3 Presentation Topics 1. LLS-Maya Benchmark: Overview 2. Delayed Coker Feedstock Supply Factors a) U.S. Crude Production b) Heavy Crude Regional Production c) Vacuum Resid Imports d) U.S. Refining Capacity Rationalization 3. Delayed Coker Feedstock Demand Factors a) New Delayed Coker Projects b) Fuel Oil Switching in Power Generation c) Asphalt Demand 4. Outlook and Sensitivities 2 Argus U.S./Canada Asphalt 2009
4 Overview LLS-Maya Overview Light Louisiana Sweet (LLS) and Maya represent opposite ends of crude oil quality spectrum. Each grade is a key pricing benchmark. Not without imperfections: LLS USGC (St. James delivery), declining volumes, increased importance due to WTI price breakdown, however, a hedging mechanism is not currently available. Maya declining volumes; price link to fuel oil can lead to short-term anomalies. LLS-Maya still useful indicator: relative crude pricing, coking margins.

8 Supply Factors U.S. Production Modest, Negative Impacts From U.S. Production Production declines of Heavy Crudes over past five years driven by California. Growth prospects of Light Crudes include Gulf of Mexico and Williston Basin/Bakken (U.S. Upper Midwest). Short-term Outlook: According to the EIA, domestic production is projected to increase approximately 400,000 Bbl./day in 2009 (first increase in U.S. production since 1991). Longer-term Outlook: By 2012, however, any gains of Vacuum Resid supply would be wiped out by expected production declines. 7 Argus U.S./Canada Asphalt 2009

17 Demand Factors Asphalt U.S. Asphalt Demand U.S. Asphalt demand falls in a fairly narrow range ( MB/D). Asphalt Demand Outlook: Demand is expected to increase in the future due to U.S. Government-financed economic stimulus projects. U.S. Asphalt Demand SOURCE:EIA MB/D Argus U.S./Canada Asphalt 2009
18 Outlook and Sensitivities Summary Indicators expected to tighten coker feedstock balance, increase relative pricing for fuel oil & asphalt and degrade coker economics. Driver Regional Heavy Crude Supply U.S. Refinery Rationalization New Coker Projects Increased RFO to Power Plants Declining U.S. Crude Production Reduced Resid Imports Asphalt Stimulus Projects Impact on Coker Feedstock Availability Increased supply 3%-6% Reduced supply 2%-4% Increased demand 5%-10% Reduced supply 5-10% Reduced supply 1%-2% Reduced supply 2%-5% Increased demand 2%-4% Relative Asphalt Price 17 Argus U.S./Canada Asphalt 2009
19 Outlook and Sensitivities Summary Limited volumes of heavy crude oils, along with new cokers coming on-stream in 2011 and 2012 will likely erode coker margins and lead to relative price strengthening for asphalt and residual fuel oil. Case can be made for continued wide differentials and relatively depressed asphalt prices for the next two years. Production growth in Brazil and Canada are key factors to watch. After two years - when/if significant coker capacity comes on line key supply and demand factors suggest strengthening asphalt prices. Other wildcards also seem to favor higher asphalt prices: Global recession leading to curtailed production of less valuable, but more costly to produce heavy grades of crude oil. Integrated cokers will be run at full capacity to monetize heavy crude oils, regardless of low coker margins. Analysis is complex and dynamic. 18 Argus U.S./Canada Asphalt 2009
