dates or performance criteria may result in termination of the PWPA and/or a claim under
the performance bond.

Dispatch Procedures

KAHRAMAA (or another party on behalf of KAHRAMAA) will issue dispatch

instructions to the Company, based on availability declarations made by the Company.

Testing of the Facility

The PWPA will provide for the performance of acceptance tests for the purpose of
commissioning the Facility, which must be duly completed in order to achieve the COD.

9
 FACILITY E POWER AND WATER PROJECT
PRE-QUALIFICATION QUESTIONNAIRE (PQQ)

Among other requirements, the acceptance tests will comprise tests for functionality,
contracted capacity, efficiency, reliability and health, safety & environmental
compliance. Once the COD has occurred, the PWPA will require the Company to
undertake plant performance tests on a regular basis to determine the actual capacity
of the Project which is available for dispatch and whether the capacity of the Project
must be de-rated, the results of which will be taken into account in the payment of the
Capacity Charge.

4.3.2 Fuel Supply Agreement

The Company will be required to enter into Fuel Supply Agreements with Qatar
Petroleum providing for the supply of fuel for the generation of Power and production of
Potable Water under the PWPA.

The FSA(s) contain the principal commercial and legal terms governing the supplies of
fuel, and the purchase thereof by the Company.

4.3.3 Government Guarantee

It is intended that the State of Qatar will issue a Government Guarantee guaranteeing
the payment obligations of KAHRAMAA under the PWPA. The form of Government
Guarantee will be provided in the RFB.

4.3.4 Connection Equipment Transfer Agreement

The Company may be required to enter into an agreement with KAHRAMAA for the
transfer to KAHRAMAA of legal title to the Connection Equipment following completion
of its construction.
