[BP Letterhead]
September 8, 2003
PCS Nitrogen Ohio, L.P.
Dear Don:
This letter amends the Manufacturing Support Agreement (Support Agreement) and the Operating Agreement (Operating Agreement) both between BP Chemicals Inc. (BP) and PCS Nitrogen Ohio, L.P., formerly Arcadian Ohio, L.P., (PCS), dated May 11, 1993 and each as previously amended. BP understands that both parties desire to modify the cost of Steam set forth in those Agreements, including the Boiler Feed Water component of the cost of Steam. Consequently, BP proposes that the two Agreements be modified, retroactive back to January 1, 2003, as follows:
1. | In the Support Agreement, the Steam portion of Exhibit D will be deleted in its entirety and replaced with Exhibit D, 2003 Steam Calculation attached hereto. |
2. | In the Operating Agreement, the handwritten page setting forth the calculation for Steam in Exhibit H will be deleted in its entirety and replaced with Exhibit D, 2003 Steam attached hereto. |
3. | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Support Agreement, the Operating Agreement, or this Amendment, the parties agree that PCS will take as much of its requirements of 650 PSIG Steam from BP as PCS can consume at its Lima Nitrogen plant unless PCSs cost of generating its own steam is less than the cost of Steam that BP provides to PCS pursuant to the Agreements. The parties acknowledge that, with the current Steam pipeline, BP can deliver up to approximately 80,000 pounds/hour of 650 PSIG superheated Steam to PCS. If, pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph, PCS generates its own steam rather than use the absorber offgas incinerator supplied (AOGI) Steam, PCS will (a) provide BP with boiler feed water for the portion of the AOGI Steam that PCS did not use because it generated its own steam free of charge to BP (and it will not be included when calculating the Steam cost in accordance with Exhibit D, 2003 Steam); and (b) provide BP with boiler feed water for the rest of the AOGI Steam and such will be included when calculating the Steam cost in accordance with Exhibit D, 2003 Steam. |
4. | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Support Agreement, the Operating Agreement, or this Amendment, the parties intent is to work together, in good faith, to try to optimize the Steam usage across BPs and PCSs plants at the Lima site, realizing that PCS, pursuant to the Support Agreement, has the first right to take the Steam produced and that BP may choose to use the Steam internally for its benefit. Therefore, the parties agree that if, during any given period, BP elects not to provide some portion of the produced Steam to PCS, for any reason, BP can require PCS to continue to supply Boiler Feed Water to BP during such period, up to the boiler feed water production capability of PCS. If such occurs, BP must pay PCS for such Boiler Feed Water during that period pursuant to the cost calculations for Boiler Feed Water that are a part of Exhibit D, 2003 Steam attached hereto. |

All other terms and conditions of the Support Agreement and the Operating Agreement would remain the same.
If you are in agreement, please have an authorized representative sign below and return one fully executed original to BP.

Formulas
Cost to Make AOGI Steam (based on Nat Gas Fuel Value):
SH Stm Natural Gas Cost = [Natural Gas Cost $/MMBtu] x [BTU rqmt for AOGI steam from above = B17] x [1000 lb/Mlb] / [1000000 Btu/MMBtu]
BFW from PCS Cost = [PCS BFW Cost $/Mgal] x [12% blowdown adjustment = 1.12] / [Density of water = 8.34 lb/gal]
Cost to Make Reactor Steam (based on Nat Gas Fuel Value):
Sat Stm Natural Gas Cost = [Natural Gas Cost $/MMBtu] x [BTU rqmt for Rxtr steam from above = B25] x [1000 lb/Mlb] / [1000000 Btu/MMBtu]
City Water to Zeolites Cost = [City Water Cost $/Mgal] x [15% softener regen blowdown adjustment = 1.15] / [Density of water = 8.34 lb/gal]
50# Stm to DA = [Refinery 50# Steam Cost $/Mlb] x [50# Steam Required to Dearate 1 lb of BFW used to Make Reactor Steam = 0.0385 lb]
Chemicals Cost = [Typical Yearly Cost of Chemicals to Treat BFW and Reactor Steam $] / [Typical Yearly Production of Reactor Steam Mlb]
Electricity Cost = [Electricity Cost $/kWH] x [Total Horsepower of the three pumps = 750 hp] / [Horsepower to Watt conversion = 0.00134 hp/W] x [1000 W/Kw] x [Average Reactor Steam Production = 281 Mlb/hr]

Iterative Calculation | 3-Apr-03 |
The D term is the calculated PCS BFW to BP Price determined through an Iterative Calculation to remove the spiraling effect of any increases or decreases to any variable used in both the Steam and BFW price calculations. An example of this calculation is set forth on this page. BFW Cost ($/Mgal) column will be the D term used in the calculation set forth on page 1 of this Exhibit
