29.1 Upon termination of this Agreement for reasons other than (a) a default by WNR pursuant to Section 32.1 or (b) any other termination of this Agreement initiated by WNR, WNR shall have the right to require WRT to enter into a new Terminalling, Transportation and Storage Services agreement with WNR that (y) is consistent with the terms and objectives set forth in this Agreement and (z) has commercial terms that are, in the aggregate, substantially similar to fair market value terms as would be agreed by similarly-situated parties negotiating at arm’s length; provided, however; that the term of any such new transportation services agreement shall not extend beyond the term in effect under the previous Agreement at the time of Termination.

29.2 In the event that WRT proposes to enter into a Terminalling, Transportation and Storage Services agreement with a third party upon the termination of this Agreement for reasons other than (a) a default by WNR pursuant to Section 32.1 or (b) any other termination of this Agreement initiated by WNR, WRT shall give WNR thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any proposed new Terminalling, Transportation and Storage Services agreement with a third party, including (x) details of all of the material terms and conditions thereof and (y) a thirty (30)-day period (beginning upon WNR’s receipt of such written notice) (the “First Offer Period”) in which WNR may make a good faith offer to enter into a new Terminalling, Transportation and Storage Services agreement with WRT (the “Right of First Refusal”). If WNR makes an offer on terms no less favorable to WRT than the third-party offer with respect to such Terminalling, Transportation and Storage Services agreement during the First Offer Period, then WRT shall be obligated to enter into a Terminalling, Transportation and Storage Services agreement with WNR on the terms set forth in the notice. If WNR does not exercise its Right of First Refusal in the manner set forth above, WRT may, for the next thirty (30) days, proceed with the negotiation of the third party Terminalling, Transportation and Storage Services agreement. If WRT and the party with which it is negotiating reach and sign a definitive agreement as to all material terms of a third party Terminalling, Transportation and Storage Services Agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”), WRT shall immediately give WNR a full copy of the Definitive Agreement including all schedules and exhibits. WNR shall have thirty (30) days from the date of such notice (the “Second Offer Period”) to enter into an agreement with WRT on the same terms and conditions contained in the Definitive Agreement.

29.3 If WRT proposes the construction or acquisition of any new Terminal or related facility that connects to any Terminal facility, any expansion or enhancement of capacity on any existing Terminal or Terminal facility or any construction of new or the expansion of existing storage capacity associated with the Terminal, then:

(a) WRT shall give prior written notice of such proposal to WNR; and

(b) WNR will have a right of first refusal to reserve some portion or all of the additional throughput capacity or storage capacity on commercial terms that are equal or more favorable to WRT than any commercial terms offered to WRT by a third party.

ARTICLE 30

FORCE MAJEURE

30.1 As soon as possible upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure event, WRT shall provide WNR with written notice of the event identifying the affected Terminals and facilities (a “Force Majeure Notice”). WRT shall also identify in such Force Majeure Notice the approximate length of time that WRT reasonably believes in good faith such Force Majeure shall continue (the “Force Majeure Period”). If WRT 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, subject to Article 32 below, at any time after WRT delivers such Force Majeure Notice, either Party may terminate that portion of this Agreement relating to the affected Terminal(s), but only upon delivery to the other Party of a notice (a “Termination Notice”) at least twelve (12) Months prior to the effectiveness of such termination; provided, however; that such Termination Notice shall be deemed cancelled and of no effect if the Force Majeure Period ends prior to the expiration of such twelve (12)-Month period.

30.2 If, during the pendency of a Force Majeure event, WRT is unable to meet the Minimum Commitments set forth in this Agreement, then affected commitments hereunder shall be proportionately reduced.

30.3 If this Agreement is terminated as to a Terminal or facility under this Article 30, then WNR’s Minimum Commitments shall be adjusted to the Adjusted Minimum Commitments, by deducting the applicable Stipulated Commitments for the Terminal so removed from this Agreement.

30.4 For the avoidance of doubt, neither Party may exercise its right under this Article 30 to terminate this Agreement as a result of a Force Majeure with respect to any Terminal that has been unaffected by, or has been restored to working order since, the applicable Force Majeure, including pursuant to a Restoration under Article 31.

ARTICLE 31

CAPABILITIES OF FACILITIES

31.1 Interruptions of Service. WRT shall use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize the interruption of service at each Terminal and any portion thereof. WRT shall promptly inform WNR operational personnel of any anticipated partial or complete interruption of service at any Terminal, including relevant information about the nature, extent, cause and expected duration of the interruption and the actions WRT is taking to resume full operations, provided that WRT shall not have any liability for any failure to notify, or delay in notifying, WNR of any such matters except to the extent WNR has been materially prejudiced or damaged by such failure or delay.

31.2 Maintenance and Repair Standards. Subject to Force Majeure and interruptions for routine repair and maintenance, consistent with customary terminal industry standards, WRT

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

 

shall maintain each Terminal in a condition and with a capacity sufficient to throughput a volume of WNR’s products at least equal to the respective Minimum Commitments for such Terminal. WRT’s obligations may be temporarily suspended during the occurrence of, and for the entire duration of, a Force Majeure or other interruption of service that prevents WRT from terminalling the Minimum Commitments hereunder. To the extent WRT is prevented from terminalling volumes equal to the full Minimum Commitments for reasons of Force Majeure or other interruption of service, then WNR’s obligation to throughput the Minimum Commitments and pay any Shortfall Payment shall be reduced proportionately. At such time as WRT is capable of terminalling volumes equal to the Minimum Commitments, WNR’s obligation to store or throughput these amounts shall be restored. If, for any reason, the throughput or storage capacity of any Terminal should fall below that required by WNR for that Terminal, then within a reasonable period of time after the commencement of such reduction, WRT shall make repairs to the Terminal to restore the Terminal to the storage or throughput capacity required by WNR (“Restoration”). Except as provided below in Section 31.3 and 31.4, all of such Restoration shall be at WRT’s cost and expense, unless the damage creating the need for such repairs was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of WNR, its employees, agents, representatives or customers.

31.3 Capacity Resolution. In the event of the failure of WRT to maintain any Terminal in a condition and with a capacity sufficient to throughput a volume of WNR’s products as required by WNR, 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 of capacity on the Terminal which will, among other things, specify steps to be taken by WRT to fully accomplish 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 terminal industry standards and shall take into consideration WRT’s economic considerations relating to costs of the repairs and WNR’s requirements concerning its refining and marketing operations. WRT shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to provide storage and throughput of WNR’s products at the affected Terminal, to the extent the Terminal has capability of doing so, during the period before Restoration is completed. In the event that WNR’s economic considerations justify incurring additional costs to restore the Terminal in a more expedited manner than the time schedule determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, WNR may require WRT to expedite the Restoration to the extent reasonably possible, subject to WNR’s payment, in advance, of the estimated incremental costs to be incurred as a result of the expedited time schedule. Upon completion, WNR shall pay the difference between the actual portion of Restoration costs to be paid by WNR pursuant to this Section 31.3 and the estimated amount paid under the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after receipt of WRT’s invoice therefor, or, if appropriate, WRT shall pay WNR the excess of the estimate paid by WNR over WRT’s actual costs as previously described within thirty (30) days after completion of the Restoration.

31.4 WNR’s Right To Cure. If at any time after the occurrence of (x) a Partnership Change of Control or (y) a sale of a Refinery, WRT either (i) refuses or fails to meet with WNR within the period set forth in Section 31.3, (ii) fails to agree to perform a Capacity Resolution in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 31.3, or (iii) fails to perform its obligations in compliance with the terms of a Capacity Resolution, WNR may, as its sole remedy for any breach by WRT of any of its obligations under Section 31.3, require WRT to complete a Restoration of the affected Terminal, subject to and to the extent permitted under the terms, conditions and/or restrictions of applicable leases, permits and/or Applicable Law. Any such Restoration required under this Section 31.4 shall be completed by WRT at WNR’s cost. WRT shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to provide storage and throughput of WNR’s products at the affected Terminal, during the period while such Restoration is being completed. Any work performed by WRT pursuant to this Section 31.4 shall be performed and completed in a good and workmanlike manner consistent with applicable industry standards and in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and/or regulations. Additionally, during such period after the occurrence of (x) a Partnership Change of Control or (y) a sale of a Refinery, WNR may exercise any remedies available to it under this Agreement (other than termination), including the right to immediately seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief for specific performance by WRT of the applicable provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation to make Restorations as described herein.

31.5 Commingled Storage. All storage and throughput of WNR’s volumes shall be on a fungible commingled basis, and WRT may commingle such volumes with products of like grade and kind. All tank heels shall be allocated among all storage users on a pro rata basis. WRT shall have the right to enter into arrangements with third parties to throughput and store volumes at each Terminal, provided however, that WRT shall not enter into any third party arrangements that would restrict or limit the ability of WNR to throughput or store the Minimum Product Throughput Commitment, Minimum Asphalt Throughput Commitment, Minimum Product Storage Commitment or Minimum Asphalt Storage Commitment at each Terminal each Month without proration or allocation, on reasonable schedules consistent with WNR’s requirements, and to receive the services provided herein.

31.6 Dedicated Storage. In the event that the Parties determine to use dedicated storage tanks during the Term of this Agreement, such storage tanks and capacities shall be dedicated and used exclusively for the storage and throughput of WNR’s product. For those dedicated tanks, WNR shall be responsible for providing all tank heels required for operation of such tanks.

ARTICLE 32

32.2 WNR shall, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, promptly remove all of its products including any downgraded and interface product from the Terminals within thirty (30) days of such termination or expiration to the extent such removal is possible within this time frame. In the event all of the product is not removed within such thirty (30) day period, WNR shall be assessed storage fees to all products held in storage more than thirty (30) days beyond the termination or expiration of this Agreement until such time WNR’s entire product is removed from the Terminals.

32.3 WNR shall, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, promptly remove any and all of its owned equipment not purchased by WRT pursuant to Article 20 above, and restore the Terminals to their condition prior to the installation of such equipment.

ARTICLE 33

ASSIGNMENT; PARTNERSHIP CHANGE OF CONTROL

33.1 WNR shall not assign any of its obligations hereunder without WRT’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however; that WNR may assign this Agreement, without WRT’s consent, (a) to an affiliate; provided such assignment shall not relieve WNR of its obligations under this Agreement and (b) in connection with a sale by WNR of a Refinery associated with one of

33.3 If either WNR or WRT assigns its rights or obligations under this Agreement relating to a specific Terminal (other than an assignment to an affiliate), then:

(a) the Minimum Commitments with respect to such Terminal shall be converted to the Adjusted Minimum Commitments, excluding such transferred Terminal; and,

(b) both WNR’s and WRT’s obligations shall continue with respect to the remaining Terminals.

33.4 Any assignment that is not undertaken in accordance with the provisions set forth above shall be null and void ab initio. A Party making any assignment shall promptly notify the other Party of such assignment, regardless of whether consent is required. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

33.5 WNR’s obligations hereunder shall not terminate in connection with a Partnership Change of Control, provided however, that in the case of a Partnership Change of Control, WNR shall have the option to extend the Term of this Agreement as provided in Article 3.
