will approximate the Project Cash Flow included with pricing in Proposal Document, for engineering services, equipment, 

  

 6 

	 	 
materials, and fieldwork completed. Invoices under this Contract shall be paid on or before the 10th day of each calendar month, or on a mutually agreed alternative schedule. Payment of such invoices shall be made by Company within 10 days after receipt. These payments shall be
made by Company monthly until ninety-five percent (95%) of the total Contract Price has been paid. The remaining five percent (5%) shall be retained by Company until the Work is completed and accepted, and until satisfactory proof has been
received by Company of payment for all labor and materials furnished herein by Contractor, its subcontractors and suppliers. Payments on delayed shipments of materials that cannot be delivered or materials received because of delays by the Company
shall be paid by Company when materials are ready for shipment. 

  

	9.	Company agrees to furnish all risk, builder’s risk insurance coverage for the full amount of the Contract Price to cover the materials herein specified against loss by fire or
other casualties for the joint benefit of Company and Contractor, the premium for which shall be paid by Company. Contractor agrees to carry liability insurance with bodily injury limits of $1,000,000 per person and $1,000,000 per accident and
property damage limits of $1,000,000 per year, for the joint benefit of Company and Contractor, the premium for which shall be paid by Contractor. Such insurance shall continue in effect, and shall not be cancelled or reduced without affording at
least ten (10) days written prior notice to Company. 

  

 7 

	10.	Contractor agrees to carry Workman’s Compensation Insurance in accordance with applicable laws. 

  

	11.	Title of Facility: For security purposes only, the title and ownership of the Work called for and furnished under the terms of this Contract shall remain with Contractor until the
full and final payment shall have been made according to the terms agreed upon herein. In case of default in any of the payments above provided for, contractor may repossess the Work and all additions thereto wherever found, and shall not be liable
in any action of law, nor for the repayment of any money or monies which may have been paid by Company in part payment for said installation and equipment, and if said machinery or structure is placed upon mortgaged or encumbered premises, it shall
be without prejudice to Contractor’s rights thereto as herein provided. It is further agreed that no machinery or structure furnished under the Contract shall become a fixture by reason of being attached to real estate and any part thereof may
be separated from the real estate and may be repossessed by Contractor or by Contractor’s agent upon Company’s default in payment without any liability on the part of Contractor for such removal. 

  

	12.	 In the event of default in any payment herein provided, which shall continue for twenty (20) days after written notice to Company of such 

  

 8 

	 	 
defaults, then the full amount then due and unpaid complete with mark-up, including the retention, shall become due and payable and Contractor shall have the
right to cease performing under this Agreement, and shall further have the right to assert its claim for a Lien against the property upon which the material has been erected. 

  

	 13.
	 The Company anticipated that mechanical completion of the larger project will occur in the 2nd half of 2007 and that pre-commissioning, start-up, and testing to follow from then, perhaps into early 2008. Contractor agrees to support the integration of the Contract into WGI
scope of services, for coordination and administration by WGI, provided that they do not unreasonably, in Contractor’s view, alter this agreement. As part of this, the Contractor agrees to work with WGI to establish appropriate schedules to
cost effectively meet that objective. 

  

	14.	Within 15 days after notice of completion by Contractor of the Work, in accordance with the schedule established with WGI, Company shall accept the engineering services, machinery,
equipment and materials included in the Work or notify Contractor in writing of any items Company considers necessary to be furnished for completion of the Work. 

 If the Work is completed and ready for testing but Company is unable, for 30 days to furnish the necessary power or other facilities necessary for 

  

 9 

 
such testing, then Company shall reimburse Contractor for any additional cost incurred for performing such testing after the necessary facilities are
available. Should this delay in testing be extended significantly beyond that anticipated by the WGI schedule, then the Contractor may invoice for and receive up to one-half of the five percent (5%) of the Contract Price retained. 

 

	15.	It is agreed that after Contractor has completed erection of the Work according to the drawings and specifications, Contractor will assist Company personnel to place the same in
operation and instruct them in its proper operation. Upon Contractor’s written notice of completion, Company will then have the next ten (10) working days in which to test the Work, and to give Contractor’s duly authorized
representative a written “punch list” itemizing any objections. When all such punch list items have been corrected or satisfied, Company will then have an additional ten (10) days in which to signify acceptance or submit, in writing,
its reason for non-acceptance. Failure to submit punch list items within (10) operation days following Contractor’s notification of completion shall constitute an acceptance of the Work and all reatined monies shall then become due and
payable; provided, however, that this paragraph shall not affect or restrict in any way Company’s rights to all guarantees under this Agreement. 

  

 10 

	16.	Contractor shall not be held liable for delays by reason of any act of God, law, order, rules, regulation or act of governmental authority, explosion, labor disputes, labor or
material shortage, transportation accident or failure, fire, strike, military authority, insurrection, or any other cause beyond Contractor’s reasonable control whether of the same or a different nature. In the event of any such delay, the date
of completion shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by the delay. 

  

	17.	“Completion” shall be defined as that point in construction at which time the Facilities have the capabilities of and, provided Contractor has complied fully with
paragraph 7, hereof: and subject to Contractor’s obligation under paragraph 4 hereof. 

  

	18.	Contractor agrees to hold and save Company harmless from any loss arising from personal injury or property damage, caused solely by Contractor’s negligence, and arising out of
the Work being performed by Contractor and to hold and save Company harmless against all claims for wages to be paid and materials supplied by Contractor for the Work, whether such claims are in the form of liens or otherwise.

  

	19.	Contractor shall not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of Company. 

  

 11 

	20.	This Contract shall be considered as being made and entered into under the laws of the State of Ohio, USA. 

  

	21.	Ownership of Drawings; All plans, drawings, specifications and the like relating to the Work shall remain the property of Roberts & Schaefer Company, and shall be used by
Company only in connection with the construction, and operation of the Facility. Contractor shall provide 8-sets of preliminary as-built drawings and Job Books, sixty-days before scheduled commissioning to support training and pre-commissioning.
Contractor shall also provide 8-sets of final as-built drawings and Job Books within 30-days of acceptance. One additional set of drawings in electronic form, to be determined by the Company (e.g. Auto-Cad or similar), will also be provided with
final documentation. 

  

	22.	Lima Energy anticipates the initial activity by the Contractor will involve the following typical tasks: a) site visit within one week of execution to assess conditions and location
of structures to be built; b) necessary survey for location for unloading vault, rotary plow tunnel, and fuel storage building for construction planning; c) evaluation of existing geotechnical information, if required, in conjunction with WGI as
needed to finalize foundation design criteria; d) engineering of unloading vault, rotary plow tunnel, and fuel storage building foundation; e) planning for and meetings with City of Lima and the Ohio Power Sitting Board staff, as a requirement of

 Dear Mr. Lockwood: 
 Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation (Columbia) has received the request of Lima Energy Company (Customer) for the construction of a new point of delivery (POD), to be located on Columbia’s Pipeline Number D-500 in Perry Township,
Allen County, Ohio. This new POD shall be designed and constructed to deliver quantities up to 84,000 Dth/d to Customer at an operating pressure of 450 psig. The 450 psig operating pressure applies only to the design of the facilities to be designed
and installed by Columbia. Columbia understands that Customer expects to finance the Lima Energy project in third-quarter 2004, and that design and construction is expected to take approximately 36-months. Columbia also agrees that, subject to
timely support and coordination, as summarized in this document, it will arrange for the Facilities to be constructed, tested and ready for service by approximately July 1, 2007. 
 Attachment A hereto sets forth in detail the responsibilities of Columbia and Customer for the design, acquisition of materials, construction and installation, ownership, operation and maintenance, and removal of the
facilities (hereinafter referred to as the “Facilities”) required by Customer’s request. 
 CONSTRUCTION OF FACILITIES. Subject to the
contingencies contained herein, Columbia and/or Customer, if Customer is so designed on Attachment A, shall install/construct the Facilities as set forth on Attachment A. 

 Customer understands that it has the right to provide and/or install/construct the Facilities. If
Customer is responsible under this Agreement for performing some or all of the installation/construction fo the Facilities, Customer shall: (i) use only the type of metering facilities specified by Columbia and install the Facilities in
accordance with Columbia’s Construction Specifications and Section 26 “Measurement” of the General Terms and Conditions of Columbia’s FERC Gas Tariff, both as amended from time to time, applied on a uniform basis;
(ii) provide access to the Facilities during such installation and permit Columbia personnel to inspect the Facilities for the purpose of ensuring compliance with Columbia’s standards, applied on a uniform basis; (iii) pay Columbia a
charge for any inspection conducted pursuant to above item (ii), calculated on a uniform basis; (iv) provide Columbia with drawings for design review and approval and (v) provide adequate assurance that Customer and its contractor(s) will
abide by the terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, above item (i). Any inspection and approval by Columbia shall in no way constitute a warranty by Columbia to Customer or any third party with respect to the design, construction
and installation performed by Customer or its contractor(s) or subcontractor(s). 
 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE. Columbia and/or Customer will operate
and maintain the Facilities as set forth on Attachment A, provided, Columbia can at a future date require Customer, in Columbia’s discretion, to become responsible for the operation and maintenance of the meter. When Attachment A defines
Customer as being responsible for operation and maintenance of the meter, or in the event Columbia elects for Customer to assume these responsibilities at a later date, Customer has the choice of contracting with a Columbia approved service
contractor to provide meter operation and maintenance, or reimbursing Columbia to perform these services. If Customer chooses to use a Columbia approved service contractor, Customer should notify Columbia of its choice and Columbia will provide the
service contractor with detailed meter operation and maintenance instructions at that time. 
 As further clarification of Attachment A,
operation and maintenance of the meter encompasses the following activities: 
  

	 	(i)	testing, inspection and calibration of the primary and secondary elements, and of other devices that directly effect measurement and energy determination, such as gas samplers,
chromatographs, and flow computers. Testing and inspection frequencies, and corresponding tolerances, shall be specified by Columbia; 

  

	 	(ii)	reading the meter and/or changing the meter chart; 

  

	 	(iii)	providing pens, ink and charts; 

  

	 	(iv)	performing volume and energy determination; and 

  

	 	(v)	obtaining and analyzing gas samples. 

  

 2 

 Columbia shall have the right, regardless of which party is responsible for operation and maintenance
activities, to inspect the Facilities and perform any tests it deems necessary at such times as it deems appropriate without prior notice. If Columbia, in its sole discretion, determines the Facilities are not performing satisfactorily, Columbia
reserves the right to make repairs, or require Customer to do so. If Columbia makes the repairs, Customer will pay Columbia for all maintenance and repairs within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Columbia. Columbia will use its best
efforts in operation and volume/energy determination, but assumes no liability for any damages as a result of error or omission. Columbia will forward production meter statements to Customer or Customer’s designee. The Customer may request
additional tests or inspections beyond those normally scheduled by Columbia. The Customer shall reimburse Columbia for the actual cost of the test, inspection and repairs, as applicable. 
 ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS. Installation of all electrical and instrumentation facilities shall conform to all provisions of the National Electrical Code (NFPA Subpart 70), the American Gas Association
Classification of Gas Utility Areas for Electrical Installation (XF0277), and ANSI/ISA RP12.6 Installation of Intrinsically Safe Instrument System in Class I Hazardous Locations. All electrical equipment installed in a building containing all or a
portion of the Facilities shall be classified and designed for Class I, Division 2, Group D locations. Any equipment which vents or bleeds natural gas shall be piped in such a way so as to vent or bleed outside any enclosed structure in which it may
be installed. 
 PROTECTION OF COLUMBIA FACILITIES FROM FAULT CURRENT EFFECTS. Customers generating electricity shall ensure that power system faults
do not cause adverse effects to TCO facilities. Due to ground potential rise (GPR) of the generating plant grounding system, the pipeline serving the generating facility can be raised to several thousand volts above ground. Columbia’s pipeline
can attain true earth potential due to its length. This will result in a difference of potential between Columbia’s facilities and the customer’s facilities equal to the GPR of the generating station. This voltage will appear across the
pipeline insulation device between Columbia’s and the customer’s facilities. The pipeline insulating device shall be capable of isolating Columbia’s facilities from the full GPR of the generating plant with a factor of safety of at
least 1.5. Proper mitigation techniques shall be implemented to ensure that the GPR does not result in coating stress voltages or touch potentials at TCO facilities in excess of the following limits. 
 Columbia’s maximum acceptable coating stress voltage for FBE coating is 2000 Volts. Columbia’s maximum acceptable touch potential for our facilities is 15
Volts. 
 Columbia also reserves the right to review the mitigation plan prior to installation. 
 LAND RIGHTS. Customer will provide the land upon which the Facilities are to be constructed except for the land rights necessary for the installation of the tap
and Pipeline No. D-666. Columbia shall acquire the necessary land rights for installation of 

  

 3 

 
the tap and Pipeline No. D-666. The location and suitability of such site must meet with Columbia’s approval. Customer shall accept full responsibility
for providing a site that is free of any hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants. Should any such material be discovered on the site, either prior to, during or following construction or operations, then Customer shall be responsible for
all costs associated with cleaning up the site, except for materials specifically generated solely by Columbia due to the operation and maintenance of its facilities. Customer shall ensure that all land rights are in place for the installation,
construction, operation, and maintenance of the Facilities, and Customer shall further ensure that Columbia has all rights of ingress and egress, and all other land use rights necessary for Columbia to carry out its rights and responsibilities as
set forth in this agreement. In the event that this POD is ever to be retired or abandoned, Customer shall be responsible for all costs associated with the removal of the Facilities. 
 PAYMENT FOR FACILITIES. Columbia estimates its cost for the design, permitting, materials, construction and installation of the Facilities for which it is responsible, including “gross-up” for income
tax purposes, to be $6,877,888.00. Customer shall return a signed copy of this agreement and provide a lump sum Contribution in Aid of Construction for the full amount at this estimated cost, contemporaneously with project finance or
December 1, 2004, whichever is earlier. Upon completion of the construction/installation of the Facilities, Columbia shall render a final invoice for actual costs expended. If the actual costs exceed the prepayment made by Customer, then
Customer shall pay the difference to Columbia within thirty days of the date of the final invoice. If Customer fails to make timely payment of such invoice, then Columbia will be entitled to assess interest computed at the rate set forth in
Section 154.501 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) regulations. Such interest shall accrue on unpaid amounts beginning on the payment due date of Columbia’s invoice to Customer and shall terminate when such invoice
is paid. Should the actual costs be less than the prepayment made by Customer, then Columbia shall refund such difference to Customer within thirty days of the date of the final invoice. 
 ADHERENCE TO SPECIFICATIONS. Customer agrees to adhere to the requirements of Columbia’s facility specifications and to Section 26 “Measurement” of the General Terms and Conditions of
Columbia’s FERC Gas Tariff, both as amended from time to time. Any facilities constructed and installed by Customer shall be subject to inspection and approval by Columbia personnel. 
 INSPECTIONS & APPROVALS. Customer agrees that inspections and approvals by Columbia are solely for Columbia’s internal use and needs. Customer
agrees not to rely upon such inspections and approvals to meet Customer’s responsibilities, and Customer further agrees to hold Columbia harmless from, and Customer hereby releases Columbia from any and all liability related directly or
indirectly to the use or application of such inspections and approvals. 
 FUTURE EQUIPMENT. Columbia reserves the right, in its reasonable
discretion, to require at some future date that additional equipment be installed at the new POD for 
  
  

 4 

 
measuring purposes, for monitoring of the gas quality, or for assuring safe operation of the Facilities and Columbia’s pipeline system. Such future
installation may include, but not be limited to, equipment such as electronic measurement, overpressure protection, chromatograph, gas conditioning equipment, etc. Should Costumer refuse to enter into an agreement with Columbia regarding the
installation and cost responsibility of such future equipment, then Columbia shall be under no obligation to maintain delivery through this POD. 
 FERC
APPROVALS. Construction and installation of the Facilities may require Columbia to obtain prior approval under the FERC’s regulation. In this connection, Customer shall cooperate with and provide to Columbia on a timely basis all
information and data requested by Columbia which Columbia deems necessary to obtain FERC’s approval. 
 COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS. Columbia
and Customer agree to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations and orders relating to the installation/construction, operation and maintenance of the Facilities, pipeline, regulation, heater or other
facilities. 
 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Neither party shall be liable to the other any special, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential
damages of any nature however arising, (including, without limitation, loss of actual or anticipated profits or revenue, loss by reason of shut down, loss of use, loss of interest, or no-operation or increased expense of operation), even if advised
of their possible existence. The limit of Columbia’s total liability arising from this Agreement, regardless of the theory of recovery, including breach of contract, tort, negligence, or strict liability, shall not in the aggregate exceed
$100,000.00. 
 FORCE MAJEURE. Section 15 “Force Majeure” of the General Terms and Conditions of Columbia’s FERC Gas Tariff as
amended from time to time applies to Columbia’s performance of this agreement. 
 INSURANCE & INDEMNITY. Customer and Columbia will
maintain an insurance program consistent with insurance programs maintained by regulated utilities in the U.S., and will cause its contractors and sub-contractors to maintain insurance programs and indemnification consistent with Attachment B.

 INVALID PROVISIONS. If any provision in whole or part is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid then this agreement shall be
construed as reformed to the extent necessary to render such provision valid, and this Agreement shall remain in effect as reformed. 
 TERMINATION.
A. Customer may terminate this agreement at any time prior to the completion of the construction and installation of the Facilities; provided, however, that Customer shall reimburse Columbia for all actual costs and expenses incurred by Columbia
as of the effective date of the termination, which shall be no earlier than the 

  

 5 

 
date on which Columbia receives written notification of such termination. Such costs shall include both external and internal costs relating to the design,
regulatory approvals, permitting, purchase of materials and construction and installation of the Facilities, including any cancellation charges for materials or equipment. Such costs shall be paid within thirty days of the date of an invoice from
Columbia. The obligation to pay these costs shall survive the cancellation of this Agreement by Customer. 
 B. This Agreement, which provides for the
ongoing operation and maintenance of the Facilities after their installation/construction, shall remain in full force and effect for as long as the gas being delivered through this new POD is actively being delivered for transportation, pooling or
aggregation on Columbia’s system pursuant to a Columbia service agreement, and Customer has not breached any of the terms of this Agreement. If the foregoing conditions are not being satisfied at any time after the installation/construction of
facilities, Columbia may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Customer.
