(xiv) any other employee benefit or compensation arrangement customarily provided to all employees by the Secondment Provider for which the Secondment Provider incurs costs with respect to Seconded Employees; and
(xv) any sales taxes imposed upon the provision of any taxable services provided under this Agreement; provided, however, that, the General Partner and the Tesoro Group contemplate that the services provided pursuant to this Agreement are not taxable services for sales and use tax purposes.
(c) Adjustments Based on Periods of Secondment. It is understood and agreed that the Secondment Recipient shall be liable for Seconded Employee Expenses to the extent, and only to the extent, they are attributable to the Seconded Services performed by such Seconded Employee.
(d) Adjustments. The Seconded Employees employer will determine in good faith the percentage of each Seconded Employees time spent providing services to a Secondment Recipient (the Allocation Percentage). The amount of the Services Reimbursement payable with respect to each Seconded Employee shall be determined by multiplying the Seconded Employee Expenses for such Seconded Employee times the Allocation Percentage for such Seconded Employee; provided, however, that certain Second Employee Expenses shall not be allocated based on the Allocation Percentage but rather shall be allocated as follows:
(i) travel expenses and other specific identifiable expenses incurred with respect to and/or reimbursable to a Seconded Employee shall be paid by the Tesoro Group or the Logistics Group for whom the Seconded Services related to such expenses were performed, except that expenses related to activities that benefit both the Tesoro Group and the Logistics Group shall be shared in accordance with the Allocation Percentage (or such other allocation as may be agreed between the affected Parties); and
(ii) the taxes described in Section 3(b)(xv) shall be reimbursable in full by the Secondment Recipient.
(e) Allocations for Operational Services. The Parties shall determine an average amount of costs and expenses expected to be incurred for performance of Operational Services, (whether Logistics Services and Tesoro Services) based upon historical employee time spent on performing such services, the level of employees performing such Operational Services, the compensation factors outlined in Sections 3(b), (c) and (d) above, any anticipated changes in the nature and level of Operational Services to be performed and any other reasonable factors used to determine the correct amount of reimbursement to cover the Secondment Providers costs of providing such Operational Services. Such amounts shall be fixed as a flat monthly fee for performance of each type of Operational Services at each Facility, and such flat monthly fee shall be invoiced and paid as provided in Section 3(a) above. The initial reimbursable fees payable for such Operational Services shall be as provided on the attached Service Schedules, which fees shall be increased on July 1 of each year of the Term, commencing on July 1, 2015, by a percentage
11
equal to the greater of zero or the positive change, if any, in the CPI-U (All Urban Consumers) for the prior calendar year, as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, and rounded to the nearest one-tenth (1/10) of one percent (1%). The Parties shall periodically, but not less than annually, review the existing fee structure for each Operational Service, to determine if it accurately reflects the actual costs and expenses incurred by the Secondment Provider in performing such Operational Services, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and make such adjustments as are appropriate to cause the fees for each such Operational Service to reflect the Secondment Providers actual costs and expenses in providing the Operational Services. In the event that the level of Operational Services are increased during any month above the anticipated levels used to determine the flat monthly fee, or if the Secondment Provider incurs any travel expense or other specific identifiable reimbursable expenses associated with providing Operational Services that are not included in the factors used to calculate flat monthly fees, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine an additional amount that the Secondment Provider may charge during such month to cover its increased costs of providing Operational Services during such month.
(f) Where it is not reasonably practicable to determine the amount of any such cost or expense described above, the Tesoro Group and the General Partner shall mutually agree on the method of determining or estimating such cost or expense, which may include the application of an agreed percentage benefit load to a Seconded Employees salary and wages in order to value certain of the benefits listed above. If the actual amount of any cost or expense, once known, varies from the estimate used for billing purposes hereunder, the difference, once determined, shall be reflected and adjusted in such manner as may be agreed upon between the Tesoro Group and the General Partner at the time such variance is identified.
4. | FACILITIES, EQUIPMENT AND OFFICES |
(a) Materials, Equipment and Supplies. Either Party may supply or provide materials, equipment and supplies associated with Logistics Services or Tesoro Services. In addition, a Party may incur costs and expenses relating to permits, licenses, utilities, communications, consultants, security, and similar matters that are related to Logistics Services or Tesoro Services. The Parties shall establish procedures whereby the costs and expenses of providing such items are allocated to and paid by the Parties in accordance with the extent to which each Party realizes the benefit of each such item. If one Party incurs the costs and expenses for any such item that is used solely for the benefit of another Party, then the Party that pays for such item shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Party who received the benefit of such item. If any items benefit both the Tesoro Group and the Logistics Group, then the Group who incurs the costs and expenses associated with such items shall be entitled to reimbursement from the other Group in proportion to the benefits received by each Group from the incurrence of such costs and expenses. The Parties shall negotiate such allocations in good faith with respect to each such item at the time the reimbursement is determined. For items that are associated with Operational Expenses, the allocation may be included in the flat monthly fees reflected on the Service Schedules.
(b) Use of Offices, Facilities and Equipment. The Parties may agree, pursuant to a Service Order, to allow employees and contractors of one Group (the Licensee Group) to have access to and utilize certain offices, facilities and equipment (the Licensed Premises) of the other Group (the Licensor Group) for purposes of conducting Operational Services. These Operational Services may include both Seconded Services and other services that are performed by employees of the Licensee Group related to its own Assets. In the event that the Parties so agree pursuant to a Service Order, the employees and contractors of the Licensee Group shall have a license to access and use those offices, facilities and equipment. All such access to and use of the Licensed Premises shall be subject to all rules, policies and procedures of the Licensor Party regarding access and use of the Licensed Premises and adjacent areas by its own employees and contractors, including all reasonable security requirements
12
applicable to accessing the premises and any systems, technologies, or assets of the Licensor Group. The Licensor Group shall have the right to exclude access to any employee or contractor of the Licensee Group who is in violation of such rules, policies and procedures. The Licensor Group shall have the right to designate on the Service Order, the specific areas, facilities and equipment that are within the Licensed Premises, to restrict access to and use of any areas, facilities and equipment that are not included within the Licensed Premises, and to designate specific routes for ingress and egress to the Licensed Premises. Unless otherwise specified on such Service Order, access to office space shall include access to common parking areas, restrooms and break areas that are utilized by employees of the Licensor Group occupying areas included within or immediately adjacent to the Licensed Premises, together with use of computer servers, telephone lines, other communication equipment, copiers and similar office equipment that serve the Licensed Premises. The Licensor Group may charge the Licensee Group a fee for providing such access in amount to be mutually agreed upon between the Parties pursuant to the applicable Service Order. The identification of the Licensed Premises, the fees to be charged for use of such Licensed Premises and any other special provisions or restrictions regarding use and access of the Licensed Premises shall be set forth in Services Orders entered into between the Parties.
5. | BOOKS AND RECORDS |
The Parties shall keep books of account and other records, in reasonable detail and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and industry standards, consistently applied, with respect to the provision of the Seconded Services and the fees charged, as well as costs and expenses for materials, equipment, supplies, communications, utilities and other charges that are charged by one Group to the other Group, including support for allocations. Allocations of Seconded Employee Expenses that are payable other than through flat monthly fees shall be documented by AFEs, Service Orders or other standard documentation to establish an Allocation Percentage and the amount of any reimbursable Seconded Employee Expenses. Books of account and other records shall be open for the Secondment Recipients inspection during normal business hours upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice for twelve (12) months following the end of the calendar year in which such Seconded Services were rendered. This inspection right will include the right of the Secondment Recipient to have its accountants or auditors review such books and records. If an audit reveals that the Secondment Recipient paid more than the applicable fees for any applicable audited period or service, the Secondment Provider shall reimburse the Secondment Recipient for any amounts overpaid together with interest at a rate equal to the prime rate of interest on the original due date published by The Wall Street Journal, accruing from the date paid by the Secondment Recipient to the date reimbursed by the Secondment Provider.
6. | TERM; RENEWAL |
This Agreement shall have a term beginning on July 1, 2014, and shall terminate on July 1, 2024 (the Initial Term). This Agreement may be extended by the Tesoro Group for up to two (2) renewal terms of five (5) years each (each, an Extension Period, and together with the Initial Term, the Term). To commence an Extension Period, the Tesoro Group shall provide written notice of its intent to the Logistics Group no less than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or the then-current Extension Period.

9. | TERMINATION |

Any specific Operational Service provided by Seconded Employees from the Service Schedules may be terminated by the Secondment Recipient (each such specific Operational Service that has been terminated by the Secondment Recipient, a Terminated Service) upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to the Secondment Provider.
(b) Termination for Default.

15
enforcing this indemnity provision (each a Loss and collectively, Losses), incurred by, imposed upon or rendered against one or more of the Logistics Group Indemnified Parties, whether based on contract, or tort, or pursuant to any statute, rule or regulation, and regardless of whether the Claims are foreseeable or unforeseeable, all to the extent that such Losses are in respect of or arise from (i) breaches by the Tesoro Group of this Agreement, or (ii) Claims by a third-party relating to (A) breaches by the Tesoro Group of this Agreement or (B) the Tesoro Groups negligence, willful misconduct or violation of law in connection with the performance of the Logistics Services, PROVIDED THAT THE TESORO GROUP SHALL NOT BE OBLIGATED TO INDEMNIFY OR HOLD HARMLESS THE LOGISTICS GROUP INDEMNIFIED PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY CLAIMS TO THE EXTENT THEY RESULT FROM THE BREACH OF CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY OR THE NEGLIGENT ACTS, ERRORS, OMISSIONS OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF ANY LOGISTICS GROUP INDEMNIFIED PARTY.

(b) Indemnification by the Logistics Group. The Logistics Group shall indemnify and hold harmless the Tesoro Group, and the officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives of the Tesoro Group (collectively, the Tesoro Group Indemnified Parties) from and against all Claims, and upon demand by the Tesoro Group, shall protect and defend the Tesoro Group Indemnified Parties from the same, alleged, asserted or suffered by or arising in favor of any Person, and shall pay any and all Losses incurred by, imposed upon or rendered against one or more of the Tesoro Group Indemnified Parties, whether based on contract, or tort, or pursuant to any statute, rule or regulation, and regardless of whether the Claims are foreseeable or unforeseeable, all to the extent that such Losses are in respect of or arise from (i) breaches by the Logistics Group of this Agreement or (ii) Claims by a third-party relating to (A) breaches by the Logistics Group of this Agreement or (B) the Logistics Groups negligence, willful misconduct or violation of law in connection with the performance of the Tesoro Services, PROVIDED THAT THE LOGISTICS GROUP SHALL NOT BE OBLIGATED TO INDEMNIFY OR HOLD HARMLESS THE TESORO GROUP INDEMNIFIED PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY CLAIMS TO THE EXTENT THEY RESULT FROM THE BREACH OF CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY OR THE NEGLIGENT ACTS, ERRORS, OMISSIONS OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF ANY TESORO GROUP INDEMNIFIED PARTY. THE INDEMNITIES UNDER THIS SECTION 11(b) SHALL NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS OR LOSSES THAT ARE CAUSED BY ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS OF LOGISTICS SECONDED EMPLOYEES WHILE ACTING IN THE COURSE OF SECONDMENT TO THE LOGISTICS GROUP.
(c) The indemnifying Parties agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 11(a) and 11(b):
(i) the Secondment Recipient shall indemnify and hold harmless the Secondment Provider and its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives from and against any and all Losses and Claims brought or raised by any individual who is, or at one time was, a Seconded Employee relating to any act or omission of the Secondment Recipient, its officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives, including, without limitation, workers compensation, discrimination, harassment, constructive dismissal, wages paid and hours worked, or any other employment-related Claim; and
(ii) the Secondment Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless the Secondment Recipient and its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives from and against any and all Losses and Claims brought or raised by any individual who is, or at one time was, a Seconded Employee relating to any act or omission of the Secondment Provider, its officers, directors,
16
employees, agents or representatives, including, without limitation, workers compensation, discrimination, harassment, constructive dismissal, wages paid and hours worked, or any other employment-related Claim.
(d) Indemnification Procedure. The indemnified Party agrees that within a reasonable period of time after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a Claim for indemnification under this Section 11, it will provide notice thereof in writing to the indemnifying Party, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such Claim.
(i) The indemnifying Party shall have the right to control all aspects of the defense of (and any counterclaims with respect to) any Claims brought against the indemnified Party that are covered by the indemnification under this Section 11, including, without limitation, the selection of counsel, determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court and the settling of any such Claim or any matter or any issues relating thereto; provided, however, that no such settlement shall be entered into without the consent of the indemnified Party unless it includes a full release of the indemnified Party from such Claim.
(ii) The indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with the indemnifying Party, with respect to all aspects of the defense of any Claims covered by the indemnification under this Section 11 including, without limitation, the prompt furnishing to the indemnifying Party of any correspondence or other notice relating thereto that the indemnified Party may receive, permitting the name of the indemnified Party to be utilized in connection with such defense, the making available to the indemnifying Party of any files, records or other information of the indemnified Party that the indemnifying Party considers relevant to such defense and the making available to the indemnifying Party of any employees of the indemnified Party; provided, however, that in connection therewith the indemnifying Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the indemnified Party and further agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records, and other information furnished by the indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 11(d). In no event shall the obligation of the indemnified Party to cooperate with the indemnifying Party as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence be construed as imposing upon the indemnified Party an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in connection with the defense of any Claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this Section 11; provided, however, that the indemnified Party may, at its own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection with any such defense. The indemnifying Party agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the indemnified Party informed as to the status of any such defense, but the indemnifying Party shall have the right to retain sole control over such defense.
(iii) In determining the amount of any loss, cost, damage or expense for which the indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the gross amount of the indemnification will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds realized by the indemnified Party, and such correlative insurance benefit shall be net of any incremental insurance premium that becomes due and payable by the indemnified Party as a result of such Claim and (ii) all amounts recovered by the indemnified Party under contractual indemnities from third Persons.
(e) Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither Party shall be liable or responsible to the other Party or such other Partys Affiliates for any consequential, incidental, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits or revenues (collectively referred to as special damages) incurred by such Party or its Affiliates that arise out of or relate to this Agreement, regardless of whether any such Claim arises under or results from contract, tort, or strict liability; provided that the foregoing limitation is not intended and shall not affect special damages imposed in favor of unaffiliated Persons that are not Parties to this Agreement.
17
12. | FORCE MAJEURE |
(a) Notice. The Secondment Providers obligations under this Agreement may be temporarily suspended during the occurrence of, and for the entire duration of, a Force Majeure. As soon as possible upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure, the Secondment Provider shall provide the Secondment Recipient with written notice of the occurrence of such Force Majeure (a Force Majeure Notice). The Secondment Provider shall identify in such Force Majeure Notice the approximate length of time that it reasonably believes in good faith such Force Majeure shall continue. During the period of the Force Majeure event, the Seconded Employees shall be excused from the performance with respect to its obligations related to the provision of the applicable Seconded Service(s) hereunder, but only to the extent that such Force Majeure event actually precludes such Seconded Employees from providing each Seconded Service. The Secondment Recipient shall not be required to pay fees for any affected Seconded Services during the period while its performance is precluded by the Force Majeure. The Secondment Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate and to overcome the effects of such event or circumstances and shall resume performance of its obligations as soon as practicable and shall continue to perform all Seconded Services that are not precluded by the Force Majeure.
(b) Continuation. If a Force Majeure preventing performance of any of the Seconded Services hereunder continues for twelve (12) consecutive months or more, either Party shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Seconded Service suspended by such Force Majeure.
13. | ASSIGNMENT; PARTNERSHIP CHANGE OF CONTROL |
(a) Assignment. Neither the Logistics Group nor the Tesoro Group may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that either Party may subcontract any of the Seconded Services provided hereunder so long as such Seconded Services continue to be provided in a manner consistent with past practices and industry standards and in accordance with Section 8 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Logistics Group shall be permitted to make a collateral assignment of this Agreement solely to secure working capital financing for TLO. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
(b) Partnership Change of Control. The Tesoro Group may terminate this Agreement upon a Partnership Change of Control. The Logistics Group shall provide the Tesoro Group with notice of any Partnership Change of Control at least sixty (60) days prior to the effective date thereof.

15. | CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION |
(a) Obligations. Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to retain the other Parties Confidential Information in confidence and not disclose the same to any third party nor use the same, except as authorized by the disclosing Party in writing or as expressly permitted in this Section 15. Each Party further agrees to take the same care with the other Partys Confidential Information as it does with its own, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Excepted from these obligations of confidence and non-use is that information which:
(i) is available, or becomes available, to the general public without fault of the receiving Party;
(ii) was in the possession of the receiving Party on a non-confidential basis prior to receipt of the same from the disclosing Party (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that this exception shall not apply to information of the Logistics Group that was in the possession of the Tesoro Group or any of its Affiliates as a result of their ownership or operation of the Logistics Assets prior to the date hereof);
19
(iii) is obtained by the receiving Party without an obligation of confidence from a third party who is rightfully in possession of such information and, to the receiving Partys knowledge, is under no obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party; or
(iv) is independently developed by the receiving Party without reference to or use of the disclosing Partys Confidential Information.
For the purpose of this Section 15, a specific item of Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing exceptions merely because it is embraced by, or underlies, more general information in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party.
(b) Required Disclosure. Notwithstanding Section 15(a) above, if the receiving Party becomes legally compelled to disclose the Confidential Information by a court, Governmental Authority or Applicable Law, or is required to disclose by the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, any of the disclosing Partys Confidential Information, the receiving Party shall promptly advise the disclosing Party of such requirement to disclose Confidential Information as soon as the receiving Party becomes aware that such a requirement to disclose might become effective, in order that, where possible, the disclosing Party may seek a protective order or such other remedy as the disclosing Party may consider appropriate in the circumstances. The receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the disclosing Partys Confidential Information that it is required to disclose and shall cooperate with the disclosing Party in allowing the disclosing Party to obtain such protective order or other relief.
(c) Return of Information. Upon written request by the disclosing Party, all of the disclosing Partys Confidential Information in whatever form shall be returned to the disclosing Party upon termination of this Agreement or destroyed with destruction certified by the receiving Party, without the receiving Party retaining copies thereof except that one copy of all such Confidential Information may be retained by a Partys legal department solely to the extent that such Party is required to keep a copy of such Confidential Information pursuant to Applicable Law and the receiving Party shall be entitled to retain any Confidential Information in the electronic form or stored on automatic computer back-up archiving systems during the period such backup or archived materials are retained under such Partys customary procedures and policies; provided, however, that any Confidential Information retained by the receiving Party shall be maintained subject to confidentiality pursuant to the terms of this Section 15, and such archived or back-up Confidential Information shall not be accessed except as required by Applicable Law.
(d) Receiving Party Personnel. The receiving Party will limit access to the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party to those of its employees, attorneys and contractors that have a need to know such information in order for the receiving Party to exercise or perform its rights and obligations under this Agreement (the Receiving Party Personnel). The Receiving Party Personnel who have access to any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party will be made aware of the confidentiality provision of this Agreement, and will be required to abide by the terms thereof. Seconded Employees who receive or access any Confidential Information of a Secondment Recipient shall be bound to protect such Confidential Information to the same extent and in the same manner as if they received or accessed such Confidential Information as direct employees of the Secondment Recipient, and they shall be representatives of the Secondment Recipient with respect to use or disclosure of the Confidential Information so received or accessed. Any third party contractors that are given access to Confidential Information of a disclosing Party pursuant to the terms hereof shall be required to sign a written agreement pursuant to which such Receiving Party Personnel agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, which written agreement will expressly state that it is enforceable against such Receiving Party Personnel by the disclosing Party.
20
(e) Survival. The obligation of confidentiality under this Section 15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years.
16. | MISCELLANEOUS |
(a) Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may be terminated, amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by the Parties. Any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be waived in writing at any time by the Party entitled to the benefits thereof. No waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or any breach thereof, will be effective unless in writing signed by a duly authorized individual on behalf of the Party against which the waiver is sought to be enforced. No waiver of any term or condition or of any breach of this Agreement will be deemed or will constitute a waiver of any other term or condition or of any later breach (whether or not similar), nor will such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.
(b) Integration. This Agreement, together with the Service Orders, Service Schedules and the other agreements executed on the date hereof in connection with the other documents executed among the Parties on the date of the Third Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the Parties in connection therewith. In the event of a conflict of provisions of this Agreement and the Third Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement or amendments thereto, the provisions of the Third Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement, as it may be amended, shall prevail with respect to issues related to the contribution of the assets described therein, but not with respect to the Seconded Services provided as set forth in this Agreement.
(c) Construction and Interpretation. In interpreting this Agreement, unless the context expressly requires otherwise, all of the following apply to the interpretation of this Agreement:
(i) Preparation of this Agreement has been a joint effort of the Parties and the resulting Agreement against one of the Parties as the drafting Party.
(ii) Plural and singular words each include the other.
(iii) Masculine, feminine and neutral genders each include the others.
(iv) The word or is not exclusive and includes and/or.
(v) The words includes and including are not limiting.
(vi) References to the Parties include their respective successors and permitted assignees.
(vii) The headings in this Agreement are included for convenience and do not affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of, or the rights or obligations of a Party under, this Agreement.
(d) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal court of competent jurisdiction situated in the United States
21
District Court for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division, or if such federal court declines to exercise or does not have jurisdiction, in the district court of Bexar County, Texas. The Parties expressly and irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of said Courts and irrevocably waive any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in such Courts, irrevocably waive any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and further irrevocably waive the right to object, with respect to such Claim, action, suit or proceeding brought in any such Court, that such Court does not have jurisdiction over such Party. The Parties hereby irrevocably consent to the service of process by registered mail, postage prepaid, or by personal service within or without the State of Texas. Nothing contained herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
(e) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf)) for the convenience of the Parties hereto, each of which counterparts will be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together will constitute one and the same agreement.
(f) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be valid and effective under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance will be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision hereof, and the Parties will negotiate in good faith with a view to substitute for such provision a suitable and equitable solution in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.
(g) No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as specifically provided herein, including as set forth in Section 11, it is expressly understood that the provisions of this Agreement do not impart enforceable rights in anyone who is not a Party or successor or permitted assignee of a Party.
(h) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PERFORMANCE OR FAILURE TO PERFORM OF ANY OBLIGATION HEREUNDER.
(i) Schedules and Amendment of Schedules. Each of the Schedules attached hereto and referred to herein is hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein. The Parties may amend and restate the Schedules at any time without otherwise amending or restating this Agreement by the execution by all of the Parties of a cover page to the amended Schedules in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Such amended and restated Schedules shall replace the prior Schedules as of the date of execution of the cover page and shall be incorporated by reference into this Agreement for all purposes.
(j) Operational Services Agreement. This Agreement supersedes the Operational Services Agreement in its entirety and the Parties agree that the terms and provisions of this Agreement replace the terms and provisions of the Operational Services Agreement, which is no longer in effect, as of the date hereof. Any references in any other agreements between the Parties and any of their Affiliates that reference the Operational Services Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the Secondment Agreement as its successor.
