The cost of the Independent Inspector’s services shall be shared equally between the Parties. Seller and Buyer may have a representative present at the time of title transfer and Seller and Buyer shall always provide the other Party with free access to ship and shore facilities.

All quantities of delivered Product shall be corrected for temperature to sixty degrees Fahrenheit (60 °F) in accordance with API Chapter 11.5 March 2009 ASTM D-1250-08, Table 6A or 6B, as applicable (in each case, as revised at the time of measurement). All Product delivered by Seller shall conform to the applicable Product specifications.

Mission & VMSC Supply Agreement

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

11.2	Official Quantity. In order of preference, the Official Quantity of Product sold hereunder will be determined by:

(a)

Meters – which have been proven and certified per API/EI procedures and properly working.

(b)

Static Tank Gauges - If meters are not proven and certified per API/EI procedures, or not properly working, then the Official Quantity shall be determined by static shore tank measurements as determined by a mutually agreed Independent Inspector. If shore tanks are active, in unsuitable condition for custody transfer, or if any other condition exists which may affect the accuracy of measurements (including but not limited to the following: tanks that have been stripped empty, liquid level in the bottom (critical) zone or floating-roof in the critical zone, liquid levels below datum plate, excessive water, snow or product on the floating roof, non-perforated standpipe per API/EI standards, tank leaning or bulging, solidified material, incrustation, or other unsuitable conditions) then vessel measurements will prevail as the Official Quantity as outlined below.

(c)

Vessel – The Vessel volume,(with free water deducted), with applicable VEF will apply. An applicable Load VEF will apply when vessel receives and an applicable Discharge VEF will apply when vessel delivers. If the vessel delivered / received volume is less than 75% of vessel’s capacity, the then vessel volume without VEF will apply (unless a valid partial VEF is available and proven).

11.3	Lightering. If the custody transfer occurs at a lightering, then the Official Quantity shall be calculated using daughter vessel measurements (as measured alongside a stationary berth) less OBQ and adjusted for an applicable VEF.

11.4

Line Verification. Line verification shall be performed in accordance with API/EI guidelines and witnessed by the Independent Inspector. Any volume variances less than API measurement tolerances (i.e. +/- one quarter of an inch measurement of all involved vessel and shore tanks) shall be deemed as measurement tolerance and shall not be added back to the line verification volume. If no line verification is performed, then the official volumes will revert to vessel measurements as outlined in Section 10.2(c) above.

11.5	Official Analyses. The quality of Products hereunder shall be determined by a volumetric composite of the static shore tanks before loading. For Lightering, a volumetric composite of the daughter vessel shall be used for the Official Quality.

Laytime

12.1

The allowed laytime for any Vessel nominated under this Agreement shall be 36 hours, with a minimum of fifty percent of such allocated laytime allocated for unloading the Cargo at the Delivery Port. If VMSC's volume of Cargo is less than the total volume of cargo carried on such Vessel, allowed laytime shall be allocated pro rata by dividing the volume of VMSC's Cargo by the total volume of cargo carried in such Vessel, which shall be determined by the Xxxx of Lading). Laytime shall commence 6 hours after NOR has been tendered or when the Vessel is all fast alongside berth, whichever is occurs first and laytime shall cease when hoses are disconnected as per the Charter Party Agreement.
