Energy Surcharge (Natural Gas)
FMC will apply $.025/lb energy surcharge on invoices for hydrogen peroxide in order to partially offset the impact of the rapid increase in natural gas prices. The amount of the surcharge will be held constant through March 31, 2010, and will be modified quarterly thereafter based on the three-month forward average NYMEX Henry Hub gas price (as of the 15th of the month prior to the beginning of the each calendar quarter) as shown in the table below. When natural gas prices are at a level below $5.00 per MMBTU, the surcharge will be removed. We will add the adjustment as a separate line item on your invoice.

Railcar Deliveries
The transportation fuel surcharge for rail deliveries will be based on the average daily West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil price for the month immediately preceding the month for which the surcharge applies. The WTI price data is available at the Department of Energy website via the link shown below. The surcharge on rail will be adjusted monthly on the 1st of each month.

While FMC has absorbed natural gas and fuel cost increases to date, the magnitude of these cost increases has reached the point where we must take action to offset a portion of the impact.
