ARTICLE 4
PAYMENT
Section 4.1 Payment. Any amount payable hereunder shall be represented by an invoice
therefor provided by the Party to receive said payment to the other Party. All such invoices shall
be submitted weekly (or on such other periodic basis as the Parties may agree to in writing from
time to time with respect to any particular Feedstock or Service) and set forth sufficient detail
to reflect the determination of the amount payable hereunder. Unless otherwise indicated, all such
invoices will be due net fifteen (15) days. The Parties shall 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 unless expressly authorized in writing by each Party prior to the payment date relating
to such invoice(s), and except that each Party shall be entitled to offset, against any amount
payable by such Party to the other Party for Feedstocks or Services hereunder or for Coke under the
Coke Supply Agreement, any amounts payable from such other Party for Feedstocks or Services
hereunder.
Section 4.2 Delinquencies. 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, the applicable Party also shall 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 (the “Late Payment Rate”).
ARTICLE 5

resolve promptly and amicably any dispute between the Parties arising out of or relating to this
Agreement (each a “Dispute”) pursuant to this Article 5. 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 the Dispute to the Fertilizer Company
Representative and the Refinery Company Representative, the Dispute shall be submitted to a
mutually agreed non-binding mediation. The costs and expenses of the mediator shall be borne
equally by the Parties, and the Parties shall pay their own respective attorneys’ fees and other
costs. If the Dispute is not resolved by mediation within ninety (90) days after the Dispute is
first submitted to the Refinery Company Representative and the Fertilizer Company Representative as
provided above, then the Parties may exercise all available remedies.
Section 5.2 Multi-Party Disputes. The Parties acknowledge that they or their
respective affiliates contemplate entering or have entered into various additional agreements with
third parties that relate to the subject matter of this Agreement and that, as a consequence,
Disputes may arise hereunder that involve such third parties (each a “Multi-Party Dispute”).
Accordingly, the Parties agree, with the consent of such third parties, that any such Multi-Party
14
Dispute, to the extent feasible, shall be resolved by and among all the interested parties
consistent with the provisions of this Article 5.
ARTICLE 6
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 6.1 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 6 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 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 6.2 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 6, 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 6,
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
15
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.
ARTICLE 7
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.

Section 10.1 Cooperation. Refinery Company and Fertilizer Company shall cause their
respective personnel located at the Refinery and the Fertilizer Plant to fully cooperate with, and
comply with the reasonable requests of, the other Party and its employees, agents and contractors
to support such other Party’s operations in a safe and efficient manner; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section 10.1 shall require the expenditure of any monies other than may otherwise
be required elsewhere in this Agreement. In addition, the Parties agree to (i) meet promptly
following the request by either Party to develop a long term plan for the bifurcation of those
properties and services that one Party or the other deems appropriate to bifurcate and (ii)
cooperate fully with each other to implement such plan in an expeditious and cost effective manner.

Parties under this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement is intended as, or shall be construed
to be, any agreement on the part of Fertilizer Company to operate the Fertilizer Plant in any
particular manner or to continue operations at the Fertilizer Plant, all in its sole discretion;

provision of one or more of the Feedstocks or Services by the Parties may be temporarily suspended
for such periods of time as are necessary to carry out scheduled or unscheduled maintenance or
necessary repairs or improvements to the Refinery or the Fertilizer Plant, as the case may be
(each, a “Temporary Service Suspension”). In connection with any such Temporary Service
Suspension, Refinery Company or Fertilizer Company (as applicable) may elect to reduce, interrupt,
allocate, alter or change the Feedstock or Services that it is required to provide hereunder,
provided that, except in the case of emergencies, the applicable Party shall deliver not less than
thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other Party of any planned Temporary Service
Suspension, including relevant details relating to the proposed reduction, interruption,
allocation, alteration or change in the Feedstock or Services as a result of the Temporary Service
Suspension. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of Temporary Service Suspension, the
parties shall cooperate to attempt to arrange for Feedstock or Services to be furnished to the
other Party in an alternate manner or by a third party acceptable to affected Party, to minimize or
reduce the effect of such Temporary Service Suspension on the applicable Party’s operations.
(b) Emergency Repairs. The Parties shall provide notice to the other as soon as
reasonably possible (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) in the event of any emergency
repair or unplanned required maintenance that is affecting or will affect provision of the
Services. Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete any such emergency
repairs in a timely manner and to resume the provision of such Service as soon as practicable.
Section 10.5 Priority Supply. Refinery Company and Fertilizer Company shall each have
priority over third parties with respect to any Feedstocks and Services to be made available to
such Party (the “Receiving Party”) by the other Party (the “Supplying Party”) under this Agreement,
provided that, to the extent that purchase of any particular Feedstock or Service by a Receiving
Party is discretionary on the part of the Receiving Party and the Receiving Party has not purchased
from the Supplying Party the quantity of the Feedstock or Service that is presently available from
the Supplying Party, then the Supplying Party may offer and sell such available Feedstock or
Service to a third party so long as the Supplying Party first gives to the Receiving Party written
notice of such prospective offer and sale and the option to purchase such Feedstock or Service on
the terms provided in this Agreement with respect to such available Feedstock or Service, provided
that the Receiving Party exercises such option by written notice to the Supplying Party within five
(5) days following the date Supplying Party gives its written notice to Receiving Party with
respect to the available Feedstock or Service.
Section 10.6 Audit and Inspection Rights. Refinery Company and Fertilizer Company
shall each (“Requesting Party”) have the right, upon reasonable written notice to the other Party
(“Other Party”), to audit, examine and inspect, at reasonable times and locations, all
documentation, records, equipment, facilities, and other items owned or under the control of the
Other Party that are reasonably related to the Feedstocks and Services provided for under this
Agreement, solely for the purpose of confirming the measurement or pricing of, or tolerances or
18
specifications of, any Feedstocks or Services, confirming compliance and performance by the
Other Party, or exercising any rights of the Requesting Party, under this Agreement.

Company (“Requiring Company”) requires that any capital or other upgrades be made by the other
Party (“Upgrading Party”) to any of the Upgrading Party’s equipment or other facilities in
connection with the provision of any Feedstock or Services under this Agreement, the Upgrading
Party shall cooperate in implementing any such upgrades, provided that: (a) such upgrade does not
adversely affect in a material respect the Upgrading Party’s facilities or operations, and (b) the
Requiring Party pays (on terms and conditions acceptable to the Upgrading Party) any and all costs
of implementing such upgrade, and any increase in ongoing costs to the Upgrading Party (including
without limitation the costs of insurance, licenses, maintenance, permits, repairs, replacements,
and taxes).
Section 10.8 Successor Third Party Agreements. In the event that any of the BOC
Agreement, TKI Phase I Agreement, TKI Phase II Agreement, Gas Contract, or any other agreement with
or between any third parties that relates to any Feedstock or Services referred to in this
Agreement, terminates prior to the termination of this Agreement, the parties shall in good faith
cooperate to replace any such agreements with successor agreements with commercially similar terms,
in which case reference herein to the terminated third party agreement shall be deemed a reference
to the applicable successor agreement. In the event that such a successor agreement is not entered
into or is entered into on terms that are not commercially similar, then the parties will negotiate
in good faith to determine the terms and conditions, if any, that are commercially practicable for
the applicable Feedstock or Services to be furnished by one party to the other.

Second Party agrees to (i) immediately notify the First Party in writing of the existence, terms
and circumstances surrounding such a request or requirement, and (ii) assist the First Party in
seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy satisfactory to the First Party (at the
expense of the First Party). In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not
obtained (or the First Party waives compliance with the provisions hereof), (x) the Second Party
may disclose that portion of the First Party’s Confidential Information which it is legally
required to disclose, and (y) the Second Party shall exercise reasonable efforts to obtain
assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information to be
disclosed, and (z) the Second Party shall give written notice to First Party of the information to
be so disclosed as far in advance of its disclosure as practicable. In addition, a Second Party

or condition contained in this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant
or condition or of any subsequent breach of the same or of any other term, covenant or condition

-Price
|
The price is dependent upon the natural gas price (symbolized by “NGP” in the formulae below) and “steam flow” in the formulae below is determined by the Fertilizer Plant’s process control computer: | |
To Fertilizer Company:
|
Price = (1.22)(NGP)(steam flow)/1000 | |
To Refinery Company:
|
Price = (1.10)(NGP)(steam flow)/1000 |
For purposes of determining the price of High Pressure Steam hereunder,
NGP means the price for natural gas measured in dollars per MMBtu
($/MMBtu) determined for a particular calendar month as follows: The
price per MMBtu (dry) of natural gas shall be the index posting
published in “Inside F.E.R.C.’s Gas Market Report,” (the “Report”) under
the heading “Prices of Spot Gas delivered to Pipelines,” for the
applicable calendar month, for Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc.
(formerly known as Xxxxxxxx Gas Pipelines Central, Inc.) for Texas,
Oklahoma, Kansas (the “Southern Star Index Price”). In the event the
Report ceases to be published or, for a particular month, the Report
does not list the Southern Star Index Price, the Parties agree that the
applicable NGP shall be the price published in the monthly edition of
“Gas Daily Price Guide,” in the table labeled “Monthly Contract Index”
under Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc. (Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas)
(“Gas Daily Index Price”) for the applicable calendar month. In the
event Gas Daily ceases to publish the Gas Daily Index Price, the
applicable NGP shall be the monthly bidweek price published in the first
issue of “Natural Gas Week,” in the table labeled “Gas Price Report,”
under the heading “Delivered to Pipeline,” for the applicable calendar
month for Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc. The NGP shall also
include the price of pipeline transportation of natural gas to the
Refinery. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein,
Refinery Company shall have no obligation to pay for High Pressure Steam
during periods when Refinery Company is flaring fuel gas.
