the Parties agree
to negotiate in good faith, subject to the provisions in this Agreement, an extension of the term
of the Lease of at least five (5) years.
For the first fourteen months of this extension of the Agreement commencing May 1, 2009, the
rental payable by Delek to Plains under Section 4 of the Lease shall be as follows:
MONTHLY RENTAL:
Volumes up to and including Daily Average of [* * *] barrels per day:

Days in the month x the Daily Average volume delivered in excess of [* * *] barrels
per day x [* * *] x the current rate per barrel.

based on the FERC Oil Pipeline Index using the calculation formula as described in the above
paragraphs.
The above rental schedule includes normal operation, inspection and maintenance performed by
Plains, including routine leak repair, cleanup, right of way issues and elective pipe replacement.

required that Plains estimates will cost in excess of [* * *], or if any pipeline integrity upgrade
is required due to regulatory compliance or significant pipe integrity loss during the term of this
Agreement, Plains and Delek shall negotiate in good faith to compensate Plains for all of the cost
in excess of [* * *] of such repairs or added costs. It is the intent of the Parties that any such
form of compensation shall be amortized over a period of not less than five (5) years, and that the
pipeline lease term shall be extended to cover such amortization. It is the intent of the Parties
that Plains shall not have an obligation to continue to operate the pipeline at a financial loss
due to unanticipated pipeline integrity issues beyond its control. If during the twenty-four (24)
month term extension, a pipeline integrity upgrade is required in the sole discretion of Plains due
to regulatory compliance or a significant pipeline integrity loss, Plains shall have the right to
immediately terminate this Agreement notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this
Agreement. In such event, neither Party shall have any other rights or obligations to each other
subsequent to such termination except that Delek shall pay Plains for all crude oil delivered prior
to termination of this Agreement.
Any unaffiliated third party entity which acquires substantially all of the assets of either
Party to this Agreement shall be entitled to the rights and shall be subject to the obligations of
its predecessor in title under this agreement. Each of the Parties may, without relieving itself
of its obligations under this Agreements, assign any of its rights here under to a company or
companies with which it is
affiliated, but otherwise no assignment of this Agreement or any of the rights or obligations
hereunder shall be made unless there first shall have been obtained the consent thereto in writing
of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

representatives of each Party.
