(c)Proposed Macquarie Crude Procurement Contracts. From time to time during the Term of this Agreement, Fuels or LW may propose that one or more additional Macquarie Crude Procurement Contracts be entered into, including any such additional Macquarie Crude Procurement Contract as may, with Fuels’ or LW’s prior written consent, be entered into in connection with the expiration of an outstanding Macquarie Crude Procurement Contract. If the Parties mutually agree in writing to seek additional Macquarie Crude Procurement Contracts, then Fuels or LW shall endeavor to identify quantities of Crude Oil that may be acquired from one or more Third Party Suppliers under contracts that provide
for one or more shipment(s) of Crude Oil. Fuels and LW may negotiate with any such Third Party Supplier regarding the price and other terms of such potential additional Macquarie Crude Procurement Contract. Neither Fuels nor LW shall have any authority to bind Macquarie to, or enter into on Macquarie’s behalf, any additional Macquarie Crude Procurement Contract, and neither Fuels nor LW shall represent to any third party that it has such authority. If Fuels or LW has negotiated an offer from a Third Party Supplier for an additional Macquarie Crude Procurement Contract that Fuels or LW wishes to be executed, Fuels or LW shall apprise Macquarie in writing, using the applicable trade sheet included in Schedule Q, of the terms of such offer, and Macquarie shall promptly, but no later than two (2) Business Days after Fuels’ or LW’s delivery of such applicable trade sheet, determine and advise Fuels and LW as to whether Macquarie desires to accept such offer. If Macquarie indicates its desire to accept such offer, then Macquarie shall promptly endeavor to formally communicate its acceptance of such offer to Fuels and LW and such Third Party Supplier so that the Third Party Supplier and Macquarie may enter into a binding additional Macquarie Crude Procurement Contract on terms agreeable to Macquarie. In the event Macquarie does not respond within such two (2) Business Days, Macquarie shall be deemed to have declined to enter into such Macquarie Crude Procurement Contract. If any Macquarie Crude Procurement Contract is a term contract pursuant to which Macquarie may, from time to time, nominate a shipment by a Nomination Cutoff Date for expected delivery during a designated month, Macquarie shall apprise Fuels and LW of such timing requirements relating to such Nomination Cutoff Date.
(d)Macquarie’s Right to Reject Macquarie Crude Procurement Contracts.

7.1Target Inventory Levels. Monthly inventory targets for Crude Oil and Products shall be set pursuant to this Article 7. Such monthly inventory targets for Crude Oil and Products shall be subject to the minimum and maximum inventory levels set forth in Schedule D for each Pricing Group, which minimum inventory levels shall be satisfied by the procurement of Crude Oil and Products in accordance with the terms hereof. Fuels and LW represent and warrant that the respective Target Month End Crude Volumes and Target Month End Product Volumes that LW sets for each month during the Term hereof shall be LW’s good faith estimate (which is not a guarantee of actual performance), at the time it sets such targets, of the Ending In-Tank Crude Inventory and the Ending In-Tank Product Inventories at the end of such month.
7.2Target Month End Crude Volume.
(a)Projected Monthly Run Volume. By no later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the month preceding each Delivery Month, LW shall notify Macquarie of the aggregate quantity of Crude Oil that LW expects to run at the Refinery during such Delivery Month (the “Projected Monthly Run Volume”). Macquarie shall have the right to reject any Projected Monthly Run Volume; provided, however, that in the event Macquarie does not reject the same within one (1) Business Day after receiving the Projected Monthly Run Volume, Macquarie shall be deemed to have accepted the same. In the event Macquarie timely rejects any Projected Monthly Run Volume, the Parties will meet not later than the following day to agree upon a mutually agreeable alternative.
(b)Constraints on Target Month End Crude Volume. In establishing a Target Month End Crude Volume, the Parties acknowledge that any increase in a Target Month End Crude Volume is constrained to the extent that (i) the Crude Oil available for delivery under the Macquarie Crude Procurement Contracts with Third Party Suppliers, plus (ii) Other Barrels available for delivery during such month are not intended to be greater than Fuels’ and LW’s Crude Oil requirements for the Refinery for the month related to such Target Month End Crude Volume.
(c)Adjustments to Target Month End Crude Volume. The Parties may, by mutual agreement, adjust the Target Month End Crude Volume for any month. Any change to a Target Month End Crude Volume shall affect only the subject month and does not impact the calculation of the Target Month End Crude Volume in subsequent months.

(a)[Intentionally Omitted.]
(b)Target Month End Product Volume; Applicable Range. Subject to events of Force Majeure, facility turnarounds, the performance of any third parties (including purchasers of Products under the Marketing and Sales Agreement), LW shall, in establishing each Target Month End Product Volume, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Target Month End Product Volume to be within the applicable range specified for such Product on Schedule D.
(c)Changes to Target Month End Product Volume. At any time prior to the beginning of the month to which a Target Month End Product Volume relates, the Parties may, by mutual agreement, change such Target Month End Product Volume.
(d)Target Month End Product Volume Adjusted for Additional Product Transactions. For any calendar month in which quantities of Products are delivered by Macquarie under one or more Additional Product Transactions entered into during such month pursuant to the Marketing and Sales Agreement, the Target Month End Product Volume of any such Product for the end of such month shall be reduced by the aggregate net quantity of such Product so delivered to the extent such Additional Product Transactions are entered into after such Target Month End Product Volume is established.
7.4Differential Adjustments. Promptly following each Differential Adjustment Month, Macquarie shall review the data for such Differential Adjustment Month and calculate whether, based on such data, an adjustment to any of the Crude Oil or Product Differentials is appropriate; provided that, if Macquarie or Fuels or LW determines in its reasonable judgment that the data for such Differential Adjustment Month do not provide a representative basis for such determination (due to anomalies, distortions or other factors identified by Macquarie), such Party shall propose an adjusted Crude Oil or Product Differentials. In the event the Parties mutually agree to the proposed adjusted Crude Oil or Product Differentials, the same shall become applicable commencing with the month immediately following such Differential Adjustment Month; provided, however, that in the event no such mutual agreement is made, the Crude Oil or Product Differentials set forth on Schedule B shall be adjusted in accordance with the methodology outlined on Schedule B. The Crude Oil or Product Differentials shall be updated as set forth on Schedule B on the first (1st) Business Day of the Differential Adjustment Month, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the Parties.
7.5[Reserved]
7.6[Reserved]
7.7Monthly Cover Costs.
(a)Monthly Product Cover Costs.

If Macquarie determines that any Monthly Product Cover Costs are due to it, Macquarie shall promptly communicate such determination to Fuels or LW and, subject to any mitigation of such costs actually achieved by Fuels or LW, include the calculation of such amount in the documentation provided to Fuels or LW for the relevant period pursuant to Section 10.2 and such Monthly Product Cover Costs shall be incorporated as a component of the Monthly True-Up Amount due for such period hereunder. If, for any month (or portion thereof), Macquarie determines that, as a result of LW’s failure to produce the quantities of Product projected under this Agreement or LW’s failure to comply with its obligations under the Marketing and Sales Agreement, Macquarie retains insufficient quantities of Product to comply with its obligations to Fuels or LW, under any Company Agreements or otherwise pursuant to Section 2.6 of the Marketing and Sales Agreement, Fuels and LW shall be solely responsible for covering any delivery obligations to third parties or the shortfall in the quantity held for such third parties in connection with Fuels or LW’s Product Marketing Operations (as defined in the Marketing and Sales Agreement).
(b)Monthly Crude Cover Costs. If, for any month (or portion thereof), Macquarie reasonably determines that, as a result of Fuels or LW’s failure to sell Macquarie the quantities of Refinery Procured Crude Barrels projected under this Agreement, regardless of how caused (including any event of Force Majeure), Macquarie retains insufficient quantities of Crude Oil to comply with its obligations to any third parties and Macquarie incurs any additional out of pocket costs and expenses or related damages in procuring and transporting Crude Oil from other sources for purposes of covering such delivery obligations or the shortfall in the quantity held for its account (collectively, “Monthly Crude Cover Costs”), then Fuels and LW shall be obliged, jointly and severally, to reimburse Macquarie for such Monthly Crude Cover Costs. If Macquarie determines that any Monthly Crude Cover Costs are due to it, Macquarie shall promptly communicate such determination to Fuels or LW and, subject to any mitigation of such costs actually achieved by Fuels or LW, include the calculation of such amount in the documentation provided to Fuels or LW for the relevant period pursuant to Section 10.2 and such Monthly Crude Cover Costs shall be incorporated as a component of the Monthly True-Up Amount due for such period hereunder. If, for any month (or portion thereof), Macquarie determines that, as a result of Fuels or LW’s failure to sell Macquarie the quantities of Refinery Procured Crude Barrels projected under this Agreement, Macquarie retains insufficient quantities of Crude Oil to comply with
its obligations to Fuels and LW, Fuels and LW shall be solely responsible for covering any delivery obligations to third parties or to Fuels or LW.
7.8Costs Related to Shortfall.
(a)Costs Related to Shortfall of Product. To the extent that Macquarie is required to cover, pursuant to an Included Sales Transaction, any shortfall in any Product delivery, which shortfall arises as a result of the failure by Fuels or LW to produce, store or deliver when due such Product of the correct quality and quantity, using any inventory Macquarie owns and acquires separately from the inventory owned and maintained in connection with this Agreement, regardless of how caused (including any event of Force Majeure), any out of pocket cost or loss (excluding lost profits) incurred by Macquarie in connection therewith that is not otherwise included as a Monthly Product Cover Cost shall constitute an Ancillary Cost that is to be reimbursed to Macquarie.
(b)Costs Related to Shortfall of Crude Oil. To the extent that Macquarie is required to cover, under a transaction with Fuels or LW or a third party, any shortfall in any Crude Oil delivery, which shortfall arises as a result of the failure by Fuels or LW to store or deliver when due Crude Oil of the correct quality and quantity, using any inventory Macquarie owns and acquires separately from the inventory owned and maintained in connection with this Agreement, regardless of how caused (including any event of Force Majeure), any out of pocket cost or loss (excluding lost profits) incurred by Macquarie in connection therewith that is not otherwise included as a Monthly Crude Cover Cost shall constitute an Ancillary Cost that is to be reimbursed to Macquarie.
7.9Excess Target Levels. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which LW is obligated to establish the Target Month End Crude Volume or the Target Month End Product Volumes for any month, LW may request that Macquarie agree to a level for any of the foregoing that exceeds that applicable maximum level set forth on Schedule D (an “Excess Inventory Level”); provided that such request may be for only such month or for a period of two (2) or more consecutive months starting with such month, as LW shall specify in its request. If such request is made in a timely manner, Macquarie shall promptly review such request and advise LW as to whether Macquarie accepts or rejects such Excess Inventory Level; provided that, Macquarie is under no obligation to accept any such request. If Macquarie accepts any request for an Excess Inventory Level, then for all purposes of this Agreement and in lieu of the relevant level set forth on Schedule D, such Excess Inventory Level shall constitute the maximum inventory level for the relevant Product Group for the period specified in such request; provided that, after such period, the applicable level set forth on Schedule D shall be in effect for purposes of this Agreement. If Macquarie rejects any such request, then the applicable level set forth on Schedule D shall continue in effect, unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Parties in writing.
7.10Excess Inventory Levels.
(a)Excess Quantity. If, at any time, either Party determines, with respect to any Product Group, that the aggregate quantity of such Product Group being held in the Included Locations or the Specified Company Locations exceeds the maximum inventory level set
forth on Schedule D for such Product Group in the Included Locations or the Specified Company Locations (such excess, an “Excess Quantity”), such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence and volume of such Excess Quantity. Within three (3) Business Days after such notice is given, Macquarie shall advise LW as to whether Macquarie accepts such Excess Quantity (in which case Section 7.10(b) shall apply) or rejects such Excess Quantity (in which case Section 7.10(c) shall apply).
(b)Response for Excess Quantity. If Macquarie accepts an Excess Quantity then, for all purposes of this Agreement, such Excess Quantity shall constitute the maximum Excess Inventory Level for the relevant Product Group for the Included Locations or the Specified Company Locations (as the case may be) for the balance of the month in which such Excess Quantity was first identified and, at Macquarie’s option, for such additional month or months as Macquarie may specify; provided that if Macquarie does not accept such Excess Quantity for any additional month or months, such Excess Quantity shall only be in effect for the then current month and if such Excess Quantity remains after the end of such current month, the provisions of this Section 7.10 shall apply anew as of the beginning the following month.
(c)Disposal of Excess Quantity. If Macquarie rejects an Excess Quantity then, for purposes of determining amounts due under Sections 10.1 and 10.2 of this Agreement, such Excess Quantity shall not be counted as Crude Oil or Products being held at an Included Location or Specified Company Location. In such case, if LW is able to segregate in one or more Included Tanks or tanks at Specified Company Locations a quantity of the relevant Product Group at least equal to such Excess Quantity, LW may, at its option, elect to designate such Included Tanks or other tanks and purchase from Macquarie the segregated quantity of such Product Group held in such designated Included Tanks so that the quantity of such Product Group owned by Macquarie (in the case of an Excess Quantity relating to the Included Location) would not exceed the applicable maximum inventory level set forth on Schedule D for the relevant Product Group for the Included Locations or the Specified Company Locations (as the case may be) after giving effect to such purchase or removal, at a price or value determined pursuant to the applicable provisions of Article 10. After settlement of such purchase or removal, such Included Tanks shall no longer constitute Included Locations or such other tanks shall no longer constitute Specified Company Locations for purposes hereof unless and until Macquarie determines, in its reasonable discretion, that Macquarie’s ownership of the quantities held in such tanks would not result, as of the time of such determination, in the aggregate quantity of the relevant Product Group owned by Macquarie exceeding the applicable maximum inventory level set forth on Schedule D. If and when such determination is made, the Parties shall confirm the sale by Fuels or LW to Macquarie of the quantities held in such Included Tanks at the prices or values that would then apply to additional volumes under Article 10 hereof and upon the settlement of such purchase or inclusion, such Included Tanks or other tanks shall thereafter again constitute Included Locations or Specified Company Locations for all purposes hereof.

Such reimbursement shall occur from time to time upon demand of Macquarie to Fuels and LW. When making such demand, Macquarie shall promptly provide Fuels and LW with copies of any relevant trade tickets, invoices or other supporting documentation for Ancillary Costs incurred by Macquarie.
(c)To the extent Fuels and LW have not paid or reimbursed Macquarie for any Ancillary Costs then outstanding and payable with respect to any month or any adjustments or refunds have occurred with respect to any Ancillary Costs previously paid or reimbursed, Macquarie may include in the Monthly True-Up Amount for such month as a separate line item on the applicable Monthly True-Up Amount invoice an amount to compensate the Parties, as appropriate, for such items.
(d)From time to time upon the reasonable request of either Party, the Parties shall consult to assess whether (i) Ancillary Costs actually being incurred are consistent with the expectations of the Parties and the terms of this Agreement, (ii) procedures for paying, handling or otherwise dealing with Ancillary Costs can be improved or should be modified, (iii) documentation relating to substantiation of Ancillary Costs is sufficient and (iv) in any other respect the processing of Ancillary Costs hereunder can or improved or modified.
9.2Month End Inventory.
(a)Ending Inventory.
(i)By 12:00 p.m. EST on the first Business day of any Delivery Month, LW, using Best Available Inventory Data, provided that if such inventory data is not available, using the last day for which such data is available, shall report to Macquarie the following: (i) the aggregate volume of Crude Oil held in the Crude Storage Tanks at that time (the “Ending In-Tank Crude Inventory”), (ii) the aggregate amount of Crude Oil held in Specified Company Locations at that time (the “Ending Company Crude Inventory”), (iii) for each Product, the aggregate volume of such Product held in the Included Product Locations at that time (each, an “Ending In-Tank Product Inventory”) and (iv) for each Product, the aggregate volume of such Product held in the Specified Company Locations at that time (each, an “Ending Company Product Inventory”).
(ii)As of 11:59:59 p.m., EST, on the last day of each month, LW shall apply the Volume Determination Procedures to the Included Locations, and based thereon shall determine for such month (i) the aggregate volume of Crude Oil held in the Crude Storage Tanks at that time, (ii) the aggregate amount of Crude Oil held in Specified Company Locations at that time, (iii) for each Product, the aggregate volume of such Product held in the Included Product Locations at that time and (iv) for each Product, the aggregate volume of such Product held in the Specified Company Locations at that time. LW shall notify Macquarie of such volumes by no later than 5:00 p.m., EST on the fifth Business Day thereafter, except that with respect to volume information provided by third parties, LW shall endeavor to cause third parties to provide such information to Macquarie by the fifteenth (15th) day after the end of such month.
(b)Inspection of Volume Determination Procedures. Macquarie may, or may have Macquarie’s Inspector, at Macquarie’s sole cost and expense, witness all or any aspects of the Refinery Facilities or Included Products Pipeline as Macquarie shall direct. If, in the reasonable judgment of Macquarie or Macquarie’s Inspector, the Volume Determination Procedures have not been applied correctly, then LW shall cooperate with Macquarie, or Macquarie’s Inspector, to ensure the correct application of the Volume Determination Procedures, including making such revisions to the Ending In-Tank Crude Inventory, Ending Company Crude Inventory, any Ending In-Tank Product Inventory and any Ending Company Product Inventory as may be necessary to correct any such errors.

Fuels and LW agrees that in addition to reporting to Macquarie the volume determinations made by LW pursuant to Section 9.2(a), LW shall provide to Macquarie copies of all volume reports and statements related to Crude Oil or Products held at any Included Locations or Specified Company Locations or with respect to any hydrocarbon inventories held by Fuels or LW at any other locations including any inventory, quantity, or quality inspection reports prepared by a third party.
(d)[Reserved]
9.3Disposition Following Force Majeure.
(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if Macquarie decides or is required, due to an event of Force Majeure affecting either Party or otherwise, 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 or Weekly Crude Projection, Macquarie would reasonably have expected to have sold to Fuels or LW (any quantity of Crude Oil so disposed of by Macquarie being referred to as a “Disposed Quantity”), then Fuels or LW shall be obligated to pay to Macquarie an amount equal to the difference between the price at which such Disposed Quantity would have been sold to Fuels or LW, minus the amount realized in the sale to a third party (the “Disposition Amount”); provided, however, prior to Macquarie making any such disposition and provided that no Event of Default with respect to Fuels or LW has occurred and is continuing, Fuels and LW shall have a period equal to the lesser of (i) ten (10) Business Days from the occurrence of such Force Majeure event or (ii) the remaining time period before an event of default would occur under the contracts relevant to the Disposed Quantity as a result of such Force Majeure event, in which to sell or transfer such Disposed Quantity on commercially reasonable terms and conditions acceptable to Macquarie. In no event shall the Disposed Quantity exceed the aggregate amount of Crude Oil required for the projected refinery operations during and following an event of Force Majeure based on projections mutually agreed to by the Parties.
(b)In connection with its selling any Disposed Quantity, Macquarie shall promptly determine the Disposition Amount and issue to Fuels or LW an invoice for such amount. Fuels and LW shall pay to Macquarie 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 Macquarie shall pay the amount of such excess to Fuels or LW no later than the second Business Day after the date of such invoice.
(c)In connection with any disposition by Macquarie permitted by this Section 9.3, Macquarie shall endeavor, in good faith, to consult with Fuels or LW regarding, and keep Fuels or LW apprised of Macquarie’s negotiations relating to, such disposition so long as, in Macquarie’s commercially reasonable judgment, doing so does not materially and adversely affect Macquarie’s ability to execute such disposition in an expeditious and reasonably efficient manner.
9.4Tank and Pipeline Maintenance.
(a)Promptly after LW completes its annual business plan with respect to any year, LW shall notify Macquarie of any tank maintenance contemplated with respect to such year that would result in any Crude Storage Tank, Included Product Tanks or Included Product Pipelines being unavailable.
(b)Fuels and LW shall notify Macquarie orally (followed by prompt written notice) in the case of any Crude Storage Tank, Included Product Tanks or Included Product
Pipeline, as soon as practicable after either Fuels or LW has actual knowledge of any previously unscheduled downtime.
(c)LW shall provide to Macquarie at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any scheduled maintenance that Fuels, LW and/or any of its Affiliates intends to conduct on any of the Crude Storage Tanks or the Included Product Tanks that would result in such storage tank being taken out of service for a period greater than thirty (30) days (“Tank Maintenance”).
(d)In connection with any Tank Maintenance, the Parties shall promptly consult and endeavor to agree on adjusted inventory minimum and maximum levels and other appropriate adjustments hereunder that are to apply during the period of such Tank Maintenance, if deemed necessary by the Parties.
(e)LW agrees that it shall use its best 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. LW shall provide Macquarie with an initial estimate of the period of any Tank Maintenance and shall regularly update Macquarie as to the progress of such Tank Maintenance. If LW determines that the expected completion date for Tank Maintenance has or is likely to change by thirty (30) days or more, it shall promptly notify Macquarie of such determination.
9.5Certain Regulatory Matters.
(a)If Macquarie shall determine, in its reasonable judgment, that as a result of (i) the adoption or taking effect of any Applicable Law, (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) by any Governmental Authority or (iv) any interpretation of or proposal to implement any of the foregoing (each, a “Regulatory Event”), Macquarie is or would (A) not permitted to hold or own all or certain types of Crude Oil and/or Products, (B) be unable to perform in any material respect its obligations under this Agreement and/or the other Transaction Documents or (C) were it to continue to hold or own such Crude Oil and/or Product or perform such obligations, be or likely to be subject to additional or increased burdens or costs, then it shall notify Fuels or LW in writing of such determination and the Parties shall promptly consult in good faith to determine and assess 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. If the Parties identify actions or steps that, in Macquarie’s reasonable judgment, can be implemented without resulting in Macquarie incurring any additional costs, expenses hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents while preserving the economic terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including economic benefits, risk allocation, costs and liabilities), then the Parties shall, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, endeavor to implement such actions and steps. If the Parties are unable to identify such actions or steps or are unable to implement any actions and steps that have been so identified, then Macquarie may, so long as such Regulatory Event continues, by written notice to Fuels or LW, elect to
terminate this Agreement in the manner provided for in Article 20 on such date as Macquarie shall specify in such notice, which date shall constitute a Termination Date for purposes of Article 20; provided however, that (unless such Regulatory Event has or is expected to become mandatorily effective at an earlier date, in which event termination shall be effective at such earlier date) the date specified in such notice shall occur at least 120 days after the date such notice is delivered to Fuels or LW and if practicable on the last day of a month.
(b)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, following the occurrence of a Regulatory Event Macquarie may, in its sole discretion, elect to propose to modify this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions subject hereto and thereto so that Macquarie shall not be the owner of any Hydrocarbons held at Included Locations and that instead all Hydrocarbons held at Included Locations shall constitute Hydrocarbon Credit Support and all Included Locations shall constitute Specified Company Locations, and if Macquarie makes such election, then Fuels or LW shall (and shall cause its Affiliates (other than Qualified Owners) 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 and waivers) as are necessary and appropriate in Macquarie’s judgment to implement such alternative structure; provided however, that (i) Fuels or LW shall not be obligated to execute such amendments and modifications and to take such actions unless such alternative structure as implemented preserves, in all material respects, the economic terms in effect prior to the execution of such implementation, including the pricing and minimum inventory levels applicable to those new Specified Company Locations that were previously Included Locations, and (ii) Fuels or LW may elect, in response to Macquarie’s proposed election to convert to an all Hydrocarbon Credit Support transaction (with no owned Hydrocarbons) as described above, or to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Article 20, such termination to be effective as provided in any written notice delivered by Fuels or LW to Macquarie.
In the event that either Fuels or LW or Macquarie elects, based on the occurrence of a Regulatory Event, to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 9.5, then for purposes of such termination the Specified Termination Amount shall be equal to zero.
ARTICLE 10
PAYMENT PROVISIONS
10.1Interim Payments.
(a)Macquarie Interim Payments. For each day, Macquarie shall calculate a provisional payment (each a “Macquarie Interim Payment”) by applying the applicable Daily Prices to the Daily Crude Purchases and Daily Product Purchases for that day, using Best Available Inventory Data; provided that if inventory data have not been reported on any day within a two (2) Business Day period, Macquarie shall use the inventory data for the day occurring during the thirty (30) day period preceding such day that results in the smallest Daily Crude Purchases and the smallest Daily Product Purchases (as the case may be), in any case resulting in an amount equal to the smallest daily amount that would be payable
to Macquarie; provided further that, if Macquarie determines (including without limitation after receipt of updated Best Available Inventory Data) that any inventory data it has used in such determination was inaccurate, then Macquarie shall adjust future Macquarie Interim Payments to take account of any corrected inventory data, and Macquarie shall notify Fuels or LW of such adjustment when made.
(b)Company Interim Payments.
(i)Company Interim Crude Payments.
(A)Company Interim Procurement Contract Crude Payment. For each day, Macquarie shall calculate a provisional payment (each a “Company Interim Procurement Contract Crude Payment”) by applying the applicable Macquarie Procurement Barrels Price to the Daily Crude Procurement Contract Sales for that day, using the measurement data taken at the applicable Macquarie Delivery Point. If Macquarie determines that any data it has used was inaccurate, then Macquarie shall adjust future Company Interim Procurement Contract Crude Payments to take account of any corrected data, and Macquarie shall notify Fuels or LW of such adjustment when made.
(B)Company Interim Tank Crude Payment. For each day, Macquarie shall calculate a provisional payment (each a “Company Interim Tank Crude Payment”) by applying the applicable Daily Prices to the Daily Crude Tanks Sales for that day, using Best Available Inventory Data; provided that if inventory data have not been reported on any day within a two (2) Business Day period, Macquarie shall use the inventory data for the day occurring during the thirty (30) day period preceding such day that results in the largest Daily Crude Tanks Sales, in any case resulting in an amount equal to the highest daily amount that would be payable to Macquarie; provided further that, if Macquarie determines (including without limitation after receipt of updated Best Available Inventory Data) that any inventory data it has used in such determination was inaccurate, then Macquarie shall adjust future Company Interim Tank Crude Payments to take account of any corrected inventory data, and Macquarie shall notify Fuels or LW of such adjustment when made.
(ii)Company Interim Product Payments. For each day, Macquarie shall calculate a provisional payment (each a “Company Interim Product Payment”) by applying the applicable Daily Prices to the Daily Product Sales for that day, using Best Available Inventory Data; provided that if inventory data have not been reported on any day within a two (2) Business Day period, Macquarie shall use the inventory data for the day occurring during the thirty (30) day period preceding such day that results in the largest Daily Product Sales, in any case resulting in an amount equal to the highest daily amount that would be payable to Macquarie; provided further that, if Macquarie determines that any inventory data it has used in such determination was materially inaccurate, then Macquarie shall adjust future Company Interim
Product Payments to take account of any corrected inventory data, and Macquarie shall notify Fuels or LW of such adjustment when made. In addition, to the extent that Macquarie determines, using Best Available Inventory Data, that there is negative production on any day with respect to any Product that is not the result of a sale of such Product to LW, Fuels or the SIP, Macquarie shall calculate a provisional payment with respect to such negative production, on the same terms and conditions as this Section 10.1(b)(ii), by applying the applicable Current Month Pricing Benchmark to the volume of negative production for such day, and such payment shall constitute a Company Interim Product Payment for all purposes of this Agreement.
(c)LW shall, at the end of each day, provide to Macquarie inventory reports in the form set forth on Schedule H, showing the quantity of (i) Crude Oil held in the Crude Storage Tanks, (x) Crude Oil that is Company Crude Inventory, (i) Products held in the Included Product Locations and (z) Products that are Company Product Inventory.

14.3In the event of a scheduled shutdown of the Refinery, Fuels or LW 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
(a)Subject to Section 14.4(b) below, if at any time Macquarie determines that all or any portion of the facilities constituting an Included Location (in each case, “Identified Facilities”) fail to satisfy Macquarie’s then applicable policies and procedures (such policies and procedures to be in reasonable accordance with and not to exceed industry, regulatory and customary practices) 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 refined products (“Macquarie’s Policies and Procedures”), and without limiting any other rights and remedies available to Macquarie hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, Macquarie may provide Fuels or LW notice of such failure so long as such failure is continuing and, if Macquarie provides such notice, the following provisions shall be applicable:
(i) in the case of any Identified Facilities that are subject to the Storage Facility Agreement, upon such date as Macquarie shall specify, but not less than two hundred seventy (270) days after the date such notice is delivered to LW (so as to allow to LW time to remedy the non-compliance or other failure or to find substitute financial arrangements), such Identified Facilities shall cease to constitute an Included Location (or part of an Included Location) for purposes hereof and any payment to Macquarie in respect of any Crude Oil or Products held in such Identified Facilities shall, unless such failure has been cured to the reasonable satisfaction of Macquarie, become due in accordance with the provisions of Article 10 hereof; and
(ii) in the case of any Identified Facilities that are subject to a Required Storage and Transportation Arrangement, the Parties shall endeavor, within not more than two hundred seventy (270) days after the date such notice is delivered to LW (so as to allow to LW time to remedy the non-compliance or other failure or to find substitute financial arrangements), to execute such rights, provide such notices, negotiate such reassignments or terminations and/or take such further actions as Macquarie deems necessary or appropriate to terminate Macquarie’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 Macquarie 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.

(i)Macquarie shall apply Macquarie’s Policies and Procedures with respect to the Included Locations in a non-discriminatory manner as compared with other similar storage tanks and pipeline facilities utilized by Macquarie in a similar manner;
(ii)If the failure of any Identified Facilities to satisfy Macquarie’s Policies and Procedures is a result of Macquarie’s Policies and Procedures exceeding the standards or requirements imposed under Applicable Law or good and prudent industry practice, then (1) Macquarie shall not require the removal of such Identified Facilities as Included Locations until the 270th day after giving LW written notice of such failure, (2) during such 270 day period, Macquarie shall consult with LW in good faith to determine whether based on further information provided by LW such Identified Facilities comply with Macquarie’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 Macquarie’s Policies and Procedures, and (3) if it is determined that such Identified Facilities do comply with Macquarie’s Policies and Procedures or, as a result of such additional actions or procedures, such Identified Facilities become so compliant within such 270 day period, then such Identified Facilities shall not cease to be Included Locations based on the noncompliance stated in Macquarie’s notice to LW;
(iii)If within the 270 day period referred to in clause (ii)(2) above, LW has identified and diligently commenced the implementation of additional actions or procedures that are intended to result in such Identified Facilities becoming compliant with Macquarie’s Policies and Procedures, but such implementation cannot through commercially reasonable efforts be completed within such 270 day period, then so long as LW continues to diligently and in a commercially reasonable manner pursue the implementation of such additional actions and procedures, Macquarie shall extend such 270 day period up for up to an additional ninety (90) days (or such longer period as the Parties may mutually agree) to allow for such implementation to be completed and if such implementation is completed within such additional 90 day period (or such longer period as the Parties may mutually agree), then such Identified Facilities shall not cease to be Included Locations based on the noncompliance stated in Macquarie’s notice to LW; and
(iv)If any Identified Facilities cease to be Included Locations pursuant to Section 14.4(a) above and thereafter Macquarie determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment, that such Identified Facilities have become compliant with Macquarie’s Policies and Procedures, then Macquarie shall promptly cooperate with LW to reestablish such Identified Facilities as Included Locations hereunder.

TAXES
15.1(a) Fuels and LW shall pay and indemnify and hold Macquarie harmless against, the amount of all sales, use, value added, transfer, stamp, property, duties, ad valorem, or other similar taxes, (but excluding all taxes imposed on or measured by net income or profits, all franchise taxes, all branch profits taxes, and all U.S. federal withholding taxes, including U.S. federal withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA), howsoever designated regardless of the taxing authority, and all penalties and interest thereon, paid, owing, asserted against, or incurred by Macquarie directly or
indirectly with respect to the Crude Oil procured and sold to Fuels and/or LW hereunder, and the Products purchased and resold to Fuels and LW hereunder, and other transactions contemplated hereunder, except to the extent any such taxes, penalties, or interest are due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Macquarie or breach of the terms hereof by Macquarie (each indemnifiable tax is a “Tax” and collectively are “Taxes”). Fuels and LW 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 Macquarie. To the extent Macquarie 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 Fuels or LW in accordance with this Agreement, unless Fuels or LW is exempt from such Taxes and furnishes Macquarie with a certificate of exemption, and Macquarie shall timely pay the full amount of such Taxes to the applicable taxing authority. Any refund or credit with respect to any Taxes paid or indemnified by Fuels or LW hereunder shall belong to Fuels or LW. For the avoidance of doubt, Macquarie shall be responsible for all taxes imposed on or measured by Macquarie’s net or gross (or any derivative thereof) income, and Fuels or LW shall be responsible for all taxes imposed on or measured by Fuels or LW’s net or gross (or any derivative thereof) income.
(a)In addition to paragraph (a), Fuels or LW shall complete and file all necessary property tax returns on Macquarie’s behalf with respect to Crude Oil and Products, regardless of whether property tax laws place the obligation to do so upon Macquarie or Fuels or LW, disclose Macquarie’s ownership interest therein, and pay such amounts as due. Provided that Fuels or LW pays (or indemnifies Macquarie for) all such property Taxes, Fuels or LW shall have the first right to claim income tax credits for such property Taxes paid and shall be solely responsible for the extent to which such credits are available to or realized by Fuels or LW.
15.2If Fuels or LW disagrees with Macquarie’s determination that any Tax is due with respect to transactions under this Agreement, Fuels or LW shall have the right to seek an administrative determination from the applicable taxing authority, or, alternatively, Fuels or LW shall have the right to contest any asserted claim for such Taxes, subject to its agreeing to indemnify Macquarie for the entire amount of such contested Tax should such Tax be deemed applicable. Macquarie agrees to reasonably cooperate with Fuels or LW, in the event Fuels or LW determines to contest any such Taxes. Fuels and LW shall be jointly and severally responsible for all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Fuels and LW or Macquarie in the event Fuels and LW decide to seek an administrative determination from the applicable taxing authority or to contest any such Taxes.
15.3(a)Fuels and LW and Macquarie 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 Macquarie with respect to such asserted liability shall be under Macquarie’s direction but Fuels or LW shall be kept reasonably informed and consulted by Macquarie, provided that so long as Fuels or LW has sufficient available liquidity (as reasonably determined by Macquarie), then Fuels or LW shall have the option to assume the control and direction of any such legal proceedings or actions. Any legal proceedings or any other action against Fuels or LW with respect to such asserted liability shall be under Fuels or LW’s direction but Macquarie
shall be consulted. In any event, Fuels or LW and Macquarie shall fully cooperate with each other as to the asserted liability. Each Party shall bear all the reasonable out of pocket costs of any action undertaken by the other at the Party’s request.

ARTICLE 17
FORCE MAJEURE
17.1If 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 hindered by such event of Force Majeure; provided, however, that the Affected Party shall use any commercially reasonable efforts to 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, Fuels or LW were to suspend its receipt and/or processing of Crude Oil, then Macquarie would be entitled to suspend, to a comparable extent, its purchasing of Products.
17.2The Affected Party shall give prompt oral 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 such oral notice of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event, including, to the extent feasible, the details and the expected duration of the Force Majeure event and the volume of 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.
17.3In the event the Affected Party’s performance is suspended due to an event of Force Majeure in excess of thirty (30) consecutive days after the date that notice of such event is given, and so long as such event is continuing, the Non-Affected Party, in its sole discretion, may terminate or curtail its 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. Without limiting any rights of any Non-Affected Party under this Article 17, the parties agree that following notice of an event of Force Majeure, they shall consult in good faith to assess potential actions or steps with respect thereto.
17.4If 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.
17.5The Parties acknowledge and agree that the right of Macquarie to declare a Force Majeure based upon any failure by a Third Party Supplier to deliver Crude Oil under a Macquarie Crude Procurement Contract is solely for purposes of determining the respective rights and obligations as between Macquarie and Fuels or LW with respect to any Crude Oil delivery affected thereby, and any such declaration shall not excuse the default of such Third Party Supplier (including SIP) under one or more Macquarie Crude Procurement Contracts. Any claims that Macquarie may have as a result of such Third Party Supplier’s failure shall be subject to Section 5.10 and any other applicable provisions of this Agreement relating to claims against third parties.
17.6If at any time during the Term any of the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements cease to be in effect (in whole or in part) or any of the applicable Included Product Pipelines or Included Product Tanks cease, in whole or in part, to be available to Macquarie pursuant to the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements, and the foregoing is a result of or attributable to any owner or operator of such Included Product Pipelines or Included Product Tanks becoming Bankrupt or breaching or defaulting in any of its obligations relating to the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements, then:
(a)Fuels and LW shall promptly use commercially reasonable efforts to establish for Macquarie’s benefit alternative and/or replacement storage and transportation arrangements no less favorable to Macquarie (in Macquarie’s reasonable judgment) than those that have ceased to be available;
(b)Until such alternative and/or replacement arrangements complying with clause (a) above have been established, each Party shall be deemed to have been affected by an event of Force Majeure and its obligations under this Agreement shall be curtailed to the extent such performance is hindered by such lack of effectiveness of any Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements or the availability of any pipeline or storage facility related thereto; and
(c)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall Macquarie 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 at any time from and after the owner or operator thereof becomes Bankrupt. If any such storage facility is an Included Location then Macquarie may, in its discretion, elect upon written notice to Fuels or LW 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 Macquarie therein shall be purchased by Fuels or LW in accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections 10.1 and 10.2 hereof.
17.7If at any time during the Term, (x) either of the SIP-Company Products Sales and Purchase Agreement or the SIP-Macquarie Products Sales and Purchase Agreement terminates for
a reason other than (i) a termination resulting from a termination election made in accordance with Section 3.2 and 3.3 of this Agreement, or (ii) a termination for which Macquarie has elected to exercise its liquidity put option under Article VII of the SIP-Macquarie Products Sales and Purchase Agreement, or (z) the SIP is Bankrupt (either such event being a “SIP Event”), then
(a)The Parties shall promptly notify each other of the occurrence of such SIP Event, and the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to establish for Macquarie’s benefit alternative and/or replacement arrangements no less favorable to Macquarie (in Macquarie’s reasonable judgment) than those that have ceased to be available;
(b)Until such alternative and/or replacement arrangements complying with clause (a) above have been established, each Party shall be deemed to have been affected by an event of Force Majeure, and Macquarie’s obligations under this Agreement to purchase Crude Oil, or to purchase Products, either from another Party or from third parties shall be suspended while and so long as the Parties hereto negotiate satisfactory substitute arrangements for the SIP-Company Products Sales and Purchase Agreement or the SIP-Macquarie Products Sales and Purchase Agreement;
(c)Within seven (7) Business Days after the occurrence of the SIP Event, Fuels or LW shall provide an additional Independent Amount, and other satisfactory arrangements, in both cases reasonably satisfactory to Macquarie, and if Fuels or LW shall fail to do so, then Macquarie may, by written notice to the other Parties hereto, terminate this Agreement, and the date of delivery to the other Parties of such notice shall constitute a “Termination Date” under Article 20 hereof.
(d)Following the posting of an additional Independent Amount by Fuels or LW pursuant to Section 17.7(c), the Parties shall promptly meet to discuss replacement agreements for the SIP-Company Products Sales and Purchase Agreement and the SIP-Macquarie Products Sales and Purchase Agreement. In the event that the Parties hereto are unable, after more than 30 days after such posting of such Independent Amount, to negotiate and establish new arrangements to replace the SIP-Company Products Sales and Purchase Agreement and the SIP-Macquarie Products Sales and Purchase Agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to all Parties, then any Party hereto may, by written notice to the other Parties hereto, terminate this Agreement, and the date of delivery to the other Parties of such notice shall constitute a “Termination Date” under Article 20 hereof; and
(e)For the avoidance of doubt, the Termination Amount for any early termination pursuant to this Section 17.7 shall be calculated in accordance with Section 20.2 and the Specified Termination Amount shall be equal to zero when calculating the Termination Amount related to such early termination.

19.2Remedies.
(a)Acceleration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Event of Default with respect to Fuels or LW, on the one hand, or Macquarie, on the other hand (such defaulting Party, the “Defaulting Party”) has occurred and is continuing, Macquarie (where Fuels or LW is the Defaulting Party) or Fuels or LW (where Macquarie 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 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, the other Transaction Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC and as provided under this Section 19.2.
(b)Termination/Settlement Amount. 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 and such other Transaction Documents; provided that, in the event Macquarie is the Non-Defaulting Party, this Agreement shall not be deemed to have terminated in full until Macquarie shall have disposed of all Crude Oil and Products owned or maintained by Macquarie in which Macquarie has lien or other rights in connection herewith and exercised in full all of its rights and remedies with respect to the Hydrocarbon Credit Support. 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 other. The “Settlement Amount” shall mean the amount, expressed in U.S. dollars, of losses and out of pocket 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 and such other Transaction Documents. The determination of the Settlement Amount shall include (without duplication): (x) the losses and out of pocket costs (or gains) incurred or realized (and determined in a commercially reasonable manner) by the Non-Defaulting Party in terminating, transferring, redeploying or otherwise modifying any outstanding Procurement Contracts, (y) the losses and out of pocket costs (or gains) incurred or realized (and determined in a commercially reasonable manner) by the Non-Defaulting Party in terminating and liquidating any transactions subject hereto, including but not limited to, any unpaid amounts owed pursuant to Section 10.1 and Section 10.2 herein and (z) all breakage costs, losses and out of pocket costs (or gains) incurred or realized by the Non-Defaulting Party, as a result of the Non-Defaulting Party’s terminating, liquidating, maintaining, obtaining or reestablishing any Related Xxxxxx (including, if Macquarie is the Non-Defaulting Party, all hedging transactions relating to the roll procedures set forth in the Fee Letter; provided however, that (i) the determination of “Settlement Amount” shall not
include (AA) future profits or losses on transactions not evidenced by a contractual obligation in existence on the date of determination of “Settlement Amount” to purchase or sell Hydrocarbons, and (BB) the Monthly Intermediation Fee, Deferred Payment Amount Fee, Inventory Management Fee, Monthly Services Fee, the SIP Intermediation Fee, and “Monthly Facilities Fee” (as defined in the Storage Facilities Agreement) arising or accruing after the date of calculation of Settlement Amount, and (ii) the foregoing shall not exclude from “Settlement Amount” losses and out of pocket costs from Related Xxxxxx described in the foregoing clause (z). 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)Determination of Settlement Amount. 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that for purposes of determining the Settlement Amount: (1) the Specified Termination Amount shall be paid in lieu of all fees hereunder and under the Fee Letter (except to the extent that this Agreement and the Fee Letter provides expressly for the calculation of any such fees to be included in the Settlement Amount upon termination of this Agreement);, and (2) to the extent the Non-Defaulting Party deems it commercially reasonable to do so, it may in referencing prices in the futures, forward, swap and options markets for purposes of calculating various elements of the Settlement Amount endeavor to align the dates as of which such reference prices are determined. 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)Additional Rights of Macquarie. Without limiting any other rights or remedies hereunder, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Macquarie is the Non-Defaulting Party, Macquarie may, in its discretion, (i) withhold or suspend its obligations, including any of its delivery or payment obligations, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, (ii) withdraw from storage any and all of the Crude Oil and/or Products then in the Included Locations, (iii) otherwise arrange for the disposition of any Crude Oil and/or Products subject to any outstanding Macquarie Crude Procurement Contract or Included Product Purchase Transaction and/or the modification, settlement or termination of such outstanding Macquarie Crude Procurement Contract or Included Product Purchase Transaction in such manner as it elects, (iv) liquidate in a commercially reasonable manner any credit support, margin or collateral, to the extent not already in the form of cash (including applying any other margin or collateral) and apply and set off such credit support, margin or collateral or the proceeds thereof against any obligation owing by Fuels or LW
to Macquarie (including without limitation the Independent Amount), (v) foreclose any lien or security interest, and (vi) exercise its rights in respect of any agreement or assignment of rights from a third party in respect of the transportation or storage of Fuels or LW Product Inventory or Fuels or LW Crude Inventory. Macquarie shall be under no obligation to prioritize the order with respect to which it exercises any one or more rights and remedies available hereunder. Fuels and LW shall in all events remain liable to Macquarie for any amount payable by Fuels or LW in respect of any of its obligations remaining unpaid after any such liquidation, application and set off.
(e)Company’s Rights. Without limiting any other rights or remedies hereunder, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Fuels or LW is the Non-Defaulting Party, Fuels or LW 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 provide 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 Macquarie’s account, and the replacement of the supply and offtake transaction contemplated hereby with such alternative arrangements as it may procure.
(f)Net Liquidated Amount. The Non-Defaulting Party shall set off (i) the Settlement Amount (if due to the Defaulting Party), plus any performance security (including any other margin or collateral) 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 any other margin or collateral) 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 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any Independent Amount held by Macquarie) 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. In addition, the Parties acknowledge that, in connection with an Event of Default hereunder, the Step-out Inventory Sales Agreement may be terminated and with respect thereto any rights and remedies available hereunder, under any other agreement between the Parties hereto or the parties thereto, or at law or equity may be exercised.
(g)No Abandonment of Rights. 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)Rights Cumulative. 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 or at law or in equity. The Defaulting Party shall indemnify and hold the Non-Defaulting Party harmless from all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred in the exercise of any remedies hereunder, as and to the extent provided in Article 21 hereof, and subject to the limitations set forth therein.
(i)Setoff. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Non-Defaulting Party may, without limitation on its rights under this Section 19.2, set off amounts which the Defaulting Party owes to it against any amounts which it owes to the Defaulting Party (whether hereunder, under any other contract or agreement or otherwise and whether or not then due).
(j)Master Netting Agreement. 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.”
(k)Additional Master Netting and Setoff. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Non-Defaulting Party has such additional netting and setoff rights as are provided in any master netting agreement executed in connection herewith and expressly referencing this Agreement.
ARTICLE 20
SETTLEMENT AT TERMINATION
20.1Procedures for Settlement at Termination. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason other than as a result of an Event of Default (in which case the Expiration Date or such other date as the Parties may agree shall be the “Termination Date”; provided that if such date is not a Business Day, the Termination Date shall occur on the immediately preceding Business Day), the Parties covenant and agree to proceed as provided in this Article 20; provided that (x) this Agreement shall continue in effect following the Termination Date until all obligations are finally settled as contemplated by this Article 20 and (y) the provisions of this Article 20 shall in no way limit the rights and remedies which the Non-Defaulting Party may have as a result of an Event of Default, whether pursuant to Article 19 above or otherwise:
(a)Macquarie Contracts. If any Macquarie Crude Procurement Contract, Included Product Purchase Transaction or Included Sales Transaction or Additional Product Transaction does not either (i) by its terms automatically become assigned to Fuels or LW on and as of the Termination Date in a manner which releases Macquarie from all obligations thereunder for all periods following the Termination Date or (ii) by its terms, expire or terminate on and as of the Termination Date, then the Parties shall promptly negotiate and enter into, with each of the then existing Third Party Suppliers, assignments, assumptions and/or such other documentation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Parties, pursuant to which, as of the Termination Date, (w) such Macquarie Crude Procurement Contract, Included Product Purchase Transaction or Included Sales Transaction or Additional Product Transaction shall be assigned to Fuels (or to Fuels and to LW if Fuels shall so elect)or shall be terminated, (x) all rights and obligations of Macquarie under each of the then outstanding Macquarie Crude Procurement Contract, Included Product Purchase Transaction or Included Sales Transaction or Additional Product Transaction shall be assigned to Fuels (or to Fuels and to LW if Fuels shall so elect), (y) Fuels (or Fuels or LW, as they may elect) shall assume all of such obligations to be paid or performed following such termination, and (z) Macquarie shall be released by such Third Party Suppliers and Fuels and LW from any further obligations thereunder. In connection with the assignment or reassignment of any Macquarie Crude Procurement Contract, Included Product Purchase Transaction or Included Sales Transaction or Additional Product Transaction, 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 Macquarie Crude Procurement Contract, Included Product Purchase Transaction or Included Sales Transaction or Additional Product Transaction so as to prevent any material disruption thereunder.
(b)Marketing and Sales Agreement. If, pursuant to the Marketing and Sales Agreement, any sales commitments are outstanding which, by their terms, extend beyond the Termination Date, then the Parties shall promptly negotiate and enter into, with each of the purchasers thereunder, assignments, assumptions and/or such other documentation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parties, pursuant to which, as of the Termination Date, (i) such sales commitment shall be assigned (or reassigned) to Fuels (or to Fuels and to LW if Fuels shall so elect) or shall be terminated, (ii) all rights and obligations of Macquarie with respect to each then outstanding sales commitment shall be assigned to Fuels (or to Fuels and to LW if Fuels shall so elect), (iii) Fuels (or Fuels and to LW if Fuels shall so elect) shall assume all of such obligations to be paid or performed following such termination, and (iv) Macquarie shall be released by the purchasers thereunder and by Fuels and LW from any further obligations with respect to such sales commitments. In connection with the assignment or reassignment of any Macquarie Crude Procurement Contract, the Parties shall endeavor, in a commercially reasonable manner, to facilitate the transitioning of the Product marketing and sales arrangements so as to prevent any material disruption in the distribution of Products from the Refinery.
(c)Ancillary Contracts. In the event that Macquarie 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 Fuels or LW or shall be terminated, (ii) all rights and obligations of Macquarie with respect to each
then outstanding Ancillary Contract shall be assigned to Fuels or LW, (iii) Fuels or LW shall assume all of such obligations to be paid or performed following such termination, and (iv) Macquarie shall be released by the third party service providers thereunder and Fuels or LW from any further obligations with respect to such Ancillary Contract.
(d)Purchase and Transfer of Crude and Products. The volume of Crude Oil and Products at the Included Locations, at Macquarie’s election (i) shall be purchased and transferred as contemplated in the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement, (ii) at Macquarie’s cost, but with the mutual agreement of both Parties, including the use of any Base Contracts, shall be taken and accepted in kind satisfaction of obligations hereunder or (iii) at Macquarie’s cost, but with the reasonable assistance of Fuels and LW, including the use of any Base Contracts, shall be sold in its entirety or in part to third parties of Macquarie’s choosing but with withdrawal from the Included Locations in connection therewith promptly. The Crude Oil volumes measured by Macquarie’s Inspector at the Termination Date and recorded in Macquarie’s Inspector’s final inventory report shall be the “Termination Date Crude Oil Volumes” for the purposes of this Agreement and the Product volumes measured by Macquarie’s Inspector at the Termination Date and recorded in Macquarie’s Inspector’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.”
(e)Determination of Termination Amount. Macquarie shall promptly reconcile and determine the Termination Amount pursuant to Section 20.2. The Parties shall promptly exchange all information necessary to determine the estimates and final calculations contemplated by Section 20.2.
(f)No Further Obligations. Macquarie shall have no further obligation to purchase and shall not purchase or pay for Crude Oil or Products, or incur any such purchase obligations on and after the Termination Date. Except as may be required for Macquarie to fulfill its obligations hereunder until the Termination Date or during any obligatory notice period pursuant to any Macquarie Crude Procurement Contract, Macquarie shall not be obligated to purchase, take title to or pay for any Crude Oil or Products following the Termination Date or such earlier date as the Parties may determine in connection with the transitioning of such supply arrangements to Fuels or LW. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Delivery Date shall occur later than the day immediately preceding the Termination Date.
20.2Termination Amount.
(a)The “Termination Amount” shall equal:
(i)Any unpaid amounts owed by Fuels or LW to Macquarie pursuant to the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement and, without duplication, in respect of Crude Oil delivered on or prior to the Termination Date but not otherwise accounted for in the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement, plus
(ii)all Ancillary Costs incurred through the Termination Date that have not yet been paid or reimbursed by Fuels or LW, plus
(iii)in the case of an early termination, the amount reasonably determined by Macquarie as the breakage costs it incurred directly in connection with the termination, unwinding or redeploying of all Related Xxxxxx as a result of such early termination, including all hedging transactions relating to the roll procedures set forth in the Fee Letter, plus
(iv)the aggregate amount due under Section 10.1(i) and Section 10.2(b), 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 10.1(i) and Section 10.2(b) is due to Macquarie, then such amount shall be included in this Termination Amount as a positive number and if such amount under Section 10.1(i) and Section 10.2(a) is due to Fuels or LW (collectively), then such amount shall be included in this Termination Amount as a negative number, plus
(v)[Reserved]
(vi)[Reserved]
(vii)all unpaid amounts payable hereunder by Macquarie to Fuels or LW (collectively) in respect of Product delivered on or prior to the Termination Date, minus
(viii)all unpaid amounts payable under the Marketing and Sales Agreement by Macquarie to Fuels or LW (collectively) for services provided up to the Termination Date.
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 Macquarie and if it is a negative number, the absolute value thereof shall be due to Fuels and LW.
(b)The Parties acknowledge that one or more of the components of the Termination Amount may not be capable of definitive determination by the Termination Date and therefore agree that Macquarie shall, in a commercially reasonable manner, estimate in good faith each of such components and use such estimated components to determine an estimate of the Termination Amount (the “Estimated Termination Amount”); provided that the Parties agree that Macquarie shall apply the Independent Amount against the Estimated Termination Amount and shall not wait until final settlement is completed pursuant to Section 20.2(c). 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 Macquarie in the same manner and using the same methodology as it used in preparing the Estimated Commencement Date Value, but applying the “Step-Out Prices” as indicated in Schedule
B and other price terms provided for herein with respect to the purchase of the Termination Date Volumes. Macquarie shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare, and provide Fuels or LW 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, Macquarie shall endeavor to update its calculation of the Estimated Termination Amount by no later than 12:00 p.m. EST on the Business Day prior to the Termination Date. If Macquarie 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., EST 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 Macquarie and if it is a negative number, the absolute value thereof shall be due to Fuels and LW jointly.
(c)On or before ten (10) Business Days following the Termination Date, Macquarie shall prepare, and provide Fuels or LW 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 Independent 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 shall make any and all payments required pursuant thereto. Promptly after receiving such payment (but in any event within five (5) Business Days of such receipt), Macquarie shall (x) cause any filing or recording of any UCC financing forms to be terminated, (y) release and terminate all Lien Documents pursuant to one or more instruments mutually acceptable to the Parties and (z) deliver, re-assign, reconvey and transfer, as applicable, to Fuels or LW any other Credit Support or credit support held or maintained by Macquarie (including, without limitation, the remaining balance, if any, of the Independent Amount after giving effect to this Article 20).
(d)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Macquarie shall not have any obligation to make any payment contemplated by this Section 20.2, transfer title to Crude Oil or Products or to otherwise cooperate in the transition matters described in Section 20.1 unless (i) Fuels and LW shall have performed their respective obligations under the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement and this Section 20.2 as and when required pursuant to the terms hereof and thereof, and (ii) except as otherwise agreed by the Parties, the Master Agreement and all Transactions outstanding thereunder have been terminated and all amounts due with respect to such terminated Transactions shall have been paid in full.
20.3Transition Services. To the extent necessary to facilitate the transition to the purchasers of the storage and transportation rights and status contemplated hereby, each Party shall take such additional actions, execute such further instruments and provide such additional assistance as the other Party may from time to time reasonably request for such purposes.

at its own expense, with counsel of its own selection, in the defense and settlement thereof without relieving the other of any obligations hereunder.

Each of Fuels and LW, and, subject to the limitations of the Guaranty, each Guarantor, including Parent, agree that it is jointly and severally liable to Macquarie and its Affiliates for the payment of all Transaction Obligations, and that such liability is independent of the obligations of the other aforementioned Persons. Each obligation, promise, covenant, representation and warranty in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been made by, and be binding upon, each of Fuels and LW, unless this Agreement expressly provides otherwise. Macquarie may bring an action against any of Fuels, LW or any Guarantor, including Parent, whether or not an action is brought against any other Person.

4.3.1Promptly after the Commencement Date, Buyer shall calculate the Definitive Commencement Date Value using the data regarding the Crude and Product Inventory provided in the Independent Inventory Report and the reports submitted by the respective operators pursuant to Section 3.2.2 hereof and deliver to LW a statement including such calculated price (the “Sales Statement”), provided that Buyer has obtained the appropriate information for such calculation. Buyer shall use the Current Month Pricing Benchmark(s) in effect as of the Commencement Date to price the various quantities set forth in the Independent Inventory Report and the reports submitted by the respective operators pursuant to Section 3.2.2 hereof. Buyer shall include in the Sales Statement all supporting calculations and documentation used to determine the Definitive Commencement Date Value.
4.3.2Unless LW gives notice to Buyer on or before the third (3rd) Business Day after LW’s receipt of the Sales Statement that LW disputes the Definitive Commencement Date Value specified in the Sales Statement, the Definitive Commencement Date Value shall be as specified in the Sales Statement. If LW gives timely notice to Buyer that it disputes the Definitive
Commencement Date Value specified in the Sales Statement, the Parties shall consult in good faith and use all reasonable efforts to agree upon the calculation of the Definitive Commencement Date Value. If the Parties have not agreed on the Definitive Commencement Date Value within one (1) Business Day after Buyer’s receipt of LW’s dispute notice, either Party shall have the right to submit such matters as remain in dispute to a single accounting firm of recognized national standing as the Parties shall mutually agree, for final resolution, which resolution shall be binding upon the Parties, and judgment upon which may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is sought to be enforced; provided, however, that the Definitive Commencement Date Volume, as provided in the Independent Inventory Report prepared by the Independent Inspection Company, shall not be subject to further review or dispute except with respect to manifest error. The accounting firm’s determination shall be in the form of a written opinion as is appropriate under the circumstances and shall confirm that the Definitive Commencement Date Volume was rendered in accordance with this Section 4.3. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm for its services in resolving such dispute shall be borne equally by the Parties.
4.4Crude and Product Inventory Sales Price Adjustment. Upon final determination of the Definitive Commencement Date Value pursuant to Section 4.3, a true-up adjustment will be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.4 (the “Price Adjustment”). If the Definitive Commencement Date Value is greater than the Estimated Commencement Date Value paid to LW pursuant to Section 4.2, then Buyer shall make a payment to LW in an amount equal to such excess. If the Estimated Commencement Date Value paid to LW pursuant to Section 4.2 is greater than the Definitive Commencement Date Value, then LW shall make a payment to Buyer in an amount equal to such excess. Any such payment by Buyer or LW shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds on or before the third (3rd) Business Day after receipt of the Sales Statement (subject to the resolution of any dispute pursuant to Section 4.3.2). As a result of the payments made under this Section 4.4, Buyer shall have paid to LW an amount equal to the Definitive Commencement Date Value for the Crude and Product Inventory.
4.5Taxes. The Parties agree that the provisions of Article 15 of the S&O Agreement relating to tax matters shall apply to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to the same extent as if set forth herein in full (except that references to the “Company” shall be deemed to refer to LW hereunder and references to “Macquarie” shall be deemed to refer to the Buyer hereunder).

(b)Target Volumes. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Fuels and LW shall endeavor in a commercially reasonable manner to arrange for Product sales (taking into account sales to the SIP) in such volumes so that, as of the end of each calendar month, the volume of each Product held by Macquarie in the Storage Facilities is as close as reasonably practicable to the Target Month End Product Volume for such Product.
(c)No Sales Obligations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Macquarie shall have no obligation to complete any sales hereunder, unless Macquarie otherwise agrees.
(d)Third Party Sales. Subject to Section 2.8, Macquarie, Fuels and LW agree that Fuels and LW shall market and otherwise arrange for sales of Products, and that Macquarie (i) though not obligated to do so, shall, absent an Event of Default, make commercially reasonable efforts to sell Products to Fuels and LW before selling to another Person other than the SIP, and (ii) shall follow the procedures established pursuant to Section 8.2(c) of the Supply and Offtake Agreement for sales of Products to any Person other than Fuels, LW or an SIP.
Section 2.2Included Sales Transactions.
(a)Sale; Product Sales Fee. From time to time during the term of this Agreement, Fuels and LW may identify potential Customers who wish to enter into Included Sales Transactions with Macquarie. Fuels and LW may discuss with any such potential Customer the price, quantity,
delivery period or periods, product grade and other material terms on which such potential Customer is prepared to agree to an Included Sales Transaction. Fuels and LW shall have no authority to bind Macquarie to, or enter into on Macquarie’s behalf, any Included Sales Transaction and shall not represent to any potential Customer that it has such authority. If Fuels or LW negotiated an offer from a potential Customer to enter into an Included Sales Transaction that complies with the terms and conditions hereof, Fuels or LW shall apprise Macquarie in writing (which may be via email) of the terms of such offer and Macquarie shall promptly determine and advise Fuels or LW as to whether Macquarie desires to accept such offer. For each such offer presented to Macquarie, (i) Fuels or LW shall prepare and provide to Macquarie a trade ticket listing the proposed Customer, price, quantity, delivery period(s), product grade and other material terms of such offer (in the form prescribed in Schedule Q to the Supply and Offtake Agreement) and (ii) Fuels or LW and Macquarie shall agree to a fee per Barrel (“Product Sales Fee”) that shall be due from Fuels or LW to Macquarie with respect to each Barrel sold under the proposed Included Sales Transaction if entered into by Macquarie and such potential Customer. Macquarie shall not be obligated to consider a proposed Included Sales Transaction unless the Parties have agreed to the Product Sales Fee with respect thereto. The payment of such Product Sales Fee shall be determined in accordance with Section 8.12 and Schedule C of the Supply and Offtake Agreement.
(b)Confirmation Procedures. If Macquarie desires to accept any such offer, then Macquarie shall endeavor to promptly communicate its formal acceptance of such offer to Fuels or LW and to the potential Customer so that Macquarie may establish a binding agreement between Macquarie and such potential Customer. If a binding agreement is so established to Macquarie’s satisfaction, then Macquarie shall seek to finalize and confirm such Included Sales Transaction using its ordinary documentation and confirmation procedures. In the event the pricing terms agreed to by Macquarie differ from those negotiated by Fuels or LW and offered to Macquarie, Macquarie shall utilize the price negotiated by Macquarie and offered to Macquarie for purposes of calculating the Aggregate Product Sale Receipts for purposes of computing the Monthly Product Sale Adjustment. If Macquarie enters into an Included Sales Transaction it shall promptly confirm this to Fuels or LW by sending to Fuels or LW an email confirmation notifying Fuels or LW that a transaction has been executed on the basis of the relevant trade ticket. In addition, if the relevant Customer has consented to Macquarie sharing copies of the agreement underlying the Included Sales Transaction with Fuels or LW, then Macquarie shall provide a copy thereof to Fuels or LW.
(c)Rejection. Macquarie may, in its discretion, acting in good faith, elect to reject any such offer to enter into an Included Sales Transaction. Macquarie’s decision to reject any such offer shall be based on such factors and considerations as Macquarie deems relevant, which may include (without limitation) the proposed commercial terms, credit considerations (including credit quality and credit limits), reputational considerations, prior or current interactions between Macquarie and the proposed Customer, know your customer requirements (if any), the presence or absence of trading documentation between Macquarie and the proposed Customer, the presence or absence of a pre-existing trading relationship with the proposed Customer or the suitability of the proposed Customer for such transaction. Macquarie reserves the right to accept or reject any potential transaction with such counterparty in accordance with this Section 2.2(c); provided that, Macquarie shall not refuse to trade with any counterparty based solely on the fact that such trade was presented to it by Fuels or LW hereunder where, at such time, Macquarie would
otherwise have traded with such counterparty on such terms and under all other applicable policies and limitations.
Section 2.3Included Product Purchase Transactions.
(a)Purchase; Intermediation Fee. From time to time, based on LW’s estimates of the Refinery’s expected Product yields and the volume requirements of the Company’s Product Marketing Operations, Fuels or LW may propose that Macquarie enter into an Included Product Purchase Transaction with an identified Product Supplier. Fuels or LW may discuss with any such potential Product Supplier the price, quantity, delivery period or periods, product grade and other terms of such potential Included Product Purchase Transaction. Neither Fuels nor LW shall have any authority to bind Macquarie to, or enter into on Macquarie’s behalf, any Included Product Purchase Transaction and shall not represent to any potential Product Supplier that either has such authority. If Fuels or LW has negotiated an offer from a potential Product Supplier to enter into an Included Product Purchase Transaction that complies with the terms and conditions hereof, Fuels or LW shall apprise Macquarie in writing (which may be via email) of the terms of such offer and Macquarie shall promptly determine and advise Fuels or LW as to whether Macquarie desires to accept such offer. For each such offer presented to Macquarie, (i) Fuels or LW shall prepare and provide to Macquarie a trade ticket listing the proposed Product Supplier, price, quantity, delivery period(s), product grade and other material terms of such offer (in the form prescribed in Schedule Q to the Supply and Offtake Agreement) and (ii) each Barrel purchased under the proposed Included Product Purchase Transaction if entered into by Macquarie and such potential Product Supplier shall be included (without duplication) in determining the Monthly Intermediation Fee. The payment of such Monthly Intermediation Fee shall be determined in accordance with the Fee Letter.
(b)Confirmation Procedures. If Macquarie desires to accept any such offer, then Macquarie shall endeavor to promptly communicate its formal acceptance of such offer to Fuels or LW and to the potential Product Supplier so that Macquarie may establish a binding agreement between Macquarie and such potential Product Supplier. If a binding agreement is so established to Macquarie’s satisfaction, then Macquarie shall seek to finalize and confirm such Included Product Purchase Transaction using its ordinary documentation and confirmation procedures. In the event the pricing terms agreed to by Macquarie differ from those negotiated by Fuels or LW and offered to Macquarie, Macquarie shall utilize the price negotiated by Macquarie and offered to Macquarie for purposes of calculating the Aggregate Product Purchase Proceeds for purposes of computing the Monthly Product Purchase Adjustment. If Macquarie enters into an Included Product Purchase Transaction it shall promptly confirm this to Fuels or LW by sending to Fuels or LW an email confirmation notifying Fuels or LW that a transaction has been executed on the basis of the relevant trade ticket. In addition, if the relevant Customer has consented to Macquarie sharing copies of the agreement underlying the Included Product Purchase Transaction with Fuels or LW, then Macquarie shall provide a copy thereof to Fuels or LW.
(c)Rejection. Macquarie may, in its discretion, acting in good faith, elect to reject any such offer to enter into an Included Product Purchase Transaction. Macquarie’s decision to reject any such offer shall be based on such factors and considerations as Macquarie deems relevant, which may include (without limitation) the proposed commercial terms, credit
considerations (including credit quality and credit limits), reputational considerations, prior or current interactions between Macquarie and the proposed Product Supplier, the presence or absence of trading documentation between Macquarie and the proposed Product Supplier, the presence or absence of a pre-existing trading relationship with the proposed Product Supplier or the suitability of the proposed Product Supplier for such transaction. Macquarie reserves the right to accept or reject any potential transaction with such counterparty in accordance with this Section 2.3(c); provided that, Macquarie shall not refuse to trade with any counterparty based solely on the fact that such trade was presented to it by Fuels or LW hereunder where, at such time, Macquarie would otherwise have traded with such counterparty on such terms and under all other applicable policies and limitations.
(d)Subsequent Sales. If Macquarie acquires any Product under an Included Product Purchase Transaction, such Product shall be subject to further resale (i) to Fuels or LW in accordance with the Supply and Offtake Agreement, (ii) under Included Sales Transactions and/or Company Purchase Agreements, or (iii) to the SIP under the SIP-Macquarie Products Sales and Purchase Agreement to the same extent as any Product acquired by Macquarie under the Supply and Offtake Agreement.
Section 2.4Volume Reporting. Fuels and LW agrees that it shall not propose, and Macquarie shall not be requested or obligated to enter into, any Included Transactions until Fuels or LW has established, to Macquarie’s reasonable satisfaction, procedures and mechanisms for determining and reporting the specific volumes that are from time to time subject to each such Included Transaction.
Section 2.5Additional Transaction Terms and Guidelines. When identifying any potential Included Sales Transaction or Included Product Purchase Transaction, Fuels and LW shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with any guidelines that Macquarie may from time to time provide to Fuels or LW, in writing, to be observed by Fuels and LW in seeking to identify such transactions.
Section 2.6Sales to Fuels and LW.
(a)Company Sales. Fuels and LW and certain of their respective Affiliates (each, a “Company Purchaser”) intend to purchase Products consisting of non-finished fuels, jet fuel, and certain intermediates from Macquarie for purposes of Company’s Product Marketing Operations. In addition, in the event that Macquarie elects not to enter into an Included Sales Transaction with a Customer that Fuels or LW has proposed to Macquarie pursuant to Section 2.2, and at such time Fuels or LW has reasonably determined that Product sales consisting of non-finished fuels, jet fuel, or certain intermediates are being made at an insufficient rate to permit the Refinery to continue its ordinary commercial operations with respect to such Products, then a Company Purchaser may, at its election, enter into an agreement with such proposed Customer for the sale of Products consisting of non-finished fuels, jet fuel, or certain intermediates and the Company Purchaser shall be permitted to purchase Products consisting of non-finished fuels, jet fuel, and certain intermediates from Macquarie necessary to supply such proposed Customer at a price equal to the Current Month Pricing Benchmark(s).
(b)Bulk Transactions. If, in Macquarie’s judgment, any proposed sale to a Company Purchaser under Section 2.6(a) involves a bulk quantity, taking into account the quantities generally subject to transactions being entered into by Company Purchasers under Section 2.6(a), then Macquarie may require that such bulk quantity transaction be separately confirmed and settled between Macquarie and such Company Purchaser. Any such separately confirmed and settled transaction shall be a “Company Purchase Agreement” hereunder. Macquarie shall have the right to require that a Company Purchaser provide Macquarie with documentation and other diligence before entering into any such Company Purchase Agreement.
(c)Company Purchase Agreement Price. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the purchase price payable by the Company Purchaser to Macquarie under a Company Purchase Agreement shall be the purchase price specified in the confirmation for such transaction.
(d)Standard Transaction Price. The purchase price for any Product delivered to or lifted by a Company Purchaser that is not subject to a Company Purchase Agreement shall be at a price equal to the Current Month Pricing Benchmark(s).
(e)Company Purchases. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Fuels and LW shall be permitted to purchase Products consisting of non-finished fuels, jet fuel, and certain intermediates from the Included Product Tanks and take delivery of such Products at any Products Delivery Point in accordance with the Weekly Product Projection, or as otherwise mutually agreed to by the Parties.
(f)Title and Risk of Loss. The Parties acknowledge that, for any Product that a Company Purchaser buys from Macquarie without a Company Purchase Agreement, title and risk of loss to such Product shall pass to such Company Purchaser as such Product leaves the relevant outlet flange or other delivery point at which delivery is made to such Company Purchaser, at which point such Company Purchaser may further transfer title and risk of loss to such Product without restriction hereunder.
Section 2.7Additional Product Transactions.
(a)Proposed Third Party Transaction. Macquarie may, from time to time and only with Fuels or LW’s express consent, propose and agree to sell quantities of Products in transactions to third parties not introduced to Macquarie pursuant to Section 2.2(a) above or executed with Company Purchasers under Section 2.6(a) (other than the SIP) (each, an “Additional Product Transaction”). Promptly after entering into an Additional Product Transaction, Macquarie shall advise Fuels and LW of the Product quantities and delivery periods for that Additional Product Transaction.
(b)Adjustment to Target Volume. For any calendar month in which quantities of Products are delivered by Macquarie under one or more Additional Product Transactions entered into during such month, the Target Month End Product Volume of any such Product for the end of such month shall be reduced by the aggregate net quantity of such Product so delivered to the extent such Additional Product Transactions are entered into after such Target Month End Product Volume is established.
(c)Definition. To confirm the intended scope of the term Additional Product Transaction, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Additional Product Transactions apply only to quantities of Products held in the Storage Facilities and not to any other transactions involving fuels to which Macquarie may be a party or to any transaction between Macquarie and the SIP under the SIP-Macquarie Products Sales and Purchase Agreement.
Section 2.8SIP Transactions
The Parties acknowledge that all Products, to the extent of the forecasted volumes established pursuant to Section 2.2 of the SIP-Macquarie Products Sales and Purchase Agreement, other than non-finished fuels, jet fuels and intermediates, are expected to be sold by Macquarie to the SIP pursuant to the SIP-Macquarie Products Sales and Purchase Agreement, and re-sold by the SIP to LW and Fuels pursuant to the SIP-Company Products Sales and Purchase Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit or otherwise restrict Macquarie’s right to deliver Products in accordance with the SIP-Macquarie Products Sales and Purchase Agreement.

MASTER CRUDE OIL AND PRODUCTS AGREEMENT
This Master Crude Oil and Products Agreement (this “Master Agreement”) is made and entered into as of June 19, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), by and among Macquarie Energy North America Trading Inc. (“MENAT”), a Delaware corporation, located at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000 Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, Calumet Shreveport Fuels, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company (“Fuels”), and Calumet Shreveport Lubricants & Waxes, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“LW”), each located at 0000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 (each such forgoing person referred to individually as a “Party” or, collectively, as the “Parties”; provided that for purposes of any payment provision, any netting provision or any calculation hereunder, Fuels and LW will be combined and aggregated together and will constitute and be referred to, together, as a “Party”).
WHEREAS, LW owns and operates a crude oil refinery located in Shreveport, Louisiana (the “Refinery”) for the processing and refining of Crude Oil and other feedstocks and the recovery therefrom of refined Products;
WHEREAS, the Parties entered into the Supply and Offtake Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (together with all schedules, exhibits, and annexes thereto, the “Supply and Offtake Agreement”) (unless otherwise defined or stated herein, capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to such terms as defined in the Supply and Offtake Agreement), pursuant to which, among other things, Fuels and LW, on the one hand, and MENAT, on the other hand, have agreed to purchase and sell Crude Oil to each other and to purchase and sell (and deliver) certain refined Products produced by the Refinery to each other, as more fully described therein and upon the terms and conditions set forth therein;
WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed that, for the term of the Supply and Offtake Agreement, Fuels and LW and MENAT will enter into a “Master Agreement” pursuant to which the terms and conditions of the purchase and sale of Crude Oil and Products would be governed;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the respective promises, conditions, terms and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties do agree hereby as follows:
1. | Purchases and Sales of Crude |
The terms of all Crude Oil purchases, sales, or exchanges between Fuels and LW, as applicable, on the one hand, and MENAT, on the other hand, entered into in connection with the Supply and Offtake Agreement or the Marketing and Sales Agreement (the “MSA”) dated as of the date hereof, shall be governed by the Conoco General Provisions for Domestic Crude Oil Agreements, dated January 1, 1993 (as amended by Exhibit A and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the “Crude Contract”).
2. | Purchases and Sales of Product |
The terms of all Product purchases, sales, or exchanges between Fuels and LW, as applicable, on the one hand, and MENAT, on the other hand, entered into in connection with the Supply and Offtake Agreement or the MSA shall be governed by the 2015 edition of the BP Global Oil Americas General Terms & Conditions for Purchases and Sales of Crude Oil, Refined Petroleum and Related Products (as amended by the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the “Products Contract” and together with the Crude Contract, the “Contracts” and each, a “Contract”).
3. | Payment |
All payments owing under each Crude Oil transaction and each Products transaction (each individually referred to as a “Transaction” and collectively, “Transactions”) shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Supply and Offtake Agreement. For the sake of clarity, any amounts owing under Article 10 of the Supply and Offtake Agreement for Transactions shall be net such that all amounts owing on a particular day shall result in a single net payment by the owing Party to the owed Party. The Parties agree that if on any date amounts are due and payable by each Party to the other, then, on such date, each Party’s obligation to make payment of any such amounts will be automatically satisfied and discharged by netting the aggregate amount payable by one Party against the aggregate amount payable by the other Party and replacing those payment obligations with a single payment obligation (such obligation, a “Net Payment Amount”) of the Party(ies) owing the larger such aggregate amount to pay the net difference between such aggregate amounts to the other Party(ies) on the applicable payment date by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Parties shall cooperate to calculate the aggregate mutual amounts due and payable to or from each Party by examining the payments due on each applicable payment date and determining which Party is the net payer and which is the net receiver. For purposes hereof, in respect of any amounts (i) due to Fuels and to LW by MENAT or (ii) owed by Fuels and by LW to MENAT, such amounts, in each case, will be combined and aggregated together, as a total amount due to or owing by, as applicable, Fuels and LW.
4. | Guaranty |
The obligations and liabilities of Fuels and LW, collectively, hereunder shall at all times be guaranteed by (and subject to the terms, provisions and limitations (including any cap on liability) set forth in) that certain Guaranty Agreement, dated as of even date hereof, executed by Calumet Specialty Products Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, in favor of MENAT.
5. | Events of Default |
“Event of Default” shall have the meaning set forth in the Supply and Offtake Agreement. An Event of Default under the Supply and Offtake Agreement shall be an Event of Default under this Master Agreement and under each and every Transaction.
6. | Termination Netting Provisions |
a.Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to a Party, whether one or more in the case of Fuels and LW (the “Defaulting Party”), including in respect of one or more Transaction(s) between the Parties, the other Party, whether one or more in the case of Fuels and LW (the “Non-defaulting Party”), shall have the right, in addition to all other remedies available hereunder or at law and under the Supply and Offtake Agreement, to (i) withhold or refuse additional deliveries or otherwise suspend performance under any Transactions without prior notice, (ii) withhold any payments due to the Defaulting Party under this Master Agreement, (iii) apply the proceeds from or otherwise realize upon any performance assurance, security or other credit support provided by the Defaulting Party, (iv) offset any payments or deliveries due to the Defaulting Party under any Contract or other transactions between the Parties, and (v) on at least one (1) but no more than twenty (20) days’ written notice to the Defaulting Party, designate a day to be the date of which all Transactions terminate (the “Early Termination Date”). If either Fuels or LW is the Defaulting Party, each of Fuels and LW, together, will be and will constitute the Defaulting Party for all purposes herein. If MENAT is the only Defaulting Party, each of Fuels and LW, together, will be and will constitute the Non-defaulting Party.
b.On the Early Termination Date, all delivery obligations of the Parties under each Transaction shall terminate (each individually referred to as a “Terminated Transaction” and collectively, “Terminated Transactions”) and the Non-defaulting Party shall, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, calculate the Close-Out Value (as defined below) for each Terminated Transaction. If the Close-Out Value is positive, such amount shall be due to the buyer under such Terminated Transaction. If such Close-Out Value is negative, such amount shall be due to the seller under such Terminated Transaction. If such Close-Out Value is zero (0), no Close-Out Value shall be due to either Party. The Close-Out Value for each Terminated Transaction in respect of Fuels and LW will be aggregated together for all purposes hereunder. The Non-defaulting Party shall aggregate all amounts due between the Parties into a single net amount (the “Net Termination Payment”) by aggregating or setting-off, as appropriate, (i) the Close-Out Value for each Terminated Transaction and (ii) all unpaid amounts due and owing between the Parties. The Net Termination Payment will be included into the “Settlement Amount” in Subsection 19.2(b) of the Supply and Offtake Agreement. To the extent permitted under the Supply and Offtake Agreement, the Defaulting Party shall also be liable to the Non-defaulting Party for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and enforcement costs resulting from any Event of Default.
c.NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 6 SHALL BE EFFECTIVE TO CREATE A CHARGE OR OTHER SECURITY INTEREST. NO PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MASTER AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LAW, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONTINGENT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES UNDER A TRANSACTION.
d.For the purposes of the foregoing:
“Close-Out Value” means, for each Terminated Transaction, the Market Value minus the Contract Value (as defined below) at the Early Termination
Date, adjusted for the following amounts owing from the Defaulting Party to the Non-Defaulting Party: (i) any brokerage fees, commissions and other similar third party transactional costs and expenses incurred by the Non-defaulting Party as a result of entering into new arrangements to replace Terminated Transactions, (ii) the Non-defaulting Party’s cost of replacing or liquidating commercially reasonable xxxxxx or trading positions related to the Terminated Transactions, (iii) any costs incurred by the Non-defaulting Party in exercising its rights in respect of any performance assurance, security or credit support for the Defaulting Party’s obligations under the Crude Contract, the Products Contract, the Supply and Offtake Agreement and any of the other Transaction Documents, and (iv) any legal costs and fees incurred by the Non-defaulting Party.
“Contract Value” means, for each Terminated Transaction, the present value of the remaining delivery obligations based on the price payable under the applicable Contract and a discount rate determined by the Non-Defaulting Party in a commercially reasonable manner.
“Market Value” means, for each Terminated Transaction, the present value of the remaining delivery obligations based on then-current market prices as determined by the Non-defaulting Party in a commercially reasonable manner, and the Non-defaulting Party may consider, among other things, settlement prices for futures contracts, quotations from leading dealers, bona fide third party offers and a discount rate reasonably selected by the Non-defaulting Party in order to establish such market value.

The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of, or Event of Default or Default under, this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other breach of that provision or as a waiver of any breach of another provision of, Event of Default or potential Event of Default under, this Agreement, whether of a like kind or different nature.
20.2Each and every right granted to the Parties under this Agreement or allowed it by law or equity, shall be cumulative and may be exercised from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof and Applicable Law.

21.2No Party shall have the right or authority to negotiate, conclude or execute any contract or legal document with any third person on behalf of the Parties; to assume, create, or incur any liability of any kind, express or implied, against or in the name of any of the other Parties; or to otherwise act as the representative of any of the other Parties, unless expressly authorized in writing by such other Party.
22.Miscellaneous.
22.1If any Article, Section or provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be null and void, voidable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, then for such period that the same
is void or invalid, it shall be deemed to be deleted from this Agreement and the remaining portions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
22.2The terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the matters set forth in this Agreement, and no representations or warranties shall be implied or provisions added in the absence of a written agreement to such effect between the Parties. This Agreement shall not be modified or changed except by written instrument executed by the Parties’ duly authorized representatives, and consented to in writing by the SIP to the extent adversely affecting the rights of the SIP hereunder.
22.3No promise, representation or inducement has been made by any of the Parties that is not embodied in this Agreement, and none of the Parties shall be bound under this Agreement by or liable for any alleged representation, promise or inducement not so set forth.
22.4Time is of the essence with respect to all aspects of each Party’s performance of any obligations under this Agreement.
22.5The Parties acknowledge that under the terms of the BP-Macquarie Purchase and Sale Agreement and the BP-Calumet Purchase and Sale Agreement, of even date herewith (the “SIP Agreements”), the SIP will purchase Products from Macquarie at the outlet flange to the Refinery Product Storage Tanks and immediately resell such Products to LW under the BP-Calumet Sale Agreement. The SIP shall thus hold title and risk of loss to Products at the outlet flange of the Refinery Product Storage Tank (together with any other portions of the Storage Facilities where the SIP holds title, the “SIP Storage Facilities”). For the avoidance of doubt, the SIP shall not hold title and risk of loss to any Products while they are held in the Refinery Product Storage Tanks. LW grants to the SIP the right to hold Products in the SIP Storage Facilities to the extent reasonably necessary to perform under the SIP Agreements, and further agrees to provide the SIP and its designated inspector(s) access to the measurement and storage facilities to the extent applicable to the SIP Storage Facilities. LW and Fuels further agree that their representations, covenants and obligations hereunder shall also be for the benefit of the SIP as an intended beneficiary to the extent related to the SIP or to Products owned by the SIP, including without limitation (i) the indemnities in Section 14.1; and (ii) the provisions of Sections 6, 7 and 8 with respect to the performance of services relating to, the audit and inspection of facilities storing, and the measurement and testing of, Products owned by the SIP. LW shall provide the SIP with a copy of any notice from LW to Macquarie hereunder to the extent relating to the SIP Storage Facilities or Products owned by the SIP, and expressly agrees to notify the SIP of any spill, leak or discharge of any Products owned by the SIP and operations related thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that the warehouseman’s lien of LW as provided in Section 5.4 does not apply to Products owned by the SIP, and LW hereby waives any rights it would otherwise have to a lien on Products owned by the SIP. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended to create any rights, obligations or benefits under this Agreement in any person other than the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns, and the SIP as provided herein.
22.6All audit rights, payment, confidentiality and indemnification obligations and obligations under this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
22.7This Agreement may be executed by the Parties in separate counterparts and initially delivered by facsimile transmission or otherwise, with original signature pages to follow, and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
22.8All transactions hereunder are entered into in reliance on the fact this Agreement and all such transactions constitute a single integrated agreement between the Parties, and the Parties would not have otherwise entered into any other transactions hereunder.

Security Interests in Collateral
SECTION 2.01Security Interest. (a) As security for the payment and performance, as the case may be, in full of the Companies’, and their Affiliates’, obligations and liabilities, including, without limitation, the Transaction Obligations as defined in the S&O Agreement, under the S&O Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Obligations”), each Company hereby grants to Secured Party, and its permitted successors and assigns, a continuing security interest (the “Security Interest”) in and to, and a right of set off against, all right, title and interest in or to any and all of the following assets and properties now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by each Company or in which each Company now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest (collectively, the “Collateral”):
(i)All Hydrocarbon Credit Support, as defined in the S&O Agreement; and
(ii)all insurance Proceeds of any Hydrocarbon Credit Support and all identifiable cash Proceeds of such insurance Proceeds;
provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the term “Collateral” and each of the defined terms incorporated therein shall exclude all Accounts and Proceeds of Accounts (including cash) and all other Proceeds of Hydrocarbon Credit Support other than insurance Proceeds and identifiable cash Proceeds of such insurance Proceeds (collectively, the “Excluded Assets”).
To the extent that the S&O Agreement and any other Transaction Documents are ever re-characterized to be a financing transaction by a court of competent jurisdiction, by a final and non-appealable order, or as otherwise determined by any other applicable Governmental Authority, the result of which causes ownership of any Inventory constituting or consisting of Hydrocarbons, including Crude Oil and Product, located at any Included Location, as determined by such re-characterization, not to be owned by and titled in the name of Secured Party, but rather, as a result of such re-characterization, to be owned by and titled in the name of either or both of the Companies, each Company, as security for not only the Obligations, but also for amounts paid by Secured Party to either or both of the Companies as purchase price transactions, which are re-characterized as financing transactions as loans or other extensions of credit from Secured Party to either or both of the Companies (such amounts herein, the “Other Obligations”), hereby grants to Secured Party and its permitted successors and assigns, a continuing security interest, to be effective as of the date of this Agreement, in and to, and a right of set off against, all right, title and interest in or to, all such Inventory constituting or consisting of Hydrocarbons, including Crude Oil and Product, sold by either or both of the Companies to Secured Party pursuant to the S&O Agreement and, as a result of any such re-characterization, from time to time owned by either or both of the Companies and located at any Included Location, and all insurance Proceeds of such foregoing property and all identifiable cash Proceeds of such insurance Proceeds (the “Protective Lien”); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) no Protective Lien is granted with respect to any Excluded Assets, and (b) Included Locations shall be limited to those locations set forth in the S&O Agreement as of the Commencement Date, unless any other location from time to time has been expressly approved in writing by Secured Party and the Companies as constituting an “Included Location”. The foregoing Protective Lien is precautionary in nature and shall not (nor shall it be construed to be) in any way diminish or limit the Secured Party’s title to or ownership of the property referred to in such foregoing grant. For purposes of the Protective Lien, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under the New York UCC. Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right to enforce any of the terms, provisions, or conditions of the Protective Lien with respect to any such foregoing property subject to such Protective Lien, and shall not be permitted to exercise any rights and remedies in respect of the Protective Lien under any Lien Document, unless and until such time as any such court of competent jurisdiction or any such other Governmental Authority makes any such re-characterization determination.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Security Interest granted hereunder attach to any contract or agreement to which either Company is a party or to any of its rights or interests thereunder if and for so long as the grant of the Security Interest shall constitute or result in (1) the unenforceability of any right of such Company therein or (2) in a breach or termination pursuant to the terms of, or a default under, any such contract or agreement (other than to the extent that any such term would be rendered ineffective pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the New York UCC or any other applicable law or principles of equity); provided, however, that such Security Interest shall attach immediately at such time as the condition causing such unenforceability or such breach or termination or default, as applicable, shall be remedied and, to the extent severable, shall attach immediately to any portion of such contract or agreement that does not result in any of the consequences specified in clause (1) or (2) above, including any Proceeds of such contract or agreement.
(b) The Companies hereby irrevocably authorize Secured Party at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that contain the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment, including whether the applicable Company is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such applicable Company identifying the Collateral as collateral thereon. The Companies agree to provide such information to Secured Party promptly upon request. The Companies also ratify their respective authorization for Secured Party to file in any relevant jurisdiction any such initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.
(c) The Security Interest is granted as security only and shall not subject Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of either Company with respect to or arising out of the Collateral.
(d) The Companies and Secured Party agree and acknowledge that to the extent one or more schedules to the S&O Agreement are modified, supplemented or changed in anyway, such modification, supplement or change will, as applicable, be deemed to, and will, automatically, be reflected and incorporated in this Agreement.
SECTION 2.02Representations and Warranties. Each Company represents and warrants to Secured Party that:
(a)Except for the Security Interest of Secured Party granted in this Agreement and other Permitted S&O Liens, such Company has good and valid rights in, title to and interests in the Collateral, with respect to which it has purported to grant a Security Interest hereunder, free and clear of any other Liens, adverse claims or options, and has full power and authority to grant to Secured Party the Security Interest in such Collateral pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without the consent or approval of any other person other than any consent or approval that has been obtained.
(b)No other Lien, adverse claim or option has been created by such Company or is known by such Company to exist with respect to any Collateral other than Permitted S&O Liens; and to the actual knowledge of such Company, no financing statement or other security instrument is on file in any jurisdiction covering such Collateral, other than those in favor of Secured Party.
(c)At the time the Security Interest in favor of Secured Party attaches, good and defensible title to all after-acquired property included within the Collateral, free and clear of any other Liens or adverse claims other than the Secured Interest of Secured Party granted in this Agreement and other Permitted S&O Liens, will be vested in such Company.
(d)(i) Attached hereto as Schedule 1 is (a) the exact legal name of such Company as such name appears in its document of formation, (b) the jurisdiction of formation and the form of organization of such Company, (c) the organizational identification number, if any, assigned by such jurisdiction and (d) the address (including the county) of the chief executive office of such Company, and (ii) attached hereto as Schedule 2 is the name and address of any person that has, as of the date of this Agreement, possession from time to time of any Collateral with an aggregate market value greater than $50,000.
(e)The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid first priority security interest (subject to Permitted S&O Liens) in and to all the Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Obligations and (ii) when properly perfected by filing with the Delaware Department of State, shall constitute a perfected security interest to the extent that a security interest in such Collateral can be perfected by filing under the Uniform Commercial Code. No further or subsequent filing, recording, registration or other public notice of such Security Interest is necessary in any office or jurisdiction in order to perfect such Security Interest in all Collateral or to continue, preserve or protect such Security Interest except for continuation statements or for filings upon the occurrence of any of the events stated in Section 2.03(a) of this Agreement.
(f)Such Company is not a party to any license or other agreement which would materially limit Secured Party’s (or any of Secured Party’s transferees) right to sell, lease or otherwise use any Collateral upon Secured Party’s proper exercise of its rights or remedies hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents.
(g)Within the 12-month period preceding the date hereof, such Company has not purchased any of the Collateral consisting of goods in a bulk transfer or in a transaction which was outside the ordinary course of business of such Company’s seller.
SECTION 2.03Covenants. (a) No Company shall change (i) its corporate name, (ii) its form of organization, (iii) its Federal Taxpayer Identification Number or organizational identification number or (iv) its jurisdiction of organization, in each case, without providing written notice to Secured Party at least 30 days prior to any such change. Within five Business Days after Secured Party’s request therefor, the Companies shall execute and deliver all such additional documents and perform all additional acts as are necessary, including to perfect the Security Interest in the Collateral, or that Secured Party may reasonably request in order to continue or maintain the existence and priority of the Liens granted hereunder in the Collateral. The Companies agree promptly to notify Secured Party if any material portion of the Collateral owned or held by either Company is damaged or destroyed.
(b) Each Company agrees (i) to maintain, at its own cost and expense, such records with respect to the Collateral as are consistent with its current practices and in accordance with such prudent and standard practices used in industries that are the same as or similar to those in which such Company is engaged, and in any event, complete and accurate in all material respects, and, (ii) at such time or times as Secured Party may reasonably request, promptly to prepare and deliver to Secured Party a duly certified schedule or schedules in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party showing the identity, amount and location of any and all Collateral.
(c) Each Company agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver sign and deliver, alone or with Secured Party, any financing statements, security agreements or other document, procure any instruments or documents as may be reasonably requested by Secured Party, and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents, and take all such actions as Secured Party may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements or other documents in connection herewith or therewith. Each Company agrees to take steps reasonably requested by the Secured Party to protect the title to the Collateral.
(d) At its option, Secured Party may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Collateral that are not being contested in accordance with Section 15.2 of the S&O Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral to the extent the Companies fail to do so as required by this Agreement or the S&O Agreement, and the Companies agree to reimburse Secured Party upon written request for any payment made or any expense incurred by Secured Party pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing the Companies from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of the Companies with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the Transaction Documents,
(e) The Companies’ entry into this Agreement shall not relieve the Companies of any obligation to be observed or performed by the Companies under any contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.
(f) The Companies, at their own expense, shall maintain or cause to be maintained insurance covering physical loss or damage to the Collateral in accordance with the requirements set forth in Article 16 of the S&O Agreement. The Companies irrevocably make, constitute and appoint Secured Party (and all officers, employees or agents designated by Secured Party) as each Company’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of the applicable Company on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. In the event that the Companies at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required by the S&O Agreement or to pay any premium in whole or part relating thereto, Secured Party may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Companies hereunder or any Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as Secured Party deems advisable. All sums disbursed by Secured Party in connection with this paragraph, including reasonable out of pocket attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Companies to Secured Party and shall be additional Obligations secured hereby.
(g) Any person (other than Secured Party) or either Company at any time and from time to time holding all or any portion of the Collateral shall be deemed to, and shall, hold the Collateral as the agent of, and as pledge holder for, Secured Party. At any time and from time to time, Secured Party may give notice to any such person holding all or any portion of the Collateral that such Person is holding the Collateral as the agent and bailee of, and as pledge holder for, Secured Party, and obtain such Person’s written acknowledgment thereof, and the Companies shall, upon request, join with Secured Party in any such notice.
(h) Each Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each person from whom such Company leases any premises at which any Collateral is located, and from each other person at whose premises any Collateral is located (including any bailee, warehouseman or similar Person), (1) on or before the Commencement Date or (2) if later, within 45 days of the date such Company enters into a lease of or a contract to hold Collateral at any premises, any such
collateral access, subordination, landlord waiver, bailment, consent and estoppel agreements, as Secured Party may reasonably request, in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party in substantially the form of the “bailee’s letter” attached hereto as Exhibit A hereto. In the event that any such person becomes an Affiliate of either Company after the Commencement Date and from whom such Company leases any premises at which any Collateral is located, such Company will cause such person to deliver such bailee’s letter no later than 45 days after the date such person becomes an Affiliate of such Company.
(i) Secured Party may from to time (but it shall not be obligated to), inspect the Companies’ records concerning the Collateral in accordance with Article 23 of the S&O Agreement.
ARTICLE III
Remedies
SECTION 3.01Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that Secured Party shall have the right to, from time to time, apply, set-off, collect, sell in one or more sales, lease, or otherwise dispose of, any or all of the Collateral, in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing, in such order as Secured Party may elect, and may take any of or all of the following actions set forth herein below, at the same or different times, with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, without resistance or interference by the Companies, to take possession of the Collateral and without liability for trespass to enter any premises where the Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Collateral, and may so remove the Collateral from such premises, and, generally, in addition to the rights and remedies provided herein, in the other Transaction Documents and in any other documents relating to the Obligations, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the New York UCC or other Applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Companies agree that Secured Party shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of Applicable Law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral on any such premises at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as Secured Party shall deem appropriate. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of the Companies, and the Companies hereby waive (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which either Company now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
Secured Party shall give the Companies 10 days’ written notice (which the Companies agree is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of Secured Party’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as Secured Party may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as Secured Party may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as Secured Party
deems advisable, in its sole discretion (subject to any and all mandatory legal requirements). Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. Secured Party may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Secured Party until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but Secured Party shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section, Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of the Companies (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by Applicable Law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to Secured Party from one or more of the Companies as a credit against the purchase price, and Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to the Companies therefor. The Companies acknowledge that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such private sale shall not solely by reason thereof be deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Neither Secured Party’s compliance with Applicable Law nor its disclaimer of warranties relating to the Collateral shall be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; Secured Party shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and the Companies shall not be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after Secured Party shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, Secured Party may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions. For avoidance of doubt, Secured Party shall be entitled to any and all cash proceeds received upon the collection, sale or other disposition of any Collateral pursuant to the exercise of its remedies as set forth herein, including under law or in equity.
SECTION 3.02Access. In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) Secured Party shall have the right to enter and remain upon the various premises of the Companies without cost or charge to Secured Party, and use the same, together with materials, supplies, books and records of the Companies for the purpose of collecting and liquidating the Collateral, or for preparing for sale and conducting the sale of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure, auction or otherwise, (ii) Secured Party may
remove Collateral, or any part thereof, from such premises and/or any records with respect thereto, in order to effectively collect or liquidate such Collateral and (iii) if Secured Party exercises its right to take possession of the Collateral, the Companies shall also at their expense take any and all other actions reasonably requested by Secured Party to preserve and protect the security interest hereby granted in the Collateral, such as placing and maintaining signs indicating the security interest of Secured Party, appointing overseers for the Collateral and maintaining inventory records. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Secured Party remove any books and records relating to any Excluded Collateral from such premises or otherwise interfere with any secured creditor’s access to the Excluded Collateral or any books and records relating thereto.
SECTION 3.03Secured Party’s Duties. The powers conferred upon Secured Party by this Agreement are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Secured Party shall be under no duty whatsoever to make or give any presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor or other notice or demand in connection with any Collateral or the Obligations, or to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights against prior parties. Secured Party shall not be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Obligations or Collateral, or for any delay in so doing, nor shall Secured Party be under any duty to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. Secured Party shall use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession. Secured Party shall have no duty to comply with any recording, filing or other legal requirements necessary to establish or maintain the validity, priority or enforceability of, or Secured Party’s rights in or to, any of the Collateral.
Right of Set-Off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party may exercise any rights of set-off as provided for in Article 19.2 of the S&O Agreement, or otherwise as available under law or in equity.
SECTION 3.05Application of Proceeds. Secured Party shall apply all proceeds that it shall receive from any collection, sale or other disposition of Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, as follows:
FIRST, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by Secured Party in connection with such collection, sale or other disposition or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, the S&O Agreement or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and internal and outside legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by Secured Party hereunder or under the S&O Agreement or the other Transaction Documents on behalf of the Companies and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under the S&O Agreement or the other Transaction Documents;
SECOND, to the payment in full of the Obligations; and
THIRD, to the Companies or such other person as directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Upon any collection, sale or other disposition of Collateral by Secured Party (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of Secured Party
or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to Secured Party or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.
ARTICLE IV
Miscellaneous
SECTION 4.01Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Article 27 of the S&O Agreement.
SECTION 4.02Security Interest Absolute.

Re: Calumet Shreveport Fuels, LLC
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Macquarie Energy North America Trading Inc. (“we”, “us” or “Macquarie”) is a party to a Supply and Offtake Agreement dated as of June 19, 2017 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “S&O Agreement”) by and among Macquarie, Calumet Shreveport Fuels, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Fuels”), and Calumet Shreveport Lubricants & Waxes, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“LW”; together with Fuels, each a “Company” and, collectively, the “Companies”). The obligations of the Companies under such S&O Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, as defined in the S&O Agreement, will be secured by (among other things) inventory owned by Fuels consisting of certain finished and unfinished petroleum products (such foregoing petroleum products, herein “Products”) (the foregoing, collectively, the “Inventory”). We understand that Fuels has made arrangements with [NAME OF BAILEE], a [JURISDICTION] [ENTITY TYPE] (“Bailee”), and [NAME OF SERVICE PROVIDER], a [JURISDICTION] [ENTITY TYPE] (“[ABC]”; and together with Bailee, as applicable, each and collectively, “you”, and each a “Bailee Company” and, collectively, the “Bailee Companies”), for [(i) [ABC] to provide transportation services on the pipelines contemplated in the Transportation and Storage Agreement defined below (the “Pipeline”) owned and operated by [ABC] for certain of Fuels’ Products in connection with the operation of the “[Pipeline Facilities]” (as defined in the [Transportation and Storage Agreement]), and (ii) Bailee to provide certain storage, handling and terminalling services for certain of Fuels’ Products at the [Pipeline Facilities], in each case, pursuant to a Transportation Agreement among the Bailee Companies and Fuels, dated July 1, 2015 (as amended, the “[Transportation and Storage Agreement]”), governing, among other things, the aforesaid transportation, storage, handling and terminalling services to Fuels. Since certain of Fuels’ Products will be transported by, located at and stored in the [Pipeline Facilities], we request certain agreements from you in order to complete the documentation for the S&O Agreement].
By your signature below, you acknowledge (i) receipt of notice of our security interest in and to the Inventory (including Products), (ii) that you have not entered into any bailment or similar agreement with respect to any of Fuels’ Products with any other person or entity, other than Macquarie, and (iii) that you agree that you hold such Products, per the [Transportation and Storage Agreement], from time to time as agent and bailee for Macquarie’s benefit.
In order to induce Macquarie to enter into the S&O Agreement and to undertake obligations thereunder, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is acknowledged by the Bailee Companies, the Bailee Companies hereby agree that:
(A) (i) Bailee’s security interests in Fuels’ Products, if any, is, and shall at all times be, junior and subordinate to Macquarie’s security interest in the Inventory (including such Products), which Products may now or hereafter be situated at the Pipeline Facilities or otherwise under the control and possession of Bailee (whether Bailee is acting with respect to such Products located at the Pipeline Facilities as a consignee, lessee, bailee, licensee, or otherwise), (ii) upon written request, Bailee shall provide Macquarie, at Fuels’ cost and expense, with a copy of all such warehouse receipts, bills of lading, and other documents of title upon Macquarie’s reasonable request therefor, (iii) Bailee will not act to prevent such Products from being repossessed or removed by Macquarie at any time and from time to time, so long as the fees and expenses owed by Fuels under the Transportation and Storage Agreement to any Bailee Company by Macquarie or by Fuels have been paid in full, and (iv) upon no less than two (2) business days prior notice, Bailee will allow us, or our auditors or other agents or representatives reasonable access to the [Pipeline Facilities] from time to time during normal business hours to inspect such Products, subject to such reasonable health, safety and environmental protection rules and regulations as Bailee may reasonably require; and
(B) (x) [ABC]’s security interests in such Products, if any, is, and shall at all times be, junior and subordinate to Macquarie’s security interest in such Products, which Products may now or hereafter be located in the Pipeline or otherwise under the control and possession of [ABC] (whether [ABC] is acting with respect to such Products located in the Pipeline as a consignee, lessee, bailee, licensee, or otherwise), and (y) upon no less than two (2) business days prior notice, [ABC] will allow us, or our auditors or other agents or representatives reasonable access to review and inspect any records of [ABC] in respect of such Products, subject to any reasonable requirements that [ABC] may require, and upon written request, [ABC] will provide copies of such records to Macquarie.
In the event Macquarie determines that one or more of the Companies is in default of its respective obligations to Macquarie, the Bailee Companies agree to (i) use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Macquarie in its efforts to provide transportation, storage, handling and terminalling services, as applicable, with regard to certain of Fuels’ Products transported in the Pipeline to and otherwise located at the [Pipeline Facilities]; (ii) permit Macquarie to inspect, repossess, remove or otherwise deal with such Products located at the [Pipeline Facilities] (and otherwise deal with such Products located in the Pipeline) at such times as reasonably determined by Macquarie, but in any event during the Bailee Companies’ normal business hours; (iii) not hinder Macquarie in Macquarie’s enforcement of its rights and remedies in respect of its security interests in such Products so long as the fees and expenses owed by Fuels under the [Transportation and Storage Agreement] to the Bailee Companies by Macquarie or by Fuels have been paid in full; and (iv) either (a) permit Macquarie to retain the use of Bailee’s services for a period of time (not to exceed 90 days) reasonably agreed to by Macquarie and the Bailee Companies after notice by Macquarie to the Bailee Companies of Fuels’ default, whereby Macquarie agrees to pay for such services during said period of time at the Bailee’s prevailing regular rate as agreed upon by Bailee and Fuels as of the date of Fuels’ default [(including [ABC]’s prevailing regular rate for associated transportation services in respect of the Pipeline)]; provided that, Macquarie will not be responsible for any payments resulting from any prior obligations of Fuels under its arrangements with Bailee (or with [ABC]) other than the
payment of fees for the services rendered to Macquarie by Bailee (or by [ABC]) during that related period of time, or (b) provide to Macquarie and Fuels at least 30 days’ notice of Bailee’s request that Fuels’ Products are to be removed from the [Pipeline Facilities], and Macquarie will pay Bailee in advance based on the Bailee’s prevailing regular rate applicable to storage and handling of such Products at the [Pipeline Facilities] [(and [ABC]’s prevailing regular rate applicable to transportation)] during such 30 day period (or such greater period, as applicable). Macquarie shall, or shall cause Fuels, to reimburse the Bailee Companies for any reasonable out of pocket expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by the Bailee (or by [ABC]) with respect to the actions of Bailee (or of [ABC]) required in this paragraph.
Until further notice, you may, and you are hereby authorized to, release Fuels’ Product to Fuels, to any authorized agent or designee of Fuels or at Fuels’ request or direction and you may from time to time issue such warehouse receipts or documents of title (collectively, “Documents of Title”) for such Product to Fuels, and such Documents of Title may be negotiable or non-negotiable, as may be reasonably required under the circumstances in the applicable Bailee Company’s commercial judgement. However, upon receipt of our written direction to you, you agree (i) not to deliver any further Products of Fuels to Fuels or its authorized agent or designee, but to hold all such Products subject to our further direction, and (ii) to issue no further Documents of Title for such Products, except as directed by us in writing.
You shall have no liability to us or to the Companies if you comply with our written direction as described above and the other terms hereof, other than for losses caused by your gross negligence or willful misconduct. Fuels agrees that it will continue to pay all transportation, storage, handling and terminalling charges related to Fuels’ Products and will reimburse you for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred as a direct result of your compliance with the terms and provisions hereof and as otherwise provided in the written agreements between you and Fuels.
You further agree that none of Fuels’ Products located at the [Pipeline Facilities] shall be deemed by you to be fixtures.
In the event we, or any of our agents or representatives come onsite at your [Pipeline Facilities], we agree to indemnify, defend, and hold you and your employees, officers, directors, managers, members, parents, subsidiaries, affiliated companies, partners, agents and other representatives and each of their respective employees, officers, directors, managers, members, parents, subsidiaries, affiliated companies, partners, agents and other representatives harmless from and against any claim, liability, loss, demand or damage in connection with our, or our agent’s or representative’s, negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct while onsite at your [Pipeline Facilities], it being understood that our obligations under this sentence do not apply to any claim, liability, loss, demand or damage to the extent caused by your negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct.
[The Bailee Companies and Fuels hereby agree that Fuels shall not have breached (and the Bailee Companies hereby waive any such breach) Fuels’ representation set forth in Section 5.8.i of the Transportation Agreement regarding liens, claims, encumbrances and adverse claims to the extent that such representation relates to Macquarie’s liens, claims, encumbrances and adverse claims in and to the Inventory (including Products); provided that such agreement and waiver is
not intended to have, and shall not have, any effect on Fuels’ indemnification obligations as set forth in Section 5.8.i and Section 5.8.ii of the Transportation Agreement, all of which indemnification obligations remain in full force and effect.]
Nothing herein will be deemed to constitute an assumption of the [Transportation and Storage Agreement] or any provision of the [Transportation and Storage Agreement] by us. This agreement will be governed and controlled by, and interpreted under, the laws of the State of New York. You agree to notify your successors and assigns, of the existence of this agreement, which will be binding upon such successors and assigns. The agreements contained herein may only be modified or terminated in writing by the parties hereto and shall be binding (i) upon the successors and assigns of the undersigned parties, (ii) upon any successor owner or transferee of any of the Pipeline or the [Pipeline Facilities], and (iii) upon any purchasers of the Pipeline or the [Pipeline Facilities], portions thereof or related assets, including, including any mortgagee, from the undersigned parties.
This agreement may be transmitted and signed by facsimile, portable document format (PDF), and other electronic means. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall have the same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on the parties hereto.

We agree to notify you that the S&O Agreement has been terminated in accordance with the terms thereof within ten (10) days of the Bailee Subordination Termination Date.

Quality and Quantity
Section 4.1Determination of Quantity.
The quantity of Daily Products delivered hereunder shall be determined by measurement taken downstream at the measurement point for the Included Product Tanks (the “Measurement Point”), adjusted for gains or losses between the Delivery Point and the Measurement Point as determined by the Parties. The measurement shall be as reported by LW in the daily report summary, delivered to BP no later than 4:00 pm Eastern Time on the first (1st) Business Day following such delivery date. BP may from time to time and at its sole option and cost, use an independent inspector to audit and verify the accuracy of the Measurement Point meters and gauges (and if relevant, any evidence as to adjustments for gains or losses). LW and Calumet Fuels shall cooperate with BP to provide access to the independent inspectors. Any errors or omissions discovered by the independent inspector shall be promptly corrected.
Section 4.2Determination of Quality.
The quality of the Products shall be determined by LW in the Included Product Tanks utilizing volumetrically correct composite sampling. BP may from time to time and at its sole option and cost, use an independent inspector to audit and verify the accuracy of the quality measurement. LW and Calumet Fuels shall cooperate with BP to provide access to the Included Product Tanks for quality tests conducted by such independent inspector, as well as to any quality tests conducted by Macquarie or LW.
ARTICLE 5
STORAGE

(a) In the event of a purchase by BP of Products from Macquarie following the occurrence of a Closeout Event, LW and Calumet Fuels shall provide BP with such assistance as BP may from time to time reasonably request in order to assist in the removal of the Products from the Included Product Tanks. Further, in connection with such purchase, if requested by BP, LW and Fuels hereby consent to a partial assignment by Macquarie of its rights and obligations under the Storage Agreement as and to the extent related to the Included Product Tanks to BP, to the extent reasonably necessary or desirable to permit BP to protect, store, remove or resell the Products purchased from Macquarie and located in the Included Product Tanks.
(b) If Calumet Fuels or LW does not immediately purchase from BP all Products acquired by BP from Macquarie following the occurrence of a Closeout Event, for any reason other than breach by BP, or if for any reason the Storage Agreement ceases to be in full force and effect, including without limitation as a result of breach or bankruptcy of or by Calumet Fuels or LW, then LW agrees to permit BP to continue to store (on the same rental terms and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as BP would have been able to effect such storage had Macquarie assigned to BP the applicable part of Macquarie’s rights to store Products under the Storage Agreement) all Products purchased under this Agreement, upon request from BP, until such time as BP can either (i) sell such Products to Calumet Fuels or LW, or (ii) make reasonable arrangements to sell such Products to third parties.

Section 6.4Early Termination Events. Subject to Section 6.5, BP may terminate this Agreement effective immediately by written notice to LW or Calumet Fuels if (i) either or both of LW or Calumet Fuels has become Bankrupt (as defined below), or (ii) is subject to an Event of Default under the Supply and Offtake Agreement, unless such Event of Default is capable of cure by LW or Calumet Fuels and is cured within five (5) business days, or (iii) either or both of the Supply and Offtake Agreement or the Macquarie Purchase and Sale Agreement terminate or cease to be in effect for any reason, unless in each case immediately replaced by a successor or replacement agreement in a comparable form reasonably acceptable to BP.
Section 6.5Closeout. The terms and provisions of Article 7 (Closeout Purchase), and all other provisions of this Agreement other than Article II (Purchase and Sale of Daily Products and Forecasts) and Article III (Daily Product Price and Purchase), shall specifically survive the termination of this Agreement and be applicable upon the occurrence of a Closeout Event.
ARTICLE 7
CLOSEOUT PURCHASE
Section 7.1Closeout Event. For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Closeout Event” has the meaning set forth in the Macquarie Purchase and Sale Agreement.
Section 7.2Closeout Sale. If upon or after a Closeout Event Macquarie requires BP to purchase its inventory of Products under the Macquarie Purchase and Sale Agreement, then BP shall sell, and Calumet Fuels shall purchase, all Products in the Included Product Tanks which BP purchased from Macquarie. Such sale shall take place in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, except that the delivery of Products from BP to Calumet Fuels will occur In Situ, and title and risk of loss shall pass to Calumet Fuels in the Included Product Tanks where the Products are then located. The price to be paid by Calumet Fuels for each such Product shall equal the price associated with such Product on Schedule F and identified as being the price paid upon the consummation of such sale on the date of such Closeout Sale. Calumet Fuels and LW agree that they shall be jointly and severally liable for such purchase obligations. In the event of such sale following a Closeout Event, if Calumet Fuels fails to perform, LW shall upon request from BP purchase all the Products in the Included Product Tanks owned by BP as provided above. If Calumet Fuels or LW do not promptly purchase all such Products from BP upon request, then BP may, at its sole option, elect to sell the unpurchased Products to any other party in any commercially reasonable manner. In such event, BP may recover
from Calumet Fuels and LW any shortfall of the resale price below the purchase price under this Agreement, plus any reasonable expenses incurred by BP in storing, transporting to the point of resale and reselling such Products, including inspector fees and other incidental costs, but subtracting any savings from such resale.
Section 7.3Determination of Quality and Quantity upon Closeout.
(a) The quantity and quality of Products sold by BP to Calumet Fuels or to LW upon Closeout shall be the Definitive Closeout Volume as determined by the Independent Inspection Company appointed by BP and Macquarie under the terms of the Macquarie Purchase and Sale Agreement, except as otherwise provided under Section 7.3.
(b) If for any reason BP and Macquarie do not appoint an Independent Inspection Company in connection with the Closeout Sale from Macquarie to BP, then BP may appoint an independent inspector of its own choosing. Such independent inspector appointed by BP under this Section 7.3 shall conduct such physical inventory pursuant to its customary procedures and in accordance with the latest ASTM standards and principles then in effect, provided that the Independent Inspection Company or independent inspector shall be instructed by BP to maximize, to the extent reasonably practicable, the extent to which tank measurements are conducted on a static tank basis. Each of BP and Calumet shall have the right to witness or appoint a representative to witness on its behalf, any survey of the physical inventory conducted by an independent inspector under this Section 7.2(b).
(c) Calumet Fuels or LW shall pay to BP the Estimated Closeout Value as determined under the Macquarie Purchase and Sale Agreement on the third business day after the Closeout Date. Upon determination of the Definitive Closeout Date Value under the Macquarie Purchase and Sale Agreement, BP shall notify Calumet Fuels and LW of such value. Upon such final determination of the Definitive Closeout Date Value, if the Definitive Closeout Date Value exceeds the Estimated Closeout Date Value, the difference shall be due from Calumet Fuels to BP and if the Estimated Closeout Date Value exceeds the Definitive Closeout Date Value, the difference shall be due from BP to Calumet Fuels, and in either case, such amount shall be payable with two (2) Business Days of such final determination. BP may, at its option, set off against any amount due to Calumet Fuels or LW upon determination of the Definitive Closeout Date Value any amounts owing from Calumet Fuels or LW to BP for any breach or nonperformance under this Agreement by Calumet Fuels.

Section 8.2No Abandonment of Rights. 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.
Section 8.3Rights Cumulative. The Non-Defaulting Party’s rights under this Agreement (including this Article 8) 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 that may from time to time be provided in connection with this Agreement.
