and egress will be agreed upon and provided to each party across the premises
of the other so as to allow each of the parties to travel across existing
roadways, truck yards and parking areas in order to get to and from their
respective facilities. Each of the parties shall cooperate with the other in
(a) seeing that property lines are properly drawn and in taking such other
action as is necessary in dividing the South Portland Facility in a way that
results in compliance to the maximum extent possible with existing zoning,
land use, environmental and similar laws and regulations, and (b) seeking
such permits, variances
2
and changes to such existing laws and regulations as are necessary to
accomplish such division.
2. Shared Facilities. Set forth in Exhibit B hereto is a list and
description of shared facilities and services to be provided by each of the
parties to the other in connection with the use by the parties of the
physical facilities consisting of the South Portland Facility following the
division of that Facility between the two parties. Unless otherwise provided
in Exhibit B the following shall apply with respect to all shared services
or facilities and all services provided pursuant to this agreement:
a) Exhibit C attached hereto sets forth facilities which remain
to be completed. National shall complete construction of the new VOC
incinerator on the Fairchild Site as provided in Exhibit B. To the extent
that such facilities are now under construction or otherwise incomplete,
National shall, at its sole cost and expense, complete the facilities in
accordance with existing plans and specs in a good and workmanlike manner, as
modified from time to time by agreement among the parties, so that such
facilities will be operational and functional for the purposes intended.
b) A party obligated to perform a service or provide a product
under this Agreement shall do so using standards of care consistent with and
the high quality of performance historically experienced at the South
Portland Facility, substantially as now being provided, and with such
quantities as the other party may reasonably request. All facilities to be
operated by either party shall be operated and maintained in a manner
consistent with the obligations of that party to perform hereunder. Unless
otherwise agreed, all costs and expenses of operating and maintaining a
facility shall be paid by the
3
party owning that facility, subject to allocations as herein provided or as
provided in the leases referred to in paragraph 3 hereof.
c) To the extent that (i) there are physical connections between
the two sites such as for piping, wiring, conduits and the like or (ii) there
is a physical flow from one site to the other of any substance such as water,
electricity, gas, stormwater, groundwater, or the like, each party grants to
the other an easement over, under and across its site for such purpose. Such
easements shall initially be located at the present location thereof but may
be relocated by the party whose site is affected thereby at such party's sole
cost and expense so long as such relocation does not interrupt or adversely
affect the service provided to the other party through such easement. The
easements required by this subparagraph are set forth in the Declaration of
Reciprocal Easements between Fairchild and National dated of even date
herewith, which Declaration of Easements shall control in the event of any
inconsistencies with this subparagraph.
d) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein or in the
Exhibits hereto, whenever a service or product is to be provided at a party's
cost of providing such service or product, all direct costs of providing that
service which standard cost accounting practices require to be included and
all depreciation costs shall be included in determining the cost, and such
costs shall be allocated to the recipient of the product or service based
upon actual usage. If the cost of providing the product or service to the
recipient cannot be separately determined, then the total cost to the
provider in supplying such product or service to itself and to the recipient
shall be allocated between the provider and the recipient based upon relative
usage between the two parties. Overhead
4
not directly associated with a service or product shall not be included in
the allocated costs.
e) Each party shall render to the other a monthly statement for
amounts due for shared services and facilities under this Agreement for the
previous month. Each party shall keep complete and accurate books and
records of account relating to the cost of shared facilities pursuant to this
Agreement and make such books and records available to the other party for
inspection upon reasonable request.
