Calumet shall pay the amount in DOP’s invoice by wire transfer within ten (10) days after Calumet receives notice of the amount due. Where the pricing information available to DOP does not allow for the preparation of a final invoice, DOP may issue a provisional invoice, against which Calumet shall make payment within said ten (10) days. Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, the provisional price shall be based upon the pricing information available to DOP at the time it issues such provisional invoice. Payment of any balance due by either Party resulting from differences between the provisional invoice and final invoice, if any, shall be made as soon as practicable following receipt of DOP’s final invoice, which shall be prepared as soon as practicable after all the relevant information becomes available to DOP; provided that in no event shall either Party be required to make payment prior to the expiration of the 10-day period set forth in this Section 3.4(b).

If a payment due date falls on a Saturday or a bank or federal holiday, other than Monday, the payment shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day. If the payment due date falls on a Sunday or Monday bank or federal holiday, the payment shall be due on the following Business Day.
Section 3.5    Replacement Index.
(a)    If, for any reason, any of the indexes specified on Exhibit C should cease to be published, the Parties agree to promptly and in good faith negotiate a mutually acceptable alternative index or substitute methodology for calculating the applicable Purchase Price (the “Alternative Index”). If, on or before 30 days after the applicable index ceases to be published, the Parties are unable to agree on an Alternative Index, then the matter shall be referred to an Expert for determination in accordance with Section 11.13.
(b)    The Parties acknowledge this is a long-term refined products supply agreement and it is their intent for this Agreement to continue to apply if the Products listed on Exhibit A are no longer produced at the Trenton Refinery during the term of this Agreement as a result of market changes, changes in Law or other factors. If as a result of market changes, changes in Law or other factors, all or part of the Products listed on Exhibit A are no longer produced at the Trenton Refinery, then the Parties agree that the new refined products produced at the Trenton Refinery shall be made available for delivery to Calumet and this Agreement shall continue to apply to such new refined products. If the Parties are unable to agree on the pricing and other arrangements for such new refined products, then the matter shall be referred to an Expert for determination in accordance with Section 11.13.

Title and risk of loss to, and full shipping responsibility for, the Products shall pass from DOP to Calumet at the Delivery Point. Calumet shall coordinate the shipment of Product with DOP on a daily basis in such a manner that will allow DOP to have adequate capacity remaining in the Storage Tanks to permit DOP to continue full production of the Products.

The Parties shall cooperate in coordinating

9

production schedules, loading schedules and transportation arrangements, including, without limitation, promptly notifying the other Party of any changes, and by using commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate damages in all cases. DOP shall provide Calumet and/or Calumet’s agents (the “Calumet Representatives”) access to the Trenton Refinery as reasonably necessary for the Calumet Representatives to arrange for delivery of the Products to the Transportation or for the transfer of the Products by Calumet from the Storage Tanks to the Transportation. With DOP’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Calumet shall schedule the loading and shipping of all Products purchased pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that DOP, at its sole cost and expense, shall provide all labor and equipment required to load Products purchased hereunder into the Transportation. DOP agrees to work with Calumet to help coordinate and facilitate the orderly, timely and ratable delivery of Products and the logistics associated with those deliveries.
Section 4.2    Measurements and Tests.
(f)    Unless otherwise specified, quantities delivered (i) into transport trucks or railcars shall be measured by the calibrated weight scales or calibrated meters at the Trenton Refinery; or (ii) into pipelines shall be measured by calibrated meters maintained by the applicable pipeline, or if such calibrated meters are not available, by terminal tank gauges. Upon reasonable prior notice to the other Party, either Party may require presence of an independent petroleum inspector at the line of delivery. Such inspector shall be appointed jointly, and the cost of the inspector’s services shall be paid by the Party requiring the presence of the inspector. The inspector’s determinations shall be conclusive and binding upon both Parties. Each Party shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, to have a representative present to witness all gauges, tests, and measurements. In the absence of either Party’s representative, the gauges, tests and measurements of the other Party shall be deemed to be correct.
(g)    Calumet shall have the right, but not the duty, to inspect the Products prior to delivery. Samples of the Products shall be taken from the Storage Tanks as appropriate. The sample shall be by line-sampling devices where available. Tests to determine quality shall be made from such samples and shall be made in accordance with standard test methods specified in the official publications of either the American Society for Testing and Materials (“ASTM”) or the American Petroleum Institute (“API”). Other appropriate test methods as mutually agreed may be used for the qualities where no methods are prescribed in ASTM or API publications on the delivery date.
Section 4.3    Storage Tanks. At all times during the Term, DOP shall have available, and shall provide at its sole cost and expense, Storage Tanks with capacity of at least eight (8) calendar days of average production of each Product. The Storage Tanks shall be constructed such that there is adequate tankage to segregate the streams in the production cycle of each Product.

Upon violation warning sent to violating shipper. If violation continues in 2nd month stream reclassified and shipper requested to nominate to appropriate stream (i.e. MSW, etc.). Once shipper demonstrates that they are back in spec range they are allowed to nominate to the CRW pool the following month.

Diluent:
“Deemed C4- Content” < 5.0 vol %. Deemed C4- Content is determined via Kinder Morgan’s Equalization Methodology. Summary of the process is below.
Propane and lighter (C3-) content is multiplied by 3 and then added to the butane content to arrive at the “Deemed C4- Content”

Exhibit C
Product Price
Product pricing changes each day at 6:00 pm central time and is in effect from that time until 5:59 pm central time on the next day. All sales are FOB Trenton Refinery.
1.    ATBs and AGOs
The Product Price for ATBs and AGO shall be equal to the spot price for West Texas Intermediate on the New York Mercantile Exchange minus $(***).
2.    Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel:
The Product Price for Ultra Low Sulfur No. 1 Diesel and Ultra Low Sulfur No. 2 Diesel shall be equal to the average of the low posting at the three nearest racks minus the average of the market rate to transport the Product by truck from the Trenton Refinery to those three racks.
To determine the market rate, the parties will jointly solicit three independent trucking firms operating in the area to provide a mileage rate sheet and fuel surcharge formula. The lowest mileage rate of those three rate sheets and the fuel surcharge quoted with that rate shall be the market rate used to determine the transportation cost in the foregoing paragraph. That information shall be used as the applicable market rate until either party requests that new rate sheets be obtained.
3.    Naphtha
The Product Price for Naphtha shall be Fort Saskatchewan monthly blended average C5 (C5 FSK BLX) minus (i) $(***) and (ii) freight charges to the Product’s destination (rail rate, plus fuel surcharge, but excluding rail car lease cost).
