2. SUPPLY OF PRODUCTS
-- ------------------
(a) Requirements. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, OSCA shall
purchase and accept from Great Lakes and Great Lakes shall sell and deliver to
OSCA, at least eighty percent (80%) and, at OSCA's option, up to one hundred
percent (100%) of OSCA's Annual Requirements of Products during the Term;
provided, however, that the maximum quantity of Products that Great Lakes shall
be obligated to supply in the first Contract Year shall be the lesser of: (i)
one hundred percent (100%) of OSCA's actual requirements for Products for such
first Contract Year; and (ii) the difference between [THIS PORTION OF THE SUPPLY
AGREEMENT IS CONFIDENTIAL AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION] contained bromine in the Products and the volume of
contained bromine in the quantities of Products purchased by OSCA from Great
Lakes during the period from January 1, 2000 up to the Effective Date. For each
subsequent Contract Year, the maximum quantity of Products that Great Lakes
shall be obligated to supply will be recalculated and shall be the volume of
contained bromine in the average quantity of Products purchased by OSCA from
Great Lakes during the immediately preceding three (3) years. For purposes of
the preceding sentence, OSCA's actual purchases shall be deemed to include any
quantities of Products which were supplied to OSCA by any third party due to:
(y) Great Lakes' failure or inability to to supply the Confirmed Annual Quantity
as a result of force majeure or otherwise; or (z) the purchase and sale under
this Agreement of less than 80% of OSCA's Annual Requirements pursuant to
Section 3.4 or as a result of mutual agreement of the Parties. Such maximum
quantity, calculated in any Contract Year, shall be the "Confirmed Annual
Quantity". In each Contract Year, OSCA shall purchase a quantity of Products at
least equal to fifty percent (50%) of the
Page 3
Confirmed Annual Quantity for such Contract Year, subject to Section 3.4. OSCA
understands and agrees that such agreement to purchase at least fifty percent
(50%) of the Confirmed Annual Quantity for each Contract Year shall be deemed a
take or pay obligation, and in the event OSCA fails to purchase fifty percent
(50%) of the Confirmed Annual Quantity for any Contract Year, within thirty (30)
days after the end of such Contract Year, at the election of Great Lakes, OSCA
shall accept delivery of the difference or pay to Great Lakes the purchase price
for any quantities of Products not taken.
(b) Annual Forecasts. On or before each September 30 occurring during the
Term, OSCA shall furnish Great Lakes with its good faith written estimate of
OSCA's Annual Requirements by Product for the next Contract Year (the "Annual
Forecast"). OSCA may change the product mix of the Products from the previous
Contract Year, provided such change shall not affect the Confirmed Annual
Quantity for such Contract Year. Great Lakes shall use reasonable efforts to
supply the product mix requested by OSCA in its Annual Forecast and shall notify
OSCA within thirty (30) days if it is unable to do so. OSCA shall provide the
Annual Forecasts for planning purposes only and such forecasts shall not be a
binding commitment to purchase.
(c) Quarterly Supply. OSCA shall place firm orders for Products
specifying the requested date of shipment. Great Lakes will use all reasonable
efforts to accommodate OSCA's shipping and scheduling requirements within the
constraints of Great Lakes' production and storage capabilities. OSCA agrees to
take and Great Lakes agrees to ship the Confirmed Annual Quantity in
substantially equal quarterly quantities; provided, however, that Great Lakes
shall not be obligated to supply more than one hundred twenty-five percent
(125%) of such equal quarterly amount within any calendar quarter. Twenty-five
(25%) percent of the Confirmed Annual Quantity is hereafter referred to as the
"Confirmed Quarterly Quantity."
(d) Additional Quantities. If OSCA desires to purchase from Great Lakes
more than the Confirmed Annual Quantity in any Contract Year or more than one
hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Confirmed Quarterly Quantity in any
calendar quarter, OSCA will first offer to Great Lakes the opportunity to supply
such additional quantities on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement. Within fifteen days (15) of receipt of notice from OSCA of its desire
to purchase additional quantities, Great Lakes will give written notice of its
decision whether to
Page 4
supply such additional quantities on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, and if Great Lakes does not agree to supply such additional
quantities or fails to give any such notice, OSCA shall have the right to
purchase such additional quantities from any third party.
(e) Inventory. Great Lakes agrees to use reasonable efforts to maintain
for OSCA mini mum inventory levels of one million five hundred thousand
(1,500,000) pounds of 14.2 CaBr2 and six hundred thousand (600,000) pounds of
19.2 ZnCaBr2, but it is understood that Great Lakes will have no liability to
OSCA for any failure to maintain such inventory. In the event the foregoing
inventory levels are insufficient to support OSCA's business, the Parties agree
to negotiate in good faith with respect to other storage and/or inventory
options.
3. PRICE
-- -----
(a) Price. The price for the Products and the periodic price adjustments
shall be as set forth in Exhibit "B".
(b) Audits. OSCA shall have the right to appoint, at OSCA's expense, an
independent firm of certified public accountants reasonably acceptable to Great
Lakes, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of the purchase price for
Products as determined under this Article 3. Upon thirty (30) days' prior
written notice to Great Lakes and upon the accountants' execution of a
reasonable confidentiality agreement, such certified public accounting firm
shall be given access to Great Lakes' books, records and accounts, and such
other information and personnel as they may reasonably require for the sole
purpose of verifying the accuracy of the purchase price under this Article 3.
Such audits shall not occur more than once each Contract Year. OSCA's right to
audit shall survive for a period of six (6) months following any expiration or
termination of this Agreement. The decision of the auditor shall be binding on
the Parties. Should the purchase price charged by Great Lakes to OSCA be
determined by the auditors to be in error, unfavourable to OSCA, then (i) Great
Lakes shall bear the costs of the audits; and (ii) Great Lakes shall pay to OSCA
the sums determined by the auditor to be due and owing. Any sums due and owing
to OSCA shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the determination by the
auditor.
(c) Payment of Invoices. For Products delivered to OSCA under this
Agreement, OSCA shall pay Great Lakes within forty-five calendar days (45) from
the date of the invoice relating thereto.
Page 5
(d) Meet or Release. If, with respect to a portion of its Annual
Requirements for Products for any Contract Year following Contract Year 2, OSCA
receives a bona fide written offer for the same or similar Products on the same
or similar terms and conditions for a net price lower than the price under this
Agreement on a non-spot basis and for a duration of at least twelve (12) months,
OSCA may give written evidence to Great Lakes of such offer, and within fifteen
(15) days of receipt of such written evidence, Great Lakes, at its option, shall
agree to either match the competitive offer or release OSCA from its obligation
to purchase a maximum portion of its Annual Requirements for such Contract Year
as set forth below:
(a) Contract Year 3 - 40%
(b) Contract Year 4 - 60%
(c) Contract Year 5 and thereafter - 100%.

prior to any such disclosure, such employees shall be advised of the obligations
herein contained and shall have undertaken obligations of confidentiality and
non-use with respect to such Proprietary Information no less stringent that
those set forth in this Article 8.

PRICE AND PRICE ADJUSTMENT
--------------------------
(a) Price. The price for the Products shall be Great Lakes' actual fully
allocated costs, including depreciation, of producing such Products at its
existing South Arkansas facilities, plus [THIS PORTION OF THE SUPPLY AGREEMENT

COMMISSION]. The price invoiced to OSCA for each shipment of Products hereunder
shall be Great Lakes' standard product cost, as of the beginning of the
applicable calendar year, for each Product produced at the existing South
Arkansas facilities, plus [THIS PORTION OF THE SUPPLY AGREEMENT IS CONFIDENTIAL
AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION]. The
prices shall be subject to adjustment as provided in paragraph (b) of this
Exhibit "B". No later than November 30 in each year, Great Lakes will give OSCA
written notice of the standard product cost for each Product applicable to the
next year.
(b) Quarterly Adjustments. On a quarterly basis, the invoiced price for the
Products shipped during any calendar quarter shall be adjusted retroactively up
or down to reflect Great Lakes' actual fully allocated costs, including
depreciation, for such Products produced at Great Lakes' existing South Arkansas
facilities. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter,
Great Lakes will give written notice of such adjustment to OSCA. Within thirty
(30) days of the date of such written notice, if the actual costs are higher
than the invoiced amount, OSCA shall pay such difference to Great Lakes; or, if
the actual costs are lower than the invoiced amount which was actually paid by
OSCA, Great Lakes shall refund the difference to OSCA. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Great Lakes shall not be obligated to pass on to OSCA cost savings
which may result from synergies in connection with a change in the structure,
ownership, or business combination of Great Lakes' existing South Arkansas brine
or bromine operations, or new technologies for the mining or manufacture of
bromine or the manufacture of bromine products, which may be developed or
acquired by Great Lakes.
(c) Definition of Costs. For purposes of paragraphs (a) and (b) above,
"fully allocated costs" shall mean the actual costs of raw materials used in the
manufacture of the Products and allocated costs of labor, manufacturing
conversion and utilities applicable to the production lines, as listed below,
utilized by Great Lakes at its existing South Arkansas facility for production
of the Products. The quarterly adjustments referred to in paragraph (b) of this
Exhibit "B" shall consist of the favorable and unfavorable production line
variances of the production lines listed below. The costs and the variances
shall be allocated to such production lines in accordance with Great Lakes'
current methodology, and any future changes in the methodology shall be made in
good faith by Great Lakes and shall be communicated in advance to OSCA. The
production lines referred to above are as follows:
(i) ELD11040 Zinc Ca Filtration;
