not latent or concealed; disposal, handling and storage of materials;
availability and quality of labor, water and electric power, climatic
conditions, tides and ground water; and equipment, machinery and
materials required by CONTRACTOR prior to and during performance of
the WORK. The failure of CONTRACTOR to acquaint itself with these
conditions will not entitle CONTRACTOR to any additional compensation
and will not relieve it from the responsibility for meeting the Scheduled
Completion Date or the Critical Milestone Dates.
SAUDI ARAMCO shall, in accordance with and subject to the terms and
conditions of this Contract, and, in particular, in conformity with Schedule "B":
7.2 Obtain all permits, licenses, and other governmental authorizations which
must be obtained in SAUDI ARAMCO's name and which are necessary

8.4 The WORK Schedule shall be based upon and incorporate the Critical
Milestone Dates and the Scheduled Completion Date, and shall be
regularly updated or revised and resubmitted to SAUDI ARAMCO for
review so that it accurately reflects actual and forecasted WORK
progress, including the impact of executed Change Orders and
Amendments. CONTRACTOR shall perform the WORK in
accordance with the latest SAUDI ARAMCO-reviewed version of the
WORK Schedule, which shall serve as the basis for WORK progress
reporting and schedule controlling and forecasting, including the
determination of CONTRACTOR’s entitlement, if any, to a time
extension under Paragraph 8.9.
8.9 The Critical Milestone Dates and Scheduled Completion Date shall be
adjusted only when necessary to reflect any actual delay in the
performance of a work activity in the critical path either occasioned by
force majeure (as defined in Paragraph 26), or for which SAUDI
ARAMCO is responsible under this Contract. The Critical Milestone
Dates and Scheduled Completion Date shall not be adjusted for delay
if the affected activity is not in the critical path and the duration of the
delay does not exceed the activity’s total float as reflected in the latest
reviewed WORK Schedule. The Critical Milestone Dates shall be
adjusted only by Change Order or Amendment and the Scheduled
Completion Date shall be adjusted only by Amendment.

9. WORK COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION AND COMPLETION
9.1 Except for WORK directly related to the actual physical installation of the
FACILITIES, CONTRACTOR shall commence the WORK promptly upon
the effective date of this Contract. CONTRACTOR shall commence the
remaining WORK promptly upon the receipt of a written "Notice to
Proceed" from the Company Representative, which notice shall, provided
CONTRACTOR has complied with all other contractual obligations, be
issued not later than the date specified in Schedule "B". CONTRACTOR
shall prosecute WORK completion with diligence and dispatch so that the
Critical Milestone Dates and Scheduled Completion Date are met and
Exception Items are promptly completed or corrected.
9.2 CONTRACTOR's failure to comply with Paragraph 9.1 above shall, unless
otherwise excused pursuant to this Contract, constitute a substantial
breach of this Contract; provided, however, that failure to achieve any
Critical Milestone Date shall not constitute a substantial breach if
CONTRACTOR promptly develops a revised WORK Schedule which
SAUDI ARAMCO approves and to which CONTRACTOR conforms within
seven (7) calendar days after receipt of SAUDI ARAMCO's approval (or
such longer period as SAUDI ARAMCO may authorize in writing).
9.3 "Mechanical Completion" shall be achieved for the FACILITIES, or any
separable portion thereof, when:
9.3.1 The FACILITIES, or portion thereof, are constructed in strict
compliance with all requirements of this CONTRACT, including
the successful completion of all required inspection, testing, and
precommissioning;
9.3.2 All utility and electric power systems are fully operational;
9.3.3 The WORK Site is in a clean and safe condition, with all surface
and subsea construction debris, equipment, and excess materials
removed; and
9.3.4 SAUDI ARAMCO has issued a Mechanical Completion
Acceptance Notice ("MCAN") for the FACILITIES, or a partial
MCAN for any portion thereof.
9.4 Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date CONTRACTOR anticipates
Mechanical Completion will be achieved, CONTRACTOR shall notify
Company Representative of the anticipated date. When CONTRACTOR
considers that Mechanical Completion has been achieved, SAUDI
ARAMCO will inspect the FACILITIES as soon as practicable. If the
WORK is not in accord with this Contract, SAUDI ARAMCO shall so notify
CONTRACTOR, specifying the respects in which the WORK is deficient,
and CONTRACTOR shall promptly remedy the deficiency at his expense.
A-11
MP-IK-LSTK 1/91
Revised 11/97
9.5 SAUDI ARAMCO may, at its option, issue a MCAN or partial MCAN with a
list of items ("Exception Items") which are incomplete, defective or
otherwise not in accordance with this Contract and which do not affect
safe and orderly start-up and operation of the FACILITIES. The issuance
of such a notice shall not relieve CONTRACTOR of its obligation to
remobilize, if necessary, and complete or correct such items at no cost to
SAUDI ARAMCO, or preclude SAUDI ARAMCO from adding additional
Exception Items.
9.7 SAUDI ARAMCO shall have the right to take possession of, and use for
any purpose, any part of the FACILITIES at any time prior to Mechanical
Completion after so notifying CONTRACTOR. Such taking possession or
use shall not be deemed to be SAUDI ARAMCO's acknowledgement of
Mechanical Completion and shall in no way limit or waive
CONTRACTOR's obligations. If such taking possession or use affects
CONTRACTOR's costs or the time required for completing the WORK,
SAUDI ARAMCO will initiate an Amendment or Change Order making any
required adjustment to the Critical Milestone Dates, the Scheduled
Completion Date, or the compensation due CONTRACTOR. However,
should such taking possession or use result from CONTRACTOR's failure
to prosecute the WORK according to the WORK Schedule,
CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to any such adjustment.
10. CHANGES
A-12
MP-IK-LSTK 1/91
Revised 11/97
10.2 In addition to describing the Change, a Change Order shall include:
10.2.1 Any adjustment in the Critical Milestone Dates resulting from the
Change; and
10.2.2 The lump sum price of or the basis for determining any increase
in the compensation due CONTRACTOR or credit due SAUDI
ARAMCO as a result of the Change, if any.
10.3 If a Change may result in a request for an increase in the compensation
due CONTRACTOR, or a request for an adjustment to the Scheduled
Completion Date or Critical Milestone Dates, CONTRACTOR shall
promptly notify the Company Representative orally, followed by prompt
written notification within five (5) working days after SAUDI ARAMCO
communicates the Change. In no event shall CONTRACTOR proceed
with the WORK involved in the Change without a Change Order or an
Amendment or an express written direction to proceed from SAUDI
ARAMCO pursuant to Paragraph 10.5 below. If CONTRACTOR proceeds
with the additional WORK involved in such a Change without a Change
Order or an Amendment, CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to any
additional compensation for the WORK performed nor to any adjustment
of the Scheduled Completion Date and/or any of the Critical Milestone
Dates as a result of the Change and CONTRACTOR shall be deemed to
have irrevocably waived any claim in relation thereto.
10.4 Compensation for WORK performed under a Change Order, or credit to
SAUDI ARAMCO for WORK deleted by a Change Order shall be
calculated and paid or offset in accordance with Schedule "C".
10.5 Before SAUDI ARAMCO and CONTRACTOR agree to the amount of
the compensation due to CONTRACTOR or credit due to SAUDI
ARAMCO and/or adjustments to the Scheduled Completion Date
and/or Critical Milestone Dates, or agree whether direction from
SAUDI ARAMCO constitutes a Change, SAUDI ARAMCO may direct
CONTRACTOR, in writing, to proceed with the WORK as changed and
CONTRACTOR shall proceed with the WORK. CONTRACTOR's
performance of such WORK shall not prejudice its position that such
direction constitutes a Change, that the Scheduled Completion Date
and/or Critical Milestone Dates should be adjusted, or that
CONTRACTOR should receive additional compensation for such
WORK; or SAUDI ARAMCO' position that it is entitled to a credit or
that CONTRACTOR is not entitled to additional compensation or an
extension of time or that the direction does not represent a Change in
the WORK. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with
Paragraph 19 of this Schedule “A”.
A-13
MP-IK-LSTK 1/91
Revised 5/11
CONTRACTOR shall not comply with verbal requests directed at changes
in the WORK. If CONTRACTOR believes that any verbal notice or
instruction received from SAUDI ARAMCO will involve an adjustment to
the compensation due CONTRACTOR, or a request for an adjustment to
the Scheduled Completion Date or Critical Milestone Dates, or integrity of
the WORK, it shall require that the notice or instruction be given in writing
and shall comply with the provisions of Paragraphs 10.1 and 10.2 of this
Schedule. Any costs incurred by CONTRACTOR to perform verbal
changes shall be at the CONTRACTOR’s expense, and CONTRACTOR
shall waive any and all rights to claim from SAUDI ARAMCO for such
costs or additional time to perform the WORK as a result of compliance by
CONTRACTOR with such verbal changes.
10.6 CONTRACTOR shall review and evaluate the SAUDI ARAMCO-provided
Preliminary Design, the FACILITIES performance specifications, and the
other drawings, specifications and standards referenced in this Contract
to identify possible cost reductions. In the event CONTRACTOR identifies
and documents a proposal (“Proposal”) which will result in a net reduction
in SAUDI ARAMCO’s total cost for the design, procurement and
construction of the FACILITIES (“Net Cost Reduction”) and which requires
a Change Order to implement, SAUDI ARAMCO may, in its sole
discretion, issue a Change Order implementing the Proposal.
CONTRACTOR’s Proposal shall contain at least a description of the
existing and proposed Contract requirements and an assessment of the
consequences of implementing the Proposal, including an estimate of the
Net Cost Reduction. Should SAUDI ARAMCO determine, in its sole
discretion, to implement the Proposal, the Change Order price shall
include the compensation due CONTRACTOR or credit due SAUDI
ARAMCO as a result of the Change, plus compensation equal to one-half
(fifty percent) of the absolute value of the Net Cost Reduction. SAUDI
ARAMCO’s decision to adopt or reject the Proposal shall be final and
binding on both parties. This Paragraph 10.6 shall not apply to Proposals
that involve the substitution of SAUDI ARAMCO-supplied materials for
CONTRACTOR-supplied materials.
10.7 If SAUDI ARAMCO selects the compensation method described in
Paragraph 2.2.1 of Schedule “C” as the basis for compensation,
CONTRACTOR shall provide SAUDI ARAMCO, along with the
Change Order Price Proposal, a sufficiently detailed breakdown of the
proposed Change Order Price along with copies of all related
Vendor/Subcontractor quotations for the materials/equipment added or
any amount of discount or rebate CONTRACTOR would receive from
Vendor(s)/Subcontractor(s), directly or indirectly, for the said
materials/equipment and the cost to be ultimately incurred by
CONTRACTOR, directly or indirectly, after all direct and indirect
A-14
MP-IK-LSTK 1/91
Revised 5/11
discounts and/or rebates to CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR shall
make available all related records and documents for SAUDI
ARAMCO review.
10.8.2 On or before the tenth day of each Gregorian month during the
progress of the Change, CONTRACTOR shall separately
invoice SAUDI ARAMCO for a proportionate part of the Change
Order Price attributable to work on such Change completed
during the preceding month and not included on previous
invoices. CONTRACTOR shall submit a statement with its
invoice signed by Company Representative, which in
reasonable detail, estimates and itemizes the percentage of the
Change completed during the preceding month. In case of
disagreement, Company Representative’s determination as to
the percentage of work on the Change completed shall control.

supplied materials which have not been modified, altered or refurbished
by CONTRACTOR, or unsuitability or defect in COMPANY-Supplied
Licensor Data or Licensor process design; provided, however, that such
unsuitability or defect was not reasonably detectable by CONTRACTOR.
11.2 Any reproducible or documentable recurring error which causes the
Computer System not to operate in accordance with the requirements of
Schedule "B" shall constitute a breach of warranty hereunder. A
reproducible error is defined as a chain of events that can be executed
upon request. A documentable recurring error is an error that appears
repetitively but cannot be reproduced upon request. For purposes of this
warranty, SAUDI ARAMCO will maintain a log in which failures;
descriptions of failures, time and the observing person are recorded.
When a given failure has occurred three (3) times, it shall be deemed a
documentable recurring error.
11.3 If at any time during a one (1) year period after CONTRACTOR corrects
or completes all Exception Items, if any, relating to a MCAN or partial
MCAN, it is discovered that the FACILITIES covered by that MCAN or
partial MCAN, or any of their constituent parts or units, or the incorporated
CONTRACTOR supplied materials, do not meet the foregoing warranties,
CONTRACTOR shall, at no cost to SAUDI ARAMCO, promptly perform or
arrange for the performance of any remedial work required to make the
FACILITIES conform to such warranties, including remobilization to the
WORK Site, the removal of non-conforming WORK, the purchase of
replacement materials originally supplied by CONTRACTOR, and
reinstallation as may be necessary. With respect to any Computer
System, CONTRACTOR's remedial work shall not be considered prompt
unless CONTRACTOR provides a qualified service representative at the
installation site within twenty four (24) hours, after receipt of the
necessary travel authorizations and Saudi Arab Visa, plus reasonable
travel time not exceeding two (2) days if the service representative is not
in Saudi Arabia, of CONTRACTOR's receipt of SAUDI ARAMCO's written
notice of warranty claim.
11.4 If CONTRACTOR fails to start or arrange for the start of any remedial
work promptly after receipt of notice from SAUDI ARAMCO to do so, or
fails to perform or cause the performance of such work continuously and
with due diligence to completion, SAUDI ARAMCO may, at its option and
without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which may be available
to it, perform such work either itself or through others at CONTRACTOR's
expense.
11.5 If CONTRACTOR performs remedial work, the provisions of Paragraph 11
shall apply to such work for a period of one (1) year from the date it is
completed. However, the total warranty period shall in no case be
extended beyond two (2) years from the date of Project Completion.
11.6 CONTRACTOR, for SAUDI ARAMCO's benefit, shall obtain a warranty
pass-through statement from its vendors stating substantially that:
A-16
MP-IK-LSTK 1/91
Revised 5/11
A-17
MP-IK-LSTK 1/91
Revised 5/11
"Seller and Buyer understand that Buyer is contracting with Seller for the
purchase of goods hereunder for ultimate transfer to, and use by, the
Saudi Arabian Oil Company (SAUDI ARAMCO) in Saudi Arabia.
Therefore, Seller agrees that, in any event, all rights of Buyer for any
failure to meet specifications, or for any other breach of warranty shall run
to the benefit of and be fully enforceable by SAUDI ARAMCO."
12. STANDARDS, DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS
12.1 CONTRACTOR shall keep at the WORK Site a copy of all drawings,
specifications and standards for the FACILITIES. Anything mentioned in
specifications and not shown on drawings, or shown on drawings and not
mentioned in specifications, shall be of like effect as if shown or
mentioned in both. In case of conflict between or within the drawings,
specifications or standards, the matter shall be promptly submitted to
Company Representative, and subject to Paragraph 2.1 of this Schedule,
the conflict shall be resolved in accordance with the following order of
precedence:
12.1.1 FACILITIES performance specifications;
12.1.2 SAUDI ARAMCO-provided Waivers;
12.1.3 SAUDI ARAMCO Engineering Standards (SAES's);

12.1.17 SAUDI ARAMCO-provided Licensor Data; and
12.1.18 Other drawings, specifications or standards referenced in the
Contract. If the conflict is between or within the documents in
this Paragraph 12.1.18, the most stringent drawing,
specification or standard shall control.
12.2 Dimensions and locations of existing and proposed installations and
appurtenances shown on the SAUDI ARAMCO-provided drawings are
approximate only. All dimensions and locations relating to existing and
proposed installations shall be checked by CONTRACTOR at the WORK
Site before starting the WORK.
12.3 During the performance of the WORK, Contractor shall maintain a set
of construction drawings to reflect the current as-built status of the
FACILITIES. Following Mechanical Completion, CONTRACTOR shall
furnish to SAUDI ARAMCO one set of final as-built Computer Aided
Drafting Design (CADD) drawings in full compliance with the SAUDI
ARAMCO Drafting Manuals. CONTRACTOR shall provide such
additional types and quantities of drawings as may be specified in
Schedule “B”.
13. SUBCONTRACTS
13.1 Subcontracts for the performance of any portion of the WORK shall be
procured only after CONTRACTOR has received written authorization
from SAUDI ARAMCO that CONTRACTOR may subcontract that portion
of the WORK. If not accomplished prior to the effective date of this
Contract, then promptly thereafter, CONTRACTOR shall prepare and
submit to the Company Representative for SAUDI ARAMCO's approval
CONTRACTOR's subcontracting plan specifically identifying those
portions of the WORK which CONTRACTOR proposes to subcontract. In
procuring subcontracts, CONTRACTOR shall select subcontractors solely
on the basis of financial and technical considerations.

and omissions of all its subcontractors at whatever tier, and their
personnel. CONTRACTOR shall manage, schedule and coordinate the
work of all its subcontractors so as to meet the Scheduled Completion
Date and Critical Milestone Dates. Nothing in this Contract shall create
any contractual relation between SAUDI ARAMCO and any subcontractor
unless SAUDI ARAMCO elects to exercise its rights under Paragraph
13.4. SAUDI ARAMCO's approval to subcontract any portion of the
WORK and SAUDI ARAMCO's non-objection to CONTRACTOR's
subcontractor selection shall not relieve CONTRACTOR of any of its
obligations under this Contract.

CONTRACTOR or its subcontractors or the employees or agents
of any of them having broad supervision or direction of the
WORK to observe and exercise the standard of care necessary
to assure that the original WORK was performed in accordance
with sound and generally accepted engineering and construction
practices. To the extent that SAUDI ARAMCO is not liable for the
loss, damage or destruction under Paragraph 15.1.4,
CONTRACTOR shall carry out the reconstruction, repair or
replacement work directed by SAUDI ARAMCO at
CONTRACTOR's sole cost and expense.

results from CONTRACTOR's negligence, or the negligence of
CONTRACTOR's subcontractors, or the personnel or agents of
any of them.
15.1.6 Upon the payment of any claim for which SAUDI ARAMCO is
liable hereunder, SAUDI ARAMCO shall be subrogated to all the
rights and remedies of CONTRACTOR arising out of such claim.
The word "occurrence" shall mean any one loss, disaster or
casualty or series of losses, disasters or casualties arising out of
one event. In respect of the perils of flood, earthquake or
windstorm, one event shall be construed to be all losses arising
during a continuous period of 72 hours.
15.1.7 SAUDI ARAMCO assumes liability for and shall indemnify and
hold CONTRACTOR harmless against loss of, damage to, or
destruction of the FACILITIES, materials incorporated into the
FACILITIES, and materials to be incorporated into the
FACILITIES (all of which are collectively referred to hereafter as
“Construction Materials”) to the extent such loss, destruction or
damage is not recoverable under the CONTRACTOR’s or its
subcontractors’ insurance coverage, if such loss, damage or
destruction occurs in the Middle East and is directly or indirectly
caused by or results from: war; invasion; acts of foreign enemies;
hostilities (whether war be declared or not); military or usurped
power; or confiscation, nationalization, requisition or destruction
of or damage to the Construction Materials by or under the order
of any government or public or local authority. In the event of a

Construction Materials lost, damaged or destroyed with
Construction Materials of like kind and quality (meaning
alternative or substitute by equivalent as distinguished from
reproduction or identical) without deduction for depreciation, but
not exceeding the actual expenditure for repair or replacement. If
repair or replacement is not made within two years from the date
of loss, damage or destruction, the value of such Construction
Materials shall be the actual cash value at the time and place of
loss. Construction Materials shall be considered to be lost if
confiscation, nationalization, or requisition exceeds twelve (12)
continuous months.

Software initially and specifically developed by CONTRACTOR or its
subcontractors or suppliers, under this Contract shall at all times be the
property of SAUDI ARAMCO. SAUDI ARAMCO shall have the unlimited
and unrestricted right to use or possess such material for whatever

SAUDI ARAMCO. Accordingly, CONTRACTOR shall execute any patent
applications, assignments, releases, plans, drawings, papers, and/or
instruments which SAUDI ARAMCO may require in order to fully enjoy the
provisions of this Paragraph; provided, however, that SAUDI ARAMCO
shall reimburse CONTRACTOR for any costs incurred by CONTRACTOR
in assisting SAUDI ARAMCO in the perfection of the latter's rights
hereunder. CONTRACTOR represents that all CONTRACTOR
personnel, including agency personnel, and the personnel of its
subcontractors have agreed to assign to CONTRACTOR all discoveries,
inventions and improvements made.
18.5 Except as authorized in writing by the disclosing party, neither party to this
Contract nor their personnel, agents or any subcontractor shall duplicate,

materials, CONTRACTOR shall defend, indemnify, and hold SAUDI
ARAMCO harmless from any losses, expenses or damages arising out of
or incurred by reason of any actual or alleged infringement of any patent,
copyright or trade secret. If SAUDI ARAMCO’s right to use such designs,
drawings, calculations, Software, or materials is enjoined as a result of a
claim of infringement, CONTRACTOR shall either procure for SAUDI
ARAMCO the right to use the infringing item, replace the infringing item
with a substantially compatible and functionally equivalent non-infringing
item, or remove the infringing item and compensate SAUDI ARAMCO for
the costs associated with procuring a suitable substitute.
18.8 SAUDI ARAMCO warrants that the use by CONTRACTOR in its
performance of the WORK of the technical data, standards, specifications
and similar information furnished by SAUDI ARAMCO to CONTRACTOR
for use in accomplishing the WORK shall not infringe any valid patent,

hold CONTRACTOR harmless from any losses, expenses or damages
arising out of or incurred by reason of any actual or alleged infringement

performing work under this Contract which is given access to any
technical data furnished by SAUDI ARAMCO or its affiliated companies.

a position within SAUDI ARAMCO at the level of ‘”department head”’ or
higher. The restriction pertaining to former employees shall be valid for a
period of two (2) years following the time that such individual is no longer
an employee of SAUDI ARAMCO. Exceptions to this restriction may be
granted in writing by the SAUDI ARAMCO Conflict of Interest & Business
Ethics Committee.
21.1 SAUDI ARAMCO may at any time, with or without cause, suspend
performance of the WORK or any part thereof by giving CONTRACTOR
prior notice specifying the WORK to be suspended and the effective date
of such suspension. CONTRACTOR shall cease all activity on
suspended WORK on the effective date of suspension but shall continue
to prosecute any unsuspended WORK. CONTRACTOR shall take all
actions necessary to maintain and safeguard the suspended WORK.
SAUDI ARAMCO shall not be liable for loss of anticipated profits or for
any damages or any other costs incurred with respect to suspended
WORK during the period of suspension, provided that when the
suspension is without cause, SAUDI ARAMCO shall pay reasonable,
auditable and verifiable costs which:
21.1.1 Are incurred for the purpose of safeguarding the WORK and
materials and equipment in transit to or at the WORK Site;
21.1.2 Are incurred for such CONTRACTOR or subcontractor personnel,

the WORK and of reassembling personnel and equipment.

of the suspended WORK by giving notice to CONTRACTOR specifying
the part of WORK to be resumed and the effective date of the resumption.

and verifiable cost of such subcontractor or vendor attributable to
terminated WORK. Specifically, compensation in the nature of Paragraph

subcontractors or vendor. The Termination Compensation due under
Paragraph 22.2 less reductions and exclusions under this Paragraph
22.3, shall in no event exceed the Contract Price less amounts previously
paid to CONTRACTOR under Schedule "C".

23.2 On the day on which termination under Paragraph 23.1 becomes
effective, CONTRACTOR shall stop performance of the terminated
WORK. SAUDI ARAMCO shall retain all amounts which are then due and
payable to CONTRACTOR plus reimbursements due CONTRACTOR for
its reasonable and auditable costs incurred in the performance of the
WORK required by Paragraph 25. If the cost to SAUDI ARAMCO of
completing the terminated WORK is greater than the compensation
SAUDI ARAMCO would have paid CONTRACTOR for completing such
WORK pursuant to this Contract, then SAUDI ARAMCO shall deduct the
difference from the retained amounts. If the difference exceeds the
retained amounts, CONTRACTOR shall pay SAUDI ARAMCO that
difference less the retained amounts.
CONTRACTOR shall minimize all costs to SAUDI ARAMCO resulting from such
termination or suspension. Unless otherwise directed in writing by SAUDI
ARAMCO, CONTRACTOR shall enter into no further contracts or other
obligations, and immediately make every reasonable effort to terminate or
suspend contracts or other obligations, other than as may be required to
complete those portions of the WORK not suspended or terminated. If SAUDI
ARAMCO so directs, CONTRACTOR shall execute and deliver all documents
required to fully vest in SAUDI ARAMCO CONTRACTOR's rights in contracts
and other obligations. CONTRACTOR shall take any action that may be

preservation of WORK in progress.
26. FORCE MAJEURE
26.1 If either party is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by force majeure to
perform its obligations under this Contract, it is agreed that performance
of such obligations by such party, so far as they are affected by force
majeure, shall be excused from the inception of any such inability until it is
corrected, but for no longer period. The party claiming an inability to
perform shall, immediately after the occurrence of the force majeure
event, notify the other party orally of the nature, date of inception and
expected duration of the force majeure and the extent to which it will
prevent the party giving such notice from performing its obligations under
this Contract. The party giving notice shall confirm such notification in
writing as soon as practicable. The party claiming inability to perform
shall promptly correct such inability to the extent it may be corrected
through the exercise of reasonable diligence.
26.2 The term "force majeure" as used in this Contract shall mean any act,
event, cause or occurrence rendering a party unable to perform its
obligation which is not within the reasonable control and not caused by
the negligence or fault of such party.
26.3 The following are specifically excluded as force majeure and shall not
constitute a basis for claims for WORK Schedule extensions or costs, or
both, under this Contract:
The exclusions in Paragraphs 26.3.1 and 26.3.2 shall not apply, however,
where a subcontractor or supplier (i) is unable to perform due to force
majeure as described in Paragraph 26.2 and (ii) an acceptable alternative
source of service, equipment or materials is unavailable.
26.4 Should the WORK be delayed for more than forty-five (45) consecutive
days as a result of force majeure, SAUDI ARAMCO shall either suspend
the WORK affected pursuant to Paragraph 21 or terminate this Contract
A-47
MP-IK-LSTK 1/91
Revised 7/12
or the portion of the WORK involved pursuant to Paragraph 22. Except
for certain costs incurred after the forty-fifth (45th) consecutive day as a
result of termination or suspension of the WORK as specifically provided
in Paragraphs 21 and 22, and except as provided for in Paragraph 14,
neither party shall be liable to the other for costs incurred by the other as
a result of any delay or failure to perform arising out of force majeure.
Certain sections of this Contract may not have been translated into Arabic at the
date of signature. Except where expressly stated otherwise, it is the intention of
the parties that these sections be promptly translated into Arabic and
incorporated into the Contract. Until such time as they are translated, the
English text of those provisions shall constitute the sole statement of the
agreement between the parties in regard to the matters covered therein.

Contract may neither be assigned nor transferred, either in whole or in
part, by CONTRACTOR without first obtaining the written consent of
SAUDI ARAMCO.
30.2 No benefit or right accruing to either party under this Contract shall be
waived unless the waiver is reduced to writing and signed by both parties
to this Contract. The waiver, in one instance, of any act, condition or
requirement stipulated in this Contract shall not constitute a continuing
waiver or a waiver of any other act, condition or requirement or a waiver
of the same act, condition or requirement in other instances, unless
specifically so stated.
30.3 Failure of any party to exercise any of its rights under this Contract shall in
no way constitute a waiver of those rights, nor shall such failure excuse
the other party from any of its obligations under this Contract. Neither
COMPANY's exercise of any of its rights of review, inspection or testing,
nor CONTRACTOR's submission or updating, or COMPANY's review,
revision, certification, acceptance or approval, of documents prepared by
CONTRACTOR, shall have the effect of amending, modifying, or limiting
in any way the CONTRACTOR's obligations under this Contract, nor the
effect of acknowledging or warranting that the designs, plans, or WORK
Schedules contained in such documents are feasible or achievable.

be performed, at CONTRACTOR's expense.
30.9 Where this Contract requires compliance with applicable SAUDI ARAMCO
specifications, standards, manuals, procedures, and similar documents
which were developed by SAUDI ARAMCO's predecessor, the Arabian

procedures and similar documents.
31.1 CONTRACTOR shall submit a letter with each invoice to the Company
Representative, in a form acceptable to SAUDI ARAMCO, certifying
that all of CONTRACTOR’s personnel have been paid their salaries
and benefits for the preceding month.
31.3 In the event that CONTRACTOR fails to submit the letter or fails to
meet his obligations to his personnel, SAUDI ARAMCO shall consider
this a substantial breach of Contract. SAUDI ARAMCO shall, in
addition to other remedies at law or specified in this contract, retain all
amounts that are due and owing to CONTRACTOR under this contract
between the parties until the breach of Contract has been remedied.
