 THIS AGREEMENT (“Contract”) is entered into as of the Effective Date by and between: 

INDUSTRIAL FURNACE COMPANY, INC., a New York corporation, having a principal place of business at 40 Humboldt Street, Rochester, New York, 14609 (together with
its successors and assigns permitted under this Contract, “Seller”); and 
 RED RIVER ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCTS, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company having a principal place of business at 8100 SouthPark Way, Unit B, Littleton, Colorado 80120 (together with its successors and assigns permitted under this Contract, “Purchaser”). Purchaser and Seller are referred
to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”. 
 Recitals 
 Seller is engaged in the business of manufacturing, delivering, erecting, and commissioning various kinds of multi-hearth furnace (“MHF”) equipment and
of providing services and training in support of the installation and use thereof. 
 Purchaser desires to purchase, and Seller desires to sell, one
(1) of four (4) multi-hearth furnaces and associated equipment, together with certain installation support and training services in connection with Purchaser’s project (“Project”) located on the south side of Parish
Road 604 in Armistead, Red River Parish, Louisiana, (“Site”) all subject to the terms set forth herein. 
 This Contract is one (1) of
four (4) contracts, each for a separate multi-hearth furnace, which taken as a whole provide for the four (4) multi-hearth furnaces to be installed as part of the Project (collectively, the “Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts”).

 Purchaser has appointed its EPC contractor, BE&K Construction Company, LLC as its representative for purposes of administering this Contract on behalf
of Purchaser. 
 Therefore, in consideration of the premises and promises stated herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the
Parties agree as follows: 
 Definitions 
 Defined terms are in Attachment 1 (“Defined Terms”). 
 Articles 
 Article 1. Scope of Supply 
 Certain Seller Obligations.
Seller shall manufacture, deliver, install, startup, test, and commission the Equipment and perform the associated Services as more fully described in Attachment 2 (“Technical Requirements”), subject to the terms and conditions in this
Contract. The “Equipment” includes one Unit that shall be the first multi-hearth furnace to be installed at the Project (“Unit #1”). All Work shall be performed in strict accordance with this Contract. The Work to
be performed by Seller is that Work specifically set forth in this Contract and the work necessarily incidental thereto. Except as otherwise provided in this Contract, Seller shall supply, at its own cost, all equipment, materials, labor and any
other supplies, equipment or services (other than those obligations to be 

  

 Page 1 of 40 








 
performed by or on behalf of Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Contract, including supplying those Certain Purchaser Test Obligations) necessary to
properly perform the Work. Any quantity, list, division or classification of Work in any of the plans or drawings is furnished only to facilitate the Work and does not limit Seller’s obligations hereunder. Seller shall check all such
information and satisfy itself that it is correct. In no event shall Purchaser’s review or comment relieve Seller of its responsibilities. 
 Seller
shall at its expense comply with all of its obligations under the Contract Documents and shall provide everything required of it for the execution of the Work including, but not limited to, home office support, insurance, technical field assistance,
engineering, fabrication, manufacturing, transportation, installation, drawings and documentation, operations and maintenance manuals, start-up services, commissioning, and performance testing unless explicitly excluded or limited in this Contract.
Seller shall perform and execute the terms of this Contract as an independent contractor, and Seller acknowledges that Seller is not and shall not be, nor shall it act or hold itself out as an agent or employee of Purchaser or EPC Contractor
pursuant to this Contract. As, and to the extent, the Parties may desire, Seller may be designated an agent of Purchaser pursuant to a separate agency agreement between the Parties. Seller shall be solely responsible for all construction means,
methods, techniques, sequences, procedures, training and startup in connection with the performance of the Work, except as otherwise required hereunder (e.g., Seller shall comply with EPC Contractor’s Project safety program). Seller recognizes
that the Work is part of the larger Project and Seller has included in the Contract Price all costs for complying with Site requirements set forth in Attachment 16 (“Site Requirements”) and EPC Contractor’s safety requirements
(BE&K Safety and Health Procedures, Sept 2003) provided to Seller by Purchaser prior to the Effective Date. Seller shall prepare and submit to Purchaser written monthly progress reports in form and substance substantially similar to reports
prepared by Seller for other projects similar to the Project and reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser; provided, however, that such reports may be consolidated with similar reports prepared in connection with one or more of the other Multi-Hearth
Furnace Contracts related to the Units. Seller shall at all times keep the Site free from unreasonable accumulation its waste materials or rubbish. As soon as practicable after the completion of the Work on Site, Seller shall remove all waste
material and rubbish from and around the Site, and Seller shall also remove all of its construction and installation equipment and materials not required to complete Seller’s obligations to Purchaser under the other Multi-Hearth Furnace
Contracts. 
 Certain Purchaser Obligations. Purchaser shall provide (or cause to be provided) at the Site: (a) suitable roads, access,
egress, laydown and storage areas for the Equipment and other Work, and parking all as more particularly described in Attachment 17 (“Site Layout”), and (b) water, electric power, and other utilities all as more particularly described
in Attachment 18 (“Description of Water, Electric Power and Other Utilities Required by Seller”). Furthermore, if in performance of the Work Seller encounters unknown and concealed subsurface conditions at the Site which are inconsistent
with and not reasonably inferable from the information provided by or on behalf of Purchaser to Seller concerning the Site or surrounding areas, then notice of such conditions shall be promptly given to Purchaser by Seller. If such conditions are,
in fact, of such nature so as to materially and adversely affect the performance by Seller of its obligations under this Contract, then Seller will be entitled to equitable adjustment in the Contract Price or the Project Schedule, or both in
accordance with Article 19. In addition, if part of the Work depends upon proper execution or results of other work to be 

  

 Page 2 of 40 








 
performed by Purchaser, EPC Contractor, or anyone under the direction or control of either, Purchaser shall cause such work to be performed correctly and in
a manner so as not to impede Seller’s progress in the Work pursuant to a Change Order executed in accordance with Article 19. 
 Hazardous
Materials. Purchaser, at its sole cost and without cost or liability to Seller, shall remove and dispose of any Hazardous Materials that are identified at the Site by Seller in performing the Work except for Hazardous Materials that were
brought onto the Site by Seller, its Subcontractors or any other person or entity performing Work on behalf of Seller, in which case Seller, at its sole cost and without cost or liability to Purchaser, shall remove and dispose of such Hazardous
Materials. “Hazardous Materials” means any substance or material that is, or may become, dangerous or harmful to the health and welfare of life or the physical environment that is included within the definitions of “hazardous
substances”, “hazardous waste”, “hazardous materials”, “toxic substances”, “hazardous pollutants” or “toxic pollutants” in any environmental or other federal, state or local Applicable Legal
Requirements. 
 Article 2. Contract Price 
 Purchaser
shall pay to Seller the fixed-price Contract Price in the amount of * in full payment and consideration for the Work and the performance by Seller of its obligations under this Contract. All pricing information provided is in U.S. dollars. The
Contract Price is subject to adjustment in accordance with Article 3 and the other terms of this Contract. Payment shall be made in accordance with the payment terms and conditions set forth in Article 4 and in accordance with the Schedule of Values
set forth in Attachment 3. 
 Article 3. Project Security and Favored Customer Status 
 Project Security. On or before the date of Financial Close for the Project, Seller shall furnish a separate performance and payment bond (the “Bond”) in an amount equal to the total
Contract Price and otherwise in form and substance substantially similar to the forms of bond set forth in Attachment 13 (“Form of Performance/Payment Bond”). The Bond shall secure performance by Seller (other than for the portion of the
Work constituting design services and any warranty and Performance Guarantees) of all of its obligations under this Contract to cause Unit #1 to achieve Substantial Completion as provided in Article 10 herein and shall also secure payment by Seller
of each Subcontractor performing work with respect to Unit #1. The Bond applicable to Unit #1 shall only secure performance with respect to Unit #1. The Contract Price includes * in respect of this Bond. If Seller is unable to obtain or maintain the
Bond, then Purchaser may terminate this Contract in whole or in part for such inability by Seller pursuant to this Article 3 and such termination shall be Purchaser’s sole remedy in such event. If Purchaser terminates this Contract pursuant to
this Article 3, then Purchaser shall also be entitled to terminate all of the other Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts pursuant to Article 3 thereunder. If Purchaser terminates any of the other Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts pursuant to Article 3
thereunder, then Purchaser shall also be entitled to terminate this Contract pursuant to Article 3 hereunder. 
 At any time following the Unit Installation
Completion Date, Purchaser may direct or approve, by written notice to Seller, a reduction in amount or termination of the Bond for Unit #1 so as to facilitate the issuance or enhancement of performance security provided by or on behalf of Seller
under the other Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts.

 Any termination of this Contract by Purchaser under this Article 3 shall be effective upon receipt by Seller of written
notice thereof. Upon receipt of such termination notice, Seller shall cease (and not merely suspend) performance of the Work. In the event of termination under this Article 3, Seller shall be entitled to the following payments: 
  

	 	(i)	the reimbursable costs, if any, incurred through the effective date of termination which have not yet been reimbursed by Purchaser, and 

  

	 	(ii)	all amounts outstanding under Article 4 and not yet paid for achievement of Milestones and/or progress payments and for Work performed, including work-in-progress at the time of
termination, so long as such work-in-progress is made available to Purchaser. 

 In addition to the above payments in this Article 3, Seller
shall be entitled to keep all funds previously paid by Purchaser under this Contract in accordance with Article 4 for Work performed prior to termination, and such amounts together with the above payments shall constitute payment in full of the
Contract Price, and Seller shall receive no further payments under this Contract. Seller shall calculate amounts due pursuant to this Article 3 and submit such calculation to Purchaser within thirty (30) days of termination together with
documentation substantiating all costs, which amounts will be subject to audit by Purchaser. In no event shall Seller be entitled to lost profits, opportunity costs or other amounts with respect to Work that has not been performed prior to
termination under this Article 3. Payments resulting from this termination (or any portion thereof) will be made by Purchaser within thirty (30) days following a correct invoice therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation in support
thereof. Purchaser shall own, and have salvage rights to, all materials and other Work to the extent that Purchaser has paid for the same, and Seller shall make such materials reasonably accessible to Purchaser or deliver to Purchaser, at
Purchaser’s option, any materials or Work paid for by Purchaser but in the possession of Seller or its Subcontractors promptly after termination under this Article 3. In addition, Seller shall assign to Purchaser any or all of its contracts
with Subcontractors relating to the Work (including, but not limited to, any warranties relating to equipment or materials previously supplied by such Subcontractor) as and to the extent requested in writing by Purchaser. Notwithstanding termination
hereunder, the Parties shall remain liable to each other for liabilities that have accrued under other terms of this Contract prior to such termination, and the Parties shall remain obligated and liable for obligations under this Contract that by
their express terms survive termination, but only to the extent applicable. The Parties recognize, agree and acknowledge that Purchaser’s termination right hereunder is a permitted action under this Contract and not a breach hereof or a default
hereunder. 
 Within ten (10) Business Days following the execution of this Contract by both Parties, Purchaser shall furnish a guaranty by Owner, in
form and substance substantially similar to the Form of Parent Guaranty set forth in Attachment 14, whereby Owner shall guarantee Purchaser’s financial obligations to Seller pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Contract (“Parent
Guaranty”); provided, however, that such Parent Guaranty shall expire, and neither Purchaser nor Owner shall thereafter be required to provide security hereunder for the benefit of Seller upon the date of Financial Close for the Project.

 Seller shall provide a level of service to Purchaser consistent
with and reasonably no less than the level of services provided to Seller’s other customers for Seller’s services. Furthermore, upon Purchaser’s request and to the extent necessary considering the Project Schedule and the general
progress of the Work, Seller shall make Bill Mansfield and Bill Lill available to the Project for up to three and one-half (3  1/2) days a week for the Work until Unit Installation for all four (4) of the Units has been achieved. Seller also agrees to give Purchaser a priority to use Seller’s capacity during the term of this Contract and each of the other
Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts *. Purchaser and Seller shall have up to seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such written notice from one Party to the other to determine if the Parties will negotiate in good faith to supply such additional
multi-hearth furnace(s) to Purchaser. If the Parties so agree, they shall thereafter negotiate in good faith the agreement for the additional multi-hearth furnace(s). * 
 Article 4. Payments and Liens 
 Contract Price. Purchaser shall pay the Contract Price to Seller in the
manner and at the times specified in this Article 4, and Seller shall accept such payment of the Contract Price by Purchaser (exclusive of taxes and other governmental charges, for which Purchaser is responsible as provided in Article 17) for the
Work to be performed and all materials to be delivered hereunder, which Contract Price shall only be subject to additions and deductions by Change Orders as provided in Article 19 of this Contract. 
 Schedule of Values. The Schedule of Values included as Attachment 3 will serve as the basis for progress payments; provided, however, that Purchaser shall
withhold * percent (*%) from each payment as retainage until Substantial Completion is achieved for both Unit #1 and Unit #2. The retainage shall be held by Purchaser as security for performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder and any
interest thereon shall accrue for the account of Purchaser and not Seller. Purchaser shall hold and apply the retainage to cure any Seller defaults, satisfy Seller’s obligation for payment of Liquidated Damages, make payments to remove liens
filed by Subcontractors against Seller or any part of the Project or the Equipment (but not if Seller has provided a lien bond covering the full amount of the lien), and satisfy any and all other payment obligations of Seller under this Contract
related to Unit #1. Upon Substantial Completion for both Unit #1 and Unit #2, all unapplied retainage and other amounts due Seller pursuant to this Contract shall be paid except retainage in an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent
(150%) of the remaining Punch List items for Unit #1 shall continue to be held by Purchaser until such Punch List items have been completed. The retainage amount allocated to each Punch List item shall be paid promptly upon completion of such
Punch List item and submission of an Application for Payment therefor. 
 Application for Payment. Seller shall, on or before the fifth
(5th) day of each calendar month (or the following Business Day), prepare and submit to Purchaser Applications for Payment for the prior calendar month’s Work (each, “Application for Payment”) which shall include:

  

	 	(i)	identification of each completed Milestone identified in Attachment 3 (“Schedule of Values”); 

  

	 	(ii)	description of the applicable Work completed; 

  

	 	(iii)	the total payment sought in the Application for Payment based upon the Schedule of Values, including the appropriate supporting documentation of the foregoing;


  

 Page 5 of 40 









	 	(iv)	partial waivers and releases of liens from Seller and each of its Subcontractors with contracts with Seller having a value of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) or more (each a
“Major Subcontractor”), in each case in the appropriate form set forth in Attachment 5 (“Lien Waiver Forms”); or, if such waiver and release is not provided, a lien bond in the full amount then due under the applicable
Major Subcontractor subcontract; 

  

	 	(v)	tax forms, legible copies of invoices, and such other information Purchaser may require, and which Seller possesses or may reasonably obtain, to support tax exemptions, rebates or
other tax incentive programs for the Project; and 

  

	 	(vi)	such other information reasonably requested by Purchaser. 

 Within ten
(10) Business Days after the receipt of each Application for Payment, Purchaser shall review the Application for Payment to verify: 
  

	 	(i)	completion of the Work for which payment is sought; 

  

	 	(ii)	that the Work conforms to its requirements; 

  

	 	(iii)	that the invoice and supporting documentation have been properly submitted and are accompanied by appropriate waivers and releases of liens (or lien bond) from Seller and applicable
Major Subcontractors in the appropriate form set forth in Attachment 5 (“Lien Waiver Forms”); and 

  

	 	(iv)	that the invoiced amount reflects the value of the Work identified in the Schedule of Values. 

 Upon such verification, Purchaser shall approve the Application for Payment or shall advise Seller if all or any portion of the Application for Payment is not approved. Purchaser shall provide specific reasons for any
disapproval of an Application for Payment or a portion thereof. If Purchaser disputes a portion of an Application for Payment, Purchaser shall nonetheless pay the undisputed portion of the Application for Payment in accordance with this Contract;
provided, however, that Purchaser may withhold a maximum of * of disputed amounts at any one time under this Contract and all of the Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts (collectively), and any disputed amount in excess of * shall nonetheless be paid to
Seller, subject to Purchaser’s ability to recover the applicable portion of such amounts, together with interest to the extent the dispute is resolved in Purchaser’s favor. Disputes involving payments or Applications for Payments will be
handled in accordance with Article 28. 
 Within thirty (30) days after receipt of each Application for Payment, Purchaser shall pay directly to the
account of Seller all amounts properly due and owning in respect of the Application for Payment. 
 If any amounts withheld are subsequently found to have
been due and owing in accordance with this Contract, Purchaser shall pay Seller a late charge on any such amount from the day following the original due date until the date of payment at the Late Payment Rate. If any amounts paid are subsequently
found to have not been due and owing, Seller shall refund such amounts and pay Purchaser an improper payment charge at the Late Payment Rate on any such amount from the day following the date paid to Seller until the date of refund. 
  

 Page 6 of 40 








 Payment of Subcontractors. Seller shall: (a) promptly pay each of its Subcontractors the amount to
which such Subcontractor is entitled; (b) indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser from any loss, cost or expense, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from Seller’s uncured breach of this Article 4; and
(c) by an appropriate agreement with each Subcontractor, require each Subcontractor to make payments to their respective subcontractors in a similar manner. Seller shall cause each Major Subcontractor to provide Purchaser with a lien waiver in
the appropriate form in Attachment 5 (“Lien Waiver Forms”) at the time of each Application for Payment through the last payment received by Seller and upon completion of the Work. In lieu of a lien waiver, Seller may provide a lien bond or
other security reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. Purchaser shall have no obligation to pay or ensure the payment of any monies to any Subcontractor except as may otherwise be required by Applicable Legal Requirements. 
 Effect of Changes in Contract Price. Changes to the Contract Price will be made pursuant to Change Orders in accordance with Article 19. 
 Right of Offset. Either Party shall be entitled at all times to set-off against any amount due to the other Party under this Contract any amount otherwise
due under this Contract. In addition, either Party shall be entitled at all times to set-off against any amount due to the other Party under any Multi-Hearth Furnace Contract any amount otherwise due under this Contract. 
 Conditions for Final Payment. As a condition for Purchaser’s final payment for the Work, Seller shall: (a) submit a final release and lien waiver
in the appropriate form in Attachment 5 (“Lien Waiver Forms”), which release and lien waiver will be conditioned upon receipt of the final payment; (b) provide all final “as-built” drawings, manuals, documentation, and test
reports as specified in Attachment 2 (“Technical Requirements”) and this Contract; (c) provide, or have provided, to Purchaser all spare parts specified in Attachment 19 (“Spare Parts List and Delivery Schedule”), if any;
(d) prepare and submit the final and complete operations and maintenance manual and other submittals specifically required to be submitted; and (e) provide any other deliverables included within the Work that have not been previously
provided. 
 Liens. Provided Purchaser makes all payments when due hereunder and under each of the other Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts,
Seller shall keep Purchaser’s Site and the Project (or any component thereof) free and clear of all claims and encumbrances arising from performance of the Work by Seller or its Subcontractors. Seller shall indemnify and save harmless Purchaser
from all lien claims, demands, cause of action, or suits of any nature to the extent caused by the Services, labor, materials and any other component of the Work furnished by Seller or Subcontractors to the extent Purchaser has paid Seller therefor.
Fully executed partial release and waiver of liens and claims in the forms set forth in Attachment 5 (“Lien Waiver Forms”) shall accompany each Application for Payment. Such partial waiver of liens shall be to the extent of payments made
by Purchaser to Seller with respect to each applicable Major Subcontractor. Prior to final payment Seller shall furnish in the appropriate form in Attachment 5 a good and sufficient waiver of lien from itself and: 
  

	 	(i)	a release of liens and waiver from every Major Subcontractor, or, 

  

	 	(ii)	if any Major Subcontractor refuses to furnish a release and waiver in full, Seller shall, at its own expense, furnish a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser
and EPC Contractor to indemnify Purchaser and EPC Contractor against any claim of lien until the lien is removed or the statutory period to file any action on such lien has expired. 

  

 Page 7 of 40 








 If any claim or lien is asserted by any Subcontractor or any person or entity claiming rights as a result of its
relationship with Seller or any Subcontractor against the Site or the Project (or any component thereof) and Seller does not within a reasonable time remove, satisfy, or otherwise settle or provide reasonable security against such claim or lien,
Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, withhold the full amount of such claim or lien from any amounts due to Seller hereunder (without obligation to satisfy or settle such claim or lien) until such time as such lien or claim is unconditionally
released or Seller satisfies such lien or provides a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. 
 Article 5. Termination for
Convenience 
 Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Contract at any time for its convenience, and termination for convenience shall be
effective upon receipt by Seller of written notice thereof. Upon termination for convenience, Seller shall be entitled to payment as set forth below; provided, however, that prior to the earlier of Financial Close for the Project or
February 28, 2009, total payments due to Seller for all Work performed up to the date of termination shall in no event exceed * percent (*%) of the aggregate Contract Prices of the four (4) Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts plus costs
incurred pursuant to Article 24, if any. Seller shall be entitled (but shall not be obligated) to stop the Work under this Contract and upon such election and the provision of written notice thereof to Purchaser, the Work shall be considered
suspended in accordance with Article 24 below if Purchaser fails to achieve Financial Close before February 28, 2009, in which case: (a) the reasonable costs of suspension as allowed pursuant to Article 24 will be recoverable by Seller,
such costs shall be paid promptly to Seller upon submission of an Application for Payment therefor and such costs shall not be included within the * percent (*%) limit set forth above; and (b) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article
24, Seller shall not be required to resume any Work until it is reasonably assured that Purchaser can pay for such Work. In addition, if Financial Close for the Project has not occurred by April 30, 2009, Seller may terminate this Contract and
the other Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts for its convenience and shall not be required to continue the Work. In such event, Seller shall be entitled to recover all costs as if it had suspended the Work pursuant to Article 24, which shall be paid
promptly to Seller upon submission of an Application for Payment therefor. Notwithstanding the reference to Article 24 in the preceding sentence, such reference is solely with respect to cost recovery, and Purchaser shall not be entitled to the
additional cure periods described in Article 24 for purposes of this Article 5. 
 If the Project Schedule cannot be maintained as a result of the * percent
(*%) limit set forth above, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing as soon as it is aware that additional costs are required to maintain the Project Schedule. Approval to exceed the * percent (*%) limit set forth above or to extend the Project
Schedule will be made solely and promptly by Purchaser in consultation with Seller. In no event shall total payments for Work performed up to the earlier of Financial Close for the Project or February 28. 2009 due to Seller exceed * percent
(*%) of the aggregate Contract Prices of the four (4) Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts, plus costs incurred pursuant to Article 24. If Financial Close for the Project occurs after February 28, 2009, then Seller shall be entitled to an
equitable adjustment of the * percent (*%) limitation described in the preceding sentence as required to maintain the Project Schedule notwithstanding such delay pursuant to a Change Order executed in accordance with Article 19. 
  

 Page 8 of 40 








 In the event of termination for convenience and subject to the limitation above on spending prior to Financial Close for
the Project, Seller shall be entitled to the following payments: 
  

	 	(i)	the reimbursable costs, if any, incurred through the effective date of termination which have not yet been reimbursed by Purchaser, 

  

	 	(ii)	all amounts outstanding under Article 4 and not yet paid for achievement of Milestones and/or progress payments for Work performed or in progress, 

  

	 	(iii)	all necessary and reasonable cancellation charges incurred by Seller in relation to its Subcontractors; provided, however, that Seller has exercised reasonable efforts to minimize
such costs, and 

  

	 	(iv)	reasonably incurred actual costs of demobilization. 

 The
foregoing payments described in clauses (i) to (iv) above are referred to collectively as the “Termination Payments”. 
 In
addition to the above payments upon termination for convenience, Seller shall be entitled to keep all funds previously paid by Purchaser under this Contract in accordance with Article 4 for Work performed prior to termination, and such amounts
together with the above payments shall constitute payment in full of the Contract Price, and Seller shall receive no further payments under this Contract. Seller shall calculate amounts due pursuant to this Article 5 and submit it to Purchaser
within thirty (30) days of termination together with documentation substantiating all costs, which amounts will be subject to audit by Purchaser. In no event shall Seller be entitled to lost profits, opportunity costs or other amounts with
respect to Work that has not been performed prior to termination. Total payments under this Article 5 together with all other payments made under this Contract to Seller prior to termination shall not in any event exceed * percent (*%) of the
Contract Price. Notwithstanding a termination hereunder, the Parties shall remain liable to each other for liabilities that have accrued under other terms of this Contract prior to such termination, and the Parties shall remain obligated and liable
for obligations under this Contract that by their express terms survive termination, but only to the extent applicable. The Parties recognize, agree and acknowledge that Purchaser’s termination right hereunder is a permitted action under this
Contract and not a breach hereof or a default hereunder. Payments resulting from this termination (or any portion thereof) will be made by Purchaser within thirty (30) days following a correct invoice therefor accompanied by reasonable
documentation in support thereof. Purchaser shall own, and have salvage rights to, all materials and other Work to the extent that Purchaser has paid for the same, and Seller shall make such materials reasonably accessible to Purchaser or deliver to
Purchaser, at Purchaser’s option, any materials or Work paid for by Purchaser but in the possession of Seller or its Subcontractors after termination. Termination for cause is addressed in Article 24. In addition, Seller shall assign to
Purchaser any or all of its contracts with Subcontractors relating to the Work (including, but not limited to, any warranties relating to equipment or materials previously supplied by such Subcontractor) as and to the extent requested in writing by
Purchaser.

 The Parties understand and agree that any entitlements accruing to Seller pursuant to this Article 5 are intended and
designed to compensate Seller for its reasonable costs of suspension as to the entire Project and not simply as regards Unit #1, and, therefore, any payments made by Purchaser to Seller under this Article 5 shall not be duplicative of similar
payments made under the other Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts. If Seller elects to terminate this Contract for convenience pursuant to this Article 5, Seller shall simultaneously terminate each of the other Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts pursuant to
Article 5 therein. 
 Article 6. Title Transfer, Delivery, Risk of Loss, Shipment to Storage 
 Passage of Title. Title to each item of Equipment or materials shall be passed to Purchaser upon delivery to the Delivery Point or payment, whichever occurs
first. 
 Delivery and Delivery Point. The “Delivery Point” shall be the location at the Site designated by Purchaser in a
written notice to Seller. Purchaser may change the location of the Delivery Point with Seller’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. “Delivery” shall occur after off-loading the Equipment
at the Delivery Point. Within two (2) Business Days after receipt of written notice from Seller that Equipment has been off-loaded at the Site, Purchaser shall provide written notice to Seller of any rejection of such Equipment, but Seller may
keep such Equipment on site if the reason for the rejection may be corrected or cured during Seller’s performance of the Work. 
 Passage of Risk
of Loss. Seller shall remain responsible for risk of loss or damage to the Equipment and materials incorporated therein until Delivery. Thereafter, the Equipment shall remain in the custody and control of Seller until incorporated into the
Project but shall be covered under Purchaser and/or EPC Contractor’s “All Risk Builder’s Risk” insurance, under which Seller and its applicable Subcontractors shall be additional insureds and who shall receive a waiver of
subrogation thereunder. 
 Shipment to Storage. Seller shall be responsible for all storage costs prior to Delivery except in the case where,
after the Scheduled Ready to Ship (“RTS”) Date (“Scheduled RTS Date”), any part of the Equipment cannot be shipped to the Delivery Point because Purchaser cannot accept delivery due to reasons other than those
caused by Seller. If Purchaser cannot accept delivery after the Scheduled RTS Date, Seller may ship such part of Equipment to storage upon written notice to Purchaser and approval by Purchaser of the proposed storage facility, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. For the purposes of this section, unless otherwise specified herein, the Scheduled RTS Date for any part of the Equipment shall be the date that is four (4) weeks prior to the date for
delivery of such part as is specified in Attachment 3 (“Schedule of Values”). Upon Purchaser’s notice of its ability to accept Delivery of the Equipment, Seller shall resume transportation of the Equipment to the Delivery Point. To
the extent the Equipment or part thereof is placed in storage as provided under this Article after the Scheduled RTS Date, the following conditions shall apply: 
  

	 	(i)	title shall thereupon pass to Purchaser (if it had not already passed) upon arrival at the approved storage facility, but risk of loss shall remain with Seller until Delivery;


  

 Page 10 of 40 









	 	(ii)	any amounts otherwise payable to Seller upon Delivery or title transfer shall be due and payable; and 

  

	 	(iii)	Purchaser shall be responsible for the reasonable storage and maintenance costs and any insurance or other related costs, and Purchaser shall pay such costs (including late payment
charges imposed by the storage provider) on a monthly basis upon submission of Seller’s invoices and reasonable supporting documentation. Seller shall remain responsible for the original shipping costs to the Site but Purchaser shall be
responsible for any additional shipping costs associated with the storage. Storage of Equipment will be so maintained by Seller for up to one (1) year. If storage of Equipment is required beyond one (1) year, the Parties shall negotiate a
mutually agreeable solution to disposition of the Equipment, which disposal will be at Purchaser’s expense. 

 Seller’s
Transportation Service. Except for extra shipping costs incurred as a result of storage, Seller shall provide transportation for the Equipment as a part of this Contract. Seller shall be responsible for all fees and expenses including, but
not limited to, those covering preparation of consular documents, freight, and warehouse-to-warehouse and warehouse-to-Site insurance. In performing such service, Seller will comply with reasonable instructions of Purchaser or, in the absence
thereof, shall act according to its best judgment. Seller shall retain risk of loss for the Equipment during transportation, subject to Articles 20 and 25, and shall be liable or otherwise held responsible for any delay in performance of the
transportation service or arrival of the Equipment, except to the extent such delays are caused by shipment to storage after the Scheduled RTS Date, Purchaser or anyone under its direction or control (other than Seller or its Subcontractors). Claims
by Purchaser for damaged Equipment shall be accompanied by documentation reasonably necessary to substantiate the claim. 
 Article 7. Drawings

 Seller shall furnish PDF files of all plans, drawings, specifications and similar documents delivered by Seller in performing the Work
(“Drawings”) in accordance with the data submittal requirements set forth in Attachment 2 (“Technical Requirements”). Timely submittal of all required data is important for support of overall Project design and
installation schedules. Such Drawings shall be properly identified as directed by Purchaser. All Drawings submitted by Seller shall be first submitted to Purchaser before being submitted in final form to Purchaser. Purchaser may make suggestions
regarding the Drawings, but such review by Purchaser shall not relieve Seller from responsibility for errors or omissions therein. If Purchaser makes any correction, change or suggestion to any Drawing, Purchaser shall return the Drawing to Seller
no later than fourteen (14) days after receipt from Seller. All changes required as a result of errors or omissions shall be made by Seller irrespective of any prior review by Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt the provided Drawings shall be
comparable to those normally supplied by Seller in connection with a new MHF installation. 
 All non-proprietary Drawings prepared by Seller for the Project
and delivered to Purchaser shall be the sole property of Purchaser. Purchaser shall have a royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual license to use all proprietary Drawings solely in connection with the construction, operation and maintenance of the
Project, and Purchaser shall be entitled to share the Drawings with EPC Contractor as required to design and erect any interfacing or connecting structure, piping, electrical raceway, instrumentation or other similar 

  

 Page 11 of 40 








 
appurtenances; provided, however, that EPC Contractor agrees to the same restrictions on use as Purchaser in a writing addressed to Seller and signed by EPC
Contractor. Any disclosure of Confidential Information in the Drawings designated as provided in Article 26 shall be subject to confidentiality provisions at least as strict as those included in Article 26 and in the confidentiality agreement
between the Parties included at Attachment 11 (“Confidentiality Agreement”). Seller shall deliver all Drawings to Purchaser not later than the completion of the Work. 
 During the progress of the Work, Seller shall keep at the Site a record of all Work performed which is different from, or in addition to, that shown on Purchaser’s drawings, a copy of which shall be provided to
Purchaser promptly after their preparation or, if applicable, after their correction or modification. Such changes by Seller shall clearly and accurately show the “as-built” conditions and dimensions of all Equipment. Seller shall deliver
copies of such final “as-built” drawings to Purchaser as requested and as a condition of final payment. 
 All documents used to develop the
Drawings created by Seller and delivered pursuant to this Contract, including, but not limited to, all drafts, studies, work papers, work product, data and information delivered to Purchaser as part of the Work (collectively,
“Materials”) and all of Seller’s copyrights, inventions and other intellectual property interest therein will remain owned solely and exclusively by Seller, and Purchaser shall retain no ownership interest therein, whether or
not the Project is completed, except as specifically provided herein. Seller hereby grants Purchaser a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid-up license to copy, create derivative works of, and transmit all or any part of the delivered
Materials solely in connection with the ownership, financing, operation, maintenance, repair or replacement of the Project, but any disclosure of any of the foregoing delivered Materials designated as Confidential Information in accordance with
Article 26 shall be subject to confidentiality provisions at least as strict as those included in Article 26 and the confidentiality agreement between the Parties included at Attachment 11. Before any of the confidential or proprietary delivered
Materials are disclosed to any person or entity other than Purchaser, EPC Contractor or any lender, such person or entity shall agree to confidentiality terms at least as strict as those included in Article 26.  
 Article 8. Quality 
 Substitution of other items for those specified
in the specifications by brand name is not acceptable unless the term “or approved equal” appears in the specifications or if the specified item is not available on commercially reasonable terms (including, but not limited to, the delivery
schedule for such item). Should Seller wish to substitute items, Seller shall make a written request to Purchaser and will provide data to demonstrate that the substituted item(s) is, in fact, technically equivalent or better and of comparable or
better quality to the specified item. All substituted items must be approved in writing by Purchaser, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Except to the extent Seller would otherwise be entitled to a Change
Order, under no circumstances shall Purchaser’s acceptance or rejection of a Seller’s request for an “approved equal” item result in an increase in the Contract Price, delay in the Project Schedule, or a change in the performance
requirements. Acceptance or rejection of Seller’s request shall be given within seven (7) days of receipt of such request accompanied by supporting data. 
  

 Page 12 of 40 








 Seller shall ensure that the Equipment complies with the standards of quality specified by this Contract or those
customary in the industry if no requirement is specified. Purchaser’s and/or EPC Contractor’s quality surveillance representative shall, upon reasonable prior written notice, be afforded free escorted access during working hours on
reasonable notice to plants of Seller and Seller shall use reasonable efforts to procure a similar right for Purchaser and EPC Contractor and their respective designees for quality surveillance purposes with respect to Seller’s Suppliers of
“non-commodity” items (i.e., refractory, steel shell, and fabricated appurtenances and mechanical equipment, including fans, shaft drives, cyclones, and furnace castings) to monitor compliance with quality requirements. The authorized
quality surveillance representative of Seller, Purchaser, Owner, or EPC Contractor shall adhere to all of Seller’s and its Suppliers’ generally applicable safety and other regulations. Such representatives’ right to inspect, examine
and test the Equipment shall extend through the manufacturing process, the time of shipment, and a reasonable time after arrival at the Delivery Point. Seller’s failure to adhere to the standards of quality required under this Contract shall be
grounds for termination if not cured as required herein. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be solely responsible for the quality standards
activities covering its operations and that of its Suppliers. 
 The making or failure to make an inspection, examination or test of, or payment for, or
acceptance of the Equipment shall in no way relieve Seller from its obligation to conform to all of the requirements of this Contract and shall in no way impair Purchaser’s right to reasonably reject or revoke acceptance of nonconforming
Equipment, or to avail itself of any other remedies to which Purchaser may be entitled under this Contract, notwithstanding Purchaser’s knowledge of the nonconformity, its substantiality or the ease of its discovery; provided, however, that
Purchaser and EPC Contractor shall promptly advise Seller of any such nonconformity of which either becomes aware. 
 If at any time prior to completion of
Performance Testing a problem in the Equipment develops that could potentially delay completion of Performance Testing or give rise to a claim of rejection, and provided that Purchaser or EPC Contractor gives Seller written notice of the
nonconformance or defect promptly after either has actual knowledge of same, Seller shall promptly present a proposal to remedy or fix to such problem and shall promptly implement and diligently pursue a remedy to the problem. An investigation will
promptly be conducted by Purchaser with Seller to determine the actual origin of the problem. Except for those Certain Purchaser Test Obligations, Seller will bear the cost of the repairs, namely, the repair, replacement, removal, disassembly of any
Equipment (but not equipment or systems not part of the Work) and related transportation, reinstallation, reconstruction, re-testing, and re-inspection thereof as may be necessary to correct the nonconformity or defect or demonstrate that the
previously defective Work conforms to the requirements of this Contract (including all labor costs associated therewith), but only to the extent Seller, or its Subcontractors or any other person or entity supplying Equipment or otherwise performing
Work or other activities on behalf of Seller hereunder (collectively, “Seller Parties”) is responsible for the problem. Any repair or work performed by Seller resulting from the responsibility of others besides Seller or the other
Seller Parties (including repair or Work (i) on Equipment within the scope of others’ obligations, (ii) resulting from improper maintenance, misuse or abuse by Purchaser or EPC Contractor, or (iii) otherwise resulting from
circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Seller Parties) shall be considered extra work under this Contract, and Seller shall be reimbursed accordingly pursuant to a Change Order and, if applicable, Seller shall also be entitled to an
equitable adjustment in the Project Schedule.

 Article 9. Schedule and Performance 
 Order Definition Meeting. Seller will schedule an Order Definition Meeting within fifteen (15) days of execution of this Contract. Seller will advise Purchaser of the final Drawing delivery schedule
at the conclusion of the Order Definition Meeting. 
 Project Manager; Notices. No later than the date of the Order Definition Meeting, each
Party will appoint an individual person as its respective Project Manager, who shall be authorized to act on each respective Party’s behalf, and each Party will identify that person to the other Party. Each Party hereby represents to the other
Party that the person so identified will be authorized to act on behalf of each respective Party in matters connected with this Contract; provided, however, that this Contract shall only be amended or supplemented in writing pursuant to a Change
Order, and provided, further, that each Party’s Project Manager shall be the same individual person appointed as Project Manager pursuant to other Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts. 
 All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals or other communications required or permitted to be given under this Contract shall be in writing and addressed to the respective Party’s Project Manager at the
address identified by the Project Manager at the outset of the Project or such other address as a Party may designate to the other by written notice. All notices shall be sufficient if given in writing and delivered personally, the next Business Day
if by overnight courier service with proof of service, or certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid. Notices may be provided by facsimile if subsequently confirmed by another permitted method. Notices are effective upon receipt.

 Schedule and Performance. Seller shall deliver the Drawings and Equipment and complete the Work on or before the mutually agreed upon
delivery and completion dates set forth in Attachment 2 (“Technical Requirements”) and Attachment 6 (“Scheduled Completion Dates”) (each, a “Scheduled Completion Date”). Based on the Scheduled Completion Dates, Seller
will develop a detailed procurement and construction schedule for the Work sufficient to: (a) achieve the key dates set forth in Attachments 2 and 6, (b) support integration with the EPC Contractor’s Project Schedule existing as of
the Effective Date (“EPC Schedule”), and (c) develop a monthly cash flow forecast for the Work based on the Schedule of Values. Such detailed schedule shall be provided to Purchaser within three (3) weeks of the Effective Date.
The Work is part of a larger Project and Seller acknowledges that timely delivery of its Drawings to other contractors of Purchaser is as critical as delivery of the Equipment itself. Seller shall use as much manpower and work as many hours as
necessary to meet the Project Schedule; provided that Seller shall not be obligated to increase the size of its work force by more than ten percent (*%) nor add another shift nor work more than six (*) days a week in order to satisfy such
obligation to meet the Project Schedule. If Seller satisfies its obligation set forth in the preceding sentence but nevertheless fails to meet the Project Schedule, Seller’s aggregate liability hereunder for such delay shall be the Liquidated
Damages, as hereinafter defined. If Purchaser determines that Seller is not on a pace in the Work to meet the Project Schedule, Purchaser may, but shall not be obligated, to direct Seller to reasonably increase the size of its work force by more
than * percent (*%), pursuant to 

  

 Page 14 of 40 








 
the Change Order process in the immediately following paragraph. If Seller is unable to overcome such delay and meet the Project Schedule, whether or not
Purchaser directs Seller to increase the size of its work force pursuant to a Change Order, the Parties understand acknowledge and agree that Purchaser's remedy is limited to the Liquidated Damages described below. Except as specifically permitted
under this Contract, and provided Purchaser pays all disputed amounts as and to the extent required under applicable provisions of Article 4 in each Multi-Hearth Furnace Contract, Seller will not halt, suspend nor stop its Work unless so directed by
Purchaser, notwithstanding the existence of any disputed claims, and Seller acknowledges that any such unexcused action will constitute a deliberate and material breach of this Contract. Purchaser acknowledges that various work stoppages of up to
seven (7) days in the aggregate may be included in the Project Schedule to facilitate overall Project completion and, as long as the overall Project Schedule is maintained, such planned work stoppages do not constitute a breach of this
Contract. 
 In a Change Order, Purchaser may direct Seller to work overtime, or reasonably increase the size of its work force (e.g., by * percent (*%), but
not by adding another shift or working * days a week), and Seller will provide adequate tools, equipment, labor and supervision to support such Work. The Change Order directing such additional Work will include an increase in the Contract Price to
account for such directed change and, if applicable, an equitable adjustment in the Project Schedule. The limitations on working overtime and increasing the size of the work force shall apply to all Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts in the aggregate
(i.e., not more than * percent (*%) under each such Multi-Hearth Furnace Contract). 
 In undertaking to complete the Work within the Project Schedule,
Seller has taken into consideration and made reasonable allowances for hindrances and delays incident to such Work growing out of delays in securing material or workmen. No charge or claim for additional compensation shall be made by Seller for such
hindrances or delays to the extent caused by events other than Force Majeure or Purchaser-initiated Change Orders. 
 To the extent a delay is caused by a
Force Majeure as set forth in Article 20, Seller shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment of the Contract Price, Project Schedule, and/or the other terms of this Contract. If the notice requirements set forth in Article 20 for such an event have
not been met, Seller shall not be entitled to an adjustment to the extent such delay or lack of notice materially prejudices Purchaser. Subject to Article 20, Seller expressly assumes all risk of availability of its normal labor requirements and
unavailability of such labor shall not be a cause for an excusable delay. Any extension granted or other adjustment in a Contract term shall be memorialized by a Change Order. 
 Partial shipments arriving prior to agreed Delivery dates will be allowed, provided that final Delivery is completed for the relevant item by the indicated dates and subject to the proviso that (i) Purchaser may
reasonably reject a partial shipment arriving early if such early Delivery will cause undue interference with other activities at the Site or if there is a lack of appropriate laydown area for accepting the shipment early. Seller shall perform all
the Work to achieve Unit Installation for Unit #1 on or before the Unit Installation Completion Date for Unit #1 set forth in Attachment 6 (“Scheduled Completion Dates”) and to achieve scheduled Substantial Completion for Unit #1 on or
before the Substantial Completion Date for Unit #1 set forth in Attachment 6. 
  

 Page 15 of 40 








 Notice and Report of Unit Installation Completion. When Seller determines that it has satisfied the
conditions for Unit Installation for both Units #1 and #2 pursuant to this Contract and the Multi-Hearth Furnace Contract for Unit #2, Seller shall deliver a written notice of such determination with respect to Unit #1 (“Notice of Unit
Installation Completion”) to Purchaser in the form set forth in Attachment 4 (“Form of Notice of Unit Installation Completion”). The Notice of Unit Installation Completion will contain a certification by Seller that it has
satisfied all of the conditions for Unit Installation for Unit #1 pursuant to this Contract, and such notice shall be accompanied by a Notice of Unit Installation Completion furnished pursuant to the Multi-Hearth Furnace Contract for Unit #2.

 Achievement of Unit Installation Completion. Within ten (10) days of receipt of each of the Notices of Unit Installation Completion by
Purchaser, Purchaser shall inspect the Work and Unit #2 Work, and/or cause the Work and Unit #2 Work to be inspected by Purchaser’s Engineer and/or other designated representatives, and Purchaser shall either: (a) deliver to Seller a
written acceptance of each of Seller’s Notices of Unit Installation Completion for both Units #1 and #2 by countersigning the forms set forth in Attachment 4 (“Form of Notice of Unit Installation Completion”) for both such Units, or
(b) notify Seller in writing that the conditions for Unit Installation for both Units #1 and #2 have not been met, stating with specificity the reasons therefor. If Purchaser countersigns the Notice of Unit Installation Completion, the date of
Purchaser’s receipt of each of Seller’s Notices of Unit Installation Completion shall be deemed the Unit Installation Completion Date for both Units #1 and #2. If Purchaser notifies Seller the conditions for Unit Installation for either
Unit #1 or Unit #2 have not been met, then Seller shall either promptly undertake such action, Work and/or Unit #2 Work as is necessary to meet or verify such conditions and issue another Notice of Unit Installation Completion to Purchaser or refer
the matter to dispute resolution in accordance with this Contract. If Seller prevails in the dispute, the date of Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s Notices of Unit Installation Completion will be deemed the Unit Installation Completion Date
for both Units #1 and #2. 
 The Parties understand and agree that Unit Installation for Unit #1 depends upon, and must coincide with, Unit Installation for
Unit #2 pursuant the Multi-Hearth Furnace Contract for Unit #2, and Unit Installation for Unit #2, pursuant to such separate Multi-Hearth Furnace Contract, depends upon, and must coincide with, Unit Installation for Unit #1. 
 If the Work is not satisfactorily completed so as to achieve Unit Installation for both Units #1 and #2 on or before * under this Contract and the Multi-Hearth Furnace
Contract for Unit #2, for reasons other than Force Majeure, Seller shall pay as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, under this Contract (which shall be in addition to the corresponding amount payable with respect to Unit #2 pursuant to the
Multi-Hearth Furnace Contract for Unit #2), * per day of delay on or after * until the Work for both Units #1 and #2 is satisfactorily completed and the Unit Installation Completion Date for both Units #1 and #2 is achieved (“Liquidated
Damages”). If the applicable Work is not satisfactorily completed in accordance with this paragraph, then, for the purposes of calculating the delay period for which Liquidated Damages are owed by Seller to Purchaser, the duration of any delay
shall exclude the time that transpires between the date of Purchaser’s receipt of both of Seller’s Notices of Unit Installation Completion under this Contract and the Multi-Hearth Furnace Contract for Unit #2, and the date Purchaser
notifies Seller that the conditions for Unit Installation for both Units #1 and #2 have not been met. Such time shall be measured in whole days, where the date of Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s Notices of Unit Installation Completion
shall mark the commencement of the excluded time and the day of Purchaser’s notification to Seller that the conditions for Unit Installation for either Unit #1 or Unit #2 have not been met shall mark the commencement (or recommencement) of time
for which Liquidated Damages are owed by Seller to Purchaser. 
  

 Page 16 of 40 








 The Parties agree that the Liquidated Damages payable under this Contract may arise due to delay or problems with either
Unit #1 or Unit #2, but shall be payable under both this Contract and under the corresponding provisions of the Multi-Hearth Furnace Contract for Unit #2 irrespective of the particular Unit or Units giving rise to such delay. The Parties agree that
the amount of Liquidated Damages set forth in this Article 9 is the only Liquidated Damages imposed on Seller under this Contract and is reasonable in light of the anticipated harm caused by the delay and the difficulties of proof of loss and
inconvenience or non-feasibility of obtaining any adequate remedy, and the Parties are estopped from contesting the validity or enforceability of such Liquidated Damages. Liquidated Damages constitute Seller’s sole and exclusive liability to
Purchaser for delay in performance under this Contract. The foregoing Liquidated Damages Cap shall not limit any other amounts owed by Seller (e.g., indemnity, back charges for work completed by Purchaser) pursuant to this Contract. Seller’s
aggregate liability for Liquidated Damages under all of the Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts is the Liquidated Damages Cap; provided that all or any portion of the Liquidated Damages Cap may be used to satisfy Liquidated Damages liability under any
one or more of the respective Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller would be liable for Liquidated Damages but the
Project is otherwise delayed for reasons for which Seller is not responsible, Seller shall not be obligated to pay all or the applicable portion of such Liquidated Damages to Purchaser except to the extent Seller’s delay has a material adverse
effect on the progress of the Project, including acceleration by the EPC Contractor. Purchaser shall make a good faith effort to notify Seller of any potential adverse consequence so as to provide Seller with the opportunity to avoid any such
material adverse effect, but failure by Purchaser to give such notification shall not negate any claim Purchaser may have to Liquidated Damages. 
 Because
completion of the Work is critical to the success of the Project, Purchaser shall pay a bonus to Seller for early achievement of Substantial Completion for both Units #1 and #2. The early completion bonus upon early achievement of Substantial
Completion for both Units #1 and #2 shall only be payable upon achievement of Substantial Completion of both Units #1 and #2, and the total amount of the early completion bonus under this Contract shall not exceed *. Subject to the foregoing
sentence, if both Units #1 and #2 achieve Substantial Completion prior to *, Purchaser shall pay as a bonus to Seller a total of * for each full day between Substantial Completion (which is applicable to both Units #1 and #2) and *; provided,
however, that no bonus shall be paid if both Units #1 and #2 do not achieve Substantial Completion prior to *. 
 If Substantial Completion is delayed due to
an Event of Default by Purchaser or Force Majeure, the Project Schedule, including, but not limited to, Substantial Completion and Unit Installation dates for calculation of the bonus calculation shall be equitably extended to compensate for such
delays pursuant to a Change Order hereunder.

 Article 10. Performance Guarantees and Substantial Completion 
 When Ready for First Fire has been achieved for both Units #1 and #2, Purchaser shall give Seller written notice of each such event and Seller shall, within five
(5) Business Days’ receipt of notice, commence its activities for commissioning and Performance Testing of both Units #1 and #2, unless, and to the extent as, otherwise specifically provided in Attachment 7 (“Performance Test
Procedures, Conditions and Protocol”). Subject to Seller’s Make Good Obligation, when commissioned and tested in accordance with the requirements in Attachment 7, Seller guarantees that Unit #1 (when tested together with Unit #2) will
achieve the various guarantee values set forth in Tables 1-1 and 1-2 below (“Performance Guarantees”). If the Performance Tests do not demonstrate Unit #1’s achievement of its Performance Guarantees and achievement of
Substantial Completion within thirty (30) days after Purchaser provides its notice of Ready for First Fire, Seller shall undertake an analysis (including a “root cause” analysis) of the reasons Unit #1 cannot achieve the Performance
Guarantees and Substantial Completion and shall submit to Purchaser a report of Seller’s analysis and proposed repairs, replacements or other modifications that it reasonably believes are necessary to cause the achievement of Substantial
Completion, including, but not limited to, satisfaction of the Performance Guarantees as demonstrated by Performance Tests. In addition to delivering the report, at its sole cost, Seller shall undertake such efforts set forth below (the
“Make Good Obligation”), without additional compensation by Purchaser, so as to attempt to cause Unit #1 to achieve Substantial Completion, including, but not limited to, achievement of the Performance Guarantees as demonstrated by
the Performance Tests. At its sole expense, Purchaser and other entities selected by Purchaser (as it may deem necessary or required) may observe such efforts, and Seller will reasonably cooperate with the same in connection with its Make Good
Obligation. Notwithstanding anything else in this Contract, the Make Good Obligation will consist solely of: *. It is understood that no Make Good Obligation shall arise for Unit #1 until Unit Installation for Unit #1 is achieved. 
 Seller shall continue to act pursuant to the Make Good Obligation until: (a) Unit #1 achieves Substantial Completion, including, but not limited to, achievement of
the Performance Guarantees as demonstrated by Performance Tests, or (b) Seller certifies to Purchaser in writing that in Seller’s reasonable best judgment its further commercially reasonable actions under the Make Good Obligation will not
result in achievement of Substantial Completion or substantially improved performance of Unit #1.

rate characteristics as mutually agreed by the Parties, and, as applicable, the Contract Price and the Project Schedule will be equitably adjusted to reflect the time incurred to discuss and agree on any such adjustment pursuant to the Change Order
provisions of Article 19.

 Article 11. Reliability Bonus 
 If, during the EPC Reliability Bonus Test, the Project functions so that the EPC Contractor is entitled to an “Increased Throughput Bonus,” as such term is defined in the EPC Contract, then Seller shall be entitled to a bonus
under this Contract in an amount equal to * for an aggregate average production level of at least * per day across all four (4) MHFs and an additional * for each additional whole * per day produced above an aggregate average production level of
* per day across all four (4) MHFs; provided, however, that during such EPC Reliability Bonus Test, no MHF shall produce less than * per day (and if any MHF falls below this minimum amount no Reliability Bonus can be earned as a result of such
EPC Reliability Bonus Test); provided further, that no production by any MHF above * per day shall be included in the production calculation; provided further that activated carbon produced must meet the Iodine Number Performance Guarantee specified
in Table 1-1 and have a yield (*) of at least * in order to be included in determining the production amounts; and provided further, that for purposes of Seller’s eligibility for the bonus under this Article 11, the full Project (including
the balance of plant for which EPC Contractor is responsible) shall be included in determining entitlement to such bonus, and Seller shall not be entitled to relief, credit or adjustment based upon performance failures or other performance problems
due in whole or in part to the Project provided under the EPC Contract or which is otherwise part of EPC Contractor’s scope of work, it being the intent of the Parties that such bonus shall only be earned if the complete Project demonstrates
such increased reliability (the “Reliability Bonus”). 
 Seller shall invoice Purchaser for any Reliability Bonus earned by it pursuant to
this Article 11 upon completion of the EPC Reliability Bonus Test. Upon verification by Purchaser that Seller is entitled to the Reliability Bonus amount so invoiced, Purchaser shall pay the Performance Bonus amount in accordance with the payment
procedures and protocol set forth in Article 4 (“Payments and Liens”), excepting only that no retainage on such Reliability Bonus amount shall be withheld. 
 Article 12. Performance Guarantee Testing 
 Performance Testing. The performance tests
(“Performance Tests”) set forth in Attachment 7 (“Performance Test Procedures, Conditions and Protocol”) shall be performed using the testing procedures, conditions and protocols set forth in Attachment 7 and shall be
conducted after Seller’s completion of the start-up and final check-out of Unit #1 and after completion of all Certain Purchaser Test Obligations. Except for those Certain Purchaser Test Obligations, Seller shall be responsible for preparation
and conduct of the Performance Tests in accordance with this Contract. 
 Access Period. If during its first Performance Test, Unit #1 does not
meet the Performance Guarantees, Seller shall be afforded sufficient access to such Unit to allow Seller to undertake corrective action. Unit #1 will be re-tested when Seller so requests, provided Seller has given forty-eight (48) hours’
written notice to Purchaser to conduct each subsequent Performance Test. 
 Cost of Performance Tests and Re-Tests. Seller shall perform all
Performance Tests and re-tests at its cost except that Purchaser shall furnish and pay for those Certain Purchaser Test Obligations. Seller shall provide Purchaser with at least five (5) Business Days’ 

  

 Page 20 of 40 








 
prior written notice of the first Performance Test and at least forty-eight (48) hours’ written notice of any subsequent Performance Test.
Purchaser is entitled to be represented at any Performance Test. Seller’s cost of the Performance Tests includes the cost of its personnel. 
 Article 13. Inspection, Expediting and Factory Tests 
 Inspections and Tests at Seller’s Facilities. Upon Purchaser’s
request, Purchaser or its designee shall be provided access to Seller’s facilities, on reasonable notice, during regular business hours to obtain information on production progress and make inspections. Such access will not include restricted
areas where other work is being performed unrelated to Equipment fabrication. Purchaser shall be provided with at least five (5) Business Days’ prior notice of any shop tests to be conducted at Seller’s facilities, where the test is
to be done, and when materials will be ready for inspection or testing, so that Purchaser or its designees may, if they so desire, inspect or witness such tests before delivery to the Site, or before such Work is covered. However, such inspection
shall be done in a manner so as to not unreasonably interfere with Seller’s effort and schedule. Failure to discover or reject any defective Work shall not relieve Seller from responsibility for the Work. 
 Inspections and Tests at Suppliers’ Facilities. Seller will use good faith efforts to obtain similar access and inspection rights for Purchaser to
Seller’s Suppliers’ facilities for the purposes and to the extent described in the paragraph above, and any such access and inspection rights shall apply only to the “non-commodity” items referred to in Article 8. 
 Inspection Not Acceptance. Purchaser’s inspection of the Work (including, but not limited to, the Equipment) or its failure to inspect shall not
relieve Seller of any of its obligations under this Contract, nor shall it give rise to any responsibility or liability of Purchaser for any defect or deficiency in the inspected Work nor shall it to be construed as acceptance of such Work by
Purchaser. 
 Costs Associated with Expediting and Inspection. If the Work is deficient, including failure to maintain the Project Schedule or
otherwise conform to the Contract Documents for any reason, Purchaser may request that Seller provide a recovery plan to restore the Project Schedule or otherwise correct such deficient Work, to the extent practicable in Seller’s judgment. If
within seven (7) Business Days from Purchaser’s notice, Seller has not provided a reasonable recovery plan to Purchaser or continued in good faith and with reasonable diligence to remedy the condition, Purchaser may establish a corrective
action plan pursuant to the first paragraph of Article 19, which may in part include the assignment of in-shop expediting personnel to periodically visit and, if necessary, reside at Seller’s manufacturing location(s), as appropriate. Costs
incurred by Seller in performance of such corrective action plan shall be to Seller’s account. To the extent any part of the Work is not in compliance with the requirements of this Contract and such non-compliance is not excused by the terms of
this Contract, Seller shall promptly repair or replace such Work at its sole expense in a manner which brings the Work into compliance with the requirements of this Contract.

 Article 14. Seller-Provided Training 
 Seller shall provide training in the operation and maintenance of the Equipment (other than any Purchaser-furnished equipment and work) and shall coordinate and conduct all training sessions for Purchaser’s
operating and maintenance personnel to present basic principles for the operation and maintenance aspects of Unit #1. All training shall be conducted by Seller in accordance with training programs developed by Seller based on Seller’s customary
training programs described in Attachment 12 (“Seller’s Customary Training Manual”), shall cover the subjects below, and shall consist of two (2) trainers and up to two (2) weeks of training. The initial training program
shall occur no later than fifteen (15) days after completion of start up for Unit #1 and shall be provided by Seller or its qualified designated representatives at the Site. Seller will coordinate with Purchaser to ensure appropriate
representation at necessary start-up and checkout activities to support Seller’s training program. Training shall include Seller’s customary training manual, an outline of which is included at Attachment 12, and work materials for all
personnel being trained. Purchaser shall have the right to make a reasonable number of copies of such materials for future training of plant operators and workers at the Site. Purchaser shall also have the right to videotape training sessions for
future use by Purchaser for the same purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller’s obligations under this Article 14 ultimately shall encompass training Purchaser’s operating and maintenance personnel as to the entire Project, and
Seller’s obligations under this Article 14 will be deemed satisfied if conducted in concert with similar obligations arising under Article 14 of the other Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts. 
 Training shall include: 
  

	 	(i)	System and controls explanation and general operation; 

  

	 	(ii)	System monitoring; 

  

	 	(iii)	Preventive maintenance, trouble shooting and instructions; 

  

	 	(iv)	System upkeep and general Equipment repair; 

  

	 	(v)	References of relevant technical materials and Drawings; 

  

	 	(vi)	Equipment list and descriptions; 

  

	 	(vii)	Training course materials including operations and maintenance manuals; 

  

	 	(viii)	Operations checklists including startup and shutdown procedures and heat up and cool down schedules; and 

  

	 	(ix)	Emergency operations and checklists. 

 Article 15. Warranty Period 

 Seller shall warrant the Work on the terms set forth in Article 16 below for twelve (12) months (“Warranty Period”) following the
earlier of the date: (a) Unit #1 successfully passes all Performance Tests, or (b) Purchaser begins beneficial use of Unit #1, but in no event shall Seller’s warranty obligations with respect to any component of Unit #1 for which
there is a separate Subcontractor Warranty extend beyond two (2) years after the date of actual Delivery of such component hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall obtain the cost for an extended “evergreen” warranty for
*, which shall extend for a one (1) year period from the later of: 

  

 Page 22 of 40 








 
(x) Substantial Completion and (y) the last date of any warranty or repair work on such Equipment. Seller shall provide Purchaser with written
notice of the additional cost of such extended “evergreen” warranty, and by delivery of written notice from Purchaser to Seller at any time prior to Financial Close for the Project, Purchaser may elect to require such extended
“evergreen” warranty and the Contract Price shall be increased accordingly. If Purchaser exercises its election pursuant to this paragraph, the provision of this paragraph regarding such warranty shall supersede conflicting warranty
provisions below. 
 Article 16. Warranty 
 Warranty. During the Warranty Period, Seller warrants to Purchaser that: 
  

	 	(i)	the Work, including all goods and services furnished under this Contract, shall conform to, and perform in accordance with, the terms of this Contract and the other Contract
Documents, and the Equipment and materials shall be new at the time of installation, free of liens and defects in material, workmanship (unless caused by Purchaser or EPC Contractor) and title, and comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSHA) (Public Law 91-596) and the regulations implementing it and all other Applicable Legal Requirements; and 

  

	 	(ii)	subject to Seller’s Make Good Obligation pursuant to Article 10 (or the resolution of a dispute regarding the same, pursuant to Article 28), the Work shall be complete and
performed in a competent, diligent manner in accordance with applicable industry standards, and all Drawings and data submitted by Seller pursuant to the terms of this Contract shall be complete, correct and of a professional quality.


 Except as provided herein, inspection, testing, acceptance or use by Purchaser or its designees of the Work in the ordinary course shall not
affect Seller’s liability and obligations under this warranty, and such warranty shall survive inspection, testing, acceptance and use for the Warranty Period. Seller’s warranty shall run to Purchaser and its permitted successors and
assigns. 
 Notwithstanding performance by each Party of all of its obligations under this Contract other than any warranty obligations (e.g., final
completion of the Work), this Contract shall remain in effect until completion of all warranty obligations set forth in this Article 16. 
 Remedy. If the Work performed hereunder does not meet the above warranties during the Warranty Period, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing, and promptly upon receipt of such notice, Seller shall, at no cost to Purchaser,
promptly repair or replace such nonconforming Work with as little disruption to Unit operations as practicable. Except for those Certain Purchaser Test Obligations, all costs to fulfill the warranty provided under this Contract or to remedy any
breach of such warranty, including, but not limited to, the engineering, repair, replacement, removal, transportation, warehousing, disassembly, reinstallation, reconstruction, re-testing and re-inspection of as may be necessary to correct the
defect or nonconformity shall be at Seller’s expense; including disassembly and reassembly of the Unit, disassembly and reassembly of the Work (but not equipment or systems not part of the Work) as required to gain access to the defective or
nonconforming Unit and to reinstall the Unit. If any Work is repaired or replaced and subsequently becomes defective or nonconforming again at any time before expiration of the Warranty Period, Seller at its own expense (except 

  

 Page 23 of 40 








 
for those Certain Purchaser Test Obligations) shall undertake a technical analysis, correct the defect or nonconformity, and resolve the “root
cause” problem. Purchaser shall give Seller notice of observed defects promptly but Purchaser’s failure to observe or detect such deficiencies or its failure to provide such notice within a specified period, shall not relieve Seller of any
of its obligations with respect to its warranty obligations to Purchaser for such nonconforming Work, except that Seller shall not be liable to the extent Purchaser’s failure to provide notice of a known defect contributes to worsening of the
defect, nonconformance, or other damage to the Work while such defect or nonconformance remains uncorrected. To the extent the Work causes an outage or other delay of operations, Seller shall make the repair or replacement on a commercially
reasonable best efforts basis, at Seller’s expense. Should Seller fail to promptly implement repairs or replacements as required under these warranty terms, Purchaser shall have the right upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to
Seller, if Seller has not commenced such Work, to implement such repairs as are necessary to correct the deficiency and charge back the cost thereof to Seller. Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for costs so incurred within thirty (30) days of
receipt of the invoice therefor. Purchaser shall supply those Certain Purchaser Test Obligations reasonably required in connection with Seller’s remedial efforts. Seller’s obligation to perform warranty Work under this Contract is subject
to receipt of notice from Purchaser of any warranty defect or nonconformance before the expiration of the Warranty Period. 
 Warranty on Remedial
Work. Any re-performed service or repaired or replacement part furnished under the warranty terms of this Contract shall carry warranties on the same terms as set forth above, except that the applicable warranty period for the
repair/replacement or re-performed Work shall not extend past the original Warranty Period. 
 Exclusions. Seller’s operating requirements
for the Equipment shall be consistent with industry standards. Seller shall not be liable for damage to, or abuse or misuse of, the Equipment or other Work by persons other than Seller, its Subcontractors and others under its control, normal wear
and tear, and damage to the extent caused by or from Purchaser’s failure to operate and/or maintain Equipment in accordance with Seller’s reasonable written instructions contained in the operations and maintenance manual (including
revisions) supplied by Seller. Seller shall not be liable for incremental damage caused as a result of Purchaser’s, EPC Contractor’s or any operator’s or maintainer’s failure to promptly advise Seller of a warranty claim promptly
upon discovery or knowledge thereof. Purchaser shall keep reasonable and customary records of operations and maintenance during any period in which a warranty claim may be made by Purchaser. These records shall be kept in the form of log sheets and
copies and shall be made available to Seller at the location where such records are maintained by Purchaser upon Seller’s request. 
 Disclaimer
of Implied Warranties. The foregoing warranties are exclusive and are in lieu of all other warranties whether written, oral, implied or statutory. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH HEREIN, SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS AND EXTENDS
NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, DESIGN, OUTPUT, THROUGHPUT, AND THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, WHETHER OR NOT
DISCOVERABLE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, ANY SOFTWARE SUPPLIED IS ONLY GUARANTEED TO OPERATE FREE OF ERRORS OR DEFECTS CAUSED BY SELLER. 
  

 Page 24 of 40 








 Article 17. Taxes 
 Taxes Not Included in Contract Price. No taxes or other governmental charges are included in the Contract Price, all of which shall be for the account of Purchaser, except that Seller shall pay taxes due on its net income and
the contributions due measured by wages of its employees and the employees of its Subcontractors required by Federal Unemployment Tax Act, Federal Insurance Contribution Act or the Applicable Legal Requirements of any state in which any part of the
Work is performed. Purchaser shall promptly pay or reimburse Seller for the payment of any taxes or governmental charges required of Seller other than as provided in this Article 17. 
 Tax Exemptions. Purchaser believes that services, tangible personal property or other portions of the Work to be furnished by Seller qualify for exemption from sales or use taxes or that Purchaser has a
direct pay permit, and so the amount of such sales or use taxes are not included in the Contract Price. Purchaser shall provide Seller with Purchaser’s or Owner’s direct pay permit or exemption certificate where applicable and in a timely
manner as to not delay Seller. Seller agrees to cooperate in obtaining certificates necessary to claim such exemptions. 
 Article 18. Pricing and Scope
Assumptions 
 Pricing Assumptions. The Contract Price is based on the engineering, manufacture and installation of the Equipment and the
performance of the other components of the Work so as to comply with: 
  

	 	(i)	the Technical Requirements of Attachment 2 (“Technical Requirements”), 

  

	 	(ii)	those codes and standards in Attachment 2 applicable to the fabrication and/or installation of the Equipment, and the other applicable components of the Work in effect on the
Effective Date (“Codes and Standards”), 

  

	 	(iii)	Applicable Legal Requirements on the Effective Date, 

  

	 	(iv)	the ambient Site conditions, on the Effective Date, including, but not limited to, temperature, humidity, elevation and any seismic and wind-loading requirements as identified in
Attachment 2, subject to Article 20, and 

  

	 	(v)	those Site-specific environmental requirements identified in Attachment 2. 

 Changes to Codes and Standards or to Applicable Legal Requirements. If any change to the Codes and Standards or Applicable Legal Requirements in effect on the Effective Date requires a change to the Equipment, the other Work
or other terms of this Contract, an equitable adjustment to the Contract Price, the Project Schedule, Scheduled Completion Date(s) as listed in Attachment 6 (“Scheduled Completion Dates”) for the affected item(s), and other terms of this
Contract shall be made under the Change Order provisions of Article 19. 
 Permitting Support. Purchaser shall have sole responsibility for,
and risk associated with, application for and maintenance of all licenses and permits required to perform the Work at the Project Site (including, but not limited to, Site-related construction and environmental permits) other than those permits or
licenses required by government authorities to be in the name of Seller. Seller 

  

 Page 25 of 40 








 
shall provide reasonable assistance to Purchaser (excluding litigation assistance) in its endeavors relating to permits or governmental approvals required to
be in the name of Purchaser and cooperate by providing information available to it for the purpose of obtaining such permits and governmental approvals. Purchaser shall reasonably assist Seller in its endeavors relating to permits or governmental
approvals required to be in the name of Seller and fully cooperate by providing information and related assistance for the purpose of obtaining such permits and governmental approvals. Seller shall have sole responsibility for all licenses and
permits required to manufacture and assemble the Equipment and perform Work at locations other than the Project Site and as needed to transport, store and make Delivery of Equipment in accordance with this Contract. 
 Article 19. Changes 
 Purchaser-Initiated Changes.
Purchaser shall have the right at any time to make any changes in the Work, including, but not limited to, ordering extra work, or altering, adding to, or deducting from the Work, or modifying the Project Schedule (or other schedule for the Work) by
issuing a written order for the change in the Work (a “Change Order”) by the Authorized Representative of Purchaser. All such Work shall be executed under the terms and conditions of this Contract. If Seller claims that any
instruction received from Purchaser involves a cost adjustment to the Contract Price (either an increase or decrease), a change to the Project Schedule, or a change to a Contract term, Seller shall give Purchaser written notice thereof within seven
(7) Business Days after the receipt of such instruction, and in any event before proceeding to execute the Work, except in emergency endangering life or property. Seller shall submit a draft Change Order in accordance with this Article 19. The
compensation established herein for any Change Order shall be the sole and exclusive consideration for such change, and any increased overhead, inefficiencies, and all other financial factors associated with a Change Order have been incorporated
into the compensation established in this Article 19, but Seller shall be entitled to any change, if any, in the Project Schedule or applicable term of this Contract associated with the change. 
 Seller-Initiated Changes. If Seller wishes to propose a change, or if Seller is entitled to a Change Order pursuant to the terms of this Contract, Seller
shall submit to Purchaser a draft Change Order. 
 Contents of Draft Change Order. The draft Change Order shall include: 
  

	 	(i)	a technical description of the proposed change in such detail as Purchaser may reasonably require, 

  

	 	(ii)	a lump sum firm price adjustment (increase or decrease) in the Contract Price or other method to allow for a cost adjustment, if any, caused by the proposed change,


  

	 	(iii)	potential effect(s), if any, reasonably foreseen by Seller on the Scheduled RTS Date(s) for the Unit, or any other schedule or date for performance by Seller hereunder, and


  

 Page 26 of 40 









	 	(iv)	potential effect(s), if any, reasonably foreseen by Seller on Seller’s ability to comply with any of its obligations hereunder, including Seller’s warranties and
Performance Guarantees. 

 Process for Concluding Change Order. Purchaser shall, within ten (10) days from the date of
receipt of Seller’s information regarding a proposed change, either approve or disapprove the draft Change Order in writing or request additional time to consider the draft Change Order. If Purchaser approves the Change Order, Purchaser and
Seller shall execute the Change Order (which shall operate as an amendment to this Contract), and Seller shall proceed to implement the Change Order in accordance with the terms thereof and this Contract. 
 Failure to Agree on Change Order. If the Parties cannot timely agree on the terms of a proposed Change Order, then the disagreement shall be submitted for
resolution in accordance with this Contract and while such dispute is pending, if the disputed Change Order is directed by Purchaser or otherwise required by this Contract, then Seller shall proceed with the Change Order (unless such Change Order is
prohibited by the succeeding paragraph) and if the dispute involves the amount or manner of payment for the additional Work, Seller shall be paid on a time and materials basis (including a reasonable charge for administration, overhead and profit)
until the dispute is resolved based on the time and materials rates set forth in Attachment 8 (“Time and Material Rates”). Seller shall not proceed with any Seller-initiated change without the express written agreement of Purchaser. No
Change Order will be effective until signed by both Parties (or ordered pursuant to dispute resolution proceedings), and no Party shall unreasonably delay or withhold signature of a Change Order. 
 Change Not Practicable. No unilateral Change Order may change the Project Schedule, a Performance Guarantee, a Performance Test or any other term of this
Contract. Furthermore, if any other change to the Work contemplated by a proposed Change Order is not practicable because the change is not feasible or will cause a violation of Applicable Legal Requirements, then Seller will so notify Purchaser in
writing providing a reasonable explanation as to why the change is not practicable. If Purchaser disputes Seller’s assertion that the proposed Change Order is not practicable, such dispute will be resolved in accordance with Article 28.

 Article 20. Excusable Delays 
 Force
Majeure. Neither Party shall be in breach of this Contract to the extent that any delay or default in performance is due to act of God, act of any governmental authority, riot, revolution, war, terrorism or threat thereof, tornado,
hurricane, flood and other natural disasters, lightning and other abnormal or severe climatic conditions causing loss of more than one (1) day in any given calendar week, a Change in Applicable Legal Requirements, *, or any other cause which is
beyond the reasonable control of the delayed or non-performing Party (including, but not limited to, interference by the other Party, Owner, or the EPC Contractor or the non-performance by the other Party or the EPC Contractor of its obligations
under this Contract or the EPC Contract) (“Force Majeure”). Force Majeure shall not mean any act or event to the extent caused by the fault or negligence of any person or entity claiming Force Majeure, or the financial inability of
any person or entity to pay or otherwise not perform its obligations under this Contract. In addition, Force Majeure shall not include: 
  

	 	(i)	except as provided above, the inability to obtain labor, equipment or other materials or supplies for the Work (except to the extent caused by an independent act, event, or
condition constituting a Force Majeure), or 

  

 Page 27 of 40 









	 	(ii)	equipment failures due to wear and tear or defects in manufacture or construction. 

 The affected Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the occurrence of a Force Majeure and shall confirm the notice in writing within twenty (20) days after discovery of the event and its impact; provided,
however, that either Party affected by Force Majeure shall be entitled to give notice beyond such time limit, if the late notice itself did not materially prejudice the other Party but the Party giving the late notice shall not be entitled to relief
for any incremental delay or costs occurring during the period of delay in giving such notice. The notice shall contain a reasonably detailed account of the expected effect of the Force Majeure on performance under this Contract, including the cause
of the delay, an estimate of the duration of the delay, an estimate of the delay’s impact to the Project Schedule, and the affected Party’s plan to mitigate the adverse effects of the Force Majeure on its performance hereunder. Thereafter
the affected Party shall keep the other Party reasonably apprised regarding the Force Majeure. The suspension of performance due to an event of Force Majeure shall be of no greater scope and no longer duration than is required by such event and its
effects. 
 The excused Party shall use reasonable efforts to: 
  

	 	(i)	mitigate the duration of, and costs arising from, any suspension or delay in its performance, 

  

	 	(ii)	continue to perform its obligations hereunder to the extent unaffected by the Force Majeure, and 

  

	 	(iii)	remedy the delay and any damage caused by the Force Majeure. 

 If
Purchaser is delayed or restricted in its ability to take Delivery and/or make use of the Work as it originally contemplated by reason of any Force Majeure, Purchaser may (in its sole discretion) postpone the Delivery dates or terminate this
Contract for convenience or take such other action that it seems appropriate in accordance with the terms of this Contract. 
 Article 21. Intellectual
Property 
 Patent Rights. With respect to any material or Equipment included in the Work or delivered as part of the Work that is subject
to Seller’s patent, copyright or other protected right of usage, Seller hereby provides Purchaser and its successors and assigns with an irrevocable, perpetual non-exclusive, fully paid-up right and license under such rights to use, maintain,
modify and repair such Equipment for the Project at no additional cost to Purchaser. 
 Article 22. General Indemnity 
 Seller’s Indemnity. Seller shall, at its own cost, defend, indemnify and save harmless Purchaser and its officers, directors, employees, and agents
from and against any and all liability, damages, losses, claims, demands, actions, causes of action, expenses (including, but not limited to, fines, penalties, court costs, and fees and expenses of counsel), and costs (collectively,
“Losses”) resulting from third

them) alleging or resulting from the death or injury to any person or damage or destruction to any property, to the extent: 
  

	 	(i)	Caused by the negligence, willful misconduct, or reckless, intentional or otherwise tortious act or omission, including strict liability, during the implementation of the Work or
any curative action during the Warranty Period, by Seller or any of its Subcontractors or anyone directly or indirectly controlled, directed, or employed by any of them, or performing Work on behalf of any of them; 

  

	 	(ii)	Arising, with respect to employees of Seller or of its Subcontractors or anyone directly or indirectly controlled, directed, or employed by any of them, or performing Work on behalf
of any of them, during the implementation of the Work or any curative action during the Warranty Period, under any workers’ compensation, disability, or similar benefits act; 

  

	 	(iii)	During the implementation of the Work or any curative action during the Warranty Period, under any scaffolding or structural work law or laws relating to the protection of land
adjacent to that of Purchaser, caused by any act or omission which is negligent, reckless, intentional, or otherwise is Seller’s strict liability; or 

  


	 	(iv)	Caused by the violation or alleged violation of any governmental requirements (including any fines or penalties, except to the extent imposed or made greater by conduct of Purchaser
or EPC Contractor or anyone under the direction or control of either of them) by Seller or any of its Subcontractors, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or performing Work on behalf of any of them. Notwithstanding the previous
sentence, Seller shall have no general indemnity obligation to the extent arising from a Change in Applicable Legal Requirements after the Effective Date unless memorialized in a mutually agreed upon Change Order. 

 In any and all claims against Seller hereunder, the indemnification obligation stated above shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of
damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for Seller or any of its Subcontractors, or anyone directly or indirectly employed or supervised by any of them under the applicable workers’ compensation act, disability acts, or other employee
benefits act. 
 Purchaser’s Indemnity. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its officers, directors, employees and
agents from all Losses resulting from third party claims (excluding Seller, Subcontractors or anyone directly controlled, directed, employed or supervised by any of them) alleging or resulting from the death or injury to any person or damage or
destruction to any property, to the extent: (i) caused by negligence, willful misconduct, or reckless, intentional or otherwise tortious act or omission, including strict liability, of Purchaser, EPC Contractor or anyone directly controlled,
directed, employed, or supervised by Purchaser or EPC Contractor (other than Seller or Subcontractors), (ii) arising, with respect to employees of Purchaser or EPC Contractor or anyone directly controlled, directed, employed or supervised by
Purchaser or EPC Contractor (other than Seller or its Subcontractors) under any workers’ compensation, disability or similar benefits act; (iii) during the implementation of the Work or any curative action during the Warranty Period, under
any scaffolding or structural work law or laws relating to the protection of land adjacent to that

of Purchaser, caused by any act or omission which is negligent, reckless, intentional, or otherwise is not Seller’s strict liability; or
(iv) caused by the violation or alleged violation of any governmental requirements (including any fines or penalties, except to the extent made greater by conduct of Seller or Subcontractors) by Purchaser or EPC Contractor or anyone directly or
indirectly employed or supervised by Purchaser or EPC Contractor. In any and all claims against Purchaser hereunder, the indemnification obligation stated above shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages,
compensation or benefits payable by or for Purchaser or for anyone directly or indirectly employed or supervised by Purchaser under the applicable workers’ compensation act, disability acts, or other employee benefits act. 
 Article 23. Insurance 
 Comprehensive General Liability.

Contractor and all other additional insureds. Failure to maintain the required insurance may result in the termination of this Contract, at Purchaser’s option. Furthermore, if Seller fails to maintain the insurance set forth in this Article 23,
Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase such insurance at Seller’s expense.

 Page 31 of 40 









	 	(viii)	An Event of Default by Seller occurs under any other Multi-Hearth Furnace Contract. 

 Grounds for Termination by Purchaser. Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Contract for cause upon the occurrence of a Seller Event of Default; provided, however, that (a) Purchaser
shall first have provided Seller with written notice of the nature of such breach in reasonable detail and of Purchaser’s intention to terminate this Contract as a result of such breach, and (b) Seller shall have failed within thirty
(30) days after receipt of such notice (ten (10) days for breach of a payment obligation) to commence and diligently pursue the correction of such breach (and not have cured such breach within sixty (60) days after receipt of such
notice), except that if a Party wishes to terminate this Contract pursuant to this paragraph, in no event shall such right to terminate be effective until after the Parties have followed the “referral to senior management” process set
forth in the first paragraph of Article 28, but in no event shall the Parties be obligated to pursue the other dispute resolution procedures described in Article 28 unless a genuine dispute exists with respect to such dispute. If Purchaser
terminates this Contract pursuant to this Article 24, then Purchaser shall also be entitled to terminate all of the other Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts pursuant to Article 24 thereunder. If Purchaser terminates any of the other Multi-Hearth Furnace
Contracts pursuant to Article 24 thereunder, then Purchaser shall also be entitled to terminate this Contract pursuant to this Article 24. 
 Remedy in
the Event of Termination by Purchaser. Subject to Article 25, if Purchaser terminates this Contract as provided above, Seller shall be liable to Purchaser for all costs incurred by Purchaser in excess of the amount it would have been
obligated to pay to Seller under this Contract to obtain a replacement supplier to perform the uncompleted Work on substantially the same terms and conditions, excepting price. 
 Suspension by Purchaser. Purchaser may at any time suspend the Work or any portion thereof upon giving written notice to Seller. Seller shall strictly comply with Purchaser’s notice and shall
reasonably work to minimize the cost of such suspension. Any part of the Work not suspended shall continue to be diligently prosecuted by Seller. In the event of any such suspension, Seller shall be compensated for its reasonable costs to perform
additional work and activities in order to implement such suspension, including demobilization, remobilization, costs of Subcontractor cancellation and/or suspension and reasonable overhead and profit on such costs; provided, however, that Seller
shall act commercially reasonably to minimize such costs; and provided, further, that within three (3) Business Days after written notice of such suspension, Seller shall use its reasonable efforts to provide an estimate of such cost computed
on a daily basis. Purchaser may, at any time, direct Seller to resume the Work and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume all suspended Work as expeditiously as possible. If a question arises as to satisfactory performance by
Seller, Purchaser shall have the right to direct Seller to stop Work without cost to Purchaser until a timely inspection thereof has been made and compliance with this Contract has been assured. However, if Seller has been performing reasonably,
there shall be an equitable adjustment to the Contract Price, Project Schedule, and/or any other applicable Contract term for any costs incurred by Seller as a result of such stoppage pursuant to a Change Order. Costs incurred by Seller as a result
of any suspension shall be paid on a monthly basis. 
 Purchaser Events of Default. Each of the following shall constitute an “Event of
Default” by Purchaser: 
  

	 	(i)	if Purchaser becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, has a receiver or trustee appointed for the benefit of its creditors, or files for protection
from creditors under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws; 

  

 Page 32 of 40 








  

	 	(ii)	if Purchaser breaches or fails to comply or perform its material obligations hereunder; 

  

	 	(iii)	the interest of Purchaser passes to any person, entity, partnership or corporation other than as permitted under this Contract; 

  

	 	(iv)	any representation or warranty made by Purchaser herein is false or misleading in any material respect when made; 

  

	 	(v)	Purchaser abandons or suspends progress of the Work for sixty (60) days or more due to any reason other than Force Majeure or a default by Seller hereunder;


  

	 	(vi)	Purchaser fails to pay any undisputed amount that Purchaser is required to pay to Seller under this Contract when due; and 

  

	 	(vii)	any Event of Default by Purchaser occurs under any other Multi-Hearth Furnace Contract. 

 Grounds for Termination by Seller. Seller shall have the right to terminate this Contract for cause upon the occurrence of a Purchaser Event of Default; provided, however, that (a) Seller shall
first have provided Purchaser with written notice of the nature of such breach in reasonable detail and of Seller’s intention to terminate this Contract as a result of such breach, and (b) Purchaser shall have failed within thirty
(30) days after receipt of such notice (ten (10) days for breach of a payment obligation) to commence and diligently pursue the correction of such breach (and not have cured such breach within sixty (60) days after receipt of such
notice). Notwithstanding any cure period, Seller shall be entitled to the Late Payment Rate for amounts not paid when due. If Seller terminates this Contract pursuant to this Article 24, then Seller shall also be entitled to terminate all other
Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts pursuant to Article 24 thereunder. If Seller terminates any of the Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts pursuant to Article 24 thereunder, Seller shall also be entitled to terminate this Contract pursuant to this Article.
24. 
 Remedy in the Event of Termination by Seller. If Seller terminates this Contract as provided above, Purchaser shall pay to Seller
the Termination Payments set forth in Article 5 (“Termination for Convenience”). Furthermore, nothing in this Article 24 shall limit Seller’s rights under Article 4. 
 Article 25. Limitation of Liability 
 Limitation. Other than claims pursuant to Article 16 or 22 or
Section SC-S3 of Attachment 10 (“Supplemental Terms for On-Site Services”), and claims covered by insurance required hereunder (it being the Parties’ specific intent that the limitation of liability shall not relieve the
insurers’ obligations for such insured risks), the total liability of Seller for payments to Purchaser, on all claims of any kind, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, arising out of Seller’s
performance or breach of this Contract or Purchaser’s use of any Equipment shall not exceed * of the Contract Price. The total liability of Purchaser for payments to Seller, other than the Contract Price and in respect of claims pursuant to
Article 16 or Article 22, interest at the Late Payment Rate, and (except with respect to insurance deductibles) claims covered by insurance covering Purchaser (it being the Parties’ specific 

  

 Page 33 of 40 








 
intention that the limitation of liability shall not relieve the insurers’ obligations for insured risks) on all claims of any kind, whether in
contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, arising out of the performance or breach of this Contract or use of any Equipment shall not exceed * of the Contract Price. The provisions of this first paragraph of Article 25
do not apply to the Seller’s Make Good Obligation under Section 10, but Seller’s obligations under Section 10 shall not exceed those specified in Section 10. 
 Exclusion of Consequential Damages. In no event shall a Party be liable to the other Party for special, consequential, punitive, incidental, indirect, or exemplary damages under any theory of liability
whatsoever. Except to the extent Seller’s Liquidated Damages under Article 9 may be considered as such, in no event, whether as a result of breach of contract, warranty, indemnity, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise,
shall a Party be liable to the other Party for loss of profit or revenues, loss of use of the Work or any associated equipment, cost of capital, cost of substitute equipment, facilities, services or replacement power, downtime costs, fines or
penalties charged to Purchaser or Seller for failure to comply with Applicable Legal Requirements or permits, claims of Purchaser’s customers for such damages, or for any special, consequential, punitive, incidental, indirect, or exemplary
damages. The foregoing shall not limit either Party’s obligation to pay any damages that may be awarded to a third party in connection with any claim to the extent that a Party is obligated to indemnify the other Party for such third party
claim under this Contract. 
 Article 26. Proprietary Information 
 Confidentiality. At the time of furnishing confidential or proprietary information or documentation, which shall include, including, but not limited to, confidential or proprietary information learned as the result of any
inspection of Seller’s or its Suppliers or Subcontractors’ facilities (“Confidential Information”), the disclosing Party (“Discloser”) shall designate by label, stamp, or other mark that the Confidential
Information is confidential. If the Confidential Information is disclosed orally or in other intangible form, Discloser shall within thirty (30) days thereafter indicate the confidential nature of the Confidential Information. The receiving
Party (“Receiver”) shall: 
  

	 	(i)	treat the Confidential Information as confidential, 

  

	 	(ii)	restrict the use of the Confidential Information to matters relating to performance of this Contract, and 

  

	 	(iii)	restrict access to the Confidential Information to its employees whose access is necessary in the implementation of this Contract. 

 Receiver may release the Confidential Information to its agents, consultants, contractors, lenders, equity investors and Affiliates (“Representatives”);
provided, however, that these Representatives: 
  

	 	(i)	are informed of the confidential and proprietary nature of the Confidential Information and shall be bound by the same standard of care as Receiver, 

  

	 	(ii)	have a need to know the Confidential Information, 

  

 Page 34 of 40 









	 	(iii)	limit their use of the Confidential Information solely to purposes related to the Project, and 

  

	 	(iv)	are not competitors of Discloser. 

 All tangible copies of the
Confidential Information will be returned to Discloser upon request except that Receiver may keep one (1) archival copy of the information and may make a reasonable number of copies of the Confidential Information to the extent necessary for
the operation and maintenance of the Project. 
 Exclusions. The foregoing restrictions do not apply to Confidential Information which:

  

	 	(i)	is contained in a printed publication which was released to the public by Discloser prior to the date of disclosure to Receiver; 

  

	 	(ii)	is, or becomes, publicly known otherwise than through a wrongful act of Receiver, its employees, or agents; 

  

	 	(iii)	is in possession of Receiver, its employees or agents prior to receipt from Discloser as evidenced by written records dated before the disclosure to Receiver;


  

	 	(iv)	is furnished to others by Discloser without confidentiality restriction; or 

  

	 	(v)	is approved in writing by Discloser for disclosure by Receiver, its agents or employees to a third party; 

 provided, however, that Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be within one of the foregoing exceptions if it is merely embraced by more general information available on a non-confidential basis to Receiver.
Upon receipt of a demand or request for the disclosure of any Confidential Information, Receiver shall promptly notify Discloser and afford it an opportunity to seek a protective order or other appropriate form of security or remedy. If the Parties
fail to obtain a protective order or similar protection, Receiver shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be furnished and will exercise reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that
confidential treatment will be afforded the Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) except for the Drawings and Materials designated as Confidential Information pursuant to this Article 26, in no event shall any component
of the Work be considered Confidential Information under this Contract, (b) nor shall any information provided by Seller to Purchaser which is necessary for Purchaser to enjoy the full benefit and unfettered right to possess, sell or otherwise
control the Work, including all Equipment supplied as a component of the Work, constitute Confidential Information under this Contract, and (c) neither Party shall be prevented by any provision in this Article 26 from disclosing Confidential
Information required by Applicable Legal Requirements, except that Receiver shall promptly notify Discloser of the required disclosure and, to the extent the Parties mutually determine, resist or limit such disclosure, and cooperate with Discloser
to so resist or limit such disclosure. 
 Article 27. Assignment and Financing Provisions 
 Eligible Assignees. An “Eligible Assignee” is: (i) an Affiliate of Purchaser, or (ii) an engineering and/or construction
contractor under contract with Purchaser for balance of plant construction and/or the installation of the Equipment; provided, however, that the Eligible Assignee offers Purchaser evidence of its ability (both financial and otherwise) to fulfill the
obligations of Purchaser hereunder. 
  

 Page 35 of 40 








 Purchaser’s Right to Assign to Eligible Assignees. Purchaser may assign its rights and delegate its
obligations under this Contract to an Eligible Assignee; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser shall notify Seller of its intent to assign no less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the execution of any such assignment,
(ii) Purchaser shall provide evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of Seller that the Eligible Assignee has the ability (both financial and otherwise) to fulfill the obligations of Purchaser hereunder and (iii) Purchaser also assigns its
rights and delegates its obligations under the other Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts to such Eligible Assignee. 
 Collateral Assignment and Cooperation
with Financing. Purchaser may also assign a collateral interest in this Contract to one or more lenders or its designees who are not Eligible Assignees as collateral security for financing of the Project. Seller shall provide such assistance
as Purchaser may reasonably request and at Purchaser’s expense in connection with financing for the Project, including, but not limited to, providing a consent to assignment with such lender(s) on terms mutually acceptable to such lender(s) and
Seller. Seller shall not be obligated to agree to changes to this Contract that increase its costs or risks without a reasonable adjustment of the terms of this Contract. Seller shall make available to Purchaser, Purchaser’s lenders and
lender’s engineer information relating to the status of the Work, including information relating to the engineering, construction, estoppel certificates and such other matters as Purchaser may reasonably request, but such information to the
extent designated as Confidential Information pursuant to Article 26, shall be deemed Confidential Information of Seller. 
 All Other Assignments and
Transfers by Purchaser. All other assignments or transfers by Purchaser of any or all of its duties or rights under this Contract (by operation of law or otherwise) are subject to Seller’s prior written consent, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. 
 Seller’s Right to Assign. Seller may not assign its rights or delegate its
obligations under this Contract without the prior written consent of Purchaser, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, so long as Seller is also assigning such rights or delegating such obligations under each of the
other Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts. 
 Conditions. Any assignment shall be subject to all limitations of liability contained in this
Contract. Neither Party may assign this Contract except in accordance with this Article. Any purported assignment not in accordance with this Article shall be void and without effect. 
 Article 28. Dispute Resolution 
 Referral to Senior Management. Any and all controversies, disputes or
differences between the Parties, if not amicably settled by the Parties within thirty (30) days following written notice of dispute, shall be referred to senior management of the Parties for resolution unless an earlier time has been provided
herein. If the dispute has not been resolved within thirty (30) days following referral to senior management, or such longer period as the Parties may mutually agree, then either Party may, upon ten (10) days’ notice to the other
Party, institute appropriate action in accordance with the following paragraph. 
  

 Page 36 of 40 








 Any disputes regarding (a) payments or amounts payable pursuant to this Contract, or (b) the content or value
of the Punch List, which disputes are not resolved between the Parties by referral to senior management as described in the preceding paragraph, shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Attachment 15. Any controversies or disputes not
resolved between the Parties by referral to senior management or not resolved by arbitration pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be resolved in an action brought in the state or federal courts in the County of Monroe, state of New York, and the
Parties consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of such state and federal courts for such purpose. Each Party: (x) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Legal Requirements, irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or
hereafter have to the personal jurisdiction or venue of such courts with respect to any dispute (e.g., that any proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum); and (y) agrees that it will not file any motion or
assert any defense in any such proceeding involving any such dispute that is inconsistent with the foregoing waivers and consent. 
 Article 29. Governing
Law

reference) shall comprise this Contract and shall together be referred to as the “Contract Documents.” 
 Upon discovery, Seller or
Purchaser shall promptly notify the other in writing of any conflicts, ambiguities, inconsistencies, errors, or omissions in, between or among any of Contract Documents or Applicable Legal Requirements and shall cooperate in effecting a resolution
of the same that is consistent with the principles expressed in this Article 31. In the event of any inconsistencies between this Contract and the other Contract Documents, the following order of precedence in the interpretation hereof or resolution
of such conflict hereunder shall prevail: 
  

	 	(i)	duly authorized and executed Change Orders and written amendments to this Contract executed by both Parties; 

  

	 	(ii)	this Contract; 

  

	 	(iii)	the Attachments; and 

  

	 	(iv)	Drawings produced and delivered pursuant to this Contract (in respect of which, precedence shall be given to Drawings of a larger scale over those of smaller, figured dimensions on

 Where an irreconcilable conflict exists among Applicable Legal Requirements, this Contract, the Drawings and the
specifications in the Materials, the earliest item mentioned in this sentence involving a conflict shall control over any later mentioned item or items subject to such conflict. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Article 31, if a conflict
exists within or between parts of the Contract Documents, or between the Contract Documents and Applicable Legal Requirements, the more stringent or higher quality requirements shall control. Where a conflict exists among Codes and Standards
applicable to Seller’s performance of the Work, the most stringent provision of such Codes and Standards shall govern.

thereof. Purchaser shall not make any disposition by way of transshipment, export, diversion or otherwise, except as such laws and regulations may expressly permit, of U.S.-origin goods and related technical data supplied by Seller. 
 Survival. The Articles with the following titles shall survive termination of this Contract: Taxes, Intellectual Property, General Indemnity, Limitation of
Liability, Proprietary Information and Miscellaneous Provisions.

any part of this Contract shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Contract, and the Parties request the applicable tribunal to construe and conform the invalid part to most closely reflect the intent of the Parties.

	1.0	INTRODUCTION 

  
 1.1 Summary of Test Program 
 Pursuant to the
Contract with Purchaser to provide Multiple Hearth Furnaces for Purchaser’s activated carbon facility, Seller will oversee a test program to measure and verify performance of the four (4) new MHFs to be provided under separate Multi-Hearth
Furnace Contracts. The purpose of this test program is to demonstrate the MHFs (individually and collectively) meet or exceed all of the mutually-agreed guarantee values established in the Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts, quantify the product
capacity of the MHFs, validate the quality of the MHF product, validate auxiliary power consumption, confirm total heat content of the offgas, and verify the controlled emissions of total suspended particulate (TSP), nitrogen compounds and sulfur
compounds. This test program is required only for the purpose of the Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts, and may or may not be part of any regulatory requirement or submission. The results of the testing program will provide information to confirm
performance of the Equipment supplied as part of the Multi-Hearth Furnace Contracts. This information will provide a basis for achievement of Substantial Completion. 
 The emission tests will be carried out in accordance with this document with input and assistance from Seller, Purchaser, the EPC Contractor, and the Independent Testing Company. Rigid sampling rules, testing
requirements, and chain-of-custody requirements may be waived by Purchaser at the recommendation of the Independent Testing Company. Seller will be responsible for coordinating the testing with Purchaser’s operators, the EPC Contractor, and the
Independent Testing Company. Purchaser’s Plant operators will be responsible for collecting all field samples. Seller and EPC Contractor will coordinate their efforts to produce the information to be gathered from the Project DCS system. An
Independent Testing Company will be responsible for collecting all gas and particulate emission samples and for obtaining all laboratory analyses of all samples, including, without limitation, feed material, product material and cyclone ash.

 Section 2.0 of this Attachment 7 presents a description of the Seller’s supply/source. Section 3.0 outlines the test program, objectives,
and test matrix. Section 4.0 describes the sampling locations to be used in this test program. Sampling and analysis methodologies are presented in Section 5.0. Quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures specific to this test
program are described in Section 6.0. Section 7.0 presents the general reporting format to be implemented in writing the final report.

	2.0	SOURCE DESCRIPTION 

  
 2.1 Process Description 
  

	*	

 2.2 Process Monitoring 
 Each MHF test program shall consist of a 24-hour continuous MHF operation (test run) with all testing to be concurrent with the 24-hour period. Specific individual
monitoring test data shall be taken and analyzed prior to any averaging of test data (Table 3-1 identifies proposed test data averaging). 
 During this test
program, the MHFs shall operate at not less than 100% of their guaranteed production capacity. For each test day, a minimum of hourly grab samples of * feedstock will be collected during the test run (timing of * grab sampling to be coordinated with
product sampling to account for MHF residence time). Each hourly sample will subsequently be analyzed in an independent laboratory to determine both proximate and ultimate analyses, and for high heating value. * 
 * 
 The above monitoring data will be included in the final
report. 
  

	3.0	TEST PROGRAM 

  
 3.1 Objectives 
 The purpose of this test
program is to measure the guaranteed parameters as outlined in the Performance Tests Table above, including *, auxiliary power consumption, * from each MHF. Oxygen will be measured by the Independent Testing Company in the *. Other gases and
particulate emissions testing will be conducted in accordance with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or ASTM test procedures. Table 3-1 lists the parameters to be measured, the sampling method, the sampling times, and test data averaging
for each test. 
 3.2 Test Matrix 
 Table 3-1 presents the sampling and analytical matrix to be used at the MHF Test. Emissions/Offgas sampling shall be at the * sampling location. Offgas grab samples will be taken and analyzed by an Independent Lab. Sampling/testing will not
be initiated until the start-up procedures have been completed and MHFs have stabilized at the desired production rate for the test.

 The following sections describe the sampling and analytical procedures to be utilized during the emissions
testing. 
 5.1 Volumetric Flow Rate Tests 
 The volumetric flowrate of the exhaust gases, at the * will be determined using EPA Methods 1 through 4. The required number of traverse points, in accordance with EPA Method 1, will be used. * measurements will be taken at each traverse
point during each test run. Duct temperature measurements will also be taken at each traverse point using a Type-K thermocouple and digital temperature readout. The duct static pressure will also be measured during each test run. Methods to be
considered are pitot tube and manometer set up and/or anemometer readings or other methods appropriate for this high temperature gas. 
 The MHF offgas
moisture content will be determined from the moisture catch of the constant rate sampling train during the emissions testing in accordance with EPA Method 4. A minimum sample volume of thirty (30) cubic feet will be collected during each of the
*-hour periods of the performance test. The moisture content of the flue gas will be calculated as the ratio of the moisture catch corrected to standard conditions to the sum of the dry sample volume and the moisture catch, both corrected to
standard conditions. 
 5.2 Offgas Particulate Tests 
 TSP matter will be quantified in accordance with EPA Method 5. The isokinetic tests will be performed every * hours. The EPA Method 5 sampling train will consist of a glass nozzle, a heated glass lined probe, a
pre-weighed quartz filter heated in an enclosed box, a set of six (6) glass impingers connected in series, and a vacuum pump and dry gas meter. At the completion of each test run the sampling train will be leak checked to ensure no leakage
greater than 0.02 cubic feet per minute. The sampling train operating

parameters will be recorded at each traverse point (i.e., temperature pressures and velocity head) on preprinted data sheets to be developed prior to the TSP
test. After the post leak check, the sampling train components will be taken to the clean up area. The following is a description of the TSP sampling recovery procedures. 
  

			
	Container 1	 	filter
		
	Container 2	 	acetone washings from nozzle, glass lined probe and front half of filter

 Sample containers 1 and 2 will be brought back to the Independent Testing Laboratory for gravimetric analysis.
Minimum duplicate weighing (constant weight) will be performed on each sample fraction at ambient temperature and ambient pressure. No external heat will be applied to either the filter or acetone washings. All weighing will meet the criteria for
constant weight measurements as specified in EPA Method 5. 
  

	*	

 The particulate size distribution in the gas stream will be measured
with an Andersen Mark III Cascade Impactor. The cyclone catch will be sent to an independent lab that specializes in particle size distribution analysis. 
 Gas stream particle distribution and cyclone bottoms solids distribution test data shall be presented in a graph format for comparison to cyclone removal guarantee. 
 5.3 Continuous Emissions Monitoring Tests 
 Flue gas CO2
sulfur dioxide (SO2) and Oxygen content will be measured with a properly calibrated, transportable, CEM system (Test CEMS) or with instruments
specialized for the specific constituents. Sampling and analysis will occur at the *. A daily instrument calibration check and individual test run system calibration check will be performed on each analyzer in accordance with EPA Methods 3A and 7E,
or other appropriate methods. 
 *-minute test runs for CEMS parameters will be performed with the data recorded electronically in one-minute averages. The
average concentration over the *-minute test period will be recorded for each test run.

 The CEMS will consist of heated probe, heated out-of-duct
filter, calibration valve, heated Teflon transfer sample line, system, leakless vacuum pump, Teflon transport line, sample gas manifold (with bypass vent), and individual flow control valve for each specific analyzer. Instrument calibrations will be
performed with National Institute of Standards and Technology-certified compressed gas mixtures of target gases with a nitrogen balance. A three (3) or four (4) point analyzer calibration error (<2%) check will be conducted, prior to
testing, by injecting the calibration gases directly into the gas analyzers and recording the responses. Zero (0) and upscale calibration checks are conducted both before and after each test run in order to quantify measurement system
calibration drift (<3%) and sampling system bias (<5%). During these checks, the calibration gases are introduced into the sampling system at the probe outlet so that the calibration gases are analyzed in the same manner as the MHF duct gas
samples. Drift is the difference between the pre- and post-test run calibration check responses. Sampling system bias is the difference between the test run calibration check responses (direct analyzer calibration) and the initial calibration error
responses (direct analyzer calibration) to the zero (0) and upscale calibration gases. 
 Analyzer outputs will be recorded continuously with a
PC-driven data acquisition system. One (1)- minute averages will be produced for each gas component. 
 5.3.1 Emissions Sample
Tests 
 *. Samples will be collected using the sample collection procedure described in EPA Method 3. Samples collected shall be
sufficient to allow the Independent Lab to provide a full offgas composition for *. The sealed samples will be transmitted to an independent laboratory for analysis, using ASTM D1946, Procedure for Fixed Gas Analysis. 
 5.3.2 Offgas Heat Content 
 The
chemical heating value of the gas will be calculated from determination of the combustible species in the gas by taking Tedlar bag samples for analysis by an Independent Testing Laboratory or by analysis with a semi-continuous, on-line
chromatograph. 
 Alternatively, the chemical heating value of the gas will be determined by analysis with a semi-continuous, on-line
calorimeter or a bomb calorimeter. 
 The * will be determined by determining the composition of the gas by taking Tedlar bag samples for
analysis by an Independent Testing Laboratory or by analysis with a semi-continuous, on-line chromatograph. The temperature of the gas will be taken by the thermocouple(s) and the * will be calculated from the composition, the specific heat
capacities and the temperature.

 5.5 Plant Control System Tests 

The production rate of activated carbon will be measured by a weighing device supplied by Purchaser or EPC Contractor outside of the scope of this Contract. The steam
usage will be measured by flow monitoring devices supplied as part of this Contract by Seller. The power consumption will be measured by an electric meter supplied by the Purchaser or EPC Contractor outside of the scope of this Contract. The data
output from these devices will be gathered by the plant DCS system and/or manually taken and recorded and stored. Purchaser and EPC Contractor will assist Seller in preparing a report from the stored data, which will be given to the Independent
Testing Company for inclusion in its final report. 
 5.6 Product Testing 
 Product samples will be sealed and transmitted to the Independent Lab or Purchaser to perform the ultimate and proximate analyses. These tests are the same as for the * testing with the added testing for product
density and Iodine number. 
 (What follows in Section 6 are typical quality control procedures and report formatting, which are not a part of this test
protocol, but which should be included in the Independent Testing Company’s protocol.)

	6.0	QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURES 

  

6.1 QC Procedures 
 Specific quality control
(QC) procedures will be followed to ensure the continuous production of useful and valid data throughout the course of this test program. The QC checks and procedures described in this section represent an integral part of the overall sampling and
analytical scheme. Strict adherence to prescribed procedures is quite often the most applicable QC check. A discussion of both the sampling and analytical QC checks that will be utilized during this program is presented below. 
 6.1.1 Equipment Inspection and Maintenance 
 Each item of field test equipment purchased by the Independent Testing Company is assigned a unique, permanent identification number. An effective preventative maintenance program is necessary to ensure data quality.
Each item of equipment that is returned from the field is inspected before it is returned to storage. During the course of these inspections, items are cleaned, repaired, reconditioned, and recalibrated where necessary. Each item of equipment
transported to the field for this test program is inspected again before being packed to detect equipment problems that may originate during periods of storage in an effort to minimize lost time on the job site due to equipment failure. Occasional
equipment failure in the field is unavoidable despite the most rigorous inspection and maintenance procedures. For this reason, independent testing companies routinely transport replacement equipment for all critical sampling train components to the
job site. 
 6.1.2 Equipment Calibrations 
 Prior to the start of the test program, Purchaser will receive copies of all sampling equipment calibrations and test CEMS calibration gas standards as described in their stack testing guidelines. 
 New items for which calibration is required are calibrated before initial field use. Equipment whose calibration status may change with use or time shall
be inspected in the field before testing begins and again upon return from each field use. When an item of equipment is found to be out of calibration, it will be repaired and recalibrated or retired from service. All equipment shall have been
periodically recalibrated in full, regardless of the outcome of these regular inspections. Calibrations shall be conducted in a manner and at a frequency which meets or exceeds EPA specifications. The Independent Testing Company shall follow the
calibration procedures outlined in the EPA Methods, and those recommended within the Quality Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems: Volume III (EPA-600/R94-038c). When these methods are inapplicable, the Independent Testing
Company shall use methods such as those prescribed by the ASTM. Data obtained during calibrations will be recorded on standardized forms, which are checked for completeness and accuracy by the Independent Testing Company. Data reduction and
subsequent calculations shall be performed using the Independent Testing Company’s computer facilities. Calculations shall be checked no less than twice for accuracy. Copies of calibration forms are included in the test report. 
 Emissions sampling equipment requiring calibration includes, without limitation, sampling nozzles, pitot tubes, pressure gauges, thermometers, dry gas
meters, and barometers.

on November 7, 2008 
  

 6.1.3 Analytical Quality Control Procedures 
 All analyses for this program will be performed using accepted laboratory procedures in accordance with the specified analytical protocols. Adherence to
prescribed QC procedures for the EPA Methods used for this test program will ensure data of consistent and measurable quality. Analytical QC will focus on the use of control standards to provide a measure of analytical precision and accuracy.
Reagent blanks and laboratory blanks will be used to check for contamination. Calibration procedures vary by analyzer. Each standard curve is run in duplicate and the mean values are used to calculate the calibration line. Also, specific acceptance
criteria are defined below for various analytical operations, including, without limitation, calibrations, control standard analyses, drift checks, and blanks.

 6.1.4 Calculations Quality Control Procedures 
 Calculations for determining flow rates, moisture contents, isokinetics, and particulate and gaseous concentrations are made using a computer program
developed by the Independent Testing Company. This program utilizes the calculation procedures and equations specified in EPA Methods 2, 4, 5 and 6C. The program has been successfully used for numerous test efforts and has been validated by
independent performance audits. Sample calculations are performed by the software program and a definition of terms will be provided in the final report. Data will be transported to the software directly from the field data sheets. 
 6.2 QA/QC Checks of Data Reduction 
 The
Independent Testing Company’s project manager will run an independent check (using a validated computer program) of the calculations with predetermined data before the field test to ensure that calculations done in the field are accurate. The
Independent Testing Company’s project manager will also conduct a spot check on-site to assure that data are being recorded accurately. After the test, the Independent Testing Company’s QA/QC manager will check the data input to assure
that the raw data have been transferred to the computer accurately.

 6.3 Sample Identification and Custody 
 Sample custody procedures for this program are based on EPA recommended procedures. Seller is responsible for ensuring that proper custody and documentation procedures
are followed for the field sampling and field analytical efforts. 
 All sampling data, including information regarding sampling times, locations, and any
specific considerations associated with sample acquisition are recorded in black ink on pre-formatted data sheets. Copies of completed field data sheets will be provided at the end of each day of testing. 
 Following sample collection, all samples are given a unique alphanumeric sample identification (ID) code. Sample labels and integrity seals are completed and affixed to
the sample container. An example sample ID is as follows: 
  

																					
		 	Test Method – Run Number – Sample Container (component) – Date/Time – Location
		 	        M29    –                 3    –    
         5C (HCl)                             
8-25-08/8AM         cyclone

 The remaining samples are stored in a secure area until shipment. The sample volumes are determined and recorded
and the liquid levels on each bottle are marked. All samples are packed and shipped according to U.S. Department of Transportation guidelines. As the samples are packed for shipment to the appropriate laboratories, chain-of-custody forms are
completed for each shipment box, and these forms are enclosed in each respective box. Samples will be held by the laboratories for the maximum holding periods.

 NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT 
 THIS NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of April 23, 2007 by and between ADA-ES, Inc. (“ADA”) and Industrial Furnace Company
(the “Company”). In connection with discussions between ADA and the Company (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”) regarding a proposed transaction between
them (the “Proposed Transaction”), each of the Parties may receive from time to time hereafter Confidential Information from the other. The Parties agree as follows: 
 I. Confidential Information. 
 (a) for purposes hereof
“Confidential Information” shall mean any and all materials and information which any Party makes available to the other Party or which has or may come into possession of any Party in connection with the Proposed Transaction
and which is labeled or marked confidential, including, without limitation, the following: information relating to the business, financial condition, operations, assets and liabilities of a Party or its affiliates; business plans; software programs
and enhancements, upgrades and modifications thereof; user and other manuals; documents; specifications; financial reports, statements and projections; client lists, marketing material, data, data listing, and other information; project plans and
case studies; references; and all copies, summaries, outlines or other representations of any of the foregoing. 
 (b) The Confidential
Information will be used by the Parties solely for the purpose of evaluating the Proposed Transaction. 
 (c) Each Party hereby acknowledges
that the Confidential Information obtained by it is valuable and proprietary trade secret information of the other Party, the disclosure of which would be harmful to such other Party. Each Parry agrees to hold such Confidential Information in the
strictest confidence and not to disclose same or release it to any other person except to its Representatives (as defined below) who need to know the information for purposes of evaluating the Proposed Transaction and as otherwise permitted
hereunder. It is further agreed that each Party shall take reasonable measures to ensure that its agents, representatives, officers, directors, employees, consultants, agencies or potential financial or equity partners (collectively,
“Representatives”) do not disclose such Confidential Information, except as permitted hereunder. 
 (d) No Party will
reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile or copy the Confidential Information except as permitted hereunder. No Party shall, directly or indirectly (including in the conduct of its business), use, or permit to be used, the Confidential Information
obtained from any other Party to that other Party’s detriment, whether or not the former Party benefits from such detrimental use. 
 (e) The term person as used in this Agreement shall be broadly interpreted to include, without limitation, the media, any governmental agency, department or other body or instrumentality and any corporation, partnership,
limited liability company, association, group, individual or other entity.

on November 7, 2008 
  

 2. Excluded Information. The term “Confidential Information” does not include any Confidential
Information disclosed by a Party which (a) at the time of disclosure to the receiving Party or thereafter is generally available to and known by the public (other than as a result of a disclosure in violation of this Agreement), (b) was
available to such Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Party, provided that such a source is not and was not bound by a confidentiality agreement with such Party, or (c) has been independently acquired or developed by
such Party without violating any of the obligations under this Agreement. Confidential Information shall not be deemed to fall within the exceptions of subparts (a) to (c) above merely because it is included in a document which also
includes information that does fall within such exceptions. 
 3. Other Disclosures. In addition to the foregoing, each Party will not disclose to any
person (other than to such party’s Representatives), without the prior written consent of the other Party, that (a) any investigations, discussions or negotiations are taking place concerning the Proposed Transaction, (b) the
Confidential Information has been exchanged, (c) a Party has expressed an interest or submitted an indication of interest in connection with the Proposed Transaction, or (d) any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to such
indication of interest of the Proposed Transaction, including the status thereof, other than the fact that a Party is no longer pursuing the Proposed Transaction in the event such Party decides not to pursue the Proposed Transaction. Nothing
contained herein shall in any way prohibit any of ADA’S direct or indirect subsidiaries or their respective Representatives, from providing any information, data and/or advice to, or entering into any transactions with, third parties which may
involve the assets which are the subject of the Proposed Transaction; provided, that, such subsidiaries and its Representatives do not use or disclose any Confidential Information of the Company or its affiliates that is prohibited from disclosure
hereby. 
 4. Legally Compelled Disclosures. In the event that a Party becomes legally compelled (by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents,
order, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a government body) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, prompt prior written notice of any such requirement shall be
provided to the other Party so that such Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, and
irrespective of whether or not compliance with the provisions hereof is waived, only that portion of the Confidential Information which the Party subject to such legal compulsion is advised in writing by its counsel is legally required to be
disclosed shall be disclosed and reasonable efforts shall be made to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information. 
 5. Return of Information. If so requested by a Party, (i) all Confidential Information shall be returned to the originating Party or destroyed by the receiving Party, at the receiving Party’s option, and (ii) each
Party shall destroy all additional copies of the other Party’s Confidential Information in its possession and all copies of any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents prepared, used or created containing or reflecting any
Confidential Information. 
 6. Representations. The originating Party hereby represents and warrants that it has the right and authority to disclose
the Confidential Information disclosed or to be disclosed by it, pursuant to, and for the purposes of, this Agreement and shall indemnify and hold the receiving Party harmless for any liability incurred by it to third parties resulting from the
breach of such representation and warranty.

on November 7, 2008 
  

 
Each Party hereby acknowledges that although each Party shall endeavor to include in the Confidential Information provided by such Party all information
known to such Party which such Party believes to be relevant for the purpose of the other Party’s investigation, unless otherwise stated in writing, neither Party has made or shall make any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to
the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information. 
 7. Equitable Relief; Jurisdiction. Each Party agrees that a Party shall be entitled
to seek equitable relief, including without limitation, injunctive relief and specific performance, in the event of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement by the other Party, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.
Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Colorado or of the United States of America located in the State of Colorado for any actions, suits or proceedings
arising out of or relating to this Agreement and each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement, in such courts, and hereby further
irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Parties irrevocably waive any right to a.
trial by jury for any claims or counterclaims arising hereunder. 
 8. Miscellaneous. The Parties understand and agree that no contract or agreement
providing for the entering into of the Proposed Transaction shall be deemed to exist between the Parties as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or in connection with the exchange of the Confidential Information unless and until
a further written agreement has been executed and delivered. This Agreement may be modified or waived only by a separate writing signed by each of the Parties. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Parties regarding its subject
matter and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, arrangements and discussions between the Parties regarding such subject matter. It is further understood and agreed that no failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or
privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder. Each Party agrees that all of the
provisions of this Agreement will apply to all affiliates of the Parties, as such term may be broadly interpreted, to the same extent as if they were signatories to this Agreement. This Agreement is for the benefit of the Parties and their
successors in interest. This Agreement maybe executed in two or more counterparts, with each counterpart constituting a single original. This Agreement shall terminate upon the sooner to occur of the execution by the Parties of a definitive
agreement in connection with a Proposed Transaction and two (2) years from the date hereof.

on November 7, 2008 
  

  
 1 The
Contractor and the Surety, jointly and severally, bind themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns to the Owner for the performance of the Construction Contract, which is incorporated herein by reference. Where Surety
is composed of entities acting as co-sureties, the co-sureties bind themselves and their successors and assigns, in the amount of this bond (the “Amount”) jointly and severally as well as severally only for the purpose of
allowing a joint action or actions against any or all of the co-sureties, and for all other purposes each co-surety binds itself, jointly and severally with Contractor for the payment of the Amount. 
 2 If the Contractor performs the Construction Contract, the Surety and the Contractor shall have no obligation under this Bond. 
 3 If there is no Owner Default, the Surety’s obligation under this Bond shall arise after: 
 3.1 The Owner has provided written notice to the Contractor and the Surety at its address described in Paragraph 10 below that the Owner is considering declaring a Contractor Default. If the Owner, the Contractor
and the Surety agree, the Contractor shall be allowed a reasonable time but in no event more than thirty (30) days after such notice, to perform the Construction Contract, but such an agreement shall not waive the Owner’s right, if any, subsequently to declare a Contractor Default; and 
 3.2 The Owner has declared a Contractor Default and formally terminated the Contractor’s right to complete the Construction Contract; and 
 3.3 The Owner has agreed to pay the Balance of the Contract Price to the Surety in accordance with the terms of the Construction Contract or to a contractor acceptable to Owner to perform the Construction Contract
in accordance with the terms of the contract with the Owner. 
 4 When the Owner has satisfied the conditions of Paragraph 3, the Surety shall
promptly and at the Surety’s expense take one of the following actions; 
 4.1 Arrange for the Contractor, with consent of the
Owner, to perform and complete the Construction Contract; or 
 4.2 Obtain bids or negotiated proposals from qualified contractors
acceptable to the Owner for a contract for performance and completion of the Construction Contract, arrange for a contract to be prepared for execution by the Owner and the contractor selected with the Owner’s concurrence to be secured with
performance and payment bonds executed by a qualified surety equivalent to the bonds issued on the Construction Contract, and pay to the Owner the amount of damages described in Paragraph 6 in excess of the Balance of the Contract Price incurred by
the Owner resulting from the Contractor’s default; or 
 4.3 Waive its right to perform and complete or obtain a new contractor
and with reasonable promptness under the circumstances: 
 4.3.1 After investigation, determine the amount for which it maybe liable to
the Owner and, as soon as practicable after the amount is determined, tender payment therefor to the Owner; or 
 4.3.2 Deny liability
in whole or in part and notify the Owner citing reasons therefor. 
 5 If the Surety doers not proceed as provided in Paragraph 4 with reasonable
promptness, the Surety shall be deemed to be in default on this Bond fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from the Owner to the Surety demanding that the Surety perform its obligations under this Bond, and the Owner shall be
entitled to enforce any remedy available to the Owner. If the Surety proceeds as provided in Subparagraph 4.3, and the Owner refuses the payment tendered or the Surety has denied liability, in whole or in part, without further notice the Owner shall
be entitled to enforce any remedy available to the Owner. 
 6 After the Owner has terminated the Contractor’s right to complete the Construction
Contract, and if the Surety elects to act under Subparagraph 4.1 or 4.2, above, then the responsibilities of the Surety to the Owner shall not be greater than those of the Contractor under the Construction Contract, and the responsibilities of the
Owner to the Surety shall not be greater than those of the Owner under the Construction Contract. To the limit of the amount of this Bond, but subject to commitment by the Owner of the Balance of the Contract Price to mitigation of costs and damages
on the Construction Contract, the Surety is obligated without duplication for: 
 6.1 The responsibilities of the Contractor for
correction of defective work and completion of the Construction Contract; 
 6.2 Additional legal, design professional and delay costs
resulting from the Contractor’s Default, and resulting from the actions or failure to act of the Surety under Paragraph 4; and 
 6.3 Liquidated Damages, in no case less than actual damages caused by delayed performance or non-performance of the Contractor. 
 7 No
right of action shall accrue on this Bond to any person or entity other than the Owner or its heirs, executors, administrators or successors. 
 8 The
Surety hereby waives notice of any change, including changes of time, to the Construction Contract or to related subcontractors, purchase orders and other obligations. Surety hereby stipulates and agrees that no change extension of time, amendment,
modification or addition to the terms of the Construction Contract or the work to be performed thereunder shall in any way affect its obligations under this bond. 
 9 Any proceeding, legal or equitable, under this Bond may be instituted in any court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Construction Contract and shall be instituted
within two (2) years after Contractor Default or within two years after the Contractor ceased working or within two (2) years after the Surety refuses or fails to perform its obligations under this Bond, whichever occurs first. If the
provisions of this Paragraph are void or prohibited by law, the minimum period of limitation available to sureties as a defense in the jurisdiction shall be applicable.

 GUARANTY 
 This GUARANTY (this “Guaranty”), dated as of
                    , 2008 is made by ADA-ES, Inc., a corporation validly existing under the laws of the state of Colorado,
(“Guarantor”) in favor of Industrial Furnace Company, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the state of New York (“IFCO”). 
 WHEREAS, IFCO and Red River Environmental Products, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the state of Delaware (“Purchaser”), intend to enter into certain Multiple Hearth Furnace (MHF) Contracts (Crowfoot
Project) (the “Contracts”), for four (4) multi-hearth furnaces and associated equipment, together with certain installation support and training services in connection with Purchaser’s project (“Project”) located on the
south side of Parish Road 604 in Armistead, Red River Parish, Louisiana, (“Site”); 
 WHEREAS, Purchaser and IFCO are parties to a Limited Notice
to Proceed dated December 27, 2007, as amended and extended pursuant to letter agreements dated February 8, 2008, March 13, 2008 and April 8, 2008 (as amended and extended, the “Limited Notice to Proceed”) relating
to the Project 
 WHEREAS, Purchaser is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Guarantor and, accordingly, Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect
economic benefit from the undertakings of IFCO to the Purchaser pursuant to the Contracts; 
 WHEREAS, Purchaser has agreed to cause Guarantor to guarantee
its performance under the Limited Notice to Proceed and work under and pursuant to the Contracts occurring on or before the Financial Close for the Project, on, and to the extent, of the terms of this Guaranty; 
 WHEREAS, IFCO has agreed to accept this Guaranty from Guarantor, and in reliance on this Guaranty to enter into the Contracts; and 
 WHEREAS, Guarantor has agreed to guarantee the obligations of Purchaser as described in this Guaranty. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, the adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, IFCO and Guarantor hereby agree as follows:

 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Contracts. 
 2. Guaranty. Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the due, punctual and complete payment and performance of each and every
obligation of Purchaser under the Limited Notice to Proceed and work under and pursuant to the Contracts occurring on or before the Financial Close for the Project, whether such obligation presently exists or is created, incurred or arising from
time to time hereafter, all as and when required to be performed under the Limited Notice to Proceed and the Contracts, in all respects strictly in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations contained in the Limited Notice to Proceed and
the Contracts (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees that if for any reason whatsoever Purchaser shall fail or be unable to duly, punctually and fully pay or perform any Guaranteed Obligation as and when due, Guarantor
shall, in the event of a Purchaser Event of Default in performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations by Purchaser under the Limited Notice to Proceed and the Contracts, upon written demand of IFCO, with prior written notice to Purchaser,
forthwith pay or perform or cause to be performed

such Guaranteed Obligation, without regard to any exercise or non-exercise by IFCO of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of the
Limited Notice to Proceed and the Contracts against Purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a termination of the Limited Notice to Proceed and the Contracts by IFCO for an
Event of Default by Purchaser occurring on or before the date of the Financial Close for the Project, if any, shall not impair, diminish, release or otherwise affect Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. This Guaranty is a guarantee of payment and
performance and not of collection. All payments by Guarantor hereunder shall be made by deposit of immediately available funds to an account identified by IFCO. The Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. dollars
and in the manner required for the relevant payment due from Purchaser under the Limited Notice to Proceed. This Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect until the earlier of (i) Financial Close for the Project or (ii) Purchaser or
Guarantor shall have satisfactorily performed or fully discharged all of the Guaranteed Obligations; provided, however notwithstanding any provision in this Guaranty to the contrary, Guarantor shall have the full benefit of all defenses, setoffs,
counterclaims, reductions, diminution or limitations of any Guaranteed Obligations available to Purchaser pursuant to or arising from the Limited Notice to Proceed and the Contracts or otherwise and Guarantor’s obligations and liability arising
from this Guaranty shall be no greater than that of Purchaser under the Limited Notice to Proceed and the portions of the Contracts to be performed prior to the Financial Close for the Project. 
 3. Guaranty Absolute. The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective
of: 
 (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Limited Notice to Proceed or the Contracts or any
other agreement or instrument relating thereto to which Purchaser or Guarantor is a party unless the invalidity or unenforceability of such Guaranteed Obligation results from the successful assertion of invalidity or unenforceability by IFCO or
Purchaser; 
 (b) any failure to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of, the Limited Notice to Proceed or the
Contracts or any liability of any other party (including, but not limited to, any other guarantor) with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Limited Notice to Proceed or the Contracts, or any subordination of the payment or
performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations to the payment or performance of any other indebtedness, liability or other obligations of the Purchaser; 
 (c) any furnishing to IFCO of any other guarantee or collateral for any Guaranteed Obligation or any exchange, non-perfection, failure to preserve, waste, deterioration, sale or disposition of any collateral, or any
release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty of or security for the performance of all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; 
 (d) the insolvency of Purchaser or the Guarantor or any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, arrangement, dissolution or liquidation of Purchaser or
the Guarantor or any defense which Purchaser or the Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding or Purchaser making a general assignment for the benefit of its
creditors or admitting in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due; 
 (e) any change in ownership of Purchaser or any
change, whether direct or indirect, in Guarantor's relationship to Purchaser, including, but not limited to, any such change by reason of any merger or any sale, transfer, issuance, admission or withdrawal of partners, or other disposition of any
equity interest of Purchaser, Guarantor or any other entity; 
 (f) any change in or waiver of the time, place or manner of payment, or any
other term, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any waiver of or any renewal, extension, increase, amendment or modification of or addition, consent or supplement

Contracts (any such change, waiver, renewal, extension, increase, amendment, modification, addition, consent, supplement, deletion or other action or inaction with respect to the Contracts automatically becoming part of the Guaranteed Obligations)

and notice of any of the matters referred to in Section 3 hereof; 
 (c) any requirement that IFCO act with promptness or
diligence in enforcing its rights under the Limited Notice to Proceed or the Contracts or this Guaranty;

or enforce a claim against the estate (either in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of Purchaser or any other Person; 
 (e) any defense based upon any election of remedies by IFCO or any taking, modification or release of any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, or any failure to perfect any security interest in, or the taking of, or failure to take

assets is bound or to which it is subject; and 
 (d) As of the date hereof, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the

 Attachment 16 
 Site Requirements 
 SAFETY, HEALTH AND
ENVIRONMENTAL SITE REQUIREMENTS 
 Seller is responsible for the safety and health of
its employees. Full compliance with OSHA, MSHA, and ANSI Standards incorporated by reference, federal, state, and local regulations is mandatory. In addition, BE&K requires that Seller and its employees comply with the following requirements on
all BE&K projects, in addition to Purchaser requirements. 
  

	1.	Safety and Health Orientation. Each Seller employee must attend the BE&K Safety Orientation and the Site-specific client portion of the orientation, if required.
Normally, such orientations will typically be two (2) hours in duration, but this is an estimate for planning purposes only. 

  

	2.	Written Safety and Health Program. Seller must have a written safety and health program, and written Hazard Communication Program. 

  

	3.	Personal Protective Equipment and Clothing (Seller will avoid costly delays by ensuring that all its employees have, or are provided, required PPE and clothing).


  

	 	a)	Safety glasses that meet ANSI Z-87.1 requirements must be worn at all times when on BE&K projects except in administrative areas. Safety glasses must have rigid side shields. No
contact lenses are to be worn in the work area unless required for medical reasons, excluding administrative areas. 

  

	 	b)	Goggles and a face shield must be worn when cutting or grinding, or in designated areas. 

  

	 	c)	Hard soled, safety toed shoes or boots (ANSI Z-41 approved) are required to be worn while working on all BE&K projects. Such footwear is not required in administrative areas.
Tennis shoe or athletic shoe style safety shoes are not permitted. 

  

	 	d)	Hard hats (not bump caps) are required, and must conform to ANSI Z-89.1, Class B. Hard hats are required to be worn with the bill forward (except for welders wearing hoods) on all
BE&K projects. The hard hat must not be painted and must have Subcontractor’s identification logo or name on the front of the hat. 

  

	 	e)	Hearing protection must be worn whenever noise is measured above 90dB, or normal conversation cannot be conducted, or when the area is posted as noise-hazardous.


  

	 	f)	Shirts must have at least a four-inch (4”) sleeve and shirttails must be tucked into the trousers unless welding. Trousers must never be tucked into boots. Tank tops and
shorts are prohibited. Perforated or mesh shirts and pants are prohibited. Nylon or polyester clothing is prohibited where it may be exposed to fire or excessive heat. 

  

	 	g)	Neck ties, hair below the top of the shoulders, finger rings, including wedding bands, dangling necklaces, bracelets, or ear rings must never be worn on BE&K project
non-administrative areas. 

  

	 	h)	Full-body style safety harnesses, dual shock absorbing fall protection lanyards and devices to attach lanyards to beams, such as beam straps, will be used on BE&K projects as
described below. 

  

	 	i)	Abrasion resistant gloves must be carried by each worker and worn when handling any sharp or abrasive materials that could cause hand injury. Gloves must not be worn around rotating
equipment. All gloves will be provided by the subcontractor to their workers at no cost to the employee. 

  

	4.	Fall Protection 

  

	 	a)	On all BE&K construction projects, one hundred percent (100%) fall protection is required when working more than six feet (6’) above the next lowest level,
whether through installation of railing systems, use of fall protection harnesses and lanyards, or any other OSHA approved method. On maintenance projects, the fall protection height requirements may be four feet (4’).

on November 7, 2008 
  


	 	b)	When erecting or working on steel structures, the preferred method is to pre-install railing systems and other fall protection devices such as life-lines that facilitate tie-off.
The first access for initial connection of steel beams should be in a JLG-type bucket lift but it may be conducted by climbing vertical beams if tied-off to a retractable lifeline. Subsequent access to steel for bolt-up must be by personal lifting
devices such as stairs, JLG-type bucket lifts, ladders, or scaffolds. When on steel, one hundred percent (100%) tie-off is always required when above six feet. (6’)

  

	 	c)	When erecting or dismantling scaffolds on a construction Site, one hundred percent (100%) fall protection is required above six feet (6’). On maintenance sites, fall
protection may be required above four feet (4’). 

  

	 	d)	Fall protection harnesses must be worn and a retractable lifeline used anytime a worker is climbing or descending on scaffold ladders that are more than 15 feet above the ground of
the next lowest level. The retractable lanyard must be attached to a suitable anchor- point. 

  

	 	e)	When working on incomplete scaffolds, such as those that are “BE&K yellow-tagged”, 100% tie-off is required. 

  

	 	f)	Fall protection harnesses and lanyards must be inspected by a competent person monthly. 

  

	 	g)	When in JLG-type baskets, fall protection must be worn and all workers tied-off. 

  

	 	h)	Roof leading edge protection must be provided when working within six feet (6’) of the edge when that edge is more than six feet (6’) above the next lowest
level. 

 FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FALL PROTECTION CRITERIA ABOVE (4a-h) SHALL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE REMOVAL OF THE VIOLATING
EMPLOYEE. 
  

	5.	Ladders 

  

	 	a)	Only fiberglass or wooden ladders are allowed on BE&K projects. Metal ladders are prohibited. Purchaser requirements may not permit wooden ladders; you must check.


  

	 	b)	Extension ladders will be held at the base until tied-off at the top.

arranged for that service from the client/owner or an outside service company. Seller must check to see if rescue forces from the fire department will be on hand and include training, equipping, and the standby of rescue personnel for its personnel
who may enter permit-required confined spaces. 

  

	 	d)	If BE&K personnel are also in the confined space, BE&K will conduct continuous atmospheric monitoring. When there is no BE&K personnel in the space, the Subcontractor is
