			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>9.1 Invoicing</p>
<p>Each Party shall invoice its share of the Work to the General Contractor, and the General Contractor shall be obliged, by taking into account the invoices received from the other Parties, to bill the Customer for the Work provided under the terms of the Contract.</p>
<p>9.2 Payment Claims</p>
<p>The Parties shall open a joint escrow account at a bank on behalf of the Consortium under which all payments from the Customer are received. The Parties shall inform the bank in which split the received payments from the Customer shall be transferred to the different accounts of each Party. Such payment split shall be based upon the actual Work performed by a Party at the time the payment is being received by the Customer. If the Parties fail to inform the bank within thirty (30) days after reception of the relevant payment of the Customer onto the escrow account, the bank shall automatically split and transfer the received payment from the Customer to the different accounts of the Parties by using the Work Quota stipulated in this Agreement. </p>

<p>Each Party shall bear the bank charges for handling the payments for its share of the Work.</p>
<p>9.5 Letter of Credit / Payment Milestones </p>
<p>The General Contractor and the Parties shall use their best efforts to include an obligation by the Customer into the Customer Contract to provide a Letter of Credit. In addition, the General Contractor and the Parties shall use their best efforts to include into a potential Customer Contract a payment milestone plan that clearly attributes the payment milestones to the Works of either one of the Parties.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Parties shall endeavour to take out joint insurance wherever such is necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, coverage of property risks at a joint construction site. If there is no joint insurance coverage, each Party shall take out and maintain individual insurance policies. The Parties shall by resolution determine the minimum insurance coverage to the extent there is no contractual or statutory obligation to insure certain risks (e.g. minimum indemnity limits for special or general liability insurance). Such individual insurance policies shall contain provisions precluding the right of recourse against the other Parties, their employees, agents and subcontractors.</p>
