​

Locations (including Product Lien Linefill) at that time (each, an “Ending Product Lien Inventory”).

(b)▇▇▇▇ may, or may have ▇▇▇▇’▇ Inspector, witness all or any aspects of the Volume Determination Procedures as ▇▇▇▇ shall direct, which shall be at the Company’s sole cost and expense once per calendar quarter. If, in the reasonable judgment of ▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇’▇ Inspector, the Volume Determination Procedures have not been applied correctly, then the Transaction Parties will cooperate with ▇▇▇▇, or ▇▇▇▇’▇ Inspector, to ensure the correct application of the Volume Determination Procedures, including making such revisions to the Ending Feedstock Title Inventory, Ending Feedstock Lien Inventory, Ending Product Title Inventory or Ending Product Lien Inventory, in each case, as may be necessary to correct any such errors.

(c)The Transaction Parties agree that, in addition to reporting to ▇▇▇▇ the volume determinations made by the Transaction Parties pursuant to Section 7.1(a), the Transaction Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for all applicable third parties, in each case, to make available online or via an online portal (to which ▇▇▇▇ has access) copies of all volume reports and statements related to Feedstock or Products held at any Included Title Locations or Included Lien Locations or with respect to any Hydrocarbon inventories held by any Transaction Party at any other locations including any inventory, quantity, or quality inspection reports prepared by such third party and in any event the Company will provide such reports and statements to ▇▇▇▇ promptly after the Company’s receipt of any such reports and statements.

7.2Calculation of Sales. For any month, the “Aggregate Monthly Net Group Sales” shall be determined as set forth on Schedule C.

7.3 Included Location Maintenance.

(a)Promptly after the Company completes its annual business plan with respect to any year, it shall notify ▇▇▇▇ of any tank maintenance contemplated with respect to such year that would result in any Included Location being unavailable.

(b)The Transaction Parties shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event within two (2) Business Days after the occurrence thereof) notify ▇▇▇▇ by e-mail or orally (followed by prompt written notice) of any previously unscheduled downtime or maintenance (or reasonably foreseeable unscheduled downtime or maintenance) of any Included Location or any material portion of a Refinery, in each case, expected to have a duration in excess of one (1) day.

(c)The Transaction Parties shall give ▇▇▇▇ at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of (i) any scheduled maintenance that any Transaction Party and/or any of its Affiliates or third parties intends to conduct on any of the Refinery or any Included Tanks that would result in such storage tank being taken out of service for a period greater than thirty (30) days (“Tank Maintenance”) or (ii) any Included Tanks that become inactive for more than thirty (30) days (“Inactive Tanks”), in which case, Schedule E, as applicable, shall be amended in accordance with Section 27.9 by the Parties to exclude such Inactive Tanks as Included Title Locations.

(d)Each Transaction Party agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with Accepted Industry Practice, to complete (and to cause any third parties to complete) any Tank Maintenance as promptly as practicable. The Transaction Parties shall provide ▇▇▇▇ with an initial estimate of the period of any Tank Maintenance and shall regularly

​

17

KE 135394706

​

update ▇▇▇▇ as to the progress of such Tank Maintenance. If, any Transaction Party determines that the expected completion date for Tank Maintenance has or is likely to change by thirty (30) days or more, it shall promptly notify ▇▇▇▇ of such determination.

(e)In addition to ▇▇▇▇’▇ rights and remedies described in Section 12.4, if any Included Tank (i) has had no bulk movements of Feedstock or Products during any period of thirty (30) consecutive days or has otherwise been designated or categorized as no longer being active or in use for at least thirty (30) consecutive days and (ii) holds a de minimis amount of inventory for such period, the Company shall promptly deliver to ▇▇▇▇ written notice thereof describing in reasonable detail the matter, and ▇▇▇▇ shall, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice, advise the Company whether such Included Tank constituting an Included Title Location or Included Lien Location shall cease to constitute an Included Title Location or Included Lien Location, as applicable, for purposes hereof. If ▇▇▇▇ advises the Company by written notice that any such Included Tank is to cease to be an Included Title Location or Included Lien Location, such change in status shall occur on the effective date specified by ▇▇▇▇ in such written notice (which shall be on or after the date such notice is effective) delivered in accordance with Article 24. If any Included Tank has ceased to be an Included Title Location or Included Lien Location pursuant to this Section 7.3(e) and thereafter such Included Tank is returned to service or reactivated and ▇▇▇▇ determines, in its good faith judgment, that such Included Tank is compliant with ▇▇▇▇’▇ Policies and Procedures (applied in a non-discriminatory manner), then ▇▇▇▇ shall promptly cooperate with the Company to reestablish such Included Tank as an Included Title Location or Included Lien Location in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

7.4Certain Regulatory Matters. If ▇▇▇▇ shall determine, in its reasonable judgment, that as a result of (a) the adoption or taking effect of any Applicable Law, (b) any change in Applicable Law or in the administration, interpretation, enforcement or application thereof by any Governmental Authority,

(c)the making or issuance of any request, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any Governmental Authority or (d) any interpretation of or proposal to implement any of the foregoing, in each case, after the Commencement Date (each, a “Regulatory Event”), ▇▇▇▇ or any of its Affiliates is or would (i) not be permitted to hold, own, store, transport, purchase, finance or hedge all or certain types of Feedstock and/or Products subject to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (collectively, “Specified Activities”), (ii) be unable to perform in any material respect its obligations under this Agreement and/or the other Transaction Documents, (iii) be required to hold additional capital, or be assessed any additional capital or other charges, on the basis of holding, storing, transporting, buying, financing, selling, or owing any commodities from time to time, including without limitation, any of the commodities subject to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or (iv) were it to continue to engage in Specified Activities or perform such obligations, and taking into account the manner in which it conducts its business in its discretion generally (and taking into account other commodities and the volumes thereof held by ▇▇▇▇ or any of its Affiliates from time to time), be or likely to be subject to additional or increased burdens or costs (including any requirements to hold additional capital, or to be assessed any additional capital or other charges), then it shall notify the Company in writing of such determination (“Regulatory Event Notice”). Following the sending of a Regulatory Event Notice, ▇▇▇▇ shall promptly consult with the Company in good faith to determine and assess what actions or steps, if any, either the Company or ▇▇▇▇ or the Parties could implement to alleviate, minimize and/or mitigate the effect of any such Regulatory Event. If the Parties identify actions or steps that, in ▇▇▇▇’▇ reasonable judgment, can be implemented without resulting in ▇▇▇▇ incurring any additional costs, expenses or burdens hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents while preserving the economic terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including economic benefits, risk allocation, costs and Liabilities), then the Parties shall, in good faith, endeavor to implement such actions and steps. If the Parties are unable to

​

18

KE 135394706

​

identify such actions or steps or are unable to implement any actions and steps that have been so identified within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the Regulatory Event Notice (unless the Parties mutually agree to extend such period), and for so long as such Regulatory Event (or the effects thereof) continues, then ▇▇▇▇ may, by written notice to the Company, elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Article 17 on the termination date that ▇▇▇▇ specifies in such notice, which termination date shall constitute a “Termination Date” for purposes of Article 17; provided that, to the extent not inconsistent with or in violation of such Regulatory Event and subject to the expected or actual effective date of such Regulatory Event, the termination date specified in such notice shall occur at least ninety

(90) days after the date such notice is given (but no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date such notice is given, unless ▇▇▇▇, in its sole good faith judgment, elects to accelerate such termination date to mitigate or eliminate any risk to ▇▇▇▇ that it may become subject to such Regulatory Event or any additional material costs, burdens or restrictions as a result thereof). Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, if the Termination Date occurs as a result of any Regulatory Event, no S&O Make-Whole Amount shall arise or be or become due and payable hereunder or under any other Transaction Document.

7.5SDS. From time to time as a result of any changes to an existing material safety data sheet (an “SDS”) or any new feedstock or product becoming a Feedstock or Product, as applicable, pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall provide the relevant SDS or relevant new or updated SDS to ▇▇▇▇, promptly after such change or upon the admission of a new Feedstock or Product pursuant to the terms hereof, as applicable.

7.6Material Feedstock Grade Changes. If either the Company or ▇▇▇▇ concludes in its reasonable judgment that the specifications or the mix of the constituents of any Feedstock procured, or projected to be procured, differ materially from those that have generally been procured by the Refinery or those that the Transaction Parties may procure from time to time acting as a prudent refinery operator, then the Company and ▇▇▇▇ will endeavor in good faith to mutually agree on (i) acceptable price indices for such Feedstock, and (ii) a settlement payment from one Party to the other sufficient to compensate the relevant Party for the relative costs and benefits to each of the price differences between the prior price indices and the amended price indices.

7.7Material Product Grade Changes. If either the Company or ▇▇▇▇ concludes in its reasonable judgment that the specifications or the mix of the constituents of a Product Group produced, or projected to be produced, differ materially from those that have generally been produced by the Refinery or those that the Transaction Parties may produce from time to time acting as a prudent refinery operator, then the Company and ▇▇▇▇ will endeavor in good faith to mutually agree on (i) acceptable price indices for such Product, and (ii) a settlement payment from one Party to the other sufficient to compensate the relevant Party for the relative costs and benefits to each of the price differences between the prior price indices and the amended price indices.

​

5.2(c) of the Financing Agreement, shall include such Advance or prepayment, (ii) if applicable, any Provisional Group Price Adjustment Interim Amount is required to be included in such Interim Payment in accordance with Section 5.4(c), shall include such Provisional Group Price Adjustment Interim Amount, and (iii) any provisional calculations that are to be included in such Interim Payment in accordance with Section 8.1(h); provided, that if inventory data have not been reported on any day within a two (2) Business Day period, ▇▇▇▇ will use the inventory data for the day occurring during the thirty (30) day period preceding such calendar day in the manner illustrated on Schedule G that results in the highest daily amount that would be payable to ▇▇▇▇ for the Estimated Daily Net Title Feedstock Sales and the highest daily amount that would be payable to ▇▇▇▇ for the Estimated Daily Net Title Product Sales (as the case may be); provided further, that, if ▇▇▇▇ determines that any inventory data ▇▇▇▇ has used in such determination was materially inaccurate, then ▇▇▇▇ shall adjust future Interim Payments to take account of any corrected inventory data.

If the Interim Payment is a negative amount, the absolute value will represent an amount payable to the Company and if this is a positive amount, it will represent an amount payable to ▇▇▇▇.

(b)With respect to the Estimated Daily Net Title Feedstock Sales, Estimated Daily Net Liened Feedstock, Estimated Daily Net Title Product Sales and Estimated Daily Net Liened Product:

(i)the inventory data to be used in determining each shall include the Best Available Inventory Data; and

(ii)the Company shall, at the end of each day, provide to ▇▇▇▇ the applicable inventory reports in the form set forth on Schedule W-1, showing the quantity of (w) Feedstock held in the Included Feedstock Title Locations, (x) Feedstock that is Included Feedstock Lien Inventory, (y) Products held in the Included Product Title Locations and (z) Products that are Included Product Lien Inventory.

(c)For each day, ▇▇▇▇ will calculate an interim adjustment to the Lien Amount (the “Interim Lien Settlement”), in the manner illustrated on Schedule C and in accordance with Schedule G using Best Available Inventory Data; provided that if inventory data have not been reported on any day within a two (2) Business Day period, ▇▇▇▇ will use the inventory data for the day occurring during the thirty (30) day period preceding such calendar day in the manner illustrated on Schedule G that results in the highest daily amount that would be payable to ▇▇▇▇ for the Estimated Daily Net Liened Feedstock and the highest daily amount that would be payable to ▇▇▇▇ for the Estimated Daily Net Liened Product (as the case may be); provided further that, if ▇▇▇▇ determines that any inventory data ▇▇▇▇ has used in such determination was materially inaccurate, then ▇▇▇▇ shall adjust future Interim Payments to take account of any corrected inventory data.

(d) [Reserved].

(e)For each day, ▇▇▇▇ shall determine the Estimated Daily Net Title Feedstock Sales, Estimated Daily Net Liened Feedstock, Estimated Daily Net Title Product Sales and Estimated Daily Net Liened Product, in a commercially reasonable manner based on the inventory data and otherwise in the manner contemplated by this Section 8.1, Schedule C and Schedule G, and to the extent it deems appropriate taking into account such other data as may be relevant to the determination of such estimates.

​

​

(f)▇▇▇▇ shall advise the Company of the amount of an Interim Payment via invoice issued in accordance with Schedule G. The party obligated to make such Interim Payment shall cause such payment to be made on the applicable payment date indicated on Schedule G.

(g)For any Business Day, the Interim Payment to be determined and advised by ▇▇▇▇ shall be the Interim Payment for that day; provided that if such Business Day is followed by one or more non-Business Days, then ▇▇▇▇ shall determine and advise to the Company the Interim Payment for that Business Day as well as the Interim Payment for each of such subsequent non-Business Days in the manner illustrated on Schedule G and all such Interim Payments shall be due on the same day.

(h)▇▇▇▇ may (but shall not be obligated to) include a provisional calculation of any amounts due hereunder or the other Transaction Documents as of the date of any Interim Payment or as part of the Monthly True-Up Amount for the month of such Interim Payment; provided that (x) if any calculated adjustment is positive, it will represent an amount payable to ▇▇▇▇ and (y) if any calculated adjustment is negative, it will represent an amount payable to the Company. All provisionally charged adjustments will be credited in the applicable Monthly True-Up Amount. All applicable provisional amounts included in any Interim Payment will be taken into account (but without duplication) for purposes of calculating the applicable Monthly True-Up Amount (or estimated Monthly True-Up Amount) or any Unpaid Amounts.

8.2 Monthly True-Up Amount.

(a)For each month, ▇▇▇▇ will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Company, within five (5) Business Days following receipt of the Ending Feedstock Title Inventory, the Ending Feedstock Lien Inventory, the Ending Product Title Inventory, the Ending Product Lien Inventory, and any other supporting documentation, as applicable, pursuant to Section 7.1, a calculation and appropriate documentation to support such calculation for such month for a monthly true-up payment (the “Monthly True-Up Amount”); provided that, ▇▇▇▇ may (but shall not be obligated to), in respect of any Monthly True-Up Amount, provide to the Company an estimate of such Monthly True-Up Amount associated with the applicable true-up month at any time on or after the first calendar day of such month, which shall be calculated by ▇▇▇▇ in good faith based on ▇▇▇▇’▇ best estimates and in accordance with Schedule C and each such estimated Monthly True-Up Amount shall be payable in accordance with this Section 8.2(a). The Monthly True-Up Amount for any month shall be equal to the following determined in accordance with Schedule C:

(ii) any other Unpaid Amounts due from any Transaction Party to ▇▇▇▇;

minus

(iii)any other Unpaid Amount then due from ▇▇▇▇ to any Transaction Party; plus or minus, as applicable,

​

21

KE 135394706

​

(iv)if applicable, any estimated Monthly True-Up Amount previously paid by any Party in respect of such Monthly True-Up Amount pursuant to the proviso in the first sentence of this Section 8.2(a).

If the Monthly True-Up Amount (or estimated Monthly True-Up Amount) is a negative number, then the absolute value of such number shall be the amount due from ▇▇▇▇ to the Company, and if the Monthly True-Up Amount (or any estimated Monthly True-Up Amount) is a positive number, such amount shall be due from the Company to ▇▇▇▇. The Company shall pay (a) any estimated Monthly True-Up Amount due to ▇▇▇▇ two (2) Business Days after receipt of written notice thereof and (b) any Monthly True-Up Amount due to ▇▇▇▇ two (2) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the monthly invoice for any Delivery Month and all related documentation supporting the invoice. ▇▇▇▇ shall pay (x) any estimated Monthly True-Up Amount due to the Company two (2) Business Days after providing written notice thereof to the Company and (y) any Monthly True-Up Amount due to the Company two (2) Business Days after making its definitive determination of such amount by issuing the monthly true-up invoice to the Company.

(b)For purposes of determining the amounts due under Section 8.2(a), the definitions and formulas set forth in Schedule C shall apply. In addition, the Fee Letter contains various definitions and formulas that shall be applied for purposes of determining certain of the amounts referred to in Schedule C.

(c)In the event that any Party determines, in its reasonable discretion, that Feedstock purchases and sales pursuant to the Supply and Offtake Agreement and Advances under the Financing Agreement are resulting in the Monthly Cash Settlement due from the Transaction Parties to ▇▇▇▇ that could be materially decreased via Interim Payments as a result of amendments to Schedule C related to Feedstock, the Parties shall work together in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner to amend Schedule C to reflect such applicable change pursuant to a Specified Schedule Change.

8.3Maximum Inventory Levels. Notwithstanding any transfer of title to ▇▇▇▇ to all such Feedstock or Products or any Lien that ▇▇▇▇ may have over Included Lien Inventory, ▇▇▇▇ shall not be obligated at any time to pay for or make any Advance on account of any quantity of Feedstock or Product under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 or otherwise hereunder to the extent such payment or Advance would relate to an aggregate quantity of Feedstock or such Products in the Included Locations in excess of the then applicable Maximum Inventory Level as set forth on Schedule D or as may have been temporarily adjusted under Section 6.5 of the Supply and Offtake Agreement; it being understood and agreed that a volume of any type of Feedstock or Products in excess of the applicable Maximum Inventory Level therefor may be stored in the applicable Included Locations from time to time and ▇▇▇▇ shall not be required to purchase, pay for or finance any such excess amount, in each case, in accordance with the Transaction Documents.

8.4 Invoices.

(a)Invoices shall be prepared and submitted in accordance with the terms of Schedule G.

(b)If the Company in good faith disputes the amount of any invoice issued by ▇▇▇▇ relating to any amount payable hereunder (including Interim Payments, Monthly True-Up Amounts or Ancillary Costs), it nonetheless shall pay ▇▇▇▇ the full amount of such invoice by the due date and inform ▇▇▇▇ in writing of the portion of the invoice with which it disagrees and why; provided that, to the extent that the Company promptly informs ▇▇▇▇ of a calculation error

​

22

KE 135394706

​

that is obvious on its face, the Company shall pay ▇▇▇▇ the undisputed amounts and may retain such disputed amount pending resolution of such dispute; provided further that the Parties shall work together in a commercially reasonable manner and in good faith to resolve any such dispute prior to the time such disputed amount becomes due and payable, if possible, and otherwise as expeditiously as practicable, and in connection therewith, ▇▇▇▇ shall provide to the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company, in sufficient detail (including Excel spreadsheets or other applicable items which show the applicable figures and formulas used to calculate such payment amounts) to enable the Company to verify the amount to be included in such disputed invoice. If the Parties agree that the Company does not owe some or all of the disputed amount or as may be determined by a court pursuant to Article 22, ▇▇▇▇ shall return such amount to the Company, together with interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate from the date such amount was paid, within two (2) Business Days from, as appropriate, the date of their agreement or the date of the final, non-appealable decision of such court. Following resolution of any such disputed amount, ▇▇▇▇ will issue a corrected invoice and any residual payment that would be required thereby will be made by the appropriate Party within two (2) Business Days.

8.5 [Reserved].

8.6Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon notice from ▇▇▇▇ to the Company, interest shall accrue on any unpaid amounts (including any accelerated amounts) owed by the Transaction Parties under the Transaction Documents at the Default Interest Rate from the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default until such amount is actually received by ▇▇▇▇, and such interest shall be payable on demand, in each case, whether or not such interest is allowed or allowable in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 8.6 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

8.7Payment in Full in Same Day Funds. All payments to be made under the Transaction Documents shall be made by wire transfer of same day funds in U.S. Dollars to, in the case of payments to the Transaction Parties, the bank account listed in Schedule Z, or, in the case of payments to ▇▇▇▇, such bank account at such bank as ▇▇▇▇ shall designate in writing to the payor from time to time. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Inventory Sales Agreement, the Supply and Offtake Agreement and the Financing Agreement or any other Transaction Document, all payments shall be made in full without discount, offset, withholding, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever for any claims which a Party may now have or hereafter acquire against the other Party, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or otherwise.

8.8Inability to Determine SOFR Rate. In the event that any fee, charge or other payment or amount under the Transaction Documents is determined by reference to the SOFR Rate and ▇▇▇▇ determines that the provisions of Section 7.11(a) of the Financing Agreement have been implicated, the Parties shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate to replace such “SOFR Rate” for all such purposes pursuant to the terms of Section 7.11(a) of the Financing Agreement.

8.9Incremental Reduction. At any time the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (Indenture) falls below 1.50:1.00 for two consecutive fiscal quarters, ▇▇▇▇ may, in its sole discretion, elect to reduce the Daily Value for all Product Groups by implementing the Incremental FCCR Fixed Holdback in accordance with Schedule B (the “Incremental Reduction”) with immediate effect for the immediately subsequent invoice delivered pursuant to Section 8.4 until the end of the month in which the delivery of quarterly financial statements for two subsequent consecutive fiscal quarters pursuant to Section

​

23

KE 135394706

​

15.3(a)(ii) shows a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (Indenture) for each such fiscal quarter greater than or equal to 1:50:1:00.

8.10 Advance Rate Reduction.

(a)In the event that any Senior Notes or Senior Secured Notes (together with any Senior Notes, the “Reference Debt”) remain outstanding 91 days prior to the then stated maturity date of the corresponding Reference Debt to which such maturity date applies (any such date, the “Advance Rate Reduction Trigger Date”), then ▇▇▇▇ may, in its sole discretion, elect to reduce the Inventory Advance Rate for each Product Group by implementing the Incremental Maturity Date Fixed Holdback in accordance with Schedule B with immediate effect for the immediately subsequent invoice delivered pursuant to Section 8.4 and for so long as any such Reference Debt for which an Advance Rate Reduction Trigger Date has occurred remains outstanding without repayment or refinancing as contemplated in Section 8.10(b). For the avoidance of doubt, if an Advance Rate Reduction Trigger Date has occurred with respect to more than one of the Senior Notes or Senior Secured Notes that constitute the Reference Debt that remains outstanding at the same time, the implementation of the Incremental Maturity Date Fixed Holdback shall not be additive (but shall continue to apply until it ceases to apply pursuant to the terms of Section 8.10(b).

(b)In the event that (i) any Reference Debt has been repaid or refinanced in full in a manner permitted pursuant to the Transaction Documents and (ii) no other Reference Debt for which an Advance Rate Reduction Trigger Date has occurred remains outstanding without such repayment or refinancing, then effective immediately following the date on which the circumstances described in both the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) exist, the Incremental Maturity Date Fixed Holdback for all Product Groups shall cease to apply, unless and until a subsequent Advance Rate Reduction Trigger Date occurs.

​

and Procedures, then ▇▇▇▇ shall promptly cooperate with the Company to reestablish such Identified Facilities as Included Locations hereunder.

(iii)If the failure of any Identified Facilities to satisfy ▇▇▇▇’▇ Policies and Procedures is solely as a result of ▇▇▇▇’▇ Policies and Procedures exceeding the standards or requirements imposed under Applicable Law or Accepted Industry Practice, then (1) ▇▇▇▇ shall not require the removal of such Identified Facilities as Included Title Locations until the 60th day after giving the Company written notice of such failure, unless in ▇▇▇▇’▇ reasonable judgment such failure presents an imminent risk relating to ▇▇▇▇’▇ rights and interests in Feedstock or Products located at such Identified Facility, in which case ▇▇▇▇ may require that such Identified Facility immediately cease to constitute an Included Title Location and the terms of Section 12.4(a) shall immediately become applicable, (2) during such sixty (60) day period, ▇▇▇▇ shall consult with the Company in good faith to determine whether, based on further information provided by the Company, additional actions or procedures can be taken or implemented that would cause such Identified Facilities to comply with ▇▇▇▇’▇ Policies and Procedures, and (3) if it is determined that such Identified Facilities do comply with ▇▇▇▇’▇ Policies and Procedures or, as a result of such additional actions or procedures, such Identified Facilities become so compliant within such sixty (60) day period, then such Identified Facilities shall remain Included Title Locations.

(iv)If within the sixty (60) day period referred to in clause (iii)(2) above, the Company has identified and diligently commenced the implementation of additional actions or procedures that are intended to result in such Identified Facilities becoming compliant with ▇▇▇▇’▇ Policies and Procedures, but such implementation cannot, despite the use of commercially reasonable efforts, be completed within such sixty (60) day period, then for so long as the Company continues to diligently pursue the implementation of such additional actions and procedures, such sixty (60) day period shall be extended up to an additional sixty (60) days (or such longer period as the Parties may mutually agree (including via email)) to allow for such implementation to be completed.

ARTICLE 13

TAXES

13.1The Transaction Parties shall, jointly and severally, pay and indemnify on After-Tax Basis and hold ▇▇▇▇ harmless against, the amount of all Non-Income Taxes, paid, owing, asserted against, or incurred by ▇▇▇▇ directly or indirectly with respect to the Feedstock procured and sold to a Transaction Party hereunder, and the Products purchased and resold to a Transaction Party hereunder, and other transactions contemplated hereunder to the greatest extent permitted by Applicable Law; in the event that the applicable Transaction Party is not permitted to pay such Taxes, the amount due hereunder shall be adjusted by ▇▇▇▇ such that the Transaction Parties shall bear the economic burden of the Non-Income Taxes. Each Transaction Party shall pay when due such Non-Income Taxes unless there is an applicable exemption from such Non-Income Tax, with written confirmation of such Non-Income Tax exemption to be contemporaneously provided to ▇▇▇▇. To the extent ▇▇▇▇ is required by law to collect such Non-Income Taxes, one hundred percent (100%) of such Non-Income Taxes shall be added to invoices as separately stated charges and paid in full by the Transaction Parties in accordance with this Agreement, unless the applicable Transaction Party is exempt from such Non-Income Taxes and furnishes ▇▇▇▇ with a certificate of exemption; provided, however, that (i) the failure of ▇▇▇▇ to separately state or collect Non-Income Taxes from any Transaction Party shall not alter the liability of

​

13.2If any Transaction Party disagrees with ▇▇▇▇’▇ determination that any Non-Income Tax is due with respect to transactions under this Agreement, such Transaction Party shall have the right to seek an administrative determination in its own name from the applicable taxing authority, or, alternatively, such Transaction Party shall have the right to contest any asserted claim for such Non-Income Taxes in its own name, subject to its agreeing to indemnify ▇▇▇▇ for any reasonable costs of ▇▇▇▇ incurred the entire amount of such contested Non-Income Tax should such Non-Income Tax be deemed applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence is intended to apply only in cases where the applicable Non-Income Tax is due from, or has been assessed against, the Transaction Party. ▇▇▇▇ agrees to reasonably cooperate with such Transaction Party, in the event such Transaction Party determines to contest any such Taxes. The Transaction Parties shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by them or ▇▇▇▇ in the event any Transaction Party decides to seek an administrative determination from the applicable taxing authority or to contest any such Non-Income Taxes.

13.3 ​

(a) Each Transaction Party and ▇▇▇▇ shall promptly inform each other in writing of any assertion by a taxing authority of additional liability for Non-Income Taxes in respect of said transactions. Any legal proceedings or any other action against ▇▇▇▇ with respect to such asserted liability shall be under ▇▇▇▇’▇ direction but the Company shall be kept reasonably informed and consulted by ▇▇▇▇. Any legal proceedings or any other action against any Transaction Party with respect to such asserted liability shall be under such Transaction Party’s direction but ▇▇▇▇ shall be kept reasonably informed and consulted by such Transaction Party. In any event, each Transaction Party and ▇▇▇▇ shall fully cooperate with each other as to the asserted liability. Each Party shall bear all the reasonable costs of any action undertaken by the other at the Party’s request.

(b)In addition to paragraph 13.3 and other information sharing requirements applicable to ▇▇▇▇ and the Transaction Parties, ▇▇▇▇ and each Transaction Party shall seasonably and from time to time as is otherwise reasonable exchange and share information with each other as necessary to properly report, defend, challenge, and pay Taxes (including but not limited to sales taxes and fuel taxes and file tax returns), including information that supports and demonstrates total sales, sales that are exempt from Tax, and sales that are subject to Tax at a reduced rate. The Transaction Parties further agree to cooperate with ▇▇▇▇ in the preparation and filing of any Non-Income Tax returns with respect to the Feedstock procured and sold to a Transaction Party hereunder.

13.4Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Article 13 shall survive until ninety (90) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations for the assessment, collection, and levy of any Tax.

(iv)The guarantee contained in this Section 15.7 shall remain in full force and effect until the Discharge of Secured Obligations.

​

75

KE 135394706

​

(vi)Each Transaction Party agrees that its guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment and performance when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that resort must first be had to any of the other Transaction Parties or any security held for payment of the Secured Obligations.

(b)Right of Contribution. Each Transaction Party hereby agrees that to the extent that a Transaction Party shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Transaction Party shall, subject to and only upon the Discharge of Secured Obligations, be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Transaction Party hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. The provisions of this Section 15.7(b) shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Transaction Party to ▇▇▇▇, and each Transaction Party shall remain liable to ▇▇▇▇ for the full amount guaranteed by such Transaction Party hereunder.

(c)No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Transaction Party hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Transaction Party by ▇▇▇▇, no Transaction Party shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of ▇▇▇▇ against any other Transaction Party or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by ▇▇▇▇ for the payment of the Secured Obligations, nor shall any Transaction Party seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any other Transaction Party or the Calumet Parent in respect of payments made by such Transaction Party hereunder, until the Discharge of Secured Obligations.

(d)Amendments, etc. with respect to the Secured Obligations. Each Transaction Party shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Transaction Party and without notice to or further assent by any Transaction Party, any demand for payment of any of the Secured Obligations made by ▇▇▇▇ may be rescinded by ▇▇▇▇ and any of the Secured Obligations continued, and the Secured Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by ▇▇▇▇, and this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or

​

76

​

terminated, in whole or in part, as ▇▇▇▇ may ▇▇▇▇ advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by ▇▇▇▇ for the payment of the Secured Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. ▇▇▇▇ shall not have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Secured Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 15.7 or any property subject thereto.

(e)Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Transaction Party waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Secured Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by ▇▇▇▇ upon the guarantee contained in this Section 15.7 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 15.7; the Secured Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 15.7; and all dealings between or among the Transaction Parties, on the one hand, and ▇▇▇▇, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 15.7. Each Transaction Party waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any of the Transaction Parties with respect to the Secured Obligations. Each Transaction Party understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 15.7 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (i) the validity or enforceability of, or the lack of authority to enter into, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any of the Secured Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by ▇▇▇▇, (ii) any defense based on any change in the time, manner or place of any payment under, or in any other terms of any Transaction Document or any other amendment, renewal, extension acceleration, compromise or waiver or any consent or departure from the terms of the Transaction Documents,

may at any time be available to or be asserted by any of the Transaction Parties or any other Person against ▇▇▇▇, or (iv) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of such Transaction Party) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the relevant Transaction Party for the Secured Obligations, or of such Transaction Party under the guarantee contained in this Section 15.7, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Transaction Party, ▇▇▇▇ may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Transaction Party or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by ▇▇▇▇ to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any Transaction Party or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any Transaction Party or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Transaction Party of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of ▇▇▇▇ against any Transaction Party.

​

Party or Parties, the “Non-Defaulting Party”) may, without notice, (i) declare all of the Defaulting Party’s obligations under this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Documents to be forthwith due and payable, all without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Defaulting Party, including any Advances under the Financing Agreement then outstanding; provided that, the Non-Defaulting Party may elect to declare all obligations under the Transaction Documents other than the Supply and Offtake Agreement and the Inventory Sales Agreement to be due and payable without the obligations under the Supply and Offtake Agreement and/or the Inventory Sales Agreement being declared due and payable, or vice versa, (ii) terminate the Commitments under the Financing Agreement or any commitments under any other Transaction Document and/or (iii) exercise any rights and remedies provided or available to the Non-Defaulting Party under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or at law or in equity, including all remedies provided under the Uniform Commercial Code; provided that, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 16.1(a)(iv) or an Aron EoD pursuant to Section 16.1(b)(iv), the obligations of the Non-Defaulting Party under the Transaction Documents, except for the Safe Harbor Agreements (unless so determined by the Non-Defaulting Party) shall automatically terminate, and, subject to the terms of the Supply and Offtake Agreement with respect to all Secured Obligations that have arisen thereunder and under the other Safe Harbor Agreements, to the extent the Settlement Amount is owed by the Defaulting Party, such Settlement Amount shall automatically become due and payable upon determination of the Settlement Amount pursuant to Section 16.2(d) below without any notice to the Defaulting Party or any further act of the Non-Defaulting Party.

(b)In addition to the rights and remedies described in Section 16.2(a) above, if an Event of Default or Aron EoD has occurred and is continuing, the Non-Defaulting Party shall have the right, immediately and at any time(s) thereafter, to terminate this Agreement (and any other contract or agreement that may be then outstanding among the Parties that relates specifically to this Agreement, including any Transaction Document), including any of its obligations or, in the case of Aron, Commitments, hereunder or thereunder and withhold or suspend any such obligations, including any of its delivery or payment obligations, under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (other than any obligation to calculate or pay the Settlement Amount, the S&O Settlement Amount or the Financing Settlement Amount in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof), and any such date shall be the Early Termination Date for purposes of the Transaction Documents; provided, however, that, (i) such Early Termination Date shall only apply to the Safe Harbor Agreements if the Non-Defaulting Party expressly declares that such Early Termination Date shall apply thereto (ii) in the event that an Event of Default has occurred pursuant to Section 16.1(a)(iv) or Aron EoD pursuant to Section 16.1(b)(iv), subject to clause (i), the date on which such Event of Default or Aron EoD occurs shall be the Early Termination Date for purposes of such Transaction Documents and (iii), in the event Aron is the Non-Defaulting Party, this Agreement and each other Transaction Document shall not be deemed to have terminated in full until Aron shall have disposed of all Feedstock and Products owned or maintained by Aron in connection with the Transaction Documents.

(c)In the event that an Early Termination Date has been declared by the Non-Defaulting Party, then on or as soon as reasonably practicable following the completion of the sale or other liquidation by Aron of all Feedstock and Products within the Included Locations (after the occurrence of an Early Termination Date), the Non-Defaulting Party shall calculate the Settlement Amount, acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, and will provide to the Defaulting Party a statement (i) showing, in reasonable detail, such calculations,

​

82

KE 135394706

​

(ii) specifying any Settlement Amount payable, and (iii) giving details of the relevant account to which any amount payable to it is to be paid.

(d)The “Settlement Amount” shall equal, as of any date of determination (without duplication):

(i)in the event that the Non-Defaulting Party has declared an S&O Early Termination Date pursuant to the terms of the Supply and Offtake Agreement, all or any portion of the S&O Settlement Amount that has not previously been paid in accordance with the terms thereof, plus

(ii)in the event that the Non-Defaulting Party has declared an S&O Early Termination Date pursuant to the terms of the Supply and Offtake Agreement and the Transaction Parties are the Defaulting Party, all or any portion of the S&O Make-Whole Amount that has not previously been paid in accordance with the terms thereof, plus

(iii)(x) in the event that the Transaction Parties are the Defaulting Party, the Financing Settlement Amount and (y) in the event that Aron is the Defaulting Party, the product of (A) the Financing Settlement Amount multiplied by (B) negative one (-1.0), plus

(iv)any other Unpaid Amounts due from the Defaulting Party to the Non-Defaulting Party, minus

(v)any other Unpaid Amounts due from the Non-Defaulting Party to the Defaulting Party.

(e)The Settlement Amount shall be due one (1) Business Day after the statement contemplated by Section 16.2(c) is provided by the Non-Defaulting Party to the Defaulting Party. If the Settlement Amount is a positive number, it shall be due to the Non-Defaulting Party and if it is a negative number, the absolute value thereof shall be due to the Defaulting Party. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Settlement Amount is payable by the Transaction Parties, such amount shall constitute part of the Secured Obligations.

(f)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and without duplication of the rights and obligations set forth in Article 12 of the Supply and Offtake Agreement and Article 10 of the Financing Agreement, in the event the Secured Obligations under the Transaction Documents are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their maturity date, in each case, in respect of any Event of Default (including, but not limited to, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default arising under Section 16.1(a)(iv), (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), the S&O Make-Whole Amount applicable on the date of such acceleration, termination and determination of the Settlement Amount will also be due and payable and shall constitute part of the Secured Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the Parties as to a reasonable calculation of Aron’s lost profits as a result thereof. The S&O Make-Whole Amount shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by Aron as the result of the early termination of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and each Transaction Party agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The S&O Make-Whole Amount shall also be payable in the event the Secured Obligations that exist under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding, deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means). EACH TRANSACTION PARTY

​

83

KE 135394706

​

EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE S&O MAKE-WHOLE AMOUNT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION, TERMINATION OR

DETERMINATION OF THE SETTLEMENT AMOUNT. Each Transaction Party expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the S&O Make-Whole Amount is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the S&O Make-Whole Amount shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct among the Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the S&O Make-Whole Amount; and (D) each Transaction Party shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Each Transaction Party expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the S&O Make-Whole Amount to Aron as herein described is a material inducement to Aron to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(g)THE SETTLEMENT AMOUNT IS DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AND THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT SUCH DAMAGES ARE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE AND THAT THE SETTLEMENT AMOUNT IS INTENDED TO BE A REASONABLE APPROXIMATION OF THE AMOUNT OF SUCH DAMAGES AND NOT A PENALTY.

(h)Default Interest Rate for Settlement Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Settlement Amount is owing to the Non-Defaulting Party and is not paid when due, such overdue amount shall accrue interest at the Default Interest Rate (if owing to Aron) or Aron Default Interest Rate (if owing to a Transaction Party) until such amount shall have been paid in full to the Non-Defaulting Party.

(i)In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in Section 16.2(a) and (b) and without limiting any other rights or remedies hereunder, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Aron is the Non-Defaulting Party, Aron may, in its discretion, (i) exercise its rights and remedies under Section 10.2(b) of the Financing Agreement, (ii) withdraw from storage any and all of the Feedstock and/or Products then in the Included Title Locations pursuant to Section 14.2 of the Storage Facilities Agreement or any Required Storage and Transportation Arrangement, as applicable, (iii) otherwise arrange for the disposition of any Feedstock and/or Products subject to any outstanding Aron Procurement Contract or Included Purchase Transaction and/or the modification, settlement or termination of such outstanding Aron Procurement Contract or Included Purchase Transaction in such manner as it elects, (iv) exercise any of its rights and remedies under the Lien Documents, including under any Bailee’s Letters, any Carrier Notices, any Freight Forwarder Agreements, or any Customs Broker Agreements, (v) liquidate in a commercially reasonable manner any credit support, margin or collateral, to the extent not already in the form of cash (including applying any other margin or collateral) and (vi) apply and set off any credit support, margin, or collateral or the proceeds thereof against any obligation (including the S&O Make-Whole Amount) owing by the Transaction Parties to Aron. Without limiting any other rights or remedies hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents, if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Aron is the Non-Defaulting Party, then, in addition to all of Aron’s rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder, immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default no Transaction Party shall (nor shall any Transaction Party permit any other Transaction Party to) remove any Feedstock or Products from any Included Lien Location without Aron’s prior written

consent. Aron shall be under no obligation to prioritize the order with respect to which it exercises any one or more rights and remedies available hereunder. The Transaction Parties shall in all events remain jointly and severally liable to Aron for any amount payable by the Transaction Parties in respect of any of their obligations remaining unpaid after any such liquidation, application and set off.

(j)In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in Section 16.2(a) and (b) and without limiting any other rights or remedies hereunder, if an Aron EoD has occurred and is continuing and the Transaction Parties are the Non-Defaulting Party, the Transaction Parties may, in their discretion, otherwise arrange for the settlement or termination of the Parties’ outstanding commitments hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, the sale in a commercially reasonable manner of Feedstock and/or Product for Aron’s account, and the replacement of the supply and offtake arrangement and/or the financing arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents with such alternative arrangements as it may procure.

(k)No delay or failure on the part of the Non-Defaulting Party in exercising any right or remedy to which it may be entitled on account of any Event of Default or Aron EoD shall constitute an abandonment of any such right, and the Non-Defaulting Party shall be entitled to exercise such right or remedy at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default or Aron EoD, as applicable.

(l)The Defaulting Party shall indemnify and hold the Non-Defaulting Party harmless from all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred in the exercise of any remedies hereunder.

(m)Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default or Aron EoD, as applicable, the Non-Defaulting Party is hereby authorized by the Defaulting Party any time or from time to time, without notice to the Defaulting Party, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set-off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts), and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Non-Defaulting Party to or for the credit or the account of the Defaulting Party against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Defaulting Party to the Non-Defaulting Party under the Security Agreement and under any other Transaction Documents (including the S&O Make-Whole Amount), including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto or thereto, irrespective of whether or not

(i) Aron shall have made any demand hereunder or (ii) the purchase price of Feedstock or Products, or the principal of or the interest or fees on the obligations or any other amounts due under the Transaction Documents shall have become due and payable and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured.

(n)The Parties acknowledge that, as provided herein and in the other Transaction Documents, Feedstock and Products owned by Aron may be subject to Permitted S&O Liens. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Transaction Party covenants and agrees that (i) such Transaction Party in its capacity as owner and/or operator of any Storage Facilities owned and/or operated by it shall not have or assert any Permitted S&O Lien with respect to any Feedstock or Products owned by Aron (excluding, however, any Permitted S&O Lien granted to such Transaction Party by Aron pursuant to the Storage Facilities Agreement), (ii) the permissibility or existence of any Permitted S&O Liens does not, and shall not be deemed to, in any way limit

​

85

KE 135394706

​

such Transaction Party’s obligations hereunder and the other Transaction Documents to pay amounts that are or could be the basis for any third parties (whether or not a Governmental Authority) asserting or enforcing, or attempting to assert or enforce, any Permitted S&O Lien, including any obligations of such Transaction Party with respect to Ancillary Costs or Taxes and

(iii) the permissibility or existence of any Permitted S&O Liens does not, and shall not be deemed to, limit any rights and remedies of Aron hereunder or under other Transaction Documents (subject, however, to the right of the Transaction Parties to exercise any available rights, remedies, or defenses hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents).

(o)In the event that an Early Termination Date has been established in accordance with Section 16.2(b) of this Agreement and if, and only if, such Early Termination Date applies to the obligations under the Financing Agreement (i) the Commitments of Aron shall immediately terminate and (ii) the Financing Settlement Amount shall be included in the calculation of the Settlement Amount pursuant to Section 16.2(d) and payable in connection therewith pursuant to Section 16.2(f).

​

​

(b)If, pursuant to the Marketing and Sales Agreement, any sales commitments are outstanding which, by their terms, extend beyond the Termination Date, then the Parties shall promptly negotiate and enter into, with each of the purchasers thereunder, assignments, assumptions and/or such other documentation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parties, pursuant to which, as of the Termination Date, (i) such sales commitment shall be assigned (or reassigned) to a Transaction Party or shall be terminated, (ii) all rights and obligations of Aron with respect to each then outstanding sales commitment shall be assigned to a Transaction Party, (iii) a Transaction Party shall assume all of such obligations to be paid or performed following such termination, and (iv) Aron shall be released by the purchasers thereunder and the applicable Transaction Parties from any further obligations with respect to such sales commitments.

(d)The volume of Feedstock and Products at the Included Title Locations shall be purchased and transferred as contemplated in the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement. The Feedstock volumes measured by the Transaction Parties or, at Aron’s election, by Aron’s Inspector, at the Termination Date and, if so elected by Aron, recorded in Aron’s Inspector’s final inventory report shall be the “Termination Date Feedstock Volumes” for the purposes of this Agreement and the Product volumes measured by the Transaction Parties or, at Aron’s election, by Aron’s Inspector at the Termination Date and recorded in Aron’s Inspector’s final inventory report shall be the “Termination Date Product Volumes” for purposes of this Agreement, and such Termination Date Feedstock Volumes and Termination Date Product Volumes shall collectively be referred to as the “Termination Date Volumes”, in each case, as measured in accordance with the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement.

(e)Aron shall promptly reconcile and determine the Termination Amount pursuant to Section 17.2. The Parties shall promptly exchange all information necessary to determine the estimates and final calculations contemplated by Section 17.2.

(f)From and after the Termination Date or such earlier date as the Parties may determine in connection with the transitioning of supply arrangements for Feedstock or Products to the Company or its designee, Aron shall have no further obligation to purchase or advance on account of and shall not purchase or pay for or advance any funds on account of Feedstock or Products, or incur any such purchase or advance obligations (including in respect of any Lien

Amounts), except as may be required for Aron to fulfill its obligations hereunder until the Termination Date or during any obligatory notice period pursuant to any Aron Procurement Contract or Included Purchase Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Delivery Date shall occur later than the calendar day immediately preceding the Termination Date.

17.2 Termination Amount.

(a) The “Termination Amount” shall equal (without duplication):

(i)any unwind costs related to Agreed Roll Differentials as determined by Aron in a commercially reasonably manner based on customary market practice for similarly situated counterparties and products and taking into account prevailing market conditions at the time; plus

(ii) any Unpaid Amounts owed to Aron, minus

(iii) any Unpaid Amounts owed to the Transaction Parties, plus

(iv)all Ancillary Costs incurred by Aron in connection with the period from the Commencement Date through the Termination Date that have not yet been paid or reimbursed by the Transaction Parties, plus

(v)any amounts owed to Aron in connection with any Lien Amounts, Credit Extensions or Advances under the Financing Agreement, including any interest or fees accrued thereon.

All of the foregoing amounts shall be aggregated or netted to a single liquidated amount owing from one Party to the other. If the Termination Amount is a positive number, it shall be due to Aron and if it is a negative number, the absolute value thereof shall be due to the Company.

(b)The Parties acknowledge that one or more of the components of the Termination Amount may not be able to be definitively determined by the Termination Date and therefore agree that Aron shall, estimate, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, each of such components and use such estimated components to determine an estimate of the Termination Amount (the “Estimated Termination Amount”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties agree that the amount due under Section 17.2(a)(i) above shall be estimated by Aron in the same manner and using the same methodology as it used in preparing the Estimated Commencement Date Value, but in each case, applying the Estimated Step-Out Index Amount and the applicable Prices for such Feedstock and Products (without giving effect to any Inventory Advance Rate, any Fixed Holdback Amount, any Incremental FCCR Holdback Amount, and any Incremental Maturity Date Fixed Holdback Amount) and other price terms provided for herein with respect to the purchase of the Termination Date Volumes or the calculation of other amounts that may be owed by the Transaction Parties hereunder. Aron shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare, and provide the Company with, an initial Estimated Termination Amount, together with appropriate supporting documentation, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Termination Date. To the extent reasonably practicable, Aron shall endeavor to update its calculation of the Estimated Termination Amount by no later than 4:00 p.m. ET on the Business Day prior to the Termination Date. Otherwise, the initial Estimated Termination Amount shall be the amount payable on the Termination Date. If the

​

88

KE 135394706

​

Estimated Termination Amount is a positive number, it shall be due to Aron and if it is a negative number, the absolute value thereof shall be due to the Company.

(c)On or before the later of fifteen (15) Business Days following the (i) Termination Date and (ii) the receipt by Aron from the Transaction Parties of the Termination Date Volumes, any applicable monthly reports or statements and any other information reasonably requested by Aron, Aron shall prepare, and provide the Company with, (y) a statement showing the calculation, as of the Termination Date, of the Termination Amount, and

(z) a statement (the “Termination Reconciliation Statement”) reconciling the Termination Amount with the sum of the Estimated Termination Amount pursuant to Section 17.2(b) and indicating any amount remaining to be paid by one Party to the other as a result of such reconciliation. Within one (1) Business Day after receiving the Termination Reconciliation Statement and the related supporting documentation, the Parties will make any and all payments required pursuant thereto. Promptly after receiving (or making) such payments (but in any event within five (5) Business Days), Aron shall (i) cause any filing or recording of any UCC financing forms to be terminated, (ii) release and terminate all Lien Documents pursuant to one or more instruments mutually acceptable to the Parties and (iii) deliver, re-assign, reconvey and transfer, as applicable, to the Transaction Parties any other Collateral or credit support held or maintained by Aron.

(d)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Aron shall not have any obligation to make any payment contemplated by this Section 17.2, transfer title to Feedstock or Products, release liens or otherwise cooperate in the transition matters described in Section 17.1 unless the Transaction Parties shall have performed their obligations under the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement and this Section 17.2 as and when required pursuant to the terms hereof and thereof.

(e)Default Interest Rate for Termination Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Termination Amount is not paid when due, such overdue amount shall accrue interest at the Default Interest Rate (if owing to Aron) or the Aron Default Interest Rate (if owing to a Transaction Party) until such amount shall have been paid in full to the Party to whom such amount is owed.

17.3Transition Services. To the extent necessary to facilitate the transition to the purchasers of the storage and transportation rights and status contemplated hereby, each Party shall take such additional actions, execute such further instruments and provide such additional assistance as the other Party may from time to time reasonably request for such purposes.

18.3The Parties’ obligations to defend, indemnify, and hold each other harmless under the terms of the Transaction Documents shall not vest any rights in any third party (whether a Governmental

18.4Each Party agrees to notify the other as soon as practicable after receiving notice of any claim or suit brought against it within the indemnities of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, shall furnish to the other the complete details within its knowledge and shall render all reasonable assistance requested by the other in the defense; provided that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder, except to the extent that the indemnifying Party is materially adversely affected by such failure. Each Party shall have the right but not the duty to participate, at its own expense, with counsel of its own selection, in the defense and settlement thereof without relieving the other of any obligations hereunder.

18.5The Transaction Parties shall, jointly and severally, pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Aron and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel and tax consultants for Aron) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Aron and its Affiliates in connection with the enforcement or protection of Aron’s rights under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

​

93

KE 135394706

​

delegate all of Aron’s rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents as a whole to: (i) any Affiliate of Aron; provided that (x) the creditworthiness of such Affiliate, in the Company’s reasonable credit judgment, is equal or superior to the creditworthiness of Aron immediately prior to such assignment or (y) the obligations of such Affiliate hereunder are guaranteed by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.; or (ii) any non-Affiliate Person that succeeds to all or substantially all of Aron’s assets and business and assumes Aron’s obligations hereunder, whether by contract, operation of law or otherwise; provided that the creditworthiness of such successor entity, in the Company’s reasonable credit judgment, is equal or superior to the creditworthiness of Aron immediately prior to such assignment, provided, further, that, in the case of this clause (a), such permitted assignees shall have become a party to the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, (b) sell participations in all or any portions of the transactions contemplated pursuant to the Transaction Documents and the Secured Obligations pursuant to Section 23.3 and (c) assign, pledge and/or grant a security interest in the Transaction Documents pursuant to Section 23.4.

23.3 Participations.

(a)Aron shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations in all or any portion of the transactions contemplated pursuant to the Transaction Documents or in any other Secured Obligations to any Person other than a Disqualified Institution; provided that (i) Aron’s obligations under the Transaction Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) Aron shall remain solely responsible to the Transaction Parties for the performance of such obligations and

(iii) the applicable Company Entities shall continue to deal solely and directly with Aron in connection with Aron’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. In the event that Aron sells a participation pursuant to this Section 23.3, Aron shall, acting solely for United States federal income tax purposes as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it records the name and address of each participant to which it has sold a participation and the amounts (and stated fees or interest, if applicable) of each such participant’s interest in the Transaction Documents or the Secured Obligations (the “Participant Register”); provided that Aron shall not have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Transaction Documents or Secured Obligations), except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such right or obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Unless otherwise required by the IRS, any disclosure required by the foregoing sentence shall be made by Aron directly and solely to the IRS. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Aron shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(b)The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of Aron, shall not be entitled to require Aron to take or omit to take any action hereunder, except that any participation agreement may provide that the participant’s consent must be obtained with respect to the consent of Aron to any waiver, amendment, modification or consent the effect of which would be to:

(i)(x) increase any Commitment or obligation of Aron to purchase or sell Feedstock or Products or make any Advances or Credit Extensions, in each case, other than any decisions by Aron to enter into Aron Procurement Contracts or Included Purchase Transactions or (y) postpone the scheduled expiration date of any of those

​

94

KE 135394706

​

matters addressed in (and not excepted from) the foregoing clause (x) (it being understood that no waiver, amendment or other modification of any condition precedent, covenant, Default or Event of Default shall constitute an increase in any Commitment or obligation of Aron for purposes of this Section 23.3(b)(i));

(ii) extend the Term;

(iii)waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled payment under the Transaction Documents (but not any voluntary prepayment of Discretionary Draw Advances);

(iv)reduce the rate of interest or any fee or premium payable under the Transaction Documents, or waive or postpone the time for payment of any such interest, fee or premium;

(v)reduce the principal amount of any Advance or other Credit Extension or the amount owed to Aron in connection with any sales to the Transaction Parties of any Feedstock or Products under the Transaction Documents;

(vi) waive, amend or modify any provision of this Section 23.3(b);

(viii)any determination regarding Prices, or any amendments to the provisions in the Transaction Documents governing Prices.

To the extent permitted by law, each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of any set-off and recoupment provisions relating to the portion of the Secured Obligations in which it is participating as though it were Aron.

(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 23.3 or any other term set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, (i) at a time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any participant shall not at any time be subject to any limitations on its rights to require Aron to take or omit to take any action under the Transaction Documents unless expressly set forth in the participation agreement between Aron and such participant (in Aron’s sole discretion) and (ii) Aron shall have no liability or obligations as a result of any participant obtaining, holding or exercising any rights to require Aron to take or omit to take any action hereunder or under any other Transaction Documents in accordance with clause (d)(i) above.

23.4Certain Other Transfers. In addition to any other assignment or participation permitted pursuant to this Article 23, Aron may assign, pledge and/or grant a security interest in all or any portion of the Secured Obligations owed to it, and its notes, if any, to secure obligations of Aron, including to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any operating circular issued by any Federal Reserve Bank or to any other central bank; provided that, Aron shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents as a result of any such assignment and pledge; and provided further that in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, other central bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be “Aron” hereunder or under any other Transaction Document.

23.5Any attempted assignment in violation of this Article 23 shall be null and void ab initio and the non-assigning Party shall have the right, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies it may have hereunder or otherwise, to terminate this Agreement effective immediately upon notice to the Party attempting such assignment.

​

a Transaction Party at each Included Feedstock Lien Location or (ii) constitutes Eligible In-Transit Feedstock Inventory; and

7.12. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy and Liquidity.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, ▇▇▇▇ (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the SOFR Rate);

(ii) subject ▇▇▇▇ to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes,

(B) Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)impose on ▇▇▇▇ any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any Advances made by ▇▇▇▇;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to ▇▇▇▇ of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Advance or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of ▇▇▇▇, the Company will pay to ▇▇▇▇ such additional amount or amounts as will compensate ▇▇▇▇ for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)Capital and Liquidity Requirements. If ▇▇▇▇ determines that any Change in Law affecting ▇▇▇▇ or any lending office of ▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇’▇ holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such ▇▇▇▇’▇ capital or on the capital of Aron’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of ▇▇▇▇ or the Advances made by ▇▇▇▇ to a level below that which ▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇’▇ holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration ▇▇▇▇’▇ policies and the policies of ▇▇▇▇’▇ holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time upon request of ▇▇▇▇ the Company will pay to ▇▇▇▇ such additional amount or amounts as will compensate ▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇’▇ holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of ▇▇▇▇ setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate ▇▇▇▇ or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 7.12(a) or 7.12(b) and delivered to the Company, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay ▇▇▇▇ the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d)Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of ▇▇▇▇ to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 7.12 shall not constitute a waiver of ▇▇▇▇’▇ right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate ▇▇▇▇ pursuant to this Section 7.12 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the date that ▇▇▇▇ notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of ▇▇▇▇’▇ intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or

​

9

4159-0352-3661.14

​

reductions is retroactive, then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e)Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.12 to the contrary, ▇▇▇▇ shall not request, or be entitled to receive, any compensation pursuant to this Section 7.12 unless it shall be the general policy or practice of ▇▇▇▇ to seek compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any.

7.13. Taxes; Withholding, Etc.

(a)Applicable Law. For purposes of this Section 7.13, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Transaction Party under this Agreement shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Transaction Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 7.13) ▇▇▇▇ receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c)Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties. Each Transaction Party shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of ▇▇▇▇ timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d)Indemnification by the Transaction Parties. The Transaction Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify ▇▇▇▇, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 7.13) payable or paid by ▇▇▇▇ or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to ▇▇▇▇ and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by ▇▇▇▇ shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) [Reserved].

(f)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Transaction Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 7.13, such Transaction Party shall deliver to ▇▇▇▇ the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to ▇▇▇▇.

(g) Status of Recipients.

(i)▇▇▇▇ and any other Recipient that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall deliver to the Transaction Parties, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Transaction Parties, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Transaction Parties as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, ▇▇▇▇ and any other Recipient, if reasonably requested by the Transaction Parties, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Transaction Parties as will enable the Transaction Parties to determine whether or not ▇▇▇▇ or such other Recipient is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 7.13(g)(ii)(A), Section 7.13(g)(ii)(B) and Section 7.13(g)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in Aron’s or such other Recipient’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject ▇▇▇▇ or such other Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of ▇▇▇▇ or such other Recipient.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A)▇▇▇▇ and any other Recipient that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Transaction Parties on or prior to the Commencement Date (or, in the case of a Recipient other than ▇▇▇▇, on or prior to such date that such Recipient becomes a Recipient) (and, in each case, from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Transaction Parties), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that ▇▇▇▇ or such other Recipient, as applicable, is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

​

(B)Any Recipient that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Transaction Parties (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Transaction Parties) on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Transaction Parties), whichever of the following is applicable:

​

U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

​

11

4159-0352-3661.14

​

(2) in the case of a Recipient claiming that its extension of credit will generate

U.S. effectively connected income, executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form);

​

(3)in the case of a Recipient claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit IV to the effect that (A) such Recipient is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of either Transaction Party within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code and (B) the interest payments in question are not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business conducted by such Recipient or are effectively connected but are not includible in the Recipient’s gross income for U.S. federal income Tax purposes under an income Tax treaty (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form); or

​

(4)to the extent a Recipient is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor form), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form), IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit V or Exhibit VI, IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form), and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Recipient is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Recipient are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Recipient may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit VII on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

​

(C)any Recipient shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Transaction Parties (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Transaction Parties) on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under any Transaction Document (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Transaction Parties), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Transaction Parties to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

​

(D)if a payment made to a Recipient under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Recipient shall deliver to the Transaction Parties at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Transaction Parties such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Transaction Parties as may be necessary for

​

12

4159-0352-3661.14

​

the Transaction Parties to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Commencement Date.

​

Each Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Transaction Parties in writing of its legal inability to do so.

​

(h)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If ▇▇▇▇ or any other Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 7.13 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 7.13), it shall pay to the Transaction Parties an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 7.13 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The Transaction Parties, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 7.13(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.13(h), in no event will the indemnified Party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 7.13(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified Party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 7.13(h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified Party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying Party or any other Person.

(i)Survival. Each Party’s and each Recipient’s obligations under this Section 7.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of ▇▇▇▇ or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a lender, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

7.14.Obligation to Mitigate. If ▇▇▇▇ becomes an Affected Lender or requests compensation under Section 7.12, or if the Company is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to ▇▇▇▇ or to any Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 7.13, then ▇▇▇▇ shall (at the request of the Company) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates if, in the judgment of ▇▇▇▇, such designation or assignment and delegation (a) would cause ▇▇▇▇ to cease to be an Affected Lender or would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.12 or 7.13, as the case may be, in the future and (b) would not subject ▇▇▇▇ to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to ▇▇▇▇. The Company hereby agrees to pay all

​

13

4159-0352-3661.14

​

reasonable costs and expenses incurred by ▇▇▇▇ in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation.

7.15. Benchmark Replacement.

(a)Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder, or under any other Transaction Document, in respect of all determinations of the Benchmark at any time following 5:00 p.m. ET on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided by ▇▇▇▇ to Company without any amendment to this Agreement or further action or consent of any other party.

(b)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, ▇▇▇▇ will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. ▇▇▇▇ will promptly notify the Company of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and

(iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by ▇▇▇▇ pursuant to this Section 7.15, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from any other party.

SECTION 8. [RESERVED] SECTION 9. [RESERVED] SECTION 10.

DEFAULT AND TERMINATION

(i) the Commitments of ▇▇▇▇ shall immediately terminate and (ii) the Financing Settlement Amount shall become immediately due and payable. As of such date, the “Financing Settlement Amount” shall equal the sum of: (i) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of, and accrued interest on the Advances and ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ made by ▇▇▇▇, plus (ii) all costs and expenses payable to ▇▇▇▇ pursuant to Section 7.12(c), plus (iii) unpaid fees payable under the Fee Letter in respect of any Secured Obligations arising hereunder. The Financing Settlement Amount shall be included in the calculation of the Settlement Amount pursuant to Section 16.2(d) of the Monetization Master Agreement.

(c)Default Interest Rate for Financing Settlement Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Financing Settlement Amount is owing to the Non-Defaulting Party and is not paid when due, such overdue amount shall accrue interest at the Default Interest Rate until such amount shall have been paid in full to the Non-Defaulting Party.

4.2 Procurement of Feedstock.

(a) ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts.

(i)From time to time during the Term of this Agreement and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.1, any Transaction Party may propose that one or more ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts be entered into, including any such additional ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract as may be entered into to replace an outstanding ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract upon its expiration, in each case, subject to ▇▇▇▇’▇ sole discretion as set forth herein.

(ii)If ▇▇▇▇ elects, in its sole discretion, to approve any such proposed ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract with a Third Party Supplier, then the applicable Transaction Party shall endeavor to identify quantities of Feedstock that may be acquired from one or more Third Party Suppliers under contracts that provide for one or more shipment(s) of Feedstock.

(iii)Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 and the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2, if a Transaction Party has negotiated an offer from an Third Party Supplier for an ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract (and, if relevant, Procurement Contract Assignment) that such Transaction Party wishes to be executed, then the Company or applicable other Transaction Party shall apprise

​

3

4124-3044-3341.21

​

▇▇▇▇ in writing, using the applicable trade ticket included in Schedule A (the “Trade Ticket”), of the terms of such offer, and ▇▇▇▇ shall promptly, but no later than two (2) Business Days after such Transaction Party’s delivery of such applicable Trade Ticket, determine and advise the Company or applicable other Transaction Party as to whether ▇▇▇▇ agrees to accept, in its sole discretion, such offer specified in the Trade Ticket. If Aron indicates its agreement to accept such offer, then ▇▇▇▇ shall promptly communicate its acceptance of such offer to the Company or applicable other Transaction Party and such Third Party Supplier so that the Third Party Supplier and ▇▇▇▇ may enter into a binding ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract (and, if relevant, Procurement Contract Assignment); provided that any additional ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract (and, if relevant, related Procurement Contract Assignment) shall require ▇▇▇▇’▇ express written agreement, in its sole discretion, and ▇▇▇▇ shall not have any liability under or in connection with this Agreement if for any reason it, in its sole discretion but acting in good faith, does not agree to any proposed ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract or related Procurement Contract Assignment. Unless mutually agreed by the Parties, and in addition to all other requirements for entry by ▇▇▇▇ into any ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract pursuant to this Article 4, any Trade Ticket submitted by a Transaction Party shall (A) be for a Person that is an Third Party Supplier as of the date of such Trade Ticket, (B) be for Feedstock that is subject to such ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract that is capable of being processed by the Refinery and (C) have terms and conditions that, other than with respect to the delivery by ▇▇▇▇ of Feedstock to such Transaction Party (which shall be in accordance with the other terms hereof), shall be mirrored in the general terms and conditions and other terms and conditions to be negotiated by ▇▇▇▇ in such ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract.

(b)▇▇▇▇ may, in its sole discretion, but acting in good faith, elect to reject any such offer to enter into an ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract (regardless of whether any such ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract is proposed to be with a Third Party Supplier or otherwise contains terms contemplated in Section 4.2(a)). ▇▇▇▇’▇ decision to reject any such offer may be based on such factors and considerations as ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ relevant, which may include (without limitation) the proposed commercial terms, credit considerations (including credit quality and credit limits), reputational considerations, general terms and conditions with such Third Party Supplier that are acceptable to ▇▇▇▇ or Counterparty Requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ▇▇▇▇ shall not reject any such offer to enter into an ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract with any Person based solely on the fact that such offer was presented to it by a Transaction Party hereunder where, at such time, ▇▇▇▇ would otherwise have transacted with such Person on such terms and under all other applicable policies and limitations (i.e., if a Person is open for trading with ▇▇▇▇ for transactions with substantially similar terms to the transactions that ▇▇▇▇ is requested to enter into in connection herewith, it will be open for trading for ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Contracts, as determined on a trade-by-trade basis).

(c) [Reserved].

(d)In the event that ▇▇▇▇ enters into any ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract with a Third Party Supplier, prior to the delivery of any Barrels under such ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract, the Parties shall establish mutually acceptable procedures and mechanisms for determining and reporting specific volumes of such Barrels.

(e)For deliveries of Feedstock, subject to Sections 8.3 and 8.4, if applicable, title for each quantity of Feedstock shall pass to ▇▇▇▇ as the Feedstock passes the applicable Feedstock Intake Point. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the consideration due from ▇▇▇▇ to the applicable Transaction Party for (i) any Other Barrels or (ii) any Feedstock that is not delivered under an ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract will be paid for in accordance with Article 8 of the Monetization Master Agreement, and will be reflected on the applicable period’s Monthly True-Up Amount documentation and in the corresponding Monthly True-Up Amount.

(i)Any Transaction Party may, from time to time in its sole discretion for any reason, execute a Refinery Procurement Contract to acquire Feedstock that is otherwise in compliance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, including all required Feedstock specifications for such Transaction Party’s account, with such Feedstock constituting Other Barrels pursuant to Section 4.2(f)(ii) below.

(ii)In the event that a Transaction Party enters into a Refinery Procurement Contract, but does not enter into a related Confirmation for any Feedstock that is to be purchased by such Transaction Party pursuant thereto, and such Feedstock is subsequently delivered to the Included Feedstock Title Locations (“Other Barrels”), then such Other Barrels shall be deemed sold to and purchased by ▇▇▇▇ as and when they pass the applicable Feedstock Intake Point at a value per Barrel equal to the sum of the then current Index Amount applicable to Feedstock plus the then current Feedstock Price, in each case, at such time.

(iii)If at any time deliveries under Refinery Procurement Contracts or Confirmations between a Transaction Party and ▇▇▇▇ are outstanding, with respect to any Other Barrels that the Transaction Parties expect to deliver to any Included Feedstock Title Location, the Company shall give ▇▇▇▇ written notice of such expected delivery at least ten (10) Business Days preceding the expected delivery month for such Other Barrels and in such notice the Company shall provide to ▇▇▇▇ the quantity and delivery terms of such Other Barrels expected to be delivered.

If any change occurs in the terms relating to quantity, pricing or delivery (including the timing of delivery) of a Refinery Procurement Contract that the applicable Transaction Party expects to procure for delivery during such Delivery Month, such Transaction Party shall promptly advise ▇▇▇▇ of such change. With respect to any Confirmation issued by ▇▇▇▇ to the applicable Transaction Party in connection with a Refinery Procurement Contract, if ▇▇▇▇ does not receive from such Transaction Party either acceptance or notification of a bona fide error within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such Confirmation, then such Transaction Party shall be deemed to have accepted such Confirmation, and such Confirmation shall be effective and binding upon the Parties.

4.6 Contract Documentation, Confirmations and Conditions.

(a)▇▇▇▇’▇ obligations to deliver Feedstock under this Agreement shall be subject to (i) the Company or other applicable Transaction Party identifying and negotiating the terms of any potential ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts, in accordance with and subject to Section 4.2, that are acceptable to both the applicable Transaction Party and ▇▇▇▇ relating to a sufficient quantity of Feedstock to meet the Refinery’s requirements, (ii) the Transaction Parties performing their obligations hereunder with respect to providing ▇▇▇▇ with timely nominations, forecasts and projections (including Projected Monthly Run Volumes, as contemplated in Section 4.3(a)) so that ▇▇▇▇ may make timely nominations under the ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts, (iii) all of the terms and conditions of the ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts, (iv) any other condition set forth in Section 4.1 above and (v) no Default or Event of Default having occurred and being continuing with respect to the Transaction Parties.

4124-3044-3341.21

​

good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, to obtain the Third Party Supplier’s agreement that a copy of such ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract may be provided to the applicable Transaction Parties; provided that this Section 4.6(b) in no way limits the Company’s rights to consent to all ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts as contemplated by Section 4.2. In addition, to the extent ▇▇▇▇ is permitted to do so, ▇▇▇▇ will endeavor to keep the Transaction Parties apprised of, and consult with the Transaction Parties regarding, the terms and conditions being incorporated into any ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract under negotiation with a Third Party Supplier. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ▇▇▇▇ and the Transaction Parties may pre-agree on one or more standard sets of general terms and conditions and modifications thereto upon which ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Contracts may be executed without any further obligation of ▇▇▇▇ to apprise the Transaction Parties of such terms and conditions incorporated into such ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract and may, from time to time, agree to alterations or further modifications to such pre-agreed terms.

(c)Subject to Section 4.10, if any dispute arises with a Third Party Supplier regarding the terms of any documentation to which ▇▇▇▇ is a party, ▇▇▇▇ in cooperation with the applicable Transaction Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such documentation discrepancy with such Third Party Supplier; provided that if such discrepancy has not been resolved within five (5) Business Days after ▇▇▇▇ has commenced such efforts, then any time thereafter, upon request by ▇▇▇▇, the applicable Transaction Party shall assume full responsibility for communicating with such Third Party Supplier and endeavoring to resolve such documentation discrepancy. Following the applicable Transaction Party’s assumption of the handling of such dispute and upon the Company’s request, ▇▇▇▇ shall, in a commercially reasonable manner, cooperate with the Company to resolve such dispute, subject to ▇▇▇▇’▇ policies, procedures and restrictions. ▇▇▇▇ shall be fully entitled to rely on the terms in any contract that ▇▇▇▇ has executed notwithstanding any discrepancy with any other documentation unless and until a further amendment thereto is agreed by all parties. Without limiting the foregoing, the Transaction Parties covenant and agree that any costs, losses or damages that ▇▇▇▇ may incur directly as a result of such a documentation discrepancy (including any differences in the terms reflected in any Exchanged Confirmations) shall constitute Ancillary Costs and be for the account of the applicable Transaction Party. The Transaction Parties acknowledge that the confirmation of an ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract with a Third Party Supplier may be effected by Exchanged Confirmations.

(d)Each Transaction Party acknowledges and agrees that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, it is obligated to purchase and take delivery (or cause another Transaction Party to purchase and take delivery) of all Feedstock acquired by ▇▇▇▇ under ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Contracts executed in connection herewith and subject to the terms and conditions specified in Section 4.3 above. In the event of a dispute, ▇▇▇▇ will provide, to the extent legally and contractually permissible, to the applicable Transaction Party, a copy of the ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract in question.

​

PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTY, CONDITION OR OTHER REPRESENTATION, WRITTEN OR ORAL, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS OR SUITABILITY OF SUCH FEEDSTOCK OR PRODUCTS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE.

(a)The failure of any Feedstock or Product that ▇▇▇▇ hereunder sells to a Transaction Party to meet the specifications or other quality requirements applicable thereto as stated in an ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract for that Feedstock or Product shall be for the sole account of such Transaction Party and shall not entitle any Transaction Party to any reduction in the amounts due by it to ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇; provided, however, that any claims made by ▇▇▇▇ with respect to such non-conforming Feedstock or Product shall be for the applicable Transaction Party’s account and resolved in accordance with this Section 4.8.

(b)To the extent not already assigned to a Transaction Party pursuant to the applicable ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract, Parties shall consult with each other and coordinate how to handle and resolve any claims arising in the ordinary course of business (including claims related to Feedstock, Products, pipeline or tank transfers, and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising hereunder between ▇▇▇▇ and any of its vendors who supply goods or services in conjunction with ▇▇▇▇’▇ performance of its obligations under this Agreement) made by or against ▇▇▇▇. In all instances wherein claims are made by a third party against ▇▇▇▇ which will be for the account of a Transaction Party, such Transaction Party shall have the right, subject to Section 4.8(c), to either direct ▇▇▇▇ to take commercially reasonable actions in the handling of such claims or assume the handling of such claims in the name of ▇▇▇▇, all at such Transaction Party’s cost and expense; provided that, ▇▇▇▇ may require that such Transaction Party assume the handling of any such claim.

(c)To the extent any claim has then not already been assigned to a Transaction Party pursuant to the applicable ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract, ▇▇▇▇ may, in its sole discretion, elect to assist at ▇▇▇▇’▇ own expense in prosecuting any such claim.

​

(d)Subject to Section 4.10 and notwithstanding anything in Section 4.8(b) or Section 4.8(c) to the contrary but subject to Section 4.8(e), ▇▇▇▇ may notify the applicable Transaction Party that ▇▇▇▇ is retaining control over or limiting its participation in the resolution of any claim referred to in Section 4.8(b) or Section 4.8(c) based on the facts of circumstances of such claim, as determined by ▇▇▇▇, in its reasonable judgment and in good faith, including giving due consideration to the impact to the applicable Transaction Party; provided that, if ▇▇▇▇ retains control over any such claim resolution pursuant to this Section 4.8(d), then ▇▇▇▇ shall do so at its own expense without further recourse to the Transaction Parties. In addition, any claim that is or becomes subject to Article 14 shall be handled and resolved in accordance with the provisions of Article 14. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.8 to the contrary, ▇▇▇▇ shall not settle any claim for the applicable Transaction Party’s account without the prior written consent of the applicable Transaction Party (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed).

ARTICLE 6

MONTHLY ADJUSTMENTS; MONTHLY COVER COSTS; SHORTFALL; EXCESS INVENTORY LEVELS

6.1Monthly Cover Costs. If, for any month (or portion thereof), ▇▇▇▇ reasonably determines that, as a result of any Transaction Party’s failure to produce or deliver the quantities of Product projected under Section 5.3(a) of the Monetization Master Agreement or any Transaction Party’s failure to comply with its obligations under the Marketing and Sales Agreement (in each case, to the extent not due to ▇▇▇▇’▇ failure to perform), ▇▇▇▇ retains insufficient quantities of Product to comply with its obligations to any third parties under Included Sales Transactions, and ▇▇▇▇, applying commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate, incurs any additional costs and expenses or related damages in procuring and transporting Product from other sources for purposes of covering such delivery obligations or the shortfall in the quantity held for its account (collectively, “Monthly Cover Costs”), then the Transaction Parties shall be obliged to reimburse ▇▇▇▇ for such Monthly Cover Costs, subject to the limitations set forth in Article 15. If any Monthly Cover Costs are due to ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ shall promptly communicate such determination to the Company and, subject to any mitigation of such costs actually achieved by the Transaction Parties, include the calculation of such amount in the Monthly True-Up Amount documentation and such Monthly Cover Costs shall be incorporated as a component of the Monthly True-Up Amount due for such period.

6.2Costs Related to Shortfall. To the extent that ▇▇▇▇ is required to cover any shortfall in any Product delivery under an Included Sales Transaction with any inventory it owns or acquires separately from the inventory owned and maintained in connection with this Agreement, any cost or loss incurred by ▇▇▇▇ in connection therewith (such cost or loss, the “Costs Related to Shortfall”) that is not otherwise included as a Monthly Cover Cost shall constitute an Ancillary Cost that is to be reimbursed to ▇▇▇▇ (provided that, ▇▇▇▇ shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any such costs or losses).

6.3 Excess Inventory Levels.

(a)If, at any time, either a Transaction Party or ▇▇▇▇ determines, with respect to any Product Group, that the aggregate quantity of such Product Group being held in the Included Locations exceeds the Maximum Inventory Level for such Product Group (such excess, an “Excess Quantity”), such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence and volume of such Excess Quantity. Within two (2) Business Days after such notice is given, ▇▇▇▇ shall advise the Company as to whether ▇▇▇▇ accepts such Excess Quantity (in which case Section 6.3(b) shall apply) or rejects such Excess Quantity (in which case Section 6.3(c) shall apply).

(b)If ▇▇▇▇ accepts an Excess Quantity, then the Maximum Inventory Level for the relevant Product Group shall be automatically temporarily adjusted (on a one-time basis) by the amount of such Excess Quantity, and such adjusted Maximum Inventory Level shall temporarily constitute the Maximum Inventory Level for the relevant Product Group for the day in which such Excess Quantity was first identified until and including the day ▇▇▇▇ accepts such Excess Quantity and, at Aron’s option, for such additional day or days as ▇▇▇▇ may specify in writing; provided that if ▇▇▇▇ does not accept such Excess Quantity for any additional day or days, such Excess Quantity shall only be in effect for the day in which such Excess Quantity was first identified until and including the day ▇▇▇▇ accepts such Excess Quantity and if such Excess Quantity remains after the end of such period, the provisions of this Section 6.3 shall apply anew on the following day.

(c)If ▇▇▇▇ rejects an Excess Quantity then, for purposes of determining amounts due under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of the Monetization Master Agreement, such Excess Quantity, in ▇▇▇▇’▇ discretion, will not be required to be paid for by ▇▇▇▇ under this Agreement or the Monetization Master Agreement, as applicable, notwithstanding being held at an Included Title Location or not be financed as Included Feedstock Lien Inventory (as defined in the Financing Agreement) or Included Product Lien Inventory (as defined in the Financing Agreement) under the Financing Agreement, as applicable.

​

quantity of Refinery Procured Product Barrels, the applicable Transaction Party shall notify ▇▇▇▇ of the quantity, grade and delivery terms of such Refinery Procured Product Barrels expected to be delivered to the Included Product Title Location or such other location designated by such Transaction Party during such Delivery Month and, provided no Default (of which ▇▇▇▇ has provided notice to the Transaction Parties) or Event of Default with respect to the Transaction Parties has occurred and is then continuing, the applicable Transaction Party and ▇▇▇▇ shall enter into an Included Purchase Transaction, evidenced by a written confirmation, under which ▇▇▇▇ shall purchase such quantity from such Transaction Party when it passes the applicable Products Intake Point. If any change occurs in the quantity, grade or delivery terms of the Refinery Procured Product Barrels that the Company expects to procure for delivery during such Delivery Month, the Company shall promptly advise ▇▇▇▇ of such change and the related Included Purchase Transaction shall be modified accordingly. With respect to any confirmation issued by ▇▇▇▇ to the Company or any other Transaction Party in connection with such Included Purchase Transaction with such Transaction Party, if ▇▇▇▇ does not receive from such Transaction Party either acceptance or notification of a bona fide error within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such confirmation, then such Transaction Party shall be deemed to have accepted such confirmation, and such confirmation shall be effective and binding upon the Parties.

(ii)In the event that any Transaction Party enters into a Refinery Product Contract, but does not enter into a related Included Purchase Transaction pursuant to a trade ticket as contemplated under Section 7.1(c)(i) above, and the Products procured under such Refinery Product Contract are delivered to the Included Product Title Location or such other location designated by the applicable Transaction Party (“Other Product Barrels”), then such Other Product Barrels shall be deemed sold to and purchased by ▇▇▇▇ as and when they pass the applicable Products Intake Point at a value per Barrel equal to the sum of the then current Index Amount applicable to such Product plus the then current Product Price, in each case, at such time; provided that prior to the delivery of any Other Product Barrels hereunder, the Parties shall establish reasonable procedures and mechanisms for determining and reporting specific volumes of such Other Product Barrels. With respect to any Other Product Barrels that any Transaction Party expects to deliver to the Included Product Title Locations, the Company shall give ▇▇▇▇ written notice of such expected delivery at least ten (10) Business Days preceding the expected delivery month for such Other Product Barrels and in such notice the Company shall provide to ▇▇▇▇ the quantity, grade and delivery terms of such Other Product Barrels expected to be delivered.

8.1 Ancillary Costs. For the purposes hereof:

(a)From time to time, ▇▇▇▇ may estimate Ancillary Costs it expects to incur with respect to each day occurring during any month. As provided in Section 8.1 of the Monetization Master Agreement, ▇▇▇▇ shall include such daily estimate of Ancillary Costs in the determination of the Interim Payments due with respect to each day in such month.

(b)The Parties agree that, to the maximum extent reasonably practicable, the Transaction Parties shall pay directly any item that would constitute an Ancillary Cost.

(c)Without limiting the foregoing, the Company agrees to reimburse ▇▇▇▇ for all Ancillary Costs incurred by ▇▇▇▇. Such reimbursement shall occur from time to time

​

19

4124-3044-3341.21

​

upon demand of ▇▇▇▇ to the Company. When making such demand, ▇▇▇▇ shall promptly provide the Company with copies of any relevant trade tickets, invoices or other supporting documentation for Ancillary Costs incurred by ▇▇▇▇.

(d)To the extent the Transaction Parties have not paid or reimbursed ▇▇▇▇ for any Ancillary Costs then outstanding and payable with respect to any month, or if any adjustments or refunds have occurred with respect to any Ancillary Costs previously paid or reimbursed, ▇▇▇▇ may include in the Monthly True-Up Amount for such month as a separate line item on the applicable Monthly True-Up Amount invoice an amount to compensate the applicable Party for such items. All refunds or adjustments of any type received by ▇▇▇▇ related to any Ancillary Costs shall be reflected in the Monthly True-Up Amount as provided in Section 8.2 of the Monetization Master Agreement.

(e)From time to time upon the reasonable request of either Party, the Parties shall consult to assess whether (i) Ancillary Costs actually being incurred are consistent with the expectations of the Parties and the terms of this Agreement, (ii) procedures for paying, handling or otherwise dealing with Ancillary Costs can be improved or should be modified, (iii) documentation relating to substantiation of Ancillary Costs is sufficient and (iv) in any other respect the processing of Ancillary Costs hereunder can be improved or modified.

8.2 Disposition Following Force Majeure.

(a)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if ▇▇▇▇ determines in its commercially reasonable judgment or is required, due to an event of Force Majeure affecting either Party, to sell to any unrelated third parties, in arm’s length transactions, any quantities of (i) Feedstock that, based on the then current Monthly Feedstock Forecast, ▇▇▇▇ would reasonably have expected to have delivered to a Transaction Party but that ▇▇▇▇ is unable to deliver to such Transaction Party as a result due to such event of Force Majeure or (ii) Products that, based on the then current Monthly Product Estimate, ▇▇▇▇ would reasonably have expected to have delivered to a Transaction Party but that ▇▇▇▇ is unable to deliver to such Transaction Party as a result of such event of Force Majeure (any quantity of Feedstock or Products so disposed of by ▇▇▇▇, as applicable, being referred to as a “Disposed Quantity”), then the Transaction Parties shall be obligated to pay to ▇▇▇▇ an amount equal to the difference between the purchase value at which such Disposed Quantity would have been sold to such Transaction Party, minus the amount realized in the sale to a third party (the “Disposition Amount”); provided, however, that (i) prior to ▇▇▇▇ making any such disposition and provided that no Event of Default with respect to a Transaction Party has occurred and is continuing, the Transaction Parties shall have a period equal to the lesser of (x) ten (10) Business Days from the occurrence of such Force Majeure event and (y) the remaining time period before an event of default would occur under the contracts relevant to the Disposed Quantity as a result of such Force Majeure event, in which to arrange the disposition of such Disposed Quantity on ▇▇▇▇’▇ behalf on commercially reasonable terms and conditions, in the case of Products, pursuant to the Marketing and Sales Agreement and

(ii) the aggregate amount of any such Disposed Quantity sold as a result of any event or series of related events of Force Majeure shall bear a reasonable and proportionate

​

20

4124-3044-3341.21

​

relationship to the aggregate amount of Feedstock or Products, as applicable, that the Company would have been expected to purchase based on, (x) with respect to Feedstock dispositions, the applicable current Monthly Feedstock Forecast and Feedstock Inventory Reports delivered for the period applicable thereto, or (y) with respect to Product dispositions, the applicable current Monthly Product Estimate and Products Inventory Reports delivered for the period applicable thereto, in each case, for the period during which such Transaction Party is unable to take delivery of Feedstock or Product, as applicable, as a result of such event or series of related events of Force Majeure.

(b)In connection with its selling any Disposed Quantity, ▇▇▇▇ shall (i) use commercially reasonably efforts to sell such Disposed Quantity at generally prevailing purchase values, as reasonably determined by ▇▇▇▇ under the circumstances, and

(ii) promptly determine the Disposition Amount and issue to the Transaction Parties an invoice for such amount. The Transaction Parties shall pay to ▇▇▇▇ the invoiced amount no later than the second Business Day after the date of such invoice. If, in connection with the sale of any Disposed Quantity, the Disposition Amount is a negative number, then ▇▇▇▇ shall pay the amount of such excess to the Company no later than the second Business Day after the date of such invoice.

(c)In connection with any disposition by ▇▇▇▇ permitted by this Section 8.2, ▇▇▇▇ will endeavor, in good faith, to consult with the Company regarding, and keep the Company apprised of ▇▇▇▇’▇ negotiations relating to, such disposition, so long as, in ▇▇▇▇’▇ commercially reasonable judgment, doing so does not otherwise interfere with or limit ▇▇▇▇’▇ ability to execute such disposition in accordance with this Section 8.2.

8.3 West Texas Pipeline; West Texas Pipeline Buy/Sell Transactions.

(a)The Transaction Parties acknowledge that West Texas Gulf Pipe Line Company LLC (“WTG”) owns and operates the pipeline as to which it has in effect a tariff filed with FERC (F.E.R.C.

(b)At any time during which the WTG Included Title Location is an Included Title Location, Calumet Refining shall on or prior to the WTG Pipeline Nomination Due Date in respect of any WTG Delivery Month, provide its nominations in writing to ▇▇▇▇ for deliveries of Feedstock on the WTG Included Title Location for such WTG Delivery Month (each such nomination, a “WTG Nomination”); provided, that, the Transaction Parties shall exclude from such nominations all Feedstock that are to be transported by ▇▇▇▇ pursuant to an ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract entered into with a third party with ▇▇▇▇ as shipper on the WTG Included Title Location where the delivery is to ▇▇▇▇ at FOB in line transfer at Colorado City, Texas and Midland, Texas.

(c)With respect to each delivery of Feedstock by Calumet Refining to ▇▇▇▇ into the WTG Included Title Location, then (i) for each WTG Delivery Month, Calumet Refining and ▇▇▇▇ shall automatically be deemed to have entered into a buy/sell transaction (each, a “WTG Pipeline Buy/Sell Transaction”) subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the WTG Pipeline Buy/Sell Confirmation, with the Part A Buyer specified in the WTG Pipeline Buy/Sell Confirmation buying such delivery of Feedstock for such day from the Part A Seller specified in the WTG Pipeline Buy/Sell Confirmation at the Part A Delivery Point specified in the WTG Pipeline Buy/Sell Confirmation (the “WTG Feedstock Buy Leg”) and the Part B Seller shall be deemed to have sold to the Part B Buyer an equal quantity for such day and quality of Feedstock to the Part B Buyer specified in the WTG Pipeline Buy/Sell Confirmation at the Part B Delivery Point (the “WTG Feedstock Sell Leg”), (ii) under the WTG Feedstock Buy Leg of each WTG Pipeline Buy/Sell Transaction, the Part A Seller specified in the WTG Buy/Sell Confirmation shall sell to the Part A Buyer specified in the WTG Pipeline Buy/Sell Confirmation the quantity of Feedstock for such day with transfer of title and risk of loss all occurring as set forth under the heading “Part A Title Risk and Loss” in the WTG Pipeline Buy/Sell Confirmation, and (iii) under the WTG Feedstock Sell Leg of such WTG Pipeline Buy/Sell Transaction, the Part B Seller specified in the WTG Pipeline Buy/Sell Confirmation shall be deemed to have sold to the Part B Buyer specified in the WTG Pipeline Buy/Sell Confirmation Feedstock in a quantity equal to, and of a grade and quality at least equivalent to, that of the Feedstock purchased by the Part A Buyer for such day specified in the WTG Pipeline Buy/Sell Confirmation under the WTG Feedstock Buy Leg of such WTG Buy/Sell Transaction, with transfer of title and risk of loss occurring as set forth under the heading “Part B Title Risk and Loss” in the WTG Pipeline Buy/Sell Confirmation.

​

22

4124-3044-3341.21

FORCE MAJEURE

10.1Performance during Force Majeure. If a Party is rendered unable by an event of Force Majeure to perform in whole or in part any obligation or condition of this Agreement, the Inventory Sales Agreement or the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement (the “Affected Party”), it

​

24

4124-3044-3341.21

​

shall not be liable to the other Party to perform such obligation or condition (except for payment and indemnification obligations) for so long as the event of Force Majeure exists and to the extent that performance is prevented or materially hindered by such event of Force Majeure; provided, however, that the Affected Party shall use any commercially reasonable efforts to avoid, remove or mitigate the event of Force Majeure. During the period that performance by the Affected Party of a part or whole of its obligations has been suspended by reason of an event of Force Majeure, the other Party (the “Non-Affected Party”) likewise may suspend the performance of all or a part of its obligations to the extent that such suspension is commercially reasonable, except for any payment and indemnification obligations (including any payment obligations in respect of any fees or charges owing to the Affected Party). The Parties acknowledge that if, as a result of a Force Majeure, any of the Transaction Parties were to suspend its receipt and/or processing of Feedstock, then ▇▇▇▇ would be entitled to suspend, to a comparable extent, its purchasing of Products.

10.2Notice of Force Majeure. The Affected Party shall give prompt notice (whether written or oral) to the Non-Affected Party of its declaration of an event of Force Majeure, to be followed by written notice within twenty-four (24) hours after receiving any oral notice of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event, including, to the extent feasible, the details and the expected duration of the Force Majeure event and the volume of Feedstock or Products affected. The Affected Party also shall promptly notify the Non-Affected Party when the event of Force Majeure is terminated. However, the failure or inability of the Affected Party to provide such notice within the time periods specified above shall not preclude it from declaring an event of Force Majeure.

10.3Force Majeure Termination/Curtailment. In the event the Affected Party’s performance is suspended due to an event of Force Majeure in excess of thirty (30) consecutive days after the date that notice of such event is given, and so long as such event is continuing, the Non-Affected Party, in its sole discretion, may terminate or curtail its corresponding obligations under this Agreement, the Inventory Sales Agreement or the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement, in each case, which are applicably affected by such event of Force Majeure (the “Affected Obligations”) by giving notice of such termination or curtailment to the Affected Party, and neither Party shall have any further liability to the other in respect of such Affected Obligations to the extent terminated or curtailed, except for the rights and remedies previously accrued under the Transaction Documents, any payment and indemnification obligations by either Party under the Transaction Documents and the obligations set forth in Article 13. Without limiting any rights of any Non-Affected Party under this Article 10, the parties agree that following notice of an event of Force Majeure, they will consult in good faith to assess potential actions or steps with respect thereto.

10.4Resumption of Performance. If any Affected Obligation is not terminated pursuant to this Article 10 or any other provision of the Transaction Documents, performance shall resume to the extent made possible by the end or amelioration of the event of Force Majeure in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents; provided, however, that the Term shall not be extended as a result of any event of Force Majeure.

10.5Third Party Issues. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the right of ▇▇▇▇ to declare a Force Majeure based upon any failure by (a) a Third Party Supplier to deliver

​

25

4124-3044-3341.21

​

Feedstock under an ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract, (b) a Product Supplier to deliver Products under an Included Purchase Transaction or (c) a third party to purchase Products under an Included Sales Transaction, in each case, is solely for purposes of determining the respective rights and obligations as between ▇▇▇▇ and the applicable Transaction Party with respect to any Feedstock or Products delivery affected thereby, and any such declaration shall not excuse the default of such Third Party Supplier, Product Supplier or such other third party under one or more ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts, Included Purchase Transactions or Included Sales Transactions; provided that, in no event shall ▇▇▇▇ be obligated to take any actions to obtain or secure any replacement Feedstock or Products due to the failure by any third party to deliver any Feedstock or Products under an ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract, an Included Purchase Transaction, any Included Sales Transaction or any other transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Any claims that ▇▇▇▇ may have as a result of such Person’s failure shall be subject to Section 4.8 and any other applicable provisions of the Transaction Documents relating to claims against third parties.

10.6Alternative/Replacement Storage Arrangements. If at any time during the Term any of the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements cease to be in effect (in whole or in part) or any of the applicable Included Title Locations cease, in whole or in part, to be available to ▇▇▇▇ pursuant to the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements, and the foregoing is a result of or attributable to any owner or operator of such Included Title Locations becoming Bankrupt or breaching or defaulting in any of its obligations relating to the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements, then:

(a)The Transaction Parties shall promptly use commercially reasonable efforts to establish for ▇▇▇▇’▇ benefit alternative and/or replacement storage and transportation arrangements no less favorable to ▇▇▇▇ (in ▇▇▇▇’▇ reasonable judgment) than those that have ceased to be available;

(b)Until such alternative and/or replacement arrangements complying with clause (a) above have been established, each Party shall be deemed to have been affected by an event of Force Majeure and its obligations under the Transaction Documents shall be curtailed to the extent such performance is prevented or materially hindered by such lack of effectiveness of any Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements or the availability of any pipeline or storage facility related thereto; and

(c)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall ▇▇▇▇ have any obligation under or in connection with the Transaction Documents to store Feedstock or Product in any pipeline or store Feedstock or Product in any storage facility at any time from and after the owner or operator thereof becoming Bankrupt. If any such storage facility is an Included Title Location then ▇▇▇▇ may, in its discretion, elect upon written notice to the applicable Transaction Party that such storage facility shall cease to be an Included Title Location as of a date specified in such written notice in which case any Feedstock or Product held by ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be purchased by the applicable Transaction Party in accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of the Monetization Master Agreement.

​

The occurrence of any Event of Default or ▇▇▇▇ EoD set forth in Section 16.1 of the Monetization Master Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, shall constitute an Event of Default or ▇▇▇▇ EoD, as applicable, under this Agreement and the Commodity Forward Agreement.

12.2 Remedies Upon Event of Default.

(a)Any exercise of remedies upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default or ▇▇▇▇ EoD may be exercised in accordance with the terms of Section 16.2 of the Monetization Master Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, or, at the election of the Non-Defaulting Party, pursuant to this Article 12, in the event the Non-Defaulting Party declares all obligations under the Supply and Offtake Agreement, the Inventory Sales Agreement, the Commodity Forward Agreement and, if in effect, the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement (collectively, the “Safe Harbor Agreements”) to be due and payable separately from the other Transaction Documents.

(b)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Event of Default, on the one hand, or any ▇▇▇▇ EoD, on the other hand has occurred and is continuing, the Non-Defaulting Party may, without notice, and in addition to any other remedies that may be available to such Non-Defaulting Party under any other Transaction Document, (i) declare all of the Defaulting Party’s obligations under the Commodity Forward Agreement and/or the other Safe Harbor Agreements (including, if ▇▇▇▇ is the Non-Defaulting Party, the S&O Make-Whole Amount) to be forthwith due and payable, all without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Defaulting Party, and/or (ii) subject to Section 12.2(d), exercise any rights and remedies provided or available to the Non-Defaulting Party under the Commodity Forward Agreement and/or any other Safe Harbor Agreement, or at law or in equity, including all remedies provided under the Uniform Commercial Code and as provided under this Section 12.2; provided, however, that (1) if an Event of Default pursuant to Section 16.1(a)(iv) of the Monetization Master Agreement or ▇▇▇▇ EoD pursuant to Section 16.1(b)(iv) of the Monetization Master Agreement has occurred and is continuing, the obligations of the Non-Defaulting Party to make any purchases or sales of Feedstock or Products or otherwise consummate any transactions contemplated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall automatically terminate, (2) upon determination of the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount pursuant to this Section 12.2, any such Commodity Forward Settlement Amount shall immediately become due and payable by the Defaulting Party or the Non-Defaulting Party (as applicable) in accordance with this Section 12.2, and (3) upon determination of the S&O Settlement Amount pursuant to this Section 12.2, any such S&O Settlement Amount shall automatically become immediately due and payable without any notice to the Defaulting Party or any further act of the Non-Defaulting Party.

(c)In addition to the rights and remedies described in Sections 12.2(a) and (b) above, if an Event of Default or ▇▇▇▇ EoD has occurred and is continuing, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to such Non-Defaulting Party under any other Transaction Document, the Non-Defaulting Party shall have the right, immediately and at

​

4124-3044-3341.21

​

any time(s) thereafter, to terminate the Commodity Forward Agreement and any other Safe Harbor Agreements (any such date of termination, the “S&O Early Termination Date”) and, subject to Section 12.2(d), to liquidate and terminate any or all rights and obligations under the Safe Harbor Agreements; provided that, in the event ▇▇▇▇ is the Non-Defaulting Party, the Safe Harbor Agreements shall not be deemed to have terminated in full until ▇▇▇▇ shall have disposed of all Feedstock and Products owned or maintained by Aron in connection herewith and therewith.

(d)In the event that an S&O Early Termination Date or Early Termination Date that is applicable to this Agreement has been declared by the Non-Defaulting Party, then on or as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of such date, the Non-Defaulting Party shall calculate the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount and the S&O Settlement Amount, acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, and will provide to the Defaulting Party a statement (i) showing, in reasonable detail, such calculations, (ii) specifying any Commodity Forward Settlement Amount and any S&O Settlement Amount payable and (iii) giving details of the relevant account to which any amount payable is to be paid.

(e) The “S&O Settlement Amount” shall mean (A) the amount, expressed in

U.S. Dollars, of losses and costs that are or would be incurred by the Non-Defaulting Party (expressed as a positive number) or gains that are or would be realized by the Non-Defaulting Party (expressed as a negative number) as a result of the liquidation and termination of all rights and obligations under the Safe Harbor Agreements other than the rights and obligations arising under the Commodity Forward Agreement, plus (B), at the election of the Non-Defaulting Party, the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount. In determining the S&O Settlement Amount, the Non-Defaulting Party shall be entitled to take into account without duplication: (i) the losses and costs (or gains) incurred or realized by the Non-Defaulting Party in terminating, transferring, redeploying or otherwise modifying any outstanding Procurement Contracts, (ii) the losses and costs (or gains) incurred or realized by the Non-Defaulting Party in terminating and liquidating any transactions evidenced by confirmations subject hereto, (iii) all losses and costs (or gains) incurred or realized by the Non-Defaulting Party, as a result of the Non-Defaulting Party’s terminating, liquidating, maintaining, obtaining or reestablishing any Related ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (including, if ▇▇▇▇ is the Non-Defaulting Party, all hedging transactions relating to the Monthly Market Structure Roll Pass-Through), , (iv) to the extent not included in clauses (i) through (iii) above, any fees, charges or Ancillary Costs incurred or accrued and not yet paid to the Parties under the Safe Harbor Agreements (whether or not previously invoiced) and (v) in the event that ▇▇▇▇ is the Non-Defaulting Party, any S&O Make-Whole Amount; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the “S&O Settlement Amount” calculated hereunder shall not include any amounts owed by the Transaction Parties to ▇▇▇▇ under any Transaction Documents in respect of any amounts owed under the Financing Agreement (including without limitation the Financing Settlement Amount). In the event that the S&O Settlement Amount is a positive number, it shall be due to the Non-Defaulting Party, and if it is a negative number, the absolute value thereof shall be due to the Defaulting Party. All of the foregoing amounts shall be aggregated or netted to a single liquidated amount owing from one Party to the other, and shall be due one (1) Business Day after the statement contemplated by Section 12.2(d) is provided by

​

4124-3044-3341.21

​

the Non-Defaulting Party to the Defaulting Party; provided further that if the Non-Defaulting Party elects that the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount shall not be included in the determination of the S&O Settlement Amount, the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount and the S&O Settlement Amount shall each become due one

(1) Business Day after the statement contemplated by Section 12.2(d) is provided by the Non-Defaulting Party to the Defaulting Party. The “Commodity Forward Settlement Amount” shall mean the amount, expressed in U.S. Dollars, of losses and costs that are or would be incurred by the Non-Defaulting Party (expressed as a positive number) or gains that are or would be realized by the Non-Defaulting Party (expressed as a negative number) as a result of the liquidation and termination of all rights and obligations (assuming the satisfaction of the condition precedent in Section 12.2(f)(ii) below) under the Commodity Forward Transactions, including (without duplication), all losses and costs (or gains) incurred or realized by the Non-Defaulting Party as a result of the Non-Defaulting Party’s terminating, liquidating, maintaining, obtaining or reestablishing any Related ▇▇▇▇▇▇. For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Commodity Forward Transaction” means any transaction entered into between ▇▇▇▇ and the Transaction Parties (on a joint and several basis in accordance with Article 23 hereof) under this Agreement that is a forward agreement within the meaning of §101(53)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(f)▇▇▇▇ and each Transaction Party (on a joint and several basis in accordance with Article 23 hereof) agree that:

(i)each Commodity Forward Transaction, the rights and obligations thereunder, and the provisions set-out in this Agreement relating to the termination of those Commodity Forward Transactions upon an Event of Default or ▇▇▇▇ EoD and the determination and payment of the resulting Commodity Forward Settlement Amount shall be deemed to form a separate single agreement between ▇▇▇▇ and each Transaction Party (on a joint and several basis and on the same terms as set out in Article 23 hereof) (the “Commodity Forward Agreement”), and without such agreement each such party would not otherwise enter into any Commodity Forward Transaction; and

(ii)each obligation of each party under a Commodity Forward Transaction is subject to the condition precedent that no Event of Default pursuant to Section 16.1(a)(iv) or ▇▇▇▇ EoD pursuant to Section 16.1(b)(iv) of the Monetization Master Agreement has occurred and is continuing.

(g)The Non-Defaulting Party shall determine the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount and the S&O Settlement Amount commencing as of the S&O Early Termination Date or the Early Termination Date, as applicable, based on, among other things, such futures, forward, swap and options markets as it shall select in its commercially reasonable judgment; provided that the Non-Defaulting Party is not required to effect such terminations and/or determine the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount and/or the S&O Settlement Amount on a single day, but rather may effect such terminations and determine the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount and/or the S&O Settlement Amount over a commercially reasonable period of time. To the extent (i) the

​

31

4124-3044-3341.21

​

Fee Letter provides for the calculation of any amount to be included in the S&O Settlement Amount, the provisions of the Fee Letter shall be controlling for such purpose and (ii) the Non-Defaulting Party deems it commercially reasonable to do so, it may in referencing purchase values in the futures, forward, swap and options markets for purposes of calculating various elements of the S&O Settlement Amount endeavor to align the date as of which such reference purchase values are determined.

(h)In addition, the Parties acknowledge that, in connection with an Event of Default or an ▇▇▇▇ EoD, the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement (to the extent then in effect) may be terminated by the Non-Defaulting Party.

(i)Default Interest Rate for S&O Settlement Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount and/or the S&O Settlement Amount is owing to the Non-Defaulting Party and is not paid when due, such overdue amount shall accrue interest at the Default Interest Rate (for amounts owing to ▇▇▇▇ and when ▇▇▇▇ is the Non-Defaulting Party) or the ▇▇▇▇ Default Interest Rate (for amounts owing to a Transaction Party and when such Transaction Party is the Non-Defaulting Party) until such amount shall have been paid in full to the Non-Defaulting Party.

12.3 S&O Make-Whole Amount.

(a)In the event an Early Termination Date that is applicable to this Agreement has been established pursuant to Section 16.2(b) of the Monetization Master Agreement, or an S&O Early Termination Date has been established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and ▇▇▇▇ is the Non-Defaulting Party or an Early Expiration Date occurs pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Monetization Master Agreement, then, as part of its calculation of the S&O Settlement Amount, ▇▇▇▇ shall calculate the S&O Make-Whole Amount acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner in accordance with this Section 12.3. The “S&O Make-Whole Amount” shall mean the amount, expressed in U.S. Dollars, and in each case determined for the period from the S&O Early Termination Date, or Early Termination Date or Early Expiration Date, as applicable, through the end of the Term (assuming that no Event of Default or ▇▇▇▇ EoD or Early Expiration would occur) equal to the aggregate amount of fees under the Transaction Documents and, without duplication, the aggregate amount of fees as of the S&O Early Termination Date, or Early Termination Date or Early Expiration Date, as applicable, under the Fee Letter that would have been paid to ▇▇▇▇ during such period and determined by ▇▇▇▇ based on the product of (i) the Applicable Spread multiplied by

(ii) the greater of (x) the aggregate sum for all Product Groups, the product of (A) the historical average funded volumes for each Product Group over the 90-day period prior to the S&O Early Termination Date, or Early Termination Date or Early Expiration Date, as applicable, (or, if such date of calculation is less than ninety (90) days after the Commencement Date, the period from the Commencement Date to such date of calculation) multiplied by (B) the sum of (I) the product of (a) the current forward curve and the value per Barrel equal to the sum of the applicable Index Amounts applicable to such Product Group plus the then current Price applicable to such Product Group as of the date of determination of the S&O Make-Whole Amount, multiplied by (b) the Inventory Advance Rate for such Product Group, in the case of clauses (a) and (b), as

​

32

4124-3044-3341.21

​

determined in accordance with Schedule B to the Monetization Master Agreement, plus

(II) the Fixed Holdback and (y) the Minimum Notional Value.

(b)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and without duplication of the obligations under Section 16.2 of the Monetization Master Agreement and Section 10.3 of the Financing Agreement, in the event the Secured Obligations under this Agreement are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their maturity date, in each case, in respect of any Event of Default (including, but not limited to, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default arising under Section 16.1(a)(iv) of the Monetization Master Agreement), (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law), the S&O Make-Whole Amount applicable on the date of such acceleration, termination and determination of the S&O Settlement Amount will also be due and payable as though this Agreement were subject to an Early Expiration and shall constitute part of the Secured Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the Parties as to a reasonable calculation of ▇▇▇▇’▇ lost profits as a result thereof. The S&O Make-Whole Amount shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by ▇▇▇▇ as the result of the early termination of this Agreement and the other Safe Harbor Agreements and each Transaction Party agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The S&O Make-Whole Amount shall also be payable in the event the Secured Obligations that exist under this Agreement and the other Safe Harbor Agreements are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding, deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means). EACH TRANSACTION PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE S&O MAKE-WHOLE AMOUNT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION, TERMINATION OR DETERMINATION OF THE

S&O SETTLEMENT AMOUNT. Each Transaction Party expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the S&O Make-Whole Amount is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the S&O Make-Whole Amount shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct among the Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the S&O Make-Whole Amount; and (D) each Transaction Party shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Each Transaction Party expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the S&O Make-Whole Amount to ▇▇▇▇ as herein described is a material inducement to ▇▇▇▇ to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

12.4LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. EACH OF THE S&O SETTLEMENT AMOUNT AND THE COMMODITY FORWARD SETTLEMENT AMOUNT IS DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AND THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT SUCH DAMAGES ARE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE AND THAT EACH OF THE S&O SETTLEMENT AMOUNT  AND  THE  COMMODITY  FORWARD  SETTLEMENT  AMOUNT  IS

​

33

4124-3044-3341.21

​

INTENDED TO BE A REASONABLE APPROXIMATION OF THE AMOUNT OF SUCH DAMAGES AND NOT A PENALTY.

12.5 Master Netting Agreement; Additional Rights and Remedies.

(a)The Parties acknowledge and agree that each Party intends to be a “master netting agreement participant” and for the Safe Harbor Agreements to constitute and to be deemed to be a “master netting agreement” for all purposes as each such term is defined in section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code and as used in Section 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b)In the event any Party becomes Bankrupt, and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Party intends that (i) Non-Defaulting Party’s right to liquidate, collect, net and set off rights and obligations under the Safe Harbor Agreements, and liquidate and terminate the Safe Harbor Agreements shall not be stayed, avoided, or otherwise limited by the Bankruptcy Code, including sections 362(a), 547, 548 or 553 thereof; (ii) the Non-Defaulting Party shall be entitled to the rights, remedies and protections afforded by and under, among other sections, sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 362(b)(27), 546(e), 546(g), 546(j), 548(d), 553, 556, 560, 561 and 562 of the Bankruptcy

Code; and (iii) any cash, securities, Feedstock, Products or other property provided as performance assurance, credit support or collateral with respect to or otherwise transferred under or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute “margin payments” as defined in section 101(38) of the Bankruptcy Code and all payments for, under or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, shall constitute “settlement payments” as defined in section 101(51A) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(c)The Non-Defaulting Party’s rights under this Article 12 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or exclusion of, any other rights which the Non-Defaulting Party may have (whether by agreement, operation of law or otherwise), including (x) any other rights that such Non-Defaulting Party may have under the other Transaction Documents and (y) any rights of recoupment, setoff, combination of accounts or other rights under any credit support that may from time to time be provided in connection with the Transaction Documents; provided that, in no event shall any Party be entitled to recover amounts owed to it in respect of any Secured Obligations under the Safe Harbor Agreements if it has also recovered such amounts in respect of such Secured Obligations under the Monetization Master Agreement. The Defaulting Party shall indemnify and hold the Non-Defaulting Party harmless from all reasonable and documented costs and expenses, including reasonable and documented attorney fees, incurred in the exercise of any remedies hereunder.

12.6 U.S. Resolution Stay Provisions.

(a) Recognition of U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(i)In the event that ▇▇▇▇ becomes subject to a proceeding under (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder or

(ii) Title II of the ▇▇▇▇-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act

​

34

4124-3044-3341.21

and the regulations promulgated thereunder (a “U.S. Special Resolution Regime”) the transfer from Aron of this Agreement, the Inventory Sales Agreement and the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement, the Inventory Sales Agreement or the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Safe Harbor Agreements, and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, the Safe Harbor Agreements were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(ii) In the event that Aron or an Affiliate becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, any Default Rights (as defined in 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable (“Default Right”)) under any Safe Harbor Agreement that may be exercised against Aron are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if a Safe Harbor Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)Limitation on Exercise of Certain Default Rights Related to an Affiliate’s Entry into Insolvency Proceedings. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that:

(i)In the event that Aron or an Affiliate becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, no Transaction Party shall be permitted to exercise any Default Right with respect to a Safe Harbor Agreement or any Credit Enhancement, in each case, that is related, directly or indirectly, to an Affiliate of Aron becoming subject to any Adverse Proceeding, except to the extent that the exercise of such Default Right would be permitted under the provisions of 12 C.F.R. 252.84, 12 C.F.R. 47.5 or 12 C.F.R. 382.4, as applicable; and

(ii)In the event that Aron or an Affiliate becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, nothing in any Safe Harbor Agreement shall prohibit the transfer of any Affiliate Credit Enhancement, any interest or obligation in or under such Affiliate Credit Enhancement, or any property securing such Affiliate Credit Enhancement, to a transferee upon or following an Affiliate of Aron becoming subject to an Adverse Proceeding, unless the transfer would result in a Transaction Party being the beneficiary of such Affiliate Credit Enhancement in violation of any law applicable to such Transaction Party.

(c)U.S. Protocol. If the Transaction Parties adhere to the ISDA 2018 U.S. Resolution Stay Protocol, as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. as of July 31, 2018 (the “ISDA U.S. Protocol”), after the Commencement Date, the terms of the ISDA U.S. Protocol will supersede and replace the terms of this Section 12.6.
