ARTICLE III: XXXXXXXX' PERFORMANCE
3.1 Except as set forth in Section 3.2 and subject to the other terms of
this Agreement, Xxxxxxxx hereby commits for fractionation hereunder and
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Delivery Point the Raw
Product which it owns and/or controls and which is delivered to the
Pipeline(s) from the sources listed in Exhibit "A". Xxxxxxxx further
agrees that if at any time beginning January 1, 2000, and at any time
* thereafter, it has delivered less than [REDACTED] of the Fractionation
Volume Reservation based on the Daily average volume for the preceding
ninety (90) Days, then it will commit for fractionation hereunder and
will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Delivery Point during such
time period as necessary to enable Xxxxxxxx to meet the Fractionation
Volume Reservation, additional uncommitted volumes of Raw Product
which Xxxxxxxx owns or controls, if any, or may in the future have
available from sources that are not listed in Exhibit "A" and which
are delivered to any of the Mont Belvieu Fractionators (as defined
hereinafter). For the purpose of this Section 3.1, the term "Mont
Belvieu Fractionators" shall include all fractionation facilities
situated in or near Mont Belvieu,
Texas, and the fractionation
facilities currently owned by Xxxxxxxx Petroleum situated in Sweeney,
Texas, and by Mobil situated in Beaumont,

3.2 The following volumes of Raw Product shall be excepted from the
commitment set forth in Section 3.1 above.
(a) Raw Product produced from the gas plants listed in Exhibit "A"
and sold and delivered to local markets near such gas plants.
(b) Raw Product produced from the Xxxx and Xxxxxxx gas plants
which is currently or in the future may be dedicated to Amoco

termination and/or expiration of such Amoco Dedication, the
volumes of Raw Product produced from the Xxxx and Xxxxxxx gas
plants shall be subject to the committment set forth in
Section 3.1 above unless and/or until such Raw Product is
subsequently dedicated to Amoco.
(c) Any volumes in excess of the Fractionation Volume Reservation
which CBF has elected not to accept pursuant to Section 4.1.
CBF agrees to notify Xxxxxxxx as to its election whether it
will accept such excess volumes within fifteen (15) days
of its receipt of notification from Xxxxxxxx as to the
availability of such excess volumes.
(d) Any volumes dedicated for fractionation in the Fractionator in
accordance with that certain "Option to Acquire Interest in
Cedar Bayou Fractionators, L.P." dated of even date herewith
between Xxxxxxxx Field Services Company and Dynegy Midstream
Services, Limited Partnership.
3.3 Xxxxxxxx shall direct Pipeline to prepare and furnish to CBF and CBF
shall prepare or cause to be prepared during each Month, an allocation
of ownership of the Pipeline's commingled Raw Product, by Components
actually delivered to CBF. Xxxxxxxx and CBF shall accept and rely on
such allocation, unless contested as described in Section 11.4.
3.4 Prior to the beginning of each Month, CBF will estimate the volumes of
Specification Products for which disposition instructions will be
required from Xxxxxxxx. Subject to Section 4.3 below, such estimates
will be established by utilizing the actual volumes of Raw Product
delivered to the Fractionation Facility during the most recent Month
for which actual volumes are available and adjusting for anticipated
variances as may be advised by Xxxxxxxx from time to time. As set forth
in Article X of this Agreement, CBF shall reconcile Monthly statements
detailing Xxxxxxxx' Specification Product movement no later than the
last Day of each succeeding Month following the Month in question.
3.5 Xxxxxxxx acknowledges that it is procuring the fractionation services

fractionation services and agrees not to resell such services on a
stand-alone basis. Reselling of said fractionation services shall mean
Xxxxxxxx' transactions involving the purchase or exchange of Raw
Product for fractionation at the Fractionator with the intent of
profiting on such purchase or exchange/fractionation transactions
based in whole or in substantial part on the difference between the
fractionation fee defined or implied in such third party purchase or
exchange agreement and the fractionation fee charged to Xxxxxxxx under
this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.5 to the
contrary, Xxxxxxxx may include fractionation service under this
Agreement in combination with other services which rely extensively on
the Mid-America Pipeline System, the Seminole Pipeline or the West
Texas LPG Pipeline.

'Confidential Treatment Requested'
ARTICLE IV: CBF'S PERFORMANCE
4.1 CBF shall accept delivery of and provide fractionation for a maximum
volume of Raw Product committed by Xxxxxxxx hereunder equal to the
Fractionation Volume Reservation. The intial Fractionation Volume
Reservation shall be 35,000 Barrels per Day as determined on a Monthly
Daily average basis. Volumes above the Fractionation Volume Reservation
will be accepted by CBF for fractionation on a space available basis.
4.2 Xxxxxxxx may increase the Fractionation Volume Reservation set forth in
* Section 4.1 in increments of [REDACTED] Barrels per Day up to a maximum
* of [REDACTED] Barrels per Day by giving at least ninety (90) Days prior
written notice to CBF of its election to increase same. It is
understood and agreed that (i) there Must be at least ninety (90) Days
between successive notification dates and (ii) the Fractionation Volume
Reservation may only be exercised once during each ninety (90) Day
Period. Subsequent to January 1, 2000, Dynegy may decrease the
* Fractionation Volume Reservation to [REDACTED] of the Daily average
volume of Raw Product deliveries from Xxxxxxxx at the Delivery Point
for the preceding 90 days (excluding deliveries during the Month of
September, 1999) if (i) the Sources listed in Exhibit "A" have operated
at expected capacity in full ethane recovery mode for the preceding 90
days and (ii) the Daily average volume of Raw Product deliveries from
Xxxxxxxx at the Delivery Point for the preceding 90 days is less than
* [REDACTED] of the Fractionation Volume Reservation.
4.3 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, during each
Month that Xxxxxxxx delivers Raw Product at the Delivery Point, CBF
shall re-deliver Specification Products ratably during that Month to
Xxxxxxxx (or its designee) at the Redelivery Point or at other
mutually-agreed locations. For purposes of this provision, CBF will
deem that the total volume of Xxxxxxxx Raw Product which has been
nominated for delivery at the Delivery Point during a Month has
actually been delivered ratably throughout that Month so long as at
* least [REDACTED] of such Xxxxxxxx-nominated volume has actually been
delivered at the Delivery Point before the twenty-first (21st) day of
that Month. If the Raw Product Volumes delivered by Xxxxxxxx by the
twenty-first (21st) day of such Month are less than the volumes of
Raw Product nominated by Xxxxxxxx for delivery during such Month, with
the result that there is an imbalance between the volume of Xxxxxxxx'
Raw Product deliveries at the Delivery Point and CBF's deliveries of
Specification Products to Xxxxxxxx (determined in accordance with
Section 4.5 below), CBF shall make ratable returns of Specification
* Products to Xxxxxxxx in the ratio of [[REDACTED] Specification Products
* to Xxxxxxxx] to [[REDACTED] of the Raw Products delivered by Xxxxxxxx
during the remainder of that Month and in the immediately succeeding
Months, as necessary] until any such imbalance is eliminated.
4.4 CBF shall not hold back Specification Products from Xxxxxxxx as a
minimum inventory requirement. However, CBF shall have the right to
allocate the distribution of Specification Products due Xxxxxxxx and
other customers during normal scheduled CBF
6
fractionation plant turn-arounds which shall not exceed a total of
seven (7) Days per Year. The foregoing shall not apply during periods
of force majeure, as defined hereinafter.
4.5 The quantity of the five (5) Specification Products due Xxxxxxxx will
be as follows, based on the Pipelines' reported volumes of each
Component which have been delivered for Xxxxxxxx' account:
(1) E/P MIX (80/20): the volume will be equal to (a) 100% of the
ethane Component plus methane Component up to 1.5 liquid
volume percent of the ethane Component, (b) plus
propane Component equal to 25% of the volume in (a) above.
(2) PROPANE: the volume will be equal to 100% of the propane
Component minus the propane included in the EP Mix.
(3) ISOBUTANE: the volume will be equal to 100% of the
isobutane Component.
(4) NORMAL BUTANE: the volume will be equal to 100% of the normal
butane Component.
(5) NATURAL GASOLINE: the volume will be equal to 100% of the
isopentane and heavier Components.
ARTICLE V: TRANSFER OF CUSTODY
5.1 Xxxxxxxx warrants that it has the right to cause the Raw Product to be
fractionated hereunder. Custody of the Raw Product shall transfer to
CBF at the Delivery Point, subject to Xxxxxxxx' right to receive
allocated volumes of Specification Products as provided in Section 4.3
above. Subject to the foregoing, custody of Specification Products
shall be delivered to Xxxxxxxx or its designee at the points more
particularly described in Section 8.1(2) hereinafter.
5.2 It is understood and agreed that (i) title to the Raw Product and the
Specification Product(s) recovered therefrom and stored hereunder
pursuant to the provisions of Article VIII hereof shall remain in
Xxxxxxxx, subject to being commingled with like Raw Product and
Specification Product(s) in CBF's and/or Dynegy's custody, , which
Xxxxxxxx hereby grants unto CBF the right to do so, and (ii)
Specification Product(s) redelivered to Xxxxxxxx by CBF will be
redelivered from such commingled pool of Specification Products. With
respect to the Specification Product(s) stored hereunder pursuant to
the provisions of Article VIII hereof, it is specifically agreed as
follows:
(a) In the event there should be any loss of Specification
Product(s) from the Storage Facility, excluding normal
operating losses, and such loss is not attributable to the
7
'Confidential Treatment Requested'
failure of CBF or its agent or representative to exercise that
degree of care as would be exercised by a reasonably careful
Person under like circumstances, then Xxxxxxxx shall be
prorated a portion of the remaining product by Dynegy on the
basis of the ratio of Xxxxxxxx' stored Specification
Product(s) to the total volumes of like stored
Specification Product(s) in such Facility, including, without
limitation, those volumes owned by Xxxxxxxx, CBF and Dynegy.
(b) In the event there should be a loss of William's Specification
Products excluding normal operating losses, and it is
ultimately determined that such loss was attributable to CBF's
or its agent's or representative's failure to exercise that
degree of care as would be exercised by a reasonably careful
Person under like circumstances, then, it is agreed that CBF
shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to replace
Xxxxxxxx' lost volumes as soon as reasonably possible with
like Specification Product(s) or to pay Xxxxxxxx the
replacement value of such lost specification Product(s) at the
time of the loss based on the Monthly average of the daily
high and low prices for such Specification Products as quoted
by OPIS for Mont Belvieu during the Month in which such loss
occured.
ARTICLE VI: MEASUREMENT
6.1 Volumes of Raw Product delivered at the Delivery Point shall be
measured and calculated in accordance with the delivering Pipeline
measurement procedures in effect for the Delivery Point.
6.2 Volumes of Specification Products delivered by CBF to Xxxxxxxx in
accordance with Article IV, shall be measured and calculated in
accordance with CBF's standard measurement procedures at Mont Belvieu
which shall conform to good measurement practices in the industry and
the then Current API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards
ARTICLE VII: COMPENSATION TO CBF
7.1 Subject to Article VIII, as full consideration for the fractionation
services provided hereunder, Xxxxxxxx shall pay to CBF a fractionation
fee ("Fractionation Fee") for each Gallon of Raw Product delivered at
the Delivery Point by, or on behalf of, Xxxxxxxx to CBF each Month.
Effective October 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999, the Fractionation
* Fee shall be fixed at [REDACTED] per Gallon. Beginning January 1, 2000,
the Fractionation Fee shall be determined on a calendar quarter basis
by the following formulas determined as of the first Day of such
calendar quarter:
* Fractionation Fee = [REDACTED]
Where:
8
'Confidential Treatment Requested'
Fractionation Fee = the fee charged for fractionation
during such calendar quarter.
Fuel = The fuel cost (in $/MMBtu) equivalent to the average
Houston Ship Channel Index of INSIDE FERC'S GAS
MARKET REPORT for natural gas (large packages) for
the proceding calendar quarter.
Elec = The combined average actual cost of purchased
electricity (In CENTS/KWH) at the Fractionator for
the preceding calendar quarter.
CPIU = Consumer Price Index. All Urban Consumers --
("CPI-U"), U.S. city average, All items, for the last
Month of the preceding calendar quarter, as published
by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (the
"BLS") or any successor agency thereto (the "CPI-U
Index"). The CPI-U Index shall be taken from the data
published by the BLS, as of the date hereof,
electronically at the following Internet address:
xxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/xxx/xxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx/xxx/xxxxx.xxx,
or at any successor Internet address or as same is
published in hardcopy form.
7.2 During any calendar quarter in which Xxxxxxxx has elected to provide
Fuel pursuant to Article VIII, the Fractionation Fee shall be computed
the same as in Section 7.1, except that the value of "Fuel" in the
formula shall be zero (0).
7.3 During any calendar quarter in which Xxxxxxxx has elected to provide
electrical power pursuant to Article VIII, the Fractionation Fee shall
be computed the same as in Section 7.1, except that the value of
"Elec" in the formula shall be zero (0).
7.4 CBF will provide Xxxxxxxx an E/P Mix as described in Section 4.6 but
will insure Xxxxxxxx will not suffer devaluation of its ethane product
in the market by virtue of such ethane being delivered as E/P Mix
instead of purity ethane. Each calendar Month, a differential value
between purity ethane and E/P Mix shall be calculated by comparing (i)
* [REDACTED] as quoted by the Oil Price Information Service for Mont
* Belvieu during that Month to (ii), [REDACTED] as quoted by OPIS for
Mont Belvieu during that Month.
If the amount in (ii) above is greater than the amount in (i) above,
* then [REDACTED] Subject to the limitations set forth hereinafter, if
the amount in (i) above is greater than the amount in (ii) above,
* then [REDACTED] Xxxxxxxx shall not be required to
9
pay to CBF a larger cumulative amount under this Section 7.4 than
the cumulative amount paid by CBF to Xxxxxxxx. If at the time the
calculation set forth in this Section 7.4 reflects that the amount in
(i) above is greater than the amount in (ii) above and if the
cumulative amount paid by CBF to Xxxxxxxx under this Section 7.4
is less than or equal to the cumulative amount paid by Xxxxxxxx to
CBF, then the amount that would otherwise be payable by Xxxxxxxx to CBF
shall instead be accrued by CBF as a credit against future amounts
payable by CBF to Xxxxxxxx under this Section 7.4.

ARTICLE IX: FUEL AND ELECTRICITY SUPPLY OPTIONS
9.1 Xxxxxxxx may, on a calendar quarter basis, elect to supply the
volume of fuel gas required to fractionate its Raw Product by giving
CBF thirty (30) Days prior written notice of such election ("Fuel
Gas Supply Option").
9.2 If Xxxxxxxx elects to exercise its Fuel Gas Supply Option, Xxxxxxxx
* shall supply to CBF, at Mont Belvieu, [REDACTED] Btus of fuel gas for
each Gallon of Raw Product delivered to CBF by Xxxxxxxx hereunder.

Supply Option, an estimated fuel supply requirement will be
determined by multiplying the estimated number of Gallons that
* Xxxxxxxx will deliver to CBF during said Month by [REDACTED] Btu's
per Gallon. CBF shall maintain an imbalance account to keep track of
under and over deliveries of fuel gas by Xxxxxxxx. The Month-end
balance in such imbalance account shall be cleared by (1) a cash
payment to CBF by Xxxxxxxx if Xxxxxxxx has, in the aggregate,
under-delivered fuel gas relative to its actual fuel gas requirements
for such Month or (2) a cash payment to Xxxxxxxx by CBF if Xxxxxxxx
has, in the aggregate, over-delivered fuel gas relative to its actual
fuel gas requirements for such Month. Such payment shall be calculated
by multiplying the total quantity of such imbalance times the Houston
Ship Channel Index for large packages (in $/MMBtu) for such Month as
published in INSIDE F.E.R.C.'S GAS MARKET REPORT.
9.4 If, and to the extent that, CBF incurs any transportation charges or
penalties from any natural gas transporter as a result of over- or
under-deliveries by Xxxxxxxx of fuel gas to such transporter
relative to Xxxxxxxx'x estimate of its fuel gas requirements for
such Month, CBF shall xxxx Xxxxxxxx for such charges or penalties on

electrical power required to fractionate its Raw Product by giving
CBF thirty (30) Days' prior written notice of such election

Supply Option shall only become available and be implemented through
mutually
13
'Confidential Treatment Requested'
agreeable procedures negotiated in good faith by the Parties after
there is an industry mechanism in place to allow for same.
9.6 If Xxxxxxxx elects to exercise its Electricity Supply Option,

production, ownership or transfer of the Raw Products or the
Specification Products or the services provided by CBF hereunder,
including but not limited to any tax applicable to stored volumes of

such tax is by law imposed upon CBF, in which event, such tax shall
be paid by CBF and reimbursed by Xxxxxxxx upon receipt of invoice
for same. Xxxxxxxx shall indemnify and hold CBF and their respective
Affiliate's directors, officers, agents and employees harmless from

11.2 CBF shall furnish each Month for the preceding Month, the following
reports to Xxxxxxxx: (i) volumes of Xxxxxxxx' Specification Products
attributable to the Raw Product delivered to CBF each Month, in
accordance with the reconciliation described in Section 3.4; (ii)

reconcile volume balances and amounts owed. As CBF completes each
Month's reconciliation, a copy of the reconciliation shall be sent
to Xxxxxxxx but no later than the last Day of the Month succeeding
the Month in question. The intent of the parties is that any
imbalances between volumes of Raw Product delivered at the Delivery
Point by Xxxxxxxx and volumes of Specification Products delivered by
CBF to Xxxxxxxx at the Redelivery Point (as any such imbalances are
determined in accordance with Section 4.5) shall be resolved on a
volumetric basis as set forth in Section 4.3. No monetary resolution

reconciliation reports, or balancing reports, during any calendar
Year shall conclusively be presumed to be true and correct after
twenty-four (24) Months following the end of any such calendar
Year, unless within the said twenty-four (24) Month period the other
Party takes written exception thereto and makes claim on the Party
issuing the invoice, statement or report for adjustment.
11.5 Xxxxxxxx, upon at least thirty (30) Days prior written notice to
CBF, shall have the right to audit CBF's records pertaining to
performance under this Agreement, for any calendar Year within the
twenty-four (24) Month period following the end of such calendar
Year; provided, however, the making of an audit shall not extend
the time for the taking of written exception to and the adjustments
provided for in Section 11.4. Xxxxxxxx shall make every reasonable
effort to conduct an audit in a manner which will result in a
minimum of inconvenience to CBF. CBF shall reply in writing to an
audit report within ninety (90) Days after receipt of such report.
11.6 CBF shall retain all financial and volume records for a minimum of
thirty-six (36) Months following the end of any calendar Year.

invoice reflecting all applicable fees and charges due under this
Agreement and Xxxxxxxx shall pay to CBF via electronic funds
transfer the amounts due no later than ten (10) Days after Xxxxxxxx'
receipt of invoice. If the Day on which any payment is due is not a
Business Day, then the relevant payment shall be due upon the
immediately succeeding Business Day. Any amounts which remain due
and owing after the due date shall bear interest thereon at the Base
Rate. If a good faith dispute arises as to the amount payable in any
statement, the amount not in dispute shall be paid. If Xxxxxxxx
elects to withhold any payment otherwise due as a consequence of a
good faith dispute, Xxxxxxxx shall provide CBF with written notice
of its reasons for withholding payment and, if the amount of such
invoice is equal to or greater than ten thousand dollars ($10,000)
or the total aggregate amount of all invoices
15
in which Xxxxxxxx has withheld payment and is outstanding at any
time is greater than or equal to fifty thousand dollars ($50,000).
Xxxxxxxx shall simultaneously place the disputed amount into an
escrow account at a mutually acceptable commercial bank, pending
resolution of the dispute. Xxxxxxxx' election to withhold payment
from CBF and escrow same as provided herein shall be exercised
within thirty (30) Days from Xxxxxxxx' receipt of the invoice giving
rise to such good faith dispute, otherwise, Xxxxxxxx' right to
withhold payment and escrow same as provided herein shall terminate.
If it is subsequently determined, whether by mutual agreement of the
Parties or otherwise, that (i) Xxxxxxxx is required to pay all or
any portion of the disputed amounts to CBF or (ii) Xxxxxxxx is
entitled to reimbursement for an invoice it paid, in addition to
paying such amounts, the Party making such payment also shall pay
interest accrued on such amounts at the Base Rate from (1) the
original due date until paid in full, if Xxxxxxxx is required to pay,
or (2) the date Xxxxxxxx paid the disputed invoice, until paid in
full, if CBF is required to pay.
ARTICLE XIII: FORCE MAJEURE
13.1 In the event either Party hereto is rendered unable, wholly or in
part, by reason of Force Majeure to carry out its obligations under
this Agreement, upon such Party's giving notice and reasonably full
particulars of such Force Majeure in writing to the other Party
after the occurrence of the cause relied on, then the obligations of
such Party, other than the obligation to pay money due hereunder,
insofar and only insofar as they are affected by such Force Majeure,
shall be suspended during the continuance of any inability so caused,
but for no longer period; and such cause shall, so far as reasonably
possible, be remedied with all reasonable dispatch.
13.2 The term "Force Majeure" shall mean any causes, whether the kind
enumerated herein or otherwise, which are not within the control of
the Party claiming suspension and which by the exercise of due
diligence such Party is unable to prevent or overcome and may
include acts of God, strikes, lockouts or other industrial disputes
or disturbances, acts of the public enemy, wars, blockades,
insurrections, riots, epidemics, landslides, lightning, earthquakes,
fires, tornadoes, hurricanes, storms, and warnings for any of the
foregoing which may necessitate the precautionary shut-down of
xxxxx, plants, pipelines, gathering systems, loading facilities,
terminals, the Fractionator or any portion thereof, or other related
facilities, floods, washouts, arrests and restraints of governments
(either federal, state, civil or military), civil disturbances,
explosions, sabotage, breakage or accidents to equipment, machinery,
plants, the Fractionator or any portion thereof, or lines of pipe,
the lack or failure of brine or brine handling capacity, the making
of repairs or alterations to any of the foregoing, inability to
secure labor or materials, partial or entire failure of xxxxx or gas
supply, electric power shortages or outages, necessity for
compliance with any court order, or any law, statute, ordinance,
rule, regulation or order promulgated by a governmental authority
having or asserting jurisdiction, inclement weather that
necessitates extraordinary measures and expense to construct
facilities and/or maintain operations. Such term shall likewise
include, in those instances where either Party hereto
16
is required to obtain servitudes, rights-of-way, grants, permits or
licenses to enable such Party to fulfill its obligations hereunder,
the inability of such Party to acquire, or delays on the part of
such Party in acquiring, at a reasonable cost and after the
exercise of reasonable diligence, such servitudes, rights-of-way
grants, permits or licenses, and in those instances where either
Party hereto is required to furnish materials and supplies for the
purpose of constructing or maintaining facilities to enable such
Party to fulfill its obligations hereunder, the inability of such
Party to acquire, or delays on the part of such Party in acquiring,
at reasonable cost and after the exercise of reasonable diligence,
such materials and supplies. The term "Force Majeure" shall also
include any event of force majeure occurring with respect to the
facilities or services of either Party's suppliers or customers
providing a service or providing any equipment, goods, supplies or
other items necessary to the performance of such Party's
obligations, and shall also include curtailment or interruption of
deliveries or services by such third-party suppliers or customers as
a result of an event defined as Force Majeure hereunder.
13.3 Notwithstanding Section 12.1 above, it is understood and agreed that
the settlement of strikes or lockouts shall be entirely within the
discretion of the Party having the difficulty, and that the above
requirement that any Force Majeure shall be remedied with all
reasonable dispatch shall not require the settlement of strikes or
lockouts by acceding to the demands of the opposing Party when such
course is inadvisable in the discretion of the Party having the
difficulty.
13.4 During any period of force majeure claimed by CBF, Xxxxxxxx shall
have the right to make alternative arrangements for the
fractionation of Raw Product dedicated to CBF provided that, by so
doing, Xxxxxxxx shall not prejudice Xxxxxxxx' rights and obligations
after termination of such force majeure to resume fractionating such
Raw Product hereunder and shall not relieve CBF of any rights and
obligations to provide fractionation hereunder.
