The non-breaching party must include in the written notice the nature of the breach and demanding that the same be remedied. In addition, any party to this Agreement may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party, but only if such other party (a) becomes insolvent, (b) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (c) suffers or permits the appointment of a receiver for its business or assets, (d) becomes subject as the debtor to any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, whether domestic or foreign, or (e) commences liquidation or dissolution proceedings, voluntarily or otherwise.

2. Target Purchase Quantity; Minimum Purchase Requirement; Rolling Forecasts; Product Specification.

2.1. Target Purchase Quantity. During the Term of this Agreement, Buyer desires to secure from Seller a target aggregate quantity of Product of [***] metric tons (“MT”) per year (the “Target Purchase Quantity”) and Seller desires to supply Buyer the Target Purchase Quantity at the prices set forth in Exhibit A. Buyer shall use its best efforts to place binding purchase orders (“Purchase Orders”) each Calendar Quarter that in the aggregate equal the Target Purchase Quantity. Seller shall use its best efforts to accept such Purchase Orders. Buyer and Seller, however, shall only be obligated for the quantities as specified below in Sections 2.2 and 2.3.

2.2. Rolling Forecasts and Binding Orders. In order to permit Seller to regularly supply Buyer with its requirements of Product, Buyer shall on a quarterly basis submit to Seller a good faith estimate of the amount of the Product that Buyer will order from Seller for a twelve month period (each such estimate a “Rolling Forecast”). Buyer shall provide the Rolling Forecast on a quarterly basis, at least forty-five (45) days preceding each Calendar Quarter, with the first Rolling Forecast to be delivered at least forty-five (45) days prior to the commencement of the first Calendar Quarter during the Term. Buyer shall additionally provide Seller no later than thirty (30) days preceding each Calendar Quarter its binding purchase commitment for Product that Buyer identifies as needed from Seller in the next Calendar Quarter (each a “Binding Order”) and for each Binding Order, Buyer shall submit to Seller Purchase Orders, at a minimum, for a cumulative quantity of the Product stated in the Binding Order. In the absence of a Binding Order placed with Seller at thirty (30) days preceding the Calendar Quarter, the first three months quantity of Product included in the Rolling Forecast shall be deemed to be binding upon Buyer. Buyer’s forecasts for the Product for the remaining nine (9) months of each Rolling Forecast shall be estimates only and shall not be binding upon Buyer in any manner. Seller shall not have any binding commitment to supply amounts in excess of those amounts of Product provided in a Binding Order or an accepted Purchase Order. For purpose of this Agreement, “Calendar Quarter” shall mean January 1 to March 31, April 1 to June 30, July 1 to September 30, and October 1 to December 31.

2.3. Minimum Purchase Requirement. During the Term of this Agreement and beginning with the second Calendar Quarter of 2014, Buyer shall be required to purchase from Seller, during each Calendar Quarter no less than [***] MT of Product, (the “Minimum Purchase Requirement”). Buyer shall be required to purchase the Minimum Purchase Requirement at the prices set forth in Exhibit A, with any Purchase Shortfalls (as hereinafter defined) to be made up on a First-in, First-out basis using the pricing applicable at the Calendar Quarter in which the Purchase Shortfall was created, as provided in Section 2.4 below.

2.4. Purchase Shortfall. Notwithstanding Buyer’s actual current demand for Product, Buyer shall take delivery of and remit payment for all Product ordered pursuant to a Binding Order within the Calendar Quarter in which the Minimum Purchase Requirement is created, or Buyer shall be obligated to pay for the Purchase Shortfall as provided in this Section 2.4. At least thirty (30) days prior to the end of any Calendar Quarter, the parties shall determine whether Buyer has satisfied the Minimum Purchase Requirement for such Calendar Quarter. Subject to the provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement, if in a given Calendar Quarter Buyer

purchases less Product than provided in the applicable Binding Order, Buyer shall pay to Seller within thirty (30) days after being invoiced therefore, the difference between (a) the amount that would have been payable by Buyer during such Calendar Quarter if Buyer had purchased the amount specified in the Binding Order and (b) the amount payable by Buyer during such Calendar Quarter for the actual volume of Product purchased from Seller based on the applicable price listed in Exhibit A (“Purchase Shortfall”). However, Buyer shall in no event be obligated to pay for the Purchase Shortfall that Seller failed to deliver in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2 for any reason, unless such failure results from Buyer’s failure to deliver adequate Shipping Drums in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof. If Buyer fails, for any reason, to take delivery of or pay for any portion of the Purchase Shortfall, Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to sell such portion, in whole or in part, to any third party and Buyer shall be liable and make a payment (the “Make-Whole Payment”) to Seller in the event Seller was not able to sell the Product to a third party at a price equal to or greater than the price listed in Exhibit A. The Make-Whole Payment shall be equal to the amount that Seller would have received if Buyer had purchased and paid for such portion of the Purchase Shortfall exceeds the price actually received by Seller, and net of selling costs, from a third party purchaser of such portion. If the foregoing sum is not positive, Buyer shall have no liability for its failure to take delivery of or pay for such portion of the Purchase Shortfall that has been sold to a third party. In the event that Seller is not able to sell or is requested by Buyer not to sell any portion of the Purchase Shortfall to a third party, Seller shall charge Buyer an inventory fee for the cost of storing such Purchase Shortfall and any related Shipping Drums at Seller’s facilities.

2.5. Supply Shortfall. Subject to the provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement, if Seller cannot supply, or reasonably anticipates that it will not be able to supply, the quantities of the Product set forth in a Purchase Order for any reason (a “Supply Shortfall”), Seller shall:

a) promptly provide a written notice to Buyer stating in reasonable detail the proposed remedial measures, the date such inability is expected to end and the amount of Product then available for delivery; and

b) take commercially reasonable efforts to procure the Product from a third party supplier on the market and then resell the Product to Buyer according to the terms provided herein until all of Buyer’s ordered quantities have been delivered or shall take commercially reasonable efforts to expedite delivery of the Product at Seller’s expense, including the use of air freight where delivery is otherwise greater than ten (10) business delays beyond the terms set forth in the applicable Purchase Order.

2.6. Shipping Drum Bottleneck. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.5, Buyer acknowledges that Seller’s ability to supply the Product to Buyer at its location is dependent upon timely delivery of Shipping Drums to Seller in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof. Seller shall have no liability to Buyer for late or incomplete shipments under any Purchase Order due to Buyer’s failure to timely make available, deliver, or cause to deliver, an adequate quantity of Shipping Drums to enable Seller to fulfill such Purchase Order and any such late or incomplete shipments shall not constitute a Supply Shortfall hereunder. In the event

 

4


that Buyer fails to make available, deliver or cause to deliver the Shipping Drums to Seller in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and Seller cannot make delivery of the Product under the terms of any Purchase Order, Buyer shall pay to Seller an inventory fee for the cost of storing such Product at Seller’s facilities until such time as the Shipping Drums are returned to Seller.

2.7. Product Specification. The Products to be supplied under this Agreement shall meet the quality requirements and specifications as agreed to by the Parties as set forth in Exhibit B (the “Product Specifications”) to this Agreement. Seller shall maintain, in accordance with Seller’s standard procedures, accurate records and data for any quality testing done by or for Seller of any Products purchased by Buyer hereunder and shall make such records and test data available to Buyer upon reasonable request.

3. Price; Payment Terms; Delivery.

3.1. Price. The price per kilogram (“kg”) for Products delivered hereunder shall be as set forth on Exhibit A. The prices shall be firm until December 31, 2020, however, such prices are subject to adjustment at the sole discretion of Seller only after providing two years’ written notice to Buyer of the adjusted prices.

3.2. Payment Terms. Seller shall issue an invoice denominated in US Dollars to Buyer for each shipment of Product. Payment for each invoice shall be due net within thirty (30) days from the date of such invoices. Payment of invoices by Buyer shall be by wire transfer, ACH, check or by other means as mutually agreed on by the parties.

3.3. Delivery and Title Transfer. All Product is sold FCA Shipping Point (Incoterms 2010) as specified by Seller. All Product will be packaged and shipped in Seller’s Shipping Drums, which Buyer shall make available, deliver or cause to deliver to Seller’s manufacturing facility in Pasadena, Texas at Seller’s expense at least 30 days prior to the delivery date specified in any Purchase Order. Buyer will arrange for and pay all freight, insurance and shipping costs associated with the delivery of the Product and the Shipping Drums to Buyer. Seller will arrange for and pay all ocean freight, insurance and shipping costs associated with the return delivery of the Shipping Drums to Seller from Buyer’s facilities. If return delivery of the Shipping Drums is required to be expedited, such as through the use of air freight, from a facility controlled by Buyer to Seller’s manufacturing facility at no fault of Seller, Buyer shall arrange for all shipping costs incremental to those otherwise borne by Seller.

3.4. Set-off. Only uncontested or legally proved claims shall entitle Buyer to set-off or withhold payment to Seller in the respective amount proven.

4. Orders and Deliveries.

4.1. Purchase Orders. All orders by Buyer for Product hereunder shall be made by means of a written or electronic purchase order. Any specific instructions for shipment will be conveyed via the purchase order. All such purchase orders shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, as supplemented by the confirmed quantities. Buyer’s purchase order will be deemed to be accepted by Seller unless written notification and justification to the contrary is received by Buyer within twenty-four (24) hours of Seller’s receipt

 

5


of the purchase order. Unless expressly agreed in writing by Seller and Buyer, no additional or different terms or conditions contained in any quotation, sales order, acknowledgement form, purchase order or other communication from Seller or Buyer shall be binding upon Seller or Buyer, and each party objects to any such additional or different terms or conditions. No accepted purchase order may be cancelled or altered except upon terms and conditions acceptable to both Seller and Buyer, as evidenced by its written consent. Invoices shall reference the applicable purchase order and shall be submitted for payment by Seller to the Buyer accounts payable address specified in writing from time to time by Buyer. To the extent there is any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of any purchase order, the terms of this Agreement shall apply.

5. Warranty of Seller; Disclaimer of Other Warranties; Buyer’s Exclusive Remedy.

5.1. Specifications. Seller warrants that the Products sold under this Agreement shall conform to the specifications established in writing by Seller and agreed to in writing by Buyer from time to time for such Products.

5.2. Disclaimer. THE WARRANTY SET FORTH HEREIN IS IN LIEU OF ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS WERE MADE TO IT OR RELIED ON BY BUYER WITH RESPECT TO THE QUALITY AND FUNCTION OF THE PRODUCT HEREIN SOLD. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, SELLER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY THAT ANY PRODUCT SHALL CONFORM TO ANY SPECIFICATION OR STANDARD OF PERFORMANCE COMMUNICATED TO BUYER’S CUSTOMERS, SUBCONTRACTORS, SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES.

5.4. Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES ARISING UNDER CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY. Such disclaimed damages include but are not limited to loss of profits, damage to property, or claims of third parties.
