During each Contract Quarter during the Term and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, DKTS agrees that, commencing on the Effective Date, DKTS shall tender for offload and throughput an amount of Crude Oil and/or Refined Product sufficient to generate the Minimum Quarterly Throughput Payment at the Rail Offloading Facility. Allocation of capacity for Materials of different types at the Rail Offloading Facility to offload and throughput shall be in accordance with practices as of the Effective Date, or as otherwise may be agreed between the Parties from time to time.
(c)Throughput Fees at the Rail Offloading Facility.
(i)The throughput fee initially applicable to throughput of Light Crude at the Rail Offloading Facility shall be $1.500 per barrel as of the Effective Date (the “Initial Light Crude Throughput Fee”), and $1.480 per barrel effective as of August 1, 2025 (the “2025 Light Crude Throughput Fee”) and the throughput fee initially applicable to throughput of Heavy Crude at the Rail Offloading Facility as of the Effective Date shall be $3.380 (the “Initial Heavy Crude Throughput Fee”), and shall be $3.340 per barrel effective as of August 1, 2025 (the “2025 Heavy Crude Throughput Fee” and, together with the Initial Light Crude Throughput Fee, the 2025 Light Crude Throughput Fee, the Initial Heavy Crude Throughput Fee, and the 2025 Heavy Crude Throughput Fee, collectively the “Crude Throughput Fees”). The throughput fee applicable to throughput of Refined Products at the Rail Offloading Facility shall be $1.480 per barrel (the “Refined Products Throughput Fee” and, together with the Crude Throughput Fees, the “Throughput Fees”).
(ii)In accordance with Section 2(f), DKTS shall pay Logistics an amount equal to (A) the Light Crude Throughput Fee multiplied by the Actual Light Crude Throughput plus (B) the Heavy Crude Throughput Fee multiplied by the Actual Heavy Crude Throughput plus (C) the Refined Products Throughput Fee multiplied by the Actual Refined Products Throughput (the sum of such Throughput Fees for all Months in a Contract Quarter, the “Actual Quarterly Throughput Payment”); provided, however, that the Actual Quarterly Throughput Payment prior to August 1, 2025, shall be not less than $2,217,375 (prorated for any partial Contract Quarter) (the “Minimum Quarterly Throughput Payment”), which amount was calculated based on the basis of assumed throughput equal to (i) the Minimum Throughput Volume multiplied by (x) the applicable Throughput Fees and (y) 365 days, divided by four (4), and (ii) beginning August 1, 2025, the Minimum Quarterly Throughput Payment shall be $1,350,500 (prorated for any partial Contract Quarter), which amount was calculated as set forth in this Section 2(c)(ii).
(iii)The Throughput Fees shall be adjusted on July 1 of each Contract Year commencing on July 1, 2026, by an amount equal to the increase or decrease, if any, in the Inflation Index; provided, however, that the Throughput Fees shall not be decreased below the applicable Throughput Fees provided in this Section 2(c). If the PPI is no longer published, Logistics and DKTS shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon a new index that gives comparable protection against inflation and the same method of adjustment for increases or decreases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases or decreases in the Throughput Fees. If DKTS and Logistics are unable to agree upon a new index, the new index will be determined by arbitration in accordance with Section 17(l) and the same method of adjustment for increases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases in the Throughput Fees. After any adjustment to the Throughput Fees pursuant to this Section 2(c)(iii), the Minimum Quarterly Throughput Payment shall be recalculated as provided in Section 2(c)(ii) on such redetermination dates based on such adjusted Throughput Fees.
(iv)During the Term of this Agreement, if new laws or regulations are enacted that require Logistics to make substantial and unanticipated capital expenditures with respect to the Rail Offloading Facility, the Parties will renegotiate the Throughput Fees and the Minimum Throughput Volume in good faith in order to compensate Logistics on account of such incremental capital costs. If there is an increase in the Throughput Fees and/or the Minimum Throughput Volume, whether through negotiations or arbitration described below, the Minimum Quarterly Throughput Payment shall be recalculated as provided in Section 2(c)(ii) based on such adjusted figures. The Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact of, and comply with, such new laws or regulations. If DKTS and Logistics are unable to agree upon renegotiated
Throughput Fees, the renegotiated Throughput Fees and the Minimum Throughput Volume will be determined by arbitration in accordance with Section 17(l).

Logistics shall invoice DKTS monthly for Throughput Fees (or quarterly with respect to any shortfalls in the Minimum Quarterly Throughput Payment for that Contract Quarter). DKTS will make payments to Logistics on a monthly or quarterly basis, as applicable, during the Term with respect to services rendered by Logistics under this Agreement in the prior Month or Contract Quarter, as applicable, upon the later of (i) 10 days after its receipt of such invoice and (ii) 30 days following the end of the Month or Contract Quarter, as applicable, during which the invoiced services were performed. Any past due payments owed by DKTS to Logistics shall accrue interest, payable on demand, at the Prime Rate from the due date of the payment through the actual date of payment. Payment of any Throughput Fees pursuant to this Section 2 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Logistics.

(i)Within 10 Business Days following the end of the Month, a statement showing, by Material: (A) DKTS’ monthly aggregate deliveries into the Rail Offloading Facility; and (B) calculation of all DKTS’ Throughput Fees under this Agreement.
(ii)A copy of any meter calibration report, to be available for inspection upon reasonable request by DKTS following any calibration.
(m)Product Quantity Measurement. All quantities of Materials received at the Rail Offloading Facility via railcar shall be calculated based on the weight of such Materials as indicated on the applicable railcar bill of lading and the actual API gravity of such Materials in net barrels using the applicable API and ASTM or equivalent standards. Logistics shall, in its reasonable discretion, reconcile such calculation with the quantity indicated by custody transfer
meter to the extent a material discrepancy exists between such calculation and the quantity indicated by custody transfer meter. All quantities shall be adjusted to net gallons at 60° F in accordance with ASTM D-1250 Petroleum Measurement Tables, or the latest revisions thereof. If at any time that such bills of lading are not available, quantities of Materials received at the Rail Offloading Facility shall be measured by custody transfer metering in net barrels using the applicable API and ASTM or equivalent standards. DKTS shall provide Logistics with all reasonable documentation with respect to the volumes loaded or offloaded and throughput at the Rail Offloading Facility, including but not limited to, inspection reports, meter tickets or other similar documentation within three Business Days of completion of train discharge.
(n)Demurrage. Logistics will not pay demurrage, except (i) if such demurrage is the result of Logistics’ gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (ii) to the extent caused by Logistics’ contractors, subcontractors or agents, and then only up to the amounts Logistics is able to recover from its contractors, subcontractor and/or agents.
Section 3.Custody, Title and Risk of Loss.
(a)Logistics shall have no obligation to measure volume gains and losses and shall have no liability whatsoever for normal course volumetric losses that may result from the loading or offloading and throughput of the Materials at the Rail Offloading Facility, except if such volumetric losses are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Logistics. Subject to the preceding sentence, DKTS will bear any volumetric gains and losses that may result from the loading or offloading and throughput of the Materials at the Rail Offloading Facility.
(b)Except as provided in Section 3(a), title and the risk of loss or damage to the Materials shall remain at all times with DKTS, subject to any lien in favor of Logistics under Applicable Laws. Logistics will have custody of Materials from (i) the time a railcar containing Materials enters the Rail Offloading Facility and third-party locomotive crew has disembarked from, and Logistics’ or a Logistics contractor’s locomotive crew has embarked onto, the locomotive used to transfer railcars to the Rail Offloading Facility, until (ii) the offloaded Materials pass through the first pipeline flange connecting the delivery line to the Refinery or loaded Materials pass through the first pipeline flange connecting the Rail Offloading Facility to a rail car leaving the Rail Offloading Facility.
(c)To the extent railcars are damaged and require immediate and/or major repair, and cannot be safely loaded or offloaded at the Rail Offloading Facility, such railcars will be moved to the bad order track at DKTS’ sole risk and expense. Logistics will notify DKTS in writing as soon as reasonably practical that damaged railcars have been moved to the bad order track. Once on the bad order track, Logistics will use commercially reasonable efforts to offload and repair or remove such damaged railcars at DKTS’ sole risk and expense. Measurements, title, custody, Materials quality and other data associated with the bad order railcars will be coordinated between Logistics and DKTS on a case-by-case basis. If DKTS does not use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly offload and repair or remove damaged railcars on the bad order track, then 30 days after notification has been provided to DKTS, Logistics may (i) remove such railcars from the Rail Offloading Facility to an alternate site at DKTS’ sole cost and expense, and (ii) assess DKTS a fee for any railcars remaining on the bad order track. If, at any time the number of materially damaged railcars at the Rail Offloading Facility should exceed the capacity of the bad order track, Logistics shall promptly notify DKTS, and if DKTS does not immediately make suitable arrangements to have sufficient damaged railcars repaired or removed from the Rail Offloading Facility, then Logistics may remove such railcars from the Rail Offloading Facility to an alternate site at DKTS’ sole cost and expense.
(d)To the extent railcars are damaged during the loading or offloading of the Materials, DKTS shall not be responsible for any damage to such railcars caused by an act or
omission of Logistics and its Affiliates, or any of its respective employees, representatives, agents or contractors, except to the extent that such damage to or loss of property was caused by the negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of DKTS.
Section 4.Force Majeure.
(a)In the event that either 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 as promptly as practicable 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 the obligations of Logistics hereunder may be suspended for a Force Majeure event only to the extent the Force Majeure event specifically applies to the Rail Offloading Facility or the delivery pipeline from the Rail Offloading Facility to the applicable Crude Oil storage tank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if DKTS is the Force Majeure Party, (i) prior to the third anniversary of the Original Effective Date, DKTS shall be required to continue to make payments for the Throughput Fees for volumes actually loaded or offloaded under this Agreement, which shall not be less than the Minimum Quarterly Throughput Payment and (ii) from and after the third anniversary of the Original Effective Date, DKTS shall be required to continue to make payments for the Throughput Fees for volumes actually delivered under this Agreement (and shall not be required to make any Minimum Quarterly Throughput Payment). If Logistics is the Force Majeure Party, the Minimum Quarterly Throughput Payment shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 9(b). 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”). DKTS 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. Prior to the third anniversary of the Original Effective Date, any suspension of the obligations of the Parties under this Section 4(a) as a result of a Force Majeure event that adversely affects Logistics’ 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 4(b).
(b)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 12 consecutive months beyond the third anniversary of the Original Effective 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 12 months after the later to occur of (i) the delivery of the Termination Notice and (ii) the third anniversary of the Original Effective 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 if the Termination Notice relates to a Force Majeure event that affects only a portion of the Rail Offloading Facility, then if and when such Termination Notice becomes effective, the termination effected thereby shall apply only to the obligations hereunder with respect to such portion of Rail Offloading Facility and the Parties shall amend this Agreement as appropriate to reflect such partial termination. 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 the third anniversary of the Original Effective Date and following delivery of a Termination Notice, Logistics may terminate this Agreement, to the extent affected by the Force Majeure event, upon 60 days prior written notice to DKTS in order to enter into an agreement to
provide any third party the services provided to DKTS under this Agreement; provided, however, that Logistics shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement for so long as DKTS continues to make the Minimum Quarterly Throughput Payments.
Section 5.Effectiveness and Term.
(a)The initial term of this Agreement (the “Initial Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and shall extend through and including June 30, 2031. Thereafter, DKTS shall have a unilateral option to extend this Agreement for an additional period extending through and including June 30, 2036, on the same terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Renewal Term”). The Initial Term and the Renewal Term are sometimes referred to collectively herein as the “Term.” In order to exercise its option to extend this Agreement for the Renewal Term, DKTS shall notify Logistics in writing not less than 12 months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term, as applicable.
(b)The Parties may terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the Term (but are under no obligation to do so) (i) as they may mutually agree in writing, (ii) pursuant to a Termination Notice under Section 4(b) or (iii) pursuant to a Suspension Notice under Section 12(b).
(c)Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, DKTS shall be responsible for removing any remaining Materials of DKTS from the Rail Offloading Facility.
(d)DKTS shall, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, promptly remove any and all of its owned equipment, if any, and restore the Rail Offloading Facility to its condition prior to the installation of such equipment.
Section 6.Right to Enter into a New Agreement.
In the event that DKTS fails to exercise its option to extend this Agreement for the Renewal Term, Logistics shall have the right to negotiate to enter into one or more new offload and throughput agreements with respect to the Rail Offloading Facility with one or more third parties to begin after the date of termination. In such circumstances, Logistics shall give DKTS 45 days’ prior written notice of any proposed new offload and throughput agreement with a third party, including (i) the material terms and conditions thereof (including fee schedules and duration) and (ii) a 45-day period (beginning on DKTS’ receipt of such written notice) (the “First Offer Period”) in which DKTS may enter into a new offload and throughput agreement with Logistics (the “Right of First Refusal”). If DKTS makes an offer on commercial terms that are no less favorable, taken as a whole, than the proposed third-party offer with respect to such offload and throughput agreement during the First Offer Period, then Logistics shall be obligated to enter into a offload and throughput agreement with DKTS on the terms set forth in its proposed offer. If DKTS does not exercise its Right of First Refusal in the matter set forth above, Logistics may proceed with the negotiation of and entry into the third-party agreement.
Section 7.Notices.
All notices, requests, demands, and other communications hereunder will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given upon confirmation of actual delivery thereof: (a) by transmission by facsimile or hand delivery; (b) mailed via the official governmental mail system, sent first class, postage pre-paid, via certified or registered mail, with a return receipt

Section 8.Deficiency Payments.
(a)As soon as practicable following the end of each Month, Logistics shall deliver to DKTS a written notice (the “Deficiency Notice”) detailing any failure of DKTS to meet any of its payment obligations under this Agreement. The Deficiency Notice shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the nature of any payment deficiency and (ii) specify the approximate dollar amount that Logistics believes would have been paid by DKTS to Logistics if DKTS had complied with its payment obligations under this Agreement (the “Deficiency Payment”). DKTS shall pay the Deficiency Payment to Logistics 10 days after its receipt of the Deficiency Notice.
(b)If DKTS disagrees with the Deficiency Notice, then, promptly following the payment of any undisputed portion of the Deficiency Payment to Logistics, a senior officer of DKTS and a senior officer of Logistics shall meet or communicate by telephone at a mutually acceptable time and place, 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 30 days following the payment of any Deficiency Payment, DKTS and Logistics shall, within 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 Section 17(l). During the 60-day period following the receipt of the Deficiency Notice, DKTS shall have the right, in accordance with Section 17(n), to inspect and audit the working papers of Logistics relating to such Deficiency Payment.
(c)If it is determined by arbitration in accordance with Section 17(l) that DKTS was required to make any or all of the disputed portion of the Deficiency Payment, DKTS shall promptly pay to Logistics such amount, together with interest thereon from the date provided in the last sentence of Section 8(a) at the Prime Rate, in immediately available funds.
Section 9.Condition and Maintenance of Rail Offloading Facility.
(a)Interruption of Service. Logistics shall use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize the interruption of service at the Rail Offloading Facility. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Logistics agrees that it will use reasonable commercial efforts, consistent with good industry standards and practices, to complete (and to cause any third parties to complete) any non-emergency maintenance undertaken by Logistics as promptly as reasonably practicable. Logistics shall inform DKTS at least 60 days in advance (or promptly, in the case of an unplanned interruption) of any anticipated partial or complete interruption of service of the Rail Offloading Facility, including relevant information about the nature, extent, cause and expected duration of the interruption and the actions Logistics is taking to resume full operations, provided that Logistics shall not have any liability for any failure to notify, or delay in notifying, DKTS of any such matters except to the extent DKTS has been materially damaged by such failure or delay. Logistics shall provide DKTS with an initial estimate of the period of any non-emergency maintenance and shall regularly update DKTS as to the progress of such maintenance. If Logistics determines that the expected completion date for maintenance has or is likely to change by 30 days or more, it shall promptly notify DKTS of such determination.
(b)Maintenance and Repair Standards. Subject to interruptions for Force Majeure events pursuant to Section 4 and for routine repair and maintenance consistent with industry standards, Logistics shall maintain the Rail Offloading Facility with sufficient aggregate capacity to load, offload and throughput a volume of Materials at least equal to: (i) prior to August 1, 2025, the Minimum Throughput Capacity; and (ii) on and from August 1, 2025, the Minimum Refined Products Throughput Capacity (each, “Required Minimum Throughput Capacity”). Logistics shall be under no obligation hereunder to maintain the tracks, locomotives or railcars. Logistics’ obligations may be temporarily suspended during the occurrence of, and for the entire duration of, a Force Majeure event or interruptions for routine repair and maintenance consistent with industry standards that prevent Logistics from providing the Required Minimum Throughput Capacity. To the extent DKTS is prevented for 30 or more days in any Contract Year from delivering volumes for load, offload and throughput equal to the full Required Minimum Throughput Capacity for reasons of Force Majeure or other interruption of service (but not including interruptions of service due to a default by DKTS under this Agreement), in each case to the extent affecting the facilities or assets of Logistics, then the Minimum Quarterly Throughput Payment shall be calculated as follows:
This reduction to the Minimum Quarterly Throughput Payment occurs regardless of whether actual throughput prior to the reduction was below the Required Minimum Throughput Capacity. At such time as Logistics is capable of loading, offloading and throughputting volumes equal to the full Required Minimum Throughput Capacity for an entire Month, DKTS’ obligation to make the full Minimum Quarterly Throughput Payment shall be restored. If for any reason, including, without limitation, a Force Majeure event, the throughput of the Rail Offloading Facility should fall below the Required Minimum Throughput Capacity, (i) such failure, in and of itself, shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement, (ii) subject to Section 5(b), DKTS’ sole remedy will be for an adjustment to the Minimum Quarterly Throughput Payment and (iii) Logistics shall, with due diligence and dispatch, make repairs to the Rail Offloading Facility to restore the capacity of the Rail Offloading Facility to that required for throughput of the Required Minimum Throughput Capacity (“Restoration”). Except as provided below in Section 9(c), all of such Restoration shall be at Logistics’ cost and expense, unless the damage creating the need for such repairs was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of DKTS, its employees, agents or customers.
(c)Capacity Resolution. In the event of the failure of Logistics to maintain the Rail Offloading Facility with sufficient capacity to load, offload and throughput the Required Minimum Throughput Capacity, then either Party shall have the right to call a meeting between executives of both Parties by providing at least two Business Days’ advance written notice. Any such meeting shall be held at a mutually agreeable location and 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 Logistics 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 applicable industry standards and shall take into consideration Logistics’ economic considerations relating to costs of the repairs and DKTS’ requirements concerning its refining and marketing operations. Logistics shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to provide load, offload and throughput of DKTS’ Materials, to the extent the Rail Offloading Facility has the capability of doing so, during the period before Restoration is completed. In the event that DKTS’ 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, DKTS may require Logistics to expedite the Restoration to the extent reasonably possible, subject to DKTS’ 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 Restoration plan wherein DKTS agrees to fund a portion of the Restoration cost, then neither Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4(b) above so long as such Restoration is completed with due diligence and dispatch, and DKTS shall pay its portion of the Restoration cost to Logistics in advance based on a good faith estimate based on reasonable engineering standards. Upon completion, DKTS shall pay the difference between the actual portion of Restoration costs to be paid by DKTS pursuant to this Section 9(c) and the estimated amount paid under the preceding sentence within 30 days after receipt of Logistics’ invoice therefor, or, if appropriate, Logistics shall pay DKTS the excess of the estimate paid by DKTS over Logistics’ actual costs as previously described within 30 days after completion of the Restoration.
(d)Product Quality. DKTS shall not deliver to the Rail Offloading Facility any Materials which: (i) would in any way be injurious to the Rail Offloading Facility or the Refinery; (ii) may not be lawfully loaded, offloaded or throughput in such facilities; (iii) would render such facilities unfit for proper storage or handling of similar Materials; or (iv) would not meet all relevant ASTM specifications, Applicable Laws and applicable railroad requirements for the shipment thereof.
(e)Contamination. Logistics agrees that the Rail Offloading Facility used to provide services hereunder shall be in a condition generally acceptable within the industry and capable of handling the Materials without contaminating them.
(f)Subject to DKTS’ obligations under the other Transaction Agreements, Logistics shall, at its sole cost and expense, take all (or cause to be taken) 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 Rail Offloading Facility (the “Required Permits”) as presently operated. Logistics shall not do anything in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement that causes a termination or suspension of the Required Permits.
(g)For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that the Rail Offloading Facility is subject to certain restrictions in the Omnibus Agreement.
(h)Subject to the provisions of Sections 9(a), 9(b) and 9(c), Logistics will maintain and operate the Rail Offloading Facility in good working order and repair and serviceable condition in accordance with generally accepted industry standards and in compliance with all Applicable Law. Subject to the other Transaction Agreements, Logistics shall have sole responsibility for performing all load, offload and throughput services under this Agreement. Logistics shall not be responsible for any damage to railcars or track switching equipment in performing services hereunder, unless and to the extent such damages are the result of Logistics’ gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(i)Additional Documentation. Logistics agrees that it shall provide DKTS:
(i)With a true and complete copy of the policies and procedures that Logistics maintains, as from time to time in effect, with respect to the periodic inspection and cleaning of tanks and pipelines; and
(ii)On an annual basis, and at such other times as reasonably requested by DKTS, evidence in customary form of Logistics’ adherence to the policies and procedures referred to in clause (i) above.
Section 10.Load, Offload, Throughput and Handling Services
(a)Logistics agrees to keep the Rail Offloading Facility open for receipt of DKTS’ Materials at such times as the Parties agree from time to time.
(b)From time to time during the Term, Logistics shall perform such additional load, offload, throughput, handling and measuring services agreed by the Parties from time to time (collectively, “Additional Services”). If any Additional Services are requested by DKTS, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine whether such Additional Services shall be provided and the appropriate rates to be charged for such Additional Services.
(c) DKTS may, in its discretion, provide written instructions relating to specific Additional Services it is requesting or provide standing written instructions relating to ongoing Additional Services. DKTS 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 Additional Service or are instructions relating to an ongoing Additional Service or Services. Logistics shall not be required to perform any requested Additional Services that Logistics reasonably believes violate Applicable Law or will materially adversely interfere with, or be detrimental to, the operation of the Rail Offloading Facility or Refinery.
Section 11.[Reserved]
Section 12.Suspension of Refinery Operations
(a)DKTS shall inform Logistics at least 60 days in advance (or promptly, in the case of an unplanned interruption) of any anticipated partial or complete interruption of operations of the Refinery, including relevant information about the nature, extent, cause and expected duration of the interruption and the actions DKTS is taking to resume full operations, provided that DKTS shall not have any liability for any failure to notify, or delay in notifying, Logistics of any such matters except to the extent Logistics has been materially damaged by such failure or delay.
(b)From and after the second anniversary of the Original Effective Date, in the event that Lion Oil decides to permanently or indefinitely suspend refining operations at the Refinery for a period that shall continue for at least 12 consecutive months, DKTS may provide written notice to Logistics of DKTS’ 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 Original Effective Date) after DKTS has notified Logistics of such suspension and, upon the expiration of the period of 12 months (which may run concurrently with the 12-month period described in the immediately preceding sentence) following the date such notice is sent (the “Notice Period”), this Agreement shall terminate. If DKTS notifies Logistics, more than two months prior to the expiration of the Notice Period, of Lion Oil’s 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. Subject to Section 4(a) and Section 12(c), during the Notice Period, DKTS shall remain liable for Deficiency Payments. During the Notice Period, Logistics may terminate this Agreement upon 60 days’ prior written notice to DKTS in order to enter into an agreement to provide any third party the services provided to DKTS under this Agreement; provided, however, that Logistics shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement for so long as DKTS continues to make Deficiency Payments.
(c)If refining operations at the Refinery are suspended for any reason (including refinery turnaround operations and other scheduled maintenance), then DKTS 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. DKTS shall provide at least 30 days’ prior written notice of any suspension of operations at the Refinery due to a planned turnaround or scheduled maintenance, provided that DKTS shall not have any liability for any failure to notify, or delay in notifying, Logistics of any such suspension except to the extent Logistics has been materially damaged by such failure or delay.
Section 13.Regulatory Matters
(a)The Parties are entering into this Agreement in reliance upon and shall comply in all material respects with all Applicable Law which directly or indirectly affects the services provided hereunder. Each Party shall be responsible for compliance with all Applicable Law associated with such Party’s respective performance hereunder and the operation of such Party’s facilities. In the event any action or obligation imposed upon a Party under this Agreement shall at any time be in conflict with any requirement of Applicable Law, then this Agreement shall immediately be modified to conform the action or obligation so adversely affected to the requirements of the Applicable Law, and all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain effective.
(b)If during the Term, any new Applicable Law becomes effective or any existing Applicable Law or its interpretation is materially changed, which change is not addressed by another provision of this Agreement and which has a material adverse economic impact upon Logistics, Logistics, acting in good faith, shall have the option to request renegotiation of the relevant provisions of this Agreement with respect to future performance. The Parties shall then meet to negotiate in good faith amendments to this Agreement that will conform to the new Applicable Law while preserving the Parties’ economic, operational, commercial and competitive arrangements in accordance with the understandings set forth herein.
(c)If during the Term, Logistics is required, under Applicable Law, to file one or more tariffs with any Governmental Authority, in order to provide services under this Agreement, DKTS hereby agrees that, if the services to be provided under such tariff or tariffs is provided in conformance with this Agreement, including but not limited to the rates provided hereunder, DKTS will not oppose, or assist any other party in opposing, the filing of such tariff or tariffs.
Section 14.Indemnification
(a)Logistics shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless DKTS, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents, contractors, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “DKTS Indemnitees”) from and against any Liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of (i) any breach by Logistics of any covenant or agreement contained herein or made in connection herewith or any representation or warranty of Logistics made herein or in connection herewith proving to be false or misleading, (ii) any failure by Logistics, its 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 Logistics, 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, or the operation of locomotives, railcars or track switching equipment in connection herewith, 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 DKTS Indemnitees, their Affiliates or any of their respective employees,
representatives, agents or contractors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Logistics’ liability to the DKTS Indemnitees pursuant to this Section 14(a) shall be net of any insurance proceeds actually received by the DKTS 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. DKTS agrees that it shall, and shall cause the other DKTS Indemnitees to, (x) use all commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the collection of all insurance proceeds to which any of the DKTS Indemnitees are entitled with respect to or on account of any such damage or injury, (y) notify Logistics of all potential claims against any third Person for any such insurance proceeds, and (z) keep Logistics fully informed of the efforts of the DKTS Indemnitees in pursuing collection of such insurance proceeds.
(b)DKTS shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Logistics, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents, contractors, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Logistics Indemnitees”) from and against any Liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of (i) any breach by DKTS of any covenant or agreement contained herein or made in connection herewith or any representation or warranty of DKTS made herein or in connection herewith proving to be false or misleading, (ii) any failure by DKTS, its Affiliates or any of their respective employees, representatives, agents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, railroad personnel to the extent acting as agents for DKTS and its Affiliates) 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 DKTS, its Affiliates or any of their respective employees, representatives, agents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, railroad personnel to the extent acting as agents for DKTS and its Affiliates) or contractors in the exercise of any of the rights granted hereunder or the handling, storage, transportation or disposal of any Materials hereunder, or the operation of locomotives, railcars or track switching equipment in connection herewith, 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 Logistics Indemnitees, their Affiliates or any of their respective employees, representatives, agents or contractors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DKTS’ liability to the Logistics Indemnitees pursuant to this Section 14(b) shall be net of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Logistics 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. Logistics agrees that it shall, and shall cause the other Logistics Indemnitees to, (x) use all commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the collection of all insurance proceeds to which any of the Logistics Indemnitee s are entitled with respect to or on account of any such damage or injury, (y) notify DKTS of all potential claims against any third Person for any such insurance proceeds, and (z) keep DKTS fully informed of the efforts of the Logistics Indemnitees in pursuing collection of such insurance proceeds.
(c)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 14(a)(iii) AND SECTION 14(b)(iii), GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT).
(d)The Transaction Agreements contain additional indemnity provisions. The indemnities contained in this Section 14 are in addition to and not in lieu of the indemnity provisions contained in the Transaction Agreements. Any indemnification obligation of DKTS to the Logistics Indemnitees on the one hand, or Logistics to the DKTS Indemnitees on the other hand, pursuant to this Section 14 shall be reduced by an amount equal to any indemnification recovery by such indemnitees pursuant to the other Transaction Agreements to the extent that
such other indemnification recovery arises out of the same event or circumstance giving rise to the indemnification obligation of DKTS or Logistics, respectively, hereunder.
Section 15. 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; provided further that to the extent a Party hereunder receives insurance proceeds with respect to Special Damages that would be waived under this Section 15, such Party shall be liable for such Special Damages up to the amount of such insurance proceeds (net of any deductible and premiums paid with respect thereto).

(b)Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Transaction Agreements, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the Parties in connection therewith.
(c)Successors and Assigns.
(i)DKTS shall not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without Logistics’ consent; provided, however, that (1) DKTS may assign this Agreement without Logistics’ consent in connection with a sale by Lion Oil of all or substantially all of the Refinery, including by merger, equity sale, asset sale or otherwise, so long as the transferee: (A) agrees to assume all of DKTS’ obligations under this Agreement and (B) is financially and operationally capable of fulfilling the terms of this Agreement, which determination shall be made by DKTS in its reasonable judgment; and (2) DKTS shall be permitted to make a collateral assignment of this Agreement solely to secure financing for Delek US and its Affiliates.

(iv)This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
(v)The Parties’ 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, DKTS shall have the option to extend the Term of this Agreement as provided in Section 5, without regard to the notice periods provided in the fourth sentence of Section 5(a). Logistics shall provide DKTS with notice of any Partnership Change of Control at least 60 days prior to the effective date thereof.
(d)Counterparts. 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.
(e)Severability. 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.
(f)No Inducement. 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.
(g)Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to all aspects of each Party’s performance of any obligations under this Agreement.
(h)No Third Party Beneficiaries. 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.
(i)Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of Texas, excluding any conflicts-of-law rule or principle that might refer the construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the laws of another state.
(j)Further Assurances. 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.
(k)Survival. All audit rights, payment, confidentiality and indemnification obligations and obligations under this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
(l)Arbitration Provision. Any and all Disputes, other than actions seeking solely injunctive relief to prevent immediate harm, 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 Section 17(l) and the Commercial Arbitration Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of this Section 17(l) 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 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 Dispute to binding arbitration. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s notice initiating binding arbitration must identify the arbitrator ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has appointed. The Respondent shall respond to Claimant within 30 days after receipt of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’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 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 DKTS, Logistics or any of their Affiliates and (ii) have not less than seven years of experience in the energy industry. The hearing will be conducted in Houston, Texas and commence within 30 days after the selection of the third arbitrator. DKTS, Logistics 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.
(m)Confidentiality.
(i)Obligations. 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 17(m). 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.
(ii)Required Disclosure. Notwithstanding Section 17(m)(i) above, if the receiving Party becomes legally compelled to disclose the Confidential Information by a court, Governmental Authority or Applicable Law, including the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or is required to disclose pursuant to the rules and regulations of any national securities exchange upon which the receiving Party or its parent entity is listed, any of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the receiving Party shall promptly advise the disclosing Party of such requirement to disclose Confidential Information as soon as the receiving Party becomes aware that such a
requirement to disclose might become effective, in order that, where possible, the disclosing Party may seek a protective order or such other remedy as the disclosing Party may consider appropriate in the circumstances. 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.
(iii)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 backup 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 17(m), and such archived or back-up Confidential Information shall not be accessed except as required by Applicable Law.
(iv)Receiving Party Personnel. The receiving Party will limit access to the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party to those of its employees, attorneys and contractors that have a need to know such information in order for the receiving Party to exercise or perform its rights and obligations under this Agreement (the “Receiving Party Personnel”). 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 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.
(v)Survival. The obligation of confidentiality under this Section 17(m) shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of two years.
(n)Audit and Inspection. During the Term, DKTS and its duly authorized agents and/ or representatives, upon reasonable notice and during normal working hours, shall have access to the accounting records and other documents maintained by Logistics, or any of Logistics’ 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 two years after termination of this Agreement. Claims as to shortage in quantity or defects in quality shall be made by written notice within 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 years following the end of the Term. Logistics shall preserve, and shall cause all contractors or agents to preserve, all of the aforesaid documents for a period of at least two years from the end of the Term.
(o)Special Provisions Regarding Rack Unavailability. In the event that either the north rack or the south rack of the Rail Offloading Facility becomes unavailable because of a claim by a third party that, at the Effective Date, DKTS did not have a valid lease, access agreement, easement or similar agreement to permit access by the Parties to the premises upon
which such rack is located, then (regardless of whether any Logistics Indemnitee incurs any Liabilities as a result of such claim), for the duration of such unavailability, each of the Minimum Heavy Crude Throughput Capacity, the Minimum Heavy Crude Throughput Volume, the Minimum Light Crude Throughput Capacity, the Minimum Light Crude Throughput Volume, the Minimum Refined Products Throughput Capacity, the Minimum Refined Products Throughput Volume and the Minimum Quarterly Throughput Payment shall be reduced by multiplying such amount by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is 20 and the denominator of which is 38, if the Parties cannot access the south rack, or (ii) the numerator of which is 18 and the denominator of which is 38, if the Parties cannot access the north rack. This Section 17(o) shall not reduce any indemnification provided under the Purchase Agreement.
