Owner with reasonable information requested by Owner for qualifying steam, air, water or noise pollution control and other Equipment for exemption from Sales Taxes, property taxes and any other tax credits, refunds or exemptions available to Owner. Contractor agrees to reasonably assist Owner in identifying qualifying pollution control Equipment and will provide an electronic list of Owner’s retirement units that links and cross-references the Equipment to any pollution control permits covering the construction of the Facility. Any information provided to support such request shall be provided by Contractor to Owner on a Time and Materials Basis. Contractor shall maintain these records for the same time period specified in Section 25.6 .

ARTICLE 27 — DISPUTE RESOLUTION

     27.1 Claims. A “ Claim ” is any written demand by either Party (including any counterclaim, except as otherwise provided herein) seeking relief as a matter of right under or arising out of the transaction described in the Agreement, including but not limited to contract claims, tort claims that arise out of facts which could be used to plead either a tort or a contract claim, disputes over Change Orders or Force Majeure issues and claims for money or claims for extension of time. The procedures specified in this Article shall be the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of Claims; provided , however , that, notwithstanding anything in this Article to the contrary, a Party may file a complaint in the court described in Section 34.1 to seek injunctive relief, sequestration, garnishment, attachment, or an appointment of a receiver, and a Party may pursue its rights against third party insurers independently. However, despite seeking such equitable remedies or actions against insurers, the Parties will continue to

participate in good faith in, and be bound by, the dispute resolution procedures specified in this Article. Matters that do not fall within the definition of a Claim as set forth herein shall be resolved only by mutual agreement or by litigation, or by using an alternative dispute resolution process that is acceptable to both Parties. If there is a dispute concerning whether a matter is the appropriate subject of a Claim (as defined above), or whether the matter meets or does not meet the Threshold, or whether a matter should be resolved by litigation or otherwise, it shall be presented to the DRB for resolution. The decision of the DRB as to whether a matter is the appropriate subject matter of a Claim and/or meets or does not meet the Threshold shall be final and binding upon the Parties under the United States Arbitration Act 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq., and shall not be subject to review or appeal.

     27.2 Condition Precedent. Completion of the Dispute Resolution process concerning a Claim or expiration of the applicable time periods as described in this Article 27 is a condition precedent to the commencement of litigation in accordance with the provisions of Section 27.12 . Applicable time limits and statutes of limitation shall be tolled during the Dispute Resolution process set forth in this Article 27 , commencing on the date the Claim Notice (defined below) is received by the other Party, and ending on the date that the Dispute Resolution Board (“ DRB ”) issues its Award as provided in Section 27.7(d).

     27.3 Continuation of Obligations. At all times during the Dispute Resolution process or any subsequent litigation, neither Party shall use the fact that there is a dispute or litigation to justify non-performance or non-continuation of their respective obligations. However, to the extent a Party has the right to suspend performance or take other action under the terms of the Agreement (whether because of the counterparties contractual breach or otherwise), such right shall not be in any way be limited or curtailed by the existence of an ongoing dispute or litigation.

     27.4 Appointment of Dispute Resolution Board. A DRB having three members (each a “ Member ”) shall be appointed by the Parties as hereinafter provided.

          (a) On or before the earlier of (i) the date one (1) year after the Effective Date and (ii) the date thirty (30) Days after a Claim has been delivered by one Party to the other Party, Owner and Contractor shall each designate in writing to the other as nominees to the DRB one (1) individual meeting the qualifications set forth in Sections 27.5(a) and 27.5(c) . Owner and the Contractor shall submit complete disclosure statements for their nominees along with their written nomination. The disclosure statement shall include: (i) a complete resume of background and experience; (ii) a detailed description of all past, present, and planned future relationship(s) with the Owner or its Affiliates, or with Contractor Interests; (iii) a certification signed by the nominee stating that he or she meets the qualifications and requirements set forth in Section 27.5(c) ; and (iv) any other matter or interest that may in any way affect the nominee’s ability to be impartial.

          (b) Within fourteen (14) Days after receipt of the other Party’s designation of nominee and disclosure statement, Owner and Contractor shall each either approve or reject the other Party’s nominee. Approval of the other Party’s nominee shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that a nominee is rejected, the nominating Party shall submit another nomination to the other Party within fourteen (14) Days from the rejection, and the process

shall be repeated until two mutually acceptable DRB Members are named and accepted by both Parties. The two selected individuals shall constitute the first two Members of the DRB, and each of them shall be promptly notified of their selection in a single written document signed by Owner’s Project Director and Contractor’s Project Director.

          (c) Within thirty (30) Days after the first two (2) Members of the DRB are notified of their selection, the first two DRB Members shall designate in writing to the Parties a nominee to serve as a third DRB Member, who meets the qualifications set forth in Sections 27.5(b) and 27.5(c) . The first two (2) Members of the DRB shall submit a complete disclosure statement from the nominee along with their written nomination. The statement shall include: (i) a complete resume of background and experience; (ii) a detailed description of all past, present, and planned future relationship(s) with the first two DRB Members, the Owner or its Affiliates, and Contractor Interests; (iii) any other matter or interest that may in any way affect the ability of the nominee to be impartial; and (iv) a certification signed by the nominee stating that he or she meets the qualifications and requirements set forth in Section 27.5(c) . The person nominated by the first two DRB Members shall be subject to approval by both Parties, such approval or rejection to be supplied in writing within fourteen (14) Days from receipt of the written nomination and disclosure statement. Approval by each Party shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that the third proposed DRB Member is rejected by either Party, the first two (2) DRB Members shall submit another nomination to the Parties within fourteen (14) Days from the rejection, and the process shall be repeated until the third Member of the DRB is selected and approved by both Parties. The third DRB Member selected under this Section 27.4(c) shall serve as Chairperson of the DRB (the “ Chairperson ”).

          (d) It is specifically agreed and understood that each Party may have ex parte communications with the DRB Member it nominated for the sole purpose of discussing potential nominees for the position of DRB Chairperson.

          (e) As soon as practical following the selection and approval of all three (3) DRB Members, Owner and Contractor shall enter into separate written agreements with each DRB Member substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit X concerning the terms and conditions of their engagement as a DRB Member. Such written agreements shall include the following provisions: Each DRB Member shall be compensated solely on an hourly basis, plus actual expenses. Each DRB Member shall be required to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and shall be required to refrain from any employment by either Party during the term of this Agreement and for [***] thereafter. Each DRB Member shall be required to invoice Owner and Contractor separately for [***]of their fees and expenses, and Owner and Contractor shall have separate and independent liability to each DRB Member for [***] of each DRB Member’s fees and expenses.

          (f) Each agreement with each DRB Member shall have an initial term of twelve (12) months, with all three (3) agreements to expire on the same date. No later than forty-five (45) Days prior to the expiration of each DRB Member agreement, either the Owner or Contractor may elect in writing not to renew the terms of any one or more of the DRB Members (including the Chairperson). If one or more DRB Members’ term is not renewed by either Party, the other Party shall have seven (7) Days after receipt of the notifying Party’s notice of non-renewal of any DRB Member in which to elect not to renew either or both of the remaining DRB Member’s term(s).

          (g) Each non-renewed DRB Member shall be replaced in the same manner as he or she was initially selected; provided, however, that if three or more nominated persons are rejected by the other Party, either Party may ask CPR to appoint the replacement DRB Member. CPR may not nominate someone who was previously nominated and rejected by either Party. The appointment of replacement Members shall begin promptly and the Parties shall endeavor to appoint replacement Members prior to the expiration of the non-renewed Member’s term. The replacement Member’s agreement shall have the same term as the other two Members. Notwithstanding the forgoing, any DRB Member whose term has not been renewed shall, in cooperation with the pre-existing DRB Members, complete consideration of any Claims that were pending before the DRB at the time the non-renewal election was made, unless objected to by either Party in their notice of non-renewal. If either Party objects to further consideration of pending Claims in their notice of non-renewal of a Member, the newly constituted DRB shall consider the pending Claims de novo after appointment of the new Member.

          (h) If an election not to renew is not timely made by either Party as provided above, each DRB Member’s term shall automatically be renewed for an additional twelve (12) months. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a DRB Member’s agreement may be terminated by mutual agreement of the Parties by delivering a joint notice to the affected DRB Member, and the replacement member shall be appointed in the same manner as the terminated Member was appointed. In the event that a DRB Member resigns, becomes unable to perform his or her duties, or develops a conflict of interest that cannot be remedied and therefore must be replaced prior to expiration of his or her twelve month term, the replacement Member shall be appointed in the same manner as the replaced Member; provided, however, that if three or more nominated persons are rejected by the other Party, either Party may ask CPR to appoint the replacement DRB Member. CPR may not nominate anyone who was previously nominated and rejected by either Party. The replacement DRB Member shall serve out the remaining term of the DRB Member that he or she replaces. The process for appointment of any replacement DRB Member shall begin promptly upon determination of the need for a replacement, and the Parties shall endeavor to complete the replacement within thirty (30) Days.

          (i) The agreement with each DRB Member shall finally expire upon the later of (i) payment by Owner to Contractor of the Final Payment Invoice as provided in Section 8.2 of this Agreement, or (ii) resolution of any Claims outstanding at the time such payment is made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the agreements with each DRB Member shall remain effective, and this Article 27 shall remain effective, until all pending Claims (including any Claims associated with termination of this Agreement) are resolved.

     27.5 DRB Member Qualifications.

          (a) The two initial DRB Members selected by Owner and Contractor shall have at least ten (10) years of direct and substantial experience in engineering and/or construction fields, either in the nuclear power industry or other major, complex construction projects. Their experience must include the interpretation of contract documents, and the

analysis and resolution of contract claims. Persons who have primary professional qualifications in fields other than construction or engineering shall not be eligible for nomination by the Parties.

          (b) The Chairperson shall be a licensed attorney with at least fifteen (15) years legal experience in the nuclear power industry, or in connection with other major, complex construction projects, including the interpretation of contract documents, and the analysis and resolution of contract claims.

     27.6 Ongoing Duties of the DRB. During the term of this Agreement, and until the DRB Member agreements expire or are terminated, the DRB Members shall be responsible for the following ongoing duties:

          (a) The DRB Members shall keep abreast of the progress of the Work by reviewing written progress reports to be supplied to Owner and each DRB Member by Contractor’s Project Director as provided in Section 3.5(h)(i) of this Agreement. Should Owner believe that Contractor has misstated or misrepresented any facts or circumstances in its written progress reports, Owner may supply a written response or clarification to each DRB Member, provided that a copy of such response or clarification shall be provided to Contractor’s Project Director. Owner’s failure to supply a response or clarification shall not be deemed to be an admission as to the correctness of any matter stated in the progress report, and shall not be considered as a waiver of any right or defense by Owner.

          (b) Unless otherwise agreed by Owner and Contractor, the DRB shall visit the Site and Nearby Work Areas at intervals of not less than once every one hundred eighty (180) Days following the commencement of on-site construction. The timing of and agenda for each site visit shall be determined by the Chairperson after consultation with Owner and Contractor. The purpose of the regular site visit is for the DRB Members to become and remain acquainted with the progress of the Work, and of any actual or potential problems or Claims. The scope of the tasks and the amount of time to be spent by the DRB Members in becoming and/or remaining acquainted with the progress of the Work (not including time spent on actual disputes or Claims), shall be as specified by Contractor and Owner, but the amount of time shall not exceed thirty (30) Days per calendar year, unless Contractor and Owner have mutually agreed in writing to a greater time period. Site visits shall be attended by representatives of both Owner and Contractor. The site visits will be coordinated by Owner, Contractor and the Chairperson. Owner shall arrange for appropriate conference facilities, telephone and copying services. Ex parte contact of any nature with any Member is strictly prohibited, except as initiated by the Chairperson to schedule each site visit and to establish the agenda for each site visit.

          (c) Owner and Contractor shall furnish to the Chairperson, who shall then furnish to each DRB Member a copy of this Agreement, any amendments to this Agreement, updated Project Schedules, and any other project documents that the Chairperson may

reasonably request. All oral communications between the DRB Members and Owner or Contractor shall be made only when authorized representatives of both Parties are present (except as provided in Sections 27.4(d) and 27.6(b) ). All written communications by the DRB Members to either Owner or Contractor shall be sent through the Chairperson, and shall be concurrently copied to the other DRB Members and the other Party. All written communications from either Owner or Contractor to any DRB Member shall be sent through the Chairperson, and shall be concurrently copied to the other DRB Members and the other Party. Owner and Contractor shall not, and shall not permit their respective Personnel to request advice from or consult with any Member of the DRB regarding this Agreement, the Work, or any other subject other than in the normal course of the DRB’s official activities under this Agreement, or as mutually agreed by the Parties.

     27.7 Claims Process. In order to invoke the process described in this Article 27 , the Party asserting the Claim shall submit written notice of the Claim to the other Party’s Project Director (the “ Claim Notice ”). The Claim Notice shall include a reasonable written description of the matter in dispute, including dollar amounts, number of Days for any requested schedule extensions, or other specific relief that is the subject of the Claim, the factual and legal basis for the Claim, and a reference to any controlling or relevant Sections of this Agreement. The Claim Notice shall also include any relevant calculations and documents as necessary for the other Party to understand and evaluate the Claim. Beginning with receipt by the other Party of the Claim Notice, the dispute process will proceed as provided below:

          (a) Resolution by Negotiation . As an express condition precedent to the commencement of any further proceedings, the Parties agree to exercise diligent, good faith efforts to resolve the Claim. Once a Claim Notice is issued by either Party and received by the other Party, the following process shall be followed in an effort to amicably resolve the Claim:

     (i) Contractor’s Project Director and Owner’s Project Director shall meet within ten (10) Days from receipt of the Claim Notice. It shall be the responsibility of the claimant Party promptly to initiate and schedule this meeting. The Parties agree to share all non-privileged documentation that is relevant to settling the Claim, and may mutually agree to additional meetings as necessary for each Party fully to understand the Claim.

     (ii) If, after the Contractor’s Project Director and Owner’s Project Director meet (including any mutually agreed to additional meetings), the Claim remains unresolved, or if no such initial meeting takes place within such ten (10) Day period, then (A) either Party may at any time thereafter submit the Claim to the DRB in accordance with Section 27.7(c) and (B) an executive vice president (or equivalent) of each Party (which in the case of Contractor, may be such person from either or both Consortium Members) shall meet within ten (10) Days to attempt to resolve the Claim. It shall be the responsibility of the claimant Party promptly to initiate and schedule this meeting. Each executive vice president (or equivalent) may ask his or her Project Director or other support staff to attend this meeting as needed to fully present, respond to, and understand the Claim. The Parties may mutually agree to additional meetings as necessary for each Party fully to understand the Claim. If the Claim is submitted to the DRB before the

executive vice presidents of each Party have completed their discussions under Section 27.7 (a)(ii) , the Parties intend for the above described ten (10) Day executive vice president negotiation period to run concurrently with the first ten (10) Days of the fourteen (14) Day response period described in Section 27.7(c)(ii) .

     (iii) Settlement of any Claim during the process described in this Section 27.7(a) shall be memorialized by issuance of a Change Order, an amendment to the Agreement, or a separate written settlement agreement signed by the Parties. Nothing herein shall prohibit the Parties from entering into an interim written agreement with regard to a Claim concerning payment of monies, adjustment of the Project Schedule or otherwise, pending final resolution of the Claim as hereinafter provided. Any such interim agreement shall be without prejudice to the rights of either Party.

          (b) Optional Mediation . The Parties may mutually agree in writing to endeavor to resolve a Claim by non-binding mediation. In such case, the Parties shall select a mediator by mutual agreement, or failing mutual agreement, shall use a mediator appointed by CPR. Unless otherwise agreed, the mediation shall be completed within sixty (60) Days from the Day on which the Parties agree in writing to mediate. If the mediation does not resolve the Claim within said sixty (60) Day period, either Party may submit the Claim to the DRB in accordance with Section 27.7(c) . The mediation shall be held at the Site, unless another location is mutually agreed upon in the mediation agreement. Settlement of any Claim during any mediation shall be memorialized by issuance of a Change Order, an amendment to the Agreement, or a separate written settlement agreement signed by the Parties. Nothing herein shall prohibit the Parties from entering into an interim written agreement with regard to a Claim concerning payment of monies, adjustment of the Project Schedule or otherwise, pending final resolution of the Claim as hereinafter provided. Any such interim agreement is presumed to be without prejudice to the rights of either Party.

          (c) DRB Review Process . Any Claim that is not resolved as provided in Section 27.7(a)(i) or 27.7(b) may be submitted by either Party to the Chairperson of the DRB for consideration by the DRB as hereinafter provided. The matter will then be considered by the DRB as hereinafter provided.

     (i) Three copies of the original Claim Notice and any additional supplemental information and documents that the claimant Party wishes to provide (the “ Updated Claim Notice ”) shall be supplied to the DRB Chairperson, with a copy of the Updated Claim Notice to be simultaneously supplied to the other Party’s Project Director. The DRB Chairperson will then date stamp and distribute copies of the Updated Claim Notice to the other DRB members by next day delivery.

     (ii) Within fourteen (14) Days after receipt of the Updated Claim Notice, the responding Party shall submit to the DRB Chairperson three copies of its response to the Claim and any counterclaims (each of which must meet the definition of a Claim) it wishes the DRB to consider, with a copy of the response

and any counterclaims (including all accompanying correspondence and documents) to be simultaneously supplied to the other Party’s Project Director. Upon written request from the responding Party, the Chairperson may grant the responding Party a reasonable extension of time to prepare its response. A copy of any correspondence concerning an extension of time shall be promptly sent to the claimant Party. The DRB Chairperson will then date stamp and distribute copies of the response and any counterclaims to the other DRB members by next day delivery.

     (iii) Within fourteen (14) Days from receipt of a counterclaim (if any), the original claimant shall submit three copies of a detailed response to the counterclaim to the DRB Chairperson. A copy of the response shall be simultaneously supplied to the other Party’s Project Director. The DRB Chairperson will then date stamp and distribute copies of the response to the other DRB members by next day delivery. Upon written request from the original claimant, the Chairperson may grant the original claimant a reasonable extension of time to prepare its response. A copy of any correspondence concerning an extension of time shall be simultaneously sent to both Parties if sent by the DRB and simultaneously sent to the other Party and the DRB if sent by either Party.

     (iv) Within five (5) Days from the Chairperson’s receipt of the response to the Updated Claim Notice, or (if applicable) the original claimant Party’s response to any counterclaim, the DRB Chairperson shall set a date for an initial hearing. The initial hearing shall be set by the DRB Chairperson to begin within fourteen (14) Days from the Day that the hearing date is selected, subject to extension for good cause, as determined by the DRB Chairperson. Once the hearing date is selected, the Chairperson shall give Notice of the hearing date to both Parties. The hearings shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of Section 27.8 .

          (d) DRB Award .

     (i) After the hearing on a Claim and any counterclaims is concluded, the DRB shall meet to decide the Claim and any counterclaims and write its Award. All DRB deliberations shall be conducted in private and shall be confidential. The DRB shall make a concerted effort to reach a unanimous decision; provided however, that if a unanimous decision cannot be reached within the time limits prescribed herein, a decision shall be reached by majority vote. The DRB shall base each Award on the facts and evidence as presented by the Parties, the terms and conditions of the Agreement, and established principles of applicable Law. Each Award that includes a payment obligation by either Party shall state when such payment obligation was originally due and that interest is due from such original due date at a rate equal to the [***].

     (ii) The DRB shall endeavor to reduce its Award to writing within seven (7) Days after the hearings are concluded, and shall promptly submit its Award to the Owner’s Project Director and the Contractor’s Project Director at

approximately the same time, either by hand delivery or overnight courier. The Chairperson shall be responsible to maintain documentation that establishes the date of delivery of the written Award to each Party. The Parties expressly agree that the DRB shall not award either Party damages or allow credit for any damages that are barred by this Agreement.

     (iii) If the Award is binding (as hereinafter provided), or if Parties otherwise accept the findings and recommendations of the DRB, or should the Parties otherwise settle the Claim and any counterclaims as a result of the Award, then the Award, or acceptance or settlement shall be memorialized by issuance of a Change Order, an amendment to the Agreement, or a separate written settlement agreement signed by the Parties.

     (iv) For Claims and counterclaims that do not meet the Threshold, the related Award (regardless of the amount of such Award and regardless of the number of Days by which the Project Schedule is adjusted), shall be final and binding upon the Parties under the Unites States Arbitration Act 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq., and judgment thereon may be entered in the court described in Section 34.1 , and such Award shall not be subject to review or appeal.

     (v) For Claims and counterclaims that meet the Threshold: (A) the related Award (regardless of the amount of such Award and regardless of the number of Days by which the Project Schedule is adjusted), with regard to both the Claim and any counterclaims, shall not be binding on either Party and shall not be subject to any judicial process for enforcement, modification or review, except as provided in Section 27.12 , and (B) either Party may commence litigation in accordance with the provisions of Section 27.12 of this Agreement.

     27.8 DRB Hearing Rules and Procedures. DRB hearings shall be conducted in accordance with the following rules and procedures.

          (a) To the extent practicable, DRB hearings shall be conducted at the Site or at Owner’s facilities in the vicinity of the Site. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the Parties, the entire DRB shall participate in the resolution of the Claim. The DRB shall at all times be neutral, and shall act fairly and impartially as between Owner and Contractor.

          (b) The DRB shall establish appropriate rules and procedures for conducting hearings, consistent with the terms of this Article 27 . The DRB hearing rules and procedures shall be designed and implemented to make the hearings informal, efficient, and expeditious. The DRB shall provide the DRB’s rules and procedures to Owner and Contractor for comment within thirty (30) Days after the Chairperson is appointed. Owner and Contractor shall provide any comments on the proposed rules and procedures within thirty (30) Days from receipt. The DRB shall give due consideration to the comments of Owner and Contractor, and shall then issue final rules and procedures to Owner and Contractor no later than ninety (90) Days after the Chairperson is appointed.

          (c) The DRB shall have the authority to consolidate Claims and counterclaims for consideration if the Claims and/or counterclaims arise out of the same circumstances or involve similar factual or legal issues. The DRB also shall have the authority to bifurcate a Claim or counterclaim into a determination first as to merit and, second, if appropriate, a determination as to quantum. The amount of each Claim or counterclaim, as consolidated or bifurcated by the DRB, shall be used to determine the amount of each Claim or counterclaim for purposes of Section 27.7(d) .

          (d) The DRB may require the Parties to exchange documents relating to the Claim in advance of any hearing, and to produce documents or witnesses at any hearing. In no event shall either Party be requested or required to produce any privileged documents. A Party’s failure to comply with the DRB’s rules and procedures and other requirements may be considered by the DRB in making its Award.

          (e) The DRB shall have the authority to conduct its hearings and reach its decision in the manner it deems most appropriate. The Chairperson shall be responsible for directing the course of the hearings. The DRB shall not be bound by the judicial rules of evidence. However, it shall give due consideration to the source and credibility of any evidence that is presented.

          (f) Each Party shall make an initial presentation of its Claim, counterclaim or defense, and one or more rebuttals to any assertion by another Party, until the DRB determines that all aspects of the Claim have been covered adequately, and the Claim, counterclaim and each defense are fully understood. The DRB may limit the presentation of documents or oral statements when it deems them to be irrelevant or redundant. It is expected that the Chairperson will control the hearings and that the Members will guide the discussion of issues by asking frequent questions of the Parties in order to obtain expeditiously all information that the DRB deems necessary to make its Award. The Chairperson may permit questioning of one Party by another Party if he or she determines it would facilitate the presentation or clarification of an issue that is relevant to the Claim.

          (g) Each Party shall be represented in all DRB hearings by (a) its Project Director, and (b) one or more of its officers, employees or contractors who has actual, direct knowledge of or involvement in the Work that is the subject matter of the Claim.

          (h) Each Party may also be represented by legal counsel and/or independent experts. However, the Chairperson shall have the authority to exclude legal counsel or independent experts at hearings upon a determination that doing so will facilitate the presentation and understanding of the Claim. Unless the Chairperson expressly permits it, counsel may not (i) examine directly or by cross-examination any witness, (ii) object to questions or factual statements during the hearings, or (iii) make or argue legal motions. Counsel for both Parties may, upon request of the Chair, address legal issues that may arise. Counsel and independent experts shall not make statements of fact for or on behalf of a Party or witness and shall at all times comply with the instructions of the Chairperson concerning the orderly and expeditious handling of the DRB hearings. All other attendees at the DRB hearings shall be by permission of the Chairperson after hearing the objections of the Parties.

          (i) The Chairperson shall be responsible for maintaining the records of the DRB including Claim Notices, documentary submissions, minutes of hearings, records of who was present at each hearing, and the DRB’s Awards.

     27.9 Admissibility of DRB Award. None of the submittals of the Parties, the DRB’s records, nor any non-binding Award shall be admissible in any arbitration, or any administrative or judicial proceedings subsequent to the Claim resolution process set forth in this Article 27 . Neither Party shall attempt to introduce any such matters or materials into evidence in any subsequent administrative or judicial proceedings. Any binding Award shall be fully admissible in any administrative or judicial proceedings that may be brought to enforce such Award, or in response to any action brought by the other Party concerning such Claim or counterclaim. Should either Party breach this Section 27.9 , the other Party shall be entitled to recover any attorney fees and other costs spent in responding to and excluding such matters and materials from being introduced and accepted as evidence.

     27.10 Payment of Costs. The Parties shall each pay their own costs incurred under this Article 27 , except as otherwise provided in Section 27.9 . All fees and expenses of any mediator, CPR, and of the DRB shall be shared equally by the Parties.

     27.11 Review and Modification. At any time either Party may give Notice to the other Party that it is not satisfied with the DRB process as set forth in this Article 27 . The Project Directors for each Party shall enter into discussions as soon as practical in an effort to revise the process as necessary to insure equitable treatment of both Parties. Any revisions to the DRB process shall be incorporated into this Agreement by written amendment, and the DRB Members shall be notified of such revisions. Any changes to the DRB process or membership shall be promptly and jointly communicated to the DRB Members. The Parties may also consider other alternative dispute resolution processes that might be substituted for the DRB process. If the Parties are unable to agree on how the DRB process should be changed, and should they not agree to implement another alternative dispute resolution process, then the provisions of this Article 27 shall continue to apply without change.

     27.12 Unresolved Claims.

          (a) Should either Party not accept any non-binding Award, it shall give the other Party Notice that it intends to take further action as hereinafter provided. If such Notice is not given within thirty (30) Days from the date of receipt of the Award, then the Award shall become final, binding and enforceable under the Unites States Arbitration Act 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq., and judgment thereon may be entered in the court described in Section 34.1 , and such Award shall not be subject to review or appeal. Regardless of whether either Party objects to any Award, such Award shall be treated as binding until a final, non-appealable judgment to the contrary has been rendered by the applicable court, and any payments specified due by the DRB shall be paid within five (5) Business Days of the DRB’s Award. (e.g. If the DRB finds that a specified payment amount is due to Contractor and a specified change to the Project Schedule is appropriate, then such payment is due five (5) Business Days after receipt of such Award and the Project Schedule is immediately adjusted and shall be binding until such time as the DRB’s Award is overturned by a final non-appealable judgment.)

          (b) Upon Notice by either Party to the other as provided in Section 27.12(a) , such Party may commence litigation concerning the Claim or counterclaim. Any such litigation must be commenced within one (1) year from receipt of the Award. If litigation is not commenced by filing a complaint and issuing a summons within one (1) year, the Award shall become final, binding and enforceable. In the event that litigation is initiated within the time limits set forth above, the other Party shall have the right to litigate any counterclaim, or if the complaint that is filed is based on a counterclaim, the other Party shall have the right to litigate the Claim.

ARTICLE 28 — NOTICES

     All notices, communications, and approvals required or permitted to be given hereunder (“ Notice ”) (other than invoices, and routine correspondence and reports) shall be in writing and shall be valid and sufficient if delivered in person or dispatched by certified mail (return receipt requested), postage prepaid, in any post office in the United States or by any national overnight delivery service (return receipt requested). Notices delivered in person shall be effective as of the time of delivery, Notices by certified mail shall be effective three (3) Days after the date of postmark, and Notices sent by overnight delivery services shall be effective the Day after they are sent. Notices shall be addressed as follows:

Either Party may change the Person and/or address to which Notices are to be sent at any time by providing Notice of the change to the other Party in accordance with the provisions set forth above.

ARTICLE 29 — ASSIGNMENT

     Neither Party shall assign this Agreement in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Assignment for purposes of this Article 29 includes a merger, consolidation or similar transaction by either Party that results in the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its stock or assets to a third party. If any assignment by any Party of this Agreement of any right, interest or obligation therein requires the consent of, or notice to, any Government Authority, including the NRC, then such Party shall not effect such assignment without such consent of, or notice to, such Government Authority. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Owner may assign this Agreement in whole or in part, to a purchaser of the Facility or the Site in connection with sale (in whole or in part), merger, acquisition or consolidation provided the purchaser or entity resulting from the merger, acquisition or consolidation is a Qualified Replacement Owner, and Owner may grant a collateral security interest in the Facility and/or this Agreement to a Qualified Lender in connection with obtaining financing for the Facility without Contractor’s consent provided Owner has given Contractor at least thirty (30) Days Notice of such proposed sale, merger, acquisition, consolidation or grant of a security interest.

ARTICLE 30 — WAIVER

     The failure of either Party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of such provision nor shall it in any way affect the validity of this Agreement or the right of either Party to enforce each and every provision.

ARTICLE 31 — MODIFICATION

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of termination of the Agreement other than for Contractor’s breach, Owner may retain any Quality Assurance documentation that Contractor supplied to Owner in connection with associated Equipment, and Owner may convey such Quality Assurance documentation to any purchasers of the associated Equipment, provided that the recipient of any such Quality Assurance documentation agrees in writing to protect any Proprietary Data of Contractor and its Subcontractors as provided in Exhibit O to this Agreement.

All other provisions and obligations under this Agreement shall not survive termination or cancellation of this Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent applicable statutes, regulations or other law requires that a particular provision of this Agreement survive or not survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement, then the DRB or the applicable court shall apply such statute, regulation or law and determine whether such provision does in fact survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 33 — TRANSFER

     Prior to the removal of any Equipment furnished hereunder from the Facility, except temporarily for repair or permanently for disposal, Owner shall obtain written assurances from the transferee of limitation of and protection against liability following the proposed removal or transfer at least equivalent to that afforded Contractor and Contractor Interests under the provisions of this Agreement. Removal or transfer contrary to the provisions of this Article shall without waiving any legal or equitable rights of Contractor, make Owner the indemnitor of Contractor and Contractor Interests against any liabilities incurred by Contractor and Contractor Interests in excess of those that would have been incurred had no such transfer taken place.

     34.1 Governing Law.
