the extent permitted by Buyer's existing plans and programs.
(v) SELLERS' RESPONSIBILITY FOR EXISTING BENEFITS.
Buyer shall not be liable for any salaries, wages, commissions,
vacation and/or sick leave pay or other compensation or benefits
due Sellers' employees prior to the Effective Time, including, but
not limited to, any withdrawal liability imposed under ERISA as the
result of the cessation of any of Sellers' obligations to

severance, bonus, stock option, stock purchase, restricted stock,
incentive, deferred compensation, medical, dental, life insurance,

for any claims or demands made by their employees arising or
resulting from facts or circumstances occurring during their
employment by Sellers. Sellers hereby agree to indemnify, save and
hold harmless Buyer for, from and against any and all Loss
associated in any way with the matters set forth in this Section
5.02(b).
(c) COOPERATION OF THE PARTIES. Sellers and Buyer
agree to fully cooperate with respect to each of the calculations

whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
(e) COBRA AND HEALTH CLAIM DATA. Sellers shall provide
all notices and fulfill all of their obligations, if any, under
Section 4980B(f)(6) of the Code with respect to the Buyer's

during the eighteen-month period immediately preceding the delivery
of such information to Buyer.
(f) WAGE REPORTING. Wages paid by Sellers to Buyer's
Employees during 1995 shall be considered attributable to Buyer for
purposes of Section 3121(a)(1) of the Code and Section
31.3121(a)(1)-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations. Buyer shall
furnish each Buyer's Employee one statement of Income Tax Withheld
on Wages (IRS Form W-2) for wages paid by Sellers and Buyer. Buyer
shall file IRS Forms W-2 and W-3 covering Buyer's Employees with
the Social Security Administration for wages paid and withheld by

Buyer computer information as soon as practicable relative to wages
paid to Buyer's Employees prior to the Closing Date to permit Buyer

this Subsection 5.02(f) to relieve Sellers of the obligation to pay
and/or withhold any wages for any of Buyer's Employees up to the
Effective Time.

Date, if requested by Buyer, Buyer and Sellers shall jointly make

portion of the Assets shall be destroyed by fire or other casualty,
or if any portion of the Assets shall be taken in condemnation or
under the right of eminent domain, or if proceedings for such
purposes shall be pending or threatened, the effect of which would
have a Material Effect, Buyer or Sellers may elect to terminate
this Agreement. If Buyer or Sellers shall so elect, neither party
shall have any further obligation to the other hereunder. If not
so terminated or if there is no Material Effect, this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any such
destruction or taking, and Sellers shall repair or replace that
portion of the Assets damaged or destroyed by fire or other
casualty prior to the Closing and, in the event of a taking under
condemnation or under the right of eminent domain, Sellers shall at
the Closing pay to Buyer all sums paid to Sellers by reason of such
taking, and Sellers shall assign, transfer and set over unto Buyer
all of the right, title and interest of Sellers in and to any
unpaid awards or other payments arising out of such taking.
5.04 TAXES DUE WITH RESPECT TO TRANSFER OF ASSETS. Buyer and
Sellers believe that there are no sales or other transfer taxes
("TRANSFER TAXES") applicable as a result of the transfer of the
Assets to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. If there are any such
Transfer Taxes, Buyer shall be obligated to pay such taxes or
reimburse Sellers for Sellers' payment of such taxes.
5.05 PROPERTY TAX PRORATION AMOUNT. Unpaid state and local
ad valorem, property and similar taxes and assessments, common area

subleases applicable to the Assets shall be apportioned as of the
Effective Time. The "PROPERTY TAX PRORATION AMOUNT" shall be the
amount of the foregoing which have accrued for periods preceding
the Effective Time, but which have not been paid. The calculation
of the Property Tax Proration Amount shall be based on the best

immediately prior to the Closing Date. The Property Tax Proration
Amount as so determined shall be final between the parties and the
Base Purchase Price shall be adjusted therefor as provided in
Section 2.05.
5.06 LIKE-KIND EXCHANGE. If requested by Sellers, Buyer will
cooperate with Sellers to accommodate a like-kind exchange under

exchange, but Buyer shall not have to assume any additional
liabilities or obligations in connection therewith. Sellers shall
have the right, without the consent of Buyer, to assign all or any
portion of their interests in the Assets and their rights and
obligations under this Agreement to a third party designated by
Sellers for purposes of facilitating such like-kind exchange.
Sellers shall indemnify, save and hold harmless Buyer for, from and
against any and all costs, expenses, liabilities, fines, penalties,

Licenses necessary for Buyer to own and operate the Assets and the
Businesses in accordance with Laws and Environmental Laws and as
they are now owned and operated by Sellers and as they have been

leases of real property, and any consents required from any Person
in connection with the assignment thereof, necessary for Buyer to
own and operate the Assets and the Businesses as they are now owned
and operated by Sellers and as they have been owned and operated on

personal property and leases of real property, respectively, or
other arrangements have been made to give Buyer substantially the

REFINERY PERSONAL PROPERTY. The Refinery shall be operating in
the ordinary course and shall be capable of operating at its rated
capacity. The Refinery Facilities and Refinery Personal Property
shall be in good condition and repair and shall have been
maintained in as good and effective operating condition as they
would be kept and maintained by a prudent operator; and the
Refinery Facilities and Refinery Personal Property shall be in
compliance with all Laws, the failure of which compliance would
have a Material Effect.

PIPELINE PERSONAL PROPERTY. Subject to those matters known to
Buyer as a result of Buyer's ownership interest in the Pipeline and
taking into consideration the age and use of the Pipeline, the
Pipeline Facilities and Pipeline Personal Property shall be in good
condition and repair and shall have been maintained in as good and
effective operating condition as they would be kept and maintained
by a prudent operator; and the Pipeline Facilities and Pipeline
Personal Property shall be in compliance with all Laws, the failure
of which compliance would have a Material Effect.
(h) RESULTS OF DUE DILIGENCE. Buyer's inspection,
testing and examination of the Assets and the Businesses conducted
pursuant to Section 5.07 shall not have revealed any matter which,
in the reasonable judgment of a comparable industry third party
purchasing assets and businesses comparable to the Assets and
Businesses, would, alone or in the aggregate, cause such a third
party not to purchase the Assets for reasons other than changes or
conditions in the industry and in markets.
(i) WATER RIGHTS. Buyer shall have received an
assignment, and all required consents thereto, of a fully executed,
valid and effective contract between Sellers and the United States
Bureau of Reclamation in the form set forth in Schedule 6.02(i),
and, in addition, a comparable industry third party purchasing
assets and businesses comparable to the Assets and Businesses would
in its reasonable judgment determine, following due diligence
review as provided in Section 5.07, that an assured water supply,
at a cost not materially exceeding historical costs, will be
available in the immediate future through a valid and enforceable
contract with a term of not less than 10 years with a local
municipality for delivery of water through the Refinery's existing
delivery point(s) in an amount sufficient to operate the Refinery
as it is now operated by Sellers and has been operated by Sellers
on an historical basis. If such an assured water supply is not
immediately available, Sellers and Buyer shall together in good
faith attempt to determine if other mutually satisfactory
assurances of adequate long-term supply are available. The water
rights described on Schedule 3.01(l) shall have, in the past,
provided the Refinery with an adequate water supply to operate in
the ordinary course of business without interruption or shut down
and without objections, litigation, threatened litigation or
similar claims, except as set forth on such Schedule. The water
rights granted by the contract with the United States Bureau of
Reclamation described above, together with the "Owned Rights"
described on Schedule 3.01(l), shall be sufficient to allow Buyer
to operate the Refinery as it is currently being operated and as it
has been operated on a historical basis; and except as set forth in
such Schedule, there shall be no objections, threatened objections,
complaints, litigation, threatened litigation or other matters with
respect to, limiting or affecting the continued use of such water
by Buyer.
(j) COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT. Buyer shall have
entered into an agreement(s) with those labor organizations, or
successors thereto, that are parties to the collective bargaining
agreements set forth in Exhibit 3.01(k) containing terms and
conditions no more onerous than those contained in said collective
bargaining agreements in any material respect.
(k) APPROVAL OF WATER USAGE. The New Mexico State
Engineer Office shall have approved the continued removal of
groundwater in connection with environmental remediation activities
at the Refinery and said approval shall not unreasonably restrict
the amount of groundwater that may be removed for such purpose
after the Effective Time, or Buyer shall have received from
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, New Mexico legal counsel to Buyer, reasonable
assurances to the effect that lack of such approval will not have a
material adverse effect on such remediation activities.
(l) INTANGIBLE PROPERTY. Buyer shall have obtained all
material Intangible Property necessary to own and operate the
Assets and the Businesses as they are now operated and as they have
been operated on an historical basis. The continued operation of
the Refinery Business and the Pipeline Business and the use of such
Intangible Property and the Licenses shall not infringe any valid
patent, copyright, tradename or other right held by any third party
in any material respect. No claim by any third party contesting
the validity, enforceability, use or ownership of the Intangible
Property or Licenses shall have been threatened or outstanding.
(m) NO VIOLATION. No oral or written notice, citation,
order or judgment shall have been issued, no penalty shall have
been assessed, and no investigation or review shall be pending or
threatened by any Person with respect to any alleged material
violation of any Laws or Environmental Laws (other than as
disclosed as an Existing Environmental Liability), or with respect
to any alleged failure to have any material Licenses or Permits in
connection with the Assets or the Businesses.
(n) VALIDITY OF CONTRACTS. All material Contracts and
leases of real property (i) shall be in full force and effect, (ii)
shall be legal, valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with
their terms, and (iii) shall not be in default and no events have
occurred thereunder, which with the giving of notice or the passage
of time or both could cause any such Contract or leases of real
property to be in default. All monies due and performance required
under the terms of all material Contracts and leases of real
property through the Effective Date shall have been paid and
performed or Sellers will give adequate assurance that such will be
so paid and performed.
(o) CONDEMNATION. There shall be no material
condemnation, expropriation, eminent domain, or similar proceeding
pending or threatened affecting any of the Assets.
(p) COSTS RELATING TO ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES. The
costs and expenses of Buyer to comply with Environmental Laws and
to pay, perform, fulfill and discharge Environmental Liabilities
would not, in the reasonable judgment of a comparable industry
third party purchasing assets and businesses comparable to the
Assets and Businesses, be materially increased over the historical
costs incurred by Sellers in connection therewith.
(q) REASSESSMENTS AND REEVALUATIONS. There shall have
been no proposed reassessments or reevaluations of any of the
Assets, any imposition of additional assessments or special
assessments, or any other proposals that would increase the amount
of any taxes relating to the Assets or the Businesses, that would
have a Material Effect.
(r) PROFIT AND LOSS STATEMENTS. Prior to Closing
Sellers shall have provided to Buyer profit and loss statements for
BRC for each month subsequent to May, 1995 as is normally
available.
(s) COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS. Except for the
Existing Environmental Liabilities, the Assets, the Businesses and
the ownership and operation thereof as they are currently being
owned and operated and as they have been owned and operated on an
historical basis and all Refined Products produced thereby shall be
in compliance with all Environmental Laws, the failure of which
compliance could have a Material Effect.
(t) CRUDE OIL CONTRACTS. All contracts for the
purchase or supply of crude oil identified by Sellers in Schedule
3.02(g) shall have been transferred to Buyer without any material
modifications, amendments, or additional costs, financial
obligations or other requirements or Buyer shall have received
replacement or substitute contracts or other arrangements have been
made to give Buyer substantially the same benefits, without
material modifications, amendments, or additional costs, financial
obligations or other requirements.
(u) OSHA MATTERS. Except as referred to in Section
3.01(h), all requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act
and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and all requirements of
any similar laws or regulations of any state, tribal or local
jurisdiction (the "OSHA REQUIREMENTS") relating to the Assets, the
Businesses or the ownership or operation thereof as they are now
owned and operated, and as they have been owned and operated on an
historical basis, shall have been complied with in all material
respects. Sellers shall have not received any citation or other
notice of alleged violation of OSHA Requirements from the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration or any comparable
administration of any state, tribal or local jurisdiction (an
"ADMINISTRATION") or any Administration inspector setting forth any
respect in which the Assets, the Businesses, or the ownership or
operation thereof is not in compliance with OSHA Requirements,
which noncompliance shall not have been corrected or remediated to
the satisfaction of such Administration or inspector.
(v) CONVENTIONAL GASOLINE/ANTI-DUMPING. Subject to
averaging in accordance with 40 C.F.R. Part 80, Subpart E, all
gasoline produced at the Refinery shall be in compliance with the
anti-dumping provisions, including conventional gasoline standards
and blendstock controls, of the Clean Air Act and the regulations
promulgated thereunder, including 40 C.F.R. Part 80, Subpart E (the
"ANTI-DUMPING REQUIREMENTS"), and the Refinery is capable of
producing gasoline which complies with the Anti-Dumping
Requirements, without any limitation on existing gasoline
production capacity, utilizing the Refinery's existing
configuration and existing Feedstock quality.
(v) MATERIAL STATEMENTS. No information provided by
Sellers shall have contained any untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements contained therein not misleading. There shall have been
no material adverse fact known to Sellers and unknown to Buyer
relating to the Assets or the Businesses which has not been
disclosed to Buyer.
(w) PERMITS AND LICENSES. The Permits and Licenses
shall have been entered into by Sellers in the ordinary course of
business and shall contain terms and conditions customary in the
industry for similar types of instruments.
(x) CONTRACTS. The Contracts shall have been entered
into by Sellers or Affiliates in the ordinary course of business in
arm's length transactions and shall contain terms and conditions
customary in the industry for similar types of instruments.
(y) CONSENTS. All material final consents, approvals,
orders and authorizations of any Person required in connection with
the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, the
transfer of the Assets to Buyer or the ownership, operation or use
of the Assets and the Businesses as they are now operated or used
and as they have been operated or used on an historical basis
(including but not limited to any preferential rights to purchase
or consents to assignments), shall have been obtained without
conditions which would result in a Material Effect, or, if such
consents are customarily obtained subsequent to such transfer, such
consents will be forthcoming in the ordinary course without
resulting in a Material Effect.
(z) BENEFIT PLANS. Each employee benefit plan
maintained by Sellers which is intended to meet the requirements
for tax-favored treatment under the Code or which is intended to be
qualified within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code, shall
have been administered in accordance with such requirements and
shall have received a favorable determination letter from the
Internal Revenue Service with respect thereto; and nothing shall
have occurred which would cause the loss of any such tax-favored
treatment or qualification. Each such plan shall have been amended
prior to the end of the Code's remedial amendment period to
incorporate all provisions required by the Tax Reform Act of 1986
and subsequent legislation.
(aa) UTILITIES. Buyer shall have access and the right
to use all gas, electricity and other utilities necessary or

Closing Date, Sellers shall defend, indemnify and save and hold
harmless Buyer and Buyer's directors, officers, shareholders,
employees and agents against all Losses which arise from or in
connection with (i) any of the matters retained or assumed by
Sellers pursuant to Subsection 5.01 (g) or set forth in Section
8.04(a); (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement, representation
or warranty of Sellers contained herein ; and (iii) any breach of
any covenant, agreement, representation of warranty of Sellers in
any Transfer Document.
(c) CLAIMS FOR INDEMNIFICATION. Sellers and Buyer
shall with reasonable promptness notify the other party of the
making of any demand, the assertion of any claim, or the
commencement of any suit, action or proceeding by any third party
for which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement (an
"INDEMNITY OBLIGATION"). The party from whom indemnification is
sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to assume the defense or settlement of any Indemnity
Obligation of which the party seeking indemnification (the
"INDEMNIFIED PARTY") gives notice; provided, however, that if the
Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume such defense or
settlement, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to assume such defense or settlement, and the
Indemnifying Party shall at all times have the right, at its option
and expense, to participate fully therein. Each party shall have
reasonable access to the books, records and personnel in the
possession or control of the other party which are pertinent to the
defense or settlement of any Indemnity Obligation. The parties
shall cooperate in the defense or settlement of any Indemnity
Obligation, but the party electing to assume such defense or
settlement shall have full authority to determine all action to be
taken with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party may join the
Indemnifying Party in any suit, action or proceeding to which any
such right of indemnity created by this Agreement would or might
apply, for the purpose of enforcing any such right.
(d) INDEMNIFICATION THRESHOLD. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, neither Sellers nor
Buyer shall be liable for Losses pursuant to the indemnification
obligations set forth in Section 8.03(a) and (b) unless the amount
of Losses for which Sellers or Buyer, as the case may be, would be
liable, but for the provisions of this Subsection 8.03(d), exceeds
$25,000 for any individual Loss or $125,000.00 on an aggregate
basis for all such Losses, but they shall retain full liability for
all other covenants and obligations. The limitation in the
foregoing sentence shall apply to Environmental Liabilities.
8.04 ASSUMPTION OF OBLIGATIONS.
(a) SELLERS' OBLIGATION. In addition to the
obligations retained or assumed by Sellers elsewhere in this
Agreement, and except as otherwise provided in Section 5.01,
Sellers shall remain liable and responsible for all claims, costs,
expenses, liabilities and obligations of any kind or nature,
whether known or unknown, arising from or in any manner relating to
the existence, ownership, operation or maintenance of the Assets,
the conduct of the Businesses, or any activity of the Sellers
(including without limitation obligations arising under the
Transferable Permits and Licenses, and the Contracts) attributable
to periods prior to the Effective Time.
(b) BUYER'S OBLIGATIONS. In addition to the
obligations assumed by Buyer elsewhere in this Agreement, and
except as otherwise provided in Section 5.01, Buyer shall be liable
and responsible for all claims, costs, expenses, liabilities and

arising from or in any manner relating to the ownership or the

activity of Buyer (including without limitation obligations arising
under the Transferable Permits and Licenses, and the Contracts)
attributable to periods after the Effective Time.
8.05 IDENTIFICATIONS, SIGNS, TRADEMARKS AND TRADENAMES.
Within a reasonable time after Closing, but in no event later than
90 days after the Closing Date, Buyer at its sole cost, risk and
expense shall remove from the Assets any and all signs or other
items that display or exhibit the name of Sellers or their
Affiliates, or the trademarks or tradenames of Sellers or their
Affiliates. In the conduct of its business and otherwise, Buyer
shall not use any of the foregoing and shall not represent, state
or otherwise infer in any manner, directly or indirectly, to any
party that Buyer is acting on behalf of or as a representative or
agent of, or in any way associated with Sellers. Furthermore,
Purchaser shall not use the names "Bloomfield Refining Company,"
"▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Energy Corporation," "Bloomfield" or "▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇"
or, with the exception of "Bloomfield Refinery," any combination
thereof or any abbreviation thereof in connection with the use and
operation of the Assets.
8.06 ACCESS TO RECORDS - BOOKS AND RECORDS. Sellers shall
have the right to make copies of any of the Records located at the
Refinery which they desire to retain prior to delivering such
Records to Buyer at the Closing, and Buyer shall be entitled to
make copies of any Records maintained by Sellers in Denver prior to
Closing. For a period of seven years after the Closing Date, Buyer
shall permit Sellers and their authorized representatives to have
reasonable access to any Records received from Sellers remaining
from time to time in Buyer's possession; and Sellers shall permit
Buyer and its authorized representatives to have reasonable access
to any Records retained by Sellers remaining from time to time in
Sellers' possession.
8.07 WAIVER OF COMPLIANCE WITH BULK SALES LAWS. Buyer hereby
waives compliance by Sellers with the provisions of any applicable
bulk sales act, and Sellers hereby agree to indemnify Buyer from
any Losses resulting therefrom.
8.08 COVENANT AGAINST COMPETITION. Sellers covenant and
agree that they shall not at any time within the five year period
immediately following the Closing Date engage in, finance, assist,
or have any ownership or interest of any kind, directly or
indirectly in any Person that engages in, anywhere within a 175
mile radius of Bloomfield, New Mexico, all or any part of the
Businesses or any business related thereto (other than retail
marketing of Refined Products, and exchanges and buying and selling
of Refined Products relating to the retail marketing of Refined
Products) including without limitation the purchasing or gathering
of crude oil, the refining of crude oil or the marketing of Refined
Products (other than retail marketing of Refined Products, and
exchanges and buying and selling of Refined Products relating to
the retail marketing of Refined Products); provided, however, that
Sellers may own, directly or indirectly, as an investment,
securities of any Person which are publicly traded if Sellers do
not, directly or indirectly, own five percent or more of any class
of securities of such Person. Except as provided in this Section,
neither Sellers nor Buyer agree to otherwise refrain from any other
competitive activities.
8.09 INDEPENDENT EVALUATION. Buyer is experienced and
knowledgeable in the refinery and pipeline businesses and is aware
of their risks. To the extent Buyer deems appropriate, Buyer will
examine all materials made available by Sellers with respect to the
Assets (the "BACKGROUND MATERIALS"). The Background Materials are
files, or copies thereof, that Sellers have used in its normal
course of business and other information about the Assets that
Sellers have compiled or generated; however, Buyer acknowledges and
agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, Sellers have
made no representations or warranties, express or implied, written
or oral, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Background
Materials or any other information relating to the Assets furnished
or to be furnished to Buyer or its representatives by or on behalf
of Sellers. Buyer expressly assumes the risk of (i) future changes
in the world price for crude oil, (ii) future changes in prices
that may be received for refined and other products, (iii) future
changes in the volumes of products refined at the Refinery, (iv)
future changes in the volumes of products being transported through
the Pipeline, and the rates received therefor, and (v) future
changes in levels of production from the oil and gas leases and
▇▇▇▇▇ supplying the Refinery and the Pipeline (whether expected or
unexpected declines or complete cessation of production).
8.10 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Sellers and Buyer shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver or cause to be executed, acknowledged and
delivered such instruments and take such other action as may be
reasonably necessary or advisable to carry out their obligations
under this Agreement and under any Exhibit, Schedule, document,
certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto.

and Conveyance delivered pursuant to 7.03(a)(iii) and the General

therein.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
9.01 TERMINATION. This Agreement and the transactions
provided for herein may be terminated in the following instances:
(a) By either Buyer or Sellers if any condition set
forth in Section 6.03 above shall not be satisfied at the Closing.
(b) By Buyer if any condition set forth in Section 6.02
above shall not be satisfied on or before October 1, 1995.
(c) By Sellers if any condition set forth in Section
6.01 above shall not be satisfied on or before October 1, 1995, or,

the date of this Agreement or 10 days after the waiting period
applicable under the H-S-R Act has terminated or expired, but in no
event earlier than August 31, 1995.
(d) By either Buyer or Sellers if, in response to such
party's filing under the H-S-R Act, the Federal Trade Commission or
the Department of Justice makes a written request of such party for
additional information and the compliance with such request would
in such party's reasonable judgment cause an out-of-pocket
expenditure to such party in excess of $200,000 or would, in the
reasonable judgment of a comparable industry third party selling or
purchasing assets and businesses comparable to the Assets and
Businesses be otherwise unduly burdensome.
(e) By either Buyer or Sellers if as of 60 days
following the date of this Agreement, all federal and state
regulatory clearances or approvals in connection with the H-S-R Act
which are required to be granted prior to Closing have not been
received.

pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and such information shall
remain subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.
9.03 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. The following provisions shall
apply in the event of a termination of this Agreement:
(a) NON-WILLFUL FAILURE. If this Agreement is
terminated by Buyer or Sellers as permitted under Section 9.01
hereof and not as a result of the willful failure of any party to
perform any of its obligations hereunder, such termination shall be
without liability to any party to this Agreement or on the part of
any shareholder, director, officer, employee, agent or
representative of such party;
(b) WILLFUL FAILURE. If this Agreement is terminated
as a result of the willful failure of a party to perform any of its
obligations hereunder, such non-performing party shall be fully
liable for any and all damages, costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees) sustained or
incurred by such other party;
(c) REMEDY FOR THE NON-SATISFACTION OF BUYER'S
CONDITIONS. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, if the conditions to Buyer's obligations to purchase the
Assets as set forth in Section 6.02 are not satisfied other than as
a result of Sellers' willful failure to perform any of their
obligations hereunder, Buyers sole and only remedy is to terminate
this Agreement without liability to Sellers; and
(d) SURVIVAL. Sellers and Buyer hereby agree that the
provisions of this Section 9.03 shall survive any termination of
this Agreement.

Re: Common Undertaking Between Giant Industries Arizona,
Inc., Bloomfield Refining Company and ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Energy Corporation Regarding Due Diligence Assessment
of Bloomfield Refinery
Gentlemen:
On behalf of Giant Industries Arizona, Inc. ("Giant"), Giant's
legal department is in the process of conducting an environmental
due diligence assessment of the Bloomfield, New Mexico refinery
(the "Refinery") of Bloomfield Refining Company and ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Energy Corporation (collectively, "Sellers") in connection with the
sale of the Refinery to Giant. As part of that due diligence,
Giant and its consultants ("Consultants"), have obtained certain
documents from Sellers or their counsel regarding environmental
issues that may be privileged under the attorney-client or
work-product privilege. Consultants are also conducting on-site
inspections of the Refinery and related properties. Certain
information and documents obtained or prepared as a result of the
environmental due diligence assessment will be provided to Sellers
and their counsel in accordance with the Purchase and Sale
Agreement between Giant and Sellers.
Giant, Sellers and their respective counsels have a common
interest in evaluating the environmental status of the Refinery and
related properties to complete the transaction. Therefore, the
transmission of information or documents to Sellers shall not be
deemed as a waiver of any attorney-client or work product privilege
that may otherwise attach to the information or documents. To
maintain the privilege, Sellers and their counsel and any
consultants retained by Sellers for this matter agree not to
divulge or release the documents or information contained in the
documents to any third parties or persons who do not have a need to
know the information for purposes of the due diligence.

This Guarantee and Agreement (this "AGREEMENT"), dated as of
___________, 1995, is from GIANT INDUSTRIES, INC., a Delaware
corporation, with an address of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇,
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ("GUARANTOR"), and to and for the benefit
of BLOOMFIELD REFINING COMPANY, a Delaware corporation ("BRC"),
with an address of ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇,
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, and its successors and assigns.
RECITALS
▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("GWEC"), BRC and Giant Industries Arizona, Inc., an Arizona
corporation ("GIANT ARIZONA") entered into that certain Purchase
and Sale Agreement (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), dated as of August
8, 1995, wherein Sellers agreed to sell and transfer to Giant
Arizona, and Giant Arizona agreed to purchase and accept delivery
of, certain property, interests and rights as more specifically
described in the Purchase Agreement. As set forth in Section 2.02
of the Purchase Agreement the consideration to be paid by Giant
Arizona under the Purchase Agreement, included an "Earnout," if and
when earned, as more specifically described in Schedule 1.01.1 to
the Purchase Agreement (the "EARNOUT"). Capitalized terms used
herein without definition shall have the meaning ascribed thereto
in the Earnout.
Guarantor owns all of the outstanding shares of stock of Giant
Arizona, and Guarantor, and the other direct and indirect
subsidiaries of Guarantor are mutually dependent on each other in
the conduct of their respective businesses as an integrated
operation. It is a condition to the consummation of the
transactions provided for in the Purchase Agreement that Guarantor
shall have executed and delivered this Agreement.
AGREEMENT
In consideration of the foregoing, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged by Guarantor, and in order to induce Sellers to
proceed with the consummation of the transactions provided for in
the Purchase Agreement, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
1. RATIFICATION. Guarantor hereby ratifies and agrees to be
bound by the provisions contained in Subsection 3.01(c) and Section
3.02 of the Earnout.
2. GUARANTEE. Guarantor hereby guarantees the duties and
obligations of Giant Arizona under the Earnout (the "Obligations")
as follows:
(a) If and whenever Giant Arizona fails for any reason
whatsoever punctually to pay or perform any of the Obligations,
Guarantor shall cause each and every such Obligation to be paid or
performed on demand as if Guarantor instead of Giant Arizona were
expressed to be the primary obligor of such Obligations to the
intent that BRC shall receive the same amounts and benefits as
would have been receivable had such payments or performances had
been made by Giant Arizona.
(b) If any payment received by BRC shall, on the
subsequent bankruptcy, insolvency, corporate reorganization or
other similar event applying to Giant Arizona, be avoided or set
aside under any laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, corporate
reorganization or other such similar event, such payments shall not
be considered as discharging or diminishing the liability of
Guarantor, and the guarantee contained herein shall continue to
apply as if such payment had at all times remained owing by Giant
Arizona and Guarantor shall indemnify BRC with respect thereto.
(c) Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under
the guarantee contained herein shall be unconditional and
irrevocable and that Guarantor shall be fully liable irrespective
of the validity, regularity, legality or enforceability against
Giant Arizona of, or of any defense or counterclaim whatsoever
available to Giant Arizona in relation to, the Obligations, whether
or not any action has been taken to enforce the same or any
judgment obtained against Giant Arizona, whether or not any time or
indulgence has been granted to Giant Arizona by or on behalf of
BRC, whether or not there have been any dealings or transactions
between Giant Arizona and BRC, whether or not BRC has changed its
status, functions, control or ownership, whether or not the Earnout
has been amended, changed or otherwise modified, and whether or not
any other circumstances have occurred which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense of a
guarantor. Accordingly, the validity of the guarantee contained
herein shall not be affected by reason of any invalidity,
irregularity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any of the
Obligations and this guarantee shall not be discharged nor shall
the liability of Guarantor under the guarantee contained herein be
affected by any act, thing or omission or means whatever whereby
its liability would not have been discharged if it had been the
principal obligor.
(d) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in
limitation thereof, no action or inaction by or on behalf of Giant
Arizona, Guarantor or BRC or any other person and no change of law
or circumstances shall affect, release or diminish Guarantor's
obligations, liabilities, agreements or duties hereunder.
Guarantor hereby expressly agrees that BRC may, from time to time,
without notice to or the consent of Guarantor (i) amend, change or
modify, in whole or in part, the Earnout, (ii) give or refuse to
give any waivers or other indulgences, or neglect, delay, fail or
refuse to take or prosecute any action in connection with the
Earnout, (iii) change, rearrange, extend or renew the time, terms,
or manner for payment or performance of any of Giant Arizona's
obligations or duties, and (iv) compromise or settle any duties or
obligations under the Earnout. Furthermore, the guarantee
contained herein is a continuing guarantee and shall apply to and
cover the Earnout and all renewals, extensions, amendments,
modifications, supplements or restatements thereof.
(e) BRC may invoke the benefits of the guarantee
contained herein before pursuing any remedies against Giant Arizona
or any other person. BRC may maintain an action against Guarantor
on the guarantee contained herein without joining Giant Arizona
therein and without bringing a separate action against Giant
Arizona.
(f) Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment,
demand of payment, filing or claims with a court in the event of
dissolution, liquidation, merger or bankruptcy of Giant Arizona,
any right to require a proceeding first against Giant Arizona,
protest or notice with respect to the Obligations and all demands
whatsoever and hereby covenants that the guarantee contained herein
shall be a continuing guarantee which will not be discharged except
by complete payment and performance of the Obligations.
(g) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement
to the contrary, Guarantor shall have the same rights as Giant
Arizona has to assert any defense or claim under the Purchase
Agreement as a defense to this guarantee.
3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Guarantor hereby
represents and warrants to BRC as follows:
(a) ORGANIZATION. Guarantor is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the State of Delaware, and Guarantor is duly qualified to carry on
its business in the State of New Mexico.
(b) POWER AND AUTHORITY. Guarantor has all requisite
power and authority to carry on its business as presently
conducted, to enter into this Agreement, and to perform its other
obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement does not violate,
and is not in conflict with, any provision of Guarantor's charter,
bylaws or governing documents, or any agreement or instrument to
which Guarantor is a party or is bound, or any judgment, decree,
order, statute, rule or regulation applicable to Guarantor.
(c) DUE AUTHORIZATION. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement have been duly and validly authorized
by all requisite action on the part of Guarantor.
(d) BINDING OBLIGATIONS. This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered on behalf of Guarantor, and constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligations of Guarantor, enforceable
against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws relating to or
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and to
general principles of equity.
4. MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement shall bind Guarantor and
inure to the benefit of BRC and its permitted successors and
assigns under the Earnout. This Agreement may not be altered or
amended, nor any rights hereunder be waived, except by an
instrument in writing executed by the party or parties to be
charged with such amendment or waiver. A waiver of any term,
provision or condition of this Agreement in any one or more
instances, shall not be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or
continuing waiver of any such term, provision or condition or as a
waiver of any other term, provision or condition of this Agreement.
Executed as of the date first set forth above.

to arbitration, and a decision shall be
rendered by the arbitrator within 30 days
of the hearing. Any award entered shall be
made by a written opinion stating the
reasons for the award made.
(d) This submission and agreement to
arbitrate shall be specifically
enforceable.
(e) If the arbitration award reflects an
underpayment of the disputed payment by an
amount greater than five percent of the
correct amount, GWEC shall pay the AAA's
fees, the arbitrator's fee, and Giant's
audit costs and attorneys' and experts'
fees, provided these fees are reasonable.
Giant shall pay the AAA's fees, the
arbitrator's fees, and GWEC attorneys' and
experts' fees, if the arbitration award
reflects that the disputed payment was
equal to or greater than the correct
amount. Giant shall pay the AAA's fees and
the arbitrator's fees, and each Party shall
pay its own attorneys' and experts' fees,
if the arbitration award reflects an
underpayment of the disputed payment by an
amount up to five percent of the correct
amount.

SCHEDULE 1.01.1
EARNOUT
This Schedule 1.01.1 is part of the Purchase and Sale
Agreement (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT") among Bloomfield Refining
Company, a Delaware corporation ("BRC"), ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Energy
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("GWEC") (collectively,
"SELLERS"), and Giant Industries Arizona, Inc. ("BUYER") and
provides for the payment by Buyer of an Earnout, as defined in the
Purchase Agreement for the Refinery.
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
As used in this Schedule, the following terms shall have the
following meanings.
"AFFILIATE" when used with respect to any person, shall mean
any entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or
under common control with such person.
"CINIZA REFINERY" shall mean that refinery owned by Buyer
located near Gallup, New Mexico.
"DEEMED DAILY REFINERY CAPACITY" shall mean 14,700 barrels per
day for calendar years 1997 and 2001, and 16,000 barrels per day
for all other periods. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.01
regarding Force Majeure, the Deemed Daily Refinery Capacity shall
be used to determine the Earnout Payment as provided below
regardless of the actual level of production from or capacity of
the Refinery or the Ciniza Refinery.
"EFFECTIVE TIME" shall have the meaning ascribed to such term
in the Purchase Agreement.
"FORCE MAJEURE" shall mean any cause or causes beyond the
control of Buyer that materially prevents Buyer from operating
either the Refinery or the Ciniza Refinery in the same manner that
it had been operating the refineries prior to the occurrence of
such cause, including but not limited to the following: acts of
God; fire; storm; flood; earthquake; wash outs; explosions;
accidents; acts of public enemy; rebellion; strikes; lock-outs;
disputes or differences with workmen; labor shortages; industry
disturbances; failure of power or utilities; interruption,
disruption or breakdown of supply, production, manufacture,
storage, transportation, sales, distribution, or delivery; breakage
or accident to machinery, equipment or pipelines; and restrictions
or restraints imposed by law or by rule, regulation or order of
governmental authorities, whether federal, state or local (but not
including any increased costs of compliance with existing or future
laws, rules, regulations or orders); provided, however, that
neither lack of money, changes in market conditions nor reduced
availability of raw materials due to natural decline or increased
costs of raw materials shall constitute Force Majeure.
"GIANT" shall mean Giant Industries, Inc., a Delaware
corporation.
"REFINERY MARGIN" shall mean the refinery-sourced revenues
(including all business interruption insurance proceeds
attributable to the Refinery or the Ciniza Refinery that Buyer
accrues) less the associated cost of revenues, stated on a per
barrel basis for the refinery-sourced sales barrels. The Refinery
Margin will be the weighted average for both the Ciniza Refinery
and the Refinery. The Refinery Margin calculation shall be based
on generally accepted accounting principles applied consistently
with Buyer's historical practices used in calculating the "Refinery
Margin" that Buyer currently reports in its public filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Refinery Margin shall be calculated based on
refinery-sourced sales barrels. Refinery-sourced sales barrels
shall include refinery direct sales, Affiliate sales, exchange
sales, and any other disposition for value, but not outside
purchases of finished products (i.e., the number of barrels of such
outside products shall not be included in the number of barrels of
refinery-sourced sales barrels in determining the per barrel
Refinery Margin). Refinery-sourced revenues shall consist of the
revenues from sales of the various finished petroleum products
manufactured by the applicable refinery and sold, all of which
shall be reflected in Buyer's billing system including sales to
Affiliates. Revenues shall be adjusted for rebates and credits.
Finished product freight and superfund tax and other taxes
collected by Buyer (but not taxes levied on the Buyer, e.g. income
taxes, etc.) shall be reductions to revenues. Differential income
on product exchanges shall also be included in revenues.
Cost of revenues shall consist of the purchase of raw
materials to be manufactured at the refineries (excluding
chemicals, operating expenses and catalysts). Raw material cost
includes all freight to move the raw materials to the refineries
and gains or losses resulting from hedging contracts associated
with raw materials. Outside purchases of finished product (net of
revenues) shall be included in cost of revenues. Gains or losses
from raw materials exchanges shall be included in cost of revenues
(including as gains all payments to Buyer by GWEC under that Crude
Oil Contract to be executed by GWEC and Buyer pursuant to Section
7.03(k) of the Purchase Agreement. Inventory changes shall also be
reflected in the cost of revenues and shall be stated at the lower
of cost or market with cost determined by the last-in, first-out
method of accounting. Finished products shall be valued in
inventory based on a relative sales value method. Gains and losses
resulting from speculative contracts associated with raw materials
or finished products shall not be included in cost of revenues.
Produced fuel consumed in refinery operations shall be included in
refinery-sourced revenues and in the cost of revenues so as to have
no effect on the Refinery Margin.
Affiliates of Buyer may supply raw materials, purchase
finished products from Buyer, and provide associated transportation
services. Transactions with Affiliates shall continue to be priced
competitively with similar bona fide arms' length transactions and
in a manner consistent with Buyer's historical practices. The
transportation cost for crude oil shipped through the Pipeline
shall be the tariff charge, as in effect from time to time,
provided that Buyer may seek increases in the tariff charge only to
reflect increased Pipeline operating or capital costs determined in
a manner consistent with the manner in which the tariff has
historically been set for the Pipeline.
If the Ciniza Refinery ceases to be owned by Buyer or an
Affiliate of Buyer, the Refinery Margin shall be calculated by
reference to the Refinery only and not the Ciniza Refinery.
"PERMITTED LIEN" shall mean the following:
(i) liens for taxes or assessments not yet delinquent
or, if delinquent, that are being contested in good
faith in the ordinary course of business and which
have been reserved against if required by generally
accepting accounting practices consistently applied;
(ii) materialman's, mechanic's, repairman's, employee's,
contractor's, operator's and other similar liens or
charges arising in the ordinary course of business
securing amounts not yet due and payable and which
have been reserved against if required by generally
accepting accounting practices consistently applied;
(iii) liens, burdens and encumbrances burdening the
Refinery or the Pipeline at the time the same are
conveyed to Buyer; and
(iv) easements, rights-of-way, and servitudes that do not
interfere materially with the operation of the
affected asset.
"PIPELINE" shall mean the raw materials pipeline located in
San ▇▇▇▇ County, New Mexico delivering crude oil to the Refinery.
"REFINERY" shall mean the refinery commonly known as the
Bloomfield Refinery located near Bloomfield, New Mexico.
ARTICLE II
EARNOUT
2.01 EARNOUT PAYMENTS. On or before 90 days after the end of
each calendar year commencing with 1995, Buyer shall pay to BRC by
wire transfer at such account as BRC may specify, an amount (the
"EARNOUT PAYMENT") determined as follows:
(a) If the Refinery Margin is $4.25 or less for the
applicable period, no Earnout Payment shall be due.
(b) If the Refinery Margin is greater than $4.25 but
less than or equal to $6.25 for the applicable period, the Earnout
Payment shall equal (i) 60% of the amount by which the Refinery
Margin exceeds $4.25, MULTIPLIED BY (ii) the sum of the Deemed
Daily Refinery Capacity for each day of the applicable period.
(c) If the Refinery Margin exceeds $6.25 for the
applicable period, the Earnout Payment shall equal (i) (A) $1.20,
plus (B) 80% of the amount by which the Refinery Margin exceeds
$6.25, MULTIPLIED BY (ii) the sum of the Deemed Daily Refinery
Capacity for each day of the applicable period.
(d) The "applicable period" shall be (i) the period from
the Effective Time through December 31, 1995, (ii) each calendar
year thereafter, and (iii) if the Buyer's obligation to make
Earnout Payments terminates pursuant to Section 2.02(b) other than
on January 1 of a calendar year, the period from January 1 through
the day such obligation terminates.
(e) The Earnout Payment shall be calculated in
accordance with the terms of this Schedule 1.01.1 using generally
accepted accounting principles as applied to the refineries'
operations, consistently applied from period to period.
(f) A sample calculation of the Earnout Payment is set
forth on Exhibit 2.01(f) hereto.
(g) If all or substantially all of the Refinery is
destroyed by fire or other casualty or taken by condemnation, and
the Buyer decides to not replace or rebuild the Refinery, Buyer
shall pay to BRC an amount equal to BRC's Share of any insurance
proceeds, damage awards and condemnation awards received by Buyer
relating to such occurrence or taking. "BRC's Share" shall be a
fraction whose numerator shall be 25 multiplied by 1.5 multiplied
by the number of Remaining Days and whose denominator shall be (i)
80 multiplied by (ii) the number of days from the Effective Time
through December 31, 2001 plus the aggregate number of Force
Majeure Days that occurred between the Effective Time and the
casualty event or taking; provided that BRC's Share shall not
exceed 25/80ths. The "Remaining Days" shall be the number of days
from the casualty or taking through December 31, 2001 plus the
aggregate number of Force Majeure Days that occurred between the
Effective Time and the casualty event or taking. Such payment to
BRC shall be treated as an Earnout Payment. Upon receipt of such
payment, the obligation of the Buyer to make Earnout Payments shall
terminate.
(h) BRC shall have the right to assign its rights under
this Schedule 1.01.1 to any of its or GWEC's Affiliates, subject to
the Buyer's right of setoff.
2.02 TERMINATION.
(a) Buyer's obligation to make the Earnout Payments
shall terminate when BRC has received Earnout Payments with an
aggregate net present value (as of the Effective Time) of
$25,000,000.00 using a discount rate of 9.75% per annum. Each
Earnout Payment shall be discounted from the date it is actually
received by BRC to the Effective Time. Buyer will have the right

Example of application of the extension for Force Majeure Days
If an explosion at the Refinery shuts it down for a period of 45
days in 1996, and the deductible period for business interruption
insurance is 15 days, then the Earnout Payment period is extended
through January 15, 2002. If the explosion was not covered by
business interruption insurance, then the Earnout Payment period is
extended through February 14, 2002. In the first example, the
Force Majeure Days are 15 days since that is the period not
covered by business interruption insurance. In the second example,
the Force Majeure Days are 45 days since the incident was not
covered by business interruption insurance. In either case, the
complete cessation of production at the Refinery would reduce the
combined production level of both refineries to less than 32,000
barrels of refined products per day.
Prior to the Closing, the parties shall jointly expand Exhibit
2.01(f) to explain in reasonable detail the computation of Refinery
Margin for the Refinery and the Ciniza Refinery using the
accounting information for calendar year 1994.

date, this Agreement shall continue and be in full force and effect
in accordance with its terms and the Excluded Easements will be
deemed to not interfere with the operation or use of the Refinery
as it is now operated or used and it has been operated or used on a
historical basis, and the Excepted Easements shall be Refinery Site
Encumbrances all in accordance with this Agreement.

WATER AND WATER RIGHTS
BRC uses approximately 417 acre feet of water per year in its
refining operations. Of such amount, 340 acre feet per year have
been purchased from the Bureau of Reclamation (the "BUREAU") out of
the Navajo Reservoir and 77.838 acre feet are owned by BRC.
A. PURCHASED RIGHTS.
Prior to 1990, BRC regularly obtained one year water service
contacts from the Bureau. Since 1990, however, the Bureau has been
required by the Endangered Species Act to consult with the Fish and
Wildlife Service ("FWS") prior to entering into each new water
service contract with BRC (and other water users). As a result,
BRC has had only one water contract since April of 1990. The term
of the last water contract ran from October 21, 1992 through
October 20, 1993.
The Bureau and the FWS have been conducting an informal
consultation for close to a year in connection with BRC's proposed
water contract. In late 1994, the FWS notified the Bureau that FWS
would require formal consultation because of the likely effect of
BRC's water contract on the critical habitat of the Colorado
squawfish and the razorback sucker, which have been listed by the
EPA as endangered. The Bureau has prepared a biological assessment
of the effects of the proposed contract on the endangered species,
and has concluded that there will be no adverse effects on the
various species or their designated critical habitat. The
biological assessment prepared by the Bureau reviewed and analyzed
all relevant data from water quality testing which was done in the
area surrounding the Refinery, and found no indications of
pollutants emanating from the Refinery. This biological assessment
has been sent to the FWS for its use in preparing its official
biological opinion. FWS has a statutory time period of 90 days
(which may be extended for an additional 60 days) within which to
complete the formal consultation. FWS must deliver its biological
opinion within 45 days after formal consultation has been
completed.
Although not assured, it is likely that the final biological
opinion of the FWS will be similar to the biological opinion
prepared by FWS for the 1992 water service contract, and will
result in a "no jeopardy" finding. A "no jeopardy" finding would
permit the Bureau to enter into a water service contract with BRC.
B. OWNED RIGHTS.
BRC owns the following water rights to 77.838 acre feet of
water from the San ▇▇▇▇ River:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholder of Bloomfield Refining Company:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Bloomfield
Refining Company (a Delaware corporation), as of December 31, 1991
and 1990, and the related statements of income, retained earnings
and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Bloomfield Refining Company as of December 31, 1991 and 1990, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

BLOOMFIELD REFINING COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION
---------------------------
On August 31, 1984, Bloomfield Refining Company, a Delaware
corporation (the Company), was incorporated. The Company's primary
activities are the refining of petroleum products and gas plant
operations. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Energy Corporation (GWEC) and operates a refinery in Bloomfield, New
Mexico with a throughput capacity of 17,000 barrels per day. Effective
July 1, 1991, the Company purchased certain ownership interests in two
gas plants located in Utah and the net assets of a gas plant located in
Colorado from GWEC.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
--------------------------------------------
CASH AND TEMPORARY INVESTMENTS
------------------------------
For purposes of these statements, the Company considers
investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less
to be cash or temporary investments.
INVENTORIES
-----------
Inventories are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or
market. Inventories at December 31, 1991 and 1990 are as follows:
1991 1990
---------- ----------
Refined, unrefined and intermediate products $5,412,447 $6,861,818
Crude oil 1,411,844 1,765,125
Materials and supplies 1,074,884 982,669
---------- ----------
$7,899,175 $9,609,612
========== ==========
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
-----------------------------
The initial purchase and additions to property, plant and
equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the
straight-line method based on estimated useful lives ranging from 2 to
35 years.
Ownership interests in gas plants are recorded at cost and
proportionately consolidated for financial statement purposes.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method with estimated
useful lives ranging from 5 to 12 years.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
-----------------------------------
The Company reimburses GWEC and an affiliate for general and
administrative services relating to the supply and marketing of raw
materials and refined products and gas plant operations.
ACCRUED TURNAROUND COSTS
------------------------
Major repair and maintenance expenses (turnaround costs) are
accrued and charged to current operations in anticipation of the work
to be performed in future periods to renew the related refinery assets.
Accrued turnaround costs are classified as either current or non-
current liabilities based upon the current scheduling of major
expenditures.
(3) LONG-TERM DEBT
--------------
Long-term debt consists of the following:
Current Long-Term
Total Portion Portion
---------- ---------- ----------
Note payable to a bank (a) $7,437,500 $4,250,000 $3,187,500
Note payable-affiliate (b) 706,263 200,000 506,263
---------- ---------- ----------
December 31, 1991 $8,143,763 $4,450,000 $3,693,763
========== ========== ==========
(a) On September 4, 1991, the Company and GWEC (collectively, the
Borrower) jointly entered into an amended credit agreement whereby the
Company received loan proceeds of $8,500,000. The proceeds of the loan
were used to acquire, from GWEC, the gas plants located in Utah and
Colorado, to pay dividends to GWEC and for general corporate purposes.
On December 6, 1991, the Borrower entered into a new credit agreement
whereby loan proceeds of $7,791,667 were received and used to repay the
outstanding balance on the $8,500,000 bank term loan and whereby a new
revolving credit facility was established. Under terms of the
revolving credit facility, the Borrower may borrow up to $5,000,000 in
cash and/or issue letters of credit which in the aggregate cannot
exceed the lesser of $35,000,000 or the borrowing base. The borrowing
base, which consists principally of accounts receivable, inventory, and
exchange balances was approximately $24,000,000 and $20,000,000 as of
December 31, 1991 and March 30, 1992. The Borrower had no amounts
outstanding under the revolving credit facility, however, had issued
letters of credit totalling approximately $21,000,000 as of December
31, 1991.
The revolving credit facility and term loan bear interest at a
rate based on the bank's prime rate. Alternatively, interest rates can
be fixed for 30,60, or 90 day periods on portions of the term loan at a
floating Eurocurrency rate. At December 31, 1991, the weighted average
rate being paid was approximately 7.50%. The term notes call for
minimum monthly principal payments of $354,167 with the final payment
due in August, 1993. These loans are secured by substantially all of
the assets of the Company and, among other things, require maintenance
of certain financial covenants and ratios. The revolving credit
facility matures November 30, 1992; however, the credit agreement
allows for the Borrower to request extensions of the maturity date.
(b) The note is a 9% interest bearing non-recourse note issued in
connection with the acquisition of a partial ownership interest in a
gas plant. The note is secured by the ownership interest and is
payable over a maximum period of 15 years, ending September 30, 2001.
The monthly installments are determined by the prior month's net cash
flow. The note is payable to an affiliate.
(4) INCOME TAXES
------------
The Company and GWEC are members of a consolidated tax group which
files a consolidated federal income tax return. On January 1, 1991, an
agreement was entered into between the Company and GWEC whereby the
Company determines, on a stand alone basis, the tax liability or
benefit as if it were not a member of the tax group. The Company then
reimburses or is reimbursed by GWEC for its income tax liability or
benefit.
Deferred income taxes are provided as a result of recording income
and expenses, principally depreciation and turnaround expenses, in
different periods for financial and tax accounting purposes.
The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 96, "Accounting for Income Taxes" which was
superseded in February 1992 by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes" which
provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from
existing potential future tax benefits. The Company is required to
adopt SFAS 109 in calendar year 1993 and does not anticipate that such
adoption will have a material impact on the Company's financial
position.
(5) OPERATING REVENUES AND EXPENSES BY SEGMENTS
--------------------------------------------
The following segment information reflects operating revenues,
operating expenses and gross margins for the twelve months ended

(6) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
--------------------------
Effective July 1, 1991, a supply and marketing service agreement
was entered into between the Company and GWEC, whereas GWEC purchases
crude oil and other raw materials for resale to the Company, at cost,
for processing at the refinery. The intercompany purchase of raw
materials include all amounts legally accrued and owing by GWEC to
third parties, including prepayments and offsite inventory. Also, the
Company sells refined petroleum products to GWEC, at market, for resale
by GWEC. For the supply and marketing services provided by GWEC, the
Company pays a management fee pursuant to the terms of a management
agreement. Prior to July 1, 1991, GWEC sold crude oil and raw
materials to the Company at cost plus $.01 per gallon and purchased
refined products from the Company at market less $.01 per gallon.
(7) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
----------------------
The Company has a profit sharing plan (defined contribution plan)
covering certain non-union employees who meet eligibility requirements
as to age and length of service. Contributions to the plan are
determined annually by the Company. Contributions of $162,515 and
$67,050 were accrued for the twelve months ended December 31, 1991 and
1990, respectively.
The Company has a defined benefit pension plan for union
employees. The benefits are based on a percentage of the employee's
final earnings, as defined, and years of credited service, up to a
maximum of 30 years. The Company's funding policy is to contribute
annually an amount to fund normal cost and amortize unfunded actuarial
liabilities over 19 years. Plan assets at December 31, 1991 and 1990
consist primarily of private and public debt and equity investments.
The following table sets forth the funded status and amounts
recognized in the Company's statements of financial position and income
at December 31, 1991 and 1990:

========= =========
The discount rate used in determining the actuarial present value
of the projected benefit obligation was 6.75% and 7.499% for 1991 and
1990, respectively. The average rate of increase in future
compensation levels and the expected long-term rate of return on
pension plan assets was 0% and 9.0%, respectively in both years.
(8) MAJOR CUSTOMERS
---------------
During the years ended December 31, 1991 and 1990, the Company
sold 100% of the refined products to GWEC. Also, during that period,
the Company purchased 100% of the crude oil and raw materials from
GWEC.
(9) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
-----------------------------
The Company paid (received) a retainer fee to (from) a third party
based on 5% of the net income (loss) before taxes. This fee is
included in general and administrative expenses and was $(22,207) and
$550,300 for the years ended December 31, 1991 and 1990, respectively.
Effective February 1, 1991, this agreement was terminated and new
agreements were entered into between GWEC and affiliates of the third
party providing for payment of consulting fees of $50,000 per month
until January 31, 1992 and $15,000 per calendar quarter from 1992 to
2001. In addition, a retainer fee of $1,000,000, plus interest, is
payable for services to be provided in 1992 and 1993.
The Company is subject to various environmental and other
regulations primarily administered by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency, the New Mexico Health and Environmental Department
and the New Mexico Environmental Improvement Division. Management of
the Company believes it has complied with all aspects associated with
these regulations.
A Company affiliate entered into a ten year lease agreement for
office space in November 1989. The Company has guaranteed the
performance of the affiliate's obligations. Terms of the lease provide
for annual rentals of $396,000 in the second year and escalating to
$796,000 in years six through ten. In addition to the rent, the
Company has guaranteed the annual payment of $276,000 in occupancy
costs with provisions for escalation based on actual expenses. The
total estimated costs for rentals and operating expenses for 1992
amounts to $735,000.

BLOOMFIELD REFINING COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION
---------------------------
Organization
------------
On August 31, 1984, Bloomfield Refining Company, a Delaware
corporation (the Company), was incorporated. The Company's primary
activities are the refining of petroleum products and gas plant
operations. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Energy Corporation (GWEC) and operates a refinery in Bloomfield, New
Mexico with a throughput capacity of 17,000 barrels per day. Effective
July 1, 1991, the Company purchased certain ownership interests in two
gas plants located in Utah and the net assets of a gas plant located in
Colorado from GWEC.
Gas Plants
----------
On August 7, 1992, the Company purchased an additional twenty-six
percent (26%) undivided interest in a gas plant GWEC operates in Uintah
and Duchesne Counties, Utah for cash and a promissory note, paid in
full in September, 1992. Net ownership income of $455,750, including
interest expense, from the effective date of the purchase, March 1,
1992, through July 31, 1992 relating to the increased ownership
interest was offset against the gross purchase price of $2,550,000.
On December 8, 1992, the Company increased its ownership interest
in the same gas plant GWEC operates in Uintah and Duchesne Counties,
Utah to forty-five percent (45%) by purchasing another ten percent
(10%) undivided interest from a third party. Net ownership income of
$134,508 from the effective date of the purchase, September 1, 1992,
through November 30, 1992 relating to the increased ownership interest
was offset against the gross purchase price of $612,168.
During 1992, the Company sold all rights, title and interest in a
gas plant gathering system, an extraction plant, and certain related
equipment and appurtenances located in Colorado to third parties for
$3,296,943, resulting in a gain on sale of gas plant assets of
$1,495,553.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
--------------------------------------------
Cash and Temporary Investments
------------------------------
For purposes of these statements, the Company considers
investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less
to be cash or temporary investments.
Inventories
-----------
Inventories are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or
market. Inventories at December 31, 1992 and December 31, 1991 are as
follows:
December 31, December 31,
1992 1991

---------- ----------
$7,861,852 $7,899,175
========== ==========
Property, Plant and Equipment
-----------------------------
The initial purchase and additions to property, plant and
equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the
straight-line method based on estimated useful lives ranging from 2 to
35 years.
Ownership interests in gas plants are recorded at cost and
proportionately consolidated for financial statement purposes.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method with estimated
useful lives ranging from 5 to 10 years.
General and Administrative Expenses
-----------------------------------
The Company reimburses GWEC and an affiliate for general and
administrative services relating to the supply and marketing of raw
materials and refined products and gas plant operations.
Accrued Turnaround Costs
------------------------
Major repair and maintenance expenses (turnaround costs) are
accrued and charged to current operations in anticipation of the work
to be performed in future periods to renew the related refinery assets.
Accrued turnaround costs are classified as either current or non-
current liabilities based upon the scheduling of major expenditures.
Reclassifications
-----------------
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with
the current year presentation.
(3) LONG-TERM DEBT

Note payable-affiliate (b) 706,263 200,000 506,263
---------- ---------- ----------
December 31, 1991 $8,143,763 $4,450,000 $3,693,763
========== ========== ==========
(a) The Company has a revolving credit facility with a bank under
which it may borrow up to $5,000,000 in cash and/or issue letters of
credit which in the aggregate cannot exceed the lesser of $35,000,000
or the borrowing base. The borrowing base, which consists principally
of accounts receivable, inventory, and exchange balances was
approximately $22,000,000 and $24,000,000 as of December 31, 1992 and
1991. The Company had no amounts outstanding under the revolving
credit facility, however, letters of credit totalling approximately
$18,000,000 and $21,000,000 had been issued as of December 31, 1992 and
1991.
The revolving credit facility and term loan bear interest at a
rate based on the bank's prime rate. Alternatively, interest rates can
be fixed for 30, 60, or 90 day periods on portions of the term loan at
a floating Eurocurrency rate. At December 31, 1992 and 1991, the
weighted average rate being paid was approximately 6.50% and 7.50%,
respectively. The term notes call for minimum monthly principal
payments of $354,167 with the final payment due in August, 1993. These
loans are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company
and, among other things, require maintenance of certain financial
covenants and ratios. The revolving credit facility matures August 31,
1993; however, the credit agreement provides for extensions of the
maturity date.
On October 15, 1992, the credit agreement was amended to allow the
Company to draw up to $7,000,000 by December 31, 1993, for capital
projects (see Note 9) at the Bloomfield refinery at an interest rate of
2% over prime. This loan will be amortized monthly over two years
beginning the earlier of January, 1994, or the month following
completion of the projects at which time the interest rate is reduced
to 1.50% over prime. No amounts had been drawn on this note as of
December 31, 1992 and as of March 30, 1993, $1,700,000 has been drawn.
(b) The note was a 9% interest bearing non-recourse note issued in
connection with the acquisition of a partial ownership interest in a
gas plant. The note was secured by the ownership interest and in June,
1992, the note was paid in full.
(4) INCOME TAXES
------------
The Company and GWEC are members of a consolidated tax group which
files a consolidated federal income tax return. On January 1, 1991, an
agreement was entered into between the Company and GWEC whereby the
Company determines, on a stand alone basis, the tax liability or
benefit as if it were not a member of the tax group. The Company then
reimburses or is reimbursed by GWEC for its income tax liability or
benefit.
Deferred income taxes are provided as a result of recording income
and expenses, principally depreciation and turnaround expenses, in
different periods for financial and tax accounting purposes.
The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 96, "Accounting for Income Taxes" which was
superseded in February 1992 by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes" which
provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from
existing potential future tax benefits. The Company is required to
adopt SFAS 109 in calendar year 1993 and does not anticipate that such
adoption will have a material impact on the Company's financial
position.
(5) OPERATING REVENUES AND EXPENSES BY SEGMENTS

============ ========== ============
(6) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
--------------------------
Effective July 1, 1991, a supply and marketing service agreement
was entered into between the Company and GWEC, whereas GWEC purchases
crude oil and other raw materials for resale to the Company, at cost,
for processing at the refinery. The intercompany purchase of raw
materials include all amounts legally accrued and owing by GWEC to
third parties, including prepayments and offsite inventory. Also, the
Company sells refined petroleum products to GWEC, at market, for resale
by GWEC. For the supply and marketing services provided by GWEC, the
Company pays a management fee pursuant to the terms of a management
agreement. Prior to July 1, 1991, GWEC sold crude oil and raw
materials to the Company at cost plus $.01 per gallon and purchased
refined products from the Company at market less $.01 per gallon.
On December 1, 1992, the Company guaranteed the payment by GWEC of
an aggregate maximum at any one time of $2,000,000 of present and/or
future indebtedness owed to a third party crude supplier.
(7) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
----------------------
The Company has a profit sharing plan (defined contribution plan)
covering certain non-union employees who meet eligibility requirements
as to age and length of service. Contributions to the plan are
determined annually by the Company. Contributions of $169,002 and
$162,515 were accrued for the years ended December 31, 1992 and
December 31, 1991, respectively.
The Company has a defined benefit pension plan for union
employees. The benefits are based on a percentage of the employee's
final earnings, as defined, and years of credited service, up to a
maximum of 30 years. The Company's funding policy is to contribute
annually an amount to fund normal cost and amortize unfunded actuarial
liabilities over 19 years. Plan assets at December 31, 1992 and 1991
consist primarily of private and public debt and equity investments.
The following table sets forth the funded status and amounts
recognized in the Company's statements of financial position and
operations at December 31, 1992 and 1991:

(8) MAJOR CUSTOMERS
---------------
During the years ended December 31, 1992 and 1991, the Company
sold 100% of the refined products to GWEC. Also, during that period,
the Company purchased 100% of the crude oil and raw materials from
GWEC.
(9) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
-----------------------------
The Company paid (received) a retainer fee to (from) a third party
based on 5% of the net income (loss) before taxes. This fee is
included in general and administrative expenses. Effective February 1,
1991, this agreement was terminated and new agreements were entered
into between GWEC and affiliates of the third party providing for
payment of consulting fees of $15,000 per calendar quarter from 1992 to
2001. In addition, a retainer fee of $1,000,000 was paid by GWEC and
reimbursed by the Company for services to be provided in 1992 and 1993
and is being amortized on a straight-line basis.
The Company is subject to various environmental and other
regulations primarily administered by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency, the New Mexico Health and Environmental Department
and the New Mexico Environmental Improvement Division. Management of
the Company believes it has complied with all aspects associated with
these regulations. In December, 1992 the Company entered into an
administrative order with the Environmental Protection Agency to
perform certain environmental work. An environmental liability reserve
in the amount of $362,000 was accrued in 1992 for work to be performed
in 1993 to assess the nature of any environmental cleanup requirements
at the refinery.
A Company affiliate entered into a ten year lease agreement for
office space in November 1989. The Company has guaranteed the
performance of the affiliate's obligations. Terms of the lease provide
for annual rentals of $396,000 in the second year and escalating to
$796,000 in years six through ten. In addition to the rent, the
Company has guaranteed the annual payment of $276,000 in occupancy
costs with provisions for escalation based on actual expenses. The
total estimated costs for rentals and operating expenses for 1993
amounts to $799,000.
In December, 1992, the Company engaged a contractor to engineer,
fabricate and install a diesel desulfurization unit to be operational
at the refinery in 1993 for a total contract price of $3,646,391
exclusive of any applicable sales and/or use taxes and subject to
adjustment for any changes in the work directive.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION
---------------------------
Organization
------------
On August 31, 1984, Bloomfield Refining Company, a Delaware
corporation (the Company), was incorporated. The Company's primary
activities are the refining of petroleum products and gas plant
operations. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Energy Corporation (GWEC). The Company operates a
refinery in Bloomfield, New Mexico with a throughput capacity of
17,000 barrels per day and has ownership interests in two gas
plants located in Utah.
Gas Plants
----------
On August 7, 1992, the Company purchased an additional
twenty-six percent (26%) undivided interest in a gas plant GWEC
operates in Uintah and Duchesne Counties, Utah for cash and a
promissory note, paid in full in September, 1992. Net ownership
income of $455,750, including interest expense, from the effective
date of the purchase, March 1, 1992, through July 31, 1992 relating
to the increased ownership interest was offset against the gross
purchase price of $2,550,000.
On December 8, 1992, the Company increased its ownership
interest in the same gas plant GWEC operates in Uintah and Duchesne
Counties, Utah to approximately forty-eight percent (48%) by
purchasing another ten percent (10%) undivided interest from a
third party. Net ownership income of $134,508 from the effective
date of the purchase, September 1, 1992, through November 30, 1992,
relating to the increased ownership interest was offset against the
gross purchase price of $612,168.
During 1992, the Company sold all rights, title and interest in
a gas plant gathering system, an extraction plant, and certain
related equipment and appurtenances located in Colorado to third
parties, resulting in a gain on sale of gas plant assets of
$1,495,553.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
------------------------------------------
Cash and Temporary Investments
------------------------------
For purposes of these statements, the Company considers
investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or
less to be cash or temporary investments.
Inventories
-----------
Inventories are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out
cost or market. Inventories at December 31, 1993 and 1992, are as
follows:
December 31, December 31,
1993 1992
----------- -----------
Refined, unrefined and intermediate products $3,692,757 $5,361,150
Crude oil 1,432,350 1,580,418
Materials and supplies 920,919 920,284
---------- ----------
$6,046,026 $7,861,852
========== ==========
Property, Plant and Equipment
-----------------------------
The initial purchase and additions to property, plant and
equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the
straight-line method based on estimated useful lives ranging from 2
to 35 years, with an average life of approximately 19 years.
Ownership interests in gas plants are recorded at cost and
proportionately consolidated for financial statement purposes.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method with
estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 10 years, with an average
life of approximately 7 years.
General and Administrative Expenses
-----------------------------------
The Company reimburses GWEC for general and administrative
services relating to the supply and marketing of raw materials and
refined products and gas plant operations.
Accrued Turnaround Costs
------------------------
Major repair and maintenance expenses (turnaround costs) are
accrued and charged to current operations in anticipation of the
work to be performed in future periods to renew the related
refinery assets. Accrued turnaround costs are classified as either
current or non-current liabilities based upon the scheduling of
major expenditures.
Capitalized Interest
--------------------
The Company capitalizes interest on debt associated with the
financing of capital construction projects. During 1993, interest
of $109,480 was capitalized to property, plant and equipment.
Reclassifications
-----------------
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform
with the current year presentation.
(3) LONG-TERM DEBT
--------------
The Company has a revolving credit facility with a bank under
which it may borrow up to $5,000,000 in cash and/or issue letters
of credit which in the aggregate cannot exceed the lesser of
$35,000,000 or the borrowing base. The borrowing base, which
consists principally of accounts receivable, inventory, and
exchange balances was approximately $18,000,000 and $22,000,000 as
of December 31, 1993 and 1992. The Company had no amounts
outstanding under the revolving credit facility, however, letters
of credit totalling approximately $14,000,000 and $18,000,000 had
been issued as of December 31, 1993 and 1992.
The revolving credit facility and a related term loan facility
bear interest at a rate based on the bank's prime rate.
Alternatively, interest rates can be fixed for 30, 60, or 90 day
periods on portions of the term loan at a floating Eurocurrency
rate. The term notes called for minimum monthly principal payments
of $354,167 with the final payment due in August, 1993; however,
the Company prepaid the loan in June, 1993. At December 31, 1992,
the weighted average interest rate being paid was approximately
6.5%. The credit facility and related term loan are secured by
substantially all of the assets of the Company and, among other
things, requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants and
ratios. The revolving credit facility matures November 15, 1994;
however, the credit agreement provides for extensions of the
maturity date.
The Company borrowed $3,000,000 for capital projects at the
Bloomfield refinery pursuant to an October 15, 1992 amendment to
the credit agreement. Interest is based on the bank's prime rate
or alternatively, interest rates can be fixed for 30, 60 or 90 day
periods on portions of the term loan at a floating Eurocurrency
rate. At December 31, 1993, the weighted average interest rate
being paid was approximately 6.2%. This loan is being amortized
monthly over two years commencing December, 1993. Additional loan
payments are required when operating cash flows exceed levels as
defined in the credit agreement. However, the entire balance has
been classified as current in the accompanying financial statements
as management expectS to pay the entire balance before December
31, 1994.
(4) INCOME TAXES
------------
The Company and GWEC are members of a consolidated tax group
which files a consolidated federal income tax return. An agreement
was entered into between the Company and GWEC whereby the Company
determines, on a stand alone basis, the tax liability or benefit as
if it were not a member of the tax group. The Company then
reimburses GWEC for its income tax liability. The Company is
entitled to be reimbursed by GWEC for its income tax benefit when
the Company could otherwise have utilized such benefit on a stand
alone basis.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes", (SFAS 109). SFAS 109 requires that deferred
income taxes be recognized for the differences between the tax and
financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities at each year-
end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amount expected to be realized. The adoption of SFAS
109 had no material impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1993.
The net deferred tax liability as of December 31, 1993 consists of
the following:
Gross deferred tax assets $ (606,640)
Gross deferred tax liabilities 2,065,440
----------
1,458,800
Valuation allowance ---
----------
Net deferred tax liability $1,458,800
==========
Deferred tax assets and liabilities result primarily from
inventory costs capitalized for tax, accounting reserves and from
recording depreciation and turnaround expenses in different periods
for financial and tax accounting purposes. In management's
opinion, it is more likely than not that the gross deferred tax
assets will be realized based on past earnings history.
The difference between the Company's tax provision at the
federal statutory rate and the effective rate for the years ended
December 31, 1993 and 1992 is due primarily to state income taxes.
(5) OPERATING REVENUES AND EXPENSES BY SEGMENTS
--------------------------------------------
The following segment information reflects operating revenues,
operating expenses and gross margins for the years ended December
31, 1993 and 1992.

Gross Margin $ 18,082,493 $1,318,684 $ 19,401,177
============ ========== ============
(6) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
--------------------------
A supply and marketing service agreement was entered into
between the Company and GWEC, whereas GWEC purchases crude oil and
other raw materials for resale to the Company, at cost, for
processing at the refinery. The intercompany purchase of raw
materials includes all amounts accrued and owing by GWEC to third
parties, including prepayments and offsite inventory. Also, the
Company sells refined petroleum products to GWEC, at market, for
resale by GWEC.
On December 1, 1993 and 1992, the Company guaranteed the
payment of GWEC of an aggregate maximum at any one time of
$2,000,000 of present and/or future indebtedness owed to a third
party crude supplier.
(7) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
----------------------
The Company has a profit sharing plan (defined contribution
plan) covering certain non-union employees who meet eligibility
requirements as to age and length of service. Contributions to the
plan are determined annually by the Company. Contributions of
$173,139 and $169,002 were accrued for the years ended December 31,
1993 and December 31, 1992, respectively.
The Company also has a defined benefit pension plan for union
employees. The benefits are based on a percentage of the
employee's final earnings, as defined, and years of credited
service, up to a maximum of 30 years. The Company's funding policy
is to contribute annually an amount to fund normal cost and
amortize unfunded actuarial liabilities over 19 years. Plan assets
at December 31, 1993 and 1992 consist primarily of private and
public debt and equity investments.
The following table sets forth the funded status and amounts
recognized in the Company's statements of financial position and
operations at December 31, 1993 and 1992:
1993 1992
--------- ---------
Actuarial present value of benefit obligations:
Accumulated benefit obligation, including
vested benefits of $406,405 and $364,702 at

Service cost $ 49,580 $ 35,988
Interest cost 23,202 18,060
Actual return on plan assets (31,641) (18,597)
Net amortization and deferral of other components 20,237 6,712
--------- ---------
Net periodic pension cost $ 61,378 $ 42,163
========= =========
The discount rate used in determining the actuarial present value
of the projected benefit obligation was 6.00% and 5.75% for 1993 and
1992, respectively. The average rate of increase in future
compensation levels was 0% and the expected long-term rate of return on
pension plan assets was 8.0% and 9.0% in 1993 and 1992, respectively.
(8) MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS
-----------------------------
During the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, the Company
sold 100% of the refined products to GWEC. Also, during that period,
the Company purchased 100% of the crude oil and raw materials from
GWEC.
(9) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
-----------------------------
The Company is subject to certain environmental and other
regulations primarily administered by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency and various state agencies. Management of the
Company believes it has complied with all material aspects associated
with these regulations. In December, 1992, the Company entered into an
administrative order with the Environmental Protection Agency to
perform certain environmental work. An environmental liability reserve
in the amount of $362,000 was accrued in 1992 for work to be performed
in 1993 and 1994 to assess the nature of any environmental cleanup
requirements at the refinery. As of December 31, 1993, the cash outlay
recorded against the reserve was $87,759.
The Company is subject to various claims and business disputes in
the ordinary course of business. Management does not anticipate that
the ultimate outcome of these issues will have a material impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
An affiliate of the Company entered into a ten year lease
agreement for office space in November 1989. The Company has
guaranteed the performance of the affiliate's obligations. Terms of
the lease provide for annual rentals of $490,000 in the fourth year
(1993) and escalating to $796,000 in years six through ten. In
addition to the rent, the Company has guaranteed the annual payment of
$276,000 in occupancy costs with provisions for escalation based on
actual expenses. The total estimated costs for rentals and operating
expenses for 1994 amounts to $871,000. Currently, the affiliate of the
Company is subleasing certain office space to a third party and a
related party.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION
---------------------------
Organization
------------
On August 31, 1984, Bloomfield Refining Company, a Delaware
corporation (the Company), was incorporated. The Company's primary
activities are the refining of petroleum products and gas plant
operations. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Energy Corporation (GWEC). The Company operates a
refinery in Bloomfield, New Mexico with a throughput capacity of
17,000 barrels per day and has ownership interests in two gas
plants located in Utah.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
------------------------------------------
Cash and Temporary Investments
------------------------------
For purposes of these statements, the Company considers
investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or
less to be cash or temporary investments. Temporary investments
consist primarily of certificates of deposit and commercial paper.
These securities are classified as held to maturity investments as
defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115. At
December 31, 1994 and 1993, these securities are recorded at a
market value of $7,663,000 and $8,520,000, respectively. Realized
gains and losses from sales of these securities are included in
interest income in the accompanying statements of operations. The
net unrealized gain or loss on these securities was not material as
of December 31, 1994 and 1993.
Inventories
-----------
Inventories are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out
cost or market. Inventories at December 31, 1994 and 1993 are as
follows:
December 31, December 31,
1994 1993
----------- -----------
Refined, unrefined and intermediate products $4,181,728 $3,692,757
Crude oil 2,811,004 1,432,350
Materials and supplies 895,094 920,919
---------- ----------
$7,887,826 $6,046,026
========== ==========
Property, Plant and Equipment
-----------------------------
The initial purchase and additions to property, plant and
equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the
straight-line method based on estimated useful lives ranging from 2
to 35 years, with an average initial life of approximately 19
years.
Ownership interests in gas plants are recorded at cost and
proportionately consolidated for financial statement purposes.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method with
estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 10 years, with an average
initial life of approximately 7 years.
General and Administrative Expenses
-----------------------------------
The Company reimburses GWEC for general and administrative
services relating to the supply and marketing of raw materials and
refined products and gas plant operations.
Accrued Turnaround Costs
------------------------
Major repair and maintenance expenses (turnaround costs) are
accrued and charged to current operations in anticipation of the
work to be performed in future periods to renew the related
refinery assets. Accrued turnaround costs are classified as either
current or non-current liabilities based upon the scheduling of
major expenditures.
Capitalized Interest
--------------------
The Company capitalizes interest on debt associated with the
financing of capital construction projects. During 1993 interest
of $109,480 was capitalized to property, plant and equipment. No
such interest was capitalized during 1994.
Reclassifications
-----------------
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for
consistency with the current year presentation.
(3) LONG-TERM DEBT
--------------
The Company has a revolving credit facility, as amended, with
a group of banks under which it may borrow up to $8,000,000 in cash
and/or issue letters of credit which in the aggregate cannot exceed
the lesser of $35,000,000 or the borrowing base. The borrowing
base, which consists principally of accounts receivable, inventory,
exchange balances and unused outstanding letters of credit was
approximately $21,000,000 and $18,000,000 as of December 31, 1994
and 1993. The Company had no amounts outstanding under the
revolving credit facility, however, letters of credit totaling
approximately $20,000,000 and $14,000,000 had been issued as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993. Borrowings under the revolving credit
facility bear interest at a rate based on the bank's prime rate.
The credit facility is secured by substantially all of the
assets of the Company and, among other things, requires the
maintenance of certain financial covenants and ratios. The
revolving credit facility matures June 1, 1996; however, the credit
agreement provides for extensions of the maturity date.
The Company borrowed $3,000,000 in 1993 for capital projects
at the Bloomfield refinery pursuant to an amendment to the credit
agreement. Interest was based on the bank's prime rate or
alternatively, interest rates could be fixed for 30, 60 or 90 day
periods on portions of the term loan at a floating Eurocurrency
rate. At December 31, 1993, the weighted average interest rate
being paid was approximately 6.2%. The entire balance was paid
during 1994.
(4) INCOME TAXES
------------
The Company and GWEC are members of a consolidated tax group
which files a consolidated federal income tax return. An agreement
was entered into between the Company and GWEC whereby the Company
determines, on a stand alone basis, the tax liability or benefit as
if it were not a member of the tax group. The Company then
reimburses GWEC for its current income tax liability on a quarterly
basis. Deferred income taxes are paid to GWEC periodically. The
Company is entitled to be reimbursed by GWEC for its income tax
benefit when the Company could otherwise have utilized such benefit
on a stand alone basis.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes", (SFAS 109). SFAS 109 requires that deferred
income taxes be recognized for the differences between the tax and
financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities at each year-
end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amount expected to be realized. The adoption of SFAS
109 had no material impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1993.
The net deferred tax liability consists of the following:
December 31, December 31,
1994 1993
------------ ------------
Gross deferred tax assets $(1,090,700) $ (606,640)
Gross deferred tax liabilities 2,798,300 2,065,440
----------- -----------
1,707,600 1,458,800
Payments to affiliate (523,100) ---
Valuation allowance --- ---
----------- -----------
Net deferred tax liability $ 1,184,500 $ 1,458,800
=========== ===========
Deferred tax assets and liabilities result primarily from
inventory costs capitalized for tax, accounting reserves and from
recording depreciation and turnaround expenses in different periods
for financial and tax accounting purposes. In management's
opinion, it is more likely than not that the gross deferred tax
assets will be realized based on past earnings history.
The difference between the Company's tax provision at the
federal statutory rate and the effective rate for the years ended
December 31, 1994 and 1993 is due primarily to state income taxes.
Tax Deficiency
--------------
The Internal Revenue Service concluded a field audit of the
consolidated tax group's income tax return for the fiscal year 1990
resulting in a "Notice of Deficiency" for that fiscal year.
Proposed adjustments to income and tax credits resulted in a
proposed tax deficiency of approximately $4,800,000 plus penalties.
The Company filed a petition with the United States Tax Court
contesting the notice and believes that it has meritorious legal
defenses to the proposed tax deficiency, but the ultimate outcome
of the Tax Court case is uncertain.

--------------------------
A supply and marketing service agreement was entered into
between the Company and GWEC, whereby GWEC purchases crude oil and
other raw materials for resale to the Company, at cost, for
processing at the refinery. The intercompany purchase of raw
materials include all amounts accrued and owing by GWEC to third
parties, including prepayments and offsite inventory. Also, the
Company sells refined petroleum products to GWEC, at market, for
resale by GWEC.
The Company has guaranteed the payment by GWEC of an aggregate
maximum at any one time of $2,000,000 of present and/or future
indebtedness owed to a third party crude oil supplier.
(7) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
----------------------
The Company has a profit sharing plan (defined contribution
plan) covering certain non-union employees who meet eligibility
requirements as to age and length of service. Contributions to the
plan are determined annually by the Company. Contributions of
$187,357 and $173,139 were accrued for the years ended December 31,
1994 and 1993, respectively.
The Company also has a defined benefit pension plan for union
employees. The Company's funding policy is to contribute annually
an amount to fund normal cost and amortize unfunded actuarial
liabilities over 19 years. Plan assets at December 31, 1994 and
1993 consist primarily of private and public debt and equity
investments.
In prior years, benefits were based on a percentage of the
employee's earnings, as defined, as of June 1, 1990, and years of
credited service up to a maximum of 30 years. In 1994, the plan
was amended to base benefits on a percentage of the employee's
earnings as of June 1, 1993.
The following table sets forth the funded status and amounts
recognized in the Company's statements of financial position and
operations at December 31, 1994 and 1993, for the defined benefit
pension plan:

Prior service cost not yet recognized 77,483 14,091
Unrecognized net loss from past experience different from
that assumed and effects of changes in assumptions 70,391 160,797
Adjustment to recognize minimum liability (156,800) (184,478)
--------- ---------
Accrued pension liability included in other liabilities $(130,312) $(151,359)
========= =========

Service cost $ 55,079 $ 49,580
Interest cost 29,266 23,202
Actual return on plan assets 6,557 (31,641)
Net amortization and deferral of other components (19,922) 20,237
--------- ---------
Net periodic pension cost $ 70,980 $ 61,378
========= =========
The discount rate used in determining the actuarial present value
of the projected benefit obligation was 7.0% for 1994 and 6.0% for
1993. The expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets was
8.0% in 1994 and 1993.
(8) MAJOR CUSTOMERS
---------------
During the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company
sold 100% of the refined products to GWEC. Also, during that period,
the Company purchased 100% of the crude oil and raw materials from
GWEC.
(9) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
-----------------------------
The Company is subject to certain environmental and other
regulations primarily administered by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (E.P.A.) and various state agencies. Management of
the Company believes it has complied with all material aspects
associated with these regulations. The Company entered into an
administrative order with the E.P.A. to perform a study to assess the
nature of any environmental cleanup requirements at the refinery which
was substantially completed in 1994. Management is currently
evaluating the E.P.A.'s response and is uncertain as to what, if any,
additional costs may be required.
The Company is subject to various claims and business disputes in
the ordinary course of business. Management does not anticipate that
the ultimate outcome of these issues will have a material impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
An affiliate of the Company entered into a ten year lease
agreement for office space in November 1989. The Company has
guaranteed the performance of the affiliate's obligations. Terms of
the lease provided for annual rent of $553,000 in 1994 and escalating
to $796,000 in years six through ten. In addition to the rent, the
Company has guaranteed the annual payment of $318,000 in occupancy
costs with provisions for escalation based on actual expenses.
Currently, the affiliate of the Company is subleasing certain office
space to a third party and a related party.

BLOOMFIELD REFINING COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION
---------------------------
Organization
------------
On August 31, 1984, Bloomfield Refining Company, a Delaware
corporation (the Company), was incorporated. The Company's primary
activities are the refining of petroleum products and gas plant
operations. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Energy Corporation (GWEC). The Company operates a
refinery in Bloomfield, New Mexico with a throughput capacity of
17,000 barrels per day and has ownership interests in two gas
plants located in Utah.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
------------------------------------------
Cash and Temporary Investments
------------------------------
For purposes of these statements, the Company considers
investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or
less to be cash or temporary investments. Temporary investments
consist primarily of commercial paper and money market funds.
These securities are classified as held to maturity investments as
defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115. At
March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, these securities are recorded
at a market value of $2,082,000 and $7,663,000, respectively.
Realized gains and losses from sales of these securities are
included in interest income in the accompanying statements of
operations. The net unrealized gain or loss on these securities
was not material as of March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994.
Inventories
-----------
Inventories are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out
cost or market. Inventories at March 31, 1995 and December 31,
1994 are as follows:
March 31, December 31,
1995 1994
----------- -----------
Refined, unrefined and intermediate products $5,276,421 $4,181,728
Crude oil 2,985,248 2,811,004
Materials and supplies 881,653 895,094
---------- ----------
$9,143,322 $7,887,826
========== ==========
Property, Plant and Equipment
-----------------------------
The initial purchase and additions to property, plant and
equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the
straight-line method based on estimated useful lives ranging from 2
to 35 years, with an average initial life of approximately 19
years.
Ownership interests in gas plants are recorded at cost and
proportionately consolidated for financial statement purposes.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method with
estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 10 years, with an average
initial life of approximately 7 years.
General and Administrative Expenses
-----------------------------------
The Company reimburses GWEC for general and administrative
services relating to the supply and marketing of raw materials and
refined products and gas plant operations.
Accrued Turnaround Costs
------------------------
Major repair and maintenance expenses (turnaround costs) are
accrued and charged to current operations in anticipation of the
work to be performed in future periods to renew the related
refinery assets. Accrued turnaround costs are classified as either
current or non-current liabilities based upon the scheduling of
major expenditures.
Capitalized Interest
--------------------
The Company capitalizes interest on debt associated with the
financing of capital construction projects. No interest was
capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 1995 or during
1994.
Reclassifications
-----------------
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for
consistency with the current year presentation.
(3) LONG-TERM DEBT
--------------
The Company has a revolving credit facility, as amended, with
a group of banks under which it may borrow up to $8,000,000 in cash
and/or issue letters of credit which in the aggregate cannot exceed
the lesser of $35,000,000 or the borrowing base. The borrowing
base, which consists principally of accounts receivable, inventory,
exchange balances and unused outstanding letters of credit was
approximately $29,000,000 and $21,000,000 as of March 31, 1995 and
December 31, 1994. The Company had no amounts outstanding under
the revolving credit facility, however, letters of credit totaling
approximately $23,000,000 and $20,000,000 had been issued as of
March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994. Borrowings under the
revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate based on the
bank's prime rate.
The credit facility is secured by substantially all of the
assets of the Company and, among other things, requires the
maintenance of certain financial covenants and ratios. The
revolving credit facility matures June 1, 1996; however, the credit
agreement provides for extensions of the maturity date.
The Company borrowed $3,000,000 in 1993 for capital projects
at the Bloomfield refinery pursuant to an amendment to the credit
agreement. The entire balance was paid during 1994.
(4) INCOME TAXES
------------
The Company and GWEC are members of a consolidated tax group
which files a consolidated federal income tax return. An agreement
was entered into between the Company and GWEC whereby the Company
determines, on a stand alone basis, the tax liability or benefit as
if it were not a member of the tax group. The Company then
reimburses GWEC for its current income tax liability on a quarterly
basis. Deferred income taxes are paid to GWEC periodically. The
Company is entitled to be reimbursed by GWEC for its income tax
benefit when the Company could otherwise have utilized such benefit
on a stand alone basis.
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the differences
between the tax and financial reporting bases of assets and
liabilities at each period-end based on enacted tax laws and
statutory tax rates. Valuation allowances are established when
necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to
be realized.
The net deferred tax liability consists of the following:
March 31, December 31,
1995 1994
------------ ------------
Gross deferred tax assets $(1,212,600) $(1,090,700)
Gross deferred tax liabilities 2,929,700 2,798,300
----------- -----------
1,717,100 1,707,600
Payments to affiliate (1,707,600) (523,100)
Valuation allowance --- ---
----------- -----------
Net deferred tax liability $ 9,500 $ 1,184,500
=========== ===========
Deferred tax assets and liabilities result primarily from
inventory costs capitalized for tax, accounting reserves and from
recording depreciation and turnaround expenses in different periods
for financial and tax accounting purposes. In management's
opinion, it is more likely than not that the gross deferred tax
assets will be realized based on past earnings history.
The difference between the Company's tax provision at the
federal statutory rate and the effective rate is due primarily to
state income taxes.
Tax Deficiency
--------------
The Internal Revenue Service concluded a field audit of the
consolidated tax group's income tax return for the fiscal year 1990
resulting in a "Notice of Deficiency" for that fiscal year.
Proposed adjustments to income and tax credits resulted in a
proposed tax deficiency of approximately $4,800,000 plus penalties.
The Company filed a petition with the United States Tax Court
contesting the notice and believes that it has meritorious legal
defenses to the proposed tax deficiency, but the ultimate outcome
of the Tax Court case is uncertain.

as defined, as of June 1, 1993, and years of credited service up to
a maximum of 30 years.
The following table sets forth the funded status and amounts
recognized in the Company's statements of financial position and
operations at December 31, 1994 for the defined benefit pension plan:

(8) MAJOR CUSTOMERS
---------------
During the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, the
Company sold 100% of the refined products to GWEC. Also, during
that period, the Company purchased 100% of the crude oil and raw
materials from GWEC.
(9) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
-----------------------------
The Company is subject to certain environmental and other
regulations primarily administered by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (E.P.A.) and various state
agencies. Management of the Company believes it has complied with
all material aspects associated with these regulations. The
Company entered into an administrative order with the E.P.A. to
perform a study to assess the nature of any environmental cleanup
requirements at the refinery which was substantially completed in
1994. Management is currently evaluating the E.P.A.'s response and
is uncertain as to what, if any, additional costs may be required.
The Company is subject to various claims and business disputes
in the ordinary course of business. Management does not anticipate
that the ultimate outcome of these issues will have a material
impact on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
An affiliate of the Company entered into a ten year lease
agreement for office space in November 1989. The Company has
guaranteed the performance of the affiliate's obligations. Terms
of the lease provided for annual rent of $796,000 in 1995 through
1999. In addition to the rent, the Company has guaranteed the
annual payment of $328,000 in occupancy costs with provisions for
escalation based on actual expenses. Currently, the affiliate of
the Company is subleasing certain office space to a third party and
a related party.

charges, for a total payment of $17,091.80.
COMPLIANCE WITH THE NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT
AND THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT
6. (a) Net impacts on endangered species must be identified

shall suffer all distribution and administration losses from the
point of such delivery to the place of use. The Contractor agrees
to provide a measuring device, which is acceptable to the
Contracting Officer, at or near the Contractor's point of
diversion, to measure the quantity of water delivered and diverted
under this contract. The Contractor is responsible for making
arrangements with the State of New Mexico and others needed for the
transportation and diversion of such water. The Contractor shall
pay any charges from the New Mexico State Engineer's Office for the
distribution, handling, or administration of this water.
(b) The United States shall not be responsible for the
control, carriage, handling, use, disposal, or distribution of
water taken by the Contractor hereunder, and the Contractor shall
hold the United States harmless on account of damage or claim of
damage of any nature whatsoever, including property damage,
personal injury or death arising out of or connected with the
control, carriage, handling, use, disposal, or distribution of such
water by the Contractor.
(c) This contract and all water taken pursuant thereto
shall be subject to and controlled by the Colorado River Compact
dated November 24, 1922, and proclaimed by the President of the

Law 90-537. In the event water available to the Contractor is
required to be curtailed under and by reason of the provisions of
the foregoing acts, including the reaching of maximum use of water
allotted to the State of New Mexico, no liability shall attach to
the United States for such curtailment, and the Contractor agrees
to reduction of the amount of water taken hereunder as the
Secretary determines necessary to comply with the provisions of
said acts.
UNITED STATES NOT LIABLE FOR WATER SHORTAGE ADJUSTMENTS
8. On account of drought, errors in operation, or other
causes, there may occur at times, a shortage during any year in the
quantity of water available to the Contractor by the United States
pursuant to this contract through and by means of the project, and
in no event shall any liability accrue against the United States or
any of its officers, agents, or employees for any damage direct or
indirect, arising therefrom. In any year in which there may occur
such a shortage, the United States reserves the right to apportion
the available water supply among the Contractor and others
entitled, under existing and future contracts, to receive water
from the same project water supply all in a manner to be prescribed
by the Contracting Officer.
CHARGES FOR DELINQUENT PAYMENTS
9. (a) The Contractor shall be subject to interest,
administrative and penalty charges on delinquent installments or
payments, pursuant to Section 11 of the Debt Collection Act of 1982
(Public Law 97-365). When a payment is not received within 30 days
of the due date, the Contractor shall pay an interest charge for
each day the payment is delinquent beyond the due date. When a
payment becomes 60 days delinquent, the Contractor shall pay an
administrative charge to cover additional costs of billing and
processing the delinquent payment. When a payment is delinquent 90
days or more, the Contractor shall pay an additional penalty charge
of 6 percent per year for each day the payment is delinquent beyond
the due date. Further, the Contractor shall pay any fees incurred
for debt collection services associated with a delinquent payment.
(b) The interest charge rate shall be the greater of the
rate prescribed quarterly in the FEDERAL REGISTER by the Department
of the Treasury for application to overdue payments, or the
interest rate of 0.5 percent per month prescribed by Section 6 of
the Reclamation Project Act of 1939 (Public Law 76-260). The
interest charge rate shall be determined as of the due date and
remain fixed for the duration of the delinquent period.
(c) When a partial payment on a delinquent account is
received, the amount received shall be applied first to the penalty
and administrative charges, second, to the accrued interest, and
third to the overdue payment.
