Each of DCC and Buyer is referred to herein individually as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties."

     WHEREAS, DCC desires to sell, and Buyer desires to purchase, Products pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

SUPPLY OF PRODUCT

     Section 1.1 Quantity and Price of Product. Subject to adjustments pursuant to Sections 1.2, 1.3 and Article II, DCC hereby agrees to sell and Deliver to Buyer, and Buyer hereby agrees to purchase and receive from DCC, the following quantities of Product for each of the periods (with respect to each calendar year, the quantity indicated below for such calendar year, the "Original Annual Quantity") and at the respective prices (as may be adjusted pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2) set forth below:

Calendar Year		Quantity		Price
2009		[****] kgs		US$[****]/kg
2010		[****] kgs		US$[****]/kg
2011		[****] kgs		US$[****]/kg
2012		[****] kgs		US$[****]/kg

     Section 1.2 Delivery Start Date; Monthly Quantity. Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 1.3, for each calendar year set forth in Section 1.1, DCC shall sell and Deliver, and Buyer shall receive and purchase, the Original Annual Quantity (or, if the

Original Annual Quantity has been adjusted pursuant to Section 1.3 below, the Adjusted Annual Quantity (as defined below)) for such calendar year in accordance with the delivery schedule agreed to by the Parties pursuant to Section 1.5. The monthly quantities to be Delivered, before giving effect to any adjustments pursuant to Section 1.3, shall herein be referred to as "Original Monthly Quantity" or "Original Monthly Quantities," as the context shall require.

     Section 1.3 Quantity Variance.

     (a) With respect to each Original Annual Quantity, DCC may, at its sole and absolute discretion, increase or decrease the amount of such Original Annual Quantity by an amount which is no greater than [****]% of such Original Annual Quantity by providing advanced written notice (the "Notice of Adjustment") to Buyer. Any Original Annual Quantity which has been so adjusted shall become the "Adjusted Annual Quantity". The Notice of Adjustment shall become effective on the date which is [****] months after the date of such Notice of Adjustment. Upon effectiveness of such Notice of Adjustment, that portion of the Adjusted Annual Quantity remaining to be Delivered as of such effective date shall be equitably adjusted by mutual agreement of the parties, provided however, in the absence of mutual agreement, that portion of the Adjusted Annual Quantity then remaining to be delivered shall be equally divided among the calendar months remaining in such calendar year. Any Original Monthly Quantity which has been so adjusted shall become the "Adjusted Monthly Quantity".

     (b) If the actual quantity of Products Delivered is less than [****]% of the Original Monthly Quantity or Adjusted Monthly Quantity, as applicable, then remedial measures in respect of such deficiency shall be discussed between DCC and Buyer pursuant to which DCC and Buyer shall find an amicable solution to such deficiency, including rolling over the deficient quantity to one or more subsequent Deliveries. In no event shall such deficiency be deemed to be a default under this Agreement, provided however, DCC shall have exerted [****] efforts to Deliver the Original Monthly Quantity or Adjusted Monthly Quantity, as applicable.

     Section 1.4 Disposition of Product Sold. Buyer shall utilize the Product for the manufacturing purposes of itself and Buyer shall not re-sell the Product, or become a re-seller or distributor of the Product sold to Buyer under this Agreement.

     Section 1.5 Delivery Schedule. At least [****] days prior to the beginning of each calendar year, the Parties shall discuss and consult with each other as to timing and quantities of Original Monthly Quantities to be Delivered during such calendar year. Absent agreement by the Parties to the contrary, DCC shall Deliver to Buyer the applicable Original Annual Quantity over substantially equal batches during each month of such calendar year, pursuant to a monthly purchase order to be Delivered by Buyer to DCC at least [****] days prior to the beginning of such month, which purchase order shall specify the agreed Original Monthly Quantity to be Delivered in such month. The schedule for Deliveries of Adjusted Annual Quantities shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.3(a).

ARTICLE II

PRICE ADJUSTMENT AND ADVANCE PAYMENT

     Section 2.1 Price Adjustment. The price per kilogram of Product sold during any calendar year (the "Relevant Year") shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the following:

     If the absolute value of "(A – B)/B" is equal to or greater than "[****]%", then the new price per kilogram of Product for the Relevant Year (the "Adjusted Price") shall equal C.

     Where:

     A = [****];

     B = [****];

     C = [****];

     [****]

     For the avoidance of doubt, DCC shall calculate and determine whether the price for Products for a Relevant Year is required to be adjusted in accordance with this Section 2.1 promptly as practicable, and notify Buyer in writing of any adjustment to the price, if any. In the event that a determination has been made that an adjustment is required to be made to the price in respect of any Relevant Year, such adjustment shall apply to any Original Monthly Quantities or Adjusted Monthly Quantities, as applicable, remaining to be Delivered during such calendar year, but not to any Original Monthly Quantities or Adjusted Monthly Quantities, as applicable, already Delivered in respect of such calendar year nor to the Original Annual Quantity of any other calendar year.

     Section 2.2 Threshold. If the Adjusted Price for any of (i) the [****] or calendar years is less than [****]% or greater than [****]% or (ii) the [****] calendar years is less than [****]% or greater than [****]%, in each case, of the respective prices for such years set forth in the table in Section 1.1, then the actual amount of the adjustment to be applied to determine the Adjusted Price for such calendar year shall be discussed between DCC and Buyer pursuant to which DCC and Buyer shall agree on a mutually acceptable adjustment amount.

     Section 2.3 Advance Payment. Buyer agrees to make an interest free, and non-refundable (except as set forth in Section 2.4) advance payment to DCC (paid to an account designated by DCC) in the aggregate amount of US$36,540,000 (the "Advance Payment"), in accordance with the schedule set forth below:

Date		Amount
Within 1 month after contract date		US$10.962,000
Within 3 months after the 1st installment		US$[****]
December 1, 2008		US$[****]
Total		US$36,540,000

In respect of each payment from Buyer to DCC, Buyer shall be entitled to an Advance Payment Credit.

"Advance Payment Credit" in respect of any payment shall mean the number equal to the product of (i) the Pro Rata Percentage and (ii) the amount of such payment, to the extent that the Advance Payment Balance at the time of calculation is greater than such number, and if the Advance Payment Balance is less than such number, the amount of the Advance Payment Balance.

"Pro Rata Percentage" shall equal the fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of the Advance Payment and the denominator of which is equal to the aggregate purchase price for all of the Original Annual Quantities set forth in Section 1.1.

"Advance Payment Balance" as of a certain time, shall mean a number which is equal to (i) the amount of the Advance Payment less (ii) the aggregate amount of all Advance Payment Credits prior to such time.

     Section 2.4 Refund of Advance Payment. Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to [****] DCC shall refund to Buyer within [****] days of the effective date of such termination the Advance Payment Balance as of the date of such refund, less any amounts due and payable by Buyer to DCC which are outstanding as of the date of such refund.

ARTICLE III

DELIVERY AND SHIPPING

     Section 3.1 Delivery. The Product shall be delivered to Buyer [****] (Incoterms 2000); accordingly, the availability of an Original Monthly Quantity or Adjusted Monthly Quantity, as applicable, for receipt by Buyer at the Plant shall constitute "Delivery" for the purposes of this Agreement.
