With respect to the latter, the spare parts list shall include the dates by which the recommended spare parts need to be purchased and available at the Site to support the Work Progress Schedule. Although Owner shall be responsible for the costs to purchase, secure, and store any spare parts that Owner elects to acquire, Contractor shall purchase, on a timely basis (it being understood that Owner shall designate the spare parts to be purchased on a timely basis consistent with the Work Progress Schedule), such spare parts on behalf of Owner as Owner's agent and shall store and secure such spare parts until care, custody and control of the Facility is transferred to Owner pursuant to Article 2.13 . Subject to Owner's consent, which shall not be withheld unreasonably, Contractor may use any spare parts maintained on the Site by Owner. The replacement cost of Owner supplied spare parts used by Contractor, unless replaced by an equipment supplier as a warranty replacement, shall be included in the Contract Sum and chargeable against the Target Price. 2.4 Contractor's Tools and Equipment. . Contractor shall furnish all tools and equipment necessary and appropriate for the timely and safe performance and completion of the Work. 2.5.1 Contractor shall not employ, or permit any Subcontractor to employ, in connection with its performance under this Agreement any unfit person or anyone not skilled in the Work assigned to such person. Contractor agrees to promptly remove (or to require any Subcontractor to remove) from its services in connection with the Work any employee who is unfit or unskilled. If Owner has any objection to the fitness or qualifications of any person retained by Contractor to perform the Work, Owner shall so notify Contractor in writing.

Contractor further agrees to provide necessary training to its employees and Subcontractors to inform them of the foregoing safety and health rules and standards. Should Owner at any time observe Contractor, or any of its Subcontractors, performing the Work in an unsafe manner, or in a manner that may, if continued, become unsafe, then Owner shall have the right (but not the obligation) to require Contractor to stop the Work affected by the unsafe practice until such time as the manner of performing the Work has been rendered safe.

Contractor may have portions of the Work performed by its Affiliates or their employees, in which event Contractor shall be responsible for such Work and Owner will look solely to Contractor as if the Work were performed by Contractor. Owner understands that Contractor's subsidiary organizations, Fluor Global Sourcing & Supply Inc. and/or Global Sourcing & Supply International LLC (either or both referred to as "GS&S"), have negotiated proprietary and confidential "Supplier Relationship Agreements" (whether entered into by GS&S or any of their respective Affiliates, a "Contractor SRA") with various strategic suppliers of certain materials, equipment, and Work. Such Contractor SRAs contain favorable pricing and terms and conditions. If either Contractor or Owner procures materials, equipment or services using Contractor SRAs, then it is agreed that the quoted prices and terms from such Contractor SRAs are firm and not subject to audit. Notwithstanding any provision herein or in any related agreements to the contrary, neither Contractor nor GS&S shall be subject to audit or adjustment for any volume, cash, trade discounts, refunds, rebates, freight allowances, equalizations, credits, commissions or the like under any Contractor SRAs or other agreements either may have with any vendor outside of this Agreement and unrelated to the Work, and any such items shall accrue exclusively to the benefit of Contractor or GS&S. Contractor and GS&S retain the right to communicate with the vendor to notify the vendor of Contractor's rights relating to SRAs so that the vendor does not have a basis to object to continue to pay SRA volume incentives to GS&S notwithstanding the provisions in the purchase order to the contrary, if any. 2.18.2 The issuance of subcontracts shall not relieve Contractor of any of its obligations under the Contract Documents, including, among other things, the obligation to properly supervise and coordinate the work of Subcontractors. Work performed by Contractor's Affiliates shall be treated as if the Contractor had performed the Work. 2.18.3 Owner's approval of any proposed Major Subcontract shall not constitute an approval of any portion of the Work or a waiver of any of Owner's rights hereunder or reduce Contractor's responsibilities hereunder. Contractor shall provide to Owner, on request, information (other than financial information) concerning the status of the negotiations with, the performance under and any disputes under each Major Subcontract, including information concerning specifications and cancellation terms. Contractor agrees that it will not (a) terminate any Major Subcontract, (b) amend or waive any material provision of 11 a Major Subcontract, or (c) settle any dispute without Owner's consent under a Major Subcontract that affects Owner's warranty rights. 2.18.4 Notwithstanding any agreement with any Subcontractor(s), Contractor shall be solely responsible for the Work. Contractor has complete and sole responsibility as a principal for its agents and all others it hires to perform or assist in performing the Work. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Owner shall not be deemed to have any contractual obligation to any Subcontractor and nothing contained in any subcontract shall create a contractual relationship between any Subcontractor and Owner. 2.18.5 Contractor shall provide to Owner a summary of bids received for Subcontracts for Owner's review in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.3 of Exhibit A . 2.18.6 Nothing in this Article 2.18 limits Owner's audit rights to review any purchase orders issued in connection with the Work in accordance with Article 4.9 . 2.19 Assurances Regarding Payments . . Upon request from time to time, Contractor shall provide to Owner such information as Owner may reasonably request as to the status of payments from Owner to Contractor and from Contractor to Subcontractors. 2.20 Office Space. . Contractor shall provide Owner with access to Owner's existing offices at the Site for use by representatives of Owner. 2.21 Key Personnel. .
