(ii) Should the Partnership determine to proceed and construct or cause to be constructed the approved Capital Improvement, the Partnership will obtain bids from two or more general contractors reasonably acceptable to the Company for the construction of the Capital Improvement. Based upon the bids, the Partnership will notify the Company of the total estimated amount necessary to construct such Capital Improvement (which amount shall include the costs of capital, a reasonable rate of return over the remaining Term and any other costs necessary to place such Capital Improvement in service) and the proposed adjustment to the Throughput Fees and the Minimum Throughput Commitments or the Minimum Throughput Capacities required by the Partnership to recover such costs. The Partnership may seek authorization from FERC to increase its Tariff rates to recover such expenditures. The Partnership shall provide notice to the Company of their intention to request such a rate increase. Upon receipt of such notice, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to reach a settlement rate. If the Parties agree to a settlement rate within thirty (30) days, or within such additional time as mutually agreed to by the Parties, the Company shall agree in writing to the proposed rate change and the Partnership shall file the rate change with FERC and submit a verified statement to the FERC indicating the support of the Company. If the Parties do not agree to a settlement rate, the Partnership reserves the right to file a cost-based rate increase with FERC to recover such capital expenditures or to not proceed with the construction of the Capital Improvement.

(iii) Upon completion of the construction of any Capital Improvement, the Partnership will own such Capital Improvement, and will operate and maintain the Capital Improvement in accordance with Applicable Law and recognized industry standards.

4.6 Deficiency Payments.

(a) As soon as practicable following the end of each calendar month under this Agreement, the Partnership shall deliver to the Company a written notice (the “Deficiency Notice”) detailing any failure of the Company to meet its obligations under Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.3, Section 4.4, Section 6.3 or Article 8 of this Agreement. The Deficiency Notice shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the nature of any deficiency and (ii) specify the approximate dollar amount that the Partnership believes would have been paid to the Partnership if the Company had complied with its obligations under Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.3, Section 4.4, Section 6.3 and Article 8 of this Agreement (the “Deficiency Payment”). The Company shall pay the Deficiency Payment to the Partnership upon the later of: (A) ten (10) days after its receipt of the Deficiency Notice and (B) thirty (30) days following the end of the calendar month during which the Deficiency Notice was delivered.

(b) If the Company disagrees with the Deficiency Notice, then, following the payment of the undisputed portion of the Deficiency Payment to the Partnership, a senior officer of the Company and a senior officer of the Partnership shall meet or communicate by telephone at a mutually acceptable time, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary and shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to matters specified in the Deficiency Notice. If such differences are not resolved within thirty (30) days following the payment of any Deficiency Payment, the Company and the Partnership shall, within forty-five (45) days following the payment of such Deficiency Payment, submit any and all matters which remain in dispute and which were properly included in the Deficiency Notice to arbitration in accordance with Article 26. During the 60-day period following the receipt of any Deficiency Notice, the Company shall have the right to inspect and audit the working papers of the Partnership relating to such Deficiency Payment.

(c) If it is determined by arbitration in accordance with Article 26 that any or all of the disputed portion of the Deficiency Payment was required to be paid, the Company shall promptly pay to the Partnership such amount, together with interest thereon from the date provided in the last sentence of Section 4.6(a) at the Prime Rate, in immediately available funds.

4.7 Marketing of Transportation and Storage Services to Third Parties. From and after the Expiration Date, during the Term the Partnership Parties may market transportation services to third parties on the Pipelines and storage services to third parties in the Storage Facilities, provided that, (i) the provision of such transportation and storage services to third parties is not reasonably likely to negatively affect the Company’s ability to use any of the Pipelines or the Storage Facilities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in any material respect, (ii) prior to marketing to any third party the use of either of the Pipelines or the Storage Facilities or the entry into any agreement with respect thereto, the applicable Partnership Party shall have received prior written consent from the Company with respect to such marketing or the entry into such agreement, as applicable, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (iii) to the extent such third-party usage reduces the ability of the Partnership Parties to provide the applicable Minimum Throughput Capacity, the applicable Minimum Throughput

 

15


Commitment shall be proportionately reduced to the extent of the difference between the applicable Minimum Throughput Capacity and the amount that can be throughput in the applicable Pipelines (prorated for the portion of the Contract Quarter during which such Minimum Throughput Capacity was unavailable). Nothing in this Section 4.7 shall be construed to limit any obligation of the Partnership Parties under the Interstate Commerce Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Partnership is not using any portion of the Pipelines (the “Open Assets”) during a Force Majeure event set forth in Article 14 or the twelve-month Notice Period set forth in Article 15, the Partnership Parties may market transportation services to third parties on the Open Assets pursuant to one or more third party agreements without the consent of the Company and the applicable Minimum Throughput Commitment will be proportionately reduced to the extent of such third party usage; provided that such third party agreements shall terminate following the end of the Force Majeure Period or the restoration of Refinery operations, as applicable.

5. Custody, Title and Risk of Loss.

5.1 Subject to Article 28, the Company shall, at all times during the Term, retain exclusive title to the Crude Oil and Products stored by it in the Storage Facilities or transported by it in the Pipelines, and such Crude Oil and Products shall remain the Company’s exclusive property. The Company hereby represents that, at all times during the Term, it holds exclusive title to the Crude Oil and Products stored by it in the Storage Facilities or transported by it in the Pipelines (including the Crude Oil Linefill and the Product Linefill), free and clear of any liens, security interests, encumbrances and claims whatsoever, other than (a) Permitted Liens and (b) any liens, security interests, encumbrances and claims with respect to which the Company has entered into an agreement reasonably acceptable to the Partnership Parties subordinating such lien, security interest, encumbrance or claim to any applicable rights of the Partnership Parties under the Tariffs.

5.2 During the time any Materials are held in any Storage Facilities or transported in any Pipelines, each Partnership Party, in its capacity as operator of the applicable Storage Facility or Pipeline, as the case may be, shall be solely responsible for compliance with all Applicable Laws, including all Environmental Laws, pertaining to the possession, handling, use and processing of such Materials.

5.3 Title and risk of loss to all of the Materials stored in the Storage Facilities or transported in the Pipelines shall remain at all times with the Company. The Company shall, during each month, (i) be entitled to all volumetric gains in the Storage Facilities and the Pipelines and (ii) be responsible for all volumetric losses in the Storage Facilities and the Pipelines up to a maximum of 0.25%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership Parties shall be responsible for (i) any contamination of the Materials stored in the Storage Facilities or transported in the Pipelines during the Term and (ii) any other loss or damage to the Materials stored in the Storage Facilities or transported in the Pipelines during the Term to the extent such loss or damage is caused by or attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of a Partnership Party or any of its employees or agents.

 

16


5.4 During the Term, the Partnership Parties shall hold all Materials in the Storage Facilities and the Pipelines solely as bailee, and represent and warrant that when any such Materials are redelivered to the Company or any party designated by the Company, the Company or such designated party shall have good title thereto free and clear of any liens, security interests, encumbrances and claims of any kind whatsoever created or caused to be created by the Partnership Parties, other than Permitted Liens. During the Term, none of the Partnership Parties or any of their Affiliates shall (and the Partnership Parties shall not permit any of their Affiliates or any other Person to) use any such Materials for any purpose. Solely in its capacity as bailee, the Partnership Parties shall have custody of the Crude Oil stored or transported under this Agreement from the time such Crude Oil passes the Crude Intake Point until such time that the Crude Oil passes the applicable Crude Delivery Point.

6. Condition and Maintenance of Storage Facilities and Pipelines.

6.1 Interruption of Service. The Partnership shall use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize the interruption of service on the Pipelines or at the Storage Facilities and shall use its best efforts to minimize the impact of any such interruption on the Company. The Partnership shall inform the Company at least 60 days in advance (or promptly, in the case of an unplanned interruption) of any anticipated partial or complete interruption of service (i) on any Pipeline or (ii) of the Storage Facilities, including relevant information about the nature, extent, cause and expected duration of the interruption and the actions the Partnership is taking to resume full operations, provided that the Partnership shall not have any liability for any failure to notify, or delay in notifying, the Company of any such matters except to the extent the Company has been materially damaged by such failure or delay.

6.2 Maintenance and Repair Standards. Subject to Force Majeure and interruptions for planned repair and maintenance scheduled in advance and other routine repair and maintenance consistent with industry standards, the Partnership Parties shall maintain (i) the Magnolia Pipeline with sufficient aggregate capacity to throughput a volume of Crude Oil at least equal to the Magnolia Pipeline Minimum Throughput Capacity, (ii) the El Dorado Crude Pipeline with sufficient aggregate capacity to throughput a volume of Crude Oil at least equal to the El Dorado Crude Pipeline Minimum Throughput Capacity, (iii) the Diesel Pipeline with sufficient aggregate capacity to throughput a volume of Crude Oil at least equal to the Diesel Pipeline Minimum Throughput Capacity and (iv) the Gasoline Pipeline with sufficient capacity to throughput a volume of Crude Oil at least equal to the Gasoline Pipeline Minimum Throughput Capacity. The Partnership Parties’ obligations may be temporarily suspended during the occurrence of, and for the entire duration of, a Force Majeure or interruptions for routine repair and maintenance consistent with industry standards that prevent the Partnership Parties from providing the applicable Minimum Throughput Capacity. To the extent the Company is prevented for 30 or more days in any Contract Year from (i) throughputting volumes on the Magnolia Pipeline equal to the full Magnolia Pipeline Minimum Throughput Capacity and (ii) throughputting volumes on the Lion Crude Pipelines equal to at least the Lion Crude Minimum Throughput Commitment for reasons of Force Majeure or other interruption of service affecting the facilities or assets of the Partnership Parties, then the Lion Crude Minimum Throughput Commitment shall be proportionately reduced to the extent of the difference between the Lion Crude Minimum Throughput Capacity and the amount that the Partnership Parties can effectively throughput in the Lion Crude Pipelines (prorated for the portion of the Contract Quarter during which the Lion Crude Minimum Throughput Capacity was unavailable) regardless of whether actual throughput prior to the reduction was below the Lion Crude

 

17


Minimum Throughput Commitment. To the extent the Company is prevented for 30 or more days in any Contract Year from (i) throughputting volumes on the El Dorado Crude Pipeline equal to at least the El Dorado Crude Pipeline Minimum Throughput Capacity or (ii) throughputting volumes on the Products Pipeline equal to at least the Products Minimum Throughput Commitment for reasons of Force Majeure or other interruption of service affecting the facilities or assets of the Partnership Parties, then the applicable Minimum Throughput Commitment shall be proportionately reduced to the extent of the difference between the applicable Minimum Throughput Capacity and the amount that the Partnership Parties can effectively throughput in such Pipelines (prorated for the portion of the Contract Quarter during which the applicable Minimum Throughput Capacity was unavailable) regardless of whether actual throughput amounts prior to the reduction were below the applicable Minimum Throughput Commitments. At such time as the Partnership Parties are capable of throughputting volumes equal to the full applicable Minimum Throughput Capacity, the Company’s obligation to throughput the full applicable Minimum Throughput Commitment shall be restored. If for any reason, including, without limitation, a Force Majeure event, the throughput of the Pipelines should fall below the applicable Minimum Throughput Capacity, then with due diligence and dispatch, the Partnership Parties shall make repairs to the Pipelines to restore the capacity of the Pipelines to that required for throughput of the applicable Minimum Throughput Capacity (“Restoration”). Except as provided below in Section 6.3, all of such Restoration shall be at the Partnership Parties’ cost and expense, unless the damage creating the need for such repairs was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Company, its employees, agents or customers. The Partnership Parties shall maintain the Gathering System and the Rail Pipeline in good working order.

6.3 Capacity Resolution. In the event of the failure of the Partnership Parties to maintain the Pipelines with sufficient capacity to throughput the applicable Minimum Throughput Capacity, then either Party shall have the right to call a meeting between executives of both Parties by providing at least two (2) Business Days’ advance written notice. Any such meeting shall be held at a mutually agreeable location and will be attended by executives of both Parties each having sufficient authority to commit his or her respective Party to a Capacity Resolution (hereinafter defined). At the meeting, the Parties will negotiate in good faith with the objective of reaching a joint resolution for the Restoration which will, among other things, specify steps to be taken by the Partnership Parties to fully accomplish the Restoration and the deadlines by which the Restoration must be completed (the “Capacity Resolution”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Capacity Resolution shall set forth an agreed upon time schedule for the Restoration activities. Such time schedule shall be reasonable under the circumstances, consistent with customary pipeline transportation and terminal industry standards and shall take into consideration the Partnership Parties’ economic considerations relating to costs of the repairs and the Company’s requirements concerning its refining and marketing operations. The Partnership Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to provide throughput of the Materials, to the extent the Pipelines have capability of doing so, during the period before Restoration is completed. In the event that the Company’s economic considerations justify incurring additional costs to complete the Restoration in a more expedited manner than the time schedule determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Company may require the Partnership Parties to expedite the Restoration to the extent reasonably possible, subject to the Company’s payment, in advance, of the estimated incremental costs to be incurred as a result of the expedited time schedule. In the event the Parties agree to an expedited

 

18


Restoration plan wherein the Company agrees to fund a portion of the Restoration cost, then neither Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.2 below so long as such Restoration is completed with due diligence and dispatch, and the Company shall pay its portion of the Restoration Cost to the Partnership in advance based on a good faith estimate based on reasonable engineering standards. Upon completion, the Company shall pay the difference between the actual portion of Restoration costs to be paid by the Company pursuant to this Section 6.3 and the estimated amount paid under the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Partnership’s invoice therefor, or, if appropriate, the Partnership shall pay the Company the excess of the estimate paid by the Company over the Partnership Parties’ actual costs as previously described within thirty (30) days after completion of the Restoration.

6.4 The Partnership Parties will endeavor to ensure that no Materials shall be contaminated with scale or other materials, chemicals, water or any other impurities. In lieu of any obligation to indemnify the Lion Indemnitees pursuant to Section 17.1(i) with respect to any such contamination, the Partnership Parties may, at their sole option, require the Company, at the Partnership Parties’ sole expense, to reprocess or otherwise treat any such contaminated Products to restore those Products to salable condition.

6.5 During the Term of this Agreement, the Partnership Parties shall, at their sole cost and expense, take all actions reasonably necessary or appropriate to obtain, apply for, maintain, monitor, renew, and/or modify as appropriate, any license authorization, certification, filing, recording, permit, waiver, exception, variance, franchise, order or other approval with or of any governmental authority pertaining or relating to the operation of the Storage Facilities (the “Required Permits”) as presently operated. The Partnership Parties shall not do anything in connection with the performance of their obligations under this Agreement that causes a termination or suspension of the Required Permits.

6.6 The execution of this Agreement by the Parties does not confer any obligation or responsibility on the Company in connection with: (i) any existing or future environmental condition at the Storage Facilities (collectively, the “Facility”), including, but not limited to the presence of a regulated or hazardous substance on or in environment media at the Facility (including the presence in surface water, groundwater, soils or subsurface strata, or air), including the subsequent migration of any such substance; (ii) any environmental law; (iii) the Required Permits; or (iv) any requirements arising under or relating to any Applicable Law pertaining or relating to the operation of the Facility.

6.7 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Partnership Parties shall be the operator of the Storage Facilities in all respects, and the Company shall have no power or authority to direct the activities of the Partnership Parties or to exert control over the operation of the Storage Facilities or any portion thereof.

6.8 Materials may require the application of heat or steam by the Partnership Parties to maintain the same in a liquid free-flowing or pumpable state. The Partnership Parties agree to provide the required heat at the Partnership Parties’ cost. Recalibration, or strapping, of the Storage Facilities may be performed from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Supply and Offtake Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Partnership Parties shall regularly grant Supplier’s Inspector such access from the last day of each month until the third Business Day of the ensuing month. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if an Event of Default with respect to the Partnership Parties has occurred and is continuing, the Company and its representatives and agents shall have unlimited and unrestricted access to the Storage Facilities and the Pipelines for so long as such Event of Default continues.

7.2 When accessing the facilities of the Partnership Parties, the Company and its representatives (including one or more Supplier’s Inspectors) shall at all times comply with Applicable Law and such safety directives and guidelines as may be furnished to the Company by the Partnership Parties in writing from time to time.

8. Throughput and Handling Services.

8.1 From time to time during the Term, the Partnership Parties shall perform such additional throughput, handling and measuring services not provided in the Tariffs as the Company shall reasonably request (collectively, “Services”). If any Services are requested by the Company, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine whether such Services shall be provided and the appropriate rates to be charged for such Services.

8.2 The Company may, in its discretion, provide written instructions relating to specific Services it is requesting or provide standing written instructions relating to ongoing Services. The Company may, at any time on reasonable prior notice, revoke or modify any instruction it has previously given, whether such previous instructions relate to a specific Service or are instructions relating to an ongoing Service or Services. The Partnership Parties shall not be required to perform any requested Services that they reasonably believe violates Applicable Law or will materially adversely interfere with, or be detrimental to, the operation of the Storage Facilities or Refinery.

8.3 The Partnership Parties agree to keep the Storage Facilities, including the Pipelines, open for receipt and redelivery of the Company’s or its assignee’s Materials twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week.

9. Scheduling and Measurements.

9.1 The Company shall provide notice to the Partnership Parties prior to each calendar month as to the estimated quantities of Crude Oil that it expects to deliver to the Crude Storage Tanks, the estimated quantities of Crude Oil it expects to transport on the Crude Oil Pipelines and the estimated quantities of Products it expects to transport on the Product Pipelines.

13. [Reserved].

14. Force Majeure.

14.1 In the event that a Party is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by a Force Majeure event to perform its obligations under this Agreement, then upon the delivery by such Party (the “Force Majeure Party”) of written notice (a “Force Majeure Notice”) and full particulars of the Force Majeure event within a reasonable time after the occurrence of the Force Majeure event relied on, the obligations of the Parties, to the extent they are affected by the Force Majeure event, shall be suspended for the duration of any inability so caused; provided that (i) prior to the third anniversary of the Commencement Date, the Company shall be required to continue to make payments (1) for the Throughput Fees for volumes actually delivered under this Agreement, (2) for the fees, if any, for Services performed under Article 8 and (3) for any Shortfall Payments unless, in the case of (3), the Force Majeure event is an event that adversely affects the Partnership Parties’ ability to perform the services they are required to perform under this Agreement in which case, instead of Shortfall Payments, Throughput Fees shall only be paid as provided under (i)(1) above and (ii) from and after the third anniversary of the Commencement Date, the Company shall be required to continue to make payments (1) for the Throughput Fees for volumes actually delivered under this Agreement and (2) for the fees, if any, for Services provided under Article 8. The Force Majeure Party shall identify in such Force Majeure Notice the approximate length of time that it believes in good faith such Force Majeure event shall continue (the “Force Majeure Period”). The Company shall be required to pay any amounts accrued and due under this Agreement at the time of the Force Majeure event. The cause of the Force Majeure event shall so far as possible be remedied with all reasonable dispatch, except that no Party shall be compelled to resolve any strikes, lockouts or other industrial disputes other than as it shall determine to be in its best interests. Prior to the third anniversary of the Commencement Date, any suspension of the obligations of the Parties under this Section 14.1 as a result of a Force Majeure event that adversely affects the Partnership’s ability to perform the services it is required to perform under this Agreement shall extend the Term for the same period of time as such Force Majeure event continues (up to a maximum of one year) unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 14.2.

14.2 If the Force Majeure Party advises in any Force Majeure Notice that it reasonably believes in good faith that the Force Majeure Period shall continue for more than twelve (12) consecutive months beyond the third anniversary of the Commencement Date, then at any time after the delivery of such Force Majeure Notice, either Party may deliver to the other Party a notice of termination (a “Termination Notice”), which Termination Notice shall become effective not earlier than twelve (12) months after the later to occur of (a) delivery of the Termination Notice and (b) the third anniversary of the Commencement Date; provided, however, that such Termination Notice shall be deemed cancelled and of no effect if the Force Majeure Period ends before the Termination Notice becomes effective; provided, further, that

 

26


upon the cancellation of any Termination Notice, the Parties’ respective obligations hereunder shall resume as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, and the Term shall be extended by the same period of time as is required for the Parties to resume such obligations. After (a) the third anniversary of the Commencement Date and (b) the Expiration Date and following delivery of a Termination Notice, the Partnership may terminate this Agreement, to the extent affected by the Force Majeure event, upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Company in order to enter into an agreement to provide any third party the services provided to the Company under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement for so long as the Company continues to make Shortfall Payments.

15. Suspension of Refinery Operations

15.1 From and after the second anniversary of the Commencement Date, in the event that the Company decides to permanently or indefinitely suspend refining operations at the Refinery for a period that shall continue for at least twelve (12) consecutive months, the Company may provide written notice to the Partnership of the Company’s intent to terminate this Agreement (the “Suspension Notice”). Such Suspension Notice shall be sent at any time (but not prior to the second anniversary of the Commencement Date) after the Company has notified the Partnership of such suspension and, upon the expiration of the period of twelve (12) months (which may run concurrently with the twelve (12) month period described in the immediately preceding sentence) following the date such notice is sent (the “Notice Period”), this Agreement shall terminate. If the Company notifies the Partnership, more than two months prior to the expiration of the Notice Period, of its intent to resume operations at the Refinery, then the Suspension Notice shall be deemed revoked and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such Suspension Notice had never been delivered. During the Notice Period, the Company shall remain liable for Shortfall Payments. Subject to Section 15.2 and after the Expiration Date, during the Notice Period the Partnership may terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Company in order to enter into an agreement to provide any third party the services provided to the Company under this Agreement.

15.2 If refining operations at the Refinery are suspended for any reason (including refinery turnaround operations and other scheduled maintenance), then the Company shall remain liable for Deficiency Payments under this Agreement for the duration of the suspension, unless and until this Agreement is terminated as provided above. The Company shall provide at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any suspension of operations at the Refinery due to a planned turnaround or scheduled maintenance, provided that the Company shall not have any liability for any failure to notify, or delay in notifying, the Partnership of any such suspension except to the extent a Partnership Party has been materially damaged by such failure or delay.

15.3 After the Expiration Date, in the event the operations of the Refinery are suspended under this Article 15 or as a result of a Force Majeure event, the Partnership Parties shall have the right to provide transportation and storage services to third parties on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 4.7.

16. Event of Default: Remedies Upon Event of Default.

16.1 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

(a) Any Party fails to make payment when due (i) under Article 4 within one (1) Business Day after a written demand therefor or (ii) under any other provision hereof within five (5) Business Days thereafter; or

(b) Other than a default described in Section 16.1(a) or (c), the Company or any Partnership Party fails to perform any material obligation or covenant to the other under this Agreement, which is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of any other Party (in its sole discretion) within ten (10) Business Days after the date that such Party receives written notice that such obligation or covenant has not been performed; or

(c) Any Party breaches any representation or warranty made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated by the Party, or any warranty or representation proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated; provided, however, that if such breach is curable, such breach is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the other Party within ten (10) Business Days after the date that such Party receives notice that corrective action is needed; or

(d) Any Party becomes Bankrupt; or

(e) Any Partnership Party breaches in a material respect its obligations under Section 10.1(a).

16.2 Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, if an Event of Default with respect to the Company or any Partnership Party (such defaulting Party, the “Defaulting Party”) has occurred and is continuing, the Non-Defaulting Party shall have the right, immediately and at any time(s) thereafter, to terminate this Agreement.

16.3 Without limiting any other rights or remedies hereunder, if an Event of Default occurs and the Company is the Non-Defaulting Party, the Company may, in its discretion, (i) withhold or suspend its obligations, including any of its delivery or payment obligations, under this Agreement, (ii) reclaim and repossess any and all of its Materials held at the Storage Facilities or elsewhere on the Partnership Party’s premises, and (iii) otherwise arrange for the disposition of any of its Materials in such manner as it elects.

16.4 If an Event of Default occurs, the Non-Defaulting Party may, without limitation on its rights under this Article 16, set off amounts which the Defaulting Party owes to it against any amounts which it owes to the Defaulting Party (whether hereunder, under any other agreement or contract or otherwise and whether or not then due). Any net amount due hereunder shall be payable by the Party owing such amount within one business day of termination.

16.5 The Non-Defaulting Party’s rights under this Article 16 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights which the Non-Defaulting Party may have (whether by agreement, operation of law or otherwise), including without limitation any rights of

 

28


recoupment, setoff, combination of accounts, as a secured party or under any other credit support. The Defaulting Party shall indemnify and hold the Non-Defaulting Party harmless from all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred in the exercise of any remedies hereunder.

16.6 No delay or failure by the Non-Defaulting Party in exercising any right or remedy to which it may be entitled on account of any Event of Default shall constitute an abandonment of any such right, and the Non-Defaulting Party shall be entitled to exercise such right or remedy at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default.

17. Indemnification.

17.1 The Partnership Parties shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents, contractors, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Lion Indemnitees”) from and against any Liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of (i) any breach by the Partnership Parties of any covenant or agreement contained herein or made in connection herewith or any representation or warranty of any Partnership Party made herein or in connection herewith proving to be false or misleading, (ii) any failure by the Partnership Parties, their Affiliates or any of their respective employees, representatives, agents or contractors to comply with or observe any Applicable Law, or (iii) injury, disease, or death of any Person or damage to or loss of any property, fine or penalty, any of which is caused by the Partnership Parties, their Affiliates or any of their respective employees, representatives, agents or contractors in the exercise of any of the rights granted hereunder or the handling, storage, transportation or disposal of any Materials hereunder, except to the extent that such injury, disease, death, or damage to or loss of property was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Lion Indemnitees, their Affiliates or any of their respective employees, representatives, agents or contractors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership Parties’ liability to the Lion Indemnitees pursuant to this Section 17.1 shall be (x) subject to the rights of the Partnership Parties pursuant to Section 6.4 and (y) net of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Lion Indemnitees or any of their respective Affiliates from any third Person with respect to or on account of the damage or injury which is the subject of the indemnification claim. The Company agrees that it shall, and shall cause the other Lion Indemnitees to, (a) use all commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the collection of all insurance proceeds to which any of the Lion Indemnitees are entitled with respect to or on account of any such damage or injury, (b) notify the Partnership of all potential claims against any third Person for any such insurance proceeds, and (c) keep the Partnership fully informed of the efforts of the Lion Indemnitees in pursuing collection of such insurance proceeds.

17.2 The Company shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership Parties, their Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents, contractors, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Partnership Indemnitees”) from and against any Liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of (i) any breach by the Company of any covenant or agreement contained herein or made in connection herewith or any representation or warranty of the Company made herein or in connection herewith proving to be false or misleading, (ii) any failure by the Company, its Affiliates or any of their respective employees, representatives, agents or contractors to comply with or observe any Applicable Law,

 

29


or (iii) injury, disease, or death of any Person or damage to or loss of any property, fine or penalty, any of which is caused by the Company, its Affiliates or any of their respective employees, representatives, agents or contractors in the exercise of any of the rights granted hereunder or the handling, storage, transportation or disposal of any Materials hereunder, except to the extent that such injury, disease, death, or damage to or loss of property was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Partnership Indemnitees, their Affiliates or any of their respective employees, representatives, agents or contractors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s liability to the Partnership Indemnitees pursuant to this Section 17.2 shall be net of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Partnership Indemnitees or any of their respective Affiliates from any third Person with respect to or on account of the damage or injury which is the subject of the indemnification claim. The Partnership agrees that it shall, and shall cause the other Partnership Indemnitees to, (c) use all commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the collection of all insurance proceeds to which any of the Partnership Indemnitees are entitled with respect to or on account of any such damage or injury, (b) notify the Company of all potential claims against any third Person for any such insurance proceeds, and (c) keep the Company fully informed of the efforts of the Partnership Indemnitees in pursuing collection of such insurance proceeds.

17.3 THE FOREGOING INDEMNITIES ARE INTENDED TO BE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST THE PARTIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXPRESS TERMS AND SCOPE THEREOF NOTWITHSTANDING ANY EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE RULE OR ANY SIMILAR DIRECTIVE THAT WOULD PROHIBIT OR OTHERWISE LIMIT INDEMNITIES BECAUSE OF THE SOLE, CONCURRENT, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR FAULT OF ANY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES (EXCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF SECTION 17.1(iii) AND SECTION 17.2(iii), GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT).

18. Limitation on Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither Party shall be liable or responsible to the other Party or such other Party’s affiliated Persons for any consequential, punitive, special, incidental or exemplary damages, or for loss of profits or revenues (collectively referred to as “Special Damages”) incurred by such Party or its affiliated Persons 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.

19. Audit and Inspection. During the Term, the Company and its duly authorized representatives, upon reasonable notice and during normal working hours, shall have access to the accounting records and other documents maintained by the Partnership Parties, or any of their contractors and agents, which relate to this Agreement, and shall have the right to audit such records at any reasonable time or times during the Term of this Agreement and for a period of up to three years after termination of this Agreement. Claims as to shortage in quantity or defects in quality shall be made by written notice within thirty (30) days after the delivery in question or shall be deemed to have been waived. The right to inspect or audit such records shall survive termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years following the end of the Term. The Partnership Parties shall preserve, and shall cause all contractors or agents to preserve, all of the aforesaid documents for a period of at least two (2) years from the end of the Term.

Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to retain the other Party’s 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 20.1. Each Party further agrees to take the same care with the other Party’s Confidential Information as it does with its own, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care.

The receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the disclosing Party’s 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.

20.3 Return of Information. Upon written request by the disclosing Party, all of the disclosing Party’s 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 Party’s 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 Party’s 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 20.3, and such archived or back-up Confidential Information shall not be accessed except as required by Applicable Law.

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. Any third party contractors that are given access to

 

31


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.

21.2 To the extent that any provision of this Agreement conflicts with the provisions of any Tariff then in effect, the provisions of such Tariff shall control.

22. Assignment.

22.1 Except as set forth in Article 28, the Company shall not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the Partnership’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that (A) the Company may assign this Agreement without the Partnership’s consent in connection with a sale by the Company of all or substantially all of the Refinery, including by merger, equity sale, asset sale or otherwise, so long as the transferee: (1) agrees to assume all of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement and (2) is financially and operationally capable of fulfilling the terms of this Agreement, which determination shall be made by the Company in its reasonable judgment; and (B) the Company shall be permitted to make a collateral assignment of this Agreement solely to secure financing for Delek US and its Affiliates.

24. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

24.1 The failure of a Party hereunder to assert a right or enforce an obligation of any of the other Parties shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or obligation. The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of, or Event of Default or Default under, this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other breach of that provision or as a waiver of any breach of another provision of, Event of Default or potential Event of Default under, this Agreement, whether of a like kind or different nature.

24.2 Each and every right granted to the Parties under this Agreement or allowed it by law or equity, shall be cumulative and may be exercised from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof and Applicable Law.

25. Nature of Transaction and Relationship of Parties.

25.1 This Agreement shall not be construed as creating a partnership, association or joint venture among the Parties. It is understood that the Partnership Parties are independent contractors with complete charge of their employees and agents in the performance of their duties hereunder, and nothing herein shall be construed to make a Partnership Party, or any employee or agent of the Partnership Party, an agent or employee of the Company.

25.2 No Party shall have the right or authority to negotiate, conclude or execute any contract or legal document with any third person; to assume, create, or incur any liability of any kind, express or implied, against or in the name of any of the other Parties; or to otherwise act as the representative of any of the other Parties, unless expressly authorized in writing by such other Party.

26. Arbitration Provision. Any and all Arbitrable Disputes shall be resolved through the use of binding arbitration using three arbitrators, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as supplemented to the extent necessary to determine any procedural appeal questions by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code). If there is any inconsistency between this Article 26, the Commercial Arbitration Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of this Article 26 will control the rights and obligations of the Parties. Arbitration must be initiated within the time limits set forth in this Agreement, or if no such limits apply, then within a reasonable time or the time period allowed

 

34


by the applicable statute of limitations. Arbitration may be initiated by a Party (“Claimant”) serving written notice on the other Party (“Respondent”) that the Claimant elects to refer the Arbitrable Dispute to binding arbitration. Claimant’s notice initiating binding arbitration must identify the arbitrator Claimant has appointed. The Respondent shall respond to Claimant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Claimant’s notice, identifying the arbitrator Respondent has appointed. If the Respondent fails for any reason to name an arbitrator within the 30-day period, Claimant shall petition the American Arbitration Association for appointment of an arbitrator for Respondent’s account. The two arbitrators so chosen shall select a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the second arbitrator has been appointed. The Claimant will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it, and the Respondent will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it. The costs of petitioning for the appointment of an arbitrator, if any, shall be paid by Respondent. The Claimant and Respondent will each pay one-half of the compensation and expenses of the third arbitrator. All arbitrators must (i) be neutral parties who have never been officers, directors or employees of the Partnership Parties, the Company or any of their Affiliates and (ii) have not less than seven (7) years experience in the energy industry. The hearing will be conducted in Houston, Texas and commence within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third arbitrator. The Company, the Partnership Parties and the arbitrators shall proceed diligently and in good faith in order that the award may be made as promptly as possible. Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the decision of the arbitrators will be binding on and non-appealable by the Parties hereto. The arbitrators shall have no right to grant or award Special Damages.

27. Miscellaneous.

27.1 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.

27.2 This 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.

27.3 No promise, representation or inducement has been made by any of the Parties that is not embodied in this Agreement, and none of the Parties shall be bound by or liable for any alleged representation, promise or inducement not so set forth.

27.4 Time is of the essence with respect to all aspects of each Party’s performance of any obligations under this Agreement.

27.5 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.

 

35


27.6 In connection with this Agreement and all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each signatory Party hereto agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments and to perform such additional acts as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, carry out and perform all of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and all such transactions.

27.7 All audit rights, payment, confidentiality and indemnification obligations and obligations under this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

27.8 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.

28. J. Aron.

28.1 Designated Assignment. For a period from and including the Commencement Date to the Expiration Date (the “Designation Period”), the Company hereby assigns to J. Aron all of the Company’s rights to use, hold Crude Oil and Products in, and transport Crude Oil and Products through, the Storage Facilities pursuant to this Agreement, subject to additional terms and conditions of this Section 28. During the Designation Period, the Partnership Parties shall note in their records and account separately for J. Aron’s ownership of Crude Oil and Products held in or transported through the Pipelines and Storage Facilities (collectively, the “J. Aron Materials”) until such time as J. Aron shall notify the Partnership Parties in writing that ownership in such J. Aron Materials has been transferred from J. Aron to the Company, it being the intention that the Partnership Parties shall not be required to recognize any other transfers of ownership of any J. Aron Materials (other than transfers from J. Aron to the Company) unless such transfer and recognition are agreed to in writing by the Partnership Parties in their reasonable discretion. The Company shall act as J. Aron’s sole agent for all purposes of this Agreement, and the Partnership Parties shall be entitled to follow the Company’s instructions with respect to all J. Aron Materials that are transported, stored or handled by the Partnership Parties pursuant to this Agreement unless and until the Partnership Parties are notified by J. Aron in writing that the Company is no longer authorized to act as J. Aron’s agent, in which case the Partnership Parties shall thereafter follow the instructions of J. Aron (or such other agent as J. Aron may appoint) with respect to all J. Aron Materials that are transported, stored or handled by the Partnership Parties pursuant to this Agreement. All volumes shipped by J. Aron will be taken into account in the determination of whether the Company has satisfied its Minimum Throughput Commitment.

28.2 Measurements; Inventory Reports; Notices. The Company and J. Aron shall each have the measurement rights provided for in this Agreement for so long as any J. Aron Materials are located in the Pipeline or Storage Facilities. During any Designation Period, the Partnership Parties shall send all inventory and other reports described in this Agreement and notices delivered pursuant to this Agreement to J. Aron at the address provided below, with copies to the Company: J. Aron & Company, 200 West Street, New York, New York 10282-2198, Attention: Commodity Operations/Energy Logistics, ***@***.

 

36


28.3 All Provisions in Effect. During any Designation Period, all provisions of this Agreement, as amended or adjusted by this Article 28, shall be in full force and effect with respect to J. Aron and the J. Aron Materials as if J. Aron were Party hereto in place of the Company, subject however to the following:

(a) J. Aron’s sole payment obligation hereunder shall be to pay any amounts from time to time due under (i) Sections 4.2, 4.4 and 4.6 with respect to services actually rendered hereunder by the Partnership Parties with respect to the J. Aron Materials and (ii) Article 17 with respect to Liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of the activities of J. Aron under this Agreement; provided that if, at any time, J. Aron elects for any reason to make any payment to the Partnership Parties in respect of any amount owing by the Company to the Partnerships Parties hereunder, such payment shall not constitute, and shall not be deemed to result in, the assumption by J. Aron of any payment or other obligations of the Company under this Agreement;

(b) in no event shall J.
