GYPSUM CONTRACT
(Miami Fort Station)
This Gypsum Contract (“Contract”) executed January 17, 2017, but effective as of January 1, 2017 (“Effective Date”) is between Dynegy Miami Fort, LLC (“Seller”) and Continental Silver Grove, LLC (“Buyer”).  Seller and Buyer may be referred to collectively as the “Parties” or individually as a “Party”.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Seller is the operator of Units 7 and 8 of the Miami Fort Generating Station located in North Bend, Ohio (the “Miami Fort Station”);
WHEREAS, Seller wishes to sell synthetic gypsum which complies with the requirements set forth on Exhibit A (“Complying Gypsum”) from the Miami Fort Station to Buyer, and Buyer wishes to purchase synthetic gypsum from Seller on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and Buyer will use the Complying Gypsum to produce wallboard and other gypsum-related products at Buyer’s facility in Silver Grove, Kentucky (the “Buyer Plant”), or elsewhere, and may also resell it to others; and
WHEREAS, concurrently herewith, Buyer and Seller’s affiliate, Dynegy Zimmer, LLC (“Zimmer Seller”), have executed that certain Gypsum Contract of even date herewith pursuant to which Zimmer Seller will sell to Buyer and Buyer will purchase from Zimmer Seller gypsum generated by the Wm. H. Zimmer Generating Station (the “Zimmer Station”) (the “Zimmer Contract”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals, the mutual promises herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the Parties hereby acknowledge, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, stipulate and agree as follows:
		
	1.
	Purchase of Minimum and Maximum Amounts of Gypsum

1.1.Minimum and Maximum Amounts.  
1.1.1.During each Contract Year, Seller shall sell and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase and accept from Seller, at a minimum, the amount of tons of Complying Gypsum that is equal to the greater of (i) * * * (the “Minimum Amount”); provided that (A) if in any Contract Year the Miami Fort Station and the Zimmer Station are collectively scheduled to have at least one hundred (100) outage days for such Contract Year, then the Minimum Amount for such Contract Year shall be the lesser of * * *; provided, further that if the Miami Fort Station and the Zimmer Station are collectively scheduled to have at least one hundred outage days in any Contract Year that is five or fewer years after a Contract Year in which the Miami Fort Station and the Zimmer Station collectively had at least one hundred outage days, the Minimum Amount for such later Contract Year shall be * * * and (B) in no event shall Seller be obligated to sell or Buyer obligated to purchase more than the amount of tons of Complying Gypsum that is equal to * * * (the “Maximum Amount”).  The Minimum Amount and Maximum Amount shall be adjusted as provided in this Contract.  Each “Contract Year” shall begin on January 1 and end on the following December 31.  As used in this Contract “ton” means (i) dry tons when calculating the payments to be made by Buyer under Section 17 or the price discounts and incentives under Sections 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 and (ii) wet tons for all other 

cases under this Contract (including the calculation of the Minimum Amount, the Maximum Amount and any liquidated damages). As used in this Contract, “Scheduled Operating Days” means the days the Miami Fort Station is scheduled to be operating, as specified in each annual notice delivered pursuant to Section 1.1.4.
1.1.2.Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.1.1, on January 1, 2021 and January 1st of every fourth Contract Year thereafter, the Parties shall reevaluate the Minimum Amount and the Maximum Amount.  The Parties shall meet and negotiate in good faith for a period of ninety (90) days to determine if the Minimum Amount and Maximum Amount should be adjusted based on current conditions, including the capacity of the Miami Fort Station to generate Complying Gypsum based on market conditions, operating conditions, fuel source and the ability of the Buyer Plant to accept and process Complying Gypsum, and other applicable factors.  If the Parties are unable to agree on a Minimum Amount and Maximum Amount at the end of any such 90-day negotiating period, then (i) if Seller has requested a decrease to the Minimum Amount, the Minimum Amount and the Maximum Amount shall each be * * * from that existing immediately before the start of such negotiations, and (ii) if Seller requests an increase to the Minimum Amount, then the Minimum Amount and the Maximum Amount shall each be * * * from that existing immediately before the start of such negotiations.  Any change to the Minimum Amount or Maximum Amount agreed to by the Parties shall be memorialized in an amendment to this Contract.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that the Maximum Amount shall always equal * * *.
1.1.3.Without limiting Buyer’s obligation under this Contract to accept and pay for all Complying Gypsum under this Contract up to the Maximum Amount, if Buyer is refusing to accept gypsum for reasons that are not permitted by this Contract, Buyer shall first refuse to accept gypsum under the Zimmer Contract before refusing to accept gypsum under this Contract.
1.1.4.No later than October 31st of each Contract Year, Seller shall provide Buyer the Minimum Amount, Maximum Amount and the Scheduled Operating Days for the following Contract Year.

1.2.Failure of Seller to Deliver Minimum Amount.  Notwithstanding the terms of Section 1.1, if during any Contract Year, Seller fails to deliver the Minimum Amount to Buyer, Seller shall be permitted to count any tons of gypsum delivered to Buyer under the Zimmer Contract in excess of the minimum amounts required to be delivered under the Zimmer Contract (the “Zimmer Surplus Amount”) toward the Minimum Amount delivered under this Contract.  During any Contract Year, if Seller fails to deliver the Minimum Amount after adding any Zimmer Surplus Amount, and Seller’s failure to deliver is not due to Force Majeure, Seller will pay Buyer liquidated damages equal to the number of tons of Complying Gypsum by which Seller fails to meet the Minimum Amount (after adding any Zimmer Surplus Amount) multiplied by two times the Base Contract Price per ton then in effect during the period for which Seller fails to deliver the Minimum Amount (the “Minimum Amount LD Rate”).  Such damages shall be credited to Buyer forty-five (45) days following the end of the applicable Contract Year.  Such credit shall be carried forward for two (2) months into the next Contract Year.  At the end of the two (2) month period, Seller shall pay Buyer the balance due on any such credit by check or by other mutually agreeable means within thirty (30) days.  At the end of the Term, Seller shall pay any credit owed Buyer within forty-five (45) days.  For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no duplication of liquidated damages owed under this Section 1.2 and liquidated damages owed under Section 1.2 of the Zimmer Contract for the failure of Zimmer Seller to deliver the minimum amount of gypsum required under the Zimmer Contract.

1.3.Failure of Buyer to Purchase Maximum Amount.  Buyer must accept and pay for all Complying Gypsum Seller is able to deliver up to the Maximum Amount.  During any Contract Year, if Buyer fails to accept Complying Gypsum up to the Maximum Amount and Buyer’s failure is not due to Force Majeure, Buyer shall pay Seller liquidated damages equal to the number of tons of Complying Gypsum by which Buyer fails to take the Maximum Amount multiplied by two times the Base Contract Price per ton then in effect during the period for which Buyer fails to purchase the Maximum Amount (the “Maximum Amount LD Rate”).  Buyer shall pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 1.3 within forty-five (45) days after the end of the applicable Contract Year.  Nothing herein shall affect the validity of Section 1.1.1.
1.4.Excess Amount.  If the amount of Complying Gypsum Seller is capable of delivering to Buyer exceeds the Maximum Amount (“Excess Amount”), Buyer may accept or decline to receive the Excess Amount at its sole discretion.  Seller shall first offer such Excess Amount to Buyer and Buyer must respond within fifteen (15) days.  If Buyer accepts the Excess Amount, the terms of this Contract shall apply to the purchase and sale of such Excess Amount and the Excess Amount will be included in the total tonnage delivered during such applicable Contract Year.  If Buyer declines to accept the Excess Amount of Complying Gypsum, Seller shall have the right to sell or dispose of the Complying Gypsum in its sole discretion and the quantity will not be included in the tonnage delivered during such applicable Contract Year.  If Buyer desires to take any gypsum in excess of the Maximum Amount, Buyer will take any Excess Amount available under this Contract before taking any excess gypsum under the Zimmer Contract.
1.5.Sole Remedy.  The liquidated damages payable by Seller under Section 1.2 shall be the sole remedy to Buyer for Seller’s failure to deliver the Minimum Amount of Complying Gypsum.  The liquidated damages payable by Buyer under Section 1.3 shall be the sole remedy to Seller for Buyer’s failure to take up to the Maximum Amount of Complying Gypsum.  It is expressly agreed that the liquidated damages payable under this Contract do not constitute a penalty and that the Parties have negotiated in good faith for such specific liquidated damages and have agreed that the amount of such liquidated damages is reasonable in light of the anticipated harm caused by the breach related thereto and the difficulties of proof of loss and inconvenience or nonfeasibility of obtaining any adequate remedy.
		
	2.
	Complying Gypsum.

2.1.Specifications.  Complying Gypsum shall meet each of the specifications set forth in Exhibit A.  Gypsum shall be sampled by Seller, and its compliance with the specifications of Exhibit A shall be determined, in accordance with the protocols set forth in Exhibit A, at the time of such sampling.  Sampling shall be at Seller’s expense.  Sampling data will be promptly transmitted electronically, and in any event Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transmit the data in the same day, to ensure Buyer is informed of the status of the gypsum quality.
2.2.Moisture Content.  Buyer will purchase and accept deliveries of, and gypsum will be deemed to be, Complying Gypsum if it contains no less than * * * moisture, no more than * * * moisture, and if the gypsum otherwise meets the specifications set forth in Exhibit A.  The moisture content average shall be determined monthly, and the monthly figures shall be weighted on a tonnage basis to calculate the annual average moisture content per ton of Complying Gypsum for each Contract Year.
2.2.1.Price Discount.  If the annual average moisture content exceeds * * *, rounded to the nearest one-tenth of a percentage point, Buyer shall be entitled to a price discount (on a dry ton basis) equal to:

After the two (2) month period, Seller shall pay Buyer the balance due on any such credit by check or by other mutually agreeable means within thirty (30) days.  At the end of the Term, Seller shall pay any credit owed Buyer within forty-five (45) days.
2.2.2.Price Incentive.  If the annual average moisture content is * * * or less, rounded to the nearest one-tenth of a percentage point, Seller shall be entitled to a price incentive (on a dry ton basis) as follows:
	
		
	Moisture Content
	Price Incentive

	* * *

Any incentive balance owed to Seller at the completion of a Contract Year shall be added to the first invoice of the subsequent Contract Year.  If the amount of the annual incentive exceeds the amount owed by Buyer to Seller at the end of the Term, Buyer shall pay the difference to Seller within forty-five (45) days.
		
	3.
	Non-Complying Gypsum.

		
	3.1.
	Rejection Prior to Delivery.  Prior to taking delivery of gypsum, Buyer may reject or accept, in its sole discretion, any gypsum that fails to meet one or more of the specifications in Exhibit A (“Non-Complying Gypsum”) offered to it by Seller.  If Buyer accepts the Non-Complying Gypsum, the Parties shall mutually agree in writing on price and delivery terms and such Non-Complying Gypsum will be included in the total tonnage delivered during such applicable Contract Year.

		
	3.2.
	Rejection After Delivery.  If Buyer believes it has taken delivery to its barge staging area of what it believes is Non-Complying Gypsum, then within ten (10) days after such delivery the Parties shall commence and follow the procedures set forth on Exhibit B.

		
	4.
	Delivery.

		
	4.1.
	Delivery by Barge.  Seller will deliver Complying Gypsum by loading it onto Buyer’s open-hopper barges at the Miami Fort Station harbor.  A belt scale at Miami Fort S

tation will weigh the gypsum immediately prior to loading on the open-hopper barges.  Seller will test and calibrate the belt scale at least once a month in accordance with the National Institute of Standards and Technology Handbook 44 for belt scales.  Buyer shall have the right to observe the weighing of gypsum, and the testing and calibration of the belt scale.  Seller shall provide advance notice, upon request, to Buyer of the time and date of the belt scale calibration.  In the event that calibration shows the scale used to weigh gypsum to be inaccurate by more than plus or minus one half of one percent (.5%), the inaccuracy shall be presumed to have existed for one-half the number of days since the last time the scale was calibrated, and an adjustment shall be made to the next invoice to reflect the adjustment debit or credit.  Seller shall provide the results of each calibration on the next invoice sent to Buyer.  During any period when Seller’s belt scale is inoperable, the Parties shall mutually agree to a procedure for determining the quantity of the gypsum delivered.
		
	4.2.
	Buyer’s Barges.  All of Buyer’s barges entering the Miami Fort Station harbor shall be seaworthy, in good operating condition and repair, and in compliance with all Applicable Laws.  Seller will maintain the Miami Fort Station harbor to accommodate at least * * *.  When Seller dredges the Miami Fort Station harbor in the normal course of maintaining it, Seller will dredge to a depth to accommodate deep draft barges.  Seller may reject any barges that contain free water in the cargo hold and will give Buyer customary notice of such rejection.  Seller shall give Buyer customary notice of the number of barges Seller expects will be required to remove gypsum the following day.  In accordance with such notice, Buyer must provide a sufficient number of barges to transport all of the gypsum delivered under this Contract on a timely basis.  Seller shall provide space at the Miami Fort Station harbor for * * * deep draft barges at any time.

		
	4.3.
	Delivery by Truck.  Upon ten (10) days’ notice to Seller, Buyer shall have the right to require Seller to load gypsum onto trucks that are supplied by Buyer, provided that (i) Buyer shall be limited to 50 trucks a day, and (ii) Buyer shall not have the right to take delivery of gypsum by truck for more than two (2) weeks during any 6-month period.  Any loading of trucks shall be during Seller’s normal operating hours for truck deliveries and any loading of trucks outside of this time frame shall be done only upon mutual agreement of the Parties.  A certified truck scale will be used to determine the net weight of the gypsum promptly after loading on a truck.  Gypsum loaded onto trucks will incur an additional truck-loading fee of * * * per ton (escalated in the same manner as the Base Contract Price set forth in Section 6) (the “Truck Loading Fee”) paid by Buyer to Seller to offset the additional labor and equipment needed for truck loading operations instead of loading barges.

		
	4.4.
	Delivery by Rail.  By mutual agreement of the Parties, Buyer shall have the right to require Seller to load gypsum on to railcars supplied by Buyer.  The terms of the railcar loading shall be negotiated at the time the Parties agree on using this method of transportation.

		
	4.5.
	Non-Complying Gypsum.  If Buyer elects to purchase and take Non-Complying Gypsum, Seller will deliver the Non-Complying Gypsum to Buyer by the same methods and under the same terms and conditions for loading Complying Gypsum.

		
	4.6.
	Scheduling.  Buyer will be responsible for all carrier scheduling and logistics including costs and contracting arrangements.  Seller shall give notice to Buyer that loading of a barge is complete in the manner customarily given by the Miami Fort Station harbor.  Notification of completion of truck or railcar loading at Miami Fort Station will be the responsibility of the Buyer’s gypsum carrier. 

		
	4.7.
	Title and Risk of Loss.  At the completion of loading each barge, truck or rail car at the Miami Fort Station harbor or facility respectively, title to and the risk of loss of the loaded gypsum will pass from Seller to Buyer.

		
	4.8.
	Motor Carriers and Barge Operators.  The only persons permitted to access the Miami Fort Station by or on behalf of Buyer under this Contract are motor carriers and barge operators, provided that Buyer shall deliver to Seller for Seller’s approval a written list of motor carriers and barge operators that Buyer proposes to engage or use in the performance of the transportation of gypsum before any such person accesses the Miami Fort Station, and Seller shall have the right to approve or reject each proposed motor carrier or barge operator.  Buyer shall ensure that each motor carrier or barge operator (i) holds all required permits with all applicable governmental authorities, (ii) is qualified and competent to transport gypsum, (iii) holds all insurance required under Section 19 and by Applicable Laws, (iv) conducts the hauling of all gypsum under this Contract in such a manner as required to prevent any material amounts of gypsum from being blown or falling off its vehicle or barge, as applicable, during transportation or becoming an environmental nuisance or source of complaint, and (v) has a copy of the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the gypsum being transported available in its vehicle or barge transporting such gypsum.  Buyer shall promptly remove any personnel of any Buyer Party at the Miami Fort Station if, in Seller’s commercially reasonable judgment it is desirable (including any personnel who, in Seller’s commercially reasonable judgment, is unsafe, incompetent, careless, unqualified to perform the work assigned to such person, creates an unsafe or hostile work environment, disregards the terms and conditions of this Contract, or is interrupting, interfering with or impeding the timely and proper completion of the work), and SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO BUYER AND BUYER AGREES, WITHOUT LIMIT AND AT ITS OWN COST, TO RELEASE, DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD THE SELLER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES HARMLESS FOR, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM ANY SUCH REMOVAL OTHER THAN ANY REMOVAL BY SELLER THAT IS ULTIMATELY DETERMINED TO BE FOR A REASON THAT IS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  Buyer shall be responsible for observance by all barge operators and motor carriers of all the provisions of this Contract applicable to such barge operator’s or motor carrier’s performance, and Buyer shall be fully responsible to Seller for the acts or omissions of any barge operator or motor carrier as if Buyer itself had acted or failed to act.

		
	4.9.
	Safety at the Miami Fort Station.  Seller is concerned with the safety of all persons on its property, and imposes certain reasonable restrictions in an attempt to insure their safety.  Buyer shall have a safety program that complies with all Applicable Laws, industry standards and Seller’s health, safety and environmental rules, regulations and policies in effect at any given time at the Miami Fort Station (“Seller’s Policies”).  In recognition of these concerns, Seller requires that Buyer or any persons or entities acting by, through or under Buyer (including barge operators or motor carriers) comply with any and all policies, directions and safety requirements or instructions, whether verbal, written, or otherwise, while at the Miami Fort Station, as communicated to Buyer by Seller, directly or indirectly, including Seller’s Policies.  BUYER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS THE SELLER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR RESULTING FROM THE FAILURE OF BUYER OR ANY PERSONS ACTING BY, THROUGH OR UNDER BUYER (

INCLUDING BARGE OPERATORS OR MOTOR CARRIERS) TO COMPLY WITH ANY AND ALL POLICIES, DIRECTIONS AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS OR INSTRUCTIONS, WHETHER VERBAL, WRITTEN, OR OTHERWISE (INCLUDING SELLER’S POLICIES), WHILE AT THE MIAMI FORT STATION.
		
	4.10.
	Use of Miami Fort Station.  Buyer shall cause all barge operators and motor carriers to confine their materials and equipment and the operations of its personnel at the Miami Fort Station to the limits indicated by Seller, and to not unreasonably encumber the Miami Fort Station.  Buyer shall cause all barge operators and motor carriers to remove all rubbish and waste material from the Miami Fort Station caused by such barge operators or motor carriers or an operation under their charge.  Buyer shall cause all barge operators and motor carriers to promptly remove all equipment from the Miami Fort Station and clean up its refuse and debris upon completion of the loading of each shipment of Gypsum.  Buyer shall promptly repair at its expense any damage to any of Seller’s real or personal property (including the Miami Fort Station) caused by any Buyer Party.

	Personal injury to or death of any person, and damage to or destruction of property to the extent arising out of the negligence (of any type) or willful misconduct of any Buyer Party or anyone directly or indirectly employed by them or anyone for whose acts they may be liable.

	Seller’s Indemnification.  To the maximum extent permitted by law, Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, shareholders, members, partners, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against all Claims to the extent arising out of:

	Indemnity Procedures.  If any Buyer Indemnified Party or any Seller Indemnified Party (an “Indemnified Party”) receives notice of any claim or circumstance which could give rise to an indemnified loss, the receiving party shall give written notice to the Party obligated to provide indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) within ten (10) days.  The notice must include a description of the indemnification event in reasonable detail, the basis on which indemnification may be due, and the anticipated amount of the indemnified loss.  This notice shall not estop or prevent the Indemnified Party from later asserting a different basis for indemnification or a different amount of indemnified loss than that indicated in the initial notice.  If the Indemnified Party does not provide this notice within the 10-day period, it does not waive any right to indemnification except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced, suffers loss, or incurs expense because of the delay.  The Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of the claim at its own expense with counsel chosen by it that is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.

If within ten (10) days after receiving written notice of the indemnification request, the Indemnifying Party does not confirm to the Indemnified Party that it will defend the claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume and control the defense, and all defense expenses incurred by it shall constitute an indemnification loss.  If the Indemnifying Party defends a claim, the Indemnified Party may retain separate counsel, at its sole cost and expense, to participate in (but not control) the defense and to participate in (but not control) any settlement negotiations.  The Indemnifying Party may settle the claim without the consent or agreement of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement (i) would result in injunctive relief or other equitable remedies or otherwise require the Indemnified Party to comply with restrictions or limitations that adversely affect the Indemnified Party, (ii) would require the Indemnified Party to pay amounts that the Indemnifying Party does not fund in full, or (iii) would not result in the Indemnified Party’s full and complete release from all liability to the plaintiffs or claimants who are parties to or otherwise bound by the settlement.

		
	13.5.
	Enforceability.  In the event that any indemnity provisions hereunder are contrary to Applicable Law, then the indemnity obligations applicable hereunder shall be applied to the maximum extent allowed by Applicable Law.  The indemnity, defense and hold harmless obligations for personal injury or death or property damage under this Contract shall apply regardless of whether the Indemnified Party was concurrently negligent (whether actively or passively), it being agreed by the Parties that in this event, the Parties’ respective liability or responsibility for such damages, losses, costs and expenses under this Section 13 shall be determined in accordance with principles of comparative negligence.

		
	14.

Exhibit B

		
	1.
	Buyer shall provide Seller no less than 48 hours’ notice of its intent to re-sample the delivery and an opportunity to witness the same.  

		
	2.
	Buyer’s sampling shall be performed in accordance with the following:  Buyer shall take six samples, each taken equal distance the length of the applicable barge, within a central rectangle holding a minimum of 5’ from barge edges and bottom of the barge, and each sample collected should be no less than one (1) foot from the upper crust (see demonstrative sketch attached as Exhibit B).  

		
	3.
	Each sample will be split into 3, one for the Buyer, one for the Seller and one for a 3rd party tester.

		
	4.
	Each sample should be tested separately and results reported as such.  If Seller is unable to witness such sampling, Buyer shall provide Seller with the split samples.

		
	5.
	If two or more of the six samples measured by Buyer and two or more of the six samples measured by Seller are out of specification then Seller shall have the right to (i) propose a price adjustment or alternative solution or (ii) remove the Non-Complying Gypsum from the Buyer Plant at Seller’s cost. If Seller neither proposes a price adjustment nor removes the Non-Complying Gypsum, then Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any per ton removal costs and increased production costs incurred by Buyer, provided that such reimbursement shall never exceed two times the applicable per ton Base Contract Price.  The Non-Complying Gypsum will not count towards the total tonnage delivered during the applicable Contract Year unless agreed upon as part of a price adjustment or alternative solution.

		
	6.
	If Seller tests the gypsum and the results do not agree with Buyer’s results, the Parties shall agree on an independent third party testing to perform testing on the spilt sample to determine if the gypsum was Complying Gypsum or Non-Complying Gypsum at the time the specifications were determined pursuant to the sampling provisions of Exhibit A, the costs of which shall be split by the Parties, and the results of which shall be binding on the Parties.

		
	7.
	For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall have no right to reject any gypsum more than ten (10) days after Buyer has received the barge at its barge staging area.

GYPSUM CONTRACT
(Zimmer Station)
This Gypsum Contract (“Contract”) executed January 17, 2017, but effective as of January 1, 2017 (“Effective Date”) is between Dynegy Zimmer, LLC (“Seller”) and Continental Silver Grove, LLC (“Buyer”).  Seller and Buyer may be referred to collectively as the “Parties” or individually as a “Party”.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Seller is the operator of the Wm. H. Zimmer Generating Station located in Moscow, Ohio (the “Zimmer Station”);
WHEREAS, Seller wishes to sell synthetic gypsum which complies with the requirements set forth on Exhibit A (“Complying Gypsum”) from the Zimmer Station to Buyer, and Buyer wishes to purchase synthetic gypsum from Seller on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and Buyer will use the Complying Gypsum to produce wallboard and other gypsum-related products at Buyer’s facility in Silver Grove, Kentucky (the “Buyer Plant”), or elsewhere, and may also resell it to others; and
WHEREAS, concurrently herewith, Buyer and Seller’s affiliate, Dynegy Miami Fort, LLC (“Miami Fort Seller”), have executed that certain Gypsum Contract of even date herewith pursuant to which Miami Fort Seller will sell to Buyer and Buyer will purchase from Miami Fort Seller gypsum generated by the Miami Fort Generating Station (the “Miami Fort Station”) (the “Miami Fort Contract”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals, the mutual promises herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the Parties hereby acknowledge, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, stipulate and agree as follows:
		
	1.
	Purchase of Minimum and Maximum Amounts of Gypsum

		
	1.1.
	Minimum and Maximum Amounts.  

		
	1.1.1.
	During each Contract Year, Seller shall sell and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase and accept from Seller, at a minimum, the amount of tons of Complying Gypsum that is equal to the greater of (i) * * * (the “Minimum Amount”); provided that (A) if in any Contract Year the Zimmer Station and the Miami Fort Station are collectively scheduled to have at least one hundred (100) outage days for such Contract Year, then the Minimum Amount for such Contract Year shall be the lesser of * * *; provided, further that if the Zimmer Station and the Miami Fort Station are collectively scheduled to have at least one hundred outage days in any Contract Year that is five or fewer years after a Contract Year in which the Zimmer Station and the Miami Fort Station collectively had at least one hundred outage days, the Minimum Amount for such later Contract Year shall be * * * and (B) in no event shall Seller be obligated to sell or Buyer obligated to purchase more than the amount of tons of Complying Gypsum that is equal to * * * (the “Maximum Amount”).  The Minimum Amount and Maximum Amount shall be adjusted as provided in this Contract.  Each “Contract Year” shall begin on January 1 and end on the following December 31.  As used in this Contract “ton” means (i) dry tons when calculating the payments to be made by 

Buyer under Section 17 or the price discounts and incentives under Sections 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 and (ii) wet tons for all other cases under this Contract (including the calculation of the Minimum Amount, the Maximum Amount and any liquidated damages). As used in this Contract, “Scheduled Operating Days” means the days the Zimmer Station is scheduled to be operating, as specified in each annual notice delivered pursuant to Section 1.1.4.  
		
	1.1.2.
	Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.1.1, on January 1, 2021 and January 1st of every fourth Contract Year thereafter, the Parties shall reevaluate the Minimum Amount and the Maximum Amount.  The Parties shall meet and negotiate in good faith for a period of ninety (90) days to determine if the Minimum Amount and Maximum Amount should be adjusted based on current conditions, including the capacity of the Zimmer Station to generate Complying Gypsum based on market conditions, operating conditions, fuel source and the ability of the Buyer Plant to accept and process Complying Gypsum, and other applicable factors.  If the Parties are unable to agree on a Minimum Amount and Maximum Amount at the end of any such 90-day negotiating period, then (i) if Seller has requested a decrease to the Minimum Amount, the Minimum Amount and the Maximum Amount shall each be * * * from that existing immediately before the start of such negotiations, and (ii) if Seller requests an increase to the Minimum Amount, then the Minimum Amount and the Maximum Amount shall each be * * * from that existing immediately before the start of such negotiations.  In addition, upon the Limestone Conversion, the Parties shall meet and negotiate in good faith to determine if the Minimum Amount and Maximum Amount should be adjusted.  Any change to the Minimum Amount or Maximum Amount agreed to by the Parties shall be memorialized in an amendment to this Contract.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that the Maximum Amount shall always equal * * *.

		
	1.1.3.
	Without limiting Buyer’s obligation under this Contract to accept and pay for all Complying Gypsum under this Contract up to the Maximum Amount, if Buyer is refusing to accept gypsum for reasons that are not permitted by this Contract, Buyer shall first refuse to accept gypsum under this Contract before refusing to accept gypsum under the Miami Fort Contract.

		
	1.1.4.
	No later than October 31st of each Contract Year, Seller shall provide Buyer the Minimum Amount, Maximum Amount and the Scheduled Operating Days for the following Contract Year.

		
	1.2.
	Failure of Seller to Deliver Minimum Amount.  Notwithstanding the terms of Section 1.1, if during any Contract Year, Seller fails to deliver the Minimum Amount to Buyer, Seller shall be permitted to count any tons of gypsum delivered to Buyer under the Miami Fort Contract in excess of the minimum amounts required to be delivered under the Miami Fort Contract (the “Miami Fort Surplus Amount”) toward the Minimum Amount delivered under this Contract.  During any Contract Year, if Seller fails to deliver the Minimum Amount after adding any Miami Fort Surplus Amount, and Seller’s failure to deliver is not due to Force Majeure, Seller will pay Buyer liquidated damages equal to the number of tons of Complying Gypsum by which Seller fails to meet the Minimum Amount (after adding any Miami Fort Surplus Amount) multiplied by two times the Base Contract Price per ton then in effect under the Miami Fort Contract (the “Miami Fort Base Contract Price”) during the period for which Seller fails to deliver the Minimum Amount (the “Minimum Amount LD Rate”).  Such damages shall be credited to Buyer forty-five (45) days following the end of the applicable Contract Year.  Such credit shall be carried forward for two (2) months into the next Contract Year.  At the end of the two (2) month period, Seller shall pay Buyer the balance due on any 

such credit by check or by other mutually agreeable means within thirty (30) days.  At the end of the Term, Seller shall pay any credit owed Buyer within forty-five (45) days.  For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no duplication of liquidated damages owed under this Section 1.2 and liquidated damages owed under Section 1.2 of the Miami Fort Contract for the failure of Miami Fort Seller to deliver the minimum amount of gypsum required under the Miami Fort Contract.  
		
	1.3.
	Failure of Buyer to Purchase Maximum Amount.  Buyer must accept and pay for all Complying Gypsum Seller is able to deliver up to the Maximum Amount.  During any Contract Year, if Buyer fails to accept Complying Gypsum up to the Maximum Amount and Buyer’s failure is not due to Force Majeure, Buyer shall pay Seller liquidated damages equal to the number of tons of Complying Gypsum by which Buyer fails to take the Maximum Amount multiplied by two times the Miami Fort Base Contract Price per ton then in effect during the period for which Buyer fails to purchase the Maximum Amount (the “Maximum Amount LD Rate”).  Buyer shall pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 1.3 within forty-five (45) days after the end of the applicable Contract Year.  Nothing herein shall affect the validity of Section 1.1.1. 

		
	1.4.
	Excess Amount.  If the amount of Complying Gypsum Seller is capable of delivering to Buyer exceeds the Maximum Amount (“Excess Amount”), Buyer may accept or decline to receive the Excess Amount at its sole discretion.  Seller shall first offer such Excess Amount to Buyer and Buyer must respond within fifteen (15) days.  If Buyer accepts the Excess Amount, the terms of this Contract shall apply to the purchase and sale of such Excess Amount and the Excess Amount will be included in the total tonnage delivered during such applicable Contract Year.  If Buyer declines to accept the Excess Amount of Complying Gypsum, Seller shall have the right to sell or dispose of the Complying Gypsum in its sole discretion and the quantity will not be included in the tonnage delivered during such applicable Contract Year.  If Buyer desires to take any gypsum in excess of the Maximum Amount, Buyer will take any excess gypsum available under the Miami Fort Contract before taking any Excess Amount under this Contract.

		
	1.5.
	Sole Remedy.  The liquidated damages payable by Seller under Section 1.2 shall be the sole remedy to Buyer for Seller’s failure to deliver the Minimum Amount of Complying Gypsum.  The liquidated damages payable by Buyer under Section 1.3 shall be the sole remedy to Seller for Buyer’s failure to take up to the Maximum Amount of Complying Gypsum.  It is expressly agreed that the liquidated damages payable under this Contract do not constitute a penalty and that the Parties have negotiated in good faith for such specific liquidated damages and have agreed that the amount of such liquidated damages is reasonable in light of the anticipated harm caused by the breach related thereto and the difficulties of proof of loss and inconvenience or nonfeasibility of obtaining any adequate remedy.

		
	2.
	Complying Gypsum.

		
	2.1.
	Specifications.  Complying Gypsum shall meet each of the specifications set forth in Exhibit A.  Gypsum shall be sampled by Seller, and its compliance with the specifications of Exhibit A shall be determined, in accordance with the protocols set forth in Exhibit A, at the time of such sampling.  Sampling shall be at Seller’s expense.  Sampling data will be promptly transmitted electronically, and in any event Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transmit the data in the same day, to ensure Buyer is informed of the status of the gypsum quality.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Zimmer Station completes the Limestone Conversion (as described in Section 6.2), then Seller and Buyer shall promptly meet to negotiate the appropriate changes to the specifications set forth in Exhibit A, with the expectation that the specifications will be revised to match those under the Miami Fort 

Contract.  Any change to the specifications agreed to by the Parties shall be memorialized in an amendment to this Contract.
		
	2.2.
	Moisture Content.  Buyer will purchase and accept deliveries of, and gypsum will be deemed to be, Complying Gypsum if it contains no less than * * * moisture, no more than * * * moisture, and if the gypsum otherwise meets the specifications set forth in Exhibit A.  The moisture content average shall be determined monthly, and the monthly figures shall be weighted on a tonnage basis to calculate the annual average moisture content per ton of Complying Gypsum for each Contract Year.

		
	2.2.1.
	Price Discount.  If the annual average moisture content exceeds * * *, rounded to the nearest one-tenth of a percentage point, Buyer shall be entitled to a price discount (on a dry ton basis) equal to:

	
		
	Moisture Content
	Price Discount

	* * *
	* * *

	* * *
	* * *

	* * *
	* * *

	* * *
	* * *

	* * *
	* * *

	* * *
	* * *

	* * *
	* * *

Any discount owed to Buyer shall be credited on the first invoice for the subsequent Contract Year.  Such credit shall be carried forward for two months in the subsequent Contract Year.  After the two (2) month period, Seller shall pay Buyer the balance due on any such credit by check or by other mutually agreeable means within thirty (30) days.  At the end of the Term, Seller shall pay any credit owed Buyer within forty-five (45) days.

		
	2.2.2.
	Price Incentive.  If the annual average moisture content is * * * or less, rounded to the nearest one-tenth of a percentage point, Seller shall be entitled to a price incentive (on a dry ton basis) as follows:

	
		
	Moisture Content
	Price Incentive

	* * *
	* * *

	* * *
	* * *

	* * *
	* * *

	* * *
	* * *

	* * *
	* * *

Any incentive balance owed to Seller at the completion of a Contract Year shall be added to the first invoice of the subsequent Contract Year.  If the amount of the annual incentive exceeds the amount owed by Buyer to Seller at the end of the Term, Buyer shall pay the difference to Seller within forty-five (45) days.  
		
	3.
	Non-Complying Gypsum.

		
	3.1.
	Rejection Prior to Delivery.  Prior to taking delivery of gypsum, Buyer may reject or accept, in its sole discretion, any gypsum that fails to meet one or more of the specifications in Exhibit A (“Non-Complying Gypsum”) offered to it by Seller.  If Buyer accepts the Non-Complying Gypsum, the Parties shall mutually agree in writing on price and delivery terms 

and such Non-Complying Gypsum will be included in the total tonnage delivered during such applicable Contract Year.
		
	3.2.
	Rejection After Delivery.  If Buyer believes it has taken delivery to its barge staging area of what it believes is Non-Complying Gypsum, then within ten (10) days after such delivery the Parties shall commence and follow the procedures set forth on Exhibit B.   

		
	4.
	Delivery.

		
	4.1.
	Delivery by Barge.  Seller will deliver Complying Gypsum by loading it onto Buyer’s open-hopper barges at the Zimmer Station harbor.  A belt scale at Zimmer Station will weigh the gypsum immediately prior to loading on the open-hopper barges.  Seller will test and calibrate the belt scale at least once a month in accordance with the National Institute of Standards and Technology Handbook 44 for belt scales.  Buyer shall have the right to observe the weighing of gypsum, and the testing and calibration of the belt scale.  Seller shall provide advance notice, upon request, to Buyer of the time and date of the belt scale calibration.  In the event that calibration shows the scale used to weigh gypsum to be inaccurate by more than plus or minus one half of one percent (.5%), the inaccuracy shall be presumed to have existed for one-half the number of days since the last time the scale was calibrated, and an adjustment shall be made to the next invoice to reflect the adjustment debit or credit.  Seller shall provide the results of each calibration on the next invoice sent to Buyer.  During any period when Seller’s belt scale is inoperable, the Parties shall mutually agree to a procedure for determining the quantity of the gypsum delivered.

		
	4.2.
	Buyer’s Barges.  All of Buyer’s barges entering the Zimmer Station harbor shall be seaworthy, in good operating condition and repair, and in compliance with all Applicable Laws.  The maximum number of barges which Buyer may bring to the Zimmer Station for loading in any 24-hour period is * * *.  Seller will maintain the Zimmer Station harbor to accommodate at least * * *.  When Seller dredges the Zimmer Station harbor in the normal course of maintaining it, Seller will dredge to a depth to accommodate deep draft barges.  Seller may reject any barges that contain free water in the cargo hold and will give Buyer customary notice of such rejection.  Seller shall give Buyer customary notice of the number of barges Seller expects will be required to remove gypsum the following day.  In accordance with such notice, Buyer must provide a sufficient number of barges to transport all of the gypsum delivered under this Contract on a timely basis.  Seller shall provide space at the Zimmer Station harbor for * * * deep draft barges at any time.

		
	4.3.
	Non-Complying Gypsum.  If Buyer elects to purchase and take Non-Complying Gypsum, Seller will deliver the Non-Complying Gypsum to Buyer by the same methods and under the same terms and conditions for loading Complying Gypsum.

	Scheduling.  Buyer will be responsible for all carrier scheduling and logistics including costs and contracting arrangements.  Seller shall give notice to Buyer that loading of a barge is complete in the manner customarily given by the Zimmer Station harbor.

		
	4.5.
	Title and Risk of Loss.  At the completion of loading each barge at the Zimmer Station harbor or facility respectively, title to and the risk of loss of the loaded gypsum will pass from Seller to Buyer.

		
	4.6.
	Motor Carriers and Barge Operators.  The only persons permitted to access the Zimmer Station by or on behalf of Buyer under this Contract are motor carriers and barge operators, provided that Buyer shall deliver to Seller for Seller’s approval a written list of motor carriers and barge operators that Buyer proposes to engage or use in the performance of the transportation of gypsum before any such person accesses the Zimmer Station, and Seller shall have the right to approve or reject each proposed motor carrier or barge operator.  Buyer shall ensure that each motor carrier or barge operator (i) holds all required permits with all applicable governmental authorities, (ii) is qualified and competent to transport gypsum, (iii) 

holds all insurance required under Section 19 and by Applicable Laws, (iv) conducts the hauling of all gypsum under this Contract in such a manner as required to prevent any material amounts of gypsum from being blown or falling off its vehicle or barge, as applicable, during transportation or becoming an environmental nuisance or source of complaint, and (v) has a copy of the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the gypsum being transported available in its vehicle or barge transporting such gypsum.  Buyer shall promptly remove any personnel of any Buyer Party at the Zimmer Station if, in Seller’s commercially reasonable judgment it is desirable (including any personnel who, in Seller’s commercially reasonable judgment, is unsafe, incompetent, careless, unqualified to perform the work assigned to such person, creates an unsafe or hostile work environment, disregards the terms and conditions of this Contract, or is interrupting, interfering with or impeding the timely and proper completion of the work), and SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO BUYER AND BUYER AGREES, WITHOUT LIMIT AND AT ITS OWN COST, TO RELEASE, DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD THE SELLER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES HARMLESS FOR, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM ANY SUCH REMOVAL OTHER THAN ANY REMOVAL BY SELLER THAT IS ULTIMATELY DETERMINED TO BE FOR A REASON THAT IS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  Buyer shall be responsible for observance by all barge operators and motor carriers of all the provisions of this Contract applicable to such barge operator’s or motor carrier’s performance, and Buyer shall be fully responsible to Seller for the acts or omissions of any barge operator or motor carrier as if Buyer itself had acted or failed to act.
		
	4.7.
	Safety at the Zimmer Station.  Seller is concerned with the safety of all persons on its property, and imposes certain reasonable restrictions in an attempt to insure their safety.  Buyer shall have a safety program that complies with all Applicable Laws, industry standards and Seller’s health, safety and environmental rules, regulations and policies in effect at any given time at the Zimmer Station (“Seller’s Policies”).  In recognition of these concerns, Seller requires that Buyer or any persons or entities acting by, through or under Buyer (including barge operators or motor carriers) comply with any and all policies, directions and safety requirements or instructions, whether verbal, written, or otherwise, while at the Zimmer Station, as communicated to Buyer by Seller, directly or indirectly, including Seller’s Policies.  BUYER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS THE SELLER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR RESULTING FROM THE FAILURE OF BUYER OR ANY PERSONS ACTING BY, THROUGH OR UNDER BUYER (INCLUDING BARGE OPERATORS OR MOTOR CARRIERS) TO COMPLY WITH ANY AND ALL POLICIES, DIRECTIONS AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS OR INSTRUCTIONS, WHETHER VERBAL, WRITTEN, OR OTHERWISE (INCLUDING SELLER’S POLICIES), WHILE AT THE ZIMMER STATION.

		
	4.8.
	Use of Zimmer Station.  Buyer shall cause all barge operators and motor carriers to confine their materials and equipment and the operations of its personnel at the Zimmer Station to the limits indicated by Seller, and to not unreasonably encumber the Zimmer Station.  Buyer shall cause all barge operators and motor carriers to remove all rubbish and waste material from the Zimmer Station caused by such barge operators or motor carriers or an operation under their charge.  Buyer shall cause all barge operators and motor carriers to promptly remove all equipment from the Zimmer Station and clean up its refuse and debris upon completion of the loading of each shipment of Gypsum.  Buyer shall promptly repair at its expense any damage to any of Seller’s real or personal property (including the Zimmer Station) caused by any Buyer Party.

The Indemnifying Party may settle the claim without the consent or agreement of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement (i) would result in injunctive relief or other equitable remedies or otherwise require the Indemnified Party to comply with restrictions or limitations that adversely affect the Indemnified Party, (ii) would require the Indemnified Party to pay amounts that the Indemnifying Party does not fund in full, or (iii) would not result in the Indemnified Party’s full and complete release from all liability to the plaintiffs or claimants who are parties to or otherwise bound by the settlement.

		
	13.5.
	Enforceability.  In the event that any indemnity provisions hereunder are contrary to Applicable Law, then the indemnity obligations applicable hereunder shall be applied to the maximum extent allowed by Applicable Law.  The indemnity, defense and hold harmless 

obligations for personal injury or death or property damage under this Contract shall apply regardless of whether the Indemnified Party was concurrently negligent (whether actively or passively), it being agreed by the Parties that in this event, the Parties’ respective liability or responsibility for such damages, losses, costs and expenses under this Section 13 shall be determined in accordance with principles of comparative negligence.

Exhibit B

		
	1.
	Buyer shall provide Seller no less than 48 hours’ notice of its intent to re-sample the delivery and an opportunity to witness the same.  

		
	2.
	Buyer’s sampling shall be performed in accordance with the following:  Buyer shall take six samples, each taken equal distance the length of the applicable barge, within a central rectangle holding a minimum of 5’ from barge edges and bottom of the barge, and each sample collected should be no less than one (1) foot from the upper crust (see demonstrative sketch attached as Exhibit B).  

		
	3.
	Each sample will be split into 3, one for the Buyer, one for the Seller and one for a 3rd party tester.

		
	4.
	Each sample should be tested separately and results reported as such.  If Seller is unable to witness such sampling, Buyer shall provide Seller with the split samples.

		
	5.
	In the case of TDS readings, if two or more of the six samples measured by Buyer and two or more of the six samples measured by Seller are * * * the gypsum in the barge will be treated as Non-Complying Gypsum and will be accepted by Buyer at the agreed price for Non-Complying Gypsum and the tonnage will be counted in the total tonnage delivered during the applicable Contract Year.

		
	6.
	In the case of TDS readings, if two or more of the six samples taken are * * *, then Seller may either (i) offer the barge at no charge, or (ii) remove the Non-Complying Gypsum from the Buyer Plant at Seller’s cost. If the barge is offered at no charge and accepted by Buyer, the tons will be counted towards the total tonnage delivered during the applicable Contract Year.

		
	7.
	For all other items, if two or more of the six samples measured by Buyer and two or more of the six samples measured by Seller are out of specification then Seller shall have the right to (i) propose a price adjustment or alternative solution or (ii) remove the Non-Complying Gypsum from the Buyer Plant at Seller’s cost. If Seller neither proposes a price adjustment nor removes the Non-Complying Gypsum, then Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any per ton removal costs and increased production costs incurred by Buyer, provided that such reimbursement shall never exceed two times the Base Contract Price per ton then in effect under the Miami Fort Contract.  The Non-Complying Gypsum will not count towards the total tonnage delivered during the applicable Contract Year unless agreed upon as part of a price adjustment or alternative solution.

		
	8.
	If Seller tests the gypsum and the results do not agree with Buyer’s results, the Parties shall agree on an independent third party testing to perform testing on the spilt sample to determine if the gypsum was Complying Gypsum or Non-Complying Gypsum at the time the specifications were determined pursuant to the sampling provisions of Exhibit A, the costs of which shall be split by the Parties, and the results of which shall be binding on the Parties

		
	9.
	For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall have no right to reject any gypsum more than ten (10) days after Buyer has received the barge at its barge staging area.
