5.8 Additional volumes arising from Capacity expansions

Both parties will try to resolve any isoprene imbalances in mutual agreement which arise from additional isoprene capability to produce by Seller above annual agreed volumes, debottleneckings and capacity expansions or which arise from changes in requirements of Buyer.

Prior to those additional productions commence. If Xxxxx is unable to take those additional volumes Seller will have a right to place those volumes in the merchant market unless Buyer will compensate Seller for opportunity loss. In case Seller sells these isoprene volumes in the merchant market at a lower price than the price charged to Buyer in the period, then Seller will sell an equivalent quality of isoprene at the same price to Buyer. This is not valid in the case of off spec isoprene or if Xxxxx does not fulfill the agreed annual planned volume.

6. SHIPMENTS. With Xxxxx’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, Seller will select the origin of shipment and the carrier. The quantity of all bulk rail and truck shipments will be determined by Seller by outage tables with corrections for temperature or by weighmaster’s certificate as appropriate and Seller’s quantity determination will govern. Buyer will promptly unload each shipment at its own risk and expense, including any demurrage or detention charges.

6.1. SUPPLIER MANAGED INVENTORY AGREEMENT FOR ISOPRENE, hereinafter referred to as “Consigned Product”.

A. SHIPMENTS - TITLE. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Contract to the contrary, shipments of Consigned Product will be made by Seller on consignment into Buyer’s storage at its facilities at Belpre, Ohio and Seller’s quantity determination will govern unless proven in error. Should the quantity determination by Buyer after receipt differ by an amount greater than one-half of one percent (0.5%) versus the quantity indicated on Seller’s bill of lading, it is Buyer’s responsibility to petition Seller for adjustment in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt. Buyer will ensure the prompt unloading of each shipment of Consigned Product and will be responsible for any demurrage or detention charges. Seller will retain title to all Consigned Product until any of the following occurs, at which time Buyer will be deemed to have purchased the Consigned Product involved:

1. Buyer withdraws it from storage;

2. the Consigned Product is lost, destroyed or damaged for any cause while in Xxxxx’s custody, regardless of fault, effective the date of such loss, destruction or damage; or

3. a period of 120 consecutive days elapses during which no withdrawals of Consigned Product are made by Buyer (in which case all remaining Consigned Product in storage at Buyer’s location will be deemed purchased by Buyer).

Seller agrees to maintain a minimum [***] [Confidential Treatment Required] Consigned Product as “Safety Stock” Seller and Buyer will meet twice a year to discuss the Supplier’s performance of the Supplier Managed Inventory Program (SMI).

Decisions to increase or decrease the safety stock volume requirement will not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The actual stock level can fall below the agreed safety stock level, provided an urgent plan is in place to bring the inventory to a volume above the safety stock level.

Xxxxx agrees that all costs of maintaining and protecting Consigned Product in Buyer’s storage facilities, including but not limited to insurance, handling and storage, will be borne by Buyer, and that Consigned Product will be adequately insured against theft, fire or other loss or damage with Seller named as an additional insured in the appropriate policies.

Xxxxx is responsible for keeping XXXXX accurate by recording complete information as to all receipts, withdrawals and handling of Consigned Product. Buyer will provide a physical inventory quantity on a monthly basis and record in SIMON. Since XXXXX data will also serve as the basis for invoice quantities (i.e., the quantity that the Buyer is obligated to pay upon), Seller will maintain the responsibility of verifying the inventory activity and will notify Buyer of exceptions or rejection of data reported on the “Reconciliation” screen no later than the following working day, following the Month End Accounting Closing Date, defined as the last day of each calendar month. Upon prior reasonable notice, Seller will have the right to verify SIMON data at any time during Buyer’s normal business hours by physical inspection of Buyer’s Consigned Product inventory or to require any or all of Buyer’s monthly reports to be certified by a responsible officer of Buyer.

E. PAYMENT - TERMS. Payment is due in Seller’s bank or financial institution via EFT-CTX (Electronic Funds Transfer or Drafting) [***] [Confidential Treatment Required] from Month End Accounting Closing Date. Any quantity of Consigned Product in Xxxxx’s custody at termination of this Contract which has not previously been purchased by Buyer will be considered to have been purchased by Buyer at the price then in effect on that termination date except where Seller elects to have the Consigned Product returned to it, having Buyer load the same into railcar or truck at Buyer’s facilities at Buyer’s expense. Seller will bear the transportation costs for any such returned Consigned Product from Buyer’s facility to Seller’s destination.
