| 1 / 12 |
2. 2006年10月枣庄公司和山东海化煤业化工有限公司（“海化”）签署了为期20年的《合成气购售合同》，并于2009年4月10日达成《补充协议》；根据以上合同，海化有义务向枣庄公司支付自商业运营日（2009年）起二十（20）年的容量费；
A 20-year term “Syngas Sales & Purchase Agreement” was signed by ZZ JV and Shandong Hai Hua Coal & Chemical Company, Ltd.（“Haihua”） in October 2006, and later On 10 April 2009 the two parties signed the Supplementary Agreement; according to such agreements, Haihua should pay capacity charges for twenty (20) years starting the date of commercial operation;
3. 因为海化未能按合成气购售合同的约定支付容量费，海化被薛城能源收购后，枣庄公司和薛城能源同意将《合成气购售合同》更替为2013年7月24日签订的甲醇《合作合同》，以解决《合成气购售合同》下的容量费问题，《合作合同》赋予枣庄公司相应的权利来运行和管理山东薛焦化工有限公司（“甲醇厂”，为薛城能源的全资子公司），为期十年，并向薛城能源购买焦炉气用以生产甲醇；
Due to Hai Hua’s inability to pay capacity charges as required by the Syngas Sales & Purchase Agreement and after the acquisition of Haihua by Xuecheng Energy, the ZZ JV and Xuecheng Energy mutually agreed to replace by way of novation the “Syngas Sales & Purchase Agreement” in July 2013 with the Methanol Cooperation Agreement which gave the ZZ JV rights to operate and manage Shandong Xuejiao Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (“Methanol Plant”, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xuecheng Energy) for 10 years and to purchase coke oven gas (COG) from Xuecheng Energy for methanol production；
4. 应政府对化工企业“进城退园”政策的要求，2015年10月薛城能源决定关闭其在原址的焦炉装置，将公司搬迁到邹坞工业园并在新址建设了新的焦炉生产装置。因为枣庄公司无法获得焦炉气用以生产甲醇，双方同意根据本协议的条款与条件终止2013年7月24日签署的甲醇《合作合同》，此外本协议将取代之前双方签署的所有协议，但合作经营合同（【2006年7月6日】签署，包括任何修订）及公司章程（【2006年7月27日】签署，包括任何修订）除外；
To follow up the government policy of “Leave City and Move into the Industrial Zone”, in October 2015 Xuecheng Energy made the determination to close its coke ovens operations at the facility and relocate Xuecheng Energy into the Zouwu Industrial Xxxx and built a new coke oven operation at this new location. Because of this there was no longer COG available to the ZZ JV for the production of methanol and the Parties have mutually agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to terminate the Methanol Cooperation Agreement dated July 24, 2013; and this Agreement replaces all previous agreements between the Parties other than the Joint Venture Contract (“JVC”) dated [insert date], as amended (if applicable) and Articles of Association (“AA”) dated [insert date], as amended (if applicable).
5. 薛城能源在薛城区邹坞镇的循环经济百亿工业园目前已初具规模，已建成投产260万吨干熄焦项目、70000标方/小时焦炉煤气制LNG项目、50万吨/年煤焦油加工项目；并拟投资建设20万吨/年煤焦油馏分轻质化项目，该项目需配套建设40000标方/小时合成气项目；
At present Xuecheng Energy has made some progress in the new industrial zone in Zouwu, Xuecheng District, 2.6kta dry quenching project, 70,000NM3/hour coke oven gas to LNG project, 500kta coal tar processing project; potential projects under schedule include 200kta tar light fraction project, which requires syngas 40,000Nm3/hour;
| 2 / 12 |
6. 就枣庄公司应付薛城能源的焦炉气款人民币32,179,185.61元（“焦炉气应付款”），双方进行了积极的交流与沟通，愿意通过股权变更的方式来使薛城能源获得此协议中所描述的枣庄公司的目标股权，以抵消焦炉气应付款。此外薛城能源愿意进一步投资枣庄公司，在邹坞工业园区投资迁建或新建合成气装置（以下简称“新项目”）。
Regarding the COG payables of ZZ JV to Xuecheng Energy, RMB 32,179,185.61 (“COG payables”), the Parties made active communication and mutually agree to restructure ZZ JV by changing the shareholding ownership such that Xuecheng Energy will own the majority of the ZZ JV as described in this Agreement to offset the COG payable, and the Xuecheng Energy intends to further invest in ZZ JV as described in this agreement, to move/re-build or construct new syngas generation facilities to serve Zouwu Industrial Xxxx (“New Project”).
