failure of the Subcontractor to proceed with the performance of the Subcontract Works,
due to any reason whatsoever, shall not be accepted, as a reason for delay, in the
completion of the Subcontract Works.

submit for YM's review and approval a master programme, detailing how the Subcontractor
proposes, activity-wise, to achieve completion of the Subcontract Works including penalty
milestones within the Subcontract Time Schedule indicated in Annex-G hereto.
This master programme, when approved by YM, shall be used as the basis for monitoring
progress of the Subcontractor on a periodic basis.
19.3 If at any time during the course of the Subcontract, there is a shortfall in the progress
achieved by the Subcontractor, when compared with the agreed master programme, YM
reserves the right to direct the Subcontractor to mobilize additional resources required to
make up such shortfall. Should the Subcontractor fail to do so, YM shall be at liberty to take
the required measures (including, but not limited to, appointing other
Subcontractors/agencies) to make up such shortfall. The costs incurred by YM, including
YM's overheads in this connection shall be recovered from the Subcontractor, from

percent (10%) of the Subcontract Price.

indicated therein, the Subcontractor shall, until achievement of such penalty milestones,
pay YM by way of penalties the amounts as stated therein. Such penalties shall be payable
irrespective of the cause of the failure, save when and to the extent the failure is caused by
delays solely attributable to YM or solely attributable to the Employer or by Force Majeure
conditions. Provided however, that the Subcontractor must demonstrate to YM's
satisfaction that any such delays are solely attributable to YM, the Employer or Force
Majeure and have been a direct cause of a delay in the execution of the Subcontract Works,
taking into account the Subcontractor's actual progress at the time of the delay.
20.3 The sum payable by the Subcontractor to YM, by way of penalties, shall become due on the
failure of the Subcontractor, to achieve completion of any of the penalty milestones and
without any notice of default or judicial intervention being required from YM.
Whether or not YM shall have imposed penalties on the Subcontractor, for a failure to
achieve the scheduled completion dates, YM shall also be entitled to claim from the
Subcontractor damages for losses incurred by YM and/or the Employer and in assessing the
amount of such losses, no account shall be taken of the penalties paid or payable.

claims, all sort of indemnities, legal proceedings, penalties, fines and other charges, arising

materials, goods or equipment procured by the Subcontractor, the warranty period
of such replaced or modified part of the work shall be extended by a period
equivalent to the original warranty period, if necessary repetitively.

from the issue of the Final Acceptance Certificate and which are attributable to the
Subcontractor, its Subcontractors or personnel. In this Clause, the term "latent defect" shall

prevented by Force Majeure, provided that the Subcontractor shall have benefit of this
provision, only if it takes all reasonable steps to protect the Subcontract Works and
minimize the effects of any Force Majeure event on the Subcontract Works and the
progress thereof.

the Subcontract, that Party shall notify the other Party immediately and not later than

based on a strict evaluation by YM of both the interpretation of Force Majeure in
accordance with this Clause, and the Subcontractor's efforts to mitigate its effect, as
assessed by YM. The acceptance by either Party of the other's claim of Force Majeure shall
not be considered a waiver of either Party's obligations under this Subcontract.

date of suspension, but shall continue to work and perform on any unsuspended part of the
Subcontract Works. During the suspension, Subcontractor shall properly protect and secure
the Subcontract Works so far as necessary as YM's instruction.
25.2 If the suspension of the Subcontract Works is not attributable to any mistake, error or
default of the Subcontractor and should be of such duration as to entitle the Subcontractor
in YM's reasonable judgment to an extension of the completion date, the Parties shall
negotiate and agree such an extension. The Subcontractor shall not be entitled to claim any
compensation from YM due to any reason whatsoever for the suspension of the
Subcontract Works.
25.3 YM may, at any time, authorize resumption of the suspended part of the Subcontract

default. If the Subcontractor does not commence remedy of the default within five

regard exceed the unpaid balance of the Subcontract Price, the Subcontractor shall
reimburse YM such excess within ten (10) days after receipt of an invoice therefore.
The rights and remedies provided in this Clause are in addition to the rights and
remedies provided by law, equity, or under any other Clause in this Subcontract.

labourers, suppliers or any other creditors, including YM.
26.1.2 In the event of a termination under Clause 26.1.1, YM may use all or part of the
Subcontractor's construction equipment, tools and facilities at site, and any
materials, permanent equipment and supplies, in the performance of the
Subcontract Works, without payment to the Subcontractor, otherwise than by the
extent such use of the Subcontractor's items causes a reduction of cost of
completing the Subcontract Works. If the Subcontractor's compensation is on a
cost reimbursable basis for such equipment, tools or facilities, the Subcontractor
will be reimbursed for use of construction equipment at the lowest applicable rate
provided for herein or at prevailing rental rates if no rate is specified, and the cost
of the Subcontractor's materials used.

fully as if they were the acts, defaults or neglects of the Subcontractor.
