adverse effect on the critical path of Contractors Work; it being further expressly understood
that a Crane Full Wind Day may only occur on a day when: (a) at least ten (10) hours of Turbine
erection work is scheduled to be performed utilizing a particular Main Erection Crane; (b)
sustained wind speeds at the levels defined in the table below or greater, as measured by the
anemometer at the top of the crane boom performing the affected activity, are being experienced
at the applicable Job Site; and (c) such winds actually prevent Contractor from performing
Turbine erection activities at the Job Site utilizing the applicable Main Erection Crane for at
least an aggregate of seven and one half (7-1/2) hours within such scheduled ten (10)- hour
workday. A Crane Half Wind Day has the identical definition as set forth in the immediately
preceding sentence, except only that, with respect to clause (c) of the immediately preceding
sentence, such winds actually prevent Contractor from performing Turbine erection activities at
the Job Site utilizing the applicable Main Erection Crane for at least an aggregate of five (5)
hours within such scheduled ten (10)-hour workday. The foregoing definitions of Crane Full
Wind Day and Crane Half Wind Day are further subject to the conditions that (i) Contractor
has provided to Owner at least twenty-four (24) hours notice of the scheduled work day hours,
(ii) Contractor provides to Owner a Wind Delay Reporting Form, substantially in the form of
Exhibit GG, on the Business Day following the applicable Crane Full Wind Day or Crane Half
Wind Day, and (iii) if, for whatever reason, Contractor is at any time utilizing more than two (2)
Main Erection Cranes in the Work, no Crane Full Wind Day or Crane Half Wind Day will be
deemed to occur with respect to more than two (2) cranes on any particular calendar day and no
Crane Full Wind Day or Crane Half Wind Day will occur as long as two (2) Main Erection
Cranes are not experiencing the above conditions, and further, as long as one (1) Main Erection
Crane is not experiencing the above conditions no more than one (1) Crane Full Wind Day or
Crane Half Wind Day will be counted no matter how many other Main Erection Cranes are
experiencing such conditions. Notwithstanding the Contractors submission of a Wind Delay
Reporting Form, a Crane Full Wind Day or Crane Half Wind Day will be deemed to have
occurred only upon the Owners review of such Wind Delay Reporting Form and any related
data that the Owner deems appropriate, and Owner has provided written concurrence to the
Contractor that a Crane Full Wind Day or Crane Half Wind Day has occurred. Work scheduled
for Saturdays or Sundays that may be delayed by wind shall nonetheless not be eligible to qualify
as either a Crane Full Wind Day or a Crane Half Wind Day. For the avoidance of doubt, the
following chart is not intended to imply that the described activity may be safely performed in all
weather conditions when the applicable wind speeds are less than the below stated speeds, it
being understood that Contractor shall at all times be responsible for the safe performance of the
Work.

any time during the performance of the Work becomes aware that any
part of the Work does not comply with requirements of this Agreement,
Owner may reject it by notification to Contractor. On being so notified,
Contractor must (despite any previous approval of or payment for the
portion of the Work in question by Owner) re-do or replace the same, at
Contractor's own cost and within such period as Owner directs, so that

Turbine Foundation Group Completion of a Turbine Foundation Group, Substation
Completion, Collection System Circuit Completion of a Collection System Circuit, Turbine
Mechanical Completion of a Turbine, Operations and Maintenance Building Completion (if
Owner elects the option for an Operations and Maintenance Building as provided in Exhibit A),
and Substantial Completion shall each be deemed to have occurred only when the Owner signs
the applicable Completion Certificate (and only as of the date of the Owners signing of such
Completion Certificate) signifying the Owners agreement that the applicable requirements for
the above have occurred. If Owner disputes Contractors determination that all of the applicable
Work identified in any Completion Certificate has been completed and/or that Turbine
Foundation Group Completion of a Turbine Foundation Group, Substation Completion,
Collection System Circuit Completion of a Collection System Circuit, Turbine Mechanical
Completion of a Turbine, Operations and Maintenance Building Completion, or Substantial
Completion, as applicable, has been achieved, Owner shall provide a written notice to Contractor
stating the reasons why Owner believes that the identified Work has not been completed within
five (5) Business Days of the receipt of the applicable Completion Certificate. Contractor shall,
at no expense to Owner, take all actions necessary to correct the deficiencies identified by Owner

37
and shall re-deliver the Completion Certificate once all such corrective actions are taken. Owner
shall have three (3) Business Days after such redelivery of the Completion Certificate by
Contractor to advise Contractor, in writing, of any remaining deficiencies to be corrected by
Contractor. Contractor shall continue to take corrective actions within the above specified time
frame and reapply to the Owner for approval of its Completion Certificate until the Owner is
satisfied that the applicable Work covered by the Completion Certificate has been completed and
the Owner signs the applicable Completion Certificate.

Section 6.9 Punch List. It is understood that upon achievement of


Substantial Completion, there may be non-material items of Work remaining to be performed or
corrected which do not affect the normal, safe and reliable operation of the Project or any part of
the Project. Contractor shall, prior to the Substantial Completion Date, create the Punch List
which shall be subject to the Owners review and written approval. To the extent not completed
as part Substantial Completion, the Punch List shall include full restoration of the Project Site
with final road and pad configurations, all permanent gates and cattle guards installed, all
temporary facilities removed, all disturbed areas re-vegetated, all permanent storm water
management facilities complete, and all of Contractors (including Subcontractors and
Suppliers) supplies, personnel, and Hazardous Materials brought onto the Project Site (and not
required for the operations, maintenance and service of the Project) and trash have been removed
from the Project Site. All items on the Punch List shall be completed by Contractor by the Final
Completion Date. The Contractor shall not be entitled to the Punch List Holdback Amount until
Final Completion (as defined in Article 7) including completion of all Punch List items and
delivery of all As-Built Drawings. Contractor shall complete the Punch List within sixty (60)
days after Substantial Completion. If Contractor has not completed the Punch List items within
sixty (60) days after the Substantial Completion Date, then Owner shall have the right, at its
option, and without limiting the Contractors obligations, to complete the remaining Punch List
items and all costs thereof shall be borne by Contractor, including without limiting the
Contractors liability therefor, that Owner may withhold funds to cover such amounts from the
Punch List Holdback Amount.

ARTICLE 7

ARTICLE 8
DELAYS, DELAY LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AND OBLIGATIONS TO MITIGATE
DAMAGES

Section 8.1 Guaranteed Completion Dates. Contractor shall perform


the Work such that (i) Turbine Foundation Group Completion for each Turbine Foundation
Group shall occur not later than the Guaranteed Turbine Foundation Group Completion Date for
such Turbine Foundation Group; (ii) Substation Completion shall occur not later than the
Guaranteed Substation Completion Date; (iii) Collection System Circuit Completion for each
Collection System Circuit shall occur not later than the Guaranteed Collection System Circuit
Completion Date for such Collection System Circuit; (iv) Turbine Mechanical Completion for
each Turbine shall occur not later than the Guaranteed Turbine Mechanical Completion Date for
such Turbine; and (v) Operations and Maintenance Building Completion shall occur not later
than the Guaranteed Operations and Maintenance Building Completion Date (applicable only if
Owner elects the option for an Operations and Maintenance Building as provided in Exhibit A).
Unless otherwise excused due to Force Majeure Event, or, in the case of Turbine Mechanical
Completion, a Crane Wind Day Extension, in the event that Contractor does not achieve Turbine
Foundation Group Completion for a Turbine Foundation Group by the applicable Guaranteed
Turbine Foundation Group Completion Date, Substation Completion by the Guaranteed
Substation Completion Date, Collection System Circuit Completion for a Collection System
Circuit by the applicable Guaranteed Collection System Circuit Completion Date, Turbine
Mechanical Completion for a Turbine by the applicable Guaranteed Turbine Mechanical
Completion Date, or Operations and Maintenance Building Completion by the Guaranteed
Operations and Maintenance Building Completion Date (if Owner elects the option for an
Operations and Maintenance Building as provided in Exhibit A), Contractor shall be liable for
Delay Liquidated Damages pursuant to Section 8.2.

Section 8.2 Delay Liquidated Damages.

(a) Turbine Foundation Group Completion. For each day that Turbine Foundation
Group Completion of any Turbine Foundation Group occurs after the Guaranteed
Turbine Foundation Group Completion Date applicable to that Turbine
Foundation Group, irrespective of the cause, excluding delays excused due to
Force Majeure Event, until Turbine Foundation Group Completion of that Turbine
Foundation Group occurs, Contractor shall be liable for, and shall pay to Owner,
liquidated damages (Turbine Foundation Group Completion Delay Damages)
equal to per day.

In addition to the liquidated damages set forth above in this Subsection 8.2(a), if
and to the extent that any failure to achieve any Guaranteed Turbine Foundation
Group Completion Date causes the Turbine Supplier to be unable to make any
delivery and/or delays Turbine Supplier in making any delivery to any Job Site at
the time such delivery is to be made under the Turbine Supply Agreement (any
determinations of times that such delivery are to be made and any determinations
of inability to make delivery or of delay in delivery being as determined solely
between Turbine Supplier and Owner), Contractor will be responsible for all costs
and expenses of any remedial measures taken to address such inability to deliver

39
or delay in delivery. Such remedial measures will be as determined by Owner in
any such instance and may include: (i) diverting/transporting the delivery to a
storage or laydown location (in which case the costs and expenses to be borne by
Contractor will include costs and expenses of all necessary preparation of the
laydown or storage location in accordance with Turbine Suppliers specifications,
offloading of the applicable material or equipment at such laydown or storage
location, securing and maintaining the material or equipment at such storage
location in accordance with Turbine Suppliers specifications, and reloading and
transporting the applicable material or equipment to and unloading such material
or equipment at the Job Site after the applicable Turbine Foundation Completions
have in fact occurred); and/or (ii) incurrence attributable to said delay by the
Owner of demurrage and/or other delay charges to Turbine Supplier (in which
case Contractor shall reimburse Owner for all such charges).

(b) Substation Completion Delay Damages. For each day that Substation Completion
occurs after the Guaranteed Substation Completion Date, irrespective of the
cause, excluding delays excused due to Force Majeure Event, until Substation
Completion occurs, Contractor shall be liable for, and shall pay to Owner,
liquidated damages (Substation Completion Delay Damages) equal to
) per day.

(c) Collection System Circuit Completion Delay Liquidated Damages. For each day
that Collection System Circuit Completion of a Collection System Circuit occurs
after the Guaranteed Collection System Circuit Completion Date of that
Collection System Circuit, irrespective of the cause, excluding delays excused due
to Force Majeure Event, until Collection System Circuit Completion of that
Collection System Circuit occurs, Contractor shall be liable for, and shall pay to
Owner, liquidated damages (Collection System Circuit Completion Delay
Damages) equal to per day.

(d) Turbine Mechanical Completion Delay Liquidated Damages. For each day that
Turbine Mechanical Completion of a Turbine occurs after the Guaranteed Turbine
Mechanical Completion Date of that Turbine, irrespective of the cause, excluding
delays excused due to Force Majeure Event or a Crane Wind Day Extension, until
Turbine Mechanical Completion of that Turbine occurs, Contractor shall be liable
for, and shall pay to Owner, liquidated damages (Turbine Mechanical
Completion Delay Damages) equal to
per Turbine per day.

For each Turbine for which Turbine Mechanical Completion has not been
achieved by the PTC Qualifying Minus Two Months Date, Contractor shall, in
addition to the per-day liquidated damages specified above (which shall continue
to accrue until Turbine Mechanical Completion is achieved), pay to Owner on the
day following the PTC Qualifying Date, additional liquidated damages in the
amount of $ 0. Notwithstanding the above, if Contractor, for a particular
Turbine, fails to achieve Turbine Mechanical Completion by the PTC Qualifying
Minus Two Months Date, but does achieve Turbine Mechanical Completion

40
before the PTC Qualifying Date and the Turbine is actually placed in service in
order to be considered a qualified facility that is eligible for the credits provided
for in 26 U.S.C. 45 by the PTC Qualifying Date, Contractor will not be liable
for the additional liquidated damages of provided for above in this
paragraph. Contractor understands, however, that if Contractor achieves Turbine
Mechanical Completion for a Turbine after the PTC Qualifying Minus Two
Months Date but before the PTC Qualifying Date, Owner in no manner represents
or guarantees that the Turbine will be so placed in service by the PTC Qualifying
Date.

(e) Operations and Maintenance Building Completion Delay Damages. Applicable


only if Owner elects the option for an Operations and Maintenance Building as
provided in Exhibit A: For each day that Operations and Maintenance Building
Completion occurs after the Guaranteed Operations and Maintenance Building
Completion Date, irrespective of the cause, excluding delays excused due to Force
Majeure Event, until Operations and Maintenance Building Completion occurs,
Contractor shall be liable for, and shall pay to Owner, liquidated damages
(Operations and Maintenance Building Completion Delay Damages) equal to
per day.

(f) Late Completion Notice. Owner shall provide a written notice to Contractor of
such late completion (a Late Completion Notice) and any Delay Liquidated
Damages due pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 8.2. Within
thirty (30) days following the receipt of any Late Completion Notice, Contractor
shall pay the Delay Liquidated Damages set forth therein.

(g) Application of Each Delay Liquidated Damage Provision. Liquidated damages as


provided in each of the preceding subsections of this Section 8.2 shall apply
separately and independently of the Liquidated Damages under every other such
subsection.

Section 8.3 Delay Liquidated Damages Not a Penalty. The Parties acknowledge and
agree that because of the unique nature of the Work and the unavailability of a substitute
facility, it is difficult or impossible to determine with precision the amount of damages
that would or might be incurred by Owner as a result of Contractors failure to achieve
Guaranteed Completion Dates. It is understood and agreed by the Parties that (a) Owner
shall be damaged by the failure of Contractor to meet such obligation, (b) it would be
impracticable or extremely difficult to fix the actual damages resulting therefrom, (c) any
sums which would be payable under this ARTICLE 8 are in the nature of liquidated
damages, and not a penalty, and are fair and reasonable under the circumstances and (d)
each payment represents a reasonable estimate of fair compensation for the losses that
may reasonably be anticipated from such failure. The payment by Contractor to Owner of
Delay Liquidated Damages under Section 8.2 is (other than as provided in Subsection
8.2(a)) Owners sole remedy for Contractors delay in meeting Guaranteed Completion
Dates, except that Contractors delay remains subject to Owners other rights under this

41
Agreement, including Owners right to terminate this Agreement for a Contractor Default
as described in ARTICLE 14 and to exercise the remedies set forth in ARTICLE 14.

ARTICLE 9
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Section 9.1 Consequential Damages. Other than with respect to


Contractors obligation to pay Delay Liquidated Damages or other amounts for which the
Contractor is expressly liable hereunder, in no event shall either Party be liable to the other Party
for any exemplary, indirect or consequential losses or damages, including loss of use, lost
production, cost of capital, loss of goodwill, lost revenues, loss of profits or loss of contracts,
even if such Party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Section 9.2 Limitation of Liquidated Damages. Contractors maximum liability for


the payment of liquidated damages under Article 8 shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the
Contract Price, as same may be adjusted pursuant to Change Orders or any other provisions of
this Agreement.

Section 9.3 Limitation of Liability. Contractors maximum aggregate liability to


Owner under this Agreement, whether arising in breach of contract, tort, strict liability, or under
any other legal theory, shall not exceed the Contract Price, as same may be adjusted pursuant to
Change Orders or any other provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that such total
liability limitation shall not apply to, and no credit shall be applied against, such total liability
limitation for any claims, losses, costs, expenses, damages, liabilities or other amounts arising
out of: (a) Contractors indemnity obligations under this Agreement (including all obligations
under Article 15); (b) Contractors obligations under Article 11; (c) any event, occurrence or
other matter covered or should be covered by policies or any proceeds of insurance required to
be obtained and maintained by Contractor or any Subcontractor or Supplier under Article 13 and
Exhibit S; or (d) fraudulent or unlawful acts or omissions or gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Contractor or any Subcontractor or Supplier.

ARTICLE 10
FORCE MAJEURE

Section 10.1 Force Majeure. Any obligation of either Party under this
Agreement shall be excused to the extent, but only to the extent, that the applicable Party is
unable to perform as the result of Force Majeure. Each Party shall use all reasonable efforts to
cure, minimize, mitigate or remedy the effects of the Force Majeure. As used in this agreement,
Force Majeure means any condition, event, or circumstance, including by way of example,

i. war (whether declared or undeclared), sabotage, civil strife, acts of terrorism;

ii. earthquake, natural disasters; fire; landslides; flood;

iii. hurricanes; tornados, tsunamis; perils of sea; volcanic activity; epidemic;

42
iv. quarantine; blockades;

v. seasonal or weather-based road restrictions affecting roads in Michigan, during


periods when Turbines or components of Turbines are scheduled to be delivered
by Turbine Supplier to Job Sites;

vi. ruling; decree; or injunction of a Governmental Authority;

vii. Acts of God; or

viii. accidents in shipping or transportation (but solely to the extent such accident
would itself be a Force Majeure event if the Person shipping or transporting were
a party hereto);

but only if, and to the extent: (i) such condition, event, or circumstance is not within the
reasonable control of the Party affected; (ii) such condition, event or circumstance, despite the
exercise of reasonable diligence, could not be prevented, avoided or removed by such Party; (iii)
such condition, event, or circumstance has a material adverse effect on the ability of the affected
Party to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement; (iv) the affected Party has taken all
reasonable precautions, due care and reasonable alternative measures in order to avoid the effect
of such condition, event, or circumstance on the affected Partys ability to fulfill its obligations
under this Agreement and to mitigate the consequences thereof; and (v) such condition, event, or
circumstance is not the result of any failure of such Party to perform any of its obligations under
this Agreement. Furthermore, in no event shall Force Majeure include the following events,
conditions or circumstances:

(a) oversold market conditions or other similar circumstances;

(b) shortages of supervisors, labor, or factory/manufacturing capacity except if such


shortages are directly due to the occurrence of an independent condition, event, or circumstance
described in and meeting the conditions of the first full paragraph of this definition;

(c) late performance as a consequence of any violation of Applicable Law or


decisions of a Governmental Authority related to the conduct of Contractors or any
Subcontractors or Suppliers business, including insolvency or any delay related to the
economic, commercial or labor circumstances of Contractor, any Subcontractor or Supplier or
other business conducted by Contractor or any Subcontractor or Supplier;

(d) breakdown, loss, or damage to or theft of equipment except where such


breakdown, loss, or damage is directly due to the occurrence of an independent condition, event,
or circumstance described in and meeting the conditions of the first full paragraph of this
definition;

(e) failure of a Party to pay amounts due and owing under this Agreement;

(f) increased costs of the Work, general economic or industry conditions

(g) strikes or labor disturbances;

43
(h) a Partys financial inability to perform under this Agreement; or

(i) wind conditions, it being expressly understood that any other claims related to
wind conditions are addressed in the provisions of Section 10.2 below dealing with Crane Wind
Days

(j) any other weather conditions except as expressly provided in Section 10.1 above;

Force Majeure may include the failure of a Subcontractor or Supplier to furnish labor,
services, materials or equipment in accordance with its contractual obligations but solely if to the
extent such failure would itself be a Force Majeure as defined hereinabove if such Subcontractor
or Supplier furnishing such labor, service, materials or equipment were a party hereto.

If either Partys ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement is affected by an
event of Force Majeure event, such Party (the Affected Party) shall provide written notice to
the other Party within three (3) Business Days after it became aware of the occurrence of such
event, but in no event later than thirty (30) Days after the occurrence of such event. Such notice
will, to the extent practicable, specify the nature of the occurrence, the reasons why adjustments
to this Agreement should be granted, and the projected length of the delay occasioned by reason
of such Force Majeure event. Within ten (10) Days after submission of such notice, the Affected
Party shall provide a more detailed notice of the impact of the occurrence, and a more detailed
estimate of the effect on this Agreement. Such notice will be updated as soon as possible after
additional information becomes available to the Affected Party, but in no event less frequently
than weekly. If Contractor fails to provide written notice of an event of Force Majeure within
the time specified in this paragraph, Contractors entitlement to adjustments to the Guaranteed
Completion Dates, or other Contractor guaranteed dates herein, shall be reduced to the extent
Owner has suffered any material adverse impact as a result of Contractors delay in providing
such notice.

Under no circumstances shall Contractor be entitled to any additional compensation or


damages of any kind or character as a result of the occurrence of an event of Force Majeure.

The suspension of or impact on performance due to an event of Force Majeure shall be of


no greater scope and no longer duration than is required by such event. For purposes of clarity,
no obligations or liability under this Agreement that arose before the occurrence of the Force
Majeure event will be excused (except to the extent adversely impacted by the Force Majeure
event) as a result of the occurrence of such event of Force Majeure for any period prior to the
occurrence of such event of Force Majeure. The Affected Party shall use all reasonable efforts
to:

(a) mitigate the duration of any suspension or delay in, or other impact to the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement;

(b) to continue to perform its obligations hereunder; and

(c) to remedy its inability to perform, as applicable.

Provided that Contractor has strictly complied with the requirements of this Section 10.1,

44
if an event of Force Majeure occurs, the affected Guaranteed Completion Dates shall be adjusted
by the period of time, if any, that Contractor is actually and demonstrably delayed in the
performance of its critical path activities as a result of the impact of the event of Force Majeure.

Section 10.2 Crane Wind Days. Contractor shall be entitled to


neither any extension of any Guaranteed Completion Dates nor any increase in the Contract Price
as a result of any Crane Wind Days other than as expressly provided below in this Section 10.2.

If and when the total number of Crane Full Wind Days experienced by Contractor during
the performance of the Work exceeds twenty-four (24) (and, for purposes of computation of such
twenty-four (24) Crane Full Wind Days, any two (2) Crane Half Wind Days shall be considered
to equal one (1) Crane Full Wind Day), Contractor shall be entitled to the following:

(i) for each Crane Full Wind Day or each two (2) Crane Half Wind Days in excess of
the aforesaid quantity of twenty-four (24) (each Crane Full Wind Day or each two
(2) Crane Half Wind Days in excess of said quantity of twenty-four (24) being
sometimes referred to herein as a Compensable Crane Wind Day), a day-for-
day extension of the Guaranteed Turbine Mechanical Completion Date for each
Turbine the erection of which is delayed by that Compensable Crane Wind Day
(a Crane Wind Day Extension); and

(ii) an increase in the Contract Price of for each


such Compensable Crane Wind Day.

In the event that the total number of Compensable Crane Wind Days that occur during
the Work does not come out to an even number of Crane Full Wind Days, i.e., if there is a Crane
Half Wind Day that is not matched by another Crane Half Wind Day, then there will be no Crane
Wind Day Extension of any Guaranteed Turbine Mechanical Completion Date pursuant to the
preceding clause (i) for the extra Crane Half Wind Day, however, the Contract Price will be
increased by one-half (1/2) of the dollar amount specified in the preceding clause (ii), i.e., by
for that extra Crane Half Wind Day.

Contractor shall use all commercially reasonable efforts, including working weekends
and nights whenever practicable, to avoid and/or make up for delays caused by Crane Wind Days
so as to avoid and/or minimize the incurrence and number of Compensable Crane Wind Days. It
is understood, however, that in order to minimize or avoid causing problems with Owners
relations with Land Owners or Occupants, Contractor must obtain Owners prior approval for
any night work.

Section 10.3 Geotechnical Conditions. Contractor covenants, represents and warrants


that it has inspected and reviewed the Geotechnical Studies, which include studies related to the
surface and subsurface conditions at the Project Site, and acknowledges and agrees that all such
surface or subsurface conditions existing at the Project Site shall not be Force Majeure or a Force
Majeure Event that entitles Contractor to any relief of its obligations under this Agreement. All
information provided by the Owner to Contractor relating to ground conditions is a description of
findings at discrete locations. Owner shall not accept any responsibility for any interpretation
placed upon this information, and except as set forth below in this Section 10.3, the Contractor

45
may not rely upon or make any claim against Owner by reason thereof. Contractor shall be fully
responsible for determining the ground conditions, and for properly designing and constructing
the Turbine Foundations, roads, hard standings and other structures accordingly. Contractor is
required to complete a Job Site-specific geotechnical investigation for each Turbine location
(including any hard-stand area next to the actual Turbine location to be used by Contractor for its
crane during construction and including the route of access road to be constructed by Contractor
running to the Turbine locations), and this shall be the full responsibility of Contractor. If a Job
Site-specific geotechnical investigation or other observation of actual subsurface conditions at a
Turbine location (including associated crane hard-stand area and access road route as aforesaid)
in the course of the Work discloses subsurface conditions differing materially from those
indicated in, or reasonably inferable from, the Geotechnical Studies that could not have been
observed through a reasonable inspection of such Job Site prior to the Effective Date, and such
conditions actually result in a material increase or decrease in Contractors cost of, or the time
required for performance of, the Work at such Job Site (including associated crane hard-stand
area and access road route), then Contractor or Owner as the case may be shall be entitled to a
Change Order pursuant to ARTICLE 5 to take into account the consequences of such differing
subsurface conditions on the Construction Schedule, the Guaranteed Completion Dates, and/or
on the Contract Price, as applicable. It is expressly understood, however, that any adjustment to
the Contract Price pursuant to such a Change Order will take into account added or reduced labor
and material cost only and will not include any adjustment for any addition or reduction in the
use of Contractor's construction equipment.

ARTICLE 11
WARRANTIES

Section 11.1 Warranty of Title. The Contractor warrants that title to all
materials, parts, supplies and equipment furnished in the Work hereunder, and otherwise the
Balance of Plant, shall be good; free and clear of all liens, charges, claims and encumbrances of
any nature. This warranty of title shall continue without limitation as to time.

If any failure to comply with such warranty of title appears at any time, the Contractor
shall be liable and shall have the obligation to defend the title and sale hereby made of said
materials, parts, supplies and equipment against all and every person or persons whomsoever and
shall indemnify and save the Owner harmless from and against all losses, damages, costs,
expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees), claims and liabilities of every kind and nature
arising out of such failure to comply with the warranty.

Section 11.2 Warranty.

(a) Any performance tests required shall be conducted as specified in this


Agreement. Should any items fail to perform as guaranteed in this
Agreement, Contractor shall promptly make such changes to the items
as are necessary to meet the performance guarantees, and such

Contractor.

46
(b) Contractor hereby warrants that the Balance of Plant and the Work,
including without limitation all of the design, goods, services, materials
and equipment supplied by Contractor and its Subcontractors and
Suppliers in the Work and all of the workmanship of fabricating,
processing, modifying, assembling, erecting, constructing and/or
installing both Contractor- (or Subcontractor- or Supplier-) supplied
materials and equipment and Owner-supplied materials and equipment:
(i) shall be new and unused (except as required for commissioning and
placement into initial operation) and undamaged on the Substantial
Completion Date; (ii) shall conform to all of the requirements of this
Agreement; and (iii) shall be free from defects in design, materials,
construction, installation and workmanship for a period of two (2) years
from and after the Final Completion Date (the "Warranty Period").

(c) Without limiting any other remedy available to the Owner, if any such
nonconformance or defect appears during the Warranty Period, the
Contractor shall make any and all repairs or replacements necessary to
remedy same (including performing all work incidental to such
corrective work, such as but not limited to all associated removal,
transportation, disposal and/or reinstallation of equipment or materials)
at its sole expense and within a reasonable time after notification by the
Owner. The Owner shall provide written notification to the Contractor
of any defect using the warranty claim form given in Exhibit HH. The
Contractor shall obtain Owners written approval of the Contractors
intended schedule for performing such corrective work prior to
commencing such work at the Job Site or other applicable facility
locations; and the Contractor shall perform any such work so as not to
disrupt or inconvenience the normal activities of the Owner or others.
The Contractor shall notify Owner upon completion of any corrective
work to allow for the Owner to inspect such work. The Contractor's
warranty set forth in Subsection 11.2(b) shall also apply to all corrective
work performed pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph,
with the two (2) year term of such warranty for the corrective warranty
work to commence on the Owner's final acceptance of such corrective
work.

(d) If the Contractor refuses, neglects, or is otherwise unable to take prompt


action to correct any non-conformances or defects as provided in the
immediately preceding paragraph, the Owner shall (without limiting any
other rights or remedies it may have hereunder or at law or equity) have
the right to perform or to hire third parties to perform the corrective
work (including all work incidental to such corrective work, such as but
not limited to all associated removal, transportation, disposal and/or
reinstallation of equipment or materials), and the Contractor shall
reimburse Owner upon demand for all cost and expense of all such work
plus ten percent (10%) to cover the Owners administrative costs. The
Contractor's warranty set forth in Subsection 11.2(b) shall also apply to

47
all corrective work performed by the Owner itself or a third party hired
by the Owner pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph,
with the term of the two (2) year warranty for the corrective work to
commence on the Owner's final acceptance of such corrective work.

(e) In the event that any corrective work invalidates warranties of


Subcontractors or an Owner Contractor, the Contractor shall obtain new
warranties satisfactory to the Owner at the Contractors expense.

(f) In addition to the Contractor's own preceding warranties, the Contractor


shall obtain from its Subcontractors warranties satisfactory to the Owner
regarding the portion of the Work performed and/or supplied by them.
Such warranties shall be for the benefit of the Owner and the
Contractor, and shall be enforceable by the Owner, the Contractor, or
both, at the option of the Owner.

ARTICLE 12
TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS

Section 12.1 Passage of Title.

Title to all Contractor (or- Subcontractor- or Supplier-) supplied materials, parts, supplies

(a) the date such materials, parts, supplies and equipment have been physically incorporated
into said structures, buildings, fixtures, facilities and/or other improvements; or

(b) the date payment for such materials, parts, supplies and equipment is made by the Owner
to the Contractor (i.e., the Owner has paid a Contractor invoice that covers the Work
associated with such materials, parts, supplies and equipment);

but in any event not later than the date of Final Completion. Said transfer of title shall in no way
limit or otherwise affect any of the Owners rights and remedies as set forth elsewhere in
Contract or at law or equity. Notwithstanding the transfer of title, the Contractors responsibility
for loss or damage to such equipment and materials shall be determined in accordance with
Section 12.2 hereof.

Work; or

(b) paid for by the Owner;

shall remain the property of the Contractor. The Contractor must, unless otherwise agreed in
writing, remove any such materials, parts, supplies and equipment from the Project Site, not later

equipment in question are materials, parts, supplies and equipment that this Agreement
specifically requires the Contractor to provide to the Owner, including a situation where such
materials, parts, supplies and equipment is part of particular quantity that this Agreement
provides that the Contractor must supply, any of such equipment or material which remains
unused upon Final Completion will become and remain the property of the Owner.

Section 12.2 Risk of Loss.

The Contractor shall retain the risk of loss to the BOP and all materials, parts, supplies
and equipment incorporated or intended to be incorporated into the BOP (including, in addition
to all Contractor-, Subcontractor- or Supplier- supplied materials, parts, supplies and equipment,
all Owner Supplied Equipment, the risk of loss to which Owner Supplied Equipment shall pass
to the Contractor effective upon delivery thereof to the Contractor), and also specifically
including any materials, parts, supplies and equipment in transit or in storage either within or off
the Project Site, until Final Completion (or, if this Agreement is terminated prior to Final
Completion, then until the effective date of such earlier termination of this Agreement). For
purposes of the foregoing, Owner Supplied Equipment shall be deemed delivered to the
Contractor when it is made available for unloading by the Contractor at the applicable Job Site,
Owner-designated storage or lay down area or other work area.

Without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing, the Contractor shall be fully
responsible for any loss or damage to the BOP or to materials, parts, supplies and equipment
incorporated or intended to be incorporated into the BOP (including Owner Supplied Equipment
in addition to Contractor-, Subcontractor- or Supplier- supplied materials, parts, supplies and
equipment) due to theft, pilferage, rust, weathering, and the elements.

In the event of any loss, theft or damage for which the Contractor is responsible under

remedies available to Owner under applicable Law and/or under this
Agreement and all other agreements, documents and instruments
executed in connection with this Agreement. In the event Owner, upon

Work, Owner, at its election, may assume the rights, powers, remedies,
duties, responsibilities and obligations of Contractor under all of its

Subcontracts with Subcontractors and purchase orders with Suppliers
entered into in connection with the Work as Owner may request, shall
transfer to Owner, to the extent transferable, any Contractor Permits

tools and instruments used and any debris or waste materials generated
by Contractor in the performance of the Work as Owner may direct, and

Project documents that may be in the Contractors possession. .

with supporting documentation in reasonable detail, Owner will pay

cancellation charges from Subcontractors and Suppliers (Contractor to
use its best efforts to avoid and/or minimize all such charges), all to the
extent not covered by the payments previously made under the
Milestone Payment Schedule. Contractor shall leave for the Owner at

steps requested by Owner or its assignee which may be required or

anticipated duration of such suspension of the Work. Thereafter, Contractor shall
resume performance as directed by Owner within a reasonable time period after Owners
notice of resumption of performance. In the event of such suspension or extension

2.3 Design Loads, Load Combinations, and Factors of Safety


The following criteria apply to the balance of plant equipment. The wind Turbine design
loadings shall be based on Turbine Supplier requirements as included in Exhibit B-1.

2.3.1 Design Loads


The Applicable Building Code and this section shall govern the requirements regarding
loads and load combinations in the design of balance of plant buildings and structures.
The loads specified herein are the minimum loads to be considered in the design. If
applicable building and design codes differ from these requirements, the more stringent
of the two requirements shall govern.

Design loads shall include all loads that are defined in the applicable chapter of the
latest version of the IBC. In addition to these loads, crane pads, buried piping, box
culverts, and embankments shall be designed for wheel and crawler loads. Typically,
the minimum roadway design loads are based on AASHTO HS20-44 loads, in general,
or more specifically the loads provided by the Turbine Supplier in Exhibit B-1 and other
Turbine Supplier drawings. However, where appropriate, crawler crane loads often
exceed the more typical HS20-44 loadings and therefore all areas to have crane traffic
must be evaluated and designed by the Contractor to meet the specific loading
conditions for crane and crane-load combinations, these include crane pathways
between Turbine locations, crane assembly and disassembly areas, and crane pads used
for turbine erection.

2.3.2 Load Combinations


As a minimum, buildings, other structures and individual structural members shall be
designed for the most critical effects from the load combinations specified in the latest
version of the IBC. For WTG design, gravitational, inertial, aerodynamic, actuation, and
other live loads shall be considered in accordance with IEC 61400-1, these loads shall
subsequently be applied to foundations and other civil structures in accordance with
IBC. The effect of impact loads shall be included in the load combinations for dead, live
and seismic or wind loads where appropriate. Impact, however, shall not be used to
reduce uplift or overturning conditions.

Lake Winds Energy Park


FINAL 2-2

FIN
The earthquake loads to be used in the load combinations shall be determined in
accordance with the provisions of Section 1613 of ASCE 7. Appropriate seismic force
amplification factors and reliability/redundancy factors shall be used to determine these
effects.

2.4 Foundations

2.4.1 General
The Contractor shall be responsible for the design, installation, and testing of all
foundations required for the Project. All foundations shall be installed to meet the latest
versions of the IBC, ACI 301 and 318, 2006 Michigan Building Code, and the Post-
Tensioning Institutes Post-Tensioning Manual 6th Edition. Foundation designs, plan
and detail drawings and calculations shall be performed by or under the direct
supervision of a Professional Engineer licensed in the State of Michigan.

Results of the full-scale geotechnical study to be provided by the Contractor shall be


utilized to predict the bearing and settlement characteristics of the soils. Criteria shall be
established to permit design of the most economical foundation that is compatible with
life expectancy and service of the building, equipment or structure. It is expected that all
foundation designs will be based on a sufficient number of soil borings. A minimum of
one soil boring or CPT test is required at each Turbine Foundation. If the site soil
conditions vary (based on local experience of a Professional Engineer registered in the
State of Michigan and proficient in geotechnical practice), 2 to 3 borings shall be
completed at the outer edges of the proposed WTG foundation. Each soil layer that
contributes to the foundation stiffness and settlement must be thoroughly tested.

Where soils of insufficient strength or stiffness to meet the foundation design basis
minimum(s) are encountered they shall be excavated and replaced with competent
material meeting the foundation design requirements, or alternate improvement
methods may be acceptable pending Owner approval. Contractor will establish a
quality control program to test, verify, and document adequate subgrade soil conditions
prior to foundation construction. Appropriate measures shall be taken to ensure the
stability of the excavation is maintained, e.g. appropriate slopes, dewatering with
pumps as necessary, etc. If a dewatering system is used, the system shall be designed by
a Registered Professional Engineer, licensed in the State of Michigan. The design shall
ensure that settlement of the site is not caused by removing fines from the soil, boils
from the bottom of the excavation or side walls, or consolidation of sub soils from an
increase in effective stress. All foundation excavations shall be free from deleterious

under the direct supervision of Professional Engineer licensed in the State of Michigan.

Foundations shall be designed using reinforced concrete to resist the loading imposed
by the building, structure or equipment being supported. The foundation design shall
incorporate the following considerations:
- Allowable soil pressure based on bearing pressure and theoretical settlement.
- Pile or pier capacities.
- Active and passive lateral earth pressures.
- Allowable settlements of the foundation system based on service limits of the
equipment.
- Structure, equipment and environmental loadings.
- Equipment performance criteria.
- Access and maintenance.
- Temporary construction loading.

Foundations shall be designed using static analysis techniques assuming rigid elements
and linear soil pressures distribution such that the allowable settlement and bearing
pressure criteria are not exceeded. Foundations shall be proportioned so that the
resultant of the soil pressure coincides as nearly as possible with the resultant of the

Geotechnical exploration, testing and analysis information shall be used to determine


the most suitable foundation system. Elastic (short term) and consolidation (long term)
foundation settlements shall be calculated and limited to the approximate design values:
- Total settlement - 1-1/2 inches.
- Differential settlement - 0.1 percent slope between adjacent column support
points.
Main transformer foundations shall be reinforced concrete foundations within a sealed,
reinforced concrete pit or collection area provided to retain any oil that may be
accidentally released from the transformer. Each transformer area shall be provided
with a drainage sump for the collection of liquid within the containment area. The
containment system design shall also allow for oil/water separation.

The overall dimensions of the transformer containment area shall be established to avoid
oil contamination of the surrounding soils in the event of transformer failure and to
allow for adequate installation, removal, operation, and cooling of the transformers.

The minimum containment volume will be the maximum of the transformer oil capacity
plus accommodate a 25-year, 24 hours storm event or 110% of the transformer oil
capacity.

The ground surface surrounding the main transformer area will be graded for positive
drainage to convey precipitation away from the transformer pit.

Lake Winds Energy Park


FINAL 2-6

FIN
Method for controlling maximum concrete temperature and temperature
differentials within appropriate levels per ACI and other appropriate industry
standards.

Temperature sensor types and locations.

Temperature monitoring and recording system.

Construction

Prior to construction, a registered Professional Engineer for the Contractor must inspect
and test the temperature monitoring and recording system. The Contractors engineer
must be present at the jobsite when the mass concrete operation is in progress and must
report to the Engineer in writing, on a daily basis, the progress of the operation.

The temperature monitoring and recording system for mass concrete must consist of
temperature sensors connected to a data acquisition system capable of storing and
downloading data to a computer. Temperature sensors must be located such that the
maximum temperature differential within a mass concrete element can be monitored.

Record temperature readings automatically at a minimum of 30 minute intervals. A


redundant set of sensors must be installed near the primary set. Provisions must be
made for recording the redundant set, but records of the redundant sensors need not be
made if the primary set is operational. Submit the data to Owner daily.

Ensure that the methods of concrete consolidation do not damage the temperature
monitoring and recording system. Protect wiring from temperature sensors cast into the
concrete to prevent movement. Keep wire runs as short as possible. The ends of the
temperature sensors must not come into contact with either a support or concrete form,
or reinforcing steel. Immediately correct failures of the temperature control and
monitoring and recording system that may occur during the mass concrete construction
operation, as specified in the Mass Concrete Placement Plan. Failure to conform to the
temperature requirements will be cause for rejection of the concrete.

Acceptance

Owner's review and acceptance of the Mass Concrete Placement Plan does not relieve
the Contractor of the responsibility for achieving compliance with this specification.

Lake Winds Energy Park


FINAL 2-7

FIN
Failure to conform to any of the temperature requirements in this specification may
result in rejection of the mass concrete element, as directed by the Owner. The rejected

i. Direct Transfer Trip
5. A system has been developed which utilizes the RFL Industries 6745 transfer trip
equipment. Consumers Energy will supply technical details, utility costs, and
specifications when responding to proposed interconnection Projects.
a. Out of Step Tripping
6. At this time, only the Schweitzer SEL-311C relay is approved for out-of-step
tripping of the generator(s). In order to apply the out-of-step tripping relay,
extensive power system stability studies must be performed.
7. The above multifunction relays are very versatile, but also very complex
products. In order to avoid unnecessary delays in completion of projects using
these devices, coordination with Consumers Energy is strongly encouraged.
8. Since many of these relays have programmable inputs and outputs, the
contractor is asked to specify which programmable inputs and outputs are to be
used and for what purpose in satisfying Consumers Energy requirements. For
example, the specific trip output to be used for a purpose should be detailed, as
should any programmable input that may be used for monitoring the contact
status of a circuit breaker.
9. If the device is intended to satisfy both Consumers Energy requirements and to
provide other generator protection and/or control functions, the contractor should
specify precisely which protective functions within the multifunction relay are
intended to satisfy each.
I. Instrument Transformer Requirements
1. All relaying must be connected into instrument transformers.
2. All current connections shall be connected into current transformers (CTs). All
CTs shall be rated to provide no more than 5 amperes secondary current for all
normal load conditions, and must be designed for relaying use, with an accuracy
class of at least C50. Current transformers with an accuracy class designation
such as T50 are NOT acceptable. For three-phase systems, all three phases
must be equipped with CTs.
3. All potential connections must be connected into voltage transformers (VTs). For
single-phase connections, the VTs shall be provided such that the secondary
voltage does not exceed 120 volts for normal operations. For three-phase
connections, the VTs shall be provided such that the line-to-line voltage does not
exceed 120 volts for normal operation, and both the primary and secondary of
the VTs shall be connected for grounded-wye connections.
J. Direct Transfer Trip (DTT)
1. Direct Transfer Trip is generally not required for Induction or Inverter-Type
Projects. Direct Transfer Trip is generally not required for Synchronous Projects

Lake Winds Energy Park | E-3

Rev. C. November 4, 2010


that will operate in the Non-Flow-back Mode since a more economic reverse
power relay scheme can usually meet the requirements. For Synchronous
Flowback Projects, the need for DTT is determined based on the location of the
PCC. The Utility requires DTT when the total generation within a protective zone
is greater than 33% of the minimum Utility load that could be isolated along with
the generation. This prevents sustained isolated operation of the generation for
conditions where Project protective relaying may not otherwise operate.
2. Direct transfer trip adds to the cost and complexity of an interconnection. A DTT
transmitter is required for each Utility protective device whose operation could
result in sustained isolated operation of the Project. An associated DTT receiver
at the Project is required for each DTT transmitter. A phone Data Circuit is
required between each transmitter and receiver. Telemetry is required to monitor
status of the DTT communication, even if telemetry would not otherwise have
been required.
3. At the Project Developers expense, the Utility will provide the receiver(s) that the
Project Developer must install, and the Utility will install the transmitter(s) at the
appropriate Utility protective devices.
K. Automatic Reclosing
1. The Utility employs automatic multiple-shot reclosing on most of the Utilitys
circuit breakers and circuit reclosers to increase the reliability of service to its
customers. Automatic single-phase overhead reclosers are regularly installed on
distribution circuits to isolate faulted segments of these circuits.
2. The Project Developer is advised to consider the effects of Automatic Reclosing
(both single-phase and three-phase) to assure that the Projects internal
equipment will not be damaged. In addition to the risk of damage to the Project,
an out-of-phase reclosing operation may also present a hazard to the Utilitys
electric system equipment since this equipment may not be rated or built to
withstand this type of reclosing.
3. To prevent out-of-phase reclosing, circuit breakers can be modified with voltage
check relays. These relays block reclosing until the parallel generation is
separated and the line is "de-energized." Hydraulic single-phase overhead
reclosers cannot be modified with voltage check relays; therefore, these devices
will have to be either replaced with three-phase overhead reclosers, which can
be voltage controlled, or relocated beyond the Project location - depending upon
the sectionalizing and protection requirements of the distribution circuit.
L. Single-Phase Sectionalizing
1. The Utility also installs single-phase fuses and/or reclosers on its distribution
circuits to increase the reliability of service to its customers. Three-phase
generator installations may require replacement of fuses and/or single-phase
reclosers with three-phase circuit breakers or circuit reclosers at the Project
Developers expense.
M. Relay Setting Criteria - The relay settings as detailed in this section will apply in the vast
majority of applications. The Utility will issue relay settings for each individual Project
Developer that will address the settings for these protective functions. All voltages will be
adjusted for the specific VT ratio, and all currents will be adjusted for the specific CT
ratio.
1. Undervoltage Relays - The undervoltage relays will normally be set to trip at 88%
of the nominal primary voltage at the relay location, and must reset from a trip
condition if the voltage increases to 90% of the nominal primary voltage at the
relay location. In order to accommodate variations in this criteria, the trip point of
Lake Winds Energy Park | E-4

Rev. C. November 4, 2010


the relays shall be adjustable over a range of 70% of the nominal voltage to 90%
of the nominal voltage. The trip time shall not exceed 1.0 seconds at 90% of the
relay setting.
2. Overvoltage Relays - Two steps of overvoltage relaying are required.
3. For the first overvoltage set point, the overvoltage relays will normally be set to
trip at 107% of the nominal primary voltage at the relay location, and must reset
from a trip condition if the voltage decreases to 105% of the nominal primary
voltage at the relay location. In order to accommodate variations in this criteria,
the trip point of the relays shall be adjustable over a range of 105% of the
nominal voltage to 120% of the nominal voltage. The trip time shall not exceed
1.0 seconds at 110% of the relay setting.
4. For the second overvoltage set point, the overvoltage relays will normally be set
to trip at 120% of the nominal primary voltage at the relay location, and must
reset from a trip condition if the voltage decreases to 118% of the nominal
primary voltage at the relay location. In order to accommodate variations in this
criteria, the trip point of the relays shall be adjustable over a range of 115% of the
nominal voltage to 140% of the nominal voltage. The trip time shall be
instantaneous (relay operating time not to exceed 0.02 seconds at 110% of the
trip setting).
5. Underfrequency Relays - The Underfrequency relay will normally be set for a trip
point of 58.5 Hz, and must trip within 0.2 seconds. Relays with an inverse time
characteristic (where the trip time changes with respect to the applied frequency)
are not acceptable. These relays must respond reliably for applied source
voltages as low as 70% of the nominal voltage.
6. Overfrequency Relays - The overfrequency relay will normally be set for a trip
point of 60.5 Hz, and must trip within 0.2 seconds. Relays with an inverse time
characteristic are not acceptable. These relays must respond reliably for applied
source voltages as low as 70% of the nominal voltage.
7. 51V Relays Voltage Controlled Overcurrent Relays - For synchronous Project
applications, the (51V) relays must be set to detect any phase faults that may
occur between the Project and the nearest three-phase fault clearing device on
the Utility system. Since these faults may take up to 1-second to detect and
isolate, the appropriate saturated direct-axis reactance of the Project will be used
depending on its time constants. The settings of this device will consider the
relay manufacturers recommended practice for the type of Project and prime
mover (mechanical energy source), and will be determined by the Utility for the
specific system application.
8. 59N Relay Ground Fault Detection - This relay will be applied to detect ground
faults on the Utility system when the Project is connected to a grounded Utility
system via an ungrounded transformer winding. This relay will be set for a 10%
shift in the apparent power system neutral. For an ungrounded-wye transformer
winding with a single 120 V secondary VT, the setting will usually be 12 Volts.
For a delta transformer winding with broken delta 120 V secondary VTs, the
setting will usually be 20 Volts. The time delay will normally be 1 second.
9. 51N Relay Ground Fault Detection - This relay will be applied to detect ground
faults on the Utility system when the Project is connected to a grounded Utility
system via a grounded-wye transformer winding, and will be connected into a CT
in the transformer neutral connection. This relay will be set to detect faults on the
directly connected Utility system, and the timing will be set to comply with Utility
practice for overcurrent relay coordination. The CT ratio and specific relay setting
will be determined via a fault study performed by the Utility.

Rev. C. November 4, 2010


10. 32 Relay Reverse Power - The reverse power relay must be selected such that
it can detect a power flow into the Utility system of a small fraction of the overall
Project capacity. The relay will normally be set near its minimum (most sensitive)
setting, and will trip after a 1 second time delay. The delay will avoid
unnecessary tripping for momentary conditions.

System NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION
Lake Winds Energy Park Conceptual SCADA including Departmental Duties & Responsibilities
WTG Vendor SCADA System: The WTG Vendor SCADA System Server will be located in a secure room inside the WTG Vendors Local Support Building. The WTG Vendor SCADA System is very similar to and can be compared to a DCS
Control System in a CE Generating Facility. The WTG Vendor SCADA System Server collects data and allows for interfacing with each of the individual WTGs, Existing MET Towers (if determined existing MET Towers will be rerouted to the WTG
SCADA System), new MET Towers (if new MET Towers will be required) and the Collector Substation. The WTG Vendor SCADA System Server then allows for 3rd Party Interfacing for remote monitoring and control. Each of the 3rd Party
Interfaces which need to occur are described below. The best means of communication interface with each of the 3rd Parties will need to be discussed with the WTG Vendor once a WTG Supplier is selected as each of the Suppliers Systems
seem to communicate in different ways (TCP/IP,DNP3 etc.). The WTG Vendor SCADA & Control System will be maintained by the Lake Winds Energy Park Lab Technician who will be specifically trained on the Vendors SCADA System and
permanently assigned to the Lake Winds Energy Park Headquarters. Annual software maintenance and updates on the Vendors Systems will be accomplished through the Vendor and this Lab Technician.

WTG Vendor Central Office: During WTG Warranty period the WTG Vendor will have access to monitor the entire wind farm and provide troubleshooting support to WTG Service Technicians. All WTG operations (MW, MVARs, System Voltage,
Frequency control, Start/Stop/Lockout of individual WTGs) will be requested through ES&T (3rd Floor Parnall, Jackson) who will be responsible for performing these operations (This will require further discussion based on the WTG Warranty
requirements).

CE Energy Management System (Parnall East, Jackson): This current monitoring system will need to interface with the WTG Vendor SCADA System in order to extract the required data and distribute the data to the appropriate areas (ES&T,
DR, System Control) within CE. The data that needs to be extracted and CONTROL interfaces that need to occur are but are not limited to the following: All data & controls from the Collector Substation that will be routed into the WTG Vendor
Server, Total MW output and CONTROL, Total MVARS output and CONTROL, Frequency, Voltage (34.5 & 138 kv), and a Common WTG Station Alarm.

ES&T (3rd Floor Parnall Jackson) WTG Human Interface (HMI) Workstation: From this WTG HMI, ES&T will be able to monitor all aspects of the entire wind farm. This will include such things as individual WTG status, equipment status and
individual WTG alarms. ES&T will also be able to Control the output (Total MWs, MVARs, System Voltage, Frequency control, Start/Stop/Lockout of individual WTGs) from the entire wind farm through this WTG HMI similar to the way they
currently perform using AGC for the Fossil plants and Peakers. In the event of an individual WTG alarm, ES&T will be able to view the alarm on this WTG HMI and then perform one or more of the following actions: Acknowledge the alarm,
remove the individual WTG from service if warranted, contact Lake Winds Supervisor or On-Call supervisor to immediately dispatch a General WTG Service Worker if warranted or if not warranted wait until the following business day to contact
Lake Winds Supervisor or On-Call supervisor and dispatch a General WTG Service Worker during normal business hours (This will require additional discussions since this will become purely a Business Decision).

ES&T (3rd Floor Parnall Jackson) Current Energy Management System HMI: The following data and WTG controls will need to be routed from the WTG Vendor SCADA system server through CEs Current Energy Management System and
incorporated into ES&Ts Current Energy Management System HMI: Total MW output and CONTROL, Total MVARS output and CONTROL, Frequency, Voltage (138 kv), Common WTG Station Alarm (When this alarm is received then ES&T will
need to look at the WTG HMI to view and acknowledge the individual WTG alarm). Through this ES&T Current Energy Management System HMI, ES&T will need to be able to CONTROL the Total MW output and MVAR output from the entire
wind farm similar to the way they currently perform using AGC for the Fossil plants and Peakers using MISOs LMP Market price to control the Total MW output of the plant (This means of Control will become the primary means of control).

DR/BC WTG Human Interface (HMI) Workstation: From this WTG HMI, DR Battle Creek will be able to perform all the same function as described above in the ES&T (3rd Floor Parnall Jackson) WTG HMI and is a backup to ES&T (3rd Floor
Parnall Jackson).

DR/BC Current Energy Management System: All of the data and WTG controls as described above in ES&T (3rd Floor Parnall Jackson) Current Energy Management System HMI will need to be incorporated into DR/BC Current Energy
Management System and is a backup to ES&T (3rd Floor Parnall Jackson).

System Control Center (SCCS, SCCW, etc.) Current Monitoring System: The following data and substation controls will need to be routed from the WTG Vendor SCADA system server and from the Collector Substation through CEs Current
Energy Management System which will need to be incorporated into the appropriate System Controls Current Monitoring System: All data & controls from the Collector Substation that will be routed into the WTG Vendor Server, All data & controls
being directly routed from the Collector Substation, Total MW output, Total MVARS output, Frequency, Voltage (34.5 & 138 kv).

Collector Substation SCADA System: This SCADA System will be a typical extension of the already existing state-wide SCADA system and be designed based on CE's Standard Generator-Interconnect Substation SCADA interfaces. This
RTU-based interface will function as the primary connection for SCADA and Automatic Generator Control (AGC) between the existing CE SCADA system having a "Master" station at Parnall East, Jackson, an RTU (configured by SE&P-I&C) at the
substation, and connected to the WTG Vendor SCADA System Server. This means of communication needs to absolutely be DNP-Serial. As such, this interface will not only serve to provide substation SCADA functionality but also
aggregated Windfarm SCADA and AGC, in a fashion virtually identical to that done at all other Consumer Energy generation facilities and system-connected IPPs. This functionality shall include but are not limited to the following: substation
relays, breaker position & CONTROLS, Total MW generated, Total MVARS generated, MW and MVAR Windfarm demand setpoints, generation capacity limits/derates (gross available generation), ramp-rate capability, general windfarm alarm,
Substation Alarms, Voltage (34.5 & 138 kv). All system maintenance on the Collector Substation Systems, including the SCADA/AGC interface will be accomplished following the current CE protocols and departments such as Elec Lab.
Scheduling of testing and maintenance will need to be incorporated into CEs current scheduling system.

Substation Control Building: These workstations will be utilized by the Lake Winds Energy Park O&M General WTG Service Workers & Lab Technician to daily monitor and control the overall operation of the wind farm. From these workstations
the employees will also be able to remove individual WTGs from service for routine preventative maintenance or troubleshooting and repair (These activities must be communicated with ES&T).

CE SAP Interface: This is an optional interface with the WTG Vendor SCADA System Server and at this time uncertain how this is going to be accomplished or if it can be done. What is believed to be the original concept is that in the event of an
alarm or equipment malfunction the Vendor SCADA System will interface with the CE SAP system to create a work order that can be used to plan the General WTG Service Workers daily work. Once the work order is created the General WTG
Service Workers will use Portable Handheld to display and close out the work orders upon completion. These Portable Handhelds will also be used by the Service Workers to enter their timesheets as well as other Employee Self Services in SAP.

INTRODUCTION

This Generator Interconnection Requirements document outlines the process,


requirements, and agreements used to install or modify generation projects with
aggregate generator output capacity ratings of 2 MW or more, and designed to operate
in parallel with the Utility electric system. Technical requirements (data, equipment,
relaying, telemetry, metering) are defined according to the size and type of generation,
location of the interconnection, and mode of operation (Flow-back or Non-Flow-back).
The process is designed to provide an expeditious interconnection to the Utility electric
system that is both safe and reliable. Interconnection requests desiring to connect to
the areas transmission system should be directed to the appropriate transmission
provider.

This document has been filed with the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC)
and complies with rules established for the interconnection of parallel generation to the
Utility electric system in the MPSC Order in Case No. U-13745.

The term Project will be used throughout this document to refer to a merchant plant
and other electric generating equipment and associated facilities that are not owned or
operated by an electric utility. The term Project Developer means a person that owns,
operates, or proposes to construct, own, or operate, a Project.

This document does not address other Project concerns such as environmental
permitting, local ordinances, or fuel supply. Nor does it address agreements that may
be required with the Utility and/or the transmission provider, or state or federal licensing,
to market the Projects energy. An interconnection request does not constitute a
request for transmission service.

It may be possible for the Utility to adjust requirements stated herein on a case-by-case
basis. The review necessary to support such adjustments, however, may be extensive
and interfere with study fees and the project schedule established by the MPSC and
addressed in these requirements. Therefore, if requested by the Project Developer,
adjustments to these requirements will only be considered if the Project Developer
agrees in advance to compensate the Utility for the added costs of the necessary
additional reviews and to also allow the Utility additional time for the additional reviews.

The Utility may apply for waiver from one or more provisions of these rules and the
MPSC may grant a waiver upon a showing of good cause.
