ARTICLE 7 – COMPRESSION, PUMPING AND METERING EQUIPMENT








	
  

	
7.1

	
Company, at its expense, will provide necessary utilities for the compression, pumping and metering equipment up to the CO2 Delivery Point.  Company, at its expense, will install appropriate temperature and pressure compensated metering equipment, which shall be suitable for metering the volume, in SCFH, prior to compression to the final delivery pressure specified in Article 4, and other agreed parameters of the CO2.  Company will maintain and operate such metering equipment to measure the quantities of CO2 delivered to Cambridge.  The Parties shall use industry standards to calibrate and correct meters to be used for measuring CO2.  Company will install equipment to enable appropriate and relevant data transmission from the metering equipment to Cambridge.













	
  

	
7.2

	
Company, at its expense, will test and calibrate the metering equipment at semi-annual intervals determined by Company.   Cambridge may have representatives present during these tests.  Readings will be corrected to cubic feet measured at 70 degrees Fahrenheit and 14.696 pounds per square inch absolute pressure.  In addition to such semi-annual calibrations, Company shall test the metering equipment upon Cambridge’s request, but not more than two additional tests per calendar year, in the presence of Cambridge’s representatives.  If the metering equipment is found on such test to be accurate, as defined below, then Cambridge shall reimburse Company for the cost and expense of any test requested by Cambridge.  However, if on any test requested by Cambridge the metering equipment is found to be inaccurate then the Company shall pay the cost and expense of the test and of correcting the inaccuracy in the metering equipment.  If, on any test, the metering equipment is found to be inaccurate, a correcting invoice will be rendered to cover the actual amount of CO2 delivered to Cambridge through the metering equipment for last one half (1/2) of the period from the date such metering equipment was last tested and considered accurate to the date on which the metering equipment was found to be inaccurate.  If, on any test of the metering equipment its inaccuracy is not over two percent (2%), either plus or minus, the metering equipment will be considered accurate.







 




  





8











  






 



	
  

	
7.3

	
At Cambridge’s request, Company shall provide to Cambridge, at the metering equipment site, signals from Company’s flow measuring equipment indicating CO2 volume.  Cambridge may, at its expense, transmit such signals to Cambridge’s plant or other facilities. However, only Company’s determination of CO2 volume shall be used for purposes of administering this Agreement.












ARTICLE 8 – CONTRACT PRICE








	
  

	
8.1

	
Each calendar month, on a day within that calendar month and as near as practicable to the last business day of such month, Company will read the metering equipment installed pursuant to Article 7.1 to determine the quantity of CO2 delivered to Cambridge during such calendar month.  Company will provide reasonable advanced notice of the timing of such meter reading.  Cambridge may have a representative present during these readings.  Based upon the Company’s determination of the quantity of CO2 delivered to Cambridge during such calendar month, Company will invoice Cambridge, and Cambridge will pay Company, in accordance with the prices set forth below plus the amount of any sales, use or other excise tax now or hereafter imposed by reason of the sale or delivery of the quantities of CO2 reflected by the readings.







 




  





9











  






 


a)            Beginning with the First Delivery Date through the first full calendar year following the First Delivery Date, the price of CO2 delivered to Cambridge shall be $20.00 per ton. 


 


b)            The price of CO2 delivered to Cambridge for each year of the Agreement shall be adjusted annually at the beginning of each calendar year after the first full calendar year after the First Delivery Date.  In no case shall the Contract Price be less than $20.00 per ton.  The price shall be changed according to the following formulas: 


 


 Price(y) = $20.00 * [0.50 * PPI(y-1) / PPI(0) + 0.50] 


 



Where:




 



	
  

	
Ø

	
Price(y)   is the Price (in $/ton) in a subsequent year Y







 



	
  

	
Ø

	
PPI(y-1)    is the Producer Price Index for December of the immediately preceding year.







 



	
  

	
Ø

	
PPI(0)     is the Producer Price Index for December of the year of the First Delivery Date at the Facility.







 


Note:  An alternate equation would be:


 


 Price(X) = $20.00 * 1⁄2 [1 + PPI(x-1) / PPI(0)] 


 


These formulas are intended to cause the price to change by one half of the change in the Producer Price Index for December of the immediately  preceding year divided by the Producer Price Index for December of the previous year after the first full calendar year following the First Delivery Date, multiplied by [*] per ton.


 




  





10











  












	
  

	
8.2

	
Cambridge shall take, or if not taken, shall pay for, at the price set forth in Article 8.1, all CO2 produced and delivered by the Facility in accordance with Article 2.1. However, Cambridge shall not be required to pay for CO2 when (a) CO2 is rejected by Cambridge for the CO2’s failure to comply with the specification referred to in Article 3.1 or (b) a force majeure event affecting Cambridge or Company exists as provided in Article 11.1.   Notwithstanding the above, Cambridge shall sequester all CO2 exempted from the take or pay requirement by virtue of (a) or (b) above, unless Cambridge’s ability to sequester is curtailed due to a force majeure event.













	
  

	
8.3

	
Terms of payment will be net twenty (20) days following Cambridge’s receipt of invoice.  If Cambridge fails to make timely payment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Company reserves the right, among other remedies, to:  (a) assess a late payment charge against the unpaid portion of such invoiced amount at an interest rate of 1.5% per month from the first day following said twenty (20) day period until payment is received, provided however, said interest rate shall not be higher than that permitted by law; and/or (b) suspend deliveries hereunder or terminate this Agreement.













	
  

	
8.4

	
The parties to this Agreement acknowledge the potential value of Electronic Data Interchange (“EDI”) for invoicing and payment of invoices and therefore agree that if either party desires to implement EDI, then Cambridge and Company shall, following a request for EDI implementation, negotiate in good faith to implement EDI for Company’s invoices to Cambridge and Cambridge’s payment to Company hereunder.  However, neither Party shall be obligated to implement EDI system.







 




  





11











  








 



	
  

	
8.5

	
The price adjustment indices used in the price formulas set forth in Articles 8.1 and 8.2 are defined as follows:













	
  

	
PPI means the annualized average monthly Producer Price Index – Industrial Commodities (where the base is 1982=100) published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.













	
  

	
8.6

	
If the index PPI referred to above is revised and published on some base other than 1982=100, the values of PPI used in the price formula in Article 8.1 will be adjusted to the new base in accord with such conversation schedule, or factor as may be supplied by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.  If the publication containing PPI cease to exist or generate the necessary data, Company and Cambridge shall agree to the selection of a new index, which is based on similar information.













	
  

	
8.7

	
Company will calculate changes in prices using the formula set forth in Article 8.1 according to changes in the price adjustments indices.  Adjustments shall be implemented annually effective as of the first day of January  based on any changes to PPI.












ARTICLE 9 – CARBON CREDITS








	
  

	
9.1

	
Cambridge shall make all efforts to qualify for the certification of Carbon Credits as they are anticipated and ultimately earned from any EOR and/or sequestration activity Cambridge may undertake.   CMT will assist Cambridge in its efforts.  The Company shall cooperate with Cambridge as Cambridge seeks recognition of CO2 which is, or has been, sequestered or otherwise used for EOR, as “banked units” in anticipation of future qualification as certified credits.







 




  





12











  






 


ARTICLE 10 – TAXES








	
  

	
10.1

	
If at any time during the term of this Agreement any tax, other than a net income or excess profits tax or general franchise tax imposed on corporations on account of their right to do business within the state as a foreign corporation and other than a tax covered by Article 8.1 or 8.2, is newly imposed on Company by any governmental authority which directly increases Company’s costs incurred in the production, sale or delivery of CO2 to Cambridge hereunder, or if, due to rate change or other actions of a governmental authority, there is an increase in any such tax presently existing, then Cambridge will reimburse Company therefore on a prorated basis related to all sales of CO2 by Company to the extent that Company’s costs for production, sale or delivery hereunder are directly increased thereby.  Likewise, if any such tax shall be eliminated or if there shall be decrease in the rate of such tax, Company will credit Cambridge on prorated basis related to all sales of CO2 by Company through Company’s Pipeline an amount equal to the reduction in tax which is realized by Company.













	
  

	
10.2

	
Cambridge shall furnish Company proper evidence of exemption to establish exemptions from taxes, fees, and other charges now in effect or thereafter imposed by any governmental authority on or with respect to production sale or delivery of CO2 by Company.
