shall lend to the Buyer, at no cost to the Buyer, special installation tools
for the Buyer’s use only in connection with the installation of the

special installation tools to the Site at the same time the relevant Equipment
for each Unit is delivered.  Upon the
Seller’s delivery of such special installation tools, the Buyer shall inspect
such tools to confirm that they are in good condition and working order.  The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that all of
the special installation tools provided by the Seller pursuant to this Section 7.2
are owned by the Seller.  The Buyer shall
(a) return the special installation tools promptly after installation of
the final Unit to the Seller in the same condition as received, except for
normal wear and tear; (b) pack and load special installation tools at the

7.3           Technical Representatives. 
The Seller shall provide on-Site technical advisors starting from the
Delivery of the first Major Component of the first Unit onsite through the
unloading and installation of the last Major Component of the last Unit at a
minimum rate of 2 Units per week to a maximum rate of 6 Units per week unless
otherwise indicated in the Purchase Order, to advise the Buyer with respect to
the Buyer’s compliance with the Seller’s Installation Manual during such
unloading and installation and support and coordinate all customer requirements
during pre-construction through Final Acceptance of each Project, on a
project-by-project basis.  The Parties
acknowledge and agree that the sole purpose of such on-Site advisors is to
provide advice and guidance respecting the installation of the Units and to
observe the same.

 

7.4           Shipping Fixtures.  The Buyer agrees to purchase forty-five (45) double
bladed shipping fixtures from the Seller for the installation of the
Units.  If required, the Seller shall
lend to the Buyer, at no cost to the Buyer, additional shipping fixtures for
the Buyer’s use only in connection with the installation of the Equipment.  The Seller shall supply the shipping fixtures
to the Site at the same time the relevant Equipment for each Unit is delivered.  The Seller is not obligated to supply any
specific type, brand, make or model of shipping fixture. However, in the case
of the forty-five (45) shipping fixtures purchased by the Buyer for
installation of the Units the shipping fixture type only must be double-bladed.  Upon the Seller’s delivery of any shipping
fixtures, the Buyer shall inspect such shipping fixtures to confirm that they
are in good condition and working order. 
The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the final forty-five (45) double
bladed shipping fixtures which arrive at the last Site to be commissioned using
the Units are owned by the Buyer and title and risk of loss of the purchased

Period, the Buyer shall promptly notify the Seller in writing and shall
promptly make such Project or part thereof available for correction.  The Seller, at its sole cost and expense,
shall as soon as is practicable thereafter correct any warranty defect or
breach by repairing or replacing (at its option) the defective or inadequate
parts of any Equipment or by reperforming any defective or inadequate
Services.  The Seller shall be
responsible for the installation of any repaired or replacement part and for
payment of any customs duties or similar levies that may be assessed as a
result of the Shipment of any such repaired or replacement part.  The condition of any tests shall be mutually
agreed upon, and the Seller shall be notified of, and may be represented at,
all tests that may be made.  In the event
that the Seller refuses, fails, or is otherwise unable, to remedy the warranty
defect or breach within a reasonable period of time after the receipt of notice
from the Buyer, the Buyer shall have the right to hire one or more third
parties to remedy such defect or breach and the Seller will be obligated to pay
the reasonable costs of such third party(ies) if the Seller agrees there was a
warranty defect or breach or if it is determined that there was a warranty
defect or breach  in dispute resolution.

 

16.5         Warranty on Remedial Work. 
Any reperformed Service or repaired or
replacement part furnished under this warranty shall carry warranties on the same
terms as set forth in this Article 16, except that the warranties on such
reperformed Service or repaired or replacement part shall extend until the
later of: (a) the end of the original Warranty Period, or (b) the
date that is twelve (12) months after the date of such reperformance, repair or
replacement.  In any event, the warranty
period for such reperformed Service or repaired or replacement part shall end
twelve (12) months after expiry of the Warranty Period, subject to Section 16.3.

 

16.6         Exclusions. 
The Seller does not warrant the
Equipment or any repaired or replacement parts against normal wear and tear,
including that due to the environment or operation.  The warranties and remedies set forth herein
are further conditioned upon (a) the storage in material conformance with
the storage instructions provided by the Seller, installation, operation, and
maintenance of the Equipment and in material conformance with the operation
instruction manuals (including revisions thereto) provided by the Seller and/or
its Subcontractor or Suppliers as applicable and (b) repair or
modification only pursuant to the Seller’s instructions, with the Seller’s
approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), or in accordance with Section 16.4.  The Buyer shall keep proper records of
operation and maintenance during the Warranty Period.  These records shall be kept in the form of
logsheets, and copies shall be provided to the Seller upon its request and at
its sole cost and expense.

 

16.7         Software Warranties.  The Seller warrants to the Buyer
that during the Warranty Period and under normal use the media in which the
Software is embedded shall be free from defects in material and
workmanship.  The Seller warrants to the
Buyer that during the Warranty Period the Software will perform substantially
in accordance with its Documentation. 
If, during the Warranty Period, an Error occurs (where “Error” is
defined as a failure of the unmodified (except as contemplated in the Technical
Specifications or the Documentation) Software to operate substantially in
accordance with the Technical Specifications and the Documentation), the Seller
will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct such Error, if the Buyer
furnishes the Seller with the following: 
(i) written notice of the warranty claim, including a description
of the failure to perform in accordance with the Documentation and a specific
description of the operating conditions (including the specific
software/hardware configuration) under 

 

13

 

which the failure occurred, and (ii) to
the extent feasible, a representative sample of inputs for repeating and
analyzing the failure. If the Seller is unable, after using commercially
reasonable efforts, to correct the Error, the Parties shall follow the dispute
resolution process set forth in Article 32. The Seller does not warrant that the Software or the Documentation (or the
Buyer’s use of it) will be free from all Errors or that its use will be
uninterrupted.   Any remedial
steps taken by the Seller shall extend the Warranty Period in accordance with Section 16.5.  Except as expressly authorized by the Seller
in writing, all Third-Party Software shall carry only the warranties provided
by its owners.  The Seller makes no
warranties with respect to the Third-Party Software.

 

16.8         Exclusive Remedies and Warranties. 
Except for the provisions of Articles
12, 17, 18, 19, 21, 27 and 28, the preceding paragraphs of this Article 16
set forth the exclusive remedies for all claims based on failure of, or defect
in, the Equipment and Services provided under this Contract, whether the
failure or defect arises before or during the Warranty Period and whether a
claim, however instituted, is based on contract, indemnity, warranty, tort
(including negligence), strict liability or otherwise.  Except for the provisions of Articles 12 17,
18, 19, 21, 27, and 28, the foregoing warranties are exclusive and are in lieu
of all other warranties and guarantees whether written, oral, implied or
statutory.  NO IMPLIED STATUTORY WARRANTY
OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE SHALL APPLY.

provided, however, that the date of
Mechanical Completion for any Unit shall be extended day for day for any full
day on which Commercial Operation for such Unit is delayed solely as a
result  of (a) lack of suitable
wind, excessive wind speeds that prevent turbine operation, or sustained on
site hub height wind speeds in excess of 33 miles per hour that prevent hub
entry, (b) the failure of the Buyer, the Owner or any third party to
provide interconnection or transmission capability, or (c) the Buyer
operating or directing the operation of such Unit for commercial purposes prior
to the date of Commercial Operation.

 

17.3         Limitations. The
Seller’s aggregate liability under this Article 17 for liquidated damages
for delay in Shipment of Major Components and for delay in Commercial Operation
with respect to a Project that includes the delayed Unit(s) shall not
exceed *** percent (***%) of the amount of the Purchase Order
Price for such Project. The liquidated damages for delay in Shipment of Major
Components and for delay in Commercial Operation shall be the Buyer’s sole and
exclusive remedies for such delays.

 

17.4         Nature of Liquidated
Damages.  The Parties
acknowledge that the Buyer shall suffer damages that will be difficult to
ascertain if the Seller fails to comply with the Scheduled Major Component
Shipment Dates or if Commercial Operation is delayed.  The Parties agree that the liquidated damages
specified in this Article 17 are reasonable compensation for such failures
and delays.

18.      Power Curve Guarantee

 

18.1         Guarantee. 
If a Project is tested in accordance
with this Contract and the Technical Specifications, and subject to the
conditions therein specified, the Seller guarantees that during the Warranty
Period such Project will achieve *** percent (***%) of the energy
yield computed on the basis of the theoretical characteristic performance curve
included in Appendix A  (the “Power
Curve Guarantee”).

 

18.2         Power Curve Tests. 
To demonstrate that the Power Curve
Guarantee has been fulfilled, the Buyer may elect at its own expense to cause
the Units identified by the Buyer prior to the Commercial Operation of the
first Unit (the “Nominated Units” as described in further detail in Appendix
A, Technical Specifications) to be tested by an independent engineer
reasonably acceptable to the Seller.  If
when first so tested the average performance of all Nominated Units fails to
meet the Power Curve Guarantee, then:  (a) the
Seller shall reimburse the Buyer for the cost of the initial test; (b) during
the three (3) months next following such test, the Seller shall be
afforded thirty (30) continuous days of access to each of the Nominated Units
to undertake adjustments, and no later than the end of such three-month period
the Seller shall re-test the Nominated Units at its sole cost and expense; provided, however, that the Buyer shall pay for the last,
successful test; and (c) at the end of each successive twelve-month
portion of the Warranty Period, the Seller shall pay to the Buyer as liquidated
damages, and not as a penalty, a sum calculated in accordance with Attachment 6,
commencing at the beginning of the Warranty Period and continuing until the end
of the Warranty Period or until a subsequent test of the Nominated Units shows
that they meet the Power Curve Guarantee.

 

18.3         Re-Testing. 
If at the first re-test the Nominated
Units fail to meet the Power Curve Guarantee, the Seller shall be permitted
reasonable access to the Nominated Units to perform adjustments 

 

15

 

and may at its
option and expense perform additional tests at intervals of no less than three (3) months
until the end of the Warranty Period or until a subsequent test of the
Nominated Units shows that they meet the Power Curve Guarantee.  If at the end of the Warranty Period the
Nominated Units have not met the Power Curve Guarantee, the Seller shall pay to
the Buyer as additional liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, a sum
calculated in accordance with Attachment 6.

 

18.4         Other Units.  At the Buyer’s option, the Seller
shall, at its expense, either (a) make any repairs performed on one or
more Nominated Units to all of the Units, or (b) make any repairs
performed on one or more Nominated Units to the Units designated by the Buyer.

 

18.5         Limitations. 
The Seller’s aggregate liability under
this Article 18 for liquidated damages for failure to achieve the Power
Curve Guarantee shall not exceed *** percent (***%) of the Purchase Order Price for the relevant
Project.  The liquidated damages for
failure to achieve the Power Curve Guarantees and the corrective action
required by this Article 18 to be taken by the Seller for deficiencies in
performance shall be the Buyer’s exclusive remedies for such deficiencies.

 

18.6         Nature of Liquidated Damages. 
The Parties acknowledge that the Buyer
shall suffer damages that will be difficult to ascertain if the Seller fails to
achieve the Power Curve Guarantee.  The
Parties agree that the liquidated damages specified in this Article 18 are
reasonable compensation to the Buyer for such failure.

tested in accordance with this Contract and the Technical Specifications, and
subject to the conditions therein specified, the Seller guarantees that the
sound emitted from each Unit during the Warranty Period shall not exceed the
Sound Level Guarantee set forth in Appendix A.

 

19.2         Sound Tests If any Unit fails
to meet the Sound Level Guarantee, the Seller shall at its option and at its
sole cost and expense either (a) take such corrective action as will cause
such Unit to achieve the guaranteed sound level, including adjustments to
controls or operating parameters, or (b) with the Buyer’s consent, effect
a release or other settlement of any claims (whether for nuisance or otherwise)
from cognizant governmental authorities and persons directly affected by the
sound level at the Unit.  Except as may
be provided in the Contract, the performance of the obligations set forth in
subparagraphs (a) or (b) above shall be the Buyer’s exclusive remedy
for excess sound levels.   If the
corrective action taken pursuant to item (a) above includes any adjustment
to controls or operating parameters, the Buyer shall have the right to request
the Seller to re-test the Power Curve Guarantee with respect to the relevant
Units, in which case the provisions of Article 18 shall be applicable.

Suppliers.  The Seller shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the impact of the suspension on the
costs and delays it incurs as a result of the suspension.  Any costs reasonably and actually incurred by
the Seller as a result of the suspension (including storage costs) in excess of
the costs the Seller would 

 

16

 

otherwise have incurred shall be payable by
the Buyer within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from the
Seller.  Performance of the Seller’s
obligations shall be equitably extended for a period of time based upon the
time lost as a result of the suspension and the impact on the Seller’s
performance of the Work.

 

20.2         Suspension by Buyer of Manufacturing. 
It is expressly agreed that the Buyer shall have no right to suspend
manufacture of the Equipment.

amounts previously paid to the Seller under this Contract, exceeds the Contract
Price, the Seller shall pay the difference to the Buyer in the Contract
Currency within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from the Buyer.

 

21.4         Technical Assistance; Upgrades and Support.  Upon termination
of this Contract, the Seller shall provide the Buyer for the remaining life of

21.5         Grounds for Termination by the Seller. 
Subject to the rights of any Financing
Party, the Seller shall have the right to terminate this Contract for cause in
the event that the Buyer: (a) becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for
the benefit of its creditors, has a receiver or trustee appointed for the

same time the Seller delivers notice thereof to the Buyer.  Each Financing Party or one or more of its
designees shall have the right to cure the Buyer’s default within sixty (60)
days after the date the Financing Party receives such Default Notice; provided, however, that if the nature of
any non-monetary default by the Buyer is such that it cannot be cured by the
Financing Party or one or more of its designees without having taken possession
of one or more of the Projects, the time provided herein to remedy such default
shall be extended for such period of time as is reasonably necessary for the
Financing Party or one or more of its designees to lawfully obtain possession
of, and be legally entitled to operate, such Projects.   If the Financing Parties intend, or
cause one or more of their designees, to assume this Contract, they shall
provide notice thereof to the Seller within sixty (60) days after receipt of

22.1         Excusable Delays. 
Neither Party shall have any liability
or be considered to be in breach or default of its obligations under this Contract

of the Seller, shipment to storage in accordance with Article 6.  The affected Party shall (w) notify the
other Party promptly of the occurrence of any such event (and, in any event,
within ten (10) days after such event) describing the details of the
event; (x) notify the other Party of the expected duration and likely
impact of the event within twenty (20) days after such event; (y) use all
commercially reasonable efforts to overcome the cause and effects of such
delay; and (z) notify the other Party promptly after the affected Party is
able to resume performance.  The dates of
Shipment or of other performance under this Contract shall be

delay and the impact on the Seller’s performance of the Work.

 

22.2         Termination for Extended Delay.  If the entire Work is suspended because of an
excusable delay for more than one hundred eighty (180) days and the Parties

the Contract with respect to the portion of Equipment to which title has not
yet passed at no cost or penalty, unless the delay was caused by the Party
seeking to terminate.

in good faith, the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party; provided, however,

reasonably concluded that (i) there may be legal defenses available to it
that are different from, or additional to, or inconsistent with, those
available to the Indemnifying Party, or (ii) there exists a conflict of
interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, then, in
either case, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select separate

provided for in Section 23.1, 23.2 or 23.3 applies and the Indemnifying
Party fails to assume the defense of such claim, action, proceeding or
investigation, then the Indemnified Party may, at the Indemnifying Party’s
expense, contest or settle such claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall remain
obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any and all losses, damages,

Subcontractors, as the case may be.  The
Seller hereby grants for itself, and to the extent it has the right to so grant
from Subcontractors, for its Subcontractors, whichever is appropriate, a
paid-up, non-exclusive, license (the “Design Materials License”) for the
life of the Equipment for the Buyer to use, reproduce and have reproduced the
Seller’s and its Subcontractors’ proprietary information in such Design
Materials, subject to the confidentiality obligation in Section 29.2 above
and the following: (a) The Buyer may only use such Design Materials for
the operation, maintenance and repair of the Equipment, in accordance with the
efforts specified in the Contract, after Commercial Operation, but not for
manufacturing spares or replacement components, equipment, etc. for the Project
or any third party (other than as set forth in Section 14.2), or for the
purpose of developing derivative information or products of any nature; and (b) the
Design Materials License granted under this Section 29.3 is personal to
the Buyer and shall apply to any of the Persons listed in Section 29.2(b) subject
to the restrictions set forth in Section 29.2.

 

28

 

The Seller reserves all
patent rights, and nothing in this Section 29.3 shall be deemed to grant a
license directly or by implication, estoppel or otherwise under any patent or
patent application related to any information to which this Contract applies.

 

29.4         Disclosure Pursuant to Legal Process. 
If the Receiving Party or any of its representatives or Affiliates is
required by law, legal process or a government agency to disclose any
Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall provide the Disclosing
Party with prompt written notice, and the Disclosing Party may seek an
appropriate protective order or agency decision or waive compliance by the
Receiving Party with this Article 29.

 

29.5         Intellectual Property. 
Nothing in this Article 29 grants the Receiving Party any license
under any invention, patent, trademark or copyright now or later owned or
controlled by the Disclosing Party.

 

29.6         Disclosure. 
Neither Party shall
disclose Confidential Information to the other Party unless it is required to do so to enable it to perform work under the
Contract.  If either Party does disclose Confidential Information to the other
Party, the Disclosing Party
warrants that it has the right to disclose the information, and the Disclosing Party shall indemnify
and hold the other Party
harmless against any claims or damages resulting solely from such Party’s improper disclosure.

 

29.7         Equitable Relief. The Software, Documentation and
Third Party Software include commercially valuable, substantial trade secrets,
the design and development of which reflect the efforts of skilled development
experts and investment of considerable amounts of time and money.  The Buyer acknowledges that any use of the
Software, Documentation or Third-Party Software in a manner inconsistent with
the License will cause immediate irreparable harm to the Seller (or its
Suppliers) for which there is no adequate remedy at law.  The Buyer agrees that the Seller (or its
Suppliers) shall be entitled to immediate and permanent injunctive relief from
a court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any such breach by the
Buyer.  The Parties agree and stipulate
that the Seller shall be entitled to injunctive relief without posting of a
bond or other security; except that if the posting of a bond is a prerequisite
to obtaining injunctive relief, then a bond in an amount equivalent to U.S.
$1,000 shall be sufficient.  The
confidentiality obligations set forth in this Contract with respect to the
Software and Documentation shall expire ten (10) years after termination
of this Contract.

 

29.8         Term. 
As to any individual item of Confidential Information, the restrictions
of this Article 29 shall expire on the earlier of (a) five (5) years
after the date of disclosure, and (b) three (3) years after
termination or expiration of this Contract

otherwise instructed by Buyer (210 days in advance).

 

(3)           Three section steel tower with “T”-flange
base for bolting to concrete foundation. 
The actual height of the tower is listed in Drawing 903216 (Please
contact Project Manager to obtain the applicable revision of this drawing).

 

The foundation anchor bolt pattern is shown
in Drawing 903216.  Tower sections to be
supplied with loose parts kit (lugs, bolts, connections) for erection EXCEPT anchor bolt templates,
anchor bolts, rigging equipment, and lifting beam, which are outside of the
Seller’s Scope of Work.

 

Tower internals include ladders, platforms, power cabling (with all
necessary terminations), fall protection, lighting.  Towers will be delivered to Site pre-wired.

 

(4)           Blade sets consist of three fiberglass epoxy
resin blades in accordance with the Technical Specifications.

 

(5)           Seller’s Scope of Work includes all
electrical and electronic wire and cables from the machine head to the down
tower equipment.  It does not include
splicing labor or crimping tools (but does include heat shrink, conductive
paste, and barrel splices required to splice cable) between tower sections or
connection from BOP equipment (e.g. Padmount transformer) to the down tower
assembly.

 

(6)           Based on Buyer-provided data, as requested in
the Windfarm Met Data Form and Project Information Form, GE will conduct a
Site Specific Loads Analysis that will determine the adequacy of 1.5sle. GE’s
review will determine if the foregoing Scope of Work is sufficient based on:

 

·                  Number of days with temperature below –20°C

 

·                  Predicted fatigue loading

 

·                  Predicted maximum 3 second gust, 50 year
return period

 

·                  Expected seismic loading

 

The Buyer is responsible for assessing the nature of the conditions at
the Site and submitting the requested information in a timely manner. A Site
Specific Loads Analysis is to be carried out by the 

 

48

 

Seller’s engineering team in accordance with the established standards
and procedures applied in a non-discriminatory manner for each proposed wind
farm location.  If the Scope of Work is
not sufficient, one or more of the Options described in the Schedule of Options
may be recommended by the Seller. In some cases (for example, extreme expected
seismic loads), a specialized configuration may be necessary that can delay the
Scheduled Major Component Shipment Dates and/or increase the Contract Price
and/or the Purchase Order Price. Such Site-specific risks are sole
responsibility of the Buyer.

 

(7)           Base GE SCADA system: Includes a basic
communication rack that can support up to four (4) single-mode
communication loops (that connect the first WTG in the loop to the master SCADA
communication rack), and four (4) multi-mode loops.

 

(8)           One (1) Metmast SCADA package
(enclosure, anemometer, windvane, sensors, cable, boom) per each test tower
required per the Machine Power Performance Tests (MPPT), assuming each Unit to
be tested will require an associated test tower to satisfy the elevation
relationship requirements is also included.

 

(9)           Project Support Services include:

 

·                  Technical Advisory Support at the Project
Site during installation, Startup and Commissioning.

 

·                  Site receiving supervision and inventory
control for the Seller’s Scope of Work.

 

·                  Supervision of use of specialized
installation tools.

 

·                  Commissioning of Unit, SCADA, and WFMS (if
WFMS option is selected by the Buyer).

 

·                  Start-up support during initial operations to
assist O&M Staff.

 

·                  Two full sets of operations and maintenance
manuals printed and bound plus a copy on CD.

 

·                  The Project Support Services shall include a
staffing plan for each Project and a number of man-weeks of services to be
provided for each Project, and shall be provided to the Buyer at least 120 days
in advance of the performance of the Work at the Site for the Project.

 

·                  These prices are based upon the following
assumptions:

 

(1)           That the multiple Project sites for each
quote are immediately adjacent to one another and hence the Seller’s team will
not have to relocate any construction facilities for the duration of the
portfolio of projects.

 

(2)           That this schedule of
deliveries/installation/commissioning is done at a rate of at least *** Units per week, and that this is done consecutively, not
at the same time (within the two priced project groups)

 

·                  Blade re-torquing, as required, will be an
additional cost to Buyer.

Payment
Schedule

 

Payments shall be made in accordance with the following schedule:

 

***

 

Refer to Article 12 for further
invoicing and payment details.

 

* If any of the Progress Payments listed above would
be due after the Shipment of the first group of Units for the relevant Project,
the Seller shall provide the Buyer an invoice for the unpaid amount of such
Progress Payments relating to the Units for the relevant Project (a “True-Up
Amount”) and the Buyer shall pay such True-Up Amount on the same date the Buyer
pays for such Shipment all in accordance with Article 12 of the Contract.
For the avoidance of doubt, the True-Up Amount shall be the amount necessary to
bring the total payments made with respect to the Units for the relevant
Project equal to 40% of the total amount owed for such Units (excluding the
payment due upon Shipment).
