Majeure Event and its effect on the performance of obligations or the delivery of
services lies with the Party that issued the notice of Force Majeure.

25.4. Termination. If the Force Majeure Event persists for more than 12 months, then
TUKOD shall be entitled to terminate the EPC Agreement.

25.6. Damage Caused by Force Majeure. All insurance proceeds in respect of


insurances from physical damage received by or payable under any insurance policy
shall be applied to the damage caused by Force Majeure.

25.7. Continuous Performance.

40
a. Upon the occurrence of any Force Majeure Event, TUKOD shall continue to be
responsible for performing such of its obligations as are still possible to be
performed, whether wholly or partially. Irrespective of the occurrence of a Force
Majeure Event, TUKOD shall exercise diligence to ensure the safety of the Works.

b. If TUKOD is completely prevented from performing its obligations under the EPC
Agreement during the Force Majeure Event, then TUKOD shall commence the
performance of the obligations upon conclusion of the Force Majeure Event.

Majeure or such excess time as may be agreed between the Parties or
determined by the Independent Consultant.

25.6. Non-Insurable Force Majeure Event

occurrence of such Force Majeure Event, TUKOD shall have the right to
terminate the EPC Agreement by giving 60 days’ notice to PDA.

b. Within a period of 60 days of the receipt of the termination notice from TUKOD,
if PDA, or the Independent Consultant on behalf of PDA, has determined that
restoration of the NGAC would be technically feasible and economically viable,
PDA may, at its discretion, provide TUKOD the FM Restitution Amount. Once an
agreement has been reached on the FM Restitution Amount, TUKOD shall not be
entitled to terminate the EPC Agreement. Subject to one-time payment of the FM
Restitution Amount by PDA, TUKOD shall carry out the Works in accordance
with the EPC Agreement.

c. TUKOD shall be entitled to time extension equal to the period of the Force
Majeure or such excess time as may be agreed between the Parties or

c. its estimate of the impact of the Delay on the probability that the Works
Timetable will be met; and

Contractor.

26.2. Communication of Delay. TUKOD shall provide regular updates to PDA, no less
frequently than monthly, if applicable, of any occurrence of Delay including as to the
effects of the incident, the likely Delay to be caused thereby, and the steps that it is

the consequences of a Delay and resume performance of its obligations as soon as
practicable.

26.4. Compensation for Delay.

a. Subject to a curing period to be stipulated in the EPC Agreement, in case of any


Delay attributable to TUKOD (i.e., a Delay that is not attributable to Force
Majeure Event or MAGA), PDA shall be entitled to receive liquidated damages
from TUKOD in an amount, equal to at least one tenth (1 /10) of 1% of the cost
of the unperformed portion of the works for every day of delay.

b. Should TUKOD fail to pay the above liquidated damages within 10 days from
written demand by PDA, PDA may draw the corresponding amounts from the
Construction Performance Security. If the Construction Performance Security
has been depleted and the liquidated damages due to PDA remain unpaid in full

42
or in part, PDA shall then be entitled to charge interest on the unpaid amount at
a rate to be provided in the EPC Agreement.

c. If any amounts are drawn from the Construction Performance Security by the
Owner in accordance with the EPC Agreement, TUKOD shall, on or before the
date that is 10 days after the date the value of the Construction Performance

additional irrevocable standby letter of credit in an amount equivalent to the
amount drawn by PDA, such that the amount of the Construction Performance
Security does not fall below the thresholds identified in the EPC Agreement.

d. TUKOD’s liability to pay liquidated damages for a Delay attributable to the EPC
Contractor is capped at the contract price.

e. To be entitled to such liquidated damages, PDA needs to prove that it has


incurred actual damages.

years from the Completion Date of the NGAC to PDA or its assignee or Successor
Company to raise any defects to be remedied by TUKOD at its own account. This will be
without prejudice to TUKOD’S liability to rectify defects as may be required by any
Legal Requirements.

28. Novation/Assignment

MAGA relieves TUKOD from performing the affected obligation during the period of
existence of the MAGA, and TUKOD shall be entitled to time extension equal to the
