2.4 Breach of Exclusivity. Other than for such joint sales calls as may be described in any marketing plan mutually agreed to by the Parties, or as otherwise agreed upon by the Parties, MagneGas shall not (directly or indirectly) contact or call upon any Customers in the Territory or cooperate with or support any person other than CSE, to promote the sale of, or sell Products in the Territory to Customers.
2.5 Minimum Royalty Requirement. To maintain its exclusive rights as distributor for Customers in any country in the Territory, CSE must pay Royalties to MagneGas that meet or exceed certain “Minimum Royalty Requirements” per Gasifier, based on gross revenues generated from (i) sales of Product, and (ii) any other revenue generated from employment of a Gasifier purchased by CSE from MagneGas as a Gasifier or recycler in such country in the Territory (for the avoidance of doubt, gross revenue excludes any other benefit generated from the Gasifiers, such as tax credits or cost savings resulting from employment of a Gasifier for CSE’s internal business purposes). The Minimum Royalty Requirements per Gasifier applicable for Mexico and other non-exclusive countries in the Territory are set forth on Exhibit A. Minimum Royalty Requirements for exclusive countries in the Territory other than Mexico shall be negotiated by the parties on a case-by-case basis. In the event that the Royalty paid to MagneGas during any calendar year is less than the Minimum Royalty Requirements amount, at MagneGas' option, CSE shall become a non-exclusive distributor in the applicable country in the Territory. In such case, the restrictions on MagneGas' sales and solicitation of sales of (x) Gasifiers to other Persons, or (y) Products to Customers in the such country in the Territory (whether directly or through sales representatives or distributors or otherwise), shall terminate. For clarification, CSE may fulfill the Minimum Royalty Requirement at any time with a cash payment, notwithstanding that it has not have achieved the required gross revenues.

To the extent consideration or other terms and conditions in the Brazil Offer cannot by their nature be duplicated or performed by CSE, the parties will negotiate in good faith to substitute other terms or cash consideration of equivalent value. CSE acknowledges that MagneGas has already been working with and is currently in negotiations with Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx and BCI Born Commerce International, LTDA, for development of the Brazil market. Accordingly, the terms that MagneGas may agree on with Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx and BCI Born Commerce International, LTDA (the “Xxxxx Xxxxxx Parties”) shall not be subject to the right of first refusal granted to CSE hereunder. Further, CSE agrees not to solicit MagneGas business for Brazil or elsewhere through any of the Xxxxx Xxxxxx Parties.

MagneGas will notify CSE of the terms of the MagneGas Offer in writing (the “MagneGas Offer Notice”). If MagneGas notifies CSE, in writing, within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the MagneGas Offer Notice that MagneGas desires to exercise its purchase right, and provided MagneGas is not in breach of this Agreement, MagneGas shall be afforded the opportunity to repurchase the Gasifiers and exclusive distribution rights in accordance with the following Buy-Out Formula. The “Buy-Out Formula” shall be: for each Gasifier being repurchased and distribution rights associated therewith, the Purchase Price shall equal the product of the greatest of pro forma 85% utilization or the actual average monthly output, times 12, then multiplied by the remaining rated life of the Gasifier, and then discounted for present value (NPV 10). For purposes of this calculation, a Gasifier’s rated life is assumed to be twenty years.

Plus additional equipment for the condensation of water vapor and their removal down to 5 PPM in Magnegas.
COOLING SYSTEM: Four external heat exchangers (shell and tube) connected to a chiller operated cooling system via antifreeze coolant and a pump that can be disconnected so that the heat from the heat exchanger can be used for conversion to electricity or other uses.
INDUSTRIAL TRANSFORMER: For use with local power supply.
ASSEMBLY
All the preceding components will meet CE Certification. Additionally the above components will be assembled in such a way to meet CE requirements as follows:
PAF Platform containing the PAF module, pumps and heat exchanger, hydrolic lift and related components
Magnegas Platform containing desiccant, expansion tank, back pressure regulator, Magnegas filter, Magnegas compression tank, compressor and additional desiccant.
Control Platform containing main control panels, transformer and various panels with circuit breakers for attachment to the grid.
Cooling Platform containing chillers operated with antifreeze and related pumps.
All the above platforms will have a maximum width of 8 feet (2.44 Meters) so that it can be transported on a low boy trailer. However, for operation in location they must be placed at certain relative distances of each other requested by CE certification according to a floor plan provided by Manufacturer.
ACCESSORIES
The above specified Refinery is delivered:
1) In fully operational and automatic condition;
19
2) With Operating Manual;
3) With List of suppliers and their addresses/phones for service;
4) With Spare electrodes for one month operation;
5) Training of up to three Buyer technicians for three weeks upon completion of the construction and for final testing prior to delivery.

1) BiFuel Car running on MagneGas
2) Electric Generator running on MagneGas
3) Metal Cutting Demonstration Kit
4) 5 Way Exhaust Analyzer
PERFORMANCE
PERFORMANCE IN THE TOTAL MODE
The Refinery will be recommended by the manufacturer for optimal efficiency according to the following two different specifications.
1) For Use to Produce Maximum Fuel Quantity:
To maximize fuel production it is necessary to use oil or hydrocarbon based waste. This Refinery is being delivered to process new ethylene glycol. The manufacturer also recommends the use of an oil based low density liquid feedstock such as ethylene glycol mixed with other oil based waste, as per manufacturer’s suggestion. The Refinery operating at full power, full pressure and full temperature may produce up to 3,000 cubic feet per hour of Magnegas fuel. Jointly the liquid recycled in this case is 1/1000 of the Magnegas produced corresponding to 10 gallons per hour in the absence of evaporation of water content.
DISCLAIMER
The production of Magnegas varies greatly with even minimal changes in the liquid feedstock. As an example when operating in water without any organic contaminants the production of Magnegas is expected to be less than half the maximum production indicated above.
It should be stressed that the Refinery cannot process on a continuous basis heavy oils, such motor oil waste, or crude oil or other oils, unless mixed with water because of the creation of fullerenes that require a special design of the PAF module for the continuous removal of excess carbon.
20
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This refinery is designed for use at high pressure and high temperature. However, for safety the manufacturer recommends using it with a maximum pressure of 30 psi. The Buyer may at their discretion obtain local government certification and insurance for high pressure use.
ELECTRODES:
The Refinery as above specified shall be delivered with Electrodes sufficient for a one month use. All additional electrodes have to be purchased by Buyer and/or user of the Refinery. During the construction of the Refinery, Manufacturer shall assist Buyer in the selection of its preferred supplier of electrodes.
Any manufacturing of the electrodes must receive the written approval by Manufacturer, not only in dimensions and tolerances, but also in material specifications. The use of electrodes not authorized by Manufacturer implies the automatic termination of all warranties because of expected malfunction as well as potential serious damage to the MagneGas Technology.
SPARE PARTS:
Spare parts for anticipated two years of use will be included such as filters, seals and other minor components.
SERVICE KIT:
A Service Kit containing the following items will be provided with each Refinery:
RTB 1/4 OD SOFT REF TUBE (50' ROLL)
Standard Brass Compression Tube Fitting Sleeve for 1/4" Tube OD
Filter Cartridge for Water & Organic Acids, Polypro, 10 Micron, 30" H
Polyester Felt Filter Bag 50 Micron, 8" Diameter X 32" Height
Coltri compressor Molecular sieve filters (x2)
Coltri compressor Intake filter
24” gasket
Phenolic holder seals
Electrodes for one Month Use
21
APPROVED LIQUID WASTE
The refinery should be solely used with liquid waste approved by the company in writing. Any use of liquid waste not approved by the company will imply the termination of the warranty. The gasification of engine oil waste and other oil very rich in carbon requires the continuous removal of the excess carbon produced during the process that can be done via high speed centrifuge specifically designed for that purpose and included in the Plasma Arc Flow loop.
INSTALLATION
Buyer is responsible for all setups needed to install the Refinery by using Buyer’s technicians trained at the Manufacturers plant.
PRODUCT WARRANTIES
Manufacturer hereby warrants that the Refinery will be delivered as identified in the Purchase Agreement of even date herewith and will have the performance specified therein and in this Exhibit B.
Manufacturer furthermore warrants the proper operation of the Automatic Control, the Automatic Refill, and the Automatic gas Station as herein stated for the duration of one year from the date of delivery, said warranty covering the payment by Manufacturer of all parts for their replacement.
All additional components of the Refinery carry a warranty from their own manufacturers. For instance, the Xxxxxx XX-DC Converters carry a written warranty from their manufacturer, the US Xxxxxx Corporation, and the same applies for pumps and all other standard parts not manufactured by Manufacturer. All such warranty details will be passed from Manufacturer to Buyer on or before delivery.EXHIBIT C
