Such liquidated damages, if any, shall be computed based on the date of Shipment of the last Major Component for a given Unit and such computations shall disregard any part of or accessory to the Major Component which may be shipped separately and arrive later unless such part of or accessory to the Major Component is necessary for the installation of the Major Component.

17.2         Commercial Operation.  If any Unit has not achieved Commercial Operation (as defined in Section 8.2) within ten (10) days following Mechanical Completion, the Seller shall pay as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, a sum calculated in accordance with the table below for each Unit for each day of delay until Commercial Operation of such Unit is achieved:

15

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

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

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

ARTICLE 18.       Power Curve Guarantee

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

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

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

16

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

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

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

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

ARTICLE 19.       Sound Level

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

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

ARTICLE 20.       Suspension

20.1         Suspension by Buyer of Work at Site.  The Buyer shall have the right, at any time, to suspend Work at the Site upon written notice to the Seller.  Upon the Seller’s receipt of such notice, the Seller shall immediately suspend the performance of all Work at the Site under this Contract, and the Seller shall notify all of its Subcontractors and Suppliers of the suspension. During the suspension, the Seller shall protect and take care of all Work supplied or to be supplied under this Contract, and the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to

21.3         Remedy in the Event of Termination by Buyer.  If the Buyer terminates this Contract as provided in Section 21.2, in addition to its rights to pursue any remedy existing at law or in equity, the Buyer shall have the right to have the Work (or comparable equipment and services) completed by other vendors for equipment and services comparable to the Equipment and Services described in this Contract.  If the sum of (a) the total cost to the Buyer of completing the Work, (b) all other damages suffered by the Buyer as a result of the default by the Seller, and (c) all amounts previously paid to the Seller under this Contract, exceeds the Contract Price, the Seller shall pay the difference to the Buyer in the Contract Currency within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from the Buyer.

18

Seller’s customers or provided to its own operating personnel for use in connection with such Project, together with any revisions or other modifications to the Software as the Buyer may request from time to time.  All such technical assistance, improvements, Software updates and upgrades and technical bulletins and updates shall be provided at the Buyer’s request, and the Seller shall be reimbursed therefore at the then-current rates charged by the Seller from time to time for similar services to other customers of the Seller which have purchased wind power generation equipment, or, if such services are not being provided to such customers, then at the Seller’s standard rates.  The Buyer shall use such Software updates and upgrades in accordance with the License set forth in Article 28.

21.5         Grounds for Termination by the Seller.  Subject to the rights of any Financing Party, the Seller shall have the right to terminate this Contract for cause in the event that the Buyer: (a) becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, has a receiver or trustee appointed for the benefit of its creditors, or files for protection from creditors under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws; provided, however, that, in the case of an involuntary proceeding, such proceeding is not dismissed or stayed within forty-five (45) days after it is commenced; or (b) fails to make any payment when due as set forth in this Contract;  provided, however, (i) that the Seller shall first have provided the Buyer with written notice of the nature of such failure and of the Seller’s intention to terminate this Contract as a result of such failure, and (ii) that the Buyer shall have failed within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to correct such failure.

21.7         Financing Party Cure Rights.  The Seller may not exercise its right to terminate this Contract under Section 21.5 unless the Seller delivers to the Financing Parties notice of the Buyer’s failure to cure the default (a “Default Notice”) and the Seller’s intent to terminate as a result thereof at the same time the Seller delivers notice thereof to the Buyer.  Each Financing Party or one or more of its designees shall have the right to cure the Buyer’s default within sixty (60) days after the date the Financing Party receives such Default Notice; provided, however, that if the nature of any non-monetary default by the Buyer is such that it cannot be cured by the Financing Party or one or more of its designees without having taken possession of one or more of the Projects, the time provided herein to remedy such default shall be extended for such period of time as is reasonably necessary for the Financing Party or one or more of its designees to lawfully obtain possession of, and be legally entitled to operate, such Projects.   If the Financing Parties intend, or cause one or more of their designees, to assume this Contract, they shall provide notice thereof to the Seller within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Default Notice.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Financing Party may assign part or all of the rights under this Contract, including the Equipment and related services, to one or more designees without the Seller’s consent. Once any default of the Buyer under this Contract is cured by one or more Financing Parties or one or more of their designees, the Seller’s rights to terminate this Contract and to collect termination charges as a result of such default shall be of no further force and effect.

19

Buyer on a confidential basis) increases by more than 5% above the projected costs of such Units on the Effective Date, the Seller and the Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a revised Contract Price for a period of thirty (30) days.  If the Parties are unable to reach agreement within that period of thirty (30) days, then the Seller shall have the right to terminate the Contract and shall refund to the Buyer all payments made by Buyer under the Contract, plus interest at the Default Rate.
