ARTICLE 2
SUPPLY COMMITMENT AND QUANTITY
2.1 Net Gas Requirement. The total quantity of net Natural
Gas required to be supplied and delivered out of proved recoverable reserves of
Natural Gas in East Kalimantan for liquefaction and sale as Extension
Quantities is estimated to be 4.5403 trillion standard cubic feet ("t.s.c.f.").

Requirement". The 1973 Extension Net Gas Requirement is based on the Fixed
Quantities which Buyers have agreed to purchase under the 1973 Extension MOA.

2.2 VICO Contract Gas. PERTAMINA and Contractors hereby
commit and agree to supply and deliver from proved economically recoverable
reserves of Natural Gas in specific fields within the VICO Contract Area
sufficient Natural Gas (and LNG resulting from the liquefaction thereof) to
meet a portion of the 1973 Extension Net Gas Requirement over the term of this
Supply Agreement consisting of 0.9805 t.s.c.f., or 21.5956% thereof. Such
quantities of net Natural Gas committed to be supplied pursuant to this Supply
Agreement are herein referred to as the "VICO Contract Gas", and the
above-stated percentage is herein referred to as the "Producers' Percentage".
The specific fields from which the VICO Contract Gas will be committed are
identified in the supplemental memorandum entered into among PERTAMINA,
Contractors and the production sharing contractors in the Other Contract Areas
pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding Re: Supply Agreements and Package
V Sales dated October 5, 1994 (the "Package V Supplemental Memorandum"). The
VICO participating fields and the quantities in each field comprising the VICO
Contract Gas are as follows:
Participating Fields Quantity of Gas (t.s.c.f.)

The quantities committed from each field are subject to revision from time to
time, as the reserves from the fields may be updated and as additional data,
from deliverability studies and otherwise, become available.
2.3 Other Contract Gas. To meet the balance of the 1973
Extension Net Gas Requirement, constituting 3.5598 t.s.c.f., or 78.4044%
thereof, sufficient Natural Gas (and LNG resulting from the liquefaction
thereof) will be committed for supply and delivery by PERTAMINA and its
production sharing contractors from proved recoverable reserves of Natural Gas
in the Other Contract Areas by separate supply agreements, similar hereto and
compatible herewith, executed and delivered concurrently herewith (such amounts
are herein collectively referred to as the "Other Contract Gas"). The specific
fields from which the Other Contract Gas will be committed are also identified
in the Package V Supplemental Memorandum.
2.4 XxXxxxxx and XxxXxxxxxxx Certification. The amounts of
net Natural Gas constituting the VICO Contract Gas and the Other Contract Gas
are part of the estimates of proved recoverable reserves of Natural Gas as
certified by the independent consultant firm of XxXxxxxx and XxxXxxxxxxx in
written statements based on data available on May 31, 1994.
The quantities for the VICO Contract Gas and the Other Contract Gas
set forth in Sections 2.2 and 2.3 hereof and the Producers' Percentage were

2.5 Reduction to Net Gas Requirement. Notwithstanding the
above, if, pursuant to paragraph 4 of the 1973 Extension MOA, the Extension
Quantities are reduced as a result of Financing not being arranged, PERTAMINA
and Contractors agree to amend this Supply Agreement to decrease the VICO
Contract Gas, such decrease to be based on the proportion of the VICO Contract
Gas to the 1973 Extension Net Gas Requirement. By separate amendments, similar
to and compatible with that entered into by PERTAMINA and Contractors, executed
and delivered concurrently therewith, the balance of any such decrease in the
1973 Extension Net Gas Requirement will be allocated to the Other Contract Gas
based on the proportion of the Other Contract Gas to the 1973 Extension Net Gas
Requirement.
ARTICLE 3
COORDINATION OF GAS SUPPLY
The VICO Contract Gas and the Other Contract Gas may be produced from
participating fields at times and production rates which may change from time
to time during the term hereof so as to secure the optimal ultimate recovery of
Natural Gas. The supply of Natural Gas from the VICO Contract Area and the
Other Contract Areas will be coordinated by PERTAMINA so as to conserve and
permit full utilization of such Natural Gas. The sources of supply, producing
rates, quality of gas, metering and related matters shall be matters for study
by the East Kalimantan Gas Reserves Management Committee, consisting of
representatives from PERTAMINA, VICO, TOTAL Indonesie and UNOCAL Indonesia

(a) The right of Contractors to the payments provided for in this

VICO Contract Area or from participating field(s) within any of the Other
Contract Areas of the aggregate amount of Natural Gas committed therefrom
pursuant to this Supply Agreement or to any of the supply agreements referred
to in Section 2.3 hereof over the term thereof, then such insufficiency shall
be delivered from field(s), including but not limited to the participating
field(s) within the area(s) not then experiencing an insufficiency of
deliverable reserves, and the Producers' Percentage shall thereupon be adjusted
(together with a corresponding adjustment to the VICO Contract Gas) to reflect

under the 1973 Sales Contract which will be supplied and delivered from the
VICO Contract Area over the term hereof, such adjustment in the Producers'
Percentage to apply only to payments provided for in this Article 5 received
