6. Delays
6.1 Force Majeure: The parties hereto shall be excused from performing
hereunder and shall not be liable in damages or otherwise, if and only to the
extent that they shall be unable to perform, or are prevented from
performing by a Force Majeure event. For purposes herein, Force Majeure
means any cause without the fault or negligence, and beyond the
reasonable control of, the party claiming the occurrence of a Force Majeure
event. Force Majeure shall include, but not be limited to, the following: Acts

account of weather conditions or on account of force majeure or
unforeseeable causes including but not restricted to acts of God, or of the

its rights to collect amounts owed under the Contract.
ALSTOM warrants that it has not engaged any person to solicit or secure this
Contract upon any agreement for a commission, percentage, brokerage, or
contingent fee. Breach of this warranty shall give PREPA the right to annul the

right to substitute, subrogate or assume ALSTOM's rights under the
subcontract, in the event that PREPA declares ALSTOM in breach or
default of any of the Contract terms and conditions; and (3) the
subcontract includes, as a condition for its validity and enforceability, a
provision establishing for the subcontractor the obligation to comply with
all of ALSTOM's obligations under the Contract (mirror image clause),
except for such obligations, terms and conditions which exclusively related

must be prepared to support GE's work schedule 7 days per week, 24 hours per day as required
maintaining the schedule.
Cold commissioning (day-shift only) will start in parallel to reassembly/restoration of hydraulic system.
Preceding the commencement of work, a field engineering visit to Aguirre must be authorized /
th
acknowledged. This on site meeting needs to be scheduled for August 15 through 19 . This is very
urgent, as there needs to be time allowed for GE to procure installation materials having long lead
times.
The availability of GE personnel, resources, facilities, equipment, and stock items are subject t o prior
sale.
• Mobilization Activities / start date presently set for Monday August 29, 2016.
