(B) [ - - - ].
7.2 Determination of Quality.
(A) The quality and BTU content of the LSFO Delivered by Pipeline Delivery to HECO shall be determined on the basis of a volumetric weighted average composite of samples drawn from Chevron’s issuing tank(s) at the Refinery in such a manner as to be representative of each individual Pipeline Delivery (“Tank Final Sample”).
(B) The Tank Final Sample shall be divided into a minimum of three (3) parts as follows:
(1) One part shall be provided to the Refinery’s laboratory for analysis to determine BTU content per barrel and quality determination.
(2) One part shall be provided to HECO’s laboratory for analysis to determine BTU content per barrel and for the purpose of verifying Chevron’s determinations.
(3) At least one part shall be sealed and retained by the Independent Inspector for a period of not less than three (3) months.
(C) Chevron agrees to provide HECO and the Independent Inspector each with a copy of Chevron’s Certificate of Quality representing the Tank Final Sample and shall make commercially reasonable efforts to provide such quality documentation no later than the day of the completion of the Pipeline Delivery. If the completed Certificate of Quality is not available the day of the completion of the Pipeline Delivery, Chevron will advise HECO and the Independent Inspector, by the day of the completion of the Pipeline Delivery, the final determination of API gravity, flash point, sulfur content and sediment and water representing the Tank Final Sample.
(D) The official BTU content determination shall be based upon an average of Chevron’s and HECO’s laboratory analyses, provided that such analyses fall within the ASTM reproducibility standard (currently 0.4 MJ/kg which the parties shall deem to be equivalent to a fixed standard of 60,000 BTU per barrel) for Test D 240. Chevron and HECO will make commercially reasonable efforts to evaluate the BTU content of the Tank Final Sample and exchange results within three (3) Business Days.

(E) [ - - - ].
7.3 Measurement of Quantity.
(A) Quantities of LSFO [ - - - ] shipped between the facilities by pipeline including quantities of same Delivered by Pipeline Delivery hereunder shall be determined at the time of the Pipeline Delivery by gauging Chevron’s tanks before and after pumping under the supervision of the Independent Inspector. Quantities of LSFO [ - - - ] pumped, sold or Delivered by Chevron and purchased or received by HECO 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 G.S.V., U.S. barrels at 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
(B) Both HECO and Chevron agree that if measurement of Chevron’s tanks is, in the opinion of the Independent Inspector, considered to have been rendered inaccurate for any reason including, but not limited to operational constraints, physical loss of LSFO [ - - - ] or inadvertent transfer of LSFO [ - - - ] within Chevron’s facilities, then the quantity of LSFO [ - - - ] may be determined by gauging HECO’s tanks before and after pumping under the supervision of the Independent Inspector.
7.4 Disputes Regarding Quality.
(A) If either Chevron or HECO has reason to believe that the quality of LSFO [ - - - ] stated for a particular Pipeline Delivery or Marine Delivery per Article 7 or Article 8 is incorrect, that party shall within sixty (60) days after the issuance date of the complete Certificate of Quality, present the other party with documents supporting such dispute and the parties will confer on the causes for the discrepancy and shall proceed to correct such causes and adjust the quality, if justified, for the
Pipeline Delivery or Marine Delivery in question. In the event of an unresolved difference between Chevron and HECO, the sealed part of the relevant sample in the possession of the Independent Inspector shall be provided to an independent testing laboratory for an official determination, which shall be final. Chevron and HECO shall share equally the cost for such independent laboratory determination.
(B) If the quality of the LSFO received by HECO from Chevron fails to conform to specifications in Article 4 of this Contract, both Chevron and HECO shall minimize, if possible, the impact of any quality problem on HECO by specification waiver if the use of the LSFO will not cause harm to HECO, or by Chevron Delivering higher quality LSFO in a timely manner to produce a specification quality blend in HECO’s receiving and storage tank(s) containing the non-specification LSFO. If all such, and similar, efforts fail to resolve the quality problem, then HECO may return non-specification LSFO to Chevron, in which case Chevron shall replace the non-specification LSFO in a timely manner. All costs and expenses, including HECO’s handling costs incurred in returning and replacing non-specification LSFO, shall be paid by Chevron.
7.5 Independent Inspection. Chevron and HECO will make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all measurements taken and determinations made with respect to the provisions of this Contract shall be under the supervision of an Independent Inspector, and the costs thereof shall be shared equally by Chevron and HECO.
