ARTICLE 5 LNG PLANT CAPACITY AND HOURS OF OPERATION

5.1                                 The LNG Plant will be designed to have and
will have the Capacity to produce a minimum of 50,000 GPD. However, initially,
the LNG Plant may produce fewer than 50,000 GPD due to insufficient electrical
power being available from Arizona Public Service Co. (“APS”), the electricity
provider to the LNG Plant.  Seller will make commercially reasonable efforts to
cause the LNG Plant to produce 50,000 GPD beginning on July 1, 2008, although it
shall not be in default of this Sales Agreement if its failure or inability to
do so is due to a lack of electrical power from APS.  In no event, however,
shall the LNG Plant produce fewer than 20,000 GPD during the period from July 1,
2008 to June 30, 2009.

5.2                                 On and after July 1, 2009, regardless of
available electric power supplied by APS, the LNG Plant will produce a minimum
of 50,000 GPD.

5.3                                 Prior to the Start-Up Date, Seller will
provide prompt written notice to Buyer of anticipated changes in Plant Capacity
and keep Buyer promptly apprised of issues it is dealing with regarding Plant
Capacity and power availability. After the Start Up Date of the LNG Plant, Plant
Capacity will be determined by demonstration over a 24-hour period pursuant to
the procedure described in Article 5.4 below. Prior to Start Up Date, Plant
Capacity will be determined by thermodynamic modeling.

5.4                                 Seller will arrange for a Plant Capacity
test and provide Buyer five (5) Business Days prior written notice of the test
to enable Buyer to be present, the first of which shall occur within three (3)
months after Plant startup.  Subsequent tests can be requested by Buyer and will
be performed within 10 days of the request.  To administer the test, Seller will
operate the Plant in a normal mode over a seventy-two (72) hour period during
which Plant production will be recorded every twelve (12) hours. The Plant
Capacity will be determined by taking the average hourly production over the
72-hour period and multiplying the hourly average by 24.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

                                                Subsequent changes in Plant
Capacity will be calculated the same way as the initial Plant Capacity test.

5.5                                 Buyer and Seller shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to regulate the Delivery in quantities, at times and in a
manner that prevents LNG stored at the LNG Plant from exceeding 100,000 Gallons
at any time.

5.6                                 Seller will use commercially reasonable
efforts to regulate its production schedule so that LNG produced by the LNG
Plant will be available for Delivery at as much of a uniform rate of flow as is
practicable.

5.7                                 Subject to Seller Shut Downs, the LNG Plant
shall be operational 24 hours per Day and Buyer may take Delivery at any time
during the time the LNG Plant is operating.

ARTICLE 6 QUALITY OF LNG

6.1                                 The LNG Delivered at the Delivery Point
hereunder, shall:

(a)                                  be free of solids, sand, salt, dust, gums,
crude oil, and other objectionable substances which may be injurious to
facilities and systems designed for LNG use;

(b)                                 contain not more than one mole percent (1%)
of ethane;

(c)                                  contain at least ninety-seven mole percent
(97%) of methane;

(d)                                 contain not more than three mole percent
(3%) of nitrogen;

(e)                                  when delivered to the loading pumps, the
LNG will have a saturation pressure not to exceed 15 PSIG; and

(f)                                    be free of odor.

ARTICLE 7 DELIVERY POINT

7.1                                 Delivery of LNG purchased by Buyer hereunder
from Seller shall be made at the Delivery Point.  As part of Seller’s obligation
to construct the LNG Plant, Seller, at its cost, will install facilities
sufficient to enable Buyer’s personnel to operate and pump LNG into Buyer’s LNG
trailers.

ARTICLE 8 MEASUREMENT

8.1                                 The unit of measurement for LNG delivered
under this Sales Agreement shall be one Gallon of LNG. Unless otherwise stated,
all quantities given herein are in terms of such unit. For the purposes of this
Sales Agreement, each such Gallon shall weigh 3.55 Pounds until actual LNG
produced from the Plant is analyzed to determine the composition and the weight
of one US Gallon. The computations used to determine the actual weight in Pounds
per Gallon and Gallons per MMBTU will be performed by CHI Engineering Co. or
another third party engineering firm mutually agreed upon using Gas Processors
and Suppliers Association (GPSA) standards.

8.2                                 Seller shall calibrate its truck scale on an
annual basis. If either Party, at any time, desires a special test of the scale,
it will promptly notify the other Party, and the Parties will then cooperate to
secure a calibration test and a joint observation of any adjustments, if such
adjustments are necessary. If the scale is accurate upon calibration to within
2%, the Party who requested the test will pay for the calibration test. If, upon
calibration, the scale equipment is found to be inaccurate by two percent (2%)
or more, Seller shall pay the cost of the test and registrations thereof shall
be corrected at the rate of such inaccuracy for any period which is definitely
known and agreed upon, but in the case the period is not definitely known and
agreed upon, then for a period extending back one half (1/2) of the time elapsed
since the last date of

 

[***]                   Confidential portions of this document have been
redacted and filed separately with the Commission.

 

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

                                                calibration or 3 months
whichever is shorter. The amount of inaccuracy, if over 2%, will be invoiced or
credited to the appropriate Party within 10 days. Following any test, scale
equipment found inaccurate shall immediately be restored as closely as possible
to a condition of accuracy. If, for any reason, the scale is out of service or
out of repair so that the amount of LNG delivered cannot be ascertained or
computed from the reading thereof, the LNG delivered during the period such
scales are out of service, or out of repair, shall be transported to an agreed
upon alternative truck scale.

8.3                                 Seller’s scale shall be of sufficient
quality to be approved and certified by the local governmental agency having
jurisdiction over weights and measures.  Seller will provide detailed
information to Buyer about the scale prior to acquiring the scale for
installation into the LNG Plant and provide Buyer with the option of paying
Seller to upgrade the scale to a model preferred by Buyer that can weigh
individual truck axle groupings as well as total truck weights.  Seller will
provide Buyer seven (7) days to determine if it wishes to pay for such an
upgrade.  In the event Buyer elects to pay for said upgrade, it will become the
property of Seller.

8.4                                 Buyer anticipates that it will be able to
recover LNG vapors from its LNG trailers upon their arrival at the LNG Plant for
delivery.  Buyer and Seller will cooperate in developing a method of
transferring such vapor to the LNG Plant and measuring the volume of LNG derived
from such vapor recovery, for which volume Buyer shall receive a credit against
Buyer’s payments to Seller under Article 15.1.

ARTICLE 9 SELLER’S SHUT DOWN

9.1                                 The LNG Plant is engineered to operate 345
Days per year. Seller will provide Buyer with at least one Month advance notice
in writing of any planned Seller’s Shut Down in any Month.  Buyer will provide
Seller with its preferred schedule for Delivery at the Delivery Point.  Buyer
acknowledges that there will only be one (1) loading rack and scale at the LNG
Plant and that it will thus not be possible to load multiple trucks
simultaneously and agrees to take such fact into account in developing its LNG
Delivery schedules. The Parties will cooperate to make the scheduled Seller’s
Shut Downs coincide with times that are as convenient as practicable for Buyer.

9.2                                 In the event of an unscheduled Seller’s Shut
Down due to mechanical problems, interruption in electricity supply or Natural
Gas supply or any Force Majeure condition, Seller will immediately notify Buyer
of the circumstances, and provide sufficient details to Buyer. Seller will keep
Buyer promptly apprised of any change in status of Seller’s Shut Down.

9.3                                 In the event that for any reason, other than
a Default by Buyer or Seller’s Shut Down not exceeding ten (10) Days, Seller is
unable or unwilling to operate the LNG Plant, Buyer shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to operate the LNG Plant as an independent contractor, until
such time as Seller is able or willing, as the case may be, to operate the LNG
Plant.  In such event, Buyer shall be entitled to reimbursement of its
reasonable costs of operating the LNG Plant, which reimbursement shall be by way
of offset against Buyer’s payments to Seller under Article 15.

ARTICLE 10 BUYER’S SHUT DOWN

10.1                           In the event that Buyer, for whatever reason(s),
other than Force Majeure, elects not to take LNG from the Plant or to take less
than Plant Capacity for a prolonged period, Buyer will give as much advance
written notice to Seller as reasonably possible under the circumstances of its
intention to discontinue taking LNG from the Plant or to take less than Plant
Capacity, and the anticipated duration of discontinuance or reduction.  Buyer
will be responsible for taking away any remaining LNG product stored at the
Plant.  Under these circumstances Buyer shall be subject to its Take or Pay
Monthly Quantity pursuant to Article 16 below.

 

[***]                   Confidential portions of this document have been
redacted and filed separately with the Commission.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

ARTICLE 11 PRICE

11.1                           Subject to all of the terms and conditions of
this Sales Agreement, Buyer shall pay Seller the sum of (1) the Monthly
Liquefaction Charge, (2) the Gas Cost of the natural gas purchased in accordance
with Article 13, and (3) the Energy Charge to produce the LNG, as defined in
Article 14.

ARTICLE 12 MONTHLY LIQUEFACTION CHARGE

12.1                           The initial liquefaction fee is [***] per Gallon
of LNG Delivered to Buyer (the “Liquefaction Fee”).  The “Monthly Liquefaction
Charge” shall mean the Liquefaction Fee times the number of Gallons delivered to
Buyer during a Month.

12.2                           On January 1, 2009 and on January 1st of each
subsequent year during the Term of this Sales Agreement (each, an “Adjustment
Date”), the Liquefaction Fee shall be subject to an annual adjustment. The
annual adjustment shall be equal to the percentage change, upward or downward,
in [***] (the “Index”), during the one-year period ending on the applicable
Adjustment Date; provided, however, in no event shall any such annual adjustment
exceed [***] and in no event shall the Liquefaction Fee be less than the amount
specified in Article 12.1. For example, the first such adjustment shall be
effective as of January 1, 2009 based on the change in the Index from January 1,
2008 through January 1, 2009 as described above and subject to the foregoing
limitations.

ARTICLE 13 GAS COST

13.1                           Seller shall make arrangements for the purchase
of Feedstock Gas for the Plant. Seller will propose its preferred method of
purchasing the Feedstock Gas to Buyer including, without limitation, how it will
be priced and any other terms associated with acquiring the Feedstock Gas. 
Buyer will be provided with a thirty (30) day period within which to object to
the purchase method and propose an alternative.  In such event, the Parties
shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon the Feedstock Gas purchase method to
be implemented and used by Buyer that will provide the quantities of Feedstock
Gas needed by Seller to satisfy its obligations under this Sales Agreement at
the lowest total cost practicable.  In the absence of any objection and proposed
alternative by Buyer within such 30-day period, Seller will execute the purchase
arrangements proposed as Seller’s preferred method and Buyer will reimburse
Seller for the cost of purchased Feedstock Gas.  In the event the parties cannot
agree upon the purchase method, Buyer shall be responsible for obtaining at its
sole cost and expense Feedstock Gas for the LNG Plant and for delivering the
same thereto in sufficient quantities to allow Seller to satisfy its obligations
under this Sales Agreement in accordance with and subject to Article 13.2
below.  Unless Buyer pays the supplier of the Feedstock Gas, the quantity of
purchased Feedstock Gas for which Seller will be reimbursed will be determined
by the weights from the scale readings used to calculate the LNG sales volume
and shall exclude any Feedstock Gas that is lost or combusted in the LNG
production process. The costs to be reimbursed shall include not only the cost
for the volume of Feedstock Gas converted to LNG as described above, but also
the transportation costs, metering and blending charges and all other costs
associated with purchasing the Feedstock Gas and having it delivered to the LNG
Plant (said cost of Feedstock Gas and such other costs collectively, the “Gas
Cost”).  In the event of a Take or Pay situation based on a Buyer’s Shut Down,
the Gas Cost will also include any penalty, take or pay charges, transportation
charges and/or other fees or charges Seller has to pay for not taking the
Feedstock Gas.

13.2                           In the event Buyer wishes to make its own
arrangements for Natural Gas deliveries to the LNG Plant and pay directly for
this Natural Gas supply, it shall provide Seller with no less than sixty (60)
days prior written notice of its intent to do so.  As part of such notice, Buyer
will propose to Seller its preferred method of purchasing the Gas, how it will
be priced and delivered to the Plant, and any other terms associated with
acquiring the Gas.  Seller will have a thirty (30) day period to object to the
purchase method if it believes that the proposed arrangement will adversely
affect its ability to perform its obligations under this Sales Agreement.  In
such event,

 

[***]                   Confidential portions of this document have been
redacted and filed separately with the Commission.

 

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

                                                the Parties shall negotiate in
good faith to agree upon the Natural Gas purchase arrangement to be entered into
by Buyer that will provide the quantities of Natural Gas needed by Seller to
satisfy its obligations under this Sales Agreement.  In the absence of any
objection by Seller within such 30-day period, Buyer shall execute the purchase
arrangements proposed and give written notice to Seller of the date on which the
new arrangement will be implemented so that Seller may cancel Seller’s existing
purchase agreements.  Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any gas consumed in the
LNG production process at a price not to exceed Buyer’s supply Gas Cost.  Any
early termination penalties or other costs that Seller may incur due to its
cancellation of gas purchase agreements or other arrangements and substitution
of Buyer’s new arrangement will be reimbursed by Buyer within thirty (30)
calendar days after Seller’s invoice(s) therefore. If Buyer elects to supply
Natural Gas pursuant to this Article, Buyer will arrange for and pay directly
for all transportation, metering and blending charges and other gas acquisition
costs associated with said volume of Natural Gas, and Buyer will indemnify and
hold Seller harmless from any and all claims, losses, liability, costs or
expenses associated with the supply of Gas to the Plant unless attributed to the
Seller or to a Force Majeure.  In the event of a Seller’s Shut Down, Seller will
indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from any and all claims, losses, liability,
costs or expenses associated with the supply of Gas to the Plant including any
penalty, take or pay charges, transportation charges and/or other fees or
charges Buyer has to pay for not taking the Natural Gas unless due to a Force
Majeure event.

ARTICLE 14 ENERGY CHARGE

14.1                           In addition to the other charges payable by Buyer
to Seller under this Sales Agreement, Buyer shall pay to Seller an Energy Charge
on a monthly basis.  The method used to calculate the amount of the Energy
Charge will be identical to the method used by Arizona Public Service Company
(APS) as if APS had delivered the “Allowed Power” during the subject month.

14.2                           The Allowed Power has two components: (1) the
quantity of power delivered measured in kilowatt hours (kwh), which will be
calculated by multiplying the Gallons delivered in the subject month by [***]
and (2) the monthly power demand as measured in kilowatts (kw), which shall be
determined by multiplying [***] for the subject month by [***].  For the
purposes of calculating the monthly power demand, Plant Capacity will not exceed
50,000 Gallons per day without Buyers prior written approval.

14.3                           The Energy Charge will be calculated by
multiplying each of the respective Allowed Power components, as calculated in
accordance with Article 14.2, by the applicable rates for Transmission Service
contained in Arizona Public Service Company’s (APS) Rate Schedule [***], or as
amended from time to time and approved by the Arizona Corporation Commission or
its successor, and the Energy Charge will also include all other adjustments,
assessments, charges and taxes that APS is required to charge its customers
under the Transmission Service contained in its Rate Schedule [***] or, as
amended from time to time and approved by the Arizona Corporation Commission or
its successor..

14.4                           If APS changes its demand charge structures, then
both Parties will negotiate a new Energy Charge in a manner that is consistent
with Article 14.1.

ARTICLE 15 BILLING AND PAYMENT

15.1                           On or before the 15th day of each Month, Seller
shall render to Buyer an invoice showing the number of Gallons of LNG delivered
to Buyer at the Delivery Point during the preceding calendar Month and the
amount due to Seller according to the measurement, terms, conditions and price
herein provided. The invoice will separately identify and include the number of
delivered Gallons, Take or Pay Gallons, if any, Monthly Liquefaction Charge, Gas
Cost, Energy Charge for the previous Month, and Conditioning Fees, if any. In
the case of the Energy Charge, information in the invoice will include the
current published APS rates applicable to the respective month.  Buyer will
provide Seller with the form Buyer desires Seller to use in generating the
invoice prior to the start up of the LNG Plant.

15.2                           In the event Buyer supplies the Natural Gas to
the Plant in accordance with Article 13.2, Buyer  shall invoice Seller for the
difference between what Buyer was charged for the Natural Gas and the quantity
of Natural Gas condensed into LNG and Delivered for the subject month.  Seller
shall pay the invoice in accordance with Article 15.4.

15.3                           Seller will install an enclosed, air conditioned
room that will be close to the truck loading facility so that Buyer can install
point of sale systems that will produce a bill of lading for each load of LNG
Delivered.  Seller will provide scale weight indicators and data so Buyer may
interface it with Buyer’s systems.  Seller will provide composition of the LNG
to be loaded so Buyer’s system can also utilize this data.  Seller shall provide
Buyer with loading controls such that Buyer’s system will have to authorize any
and all Deliveries.  Buyer’s system will produce a duplicate bill of lading for
each Delivery that will be kept by Seller at the LNG Plant for a period of 24
months.

15.4                           All invoices will be paid within thirty (30)
calendar days of the invoice date by electronic funds transfer to invoicing
Party’s bank account the amount as shown on the above mentioned invoice. In the
event either Party disputes any portion of the amount on the invoice, said Party
shall pay those amounts not in dispute and notify the other Party in writing of
the details associated with the disputed amount no later than fifteen (15) days
after the invoice date.

15.5                           In the event an error is discovered in the amount
shown to be due in any invoice such error shall be adjusted without interest or
penalty as soon as reasonably possible; provided, however, any invoice shall be
final as to both Parties unless written notice of an error in such invoice is
given by a Party to the other Party within one (1) year after payment therefore
has been made. Such notice shall be effective when received by the Party to
which such notice is sent.

15.6                           In the event a Party fails to pay all of the
amount of any invoice, as set forth in Articles 15.1, 15.2, and 15.4 above, upon
written notice from the invoicing Party to the other Party, the other Party
shall have ten (10) days to cure the Default condition.  Upon the other Party’s
failure to cure the Default condition, the invoicing Party shall have the right
to (a) require payment in advance of each Delivery, or (b) withhold and set off
payment of any amounts of monies due or owing by Seller to Buyer, whether in
conjunction with this Sales Agreement or otherwise, against any and all amounts
due or owing by Buyer to Seller under this Sales Agreement, or (c) suspend or
discontinue services until such amount is paid, or (d) terminate this Sales
Agreement. In addition, in the event an invoice is not paid within the time set
forth in Article 15.4, the undisputed invoice balance will accrue a late fee of
one percent (1%) of the undisputed balance for each month payment is late. The
exercise by the invoicing Party of any of these options shall not preclude the
invoicing Party from pursuing any other available remedy in equity or at law.
The prevailing Party shall be entitled to claim recovery pursuant to Article
33.2.

15.7                           Seller and Buyer shall each preserve all records
pertaining to this Sales Agreement, including all test and measurement data and
charts, and all test equipment calibration records for a period of at least two
(2) years, or longer as shall be required under law or regulation.  Each Party,
or its designated representative shall have access to the books and records of
the other Party upon reasonable notice during regular business hours to the
extent such records are applicable to the quality, measurement, billing, pricing
and quantities of LNG delivered hereunder.

ARTICLE 16 TAKE OR PAY

16.1                           It is recognized that (a) Seller is making a
considerable financial investment in the capital cost of the LNG Plant and a
financial return is required and Seller is relying solely on Buyer’s commitments
and obligations under this Sales Agreement for such return and that Seller is
granting an exclusive marketing arrangement to Buyer pursuant to this Sales
Agreement; (b)

                                                Seller would not undertake the
cost of building the LNG Plant were it not for Buyer’s agreement as set forth
herein to agree to purchase the entire Plant Capacity.  Therefore, Buyer agrees
to pay Seller for the Take or Pay Monthly Quantity regardless of Buyer’s ability
to take Delivery of the Take or Pay Monthly Quantity of LNG and thus, the Market
Risk is fully assumed by Buyer by its execution of this Sales Agreement.  In the
event Buyer for any reason, other than Force Majeure, fails to take delivery of
the Take or Pay Monthly Quantity of LNG from Seller, where the Plant Capacity
was available to be taken, Buyer will pay Seller an amount equal to (1) the
Liquefaction Fee multiplied by the Take or Pay Monthly Quantity, (2) the actual
demand charge and other fixed, monthly charges from APS, and (3) any unavoidable
Gas Costs related to the shortfall of LNG gallons taken below the Take or Pay
Monthly Quantity.  Buyer agrees that the Take or Pay Monthly Quantity for each
Month shall be equal to the number of days in such Month multiplied by 45,000
GPD (the “Take or Pay Monthly Quantity”).  By way of example, if a particular
Month contains thirty (30) days, the Take or Pay Monthly Quantity for such Month
would be (30 days X 45,000 GPD) or 1,350,000 Gallons.  Take or Pay shall apply
when the LNG Plant is not experiencing a Seller’s Shut Down, and the Plant
Capacity is available to produce LNG and Buyer does not take Delivery of its
Take or Pay Monthly Quantity for reasons other than a Force Majeure, Buyer must
pay Seller as if Buyer had taken Delivery of the Take or Pay Monthly Quantity of
LNG, subject to the provisions of this Article 16.

16.2                           Notwithstanding Article 16.1 above, at times when
the quality of LNG delivered by Seller does not meet the specifications set
forth in Article 6, Buyer shall only be required to purchase and take delivery
of fifty percent (50%) of the Take or Pay Monthly Quantity during such period,
but in no case shall Buyer be required to take Delivery of LNG that is less than
92 mole percent methane and not more than 4 mole percent ethane but otherwise
meets the specifications listed in Article 6.  In such event, Seller shall have
the right to sell the quantities of the off specification LNG not purchased by
Buyer to others. Buyer agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to
market all of the Plant Capacity during such upset periods and Seller agrees to
use  commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the composition issue and
deliver LNG meeting the specifications set forth in Article 6.1 as soon as
practicable.  Both Parties recognize that the composition of the Feedstock Gas
might vary from time to time and there is a remote chance that the Feedstock Gas
may be too ethane rich for the Plant to remove it to less than the one mole
percent (1%) level.

16.3                           Notwithstanding Article 16.1 above, in the event
of a Seller’s Shut Down, Buyer is relieved from any Take or Pay liability during
the actual period of the Seller’s Shut Down or a Force Majeure event and during
the first twenty-four (24) hours after the LNG Plant is restarted.

16.4                           In the event that the Plant Capacity is less than
50,000 GPD as determined in accordance with Article 5.4 or as agreed to by the
Parties, the Take or Pay Quantity of 45,000 GPD in Article 16.1 will be reduced
on a pro rata basis.

ARTICLE 17 EXCLUSIVITY

17.1                           Seller is constructing the LNG Plant for the
purpose of dedicating to Buyer all of the Plant’s Capacity for the term of the
Sales Agreement and, subject to exceptions set forth in this Sales Agreement,
that it will sell all LNG produced at the Plant to Buyer pursuant and subject to
the terms and conditions of this Sales Agreement. Buyer agrees to purchase all
of the Plant’s LNG production, not to exceed 45,000 GPD. As such, it is agreed
that no LNG will be marketed from this Plant to other parties without the
express written permission of Buyer, except as otherwise provided in this Sales
Agreement and unless Buyer is in Default. In the event of a Default, as defined
in Article 18, by Buyer, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
sell LNG to others.

17.2                           Upon execution of this Sales Agreement, Seller
will advise other entities with which it has communicated within the ninety (90)
days preceding the Effective Date regarding the sale of LNG by the LNG Plant,
that Seller has entered into an exclusive arrangement for the sale of

redacted and filed separately with the Commission.

 

 

10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

                                                LNG to Buyer and at Buyer’s
option, will advise those entities of Buyer’s identity so they may contact Buyer
if interested in purchasing LNG. Except as otherwise permitted pursuant to the
terms of this Sales Agreement, Seller will make no further marketing efforts
other than during the 180 day period prior to the expiration of this Sales
Agreement, in the event notice is given by either Party not to extend the term
of this Sales Agreement as provided in Article 2.1 above.

ARTICLE 18 DEFAULT

18.1                           Seller’s rights upon a payment default by Buyer
are set forth in Article 15 above.  Subject to Article 15 and notwithstanding
any other provision herein, a Party to this Sales Agreement (the “Defaulting
Party”) shall be in default of this Sales Agreement if the Defaulting Party
shall (a) default in the payment or performance of any material obligation to
the Party not in default (the “Non-defaulting Party”) under this Sales
Agreement, and such default shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice of
such default from the Non-defaulting Party to the Defaulting Party (or such
longer period if such default cannot be cured within such 30-day period provided
that the Defaulting Party promptly commences curing within such 30-day period
and thereafter pursues the same with due diligence until completion); (b) file a
petition or otherwise commence or authorize the commencement of a proceeding or
case under any bankruptcy, reorganization, or similar law for the protection of
creditors or have any such petition filed or proceeding commenced against it;
(c) otherwise become bankrupt or insolvent (however evidenced); (d) be unable to
pay its debts as they fall due by acceleration or otherwise; or (e) fails to
give adequate security for, or assurance of, its ability to perform its
obligations hereunder within ten (10) days of a reasonable request therefore
from the Non-defaulting Party (each a “Default”).

18.2                           Upon the occurrence of a Default described above,
and for so long as such Default is continuing, the Non-defaulting Party shall,
in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Non-defaulting
Party set forth elsewhere in this Sales Agreement, shall have the right to
exercise any and all rights and remedies available under applicable law.

18.3                           This Article 18 shall be without prejudice and in
addition to any right of termination, setoff, combination of accounts, lien, or
other right to which  the Non-defaulting Party is at any time otherwise entitled
(whether by operation of law, contract, or otherwise).

ARTICLE 19 LAWS

19.1                           This Sales Agreement shall be subject to, and
each Party shall perform its obligations hereunder in compliance with, all valid
and applicable laws, orders, rules and regulations made by duly constituted
governmental authorities. The interpretation and performance of this Sales
Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Texas, excluding any conflict of law principles which may apply to the
laws of another jurisdiction.

ARTICLE 20 LIABILITY AND WARRANTIES

20.1                           Buyer’s Liability for Possession and Control of
LNG. As between Buyer and Seller hereto, Buyer shall be deemed to have title to
and be in control and possession of all LNG delivered by Seller under this Sales
Agreement upon Delivery thereof by Seller to Buyer at the Delivery Point.  From
and after such delivery at the Delivery Point, Buyer will be fully responsible
and liable for any and all LNG loss, damages, injuries, claims, actions,
expenses and liabilities, including reasonable attorney’s fees caused or
resulting from Buyer’s handling, transportation and sale of LNG following
Delivery and Buyer shall release, indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless
from and against any and all claims, suits, judgments, damages, losses,
liability and expenses on account of the foregoing matters for which Buyer is
responsible.

20.2                           Seller’s Liability for possession and Control of
Natural Gas and/or LNG. As between Seller and Buyer hereto, Seller shall have
title and/or custody to and be in control and possession of any Natural Gas
and/or LNG from and after the time such Natural Gas is received at the Plant and
until the LNG is Delivered to Buyer at the Delivery Point.  Until Delivery at
the Delivery Point, Seller will be fully responsible and liable for any and all
Natural Gas and/or LNG loss, damages,

20.5                           Warranty of Title. Seller warrants that it will,
at the time of Delivery of LNG hereunder, deliver said LNG free and clear of all
liens, encumbrances, and claims whatsoever, except for Seller’s rights to
receive payment therefore pursuant to this Sales Agreement and except to the
extent caused by Buyer’s purchases of Natural Gas for the Plant pursuant to the
terms of this Sales Agreement. Except as set forth in this Article, Seller shall
indemnify, save, and hold Buyer, its subsidiaries and/or affiliates, and their
directors, officers, employees, and agents, free and harmless from all suits,
actions, debts, accounts, damages, costs, losses, and expenses, including
reasonable attorney’s fees, arising from or out of a breach of the warranty
contained in this Article 20.5.

20.6                           Disclaimer of Warranties. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY
SET FORTH IN THIS SALES AGREEMENT, SELLER MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER WARRANTIES,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WITH RESPECT TO THE LNG PLANT OR LNG
PRODUCED AND SOLD PURSUANT TO THIS SALES AGREEMENT OR AS TO ANY OTHER MATTER,
ALL OF WHICH ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED.  UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL SELLER, ITS
OFFICERS, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, PRINCIPALS, PARENT OR AFFILIATE BE LIABLE FOR ANY
DAMAGE TO ANY EQUIPMENT WHICH SHALL BE OPERATED USING THE LNG PROVIDED

Indemnifying Party or the Indemnifying Parties employees, contractors, agents or
invitees.

ARTICLE 21 TAXES

21.1                           None of the fees or charges set forth and
described in this Sales Agreement shall be deemed to include any tax. Buyer
shall bear sole responsibility and liability for payment of any taxes associated
with the purchase, transportation, use, sale or resale of LNG. If Seller is
required to pay any tax (other than income tax, property tax, or normal
enterprise taxes), Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller for same upon Seller’s
demand, in addition to the other fees and charges provided for in this Sales
Agreement. Where applicable, Seller agrees to take receipt of such tax and
process same with the appropriate tax authority. Buyer shall be required to
provide Seller with proof, satisfactory to the appropriate tax authority, of any
and all tax exemptions Buyer may claim, Buyer shall provide Seller with all

regarding Buyer’s disposition of all LNG delivered hereunder. [***].

ARTICLE 22 FORCE MAJEURE

22.1                           Neither Seller nor Buyer shall be liable to the
other for failure, whether in whole or in part to perform or comply with any
obligation or condition of this Sales Agreement caused by an event of force
majeure which, for purposes of this Sales Agreement shall include, without
limitation blockades; embargoes; insurrections; riots; epidemics; flood;
washouts; landslides; mudslides; earthquakes; extreme cold or freezing weather;
lightning, civil disturbances; failure to prevent or settle any strike; fire;
explosions; breakdown or failure or accident to machinery, method of transport
or line of pipe, or the order of any court or governmental authority having
jurisdiction, war; acts of the public enemy; terrorism; espionage; nuclear
disaster; act of God; fire; severe weather; earthquakes; floods; material
shortage or unavailability at reasonable cost not resulting from the failing
Party’s failure to timely place orders or take other necessary actions
therefore; inability or delay in obtaining governmental permits; government
codes, ordinances, laws, rules, regulations, or restrictions; or any other
cause, whether similar or dissimilar to those above mentioned (excluding,
however, any obligation to make payments of monies due hereunder), which is
beyond the reasonable control of the Party claiming relief under this provision
and which by the exercise of due diligence such Party is unable to prevent or
overcome (each, a “Force Majeure Event”). The settlement of strikes and lockouts
shall be entirely within the discretion of the Party experiencing the same.

22.2                           Force Majeure Events shall not relieve a party of
liability to the extent such causes are the result of the negligence of such
Party or in the event of its failure to use all commercially reasonable efforts
to remedy the situation, nor shall such causes or contingencies affecting such
performance relieve either Party from its obligations to make payments of
amounts then due in respect of Feedstock Gas and/or LNG already delivered. For
the avoidance of doubt, should Seller’s provision of services or supply of LNG
depend in whole or in part upon production from a Plant which is damaged or
destroyed, Seller shall not be obliged to repair or rebuild such Plant in order
to fulfill the terms of this Sales Agreement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

22.3                           A Party claiming relief under this Article 22
shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of the event preventing its
performance stating facts supporting such claim of inability to perform. 
Thereupon, the obligation to deliver or receive the quantities so affected shall
be suspended during the continuation of an inability so caused, but for no
longer period, this Sales Agreement shall otherwise remain unaffected.

ARTICLE 23 ASSIGNMENT

23.1                           Either Party may assign or otherwise convey any
of its rights, titles, or interests under this Sales Agreement to an affiliate
of such party or joint venture in which the assigning Party owns a 100% equity
interest, without prior approval, but with notice to the other Party; provided
that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of its obligations
under this Sales Agreement. Either Party may assign or otherwise convey any of
its rights, titles or interests to any third party provided it has obtained the
prior written consent of the other Party hereto, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, however, Buyer may unreasonably
withhold approval of any sale or transfer to any person or business previously
or currently in the natural gas vehicle industry.  No assignment of this Sales
Agreement by Buyer shall release Buyer or any guarantor from liability under
this Sales Agreement unless the assignee’s and any replacement guarantor possess
creditworthiness acceptable to Seller, as determined in Seller’s sole and
absolute discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations set forth
in Article 29 shall run with the LNG Plant and the land upon which it is
situated and be the obligation of the party owning the LNG Plant.

23.2                           Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 23.1,
any assignment to a tribe of American indians or any affiliate thereof, shall be
subject to and conditioned upon the receipt by Buyer of a waiver of sovereign
immunity substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

ARTICLE 24 SEVERABILITY

24.1                           Should any section, paragraph, subparagraph, or
other portion of this Sales Agreement be found invalid or be required to be
modified by a court or government agency having jurisdiction, then only that
portion of this Sales Agreement shall be invalid or modified.

                                                The remainder of this Sales
Agreement which is still valid and unaffected shall remain in force. If the
absence of the part that is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, or
modification of the part to be modified, substantially deprives a Party of the
economic benefit of this Sales Agreement, the Parties shall negotiate reasonable
and valid provisions to restore the economic benefit to the Party deprived or to
balance the Parties’ obligations consistent with the intent reflected in this
Sales Agreement. If the Parties are unable to do so, either Party may terminate
this Sales Agreement by giving the other Party notice of termination not later
than sixty (60) days after the effective date of the order, rule, or regulation
so affecting this Sales Agreement. Seller shall also have the right to terminate
this Sales Agreement as provided above in the event either the services
performed by Seller, or facilities utilized by Seller become subject to
regulation which substantially deprives Seller of the economic benefit of this
Sales Agreement.

ARTICLE 25 NOTICES

25.1                           Any notice, request, demand, statement, invoice
or payment provided for in this Sales Agreement or any notice which a Party may
desire to give to the other shall be in writing and shall be, except as
otherwise specifically set forth herein, considered as duly delivered (i) as of

                                                Sales Agreement as an exhibit to
a filing by the parent of Buyer with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

27.2                           Information will not be deemed Confidential
Information if it (i) is or becomes publicly available other than through the
actions of the receiving Party; (ii) was previously known to or is independently
developed by the receiving Party free of any obligation to keep it confidential;
or (iii) was previously disclosed or becomes available to the receiving Party
without restriction from a third party whose disclosure did not or does not
violate any confidentiality obligation.  Seller acknowledges that Buyer owns and
operates a plant that produces liquefied natural gas and is familiar with all
aspects of the production of LNG.  A Party shall be excused from these
nondisclosure provisions if the disclosure is required by law, rule, regulations
or governmental authority or to the extent required for a Party to undertake or
defend an action brought by one Party in court to enforce the terms of this
Sales Agreement against the other Party.  In the event that a Party is requested
or required by law, rule, regulation or governmental authority or court to
disclose any Confidential Information of the other Party, it is agreed that it

appropriate protective order may be sought by the affected Party. It is
understood that the Party requesting a protective order shall bear all costs
related thereto.

releases, or public statements without the prior written approval of the other
party, unless the information has already been made public by the other party,
except as is required by the Party or its parent or other Affiliate to comply
with federal or state securities laws.  Neither Party shall publish or use any
advertising, sales promotions or other publicity materials that use the other
Party’s logo, trademarks or service marks without the prior written approval of
the other Party, which may be withheld in a Party’s sole discretion.

ARTICLE 28 WAIVER

28.1                           The failure of Seller or Buyer at any time to
require performance by the other Party of any provision hereof shall in no way
affect the right of either Party to require any performance which may be due
thereafter pursuant to such provision, nor shall the waiver by Buyer or Seller
of any breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of any
subsequent breach of such provision.

ARTICLE 29 MISCELLANEOUS

29.1                           Conditioning Fee. Buyer shall pay Seller a
conditioning fee to take Delivery with a Warm Trailer. Such fee shall be equal
to [***] per Delivery into a Warm Trailer (the “Conditioning Fee”).  As used
herein, “Warm Trailer” means an LNG trailer that is warmer than minus 230
degrees Fahrenheit (-230°F).

29.2                           Delivery into a Warm Trailer. Buyer shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to bring each LNG trailer to the Delivery Point
with the temperature inside its LNG storage tank(s) not greater than -230
degrees F.  When Buyer desires to take Delivery of LNG with a Warm Trailer,
Buyer shall contact Seller to agree on a date and time when Buyer shall take
such Delivery. In the event that Buyer arrives at the Delivery Point to take
Delivery of LNG with a Warm Trailer without Seller having agreed on a date and
time for such Delivery, Seller will arrange Delivery as soon as Seller
determines that it can accommodate such Delivery. Seller shall require Buyer to
pay Seller the Conditioning Fee set forth in this Sales Agreement to take
Delivery with a Warm Trailer. Seller shall not be liable for any damage that may
occur as a result of the Delivery of LNG into a Warm Trailer.

29.3                           Personal Protective Equipment. Buyer shall ensure
that, prior to taking Delivery, all truck operator(s) shall have been provided
appropriate personal protective equipment, including, but

                                                not limited to, flame retardant
clothing fully covering the arms, legs and torso, sturdy leather work shoes (not
athletic type), apron, hard hat, gloves, splash-proof safety goggles, and facial
shield. Buyer shall ensure that, while inside the Plant, including the Delivery
point area, the truck operator(s) shall at all times, wear such personal
protective equipment and comply with Seller’s Plant safety requirements. While
Seller reserves the right to deny Delivery to any person observed not using all
appropriate personal protective equipment, Seller has no obligation to observe
or ensure that all appropriate personal protective equipment is used.

29.4                           Training. Buyer shall ensure that all truck
operator(s) have received instruction in Seller’s truck loading procedures prior
to taking Delivery of LNG at Plant. Buyer shall provide no less than one (1)
Business Day notice of the arrival of any truck operator(s) that shall require
such instruction. Plant personnel shall endeavor to provide instruction in a
timely manner upon arrival of the truck. Buyer will cause training to be
provided to the truck operator(s) regarding the hazards of handling LNG and the
precautions to take to safely load LNG. Buyer shall ensure that while inside the
Plant, including the LNG Delivery Point area, the truck operator(s) shall at all
times act in compliance with such training and precautions. While Seller
reserves the right to deny Delivery to any person not using the truck loading
facilities in the proper manner, Seller has no obligation to observe that the
truck loading facilities are being used in the proper manner.  Seller
acknowledges that Buyer may engage an independent truck operator to haul Buyer’s
LNG trailers.  Seller shall provide training to its employees and independent
contractors in the proper operation and maintenance of an LNG plant.

29.5                           Insurance. Buyer and Seller shall maintain in
force and effect throughout the term of this Sales Agreement, insurance coverage
of the types and in the amounts set forth below, which may be under blanket
policies, with insurance companies reasonably acceptable to either Party whose
acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld. If either Party violates this
provision, the other Party may, at its option and without prejudice to its other
legal rights, terminate this Sales Agreement upon reasonable notice.  The limits
set forth below are minimum limits and shall not be construed to limit either
Party’s liability. All costs and deductible amounts will be for the sole account
of each Party for maintaining its own coverage.

Worker’s Compensation Insurance, complying with the laws of any state having
jurisdiction over each employee, and employer’s liability insurance with limits
of $1,000,000 for each accident, $1,000,000 for each disease for each employee,
and a $1,000,000 disease policy limit.

Commercial or comprehensive general liability insurance on an occurrence form
with a combined single limit of $1,000,000 for each occurrence, and annual
aggregates of $1,000,000 for bodily injury and property damage, including
coverage for blanket contractual liability, broad form property damage, personal
injury liability, independent contractors, products/completed operations, and
the explosion exclusion shall be deleted.

Automobile liability insurance with a combined single limit of $1,000,000 for
each accident for bodily injury and property damage, to include coverage for all
owned, non-owned, and hired vehicles.

Excess or umbrella liability insurance with a combined single limit of
$1,000,000 for each occurrence, and annual aggregates of $1,000,000 for bodily
injury and property damage covering the excess of employer’s liability insurance
and the insurance set forth above.

29.5.1                  In each of the policies described above, each Party
agrees to waive, and will require each of its insurers to waive, any rights of
subrogation or recovery it may have against the other Party, their parents,
subsidiaries, or affiliated companies to the extent of the indemnity
obligations. Each Party shall name the other Party as an additional insured
under the policies described above to the extent of the indemnity obligations.

17

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

29.5.2                  The policies described above will include the following
amendment. “This insurance is primary insurance with respect to Seller, its
parents, subsidiaries and affiliated companies, and any other insurance
maintained by Seller, its parents, subsidiaries, or affiliated companies is
excess and not contributory with this insurance,” but only to the extent of
liabilities of Buyer not otherwise indemnified under this Sales Agreement and
for any indemnities assumed by Buyer under this Sales Agreement.

29.5.3                  Non-renewal or cancellation of policies described above
shall be effective only after the other Party shall have received thirty (30)
days prior written notice of such non-renewal or cancellation. Prior to the
creation of any obligation on the part of Seller to Deliver any LNG hereunder,
Buyer shall provide Seller, and Seller shall provide Buyer, with certificates of
insurance on an Accord 25 or 25S form evidencing the existence of the insurance
coverage required.

29.5.4                  Buyer may self-insure for any of the coverage requested
herein provided Buyer has an investment grade credit rating. In the event of
self-insurance, the following conditions shall apply: (1) Such self-insurance
program shall provide levels of coverage that are equivalent to or greater than
the amounts required by this Article either by itself or in combination with any
insurance policies that might be purchased; (2) Coverage provided by such
self-insurance shall be as broad as the most current ISO forms(s) issued for
like or same coverage; (3) Buyer can provide reasonable proof that it has made
adequate financial arrangements to fund such self-insurance program; (4) Such
self-insurance is permitted by any applicable law; and (5) Such self-insurance
shall comply with all the “additional insured” and “waiver of subrogation or
recovery” terms and conditions in this Article as if insurance policies had been
issued.

29.6                           Right of First Refusal.  Before the Start-up
Date, Seller may assign all rights and obligations of this Sales Agreement to a
newly created company (“NEWCO”) which will be created to own and manage the LNG
Plant and Seller shall own 100% of NEWCO.  This assignment will be permitted and
is not subject to a Right of First Refusal (“ROFR”) described in this Article
29.6, provided that in such event, NEWCO shall be subject to the ROFR described
in this Article 29.6, and all other obligations of Seller under this Sales
Agreement.  In the event Seller or NEWCO wishes to transfer ownership or partial
ownership in the Plant or an equity interest in NEWCO or Seller, or the ultimate
parent of Seller, if any, such transaction will be subject to the ROFR.  A sale
by one partner of Seller or NEWCO of part or all of its ownership interest in
Seller or NEWCO to another partner(s) of Seller or NEWCO shall not be subject to
the ROFR described below.

29.6.1                  Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, in the
event that Seller seeks to transfer all or part of its interest in the LNG
Plant, whether such transfer is structured as an asset sale or a sale of a
controlling equity interest in Seller (whether such sale is a single sale or a
series of transfers), Seller shall include with the transfer notice delivered in
accordance with Article 25 a written right of first refusal notice (a “ROFR
Notice”).  Each ROFR Notice shall set forth the proposed transferee’s name and
shall include a summary of the terms of the proposed transfer, including without
limitation, the purchase price and method of payment, and shall have attached to
it a copy of any offer or counteroffer executed or to be executed by Seller and
the transferee.  Seller represents and warrants that the purchase price, terms
and conditions referred to in the ROFR Notice shall have been arrived at through
arm’s length negotiations.  Buyer agrees that any ROFR Notice and the terms
therein or attached thereto shall be considered Confidential Information of
Seller and shall be subject to Article 26 above.

29.6.2                  If Buyer, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a
ROFR Notice, indicates in writing to Seller its agreement to purchase the LNG
Plant to be transferred on the terms stated in such ROFR Notice, Seller shall
sell and convey such property to Buyer on the same terms and conditions as set
forth in such ROFR Notice,.  If Buyer does not notify Seller of its intent to
exercise its right of first refusal within such thirty (30) day period, or if
Buyer gives Seller written notification that it does not elect to exercise such
right of first refusal, then Seller may transfer the LNG Plant free of

[***]                   Confidential portions of this document have been
redacted and filed separately with the Commission.

 

18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

                                                this right of first refusal on
the same terms and conditions offered to Buyer as set forth in the ROFR Notice.

29.6.3                  If Seller does not complete the transfer of the LNG
Plant described within the ROFR Notice within sixty (60) days of (i) the
expiration of the aforementioned thirty (30) day period or (ii) such earlier
date on which Buyer notifies Seller that it does not wish to exercise its right
of first refusal, or if Seller intends to transfer the LNG Plant on terms and
conditions which are changed or modified from those stated in the ROFR Notice,
then the transaction or any further transaction shall be deemed a new
determination by Seller to transfer the LNG Plant and the provisions of this
Article 29.6 shall again be applicable to any proposed transfer.

29.6.4                  Buyer’s right of first refusal as provided herein shall
be extinguished if and only if Buyer fails to exercise its right to purchase the
LNG Plant within the thirty (30) day period provided above and Seller thereafter
transfers the LNG Plant to the transferee and on the terms set forth in the ROFR
Notice within the sixty (60) day period provided above, and provided the offer
from the transferee presented to Buyer in the ROFR Notice was a valid, bona fide
and binding third party offer.  Failure by Buyer to respond to any other offer
shall in no way extinguish the right granted to Buyer hereunder which shall in
such case continue to burden the LNG Plant.

29.6.5                  As used in this Article 29.6, the term “transfer” shall
be defined to mean any transfer, sale, lease, or other conveyance, whether by
agreement for sale or in any other manner except as otherwise provided in the
first paragraph of this Article 29.6.  A sale of a parent company that holds an
interest in NEWCO is not deemed to be a “transfer” provided that the value of
the parent company’s interest in NEWCO is less than 25 per cent of the value of
the parent company.

29.6.6                  Buyer shall have the right to record a memorandum of its
right of First Refusal in the records of the county where the LNG Plant is
located.

29.7                           Dispute Resolution Procedures.  In the event a
dispute arises between the Parties related to this Sales Agreement, the
following process shall be followed:

(a)                  Each Party will designate a senior executive (“Designated
Representative”) to represent it in connection with any dispute that may arise
between the Parties (a “Party Dispute”).  The Designated Representative shall
initially be the persons identified in Article 25.1.  Subsequent changes in a
Party’s Designated Representative shall be communicated according to Article 25.

(b)                 In the event that a Party Dispute should arise, the
Designated Representatives will meet, with their attorneys, if they so agree,
within five (5) Business Days after written request by any Party to any other
Party (the “Dispute Notice”) in an effort to resolve the Party Dispute.

(c)                  If the Designated Representatives are unable to resolve the
Party Dispute within twenty (20) Business Days following their first meeting,
the Party Dispute will be submitted to non-binding mediation in Dallas, Texas
before a mediator made available to the Parties through JAMS.

(d)                 In the event that the mediation process fails to result in a
resolution of the Party Dispute within sixty (60) days following receipt of the
Dispute Notice, the Parties may take any action they may deem necessary to
protect their interests.

(e)                  The foregoing provisions of this Article 29.7 shall not be
construed to prohibit any Party from commencing, at any time prior to the
completion of the process described above,

32.5                           In consideration of a payment made in accordance
with the foregoing schedule, Seller agrees that without the prior written
consent of Buyer, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Buyer,
Seller will not, prior to the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date (a)
operate, or cause to be operated, the LNG Plant or sell, or cause to be sold,
LNG produced by the LNG Plant or (b) sell or lease the LNG Plant to a third
party, it being understood and agreed that by virtue of such payment Buyer has
in effect paid for the shutdown of the LNG Plant for the remaining term of this
Sales Agreement.  Seller may dismantle the LNG Plant and dispose of the
components.  Until such time as the Plant may be dismantled and disposed of,
Seller agrees to mothball the Plant until the tenth anniversary of the Effective
Date of this Agreement, in a manner that it could be restarted to produce LNG in
the event Buyer elects at a future date to purchase LNG from the Plant.  In the
event Seller wishes to resume LNG production at the Ehrenberg location, Seller
shall refund a portion of the Termination Fee which shall be calculated by
multiplying the number of years remaining (including the year in which Seller
resumes LNG production at the Ehrenberg location) before the tenth anniversary
of the Effective Date by [***].  Seller shall have the right to move the Plant
to a new location and resume LNG production.  If the LNG produced at the new
location competes with Buyer’s operations, Seller shall refund a portion of the
Termination Fee which shall be calculated by multiplying the number of years
remaining (including the year in which Seller resumes LNG production at the new
location) before the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date by [***].
