RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES
2.1 Rights and Obligations.
The Parties hereby enter into this Agreement for the purpose of setting forth their respective rights and obligations relating to the provision by Delek Refining of the SUMF Items to Delek Marketing in connection with Delek Marketing’s ownership, operation and maintenance of the Relevant Assets.
2.2 Nature of the Relationship.
(a) Except as provided herein, this Agreement shall not in any manner limit the Parties in carrying on their respective separate businesses or operations or impose upon any Party a fiduciary duty vis-à-vis the other Party.
(b) Delek Refining and Delek Marketing recognize that portions of each of their respective businesses and operations are conducted within the Refinery Site, and that necessary interactions result from such proximity. The respective businesses and operations of Delek Refining and Delek Marketing will be managed and conducted by them, as independent companies, and each may act and conduct its business and operations independently wherever possible. Further, Delek Refining and Delek Marketing recognize their mutual responsibility to support the capability of each other to continue to conduct their respective businesses and operations for routine and non-routine activities (including, but not limited to, start-ups, shut downs, turnarounds, emergencies and other infrequent events).
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement and no actions taken by the Parties shall constitute a partnership, joint venture, association or other co-operative entity among the Parties or authorize either Party to represent or contract on behalf of the other Party. Delek Refining, as the supplier of the SUMF Items, is acting solely as an independent contractor and is not an agent of Delek Marketing. The provision of the SUMF Items hereunder shall be under the sole supervision, control and direction of Delek Refining and not Delek Marketing.
(d) Notwithstanding Delek Marketing’s obligation to maintain and operate the Relevant Assets and Additional Improvements and comply with Applicable Law, Delek Refining and Delek Marketing acknowledge that Delek Refining shall, as required by any applicable Governmental Authorities, maintain air quality and other environmental permits in its name. Consequently and also for the ease of administration, Delek Refining shall maintain in its name the air quality and other environmental permits and other authorizations applicable to all, or part of, the Relevant Assets and Additional Improvements and shall be responsible for making any reports or other notifications to Governmental Authorities pursuant to such permits or Applicable Laws; provided that upon Delek Refining’s written request Delek Marketing shall apply for, obtain and maintain any such permits in its name. Nothing in this Agreement shall reduce Delek Marketing’s obligations under Applicable Laws with respect to the Relevant Assets and Additional Improvements.

ARTICLE 3
PROVISION OF SUMF ITEMS
3.1 Provision of SUMF Items.
(a) During the Term of this Agreement, Delek Refining shall make available and provide to Delek Marketing, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the SUMF Items described more fully on Exhibit A to this Agreement for use by Delek Marketing and any of its Affiliates and agents in connection with Delek Marketing’s ownership, operation and maintenance of the Relevant Assets and any Additional Improvements.
(b) If Delek Marketing reasonably believes in good faith that a SUMF Item provided is not of the quality or quantity necessary to operate and maintain the Relevant Assets and any Additional Improvements as currently operated and maintained, Delek Marketing may deliver written notice of such claim. If Delek Refining does not reasonably satisfy Delek Marketing’s claim pursuant to the foregoing sentence within 30 days after receipt of such notice (or if such claim is of a nature that cannot be resolved within 30 days, if Delek Refining does not commence to satisfy such claim within 30 days after receipt of such notice and thereafter diligently pursue satisfying such claim to completion), then Delek Marketing may reject such SUMF Item and submit a proposal to Delek Refining to reduce the amount of the Annual Service Fee. If Delek Refining refuses to reduce the Annual Service Fee, the Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the provisions of Article 9. If Delek Marketing reasonably believes in good faith that a SUMF Item provided is not of the quality or quantity necessary to prevent imminent damage to person or property, or that such deficiency will cause Delek Marketing to cease operating any tanks on the Premises (a “SUMF Failure”), then (i) Delek Marketing may obtain such SUMF Items as it reasonably deems necessary to remedy such deficiency, and may offset the cost of the same against subsequent Annual Service Fees or (ii) if Delek Marketing reasonably believes in good faith that such SUMF Item cannot be obtained on commercially reasonable terms, Delek Marketing will be entitled to liquidated damages from Delek Refining in an amount equal to any reduction in the Storage Fee in the Tankage (as defined in the Tankage Agreement) pursuant to Section 8(c) of the Tankage Agreement caused by the SUMF Failure. Delek Marketing shall have the right to access the Refinery Site to put such SUMF Items in service, so long as the same does not materially interfere with Delek Refining’s operation of the Refinery Site.
(c) Delek Refining shall notify Delek Marketing as soon as practicable of any actual or anticipated changes in the character of any SUMF Item or any actual or anticipated interruptions, shut-downs, turnarounds or similar events that may adversely affect the provision of any SUMF Item.
(d) Delek Refining shall provide all SUMF Items and perform all services hereunder in accordance with Standard Operating Practice. The provision of all SUMF Items and services hereunder shall be on a non-discriminatory basis comparable to that provided or performed by Delek Refining with respect to its own business at the Refinery Site unless otherwise specified herein.
8
3.2 Increased Quantities and Additional SUMF Items.
(a) If subsequent to the date hereof increased quantities of any SUMF Item are reasonably required by Delek Marketing in connection with its ownership, operation or maintenance of the Relevant Assets or any Additional Improvements, Delek Refining shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such increased quantities of such SUMF Item on the same terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit A, so long as the provision of such increased quantities does not interfere in any material respect with Delek Refining’s operations at the Refinery Site or require Delek Refining to make a capital improvement to any SUMF Asset. If the provision by Delek Refining of increased quantities of any SUMF Item as requested by Delek Marketing would require Delek Refining to make such a capital improvement, then Delek Marketing may submit a request to Delek Refining pursuant to Section 6.1(a). The Annual Service Fee with respect to increased quantities of any SUMF Item requested by Delek Marketing may be increased in accordance with Article 4 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that (i) Delek Marketing uses the Relevant Assets to provide services to third parties, (ii) Delek Marketing’s provision of such third-party services results in a material increase of any SUMF Item required by Delek Marketing, and (iii) provision of such SUMF Items is available to Delek Marketing from third-party vendors on commercially reasonable terms, then Delek Refining may decline to provide such increased and additional SUMF Item. Further, if, in Delek Refining’s sole discretion, the provision of any SUMF Item by Delek Refining in connection with Delek Marketing’s provision of services to third parties could expose Delek Refining or Delek Refining’s assets to environmental risk or liability, then Delek Refining may refuse to provide such SUMF Item in connection with Delek Marketing’s provision of services to third parties.
(b) If subsequent to the date hereof one or more additional SUMF Items not specifically described herein, but which are being produced or utilized by Delek Refining or its Affiliates in the normal course of their operations at the Refinery Site (“Additional SUMF Items”), are or become reasonably necessary to operate or maintain the Relevant Assets and any Additional Improvements, Delek Refining shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such Additional SUMF Items on terms and conditions consistent with the provision of the existing SUMF Items by Delek Refining. The Annual Service Fee with respect to such Additional SUMF Items may be increased in accordance with Article 4 of this Agreement.
3.3 Use of SUMF Items. Delek Marketing agrees to utilize the SUMF Items solely in connection with its ownership, operation and maintenance of the Relevant Assets and any Additional Improvements so long as such use complies with the terms of the Throughput and Tankage Agreements; provided, however, that no provision of this Agreement shall obligate Delek Marketing in any way to utilize all or part of the SUMF Items.
3.4 SUMF Assets. Subject to Article 8, Delek Refining shall be responsible for operating and maintaining the SUMF Assets, at its sole cost and expense, in accordance with Standard Operating Practice. Except for any capital improvement project proposed by Delek Marketing under Article 6 or undertaken by Delek Marketing under Article 5, Delek Refining shall be responsible for all costs and expenses of any capital improvements to, or acquisitions of additional, SUMF Assets. In the event Delek Refining fails to promptly make or commence and diligently prosecute
9
any repairs or replacements or maintenance required to be made by Delek Refining to any SUMF Assets under this Agreement, Delek Marketing at its option, after Delek Refining’s failure to cure such default on or before 10 days after notice to Delek Refining, may make the repairs or replacements and perform the maintenance for and on behalf of Delek Refining, and may offset the cost thereof against the Annual Service Fee coming due; provided, however, that if Delek Marketing reasonably believes in good faith that such SUMF Asset cannot be repaired or replaced on commercially reasonable terms, Delek Marketing will be entitled to liquidated damages from Delek Refining in an amount equal to any reduction in the Storage Fee in the Tankage (as defined in the Tankage Agreement) pursuant to Section 8(c) of the Tankage Agreement caused by the failure to repair or replace such SUMF Asset. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an emergency exists, Delek Marketing may take reasonable steps to protect its property, and make the repairs and replacements and perform the maintenance for and on behalf of Delek Refining without notice to Delek Refining.
3.5 Access. The Lease and Access Agreements set forth the relative rights of Delek Marketing and Delek Refining with respect to (a) access by Delek Marketing to the buildings and other assets owned or leased by Delek Refining located at the Refinery Site that are reasonably necessary for the operation of the Relevant Assets and any Additional Improvements and (b) access by Delek Refining to the Premises in order to inspect, repair or maintain any SUMF Assets, and such section is incorporated herein by reference.
ARTICLE 4
ANNUAL SERVICE FEE
4.1 Annual Service Fee; Monthly Payment. Within 30 days following the end of each calendar month, Delek Marketing will pay Delek Refining an amount (the “Monthly Payment”) equal to the sum of (a) the product of (x) one-twelfth (1/12) and (y) the aggregate of all fees set forth on Exhibit A (the “Annual Service Fee”) and (b) the direct costs or good faith estimates thereof, without markup, of electricity, gas, water and steam allocated to the Relevant Assets for the provision by Delek Refining and its Affiliates to Delek Marketing during such calendar month of all the SUMF Items described in Exhibit A. The Monthly Payment for the first month under the Term of this Agreement will be prorated based on the number of days elapsed from the date of this Agreement through the last day of the first calendar month and the number of days in such calendar month.
4.2 Increases in Annual Service Fee.
(a) The Annual Service Fee shall be adjusted on July 1 of each calendar year commencing on July 1, 2015, by an amount equal to the change rounded to four decimal places of the Producers Price Index-Commodities-Finished Goods, (PPI), et al. (“PPI”), produced by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureaus of Labor Statistics; provided that the Annual Service Fee shall never be increased by more than 3% for any such calendar year. If the PPI index change is negative in a given year then there will be no change in the Annual Service Fee. If the above index is no longer published, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a new index that gives comparable protection against inflation and the same method of adjustment for increases or decreases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases or decreases in the Annual Service Fee. If Delek
10
Marketing and Delek Refining are unable to agree, a new index will be determined by arbitration in accordance with Section 9.1.
(b) Delek Refining may also increase the Annual Service Fee for any calendar year by an amount equal to the actual cost to Delek Refining of providing increased quantities of any SUMF Item or of providing any Additional SUMF Items pursuant to Section 3.2(a) and Section 3.2(b) of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 5

The design of any necessary Connection Facilities shall be submitted by Delek Marketing for review by Delek Refining. Delek Refining shall have 30 days in which to notify Delek Marketing of any modifications that are necessary to conform the design to Standard Operating Practices and to comply with requirements of Governmental Authorities, otherwise Delek Refining shall be deemed to have approved such design.

and (iii) any increased costs of operation incurred or to be incurred by Delek Refining as a result of such project; provided, however, that if other Persons receive any of the benefits of such capital improvement project, such other Persons shall bear their respective pro rata shares of all costs associated with such project (based upon and only to the extent of the relative benefits received by them), and Delek Marketing’s costs with respect thereto shall be reimbursed promptly by Delek Refining as, when, if and to the extent savings are received or as, when, if and to the extent the other Person utilizes such benefits.
(b) If for any reason a capital improvement project relating to the provision by Delek Refining of SUMF Items is not completed pursuant to Section 6.1(a), and such capital improvement project is in accordance with applicable required engineering and regulatory standards, and the Parties agree that the capital improvement project would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on the operations or efficiency of the SUMF Assets or the provision of the SUMF Items by Delek Refining or result in any material additional unreimbursed costs to Delek Refining, then Delek Marketing may proceed with the construction of the capital improvement project.

14
circumstance giving rise to the indemnification obligation of Delek Refining or Delek Marketing, respectively, hereunder.
ARTICLE 9
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
9.1 Dispute Resolution.
(a) Any and all Disputes shall be resolved through the use of binding arbitration using three arbitrators, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as supplemented to the extent necessary to determine any procedural appeal questions by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code). If there is any inconsistency between this Section 9.1 and the Commercial Arbitration Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of this Section 9.1 will control the rights and obligations of the Parties. Arbitration must be initiated within the time limits set forth in this Agreement, or if no such limits apply, then within a reasonable time or the time period allowed by the applicable statute of limitations. Arbitration may be initiated by а Party (“Claimant”) serving written notice on the other Party (“Respondent”) that the Claimant elects to refer the Dispute to binding arbitration. Claimant’s notice initiating binding arbitration must identify the arbitrator Claimant has appointed. The Respondent shall respond to Claimant within 30 days after receipt of Claimant’s notice, identifying the arbitrator Respondent has appointed. If the Respondent fails for any reason to name an arbitrator within the 30-day period, Claimant shall petition the American Arbitration Association for appointment of an arbitrator for Respondent’s account. The two arbitrators so chosen shall select а third arbitrator within 30 days after the second arbitrator has been appointed. The Claimant will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it, and the Respondent will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it. The costs of petitioning for the appointment of an arbitrator, if any, shall be paid by Respondent. The Claimant and Respondent will each pay one-half of the compensation and expenses of the third arbitrator. All arbitrators must (i) be neutral parties who have never been officers, directors or employees of Delek Refining, Delek Marketing or any of their Affiliates and (ii) have not less than seven years experience in the energy industry. The hearing will be conducted in Houston, Texas and commence within 30 days after the selection of the third arbitrator. Delek Refining, Delek Marketing and the arbitrators shall proceed diligently and in good faith in order that the award may be made as promptly as possible. Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the decision of the arbitrators will be binding on and non-appealable by the Parties hereto. The arbitrators shall have no right to grant or award Special Damages.
(b) Pending resolution of any Dispute between the Parties, the Parties shall continue to perform in good faith their respective obligations under this Agreement based upon the last agreed performance demonstrated prior to the Dispute.
(c) Each Party shall, in addition to all rights provided herein or provided by Law, be entitled to the remedies of specific performance and injunction to enforce its rights hereunder.

(d) Receiving Party Personnel. The receiving Party will limit access to the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party to those of its employees, attorneys and contractors that have a need to know such information in order for the receiving Party to exercise or perform its rights and obligations under this Agreement (the “Receiving Party Personnel”). The Receiving Party Personnel who have access to any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party will be made aware of the confidentiality provision of this Agreement, and will be required to abide by the terms thereof. Any third party contractors that are given access to Confidential Information of a disclosing Party pursuant to the terms hereof shall be required to sign a written agreement pursuant to which such Receiving Party Personnel agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, which written agreement will expressly state that it is enforceable against such Receiving Party Personnel by the disclosing Party.
(e) Survival. The obligation of confidentiality under this Section 11.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of two years.
11.10 Audit and Inspection. During the Term, Delek Refining and its duly authorized agents and/or representatives, upon five Business Days’ prior written notice and during normal working hours, shall have access to the accounting records and other documents maintained by Delek Marketing, or any of Delek Marketing’s contractors and agents, which relate to this Agreement, and shall have the right to audit such records at any reasonable time or times during the Term of this Agreement and for a period of up to two years after termination of this Agreement.

11.12 No Third Party Beneficiaries. It is expressly understood that the provisions of this Agreement do not impart enforceable rights in anyone who is not a Party or successor or permitted assignee of a Party.
11.13 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of Texas, excluding any conflicts-of-law rule or principle that might refer the construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the laws of another state.
20

If, during the Term of this Agreement, changes in the operations, facilities or methods of either Party will materially benefit a Party without detriment to the other Party, the Parties commit to each other to make reasonable efforts to cooperate and assist each other.
11.15 Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each signatory Party hereto agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments and to perform such additional acts as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, carry out and perform all of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and all such transactions.
