(3) The PARTIES agree to control the
CS2 specification based on the moving weighted average per quantity
of each batch over the last thirty (30) days of supply, setting the maximum
value of seven (7) ppm as a limit, with supplies of batches with fifteen (15)
ppm at the most being allowed to occur. If the moving average of the last
thirty (30) days is greater than seven (7) ppm, the maximum limit per batch
shall become ten (10) ppm. The CS2 specification shall apply only to
naphtha delivered at UNIB 1-BA. PETROBRAS shall use its best efforts to
decrease the CS2 content in naphtha delivered to UNIBs 2-RS and
3-SP.

 

(4) The PARTIES shall jointly
supervise, based on the analyses carried out by PURCHASER, the mercury
content in naphtha supplied by PETROBRAS. If the moving average of the
last thirty (30) days is greater than five (5) ppb, the PARTIES shall define
by common agreement the inclusion thereof as an item of these quality
specifications, upon the execution of an Amendment. The formalization of the
agreement shall contain, in addition to the value established for the maximum
limit, the date on which such value shall become effective.

2.2.1 – Failure
to provide the Testing Certificate is not a hindrance from unloading the ship.

 

2.3 - PETROBRAS shall provide PURCHASER,
prior to the beginning of the supply of each batch of the product at the
delivery point described in item 1 of the TCO (Exhibit II), with a Testing
Certificate containing the quality specifications results.

(1) In the State of Bahia, the EXA sales
modality applies to the delivery of petrochemical naphtha from cabotage and
import, with the unloading at the Madre de Deus Terminal (TEMADRE). In such
case, the “Quality inspection site” depends on the origin of the cargo. For
product from cabotage, the inspection is carried out at the point of origin
and, for product from import, the inspection is carried out upon the unloading,
by an Independent Inspection Company. In the State of Rio Grande do Sul, the
EXA sales modality applies to the petrochemical naphtha produced by REFAP and originated
from cabotage and import transactions, with unloading at the Almirante Soares
Dutra Terminal (TEDUT). The quality inspection of naphtha produced at REFAP is
made at the very Refinery. For cargoes from cabotage, the “Quality inspection
site” is at the point of origin and, for the cargoes from import, the inspection
is carried out upon the unloading, by an Independent Inspection Company. For
the naphtha produced by RECAP, the “Quality inspection site” is the Refinery.

 

(2) Point “A” shall mean the set of valves
associated to an EMED, where the exit points pump products from a Supply Unit
to the local Receiving Units are defined.

 

(3) In the EXA sales modality, the transfer
of ownership of the product shall occur downstream from point “A” of PETROBRAS’s
Supply Unit. In the LPA sales modality, the transfer of ownership of the
product shall occur downstream from the entry flange of PURCHASER’s
industrial unit. In the EEA sales modality, the transfer of ownership of the
product shall occur downstream from the vessel’s unloading flange at the Aratu
Terminal.

 

(4) From the ownership transfer point defined
for each sales modality, the risks of loss of quantity, quality degradation and
third party’s risks shall be automatically transferred from PETROBRAS to
PURCHASER. The environmental risks shall comply with the provisions set
forth in the Brazilian Environmental Legislation.

 

 

                         

 

2 – SUPPLY SCHEDULE

 

2.1 – Delivery and Pick-up Schedule

 

2.1.1 - PETROBRAS shall inform PURCHASER,
on a weekly basis, the vessels’ schedule with an estimate of the quantity and
origin, in addition to the daily forecast of naphtha production by the RLAM
refineries, for delivery to UNIB 1-BA, and REFAP refineries, for UNIB 2-RS, for
the next thirty (30) days. Such schedule shall ensure the pro rata daily
pick-up for the Firm Order – established in item 1 of the CTC (Exhibit I) – to
be delivered within the month.

 

2.1.1.1 – Specifically
for deliveries to UNIB 3-SP, PETROBRAS shall provide, on a weekly basis,
the vessels forecast and, on a daily basis, the pumping schedule, comprising
both the production of the neighboring refineries and the cargoes from
cabotage/import.

 

2.1.2 - PURCHASER undertakes to
inform, on a weekly basis, per UNIB, its stock, the daily consumption forecast
for the period of thirty (30) days, and the schedule of vessels for import made
by itself.

 

2.2 – Unloading of PETROBRAS’s Vessels at the
Raw Material Terminal (TMP) in Aratu

 

2.2.1 – Whenever requested by PETROBRAS, PURCHASER
shall inform any operation ranges of PETROBRAS’s vessels at the TMP.

 

2.2.1.1 – After
being agreed on, the operation ranges may only be changed upon agreement
between the PARTIES.

 

2.2.1.2 –
A delay in the operation for which PETROBRAS is responsible shall be
subject to a new indication by PURCHASER.

 

2.3 - Unloading of PETROBRAS’s Vessels at the
Almirante Soares Dutra Terminal (TEDUT) in Tramandaí

 

2.3.1 – The procedure for request and grant of
operation ranges of PETROBRAS’s and PURCHASER’s vessels at TEDUT is
described in specific agreements entered into with Transpetro.

 

2.3.1.1 – The
operation ranges may be changed by common agreement between the PARTIES.

 

2.3.2 – Considering the limitations related to
the shared use of TEDUT for storage and handling of naphtha owned both by PETROBRAS
and PURCHASER, it is necessary to define specific criteria for such
process, as shown below.

 

2.3.2.1 – The
first criterion is the pumping sequence called FIFO (“First In – First Out”), which
determines the order of the product to be transferred from
TEDUT to REFAP as equivalent to the order of product unloaded to TEDUT.

 

 

                         

 

2.3.2.1.1 –
Such sequence applies to petrochemical naphtha owned by PETROBRAS and to
petrochemical naphtha owned by PURCHASER.

 

2.3.2.1.2
- The PARTIES may agree on occasional changes to the FIFO sequence.

 

2.3.2.2 – The
second criterion is the space availability in TEDUT’s tankage. In order to
maintain the delivery to UNIB 2-RS of the basic naphtha quantity defined in item
1.2 of CTC (Exhibit I), PURCHASER undertakes to provide storage space at
TEDUT, during the term of effectiveness of this Agreement, for use by PETROBRAS
in its handling of petrochemical naphtha.

 

3 – MEASUREMENT

 

 “Delivery at Point A” (EXA) and “Free for
Warehouse” (LPA) Sales Modalities

 

3.1 – In the EXA and LPA sales modalities,
the delivery shall be made by pumping from Supply Units to Receiving Units,
through pipeline connecting point “A” of the Supply Unit to the Receiving Unit.

 

3.1.1 – The
responsibility for payment of the transportation fee and for the risks of
degradation and/or loss of product, as well as the product ownership transfer
point, are defined in item 1 of this Exhibit, for each sales modality.

 

3.1.2 – In
the EXA modality, if there is no set of outflow valves identifying point “A”, the
transfer of ownership and of the risks of degradation and/or loss of product
shall occur downstream from the exit flange of PETROBRAS’s product delivery
tank to PURCHASER.

 

3.1.3 – In
the LPA modality, if there is no set of outflow valves identifying the entry of
the Receiving Unit, the transfer of ownership and of the risks of degradation
and/or loss of products shall occur downstream from the entry flange of the
first receiving tank of the Receiving Unit.

 

3.1.4 –
During the receipt operations, no simultaneous (lung operation) may take place
in the receiving tank, which shall be separated and isolated by blocking valves
(preferably double-blockage valves), except if PURCHASER has its own
EMED.

 

3.1.5 – For
carrying out exceptional lung operations during the receipt of a pumping, PURCHASER
shall provide intensive assistance to the operation, so as to guarantee the
safety procedures and, unless it has a duly calibrated EMED, it shall lose the

 EXHIBIT 10.1

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD

	 	 	 
	Name: Dave Schaeffer

	 	Cogent Communications Holdings, Inc.
	 

	 	 
	Grant Date: May 4, 2016

	 	2004 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”)
	 

	 	 

1. Grant: Effective as of the Grant Date specified above you have been granted 170,000 (one
hundred seventy thousand) shares of common stock $.001 par value (the “Restricted Stock”) of
Cogent Communications Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) subject to the vesting requirement described
below.

2. Normal Vesting: You will become vested in 10,000 of the shares of Restricted Stock on January
1, 2019 and in an additional 10,000 of the shares of Restricted Stock on the first day of each
month thereafter, with vesting full vesting of 120,000 shares completed on December 1, 2019. The
remaining (50,000) shares of Restricted Stock shall vest on March 1, 2020 to the extent determined
by the following calculation:

Executive shall be entitled to vest in up to 50,000 shares of Restricted Stock based on the
growth of revenue and EBITDA, as adjusted (as defined in the company’s earnings releases),
of Cogent Communications Holdings, Inc. between 2018 and 2019. The number of shares that
will vest, if any, shall be calculated following filing of the company’s annual audited
financial statements on Form 10-K for 2019. 25,000 shares of Restricted Stock will vest if
revenue growth equals or exceeds 15% and, separately, another 25,000 shares of Restricted
Stock will vest if EBITDA, as adjusted, growth equals or exceeds 20%. If the growth of the
performance measure is less than the amount specified in the preceding sentence the bonus
shall be reduced such that it is proportional to performance realized, e.g. if revenue
growth is 7.5% then the bonus for revenue growth will be 12,500 shares. If the performance
measure is zero or negative the number of shares that vest for that performance measure
shall be zero.

3. Accelerated Vesting: Notwithstanding the foregoing, you will become fully vested upon the
termination of your employment by reason of death, disability, or retirement. You will also become
fully vested upon a Change of Control (even without termination of employment). If the
accelerated vesting is due to a Change of Control the number the shares that vest in such event
shall be limited to the number shares that when multiplied by the closing price of the Company’s
common stock on May 4, 2016 yield a dollar value not in excess of three times your annual
compensation on the date of the Change of Control. If the acceleration of vesting due to a Change
of Control would trigger the excise tax provided for in Section 280G and 4999 of the U.S. Internal
Revenue Code such vesting shall be delayed by a time sufficient to not trigger the excise tax. The
shares for which vesting accelerates shall be allocated from the last shares to vest and the
remaining unvested shares shall continue to vest under the normal vesting rule. Upon termination of
employment other than as provided above you will forfeit any unvested shares of Restricted Stock
that have not vested by the end of your severance period, i.e. you continue vesting during your
severance period and lose the remaining unvested shares. Your severance period is the number of
months compensation specified in your employment agreement for use in calculating your severance,
e.g. 6 months or 12 months. In addition, the performance shares provided for above shall vest in
the amount determined above even if your employment ceases after December 31, 2019 and on or before
March 1, 2020 whether through your resignation or discharge. Change of Control has the meaning set
forth in the Plan. Annual compensation means your average compensation as calculated for U.S.
income tax purposes for the last three complete calendar years.

4. Nontransferable: The Restricted Stock or any interest or right therein or part thereof may not
be disposed of by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance,
assignment or any other means, whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation
of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings
(including bankruptcy), until vested, and any attempted disposition prior thereto shall be null and
void and of no effect. The foregoing notwithstanding, transfers of the Restricted Stock may be
permitted for estate planning purposes with the prior written consent of the Compensation Committee
and subject in each case to the provisions of the Plan and the same restrictions and forfeiture
provisions under this Agreement that the Restricted Stock had in your hands.

5. Dividends/Voting: You will be entitled to vote the shares of Restricted Stock. However, you
will only be entitled to receive any dividends that are paid on shares of the Restricted Stock once
they are vested. Any dividends paid on unvested shares of Restricted Stock shall be held by the
Company, without interest thereon and paid to you at the time the shares of Restricted Stock on
which such dividends were paid vest.

6. Certificates: The Company shall cause the Restricted Stock to be issued and a stock
certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Stock to be registered in your name or held
in book entry form, but if a stock certificate or certificates are issued, they shall be delivered
to, and held in custody by the Company until the shares of Restricted Stock vest. You agree to
give to the Company a stock power for all unvested shares of Restricted Stock. If issued, each
such certificate will bear such legends as the Company may determine.

7. No Other Rights: The grant of Restricted Stock under the Plan is a one-time benefit and does
not create any contractual or other right to receive an award of Restricted Stock or benefits in
lieu of Restricted Stock in the future. Future awards of Restricted Stock, if any, will be at the
sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the timing of the award, the number
of shares and vesting provisions. The grant of Restricted Stock under the Plan does not entitle
you to any rights to remain employed with the Company, nor does it constitute a contract of
employment.

8. Miscellaneous: The shares of Restricted Stock are granted under and governed by the terms and
conditions of the Plan, as may be amended from time to time. Defined terms used herein shall have
the meaning set forth in the Plan, unless otherwise defined herein.
