ELECTRICITY MARKETING AGREEMENT FOR SUPPLY TO THE HIDRO NITRO ESPAÑOLA, S.A. FACILITY LOCATED IN POLÍGONO PAÚLES, MONZÓN (HUESCA)   Page 2 of 16    


As a result of the foregoing, the parties have entered this electricity marketing Agreement, which is governed by the following clauses:

CLAUSES

FIRST: PURPOSE OF THE AGREEMENT

By virtue of this electricity marketing Agreement, the Marketer undertakes to provide the Buyer, and the Buyer to purchase from the Marketer, all the electricity consumed from the distribution network in the HIDRO NITRO ESPAÑA, S.A. Facility in Monzón (Huesca).

To this end, the Buyer hereby undertakes and expressly authorizes to contract the acquisition of the energy consumed by the Facility through the Marketer.

The point of delivery or supply of electricity will correspond to the point where consumption measurement of the Facility is performed. The delivery of electricity will be deemed performed when it is made available to the Buyer in this point of supply.

SECOND. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SUPPLY AND ACCESS TREATMENT OF THIRD PARTIES TO THE NETWORK

The Buyer will define the supply voltage and the power contracted for the purposes of the access fee seven (7) days prior to the entry into force of this Agreement. However, the Buyer may make, occasionally, hourly and quarter-hourly consumptions exceeding the average defined electric power.

The Buyer shall contract access to the network directly with the Distributor, so the Marketer will not invoice any amounts relating to the Procurement of third-party access to the Networks.

THIRD. TURNOVER OF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLIED

3.1. Supply price

The amount to be invoiced for the energy supplied at power station busbars is obtained by applying a price formula indexed to the hourly price of the daily and intraday markets, in addition to the items that make up the final market price, as reflected in the special terms and conditions of Annex 2.

 

 

ELECTRICITY MARKETING AGREEMENT FOR SUPPLY TO THE HIDRO NITRO ESPAÑOLA, S.A. FACILITY LOCATED IN POLÍGONO PAÚLES, MONZÓN (HUESCA) Page 3 of 16    


  Hourly price of the daily market

The hourly Price of the daily market is defined as the marginal prices (one for each hour) of the Daily Market of Electricity Production in the Spanish system published by the Operator of the Iberian Energy Market - Polo Español, S.A. on the website / www.omel.com.

 

  Intraday market price

The Intraday market price is defined as the marginal prices (one for each hour) of the Intraday Market of Electricity Production corresponding to the action of the Client in the Spanish system published by the Operator of the Iberian Energy Market - Polo Español, S.A. on the website//www.omel.com.

 

  System Operator costs

The hourly costs of these items will be invoiced on an hourly basis, as published on the information systems website of the System Operator, Red Eléctrica de España (e-sios).

 

  Capacity-linked payments

Invoiced amounts will be in accordance with the regulations in force at that time.

 

  Losses

Invoiced amounts will be in accordance with the regulations in force at that time.

3.2. Service management costs

This item includes the following costs:

 

    Business Margin.

 

    Provision of services offered through a web application.

 

    Expenses incurred by the Marketer in guarantees and financial hedges.

The Marketer shall invoice the Buyer an amount for operating expenses for the net energy supplied (border point) as defined in the Special Conditions of the Agreement (Annex 2).

 

 

ELECTRICITY MARKETING AGREEMENT FOR SUPPLY TO THE HIDRO NITRO ESPAÑOLA, S.A. FACILITY LOCATED IN POLÍGONO PAÚLES, MONZÓN (HUESCA) Page 4 of 16    


3.3. Possibility to fix the supply price

The Buyer has the possibility to fix the price for the power by periods or blocks of energy as it wishes and for the period desired. To such end, a request shall be made with the power for which it wishes to fix the price (power for each period) and the Marketer shall quote a fixed price for each period taking into account the corresponding electricity markets for the energy, the period and the requested profile.

In the event that the Buyer does not consume a portion of the energy block closed at a fixed price, the Marketer shall only make one settlement for price differences between said fixed price and the average price recorded on the market during the period of application. Similarly, the managing cost of the contract set out in this clause will be invoiced for such a volume.

Annex 1 of this Agreement shows the model of supply agreement at a fixed price agreed by the Marketer and the Buyer.

3.4. Treatment of deviation screening

Average deviation is defined in a percentage (%) as the sum of the time difference in absolute value between the “Final Time Profile” and the Final consumption (measured in kWh) divided by the Final consumption (measured in kWh) for the month in question and will be referred to hereinafter as Deviation.

The price of energy in power station busbars will be increased by additional extra costs associated with the deviations mentioned in this paragraph. Such additional costs are stated in the Special Terms and Conditions of this Agreement (Annex 2).

The Marketer may offer the Client to request the programme at a maximum purchase price limit, as offered through the software application of the Marketer. Under this system, the Client would assume that such programme could have not been matched in the market and had to modify their consumption consequently. In this case, the cost of the potential deviation incurred by the Client if it does not change its consumption would be supported by the Client without screening.

Any corresponding Tax or Duty surcharge shall be applied to all these items.

3.5. Application of current taxes

The aforementioned invoice corresponding to the purchase of energy will include specifically the Special tax on Electricity, and the extra costs for using public roads (called Municipal Tax).

 

 

ELECTRICITY MARKETING AGREEMENT FOR SUPPLY TO THE HIDRO NITRO ESPAÑOLA, S.A. FACILITY LOCATED IN POLÍGONO PAÚLES, MONZÓN (HUESCA) Page 5 of 16    


3.6. Supply Prices Optimisation

By means of this Supply Price Optimisation procedure, the Daily Market Price will be adjusted according to the results obtained by the Marketer from the contracting of energy forward contracts on its own behalf and account. However, for contracting thereof, the energy supply to be delivered by the Marketer to the Client under these general Conditions shall be observed.

The Base Load Volume will be defined at each time, which will be a maximum of 50 MW.

The Marketer shall choose to contract “forwards” with the maximum deadline being 31 December 2011 and the minimum 1 day, giving prior notice of each of these operations to the Client.

Prior to being aware of the daily market price of the proposed product on any day in particular, the Client may oppose the operation that has been reported to be part of the Optimisation of the supply price, in which case the operation shall not be considered in the proposed operation. Such opposition may be made by telephone but it shall be confirmed in writing or email within [two hours] after its disclosure.

The operations performed shall be considered in adjusting the Daily Market Price, in such a way that if a profit has been made, the Daily Market Price shall be reduced by fifty percent of the profit obtained. If there has been a loss, the Daily Market Price will increase by fifty percent thereof. This adjustment of the price, upward or downward, will be taken to effect upon the settlement of the M month following the expiration of forwards considered for the Optimization of the Supply Price, as set out in section 3.1 of these General Terms and Conditions regarding the procedure for settlement of the M Month. A sheet with the details of all transactions of Price optimization carried out will be delivered each month indicating its net balance which shall appear in the Monthly settlement of the supply.

FOURTH. TERM

This Agreement enters into force on 1 January 2013 and ends on 31 December 2013, but may be extended by mutual agreement between the parties. Notwithstanding the above provisions, the effectiveness of the Agreement and therefore the start of delivery and the arising effects thereof, are conditioned to the granting of access to the network by the Distribution Company, without prejudice to that which is subsequently stated herein.

Regardless of the final date of the start of supply, the completion date of the Agreement will be 31 December 2013. Should access to the distribution network of the Facility be delayed by more than three months from 1 January 2013, the Agreement will be subject to revision by agreement between the parties of the economic terms and conditions for the Supply Point of the subject matter. Otherwise, it will be understood as not signed.

FIFTH. QUALITY OF SUPPLY

The supply of electricity through the distribution network will be in accordance with current legislation, the Marketer committing to promote the incorporation of advanced technologies in the measurement and control of the quality of the supply.

The Marketer may assign the execution of services to a subsidiary company, in any case undertaking the obligations and legal responsibilities to the Buyer.

SIXTH. TAXES

All types of taxes (taxes, fees, public prices) and territorial surcharges that may be established by any type of national, regional or local rule, or court decisions, shall be borne by the Buyer, who must pay them at the prevailing rates and with the temporary effects to be established at each time. The corresponding Value Added Tax shall be added to this amount.

SEVENTH: PRICE REVIEW DUE TO CHANGES IN REGULATIONS

In the event that changes occurred in regulated items of electricity prices, these changes will apply fully to contract prices. The rates established in Order ITC / 3519/2009 of 28 December shall be used as basis for the review.

Likewise, in the event that regulatory changes occurred involving the appearance of new items in the final price or deleting any of the existing items, these changes would be incorporated in the price formulas of the models of supply included in the second clause.

EIGHTH. MEASURING EQUIPMENT

The Purchaser agrees to provide the equipment required to obtain quarterly registration and telemetry of active and reactive electric power consumption in perfect working order, allowing access to the Marketer or Distributor for inspection at the point of delivery.

The Client is responsible for the custody of the Measuring Equipment and shall not manipulate it. The detection of any issue in relation with the functioning of the equipment shall be immediately notified to the supplier thereof. Furthermore, the Client shall allow the Distribution Company and the Marketer (or any representative duly authorized to act on behalf of the former or of the Marketer) access to the Measuring Equipment at all times, for the purposes of performing the required readings for invoicing, to examine its working order and to ensure its proper maintenance.

The installation and testing of the measuring equipment shall be to the account of the Buyer. Likewise, the Buyer shall install, at its own expense, a telephone line intended for measuring equipment to be accessible by the Marketer via modem. In the event that the measuring equipment fails, and consumption data are not available, the amount to invoice will be according to the provisions established and enacted to that effect. If such provisions had not been enacted, the historical consumption for the same period of the previous year and similar conditions of operation of the Facility will be taken as reference.

NINTH: INVOICING AND PAYMENT TERMS

The Client will not require the presentation of guarantees provided that the payment terms specified in the following paragraph are met: Invoicing and Payments of this Agreement, based on a biweekly payment scheme.

Invoicing and Payments

Two types of invoices will be issued: one by way of energy supplied and another one for management expenses.

Invoices for the supply of energy will follow a biweekly payment schedule, and PAYMENTS will therefore follow a payment scheme according to the following structure:

On the 16th of each month, an invoice will be issued for the energy scheduled hourly from the first of the month to the 15th inclusive, and evaluating the programme at the Daily Market Price in each hour. Another invoice will be issued on the first of the following month for the energy scheduled hourly from the 16th of the month until the last day of the month invoiced, inclusively, and evaluating the programme at the Daily Market Price in each hour. These invoices will be paid within 3 days of receipt by direct debit, or in the event of public holiday, the next working day. The corresponding VAT will be added to these amounts.

These biweekly payments are considered advance payments of the settlement of the M month.

Settlement of the M Month: The additional costs associated with the purchase (capacity-linked payment, Secondary reserve capacity (band), Restrictions, Taxes, etc.) will be included in the monthly settlement, along with the settlement of the corresponding positive or negative deviation at Daily Market Price according to the scheme of indicated extra costs stated in the Special Terms and Conditions, in addition to the results of the Optimization of the Supply in accordance with section 3.6 of the third clause. Once REE and OMEL make available to VME the performance results of the plants on the market, the invoice relating to the settlement of the M Month will be issued with a breakdown of the calculation method. Hidro Nitro Española shall have 3 business days from receipt thereof for validation of the invoice for settlement of the M month. In case of conformity, Hidro Nitro Española shall proceed to the payment of the invoice within 3 business days.

In case of discrepancies within 3 business days of receipt of the invoice, Hydro Nitro Española shall pay the lower value of the amounts under discussion. Both parties set a limit of 10 working days from the 15th of the month following consumption to reach an agreement, in which case, Hidro Nitro Española shall proceed to the payment within 3 days of the agreement. Failure to reach an agreement during those 10 days will lead to it being settled under the jurisdiction of the courts of the city of Madrid.

The invoices for “Management Fees” incurred by the Marketer will be issued separately within 5 days following the month on which consumption took place, for the energy settled in the corresponding month. Payment will be made on the 15th of the month following that on which consumption took place, or in the event of it being a public holiday, the first working day thereafter. This concept is established in the Special Terms and Conditions of this agreement.

 

 

ELECTRICITY MARKETING AGREEMENT FOR SUPPLY TO THE HIDRO NITRO ESPAÑOLA, S.A. FACILITY LOCATED IN POLÍGONO PAÚLES, MONZÓN (HUESCA) Page 8 of 16    


All Scheduling, Control and Invoicing will be made individually for each of the points of consumption to be agreed between the contracting parties.

The Client shall pay interest at Base Rate (One month Euribor for deposits in Euro, published by the European Banking Federation for interest accrual date) plus 3% per annum on any amount due and unpaid in respect of the period going from the Payment Date up to the date on which payment is made effective without need for prior warning. Such interest shall accrue daily and shall be paid on the date on which the payment of the unpaid invoice is made.

Payment of invoices shall be made by bank transfer.

Suspension of the Enforcement.

Should the Client fail to comply with payment upon maturity of amounts arising from this Agreement that are not in dispute, and if such failure is not remedied within a period of two (2) business days after receipt by the Client of the notice of default sent by the Marketer, the latter may suspend each and every one of the electricity supplies until full payment of that amount (plus Base Type interest plus 3% annually) and any other amounts, fines or penalties that may be claimed by any third party to the Marketer as a result of the suspension of supply to the Client under this Clause 3.3 without prejudice to any other rights granted to the Marketer.

Whatever the case may be, in the event that any undisputed amount due by the Client remains unpaid for a period equal to or exceeding two (15) sic days, without prejudice to the right of VILLAR MIR ENERGÍA, S.L. to terminate the Agreement and demand payment of any amounts owed thereto hereunder, the Marketer may proceed to suspend electricity supplies to the Client and to instruct the Distribution Company to suspend access to the network until the Client has paid to the Marketer all the amounts that were due under the Agreement and any expenses relating to the reconnection which must be paid by the Distribution Company.

Items included in the Agreement Price.

The Parties agree that the Agreement Price shall include items appearing in the Special Terms and Conditions in Annex 2.

Items not included in the Agreement Price.

The Agreement Price does not include charges for access to the network, surcharges for excess power and reactive power, as well as any other item other than those listed in the Third Clause, these being therefore exclusively on account of the Client.

Taxes.

It is understood that the amounts payable under this Agreement do not include Value Added Tax, which shall be borne by the Client at the rate applicable at all times.
