(c)     From and after the date on which a Cavern is placed into commercial service, P66SF may substitute each Cavern with a similar suitable Cavern for Customer’s dedicated use at P66SF’s convenience or if such Cavern is taken out of service for any reason (including, but not limited to emergencies or scheduled or unscheduled maintenance), provided that: (i) Customer shall bear no additional costs for any substitution, except to the extent the maximum capacity of the substitute Cavern is greater than the original Cavern; and (ii) the substituted Cavern has similar receipt, storage, and redelivery facility access capabilities. Except in the event of an emergency or due to unscheduled maintenance, P66SF shall provide Customer with fifteen days’ prior written notice of any substitution. Any substitute Cavern while in use hereunder shall be considered the original Cavern for purposes of this Agreement, and all terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to such Cavern. If the original Cavern is unavailable after being placed into commercial service and no substitute Cavern has been provided for Customer’s use, P66SF shall adjust the fees described herein so that such fees will be calculated based on actual Cavern availability. Furthermore, any operational activities undertaken that are not being performed at the Customer’s request, which would otherwise result in an increase in the calculation of fees, may be excluded from the monthly fee calculations.
(d)     Beginning in 2018, a Cavern will be taken out of service to establish an annual sequence of inspections to comply with applicable regulatory requirements. P66SF will provide Customer with annual updates of Cavern availability.
(e)     At the end of the Term, Customer will bear the cost of returning each Cavern and related Cavern-manifold pipelines to the same condition as on commencement of service to Customer in respect of such Cavern, subject to reasonable wear and tear.
(f)    The parties acknowledge that prudent operation of the Caverns includes necessary repairs and maintenance consistent with generally accepted industry standards, which will result in temporary unavailability of the Caverns during which P66SF will be unable to provide the storage contracted for herein. So long as P66SF endeavors to work with Customer to minimize the duration, frequency, and effect of such unavailability on Customer and the duration, frequency, and effect of such unavailability on Customer are consistent with generally accepted

TERMS IN THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN REDACTED BECAUSE CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT FOR THOSE TERMS HAS BEEN REQUESTED. THE REDACTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELYWITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, AND THE TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED AT THE APPROPRIATE PLACE WITH TWO ASTERISKS (**).


industry standards, P66SF shall not be deemed to breach this Agreement in respect thereof and shall not be liable to Customer for any failure to perform its obligations set forth herein.
4.
Product; Deliveries and Redeliveries.
(a)     Customer shall make nominations to P66SF no later than the 15th day of the month before delivery or redelivery of quantities of Product that Customer desires to tender for delivery at the Delivery Point or for redelivery at the Redelivery Point. Custody and control of Product (i) delivered hereunder shall be deemed to be transferred to P66SF at the Delivery Point as the Product in question passes the Facilities’ boundary on discharge into the Facilities; and (ii) redelivered hereunder shall be deemed to be transferred to Customer at the Redelivery Point as the Product in question passes the Facilities’ boundary on exit from the Facilities.
(b)     P66SF will not recognize sales or assignments of, or other transfers of title to, Product while in storage unless approved in advance in writing by P66SF (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) and then only to another person or entity that has a valid storage agreement with P66SF for storage of such Product at the Facilities.
(c)    Customer has the right to request delivery and storage of crude oil or other commodities and P66SF’s consent to such requests shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that the delivery and storage of the requested crude oil or commodity must be within the authorization granted in the H-4 permit issued on July 9, 2014 by the Railroad Commission of Texas (as may be amended or supplemented) and permitted under all other applicable law, regulation, or administrative requirement. In the event Customer seeks storage of a crude oil or any other commodity, Customer must submit written Notice to P66SF with the details regarding the proposed change in commodity. P66SF shall act in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to work diligently to modify the Facilities as necessary, in its sole opinion, to accommodate the change in commodity. All costs and expenses for such modifications, if any, shall be at the sole cost and expenses of the Customer. Any other approvals or authorizations required for such conversion shall be the sole responsibility of Customer.
5.
Allocation.
P66SF shall maintain brine levels sufficient to permit the requested injections and withdrawals of Product; provided, however, that P66SF shall not be obligated to maintain brine levels at a level in excess of the maximum brine system storage capacity of the Facilities of approximately ** million Barrels and the maximum designed brine flow rate of approximately ** Barrels per hour (or ** Barrels per day). Without limiting the foregoing, P66SF’s redelivery of Product to Customer will be subject to operating conditions, rates of delivery, delivery pressures, scheduling and other requirements of the Facilities and the applicable Pipeline to which Product is to be redelivered.

6.
Product Measurement.
Except as described below, measurements, volume corrections, and calibrations shall be performed in accordance with API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (“API MPMS”) latest revision. Volumes shall be based on 42 Gallons per Barrel at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Measured Product volumes shall be adjusted to a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit and a pressure of one standard atmosphere (14.7 PSIA) per the most recent Gas Processors Association TP-27/API MPMS, Chapter 11 (e.g., Table 24E, 54E, or other table relevant to the applicable Product). Cavern pump-out fees and Cavern pump-over fees will be based on measurement from meters at the Cavern well-head.  The Customer acknowledges that these meters do not meet API measurement standards.
7.
Sampling; Commingling.
(a)     P66SF shall have the right to sample all Products nominated by Customer for delivery and may refuse to take delivery of any Product if such Product does not meet the specifications set forth on Exhibit A. If P66SF takes delivery of any Product and within a commercially reasonable period of time determines that such Product does not meet the specifications set forth on Exhibit A, P66SF shall promptly provide notice to Customer. In such event, Customer shall take redelivery of such non-conforming Product and shall indemnify P66SF for any damage or loss to the Facilities caused by such non-conforming Product. If a sample indicates presence of Product that does not meet specifications, Customer shall be promptly informed. The quality of the Product delivered to P66SF will be verified by pipeline batch specifications, a refinery analysis, supplier’s certificate or, at Customer’s request, an independent laboratory’s analysis. P66SF will be responsible for the appointment and cost of its own sampling, testing, and/or other laboratory services with respect to sampling the Product. Customer will be responsible for any costs associated with an independent laboratory analysis requested by it. For any service or function requested by Customer not specifically provided for in this Agreement, P66SF may provide such service at its actual cost, or may retain a third party to provide such service, as agreed in advance by the parties in writing.
(b)     P66SF will make reasonable efforts to minimize any commingling of dissimilar Products transferred within the Caverns’ storage system. Customer acknowledges, accepts, and waives its right to claim damages for contamination of Customer’s Products due to commingling, line displacements and/or use of common lines.
8.
Title
It is understood and agreed that (i) Customer shall retain title to the Products stored hereunder, subject to such Products being commingled with like Products belonging to P66SF or other parties, and (ii) Products redelivered to Customer by P66SF may not be identical to Products

delivered by Customer into P66SF’s Facilities, but shall be considered as fungible goods. However, with P66SF’s prior written consent, Customer may allow a third party to store Products in the Caverns by contract or otherwise. In such event, Customer will continue to be liable for all obligations and requirements set forth in this Agreement with respect to such third party Product as if such Product were owned by Customer (including payment of fees with respect thereto), Customer will continue to be liable for its own acts and omissions under this Agreement, and the third party shall warrant in a writing acceptable to P66SF that it has title to all Product received, stored and handled on its behalf by P66SF pursuant to this Agreement.
9.
Storage Fees.
For the services described herein, the following fees shall apply:
(a)Monthly Storage Fee:

i)
P66SF will invoice Customer at the applicable rate provided in the Storage Commitment Table below for each Barrel of Product stored in the Caverns as measured at the end of the last day of the applicable month.
ii)
If Customer, during any month, stored less Product than the applicable minimum storage volume specified in the Storage Commitment Table below, then Customer will pay P66SF a deficiency payment equal to the applicable monthly storage rate per Barrel for the difference between the actual volume stored during such month and the applicable minimum storage volume.
iii)
For all volume stored in excess of the applicable minimum storage volume, Customer will pay P66SF a fee equal to $** per Barrel with respect to such excess volume. For the sake of clarity, this fee is in lieu of clause (i) above with respect to any excess volume stored by Customer under this Agreement.

(c) Cavern Pump-out Fee (Cavern to Pipeline at the Redelivery Point): $** per Barrel

(d) Cavern Receipt Fee (Pipeline to Cavern at the Delivery Point): **

Each of the above-referenced rates shall be increased, but never decreased, annually on the anniversary date of the Effective Date by an amount equal to 25% of the annual change in the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (the “CPI-U”), as reported during the month of January immediately before the effective date of the adjustment, with respect to the 12-month period ending at the end of the month of December immediately preceding such publication.

If applicable, P66SF will provide notice by the 15th day of each month to Customer that the aggregate working capacity of the Caverns has increased or decreased from one tier to another in the Storage Commitment Table above. Any adjustment in Customer’s monthly storage fee and minimum storage volume based on such increase or decrease in the aggregate working capacity will be effective as of the first day of the following month following such notice.

(e) In the fourth quarter of each Year, P66SF shall determine, in good faith, an estimate of the total annual property taxes owed on the improvements owned by P66SF and located on the real property at the Clemens Salt Dome Lease, Clemens, NE (Frio B) Field (the “Improvements”), which include, but are not limited to, the Facilities, for the next Year and then use the estimate to calculate a per-Barrel fee (“Service Fee”) to be assessed on the Customer’s applicable Minimum Storage Volume each month, regardless of whether the Customer stores Product in an amount equal to the Customer’s Minimum Storage Volume. The Service Fee will be calculated by dividing the estimate by the Minimum Storage Volume, i.e., ** million Barrels * **. P66SF will provide Notice to Customer of the Service Fee to be assessed in the upcoming year in accordance with the notice provisions in Section 18 below. As between the parties, P66SF shall pay all property taxes on the Improvements that become due after the Effective Date. The Service Fee for the remaining portion of Year 2016 shall be calculated in accordance with the Service Fee Table below. The Service Fee shall be included on the monthly invoice described in Article XI below.

(f)    Change in Law. If new Laws require P66SF to make substantial and unanticipated expenditures in connection with the services P66SF provides to Customer under this Agreement, P66SF shall use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to secure a waiver, exception or extension for the time of compliance with the new Law in an effort to secure continued operation under existing applicable Laws during the term of this Agreement. If P66SF is unable to secure a waiver, exception or extension for continued operation using commercially reasonable efforts, then P66SF will find a commercially reasonable manner to conform to the new Laws and give Customer commercially reasonable advance notice of any planned expenditures necessary for such compliance. Customer will reimburse P66SF for Customer's proportionate share of the costs of complying with such Laws, or at P66SF’s option, and if the Parties agree, relevant fees will be increased or an alternate mechanism shall be adopted to allow P66SF to recover the amount paid for such costs over time from Customer or another entity. The Customer’s “proportionate share” of the costs of complying with such Laws referenced in the immediately preceding sentence shall be 100% if Customer is P66SF’s sole customer.

10.
Taxes.
Customer shall pay all taxes, if any, levied or assessed on the Product stored or on the services rendered or storage capacity contracted hereunder. In the event it becomes necessary for P66SF to pay any such tax, Customer shall promptly reimburse P66SF for such amount upon receipt of invoice therefor.
11.
Payment Terms.
The fees payable by Customer under this Agreement shall be paid by automated clearing house to the account specified on P66SF’s invoice or to such other account as P66SF may hereafter designate in writing, provided that as long as P66SF is an affiliate of Customer, P66SF and Customer may settle Customer’s financial obligations to P66SF through Customer’s normal inter-affiliate settlement processes. Payment shall be made by the later of two (2) Business Days from the receipt date of P66SF’s invoice and the 22nd day of the month in which such invoice is received, provided that if such day is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be due, without interest, on the next Business Day. Any amounts which remain due and owing after the due date shall bear interest thereon at a per annum rate of interest equal to 1.5% per month or the maximum lawful rate of interest, whichever is lower (the “Base Rate”). If a good faith dispute arises as to the amount payable in any invoice, the amount not in dispute shall promptly be paid. If Customer elects to withhold any payment otherwise due as a consequence of a good faith dispute, Customer shall provide P66SF with written notice of its specific reasons for withholding payment. The parties hereto agree to use all reasonable efforts to resolve any such disputes in a timely manner. If it is subsequently determined, whether by mutual agreement of the parties or otherwise, that Customer is required to pay all or any portion of the disputed amounts to P66SF, in addition to paying over such amounts, Customer also shall pay interest accrued on such amounts at the Base Rate from the original due date until paid in full.

12.
Warehouseman’s Lien.
P66SF shall have a statutory warehouseman’s lien on all Product of Customer stored hereunder to cover any accrued and unpaid amounts payable hereunder and may withhold redelivery of any such Product until such accrued and unpaid amounts are paid. If any undisputed amounts remain unpaid for more than thirty (30) days after notice of failure to pay, P66SF may sell said Product at a public auction at the offices of P66SF on any Business Day not less than forty-eight (48) hours after publication of notice in a daily newspaper of general circulation published near the Facility with copy of such notice sent to Customer, said notice giving the time and place of the sale and the quantity and Product to be sold. P66SF may be a bidder and a purchaser at such sale. From the proceeds of such sale, P66SF may pay itself all charges lawfully accruing and all expenses of such sale (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs), and the net balance may be held for whomsoever may be lawfully entitled thereto.
13.
Product Loss/Risk of Loss.
Customer shall bear any losses or gains that may occur while Customer’s Products are in storage at the Facility (such losses or gains, the “Storage Variations”), except to the extent that Storage Variations result from P66SF’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of P66SF’s employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors. P66SF’s maximum liability, if any, for loss or damages to the Products will be limited to the monthly average Non-TET price on the Texas Gulf Coast for such Product on the date of such loss or damage as reported or published by OPIS, multiplied by the volume of the Product lost or damaged. Periodically, P66SF shall determine the physical inventory of Products and calculate the Storage Variation.  Customer’s inventory of Products in storage at the Facilities shall then be adjusted (increased or decreased) to reflect the Storage Variation.
14.
Force Majeure.
(a)     As soon as possible upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure, if any party hereto is affected by a Force Majeure event, such party shall provide the other party with written notice of the occurrence of such Force Majeure event. Each party’s obligations (other than a party’s obligation to indemnify the other party or a party’s obligation to pay any amounts due to the other party which have accrued prior to the commencement of such Force Majeure event) shall be temporarily suspended during the occurrence of, and for the entire duration of, a Force Majeure event to the extent that such an event prevents P66SF from performing its obligations under this Agreement. Each party’s obligations (other than a party’s obligation to indemnify the other party or a party’s obligation to pay any amounts due to the other party which have accrued prior to the commencement of such Force Majeure event) shall be temporarily suspended beginning 20 days after the commencement of, and for the entire remaining duration of, a Force

Majeure event to the extent that such event prevents Customer from performing its obligations under this Agreement. For clarity, fees shall not accrue while each party’s obligations are suspended. At the conclusion of the Force Majeure event, the fees applicable to the month in which the suspension due to the Force Majeure event remained in effect shall be ratably reduced to reflect such suspension.
(b)     A party affected by a Force Majeure event shall take commercially reasonable steps to remedy such situation so that it may resume the full performance of its obligations under this Agreement within a reasonable period of time.
(c)     The settlement of strikes, lockouts and other labor disturbances shall be entirely within the discretion of the affected party and the requirement to remedy a Force Majeure event within a reasonable period of time shall not require the settlement of strikes or lockouts by acceding to the demands of an opposing person or entity when such course is inadvisable in the discretion of the affected party.
(d)     P66SF may suspend performance of the services to the extent reasonably necessary to prevent injuries to persons, damage to property or harm to the environment.
(e)     If a Force Majeure event prevents either P66SF or Customer from performing its respective obligations under this Agreement for a period of more than 12 consecutive months, this Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time after the expiration of such 12-month period upon at least 30 days’ notice to the other party.
15.
Indemnity.
(a)     EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 7, CUSTOMER SHALL DEFEND, RELEASE, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD P66SF AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS AND EMPLOYEES HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CAUSES OF ACTION, SUITS, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, COSTS AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, COURT COSTS AND ATTORNEY’S FEES, (“CLAIMS”) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED IN ANY WAY TO INJURY TO OR DEATH OF CUSTOMER’S EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS OR INVITEES ARISING OUT OF OR OCCURRING IN CONNECTION WITH PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF THE TIMING OR NATURE OR STYLE OF SUCH CLAIMS AND REGARDLESS OF THE IDENTITY OF THE CLAIMANT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE EMPLOYEE OR INVITEE THEMSELVES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS, HEIRS, BENEFICIARIES, ASSIGNS, AND FAMILY MEMBERS.
