(a) Before the Contract Cutoff Date in any Nomination Month, the Company shall provide Xxxx with a written forecast of the Refinery’s anticipated Crude Oil requirements for the related Delivery Month (each, a “Monthly Crude Forecast”).

(b) [Reserved.]

(c) The Company shall promptly notify Xxxx in writing upon learning of any material change in any Monthly Crude Forecast or if it is necessary to delay any previously scheduled pipeline nominations.

(d) The Parties acknowledge that the Company is solely responsible for providing the Monthly Crude Forecast and for making any adjustments thereto, and the Company agrees that all such forecasts and projections shall be prepared in good faith, with due regard to all available and reliable historical information and the Company’s then-current business prospects, and in accordance with such standards of care as are generally applicable in the U.S. oil refining industry.

In connection with such novated Procurement Contracts, the parties acknowledge that, concurrently with the effectiveness of such novations, Xxxx and XXXX entered into transactions identical to the novated Procurement Contracts (the “Back-to-Back Contracts”), except with Xxxx as seller thereunder and certain other modifications as specified in a letter agreement between Xxxx and XXXX, dated April 27, 2011. The parties further acknowledge and agree that, as a result of such novated Procurement Contracts, the

Back-to-Back Contracts and the terms of the XXXX Inventory Sales Agreement, (i) from and after the effectiveness of such novations to the Inventory Measurement Time under the XXXX Inventory Sales Agreement, all Crude Oil delivered under the novated Procurement Contracts and the Back-to-Back Contracts shall have been or shall be transferred from the relevant Third Party Supplier to Xxxx and then from Xxxx to XXXX and (ii) from and after the Inventory Transfer Time under the XXXX Inventory Sales Agreement to the Inventory Measurement Time under the XXXX Inventory Sales Agreement, all such Crude Oil that is held or received at any of the Inventory Transfer Locations shall be transferred by XXXX to Xxxx under and in accordance with the terms of the XXXX Inventory Sales Agreement.

If Xxxx indicates its consent to accept such offer, then Xxxx shall promptly endeavor to formally communicate its acceptance of such offer to the Company and such Third Party Supplier so that the Third Party Supplier and Xxxx may enter into a binding additional Procurement Contract (and if relevant, Procurement Contract Assignment) provided that any additional Procurement Contract (and, if relevant, related Procurement Contract Assignment) shall require Aron’s express agreement and Xxxx shall not have any liability under or in connection with this Agreement if for any reason it, acting in good faith, does not agree to any proposed additional Procurement Contract or related Procurement Contract Assignment.

(c) If the Company determines, in its reasonable judgment, that it is commercially beneficial for the Refinery to run a particular grade and/or volume of Crude Oil that is available from a Third Party Supplier that is not a counterparty with which Xxxx is then prepared to enter into a contract, then the Company may execute a Refinery Procurement Contract to acquire such Crude Oil for the Company’s account and, unless an Xxxx Procurement Contract is executed with respect thereto pursuant to Section 5.3(g), such Crude Oil if delivered to a Crude Intake Point shall constitute Other Barrels.

(d) Title for each quantity of Crude Oil to be delivered into a Crude Storage Tank shall pass to Xxxx, (i) if delivered under a Procurement Contract with a Third Party Supplier,

from such Third Party Supplier as provided in the relevant Procurement Contract, (ii) if delivered under a Procurement Contract with the Company or XXXX, from the Company or XXXX as provided in the relevant Procurement Contract and (iii) if not delivered under a Procurement Contract (and whether such delivery is via an Included Crude Pipeline or another crude pipeline), from the Company as the Crude Oil passes the Crude Intake Point.

(e) For each quantity of Crude Oil to be delivered directly into a Specified Lien Location, (i) if delivery occurs under a Procurement Contract with a Third Party Supplier, title shall pass on a simultaneous flash title basis so that, at the relevant delivery point under such Procurement Contract, at the moment in time when title and risk of loss to any quantity is transferred by a Third Party Supplier to Xxxx under such Procurement Contract, title and risk of loss to that same quantity will be transferred from Xxxx to the Company, (ii) if delivery occurs under a Procurement Contract with the Company or XXXX, title shall pass on a simultaneous flash title basis so that, at the relevant delivery point under such Procurement Contract, at the moment in time when title and risk of loss to any quantity is transferred by the Company or XXXX to Xxxx under such Procurement Contract, title and risk of loss to that same quantity will be transferred from Xxxx to the Company and (iii) if such Crude Oil consists of Other Barrels, then title and risk of loss shall either pass at the relevant point at which delivery is made by XXXX to the Company if XXXX is delivering such Crude Oil or continue to be held by the Company if the Company is delivering such Crude Oil.

(f) The Parties acknowledge that the consideration due from Xxxx to the Company for any Crude Oil that is not delivered under a Procurement Contract will be reflected in the Monthly True-Up Amounts determined following delivery and in accordance with Schedule C.

(g) No later than the fifth (5^th) Business Day of the month preceding a Delivery Month, the Company shall inform Xxxx whether the Company has purchased or intends to purchase any Crude Oil that is being procured under a Refinery Procurement Contract for delivery during such Delivery Month (“Refinery Procured Barrels”). In connection with each such quantity of Refinery Procured Barrels, the Company may provide to Xxxx a trade ticket stating the quantity, grade and delivery terms of such Refinery Procured Barrels expected to be delivered to an Included Location or Specified Lien Location during such Delivery Month and, provided no Default (of which Xxxx has provided notice to the Company) or Event of Default with respect to the Company has occurred and is then continuing, the Company and Xxxx shall enter into an Xxxx Procurement Contract under which Xxxx shall purchase such quantity from the Company and title shall pass as provided in Section 5.3(d) or (e) above as applicable and Xxxx shall promptly provide to the Company a written confirmation of such Xxxx Procurement Contract. If any change occurs in the quantity, grade or delivery terms of the Refinery Procured Barrels that the Company expects to procure for delivery during such Delivery Month, the Company shall promptly advise Xxxx of such change and the related Xxxx Procurement Contract shall be modified accordingly. With respect to any confirmation issued by Xxxx to the Company in connection with an Xxxx Procurement Contract with the Company, if Xxxx does not receive from the Company either acceptance or notification of a bona fide error within two (2) Business Days

after receipt of such confirmation, then the Company shall be deemed to have accepted such confirmation, and such confirmation shall be effective and binding upon the Parties.

(h) Unless otherwise agreed by Xxxx (in its discretion), the Company and XXXX covenant and agree that (i) they will use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into Exchange Procurement Contract during any month so as to eliminate any volume imbalance and (ii) the sole purpose and intent of any such Exchange Procurement Contract shall be to, directly or indirectly, procure Crude Oil to be processed at the Refinery.

(i) With respect to all Crude Oil, XXXX covenants and agrees to be the party responsible for making entry of goods into the U.S., meeting the reporting requirements and payment obligations of U.S. Customs for the importation of goods, compliance with all free trade zone bonding, reporting and duty payments, and serving as importer of record in connection herewith.

As set forth in Section 7.2(a), by no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the earliest Contract Cutoff Date occurring in such Nomination Month, the Company shall provide to Xxxx the Projected Monthly Run Volume for the Delivery Month for which deliveries must be nominated prior to such Contract Cutoff Dates. As part of such Projected Monthly Run Volume, the Company may specify the grade of such Projected Monthly Run Volume, provided that such grades and their respective quantities specified by the Company shall fall within the grades and quantities then available to be nominated by Xxxx under the outstanding Procurement Contracts.

(b) Provided that the Company provides Xxxx with the Projected Monthly Run Volume as required under Section 5.4(a), Xxxx shall make all scheduling and other selections and nominations (collectively, “Contract Nominations”) that are to be made under the Procurement Contracts on or before the Contract Cutoff Dates for the Procurement Contracts and such Contract Nominations shall reflect the quantity of each grade specified by the Company in such Projected Monthly Run Volume. Should any Contract Nomination not be accepted by any Third Party Supplier under a Procurement Contract, Xxxx shall promptly advise the Company and use commercially reasonable efforts with the Company and such Third Party Supplier to revise the Contract Nomination subject to the terms of any such Procurement Contract. Xxxx shall provide the Company with confirmation that such Contract Nominations have been made.

(c) Insofar as any pipeline nominations are required to be made by Xxxx for any Crude Oil prior to any applicable Pipeline Cutoff Date for any month, Xxxx shall be responsible for making such pipeline and terminal nominations for that month; provided

that, Aron’s obligation to make such nominations shall be conditioned on its receiving from the Company scheduling instructions for that month a sufficient number of days prior to such Pipeline Cutoff Date so that Xxxx can make such nominations within the lead times required by such pipelines and terminals. Xxxx shall not be responsible if a Pipeline System is unable to accept Aron’s nomination or if the Pipeline System must allocate Crude Oil among its shippers.

(d) The Parties agree that the Company may, from time to time, request that Xxxx make adjustments or modifications to Contract Nominations it has previously made under the Procurement Contracts. Promptly following receipt of any such request, Xxxx will use its commercially reasonable efforts to make such adjustment or modification, subject to any limitations or restrictions under the relevant Procurement Contracts. Any additional cost or expenses incurred as a result of such an adjustment or modification shall constitute an Ancillary Cost hereunder.

(e) Xxxx shall not nominate or to its knowledge otherwise acquire any Crude Oil with characteristics that are not previously approved by the Company for use at the Refinery, such approval to be in the Company’s discretion; provided that any Crude Oil purchased pursuant to a Procurement Contract proposed by the Company shall be deemed to have characteristics approved by the Company for purposes of this clause. The foregoing shall not limit the Company’s rights to pursue any claims against third parties as contemplated by Section 5.9 below.

(f) In addition to the nomination process, Xxxx and the Company shall follow the mutually agreed communications protocol as set forth on Schedule J hereto, with respect to ongoing daily coordination with feedstock suppliers, including purchases or sales of Crude Oil outside of the normal nomination procedures.

6.2 Purchase Value. As the purchase value for the Net Crude Sales Volume for any month, the Company shall owe to Xxxx when due the Monthly Crude Payment determined with respect to that Net Crude Sales Volume, subject to application of the relevant Prices and Index Amounts as provided on Schedule B hereto and calculation of the Monthly Crude Oil True-Up Amount as provided for on Schedule C hereto, and payable as provided in Section 10.2.

6.3 Monthly Crude Payment. For any month, the “Monthly Crude Payment” shall equal, with respect to the Net Crude Sales Volume for such month, the sum of (A) the product of (1) the Monthly Crude Price for that month and (2) the Net Crude Sales Volume for such month (the amount determined in this clause (A) may be a positive or negative number), (B) the Crude Purchase Fee for that month and (C) the Ancillary Costs for that month. If the Monthly Crude Payment is a negative number, then the absolute value thereof shall represent an amount owed from Xxxx to the Company and payable as provided in Section 10.2.

(B) the product of (1) the Pre-Adjustment Level Two Fee per barrel and (2) the greater of (x) zero and (y) the Actual Monthly Crude Run for such month minus the sum of the Reduced Fee Barrels for such month and the Waived Fee Barrels for such month.

(ii) “Reduced Fee Barrels” means, for any month, whichever of the following is the smallest quantity: (i) the Actual Monthly Crude Run for such month minus the Volume Cap for Waived Crude Fee, (ii) the Designated Company-Sourced Barrels for such month minus the Volume Cap for Waived Crude Fee and (iii) the Volume Cap for Reduced Crude Fee for such month; provided that in no event shall the foregoing be less than zero.

(iii) “Actual Monthly Crude Run” means, for any month, the Net Crude Sales Volume for such month plus the aggregate quantity of those Other Barrels that are actually delivered and received at the Crude Storage Tanks during such month.

(iv) “Waived Fee Barrels” means the sum of (i) the lesser of the Designated Company-Sourced Barrels and the Volume Cap for Waived Crude Fee and (ii) the Additional Waived Fee Barrels; provided that, for each 12 consecutive month period commencing on an anniversary of the Adjustment Date or any shorter period commencing on such a date and ending on a Termination Date hereunder (each, a “Waived Fee Barrel Period”), the Waived Fee Barrels due for the final month of such period may be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6.4(a)(v) below.

(v) For each Waived Fee Barrel Period, Xxxx shall determine the number of Waived Fee Barrels for that period (“Total Waived Fee Barrels”) by applying such term and the various components thereof to the entire period (rather to a single month) as if each such term and component referred to such period and not a single month. If, for any Waived Fee Barrel Period, the sum of the Waived Fee Barrels for all months during such period (which for the final month of such period shall be calculated without giving effect to any adjustment under this Section 6.4(a)) exceeds the Total Waived Fee Barrels for such period, then the number of Waived Fee Barrels for the final month of such period used in computing the Crude Purchase Fee for such month shall equal the Waived Fee Barrels for such month (calculated without giving effect to any adjustment under this Section 6.4(a)) minus such excess (it being acknowledged that such number may be a positive or negative amount).

(vi) For each Procurement Contract under which Xxxx is seller, the Parties shall, at or prior the time such Procurement Contract is executed, agree to a per Barrel fee due from the Company to Xxxx in connection with such Procurement Contract, with the product of such per Barrel fee and the quantity delivered by Xxxx under such Procurement Contract shall being a “Crude Sales Fee”.

(ii) “Third Party Barrels” means, for any month, the number of barrels purchased by Xxxx from any Third Party Supplier (other than any Affiliate of the Company).

(iii) “Level One Barrels” means, for any month, the number of Third Party Barrels not in excess of [***] barrels.

(iv) “Level Two Barrels” means, for any month, the number of Third Party Barrels (if any) in excess of the Level One Barrels for such month.

(v) For each Procurement Contract under which Xxxx is seller, the Parties shall, at or prior the time such Procurement Contract is executed, agree to a per Barrel fee due from the Company to Xxxx in connection with such Procurement Contract, with the product of such per Barrel fee and the quantity delivered by Xxxx under such Procurement Contract shall being a “Crude Sales Fee”. For each month, the “Counterparty Crude Sales Fee” shall be the sum of the Crude Sales Fees for all quantities of Crude Oil delivered by Xxxx under Procurement Contracts in which Xxxx is seller.

6.5 Material Crude Grade Changes. If either the Company or Xxxx concludes in its reasonable judgment that the specifications (including specific gravity and sulfur content of the Crude Oil) of the Crude Oil procured, or projected to be procured, differ materially from the grades that have generally been run by the Refinery, then the Company and Xxxx will endeavor in good faith to mutually agree on (i) acceptable indices for such Crude Oil, 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 differences in value between the prior indices and the amended indices.

ARTICLE 7

TARGET INVENTORY LEVELS AND WORKING CAPITAL ADJUSTMENT

7.1 Target Inventory Levels. Xxxx will set monthly inventory targets for Crude Oil and Products. Such monthly inventory targets for Crude Oil and Products shall be subject to (i) the Baseline Volumes and (ii) the sum of Baseline Volumes plus Volumes in Excess of Baseline for each Pricing Group indicated on Schedule D hereto (each sum, a “Maximum Volume”).

7.2 Target Month End Crude Volume.

(a) By no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the earliest Contract Cutoff Date occurring in each Nomination Month, the Company shall notify Xxxx of the aggregate quantity of Crude Oil that the Company expects to run at the Refinery during the subject Delivery Month (the “Projected Monthly Run Volume”).

(b) By no later than the last Business Day of each Nomination Month, Xxxx shall notify the Company of the quantity of Crude Oil that Xxxx is designating as the “Target Month End Crude Volume” for the Delivery Month related to that Nomination Month;

provided that such Target Month End Crude Volume shall not exceed the Maximum Volume or be less than the Baseline Volume for Crude Oil indicated on Schedule D, subject to Section 7.2(c) below.

(c) During the first two months of deliveries of Crude Oil made pursuant to the Original Agreement, Aron’s Target Month End Crude Volume and Target Month End Product Volume were the amounts specified on Schedule I to the Original Agreement.

(d) If, for any month, the Actual Month End Crude Volume exceeds the Maximum Volume or the Actual Month End Crude Volume is less than the Baseline Volume, then Xxxx may change the Target Month End Crude Volume for such month as follows:

(i) If the Actual Month End Crude Volume is above the Target Month End Crude Volume, then Xxxx may increase the Target Month End Crude Volume for such Delivery Month to equal the Actual Month End Crude Volume or (ii) if the Target Month End Crude Volume is above the Actual Month End Crude Volume, then Xxxx may reduce the Target Month End Crude Volume for such Delivery Month to equal the Actual Month End Crude Volume. Xxxx must notify the Company of its intent to make this change within four (4) Business Days after the end of such Delivery Month. The Company may dispute this change within one (1) Business Day after receiving such notification from Xxxx. In all cases described above, the changed Target Month End Crude Volume affects only the subject month and does not impact the calculation of the Target Month End Crude Volume in subsequent months.

(ii) In addition, Xxxx may adjust the Target Month End Crude Volume with the consent of the Company.

In all cases described above, the changed Target Month End Crude Volume affects only the subject month and does not impact the calculation of the Target Month End Crude Volume in subsequent months pursuant to Section 7.2(b).

7.3 Target Month End Product Volume.

(a) The Company shall provide to Xxxx its standard Products inventory and production report substantially in the form of Schedule O hereto (the “MTD Performance Report”).

(b) For each month and each type of Product, Xxxx shall from time to time (but subject to any applicable notification deadlines specified on Schedule D hereto) specify an aggregate quantity and grade that shall be the “Target Month End Product Volume” for that month, which shall represent that volume (which may be zero or a positive number) targeted for that Product (except that the Target Month End Product Volume for each type of Product as of the end of the first month of the Term shall be the respective volumes specified as such on Schedule I hereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Target Month End Product Volume

shall in no event exceed a Maximum Volume or be less than the Baseline Volume for such Product unless Xxxx establishes such a Month End Product Volume as otherwise permitted under this Section 7.3.

(c) Provided that the Company has complied in all material respects with its obligations under the Marketing and Sales Agreement, and subject to events of Force Majeure, facility turnarounds, the performance of any third parties (including purchasers of Products under the Marketing and Sales Agreement), Xxxx will, in establishing each Target Month End Product Volume, cause such Target Month End Product Volume to be within the applicable range specified for such Product on Schedule D hereto.

(d) At any time prior to the beginning of the month to which a Target Month End Product Volume relates (but subject to any applicable notification deadlines specified on Schedule D hereto), Xxxx may change such Target Month End Product Volume.

(e) After Xxxx has established a Target Month End Product Volume, it may change such Target Month End Product Volume if one of the following occurs: (i) the Actual Month End Product Volume is below the minimum of the Operational Volume Range or (ii) the Actual Month End Product Volume is above the maximum of the Operational Volume Range, in which case Xxxx may change its Target Month End Product Volume for such month to equal the Actual Month End Product Volume. Xxxx must notify the Company of its intent to make this change within four (4) Business Days after the end of such Delivery Month. The Company may dispute this change within one (1) Business Day after receiving such notification from Xxxx. In all cases described above, the changed Target Month End Product Volume affects only the subject month and does not impact the calculation of the Target Month End Product Volume in subsequent months.

(f) The Target Month End Product Volume will be adjusted in accordance with the procedure for Excluded Transactions as described in the Marketing and Sales Agreement.

In addition, Xxxx may adjust the Target Month End Product Volume with the consent of the Company.

7.4 Monthly Working Capital Adjustment. Promptly after the end of each month, Xxxx shall reasonably determine the Monthly Working Capital Adjustment.

7.5 Monthly Product Sale Adjustments. For each month (or portion thereof) during the term of the Marketing and Sales Agreement and for each Product Group, Xxxx shall reasonably determine whether an amount is due by one Party to the other (for each Product Group, a “Monthly Product Sale Adjustment”) in accordance with the following terms and conditions:

(a) For each Product Group and relevant period, Xxxx shall reasonably determine (i) the aggregate quantity of barrels of such Product Group sold during such period under Product Purchase Agreements and Company Purchase Agreements, (ii) the aggregate quantity of barrels of such Product Group sold under Excluded Transactions executed pursuant to Section 2.2(c) of the Marketing and Sales Agreement and (iii) the Aggregate Receipts (as defined below);

(b) If, for any Product Group and relevant period, (i) the Aggregate Receipts exceeds the Index Value (as defined below), then the Monthly Product Sale Adjustment for that Product Group shall equal such excess and shall be due to the Company and (ii) the Index Value exceeds the Aggregate Receipts, then the Monthly Product Sale Adjustment for that Product Group shall equal such excess and shall be due to Xxxx;

(c) If Xxxx determines that any Monthly Product Sale Adjustment is due, it will include its calculation of such amount in the documentation provided to the Company for the relevant period pursuant to Section 10.2 and such Monthly Product Sale Adjustment shall be incorporated as a component of the Monthly True-Up Amount due for such period, which, if due to the Company, shall be expressed as a positive number and, if due to Xxxx, shall be expressed as a negative number; and

(d) As used herein:

(i) “Aggregate Receipts” means, for any Product Group and relevant period, the sum of (x) the actual aggregate purchase value invoiced by Xxxx for all quantities of such Product Group that Xxxx delivered during such period (without giving effect to any offsetting Excluded Transactions) under Product Purchase Agreements with Customers and under Company Purchase Agreements with Company Purchasers (each as defined in the Marketing and Sales Agreement) and (y) for any Excluded Transaction executed pursuant to Section 2.2(c) of the Marketing and Sales Agreement, the aggregate purchase value that would have been payable under the proposed Product Purchase Agreement in connection with which such Excluded Transaction was executed;

7.6 Monthly Cover Costs. If, for any month (or portion thereof), Xxxx reasonably determines that, as a result of the Company’s failure to produce the quantities of Product projected under this Agreement or the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations under the Marketing and Sales Agreement, Xxxx retains insufficient quantities of Product to comply with its obligations to any third parties or the Company, whether under Product Purchase Agreements, Company Purchase Agreements or Excluded Transactions, and Xxxx incurs any additional costs and expenses 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 Company shall be obliged to reimburse Xxxx for such Monthly Cover Costs. If Xxxx determines that any Monthly Cover Costs are due to it, Xxxx shall promptly communicate such determination to the Company and, subject to any mitigation of such costs actually achieved by the Company, include the calculation of such amount in the documentation provided to the Company

for the relevant period pursuant to Section 10.2 and such Monthly Cover Costs shall be incorporated as a component of the Monthly True-Up Amount due for such period hereunder.

7.7 Costs Related to Shortfall. To the extent that Xxxx is required to cover any shortfall in any Product delivery, whether under a Product Purchase Agreement or Company Purchase Agreement or otherwise, by any inventory it owns and acquires separately from the inventory owned and maintained in connection with this Agreement, (i) any cost or loss incurred by Xxxx in connection therewith that is not otherwise included as a Monthly Cover Cost shall constitute an Ancillary Cost that is to be reimbursed to Xxxx and (ii) any profit or gain realized by Xxxx in connection therewith shall be forfeited to the Company.

(a) For any month, the “Net Crude Sales Volume” shall equal the greater of (x) (A) the sum of (1) the Actual Month End Crude Volume for the prior month plus (2) the Monthly Crude Receipts for such month, minus (B) the Actual Month End Crude Volume for such month and (y) zero.

(b) For any month, and for each Pricing Group (as defined on Schedule P), the “Net Product Sales Volume” shall equal (A) the sum of (1) the Actual Month End Product Volume for such month plus (2) the Monthly Product Sales for such month, minus (B) the Actual Month End Product Volume for the prior month.

9.4 Disposition Following Force Majeure.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if Xxxx 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 Crude Oil that, based on the then current Monthly Crude Forecast, Xxxx would reasonably have expected to have sold to the Company or ultimately processed by the Company (any quantity of Crude Oil so disposed of by Xxxx being referred to as a “Disposed Quantity”), then the Company shall be obligated to pay to Xxxx an amount equal to the difference between the value at which such Disposed Quantity would have been sold to the Company, minus the amount realized in the sale to a third party (the “Disposition Amount”). In no event shall the Disposed Quantity exceed the aggregate amount of Crude Oil that the Company would have been expected to purchase based on their current Monthly Crude Forecast for the period during which the Company is unable to take delivery of Crude Oil as the result of the Force Majeure event or otherwise.

(b) In connection with its selling any Disposed Quantity, Xxxx shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to sell such Disposed Quantity at generally prevailing values and (ii) promptly determine the Disposition Amount and issue to the Company an

invoice for such amount. The Company shall pay to Xxxx 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 Xxxx shall pay the amount of such excess to the Company no later than the second Business Day after the date of such invoice.

9.5 Change to Tank Status.

(a) The Company or XXXX shall provide prompt written notice to Xxxx of any maintenance that the Company or XXXX intends to conduct on any of the Crude Storage Tanks or Product Storage Tanks that would result in such storage tank being taken out of service (“Tank Maintenance”). The Parties agree to cooperate with each other in establishing the effective date for any such Tank Maintenance for the purposes of any amendments to Schedule E.

(b) The Company or XXXX shall also provide prompt written notice to Xxxx of any binding agreement to sell, lease, sublease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any tank listed on Schedule E.

(c) The Company and XXXX agree that they will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with good industry standards and practices, to complete (and to cause any third parties to complete) any Tank Maintenance as promptly as practicable.

9.6 Certain Regulatory Matters.

(a) If Xxxx shall determine, in its sole judgment, that as a result of (i) the taking effect of any Applicable Law after the date hereof, (ii) any change in Applicable Law or in the administration, interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, (iii) the making or issuance of any request, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) or any interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority or the bringing of any action in a court of competent jurisdiction (regardless of whether related to Xxxx) or (iv) any interpretation of or proposal to implement any of the foregoing by a Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing events described in clauses (i)-(iv) arising from or relating to either the Federal Reserve Notice of Proposed Rulemaking or the Federal Reserve 620 Report and whether occurring before or after the Second Restatement Effective Date (each, a “Regulatory Event”), Xxxx or any of its Affiliates is or would (A) not be permitted to hold, store, transport, buy, finance, sell or own any or certain of the commodities subject to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, (B) 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, (C) be unable to perform in any material respect its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, or (D) were it to continue to hold, store, transport, buy, finance, sell or own any of the commodities subject to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents or perform any such

obligations, and taking into account other commodities and the volumes thereof held by Xxxx or any of its Affiliates from time to time, be or likely to be required to hold additional capital, or be assessed any additional capital or other charges, or be or likely to be subject to additional or increased burdens or costs (such additional capital or other charges, burdens and costs, collectively, “Additional Costs”), then it shall notify the Company in writing of such determination (a “Regulatory Event Notice”). Promptly following the sending of a Regulatory Event Notice, Xxxx shall propose what actions or steps, if any, either Party or both Parties could implement to alleviate, minimize and/or mitigate the effect of any such Regulatory Event, and the Company shall consider any such actions or steps in good faith. If, in Aron’s sole judgment, Xxxx is able to identify actions or steps that can be implemented with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents without adversely impacting the business conducted by Xxxx and its Affiliates generally, including, without limitation, without resulting in Xxxx or its Affiliates being required to incur any Additional Costs on the basis of holding, storing, transporting, buying, 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, 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 and in a commercially reasonable manner, endeavor to implement such actions and steps. If, in Aron’s sole judgment, Xxxx is unable to identify such actions or steps or the Parties are unable to implement any actions and steps that have been so identified, then Xxxx may, by written notice to the Company (a “Regulatory Termination Notice”), elect to terminate this Agreement in the manner provided for in Article 20 on such date Xxxx shall specify in such notice, which date shall constitute a Termination Date for purposes of Article 20; provided that (x) (unless such Regulatory Event has or is expected to become effective at an earlier date) the date specified in such Regulatory Termination Notice shall occur at least ninety (90) days after the date such notice is given and if practicable on the last day of a month, or on such earlier date as may be requested by the Company provided that the Parties in Aron’s reasonable judgment have sufficient time to effect a termination pursuant to Article 20 hereof, (y) if a Regulatory Termination Notice is given, an election under Section 9.6(b) is made and the alternative structure contemplated by Section 9.6(b) is implemented, then no termination shall result from such Regulatory Termination Notice and (z) if the relevant Regulatory Termination Notice relates only to the incurrence of Additional Costs, then if and for so long as the Company exercises its option under Section 9.6(d) below, no termination shall result from such Regulatory Termination Notice. In the case of a Regulatory Termination Notice referred to in clause (z) of the preceding sentence, Xxxx will also provide to the Company an estimate of such Additional Costs which Xxxx shall determine in a commercially reasonable manner based on such information relating to the relevant Regulatory Event as is then available to Xxxx.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) in the case of Xxxx, concurrently with, and (ii) in the case of the Company following, the giving of a Regulatory Termination Notice, either Party may, in its sole discretion, elect to modify this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions subject hereto and thereto so that Xxxx

shall not be the owner of any commodities held at Included Locations and that instead all commodities held at Included Locations shall constitute Inventory Collateral and all Included Locations shall constitute Specified Lien Locations, and if such election is made, then the Company shall (and shall cause its Affiliates and third parties to) execute such amendments and modifications to the Transaction Documents, take such other actions and execute and deliver such ancillary documents (including acknowledgments, consents, waivers, security agreements or acknowledgments, UCC financing statements, delivery of legal opinions, etc.) as are necessary and appropriate in Aron’s judgment to implement and confirm the effectiveness such alternative structure. Xxxx may only make the election contemplated by this subsection (b) if it does so concurrently with its giving of the Regulatory Termination Notice. The Company may make the election contemplated by this subsection (b) on a temporary basis prior to the effective date of the Regulatory Termination Notice (provided that is shall advise Xxxx that such election has been made on a temporary basis) and if the Company makes such election on a temporary basis, then during the 90 day period following the date on such election, the Company may (in each case by written notice to Xxxx) elect to continue the election under this subsection (b), elect to pay Additional Costs as contemplated under subsection (d) below if such election is available, or elect to have termination pursuant to such Regulatory Termination Notice become effective on the last day of such 90 day period; provided that if the Company elects to have the Regulatory Termination Notice become effective, Xxxx may, in its discretion, reset the date as of which termination is to be effective pursuant to Article 20 hereof to allow sufficient time for such termination to be effected as contemplated thereby and until such termination date occurs, the Company’s temporary election under this clause (b) shall remain in effect.

(c) If Xxxx gives a Regulatory Termination Notice relating to a Regulatory Event that is based on a rule or regulation that, at the time such notice is given, has not yet become effective (including without limitation any rule or regulation resulting from the Federal Reserve Notice of Proposed Rulemaking), then without limiting the minimum 90 day notice period required under clause (a) above, such Regulatory Termination Notice shall not become effective prior to the date on which such rule or regulation becomes effective.

(d) If Xxxx gives a Regulatory Termination Notice relating to a Regulatory Event Notice that relates only to the incurrence of Additional Costs, then the Company may elect, by written notice to Xxxx, to compensate Xxxx from time to time for such Additional Costs incurred by Xxxx and so long as the Company compensates Xxxx for such Additional Costs, this Agreement shall not be terminated on the basis of such Regulatory Event Notice; provided that (i) upon giving such notice to Xxxx, the Company Parties shall become obligated to pay all Additional Costs thereafter incurred, subject to clause (iv) below, and without limiting such obligation Xxxx may require that the Company Parties execute such further documents or instruments as Xxxx may request to confirm such obligation, (ii) the amount of such Additional Costs shall be determined by Xxxx in accordance with its internal procedures and shall include Additional Costs directly arising from this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and the portion of any other Additional Costs allocable, on a pro rata basis, to this Agreement, such Transaction Documents and such transactions, (iii) such Additional Costs shall be

documented and invoiced by Xxxx to the Company Parties on a monthly basis and be due and payable within two (2) Business Days after invoicing, it being acknowledged that to the extent feasible, Xxxx will endeavor to include such Additional Costs in the monthly settlement provided for under Section 10.2 hereof and (iv) the Company Parties may elect to cease compensating Xxxx for such Additional Costs by written notice which shall be effective 120 days after being given, in which case Xxxx may reinstate its Regulatory Termination Notice with respect to such Additional Costs.

(e) As used herein, “Federal Reserve Notice of Proposed Rulemaking” means the notice of proposed rulemaking issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System titled “Risk-based Capital and Other Regulatory Requirements for Activities of Financing Holding Companies Related to Physical Commodities and Risk-based Capital Requirements for Merchant Banking Investments” (Docket No. R‑1547; XXX 0000 XX‑58); and “Federal Reserve 620 Report” means the Report to the Congress and the Financial Stability Oversight Council Pursuant to Section 620 of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Act issued in September 2016 by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

9.7 DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTY OF TITLE WITH RESPECT TO CRUDE OIL OR PRODUCTS DELIVERED HEREUNDER, NO PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTY, CONDITION OR OTHER REPRESENTATION, WRITTEN OR ORAL, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS OR SUITABILITY OF THE CRUDE OIL OR PRODUCTS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE. FURTHER, NO PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION THAT THE CRUDE OIL OR PRODUCTS CONFORMS TO THE SPECIFICATIONS IDENTIFIED IN ANY CONTRACT WITH ANY THIRD PARTY SUPPLIER.

ARTICLE 10
PAYMENT PROVISIONS

10.1 Interim Payments.

(a) For each day, Xxxx will calculate a provisional payment (each an “Interim Payment”) which:

(i) if such day is not a Monthly True-Up Date, shall equal (i) the greater of (A) zero and (B) the Cumulative Estimated Daily Net Settlement Amount as of such date minus the LC Threshold Amount as of such date, minus (ii) the Cumulative Interim Paid Amount as of such date; and

(ii) if such day is a Monthly True-Up Date, shall be determined as follows:

(1) Upon the payment of any Monthly True-Up Amount due on such day, Xxxx shall determine the Interim Reset Amount as of such Monthly True-Up Date;

(2) Xxxx shall calculate the Cumulative Estimated Daily Net Settlement Amount as of such date and the Cumulative Interim Paid Amount as of such date after giving effect to the payment of such Monthly True-Up Amount and such Interim Reset Amount; and

(3) the Interim Payment for such Monthly True-up Date shall equal (i) the greater of (A) zero and (B) the Cumulative Estimated Daily Net Settlement Amount as of such date minus the LC Threshold Amount as of such date, minus (ii) the Cumulative Interim Paid Amount as of such date

(iii) For illustrative purposes only, Schedule FF sets forth an example of the computations contemplated by this Section 10.1(a). Such example is not, and is not intended to be, an indication or prediction of the actual results of the computations under this Section 10.1(a), but merely provides an illustration of the manner in which computations are to be made.

(b) For purposes of calculating Interim Payments, Xxxx shall determine, for each day, a daily settlement amount (“Daily Settlement Amount”) shall be the Estimated Daily Net Product Sales times the applicable Daily Value per Schedule B minus the Estimated Daily Net Crude Sales minus an estimate of Ancillary Costs, which shall be denoted as a positive number, for such day to the extent not directly invoiced to the Company, in the manner illustrated on Schedule G and subject to the following terms and conditions. If such amount is a positive number, such amount shall be due from Xxxx to the Company. If such amount is a negative number, then the absolute value thereof shall be due from the Company to Xxxx. With respect to the foregoing calculations and determinations:

(i) if inventory data needed for the applicable invoice date per Schedule G has not been reported Xxxx will reasonably use the inventory data for the day occurring during the thirty (30) day period preceding such calendar day that results in the largest Estimated Daily Net Crude Sales or the smallest Estimated Daily Net Product Sales (as the case may be); and

(ii) if Xxxx determines a Daily Settlement Amount using any inventory data covered by clause (i) above or determines that any inventory data it has used in such determination was inaccurate, then Xxxx may, at its option, adjust future Daily Settlement Amounts (no more often than once per calendar week) to take account of any corrected inventory data or any inventory data that, if available, would have complied with clause (i) above.

(i) The Company shall, as of the end of each day, provide to Xxxx inventory reports in the form set forth on Schedule H, showing the quantity of (w) Crude Oil held in Crude Storage Tanks, (x) Crude Oil that is Included Crude Lien

Inventory, (y) Products held in Product Storage Tanks and (z) Products that are Included Product Lien Inventory.

(d) For the purposes hereof,

(i) “Estimated Daily Net Crude Sales” for any day shall be the aggregate daily flow through meters R1, R2, and R3 times the applicable Daily Value per Schedule B minus the Estimated Gathering Crude Value minus Lion-Owned Rail Receipts times the applicable Daily Value per Schedule B;

(ii) “Estimated Daily Net Product Sales” for any day and Product shall be the estimate for that day of the Product volume that equals (x) the aggregate volume of such Product held in the Product Storage Tanks at the end of such day, plus the aggregate volume of such Product held in the Included Third Party Product Storage Tanks at the end of such day, plus the Product Linefill at the end of such day, plus the aggregate volume of Included Product Lien Inventory at the end of such day, plus (y) the Daily Product Sales of such Product for such day, minus (z) the aggregate volume of such Product held in the Product Storage Tanks at the beginning of such day, plus the aggregate volume of such Product held in the Included Third Party Product Storage Tanks at the beginning of such day, plus the Product Linefill at the beginning of such day, plus the aggregate volume of Included Product Lien Inventory at the beginning of such day; and

(iii) “Estimated Gathering Crude Value” for any day shall be the Estimated Gathering Tank Injections times (the closing settlement price on the NYMEX for the first nearby light sweet crude oil futures contracts rounded to 4 decimal points minus $[***]/bbl).

(e) For each day, Xxxx shall determine the Estimated Daily Net Crude Sales and Estimated Daily Net Product Sales, in a commercially reasonable manner based on the inventory data and otherwise in the manner contemplated by this Section 10.1 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) If Xxxx advises the Company of an Interim Payment on any Business Day, then the Company shall be obligated to pay such Interim Payment to Xxxx on the following Business Day.

(g) For any Business Day, the Interim Payment to be determined and advised by Xxxx shall be the Interim Payment for that day, provided that if such Business Day is followed by one or more non-Business Days (whether weekends or Bank Holidays), then Xxxx shall reasonably determine and advise to the Company the Interim Payment for that Business Day as well as the Interim Payment each of such following non-Business Days and all such Interim Payments shall be due on that Business Day.

(h) [Reserved.]

(i) With respect to the Deferred Interim Payment Amount, the parties agree that:

(i) commencing with the Interim Payment due for the Initial Delivery Date and until such point as the aggregate amount of Interim Payments equals the Deferred Interim Payment Amount, such aggregate amount of Interim Payments were deferred so that the first [***] of such payments so deferred were required to be paid under Section 10.1, and were excluded from the Monthly True-Up Amount calculation under Section 10.2, it being acknowledged that the amount referred to in this clause (i) shall not be due from the Company to Xxxx until the Termination Date hereunder, at which time such amount shall be due and payable in full (unless payment of such amount is accelerated under Article 19); and

(ii) So long as any portion of the Deferred Interim Payment Amount is being deferred pursuant to clause (i) above, it shall be counted as having been paid for purposes of determining any Interim Payments or Monthly True-Up Amounts calculated hereunder (but without prejudice to such amounts being due as contemplated under clause (i) above).

The provisions of this clause (i) have been retained for good order’s sake and to provide a convenient record of the matters covered thereby.

10.2 Monthly True-Up Amount.

(a) Xxxx will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Company, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the end of any month, a calculation and appropriate documentation to support such calculation for such month for a monthly true-up payment (the “Monthly True-Up Amount”). The Monthly True-Up Amount for any month shall be equal to:

(i) the Cumulative Interim Paid Amount as of the then current Monthly True-Up Date, minus

(ii) the Gross Monthly Crude Oil Value (as defined on Schedule C); minus

(iii) the sum of the Gross Monthly Product Values (as defined on Schedule C), minus

(iv) the Ancillary Costs for such month, plus

(v) the Monthly Excluded Transaction Fee, plus

(vi) the Monthly Product Sale Adjustment, minus

(vii) the Monthly Cover Costs, plus

(viii) the Monthly Working Capital Adjustment, plus

(ix) any other amount then due from Xxxx to the Company under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including without limitation any Additional Monthly Fee due to the Company, inclusive of the Lion Monthly Deferral Amount calculated in accordance with Schedule HH of this Agreement, if applicable), minus

(x) any Excess LC Fee for such month, minus

(xi) any LC Fee for such month, minus

(xii) any other amount then due from the Company to Xxxx under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including without limitation any Additional Monthly Fee due to Xxxx), plus

(xiii) the Price Adjustment Settlement Amount calculated in accordance with Schedule GG, if applicable, which, if positive, shall be due from Xxxx to the Company and, if negative, shall be due from the Company to Xxxx.

If the Monthly True-Up Amount is a positive number, such amount shall be reflected in the Interim Reset Amount, each as fixed as of the then current Monthly True-Up Date pursuant to Section 10.1(a) above. If the Monthly True-Up Amount is a negative number, then the absolute value thereof shall be due from the Company to Xxxx. The Company shall pay any Monthly True-Up Amount due to Xxxx within two (2) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the monthly invoice and all related documentation supporting the invoiced amount.

(b) For purposes of determining the amounts due under clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 10.2(a), the definitions and formulas set forth on Schedule C shall apply and for purposes of determining the amount due under clause (viii) of Section 10.2(a), the definitions and formula set forth on Schedule L shall apply.

(c) For the purposes of determining the Monthly True-Up Amount for April 2020 and May 2020, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary on Schedule C, the Parties agree that additional sums shall be owing from one Party to the other to reflect the net amounts that would have been due between the Parties had the Second Restated Agreement expired on the Expiration Date thereof (including the purchase by the Company of Crude Oil and Products pursuant to the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement contemplated thereby) and this Agreement had been entered into and became effective on the Third Restatement Adjustment Date (with the purchase by Xxxx on the Third Restatement Adjustment Date of Crude Oil and Products pursuant to a document comparable to the Inventory Sales Agreements). The amounts determined and payable under this Section 10.2(c) shall be included as part of the Monthly True-Up Amounts for April 2020 and May 2020, which shall be payable in May 2020 and June 2020, respectively.

(d) Prior to the Third Restatement Adjustment Date, for purposes of determining the Daily Value, the Short Crude FIFO Value and the Long Crude FIFO Value Price, in each case, for the Crude Product Group for Volume in Excess of Baseline Volume, the definitions

and formulas for the “Base Calculation”, the “Alternate Calculation” and the “Light Sweet Crude Oil Futures Contract”, in each case, set forth on Schedule B-1 shall apply.

(e) On and after the Third Restatement Adjustment Date, for purposes of determining the Daily Value, the Short Crude FIFO Value and the Long Crude FIFO Value Price, in each case, for the Crude Product Group for Volume in Excess of Baseline Volume, the definitions and formulas for the “Crude Index Calculation” set forth on Schedule B-2 shall apply.

10.3 Annual and Other Fees. As additional consideration for the arrangements contemplated hereby, the Company agrees to pay to Xxxx, as and when due, all fees provided for in the Fee Letter; provided that with respect to the Annual Fee referred to therein, such Annual Fee for each twelve (12) month period during the Term is to be paid in arrears, in equal quarterly installments, (i) prior to the Third Restatement Adjustment Date, on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 of each year, (ii) from and after the Third Restatement Adjustment Date, on June 1, September 1, December 1 and March 1 of each year, and (iii) the Termination Date. The Annual Fee shall be prorated for any periods of less than a full three (3) months.

10.4 Invoices.

(a) Invoices shall be prepared and submitted in accordance to Schedule G.

(b) If the Company in good faith disputes the amount of any invoice issued by Xxxx relating to any amount payable hereunder (including Interim Payments, Monthly True-Up Amounts or Ancillary Costs), it nonetheless shall pay Xxxx the full amount of such invoice by the due date and inform Xxxx in writing of the portion of the invoice with which it disagrees and why; provided that, to the extent that the Company promptly informs Xxxx of a calculation error that is obvious on its face, the Company shall pay Xxxx the undisputed amounts and may retain such disputed amount pending resolution of such dispute. The Parties shall cooperate in resolving the dispute expeditiously. 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 25, Xxxx shall return such amount to the Company, together with interest at the Fed Funds 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, Xxxx 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. To the extent that an existing Procurement Contract permits disputed amounts to be retained pending resolution of disputes, the Parties agree to permit disputed amounts to be retained hereunder on the same terms, notwithstanding anything hereunder to the contrary.

10.5 Other Feedstocks. If Xxxx procures any catfeed or other non-Crude Oil feedstocks for the Company to run at the Refinery, the parties shall agree in connection with such procurement upon terms for incorporating the purchase of such feedstocks into the daily and monthly settlements contemplated by Sections 10.1 and 10.2 above.

10.6 Interest.

(a) If any amount payable by any Company Party, the Guarantor, or any S&O Party under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document is not paid when due, whether at its scheduled payment date, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Interest Rate (calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed over a 360 day year).

(b) For so long as any Event of Default with respect to the Company Parties has occurred and is continuing, interest shall accrue on a daily basis for such period (“Exposure Default Interest”) at the Default Interest Rate on Aron’s daily aggregate exposure to the S&O Parties under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, as determined by Xxxx in a commercially reasonable manner provided that such Exposure Default Interest shall be determined without duplication of any other interest accruing hereunder, including interest accruing at the Default Interest Rate under Section 10.6(a) above.

(c) Any Default Interest Rate interest accruing under Section 10.6(a) or Exposure Default Interest accruing Section 10.6(b) shall be due to Xxxx on demand or, absent such demand, monthly and shall continue to accrue after occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 19.1(d) hereof, whether or not allowed or allowable in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding.

10.7 Payment in Full in Same Day Funds. All payments to be made under this Agreement shall be made by telegraphic transfer of same day funds in U.S. Dollars to such bank account at such bank as the payee shall designate in writing to the payor from time to time. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, 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 or otherwise.

ARTICLE 11
LIEN AMOUNTS

11.1 Lien Amounts. Commencing on the Location Conversion Date and from time to time thereafter during the Term, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Xxxx will advance to the Company the amount as from time to time determined hereunder (such amount, the “Lien Amount”), which shall initially equal the Initial Lien Amount and thereafter be adjusted as provided in Section 11.3 below. The Lien Amount will fluctuate from time to time based on the value and volume of the Included Crude Lien Inventory and Included Product Lien Inventory.

11.2 Initial Lien Amount. As of the Location Conversion Date, the “Initial Lien Amount” equaled the sum of Initial Crude Lien Inventory Value and the Initial Product Lien Inventory Value. Xxxx advanced the Initial Lien Amount to the Company on the Location Conversion Date.

(a) With respect to each day during the Term, Xxxx shall calculate, as provided in Section 10.1(b), the Estimated Daily Net Crude Sales and Estimated Daily Net Product Sales which shall be due from one Party to the other and settled as provided therein; provided that Xxxx shall not be obligated to pay any such Interim Payment to the Company at any time that a Default (of which Xxxx has provided notice to the Company) or Event of Default with respect to the Company or XXXX has occurred and is continuing.

(b) The “Interim Adjustment Amount” means, for any day, the amount determined by Xxxx as an interim adjustment to the Lien Amount, by applying the applicable Daily Values to the day over day change in the Included Product Lien Inventory and Included Crude Lien Inventory, which may be a positive or negative amount. If positive, the Interim Adjustment Amount shall increase the Lien Amount and if negative, the Interim Adjustment Amount shall decrease the Lien Amount.

11.4 [Reserved]

11.6 Remedies upon Event of Default. If an Event of Default with respect to the Company occurs and Xxxx exercises its remedies under Article 19 hereof, then without limiting any rights and remedies that Xxxx may have thereunder, under the Transaction Documents or otherwise, it is agreed that:

(a)

(i) Xxxx may terminate its obligation to make any further payments or advances to the Company with respect to any Lien Amount and declare the then outstanding Lien Amounts to be due and payable, except that in the case of an Event

of Default under Section 19.1(d), Aron’s obligation to make any further payments or advances to the Company with respect to the Lien Amounts shall automatically be terminated and the then outstanding Lien Amounts shall automatically be immediately due and payable without any election, notice or action on the part of Xxxx; provided that the amount due to Xxxx as a result of such termination and acceleration shall include all amounts accrued on such Lien Amounts to the date of such termination and all losses and costs which Xxxx incurs as a result of maintaining, terminating or obtaining any related hedge positions and in doing so Xxxx may use such pricing and rate references as Xxxx xxxxx appropriate in its commercially reasonable judgment, including references to such futures, forward, swap and options markets as it shall select in its reasonable judgment; and

(ii) Xxxx may, in its discretion, include any amount determined under clause (i) above in any net settlement (including under Section 19.2(f) hereof), exercise of setoff rights (including under Section 19.2(i) hereof) or in the exercise of other rights whether by agreement, at law or in equity (including rights of recoupment) that Xxxx may have.

The foregoing shall in no way limit or be deemed to limit any other rights or remedies of Xxxx under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including its rights to apply the proceeds of any Inventory Collateral to any Obligations.

11.7 Settlement at Termination. In the event this Agreement terminates pursuant to Article 20 hereof, the following provisions shall apply with respect to all Lien Amounts:

11.8 Eligible Hydrocarbon Inventory.

(a) By no later than 3:00 p.m. CPT on each Business Day, the Company shall provide to Xxxx, via email, a report in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Xxxx as illustrated on Schedule H (the “Inventory Report”) showing the inventory quantities that then constitute Eligible Hydrocarbon Inventory, including the quantity and location of each type of inventory.

(b) Notwithstanding the inventory quantities shown in an Inventory Report, if Xxxx in its reasonable judgment and in good faith determines that any of such quantities do not constitute Eligible Hydrocarbon Inventory, then Xxxx may exclude such quantities from the Eligible Hydrocarbon Inventory for purposes hereof.

(c) By delivering an Inventory Report, the Company shall be deemed to represent and warrant to Xxxx (to the same extent as if set forth in this Agreement) that all Hydrocarbons identified as Eligible Hydrocarbon Inventory in such report meet all the requirements of Eligible Hydrocarbon Inventory set forth in this Agreement.

Upon the occurrence of an LC Default with respect to any Letter of Credit provided to Xxxx hereunder, the Company agrees to deliver a substitute Letter of Credit to Xxxx having an available amount at least equal to that of the Letter of Credit to be replaced on or before the first (1st) Business Day after written demand by Xxxx (or the third (3rd) Business Day if only clause (a) under the definition of LC Default applies).

(ii) A Letter of Credit shall provide that Xxxx may draw upon the Letter of Credit in an amount (up to the face amount for which the Letter of Credit has been issued) that is equal to all amounts that are due and owing from the Company or XXXX but have not been paid to Xxxx within the time allowed for such payments under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including any related notice or grace period or both).

The Company shall remain liable for any amounts due and owing to Xxxx and remaining unpaid after the application of the amounts so drawn by Xxxx.

(c) The Parties agree that the Company Parties may request that Xxxx release its lien on the portion of the Inventory Collateral that is located in the Plantation Pipeline Systems and any asphalt terminal that are not Included Locations if the Company Parties are able to obtain financing from an unaffiliated third party based on such portion of the Inventory Collateral and Xxxx will agree to provide such release to the Company Parties provided that Xxxx and such third party, concurrently with such release, enter into acknowledgment and intercreditor documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Xxxx.

(d) Nothing in this Section 13.4 shall limit any rights of Xxxx under any other provision of this Agreement, including under Article 19 below.

If, during the Term of this Agreement, a Material Adverse Change has occurred with respect to the Company and is continuing, then Xxxx may notify the Company thereof and demand in writing that the Company provide to Xxxx adequate assurance of the Company’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder. Such adequate assurance (the “Adequate Assurance”) may take the form of a prepayment from the Company to Xxxx in such amount as Xxxx

reasonably deems sufficient, a provision of additional credit support in the form of letters of credit, third party guaranties and/or collateral security in such forms and amount and provided by such parties as Xxxx reasonably deems sufficient or such other form of assurance as Xxxx reasonably deems sufficient, in each case taking into account such Material Adverse Change.

ARTICLE 14

REFINERY TURNAROUND, MAINTENANCE AND CLOSURE

14.1 The Company shall promptly notify Xxxx in writing of the date for which any maintenance or turnaround at the Refinery has been scheduled, or any revision to previously scheduled maintenance or turnaround, which may impair receipts of Crude Oil at the Refinery or the Storage Facilities, the processing of Crude Oil in the Refinery or the delivery of Products to Xxxx or by Xxxx to the Company or any third parties; provided that, (i) promptly after the Company completes its annual business plan with respect to any year, it shall notify Xxxx of any such maintenance or turnaround contemplated with respect to such year and (ii) the Company shall give Xxxx at least two (2) months’ prior written notice of any such scheduled maintenance or turnaround.

14.2 The Company shall promptly notify Xxxx orally (followed by prompt written notice) of any previously unscheduled material downtime, maintenance or turnaround and its expected duration.

14.3 In the event of a scheduled shutdown of the Refinery, the Company shall, to the extent feasible, complete processing of all Crude Oil being charged to, processed at or consumed in the Refinery at that time.

14.4 Treatment of Identified Facilities.

(a) Subject to Section 14.4(b) below, if at any time Xxxx determines that all or any portion of the facilities constituting an Included Location or Specified Lien Location (in each case, “Identified Facilities”) fail to satisfy Aron’s then applicable policies and procedures relating to the prudent maintenance and operation of storage tanks, pipeline facilities, vessels and other infrastructure used to store or transport Crude Oil and/or Products (“Aron’s Policies and Procedures”), and without limiting any other rights and remedies available to Xxxx hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, Xxxx may provide the Company notice of such failure so long as such failure is continuing and, if Xxxx provides such notice, the following provisions shall be applicable: (i) in the case of any Identified Facilities that are subject to the Storage Facilities Agreement, upon such date as Xxxx shall specify, such Identified Facilities shall cease to constitute an Included Location (or part of an Included Location) for purposes hereof and any payment to Xxxx in respect of any Crude Oil or Products held in such Identified Facilities shall become due in accordance with the provisions of Article 10 hereof; (ii) in the case of any Identified Facilities that are subject to a Required Storage and Transportation Arrangement, the Parties shall endeavor as promptly as reasonably practicable to execute such rights, provide such notices, negotiate

such reassignments or terminations and/or take such further actions as Xxxx xxxxx necessary or appropriate to terminate Aron’s status as the party entitled to use and/or hold Crude Oil or Products at such Identified Facilities and, concurrently with effecting the termination of such status, such Identified Facilities shall cease to constitute an Included Location (or part of an Included Location) for purposes hereof and any payment to Xxxx in respect of any Crude Oil or Products held in such Identified Facilities shall become due in accordance with the provisions of Section 10 hereof and (iii) in the case of any Identified Facilities that are Specified Lien Locations, such Identified Facilities shall cease to constitute a Specified Lien Location (or part of a Specified Lien Location) for purposes hereof and any payment to Xxxx in respect of any Crude Oil or Products held in such Identified Facilities shall become due in accordance with the provisions of Articles 10 and 11 hereof. Aron’s Policies and Procedures are, as of the Third Restatement Effective Date, in accordance with and not in excess of standards and requirements under Applicable Law and good and prudent industry custom, practices and procedures, provided that Xxxx may from time to time adjust Aron’s Policies and Procedures. If any tank or pipeline has ceased to be an Included Location or Specified Lien Location pursuant to this Section 14.4(a) and thereafter such tank or pipeline is returned to service or reactivated and Xxxx determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment, that such tank or Identified Facilities is compliant with the standards or requirements imposed under Applicable Law or good and prudent industry custom, practice and procedures, then Xxxx shall promptly cooperate with the Company to reestablish such tank or pipeline as an Included Location or Specified Lien Location hereunder (subject to application of Section 14.4(b)(ii) below with respect to reestablishing a tank or pipeline as an Included Location).

(b) Aron’s rights under Section 14.4(a) above are subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

(i) Xxxx shall apply Aron’s Policies and Procedures with respect to the Included Locations or Specified Lien Locations in a non-discriminatory manner as compared with other similar storage tanks and pipeline facilities utilized in a similar manner; and

(ii) If Aron’s Policies and Procedures exceed the standards or requirements imposed under Applicable Law or good and prudent industry custom, practice and procedures, then such excess standards or requirements shall only be applied with respect to determining whether an Included Location is an Identified Facility. If, as a result of the application of such excess standards or requirements, any Included Location is determined to be an Identified Facility, then (1) Xxxx shall not require the removal of such Identified Facilities as Included Locations until the 60th day after giving the Company written notice of such failure, unless in Aron’s reasonable judgment such failure presents an imminent risk relating to such Identified Facility in which case Xxxx may require that such Identified Facility immediately cease to constitute an Included Location and the terms of Section 14.4(a) shall immediately become applicable, (2) during such 60 day period, Xxxx shall consult with the Company in good faith to determine whether based on further information

provided by the Company such Identified Facilities comply with Aron’s Policies and Procedures and/or whether additional actions or procedures can be taken or implemented so that, as a result, such Identified Facilities would comply with Aron’s Policies and Procedures, and (3) if it is determined that such Identified Facilities do comply with Aron’s Policies and Procedures or, as a result of such additional actions or procedures, such Identified Facilities become so compliant within such 60 day period, then such Identified Facilities shall not cease to be Included Locations based on the noncompliance stated in Aron’s notice to the Company; and

(iii) If pursuant to clause (ii) above any Identified Facility ceases to be an Included Location as a result of the application of such excess standards or requirements referred to therein, but otherwise complies with Aron’s Policies and Procedures that are not in excess of standards and requirements under Applicable Law and good and prudent industry custom, practices and procedures, then such Included Location shall become a Specified Lien Location as of the date it ceases being an Included Location. It is acknowledged that the provisions of clause (ii) above only apply to an Identified Facility that is an Included Location, not a Specified Lien Location.

(c) The Company Parties further agree that the Company will promptly notify Xxxx in writing of any Included Location or Specified Lien Location that (i) the Company or XXXX removes from service, for any reason and if removal from service is anticipated to be more than 30 days or (ii) has had no bulk movements of Crude Oil or Products during any period of 60 consecutive days or has otherwise been designated or categorized as no longer being active or in use for at least 60 consecutive days and has de minimis inventory and then, in either such case, Xxxx shall, within 5 Business Days after receipt of such notice, advise the Company whether the tank or pipeline constituting such Included Location or Specified Lien Location shall cease to constitute an Included Location or Specified Lien Location for purposes hereof. If Xxxx advises the Company Parties that any such tank or pipeline is to cease to be an Included Location or Specified Lien Location, such change in status shall occur on the effective date specified by Xxxx. If any tank or pipeline has ceased to be an Included Location or Specified Lien Location pursuant to this Section 14.4(c) and thereafter such tank or pipeline is returned to service or reactivated and Xxxx determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment, that such tank or pipeline is compliant with Aron’s Policies and Procedures, then Xxxx shall promptly cooperate with the Company to reestablish such tank or pipeline as an Included Location or Specified Lien Location hereunder.

(d) With respect to any Included Location that is subject to a Required Storage and Transportation Arrangement (other than a Required MLP Arrangement), the Company Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for Xxxx to be permitted, from time to time, to conduct inspections of such Included Location for purposes of determining whether such Included Location satisfies Aron’s Policies and Procedures. If despite such efforts, the Company Parties are unable to make such arrangements with respect to an Included Location, then upon written notice from Xxxx to the Company such Included Location shall be converted to a Specified Lien Location.

(e) With respect to any Included Location or Specified Lien Location that is owned or operated by either Company Party or any MLP Party, the Company Parties shall from time to time permit or cause a MLP Party to permit Xxxx to conduct inspections of such Included Location or Specified Lien Location for purposes of determining whether such Included Location or Specified Lien Location satisfies Aron’s Policies and Procedures. If the Company Parties fail to comply with the foregoing requirement with respect to any Included Location or Specified Lien Location, then upon written notice from Xxxx to the Company such Included Location or Specified Lien Location shall cease to constitute an Included Location or Specified Lien Location for purposes hereof.

ARTICLE 15

TAXES

15.1 The Company shall pay and indemnify and hold Xxxx harmless against, the amount of all sales, use, gross receipts, value added, severance, ad valorem, excise, property, spill, environmental, transaction-based, or similar taxes, duties and fees, howsoever designated (each, a “Tax” and collectively, “Taxes”) regardless of the taxing authority, and all penalties and interest thereon, paid, owing, asserted against, or incurred by Xxxx directly or indirectly with respect to the Crude Oil procured and sold, and the Products purchased and resold, and other transactions contemplated hereunder to the greatest extent permitted by Applicable Law; in the event that the Company is not permitted to pay such Taxes, the amount due hereunder shall be adjusted such that the Company shall bear the economic burden of the Taxes. The Company shall pay when due such Taxes unless there is an applicable exemption from such Tax, with written confirmation of such Tax exemption to be contemporaneously provided to Xxxx. To the extent Xxxx is required by law to collect such Taxes, one hundred percent (100%) of such Taxes shall be added to invoices as separately stated charges and paid in full by the Company in accordance with this Agreement, unless the Company is exempt from such Taxes and furnishes Xxxx with a certificate of exemption; provided, however, that (i) the failure of Xxxx to separately state or collect Taxes from the Company shall not alter the liability of the Company for Taxes and (ii) Xxxx shall only be liable for Taxes if and to the extent that Taxes have been separately stated and collected from the Company. Xxxx shall be responsible for all taxes imposed on Aron’s net income.

15.2 If the Company disagrees with Aron’s determination that any Tax is due with respect to transactions under this Agreement, the Company shall have the right to seek a binding administrative determination from the applicable taxing authority, or, alternatively, the Company shall have the right to contest any asserted claim for such Taxes in its own name, subject to its agreeing to indemnify Xxxx for the entire amount of such contested Tax (including any associated interest and/or late penalties) should such Tax be deemed applicable. Xxxx agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company, at the Company’s cost and expense, in the event the Company determines to contest any such Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 15.1, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify Xxxx with respect to any penalties or interest resulting from (and only to the extent of and attributable to) Aron’s negligence in preparing and filing any property tax returns that are to be prepared and filed by Xxxx with respect hereto; provided any information that the Company has provided to Xxxx for purposes of such returns is accurate

and complete, and made available by the Company to Xxxx in a timely manner. If the Company apprises Xxxx in a timely manner of any verifiable discounts available for early filing of any such property tax returns that Xxxx is to file, Xxxx shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to avail itself of such discounts and if any such discount is obtained, the amount to be indemnified by the Company under Section 15.1 shall be the discounted amount.

15.3 The Company and Xxxx shall promptly inform each other in writing of any assertion by a taxing authority of additional liability for Taxes in respect of said transactions. Any legal proceedings or any other action against Xxxx with respect to such asserted liability shall be under Aron’s direction, but the Company shall be consulted. Any legal proceedings or any other action against the Company with respect to such asserted liability shall be under the Company’s direction, but Xxxx shall be consulted. In any event, the Company and Xxxx 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.

15.4 Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Article 15 shall survive until ninety (90) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations for the assessment, collection, and levy of any Tax.

ARTICLE 16

In the event that the market value or potential full replacement cost of all Crude Oil and Products exceeds the insurance limits available or the insurance limits available at commercially reasonable rates in the insurance marketplace, the Company will maintain the highest insurance limit available at commercially reasonable rates; provided, however, that the Company will promptly notify Xxxx of the Company’s inability to fully insure any Crude Oil and Products and provide full details of such inability. Such policies shall be endorsed to name Xxxx as a loss payee with respect to any of Aron's Crude Oil or Product in the care, custody or control of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Xxxx, may, at its option and its sole expense, endeavor to procure and provide such property damage coverage for the Crude Oil and Products; provided that, to the extent any such insurance is duplicative with insurance procured by the Company, the insurance procured by the Company shall in all cases represent, and be written to be, the primary coverage;

The foregoing policies with the exception of those listed in Sections 16.1(a) and 16.1(d)(i) shall include Xxxx, its subsidiaries, and affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents as additional insured. The foregoing policy in Section 16.1(a) shall include Xxxx as loss payee and/or lender loss payee with respect the Crude Oil and Products.

(b) The Company shall cause its insurance carriers to xxxxxxx Xxxx with insurance certificates, in XXXXX form or equivalent form reasonably satisfactory to Xxxx, evidencing the existence of the coverages and the endorsements required above. The Company shall provide thirty (30) days’ written notice prior to cancellation of insurance becoming effective. The Company also shall provide renewal certificates within ten (10) days after expiration of the policy.

ARTICLE 17

FORCE MAJEURE

17.1 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 “Affected Party”), it 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 mitigate, avoid or remove 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. The Parties acknowledge that if, as a result of a Force Majeure, the Company were to suspend its receipt and/or processing of Crude Oil, then Xxxx would be entitled to suspend, to a comparable extent, its purchasing of Products. To the extent that Xxxx is unable to perform hereunder as a result of any event of Force Majeure as described in the last sentence of the definition of such term set forth above, such event shall constitute a material hindrance for purposes of this Article 17.

17.2 The Affected Party shall give prompt notice 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 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 Crude Oil 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.

17.3 In the event the Affected Party’s performance is suspended due to an event of Force Majeure in excess of ninety (90) 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 obligations under this Agreement 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 this Agreement, any payment and indemnification obligations by either Party under this Agreement and the obligations set forth in Article 20.

17.4 If any Affected Obligation is not terminated pursuant to this Article 17 or any other provision of this Agreement, 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 this Agreement; provided, however, that the term of this Agreement shall not be extended.

17.5 The Parties acknowledge and agree that the right of Xxxx to declare a Force Majeure based upon any failure by a Third Party Supplier to deliver Crude Oil under a Procurement Contract is solely for purposes of determining the respective rights and obligations as between Xxxx and the Company with respect to any Crude Oil delivery affected thereby, and any such declaration shall not excuse the default of such Third Party Supplier under one or more Procurement Contracts. Any claims that Xxxx may have as a result of such Third Party Supplier’s failure shall be subject to Section 5.9 and any other applicable provisions of this Agreement relating to claims against third parties.

17.6 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), any of the Included Crude Pipeline, Included Product Pipeline or Included Third Party Storage Tanks cease, in whole or in part, to be available to Xxxx pursuant to the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements or any Third Party Lien Location ceases, in whole or in part, to be available to the Company or XXXX, and the foregoing is a result of or attributable to any owner or operator of the Included Crude Pipeline, Included Product Pipeline, Included Third Party Storage Tanks or Third Party Lien Location becoming Bankrupt or breaching or defaulting in any of its obligations relating to the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements or its contractual obligations to the Company or XXXX, then:

(a) The Company shall promptly use commercially reasonable efforts to establish (i) in the case of a Required Storage and Transportation Arrangement, alternative and/or replacement storage and transportation arrangements subject to a Required Storage and Transportation Arrangement for Aron’s benefit and no less favorable to Xxxx (in Xxxx’x reasonable judgment) than those that have ceased to be available and (ii) in the case of a Third Party Lien Location, an alternative and/or replacement storage and transportation arrangement to serve as a replacement for the location that ceased to be a Third Party Lien Location;

(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 this Agreement 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, Third Party Lien Location or the availability of any pipeline or storage facility related thereto; and

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall Xxxx have any obligation under or in connection with this Agreement to store Crude Oil or Product in any pipeline or store Crude Oil or Product in any storage facility or to treat any location as a Specified Lien Location at any time from and after the owner or operator thereof becomes Bankrupt. If any such storage facility is an Included Location then Xxxx may, in its discretion, elect upon written notice to the Company that such storage facility shall cease to be an Included Location as of a date specified in such written notice in which case any Crude Oil or Product held by Xxxx therein shall be purchased by the Company in accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections 10.1 and 10.2 hereof.

(r) With respect to any Inventory Collateral that is held in a location that is not an Owned Lien Location, the Company Parties covenant and agree that:

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Event of Default with respect to a Company, on the one hand, or Aron, on the other hand (such defaulting Party, the “Defaulting Party”) has occurred and is continuing, Aron (where the Company is the Defaulting Party) or the Company (where Aron is the Defaulting Party) (such non-defaulting Party or Parties, the “Non-Defaulting Party”) may, without notice, (i) declare all of the Defaulting Party’s obligations under this Agreement 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 (except that in the case of any Event of Default under Section 19.1(d), all such obligations shall automatically and without any such declaration become forthwith due and payable) and/or (ii) subject to Section 19.2(c), exercise any rights and remedies provided or available to the Non-Defaulting Party under this Agreement or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under UCC and as

provided under this Section 19.2. It is expressly agreed that all such obligations shall be due and payable as a result of any acceleration pursuant to this Section 19.2, including (without limitation) in the case of any automatic acceleration resulting from an Event of Default under Section 19.1(d) and all such obligations shall survive and continue to be due and payable following an Event of Default under Section 19.1(d).

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Defaulting Party, 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 then be outstanding among the Parties that relates specifically to this Agreement, including any Transaction Document) and, subject to Section 19.2(c), to liquidate and terminate any or all rights and obligations under this Agreement (except that in the case of any Event of Default under Section 19.1(d), this Agreement shall automatically and without any notice be terminated). The Settlement Amount (as defined below) shall be calculated in a commercially reasonable manner based on such liquidated and terminated rights and obligations and shall be payable by one Party to the others. The “Settlement Amount” means 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 this Agreement. The determination of the Settlement Amount shall include (without duplication): (w) all reasonable 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 hedge or related trading positions in connection with such termination, (x) 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, (y) the losses and costs (or gains) incurred or realized by the Non-Defaulting Party to the extent it elects to dispose of any Crude Oil or Product inventories maintained for purposes of this Agreement and (z) if Aron is the Non-Defaulting Party, an amount equal to the Remaining Annual Fee. 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.

(c) The Settlement Amount shall be determined by the Non-Defaulting Party, acting in good faith, in a commercially reasonable manner. The Non-Defaulting Party shall determine the Settlement Amount commencing as of the date on which such termination occurs by reference to 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 Settlement Amount on a single day, but rather may effect such terminations and determine the Settlement Amount over a commercially reasonable period of time. In calculating the Settlement Amount, the Non-Defaulting Party shall discount to present value (in any commercially reasonable manner based on London interbank rates for the applicable period and currency) any amount which would be due at a later date and shall add interest (at a rate determined in the same manner) to any amount due prior to the date of the calculation.

(d) 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) withhold or suspend its obligations, including any of its delivery or payment obligations, under this Agreement, (ii) withdraw from storage any and all of the Crude Oil and/or Products then in the Storage Facilities, (iii) otherwise arrange for the disposition of any Crude Oil and/or Products subject to outstanding Procurement Contracts and/or the modification, settlement or termination of such outstanding Procurement Contracts in such manner as it elects and (iv) liquidate in a commercially reasonable manner any credit support, margin or collateral, to the extent not already in the form of cash (including making a demand under the Guarantee, the S&O Party Guarantee or any credit support, margin or collateral arrangements) and apply and set off such payment under the Guarantee, the S&O Party Guarantee or any credit support, margin or collateral or the proceeds thereof against any obligation owing by the Company to Aron. 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 Company shall in all events remain liable to Aron for any amount payable by the Company in respect of any of its obligations remaining unpaid after any such liquidation, application and set off.

(e) Without limiting any other rights or remedies hereunder, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Company is the Non-Defaulting Party, the Company may, in its discretion, (i) withhold or suspend its obligations, including any of its delivery or payment obligations, under this Agreement and/or (ii) otherwise arrange for the settlement or termination of the parties’ outstanding commitments hereunder, the sale in a commercially reasonable manner of Crude Oil and/or Product for Aron’s account, and the replacement of the supply and offtake arrangement contemplated hereby with such alternative arrangements as it may procure, including, without limitation, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to such replacement, the purchase of Crude Oil by the Company on its own account and the storage of Product and Crude Oil owned by the Company in the Included Locations.

(f) The Non-Defaulting Party shall set off (i) the Settlement Amount (if due to the Defaulting Party), plus any performance security (including the Guarantee, the S&O Party Guarantee, or any credit support, margin or collateral arrangements) then held by the Non-Defaulting Party pursuant to the Transaction Documents, plus (at the Non-Defaulting Party’s election) any or all other amounts due to the Defaulting Party hereunder (including under Article 10), against (ii) the Settlement Amount (if due to the Non-Defaulting Party), plus any performance security (including the Guarantee, the S&O Party Guarantee, or any credit support, margin or collateral arrangements) then held by the Defaulting Party, plus (at the Non-Defaulting Party’s election) any or all other amounts due to the Non-Defaulting Party hereunder (including under Article 10), so that all such amounts shall be netted to a single liquidated amount payable by one Party to the other (the “Liquidated Amount”). The Party with the payment obligation shall pay the Liquidated Amount to the applicable other Parties within one (1) Business Day after such amount has been determined.

(g) 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 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.

(h) The Non-Defaulting Party’s rights under this Section 19.2 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 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 this Agreement. 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.

(i) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Non-Defaulting Party and any Affiliate thereof may, without limitation on its rights under this Section 19.2, set off amounts which the Defaulting Party owes to it or any such Affiliate against any amounts which it or such Affiliate owes to the Defaulting Party (whether hereunder, under any other contract or agreement or otherwise and whether or not then due).

(j) The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is intended to be a “master netting agreement” as such term is defined in Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code. As used in this Section 19.2, unless otherwise expressly provided, each reference to “this Agreement” shall, and shall be deemed to, be a reference to “this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.”

Any such amount payable shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by Aron as the result of the early termination and each of the Company Parties agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. EACH OF THE COMPANY PARTIES 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 FOREGOING AMOUNTS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. Each of the Company Parties expressly agree (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) all such amounts are reasonable and the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) such amounts shall be payable notwithstanding the

then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Parties hereto giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay such amounts; and (D) the Company Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph.

In connection with the assignment or reassignment of any Procurement Contract, the Parties shall endeavor, in a commercially reasonable manner, to facilitate the transitioning of the supply and payment arrangements, including any change in payment terms, under the relevant Procurement Contracts so as to prevent any material disruption in the supply of Crude Oil thereunder.

(b) If, pursuant to the Marketing and Sales Agreement, any sales commitments are outstanding that, 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 the Company or shall be terminated, (ii) all rights and obligations of Aron with respect to each then outstanding sales commitment shall be assigned to the Company, (iii) the Company 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 Company from any further obligations with respect to such sales commitments.

(c) In the event that Aron has become a party to any other third party service contract in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any pipeline, terminalling, storage and shipping arrangement including but not limited to the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements (an “Ancillary Contract”) and such Ancillary Contract does not by its terms expire or terminate on and as of the Termination Date, then the Parties shall promptly negotiate and enter into with each service provider thereunder such instruments or other documentation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parties, pursuant to which as of the Termination Date (i) such Ancillary Contract shall be assigned to the Company or shall be terminated, (ii) all rights and obligations of Aron with respect to each then outstanding Ancillary Contract shall be assigned to the Company, (iii) the Company shall assume all of such obligations to be paid or performed following such termination, and (iv) Aron shall be released by the third party service providers thereunder and the Company from any further obligations with respect to such Ancillary Contract.

reimburse Aron for any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Aron in connection with its endeavoring to effect such agreement and acknowledgement. Any historical capacity held by Aron that does not constitute Related Pipeline Capacity shall be retained by Aron. In addition, if despite Aron’s commercially reasonable efforts, a Pipeline System will not effect or permit such transfer or the portion of Aron’s historical pipeline capacity constitute Related Pipeline Capacity cannot be identified or allocated, no transfer shall be required with respect to such Pipeline System.

(d) The volume of Crude Oil and Products at the Included Locations shall be purchased and transferred to the Company as contemplated in the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement. The Crude Oil volumes measured by the Independent Inspection Company at the Termination Date and recorded in the Independent Inspection Company’s final inventory report shall be the “Termination Date Crude Oil Volumes” for the purposes of this Agreement and the Product volumes measured by the Independent Inspection Company at the Termination Date and recorded in the Independent Inspection Company’s final inventory report shall be the “Termination Date Product Volumes” for purposes of this Agreement, and such Termination Date Crude Oil Volumes and Termination Date Product Volumes shall collectively be referred to as the “Termination Date Volumes”. The volume of Crude Oil and Products at the Specified Lien Location shall be measured, determined and reported on in the same manner and on the same basis at the Termination Date as the volumes in the Included Locations and such volume determination shall be used for determining the final amount due from the Company Parties to Aron with respect to the Lien Amount.

(g) Promptly after all obligations due to Aron under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents have been satisfied in full, Aron shall release and return to the Company each of the Guarantee and the S&O Party Guarantee and surrender and confirm the cancellation of any Qualified LCs then held by Aron.

20.2 Termination Amount.

(a) The “Termination Amount” shall equal:

(i) the Termination Date Purchase Value, which is the aggregate amount payable to Aron under the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement, plus

(ii) all unpaid amounts payable hereunder by the Company to Aron in respect of Crude Oil delivered on or prior to the Termination Date (including Deferred Interim Payment Amount), plus

(iii) all Ancillary Costs incurred through the Termination Date that have not yet been paid or reimbursed by the Company, plus

(iv) in the case of an early termination (except for an early termination resulting solely from a Regulatory Termination Notice given by Aron where Aron has not make a concurrent election under Section 9.6(b) above), the amount reasonably determined by Aron as the losses, costs and damages (in each case that are commercially reasonable and for which Aron is able to provide to the Company reasonable supporting evidence) it incurred or realized as a result of Aron’s terminating, liquidating, maintaining, obtaining or reestablishing any hedge or related trading positions in connection with such early termination, plus

(v) the aggregate amount due under Section 10.2(a), calculated as of the Termination Date with such date being the final day of the last monthly period for which such calculations are to be made under this Agreement; provided that, if such amount under Section 10.2(a) is due to Aron, then such amount will be included in this Termination Amount as a positive number and if such amount under Section 10.2(a) would be an Interim Reset Amount it shall be due to the Company and included in this Termination Amount as a negative number, plus

(vi) any unpaid portion of the Annual Fee or other fees owed to Aron pursuant to Section 10.3, plus

(vii) any FIFO Balance Final Settlement that is determined to be due pursuant to Schedule N; provided that, if such FIFO Balance Final Settlement is due to Aron, then such amount will be included in this Termination Amount as a positive number and if such amount under Section 10.2(a) would be due to the Company, then such amount will be included in this Termination Amount as a negative number, minus

(viii) the Lien Amounts previously paid or advanced by Aron, including any fees, expenses and other costs associated therewith pursuant to Article 11,

(ix) all unpaid amounts payable hereunder by Aron to the Company in respect of Product delivered on or prior to the Termination Date, and

(x) all amounts due from Aron to the Company under the Marketing and Sales Agreement for services provided up to the Termination Date.

Without duplication of the foregoing, the Termination Amount shall include all amounts due from one party to the other specified on Schedule BB hereto; provided that the Estimated Termination Amount shall include (A) all such amounts due from the Company to Aron and (B) the Non-Holdback Portion, if any, as determined in Section 20.2(b) below and due from Aron to the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the Estimated Termination Amount shall not include the Termination Holdback Amount. 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 will not be able to be definitively determined by the Termination Date and therefore agree that Aron shall, in a commercially reasonable manner, estimate each of such components and use such estimated components to determine an estimate of the Termination Amount (the “Estimated Termination Amount”) plus such additional amount which Aron shall reasonably determine (the “Termination Holdback Amount”); provided that the Termination Holdback Amount shall be such portion of the total of all amounts due from Aron to the Company that are listed on Schedule BB hereto (the “Maximum Holdback Amount”) as Aron deems appropriate in its commercially reasonable judgment based on the estimation process set forth herein; provided further that, if the Maximum Holdback Amount exceeds the Termination Holdback Amount, such excess shall be referred to as the “Non-Holdback Portion” hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties agree that the amount due under Section 20.2(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 applying the “Step-Out Values” as indicated on Schedule B and other price terms provided for herein with respect to the purchase of the Termination Date Volumes. 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 12:00 noon CPT on the Business Day prior to the Termination Date. If Aron is able to provide such updated amount, that amount shall constitute the Estimated Termination Amount and shall be due and payable by no later than 5:00 p.m., CPT on the Business Day preceding the Termination Date. Otherwise, the initial Estimated Termination Amount shall be the amount payable on the Termination Date. If the 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) Aron shall prepare, and provide the Company with, (i) a statement showing the calculation, as of the Termination Date, of the Termination Amount, (ii) a statement (the “Termination Reconciliation Statement”) reconciling the Termination Amount with the sum of the Estimated Termination Amount pursuant to Section 20.2(b) and the Termination Holdback Amount 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 such payment, Aron shall cause any filing or recording of any UCC financing forms to be terminated.

20.3 Transition 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.

21.3 The 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 Authority or private entity), nor shall they be considered an admission of liability or responsibility for any purposes other than those enumerated in the Transaction Documents.
