(a)All samples, measurements and determinations drawn, taken and made, respectively, under this Section 6.4 shall be for Fuel in Seller’s tank prior to Pipeline Delivery, however the quality determination for MATS Fuel Deliveries will be based on […]. All such samples shall be considered Final Sample and will be drawn by Seller unless Hawaiian Electric elects to have samples drawn under the supervision of the Independent Inspector. Seller and Hawaiian Electric will share equally the cost of the Independent Inspector

(b)The quality and BTU Content of the Fuel Delivered shall be determined on the basis of a volumetric weighted average composite of samples drawn from Seller’s issuing tank(s) at Seller’s Refinery for Pipeline Deliveries, or the vessel’s composite sample for Marine Deliveries, in such manner as to be representative of each individual Delivery (“Final Sample”).

(c)The Final Sample shall be divided into a minimum of three (3) parts as follows:


1.	One part shall be provided to Seller’s laboratory for analysis to determine quality including BTU Content per barrel.


2.	One part shall be provided to Hawaiian Electric for the purpose of verifying Seller’s determinations.


3.	At least one part shall be sealed and provided to the Independent Inspector to be retained for a period of at least three (3) months.

(d)Seller agrees to provide Hawaiian Electric with a copy of Seller’s Certificate of Quality of Fuel Final Sample, and shall provide this prior to shipment of the Fuel. Seller agrees to provide API gravity to Independent Inspector prior to the shipment of the Fuel.

(e)Hawaiian Electric shall have the right to perform laboratory analyses in order to verify the results of Seller’s laboratory analyses; provided however, that such verification analyses shall be performed in a timely manner.

(f)In order to eliminate or minimize the volume of […].

(g)If Hawaiian Electric elects not to commence Pipeline Delivery operations by displacing Seller’s Pipeline Fill with Hawaiian Electric’s Fuel, or if such displacement is operationally unfeasible or impractical for any other cause, Seller and Hawaiian Electric recognize that the Fuel received by Hawaiian Electric in a Pipeline Delivery may be a blend which includes some amount of Seller’s Pipeline Fill (“Pipeline Blend”). In such instance, the specification of Seller’s Pipeline Fill shall be determined by Seller on the basis of Seller’s samples representative of the contents of the storage tank from which Seller’s Pipeline Fill was issued. Seller agrees to provide Hawaiian Electric, Hawaiian Electric’s representative and the Independent Inspector with a copy of its laboratory analysis of the quality of Seller’s Pipeline Fill prior to commencing the Pipeline Delivery.

(h)If the pipeline fill between Seller and Hawaiian Electric does not meet the specifications listed in Exhibit A, Seller agrees to perform a pre-shipment computer blend simulation representing the quality of Seller’s Fuel from the issuing tank(s) as indicated in the relevant Certificates of Quality or preliminary laboratory analyses of the Final Samples and the quality of Seller’s Pipeline Fill as indicated in the relevant laboratory analyses. The computer blend simulation shall provide preliminary confirmation of the Pipeline Blend’s conformance with the limits for API gravity, viscosity and percent by weight sulfur content specified in Article IV. Seller agrees to provide Hawaiian Electric or Hawaiian Electric’s representative and the Independent Inspector a copy of the computer blend simulation results prior to shipment. Seller agrees that under no circumstances shall it make a Delivery of Fuel to Hawaiian Electric should the computer blend simulation or any other information available to Seller indicate a quality problem with the Fuel or Pipeline Blend, without Hawaiian Electric’s express written permission.

(i)The quantity of Fuel in a Pipeline Delivery shall be determined at the time of each Pipeline Delivery by gauging Seller’s issuing tank(s) immediately before and after pumping under the supervision of the Independent Inspector. Should Hawaiian Electric elect to perform a Reverse Line Displacement, the total quantity of Fuel Delivered to Hawaiian Electric shall be reduced by reference to the rise in Seller’s tank(s) receiving Seller’s Pipeline Fill, determined by gauging such tank(s) immediately before and after pipeline displacement under the supervision of the Independent Inspector. Both Hawaiian Electric and Seller agree that if measurement of Seller’s tank(s) is, in the opinion of the Independent Inspector, considered to have been rendered inaccurate for reasons including, but not limited to, operational constraints or inadvertent transfer of Fuel or of Seller’s Pipeline Fill within Seller’s facilities, then the quantity of Fuel or Seller’s Pipeline Fill may be determined by gauging Hawaiian Electric’s receiving tank(s) before and after pumping under the supervision of the Independent Inspector

(j)Quantities of Fuel sold and Delivered by Seller and purchased and received by Hawaiian Electric hereunder shall be calculated in accordance with the current measurement standards adopted by industry, ASTM, API and other recognized standard-setting bodies as are applicable in the opinion of the Independent Inspector and shall be expressed in U.S. barrels at 60 DF.

If the difference between Seller’s and Hawaiian Electric’s determinations of BTU Content

should fall outside the ASTM reproducibility standard for ASTM test D-240, the sealed sample in the possession of the Independent Inspector shall be provided to an independent laboratory for an official determination, which shall be binding upon the Parties. Seller and Hawaiian Electric shall share equally the costs of independent tests and determinations.

If Seller or Hawaiian Electric has reason to believe that the quality of Fuel stated for a specific Delivery fails to conform to the Specifications in Article IV or the fuel specifications in Exhibit A, that Party shall within five (5) days after the later of the date of the completed Certificate of Quality or the date of the final determination of BTU Content, present the other Party with documents supporting such determination and the Parties will confer, in good faith, on the causes for the discrepancy and shall proceed to correct such causes and adjust the quality, if justified, for the Delivery in question. In the event of an unresolved difference between Seller and Hawaiian Electric, the sealed part of the representative sample in the possession of the Independent Inspector shall be provided to an independent laboratory for an official determination, which shall be final. Seller and Hawaiian Electric shall share equally the cost for such independent laboratory determination.

If the quality of the Fuel received by Hawaiian Electric fails to conform to the quality Specifications, both Hawaiian Electric and Seller shall attempt to minimize the impact of any quality problem.

(a) As used in this Contract, the term “Force Majeure” means any cause or event reasonably beyond the control of a Party, including an act of God, hurricane, adverse weather, flood, volcanic eruption, fire, earthquake or tsunami; acts of war, hostilities (whether declared or undeclared), civil commotion, embargoes, blockades, terrorism, sabotage or acts of the public enemy; strike or other labor difficulty (whomever’s employees are involved), even though the strike or other labor difficulty could be settled by acceding to the demands of a labor group; fire, breakdown, disruption explosion, or destruction of Seller’s vessel, terminal, container or of Hawaiian Electric’s receiving facility(ies) or any significant part thereof; accidents at or closing of mooring facilities, terminals and storage facilities (including BPTF), docks, ports, pipelines, harbors, railroads or other navigational or transportation mechanisms; navigational accidents or maritime peril, loss or shortage of supply, production, manufacturing, distribution, refining, transportation, delivery facilities, receiving facilities, equipment, labor, material, power generation or power distribution; compliance, voluntary or involuntary, with a direction or request of any Governmental Authority or person purporting to act with Government Authority, including any such direction or request limiting Hawaiian Electric’s recovery of all fuel costs incurred under this Contract; or any other cause reasonably beyond the control of a Party, whether similar or dissimilar to those above and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, which, by the exercise of reasonable due diligence and effort, such Party could not have been able to avoid or overcome. Except to the extent arising out of or relating to the foregoing, for purposes of this definition, the following events or circumstances will not constitute a Force Majeure event:


1.	a failure of performance of any Person other than one of the Parties (except to the extent that such failure otherwise would constitute a Force Majeure but for this exclusion);


2.	any market, financial or economic conditions that are unfavorable for either Party;


3.	the ability of a Party to obtain better economic terms from a third party or the inability to economically perform its obligations under any transaction undertaken pursuant to this Contract; or

described in Section 12.4 and Section 12.5 (which shall instead be addressed in accordance with Section 12.4 or Section 12.5, as applicable).

(b) The Party claiming Force Majeure agrees to give the other Party prompt written notice of an act or event of Force Majeure, specifying the anticipated effect and duration of any suspension or reduction of Deliveries of Fuel arising therefrom. The Party claiming Force Majeure shall use due diligence to cure any act or event of Force Majeure, and shall give the other Party prompt notice when it expects the act or event of Force Majeure to terminate.

Seller’s financial records, including its system of internal controls over financial reporting; provided that Hawaiian Electric shall be responsible for all costs associated with the foregoing, including but not limited to Seller’s reasonable internal costs.

(b)If there is a change in circumstances during the Term that would trigger consolidation of Seller’s finances on to Hawaiian Electric’s balance sheet, and such consolidation is not attributable to Hawaiian Electric’s fault, then the Parties will take all commercially reasonable steps, including modification of the Contract, to eliminate the consolidation, while preserving the economic “benefit of the bargain” to both

Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any reason, at any time during the Term, Hawaiian Electric (and/or Hawaiian Electric’s Affiliates or HEI) in their good faith analysis and sole discretion are required to consolidate Seller into its financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, then Hawaiian Electric may take any and all action necessary to eliminate consolidation, including without limitation, by immediately terminating this Contract without fault or liability.

(c)If there is a change in circumstances during the Term that would trigger the treatment of this Contract as a capital lease under FASB ASC 840, and such treatment is not attributable to Hawaiian Electric’s fault, then the Parties will take all commercially reasonable steps, including modification of the Contract, to eliminate the capital lease treatment, while preserving the economic “benefit of the bargain” to both Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any reason, at any time during the Term, Hawaiian Electric (and/or Hawaiian Electric’s Affiliates, or HEI) in their good faith analysis and sole discretion are required to treat this Contract as a capital lease under FASB ASC 840, then Hawaiian Electric may take any and all action necessary to eliminate this capital lease treatment, including without limitation, by immediately terminating this Contract without fault or liability.

If either Hawaiian Electric or HEI, in the exercise of their respective reasonable judgments, concludes that consolidation or financial reporting with respect to Seller and/or this Contract is necessary, Hawaiian Electric and HEI each shall have the right to disclose such of the Information as Hawaiian Electric or HEI, as applicable, reasonably determines is necessary to satisfy applicable disclosure and reporting or other requirements and give Seller prompt written notice thereof (in advance to the extent practicable under the circumstances). If Hawaiian Electric or HEI disclose Information pursuant to the preceding sentence, Hawaiian Electric and HEI shall, without limitation to the generality of the preceding sentence, have the right to disclose Information to the Commission and the Consumer Advocate in connection with the Commission’s rate making activities for Hawaiian Electric and other HEI affiliated entities, provided that, if the scope or content of the Information to be disclosed to the Commission exceeds or is more detailed than that disclosed pursuant to the preceding sentence, such Information will not be disclosed until the Commission first issues a protective order to protect the confidentiality of such Information. Neither Hawaiian Electric nor HEI shall use the Information for any purpose other than as permitted under this Section 17.10.

(e)In circumstances other than those addressed in the immediately preceding paragraph, if any Recipient becomes legally compelled under applicable Law or by legal process (e.g., deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose all or a portion of the Information, such Recipient shall undertake reasonable efforts to provide Seller with prompt notice of such legal requirement prior to disclosure so that Seller may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the terms of this Section 17.10. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or if Seller waives compliance with the provisions of this Section 17.10, Recipient shall furnish only that portion of the Information which it is legally required to so furnish and shall use reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to any disclosed material.

(f)The obligation of nondisclosure and restricted use imposed on each Recipient under this Section 17.10 shall not extend to any portion(s) of the Information which (a) was known to such Recipient prior to receipt, or (b) without the fault of such Recipient is available or becomes available to the general public, or (c) is received by such Recipient from a third party not bound by an obligation or duty of confidentiality.

If any action is taken or threatened by any Governmental Authority to declare the usage herein granted to either Party a public use, then and in that event, the Parties shall enter into good faith negotiations to restructure and restate the Contract provided that such restructuring and restatement does not increase the charges that Hawaiian Electric is obligated to pay hereunder. In the event that the Parties are unable to agree to any such restructuring within forty (40) days after the commencement of negotiations, either Party will have the right to terminate this Contract effective ninety (90) days’ after giving written notice of termination to the other Party.
