Operations, Receipts and Deliveries. 5.1 Receipts and deliveries of Product will be handled within the normal business hours of the Terminal. Owner may, without Customer’s approval, make temporary changes in business hours or temporarily close any Terminal or Storage Tank because of an extraordinary event (“Temporary Event”); provided, however, that a Temporary Event shall not include events caused by failure of equipment that Owner is obligated to maintain pursuant to this Agreement. Owner will notify Customer of such Temporary Event in advance, or as soon after implementation as is practicable. Except as required pursuant to Sections 5.2, 10.1, or 19 of this Agreement, Owner will not be responsible for the payment of any costs incurred by Customer or its transportation carrier for any delay in receiving or delivering Product or any other costs or fees, including freight, car leases and demurrage, as a result of such Temporary Event. 5.2 As part of the facility, Owner shall make available to Customer facilities serving the Terminal for receiving and unloading of Product from Customer and loading Products to Customer or Customer’s carrier (such unloading and loading facilities, collectively, the “Loading Facilities”). The Loading Facilities, being used for purposes defined in Section 2.2, are available on a “first-come, first-served” basis. In no event will Owner be responsible for accruing any expense, including demurrage, for following Customer’s instructions for the Loading Facilities. Any demurrage shall be at Customer’s sole expense, unless and to such extent demurrage is established by Customer as caused by Owner’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Owner and Customer agree to use reasonable efforts to minimize any demurrage that may be incurred by Customer in accordance with the foregoing. Customer acknowledges that Owner requires Third Parties operating on Customer’s behalf and entering or accessing the Terminal to have separate access or service agreements with Owner. Owner will put in place agreements with any such Third Parties and Owner, at its sole discretion, will approve, negotiate and finalize such agreements. Owner will notify Customer of Third Parties operating on Customer’s behalf that are denied access to the Terminal. 5.3 Customer must arrange for and pay all costs related to the delivery of Customer’s Product to the Terminal and Third-Party costs from the Storage Tanks. Owner is not responsible for such Third-Party costs except as otherwise specifically provided herein. Unless otherwise provided by Owner in writing, Customer must provide notice reasonably acceptable to Owner containing all necessary instructions, including without limitation, the identity and quantity and any other specifications of the Product and the tentative date of delivery to the Terminal (“Scheduling Notice”). The Scheduling Notice may also be provided to Owner by Customer through electronic communications in the form of email. The Parties shall reasonably coordinate with each other in advance with regard to scheduling of all Product movements and the in-bound quality, volume, and grade, the times of delivery to Terminal, and all material movements prior to shipment of all Product delivered to Owner hereunder. Each Scheduling Notice delivered hereunder to Owner by Customer for deliveries of Product to a Terminal shall be sent to those individuals that Owner has specified to Customer to receive such Scheduling Notice for the applicable Terminal with respect to such Product delivery. 5.4 Upon receipt by Owner of instructions from Customer, Owner will deliver to Customer, or to such Third Parties as Customer may direct, the Product held by Owner in the Storage Tanks for the account of Customer. Customer is responsible for providing to Owner documentation required to authorize deliveries for or on its behalf from the Terminal. 5.5 Owner will provide the Services to Customer only with respect to Product. Customer will have access to the Terminal and Storage Tanks for other products only with prior written notice to and consent by Owner, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any other product approved by Owner will then become part of Product as defined in this Agreement. If a special method of providing the Services is required for the Product, then Customer must notify Owner in sufficient time to enable Owner to consider whether, in Owner’s sole discretion, it will accept the proposed changes in the method of delivering the Services and to take the necessary preparatory measures if it agrees with such changes. Absent such notice and absent Owner’s written approval with respect to a change in the Product to another Product or the method of delivering the Services, Owner will not be liable for losses, tank heels, line fill or damage incurred during the terminalling and storage of Product (except for losses and damages resulting from Product Loss), nor will Owner be obligated to provide such special Service. It is understood that the cost of any additional or special equipment required by Customer or of alterations made necessary by the nature of Product will be for the account of Customer, and Customer will be responsible for the expense of any necessary cleaning and restoration to their previous condition of the Terminal and Storage Tanks, including, without limitation, pumps, tank heels and loading facilities, unless otherwise explicitly stated in this Agreement. All fixtures, equipment, and appurtenances attached to the Storage Tanks will be installed by the Owner and will remain the property of Owner. 5.6 If any Storage Tank is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Owner will use reasonable efforts to make other storage tanks available to Customer at the monthly tankage fee as set forth in the applicable Schedules. If other storage tanks are unavailable, the monthly tankage fee, together with Owner’s requirement to handle the volume of Product in consideration of said monthly Storage Fee as set forth in the applicable Schedules, shall be reduced by a prorated amount equal to the tank capacity that is unusable by Customer for the purposes set forth herein. This abatement shall continue until the damaged or destroyed tank is repaired and ready for service, or until a substitute tank is provided and Owner is able to handle the required volume of Product. If, however, such tank is not damaged as a result of an event of Force Majeure and is not repaired and returned to its prior existing capacity within nine (9) Months after the date on which the damage or destruction occurred, and a substitute tank is not provided and Owner cannot handle the volume of Product in consideration, the Customer shall have the right to terminate that storage capacity from this Agreement upon written notice to Owner. Should such Storage Tank become repaired and returned to service after nine (9) Months, Customer shall have the right to add such Storage Tank to the applicable Schedule. If Customer does not add such Storage Tank to the applicable Schedules, Owner may lease such Storage Tanks to a Third Party or Third Parties. In the event the unavailability of a Storage Tank is a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Customer, any of its Affiliates, or their respective employees, directors, officers, representatives, agents, or contractors, the reduction in Storage Fee shall not apply. 5.7 Owner may take any Storage Tank out of service during the Term in order to perform scheduled inspections, maintenance or repairs. If a Storage Tank is out of service for forty-five (45) days or less, Customer will be obligated to continue to pay the applicable Storage Fees during such 45-day period such Storage Tank is out of service. If a Storage Tank is out of service for more than 45 days for any reason other than Force Majeure or the negligence or willful misconduct of Customer, any of its Affiliates, or their employees, directors, officers, representatives, agents or contractors: (a) Owner, at Owner’s option and at Owner’s cost, may move Customer’s Product to substantially equivalent alternate tank(s) while the original Storage Tank is out of service, and Customer will continue to pay the applicable Storage Fees; (b) if Owner has not affected Customer’s capacity to receive or deliver Products while the Original Storage Tank is out of service, Customer will continue to pay any Storage Fee applicable to the original Storage Tank; or (c) after the 45 days that the Storage Tank is out of service, Customer’s obligation to pay the applicable Storage Fees will be reduced as provided herein to address the loss of capacity available. The abatement shall continue until the storage capacity is repaired and ready for service, or until substitute storage is provided, or until Customer’s need to receive or deliver Products is unaffected at the Terminal. In the event the unavailability of a Storage Tank is a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Customer, any of its Affiliates, or their respective employees, directors, officers, representatives, agents or contractors, the reduction in Storage Fee shall not apply. 5.8 If any Governmental Authority requires installation of any improvement, alteration, or addition to any Terminal for purposes of compliance with Applicable Law, and if the installation would require Owner to make substantial and unanticipated capital expenditures, other than continued maintenance and capital expenditures not affected by such requirement, Owner will be entitled to impose a reasonable service surcharge (which surcharge may include the Owner’s cost of capital) in addition to the fees set out in Attachment A. Owner will notify Customer of (i) the cost of making any such improvement, alteration, or addition, after Owner’s efforts to mitigate such costs, (ii) when such improvement, alteration, or addition must be completed and (iii) the Owner’s reasonable estimate of the service surcharge related to the capital expenditure to be paid by Customer over the remaining Term. In calculating the surcharge, Owner shall calculate the cost of the improvement, alteration, or addition and the surcharge using reasonable assumptions and estimates. In addition to actual capital and installation costs, the costs to be recovered through the surcharge will include engineering and interest expense (at a rate of ***% over the prime lending rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal on the date of completion of such installation) and subsequent reasonable expenses, if any, of operating or maintaining such installation as reasonably determined by Owner. Owner will not be required to make any improvements, alterations, or additions to the Terminal or the Storage Tanks in such circumstance, unless Customer agrees to pay the surcharge. (a) If Customer elects, after commercially reasonable negotiation with Owner in good faith, not to pay the surcharge and the Owner chooses not to pay for such improvement, alteration or addition, and if the Services are not reduced by Owner’s decision to forego such improvement, alteration or addition, then the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, including those set forth in Attachment A. (b) If Customer elects, after commercially reasonable negotiation with Owner in good faith, not to pay the surcharge and the Owner would be required by the Governmental Authority to reduce or terminate the Services to be provided under this Agreement, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the charges to be assessed by Owner and paid by Customer for such reduced scope of services that can be provided at the Terminal in compliance with Applicable Law. If the Parties are unable to agree on the charges to be assessed by Owner and paid by Customer for the reduced scope of services within thirty (30) days after Owner’s notification to Customer as set forth in this Section 5.8, then this Agreement will terminate immediately with no further action by the Parties. (c) If Customer elects to pay the service surcharge, Owner shall proceed with the installation of the required improvement, alteration, or addition. Owner will calculate the surcharge required to recover the portion of Owner’s costs for the improvement, alteration, or addition attributable to Customer’s use of the impacted portion of the Terminal and/or Storage Tanks. The portion of Owner’s costs to be recovered through the surcharge to Customer shall equal the percentage of total revenues from the impacted segment of the Terminal and/or Storage Tanks attributable to Customer’s use of such Terminal or Storage Tank segment for the six (6) full Months preceding the date of Owner’s notice to Customer for the cost of the improvement, alteration, or addition. Customer may pay the surcharge either (A) in equal monthly installments over the remaining Term, with each monthly installment payment increased by an interest component calculated on the surcharge at a rate of ***% over the prime lending rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal on the date of completion of such installation, or (B) by paying the surcharge in one lump sum within thirty (30) days after completion of the required improvement, addition, or alteration. 5.9 Owner will provide tank heels at the Terminal to the extent that it currently owns such tank heels, on a tank-by-tank basis. At any time during the Term, Customer may be required to provide a tank heel for various reasons, including but not limited to required maintenance, repairs, or inspection. To the extent that Owner does not own tank heels at the Terminal on a tank-by-tank basis, Customer will be responsible for providing tank heels. Owner or Customer, as applicable, will retain ownership of the tank heels it provides. 5.10 If, at any time during the Term, a complaint is made regarding offensive or obnoxious odors emitted from the Product delivered to or stored at the Terminal, or if such Products violate any applicable regulation relating to odor, Owner shall notify Customer of such complaint or violation. In such case, Owner and Customer shall cooperate in good faith to investigate and determine the source of the odor, and shall mutually determine the best method to xxxxx such odor. If reasonable changes to the Product would fully or partially xxxxx the odor, Customer shall make such reasonable changes to xxxxx the odor. Owner shall not be obligated to accept Product reasonably known to have excessive potential for odor that may affect the Terminal’s property boundaries. If the Parties’ investigation determines that abatement of the odor requires the installation of additional equipment reasonably necessary to xxxxx the odor (“Abatement Equipment”) Owner shall undertake procurement and installation of the Abatement Equipment. Customer shall be responsible for and shall pay to or reimburse Owner for the cost of (i) the investigation to determine the cause of such odor, and (ii) the Abatement Equipment ((i) and (ii), the “Abatement Costs”), up to a maximum of $*** in the aggregate. Owner shall be responsible for all Abatement Costs in excess of $***. Except to the extent a defect in or failure of any of the equipment at the Terminal is the cause of such odor issue, Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Owner from and against any and all fines, assessments, damages, penalties, and other expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Owner as a result of such odor. If a defect in or failure of any of the equipment at the Terminal is the cause of such odor issue, Owner shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer from and against any and all fines, assessments, damages, penalties, and other expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Customer as a result of such odor. If at any time Customer desires to add Products to the Facilities in addition to those listed in Attachment B, such addition shall be subject to this Section 5.10.

Owner The Owners and Customer agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to minimize any demurrage that may be incurred by Customer in accordance with the foregoing. Customer acknowledges that Owner requires Third Parties operating on Customer’s behalf and entering or accessing the Terminal to have separate access or service agreements with Owner.

Any other product approved by Owner will then become part of Product as defined in this Agreement. If a special method of providing the Services is required for the Product, then Customer must notify Owner in sufficient time to enable Owner to consider whether, in Owner’s sole discretion, it will accept the proposed changes in the method of delivering the Services and to take the necessary preparatory measures if it agrees with such changes. Absent such notice and absent Owner’s written approval with respect to a change in the Product to another Product or the method of delivering the Services, Owner will not be liable for losses, tank heels, line fill or damage incurred during the terminalling and storage of Product (except for losses and damages resulting from Product Loss), nor will Owner be obligated to provide such special Service.

All fixtures, equipment, and appurtenances attached to the Storage Tanks will be installed by the Owner and will remain the property of Owner.
5.6 If any Storage Tank is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Owner will use reasonable efforts to make other storage tanks available to Customer at the monthly tankage fee as set forth in the applicable Schedules. If other storage tanks are unavailable, the monthly tankage fee, together with Owner’s requirement to handle the volume of Product in consideration of said monthly Storage Fee as set forth in the applicable Schedules, shall be reduced by a prorated amount equal to the tank capacity that is unusable by Customer for the purposes set forth herein. This abatement shall continue until the damaged or destroyed tank is repaired and ready for service, or until a substitute tank is provided and Owner is able to handle the required volume of Product. If, however, such tank is not damaged as a result of an event of Force Majeure and is not repaired and returned to its prior existing capacity within nine (9) Months after the date on which the damage or destruction occurred, and a substitute tank is not provided and Owner cannot handle the volume of Product in consideration, the Customer shall have the right to terminate that storage capacity from this Agreement upon written notice to Owner.

If Customer does not add such Storage Tank to the applicable Schedules, Owner may lease such Storage Tanks to a Third Party or Third Parties. In the event the unavailability of a Storage Tank is a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Customer, any of its Affiliates, or their respective employees, directors, officers, representatives, agents, or contractors, the reduction in Storage Fee shall not apply.
5.7 Owner may take any Storage Tank out of service during the Term in order to perform scheduled inspections, maintenance or repairs. If a Storage Tank is out of service for forty-five (45) days or less, Customer will be obligated to continue to pay the applicable Storage Fees during such 45-day period such Storage Tank is out of service. If a Storage Tank is out of service for more than 45 days for any reason other than Force Majeure or the negligence or willful misconduct of Customer, any of its Affiliates, or their employees, directors, officers, representatives, agents or contractors: (a) Owner, at Owner’s option and at Owner’s cost, may move Customer’s Product to substantially equivalent alternate tank(s) while the original Storage Tank is out of service, and Customer will continue to pay the applicable Storage Fees; (b) if Owner has not affected Customer’s capacity to receive or deliver Products while the Original Storage Tank is out of service, Customer will continue to pay any Storage Fee applicable to the original Storage Tank; or (c) after the 45 days that the Storage Tank is out of service, Customer’s obligation to pay the applicable Storage Fees will be reduced as provided herein to address the loss of capacity available. The abatement shall continue until the storage capacity is repaired and ready for service, or until substitute storage is provided, or until Customer’s need to receive or deliver Products is unaffected at the Terminal. In the event the unavailability of a Storage Tank is a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Customer, any of its Affiliates, or their respective employees, directors, officers, representatives, agents or contractors, the reduction in Storage Fee shall not apply.
5.8 If any Governmental Authority requires installation of any improvement, alteration, or addition to any Terminal for purposes of compliance with Applicable Law, and if the installation would require Owner to make substantial and unanticipated capital expenditures, other than continued maintenance and capital expenditures not affected by such requirement, Owner will be entitled to impose a reasonable service surcharge (which surcharge may include the Owner’s cost of capital) in addition to the fees set out in Attachment A. Owner will notify Customer of (i) the cost of making any such improvement, alteration, or addition, after Owner’s efforts to mitigate such costs, (ii) when such improvement, alteration, or addition must be completed and (iii) the Owner’s reasonable estimate of the service surcharge related to the capital expenditure to be paid by Customer over the remaining Term. In calculating the surcharge, Owner shall calculate the cost of the improvement, alteration, or addition and the surcharge using reasonable assumptions and estimates. In addition to actual capital and installation costs, the costs to be recovered through the surcharge will include engineering and interest expense (at a rate of ***% over the prime lending rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal on the date of completion of such installation) and subsequent reasonable expenses, if any, of operating or maintaining such installation as reasonably determined by Owner. Owner will not be required to make any improvements, alterations, or additions to the Terminal or the Storage Tanks in such circumstance, unless Customer agrees to pay the surcharge.
(a) If Customer elects, after commercially reasonable negotiation with Owner in good faith, not to pay the surcharge and the Owner chooses not to pay for such improvement, alteration or addition, and if the Services are not reduced by Owner’s decision to forego such improvement, alteration or addition, then the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, including those set forth in Attachment A.
(b) If Customer elects, after commercially reasonable negotiation with Owner in good faith, not to pay the surcharge and the Owner would be required by the Governmental Authority to reduce or terminate the Services to be provided under this Agreement, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the charges to be assessed by Owner and paid by Customer for such reduced scope of services that can be provided at the Terminal in compliance with Applicable Law. If the Parties are unable to agree on the charges to be assessed by Owner and paid by Customer for the reduced scope of services within thirty (30) days after Owner’s notification to Customer as set forth in this Section 5.8, then this Agreement will terminate immediately with no further action by the Parties.
(c) If Customer elects to pay the service surcharge, Owner shall proceed with the installation of the required improvement, alteration, or addition. Owner will calculate the surcharge required to recover the portion of Owner’s costs for the improvement, alteration, or addition attributable to Customer’s use of the impacted portion of the Terminal and/or Storage Tanks. The portion of Owner’s costs to be recovered through the surcharge to Customer shall equal the percentage of total revenues from the impacted segment of the Terminal and/or Storage Tanks attributable to Customer’s use of such Terminal or Storage Tank segment for the six (6) full Months preceding the date of Owner’s notice to Customer for the cost of the improvement, alteration, or addition. Customer may pay the surcharge either (A) in equal monthly installments over the remaining Term, with each monthly installment payment increased by an interest component calculated on the surcharge at a rate of ***% over the prime lending rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal on the date of completion of such installation, or (B) by paying the surcharge in one lump sum within thirty (30) days after completion of the required improvement, addition, or alteration.
5.9 Owner will provide tank heels at the Terminal to the extent that it currently owns such tank heels, on a tank-by-tank basis. At any time during the Term, Customer may be required to provide a tank heel for various reasons, including but not limited to required maintenance, repairs, or inspection. To the extent that Owner does not own tank heels at the Terminal on a tank-by-tank basis, Customer will be responsible for providing tank heels. Owner or Customer, as applicable, will retain ownership of the tank heels it provides.
5.10 If, at any time during the Term, a complaint is made regarding offensive or obnoxious odors emitted from the Product delivered to or stored at the Terminal, or if such Products violate any applicable regulation relating to odor, Owner shall notify Customer of such complaint or violation. In such case, Owner and Customer shall cooperate in good faith to investigate and determine the source of the odor, and shall mutually determine the best method to xxxxx such odor. If reasonable changes to the Product would fully or partially xxxxx the odor, Customer shall make such reasonable changes to xxxxx the odor. Owner shall not be obligated to accept Product reasonably known to have excessive potential for odor that may affect the Terminal’s property boundaries. If the Parties’ investigation determines that abatement of the odor requires the installation of additional equipment reasonably necessary to xxxxx the odor (“Abatement Equipment”) Owner shall undertake procurement and installation of the Abatement Equipment. Customer shall be responsible for and shall pay to or reimburse Owner for the cost of (i) the investigation to determine the cause of such odor, and (ii) the Abatement Equipment ((i) and (ii), the “Abatement Costs”), up to a maximum of $*** in the aggregate. Owner shall be responsible for all Abatement Costs in excess of $***. Except to the extent a defect in or failure of any of the equipment at the Terminal is the cause of such odor issue, Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Owner from and against any and all fines, assessments, damages, penalties, and other expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Owner as a result of such odor. If a defect in or failure of any of the equipment at the Terminal is the cause of such odor issue, Owner shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer from and against any and all fines, assessments, damages, penalties, and other expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Customer as a result of such odor. If at any time Customer desires to add Products to the Facilities in addition to those listed in Attachment B, such addition shall be subject to this Section 5.10.
