4.4                                 Inspection of Vessel Deliveries.  For Vessel deliveries, each Party may have a representative present at the time of discharge, gauging and measurement.  If a Party declines to have a representative present, the results of the other Party’s measurements and tests shall be deemed to be correct.  [***]  Upon arrival at the discharge port, running samples shall be taken by an Independent Inspector from each of the Vessel’s cargo compartments being used to supply the Product.  From these running samples, a volumetrically correct composite sample of the Vessel’s cargo compartments that are being discharged will be made and tested by the Independent Inspector in respect of the Product discharged to the Waterborne Terminal.  In addition, each of the Vessel’s cargo compartments discharging gasolines shall be tested for Reid Vapor Pressure.  Certificates of quality and quantity countersigned by an Independent Inspector shall be final and binding on both Parties absent manifest error or fraud.  The Parties shall instruct the Independent Inspector to obtain and retain appropriate samples of the Products for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of measurement.

 

4.5                                 Off-Spec Products.

 

(a)                                  Vessel Deliveries.  TPSI may reject Products that do not conform to the applicable specifications.  TPSI may elect, at its sole discretion and at MSCG’s sole expense, to return any off-spec Products to MSCG.  TPSI shall have the option to either purchase replacement Products or have MSCG replace the off-spec Products.  MSCG shall bear all costs associated with the off-spec Products.  If TPSI purchases replacement Products, MSCG shall reimburse TPSI upon receipt of TPSI’s invoice and supporting documentation for all of TPSI’s Cover Costs.  If TPSI accepts the off-spec Products, the Parties shall agree in advance on a reduced price that reflects such Products’ market value and quality.

 

(b)                                 Pipeline Deliveries.  In the event that off-spec Products are delivered by either the Colonial Pipeline or the Plantation Pipeline, the Parties shall cooperate in making a Claim against and in seeking the appropriate remedies from the delivering pipeline.  In the event that the delivering pipeline does not make appropriate remedies, MSCG shall seek to recover from its supplier any costs associated with return and replacement of the off-spec Products.  [***]  Notwithstanding the foregoing, MSCG shall reimburse TPSI upon receipt of TPSI’s invoice and supporting documentation for all of TPSI’s Cover Costs incurred in obtaining replacement Products.  If TPSI decides to accept the off-spec Products, the Parties shall agree on an appropriate reduction in the contract price hereunder that reflects such Products’ market value and quality.

 

4.6                                 Quality and Quantity Claims.  Any Claim regarding the quality or quantity of Products delivered shall be waived unless submitted to MSCG in writing, together with supporting documentation and reasonable details of the facts on which the Claim is based, within [***] from the delivery date.  The delivery date shall be determined by the bill of lading or pipeline meter ticket, as applicable.

 

4.7                                 Disclaimer of Warranties.  OTHER THAN THE WARRANTY OF TITLE AND CONFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCTS TO THEIR SPECIFICATIONS UNDER ANY TRANSACTION, MSCG MAKES NO OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, WRITTEN OR ORAL, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT THE PRODUCTS WILL BE FIT, SUITABLE OR MERCHANTABLE

19.3                           Third Party Claims.  The Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party as soon as practicable after receiving notice of any Claim or Proceeding brought against it that might give rise to an indemnity Claim under this Agreement (each, a “Third Party Claim”) and shall furnish to the Indemnifying Party the complete details within its knowledge.  Any delay or failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice to the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations except to the extent, if any, that the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure.

from delay or otherwise), the Performing Party may do any one or more of the following: (i) withhold or suspend its Obligations under this Agreement and any Transaction without prior notice to the Defaulting Party, (ii) proceed against the Defaulting Party or its Guarantor or both for damages occasioned by the Defaulting Party’s or its Guarantor’s failure to perform, (iii) upon one (1) Business Day’s prior notice to the Defaulting Party, immediately terminate and liquidate all Transactions between the Parties by calculating Settlement Payments in the manner set forth in Section 20.3 and (iv) exercise its rights of liquidation and setoff with respect to all Other Commodity Agreements and Specified Agreements as set forth in Section 20.4.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 20.1(g), no prior notice shall be required.

 

20.3                           Early Termination of Transactions.

 

(a)                                  When an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Performing Party may, by notice given to the Defaulting Party, designate a date not earlier than the date of such notice (“Early Termination Date”) on which all Transactions shall terminate and the Performing Party shall then determine the Liquidation Amount as of the Termination Determination Date.  For purposes of this Section 20.3, the phrase “all Transactions” means only those Preliminary Forecasted Pipeline Volumes or Adjusted Forecasted Pipeline Volumes and those Preliminary Forecasted Waterborne Volumes or Adjusted Forecasted Waterborne Volumes that have been nominated to MSCG under Section 3.2, Section 3.3 and Section 6.1 prior to and including the Early Termination Date.  The Performing Party shall notify the Defaulting Party of the Liquidation Amount due from or due to the Defaulting Party, after taking into account any collateral or margin held by either Party (“Termination Payment”), to be paid as provided in Section 20.3(b).

 

(b)                                 As soon as reasonably practicable after the Early Termination Date, the Performing Party shall provide the Defaulting Party with a statement showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of the Liquidation Amount and the Termination Payment.  If the Defaulting Party owes the Termination Payment to the Performing Party, the Defaulting Party shall pay the Termination Payment on the first Business Day after it receives the statement.  If the Performing Party owes the Termination Payment to the Defaulting Party, the Performing Party shall pay the Termination Payment once it has reasonably determined all amounts owed by the Defaulting Party to it under all Transactions and Other Commodity Agreements and its rights of setoff under Section 20.4.

 

20.4                           Setoff.

 

(a)                                  The occurrence of an Early Termination Date under this Agreement or an Event of Default as described in Sections 20.1(h), (i), (j), (k), (l) and (m) shall constitute a material breach and an event of default, howsoever described, under all Other Commodity Agreements and under all Specified Agreements.  The Performing Party (or any of its Affiliates or the Guarantor in the case of a Specified Agreement) may, by giving a notice to the Defaulting Party, designate an Early Termination Date for all Other Commodity Agreements or all Specified Agreements or both and, upon such designation, terminate, liquidate and otherwise close out all Other Commodity Agreements or all Specified Agreements or both.

 

32



 

(b)                                 If the Performing Party elects to designate an Early Termination Date under this Section 20.4, the Performing Party shall calculate, in accordance with the terms set forth in such Other Commodity Agreements and Specified Agreements, the amounts, whether positive or negative, due upon early termination under each Other Commodity Agreement and Specified Agreement and shall determine the aggregate sum of such amounts, whether positive or negative (“Other Agreement Termination Amount”).  If a particular Other Commodity Agreement or Specified Agreement does not provide a method for determining what is owed upon early termination, then the amount due upon early termination shall be determined pursuant to Section 20.3 as if such Other Commodity Agreement or Specified Agreement were a Transaction.

 

(c)                                  If the Other Agreement Termination Amount is a negative number, and the Performing Party owes a Termination Payment to the Defaulting Party, the Performing Party shall pay the Defaulting Party the Other Commodity Termination Amount at the time of its payment of the Termination Payment under Section 20.3(b).  If the Other Agreement Termination Amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party shall pay the Performing Party such Other Agreement Termination Amount on demand, provided, however, that the Performing Party, at its election, may setoff any Termination Payment owed by the Defaulting Party to the Performing Party pursuant to Section 20.3 against any Other Agreement Termination Amount owed by the Performing Party to the Defaulting Party and may setoff any Other Agreement Termination Amount owed to the Performing Party by the Defaulting Party against any Termination Payment owed by the Performing Party to the Defaulting Party pursuant to Section 20.3.  The Performing Party shall notify the Defaulting Party of any setoff effected under this Section 20.4.

 

20.5                           Non-Exclusive Remedy.  The Performing Party may enforce any of its remedies under this Agreement, any Other Commodity Agreement or any Specified Agreement.  The Performing Party’s rights under this Article 20 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or exclusion of, any other rights of setoff, recoupment, combination of accounts, lien or other right which it may have, whether by agreement, operation of law or otherwise, provided, however, that (i) if the Performing Party elects to exercise its rights under Section 20.3, it shall do so with respect to all Transactions, and (ii) if the Performing Party elects to exercise its rights under Section 20.4 in respect of Other Commodity Agreements or in respect of Specified Agreements or both, it shall do so with respect to all Other Commodity Agreements or all Specified Agreements or both.  No delay or failure on the part of a Performing Party to exercise any right or remedy shall constitute an abandonment of such right or remedy and the Performing Party shall be entitled to exercise such right or remedy at any time after an Event of Default has occurred.

 

20.6                           Indemnification.  The Defaulting Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Performing Party for all Liabilities incurred as a result of the Default or in the exercise of any remedies under this Article 20.  A Party shall reimburse the other Party for its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the other Party’s enforcement of, suing for or collecting any amounts payable by it under this Agreement.

23.2                           Assignment Absent Consent.  Any attempted assignment in violation of this Article 23 shall be null and void ab initio and the non-assigning Party shall have the right, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies it may have hereunder or otherwise, to terminate this Agreement effective immediately upon notice to the Party attempting such assignment.

 

ARTICLE 24

ISPS

 

24.1                           MSCG shall ensure that the Vessel complies with the ISPS Code and the MTSA.

 

24.2                           The Vessel shall when required submit a Declaration of Security to the appropriate authorities prior to arrival at the discharge port.

 

24.3                           Notwithstanding any prior acceptance of the Vessel by TPSI, if at any time prior to the arrival of the Vessel at the Waterborne Terminal or discharge port the Vessel ceases to comply with the requirements of the ISPS Code or the MTSA:

 

(a)                                  TPSI shall have the right not to berth such nominated Vessel at the discharge port and any demurrage resulting shall not be for the account of TPSI.

 

(b)                                 MSCG shall be obliged to substitute such nominated Vessel with a Vessel complying with the requirements of the ISPS Code and the MTSA.  If title and risk to the cargo on board the Vessel subsequently substituted has already passed to TPSI, such title and risk shall be deemed to have reverted to MSCG.

 

24.4                           TPSI shall ensure that the discharge port and Waterborne Terminal comply with the ISPS Code and the MTSA.  Any costs or expenses in respect of the Vessel, including demurrage or any additional charge, fee or duty levied on the Vessel at the discharge port and actually incurred by MSCG resulting directly from the failure of the discharge port or Waterborne Terminal to comply with the ISPS Code and the MTSA, shall be for the account of TPSI.

 

24.5                           TPSI’s liability to MSCG under this Agreement for any costs, losses or expenses incurred by the Vessel, the charterers or the Vessel owners resulting from the failure of the

 

35



 

discharge port or Waterborne Terminal to comply with the ISPS Code or the MTSA shall be limited to the payment of demurrage and costs actually incurred by MSCG in accordance with the provisions of this Article 24.

 

ARTICLE 25

NEW OR CHANGED APPLICABLE LAWS

 

25.1                           New or Changed Laws.  If at any time after the Effective Date new Applicable Laws are enacted or existing Applicable Laws are amended, which individually or collectively have a material adverse economic effect upon the assumptions of either Party underlying its initial economic analysis of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement such that such assumptions no longer are true, then the affected Party may notify the other Party that it desires in good faith to renegotiate the price or other material terms or conditions so affected, stating the new or changed Applicable Law upon which its renegotiation request is based and the terms upon which it is willing to continue to perform with respect to deliveries of Products not yet made.

 

25.2                           Change in Product Specifications.  The Parties shall negotiate in good faith any price adjustments that may be warranted to account for any incremental costs involved in complying with a Governmental Authority’s change in required Product specifications subsequent to the date of a nomination and prior to the scheduled date of delivery.

 

ARTICLE 26

NOTICES

 

Any notice, demand or document that either Party is required or may desire to give under this Agreement must be (i) in writing and, (ii) except to the extent specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement, given by personal delivery, overnight courier, facsimile or United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, with the postage prepaid and properly addressed or communicated to such Party at its address or facsimile number shown below, or at such other address as either Party may have furnished to the other by notice given in accordance with this Article 26.  Any notice delivered or made by personal delivery, overnight courier, facsimile, or United States mail shall be deemed to be given on the date of actual delivery as shown by the receipt for personal delivery or overnight courier delivery, the addresser’s machine confirmation for facsimile delivery, or the registry or certification receipt for registered or certified mail.

ARTICLE 27

CONFIDENTIALITY

 

27.1                           Confidential Information.  Each Party shall maintain in complete confidence and will not disclose to anyone Confidential Information except (i) as may be required by court order, Applicable Law or a Governmental Authority (including, if required, to comply with the disclosure requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or any self-regulatory organization), (ii) to such Party’s or its Affiliates’ employees, auditors, consultants, banks, financial advisors and legal advisors, or (iii) as provided in Section 27.3.  The confidentiality obligations under this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years following termination.

 

27.2                           Disclosure.  In the case of disclosure covered by clause (i) of Section 27.1 (other than disclosures required by the organizations described in the parenthetical) and if the disclosing Party’s counsel advises that it is permissible to do so, the disclosing Party shall notify the other Party in writing of any Proceeding of which it is aware which may result in disclosure, and use reasonable efforts to prevent or limit such disclosure.  The Parties shall be entitled to all remedies available at law, or in equity, to enforce or seek relief in connection with the confidentiality obligations contained herein.

 

27.3                           Tax Disclosure.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties (and their respective employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind from the commencement of discussions, the U.S. federal income and state tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Parties relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, except where confidentiality is reasonably necessary to comply with securities laws.  For this purpose, “tax structure” is limited to facts relevant to the U.S. federal income and state tax treatment of the transaction and does not include information relating to the identity of the Parties, their Affiliates, agents or advisors.

28.1                           Entire Agreement.  This Agreement together with the Related Agreements constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between the Parties and supersedes all prior oral or written and all contemporaneous oral agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.  Neither this Agreement, nor any Related Agreement may be altered, amended, modified or otherwise changed in any respect or particular whatsoever except in writing duly executed by the authorized representative of each Party.

28.6                           No Waiver.  Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any Party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege.  No single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, remedy, power or privilege or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. No waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence will be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any subsequent or other occurrence.
