ETCo must purchase all volumes of Products included in the MPF. Frontier will also provide an estimate for informational purposes only of the Products to be produced for the two months following the MPF month. (b) If Frontier exceeds the MPF by more than three percent in three consecutive months, the parties shall need to discuss the inaccuracy of the forecasts. Where the actual production exceeds the MPF for three consecutive months by three percent, for each consecutive month following such three month period, Frontier shall pay ETCo five cents per barrel for every barrel produced in excess of the MPF. (c) Any known planned outage at the Refinery shall be reported by Frontier within ninety (90) days prior to the month of activity.

(d) Subject to the provisions of Sections 4(c) and 13 hereof, if Frontier is unable to deliver the volumes for each Product in the MPF from its production volume at the Refinery, Frontier may elect to purchase additional product and deliver same to ETCo to cover any shortfall of production. If Frontier fails to deliver the MPF volumes (through its production or third party purchases), ETCo will be entitled to purchase the deficient volumes at market-based prices and to deduct the actual value from the formula value specified on that Product Schedule, and debit or credit the difference to Frontier. (e) Products shall be delivered to the pipeline, rack, and terminal locations as specified in each Schedule.
