responsive in order to determine whether the technical aspects are in accordance with the requirements
set forth in the bidding documents. In order to reach such a determination, the EESL will examine and

to have reached Completion as of the date of the Implementing Partner’s notice or repeated notice,
or as of the EESL’s use of the Facilities, as the case may be.
24.7 As soon as possible after Completion, the Implementing Partner shall complete all
outstanding minor items so that the Facilities are fully in accordance with the requirements of the
Contract, failing which the EESL will undertake such completion and deduct the costs thereof from
any monies owing to the Implementing Partner.
24.8 Upon Completion, the EESL shall be responsible for the care and custody of the Facilities or
the relevant part thereof, together with the risk of loss or damage thereto, and shall thereafter
take over the Facilities or the relevant part thereof.

Page | 32
The EESL shall promptly provide the Implementing Partner with such information as the
Implementing Partner may reasonably require in relation to the conduct and results of the
Guarantee Test (and any repeats thereof).
25.2.2 If for reasons not attributable to the Implementing Partner, the Guarantee Test of the
Facilities or the relevant part thereof cannot be successfully completed within the period from the
date of Completion specified in the SCC or any other period agreed upon by the EESL and the
Implementing Partner, the Implementing Partner shall be deemed to have fulfilled its obligations
with respect to the Functional Guarantees, and GCC Sub-Clauses 28.2 and 28.3 shall not apply.
25.3.1 Subject to GCC Sub-Clause 25.4 (Partial Acceptance) below, Operational Acceptance shall
occur in respect of the Facilities or any part thereof when
(a) the Guarantee Test has been successfully completed and the Functional Guarantees are
met; or
(b) the Guarantee Test has not been successfully completed or has not been carried out for
reasons not attributable to the Implementing Partner within the period from the date of
Completion specified in the SCC or any other agreed upon period as specified in GCC Sub-
Clause 25.2.2 above, but successful Completion of the Facilities has been achieved; or
(C) the Implementing Partner has paid the liquidated damages specified in GCC Sub-Clause
28.3 hereof; and
(d) any minor items mentioned in GCC Sub-Clause 24.7 hereof relevant to the Facilities or that

as at the date of such notice.
25.3.3 The Project Manager shall, after consultation with the EESL, and within forty five (45) days
after receipt of the Implementing Partner’s notice, issue an Operational Acceptance Certificate.
25.3.4 If within forty five (45) days after receipt of the Implementing Partner’s notice, the Project
Manager fails to issue the Operational Acceptance Certificate or fails to inform the Implementing
Partner in writing of the justifiable reasons why the Project Manager has not issued the
Operational Acceptance Certificate, the Facilities or the relevant part thereof shall be deemed to
have been accepted as at the date of the Implementing Partner’s said notice.
25.4.1 If the Contract specifies that Completion and Commissioning shall be carried out in respect of
parts of the Facilities, the provisions relating to Completion and Commissioning including the
Guarantee Test shall apply to each such part of the Facilities individually, and the Operational
Page | 33
Acceptance Certificate shall be issued accordingly for each such part of the Facilities.
25.4.2 If a part of the Facilities comprises facilities such as buildings, for which no Commissioning or
Guarantee Test is required, then the Project Manager shall issue the Operational Acceptance
Certificate for such facility when it attains Completion, provided that the Implementing Partner
shall thereafter complete any outstanding minor items that are listed in the Operational
Acceptance Certificate.
26.1 The Implementing Partner guarantees that it shall attain Completion of the Facilities (or a part
for which a separate time for completion is specified in the SCC) within the Time for Completion
specified in the SCC pursuant to GCC Sub-Clause 8.2, or within such extended time to which the
Implementing Partner shall be entitled under GCC Clause 40 (Extension of Time for Completion)
hereof.
26.2 If the Implementing Partner fails to attain Completion of the Facilities or any part thereof
within the Time for Completion or any extension thereof under GCC Clause 40 (Extension of Time
for Completion), the Implementing Partner shall pay to the EESL liquidated damages in the amount
computed at the rates specified in the SCC. The aggregate amount of such liquidated damages
shall in no event exceed the amount specified as “Maximum” in the SCC. Once the “Maximum” is
reached, the EESL may consider termination of the Contract, pursuant to GCC Sub-Clause 42.2.2.
Such payment shall completely satisfy the Implementing Partner’s obligation to attain Completion of
the Facilities or the relevant part thereof within the Time for Completion or any extension thereof
under GCC Clause 40(Extension of Time for Completion). The Implementing Partner shall have no
further liability whatsoever to the EESL in respect thereof.
However, the payment of liquidated damages shall not in any way relieve the Implementing Partner
from any of its obligations to complete the Facilities or from any other obligations and liabilities of
the Implementing Partner under the Contract.
Save for liquidated damages payable under this GCC Sub-Clause 26.2, the failure by the
Implementing Partner to attain any milestone or other act, matter or thing by any date specified in
Appendix 4 (Time Schedule) to the Contract Agreement and/or other program of work prepared
pursuant to GCC Clause 18 (Program of Performance) shall not render the Implementing Partner
liable for any loss or damage thereby suffered by the EESL.
27.1 The Implementing Partner warrants that the Facilities or any part thereof shall be free from
defects in the design, engineering, materials and workmanship of the Plant and Equipment
supplied and of the work executed.
27.2 The Defect Liability Period shall be eighteen (18) months from the date of Completion of the
Facilities (or any part thereof) or twelve (12) months from the date of Operational Acceptance of
the Facilities (or any part thereof), whichever first occurs, unless specified otherwise in the SCC.
Page | 34
If during the Defect Liability Period any defect should be found in the design, engineering,
materials and workmanship of the Plant and Equipment supplied or of the work executed by the
Implementing Partner, the Implementing Partner shall promptly, in consultation and agreement
with the EESL regarding appropriate remedying of the defects, and at its cost, repair, replace or
otherwise make good (as the Implementing Partner shall, at its discretion, determine) such defect
as well as any damage to the Facilities caused by such defect. The Implementing Partner shall not
be responsible for the repair, replacement or making good of any defect or of any damage to the
Facilities arising out of or resulting from any of the following causes:
27.3 The Implementing Partner’s obligations under this GCC Clause 27 shall not apply to
(a) any materials that are supplied by the EESL under GCC Sub- Clause 21.2 (EESL-Supplied
Plant, Equipment and Materials), are normally consumed in operation, or have a normal life
shorter than the Defect Liability Period stated herein.
(b) any designs, specifications or other data designed, supplied or specified by or on behalf of the
EESL or any matters for which the Implementing Partner has disclaimed responsibility
herein.
(c) any other materials supplied or any other work executed by or on behalf of the EESL, except
for the work executed by the EESL under GCC Sub-Clause 27.7.

together with all available evidence thereof, promptly following the discovery thereof. The EESL
shall afford all reasonable opportunity for the Implementing Partner to inspect any such defect.
27.5 The EESL shall afford the Implementing Partner all necessary access to the Facilities and the
Site to enable the Implementing Partner to perform its obligations under this GCC Clause 27.
The Implementing Partner may, with the consent of the EESL, remove from the Site any Plant and
Equipment or any part of the Facilities that are defective if the nature of the defect, and/or any
damage to the Facilities caused by the defect, is such that repairs cannot be expeditiously carried
out at the Site.
27.6 If the repair, replacement or making good is of such a character that it may affect the
efficiency of the Facilities or any part thereof, the EESL may give to the Implementing Partner a
notice requiring that tests of the defective part of the Facilities shall be made by the Implementing
Partner immediately upon completion of such remedial work, whereupon the Implementing
Partner shall carry out such tests.
If such part fails the tests, the Implementing Partner shall carry out further repair, replacement or
making good (as the case may be) until that part of the Facilities passes such tests. The tests in
character shall in any case be not less than what has already been agreed by the EESL and the
Implementing Partner for the original equipment/part of the Facilities.
Page | 35
27.7 If the Implementing Partner fails to commence the work necessary to remedy such defect or
any damage to the Facilities caused by such defect within a reasonable time (which shall in no
event be considered to be less than fifteen (15) days), the EESL may, following notice to the
Implementing Partner, proceed to do such work, and the reasonable costs incurred by the EESL in
connection therewith shall be paid to the EESL by the Implementing Partner or may be deducted
by the EESL from any monies due to the Implementing Partner or claimed under the Performance
Security.
27.8 If the Facilities or any part thereof cannot be used by reason of such defect and/or making
good of such defect, the Defect Liability Period of the Facilities or such part, as the case may be,
shall be extended by a period equal to the period during which the Facilities or such part cannot
be used by the EESL because of any of the aforesaid reasons. Upon correction of the defects in the
Facilities or any part thereof by repair/ replacement, such repair/replacement shall have the
Defect Liability Period extended by a period of twelve (12) month from the time such
replacement/ repair of the Facilities or any part thereof.
27.9 Except as provided in GCC Clauses 27 and 33 (Loss of or Damage to Property / Accident or
Injury to Workers/Indemnification), the Implementing Partner shall be under no liability whatsoever
and howsoever arising, and whether under the Contract or at law, in respect of defects in the
Facilities or any part thereof, the Plant and Equipment, design or engineering or work executed
that appear after Completion of the Facilities or any part thereof, except where such defects are the
result of the gross negligence ,fraud, criminal or wilful action of the Implementing Partner.
27.10 In addition, the Implementing Partner shall also provide an extended warranty for any such
component of the Facilities and during the period of time as may be specified in the SCC. Such
obligation shall be in addition to the defect liability specified under GCC Sub-Clause 27.2.
28.1 The Implementing Partner guarantees that during the Guarantee Test, the Facilities and all parts
thereof shall attain the Functional Guarantees specified in Appendix 8 (Functional Guarantees) to the
Contract Agreement, subject to and upon the conditions therein specified.
28.2 If, for reasons attributable to the Implementing Partner, the guaranteed level of the Functional
Guarantees specified in Appendix 8 (Functional Guarantees) to the Contract Agreement are not met
either in whole or in part, the Implementing Partner shall, within a mutually agreed time, at its
cost and expense make such changes, modifications and/or additions to the Plant or any part
thereof as may be necessary to meet such Guarantees. The Implementing Partner shall notify the
EESL upon completion of the necessary changes, modifications and/or additions, and shall seek
the EESL's consent to repeat the Guarantee Test. If the specified Functional Guarantees are not
established even during the repeat of the Guarantee Test, the EESL may at its option, either
(a) Reject the Equipment and recover the payments already made, or
(b) Terminate the Contract pursuant to GCC Sub-Clause 42.2.2 and recover the payments
already made, or
(c) Accept the equipment after levy of liquidated damages in accordance with the provisions
Page | 36
specified in Appendix-8(Functional Guarantees) to the Contract Agreement.
28.3 In case the EESL exercises its option to accept the equipment after levy of liquidated damages,
the payment of liquidated damages under GCC Sub-Clause 28.2, up to the limitation of liability
specified in the Appendix-8 (Functional Guarantees) to the Contract Agreement, shall completely
satisfy the Implementing Partner’s guarantees under GCC Sub-Clause 28.2, and the Implementing
Partner shall have no further liability whatsoever to the EESL in respect thereof. Upon the
payment of such liquidated damages by the Implementing Partner, the Project Manager shall issue
the Operational Acceptance Certificate for the Facilities or any part thereof in respect of which the
liquidated damages have been so paid.
29.1 The Implementing Partner shall, subject to the EESL’s compliance with GCC Sub-Clause 29.2,
indemnify and hold harmless the EESL and its employees and officers from and against any and all
suits, actions or administrative proceedings, claims, demands, losses, damages, costs, and

d) the additional cost and expense that the Implementing Partner is likely to incur.
On receiving any notice from the Implementing Partner under this GCC Sub-Clause35.1, the
Project Manager shall promptly consult with the EESL and Implementing Partner and decide upon
the actions to be taken to overcome the physical conditions or artificial obstructions encountered.
Following such consultations, the Project Manager shall instruct the Implementing Partner, with a

Site is located, any law, regulation, ordinance, order or by-law having the force of law is enacted,
promulgated, abrogated or changed (which shall be deemed to include any change in interpretation
or application by the competent authorities) that subsequently affects the costs and expenses of the
Implementing Partner and/or the Time for Completion, the Contract Price shall be correspondingly
increased or decreased, and/or the Time for Completion shall be reasonably adjusted to the extent
that the Implementing Partner has thereby been affected in the performance of any of its
obligations under the Contract. However, these adjustments would be restricted to direct
transactions between the EESL and the Implementing Partner/Assignee of Foreign Implementing
Partner (if applicable). These adjustment shall not be applicable on procurement of raw materials,
intermediary components etc. by the Implementing Partner/Assignee of Foreign Implementing
Partner and shall also not be applicable on bought out items despatched directly from sub-vendor
works to site. Further, no adjustment of the Contract Price and/or payment or reimbursement of
taxes, duties or levies shall be made on account of variation in or withdrawal of Deemed Export
benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such additional or reduced costs shall not be separately
paid or credited if the same has already been accounted for in the price adjustment provisions
where applicable, in accordance with the Appendix 2 to the Contract Agreement.

37.3 The party who has given such notice shall be excused from the performance or punctual
performance of its obligations under the Contract for so long as the relevant event of Force Majeure
continues and to the extent that such party’s performance is prevented, hindered or delayed. The
Time for Completion shall be extended in accordance with GCC Clause 40 (Extension of Time for
Completion).
37.4 The party or parties affected by the event of Force Majeure shall use reasonable efforts to
mitigate the effect thereof upon its or their performance of the Contract and to fulfill its or their
obligations under the Contract, but without prejudice to either party’s right to terminate the
Contract under GCC Sub-Clauses 37.6 and 38.5.
37.5 No delay or non performance by either party hereto caused by the occurrence of any event
of Force Majeure shall
a) constitute a default or breach of the Contract
b) (subject to GCC Sub-Clauses 32.2, 38.3 and 38.4) give rise to any claim for damages or
additional cost or expense occasioned thereby
If and to the extent that such delay or non performance is caused by the occurrence of an event of
Force Majeure.
37.6 If the performance of the Contract is substantially prevented, hindered or delayed for a single
period of more than sixty (60) days or an aggregate period of more than one hundred and twenty
(120) days on account of one or more events of Force Majeure during the currency of the Contract,

indemnify and hold the Implementing Partner harmless from and against any and all claims,
liabilities, actions, lawsuits, damages, costs, charges or expenses arising in consequence of or in
connection with the same.
38.3 If the Facilities or any Plant and Equipment or Implementing Partner’s Equipment or any
other property of the Implementing Partner used or intended to be used for the purposes of the

consideration given to the safety of its and its Sub Implementing Partners’ personnel engaged in
Page | 46
the work on the Facilities, provided, however, that if the execution of the work on the Facilities
becomes impossible or is substantially prevented for a single period of more than sixty (60) days
or an aggregate period of more than one hundred and twenty (120) days on account of any War
Risks, the parties will attempt to develop a mutually satisfactory solution, failing which the dispute
will be resolved in accordance with GCC Clause 6.
38.6 In the event of termination pursuant to GCC Sub-Clauses 38.3, the rights and obligations of
the EESL and the Implementing Partner shall be specified in GCC Sub-Clauses 42.1.2 and 42.1.3,

Manager order the Implementing Partner from time to time during the performance of the Contract
to make any change, modification, addition or deletion to, in or from the Facilities (hereinafter
called “Change”), provided that such Change falls within the general scope of the Facilities and does
not constitute unrelated work and that it is technically practicable, taking into account both the
state of advancement of the Facilities and the technical compatibility of the Change envisaged with
the nature of the Facilities as specified in the Contract .
39.1.2 The Implementing Partner may from time to time during its performance of the Contract
propose to the EESL (with a copy to the Project Manager) any Change that the Implementing
Partner considers necessary or desirable to improve the quality, efficiency or safety of the Facilities.
The EESL may at its discretion approve or reject any Change proposed by the Implementing
Partner.
39.1.3 Notwithstanding GCC Sub-Clauses 39.1.1 and 39.1.2, no change made necessary because of
any default of the Implementing Partner in the performance of its obligations under the Contract
shall be deemed to be a Change, and such change shall not result in any adjustment of the Contract
Price or the Time for Completion.
39.1.4 The procedure on how to proceed with and execute Changes is specified in GCC Sub-
Clauses 39.2 and 39.3.
39.2.2 The pricing of any Change shall, as far as practicable, be calculated in accordance with the
Page | 47
rates and prices included in the Contract. If the rates and prices of any change are not available in
the Contract, the parties thereto shall agree on specific rates for the valuation of the Change.
39.2.3 If before or during the preparation of the Change Proposal it becomes apparent that the
aggregate effect of compliance therewith and with all other Change Orders that have already
become binding upon the Implementing Partner under this GCC Clause 39 would be to increase or
decrease the Contract Price as originally set forth in Article 2 (Contract Price) of the Contract
Agreement by more than fifteen (15) percent, the Implementing Partner may give a written notice
of objection thereto prior to furnishing the Change Proposal as aforesaid. If the EESL accepts the

rates for valuation of the change.
39.2.4 Upon receipt of the Change Proposal, the EESL and the Implementing Partner shall mutually
agree upon all matters therein contained including agreement on rates if such rates are not
available in the Contract or if the limit of 15% set forth in Clause 39.2.3 has been exceeded. Within
fourteen (14) days after such agreement, the EESL shall, if it intends to proceed with the Change,
issue the Implementing Partner with a Change Order.

Partner with details of when the Implementing Partner can expect a decision.
If the EESL decides not to proceed with the Change for whatever reason, it shall, within the said
period of fourteen (14) days, notify the Implementing Partner accordingly.
39.2.5 If the EESL and the Implementing Partner cannot reach agreement on the price for the
Change, an equitable adjustment to the Time for Completion, or any other matters identified in the
Change Proposal, the EESL may nevertheless instruct the Implementing Partner to proceed with
the Change by issue of a “Pending Agreement Change Order.”
Upon receipt of a Pending Agreement Change Order, the Implementing Partner shall immediately
proceed with effecting the Changes covered by such Order. The parties shall thereafter attempt to
reach agreement on the outstanding issues under the Change Proposal.
39.3.1 If the Implementing Partner proposes a Change pursuant to GCC Sub-Clause 39.1.2, the
Implementing Partner shall submit to the Project Manager a written “Application for Change
Proposal,” giving reasons for the proposed Change and including the information specified in GCC
Sub-Clause 39.2.1.
Upon receipt of the Application for Change Proposal, the parties shall follow the procedures
outlined in GCC Sub-Clauses 39.2.4 and 39.2.5
40.1 The Time(s) for Completion specified in the SCC shall be extended if the Implementing Partner
is delayed or impeded in the performance of any of its obligations under the Contract by reason
of any of the following:
Page | 48
a) any Change in the Facilities as provided in GCC Clause 39 (Change in the Facilities)
b) any occurrence of Force Majeure as provided in GCC Clause 37 (Force Majeure), unforeseen
conditions as provided in GCC Clause 35 (Unforeseen Conditions), or other occurrence of any
of the matters specified or referred to in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of GCC Sub-Clause 32.2
c) any suspension order given by the EESL under GCC Clause 41 (Suspension) hereof or

Regulations) or
e) any default or breach of the Contract by the EESL, specifically including failure to supply
the items listed in Appendix 6 (Scope of Works and Supply by the EESL) to the Contract
Agreement, or any activity, act or omission of any other Implementing Partners employed
by the EESL or
by such period as shall be fair and reasonable in all the circumstances and as shall fairly reflect
the delay or impediment sustained by the Implementing Partner.
40.2 Except where otherwise specifically provided in the Contract, the Implementing Partner
shall submit to the Project Manager a notice of a claim for an extension of the Time for
Completion, together with particulars of the event or circumstance justifying such extension as
soon as reasonably practicable after the commencement of such event or circumstance. As soon
as reasonably practicable after receipt of such notice and supporting particulars of the claim, the
EESL and the Implementing Partner shall agree upon the period of such extension. In the event
that the Implementing Partner does not accept the EESL’s estimate of a fair and reasonable time
extension, the Implementing Partner shall be entitled to refer the matter to the Adjudicator,
pursuant to GCC Sub-Clause 6.1 (Adjudicator).
40.3 The Implementing Partner shall at all times use its reasonable efforts to minimize any delay
in the performance of its obligations under the Contract.
41 Suspension

Implementing Partner to suspend performance of any or all of its obligations under the Contract.
Such notice shall specify the obligation of which performance is to be suspended, the effective
date of the suspension and the reasons therefore. The Implementing Partner shall there upon
suspend performance of such obligation (except those obligations necessary for the care or
preservation of the Facilities) until ordered in writing to resume such performance by the Project
Manager/ EESL.
If, by virtue of a suspension order given by the Project Manager/EESL other than by reason of the
Implementing Partner’s default or breach of the Contract, the Implementing Partner’s performance
of any of its obligations is suspended for an aggregate period of more than ninety (90) days, then at
any time thereafter and provided that at that time such performance is still suspended, the
Implementing Partner may give a notice to the Project Manager requiring that the EESL shall, within
twenty-eight (28) days of receipt of the notice, order the resumption of such performance or
Page | 49
request and subsequently order a change in accordance with GCC Clause 39 (Change in the
Facilities), excluding the performance of the suspended obligations from the Contract.
If the EESL fails to do so within such period, the Implementing Partner may, by a further notice to
the Project Manager, elect to treat the suspension, where it affects a part only of the Facilities, as a
deletion of such part in accordance with GCC Clause 39 (Change in the Facilities) or, where it
affects the whole of the Facilities, as termination of the Contract under GCC Sub-Clause 42.1
(Termination for EESL’s Convenience).
41.2 If
a) the EESL has failed to pay the Implementing Partner any sum due under the Contract
within the specified period, has failed to approve any invoice or supporting documents
without just cause pursuant to Appendix 1 (Terms and Procedures of Payment) to the
Contract Agreement, or commits a substantial breach of the Contract, the Implementing
Partner may give a notice to the EESL that requires payment of such sum, requires approval
of such invoice or supporting documents, or specifies the breach and requires the EESL to
remedy the same, as the case may be. If the EESL fails to pay such sum, fails to approve
such invoice or supporting documents or give its reasons for withholding such approval, or
fails to remedy the breach or take steps to remedy the breach within fourteen (14) days
after receipt of the Implementing Partner’s notice or

and/or completion of the Facilities; then the Implementing Partner may by fourteen (14)
days’ notice to the EESL suspend performance of all or any of its obligations under the
Contract, or reduce the rate of progress.
41.3 If the Implementing Partner’s performance of its obligations is suspended or the rate of
progress is reduced pursuant to this GCC Clause 41, then the Time for Completion shall be
extended in accordance with GCC Sub-Clause 40.1, and any and all additional costs or expenses
incurred by the Implementing Partner as a result of such suspension or reduction shall be paid by
the EESL to the Implementing Partner in addition to the Contract Price, except in the case of
suspension order or reduction in the rate of progress by reason of the Implementing Partner’s
default or breach of the Contract.
41.4 During the period of suspension, the Implementing Partner shall not remove from the Site
any Plant and Equipment, any part of the Facilities or any Implementing Partner’s Equipment,
without the prior written consent of the EESL.
