O2Diesel at least one hundred and eighty (180) days and no more than two hundred (200) days prior to the end of the then current Term, if the quantity of O2Diesel Additive ordered and delivered during the last two (2) years prior to such notice is at least 50m liters per year, and provided that Distributor has fully paid any amounts then due under this Agreement and is not otherwise in material breach of this Agreement. Upon renewal, each such renewal period shall become part of the Term.

     13.2. Termination for Default. If either Party materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure the breach within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice thereof from the other Party, the other Party may terminate this Agreement upon further written notice to the breaching Party at any time that the breach remains uncured. Either Party may terminate this Agreement if it has reasonable grounds for insecurity concerning the other Party’s future performance and does not receive reasonably adequate assurance of performance within ten (10) days after giving written notice demanding the same.

     13.3. Termination for Convenience. This Agreement may be terminated by either Party upon six (6) months’ written notice to the other Party effective at any time more than three (3) years after the Effective Date.

     13.4. Rights and Obligations of Parties won Expiration and Termination.

          (a) Termination of this Agreement by either Party for any reason shall not affect and shall be without prejudice to the rights and obligations of the Parties accrued prior to the effective date of termination.

          (b) To the extent that Distributor has outstanding orders for O2Diesel Additive at the expiration or termination of this Agreement, such orders shall be deemed cancelled unless O2Diesel notifies Distributor within thirty (30) days after expiration or termination that it will deliver the ordered quantity of O2Diesel Additive. If O2Diesel so honors such orders, Distributor shall take and pay for the O2Diesel Additive in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

          (c) Within thirty (30) days after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Distributor shall notify O2Diesel of the quantity of O2Diesel Additive that Distributor then has on hand. Distributor shall have the nonexclusive right to use such O2Diesel Additive and any further O2Diesel Additive provided pursuant to Section 13.4(b) to make and sell O2Diesel Product subject to the applicable terms of this Agreement, but in no event shall such right continue for longer than six (6) months after the date of expiration or termination. After the expiration or termination of the Agreement and any further period of distribution permitted under this Section 13.4(c), Distributor shall take no action that would infringe O2Diesel Intellectual Property or use O2Diesel Confidential Information.

           (d) After the expiration or termination of this Agreement and any further period of distribution permitted under Section 13.4(c), Distributor shall, within thirty (30) days after O2Diesel’s request, return to O2Diesel or destroy any materials

provided by O2Diesel under Article 3 and any excess marketing materials for O2Diesel Product.

           (e) The provisions of Sections 2.5, 4.6, 6.3 and 13.4 and Articles 7 through 10, 12, and 14 through 16 of this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

14. Dispute Resolution

     14.1. Discussions. The Parties shall use reasonable efforts to amicably resolve any disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement by direct discussions between them.

     14.2. Arbitration of Disputes. Any dispute not resolved as set forth in Section 14.1 within fifteen (15) days after one Party notifies the other Party that it wishes to discuss the matter (“Dispute”), except matters relating to O2Diesel’s patents, trademarks or other intellectual property, shall be resolved by arbitration in Newark, Delaware under the Commercial Arbitration Rules (“Commercial Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), including the AAA Supplementary Procedures for Large Complex Commercial Disputes (“Complex Procedures”), as such rules shall be in effect on the date of delivery of a demand for arbitration (“Demand”), except to the extent that such rules are inconsistent with the provisions set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may agree that the Complex Procedures shall not apply in order to promote the efficient arbitration of Disputes where the nature of the Dispute, including the amount in controversy, does not justify the application of such procedures.

     14.3. Arbitration Procedures. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language before one (1) impartial arbitrator selected by mutual agreement of the Parties. If the Parties are unable to mutually agree on an impartial arbitrator within ten (10) days, a neutral arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA from the panel of commercial arbitrators of any of the AAA Large and Complex Resolution Programs. The arbitrator’s award shall be a final and binding determination of the dispute. If awarded by the arbitrator, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover its reasonably attorneys’ fees and expenses, including arbitration administration fees incurred in connection with such proceeding.

     14.4. Judicial Action. Notwithstanding the above, either Party may seek from any court having jurisdiction hereof any interim, provisional or injunctive relief or specific performance that may be necessary to protect the rights or property of any Party or to maintain the status quo before, during or after the pendency of the arbitration proceeding. The institution and maintenance of any judicial action or proceeding for any such interim, provisional or injunctive relief shall not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of either Party to submit the dispute to arbitration, including any claim’s or disputes arising from the exercise of any such interim, provisional or injunctive relief.

     16.6. Force Majeure. O2Diesel shall not be liable to Distributor for the consequences of any failure to perform, or default in performing, any of its obligations under this Agreement, if that failure or default is caused without the fault or negligence of O2Diesel by any act of “Force Majeure.” For the purposes of this Agreement, “Force Majored” shall mean war (whether declared or not); act of God; revolution; acts or omissions of Distributor or third parties beyond the control of O2Diesel; faulty or impassable roads; invasion; insurrection; riot; civil commotion; sabotage; military or usurped power; lightning; explosion; fire; storm; drought; flood; earthquake; epidemic; quarantine; strikes; acts or restraints of governmental authorities; inability to secure materials, machinery, equipment or labor; and laws and regulations of any governmental authority.

The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and all other rights and remedies available to either Party at law or in equity are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy now or hereafter available at law or in equity. Neither asserting a right nor employing a remedy shall preclude the concurrent assertion of any other right or employment of any other remedy, nor shall the failure to assert any right or remedy constitute a waiver of that right or remedy.
