anyone claiming by, through or under such party, such party shall discharge the same of record
within sixty (60) days after the date of filing. Notwithstanding the above, each party hereto shall
have the right to contest any such mechanics’ lien or other similar lien if within said sixty (60)
day period stated above it notifies the other party in writing of its intention so to do and, if
requested by the other party, deposits with such party a bond in favor of such party, with a surety
company acceptable to such party as surety, in the total sum of at least one hundred twenty-five
percent (125%) of the amount of the lien claim so contested, indemnifying and protecting such party
from and against any liability, loss, damage, cost and expense of whatever kind or nature growing
out of or in any way connected with said lien and the contest thereof, and if, and provided
further, such party diligently prosecutes such contest, at all times effectively stays or prevents
any official or judicial sale of the BOC Plant Site or the Facilities, or any part thereof or
interest therein, under execution or otherwise, and pays or otherwise satisfies any final judgment

Agreement, (ii) performing, at Coffeyville Resources’ option, such work in and about the BOC Plant
Site as may be made necessary by reason of BOC’s default under any of the provisions of this
Agreement, (iii) conducting environmental assessment, monitoring or compliance activities, and
(iv) for such other purposes as Coffeyville Resources may reasonably determine to be necessary or
appropriate. Coffeyville Resources may, during the progress of said work and activities mentioned
in (ii) and (iii) above, keep and store on the BOC Plant Site all necessary materials, supplies
and equipment, and Coffeyville Resources shall not be liable for any inconvenience, annoyances,
disturbance, loss of business or other damage suffered by reason of the performance of any such
work or by the storage of materials, supplies and equipment or by Coffeyville Resources’ exercise
of any of its rights under this Agreement, except to the extent caused by the negligence of
Coffeyville Resources or its representatives or agents.

contractors working on or near the BOC Plant Site or in connection with the Gasification Project.
BOC shall cooperate with all such coordination efforts and shall take such steps as may be
reasonably required for the orderly progress of the Gasification Project without interruption or
disruption attributable to the acts or omissions of BOC. 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.
8
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
(***) 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

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.
(iii) “Lost Liquid Production” shall mean Liquid Production which is not realized by BOC
solely due to the supply of High Pressure Air Product by BOC to Coffeyville Resources pursuant to
this Agreement.
SECTION 5 ARGON, CO2 BYPRODUCT AND OTHER BYPRODUCTS
(a) During the Supply Period, BOC shall be entitled to retain, market and sell for its
own account: (i) all Argon produced by the BOC Plant; (ii) all CO2 Byproduct, except to
the extent retained by Coffeyville Resources or its affiliates and except to the extent otherwise
provided in or pursuant to Section 5(b) herein; and (iii) all other byproducts and other industrial
gases, in liquid or gaseous form, produced by the BOC Plant, including Product in excess of BOC’s
obligations to supply same to Coffeyville Resources hereunder. 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
(c) Upon request, a properly completed exemption certificate (where appropriate) for any tax
from which a party claims exemption shall be provided to the other party.
SECTION 7 PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
BOC warrants that all Products and gas sold and delivered to Coffeyville Resources under this
Agreement shall conform to the product specifications set forth in
Paragraph I of Exhibit A
hereto. THE WARRANTY SET FORTH IN THIS PARAGRAPH 7 IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES,
REPRESENTATIONS OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND OR
14
NATURE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN FACT OR BY LAW, RESPECTING THE PRODUCTS AND GAS
SOLD TO COFFEYVILLE RESOURCES.
SECTION 8 CLAIMS
Written notice of all claims having anything to do with any Products delivered by BOC
to the Coffeyville Pipelines or for failure to make timely delivery, shall be made within
forty-five (45) days of such delivery, or of the date on which such delivery was to have been
made, as the case may be. Written notice of all claims with respect
to billing matters shall be
made within one (1) year of the date of the relevant invoice. Failure by Coffeyville Resources to
give such written notice within such time shall constitute a complete defense for BOC against such
claims by Coffeyville Resources, except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 9 hereof.
SECTION 9 ALLOCATIONS OF RESPONSIBILITY
(a) BOC shall bear the risk of loss with respect to all Product until Product is
delivered by BOC to Coffeyville Resources under Section 3(b) hereof, at which time risk of loss
shall pass to Coffeyville Resources.
(b) Coffeyville Resources acknowledges that there are hazards associated with the use of
Product. BOC will provide Coffeyville Resources with Material Safety Data Sheets setting forth the
general hazards and safety information relating to Product. Coffeyville Resources hereby assumes
all responsibility for warning its employees and its independent contractors exposed to Product of
all such hazards and shall hold harmless and indemnify BOC from and against all liability arising
from any failure to make such warnings, such indemnification to be subject to the provisions of
Sections 19(e) and 19(f) hereof. BOC shall promptly notify Coffeyville Resources of any
additional hazards of which BOC may, from time to time, become aware.
(c) Final determination of the suitability of the Product (assuming such Product conforms to
the specifications and other requirements of this Agreement) for any use contemplated by
Coffeyville Resources is the sole responsibility of Coffeyville Resources, and BOC shall have no
responsibility in connection therewith. Coffeyville Resources shall avail itself of testing
devices to determine the purity of Product before Coffeyville Resources uses it at Coffeyville
Resources’ discretion, but no error in, or failure to make, any such test shall impair any right on
the part of Coffeyville Resources to pursue its remedies for breach of warranty hereunder.
(d) BOC shall obtain, comply with and preserve in full force and effect all Permits necessary
for the maintenance and operation of the BOC Facility. BOC shall cause all such Permits to be
made available for inspection by Coffeyville Resources. Coffeyville Resources shall cooperate with
BOC in obtaining and preserving all Permits necessary for the maintenance and operation of the BOC
Facility and shall reimburse BOC for the actual cost of such Permits. 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 xxxxxxxx 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 xxxx 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),

(ii) Such party has the corporate power to execute and deliver this Agreement and to
carry out the transactions contemplated hereby, and perform its obligations hereunder. The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby will not violate, nor constitute a breach or default under,
the constituent documents of such party or any provision of any
20
mortgage, lien, lease, agreement, instrument, order, judgment, decree, law, Permit or
other restriction of any kind or character to which such party is subject.
(iii) There is no claim, litigation or proceeding pending or, to the best knowledge of
such party, threatened against such party which, if decided adversely to such party, would
preclude it from consummating the transactions contemplated hereby or performing the
obligations hereunder or would subject the other party to any liability.
(iv) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such party and
is valid, binding and enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.
(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

opportunity to dispute or otherwise object to the required disclosure.
21
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

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.
