CONSTRUCTION AGENCY AGREEMENT
     THIS CONSTRUCTION AGENCY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of May 14, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), between The North Carolina Global TransPark Authority, a body politic and corporate of the State of North Carolina (the “Landlord”) and Spirit AeroSystems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Construction Agent”).
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
     A. Landlord and Construction Agent are parties to that certain Lease Agreement dated as of May 14, 2008 (as amended, modified, extended, supplemented, restated and/or replaced from time to time, the “Lease”), pursuant to which Construction Agent, as tenant (in such capacity, the “Tenant”) has agreed to lease that certain Land and Improvements (collectively, the “Leased Premises”) located at the Global TransPark, in Lenoir County, North Carolina.
     B. In connection with the Lease and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, (i) Landlord desires to appoint Construction Agent as its sole and exclusive agent in connection with the construction of the Improvements and (ii) Construction Agent desires to accept such appointment in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS; RULES OF USAGE
     1.1. Definitions.
     For purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Lease. Unless otherwise indicated, references in this Agreement to articles, sections, paragraphs, clauses, appendices, schedules and exhibits are to the same contained in this Agreement.
     1.2. Interpretation.
     The rules of usage set forth in Section 35 of the Lease shall apply to this Agreement.
ARTICLE II
APPOINTMENT OF THE CONSTRUCTION AGENT
     2.1. Appointment.
     Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Landlord hereby designates and appoints Construction Agent as its exclusive agent, and Construction Agent accepts such appointment, in

 


 

connection with the construction of Landlord’s Alterations more particularly described in the preliminary drawings for Project Alpha, an aerospace manufacturing facility, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit “A” (collectively, the “Initial Plans and Specifications”). For purposes hereof, the “Work” means all construction services, work of all trades, all labor materials, equipment and services provided or to be provided by the GC under the Construction Agreement and as is otherwise necessary to complete the improvements described in the Plans and Specifications.
     2.2. Construction Contracts and Plans and Specifications.
     (a) In connection with the prosecution of the Work, Construction Agent, acting as agent for the benefit of Landlord, agrees to retain The Haskell Company (the “GC”) to prepare the plans and specifications for the Work and to act as the general contractor for the prosecution of the Work. The Work will be performed pursuant to a design-build, guaranteed maximum price agreement (the “Construction Agreement”) with the GC in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Construction Agent. The Construction Agreement will include a covenant that GC will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with Section 63A-19 of the North Carolina General Statutes concerning goals for participation by minorities, women and the disabled.
     (b) Upon execution of this Agreement, Construction Agent shall cause the GC to prepare (i) detailed schematic architectural drawings and specifications for the Work (together with the Initial Plans and Specifications, the “Schematic Plans and Specifications”), (ii) a detailed budget based on the Schematic Plans and Specifications (the “Schematic Budget”) and (iii) an estimate for a guaranteed maximum price (the “Estimated GMP”). Upon completion of a draft Construction Agreement that Construction Agent and the GC are prepared to execute, the Schematic Plans and Specifications, the Schematic Budget and the Estimated GMP (collectively, “Construction Deliverables”), Construction Agent shall forward such Construction Deliverables to Landlord for its review and approval. Landlord shall have a right to object to only those matters set forth in the Construction Deliverables which would (i) violate any material term of this Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents, (ii) violate applicable federal, state or county law, (iii) violate the terms and conditions of the agreements between Landlord and Lenoir County, North Carolina that are listed on Exhibit “B” to this Agreement (collectively, the “County Agreements”), or (iv) violate the terms of the GLF Grant Agreement. The Construction Agent acknowledges that Landlord’s approvals of the Construction Deliverables under Section 2.2(b) above are subject to obtaining the approval of GLF. If Landlord or GLF fail to object within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of the Contract Deliverables, Landlord and GLF shall be deemed to have approved the Construction Deliverables.
     (c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon Landlord’s and GLF’s approval of the Construction Deliverables, Landlord will authorize Construction Agent in writing to execute, acting as the agent for the benefit of Landlord, (i) the Construction Agreement and (ii) such other construction agreements necessary for the prosecution and completion of the Work (collectively, the “Work Agreements”), solely as agent for Landlord up to the amount of the Construction Allowance and for its own account for any amount in excess thereof. The

2


 

Work Agreements may provide that Landlord shall be solely responsible for performance by Landlord as “owner” thereunder; provided, however, the GC and all other applicable contractors shall agree that any claim for breach and/or damages under each Work Agreement shall be limited to a liquidated amount not to exceed the Construction Allowance. Construction Agent will agree to be obligated for all Additional Costs. Copies of all Work Agreements shall be provided to Landlord promptly following execution thereof.
     (d) Within 120 days of approval of the Construction Deliverables and Construction Agent’s execution of the Construction Agreement, Construction Agent, acting as agent for the benefit of Landlord, shall (i) cause the GC to complete and finalize the bidding of the Work, (ii) develop the Schematic Plans and Specifications into design, plans and drawings and construction plans and drawings (the approved plans, drawings and specifications for Landlord’s Alterations being referred to herein as the “Plans and Specifications”), (iii) develop and refine the Schematic Budget until a final guaranteed maximum price (the “GMP”) and a final budget (the “Budget”) is agreed between Construction Agent and the GC and (iv) provide evidence that the insurance required hereunder is being maintained by the GC in the form required hereunder.
     (e) As long as the Plans and Specifications do not constitute a Material Modification of the Schematic Plans and Specifications, and as long as the final GMP is within ten percent (10%) of the Estimated GMP, then the Construction Agent shall not need to obtain further consents or approvals from the Landlord or the GLF in respect of the Plans and Specifications, the GMP and the Budget; provided, that, Construction Agent shall provide copies of final Plans and Specifications and the final Budget to the Landlord when complete. Otherwise, if the final Plans and Specifications constitute a Material Modification from the approved Schematic Plans and Specifications or if the final GMP is greater or less than the Estimated GMP by more than ten percent (10%), then final Plans and Specifications, final Budget and final GMP shall be subject to the approval of the Landlord (and the GLF), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Thereafter, prior to making any material changes or amendments to the Construction Agreement, the Plans and Specifications or the Budget, Construction Agent shall forward the proposed change or amendment to Landlord for its review and approval. Landlord shall have a right to object to only those changes or amendments to the Construction Agreement, the Plans and Specifications or the Budget which would (i) violate any material term of this Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents, (ii) violate applicable federal, state or county law, (iii) violate the terms and conditions of any of the County Agreements, (iv) violate the terms of the GLF Grant Agreement or (v) result in a Material Modification of the Work as described in the Plans and Specifications. The failure of Landlord to object within ten (10) business days of receipt of the proposed change or amendment shall be deemed acceptance thereof.
     2.3. Acceptance and Undertaking.
     Construction Agent hereby unconditionally accepts the agency appointment and undertakes, for the benefit of Landlord, to cause to be completed the Work in accordance with this Agreement, the Lease and the Work Agreements (collectively, the “Operative Documents”). To the extent of Escrow Funds available, Landlord agrees to cooperate with all of Construction

3


 

Agent’s reasonable requests for information and to sign any applications reasonably required for the prosecution of the Work.
     2.4. Term.
     This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall expire on the Completion Date (the “Construction Period”), except with respect to those obligations which by their terms survive termination or expiration hereunder.
     2.5. Scope of Authority.

withholding of such approval caused an actual delay in the construction of the Work, the Outside Completion Date shall automatically be extended for the period of any such delay.
ARTICLE VI
CONSTRUCTION PERIOD EVENTS OF DEFAULT
     6.1. Construction Period Events of Default.
     If any one (1) or more of the following events (each a “Construction Period Event of Default”) shall occur:
     (a) subject to Section 7.1, the Completion Date does not occur on or before the Construction Deadline;
     (b) subject to Section 7.1, Construction Agent fails to complete the Work by the Outside Completion Date;
     (c) any Event of Default shall have occurred under the Lease and not be cured within any cure period expressly permitted under the terms of the Lease; and
     (d) subject to Section 7.1, Construction Agent shall fail to observe or perform any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement or the Work Agreements in any material respect and such failure to observe or perform any such term, covenant or condition shall continue uncured for more than sixty (60) days after Construction Agent has received written notice thereof (or such longer period as is necessary to effect a cure if Construction Agent is diligently pursuing such cure during such extended period);
then, in any such event, Landlord may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, all other rights and remedies being hereby released and waived, terminate this Agreement by giving Construction Agent written notice of such termination (and upon the expiration of the time fixed in such notice, this Agreement shall terminate) and demand payment of the Liquidated Damages Amount as contemplated by the Inducement Agreement. In the event Landlord terminates this Agreement and the Lease upon the occurrence of a Construction Period Event of Default, the parties acknowledge that it would be extremely difficult to determine precisely the amount of actual damage that would be suffered by Landlord due to such Event of Default but that the Liquidated Damages Amount is a fair and reasonable determination of the amount of actual damages that would be suffered by Landlord for such event of default and that these liquidated damages do not constitute a penalty. The remedies set forth in this Section 6.1 are the sole and exclusive remedy of the Landlord for a Construction Period Event of Default (other than Landlord’s rights under the indemnities contained in the Lease which, by the express terms thereof, are to survive the termination of the Lease).

ARTICLE VII
CONSTRUCTION FORCE MAJEURE EVENTS
     7.1. Construction Force Majeure Events.
     (a) If a Construction Force Majeure Event prevents, or could reasonably be expected to prevent, Construction Agent from completing the Improvements prior to the Outside Completion Date, Construction Agent shall promptly provide Landlord with written notice thereof within fifteen (15) days of Construction Agent’s knowledge of the occurrence thereof (the “Construction Force Majeure Declaration”). Upon receipt of the Construction Force Majeure Declaration, Landlord and Construction Agent shall consult with each other as to what steps, if any, are to be taken to remediate such Construction Force Majeure Event, including consulting as to the appropriateness of an extension of the Outside Completion Date to the extent reasonably necessary to address such Construction Force Majeure Event. Construction Agent shall take all commercially reasonable and lawful measures in its role as Construction Agent necessary to minimize the disruption of the construction process and to prevent further damage arising from such Construction Force Majeure Event. Construction Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement for any costs directly related to minimizing the disruption and to preventing further damage of such Construction Force Majeure Event, and Landlord shall authorize Escrow Agent to fund such reimbursement from the Escrow Funds. Construction Agent shall, within twenty (20) days of the delivery of the Construction Force Majeure Declaration, submit to Landlord a budget detailing the costs that would be incurred in remediating such Construction Force Majeure Event and a schedule for effecting the same. Landlord may object to the Construction Agent’s remediation plan only for the reasons Landlord could object to the Plans and Specification as set forth in Section 2.2. Construction Agent will commence such remediation upon Landlord’s approval of the remediation plan.
     (b) When Landlord authorizes Construction Agent’s remediation plan, Landlord shall make available to Construction Agent the Net Award or Net Proceeds payable to Landlord with respect to such event to the extent necessary to remediate such event upon presentation of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and the Construction Consultant that the work contemplated by the remediation plan has been performed.
