Item 14.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
 
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
 
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:
 
  •  for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders;
 
  •  for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
 
  •  under section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law regarding unlawful dividends and stock purchases; or
 
  •  for any transaction for which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
 
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant’s Bylaws provide that:
 
  •  the Registrant is required to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to very limited exceptions;
 
  •  the Registrant may indemnify its other employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to very limited exceptions;
 
  •  the Registrant is required to advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to very limited exceptions;
 
  •  the Registrant may advance expenses, as incurred, to its employees and agents in connection with a legal proceeding; and
 
  •  the rights conferred in the Bylaws are not exclusive.


II-1


 

The Registrant may enter into Indemnity Agreements with each of its current directors and officers to give these directors and officers additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in the Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation and to provide additional procedural protections. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer or employee of the Registrant regarding which indemnification is sought, nor is the Registrant aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.
 
The indemnification provisions in the Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and any Indemnity Agreements entered into between the Registrant and each of its directors and officers may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Registrant’s directors and officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
 
CVR Energy, Inc. and its subsidiaries are covered by liability insurance policies which indemnify their directors and officers against loss arising from claims by reason of their legal liability for acts as such directors, officers or trustees, subject to limitations and conditions as set forth in the policies.
 
The underwriting agreement to be entered into among the company, the selling stockholder and the underwriters will contain indemnification and contribution provisions.
 
Item 15.  Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
 
We issued             shares of common stock to Coffeyville Acquisition LLC in September 2006. The issuance was exempt from registration in accordance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

Item 17.   Undertakings.
 
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 14 above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective; and
 
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT DENOTED WITH THREE ASTERISKS [***] HAVE BEEN OMITTED PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIALITY.
EXHIBIT 10.4
LICENSE AGREEMENT
FOR USE OF THE TEXACO GASIFICATION PROCESS,
TEXACO HYDROGEN GENERATION PROCESS,
AND TEXACO GASIFICATION POWER SYSTEMS
     THIS AGREEMENT, effective as of the 30th day of May, 1997 (“Effective Date”), by and between TEXACO DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, a subsidiary of Texaco Inc., hereinafter referred to as “TEXACO DEVELOPMENT,” and FARMLAND INDUSTRIES, INC., hereinafter referred to as “LICENSEE”,
RECITALS
     WHEREAS, TEXACO DEVELOPMENT and its parent corporation, Texaco Inc., have conducted research and development work on the Texaco Gasification Process (“TGP”) and further applications or variants thereof, including without limitation, the Texaco Hydrogen Generation Process (“THGP”) and Texaco Gasification Power Systems (“TGPS”) (as more fully defined in Schedule I attached hereto), and have developed and acquired technical data and information pertinent to, and have been granted patents covering certain aspects of, the design, construction, operation and maintenance of plants for the practice of the TGP, THGP and TGPS; and
     WHEREAS, TEXACO DEVELOPMENT is prepared to grant nonexclusive licenses to LICENSEE for the use of such technical data and information and under certain patent rights relating to the design, construction, operation and maintenance of the Plant described in Paragraph 3.1 below, for the practice of the TGP and THGP and, in the event the Plant is subsequently modified, TGPS, including certain patent rights of Texaco Inc.; and
     WHEREAS, LICENSEE now desires to have access to such technical data and information from TEXACO DEVELOPMENT with the right to use the same, and a nonexclusive license under TEXACO DEVELOPMENT’s Patent Rights (as defined in Schedule I attached hereto)

-1-


 

to commercially practice the THGP (which by design includes practice of the TGP) and, at LICENSEE’s option, the TGPS at the Plant; and
     WHEREAS, in addition to the granting of licenses, a company Affiliated with TEXACO DEVELOPMENT will operate and maintain the Plant and provide certain technical services under the terms of a separate agreement which will be entered into between LICENSEE and such affiliated company.
     NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the above premises and of the covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto mutually covenant and agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS
     1.1 The terms defined in Schedule I attached to and made a part of this License Agreement shall have those meanings wherever used herein.
2. GRANTS
     2.1 TEXACO DEVELOPMENT hereby grants and agrees to grant to LICENSEE, subject to the terms and conditions of this License Agreement, a nonexclusive license under TEXACO DEVELOPMENT’s Patent Rights to practice the TGP, THGP and/or TGPS for the production of Synthesis Gas where such Synthesis Gas will be used in the production of high purity hydrogen (in the case of THGP) and/or electric power (in the case of TGPS), in and only in the Plant, together with the right to use and sell the products thereby produced. The license so granted to LICENSEE shall be nontransferable, except as provided in Section 9.
     2.2 TEXACO DEVELOPMENT hereby grants and agrees to grant to LICENSEE, subject to the terms and conditions of this License Agreement, a nonexclusive license to use TEXACO DEVELOPMENT’s Technical Information to practice the TGP, THGP and/or TGPS for the production of Synthesis Gas where such Synthesis Gas will be used in the production of high purity hydrogen (in the case of THGP) and/or electric power (in the case of TGPS), in and only in the

-2-


 

Plant, together with the right to use and sell the products thereby produced. After LICENSEE has made the first royalty payment required hereunder, TEXACO DEVELOPMENT’s Technical Information shall be made available in writing or otherwise to LICENSEE directly by TEXACO DEVELOPMENT or through its nominee(s). The license so granted to LICENSEE shall be nontransferable except as provided in Section 9. The license granted in this Paragraph 2.2 shall in no event be construed as granting any license by implication, estoppel or otherwise under any patent rights or letters patent, such rights being granted only under Paragraph 2.1 hereof.
     2.3 Notwithstanding the definitions afforded TGPS and THGP in Schedule I, if LICENSEE produces electric power or high purity hydrogen from Synthesis Gas generated through the practice of TGP, regardless of the technique or process employed to produce those products, for purposes of Section 5 of this License Agreement, the parties hereto agree that such practice shall be regarded as TGPS or THGP, whichever appropriate.
     2.4 For general illustrative purposes, Schedule III (attached to and made a part of this License Agreement) includes a non-limiting, non-exhaustive list of certain of the unexpired U. S. Patents that are subject to the grant of Paragraph 2.1 hereof.
3. THE PLANT
     3.1 LICENSEE represents that it presently intends to build and place in commercial operation in, or within the proximity of, Coffeyville, Kansas, a plant for the practice of the THGP (which, by design, includes the practice of the TGP) within a reasonable time, but not later than December 31, 2002 (the “Plant”). The Gasifier Feed to such Plant is expected to be a solid carbonaceous substance derived from petroleum, including a carbonaceous solid (i.e., coal or petroleum coke), along with refinery or chemical plant byproducts and water. It is expected that the Plant shall have a configuration using direct quench in the Gasification section and shall have a designed capacity of about Eighty-six Thousand (86,000) MSCF of Output per operating day from the Gasification section. It is understood and agreed that LICENSEE shall be permitted to use other carbonaceous substances as Gasifier Feed in the Plant in addition to, or in lieu of, coal or petroleum coke; provided, however: (i) LICENSEE shall first advise TEXACO DEVELOPMENT in writing that it is contemplating the use of

-3-


 

such other feedstock; and (ii) TEXACO DEVELOPMENT will perform, or arrange to perform, the necessary study to assess the feasibility of processing such other carbonaceous substance in the Plant, and shall provide the engineering services, pursuant to the terms set forth in Paragraph 14.2 hereof.
     3.2 TEXACO DEVELOPMENT’s representatives alone or accompanied by TEXACO DEVELOPMENT’s licensees or potential licensees shall have reasonable access to the Plant for the purpose of promoting the TGP and further applications or variants thereof, including without limitation TGPS and THGP, upon reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours. Such visits shall take place at such times as reasonably agreed upon between the parties hereto so as not to unduly interfere with the operations of the Plant or otherwise cause undue inconvenience for LICENSEE.
          3.2.1 All visitors to the Plant, including employees of TEXACO DEVELOPMENT and its Affiliates, but excluding any personnel present as a result or in support of the Operations and Maintenance Agreement, process Guarantee Agreement or Texaco’s equity interest in the Plant, shall be required to sign the Release attached as Schedule IV to this License Agreement, in their individual capacity. The parties hereto contemplate that Farmland may determine that it is necessary or desirable from time to time to revise such Release due to certain changes in the applicable laws which may occur. Any such revision(s) shall require the written consent of TEXACO DEVELOPMENT, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event a proposed revision has not been agreed upon by TEXACO DEVELOPMENT, then the visit shall take place in any event with the visitor being responsible to sign the Release as it existed prior to any proposed revision(s).
          3.2.2 TEXACO DEVELOPMENT shall indemnify LICENSEE against any claims brought by any employee of TEXACO DEVELOPMENT or its Affiliate for injury, death or damage which occurs during any Plant visit and which is directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such employee(s), TEXACO DEVELOPMENT or its Affiliates. Any such indemnity shall be subject to the limit on TEXACO DEVELOPMENT’s liability set forth in Paragraph 8.6 of this License Agreement.

-4-


 

          3.2.3 TEXACO DEVELOPMENT agrees to use its reasonable efforts to cause visitors to comply with LICENSEE’s safety rules, provided that LICENSEE shall provide all visitors with safety training and instruction regarding such rules at no cost to TEXACO DEVELOPMENT or the visitors. Furthermore, such training and instruction shall be reasonable, shall not exceed thirty (30) minutes in duration, shall directly relate to the Plant, and shall be provided to all such visitors within two (2) hours of their arrival at the Plant on the day of the scheduled visit.

     5.5 TEXACO DEVELOPMENT and LICENSEE understand and agree that for purposes of this Section 5, the rights of extension granted to TEXACO DEVELOPMENT in Paragraphs 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 permit TEXACO DEVELOPMENT to grant LICENSEE’s Patent Rights and Technical Information to TEXACO DEVELOPMENT’s licensees of the TGP and all further applications or variants thereof, including without limitation TGPS and THGP.
6. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
     6.1 Unless previously authorized by TEXACO DEVELOPMENT in writing, LICENSEE shall use TEXACO DEVELOPMENT’s Technical Information only in connection with licensed operations in the Plant and shall not make any disclosure of, and shall use its best efforts to

-8-


 

prevent the duplication or disclosure of such information which is not public information or otherwise generally available to the public, and shall not export or re-export such information or data or the product thereof. LICENSEE shall be permitted to disclose such information if and only if it is legally compelled to make such disclosure; provided, however, that prior to making any disclosure LICENSEE shall first notify TEXACO DEVELOPMENT in writing of the need to make the disclosure and the parties hereto shall cooperate in connection with obtaining a protective order or other mechanism which will preserve the proprietary value of such information. The parties do not intend this Section 6 to include confidential business information. The terms and conditions under which the parties hereto will exchange business information that is confidential is covered in a separate business information confidentiality agreement dated May 27, 1997.
     6.2 With respect to the obligations incurred under this Section 6, information disclosed through an unauthorized disclosure by a third party under a confidentiality obligation with TEXACO DEVELOPMENT with respect to such information shall not in itself be deemed to be public information or otherwise generally available to the public.
     6.3 The prohibition on disclosure set forth in Paragraph 6.1 above prohibits LICENSEE from disclosing TEXACO DEVELOPMENT’s Technical Information to any third party, including without limitation LICENSEE’s contractors and LICENSEE’s affiliates. Such third parties, including contractors and affiliates, shall only be permitted to have access to TEXACO DEVELOPMENT’s Technical Information directly from TEXACO DEVELOPMENT and after having entered into a written secrecy agreement with TEXACO DEVELOPMENT.
     6.4 If LICENSEE enters into a contract with any third party to perform work related to the design, construction, operation and maintenance of the Plant who shall receive or have access to TEXACO DEVELOPMENT’s Technical Information, any such third party may not perform any of the aforementioned work until LICENSEE first receives TEXACO DEVELOPMENT’s written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Furthermore, where such third party will receive LICENSEE’s Technical Information or provide back to LICENSEE technical data and operating information which may become LICENSEE’s Technical Information, LICENSEE shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a written agreement from such third party allowing

-9-


 

LICENSEE to disclose such information to others without obligation to account to such third party therefor. The obligation set forth in this Paragraph 6.4 does not apply to any information that must be kept confidential pursuant to the terms of a prior written confidentiality obligation that is in effect before entering into such a contract with LICENSEE, provided TEXACO DEVELOPMENT is notified by LICENSEE of such preexisting confidentiality obligation.
7. TERM AND TERMINATION
     7.1 Unless previously terminated in accordance with Paragraph 7.2 or canceled and, hence, terminated under Paragraph l (c) of Schedule II, this License Agreement shall terminate and expire upon the cessation of the commercial operation of the Plant. The parties hereto do not intend to allow this License Agreement to terminate due to a suspension (of finite duration) of commercial operations. In this regard, if the LICENSEE decides to suspend commercial operation of the Plant, LICENSEE shall so notify TEXACO DEVELOPMENT in writing. The parties hereto will then engage in good faith discussions to reach agreement on what constitutes a reasonable period for suspension of commercial operations to avoid termination of this License Agreement, In no event shall the period of suspension exceed three (3) years.
     7.2 If, however, LICENSEE shall fail to make any of the payments set forth in this License Agreement, or any part thereof when due, or shall fail to achieve Plant Startup by December 31, 2002, or shall fail to perform any other of its promises or obligations under this License Agreement, TEXACO DEVELOPMENT may terminate this License Agreement and revoke all licenses, rights, privileges, and authorizations of this License Agreement by giving forty-five (45) days written notice to LICENSEE to that effect, at the end of which time this License Agreement shall terminate unless during that time LICENSEE shall have fully remedied such default to TEXACO DEVELOPMENT’s satisfaction. In the event that LICENSEE contends that an event of default cannot possibly be cured in the forty-five (45) days, LICENSEE shall so advise TEXACO DEVELOPMENT in writing stating the reasons that support its position. If TEXACO DEVELOPMENT, in its sole discretion, indicates in writing that it agrees with LICENSEE’s position, TEXACO DEVELOPMENT agrees that this License Agreement shall not terminate until one additional forty-five (45) day period has elapsed, provided that LICENSEE commences the cure of such default within the initial forty-five (45) day

-10-


 

period and continues to work diligently, in TEXACO DEVELOPMENT’s sole opinion, to cure such default. Furthermore, TEXACO DEVELOPMENT agrees that in the event (i) LICENSEE violates any of the confidentiality provisions of Paragraph 6.1, or (ii) LICENSEE violates any of the other provisions of this License Agreement, TEXACO DEVELOPMENT may not initiate the termination proceedings contemplated in this Paragraph 7.2 except as may be permitted by the provisions of Paragraph 13.3.1. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the event LICENSEE breaches this License Agreement under Section 6 (Confidential Information) as a result of LICENSEE’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined through arbitration, TEXACO DEVELOPMENT may terminate this License Agreement and revoke all licenses, rights, privileges and authorizations of this License Agreement. Furthermore, in the event TEXACO DEVELOPMENT has actually received the payments set forth in Paragraphs 1(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) of Schedule II, as well as any other amounts that have become due and payable by LICENSEE hereunder, prior to December 31, 2002, TEXACO DEVELOPMENT agrees that it will not terminate this License Agreement for failure to achieve Plant Startup prior to December 31, 2002.
     7.3 After the effective date of any termination or expiration of this License Agreement, neither LICENSEE nor TEXACO DEVELOPMENT shall have any further rights under this License Agreement except that: (i) such termination or expiration shall not relieve LICENSEE of any obligation (e.g., visitation) or liability accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination or expiration; (ii) such termination or expiration shall not affect in any way the then existing licenses, rights and powers granted or agreed to be granted by, or obligations of LICENSEE under Section 5 (Cross Licensing); (iii) such termination or expiration shall not relieve LICENSEE of its obligations under Section 6 (Confidential Information); (iv) such termination or expiration shall not relieve LICENSEE of its obligations incurred under Paragraph 1(b) of Schedule II; and (v) other than for termination due to the default of LICENSEE pursuant to Paragraph 7.2 above, LICENSEE shall have the right to continue operations licensed hereunder only up to the paid-up capacity acquired prior to termination and LICENSEE shall continue to render annual statements as required by the accounting provisions of Section 4 (Royalties and Accounting).

-12-


 

DEVELOPMENT Technical Information with technical information supplied by a party other than TEXACO DEVELOPMENT. LICENSEE will use its best efforts to obtain a right of defense and indemnity against any claim for patent infringement, from each and every supplier of materials (such as, but not limited to, catalysts, solvents, etc.) which are to be used in the equipment used in the processes licensed hereunder. The indemnification by TEXACO DEVELOPMENT hereunder shall not apply to the extent LICENSEE is indemnified by any supplier under an indemnification obtained by LICENSEE pursuant to LICENSEE’s efforts under the immediately preceding sentence. This paragraph does not apply to equipment supplied by third parties as discussed in Paragraph 8.3.3 of this License Agreement.
          8.3.1 TEXACO DEVELOPMENT will, upon LICENSEE’s written demand, indemnify LICENSEE and hold LICENSEE harmless from and against all expenses of defending such suits and actions and from all payments which by final judgments therein may be assessed against and are actually paid by LICENSEE on account of such suit or action; provided, however, that if LICENSEE elects to participate in the defense of any of such suits or actions, all costs associated with LICENSEE’s participation shall be borne by LICENSEE. TEXACO DEVELOPMENT shall not be liable to LICENSEE for any indirect, consequential or other damages, costs or expenses under this Section 8.3.
          8.3.2 The obligations of TEXACO DEVELOPMENT under this Section 8.3 are subject to the requirement that LICENSEE shall give TEXACO DEVELOPMENT prompt written notice for any such suit or threat of suit. Neither party shall settle nor compromise any such suit without the other party’s prior written consent if by such settlement, the other party is obligated to make any substantial modification to THGP, to make any monetary payment, to part with any property or any interest therein, to assume any obligation, to be subject to any injunction, or to grant any license or other right under the settling party’s patent rights, with the understanding that any such consent may not be unreasonably withheld.
          8.3.3 TEXACO DEVELOPMENT shall not have any obligation hereunder for any alleged or actual infringement that is not expressly described in this Section 8.3. If the alleged or actual infringement meets the express requirements of this Section 8.3, TEXACO

-13-


 

DEVELOPMENT shall not have any obligation hereunder if such infringement is caused by the use of any design, equipment (to the extent the alleged infringing process is practiced within the equipment) or processes supplied by a party other than TEXACO DEVELOPMENT, or which TEXACO DEVELOPMENT did not approve for use in writing prior to any alleged infringing use.
          8.3.4 TEXACO DEVELOPMENT’s obligation under the above provisions in this Section 8.3 shall be further subject to Section 8.6 hereof and shall not exceed in total, an amount equal to [***] of the royalties and fees due and actually received by TEXACO DEVELOPMENT with respect to the Plant pursuant to this License Agreement or [***], whichever is less.

-15-


 

and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of LICENSEE enforceable against LICENSEE in accordance with its terms, neither the execution and delivery by LICENSEE of this License Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this License Agreement by LICENSEE violates any law or any court or governmental agency order binding on LICENSEE or requires the consent or approval of, or the giving of notice by any person to or the taking of any other action in respect of any governmental agency or authority or any person not a party to this License Agreement.
     8.6 Subject to Paragraph 8.3.3, the total cumulative liability of TEXACO DEVELOPMENT under this License Agreement and its liability under any separate performance guarantee agreement shall not exceed [***] of the total royalties and fees due and actually received by TEXACO DEVELOPMENT with respect to the Plant under this License Agreement and which are directly attributable to this License Agreement or [***], whichever is less. Accordingly, any fees received under the provisions of a separate agreement do not pertain to this Paragraph 8.6. This paragraph 8.6 is intended to address TEXACO DEVELOPMENT’s limit of liability and shall not be construed as a liquidated damages provision.

statement to that effect, whether written or otherwise, shall be mutually agreed to by TEXACO DEVELOPMENT and LICENSEE.
     12.3 Each party hereto shall have the right to delay any such publication anticipated in Paragraphs 12.1 and 12.2 above for a reasonable period if it would have an adverse impact on its own commercial activities or relationships.
13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION
     13.1 TEXACO DEVELOPMENT and LICENSEE will attempt in good faith to resolve any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this License Agreement promptly by negotiations between senior executives or officers of the parties hereto who have authority to settle the controversy, including, but not limited to, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to Section 7 of this License Agreement.
     13.2 The disputing party hereto shall give the other party written notice of the dispute. Within twenty (20) days after receipt of said notice, the receiving party shall submit to the other party a written response. The notice and response shall include (i) a statement of each party’s position and a summary of the evidence and arguments supporting its position; and (ii) the name and title of the representative who will represent that party. The representatives shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place within thirty (30) days of the date of the disputing party’s notice and thereafter as often as such representatives reasonably deem necessary to exchange relevant information and to attempt to resolve the dispute.
     13.3 If the matter has not been resolved pursuant to Paragraphs 13.1 and 13.2 within sixty (60) days of the disputing party’s notice, or as the parties may otherwise agree in writing, or if any party hereto will not participate in such procedure, the controversy shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with American Arbitration Association rules and policies pursuant to which three arbitrators (the “Arbitrators”) shall be appointed, one by each party hereto and the third by the first two appointed Arbitrators. Judgment upon the award rendered by the Arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof, or in a U.S. District Court, or in the courts of the State of

-19-


 

New York or the State of Missouri. The place of arbitration shall be the United States of America. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses associated with any arbitration.
     13.3.1 In the event the controversy is related to a violation by LICENSEE of any of the confidentiality provisions of Paragraph 6.1, or any of the other provisions of this License Agreement, and TEXACO DEVELOPMENT is seeking termination of this License Agreement as part or all of the remedy for any such violation, the Arbitrators first shall determine whether LICENSEE has violated the applicable provision of this License Agreement, and, if so, the Arbitrators shall determine if the remedy sought by TEXACO DEVELOPMENT is the appropriate remedy by considering, among other things, the following:
a)   the nature and gravity of such violation;
 
b)   the nature, gravity and similarity of any previous violations by LICENSEE;
 
c)   the steps and/or procedures LICENSEE has implemented or plans to implement to prevent any future violations of the applicable provision;
 
d)   the impact of the remedy on each party; and
 
e)   the harm to TEXACO DEVELOPMENT caused by the violation.
Among other possible remedies, the Arbitrators shall have the authority to award TEXACO DEVELOPMENT double its actual damages in appropriate circumstances. In the event that the Arbitrators grant TEXACO DEVELOPMENT the right to terminate this License Agreement as a fair and appropriate remedy, then the Arbitrators shall grant to TEXACO DEVELOPMENT such right pursuant to a written opinion setting forth their reasons in support of such remedy. In that event, TEXACO DEVELOPMENT shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this License Agreement and revoke all licenses, rights, privileges and authorizations of this License Agreement. The foregoing provisions of this Paragraph shall in no way be deemed to limit, restrict or otherwise modify any rights of TEXACO DEVELOPMENT under Paragraph 13.5.

-20-


 

     13.4 Neither TEXACO DEVELOPMENT, LICENSEE, any witness nor the Arbitrators may disclose the contents of any arbitration hereunder without the written consent of both the parties, unless and then only to the extent required to enforce the award, or as may be required by law, or as are normal and necessary for financial and tax reports and audits.
     13.5 If TEXACO DEVELOPMENT believes that LICENSEE is using TEXACO DEVELOPMENT’s Technical Information or any other data, trade secrets, technical information, know-how, or other proprietary information accessed hereunder by LICENSEE, unlawfully or is treating the same in a manner which could compromise its proprietary value, or if TEXACO DEVELOPMENT believes LICENSEE is not complying with Section 9 (Parties Bound) or Section 10 (Export Control Regulations), then TEXACO DEVELOPMENT shall be permitted to immediately submit the matter to arbitration under Paragraph 13.3. In such case, the parties hereto agree that the Arbitrators shall have full authority to immediately enjoin any further activity of LICENSEE upon a finding by the Arbitrators that LICENSEE is engaging in activity referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, and LICENSEE agrees that it will be fully bound by any injunction or restraining order issued by the Arbitrators respecting such activities. Such injunction or restraining orders shall become effective immediately and shall not have to be entered by any court to become effective and shall not preclude any award of monetary damages. Alternatively, if TEXACO DEVELOPMENT decides that a proper injunction could not be issued expeditiously enough through arbitration, the parties hereto agree that TEXACO DEVELOPMENT may go directly to the courts specified in Paragraph 13.3 to seek injunctive relief.
     13.6 The parties hereto agree and agree to use their best efforts to cause their respective Affiliates to seek to adopt Paragraph 13 of this Agreement in various additional agreements that are entered into with third parties and that relate to the subject matter of this Agreement.
     13.7 This Section 13 shall survive the termination or expiration of this License Agreement and remain in force so long as there remain outstanding rights or obligations of either party subject to arbitration.

Coffeyville Resources and BOC shall, in general, and to the best of their ability, conduct their respective operations on or near the BOC Plant Site in such a manner as to cause no interference or disruption with the other’s operations. BOC acknowledges that Coffeyville Resources intends to operate the Coffeyville Facilities twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven days a week, during the time that BOC is performing its obligations hereunder, and BOC shall undertake its obligations hereunder in a manner that does not interrupt or disrupt the operations of the Coffeyville Facilities.
SECTION 3 PURCHASE AND SALE OF PRODUCT
     (a) It is anticipated that the BOC Plant will be operated on a continuous basis during the Supply Period and will produce a uniform volume of Product. From time to time Coffeyville Resources will advise BOC of the volume of Product it will purchase from BOC, such advice to be effective until new advice is given by Coffeyville Resources. Coffeyville Resources shall pay BOC for such Product in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 hereof. In the event Coffeyville Resources desires to take delivery of less Product than that amount described in Paragraph II of Exhibit A hereto, then Coffeyville Resources will continue to pay BOC for such Product in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 hereof, provided, however, that in the event that Coffeyville Resources desires to purchase less Product than that amount described in Paragraph II of Exhibit A for a period of more than twenty-four (24) hours, then the Supply Period shall be extended by that number of hours that is equal to the number of hours for which Coffeyville Resources desires to take delivery of less Product than that amount described in Paragraph II of Exhibit A, but not to exceed 180 days, and there shall be no Minimum Product Charge during such extension period.
     (b) (i) During the Supply Period, BOC shall sell and deliver to Coffeyville Resources, and Coffeyville Resources shall purchase and accept from BOC, Coffeyville Resources’ requirements of Product for its Gasification Project located at the Coffeyville Plant Site; provided, however, that BOC shall not be obligated to supply gaseous Oxygen Product or gaseous Nitrogen Product from the BOC Plant to Coffeyville Resources at an instantaneous flow rate in excess of the applicable rate that is stated in Paragraph II of Exhibit A or vaporized liquid Oxygen Product or vaporized liquid Nitrogen Product from the Liquid Product Storage Facility at a rate in excess of the applicable vaporization capacity set forth in Paragraph III of Exhibit A.

Delivery and transfer of title to all Product shall be made at the point where each of the Coffeyville Pipelines are connected to the corresponding BOC Pipelines.
          (ii) BOC’s delivery commitments to Coffeyville Resources, as stated in Paragraph 3(b) (i) above, shall be satisfied, primarily, by the delivery of gaseous Product produced at the BOC Plant; however, if the BOC Plant is not operating, or Coffeyville Resources’ requirements exceed the capacity of the BOC Plant, BOC will then supply Coffeyville Resources with vaporized liquid Product delivered from the inventory of the Liquid Product Storage Facility. If requested by Coffeyville Resources, BOC will replenish the inventory of the Liquid Product Storage Facility with hauled-in liquid product to the extent available from outside sources (“Supplemental Product”). Supplemental Product shall be billed to Coffeyville Resources as set forth in Paragraphs IV and V of Exhibit G.
          (iii) During the Supply Period, Coffeyville Resources shall not purchase any Oxygen Products or Nitrogen Products for any other use at the Coffeyville Plant Site from any third party except as set forth in section 3(d) below.
     (c) In the event that during the Supply Period BOC elects to produce Product in excess of the amount of Product to be purchased by Coffeyville Resources hereunder for the purpose of retaining, marketing and selling such Product for its own account pursuant to Section 5 hereof, BOC shall pay Coffeyville Resources any incremental cost Coffeyville Resources incurs in order to provide sufficient quantities of those items provided by Coffeyville Resources pursuant to Section 2(f) hereof to allow BOC to produce such excess Product.
          For the purposes of this Section 3(c), Coffeyville Resources’ incremental costs for liquid Oxygen Product and liquid Nitrogen Product retained by BOC for its own account and sold to third parties shall be deemed paid in full upon the credit to Coffeyville Resources by BOC of the following amounts:
(***) per ton of such liquid Oxygen Product
(***) per ton of such liquid Nitrogen Product
BOC shall meter all quantities of such liquid Product on BOC’s truck scales and shall calculate and provide to Coffeyville Resources all credits due to Coffeyville Resources therefor on a monthly basis. Coffeyville Resources will apply those credits against BOC’s invoices for the Minimum Product Charge.
     (d) If at any time during the Supply Period Coffeyville Resource’s requirements for Product exceed, or are expected to exceed, any of the instantaneous flow rates set forth in Paragraph II of Exhibit A by an amount which exceeds such instantaneous flow rate by at least 10 percent (the amount of such excess over and above 10% defined herein as “Excess Product”), then:
          i. Coffeyville Resources shall promptly provide BOC with written notice (“Excess Product Notice”) of the need for such Excess Product in accordance with Section 15 of this Agreement. Such Excess Product Notice shall include the approximate quantity of Excess

9


 

Product and the approximate date by which Coffeyville Resources requires such Excess Product (“Excess Product Date”); and
          ii. For 60 days following BOC’s receipt of such Excess Product Notice, BOC and Coffeyville Resources shall work together to jointly develop and request for Proposal (“RFP”) for the purpose of soliciting bids from third parties and BOC for supplying Excess Product to the Coffeyville Facilities by the Excess Product Date. BOC and Coffeyville Resources agree that it is their mutual intention that the RFP will not provide for the solicitation of bids for the sale of equipment, but will be limited to contracts for the supply of Excess Product; and
          iii. Coffeyville Resources shall have 60 days from the date BOC and Coffeyville Resources complete preparation of the RFP to distribute the RFP and solicit bids from BOC and any third party bidders (“Bidding Period”); provided, however, that if BOC and Coffeyville fail to complete the RFP by the time described in Section 3(d)(ii) above, then Coffeyville Resources may submit its own RFP to BOC and third parties and the 60 day Bidding Period would then start on the date of Coffeyville Resources’ distribution of such RFP; and
          iv. Within 7 days after the conclusion of the Bidding Period, Coffeyville Resources shall provide BOC with written notice (“Bid Decision Notice”), in accordance with Section 15 of this Agreement, as to whether: (a) it agrees to accept BOC’s bid; or (b) intends to accept one of the bids submitted by a third party; and
          v.  If Coffeyville Resources accepts BOC’S bid, then Coffeyville Resources shall purchase its Excess Product from BOC as of the Excess Product Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of BOC’s bid; and

SECTION 4 PRICING AND PAYMENT
     (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, Coffeyville Resources shall pay BOC in accordance with the pricing schedule set forth on Exhibit G hereto.
     (b) On or before the 10th day of each month, BOC shall submit an invoice (each, a “Minimum Product Charge Invoice”) to Coffeyville Resources covering the Minimum Product Charge applicable to such month. All Minimum Product Charge Invoices shall be on a net cash basis, payable by Coffeyviile Resources within twenty (20) days after receipt thereof. In the event BOC has not received payment within forty (40) days of the date of a Minimum Product Charge Invoice, BOC at its sole option may assess interest thereon at an annual rate equal to the prime rate then in effect at Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., plus two percent (2%) from and after the date such payment was due to the date when paid.
     (c) On or before the 10th of each month, BOC shall submit an invoice (each, an “Other Charges Invoice”) to Coffeyville Resources covering all charges and other sums other than the Minimum Product Charge, if any, applicable to the immediately preceding month as well as all Product delivered prior to such month that was not covered by a prior invoice. All Other Charges Invoices shall be on a net cash basis, payable by Coffeyville Resources within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. In the event BOC has not received payment within thirty (30) days of the date of an Other Charges Invoice, BOC at its sole option may assess interest thereon at an annual rate equal to the prime rate then in effect at Chase Manhattan Bank, NA, plus two percent (2%) from and after the date such payment was due to the date when paid.
     (d) From time to time during the term of this Agreement, BOC shall have the right to increase the applicable unit prices for liquid Products in the pricing schedule set forth on Exhibit G hereto pursuant to this Section 4(d) by giving Coffeyville Resources written notice thereof. Said increased prices shall become effective thirty (30) days after the date of said notice; provided, however, that if Coffeyville Resources, within fifteen (15) days after the date of said notice, furnishes BOC with a bona fide, firm, written offer from a responsible seller offering to sell Coffeyville Resources comparable Product, in like quantities, under similar conditions and at a lower price, BOC shall within fifteen (15) days thereafter agree to either: (i) meet said lower price; or (ii) reinstate the price thereof in effect at the time of said notice of increase, whichever BOC, in its sole discretion, may elect.
     (e) During the Supply Period, Coffeyville Resources will provide a monthly credit to BOC for Lost Liquid Production (as “Lost Liquid Production” is defined below). The credit shall be calculated on a monthly basis using the following formula:
     ((***)/ton)[(Operating Days in Month)(120) — (Actual Tons Liquid Production)] = Credit
and will be capped at (***) in any single month. The (***)/ton price and (***)/month cap will adjust (up or down) on a monthly basis based upon the actual total power cost as billed to Coffeyville Resources by the City of Coffeyville, Kansas (expressed as $/KWH) compared to the actual total power cost in June 2005 (expressed as $/KWH). The actual total power cost in June

12


 

2005 was $.03965/KWH. As an example, attached as Exhibit K is the adjustment calculation per this paragraph for July 2005. For purposes of this Section 4(e), the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
          (i) “Operating Day” shall mean hours of operation in any calendar day during which BOC is providing all Products at the purity volumes and pressures provided for herein divided by 24.
          (ii) “Liquid Production” shall mean the sum of liquid Nitrogen Product and liquid Oxygen Product as determined by BOC scale tickets.

BOC shall be solely responsible for the proper disposal, in accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws and Permits of any and all byproducts and other emissions and wastes generated by the BOC Plant (including from CO2 Byproduct delivered to BOC) other than Products delivered to Coffeyville Resources hereunder. Except as permitted by Section 5(b) herein, Coffeyville Resources agrees that it will not sell or deliver CO2 Byproduct to anyone other than BOC, its affiliates and affiliates of Coffeyville Resources.
     (b) Subject to Paragraph 5(a) above, BOC and Coffeyville Resources hereby agree as follows:
          (i) For a period of no less than 90 days, commencing as of the effective date of this Agreement, which period shall be referred to as the “Initial Negotiating Period,” BOC and Coffeyville Resources shall negotiate in good faith to jointly develop projects relating to the marketing and sale of CO2 Byproduct produced by the Coffeyville Facilities (“CO2 Projects”) which are mutually acceptable to both parties. BOC and Coffeyville Resources further agree that each party can own up to a maximum of 50% of any individual CO2 Project.
          (ii) If BOC and Coffeyville fail to jointly develop CO2 Projects mutually acceptable to both parties during the Initial Negotiating Period, then, at any time after the expiration of the Initial Negotiating Period, either BOC or Coffeyville Resources (the “Proposing Party”) shall provide the other party (the “Receiving Party”) with written Notice of a Bona Fide Offer setting forth all terms of said Bona Fide Offer. Said Notice shall be provided in accordance with

13


 

Section 15 of this Agreement. A Bona Fide Offer may come from a third party, Coffeyville Resources or BOC.
          (iii) For a period of no less than 90 days, commencing as of the date written Notice of a Bona Fide Offer is received by the Receiving Party, BOC and Coffeyville Resources shall negotiate in good faith to consider the Bona Fide Offer. If BOC and Coffeyville Resources agree to accept the Bona Fide Offer, then, unless the parties agree otherwise, all profits, losses, tax credits and carbon sequestration credits earned in connection with the sale of CO2 Byproduct associated with the Bona Fide Offer shall be shared between BOC and Coffeyville Resources in the same proportion as the ownership proposed in connection with the related Bona Fide Offer. If, at the expiration of 90 days, BOC and Coffeyville Resources have not reached agreement as to whether to accept or reject the Bona Fide Offer, then the Proposing Party shall be authorized to accept the Bona Fide Offer, and shall have the exclusive right to retain 100% of all profits, tax credits and losses earned in connection with the sale of CO2 Byproduct to such Third Party Buyer. In that event, the Proposing Party shall indemnify and hold the Receiving Party, its directors, officers, agents, employees, subsidiaries, and affiliates, harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, judgments, liabilities or expenses arising out of or in any way connected with the Proposing Party’s use, transportation, marketing or sale of such CO2 Byproduct.
SECTION 6 TAXES
     (a) Coffeyville Resources shall pay the amount of all Federal, state and local taxes, however denominated (except taxes on BOC’s net income or for its general privilege to conduct business in any state), arising in connection with the production, sale or delivery of any Product hereunder, including, without limitation, all real and personal property taxes (and any payments associated with such taxes) applicable to the Facilities, or any part thereof. BOC agrees to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to secure such exemptions from real and personal property taxes as may be available now and from time to time with respect to the BOC Facilities. BOC will cooperate with Coffeyville Resources should Coffeyville Resources desire to contest any sales or other tax assessed by any governmental unit, all at Coffeyville Resources’ expense.
     (b) In the event that any tax covered by this Section 6 should be assessed against and paid by a party other than the party required hereunder to pay such tax, such other party shall promptly reimburse such party for such payment

BOC shall cooperate with Coffeyville Resources in obtaining and preserving any Permits necessary for the maintenance and operation of the Coffeyville Facilities. Prior to obtaining any Permit necessary for the maintenance or operation of the BOC Facility, BOC shall give

15


 

Coffeyville Resources notice thereof. If obtaining any Permit necessary for the maintenance or operation of the BOC Facility would have the direct or indirect effect of impairing Coffeyville Resources’ ownership, maintenance, operation and/or reasonably contemplated expansion of the Coffeyville Facilities, Coffeyville Resources shall give BOC notice thereof; and the parties shall cooperate to arrive at a fair and equitable resolution of such impairment.
     (e) BOC agrees to make such modifications to the BOC Facility as are required by governmental agencies or authorities, by the modification or change in interpretation of any applicable laws or Permits, or by the enactment or adoption of any new laws, so as to ensure that BOC’s maintenance and operation of the BOC Facility and Coffeyville Resources’ ownership, maintenance and operation of the Coffeyville Facilities, are in compliance therewith.
     (f) Other than any termination right Coffeyville Resources may have pursuant to the provisions of Section 13 hereof, Coffeyville Resources’ exclusive remedy for each unexcused failure on the part of BOC to deliver gaseous Product produced at the BOC Plant to Coffeyville Resources when required hereunder (including the delivery of gas that does not conform to the product specifications set forth in Paragraph I of Exhibit A hereto), whether or not such failure was caused, in whole or in part by any negligence, shall be to receive an abatement of the fees (together with any then applicable price adjustment) which Coffeyville Resources would otherwise have been obligated to pay to BOC pursuant to Section 4(a) of this Agreement from the date such failure occurs until such time as BOC resumes delivery of gaseous Product as required hereunder and all Products so delivered conform to the product specifications set forth in Paragraph I of Exhibit A hereto.
     (g) Other than any termination right Coffeyville Resources may have pursuant to the provisions of Section 13 hereof, Coffeyville Resources’ exclusive remedy for each unexcused failure on the part of BOC to deliver liquid Product from the Liquid Product Storage Facility or vaporized liquid product to Coffeyville Resources when required hereunder, whether or not such failure was caused, in whole or in part by any negligence, shall be to recover from BOC the difference between the cost to Coffeyville Resources of any reasonable purchase of Product in substitution for the Product that BOC so failed to deliver and the price of such quantity of Product hereunder, increased by any expenses incurred by Coffeyville Resources in connection with the procurement of the substitute Product and reduced by any expenses saved by Coffeyville Resources due to procurement of the substitute Product.
     (h) Other than any termination right Coffeyville Resources may have pursuant to the provisions of Section 13 hereof, Coffeyville Resources’ exclusive remedy for each unexcused failure or act on the part of BOC whereby liquid product or vaporized liquid product that does not conform to the product specifications set forth in Paragraph I of Exhibit A hereto is delivered from the Liquid Product Storage Facility to Coffeyville Resources, whether or not such failure or act was, in whole or in part, negligent, shall be to receive a refund of the price of such quantity of non-conforming product, or the replacement thereof with Product that does conform to said product specifications at no additional charge to Coffeyville Resources.
     (i) Except to the extent that BOC’s rights and obligations are materially adversely affected thereby, BOC shall provide all documents, reports, acknowledgments, consents to

16


 

assignments, certifications and other information reasonably requested by any person or entity, or group of persons or entities, extending credit or making any financial accommodations directly or indirectly to Coffeyville Resources, or for Coffeyville Resources’ benefit, for purposes of financing or refinancing in any manner any costs or expenses related to the construction, commissioning or operation of all or any part of the Gasification Project (each, a “Finance Party”). BOC shall cooperate with all Finance Parties to the fullest extent possible. BOC shall also enter into such amendments to this Agreement as Coffeyville Resources may reasonably request in order to comply with any requirements imposed by any Finance Party to the extent that BOC’s rights and obligations are not materially adversely affected thereby.
SECTION 10 METERS
     BOC shall install and maintain such metering as may be necessary hereunder. Such metering shall be inspected by BOC for accuracy at least once per year. In addition, such metering shall also be inspected and tested for accuracy at such other times as either party may reasonably elect. Coffeyville Resources shall be notified of the times such tests are to be made and may observe such tests. BOC shall bear the cost of all such tests, except those requested by Coffeyville Resources that show that the meter tested was accurate within two percent (2%). If any meter is found to be inaccurate by more than two percent (2%), any billings based on such meter shall be adjusted to offset such inaccuracy with respect to only those deliveries made during the thirty (30) day period prior to such test or during the latter half of the period of time since the said meter was last previously tested, whichever period of time is shorter.
SECTION 11 EXCUSED NON-PERFORMANCE
     (a) Any failure, in whole or in part, by either party timely to perform any obligation on its part to be performed under this Agreement (except the obligation to pay monies when due) shall be excused to the extent that such failure is caused by any circumstance which is not within the reasonable control of the party whose performance is prevented, restricted or otherwise interfered with, including without limitation, by any act of God, flood, storm, earthquake, fire, explosion, strikes, lockouts, industrial disputes or disturbances or other labor difficulty (regardless of the reasonableness of the demands of labor or the power of the party concerned to concede), riot, war, blockades, civil disorder, equipment breakdown or malfunction that was unavoidable through proper maintenance, failure of product machinery or transportation facilities that was unavoidable through proper maintenance, failure of or interference with utilities or other sources of supply, accident or by any order, request or decree of any governmental body or agency (each, a “Force Majeure”). Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure, the party affected thereby shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other party.
     (b) Each time that, due to any Force Majeure, BOC delivers less Product than is required by Coffeyville Resources under Section 3(a) or Coffeyville Resources is unable to take any Product for five (5) or more consecutive full days, that portion of the Minimum Product Charge (together with any then applicable price adjustment) which Coffeyville Resources would otherwise have been obligated to pay to BOC pursuant to this Agreement that is apportionable to such full days shall be abated. (Said number of full days shall be determined by dividing twenty-four into the number of hours during which any such failure to deliver continued and

17


 

disregarding any fractional remainder). If either BOC or Coffeyville Resources so elects in writing, the Supply Period shall be extended for two times the number of full days with respect to which such Minimum Product Charge was so abated.
     (c) Subject to BOC’s obligations pursuant to Paragraph 2(1) hereof, BOC shall perform routine maintenance (scheduled and unscheduled) on the BOC Facility in accordance with generally accepted industry practices, and any such maintenance shall not be deemed a breach under this Agreement.
SECTION 12 PRICE ADJUSTMENTS
     Annually during the Supply Period, the Minimum Product Charge and the unit prices for gaseous Product purchased by Coffeyville Resources hereunder shall be subject to price adjustment by BOC as set forth in Exhibit B hereto.
SECTION 13 TERM
     (a) This Agreement shall be in effect from the date first set forth above to the expiration or termination of the Supply Period.
     (b) Either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 13(b) at any time in the event the other party fails to perform any material obligation hereunder for reasons other than a Force Majeure or as a direct result of a breach by the other party (a “Material Breach”). If either party (the “Other Party”) considers the other party (a “Breaching Party”) to have committed a Material Breach, the Other Party may give to the Breaching Party a notice of Material Breach stating the act or circumstances contended to be a Material Breach and the section of the Agreement alleged to have been breached, and demanding that the Material Breach be cured. If the Breaching Party fails to cure the Material Breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice of Material Breach, the Other Party may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Breaching Party. If the nature of the Material Breach is such that it cannot be cured in thirty (30) days but a cure is commenced during such thirty (30) day period and diligently pursued thereafter, then such cure must be completed within 180 days from the date of notice of Material Breach, or the Other Party may terminate this Agreement on notice at any time after the expiration of such 180-day period unless such breach is then cured.
     (c) Either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other party upon (i) any failure by the other party to satisfy any final judgment, decree or order against the other party which has not been stayed or appealed within thirty (30) days after the entry thereof and which would materially adversely affect the other party’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement if not so satisfied, stayed or appealed, or (ii) the other party shall (A) be or become insolvent or generally fail to pay its debts as they become due, or (B) voluntarily file a petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization under the United States Bankruptcy Code, or (C) have filed involuntarily against it a petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization under the United States Bankruptcy Code, which petition has not been stayed or dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof, or (D) voluntarily initiate any act, process or

18


 

proceeding under any insolvency law or other statute or law providing for the modification or adjustment of the rights of creditors, or (E) have initiated involuntarily against it any act, process or proceeding under any insolvency law or other statute or law providing for the modification or adjustment of the rights of creditors; which act, process or proceeding has not been stayed or dismissed within sixty (60) days after the initiation thereof, or (iii) the other party is a party to any merger or consolidation in which it is not the surviving entity or is dissolved or liquidated.
     (d) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Coffeyville Resources pursuant to Section 13(b) or 13(c) hereof, Coffeyville Resources shall have the right and option to purchase the Facilities on an “as is” and “where is” basis from BOC at the applicable purchase price listed on Exhibit H hereto (such option shall be referred to herein as the “Option”). The term of the Option shall commence on the date of such termination and shall expire 180 days thereafter. Coffeyville Resources may exercise the Option by providing written notice to BOC of its election to exercise the Option. In the event that Coffeyville Resources elects to exercise the Option, BOC shall sell and convey to Coffeyville Resources, and Coffeyville Resources shall purchase from BOC, the Facilities. The closing of the purchase of the Facilities shall take place on a mutually agreeable business day within sixty (60) days following the date BOC receives Coffeyville Resources’ notice of its election to exercise the Option. At the closing, Coffeyville Resources shall pay BOC the purchase price (as calculated above), and BOC shall transfer and assign the Facilities to Coffeyville Resources and shall deliver to Coffeyville a bill of sale and such other appropriate instruments of transfer and physical possession as shall, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for Coffeyville Resources, be effective to vest in Coffeyville Resources good and marketable title to the Facilities.
SECTION 14 ASSIGNMENT
     This Agreement is not assignable by either BOC or Coffeyville Resources except upon the written consent of the other party; provided, however, that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Coffeyville Resources may assign this Agreement as contemplated or required by its financing scheme or to an affiliate without the consent of BOC so long as BOC’s rights and obligations are not materially adversely affected thereby. The Parties agree that for purposes of this Section 14, BOC’s rights and obligations shall not be deemed to be materially adversely affected by an assignment so long as Coffeyville Resources remains secondarily liable under this Agreement following such assignment.
SECTION 15 NOTICES
     Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally or sent by telex, telecopy, facsimile transmission or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), addressed as provided below.

     (b) EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED HEREIN, NEITHER PARTY HAS MADE ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
SECTION 17 CONFIDENTIALITY
     The parties acknowledge and agree that to the extent either party receives any proprietary or confidential information regarding operations of the other (“Confidential Information”), such Confidential Information represents valuable information to the party disclosing such Confidential Information (the “Disclosing Party’), and the party receiving such Confidential Information (the “Receiving Party’) agrees (a) not to disclose any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to any third party without the written consent of the Disclosing Party, (b) not to use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose, other than to accomplish the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, (c) to limit access to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to the Receiving Party’s employees who are directly involved with the transactions described in this Agreement, (d) to inform each employee to whom the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information is disclosed of the restrictions as to the use and disclosure of such confidential Information and to ensure that each such employee shall observe such restrictions, and (e) to return all of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information upon termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 18 RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES
     Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the parties will in good faith attempt to resolve promptly and amicably any dispute (which term includes the failure to reach any agreement or grant any approval contemplated hereunder) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement pursuant to this Section 18. In the event that a party to this Agreement has reasonable grounds to believe that the other party hereto has failed to fulfill any obligation hereunder, that its expectation of receiving due performance under this Agreement may be impaired, or that any other type of dispute between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement exists, such party will promptly notify the other in writing of the substance of its belief. The party receiving such notice must respond in writing within thirty (30) of receipt of such notice, which response must (i) provide evidence of cure of the condition specified or provide an explanation of why it believes that its performance is in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (ii) specify three (3) proposed dates, all of which must be within thirty (30) days from the date of the response, for a meeting to resolve the dispute. The claiming party will then select one (1) of the three (3) dates, and a dispute resolution meeting will be held on that date, which meeting shall be attended by a representative of each party with the power to settle the dispute and at which time the representatives shall engage in good faith discussions in an effort to resolve the dispute. If such representatives fail to resolve the dispute at such meeting, they will work together to resolve the dispute for a fifteen (15) day period following the meeting. If the dispute is not resolved within such fifteen (15) day period, the representatives shall refer the matter to the two individuals with primary operational responsibility for the respective parties at the level immediately subordinate to the respective chief executive officers of the parties. If such individuals fail to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days, despite good faith attempts to do so, the parties will be free to pursue the remedies allowed under applicable law without prejudice. Regardless of the nature of the dispute that exists between the parties, both parties must continue to perform their obligations under this Agreement during any dispute resolution efforts.
SECTION 19 INDEMNIFICATION
     (a) BOC agrees to indemnify and hold Coffeyville Resources, its directors, officers, agents, employees, subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Coffeyville Entities”) harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, judgments, liabilities or expenses for injury, sickness, disease or death to employees or other persons, or damage to property (subject to the limitations of Section 19(f) hereof) arising out of or in any way connected with BOC’s design, engineering, construction, installation, operation or maintenance of the BOC Facility or failure to comply with applicable laws or Permits related thereto or breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement. BOC agrees to defend, on behalf of the Coffeyville Entities, any suits, actions or proceedings arising out of or in any manner connected with any of the aforesaid causes and to reimburse the Coffeyville Entities for reasonable attorneys’ fees, settlements, losses, damages, satisfactions, costs or other expenses incurred by the Coffeyville Entities arising out of or in any manner connected with such suits, actions or proceedings. BOC’s obligation to indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold the Coffeyville Entities harmless shall extend to and include, but not be limited to, claims, demands, judgments, liabilities and expenses resulting from the personal injury, sickness, disease or death of any persons, regardless of whether BOC has paid the person

22


 

under the provisions of any workers’ compensation statute or law, or other similar federal or state legislation for the protection of employees. BOC’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall exclude any liabilities (i) arising from any breach for which exclusive remedies are otherwise provided hereunder or (ii) to the extent caused by the negligence of Coffeyville Resources, its employees, agents or subcontractors.
     (b) BOC shall, at its sole expense, defend any claims, suits, actions or proceedings brought against the Coffeyville Entities based on a claim that the design, engineering, construction, installation, operation or maintenance of the Facilities or the use of any equipment, process or technology, or any part thereof, furnished or manufactured by BOC or any of BOC’s agents or subcontractors under this Agreement constitutes any infringement of U.S. patents or copyrights or constitutes an improper use of any other proprietary rights (except where such infringement or improper use is caused by the use of the Facilities in combination with any other equipment or process not supplied by, on behalf, or at the request of BOC or any of BOC’s agents or subcontractors or previously agreed in writing by BOC) (an “Alleged Infringement”), and BOC shall pay all damages and costs awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction unappealed or unappealable against Coffeyville Resources, provided that BOC is notified promptly in writing of any such claim (except that the failure to promptly provide such notice shall not release BOC from such obligations except to the extent BOC is materially prejudiced thereby), shall be given adequate authority, information and assistance for the defense of same and shall have the full control of the defense of any such suit, action or proceeding. BOC’s obligation to pay damages and costs under the foregoing sentence shall only apply to the extent the Alleged Infringement is caused by BOC. Coffeyville Resources shall have the right to participate at its own expense. BOC agrees to reimburse the Coffeyville Entities for any claims, settlements, losses, damages, satisfactions, costs or other expenses incurred by the Coffeyville Entities arising out of or in any manner connected with such claims, suits, actions or proceedings, to the extent the Alleged Infringement is caused by BOC. At BOC’s option, and at its expense, BOC may: (a) procure the right to continue using the Facilities as contemplated under this Agreement; or (b) replace the Facilities with non-infringing equipment (or modify the Facilities), provided that such replaced or modified Facilities shall not differ functionally from the original Facilities in any material way.
     (c) Coffeyville Resources agrees to indemnify and hold BOC, its directors, officers, agents, employees, subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “BOC Entities”) harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, judgments, liabilities and expenses for injury, sickness, disease or death to employees or other persons, or damage to property owned by parties other than BOC Entities, arising out of or in any way connected with Coffeyville Resources’ design, engineering, construction, installation, operation or maintenance of the Coffeyville Facilities or failure to comply with applicable laws or Permits related thereto or breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Coffeyville Resources agrees to defend, on behalf of the BOC Entities, any suits, actions or proceedings arising out of or in any manner connected with any of the aforesaid causes and to reimburse the BOC Entities for reasonable attorneys’ fees, settlements, losses, damages, satisfactions, costs or other expenses incurred by the BOC Entities arising out of or in any manner connected with such suits, actions or proceedings. Coffeyville Resources’ obligation to indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold the BOC Entities harmless shall extend to and include, but not be limited to, claims, demands, judgments, liabilities and expenses

23


 

resulting from the personal injury, sickness, disease or death of any persons, regardless of whether Coffeyville Resources has paid the person under the provisions of any workers’ compensation statute or law, or other similar federal or state legislation for the protection of employees. Purchaser’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall exclude any liabilities (i) arising from any breach for which exclusive remedies are otherwise provided hereunder or (ii) to the extent caused by the negligence of BOC, its employees, agents or subcontractors.
     (d) Each Party agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other Party from any loss, expense, claim, liability, demand or judgment arising out of or resulting from bodily injury to its employees while on property controlled by, and with the permission of, the other Party, except to the extent caused by the negligence of the other Party, its employees, agents or subcontractors.
     (e) A party entitled to indemnification under any provision of this Agreement is referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party,” and a party required to provide such indemnification is referred to herein as an “Indemnifying Party.” Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action or the making of any claim, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Indemnifying Party, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing thereof. In case any such action or claim is brought against any Indemnified Party, and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement or making thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that the Indemnifying Party may elect by written notice to the Indemnified Party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Party, to assume the defense thereof. Upon receipt of notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense of such action or claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under such indemnification for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof.
     (f) NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS OR DAMAGES DUE TO LOSS OF USE OF A FACILITY OR INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES CAUSED BY OR ARISING OUT OF, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION.
SECTION 20 INSURANCE
     BOC, at its sole cost and expense, shall secure and maintain during the term of this Agreement, the following minimum insurance coverage with respect to the BOC Plant and its operations:
  (1)   Workers’ compensation insurance which fully complies with applicable workers’ compensation and occupational disease laws and which shall cover all of BOC’s employees performing services in connection with matters contemplated by this Agreement. BOC shall obtain and provide to Coffeyville Resources a valid waiver of any right of subrogation against Coffeyville Resources or its employees

24


 

      for any injury or death to a person covered by or compensated under BOC’s workers’ compensation insurance, which waiver shall be executed by each of BOC’s workers’ compensation insurance carriers.
 
  (2)   Employer’s liability insurance with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence.
 
  (3)   Comprehensive commercial general liability insurance including products and completed operations, broad form property damage and broad form contractual liability, with a limit for bodily injury or death of not less than $10,000,000 per occurrence and a limit for property damage of not less than $10,000,000 per occurrence, or a combined single limit for bodily injury, death and property damage of not less $10,000,000 per occurrence. The annual aggregate limit shall not be less than $20,000,000. Coffeyville Resources shall be listed as an additional insured on such policies.

BOC shall obtain and provide to Coffeyville Resources a valid waiver of any right of subrogation against Coffeyville Resources for damage to any property of BOC covered by BOC’s property insurance, which waiver shall be executed by each of BOC’s property insurance carriers. Similarly, Coffeyville Resources shall obtain and provide to BOC a valid waiver of any right of subrogation against BOC for damage to the property of Coffeyville Resources covered by Coffeyville Resources’ property insurance, which waiver shall be executed by each of Coffeyville Resources’ property insurance carriers. The insurance requirements listed above are the minimum requirements that are acceptable to Coffeyville Resources as of the date hereof and shall not be considered indicative of the ultimate amounts and types of insurance needed by BOC. Neither failure to comply nor full compliance with the insurance provisions of this Agreement shall limit or relieve BOC from its obligations under this Agreement. Upon request of Coffeyville Resources, BOC shall promptly furnish Coffeyville Resources certificates of insurance on forms reasonably approved by Coffeyville Resources listing all policies required of BOC above. Such certificates must provide for not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to Coffeyville Resources in the event of cancellation, nonrenewal or material change of any of such policies.
SECTION 21 TAKING & CASUALTY
     (a) In the event that the Facilities, or any material part thereof, shall be taken by any public authority or for any public use, or by the action of any public authority, then this Agreement may be terminated at the election of either BOC or Coffeyville Resources. Such

25


 

election shall be made by the giving of notice by one party to the other within thirty (30) days after the right of election accrues. For purposes of this subsection (a), what constitutes a “material part” of the Facilities shall be reasonably determined by BOC.
     In the event of such a taking, Coffeyville Resources shall be entitled to the entire award, except that BOC shall be entitled to receive any portion of the award made specifically for damages sustained to BOC’s equipment, trade fixtures, moving expenses, the unamortized cost of its leasehold improvements, or loss of any portion of its business.
     If neither BOC nor Coffeyville Resources exercises any right of election provided in this subsection (a), this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and BOC shall proceed to diligently and expeditiously repair or rebuild the Facilities to as nearly as possible the same condition as prior to the taking; provided, however, that the Minimum Product Charge (together with any then applicable price adjustment) which Coffeyville Resources would otherwise have been obligated to pay to BOC pursuant to this Agreement shall be abated from the date of the taking until such time as the Facilities are so repaired or rebuilt. To the extent that the awards or payments are insufficient to repair or rebuild the Facilities, BOC shall bear all excess costs of repairing and rebuilding the Facilities.
     (b) In the event that the Facilities, or any material part thereof, shall be destroyed or damaged by fire or casualty, and such destruction or damage is so severe that, based on any reasonable estimates (which BOC shall deliver to Coffeyville Resources within thirty (30) days of such destruction or damage), the Facilities cannot be placed in proper condition for use within sixteen (16) months of the date of the fire or casualty, then this Agreement may be terminated at the election of BOC or Coffeyville Resources. Such election shall be made by the giving of notice by one party to the other within sixty (60) days after the right of election accrues. For purposes of this subsection (b), what constitutes a “material part” of the Facilities shall be reasonably determined by BOC.
     In the event of termination pursuant to this subsection (b), BOC shall be entitled to the entire sum of insurance proceeds attributable to the buildings, fixtures and other property which is not owned by Coffeyville Resources, which proceeds are received by either BOC or Coffeyville Resources in connection with the fire or other casualty. BOC shall be entitled to receive the proceeds of any insurance purchased by BOC to cover its personal property, equipment and business operations.
     If neither BOC nor Coffeyville Resources exercises any right of election provided in this subsection (b), this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and BOC shall proceed to diligently and expeditiously repair or rebuild the Facilities to as nearly as possible the same condition as prior to the taking, damage or destruction, provided, however, that the Minimum Product Charge (together with any then applicable price adjustment) which Coffeyville Resources would otherwise have been obligated to pay to BOC pursuant to this Agreement shall be abated from the date of the fire or casualty until such time as the Facilities are so repaired or rebuilt. To the extent that the proceeds of insurance are insufficient to repair or rebuild the Facilities, BOC shall bear all excess costs of repairing and rebuilding the Facilities.

26

     (e) The parties may, from time to time, use purchase orders, acknowledgments or other instruments to order, acknowledge or specify delivery times, suspensions, quantities or other similar specific matters concerning the Product or relating to performance hereunder, but the same are intended for convenience and record purposes only and any provisions which may be contained therein are not intended to (nor shall they serve to) add to or otherwise amend or modify any provision of this Agreement, even if signed or accepted on behalf of either party with or without qualification.

PRICE ADJUSTMENTS
I.   PROCEDURES
  A.   Price adjustments shall be determined annually by BOC preparing a statement setting forth the change in the relevant index referred to below which may have occurred during the preceding calendar year and the price adjustment resulting therefrom, together with supporting computations prepared in the manner set forth in Paragraph II of this Exhibit B. Each such price adjustment shall be effective for the entire calendar year during which such statement is so prepared, upon notice to Coffeyville Resources by BOC.
 
  B.   If the index referred to below is modified in any significant way or is no longer published, a new, substantially equivalent index shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties.
II.   COMPUTATIONS
 
    The following computations determine whether the monthly Minimum Product Charge and the unit prices for gaseous Product sold hereunder shall be increased or decreased:
 
    The monthly Minimum Product Charge and the unit prices for gaseous Product will increase or decrease based upon the change in the annual average hourly earnings for the Series ID - ceu3232500006 (as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics and hereafter referred to as “CAPI”) above a base level, which shall be the 2005 Annual Average CAPI. The applicable monthly Minimum Product Charge for a given year will be calculated in accordance with the formula below:
                                                         
 
  CMPC   =   BMPC   X   (     1     +   CAPI2   -   CAPI1     )      
                                                 
                                    CAPI1            
     where:
             
 
  CMPC   =   Current monthly Minimum Product Charge, and each gaseous Product price, individually
 
 
  BMPC   =   Base monthly Minimum Product Charge, and each gaseous Product price, individually, as follows:
 
 
          (***) — Base Monthly Minimum Product Charge
(***) — Base Gaseous Oxygen
 
          (***) — Base Gaseous Nitrogen
 
          (***) — Base CDA Product

  CAPI1   =   2005 Annual Average CAPI
 
 
  CAPI2   =   Most recent Annual Average CAPI

Crude Oil supplied under this Agreement shall be solely for use at the Refinery. On and after the Commencement Date, in accordance with Supplier’s obligation to purchase Crude Oil hereunder and provided it has actually received such Crude Oil from a Counterparty, Supplier agrees to sell and deliver to Coffeyville, and Coffeyville agrees to purchase and receive, the Refinery’s requirements for Crude Oil (other than Gathered Crude) as set forth herein. Subject to Section 4.10, Supplier shall sell the Crude Oil to Coffeyville at the Delivery Point in volumes as Coffeyville may require for processing in the Refinery. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.1, if, as a result of Supplier’s default hereunder, Supplier does not timely deliver in accordance with the Monthly Delivery Schedule any volumes required by Coffeyville for processing at the Refinery, Coffeyville shall have the full and complete right to acquire such volumes of Crude Oil from any Person for processing in the Refinery and this Agreement shall not apply to such purchases by Coffeyville. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.1, if, as result of Coffeyville’s default hereunder, Supplier has elected to exercise its right not to supply Crude Oil to Coffeyville, Coffeyville shall have the full and complete right to acquire from any Person any volumes of Crude Oil required by Coffeyville for processing at the Refinery and this Agreement shall not apply to such purchases by Coffeyville except that, for each Barrel of Crude Oil acquired by, or on behalf of, Coffeyville pursuant to this sentence, Coffeyville shall owe to Supplier an amount equal to the Fixed Supply Service Fee, which Supplier may invoice to Coffeyville pursuant to Section 7.3(c); provided, that, the payment of such Fixed Supply Service Fee shall in no way affect Supplier’s rights hereunder or otherwise with respect to such default by Coffeyville.
     4.2 Title Risk of Loss and Custody, Title to and risk of loss of the Crude Oil shall pass from Supplier to Coffeyville at the Delivery Point. Coffeyville shall assume custody of the Crude Oil as it passes the Delivery Point. Before custody transfer, Supplier shall be solely responsible for compliance with all Applicable Laws, including all Environmental Laws, pertaining to the possession, handling, use and processing of such Crude Oil and shall indemnify and hold harmless Coffeyville, its Affiliates and their agents, representatives, contractors, employees, directors and officers, for all Liabilities directly or indirectly arising therefrom except to the extent such Liabilities are caused by or attributable to any of the matters for which Coffeyville is indemnifying Supplier pursuant to Section 19.2. At and after custody transfer at the Delivery Point, Coffeyville shall be solely responsible for compliance with all Applicable Laws, including all Environmental Laws, pertaining to the possession, handling, use and processing of such Crude Oil and shall indemnify and hold harmless Supplier, its Affiliates and their agents, representatives, contractors, employees, directors and officers, for all Liabilities directly or indirectly arising therefrom. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Supplier and Coffeyville agree that Coffeyville shall have an insurable interest in Crude Oil that is subject to a Purchase Contract and that Coffeyville may, at its election and with prior notice to Supplier, endeavor to insure the Crude Oil. If pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Coffeyville bears the loss of any Crude Oil, then any insurance payment to Supplier made to

12


 

cover same shall be promptly paid over by Supplier to Coffeyville. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Crude Oil Gains and Losses shall be borne by and for the account of Coffeyville and any Catastrophic Loss shall be borne by and for the account of Supplier.
     4.3 Acquisition of Crude Oil.
     (a) From time to time during the term of this Agreement, Coffeyville shall endeavor to identify quantities of Crude Oil that Coffeyville wishes to have Supplier acquire and resell to Coffeyville for processing at the Refinery. Coffeyville shall, in accordance with the procedures set forth below, agree to the quantity and quality of any Crude Oil acquired by Supplier for resale to Coffeyville prior to Supplier’s agreeing to any such acquisition of Crude Oil from any Counterparty. The failure of any Crude Oil that Supplier hereunder sells to Coffeyville to meet the specifications or other quality requirements applicable thereto as stated in Supplier’s Purchase Contract for that Crude Oil shall be for the sole account of Coffeyville and shall not entitle Coffeyville to any reduction in the amounts due by it to Supplier hereunder; provided, however, that any claims made by Supplier with respect to such non-conforming Crude Oil shall be for Coffeyville’s account and resolved in accordance with Section 4.6.
     (b) Coffeyville shall negotiate and liaise with respect to Crude Oil purchases in accordance with the guidelines (the “Transaction Guidelines”) attached hereto as Exhibit B and as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The Transaction Guidelines authorize certain of Coffeyville’s employees to discuss and negotiate with Crude Oil suppliers (each a “Counterparty” and collectively, “Counterparties”) the terms and conditions of contracts to purchase Crude Oil (each, a “Purchase Contract”) on Supplier’s behalf. Attached to the Transaction Guidelines is a list of Counterparties with whom Coffeyville is authorized to negotiate purchases of Crude Oil. The list of Counterparties may be modified by Supplier from time to time effective upon written notice by Supplier to Coffeyville; provided, that, Supplier shall not remove any Counterparty from such list if at such time Supplier is willing to enter into crude oil purchase and sale transactions with such Counterparty on Supplier’s own behalf as part of its ongoing general crude oil business. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.3 (b) to the contrary, if Coffeyville determines, in its reasonable judgment, that the operational necessities of the Refinery require the Refinery to run a particular volume of Crude Oil that is available from a Counterparty not on Supplier’s approved list of Counterparties, then Coffeyville may execute a contract to acquire such Crude Oil and promptly thereafter Coffeyville shall enter into a Purchase Contract with Supplier under Section 4.3(d) pursuant to which it shall sell such Crude Oil to Supplier and Supplier and Coffeyville shall enter into a corresponding Sale Contract under Section 4.3(e) under which Supplier shall sell such Crude Oil to Coffeyville; provided that in such event, Supplier shall have no responsibility prior to the sale of such Crude Oil by Coffeyville to Supplier, but on or after the sale of such Crude Oil to Supplier, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall have full force and effect.
     (c) The terms and conditions of each Purchase Contract must conform in all material respects to the Transaction Guidelines unless, prior to entering into such Purchase Contract, Supplier approves any material deviation from the Transaction

13


 

Guidelines. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Coffeyville will not negotiate any Purchase Contract with a delivery period occurring after the second month following the expected Trade Date of such Purchase Contract or occurring later than the then current Expiration Date hereof.
     (d) Coffeyville shall have no authority to bind Supplier to, or enter into on Supplier’s behalf, any Purchase Contract. If Coffeyville has negotiated an offer from a Counterparty for a quantity of Crude Oil that Coffeyville wishes to have Supplier acquire, Coffeyville may indicate to such Counterparty the conditional acceptance of such offer, which shall be specifically subject to obtaining the agreement of Supplier to such offer. Promptly after giving such conditional acceptance, Coffeyville shall apprise Supplier in writing of the terms of such offer and Supplier shall promptly determine and advise Coffeyville as to whether Supplier agrees to accept such offer. If Supplier indicates its desire to accept such offer, then Supplier shall promptly formally communicate its acceptance of such offer directly to such Counterparty (with a copy to Coffeyville), resulting in a binding Purchase Contract between Supplier and Counterparty.
     (e) Concurrently with Supplier’s agreement to any Purchase Contract, Coffeyville and Supplier shall automatically, and without any further action by either party, be deemed to have entered into a forward contract under which Supplier is selling and Coffeyville is acquiring the same quantity of Crude Oil identified in such Purchase Contract (each, a “Sale Contract”). The price per Barrel under each Sale Contract shall be (***). The delivery period for the Crude Oil subject to a Sale Contract shall be determined in accordance with the Monthly Delivery Schedule prepared by Coffeyville and Supplier, and shall otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly stated in the confirmation for a Sale Contract, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to the sale transaction that is subject thereto.
     4.4. Contract Documentation, Confirmations and Conditions.
     (a) Each Purchase Contract will be documented and confirmed between Supplier and the relevant Counterparty in such manner as they elect.
     (b) Promptly after entering into a Sale Contract, Supplier shall prepare and provide to Coffeyville via facsimile or electronic transmission the confirmation for such Sale Contract (a “Sale Confirmation”), which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit F. The terms of such Sale Confirmation shall be binding on the Parties absent manifest error. The terms of this Agreement shall apply to any Sale Contract evidenced by a Sale Confirmation, except to the extent expressly agreed otherwise in such Sale Confirmation.
     (c) Notwithstanding any failure of Supplier to provide a Sale Confirmation with respect to a Sale Contract or Coffeyville to agree thereto, the Parties shall be bound by

the terms of such Sale Contract, which shall be a legally binding contact between the Parties from the moment it is deemed entered into pursuant to Section 4.3(e) above.
     (d) Supplier’s obligations to deliver Crude Oil under this Agreement and each of the Sale Contracts shall be subject to (i) Coffeyville’s identifying and negotiating potential Purchase Contacts that are acceptable to Supplier relating to a sufficient quantity of Crude Oil to meet the Refinery’s requirements and (ii) Coffeyville’s performing its obligations hereunder with respect to pipeline nominations, vessel chartering (to the extent of Coffeyville’s obligations under Section 4.8 to give timely notifications and consents) and Crude Oil blending in a timely, competent and efficient manner.
     4.5 DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTY OF TITLE WITH RESPECT TO CRUDE OIL DELIVERED HEREUNDER, SUPPLIER MAKES NO WARRANTY, CONDITION OR OTHER REPRESENTATION, WRITTEN OR ORAL, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS OR SUITABILITY OF THE CRUDE OIL FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE. FURTHER, SUPPLIER MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION THAT THE CRUDE OIL CONFORMS TO THE SPECIFICATIONS IDENTIFIED IN SUPPLIER’S CONTRACT WITH THE COUNTERPARTY.
     4.6 Claims Handling.
     (a) The Parties shall consult with each other and coordinate how to handle and resolve any claims arising in the ordinary course of business (including claims related to Crude Oil, pipeline or ocean transportation, and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising hereunder between Supplier and any of its vendors who supplies goods or services in conjunction with Supplier’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement) made by or against Supplier. In all instances wherein claims are made by a third party against Supplier which will be for the account of Coffeyville, Coffeyville shall have the right, subject to Section 4,6(b), to either direct Supplier to take commercially reasonable actions in the handling of such claims or assume the handling of such claim in the name of Supplier, all at Coffeyville’s cost and expense. To the extent that Coffeyville believes that any claim should be made by Supplier for the account of Coffeyville against any third party (whether a Counterparty, terminal facility, pipeline, storage facility or otherwise), and subject to Section 4.6(b), Supplier will take any commercially reasonable actions as requested by Coffeyville either directly, or by allowing Coffeyville to do so, to prosecute such claim all at Coffeyville’s cost and expense and all recoveries resulting from the prosecution of such claim shall be for the account of Coffeyville. Supplier shall, in a commercially reasonable manner, cooperate with Coffeyville in prosecuting any such claim and shall be entitled to assist in the prosecution of such claim at Coffeyville’s expense.
     (b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.6(a) to the contrary, Supplier may notify Coffeyville that Supplier is retaining control over the resolution of any claim referred in Section 4.6(a) if Supplier, in its reasonable judgment, has determined that it has commercially reasonable business considerations for doing so based on any relationships that Supplier or any of its Affiliates had, has or may have with the third

15


 

party involved in such claim; provided that, subject to such considerations, Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such claim, at Coffeyville’s expense and for Coffeyville’s account. In addition, any claim that is or becomes subject of Article 19 shall be handled and resolved in accordance with the provisions of Article 19.
     4.7 Pipeline Nominations.
     (a) Prior to the beginning of a month, Supplier shall be responsible for making pipeline and terminal nominations for that month; provided that, Supplier’s obligation to make such nominations shall be conditioned on its receiving from Coffeyville the Monthly Delivery Schedule for that month a sufficient number of days prior to the beginning of that month so that Supplier can make such nominations within the lead times required by such pipelines and terminals. Coffeyville shall be responsible for performing all other nominating and scheduling activities relating to the Crude Oil subject to this Agreement, including without limitation those nominating and scheduling activities described on Exhibit C to this Agreement. In the event such nominating and scheduling activities relating to the Crude Oil are required by pipelines or terminals to be made by Supplier, Coffeyville shall provide to Supplier information in a timely manner in order to make such nominations or other scheduling actions. Supplier shall not be responsible if a Pipeline System is unable to accept Supplier’s nomination or if the Pipeline System must allocate Crude Oil among its shippers.
     (b) Coffeyville shall have direct contact with the Terminal and pipeline personnel and will direct, as Supplier’s agent, the daily transportation and blending of Crude Oil in the Terminal.
     4.8 Vessel Chartering. Supplier shall be responsible for vessel chartering. Supplier will advise Coffeyville from time to time of vessel chartering opportunities, and shall recommend to Coffeyville if, in Supplier’s reasonable opinion, Coffeyville should authorize the chartering of a particular vessel. Upon such authorization from Coffeyville, Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to charter such vessel. Coffeyville shall be permitted hereunder to recommend to Supplier from time to time particular vessel chartering opportunities which become known to Coffeyville. To the extent that Supplier agrees that a particular vessel chartering opportunity recommended by Coffeyville is reasonable, Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to charter such vessel. Subject to Coffeyville’s prior consent, Supplier shall make all nominations of vessels and shall negotiate all chartering aspects with the relevant charterparties, including any inspection rights and insurance provisions, and shall otherwise take any and all actions required for the ocean transportation of the Crude Oil. Coffeyville shall give Supplier sufficient advance notice of its chartering requirements to permit Supplier’s timely review and execution thereof. Supplier’s arrangements pursuant to this Section shall be subject to Coffeyville’s prior consent and standard receiving terminal approval. Supplier shall promptly document and research all demurrage claims; provided, however, that the settlement of demurrage claims will be in accordance with Section 4.6. In meeting its obligations under this Section, Supplier shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recommend vessel charters to Coffeyville that are at reasonably competitive rates taking into account safety, reliability and other relevant considerations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each vessel chartered or used for transport of

16


 

Crude Oil by Supplier shall satisfy the following chartering standards: (i) a vessel shall be a maximum of 20 years old, although vessels no older than 15 years are preferred and the Parties should use commercially reasonable efforts to have such 15-year old or younger vessels constitute the substantial majority of the vessels chartered hereunder, (ii) a vessel shall at the time it is chartered have been approved by the vetting departments of at least two major oil companies, although Supplier may in its discretion accept vessels that have been approved by the vetting department of one major oil company, (iii) a vessel shall be ISPS compliant when chartered and shall remain so for the period of the charter, (iv) a vessel shall carry a minimum of $1,000,000,000 in pollution coverage, and (v) a vessel shall otherwise comply with any local and/or country requirements that apply to such vessel and any requirements of a Counterparty. To the extent that Coffeyville is sharing a vessel on a co-freight basis, the cost of the vessel charter shall be shared proportionately between the owners of the Crude Oil. If rebates or cost reductions of any type are received by or due to Supplier for any reason related to a particular vessel charter, such rebates or price reductions shall be for the account of Coffeyville.
     4.9 Copies of Communications. Each Party shall promptly provide to the other copies of any and all written communications and documents between it and any third party which in any way relate to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including written communications and documents with Pipeline Systems, Counterparties and/or any communications and documents related to the nominating, scheduling and/or chartering of vessels.
     4.10 Monthly Delivery Schedule. Prior to the 25th day of each month, the Parties shall consult regarding the Monthly Delivery Schedule for the following month period. Coffeyville shall provide to Supplier the Monthly Delivery Schedule on or prior the 25th day of the month for the following calendar month, which Monthly Delivery Schedule may be adjusted as required for operational purposes during such calendar month.
     4.11 Maximum Daily Volume. Based on normal operating conditions at the Refinery and in the absence of a Force Majeure affecting the Refinery, the maximum daily volume of Crude Oil to be supplied by Supplier to the Delivery Point shall not exceed the Maximum Volume.
     4.12 Acknowledgment. Coffeyville acknowledges and agrees that (1) Supplier is a merchant of Crude Oil and may, from time to time, be dealing with prospective Counterparties, or pursuing trading or hedging strategies, in connection with aspects of Supplier’s business which are unrelated hereto and that such dealings and such trading or hedging strategies may be different from or opposite to those being pursued by or for Coffeyville, (2) Supplier may, in its sole discretion, determine whether to advise Coffeyville of any potential transaction with a Counterparty and prior to advising Coffeyville of any such potential transaction Supplier may, in its discretion, determine not to pursue such transaction or to pursue such transaction in connection with another aspect of Supplier’s business and Supplier shall have no liability of any nature to Coffeyville as a result of any such determination, (3) Supplier has no fiduciary or trust obligations of any nature with respect to the Refinery or Coffeyville, (4) Supplier may enter into transactions and purchase oil for its own account or the account of others at prices more favorable than those being paid by Coffeyville hereunder and (5) nothing herein shall be construed to prevent Supplier, or any of its partners, officers, employees or Affiliates, in any way

17


 

from purchasing, selling or otherwise trading in crude oil or any other commodity for its or their own account or for the account of others, whether prior to, simultaneously with or subsequent to any transaction under this Agreement.
ARTICLE 5
RESALE OF CRUDE OIL
     5.1 Resale of Crude Oil. Prior to the delivery of Crude Oil to the Delivery Point, Coffeyville may direct that Supplier sell Crude Oil on Coffeyville’s behalf to a third-party purchaser and any gains or losses from such sales shall be for the account of Coffeyville; provided that, in determining any such gain or loss, Supplier shall (i) allocate from the Spread Account any Average Spread Adjustment that, had such Crude Oil been delivered to Coffeyville on the then expected schedule, would have been applied to the per Barrel price invoiced to Coffeyville, it being further agreed that if such Average Spread Adjustment cannot then be determined, Supplier will make such allocation from the Spread Account in a commercially reasonable manner based on the items then reflected in such account, and (ii) Supplier shall include a charge to Coffeyville equal to the product of the Fixed Supply Service Fee and the number of Barrels of Crude Oil sold to such third-party purchaser.
ARTICLE 6
CRUDE OIL PURCHASE COSTS
     6.1 Payment Responsibility. Supplier shall be responsible for paying Counterparty invoices for the Crude Oil as well as for ocean-going freight, inspection fees, any charges (other than Taxes) imposed by a Governmental Authority, wharfage and dock fees, vessel demurrage, port expenses and ship’s agent fees, import charges, waterborne insurance premiums, fees and expenses, broker’s fees (as agreed upon by the Parties), load port charges and liabilities (such liabilities not to include any liabilities resulting from a Catastrophic Loss), pipeline transportation costs, pipeline transfer and pumpover fees, pipeline throughput and scheduling charges, blending, tankage and throughput charges, pipeline, demurrage, customs duties and user fees, superfund, merchandise processing, harbor maintenance fees, and any other fees imposed on Supplier. All such costs paid by Supplier shall be treated as “Crude Oil Purchase Costs.” for which Coffeyville shall reimburse Supplier as provided in Section 7.3. Supplier shall promptly provide Coffeyville copies of all Counterparty and vendor invoices. All refunds or adjustments of any type received by Supplier related to the Crude Oil Purchase Costs shall be a part of the Monthly True-Up Payment.
     6.2 Crude Oil Gains and Losses. All Crude Oil Gains and Losses not covered by a Pipeline System tariff shall be for Coffeyville’s account and shall be handled in accordance with Section 4.6. With respect to Crude Oil Gains and Losses which are covered by a Pipeline System tariff, Supplier shall pass through to Coffeyville the positive value of any such Crude Oil gains and the negative value of any such Crude Oil losses provided for by the applicable Pipeline System tariff by adding or deducting, as appropriate, such amount to or from the Monthly True-Up Payment.

18


 

ARTICLE 7
PURCHASE PRICING AND DAILY INVOICING OF CRUDE OIL
     7.1 Determination of Volumes. The volumes of Crude Oil sold to Coffeyville shall be determined by reference to the volumes actually invoiced by the Counterparties to Supplier. During the Term of this Agreement, if a volume of Crude Oil is borrowed by Coffeyville from any entity for blending purposes, such borrowed volume of Crude Oil shall be repaid to the lender of such volume within a reasonable period of time, and such Crude Oil for repayment of borrowed volumes shall be acquired pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
     7.2 Purchase Price and Settlement of Crude Oil Sales. The price of the Crude Oil sold to Coffeyville shall equal (***).
     7.3 Payment Terms.
     (a) Provisional Payment. Supplier shall provide Coffeyville with invoices (which may be transmitted electronically) for the daily volumes of Crude Oil delivered or expected to be delivered on each of the Flow Dates listed on Exhibit H hereto. For purposes hereof, a Flow Date shall refer to the twenty four (24) hour period ending at 8:00 a.m. CPT on the calendar day immediately following such Flow Date (e.g., the Flow Date for January 2, 2006 is the 24 hour period starting at 8:00 a.m. CPT on January 2, 2006 and ending at 8:00 a.m. CPT on January 3, 2006). Each Flow Date that is designated on Exhibit H with an asterisk (*) shall be a “Prepaid Flow Date.” Each Flow Date that is not a Prepaid Flow Date shall be a “Delivered Flow Date.” By 12:00 noon CPT on each Business Day, Coffeyville shall provide Supplier with the volume of Crude Oil that was metered at the Delivery Point for the twenty four (24) hour period ending at 8:00 a.m. CPT on that Business Day (as well as for the twenty four (24) hour period for any prior non-Business Days for which such information has not yet been provided to Supplier). On the Invoice Date (as indicated on Exhibit H) for each Delivered Flow Date, Supplier shall provide to Coffeyville an invoice for the Crude Oil volume delivered to Coffeyville on that Delivered Flow Date. On the Invoice Date (as indicated on Exhibit H) for each Prepaid Flow Date, Supplier shall provide to Coffeyville an invoice for the Crude Oil volume that is expected to be delivered to Coffeyville on that Prepaid Flow Date, based on the delivery quantities forecasted for that day in the relevant Monthly Delivery Schedule. Each invoice will detail the Supply Cost for such Crude Oil by reference to Crude Oil delivered by Counterparties, subject to adjustment (if applicable) pursuant to Article 10 below. Coffeyville shall pay each invoice by no later than 2:00 p.m. CPT on the Payment Date for the relevant Flow Date as indicated on Exhibit H. Should the term of this Agreement be extended as provided in Section 3.2, Supplier shall provide to Coffeyville, at least sixty (60) days prior to the beginning of each Extension Term, a revised Exhibit H, detailing the delivery, invoice and payment dates for the Extension Term, reflecting the 2-day payment terms described above. Coffeyville and Supplier shall review this revised Exhibit H and agree to any necessary modifications at least thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of any Extension Term. The Parties acknowledge that the intent of this

19


 

provision is to establish a schedule under which payment for delivered Crude Oil shall in all circumstances be made no later than two calendar days after the delivery date of such Crude Oil.
     (b) Transportation Costs. Supplier shall, promptly upon receipt, send copies of all invoices received by it in respect of Transportation Costs to Coffeyville. Coffeyville shall pay such Transportation Costs to Supplier by the close of business on the second Business Day immediately following receipt of the respective invoices.
     (c) Monthly True-Up Payment. Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Coffeyville, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the conclusion of any month, an invoice and all necessary and appropriate documentation to support such invoice for such month for a monthly true-up payment (the “Monthly True-Up Payment”). The Monthly True-Up Payment shall be equal to: (i) the aggregate Supply Cost for the difference between Barrels actually invoiced by Counterparties to Supplier and Barrels received at the Delivery Point (such difference, the “Gap Barrels”), plus (ii) the Fixed Supply Service Fee for the aggregate number of Barrels for which an invoice was delivered to Coffeyville under Section 7.3(a) and the Gap Barrels, plus (iii) the Ancillary Costs; plus or minus (iv) the Net Carrying Cost; and plus or minus (v) adjustments for any other amounts owed by one Party to the other Party under this Agreement during the prior calendar month (which shall include (A) any positive or negative adjustment calculated pursuant to Section 10.1 (e) with respect to the settlement of any unallocated Spread Adjustments and (B) credit for any rebates or cost reductions received by Supplier in connection with any Transportation Costs). In addition, the Fixed Supply Service Fee referred to in clause (ii) above shall include an amount for any non-Gathered Crude Barrels sourced pursuant to the last sentence of Section 4.1. Coffeyville shall pay Supplier or Supplier shall pay Coffeyville, as the case may be, the Monthly True-Up Payment within five (5) Business Days after Coffeyville’s receipt of the monthly invoice and related documentation.
     (d) Disputed Invoices. If Coffeyville in good faith disputes the amount of any invoice issued by Supplier or any invoice relating to Transportation Costs, it nonetheless shall pay Supplier the full amount of such invoice by the due date and inform Supplier in writing of the portion of the invoice with which it disagrees and why. The Parties shall cooperate in resolving the dispute expeditiously. If the Parties agree that Coffeyville does not owe some or all of the disputed amount or as may be determined by a court pursuant to Article 23, Supplier shall return such amount to Coffeyville, together with interest at the Margin Interest Rate from the date such amount was paid, within two (2) Business Days from, as appropriate, the date of their agreement or the date of the final, non-appealable decision of such court.
     (e) Interest. Interest shall accrue on late payments under this Agreement at the Default Interest Rate from the date that payment is due until the date that payment is actually received by Supplier.
     (f) Payment in Full in Same Day Funds. All payments to be made under this Agreement shall be made by telegraphic transfer of same day funds in U.S. Dollars to

20


 

such bank account at such bank as the payee shall designate in writing to the payee from time to time. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, all payments shall be made in full without discount, offset, withholding, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever for any claims which Coffeyville may now have or hereafter acquire against Supplier, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise.
ARTICLE 8
FEES AND COMPENSATION
     8.1 Fixed Supply Service Fee. In consideration of the Services provided by Supplier under this Agreement, Coffeyville shall pay Supplier a Fixed Supply Service Fee for each Barrel of Crude Oil that is purchased by Supplier for resale to Coffeyville pursuant to this Agreement or, if greater, the number of Barrels of Crude Oil actually delivered to Coffeyville.
     8.2 Working Capital True-Up.
     (a) Promptly after the end of each month, as part of the Monthly True Up described in Section 7.3(b), the Net Carrying Cost for that month shall be calculated. In the event that the Net Carrying Cost is positive, Coffeyville shall pay such amount to Supplier and in event the Net Carrying Cost is negative, Supplier shall pay such amount to Coffeyville.
     (b) For each day during a month, Supplier shall determine, as of such day, the Daily Carrying Value pursuant to Exhibit E.
     (c) Supplier shall provide Coffeyville with its calculation of the Net Carrying Cost as part of the invoice for the Monthly True-Up Payment.
ARTICLE 9
TEMPORARY ASSIGNMENT
     9.1 Temporary Assignment. Coffeyville shall temporarily assign to Supplier the Terminalling Agreement pursuant to the Temporary Assignment; provided, however that such Terminalling Agreement shall be used by Supplier solely for the benefit of Coffeyville.
     9.2 Inventory, Losses and Accounting. All loss of, damage to or contamination of Crude Oil while in the custody of the Terminal or occurring during the receipt, handling, storage or delivery of Crude Oil at the Terminal, including any casualty or other spillage shall be for Coffeyville’s account, except that any Catastrophic Loss shall be for Supplier’s account. Supplier shall notify Coffeyville of any claim for loss, damage or contamination within ninety (90) days after the date of delivery to Coffeyville. All such losses which are for Coffeyville’s account shall be handled in accordance with Section 4.6.
ARTICLE 10
ALTERNATIVE CRUDE OIL ACQUISITION PRICE
 
10.1  The price to be paid by Coffeyville for Crude Oil supplied hereunder shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Article 10:

21


 

(a) From time to time Coffeyville may request that Supplier execute trades as contemplated by this Section 10 that are intended to result in the Crude Oil subject to a Sale Contract being priced over the time period that Coffeyville estimates such Crude Oil will be used by it at the Refinery. (***) For each Sale Contract, Coffeyville shall inform Supplier of the period over which it reasonably estimates the Crude Oil subject to such Sale Contract will be delivered to the Refinery (the “Designated Pricing Period”). If requested by Coffeyville in connection with a Sale Contract, Supplier shall quote to Coffeyville a Spread Quotation relating to the Designated Pricing Period for that Sale Contract. Any such Spread Quotation shall be determined (***). If Supplier provides a Spread Quotation, Coffeyville may accept the Spread Quotation by promptly agreeing thereto, which agreement may occur via a telephone conversation or through facsimile transmission, e-mail correspondence or instant messaging; provided that Supplier shall promptly confirm in writing any Spread Quotation agreed to by Coffeyville, which confirmation shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit G.
 
(b) From time to time, Coffeyville may request a Spread Quotation from Supplier that is not related to a specific Sale Contract, but is based on a number of Barrels of Crude Oil as specified by Coffeyville, which it expects to purchase for delivery (***). Any such Spread Quotation shall be determined (***). If Supplier provides such a Spread Quotation, Coffeyville may accept the Spread Quotation by promptly agreeing thereto, which agreement may occur via a telephone conversation or through facsimile transmission, e-mail correspondence or instant messaging; provided that Supplier shall promptly confirm in writing any Spread Quotation agreed to by Coffeyville, which confirmation shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit G. Any such Spread Quotation agreed to pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall thereafter be allocated by Coffeyville to a specific Sale Contract; provided, however, that, Coffeyville may only allocate such Spread Quotation to a Sale Contract prior to the beginning of the scheduled pricing period thereunder. Once a Spread Quotation is allocated to a Sale Contract, the expected delivery period of the Crude Oil covered by that Sale Contract shall be the “Designated Pricing Period” for that Spread Quotation.
 
(c) Any Spread Quotation agreed to by the Parties pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above shall constitute a “Spread Adjustment” covering the number of Barrels of Crude Oil that served as the basis for the related Spread Quotation. Supplier shall maintain on its books and records an account (the “Spread Account”) reflecting all outstanding Spread Adjustments. The Spread Account shall reflect for each outstanding Spread Adjustment: (i) the per Barrel amount of the Spread Adjustment (which may be positive or negative); (ii) the prompt month and later month or months to which the Spread Adjustment relates; (iii) the number of Barrels of Crude Oil to which the Spread Adjustment relates; (iv) the Sale Contact to which it applies or, if such Spread Adjustment has yet to be allocated to a Sale Contract, an indication that it

22


 

 
is unallocated together with an indication of the approximate date of its expected allocation; and (v) the Designated Pricing Period.
 
(d) At any time prior to the Cut-Off Date for any calendar month, Coffeyville may request that Supplier quote to Coffeyville a further adjustment to any Spread Adjustment that has a Designated Pricing Period occurring during all or a portion of such calendar month; provided, that, following the Cut-Off Date, Coffeyville may ask Supplier to provide such a quotation and, subject to then existing market conditions, Supplier shall endeavor to do so in a commercially reasonable manner. Such adjustment shall (* * *). Any further adjustment shall be determined (* * *). If Supplier provides a quotation for such further adjustment, Coffeyville may accept the same by promptly agreeing thereto, which agreement may occur via a telephone conversation or through facsimile transmission, e-mail correspondence or instant messaging; provided that Supplier shall promptly confirm in writing any such further adjustment agreed to by Coffeyville, which confirmation shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit G. Upon agreement to such a further adjustment, the per Barrel amount of the affected Spread Adjustment shall be increased or decreased by the amount of such further adjustment, as appropriate, the Designated Pricing Period of such Spread Adjustment shall become the Roll Pricing Period upon which the relevant quotation was based, and Supplier shall promptly reflect such changes in the Spread Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Spread Adjustment has not been allocated to a Sale Contract prior to its Cut-Off Date and Coffeyville has not entered into a further adjustment to such unallocated Spread Adjustment prior to its Cut-Off Date, then such Spread Adjustment shall, without any action by Coffeyville, be subject to such further adjustment as Supplier shall determine (after consultation with Coffeyville) based on the then available Monthly Delivery Schedule and otherwise determined by Supplier in the manner contemplated in this Section 10.1(d), which shall be confirmed to Coffeyville and become effective as any other further adjustment entered into under this Section.
 
(e) Promptly after the Cut-Off Date occurs for any calendar month, Supplier shall calculate the average of the Spread Adjustments which have Designated Pricing Periods occurring during all or a portion of such calendar month, weighted to take account of the number of Barrels to which each such Spread Adjustment relates to the extent expected to be delivered in such calendar month (the “Average Spread Adjustment”) and the total number of Barrels covered by such Spread Adjustments that are expected to be delivered during such calendar month (the “Monthly Spread Quantity”). As Supplier invoices Barrels delivered or to be delivered during such calendar month, it shall increase or decrease the applicable Supply Cost for such Barrels by the amount of the Average Spread Adjustment until the number of Barrels for which the price has been so increased or decreased equals the Monthly Spread Quantity. If the number of Barrels delivered in such month exceeds the Monthly Spread Quantity, no such increase or decrease shall be applied to the Supply Cost for such excess Barrels. If the number of Barrels delivered in such month is less than the

23


 

Monthly Spread Quantity (such difference being a “Shortfall Amount”), then the Monthly True Up invoice delivered following such month shall include an additional true up amount (which may be a credit or a debit, as appropriate) equal to the product of such Shortfall Amount and the Average Spread Adjustment.
 
(f) Promptly after Coffeyville delivers to Supplier the Monthly Delivery Schedule for the upcoming calendar month, Supplier shall supplement such Monthly Delivery Schedule with the Spread Account Information (as defined below) and deliver such supplemented Monthly Delivery Schedule to Coffeyville. The “Spread Account Information” for any calendar month consists of: (i) a summary of the Sale Contracts for the calendar month, (ii) the Designated Pricing Period for each Sale Contract, (iii) the summary of the Spread Adjustment to be applied to each Sale Contract, and (iv) the summary of any grade differential that applies to each Sale Contract. (* * *)
 
(g) In no event shall the Monthly Spread Quantity for any Delivery Month at any time exceed approximately (* * *) Barrels.
 
(h) The Parties acknowledge and agree that, unless otherwise expressly stated in the relevant Sale Confirmation, the Supply Cost for any Sale Contract shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 10.1(e) above to the extent that any Barrels of Crude Oil delivered under such Sale Contract are counted within the Monthly Spread Quantity for the month during which they are delivered or deemed delivered.
 
(i) All determinations with respect to the Spread Adjustments shall be based on Supplier’s books and records and such determination shall be final and binding on the Parties, absent manifest error. Supplier’s books and records solely relating to the Spread Account shall be available to Coffeyville for review upon request. Upon discovery by either Party of an error in the accounting for Spread Adjustments, such error shall be corrected and any adjustment made as need be in the Monthly True-Up.
ARTICLE 11
FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND REQUESTS FOR ADEQUATE ASSURANCES
     11.1 Provision of Financial Information. Coffeyville shall provide Supplier (i) within ninety (90) days following the end of each of its fiscal years, a copy of the annual report, containing audited consolidated financial statements for such fiscal year certified by independent certified public accountants and (ii) within forty-five (45) days after the end of its first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, a copy of the quarterly report, containing unaudited consolidated financial statements for such fiscal quarter. In all cases the statements shall be for the most recent accounting period and prepared in accordance with GAAP or such other principles then in effect; provided, however, that should any such statements not be timely available due to a delay in preparation or certification, such delay shall not be considered an

24


 

Event of Default so long as Coffeyville diligently pursues the preparation, certification and delivery of such statements.
     11.2 Notification of Certain Events. Coffeyville shall notify Supplier within one Business Day after learning of any of the following events:
     (i) Coffeyville’s or any of its Affiliates’ binding agreement to sell, lease, sublease, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or grant any Person (including an Affiliate) an option to acquire, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, all or a material portion of the Refinery assets; or
     (ii) Coffeyville’s or any of its Affiliates’ binding agreement to consolidate or amalgamate with, merge with or into, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to, another entity (including an Affiliate);
          This Section 11.2 shall not apply to any future public offering of stock of Coffeyville or any of its Affiliates.
     11.3 Adequate Assurances.
     (a) Supplier may, in its sole discretion and upon notice to Coffeyville, require that Coffeyville provide it with satisfactory security for or adequate assurance (“Adequate Assurance”) of Coffeyville’s performance within 48 hours of giving such notice if:
     (i) Supplier determines that reasonable grounds for insecurity exist with respect to Coffeyville’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder; or
     (ii) A Coffeyville payment default or event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would become a payment default hereunder, has occurred.
In the event Supplier gives such a notice pursuant to clause (i) above, such notice shall include a summary of the information upon which Supplier has based its determination that such reasonable grounds for insecurity exist. Such summary shall be in sufficient detail to reasonably communicate Supplier’s grounds that insecurity exists.
     (b) Any requirement for Adequate Assurance shall be satisfied only by Coffeyville’s delivery of the types of Eligible Forms of Assurance (as defined below) referred to in clauses (i) and/or (ii) of the definition thereof (it being agreed that the determination as to whether to provide either the type referred to in clause (i) or the type referred to in clause (ii) shall be made by Coffeyville in its sole discretion) or such other types of Eligible Forms of Assurance as Supplier shall deem acceptable in its sole discretion. “Eligible Forms of Assurance” shall consist of (i) an irrevocable standby or documentary letter of credit, for a duration and in an amount sufficient to cover a value up to the Current Exposure, including reasonable contingencies for the designated time

25


 

period, in a format reasonably satisfactory to Supplier and issued or confirmed by a bank reasonably acceptable to Supplier, (ii) a prepayment to cover a value up to the Current Exposure; (iii) a surety instrument for a duration and in an amount sufficient to cover a value up to the Current Exposure, in a format reasonably satisfactory to Supplier and issued by a financial institution or insurance company reasonably acceptable to Supplier; or (iv) a security interest in the assets of Coffeyville to the extent permitted by the terms of the Specified Indebtedness and sufficient, in the reasonable judgment of the Supplier, to secure the Current Exposure. To continue to satisfy any requirement for Adequate Assurance, the amount of any Eligible Form of Assurance deemed acceptable by Supplier as Adequate Assurance shall be adjusted from time to time so that it is sufficient to cover the Current Exposure as it fluctuates.
     (c) Without prejudice to any other legal remedies available to Supplier and without Supplier incurring any Liabilities (whether to Coffeyville or to a third party), Supplier may, at its sole discretion, take any or all of the following actions if Coffeyville fails to give Adequate Assurance as required pursuant to this Section: (i) withhold or suspend its obligations, including payment obligations, under this Agreement, (ii) proceed against Coffeyville for damages occasioned by Coffeyville’s failure to perform, or (iii) exercise its termination rights under Article 17.
     (d) All bank charges relating to any letter of credit and any fees, commissions, costs and expenses incurred with respect to furnishing security are for Coffeyville’s account.
     (e) Coffeyville agrees, at any time and from time to time upon the request of Supplier, to execute, deliver and acknowledge, or cause to execute, deliver and acknowledge, such further documents and instruments and do such other acts and things as Supplier may reasonably request in order to fully effect the purposes of this Agreement.
     (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Coffeyville may, within sixty (60) days of its providing Adequate Assurance hereunder and upon five (5) days prior written notice to Supplier, terminate this Agreement. Such termination by Coffeyville shall not be a default hereunder and shall be deemed a termination pursuant to Article 18 hereof; provided, that, nothing in this Section 11.3(f) shall limit any of Supplier’s rights in the event Coffeyville fails to maintain acceptable Adequate Assurance or any other Event of Default with respect to Coffeyville occurs.
ARTICLE 12
REFINERY TURNAROUND, MAINTENANCE AND CLOSURE
     12.1 Coffeyville promptly shall notify Supplier of any scheduled maintenance or turnaround at the Refinery, or any revision to previous scheduled maintenance or turnaround, which may affect receipts of Crude Oil at the Delivery Point or the processing of Crude Oil in the Refinery. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in establishing maintenance and turnaround schedules that do not unnecessarily interfere with the receipt of Crude Oil that Supplier has committed to purchase.

     12.2 Coffeyville immediately shall notify Supplier orally (followed by prompt written notice) of any previously unscheduled downtime, maintenance or turnaround and its expected duration.
ARTICLE 13
TAXES
     13.1 Prices in this Agreement do not include any applicable sales, use, valorem, excise, property, spill, environmental, or similar taxes, duties and fees (each, a “Tax” and collectively, “Taxes”) regardless of the taxing authority. Coffeyville shall pay such Taxes unless there is an applicable exemption from such Tax, with written confirmation of such Tax exemption to be provided to Supplier. To the extent Supplier is required by law to collect such Taxes, one hundred percent (100%) of such Taxes shall be added to invoices as separately stated charges and paid in full by Coffeyville in accordance with this Agreement, unless Coffeyville is exempt from such Taxes and furnishes Supplier with a certificate of exemption. Supplier shall be responsible for all taxes imposed on Supplier’s income or property (other than on any Crude Oil).
     13.2 If Coffeyville disagrees with Supplier’s determination that any Tax is due with respect to transactions under this Agreement, Coffeyville shall have the right to seek an administrative determination from the applicable taxing authority, or, alternatively, Coffeyville shall have the right to contest any asserted claim for such Taxes, subject to its agreeing to indemnify Supplier for the entire amount of such contested Tax (including any associated interest and/or late penalties) should such Tax be deemed applicable. Supplier agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Coffeyville in the event Coffeyville determines to contest any such Taxes.
     13.3 Coffeyville and Supplier shall promptly inform each other in writing of any assertion by a taxing authority of additional tax liability in respect of said transactions. Any legal proceedings or any other action against Supplier with respect to such asserted liability shall be under Supplier’s direction but Coffeyville shall be consulted. Any legal proceedings or any other action against Coffeyville with respect to such asserted liability shall be under Coffeyville’s direction but Supplier shall be consulted. In any event, Coffeyville and Supplier shall fully cooperate with each other as to the asserted liability. Each party shall bear all the reasonable costs of any action undertaken by the other at the Party’s request.
ARTICLE 14
INSURANCE
     14.1 Insurance Coverages. Supplier shall procure and maintain in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement insurance coverages of the following types and amounts and with insurance companies rated not less than A- by A.M. Best, or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Coffeyville in respect of Supplier’s purchase of Crude Oil cargoes under this Agreement (provided the foregoing shall not limit Coffeyville’s obligation to reimburse any insurance costs pursuant to Articles 6 and 7):

27


 

     (a) Property (cargo) damage coverage on an “all risk” basis in an amount sufficient to cover the market value or potential full replacement cost of all Crude Oil (including, but not limited to Crude Oil cargoes and Crude Oil in transit in pipelines) to be delivered to Coffeyville at the Delivery Point. In the event that the market value or potential full replacement cost of all Crude Oil (Crude Oil cargoes and Crude Oil in transit in pipelines) exceeds the insurance limits available or the insurance limits available at commercially reasonable rates in the insurance marketplace, Supplier will maintain the highest insurance limit available at commercially reasonable rates; provided, however, that Supplier will promptly notify Coffeyville (and, in any event prior to the transportation of any Crude Oil that would not be fully insured) of Supplier’s inability to fully insure any Crude Oil and provide full details of such inability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Coffeyville, may, at its option and expense, upon prior notice to Supplier, endeavor to procure and provide such property damage coverage for the Crude Oil.
     (b) Comprehensive or commercial general liability coverage and umbrella or excess liability coverage, which includes bodily injury, broad form property damage and contractual liability, marine or charterers’ liability and “sudden and accidental pollution” liability coverage in a minimum amount of $300,000,000 per occurrence and $500,000,000 in the aggregate.
     14.2 Additional Insurance Requirements.
     (a) The foregoing policies shall include an endorsement that the underwriters waive all rights of subrogation against Coffeyville.
     (b) Supplier shall cause its insurance carriers to furnish Coffeyville with insurance certificates, in a form and from a party reasonably satisfactory to Coffeyville, evidencing the existence of the coverages and endorsements required. The certificates shall specify that no insurance will be canceled during the term of this Agreement unless Coffeyville is given written notice prior to cancellation becoming effective. Supplier also shall provide renewal certificates within thirty (30) days before expiration of the policy.
     (c) The mere purchase and existence of insurance does not reduce or release either Party from any liability incurred or assumed under this Agreement.
     (d) Supplier shall comply with all notice and reporting requirements in the foregoing policies and timely pay all premiums.
ARTICLE 15
FORCE MAJEURE
     15.1 Neither Party shall be liable to the other if it is rendered unable by an event of Force Majeure to perform in whole or in part any obligation or condition of this Agreement (other than payment obligations), for so long as the event of Force Majeure exists and to the extent that performance is hindered by the event of Force Majeure; provided, however, that the Party unable to perform (the “Affected Party”) shall use any commercially reasonable efforts to

28


 

avoid or remove the event of Force Majeure. During the period that performance by the Affected Party of a part or whole of its obligations has been suspended by reason of an event of Force Majeure, the other Party (the “Non-Affected Party”) likewise may suspend the performance of all or a part of its obligations to the extent that such suspension is commercially reasonable, except for any payment and indemnification obligations.
     15.2 The Affected Party shall give prompt oral notice to the Non-Affected Party, to be followed by written notice within twelve (12) hours after receiving notice of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event, including, to the extent feasible, the details and the expected duration of the Force Majeure event and the volume of Crude Oil affected. The Affected Party also shall promptly notify the Non-Affected Party when the event of Force Majeure is terminated. However, the failure or inability of the Affected Party to provide such notice within the time periods specified above shall not preclude it from declaring an event of Force Majeure, so long as it has diligently endeavored to notify the Non-Affected Party.
     15.3 In the event the Affected Party’s performance is suspended due to an event of Force Majeure in excess of thirty (30) consecutive days after the date that notice of such event is given, and so long as such event is continuing, the Non-Affected Party, in its sole discretion, may terminate or curtail its obligations under the Sale Contract or Sale Contracts affected by such event of Force Majeure (the “Affected Sale Contracts”) by giving notice of such termination or curtailment to the Affected Party, and neither Party shall have any further liability to the other in respect of such Affected Sale Contracts to the extent terminated or curtailed, except for the rights and remedies previously accrued under this Agreement, any payment and indemnification obligations by cither Party under this Agreement and the obligations set forth in Article 18.
     15.4 If any Affected Sale Contract is not terminated pursuant to this Article 15 or any other provision of this Agreement, performance shall resume to the extent made possible by the end or amelioration of the event of Force Majeure in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the term of this Agreement shall not be extended.
     15.5 The Parties acknowledge and agree that the right of Supplier to declare a Force Majeure based upon any failure by a Counterparty to deliver Crude Oil under a Purchase Contract is solely for purposes of determining the respective rights and obligations as between Supplier and Coffeyville with respect to any Crude Oil delivery affected thereby, and any such declaration shall not excuse any Counterparty’s default under one or more Purchase Contracts. Any claims that Supplier may have as a result of such Counterparty’s failure shall be subject to Section 4.6 hereof and any other applicable provisions of this Agreement relating to claims against third parties.
ARTICLE 16

     17.2 Remedies Upon Event of Default.

32


 

     (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to either Party (referred to as the “Defaulting Party”), the other Party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) shall have the right immediately and at any time(s) thereafter to terminate this Agreement and to liquidate and terminate any or all Sale Contracts then outstanding between the Parties; provided, however, that, in the case of an event described in Section 17.1(e), if Supplier is the Non-Defaulting Party, or an event described in Section 17.1(i), the exercise of Supplier’s rights hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 17.3. A Settlement Amount (as defined below) shall be calculated in a commercially reasonable manner for each such liquidated and terminated Sale Contract and be payable by one Party to the other. “Settlement Amount” shall mean, with respect to a Sale Contract and the Non-Defaulting Party, the losses and costs (or gains) expressed in U.S. Dollars, which such Party incurs as a result of the liquidation, including losses and costs (or gains) based upon the then current replacement value of such Sale Contract together with, at the Non-Defaulting Party’s election but without duplication or limitation, all reasonable losses and costs which such Party incurs as a result of maintaining, terminating, obtaining or re-establishing any hedge or related trading positions, which, for purposes of such determination, shall include (x) the losses and costs (or gains) incurred as a result of the liquidation and termination of all Spread Adjustments and any hedges or trading positions related thereto, and (y) the losses and costs incurred by Supplier in terminating, transferring, redeploying or otherwise modifying any outstanding Purchase Contracts. The Settlement Amount shall be due to or from the Non-Defaulting Party as appropriate. The Non-Defaulting Party shall determine the Settlement Amount of each Sale Contract as of the date on which such termination occurs by reference to such futures, forward, swap and options markets as it shall select in its reasonable judgment. In calculating a Settlement Amount, the Non-Defaulting Party shall discount to present value (in any commercially reasonable manner based on London interbank rates for the applicable period and currency) any amount which would be due at a later date and shall add interest (at a rate determined in the same manner) to any amount due prior to the date of the calculation.
     (b) Without limiting any other rights or remedies hereunder, if an Event of Default occurs and Supplier is the Non-Defaulting Party, Supplier may, in its discretion, (i) withhold or suspend its obligations, including any of its delivery or payment obligations, under this Agreement, (ii) reclaim and repossess any and all of the Crude Oil then held at the Refinery, and (iii) otherwise arrange for the disposition of any Crude Oil subject to outstanding Purchase Contracts and/or the modification, settlement or termination of such outstanding Purchase Contracts in such manner as it elects.
     (c) The Non-Defaulting Party shall set off (i) all such Settlement Amounts that are due to the Defaulting Party, plus any performance security (including margin) then held by the Non-Defaulting Party, plus (at the Non-Defaulting Party’s election) any or all other amounts due to the Defaulting Party hereunder (including without limitation under Section 7.3 or 8.1 above), against (ii) all such Settlement Amounts that are due to the Non-Defaulting Party, plus any performance security (including margin) then held by the Defaulting Party, plus (at the Non-Defaulting Party’s election) any or all other

33


 

amounts due to the Non-Defaulting Party hereunder (including without limitation under Section 7.3 or 8.1 above), so that all such amounts shall be netted to a single liquidated amount payable by one Party to the other (the “Liquidated Amount”). The Party with the payment obligation shall pay the Liquidated Amount to the other Party within one Business Day of the liquidation.
     (d) No delay or failure on the part of the Non-Defaulting Party to exercise any right or remedy to which it may be entitled on account of any Event of Default shall constitute an abandonment of any such right, and the Non-Defaulting Party shall be entitled to exercise such right or remedy at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default.
     (e) The Non-Defaulting Party’s rights under this Section shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or exclusion of, any other rights which the Non-Defaulting Party may have (whether by agreement, operation of law or otherwise), including without limitation any rights of recoupment, setoff, combination of accounts, as a secured party or under any LCs or other credit support. The Defaulting Party shall indemnify and hold the Non-Defaulting Party harmless from all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred in the exercise of any remedies hereunder.
     (f) If an Event of Default occurs, the Non-Defaulting Party may, without limitation on its rights under this Section, set off amounts which the Defaulting Party owes to it against any amounts which it owes to the Defaulting Party (whether hereunder, under a Sale Contract or otherwise and whether or not then due).
     17.3 Forbearance Period.
     (a) If a Specified Transaction Event of Default or a Specified Indebtedness Event of Default occurs, Supplier agrees that, for a period of up to sixty (60) consecutive calendar days thereafter (the “Forbearance Period”), it shall forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under Section 17.2 to the extent it is otherwise entitled to do so based on such occurrence; provided that:
     (i) at all times during the Forbearance Period, either the Current Exposure shall equal zero or the aggregate amount of Undrawn LCs shall exceed the Current Exposure; and
     (ii) at no time during the Forbearance Period, shall any other Event of Default have occurred.
     (b) The Forbearance Period shall end on the earlier to occur of (i) the sixtieth (60th) day following the occurrence of the Specified Transaction Event of Default or the Specified Indebtedness Event of Default, as the case may be, or (ii) the time as of which the condition in either clause (i) or (ii) of Section 17.3(a) is no longer satisfied. During the Forbearance Period, Supplier shall continue to supply Crude Oil to Coffeyville pursuant to the provisions hereof.

34


 

     (c) From and after the end of the Forbearance Period, Supplier shall be entitled to exercise any and all of the rights and remedies it may have (including without limitation under Section 17.2) based on the occurrence of such Specified Transaction Event of Default or Specified Indebtedness Event of Default, as the case may be, as if no Forbearance Period had occurred (regardless of whether such Specified Transaction Event of Default or Specified Indebtedness Event of Default, as the case may be, has been remedied or waived during such Forbearance Period).
ARTICLE 18
SETTLEMENT AT TERMINATION
     18.1 Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason other than as a result of an Event of Default (such date, the “Termination Date”), the Parties promptly shall reconcile and determine all amounts owed to each other under this Agreement (the “Termination Amount”), as provided in this Article 18. The provisions of this Article 18 shall in no way limit the rights and remedies which the Non-Defaulting Party may have as a result of an Event of Default, whether pursuant to Section 17 above or otherwise.
     (a) The Parties shall determine as soon as practicable how to dispose of any Contracted Volumes and whether any executory Purchase Contracts for such Contracted Volumes will be assigned by Supplier to Coffeyville. If the terms of a Purchase Contract permit and are satisfactory to Supplier in its sole discretion, Supplier shall assign to Coffeyville its rights and obligations under any Purchase Contract, to be effective as of the Termination Date, provided that such assignment results in Supplier’s complete release from any obligations under such Purchase Contract. If an executory Purchase Contract is not assignable on terms reasonably satisfactory to Supplier, Coffeyville shall purchase and pay for such Crude Oil under the terms of such Purchase Contract through Supplier and Supplier shall transfer possession and title to such Crude Oil to Coffeyville following such payment by Coffeyville. Any failure to make such payment shall result in an Event of Default and entitle Supplier to exercise its rights and remedies hereunder as a Non-Defaulting Party.
     (b) The Parties promptly shall exchange all information necessary to determine the final calculations of all Crude Oil Purchase Costs, the Fixed Supply Service Fee, and any and all necessary adjustments to amounts that are or were due one Party from the other Party since the Closing Date (whether or not previously invoiced or paid). Supplier shall compute the Net Carrying Cost as of the Termination Date.
     (c) Coffeyville shall, at its option, either:
     (i) On the Termination Date, purchase from Supplier all Inventories at the prices provided for herein; or
     (ii) Purchase on a daily basis from Supplier all Contracted Volumes in accordance with the terms hereof in the normal course until all Contracted Volumes purchased by Supplier prior to the Termination Date have been delivered to Coffeyville at the Delivery Point.

35


 

     (d) Supplier shall have no further obligation to purchase and shall not purchase or pay for Crude Oil or incur any Crude Oil Purchase Costs on and after the Termination Date. Except as a notice period may be required by an assignment agreement, Supplier shall not be obligated to purchase, take title to or pay for any Crude Oil as of the date that it notifies Coffeyville of the Termination Date.
     18.2 Termination Amount.
     (a) The Termination Amount shall equal (i) any unpaid amounts for Crude Oil that Coffeyville owes under this Agreement, plus (ii) any amounts that Coffeyville owes Supplier for the Fixed Supply Service Fee, plus (iii) to the extent not included in clauses (i) or (ii) above, any other amounts payable by Coffeyville under Section 7.3 or 8.1 above, plus (iv) any unpaid Net Carrying Cost, plus (v) any other amounts or adjustments that are owed by Coffeyville to Supplier under this Agreement, minus (vi) any other amounts or adjustments that are owed by Supplier to Coffeyville under this Agreement. All of the foregoing amounts shall be aggregated or netted to a single liquidated amount owing from one Party to the other. If the Termination Amount is a positive number, it shall be due to Supplier and if it is a negative number, the absolute value thereof shall be due to Coffeyville.
     (b) Supplier shall prepare and provide Coffeyville with a statement showing the calculation of the Termination Amount within five (5) Business Days from the Termination Date or, if such determination cannot be made in a commercially reasonable manner by Supplier within such 5 Business Day period, within such longer period so long as Supplier proceeds in a commercially reasonable manner to complete the determination and calculation of such Termination Amount.
     (c) Coffeyville or Supplier, as the case may be, shall pay the Termination Amount to the other within one (1) Business Day after receiving Supplier’s calculation and all appropriate supporting documentation.
     (d) Following the Termination Date, Supplier shall reasonably cooperate with Coffeyville, at Coffeyville’s expense, for the purpose of the reassignment of any agreements previously assigned to Supplier and the transfer to Coffeyville of any and all shipper rights of any type whatsoever related to the Pipeline System.
ARTICLE 19

36

     19.2 To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law and except as specified otherwise elsewhere in this Agreement, Coffeyville shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Supplier, its Affiliates, and their directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and contractors for and against any Liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of (i) any breach by Coffeyville of any covenant or agreement contained herein or made in connection herewith or any representation or warranty of Coffeyville made herein or in connection herewith proving to be false or misleading, (ii) Coffeyville’s handling, storage or refining of any Crude Oil or the products thereof, (iii) Coffeyville’s negligence or willful misconduct, (iv) any failure by Coffeyville to comply with or observe any Applicable Law, or (v) injury, disease, or death of any person or damage to or loss of any property, fine or penalty, any of which is caused by Coffeyville or its employees, representatives, agents or contractors in the exercise of any of the rights granted hereunder, except to the extent that such injury, disease, death, or damage to or loss of property was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Supplier, its Affiliates or any of their respective employees, representatives, agents or contractors.

     19.4 The Parties’ obligations to defend, indemnify, and hold each other harmless under the terms of this Agreement shall not vest any rights in any third party (whether a Governmental Authority or private entity), nor shall they be considered an admission of liability or responsibility for any purposes other than those enumerated in this Agreement.
     19.5 Each Party agrees to notify each other as soon as practicable after receiving notice of any claim or suit brought against it within the indemnities of this Agreement, shall furnish to the other the complete details within its knowledge and shall render all reasonable assistance requested by the other in the defense; provided, that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially adversely affected by such failure. Each Party shall have the right but not the duty to participate, at its own expense, with counsel of its own selection, in the defense and settlement thereof without relieving the other of any obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume responsibility for and control of any

37


 

judicial or administrative proceeding if such proceeding involves an Event of Default by the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement which shall have occurred and be continuing.
ARTICLE 20
LIMITATION ON DAMAGES
     Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Parties’ liability for damages is limited to direct, actual damages only (which include any amounts determined under Article 17) and neither Party shall be liable for specific performance, lost profits or other business interruption damages, or special, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or indirect damages, in tort, contract or otherwise, of any kind, arising out of or in any way connected with the performance, the suspension of performance, the failure to perform, or the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that, such limitation shall not apply with respect to (i) any third party claim for which indemnification is available under this Agreement or (ii) any breach of Article 22. Each Party acknowledges the duty to mitigate damages hereunder.
ARTICLE 21

The right to inspect or audit such records shall survive termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years following the later of the Termination Date.

Exhibit E
SUMMARY OF NET CARRYING COST EXAMPLE
 
“Accounts Payable for Carrying Costs” means the amount payable by Supplier under a Purchase Contract Beginning on the Trade Date of that Purchase Contract.
 
“Accounts Receivable for Carrying Costs” means the amount that would have been invoiced on the day following a Flow Date, adjusted to reflect the total monthly volume of Crude Oil that Coffeyville is obligated to pay for based on the monthly true-up and the actual index price data for those monthly volumes.
 
“Inventory for Carrying Costs” means, for any day, all Crude Oil volumes that Supplier has contracted to purchase from Counterparties under then outstanding Purchase Contracts and which have not, as of that day, been delivered to Coffeyville at the Delivery Point. The value of the Inventory for Carrying Costs shall be the sum over all such Crude Oil volumes of each Crude Oil volume multiplied by the fixed crude price paid by Supplier for each barrel of that Crude Oil as calculated pursuant to the relevant Purchase Contract.  
 
The “Daily Carrying Value” shall equal, for any day, (i) the value of the Inventory for Carrying Costs for that day plus (ii) the aggregate of all Accounts Receivable due Supplier under this Agreement as of that day minus (iii) the aggregate of all Accounts Payable for Carrying Costs for which Supplier is responsible as of that day. The “Daily Carrying Cost” shall equal, for any day, the product of the Daily Carrying Value for that day, multiplied by the Base Interest Rate, and divided by 360. Supplier’s “Net Carrying Cost” shall equal for any month the sum of such Daily Carrying Costs calculated for each day during that month.

Exhibit 10.13.1
AMENDMENT AGREEMENT
     THIS AMENDMENT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”), dated as of December 1, 2006, is made between J. Aron & Company, a general partnership organized under the laws of New York (“Supplier”) and Coffeyville Resources Refining & Marketing, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware (“Coffeyville”).
     Supplier and Coffeyville are parties to a Crude Oil Supply Agreement dated as of December 23, 2005 and effective January 1, 2006 (the “Supply Agreement”). Coffeyville and Supplier have agreed to extend the term of the Supply Agreement for an additional 12 month period, January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007 and, in connection therewith, to amend certain terms and conditions of the Supply Agreement.
     Accordingly, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
     SECTION 1 Definitions; Interpretation.
     (a) Terms Defined in Supply Agreement. All capitalized terms used in this Amendment (including in the recitals hereof) and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Supply Agreement.

     SECTION 2 Amendments to the Supply Agreement.
     (a) Amendments. Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, the Supply Agreement shall be amended as follows:

Canadian Crude” means Crude Oil originating in Canada, acquired by Supplier in Canada on behalf of Coffeyville pursuant to this Agreement and transported on the Spearhead Pipeline to Cushing, Oklahoma pursuant to Coffeyville’s existing contractually committed space on the Spearhead Pipeline of [***] Barrels per day as such amount may be adjusted downward by Spearhead Pipeline from time to time or by such other means; and in such volumes in excess of [***] Barrels per day as Supplier and Coffeyville may, from time to time, mutually agree.
Canadian Procurement Agreements” means any sourcing, procurement or purchasing agreements or arrangements that Supplier enters into in order to obtain Canadian Crude that it intends to deliver under any Sale Contract relating to Canadian Crude, which may be entered into specifically in connection with and at

 


 

the time of the execution of a Sale Contract or separately from and following the execution of a Sale Contract.
Monthly Related Barrels” means, for any calendar month, the greater of the aggregate number of Related Barrels scheduled for delivery during such month and the aggregate number of Related Barrels delivered during such month.
Monthly Supplemental Fee” means, for any calendar month, the product of (i) the aggregate number of Barrels of Canadian Crude for which an invoice was delivered to Coffeyville under Section 7.3(a) for Canadian Crude delivered to Coffeyville during that month plus the number of Canadian Gap Barrels for that month and (ii) the Supplemental Service Fee.
Related Barrels” has the meaning specified in Section 8.1.

          (v) Section 4.3 of the Supply Agreement is amended by inserting at the end thereof new subsections (f) and (g) reading as follows:
     (f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and except as expressly provided in clauses (A) through (F) below, the following provisions of this Agreement shall not apply to any quantities of Canadian Crude: all of Sections 4.3(a), 4.3(b), 4.3(c), 4.3(d) and 4.3(e). In lieu of such non-applicable provisions, the following provisions shall apply to Canadian Crude:
     (A) Supplier Negotiating on Behalf of Coffeyville: From time to time during the term of this Agreement, Coffeyville may instruct Supplier to negotiate for, procure and supply quantities of Canadian Crude, specifying the quantity, type and grade of the Canadian Crude it desires together with any pricing parameters for such Canadian Crude. Following each such instruction from Coffeyville, Supplier and Coffeyville shall promptly endeavor, in a commercially reasonable manner, to enter into a forward contract upon mutually acceptable terms and conditions, under which Supplier shall sell and Coffeyville shall acquire a quantity of Canadian Crude on pricing and delivery terms as are agreed to between Supplier and Coffeyville. Any forward contract so entered into will be a Sale Contract that is subject to either clause (i) or clause (ii) of Section 4.3(f)(B) below.
     (B) The term “Sale Contract” (which is defined in Section 4.3(e) above), as used in this Agreement, shall include any forward contract entered into by the Parties under Section 4.3(f)(A) above; provided that:
     (i) Sale Contract Supported by Identified Canadian Procurement Agreement: if at the time the Sale Contract is entered into, Supplier enters into a Canadian Procurement Agreement that it identifies as the source of the Canadian Crude covered by that Sale Contract, then the price per Barrel under such Sale Contract shall be the same as the price per Barrel under such Canadian Procurement Agreement (which may be converted into U.S. dollars as agreed between the Parties), which price, to the extent applicable, may be subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 10 below. Supplier shall with respect to any such Sale Contract identify the Counterparty and the material terms and conditions of the underlying Canadian Procurement Agreement; and
     (ii) Sale Contract Not Supported by Identified Canadian Procurement Agreement: if at the time the Sale Contract is entered into, no such Canadian Procurement Agreement is entered into and identified by Supplier as the source of the Canadian Crude covered by that Sale Contract, then Supplier shall be the Counterparty and the price per Barrel of Canadian Crude under such Sale Contract shall be the price agreed to by Coffeyville and Supplier as

3


 

Counterparty through their negotiations, which price, to the extent applicable, may be subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 10 below.
     (C) Coffeyville Identification of and Negotiation for Canadian Crude: The Parties recognize that, from time to time, in connection with Coffeyville’s request to have Supplier procure Canadian Crude, Coffeyville may present to Supplier a specific proposed Canadian Crude purchase with an identified Counterparty, and that any such proposed purchase shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 4.3 above. Any such proposed purchase that is entered into shall constitute the Canadian Procurement Agreement with respect to the corresponding Sale Contract entered into by Coffeyville and Supplier.
     (D) Coffeyville shall have no authority to bind Supplier to, or enter into on Supplier’s behalf, any Canadian Procurement Agreements.
     (E) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the “Trade Date” of a Sale Contract for Canadian Crude shall be (i) if at the time the Sale Contract is entered into, Supplier has entered into a Canadian Procurement Agreement with respect to the Canadian Crude covered by that Sale Contract, the date on such Canadian Procurement Agreement was entered into and (ii) otherwise, the date on which Supplier and Coffeyville have entered into a binding agreement with respect to that Sale Contract.
     (F) Warranties:
     (i) The failure of any Canadian Crude acquired pursuant to Sections 4.3(f)(A), 4.3(f)(B)(i) or 4.3(f)(C) that Supplier hereunder sells to Coffeyville (i.e., as an intermediary and not as the seller in Supplier’s own right) to meet the specifications or other quality requirements stated in the applicable Sale Contract which is attributable to the failure of such Canadian Crude to meet the specifications or other quality requirements stated in the Canadian Procurement Agreements under which such Canadian Crude was acquired shall be for the sole account of Coffeyville and shall not entitle Coffeyville to any reduction in the amounts due by it to Supplier hereunder; provided, however, that any claims made by Supplier with respect to such non-conforming Canadian Crude shall be for Coffeyville’s account and resolved in accordance with Section 4.6.
     (ii) With respect to any Canadian Crude which is purchased by Coffeyville from Supplier pursuant to Section 4.3(f)(B)(ii) (i.e., where Supplier is the seller in its own right and

4


 

not merely an intermediary hereunder), Supplier warrants that such Canadian Crude shall, at the time it is injected into the relevant Pipeline System in Canada, meet that Pipeline System’s specifications for the type and grade of Canadian Crude to be delivered under the relevant Sale Contract.
     (iii) Clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not limit Supplier’s warranty of title with respect to any Canadian Crude and such warranty shall apply to Canadian Crude delivered hereunder to the same extent it applies to any other Crude Oil delivered hereunder; except that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Supplier shall warrant title with respect to any Canadian Crude which is purchased by Coffeyville from Supplier pursuant to Section 4.3(f)(B)(ii).
     (g) The term “Purchase Contract” as used in the definition of Force Majeure in Section 1.1, in Sections 15.5, 17.2(a) and 17.2(b) of this Agreement, and in Exhibit E to this Agreement, shall include (without limitation) any Canadian Procurement Agreements; except that the term “Purchase Contract” as used in the definition of Force Majeure in Section 1.1 and in Section 15.5 shall not apply to Canadian Crude acquired pursuant to Section 4.3(f)(B)(ii).
          (vi) Section 7.2 of the Supply Agreement is amended by inserting immediately after the words “Purchase Contract” and before the “(“ on the third line thereof, the following:
[***]
          (vii) Section 7.3(a) of the Supply Agreement is amended by deleting the last three sentences thereof and inserting the following in their place:
Should the term of this Agreement be extended as provided in Section 3.2, Supplier shall provide to Coffeyville, at least thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of each Extension Term, a revised Exhibit H, detailing the delivery, invoice and payment dates for the Extension Term, reflecting the 3-day payment terms described in Exhibit H. Coffeyville and Supplier shall review this revised Exhibit H and agree to any necessary modifications at least thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of any Extension Term. The Parties acknowledge that the intent of this provision is to establish a schedule under which payment for delivered Crude Oil shall in all circumstances be made no later than three calendar days after the delivery date of such Crude Oil.
          (viii) Section 7.3(c) of the Supply Agreement is amended by deleting clause (ii) of such section in its entirety and inserting the following in its place:

(ii) the sum of (x) the Fixed Supply Service Fee for the aggregate number of Barrels for which an invoice was delivered to Coffeyville under Section 7.3(a) for Crude Oil delivered to Coffeyville during such month, plus the Gap Barrels for such month, (y) the Fixed Supply Service Fee for the Monthly Related Barrels for such month, plus (z) the Monthly Supplemental Fee, plus
          (ix) Section 8.1 of the Supply Agreement is amended by deleting the entire text thereof and inserting the following in its place:
     (a) In consideration of the Services provided by Supplier under this Agreement, Coffeyville shall pay Supplier a Fixed Supply Service Fee for each Barrel of Crude Oil that is purchased by Supplier for resale to Coffeyville pursuant to this Agreement and for each Related Barrel (as defined below) or, if greater, for the number of Barrels of Crude Oil actually delivered to Coffeyville plus all Related Barrels. The Parties acknowledge that, in determining the total Fixed Supply Service Fee due for any period, the Fixed Supply Service Fee of [***] per Barrel shall apply to all Barrels other than Related Barrels and the Fixed Supply Service Fee of [***] per Barrel shall apply to all Related Barrels; provided, however, that any Barrels disposed of or acquired pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof shall not be Related Barrels. The Parties further acknowledge that, if to satisfy its obligation to deliver any Related Barrels to a Counterparty under a Related Sale Contract, Supplier has to procure such Related Barrels from any third party, Supplier shall not be entitled to any Fixed Supply Service Fee with respect to that procurement transaction between Supplier and such third party.
     (b) As additional consideration for the Services provided by Supplier under this Agreement relating to Canadian Crude, Coffeyville shall pay Supplier [***] for each Barrel of Canadian Crude that is purchased by Supplier for resale to Coffeyville pursuant to this Agreement. The [***] shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Fixed Supply Service Fee that is due for each Barrel of Canadian Crude under Section 8.1(a).
     (c) The Parties acknowledge and agree that, from time to time, in connection with procuring Crude Oil of a specified type or grade or having a specified delivery location or period from a Counterparty, Supplier may also enter into a transaction in which it agrees to sell to such Counterparty Crude Oil of a different specified type or grade or having a different delivery location or period, or a combination of the foregoing (each such sale transaction being referred to as a “Related Sale Contract”). The Barrels of Crude Oil subject to any Related Sale Contract shall constitute “Related Barrels”.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that to the extent any Canadian Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) is incurred or payable with respect to any Purchase or Sales Contracts relating to Canadian Crude, Coffeyville shall be responsible for paying such GST or, if Supplier is required to make any such payment, promptly reimbursing Supplier therefor. Supplier will use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the GST as legally permissible and will file the necessary documents to obtain a refund of any GST paid but not due and owing under applicable law.
          (xii) Exhibit H to the Supply Agreement is amended by inserting at the end thereof the table set forth on Annex A to this Amendment Agreement.
          (xiii) Schedule I to the Supply Agreement is deleted and a new Schedule I is attached hereto.

As amended pursuant hereto, the Supply Agreement remains in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. The execution and delivery of, or acceptance of, this Amendment and any other

7

     (ii) For the remaining 15 years of the Term and each Renewal Term, (a) Shipper agrees to Tender to Carrier, all its Specified Crude Oil required to be transported into the Refinery, up to the capacity of the Cushing to Broom Pipeline System (other than crude oil to be transported which Shipper will purchase from the crude oil gathering system owned by its affiliate Coffeyville Resources Crude Transportation, LLC (as such gathering system is configured and built on the date hereof); and (b) Carrier agrees that if Destinations, other than Broom Station for delivery to Shipper, are added to the Cushing to Broom Pipeline System during the term hereof, then Carrier shall expand the capacity throughput of the Cushing to Broom Pipeline System to accommodate the additional volumes so as to avoid any adverse impact on the volumes being transported by Shipper at such time hereunder.
     2.2 Contract Rate. Beginning on the Commencement Date and continuing thereafter during the Term of this Agreement, Shipper shall be obligated to pay for all transportation service up to the Volume Commitment for any period in accordance with the Proposed FERC Tariff and the FERC Tariff as filed and effective which shall have a minimum initial rate of $0.242 (twenty-four cents and two mills) per barrel of Specified Crude Oil (the “Initial Rate”), as such rate shall be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 2.4 (as so adjusted, the “Tariff Rate”); provided that (i) if the final all-in construction costs to complete the Cushing to Broom Pipeline System exceed (***), then the Initial Rate shall be increased in the amount of (***) per barrel of Specified Crude Oil for each additional (***) of construction costs up to an adjusted Initial Rate equal to (***) per barrel of Specified Crude Oil under such adjustment method to recover any construction costs up to (***); and (ii) to the extent the final all-in construction costs to complete the Cushing to Broom Pipeline System exceed (***), then the Initial Rate shall be further increased to allow for recovery by Carrier of (***) of the excess cost over (***) on the same capital recovery basis as had been used to compute the Initial Rate. Shipper agrees to cooperate with Carrier to provide or procure an “unaffiliated shipper letter” in support of the Proposed FERC Tariff.
In addition, the Tariff Rate shall be subject to the following viscosity surcharge (in cents per barrel) for each barrel of Specified Crude Oil shipped over the Cushing to Broom Pipeline System having a viscosity in excess of 90 Saybolt Universal Seconds (“SUS”) at 60 degrees Fahrenheit:
     
Viscosity   Surcharge

Rate (upon invoice at the end of each calendar quarter) for any Volume Deficiency (the positive difference of subtracting the Barrels which Shipper has Tendered for a Contract Month from Shipper’s Volume Commitment for such Contract Month) remaining after crediting volumes in excess of the Volume Commitment for such quarter against such Volume Deficiencies. For avoidance of doubt, Volume Deficiencies occurring during any Contract Month during a calendar quarter may be made up utilizing volume credits arising during any other Contract Month in the same calendar quarter. There shall be no carryover volume credits or makeup of Volume Deficiencies between or among different calendar quarters except as follows:
     (i) if a Volume Deficiency occurs as a result of an event of Force Majeure, then Shipper’s Volume Deficiency shall be reduced to the extent that Shipper’s deliveries are directly affected by such event of Force Majeure. In addition, In the event Carrier’s obligations or services are directly affected by an event of Force Majeure, such obligations or services of Carrier shall be relieved for the duration of such Force Majeure event. If there are any such reductions of the Volume Deficiency due to Force Majeure, the First Period shall be extended by the number of days required to achieve the cash revenue equal to or greater than the deficiency payment otherwise required by this provision, “Force Majeure” means an event beyond the reasonable control of the party affected which unexpectedly impedes such party’s performance hereunder, which shall include without limitation an act of God, fire, flood, war, military action or act of public enemy, national emergency, blackout or other failure of utilities, general failure of the banking or postal system, vandalism or other criminal acts, acts of terrorism, quarantine, the authority of law, strikes, riots, civil disorder, or action, requisition or necessity of a government entity.
     (ii) If a Volume Deficiency occurs as a result of planned outages under the Refinery Operating Plan , then Shipper’s Volume Deficiency shall be reduced to the extent that Shipper’s deliveries are directly affected by such planned outages under the Refinery Operating Plan up to a maximum reduction in the Volume Commitment of 10,000 barrels per day on an average basis over any calendar year of the First Period, (In other words, the Volume Commitment shall in no event be reduced below 70,000 barrels per day for any calendar year as a result of planned outages under the Refinery Operating Plan.) If there are any such reductions of the Volume Deficiency due to planned outages under the Refinery Operating Plan, the First Period shall be extended by the number of days required to achieve the cash revenue equal to of greater than the deficiency payment otherwise required by this provision.
     2.4 Revisions to Contract Terms or Contract Rate. Except as provided in this provision during the Term of this Agreement, Carrier will not revise the terms of the Proposed FERC Tariff after it is filed and effective. No more than once a year and upon thirty (30) days written notice to Shipper, Carrier shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to adjust the rate payable for transportation under the filed and effective FERC Tariff by the indexing methodology set by the FERC pursuant to 18 C.F.R §342.3. In addition, Carrier reserves the right to seek tariff surcharges or increases due to (i) increased costs for utility services, including costs for electricity and natural gas service; and (ii) new state or federal regulatory rules or regulations that are implemented that require Carrier to make capital improvements; provided that increases to account for capital improvements made pursuant to clause (ii) shall be amortized over a five-year period, net of tax benefits, with an interest factor of the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal from time to time plus 1.5% per annum on such net amount.
     2.5 Loss Allowance. A deduction will be made to each monthly invoice to cover the actual crude losses occurring due to evaporation, interface, losses, and other normal losses during transportation for the period covered by the applicable invoice.
     2.6 FERC Jurisdiction. This Agreement is subject to all applicable rules and regulations of the FERC. Shipper agrees that it shall not protest, file a complaint or otherwise contest in any federal or state judicial or administrative proceeding the reasonableness of the rates and charges contained in this Agreement, including the Proposed FERC Tariff as and after it is filed and effective.
