§ 1 Development Order, Responsibilities
| 1.1 | The customer charges aerodyn with the pro-rated development and design of the wind energy converter with the technical data defined in Annex 5 according to the scope of work defined in annex 1. |
aerodyn will submit an estimating power-wind speed data sheet of target turbines defined in Annex 1 for the purpose of client’s wind farm planning within 2 weeks after the contract coming into force.
Modifications of Annex 5 can only be made by an written agreement between the parties.
The time periods in Annex 2 given for the items 10 and 11 as well as for the Prototype planning are none binding information.
The location of production for the most important components is defined in Annex 6. aerodyn is responsible to identify possible suppliers in Europe. The customer is responsible to identify possible suppliers in China. The decision about the final supplier of each component must be made by the Customer.
The development project comprises the items which are described in the time schedule (annex 2) and the scope of work (annex 1). The working sequences can be seen from the bar chart (annex 2).
The work package for the nationalisation of the series turbines are described in the Optional Scope of Work (Annex 7). Annex 7 is not included in the development price according to §8 and will be charged separately.
| 1.2 | aerodyn is especially responsible for work in connection with the design, arrangement and structural calculation of the components defined in annex 1, including the preparation of the necessary calculation documents and drawings for certification and back-up of the certification procedure at the intended certification authority. Furthermore, the scope of work of aerodyn includes preparation of specifications as well as construction drawings. |
| 1.3 | Any work packages being necessary for the realisation of the development project as well as the parties responsible in each case, are listed in Annex 4. However, based on the actual knowledge of the contractual development project, aerodyn assures that from today’s point of view there are no further essential tasks which are not mentioned in Annex 4. However, in case that unexpected additional engineering services are required, aerodyn will effect them on aerodyn’s own cost. |
Furthermore, the Customer is responsible for the work specified as following:
| • | elaboration of manufacturing drawings and parts lists |
| • | production and testing plans |
| • | QM specifications |
| • | repair instructions |

| 1.4 | The placing and realisation of orders dealing with the manufacturing of components as well as the contractual responsibility therefore lie exclusively on the customer. If the specifications are to be modified after release on request of the customer and if the requested modifications result in additional work for aerodyn, aerodyn is entitled to demand compensation for such additional work. This additional work is proven on the basis of aerodyn-internal hourly accounts and is charged to the customer at those hourly rates. |
| 1.5 | The customer has to order the certification work within 2 month after entering the design phase 2. |
§ 2 Rights of Use and Ownership to the Development
| 2.1 | Solely the customer is entitled to use, own and exploit all deliverables for the production of the components developed by aerodyn in accordance with this contract as well as the other working results achieved in this connection, provided that due payment in accordance with § 8 has been effected. However, the rights to all computer programs used as tool for development and design remain solely with aerodyn respectively the relevant licenser. |
| 2.2 | If the customer markets the contractual equipment under a name, product designation and logo of its own choice, the customer shall be responsible for the correct marking of risks and for providing appropriate operating and maintenance manuals. |
§ 3 Intellectual Property Rights

General comments:
The design will be done for two different type classes with different rotor diameters and hub heights. The blade geometry of existing rotor blade moulds will be used for the rotor blade design. The customer must submit a statement of release from the blade manufacturer that aerodyn is allowed to use the blade geometry data of the existing blade moulds for the structural design of the rotor blades. aerodyn will do a structural blade design for two rotor diameters on the basis of the existing blade geometries.
One version of the turbine will be for type class S with extreme loads according to TC1 and fatigue loads according to TC3. The second version of the turbine will be for standard type class TC3.
The concept of the drive train has been fixed by the customer at the beginning of the development project (conventional drive train with high ratio gear box and double feed asynchronous generator). aerodyn will therefore not perform a concept study at the beginning of the project.
