Exhibit 10.1 - Description of Short-Term Cash Incentive Plan of Berry Petroleum
      Company

     

    
      

      

    

    Exhibit
      10.1

    
      

        DESCRIPTION
          OF THE SHORT-TERM CASH INCENTIVE PLAN (BONUS)

        

        Annual
          cash incentive awards, which are designed to provide short-term performance
          incentives, are made to employees to recognize and reward corporate and
          individual performance. The plan in effect provides an annual incentive
          fund of
          up to 3.75% of the Company's annual net income, with certain adjustments,
          to
          potentially any and all employees upon achievement of the Company’s growth and
          profitability goals.

        

        Annually,
          Management and the Board will set specific targets to be achieved which
          will
          determine the cash payment as a whole and then to each eligible employee
          based
          on a formula. Executive Officers have performance metrics established for
          each
          of the following: net income, production, operating expenditures, proved
          reserves, and finding and development costs, all modified by environmental
          health and safety (“EHS”) performance. All other employees have performance
          metrics for production and EHS. The Board retains the flexibility to adjust
          various items to assure compliance with the intent of the cash incentive
          awards.
          All annual cash bonuses for executive officers are approved by the Compensation
          Committee and the Board of Directors.

    SUPPLY,
      DELIVERY AND RECEIPT OF CRUDE OIL

     

    2.1 Supply
      and Receipt of Base Daily Volumes. 

    (a) During
      the Term and subject to Section
      2.1(b),
      Supplier shall sell and deliver to Refiner at the Delivery Point, and Refiner
      shall buy and take delivery at the Delivery Point 3,200 Barrels of Crude Oil
      per
      Day (the “Base
      Daily Volume”).

     

    (b) If
      Refiner has delivered to Supplier a certificate certifying that the Refinery
      Modification Completion has occurred, as soon thereafter as reasonably possible
      for Supplier to accomodate but in any event within ninety (90) Days from the
      date of such delivery of the certificate (or such later date as may be specified
      in the certificate) the Base Daily Volume shall be increased to 5,000 Barrels
      of
      Crude Oil per Day.

     

    (c) A
      50%
      Daily variation in the quantity of Crude Oil delivered pursuant to this
Section
      2.1
      shall be
      permitted; provided that for each Month or portion thereof during the Term,
      the
      average Daily quantity delivered pursuant to this Section
      2.1
      shall
      equal the Base Daily Volume. 

     

    2.2 Supply
      and Receipt of Incremental Daily Volumes.

     

    (a) Not
      later
      than 120 Days prior to the start of any Contract Year, Supplier may provide
      a
      notice to Refiner indicating the Daily volume of Crude Oil production in
      addition to the Base Daily Volumes that Supplier and its Affiliates reasonably
      anticipate producing during such Contract Year. Within 30 Days following receipt
      of such notice by Refiner, Refiner shall notify Supplier of the portion, if
      any,
      of such additional Daily volume of Crude Oil that Refiner desires to purchase.
      Failure to deliver such notice shall be deemed an election by Refiner not to
      purchase any of such additional Daily volume. Such portion, if any, that Refiner
      elects to purchase in its notice to Supplier shall be referred to herein as
      the
“Incremental
      Daily Volume”.
      For
      the Contract Year immediately following such notice from Refiner, but not for
      the remainder of the Term following such Contract Year, Supplier shall sell
      and
      deliver to Refiner at the Delivery Point, and Refiner shall buy and take
      delivery at the Delivery Point each Day the Incremental Daily Volume, in
      addition to the Base Daily Volume.

     

    (b) A
      50%
      Daily variation in the quantity of Crude Oil delivered pursuant to this
Section
      2.2
      shall be
      permitted; provided that for each Month or portion thereof during the Term,
      the
      average Daily quantity delivered pursuant to this Section
      2.2
      shall
      equal the Incremental Daily Volume.

     

    2.3 Delivery
      Point.
      Supplier will tender delivery of all Crude Oil to be delivered to Refiner
      pursuant to this Agreement at the outlet flanges of Supplier’s lease tankage on
      wells identified on Supplier’s Uinta Basin, Utah, properties from time to time
      in writing by Supplier to Refiner as referenced on Schedule 2.3 (the
“Delivery
      Point”).
      Refiner shall accept delivery of such Crude Oil at the Delivery
      Point.

    2.4 Scheduling. 

     

    (a) The
      Parties shall coordinate to schedule the delivery and receipt of Crude Oil
      in
      accordance with the procedures and limitations of the relevant transport and
      delivery and receiving facilities; provided that this Section
      2.4(a)
      shall
      not limit the obligations of the Parties pursuant to Sections
      2.1
      and
2.2.

     

    (b) Notice
      of Significant Events.
      180
      Days in advance of any planned material events which impact the Refinery’s
      ability to process or Supplier’s ability to produce the Crude Oil to be
      delivered hereunder, such as a refinery turnaround or a production facility
      turnaround (a “Significant
      Event”)
      the
      affected Party shall notify the other Party regarding schedule and volume
      impacts of any Significant Event that may, in the case of Refiner, reduce its
      processing capabilities, or in the case of Supplier, reduce its supplying
      capabilities, by more than 10% of the Contract Daily Volume for more than seven
      Days. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce the
      adverse impacts of all Significant Events on each Party. If the required notice
      has been provided, the Parties obligations under Sections
      2.1
      and
2.2
      shall be
      excused during any such Significant Events. Each Party agrees to keep the other
      Party promptly advised of all developments in the status of any Significant
      Event. No Significant Event shall be scheduled during the Term which has the
      effect of reducing the Base Annual Volume in any one 12 month period by more
      than 10%.

     

    2.5 Dedication
      of Production.
      Supplier will dedicate its (and its Affiliates’) first production of Crude Oil
      to satisfy the requirements of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing,
      Supplier agrees that any agreements by Supplier or its Affiliates to sell Crude
      Oil to a purchaser other than Refiner shall be satisfied only out of production
      in excess of the volumes to be sold to Refiner pursuant to this Agreement.
      In
      the event Supplier elects to market its production in excess of the Base Daily
      Volumes and Refiner chooses to bid for such volumes, Supplier will contract
      to
      sell the incremental volumes to Refiner if Refiner exceeds or matches the
      highest bid from other potential purchasers.

    QUALITY
      AND MEASUREMENT

     

    3.1 Quality

     

    (a) The
      crude
      oil delivered to Refiner shall conform to the Minimum Quality Specifications
      (“Crude
      Oil”).
      Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall
      Supplier inject any unsaturated stock or vis-broken stock, LPG, Natural Gasoline
      or Lube Oils as a part of Crude Oil delivered under this Agreement. If Refiner
      deems the quality of Crude Oil delivered pursuant to this Agreement to be
      inconsistent with Prudent Industry Practices, Supplier and Refiner shall work
      together to develop additional delivered quality management processes and
      specifications. If Supplier and Refiner are unable to develop such additional
      processes and specifications, the matter shall be resolved by arbitration in
      accordance with Section 13.7.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (b) Supplier
      warrants that the Crude Oil delivered to the Refiner conforms to the minimum
      specifications set forth in Schedule
      2.1
      (the
“Minimum
      Quality Specifications”)
      and is
      not contaminated by any foreign chemicals. 

     

    3.2 Evidence
      of Quality.
      For
      purposes of determining whether the crude oil delivered pursuant to this
      Agreement meets the Minimum Quality Specifications, Refiner will have 30 Days
      from the date that a delivery arrives at the Refinery to notify Supplier that
      it
      has tested the delivery and that the test results indicate that the delivery
      did
      not meet the Minimum Quality Specifications. Supplier will have 30 Days from
      receipt of such notification to
      provide the results of sample analysis performed by a reputable independent
      third party testing service using the testing methods described in Schedule
      3.2.
      Any
      rejection of volumes or price adjustment will be based on such injection sample
      test results. 

     

    3.3 Measurement.
      Measurement of Crude Oil shall be in accordance with the measurement procedures
      set forth on Schedule
      3.3.

     

    3.4 Observation.
      Each
      Party shall have the right to have a representative witness all gauges, tests,
      or measurements performed in connection with this Agreement providing that
      reasonable advance notice is given. In the absence of the other party’s
      representative, such gauges, tests, and measurements shall be deemed to be
      correct absent manifest error.

    PRICING

     

    4.1 Pricing
      Formula.
      The price (the “Price
      Formula”)
      for
      Crude Oil delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be set as follows:

     

    (a) The
      price
      for Base Daily Volumes (US$/Barrel) shall equal *** multiplied by WTI, Cushing
      (US$/Barrel).

     

    (b) The
      price
      for Incremental Daily Volumes (US$/Barrel) shall equal *** multiplied by WTI,
      Cushing (US$/Barrel).

     

    4.2 Non-Conforming
      Batch.
      If Supplier supplies a delivery which does not meet the Minimum Quality
      Specifications, Refiner shall be entitled either to reject such volumes (in
      which case Supplier shall be responsible for the costs associated with the
      redelivery to Supplier of such volumes) or to accept such volumes. In either
      case, the Parties agree to execute a price adjustment for volumes delivered
      in
      the non-conforming delivery, including a full refund of the purchase price
      and
      associated costs (e.g., transportation costs) incurred by Refiner for volumes
      that are rejected. 

     

    4.3 Change
      of Conventional Light Sweet Benchmark.
      The Parties agree that WTI, Cushing is intended to measure the fair market
      value of conventional light sweet crude oil on a North American based futures
      exchange. If at any time in the future WTI, Cushing ceases to be representative
      of the North American conventional light sweet crude oil markets, the Parties
      agree to determine a new light sweet crude oil benchmark for use in the Price
      Formula. In the event of such a cessation, either Party may declare an
      initiation date for the process of adjusting the Price Formula by giving notice
      to the other Party. The new benchmark shall be based on a

    North
      American futures contract, if such contract exists. The Price Formula will
      be
      adjusted for quality, transportation and location for the new benchmark using
      the process outlined below:

     

    (a) Compare
      Historical Period Average Prices for the current benchmark versus the proposed
      new benchmark to determine a linear correlation (y=mx) between the fair market
      values of the current benchmark versus the proposed new benchmark and apply
      this
      correlation to the Price Formula. 

     

    (b) After
      transition to the new light crude benchmark and establishing the revised Price
      Formula, either Party may request a review of the Price Formula after the elapse
      of 6 Months. Any changes to the Price Formula resulting from the review shall
      be
      effective immediately after the review is complete and agreed by both Parties.
      The review results shall not have any retroactive effect and only one review
      period shall be permitted during the Term.

      request, each Party agrees to furnish the other Party all source documents
      for
      each volume of crude oil delivered pursuant to this Agreement that are
      reasonably available to the furnishing Party; provided that furnishing source
      documents shall not be a precondition for payment unless expressly so agreed
      by
      the Parties. Source documents include delivery tickets, transfer settlements,
      or
      other shipping/loading documents provided by a pipeline or other carrier
      indicating the type, quality, volume, and other characteristics of the crude
      oil
      delivered. 

     

    7.4 Payment
      of Invoices
      Warranty.
      Refiner
      shall pay all amounts owed by it hereunder by electronic funds transfer to
      Supplier’s account designated in Section
      13.3(c)
      with
      immediately available funds by the later of the 5th Business Day after the
      applicable invoice was received or the 20th Day of the Month following the
      Month
      of crude oil delivery. If payment falls due on a Saturday or a bank holiday
      of
      the bank where the designated account is located other than Monday, payment
      shall be due on the preceding banking day of such bank. If payment falls due
      on
      a Sunday or a Monday bank holiday of such bank, payment shall be due on the
      next
      banking day of such bank. Payment shall be deemed made on the date good funds
      are credited to Supplier's account at such bank.

     

    7.5 Late
      Payments.
      Any payments that are not made when due under this Agreement pursuant to Section
      7.4 shall bear interest at a per annum rate which shall be two percentage points
      above the U.S. prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal (or such
      other
      publication as the parties may agree from time to time) in effect on the date
      payment was due from the date such payment is due until such payment is made
      paid in full. 

     

    7.6 Corrections;
      Disputes.
      Invoices and payments shall be subject to correction for billing errors for
      a
      period of 24 Months after the end of the Month prior to which the invoice was
      issued. No adjustment or correction shall be made and all records and payments
      shall be conclusively presumed to be final and shall not be subject to
      examination, unless notice specifying the error or inaccuracy is given within
      such 24-Month period. If Refiner disputes the correctness of any invoice,
      Refiner shall nevertheless pay the full amount of the invoice (including the
      disputed portion) and shall notify Supplier of the specific basis for disputing
      the correctness of the invoice as soon as practical after becoming aware of
      the
      basis for the dispute, and Refiner shall be entitled to a refund for
      overpayments plus interest at the rate described in Section 7.5 calculated
      from
      the date of payment until refunded.

    7.7 Financial
      Responsibility.
      Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, if at any time, Parent has a net
      worth of less than $200,000,000 or should Supplier reasonably believe that
      such
      Parent’s net worth is less than $200,000,000, Supplier may at anytime require,
      by written notice to Refiner, at Refiner’s choice, either 1) advance cash
      payment, or 2) satisfactory security in the form of a letter or letters of
      credit at Refiner’s expense in a form and from a bank reasonably acceptable to
      Supplier, to cover any and all deliveries of Crude Oil.  If, on or before
      the date specified in Supplier’s notice under this Section 7.7, Refiner does not
      prepay or provide the letter or letters of credit, or if Supplier does not
      accept another form of credit assurance agreeable to Supplier in Supplier’s sole
      discretion, Supplier may terminate this Agreement immediately and Refiner shall
      be considered to experience an Event of Default.  At any time Parent has a
      net worth of less than $200,000,000 or if Supplier reasonably believes that
      such
      net worth is less than $200,000,000, Seller shall not be obligated to schedule
      or complete delivery of the Crude Oil until advance cash payment is made or
      said
      letter or letters of credit, or if applicable, other credit assurance agreeable
      to Supplier, is delivered by Refiner to Supplier.  In any event if Parent
      or Refiner makes an advance cash payment to Supplier, so long as Refiner is
      not
      in default, Supplier will deposit said cash payment into an interest bearing
      investment earning interest at a rate equivalent to the equivalent yield of
      a
      thirty (30) day U.S. Treasury note and such earned interest shall be held for
      the benefit of Parent or Refiner.

     

    7.8 Continuing
      Guaranty.
      As a material condition to this Agreement, Refiner shall concurrently deliver
      to
      Supplier a Continuing Guaranty, in the form attached to this Agreement as
      Schedule 7.8.

      from performance of its obligations hereunder (other than any obligation to

    (a) Expiration
      of Primary Term.
      The
      date that is the six year anniversary of the Effective Date; provided that
      a
      Party has provided notice of such termination to the other Party at least 120
      Days prior to the expiration of such period; provided further that the
      termination date shall automatically be extended for one additional year if
      such
      notice is not provided, and for additional one-year periods if such notice
      is
      not provided at least 120 Days prior to the end of each such one-year extension.
      In the event of an extension for an additional year, no later than 60 days
      prior
      to the beginning of any such extension, Supplier may request that Refiner
      provide to Supplier a Continuing Guaranty (For Extension Period) substantially
      in the form attached hereto as Schedule 11.1(a), for such additional year.
      If
      Refiner does not provide such a guaranty within 30 Days after such request,

      of Default.
      The
      date on which either Party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section
      9.2;

     

    (c) Force
      Majeure.
      The
      date on which the applicable Party terminates this Agreement pursuant to
Section
      11.3,

      providing notice of such termination to the other Party;

     

    (d) Processes
      and Specifications.
      The
      date on which Refiner terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section
      3.1(a),
      by
      providing notice to Supplier; and

     

    (e) Change
      in Law.
      In the
      event of a change in Applicable Laws that Refiner reasonably determines will
      have
      an
      adverse effect on anticipated refinery economics using LP analysis and industry
      practice, the date indicated in a notice by Refiner to Supplier; provided that
      such termination date shall not be sooner than 180 days following the date
      of
      such notice. Whether or not Refiner’s determination satisfies the standard set
      forth in this Section 11.1(e) shall be subject to arbitration under Section
      13.7.

     

    11.2 Effect
      of Termination.
      Termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not affect: (i) each Party’s
      obligation to perform its obligations arising hereunder prior to such
      termination, (ii) each Party’s indemnification and defense obligations and any
      other duties of either Party which by their nature are to be performed after
      termination of this Agreement, or (iii) damages as a result of an Event of
      Default.

     

    11.3 Termination
      for Extended Force Majeure.
      If an event of Force Majeure claimed by Refiner or Supplier persists for a
      continuous period of at least 180 Days or if the duration of an event of Force
      Majeure claimed by Refiner or Supplier is reasonably estimated by the Party
      claiming Force Majeure to be at least 180 Days, then the Party not claiming
      the
      Force Majeure shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this
      Agreement by giving notice of termination to the other Party. For purposes
      of
      this Section
      11.3,

    one
      event
      of Force Majeure and the commencement of another event of Force Majeure is
      less
      than 30 Days, the period of Force Majeure shall be deemed to be continuous,
      but
      the time between the Force Majeure periods shall not be counted in determining
      the 180-Day period required before termination hereunder is allowed.

      paragraphs of this Agreement. The words “hereto,” “herein,” “hereof,”

      Agreement as a whole and not to any particular portion or provision of this
      Agreement.

      of Interpretation.

     

    (a) The
      singular includes the plural and vice versa.

     

    (b) Except

    13.7 Resolution
      of Disputes - Negotiation and Arbitration

     

    (a) Negotiation
      Period.
      The
      Parties shall endeavor in good faith to negotiate a settlement of any and all
      disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement, its performance, validity
      or the breach or termination of this Agreement, regardless of whether such
      dispute is based on common law, contractual or statutory causes of action,
      including tort claims (each a “Dispute”).
      

     

    (b) Initiation
      of Arbitration.
      The
      pre-arbitration negotiation process provided in the foregoing Section 13.7(a)
      is
      to be considered a settlement negotiation for the purposes of all state and
      federal rules protecting disclosures made during such negotiations from later
      discovery or use in evidence. If a Dispute is not resolved within 45 Days after
      either Party first notifies the other of the Dispute in a written request for
      negotiations, or such later date as may be mutually agreed by the Parties,
      then
      each Party shall have the right at any time thereafter to refer the Dispute
      to
      binding arbitration under the International Institute for Conflict Prevention
      and Resolution Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration (the “Rules”)
      then
      in force, to the extent such Rules are not inconsistent with the provisions
      of
      this Agreement.

    (c) Selection
      of Arbitrators.
      The
      arbitral panel shall be composed of three arbitrators (the “Tribunal”).
      With
      the request for arbitration, the Party requesting arbitration (the “Claimant”)
      shall
      appoint one arbitrator. The Party named as respondent by the Claimant (the
      “Respondent”) shall appoint one arbitrator within the time specified in the
      Rules. The two arbitrators nominated by the Claimant and Respondent shall
      together nominate the third arbitrator, who shall be the chairman of the
      Tribunal, by mutual agreement within 20 Days of the second appointment of an
      arbitrator. If within the time specified a Party fails to nominate its
      party-appointed arbitrator or the two party-appointed arbitrators fail to
      nominate the third arbitrator, either party may request the CPR to make the
      appointment according to the Rules. If any nominated arbitrator is not
      appointed, declines, resigns, becomes incapacitated, or otherwise refuses or
      fails to serve or to continue to serve as an arbitrator, the Party or
      arbitrators entitled to appoint that arbitrator shall promptly nominate a
      successor. If the arbitrators are unable to agree on a replacement third
      arbitrator, then the CPR shall make the appointment according to the
      Rules.
      In the
      event that an arbitrator is objected to, the two remaining arbitrators shall
      decide whether the objection is valid and whether the challenged arbitrator
      shall be removed. The arbitrators shall be independent of the Parties and not
      have a financial interest in either of the Parties or their Affiliates or in
      the
      dispute, and shall be unaffiliated and without prior financial alliances with
      any Party, or either of the other arbitrators. The arbitrators shall be governed
      by the AAA/ABA Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes. The
      chairman shall be a former judge with experience in matters involving the oil
      and gas industry in the United States and with suitable experience of complex
      commercial disputes.

     

    (d) Seat,
      Discovery, Hearing.
      The
      seat of the arbitration shall be Salt Lake City, Utah. The evidentiary hearing
      shall be transcribed by a certified court reporter. The Tribunal shall determine
      the appropriate procedural rules, including the admissibility of evidence,
      subject to any procedures specified in this Agreement or the Rules. Within
      twenty (20) Days after the arbitration is commenced, the Parties shall confer
      and attempt to agree on the disclosure of specific documents or narrowly-defined
      categories of documents that are reasonably expected to be material to the
      issues in the Dispute and the identification of persons likely to have knowledge
      of facts reasonably expected to be material to the issues in the Dispute. If
      the
      Parties are unable to agree on a procedure within ten (10) Days, the Tribunal
      may make orders to any Party to disclose the documents and/or to identify the
      persons described above, which the Parties consent in advance to obey. If a
      Party fails or refuses to comply with an order for discovery, the Tribunal
      may
      take that failure into account when deciding the issues and may infer that
      the
      evidence not produced would have supported the opposing Party’s claims. Any
      applicable legal privileges against disclosure shall be recognized. Within
      thirty (30) Days after completion of discovery, each Party shall submit by
      overnight delivery to the other Party and the arbitrators a precise Statement
      of
      Claims (or Counterclaims) and the factual and/or legal support therefore,
      including documents and statements of fact and expert witnesses. Within twenty
      (20) Days after receiving such statement, the other Party shall submit by
      overnight delivery to the first Party and the arbitrators a precise Statement
      of
      Defense to the Claims (or Counterclaims) asserted against it and the factual
      and/or legal support therefore, including documents and statements of fact
      and
      expert witnesses. The Tribunal shall conduct a hearing no later than ninety
      (90)
      Days following selection of the third arbitrator, or thirty (30) Days after
      all
      discovery has been completed, whichever is later.

    (e) Award.
      The
      arbitrators shall consider the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and
      any
      relevant evidence and testimony, and shall render their award (the “Award”)
      within
      30 Days following conclusion of the hearing. The Tribunal shall have no power
      to
      award any remedy not authorized by the governing law or barred by this
      Agreement, and they may not rely on any law or legal principle to avoid such
      limitations on remedies. The Award shall be in writing, shall give reasons
      for
      the decisions reached by the Tribunal and shall be signed and dated by the
      arbitrators, and a copy of the award shall be delivered to each of the Parties.
      The award may be made unanimously or by a majority of arbitrators. The award
      shall be final and binding on the parties and may be confirmed in, and judgment
      upon the award entered by, any court having jurisdiction over the Parties.
      The
      Tribunal’s award shall be entitled to all of the protections and benefits of a
      final judgment as to any Dispute, including compulsory counterclaims, that
      were
      or could have been presented to the Tribunal, and shall be final and binding
      on
      the Parties and non-appealable to the maximum extent permitted by law. The
      Award
      shall provide for interest on the Award at a per annum rate which shall be
      two
      percentage points above the U.S. prime rate as published in the Wall Street
      Journal (or such other publications as the arbitrators select) in effect on
      the
      date of the Award, commencing on the 31st Day following delivery of the Award
      to
      the Parties and continuing until the Award and any accrued interest is paid
      in
      full. 

     

    (f) Exclusive
      Method of Resolving Claims; Assistance of Courts.
      If a
      Party refuses to honor its obligations under this agreement to arbitrate, the
      other Party may obtain appropriate relief staying such litigation and/or
      compelling arbitration in any court having jurisdiction over the refusing Party;
      each Party hereby consenting to the non-exclusive personal jurisdiction and
      venue in the federal and State courts in Salt Lake City, Utah for the purpose
      of
      enforcing this Agreement. Notwithstanding Section
      13.7(a),
      a Party
      may seek interim or injunctive relief from the courts to aid arbitration or
      preserve the status quo ante between the Parties pending the completion of
      the
      arbitration. After a Tribunal has been formed, it shall also have the power
      to
      issue interim remedies, provisional measures or partial awards as it deems
      appropriate. Each Party agrees that arbitration pursuant to this Section
      13.7
      shall be
      the exclusive method for resolving all Disputes and that it will not commence
      an
      action or proceeding, except as provided in this Section
      13.7.

     

    (h) Costs.
      The
      Tribunal shall have the authority to assess the costs and expenses of the
      arbitration proceeding (including the arbitrators’ fees and expenses) against
      either or both parties. Each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and other
      legal costs; provided, however, that any costs incurred by a Party in seeking
      judicial enforcement of any Award shall be chargeable to and borne exclusively
      by the Party against whom such court order is obtained.

     

    13.8 Governing
      Law.
      This
      Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
      the
      State of Utah, U.S.A., without regard to any choice of law principles that
      would
      direct the application of the law of another jurisdiction.

     

    13.9 Assignment;
      Delegation.
      The rights and obligations of any Party under this Agreement may not be assigned
      or delegated without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any
      assignment or delegation not in compliance with the foregoing shall be null
      and
      void, provided that, (i) either Party may assign or delegate its rights or
      obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates without the other Party’s
      consent, provided that no such assignment or delegation 

     

    
      
         

      

      
        18

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    shall

      for CUSTOMER’s performance of the CONTRACT (“Indebtedness”) so long as the
      CONTRACT is in full force and effect and until CUSTOMER has fully performed
      the

      any other provision of this GUARANTY, (a) GUARANTOR’S liability under this
      GUARANTY shall not exceed the aggregate amount of $25,000,000 and (b)
      GUARANTOR’S liability under this GUARANTY shall terminate automatically on July
