　　3.25 Integration with Existing Facility and Subproject 1 After Substantial Completion of Subproject 1.

　　A. No Interference with Existing Facility or Subproject 1 After Substantial Completion of Subproject 1. Performance of the Work shall at no time cause the suspension of operation of the Existing Facility (or any portion thereof) or of Subproject 1 (or any portion thereof) after Substantial Completion of Subproject 1 except to the extent permitted under Section 3.25B or agreed by the Owner Representative in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstance shall any Work that is permitted to interfere with the operation of the Existing Facility or Subproject 1 as described in the immediately preceding sentence be scheduled or performed by Contractor where: (i) more than one (1) marine berth is unavailable at any given time; (ii) more than one (1) Tank is unavailable at any given time; or (iii) the time to perform any individual service outage required to accommodate tie-ins of the modified facilities for the Existing Facility or Subproject 1 exceeds 48 consecutive hours, or the cumulative time to perform any combination of service outages during any given calendar year exceeds ten (10) Days aggregate in such given calendar year. For purposes of this Section 3.25, individual service outage means that by action of the Contractor, any of the following are not possible: (a) berthing, loading, and unloading LNG from an LNG tanker at one or both marine berths; (b) loading, storing, and sending out LNG from at least three Tanks; (c) with respect to the Existing Facility, vaporizing LNG at a constant rate of 2000 MMSCFD and sending the resultant Natural Gas to the export pipeline; (d) with respect to Subproject 1 of after Substantial Completion of Subproject 1, producing LNG at a rate of at least 50% of capacity; or (e) providing sufficient electrical power, control systems, safety systems, utilities, and other equipment, infrastructure, facilities, and systems needed for any of the above actions.

　　B. Scheduled Activities. No later than thirty (30) Days prior to performing any Work that may interfere with the operation of the Existing Facility or Subproject 1 after Substantial Completion of Subproject 1 (whether specified in Attachment X or agreed by Owner Representative in writing), Contractor shall provide Owner with a written integration plan listing the scheduled, interfering Work and proposing in detail how Contractor intends that such Work will be performed to minimize, to the greatest extent reasonably possible, interference with the operation of the Existing Facility or Subproject 1 after Substantial Completion of Subproject 1. Such proposed plan shall (i) comply with the requirements of Section 3.25A, (ii) be scheduled so that it is not on the critical path, and (iii) at a minimum, address each of the activities identified in Attachment X and list (a) the component of the Existing Facility or Subproject 1 that will be impacted by such activity, (b) how such component will be impacted, and (c) and the duration of such impact. If the plan proposed by Contractor does not meet any of the requirements in the immediately preceding sentence, or if Owner reasonably believes that the plan proposed by Contractor has not been developed to reasonably minimize the impact on the operations of the Existing Facility or Subproject 1 after Substantial Completion of Subproject 1, then Owner may, not later than fourteen (14) Days following receipt of the proposed plan, instruct Contractor in writing to modify the proposed plan. If Owner’s instruction restricts the duration or extent of the Work covered in the plan more than what is required by Section 3.25A(i)-(iii), then Contractor shall be entitled to a Change Order to the extent permitted under Section 6.9. Contractor shall proceed to execute such Work in accordance with the mutually agreed plan; provided that, if Owner does not respond and comment upon the Contractor’s proposed plan within fourteen (14) Days following receipt of Contractor’s proposed plan, then Contractor shall proceed to execute such Work in accordance with Contractor’s proposed plan as long as it complies with the limitations specified in Section 3.25A. Notwithstanding Owner’s agreement (or failure to agree) to the schedule and the plan for the performance of such Work, Owner may, in its sole discretion, subsequently prohibit the performance of such Work occurring on the scheduled date, but in such case Contractor shall be entitled to a Change Order to the extent permitted under Section 6.9. If Owner fails to provide Contractor with access when and for the duration required by Contractor for the Work, other than for non-compliance with Section 3.25A(i)-(iii), Applicable Law, Owner Permits relating to safety, or Owner’s reasonable security requirements, then Contractor shall be entitled to a Change Order to the extent permitted under Section 6.9.

　　C. Unscheduled Activities. It is the Parties’ intent that, except for the activities (if any) listed in Attachment X, the performance of the Work and Contractor’s other obligations under this Agreement will not interfere with the operation of the Existing Facility or Subproject 1 (or any portion thereof) after Substantial Completion of Subproject 1. During the performance of the Work, should a situation arise that Contractor reasonably believes has the potential of interfering with the operation of the Existing Facility or Subproject 1 after Substantial Completion of Subproject 1, Contractor shall, except in an emergency endangering property or any Persons, give Owner written notice as soon as possible but no later than fourteen (14) Days prior to the time that Contractor plans to perform such Work, detailing a plan that is least disruptive, to the greatest extent reasonably possible, to operations of the Existing Facility or Subproject 1 after Substantial Completion of Subproject 1. Emergency actions are governed by Section 3.11. Prior to performing such Work, Owner and Contractor shall mutually agree on a proposed plan for Contractor to execute such Work; provided that, if Owner fails to provide Contractor with access when and for the duration required by Contractor for the Work, other than for non-compliance with Section 3.25A(i)-(iii), Applicable Law, Owner Permits relating to safety, or Owner’s reasonable security requirements, then Contractor shall be entitled to a Change Order to the extent permitted under Section 6.9. Notwithstanding Owner’s agreement to the schedule and the plan for the performance of such Work, Owner may, in its sole discretion, subsequently prohibit the performance of such Work on such scheduled date, and Contractor shall work with Owner to develop a new plan and date for performing such Work in accordance with this Section 3.25C, and in such case Contractor shall be entitled to a Change Order to the extent permitted under Section 6.2A.2.
