4.1 Storage and Transportation Fee. During the Term, MPC shall pay a Monthly fee (the “Storage and Transportation Fee”), for storage and transportation services, including pumping services and services utilizing the piping associated with the Cavern equal to (a) the Current Rate multiplied by (b) the Commitment; provided, however, that the fee owed during the Month in which the Effective Date occurs shall be prorated in accordance with the ratio of (i) the number of Days in such Month during which this Agreement is effective to (ii) the total number of Days in such Month. The initial Current Rate shall be $1.25 per Barrel. On January 1, 2014 and annually thereafter, the Current Rate shall be increased (but not decreased) by the same percentage, if any, equal to any upward change in the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods, as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, during the preceding year. Each Month during the Term, MTS shall issue an invoice to MPC for amounts due for the preceding Month, and payment shall be due and payable within fifteen (15) Days from the date of invoice.

4.2 Adjustments to the Commitment. The Commitment will be decreased due to any of the following:

 

(a) With respect to any period in which MTS is required to provide any of the Cavern’s capacity to any third party in order to comply with any Applicable Law, the Commitment shall be reduced to equal the volume of capacity in the Cavern that is available for MPC’s use during such period;

 

(b) With respect to any period in which MTS is unable to provide storage services with respect to the entire Commitment due to the occurrence of a Force Majeure event, then the Commitment shall be reduced to equal the volume of capacity in the Cavern that is available for MPC’s use during the period of such Force Majeure event;

 

(c) With respect to any period in which MTS is unable to provide storage services with respect to the entire Commitment due to MTS’s repair or maintenance activities, then the Commitment shall be reduced to equal the volume of capacity in the Cavern that is available for MPC’s use during the period of any such repair or maintenance activity; and

 

(d) With respect to any period in which MTS is unable to provide storage services with respect to the entire Commitment due to structural changes in the Cavern, then MPC’s obligations shall be reduced to equal the volume of capacity in the Cavern that is available for MPC’s use following such structural changes.

4.3 Reimbursement by MPC.

 

(a) In addition to MPC’s obligation to pay the Storage and Transportation Fee pursuant to Section 4.1, MPC shall reimburse MTS in, or MTS shall be entitled to increase the Current Rate by, an amount sufficient to cover the following:

 

4


  (i) MPC’s proportionate share of the costs of complying with any new laws or regulations that affect the storage services provided to MPC under this Agreement if, after MTS has made efforts to mitigate the effect of such laws or regulations, such new laws and regulations require MTS to make additional capital expenditures.

  (ii) actual costs of any capital expenditures MTS agrees to make at MPC’s request; and

5.2 Maintenance and Repair Standards. Subject to Force Majeure and interruptions for routine repair and maintenance consistent with customary storage cavern industry standards, MTS shall maintain the Cavern in a condition and with a capacity sufficient to store the Commitment.

14. DEFAULT AND TERMINATION

14.1 Termination for Default. A Party shall be in default under this Agreement if:

 

(a) the Party materially breaches any provision of this Agreement and such breach is not cured within fifteen (15) Days after notice thereof (which notice shall describe such breach in reasonable detail) is received by such Party; or

 

(b) the Party (A) files a petition or otherwise commences, authorizes or acquiesces in the commencement of a proceeding or cause of action under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar Applicable Law, or has any such petition filed or commenced against it, (B) makes general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (C) otherwise becomes bankrupt or insolvent (however evidenced) or (D) has a liquidator, administrator, receiver, trustee, conservator or similar official appointed with respect to it or any substantial portion of its property or assets.

If a Party is in default as described above, then the other Party may: (i) terminate this Agreement upon notice to the defaulting Party; (ii) withhold any payments due to the defaulting Party under this Agreement; and/or (iii) pursue any other remedy at law or in equity.

14.2 Obligations at Termination. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, (a) MPC shall promptly take delivery of all of its Product, except the Cavern Bottoms, from the Cavern and (b) MTS shall pay MPC for the value of the Cavern Bottoms, in either case within thirty (30) Days of such termination or expiration. In the event MPC does not take delivery of all of the Product, except the Cavern Bottoms, within such thirty (30) Day period, MPC shall be assessed a Monthly holdover storage fee on all Product, except the Cavern Bottoms, held in storage more than thirty (30) Days beyond the termination or expiration of this Agreement until

 

8


such time the entire volume of MPC’s Product, except the Cavern Bottoms, is removed from the Cavern. The Monthly holdover storage fee, if any, will be calculated on the same basis as the Storage and Transportation Fee; provided, however, that the Commitment will be reduced by a volume equal to the Cavern Bottoms.

15. FORCE MAJEURE

As soon as possible upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure, MTS shall provide MPC with written notice of the occurrence of such Force Majeure (a “Force Majeure Notice”). MTS shall identify in such Force Majeure Notice the approximate length of time that MTS believes in good faith such Force Majeure shall continue (the “Force Majeure Period”). If MTS 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, then, at any time after MTS delivers such Force Majeure Notice, either Party may terminate this Agreement upon delivery of a written notice to the other Party (a “Termination Notice”) twelve (12) Months (the “Notice Period”) after receipt of such Termination Notice; provided further; that such Termination Notice shall be deemed canceled and of no effect if the Force Majeure Period ends prior to the expiration of Notice Period. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Party may exercise its right under this Section 15 to terminate this Agreement as a result of a Force Majeure event if the Cavern’s ability to store the Commitment has been unaffected by the applicable Force Majeure event.

16. ASSIGNMENT; PARTNERSHIP CHANGE IN CONTROL

16.1 Assignment. Neither Party may assign its rights under this Agreement without prior written consent from the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that either Party may assign its rights under this Agreement to a successor-in-interest resulting from any merger, reorganization, consolidation or as part of a sale of all or substantially all of such Party’s assets. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors and assigns of both Parties.

16.2 Partnership Change in Control. MPC’s obligations hereunder shall not terminate in connection with a Partnership Change of Control. MTS shall provide MPC with notice of any Partnership Change of Control at least sixty (60) Days prior to the effective date thereof.

17. INSURANCE

During the Term, MTS shall maintain, at its expense, property and liability insurance coverage or self-insurance retentions that are, in its good faith judgment, commercially reasonable and otherwise adequate for its ownership and operation of the Cavern.
