Parties dispute the valuation as determined by the Parties’ Accounting Firm, then the disputing
Party has the right at its own expense to retain another internationally recognized independent
accounting firm; and in such event, the valuation of NewCo shall be the average of the two
valuations; provided, however, that the average of the two valuations shall not exceed by
more than
 _____ 
of the difference between the valuations determined by the Parties Accounting Firm and
the independent accounting firm.



(c) Payment Date. The Annual Royalty payment shall be paid as follows:



(i) semi-annually and within forty-five (45) days of June 30 and December 31 of each year, in
the case of cash royalty payments pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(i) or (ii) above; and



(ii) once a year and within sixty (60) days of December 31 of each year in the case of royalty
payments in NewCo Stock pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(ii).



(d) The Parties acknowledge that although the royalty percentage set forth above in Section
4.1 shall be applicable, it may be difficult to ascertain the royalties in certain transactions.
Such transactions may include, but are not limited to, transactions in which the POSCO Products and
POSCO Parts are leased, loaned, bartered or exchanged for goods or services, transferred to a third
party or any entity affiliated or closely associated with POSCO Power at a price other than market
price or on terms other than in an arm’s length, or otherwise put into use by POSCO Power or POSCO
Affiliates. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable good faith efforts to establish
guidelines for determining the royalties for such transactions within sixty (60) days from the
Effective Date, taking into consideration the principles of the Korean GAAP and U.S. GAAP and
incorporating the principles of best accounting practices. If the Parties failed to agree as set
forth herein, the Parties agree to abide by the procedures set forth in Section 4.5.

than the Minimum Annual Royalty applicable for that year:



	 	 	 	 	 
	Year	 	Minimum Annual Royalty	 
	2009

	2014
	 	 	 	 
	2015
	 	 	 	 
	2016
	 	 	 	 






The Parties agree that the Minimum Annual Royalty shall be paid within forty-five (45) days of
December 31 of each year in which the Minimum Annual Royalty is due and payable; provided,
however, the Parties agree that FCE shall forego a proportional amount of the Minimum
Annual Royalty applicable for year 2009 in the event the completion of the POSCO Power Facility is
delayed beyond the end of February, 2009; provided, further, that in no event shall
the Minimum Annual Royalty for years 2010 through 2016 be less than shown above.



4.3 No Other Royalties, Payments, Etc. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, other
than the Annual Royalty or the Minimum Annual Royalty, as applicable, and certain reasonable travel
and related expenses to be reimbursed pursuant to the TTP, POSCO Power or any POSCO Affiliates
shall not be liable for any fees, royalties, expenses or payments in connection with the license
and distribution rights granted herein or the use by POSCO Power or POSCO Affiliates of the FCE
Technology under this Agreement.

of relevant books and records of the POSCO Affiliates for the sole purpose of such audit by FCE.



(b) Final Report. POSCO Power shall deliver a written report to FCE within sixty (60)
days of the termination or expiration of this Agreement, containing information relevant to the
calculation of the royalties due under this Agreement; provided that such report shall
include the Net Sales of POSCO Products or POSCO Parts that are sold and on order by POSCO Power on
or prior to the date of termination or expiration and not
previously reported to FCE, and such other information as may be necessary to determine the
royalties due hereunder.

4.5 Royalty Determination Firm. The Parties agree that in case of any dispute with
respect to the determination of royalty pursuant to Sections 2.4, 2.5, 4.1(d) and 9.6, any such
determination shall be determined by an internationally recognized independent accounting firm
jointly selected and paid for by the Parties (“Royalty Determination Firm”). If the Parties
dispute the royalty amount determined by the Royalty Determination Firm, then the disputing Party
has the right at its own expense to retain another internationally recognized independent
accounting firm; and in such event, the determination of the royalty shall be the average of the
two determinations, provided that, that the average of the two determinations shall not exceed by
more than
 _____ 
of the difference between the royalty amount determined by the Royalty Determination Firm
and the royalty amount determined by the independent determination firm.

representations or warranties or covenants under this Agreement, (ii) any claim, action or
proceeding that arises from defects caused by the manufacture by POSCO Power or POSCO Affiliates of

without limitation, MTU, in or relating to the FCE Technology (it being understood and
agreed that this obligation includes an obligation to take all necessary steps to ensure the
continued use by POSCO Power of the FCE Technology, without interruption), provided,
however, that POSCO Power must promptly notify FCE in writing of any such claim, action or
proceeding (but the failure to do so shall not relieve FCE of any liability hereunder except to the
extent that FCE has been materially prejudiced therefrom). FCE may elect, by written notice to
POSCO Power within ten (10) days after receiving notice of such claim, action or proceeding to
assume the defense thereof with counsel acceptable to POSCO Power. If FCE does not so elect to
assume such defense or disputes is indemnity obligation with respect to such claim, action or
proceeding, or if POSCO Power reasonably believes that there are conflicts of interest between FCE
and POSCO Power or that additional defenses are available to POSCO Power with respect to such
defense, then POSCO Power shall retain its own counsel to defend such claim, action or proceeding,
at FCE’s defense. FCE shall reimburse POSCO Power for expenses as these are incurred under this
Section. POSCO Power shall have the right, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of any
claim, action or proceeding against which it is indemnified hereunder; provided,

or agree to settle any such claim, action or proceeding without the written consent of FCE unless
POSCO Power waives its right to indemnity hereunder. FCE, in the defense of any such claim, action
or proceeding, except with the written consent of POSCO Power, shall not consent to entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement which (i) does not include, as an unconditional term, the
grant by the claimant to POSCO Power of a release of all liabilities in respect of such claims or

XI. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION




11.1 POSCO Power Obligations. Subject to the exercise by POSCO Power of its rights in
the FCE Technology under Article II, all written information marked “proprietary” or “confidential”
(or if oral, subsequently reduced to a writing so marked and delivered to the receiving party
within thirty (30) days of its oral disclosure) which FCE discloses to POSCO Power as a result of
the provisions of this Agreement, whether contained in blueprints, drawings, written reports,
letters or memoranda, process descriptions, operating procedures and other written data, shall be
treated as confidential unless (a) such information shall have been in the possession POSCO Power
prior to its receipt from the FCE, (b) such information is or becomes part of the public knowledge
or literature through no fault of POSCO Power, or (c) such information shall otherwise become
available to POSCO Power from a source other than FCE, said source not being violative of any
obligation of secrecy with respect to such information. Information which is so considered to be
confidential shall be held by POSCO Power for its sole benefit and used only in accordance with
this Agreement; provided that POSCO Power may share proprietary or confidential information
with POSCO Affiliates for the purpose set forth in Section 2.1(a)(iii) above; and, further
provided, that POSCO Power shall cause POSCO Affiliates to restrict the use so as to be
consistent with the terms of this Agreement and to restrict disclosure to its employees, on a
need-to-know basis, of any confidential or proprietary information shared with POSCO Affiliates.
POSCO Power shall use all reasonable efforts to prevent the use of all or any part of such
confidential information belonging to FCE in any other connection or the transmission thereof to
third parties unless and until it has first obtained the written consent of FCE specifically
authorizing such use or transmission. The Parties understand that information may be provided which
is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a third Party. The Parties agree that such
information shall be held in confidence in accordance with the terms of the third Party
confidentiality agreement. No Party shall be obligated to divulge third Party confidential
information to the other Party. POSCO Power shall require, as a condition precedent to any
agreement for any FCE Product or POSCO Product sale, lease, or other similar transaction, that the
purchaser, lessor or customer for such transaction must agree to accept the terms of this
paragraph, including the requirement for any subsequent purchaser to accept the terms of this
paragraph. Any breach of the confidentiality provisions of this paragraph may be considered
material breach of this agreement by the non-breaching party.



11.2 POSCO Affiliate. The Parties agree that each POSCO Affiliate shall enter into a
confidentiality agreement with POSCO Power containing the terms that are substantially similar to
the confidentiality provision set forth above.

XIII. ENTIRE AGREEMENT




This Agreement, the Alliance Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement, including any
Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto and thereto, and any other Transaction Agreements which are
incorporated into this Agreement by this reference, constitute the full and complete statement of
the agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no representations, understandings or agreements
relating to this Agreement that are not fully expressed in this Agreement other than those
representations, understandings or agreements contained in the other Transaction Agreements. To
the extent there is any inconsistency between this Agreement and any other Transaction Agreements,
the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.



XIV. APPLICABLE LAW AND ARBITRATION




14.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the substantive laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., without giving effect to any choice of
law rules that may require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.



14.2 Efforts to Resolve by Mutual Agreement. Any dispute, action, claim or
controversy of any kind arising from or in connection with this Agreement or the relationship of
the parties under this Agreement (the “Dispute”) whether based on contract, tort, common law,
equity, statute, regulation, order or otherwise, shall be resolved as follows:



(i) Upon written request of either FCE or POSCO Power, the Parties shall meet and attempt to
resolve any such Dispute. Such meetings may take place via teleconference or videoconference. The
Parties shall meet as often as the Parties reasonably deem necessary to discuss the problem in an
effort to resolve the Dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding.



(ii) Formal proceedings for the resolution of a Dispute may not be commenced until the later
of (i) the Parties concluding in good faith that amicable resolution through continued negotiation
of the matter does not appear likely; or (ii) the expiration of a sixty (60) day period immediately
following the initial request by either party to resolve the Dispute; provided,
however, that this Section 14.2 will not be construed to prevent a party from instituting
formal proceedings earlier to avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period, to
preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors or to seek temporary or preliminary
injunctive relief.


 


22









 





14.3 ICC Arbitration. If the parties are unable to resolve any Dispute pursuant
Section 14.2 above and except as otherwise specified in Section 9.3(b)(i), the Dispute shall be
finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration (the “Rules”) of the International
Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) by three (3) arbitrators designated by the parties. Each party shall
designate one arbitrator. The third arbitrator shall be designated by the two arbitrators
designated by the parties. If either party fails to designate an arbitrator within thirty (30) days
after the filing of the Dispute with the ICC, such arbitrator shall be appointed in the manner
prescribed by the Rules. An arbitration proceeding hereunder shall be conducted in London, U.K.,
and shall be conducted in the English language. The decision or award of the arbitrators shall be
in writing and is final and binding on both parties. The arbitration panel shall award the
prevailing party its attorneys’ fees and costs, arbitration administrative fees, panel member fees
and costs, and any other costs associated with the arbitration, the enforcement of any arbitration
award and the costs and attorney’s fees involved in obtaining specific performance of an award;
provided, however, that if the claims or defenses are granted in part and rejected in part, the
arbitration panel shall proportionately allocate between the parties those arbitration expenses in
accordance with the outcomes; provided, further, that the attorney’s fees and costs of enforcing a
specific performance arbitral award shall always be paid by the non-enforcing party, unless the
applicable action was determined to be without merit by final, non-appealable decision. The
arbitration panel may only award damages as provided for under the terms of this Agreement and in
no event may punitive, consequential and special damages (or as otherwise specified in this
Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 10.3) be awarded. In the event of any conflict
between the Rules and any provision of this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern.



14.4 Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest
extent permitted by Applicable Law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding
arising out of or relating to Section 9.3(b)(i).



XV. MISCELLANEOUS




15.1 Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by a writing duly
signed by the authorized representatives of both Parties.



15.2 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, said provision(s) shall be
deemed severed and deleted here from and the validity, legality and/or enforceability of the
remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.



15.3 Government Information. Nothing in this Agreement shall authorize the disclosure
of, or access to, classified or restricted information, material or know-how of the Government of
the United States of America to persons not authorized or licensed to disclose or receive such
classified or restricted information.



15.4 Independent Contractors. The Parties are independent contractors, and nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be construed as (a) giving either Party the power to direct and
control the day-to-day activities of the other, (b) constituting either Party as a partner, a joint
venture, a co-owner or a fiduciary of the other or (c) creating any other form of legal association
that would impose liability on one Party for the act or
failure to act of the other or as providing either Party with the right, power or authority
(express or implied) to create any duty or obligation of the other.

15.5 Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither Party may, nor will it have
the power to, assign this Agreement, or any part hereof, without the prior written consent of the
other Party, and any such unauthorized assignment shall be null and void, except that the Parties
acknowledge and agree that POSCO Power may, without the consent of FCE and without assuming any
obligations set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, assign its rights and
obligations to NewCo. In the event of any other assignment of this Agreement by either Party, the
assignee shall assume, in writing (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other
party), the rights and obligations of the assigning Party under this Agreement.



15.6 No Third Party Beneficiary. Except as expressly contemplated herein, this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party hereto and nothing in
this Agreement is intended to confer upon any other person or entity any rights or remedies of any
nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.



15.7 Headings. The headings preceding the text of Articles and Sections included in
this Agreement and the headings to Exhibits and Schedules attached to this Agreement are for
convenience only and shall not be deemed part of this Agreement or be given any effect in
interpreting this Agreement.



15.8 Right to Injunction; Specific Performance. The Parties further acknowledge and
agree that POSCO Power will suffer irreparable harm, which is not compensable by monetary damage in
the event the FCE Technology has not been fully transferred to POSCO Power at the time of the
termination of this Agreement due to a material breach by FCE hereunder. Accordingly, the Parties
agree that POSCO Power shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to enforce specifically
the transfer of the FCE Technology to POSCO Power in accordance with Section 9.3(b)(i) above.



15.9 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable to the other for a failure to
perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, except for payment obligations under this
Agreement, during any period in which such performance is delayed due to a Force Majeure, and if
such party notifies the other of the delay; provided, however, that in the event a period of Force
Majeure restricts a party’s performance for greater than 120 days, the non-restricted party may
terminate this Agreement without further cause and without liability for such termination. The date
of delivery shall be extended for a period equal to the period of a delay due to Force Majeure, in
addition to any additional time as may be reasonably necessary to overcome the effect of such
excusable delay; provided, further, that the party seeking relief under this Section 15.9 shall
promptly notify the other of the Force Majeure event, the anticipated resolution of such event, the
actual resolution of such event and the actual impact on its obligations hereunder.



15.10 Marubeni; MTU. FCE hereby acknowledges and agrees to comply with the terms and
conditions of the MTU Consent and the Marubeni Settlement to the extent
that the failure to comply with such terms and conditions will adversely affect the rights of POSCO
Power to which it is entitled under this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements. POSCO
Power hereby acknowledges and agrees to comply with the terms and conditions of the letter
agreement to be entered into with Marubeni Corporation in connection with the Marubeni Settlement
to the extent that the failure to comply with such terms and conditions will adversely affect the
rights of FCE to which it is entitled under this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements.
