4.7. Warranty

i) The Supplier shall warrant all material for design, materials or workmanship defects for a
period of 24 months starting from the date of delivery.

Should the equipment have defects, or become defective due to design, material and

16
 TEDAS-MYD/96-026

workmanship defects within the warranty period, and if repairing is not possible at the place
of installation, their dismantling, transportation to the Manufacturer’s premises, repair,
transportation after repair to the place the Purchaser has indicated, and mounting as
necessary shall be executed without any request for payment.The Supplier shall deliver the
defective equipment to the Manufacturer’s premises within 15 days of the date of the written
notice, and shall deliver the repaired equipment to the destination to be indicated by the
Purchaser within 15 days of the date of the completion of the tests. If the Supplier fails to
comply with such delivery terms, or, if the Supplier, having been notified, fails to remedy the
defects, the Purchaser shall proceed to take such remedial action as may be necessary at
the Supplier’s expense. In this case the Purchaser shall collect the costs and expenses from
the payments or performance security of the Supplier.

The repaired or replaced equipment shall be covered by the same warranty stipulations.

ii) After the conclusion of Warranty Period, the Supplier shall warrant to provide the spares of
the equipment used in the capacitor banks and furthermore to conduct, if required by the
Purchaser, maintenance and repair works of scapacitor bank and equipment at the
Purchaser’s expense during a period of 10 (ten) years starting from the date of delivery

iii) At the end of the Warranty Period specified in paragraph (i) above, before the performance
security is released, the Supplier shall submit to the Purchaser a written decleration for his
obligations, stated in the paragraph (ii) above regarding the supply of spare parts and
conducting the maintenance and repair work.
