COKE SUPPLY
Section 2.1 Coke.
(a) Subject to the terms hereof, Refinery Company agrees to sell and deliver to Fertilizer
Company, and Fertilizer Company agrees to purchase and accept delivery of, each calendar year
during the term of this Agreement, an amount (the “Maximum Required Amount”) equal to the lesser of
(i) one hundred percent (100%) of the Coke produced at the Refinery during such calendar year, or
(ii) 500,000 tons of Coke. In the event that Refinery Company produces during a calendar month a
quantity of Coke that exceeds 41,667 tons of Coke (“Base Monthly Amount”), then Refinery Company
may sell the excess amount of Coke (“Excess Coke”) to any third party, provided that the Refinery
Company first gives the Fertilizer Company notice of the availability of such Excess Coke and the
option of Fertilizer Company to purchase all or part of such Excess Coke at the Purchase Price,
which option must be exercised by Fertilizer Company’s taking delivery of such Excess Coke within
ten (10) days following the
2
date Refinery Company gives notice of such Excess Coke to Fertilizer Company. Coke shall be
measured as provided for in Exhibit B.
(b) During the term of this Agreement, Refinery Company will (i) not less than thirty (30)
days prior to the commencement of each calendar quarter, provide Fertilizer Company with a good
faith written forecast, for the twelve (12) month period commencing on the first day of such
calendar quarter, of the quantity of Coke to be produced for such twelve (12) month period, and
(ii) on or before February 1 of each calendar year, provide Fertilizer Company with a good faith
written forecast for the three (3) calendar year period commencing on the first day of the calendar
year in which such forecast is provided. Such forecasts shall be part of, or consistent with,
Refinery Company’s business plan. It is understood that the forecasts provided in accordance with
this Section 2.1(a) are solely for the purpose of facilitating scheduling and delivery of Coke and
are not binding upon Refinery Company or Fertilizer Company. Refinery Company will not have any
liability to Fertilizer Company arising out of or relating to such forecasts.
Section 2.2 Price, Invoices and Payment.
(a) The price for Coke purchased hereunder will be as indicated on Exhibit A (the
“Purchase Price”).
(b) To the extent legally permissible, all present and future taxes imposed by any federal,
state, local or foreign authority which Refinery Company may be required to pay or collect, upon or
with reference to the sale, purchase, transportation, delivery, storage, use or consumption of
Coke, including taxes upon or measured by the receipts therefrom (except net income and equity
franchise taxes) will be for the account of Fertilizer Company.
(c) Refinery Company will invoice Fertilizer Company (as below provided), and Fertilizer
Company will pay Refinery Company via wire transfer, the net amount due per such invoices in
accordance with the payment provisions set forth in this Section 2.2.
(d) Invoices will be issued weekly, after the delivery of the Coke, in accordance with Section
2.3 and the price will be the price as in effect at the time of such delivery in accordance with
Exhibit A. All such invoices will be due net fifteen (15) days. Fertilizer Company will
make payment in full of the amount due under each invoice in strict compliance with the payment
terms as set forth in this Agreement without any deduction for any discount or credits, contra or
setoffs of any kind or amount whatsoever (including any claims against Refinery Company for any
reason other than a breach of this Agreement) unless expressly authorized in writing by Refinery
Company prior to the payment date relating to such invoice(s), and except that Fertilizer Company
shall be entitled to offset, against any amount payable by Fertilizer Company to Refinery Company
for Coke under this Agreement, any amounts payable from Refinery Company to Fertilizer Company for
Feedstocks or Services under the Feedstock and Shared Services Agreement. To the extent any amount
payable under this Agreement is not paid when due, then in addition to the amount payable and in
addition to all other available rights and remedies, Fertilizer Company also will be obligated to
pay interest on such amount payable from and after the due date for such payment until such payment
is made at a rate of interest per annum equal to three percent (3%) above the “prime rate” as
published from time to time in The
0
Xxxx Xxxxxx Journal as the base lending rate on corporate loans posted by at least
seventy-five percent (75%) of the thirty (30) largest United States banks (the “Late Payment
Rate”).
(e) As soon as available, and in any event within ninety (90) days after the end of the
Fertilizer Company’s fiscal year and forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the first three
fiscal quarters of the Fertilizer Company’s fiscal year, Fertilizer Company will provide financial
statements to Refinery Company to support its purchase of Coke under the terms of this Agreement on
an unsecured basis. In the event that, in Refinery Company’s sole judgment and utilizing financial
and credit metrics commonly used to analyze the Refinery Company’s existing customer base, there is
deemed to exist any material adverse change in the financial condition or liquidity of Fertilizer
Company and/or in the then current ability of Fertilizer Company to discharge its existing or
future payment obligations hereunder (a “Material Adverse Change”), Refinery Company will have the
right, upon written notice to Fertilizer Company, to require that Fertilizer Company provide
additional assurances (“Assurances”) to Refinery Company as security for Fertilizer Company’s
obligations hereunder, which notice shall include (i) a summary of the information upon which
Refinery Company has based its determination that such a Material Adverse Change has occurred, and
(ii) the dollar amount of the required Assurances (the “Assurance Amount”), which Assurance Amount
shall not exceed the product of the following: (A) the average daily dollar value of Coke
purchased by Fertilizer Company from Refinery Company for the ninety (90) day period preceding the
date on which Refinery Company gives notice to Fertilizer Company that a Material Adverse Change
has occurred, multiplied by (B) twenty-one (21). Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties with
respect to a Material Adverse Change that is the subject of such a notice, any requirement of such
Assurances with respect to such Material Adverse Change shall be satisfied only by Fertilizer
Company’s delivery to Refinery Company of Assurances in the form and nature of any of the
following: (i) an irrevocable standby or documentary letter of credit, for a duration and in an
amount sufficient to cover the Assurance Amount, in a format reasonably satisfactory to Refinery
Company and issued or confirmed by a bank reasonably acceptable to Refinery Company; (ii) a
prepayment to cover the Assurance Amount; and/or (iii) a surety instrument for a duration and in an
amount sufficient to cover the Assurance Amount, in a format reasonably satisfactory to Refinery
Company and issued by a financial institution or insurance company reasonably acceptable to
Refinery Company. All bank charges relating to any letter of credit and any fees, commissions,
premiums, costs and expenses incurred with respect to furnishing such Assurances will be for
Fertilizer Company’s account. Fertilizer Company agrees, at any time and from time to time upon
the request of Refinery Company, 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
Refinery Company may reasonably request in order to fully effect the purposes of this Section
2.2(e). If Fertilizer Company does not provide such Assurances within five (5) days following the
giving of written notice by Refinery Company that a Material Adverse Change has occurred and that
such Assurances are required, Refinery Company may, in addition to any and all remedies available
to Refinery Company hereunder or at law or in equity, require Fertilizer Company to pay for future
deliveries of Coke on a cash-on-delivery basis, failing which Refinery Company may suspend further
delivery of Coke until such Assurances are provided and terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30)
days prior written notice to Fertilizer Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, Fertilizer Company may, within sixty (60) days after it provides Assurances to Refinery
Company as required hereunder, terminate this Agreement upon five (5) days prior written notice to
Refinery
4
Company, provided that such termination shall not limit or affect the right of Refinery
Company to draw upon the Assurances, or pursue any other remedies available hereunder, at law, or
in equity, with respect to any obligations of Fertilizer Company hereunder. Any Assurances
provided by Fertilizer Company shall be promptly released following such termination and
satisfaction of any remaining obligations to Refinery Company.
Section 2.3 Delivery, Title, and Risk of Loss.
(a) Delivery of Coke to Fertilizer Company will take place FOB Refinery in the eastern half of
the Refinery’s Coke pit (the “Delivery Point”) and will be loaded at the Delivery Point by
Fertilizer Company, at its expense, into transport trucks supplied by Fertilizer Company or its
contractor. Title and risk of loss to the Coke delivered under this Agreement will pass from
Refinery Company to Fertilizer Company upon loading of the Coke into such trucks at the Delivery
Point. Refinery Company shall permit such trucks to enter upon Refinery premises as reasonably
necessary to load the Coke into such trucks and related ingress and egress.
(b) Fertilizer Company is required to take delivery of Coke and remove it from the Delivery
Point on a ratable basis so that Coke inventory accumulation at the Delivery Point will not exceed
1,500 tons at any time, and so that the Delivery Point will, at least once during every calendar
day, not contain any Coke (other than residual Coke fines or Coke that is at or below the water
level in the Coke pit at the Delivery Point). In the event that the daily production of Coke by
Refinery Company increases, Fertilizer Company will be required to take delivery of Coke as often
as is necessary based upon the increased production by Refinery Company so as to continue to
satisfy Fertilizer Company’s obligations under the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Fertilizer Company shall have no obligation to take delivery of Excess Coke unless
Fertilizer Company elects to purchase such Excess Coke.
(c) If Fertilizer Company does not take delivery of the Coke in accordance with this
Agreement, such quantities will be delivered by Refinery Company on Fertilizer Company’s behalf to
the Intermediate Coke Storage Site. Fertilizer Company will pay Refinery Company for all Coke
delivered into the Intermediate Coke Storage Site, the Purchase Price, plus Refinery Company’s
costs of delivering the Coke. Title and risk of loss or damage to such Coke will pass to
Fertilizer Company upon delivery into the Intermediate Coke Storage Site, and Refinery Company will
invoice Fertilizer Company, pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.2(d), the Purchase
Price plus the fee upon delivery into the Intermediate Coke Storage Site.
Section 2.4 Sampling, Analysis and Weighing.
(a) Refinery Company will sample the Coke produced by each production turn and the Coke
purchased by Fertilizer Company as per its standard practice, perform chemical and physical
analyses in accordance with Exhibit B, and either average the analyses of such samples, or
composite the samples for one analysis, to determine a weekly average analysis that will be deemed
to be the analysis of Coke loaded into trucks by Fertilizer Company or delivered to Fertilizer
Company, as the case may be, during such week. The weekly weighted average Coke analysis will be
transmitted electronically or telefaxed to such Person as Fertilizer Company may from time to time
direct as soon as available, it being understood that such analysis will be available as soon as
practicable, normally within 24 to 48 hours of the analyzed Coke’s delivery.
5
Such weekly average analyses will be rebuttably presumptively correct as to the quality of
Coke sold hereunder; however, if Fertilizer Company should encounter material discrepancies between
Refinery Company’s weekly average analyses and Fertilizer Company’s own quality analyses,
Fertilizer Company and Refinery Company will meet to discuss the reasons for such discrepancies and
any appropriate remedial action. If Fertilizer Company encounters any such material discrepancy,
then Fertilizer Company will retain a sample of the Coke sampled pursuant to this Section 2.4(a)
for its own quality analysis, labeled so as to identify the truck load that was sampled. In the
event that Fertilizer Company and Refinery Company cannot agree as to the quality of the Coke,
either party may, without limitation, submit such dispute for resolution in accordance with ARTICLE
4.
(b) Refinery Company shall give to Fertilizer Company at least twenty-four (24) hours advance
notice if Refinery Company has actual knowledge that any petroleum coke to be made available for
delivery to Fertilizer Company hereunder on a specified date will not meet the specifications for
Coke set forth on Exhibit A (“Off-Spec Coke”). Fertilizer Company shall have the right to
refuse delivery of such Off-Spec Coke, provided that if Fertilizer Company does accept delivery of
any Off-Spec Coke, then such Off-Spec Coke accepted by Fertilizer Company shall be deemed Coke for
all other purposes of this Agreement. In the event that Refinery Company gives advance notice of
Off-Spec Coke to Fertilizer Company, with respect to the Coke that is available on more than twenty
(20) days in any calendar year, or Off-Spec Coke is otherwise delivered to Fertilizer Company on
more than twenty (20) days in any calendar year, and Fertilizer Company is required to incur
additional capital costs to handle such Off-Spec Coke (“Off-Spec Costs”), then Fertilizer Company
shall give written notice of such Off-Spec Costs to Refinery Company and the Refinery Company
shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, elect by written notice to Fertilizer Company to either
(i) adjust the Purchase Price on a mutually agreeable commercially reasonable basis to address such
additional Off-Spec Costs, or (ii) share such additional Off-Spec Costs on a mutually agreeable
commercially reasonable basis.
(c) Refinery Company shall give to Fertilizer Company not less than three (3) years advance
written notice (the “Advance Sustained Off-Spec Notice”) that Refinery Company reasonably
anticipates, based upon reasonably expected expansion or revamp plans for the Refinery or
reasonably expected changes in the feedstocks used in the production of Coke, that the Coke to be
made available hereunder will, for a sustained period of more than seven (7) consecutive days, have
either of the following (“Sustained Off-Spec Coke”): (i) HGI below 30, or (ii) sulfur content in
excess of 5.0 wt. %. Fertilizer Company shall determine, on a commercially reasonable basis, and
deliver to Refinery Company within ninety (90) days following the Advance Sustained Off-Spec
Notice, written notice of the additional capital costs that Fertilizer Company reasonably
anticipates that it will be required to incur in order to handle such Sustained Off-Spec Coke on a
commercially reasonable basis (“Sustained Off-Spec Costs”). Following receipt by Refinery Company
of such notice of Sustained Off-Spec Costs, the Refinery Company shall, within ninety (90) days
thereafter, elect by written notice to Fertilizer Company to either (i) adjust the Purchase Price
on a mutually agreeable commercially reasonable basis to address such additional Sustained Off-Spec
Costs, or (ii) direct Fertilizer Company to invoice Refinery Company for the actual commercially
reasonable Sustained Off-Spec Costs as and when incurred by Fertilizer Company, which invoice shall
include reasonable documentation of such Sustained Off-Spec Costs as incurred, and Refinery Company
shall pay to
6
Fertilizer Company the amount of such invoice within thirty (30) days following receipt of
such invoice.
(d) Fertilizer Company reserves the right to perform quality analyses more often than weekly
and, in the event that any such quality analyses demonstrates a material discrepancy between the
analyses performed by Refinery Company and Fertilizer Company, such discrepancy shall be addressed
as provided in Section 2.4(a).
(e) With respect to shipments of Coke, the quantities used for billing hereunder will be as
determined in accordance with the Coke quantity measurement provision in Exhibit B.
Section 2.5 Terms and Conditions of Sale.
(a) In the event that any shipment of Coke does not conform to the applicable specifications,
the Party discovering the nonconformity will provide prompt written notice to the other Party (and
in any event, within two (2) days after the arrival of the shipment) of the nonconformity, which
notice will include copies of all analyses and other documentation describing and quantifying the
nonconformity, and the Parties will promptly undertake negotiations in good faith to effectuate an
appropriate disposition of the nonconforming material, which may include an equitable price
adjustment. In the event that the Parties are unable to agree to an appropriate disposition of the
nonconforming material within fourteen (14) days, either Party may submit such dispute for
resolution in accordance with ARTICLE 4 hereof.
(b) In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
terms or conditions contained in any notice, shipment, specifications, purchase order, sales order,
acknowledgement or other document which may be used in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will supersede and
govern, unless expressly waived in accordance with Section 11.5.
Section 2.6 Warranty. Except for Off-Spec Coke identified in advance and delivered to
Fertilizer Company in accordance with Section 2.4(b), Refinery Company warrants that all Coke sold
by Refinery Company hereunder will conform to the specifications set forth in Exhibit A.
OTHER THAN AS AFORESAID, REFINERY COMPANY MAKES NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE ARE
HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED BY REFINERY COMPANY AND EXCLUDED HEREUNDER. Refinery Company will not
be liable for any incidental, consequential or punitive damages, losses or expenses based upon,
resulting from, or arising out of any breach of this Agreement by Refinery Company or any use of,
or the inability to use, the Coke for any purpose whatsoever.
ARTICLE 3
TERM
Section 3.1 Term. This Agreement shall be for an initial term of twenty (20) years. The
term of this Agreement shall be automatically extended following the initial term for additional

the Breaching Party. For purposes hereof, an “Event of Breach” shall occur when a breach of this
Agreement by the Breaching Party has not been cured by such Breaching Party within ten (10) days
after receipt of written notice thereof from the Terminating Party with respect to breach of any
monetary payment obligation, or, in the case of a breach other than of any monetary payment
obligation, within thirty (30) days after such receipt, or, in the case of a breach that is not

the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement (each a “Dispute”) pursuant to this
Article 4. The Parties shall first submit the Dispute to the Fertilizer Company Representative and
the Refinery Company Representative, who shall then meet within fifteen (15) days to resolve the
Dispute. If the Dispute has not been resolved within forty-five (45) days after the submission of

ARTICLE 5
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 5.1 Indemnification Obligations. Each of the Parties (each, an “Indemnitor”) shall
indemnify, defend and hold the other Party and its respective officers, directors, members,
managers and employees (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against all liabilities,
obligations, claims, losses, damages, penalties, deficiencies, causes of action, costs and
expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses (collectively, “Losses”)
imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against the Person seeking indemnification that are caused
by, are attributable to, result from or arise out of the breach of this Agreement by the Indemnitor
or the negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitor, or of any officers, directors, members,
managers, employees, agents, contractors and/or subcontractors acting for or on behalf of the
Indemnitor. Any indemnification obligation pursuant to this Article 5 with respect to any
particular Losses shall be reduced by all amounts actually recovered by the Indemnitee from third
parties, or from applicable insurance coverage, with respect to such Losses. Upon making any
payment to any Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee
against any third party in respect of the Losses to which such payment relates, and such Indemnitee
shall execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and
9
perfect such subrogation rights. If the Indemnitee receives any amounts from any third party or
under applicable insurance coverage subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnitor,
then such Indemnitee shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitor for any payment made or expense
incurred by such Indemnitor in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the
amount received by the Indemnitee, net of any expenses incurred by such Indemnitee in collecting
such amount.
Section 5.2 Indemnification Procedures.
(a) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action that
may result in a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 5, the Indemnitee shall notify
the Indemnitor in writing within 30 days thereafter; provided, however, that any omission to so
notify the Indemnitor will not relieve it of any liability for indemnification hereunder as to the
particular item for which indemnification may then be sought (except to the extent that the failure
to give notice shall have been materially prejudicial to the Indemnitor) nor from any other
liability that it may have to any Indemnitee. The Indemnitor shall have the right to assume sole
and exclusive control of the defense of any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 5,
including the choice and direction of any legal counsel.
(b) An Indemnitee shall have the right to engage separate legal counsel in any action as to
which indemnification may be sought under any provision of this Agreement and to participate in the
defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
Indemnitee unless (i) the Indemnitor has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the
Indemnitor has failed to assume the defense thereof and engage legal counsel within a reasonable
period of time after being given the notice required above, or (iii) the Indemnitee shall have been
advised by its legal counsel that representation of such Indemnitee and other parties by the same
legal counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct (whether or
not such representation by the same legal counsel has been proposed) due to actual or potential
conflicts of interests between them. It is understood, however, that to the extent more than one
Indemnitee is entitled to engage separate legal counsel at the Indemnitor’s expense pursuant to
clause (iii) above, the Indemnitor shall, in connection with any one such action or separate but
substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of only one separate
firm of attorneys at any time for all such Indemnitees having the same or substantially similar
claims against the Indemnitor, unless but only to the extent the Indemnitees have actual or
potential conflicting interests with each other.
(c) The Indemnitor shall not be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its
written consent, but if settled with such written consent, or if there is a final judgment against
the Indemnitee in any such action, the Indemnitor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Indemnitee to the extent provided above from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense by reason of such settlement or judgment.
10
ARTICLE 6
ASSIGNMENT
This Agreement shall extend to and be binding upon the Parties hereto, their successors and
permitted assigns. Either Party may assign its rights and obligations hereunder solely (i) to an
affiliate under common control with the assigning Party, provided that any such assignment shall
require the prior written consent of the other Party hereto (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), and provided that the applicable assignee agrees, in a written instrument
delivered to (and reasonably acceptable to) such other Party, to be fully bound hereby, or (ii) to
a Party’s lenders for collateral security purposes, provided that in the case of any such
assignment each Party agrees (x) to cooperate with the lenders in connection with the execution and
delivery of a customary form of lender consent to assignment of contract rights and (y) any delay
or other inability of a Party to timely perform hereunder due to a restriction imposed under the
applicable credit agreement or any collateral document in connection therewith shall not constitute
a breach hereunder. In addition, each Party agrees that it will assign its rights and obligations
hereunder to a transferee acquiring all or substantially all of the equity in or assets of the
assigning Party related to the Refinery or Fertilizer Plant (as applicable), which transferee must
be approved in writing by the non-assigning Party (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) and must agree in writing (with the non-assigning Party) to be fully bound hereby.

- Quantity measurement
|
Refinery Company shall, upon opening a coke drum and prior to emptying the contents of such coke drum into the coke pit, determine Coke quantity by measuring the “outage” for a coke drum which is the distance from the designated spot near the top of each coke drum down to the level in the drum where the Coke begins. An outage table, attached as Appendix 1 to this Exhibit B, will then be utilized along with the measured outage to determine the quantity of Coke in the coke drum. The Coke quantity so determined shall be recorded in the Refinery Company’s outage log. A copy of the outage log shall be provided to Fertilizer Company with each invoice. Refinery Company shall maintain for three (3) years all records related to the determination of Coke quantity along with the outage log and the Fertilizer Company, upon reasonable request, may review such records and logs and may observe the physical measurement of the coke drum outage. | |
