Further, Company shall cause all such designated contractors, carriers and customers to comply with all applicable Terminal rules and regulations and Carrier shall make copies of such rules and regulations available to Company and its designated carriers and customers at both Terminals.

Article X. Storage Variations

Section 10.01 Storage Variations.

Each Month, Carrier shall determine the physical inventory of each Commodity in storage and calculate the losses (“Storage Losses”) or gains (“Storage Gains”) of a type normally incurred in connection with handling Commodities while in storage (Storage Losses and Storage Gains together, “Storage Variations”) for each Commodity and for each Terminal, provided that for purposes of this Agreement, Storage Gains do not include gains that result from vapor recovery or butane blending. Monthly Storage Variations for each Commodity shall be prorated to all Persons using the storage for that Commodity based upon their respective percentages of Terminal receipts of that Commodity for that Month (such proration being such Person’s “Proportionate Share”). Company’s inventory of each such individual Commodity in storage at a Terminal shall then be adjusted each Month (increased or decreased) to reflect its Proportionate Share of the Storage Variation. For clarity, this Article X relates only to the losses or gains of a type normally incurred in connection with handling Commodities while in storage and is an exception to and not a modification of the general provisions of Section 20.02.

Section 10.02 Loss Settlement.

Separately for each Commodity and with respect to each Month, Carrier shall pay Company an amount (a “Loss Settlement”) equal to:

(a)

(i) the average of the midpoint postings published by Argus for the relevant Commodity at the nearest benchmark location on each publication day during the relevant Month, multiplied by (ii) a volume equal to the net Storage Loss of the relevant Commodity during that Month (taking into account Storage Losses and Storage Gains at both Terminals and offsetting any Storage Gain of the relevant Commodity at one Terminal against any Storage Loss at the other Terminal) in excess of (A) 0.5% for ethanol and biodiesel, or (B) 0.25% for any other Commodity; minus

(b)

The amount of any Monthly statement, if not paid by the due date, shall bear interest at the rate of the lesser of 1.5% per Month or the maximum rate allowed by Law for each Month or portion of a Month thereafter during which such amount remains unpaid. All payments shall be made to Carrier via wire transfer to an account specified by Carrier from time to time. Any bank charges incurred by Company in remitting funds via wire transfer shall be for Company’s account. Company shall identify by number the Carrier Monthly statements being paid in the wire transfer comments. Acceptance by Carrier of any payment from Company for any charge or service after termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not be deemed a renewal of this Agreement or a waiver by Carrier of any default by Company hereunder.

(d)

If Company reasonably disputes any Monthly statement, in whole or in part, Company shall promptly notify Carrier in writing of the dispute and shall pay the undisputed portion according to the terms of this Section 11.02, and shall promptly seek to resolve the dispute including, if necessary, by arbitration as provided in Section 24.01. An arbitral panel may award reasonable interest on any unpaid amount determined to have been due to Carrier but withheld in good faith.

Section 11.03 Liens.

Section 13.02 Terminal Receipts and Withdrawals.

(a)

All Commodities (except ethanol and biodiesel) delivered to trucks at racks will be determined by calibrated custody transfer grade meters. Carrier will provide bills of lading indicating the net volume delivered into each truck including language required by the appropriate Governmental Authority to Company.

(b)	All Commodities (except ethanol and biodiesel) received from or delivered to pipeline will be determined by calibrated custody transfer grade meters.

(c)

All Commodities (except ethanol and biodiesel) received from or delivered to barges will be determined by an IIC using the measurement methods below and will be the basis for preparing relevant shipping documents except in cases of fraud or manifest error. In the absence of an IIC, Carrier’s measurements will be final and binding except in cases of fraud or manifest error. The volumes received from or delivered to barges shall be determined by one of the following measurement methods in the following order of preference:

(i)

Custody transfer grade meter(s).

(ii)

Shore tank(s) measurements (static tank), as determined by the IIC.

(iii)

In the event of an active (versus static) shore tank during any part of the transfer, or if IIC determines shore quantities to be inaccurate or not representative of the cargo transferred, quantity shall be based on the volumes as determined from measurements of the vessel before and after the transfer with application of a vessel experience factor, if determined valid and applicable by the IIC.

(iv)

In the event the IIC determines that the above custody transfer measurement points are inaccurate or not representative of the volume(s) of cargo transferred, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to agree upon a new basis for custody transfer volumes.

Arbitration Procedure

Either Party may initiate dispute resolution procedures by sending a Notice to the other Party specifically stating the complaining Party’s Claim and by initiating binding arbitration in accordance with the Center for Public Resources Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration of Business Disputes, by three arbitrators who shall be neutral, independent, and generally knowledgeable about the type of transaction which gave rise to the dispute. The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, provided that the arbitrators shall include in their report/award a list of findings, with supporting evidentiary references, upon which they have relied in making their decision. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be Houston, Texas.

Notwithstanding anything herein and regardless of any procedures or rules of the Center for Public Resources, it is expressly agreed that the following shall apply and control over any other provision in this Agreement:

(a)

All offers, conduct, views, opinions and statements made in the course of negotiation or mediation by any of the Parties, their employees, agents, experts, attorneys and representatives, and by any mediator, are confidential, made for compromise and settlement, protected from disclosure under Federal and State Rules of Evidence and Procedure, and inadmissible and not discoverable for any purpose, including impeachment, in litigation or legal proceedings between the Parties, and shall not be disclosed to any Person who is not an agent, employee, expert or representative of the Parties, provided that evidence otherwise discoverable or admissible is not excluded from discovery or admission as a result of presentation or use in mediation.

(b)

Except to the extent that the Parties may agree upon selection of one or more arbitrators, the Center for Public Resources shall select arbitrators from a panel reviewed by the Parties. The Parties shall be entitled to exercise peremptory strikes against one-third of the panel and may challenge other candidates for lack of neutrality or lack of qualifications. Challenges shall be resolved in accordance with Center for Public Resource rules.

(c)	The Parties shall have at least 20 Days following the close of hearing within which to submit a brief (not to exceed 18 pages in length) and ten Days from date of receipt of the opponent’s brief within which to respond thereto.

(d)	The Parties expressly agree that the arbitrators shall not award punitive damages, consequential damages, or attorneys’ fees (except attorneys’ fees specifically authorized by the Agreement).

(e)	The fees and expenses of any mediator or arbitrator shall be shared equally by the Parties.

(f)	The Parties may, by written agreement (signed by both Parties), alter any time deadline or location(s) for meetings.

Time is of the essence for purposes of the provisions of this Exhibit.
