 2.1 STF Production Equipment/Costs. 
 (a) Subject to Section 2.1(b) of this Agreement, PCS Phosphate, either directly or through a contractor, at its sole cost, will engineer, design, construct and own [*****] STF plants ([*****]) at the PCS Site. Each STF
plant will be designed with a minimum production capacity of [*****] tons per year. When each STF unit is capable of producing a saleable quantity of STF, PCS Phosphate shall issue a Commencement Notice to MEMC for such STF unit. PCS
Phosphate issued to MEMC a Commencement Notice dated [*****] for [*****]. PCS Phosphate will use reasonable best efforts to have (i) [*****] producing STF by [*****] and (ii) [*****] each producing STF by
[*****]. In the event that PCS Phosphate is unable to meet any one of these deadlines, MEMC agrees that PCS shall have no liability to MEMC for direct, special, indirect or consequential damages, including damages for economic loss, such as
business interruption or loss of profits. 
 (b) PCS Phosphate has provided and MEMC has reviewed and approved the proposed capital budget of
[*****] Dollars ($[*****]) for the [*****] project, as set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement (“Base Cost”). If PCS Phosphate, in its sole discretion, determines that it will exceed the Base Cost in order to
meet the Success Criteria, set forth in Section 4.1(b) of this Agreement, MEMC agrees and approves that PCS Phosphate, in its sole discretion, can spend up to an additional [*****] Dollars ($[*****]) on [*****]
(“Additional Cost”); provided, however, that (i) PCS shall provide written notice to MEMC that such Additional Cost is necessary, and (ii) PCS shall provide written detail to MEMC of all components of such Additional Cost.

 CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED 
 REDACTED VERSION 
  

 (c) MEMC understands and agrees that (i) PCS Phosphate is incurring the engineering, design and
construction costs pursuant to Section 2.1(a) herein for the sole benefit of MEMC, (ii) PCS Phosphate has no other use to which such engineering, design and construction can be applied other than the production of STF for MEMC,
(iii) PCS Phosphate is relying on MEMC’s STF Technology, and (iv) MEMC is the only prospective purchaser of the STF. In order to provide assurance for the reimbursement of such costs and as a condition to PCS’s entry into this
Agreement, MEMC shall have delivered, on or before the Effective Date of this Agreement, to PCS Phosphate and shall cause to remain in effect (with a term ending no earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the then current expiry date) an
irrevocable standby letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in PCS Phosphate’s favor in the original undrawn face amount of $[*****] issued by a United States commercial bank acceptable to PCS Phosphate and in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (with such differences as shall be acceptable to PCS Phosphate in its sole discretion) to secure all of MEMC’s obligations to reimburse PCS for the Base Cost and the Additional Cost, if any.
In the event this Agreement is terminated by PCS pursuant to Section 5.3 of this Agreement due to (x) an “Event of Default” (as defined in Section 5.3) by MEMC of this Agreement or (y) any Letter of Credit is not
renewed or a supplemental Letter of Credit is not delivered, in each case as further described below, then PCS will be entitled to draw on all of the Letters of Credit and apply the proceeds thereof to reimburse PCS for all of the Base Cost and
Additional Cost incurred by PCS. MEMC agrees that PCS’s right to draw on the Letters of Credit upon the occurrence of such Event of Default is in addition to and cumulative with all other rights of, and remedies available to, PCS under this
Agreement or at law or equity. In addition, if an event of force majeure occurs with respect to MEMC and such event of force majeure lasts more than 180 calendar days, then PCS will not be entitled to terminate this Agreement, but PCS will be
entitled to draw on all of the Letters of Credit and shall deposit all such funds in an interest-bearing account with a nationally recognized bank, with the ability to apply the proceeds thereof to reimburse PCS for all of the Base Cost and
Additional Cost incurred by PCS. In the event that PCS draws on the Letter of Credit pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence (such drawn amount, including the interest, a “Force Majeure Payment”), then after MEMC remedies its
event of force majeure and commences taking STF under this Agreement, MEMC shall be entitled to apply the amount of such Force Majeure Payment to future deliveries of STF hereunder at a credit of $[*****] per ton of STF sold to MEMC as set
forth in Exhibit C to this Agreement. Neither Party shall be liable for any damages pursuant to Section 3.3(a) and 3.3(b), for up to a maximum of thirty (30) days following an event of force majeure, to allow for the start up of the STF
units or to arrange for the delivery of STF Trailers. The parties further agree that in the event that PCS draws on the Letter of Credit in connection with an event of force majeure pursuant to the two preceding sentences, no transfer of assets per
Section 2.1(d) below will occur unless the parties otherwise mutually agree. 
 Prior to any drawing thereon, the undrawn face amount of
the Letter of Credit may be decreased periodically (but no more frequently than quarterly and commencing from and after July 1, 2008) with the mutual consent of MEMC and PCS (which PCS agrees not to unreasonably withhold or delay) to account
for the amortization of PCS’s capital costs calculated in accordance with the schedule set forth in Exhibit C to this Agreement, which amortization should be finished, based on such schedule, no later than December 31, 2012; provided,
however, such date would be

 CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED 
 REDACTED VERSION 
  

 
extended for, among other things, an event of force majeure or MEMC’s failure to perform under Section 3.3(a) of this Agreement. If PCS, in its
sole discretion, determines that the cost of STF [*****] exceeds the Base Cost, PCS shall provide MEMC notice thereof and MEMC, within two (2) weeks of the date of such notice, shall provide PCS with an additional letter of credit
(substantially in the form of the Letter of Credit (and the term Letter of Credit shall be deemed to mean and refer to all such outstanding letters of credit hereunder)) from a United States commercial bank acceptable to PCS in the amount of up to
such Additional Cost, as limited by Section 2.1(b) above (or such lesser amount as shall be approved by PCS); provided, however, PCS shall not require MEMC to secure more than two additional letters of credit for such excess costs. Each Letter
of Credit shall (subject to amortization thereof) continue to remain in effect until all of the Base Cost and Additional Cost are fully amortized or otherwise fully reimbursed pursuant to the terms hereof. 
 If any Letter of Credit (or required portion thereof) is not renewed at least 90 days prior to its scheduled expiry date or if MEMC fails to deliver to
PCS any supplemental Letter of Credit as required under this Agreement, PCS shall be entitled to immediately draw the full amount of all of the Letters of Credit and to apply the proceeds thereof against the reimbursement of the Base Cost and
Additional Cost as provided above. 
 (d) PCS Phosphate expressly agrees that in the event it draws on the entirety of the Letter of Credit
pursuant to clause (x) or (y) of Section 2.1(c) above, and so long as all of the Base Cost and Additional Cost are fully amortized or otherwise fully reimbursed pursuant to the terms hereof, then PCS shall promptly thereafter execute
all documents reasonably requested by MEMC to transfer all right, title or interest in, to or under any and all equipment/vessels/designs purchased or constructed by PCS Phosphate within the battery limits of the [*****] production facility
as shown in Exhibit D. In such event, the Parties shall commence negotiations in good faith to attempt to negotiate a new supply agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) to replace all or a portion of this Agreement as to the assets to be
transferred, which terms shall be based on the terms and conditions of this Agreement as much as possible and appropriate. Title to an asset shall transfer to MEMC when an asset is loaded for shipment. MEMC shall pay all costs for the dismantling,
removal, loading and transportation of all such assets from the Aurora plant; provided that to the extent any such assets are not removed from the Aurora plant within 180 days after any such drawing on the Letter of Credit, title thereto shall
revert to PCS. MEMC shall indemnify and hold harmless PCS and its officers, directors and employees for any losses, costs, damages and expenses (i) caused to the Aurora plant (ii) otherwise arising out of or relating to, the removal and
dismantling of such assets and for any acts or omissions in such process. 
 2.2 Operation. PCS Phosphate, at its expense, shall
operate and maintain the STF Production Equipment in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, including those relating to environmental, health and safety
matters. 
 2.3 Maintenance. PCS Phosphate, at its expense, shall maintain the STF Production Equipment in good working order and
repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted), including any all necessary replacements thereof and capital expenditures in connection therewith. 
 2.4 Inspection. PCS shall permit MEMC’s employees, agents and contractors to enter the PCS Site upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times to perform periodic quality and manufacturing process inspections and audits.

 3. SALE AND PURCHASE OF STF  
 3.1 Quantity. During the Term of this Agreement, PCS Sales shall sell to MEMC and MEMC shall purchase from PCS Sales all of the STF produced by
each STF unit up to a maximum of [*****] ([*****]) tons of STF during each Contract Year (the “Purchase Requirement”); provided, however, that PCS Sales shall not be required to sell to MEMC more than
(i) [*****] ([*****]) tons of STF per month from any one STF unit, or (ii) [*****] ([*****]) tons of STF per year from any one STF unit. During the Term of this Agreement, and provided that MEMC has not had an
Event of Default, PCS agrees not to sell the STF to any person or entity other than MEMC during such Term without the prior written consent of MEMC, which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of MEMC, and in all events
consistent with Section 6.1. After the expiration or termination of this Agreement as set forth in Article 5 hereof, PCS shall have the right to sell STF to any other person or entity only in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1
of this Agreement, provided that PCS shall pay to MEMC a royalty in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement. 
 3.2 FSA
Shortfall. Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations of Section 3.1, and subject to the additional terms and conditions of Article 9, from the Effective Date of this Agreement through the end of the 2009 Contract Year (the Contract Year
ending December 31, 2009), PCS shall have no obligation to produce or sell STF to MEMC if and to the extent PCS is unable to do so or it is commercially impractical to do so, in either case, only due to pre-existing FSA supply contracts or FSA
production limitations, as solely determined by PCS; provided, however, (subject to the following sentence) for each of Contract Years 2008 and 2009, PCS shall supply [*****] tons per year FSA, on a 100% basis. During any period of FSA
shortfall (only from the Effective Date of this Agreement through the end of the 2009 Contract Year), PCS shall have no obligation to provide a pro rata amount of the available supply of FSA to produce STF and, during such FSA shortfall, MEMC shall
make commercially reasonable efforts to supply the FSA required to produce STF in accordance with the schedule set forth in Exhibit E to this Agreement and all FSA supplied by MEMC shall meet the FSA specifications set forth in Exhibit F to this
Agreement. To the extent STF is produced with FSA supplied by MEMC, MEMC will receive a credit of $[*****]/ton of FSA, on a 100% basis, through the end of the 2009 Contract Year. 
 3.3 Failure to Take or Supply STF. 
 (a) Failure to Take STF. In addition to and without limiting in any way any recourse of PCS against the Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.1(c) of this Agreement or other rights of, or remedies available to, PCS under
this Agreement or at law or equity, in the event that MEMC fails to take the lesser of: (i) upon receipt of the Commencement Notice with respect to each STF plant, all of the output from each such STF plant; or (ii) the Purchase
Requirement, MEMC shall be liable to PCS for liquidated damages in an amount equal to the Base Price (or Adjusted Base Price, if then applicable) multiplied by the amount of STF that MEMC failed to take in the relevant Contract Year; provided,
however, that MEMC shall not be obligated to pay such liquidated damages to the extent such failure to take STF arises from an MEMC event of force

 REDACTED VERSION 
  

 
majeure (although MEMC’s obligation to take for such a year in which an event of force majeure occurs shall be pro rated to account for such event of
force majeure). The Parties further agree that if PCS Phosphate’s ability to produce STF is limited by MEMC’s failure to supply (x) STF Trailers (as hereinafter defined) in accordance with Section 3.9 of this Agreement or
(y) FSA in accordance with Section 3.2 of this Agreement, then MEMC shall be liable to PCS for liquidated damages of the Base Price (or Adjusted Base Price, if then applicable) for each ton of STF that MEMC fails to take from each STF unit
for which a Commencement Notice has been issued, as though each such unit is operating at capacity, i.e., [*****] tons of STF per month per unit, in accordance with the Success Criteria even if the Success Criteria have not been demonstrated
(and even if such quantity of STF has not been produced by PCS); and provided, further, that the Parties agree that notwithstanding the foregoing, for [*****] only (although MEMC is hereby obligated to take all output of [*****] in the
interim), the date for the deemed capacity of [*****] tons of STF per month for [*****] shall be April 30, 2007. PCS shall, following the end of each calendar year, determine whether MEMC failed to take the lesser of (i) all
output or (ii) the Purchase Requirement amount (or such prorated amount in the case of partial year determinations) as required under the first sentence of this Section for such calendar year (or such partial year) and calculate liquidated
damages as provided above for such period. MEMC, promptly after receipt of an invoice from PCS demanding payment of such liquidated damages amount (but in any event within 20 days of receipt thereof), shall pay such amount to PCS. The liquidated
damages described herein are intended to compensate PCS for costs and other damages and are not intended as a penalty, but instead have been fixed and agreed upon by the Parties because of the impracticality and extreme difficulty of ascertaining
the true value of damages that PCS would suffer as a result of the failure of MEMC to perform. 
 (b) Failure to Supply STF. Following
demonstration that each of the [*****] plants meets the Success Criteria as defined in Section 4.1(b) of this Agreement, in the event that during any calendar year (or such prorated amount in the case of the year of that the final STF
plant(s) meet the Success Criteria), PCS is unable to supply to MEMC the Purchase Requirement and such failure to supply (i) is not excused under the Force Majeure Provisions (although the Purchase Requirement for such a year in which an event
of force majeure occurs shall be pro rated to account for such event of force majeure), (ii) did not result from MEMC’s failure to supply FSA as required in Section 3.2 above, (iii) did not result from MEMC’s failure to
supply STF Trailers as required under Section 3.9, or (iv) did not result from MEMC’s material breach of any provision hereof, PCS shall be liable to pay MEMC liquidated damages in an amount equal to the Base Price (or Adjusted Base
Price, if then applicable) multiplied by the amount of STF that PCS failed to supply in the relevant period. MEMC shall, following the end of each calendar year, determine whether PCS failed to supply the Purchase Requirement (or such prorated
amount in the case of partial year determinations) as required under this Agreement for such calendar year (or such partial year) and calculate liquidated damages as provided above for such period. PCS, promptly after receipt of an invoice from MEMC
demanding payment of such liquidated damages amount (but in any event within 20 days of receipt thereof), shall pay such amount to MEMC. The liquidated damages described herein are intended to compensate MEMC for costs and other damages and are not
intended as a penalty, but instead have been fixed and agreed upon by the Parties because of the impracticality and extreme difficulty of ascertaining the true value of damages that MEMC would suffer as a result of the failure of PCS to perform. PCS
shall have no obligation to make alternative supply arrangements to cover such shortfall.

 3.4 Purchase Rates. MEMC agrees to purchase and PCS agrees to supply STF at a reasonably
constant weekly rate. The Parties agree to cooperate to buy and to supply STF at a higher rate than the constant weekly rate from time to time when requested by one Party and when such higher rate is operationally and commercially reasonable
for the other Party. The Parties will work together to coordinate outages and curtailments in production, whether planned or unplanned, in order to prevent or minimize any adverse impact on their respective plants and operations; provided, however,
PCS shall have no obligation to sell and deliver STF quantities to MEMC at approximately the constant weekly rate during periods when one or more STF plants are not in operation due to reasonable maintenance requirements and turnarounds or due to
any event of force majeure. 
 3.5 Monthly Estimate. For planning purposes only, before the first business day of each calendar
quarter, MEMC shall deliver to PCS the estimated quantities of STF that MEMC anticipates that it will purchase from PCS for the next twelve (12) months. MEMC will endeavor to purchase and PCS will endeavor to supply STF in approximately equal
monthly volumes. 
 3.6 Purchase Orders. All orders by MEMC for STF hereunder
shall be made by means of a written purchase order. Any specific instructions for shipment will be conveyed via the purchase order. All such purchase orders shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, as supplemented by
the confirmed quantities. MEMC’s purchase order will be deemed to be accepted by PCS unless written notification and justification to the contrary is received by MEMC within three (3) business days of PCS’s receipt of the purchase
order. Unless expressly agreed in writing by PCS and MEMC, no additional or different terms or conditions contained in any quotation, sales order, acknowledgement form, purchase order or other communication from PCS or MEMC shall be binding upon PCS
or MEMC, and each Party objects to any such additional or different terms or conditions. No accepted purchase order may be cancelled or altered except upon terms and conditions acceptable to both PCS and MEMC, as evidenced by their written consent.
Invoices shall reference the applicable purchase order and shall be submitted for payment by PCS to the MEMC accounts payable address specified in writing from time to time by MEMC. To the extent there is any conflict between the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and of any purchase order, the terms of this Agreement shall apply. 
 3.7 Specifications. The STF to be
supplied under this Agreement shall meet the specifications, utilizing the protocol in Exhibit G to this Agreement, as agreed to by the Parties following the production of STF by the STF Production Equipment and will be set forth in Exhibit G to
this Agreement. PCS shall maintain accurate records and data for any quality testing done by or for PCS of any STF purchased by MEMC hereunder and shall make such records and test data available to MEMC upon reasonable request. MEMC shall have the
right to conduct its own independent testing of such STF at MEMC’s own expense. As set forth herein, MEMC shall notify PCS within twenty one (21) business days from the date that MEMC takes title to the STF that any such STF fails to
conform to the specifications in Exhibit G or of any claim with respect to such STF. 
 3.8 Title and Risk of Loss. The ownership of
and legal title to the STF sold and purchased hereunder and all risk of loss of or damage to the STF, shall pass to MEMC at the point where the STF leaves the loading hose and has entered MEMC’s compressed gas trailers.

 CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED 
 REDACTED VERSION 
  

 3.9 Loading and Transportation of STF; Access. 
 (a) MEMC, at its sole expense, shall provide the compressed gas trailers for the loading of the STF sold to MEMC at the PCS Site and for the
transportation of such STF from the PCS Site. PCS shall load the STF. PCS agrees that MEMC shall not be liable for any loss, damage or injury to persons or property arising from PCS’s negligent act or omission or willful misconduct in the
loading of the STF; provided, however, MEMC agrees that PCS shall not be liable for any loss, damage or injury to persons or property arising from any equipment failure of MEMC’s compressed gas trailers during the loading of the STF. In the
transporting of the STF sold to MEMC, MEMC and its employees, contractors or agents shall ensure that such STF shall be shipped and unloaded in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules and regulations regarding the
handling and transportation of such material. 
 (b) Upon receipt of the Commencement Notice for an STF unit, MEMC shall arrange for and
ensure delivery of compressed gas trailers (“STF Trailers”) for the loading of the STF as produced by PCS from each such STF unit. PCS shall provide MEMC with access to the PCS Site for loading of up to [*****]
([*****]) STF Trailers and for storage of [*****] ([*****]) additional, empty STF Trailers. PCS shall have no obligation to store the STF. If at any time MEMC does not provide at least [*****] ([*****]) STF
Trailers for the loading of STF, PCS Phosphate may halt production of the STF for the corresponding period of time where compressed gas trailers are not available and shall not be liable for payment for any corresponding shortfall of supply of the
Purchase Requirement under Section 3.3(b) of this Agreement and MEMC shall be liable to pay PCS the liquidated damages required by Section 3.3(a) of this Agreement. If PCS Phosphate halts production of STF under this Section 3.9(b),
in no event shall PCS be liable to MEMC for special, incidental, indirect, punitive, or consequential damages resulting from such halt in production, and provided, further, that in no event will MEMC bring any cause of action, either direct or third
party, against PCS as a result of such halt in production. 
 3.10 Compliance with Safety Regulations and Laws; Environmental
Indemnification. MEMC agrees that its agents, representatives, employees and contractors will comply with all applicable PCS safety regulations when such individuals are upon the PCS Site. Upon transfer of title of the STF to MEMC, MEMC shall
manage the STF in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, including those relating to environmental, health and safety matters. MEMC further agrees that, upon transfer of title of the STF to MEMC, MEMC
shall indemnify, defend and hold PCS and its officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns, free and harmless from and against any claims, damages, losses, forfeitures, penalties, expenses, environmental response costs or liabilities for
bodily injury to or the death of any person or for property damage (including reasonable legal fees and other costs of litigation) arising from or in connection with any spill, release, emission, disposal or discharge of STF or any Hazardous
Materials in violation of any applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations relating to pollution or the protection of human health or the environment (“Environmental Laws”). “Hazardous Materials” means
(a) hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, and hazardous substances as those terms are defined under any Environmental Laws; (b) petroleum and petroleum products including crude oil and any fractions thereof; (c) natural gas,
synthetic gas and any mixtures thereof; (d) asbestos or any material which contains any hydrated mineral silicate, including, but not limited

to chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, anthophylite or actinolite, whether friable or non-friable; (e) PCBs or PCB-containing materials or
fluids; (f) any other hazardous, toxic or radioactive substance, material, contaminant, pollutant or waste; and (g) any substance with respect to which any Environmental Law requires investigation, monitoring or remediation. The terms of
this Section 3.10 shall survive termination of this Agreement. 
 4. STF PRICE/PAYMENT TERMS  
 4.1 Price. 
 (a) Base Price.
Upon the Effective Date of this Agreement and subject to the provisions in Section 4.1(b) of this Agreement, the Base Price for all STF produced under this Agreement up to the Purchase Requirement shall be $[*****] per short ton FOB the
PCS Site (the “Base Price”). 
 (b) Adjusted Base Price. On April 1, 2010, PCS shall provide written notice to
MEMC of the “Adjusted Base Price,” which Adjusted Base Price shall become effective on April 1, 2010, for STF based on PCS Phosphate’s (i) actual total capital cost of the entire STF project including the FSA recovery
units and related equipment compared to the original estimate of $[*****], provided, however, as agreed to in Section 2.1(b) of this Agreement, such total cost shall not exceed $[*****], and (ii) actual cash operating costs
as compared to the $[*****] per short ton (the “Adjusted Base Price”), and shall be calculated as follows: 
 Adjusted Base
Price = [*****] 
 “Actual Capital” shall include any capital PCS must spend to achieve the following “Success Criteria”:
(x) [*****] production of [*****] tons per year STF; (y) FSA recovery of [*****] ton per year; and (z) no significant change to the filter acid capacity as determined by laboratory testing of the slurry from the
phosphoric acid attack system. The methodology for the filtration tests is set forth in Exhibit H to this Agreement. “Actual Cash Operating Costs” shall be those direct cash operating costs from March 1, 2009 until February 28,
2010 divided by the tons of STF sold to MEMC during such timeframe. The definition of “Direct Cash Operating Costs” is contained in Exhibit I. The protocol for measuring the “Success Criteria” is set forth in Exhibit J. PCS
Phosphate shall have sole responsibility for determining if each of [*****] meet the Success Criteria and, upon written request, shall make any relevant performance data available to MEMC. An example of how the Adjusted Base Price is
calculated is set forth in Exhibit K to this Agreement. 
 (c) PPI. Beginning in 2011, and in each year thereafter, the applicable
Adjusted Base Price shall be increased or decreased by a percentage equal to [*****] percent ([*****]%) of the percentage increase or decrease (as the case may be) in the annual average Producer Price Index for All Other Basic
Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing, as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor (the “PPI”), during the previous year; provided, however, that the maximum percentage increase or decrease of
the Adjusted Base Price during the Initial Term shall not exceed [*****]%. For clarity, the Parties agree that, in 2011, the PPI will reflect the change between the 2009 and 2010 PPIs. Each such increase or decrease shall be effective on the
first day of June and shall be applicable to all deliveries of STF thereafter made by

PCS to MEMC through May 31 of the next year. This calculation is illustrated in Exhibit L. During the term of this Agreement, PCS and MEMC may mutually
agree to substitute another nationally recognized index for purposes of making the calculation contemplated herein. 
 (d) Sale and
Purchase of STF Above the Purchase Requirement. If PCS desires to sell and MEMC desires to buy STF in a quantity above the Purchase Requirement, MEMC shall pay $[*****] per short ton FOB the PCS Site, which price shall be adjusted by the
PPI in accordance with Section 4.1(c) above . 
 4.2 Payment Terms. PCS Sales shall issue an invoice to MEMC for each loaded
trailer of STF. Payment for each invoice shall be thirty (30) days net with payment via ACH transfer. PCS may recover for each delivery hereunder as a separate transaction without reference to any other delivery. 
 4.3 Delivery. All STF is sold FOB the PCS Site. 
 5.
TERM AND TERMINATION  
 5.1 Term. The purchase and sale of STF hereunder shall commence upon the Effective Date of this
Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, each Contract Year shall be based on full calendar years ending each December 31, except for the initial Contract Year which shall cover the partial period from the Effective Date through
December 31, 2007. Subject to earlier termination in accordance with Section 5.3 of this Agreement, the initial term of the purchase and sale obligations of the Parties hereunder shall extend from the Effective Date through
December 31, 2018 (“Initial Term”). 
 5.2 Extension Term. This Agreement shall terminate at the end of Initial
Term or any Extension Term, if applicable, unless at least two (2) years prior to the expiration of the then current term, the Parties mutually agree (on terms to be set forth and agreed upon at such time, which may be different than those set
forth herein) to extend the Term of this Agreement (as modified as set forth above) for additional successive three (3) year periods (each an “Extension Term”). 
 5.3 Termination For Cause/Default. 
 (a) Either Party may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other Party if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the other Party. For all purposes under this Agreement, an “Event of Default” shall be defined
as the following: (i) one Party fails to perform or comply with a material term or provision of this Agreement (other than as set forth in Section 5.3(c) below) and fails to remedy such non-performance or non-compliance within thirty
(30) days after written notice from the non-breaching Party setting out the nature of the breach and demanding that the same be remedied; (ii) if a Party commits or suffers one of the events listed under Section 5.3(b); or
(iii) if MEMC commits or suffers one of the events listed under Section 5.3(c). 
 (b) In addition, this Agreement shall be deemed
immediately terminated by the non-breaching Party, without notice, if the other Party (i) becomes insolvent, (ii) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iii) suffers or permits the appointment of a receiver for its
business or assets, (iv) becomes subject as the debtor to any proceeding under any bankruptcy or 

  

 11

 REDACTED VERSION 
  

 
insolvency law, whether domestic or foreign, and whether voluntarily or involuntarily, and such proceeding is not dismissed with prejudice within sixty
(60) days after filing or (v) becomes subject as the debtor to liquidation or dissolution proceedings, voluntarily or involuntarily. 
 (c) Furthermore, PCS may terminate this Agreement by the giving of written notice of termination to MEMC if: (i) MEMC fails to pay the invoice for the take or pay damages under Section 3.3(a) within the time frame set forth in
Section 3.3(a) or (ii) MEMC fails to keep in effect the Letters of Credit or provide PCS with a supplemental Letter of Credit, as would be required in Section 2.1(c). 
 (d) Upon any termination of this Agreement (whether by PCS, MEMC or pursuant to Section 5.3(b)), the Party terminating this Agreement shall
calculate the net present value (discounted at a rate of 6% per annum) of liquidated damages owed to such Party as provided in Section 3.3(a) or Section 3.3(b) of this Agreement, but the relevant period shall be from and including the
effective date of such termination to the end of the Initial Term or any Extension Term, as applicable; provided that, for the purpose of calculating such liquidated damages under this Section 5.3(d), the applicable Base Price or Adjusted Base
Price shall be substituted with $[*****] per ton of STF. The non-terminating Party shall pay, within two business days after receipt of a written demand therefor, such amount to the terminating Party. The liquidated damages described herein are
intended to compensate the terminating Party for costs and other damages and are not intended as a penalty, but instead have been fixed and agreed upon by the Parties because of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining the true
value of damages that the terminating Party would suffer as a result of the failure of the non-terminating party to perform. Upon any termination of this Agreement, neither Party shall be liable to the other Party for special, incidental, indirect,
punitive or consequential damages. 
 (e) In addition to the rights to terminate this Agreement set forth above in this Section 5.3,
upon the occurrence of an uncured or unremedied Event of Default (where such a cure or remedy of the Event of Default is permitted or applicable), PCS shall have the right to make an immediate draw on the Letter of Credit and apply the proceeds
thereof as set forth in Article 2 hereof. 
 (f) Provisions for Force Majeure. The Parties agree that (i) during the period from
the Effective Date until December 31, 2012, if MEMC suffers an event of force majeure of more than 180 days, then PCS shall have the rights to draw on the Letter of Credit as set forth in Section 2.1(c), but not the right to terminate this
Agreement; (ii) during the period after December 31, 2012, if MEMC suffers an event of force majeure of more than 180 days, then PCS shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving MEMC (after such 180 days) at least 24 months
prior written notice; provided, however, that in the event that after receipt of such prior written notice by MEMC and before termination of this Agreement at the end of such 24 month period, if MEMC provides PCS with written notice of completion of
the event of force majeure and of MEMC’s intention to resume taking delivery of STF under the Agreement, then the rights and obligations of the Parties shall thereafter resume, including, but not limited to, under Section 3.3(a) and
Section 3.3(b) of this Agreement; (iii) during the Term of this Agreement, if PCS suffers an event of force majeure of more than 180 days, then if MEMC has found a reasonable alternative supplier, MEMC shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement by giving PCS (after such 180 days) at least 30 days prior written notice. In the event of any termination of the Agreement by either Party under this Section 

  

 12 









 CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

5.3(f), the other Party shall not have the right to any liquidated damages payments under Section 5.3(d) and neither Party shall be liable to the other
Party for special, incidental, indirect, punitive or consequential damages. 
 5.4 Effect of Termination. Upon termination or
expiration of this Agreement, the Parties’ obligations pursuant to Article 2, but not Sections 2.1(c) and 2.1(d) thereof, Article 3, but not Section 3.10 thereof, and Article 4 hereunder shall terminate. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Articles 6, 8, 11, 14, 15, and 16 and Sections 2.1(c), 2.1(d), 3.10, 5.3(d) and 5.3(e) are of a continuing nature and shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason. In addition, notwithstanding anything contained in this Section to the
contrary, all indemnifications hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 6. LICENSE OF MEMC STF TECHNOLOGY 
 6.1 License of MEMC STF Technology. During the Term of this Agreement and, subject to the terms of this Section 6.1, thereafter, MEMC will
irrevocably and perpetually license the MEMC STF Technology and know-how to PCS (i) during the Term of the Agreement, at no cost and for no royalty payment as necessary for PCS to fulfill its obligations hereunder to produce STF for MEMC,
(ii) during the Term of the Agreement, subject to satisfaction of PCS’s obligations hereunder with respect to MEMC’s needs (including above the Purchase Requirement, if requested by MEMC), subject to confidentiality restrictions, to
produce STF for sale to others at the [*****]% royalty rate as set forth below and (iii) from and after the termination of the Agreement, MEMC shall continue to license such MEMC STF Technology and know-how to PCS in consideration for
royalty payments to MEMC of [*****]% of the net sales price, FOB the PCS Site of any third-party sales of STF after such date for a period of ten (10) years at which point such license shall be deemed fully paid; provided, however, that
in no event during the Term of this Agreement or for a period of ten (10) years after the termination of this Agreement, including after the date the license is deemed fully paid, may PCS use the MEMC STF Technology to sell STF to any MEMC
Competitor. For the purposes hereof, “MEMC Competitor” shall mean any entity engaged in (i) the design, development, manufacture, marketing or sale of silicon wafers for use in semiconductors or solar cells or modules;
(ii) the design, development, manufacture, marketing or sale of polysilicon or polysilicon ingots; or (iii) the design, development, manufacture, marketing or sale of silane. Such license shall be transferable in connection with the sale
by PCS of this line of business. Such royalty shall be due and payable by PCS to MEMC on the first day of the second month of each calendar quarter with respect to all sales of STF during the preceding calendar quarter. PCS shall provide to MEMC any
reasonable documentation as may be requested from time to time by MEMC to evidence and corroborate the volume of sales that are subject to the foregoing royalty. The foregoing license is non-assignable and is personal to PCS. The provisions
pertaining to the royalty described in this Section 6.1 shall survive termination of this Agreement. 
 6.2
Sublicense/Subcontracting. PCS shall not sublicense any of its rights under this Article 6. The provisions of this Section 6.2 shall survive termination of this Agreement. 
 6.3 No Implied Rights. Except for the rights expressly granted in this Agreement, MEMC retains all right, title and interest in and to the MEMC
STF Technology and its other intellectual property. No right or license shall be implied by or inferred from this Agreement or the activities of the Parties in connection with this Agreement. PCS shall not use, practice or exploit any 

  

 13 









 CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED 
 REDACTED VERSION 
  

 
of the licensed MEMC STF Technology, other than in its manufacture and sale of STF to MEMC as expressly authorized herein. The provisions of this
Section 6.3 shall survive termination of this Agreement. 
 6.4 Intellectual Property; Indemnification. MEMC represents and
warrants that the license to PCS to use the MEMC STF Technology and to sell the STF produced thereby will not violate or infringe upon any patent, copyright, trademark or other proprietary or intellectual property right. MEMC shall indemnify, defend
and hold PCS and its officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns, free and harmless from and against any claims, damages, losses, forfeitures, penalties, expenses, or liabilities (including reasonable legal fees and other costs of
litigation) arising from or in connection with (a) any actual or alleged infringement of any patent or other intellectual property right relating to the MEMC STF Technology of the sale of STF produced thereby, or (b) MEMC’s acts in
the use, resale, handling or processing of STF obtained from PCS under this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 6.4 shall survive termination of this Agreement. 
 7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. PCS Sales represents and warrants that the STF delivered to MEMC under this Agreement shall meet the specifications set forth in Exhibit E attached hereto.
EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, PCS MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF FITNESS OF THE STF FOR PARTICULAR USE OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY.  
 8. CLAIMS. 
 8.1 Claims based upon weight,
quality, loss of, or damage to STF in a particular shipment of STF are waived unless made in writing transmitted to PCS within twenty-one (21) business days following transfer of title of the subject STF to MEMC. Any statute of limitation to
the contrary notwithstanding, following transfer of title of the subject STF to MEMC, any action by MEMC for breach of this Agreement must be commenced within one year of the date of the transfer of title of the subject STF. 
 8.2 FOR STF CONFORMING TO SPECIFICATION, PCS’S LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED UPON PCS’S NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF
WARRANTY, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PARTICULAR SHIPMENT WITH RESPECT TO WHICH SUCH DAMAGES ARE CLAIMED; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, FOR STF NOT CONFORMING TO SPECIFICATION, PCS’S LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED
UPON PCS’S NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE SUM OF THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PARTICULAR SHIPMENT WITH RESPECT TO WHICH SUCH DAMAGES ARE CLAIMED AND ANY COST OF DAMAGES TO THE
COMPRESSED GAS TRAILERS PROVIDED BY MEMC. CLAIMS FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SHALL NOT BE RECOGNIZED AGAINST EITHER PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, FOR ANY REASON. 
 8.3 Following transfer of title of the STF to MEMC, MEMC assumes all risk of and liability for any loss, damage or injury to persons or property which
may result from MEMC’s 

  

 14

storage, handling, transportation, resale or use of the STF, whether it is stored, handled, transported, sold, or used singly, in combination with other
substances, or otherwise. PCS shall not be liable to MEMC for damage to persons or property resulting from MEMC’s use of the STF, whether that use shall involve manufacturing processes, or combining the STF with other substances, or otherwise.

 9. FORCE MAJEURE. Any delays in or failure to perform by either PCS or MEMC shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder or
give rise to any claims for damages if and to the extent that such delay or failure is caused by occurrences beyond the reasonable control of the Party affected, included but not limited to, acts of God or the public enemy; expropriation or
confiscation of facilities; compliance with any governmental allocation, functional divestiture law or rationing program or any other regulation, rule, order or request of any governmental authority (whether valid or invalid), acts of war, rebellion
or sabotage or damage resulting therefrom; embargoes or other import or export restrictions; fires, storms, floods, explosions, accidents or breakdowns; riots or strikes or other concerted acts of workers, whether direct or indirect; or any other
causes whether or not of the same class or kind as those specifically above named which are not within the reasonable control of the Party affected and which, by the exercise of reasonable diligence, said Party is unable to prevent or provide
against (any such event referred to as “event of force majeure”). The Party asserting that an event of force majeure has occurred shall give notice and full particulars in writing to the other Party as soon as possible. If an event of
force majeure prevents PCS’s delivery or MEMC’s acceptance of STF, performance by the Party affected shall be excused during the continuation of the event of force majeure and the other Party shall send written notice to the affected Party
of the reduction in the quantity of STF specified in this Agreement by the amount which cannot be delivered or received. Neither PCS nor MEMC shall be required to settle strikes, differences with workers or government claims by acceding to any
demands when in the discretion of the Party whose performance is interfered with, it would be inadvisable to accede to such demands.  
 10.
TAXES AND GOVERNMENTAL CHARGES. Any existing tax, excise or governmental charge imposed, or any increase in or any new or additional such tax or charge imposed after the date of this Agreement, other than taxes on
or measured by income of PCS Sales, upon the sale, shipment, delivery, use, storage or consumption of the STF sold under this Agreement which is imposed by any federal, state or local authorities and which becomes assessed upon and payable as to the
STF delivered to MEMC under the terms of this Agreement, shall be paid by MEMC in addition to the price paid for STF as set forth in Section 4.1 of this Agreement. 
 11. INDEMNIFICATION. Notwithstanding the indemnity obligations in Sections 3.10 and 6.4, it is understood and agreed that MEMC shall indemnify and defend PCS and its directors,
officers, employees, contractors and agents, from any liability (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) for any loss, damage or injury to persons or property which may result from (a) MEMC’s breach of this Agreement, or
(b) following transfer of title of the STF to MEMC, MEMC’s storage, handling, transportation, resale or use of the STF, whether it is stored, handled, transported, sold, or used singly, in combination with other substances, or otherwise.
It is also understood and agreed that PCS shall indemnify and defend MEMC and its directors, officers, employees, contractors and agents, from any liability (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) for any loss, damage or injury to persons or
property which may result from the breach of PCS’s representations, warranties, and covenants in this Agreement. 
  

 15

 REDACTED VERSION 
  

 12. PRODUCT SAFETY. In connection with the delivery of the STF, PCS shall furnish to MEMC a Material
Safety Data Sheet (“MSDS”) containing all warnings and all safety and health information concerning the STF delivered. MEMC agrees to disseminate such MSDS information it receives from PCS to such entities and persons as MEMC reasonably
foresees may be exposed to the STF, including but not limited to MEMC employees, agents, contractors and customers. 
 13. CREDIT. Payment of
sums due shall be made upon terms set forth in this Agreement. PCS may recover for each delivery hereunder as a separate transaction, without reference to any other delivery. If PCS reasonably concludes that MEMC is in unsound financial condition
and has notified MEMC of such conclusion and the Parties have negotiated in good faith for at least ten (10) business days to remedy such conclusion, or if MEMC is in material default with respect to any of the material terms and conditions of
this Agreement or the terms of PCS’s credit application, PCS shall forthwith have the right to demand cash payment or additional financial assurance until such time as said credit has been reestablished or material default cured to PCS’s
satisfaction. 
 14. DISPUTES. 
 Except for payment of monies due and owing hereunder, for which the Parties may seek immediate legal remedies and take any and all other actions allowed under this Agreement, prior to initiating any legal or other action or proceeding
against the other, the Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any controversy or claim arising from or relating to this Agreement promptly by negotiations between the respective representatives of the Parties. The disputing Party shall give
the other Party written notice of the dispute. Within twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice, the receiving Party shall submit a written response to the other Party. The notice and response shall include a statement of each Party’s
position and arguments supporting its position. The representatives shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place within thirty (30) days after the date of the disputing Party’s notice and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem
necessary to exchange relevant information and to attempt to resolve the dispute. If the matter has not been resolved through negotiation within sixty (60) days after the date of the disputing Party’s notice, or if either Party will not
meet with the other Party within thirty (30) days after the date of the disputing Party’s notice, then either Party may take such action or inaction as it deems appropriate. All deadlines specified herein may be extended by mutual
agreement of the Parties. 
 15. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. PCS agrees that it will not disclose to any third party the existence of or the
detail of this Agreement and any trade secrets or other proprietary information it obtains with respect to MEMC (including, without limitation, the MEMC STF Technology) during or after the term of this Agreement except as expressly permitted
hereunder, and that it will treat all such information as confidential and will use such information only for carrying out the purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that PCS will not be obligated to treat as confidential any
information that is (a) acquired by PCS that is either known to the general public or to the industry, or known to, or in the possession of, PCS prior to disclosure by MEMC, (b) disclosed as required by law, or (c) independently
developed. The confidentiality obligations of PCS hereunder shall continue during the term of this Agreement and for a period of ten (10) years after termination.
