this Section 3(e).
(i) Not more often than two (2) times in any calendar year, upon not
less than ten (10) business days prior written notice from Coffeyville
Resources, Linde shall supply CDA Product, on a temporary basis, from the
Linde Facility for a period of not more than an aggregate of two (2) weeks
in any calendar year, for maintenance on the Coffeyville Equipment. During
such temporary supply of CDA Product, the Production and Delivery
Capabilities of Linde Facility will be in accordance with Section II.E.1 of
Exhibit A. Additionally, during such temporary supply of CDA
Product, the cap for Lost Liquid Production will be $70,000 in any single
month. If Coffeyville Resources requires the temporary supply of CDA
Product for a period greater than two (2) weeks, the cap for Lost Liquid
Production will not be applicable until such temporary supply of CDA Product
is terminated.
(ii) In the event that the Coffeyville Equipment is unable to produce
CDA Product, Coffeyville Resources may request emergency supply of CDA
Product from the Linde Facility. Within the limitations of the existing
operating mode of the Linde Facility at the time such request is made, Linde
shall use reasonable commercial efforts to supply, on an as available basis,
Coffeyville Resources’ requirements for CDA Product, up to 351,000 scfh of
CDA Product. Within 24 hours of such request for emergency supply of CDA
Product, Linde will adjust the operations of the Linde Facility to provide
Coffeyville Resources’ requirements for CDA Product, up to 351,000 scfh.
Upon receipt of such emergency request, Product allocation above Xxxxx 0 of
the Product Nomination Procedure (Exhibit L) will be suspended while Linde
is supplying CDA Product pursuant to this Section 3(e)(ii). While Linde is
supplying CDA Product pursuant to this Section 3(e)(ii), the cap for Lost
Liquid Production will not be applicable. Linde’s obligation to supply CDA
Product pursuant to this Section 3(e)(ii) shall be limited to an aggregate
of ninety (90) days during the term of this Agreement.
(f) Promptly after the Effective Date, Coffeyville Resources shall install
equipment (the “Coffeyville Equipment”) necessary to supply the Coffeyville
Facilities and the adjacent Refinery with CDA Product. Upon receipt of notice from
Coffeyville Resources that this equipment has been installed and is capable of
supplying CDA Product, Linde’s obligation to supply CDA Product under the Agreement
shall terminate, except as set forth in Section 3(e) to the Agreement. The date on
which Linde receives such notice is hereinafter referred to as the “CDA Supply
Termination Date”.”
6. Pricing and Payment. Section 4(e) of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following, and a new Section 4(f) is added as follows:
“(e) Subject to Section 3(e) and during the Supply Period, Coffeyville
Resources will provide a monthly credit to Linde for Lost Liquid Production. The
credit shall be calculated on a monthly basis using the following formula:
($46/ton)[(OperatingDaysin
Month)(120) – (ActualTonsLiquidProduction)]=Credit
and will be capped in any single month as follows:
| 1. | $70,000 — upon execution of the First Amendment or during periods of interim CDA Product supply of Section 3(e). | ||
| 2. | The cap will be reduced by $3,000 upon completion of the PPU Retrofit. | ||
| 3. | The cap will be reduced by an additional $4,250 upon notification from Coffeyville Resources that their equipment supplying CDA Product is operational. | ||
| 4. | The cap will be reduced by an additional $21,750 upon notification by Linde that the Dense Fluid Expander is operational. |
The $46/ton price and the cap described above 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). For the purposes of the cap
adjustment, the appropriate reduction will be taken before making the adjustment.
For example, after the PPU Retrofit, CDA Product removal, and Dense Fluid Expander
installation, the total reduction would be $29,000. The monthly adjustment of the
cap for total power would be made on the new cap of $41,000. The actual total power
cost in June 2005 was $0.03965/KWH. As an example, attached as Exhibit K is
the adjustment calculation per this paragraph for July 2005.
(f) Electricity is required for the operation of the Neon recovery equipment
(the “Neon Electricity”). Linde will meter the Neon Electricity (subject to the
right of Coffeyville Resources to monitor such meter), and reimburse Coffeyville
Resources monthly based upon the actual total power cost as billed to Coffeyville
Resources by the City of Coffeyville, Kansas (expressed as $/KWH). The Neon
Electricity shall be deducted from the “Actual Usage” when performing the “Excess
Power Calculation” (as such terms are used in Exhibit F-3).”
7. Xxxxx, XX0 Byproduct and other Byproducts. Section 5(a) of the
Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“(a) During the Supply Period, Linde shall be entitled to retain, market and
sell for its own account: (i) all Argon produced by the Linde 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 or other industrial gases, in liquid or
gaseous form, including Neon, Krypton, and Xenon, produced by the Linde Plant,
including Product in excess of Linde’s obligations to supply same to Coffeyville
Resources hereunder. Linde 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 waste generated by the Linde Plant (including
from CO2 Byproduct delivered to Linde) 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 Linde, its affiliates and affiliates of Coffeyville
Resources.”
8. Product Specifications. Section 7 of the Agreement is amended to add the following
to that section:
“If the Crude Gaseous Nitrogen does not conform to the specifications therefor
(“Non-Conforming Crude Gaseous Nitrogen”), Linde shall notify Coffeyville
Resources promptly by telephone or by such other method as agreed by the Parties
(e.g., by electronic mail) upon discovery of such nonconformance, which notice shall
include (a) the particulars of any nonconformance and (b) the expected duration
thereof, and Linde shall promptly discontinue the supply of Non-Conforming Crude
Gaseous Nitrogen to Coffeyville Resources.”

EXHIBIT L
PRODUCT NOMINATION PROCEDURE
Production of Product from the Linde Plant shall be allocated using the following Product
Nomination procedure. For ease of presentation, the following terms are defined for use with this
procedure:
HPGO — means the High Pressure gaseous Oxygen Product referenced in Section II.A of Exhibit A.
GAN — means the gaseous Nitrogen Product referenced in Section II.D of Exhibit A.
LOX — means liquid Oxygen Product produced by the Linde Plant
LIN — means liquid Nitrogen Product produced by the Linde Plant
For the purposes of this nomination procedure, the following production levels for Product are
defined:
Xxxxx 0 — Product to Coffeyville Resources
1,588,000 scf per hour of HPGO, and
The scf per hour of GAN as set forth in Section II.D of Exhibit A
The scf per hour of GAN as set forth in Section II.D of Exhibit A
Level 2 — Product to Linde
The scf per hour of LOX/LIN as follows:
| • | Upon execution of this First Amendment — 60,000 scf per hour | ||
| • | Following the CDA Supply Termination Date and subsequent supply of CDA Product off the Linde Plant is stopped — an additional 10,000 scf per hour | ||
| • | Upon notification by Linde that the Dense Fluid Expander is operational — an additional 30,000 scf per hour |
When producing LOX/LIN at the 100,000 scf per hour rate of production, no more than 40,000
scf per hour of that production may be as LOX.
Xxxxx 0 — Product to Coffeyville Resources
Next 50,000 scf per hour of HPGO, and
| • | Up to 1,683,000 scf per hour of HPGO | ||
| • | Subject to the limitations of HPGO production & delivery equipment |
Next 50,000 scf per hour of GAN
| • | Up to 50,000 scf per hour above the amount specified by Xxxxx 0 above | ||
| • | Subject to the limitations of GAN compression equipment |
Level 4 — Product to Linde (next 60,000 scf per hour of Product produced
Next 60,000 scf per hour of LOX/LIN
Level 5
Any Product production above Level 4
This production may be allocated to either Linde or Coffeyville Resources as agreed in nomination discussions between the parties
This production may be allocated to either Linde or Coffeyville Resources as agreed in nomination discussions between the parties
The following guidelines are to be followed when utilizing the nomination procedure.
| • | The nomination period lasts for two (2) weeks and commences on Monday at noon. | ||
| • | Nominations can be reset during the two (2) week period if the Linde Plant experiences an interruption of operation, or upon the mutual agreement of both parties. | ||
| • | All nominations for Product in Level 3, 4 and 5 are if the Linde Plant is then capable of the listed production levels. | ||
| • | Nomination options are made 1 week in advance of the nomination period. | ||
| • | Partial nominations within a Level are permitted. |
| • | For example, Coffeyville Resources can elect to take 20,000 scf per hour of GAN production as the only nomination in Level 3. That selection would last for the two (2) week nomination period and any production capacity of the Linde Plant above that 20,000 scf per hour would be available to Linde under Level 4. |
| • | Any Product in a Level not being consumed by one party, may be made available, on an as-available basis, to the other party. |
| • | For example, due to a full storage condition, Linde has to back down the LOX/LIN production from 100,000 scf per hour to 20,000 scf per hour. This 80,000 scf per hour of production would be made available to the pipelines until sufficient room in the liquid storage was available to resume full production. |
| • | Semi-annually, both parties will examine consumption of nominated Product in Levels 3, 4 and 5 for the prior six (6) month period. If consumption of the nominated Product volumes is below 35%, and the other party requested a release of the unconsumed volume, but that release was refused, then the consuming party shall pay for 35% of the nominated Product volume at the current pricing. | ||
| To request a release of an unconsumed volume in a nominated Level, the party requesting the release will submit a notice of that request to the other party. The other party must respond within 24 hours. Failure to respond will designate a release of the unconsumed volume. |
| • | For example, Coffeyville Resources nominates 50,000 scf per hour of HPGO and 50,000 scf per hour of GAN for Level 3. However, for some reason, Coffeyville Resources’ consumption has only been at 20,000 scf per hour of HPGO and 20,000 scf per hour of GAN. Linde can request a release of the 30,000 scf per hour of HPGO and 30,000 scf per hour of GAN in order to produce LOX/LIN in Level 4. |
| • | Linde has the nomination rights for Xxxxx 0, only during the months of July, August, and September. Coffeyville Resources has the nomination rights for Level 5 during the remaining months of the year. | ||
| • | Once per year, either party may, with 30 days written notice, elect to deny the other party’s nomination rights above Xxxxx 0 for a two (2) week period. This two (2) week period does not necessarily have to coincide with a normal nomination period and the normal nomination process will continue in the background. |
