2. Exercise of Warrant.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in
part, at any time during normal business hours on or after the Exercise Date and prior to 5:00 p.m.
(Eastern Standard Time) on the Expiration Date. The rights represented by this Warrant may be
exercised by the holder hereof then registered on the books of the Company, in whole or from time
to time in part (except that this Warrant shall not be exercisable as to a fractional share), by:
(i) delivery of a written notice, in the form of the subscription notice attached as Exhibit
A hereto (the “Subscription Notice”), of such holder’s election to exercise this Warrant, which
notice shall specify the
number of Warrant Shares to be purchased; (ii) payment to the Company of an amount equal to
the Warrant Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which the Warrant is
being exercised (plus any applicable issue or transfer taxes) in cash, by wire transfer or by
certified or official bank check; and (iii) the surrender of this Warrant, properly endorsed, at
the principal office of the Company in Marietta, Georgia (or at such other agency or office of the
Company as the Company may designate by notice to the Holder); provided, that if such Warrant
Shares are to be issued in any name other than that of the Holder, such issuance shall be deemed a
transfer and the provisions of Section 12 shall be applicable. In the event of any exercise of the
rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares so
purchased, registered in the name of, or as directed by, the Holder, shall be delivered to, or as
directed by the Holder within a reasonable time after the date on which such rights shall have been
so exercised.

 

3

 

(b) Unless the rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired or have been fully
exercised, the Company shall issue, within such 15 day period, a new Warrant identical in all
respects to the Warrant exercised except (x) such new Warrant shall represent rights to purchase
the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under the warrant
exercised, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such original Warrant was
exercised, and (y) the Warrant Exercise Price thereof shall be, subject to further adjustment as
provided in this Warrant, the Warrant Exercise Price of the Warrant exercised. The person in whose
name any certificate for Warrant Shares is issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall for all
purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares immediately prior to
the close of business on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment of the amount
due in respect of such exercise and any applicable taxes was made, irrespective of the date of
delivery of such share certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a
date when the stock transfer books of the Company are properly closed, such person shall be deemed
to have become the holder of such Warrant Shares at the opening of business on the next succeeding
date on which the stock transfer books are open.

(c) In lieu of the Holder exercising this Warrant (or any portion hereof) for cash, it may, in
connection with such exercise, elect to satisfy the Warrant Exercise Price by exchanging solely (x)
this Warrant (or such portion hereof) for (y) that number of Warrant Shares equal to the product of
(i) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise of the Warrant (or, if only a portion
of this Warrant is being exercised, issuable upon the exercise of such portion) for cash multiplied
by (ii) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the Market Price per share of the Common Stock at
the time of such exercise minus the Warrant Exercise Price per Warrant Share at the time of such
exercise, and
(B) the denominator of which is the Market Price per share of the Common Stock at the time of
such exercise, such number of shares so issuable upon such exercise to be rounded up or down to the
nearest whole number of Warrant Shares.

3. Covenants as to Common Stock.

(a) The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares that may be issued upon the
exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within
which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have
authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise
of the rights then represented by this Warrant and that the par value of said shares will at all
times be less than or equal to the applicable Warrant Exercise Price.

(b) If any shares of Common Stock reserved or to be reserved to provide for the exercise of
the rights then represented by this Warrant require registration with or approval of any
governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued to
the Holder, then the Company covenants that it will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible
endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

4. Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price upon Stock Splits, Dividends, Distributions and
Combinations; and Adjustment of Number of Shares.

(a) In case the Company shall at any time split or subdivide its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a greater number of shares or issue a stock dividend (including any distribution of
stock without consideration) or make a distribution with respect to outstanding shares of Common
Stock or Convertible Securities payable in Common Stock or in Convertible Securities, the Warrant
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or stock dividend or distribution
shall be proportionately reduced and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of
the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased, in each case, by
multiplying the then effective Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall
be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision,
stock dividend, distribution or combination (determined on a fully diluted basis), and the
denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock, immediately after such
subdivision, stock dividend, distribution or combination (determined on a fully diluted basis), and
the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Warrant Exercise Price. For purposes of this
Warrant, “on a fully diluted basis” means that all issued and
outstanding capital stock of the Company, including all Convertible Securities, and all
outstanding options and warrants, whether or not vested, shall be taken into account.

(b) Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price as provided above in this Section 4,
the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Warrant Exercise Price resulting from
such adjustment, the number of shares (calculated to the nearest tenth of a share) obtained by
multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number
of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product
thereof by the Warrant Exercise Price immediately after such adjustment.

5. Reorganization, Reclassification, Etc. In case of any capital reorganization, or
of any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or
from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a split-up or
combination) or in case of the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other
corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
corporation and which does not result in the Common Stock being changed into or exchanged for stock
or other securities or property of any other person), or of the sale of the properties and assets
of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation, this Warrant shall,
after such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger or
sale, entitle the Holder hereof to purchase the kind and number of shares of stock or other
securities or property of the Company or of the corporation resulting from such consolidation or
surviving such merger or to which such sale shall be made, as the case may be, to which the holder
hereof would have been entitled if he had held the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof
immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock,

 

5

 

 consolidation,
merger or sale, and, in any such case, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the
rights and interests of the holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions thereof
(including without limitation provisions for adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price and of the
number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, as
nearly as may be in relation to any shares of stock, securities, or assets thereafter deliverable
upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby. The Company shall not effect any such
consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the
successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger of
the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument executed and mailed or
delivered to the registered holder hereof at the address of such holder appearing on the books of
the Company, the obligation to deliver to
such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase.

6. Notice of Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price. Upon any adjustment of the Warrant
Exercise Price, then the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder of this Warrant, which
notice shall state the Warrant Exercise Price in effect after such adjustment and the increase, or
decrease, if any, in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at the Warrant Exercise Price upon
the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the
facts upon which such calculation is based.

7. Computation of Adjustments. Upon each computation of an adjustment in the Warrant
Exercise Price and the number of shares which may be subscribed for and purchased upon exercise of
this Warrant, the Warrant Exercise Price shall be computed to the nearest cent (i.e. fraction of .5
of a cent, or greater, shall be rounded to the next highest cent) and the number of shares which
may be subscribed for and purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be calculated to the
nearest whole share (i.e. fractions of less than one half of a share shall be disregarded and
fractions of one half of a share, or greater, shall be treated as being a whole share). No such
adjustment shall be made however, if the change in the Warrant Exercise Price would be less than
$.001 per share, but any such lesser adjustment shall be made (i) at the time and together with the
next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustments carried forward, shall amount to
$.001 per share or more, or (ii) if earlier, upon the third anniversary of the event for which such
adjustment is required.

8. No Change in Warrant Terms on Adjustment. Irrespective of any adjustment in the
Warrant Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof, this
Warrant, whether theretofore or thereafter issued or reissued, may continue to express the same
means of establishing the exercise price and number of shares as are stated herein and the Warrant
Exercise Price and such number of shares as so determined shall be deemed to have been so adjusted.

 

6

 

9. Taxes. The Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes attributable to
the initial issuance of the Warrant Shares or any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of any
certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder hereof or upon
any transfer of this Warrant.

10. Warrant Holder Not Deemed a Shareholder. No holder, as such, of this Warrant
shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of the Company for
any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the holder
hereof, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or
withhold
consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification
of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive
dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance of record to the holder of
this Warrant of the Warrant Shares which he is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of
this Warrant.

11. No Limitation on Corporate Action. No provisions of this Warrant and no right or
option granted or conferred hereunder shall in any way limit, affect or abridge the exercise by the
Company of any of its corporate rights or powers to recapitalize, amend its Articles of
Incorporation, reorganize, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation, or to transfer
all or any part of its property or assets, or the exercise of any other of its corporate rights and
powers.

12. Transfer; Opinions of Counsel; Restrictive Legends. To the extent applicable,
each certificate or other document evidencing any of the Warrant Shares shall be endorsed with the
legends set forth below, and Holder covenants that, except to the extent such restrictions are
waived by the Company, Holder shall not transfer the Warrant Shares without complying with the
restrictions on transfer described in the legends endorsed thereon;

(a) The following legend under the Securities Act:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED,
PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED ABSENT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT
UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO
THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

(b) If required by the authorities of any state in connection with the issuance or sale of the
Warrant Shares, the legend required by such state authority.

(c) The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books either this Warrant or any
Warrant Shares which shall have been transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in
this Section 12, or (ii) to treat as owner of such Warrant Shares or to accord the right to vote as
such owner or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom such Warrant Shares shall have been so
transferred.

 

7

 

(d) Any legend endorsed on a certificate pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 12
shall be removed (i) if the Warrant Shares represented
by such certificate shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act or
otherwise lawfully sold in a public transaction, or (ii) if the holder of such Warrant Shares shall
have provided the Company with an opinion from counsel, in form and substance reasonably acceptable
to the Company and from attorneys reasonably acceptable to the Company, stating that a public sale,
transfer or assignment of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares may be made without registration.

(e) Any legend endorsed on a certificate pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 12 shall
be removed if the Company receives an order of the appropriate state authority authorizing such
removal or if the holder of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares provides the Company with an opinion
of counsel, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and from attorneys
reasonably acceptable to the Company, stating that such state legend may be removed.

(f) Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, Holder further agrees not
to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Warrant at any time other than to an affiliate
of the Holder; provided, however, that such affiliate transferee agrees in writing to be subject to
the terms of this Section 12. In addition, the Holder agrees not to make any disposition of all or
any portion of the Warrant Shares unless:

(i) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering
such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration
statement; or

(ii) Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have
furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the
proposed disposition, and, if requested by the Company, (A) Holder shall have furnished the
Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such
disposition will not require registration of the Warrant or any Warrant Shares under the
Securities Act and (B) the transferee shall have furnished to the Company its agreement to
abide by the restrictions on transfer set forth herein as if it were a purchaser hereunder.

(g) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 12, no such registration statement or
opinion of counsel shall be required for any transfer by a Holder, (i) if it is a partnership or a
corporation, to a partner or pro rata to its equity holder(s) of such Holder (or a third party duly
authorized to act on behalf of such Holder or its partners or equity holders), or (ii) if he or she
is an individual, to members of such individual’s family for estate planning purposes;
provided, however, that the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this
Section 12.

 

8

 

(h) Upon delivery of the foregoing opinion of counsel (with respect to a transfer of the
Warrant Shares) and the surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal office, together
with (i) the assignment form annexed hereto as Exhibit B (the “Assignment Form”) duly
executed and (ii) funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, if it determines
such transfer is permitted by the terms of this Warrant, without additional charge, execute and
deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment and this
Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.

13. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen,
mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may in
its discretion impose (except in the event of loss, theft, mutilation or destruction while this
Warrant is in possession of the Company’s Escrow Agent, in which events the Company shall be solely
responsible) (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof),
issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or
destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the
Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any
time enforceable by anyone.

14. Representation of Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents that
it is acquiring this Warrant, and the Warrant Shares, for its own account, for investment purposes,
and not with a present view either to sell, distribute, or transfer, or to offer for sale,
distribution, or transfer, any of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares, or any other securities
issuable upon the exercise thereof.

15. Restricted Securities. The Holder understands that the Warrant and the Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, will not be registered at the time of their issuance
under the Securities Act for the reason that the sale provided for in this Warrant is exempt
pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act based on the representations of the Holder set forth
herein. The Warrant Holder represents that it is experienced in evaluating companies such as the
Company, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of its investment and has the ability to suffer the total loss of
the investment. The Holder further represents that it has had the opportunity to ask questions of
and receive answers from the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Warrant, the
business of the Company, and to obtain additional information to such Holder’s satisfaction. The
Holder is an “Accredited Investor” within the
meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, as presently in effect.

16. Notices. All Notices, requests and other communications that the Holder or the
Company is required or elects to give hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
been given (a) upon personal delivery thereof, including by appropriate courier service, five (5)
days after delivery to the courier or, if earlier, upon delivery against a signed receipt therefore
or (b) upon transmission by facsimile or telecopier, which transmission is confirmed, in either
case addressed to the party to be notified at the address set forth below or at such other address
as such party shall have notified the other parties hereto, by notice given in conformity with this
Section 16.

COMMENCEMENT, DELIVERY AND SHIPMENT

 

5.1       Commencement. Subject to Section 2.1.1,
Supplier shall commence performance of its obligations under this Agreement on
the Down Payment Date. In addition to Supplier’s other

 

9

 

rights and remedies
hereunder, if any payment due under this Agreement is not timely made by
Purchaser, the delinquent payment amount shall accrue interest at the Default
Rate.

 

5.2       Shipping Arrangements. All Supply
Items shall be delivered Ex Works at the Designated Delivery Locations. For
purposes of this Agreement, each individual Supply Item and the SCADA System
shall be deemed “Delivered” and Supplier shall have satisfied its delivery
arrangements with respect thereto, when Supplier makes available such Supply
Item and SCADA System at its Designated Delivery Location for pick up by
Purchaser, provided however, that Purchaser may not take custody and control of
the said Supply Item until the applicable Progress Payment has been made by
Purchaser and received by Supplier. Purchaser shall be responsible for all
loading and shipment of the Supply Items and SCADA System from their respective
Designated Delivery Locations to the Project Site and shall pay for all costs
and expenses incurred by Purchaser related thereto, including the costs of
maintaining insurance on such Supply Item and SCADA System during shipment of
such Supply Item and SCADA System from its respective Designated Delivery
Location to the Project Site.

 

5.3       Delivery Schedule. The Supply
Items shall be Delivered to their Designated Delivery Locations in accordance
with the Delivery Schedule attached as Exhibit L (the “Delivery
Schedule”); provided however, that Supplier shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to work with Purchaser to revise the Delivery Schedule as necessary
considering Supplier’s manufacturing schedules and Purchaser’s Project
requirements. Delivery dates in the Delivery Schedule will be deemed met so
long as the Supply Items are delivered to the Designated Delivery Locations on
or before the date for such delivery set forth in the Delivery Schedule;
provided that, Supplier shall have the right to Deliver the Supply Items up to
one (1) month earlier than provided for in the Delivery Schedule. The
SCADA System shall be delivered at a Designated Delivery Location mutually
agreed by the Parties following the installation of the first Turbine at the
Project Site by Purchaser.

 

5.4       Designated Delivery Locations.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, Supplier shall Deliver the
Supply Items as follows: (i) Turbine Nacelle, Turbine Controller, Turbine
hub and Ancillary Parts and Equipment at Supplier’s factory near Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, (ii) the Turbine Blades at such location or warehouse facility as
Supplier may direct near Houston, Texas, or at another mutually agreed upon
location, provided any costs associated with such other mutually agreed
location be borne by Purchaser, and (iii) the Towers at the manufacturing
facility located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, or at such other domestic location
as Supplier may specify at any point prior to three (3) months from the
Delivery date set forth in the Delivery Schedule. Each of the foregoing
locations is referred to herein as a “Designated Delivery Location.”

 

5.5       Delay Delivery Damages. The
Parties acknowledge that Purchaser will suffer damages that will be difficult
to ascertain if Purchaser fails to Deliver any Major Turbine Component within thirty (30) days of the applicable date
of Delivery set forth in the Delivery Schedule. Consequently, the Parties agree
that Supplier will pay Purchaser, if any Major Turbine Component is Delivered thirty (30) days or more late and such
delay was not due to any Force Majeure Event or breach by Purchaser of any of
its obligations under this Agreement, the following amount as liquidated
damages: For each full day after the first thirty (30) days following the date that the Delivery of such
Major Turbine Component is delayed beyond the date specified in the Delivery
Schedule, an amount equal to $***** per
Turbine per day for the first fifteen (15) days after

 

10

 

delay
payments become payable, an amount equal to $***** per day for the next fifteen (15) days, and an amount equal to $*****
per day thereafter (the
“Delay Delivery Damages”); provided that, in no event shall the aggregate Delay
Delivery Damages payable hereunder exceed ***** percent (*****%)
of the pro-rata portion of the Purchase Price applicable to the Turbine for
which such delayed Major Turbine Component is a component. It is understood and
acknowledged by the Parties that if more than one Major Turbine Component
applicable to a Turbine is delivered late, the liquidated damages applicable to
the Turbine will not exceed $***** per day (for the first 15 days after delay
payments become payable), $***** per day (for the next 15 days of delay
payments), and $***** per day (for delay payments thereafter) as
applicable. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Delay Delivery Damages
set forth above are a reasonable estimate of the damages Purchaser will suffer
because of late Delivery of any Major Turbine Component and that, therefore,
the Delay Delivery Damages set forth herein shall be Purchaser’s sole and
exclusive remedy with respect to such Delivery delays.

 

ARTICLE 6

 

FINAL ASSEMBLY WORK, INSTALLATION
WORK, 

COMMISSIONING WORK AND PROJECT COMPLETION

 

6.1       Final Assembly Work and Turbine Installation.
Purchaser shall complete the Final Assembly Work with respect to all Turbines
in conformance with the procedures and requirements set forth in Exhibit P,
and shall complete the Installation Work with respect to all Turbines in
accordance with the Installation Procedures and, subject to Section 5.3
above, within the period of time set forth on the Completion Schedule.

 

6.2       Commissioning. Commissioning of
the Turbines shall be conducted as follows:

 

6.2.1           Advance Completion Notice. No
less than thirty (30) days prior to the date Purchaser expects Supplier to
commence the Commissioning Work, Purchaser shall provide Supplier with written
notice (the “Advance Completion Notice”) of Purchaser’s anticipated completion
date of the Installation Work and the date on which Supplier shall commence the
Commissioning Work (which date shall be no later than the date that Supplier is
obligated to commence the Commissioning Work as set forth in the Completion
Schedule). Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule
Turbine Installation for all Turbines in the Project so that Supplier can
complete the Commissioning of each Turbine without interruption or delay on a
continuous basis until all the Turbines have been Commissioned.

 

6.2.2           Turbine Installation Inspection.
Following completion of the Installation Work with respect to any Turbine,
Purchaser shall deliver a written notice of completion to Supplier (an “Installation
Completion Notice”) and Supplier shall examine each Turbine in accordance with
the Installation Procedures and the Turbine Installation Manual. If the Turbine
fails to conform to the standards contained in the installation inspection
procedures set forth in the Turbine Installation Manual, then it shall be
deemed not properly installed, and Supplier shall promptly so notify Purchaser.
Purchaser shall then promptly take all required action to complete the
Installation Work for all Turbine(s) failing the installation inspection
procedures.

 

11

 

6.2.3           Commissioning Work. Supplier
shall perform the Commissioning Work for the Turbines in accordance with the
Commissioning and Start-Up Procedures and the Completion Schedule, subject to
any adjustment in the completion of the Commissioning Work, pursuant to Section 5.3
hereof, due to Supplier’s early Delivery of the Supply Items (provided,
however, that Supplier’s obligation to Complete the Commissioning Work by such
time set forth on the Completion Schedule shall be extended to the extent of Purchaser’s
delay in completing the Installation Work). Upon completion of the
Commissioning of each Turbine, Supplier shall issue to Purchaser a
commissioning certificate for such Turbine in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M
(each a “Commissioning Certificate”). Within five (5) days after receipt
of a Commissioning Certificate, Purchaser shall either approve such
Commissioning Certificate or deliver to Supplier written notice of any work
remaining to be completed by Supplier (the “Punch List Work”). If Purchaser
fails to deliver such notice within such five (5) day period, the
Commissioning Certificate will be deemed approved by Purchaser.

 

6.3       Project Completion. Within five (5) days
after the delivery by Supplier to Purchaser of a Commissioning Certificate for
the Project’s final Turbine, Supplier shall also deliver to Purchaser a
completion certificate for all Turbines in the Project (the “Project Completion
Certificate”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N, together
with a list of any remaining Punch List Work on any Turbine, a schedule for
completing the Punch List Work and an estimate of the cost of each item of
Punch List Work. Supplier shall thereafter promptly complete all Punch List
Work.

 

6.4       Purchaser Delays. In the event
that any of the actions of Purchaser, the EPC Contractor or any of Purchaser’s
Contractors cause a delay in the performance by Supplier of the Commissioning
Work, Purchaser shall pay Supplier its actual documented costs directly
attributable to such delay, including wages, lodging and meals.

FORCE
MAJEURE EVENTS

 

7.1       Excused Performance. If either
Party is rendered wholly or partially unable to perform its obligations (other
than payment obligations) under this Agreement due to the occurrence of a Force
Majeure Event, such Party will be excused from the affected performance
obligation (other than payment obligations), provided that:

 

(a)        the affected Party gives the other Party
notice describing the particulars of the occurrence, including an estimate of
its expected duration and probable impact on the affected Party’s obligations
hereunder, such notice shall be given promptly after becoming aware of the
occurrence of the Force Majeure Event, and, in no event more than seven (7) days
after the affected Party becomes aware or should reasonably have been aware of
such occurrence;

 

(b)       the affected Party shall continually
exercise all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of such
Force Majeure Event, remedy its inability to perform, and limit damages to the
other Party and shall promptly resume its

 

12

 

performance when the
Force Majeure Event no longer impacts its ability to perform, and shall give
the other Party prompt notice of its intent to resume such performance;

 

(c)        the
suspension of a Party’s performance affected by the Force Majeure Event shall
be of no greater scope and of no longer duration than is reasonably required by
the Force Majeure Event;

 

(d)       no
liability of either Party which arose before the occurrence of the Force
Majeure Event shall be excused as a result of the occurrence thereof; and

 

(e)        no
Force Majeure Event shall relieve any Party from performing those of its
obligations that are not materially affected by the Force Majeure Event.

 

ARTICLE 8

 

CHANGE ORDERS

 

8.1       Change Order. The
term “Change Order” as used herein shall mean a written instrument signed by
Purchaser and Supplier, stating their mutual agreement upon any of the
following: (i) a change in the fabrication or features of the Turbines
(such as adding Federal Aviation Administration lighting or a cold weather
package); (ii) a change in the Delivery Schedule or Completion Schedule; (iii) a
change in the Commissioning Work; (iv) a change in the number of or
location of Project sites; or (v) an adjustment in the Purchase Price
(collectively “Scope Changes”).

 

8.2       Change Order Process.
Purchaser may request Scope Changes within the general scope of this Agreement
consisting of additions, deletions, or other revisions. If Purchaser so desires
to request Scope Changes, it shall submit a change request to Supplier in
writing. Within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of any such
request, Supplier shall submit a detailed proposal to Purchaser stating (a) the
increase or decrease, if any, in the Purchase Price which would result from
such change, and (b) the effect, if any, upon the Delivery Schedule or
Completion Schedule by reason of such proposed change. Purchaser shall have
five (5) days from receipt of Supplier’s detailed proposal to accept or
reject in writing Supplier’s proposal in relation to the requested change. If
Purchaser agrees with Supplier’s proposal, Purchaser and Supplier shall execute
a Change Order reflecting the requested Scope Changes and proposed adjustments,
if any, in the Purchase Price and the Delivery Schedule or Completion Schedule.
In the event Purchaser disagrees with Supplier’s proposal, Purchaser shall
promptly so notify Supplier, following which the Parties shall negotiate in
good faith a solution which is satisfactory to both Purchaser and Supplier.
Should Purchaser fail to respond to Supplier in writing within the foregoing
five (5) day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have withdrawn its
requested change.

 

8.3       No Change.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Supplier
shall not be obligated to proceed with any Scope Changes requested by Purchaser
unless and until a Change Order is executed by the Parties in relation to such
change. Further, Supplier shall not be required to implement a requested Scope
Change by Purchaser if the implementation of such change would, in Supplier’s
reasonable opinion, likely impair Supplier’s ability to achieve any

 

13

 

of the performance
guarantees, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement, the OMS
Agreement, and/or the Warranty Agreement.

 

8.4       Scope Changes Caused by a Force
Majeure Event. If a Force Majeure Event occurs that materially adversely
affects Supplier’s performance of all or a portion of the sale and Delivery
obligations hereunder or if such a Force Majeure Event causes any of the
Commissioning Work to be temporarily or permanently prevented, Supplier shall
be entitled to a Change Order reflecting such impact of such Force Majeure
Event, including an extension in Supplier’s time for performance for such delay
to the extent Supplier’s performance is actually delayed. In the case of a
Force Majeure Event, Supplier must notify Purchaser of Supplier’s intent to
request a Change Order (the “Notice of Intention”) within thirty (30) Business
Days of the Force Majeure Event. Supplier shall submit to Purchaser a draft
Change Order outlining, with reasonable specificity, the requested Scope
Changes within ten (10) Business Days after the Notice of Intention is
delivered to Purchaser.

 

8.5       Scope Changes Caused by Events within
the Control of Purchaser. If Purchaser, EPC Contractor or any of Purchaser’s
Contractors causes an event that materially adversely affects Supplier’s performance
of all or a portion of the sale and Delivery obligations hereunder or if such
event causes the Commissioning Work to be temporarily or permanently prevented,
Supplier shall be entitled to a Change Order reflecting such impact of such
event, including (i) an extension in Supplier’s time for performance for
such delay to the extent Supplier’s performance is actually delayed, and (ii) an
increase in the Purchase Price with respect to such additional cost to the
extent such delay is caused solely by Purchaser, EPC Contractor or any of
Purchaser’s Contractors. In the case of such a Purchaser caused event, Supplier
must notify Purchaser of Supplier’s intent to request a Change Order (the “Notice
of Intention”) within thirty (30) Business Days of the Purchaser caused event.
Supplier shall submit to Purchaser a draft Change Order outlining, with
reasonable specificity, the requested Scope Changes within ten (10) Business
Days after the Notice of Intention is delivered to Purchaser.

failure cannot with due diligence be remedied by Supplier within such thirty
(30) Business Days period, and Supplier shall have diligently prosecuted the
remedying of such failure within such thirty (30) Business Days, such period
shall be extended by such additional time period as may be reasonably required
by Supplier to cure such failure.

 

14.2    Purchaser’s Remedies.
In the event Supplier is in default pursuant to Section 14.1, and
said default is not timely cured within the time periods set forth above,
Purchaser, in addition to those rights and remedies that may be available to

be in default under this Agreement should any one or more of the following
events or conditions arise or exist:

 

(i)            Purchaser or Guarantor becomes

(iii)          Purchaser fails to timely pay to

(iv)          Purchaser fails to perform any

three (3) Business Days of the effective date of such termination, Purchaser
shall pay to Supplier the liquidated damages set forth on the termination
schedule attached hereto as Exhibit G (“Termination Schedule”), which shall
constitute Supplier’s exclusive remedy, and Supplier shall have no right to
damages or compensation for such termination other than payment of the liquidated
damages set forth on the Termination Schedule.

If Supplier is entirely prevented from performing its obligations hereunder for
a period of one-hundred eighty (180) consecutive days as a result of the

cancel, without additional liability, any then remaining unperformed portion of
this Agreement, upon

 

22

 

not less than thirty (30)
Business Days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section 14.5 shall relieve or excuse Supplier from
its obligations under Article 7 of this Agreement in respect of the
occurrence of a Force Majeure Event or relieve either Party from any payment
obligation that has accrued as of the date of cancellation or prior thereto;
provided further, however, that any payment obligations of Purchaser shall be
reduced by the amount of funds received by Supplier, if any, in connection with
the resale of any Turbines or Turbine components sold that are applicable to
such payment obligations of Purchaser, and, if following such reduction,
Purchaser is owed a refund of some portion of the Purchase Price from Supplier,
Supplier shall refund to Purchaser the applicable amount of Purchase Price
previously paid to Supplier within thirty (30) days of such termination.

 

14.6    Termination for Convenience. The Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for convenience with respect to any Turbine

basis with respect to such Turbine in accordance with the Termination Schedule attached to this
Agreement as Exhibit G.

 

14.7    Surviving Obligations. Cancellation
or expiration of all or any portion of this Agreement (a) shall not
relieve Purchaser of its obligations with respect to the confidentiality of
Supplier’s proprietary information as set forth in Section 4.5 of
this Agreement, or either Party of its confidentiality obligations as set forth
in Section 16.9 of this Agreement, (b) shall not relieve
either Party of any obligation hereunder which expressly or by implication
survives termination hereof, and (c) except as otherwise provided in any
provision of this Agreement expressly limiting the liability of either Party,

liabilities for loss or damage to the other Party arising out of or caused by
acts or omissions of such Party prior to the effectiveness of such termination
or arising out of such termination, and shall not relieve Supplier of its
obligations as to portions of the items supplied or other services hereunder
already supplied or performed or of obligations assumed by Supplier prior to
the date of termination. This Article shall survive the termination or
expiration of this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 15

 

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

15.1    Procedure. In the event a dispute,
controversy or claim (herein, a “dispute”) arises between Purchaser and
Supplier relating to this Agreement, the aggrieved Party shall promptly provide
written notification of the dispute to the other Party within ten (10) days
after such dispute arises and the Parties shall resolve such dispute as
provided herein:

 

15.1.1       Executives Meeting. A meeting
shall be held between the Parties, attended by representatives of the Parties
with decision-making authority regarding the dispute, to attempt in good faith
to negotiate a resolution of the dispute. Such meeting shall be held in
Carpinteria, California within thirty (30) days after a notice of dispute has
been delivered under Section 15.1 above.

 

23

 

15.1.2       Independent Engineer’s Decision.
If the dispute involves a technical issue, within ten (10) days after such
meeting, the Parties have not resolved the dispute, either Party shall submit
the dispute to the Independent Engineer for a non-binding determination,
together with such information in support of their position as may be relevant,
which information will simultaneously be sent to the other Party. The
Independent Engineer may hold separate meetings with each Party or call a joint
meeting of the Parties, to be held in Carpinteria, California. The Independent
Engineer shall, within thirty (30) days after such request for a determination,
issue a non-binding decision. Any Party which does not wish to comply with such
decision shall promptly provide written notification of its intention to the
other Party within five (5) days of such decision. The Parties shall meet
in Chicago, Illinois within twenty (20) days of such notice to attempt, in good
faith, to negotiate a final resolution to the dispute. Any Party which does not
wish to comply with such decision shall within ten (10) days after the
date of such meeting submit the dispute to arbitration within twenty (20) days
after the date of such decision to arbitration in accordance with Section 15.1.3
below. The Parties shall share equally the costs of the Independent Engineer.

 

15.1.3       Arbitration.

 

(a)           If the Parties are not successful in
resolving a dispute, controversy or claim pursuant to Sections 15.1.1
and 15.1.2, above, then such dispute shall be resolved through binding
arbitration to take place in Chicago, Illinois. The Parties agree to conduct all
arbitration proceedings in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of
the American Arbitration Association. This Section 15.1.3 is
governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

 

(b)           A Party desiring to submit to
arbitration any such dispute, controversy or claim shall furnish its demand for
arbitration in writing to the other Party or Parties thereto, which demand
shall contain a brief statement of the matter in controversy, as well as a list
containing the names of three (3) suggested arbitrators from the list of
arbitrators maintained by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA List”)
from which list, or from other sources, all of the Parties shall choose one (1) mutually
acceptable arbitrator. If the Parties are unable to agree upon the identity of
a single arbitrator, within ten (10) days from the receipt of such demand,
the Purchaser and the Supplier shall each (collectively, the “Arbitrating
Parties”), within a period of five (5) additional days, name from the
AAA List one (1) arbitrator by written notice to the other Arbitrating Party or
Parties. Within ten (10) days after this notice, the two (2) arbitrators
so named shall choose a third arbitrator. If any Arbitrating Party fails to
name an arbitrator within the specified five (5) day period or if the two
arbitrators chosen by the Arbitrating Parties fail to select a third arbitrator
within the ten (10) day period, then either Arbitrating Party, on behalf of and
on notice to the other Arbitrating Party or Parties, may request appointment by
the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its rules then
prevailing of the required additional arbitrator or arbitrators so that there
shall be a panel of three (3) arbitrators. If the American Arbitration
Association should fail to appoint the necessary arbitrator or arbitrators
within fifteen (15) days after such request is made, then either Arbitrating
Party may apply, on notice to the other Arbitrating Party or Parties, to a
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of such necessary
additional arbitrators. Each of the arbitrator or arbitrators chosen or
appointed pursuant to

 

24

 

this Section 15.1.3(b) shall
be a person having at least ten (10) years experience in the United States
in the legal profession and shall not be a past or present officer, director or
employee of, or have any material interest in, any Arbitrating Party or any
Affiliate of an Arbitrating Party. All discovery, including the right to take
depositions and interrogatories, shall be permitted in the time and manner
provided by the then applicable Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The
Arbitrating Parties shall be entitled to reasonable discovery prior to the
arbitration hearing, and the arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be,
shall have the power upon application of any Arbitrating Party to make all
appropriate orders for discovery from the other Arbitrating Party, including
discovery of documents, responses to interrogatories, and depositions. The
scope, time and manner of discovery, including all document discovery, are to
be in accordance with the U.S. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, discovery allowed each of the Arbitrating
Parties shall not exceed: (i) five (5) party depositions; (ii) three (3) nonparty
depositions; (iii) three (3) depositions of any experts selected to
give opinions in the arbitration (as well as the production of any documents
relied upon by such experts); and (iv) fifteen (15) interrogatories (with
each subpart counted as a separate interrogatory). Discovery shall not include
requests for admissions. No deposition shall last more than two (2) days
in length. Further, all discovery must, without exception, be completed within
one hundred twenty (120) days from the date the arbitration panel is appointed.
Any documents that are not produced to the other Arbitrating Party prior to the
termination of this 120-day discovery period may not be offered into evidence
at the arbitration hearing unless such production shall not prejudice the
non-producing Arbitrating Party as determined by the arbitrator or arbitrators,
as the case may be. Likewise, any witnesses who have not been produced for
deposition, despite a request from the other side, may not testify or submit
affidavits at the arbitration hearing.

 

(c)           The arbitrator or arbitrators, as the
case may be, shall render his, her or their decision, in the latter case upon
the concurrence of at least two (2) of their number, as soon as possible
but no later than thirty (30) days after the conclusion of any hearings before
such arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be, unless such 30-day period
is extended by the arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be. The decision
and award shall in either case be in writing and counterpart copies of such
decision shall be delivered to each of the Arbitrating Parties. Such decision
shall be based solely upon the written arguments and contentions, evidence and
legal authorities, submitted by each Arbitrating Party. In rendering such
decision and award, the arbitrator shall not add to, subtract from or otherwise
modify the provisions of this Agreement. Any award rendered shall be final and
conclusive upon the parties and a judgment on any such award may be entered in
any court having jurisdiction, state or federal, having jurisdiction. No
arbitration proceeding shall be commenced after the date when institution of
legal or equitable proceedings based upon such subject matter would be barred
by the applicable statute of limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this section or elsewhere in this Agreement, provisional
injunctive or other provisional equitable relief may be sought by the parties
without first submitting the subject dispute to arbitration so long as
injunctive relief is otherwise warranted by applicable law.

 

25

 

15.2    Qualifications of Arbitrators; Expenses.

 

(a)           The arbitrators in the arbitration
proceeding provided for in this Article 15 shall be individuals
experienced in the energy construction industry and competent to pass on the
matter presented for arbitration.

 

(b)           Supplier, on the one hand, and
Purchaser, on the other, shall share equally the compensation and expenses of
the arbitrators as well as all fees imposed by the AAA. Supplier and Purchaser
shall be responsible for their own costs and legal fees, if any.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a majority of the arbitrators shall be empowered
to award the prevailing Party its costs, expenses and/or legal fees.

 

15.3    Performance During Dispute. While any
controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement is
pending, Purchaser and Supplier shall continue to perform their obligations
hereunder notwithstanding such controversy, dispute or claim.

 

15.4    Consolidation. No arbitration arising
under this Agreement shall include, by consolidation, joinder or any other
manner, any person or entity not a Party to this Agreement, unless (a) such
person or entity is substantially involved in a common question of fact or law,
(b) the presence of such person or entity is required if complete relief
is to be accorded in the arbitration, and (c) such person or entity has
consented to such inclusion.

 

15.5    Language. All arbitration proceedings
shall be conducted in the English language.

 

ARTICLE 16

 

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

16.1    Waiver. No delay or omission by the
Parties hereto in exercising any right or remedy provided for herein shall
constitute a waiver of such right or remedy nor shall it be construed as a bar
to or waiver of any such right or remedy on any future occasion.

 

16.2    Successors and Assigns. This
Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
successors and permitted assigns of Supplier and Purchaser. Except as set forth
herein, neither Supplier nor Purchaser may assign, convey or transfer this
Agreement, in whole or in part, except upon the prior written consent of the
other Party hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and any
such purported transfer or assignment shall be null and void. Notwithstanding
any permitted assignment hereunder, the assignor shall remain liable to the
other Party for all duties and responsibilities hereunder unless affirmatively
recited by the other Party.

 

16.3    Permitted Assignments.
Notwithstanding Section 16.2 above, (i) either Party may
transfer or assign its rights, benefits and obligations under this Agreement to
an Affiliate; provided, that if requested by Purchaser, Supplier shall execute
and deliver a guaranty of the performance hereunder by such an assignee, (ii) Purchaser
may assign its rights, benefits and obligations under this Agreement to any
purchaser of the Project; provided, that Purchaser may not transfer or assign
this Agreement in whole or in part to a wind turbine design or manufacturing
competitor of Supplier without the prior written consent of Supplier, which
consent may be withheld in Supplier’s sole discretion and which may be
conditioned upon the creditworthiness of the purchaser, (iii) Supplier is

 

26

 

authorized to subcontract
any portion of its duties under this Agreement to a third party or to delegate
its obligations hereunder, in the ordinary course of its business, without
reducing the scope of Supplier’s undertakings, obligations, and commitments to
Purchaser, provided that Supplier agrees that it will not use any supplier for
any Major Turbine Components not listed on Exhibit H without
Purchaser’s advance written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (iv) a Party, without the consent of
the other Party, may assign its interest in this Agreement to a lender,
collateral trustee, security trustee or similar entity as collateral security
for any financing entered into by the assigning Party, including a lease
financing. The non-assigning Party shall, upon fifteen (15) days’ prior written
request from the assigning Party, execute a consent containing customary terms
and conditions, to any such collateral assignment. Further, notwithstanding Section 16.2
above, Purchaser shall have the right to assign no less than all of its rights,
duties and obligations under the Turbine Supply Documents to any third party,
subject to, and conditioned upon, the prior written consent of Supplier, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; provided however
that any such assignment is conditioned upon the receipt of a guarantee for the
benefit of Supplier of the performance of the contract obligations, including
payment security, in a form acceptable to Supplier, in its sole and absolute
discretion. Any such assignment to a third party also shall be subject to the
following: (i) prior to the effectiveness of such assignment, the third
party assignee shall agree to revisions to the Turbine Supply Documents as
determined by Supplier to be reasonably necessary, to effect the purchase and
installation of the Turbines by the third party assignee at a project site to
be determined between Supplier and any such third party assignee, (ii) the
third party assignee shall assume all of the duties, obligations, restrictions
and covenants of Purchaser under the Turbine Supply Documents, as revised, (iii) any
monies or other consideration received by, or otherwise payable to, Purchaser
from the third party assignee in connection with such assignment, in excess of
the Down Payment and any Progress Payments actually paid by Purchaser to
Supplier, other than the reasonable actual documented expenses incurred by
Purchaser in connection with the assignment of the Turbine Supply Documents to
the third party, shall be paid to Supplier and (iv) Purchaser shall pay to
Supplier all of Supplier’s costs associated with such assignment from Purchaser
to the third party assignee, including but not limited to all of Supplier’s
costs (including reasonable legal fees) incurred in connection with the
revision of the Turbine Supply Documents, within thirty (30) days of receipt of
an applicable invoice from Supplier.

 

16.4    Notices.

 

(a)          Any notice required or authorized to

provided) and shall be served personally or by reputable express courier

COMMENCEMENT, DELIVERY AND SHIPMENT

 

5.1         Commencement.
Subject to Section 2.1.1, Supplier shall commence performance of
its obligations under this Agreement on the Down Payment Date. In addition to
Supplier’s other rights and remedies hereunder, if any payment due under this
Agreement is not timely made by Purchaser, the delinquent payment amount shall
accrue interest at the Default Rate.

 

5.2         Shipping
Arrangements. All Supply Items shall be delivered Ex Works at the
Designated Delivery Locations. For purposes of this Agreement, each individual
Supply Item and the SCADA System shall be deemed “Delivered” and Supplier shall
have satisfied its delivery arrangements with respect thereto, when Supplier
makes available such Supply Item and SCADA System at its Designated Delivery
Location for pick up by Purchaser, provided however, that Purchaser may not
take custody and control of the said Supply Item until the applicable Progress
Payment has been made by Purchaser and received by Supplier. Purchaser shall be
responsible for all loading and shipment of the Supply Items and SCADA System
from their respective Designated Delivery Locations to the Project Site and
shall pay for all costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser related thereto,
including the costs of maintaining insurance on such Supply Item and SCADA
System during shipment of such Supply Item and SCADA System from its respective
Designated Delivery Location to the Project Site.

 

5.3         Delivery
Schedule. The Supply Items shall be Delivered to their Designated Delivery
Locations in accordance with the Delivery Schedule attached as Exhibit L
(the “Delivery Schedule”); provided however, that Supplier shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to work with Purchaser to revise the Delivery Schedule as
necessary considering Supplier’s manufacturing

 

10

 

schedules and Purchaser’s Project requirements. Delivery dates in the
Delivery Schedule will be deemed met so long as the Supply Items are delivered
to the Designated Delivery Locations on or before the date for such delivery
set forth in the Delivery Schedule; provided that, Supplier shall have the
right to Deliver the Supply Items up to one (1) month earlier than
provided for in the Delivery Schedule. The SCADA System shall be delivered at a
Designated Delivery Location mutually agreed by the Parties following the
installation of the first Turbine at the Project Site by Purchaser.

 

5.4         Designated
Delivery Locations. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties,
Supplier shall Deliver the Supply Items as follows: (i) Turbine Nacelle,
Turbine Controller, Turbine hub and Ancillary Parts and Equipment at Supplier’s
factory near Cedar Rapids, Iowa, (ii) the Turbine Blades at such location
or warehouse facility as Supplier may direct near Houston, Texas, or at another
mutually agreed upon location, provided any costs associated with such other
mutually agreed location be borne by Purchaser, and (iii) the Towers at
the manufacturing facility located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, or at such other
domestic location as Supplier may specify at any point prior to three (3) months
from the Delivery date set forth in the Delivery Schedule. Each of the
foregoing locations is referred to herein as a “Designated Delivery Location.”

 

5.5         Delay
Delivery Damages. The Parties acknowledge that Purchaser will suffer
damages that will be difficult to ascertain if Purchaser fails to Deliver any
Major Turbine Component within thirty (30) days of the applicable date of
Delivery set forth in the Delivery Schedule. Consequently, the Parties agree
that Supplier will pay Purchaser, if any Major Turbine Component is Delivered thirty
(30) days or more late and such delay was not due to any Force Majeure Event or
breach by Purchaser of any of its obligations under this Agreement, the
following amount as liquidated damages: For each full day after the first thirty
(30) days following the date that the Delivery of such Major Turbine Component
is delayed beyond the date specified in the Delivery Schedule, an amount equal
to $***** per Turbine per day for the first fifteen (15) days after delay
payments become payable, an amount equal to $***** per day for the next fifteen
(15) days, and an amount equal to $***** per day thereafter (the “Delay
Delivery Damages”); provided that, in no event shall the aggregate Delay
Delivery Damages payable hereunder exceed ***** percent (*****%) of the
pro-rata portion of the Purchase Price applicable to the Turbine for which such
delayed Major Turbine Component is a component. It is understood and
acknowledged by the Parties that if more than one Major Turbine Component
applicable to a Turbine is delivered late, the liquidated damages applicable to
the Turbine will not exceed $***** per day (for the first 15 days after delay
payments become payable), $***** per day (for the next 15 days of delay
payments), and $***** per day (for delay payments thereafter). The Parties
acknowledge and agree that the Delay Delivery Damages set forth above are a
reasonable estimate of the damages Purchaser will suffer because of late
Delivery of any Major Turbine Component and that, therefore, the Delay Delivery
Damages set forth herein shall be Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy with
respect to such Delivery delays.

6.2         Commissioning.
Commissioning of the Turbines shall be conducted as follows:

 

6.2.1           Advance
Completion Notice. No less than thirty (30) days prior to the date
Purchaser expects Supplier to commence the Commissioning Work, Purchaser shall
provide Supplier with written notice (the “Advance Completion Notice”) of
Purchaser’s anticipated completion date of the Installation Work and the date
on which Supplier shall commence the Commissioning Work (which date shall be no
later than the date that Supplier is obligated to commence the Commissioning
Work as set forth in the Completion Schedule). Purchaser shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to schedule Turbine Installation for all Turbines in the
Project so that Supplier can complete the Commissioning of each Turbine without
interruption or delay on a continuous basis until all the Turbines have been
Commissioned.

 

6.2.2              Turbine Installation Inspection.
Following completion of the Installation Work with respect to any Turbine,
Purchaser shall deliver a written notice of completion to Supplier (an “Installation
Completion Notice”) and Supplier shall examine each Turbine in accordance with
the Installation Procedures and the Turbine Installation Manual. If the Turbine
fails to conform to the standards contained in the installation inspection
procedures set forth in the Turbine Installation Manual, then it shall be
deemed not properly installed, and Supplier shall promptly so notify Purchaser.
Purchaser shall then promptly take all required action to complete the
Installation Work for all Turbine(s) failing the installation inspection
procedures.

 

6.2.3             Commissioning
Work. Supplier shall perform the Commissioning Work for the Turbines in
accordance with the Commissioning and Start-Up Procedures and the Completion
Schedule, subject to any adjustment in the completion of the Commissioning
Work, pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof, due to Supplier’s early
Delivery of the Supply Items (provided, however, that Supplier’s obligation to
Complete the Commissioning Work by such time set forth on the Completion
Schedule shall be extended to the extent of Purchaser’s delay in completing the
Installation Work). Upon completion of the Commissioning of each Turbine,
Supplier shall issue to Purchaser a commissioning certificate for such Turbine
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M (each a “Commissioning
Certificate”). Within five (5) days after receipt of a Commissioning
Certificate, Purchaser shall either approve such Commissioning Certificate or
deliver to Supplier written notice of any work remaining to be completed by
Supplier (the “Punch List Work”). If Purchaser fails to deliver such notice
within such five (5) day period, the Commissioning Certificate will be
deemed approved by Purchaser.

 

12

 

6.3         Project Completion.
Within five (5) days after the delivery by Supplier to Purchaser of a
Commissioning Certificate for the Project’s final Turbine, Supplier shall also
deliver to Purchaser a completion certificate for all Turbines in the Project
(the “Project Completion Certificate”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N.
together with a list of any remaining Punch List Work on any Turbine, a
schedule for completing the Punch List Work and an estimate of the cost of each
item of Punch List Work. Supplier shall thereafter promptly complete all Punch
List Work.

 

6.4         Purchaser
Delays. In the event that any of the actions of Purchaser, the EPC
Contractor or any of Purchaser’s Contractors cause a delay in the performance
by Supplier of the Commissioning Work, Purchaser shall pay Supplier its actual
documented costs directly attributable to such delay, including wages, lodging
and meals.

FORCE MAJEURE EVENTS

 

7.1         Excused
Performance. If either Party is rendered wholly or partially unable to
perform its obligations (other than payment obligations) under this Agreement
due to the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, such Party will be excused from
the affected performance obligation (other than payment obligations), provided
that:

 

(a)       the
affected Party gives the other Party notice describing the particulars of the
occurrence, including an estimate of its expected duration and probable impact
on the affected Party’s obligations hereunder, such notice shall be given
promptly after becoming aware of the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event,
and, in no event more than seven (7) days after the affected Party becomes
aware or should reasonably have been aware of such occurrence;

 

(b)      the
affected Party shall continually exercise all commercially reasonable efforts
to mitigate the effect of such Force Majeure Event, remedy its inability to
perform, and limit damages to the other Party and shall promptly resume its
performance when the Force Majeure Event no longer impacts its ability to
perform, and shall give the other Party prompt notice of its intent to resume
such performance;

 

(c)       the
suspension of a Party’s performance affected by the Force Majeure Event shall
be of no greater scope and of no longer duration than is reasonably required by
the Force Majeure Event;

 

(d)      no
liability of either Party which arose before the occurrence of the Force
Majeure Event shall be excused as a result of the occurrence thereof; and

 

(e)       no
Force Majeure Event shall relieve any Party from performing those of its
obligations that are not materially affected by the Force Majeure Event.

ARTICLE 8

 

CHANGE ORDERS

 

8.1         Change Order.
The term “Change Order” as used herein shall mean a written instrument signed
by Purchaser and Supplier, stating their mutual agreement upon any of the
following: (i) a change in the fabrication or features of the Turbines
(such as adding Federal Aviation Administration lighting or a cold weather
package); (ii) a change in the Delivery Schedule or Completion Schedule; (iii) a
change in the Commissioning Work; (iv) a change in the number of or
location of Project sites; or (v) an adjustment in the Purchase Price
(collectively “Scope Changes”).

 

8.2         Change Order
Process. Purchaser may request Scope Changes within the general scope of
this Agreement consisting of additions, deletions, or other revisions. If
Purchaser so desires to request Scope Changes, it shall submit a change request
to Supplier in writing. Within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of
any such request, Supplier shall submit a detailed proposal to Purchaser
stating (a) the increase or decrease, if any, in the Purchase Price which
would result from such change, and (b) the effect, if any, upon the
Delivery Schedule or Completion Schedule by reason of such proposed change.
Purchaser shall have five (5) days from receipt of Supplier’s detailed proposal
to accept or reject in writing Supplier’s proposal in relation to the requested
change. If Purchaser agrees with Supplier’s proposal, Purchaser and Supplier
shall execute a Change Order reflecting the requested Scope Changes and
proposed adjustments, if any, in the Purchase Price and the Delivery Schedule
or Completion Schedule. In the event Purchaser disagrees with Supplier’s
proposal, Purchaser shall promptly so notify Supplier, following which the
Parties shall negotiate in good faith a solution which is satisfactory to both
Purchaser and Supplier. Should Purchaser fail to respond to Supplier in writing
within the foregoing five (5) day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to
have withdrawn its requested change.

 

8.3         No Change.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Supplier
shall not be obligated to proceed with any Scope Changes requested by Purchaser
unless and until a Change Order is executed by the Parties in relation to such
change. Further, Supplier shall not be required to implement a requested Scope
Change by Purchaser if the implementation of such change would, in Supplier’s
reasonable opinion, likely impair Supplier’s ability to achieve any of the
performance guarantees, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement,
the OMS Agreement, and/or the Warranty Agreement.

 

8.4         Scope Changes
Caused by a Force Majeure Event. If a Force Majeure Event occurs that
materially adversely affects Supplier’s performance of all or a portion of the
sale and Delivery obligations hereunder or if such a Force Majeure Event causes
any of the Commissioning Work to be temporarily or permanently prevented.
Supplier shall be entitled to a Change Order reflecting such impact of such
Force Majeure Event, including an extension in Supplier’s time for performance
for such delay to the extent Supplier’s performance is actually delayed. In the
case of a Force Majeure Event, Supplier must notify Purchaser of Supplier’s
intent to request a Change Order (the “Notice of Intention”) within thirty (30)
Business Days of the Force Majeure Event. Supplier shall submit to Purchaser a
draft Change Order outlining, with reasonable specificity, the requested Scope
Changes within ten (10) Business Days after the Notice of Intention is
delivered to Purchaser.

 

14

 

8.5       Scope Changes Caused by Events within
the Control of Purchaser. If Purchaser, EPC Contractor or any of Purchaser’s
Contractors causes an event that materially adversely affects Supplier’s
performance of all or a portion of the sale and Delivery obligations hereunder
or if such event causes the Commissioning Work to be temporarily or permanently
prevented, Supplier shall be entitled to a Change Order reflecting such impact
of such event, including (i) an extension in Supplier’s time for
performance for such delay to the extent Supplier’s performance is actually
delayed, and (ii) an increase in the Purchase Price with respect to such
additional cost to the extent such delay is caused solely by Purchaser, EPC
Contractor or any of Purchaser’s Contractors. In the case of such a Purchaser
caused event, Supplier must notify Purchaser of Supplier’s intent to request a
Change Order (the “Notice of Intention”) within thirty (30) Business Days of
the Purchaser caused event. Supplier shall submit to Purchaser a draft Change
Order outlining, with reasonable specificity, the requested Scope Changes
within ten (10) Business Days after the Notice of Intention is delivered
to Purchaser.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

15.1       Procedure. In the event a dispute,
controversy or claim (herein, a “dispute”) arises between Purchaser and
Supplier relating to this Agreement, the aggrieved Party shall promptly provide
written notification of the dispute to the other Party within ten (10) days
after such dispute arises and the Parties shall resolve such dispute as
provided herein:

 

15.1.1         Executives
Meeting. A meeting shall be held between the Parties, attended by
representatives of the Parties with decision-making authority regarding the
dispute, to attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the dispute.
Such meeting shall be held in Carpinteria, California within thirty (30) days
after a notice of dispute has been delivered under Section 15.1 above.

 

15.1.2         Independent
Engineer’s Decision. If the dispute involves a technical issue, within ten (10) days
after such meeting, the Parties have not resolved the dispute, either Party
shall submit the dispute to the Independent Engineer for a non-binding
determination, together with such information in support of their position as
may be relevant, which information will simultaneously be sent to the other
Party. The Independent Engineer may hold separate meetings with each Party or
call a joint meeting of the Parties, to be held in Carpinteria, California. The
Independent Engineer shall, within thirty (30) days after such request for a
determination, issue a non-binding decision. Any Party which does not wish to
comply with such decision shall promptly provide written notification of its
intention to the other Party within five (5) days of such decision. The
Parties shall meet in Chicago, Illinois within twenty (20) days of such notice
to attempt, in good faith, to negotiate a final resolution to the dispute. Any
Party which does not wish to comply with such decision shall within ten (10) days
after the date of such meeting submit the dispute to arbitration within twenty
(20) days after the date of such decision to arbitration in accordance with Section 15.1.3
below. The Parties shall share equally the costs of the Independent Engineer.

 

24

 

15.1.3                   Arbitration.

 

(a)                      If the Parties are not successful in
resolving a dispute, controversy or claim pursuant to Sections 15.1.1
and 15.1.2. above, then such dispute shall be resolved through binding
arbitration to take place in Chicago, Illinois. The Parties agree to conduct
all arbitration proceedings in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of
the American Arbitration Association. This Section 15.1.3 is
governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

 

(b)                     A Party desiring to submit to arbitration
any such dispute, controversy or claim shall furnish its demand for arbitration
in writing to the other Party or Parties thereto, which demand shall contain a
brief statement of the matter in controversy, as well as a list containing the
names of three (3) suggested arbitrators from the list of arbitrators
maintained by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA List”) from which
list, or from other sources, all of the Parties shall choose one (1) mutually
acceptable arbitrator. If the Parties are unable to agree upon the identity of
a single arbitrator, within ten (10) days from the receipt of such demand,
the Purchaser and the Supplier shall each (collectively, the “Arbitrating
Parties”), within a period of five (5) additional days, name from the
AAA List one (1) arbitrator by written notice to the other Arbitrating
Party or Parties. Within ten (10) days after this notice, the two (2) arbitrators
so named shall choose a third arbitrator. If any Arbitrating Party fails to
name an arbitrator within the specified five (5) day period or if the two
arbitrators chosen by the Arbitrating Parties fail to select a third arbitrator
within the ten (10) day period, then either Arbitrating Party, on behalf
of and on notice to the other Arbitrating Party or Parties, may request
appointment by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its rules then
prevailing of the required additional arbitrator or arbitrators so that there
shall be a panel of three (3) arbitrators. If the American Arbitration
Association should fail to appoint the necessary arbitrator or arbitrators
within fifteen (15) days after such request is made, then either Arbitrating
Party may apply, on notice to the other Arbitrating Party or Parties, to a
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of such necessary
additional arbitrators. Each of the arbitrator or arbitrators chosen or
appointed pursuant to this Section 15.1.3(b) shall be a person
having at least ten (10) years experience in the United States in the
legal profession and shall not be a past or present officer, director or
employee of, or have any material interest in, any Arbitrating Party or any
Affiliate of an Arbitrating Party. All discovery, including the right to take
depositions and interrogatories, shall be permitted in the time and manner
provided by the then applicable Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The
Arbitrating Parties shall be entitled to reasonable discovery prior to the
arbitration hearing, and the arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be,
shall have the power upon application of any Arbitrating Party to make all
appropriate orders for discovery from the other Arbitrating Party, including
discovery of documents, responses to interrogatories, and depositions. The
scope, time and manner of discovery, including all document discovery, are to
be in accordance with the U.S. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, discovery allowed each of the Arbitrating
Parties shall not exceed: (i) five (5) party depositions; (ii) three
(3) nonparty depositions; (iii) three (3) depositions of any
experts selected to give opinions in the arbitration (as well as the production
of any documents relied upon by such experts); and (iv) fifteen (15)
interrogatories (with each subpart counted as a separate interrogatory).
Discovery shall not include requests for admissions. No deposition shall last
more than two (2) days in length. Further, all discovery must, without
exception, be completed within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date the

 

25

 

arbitration panel
is appointed. Any documents that are not produced to the other Arbitrating
Party prior to the termination of this 120-day discovery period may not be
offered into evidence at the arbitration hearing unless such production shall
not prejudice the non-producing Arbitrating Party as determined by the
arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be. Likewise, any witnesses who have
not been produced for deposition, despite a request from the other side, may
not testify or submit affidavits at the arbitration hearing.

 

(c)                        The arbitrator or arbitrators, as the
case may be, shall render his, her or their decision, in the latter case upon
the concurrence of at least two (2) of their number, as soon as possible
but no later than thirty (30) days after the conclusion of any hearings before
such arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be, unless such 30-day period
is extended by the arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be. The decision
and award shall in either case be in writing and counterpart copies of such
decision shall be delivered to each of the Arbitrating Parties. Such decision
shall be based solely upon the written arguments and contentions, evidence and
legal authorities, submitted by each Arbitrating Party. In rendering such
decision and award, the arbitrator shall not add to, subtract from or otherwise
modify the provisions of this Agreement. Any award rendered shall be final and
conclusive upon the parties and a judgment on any such award may be entered in
any court having jurisdiction, state or federal, having jurisdiction. No
arbitration proceeding shall be commenced after the date when institution of
legal or equitable proceedings based upon such subject matter would be barred
by the applicable statute of limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this section or elsewhere in this Agreement, provisional
injunctive or other provisional equitable relief may be sought by the parties
without first submitting the subject dispute to arbitration so long as
injunctive relief is otherwise warranted by applicable law.

 

15.2               Qualifications of Arbitrators: Expenses.

 

(a)                        The arbitrators in the arbitration
proceeding provided for in this Article 15 shall be individuals
experienced in the energy construction industry and competent to pass on the
matter presented for arbitration.

 

(b)                       Supplier, on the one hand, and Purchaser,
on the other, shall share equally the compensation and expenses of the
arbitrators as well as all fees imposed by the AAA. Supplier and Purchaser
shall be responsible for their own costs and legal fees, if any.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a majority of the arbitrators shall be empowered
to award the prevailing Party its costs, expenses and/or legal fees.

 

15.3               Performance During Dispute. While any controversy, dispute or claim
arising out of or relating to this Agreement is pending, Purchaser and Supplier
shall continue to perform their obligations hereunder notwithstanding such
controversy, dispute or claim.

 

15.4               Consolidation. No arbitration arising under this
Agreement shall include, by consolidation, joinder or any other manner, any
person or entity not a Party to this Agreement, unless (a) such person or
entity is substantially involved in a common question of fact or law, (b) the
presence of such person or entity is required if complete relief is to be
accorded in the arbitration, and (c) such person or entity has consented
to such inclusion.

 

26

 

15.5               Language. All arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in
the English language.

5.2         Shipping Arrangements.
All Supply Items shall be delivered Ex Works at the Designated Delivery
Locations. For purposes of this Agreement, each individual Supply Item and the
SCADA System shall be deemed “Delivered” and Supplier shall have satisfied its
delivery arrangements with respect thereto, when Supplier makes available such
Supply Item and SCADA System at its Designated Delivery Location for pick up by
Purchaser, provided however, that Purchaser may not take custody and control of
the said Supply Item until the applicable Progress Payment has been made by
Purchaser and received by Supplier. Purchaser shall be responsible for all

accordance with the Delivery Schedule attached as Exhibit L (the “Delivery
Schedule”); provided however, that Supplier shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to work with Purchaser to revise the Delivery Schedule as necessary
considering Supplier’s manufacturing

 

10

 

schedules
and Purchaser’s Project requirements. Delivery dates in the Delivery Schedule
will be deemed met so long as the Supply Items are delivered to the Designated
Delivery Locations on or before the date for such delivery set forth in the
Delivery Schedule; provided that, Supplier shall have the right to Deliver the
Supply Items up to one (1) month earlier than provided for in the Delivery
Schedule. The SCADA System shall be delivered at a Designated Delivery Location
mutually agreed by the Parties following the installation of the first Turbine
at the Project Site by Purchaser.

 

5.4         Designated Delivery
Locations. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, Supplier
shall Deliver the Supply Items as follows: (i) Turbine Nacelle, Turbine
Controller, Turbine hub and Ancillary Parts and Equipment at Supplier’s factory
near Cedar Rapids, Iowa, (ii) the Turbine Blades at such location or
warehouse facility as Supplier may direct near Houston, Texas, or at another
mutually agreed upon location, provided any costs associated with such other
mutually agreed location be borne by Purchaser, and (iii) the Towers at
the manufacturing facility located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, or at such other
domestic location as Supplier may specify at any point prior to three (3) months
from the Delivery date set forth in the Delivery Schedule. Each of the
foregoing locations is referred to herein as a “Designated Delivery Location.”

 

5.5         Delay Delivery Damages.
The Parties acknowledge that Purchaser will suffer damages that will be
difficult to ascertain if Purchaser fails to Deliver any Major Turbine
Component within thirty (30) days of the applicable date of Delivery set forth
in the Delivery Schedule. Consequently, the Parties agree that Supplier will
pay Purchaser, if any Major Turbine Component is Delivered thirty (30) days or
more late and such delay was not due to any Force Majeure Event or breach by
Purchaser of any of its obligations under this Agreement, the following amount
as liquidated damages: For each full day after the first thirty (30) days
following the date that the Delivery of such Major Turbine Component is delayed
beyond the date specified in the Delivery Schedule, an amount equal $***** per Turbine per day for the first
fifteen (15) days after delay payments become payable, an amount equal to
$***** per day for the next fifteen (15) days, and an amount equal to $*****
per day thereafter (the “Delay Delivery Damages”); provided that, in no event
shall the aggregate Delay Delivery Damages payable hereunder exceed *****
percent (*****%) of the pro-rata portion of the Purchase Price applicable to
the Turbine for which such delayed Major Turbine Component is a component. It
is understood and acknowledged by the Parties that if more than one Major
Turbine Component applicable to a Turbine is delivered late, the liquidated
damages applicable to the Turbine will not exceed $***** per day (for the first
15 days after delay payments become payable), $***** per day (for the next 15
days of delay payments), and $***** per day (for delay payments thereafter), as
applicable. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Delay Delivery Damages
set forth above are a reasonable estimate of the damages Purchaser will suffer
because of late Delivery of any Major Turbine Component and that, therefore,
the Delay Delivery Damages set forth herein shall be Purchaser’s sole and
exclusive remedy with respect to such Delivery delays.

perform, and limit damages to the other Party and shall promptly resume its
performance when the Force Majeure Event no longer impacts its ability to
perform, and shall give the other Party prompt notice of its intent to resume
such performance;

 

(c)                       the
suspension of a Party’s performance affected by the Force Majeure Event shall
be of no greater scope and of no longer duration than is reasonably required by
the Force Majeure Event;

 

(d)                      no
liability of either Party which arose before the occurrence of the Force
Majeure Event shall be excused as a result of the occurrence thereof; and

 

(e)                       no
Force Majeure Event shall relieve any Party from performing those of its

any of the Commissioning Work to be temporarily or permanently prevented,
Supplier shall be entitled to a Change Order reflecting such impact of such
Force Majeure Event, including an extension in Supplier’s time for performance
for such delay to the extent Supplier’s performance is actually delayed. In the
case of a Force Majeure Event, Supplier must notify Purchaser of Supplier’s
intent to request a Change Order (the “Notice of Intention”) within thirty (30)
Business Days of the Force Majeure Event. Supplier shall submit to Purchaser a
draft Change Order outlining, with reasonable specificity, the requested Scope
Changes within ten (10) Business Days after the Notice of Intention is
delivered to Purchaser.

Changes Caused by Events within the Control of Purchaser. If Purchaser, EPC
Contractor or any of Purchaser’s Contractors causes an event that materially
adversely affects Supplier’s performance of all or a portion of the sale and
Delivery obligations hereunder or if such event causes the Commissioning Work
to be temporarily or permanently prevented, Supplier shall be entitled to a
Change Order reflecting such impact of such event, including (i) an
extension in Supplier’s time for performance for such delay to the extent
Supplier’s performance is actually delayed, and (ii) an increase in the
Purchase Price with respect to such additional cost to the extent such delay is
caused solely by Purchaser, EPC Contractor or any of Purchaser’s Contractors. In
the case of such a Purchaser caused event, Supplier must notify Purchaser of
Supplier’s intent to request a Change Order (the “Notice of Intention”) within
thirty (30) Business Days of the Purchaser caused event. Supplier shall submit
to Purchaser a draft Change Order outlining, with reasonable specificity, the
requested Scope Changes within ten (10) Business Days after the Notice of
Intention is delivered to Purchaser.

discovery, are to be in accordance with the U.S. Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, discovery allowed each of the
Arbitrating Parties shall not exceed: (i) five (5) party depositions;
(ii) three (3) nonparty depositions; (iii) three (3) depositions of
any experts selected to give opinions in the arbitration (as well as the production
of any documents relied upon by such experts); and (iv) fifteen (15)
interrogatories (with each subpart counted as a separate interrogatory).
Discovery shall not include requests for admissions. No deposition shall last
more than two (2) days in length. Further, all discovery must, without
exception, be completed within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date the
arbitration panel is appointed. Any documents that are not produced to the
other Arbitrating Party prior to the termination of this 120-day discovery
period may not be offered into evidence at the arbitration hearing unless such
production shall not prejudice the non-producing Arbitrating Party as
determined by the arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be. Likewise, any
witnesses who have not been produced for deposition, despite a request from the
other side, may not testify or submit affidavits at the arbitration hearing.

 

(c)       The arbitrator or
arbitrators, as the case may be, shall render his, her or their decision, in
the latter case upon the concurrence of at least two (2) of their number,
as soon as possible but no later than thirty (30) days after the conclusion of
any hearings before such arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be, unless
such 30-day period is extended by the arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case
may be. The decision and award shall in either case be in writing and
counterpart copies of such decision shall be delivered to each of the
Arbitrating Parties. Such decision shall be based solely upon the written
arguments and contentions, evidence and legal authorities, submitted by each
Arbitrating Party. In rendering such decision and award, the arbitrator shall
not add to, subtract from or otherwise modify the provisions of this Agreement.
Any award rendered shall be final and conclusive upon the parties and a
judgment on any such award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction,
state or federal, having jurisdiction. No arbitration proceeding shall be
commenced after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings
based upon such subject matter would be barred by the applicable statute of
limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section
or elsewhere in this Agreement, provisional injunctive or other provisional equitable
relief may be sought by the parties without first submitting the subject
dispute to arbitration so long as injunctive relief is otherwise warranted by
applicable law.

location be borne by Purchaser, and (iii) the Towers at the manufacturing
facility located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, or at such other domestic location
as Supplier may specify at any point prior to three (3) months from the
Delivery date set forth in the Delivery Schedule. Each of the foregoing
locations is referred to herein as a “Designated Delivery Location.”

 

5.5           Delay Delivery Damages. The
Parties acknowledge that Purchaser will suffer damages that will be difficult
to ascertain if Purchaser fails to Deliver any Major Turbine Component within thirty
(30) days of the applicable date of Delivery set forth in the Delivery
Schedule. Consequently, the Parties agree that Supplier will pay Purchaser, if
any Major Turbine Component is Delivered thirty (30) days or more late and such
delay was not due to any Force Majeure Event or breach by Purchaser of any of
its obligations under this Agreement, the following amount as liquidated
damages: For each full day after the first thirty (30) days following the date
that the Delivery of such Major Turbine Component is delayed beyond the date
specified in the Delivery Schedule, an amount equal to $***** per Turbine per
day for the first fifteen (15) days after delay payments become payable, an
amount equal to $***** per day for the next fifteen (15) days, and an amount
equal to $***** per day thereafter (the “Delay Delivery Damages”); provided
that, in no event shall the aggregate Delay Delivery Damages payable hereunder
exceed ***** percent (*****%) of the pro-rata portion of the Purchase Price
applicable to the Turbine for which such delayed Major Turbine Component is a
component. It is understood and acknowledged by the Parties that if more than
one Major Turbine Component applicable to a Turbine is delivered late, the
liquidated damages applicable to the Turbine will not exceed $***** per day
(for the first 15 days after delay payments become payable), $***** per day
(for the next 15 days of delay payments), and $***** per day (for delay
payments thereafter), as applicable. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the
Delay Delivery Damages set forth above are a reasonable estimate of the damages
Purchaser will suffer because of late Delivery of any Major Turbine Component
and that, therefore, the Delay Delivery Damages set forth herein shall be
Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to such Delivery delays.

FINAL
ASSEMBLY WORK, INSTALLATION WORK, 

COMMISSIONING WORK AND PROJECT COMPLETION

 

6.1           Final Assembly Work and Turbine
Installation. Purchaser shall complete the Final Assembly Work with respect
to all Turbines in conformance with the procedures and requirements set forth
in Exhibit P, and shall complete the Installation Work with respect
to all Turbines in accordance with the Installation Procedures and, subject to Section 5.3
above, within the period of time set forth on the Completion Schedule.

 

6.2           Commissioning. Commissioning
of the Turbines shall be conducted as follows:

 

6.2.1        Advance Completion
Notice. No less than thirty (30) days prior to the date Purchaser expects
Supplier to commence the Commissioning Work, Purchaser shall provide Supplier
with written notice (the “Advance Completion Notice”) of Purchaser’s
anticipated completion date of the Installation Work and the date on which
Supplier shall commence the Commissioning Work (which date shall be no later
than the date that Supplier is obligated to commence the Commissioning Work as
set forth in the Completion Schedule). Purchaser shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to schedule Turbine Installation for all Turbines in the
Project so that Supplier can complete the Commissioning of each Turbine without
interruption or delay on a continuous basis until all the Turbines have been
Commissioned.

 

6.2.2        Turbine
Installation Inspection. Following completion of the Installation Work with
respect to any Turbine, Purchaser shall deliver a written notice of completion
to Supplier (an “Installation Completion Notice”) and Supplier shall examine
each Turbine in accordance with the Installation Procedures and the Turbine
Installation Manual. If the Turbine fails to conform to the standards contained
in the installation inspection procedures set forth in the Turbine Installation
Manual, then it shall be deemed not properly installed, and Supplier shall
promptly so notify Purchaser. Purchaser shall then promptly take all required
action to complete the Installation Work for all Turbine(s) failing the
installation inspection procedures.

 

6.2.3        Commissioning Work.
Supplier shall perform the Commissioning Work for the Turbines in accordance
with the Commissioning and Start-Up Procedures and the Completion Schedule,
subject to any adjustment in the completion of the Commissioning Work, pursuant
to Section 5.3 hereof, due to Supplier’s early Delivery of the
Supply Items (provided, however, that Supplier’s obligation to Complete the
Commissioning Work by such time set forth on the Completion Schedule shall be
extended to the extent of Purchaser’s delay in completing the Installation
Work). Upon completion of the Commissioning of each Turbine, Supplier shall
issue to Purchaser a commissioning certificate for such Turbine in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit M (each a “Commissioning Certificate”).
Within five (5) days after receipt of a Commissioning Certificate,
Purchaser shall either approve such Commissioning Certificate or deliver to
Supplier written notice of any work remaining to be completed by Supplier (the “Punch
List Work”). If Purchaser fails to deliver such notice within such five (5) day
period, the Commissioning Certificate will be deemed approved by Purchaser.

 

12

 

6.3           Project Completion. Within
five (5) days after the delivery by Supplier to Purchaser of a
Commissioning Certificate for the Project’s final Turbine, Supplier shall also
deliver to Purchaser a completion certificate for all Turbines in the Project
(the “Project Completion Certificate”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N,
together with a list of any remaining Punch List Work on any Turbine, a
schedule for completing the Punch List Work and an estimate of the cost of each
item of Punch List Work. Supplier shall thereafter promptly complete all Punch
List Work.

 

6.4           Purchaser Delays. In the event
that any of the actions of Purchaser, the EPC Contractor or any of Purchaser’s
Contractors cause a delay in the performance by Supplier of the Commissioning
Work, Purchaser shall pay Supplier its actual documented costs directly
attributable to such delay, including wages, lodging and meals.

FORCE
MAJEURE EVENTS

 

7.1           Excused Performance. If either
Party is rendered wholly or partially unable to perform its obligations (other
than payment obligations) under this Agreement due to the occurrence of a Force
Majeure Event, such Party will be excused from the affected performance
obligation (other than payment obligations), provided that:

 

(a)   the affected Party gives the other Party
notice describing the particulars of the occurrence, including an estimate of
its expected duration and probable impact on the affected Party’s obligations
hereunder, such notice shall be given promptly after becoming aware of the
occurrence of the Force Majeure Event, and, in no event more than seven (7) days
after the affected Party becomes aware or should reasonably have been aware of
such occurrence;

 

(b)   the affected Party shall continually exercise
all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of such Force
Majeure Event, remedy its inability to perform, and limit damages to the other
Party and shall promptly resume its performance when the Force Majeure Event no
longer impacts its ability to perform, and shall give the other Party prompt
notice of its intent to resume such performance;

 

(c)   the suspension of a Party’s performance
affected by the Force Majeure Event shall be of no greater scope and of no
longer duration than is reasonably required by the Force Majeure Event;

 

(d)   no liability of either Party which arose
before the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event shall be excused as a result
of the occurrence thereof; and

 

(e)   no Force Majeure Event shall relieve any
Party from performing those of its obligations that are not materially affected
by the Force Majeure Event.

CHANGE
ORDERS

 

8.1           Change Order. The term “Change
Order” as used herein shall mean a written instrument signed by Purchaser and
Supplier, stating their mutual agreement upon any of the following: (i) a
change in the fabrication or features of the Turbines (such as adding Federal
Aviation Administration lighting or a cold weather package); (ii) a change
in the Delivery Schedule or Completion Schedule; (iii) a change in the
Commissioning Work; (iv) a change in the number of or location of Project sites;
or (v) an adjustment in the Purchase Price (collectively “Scope Changes”).

 

8.2           Change Order Process.
Purchaser may request Scope Changes within the general scope of this Agreement
consisting of additions, deletions, or other revisions. If Purchaser so desires
to request Scope Changes, it shall submit a change request to Supplier in
writing. Within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of any such
request, Supplier shall submit a detailed proposal to Purchaser stating (a) the
increase or decrease, if any, in the Purchase Price which would result from
such change, and (b) the effect, if any, upon the Delivery Schedule or
Completion Schedule by reason of such proposed change. Purchaser shall have
five (5) days from receipt of Supplier’s detailed proposal to accept or
reject in writing Supplier’s proposal in relation to the requested change. If
Purchaser agrees with Supplier’s proposal, Purchaser and Supplier shall execute
a Change Order reflecting the requested Scope Changes and proposed adjustments,
if any, in the Purchase Price and the Delivery Schedule or Completion Schedule.
In the event Purchaser disagrees with Supplier’s proposal, Purchaser shall
promptly so notify Supplier, following which the Parties shall negotiate in
good faith a solution which is satisfactory to both Purchaser and Supplier.
Should Purchaser fail to respond to Supplier in writing within the foregoing
five (5) day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have withdrawn its
requested change.

 

8.3           No Change. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Supplier shall not be
obligated to proceed with any Scope Changes requested by Purchaser unless and
until a Change Order is executed by the Parties in relation to such change.
Further, Supplier shall not be required to implement a requested Scope Change
by Purchaser if the implementation of such change would, in Supplier’s
reasonable opinion, likely impair Supplier’s ability to achieve any of the
performance guarantees, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement,
the OMS Agreement, and/or the Warranty Agreement.

 

8.4           Scope Changes Caused by a Force
Majeure Event. If a Force Majeure Event occurs that materially adversely
affects Supplier’s performance of all or a portion of the sale and Delivery
obligations hereunder or if such a Force Majeure Event causes any of the
Commissioning Work to be temporarily or permanently prevented, Supplier shall
be entitled to a Change Order reflecting such impact of such Force Majeure
Event, including an extension in Supplier’s time for performance for such delay
to the extent Supplier’s performance is actually delayed. In the case of a
Force Majeure Event, Supplier must notify Purchaser of Supplier’s intent to
request a Change Order (the “Notice of Intention”) within thirty (30) Business
Days of the Force Majeure Event. Supplier shall submit to Purchaser a draft
Change Order outlining, with reasonable specificity, the requested Scope
Changes within ten (10) Business Days after the Notice of Intention is
delivered to Purchaser.

 

14

 

8.5           Scope Changes Caused by Events
within the Control of Purchaser. If Purchaser, EPC Contractor or any of
Purchaser’s Contractors causes an event that materially adversely affects
Supplier’s performance of all or a portion of the sale and Delivery obligations
hereunder or if such event causes the Commissioning Work to be temporarily or
permanently prevented, Supplier shall be entitled to a Change Order reflecting
such impact of such event, including (i) an extension in Supplier’s time
for performance for such delay to the extent Supplier’s performance is actually
delayed, and (ii) an increase in the Purchase Price with respect to such
additional cost to the extent such delay is caused solely by Purchaser, EPC
Contractor or any of Purchaser’s Contractors. In the case of such a Purchaser
caused event, Supplier must notify Purchaser of Supplier’s intent to request a
Change Order (the “Notice of Intention”) within thirty (30) Business Days of
the Purchaser caused event. Supplier shall submit to Purchaser a draft Change
Order outlining, with reasonable specificity, the requested Scope Changes
within ten (10) Business Days after the Notice of Intention is delivered
to Purchaser.

in addition to those rights and remedies that may be available to Purchaser at
law or in equity, and subject to Section 9.2 of this Agreement,
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Supplier;
provided however, that amounts applicable to Supply Items delivered or services
performed by Supplier through the date of termination of this Agreement shall
be paid by Purchaser to Supplier.

 

14.3         Default by Purchaser. Purchaser
shall be in default under this Agreement should any one or more of the
following events or conditions arise or exist:

 

(i)            Purchaser or Guarantor becomes
insolvent, or generally does not pay its debts as they become due, or admits in
writing its inability to pay its debts, or makes a general assignment for the
benefit of creditors; or

 

(ii)           Insolvency, receivership,
reorganization or bankruptcy proceedings are commenced by or against Purchaser
or Guarantor and, in the case of any such involuntary proceeding, that is not
dismissed or stayed within sixty (60) days after it is commenced; or

 

(iii)          Purchaser fails to timely pay to
Supplier any required payment under this Agreement when due, including failure
to timely provide any Down Payment or any Progress Payment, which failure
continues for ten (10) days after written notice of failure to make
payment has been received by Purchaser from Supplier; or

 

22

 

(iv)          Purchaser fails to perform any
material term or provision of this Agreement, including failure to timely
provide the Guaranty to Supplier, and such failure continues for thirty (30)
Business Days following receipt of written notice from Supplier to cure such
failure; provided, however, if such failure cannot with due diligence be
remedied by Purchaser within such thirty (30) Business Day period, and
Purchaser shall have diligently prosecuted the remedying of such failure within
such thirty (30) Business Days, such period shall be extended by such
additional time period as may be reasonably required by Purchaser to cure such
failure; or

 

(v)           The revocation or other termination
of the Guaranty by Guarantor, or the breach by Guarantor of any material term
or provision of the Guaranty, including any payment obligation thereunder,
which breach continues for a period of ten (10) days after written notice
of such breach has been received by Guarantor from Supplier.

 

14.4             Supplier’s Remedies. In the
event that Purchaser is in default pursuant to Section 14.3, and
said default is not timely cured within the time periods set forth above,
Supplier, in lieu of any rights and remedies that may be available to Supplier
at law or in equity, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written
notice to Purchaser, which termination shall be effective upon delivery of
Supplier’s notice to Purchaser. Within three (3) Business Days of the
effective date of such termination, Purchaser shall pay to Supplier the
liquidated damages set forth on the termination schedule attached hereto as
Exhibit G (“Termination Schedule”), which shall constitute Supplier’s exclusive
remedy, and Supplier shall have no right to damages or compensation for such
termination other than payment of the liquidated damages set forth on the
Termination Schedule.

 

14.5             Cancellation Due to a Force
Majeure Event. If Supplier is entirely prevented from performing its
obligations hereunder for a period of one-hundred eighty (180) consecutive days
as a result of the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event suffered by Supplier,
then Supplier may cancel, without additional liability, any then remaining
unperformed portion of this Agreement, upon not less than thirty (30) Business
Days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser; provided, however, that nothing in
this Section 14.5 shall relieve or excuse Supplier from its
obligations under Article 7 of this Agreement in respect of the
occurrence of a Force Majeure Event or relieve either Party from any payment
obligation that has accrued as of the date of cancellation or prior thereto;
provided further, however, that any payment obligations of Purchaser shall be
reduced by the amount of funds received by Supplier, if any, in connection with
the resale of any Turbines or Turbine components sold that are applicable to
such payment obligations of Purchaser, and, if following such reduction,
Purchaser is owed a refund of some portion of the Purchase Price from Supplier,
Supplier shall refund to Purchaser the applicable amount of Purchase Price previously
paid to Supplier within thirty (30) days of such termination.

 

14.6         Termination *****. Purchaser
shall have the right, only at any time up to, and not later than, ***** prior
to the scheduled date for Delivery of the first Major Turbine Component to be
Delivered under this Agreement pursuant to the Delivery Schedule, upon the
occurrence of a *****, to terminate all of the Turbine Supply Documents upon *****
prior written notice to Supplier. *****

 

23

 

*****. Upon written notice from Purchaser, Supplier
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Purchaser with *****
reasonably requested by Purchaser regarding *****. In the event that the
Parties disagree whether a ***** has occurred, the matter shall be resolved in
accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article 15
of this Agreement. If a ***** occurs prior to ***** prior to the scheduled
Delivery Date of the first Major Turbine Component, such ***** shall not exist
in the Turbines to be Delivered in accordance with this Agreement.

 

14.7         Termination for Convenience. The
Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for convenience with
respect to any Turbine until title to such Turbine has passed to Purchaser. Such
termination shall be effective upon the later to occur of (i) delivery to
Supplier of written notice of termination and (ii) receipt by Supplier of
liquidated damages in the amount on a per Turbine basis with respect to such
Turbine in accordance with the Termination Schedule attached to this Agreement
as Exhibit G.

 

14.8         Surviving Obligations.
Cancellation or expiration of all or any portion of this Agreement (a) shall
not relieve Purchaser of its obligations with respect to the confidentiality of
Supplier’s proprietary information as set forth in Section 4.5 of
this Agreement, or either Party of its confidentiality obligations as set forth
in Section 16.9 of this Agreement, (b) shall not relieve
either Party of any obligation hereunder which expressly or by implication
survives termination hereof, and (c) except as otherwise provided in any
provision of this Agreement expressly limiting the liability of either Party,
shall not relieve either Purchaser or Supplier of any obligations or
liabilities for loss or damage to the other Party arising out of or caused by
acts or omissions of such Party prior to the effectiveness of such termination
or arising out of such termination, and shall not relieve Supplier of its
obligations as to portions of the items supplied or other services hereunder
already supplied or performed or of obligations assumed by Supplier prior to
the date of termination. This Article shall survive the termination or
expiration of this Agreement.

DISPUTE
RESOLUTION

 

15.1     Procedure. In the event a dispute,
controversy or claim (herein, a “dispute”) arises between Purchaser and
Supplier relating to this Agreement, the aggrieved Party shall promptly provide
written notification of the dispute to the other Party within ten (10) days
after such dispute arises and the Parties shall resolve such dispute as
provided herein:

 

15.1.1   Executives Meeting. A meeting shall be
held between the Parties, attended by representatives of the Parties with
decision-making authority regarding the dispute, to attempt in good faith to
negotiate a resolution of the dispute. Such meeting shall be held in
Carpinteria, California within thirty (30) days after a notice of dispute has
been delivered under Section 15.1 above.

 

24

 

15.1.2  Independent Engineer’s
Decision. If the dispute involves a technical issue, within ten
(10) days after such meeting, the Parties have not resolved the dispute,
either Party shall submit the dispute to the Independent Engineer for a
non-binding determination, together with such information in support of their
position as may be relevant, which information will simultaneously be sent to
the other Party. The Independent Engineer may hold separate meetings with each
Party or call a joint meeting of the Parties, to be held in Carpinteria,
California. The Independent Engineer shall, within thirty (30) days after such
request for a determination, issue a non-binding decision. Any Party which does
not wish to comply with such decision shall promptly provide written
notification of its intention to the other Party within five (5) days of
such decision. The Parties shall meet in Chicago, Illinois within twenty (20)
days of such notice to attempt, in good faith, to negotiate a final resolution
to the dispute. Any Party which does not wish to comply with such decision
shall within ten (10) days after the date of such meeting submit the
dispute to arbitration within twenty (20) days after the date of such decision
to arbitration in accordance with Section 15.1.3 below. The Parties
shall share equally the costs of the Independent Engineer.

 

15.1.3  Arbitration.

 

(a)       If the
Parties are not successful in resolving a dispute, controversy or claim
pursuant to Sections 15.1.1 and 15.1.2, above, then such dispute
shall be resolved through binding arbitration to take place in Chicago,
Illinois. The Parties agree to conduct all arbitration proceedings in
accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association. This Section 15.1.3 is governed by the
Federal Arbitration Act.

 

(b)       A Party desiring to
submit to arbitration any such dispute, controversy or claim shall furnish its
demand for arbitration in writing to the other Party or Parties thereto, which
demand shall contain a brief statement of the matter in controversy, as well as
a list containing the names of three (3) suggested arbitrators from the
list of arbitrators maintained by the American Arbitration Association (the
“AAA List”) from which list, or from other sources, all of the Parties shall
choose one (1) mutually acceptable arbitrator. If the Parties are unable
to agree upon the identity of a single arbitrator, within ten (10) days
from the receipt of such demand, the Purchaser and the Supplier shall each
(collectively, the “Arbitrating Parties”), within a period of five
(5) additional days, name from the AAA List one (1) arbitrator by
written notice to the other Arbitrating Party or Parties. Within ten
(10) days after this notice, the two (2) arbitrators so named shall
choose a third arbitrator. If any Arbitrating Party fails to name an arbitrator
within the specified five (5) day period or if the two arbitrators chosen
by the Arbitrating Parties fail to select a third arbitrator within the ten
(10) day period, then either Arbitrating Party, on behalf of and on notice to
the other Arbitrating Party or Parties, may request appointment by the American
Arbitration Association in accordance with its rules then prevailing of
the required additional arbitrator or arbitrators so that there shall be a
panel of three (3) arbitrators. If the American Arbitration Association
should fail to appoint the necessary arbitrator or arbitrators within fifteen
(15) days after such request is made, then either Arbitrating Party may apply,
on notice to the other Arbitrating Party or Parties, to a court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of such necessary additional arbitrators. Each
of the arbitrator or arbitrators chosen or appointed pursuant to this Section 15.1.3(b) shall
be a person having at least ten (10) years experience in the United States in
the legal profession and shall

 

25

 

not be a past or
present officer, director or employee of, or have any material interest in, any
Arbitrating Party or any Affiliate of an Arbitrating Party. All discovery,
including the right to take depositions and interrogatories, shall be permitted
in the time and manner provided by the then applicable Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure. The Arbitrating Parties shall be entitled to reasonable
discovery prior to the arbitration hearing, and the arbitrator or arbitrators,
as the case may be, shall have the power upon application of any Arbitrating
Party to make all appropriate orders for discovery from the other Arbitrating
Party, including discovery of documents, responses to interrogatories, and
depositions. The scope, time and manner of discovery, including all document
discovery, are to be in accordance with the U.S. Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, discovery allowed each of the
Arbitrating Parties shall not exceed: (i) five (5) party depositions;
(ii) three (3) nonparty depositions; (iii) three
(3) depositions of any experts selected to give opinions in the
arbitration (as well as the production of any documents relied upon by such
experts); and (iv) fifteen (15) interrogatories (with each subpart counted
as a separate interrogatory). Discovery shall not include requests for
admissions. No deposition shall last more than two (2) days in length.
Further, all discovery must, without exception, be completed within one hundred
twenty (120) days from the date the arbitration panel is appointed. Any
documents that are not produced to the other Arbitrating Party prior to the
termination of this 120-day discovery period may not be offered into evidence
at the arbitration hearing unless such production shall not prejudice the
non-producing Arbitrating Party as determined by the arbitrator or arbitrators,
as the case may be. Likewise, any witnesses who have not been produced for
deposition, despite a request from the other side, may not testify or submit
affidavits at the arbitration hearing.

 

(c)       The arbitrator or
arbitrators, as the case may be, shall render his, her or their decision, in
the latter case upon the concurrence of at least two (2) of their number,
as soon as possible but no later than thirty (30) days after the conclusion of
any hearings before such arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be, unless
such 30-day period is extended by the arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case
may be. The decision and award shall in either case be in writing and
counterpart copies of such decision shall be delivered to each of the
Arbitrating Parties. Such decision shall be based solely upon the written
arguments and contentions, evidence and legal authorities, submitted by each
Arbitrating Party. In rendering such decision and award, the arbitrator shall
not add to, subtract from or otherwise modify the provisions of this Agreement.
Any award rendered shall be final and conclusive upon the parties and a
judgment on any such award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction,
state or federal, having jurisdiction. No arbitration proceeding shall be
commenced after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings
based upon such subject matter would be barred by the applicable statute of
limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section
or elsewhere in this Agreement, provisional injunctive or other provisional equitable
relief may be sought by the parties without first submitting the subject
dispute to arbitration so long as injunctive relief is otherwise warranted by
applicable law.

 

15.2     Qualifications of
Arbitrators; Expenses.

 

(a)       The arbitrators in the
arbitration proceeding provided for in this Article 15 shall be
individuals experienced in the energy construction industry and competent to
pass on the matter presented for arbitration.

 

26

 

(b)       Supplier, on the one
hand, and Purchaser, on the other, shall share equally the compensation and
expenses of the arbitrators as well as all fees imposed by the AAA. Supplier
and Purchaser shall be responsible for their own costs and legal fees, if any.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a majority of the arbitrators shall be empowered
to award the prevailing Party its costs, expenses and/or legal fees.

 

15.3     Performance During
Dispute. While any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or relating
to this Agreement is pending, Purchaser and Supplier shall continue to perform
their obligations hereunder notwithstanding such controversy, dispute or claim.

 

15.4     Consolidation. No
arbitration arising under this Agreement shall include, by consolidation,
joinder or any other manner, any person or entity not a Party to this
Agreement, unless (a) such person or entity is substantially involved in a
common question of fact or law, (b) the presence of such person or entity
is required if complete relief is to be accorded in the arbitration, and
(c) such person or entity has consented to such inclusion.

 

15.5     Language. All
arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in the English language.

 

ARTICLE 16

 

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

16.1     Waiver. No delay
or omission by the Parties hereto in exercising any right or remedy provided
for herein shall constitute a waiver of such right or remedy nor shall it be
construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right or remedy on any future
occasion.

 

16.2     Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
successors and permitted assigns of Supplier and Purchaser. Except as set forth
herein, neither Supplier nor Purchaser may assign, convey or transfer this
Agreement, in whole or in part, except upon the prior written consent of the
other Party hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and any
such purported transfer or assignment shall be null and void. Notwithstanding
any permitted assignment hereunder, the assignor shall remain liable to the other
Party for all duties and responsibilities hereunder unless affirmatively
recited by the other Party.

 

16.3     Permitted Assignments.
Notwithstanding Section 16.2 above, (i) either Party may
transfer or assign its rights, benefits and obligations under this Agreement to
an Affiliate; provided, that if requested by Purchaser, Supplier shall execute
and deliver a guaranty of the performance hereunder by such an assignee,
(ii) Purchaser may assign its rights, benefits and obligations under this
Agreement to any purchaser of the Project; provided, that Purchaser may not
transfer or assign this Agreement in whole or in part to a wind turbine design
or manufacturing competitor of Supplier without the prior written consent of
Supplier, which consent may be withheld in Supplier’s sole discretion and which
may be conditioned upon the creditworthiness of the purchaser,
(iii) Supplier is authorized to subcontract any portion of its duties
under this Agreement to a third party or to delegate its obligations hereunder,
in the ordinary course of its business, without reducing the scope of
Supplier’s undertakings, obligations, and commitments to Purchaser, provided
that Supplier agrees that it will not use any supplier for any Major Turbine
Components not listed on Exhibit H without Purchaser’s advance
written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,

 

27

 

conditioned or
delayed, and (iv) a Party, without the consent of the other Party, may
assign its interest in this Agreement to a lender, collateral trustee, security
trustee or similar entity as collateral security for any financing entered into
by the assigning Party, including a lease financing. The non-assigning Party
shall, upon fifteen (15) days’ prior written request from the assigning Party,
execute a consent containing customary terms and conditions, to any such
collateral assignment. Further, notwithstanding Section 16.2 above,
Purchaser shall have the right to assign no less than all of its rights, duties
and obligations under the Turbine Supply Documents to any third party, subject
to, and conditioned upon, the prior written consent of Supplier, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; provided however that
any such assignment is conditioned upon the receipt of a guarantee for the
benefit of Supplier of the performance of the contract obligations, including
payment security, in a form acceptable to Supplier, in its sole and absolute
discretion. Any such assignment to a third party also shall be subject to the
following: (i) prior to the effectiveness of such assignment, the third
party assignee shall agree to revisions to the Turbine Supply Documents as
determined by Supplier to be reasonably necessary, to effect the purchase and
installation of the Turbines by the third party assignee at a project site to
be determined between Supplier and any such third party assignee, (ii) the
third party assignee shall assume all of the duties, obligations, restrictions
and covenants of Purchaser under the Turbine Supply Documents, as revised,
(iii) any monies or other consideration received by, or otherwise payable
to, Purchaser from the third party assignee in connection with such assignment,
in excess of the Down Payment and any Progress Payments actually paid by
Purchaser to Supplier, other than the reasonable actual documented expenses
incurred by Purchaser in connection with the assignment of the Turbine Supply
Documents to the third party, shall be paid to Supplier and (iv) Purchaser
shall pay to Supplier all of Supplier’s costs associated with such assignment
from Purchaser to the third party assignee, including but not limited to all of
Supplier’s costs (including reasonable legal fees) incurred in connection with
the revision of the Turbine Supply Documents, within thirty (30) days of
receipt of an applicable invoice from Supplier.

 

16.4     Notices.

 

(a)       Any notice required or

Parties provided for under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing
(unless otherwise provided) and shall be served personally or by reputable

5.1       Commencement. Subject to Section 2.1.1,
Supplier shall commence performance of its obligations under this Agreement on
the Down Payment Date. In addition to Supplier’s other rights and remedies
hereunder, if any payment due under this Agreement is not timely made by
Purchaser, the delinquent payment amount shall accrue interest at the Default
Rate.

 

5.2       Shipping Arrangements. All Supply
Items shall be delivered Ex Works at the Designated Delivery Locations. For
purposes of this Agreement, each individual Supply Item and the SCADA System
shall be deemed “Delivered” and Supplier shall have satisfied its delivery
arrangements with respect thereto, when Supplier makes available such Supply
Item and SCADA System at its Designated Delivery Location for pick up by
Purchaser, provided however, that Purchaser may not take custody and control of
the said Supply Item until the applicable Progress Payment has been made by
Purchaser and received by Supplier. Purchaser shall be responsible for all
loading and shipment of the Supply Items and SCADA System from their respective
Designated Delivery Locations to the Project Site and shall pay for all costs
and expenses incurred by Purchaser related thereto, including the costs of
maintaining insurance on such Supply Item and SCADA System during shipment of
such Supply Item and SCADA System from its respective Designated Delivery
Location to the Project Site.

 

5.3       Delivery Schedule. The Supply
Items shall be Delivered to their Designated Delivery Locations in accordance
with the Delivery Schedule attached as Exhibit L (the “Delivery
Schedule”); provided however, that Supplier shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to work with Purchaser to revise the Delivery Schedule as necessary
considering Supplier’s manufacturing

 

10

 

schedules and Purchaser’s
Project requirements. Delivery dates in the Delivery Schedule will be deemed
met so long as the Supply Items are delivered to the Designated Delivery
Locations on or before the date for such delivery set forth in the Delivery
Schedule; provided that, Supplier shall have the right to Deliver the Supply
Items up to one (1) month earlier than provided for in the Delivery
Schedule. The SCADA System shall be delivered at a Designated Delivery Location
mutually agreed by the Parties following the installation of the first Turbine
at the Project Site by Purchaser.

 

5.4       Designated Delivery Locations.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, Supplier shall Deliver the
Supply Items as follows: (i) Turbine Nacelle, Turbine Controller, Turbine
hub and Ancillary Parts and Equipment at Supplier’s factory near Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, (ii) the Turbine Blades at such location or warehouse facility as
Supplier may direct near Houston, Texas, or at another mutually agreed upon
location, provided any costs associated with such other mutually agreed
location be borne by Purchaser, and (iii) the Towers at the manufacturing
facility located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, or at such other domestic location
as Supplier may specify at any point prior to three (3) months from the
Delivery date set forth in the Delivery Schedule. Each of the foregoing
locations is referred to herein as a “Designated Delivery Location.”

 

5.5       Delay Delivery Damages. The
Parties acknowledge that Purchaser will suffer damages that will be difficult
to ascertain if Purchaser fails to Deliver any Major Turbine Component within thirty
(30) days of the applicable date of Delivery set forth in the Delivery Schedule.
Consequently, the Parties agree that Supplier will pay Purchaser, if any Major
Turbine Component is Delivered thirty (30) days or more late and such delay was
not due to any Force Majeure Event or breach by Purchaser of any of its
obligations under this Agreement, the following amount as liquidated damages:
For each full day after the first thirty (30) days following the date that the
Delivery of such Major Turbine Component is delayed beyond the date specified
in the Delivery Schedule, an amount equal to $***** per Turbine per day for the
first fifteen (15) days after delay payments become payable, an amount equal to
$***** per day for the next fifteen (15) days, and an amount equal to $*****
per day thereafter (the “Delay Delivery Damages”); provided that, in no event
shall the aggregate Delay Delivery Damages payable hereunder exceed *****
percent (*****%) of the pro-rata portion of the Purchase Price applicable to
the Turbine for which such delayed Major Turbine Component is a component. It
is understood and acknowledged by the Parties that if more than one Major
Turbine Component applicable to a Turbine is delivered late, the liquidated
damages applicable to the Turbine will not exceed $***** per day (for the first
15 days after delay payments become payable), $***** per day (for the next 15
days of delay payments), and $***** per day (for delay payments thereafter), as
applicable. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Delay Delivery Damages
set forth above are a reasonable estimate of the damages Purchaser will suffer
because of late Delivery of any Major Turbine Component and that, therefore,
the Delay Delivery Damages set forth herein shall be Purchaser’s sole and
exclusive remedy with respect to such Delivery delays.

Purchaser shall then promptly take all required action to complete the
Installation Work for all Turbine(s) failing the installation inspection
procedures.

 

6.2.3        Commissioning Work. Supplier
shall perform the Commissioning Work for the Turbines in accordance with the
Commissioning and Start-Up Procedures and the Completion Schedule, subject to
any adjustment in the completion of the Commissioning Work, pursuant to Section 5.3
hereof, due to Supplier’s early Delivery of the Supply Items (provided,
however, that Supplier’s obligation to Complete the Commissioning Work by such
time set forth on the Completion Schedule shall be extended to the extent of
Purchaser’s delay in completing the Installation Work). Upon completion of the
Commissioning of each Turbine, Supplier shall issue to Purchaser a
commissioning certificate for such Turbine in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M
(each a “Commissioning Certificate”). Within five (5) days after receipt
of a Commissioning Certificate, Purchaser shall either approve such
Commissioning Certificate or deliver to Supplier written notice of any work
remaining to be completed by Supplier (the “Punch List Work”). If Purchaser
fails to deliver such notice within such five (5) day period, the
Commissioning Certificate will be deemed approved by Purchaser.

 

12

 

6.3       Project Completion. Within five (5) days
after the delivery by Supplier to Purchaser of a Commissioning Certificate for
the Project’s final Turbine, Supplier shall also deliver to Purchaser a
completion certificate for all Turbines in the Project (the “Project Completion
Certificate”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N, together
with a list of any remaining Punch List Work on any Turbine, a schedule for
completing the Punch List Work and an estimate of the cost of each item of
Punch List Work. Supplier shall thereafter promptly complete all Punch List
Work.

 

6.4       Purchaser Delays. In the event
that any of the actions of Purchaser, the EPC Contractor or any of Purchaser’s
Contractors cause a delay in the performance by Supplier of the Commissioning
Work, Purchaser shall pay Supplier its actual documented costs directly
attributable to such delay, including wages, lodging and meals.

FORCE MAJEURE EVENTS

 

7.1       Excused Performance. If either Party
is rendered wholly or partially unable to perform its obligations (other than
payment obligations) under this Agreement due to the occurrence of a Force
Majeure Event, such Party will be excused from the affected performance
obligation (other than payment obligations), provided that:

 

(a)           the affected Party gives the other
Party notice describing the particulars of the occurrence, including an
estimate of its expected duration and probable impact on the affected Party’s
obligations hereunder, such notice shall be given promptly after becoming aware
of the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event, and, in no event more than seven (7) days
after the affected Party becomes aware or should reasonably have been aware of
such occurrence;

 

(b)           the affected Party shall continually
exercise all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of such
Force Majeure Event, remedy its inability to perform, and limit damages to the
other Party and shall promptly resume its performance when the Force Majeure
Event no longer impacts its ability to perform, and shall give the other Party
prompt notice of its intent to resume such performance;

 

(c)           the suspension of a Party’s
performance affected by the Force Majeure Event shall be of no greater scope
and of no longer duration than is reasonably required by the Force Majeure
Event;

 

(d)           no liability of either Party which
arose before the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event shall be excused as a
result of the occurrence thereof; and

 

(e)           no Force Majeure Event shall relieve
any Party from performing those of its obligations that are not materially
affected by the Force Majeure Event.

sites; or (v) an adjustment in the Purchase Price (collectively “Scope
Changes”).

 

8.2       Change Order Process. Purchaser
may request Scope Changes within the general scope of this Agreement consisting
of additions, deletions, or other revisions. If Purchaser so desires to request
Scope Changes, it shall submit a change request to Supplier in writing. Within
ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of any such request, Supplier
shall submit a detailed proposal to Purchaser stating (a) the increase or
decrease, if any, in the Purchase Price which would result from such change,
and (b) the effect, if any, upon the Delivery Schedule or Completion
Schedule by reason of such proposed change. Purchaser shall have five (5) days
from receipt of Supplier’s detailed proposal to accept or reject in writing
Supplier’s proposal in relation to the requested change. If Purchaser agrees
with Supplier’s proposal, Purchaser and Supplier shall execute a Change Order
reflecting the requested Scope Changes and proposed adjustments, if any, in the
Purchase Price and the Delivery Schedule or Completion Schedule. In the event
Purchaser disagrees with Supplier’s proposal, Purchaser shall promptly so
notify Supplier, following which the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a
solution which is satisfactory to both Purchaser and Supplier. Should Purchaser
fail to respond to Supplier in writing within the foregoing five (5) day
period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have withdrawn its requested change.

 

8.3       No Change. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Supplier shall not be
obligated to proceed with any Scope Changes requested by Purchaser unless and
until a Change Order is executed by the Parties in relation to such change.
Further, Supplier shall not be required to implement a requested Scope Change
by Purchaser if the implementation of such change would, in Supplier’s
reasonable opinion, likely impair Supplier’s ability to achieve any of the
performance guarantees, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement,
the OMS Agreement, and/or the Warranty Agreement.

 

8.4       Scope Changes Caused by a Force
Majeure Event. If a Force Majeure Event occurs that materially adversely
affects Supplier’s performance of all or a portion of the sale and Delivery
obligations hereunder or if such a Force Majeure Event causes any of the
Commissioning Work to be temporarily or permanently prevented, Supplier shall
be entitled to a Change Order reflecting such impact of such Force Majeure
Event, including an extension in Supplier’s time for performance for such delay
to the extent Supplier’s performance is actually delayed. In the case of a
Force Majeure Event, Supplier must notify Purchaser of Supplier’s intent to
request a Change Order (the “Notice of Intention”) within thirty (30) Business
Days of the Force Majeure Event. Supplier shall submit to Purchaser a draft
Change Order outlining, with reasonable specificity, the requested Scope
Changes within ten (10) Business Days after the Notice of Intention is
delivered to Purchaser.

 

14

 

8.5       Scope Changes Caused by Events within
the Control of Purchaser. If Purchaser, EPC Contractor or any of Purchaser’s
Contractors causes an event that materially adversely affects Supplier’s
performance of all or a portion of the sale and Delivery obligations hereunder
or if such event causes the Commissioning Work to be temporarily or permanently
prevented, Supplier shall be entitled to a Change Order reflecting such impact
of such event, including (i) an extension in Supplier’s time for
performance for such delay to the extent Supplier’s performance is actually
delayed, and (ii) an increase in the Purchase Price with respect to such
additional cost to the extent such delay is caused solely by Purchaser, EPC
Contractor or any of Purchaser’s Contractors. In the case of such a Purchaser
caused event, Supplier must notify Purchaser of Supplier’s intent to request a
Change Order (the “Notice of Intention”) within thirty (30) Business Days of
the Purchaser caused event. Supplier shall submit to Purchaser a draft Change
Order outlining, with reasonable specificity, the requested Scope Changes
within ten (10) Business Days after the Notice of Intention is delivered
to Purchaser.

Supplier relating to this Agreement, the aggrieved Party shall promptly provide
written notification of the dispute to the other Party within ten (10) days

provided herein:

 

15.1.1      Executives Meeting. A meeting shall
be held between the Parties, attended by representatives of the Parties with
decision-making authority regarding the dispute, to attempt in good faith to
negotiate a resolution of the dispute. Such meeting shall be held in
Carpinteria, California within thirty (30) days after a notice of dispute has
been delivered under Section 15.1 above.

 

24

 

15.1.2      Independent Engineer’s Decision. If
the dispute involves a technical issue, within ten (10) days after such
meeting, the Parties have not resolved the dispute, either Party shall submit
the dispute to the Independent Engineer for a non-binding determination,
together with such information in support of their position as may be relevant,
which information will simultaneously be sent to the other Party. The

meeting of the Parties, to be held in Carpinteria, California. The Independent
Engineer shall, within thirty (30) days after such request for a determination,
issue a non-binding decision. Any Party which does not wish to comply with such
decision shall promptly provide written notification of its intention to the
other Party within five (5) days of such decision. The Parties shall meet
in Chicago, Illinois within twenty (20) days of such notice to attempt, in good
faith, to negotiate a final resolution to the dispute. Any Party which does not
wish to comply with such decision shall within ten (10) days after the
date of such meeting submit the dispute to arbitration within twenty (20) days
after the date of such decision to arbitration in accordance with Section 15.1.3
below. The Parties shall share equally the costs of the Independent Engineer.

 

15.1.3      Arbitration.

 

(a)        If the Parties are not successful in
resolving a dispute, controversy or claim pursuant to Sections 15.1.1
and 15.1.2, above, then such dispute shall be resolved through binding
arbitration to take place in Chicago, Illinois. The Parties agree to conduct
all arbitration proceedings in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of
the American Arbitration Association. This Section 15.1.3 is
governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

 

(b)        A Party desiring to submit to
arbitration any such dispute, controversy or claim shall furnish its demand for
arbitration in writing to the other Party or Parties thereto, which demand
shall contain a brief statement of the matter in controversy, as well as a list
containing the names of three (3) suggested arbitrators from the list of
arbitrators maintained by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA List”)
from which list, or from other sources, all of the Parties shall choose one (1) mutually
acceptable arbitrator. If the Parties are unable to agree upon the identity of
a single arbitrator, within ten (10) days from the receipt of such demand,
the Purchaser and the Supplier shall each (collectively, the “Arbitrating
Parties”), within a period of five (5) additional days, name from the
AAA List one (1) arbitrator by written notice to the other Arbitrating
Party or Parties. Within ten (10) days after this notice, the two (2) arbitrators
so named shall choose a third arbitrator. If any Arbitrating Party fails to
name an arbitrator within the specified five (5) day period or if the two
arbitrators chosen by the Arbitrating Parties fail to select a third arbitrator
within the ten (10) day period, then either Arbitrating Party, on behalf
of and on notice to the other Arbitrating Party or Parties, may request
appointment by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its rules then
prevailing of the required additional arbitrator or arbitrators so that there
shall be a panel of three (3) arbitrators. If the American Arbitration
Association should fail to appoint the necessary arbitrator or arbitrators
within fifteen (15) days after such request is made, then either Arbitrating
Party may apply, on notice to the other Arbitrating Party or Parties, to a
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of such necessary
additional arbitrators. Each of the arbitrator or arbitrators chosen or appointed
pursuant to this Section 15.1.3(b) shall be a person having at
least ten (10) years experience in the United States in the legal
profession and shall

 

25

 

not be a past or present
officer, director or employee of, or have any material interest in, any
Arbitrating Party or any Affiliate of an Arbitrating Party. All discovery,
including the right to take depositions and interrogatories, shall be permitted
in the time and manner provided by the then applicable Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure. The Arbitrating Parties shall be entitled to reasonable
discovery prior to the arbitration hearing, and the arbitrator or arbitrators,
as the case may be, shall have the power upon application of any Arbitrating
Party to make all appropriate orders for discovery from the other Arbitrating
Party, including discovery of documents, responses to interrogatories, and
depositions. The scope, time and manner of discovery, including all document
discovery, are to be in accordance with the U.S. Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, discovery allowed each of the
Arbitrating Parties shall not exceed: (i) five (5) party depositions;
(ii) three (3) nonparty depositions; (iii) three (3) depositions
of any experts selected to give opinions in the arbitration (as well as the
production of any documents relied upon by such experts); and (iv) fifteen
(15) interrogatories (with each subpart counted as a separate interrogatory).
Discovery shall not include requests for admissions. No deposition shall last
more than two (2) days in length. Further, all discovery must, without
exception, be completed within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date the
arbitration panel is appointed. Any documents that are not produced to the
other Arbitrating Party prior to the termination of this 120-day discovery
period may not be offered into evidence at the arbitration hearing unless such
production shall not prejudice the non-producing Arbitrating Party as
determined by the arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be. Likewise, any
witnesses who have not been produced for deposition, despite a request from the
other side, may not testify or submit affidavits at the arbitration hearing.

(c)        The arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case
may be, shall render his, her or their decision, in the latter case upon the
concurrence of at least two (2) of their number, as soon as possible but
no later than thirty (30) days after the conclusion of any hearings before such
arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be, unless such 30-day period is
extended by the arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be. The decision and
award shall in either case be in writing and counterpart copies of such
decision shall be delivered to each of the Arbitrating Parties. Such decision
shall be based solely upon the written arguments and contentions, evidence and
legal authorities, submitted by each Arbitrating Party. In rendering such
decision and award, the arbitrator shall not add to, subtract from or otherwise
modify the provisions of this Agreement. Any award rendered shall be final and
conclusive upon the parties and a judgment on any such award may be entered in
any court having jurisdiction, state or federal, having jurisdiction. No
arbitration proceeding shall be commenced after the date when institution of
legal or equitable proceedings based upon such subject matter would be barred
by the applicable statute of limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this section or elsewhere in this Agreement, provisional
injunctive or other provisional equitable relief may be sought by the parties
without first submitting the subject dispute to arbitration so long as
injunctive relief is otherwise warranted by applicable law.

 

15.2     Qualifications of Arbitrators; Expenses.

 

(a)        The arbitrators in the arbitration
proceeding provided for in this Article 15 shall be individuals
experienced in the energy construction industry and competent to pass on the
matter presented for arbitration.

 

26

on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other, shall share equally the
compensation and expenses of the arbitrators as well as all fees imposed by the

fees, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a majority of the arbitrators
shall be empowered to award the prevailing Party its costs, expenses and/or
legal fees.

 

15.3     Performance During Dispute. While
any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement
is pending, Purchaser and Supplier shall continue to perform their obligations
hereunder notwithstanding such controversy, dispute or claim.

other manner, any person or entity not a Party to this Agreement, unless (a) such
person or entity is substantially involved in a common question of fact or law,
(b) the presence of such person or entity is required if complete relief
is to be accorded in the arbitration, and (c) such person or entity has
consented to such inclusion.

proceedings shall be conducted in the English language.
