2. | EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM |
2.1 | Initial Term. This Agreement shall be in effect on the Effective Date and shall continue in effect through the earlier of (i) second anniversary of the “Commercial Operations Date” under the DCRC Offtake Agreement and (ii) June 30, 2013 (in either case, the “Initial Term”). |
12
2.2 | Renewal Term. From and after expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one-year terms (each such renewal period, a “Renewal Term”). Absent an Event of Default or Additional Termination Event that results in an Early Termination Date, this Agreement shall terminate one year following written notice delivered no sooner than one year prior to expiration of the Initial Term or at any time thereafter by one Party to the other Party; provided, however, that the Parties shall perform their obligations relating to termination pursuant to Section 11. |
3. | CONDITIONS PRECEDENT |
3.1 | The obligations of the Parties under this amended and restated Agreement shall commence at the Assumption Time under the Assignment and shall be conditional upon the satisfaction or waiver of the Conditions Precedent (as defined in the Assignment) in accordance with the terms of the Assignment. |
4. | DAILY SALES OF CRUDE OIL |
4.1 | MSCG Crude Oil Sales. From and after the Assumption Time on the Assignment Date, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, MSCG agrees to sell and deliver to PBF, and PBF agrees to purchase and take delivery of, the Crude Oil requirements of PBF. MSCG shall sell the Crude Oil to PBF at the Delivery Locations in ratable deemed volumes as PBF may request pursuant to the nomination procedures set forth in Section 5, subject to the provisions of Section 4.1.1. |
4.1.1 | Conditions to Sale Obligations. MSCG’s Crude Oil sale obligations are subject to: (i) the volume of Crude Oil requirements estimated by PBF, as set forth in the relevant NFR, as may be modified by any subsequent NFR or Weekly Nomination from time to time and with allowance for variation as described in Section 5.5; (ii) available pipeline capacity on the relevant Pipelines used to transport the Crude Oil to the Delivery Locations, provided that MSCG shall make commercially reasonable efforts to secure capacity as necessary to meet its delivery obligations hereunder; (iii) a Force Majeure Event (including delivery of the Crude Oil by a Counterparty); (iv) PBF providing MSCG with any Security required hereunder; (v) the absence of a default under one or more Supply Contracts that collectively have a material adverse effect on MSCG’s ability to procure Crude Oil for delivery and sale to PBF; and (vi) PBF’s performance of its obligations hereunder and under each of the other Transaction Documents. |
4.2 | Pipeline Buy/Sell Transactions. If any of the Pipelines on which MSCG ships Crude Oil to the Delivery Locations refuses to recognize MSCG’s title to the Crude Oil, the Parties shall enter into a buy/sell agreement under which MSCG will sell all volumes of Crude Oil that it desires to ship on such Pipeline to PBF as they pass the inlet flange of the Pipeline or its gathering system and MSCG will purchase from PBF such volumes of Crude Oil as they pass the exit flange of such Pipeline or its gathering system. The Parties will mutually agree upon the price for such sales, provided that the price for each sale from MSCG to PBF will equal the price for the corresponding sale from PBF to MSCG. If MSCG pays the transportation costs to the relevant Pipeline, the costs of shipping the relevant volumes on the Pipeline will be deducted from the price paid by MSCG for MSCG’s purchase from PBF. Any amounts payable in connection with a Pipeline buy/sell agreement will be included on the next Payment Amount Invoice delivered after MSCG’s determination of such amount. TRC and MSCG previously |
13
entered into a Pipeline buy/sell agreement on the Enbridge North Dakota Line at the prices and terms set forth in Schedule 9 hereto, and TRC has assigned this agreement to PBF under the terms of the Assignment.
4.3 | Exclusive Seller. PBF agrees that it shall procure all of the Refinery’s Crude Oil requirements, as well as any other Crude Oil Requirements of PBF, by purchasing Crude Oil from MSCG and MSCG shall be its exclusive seller of Crude Oil to be processed in the Refinery or delivered to third parties during the Term of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that TRC is solely a processor and shall not purchase Crude Oil for processing in the Refinery. PBF agrees not to purchase Crude Oil from any person other than MSCG unless otherwise agreed in writing by MSCG or unless an Event of Default as described in Section 18.2.5 has occurred with respect to MSCG, and in any case, non-exclusivity shall only apply to affected Crude Oil volumes. |
4.4 | MSCG Hedging Obligations. MSCG shall enter into hedge transactions to hedge the price risk incurred by PBF related to the mismatch between each Delivered Volume priced on its respective Pricing Date and the actual volume consumed at the Refinery or sold to a third party as of such Pricing Date as set forth in the Daily Report of Refinery Volumes. The profits and losses on such hedging activities shall be determined in accordance with Schedule 10 and shall be payable by one Party to the other Party pursuant to Section 8.3. |
4.5 | Title and Custody. |
4.5.1 | Transfer of Title. Title to Crude Oil purchased by PBF pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall pass from MSCG to PBF as the Crude Oil passes the relevant Transfer Point. |
4.5.2 | Ownership. MSCG shall own and have title to all of the Crude Oil in transit to the Transfer Locations until title to such Crude Oil passes from MSCG to PBF as described in Section 4.5.1, or until MSCG otherwise disposes of such Crude Oil. PBF shall own and have title to all of the Crude Oil purchased from MSCG and in transit from the Transfer Locations and all Crude Oil at the Refinery, unless and until PBF sells such Crude Oil to a third party. |
4.6 | Importation into the United States and Foreign Trade Zone. |
4.6.1 | PBF intends to cause TRC to continue to operate the Refinery as a subzone, FTZ Subzone 8H (the “Subzone”), under a valid grant of authority from the Foreign Trade Zones Board, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Service (“Customs”) and the Xxxxxx-Xxxxx County Port Authority. |
4.6.2 | For purposes of being able to sell jet fuel in privileged and non-privileged foreign status to Refinery customers, TRC is required to and from time to time will admit foreign-origin Crude Oil into the Subzone. Accordingly, PBF may request that MSCG transport the Crude Oil in bond pursuant to Customs’ procedures from the point of importation at the U.S. port of entry into the United States to the Delivery Location so as to preserve the foreign status of the Crude Oil. |
4.6.2.1 | In such event, and provided that PBF or its designed representative provides MSCG with sufficient notice in writing, prior to the time of |
14
importation, that foreign status is to be maintained as to a particular batch or shipment of Crude Oil, MSCG agrees to be responsible for and file all necessary Customs in-bond documentation (CBP Form 7512) and secure in-bond movement under MSCG’s carrier bond. MSCG agrees to provide PBF with copies of the Forms 7512 filed with Customs promptly after the date of importation, which PBF will provide to TRC so that TRC is able to prepare all necessary Customs documentation (including CBP Form 214) to admit the Crude Oil into the Subzone. |
4.6.2.2 | PBF shall cause TRC to prepare, maintain and file all necessary documentation in connection with operation of the Subzone and admission of foreign-status Crude Oil. PBF shall cause TRC to maintain all records, inventories and accounts of operations within the Subzone in accordance with Applicable Law and the requirements of Customs and any other Governmental Authority. PBF agrees to provide MSCG with copies of the Forms 214 filed with Customs promptly after the date of admission into the Subzone. |
4.6.2.3 | PBF shall indemnify and hold MSCG harmless from and against all Customs duties, penalties, fines and other expenses or damages that MSCG may incur resulting from TRC’s failure to comply with Applicable Laws regarding entry of Crude Oil into the Subzone, including the failure to file accurate and timely Forms 214 that will extinguish MSCG’s liability for Customs duties under its in-bond shipments. |
5. | DELIVERY NOMINATIONS AND REPORTING |
5.1 | Coordination, Planning and Information Flow Procedures. The Parties intend that MSCG shall utilize its global crude oil and feedstock trading and marketing capabilities to identify and present to PBF opportunities for the purchase from MSCG of U.S. domestic, Canadian and foreign Crude Oil. The Parties shall develop procedures for the exchange of information between PBF and MSCG throughout the Term to facilitate sales to PBF and optimization of the Refinery operations. Such procedures will include meetings (whether in person or by telephone or video conference) on an as required basis and a monthly meeting in person between PBF personnel and MSCG to, amongst other things, review the then current TRC maintenance activities, present information relating to Crude Oil slates available for delivery to the Delivery Locations, refinery run plans and related commercial matters including hedging, sale and resale opportunities. Based on the planning and coordination activities described in this Section 5.1 and PBF’s nominations delivered in accordance with this Section 5, MSCG will use commercially reasonable efforts to locate and select Crude Oil meeting PBF’s requirements, determine price estimates for such Crude Oil and negotiate, purchase and transport such Crude Oil to the Delivery Locations for sale to PBF. PBF will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with MSCG in the foregoing activities and to take delivery of the Crude Oil’s selected in accordance with the schedules agreed upon by the Parties. |
5.2 | Quarterly Forward Price Report. On or prior to the last Business Day of each week, MSCG shall provide PBF with a report of MSCG’s estimated forward prices for each relevant grade of Crude Oil for the following five calendar months and any other period requested (the “Quarterly Forward Price Report”). The information in the Quarterly |
15
Forward Price Report is being provided for the Parties’ informational and planning purposes only; MSCG is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary or in any similar capacity and MSCG is not giving PBF any assurance or guarantee as to the forward prices contained in the Quarterly Forward Price Report. |
5.3 | Nomination and Forecast Report. Prior to the 20th of every month, the Parties shall consult regarding the Crude Oil available to MSCG for delivery to the Delivery Locations and the amount of Crude Oil sales at the Delivery Locations required to meet the Refinery’s Crude Oil processing requirements and PBF’s sales to third parties for the following five calendar months, and PBF shall provide MSCG with a report (the “Nomination and Forecast Report” or “NFR”), substantially in the form attached hereto in Schedule 3, that indicates PBF’s entire Crude Oil requirements for sale by MSCG and purchase by PBF for the following five months (each such month, a “Delivery Month”). The NFR shall include any periods of TRC-scheduled Refinery maintenance and turnaround. |
With respect to the fourth and fifth month following the month in which each NFR is delivered, the NFR shall be non-binding and indicative in nature and prepared solely for the Parties’ planning purposes. |
With respect to the third month following the month in which each NFR is delivered, the NFR shall specify the volumes of each grade of Crude Oil for delivery and purchase by PBF on each day (for each day in such month, the “Nominated Volume”) at each Delivery Location during such third following month and shall constitute the initial formal nomination (the “Initial Nomination”) for volumes to be delivered in such third following month. The Initial Nomination shall be binding, but shall be subject to amendment or adjustment as described in Section 5.5. |
With respect to the first and second month following the month in which each NFR is delivered, the NFR shall update the previously delivered NFR containing the Initial Nomination for the first following month and shall update the previously delivered NFR containing the Initial Nomination for the second following month, and in each case shall constitute an amendment (a “Monthly Amendment”) to the respective Initial Nomination as further described in Section 5.5. |
By way of example, the NFR delivery prior to the 20th of February would (i) indicate estimated volumes of each grade of Crude Oil for delivery in June and July, (ii) specify Nominated Volumes (by grade) for delivery each day in May (and shall constitute the Initial Nomination for May) and (iii) request adjustments to the Initial Nomination (which was delivered in January for April and in December for March) for March and April. |
PBF shall notify MSCG promptly upon becoming aware of any new circumstances that could require material changes to Nominated Volumes and MSCG shall notify PBF promptly upon becoming aware of circumstances that could materially impact its ability to deliver Crude Oil during the period covered by the NFR. The Parties agree that the NFR shall be prepared in coordination between the Parties. |
5.4 | Weekly Nomination. No later than 10:00 a.m. EPT on each Business Day, PBF shall provide to MSCG a report (the “Weekly Nomination”), substantially in the form attached hereto in Schedule 4, specifying the best estimate of PBF’s Crude Oil |
16
requirements and specifying the Nominated Volumes of Crude Oil for delivery at each Delivery Location on each of the following seven calendar days. The Parties agree that the Weekly Nomination shall be prepared in coordination between the Parties. The Parties acknowledge that PBF bears sole responsibility for the preparation, accuracy and correctness of the Weekly Nomination and notification of any changes to any Weekly Nomination that it would like to request. |
5.5 | Agreement to Purchase Nominated Volumes. In the absence of notification from MSCG to PBF within one Business Day of MSCG’s receipt of any Initial Nomination, and subject to the Parties mutual agreement to certain FOB Grade Differentials as described in Section 8.2.2, the Parties shall be deemed to have agreed to the sale by MSCG to PBF of the Nominated Volumes specified in such Initial Nomination. |
Each Monthly Amendment and each Weekly Nomination shall constitute an amendment to the Initial Nominations covering the same Delivery Dates. Unless MSCG notifies PBF within one Business Day of its objection to any new information contained in any Monthly Amendment or Weekly Nomination, the Parties shall be deemed to have agreed to the sale by MSCG to PBF of the Nominated Volumes specified therein, subject to pricing adjustments as set forth in Section 8.2.5.1. MSCG agrees to cooperate in the adjustment of previously agreed upon Nominated Volumes at the request of PBF to the extent the flexibility for a corresponding adjustment is allowed under the terms of any relevant Supply Contracts or may be maintained in inventory or another commercially reasonable disposition or acquisition can be agreed upon. |
Notwithstanding the above, the Parties acknowledge operational variability and agree that reasonable variations from the specified Nominated Volumes resulting from ordinary course operational factors shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement; provided that PBF agrees to make a good faith effort to take delivery of Crude Oil in the volumes set forth in each NFR and Weekly Nomination in accordance with the schedules set forth therein and MSCG agrees to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate such variations. |
PBF agrees that MSCG shall have the right to substitute alternative grades of Crude Oil as long as such substitution would not have a negative economic impact on PBF, provided that MSCG shall notify PBF in advance of any such contemplated substitution and subject to PBF’s reasonable consent to such substitutions. |
PBF shall indemnify MSCG for any costs, expenses or other losses that MSCG incurs as a result of any amendment to an Initial Nomination requested by PBF or any other adjustment to the Nominated Volumes (other than a substitution or other change to the Nominated Volumes requested by MSCG); provided that MSCG shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate such costs, expenses or losses. |
If, due to no fault of MSCG, MSCG is unable to, or it becomes impractical to, ship Crude Oil through a Pipeline or is unable to, or it becomes impractical to, deliver Crude Oil to any Delivery Location because of a breakdown in or significant impairment of any logistical asset utilized in the storage and transportation of Crude Oil to such Delivery Location (each, a “Logistics Impairment”), MSCG’s delivery obligations shall be excused to the extent affected by such Logistics Impairment and PBF shall indemnify MSCG for any losses, costs or expenses incurred as a result of such Logistics Impairment, including for any market losses (e.g. the difference between the price at |
17
which MSCG sells any Crude Oil that it is impractical to deliver to a Delivery Location as a result of the Logistics Impairment and the Price of such Crude Oil hereunder). MSCG shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate costs, losses and expenses resulting from a Logistics Impairment. |
5.6 | MSCG Acquisition Report. On each Business Day, MSCG shall provide PBF with a report specifying the volumes, grades, Delivery Month and pricing information for all Nominated Volumes for which the Parties have confirmed sales by mutually agreeing upon the price or the pricing formula, as applicable (the “MSCG Acquisition Report”). |
5.7 | Other Reports. Each Party shall provide the other Party with all daily tank gauging reports covering the Refinery tanks, any reports it receives from Pipelines or any of the pipelines that PBF utilizes to ship Crude Oil from the Delivery Locations to the Refinery or other locations, and, if reasonably requested by the other Party, any other information related to the transactions covered by this Agreement. |
5.8 | Daily Report of Refinery Volumes. On or prior to 11:00 a.m. EPT on each Business Day, PBF shall deliver to MSCG (for receipt on or prior to 11:00 a.m. EPT) a report setting forth (i) the actual volumes of Crude Oil (the “Refinery Volumes”) delivered into and withdrawn out of each Refinery tank on the immediately prior days and total inventory levels in each Refinery tank, in each case based on the best available information, including daily tank gauging reports and other relevant Refinery measurements, and (ii) all sales of Crude Oil to third parties (such report, the “Daily Report of Refinery Volumes”). The Refinery Volumes shall be subject to subsequent adjustment as may be necessary to reflect any additional or more accurate measurement information. |
6. | CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS |
6.1 | The Parties intend that: |
6.1.1 | each purchase and sale of Crude Oil between them, whether or not further documented, shall constitute a “forward contract” under section 101(25) and a “swap agreement” under section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code, protected by, inter alia, section 556 and section 560 of the Bankruptcy Code, and that it will be treated as such under and in all proceedings related to any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (regardless of the jurisdiction of application or competence of such law) or any regulation, ruling, order, directive or pronouncement made pursuant thereto; and |
6.1.2 | this Agreement and each transaction between the Parties hereunder constitutes a “master netting agreement” under section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code; and that the rights in Section 18 hereto include the rights referred to in section 561(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. |
6.2 | For purposes of Section 6.1, the Parties intend and agree that, in respect of a particular week during the Term, they shall be deemed to have entered into a forward contract, swap agreement and eligible financial contract for the sale of Crude Oil by MSCG to PBF upon MSCG’s receipt of the Weekly Nomination for such calendar week. |
6.3 | Single Agreement. This Agreement and all transactions hereunder form a single integrated agreement between the Parties. During the Term of this Agreement, all |
18
transactions between MSCG and PBF as reflected in each NFR and Weekly Nomination are entered into in reliance on the fact that all such transactions and reports, together with this Agreement, form a single agreement. |
7. | WARRANTIES |
7.1 | Warranties of Title. |
MSCG represents and warrants to PBF, that, as of the date of delivery of Crude Oil sold hereunder, it has good and marketable title to the Crude Oil sold and delivered pursuant to this Agreement, free and clear of any Liens, and that it has full right and authority to transfer such title and effect delivery of such Crude Oil.
7.2 | Disclaimer of Warranties. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTY OF TITLE, THE PARTY SELLING CRUDE OIL HEREUNDER MAKES NO WARRANTY, CONDITION OR OTHER REPRESENTATION, WRITTEN OR ORAL, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS OR SUITABILITY OF THE CRUDE OIL FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE. |
8. | PRICING OF DELIVERED VOLUMES |
8.1 | Pricing for Delivered Volumes. With respect to the volume of each grade of Crude Oil delivered by MSCG to PBF at the Delivery Locations and purchased by PBF on each Delivery Date hereunder (for each such day, the “Delivered Volume”), PBF shall, on the relevant Payment Date, pay to MSCG the product of (i) the Delivered Volume and (ii) the Price for such grade determined in accordance with Schedule 5 (the sum of such amount over all grades purchased on such Delivery Date, the “Daily Purchase Payment Amount”). The Daily Purchase Payment Amount shall be included on the Payment Amount Invoice delivered by MSCG on the relevant Payment Date for such Delivery Date. |
8.2 | Pricing Differentials. |
8.2.1 | WTI Differential Report. On the [REDACTED] day of the month two months prior to each month in which PBF intends to have TRC process Crude Oil that it previously purchased from MSCG hereunder or sell such Crude Oil to third parties (each such month, a “Consumption Month”) (or the next Business Day if such [REDACTED] day is not a Business Day), MSCG shall prepare and deliver to PBF a report substantially in the form of Schedule 6 (the “WTI Differential Report”). The WTI Differential Report will list the pro forma volume of [REDACTED] by contract month (the “WTI Hedge Volume”) that would need to be purchased and sold to [REDACTED] (as described in Schedule 5 under component D of the Price formula) of [REDACTED] pricing from the [REDACTED] to the [REDACTED] for the Nominated Volumes that PBF will purchase in a Delivery Month and later process or sell in such Consumption Month. MSCG shall prepare and deliver to PBF an updated WTI Differential Report following any agreed upon adjustment to a Nominated Volume. |
8.2.2 | Setting WTI Differentials. The WTI Differential component of the Price (component D of the Price formula in Schedule 5) applicable to the Nominated Volumes related to a particular Consumption Month will be established ratably |
19
(by WTI Hedge Volume), based on the applicable [REDACTED] effective on each [REDACTED] from (and including) the [REDACTED] of the second month preceding the Consumption Month (or the next Business Day if applicable) to the [REDACTED] prior to the day on which the [REDACTED] expires during the month preceding the Consumption Month (the “Pricing Period”), [REDACTED] (applied only to the prices for [REDACTED] purchases) (such pricing mechanism, the “Ratable Method”).
8.2.3 | In lieu of the foregoing method for the determination of the WTI Differential, PBF may notify MSCG on or prior to the date of MSCG’s delivery of the WTI Differential Report that it would like MSCG to establish fixed values for the WTI Differentials by mutual agreement. In such case, PBF shall notify MSCG on each [REDACTED] during the Pricing Period of the volume for which it wishes to establish WTI Differential values on such day (such notification a “Fixed Value Request”), provided that if MSCG does not receive a Fixed Value Request on any [REDACTED], MSCG will not seek to establish WTI Differential values on such day. MSCG shall make commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill each Fixed Value Request based on the then-current forward [REDACTED] for the applicable WTI Hedge Volume. The WTI Differential may be established in volumes of 100,000 Barrels up to the full volumes listed in the Initial Nomination (as amended from time to time) relating to the Nominated Volumes that would be processed or sold during the Consumption Month. Upon establishing a WTI Differential for a particular volume to be processed or sold in a Consumption Month pursuant to a Fixed Value Request, MSCG shall send a confirmation to PBF confirming the value of such WTI Differential, and PBF shall execute such confirmation and deliver a copy of the executed confirmation back to MSCG. If, using commercially reasonable efforts, MSCG is unable to fulfill any Fixed Value Request with respect to a volume as of any [REDACTED] during the Pricing Period, then no WTI Differential will be set as to such volume on such day. |
MSCG shall price any portion of the [REDACTED] and otherwise in accordance with the Ratable Method; provided that if greater than [REDACTED]% of the total WTI Hedge Volume remains unpriced as of the [REDACTED] prior to the [REDACTED] contract expiration, then MSCG will establish a WTI Differential as of the sixth [REDACTED] prior to the [REDACTED] contract expiration with respect to any excess over [REDACTED]% of the total WTI Hedge Volume that remains unpriced.
8.2.4 | Setting FOB Grade Differentials. The FOB Grade Differentials shall be determined using the methodology set forth in Schedule 5 (as component B of the Price formula in Schedule 5). As described in Schedule 5, the FOB Grade Differential will be established either by a formula utilizing published prices or by mutual agreement based on then-current spot market conditions. If the Parties are unable to agree upon an FOB Grade Differential for any volumes, then MSCG shall be deemed not to have entered into a commitment to sell, and PBF shall be deemed not to have entered into a commitment to purchase, such volumes. In this event, the Parties shall cooperate in identifying alternative grades and volumes for sale, as outlined in Section 5.1. |
20
8.2.5 | Differential Adjustments. |
8.2.5.1 | Adjustments of Nominated Volumes. Following any adjustment to a Nominated Volume, MSCG shall determine, in consultation with PBF and in a commercially reasonable manner, the difference between the WTI Differentials, FOB Grade Differentials and the Delivery Costs (components B, C and D of the Price formula in Schedule 5) that would have applied to the previously Nominated Volumes and the WTI Differentials, FOB Grade Differentials and Delivery Costs that apply to the Nominated Volumes after any adjustments (including differences applicable to canceled or “unwound” Nominated Volumes) (the “Adjustment Amount”). MSCG shall make a payment to PBF of any positive Adjustment Amount and PBF shall make a payment to MSCG of any negative Adjustment Amount. The Adjustment Amount shall be included on the next following Payment Amount Invoice. |
8.2.5.2 | Delivery Costs. The capital costs included in the calculation of Delivery Costs (component C of the Price formula in Schedule 5) will be calculated based on a working capital rate (the “Working Capital Rate”) of [REDACTED]), which, as of each day, would be applied to the current market value of the MSCG In-Transit Volumes on such day and the total amount of MSCG accounts receivable owing from PBF and associated with MSCG sales under this Agreement as of such day. Upon the occurrence of an MS CDS Event (as defined below), either Party may request on a reasonable basis an adjustment to the Working Capital Rate and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine the adjustment to the Working Capital Rate that shall apply; provided, that any request by MSCG for an increase in the Working Capital Rate after an MS CDS Event shall be effective, subject only to PBF’s right of termination pursuant to Section 18.1.3. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, a “MS CDS Event” shall be deemed to have occurred following any calendar quarter in which the average of the daily settlement prices (spreads) for Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx’x five-year credit default swap on the trading platform operated by Markit Group Limited changes by more than [REDACTED] % from the previous calendar quarterly average. The price (spread) for such credit default swap as of the Commencement Date was [REDACTED]. |
8.3 | Hedge Adjustment Amount. After the expiry of each front month NYMEX crude oil contract, MSCG shall determine the Hedge Adjustment Amount for such calendar month in accordance with Schedule 10 in order to account for hedging losses and gains resulting from any mismatch between the day on which Delivered Volumes are priced hereunder and the day on which Delivered Volumes enter the Refinery processing units or PBF delivers Delivered Volumes to third parties in a third party transaction. The Hedge Adjustment Amount shall be included in the next following Payment Amount Invoice after determination. From time to time the Parties may agree to adjust the hedge to account for volumetric losses. |
9. | PAYMENT AND NETTING |
9.1 | On each Payment Date, MSCG shall net the following amounts: |
21
(i) | the Daily Purchase Payment Amount payable by PBF to MSCG on such day; |
(ii) | the Hedge Adjustment Amount, if applicable; |
(iii) | any adjustments to amounts paid by one Party to the other Party hereunder based upon additional information obtained after invoicing, including adjustments to the prices or volumes used to determine any previously invoiced Daily Purchase Payment Amount, and including any Adjustment Amount as described in Section 8.2.5; |
(iv) | any Ancillary Costs incurred prior to such day and not previously paid to MSCG or any adjustment to Ancillary Costs previously determined and invoiced; |
(v) | any outstanding interest that accrues pursuant to Section 9.4; and |
(vi) | any other amounts due and payable as of such day under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. |
(the aggregate net amount payable, the “Net Daily Payment Amount”).
MSCG shall notify PBF of the Net Daily Payment Amount and the Party to whom such Net Daily Payment Amount is owed shall prepare and deliver to the other Party an invoice in respect such amount by 11:00 a.m. EPT on such Payment Date (the “Payment Amount Invoice” for such day). The Party owing the Net Payment Amount shall pay such amount to the other Party on or prior to 3:00 p.m. EPT on such day, subject to Section 9.3.
9.2 | Payments. All payments to be made under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer of same day funds in U.S. Dollars to such bank account at such bank as the payee shall designate in writing to the payor from time to time. All payments shall be deemed received on the Business Day on which same day funds therefor are received by the payee. Payments received after any applicable time set forth in this Agreement on any Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all payments by PBF or MSCG shall be made in full without discount, offset, withholding, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever for any claims which one Party may now have or hereafter acquire against the other Party, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise except as expressly provided herein. The Parties recognize and acknowledge that the exchange of certain information in a timely manner and subsequent payments based on the information are interrelated, and a reasonable delay in one aspect of the process will not relieve the obligation of a Party to reasonably comply with any response to the information or payment. If payment would be due hereunder on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be deemed instead to be due on the next Business Day after such day. |
9.3 | Disputed Invoices. If an invoiced Party, in good faith, disputes the accuracy of the amount invoiced, the invoiced Party shall pay such amount as it in good faith believes to be correct and provide written notice stating the reasons why the remaining disputed amount is incorrect, along with supporting documentation. In the event the Parties are |
22
unable to resolve such dispute, either Party may pursue any remedy available at law or in equity to enforce its rights hereunder. In the event that it is determined or agreed that the Party that is disputing an invoice must or will pay the disputed amount, then such Party shall pay interest from and including the original payment due date until, but excluding, the date the disputed amount is received by the owed Party, at the Base Interest Rate.
9.4 | Interest on Late Payments. Interest shall accrue on late payments under this Agreement at the Default Interest Rate from and including the date that payment is due until but excluding the date that payment is actually received by the Party to whom it is payable. |
10. | ADDITIONAL MSCG SERVICES |
10.1 | Additional MSCG Risk Management Services. Throughout the Term, MSCG shall provide risk management services to PBF as requested by PBF, including (i) updates on relevant commodities markets and price quotes for swaps and options, and (ii) providing swap or option products on the terms agreed upon between the Parties, such terms to include volumes, prices, tenors and settlement dates. |
11. | DISPOSITION OF CRUDE OIL UPON TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION |
11.1 | Final Disposition. On the date of expiration or termination of this Agreement (the “Termination Date”), whether this Agreement terminates at the end of its Term or on an Early Termination Date, subject to MSCG’s rights under Section 18.6, MSCG shall not enter any more Supply Contracts, but may, in its sole discretion, continue to sell to PBF the MSCG In-Transit Volumes as of the Termination Date and any other volumes of Crude Oil that MSCG is obligated to purchase pursuant to the terms of any Supply Contracts outstanding as of the Termination Date, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof, such sales to occur over the period of time necessary for MSCG to sell all such Crude Oil to PBF (the “Run-off Period”), and PBF’s obligation to purchase such Crude Oil under the terms of this Agreement shall survive termination. |
11.2 | Termination Payment Amount. On or prior to the later of (i) 30th day following the Termination Date and (ii) the tenth Business Day following the end of the Run-off Period, if applicable (in either case, the “Final Settlement Date”), MSCG shall calculate a final accounting and true up of all amounts owed by PBF to MSCG or by MSCG to PBF under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents (such amount, the “Termination Payment Amount”). The Termination Payment Amount shall include payment of the price in respect of all Delivered Volumes that have not yet been paid. |
11.3 | For purposes of such calculation, the Payment Date for any such Delivered Volumes that would occur after the Final Settlement Date shall be accelerated and deemed to occur on the Final Settlement Date. MSCG shall notify PBF of the Termination Payment Amount and the Party to whom such amount is payable shall prepare an invoice (the “Final Invoice”) and deliver it to the other Party by the fifth Business Day following MSCG’s calculation and notification of such amount. The Party owing the Termination Payment Amount shall pay to the other Party the Termination Payment Amount on or prior to the fifth Business Day following receipt of the Final Invoice. |
11.4 | Pipeline Shipping History.

In all cases the financial statements delivered pursuant to this Section 12.1.1 shall be for the most recent accounting period and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, consistently applied, or, at the election of PBF, in accordance with the accounting principles provided by the International Financial Reporting Standards enacted by the International Accounting Standards Board. In the case of PBF, upon delivery to MSCG, the applicable report delivered by PBF to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement shall satisfy its related requirement under this Section 12.1.1. |
12.1.2 | Within 90 days after the beginning of each fiscal year, PBF shall provide to MSCG a budget for PBF in form reasonably satisfactory to MSCG, but to include balance sheets, statements of income and sources and uses of cash, for (i) each month of such fiscal year prepared in detail and (ii) each fiscal year thereafter, through and including the fiscal year in which the Termination Date is scheduled to occur at such time pursuant to the terms of Section 2, prepared in summary form, in each case, with appropriate presentation and discussion of the principal assumptions upon which such budgets are based, accompanied by the statement of a Financial Officer of PBF to the effect that the budget of PBF is a reasonable estimate for the periods covered thereby and, promptly when available, any significant revisions of such budget. In the case of PBF, upon delivery to MSCG, the applicable budget delivered by PBF to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement shall satisfy its related requirement under this Section 12.1.2. |
24
12.1.3 | Upon reasonable notice, a Party also shall provide to the other Party any other information sufficient to enable it to ascertain such other Party’s or a Guarantor’s current financial condition and for such Party to assure itself of the other Party’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or a Guarantor’s ability to perform its obligations under its Guaranty. |
12.2 | Guaranty. As security for the prompt payment and performance in full when due of MSCG’s obligations under this Agreement, MSCG shall cause its Guarantor to deliver to PBF prior to the Assignment Date a Guaranty substantially in the form of the guaranty provided to TRC under the Original Agreement. As security for the prompt payment and performance in full when due of PBF’s obligations under this Agreement, (i) PBF shall cause TRC to deliver to MSCG prior to the Assignment Date a Guaranty in form and substance similar to the prior PBF guaranty to MSCG and (ii) within five Business Days of a written request by MSCG, but not sooner than the tenth Business Day following the listing of PBF Energy public stock on an exchange (i.e., NYSE), PBF shall cause PBF Energy to deliver to MSCG a Guaranty substantially in the same form as the guaranty provided by PBF under the Original Agreement. |
12.3 | Security Interest in Crude Oil. |
12.3.1 | As security for all obligations of PBF to MSCG under the Transaction Documents, PBF hereby pledges to MSCG, as a secured party, and grants to MSCG a first priority continuing security interest in, Lien on and right of set-off against all of PBF’s right, title and interest in the Crude Oil, wheresoever located and all proceeds thereof (except as set forth in the last sentence below, the “Collateral”). PBF shall take such actions, at PBF’s expense, as MSCG may from time to time reasonably request to further evidence or perfect such security interest, Lien and right of set-off. Notwithstanding the above, MSCG’s rights in the Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement so long as such Intercreditor Agreement remains effective, and so long as such Intercreditor Agreement remains effective, “Collateral” shall not include any assets that are not included in the definition of “MSCG Assets and Collateral” as defined in such Intercreditor Agreement. |
12.3.2 | PBF represents and warrants to MSCG that it has good title to the Collateral, free and clear of all Liens other than the security interest and Lien granted to MSCG hereunder and that the Collateral shall at all times remain free and clear of all Liens other than the security interest and Lien granted to MSCG hereunder. This representation and warranty shall be a continuing representation and warranty for so long as MSCG’s security interest in and Lien on the Collateral remain in effect. In connection with any sale by PBF of Collateral to a third party, the Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all payments in respect of the purchase of the Collateral by a third party are paid directly to MSCG in an amount up to the amount owed to MSCG for the Collateral, consistent with the then applicable terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. If any such sale by PBF of Collateral is in connection with the movement of Collateral to a refinery owned by PBF or a PBF Affiliate, or if the purchaser in any sale of Collateral is a PBF Affiliate, PBF shall pay to MSCG the purchase price in respect of the sale of such Collateral from MSCG to PBF prior to PBF’s transfer of title to the third party or Affiliate purchaser, notwithstanding the Payment Date that would otherwise be applicable to PBF’s purchase from MSCG pursuant to the terms of Section 8 and Schedule 2. |
25
12.3.3 | PBF hereby irrevocably authorizes MSCG at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any financing statements and amendments thereto that contain the information required by Article 9 of the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment relating to the Collateral. |
12.3.4 | PBF shall keep and maintain, and shall cause TRC to keep and maintain, to the extent applicable, at its own cost and expense complete records of the movements of the Collateral from the Delivery Locations to the Refinery and from the Refinery tanks to the processing units or from the Delivery Locations to the point of sale to a third party, in a manner consistent with prudent business practice, including all pipeline reports and notifications (including pipeline nominations and revisions to nominations, daily pipeline schedule of oil flow, apportionment notices and disruption notices, notices and reports for physical batch swaps) and Refinery and terminal reports, and all other documentation relating thereto. PBF shall, at PBF’s sole cost and expense, upon MSCG’s demand made at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default by PBF or an Additional Termination Event, deliver all tangible evidence of the location, volume and quality of the Collateral (by Tank or other location), including all reports from the Refinery, terminals or pipelines and books and records relating thereto to MSCG or to its representatives (copies of which evidence and books and records may be retained by PBF) to the extent not already provided to MSCG pursuant to PBF’s reporting obligations under Section 5. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default by PBF or an Additional Termination Event, MSCG may transfer a full and complete copy of PBF’s books, records, reports, memoranda and all other writings relating to the Collateral to and for the use by any person that has acquired or is contemplating acquisition of an interest in the Collateral or MSCG’s security interest therein, without the consent of PBF. |
12.3.5 | Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default by PBF or an Additional Termination Event, MSCG shall have all of the default rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. PBF acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or other disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof shall be required by law, ten days’ prior notice to PBF of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to take place shall be commercially reasonable notification of such matters. |
12.3.6 | Catastrophic Loss of Collateral. In connection with any catastrophic loss of Collateral (any loss other than a normal handling loss), at the election of MSCG in its sole discretion, either (i) the Payment Date in respect of the purchase by PBF from MSCG of the volume of Crude Oil that constituted such Collateral shall be accelerated to the date of such loss or (ii) PBF shall immediately replace the Collateral subject to the loss with additional Collateral or other Security having an equal or greater value. In the case of subclause (i), the pricing of the Crude Oil shall be based on the then current price for such volume determined in accordance with Schedule 5. |
26
12.4 | Notification of Certain Events. Each Party shall notify the other Party in writing within two Business Days of learning of any of the following events: |
12.4.1 | any Event of Default or Additional Termination Event, specifying the nature and extent thereof and the corrective action (if any) taken or proposed to be taken with respect thereto; |

12.4.6 | a final judicial or administrative judgment against it or any of its Guarantors that individually or in the aggregate is in excess of $10,000,000; |

12.4.8 | In the case of PBF, PBF’s entrance into a binding agreement that would result in a Change of Control with respect to PBF or the entry by any of PBF’s Guarantors into a binding agreement that would result in a Change of Control with respect to such Guarantor, such notice to be provided no later than five Business Days following execution of such agreement.

27
12.5.2 | Variation Margin. MSCG may, in its reasonable discretion and upon notice to PBF, require that PBF provide it with satisfactory security (“Variation Margin”) in an amount equal to MSCG’s estimate of its Exposure (as defined below) on any day on or prior to the third Business Day following such date of determination, subject to a minimum exposure to be mutually agreed between the Parties from time to time. |
12.5.2.1 | MSCG shall calculate its “Exposure” by netting the following amounts: |
(i) the aggregate [REDACTED];
(ii) the [REDACTED] on any relevant day;
(iii) the difference between [REDACTED]; and

12.5.4 | Form and Delivery of Security. A Party shall provide Security to the other Party on or prior to the second Business Day following demand therefor in the form of Collateral, cash or a letter of credit, or in any other document or mechanism acceptable to the demanding Party. The Security provided by a Party shall be for a duration and in an amount sufficient to cover a value up to the other Party’s estimated financial exposure under this Agreement, including reasonable contingencies for the designated time period, which may be calculated in accordance with Sections 12.5.2 and 12.5.3. If Security is provided in the form of a letter of credit, such letter of credit shall be issued by an Acceptable Letter of Credit Issuer and shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the demanding Party in its sole discretion.

To the extent not included in the purchase price, MSCG shall itemize separately any Taxes on the daily invoice. PBF hereby agrees to reimburse MSCG for any such Tax which MSCG may incur with respect to such Crude Oil, whether determined during the duration of this Agreement or on audit after termination; provided, however, that PBF’s obligation to reimburse MSCG for Taxes shall survive termination of this Agreement for a period which equals the statute of limitations applicable to the specific Tax in question. PBF shall pay MSCG for any Taxes arising from audit within two Business Days of receipt of MSCG’s invoice. MSCG shall notify PBF promptly upon being notified of the commencement of any audit that may result in payments by PBF under this Section 14.1. |

14.3 | Upon the reasonable request of PBF, PBF shall, at its sole expense, have the right to cause MSCG to contest the validity, applicability or amount of any Tax for which MSCG is liable; provided, however, that MSCG shall not be required to take or consent to PBF taking any such action if, in MSCG’s sole discretion, such action could have a material adverse affect on MSCG. MSCG shall be entitled to select counsel of its choice. MSCG |
29
shall not settle or compromise any claim or contest without PBF’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that MSCG shall be entitled in its sole discretion to settle or compromise any claims or contest of Tax liability if such settlement or compromise is made in connection with a closing agreement governing tax periods that cover both Tax liability hereunder and tax liabilities of MSCG that are not related to this Agreement.

Further, each Party shall name the other Party as an additional insured under the foregoing policies to the extent of the indemnities required under this Agreement. |
15.3.3 | The mere purchase and existence of insurance coverage shall not reduce or release either Party from any Liabilities incurred or assumed under this Agreement. |

During the period that performance by the affected Party of a part or whole of its obligations has been suspended by reason of a Force Majeure Event, the other Party likewise may suspend the performance of all or a part of its obligations to the extent that such suspension is commercially reasonable, other than any payment or indemnification obligations that arose prior to the Force Majeure Event. |

For the avoidance of doubt, such losses, costs and expenses (or gains) would include MSCG’s market losses (or gains) related to the difference in the price at which MSCG is able to sell or otherwise dispose of Crude Oil and the Price that would have applied to such Crude Oil if sold to PBF under this Agreement, and would include losses (or gains) incurred in connection with any related hedge transactions. MSCG shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate costs, losses or expenses resulting from a cessation of Refinery operations. |

18. | TERMINATION EVENTS, DEFAULT AND EARLY TERMINATION |
18.1 | Non-fault Based Early Termination Events. |
18.1.1 | Change of Law. |
Each Party shall make reasonable efforts to monitor proposed Changes of Law which may reasonably be expected to have an impact on such Party’s performance of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or its ability to hedge in a commercially reasonable manner trading positions related to purchases and sales under this Agreement or in contemplation of fulfilling the objectives of this Agreement (“Hedging Activities”) and shall promptly notify the other Party upon becoming aware of any such proposed Change of Law. Such notice shall identify the proposed Change of Law and set out, in reasonable detail, the effects the notifying Party anticipates such Change of Law would have upon the Transaction Documents (or such Party’s performance thereunder) or its Hedging Activities if enacted. The Parties shall in good faith meet to discuss what, if any, measures can be taken by either Party (or both) to minimize or mitigate the effect of any such proposed Change of Law.
If a Change of Law results or would result in a Party (the “Adversely Affected Party”) incurring incremental damages, losses, costs, expenses, fees, fines, payments, Taxes, liabilities, penalties or other sanctions of a monetary nature (“Losses”) in excess of $3,000,000 per annum solely as a result of such Party’s performance of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or as a result of its Hedging Activities, the Adversely Affected Party shall be entitled to request that the Parties meet for purposes of addressing such Change of Law by providing written notice (a “Change of Law Notice”) to the other Party (the “Non-Affected Party”), provided always that the Adversely Affected Party shall use all reasonable efforts to minimize the effects of such Change of Law or to mitigate the incremental Losses incurred by such Adversely Affected Party as a result of such Change of Law.
Within seven days of receipt of a Change of Law Notice, the Parties shall meet in good faith with a view to identifying any steps (“Consequential Steps”) that would alleviate the effects of the relevant Change of Law on the Adversely Affected Party, which may constitute an agreement between the Parties to share the relevant incremental Losses incurred by the Adversely Affected Party or the amendment of any Transaction Document. In identifying the Consequential Steps, the Parties shall, as far as is reasonably practicable, do so in a manner that preserves the balance of the commercial agreement (including economic benefits, risk allocation, costs and liabilities) existing between the Parties under this Agreement as of the Effective Date.
In the event the Parties cannot reach agreement on the Consequential Steps and on the implementation of the same within 30 days of receipt by the Non-Affected Party of the Change of Law Notice, the Adversely Affected Party may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 11, effective as of the earlier of (i) the
35
effective date of the Change of Law and (ii) six months following receipt by the Non-Affected Party of the Change of Law Notice and terminate all other Transaction Documents and all other agreements that may then be outstanding between the Parties that relate specifically to this Agreement, each in accordance with its terms.
18.1.2 | Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control with respect to PBF or any of its Guarantors, MSCG may, in its sole discretion, accelerate this Agreement and designate a Termination Date, which shall be no earlier than the effective date of such Change of Control event, on which to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 11, and terminate all other Transaction Documents and all other agreements that may then be outstanding between the Parties that relate specifically to this Agreement, each in accordance with its terms. |
18.1.3 | Increase in Working Capital Rate. |
In the event the Parties cannot reach agreement on an adjustment to the Working Capital Rate upon a request by MSCG to increase the Working Capital Rate pursuant to Section 8.2.5.2 (“Increase Request”) within 10 days of such Increase Request, if such adjustment would be reasonably likely to result in PBF incurring increased costs in connection with this Agreement in excess of $[REDACTED] per annum, PBF may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to MSCG specifying a Termination Date no earlier than six months following PBF’s receipt of the Increase Request. In connection with such termination, the Parties shall terminate all other Transaction Documents and all other agreements that may then be outstanding between the Parties that relate specifically to this Agreement, each in accordance with its terms.
For the period from and excluding the date of the Increase Request through the Termination Date, the Working Capital Rate shall be increased by MSCG to a rate that would not be reasonably likely to result in PBF incurring increased costs in connection with this Agreement in excess of $[REDACTED] per annum.
18.2 | Events of Default. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the occurrence of any of the following events or circumstances shall constitute a “Default” or an “Event of Default”: |
18.2.1 | A Party or any of its Guarantors fails to make payment when due under this Agreement within two Business Days following receipt of a demand for payment by the other Party. |
18.2.2 | A Party fails to (i) provide financial information as required by Section 12.1, or (ii) provide the other Party with Security as required by Section 12.6, or such Security expires, terminates or no longer is in full force and effect, in each case within two Business Days following receipt of a demand therefor. |
18.2.3 | A Party breaches any representation, warranty made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated by the Party in any material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated under this Agreement, or any warranty or representation proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any |
36
material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated under this Agreement; provided, however, that if such breach is curable, such breach is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the other Party (in its sole discretion) within ten Business Days from the date that such Party receives notice that corrective action is needed. |
18.2.4 | Other than a default more specifically described in this Section 18.2, a Party fails to perform any obligation or breaches a covenant required under this Agreement, which, if capable of cure, is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the other Party (in its sole discretion) within five Business Days from the date that such Party receives written notice that corrective action is needed, provided that no grace period will apply to any failure by PBF to notify MSCG of a Change of Control in accordance with Section 12.5.8. |
18.2.5 | There shall have occurred a default, event of default or other similar condition or event (however described) in respect of a Party or any of its Guarantors under any Specified Agreement, which is not cured within the applicable time period, if any.

18.2.8 | Receipt of notice by the other Party of a consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer that would constitute a Credit Event Upon Merger or the occurrence of a Credit Event Upon Merger with respect to a Party or any of its Guarantors. |
18.2.9 | There shall have occurred either (i) a default, event of default or other similar condition or event (however described) in respect of PBF or any of its Affiliates under one or more agreements or instruments relating to Specified Indebtedness in an aggregate amount of not less than $10,000,000 that has resulted in such Specified Indebtedness becoming immediately due and payable under such agreements and instruments before it would have otherwise been due and payable, including any notice of acceleration, demand, termination, suspension or foreclosure issued by any secured party or person acting in a similar capacity; or (ii) a default by PBF or any of its Affiliates (individually or collectively) in making one or more payments on the due date thereof in an aggregate amount of not less than $10,000,000 under such agreements or instruments (after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period). |
37
18.2.10 | Any claim is asserted or Lien (other than a Lien granted by MSCG) is placed on any portion of the Crude Oil owned by PBF or any portion of the MSCG In-Transit Volumes due to an act or omission of PBF, TRC or any of PBF’s or TRC’s creditors or such Lien or claim is imminent. Upon the occurrence of such event, PBF shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Party hereunder and MSCG shall be deemed to be the Performing Party. |
18.2.11 | Due to an act or omission of PBF, TRC or any of PBF’s or TRC’s creditors, MSCG’s first priority Lien in any portion of the Crude Oil owned by PBF or any portion of the MSCG In-Transit Volumes shall cease to exist or shall lose its priority, or any action is taken to impair or negatively impact MSCG’s first priority Lien in any portion of the Crude Oil owned by PBF or any portion of the MSCG In-Transit Volumes, including the assertion by any creditor that MSCG would not be entitled to an exclusive, first priority Lien in any of such Crude Oil, and, if it is reasonably likely to MSCG that such event is capable of cure within three Business Days, such event shall not have been cured by the third Business Day following PBF’s receipt of notice that corrective action is needed. Upon the occurrence of such event, PBF shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Party hereunder and MSCG shall be deemed to be the Performing Party. |
18.2.12 | There shall have occurred a default, event of default or other similar condition or event (however described) in respect of a Party under any Transaction Document. |
18.2.13 | There shall have occurred a default under the Intercreditor Agreement in respect of any party thereto that is prejudicial to a Party’s rights hereunder, provided that where such default under the Intercreditor Agreement occurs with respect to a party other than the Parties hereto, PBF shall be deemed to be the Defaulting Party hereunder and MSCG shall be deemed to be the Performing Party. |
18.2.14 | The occurrence of a Letter of Credit Default in relation to any letter of credit provided by a Party hereunder. |
18.2.15 | There shall have occurred a default, event of default or other similar condition or event (howsoever described) in respect of a Party or a Party’s Affiliate under the Products Offtake Agreement between PRC and MSCG dated as of December 14, 2010, the DCRC Offtake Agreement or any future refinery supply or offtake agreement between a PBF Affiliate and MSCG and such agreement is accelerated or there occurs a default (howsoever described) with respect to a Party or a Party’s Affiliate thereunder substantially similar to one of the defaults described in Sections 18.2.1 (if such default is in an amount in excess of $1,000,000), 18.2.2 (sub-clause (ii) only), 18.2.6, 18.2.7, 18.2.8 or 18.2.9. |
18.3 | Additional Termination Events. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the occurrence of any of the events or circumstances specified in Sections 18.3.1 through and including 18.3.4 shall constitute an “Additional Termination Event” and, in each instance, PBF shall be deemed to be the “Affected Party” and MSCG shall be deemed to be the Performing Party (as defined in Section 18.4) for purposes of determining the rights and remedies available to the Performing Party under Sections 18.4 and 18.6. |
38
18.3.1 | The sale, lease, sublease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition by TRC, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of all or a material portion of the Refinery assets other than to an Affiliate. |

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Guaranty or any Specified Agreement, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default with respect to a Party or any of such Party’s Guarantors (such Party referred to as the “Defaulting Party”), or upon the occurrence and continuance of an Additional Termination Event with respect to the Affected Party, the other Party (in each case, the “Performing Party”) may in its sole discretion, in addition to all other remedies available to it and without incurring any Liabilities (for any costs arising from delay or otherwise) to the Affected Party or the Defaulting Party, as the case may be, do any or all of the following: |
18.4.1 | suspend its performance under this Agreement, including any Crude Oil sale, purchase, receipt, delivery or payment obligations, upon written notice to the Defaulting Party or Affected Party; |
18.4.2 | accelerate the Payment Date with respect to all Delivered Volumes that have not yet been paid for; |
18.4.3 | declare all or any portion of the Defaulting Party’s or Affected 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 or Affected Party; |
18.4.4 | upon written notice to the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party, specify a date (the “Early Termination Date”) on which to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 11, subject to MSCG’s rights under Section 18.6 if MSCG is the Performing Party; |

39
18.4.8 | exercise any rights and remedies provided or available to the Performing Party under this Agreement or at law or equity. |

18.5.1 | In the event that this Agreement is terminated by MSCG pursuant to its rights under Section 18.1.2, PBF shall pay to MSCG an Early Termination Fee in an amount equal to (i) if such termination occurs before the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, $[REDACTED], or (ii) if such termination occurs after the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, $[REDACTED]. |
18.5.2 | In the event that this Agreement is terminated by a Performing Party pursuant to its rights under Section 18.4.4 as a result of an Event of Default, the Defaulting Party shall pay to the Performing Party an Early Termination Fee in an amount equal to (i) if the Event of Default occurs before the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, $[REDACTED] or (ii) if the Event of Default occurs after the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, $[REDACTED]. |
18.5.3 | In the event that this Agreement is terminated by a Performing Party pursuant to its rights under Section 18.4.4 as a result of an Additional Termination Event, the Affected Party shall pay to the Performing Party an Early Termination Fee in an amount equal to $[REDACTED]. |
18.5.4 | The Parties agree that the Early Termination Fee payable from one Party to the other Party pursuant to Section 18.5.1 represents a genuine pre-estimate of the loss that MSCG will suffer as a result of the termination of this Agreement in the circumstances described in Section 18.5.1 and is payable in lieu of MSCG’s rights to claim damages resulting from such termination. |
18.5.5 | The Parties agree that the Early Termination Fee payable from the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party, as applicable, to the Performing Party pursuant to Section 18.5.2 or 18.5.3 represents a genuine pre-estimate of the minimum loss that the Performing Party will suffer as a result of the termination of this Agreement in the circumstances described in Section 18.5.2 or 18.5.3, and that the payment of the Early Termination Fee shall be in addition to the payment of any other amounts the Performing Party shall be entitled to in connection with termination pursuant to this Section 18. |
18.6 | Additional Remedies Available to MSCG if PBF Is the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party. If a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and PBF is the Non-Performing Party, MSCG may, in its sole discretion: (i) demand that PBFC purchase from MSCG all of the MSCG In-Transit Volumes, (ii) arrange for the alternate disposition of any of the MSCG In-Transit Volumes; and (iii) terminate the assignment of any Supply Contracts or Pipeline agreements from TRC to MSCG resulting in their reversion to TRC where applicable. |
18.7 | Export of Defaults to and Liquidation of Specified Agreements. The occurrence of an Early Termination Date shall constitute a material breach and an event of default, howsoever described, under all Specified Agreements, and the Performing Party may, by giving a notice to the Non-Performing Party, designate an early termination date (which shall be no earlier than the Early Termination Date) for all Specified Agreements and, |
40
upon such designation, terminate, liquidate, accelerate and otherwise close out all Specified Agreements that lawfully may be closed out and terminated or, to the extent that in the reasonable opinion of the Performing Party certain of such Specified Agreements may not be liquidated and terminated under Applicable Law on such date, as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable. In such event, the Performing Party shall calculate the payments due upon early termination of such Specified Agreements in accordance with the terms set forth in such Specified Agreements, which shall be aggregated or netted to a single liquidated amount (the “Specified Agreement Close-Out Amount”) and paid pursuant to the terms of such agreements, or if no payment date is specified, on the payment date specified in Section 18.9. In determining the Specified Agreement Close-Out Amount, the Performing Party may foreclose upon and apply any collateral provided by or on behalf of the Non-Performing Party under this Agreement or any Specified Agreement.
18.8 | Determination of the Termination Amount in the Event of Early Termination. The amount payable in respect of early termination shall comprise (without duplication) all of the following amounts, which shall be aggregated or netted to a single liquidated amount (the “Termination Amount”) owing from one Party to the other Party: |
18.8.1 | if MSCG requires PBF to purchase the MSCG In-Transit Volumes pursuant to Section 18.6, the applicable Price of the MSCG In-Transit Volumes determined in accordance with Schedule 5 as of the Early Termination Date; |
18.8.2 | the Specified Agreement Close-Out Amount as determined pursuant to Section 18.7; |
18.8.3 | the amount of any performance assurance, credit support or collateral provided by or on behalf of PBF under this Agreement or any Specified Agreement held by MSCG at the Early Termination Date, which shall be applied as a credit to PBF; |
18.8.4 | Breakage Costs, including, for avoidance of doubt, the losses and costs (or gains) incurred (or realized) by the Performing Party, if MSCG is the Performing Party, in terminating, transferring, or otherwise modifying any outstanding contracts with Customers (except supply contracts assigned by TRC to MSCG in February 2011); |
18.8.5 | all Unpaid Amounts, including any purchase price for Crude Oil that has not yet been paid as described in Section 18.4.2; |
18.8.6 | any other amounts or adjustments that are owed one Party by the other Party under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; and |
18.8.7 | the applicable Early Termination Fee, if any, as provided in Section 18.5. |
18.9 | Payment of Termination Amount. The Performing Party shall notify the Non-Performing Party of the Termination Amount due from or due such Party. If the Non-Performing Party owes the Termination Amount to the Performing Party, the Non-Performing Party shall pay the Termination Amount on the second Business Day after it receives the statement. If the Performing Party owes the Termination Amount to the Non-Performing Party, the Performing Party shall pay the Termination Amount once it has reasonably determined all amounts owed by the Non-Performing Party to it under all Specified Agreements and pursuant to its rights of close-out and setoff under Section 18.10. |
41
18.10 | Setoff Rights of Performing Party. If the Performing Party elects to designate an Early Termination Date under Section 18.4.4, the Performing Party shall be entitled, at its option and in its discretion (and without prior notice to the Non-Performing Party), to setoff against the Termination Amount (whether such Termination Amount is payable to the Performing Party or to the Non-Performing Party) any other amounts payable under any agreements between the Non-Performing Party and the Performing Party (whether or not matured or contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or place of booking of the obligation, including amounts payable under any guaranty provided by the Non-Performing Party). To the extent that the Termination Amount is so set off, the Termination Amount and other amounts will be discharged promptly and in all respects. The Performing Party will give notice to the other Party of any set-off effected under this Section 18.10. |
18.11 | Non-Exclusive Remedies. The Performing Party’s rights under this Section 18 are 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. 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 a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing. |
18.12 | Indemnification. The Non-Performing Party shall reimburse the Performing Party for its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the enforcement of, suing for or collecting any amounts payable by the Non-Performing Party. The Non-Performing Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Performing Party for any damages, losses and expenses incurred by the Performing Party as a result of any Termination Event. |
19. | INDEMNIFICATION AND CLAIMS |
19.1 | To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law and except as specified otherwise elsewhere in this Agreement, PBF shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless MSCG, its Affiliates, and their Representatives, agents and contractors for and against any Liabilities which is caused by PBF or its Representatives, agents or contractors in performing its obligations under this Agreement, or which is caused by acts or omissions of TRC that are related to PBF’s performing its obligations under this Agreement, except in each case to the extent that such injury, disease, death, or damage to or loss of property was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct on the part of MSCG, its Representatives, agents or contractors. |
19.2 | PBF agrees to indemnify MSCG for [REDACTED] except to the extent that such liability could have been mitigated by MSCG’s use of commercially reasonable efforts. |
42
19.3 | To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law and except as specified otherwise elsewhere in this Agreement, MSCG shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless PBF, its Affiliates, and their Representatives, agents and contractors for and against any Liabilities caused by MSCG or its Representatives, agents or contractors in performing its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that such injury, disease, death, or damage to or loss of property was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct on the part of PBF, its Representatives, agents or contractors. |
19.4 | In addition to the indemnification obligations set forth in Sections 19.1 though 19.3 and elsewhere in this Agreement, each Party (referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify and hold the other Party (the “Indemnified Party”), its Affiliates, and their Representatives, agents and contractors, harmless from and against any and all Liabilities directly or indirectly arising from (i) the Indemnifying Party’s breach of any of its obligations under or covenants made in this Agreement; (ii) the Indemnifying Party’s negligence or willful misconduct, and in the case of PBF, TRC’s negligence or willful misconduct; (iii) the Indemnifying Party’s, or in the case of PBF, TRC’s, failure to comply with Applicable Law with respect to the sale, transportation, storage, handling or disposal of Crude Oil or violation of any Environmental Law caused by the Indemnifying Party or its Representatives, agents or contractors, or in the case of PBF, caused by TRC, unless such violation liability results from the Indemnified Party’s negligence or willful misconduct; or (iv) if any of the Indemnifying Party’s representations, covenants or warranties made herein proves to be materially incorrect or misleading when made. |
19.5 | 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. |
19.6 | Each Party agrees to notify the other Party as soon as practicable after receiving notice of any suit brought against it within the indemnities of this Agreement, shall furnish to the other the complete details within its knowledge and shall render all reasonable assistance requested by the other in the defense. Each Party shall have the right but not the duty to participate, at its own expense, with counsel of its own selection, in the defense and settlement thereof without relieving the other of any obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume responsibility for and control of any judicial or administrative proceeding if such proceeding involves a Termination Event by the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement which shall have occurred and be continuing. |
20. | LIMITATION ON DAMAGES |
20.1 | Except for the Parties’ indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement, or unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Parties’ liability for damages is limited to direct, actual damages only and neither Party shall be liable for specific performance, lost profits or other business interruption damages, or special, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or indirect damages, in tort, contract or otherwise, of any kind, arising out of or in any way connected with the performance, the suspension of performance, the failure to perform, or the termination of this Agreement. Each Party acknowledges the duty to mitigate damages hereunder. |
43
21. | INFORMATION AND INSPECTION RIGHTS |
21.1 | Audit Rights. Upon request by either Party, the other Party shall provide the requesting Party with copies of all relevant documents and records in its possession that reasonably relate to the calculation of any formula, invoice, statement or the amount of any payment under this Agreement, except for any documents or pricing information concerning any of MSCG’s proprietary activities that are in the custody or control of MSCG or any other person (whether or not related to this Agreement) or MSCG’s hedging activity or trading positions with any person that may have been utilized in connection with any Supply Contracts. Upon request by MSCG, PBF shall provide MSCG with copies of all relevant documents and records in TRC’s possession that reasonably relate to the calculation of any formula, invoice, statement or the amount of any payment under this Agreement. |
21.2 | Right to Physical Inspection. From time to time during the Term, MSCG shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to have an Independent Inspector conduct surveys and inspections of any of the Tanks or facilities at the Refinery that are used to handle, store or transfer the Crude Oil from the Tanks to the Refinery process units, and to observe any Crude Oil transfer, handling, metering or related activities; provided however that such surveys and inspections shall be made during normal working hours and upon reasonable notice and shall not disrupt the Refinery’s normal operations, and PBF shall cause TRC to provide MSCG with the facility access necessary for MSCG to exercise such rights. Such surveys and inspections shall be in compliance with the Refinery’s prevailing rules and procedures, and the Party undertaking such survey or inspection shall be responsible for its own personnel and representatives. If any dispute between the Parties has not been resolved as of the Early Termination Date or Termination Date, as applicable, MSCG’s inspection rights under this Section 21.2 shall continue for a period that is the later of (i) the date on which all amounts due by one Party to the other Party as a result of termination or expiration of this Agreement are paid as provided in Section 18 and (ii) removal of or transfer of title to the Crude Oil owned by MSCG or its consignees or assignees from the Refinery. |
22. | GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE |
22.1 | Approved Representatives. The Parties shall each appoint by written notice to the other Party two senior individuals representing them (the “Approved Representatives”) to be members of a governance committee (the “Governance Committee”) to administer, resolve and determine matters relating to the operation and administration of the Transaction Documents and to keep the Parties apprised of all material aspects of and developments relating to the Transaction Documents. Each Approved Representative must be currently employed by the appointing Party at all times. Either Party may replace one or both of the individuals serving as its Approved Representatives in its discretion from time to time upon written notice to the other Party. |
22.2 | Meetings of the Governance Committee. The quorum for decision making at a meeting of the Governance Committee shall be not less than one Approved Representative appointed by each Party. Meetings of the Governance Committee shall be held quarterly or as required to resolve any matter or dispute or if so requested by either of the Parties. |
22.3 | Decisions of the Governance Committee. If agreement is reached in writing, the Governance Committee shall have such written agreement reflected in a mutually acceptable amendment to this Agreement; provided that revisions to the schedules to this |
44
Agreement may be made upon the mutual agreement of the Authorized Representatives in writing (including by an exchange of e-mails or electronic messages) without a formal amendment. The Parties agree that the Governance Committee shall have due regard to the Parties’ goals and objectives that were the basis of entering into this Agreement when making any relevant decisions or making any agreement in respect of any matter referred to it under the Transaction Documents.
22.4 | Third Party Referee. Without prejudice to any provision of this Agreement that sets out a specific time frame for consideration of a matter by the Governance Committee or for the Parties to have specific rights following the Governance Committee failing to agree on matters referred to it, in the event the Governance Committee cannot reach agreement within 30 Business Days on any matter before it, after consulting in good faith and using all reasonable efforts to reach agreement, such matter or dispute shall be referred to an independent third party for resolution. The independent third party shall have an expertise in the subject matter and shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties. The third party’s determination shall be in the form of a written opinion, as is appropriate under the circumstances, to be delivered within 30 days of submission of the dispute to the firm or as soon thereafter as the firm can reasonably render its decision, and shall confirm that it was rendered in accordance with this Section 22, including that it was arrived at with due regard to the contract objectives. The fees and expenses of such third party for its services in resolving such dispute shall be borne equally by the Parties. With respect to any matters before the Governance Committee, the Parties agree that a Party shall not take action under Section 23 until the procedures of this Section 22 have been completed; provided, however, that any applicable statute of limitations shall be tolled during such period and either Party may seek immediate injunctive relief if so required. |
23. | GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTES |
23.1 | Governing Law. This Agreement and all matters arising in connection therewith, including validity and enforcement, shall be governed by, interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles that would result in the application of a different law. Each Party hereby submits itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal court of competent jurisdiction situated in the Borough of Manhattan, State of New York or, if any federal court declines to exercise or does not have jurisdiction, in any New York state court in the Borough of Manhattan, State of New York and to service of process by certified mail, delivered to the Party at its last designated address. |

26. | NATURE OF THE TRANSACTION AND RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES |
26.1 | Neither this Agreement nor any other Transaction Document or transaction under any of them, nor the performance by the Parties of their respective obligations under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any transaction, shall constitute or create a joint venture, partnership or legal entity of any kind between the Parties. It is understood that each Party has complete charge of its employees and agents in the performance of its duties hereunder, and nothing herein shall be construed to make a Party, or any employee or agent of such Party, an agent or employee of another Party. A Party shall not have any authority (unless expressly conferred in writing under this Agreement or otherwise and not revoked) to bind another Party as its agent or otherwise. |
27. | CONFIDENTIALITY |
27.1 | This Agreement and all documents related to the foregoing and any information pertaining thereto made available by a Party or its Representatives to the other Party or its Representatives, are confidential (collectively, “Confidential Information”). Each Party shall at a minimum use the same efforts and standard of care with respect to Confidential Information provided by the other Party that it uses to preserve its own confidential |
47
information, and in no event less than reasonable efforts. Confidential Information shall not be discussed with or disclosed to any third party by any Party except for such information (i) as may become generally available to the public through no breach of this Section 27.1 or any other agreement between the Parties, (ii) as may be required or appropriate in response to any summons, subpoena or otherwise in connection with any litigation or to comply with any Applicable Law or accounting disclosure rule or standard or request by any supervisory or regulatory authority, (iii) as may be obtained from a non-confidential source that disclosed such information in a manner that did not violate its obligations to the other Party or its credit support provider in making such disclosure, or (iv) as may be furnished to the disclosing Party’s Affiliates or to its Representatives, all of whom are required to keep the information that is disclosed in confidence. This provision shall remain in effect for two years following the termination of this Agreement.
27.2 | In the case of disclosure covered by clause (ii) of Section 27.1, and if the disclosing Party’s counsel advises that it is permissible to do so, the disclosing Party shall notify the other Party in writing of any proceeding of which it is aware which may result in disclosure, and use reasonable efforts to prevent or limit such disclosure. The Parties may exercise all remedies available at law or in equity to enforce or seek relief in connection with the confidentiality obligations contained in this Agreement. |
28. | MISCELLANEOUS |
28.1 | Survival. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect any rights or obligations that may have accrued prior to termination, including any in respect of antecedent breaches and, for the avoidance of doubt but subject to the terms of this Agreement, any rights or obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents in respect of transactions entered into up to and including the date of termination or expiration of this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein. The obligations of each Party that expressly survive termination, are required to take effect on or give effect to termination or the consequences of termination or which by their very nature must survive termination, shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding termination of this Agreement. |
28.2 | Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties regarding the matters contemplated herein or related thereto, and no representations or warranties shall be implied or provisions added hereto in the absence of a written agreement to such effect between the Parties after the Effective Date; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall limit, impair or contravene the Parties’ or their Affiliates’ rights as set forth in any Specified Agreement (whether entered into prior to, on or after the Effective Date) regarding the collection and determination of margin and collateral, the exporting or importing of events of default, termination events, or the netting and setting off of amounts due. This Agreement may not be altered, amended, modified or otherwise changed in any respect except in writing duly executed by an authorized representative of each Party and no representations or warranties shall be implied or terms added in the absence of a writing signed by both Parties. No promise, representation or inducement has been made by either Party that is not embodied in this Agreement, and neither Party shall be bound by or liable for any alleged representation, promise or inducement not so set forth. |
48
28.3 | Severability. If at any time any court of competent jurisdiction declares any provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any Applicable Law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the Applicable Law of any other jurisdiction will, in any way, be affected or impaired. The Parties will negotiate in good faith with a view to reform this Agreement in order to give effect to the original intention of the Parties and produce as nearly as is practicable in all the circumstances the appropriate balance of the commercial interests of the Parties. The failure to agree upon such provisions for any reason or no reason shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement. |
28.4 | Waiver and Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy under this Agreement or provided by Applicable Law shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies (provided by Applicable Law or otherwise). Any waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach. |
28.5 | Time Is of the Essence. Time shall be of the essence for this Agreement with respect to all aspects of each Party’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement. |
28.6 | No Third-Party Beneficiaries. There are no third party beneficiaries to this Agreement and the provisions of this Agreement shall not impart any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim enforceable by any person, firm or organization other than the Parties and their successors in interest and permitted assigns. |
28.7 | Announcements. At no time during the Term of this Agreement, and for a period of two years following its expiration or termination, shall any Party issue any press announcement or public statement regarding this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, except as may be required by Applicable Law or to the extent public disclosure is required under the circumstances described in any relevant confidentiality agreement entered into between the Parties. The issuing Party will: |
28.7.1 | use all reasonable efforts to notify the other Party of the content of such announcement at least three Business Days prior to such issue (unless otherwise required by Applicable Law or to the extent public disclosure is required under the circumstances described in any relevant confidentiality agreement entered into by the Parties); and |
28.7.2 | take the other Party’s comments on the proposed announcement into account as is reasonable in the circumstances, provided such comments are received within two Business Days of the notification. |
28.8 | Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the Parties in separate counterparts and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the Party executing (or on whose behalf the signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof. |

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Party hereto has caused this Agreement to be executed by its duly authorized representative.
