All such flushing materials or samples shall be the property of Customer, unless otherwise agreed to by Customer, shall be stored and handled by KM in accordance with written instructions given to KM by Customer, and shall be removed from KM’s property and properly disposed of, in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations at the reasonable expense of Customer, within thirty (30) days from the date of each flushing or from the last day of the applicable sample retention period.

Customer agrees to pay for the restoration of the Tanks and surrounding area and pay for all damage to KM’s Tank(s) or facilities caused by the removal of any such fixtures, equipment or appurtenances. Unless otherwise provided, taxes, insurance, maintenance and operating costs related to the Property will be paid by KM and are included in the rates charged to the Customer for warehousing services.

4
Tank constitutes (with respect to the Annual Minimum Payments, pro rated for the duration of such unavailability). This abatement shall continue so long as such damaged or destroyed Tank is not repaired and ready for service. KM may, but shall not be required to, repair or replace such damaged or destroyed Tank. Should KM elect not to repair or replace such damaged or destroyed Tank, KM will provide Customer notice of its intent as soon as practical after such damage or destruction occurs, but in no event later than 60 days after the date of such damage or destruction occurs. If KM fails to provide Customer with such notice within this 60 day period, KM will be deemed to have agreed to repair or replace the Tank, and will use best efforts to complete such repair or replacement. If KM elects not to repair or replace the Tank, Customer shall have the option of terminating this Agreement on 10 days written notice to KM.
(f) Waste Water. Customer shall reimburse to KM any and all of the actual costs incurred by KM, to handle and dispose of Customer’s water received from vessel, barge, or pipeline into the KM Tampa facility tankage, which shall be performed consistent with generally accepted industry standards and practices.

Receiving tanks will be gauged prior to ship’s discharge of inbound pipeline receipt by KM and may be witnessed by Customer or Customer’s independent surveyor for existing water content and again measured after receipt to verify any water received. This charge will be invoiced on a Quarterly basis that will reflect the amount of water handled and the actual cost of disposal.
(g) Terminal Operations. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the control, operation, and maintenance of the Terminal, the Tank and all equipment and facilities provided for in connection herewith shall rest exclusively with KM.
2. Quantity:

In the event Customer disputes any portion of any invoice, Customer shall promptly notify KM in writing of the disputed portion and pay the undisputed portion according to the terms of this paragraph. After receipt of notice, KM and Customer shall promptly meet to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice.

In the event of a default by Customer, a sum equal to the lesser of the Warehousing Charges for the whole unexpired term hereof or Warehousing Charges for twelve (12) months plus any other sums owed by Customer to KM, shall, at the option of KM, become immediately due and payable.

Further, if termination of this Agreement occurs as a result of a default by Customer, KM shall be reimbursed for the unamortized portion of such capital. The remedies herein provided for shall not be exclusive, but shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. The defaulting party shall pay any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the non-defaulting party in enforcing the terms of this Agreement including the expense of defense, collection, settlement and attorneys’ fees. The waiver by either party of any right of such party hereunder, at any time, shall not serve to waive any other such right nor shall such waiver operate as a waiver of the right so waived at any future date in connection with another default or a subsequent recurrence of the same default by the other party hereunder.
15. Assignment
This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that Customer shall not transfer, subcontract or assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of KM, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and any attempted transfer, subcontract or assignment without such consent shall be null and void and, at the option of KM, shall constitute a default by Customer hereunder. The consent of KM to such transfer, subcontract or assignment shall not operate to release Customer of its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Customer may permit any other party to store, or store on any other party’s behalf, Commodity in Tank(s) without KM’s prior written consent. Customer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide KM with written notice thereof reasonably in advance of such storage. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer may engage in the sale, transfer, or other disposition of Commodity while the same is stored in the Tank, in which event Customer shall provide KM with notice thereof within a reasonable period following the closing of any such transaction. If Customer permits storage by or on behalf of other parties, Customer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold KM harmless at Customer’s sole cost from and against any claims, liability or expense asserted by such other party against KM (except to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of KM, its employees, contractors, agents or invitees).
16. Notices
Notices to be given hereunder shall be deemed properly served on Customer when delivered in writing personally or by certified mail to Customer at the address shown in the Schedule and on KM when so delivered to KM (2101 GATX Drive, Tampa, Florida 33605) or, in either case, at such other address as shall be specified in a notice meeting the requirements of this paragraph.
17. Change of Ownership
Customer shall advise KM in writing of any change in Commodity ownership while in the Terminal. If any of Customer’s Commodity is sold, exchanged, or otherwise changes ownership while in the Terminal, Customer shall nonetheless be responsible for all charges, taxes, terms and conditions of this Agreement the same as if Commodity had been owned by Customer.
18. Additional Provisions
Additional provisions, if any, appearing hereafter or as an addendum hereto, are made a part hereof by reference thereto. This Agreement, together with any and all exhibits hereto, constitutes the entire agreement between KM and Customer and supersedes any and all terms and conditions which may be contained in any purchase orders issued by Customer prior or subsequent to this Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended, altered, or changed except by written agreement signed by both parties. Customer and KM agree that the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon both parties when KM receives Customer’s Commodity for storage and handling at the Terminal or when both parties have executed this Agreement, whichever occurs first. The parties agree that future amendments to this agreement may be memorialized by the exchange of facsimile copies on
11
equipment using plain paper.
