LABORATORY COSTS

LAB OPERATOR PAYROLL

The cost for laboratory testing is based on the amount of lab operator time required to run LVT unit samples and product testing. No special lab equipment is required. Total tester time is assumed to be ** operator, including benefits and overtime. Hourly pay, benefits, and overtime will be estimated at the start of each year. Actuals will be determined at the end of each year and costs will be adjusted retroactively.

The specific tests conducted by the laboratory and the frequency are documented in Table 2 and Table 3. This defines the basis for the 0.5 personnel necessary to conduct LVT unit testing. Should the testing requirements change substantially either in frequency or actual type of test the resulting cost change will be redetermined to reflect more accurately the true cost.

Examples of cost calculations are set forth in Table 4.

Table 2 documents the tests which are conducted on each finished tank of product or each blended product rail car or truck load in order to provide a certificate of analysis (COA) on the products.

The Top Operator has responsibility for the operation of all the units in the progression. The time the top operator spends on the LVT unit is assumed to be proportional to the number of pieces of equipment.

T/O = # of equipment in LVT/# equipment in #2 Ref area
**

Trainees

Trainees are staffed in each progression to cover sickness, vacation and other vacancies. The cost of the trainees should be allocated to the LVT unit based on the ratio of shift positions and the number of trainees required to staff the progression.

SECTION 2 — TANK FARM OPERATOR PAYROLL

Tank Farm operator payroll is based on the manpower required for the normal operation of the LVT tankage and pumps. Manpower requirements include the sum of the payroll for the operating manpower for the rundown area operator, permit operator, and top operator that are devoted to the operation of the LVT tanks. These cost calculations should be reviewed annually and should be updated to reflect changes in organization or support requirements. Hourly pay, benefits, and overtime will be estimated at the start of each year. Actuals will be determined at the end of each year and costs will be adjusted retroactively.

The Rundown and Top Operator positions are staffed around the clock. The permit operator is a 40 hr/wk position.

Tank Farm Operator Payroll is calculated as:

Tank Farm Payroll = Rundown Oper + Top Oper + Permit Oper + Trainee cost

Rundown Area Operator

The tank farm outside operator for the LVT tankage also has responsibilities for the tanks in the “Rundown” area of the tank farm. The percent of time spent on the LVT tankage is proportional to the number of tanks in the rundown area. This position is staffed around the clock.

Rundown Oper = # of LVT tanks/# tanks in Rundown area

Oper Payroll = Base Pay + Benefits + Overtime

Top Operator

The Top Operator has responsibility for the operation of the entire Tank Farm area. The time the top operator spends on the LVT tankage is proportional to the number of tanks.

T/O = # LVT tanks/# Tanks in the Tank Farm area

Oper Payroll = Base Pay + Benefits + Overtime

Permit Operator

The Permit operator is responsible for permitting mechanical work in the entire Tank Farm area. The amount of time spent on the LVT tankage is proportional to the number of tanks in the Tank Farm area. The permit operator works 40 hr/wk.

P/O = # of LVT tanks/# tanks in Tank Farm Area

Oper Payroll = Base Pay + Benefits + Overtime

Trainees

Trainees are staffed in each progression to cover sickness, vacation and other vacancies. The cost of the trainees should be allocated to the LVT tankage based on the ratio of shift positions and the number of trainees required to staff the progression.

LVT Tk Trainee Cost = Pay + Benefits + Payroll Taxes

SECTION 3 — AREA C SUPPORT COSTS

Costs for operating the LVT unit include the costs for supervision of the operators, process and mechanical engineering. These cost calculations should be reviewed annually and should be updated to reflect changes in organization or support requirements.

Area C Staffing

The refinery is divided into operating areas, each of which is staffed by positions such as Area Manager, Maintenance Superintendent, Maintenance Supervisors, Planners, Operations Supervisors, Lead Process Engineer, Area Process Engineers, Reliability Engineers, Instrument Tech.

Operations Supervisor

One Operations Supervisor is responsible for supervision of the operators and the unit performance in the No.2 Reformer progression. His duties include: setting priorities and scheduling maintenance work, troubleshooting unit operating and reliability problems, ensuring operator training, PSM, and environmental requirements are fulfilled.

The amount of time the Operations Supervisor devotes to the LVT unit is proportional to the number of control loops in LVT versus the control loops in the Reformer progression.

Process Engineer

The Area process engineer is responsible for monitoring and troubleshooting unit operations. His duties include: monitoring unit performance, working with the operators, Production Supt, and Operations Supervisor to optimize unit performance, maintaining PSM compliance by updating the Process Technology Packages, completing Management of Change requirements, and participating in Process Hazard reviews as necessary. He may do some small scope process design work.

Calumet must arrange for more extensive process designs to be done by the refinery central engineering group or by an outside engineering firm. Those costs are not included here, and must be arranged separately.

The amount of time the Area Process engineer devotes to the LVT unit is assumed to be proportional to the number of control loops in LVT versus his area of responsibility.

Lead Process Engineer

The Lead Process Engineer is responsible for setting technical priorities, unit performance, and catalyst selection.

The amount of time the Lead Process Engineer devotes to the LVT unit is assumed to be proportional to the number of LVT control loops, and complexity of the Reformer progression vs the total operating area of the area in which the LVT unit is located.

Reliability Engineer

The Reliability Engineer is responsible for the reliability and mechanical operation of the equipment in the Reformer area. His responsibilities include: troubleshooting equipment problems, working with operators, Maintenance Supervisor,and vendors to improve equipment performance, completing Management of Change requirements, and participating in Process Hazards Analysis as required. He may also do small scope mechanical designs.

Calumet must arrange for more extensive mechanical designs to be done by the refinery central engineering group or by an outside engineering firm. Those costs are not included here, and must be arranged separately.

The amount of time the Area Reliability engineer devotes to the LVT unit is assumed to be proportional to the number of pieces of equipment in LVT versus his area of responsibility.

SECTION 4 — AREA D SUPPORT COSTS

Costs for operating the LVT tankage and rail car loading facility include the costs for supervision of the operators, tank maintenance, process and mechanical engineering. These cost calculations should be reviewed annually and should be updated to reflect changes in organization or support requirements.

Tank/Rail Car Facility Staffing

The area in which the tank farm and raill car facility are located is staffed with positions including Area Manager, Maintenance Superintendent, Maintenance Supervisors, Planners, Operations Supervisors, Reliability Engineers, Instrument Tech, Scheduler, and Admin Support. The positions responsibilities are the same as those described in Section 3.

Operations Supervisor

Operations Supv time is proportional to the number of LVT tanks versus the total number tanks in the tank farm area. The Tank Farm progression is detailed in the following table.

Oper Supv = # LVT Tanks/# Total Tanks in Tank Farm

Reliability Engineers/Maintenance Superintendent

The support for LVT tankage is assumed to be proportional to the number of LVT tanks.

LVT Support = # LVT Tanks/Total # Tanks * % time to Tk FM * # people supporting LVT Facilities

SECTION 5 — FINANCE/YIELDS

The refinery Finance/Accounting group will be responsible for the contract management and tracking of the LVT unit yields, utility consumption and other costs, invoicing and payments.

EXHIBIT E

UTILITIES COSTS

Examples of cost calculations are set forth in the accompanying spreadsheets.

SECTION 1 - FUEL GAS COSTS

Fuel Gas to the LVT furnace (H-15) is measured by FI-25005. The fuel will be priced at **.

Monthly costs will be calculated as:

Fuel Gas Cost = FI-25005 Metered MSCF/Month * Monthly Avg MMBtu/SCF * $/MMBtu for **

SECTION 2 - COOLING WATER/ELECTRICITY COSTS

Electricity and cooling water are not directly measured. These costs will be calculated based on the original design usage as shown below:

LVT Unit Class A Design Data

Design fresh feed rate to the LVT unit is ** bpd.
Design electricity usage is ** kwh.
Design cooling water circulation is ** gpm.

Cooling Water

Design cooling water circulation for the LVT unit is ** gpm. Current LVT usage is so small no pumps or fans would be turned off if the LVT unit no longer ran, chemical savings is negligible. Therefore, no charges for cooling water will be made at current usage rates.

Future increased usage would be charged using the formula:

( (** x $/kwh) + **) x mgpm x 60 x 24 = $/day

Electricity Costs

Annual electricity charges for the LVT unit will be calculated based design electricity usage, anticipated onstream time, and estimated electricity costs per kwh. Each month, ** of these costs will be charged to the LVT unit. At the end of the year, these costs will be adjusted retroactively to reflect the actual onstream time and actual electricity costs, as shown in bold.

Electricity cost per kwh is to be based on the total refinery electricity cost including facility charges and taxes, excluding the ▇▇▇▇ discount.

Per the LVT Design, design electricity usage is ** kwh/day based on a ** BPD feed rate.

Annual Electricity Costs = ** kwh * 24 hr/day * 365 day/year * onstream factor * $/kwh

Annual Electricity Costs = ** kwh/yr * onstream factor * $/kwh

SECTION 3 — NITROGEN COSTS

Nitrogen costs for the LVT unit are calculated as a percent of the total refinery nitrogen usage. The LVT usage is assumed to be proportional to the number of downtimes times the LVT EDC versus the total number of downtimes for other nitrogen users times their EDC.

An annual nitrogen cost will be calculated each year. The LVT unit will be charged ** of the annual fee each month. At the end of the year, the LVT unit costs will be adjusted retroactively to reflect actual refinery nitrogen costs and number of unit downtimes, as indicated in bold.

LVT Nitrogen Usage = LVT #Downtimes * LVT EDC/(Sum of Downtimes * EDC) * ** (to account for tank farm and waste water usage) * Refinery Nitrogen.

LVT Nitrogen Usage = ** * Refinery N2

LVT Nitrogen Usage = ** * Refinery Nitrogen

(1) Number of LVT Downtimes are from PI. 1994 numbers are annualized on 7 months of data.
(2) Other unit downtimes are from the refinery downtime schedule.
(3) **% usage is added for tank farm and waste water.

SECTION 4 — LVT HYDROGEN COSTS

LVT Hydrogen costs are the cost of hydrogen supply less the value of the hydrogen purge stream returned to the refinery hydrogen system.

Hydrogen Supply Costs to LVT Unit

Hydrogen supply costs include the cost for purchased hydrogen, based on the weighted average 3rd party cost for the refinery, excluding **, including any take or pay penalty, plus the costs for compression and compressor maintenance.

Hydrogen Supply Cost = Metered MSCF * 3rd Party $/MSCF H2

+ Take or Pay Fees
+ H2 Compression Costs
+ %LVT of Avg Comp Maint Costs

Hydrogen supply costs will be calculated monthly using the metered hydrogen flow, actual electricity prices, and estimated hydrogen price. The following month, the hydrogen cost will be corrected to reflect the actual hydrogen supply price.

Metered Hydrogen Supply to LVT

Hydrogen supply to the LVT unit is currently set and metered using orifice meter FC25017.

Monthly hydrogen supply rates will be calculated using FI-25017.

Hydrogen Price

The refinery currently obtains hydrogen from several sources. The cost of the hydrogen supplying the LVT unit is considered incremental hydrogen and is priced at the weighted average outside purchase price of all third party sources. ** is excluded since that price is not necessarily representative of an independent third party due to the multiple contractual relationship between our two companies. To cover anticipated hydrogen needs of the refinery and Excel Paralubes, a take or pay option is sometimes utilized. This cost would also be shared by the LVT operation.

Hydrogen Compression Costs

The hydrogen supplying the LVT unit is compressed from ** to ** psia using the ** stage of reciprocating compressors **. Hydrogen purity is normally **%+.

Hydrogen compression costs are calculated per MSCFD using the GPSA Engineering Data Book, Section 4, assuming a **% efficiency.

Hydrogen Compression BHP = ** BHP/MMSCFD.

Electrical Usage = (BHP/MMSCFD * ** * 100/**) * MMSCFD

Electrical Usage = (** BHP/MMSCFD * ** * 100/**) * MMSCFD

Electrical Usage = ** Kwh/MMSCFD

Hydrogen Compression Costs = ** Kwh/MSCFD * Metered MSCFD * $/Khw

Average Compressor Maintenance Costs

The percent of maintenance costs calculated for the LVT supply hydrogen stream is proportional to the total flow of hydrogen pumped by the compressors. One compressor typically runs **% loaded, the second compressor typically runs **% loaded, pumping a total of ** MMSCFD in all ** stages, based on design data.

LVT % of Compressor Maint Cost = LVT flow/Total Compressor Flow

H2 Supply Costs

Hydrogen supply costs are estimated as shown below.

H2 Supply Costs = (Metered MSCFD * H2 Price)* 365 day/yr

+ (** Kwh/MSCFD * Metered MSCFD * $/Kwh*24)*365
+ LVT Comp Maintenance

Hydrogen Purge Credit

A stream of hydrogen is purged from the LVT and is amine treated and sent to the refinery’s PSA system to remove light ends, before being recycled to the hydrogen makeup system. The remaining hydrogen and light ends are recovered to the fuel system. The PSA system consists of two PSA units, referred to as the New and Old PSA, and a tail gas compressor which allows the PSA to operate at lower pressure and increased efficiency. Per the design, the PSA units will operate at an average efficiency of **% with the tail gas compressor in operation.

LVT Purge Credit = Value of H2 recovered

+ Value of PSA purge to Fuel
– Operating Costs for PSA
– Capital Recovery costs (PSA, amine, compressors)

Hydrogen purge credit will be calculated monthly using the metered hydrogen purge flow, actual fuel gas price, actual electricity prices, and estimated hydrogen price. The following month, the hydrogen cost will be corrected to reflect the actual hydrogen supply price. The factors to be updated monthly are underlined in bold.

This calculation is based on design operating data for the PSA units. The PSA efficiency and flow rates used in this calculation should be reviewed after a baseline operation is established with the tail gas compressor in operation.

Metered LVT Hydrogen Purge

The LVT purge hydrogen stream is metered by **.

Value of H2 recovered

Value of H2 recovered = ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ * Purge %H2 * Avg PSA efficiency * Hydrogen Price $/MSCF 3rd Party H2

Value of PSA purge to Fuel

Value of PSA purge to Fuel

= (LVT Purge MSCFD * % H2 * ** * Btu/scf
+ LVT Purge MSCFD * %HC * Btu/scf)*$/BTU Purch Fuel Gas

Operating Costs for PSA

PSA treating costs are calculated as the average PSA operating costs, average adsorbent costs, plus tail gas compressor costs, proportional to the LVT flow vs the total flow through the combined PSA units.

PSA Costs = Avg Maint/Op costs

+ Avg Adsorbent Costs
+ Tail Gas compression costs

LVT PSA Costs = LVT purge flow/Total PSA Flow * PSA Costs

Avg Maintenance/Op Costs

Normal maintenance costs are for valve maintenance, troubleshooting, and normal preventive maintenance.

Tail Gas Compression Costs

Tail gas compression costs are based on the design horsepower data and PSA flows.

Capital Recovery

No Capital Recovery fee is charged to the JV since the value of the LVT facilities are donated as part of the agreement.

SECTION 5 — VOLUME GAIN CREDIT

Through the reactions occurring in the LVT process, the volume of product produced is greater than the volume of feed. The volume gain is the increased liquid produced above the feed volume (100.00 LV %) by reducing the aromatics and producing saturated (paraffin and cyclic) hydrocarbons that results in reduced density (increased API) of the treated liquids.

Per the LVT Feedstock Agreement, Calumet will purchase the LVT products produced. To account for the volume gain, a credit will be calculated monthly based on actual hydrogen consumption, theoretical volume gain, and the feedstock prices specified in the LVT Feedstock Agreement.

Volume Gain Credit will be calculated as:

Actual Hydrogen Consumption SCF * Volume Gain Gal/SCF * $/Gal Feedstock

The factors underlined in bold will be updated monthly.

For example, volume gain credit is calculated to be:

** SCF/yr * **/SCF * $**/gal = $**/year

Hydrogen Consumption

Actual hydrogen consumption will be calculated monthly using the flow rates of PSA hydrogen to the LVT unit less the amount of LVT purge hydrogen using the meters specified in Section 4. The LVT purge hydrogen stream is **% hydrogen, based on 1996 data.

H2 Consumption = (Metered PSA ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ — Metered LVT Purge MSCF * H2% in purge H2 stream)

Volume Gain Calculation

Since it is infeasible to calculate the actual volume gain due to meter accuracy, a theoretical volume gain will be used. The calculation shown below is based on the information from the catalyst vendor data and engineering calculations.

This is a procedure to account for weight and volume gain produced by the chemical hydrogen consumption. The weight gain is produced by the amount of chemical hydrogen that is above the feed weight (100.00 WT %). The volume gain is the increased liquid produced above the feed volume (100.00 LV %) by reducing the aromatics and producing saturated (paraffin and cyclic) hydrocarbons that results in reduced density (increased API) of the treated liquids.

This procedure requires a consistent set of feed and product gravities from a representative material balance.

EXAMPLE

I. Calculate Weight Gain


1 lb. H₂	=	SCF / MW = /**

	=	** SCF H₂

	=	** M SCF H₂

1 lb. Molex Feed	=	** gal/bbl / feed density

	=	gal/bbl / lb/bbl

	=	** gal/lb. of Molex

Therefore,

1 lb. H₂	=	** gal of Molex
	or
1 M SCF H₂	=	gal / M SCF/lb. H₂

	=	** gal Molex Feed

II.Calculate Volume Gain

Therefore,

1 M SCF H2	=	/ SCF/gal x 1000 SCF/MSCF

1 M SCF H2	=	** gal Molex feed

Note:

⁽¹⁾Bold = 3 pieces of data on hydrogen consumption and density are based on process design and calculations from known properties and reactions of aromatic components in LVT feedstock boiling range; and as supported by ConocoPhillips pilot plant data and UCI pilot plant data.

III. Value of Gain

IV. Calculated Volume Gain


Design hydrogen consumption is SCF/BBL of feed or SCF/gal of feed.

1 SCF H2 creates ** gallons of liquid from weight gain and lower density.

Percent volume expansion	=	H₂ consumption x volume expansion

	=	SCF/gal x x 100

Calculated Volume Gain	=	**%

Summary

1 gallon feed + ** SCF H2 = ** gallon product

V. Total Volume Gain

During normal operation and shutdown, liquid is lost to the flare or sewer.

Allowance for unaccounted physical loss is assumed to be ** %.

Net Volume Gain = ** — ** = ** %

Therefore, net volume gain is calculated to be ** gal/SCF of Hydrogen consumption.

SECTION 6 — METER CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

The costs described in Section 4 and Section 5 are based on the fuel gas meter, PSA hydrogen meter, and LVT purge hydrogen meter. Meter calibration and adjustments to cost calculations for flow measurement inaccuracies will be per standard industry practice.

ConocoPhillips will maintain the meters described above. Any expenses will be paid by Calumet.

ConocoPhillips will keep the meters accurate and in repair and will test as appropriate. ConocoPhillips will give advance notice before the time of each test so that Calumet , if it elects, may have a representative present to witness the test. Calumet will have the right to challenge the accuracy of the meters, and when challenged, the meters will be tested and repaired as necessary.

Any of the meters found on test to register not more than 3% high or low will be deemed to be correct as to past measurements but will be corrected to read accurately in the future. If any tested meter proves to be more than 3% high or low, adjustment will be made by applying the percentage of error to the calculated volume of product delivered during the period the meter was reading inaccurately; up to a

maximum of 180 days prior to the test date. If the period for which the meter was reading inaccurately cannot be determined, then the percentage of error will be applied to the volume delivered for one-half the elapsed time since the date of the last meter calibration, up to 180 days.

Each party shall have the right to install a check meter, at their own expense, near the delivery point. If a check meter is installed, then in the event of a failure of the normal meter to read accurately, the check meter will be used to calculate the volumes delivered.

If the transfer meter is out for repairs, is being tested, or becomes inoperable and a check meter has not been installed, then the volume of product delivered will be determined by the best data available, using most feasible method:

(1) Simply correcting the error, if the percentage of error is ascertainable by calibration test, or mathematical calculation.

(2) Determining the volumes delivered by reference to deliveries during the most similar period preceding the period when the meter read accurately.

SECTION 7 - LVT CATALYST COSTS

ConocoPhillips and contract maintenance costs will be charged directly to the unit via the ** system. Any setup maintenance supervisor time would also be charged directly to ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇.

Cost factors shown in bold will be updated annually.

Loading facility charges include costs for operator payroll for rail car loading, rail rack maintenance, and truck rack maintenance. These cost calculations should be reviewed annually and should be updated to reflect changes in organization or support requirements. Hourly pay, benefits, and overtime will be estimated at the start of each year. Actuals will be determined at the end of each year and costs will be adjusted retroactively. Additionally, at the end of each year the charges will be corrected to reflect percent usage of the truck rack facility, and actual truck rack and rail rack maintenance expenditures.

Loader

The loader is responsible for loading rail cars of Solvents and other refinery products. This position is staffed 7 days a week, days only. Solvents cars require twice the loading time of other products.

Base Oper Payroll = #Oper Positions x $/hr x 2080 hr/yr,plus benefits and overtime.

Loader Payroll = (#Solvents Cars *2)/(#Solvents Cars * 2 + # Other Cars) * Base Payroll

Truck Rack Maintenance Costs:

At cost, based on Calumet’s pro rata use.

Loading Rack Maintenance Costs

Maintenance and operating costs for the rail rack will be shared between ConocoPhillips and Calumet based on the number of rail cars loaded. Initially, rail rack maintenance will be an estimated annual cost to be charged monthly.

Costs will be collected to a specific charge number to obtain an accurate account of actual costs. If this proves effective, rail rack maintenance costs would be calculated as:

LVT Rail Rack Costs = # LVT Cars/# Total Cars * Rail Rack Maintenance Costs

+ Maintenance Benefits
+ Payroll Taxes

LVT Rail Rack Costs = # LVT Cars/# Total Cars * Rail Rack Maintenance Costs

+ Rail Maintenance/Total Tk Fm Maintenance * Maint Benefits
