Craig,
Attached please find a revised draft of the Ormet Contract. I have
incorporated the language from the Credit Worksheet prepared by Jason
Williams. That language is included in Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of the Contract
and in the definitions for Material Adverse Change, Guarantor, Funded Debt,
Current Ratio, and Net Worth.
Regarding Amy Baird's memo, I have made the requested changes in Article 3
of the Contract regarding changing "Schedule" and "Scheduled" to "deliver"
and "delivered" and "receive" and "received". I did not add the language
requested in (iii) because that language is already included in the
definition of "Replacement Price Differential". I included the language she
requested under (iv) as (iii) in Section 3.2 I omitted the last sentence
relating to consequential damages of $1,000,000 per occurrence as we
discussed and left in the language in Section 8.3 which limits the
consequential damages to a maximum of $1,000,000 during the term of the
Agreement. Likewise, I did not delete the language from Section 8.3
providing that the gas is being supplied solely on the express
representations and warranties provided in the Agreement and that all other
warranties are being waived. I did delete the language relating to Texas law
and sentence starting with "Therefore, the Parties agree that (i) three"
because we had agreed to delete the language from Section 4.1 which set forth
the method of determining a party's liquidated damages.
I added a sentence at the end of Section 8.5 relating to trial before the
court with waiver of right to jury trial. I deleted the language relating to
arbitration in Appendix 1.
As we discussed, I did not make the change to force majeure. We need to
discuss this. Our obligation should be limited to having firm transportation
on one of the pipelines with interruptible transportation on the other. If
the firm transportation is interrupted because of force majeure, our
obligation should be limited to using commercially reasonable efforts to
cause the volumes to be delivered via the other pipeline if there was
available capacity on such other pipeline.
Please review the contract and if you agree that it represents your
understanding, you may forward it to the folks at Ormet. I will be out of
the office on Monday, but will be available by phone.
