PRODUCT SUPPLY AGREEMENT

THIS PRODUCT SUPPLY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of September 20, 2004 (the “Effective Date”), between BOC Americas (PGS), Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BOC”) and Sunoco, Inc. (R&M), a Pennsylvania corporation (“Sunoco”).

BACKGROUND:

A. Sunoco owns and operates a refinery located in Toledo, Ohio (the “Sunoco Refinery”), that uses steam and hydrogen in connection with various processes conducted at the Sunoco Refinery.

B. BOC intends to construct, own and operate, on a parcel of land located on the perimeter of the Sunoco Refinery, a steam methane reformer plant and purification units to produce Hydrogen and Steam (the “BOC Facility”). The construction of the BOC Facility shall be pursuant to and in accordance with a Construction Agreement (the “Construction Agreement”) and Ground Lease Agreement (the “Lease Agreement”), each between BOC and Sunoco and each dated of even date herewith. Pursuant to the Construction Agreement and Lease Agreement, Sunoco has agreed to lease certain land on the perimeter of the Sunoco Refinery to BOC for the construction and operation of the BOC Facility, and grant an easement in land for use in connection with the BOC Facility, and BOC shall construct the BOC Facility on the leased land.

C. After the construction of the BOC Facility, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (i) Sunoco shall provide, and BOC shall utilize, Feedstock and Utilities at such times and in such volumes as provided in this Agreement and (ii) BOC shall sell and deliver, and Sunoco shall purchase and accept, Hydrogen and Steam generated by the BOC Facility at such times and in such volumes as provided in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements and covenants hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS; INTERPRETATION

A reference to any document or agreement shall include such document or agreement as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms. A reference to any law, rule, regulation or statute includes any amendment or modification thereto. The words “herein” “hereof,” “hereunder,” “hereto,” and words of like import shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not any particular article, section or subdivision of this Agreement. A reference to an Article, Section, Appendix, Exhibit or Schedule is a reference to the Article, Section, Appendix, Exhibit or Schedule of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. In this Agreement, the singular includes the plural and the plural includes the singular, and the words “including,” “include” and “includes” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

ARTICLE 2

TERM

Section 2.1 Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall be effective on the Effective Date and shall continue in effect for an initial term ending on the last day of the third (3^rd) month following the fifteenth (15^th) anniversary of the Commercial Operations Date (the “Initial Term”).

Section 2.2 Renewal Option. The Parties shall have the option to extend the Initial Term for a Term Extension Period, provided that the Parties have mutually agreed to negotiate to extend the Initial Term [****] months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term. If the Parties do not mutually agree to negotiate to extend the Initial Term [****] months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement automatically shall terminate upon the expiration of the Initial Term. If, within such period, the Parties agree to negotiate to extend the Initial Term, then, during the first [****] months of such [****]-month period, which [****] months may be extended by mutual agreement of the Parties (such [****] period including any extension thereof, the “Extension Negotiation Period”), the Parties shall agree on the term of the Term Extension Period and the specific terms and conditions to be applicable during that Term Extension Period. The protocol for establishing certain terms applicable to such Term Extension Period including, but not limited to, any additional repairs or improvements to be made to the BOC Facility, shall be as set forth in Schedule 2.2. If the Parties have not agreed to a Term Extension Period and the terms and conditions applicable thereto within the Extension Negotiation Period, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the expiration of the Initial Term.

Section 2.3 Delay in Commercial Operations Date.

2.3.1. Delay in Commercial Operations. Hydrogen shall be available for supply to Sunoco from the BOC Facility at substantially the quantities and specifications set forth in this Agreement on February 1, 2006, as such date may be extended by any Force Majeure Event and delays caused by Sunoco’s failure to (a) prepare and deliver the site of the BOC Facility Premises by the site preparation dates set forth on Schedule 2.3 and in the manner set forth in the Construction Agreement and Lease Agreement and/or (b) Sunoco’s failure to deliver the Feedstock and Utilities at the times and in the quantities and meeting the specifications set forth in this Agreement and/or (c) accept Steam and/or Hydrogen at the times and in the amount set forth in this Agreement (such date, as extended hereunder, the “Commercial Operations Date”); provided that, in no event can the Commercial Operations Date start on any day during Phase V.

2.3.2. Capital Investment in the Sunoco Hydrogen Plant.

(a) On January 2, 2006, BOC shall provide Sunoco with written notice as to whether BOC will commence the supply of Hydrogen to Sunoco at substantially the quantities and specifications set forth in this Agreement commencing on April 1, 2006. If BOC fails to deliver such notice to Sunoco by January 7, 2006, such failure shall be deemed to mean that BOC shall be unable to supply Hydrogen to Sunoco at substantially the quantities and specifications set forth in this Agreement on April 1, 2006.

(b) Unless Section 2.3.2(c) is applicable, if Hydrogen is not available on April 1, 2006 for supply to Sunoco from the BOC Facility at substantially the quantities and specifications set forth in this Agreement, Sunoco will make improvements to the Sunoco Hydrogen Plant during the Sunoco Turnaround that will enable the Sunoco Hydrogen Plant, for a one-year period commencing on April 1, 2006 (the “Plant Extension Period”), to operate efficiently and in a manner necessary to produce hydrogen meeting Sunoco’s hydrogen needs during the Plant Extension Period.

-2-

Sunoco shall prepare and submit to BOC for review a plan (the “Sunoco Capital Improvement and Restart Plan”) outlining the capital improvements and work necessary to restart the Sunoco Hydrogen Plant and to enable the Sunoco Hydrogen Plant to operate for the Plant Extension Period, and an estimate of the commercially reasonable cost to Sunoco (excluding variable costs and costs of utilities) for the purpose of improving, restarting and operating the Sunoco Hydrogen Plant for the Plant Extension Period. The Sunoco Capital Improvement and Restart Plan will be reviewed with BOC and the Parties agree to work together in good faith to minimize, to the extent possible, the expenditures and capital improvements necessary to improve, restart and operate the Sunoco Hydrogen Plant to enable it to produce Hydrogen needed by Sunoco during the Plant Extension Period. BOC shall pay to Sunoco, within thirty (30) days after the Sunoco Turnaround is complete, an amount equal to the cost set forth in the Sunoco Capital Improvement and Restart Plan (the “Capital Improvement and Restart Payment”). Notwithstanding the implementation of the Sunoco Capital Improvement and Restart Plan and the commencement of the Plant Extension Period, during the Plant Extension Period, BOC may provide Sunoco with written notice that it is ready and able to commence the supply of Hydrogen and Steam to Sunoco in the quantities set forth in this Agreement for Phase VI. Upon receipt of such notice and BOC’s demonstration, to the reasonable satisfaction of Sunoco (acting in good faith), that BOC (i) is able to supply Hydrogen and Steam to Sunoco at the quantities and specifications set forth in this Agreement for Phase VI, and (ii) adequately addressed the problems and/or reasons causing BOC’s failure to supply Hydrogen and Steam to Sunoco at the quantities and specifications set forth in this Agreement on April 1, 2006, then Sunoco shall commence the purchase and receipt of such Hydrogen and Steam from the BOC Facility and the Plant Extension Period shall terminate.

(c) If Sunoco has failed to meet the Critical Path Delivery Dates by more than fifty (50) cumulative days and BOC is unable to commence the supply of Hydrogen to Sunoco at substantially the quantities and specifications set forth in this Agreement by April 1, 2006 then, Sunoco and BOC agree to negotiate in good faith to prepare a mutually agreeable plan setting forth the capital improvements, if any, and work necessary and the costs thereof to restart and operate the Sunoco Hydrogen Plant for a period commencing on April 1, 2006 and ending on the date on which such Hydrogen is available for supply to Sunoco from the BOC Facility at substantially the quantities and specifications set forth in this Agreement for Phase VI (such a plan, the “Parties’ Restart Plan”). The Parties agree that in the event that this Section 2.3.2(c) is applicable, each Party shall bear its Proportionate Percentage of the cost of restarting and operating the Sunoco Hydrogen Plant during such period as set forth in the Parties’ Restart Plan. For purposes of this Section 2.3.2(c), each Party’s Proportionate Percentage shall be determined as follows:

(i) Sunoco’s Proportionate Percentage (“Sunoco’s Proportionate Percentage”) shall be equal to the product of 100 multiplied by a fraction (a) the numerator of which is the Total Sunoco Days of Delay minus 50, and (b) the denominator of which is the Total Days of Delay.

(ii) BOC’s Proportionate Percentage (“BOC’s Proportionate Percentage”) shall be equal to 100 minus Sunoco’s Proportionate Percentage. BOC shall pay to Sunoco, within thirty (30) days after the Sunoco Turnaround is completed pursuant to the Parties’ Restart Plan, an amount equal to the BOC’s Proportionate Percentage of the cost set forth in the Parties’ Restart Plan.

(iii) For purposes of this Section 2.3.2(c), “Total Sunoco Days of Delay” shall mean the cumulative number of days in which Sunoco has failed to deliver the site of the BOC Facility after a particular Critical Path Delivery Date, and “Total Days of Delay” shall mean the number of days after April 1, 2006 in which BOC cannot deliver Hydrogen at substantially the quantities and specifications set forth in this Agreement for April 1, 2006.

-3-

(d) In the event that Sunoco’s Proportionate Percentage is 100, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.3.2(c), there shall be no requirement for a Parties’ Restart Plan and Sunoco solely shall have the right to determine the capital improvements, if any and work necessary and the costs thereof to restart and operate the Sunoco Hydrogen Plan (the “Sunoco Restart Plan”), and BOC shall have no right to review the Sunoco Restart Plan.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event this Section 2.3.2 is triggered, and (i) Sunoco is receiving Hydrogen to meets its Hydrogen needs solely from the Sunoco Hydrogen Plant then, Sunoco shall not be required to pay any Facility Charge to BOC during the time in which Sunoco’s Hydrogen needs are being supplied solely by the Sunoco Hydrogen Plant, or (ii) Sunoco is receiving Hydrogen to meets its Hydrogen needs from both the Sunoco Hydrogen Plant and the BOC Facility then, Sunoco shall pay a proportionate share of the Facility Charge based on the amount of Hydrogen being supplied to Sunoco by the BOC Facility.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that this Section 2.3.2 is triggered and the Sunoco Hydrogen Plant is operating, Sunoco’s obligations to provided Feedstock, Utilities and Third Party Utilities to BOC under this Agreement shall be the same as Sunoco’s obligations to provide the same for Phase II as set forth on Schedule 4.1.1.

ARTICLE 4

FEEDSTOCK, FUEL AND UTILITIES SUPPLY TO THE BOC FACILITY

Section 4.1 Sunoco’s Obligations.

4.1.1. Quantities of Feedstock.

(a) During Phase I, Sunoco shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide BOC with Excess ROG, Natural Gas, Utilities (other than Softened Water) and Third Party Utilities in the quantities set forth on Schedule 4.1.1; and during Phase II through Phase VI, Sunoco shall provide Excess ROG, RFG, Utilities and Third Party Utilities in the quantities and at the times set forth on Schedule 4.1.1 with respect to each particular Phase set forth thereon.

(b) During Phases II through Phase VI, in the event that Sunoco (i) does not supply Excess ROG in an amount of at least [****] MMSCFD, BOC’s obligation to supply Sunoco Hydrogen will be reduced by [****] MMSCFD of Hydrogen per each [****] MMSCFD reduction in Excess ROG delivered to BOC; or (ii) delivers Excess ROG with hydrogen content below [****]%, then BOC’s obligation to supply Sunoco Hydrogen will be reduced by [****] MMSCFD of Hydrogen per [****]% change in hydrogen content in the Excess ROG delivered to BOC. In the event Sunoco consistently supplies less than [****] MMSCFD of Excess ROG and/or Excess ROG with less than [****]% Hydrogen content, the Parties will meet for purposes of understanding the causes and seek alternatives for increasing Hydrogen production back to contract volumes.

(c) During Phase VI, Sunoco may need to lower the purity of Hydrogen at the inlet of the Sunoco Hydrocracker make-up compressors to avoid operating problems of the Sunoco Hydrocracker recycle gas compressor. The Parties agree to work together to develop the best approach to deliver lower purity Hydrogen to Sunoco in order to avoid potential operating issues with the Sunoco Hydrocracker make-up compressors.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Sunoco shall have no obligation to provide any Hydrogen to (i) any BOC Pipeline Customer or (ii) BOC for delivery to or use by any BOC Pipeline Customer.

4.1.2. Specifications of Feedstock. Any Excess ROG, Natural Gas, RFG, Utilities and Third Party Utilities provided by Sunoco pursuant to Section 4.1.1 shall meet the specifications set forth on Schedule 4.1.2.

Section 4.2 BOC’s Obligations. During Phase I, Phase II and Phase III, BOC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Sunoco with enough tail gas as supplemented with Natural Gas and Hydrogen to enable Sunoco to maintain the Sunoco Hydrocracker make-up compressors at full capacity in the current configuration, provided that the Sunoco Hydrogen Plant is operated at process or equipment constraints at full capacity of approximately [****] MMSCFD using Natural Gas and tail gas as feed. During Phase I, the total volume of Hydrogen supplied by BOC and the Sunoco Hydrogen Plant which is supplying the Sunoco Hydrocracker make-up compressors cumulatively must be at a minimum volume equal to the volume of Hydrogen that would have been supplied by the current configuration of the Sunoco Hydrogen Plant. During Phase I, to the extent that Sunoco does not need any portion of the Hydrogen recovered from the Excess ROG supplied by Sunoco to BOC during this Phase in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, BOC may retain such Hydrogen; provided that Sunoco will receive a credit in the amount provided on Schedule 4.3.1 for any such Hydrogen retained by BOC. BOC shall separate the Excess ROG supplied by Sunoco pursuant to Section 4.1 into Hydrogen and tail gas. The tail gas, supplemented with Natural Gas as needed, shall be compressed by BOC up to 330 psig and, subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2, all such amounts shall be supplied and delivered to Sunoco for use at the Sunoco Refinery. During Phase I, the Natural Gas compressed by BOC will be supplied by Sunoco. During Phase II and Phase III, BOC will receive credit for all tail gas supplied to Sunoco during such Phases based on the BTU contents (MMBTU HHV). [****]

Section 4.3 Credits to Sunoco.

4.3.1. Credit for Supply of Excess ROG. During Phase I, BOC will credit Sunoco for its supply of Excess ROG in accordance with the formula set forth on Schedule 4.3.1.

Section 4.6 Natural Gas Purchasing and Pricing Methodology. Six (6) months prior to the Commercial Operations Date and every two (2) years thereafter, BOC will prepare a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) which will include the Natural Gas volume required by BOC to produce the Hydrogen nominated by Sunoco. BOC may elect to buy incremental Natural Gas volume. The RFP will be submitted for review to Sunoco. The agreed upon RFP will outline the terms and conditions for the supply of Natural Gas and interstate transportation to Columbia of Ohio’s citygate(s) (COHCG). The RFP will be issued to an agreed upon bidders list. Such list will be subject to the prior approval of BOC and Sunoco, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. At Sunoco’s option, Sunoco shall be included on the bidders list. BOC will evaluate the proposals from the RFP process and contract for the supply of Natural Gas. For the purpose of allocating all cost and benefits associated with banking and balancing the actual monthly Natural Gas purchases as per the natural gas supply gas contract, BOC will allocate the costs of the Natural Gas supply based on the actual Natural Gas used to produce Hydrogen for Sunoco. BOC will follow the guidelines written in Schedule 4.6 for allocating Natural Gas volumes (including banking and balancing) between Sunoco and BOC for its own needs. Effective immediately, for Columbia of Ohio’s Local Distribution Company (“COHLDC”) charges, BOC and Sunoco will each nominate a person to form a local distribution company negotiating team (“LDC Negotiating Team”). Sunoco acknowledges that BOC may include other interested parties to participate on the LDC Negotiating Team. The LDC Negotiating Team will negotiate COHLDC charges for the delivery of Natural Gas from COHCG to the BOC Facility. The LDC negotiating team will agree upon duration, terms and conditions for the COHLDC charges. These terms, as a minimum, will include: transport rate, balancing allowances and banking provisions. The NGIn, as defined in Schedule 4.6, shall consist of the COHCG cost plus COHLDC cost. Terms of payment from Sunoco to BOC will assure that the Natural Gas payments due to BOC’s natural gas supplier and to Columbia of Ohio are paid when due and that BOC will not incur any working capital costs for the purchase of Natural Gas. Sunoco recognizes that BOC is treating all Natural Gas costs, benefits and charges as a result of banking and balancing on a pass through basis.

ARTICLE 9

BOC PERFORMANCE GUARANTEES AND NON-PERFORMANCE

Section 9.1 Nomination Performance Guarantee.

9.1.1. Determination of Nomination Guarantee. Subject to Section 5.11, BOC guarantees that BOC will produce and deliver to Sunoco during the Supply Period Hydrogen within the Hydrogen Specifications at the corresponding daily volume nominations requested by Sunoco with a minimum Percentage Availability of [****]% per Contract Year. As used in this Agreement, “Percentage Availability” means the following:

Percentage Availability =

Total Hydrogen supplied by BOC in a Contract Year

divided by

Total Nominations of Hydrogen by Sunoco in a Contract Year

excluding any (i) period of Zero Hydrogen Supply, (ii) any periods required to safely ramp the BOC Facility up or down based on Sunoco’s nominations of Hydrogen, (iii) BOC Scheduled Maintenance, (iv) a Force Majeure Event, (v) Hydrogen not meeting the Hydrogen Specifications to the extent accepted by Sunoco, and (vi) Sunoco’s failure to deliver or supply Utilities, Natural Gas or Third Party Utilities. For purposes of the annual calculation of the Percentage Availability, the daily Hydrogen supplied by BOC can not exceed the daily Hydrogen nominated by Sunoco.

-18-

9.1.2. Bonus/Liquidated Damage Payment Account.

(a) For each Contract Year, BOC shall establish and maintain a record to record the Percentage Availability on a daily and an annual basis.

(b) If the Percentage Availability is greater than [****]%, then, BOC shall be entitled to receive from Sunoco a bonus payment in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Percentage Availability minus [****] multiplied by (ii) [****] (the “Nomination Bonus Payment”). The Nomination Bonus Payment will be included in the Facility Charge Invoice for the second (2^nd) month of the year following the Contract Year in which such Nomination Bonus Payment was earned.

(c) If the Percentage Availability is less than [****]%, then, Sunoco shall be entitled to receive from BOC a payment in an amount equal to the product of (i) [****] minus the Percentage Availability multiplied by (ii) [****] (the “Nomination Liquidated Damage Payment”). The Nomination Liquidated Damage Payment will be credited against the Facility Charge Invoice for the second (2^nd) month of the year following the Contract Year in which such Nomination Liquidated Damage Payment was earned. Examples of such Nomination Bonus Payment and Nominated Liquidated Damage Payment are set forth in Schedule 9.1.

Section 9.2 Excused Performance.

9.2.1. Scheduled Maintenance.

(a) During the Supply Period, BOC will be entitled to (i) perform routine maintenance on the BOC Facility for a period of ten (10) days every twenty-four (24) consecutive months (“BOC Routine Maintenance”), and (ii) perform turnarounds and major maintenance on the BOC Facility for a period of twenty-one (21) days every forty-eight (48) consecutive months (“BOC Facility Turnaround” and, together with “BOC Routine Maintenance, “BOC Scheduled Maintenance”). During the first (1^st) month of each Contract Year, Sunoco will provide BOC with a rolling four (4) year plan of its anticipated turnaround of the Sunoco Hydrocracker and will give BOC at least six (6) months’ advance written notice of the dates and term of its major maintenance turnaround of the Sunoco Hydrocracker (any such turnaround, the “Sunoco Turnaround” and any such notice the “Sunoco Turnaround Notice”). The Sunoco Turnaround Notice also shall state Sunoco’s anticipated Hydrogen and Steam requirements, if any, during a Sunoco Turnaround and the volumes, if any, of RFG and ROG that Sunoco will supply to BOC during a Sunoco Turnaround. BOC must coordinate and implement the BOC Routine Maintenance and the BOC Facility Turnaround with the routine maintenance and turnaround performed by Sunoco with respect to the Sunoco Hydrocracker which is scheduled to occur for twenty-one (21) days every twenty-four (24) consecutive months, and for twenty-one to thirty days every forty-eight (48) consecutive months. With Sunoco’s prior written approval, BOC may extend the period of the BOC Scheduled Maintenance provided Sunoco has no demand for Hydrogen during such extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Sunoco Turnaround is less than the time period outlined above, then BOC shall nevertheless be entitled to the allowance of BOC Scheduled Maintenance as set forth above.

(b) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Sunoco Turnaround Notice will be a good faith indication of Sunoco’s intended plans for a Sunoco Turnaround, but will not be binding on Sunoco. At least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the anticipated turnaround date in the Sunoco Turnaround Notice, Sunoco shall have the right to change the turnaround date by providing notice of the new turnaround date to BOC. If Sunoco elects to change the anticipated turnaround date on less than one hundred twenty (120) days notice to BOC, Sunoco shall bear any documented incremental cost, if any, incurred and that cannot be mitigated by BOC in moving the turnaround date for the BOC

-19-

Routine Maintenance and BOC Facility Turnaround to the new date on which Sunoco will perform routine maintenance and turnaround with respect to the Sunoco Hydrocracker.

9.2.2. Excused Volume Shortfall.

(a) For each Contract Year during the Supply Period, BOC will be permitted up to [****] hours of excused non-performance (the “Excused Annual Shortfall Period”) when no Hydrogen will be required to be supplied to Sunoco notwithstanding Sunoco’s nomination to receive Hydrogen (“Zero Hydrogen Supply”). The Excused Annual Shortfall Period set forth in this Section 9.2.2 shall be in addition to the times in which BOC is excused from delivering Hydrogen to Sunoco under this Agreement as a result of BOC Scheduled Maintenance, a Force Majeure Event, or Sunoco’s failure to supply Utilities, Natural Gas or Third Party Utilities.

(b) BOC shall, on a monthly basis, track and accumulate the times in which Zero Hydrogen Supply has occurred under this Agreement (other than as a result of BOC Scheduled Maintenance, Sunoco’s failure to supply Utilities, Natural Gas or Third Party Utilities or a Force Majeure Event) when Sunoco has nominated a Hydrogen requirement. For each hour of Zero Hydrogen Supply in excess of the Excused Annual Shortfall Period, BOC shall pay to Sunoco an amount equal to [****] per hour (the “On-Stream Guarantee Penalty Payment”). In respect of each hour of Zero Hydrogen Supply less than the Excused Annual Shortfall Period, Sunoco shall pay to BOC an amount equal to [****] per hour (the “On-Stream Guarantee Bonus Payment”).

(c) Sunoco shall be credited for its first On-Stream Guarantee Penalty Payment at the time in which Zero Hydrogen Supply exceeds the Excused Annual Shortfall Period, and thereafter, each time the Zero Hydrogen Supply exceeds the Excused Annual Shortfall, the On-Stream Guarantee Penalty Payment to which Sunoco is entitled shall be deducted from the Facility Charge Invoice for the month following the month in which the On-Stream Guarantee Penalty Payment was earned by Sunoco. If BOC is entitled to receive the On-Stream Guarantee Bonus Payment, such payment shall be added to the Facility Charge Invoice for the second (2^nd) month following the Contract Year in which such payment was earned by BOC. Example of On-Stream Guarantee Penalty/Bonus Payments are set forth in Schedule 9.1.

Section 9.3 Trip Guarantee.

9.3.1. Trip Penalty Payment. Except due to any Force Majeure Event, BOC Scheduled Maintenance, Sunoco’s interruption of the supply of Excess ROG (that directly causes the Trip) or Sunoco’s failure to supply Utilities, Natural Gas or Third Party Utilities, during the Supply Period, for each Contract Year, BOC will pay a penalty to Sunoco in the amount set forth on Schedule 9.3.1 for every Trip in excess of the number of Annual Permitted Trips (the “Trip Penalty”). The Trip Penalty is in addition to and independent of the BOC performance guarantees set forth in Section 9.1 and Section 9.2 and any downtime or non-performance associated with a Trip (including as a result of the Annual Permitted Trips) shall be accumulated and shall count in determining the performance guarantees set forth in Section 9.1 and Section 9.2.2.

9.3.2. Incentive Payments for Trips. In the event that the number of Trips for a Contract Year is less than the Annual Permitted Trips for that Contract Year, Sunoco shall pay an incentive payment to BOC in the amount set forth on Schedule 9.3.1 (the “Trip Incentive Payment”).

9.3.3. Payment of Trip Penalty/Incentive Payment. Each Trip Penalty Payment to which Sunoco is entitled shall be deducted from the Facility Charge Invoice for the month following the month in which the Trip generating the payment occurred. If BOC is entitled to receive the Trip

-20-

Incentive Payment, such payment shall be added to the Facility Charge Invoice for the second (2^nd) month following the Contract Year in which such payment was earned by BOC. For purposes of this Section 9.3.3, an example of the calculation of any Trip Penalty Payments which may be payable hereunder is set forth in Schedule 9.3.1.

Section 9.4 BOC Oversight Meetings and Corrective Actions.

9.4.1. Operations Interface Meetings. BOC and Sunoco shall have periodic Operations Interface Meetings (to be held at a minimum on a quarterly basis) to review general operational matters including any ongoing situations such as: (a) Zero Hydrogen Supply from BOC; (b) Trips of the BOC Facility; (c) if the purity of the Hydrogen delivered to Sunoco under this Agreement is less than [****]%; or (d) the failure by BOC to meet daily nominations of Hydrogen, to discuss the reasons why such occurrence has happened and how best to resolve the problem and prevent future occurrences, and BOC will advise Sunoco of any corrective measures that may be implemented. The Parties may schedule additional meetings as necessary to discuss any operational matter of specific concern.

9.4.2. BOC Corrective Action Plan. If during any Contract Year one or more of the following occurs: (a) there are more than one hundred sixty-eight (168) hours of Zero Hydrogen Supply; (b) there are more than six (6) Trips at the BOC Facility; (c) the purity of the Hydrogen delivered to Sunoco under this Agreement is less than [****]% for a continuous period of twenty (20) days, or (d) BOC fails to meet the daily nominations of Hydrogen for five (5) days during any month, then, BOC promptly (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such occurrence) shall submit to Sunoco a plan (the “BOC Corrective Action Plan”) setting forth the reasons/causes of the occurrence and the definitive corrective measures that will be taken by BOC at BOC’s expense (without adjustment to any of the fees hereunder) to address the problem that caused the occurrence, which BOC Corrective Action Plan shall be implemented as soon as commercially practicable. The remedy set forth in this Section 9.4.2 shall be in addition to any other remedies to which Sunoco may be entitled under this Article 9 as a result of the occurrence, and is not intended to minimize or restrict Sunoco’s ability to enforce such remedies.

9.4.3. Management Corrective Action Plan. If during any Contract Year one or more of the following occurs: (a) there are more than two hundred forty (240) hours of Zero Hydrogen Supply; (b) there are more than eight (8) Trips at the BOC Facility; (c) the purity of the Hydrogen delivered to Sunoco under this Agreement is less than [****]% for a continuous period of thirty (30) days, or (d) BOC fails to meet the daily nominations of Hydrogen for ten (10) days during any month, then, in addition to the remedies set forth in Section 9.4.2, senior management from the Sunoco Refinery and the BOC Facility promptly (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such occurrence) shall meet to review, discuss and mutually agree how best to resolve the problem(s) causing the occurrence and shall establish definitive corrective measures and the time for implementing such measures (the “Management Corrective Action Plan”) that must be taken by BOC at BOC’s expense (without adjustment to any of the fees hereunder) to address the problem(s) that caused the occurrence, and any such Management Corrective Action Plan shall be implemented as soon as commercially practicable. If BOC fails to implement the Management Corrective Action Plan within the time periods set forth therein, BOC shall pay to Sunoco an amount equal to $25,000 per day until BOC fully implements the Management Corrective Action Plan, which amount shall be credited against the Facility Charge Invoice for the next month following the month in which such payment was earned. The remedy set forth in this Section 9.4.3 shall be in addition to any other remedies to which Sunoco may be entitled under this Article 9 as a result of the occurrence, and is not intended to minimize or restrict Sunoco’s ability to enforce such remedies.

9.4.4. Parties’ Corrective Action Plan; Senior Executive Level Meeting. If during any Contract Year one or more of the following occurs: (a) there are more than three hundred

-21-

(300) hours of Zero Hydrogen Supply; (b) there are more than ten (10) Trips at the BOC Facility; (c) if the purity of the Hydrogen delivered to Sunoco under this Agreement is less than [****]% for a continuous period of forty-five (45) days or a total of sixty (60) days in any Contract Year; (d) there is a continuous pattern of unaddressed significant and material safety violations; or (e) BOC fails to meet the daily nominations of Hydrogen for fifteen (15) days during any month, then, in addition to the remedies set forth in Sections 9.4.2 and 9.4.3, senior executive officers from Sunoco and BOC promptly (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such occurrence with respect to clause (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 9.4.4) shall meet to review, discuss and mutually agree how best to resolve the problem(s) causing the occurrence and BOC shall engage and consult with a third party consultant who is experienced with the issue or issues giving rise to the occurrence. The third party consultant shall recommend definitive corrective measures and the times such corrective measures will be implemented (the “Parties’ Corrective Action Plan”) that must be taken by BOC at BOC’s expense (without adjustment to any of the fees hereunder) to address the problem(s) that caused the occurrence, and any such Parties’ Corrective Action Plan shall be implemented within the time periods established in the Parties’ Corrective Action Plan. If BOC fails to implement such Parties’ Corrective Action Plan within such time periods, then, BOC, with Sunoco’s consent, not to be unreasonably denied or withheld, shall appoint a temporary Qualified Replacement Operator which will operate the Facility until such time that the Parties’ Corrective Action Plan is fully implemented. The costs associated with the third party consultant and the temporary Qualified Replacement Operator shall be paid by BOC. The Facility Charge and all other charges and credits shall continue in effect during such time the Qualified Replacement Operator operates the BOC Facility. The remedy set forth in this Section 9.4.4 shall be in addition to any other remedies to which Sunoco may be entitled under this Article 9 as a result of the occurrence, and is not intended to minimize or restrict Sunoco’s ability to enforce such remedies.

9.4.5. Third Party Plan. In the event that a Corrective Action Plan is implemented but fails to correct the occurrence that it was intended to address and further remedial action is required, then, the Parties agree that the next succeeding Corrective Action Plan shall be implemented by the Parties notwithstanding that the events giving rise to the next succeeding Corrective Action Plan may not have been triggered under the particular Section of this Agreement with respect to that succeeding Corrective Action Plan. For purposes of illustrating the foregoing sentence, in the event that BOC implements a BOC Corrective Action Plan and the BOC Corrective Action Plan fails to correct the occurrence that it was intended to address and further remedial action is required, then, a Management Corrective Action Plan shall be implemented pursuant to Section 9.4.3 notwithstanding that the events set forth in Section 9.4.3 requiring a Management Corrective Action Plan shall not have occurred. If BOC ultimately is required to implement a Parties’ Corrective Action Plan and such Parties’ Corrective Action Plan fails to correct the occurrence that it was intended to address and further remedial action is required, then, the Parties shall appoint a mutually agreed independent qualified third party to develop a commercially reasonable revised plan within the scope of the Parties’ operating abilities (the “Third Party Plan”). BOC shall implement such Third Party Plan within the time frames set forth therein. In the event BOC fails to implement the Third Party Plan, then, BOC, with Sunoco’s consent, not to be unreasonably denied or withheld, shall appoint a Qualified Replacement Operator which will operate the BOC Facility for a period of up to twelve (12) months. BOC may resume operations of the BOC Facility when BOC presents a plan that is reasonably acceptable to Sunoco (the “Step In Plan”). The costs associated with the Qualified Replacement Operator shall be paid by BOC. The Facility Charge and all other charges and credits shall continue in effect during such time the Qualified Replacement Operator operates the BOC Facility. The remedy set forth in this Section 9.4.5 shall be in addition to any other remedies to which Sunoco may be entitled under this Article 9 as a result of the occurrence, and is not intended to minimize or restrict Sunoco’s ability to enforce such remedies.

9.4.6. Option to Terminate. In the event BOC resumes operations of the BOC Facility pursuant to Section 9.4.5 and the Step In Plan fails to correct the occurrences covered by the Step

-22-

In Plan, then Sunoco shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, subject to Section 18.3.3. If Sunoco elects to terminate the Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.4.6, then such termination shall be effective on the second (2^nd) anniversary of the date of the notice given by Sunoco under this Section 9.4.6.

9.4.7. Excused from Application . Notwithstanding the foregoing, BOC shall be excused from the application of the provisions of Sections 9.4.2, 9.4.3, 9.4.4 and 9.4.5, above, due to any Force Majeure Event, BOC Scheduled Maintenance or Sunoco’s failure to (a) supply the Feedstock, Third Party Utilities and Utilities as contemplated under this Agreement or (b) purchase and take Steam.

9.4.8. Obligation to Correct. Except in those circumstances in which Sections 9.4.2, 9.4.3, 9.4.4 and 9.4.5 are applicable, BOC shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to expeditiously rectify the circumstances giving rise to any occurrence triggering the application of Section 9.1, Section 9.2.2 and Section 9.3.

Section 9.5 Sunoco Oversight Meetings and Corrective Actions.

9.5.1. Operations Interface Meetings. BOC and Sunoco shall have periodic operation interface meetings to review general operational matters regarding Sunoco’s supply of (a) Softened Water not meeting the specifications for pH at 25^oF, conductivity and hardness as set forth on Schedule 4.1.2 or Electricity not meeting the specifications set forth on Schedule 4.1.2, or (b) taking of effluent and Steam as required under this Agreement to discuss the reasons why such occurrence has occurred and how to best resolve the problem and prevent future occurrences. Sunoco will advise BOC of any corrective measures that may be implemented to address such occurrences.

9.5.2. Sunoco Action Plan. If during any Contract Year, Sunoco (a) fails to supply Softened Water meeting the specifications for pH at 25^oF, conductivity and hardness as set forth on Schedule 4.1.2 in this Agreement for more than twenty-four (24) hours, or (b) fails to provide Electricity meeting the specifications set forth in Schedule 4.1.2 for a period of time longer than twenty-four (24) hours, or (c) fails to maintain the redundancy set forth in Section 4.5, then Sunoco shall submit to BOC a definitive plan to correct such occurrences and shall implement the plan at the times set forth therein. If Sunoco fails to implement the corrective action plan within the time periods set forth therein, Sunoco shall pay to BOC an amount equal to $25,000 per day until Sunoco fully implements its corrective action plan, which amount will be included in the Facility Charge Invoice for the next month following the month in which such amount was earned. Notwithstanding the above, clause (b) of this Section 9.5.2 shall not apply if Sunoco’s failure to provide Electricity to BOC is due to a third party’s failure to supply Sunoco with electricity. The remedy set forth herein shall be in addition to any other remedies BOC may be entitled under this Section 9.5.

9.5.3. Obligation to Correct. Except in those circumstances in which Section 9.5.2 applies, Sunoco shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to expeditiously rectify the circumstances giving rise to any occurrence triggering the application of Section 9.5.1.

whatever performance is affected by such event of Force Majeure Event to the extent so affected, provided that:

(a) the non-performing Party as soon as reasonably possible after the occurrence of the inability to perform due to a Force Majeure Event provides written notice to the other Party of the particulars of the occurrence including an estimate of its expected duration and probable impact on the performance of its obligations hereunder; and

(b) the non-performing Party shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to continue to perform its obligations hereunder and to remedy its inability to so perform as quickly as possible.

Section 12.2 Third Party Review. If the Force Majeure Event continues after a sixty (60) day period, then, the non-performing Party shall, at its sole cost and expense, engage a qualified independent third party (the “Third Party Reviewer”) to review the circumstances and/or impact of the Force Majeure Event on the non-performing Party and to determine a commercially reasonable time and manner in which the consequences of the Force Majeure Event should be corrected (the “Third Party Review”). The Third Party Reviewer shall be subject to the reasonable consent of the other Party. The non-performing Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to address the consequences of the Force Majeure Event within the time period set forth in the Third Party Review. If the non-performing Party fails to correct such consequences within such time period, the non-performing Party shall not be excused from performance for the Force Majeure Event after the time period for correction as established by the Third Party Reviewer.

Section 12.3 BOC Force Majeure Event. If there is a BOC Force Majeure Event and BOC fails to deliver the Minimum Hydrogen Quantity nominated by Sunoco for a period of five (5) consecutive days, then, Sunoco shall, after such five (5) day period, have no obligation to pay that portion of the Facility Charge (together with any then applicable price adjustment) which it would otherwise have been obligated to pay to BOC pursuant to this Agreement that is apportionable to such full days during which the BOC Force Majeure Event is in effect. If BOC so elects in writing, the Supply Period shall be extended three (3) times the period of abatement for a BOC Force Majeure Event occurring during the first five years of the Supply Period, and one (1) time the period of abatement for a BOC Force Majeure Event occurring thereafter; provided that the period of extension shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days. Sunoco shall be required to pay the Facility Charge during the period of extension of the Supply Period pursuant to this Section 12.3.

Section 12.4 Sunoco Force Majeure Event. Upon the occurrence of a Sunoco Force Majeure Event during which Sunoco takes no Hydrogen or fails to take the Minimum Hydrogen Quantity nominated by Sunoco for a period of five (5) or more consecutive days, the Supply Period automatically shall be extended for the same number of full days during which the Sunoco Force Majeure Event remains in effect; provided that the period of extension shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days. Sunoco shall not be excused from paying to BOC the Facility Charge provided for in this Agreement during the Sunoco Force Majeure Event, but shall be excused from paying the Facility Charge during the extension of the supply period pursuant to this Section 12.4.

ARTICLE 13

ALLOCATIONS

Section 13.1 Allocations of Hydrogen. If at any time the Total Available Hydrogen is insufficient to fulfill BOC’s daily delivery obligations to Sunoco and the BOC Pipeline Customer (whether as a result of a Force Majeure Event or otherwise), Sunoco shall receive no less than an

-28-

allocation that would result if BOC were to allocate its Total Available Hydrogen equitably among Sunoco and the BOC Pipeline Customer based on the average volumes of Hydrogen that were taken by Sunoco and the BOC Pipeline Customer in the seventy-two (72)-hour period of normal operation excluding Sunoco Turnaround or start-up periods immediately prior to the period requiring such allocation.

ARTICLE 14

WARRANTY

Section 14.1 Warranty.

(b) any representation or warranty of BOC shall prove to have been false or inaccurate in any material respect upon the date when made or deemed to have been made.

18.3.3. Senior Level Meeting Prior to Termination. Prior to a termination by Sunoco pursuant to Section 18.3.1(c) or 18.3.1(d), the senior executive officers of Sunoco and BOC shall meet at a mutually agreeable place and time (such time not to exceed thirty (30) days after Sunoco notifies BOC of its intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 18.3.1(c) or 18.3.1(d)) to make a good faith attempt to resolve the issues giving rise to Sunoco’s right to terminate Section 18.3.1(c) or 18.3.1(d).

18.3.4. Site Preparation Costs. Schedule 18.3.4 sets forth as of the Effective Date an estimate of the site preparation costs expected to be incurred by Sunoco (the “Site Preparation Costs”). Notwithstanding such estimate, BOC acknowledges and agrees that if Sunoco terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 18.3.1(c), BOC shall reimburse Sunoco for all actual out-of-pocket Site Preparation Costs incurred by Sunoco as documented by Sunoco through invoices. BOC shall pay such Site Preparation Costs within thirty (30) days after receipt of the invoices documenting such costs.

Section 18.4 Equitable Relief, Service of Process and Jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that a Party determines in good faith that the other Party is willfully refusing to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and such refusal is reasonably likely to cause substantial economic harm to the affected Party, the affected Party may seek immediate equitable relief from any United States District Court in the State of Ohio (the “Federal Court”) to require the non-performing Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or, if the Federal Court does not have jurisdiction, any state court in the State of Ohio (the “State Court”).

A final judgment (which shall include the exhaustion of a Party’s appellate rights) obtained in respect of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in this Section 18.4 shall be conclusive. This Section 18.4 shall be in addition to and not in lieu of the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Appendix B, and neither Party shall be deemed to have waived the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Appendix B in the event that this Section 18.4 is invoked.

ARTICLE 19

EXPANSION OF BOC FACILITY

Section 19.1 Expansion of BOC Facility. After the Commercial Operations Date, if Sunoco’s demands for Hydrogen increase beyond what is contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, Sunoco shall so notify BOC in writing of the additional Hydrogen that Sunoco requires (the “Additional Hydrogen Demand”) and BOC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to produce additional Hydrogen from the then existing BOC Facility at a price provided by BOC and acceptable to Sunoco or to supply Sunoco with additional Hydrogen from a source other than the BOC Facility to meet the Additional Hydrogen Demand. If BOC intends to supply Sunoco with Hydrogen from a source other than the BOC Facility, BOC shall give Sunoco reasonable advanced written notice of the source and the price at which the Additional Hydrogen Demand shall be met. If BOC can not meet the Additional Hydrogen Demand from the then existing BOC Facility or otherwise or if the price at which BOC will

-32-

supply the Additional Hydrogen Demand is not reasonably acceptable to Sunoco, BOC shall provide to Sunoco a proposal for expansion of the BOC Facility (the “Expansion Proposal”). Sunoco shall have a period of ninety (90) days after receipt of the Expansion Proposal to accept or reject the Expansion Proposal. In the event that Sunoco elects to accept the Expansion Proposal, BOC shall be required to undertake the expansion of the BOC Facility in accordance with the Expansion Proposal.

ARTICLE 20

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 20.1 Taxes. During the Supply Period, Sunoco shall pay sales and use taxes levied by the State of Ohio or any other taxing authority on the sale of Hydrogen and Steam and any other taxes associated with BOC’s supply obligations under this Agreement (other than state and local property taxes imposed on the BOC Facility and any tax based upon the equity or income of BOC). BOC will cooperate with Sunoco, at no cost to BOC, to minimize such taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, with respect to personal property taxes or payment in lieu of such taxes assessed against the BOC Facility, during the Term of this Agreement, Sunoco shall reimburse BOC for personal property taxes or payment in lieu of such taxes assessed against the BOC Facility in proportion to the amount that Sunoco’s reserved capacity of Hydrogen is of the total amount of Hydrogen capacity reserved by Sunoco and the BOC Pipeline Customer. Any amount required to be paid by Sunoco under this Section 20.1 will be paid by Sunoco in the first (1^st) month following the receipt by Sunoco of an invoice of such taxes.

Section 20.2 Estoppel Certificates. Sunoco and BOC shall execute and deliver to each other, at such time or times as Sunoco or BOC may request, a certificate evidencing whether or not (a) this Agreement is in full force and effect; (b) this Agreement has been modified or amended in any respect and describing such modifications or amendments, if any; and (c) there are any existing defaults thereunder to the knowledge of the Party executing the certificate, and specifying the nature of such defaults, if any. If either Party shall fail to deliver said certificate within fifteen (15) days from request therefor it shall be concluded that this Agreement is in full force and effect, unmodified and without default. Any certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 20.2 may be relied upon by any prospective Permitted Assignee or any prospective purchaser of the Sunoco Refinery.

Section 20.3 Confidentiality. Sunoco and BOC agree that they will maintain in confidence, and will cause their respective Representatives to maintain in confidence, and not use to the detriment of the other Party any written, oral, or other information obtained in confidence from the other Party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and will be bound by the terms of the confidentiality provisions set forth on Appendix C, and that the provisions set forth on Appendix C are hereby incorporated by reference in this Agreement as if fully set forth herein.

Section 20.4 Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio without reference to principles of conflicts of law.

Section 20.5 Severability and Renegotiation. Should any provision of this Agreement for any reason be declared invalid or unenforceable by final and unappealable order of any court or regulatory body having jurisdiction there over, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions, which remaining portions shall remain in force and effect as if this Agreement had been executed with the invalid portion thereof eliminated. In the event any such provision of this Agreement is so declared invalid, the Parties shall promptly renegotiate in good faith new provisions to eliminate such invalidity and to restore this Agreement as near as possible to its original intent and effect.

Section 20.6 Other Agreements; Amendments. This Agreement and the Appendixes, Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto supersede any and all oral or written agreements and understandings heretofore made relating to the subject matters herein and constitute the entire agreement

-33-

and understanding of the Parties relating to the subject matters herein. No amendment or modification of the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon either Party to this Agreement unless reduced to writing and executed by Sunoco and BOC.

Section 20.7 Non-Waiver. It is understood that any delay, waiver or omission by Sunoco or BOC to exercise any right or power arising from any breach or default by Sunoco or BOC with respect to any of the terms, provisions or covenants of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver by Sunoco or BOC of any subsequent breach or default of the same or other terms, provisions or covenants on the part of Sunoco or BOC. All such waivers must be in writing to be effective.

Section 20.8 Captions. All indices, titles, subject headings, section titles and similar items are provided for the purpose of reference and convenience and are not intended to be inclusive, definitive or to affect the meaning, content or scope of this Agreement.

Section 20.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each counterpart shall have the same force and effect as the original instrument.

Section 20.10 Binding Effect. The terms and provisions of this Agreement and the respective rights and obligations hereunder of Sunoco and BOC shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 20.11 Public Announcements. The Parties agree that no Party will issue any press release or make any announcement to employees or other public statement with respect to the proposals contemplated in this Agreement without the prior written agreement of the other Parties. The Parties will consult with each other with respect to the content of any such release, announcement, or statement.

Section 20.12 Changes in Governmental Rules. If, at any time after the Effective Date, there is a change in Governmental Rules that may (i) materially limit the production capacity of the BOC Facility, (ii) materially increase the cost of operating or maintaining the BOC Facility, or (iii) require modifications or additions to the BOC Facility, BOC shall provide Sunoco with a written plan setting forth the change in Governmental Rules, BOC’s estimation of the impact to the BOC Facility, BOC’s proposed method for complying with such change in Governmental Rules, and any reasonable action BOC intends to take in order to eliminate or minimize the impact of such change in Governmental Rules on the BOC Facility. BOC shall consult with Sunoco concerning the most economical and commercially prudent methods for complying with such change in Governmental Rules to confirm that there is not a more cost effective manner in which to comply with such change in Governmental Rules. BOC and Sunoco agree to cooperate with each other in good faith in order to minimize any costs and expenses incurred with respect to the BOC Facility as a result of any change in Governmental Rules. Once the process set forth in this Section 20.12 has been completed, BOC may carry out any modifications or additions required to the BOC Facility in compliance with the method adopted by BOC. The Facility Charge to Sunoco will be adjusted on a proportional basis with any BOC Pipeline Customer to reflect any such modifications and additions after taking into account the unexpired term of the Supply Period remaining under this Agreement.

Section 20.13 Maintenance of Management System.

20.13.1. Facility Management System. During the Term, BOC shall maintain a management system for the BOC Facility (the “BOC Facility Management System”) which addresses all

-34-

of the elements set forth on Sunoco’s Facility Management Systems attached hereto as Schedule 20.13.1 substantially in the manner set forth thereon (the “Required Elements”).

20.13.2. Verification of Management System. Within 180 days after the Commercial Operations Date, BOC shall permit a third party auditor selected by Sunoco (an “Approved Auditor”) to review and audit the BOC Facility Management System and to assess whether the BOC Facility Management System addresses all of the Required Elements in the manner set forth on Schedule 20.13.1. BOC acknowledges and agrees that the Approved Auditor shall deliver a letter to Sunoco confirming whether the BOC Facility Management System addresses the Required Elements in the proper manner (the “Verification Letter”). If the Approved Auditor is unable to confirm that the BOC Facility Management System complies with this Section 20.13, BOC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to revise the BOC Facility Management System to ensure compliance, and BOC shall permit an Approved Auditor to review such BOC Facility Management System. Upon reasonable notice to BOC and during reasonable business hours so as not to interfere with BOC’s operations at the BOC Facility, Sunoco shall maintain the right to periodically review the BOC Facility Management System following Sunoco’s receipt of the Verification Letter to ensure that the BOC Facility Management System continues to address the Required Elements.

Section 20.14 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended to confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on or to any Person other than the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns (whether so expressed or not), and no Party hereto shall have any obligation to any such Persons (other than respective successors and permitted assigns of the Parties hereto).

APPENDIX B

DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURES

(1) Binding and Exclusive Means. Except as otherwise set forth in Sections 9.4.6 and 18.4 of the Product Supply Agreement to which this Appendix B is attached, the dispute resolution provisions set forth in this Appendix B shall be the binding and exclusive means to resolve all disputes arising under this Agreement (each a “Dispute”); provided, however, that this Appendix B shall not limit any Party’s recourse to courts of competent jurisdiction for injunctive or equitable relief that may be necessary to protect the rights and property of such Party or maintain the status quo during the pendency of the process set forth in this Appendix B.

(2) ADR and Binding Arbitration Procedures. If a Dispute arises, the following procedures shall be implemented (with references to “Parties” meaning the Parties involved in the Dispute):

(a) Any Party may at any time invoke the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Appendix B as to any Dispute by providing written notice of such action to the other Parties. The disputing Parties within five Business Days after such notice shall schedule a meeting between the Parties to be held in Toledo, Ohio. The meeting shall occur within ten (10) Business Days after notice of the meeting is delivered to the Parties. The meeting shall be attended by representatives of each Party having decision-making authority regarding the Dispute as well as the dispute resolution process. The meeting shall be attended by senior management level personnel of each of the Parties, which persons have not previously been directly engaged in asserting or responding to the Dispute. Such persons shall attempt in a commercially reasonable manner to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute, which negotiations may entail the involvement of and meetings attended by additional senior management level personnel senior to such persons. If such senior management level personnel shall not have negotiated a resolution to the dispute within 60 days of the initial notice of such Dispute, then a meeting attended by either the Chief Executive Officer or a senior executive officer designated by the Chief Executive Officer with full decision-making authority with respect to the Dispute and the dispute resolution process, of each ultimate parent company of each of the Parties shall occur in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and such persons shall attempt in a commercially reasonable manner to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute before these procedures may be deemed to have been exhausted. If such persons succeed in negotiating a resolution of the Dispute, one or more Parties shall be directed (in as comprehensive detail as reasonably practicable) to take the actions necessary to carry out such resolution. Each Party shall have a commercially reasonable time in which to take such actions, and such period shall automatically be extended if such Party has in good faith and diligently commenced and continued with its actions (a “Cure Period”).

(b) As part of the process set forth in subsection (a), or if following the Cure Period, a Party believes in good faith that a Dispute still exists, the representatives of the Parties shall cooperate in a commercially reasonable manner and shall explore whether techniques such as mediation, minitrials, mock trials or other techniques of alternative dispute resolution might be useful. In the event that a technique of alternative dispute resolution is so agreed upon, a specific timetable and completion date for its implementation shall also be agreed upon. The representatives will continue to meet and discuss settlement until the date (the “Interim Decision Date”) that is the earliest to occur of the following events: (i) an agreement shall be reached by the Parties resolving the Dispute; (ii) one of the Parties shall determine and notify the other Parties in writing that no agreement resolving the Dispute is likely to be reached; (iii) if a technique of alternative dispute resolution is agreed upon, the completion date therefore shall occur without the Parties having resolved the Dispute; (iv) if another technique of alternative dispute resolution is not agreed upon, two full meeting days (or such other time period as may be agreed upon) shall expire without the Parties having resolved the Dispute or (v) 90 days after the date of the original notice.

Appendix B-1

(c) If, as of the Interim Decision Date, the Parties have not succeeded in negotiating a resolution of the Dispute pursuant to subsection (b), the Parties shall proceed under subsections (d), (e) and (f).

(d) After satisfying the requirements above, such Dispute shall be submitted to mandatory and binding arbitration at the election of any Party involved in the Dispute (the “Disputing Party”). The arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act as supplemented by the conditions set forth in this Appendix B. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect on the date the notice of arbitration is served, other than as specifically modified herein. In the absence of an agreement to the contrary, the arbitration shall be held in Washington, DC. The Arbitrators (as defined below) will allow reasonable discovery in the forms permitted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, to the extent consistent with the procedures established for the arbitration. During the pendency of the Dispute, each Party shall make available to the Arbitrators and the other Parties all books, records and other information within its possession and control requested by the other Parties or the Arbitrators subject to the confidentiality provisions contained herein. Recognizing the express desire of the Parties for an expeditious means of dispute resolution, the Arbitrators may limit the scope of discovery between the Parties as may be reasonable under the circumstances. In deciding the substance of the Parties’ claims, the laws of the State of Ohio shall govern the construction, interpretation and effect of this Agreement, without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles. The arbitration hearing shall be commenced promptly and conducted expeditiously, with each Party involved in the Dispute being allocated an equal amount of time for the presentation of its case. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, the arbitration hearing shall be conducted on consecutive days. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the arbitration proceedings and award shall be maintained in confidence by the Arbitrators and the Parties.

(e) The Disputing Party shall notify the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and the other Parties in writing describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Dispute (the “Dispute Notice”). Each Party to the dispute shall select one arbitrator (the “Selected Arbitrators”) within fifteen (15) days of the date of the Dispute Notice from the members of a national panel of arbitrators of the AAA. The Selected Arbitrators shall then jointly select a third arbitrator (together with the Selected Arbitrators, the “Arbitrators”) from the members of a panel of arbitrators of the AAA or, if the AAA fails or refuses to provide a list of potential arbitrators, of the Center for Public Resources, and such Arbitrator shall be experienced in commercial arbitration and the operation and management of commodity chemical businesses and industrial gases. In the event that the Selected Arbitrators are unable to agree on the selection of the third Arbitrator, the AAA shall select the third Arbitrator, using the criteria set forth in this Appendix B, within thirty (30) days of the date of the Dispute Notice. In the event that any Arbitrator is unable to serve, his or her replacement will be selected in the same manner as the Arbitrator to be replaced. The vote of two of the three Arbitrators shall be required for any decision under this Appendix B. During the pendency of the Dispute (i) all costs and expenses incurred by a Party in connection with the Dispute that are required to be paid shall be paid by the Party that incurs such cost and (ii) each Party shall pay an equal share of the costs and expenses of the Arbitrators; provided, however, that all costs and expenses (including the Arbitrators’ and attorneys’ fees and expenses) of the prevailing Party will be borne by the non-prevailing Party and the non-prevailing Party shall reimburse the prevailing Party for any costs it incurred during the pendency of the Dispute, provided that the award of the Arbitrators specifies (and the Arbitrators are hereby instructed and authorized to so specify if in their determination such specification is feasible) that a Party has prevailed with respect to a preponderance of the Disputes determined by the Arbitrators. If there is no specified prevailing Party, the Arbitrators shall have the authority and discretion to assess the costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding against all of the Parties as the Arbitrators deem appropriate although the Arbitrators shall not be required to do so.

Appendix B-2

(f) The Arbitrators shall decide all Disputes and all substantive and procedural issues related thereto, and shall enforce this Agreement in accordance with its terms, including the remedies provided in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the previous sentence, the Arbitrators shall have the authority to issue injunctive relief; however, the Arbitrators shall not have any power or authority to (i) award consequential, special, or indirect damages or (ii) amend this Agreement. The Arbitrators shall render the arbitration award, in writing, within twenty (20) days following the completion of the arbitration hearing, and shall set forth the reasons for the award. In the event that the Arbitrators award monetary damages in favor of either Party, the Arbitrators must certify in the award that no consequential, special or indirect damages have been awarded. If the Arbitrator’s decision results in a monetary award, the interest on such award shall accrue on the award at the Delinquency Rate, compounded quarterly, until such amount, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, are paid in full. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the Parties, and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction and may not be appealed, except to the extent permitted by the Federal Arbitration Act.

(g) If the issue of whether a breach of this Agreement or whether one of the Parties was entitled to exercise remedial rights is in Dispute, the non-prevailing Party shall have a commercially reasonable period of time to cure the default or circumstance before the prevailing Party shall be entitled to exercise such remedial rights; provided, however, that interest on any past due invoiced amounts will continue to accrue during such cure period. The Arbitrator shall include the time in which the non-prevailing Party must complete such cure in its award.

(3) Continuation of Business. Notwithstanding the existence of any Dispute or the pendency of any procedures pursuant to this Appendix B, the Parties agree and undertake that all payments shall continue to be made and that all obligations shall continue to be performed under the Agreement.

In consideration of one Party (the “Disclosing Party”) disclosing Confidential Information to another Party (the “Receiving Party”), each Party acknowledges that the Confidential Information which it receives will be treated as strictly confidential.

Confidential Information shall not include information that: (i) is by reasonable proof in the possession of the Receiving Party on or prior to the date of receipt; or (ii) is or becomes public knowledge other than by default on the part of the Receiving Party; or (iii) is lawfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party having no duty of confidence to the Disclosing Party in respect of the Confidential Information; or (iv) is developed independently by the Receiving Party without specific knowledge of disclosure as shown by tangible evidence; or (v) subject to the following paragraph, is required to be disclosed by law or rules of any stock exchange.

If and to the extent that after the foregoing notice and consultation, in the absence of a receipt of a waiver or agreement under this Confidentiality Agreement, the Requested Party or its representatives are, in the opinion of the Requested Party’s counsel, under an obligation to disclose Confidential Information or will risk being liable for contempt, suffer censure, incur a penalty or violate applicable laws or regulations in the event the Confidential Information is not so disclosed, the Requested Party and its representatives may disclose such Confidential Information without liability to the Other Party under this Confidentiality Agreement.

Appendix C-1

any manner so as to obtain any benefit, right or privilege for itself or for any other person that would not have been available but for it having access to the Confidential Information.

The Receiving Party shall not make any copies or reproductions of the Confidential Information without the written consent of the Disclosing Party, except that a Receiving Party may make copies for its Representatives on a need-to-know basis and then only provided that such persons are subject to confidentiality obligations at least as stringent as those contained in this Agreement. At the Disclosing Party’s request, the Receiving Party will immediately return all copies, notes, transcriptions and records of Confidential Information and erase all records of Confidential Information in any computer or like machine. The return of the Confidential Information will not diminish or otherwise affect any other obligations under this Agreement.

No right or license is conveyed or intended to be conveyed to the Receiving Party except for the limited right to use the Confidential Information for the Receiving Party’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

The confidentiality obligations set forth on this Appendix C and incorporated by reference into the Agreement shall extend for the term of the Agreement and for a period of five (5) years thereafter.

No Party makes any representation or warranty, express or implied as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information. Confidential Information is not intended to provide the sole basis for any decision and the Parties agree they must determine the relevance of the Confidential Information. In addition, no Party shall have any liability to the other Party (including without limitation liability for loss of profits, interest or use or other consequential, incidental, indirect or special damages) for any losses or damage suffered by another Party as a result of any use or reliance upon the Confidential Information of the former Party.

FORECASTS AND NOMINATING PROCEDURES FOR HYDROGEN

The following are general nominating procedures/guidelines established for Hydrogen and it is expected BOC and Sunoco will meet approximately six (6) months prior to Phase II to mutually agree upon more comprehensive guidelines and protocols which will establish the operating procedures and protocols between the Parties. These established procedures will be revised as required during the Supply Period.

1. Ten days prior to the last day of each month, Sunoco will provide its estimate of the Daily Nominating Rate outlining the demand for Hydrogen for the coming month.

2. At least 24 hours prior to each week (8 am Monday or as otherwise agreed), Sunoco will update its Daily Nomination Rate estimate to provide the demand for Hydrogen (expressed as instantaneous hourly flow rates) for that week.

3. In order to allow the BOC Facility to safely ramp up or down, as referenced below, based on Sunoco’s nomination of Hydrogen, Sunoco will give as much notice as is practicable (in such form as may be agreed by the Parties).

(a) If the BOC Facility is in cold condition, 38 hours for minimum Hydrogen production.

(b) If the BOC Facility is warm (i.e., reformer warm with correct process temperatures), 10 hours for minimum Hydrogen production.

(d) If the BOC Facility is running, 12 hours for Hydrogen demand to be reduced to zero.

BOC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate shorter periods of notice where possible.

Sunoco acknowledges and agrees that the Steam available from the BOC Facility is dependent on the Hydrogen production, and that the Steam available will vary according to the Steam production versus Hydrogen production curves provided by BOC.
