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.
15
(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 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 Indemnitors 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.

16
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.

(normal) | As available, 50,000 + 20,000 pounds per hour (to Refinery Company) | |
-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 Plants 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 of natural gas measured at a per mmbtu rate based on the price for natural gas actually paid by Refinery Company for the month preceding the sale. 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.
- Flow measurement | All High Pressure Steam flows shall be measured by a standard sharp edge orifice plate and differential pressure |

Tail Gas | ||
- Gaseous | ||
- Flow measurement | All Tail Gas flows will be measured by a standard sharp edge orifice plate or annubar and differential pressure transmitter located at the Fertilizer Plant. The measured flow shall be pressure and temperature compensated and totalized by the Fertilizer Plants Honeywell process control computer (TDC 3000) or any replacement computer. All transmitter signals and computer calculations are available to the Refinery through the existing communications bus for verification. Calibration of the transmitter shall be done at least annually and may be done more frequently at Refinery Companys request. | |
- LHV / HHV | LHV means the lower heating value, and HHV means the higher heating value. | |
- Tail Gas Price | VOLTG x LHVTG x PRICENG x (HHVNG / LHVNG) | |
For purposes of the foregoing formula: | ||
VOLTG = the volume of the Tail Gas stream in scf for the month | ||
LHVTG = the average LHV of the weekly samples of the Tail Gas stream analyzed for the previous month; the Refinery Company and the Fertilizer Plant will mutually agree on the Btu Content for the first month of operation following the Commencement Date | ||
PRICENG = the price of natural gas measured at a per mmbtu |
B-4
rate (and at the HHV) based on the price for natural gas actually paid by Refinery Company for the month preceding the sale | ||
HHVNG = the HHV of natural gas or 1012 Btu/scf | ||
LHVNG = the LHV of natural gas or 911 Btu/scf | ||
- Capital Cost | The Capital Cost is the aggregate capital expenditures incurred by Refinery Company to procure, construct and install the piping, pipe supports, control valve station, flow meter and associated instrumentation needed to connect the PSA at the Fertilizer Plant to the #1 Boiler at the Refinery, for purposes of the delivery of Tail Gas. | |
- Capital Recovery Fee | The Capital Recovery Fee is the monthly amount needed for Refinery Company to recover the Capital Cost using straight-line depreciation over a three-year period at an interest rate of 12% per annum. | |
- Return Fee | The monthly amount needed to net to the Refinery Company a 15% per annum return on their investment of the Capital Cost. | |
- Commencement Date | The Commencement Date will be the date upon which the delivery of Tail Gas to the Refinery begins. | |
- Net Price | Upon the Commencement Date, the net price for the Tail Gas for the first three years will be computed by taking the Tail Gas Price minus the Capital Recovery Fee. Following the initial three-year period and continuing for one year thereafter, the net price for the Tail Gas will be computed by taking the Tail Gas Price minus the Return Fee. Following the initial four-year period, the net price for Tail Gas will be the Tail Gas Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Refinery Company shall have no obligation to pay for Tail Gas during periods when Refinery Company is flaring fuel gas. | |
Refinery Company will pay Fertilizer Company on a monthly basis for all Tail Gas purchased. | ||
