11. WARRANTIES

Warranty obligations in respect of the Wind Farm (including WTGs)


to be fulfilled by the Contractor under this Contract shall be
limited to the following:

(a) the Resource Availability Warranty;

(b) the Reactive Power Import Warranty;

(c) the TransmissionLossWarranty;

(d) the Machine Availability Warranty;

11.1. Resource Availability

The Contractor shall ensure that the Resource Availability of 97%is


maintained on an annual basis.

The compensation for any shortfall in Resource Availability will be


payable on the actual losses computed at the prevailing PPA
feed-in tariff rate, interest cost on GBI revenue delayed with
default interest at the rate of 13%per annum (calculated on the
basis of difference of net present value of the GBI revenue
expected to received now and expected to be received if no
generation was lost subject to a maximum of 50%of the annual
O&M Price for Resource Availability. For first and second year of
operation, the cap would be a maximum of 50% of the annual
O&M Price for the third year.

The formula for Resource Availability is as follows:

"Resource Availability" shall mean the ratio of actual number of


annual hours for which the Wind Farm is in a state of complete
readiness to generate power which is metered at the billing point
and subject to the External Grid availability and all other
parameters referred hereunder, to the total number of available
hours. Resource Availability shall be calculated as follows.

GF1 - <Grid Failure>=Hourslost due to Failure of External Grid

GF2 - Curtailment = Evacuation restriction/Forced backdown


from Electricity Board (EB)due to import and export limitation

FM = Force Majeure hours, including but not limited to:

The term 'Force Majeure Event' as employed herein shall mean


acts of God strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances
(excluding any strikes,lockouts or industrial disturbances by the
employees, workmen of the Contractor), acts of public enmity,
wars, blockades, insurrections,masshostilities

A. such that the Affected Party has been unable to overcome or


prevent despite exercise of reasonable care and due diligence
where such event could have been prevented by the Affected
Party; and

B. such that it/they has/have a material adverse effect on the


Affected Party.

A Force Majeure Event shall not relieve a Party from any liability
for an obligation which arose before the occurrence of that
event, nor does that event affect the obligation to pay money in
a timely manner which matured prior to the occurrence of that
event.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the following shall


not constitute a Force Majeure Event:

(a) economic hardship in the performance of any obligation;

(b) delayed performance of any obligation either on the part


of the Supplier or any of its sub-contractor and Owner
unlesssuch event is caused by an event of Force Majeure
Event;

(c) increased costs of the performance of a Party's obligations


hereunder, including costs of equipment, material or labor;

(d) a breach of any provision of the Contract;

(f) conditions caused by the proven wrongful acts of the
Party claiming Force Majeure Event;

(g) weather or ground conditions reasonably expected from


the climate in the geographic area of the Project, unlessit
is unsafe for performance of the Contract

EE = events excluded from Resource Availability ("Exclusion


Events") are as below:

1} Grid parameters out of the range set out in the


Technical Specifications.

2} Wind speed out of the range set out in the Technical


Specifications.

3} Ambient temperature out of the range set out in the


Technical Specifications

4} Non fulfilment by the Owner of its obligations under


this Contract.

5} Unauthorised modifications to or use of WTGs by


owner:

6} Useof spare parts not authorised by Contractor

7} Operation of the WTGsnot being as per Technical


Specifications and O&M Manuals by Owner;

8} The defect is caused due to any act or omission by


Owner or its agents other than-Contractor;

9} Time taken to make any modifications imposed by


Changes in Law subsequent to commissioning that
have an adverse impact on the performance of the
WTGsthat leads to changes to WTGs;

10} In case of More than 365 (Three Hundred Sixty Five)


grid failures per year involving or requiring a
shut-down or tripping of WTG,computed during any
consecutive 12 (twelve) month period. "Grid Failure"
is defined as a condition in which the grid
parameters (such as voltage, frequency etc.) are
outside the set range resulting in sudden stoppage of
WTG, which is undesirable. In case of any defects
caused due to Grid Failure, the time taken to rectify
such defect would be considered as Exclusion
Events. The costs for rectifying a" such defects shall

18
be mutually discussed between the parties. O&M
Contractor has to demonstrate and prove that the
sudden stoppage or tripping has been caused by
external grid conditions.

11) In case of failure of the Transformer in the Pooling


Substation, a period of 60 (sixty)daysfrom the date of
occurrence of the transformer failure.

12) Unsafe Working Conditions

13) WTGCable Unbundling

It isclarified that any RoWissue,leading to a situation where there


can be restricted access to the Wind Farm, shall not be an
ExclusionEvent and would be counted under Time Not Available,
unlesscaused by the Owner.

TNA = Time Not Available means the number of hoursin which the
WTG is not operative due to reasons other than covered in
ExclusionEvents,Grid Failure and Force Majeure. Except that the
specific hours during which a WTGisnot operating or not ready to
operate due to a fault within the Equipment covered by the
Resource Availability Warranty will not be allocated as an
exclusion to the availability simply because of a coincidence of
such conditions unlessit is proven that the exclusion provided for
in this Contract was the cause of the fault within the equipment
covered by the availability warranty.

For the purpose of calculation of Resource Availability during the


Warranty Period, subject to the exclusions provided in this
Contract, a WTGwill be considered to be de-rated if it isobserved
to be operating in a de-rated manner within the operating
parameters of the WTGs,such that its power capacity isreduced
from its expected power capacity (as per Power Curve), whether
caused by a defect leading to de-rating for more than 72 hours,
or through manual intervention by the Contractor leading to
de-rating for more than 24 hours, or through protective measures
employed by the WTG control system leading to de-rating for
more than 72 hours, and whether detected by analysis of SCADA
data or control system parameter settings.

Such a WTG will not be allowed to operate in a de-rated


condition for more than 7 (seven) calendar days, unlessotherwise
mutually agreed by the Parties, During this period, Contractor
must take corrective measures to return the WTG to normal
operation. Additionally, during this period, the measured
availability of the affected WTGwill be reported for the pur - ij-

compared to the nominal capacity of the WTG,regardless of the
prevailing wind conditions, as per the following formula:

Pro-rated available hours of de-rated turbine = (de-rated


capacity/rated capacity as per Power Curve) X available hours

11.2. Generation Bonus

Gamesa will receive a Generation Bonus as a share of the


additional revenue generated as a direct result of the Resource
Availability being equal to or greater than 97.25%. For the
purpose of the Generation Bonus calculation, the Resource
Availability will be calculated as follows:

the yearly Resource Availability greater than
97.25%,
>97.5% 50%of the generation revenue arising because of
the yearly Resource Availability greater than
97.5%,

For eg: If Resource Availability in a year is 98.5% and the units


generated by 50 WTGs are 135 Mn units and PPA rate is INR
5.00/kWh, then

Generation Bonus = (15%* (97.5%- 97.25%)* 135 * 5.00) + (50%*


(98.5%- 97.5%)* 135 * 5.00) = INR3.628 Mn.

The generation bonus shall be computed on an annual basis and


becomes payable on completion of the first year from the
Commissioning Date of the Wind Farm and shall be paid to the

',
Contractor against claim to be raised by the Contractor and
mutually agreed with the Owner.

.11.3. stabilization:

The Contractor to stabilize the WTGwithin 30 (thirty) days from the
COD of the respective WTG ("Stabilization Period") and the
guaranteed Resource Availability during this period would be
90%.

At the end of the 30 (thirty) days period, the Contractor may


propose to extend the Stabilization Period in order to make
adjustments required to protect the long term reliability of the
Project. In such case, the parties will meet to discuss and agree
on a potential extension of the Stabilization Period ("Extended
Stabilization Period") and on the guaranteed Resource
Availability during the Extended Stabilization Period. The Owner
will have the right to reject such proposal if not reasonably
justified, in which case, the guarantee (Resource Availability,
Reactive Power, Transmission& Machine Availability) as given in
Clause 11.1, 11.5, 11.6 and 11.7 shall become in force.

It is clarified that stabilization does not include failure to complete


the Project, or part thereof, and will not exempt the Contractor
from Delay Liquidated Damages in case of delay in Project COD
or commissioning of individual WTGs.

11.4. Availability Liquidated Damages

(a) If the Contractor fails to meet the average Resource


Availability Warranty as per Clause 11 the Contractor shall
be liable to pay to the Owner the availability liquidated
damages ("Availability Liquidated Damages").

(b) The Owner shall document the annual income generated


by the WTG(s) during the particular year. The Availability
Liquidated Damages shall be calculated as stated below.

(The numbers used in the following example are solely for the
purpose of illustration)

Energy generation documented by the Contractor

and verified by Company: 100,000Units

Resource Availability documented by Contractor: 92%

Resource Availability warranted by Contractor: 97%

Resource Availability shortfall: 5%

Lossof generation due to lower Resource Availability => 1,00,000/


92%X 5%= 5,435 units

21
Liquidated damages will be: 5,435 x INR5.00/- (selling rate to SEB)
= INR27175/-
Total Liquidated damages payable is INR27,175/-

(c) The Parties agree and acknowledge that liability of the


Contractor on account of Availability Liquidated Damages
under this Contract or otherwise shall be limited to a
maximum of 50% (fifty percent) of the O&M Price for the
Owner's WTGsfor the relevant year excluding taxes duties
and levies.

(d) The liability for the Free O&M Period shall be calculated on
the basis of the O&M Price for the third year.

11.5. Reactive Power Warranty

(a) The Contractor warrants that the maximum chargeable


Reactive Power drawn cumulatively by the Wind Farm will
not exceed 4% of the total power generation by all WTGs
on yearly basis in the Wind Farm at the metering point.

In the event that the annual Reactive Power drawn for the
Wind Farm exceeds 4% of total units generated by down
the Wind Farm per annum ("Reactive Power Warranty"),
and the Owner isrequired to pay penalty or any charges to
any relevant government authority for the excess Reactive
Power drawl over 4%,then the Contractor will compensate
the Owner for such excess reactive power drawn at the
prevailing rate charged by SEB / DISCOM, at actuals
("Reactive Power Liquidated Damages"), subject to
maximum cap of 10%of annual O&M expenses

Reactive Power (RKVAH)will mean the VAR (reactive volt


ampere) component of the product of voltage and
current, which the Wind Farm will provide to or absorb from
the State Grid /Distribution Systemand which ismeasured in
MVAR.

Percentage of chargeable KVArh (per year) = Chargeable KVArh


(units) / KWh Export(units)

(The numbers used in the following example are solely for the
purpose of illustration)

by Contractor

KVArh guaranteed = 4% of 2000000 units = 80000

Excess KVArh Import 2%

IExcess KVArh Import Units~ 120000- 80000 = 40000 Units

Liquidated damages will be: 40000 units x INR 0.25/- (Penalty


imposed by STUsay INR 0.25 per KVArh) = INR.10000.00

11.6. Transmission Losses:

During the currency of O&M Contract, the Contractor shall


ensure that the loss of units between the individual WTGsand the
Point of Billing is not more than the transmission losses calculated
based on the as-built evacuation system between the WTGs and
the Point of Billing at Project COD (liAs-Built Transmission Loss")plus
0.5% of generation per annum for all the WTG's put together for
the Project or actual transmission loss at the end of the 1st year
operation and maintenance of the Wind Farm, whichever is
lowerl'Tronsrnission Loss").

In the event of loss of units exceeds the Transmission Lossthen the


Contractor shall compensate the Owner for an amount equal to
the lost units calculated at the prevailing PPA tariff rate, interest
cost on GBI revenue delayed at the rate of 13% per annum
(calculated on the basis of difference of the Net Present Value of
the GBI revenue expected to be received now and expected to
be received if no generation was lost) above the Transmission
Loss,at actuals, subject to a maximum of 25% of the annual O&M
Price.

For eg: if the Transmission Lossis calculated to be 3% at the end of


first year and the Transmission Loss for any year from the
beginning of second year is calculated to be 4% and the
metered generation from the Wind Farm for nth year is 15 Crore
units, then the Transmission Loss Liquidated Damages for the nth
year will be:

Additional Transmission Loss * Annual generation

23
year/( 1-transmission loss for the nth year) * PPA tariff

(4%-3%) * 15,00,00,000/( 1-4%) * 5.00 = INR 78,12,500/-

11.7. Machine Availability

The Contractor shall ensure half yearly Machine Availability of 95%


is maintained during High Wind/Low Wind Season.

The formula for Machine Availability is as follows:

"Machine Availability" shall mean the ratio of actual number of


annual hours for which the WTG, is in a state of complete
readiness to generate power which is metered at the billing point
and subject to the Grid availability and all other parameters
referred hereunder, to the total number of available hours.
Internal Grid means the evacuation equipment between WTGs
and the pooling substation; and the External Grid means the
evacuation equipment beyond metering point, including the
pooling substation. Machine Availability shall be calculated as
follows.
