Procurement Price: The volume weighted average purchase price per barrel calculated under all Procurement Contracts under which such Crude Oil was acquired during such month. The volume weighted average will be calculated as the net dollars paid or received on all Procurement Contracts, with Aron payments to third parties represented as a positive dollar amount and Aron receipts from third parties represented as a negative dollar amount, divided by the net volume on all Procurement Contracts, with Aron purchases represented as a positive volume and Aron sales represented as a negative volume. If for such month Aron does not enter any Crude Oil Procurement Contracts, the Procurement Price will equal the sum of the closing settlement price on the New York Mercantile Exchange for the first nearby Light Crude Futures contract for the Trading Day preceding the relevant Invoice Date.
Base Price: The volume weighted average purchase price per barrel calculated under all Procurement Contracts under which such Crude Oil was acquired during such month. The volume weighted average will be calculated as the net dollars paid or received on all Procurement Contracts, with Aron payments to third parties represented as a positive dollar amount and Aron receipts from third parties represented as a negative dollar amount, divided by the net volume on all Procurement Contracts, with Aron purchases represented as a positive volume and Aron sales represented as a negative volume. If for such month Aron does not enter any Crude Oil Procurement Contracts, the Base Price will equal the Short Crude FIFO price as defined in Schedule B.
Trading Day: Any day for which the relevant price is published.
