PRICING, BILLING AND REIMBURSEMENT
5.1Reimbursement for Personnel Duties, Company Services and Ancillary.
Company Services. The Operator shall reimburse the Company for all third-party costs and expenses incurred by any of the Company Parties in connection with the performance by the Seconded Employees of the Personnel Duties, or the Company’s employees of the Company Services and the Ancillary Company Services (including any Overhead Expenses) and if mutually agreeable to the Parties shall cause any third-party service providers to invoice the Operator Parties directly in connection with the performance of any Personnel Duties by such third party or the performance of any Company Service or Ancillary Company Services by such third party. The Operator shall reimburse the Company for all taxes (other than property taxes, ad valorem taxes, income taxes, gross receipt taxes, payroll taxes and other similar taxes) that the Company incurs on the Operator Parties’ behalf for the performance by the Seconded Employees of the Personnel Duties, or the Company’s employees of the Company Services and the Ancillary Company Services, unless prohibited by Applicable Law; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company charge or be entitled to pass-through costs that (i) result from any criminal act, willful misconduct or negligence of the Company or any of its agents, employees or representatives, or (ii) are in the nature of fines, late fees, penalties, interest or similar obligations that could have been avoided by the Company in the exercise of Prudent Industry Practice. If the Operator is exempt from the payment of any taxes allocated to it under this Section 5.1, the Operator shall furnish the Company with the proper exemption certificates.
5.2Annual Fee. In addition to reimbursement under Section 5.1, the Operator shall pay to the Company an annual fee for the services as set forth herein and in connection with the provision of certain utilities and other infrastructure-related services equal to $8,587,000 (the “Annual Fee”) payable in equal monthly installments in accordance with Section 5.3, commencing in the first month following the Commencement Date. The Annual Fee for the 2018 fiscal year shall be prorated based on the number of days from the Commencement Date to December 31, 2018. At the end of each calendar year, the Company will have the right to submit to the Operator a proposal to increase the amount of the Annual Fee for the upcoming year if the Company believes, in good faith, that for the services as set forth herein, the utilities and other infrastructure-related services performed by the Company Parties for the benefit of the Operator Parties for the upcoming year justify payment greater than the Annual Fee for such year. If the Company submits such a proposal to the Operator, the Operator agrees that it will negotiate in good faith with the Company to determine if the Annual Fee for the upcoming year should be increased and, if so, the amount of such increase. If the Parties cannot agree to the amount of an increase in the Annual Fee for that year, then the increase amount shall become an Arbitrable Dispute and governed in accordance with Section 22.3. Until the Parties are able to agree on the Annual Fee increase amount, if any, the
15
Annual Fee for the preceding year shall continue to be the applicable fee and any subsequent increase decided upon shall be applied retroactively to the start of the year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Annual Fee will increase by (i) an amount of $65,716 on the Paulsboro Commercial Operation Date for Tank S-48, (ii) an amount of $65,716 on the Paulsboro Commercial Operation Date for Tank S-51, (iii) an amount of $65,716 on the Paulsboro Commercial Operation Date for Tank S-52 and (iv) an amount of $30,000 on the Toledo Commercial Operation Date.
5.3Billing. The Company shall provide monthly invoices to the Operator for all reimbursements payable under this Agreement and the Operator shall reimburse the Company as specified in the monthly invoices within ten (10) days after its receipt of such invoice; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no reimbursements shall be made hereunder to the extent such reimbursements are made pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement. The Company shall also include in such monthly invoices the applicable amount of the Annual Fee owed by the Operator and the Operator shall pay the Annual Fee as specified in the monthly invoices within ten (10) days after its receipt of such invoice. Any past due reimbursements or fees owed to the Company hereunder shall accrue interest, payable on demand, at the Prime Rate plus 400 basis points from the due date of the reimbursement or fee through the actual date of reimbursement or payment of the fee. Reimbursement or payment of any fee pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company. If any such reimbursement or fee shall be due and payable on a day that is not a Business Day, such reimbursement or fee shall be due and payable on the next succeeding Business Day. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Company shall have up to thirty (30) days after the end of a calendar quarter to issue an invoice to true-up all amounts owed by each party under this Agreement during the calendar quarter so ended.
5.4Contents of Invoices. Any invoice delivered by the Company to the Operator pursuant to Section 5.3 above shall set forth in detail the Company’s calculation of the charges for the Personnel Duties, the Company Services and the Ancillary Company Services, and shall be accompanied by information reasonably sufficient for the Operator to determine the accuracy of such invoice.
5.5Reimbursement Disputes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 5, if the Operator in good faith disputes the correctness of any invoice submitted by the Company, the Operator shall promptly submit to the Company a written statement detailing the specific items disputed and shall reimburse the undisputed portion of the invoice within the time period specified for reimbursement hereunder. Any disputed items shall be subject to the dispute resolution procedures in Article 22, and any reimbursement determined to be due pursuant to said dispute resolution shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus 400 basis points from the date on which said reimbursement otherwise would have been payable hereunder to the date such reimbursement is actually received by the Company.

Company Services, the Company may notify the Operator in writing of its desire to have the Operator pay for the Operator’s applicable portion of the cost of such Capital Expenditure.
(b)If within sixty (60) days after the Company provides the written notice requesting Capital Expenditures the Parties have not reached agreement on the need for such Capital Expenditures, then the matter shall become an Arbitrable Dispute and governed in accordance with Article 22. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company’s Capital Expenditures are not approved, and the Company chooses to make such Capital Expenditures, the Company agrees to bear all costs associated therewith.
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in lieu of participating in the Capital Expenditures the Operator may choose at any time to terminate all of the Personnel Duties, Company Services and the Ancillary Company Services related to such Capital Expenditure.

ARTICLE 22
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
26
22.1Procedure. In the event a dispute arises between the Company Parties and the Operator Parties regarding the application or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement, the Parties agree to use the procedures in this Article 22 to resolve any such disputes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, either Party may seek a restraining order, temporary injunction, or other provisional judicial relief if the Party in its sole judgment believes that such action is necessary to avoid irreparable injury or to preserve the status quo. The Parties will continue to participate in good faith in the procedures in this Article 22 despite any request for provisional relief.
22.2Initial Resolution Attempts. Either Party may initiate the dispute resolution procedures by sending written notice to the Counterparty specifically stating the complaining Party’s claim and requesting dispute resolution in accordance with this Article 22. The applicable statute of limitations shall be tolled as of the date of such written notice. No Event of Default shall occur if the subject matter underlying such potential Event of Default is the subject matter of any dispute that is pending resolution or arbitration under this Article 22 until such time that such dispute is resolved in accordance with this Article 22.
(a)Within fourteen (14) days after the complaining Party delivers the complaint, the Services Council shall hold a meeting to resolve the dispute.
(b)If the matter has not been resolved by the Services Council within thirty (30) days of notice being delivered in accordance with Section 22.2(a), unless the Services Council agrees to a longer period of time, the dispute shall become an Arbitrable Dispute and become subject to Section 22.3.
22.3Arbitration. Any and all Arbitrable Disputes (except to the extent injunctive relief is sought) shall be resolved through the use of binding arbitration using, in the case of an Arbitrable Dispute involving a dispute of an amount equal to or greater than $1,000,000 or non-monetary relief, three arbitrators, and in the case of an Arbitrable Dispute involving a dispute of an amount less than $1,000,000, one arbitrator, in each case in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as supplemented to the extent necessary to determine any procedural appeal questions by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code). If there is any inconsistency between this Article 22 and the Commercial Arbitration Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of this Article 22 shall control the rights and obligations of the Parties. Arbitration must be initiated within the time limits set forth in this Agreement, or if no such limits apply, then within a reasonable time or the time period allowed by the applicable statute of limitations. Arbitration may be initiated by a Party (“Claimant”) serving written notice on the other Party (“Respondent”) that Claimant elects to refer the Arbitrable Dispute to binding arbitration. Claimant’s notice initiating binding arbitration must identify the arbitrator Claimant has appointed. Respondent shall respond to Claimant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Claimant’s notice, identifying the arbitrator Respondent has appointed. If Respondent fails for any reason to name an arbitrator within the 30-day period, Claimant shall petition the American Arbitration Association for appointment of an arbitrator for Respondent’s account. The two arbitrators so chosen shall select a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the second arbitrator has been appointed, and, in the case of an Arbitrable Dispute involving a dispute of an amount less than $1,000,000, such third arbitrator shall act as the sole arbitrator, and the sole role of the first two arbitrators shall be to appoint such third arbitrator. Claimant shall pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it, and Respondent shall pay the compensation and
27
expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it. The costs of petitioning for the appointment of an arbitrator, if any, shall be paid by Respondent. Claimant and Respondent shall each pay one-half of the compensation and expenses of the third arbitrator. All arbitrators must (a) be neutral parties who have never been officers, directors or employees of the Operator, the Company or any of their Affiliates and (b) have not less than seven (7) years’ experience in the energy industry. The hearing shall be conducted in the State of Delaware or the Philadelphia Metropolitan area and commence within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third arbitrator. The Company, the Operator and the arbitrators shall proceed diligently and in good faith in order that the award may be made as promptly as possible. Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the decision of the arbitrators shall be binding on and non-appealable by the Parties hereto. The arbitrators shall have no right to grant or award Special Damages. Notwithstanding anything herein the contrary, the Company may not dispute any amounts with respect to an invoice delivered in accordance with Article 5 that the Company has not objected to within one hundred twenty (120) days of receipt thereof.
ARTICLE 23
GENERAL
23.1Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid and effective under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith with a view to substitute for such provision a suitable and equitable solution in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.
23.2Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Omnibus Agreement together constitute the entire agreement among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings of the Parties in connection therewith. No promise, representation or inducement has been made by any of the Parties concerning the subject matter of this Agreement and none of the Parties shall be bound by or liable for any alleged representation, promise or inducement not so set forth.
23.3Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to all aspects of each Party’s performance of any obligations under this Agreement.
23.4No Third-Party Beneficiaries. It is expressly understood that the provisions of this Agreement do not impart enforceable rights in anyone who is not a Party or successor or permitted assignee of a Party.
23.5Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each signatory Party hereto agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments and to perform such additional acts as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, carry out and perform all of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and all such transactions.
23.6Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf)) for the convenience of the Parties hereto,
28
each of which counterparts will be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together will constitute one and the same agreement.
