10. Berthing and Vacating - Small Dock: 1,125 bbl per hour
11. Ship Shoal Pipeline: 2,250 bbl per hour
c. CALCULATION RULES:
1. In no case shall the standard rate used to calculate a
Transportation Capacity reduction exceed a) 1,688 bbl per
hour during the first three (3) calendar months, or b) 2,250
bbl per hour for the remaining term.
2. In the event that two or more of the facilities set forth
above are experiencing Service capacity reductions at the
same time the highest standard rate of such facilities shall
be used to calculate a Transportation Capacity reduction,
except as set forth in Calculation Rule 3.
3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 4, if a) both the Large Dock and the Small Dock are
unable to receive Marine Vessels during the same period of
time, b) both the 8" pipeline and the 6" pipeline (after the
first three (3) calendar months) are unable to move Product
during the same period of time, c) two Marine Vessels are
experiencing a Transportation Capacity reduction while
Berthing and Vacating, or d) two or more tanks are
experiencing a Transportation Capacity reduction during the
same period of time, then the sum of the standard rates for
such facilities shall be used to calculate a Transportation
Capacity reduction.
4. Should Xxxxxxxx exceed two (2) hours to Berth and Vacate a
Marine Vessel then the Transportation Capacity reduction
shall be calculated using the standard rate for Berthing and
Vacating set forth above and applied as a Transportation
Capacity reduction.
5. Should Xxxxxxxx Berth and Vacate a Marine Vessel in less
than one and a half (1.5) hours, then an off-set shall be
calculated using the standard rate for Berthing and Vacating
set forth above and applied against any Transportation
Capacity reductions set forth in this Section 4. Any such
Berthing and Vacating off-set shall be limited to no more
than 270,000 bbls in any six (6) month period.
CONVERSION EXAMPLES:
o If the Storage capacity of Tank 8000 is reduced for three (3) hours,
the amount of Transportation Capacity reduction shall be calculated as
1,227 bbl (3 hours x 409 bbl per hour).
o If the Storage capacity of Tank 8000 was reduced for six (6) hours and
the Large Dock was unable to receive Marine Vessels for three (3)
hours during the same time period, the total amount of Transportation
Capacity reduction would be 4,602 bbl calculated in the following
manner:
(a) The Storage capacity of Tank 8000 is reduced for three (3)
hours alone, therefore, the amount of Transportation Capacity
reduction during this three (3) hour time period shall be
calculated as 1,227 bbl (3 hours x 409 bbl per hour).
(b) Because the Storage capacity of Tank 8000 and the ability of
the Large Dock to receive Marine Vessels were both reduced
during the same three (3) time period, the rate used to
calculate the Transportation Capacity reduction would be the
higher of the rates for the two (2) facilities, therefore,
the amount of Transportation Capacity reduction for this
three (3) hour period of time is 3,375 (3 hours x 1,125 bbl
per hour).
o If both the Large Dock and the Small Dock are unable to receive Marine
Vessels during the same three (3) hour time period, the total amount
of Transportation Capacity reduction would be 6,750 bbl (3 hours x
2,250 bbl per hour).
3
o If Xxxxxxxx requires three (3) hours to Berth and Vacate a
Marine Vessel the total amount of Transportation Capacity
reduction would be 1,125 bbl (1 hour x 1,125 bbl per hour).
o If Xxxxxxxx should Berth and Vacate a Marine Vessel in one (1)
hour the total amount of Transportation Capacity offset shall
be 563 bbl (0.5 hours x 1,125).
5. TRUE UP. As set forth below, beginning with the month this Agreement is
executed, the parties shall make periodic adjustments to the payment set forth
in Section 8 below, based on the amount, if any, of Transportation Capacity
reductions which exceed the standard set forth in Section 6 below. After having
performed any such periodic true up and calculation of applicable liquidated
damages, the parties shall begin a new Transportation Capacity reduction
calculation the following period. The parties shall perform a true up at the end
of each six (6) calendar month period.
6. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. At the time of first six (6) calendar month true-up
period, should the sum of all Transportation Capacity reduction amounts
(including all applicable off-sets) calculated during such period exceed 958,125
bbl, then Xxxxxxxx shall credit Customer for Services Fees payments at the rate
of $0.2386 per barrel for such Transportation Capacity reduction amount in
excess of 958,125 bbl. At the time of any subsequent six (6) calendar month
true-up, should the sum of all Transportation Capacity reduction amounts
(including all applicable off-sets) calculated during such period exceed
1,095,000 bbl, then Xxxxxxxx shall credit Customer for Services Fees payments at
the rate of $0.2045 per barrel for such Transportation Capacity reduction amount
in excess of 1,095,000 bbl. All such liquidated damages shall be subject to the
annual escalation set forth in Section 17. The credit provided by this Section
will be Xxxxxxxx' sole liability and Customer's sole remedy for Xxxxxxxx'
failure to meet the service performance standards specified in Sections 3 and 4
of this Agreement; however, this limitation shall not apply to loss of Product.
7. CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES. Customer shall be responsible for nominating,
scheduling and effecting both Deliveries and Receipts. The parties expressly
recognize that the actual amount of Services provided during any time period is
determined in part by the timing and amounts of such Deliveries and Receipts.
8. SERVICES FEES. Customer shall pay $0.2386 per bbl of Adjusted Transportation
Capacity during the first six (6) calendar months, and $0.2045 per barrel of
Adjusted Transportation Capacity during the remaining term, subject to a maximum
payment of $4,031,583 in any one (1) year period, subject to the adjustments set
forth in Section 5, above, and in accordance with the payment terms set forth in
Section 17, including annual escalation.
9. SERVICES OPTION FEES. Xxxxxxxx shall not offer any Surplus Transportation
Capacity to any third party under any terms and conditions without first having
offered such Surplus Transportation Capacity to Customer under terms and
conditions no less favorable than those set forth herein. In addition to the
Services Fees set forth in Section 8 above, if at any time Xxxxxxxx should have
available and/or create Surplus Transportation Capacity, and Customer should
elect to Transport using some amount of such Surplus Transportation Capacity,
then for any barrels transported by Customer in using such Surplus
Transportation Capacity, Customer shall have the right to use any such Surplus
Transportation Capacity at rates not to exceed the Services Option Fees set
forth below, subject to the annual escalation set forth in Section 17.
a. 60,001 bbl - 65,000 bbl: $0.0200 per excess bbl.
b. 65,001 bbl - 70,000 bbl: $0.0300 per excess bbl.
c. 70,001 bbl and greater: $0.0500 per excess bbl.

Xxxxxxxx' obligation to make any delivery of Product to Customer will be
satisfied by delivering the volume of Product initially Delivered by Customer to
Terminal less the Loss Allowance set forth in this Agreement. Tank heel volume
will be put in place by Customer upon initial Delivery and be made available to
Customer within thirty (30) days of termination of this Agreement. In addition,
Customer will retain sufficient Product in the Terminal, in Xxxxxxxx' reasonable
opinion, to maintain minimum levels in Storage Capacity and pipelines, taking
into account the needs of pump suction and any floating roof tanks utilized.
13. QUALITY. Xxxxxxxx shall have the right to reject Delivery or conditionally
accept Delivery of any Product if Xxxxxxxx shall reasonably determine that such
Product contains chemicals or contaminants that may harm the Terminal. If any
product tendered for Delivery to the Terminal by Customer fails to meet this
specification, Xxxxxxxx may, at Xxxxxxxx' option, (a) reject the Product and
refuse to take Delivery; or (b) take Delivery of the Product and store it until

In no event will one party be liable to the other party unless such a written
notice together with all supporting documentation available is delivered within
sixty (60) days after the facts upon which the claim or dispute is based first
became known, or reasonably should have first become known, to espousing such
claim or dispute.
24. COMMISSIONS AND GIFTS. No director, officer, employee, agent, or other
representative of either party will give or receive any commission, fee, rebate,
gift or entertainment of significant value or cost in connection with this
Agreement. Further, neither party will give any commission, fee, rebate, gift or
entertainment of significant value or cost to any government official or
employee in connection with this Agreement.
25. CONFIDENTIALITY. The parties understand and agree that the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, all documents referred to herein and
communications between the parties regarding this Agreement (collectively
"Confidential Information") are confidential as between Xxxxxxxx and Customer
and will not, without the other party's prior written consent, be disclosed by a
party to a third party, other than a parties' representatives or agents who have
a need to know. In the event that either party is requested or becomes legally
compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, request for information or
documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose
any Confidential Information, it will give the other party prompt notice thereof
so that a protective order or other appropriate remedy may be sought and/or
waiver of compliance with the provisions of this Agreement granted. The party
requesting a protective order will bear all costs related thereto. In the event
that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the party who has
been requested or legally compelled to disclose Confidential Information agrees
that it will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which is
legally required and will exercise its reasonable efforts to obtain reliable
assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the Confidential
Information which is disclosed in such manner.
26. INSURANCE. The rates quoted herein do not include any insurance on the
Product covered hereunder while it is the possession of Xxxxxxxx, it being
clearly understood and agreed that such property insurance, if any be desired by
Customer, will be carried by Customer at its own expense. If Customer does carry
any insurance on the property, Customer's insurance carrier will endorse the
policies to waive all rights of subrogation against Xxxxxxxx and Customer will
provide Xxxxxxxx with evidence of such waiver of subrogation, either in the form
of the endorsement or a certificate of insurance. Both parties will obtain and
maintain in full force and effect commercial general liability coverage which
will include, but not be limited to, bodily injury, property damage, blanket
contractual liability and independent contractor liability, sudden and
accidental pollution and explosion, collapse and underground
6
coverage with limits of at least $2MM per occurrence and with insurance
companies reasonably satisfactory to the other party as respects all duties and
obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Each party will also maintain in full
force and effect workers' compensation insurance complying with the laws of the
state or states having jurisdiction over each employee, whether or not Customer
is required by such laws to maintain such insurance, and employer's liability
coverage with limits of at least $1MM each accident, $1MM disease each employee
and $1MM disease policy limit. For any work performed offshore or on navigable
waterways, this insurance will be endorsed to provide full Maritime liability
coverage, including Longshoreman's and Harbor Worker's Act, Outer Continental
Shelf Land Act, Xxxxx Act, Death on High Seas Act and In Rem. Owners and/or
charters of Marine Vessels or barges will obtain and maintain in full force and
effect hull and machinery insurance, including collision and tower's liability,
equal to the full value of the Marine Vessel. Protection and indemnity
insurance, including coverage for chartered vessels, members of crew, In Rem,
contractual liability, excess collision, and tower's liability on Ocean P&I
Clause SP-23 (revised January 1956) Form, or equivalent with a combined single
limit of $5,000,000 or that required by law, whichever is greater. All policies
carried by each party will require their carriers to endorse the policies to
waive subrogation rights in favor of the other party and, except for workers'
compensation. To the extent of the indemnity obligations specified in this
Agreement, each party will provide to the other party certificates showing
evidence of such coverages as of the effective date of this Agreement. Each
party will maintain all such policies current. The mere purchase and existence
of insurance does not reduce or release either party from any liability incurred
and/or assumed within the scope of this Agreement. Customer will cause all
Marine Vessels, truck carriers and rail car carriers which are chartered,
contracted, or nominated hereunder by Customer to comply with Law and to carry
all liability and pollution insurance required by Law.
27. LOSS ALLOWANCE. For the first twelve (12) months, Xxxxxxxx will be allowed,
for actual losses incurred (as substantiated by Xxxxxxxx measurement records), a
Loss Allowance no greater than 0.5% by volume of the quantity of Product
Transported by Xxxxxxxx on any day during the term of this Agreement. For the
remaining term of the Agreement, the Loss Allowance for any month shall be 120%
of the average of the actual monthly loss amounts incurred over a twelve (12)
month period, including the current month (excluding any monthly loss amounts
greater than +/- one (1) standard deviation from the mean of the distribution of
such twelve (12) monthly actual loss amounts). Customer agrees that Xxxxxxxx
will not be liable for any such Loss Allowance. Xxxxxxxx shall reimburse
Customer for actual losses in excess of such Loss Allowance monthly at a price
equal to the monthly average of the PLATTS LLS posting at St. Xxxxx for the
month in which such loss shall occur per the terms as set forth in Section 17.
28. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE
OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.
29. ASSIGNMENT. Neither party will assign or transfer this Agreement in whole or
in part, or any of the rights or obligations contained herein (including the
right to the storage of Product), without the prior written consent of the other
party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and any purported
assignment in violation of this provision will be void. Without limitation of
the foregoing, consent to assignment may be conditioned upon the acceptance by
the assignee of additional terms and conditions related to the creditworthiness
of the assignee. Consent to assignment by one party will not relieve the other
party from any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement, unless
otherwise specifically stated in the written consent. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, either party may assign this Agreement to an Affiliate without such
consent. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will bind and inure to the
benefit of the successors, assigns and transferees of the parties hereof.

30. TERM AND TERMINATION. The term of this Agreement shall be for a period of
nine (9) years from the date this Agreement is executed. If a Catastrophic
Event shall occur, this Agreement shall be suspended immediately and the
obligations of Xxxxxxxx to provide Services and Customer to provide payment
under this Agreement shall be suspended. The term of this Agreement shall
not be affected by any such suspension.
Within forty (40) days after the occurrence of a Catastrophic Event, Xxxxxxxx
shall propose a plan to fully restore Transportation Capacity to no less than
the maximum capacity in effect immediately prior to the Catastrophic Event,
unless Xxxxxxxx can demonstrate, and the parties mutually agree, that such a
plan is impossible or impractical. If the parties mutually agree within fifteen
(15) days that it is impossible or impractical for Xxxxxxxx to fully restore
Transportation Capacity this Agreement will terminate immediately. Any
disagreements as to Xxxxxxxx' ability to fully restore Transportation Capacity
within fifteen (15) days will be settled by the dispute resolution procedures
set forth in Section 32 of this Agreement.
The plan submitted by Xxxxxxxx shall include, but may not be limited to a) the
date certain that Xxxxxxxx shall fully restore Transportation Capacity to no
less than the maximum capacity in effect immediately prior to the Catastrophic
Event, b) a proposal to enable Customer to operate its business without any loss
of profit or other damage during the period in which the Terminal is operating
at reduced capacity, c) the amount of any remaining Transportation Capacity at
the Terminal, and d) any other applicable terms and conditions which Customer
may require to evaluate Xxxxxxxx' plan.
Customer shall evaluate Xxxxxxxx' plan in good faith to determine whether it
will indeed protect Customer from loss of profit or other damage to its business
while Transportation Capacity is being restored. Customer's evaluation shall
consider, but shall not be limited to a) any incremental costs incurred to
transact business at another terminal, b) any change in product market value
related to transacting business at another terminal and c) the
7
competitive impact related to conducting business at another terminal. The
parties shall have fifteen (15) days to negotiate an interim agreement based on
Xxxxxxxx' plan.
If the parties do not reach an interim agreement within such fifteen (15) days,
this Agreement shall terminate immediately; however, if either party believes
that the other party has not negotiated the interim agreement in good faith,
then that party may appeal to the Dispute Resolution procedures established in
Section 32 of this Agreement. If the parties mutually agree to and execute such
an interim agreement, the terms of such interim agreement shall prevail. Should
Xxxxxxxx not restore Transportation Capacity by the date agreed to in the
interim agreement, the interim agreement shall immediately terminate and
Customer shall, at that time, determine, in its sole discretion whether this
Agreement will continue in effect or contemporaneously terminate as well.
Alternatively, should Xxxxxxxx restore Transportation Capacity by the date
agreed to in the interim agreement, this Agreement shall immediately be
reinstated.
In any event, the term of this Agreement shall not be affected by any suspension
under this Section 31.
32. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. The parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any
dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement promptly by negotiation
between executives who have authority to settle the controversy and who are at a
higher level of management than the persons with direct responsibility for
administration of this contract. Any party may give the other party written
notice of any dispute not resolved in the normal course of business. Within
fifteen (15) days after delivery of the notice, the receiving party shall submit
to the other a written response. The notice and the response shall include (a) a
statement of each party's position and a summary of arguments supporting that
position, and (b) the name and title of the executive who will represent that
party and of any other person who will accompany the executive. Within thirty
(30) days after delivery of the disputing party's notice, the executives of both
parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as
often as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the dispute. All
reasonable requests for information made by one party to the other will be
honored. If the matter has not been resolved by these persons within forty-five
(45) days of the disputing party's notice, the dispute shall be referred to more
senior executives of both parties who have authority to settle the dispute and
who shall likewise meet to attempt to resolve the dispute. If the dispute has
not been resolved by negotiation within forty-five (45) days of the disputing
party's notice, or if the parties failed to meet within twenty (20) days, the
parties shall endeavor to settle the dispute by mediation under the then current
CPR Mediation Procedure. Unless otherwise agreed, the parties will select a
mediator from the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals. All negotiations
pursuant to this clause are confidential and shall be treated as compromise and
settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence.
33. CONCLUDING PROVISIONS. This Agreement is made as an accommodation to
Customer, and in no event xxxx Xxxxxxxx' services be deemed to be those of a
public utility or common carrier. If any action is taken or threatened by any
governmental authority to declare the Terminal, Xxxxxxxx or Customer a public
utility or common carrier, Xxxxxxxx may by written notice terminate this
Agreement on the effective date of such action. Xxxxxxxx will own all
improvements to the Terminal, including those for which Customer has made a
financial contribution. The word "including" does not limit the preceding words
or terms. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable to any
extent, the remaining provisions will be enforced to the maximum extent allowed
by law. All section titles and headings in this Agreement are merely for
convenience, and will not limit in any way the interpretation of this Agreement.
No provisions of this Agreement will be construed against or interpreted to the
disadvantage of any party by reason of such party's having drafted such
provision. Except as otherwise provided herein, the remedies provided in this
Agreement are cumulative, not exclusive, and in addition to all other remedies
in either party's favor at law, in equity or otherwise. No waiver of any breach
by either party of any terms, conditions, or obligations will be deemed a waiver
of subsequent breaches of the same or other nature. This Agreement will not be
deemed to be for the benefit of any third party, or give any other party any
right to enforce its provisions and neither this Agreement nor the parties'
performance hereunder will be deemed to have created a joint venture or
partnership between the parties. This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement
between the parties. There are no promises, terms, conditions, representations,
warranties, or obligations other than those contained herein. Except as
otherwise provided herein, no variation or modification hereof will be deemed
valid unless it is in writing and signed by both parties.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties have by their duly authorized representatives
signed this Agreement.
