(7) Mention is made that, as provided in paragraph 2 of the Refinery
Contract Extension Agreement dated April 2005, by and between Seller and PACE
Local 4-202 Union, Seller is obligated to pay the lump-sum payment of $900.00 to
all active bargaining unit employees on the payroll as of August 5, 2005 (such
employees being referred to herein as the "Labor Payment Employees" and such
lump-sum payment to each Labor Payment Employee being referred to herein as a
"Labor Payment"). The Assumed Contract Obligations shall include such obligation
of Seller to pay the Labor Payments, subject, however, to the following. Seller
and Buyers have estimated the Labor Payments to be $144,360.00 in the aggregate,
as shown by the calculations set forth in ATTACHMENT A hereto (the "Estimated
Labor Payments"), and the adjustment to the Base Purchase Price as reflected by
the amendment provided for in paragraph (3) hereof includes, in part, a downward
adjustment of the original Base Purchase Price by an amount equal to the
Estimated Labor Payments. On or before August 31, 2005, Refinery Buyer shall
make the Labor Payments and deliver to Seller a statement setting forth (a) the
name of all Labor Payment Employees to whom Labor Payments were made by Refinery
Buyer and (b) the total amount of all Labor Payments (the "Labor Payment
Statement"), which statement shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting
documentation. If the Labor Payments exceed the Estimated Labor Payments, then
Seller shall, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Labor Payment
Statement, make payment to Refinery Buyer by wire transfer of immediately
available funds of the amount of such excess. If the Estimated Labor Payments
exceed the Labor Payments, then Refinery Buyer shall make payment to Seller by
wire transfer of immediately available funds of the amount of such excess on or
before the date of delivery to Seller of the Labor Payment Statement.
(8) Paragraph (ii) of Section 3.4 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its
entirety and the following paragraph (ii) of Section 3.4 is hereby substituted
therefor:
Refinery Buyer acknowledges that, from time to time, Seller enters
into agreements for the future delivery of crude oil necessary for the continued
operation of the
2
Facility, and that Seller may deem it necessary to enter into such agreements
following the date hereof and through the Closing Date. Refinery Buyer further
acknowledges that some of those agreements require Seller to prepay for such
future deliveries of crude oil and others require that Seller provide the crude
oil supplier with letters of credit issued on behalf of Seller to secure
Seller's obligation to pay for such future deliveries of crude oil ("Crude
Supply LCs"). Prior to Closing, Seller and Buyers shall amend SCHEDULE A-3 to
include any such crude oil supply agreements entered into by Seller as
contemplated in this paragraph (ii) of Section 3.4. At Closing, Seller shall be
entitled to a credit in the Adjustment Statement for such prepayments for crude
oil to the extent such crude oil is not delivered prior to Closing. At Closing,
Refinery Buyer shall cause SunTrust Bank ("SunTrust") to deliver to Wachovia
Bank, National Association ("Wachovia"), irrevocable, standby letters of credit
in an aggregate face amount equal to $60,856,530.00 (being 105% of the amounts
available for drawing under the Crude Supply LCs then outstanding for May crude
plus $38,383,600.00 available for drawing under Crude Supply LCs for April
crude, and such Crude Supply LCs covered by the SunTrust standby letters of
credit being collectively referred to herein as the "Covered Crude Supply LCs"),
such that Wachovia, as issuer of such Covered Crude Supply LCs, may obtain
payment from SunTrust in the event the obligations secured by such Covered Crude
Supply LCs are not paid by Refinery Buyer pursuant to such crude oil supply
agreements, provided that, Refinery Buyer shall be entitled to a credit in the
Adjustment Statement for the amount of the Covered Crude Supply LCs for April
crude, and, provided further, that such credit shall be subject to adjustment
following Closing based upon the actual payments to become due to the crude
supplier for such April crude. Not less than two days prior to the Closing Date,
Seller will provide Refinery Buyer with an estimate of the aggregate amounts of
(a) prepayments for crude oil, (b) Crude Supply LCs and (c) crude oil received
under Crude Supply LCs, as contemplated in this paragraph (ii) of Section 3.4,
which amounts will be calculated by Seller from Sellers' books and records and
reflected in the Adjustment Statement, subject to post-Closing review and
adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.5.
(9) Mention is made that, in connection with the Pipeline Capacity Lease
Agreement by and between Seller and Plains Marketing, L.P. ("Plains"), Seller
has paid to Plains a cash deposit of $234,000.00 as security for the performance
of certain obligations of Seller thereunder. Seller and Buyers acknowledge and
agree that the amended Base Purchase Price provided for in paragraph (3) above
includes an upward adjustment of the original Base Purchase Price by an amount
equal to the cash deposit mentioned above in this paragraph and that such
adjustment shall be in lieu of any obligation of Buyers to furnish a replacement
security obligation for the cash deposit held by Plains in connection with such
Pipeline Capacity Lease Agreement.
(10) Reference is made to those certain crude oil supply agreements listed
on ATTACHMENT B hereto (the "Supply Contracts"). In the event any applicable
Transfer Requirement with respect to any such Supply Contract is not satisfied
prior to the Closing Date, then, pending the satisfaction of such Transfer
Requirement, such Supply Contract shall be held back from the Assets to be
tranferred and conveyed to Refinery Buyer at Closing, without reduction of the
Purchase Price, notwithstanding anything contained in Section 8.2 of the
Agreement to the contrary, provided, however, the following provisions of this
paragraph shall apply. For and with respect to the period following Closing
until such Transfer Requirements are satisfied, CCLLC and Refinery Buyer shall
negotiate in good faith with respect to, and shall
3
enter into, such lawful arrangements as are reasonably practicable under the
circumstances such that CCLLC shall transfer to Refinery Buyer, and Refinery
Buyer shall assume, all pretax benefits and burdens accruing after the Effective
Time with respect to such Supply Contracts, including, to the fullest extent
reasonably practicable, supply agreements between CCLLC, as seller, and Refinery
Buyer, as buyer, providing for the resale by CCLLC to Refinery Buyer of the
crude purchased by CCLLC under such Supply Contracts for the same price and on
the same terms (to the extent reasonably practicable), including delivery
points, as provided for in such Supply Contracts.
(11) Seller agrees to include in Seller's payroll for Transferred Employees
for the month of April, 2005, salaries and wages of such Transferred Employees
for Friday, April 29, 2005, even if Closing occurs on that date in which event
the Closing will be effective as of the Effective Time (i.e., 12:01 a.m.,
central time), on that date. Seller and Buyers acknowledge and agree that the
amended Base Purchase Price provided for in paragraph (3) above includes an
upward adjustment of the original Base Purchase Price by an amount equal to
$13,504.81, to reflect Seller's payroll costs for Friday, April 29, 2005.
(12) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Agreement,
imbalances, if any, existing as of the Effective Time with respect to crude oil
or product exchange agreements constituting Assigned Contracts shall be and
remain the right or obligation (as the case may be) of Seller or CCLLC, as
applicable, and Seller or CCLLC, as applicable, shall be solely responsible to
the counterparties to such exchange agreements for any and all balancing
obligations, of whatsoever kind or nature, arising from such imbalances, and
shall be entitled to any and all credits, payments or other entitlements owing
by such counterparties in respect of such imbalances, if any, existing as of the
Effective Time, and no adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made in respect
of any such imbalances.
(13) Reference is made to that certain sales contract by and between Seller
and Xxxxxx Petroleum LP listed on ATTACHMENT C hereto. To the extent, if any,
that Xxxxxx Petroleum LP is holding, as of the Effective Time, any cash deposit
securing the performance of any obligations of Seller under such sales contract,
Refinery Buyer agrees to pay to Seller, promptly following request therefor by
Seller in writing (accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation), an
amount equal to such deposit.
(14) Except as modified and amended hereby, the Agreement shall continue in
full force and effect and Seller and Buyers ratify and confirm the Agreement as
modified and amended hereby.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment is executed in multiple counterparts,
all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, as of the date
first above written.
