following justifiable causes of delay of the Project:
10.3.1 Force majeure or events attributable to natural or human causes or phenomena beyond the

extension period. For this purpose, CONTRACTOR shall be obliged to notify its bondsmen and insurers of any
and all extensions of the Completion Period and show proof that the bondsmen and insurers have agreed in
writing to remain bound to OWNER during the extension period/s under the same terms and conditions. No
extension shall be granted, even if the circumstances fall under any of the justifiable causes allowed in this

substantiated by OWNER to complete the Works over the balance of the Contract Price shall be for the
account of CONTRACTOR; or

failure or default in the performance of this Contract for reasons beyond its control which amount to force
majeure. As used herein, the term "force majeure" shall mean events attributable to natural causes or
phenomena that are unforeseen, or though foreseen, inevitable and make it impossible for the CONTRACTOR
to carry out, in whole or in part, its obligations under this Contract. In the event of force majeure resulting in a
suspension of work, this Contract shall be extended by a period equal to that for which CONTRACTOR was
prevented from performing, or such period as may be approved by the OWNER, which is shorter.

deemed terminated and cease to have any further effect and CONTRACTOR shall have no claim against the
OWNER except: (i) for the value of the WORKS performed and duly accepted by the OWNER up to the date

billing, or after such period but within the warranty period as stated in Section 1, starting from the issuance of
certificate of completion and final acceptance of WORKS, without prejudice to Article 1723 of the New Civil
Code.

Brokers. All such defects or warranties or responsibilities shall be made good or remedied to the full satisfaction

anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable. The
indemnification obligation under this paragraph shall not be limited in any way by any limitation of the amount or
type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor under
workers' compensation acts, disability benefits acts or other employee benefit acts.
14.16 For the duration of the warranty period, as stated in Section 1 reckoned from the date of the issuance of
the Certificate of Completion and Final Acceptance, CONTRACTOR warrants the Works against all defects in
workmanship and quality of CONTRACTOR- or Subcontractor-supplied materials, or those arising from the
neglect or failure of CONTRACTOR to comply with any obligation, express or implied, under this Contract. All
defects made known to CONTRACTOR during this period shall be immediately repaired or replaced by it within
fifteen (15) calendar days from notice or demand. In the event that CONTRACTOR fails to complete the repair
or replacement work within said period, OWNER may, at its exclusive option, undertake remedial or corrective
work, and the costs thereof shall be charged against the account of CONTRACTOR and/or the Guarantee
Bond.
14.17 Notwithstanding the expiration of the Warranty Period specified in Section 1, nothing herein shall be
deemed a waiver of any cause of action to proceed against the CONTRACTOR for purposes of enforcing its
obligations and liabilities under the provisions of Article 1723 of the New Civil Code.
15.1 RIGHT TO SUSPEND WORK. Except in the cases of unresolved contested billings under Section 6.5,
CONTRACTOR shall have the right to suspend work on the Project for any of the following reasons:

CONTRACTOR's failure to comply with any national or local law, ordinance, rule or regulation;
15.1.2 OWNER fails to perform its obligations under this Contract through no fault of CONTRACTOR,
including the non-payment of progress billing for a period exceeding thirty (30) days from the end of the
period allowed OWNER to complete the procedures for the payment of approved billings.
15.2 Upon the resumption of the execution of the Works after a valid suspension based on Section 15.1,
CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to an extension of the Completion Period and reimbursement of reasonable
costs it may have incurred and directly attributable to suspension of works and subject to the adjustment of the
period of coverage of the Bonds and Insurances. CONTRACTOR shall also be entitled to any sums due for
services rendered prior to the suspension and all reasonable project-related costs it incurred as a result of the
suspension.
15.3 RIGHT TO TERMINATE CONTRACT. The CONTRACTOR shall have the right to terminate this Contract
for any of the following reasons:
15.3.1 OWNER becomes bankrupt or insolvent, goes into liquidation, has a receivership or
administration order issued against it, compounds with its creditors, or carries on business under a
receiver, trustee or manager for the benefit of its creditors, or if any act is done or event occurs which
under the law has a similar effect to any of these acts or events.
15.3.2 OWNER suspends work on the Project and the suspension subsists for a continuous period of
sixty (60) days. In such case, OWNER shall pay CONTRACTOR within thirty (30) days from the effective
date of termination:
a. for the value of the WORKS performed and duly accepted by the OWNER up to the date this
Contract is terminated, and
b. for the cost of materials and equipment delivered in the Project Site and which meet the
Project's specifications and accepted by OWNER, the cost/payment of which shall be based on
the value thereof.
16.1 OWNER may terminate this Contract without incurring any liability whatsoever to CONTRACTOR other
than the obligation to pay for Works actually accomplished, which shall be computed using bills of quantities'
rates and prices in accordance with the measurement/survey which will be carried out and certified by an
independent appraiser by giving fifteen (15) day prior notice in writing to CONTRACTOR, except for grounds
16.1.6 and 16.1.7 , which do not require prior written notice, upon any of the following grounds:
16.1.1 CONTRACTOR, without just cause, violated or is in violation of any of the terms and conditions of
this Contract or the Contract Documents, or any of its warranties under this Contract and fails to cure
such violation within a period of five (5) days from written demand of OWNER;
16.1.2 CONTRACTOR abandons the Project or assigns the execution of the Works or any portion
thereof to other parties without the prior written consent of OWNER;
16.1.3 CONTRACTOR fails or refuses, without just cause, to continue any Works on the Project by
reason of any disagreement with OWNER;
16.1.4 CONTRACTOR fails to execute the Works in good faith, or in accordance with the plans and
specifications;
16.1.5 CONTRACTOR fails to recover its five percent (5%) slippage in the Construction Schedule
despite a thirty (30) day catch-up period pursuant to Section 10.8 and it becomes apparent that it will not
be able to finish the Works within the Completion Period, including the period of extension, if any.
16.1.6 CONTRACTOR files for, or is the respondent in, a petition for suspension of payments, for
insolvency, or is placed under receivership, or goes to involuntary liquidation, or enters into an
arrangement whereby it assigns its assets or this Contract in favor of creditors;
16.1.7 CONTRACTOR becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its obligations as they fall due; or incurs
default or delay in any of its other obligations;
16.1.8 CONTRACTOR fails, despite demand of OWNER, to provide qualified superintendents and

16.2 In the event of termination of this Contract by reason of CONTRACTOR's default under Section 16.2,
OWNER may take over and complete the Works or arrange for another contractor to do so. CONTRACTOR
shall not remove its equipment and temporary Works from the Project Site, unless OWNER has decided not to
use the same. In the latter case, CONTRACTOR shall remove its equipment and temporary Works within (15)
days from receipt of the notice from OWNER. OWNER may withhold any amount owing to CONTRACTOR at
the time of termination, for services already rendered and/or materials/equipment delivered and taken over by it
until the following shall have been ascertained:
16.2.1 The extra cost of completing unfinished Works and/or remedying defects, if any, in
CONTRACTOR's Works, and
16.2.2 Any liquidated damages for delay which have accrued prior to termination.
16.2.3 After deducting such cost and damages, OWNER shall release to and pay CONTRACTOR the
balance from the amount withheld.
16.3 OWNER shall have the right to approve or disapprove the materials and workmanship of CONTRACTOR
and require that only those materials conforming to the specifications and equipment complying with the
required standards of quality as detailed in the specifications are employed and used in the Works. Towards
this end, CONTRACTOR is obliged to furnish OWNER upon request, samples of materials for examination and
testing for review and approval.
16.4 OWNER shall have the right to inspect the Works to ensure that the same is being done in accordance
with the Contract Documents as well as to confirm the percentage of completion claimed by CONTRACTOR in
its billing. Works that will be covered shall be first presented to OWNER for inspection and Works covered
without such inspection may be ordered uncovered at CONTRACTOR's expense. Works that do not comply
with the Contract Documents shall be condemned and ordered re-done. If, before Final Acceptance, OWNER
has reason to believe that the Works were not done in accordance with the Contract Documents, it may order
these removed or torn down, even if said Works had already passed inspection. Should the inspection show
that the Works were not properly done, CONTRACTOR shall shoulder the cost of removal and reconstruction. If
appropriate, CONTRACTOR shall be granted an extension of the Completion Period. No such payment or
extension shall be allowed if the Works were covered without the required notice, presentation to, and
inspection by OWNER.
16.5 OWNER shall be indemnified by CONTRACTOR for any and all losses, claims, demands, suits, actions,
recoveries, and judgment of every nature and description brought or recovered against OWNER to the extent
that they arise from the execution of the Works by CONTRACTOR or by reason of any act or omission of
CONTRACTOR, its agents, or employees. CONTRACTOR's liability thereon shall survive the termination of this
Contract.
16.6 OWNER, motu propio or upon the request of CONTRACTOR, may order the suspension or discontinuation
of the execution of the Works due to problems encountered, whatever may be the cause. In such a case, the
CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to due compensation for Works actually accomplished to the satisfaction of the
Technical OWNER up to the time that the Contract is rescinded, terminated, or cancelled. Upon payment of due
compensation to CONTRACTOR and OWNER shall be released from all further obligations to CONTRACTOR
under this Contract.
16.7 After the termination of this Contract, OWNER may decide to resume the construction of the Project.
OWNER may choose to either negotiate with CONTRACTOR under an amended or new contract, or to tender
out the execution of the Works, in which case CONTRACTOR may be allowed to participate in the process, at
the option of the OWNER.
17.1 In the event that OWNER shall provide or supply any materials which may be used in the construction of
the Project, the corresponding cost component of the said materials as contained in the Cost Breakdown
(section 2.1.2 (e)) including the corresponding VAT, shall be deducted from the Contract Price. However, the
Parties agree that the quality standards of such materials shall be subject to the approval of CONTRACTOR.
18.1 When the Works under this Contract are completed to at least ninety eight percent [98%], CONTRACTOR
shall notify OWNER in writing and request for a final inspection.
18.2 Representatives of OWNER and CONTRACTOR, together with the Technical OWNER, shall conduct a
joint inspection of the Project within five (5) days from the request for final inspection, unless the parties hereto
mutually agree on a later date. The parties shall conclude the joint inspection within thirty (30) calendar days
from its commencement unless the parties should mutually decide to extend the same.
18.3 If the Works are found defective, however, OWNER shall notify CONTRACTOR of the defects by issuing
written notice thereof. Upon the correction of the items contained in the notice, CONTRACTOR shall again
inform OWNER of its completion and request for another joint inspection within five (5) calendar days from
receipt of the said request.
18.4 If the Works are eventually found to have been satisfactorily done, OWNER shall, within fifteen (15)
calendar days from the conclusion of the inspection or re-inspection, issue the Certificate of Completion and
Final Acceptance and release the payment for the last billing of the Contract Price as well as the balance of the
retention upon the submission of the following:
18.4.1 Sworn Affidavit and Undertaking signed by CONTRACTOR's authorized representatives that all
taxes, obligations on materials used and installed, and wages and benefits of workers employed in
connection with this Contract have been fully paid and that CONTRACTOR shall render OWNER, its
stockholders, trustees, officers, employees, assigns and successors, free and harmless from any
possible claims;
18.4.3 One (1) set of original Mylar copy and five (5) sets of blue print, and one (1) Autocad File in
compact disc of the "As-Built" Plans and Drawings of the Works;
18.4.4 Operating manuals, product warranty documents, maintenance Contracts, etc. for all equipment
and materials supplied or installed in the Works.
18.4.5 Certificate of Final Building Occupancy, if applicable, unless such certificate cannot be obtained
through no fault of CONTRACTOR;
18.4.6 Certificate of Final Inspection of electrical, telephone, sanitary, mechanical, water, gas, safety,
and other utilities, unless such certificate cannot be obtained without the fault of CONTRACTOR; and
18.5 The acceptance by CONTRACTOR of final payment from OWNER shall constitute waiver of all its claims
against OWNER, except the following:
18.5.1 A claim covered by prior notice to OWNER and reserved by CONTRACTOR to be filed in
accordance with this Contract;
18.5.2 A claim pending at the time the request for final payment is made and which remains unresolved
by the parties;
19.1 Should disputes, controversies, or differences between the parties arise in connection with this Contract,
the parties shall, as far as practicable, settle the same amicably. Within five (5) days from written notice ("Initial

their respective representatives to meet not later than ten (10) calendar days from the Initial Written Notice.
During said meeting or meetings, the parties shall, in good faith, endeavor to reach a settlement mutually
acceptable. Should the parties fail to settle their dispute/s under this mode within thirty (30) days from date of

that are not resolved to their mutual satisfaction pursuant to the immediately preceding section, shall be
submitted to a tribunal of three (3) Arbitrators in accordance with the arbitration rules of the Construction
Industry Arbitration Commission. OWNER and CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to appoint one (1) arbitrator
each and the two arbitrators shall agree upon the third arbitrator, who shall be the chairman of the tribunal.
Expenses and other fees for arbitration shall be shouldered by the party held liable therefor by the Arbitration
Tribunal or, in the absence of such determination, equally among the parties. Any pending issue submitted for
arbitration, except on any of the grounds provided under Section 15.1 (a) and (b), shall not be considered as
basis for CONTRACTOR to suspend work or ask for extension of the Completion Period.
20.1 OWNER shall have the right to rescind, terminate, or cancel this Contract, without need of judicial action,
in case any one of the events of default under Section 16.2 occurs, and CONTRACTOR fails to remedy or cure
such default to the satisfaction of OWNER, within five (5) days from receipt of written notice from OWNER of
such default, except for grounds f and g of Section 16.2.

integral parts of this Contract.
21.2 The failure of any party to this Contract to insist upon a strict performance or compliance of any of the

that such party may have, nor shall it be construed as a waiver against any subsequent breach or default of the
terms, conditions, or covenants herein contained. Unless otherwise provided herein, no waiver of any right by
either party shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by all the parties.
21.3 The invalidation of any of the terms, conditions, stipulations, covenants, or restrictions, or any part hereof
by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction shall not affect the other provisions of this Contract. If
necessary for the full implementation of this Contract and the Contract Documents, the parties shall promptly
negotiate in good faith for alternate provisions to replace any provision that has been declared invalid by a
competent court.
21.4 CONTRACTOR shall not assign, sublet, or subcontract any portion of the Works or of the Project covered
by this Contract, except upon prior written approval by OWNER. Any such assignment, sublease or
subcontracting shall be subject to the pertinent provisions of this Contract. Violation of this provision shall
constitute a material breach of this Contract. Notwithstanding written approval by the Technical OWNER to the
subletting or subcontracting, CONTRACTOR shall not be relieved of any of its responsibilities and obligations
under this Contract. Consent to any subcontracting shall not be deemed given until after CONTRACTOR has
submitted satisfactory proof to the Technical OWNER that the subcontractor has ample insurance to cover the
Works. CONTRACTOR shall hold OWNER free and harmless from any and all damages and expenses arising
from such subcontracting and/or assignment.

sickness, or death that its employees may suffer while performing their duties.
21.7 This Contract shall be binding upon and shall be enforceable against OWNER and CONTRACTOR and
their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that CONTRACTOR shall not have the right to
transfer or assign any and all of its rights or obligations herein without the prior written consent of OWNER.
21.8 Nothing in this Contract, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to
third parties any right, remedy, or claim. All the covenants, stipulations, promises and Contracts herein
contained are and shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns.
21.9 This Contract constitutes the entire Contract of the parties regarding the Works. Any amendment,
alteration or modification of this Contract shall not be valid and binding unless and until reduced into writing and
signed by the parties hereto.

legal representative or agent of the others, nor will any party have the right or authority to assume, create or
incur any liability or any obligation of any kind, express or implied, against, or in the name of, or on behalf of the
other parties. No entity employed by a party for the performance of its obligations under this Contract shall be

responsible for the payment of all fees, salaries, employment benefits, etc. with respect to all entities who are
engaged by it for the performance of any obligations under this Contract and such entity will not be entitled to
any salary benefit or any other claim whatsoever from or against any of the other parties. Each party will
indemnify the other for any such claims made by any such entity to or against the other party.
21.13 This Contract shall be in full force and effect until validly terminated by any party in the manner herein
provided or upon completion of the Project.

this Contract intended to be covered hereby or otherwise connected with or related to the Project, but not
expressly covered by the provisions of this Contract, shall be supplied by the Contract Documents.
