Lessee shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority, but not from Lessor, such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Lessee in Lessee’s own right on account of any and all damage to the Relevant Assets, the Additional Improvements and/or Lessee’s business by reason of the condemnation, including loss of value of any unexpired portion of the Term, and for or on account of any cost or loss to which Lessee incurs in removing Lessee’s personal property, fixtures, leasehold improvements and equipment, including the Relevant Assets and the Additional Improvements, from the Premises.
(b) Should all or substantially all of the Relevant Assets, Additional Improvements and Shared Access Facilities be destroyed, then Lessee may within the 180-day period after such destruction terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the Lessor, which termination shall be effective on the termination date set forth in such notice, but in no event shall such effective date be later than the end of such 180-day period. In such event, (i) all Rent and other charges shall be prorated and adjusted to the date of such destruction and (ii) all proceeds of insurance applicable to the Relevant Assets and Additional Improvements shall be paid to and remain the property of Lessee.
The term “all or substantially all” shall mean any damage to the Relevant Assets, Additional Improvements and Shared Access Facilities by any cause whatsoever, such that the cost of repairing and restoring such assets is equal to or exceeds 75% of the total replacement cost thereof. Any other damage such that the cost of repair or restoration is less than 75% of the total replacement cost of the applicable portion of the Relevant Assets, Additional Improvements and Shared Access Facilities shall be deemed to be a “partial destruction.”
7.4 Insurance. Except as otherwise agreed by Lessor and Lessee, Lessor and Lessee shall, at all times, maintain or cause to be maintained insurance with respect to the Refinery Site, the Premises, the Relevant Assets and the Additional Improvements, as applicable, in accordance
- 13 -
with the requirements identified on Schedule 7.4 hereto, as such schedule may be modified by the Parties from time to time. Should either Party fail to effect the insurance called for herein, the other Party may, at its sole option, procure said insurance and pay the requisite premiums, in which event, such non-paying Party shall pay all sums so expended to such paying Party promptly upon demand, together with interest at the Post-Maturity Rate.

8.1 Assignment. This Lease may be assigned in connection with, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 21(d) of the Throughput Agreement, which such terms and conditions are incorporated herein by reference. In the event that the term of this Lease continues beyond the term of the Throughput Agreement, this Lease may not be assigned without Lessor’s written consent. Lessee may sublease all or a portion of the Premises with Lessor’s written consent, except in the case of a sublease to an Affiliate of Lessee, in which case no such consent shall be required; provided, however, Lessee shall remain liable for the performance of all of the obligations of Lessee hereunder. Any such sublease shall in all respects be subject to, and subordinate to, this Lease and to all of the terms and conditions hereof.
8.2 Release of Lessor.

8.3 Release of Lessee. Any assignment of this Lease by Lessee in accordance with Section 8.1 shall operate to terminate the liability of Lessee for all obligations under this Lease accruing after the date of any such assignment provided the assignee assumes all of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease accruing after the date of any such assignment.

(b) The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the other covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee, if such failure continues for a period of 90 days following written notice from Lessor; provided, however, if a reasonable time to cure such default would exceed 90 days, Lessee shall not be in default so long as Lessee begins to cure such default within 90 days of receiving written notice from Lessor and thereafter diligently pursues the completion of such cure within reasonable period of time (under the circumstances) following the receipt of such written notice from Lessor; or
- 14 -
(c) The occurrence of any Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Lessee.
9.2 Lessor’s Remedies.
(a) In the event of any such material default under or material breach of the terms of this Lease by Lessee, Lessor may, at Lessor’s option, at any time thereafter that such default or breach remains uncured, without further notice or demand, terminate this Lease and Lessee’s right to possession of the Premises and forthwith repossess the Premises by any lawful means in which event Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor; and any such action on the part of Lessor shall be in addition to any other remedy that may be available to Lessor for arrears of Rent or breach of contract, or otherwise, including the right of setoff.
(b) If, by the terms of this Lease, Lessee is required to do or perform any act or to pay any sum to a Third Party, and fails to do so, Lessor, after 30 days written notice to Lessee, without waiving any other right or remedy hereunder for such default, may, but shall not be obligated to, do or perform such act, at Lessee’s expense, or pay such sum for and on behalf of Lessee, and the amounts so expended by Lessor shall be repayable on demand, and bear interest from the date expended by Lessor until paid at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) an interest rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 2% or (ii) the maximum non-usurious rate of interest permitted to be charged Lessee under Applicable Law (the “Post-Maturity Rate”). Past due Rent and any other past due payments required hereunder shall bear interest from the date of delinquency until paid at the Post-Maturity Rate.

Lessee may, at Lessee’s option, deduct any such amounts so expended by Lessee from the Rent and any other amounts owed hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement and any such action on the
- 15 -
part of Lessee shall be in addition to any other remedy that may be available to Lessee for default or breach of contract, or otherwise, including the right of setoff.

INDEMNITY
INDEMNITY
10.1 Indemnification by Lessor. Lessor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lessee, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents, contractors, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Lessee Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of (a) any failure to perform any covenant or agreement made or undertaken by Lessor in this Lease, but expressly excluding any Liabilties arising pursuant to Lessor’s noncompliance with any Environmental Law or the release of any Hazardous Substance to the extent such Liabilities are addressed pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement, or (b) the exercise of Lessor’s rights and obligations under Section 2.2(b); provided, however, Lessor shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Lessee Indemnified Parties for any such Liabilities under clauses (a) or (b) to the extent resulting from or arising out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of any of the Lessee Indemnified Parties. To the extent that the Lessee Indemnified Parties in fact receive full indemnification payments from Lessor under the indemnification provisions of this Section 10.1, Lessor shall be subrogated to the Lessee Indemnified Parties’ rights with respect to the transaction or event requiring or giving rise to such indemnity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor’s liability to the Lessee Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall be net of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Lessee Indemnified Party from any Third Party with respect to or on account of the damage or injury which is the subject of the indemnification claim. Lessee agrees that it shall, and shall cause the other Lessee Indemnified Parties to, (i) use all commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the collection of all insurance proceeds to which any of the Lessee Indemnified Parties are entitled with respect to or on account of any such damage or injury, (ii) notify Lessor of all potential claims against any Third Party for any such insurance proceeds, and (iii) keep Lessor fully informed of the efforts of the Lessee Indemnified Parties in pursuing collection of such insurance proceeds.
10.2 Indemnification by Lessee. Lessee agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lessor, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents, contractors, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Lessor Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of (a) any failure to perform any covenant or agreement made or undertaken by Lessee in this Lease, but expressly excluding any Liabilities arising pursuant to Lessee’s noncompliance with any Environmental Law or the release of any Hazardous Substance to the extent such Liabilities are addressed pursuant to the indemnification obligations of the Omnibus Agreement, or (b) the exercise of Lessee’s rights under Section 2.2(a); provided, however, Lessee shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Lessor Indemnified Parties for any such Liabilities under clauses (a) or (b) to the extent resulting from or arising out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of any of the Lessor Indemnified Parties. To the extent that the Lessor Indemnified Parties in fact receive full indemnification payments from Lessee under the indemnification provisions of this Section 10.2, Lessee shall be subrogated to the Lessor Indemnified Parties’ rights with respect to the transaction or event requiring or giving rise to such indemnity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee’s liability to the Lessor Indemnified
- 16 -
Parties pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall be net of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Lessor Indemnified Party from any Third Party with respect to or on account of the damage or injury which is the subject of the indemnification claim. Lessor agrees that it shall, and shall cause the other Lessor Indemnified Parties to, (i) use all commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the collection of all insurance proceeds to which any of the Lessor Indemnified Parties are entitled with respect to or on account of any such damage or injury, (ii) notify Lessee of all potential claims against any Third Party for any such insurance proceeds, and (iii) keep Lessee fully informed of the efforts of the Lessor Indemnified Parties in pursuing collection of such insurance proceeds.
10.3 Express Negligence. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITIES ARE INTENDED TO BE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST THE PARTIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXPRESS TERMS AND SCOPE THEREOF NOTWITHSTANDING ANY EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE RULE OR ANY SIMILAR DIRECTIVE THAT WOULD PROHIBIT OR OTHERWISE LIMIT INDEMNITIES BECAUSE OF THE SOLE, CONCURRENT, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR FAULT OF ANY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES (EXCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF SECTION 10.1 AND SECTION 10.2, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT).
10.4 Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither Party shall be liable or responsible to the other Party or such other Party’s affiliated Persons for any consequential, punitive, special or exemplary damages, or for loss of profits or revenues (collectively referred to as “Special Damages”) incurred by such Party or its affiliated Persons that arise out of or relate to this Lease, regardless of whether any such claim arises under or results from contract, tort, or strict liability; provided that the foregoing limitation is not intended and shall not affect Special Damages imposed in favor Third Parties.
10.5 Matters Involving a Third Party. If any Third Party shall notify either Lessor or Lessee with respect to any action or claim by a Third Party (a “Third-Party Claim”) that may give rise to a right to claim for indemnification against the other Party under Section 10.1 or Section 10.2, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that failure to give timely notice shall not affect the right to indemnification to the extent such failure to give timely notice is not prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party.
10.6 Survival. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, the provisions of this Article X shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
10.7 Ancillary Agreements. The Ancillary Agreements contain additional indemnity provisions. The indemnities contained in this Article X are in addition to and not in lieu of the indemnity provisions contained in the Ancillary Agreements. Any indemnification obligation of Lessor to the Lessee Indemnified Parties on the one hand, or Lessee to the Lessor Indemnified Parties on the other hand, pursuant to this Article X shall be reduced by an amount equal to any indemnification recovery by such Indemnified Parties pursuant to the other Ancillary Agreements to the extent that such other indemnification recovery arises out of the same event or circumstance giving rise to the indemnification obligation of Lessor or Lessee, respectively, hereunder.

ARTICLE XI
GENERAL PROVISIONS
GENERAL PROVISIONS
11.1 Estoppel Certificates. Lessee and Lessor shall, at any time and from time to time upon not less than 20 days prior written request from the other Party, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a statement in writing (a) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and the date to which Rent and other charges are paid, (b) acknowledging that there are not, to the executing Party’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of the other Party hereunder (or specifying such defaults, if any are claimed) and (c) containing such other matters customarily requested by lenders. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser of the Premises or the leasehold evidenced by this Lease or any lender with respect to the Premises or the leasehold evidenced by this Lease. Nothing in this Section 11.1 shall be construed to waive the conditions elsewhere contained in this Lease applicable to assignment or subletting of the Premises by Lessee.
11.2 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Lease will be interpreted in such manner as to be valid and effective under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Lease or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance will be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision hereof, and the Parties will negotiate in good faith with a view to substitute for such provision a suitable and equitable solution in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.
11.3 Arbitration Provision. Any and all Disputes shall be resolved through the use of binding arbitration using three arbitrators, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as supplemented to the extent necessary to determine any procedural appeal questions by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code). If there is any inconsistency between this Section 11.3 and the Commercial Arbitration Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of this Section 11.3 will control the rights and obligations of the Parties. Arbitration must be initiated within the time limits set forth in this Agreement, or if no such limits apply, then within a reasonable time or the time period allowed by the applicable statute of limitations. Arbitration may be initiated by a Party (“Claimant”) serving written notice on the other Party (“Respondent”) that the Claimant elects to refer the Dispute to binding arbitration. Claimant’s notice initiating binding arbitration must identify the arbitrator Claimant has appointed. The Respondent shall respond to Claimant within 30 days after receipt of Claimant’s notice, identifying the arbitrator Respondent has appointed. If the Respondent fails for any reason to name an arbitrator within the 30-day period, Claimant shall petition the American Arbitration Association for appointment of an arbitrator for Respondent’s account. The two arbitrators so chosen shall select a third arbitrator within 30 days after the second arbitrator has been appointed. The Claimant will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it, and the Respondent will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it. The costs of petitioning for the appointment of an arbitrator, if any, shall be paid by Respondent. The Claimant and Respondent will each pay one-half of the compensation and expenses of the third arbitrator. All
- 18 -
arbitrators must (a) be neutral parties who have never been officers, directors or employees of Lessor, Lessee or any of their Affiliates and (b) have not less than seven years experience in the energy industry. The hearing will be conducted in Houston, Texas and commence within 30 days after the selection of the third arbitrator. Lessor, Lessee and the arbitrators shall proceed diligently and in good faith in order that the award may be made as promptly as possible. Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the decision of the arbitrators will be binding on and non-appealable by the Parties hereto. The arbitrators shall have no right to grant or award Special Damages.
11.4 Entire Agreement. This Lease and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the Parties in connection therewith.
11.5 Modification; Waiver. This Lease may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by the Parties. Any of the terms and conditions of this Lease may be waived in writing at any time by the Party entitled to the benefits thereof. No waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease, or any breach thereof, will be effective unless in writing signed by a duly authorized individual on behalf of the Party against which the waiver is sought to be enforced. No waiver of any term or condition or of any breach of this Lease will be deemed or will constitute a waiver of any other term or condition or of any later breach (whether or not similar), nor will such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided
11.6 Removed.
11.7 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications hereunder will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given: (a) if by transmission by facsimile or hand delivery, when delivered; (b) if mailed via the official governmental mail system, five Business Days after mailing, provided that said notice is sent first class, postage pre-paid, via certified or registered mail, with a return receipt requested; (c) if mailed by an internationally recognized overnight express mail service such as FedEx, UPS, or DHL Worldwide, one Business Day after deposit therewith is prepaid; or (d) if by e-mail, one Business Day after delivery with receipt is confirmed.

11.8 No Partnership. The relationship between Lessor and Lessee at all times shall remain solely that of landlord and tenant and shall not be deemed a partnership or joint venture.
11.9 No Third Party Beneficiaries. It is expressly understood that the provisions of this Lease do not impart enforceable rights in anyone who is not a Party or successor or permitted assignee of a Party.
11.10 Waiver of Landlord’s Lien. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Lessor hereby expressly waives any and all liens (constitutional, statutory, contractual or otherwise) upon Lessee’s personal property now or hereafter installed or placed in, on or about the Premises or the Shared Access Facilities, which otherwise might exist to secure payment of the sums herein provided to be paid by Lessee to Lessor.
11.11 Further Assurances. In connection with this Lease and all transactions contemplated by this Lease, each signatory Party hereto agrees to execute and deliver such reasonable additional documents and instruments and to perform such additional acts as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, carry out and perform all of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease and all such transactions.
11.12 Recording. Upon the request of Lessor or Lessee, Lessor and Lessee shall execute, acknowledge, deliver and record a “short form” memorandum of this Lease in the form of Exhibit
- 20 -
C attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes. Promptly upon request by Lessor at any time following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, however such termination may be brought about, Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lessor an instrument, in recordable form, evidencing the termination of this Lease and the release by Lessee of all of Lessee’s right, title and interest in and to the Premises existing under and by virtue of this Lease (the “Lessee Release”) and Lessee grants Lessor an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of executing the Lessee Release in the name of the Lessee. This Section 11.12 shall survive the termination of this Lease.
11.13 Binding Effect. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors, sub lessees and assigns. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to waive the conditions elsewhere contained in this Lease applicable to assignment or subletting of the Premises by the Parties.
11.14 Choice of Law. This Lease shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of Arkansas, excluding any conflicts-of-law rule or principle that might refer the construction or interpretation of this Lease to the laws of another state.
11.15 Warranty of Peaceful Possession. Lessor covenants and warrants that Lessee, upon paying the Rent reserved hereunder and observing and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Lessee’s part to be observed and performed hereunder, may, subject to the terms of this Lease and the Ancillary Agreements, peaceably and quietly have, hold, occupy, use and enjoy the Premises.
11.16 Force Majeure. In the event that either Party is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by a Force Majeure event to perform its obligations under this Lease other than the obligations under Section 11.15, then upon the delivery by such Party of written notice and full particulars of the Force Majeure event within a reasonable time after the occurrence of the Force Majeure event relied on, the obligations of the Parties, to the extent they are affected by the Force Majeure event, shall be suspended for the duration of any inability so caused. The cause of the Force Majeure event shall so far as possible be remedied with all reasonable dispatch, except that neither 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. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, inability of a Party to make payments when due, be profitable or secure funds, arrange bank loans or other financing, obtain credit or have adequate capacity or production (other than for reasons of Force Majeure) shall not be regarded as events of Force Majeure.
11.17 Survival. All obligations of Lessor and Lessee that shall have accrued under this Lease prior to the expiration or earlier termination hereof shall survive such expiration or termination to the extent the same remain unsatisfied as of the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Lessor and Lessee further expressly agree that all provisions of this Lease which contemplate performance after the expiration or earlier termination hereof shall survive such expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
11.18 AS IS, WHERE IS. SUBJECT TO ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS OF LESSOR UNDER THIS LEASE AND THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS, INCLUDING THOSE SET
- 21 -
FORTH IN ARTICLE V, ARTICLE X AND SECTION 11.15 HEREOF, LESSEE HEREBY ACCEPTS THE PREMISES “AS IS”, “WHERE IS”, AND “WITH ALL FAULTS”, AND LESSOR MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, UNDER THIS LEASE AS TO THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE PREMISES, INCLUDING THE PREMISES’ MERCHANTABILITY, HABITABILITY, CONDITION, FITNESS, OR SUITABILITY FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE.
11.19 Relocation of Assets. Lessor shall have the right to move Lessor’s assets located on the Refinery Site, so long as it is not reasonably foreseeable that such relocation will adversely affect Lessee’s business operations on the Premises and the operation of the Relevant Assets and Additional Improvements. If such relocation of Lessor’s assets requires relocation of any of the Relevant Assets or Additional Improvements, then such relocation of the Relevant Assets or Additional Improvements shall be at Lessor’s sole cost and expense. Lessee shall have the right to move Relevant Assets or Additional Improvements located on the Premises, so long as it is not reasonably foreseeable that such relocation will adversely affect Lessor’s business operations on the Refinery Site. If such relocation of the Relevant Assets or Additional Improvements requires relocation of any of Lessor’s assets, then such relocation of Lessor’s assets shall be at Lessee’s sole cost and expense.
11.20 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf)) for the convenience of the Parties hereto, each of which counterparts will be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together will constitute one and the same agreement.
11.21 Subordination; Leasehold Mortgage. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the lien, operation and effect of each mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease and/or other similar instrument covering any or all of the Premises, and each renewal, modification or extension thereof (each of which referred to as a “Mortgage”), all automatically and without the necessity of any further action by either Party hereto; provided, however, that Lessor delivers to Lessee a customary subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement, executed by Lessor and the beneficiary under any such Mortgage (referred to as a “Mortgagee”). In the event the Mortgagee or a purchaser at foreclosure succeeds to the interest of Lessor hereunder through foreclosure or otherwise, such Mortgagee or a purchaser shall honor this Lease and not disturb Lessee in its possession of the Premises except upon Lessee’s default and such Mortgagee or purchaser and Lessee shall enter into an agreement consistent with the foregoing, in substance reasonably acceptable to Lessee. In addition, Lessee shall attorn to any such Mortgagee and agrees that such Mortgagee shall not be liable to Lessee for any defaults by Lessor under this Lease or for any other event occurring prior to such Mortgagee’s succeeding to the interest of Lessor hereunder. The Parties shall, within 10 days after request by the other Party or any Mortgagee, execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instrument as is reasonably requested by such other Party or any Mortgagee and is acceptable to the Party from whom such execution, acknowledgment and delivery was requested, to acknowledge the rights of the parties described in this Section 11.21 and providing such other information and certifications as is reasonably requested. Any Mortgagee may at any time subordinate the lien of its Mortgage to the operation and effect of this Lease without obtaining Lessee’s consent thereto, in which event this Lease shall be deemed to be senior to such Mortgage
- 22 -
without regard to their respective dates of execution, delivery and/or recordation among the land records of the jurisdiction in which the Premises is located. Lessor consents to the grant by Lessee of a mortgage or deed of trust, or other proper instrument (a “Leasehold Mortgage”), as security for any debt, in favor of an Third Party lender, on Lessee’s interest in this Lease, and Lessee’s interest in any improvements or equipment located on the Premises. Any transfer of the Lease or the Lessee’s interest in the Premises to the leasehold mortgagee or its nominee through exercise of the power of sale or similar remedy under the Leasehold Mortgage shall be deemed to be consented to by Lessor. Lessor shall accept performance by such leasehold mortgagee of this Lease with the same force and effect as though timely performed by Lessee. Upon Lessee’s request, Lessor shall execute an agreement in favor of such leasehold mortgagee consenting to a Leasehold Mortgage, provided that such consent is in a form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. Upon written request of any Mortgagee, each Party shall provide such Mortgagee with copies of any notices provided by such Party to the other Party hereunder.
