Each Party shall comply with all Applicable Law relating to or regarding the quality, integrity, testing, distribution and marketing of reformulated gasoline and blendstocks, conventional gasoline, gasoline additives, diesel fuel, No. 2 heating oil and any other motor fuel or fuel product that may be subject to such regulations, including the provisions and requirements of 40 C.F.R. Parts 70 through 80, including maintaining records that are required to be maintained and that demonstrate compliance with the foregoing Applicable Laws. Each Party shall make such records available to the other Party upon its request. Each Party also shall immediately notify the other Party of any violation or alleged violation with respect to the Products sold pursuant to any Transaction and, upon request, shall provide the other Party with all evidence of environmental inspections or audits by any Governmental Authority with respect to such Products. MSCG warrants that all Products delivered by it pursuant to this Agreement shall comply with all requirements and standards as may be applicable to such Products when delivered to TPSI based upon the place of the Products’ intended use, if known to MSCG, and that it shall provide all required documentation regarding such delivery, including any required product transfer documents. MSCG shall have in effect and maintain a Quality Assurance Program under 40 C.F.R. Part 80.

If either Party incurs costs to clean up or contain a spill or discharge or to prevent or mitigate resulting pollution damage, such Party reserves any rights provided by law to recover such costs from the other Party or from any third party. If a third party is legally liable for such costs and expenses, each Party shall cooperate with the other Party for the purpose of obtaining reimbursement from such third party. Each Party also shall cooperate with the other Party for the purpose of obtaining reimbursement from any other applicable entity or source under federal or state law. Each Party acknowledges that (i) no provision under this Agreement is intended to imply that a Party assumes any pollution liability for the benefit of or on behalf of the other Party and (ii) a Party shall not be liable to indemnify the other Party for any Liabilities in connection therewith, except as may be imposed under federal or state law on an owner of oil or voyage charterer.
16.3 Applicable Law. Each Party shall comply with all Applicable Law with respect to the performance of its Obligations under this Agreement.
ARTICLE 17
FORCE MAJEURE
17.1 Event of Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party if it is rendered unable by an event of Force Majeure to perform in whole or in part any obligation or
27
condition of a Transaction or this Agreement, for so long as the event of Force Majeure exists and to the extent that performance is hindered by the event of Force Majeure; provided, however, that the Party unable to perform shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove the event of Force Majeure. During the period that a Party’s performance of its obligations has been suspended in whole or part by reason of an event of Force Majeure, the other Party likewise may suspend the performance of all or part of its obligations related to the Transactions affected by the event of Force Majeure to the extent that such suspension is commercially reasonable, except for any payment and indemnification obligations related to Products received prior to such event.
17.2 Notice of Force Majeure. The Party rendered unable to perform shall inform the other Party by oral notification as soon as practicable but no later than within one (1) Business Day after learning 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 Products affected. Promptly thereafter, the Party rendered unable to perform shall confirm such information in writing. Such Party also shall promptly notify the other Party when the Force Majeure event is terminated.
17.3 Termination of Transactions. If a Party’s performance of any specific Transaction is suspended due to an event of Force Majeure in excess of [***] from the date that notice of such event is given, and so long as such event is continuing, either Party, in its sole discretion, may terminate such Transaction by written notice to the other Party, and neither Party shall have any further liability to the other Party in respect of such Transaction except for the rights and remedies previously accrued.
17.4 Alternative Supplies in the Event of Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event MSCG should notify TPSI that as a result of an event of Force Majeure it will be unable meet its delivery obligations as described in Section 3.1(f), Section 3.1(g) or Section 3.4(a), TPSI shall have the right, in its sole discretion, but only until such time as TPSI shall have received notice that the event of Force Majeure declared by MSCG no longer is continuing, to procure from alternative sources volumes of Products to replace all or any portion of the volumes that MSCG is unable to deliver. [***].
ARTICLE 18
AUDIT RIGHTS
18.1 Books and Records. Each Party shall keep accurate books of account and to record all sales and other evidence of transactions in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. All records relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any stored electronically, shall be kept by each Party for two (2) years at such Party’s office and shall be made available to the other Party for inspection at such offices upon reasonable notice during each Party’s regular business hours.
18.2 Audit True-Up. A Party or its authorized representative (who is acceptable to the other Party) may, at the inspecting Party’s expense, conduct an independent review of the manner in which the pricing and payment for Products during each month was calculated. If, as a result of such review, it is determined that there has been an overpayment by TPSI, then MSCG shall offset against any amounts then due and owing by TPSI to MSCG under this Agreement the amount of the overpayment, together with interest on such amount at the Interest Rate from date such overcharges occurred under the date payment is made. If, as a result of such review, it is
28
determined that there has been an underpayment by TPSI, then such underpayment will become immediately due and payable to MSCG with interest at the Interest Rate from the date said payment was due until the date that payment is made.
ARTICLE 19
INDEMNIFICATION
19.1 Duty to Indemnify. Each Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify and hold the other Party, its Affiliates, and their employees, directors, officers, representatives, agents and contractors (collectively, the “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all Liabilities arising from the Indemnifying Party’s (i) breach of this Agreement, (ii) failure to comply with Applicable Law with respect to the sale, transportation, storage, handling or disposal of the Products, unless and to such extent that such liability results from the Indemnified Party’s negligence or willful misconduct or (iii) representations, covenants or warranties made under this Agreement which prove to be materially incorrect or misleading when made.
19.2 No Third Party Rights. The Parties’ obligations to defend, indemnify and hold each other harmless under the terms of this Agreement shall not vest any rights in any third party, whether a Governmental Authority or private entity, nor shall they be considered an admission of liability or responsibility for any purposes other than those enumerated in this Agreement.
19.3 Third Party Claims. The Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party as soon as practicable after receiving notice of any Claim or Proceeding brought against it that might give rise to an indemnity Claim under this Agreement (each, a “Third Party Claim”) and shall furnish to the Indemnifying Party the complete details within its knowledge. Any delay or failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice to the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations except to the extent, if any, that the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure.
19.4 Claim Procedure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense, at its own expense and by its own counsel, of any Third Party Claim; provided, however, that such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the Indemnifying Party’s appointment of counsel to represent an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party to represent the Indemnified Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such Third Party Claim. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Claim or Proceeding that the Indemnifying Party defends, including, if appropriate, making any counterclaim or cross-complaint. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Indemnified Party’s cooperation shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party.
19.5 Settlement. No Third Party Claim may be settled or compromised (i) by the Indemnified Party without the consent of the Indemnifying Party or (ii) by the Indemnifying Party without the consent of the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume responsibility for and control of any
29
Proceeding if such Proceeding involves an Event of Default by the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement which shall have occurred and be continuing.
19.6 Insurance. The mere purchase and existence of insurance does not reduce or release either Party from any liability incurred or assumed under this Agreement or any Transaction.
ARTICLE 20
DEFAULT AND TERMINATION
20.1 Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Related Agreements, any Other Commodity Agreement or any Specified Agreement, a Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to occur under this Agreement when:
(a) Either Party fails to make payment when due under this Agreement within two (2) Business Days of a written demand therefor.
(b) Any representation or warranty, contained in this Agreement, the Related Agreements, any Other Commodity Agreement or any Specified Agreement shall prove untrue in any material respect on or as of the date it was made or was deemed to have been made or repeated.
(c) Either Party fails to perform any obligation to the other Party or breaches any covenant made to the Party under this Agreement, which, if capable of being cured, is not cured to the satisfaction of the other Party (in its sole discretion) within five (5) Business Days from the date that such Party receives notice that corrective action is needed.
(d) Either Party defaults under any of the Related Agreements or any Other Commodity Agreement (howsoever such default is defined), which is not cured within the applicable time period, if any; provided, however, the Party defaulting under such Related Agreement or Other Commodity Agreement may not claim the default as an Event of Default under this Agreement.
(e) TPSI fails to amend the Letter of Credit or fails to provide satisfactory security or assurances of performance in accordance with Article 9.
(f) The Guarantor (i) fails to satisfy, perform or comply with any obligation in accordance with such Guaranty if such failure continues after any applicable grace or notice period, (ii) breaches any representation, covenant or warranty or any representation proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any material respect under the Guaranty, which is not cured to MSCG’s satisfaction, in its sole discretion, within any applicable grace or notice period or (iii) repudiates, disclaims, disaffirms or rejects, in whole or part, any obligation under the Guaranty, or challenges the validity of the Guaranty.
(g) Either Party or the Guarantor becomes Bankrupt.
(h) Any material covenant, agreement or obligation of any Party contained in or evidenced by this Agreement, any Related Agreement, any Other Commodity
30
Agreement or any Specified Agreement, shall cease to be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(i) Either Party to this Agreement, any Related Agreement, any Other Commodity Agreement or any Specified Agreement, shall repudiate, deny or disaffirm its obligations under this Agreement, any Related Agreement, any Other Commodity Agreement or any Specified Agreement.
(j) This Agreement, any Related Agreement, any Other Commodity Agreement or any Specified Agreement is canceled, terminated, revoked or rescinded without the express prior consent of the other Party, or any Proceeding shall have been commenced by any Person (other than either Party) seeking to cancel, revoke, rescind or disaffirm the obligations of any Party to this Agreement, any of the Related Agreements or any Other Commodity Agreement or any Specified Agreement (unless such Party is contesting the Proceeding in good faith and such Proceeding is withdrawn or dismissed with prejudice within fifteen (15) days).
(k) Any court or other Governmental Authority shall issue a judgment, order, decree or ruling to the effect that any of the obligations of any Party to this Agreement, any Related Agreement, any Other Commodity Agreement or any Specified Agreement is illegal, invalid or unenforceable.
(l) Either Party or the Guarantor (i) defaults under a Specified Agreement and, after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period, there occurs a liquidation of, an acceleration of obligations under, or an early termination of, that Specified Agreement or (ii) defaults, after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period, in making any payment or delivery due on the last payment, delivery or exchange date of, or any payment on early termination of, a Specified Agreement (or such default continues for at least two (2) Business Days if there is no applicable notice requirement or grace period); provided, however, the Party or Guarantor defaulting under such Specified Agreement may not claim the default as an Event of Default under this Agreement.
(m) The failure of TPSI or its Guarantor to make payment when due or other event of default under one or more agreements or instruments relating to Specified Indebtedness in an aggregate amount (individually or collectively) of not less than $25 million, which has resulted in such Specified Indebtedness becoming or capable of becoming due and payable under such agreements or instruments before it would otherwise have been due and payable, or defaults in making one or more payments on the due date thereof in an aggregate amount (individually or collectively) of not less than $25 million under such agreements or instruments (after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period).
20.2 Remedies Upon Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Guaranty, any Related Agreement, any Other Commodity Agreement or any Specified Agreement, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to either Party or its Guarantor (the “Defaulting Party”), the other Party (the “Performing Party”) may, in its sole discretion, in addition to all other remedies available to it and without incurring any Liabilities to the Defaulting Party, the Guarantor or to third parties (for demurrage or any other costs arising
31
from delay or otherwise), the Performing Party may do any one or more of the following: (i) withhold or suspend its Obligations under this Agreement and any Transaction without prior notice to the Defaulting Party, (ii) proceed against the Defaulting Party or its Guarantor or both for damages occasioned by the Defaulting Party’s or its Guarantor’s failure to perform, (iii) upon one (1) Business Day’s prior notice to the Defaulting Party, immediately terminate and liquidate all Transactions between the Parties by calculating Settlement Payments in the manner set forth in Section 20.3 and (iv) exercise its rights of liquidation and setoff with respect to all Other Commodity Agreements and Specified Agreements as set forth in Section 20.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 20.1(g), no prior notice shall be required.
20.3 Early Termination of Transactions.
(a) When an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Performing Party may, by notice given to the Defaulting Party, designate a date not earlier than the date of such notice (“Early Termination Date”) on which all Transactions shall terminate and the Performing Party shall then determine the Liquidation Amount as of the Termination Determination Date. For purposes of this Section 20.3, the phrase “all Transactions” means only those Preliminary Forecasted Pipeline Volumes or Adjusted Forecasted Pipeline Volumes and those Preliminary Forecasted Waterborne Volumes or Adjusted Forecasted Waterborne Volumes that have been nominated to MSCG under Section 3.2, Section 3.3 and Section 6.1 prior to and including the Early Termination Date. The Performing Party shall notify the Defaulting Party of the Liquidation Amount due from or due to the Defaulting Party, after taking into account any collateral or margin held by either Party (“Termination Payment”), to be paid as provided in Section 20.3(b).
(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Early Termination Date, the Performing Party shall provide the Defaulting Party with a statement showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of the Liquidation Amount and the Termination Payment. If the Defaulting Party owes the Termination Payment to the Performing Party, the Defaulting Party shall pay the Termination Payment on the first Business Day after it receives the statement. If the Performing Party owes the Termination Payment to the Defaulting Party, the Performing Party shall pay the Termination Payment once it has reasonably determined all amounts owed by the Defaulting Party to it under all Transactions and Other Commodity Agreements and its rights of setoff under Section 20.4.
20.4 Setoff.
(a) The occurrence of an Early Termination Date under this Agreement or an Event of Default as described in Sections 20.1(h), (i), (j), (k), (l) and (m) shall constitute a material breach and an event of default, howsoever described, under all Other Commodity Agreements and under all Specified Agreements. The Performing Party (or any of its Affiliates or the Guarantor in the case of a Specified Agreement) may, by giving a notice to the Defaulting Party, designate an Early Termination Date for all Other Commodity Agreements or all Specified Agreements or both and, upon such designation, terminate, liquidate and otherwise close out all Other Commodity Agreements or all Specified Agreements or both.
32
(b) If the Performing Party elects to designate an Early Termination Date under this Section 20.4, the Performing Party shall calculate, in accordance with the terms set forth in such Other Commodity Agreements and Specified Agreements, the amounts, whether positive or negative, due upon early termination under each Other Commodity Agreement and Specified Agreement and shall determine the aggregate sum of such amounts, whether positive or negative (“Other Agreement Termination Amount”). If a particular Other Commodity Agreement or Specified Agreement does not provide a method for determining what is owed upon early termination, then the amount due upon early termination shall be determined pursuant to Section 20.3 as if such Other Commodity Agreement or Specified Agreement were a Transaction.
(c) If the Other Agreement Termination Amount is a negative number, and the Performing Party owes a Termination Payment to the Defaulting Party, the Performing Party shall pay the Defaulting Party the Other Commodity Termination Amount at the time of its payment of the Termination Payment under Section 20.3(b). If the Other Agreement Termination Amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party shall pay the Performing Party such Other Agreement Termination Amount on demand, provided, however, that the Performing Party, at its election, may setoff any Termination Payment owed by the Defaulting Party to the Performing Party pursuant to Section 20.3 against any Other Agreement Termination Amount owed by the Performing Party to the Defaulting Party and may setoff any Other Agreement Termination Amount owed to the Performing Party by the Defaulting Party against any Termination Payment owed by the Performing Party to the Defaulting Party pursuant to Section 20.3. The Performing Party shall notify the Defaulting Party of any setoff effected under this Section 20.4.
20.5 Non-Exclusive Remedy. The Performing Party may enforce any of its remedies under this Agreement, any Other Commodity Agreement or any Specified Agreement. The Performing Party’s rights under this Article 20 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or exclusion of, any other rights of setoff, recoupment, combination of accounts, lien or other right which it may have, whether by agreement, operation of law or otherwise, provided, however, that (i) if the Performing Party elects to exercise its rights under Section 20.3, it shall do so with respect to all Transactions, and (ii) if the Performing Party elects to exercise its rights under Section 20.4 in respect of Other Commodity Agreements or in respect of Specified Agreements or both, it shall do so with respect to all Other Commodity Agreements or all Specified Agreements or both. No delay or failure on the part of a Performing Party to exercise any right or remedy shall constitute an abandonment of such right or remedy and the Performing Party shall be entitled to exercise such right or remedy at any time after an Event of Default has occurred.
20.6 Indemnification. The Defaulting Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Performing Party for all Liabilities incurred as a result of the Default or in the exercise of any remedies under this Article 20. A Party shall reimburse the other Party for its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the other Party’s enforcement of, suing for or collecting any amounts payable by it under this Agreement.
33
ARTICLE 21
TERMINATION PROCESS
21.1 Expiration or Termination for Other Than an Event of Default.
(a) Prior to expiration of the Term of this Agreement or upon early termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.3, the Parties shall mutually agree on a termination date (at which time MSCG shall cease supplying Products to TPSI for marketing and distribution at the Terminals), to occur on the last day of [***]. TPSI shall purchase all Products that were in transit to the Terminals on such termination date, when such Products are received at the Terminals (subject to the tolerances set forth in Section 3.2(d) and Section 3.3(e)), and such purchases shall be otherwise subject to the terms and conditions, including pricing and the Letter of Credit requirements, set forth in this Agreement.

22.2 Waivers. Each Party further hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection to personal jurisdiction, whether on grounds of venue, residence or domicile. Each Party further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any Proceeding relating to this Agreement.
22.3 Time Period for Making Claims.

Neither Party shall transfer or assign this Agreement or its rights or interests hereunder, in whole or in part, or delegate its obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without the prior consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that no consent shall be required for transfer of this Agreement to an Affiliate by assignment, merger or otherwise or an assignment solely for security. The transferor shall remain jointly and severally liable with the transferee for the full performance of the transferor’s Obligations under this Agreement unless the transferee (i) assumes in writing all of the Obligations of the transferor, (ii) provides the other Party with evidence of financial responsibility at least equal to that of the transferor, and (iii) in the case of a transfer by TPSI to an Affiliate, the Guarantor provides a Guaranty of such transferee’s Obligations under this Agreement.
23.2 Assignment Absent Consent. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Article 23 shall be null and void ab initio and the non-assigning Party shall have the right, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies it may have hereunder or otherwise, to terminate this Agreement effective immediately upon notice to the Party attempting such assignment.

(a) TPSI shall have the right not to berth such nominated Vessel at the discharge port and any demurrage resulting shall not be for the account of TPSI.
(b) MSCG shall be obliged to substitute such nominated Vessel with a Vessel complying with the requirements of the ISPS Code and the MTSA.

If at any time after the Effective Date new Applicable Laws are enacted or existing Applicable Laws are amended, which individually or collectively have a material adverse economic effect upon the assumptions of either Party underlying its initial economic analysis of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement such that such assumptions no longer are true, then the affected Party may notify the other Party that it desires in good faith to renegotiate the price or other material terms or conditions so affected, stating the new or changed Applicable Law upon which its renegotiation request is based and the terms upon which it is willing to continue to perform with respect to deliveries of Products not yet made.
