Introduction
 
The following “Introduction” discussion is disclosed pursuant to Item 8.01 of this Form 8-K and is set forth in advance of the Itemized disclosures below to provide context to the disclosures under Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K.  The information in this Introduction shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
 
As previously disclosed, on May 17, 2009, five indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pacific Ethanol, Inc. (the “Company”), namely, Pacific Ethanol Holding Co. LLC (“PEHC”), Pacific Ethanol Madera LLC (“Madera”), Pacific Ethanol Columbia, LLC (“Boardman”), Pacific Ethanol Stockton, LLC (“Stockton”) and Pacific Ethanol Magic Valley, LLC (“Burley” and, together with Madera, Boardman and Stockton, each a “Plant Owner” and, collectively, the “Plant Owners”), each commenced a case by filing a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 (“Chapter 11”) of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Cou rt”).  The cases were jointly administered as In re Pacific Ethanol Holding Co. LLC, et al., Chapter 11 Case No. 09-11713 (KG).  Neither the Company, nor any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries other than PEHC and the Plant Owners, filed petitions for relief under the Bankruptcy Code.
 
On June 29, 2010 (the “Effective Date”), PEHC and the Plant Owners emerged from Chapter 11 pursuant to the terms of the Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”), which was filed with the Bankruptcy Court on April 16, 2010 and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on June 8, 2010.  The following is a summary of certain material matters concerning the effectiveness of the Plan.  This summary does not include a description of all of the terms, conditions and other provisions of the Plan and is not intended to be a complete description, or a substitute for a full and complete reading, of the Plan.  This summary is qualified in all respects by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Securit ies and Exchange Commission on June 11, 2010 and incorporated herein by this reference.
 
Generally
 
The prominent economic terms of the Plan include, but are not limited to, the restructuring of approximately $287.0 million in prepetition and postpetition secured indebtedness of PEHC and the Plant Owners pursuant to a credit agreement entered into on June 25, 2010 among PEHC and the Plant Owners, as borrowers, and WestLB, AG, New York Branch (“WestLB”) and certain other lenders (the “Credit Agreement”), comprised of:
 
·  
Revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $15.0 million to fund working capital requirements so long as two of the four ethanol production facilities owned by the Plant Owners are not in operation (referred to as “Cold Shutdown”).  If at any time more than two production facilities are in Cold Shutdown, the aggregate principal amount of the revolving loans may be increased by an amount approved by WestLB, as agent, and the required lenders under the Credit Agreement; provided that in no event will the aggregate principal amount of the revolving loans exceed $35.0 million;
 
·  
Term A-1 Loans in the aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million, the proceeds of which were used to pay in full in cash all revolving loans made to PEHC and the Plant Owners between the bankruptcy petition date and the Effective Date; and
 
·  
Term A-2 Loans in the aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million issued in cancellation of an equal amount of certain prepetition loans.
 
Ownership of PEHC and Plant Owners
 
Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, 100% of the ownership interest in PEHC was transferred to a newly-formed limited liability company (“New PE Holdco”) solely owned by certain prepetition lenders and the Credit Agreement lenders, resulting in PEHC and the Plant Owners becoming direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of New PE Holdco.  Beginning on the Effective Date, the agent under the Credit Agreement, initially WestLB, has authority to appoint the managers, directors and officers of PEHC and each Plant Owner.
 
 
 
 

 
 
Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
Call Option Agreement
 
Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, the Company entered into a Call Option Agreement with New PE Holdco and certain current owners of membership interests in New PE Holdco, whereby the Company has the right to acquire from such current owners membership interests in New PE Holdco in an amount up to 25%, in the aggregate (the “Offered Interests”), of the total membership interests in New PE Holdco for a total price of $30,000,000 in cash (or $1,200,000 for each one percent of membership interest in New PE Holdco).  The Company may exercise its option to purchase all or a portion of the Offered Interests at any time beginning on July 7, 2010 and ending on September 28, 2010, after which the Company’s option to purchase the Offered Interests will terminate.
 
The description of the Call Option Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Call Option Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by this reference.
 
Asset Management Agreement
 
Each of the Plant Owners owns a separate ethanol production facility.  As contemplated by the Plan, on the Effective Date, the Company entered into an Asset Management Agreement with PEHC and the Plant Owners, pursuant to which the Company will provide certain management services to the Plant Owners whereby the Company will effectively operate and maintain the production facilities on behalf of the Plant Owners.  These services generally included, but are not limited to, administering each Plant Owner’s compliance with the Credit Agreement and related financing documents and performing billing, collection, record keeping and other administrative and ministerial responsibilities for each Plant Owner.  The Company will supply all labor and personnel required to perform its services und er the agreement, including, but not limited to, the labor and personnel required to operate and maintain the production facilities.
 
The Boardman production facility and the Burley production facility are currently operational.  The Madera and Stockton facilities are currently in Cold Shutdown.  For production facilities that are currently or in the future operational, the Company will provide substantially all services necessary for the operation and maintenance of the facilities.  For production facilities that are currently or in the future in Cold Shutdown, the Company is responsible for the preservation and maintenance of the facilities to facilitate a cost effective return to operational status once determined appropriate by the facility’s Plant Owner.  Notwithstanding the services provided by the Company, each Plant Owner retains the ultimate decision-making authority on all matters concerning the production facility owned by it.
 
The costs and expenses associated with the Company’s provision of services under the Asset Management Agreement are prefunded by the Plant Owners pursuant to a preapproved budget.  The Company’s obligation to provide services is limited to the extent there are insufficient funds advanced by the Plant Owners to cover the associated costs and expenses.
 
As compensation for providing the services, each Plant Owner will pay the Company $75,000 per month if its production facility is operational and $40,000 per month if its production facility is in Cold Shutdown.  In addition to the monthly fee, if during any six-month period (measured on September 30 and March 31 of each year commencing March 31, 2011) a production facility has annualized EBITDA per gallon of operating capacity of $0.20 or more, the Plant Owner of that facility will pay the Company a performance bonus equal to 3% of the increment by which EBITDA exceeds $0.20.  The aggregate performance bonus collectively payable by all Plant Owners is capped at $2.2 million for each six-month period.  The performance bonus will be reduced by 25% if all production facilities then operating do not operate at a minimum average yield of 2.70 gallons of denatured ethanol per bushel of corn.  In addition, no performance bonus will be paid if there is a default or event of default under the Credit Agreement resulting from the borrowers’ failure pay any amounts then due and owing.
 
 
 

 
 
The Asset Management Agreement specifies that the Plant Owners intend to sell one or more of the production facilities and provides that the Company will use reasonable efforts to assist the Plant Owners in any such sale.  Upon the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of a facility, or all of the equity interests in a Plant Owner, to a third party, the Company will receive an incentive fee with respect to such sale as follows:
 
“Sale Price per Gallon”
 
Incentive Fee
$.60 or less
$0
Above $.60 up to and including $.70
The excess of Sale Price Per Gallon over $.60, to and including the lesser of the Sale Price Per Gallon and $.70, multiplied by the operating capacity of the facility (in gallons), multiplied by 0.5%; plus
 
Above $.70 up to and including $.80
If the Sale Price Per Gallon exceeds $.70, the excess of the Sale Price Per Gallon over $.70, to and including the lesser of the Sale Price Per Gallon and $.80, multiplied by the operating capacity of the facility (in gallons), multiplied by 1.0%; plus
 
Above $.80
If the Sale Price Per Gallon exceeds $.80, the excess of the Sale Price Per Gallon over $.80, multiplied by the operating capacity of the facility (in gallons), multiplied by 1.5%.
 
The Asset Management Agreement has an initial term of six months and may be extended for additional six-month periods at the option of PEHC.  In addition to typical conditions for a party to terminate the agreement prior to its expiration, the Company may terminate the agreement, and any Plant Owner may terminate the agreement with respect to its facility, at any time by providing at least 60 days prior notice of such termination.  The agreement also contains other terms and provisions customary for an agreement of this type, including, but not limited to, provisions regarding insurance requirements, record retention, confidentiality, indemnification and force majeure.
 
The description of the Asset Management Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Asset Management Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by this reference.
 
Ethanol Marketing Agreements
 
As contemplated by the Plan, on the Effective Date, Kinergy Marketing, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Kinergy”), entered into separate Ethanol Marketing Agreements with each of Boardman and Burley, which grant Kinergy the exclusive right to market, purchase and sell the ethanol produced at the Plant Owner’s facility.  If the production facilities owned by Madera or Stockton become operational, it is contemplated that Kinergy would enter into a substantially identical Ethanol Marketing Agreement with the Plant Owner of the newly-operational facility.  Pursuant to the terms of the Ethanol Marketing Agreements, within ten days after a Plant Owner delivering ethanol to Kinergy, that Plant Owner is paid an amount equal to (i) the estimated purchase price payable by the third-party purchaser of the ethanol, minus (ii) the estimated amount of transportation costs to be incurred by Kinergy, minus (iii) the estimated incentive fee payable to Kinergy, which equals 1% of the aggregate third-party purchase price.  Within the first five business days of each calendar month, the parties will reconcile and “true up” the actual purchase price, transportation costs and incentive fees for all transactions entered into since the previous true-up date.
 
To facilitate Kinergy’s ability to pay amounts owing to the Plant Owners, the Ethanol Marketing Agreements require that Kinergy maintain lines of credit of at least $5.0 million.  Upon the request of a Plant Owner, the Company will enter into a guaranty with the Plant Owner guaranteeing the performance of Kinergy’s obligations under the Ethanol Marketing Agreement.
 
Due to the limited storage capacity of the Plant Owners, Kinergy agrees to take delivery of any ethanol requested by Kinergy within seven days of a Plant Owner making the ethanol available to Kinergy.  Each Ethanol Marketing Agreement has an initial term of one year and may be extended for additional one-year periods at the option of the Plant Owner that is a party to the agreement.  The agreements also contain other terms and provisions customary for agreements of this type, including, but not limited to, provisions regarding termination, insurance requirements, confidentiality, indemnification and force majeure.
 
The description of the Ethanol Marketing Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Ethanol Marketing Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by this reference.

Products, LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Pacific Ag”), entered into separate Corn Procurement and Handling Agreements with each of Boardman and Burley.  If the production facilities owned by Madera or Stockton become operational, it is contemplated that Pacific Ag would enter into a substantially identical Corn Procurement and Handling Agreement with the Plant Owner of the newly-operational facility.  Pursuant to the terms of the Corn Procurement and Handling Agreements, each Plant Owner appoints Pacific Ag is its agent to solicit, negotiate, enter into and administer, on behalf of the Plant Owner, corn supply arrangements for the Plant Owner to procure the corn necessary to operate its facility.&# 160; Pacific Ag will also provide each Plant Owner grain handling services including, but not limited to, receiving, unloading and conveying corn into the Plant Owner’s storage facilitates and, in the case of whole corn delivered to the Plant Owner, processing and hammering the whole corn.

3.           Facility Security.
 
Manager will adhere to the written Facility Security Plan and Facility staff will be trained in its requirements. Facility staff and all visitors will be required to adhere to the plan to ensure security of the Facility in normal as well as emergency situations.
 
F.           Maintenance Management Program.
 
Manager will provide usual and customary services including the following:
 
The prime objective of the maintenance management program will be to maximize equipment reliability and availability and minimize maintenance costs.  The ultimate goal is to maximize Facility profitability and to maintain, as closely as possible, given normal mechanical degradation, to the original design performance of all major pieces of equipment.
 
The key elements of the maintenance program are:
 
 
· 
Preventive maintenance
 
· 
Predictive maintenance
 
· 
Corrective maintenance
 
· 
Operational downtime management
 
· 
Spare parts inventory control
 
1.           Preventive Maintenance.
 
Preventive maintenance will be done by the Facility staff, consisting of periodic inspection and adjustment of equipment, to avoid deterioration to a point at which the equipment will not start, run, or operate efficiently or reliably. Some preventive maintenance can be accomplished while the unit is shutdown or running.
 
Preventive maintenance schedules will be included in the computerized program and calibrated to an overall Facility schedule. This schedule will alert maintenance crews, providing daily, weekly, monthly and annual forecasting of preventive maintenance activities. Spare parts considerations, such as lead time, can also be correlated.
 
Preventive maintenance intervals are directed by two measures, calendar time and unit operating parameters (vibration measurements, operating temperatures, amp loading, etc). Items scheduled by calendar time will be reviewed on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis. As a rule, preventive maintenance work will be scheduled to result in minimal interference with Facility operations.
 
 
A-4

 
 
2.           Predictive Maintenance.
 
A predictive maintenance program will center on Manager’s ability to track vital trend information. Observing critical variables over time will yield valuable information regarding equipment deterioration.  The preventive maintenance frequency may be increased or decreased, depending on the condition of the equipment found during a predictive maintenance inspection.
 
Use of the preventive and predictive maintenance schedules, in conjunction with the monitoring of operational data that reflect equipment condition, will result in high reliability and reduced maintenance costs.
 
3.           Corrective Maintenance.
 
The corrective maintenance activities will be aimed at avoiding repeat failures. Discussion meetings will be held to review failures which caused major repairs or shutdowns. Facility staff will review the conditions preceding the failure and, if possible, determine the exact cause, and make findings available to maintenance and operating personnel.
 
4.           Shutdown Management.
 
Shutdowns for equipment repair or replacement will be aggressively managed to minimize downtime. Advanced planning, work packages, shutdown schedules and other project management methods will be used to allocate Facility resources to produce efficient shutdowns.
 
During the pre-shutdown phase, the Facility staff and the major equipment manufacturers will cooperate closely to conduct the planned inspections in a minimum amount of time at a reasonable cost. This advance planning might begin anywhere from six months to a year before the shutdown, depending on the need for and the availability of major equipment components.
 
All pre-shutdown and shutdown related activities will be broken down into work packages or discrete elements which are more easily tracked over the course of the shutdown and provide a better means to manage the shutdown schedule.
 
A scheduling program, such as Microsoft Project, using the critical path method will itemize various work packages, organize them and calculate the effect any work package has on the overall shutdown length. This program will provide a reporting tool that allows the Facility staff to create easy-to-understand shutdown schedules and reports showing manpower and equipment resources, usage profiles and problems leading to schedule slippage.
 
 
 
A-5

 
 
5.           Spare Parts Inventory Control.
 
The Facility staff will implement a spare parts inventory control system designed to minimize tied-up capital, yet not jeopardize Facility contractual commitments by risking extended equipment downtime.
 
The Facility staff will establish an adequate spare parts inventory by studying manufacturers’ recommendations, reviewing past experience, and evaluating parts availability and delivery time from the various vendors, taking into account acceptable equipment downtime. The spares inventory will be managed so that parts are replaced when used, maintenance records are kept current, and the inventory is updated regularly to reflect changing Facility requirements.
 
Prior to outages and inspections, the Facility staff will order parts prone to normal wear and tear that are identified as needing to be replaced through the preventive/predictive maintenance programs. Furthermore, by maintaining close contact with the original equipment suppliers, the Facility staff will ensure that they purchase the latest revision parts.

Exhibit B

Sample Performance Incentive Fee Calculation

If six-month EBITDA for plant with a 40 million gallon Operating Capacity is $5 million and the plant produced 20 million gallons of ethanol during such period, the incentive fee would be:

0.03 x ($0.25 - $0.20) x 20 million = $30,000
 
 
 
 
B-2

 
 
Exhibit C

Sample Sale Incentive Fee Calculation


Assume (i) a Facility with an Operating Capacity of 60 million gallons is sold generating Asset Sale Proceeds of $80 million, (ii) the aggregate Operating Capacity of all of the Facilities is 200 million gallons, and (iii) the aggregate outstanding Loans are $80 million.
 
Step 1. Compute Sale Price per Gallon of $0.933333 as follows: Asset Sale Proceeds of $80 million, less $24 million pro rata portion of the Loans allocated to the Facility (i.e. 60,000,000/200,000,000 x $80 million) = $56 million.  Divide $56 million by 60 million.
 
Step 2.  Calculate Incentive Fee for each “Tier” as the product of (i) the excess of the Sale Price per Gallon over applicable tier floor (not to exceed the Tier ceiling for Tiers II and III), (ii) the Operating Capacity of the Facility, and (iii) the applicable percentage for such Tier set forth in Section 8.2, as follows:
 
Tier
 
Excess
over Tier
Floor
   
Operating Capacity
(Gallons)
   
Applicable Percentage
   
Incentive 
Fee
 
II - over $.60-$.70
  $ 0.10       60,000,000       0.50 %   $ 30,000  
III -  over $.70-$.80
  $ 0.10       60,000,000       1.00 %   $ 60,000  
IV - over $.80
  $ 0.13333       60,000,000       1.50 %   $ 120,000  
           
Step 3. Add fee for each tier to obtain total Incentive Fee:
    $ 210,000

(c)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (a) or (b) above, if Project Company defaults in its obligation to provide Ethanol to Kinergy in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, as contemplated by Section 2.3(c)), then Kinergy shall be entitled to set-off and deduct from current and/or future payments owed to Kinergy by Project Company (including the estimated payments pursuant to clause (a) above and the reconciliation and “true-up” payments pursuant to clause (b) above) an amount equal to, as applicable (i) the amount of damage payments owed by Kinergy to the applicable Third Party for failure to provide such Ethanol or (ii) the cost of any replacement Ethanol procured by Kinergy to satisfy the requirements of any Bilateral Transaction, each as a result of Project Company’s failure to perform hereunder net of any revenues received in respect of such Bilateral Transaction.
 
3.2   Overdue Payments; Billing Dispute.  If Project Company or Kinergy, in good faith, disputes the amount of any payment received by it or to be paid by it or set-off pursuant to Section 3.1 above, the disputing Party shall immediately notify the other Party of the basis for the dispute.  The Parties will then meet and use their best efforts to resolve any such dispute.  If any amount is ultimately determined to be due to or permitted to be set-off by Project Company or Kinergy (as the case may be), to the extent not previously paid or set-off, (a) Kinergy (or Project Company, as the case may be) shall pay such amount to Project Company (or Kinergy, as the case may be) within five Business Days of such determination or (b) Kinergy (or Project Company, as the case may be) may then set-off such amount (as the case may be).  If any Party shall fail to make any payment when due hereunder, such overdue payment shall accrue interest at the Prime Rate plus 2% from the date originally due until the date paid.
 
3.3   Audit.  Notwithstanding the payment of any amount pursuant to this Article III, Project Company shall remain entitled (upon reasonable prior notice, at reasonable times and at Kinergy’s corporate offices) and the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement (and its consultants, as directed by the administrative agent) shall be entitled (upon reasonable prior notice, not more than once per calendar quarter and at Kinergy’s corporate offices) to conduct a subsequent audit and review of (a) all Bilateral Transactions and related records to verify the amount of gross payments, Incentive Fees, Transportation Costs and damage payments and (b) the determination and calculation of the Purchase Price, in each case for a period of two years from and after the applicable Payment Adjustment Date.  If, pursuant to such audit and review, it is determined that any amount previously paid by Kinergy to Project Company did not constitute all of the amounts which should have been paid to Project Company, Project Company shall advise Kinergy indicating such amount and the reason the amount should have been paid to Project Company and, subject to the next two sentences, Kinergy shall pay such amount to Project Company within five Business Days of such request along with interest accrued at the Prime Rate plus 2% from the date originally due until the date paid.  If the Parties do not agree with respect to any item so noted, the Parties will then meet and use their best efforts to resolve the dispute.  If Parties are not able to resolve issues raised by such an audit and review, any disputed items will be resolved in accordance with the provisions of Article IX.

(a)   Within ten days after the date Project Company delivers Distillers Grains to PAP in accordance with Section 2.6(a), PAP shall pay to Project Company an amount equal to (i) the Purchase Price (Estimated) with respect to the Bilateral Transaction to which such delivery of Distillers Grains relates minus (ii) the aggregate amount of Transportation Costs (Estimated) with respect to such Bilateral Transaction minus (iii) the aggregate amount of the Incentive Fee (Estimated) with respect to such Bilateral Transaction minus To nnage Fees (Estimated) with respect to such Bilateral Transaction (it being acknowledged that PAP shall retain for its own account the amount of such Transportation Costs (Estimated), Incentive Fee (Estimated) and Tonnage Fees (Estimated), and that such amount represents an estimate of the net amounts to be paid to Project Company in connection with such Bilateral Transaction). In connection with each such payment, PAP shall deliver to Project Company a statement detailing its calculations of the applicable Purchase Price (Estimated), the applicable Transportation Costs (Estimated), the applicable Incentive Fee (Estimated) and the applicable Tonnage Fees (Estimated).
 
(b)   Within the first five Business Days of each calendar month (each such date, a “Payment Adjustment Date”), the Parties shall reconcile and “true-up” the actual Purchase Price, Transportation Costs, Incentive Fees and Tonnage Fees for all Bilateral Transactions entered into since the previous Payment Adjustment Date, with the intent of the Parties being that PAP shall make up the difference of any “under estimations” and Project Company shall refund any “over estimations”. For example, if there are “under estimations” then PAP shall pay to Project Company an amount equal to:
 
(i)   (A) the Purchase Price with respect to such Bilateral Transaction minus (B) the Purchase Price (Estimated) with respect to such Bilateral Transaction (to the extent actually paid by PAP to Project Company pursuant to Section 3.1(a)), minus
 
(ii)   (A) the Transportation Costs with respect to each such Bilateral Transaction minus (B) the Transportation Costs (Estimated) with respect to such Bilateral Transaction, minus
 
(iii)   (A) the Incentive Fee with respect to each such Bilateral Transaction minus (B) the Incentive Fee (Estimated) with respect to such Bilateral Transaction, minus
 
(iv)   (A) the Tonnage Fees with respect to each such Bilateral Transaction minus (B) the Tonnage Fees (Estimated) with respect to such Bilateral Transaction.
 
Each such monthly reconciliation or “true-up” payment shall be paid by PAP or Project Company (as applicable) no later than five Business Days after the applicable Payment Adjustment Date. Each Party acknowledges that Project Company (and not PAP) bears the risk of non-payment by a Third Party in connection with a Bilateral Transaction.

(c)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (a) or (b) above, if Project Company defaults in its obligation to provide Distillers Grains to PAP in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, as contemplated by Section 2.3(c)), then PAP shall be entitled to set-off and deduct from current and/or future payments owed to PAP by Project Company (including the estimated payments pursuant to clause (a) above and the reconciliation and “true-up” payments pursuant to clause (b) above) an amount equal to, as applicable, (i) the amount of damage payments owed by PAP to the applicable Thir d Party for failure to provide such Distillers Grains and (ii) the cost of any replacement Distillers Grains procured by PAP to satisfy the requirements of any Bilateral Transaction, each as a result of Project Company’s failure to perform hereunder net of any revenue received in respect of such Bilateral Transaction.
 
3.2   Overdue Payments; Billing Dispute.  If Project Company or PAP, in good faith, disputes the amount of any payment received by it or to be paid by it or set-off pursuant to Section 3.1 above, the disputing Party shall immediately notify the other Party of the basis for the dispute. The Parties will then meet and use their best efforts to resolve any such dispute. If any amount is ultimately determined to be due to or permitted to be set-off by Project Company or PAP (as the case may be), to the extent not previously paid or set-off, (a) PAP (or the Project Company as the case may be) shall pay such amount to Project Company within five Business Days of such determination or (b) PAP (or the Project Company as the case may be) may then set-off such amount (as the case may be). If any Party shall fail to make any payment when due hereunder, such overdue payment shall accrue interest at the Prime Rate plus 2% from the date originally due until the date paid.
 
3.3   Audit.  Notwithstanding the payment of any amount pursuant to this Article III, Project Company shall remain entitled (upon reasonable prior notice, at reasonable times and at PAP’s corporate offices) and the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement (and its consultants, as directed by the administrative agent) shall be entitled (upon reasonable prior notice, not more than once per calendar quarter and at PAP’s corporate offices) to conduct a subsequent audit and review of (a) all Bilateral Transactions and related records to verify the amount of gross payments, Incentive Fees, Transportation Costs and damage payments and (b) the determination and calculation of the Purchase Price, in each case for a period of two years from and after the applicable Payment Adjustment Date. If, pursuant to such audit and review, it is determined that any amount previously paid by PAP to Project Company did not constitute all of the amounts which should have been paid to Project Company, Project Company shall advise PAP indicating such amount and reason the amount should have been paid to Project Company and, subject to the next two sentences, PAP shall pay such amount to Project Company within five Business Days of such request along with interest accrued at the Prime Rate plus 5% from the date originally due until the date paid. If the Parties do not agree with respect to any item so noted, the Parties will then meet and use their best efforts to resolve the dispute. If Parties are not able to resolve issues raised by such an audit and review, any disputed items will be resolved in accordance with the provisions of Article IX.

The exercise of the right of a Party to terminate this Agreement, as provided herein, does not preclude such Party from exercising other remedies that are provided herein or are available at law or in equity; provided, however, that no Party shall have a right to terminate, revoke or treat this Agreement as repudiated other than in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement; and provided, further, that the Parties’ respective rights upon termination shall be subject to the liability limitations of Article V.  Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, remedies are cumulative, and the exercise of, or the failure to exercise, one or more remedies by a Party shall not, to the extent provided by Law, limit or preclude the exercise of, or constitute a waiver of, other remedies by such Party.

Such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association as in effect on the date of execution of this Agreement. Such arbitration shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT THE PROCEDURES SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE IX SHALL BE THE EXCLUSIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURES APPLICABLE TO ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 10.5, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A COURT TRIAL OR TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM UNDER THIS AGRE EMENT.
