5.2.1. The first installment shall be due within fifteen (15) calendar days of when Goods are delivered and accepted, or deemed accepted, by Customer as provided in Section 7.1 and shall be in an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the total Price under the corresponding Purchase Order.

5.2.2. The second installment for the twenty percent (20%) balance of the Price for Goods shall be made within fifteen (15) calendar days of when the Technology Consultant (defined below) certifies that the Goods for which payment is due are installed and functioning or capable of functioning at the Minimum Performance Levels established for such Goods by providing a Certificate of Functionality in the form attached hereto as Attachment 2 or in such other form as mutually agreed by the parties (a “Certificate of Functionality” or “COF”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, within sixty (60) calendar days after delivery of any Goods, P2O has not received either (i) a COF for such Goods; or (ii) written notice of the reason(s) why a COF cannot be issued (as detailed in Section 5.3 below) for such Goods, the COF will be deemed issued with respect to such Goods, and payment of the balance of the Price therefor shall be made within fifteen (15) days of the date of the COF.
5.3. Customer agrees to cause the Technology Consultant, who shall be Customer’s agent, to diligently and expeditiously examine, review and test the Goods and their operation for the purpose of seeking to issue one or more COFs, as applicable, and to promptly issue all such COFs that are capable of being issued. If the Technology Consultant determines that a COF cannot be issued for Goods delivered pursuant to this Contract, the Technology Consultant shall promptly inform P2O and Customer accordingly, providing in such notice a reasonable detailed explanation of why a COF cannot be issued for the Goods in question, and upon receipt of such notice, P2O shall have the option of: (i) making such modifications, repairs or replacements to the subject Goods as necessary for the Technology Consultant to issue a COF for the same; or (ii) disputing the Technology Consultant’s determination and submitting the determination to arbitration in accordance with Section 14 below. Customer represents to P2O that, as of the Effective Date, the Technology Consultant has reviewed and acknowledged its ability and willingness to provide such certification.
5.4. In the event P2O elects to modify, repair or replace any Goods so as to obtain a COF therefor, Customer shall arrange for P2O’s access, entry, and use of the applicable Processing Facility as necessary. P2O shall pay, and/or reimburse Customer (as applicable), for any costs incurred or to be incurred by Customer, related to P2O’s use of a Processing Facility for the purposes set forth in this Section 5.4, and as reasonably agreed by P2O and Customer, and P2O shall pay the same within thirty (30) days of written notice thereof provided, however, that any payment of costs to be incurred shall be made before such obligations become delinquent. Upon the completion of such action(s), P2O shall notify Customer accordingly and Customer shall promptly instruct the Technology Consultant to examine, review and test the Goods as reasonably necessary to determine whether a COF can be issued, and, if a COF can be issued, to issue one promptly. Customer will provide P2O with any access to the Goods necessary, in P2O’s opinion, for such modification, repair, or replacement. If the Technology Consultant does not issue a COF, P2O shall have the options set forth at the end of the preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, within thirty (30) calendar days after P2O’s notification of completion to Customer (described above), P2O has not received either: (i) a COF for such Goods; or (ii) written notice of the reason(s) a COF cannot be issued for such Goods, then the COF will be deemed issued with respect to such Goods. If the Technology Consultant issues a COF for the Goods, or the COF is deemed issued, payment of the balance of the purchase price therefor shall be made within fifteen (15) days of Customer’s receipt of the COF for such Goods (or, where the COF is deemed issued, upon the date the COF is deemed issued).
5.5. As used herein, “Technology Consultant” shall mean a professional engineering firm, licensed in the jurisdiction in which the Goods are installed and intended to function, selected by Customer and reasonably acceptable to P2O. Whenever in this Contract it is provided that the Technology Consultant will take an action or make a determination, such action or determination shall be taken and made in the context of the Technology Consultant acting in its professional capacity, subject to the standards and practices of professional engineers in the locality and subject jurisdiction of the placed or installed Goods for which such action is being taken or determination made. P2O hereby consents to O’Brien & Xxxx Engineering, P.C. as the Technology Consultant.

5.6. In addition to the initial purchase price of Goods ordered pursuant to a Purchase Order, Customer may be required to make Increased Price Payments as defined and set forth in, and in accordance with, Schedule “A”.
5.7. If any payment is not made when due, interest will be added to and payable on all overdue amounts at one and one-half (1.5%) per month, or the maximum percentage allowed within applicable laws, whichever is less. Customer shall pay all costs of collection, including without limitation reasonable attorney fees. For purposes of interest accrual, P2O is not required to give formal notice of late payment.
5.8. At P2O’s option, exercised in connection with P2O’s acknowledgment of a Purchase Order for Goods hereunder by indicating with such acknowledgment “Letter of Credit Required” or otherwise providing written notice of such exercise, Customer shall cause to be issued within twenty (20) business days of P2O’s exercise of such option, for the account of Customer and for the benefit of P2O, an irrevocable letter of credit meeting the requirements in the next sentence (a “Letter of Credit”). Any Letter of Credit issued with respect to a Purchase Order must: (a) be issued by a state or federally chartered U.S. bank reasonably acceptable to P20; (b) allow presentation of drafts under the Letter of Credit by fax to the issuer of the Letter of Credit or allow presentation of drafts to the counters of the issuer of the Letter of Credit in Buffalo, New York; (c) provide for the total available amount to be drawn under the Letter of Credit equal to the total sum payable pursuant to such Purchase Order (but not in the potential amount of any Increased Price Payments as provided in Schedule “A”); (d) allow multiple draws; (e) allow a draw on presentation of a sight draft with a certificate signed by an authorized officer of P2O that the amount of the draw represents the amount that is due and payable to P2O with respect to such Purchase Order under the Contract at such time; (f) have an expiration date of no less than eighteen (18) months following the issuance date, and (g) be otherwise in form and content reasonably acceptable to P2O. If P2O exercises its option to require a Letter of Credit with respect to a Purchase Order, P2O will not begin any performance in connection with any Goods purchased under such Purchase Order until a Letter of Credit meeting the above requirements has been issued to P2O and will have no obligation to perform with respect to such Purchase Order if a Letter of Credit is not timely issued to P2O. Following the execution and delivery of this Contract, P2O and Customer will cooperate to come up with a preapproved form of Letter of Credit so that a Letter of Credit can be expeditiously issued if a Letter of Credit is required.

Goods shall be delivered FCA (Incoterms 2010) at P2O’s facility located at 00 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, or such facility acceptable to Customer in Customer’s reasonable discretion (the “FCA Facility”) on or before that date which is two hundred forty (240) days after P2O’s acknowledgement of the Purchase Order for the same or as mutually agreed in writing by the parties; provided, however, that with respect to the Initial Order, delivery shall occur within two hundred forty (240) days of Customer delivering to P2O written notice of the satisfaction or waiver of all the Contingencies or as mutually agreed in writing by the parties.

Schedule “A”
PRICING
1. Initial Order Price. The Price for any one or more Processors ordered via a Purchase Order dated as of or prior to the date upon which Customer delivers written notice to P2O of the satisfaction or waiver of the Financing Contingency (the “Initial Order”) shall be $2,500,000 per Processor (the “Initial Order Price”).
2. Subsequent Order Price. The Price for Processors ordered after the Initial Order (“Subsequent Orders” and “Subsequent Processors”) shall be $2,500,000 per Subsequent Processor subject to the CPI Adjustment described below (the “Subsequent Order Price”). Additionally, a Subsequent Order Price shall be subject to adjustment upwards based on the productivity of Subsequent Processors as provided below.
3. CPI Adjustment. Commencing with April 1, 2016 and continuing on the anniversary of such date throughout the Term, P2O shall notify Customer of the percentage change, if any, in the Consumer Price Index for “All Cities, All Urban Consumers” as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor (the “Index”) as published for the month of December in the preceding calendar year from the Index published for December 2014 (using the December 2014 Index as the base). Such percentage change in the Index shall be applied to the Initial Order Price to calculate the Subsequent Order Price for Purchase Orders dated from such April 1st date to March 31st of the following calendar year.
4. Subsequent Order Price Adjustments. Subsequent Order Prices shall be subject to upward adjustment based on productivity as follows:
(a) After the first year of Stabilized Operation (defined below) of a Subsequent Processor, the Subsequent Processor’s actual levels of the Performance Factors (defined in Schedule “B”) (“Actual Performance Levels”) for such year shall be compared to the Minimum Performance Levels. The percentage increase, if any, in the Actual Performance Levels over the Minimum Performance Levels (the “Initial Increase”) shall be applied to the Subsequent Order Price for such Subsequent Processor to establish a value (the “Initial Value Increase”), and 75% of the Initial Value Increase (an “Initial Increased Price Payment”) shall be due from Customer to P2O and paid in three (3) equal consecutive annual installments with the first installment due within sixty (60) days after the end of the first year of such Subsequent Processor’s Stabilized Operation and the second and third installments being due on or before the first and second anniversaries of the first payment date.
(b) In the event Actual Performance Levels for a Subsequent Processor’s first year of Stabilized Operation are equal to or lower than the Minimum Performance Levels, there shall be no initial price adjustment on such Subsequent Processor after the first year of Stabilized Operation. Such Subsequent Processor shall be eligible, however, for a price adjustment at the end of the third year of Stabilized Operation, as provided in the following paragraph.
(c) As a second possible adjustment (or a first possible adjustment for a Subsequent Processor for which there was no price adjustment after its first year of Stabilized Operation), at the end of the third year of Stabilized Operation of a Subsequent Processor, its average Actual Performance Levels for the first, second and third years of Stabilized Operation (the total divided by three) (the “3-Year Average”) shall be compared to the Minimum Performance Levels. In the event of an increase in the 3-Year Average over the Minimum Performance Levels:
18 |
(i) for a Subsequent Processor for which a price adjustment was made after the first year of its Stabilized Operation, if the amount of the increase in the 3-Year Average over the Minimum Performance Levels exceeds the Initial Increase Amount, the difference in such amounts (the “Additional Increase”) shall be applied to the Subsequent Processor’s Subsequent Order Price to establish a value (the “Additional Value Increase”), and 75% of the Additional Value Increase (the “Additional Increased Price Payment” shall be due from Customer to P2O and paid within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of the Subsequent Processor’s third year of Stabilized Operation; and
(ii) for a Subsequent Processor for which no price adjustment was made after its first year of Stabilized Operation, if such Subsequent processor’s 3-Year Average exceeds the minimum Performance Levels, the percentage increase in the Subsequent processor’s 3-Year Average over the minimum Performance levels shall be applied to its Subsequent Order Price to establish a value (the “3-Year Value Increase”), and 75% of such Subsequent Processor’s 3-Year Value Increase (a “3-Year Increased Price Payment”) shall be due from Customer to P2O and paid with thirty (30) days of the conclusion of the Subsequent Processor’s third year of Stabilized Operation.
(d) If a Subsequent Processor’s 3-Year Average is lower than the Model Performance Levels, the difference in such amounts (the “Decrease Amount”) shall be applied to the Subsequent Processor’s Subsequent Order Price to establish a value (the “Value Decrease”). The amount of the Value Decrease up to the amount of any Initial Increased Price Payment for the Subsequent Processor shall be due and payable by P2O to Customer and shall be paid first, by crediting to Customer the amount of any installments of the Initial Increased Price Payment yet to be paid for the Subsequent Processor; and thereafter, by Customer offsetting the License Fee due pursuant to the Technology Agreement as a result of the operation of the Subsequent Processor until the Value Decrease is paid in full; provided, however, that in the event of an expiration of the Term prior to the complete receipt by Customer of the amount of any and all Value Decrease payments due and owing to Customer, P2O shall pay to Customer all such due and owing sums on or prior to the last day of the Term.
(e) As used herein, the term “Stabilized Operation” shall mean a year of consecutive operation of a Processor, whether included as part of the Initial Order or a Subsequent Order, with breaks in operation only for scheduled maintenance and non-extraordinary repairs and/or replacements, at feedstock input levels equal to or exceeding those set forth in the Model at Schedule B – Exhibit A.
19 |
Schedule “B”
MINIMUM PERFORMANCE LEVELS
The Model attached hereto as Schedule B - Exhibit 1 sets forth levels and rates of plastic feedstock input and processing as well as levels of byproduct generation (each, a “Performance Factor” and collectively, the “Performance Factors”).
In connection with the Initial Order, subject to the satisfaction of the Pilot Program financing portion of the Financing Contingency set forth in Section 27.2, Customer shall institute a Pilot Program to ascertain the Performance Factor levels for the type(s) of plastic feedstock that Customer intends to process with the Initial Order Processors. Upon the completion of such Pilot Program, provided Customer has not terminated this Contract in accordance with Section 27.3, the Performance Factor levels established for the type of plastic feedstock processed during the Pilot Program shall constitute the “Minimum Performance Levels” for the Processors to be included in the Initial Order and for the tested feedstock(s) to be processed by such Processors, and shall be deemed incorporated into and made a part of this Contract
For Subsequent Orders, prior to submitting the same, if the type or preparation of the plastic feedstocks that Customer intends to process with the Subsequent Processor(s) is substantially different than the type of or preparation method for plastic feedstocks for which Minimum Performance Levels have been established in accordance with this Schedule “B” and Schedule B – Exhibit 1 hereto, Customer shall institute a Pilot Program for such feedstocks at the Test Facility or another location mutually acceptable to the parties and upon the completion of each such Pilot Program, the Performance Factor levels for the feedstocks and preparation methods tested pursuant thereto shall become the Minimum Performance Levels for the Subsequent Processors to be used for such feedstocks and preparation methods and the Pilot Program information and Minimum Performance Levels determined pursuant thereto shall be noted in the Purchase Order for each Subsequent Order, as applicable, and shall be deemed incorporated into and made a part of this Contract.
