 ARTICLE III 
 QUANTITY 
  
 SECTION 3.1 Requirements.
Subject to the further provisions of this Agreement, 
  
 (a)
During the Year 2005 and for the remainder of the Term, Buyer shall purchase and receive from Seller and Seller shall sell and deliver to Buyer *** percent (***%) of Buyer’s requirements for PVC resin at its Facilities whose total Requirements
for PVC resin will equal *** pounds as further set forth in Exhibit 3.1(a). 
  
 SECTION 3.2 Seller’s Obligation to Supply Any Increase in Requirements. 
  
 (a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.3, beginning in Year 2005, Buyer’s Requirements under this Agreement shall include, subject to
the further provisions of this Section 3.2, all or any additional quantities of Product which Buyer may require resulting from (i) expansion of Buyer’s Facilities, being supplied by Seller under this Agreement, by installation of new production
facilities or processes, (ii) modernization debottlenecking, installation or implementation of process improvements, or other similar modifications to Buyer’s Facilities being supplied by Seller under this Agreement (such additional quantities
of Product described by the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Expansion Quantity”), and (iii) Buyer’s acquisition, directly or indirectly from any other Person of equipment, plants, business, properties or other assets
for the production of PVC pipe, the operation of which requires Product (the “Acquisition Quantity”). 
  
 (b) After 2005 Seller is obligated to supply additional Expansion Quantities up to five percent (5%) greater than the prior Year’s Requirement
(“5% Expansion Quantity”). If in any Year Buyer’s Expansion Quantity is less than the 5% Expansion Quantity, the difference shall not carry forward into subsequent Years. Buyer shall notify Seller of actions to be taken by Buyer that
will require Expansion Quantity. Seller shall have the option, but not the obligation, to supply Expansion Quantity in excess of the 5% Expansion Quantity (“Excess Expansion Quantity”). Buyer shall use its best efforts to advise Seller of
its Expansion Quantity and Excess Expansion Quantity at least twelve (12) months prior to the need for Expansion Quantity or Excess Expansion Quantity as soon as Buyer is permitted to do so without violating contracts with third parties or its legal
obligations. Seller will advise Buyer within sixty (60) days of receipt of such notice of whether or not it will supply the Excess Expansion Quantity. If Seller 

  

 3 








 
does not elect to supply the Excess Expansion Quantity, the parties shall meet to attempt to agree on a mutually acceptable method for Buyer to obtain the
Excess Expansion Quantity. In the event that the parties are unable to agree on such a method, Buyer shall be free for a period from the commencement of its need for Excess Expansion Quantity to the end of the second full Year thereafter, to
purchase Product from a third party in quantities that are commercially reasonable up to an amount so that Buyer’s Requirement is not below its Requirement for the Year preceding the commencement of its need for Excess Expansion Quantity. Buyer
shall have the right to accomplish the purchase of Product from a third party by removing from this Agreement one or more of its Facilities being supplied by Seller under this Agreement. In that event, the parties shall meet to mutually agree on
which Facility or Facilities should be removed from this Agreement, taking into consideration the impact on both the Seller and the Buyer. At the end of the period that Buyer is permitted to purchase such Product from a third party, the amount of
Product being so purchased shall become Expansion Quantity subject again to the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 (c) Buyer shall notify Seller of any transaction that will result in Acquisition Quantity as soon as Buyer is permitted to do so without violating
contracts with third parties or its legal obligations. In the event that Buyer can terminate any contracts with third parties to supply the Acquisition Quantity without a breach or other cost or expense, Seller shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to elect to supply the Acquisition Quantity under this Agreement: provided, however, in no event will the terms under which Buyer is obligated to purchase the Acquisition Quantity from Seller be any less favorable than those under which
the third party is supplying the Acquisition Quantity. Seller shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice to elect to supply such Acquisition Quantity under the terms set forth above. If Seller does not elect to supply such Acquisition
Quantity or if Seller does not have the right to supply such Acquisition Quantity, Buyer shall be free to contract with a third party to supply the Acquisition Quantity for a period from commencement of its need for Acquisition Quantity to the end
of the second full Year thereafter, at which time, the Acquisition Quantity shall again become Acquisition Quantity subject to the terms of this Agreement.

resolution of the disputed amount of the invoice. 
  
 (d) Any
payments not timely made by Buyer pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement (other than payments being disputed in good faith by Buyer as aforesaid) will accrue interest at a rate per annum of Prime plus two (2) percent (but in no event more than
the maximum rate permitted by applicable law) from the date such payment shall have become due up to the date of actual payment thereof, and Buyer shall pay such interest to Seller within ten (10) days of Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s
invoice for such charges. 
  
 ARTICLE VI 
 DELIVERY 
  
 SECTION 6.1 Method of Delivery. Product shall be delivered F.O.B. to the Delivery Points by railcars owned or leased by Seller. By written

 6 








 SECTION 6.2 Monthly Delivery Instruction. By the fifteenth (15th) day of each month, Buyer shall furnish to Seller in writing a good faith estimate of the quantities of Product (reasonably
consistent with the Requirements) to be delivered to the Buyer’s Facilities during each of the next three (3) months and such instructions and estimates for the month immediately following such notice shall be final and binding unless
subsequently modified by agreement of the parties. The parties shall cooperate reasonably to distribute deliveries of Product in approximately equal monthly quantities during each Year, provided that Buyer and Seller will use reasonable efforts to
accommodate other delivery patterns of Buyer and Seller. 
  
 SECTION 6.3 Title and Risk of Loss of Product. Until Buyer withdraws Product from consignment, title and ownership of Product shall at all times remain with Seller, but Buyer shall have the right to withdraw Product by moving,
preparing or otherwise dealing with the Product in connection with its use by Buyer to manufacture its products at the facilities referenced in Exhibit 3.1 (a) (the “ Delivery Point(s)”). Once Buyer withdraws the Product from consignment
for any reason, Buyer shall be deemed to have purchased such Product, and title and ownership of such Product shall pass to Buyer. 
  
 SECTION 6.4 Weights. Seller’s weights and measures shall govern except in case of proven error. 
  
 ARTICLE VII 
 ALLOCATION 
  
 SECTION 7.1 Allocation: During the time when the demand for Product exceeds Seller’s supply, Seller may allocate its available supply of Product among Seller’s pre-existing written contract customers and
Seller’s internal uses in such manner as Seller deems fair and reasonable taking into account that Buyer is purchasing ***% of its Requirements for Product from Seller and Buyer’s previous history of forecasting and purchases. Such
allocation shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement. It is not Seller’s intent to unreasonably exercise this right of allocation or to give an unfair preference to Seller’s internal uses. In the event of allocation pursuant to this
Section, the parties shall meet to attempt to agree on a mutually acceptable method for Buyer to replace the Product that will not be supplied by Seller as a result of such allocation. In any case, during such allocation, Buyer may purchase any
shortfall of Product from third parties and such purchase shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE VIII 
 WARRANTIES 
  
 SECTION 8.1 Seller’s and Buyer’s Warranties.
SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY IS THAT THE PRODUCT COMPLIES WITH THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL SPECIFICATIONS SET FORTH IN EXHIBIT A TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT SELLER SHALL CONVEY TITLE THERETO FREE OF ANY LIENS OR ENCUMBRANCES AND THAT
THE MANUFACTURE OF THE PRODUCT DOES NOT INFRINGE ANY VALID CLAIM OF ANY UNITED STATES OR CANADIAN PATENT. SELLER MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO ITS RECOMMENDATIONS, INSTRUCTIONS, OR 

  

 7 








 
OTHERWISE AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, WHETHER OF MERCHANTABILITY, SUITABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE. Buyer
warrants and covenants that (a) the Product is being purchased only for Buyer’s use or consumption and will not be resold or otherwise transferred, (b) Buyer’s handling, use or consumption of the Product will not infringe any valid claim
of any United States or Canadian patent, (c) Buyer will not use, consume or combine the Product for end uses intended to be toxic or lethal to humans, (d) Buyer has, and will use, the requisite expertise, personnel and equipment to handle, store,
transport, use, consume and dispose of the Product (i) in compliance with all applicable laws and governmental regulations, actions, orders, decrees and requests, and (ii) in a manner so that the Product will not be injurious to any person or the
environment, and (e) Buyer will promptly and carefully inspect the Product upon receipt. 
  
 SECTION 8.2 Patents. Seller’s recommendations or instructions are not intended to suggest operations which would infringe any patents and Seller assumes no liability to Buyer of any kind or
responsibility for any such infringement. 
  
 SECTION 8.3
Uses and Safe Handling. Buyer hereby acknowledges receipt of Seller’s material safety data sheet with respect to the Product. Buyer shall maintain prudent safe handling and use procedures. Buyer will apprise its employees, contractors
and customers of the hazards, proper use and handling requirements of the Product and shall comply with all applicable statutes, rules and regulations pertaining thereto. 
  
 SECTION 8.4 Claims; Liability. Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all claims with respect to any Product
sold hereunder for which Buyer’s notice of insufficient quality has not been given to Seller in writing within ninety (90) days of Buyer’s receipt of such Product. Any such claim which is not asserted as a claim, counterclaim, and defense
or set-off in a judicial proceeding instituted within two (2) years after the cause of action arises shall be forever waived, barred and released. Buyer’s exclusive remedy, and Seller’s and its affiliates’ sole liability, for any
shortfall in delivery of Product or failure of any Product to meet the specifications in Exhibit A, including but not limited to claims for breach of warranty, shall be limited, at Seller’s sole option, to (a) payment to Buyer of the difference
in the then current market value cost to replace such Product over the Final Price of such Product, or (b) Seller’s replacement of the Product in respect of which a valid claim is made. In the event of a material breach by either party, the
parties will meet to discuss how to address the material breach in a manner that is fair and reasonable and reduces the financial impact on the non breaching party. This could include, but not be limited to, having Buyer purchase Product from a
third party on a contract basis, or Seller selling Product to a third party on a contract basis. In no event shall either party or their affiliates be liable for indirect, punitive, consequential, special, incidental or contingent damages, costs of
litigation or for loss of business or business opportunities based upon a breach of warranty claim. 
  
 ARTICLE IX 
 TAXES 
  
 SECTION 9.1 Responsibility for Taxes. In addition to the Final
Price, Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount of all federal, state and local governmental taxes, excises, duties, and/or other charges (including, without limitation, sales and use taxes, Superfund Taxes, taxes on 

  

 8 








 
gasoline blend stocks and additives, and excepting franchise or ad valorem taxes or taxes on or measured by net income) that Seller may be required to pay
with respect to the purchase, exchange, manufacture, production, or sale of Product sold and delivered hereunder. Such charges shall be added to Seller’s invoice as a separate line item and shall be paid by Buyer as provided in Section 5.2.
Retroactive charges (including interest at the then current prime rate thereon for which Seller is liable) may be added to an invoice in the event that subsequent to the original invoice, a law, regulation, ruling or determination of a taxing
authority has caused Seller to be liable for such tax (and penalties and interest, if any). 
  
 ARTICLE X 
 LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY 
  
 SECTION 10.1 Allocation of Liability. 
  
 (a) Subject to the further provisions of this paragraph, Buyer assumes full
responsibility for any liability arising out of the receipt, unloading, discharge, storage, handling, use and disposal of any conforming Product purchased hereunder (including non-conforming Product which was accepted by waiving specifications prior
to delivery), including the use of such Product alone or in combination with other substances and compliance or non-compliance with any law or regulations relating thereto. Buyer agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold Seller harmless from and
against any and all claims, actions, liability, loss, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) for damages to any private or public property or resources, personal injury or death, fines or penalties, made against or incurred by
Seller relating to any conforming Product purchased hereunder (including non-conforming Product which was accepted by waiving specifications prior to delivery) or the performance of Buyer, or by the agents, servants, employees or contractors of
Buyer, in any way caused by acts or omissions occurring at the time of or subsequent to the delivery of Product to Buyer hereunder, or in any way arising out of violations of any federal, state or local statute or governmental rule or regulation by
Buyer or its agents, servants, employees or contractors. It is the express intention of the parties that the indemnity provided for in this paragraph shall require Buyer to indemnify Seller as provided above except to the extent, on a comparative
basis, that the actionable negligence of Seller, or its agents, servants, employees or contractors is the sole or a concurring cause of the injury or other damages alleged. 
  
 (b) Seller agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold Buyer harmless from and against any and all claims, actions,
liability, loss, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) for damages to any private or public property or resources, personal injury or death, fines or penalties, made against or incurred by Buyer relating to Product sold or the
performance of Seller hereunder, or by the agents, servants, employees or contractors of Seller, in any way caused by acts or omissions occurring prior to the delivery of Product to Buyer hereunder, or in any way arising out of violations of any
federal, state or local statute or governmental rule or regulation by Seller or its agents, servants, employees or contractors. It is the express intention of the parties that the indemnity provided for in this paragraph shall require Seller to
indemnify Buyer as provided above, except to the extent, on a comparative basis, that the actionable negligence of Buyer, or its agents, servants, employees or contractors is the sole or a concurring cause of the injury or other damages alleged.

 ARTICLE XI 
 EXCUSE OF PERFORMANCE 
  
 SECTION 11.1 Force Majeure: Performance of any obligation under this Agreement (other than to make a payment when due) may be suspended by either party without liability to the other party, to the extent that such failure to
perform is attributable to: an Act of God, war, riot, fire, explosion, accident, flood, sabotage, mechanical breakdown, cancellation of any permit or license or plant shutdown that is beyond a party’s reasonable control; Seller’s inability
to obtain fuel, power, raw materials or equipment from its usual sources at prices it deems, in good faith, to be reasonable (a price that allows Seller to manufacture and sell Product above its variable costs); labor trouble, strike, lockout or
injunction (whether or not such labor event is within the reasonable control of such party); governmental laws, regulations or orders; or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of such party that delays, prevents, restricts, limits, or
renders commercially infeasible or impractical, the performance of this Agreement or the consumption, sale or use of the Product, except as to Product already in transit (“Force Majeure Event”). A Force Majeure Event shall also include a
party’s suspension of operation or closure of a Facility that produces or consumes Product because the operation of or product from that Facility fails to comply with, or becomes uneconomical because of compliance with, any applicable law or
governmental regulation, order, decree or request. The affected party shall invoke this provision by promptly giving written notice to the other party of the nature and estimated duration and effect of the Force Majeure Event. The total purchase and
sales Requirement hereunder shall be reduced by the quantity not delivered because of the Force Majeure Event, and this Agreement shall otherwise remain unaffected. In the event that that Force Majeure is expected to last more than one hundred
eighty (180) consecutive days the parties will meet to discuss how to address the Force Majeure Event in a manner that is fair and reasonable and reduces the financial impact on the party receiving the notice. This could include, but not be limited
to, having Buyer purchase Product from a third party on a contract basis, or Seller selling Product to a third party on a contract basis. In any case during a period of Force Majeure (i) suspending Seller’s obligation to provide Buyer with its
Requirement, Buyer may purchase any shortfall of Product from third parties and such purchase shall not been deemed to be a breach of this Agreement or (ii) impacting Buyer’s Requirements, Buyer may reduce its Product purchases and such
reduction shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement. 
  
 A party shall not be required to remove or cure any Force Majeure Event if that removal or cure would involve additional expense or departure from its normal practices. If there is a Force Majeure Event, the affected party shall allocate
its sales and purchases in a fair and reasonable manner that shall include its internal demands or supply. 
  
 ARTICLE XII

information that is substantially the same as the obligation of confidentiality contained in this Section 12.4, or (v) any information that shall be required to be disclosed by or on behalf of a party as a result of any applicable law, rule or
regulation of any governmental authority having competent jurisdiction, provided, that such party shall give the other party thirty (30) day’s prior written notice before making any such disclosure in accordance with the provisions of
this clause (v) and such party uses its best efforts not to disclose the terms and provisions of Article III-Quantity, Article IV-Term, or Article V-Price. Seller acknowledges that Buyer is required pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, each as amended, to file this Agreement as a exhibit to its annual or quarterly filings, and Seller waives any notice form Buyer under this Section with regard thereto.
