(1)           Braskem maynot refuse to receive naphtha with paraffinicity below the minimum specification due to the price adjustment set forth in item 6.4 of this Agreement.


(2)           Due to the current inability to verify this parameter in the laboratories of Petrobras, the Parties will agree to a minimum period for this item to come to be included in technical specifications.


The Parties agree to control the specification of CS2 based on the moving average weighted by the quantity of each batch over the last 30 (thirty) days of supply, establishing a maximum average value of 7 (seven) ppm as a limit, the maximum limit for individual batches being 15 (fifteen) ppm.  If the moving average for the last 30 (thirty) days exceeds 7 (seven) ppm, the maximum unit per batch will come to be 10 (ten) ppm.


The CS2 specification will only be applied to naphtha delivered to UNIB-BA.  The Parties  agree to include the CS2 specification to naphtha delivered to UNIB-RS and assess its limits if Braskem  verifies the occurrence of a problem related to this item.

(3)           The Parties will both monitor, based on analysis carried out by Braskem, the mercury content of naphtha supplied by Petrobras.  If it’s verified that monthly average of mercury content in naphtha supplied by Petrobras exceeds the limit of 5 ppb, the Parties will define by mutual agreement the inclusion of this technical quality specification item.

2. Example  of the price calculation for a hypothetical supply in February 2009:


 


2.1. Calculation of the Parameters:


 


Ethylene




Quarterly contract price from the Northwestern Europe ethylene market (Ethylene CP NEW), published by the ICIS, in Euros, converted to US$/t with the exchange rate published by the Central Bank of Brazil.  The application of the formula considers the [*] average of the quotations for the last [*] prior to supply [*].


 


[*]


 


Ethylene = [*] / [*]  = [*] US$/t


 


Propylene


 


Monthly contract price of the polymer-grade propylene in the U.S. Gulf market (Propylene GP USG), published by the ICIS, in US$/t.  The application of the formula considers the [*] average of the quotations for the last [*] prior to supply [*]. 


 


[*]


 


Propylene = [*] / [*] = [*] US$/t 


 


Benzene




Daily spot price of benzene in the U.S. Gulf market (Benzene SP USG), published by Platts, multiplied by a factor of 3.01308 in order to transform US$ cents/gallon to US$/t.  The application of the formula considers the [*] average of the quotations for the last [*] prior to supply [*]. 


 


Benzene = Benzene SP USG (average of the daily quotes from [*] to [*]) x 3.01308 = [*] US$ cents/Gal x 3.01308 = [*] US$/t


ARA


Daily average price of Physical Naphtha on the Northwestern Europe market (NWE CIF ARA), published by Platts, in US$/t.  The application of the formula considers the [*] average of the quotations for the last [*] prior to supply [*]. 




 




31



 









 








 







 


ARA = NWE CIF ARA average of the daily quotes from [*] to [*]) = [*] US$/t


Marlim


Daily quotation of Marlim petroleum, published by Platts, multiplied by a factor of 6.72 in order to convert US$/bbl to US$/t.  The application of the formula considers the [*] average of the quotations for the last [*] prior to supply [*]. 


Marlim = Marlim quotation (average of the daily quotes from [*] to [*]) x 6.72 Marlim = [*] US$/bbl x 6.72 = [*] US$/t


KET      Ethylene CP NWE / naphtha ARA


Factor updated for each calendar [*] and calculated as the ratio of the [*] average quotations of Ethylene CP NWE over the last [*] and the [*] average quotations of naphtha NWE CIF ARA over the last [*].


KET (2009) = Ethylene CP NWE (average of the quotes of [*]) / NWE CIF ARA (average daily quotes of [*])
KET (2009) = [*] / [*]= [*] 


KPR      Propylene CP USG / naphtha ARA


Factor updated for each calendar [*] and calculated as the ratio of the [*] average quotations of Propylene CP USG over the last [*] and the [*] average quotations of naphtha NWE CIF ARA over the last [*].


KPR (2009) = Propylene  CP USG (average of daily quotes [*]) / NWE CIF ARA (average of daily quotes of [*])
KPR (2009) = [*] / [*]= [*] 


KBZ      Benzene SP USG / naphtha ARA


Factor updated for each calendar [*] and calculated as the ratio of the [*] average quotations of Benzene SP USG over the last [*] and the [*] average quotations of naphtha NWE CIF ARA over the last [*].


KBZ (2009) = Benzene SP USG (average of daily quotes of [*]) / NWE CIF ARA (average of daily quotes of [*])
KPR (2009) = ([*] x [*]) / [*]  = [*] / [*]= [*] 


2.2.      Price calculation of Naphtha US$/t:


Naphtha (US$/t) = [*]  x Ethylene + [*]  x Propylene + [*]  x Benzene + [*]  x ARA + [*]  x Marlim
                                          KET                                    KpR                  KBZ

2.3       Checking the lower limit (floor) and top (roof) according to item 6.2 of the Agreement


Top Limit (TL) = [*]  x ARA = [*]  x [*]  = [*]  US$/t
Lower Limit (LL) = [*]  x ARA = [*]  x [*]  = [*]  US$/t


If Naphtha (US$/t) > TL; then Naphtha Petrobras (US$/t) = TL
If Naphtha (US$/t) < LL; then Naphtha Petrobras (US$/t) = LL
If LL ≤ Naphtha (US$/t) ≤ TL; then Petrobras Naphtha (US$/t) = Naphtha (US$/t)


For this example:     Naphtha (US$/t) = [*]  > LS
                                    Petrobras Naphtha (US$/t) = LS = [*]  US$/t


2.4.      Conversion of US$/t to R$/t


Exchange


Average daily prices for the sale of U.S. dollars released by the Central Bank of Brazil in the period between the first and last day of the month (N-1).


Petrobras Naphtha (R$/t) = Naphtha Petrobras (R$/t) x Exchange


Petrobras Naphtha (R$/t) = [*]  x 2.3074 = [*] =  R$/t
