Furthermore, an individual Easement granted herein shall be deemed terminated if such Easement is abandoned by a Party pursuant to applicable law. In the event that an Easement is terminated as provided in this Section 4.2, the Parties agree to execute a memorandum giving notice of such termination, and the Parties shall record such memorandum in the county real estate records.

4.3 Reserved Rights; Modification of Easement Areas. Each Party, as grantor, hereto reserves for itself the right from time to time to remove, relocate, expand, substitute and use, at its sole cost and expense, any building, improvement, structure, equipment, road, pipeline, curb cut, utility or other facility currently or hereafter existing on its Parcel within an applicable Easement Area; provided, however, that in no event shall the exercise of any of foregoing rights by a Party deprive or materially adversely affect or interfere with the use by the other Party hereto of the Easements herein granted to such other Party or the exercise of such other Party’s rights thereunder.

4.4 Service Agreements; Provision of Services. The Parties intend that this Agreement and the Easements granted herein do not cover the specifics of the provision of the services (e.g., feedstock, coke, water, etc.) attendant to the purposes of the Easements. Instead, the Parties’ agreements regarding the services themselves are detailed in the Service Agreements. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to in anyway modify, impair or otherwise limit the specific provisions or stated purposes of the Service Agreements.

4.5 Maintenance – General. With regard to those facilities, improvements and equipment of any kind, including pipelines, pipe racks and conduits, owned by a Party on its Parcel which are necessary to carry out the purposes of one or more Service Agreements or the Easements granted herein, Fertilizer Company and Refinery Company each agree to maintain in good order and condition (with the term ‘maintain’, as used in this paragraph, hereby deemed inclusive of repairs and replacements, as necessary) at its sole cost and expense, those facilities, improvements and equipment located on its Parcel. Each Party shall also maintain its facilities, equipment and other improvements up to the Interconnect Points therefor which are located on the other Party’s Parcel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party has the obligation at any time to maintain Facilities owned by the other Party, whether such facilities, equipment and other improvements are located on the other Party’s Parcel or on a Party’s own Parcel.

4.6 Unavoidable Delay. Neither Party shall be deemed to be in default in the performance of any obligation created under or pursuant to this Agreement, other than an obligation requiring the execution of documents or the payment of money, if and so long as non-performance of such obligation shall be directly caused by fire or other casualty, national emergency, governmental or municipal law or restrictions, enemy action, civil commotion, strikes, lockouts, inability to obtain labor or materials, war or national defense preemptions, acts of God, energy shortages, or similar causes beyond the reasonable control of such Party (each, an “Unavoidable Delay”) and the time limit for such performance shall be extended for a period equal to the period of such Unavoidable Delay; provided, however, that the Party unable to perform (the “Non-Performing Party”) shall notify the other Party in writing, of the existence and nature of any Unavoidable Delay, within ten (10) days after such other Party has notified the Non-Performing Party pursuant to the Agreement of its failure to perform. Thereafter, the Non-Performing Party shall, from time to time upon written request of the other Party, keep the other Party fully informed, in writing, of all further developments concerning the Unavoidable Delay and its non-performances.

4.7 Right of Self-Help. If a Non-Performing Party shall default in its performance of an obligation under this Agreement, the other Party, (the “Performing Party”), in addition to all other remedies such Performing Party may have at law or in equity, after fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to Non-Performing Party and to any First Mortgage holder of whose interest Performing Party has actual knowledge (or in the event of an emergency, after giving such notice as is practical under the circumstances), may (but shall not be obligated to) perform Non-Performing Party’s obligation, in which case Non-Performing Party shall promptly reimburse Performing Party: (a) all reasonable expenses, including, but not limited to, fees of counsel, incurred by Performing Party to so perform the cure and to prepare and record the lien allowed in this Section 4.7 hereinafter mentioned; and (b) interest thereon from the date of each outlay (until the date paid in full, inclusive of interest) at a rate equal to the lesser of: (i) two percent (2%) per annum over the then-current prime commercial rate of interest as published by the Wall Street Journal (or if no longer published, a comparable rate of a nationally recognized publication designated by Performing Party); or (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law to be paid by Non-Performing Party.

4.8 Safety Measures. Each Party hereto in the exercise of any of the Easement rights and interests granted to it hereunder shall take all safety and precautionary measures necessary to protect the other Party hereto and its Parcel and the improvements thereon from any injury or damage caused by the exercise of such rights and interests.

4.9 Compliance with Laws. In all Work required of a Party or otherwise allowed under this Agreement, and in connection with all entries by one Party onto the other Party’s Parcel permitted hereunder, each Party’s Work, entries and related actions of any kind shall comply with all applicable requirements, administrative and judicial orders, laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations of all federal, state, county, municipal and local departments, commissions, boards, bureaus, agencies and offices thereof having or claiming jurisdiction.

4.10 Plant Security; Rules and Restrictions. Each Party hereto may, from time to time and with advance notice to and reasonable coordination with the other Party, impose reasonable rules and restrictions with regard to use of the various Easements within its Parcel which are herein granted to the other Party, specifically including, without limitation, reasonable security measures and restrictions which may be instituted from time to time by a Party within its Parcel; provided, however, that no rule or regulation imposed pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall materially interfere with a Party’s ability as a grantee to effectively utilize an Easement granted in this Agreement.

4.11 Temporary Closure of Easement Areas. Each Party shall have the right from time to time and with advance notice to and reasonable coordination with the other Party (except in the event of an emergency, in which case advance notice need not be given) to temporarily close off and/or erect barriers across certain Easement Areas, as deemed reasonably necessary by the Party owning the servient Parcel under a given Easement, for the following purposes: (i) blocking off access to an area in order to avoid the possibility of dedicating the same for public use or creating prescriptive rights therein; and (ii) attending to security issues which threaten the industrial operations within an Easement Area. During the period of any such temporary closure, the Party taking the closing action shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the other Party such continuous alternate access and usage rights as are provided in the applicable Easement.

4.13 Title Matters; Mortgage Subordination; and Subsequent Grants.

(A) Except as provided in paragraph (B) of this Section 4.13, the Easements and rights granted hereunder are made subject to any and all prior existing easements, grants, leases, licenses, agreements, encumbrances, defects and other matters and states of fact affecting the Parcels, or any part thereof, as of the Effective Date whether or not of record and the rights of others with respect thereto. Each Party, as grantee under the each of various Easements, agrees to abide by the terms of all matters of public record or of which it otherwise has notice binding upon the other Party, as the owner of the servient Parcel pursuant to such Easement(s).

(B) The lien of any existing first mortgage or deed of trust (a “First Mortgage”) on the Parcels has been subordinated to this Agreement pursuant to the Consent of Mortgage Holder pages attached hereto. The liens of any future First Mortgages and the interest of any entity holding the position of lessor on what is commonly referred to as a “sale-leaseback”, “synthetic lease”, or “lease-leaseback” transaction (“S/L Lease”) are also hereby automatically subordinated to this Agreement.

(C) Amendments and other modifications to this Agreement shall be considered an extension of the rights granted herein and shall remain superior to any future mortgage, deed of trust or other encumbrance placed upon the property or appearing in title prior to such amendment or modification. Each of Fertilizer Company and Refinery Company, in its role as grantor, as applicable, agrees to promptly execute such instruments as may be required to confirm such priority.

(D) Each Party hereto shall have the continuing right to grant easements and other rights and interests in and to, and permit uses of the Parcel owned by it in favor of and by such other parties as each Party may deem appropriate; provided, however, that any such easements, rights, interests and uses shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Easements granted herein and shall not materially interfere with the grantee Party’s rights and usage of the Easements granted herein.

4.14 Easement Appurtenant to Land under Common Ownership. The Easements granted in this Agreement are appurtenant to the dominant estate Parcels as indicated herein and are also appurtenant to any land that may hereafter come into common ownership with the dominant estate Parcel thereunder which is contiguous thereto. An area physically separated from such dominant estate Parcel but having access thereto by means of a public right-of-way or a private easement (including the Easements granted herein) is deemed to be contiguous to such Parcel.

4.15 Cooperation. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that upon reasonable request of the other, at the cost and expense of the requesting Party, each Party shall promptly and duly execute and deliver such reasonable documents and take such further reasonable action to acknowledge, confirm and effect the intent of, and actions described in, this Agreement and the Easements herein.

The Parties shall first submit the Dispute to a designated Fertilizer Company representative and Refinery Company Representative, who shall then meet within fifteen (15) days to resolve the Dispute. If the Dispute has not been resolved within forty-five (45) days after the submission of the Dispute to such representatives, the Dispute shall be submitted to a mutually agreed non-binding mediation. The costs and expenses of the mediator shall be borne equally by the Parties, and the Parties shall pay their own respective attorneys’ fees and other costs. If the Dispute is not resolved by mediation within ninety (90) days after the Dispute is first submitted to the Refinery Company representative and the Fertilizer Company representative as provided above, then the Parties may exercise all available remedies and file all actions and proceedings in connection therewith.

5.2 Multi-Party Disputes. The Parties acknowledge that they or their respective affiliates contemplate entering or have entered into various additional agreements with third parties that relate to the subject matter of this Agreement and that, as a consequence, Disputes may arise hereunder that involve such third parties. Accordingly, the Parties agree, with the consent of such third parties, that any such Dispute, to the extent feasible, shall be resolved by and among all the interested parties consistent with the provisions of this Article 5.

ARTICLE 6. INDEMNIFICATION

6.1 Indemnification Obligations. To the extent not otherwise provided for in the Service Agreements, each of the Parties (each, an “Indemnitor”) shall indemnify, defend and hold the other Party and its respective officers, directors, members, managers and employees (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, losses, damages, penalties, deficiencies, causes of action, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against the person seeking indemnification that are caused by, are attributable to, result from or arise out of the breach of this Agreement by the Indemnitor or the negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitor, or of any officers, directors, members, managers, employees, agents, contractors and/or subcontractors acting for or on behalf of the Indemnitor. Any indemnification obligation pursuant to this Article 6 with respect to any particular Losses shall be reduced by all amounts actually recovered by the Indemnitee from third parties, or from applicable insurance coverage, with respect to such Losses. Upon making any payment to any Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee against any third party in respect of the Losses to which such payment relates, and such Indemnitee shall execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect such subrogation rights. If the Indemnitee receives any amounts from any third party or under applicable insurance coverage subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnitor, then such Indemnitee shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitor for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnitor in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received by the Indemnitee, net of any expenses incurred by such Indemnitee in collecting such amount.

6.2 Indemnification Procedures.

(A) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action that may result in a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 6, the Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnitor in writing within thirty (30) days thereafter; provided, however, that any omission to so notify the Indemnitor will not relieve it of any liability for indemnification hereunder as to the particular item for which indemnification may then be sought (except to the extent that the failure to give notice shall have been materially prejudicial to the Indemnitor) nor from any other liability that it may have to any Indemnitee. The Indemnitor shall have the right to assume sole and exclusive control of the defense of any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 6, including the choice and direction of any legal counsel.

(B) An Indemnitee shall have the right to engage separate legal counsel in any action as to which indemnification may be sought under any provision of this Agreement and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee unless: (i) the Indemnitor has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the Indemnitor has failed to assume the defense thereof and engage legal counsel within a reasonable period of time after being given the notice required above; or (iii) the

Indemnitee shall have been advised by its legal counsel that representation of such Indemnitee and other parties by the same legal counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct (whether or not such representation by the same legal counsel has been proposed) due to actual or potential conflicts of interests between them. It is understood, however, that to the extent more than one Indemnitee is entitled to engage separate legal counsel at the Indemnitor’s expense pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Indemnitor shall, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of only one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such Indemnitees having the same or substantially similar claims against the Indemnitor, unless but only to the extent the Indemnitees have actual or potential conflicting interests with each other.

(C) The Indemnitor shall not be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its written consent, but if settled with such written consent, or if there is a final judgment against the Indemnitee in any such action, the Indemnitor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee to the extent provided above from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment.

6.3 Survival. The provisions of this Article 6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

6.4 Service Agreements Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in Section 6.1, (i) the intent of the Parties with regard to indemnification matters under this Agreement is that they are not duplicative of the indemnification obligations set forth in the Service Agreements; and (ii) to the extent an indemnity matter is otherwise covered by a Service Agreement, the Service Agreement indemnification obligation shall govern and control, and this Article 6 shall have no force or effect with respect to that particular indemnity matter. The indemnification obligations hereunder shall not under any circumstance be deemed to create overlapping or duplicative indemnification obligations for the Parties.

ARTICLE 7. FINANCING REQUIREMENTS

If, in connection with either Party obtaining financing for its respective Parcel, a banking, insurance or other recognized institutional lender shall request any modification(s) to this Agreement as a condition to such financing, the Parties covenant and agree to make such modifications to this Agreement as reasonably requested by such financing party (including the creation of such instrument (in recordable form to the extent required)) provided that such modification(s) do not increase the obligations or reduce the rights of the Parties or adversely (other than in a de minimis respect) affect the Easement interests, rights and privileges granted herein, the Parties’ rights under the Service Agreements, or either Party’s right to otherwise improve, construct, use, operate and maintain its respective Parcel and the improvements, equipment and facilities thereon.

ARTICLE 8. NO LIENS OR ENCUMBRANCES

Each of the Parties, in their role as a grantee, hereby covenants that it shall not, as a result of any act or omission of, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any liens on or with respect to its respective Easement interests and rights of use in the Fertilizer Parcel or the Refinery Parcel, respectively, if such lien shall have or may gain superiority over this Agreement. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the imposition of any such liens not permitted above of which it is aware and shall promptly, at its own expense, take such action as may be necessary to immediately fully discharge or release any such lien of record by payment, bond or otherwise (but this shall not preclude a contest of such lien so long as the same shall be removed of record).

ARTICLE 9. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

This Agreement shall extend to and be binding upon the Parties hereto, their successors, grantees and assigns. Any party who shall succeed to the fee simple ownership interest in a Parcel shall, at the time of such transfer, be automatically deemed to have assumed all obligations of the transferring Party under this Agreement with regard to such Parcel, and the transferring Party shall be released from all obligations of such Party under this Agreement, which arise after the date of such transfer; provided, however, that a transferring Party shall retain liability for all obligations under this Agreement which arose prior to the transfer date.

ARTICLE 10. NOTICES
