|2.5 | On written notice of such Purchase Shortfall to Baker by Supplier, Baker shall have *** months after the month of the Purchase Shortfall to purchase tonnage of Product in excess of one twelfth (1/12) of the Minimum Annual Purchase Requirement (but subject to the Monthly Maximum Supply Availability and the provisions of Section 2.1(c)) to make up for the Purchase Shortfall.  If Baker fails to purchase the full amount of the Purchase Shortfall in such *** month period, Baker shall be obligated to pay to Supplier an amount equal to the amount of the Purchase Shortfall not purchased by Baker in such *** month period (expressed in tons) multiplied by *** ($***) (the “Makewhole Payment”).  The Makewhole Payment shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, within *** days of written demand by Supplier by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by Supplier. The aggregate Purchase Shortfall amount for a Contract Year shall not exceed the Minimum Annual Purchase Requirement for such Contract Year less the amount of Product ordered and delivered to Baker.  Baker reserves the right to resell goods purchased from Supplier if deemed necessary by Baker in order to satisfy the Minimum Annual Purchase Requirement.  Supplier shall not be obligated to deliver more than the Monthly Maximum Supply Availability on any given calendar month.

If a receiving Party receives a request to disclose all or any part of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information under the terms of a valid and effective subpoena, decree or order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a governmental body (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include disclosure required pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission), the receiving Party hereby agrees to, and agrees to cause its Affiliates to, immediately notify the disclosing Party in writing of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding the request, so that the disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order or waive the receiving Party’s compliance with the provisions of this Agreement (and, if the disclosing Party seeks an order, to provide the cooperation as said owner shall reasonably request); and if disclosure of Confidential Information is required in the written opinion of a receiving Party’s counsel, the receiving Party shall exercise reasonable efforts, with the cooperation of the disclosing Party, to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the disclosed Confidential Information.  To the extent that disclosure of Confidential Information (including Confidential Contract Terms) is required by Supplier pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental body, Supplier may disclose such information without liability hereunder if (i) Supplier uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain (to the extent permitted by applicable law) confidential treatment of the Confidential Contract Terms, (ii) Supplier provides Baker a draft of Supplier’s confidential treatment application no later than five (5) days prior to such application being submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission, and (iii) Supplier considers in good faith any input received from Baker regarding such application so long as such input is received no later than three (3) days after Baker’s receipt of Supplier’s draft application; provided , however , that Supplier is entitled to rely on the advice of its counsel in determining the content of the application that is ultimately submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Baker hereby agrees and acknowledges that Supplier may disclose companywide aggregate figures, including without limitation weighted average remaining contract length and weighted average pricing, and such disclosure shall not be a violation of this Agreement.

|6.6 | Materiality.  The Parties agree that any disclosure of any Confidential Contract Term in violation of this Agreement shall be considered a material breach for purposes of Sections 8.2 and 8.3 of this Agreement, as applicable.  In the event that any Party discloses any Confidential Contract Term in violation of this Agreement, the non-breaching Party’s sole and exclusive remedy for the first two breaches, and only the first two breaches, shall be liquidated damages in an amount equal to (i) $*** if such breach occurs on or prior to April 8, 2014 and (ii) $*** if such breach occurs after April 8, 2014;provided,however, that in each case, the non-breaching party, at its option, may elect to pursue actual damages in lieu of such liquidated damages.

In the event of Baker’s failure to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement (including the failure to order and take delivery of the required volumes of Product or pay sums due hereunder), Supplier shall promptly give Baker notice thereof.   Such notice shall specifiy the nature of such failure with particularity and in reasonable detail, including the specific provision of this Agreement to which such purported failure relates.

|9.3 | Indemnification Procedure.  In the event either Party learns of any claim, liability, demand or cause of action relating to this Agreement or the performance hereunder, which said Party shall determine, in its sole discretion, that the other Party may be liable therefor, said Party shall promptly notify the other Party.  If indemnity is required by any of the terms of this Agreement, the indemnifying Party shall have the right to control all litigation and shall defend the other and pay all settlements, judgments, costs, and expenses (including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees), whether related or unrelated, similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, incident thereto.  Each Party, if requested, agrees to cooperate with the other in any defense, and the indemnifying Party shall reimburse the other for all reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith.

the right to counsel of its own choosing and at its sole expense participate in any such litigation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, neither Party shall effect settlement of or compromise any such claim or proceedings without having obtained the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that the indemnifying Party may settle or compromise any such claim if the settlement or compromise (a) requires solely the payment of money damages by the indemnifying Party, and (b) includes as an unconditional term thereof the release by the claimant or the plaintiff of the indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such claim.  If the indemnified Party does not consent to a settlement which the indemnifying Party is willing to accept, then the indemnifying Party’s liability shall be limited to the amount for which the claim could have been settled provided, such settlement does not require the indemnified Party to forego any property rights other than the amount of payment of the proposed settlement.

|10.3 | Entire Agreement; Amendment.  This Agreement, including its appendices, exhibits and schedules, constitutes the entire Agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any existing agreements between them whether oral or written, including the Original Agreement.  The terms of this Agreement shall only be amended, modified or supplemented as set forth herein or in a writing signed by or on behalf of both or the Parties.  In case of a conflict between this Agreement and a Purchase Order or Purchase Order confirmation contemplated hereunder, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.  Acceptance of a Purchase Order or Purchase Order confirmation is insufficient to amend this Agreement unless a separate writing is duly executed by all the Parties specifically amending this Agreement.

|10.4 | Reformation.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.  Upon the determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.  In the event any such provision, clause, sentence or part of this Agreement cannot be modified to comply with the law, then said provision, clause, sentence or portion of the Agreement shall be deemed to be deleted from the Agreement and the remaining terms and conditions shall remain in full force and effect.
