Force Majeure
7.1 Force Majeure.
(a) In the event that a Party (the “Force Majeure Party”) is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by a Force Majeure event to perform its obligations under this Agreement, then such Party shall within a reasonable time after the occurrence of such event of Force Majeure deliver to the other Party written notice (a “Force Majeure Notice”) including full particulars of the Force Majeure event, and the obligations of the Parties, to the extent they are affected by the Force Majeure event, will be suspended for the duration of any inability so caused. The Force Majeure Party shall identify in such Force Majeure Notice the approximate length of time that it believes in good faith such Force Majeure event shall continue (the “Force Majeure Period”). Customer shall be required to pay any amounts accrued and due under this Agreement at the time of the start of the Force Majeure event. The Force Majeure Party shall remedy the cause of the Force Majeure event so far as possible with all reasonable efforts, except that no Party shall be compelled to resolve any strikes, lockouts or other industrial or labor disputes other than as it shall determine to be in its best interests or to receive or deliver any Product at any facility other than the Tank.
(b) If the Force Majeure Party advises in any Force Majeure Notice that it reasonably believes in good faith that the Force Majeure Period will continue for more than 12 consecutive months, then at any time after the delivery of such Force Majeure Notice, either Party may deliver to the other Party a notice of termination (a “Termination Notice”), which Termination Notice will become effective not earlier than 12 months after the delivery of the Termination Notice; provided, however, that such Termination Notice will be deemed cancelled and of no effect if the Force Majeure Period ends before the Termination Notice becomes effective, and, upon the cancellation of any Termination Notice, the Parties’ respective obligations hereunder will resume as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

Article 11.
Other Provisions
11.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflicts-of-law rule or principle that might refer the construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the laws of another state. Subject to Section 11.3, the Parties agree to the exclusive venue of the federal or state courts located in the State of Delaware for the adjudication of all disputes arising out of this Agreement.
11.2 EXCLUSIVENESS OF REMEDIES. WHEREVER A REMEDY IS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH REMEDY SHALL BE EXCLUSIVE AND THE LIABILITY OF THE APPLICABLE PARTY SHALL BE LIMITED AS SET FORTH THEREIN, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES IN CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY) OR OTHERWISE.
11.3 Arbitration. Any and all Arbitrable Disputes (except to the extent injunctive relief is sought) shall be resolved through the use of binding arbitration using, in the case of an Arbitrable Dispute involving a dispute of an amount equal to or greater than $1,000,000 or non-monetary relief, three arbitrators, and in the case of an Arbitrable Dispute involving a dispute of an amount less than $1,000,000, one arbitrator, in each case 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 Claimant elects to refer the Arbitrable Dispute to binding arbitration. Claimant’s notice initiating binding arbitration must identify the arbitrator Claimant has appointed. Respondent shall respond to Claimant within 30 days after receipt of Claimant’s notice, identifying
16
the arbitrator Respondent has appointed. If 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, and, in the event of an Arbitrable Dispute involving a dispute of an amount less than $1,000,000, such third arbitrator shall act as the sole arbitrator, and the sole role of the first two arbitrators shall be to appoint such third arbitrator. Claimant will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it, and 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. Claimant and Respondent will each pay one-half of the compensation and expenses of the third arbitrator. All arbitrators must (a) be neutral parties who have never been officers, directors or employees of Operator, Customer, or any of their Affiliates and (b) have not less than seven years’ experience in the energy industry. The hearing will be conducted in the State of Delaware or the Wilmington, Delaware Metropolitan area and commence within 30 days after the selection of the third arbitrator. Customer, Operator 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. Notwithstanding anything herein the contrary, Customer may not dispute any amounts with respect to an invoice delivered in accordance with Section 5.2 that Customer has not objected to within 120 days of receipt thereof. No default shall occur hereunder if the subject matter underlying such potential default is the subject matter of any dispute that is pending resolution or arbitration under this Section 11.3 until such time that such dispute is resolved in accordance with this Section 11.3.
11.4 Counterparts. This Agreement 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.
11.5 Binding on Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns.
11.7 Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by the Parties. The failure of a Party hereunder to assert a right or enforce an obligation of the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or obligation. Any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement 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 Agreement, 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 Agreement 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.
11.8 No Partnership. The Parties shall not be deemed to be partners or joint venturers by virtue of this Agreement or any discussions or actions related to the Project.
17
11.9 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be valid and effective under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement 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.
11.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. It is expressly understood that the provisions of this Agreement do not impart enforceable rights in anyone who is not a Party, a successor or permitted assignee of a Party, a Manager Party or an Owner Party.
11.11 Time is of the Essence. This Time is of the essence with respect to all aspects of each Party’s performance of any obligations under this Agreement.
11.12 Further Assurances. This In connection with this Agreement and all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each signatory Party hereto agrees to execute and deliver such 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 Agreement and all such transactions.
11.13 Survival. This All audit rights, payment, confidentiality and indemnification obligations under this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms.
11.14 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PERFORMANCE OR FAILURE TO PERFORM OF ANY OBLIGATION HEREUNDER.
