              (i)

            	
              Turbine Mechanical
      Completion.  When Contractor believes it has achieved
      Turbine Mechanical Completion for any Turbine, Contractor shall notify
      Owner with the submittal of a Turbine Mechanical Completion Certificate in
      the form of Exhibit B
      applicable to the identified Turbine, stating the date of Turbine
      Mechanical Completion and identifying the Turbine completed, which shall
      include the Turbine Mechanical Completion Checklist, in the form of Exhibit
      B.  Thereafter, Owner and [name intentionally omitted]
      shall determine whether Turbine Mechanical Completion has in fact been
      achieved for such Turbine pursuant to the Turbine Supply Agreement and
      Owner shall thereafter either (i) notify Contractor that Turbine
      Mechanical Completion for the identified Turbine has been achieved or (ii)
      notify Contractor that Turbine Mechanical Completion has not been achieved
      and stating the reasons therefor.  In the event Owner provides
      written notice that Turbine Mechanical Completion has not been achieved,
      Contractor shall take action to correct any defective work adversely
      affecting the achievement of Turbine Mechanical Completion of such
      Turbine.  Upon completion of such corrective and remedial
      actions, if any are necessary, Contractor shall notify Owner that it
      believes Turbine Mechanical Completion has been achieved and the foregoing
      procedures shall be repeated until Turbine Mechanical Completion has in
      fact been achieved for such Turbine.  In the event Turbine
      Mechanical Completion has not been achieved and the reason(s) the Turbine
      Mechanical Completion has not been achieved is the result of defects in
      the Turbine, the negligent acts or omissions of Owner,  or any
      Person under its control (other than Contractor and its Subcontractors),
      or events of Force Majeure which so prevent Turbine Mechanical Completion
      from being achieved for the Turbine(s) covered by the notice, Contractor
      shall be entitled to a Change Order with respect to the Schedule and the
      Contract Price.

            


    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (ii)

            	
              If
      Contractor fails to achieve Turbine Mechanical Completion of (i) at least
      four (4) Turbines by December 31, 2009 (the “Initial Scheduled Mechanical
      Completion Date”), as such date may be extended in accordance with the
      terms of this Contract, or (ii) the remaining Turbines by February 25,
      2010 (the “Scheduled Mechanical Completion Date”), as such date may be
      extended in accordance with the terms of this Contract, and the reason for
      such delay is solely attributable to Contractor or Subcontractor caused
      delays, then after taking into account any adjustments to the Schedule,
      Contractor shall pay to Owner an amount equal to One Hundred Dollars
      ($100.00) per day for each Turbine that Contractor has failed to achieve
      Turbine Mechanical Completion (“Delay Liquidated Damages”).  The
      Delay Liquidated Damages are Owner’s sole and exclusive remedy and
      Contractor’s sole and exclusive liability with respect to Contractor’s
      failure to timely achieve Turbine Mechanical Completion.  This
      remedy shall include damages which Owner may incur for lost revenues, lost
      profits, additional project management costs, extended or increased
      overhead of Owner and all other delay or time related
      costs.  Owner and Contractor further agree that (i) the Delay
      Liquidated Damages are a good faith estimate of the damages Owner would
      suffer; and (ii) Contractor shall in no event be responsible for payment
      of any other liquidated damages, of any kind, to
  Owner.

              The
      Owner shall have the right and the authority to reject Work which is
      defective or deficient, or which otherwise does not conform to this
      Contract.  If the Contractor fails to correct defective or

      carry out the Work in accordance with this Contract, the Owner may, by a
      written directive, order the Contractor to stop the Work, or any portion
      thereof, until the cause for such order has been
      eliminated.  The Contractor shall not have any claim for a
      reimbursement of costs or expenses from the Owner, or any extension in the
      Schedule, due to a stoppage in the Work as provided in this
      Section.

Fee”).

            


    

     

    The
Parties acknowledge and agree that the Deferred Fee and the BOP Fee represent
Contractor’s aggregate compensation for the performance of the Work and
completion of the Project.  Such amounts are subject to adjustment
only: (i) pursuant to the change order process set forth in Section 5 herein;
and (ii) with respect to the Deferred Fee only, may be adjusted (without a
change order) to include reasonable out-of-pocket travel expenses of Contractor
or other fees which become payable to third parties that: (x) are actually
incurred by Contractor, (y) are not included in the Deferred Fee because they
could not have been reasonably foreseen by Contractor as of the date of this
Contract and (z) in no circumstance exceed $80,000 in the individual or $150,000
in the aggregate.

     

    4.           Timing and Method of
Payment.  Furthermore, the Parties acknowledge
that:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (a)

            	
              The
      Deferred Fee shall not become due and payable and shall in no way be
      deemed earned by Contractor unless and until (i) the Project has achieved
      Substantial Completion, (ii) all amounts owed by Owner under the Financing
      Agreement have been paid in full and there are no amounts remaining due
      and outstanding under the Financing Agreement, and (iii) any other payment
      subordination restrictions on the payment of the Deferred Fee have been
      satisfied; provided that, at such time as conditions (i), (ii) and (iii)
      are satisfied, Contractor may, if the BOP Fee has been paid in cash in
      full or converted into equity of each Generator LLC as contemplated
      hereunder, convert the Deferred Fee into equity in a form and subject to
      terms and conditions to be mutually agreed by the Parties at the time of
      such conversion.

            


    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (b)

            	
              (i)  Payment
      of the BOP Fee shall be paid partially by a junior secured convertible
      promissory note from Owner to Contractor (the “Note”) in the form as
      attached in Exhibit F, the amount to become due and owing shall be
      advanced to a maximum amount of $8,200,000 (the “Maximum Amount”) (and
      thus the advanced amount shall become the balance due under the Note)
      solely through Applications for Payment (as defined below) in accordance
      with the following:

            


    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (1)

            	
              An
      initial Application for Payment in the amount of Seven Hundred Fifty
      Thousand Dollars ($750,000), as a mobilization fee, upon execution of this
      Contract.

              (2)

            	
              On
      or before the tenth (10th) day of each subsequent month, Contractor shall
      request payment (the “Application for Payment”) for all Work performed and
      not paid for during the previous calendar month (the “Pay
      Period”).  Each Application for Payment shall be accompanied by
      the following, all in form and substance satisfactory to Owner: (A) a duly
      executed and acknowledged sworn statement showing all Subcontractors with
      whom Contractor or any Subcontractor of Contractor has entered into
      subcontracts, the amount of any such subcontracts and the amount to be
      paid for such Pay Period as part of the BOP Fee from any such
      Subcontractors; (B) Duly executed waivers of mechanics’, materialmen’s and
      construction liens in the form of Exhibit G (“Partial Lien Waivers”)
      related to the amount requested in the Application for Payment,
      conditioned solely, and immediately effective, upon the Owner’s payment of
      such amount due; and (C) Partial Lien Waivers from each of the
      Subcontractors and suppliers for the BOP Work establishing satisfaction of
      payment for the Application for Payment that immediately preceded the Pay
      Period.

            


    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (3)

            	
              The
      Application for Payment shall constitute Contractor’s representation that
      the Work has been performed consistent with this Contract and the Project
      Documents (collectively, the “Contract Documents”) and has progressed to
      the point indicated in the Application for
  Payment.

            


    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (4)

            	
              Within
      ten (10) days after Owner’s receipt of each Application for Payment, Owner
      shall make a payment to Contractor of all amounts properly due, but in
      each case less the total of payments previously made to
      Contractor.

            


    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (5)

            	
              The
      Application for Payment may request payment for: (i) completed Work; and
      (ii) prepayments for materials or equipment for the Project when such
      prepayment request is accompanied by an invoice from the manufacturer or
      supplier of such materials or equipment demonstrating that prepayment is
      required for such materials or
equipment.

            


    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (6)

            	
              Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, an Application for Payment may not be made for amounts
      associated with the following: engineering work and drawings completed by
      Contractor prior to the date hereof, payment made by contractor for a
      transmission interconnection switch acquired prior to the date hereof;
      work related to the SWPPP permit that was not a portion of the original
      scope of the work; and a Contractor construction hold-back in the amount
      of $639,500.  Such amounts shall become due and owing, and shall
      be eligible for conversion in accordance with, the provisions set forth
      Section 4(a).

            


    

     

    
      
         


      

      
        12

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (7)

            	
              On
      or before the then applicable payment date set forth in Subsection
      4(b)(i)(2), Owner shall pay Contractor all amounts properly due for which
      an Application for Payment has been provided.  If Owner
      reasonably believes that Contractor is not entitled to all or part of an
      Application for Payment, Owner will notify Contractor in writing at least
      five (5) days prior to the date payment is due.  The notice
      shall indicate the specific amounts Owner intends to withhold, the reasons
      and contractual basis for the withholding, and the specific measures
      Contractor must take to rectify Owner’s concerns.  Contractor
      and Owner will attempt to resolve the concerns prior to the date payment
      is due.  If the Parties cannot resolve such concerns, Contractor
      may pursue its rights under the Contract
      Documents.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
      Contract Documents, Owner shall pay Contractor all undisputed amounts in
      an Application for Payment within the times required
      hereunder.

            


    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (8)

            	
              Contractor
      shall deliver to Owner a request for final payment (the “Final Application
      for Payment”) when Final Completion has been achieved in accordance with
      the Contract Documents, including Application for Payment for all amounts
      due Subcontractors. Owner shall make final payment within ten (10) days
      following receipt of the Final Application for Payment (“Final
      Payment”).  Such Final Payment may only be made pursuant to the
      Note.

            


    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (9)

            	
              The
      Final Application for Payment shall be accompanied by the following, all
      in form and substance satisfactory to Owner: (A) a duly executed and
      acknowledged sworn statement showing all Subcontractors with whom
      Contractor or any Subcontractor of Contractor has entered into
      subcontracts, the amount of any such subcontracts and the amount to be
      paid as part of the BOP Fee from any such Subcontractors; (B) Duly
      executed waivers of mechanics’, materialmen’s and construction liens in
      the form of Exhibit G (“Final Lien Waivers”) related to the amount
      requested in the Final Application for Payment,; and (C) Final Lien
      Waivers from each of the Subcontractors and suppliers for the BOP Work
      establishing satisfaction of payment for the Final Application for
      Payment.

    (ii)           Notwithstanding
Subsection 4(b)(i), the Parties agree that the BOP Fee up to the Maximum Amount
shall be deemed paid pursuant to a borrowing under the Note, in a corresponding
amount of the payment due under each Application for Payment as the same become
due pursuant to Subsection 4(b)(i).  The portion of the BOP Fee up to
the Maximum Amount shall (and may only) be paid via the Note and all amounts due
under the Note shall be secured by a security agreement between Owner and
Contractor, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (the “Security
Agreement”).  The Note and Security Agreement shall be subordinate to
the Financing Agreement, as the same may be refinanced by any means, extended,
renewed, defeased, supplemented, restructured, replaced, refunded or repaid or
replaced with other indebtedness in exchange or replacement for such
indebtedness, in whole or in part, whether with the same or different lenders,
arrangers or agents, including but not limited to replacement in whole or in
party by any “take-out” financing (collectively,
the “Senior Obligations”) by [name intentionally omitted] or any other person
(the “Senior Lender”) and a pledge of Contractor’s proportionate share
(as such share has been determined by and between [name intentionally omitted]
and Contractor in a separate Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement (the
“Intercreditor Agreement”)) of amounts due from the United States Treasury
Department as a tax grant under Section 65 of the Internal Revenue
Code.  For the avoidance of doubt, Contractor covenants with Owner
that Contractor will not grant [name intentionally omitted] a security interest
in the Note.  In addition, Contractor
shall request and Owner shall grant, subject to the terms and conditions
of the Financing Agreement and related Security Documents (as such term is
defined therein) within ten (10) days of the date hereof, a second leasehold
mortgage on the real property that comprises the Project Site to Contractor to
secure the Note (the “Junior Mortgage”).  The Junior Mortgage shall be
in a form agreed to by Contractor, Owner and [name intentionally omitted] (in
their reasonable discretion) and shall be, at all times, subordinate to any
mortgage, lien, pledge, security interest, charge or encumbrance held by [name
intentionally omitted] or and any other Senior Lender.

     

    (iii)  In
addition Contractor may, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Note and
Security Agreement, convert the portion of the BOP Fee that is paid via a Note
into equity of each of the Generator LLCs as provided below; provided, however,
that: (A) absent the express written consent of [name intentionally
omitted] to such conversion and the documents related to such conversion,
including the member controlagreement, which consent, so long as Contractor
shall include a pledge of such equity interest to [name intentionally omitted]
incident to such conversion, shall not be unreasonably withheld, no such
conversion shall occur unless and until all amounts owed by Owner to [name
intentionally omitted] under the Financing Agreement have been paid in full and
there are no amounts remaining due and outstanding under the Financing
Agreement; and (B) no conversion may take place prior to the time the Note is in
default pursuant to the terms thereof if, in the reasonable opinion of Owner,
such conversion would have a material adverse impact on the ability of the Owner
to receive financing or additional equity investment for the
Project.  The following provisions shall apply to any permitted
conversion of the Note by Contractor (pursuant to this paragraph):

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              A.

            	
              Owner
      hereby irrevocably consents to the transfer and assignment of Contractor’s
      rights under this Contract, the Note and the Security
      Agreement.  Such transfer and assignment shall not, however,
      relieve Contractor of any of its obligations hereunder.  Any
      transferee or assignee under the Note shall have the same rights with
      respect to this Contract, the Note and the Security Agreement as
      Contractor has and as are set forth in the Note and Security
      Agreement;

            


    


    
      
         


      

      
        14

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              B.

            	
              Each
      Generator LLC hereby covenants with Contractor that it shall, upon written
      request from Contractor and subject to the restrictions set forth above
      and in the Financing Agreement, as conditioned by the Intercreditor
      Agreement, issue such equity in a manner equivalent and on a par with
      other equity investors providing cash investment into the Project and
      shall credit Contractor with the total amount due under the Note in such
      conversion, including any interest due or payable under the
      Note.  Such equity shall be delivered in the name designated by
      Contractor or its transferee or assignee of this Contract, the Note and
      the Security Agreement.  Owner shall not take any action (or
      fail to take any action) that would prevent the issuance of such equity as
      contemplated under the Note and Security
  Agreement.

            


    

    


    5.           Change
Orders.   Contractor may only seek changes to the Work,
the Contract Price, and Schedule (each a “Change Order”) pursuant to the
provisions and conditions set forth in Sections 5(a) and 5(d) of this
Contract.  In the event there shall be a Change Order, the Parties
hereto shall work to minimize the economic and Schedule impact of any such
change.  All Change Orders shall be set forth in a written change
order stating: (i) the change in the Work; (ii) the amount of the adjustment in
the Contract Price  broken out as part of the Deferred Fee and, if
applicable, the BOP Fee, and (iii) the adjustment to the
Schedule.  The Change Order will be agreed upon by the Parties and
executed by both Parties prior to either Party being bound by any
change.  For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed by
the parties hereto that there shall be no permissible Change Order for the
provision of an additional Manitowac 999 crane that Contractor has agreed to
supply as a portion of the Work pursuant to this Agreement.

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (a)

            	
              Change Order
      Process.  Owner or Contractor may request changes in the
      Work within the general scope of this Contract consisting of additions,
      deletions, or other revisions.  Should either Party so desire to
      change the Work or observe a change to the Work such Party shall submit a
      change request to the other Party in writing.  If Contractor
      requests a change, it shall propose the change to Owner who may either
      accept or reject the request for a change in its discretion, and such
      decision shall be final with respect to such request.  If Owner
      requests a change, within five (5) business days of
      receipt of such request or such reasonable time as required to complete an
      estimate, Contractor shall submit a proposal to the Owner stating the
      adjustment to the Contract Price which would result from such change, and
      the effect, on the Schedule by reason of such proposed
      change.  The Owner shall promptly accept or reject in writing
      Contractor’s proposals in relation to the change.  If the Owner
      agrees with the proposal for the change, the Parties shall execute a
      Change Order reflecting the change in the Work and proposed adjustments to
      the Contract Price (stating which adjustments are Deferred Fee amounts and
      which are BOP Fee amounts, respectively) and the Schedule.  In
      the event that the Owner rejects Contractor’s proposal for the change, the
      Owner may notify Contractor that the Owner has decided to withdraw or
      modify its requested change.  Should the Owner fail to respond
      to Contractor in writing within five (5) business days of Owner’s receipt
      of the proposal, the Owner shall be deemed to have withdrawn its requested
      change, if such was the circumstances that initiated the
      discussion.

            


    

     

    
      
         


      

      
        15

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (b)

            	
              [Name intentionally
      omitted] Consent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
      event that: (i) any single Change Order could have the result of (X)
      changing any of the Schedule milestones within this Contract by ten (10)
      or more business days or (Y) increase the Contract Price by $80,000 or
      more; or (ii) that the cumulative effect of all Change Orders under the
      Contract could have the result of (X) changing any of the Schedule
      milestones within this Contract by fifteen (15) or more business days or
      (Y) increase the Contract Price by $150,000 or more, then, except if the
      Change Order is a result of a delay in Turbine delivery, such Change Order
      shall not be effective under this Contract absent the prior written
      consent of [name intentionally omitted].  Such consent shall be
      granted in [name intentionally omitted] reasonable discretion, based on
      its evaluation of the change and the impacts on the Schedule and economics
      of the Project; provided, if [name intentionally omitted] has not provided
      its consent or written evidence of its rejection of such change within two
      (2) business days after [name intentionally omitted] receipt of written
      notice of the same, [name intentionally omitted] shall be deemed to have
      consented to such change.

            


    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (c)

            	
              Disputes Regarding
      Change Orders.  If Owner requests a Change Order, but the
      Parties are unable to mutually agree upon a Change Order, Contractor shall
      (if Owner so directs) perform the Work on a cost-reimbursable basis to
      comply with Owner’s requested requirements (and identify whether the costs
      are Deferred Fee amounts or BOP Fee amounts) and be entitled to an
      equitable adjustment in the Schedule, including reimbursement for all
      costs, including labor costs, (all at Contractor’s cost) actually incurred
      by Contractor (“Reimbursable
Costs”).

            


    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (d)

            	
              Procedures upon a
      Force Majeure Event.  If Owner or Contractor is rendered
      wholly or partially unable to perform its obligations under the Contract
      Documents (defined below) as a result of an act of God, Weather Delays (as
      defined below) or other unforeseen condition beyond the reasonable control
      of such Party which could not have been avoided, prevented or resolved by
      such Party’s commercially reasonable efforts and which was not caused by
      such Party’s negligence or a breach or failure to perform its obligations
      hereunder (a “Force Majeure Event”), such Party shall comply with the
      following conditions precedent to the right to seek an equitable
      adjustment:

            


    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (i)

            	
              The
      affected Party shall give the other Party written notice describing the
      particulars of the occurrence, such notice to be given promptly after the
      occurrence of the Force Majeure Event and no more than three (3) calendar
      days after the affected Party becomes aware of such occurrence, which
      notice shall include an estimate of the Force Majeure Event’s expected
      duration and probable impact on the performance of the affected Party’s
      obligations hereunder, and the affected Party shall continue to furnish
      timely, regular reports during the continuation of the Force Majeure
      Event;

              (ii)

            	
              The
      suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope and of no longer

              The

      Change Order shall be executed by Owner and Contractor to account for the
      adverse effects, if any, on Contractor’s performance of its obligations by
      the Force Majeure Event; and

              Calculation
      of the change to the Contract Price as a result of a Force Majeure Event

  mark-up.

      Force Majeure Event which is in the nature of a Weather Delay, Contractor
      shall be entitled to a Change Order solely with respect to the Schedule
      and shall not be entitled to any adjustment in the Contract
      Price.

      premises and take possession, for the purpose of completing the Work, of
      the Project Site and all materials and equipment which have been purchased
      by Owner for the performance of the Work, all of which Contractor hereby

      Contractor.  If the cost of finishing the Work exceeds the
      unpaid balance of the Contract Price, the Contractor shall immediately pay
      the difference to the Owner.  The cost of Owner completing the
      Work shall include, without limitation, the cost of any additional design,
      engineering, managerial and administrative services required thereby,
      reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and any other costs, expenses or

      shall pay Contractor for the following: (i) to the extent not already
      paid, all Work executed, and for proven loss, cost or expense in
      connection with the Work; (ii) the reasonable costs and expenses
      attributable to such termination, including demobilization costs; and
      (iii) out-of-pocket costs and amounts due in settlement of terminated
      contracts with Subcontractors and suppliers.  All such amounts
      shall not be subject to payment by installments or pursuant to the Note,
      but rather must be paid on the date of termination by wire
      transfer.  A schedule outlining the aggregate termination
      payments is attached hereto as Exhibit

      collapse, flood, earthquake, debris removal and other perils or causes of
      loss and without application of any deductible, retention or retrospective
      premium.  The builder’s risk policy shall be written on a
      replacement cost basis.  The property insurance shall be
      endorsed to cover physical loss or damage to the Work and all goods in
      transit including the Turbines, materials and equipment in transit, at the
      Project Site or at another location.  Contractor shall provide a

      Work (i) will be performed in accordance with generally accepted
      professional standards for each such relevant profession and will be
      performed in a good and workmanlike manner (including, without limitation,

      accordance with, all Applicable Laws, (iii) will be performed in
      accordance with prudent utility practices and the requirements, and (iv)
      will meet the requirements and specifications provided by Contractor, the

              (b)

            	
              Contractor
      shall, after discovery of any breach of the Warranty during the Warranty
      Period or notice of the same to Contractor by Owner or Owner’s contractors
      during the Warranty Period, at its sole cost and expense (including the
      cost of labor and equipment) and as promptly as reasonably practicable,
      correct such breach of Warranty and repair or replace any defective Work,
      material, or equipment with materials of new and good quality and correct
      any material damage caused by such breach of the Warranty.  The
      Warranty shall commence on the date the Work is completed and shall remain
      in full force and effect for a period of twelve (12) months from the date
      the Work is completed (the “Warranty Period”).  Any portion of
      the Work which has been repaired, replaced or otherwise corrected during
      the preceding Warranty Period shall be warranted by the Contractor for an
      additional twelve (12) month period from the date of completion of such
      repair, replacement or correction.  If Contractor does not so
      commence and diligently pursue a remedy within seven (7) business days
      after receipt of written notice from Owner, Owner may, at Contractor’s
      expense, perform or have performed by a qualified and experienced third
      party the necessary remedy consistent with the requirements set forth in
      this Contract with respect to the Work.  Contractor shall have
      no warranty obligation for warranty claims that are caused by: (i) normal
      wear and tear; (ii) Owner’s or subsequent Owner’s misuse or negligence;
      (iii) Owner’s use, without Contractor’s approval, of spare parts other
      than those supplied or recommended by Contractor or [name intentionally
      omitted]; (iv) use or services of the facility (or any relevant part
      thereof) other than in conformance in all material respects with [name
      intentionally omitted] operations
manuals.

              (c)

            	
              The
      Contractor shall use its best efforts to obtain warranties for the benefit
      of the Contractor and the Owner from the Subcontractors and material and
      equipment suppliers in relation to their respective portions of the
      Work.  The Contractor shall similarly use its best efforts to
      obtain warranties from such individuals which (i) warrant against defects
      and deficiencies in each such party’s work, and (ii) are ultimately
      assignable to the Owner if they do not run to the Owner in the first
      instance.  Contractor shall assign to Owner any warranty it
      receives from the Subcontractors, including, without limitation, the
      warranty provided as part of its contract with its primary
      Subcontractor.

            


    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (d)

            	
              The
      Contractor shall have primary liability with respect to the warranties set
      forth in this Contract, whether or not any defect, deficiency or other
      matter is also covered by a warranty of another party, and the Owner need
      only look to the Contractor for corrective action.  In addition
      thereto, the Contractor’s warranties expressed herein shall not be
      restricted in any manner by any warranty of a third party and the refusal
      of any third party to correct defective, deficient or nonconforming Work
      shall not excuse the Contractor from its liability as to the warranties
      provided herein.

      PURPOSE, CUSTOM, USAGE OR OTHERWISE AND ALL OTHER CAUSES OF
      ACTION.  CONTRACTOR DOES NOT WARRANT OR GUARANTEE THAT THE
      DESIGN, ENGINEERING, SPECIFICATIONS, EQUIPMENT OR MATERIALS, INCLUDING THE
      TURBINES, SUPPLIED OR SPECIFIED BY OTHERS WILL PRODUCE ANY INTENDED RESULT
      OR ACHIEVE ANY INTENDED PURPOSE.

      this Contract.

      the Contract Price or the Schedule as a result of the same;

    12.         Offset
Right.  In the event Contractor fails to perform any obligation
or covenant under this Contract and such failure causes Owner to incur any cost
or expense, Owner shall be authorized, to the fullest extent permitted by law,

any and all obligations due and owing under the Note.  Owner, upon
making any such setoff and application pursuant to this Section 12, shall

its primary Subcontractor) shall transfer to Owner upon the incorporation of
such equipment into the Project.  Regardless of the passage of title,
upon the delivery of such equipment to the Project Site, care, custody and
control of, and risk of loss or damage to, such component or part shall
thereupon transfer to Owner.

property of the Owner.  Contractor hereby assigns, transfers,
releases, and conveys to Owner (and shall cause Owner’s Subcontractor and each
sub-subcontractors to assign, transfer, release and convey to Owner) all right,
title and interest in the Project Documents (including any
copyrights).  All copies of such documents shall be delivered to the
Owner upon Substantial Completion.  The preceding documents and copies
thereof are for use solely with respect to this Project.

and the payment of taxes; and Contractor agrees to indemnify Owner for the
failure to do so.

     

    17.         No Third-Party
Beneficiary.  Except with respect to [name intentionally
omitted] as provided herein, no provision of the Contract is intended to nor

other third party, so as to constitute any such person a third-party beneficiary
under the Contract, or of any one or more of the terms hereof, or otherwise give
rise to any cause of action in any person not a Party
hereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, [name intentionally omitted]
is intended to be and is a third party beneficiary of this
Contract.

principles.

Assigns.  Except as otherwise set forth herein with respect to
the Note and Security Agreement or otherwise, Contractor may not assign, convey
or transfer this Contract or any part hereof, or delegate any of its duties or
obligations hereunder, without the Owner’s prior written
consent.  This Contract shall be binding upon, and inure to the
benefit of, the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties
hereto.  Contractor acknowledges and understands that the Owner
intends to collaterally assign the Contract to various financing sources, and
hereby agrees that it shall execute a consent to the Owner’s collateral
assignment of the Contract to any such financing sources; further Contractor
hereby expressly consents to the assignment of this Contract to [name
intentionally omitted] pursuant to the financing arrangements set forth in the
Financing Agreement and related documents.

     

    22.         Intercreditor
Agreement.   Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the liens and security interests securing the obligations
evidenced hereby, the exercise of any right or remedy with respect thereto, and
certain of the rights of the holder hereof are subject to the provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreement.  In the event of any conflict between the
terms hereof and the Intercreditor Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement shall govern and control.

     

    23.         Severability.  In
case any provision in this Contract is held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not be affected.

this Contract has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by and on behalf
of each such Party, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of
said Parties.
