ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION
8.1    Indemnification of P66 Company and Other Parties. Solely for the purpose of indemnification in this Section 8.1, the representations and warranties of the Partnership in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been made without regard to any materiality or Partnership Material Adverse Effect qualifiers. From and after the Closing Date, subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the Partnership shall indemnify and hold P66 Company and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (together with P66 Company, the “P66 Company Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all damages (including exemplary damages and penalties), losses, deficiencies, costs, expenses, obligations, fines, expenditures, claims and liabilities, including reasonable counsel fees and reasonable expenses of investigation, defending and prosecuting litigation (collectively, the “Damages”), suffered by the P66 Company Indemnitees as a result of, caused by, arising out of, or in any way relating to (a) any breach of a representation or warranty of the Partnership in this Agreement, (b) any breach of any agreement or covenant under this Agreement on the part of the Partnership or (c) any of the Assumed Liabilities.
8.2    Indemnification of the Partnership and other Parties. Solely for the purpose of indemnification in this Section 8.2, the representations and warranties of P66 Company and Pipeline in this Agreement (other than the representation and warranty contained in Section 3.16(a)) shall be deemed to have been made without regard to any materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifiers. From and after the Closing Date, subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, P66 Company shall indemnify and hold the Group Members and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (together with the Partnership, the “Partnership Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all Damages suffered by the Partnership Indemnitees as a result of, caused by, arising out of, or in any way relating to (a) any breach of a representation or warranty of P66 Company or Pipeline in this Agreement, (b) any breach of any agreement or covenant in this Agreement on the part of P66 Company, (c) any of the Excluded Liabilities or (d) any real property

-27-




transfer Taxes imposed by the States of New Jersey and Washington, or any taxing authority therein, on the real property contributions described in Article II.
8.3    Demands. Each indemnified party agrees that promptly upon its discovery of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnity under the provisions of this Agreement, including receipt by it of notice of any demand, assertion, claim, action or proceeding, judicial or otherwise, by any third party (such third party actions being collectively referred to herein as the “Indemnity Claim”), with respect to any matter as to which it claims to be entitled to indemnity under the provisions of this Agreement, it will give prompt notice thereof in writing to the indemnifying party, together with a statement of such information respecting any of the foregoing as it shall have. Such notice shall include a formal demand for indemnification under this Agreement. The indemnifying party shall not be obligated to indemnify the indemnified party with respect to any Indemnity Claim if the indemnified party knowingly failed to notify the indemnifying party thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement to the extent that knowing failure to notify actually results in material prejudice or damage to the indemnifying party.
8.4    Right to Contest and Defend.
(a)    The indemnifying party shall be entitled at its cost and expense to contest and defend by all appropriate legal proceedings any Indemnity Claim with respect to which it is called upon to indemnify the indemnified party under the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that notice of the intention to so contest shall be delivered by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party within 20 days from the date of receipt by the indemnifying party of notice by the indemnified party of the assertion of the Indemnity Claim. Any such contest may be conducted in the name and on behalf of the indemnifying party or the indemnified party as may be appropriate. Such contest shall be conducted and prosecuted diligently to a final conclusion or settled in accordance with this Section 8.4 by reputable counsel employed by the indemnifying party and not reasonably objected to by the indemnified party, but the indemnified party shall have the right but not the obligation to participate in such proceedings and to be represented by counsel of its own choosing at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall have full authority to determine all action to be taken with respect thereto; provided, however, that the indemnifying party will not have the authority to subject the indemnified party to any obligation whatsoever, other than the performance of purely ministerial tasks or obligations not involving material expense. If the indemnifying party does not elect to contest any such Indemnity Claim or elects to contest such Indemnity Claim but fails diligently and promptly to prosecute or settle such claim, the indemnifying party shall be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party shall have assumed the defense of an Indemnity Claim, the indemnified party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of an Indemnity Claim that the indemnifying party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the indemnifying party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection

-28-




with such Indemnity Claim, which releases the indemnified party completely in connection with such Indemnity Claim and which would not otherwise adversely affect the indemnified party.
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Indemnity Claim (and shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the indemnified party in defending such Indemnity Claim) if the Indemnity Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the indemnified party which the indemnified party reasonably determines, after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages. If such equitable relief or other relief portion of the Indemnity Claim can be so separated from that for money damages, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to money damages.
8.5    Cooperation. If requested by the indemnifying party, the indemnified party agrees to cooperate with the indemnifying party and its counsel in contesting any Indemnity Claim that the indemnifying party elects to contest or, if appropriate, in making any counterclaim against the person asserting the Indemnity Claim, or any cross-complaint against any person, and the indemnifying party will reimburse the indemnified party for any expenses incurred by it in so cooperating. At no cost or expense to the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall cooperate with the indemnified party and its counsel in contesting any Indemnity Claim.
8.6    Right to Participate. The indemnified party agrees to afford the indemnifying party and its counsel the opportunity to be present at, and to participate in, conferences with all persons, including Governmental Authorities, asserting any Indemnity Claim against the indemnified party or conferences with representatives of or counsel for such persons.
8.7    Payment of Damages. The indemnification required hereunder shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, within 10 days as and when reasonably specific bills are received or loss, liability, claim, damage or expense is incurred and reasonable evidence thereof is delivered. In calculating any amount to be paid by an indemnifying party by reason of the provisions of this Agreement, the amount shall be reduced by all reimbursements (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds) credited to or received by the other party related to the Damages.
8.8    Limitations on Indemnification.
(a)    To the extent the Partnership Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification for Damages pursuant to Section 8.2(a) (but not including Damages for breaches of Fundamental Representations), P66 Company shall not be liable for those Damages unless the aggregate amount of Damages exceeds $3.4 million (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent of any such excess; provided, however, that P66 Company shall not be liable for Damages pursuant to Section 8.2(a)

-29-




(but not including Damages for breaches of Fundamental Representations) that exceed, in the aggregate, $34.0 million (the “Cap”) less the Deductible.
(b)    Notwithstanding clause (a) above, to the extent the Partnership Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification for Damages for claims arising from fraud or related to or arising from Taxes (including, without limitation, Damages for breach of the representations or warranties in Section 3.13), P66 Company shall be fully liable for such Damages without regard to the Deductible or the Cap. For the avoidance of doubt, P66 Company shall be fully liable for Damages pursuant to Sections 8.2(b), 8.2(c) or 8.2(d) and for breaches of Fundamental Representations without regard to the Deductible or the Cap.
(c)    To the extent the P66 Company Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification for Damages pursuant to Section 8.1(a), the Partnership shall not be liable for those Damages unless the aggregate amount of Damages exceeds, in the aggregate, the Deductible, and then only to the extent of any such excess; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be liable for Damages that exceed, in the aggregate, the Cap less the Deductible.
(d)    Notwithstanding clause (c) above, to the extent the P66 Company Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification for Damages arising from fraud, the Partnership shall be fully liable for such Damages without regard to the Deductible or the Cap. For the avoidance of doubt, the Partnership shall be fully liable for Damages pursuant to Sections 8.1(b) or 8.1(c) without regard to the Deductible or the Cap.
8.9    Survival.
(a)    The liability of P66 Company for the breach of any of the representations and warranties of P66 Company set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.8(a) and 3.8(b) (the “Fundamental Representations”) shall be limited to claims for which the Partnership delivers written notice to P66 Company on or before the date that is three years after the Closing Date. The liability of P66 Company for the breach of any of the representations and warranties of P66 Company set forth in Article III other than the Fundamental Representations shall be limited to claims for which the Partnership delivers written notice to P66 Company on or before the date that is eighteen months after the Closing Date. The liability of P66 Company for Damages for claims related to or arising from Taxes (including, without limitation, Damages for claims pursuant to Section 8.2(d) or Damages for claims for breach of the representations or warranties in Section 3.13) shall be limited to claims for which the Partnership delivers written notice to P66 Company on or before the date that is ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for assessment of the applicable Tax.
(b)    The liability of the Partnership for the breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Partnership set forth in Article IV shall be limited to claims for which P66 Company delivers written notice to the Partnership on or before the date that is eighteen months after the Closing Date.

-30-




8.10    Sole Remedy. After the Closing, no Party shall have liability under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby except as is provided in this Article VIII (other than claims or causes of action arising from fraud, and other than claims for specific performance or claims arising under any Transaction Documents (which claims shall be subject to the liability provisions of such Transaction Documents)).
8.11    Express Negligence Rule. THE INDEMNIFICATION AND ASSUMPTION PROVISIONS PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN EXPRESSLY NEGOTIATED IN EVERY DETAIL, ARE INTENDED TO BE GIVEN FULL AND LITERAL EFFECT, AND SHALL BE APPLICABLE WHETHER OR NOT THE LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, CLAIMS, JUDGMENTS, LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES OR DAMAGES IN QUESTION ARISE OR AROSE SOLELY OR IN PART FROM THE GROSS, ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER FAULT OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY. THE PARTNERSHIP AND P66 COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS STATEMENT COMPLIES WITH THE EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE RULE AND CONSTITUTES CONSPICUOUS NOTICE.

8.12    Knowledge. The Partnership Indemnitees’ and the P66 Company Indemnitees’ rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not be diminished by any investigation performed or knowledge acquired or capable of being acquired, whether before or after the date of this Agreement, regarding the accuracy or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty or the performance or non-performance of any covenant.
8.13    Consideration Adjustment. The Parties agree to treat all payments made pursuant to this Article VIII as adjustments to the Cash Consideration for Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by Law following a final determination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or a Governmental Authority with competent jurisdiction.

FORM OF
ASSIGNMENT, ASSUMPTION AND MODIFICATION OF NOTE
THIS ASSIGNMENT, ASSUMPTION AND MODIFICATION OF NOTE (“Assumption”) is dated effective as of         , 2014 by and among Xxxxxxxx 66 Company, a Delaware corporation (“Original Borrower”), Xxxxxxxx 66 Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“New Borrower”), and Xxxxxxxx Gas Company Shareholder, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Lender”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Original Borrower executed and delivered to Lender a Term Loan Note dated October 23, 2014 in the original principal amount of Two Hundred Forty Four Million and No/100’s Dollars ($244,000,000.00) (the “Original Note”), which Original Note is attached hereto as Exhibit A ;
WHEREAS, as partial consideration for the contribution by Original Borrower to New Borrower of certain assets, New Borrower will, with Lender’s consent, assume Original Borrower’s obligations and liabilities under the Original Note, as amended hereby;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.Original Borrower hereby irrevocably assigns to New Borrower, without recourse to Original Borrower, all of Original Borrower’s obligations under the Original Note, as amended by this Assumption. New Borrower hereby assumes, as its direct and primary obligation, all of Original Borrower’s obligations under the Original Note, as amended by this Assumption, and agrees to pay Lender the outstanding principal balance due on, and all interest which accrues on and in accordance with the terms of, the Original Note as amended hereby. From and after the date hereof, all references in the Original Note to “Borrower” as defined in the Original Note shall be deemed to be a reference to New Borrower as the Borrower.

2.The parties hereto agree that, as of the date hereof (a) the outstanding principal balance on the Original Note is                  and No/100’s Dollars ($            .00) and (b) there is no “Event of Default” (as defined under the Original Note) or any event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would become an “Event of Default.”

3.The Original Note is amended as follows:

(a)
Subsection (c) under “Event of Default” on page 2 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

-A 1-



“ (c)(i) Xxxxxxxx 66, a Delaware corporation, ceases to own, directly or indirectly, a majority of the equity interests of, or ceases to Control, the Borrower’s general partner (the “General Partner”); or (ii) the General Partner ceases to be the sole general partner of, or ceases to Control, the Borrower. “Control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of a person or entity, whether through the ability to exercise voting power, by contract or otherwise.”

(b)
A new paragraph is added at the end of the Original Note as follows:

“It is hereby understood and agreed that the General Partner shall have no liability, as general partner or otherwise, for the payment of any amount owing or to be owing hereunder. Lender agrees for itself and its successors and assigns that no claim arising against Borrower under this Note shall be asserted against the General Partner or its assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed so as to prevent Lender from commencing any action, suit or proceeding with respect to or causing legal papers to be served upon the General Partner for the purpose of obtaining jurisdiction over Borrower.”

(c)
The Original Note as amended hereby will be guaranteed by a guaranty to be executed and delivered by the Original Borrower as of the date hereof in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Guaranty”).

4.
The parties hereto intend that, except as provided in this Assumption, this Assumption shall not release, diminish, impair, reduce, or, except as expressly stated herein, otherwise affect any of the obligations under the Original Note. The parties hereto agree to take such further action as may be necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of this Assignment.

5.
Lender hereby releases the Original Borrower from its obligations under the Original Note, as amended hereby, and agrees that Original Borrower is no longer a “Borrower” under the Original Note. From and after the date hereof, Original Borrower will be liable only as guarantor under the Guaranty.

6.
This Assumption and the rights and obligations of the parties under this Assumption shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws of that state. This Assumption is binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the signatories hereto

-A 2-


and their respective successors and assigns. This instrument may be executed in one or more counterparts, including electronic, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

7.
THIS ASSUMPTION REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO.

TERM LOAN NOTE

$244,000,000.00                                October 23, 2014

For value received, the undersigned Xxxxxxxx 66 Company, a Delaware corporation, with principal offices at 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000 (“Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of Xxxxxxxx Gas Company Shareholder, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with principal offices at 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xx., Xxxxxxx, XX 00000 (“Lender”), the principal amount of Two Hundred Forty Four Million and No/100’s Dollars ($244,000,000.00) (the “Loan”) all as required by this Term Loan Note (this “Note”). The Loan is not revolving and any amounts repaid may not be reborrowed by Borrower.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Note, Borrower agrees to repay to Lender the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon as set forth below, on December 1, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”) or such earlier date upon which the maturity of the Loan may have been accelerated pursuant to the terms hereof.
The Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal balance, from the date of borrowing to the date of payment at the rate of three and one/tenth percent (3.1%) per annum. Such interest shall be (i) calculated based upon a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed and (ii) paid, as applicable, (A) quarterly in arrears on the first day following the last day of each calendar quarter, beginning on April 1, 2015, and (B) on the Maturity Date; provided that Borrower shall make an interest payment on January 2, 2015 for the stub interest period beginning on December 1, 2014 and ending on December 31, 2014. If Borrower fails to pay any principal or interest payment as and when due, any amount not paid shall bear interest at the rate of five and one/tenth percent (5.1%) per annum instead of the interest rate stated above, from the date due to the date on which such amount is paid in full.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Note, interest on the Loan and other amounts due hereunder at any time shall be limited to the highest lawful rate that may be charged under the laws of the State of Texas at such time (the “Highest Lawful Rate”). It is the intention of Lender and Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, notwithstanding any term of this Note to the contrary, if Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration that constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be canceled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at Lender's option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loan or refunded to Borrower. In determining whether any interest exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, such interest shall, to the

extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread in equal parts throughout the term of this Note.

Lender shall record in its records the amount of all payments of principal and interest on the Loan. Any failure of Lender to make such recordings, however, shall not affect Borrower's repayment obligations.

All payments made under this Note shall be made without setoff or counterclaim not later than 5:00 P.M. (Houston, Texas, time) on the day when due in lawful money of the United States of America to Lender at its address set forth above or such other location as Lender shall designate in writing to Borrower. Whenever any payment to be made under this Note shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of the payment of interest. “Business Day” means a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in Houston, TX are authorized or required by law to close.

If any one or more of the following events (each, an “Event of Default”) shall occur and be continuing:

(a)
Borrower shall fail to pay (i) any principal of the Loan as and when due in accordance with the terms hereof; (ii) any interest on the Loan within five Business Days after any such interest becomes due in accordance with the terms hereof; or (iii) any other amount payable hereunder, within ten Business Days after any such other amount becomes due in accordance with the terms hereof; or

(b)
Borrower shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian or the like of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property, (ii) become unable, admit in writing its inability or fail to pay its debts generally as they become due, (iii) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iv) be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, (v) commence a voluntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws of the United States of America or file a voluntary petition or answer seeking reorganization, an arrangement with creditors or an order for relief or seeking to take advantage of any insolvency law or file an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding, or action shall be taken by it for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing, or (vi) if without the application, approval or consent of Borrower, a proceeding shall be instituted in any court of competent jurisdiction, under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, seeking in respect of Borrower an order for relief or an adjudication in bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution, winding up, liquidation, a composition or arrangement with creditors, a readjustment of debts, the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator or custodian or the like of Borrower or of all or any substantial part of its assets, or other like relief in respect thereof under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, and, if such proceeding is being contested by Borrower in good faith, the same shall (A) result in the entry of an order

for relief or any such adjudication or appointment or (B) continue undismissed or unstayed for any period of 90 consecutive days; or

(c)
Xxxxxxxx 66 ceases to own, directly or indirectly, a majority of the equity interests of, or ceases to Control, the Borrower. “Control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of a person or entity, whether through the ability to exercise voting power, by contract or otherwise;

then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clauses (iv), (v) or (vi) of clause (b) above, automatically the Loan (with accrued interest thereon) shall immediately become due and payable and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, Lender may by notice of default to Borrower, declare the Loan (with accrued interest thereon) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. Presentment, demand, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
No failure or delay by Lender to exercise any right or power shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power preclude any other or further exercise of such right or power. No waiver of any right or power of Lender in this Note shall be effective unless given in writing signed by Lender. This Note may not be amended or modified except by a writing signed by the parties hereto. All notices under this Note shall be in writing and delivered to the parties hereto at their respective principal offices stated at the beginning hereof.
Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for any fees or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender in connection with the enforcement of this Note and the collection of the Loan and any other amounts due Lender hereunder.

EXHIBIT B

GUARANTY

This Guaranty (“Guaranty”) dated effective as of         , 2014, is made by Xxxxxxxx 66 Company, a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”), in favor of Xxxxxxxx Gas Company Shareholder, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Guaranteed Party”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Xxxxxxxx 66 Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“PSXP”), is an indirect subsidiary of Guarantor and a publicly traded master limited partnership; and
WHEREAS, Guaranteed Party is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guarantor and is currently owed $244,000,000.00 by Guarantor pursuant to that certain Term Promissory Note dated as of October 23, 2014 ( as amended, modified, restated or renewed, the “Note”);
WHEREAS, as partial consideration for the contribution by Guarantor to PSXP of certain assets, PSXP will, with Guaranteed Party’s consent, assume Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities under the Note;
WHEREAS, Guaranteed Party’s consent to such assignment and assumption is subject to the condition that Guarantor execute this Guaranty in favor of Guaranteed Party;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor agrees as follows:
1.    Guaranty. Guarantor unconditionally and absolutely guarantees, as a continuing guaranty of payment and not merely collection, the payment of all monies owed by PSXP to Guaranteed Party that become due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Note (the “Guaranteed Obligations”) plus Guaranteed Party’s reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by Guaranteed Party to collect the underlying indebtedness or to enforce any of its rights hereunder (the “Collection Costs”). If Guaranteed Party notifies Guarantor in writing by proper notice that Guaranteed Party is drawing on this Guaranty for the payment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall pay or cause to be paid the amount of such Guaranteed Obligations to Guaranteed Party within five Business Days after receipt of such notice. “Business Day” means a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in Houston, TX are authorized or required by law to close.
2.    Limit. Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty is specifically limited to the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations that PSXP is expressly required to pay under the Note (even if such Guaranteed Obligations are deemed to be damages), plus any Collection Costs. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS GUARANTY, GUARANTOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR OTHER BUSINESS

-A 10-


INTERRUPTION DAMAGES, BY STATUTE, IN TORT OR CONTRACT, UNDER ANY INDEMNITY PROVISION OR OTHERWISE EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR IN THE NOTE TO BE DUE FROM PSXP TO GUARANTEED PARTY.
3.    Term. This Guaranty shall terminate on full and final payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.
4.    Nature of Guaranty. Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation shall not be limited, diminished, or otherwise affected by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, release, or extent of any collateral for such Guaranteed Obligations. Guaranteed Party will not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Guaranteed Obligations owing to it in the event that PSXP becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization, or similar proceeding, and the failure of Guaranteed Party to so file shall not affect Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. If after receipt from PSXP of any payment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guaranteed Party is compelled to surrender or voluntarily surrenders such payment to any person because such payment is or may be avoided, invalidated, set aside, or determined to be a preference, fraudulent conveyance, or impermissible set-off under bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditor’s rights, then the Guaranteed Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be reinstated or returned by Guaranteed Party, and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective as if such payment had not been made or value received notwithstanding any revocation thereof.
5.    Representations and Warranties. Guarantor represents and warrants to Guaranteed Party on the date hereof that (a) it is duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it was organized and has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Guaranty; (b) the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty require no action by, or filing with, any governmental body or any court having jurisdiction over Guarantor; and (c) this Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforceability only, to applicable bankruptcy, moratorium, insolvency or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and to general principles of equity.
6.    Subrogation. Subject to the second sentence of this paragraph, Guarantor waives its right to be subrogated to the rights of Guaranteed Party against PSXP with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations paid by Guarantor until all Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full to Guaranteed Party and Guarantor has fully satisfied all of Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty. If Guarantor shall make any payment to Guaranteed Party pursuant to this Guaranty, it shall (to the extent of the payment(s) so made) be subrogated to Guaranteed Party’s rights against PSXP; provided, however, that Guarantor agrees that it shall take no action to exercise such rights until the payment in full to Guaranteed Party of all Guaranteed Obligations of PSXP under the Note.
7.    Amendment of Guaranty. No term or provision of this Guaranty shall be amended, modified, waived, or supplemented except in writing signed by Guarantor and Guaranteed Party.
8.    Waivers. Guarantor hereby waives (a) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty; (b) presentment and demand concerning the liabilities of Guarantor; (c) any right to require that any action or proceeding be brought against PSXP or any other person, or to require that Guaranteed Party seek enforcement of any performance against PSXP or any other person, prior to any action against

-A 11-


Guarantor under the terms hereof; (d) notice of any modifications, renewals, replacements, or extensions of the Note; (e) notice of any extension of time for the payment of sums due and payable to Guaranteed Party; (f) with respect to any notes or evidences of indebtedness received by Guaranteed Party from PSXP, notice of presentment, demand for payment or notice of protest; and (g) notice of any dishonor or default by, or disputes with, PSXP. Except as to applicable statutes of limitation, no delay of Guaranteed Party in the exercise of, or failure to exercise, any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such rights or a release of Guarantor from any obligations hereunder. Guarantor consents to the renewal, compromise, extension, acceleration or other changes in the time of payment or other terms of the Guaranteed Obligations, any acceptance or release of collateral, or any changes or modifications to the terms of the Note, without in any way releasing or discharging Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.
9.    Notice. Any notice, request, instruction, correspondence or other document to be given hereunder (herein collectively called “Notice”) shall be in writing and delivered personally or mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, or by facsimile, to Guarantor or to Guaranteed Party at their respective addresses set forth below. Notice given by personal delivery or mail shall be effective upon actual receipt. Notice given by facsimile shall be effective upon actual receipt if received during the recipient’s normal business hours, or at the beginning of the recipient’s next business day after receipt if not received during the recipient’s normal business hours. Guarantor and Guaranteed Party may change any address to which Notice is to be given to such party by giving Notice thereof as provided above.

The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, provided that the arbitrators shall include in their report/award a list of findings, with supporting evidentiary references, upon which they have relied in making their decision. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be Houston, Texas.
Notwithstanding anything herein and regardless of any procedures or rules of the Center for Public Resources, it is expressly agreed that the following shall apply and control over any other provision in this Agreement:

(b)
Except to the extent that the Parties may agree upon selection of one or more arbitrators, the Center for Public Resources shall select arbitrators from a panel reviewed by the Parties. The Parties shall be entitled to exercise peremptory strikes against one-third of the panel and may challenge other candidates for lack of neutrality or lack of qualifications. Challenges shall be resolved in accordance with Center for Public Resource rules.
(c)
The Parties shall have at least twenty (20) Days following the close of hearing within which to submit a brief (not to exceed eighteen (18) pages in length) and ten (10) Days from date of receipt of the opponent’s brief within which to respond thereto.

Company shall not (and shall cause any applicable Company designee delivering Crude Oil by rail to the Terminal on Company’s behalf to not) deliver to the Terminal any Crude Oil on any rail car if such rail car is damaged, in disrepair, or otherwise cannot be unloaded consistent with customary and prudent industry practice and/or past practice.

Section 3.02    Company shall provide any documentation reasonably required by Holdings to authorize unloading and delivery of the Crude Oil on behalf of Company at the Terminal. Upon delivery to the Ferndale Refinery, Holdings shall have no further responsibility for any Claims arising out of possession or use of such Crude Oil.

In the event any portion of the safe working capacity of the Terminal is not available for a period exceeding thirty (30) consecutive Days, then following such 30-Day period, the Monthly Fee shall be proportionately reduced to reflect the amount of working capacity that is not available for unloading at the Terminal. If and to the extent all or any portion of such working capacity again becomes available for use at the Terminal, the Monthly Fee shall be immediately increased to reflect the resumed working capacity availability.

Section 4.02    Partial Period Proration. If the Effective Date is any Day other than the first Day of a Month, or if this Agreement is terminated on any Day other than the last Day of a Month, then any quantity based on a Monthly determination will be prorated by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Days in that part of the Month beginning on the Effective Date or ending on the date of such termination, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is the number of Days in the Month.

If Holdings’ use of all or part of the Terminal for the unloading and delivery of Crude Oil is restrained, enjoined, restricted or terminated by (a) any Governmental Authority, (b) right of eminent domain or (c) the owner of leased land, Holdings, upon being notified of such restraint, enjoinder, restriction or termination, shall notify Company and the applicable Monthly Fee shall be reduced to the extent that Holdings’ use of the Terminal is so restrained, enjoined, restricted or terminated.
Section 4.04    Recovery of Certain Costs.

Except to the extent that the Parties may agree upon selection of one or more arbitrators, the Center for Public Resources shall select arbitrators from a panel reviewed by the Parties. The Parties shall be entitled to exercise peremptory strikes against one-third of the panel and may challenge other candidates for lack of neutrality or lack of qualifications. Challenges shall be resolved in accordance with Center for Public Resource rules.
(c)
The Parties shall have at least twenty (20) Days following the close of hearing within which to submit a brief (not to exceed eighteen (18) pages in length) and ten Days from date of receipt of the opponent’s brief within which to respond thereto.

-G 4-


work together to design and implement a mechanism to allow the Service Provider to recover over time the Recipient’s proportionate share of the costs incurred by the Service Provider in undertaking such maintenance, repair or replacement.

2.05    Records of Services. Each Service Provider shall maintain a true and correct set of records pertaining to all activities relating to its performance of the Services and any work hereunder.

Audits shall not be commenced more than once by such Recipient during any calendar Year and shall be completed within a reasonable time frame not to exceed thirty (30) Days. Each Recipient may request information from any applicable Service Provider’s books and records relating to the obligations hereunder from time to time and such requests shall not constitute an audit for that calendar Year. Each Recipient shall have two (2) Years after the end of a calendar Year during which to conduct an audit of any applicable Service Provider’s books and records for such calendar Year, and any Claim arising out of or based in whole or in part on the information produced or obtained by the performance of any such audit must be made, if at all, within such two (2) Year period.
2.06    Manner of Performing/Providing Services. The Services shall be performed and provided in an efficient and prudent manner with the same degree of diligence and care that the applicable

Service Provider would exercise in providing, or causing to be provided, similar services with respect to its own operations and in all respects in accordance with all applicable Laws relating to the applicable Recipient and such Service Provider. Each Service Provider shall provide, or shall cause to have provided, the Services to be provided by it hereunder in a safe, professional and economical manner and shall advise the applicable Recipient in a timely fashion of all matters of significance that could affect the safety or economics relating to such Services so that such Recipient can make appropriate decisions with respect thereto.

All payments shall be made to the applicable Service Provider by automated clearing house to an account specified by such Service Provider from time to time, provided that as long as such Service Provider is an Affiliate of the applicable Recipient, the Parties may settle such Recipient’s financial obligations to such Service Provider through such Recipient’s normal interaffiliate settlement processes. Any bank charges incurred by such Recipient in remitting funds by automated clearing house shall be for such Recipient’s account. Acceptance by a Service Provider of any payment from a Recipient for any charge or service after termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a renewal of this Agreement or a waiver by such Service Provider of any default by such Recipient hereunder.
(c)
If any Recipient reasonably disputes any Monthly statement, in whole or in part, such Recipient shall promptly notify the applicable Service Provider in writing of the dispute and shall pay the undisputed portion according to the terms of this Section 3.02, and shall promptly seek to resolve the dispute including, if necessary, by arbitration as provided in Article X. An arbitral panel may award reasonable interest on any unpaid amount determined to have been due to such Service Provider but withheld in good faith.

Arbitration Procedure
Either Party may initiate dispute resolution procedures by sending a Notice to the other Party specifically stating the complaining Party’s Claim and by initiating binding arbitration in accordance with the Center for Public Resources Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration of Business Disputes, by three arbitrators who shall be neutral, independent, and generally knowledgeable about the type of transaction which gave rise to the dispute. The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, provided that the arbitrators shall include in their report/award a list of findings, with supporting evidentiary references, upon which they have relied in making their decision. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be Houston, Texas.
Notwithstanding anything herein and regardless of any procedures or rules of the Center for Public Resources, it is expressly agreed that the following shall apply and control over any other provision in this Agreement:

(b)
Except to the extent that the Parties may agree upon selection of one or more arbitrators, the Center for Public Resources shall select arbitrators from a panel reviewed by the Parties. The Parties shall be entitled to exercise peremptory strikes against one-third of the panel and may challenge other candidates for lack of neutrality or lack of qualifications. Challenges shall be resolved in accordance with Center for Public Resource rules.
(c)
The Parties shall have at least twenty (20) Days following the close of hearing within which to submit a brief (not to exceed eighteen (18) pages in length) and ten Days from date of receipt of the opponent’s brief within which to respond thereto.
(d)
The Parties expressly agree that the arbitrators shall not award punitive damages, consequential damages, or attorneys’ fees (except attorneys’ fees specifically authorized by the Agreement).
(e)
The fees and expenses of any mediator or arbitrator shall be shared equally by the Parties.
(f)
The Parties may, by written agreement (signed by both Parties), alter any time deadline or location(s) for meetings.
Time is of the essence for purposes of the provisions of this Exhibit.

If the Premises, Assets and Improvements are not separately assessed, Lessor shall pay the Property Taxes, but Lessor shall forward a copy of the property tax bills to Lessee within five (5) business days of Lessor’s receipt of the tax bills and, subject to Section 9.3 below, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor within thirty (30) days of receipt of Lessor’s invoice, together with proof of payment thereof, an amount equal to Ninety-Five percent (95%) of the Property Taxes for the Refinery Lands, on which the Premises are situated and as more particularly described in Attachment A-2, for that tax year and, with the express understanding and agreement between Lessor and Lessee that there will be a subsequent true-up of Lessee’s ultimate liability for Lessee’s proportion of the Property Taxes in accordance with the subsequent terms of this paragraph and that the percentages above set no precedent in the subsequent determination of the allocation. In the event the Premises, Assets and Improvements are subsequently separately assessed, the aforementioned true-up shall occur within thirty (30) days of receipt by either Party of such separate assessment. Lessee’s liability shall be an equitable proportion of the Property Taxes for the Premises, Assets and Improvements. Lessor and Lessee hereby agree that such proportion will be mutually agreed to by Lessor and Lessee, acting in good faith. In the event that Lessor and Lessee are unable to mutually agree upon such proportion, the Parties shall mutually engage a competent, independent appraiser, whose opinion of proportion shall be binding upon both Parties. The apportionment percentages set forth in this Section 9.2 are solely for the Parties’ benefit in estimating the liability for Property Taxes between them, and each Party hereby covenants and agrees to keep such allocation percentages confidential and to not disclose, communicate or otherwise provide such apportionment percentages at any time to any independent appraiser engaged under this Section 9.2 or in any court proceeding related thereto. The cost of engaging such appraiser shall be borne equally by Lessor and Lessee. These agreed upon allocated assessed values shall remain in effect until changed by the Parties, with either Party having the right to request a review of the allocation on an annual basis. Additionally, if the Premises, Assets or Improvements are not separately assessed, Lessor and Lessee also shall jointly attempt to have the Assessor separately assess the Premises, Assets and Improvements in such a way as to clearly and separately identify the value of the Premises, Assets and Improvements.

9.3    Contesting Real Property Tax. Lessor and Lessee shall each have the right to contest or review, with due diligence and in good faith, the amount or validity of any Property Taxes associated with the Premises, Assets and Improvements, but only with the knowledge and consent of the other Party, it being the express intent of the Parties that they shall work together in cooperation with each other with any such contest or review. For Property Taxes that pertain to the years 2014 and beyond, Lessee shall have the right to contest or review, with due diligence and in good faith, the amount or validity of any Property Taxes associated with the Premises, Assets or Improvements by appropriate legal proceedings provided that if the contested Property Tax is not paid before the start of legal proceedings, then before instituting any proceedings Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a surety company bond, cash deposit or other security mutually agreed upon by Lessor and Lessee as reasonably satisfactory, as security for the payment of the Property Tax, in an

-H 19-


amount sufficient to pay the Property Tax, that may be assessed against the Premises, Assets or Improvements in the legal proceedings. If the property valuation contested is jointly assessed, Lessee shall have a responsibility for surety bond only for that portion of valuation that constitutes the Premises, Assets or Improvements and in an amount determined by mutual consent of Lessor and Lessee. On termination of the legal proceedings or at any time when Lessor and Lessee shall reasonably deem the security to be insufficient for the purpose, Lessee shall, upon demand, deliver to Lessor additional security as is reasonably sufficient for the purpose, and upon failure of the Lessee to do so, the security originally deposited shall be applied to the payment, removal and discharge of the Property Tax and any interest, penalties, charges, and costs accruing in the legal proceedings and the balance, if any, shall be paid to Lessee. If the security shall be insufficient for this purpose, Lessee shall promptly pay over to Lessor an amount sufficient, together with the security originally deposited hereunder, to pay the same. In the event of any default by Lessee, as defined in Article XI of this Lease, for failure to pay the Property Taxes, Lessor is authorized to use the security deposited under this Section 9.3 to apply on account of such default or to pay the Property Tax. The balance, if any, shall be paid to Lessee. Lessor agrees that it will, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, cooperate with Lessee in connection with Lessee’s contesting or reviewing any Property Taxes pursuant to this Paragraph 9.3, provided that Lessor shall not be subject to any liability arising out of any such cooperation, including any liability for the payment of any Property Taxes, costs or expenses.

9.4    Other Taxes. Lessee shall pay, prior to delinquency, any franchise taxes, excise taxes, business and occupation taxes, gross sales taxes, gross receipt taxes, occupational license taxes and similar taxes that are assessed or levied on Lessee’s use or operation of the Premises.

11.2    Remedies. In the event of any such default by a Party, the other Party may, upon the occurrence thereof and during the continuation of such default, exercise any right or remedy which the other Party may have under the laws of the State of New Jersey by reason of such default, but excluding any right to terminate or rescind this Lease or evict Lessee.

ARTICLE XII
CONDEMNATION

12.1    Condemnation in Whole. In the event of Condemnation of the entire Premises, this Lease shall terminate upon the final vesting of title in the condemning Person.

12.2    Condemnation in Part. If a portion of the Premises shall be taken in Condemnation, this Lease shall not automatically terminate but shall, at the option of Lessee, continue with respect to the portion of the Premises that was not so condemned or transferred, unless Lessee provides Lessor with written notice of its election to terminate this Lease within thirty (30) days after such Condemnation.

12.3    Application of Condemnation Proceedings. Any awards made in any Condemnation proceeding described herein shall be paid as follows:

Each Party shall have the right to make a claim against the condemning Person in any Condemnation proceeding for the amount of the actual provable damage suffered as a result of the Condemnation.


-H 22-


ARTICLE XIII
RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

13.1    Right of First Offer. To the extent Lessor determines to sell all or any portion of the Premises, Lessor will grant Lessee the right of first offer to purchase that same portion of the Premises. Prior to seeking, entertaining or considering any offers for the sale or purchase of such property, Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing that it intends to sell such property, describing in sufficient detail the property to be sold. Lessor shall promptly make available all records pertaining to the property to be sold for Lessee’s review, and Lessee shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice to review these records. Lessee shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of Lessor’s notice to submit a written offer to Lessor for the purchase of the property to be sold. Should Lessee fail to timely submit an offer to purchase such property, then Lessee shall be deemed to have waived its right of first offer for such property (subject to its reinstatement as provided below). Lessor shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of Lessee’s written offer to elect to sell the property to Lessee or to seek offers from other parties. Failure by Lessor to timely respond to Lessee’s written offer shall be deemed to be a rejection of Lessee’s offer. If Lessor accepts Lessee’s offer, the Parties shall promptly commence preparation of the closing documents. If Lessor does not accept Lessee’s offer, then Lessor shall have a period of six (6) months after such rejection in which to enter into a bona fide purchase and sale agreement to sell such property to another party, provided Lessor shall not agree to sell such property to any other party unless their offer is at least ten percent (10%) greater in value than the offer submitted by Lessee. In the event Lessor has not entered into a bona fide purchase and sale agreement with another party within six (6) months from rejecting Lessee’s offer, or the waiver by Lessee’s of its right of first offer as described above, then Lessee shall once again have the right of first offer with respect to such property under the same terms and conditions described above. Any exercise or failure to exercise this right of first offer with respect to some but not all of the Refinery, or Lessor’s sale under this provision of some but not all of the Refinery to another party, shall not be deemed to limit, impair, restrict or inhibit Lessee’s right of first offer with respect to the remainder of the Refinery. Any offer made by Lessee under this Article XIII shall be held confidential by Lessor and will not be disclosed to any prospective purchasers of the Premises.

13.2    Exceptions to Right of First Offer. Lessee’s right of first offer set forth in Section 13.1 above shall not apply to:

(a)    an assignment or sale of the Premises to a Lessor Affiliate, provided Lessor and the Affiliate are subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in Section 10.2 (a) of this Lease and the Affiliate agrees that it is bound by and subject to this Article XIII for any subsequent sale of the Premises by the Affiliate;

(b)    a transaction which involves the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Lessor and/or Lessor’s parent companies to a third party, provided Lessor and such purchaser are subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in Section 10.2 (b) of this Lease and such purchaser agrees that it is bound by and subject to this Article XIII for any subsequent sale of the Premises; or

(c)    a transaction in which property rights in the Premises are transferred as part of a financial arrangement including a mortgage of the Premises, provided that such mortgage holder acknowledges that Lessee’s rights under this Article XIII shall apply in the event of any foreclosure of Lessor’s property rights in the Premises.

(d)    In the event a Release of Hazardous Substance occurs from Lessee’s Operations that affects and are of the Premises or Refinery Lands, Lessee will be responsible to remediate such affected areas to the degree required under Environmental Laws. In the event a Release of Hazardous Substance occurs from Lessor’s Operations that affects an area of the Premises, Lessor will be responsible to remediate such affected area to the degree required under Environmental Laws.

(e)     Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor in the event that a governmental agency shall require additional response measures in response to a Release that occurs after the Effective Date.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

17.1    Estoppel Certificate. Lessor and Lessee each agree that from time to time, upon not less than fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice from the other Party, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other Party a statement in writing certifying and stating (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or if there have been modifications, that the Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating such modifications, (b) the dates to which the rent and additional rent have been paid and the current amount of the rent and additional rent, (c) whether or not, to the best knowledge of the signer, the other Party is in default in keeping, observing or performing any term, covenant, or condition contained in this Lease and, if in default, specifying each such default, (d) whether the signing party currently has any claim against the other Party under this Lease and, if so, the nature and the dollar amount, if any, of such claim, (e) whether there exist any offsets or defenses against enforcement of any of the terms of this Lease upon the part of the signing party to be performed, and, if so, specifying the same, and (f) such further information with respect to this Lease as the other Party may reasonably request, it being intended that any statement delivered pursuant to this Section 17.1 shall be binding on the signing Party and may be relied upon by the other Party, any prospective purchaser of the Premises or any prospective mortgagee.
        
17.2    Severability. Every provision of this Lease is severable. If any term or provision hereof is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason by any duly constituted court, agency or tribunal, the legality, validity, or enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

17.5    Waivers. Any failure of either Party to enforce any of the provisions of this Lease or to require compliance with any of its terms at any time during the Term of this Lease, shall in no way affect the validity of this Lease, or any part hereof, and shall not be deemed a waiver of any of the rights of such Party thereafter to enforce any and each such provision or of any subsequent breach by the other Party of the same or any other provision. Each Party’s consent to or approval of any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of such Party’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act by the other Party. The acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any provision hereof, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Lessor’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. Any consent or approval given pursuant to this Lease shall be limited to its express terms and shall not otherwise increase the obligations of the Party giving such consent or approval or otherwise reduce the obligations of the Party receiving such consent or approval.

If Lessee remains in possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the Term hereof without the express written consent of Lessor, such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month at a rental rate to be determined at the time of said termination based on actual fair market value per month plus additional rent and all other charges payable hereunder, and upon all the terms hereof applicable to the month to month tenancy.

17.8    Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity.

17.11    Signs and Fences. Lessee shall be permitted to place any sign upon the Premises and/or erect a fence around all or any portion of the Premises without Lessor’s prior written consent, provided that any such sign or fence shall comply with all Legal Requirements.

Lessor further agrees to retain all such records for a period of not less than five (5) years after the date of such xxxx, statement or invoice. Any representative or representatives authorized by Lessee may audit, during reasonable business hours, any and all such records at any time or times during the Term of this Lease and during the five (5) year period following its termination or expiration. The foregoing obligations in this Section 17.13 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

17.14    Counterparts. This Lease may be signed in any number of counterparts and each counterpart shall represent a fully executed original as if signed by both Parties.
    
17.15    Confidentiality. During the Term of this Lease, it may become necessary or desirable, from time to time, for either Party to provide or disclose to the other Party non-public information that is either confidential or proprietary. The disclosing Party may orally request such information to be kept confidential

-H 27-


if such information is not in a written format, and in such case shall identify and confirm such confidential information in writing to the other Party no later than fifteen (15) days after such disclosure.

The other Party shall not reproduce, copy, use or disclose (except when required by Legal Requirements) any such information in whole or in part to a third party for any purpose without the consent of the disclosing Party. The other Party shall restrict the internal disclosure of any such confidential or proprietary information to only those employees, officers and directors who have a "need to know" such information, and shall restrict those individuals from disclosing, using or permitting the disclosure of such information. In the event the other Party is required by Legal Requirements to disclose any such confidential or proprietary information, the other Party shall cooperate with the disclosing Party to minimize the amount of such information furnished. At the specific request of the disclosing Party, the other Party shall endeavor to secure the agreement of the receiving Person to maintain specified portions of such information in confidence. In the case of any disclosure of any such confidential or proprietary information, whether or not such disclosure is permitted by this Section 17.15, the other Party shall promptly give written notice thereof to the disclosing Party.
