EXECUTION VERSION
(MARCUS HOOK - BUTANE)
This Terminal Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 8, 2012 (the “Effective Date”) between SUNOCO, INC. (R&M) (“R&M”) and PHILADELPHIA ENERGY SOLUTIONS REFINING AND MARKETING LLC (“Customer” or “PES”). R&M and Customer are sometimes hereinafter referred to each as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. GENERAL
a R&M shall provide the following services (collectively the “Terminal Services”) to Customer, at R&M’s terminal located in Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania more particularly described in Attachment A (the “Terminal”), in accordance with the terms of this Agreement:
(i) With respect to the Products Throughput Amount (as defined below), receipt, storage, throughput, custody and delivery of Customer’s butanes (the “Products”) originating at the Customer’s refinery located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (the “Philadelphia Refinery”) to, from and through the underground storage caverns described on Attachment A (the “Caverns”) located at the Terminal; and
(ii) Such other additional services as may be described herein and in the Attachments to this Agreement, including access to the Terminal’s truck rack and marine dock.
b R&M shall receive Products into the Terminal by marine vessel, pipeline receipts, and trucks and store such Products in the Caverns. Still further, R&M shall deliver Customer’s Products out of the Caverns to marine vessels, pipelines, or trucks. All Product movements into or out of Caverns, and into and out of the Terminal, will be in accordance with Customer’s reasonable written instructions, subject to scheduling, transfer rates, R&M’s regular procedures and any other reasonable operational details or limitations.
c R&M shall operate and maintain the Terminal in accordance with, and PES shall comply with the terms of, the port manual covering operations at the Terminal (such manual, as in effect from time to time, the “Operations Manual”). A copy of the Operations Manual in effect as of the Effective Date is attached hereto as Attachment E. R&M shall have the right to amend the Operations Manual from time to time; provided, however, that: (a) the Operations Manual shall at all times (i) pertain exclusively to
operational requirements at the Terminal, (ii) apply equally to all Persons utilizing the Terminal, and (iii) include operating requirements and conditions that are generally consistent with those governing operations at other similar facilities owned and operated by R&M and its Affiliates taking into account differences in operations at the facilities; and (b) R&M shall provide PES with reasonable advance notice of the effective date of any such amendments.
d There are multiple customers at the Terminal. R&M will endeavor to treat customers equitably and as such scheduling will be handled on a first come, first served basis for accepted nominations that arrive in the confirmed timeframe. R&M also has the right to vet any marine vessel to make sure it complies with the reasonable policies of R&M.
e The term of this Agreement shall be ten years, commencing on the Effective Date. A Contract Year shall be a twelve month period during the term hereof beginning on the Effective Date or any anniversary thereof.
f R&M shall maintain all records necessary to provide Customer with monthly reports summarizing Customer’s receipts, withdrawals and book inventory, which report shall be mailed or faxed to Customer by the 5th business day of the following month.
g The Products, Fees, Method(s) of Receipts and Deliveries, Invoicing Procedures and Payment Terms with respect to the Terminal Services are reflected in Attachment A.
h Customer understands and agrees that R&M may enter contractual arrangements with third party customers for Terminal Services at the Terminal, provided such arrangements do not prevent R&M from fulfilling its obligations to Customer hereunder. Nothing herein shall be deemed to provide Customer with exclusive rights to Terminal Services at any Terminal, exclusive rights to any storage capacity in the Caverns, or any other exclusive rights with respect to the Terminal.
i R&M shall operate and maintain the Terminal in accordance with Prudent Industry Practice and applicable law. For purposes of this Agreement, “Prudent Industry Practice” means, as of the relevant time, those lawful practices, methods and acts generally engaged in or approved by the pipeline and terminaling industries (as applicable) in the United States that, in the exercise of reasonable judgment in light of the circumstances known at the time of performance, would have been expected to accomplish the desired result at a reasonable cost consistent with functionality, reliability, safety and expedition with due regard for health, safety, security and environmental considerations. Prudent Industry Practice is not intended to be limited to the optimum practices, methods or acts to the exclusion of others, but rather is intended to include acceptable practices, methods and acts generally engaged in or approved by the pipeline and terminaling industries (as applicable) in the United States.
2. RECEIPTS AND DELIVERIES:
a Receipts and deliveries of Products at the Terminal shall be made within the normal
** Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
business hours of the Terminal (as set forth on Attachment A), unless otherwise agreed by R&M and Customer.
b Customer shall ensure that each of its marine delivery vessels: (i) discharges its cargo within the allowable discharge time, which shall be calculated for each delivery based upon the actual quantity discharged from such vessel divided by the applicable unloading rate for such vessel plus 2 hours at the dock; (ii) maintains a pressure of at least 125 PSI at the vessel’s manifold on each line used; and (iii) leaves its dock promptly upon completion of discharge, weather and safe navigation permitting. Should R&M direct a vessel to disembark from the dock, no such time shall be counted as time on demurrage and R&M shall not be liable for any losses, costs, or expenses incurred as a result of such direction; provided, however, that R&M may issue such direction only to the extent permitted by, and then in accordance with, the Operations Manual.
c Demurrage (if accrued) shall be payable by the responsible party for each running hour and prorated for each part of an hour for all time that used laytime exceeds the allowed laytime as defined herein. If the marine delivery vessel has met conditions as stated above, the demurrage rate will be the one in effect for the delivery vessel, or if the vessel is on time charter, the applicable AFRA rate for a vessel of the same size.
d During each Contract Year, Customer shall throughput 775,000 barrels of Products through the Terminal (the “Products Throughput Amount”). Products throughput through the Terminal shall be delivered to the Terminal in reasonably ratable monthly volumes (subject to disruptions in operation at the Philadelphia Refinery) during the months of April through September, and, except as provided in Attachment A with respect to Cavern #5 until not later than November 30, 2012, delivered out of the Terminal in reasonably ratable monthly volumes during the months of October through March. R&M shall be excused from any performance issue resulting from non-ratable monthly volumes (including as a result of disruptions in operation at the Philadelphia Refinery). Except as expressly provided in Attachment A, at no time shall Customer’s Products in storage exceed 775,000 barrels.
e R&M shall be permitted to commingle Products delivered for the account of Customer or its designee with products of other customers. Promptly following the depletion of Caverns 2, 3 and 5, and in any event no later than December 31, 2012, Customer shall request the grade of butane that will be stored in Caverns 2 and 3. The parties hereby agree that as of the date of this Agreement, Cavern 1 is designated for storage of isobutane. R&M will use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate Customer’s requests to store particular grades of Product in designated Caverns, including requests to change the grade of Products to be stored in designated Caverns (including Cavern 1), in a timely manner. If, at any time, Customer requests to store any grade of Product in a Cavern that is then used to store only Customer’s Product, R&M shall accommodate such request. Customer shall have the right to store up to 775,000 barrels of total Product at any time based upon specific Product storage capacity initially designated by the Customer per volumes for product grades in Attachment A. With respect to any grade of butane, Customer shall not be permitted to deliver butane in excess of the

Cavern capacity utilized for such grade of butane.
f All Products tendered by each party will conform to the specifications for such Products, for each Cavern, as set forth on Attachment B. R&M shall have no obligation to receive or handle Products with properties other than those specified above. R&M may, in its sole discretion, elect to receive and handle non-conforming Products in accordance with general industry practice, subject to the physical limitations of the Terminal. In this regard, Customer shall have the right to submit to R&M a Special Movement Request Form seeking approval for the receipt and handling of such Products, which form is attached hereto as Attachment C, and R&M agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to review the request and permit Customer to bring in materials outside of the above parameters, provided that, in no event, shall R&M be required to receive into tanks at the Terminal any Products with properties which would result, in R&M’s sole opinion, in R&M’s non-compliance with federal, state, or local law or regulatory requirements. Customer will provide daily run-down samples of delivered Products in a manner so as to ensure compliance with the specifications set forth on Attachment B.
h Subject to the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof, Customer shall be responsible for any damages, costs and expenses incurred by R&M at the Terminal resulting from any Products received at the Terminal for Customer’s account that are contaminated or non-conforming (as determined in accordance with Attachment B). Customer shall be responsible for any such contamination or non-conformance when, and only when, R&M gives Customer notice of same within thirty (30) days of R&M’s discovery of such contamination or non-conformance.
i Subject to the provisions of Sections 5 and 6(c) hereof, R&M shall be responsible for any direct damages resulting from the contamination or non-conformance of Customer’s Product (as determined in accordance with Attachment B) when, and only when, (1) such contamination or non-conformance is caused by R&M or another of R&M’s Terminal customers and (2) Customer gives R&M notice of same within thirty (30) days of Customer’s discovery of such contamination or non-conformance. “Direct damages” shall include only the cost and expenses of replacement Product and the costs of disposal incurred by the Customer for the contaminated Products, net of salvage value.
j Customer shall comply with, and shall cause its carriers to comply with, the provisions of the Facility Access Agreement, the form of which is attached hereto Attachment G.
k R&M SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM AN ACCIDENT OCCURRING IN ANY FEDERALLY MAINTAINED WATERWAY. R&M SHALL HAVE NO DUTY TO SCAN OR SURVEY FEDERALLY MAINTAINED WATERWAYS OR ANY CHANNEL EXTENDING FROM THE FEDERALLY MAINTAINED WATERWAY TO ANY BERTH AT THE FACILITIES FOR THE PURPOSE OF ATTEMPTING TO LOCATE SUBMERGED OBJECTS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY INTERFERE WITH NAVIGATION.

a Title to Products delivered to the Terminal pursuant to this Agreement shall remain always with PES or not more than one designee of PES, subject only to any lien(s) described in Section 3(c). Risk of loss of any such Products shall remain always with PES or its designee(s); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3 shall be deemed to bar recovery of amounts owed pursuant to this Agreement (including under an indemnity or as a result of R&M’s breach hereof).
b Custody of Products received from Customer at the Terminal shall pass to R&M at the time such Products enter the Terminal’s inlet flange located at the Terminal’s pipeline, truck or dock manifold, and shall remain with R&M until such time custody is transferred either:
(i) At the point of delivery into Customer’s nominated vessel;
(ii) To any of the pipelines specified in Attachment A; or
(iii) At the point of delivery into Customer’s trucks at the Loading Rack.
c In no event shall R&M have a lien or security interest on PES’s or its designees’ Products stored or handled at the Terminal unless PES has failed to pay R&M any fees for services (and not any other payments which may become due) described in this Agreement, including any appendix, which are not disputed in good faith and such failure to pay has continued without being remedied for a period of thirty (30) days following receipt by PES of a written notice of such non-payment issued by R&M.
d R&M acknowledges and agrees that title to Products delivered to the Terminal pursuant to this Agreement may be held by Persons other than PES (although not more than one Person at any one time). R&M acknowledges and agrees that PES intends to enter into one or more intermediation agreements with third parties that will utilize the services provided, and have title to some or all of the Products handled, by R&M hereunder. In consideration of PES’s execution of this Agreement with R&M, R&M hereby agrees that at the request of PES, it shall execute and deliver to any such intermediator, a Consent Agreement in the form of Attachment F. Such Persons other than PES that hold title to Products and such third parties who have entered into intermediation agreements with PES, together, shall be referred to herein as “Other Parties.”
e R&M shall enjoy all of the rights and remedies under this Agreement against PES as if PES were the owner of such Products. As provided in the Consent Agreement, SPMT will comply with lawful directions or instructions of Other Parties. PES acknowledges that in the event that SPMT receives conflicting directions or instructions from PES and Other Parties, PES acknowledges that SPMT will follow the directions or instructions of the Other Parties in accordance with the Consent Agreement.
4. PRODUCT MEASUREMENT
a Measurements of all Products shall be based upon United States gallons of 231 cubic

R&M will be responsible for all final inventory measurement and accounting. Customer shall have the right to participate with R&M in any measurement; but, in the absence of such participation, the measurements taken by R&M shall be binding upon both parties absent fraud or manifest error. If Customer requires an independent certified gauging by a mutually acceptable independent xxxxxx, such gauging will be at Customer’s expense. The independent xxxxxx’x report shall be binding on the parties hereto absent fraud or manifest error. Measurements shall follow one or more of the following guidelines:
i) API “Manual of Petroleum Standards”, chapters 4, 5, 9, 11 and 14.
b For all sampling, gravity, and temperature measurements:

Customer will be responsible for all losses and damage to its Products from any other cause. Absent obvious error, all adjustments provided for in this section shall be made based upon the book inventory as shown on the records of R&M at the time of the shortage or loss. In the event the parties should, during the term hereof, amend, modify, or otherwise alter their respective equipment and facilities at the Terminal or the Philadelphia Refinery, as the case may be, such that the Product measurement processes are amended or modified, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Section 5 to reflect such process amendments or modifications.

state, or federal governmental agency or authority having jurisdiction while the same is in force and effect, civil disturbances, explosions, breakage, breakdowns or accidents to facilities, machinery, equipment, chemical plant units or lines of pipe or inability to obtain or unavoidable delay in obtaining material, equipment, right of way easements, franchises, or permits.
b In the event either Party is rendered unable by an event of Force Majeure, in whole or in part, to perform its obligations under this Agreement (other than the obligation to make payment of amounts accrued hereunder when due), the obligations of such Party, so far as they are affected by such Force Majeure event, shall be suspended during the continuance of any inability so caused, but for no longer. The affected Party shall verbally notify the other Party of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event and the effects thereof as soon as is reasonably practicable, which verbal notice shall be followed up by a written notice confirming same, also as soon as is reasonably practicable. The affected Party shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to remedy the Force Majeure event, except that no Party shall be compelled to resolve any strikes, lockouts, or other industrial disputes other than as it shall determine to be in its best interests. The affected Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing when the event of Force Majeure has terminated.
c If, during the Term of this Agreement, R&M is unable to perform its obligations hereunder due to a Force Majeure event, PES shall be excused from its obligations (including its payment obligations) to the extent relating to R&M’s non-performance. In the event of a casualty affecting the Terminal, R&M may, at its option, rebuild and reconstruct the Terminal; provided, however, that R&M shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to substitute comparable storage facilities on an interim basis pending any such rebuilding or reconstruction. R&M shall provide notice in writing of its intent (or not) to rebuild or reconstruct the Terminal within sixty (60) days of the casualty event. If R&M elects not to so rebuild and reconstruct, or if, despite R&M’s commercially reasonable efforts, it is unable to provide comparable substitute facilities then either Party may terminate this Agreement without further obligation hereunder (other than obligations arising prior to such termination) upon ten (10) days written notice to the other Party.
9. CUSTOMER’S AUDIT RIGHTS
a Customer shall have the right, reasonably exercised, to: (i) observe and verify R&M’s performance of its services hereunder; (ii) have ingress and egress to, from and within the Terminal to the extent required for the purposes of this Agreement; and (iii) review and audit all of R&M’s records related to the performance of this Agreement, and to make copies thereof, at reasonable times and at Customer’s expense. None of the rights described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 9(a) shall be exercised by Customer in any way which will materially interfere with or diminish R&M’s control over, or its operation of, the Terminal and Customer shall be subject to reasonable rules and regulations promulgated by R&M.
b Following any audit as provided above, any mutually agreed adjustment charge or credit
** Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
to Customer will be issued by R&M within thirty (30) days after a copy of the completed audit is furnished to R&M.
c Should a Party fail to pay any amounts due hereunder or any amounts are owed upon resolution of such Dispute (as defined below), or be entitled to a refund of amounts paid but determined not to have been owed such Party shall owe the other Party interest on such amounts at the rate of [**] per annum over the prime lending rate publicly announced from time to time by Citibank N.A. of New York, NY on ninety day loans to substantial and responsible commercial borrowers, but not to exceed any applicable interest criteria imposed by law on the unpaid principal balance, from the date payment was due until it is received (or, in the case of amounts paid and determined not to have been owed, from the date paid until refunded). A Party shall reimburse the other Party for all actual costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) incurred by such other Party to collect overdue and unpaid amounts, including late payment charges, whether or not suit is brought.
10. TAXES
PES shall pay, or cause to be paid, all taxes, import duties, license fees and other governmental charges, if any, levied on the Products received, stored, delivered or otherwise handled by R&M for PES hereunder. PES shall pay, or cause to be paid, all governmental charges imposed on the transfer of Products from water borne carriers. PES shall indemnify and reimburse R&M for all costs or expenses incurred and paid by R&M in association with the foregoing taxes, expenses, fees or costs; provided, however, that PES shall not be responsible for any such taxes, duties, fees or charges based on R&M’s income or earnings.
11. ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
R&M and PES shall endeavor to resolve any dispute, controversy or claim (a “Dispute”) arising from or in connection with this Agreement in a fair and equitable manner. Prior to initiating legal proceedings with respect to any such Dispute, the Parties will seek resolution of disputes through discussions between senior executives of the respective Parties. In addition, R&M and PES may agree to engage in mediation of a Dispute, in which case the cost of the mediator shall be shared equally.
12. NOTICES

a Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder shall be assigned without the prior written consent of PES (in the case of any assignment by R&M) or R&M (in the case of any assignment by PES); provided, however, that: (i) either PES or R&M may make such an assignment to any of its Affiliates so long as the assignor remains liable hereunder; (ii) either PES or R&M may make a collateral assignment of this Agreement in connection with any financing by such Party; (iii) PES may make such an assignment to any Person to which PES has sold the Philadelphia Refinery if such Person (A) is reasonably capable of performing PES’s obligations under this Agreement, which determination shall be made by PES in its reasonable judgment, and (B) has agreed in writing with R&M to assume the obligations of PES hereunder; (iv) PES may make such an assignment (in whole or in part or through a mechanism other than an assignment) to any Person acting as an intermediator of all or any portion of the
** Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
Product(s) to be delivered, stored, handled and redelivered hereunder and (v) R&M may make such an assignment to Sunoco Logistics Partners LP or any subsidiary thereof. Any attempt to make an assignment otherwise than as permitted by the foregoing shall be null and void. The Parties hereto agree to require their respective successors, if any, to expressly assume, in a form of agreement acceptable to the other Parties, their obligations under this Agreement.
b In the event R&M sells the Terminal or any portion thereof, it shall be obligated to assign this Agreement, and to have the purchaser assume R&M’s obligations hereunder, pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance acceptable to PES. For purposes of this Agreement: (a) “Affiliate” means, as to the Person specified, any Person Controlling, Controlled by, or under common Control with such specified Person; provided, however, that no Person shall be deemed an Affiliate of any Person solely by reason of the exercise or existence of rights, interests or remedies under this Agreement; (b) “Control” (including correlative terms such as “controlled by” and “controlling”) means, as used with respect to any Person, the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and (c) “Person” means an individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, business trust, unincorporated organization, association, government agency or political subdivision thereof or other entity..
14. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW; NEW REGULATIONS OR CHANGES THERETO
a The parties hereto, and their customers, carriers and contractors, shall each be separately and solely responsible for compliance with all laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances specifically applicable to such party or person, and such party’s or person’s products, facilities and equipment.
b In the event that any applicable existing laws, codes or regulations are amended or new laws, codes or regulations are enacted or promulgated after the Effective Date that require a capital investment in facilities required to provide service to PES hereunder (a “Change in Law”), R&M shall act reasonably and in good faith to secure a waiver from, exception to, or extension of the time to comply with such Change in Law for the remaining Term of this Agreement. If, despite such efforts, R&M would incur incremental, out-of-pocket capital costs to comply with the Change in Law and satisfy its obligations to PES under this Agreement, R&M may, by written notice to PES, request to negotiate an adjustment in the throughput fee or other fees and charges paid hereunder to cover PES’s share (taking into consideration PES’s portion of the total throughput utilizing the affected facilities) of the reasonable, incremental, costs R&M would incur to comply with the Change in Law.
c If R&M requests to negotiate an adjustment in fees and charges pursuant to Section 14(b): (a) R&M shall provide PES with access to relevant information and documentation regarding such proposed adjustment, including the nature and cost of the contemplated improvements, R&M’s reasoning as to the means of complying with the
** Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
Change in Law if alternatives exist and the manner in which PES’s share of such costs are determined; and (b) the Parties shall be obligated to negotiate in good faith to agree to an adjustment as described in Section 14(b).
d If, despite good faith negotiations, the Parties are unable to agree to an adjustment pursuant to Section 14(b) in sufficient time for R&M to take such action as shall be necessary to comply with the Change in Law, R&M may terminate this Agreement without liability other than liabilities arising prior to such termination. In that event, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate to reach agreement on a schedule for terminating service hereunder.
15. FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT
a All fixtures, equipment and appurtenances attached to the Caverns, pipelines and other facilities of the Terminal by either party shall be and remain the property of R&M. No such items may be installed or removed by Customer without the prior written permission of R&M.
b Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Terminal and all equipment and fixtures located at the Terminal are the sole and exclusive property of R&M and nothing herein shall be deemed to confer upon Customer any interests in the aforesaid properties or the right to use, operate, control or direct the operation, or otherwise exercise any dominion or control over such properties.
16. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
a A Party shall be in default under this Agreement if: (a) it fails to perform a material obligation; (b) such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after notice thereof or, if such failure cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, such longer period (not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days) so long as such Party is diligently and continuously engaged in curing such failure.
b In the event a Party is in default of this Agreement pursuant to Section 16(a), the non-defaulting Party may terminate this Agreement upon notice to the defaulting Party.
c Not later than the time of termination of this Agreement, or if a period of notice of termination is not provided, immediately thereafter, Customer shall, at its own expense, remove its Products from the Terminal. If Customer is unable to so remove the Products, they may be disposed of by R&M in its sole but reasonable discretion at fair market value, in which case R&M shall promptly provide to Customer the proceeds of such sale minus R&M’s reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such disposition (including direct internal costs and reasonable overhead, as well as storage costs), which shall be retained by R&M.
** Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
17. MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES
R&M shall conduct maintenance at the Terminal in such a manner as to avoid or reasonably minimize any disruptions in service to PES. R&M shall provide PES with as much advance notice as may be reasonably practicable of any maintenance that will affect PES’s operations.
18. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as otherwise permitted herein, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
19. ENTIRETY OF AGREEMENT - NO MODIFICATION
This instrument contains the entire Agreement between the Parties hereto regarding the subject matter hereof, and no prior promises, agreements, or warranties written or verbal shall be of any force or effect unless embodied herein. No modification of this Agreement shall be of any force or effect unless reduced to writing and signed by both Parties. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by the Party against whom the waiver is sought to be enforced. No failure or delay in exercising any right hereunder, and no course of conduct, shall operate as a waiver of any provision of this Agreement. No single or partial exercise of a right hereunder shall preclude further or complete exercise of that right or any other right hereunder.
20. ATTACHMENTS
Attachments referenced herein constitute a part of this Agreement and are incorporated herein and made a part hereof for all purposes.
21. GOVERNING LAW
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding any choice or conflicts of laws thereof.
22. CONFIDENTIALITY
The Parties hereto acknowledge that each (a “Receiving Party”) may obtain confidential information or proprietary information (“Confidential Information”) from the other Party (a “Disclosing Party”) including information referring to Products or the business plans or operations of the Parties; provided, however, that Confidential Information shall not include any information that: (a) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party; (ii) is or becomes available from a source other than the Disclosing Party; or (iii) is or was independently developed by employees, representatives or advisors of the Receiving Party without use of, or reference to, any Confidential Information. The Parties shall at all times keep confidential and not disclose to any third party any Confidential Information for any purpose other than in

connection with performance pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that a Receiving Party is requested or required pursuant to law, including pursuant to written or oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, by interrogatory, subpoena or similar process, to disclose any Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall, to the maximum extent reasonably permissible by law, notify the Disclosing Party promptly of the request or requirement so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 22. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Receiving Party determines in good faith that it is required by law to disclose any Confidential Information, the Receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information to the extent required to comply with law. With respect to any disclosure of Confidential Information, the obligations of a Receiving Party set forth in this Section 22 shall survive for a period of three (3) years following such disclosure.
23. SEVERABILITY
If any provision of this Agreement is held illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any other provision hereof. In such circumstances, the Agreement shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to render enforceable to the maximum extent feasible the provisions hereof.
24. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, neither this Agreement nor the performance hereof shall be deemed to create a partnership, joint venture, association or other co-operative entity among the Parties or authorize any Party to represent or contract on behalf of the other Party. R&M, in performing the services under this Agreement, is acting solely as an independent contractor and is not as an agent of PES. The provision of services under this Agreement shall be under the sole supervision, control and direction of R&M and not PES.

Consisting of: |
|
|
|
1) Storage of 348,000 barrels for one grade of butane, 215,000 barrels for a second grade of butane, and 212,000 barrels for a third grade of butane with a total storage capacity of approximately 775,000 barrels; provided that any two grades referenced can be the same grade. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, R&M may substitute similar suitable storage capacity for R&M’s convenience, whether inside or outside the Terminal, provided that Customer shall bear no additional costs for such substitution. As of the date of this Agreement, there is butane stored on behalf of Customer in Cavern #5 (the “Legacy Butane”). In addition to the 775,000 barrel storage capacity, until November 30, 2012, Customer shall have use of Cavern #5 to store (but not add additional butane to) the Legacy Butane. Customer shall arrange for the Legacy Butane to be removed not later than November 30, 2012 and, until the Legacy Butane has been fully removed, shall not cause to be delivered out of the Terminal any butane other than the Legacy Butane. |

Storage Fees: |
Although all other fees provided under this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date, there shall be no fixed throughput fees charged during the first three Contract Years. Thereafter, in addition to the other fees provided under this Agreement, Customer will pay R&M a fixed annual throughput fee of $0.25 per gallon, for 775,000 barrels of Products received at the Terminal each Contract Year (regardless of whether 775,000 barrels are actually received at the Terminal during such Contract Year). Notwithstanding the fact that there is no fixed annual throughput fee payable during the first three Contract Years, the $0.25 per gallon fee shall be subject to escalation as described below beginning at the end of the first Contract Year. This fixed annual fee will be paid monthly on a prorated basis. |
|
|
|
Beginning on the Effective Date, Customer will pay an excess volume fees of $[**] per gallon for receipts in excess of 775,000 barrels of Products received at the Terminal during any Contract Year. |
** Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
|
If Customer shall default in making any payments required by this Agreement and such default shall not be cured within five (5) business days after R&M delivers Customer a notice of default, then R&M may require Customer to (a) make payments on a more frequent basis than provided in this Agreement, (b) provide prepayment prior to the first business day of each month of an amount of money expected to be required to be paid by Customer under this Agreement during such month under this Agreement or (c) take such other action as is reasonable and consistent with R&M’s internal credit policies in effect on the date of this Agreement and mutually agreeable to Customer; provided, however, that Customer may, at its sole option, but shall not be required to, provide a letter of credit, payment bond or other similar instrument from a bank reasonably acceptable to R&M, with terms reasonably acceptable to R&M, and in an amount reasonably acceptable to R&M. Failure by Customer to comply with this paragraph shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement entitling R&M to cancel or suspend its obligations under this Agreement (in whole or in part at R&M’s discretion) or terminate this Agreement. The exercise by R&M of any right reserved under this paragraph shall be without prejudice to any claim for damages or any other right under this Agreement or applicable law. For avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that timely payment hereunder shall include the exercise of any applicable right of set-off.
|
Truck Rack Loading/ Unloading Fee: |
Customer will pay R&M a fee of $[**] per gallon for all volumes received by truck or delivered into truck via the loading rack. Should Customer desire to load or unload more than five trucks per day, such additional trucks must be nominated by Customer and approved by R&M in advance in its discretion.
|
Dock Loading/Unloading Fee: |
Customer will pay R&M a fee of $[**] per gallon for all volumes received across the dock or delivered across the dock. Customer shall be limited to a total of five marine vessels per month. Each vessel shall spend no more than a period equal to the available pump rate multiplied by the volume being loaded or unloaded plus 2 hours at the dock. |
|

|
Except as provided in this Agreement, PES shall not be subject to any charges or fees, including for mooring and unmooring of ships, independent inspection, laboratory testing, demurrage or extraordinary matters unless such fees are set forth and applicable pursuant to: (a) the then current Operations Manual; or (b) the Fee Schedule — Letter to Agents (the “Fee Schedule”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Attachment D. R&M shall have the right to amend the Fee Schedule from time to time, but no more frequently than once each year; provided, however, that: (a) any change to the fees must (i) be based on changes in |
** Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
|
R&M’s out-of-pocket costs to provide the relevant services at the Terminal, which shall be passed through to PES with a commercially reasonable xxxx-up consistent with past practice, and (ii) apply equally to all Persons utilizing the Terminal; and (b) R&M shall provide PES with reasonable advance notice of the effective date of any amendment to the Fee Schedule. In addition to these fees, there is a booming fee of $[**] per vessel payable by Customer which is not reflected in the letter. This fee will be charged for any vessel where booming is required by law. | ||||
|
| ||||
Escalation: |
Beginning on the end of the first Contract Year and continuing on each subsequent anniversary of such date during the term of this Agreement, all of the fees hereunder will be subject to adjustment to reflect changes in the most recently published U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI) for the 365-Day period immediately preceding such anniversary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the fees will never be adjusted downward. The following is an illustrative example of the foregoing provisions: | ||||
|
| ||||
|
Example: If, on September 1, 2013, the most recent 12-month period for which CPI data is available is from August 1, 2012 through July 31, 2013 and the CPI increased by 1.0% during such 12-month period, all of the applicable fees will increase by 1.0% beginning September 1, 2013 | ||||
|
| ||||
Invoicing Procedure: |

R&M will invoice the Customer monthly for the preceding calendar month activity. | |||
|

PREFACE
This Port Manual (the “Manual”) provides information to Owners, Charters, Ships’ Masters, Barge Tankerman, Operators and Agents of vessels loading and/or unloading at the Sunoco Marcus Hook Facility in Marcus Hook Pa. owned and operated by Sunoco Refining and Marketing (R&M). It describes the conditions on use of the Facility, services provided by Sunoco at the Facility, services located at the Facility, and regulations of Sunoco to which all users of the Facility are subject. The material in this Manual supplements, but does not supersede, any information provided by, or any law or regulations enacted by, state, federal, or other governmental agencies.
It is the policy of Sunoco R&M that in the conduct of its activities it will strive to protect and promote the health and safety of its employees, customers, contractors, visitors, and others who may be affected by these activities, and to limit adverse affects on the physical environment in which its activities are carried out. It is essential that anyone coming through the facility to the docks follow the safety procedures as specified in Section 7 - B. Safety Regulations.
The information supplied in this Manual is furnished from available records which are believed to be accurate. Sunoco, however, makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy of this information, and disclaims any liability or responsibility for damage or injury that may arise from use of this information. Sunoco strongly recommends that any information contained herein involving vessel operations be independently confirmed.
Every vessel calling at the Facility will be liable for all cleanup charges relating to spills that occur as a result of such vessel’s operations, the negligence of its owner, crew or operator, or equipment failure. All damage caused to the Facility docks or other facilities due to the failure of a ship to control its speed or approach in accordance with this Port Manual will be the responsibility of the owner and operator of such ship, including damages resulting from an accident occurring in a federally maintained waterway. Such damages shall include, but shall not be limited to, fringe benefits and overhead, and any loss of revenue due to disruptions in operations. In addition, the Facility Operator has no duty to scan or survey federally maintained waterways for the purpose of attempting to locate submerged objects that could potentially interfere with navigation. The Facility Operator also has no duty to scan or survey for submerged objects in any approach (channel) extending from the federally maintained waterway to the berth. The quarterly soundings do include the approaches to the dock berths in addition to the berths. If submerged objects are suspected per the soundings then as a proactive approach the surveyor will perform a side scan of the area if directed by the Marine Dept. rep.
** Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
Most importantly, this Manual covers the Sunoco regulations that all vessels must follow, along with applicable governmental requirements, to avoid accidents and prevent oil spills. Nothing in this manual should be interpreted to relieve the Ship’s Master, Barge Tankerman, Barge Captain or the designated Person in Charge of their responsibilities to operate their vessel in a safe and seaworthy manner. Vessels are required to comply with all applicable laws and regulations including the Port and Tanker Safety Act of 1978, OPA-90 and Industry accepted standards. Every regulation in this manual applies to ships and tugs and barges unless otherwise noted. The term “vessel” is used for both ships and tugs and barges. Vessels which do not comply with all the requirements of this manual may not be permitted to dock or may be required to immediately cease operations, disconnect and leave the berth.

SUNOCO MARCUS HOOK FACILITY
NOMINATING PROCEDURE AND VESSEL SCHEDULING
The official language at the Facility is English. Therefore, responsible personnel must be aboard at all times who can effectively communicate in English with Facility personnel.
A. NOMINATING PROCEDURE — SHIPS
The ship nomination procedure is a three step process:
1. Schedule dock window
2. Cargo quality and quantity
3. Vessel Vetting
The minimum advance notice prior to the estimated time of arrival that must be submitted to the Facility by Sunoco’s customer shall constitute the ship’s “Nomination” and must be supplied according to the following window schedule shown in Figure 11 below unless otherwise provided by contractual agreement. The Facility will have the sole discretion to determine the amount of nomination it can accept based on operational considerations including, but not limited to, dock availability, cargo type, vessel vetting, etc. Special provisions and arrangements with the dock may be needed during inclement weather events.
DOCK WINDOW
No more than three (3) business days after receipt of the nomination, Sunoco shall either advise customer that the window of each vessel is accepted, or request that customer accept available dates or re-nominate with a different date range. No more than three (3) days after receipt of a request from Sunoco for a different date range, customer shall nominate a vessel within that available date range or reach agreement with Sunoco with respect to another date range.
Date range allowed for arrivals are: Five (5) days at the time of nomination. The vessel, or its agent, when fifteen (15) days from the expected arrival date, shall notify Sunoco and designate a three (3) day date range within the original date range. Within seven (7) days of arrival, the vessel or its agent must narrow the range to a two (2) day window and provide daily updates. Failure to comply with the nomination process could result in loss of right to dock a vessel within the agreed upon date range.

CARGO QUALITY AND QUANTITY
Customer will provide the cargo name, properties and quantity for review and approval by Sunoco. All cargo types require a cargo assay and/or current load port analysis to be approved by Sunoco for discharge at the Facility. The cargo assay must be current (not more than 3 years old) and representative of the cargo that is to be discharged. A cargo assay must include the following properties:
· Gravity - API degree
· Viscosity - SUS @ 100 F and SUS @ 60 F
· Read Vapor Pressure - psi
· Hydrogen Sulfide content - ppm (in liquid and vapor phase)
· Sulfur content - percent weight (required on all shipments)
· Pour Point - degree F
Sunoco reserves the right to request a cargo assay or load port analysis on previously approved cargo types to determine if cargo properties are within contractual limits. The following cargo types are subject to Sunoco approval and may be require additional discharge conditions:
· High viscosity cargoes (as defined in customer terminal agreement) may require a cargo blend plans and/or line flush.
· High Pour Point cargoes may require injection of pour point depressant during discharge operations.
· High Hydrogen Sulfide cargoes may require injection of hydrogen sulfide depressant during discharge operations.

Sunoco reserves the right to inbound a cargo vessel with a TOV that exceeds the customer’s tank available space after an operational discharge plan has been approved.
VESSEL VETTING
All customers will be required to have all nominated vessels evaluated under the accepted vetting policies and procedures of Sunoco. The Sunoco Marine Scheduler will request vessel vetting information for the customer’s nominated vessel. If the vessel meets the Sunoco approved vetting criteria it will be accepted for loading or discharge at the Sunoco Marcus Hook Facility.
In order to complete the nomination and scheduling process the customer is required to submit the following information:
· Requested Date WINDOW - As per chart above

1. Vessel Name
2. Charterer/Consignee
3. Charter Party Name
4. Product
5. Volume to be loaded
6. Estimated Date of Arrival
7. Vessel size (Draft, length, beam)
At the time of departure from previous port, the Marine Scheduler must be notified of the Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) at the Facility and this ETA shall be updated daily. Sunoco shall not reject a Marine Vessel Nomination if such rejection would reasonably be expected to result in a shipment delay of more than 24 hours, unless such a rejection is based on the nominated Marine Vessel failing to satisfy the vessel specification requirements in the vessel vetting criteria.
The customer will provide an updated vessel ETA three (3) days prior to expected arrival. Within twenty four hours of receipt of the updated ETA, Sunoco will respond with a two (2) day berthing window.
At time of nomination, there must be a projection that there will be sufficient ullage for the cargo in the facility’s shore tanks. If there is not projected ullage in the facility’s shore tanks, an exemption from lay time should be negotiated and committed to in writing prior to the facility agreeing to berth the vessel. If loading at the Sunoco Marcus Hook Facility docks, barge must be vapor tight and provide a valid Vapor Tightness Certification before discharge operations commences.
D. DOCK COMMUNICATIONS
The Facility docks are equipped with a positive ship-to-facility radio communication system. On arrival, Sunoco will provide radios (walkie-talkies), at least one of which must be with the English-speaking person in charge at all times, and for which a signed receipt is required.

5. DELIVERY PROVISIONS
A. GENERAL
It is the intent of both customer and Sunoco to minimize the total in-port time of the delivering vessel as well as to minimize the usage of the Facilities docking facilities by the delivering vessel.
The purpose of this section is to define acceptable norms for in-port vessel time and berth occupancy time in order to provide a means of compensation for the other party when either the vessel or Sunoco exceeds these norms.
The Facility docks are maintained so that vessels having a length overall and beam up to a maximum of the individual capabilities as described in Appendix I — Dock Restrictions are able to proceed thereto, lie thereat, and depart there from safely afloat, provided a channel fresh water depth of 40’ mean low tide. CUSTOMER RECOGNIZES AND AGREES THAT SUNOCO’S RESPONSIBILTIY TO MAINTAIN SAFE BERTH APPLIES EXCLUSIVELY TO THE FACILITY’S BERTHING AREA AND DOES NOT EXTNED TO CHANNELS OR ANCHORAGE AREAS MAINTAINED BY FEDERAL OR OTHER ENTITIES.
The customer shall instruct vessel or vessel’s respective agent to report to Sunoco by email and telephone 7 days, 4 days, 3 days, 2 days, and again 1 day prior to arrival stating the expected date and hour of arrival at Big Stone.
** Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
However, if the vessel loads less than seventy-two (72) hours prior to arrival at Big Stone, customer shall instruct vessel agent to contact the Marine Scheduler by telephone to determine dock availability as aforesaid promptly upon sailing for the facility.
Upon arrival at Big Stone, the Vessel’s Master or Respective Agent will advise Sunoco of the Notice of Readiness to unload cargo by email. The vessel shall be deemed ready to unload within the meaning of this clause whether it arrives during or outside of usual business hours, berth or no berth.
X. XXX TIME
Lay time shall be allowed to Sunoco for the unloading of the cargo and is herein defined as the greater of (a) 36 hours or (b) 4 hours plus the time resulting from dividing the cargo by 10,000 bph, provided that the vessel maintains 100 psig at Sunoco’s dock manifold. Lay time shall commence when the vessel is All Fast to the dock and shall end upon disconnection of the cargo arms or hoses.
Expectations with respect to Lay time calculations are as follows:
1) Lay time shall not commence until the vessel is All Fast. Vessels shall be berthed on a first come first serve basis in accordance with section 4.
2) Any delay in unloading due to the vessel’s condition or breakdown or inability of the vessel to unload cargo within allowed lay time shall not count as used lay time.
3) Time used for measuring and sampling the vessel’s cargo shall not count as used lay time.
4) If the vessel’s owner or charterer prohibits unloading or movement of the ship at any time after berthing, the time so lost shall not count as used lay time.
If the vessel is not unloaded within the allowed lay time as defined above due exclusively to non-performance by Sunoco, Sunoco shall pay demurrage in United States Dollars per running hour and pro rata for a part thereof for all time that used lay time exceeds allowed lay time at the rate defined in the governing charter party.
Demurrage shall not be incurred by reason of fires, severe weather, explosions, or by strike, picketing, lockout, stoppage or restraint of labor or other labor difficulties or disturbances or other events that are outside of Sunoco’s control.
If the customer vessel arrives at Big Stone and tenders Notice of Readiness to unload prior to the commencement of the date range as described above, it shall be berthed promptly after those vessels which have tendered Notice of
** Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
Readiness to load or unload at the Facility within their date range as describe above.
If the berthing of the customer vessel prior to the commencement of its date range would interfere with, or cause a delay to, another vessel which is running on schedule but which has not tendered Notice of Readiness, Sunoco may defer the berthing of the customer vessel to permit said other vessel to berth. If the other vessel has not arrived at Big Stone and tendered Notice of Readiness before 0001 on the first day of the customer vessel’s date range, the customer’s vessel shall have prior right to berth.
If the customer vessel tenders Notice of Readiness prior to the commencement of its date range, lay time shall not commence until the vessel is All Fast.
If the vessel arrives at Big Stone and tenders Notice of Readiness after the expiration of its date range, Sunoco shall use its reasonable efforts to berth it as promptly as possible provided, however, that Sunoco may defer the berthing of the vessel if it would interfere with, or cause a delay, to another vessel which is within scheduled date range. If berthing of the late customer vessel is delayed by another customer vessel running on schedule, allowed lay time shall not commence until the late customer vessel is all fast alongside the Sunoco Dock. If berthing of the late customer vessel is delayed by something other than a customer vessel running on schedule, allowed lay time shall commence forty-eight (48) hours after tendering the Notice of Readiness or when the late customer vessel is all fast alongside the Sunoco Dock, whichever is earlier.
Flexible connections for unloading shall be furnished by Sunoco. All vessels will be equipped with permanent discharge connections located amidship.
C. FREE TIME
Free time as used herein shall be defined as the normal minimum time allowed by Sunoco to Customer’s owned or controlled vessels to perform Customer’s functions.
Sunoco and Vessel’s Master shall consult prior to the beginning of discharge to determine the projected unloading. In situations where vessels are awaiting berth, Sunoco shall be entitled to have vessels vacate the berth immediately after completion of free time subject to considerations of the safety of the vessel. Bunkering ex-pipe and ballasting shall take place concurrent with discharge at Sunoco’s discretion, during allowed free time, or at an anchorage. Vacating the berth prior to the completion of allowed free time shall be negotiated by Sunoco and the Vessel’s Master. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by customer.
As allowed free time, vessels shall be allowed the lesser of (a) 36 hours or (b) 4 hours plus the time resulting from dividing the total cargo by an average
** Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
unloading rate of 5,000 barrels per hour or loading rate of 5,000 barrels per hour contingent on constraints on temperature or pressure. In the event a vessel exceeds the allowed free time that results in the vessel missing the next available outbound window the customer will be assessed a lay berth (dock) fee, see Section 8 Current Fee Schedule. The lay berth (dock) fee period is defined as starting after expiration of free time until the vessel has completed discharge operations and the loading arms are disconnected.
Note: Additional dock time will only be authorized if it will not interfere with, or cause a delay to, another vessel and must be arranged through Sunoco’s Marine Scheduler.
Used free time shall commence when the vessel is All Fast and shall end All Fast when the last line ashore is off.
If unloading is restricted or prevented by lack of ullage, Sunoco shall not be obligated to maintain guaranteed minimum unloading rates and time at the dock shall count as free time regardless of the unloading rate while so restricted.
Exceptions to free time calculations are as follows:
Time lost by reason of fires, explosion or by strike, picketing, labor difficulties or disturbance or breakdown of machinery in or about the Facility, severe weather delaying operations after the vessel is berthed, any action of a government authority or any other condition causing delay beyond the control of Sunoco, shall not count as free time.
If Sunoco restricts unloading at any time to a value less than the maximum pressure represented in Section below, free time as described above shall be extended based on the amount of time that the vessel is restricted by the Facility.
If the vessels nominated by customer are unable to complete unloading within the free time thereby delaying another vessel or vessels through no fault of Sunoco, Sunoco shall have the right to terminate discharging and direct the vessel to vacate the berth provided, however, that an arrangement shall be reached with Sunoco as to re-berthing of the vessel at the Facility dock so as to complete unloading.
If the vessel is delayed at the berth beyond the allowed free time herein provided through no fault of Sunoco and a waiting vessel or vessels are delayed as a result, customer’s obligation hereunder is limited to the demurrage costs Sunoco pays to said vessel or vessels as a result of said vessel’s delay plus $500.00 per hour for each hour the berth is unavailable to the next waiting vessel which is on schedule. The maximum allowable discharge pressure (MAWP) from vessel shall not exceed 100 psig at Sunoco’s Dock Manifolds for
** Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
vessels using hoses for oil. The MAWP for Vessels using loading arms for oil is 125#psig. The MAWP for LHG vessels loading or discharging Butane is 175#psig. The MAWP for vessels receiving or discharging Propane or Propylene is 225#psig. The cargo shall be pumped out of the vessel at the expense, risk and peril of the vessel until passed to Sunoco’s custody at the vessel’s permanent hose connections.
The vessel shall be free of wharf, dock, or quay dues at the Facility. Contracted services required in connection with mooring and unmooring the vessel (tie up and untie) will be arranged for by customer’s respective agent, however, the charges for said contracted services will be for the account of customer. Customer shall be advised in advance of any unique or extraordinary contracted services.
X. XXXXX LAY TIME AND FREE TIME (MOORING AND UNMOORING)
Barge lay time and free time shall commence when the vessel is all fast. Laytime will end when hoses are disconnected and free time shall end with the last line ashore is off. Time allowed for lay time and free time shall be three (3) hours for hookup and gauging plus the number of hours resulting from dividing the total cargo by 5,000.
The barge’s minimum pumping rate shall be 5,000 barrels per hour against a maximum back pressure at Sunoco’s Dock Manifold of 100 psig.
Barge dock mooring and unmooring shall include connection and disconnection of loading arm and/or hose, which shall be provided by barge personnel in conjunction with contract and Sunoco personnel as specified in Section 3. In the event that barge transfer occurs at a ship dock, customer’s barge representative will arrange mooring and unmooring service. All reasonable and usual charges for said contracted services will be to the account of customer.

The Dock Facility Person In Charge and/or Operations Shift Superintendent will also visit the vessel during cargo transfer, and with the approval of the vessel’s
** Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
Deck Watch will check to ensure that safe working practices are being observed by both vessel and dock. Pump-off rates and line pressures will be monitored.
C. SHORE STOPS
Requests for Sunoco to stop the flow of oil cargo at a predetermined tonnage will be on a case by case basis. Any such request must include the statement by the vessel’s Master that Sunoco will not be held responsible for any error. Vessel’s Master will be held responsible for any oil spills caused by the vessel.
D. UNLOADING RATES

Pump-off rates are contingent on the Maximum Operating Pressure of the dock berth and the temperature of the product if the product is an LHG. The Maximum Operating Pressure of the discharge must never exceed the established Maximum Operating Pressure of the berth. Failure to maintain transfer rate and established discharge pressure agreed upon in the pre-cargo conference between vessel and Sunoco may result in penalties.
** Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
E. MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES & PRESSURE LIMITS
Maximum temperatures and pressure limits shall also be determined at the pre-cargo transfer conference. Maximum cargo temperature for oil products is 160° degrees Fahrenheit for cargo transfers. Temperatures for Liquefied Hazardous Gas cargoes are contingent on the use of the warming area for Butane and vessel compressor systems for Propane which could also affect the loading and/or discharge rate of the vessel.
G. LOADING – STANDBY & NORMAL SHUTDOWN
See Appendix I - Dock Restrictions for Load rates and vapor restrictions.
Vessel may request slowdown at any time. For convenience, slowdowns should be in increments of 1,000 bbl. per hour, etc or in pressure reduction increments to create a resultant slowdown. Approximately 5 minutes minimum should be allowed for any requested slowdown.
Initial standby for shutdown should be given at minimum of one hour. Secondary notification shall be given 15 minutes prior to the anticipated shutdown. At this time, the Person In Charge of the transfer will stand by the dock riser valve at the vessel hose connection. Pump shutdown will occur simultaneously from the loading point with the closing of the riser valve at the dock manifold. With pushing of the shutdown button; however, oil can continue into the vessel until the dock riser valve is closed (approximately 3 minutes).
Vessel loading officer must keep the above in mind when making stops. Upon the completion of oil movement, hoses and/or loading arms are normally drained back to the vessel or shore for oil products or blown back to vessel with nitrogen for Liquefied Hazardous Gas Cargoes. refer to Appendix VI - Blowback Procedure.
H. EMERGENCY LOADING SHUTDOWN
The vessel PIC will be supplied with a radio set to the communications channel for the Facility. Radio communication will be made to the Facility for emergency shutdown. The Facility PIC will contact the unit operating the pump and instruct the personnel to turn off the pumps and then manually close the shore valves. No prior notice is required for requesting an emergency shutdown.

7. SAFETY & ENVIRONMENT
A. PRINCIPLES
When a vessel is berthed at a Facility dock, Sunoco expects the vessel’s Master to give top priority at all times to safety and efficiency, and to comply with all safety regulations mandated by various governmental agencies, as well as those included in this Manual.
All cargo-handling operations on the vessel are the responsibility of the vessel’s Master. To assist in ship-to-dock communications, a radio pack set (Walkie-Talkie) which will enable the Deck Watch or the person in charge of cargo transfer to communicate with the Facility Person In Charge will be provided.
The radio battery packs are intrinsically safe for use in a hazardous location. If a vessel disregards any of the following safety regulations, Sunoco Facility personnel are authorized to stop cargo-transfer operations and require the vessel to leave its berth. The vessel’s Master has the right to shut down cargo transfer if dock operations are believed to be unsafe, provided the vessel’s Master gives adequate advance notice to the Facility Person In Charge.
Please refer to Section 1, F. Weather for special provisions during weather events.
B. SAFETY REGULATIONS
The provisions of Part 35, “Operations”, of the Rules and Regulations for Tank Vessels, Subchapter D (DG-123) published by the United States Coast Guard, are in force at the Facility and must be observed.
The following regulations must be observed AT ALL TIMES while berthed at Facility docks:
Boiler Tube Blowing - Do not blow boiler tubes, and take every precaution to prevent sparks from escaping from the stack. If vessel safety is at stake, stop transfer operations before blowing the tubes.
Cargo Tank Tops - Before berthing, all tank tops, ullage plugs, and sighting ports must be closed and dogged down unless the Vessel’s Master certifies that the tanks are gas-free and all ballast in such tanks is clean.
Cargo and bunker tank tops must be kept closed. This also applies to permanent ballast tanks.
Ship Manifold Connections, Unused - Unused cargo and bunker connections will be blinded. All blind flanges must meet current U.S. Coast Guard requirements.
** Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
Engines - Keep the engines ready and the vessel trimmed so it can leave the docks under short notice. If the engines become inoperable, keep two tugboats of adequate size standing by until emergency repairs are made.
Fire Fighting - Firefighting equipment must be available as per applicable U.S. Coast Guard regulations.
FIRE ALARM - In the event of fire on board vessel, however minor it may be, the Fire Alarm shall be given immediately, as follows: Rapid and continuous ringing of vessel’s xxxx, together with succession of long blasts on vessel’s whistle or siren.
Gas Venting - Ullage Holes - Keep all ullage or sighting ports completely closed (not secured) except for intermittent periods needed to ullage or sight vessel’s tanks.
Flame Arrestors - When open, all ullage ports must be protected by clean, well-fitted flame arrestors of wire-gauze screens; these must be of an approved type and have no defects.
Gas Freeing and Tank Cleaning - Do not gas-free or clean any tanks at berth without prior approval of the Facility Operations Superintendent.
Gangways - Tend the gangway and keep it safely secured. Vessel will provide safety net under gangway.
Mooring Lines - A minimum of 16 lines are required. Tend mooring lines to keep them taut and keep the vessel in position. See that tension winches are on manual brake. Since vessels may have a tendency to drift away from the dock, tend the mooring lines with special care when vessels pass. The Facility Person In Charge has the authority to shut down cargo transfer if lines are not kept taut.
Portholes - Portholes facing the cargo transfer area must remain closed.
Repairs - While at berth, do not perform any repair work, hot work, or maintenance work.
Radio - At all times in port, keep your radio transmitter and aerials switched off and grounded. Portable radios (walkie-talkies) that are certified intrinsically safe may be used.
Sea Suction and Bilge Valves - All of the vessel’s sea, bilge, and overboard discharge valves connected to the cargo system must be tightly closed, latched and sealed in accordance with U.S. Coast Guard Regulation 33 CFR 155. The seals are not to be broken while berthed except in the presence of the Dock Operator or in case of emergency.
** Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
Sewage Discharge - No facilities for sewage discharge are available at the Facility.
Smoking - Smoking on board is allowed only in places which the Vessel’s Master has personally approved. There is to be NO SMOKING ON THE DOCK OR OPEN DECK OF THE VESSEL AT ANY TIME.
Xxxxx Discharge Line - Keep the xxxxx discharge line, if any, blanked at all times.
Suspension of Operations - Transfers, ballasting, crude washing, etc., may be suspended at the discretion of the Vessel’s Master or the Facility Person In Charge of the transfer as set forth in this Manual or during events where suspension would be prudent.
Communications Breakdown - In the event a breakdown of communications between the vessel and the Facility, occurs during transfer operations, and it should be necessary to shut off the flow of cargo to the vessel, an emergency signal consisting of a continuous sounding of the vessel’s whistle shall be given. This signal shall not be discontinued until the flow of cargo has been shut off.
Communication - Ship/Shore - Station a responsible English-speaking member of the crew on the loading deck by the transfer connections to maintain communication or remain in visual contact with the Facility Person In Charge at all times. The Facility Person In Charge must be notified when changes in rates are required, using radio pack sets or voice contact.
Doors - See that all external doors facing the cargo transfer deck remain closed.
Electrical Lights and Cables - Use only vapor-proof electric lights of an approved type on the open deck. Disconnect portable electrical equipment on the open deck unless certified for use in hazardous areas.
Galley Fires - No galley fires are permitted without approval from the Facility Operations Shift Superintendent.
Hand Lanterns (Flashlights) - All hand lanterns used during cargo transfer must meet U.S. Coast Guard regulations.
Hoses - Inspect all cargo-loading hoses or arms to see that they are in good condition, fully bolted, and properly connected before transfer. The hose or arm-to-riser connections must have U.S. Coast Guard approved drip pans under them. When cargo transfer has concluded, each hose/arm is to be drained and blank-flanged before being removed from the vessel.
** Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
Scuppers - Plug and cement the scuppers. Do not remove the plugs until vessel has departed, except when necessary to drain off rain water. In such cases, supervise the drainage closely and replace the plugs immediately. Install splash boards (on dock side) over scuppers. Cement is to be supplied by the vessel.
Special Stock Hazards
Static-Ignition Hazards - Some kinds of stock require special precautions because of the static they accumulate. Review the instructions by owners/charterer for handling such static stock and discuss during pre-cargo-transfer inspection.
Hydrogen-Sulfide Hazards - Some kinds of crude may contain dissolved hydrogen sulfide in concentrations which could be hazardous if inhaled. Review the instruction by owners/charterer about hydrogen sulfide hazards. If concentration of hydrogen sulfide exceeds 100 ppm in the vapor space of vessel’s tanks, notification must be made in writing to the Marine Scheduler and Operations Shift Superintendent at least 24 hours prior to vessel’s estimated time of arrival.
Aromatic-Stock Hazards - Special precautions are required for toxic cargos such as aromatics. Review the instructions by owners/charterer about toxic chemical hazards.
Valve Shutoff - Many new vessels have motor-operated valves, operated from a central location. Never operate these valves to close off against full oil-delivery rates.
Emergency Shutdown - Radio communication is the primary mode of emergency shutdown. Under no circumstances should the vessel’s valves be closed against shore loading lines. The lines through which a vessel loads are clearly marked on the dock. If necessary the Facility Person In Charge must be called upon to close these lines.
Ventilators - Keep ventilators suitably trimmed with regard to tank vents and prevailing wind conditions to prevent entry of flammable vapors.
Air Intakes and Air Conditioning Units - Close any central air-conditioning or fresh-air intakes which might take in gas. Close all intakes within a combined total of 100 ft. vertically and horizontally of cargo tank openings and venting points. External window-type air-conditioning units that face the cargo transfer area must be kept disconnected.
Lifebuoys - Lifebuoys should be available in loading manifold area, and at points of entry, and exit from vessels, e.g., at Pilot ladder and gangway.
** Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
Attending Vessels - The Sunoco Marcus Hook Facility safety measures prohibit any vessel, motor boat, tug or barge from coming alongside vessels at berth during loading or discharging operations, except by special permission of the Operations Shift Superintendent.
Emergency Towing Cable - All vessels moored at the Facility docks must have the eye of a steel hawser laid out to sea level and securely made fast, on board on the offshore box and quarter, to be of sufficient strength to enable tugs to take the vessel to a place of safety.
Anchors - Do not use anchors while moored to the dock.

APPENDIX VI - BLOWBACK PROCEDURE
PURPOSE/SCOPE
The purpose of this procedure is to clarify the process and steps to void the dock hoses after loading and discharging of ships and barges.
Blowing back the cargo hoses only applies to Liquefied Hazardous Gas Vessels. Vessels that transfer oil as cargoes will have the cargo hoses drained back to either the vessel, or to the dock containment area to be either removed or vacuumed out within 1 hour after disconnecting the cargo hose.
Once the Liquefied Hazardous Gas vessel completes loading or discharging, this is the process to be followed:
Liquefied Hazardous Gas Vessels
Blowing back the cargo hoses, after load/discharge, will be done with either Hot Gas from the vessel or nitrogen to evacuate the hose/hoses. This must be discussed and agreed upon during the “pre-load/discharge meeting” with the chief mate and/or captain.
Before any blowback operations commence the Dock Person In Charge of the transfer will de-pressurize the dock hose to the Facility flare system then contact the proper personnel advising them that there will be either Hot Gas or nitrogen introduced into the dock hoses and to monitor the facility flare system for excessive flaring.
Blowing back the cargo hoses with Hot Gas from the Vessel
a. After loading or discharge: Upon completion of discharge, the Dock Person In Charge will advise the chief mate to close the proper valves to isolate the cargo tanks on the vessel, and open the proper valves to de-pressurize the dock hose to the facility flare system then after the dock has been de-pressurized, introduce hot gas from the vessel into the dock hoses. The Dock Person In Charge will pinch back on the manual riser valve on the dock manifold to prevent hot gas from passing over the top of the liquid. The Dock Person In Charge will instruct the vessel personnel to start introducing hot gas into the dock hose at a pressure not to exceed 125# psig Maximum. The Dock Person In Charge will monitor the shore side bleeder valve on the product line for liquid. When satisfied that the dock hose is evacuated, the Dock Person In Charge will instruct the vessel personnel to stop the hot gas flow and secure their valve on the vessel. The Dock Person In Charge will then close the shore side riser valve and open the vent line to the flare system to depressurize the dock hose. Once the dock hose is depressurized, the hose can be removed from the vessel.
** Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
Blowing back the cargo hoses with nitrogen from the Dock
If hot gas from the vessel is unavailable, the dock hoses will need to be evacuated from the dock using nitrogen gas.
a. After loading or discharge: Upon completion of discharge, the Dock Person In Charge will advise the chief mate to close the proper valves to isolate the cargo tanks on the vessel. The Dock Person In Charge will de-pressurize the dock hose to the facility flare system. Once the dock hose is de-pressurized, the Dock Person In Charge will pinch back on the manual riser valve on the dock manifold to prevent nitrogen from passing over the top of the liquid. The Dock Person In Charge will then introduce nitrogen into the dock hose by opening the nitrogen connection on the spool on the vessel end of the dock hose. The Dock Person In Charge will then open the nitrogen cluster to displace the liquid from the dock hose toward the shore. The pressure from the nitrogen cluster is not to exceed 125#psig Maximum. The Dock Person In Charge will monitor the bleeder valve near the dock hose riser for liquid. When the Dock Person In Charge is satisfied that the dock hose is liquid free, the nitrogen will then be shut off, the shore side riser valve will be closed and the Vent Line to the flare system will be opened to relieve the pressure iin the dock hose. When the pressure is relieved, the dock hose will be disconnected from the vessel.
Currently there are no vessel transfers of Vacuum Gas Oil or #6 Fuel Oil at the Sunoco Marcus Hook Facility. If vessel transfers of these products commence, the dock hoses will be blown back using yard air in lieu of Hot Gas or nitrogen. The product from these hoses along with the yard air will be displaced back into the product line, and the flare system will not be necessary due to the low volatility of these products.
CAUTION: Nitrogen can cause rapid asphyxiation and death if released in a poorly ventilated area or confined space. Use extreme caution - Do not enter area until all Nitrogen has been dissipated.

APPENDIX VII Severe Weather
Background
In response to severe weather affecting marine operations, this policy is being established to streamline steps for each business unit to take preventative measures as anticipated. Severe weather happens years round in different forms. Although the hurricane is one type of weather commonly associated with severe weather, ice flows, winter storms, and high wind systems also affect operations.
· 2003 Barge broke free from Paulsboro dock when hit by ice
· 2003 Hurricane Xxxxxx came through Philadelphia
Notification of Severe Weather
When severe weather is forecasted, facilities should address this policy and take appropriate preventative measures at the docks. Marine Quality Assurance Services works very closely with the Captain of the Port’s office to ensure that safety issues are addressed and that information is disseminated.
Types of Severe Weather
This plan will address these types of weather:
1. Hurricane
2. Ice
3. Wind
Severe Weather Policies
1. Hurricane - Hurricanes rotate in a counterclockwise direction around an “eye.” Hurricanes have winds at least 74 miles per hour. There are on average six Atlantic hurricanes each year. The U.S. Coast Guard uses a four condition alert system (W,X,Y,Z). For the purpose of consistency, Sunoco will follow the same system.
Condition W (Whiskey) — these particular pre-cautions should be taken by Sunoco Facilities and vessels 72 hours before anticipated weather.
1) Review the contingency plans for heavy weather and for vessels breaking away from the dock.
2) Review the arrival and departure schedules for vessels and alert them that impending weather conditions may inhibit their transits.
3) Identify dangerous cargoes that will be transferred within the 72 hour period before and 24 hours after the storm.
** Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
4) Walkthrough the piers and dock areas to identify items needing to be tied down, pre-existing damages and issues that should be addressed before the storm.
5) Evaluate the safety of the berth for vessel mooring and alternate berths for vessels moor.
6) Continuously monitor VHF Channel 16.
Condition X (X-Ray) — these particular pre-cautions should be taken by Sunoco Facilities and vessels 48 hours before anticipated weather.
1) Determine what vessels will be allowed to tie-up to Sunoco docks during the storm. This information should be shared with the U.S. Coast Guard. (Vessels shall not be allowed to anchor at anchorages above Big Stone once Yankee is set.)
2) Identify special needs for any vessels tied up at Sunoco Facilities.
3) Inspect and identify emergency response equipment located on sight.
4) Design a plan for the suspension of cargo transfers. Vessels and facility needs should be addressed to include:
a. Labor
b. Pilots
c. Tug boats
d. Transit time to sea
5) Keep in contact with the Coast Guard to be informed of new requirements.
Condition Y (Yankee) — these particular pre-cautions should be taken by Sunoco Facilities and vessels 24 hours before anticipated weather.
1) Secure loose items which may be moved and become a hazard during high winds.
2) Secure hazardous materials stored on piers to prevent their spillage. If drums are being kept outside, band them together and do not stack more than two high.
a. If certain hazardous materials cannot be moved safely, alert the U.S. Coast Guard.
3) Make preparations to secure cargo operations and drain lines.
4) If vessels intend to leave the dock and anchor at Breakwater or Big Stone, or set sail for sea, they must do so before setting Zulu.
Condition Z (Zulu) — these particular pre-cautions should be taken by Sunoco Facilities and vessels 12 hours before anticipated weather.
1) Secure cargo transfers when directed by the Coast Guard
2) Drain lines including:
a. Hoses — empty and clean
b. Loading arms
3) Blank hoses off
4) Ensure pollution response equipment has been replaced if needed and keep stored and ready for use after the storm.

2. Ice — Ice generally forms in the northern areas of the Delaware River in early January and is gone by February. A normal season may have no ice threats to commercial shipping, however, a severe winter may occur on average once every seven to ten years. During these xxxxxxx, ice may disrupt operations both on the river and in the bay.
Indicators of severe ice may be as follows:
· 36 hours (minimum) of sustained below freezing air temperatures.
· Strong high pressure (>1020mb) of arctic air over the Ohio/Mississippi Valley.
· A long trough extended along the eastern shore.
· Minimum of a 4° F temperature offset below normal.
The U.S. Coast Guard uses a three condition alert system for ice (1, 2, and 3). For the purpose of consistency, Sunoco Facilities and vessels will follow the same system.
· Condition 3 — Readiness condition where ice may begin to form in the upper Delaware. The Sunoco Marcus Hook Facility and vessels shall take the appropriate precautions:
a. Facilities shall check daily for ice forming near the pier.
b. Vessels shall report ice formations to the Coast Guard via VHF Channel 16.
· Condition 2 — Alert that ice has formed in the upper Delaware. Sunoco Marcus Hook Facility and vessels shall take the appropriate precautions in addition to those above:
a. Monitor VHF Channel for the daily ice and safety broadcast.
b. Provide Pilots and Tug companies with ice conditions at the Facility, if ice is present.
c. Steel hull & Shaft horsepower restrictions may be imposed by the Coast Guard.
d. Watch for significant increase in ice flow sizes.
e. Notify the Coast Guard of navigable waterway hazards.
· Condition 1 — Emergency ice conditions exist where ice has largely covered the Delaware River/Bay and C&D Canal. The Sunoco Marcus Hook Facility and vessels shall take the appropriate precautions in addition to those above:
a. Convoy restrictions shall be imposed by the Coast Guard in addition to other restrictions.
b. Monitor the thickness of ice formations around piers and vessels daily.
The U.S. Coast Guard is responsible for icebreaking in the federal channel, but not at private docks. Ice breaking will only take place during daylight hours because of visibility and locating the ice. There are several commercial outfits that will do icebreaking upon request. These companies are:
· XxXxxxxxxx Towing 000-000-0000 (24 hrs)
· Xxxxx Towing 000-000-0000 (24 hrs)
· Vane Brother Tug 000-000-0000 (24 hrs)
· Wilmington Tug 000-000-0000 (24 hrs)
** Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
The Coast Guard will disseminate information regarding ice through Marine Safety Information Bulletins (MSIB) and on an automated phone system which is updated at 10:00 AM daily. This number is 000-000-0000. The U.S. Coast Guard receives information from a variety of sources where ice build-ups are occurring. These sources include the:
· Coast Guard District 5 Ice Reports - xxxx://xxx.xxxx.xxx/x0/xxx%0Xxxxxxx/xxxxx.xxx
· National Ice Center - xxxx://xxx.xxxxxx.xxxx.xxx/
· National Weather Service - xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxxx.xxx/xx/xxx/xxxxx.xxxx
3. Wind — Sunoco reserves the right to enforce this policy regardless of wind direction.
Winds gusting at or above 35 MPH (30 knots) — Supervisor’s approval and assist tugs (at vessel owner’s expense) are required for transfer operations to continue. To avoid shut down tugs must be called in advance of wind gusts reaching 35 MPH. Without assist tugs all transfers must be shut down and all valves closed.
Sustained winds over 35 MPH (30 knots) — In addition to the precautions taken above, shut down all transfer operations and close all valves.
Sustained winds over 40 MPH (35 knots) — In addition to the precautions taken above drain and disconnect all hoses/arms then lower them to the stored position.

FACILITY ACCESS AGREEMENT |

THIS FACILITY ACCESS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of the Effective Date between SUNOCO, INC. (R&M) (“Sunoco”) and the undersigned carrier (“Carrier”).
BACKGROUND
Carrier desires to gain truck access to one or more of Sunoco’s facilities (each, a “Sunoco Facility”) for the purpose of loading or unloading products, petrochemicals, equipment and/or materials (the “Products”). This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions under which Carrier will enter end conduct business at a Sunoco Facility.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Sunoco and Carrier agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. Certain terms capitalized in this Agreement are defined in Schedule 1 attached hereto.
2. Entry License; Term.
a. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Sunoco grants to Carrier a non-exclusive and temporary license to enter each Sunoco Facility designated by Sunoco for the sole purpose of loading or unloading Products to or from trucks at the times and in the manner designated by Sunoco.
b. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to deny or otherwise limit Sunoco’s right to refuse entry to, or to remove immediately from, a Sunoco Facility, the Carrier or any person or equipment, which Sunoco, in its sole discretion, believes poses a threat or hazard to the Sunoco Facility or its personnel or otherwise is objectionable to Sunoco in Sunoco’s sole and absolute discretion.
c. The license and rights granted by Sunoco under this Agreement commence on the Effective Date and terminate on such date that Sunoco revokes (whether in writing or orally) the permission for access granted hereunder. Carrier acknowledges and agrees that Carrier’s rights hereunder may be revoked by Sunoco at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, and for any reason, without prior notice. Notwithstanding such termination, all obligations or indemnities of, or assumed by, Carrier under this Agreement shall survive such termination.
3. Conditions to Access. As a condition to the access privileges granted to Carrier hereunder, Carrier agrees to comply (and to cause its Authorized Representatives to comply) with the following requirements:
a. Carrier shall equip any vehicle used for bottom loading petroleum products with an overfill protection system, compatible with the applicable Sunoco Facility system, and an operable brake interlock system, installed on the bottom loading valves and the vapor recovery lines. Carrier shall properly maintain and test both the overfill protection system and brake interlock system and, upon Sunoco’s request, certify they are functioning properly.
b. Carrier shall ensure that all cargo tanks are properly placarded and certified to meet DOT specifications for the Product(s) to be loaded or unloaded, and have been successfully tested in accordance with 49 CFR Part 180 and any state or local EPA (or similar state health, safety or environmental) test requirements.
4. Compliance. In the exercise of the rights granted in, and the performance of the obligations imposed by, this Agreement, Carrier shall: (i) comply with all Applicable Legal Requirements; (ii) comply with all

** Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
Sunoco Rules and Regulations; (iii) comply with the requirements of all insurance carriers having insurance then in effect as to which Carrier is a named insured and of which Carrier has advance written notice; and (iv) operate at all times within the Sunoco Facilities in a safe and prudent manner, in accordance with the purposes and capacities for which the Sunoco Facilities were designed, and in accordance with the highest standard industry practices. Carrier acknowledges and agrees that each Authorized Representative shall be deemed to be an agent of Carrier. Carrier shall be responsible for the acts of itself and those of its agents in ensuring compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.
5. Defense and Indemnity.
a. If Carrier or Carrier’s Authorized Representatives identify any conditions or circumstances within the Sunoco Facilities that appear to be unsafe, they will advise Sunoco immediately.
To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Legal Requirements, Carrier hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold harmless the Sunoco Indemnitees from and against any and all Claims (specifically including any Claims based upon Joint Negligence and Claims against any Sunoco Indemnitee arising out of the Sunoco Indemnitee’s own active or passive negligence), that are related in any way to, arising out of or result from Carrier’s presence at the Sunoco Facilities; provided, however, that Carrier’s obligations hereunder shall not apply to any Claims determined to be the result of the sole negligence of any Sunoco Indemnitee; and provided further, that Carrier’s obligations hereunder shall be prorated in die event and to the extent that it is ultimately determined by agreement of the parties, a court of competent jurisdiction or by finding of competent arbitrator(s), that Carrier’s comparative degree of negligence, fault or contribution in respect of a Claim is thirty percent (30%) or less, in which event, Carrier’s obligations shall be limited to its proportionate degree of negligence, fault or contribution.
b. Carrier’s obligations under Paragraph 5(a) above also shall extend to Claims by the employees, agents, subcontractors or Authorized Representatives of Carrier and shall not be limited by a limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for Carrier under any applicable workers’ compensation, disability benefit or other employee benefit law or similar statutes, the application of which hereby are expressly waived by Carrier. To the extent that this Agreement relates to activities of any kind performed in or attributable to Ohio, Carrier expressly and specifically waives its statutory and constitutional workers’ compensation immunity under Ohio law.
c. Carrier’s obligation to defend and indemnify shall be triggered by any Claim only where any one or more of the substantive allegations of such Claim may create a duty to indemnify under this Agreement. In such event, Carrier shall consult and cooperate with Sunoco regarding the response to and defense of any such Claim and, upon its acknowledgement in writing of its obligations to indemnify Sunoco (which acknowledgement must be given within a reasonable period of time after notice of a Claim), Carrier shall assume the defense of, or represent the interests of Sunoco in respect of, such Claim, which shall include the right to select legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Sunoco and to propose, accept or reject offers of settlement, all at the sole cost and expense of Carrier; provided, however, that Carrier shall not enter into a settlement agreement with respect to a Claim without the prior written consent of Sunoco. Notwithstanding the assumption of the defense by Carrier, Sunoco, at its own cost and expense, shall have the right to select counsel of its own choosing and participate in the defense of a Claim even where the defense is provided by Carrier. If Carrier fails to assume the defense of a Claim to which it is entitled under this Paragraph 5(c), Sunoco shall have the right, at Carrier’s expense, to contest the Claim or, with the prior written consent of Carrier not to be unreasonably withheld, to settle the Claim.
** Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
d. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Sunoco shall have the right to take any actions that Sunoco, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to repair damages or treat injuries caused by Carrier or its Authorized Representatives, including using Sunoco’s own employees or contractors, and Carrier solely shall be responsible for all costs incurred by Sunoco in connection therewith, including any clean-up costs, fines or penalties which might be assessed; provided, however, that if such costs are incurred by Sunoco with respect to a Claim covered by the second proviso of Paragraph 5(a) thereof, Carrier’s obligation under this subparagraph (d) for such amounts shall be limited to Carrier’s proportionate degree of negligence, fault or contribution.
6. Insurance. As a condition to and prior to any vehicle entering a Sunoco Facility, Carrier shall provide to Sunoco certificates of insurance issued by underwriters and insurance companies acceptable to Sunoco evidencing satisfactory insurance coverage of Carrier, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto.
7. Assignment. Carrier shall have no right to assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement. Any attempted assignment by Carrier of this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder shall be null and void and of no legal force or effect.
8. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered if given in person, when deposited in the mail if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid and properly addressed, or when transmitted if sent by fax (with hard copy following, sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid) and properly addressed to the other party as set forth on the signature page below. By notice to the other party in compliance with this Paragraph 8, either party to this Agreement may designate a new address for purposes of notice.
9. Enforcement. This Agreement (including any questions relating to the validity, interpretation or performance hereof or the rights and obligations of the parties hereto) and any actions arising out of the parties’ relationship hereunder shall be construed, governed by, and administered in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard or reference to its conflict of laws principles, and federal law to the extent applicable. Any litigation on contractual clauses governed by this Agreement shall be brought only in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
10. Miscellaneous.
a. This Agreement contains the full understanding between Sunoco and Carrier governing the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any and all oral or written agreements and understandings heretofore made between the parties relating to the subject matters herein. The Schedules attached to this Agreement are incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement as if fully rewritten herein. This Agreement may be amended only by written agreement executed by the parties.
b. Sunoco’s failure to enforce a right or remedy under this Agreement shall not impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of such right or remedy. No waiver by Sunoco of any provision of this Agreement shall have effect or be implied unless in writing and signed by Sunoco.
c. The unenforceability, invalidity, or illegality of any provision of this Agreement will not render the other provisions unenforceable, and to the extent that state and/or federal law limits any terms or conditions hereof, this Agreement shall be deemed so limited to comply with such law and any remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall be enforced to the fullest extent not prohibited by Applicable Legal Requirements.
d. Both parties shall act under this Agreement solely as independent contractors and not as agents of the other party. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted as creating an agency, partnership, co-partnership or joint venture relationship between the parties hereto.
