3. TERM
This Agreement shall commence as of the Commencement Date, as that term is defined in the Terminalling Agreement, for a period of five (5) Contract Years (the “Initial Term”) and shall automatically renew thereafter for one (1) additional period of five (5) Contract Years absent written notice of termination by Shipper received by Carrier at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term (the “Option Term”). A Contract Year shall mean the period commencing on the Commencement Date or any anniversary thereof and ending three hundred sixty-five consecutive days later (three hundred sixty-six consecutive days later for leap years). This Agreement shall automatically renew on an annual basis following the expiration of the Option Term (each a “Renewal Term”), provided, however, that either party hereto may terminate this Agreement by written notice received at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Option Term or any such Renewal Term (the Initial Term, the Option Term, and all Renewal Terms collectively referred to herein as the “Term”). When this Agreement is terminated, Shipper shall withdraw all Products from the Orlando Terminal in accordance herewith. Either party may terminate this Agreement upon the default of the other party under the terms hereof if the defaulting party fails to cure the default within 30 days after notice thereof.
4. CHARGES
(a) Tariffed Terminal Services. Charges for Tariffed Services are set forth in the Tariff in effect at the time the Tariffed Terminal Service is provided.
(b) Contract Services. Charges for those Contract Services, if any, selected by Shipper in Section 2 hereof are set forth in Appendix A hereof. All charges for Contract Services will be annually escalated by the percentage increase change in the “Producer Price Index - Finished Goods” as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor (“PPI”). . Should the Producer Price Index decrease in a given year, no charges shall be de-escalated. Starting on the first annual anniversary date of this agreement and continuing on each anniversary date thereafter, the multiplier (“Escalation Factor”) for use in escalating the charges shall be determined by calculating the difference between the PPI’s for the first month of any term and the last month of any term, and then dividing that difference into the PPI for the first month of such term. Example: Assume that the anniversary date of the contract is July 1, 1993, and that the PPI for July 1992 is 110.6 and the PPI for June 1993 is 116.0; the difference is 5.4, which when divided by 110.6 equals 0.049 rounded to three decimal places, which is used as the Escalation Factor. Note: The charge for Carrier supplied additive is exempt from the above described escalation. Carrier provides additive at its cost. As Carriers cost changes, so shall the associated charge to Shipper.
In the event the U.S. Department of Labor ceases to publish the PPI, the parties shall select by mutual agreement another index to use to adjust the fees outlined in this Agreement.
(c) Pursuant to the Terminalling Agreement, Shipper agrees that it will pay each Contract Year in accordance with Section 8 of the Terminalling Agreement the
3
Annual Minimum Payments, as that term is defined in the Terminalling Agreement, for Tariffed Terminal Services and Contract Services under this Agreement and for the storage and handling services provided in accordance with the Terminalling Agreement. If the aggregate payments made by Shipper during a Contract Year for the services provided under this Agreement and the Terminalling Agreement, are less than the Annual Minimum Payments, Shipper shall make a True-up Payment (as that term is defined in the Terminalling Agreement) in accordance with Section 8 of the Terminalling Agreement.
5. LOADING RACK PROCEDURES
(a) To the extent reasonable and practicable and when not prohibited by conditions or events beyond the control of Carrier, Carrier shall maintain the loading rack available for loading and shipping for Shipper’s account, twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, including weekends and holidays. Shipper shall provide and arrange for timely arrival of Shipper’s designated tank trucks and trailers. All loading of tank trucks and trailers shall be undertaken by drivers designated by Shipper, and certified and approved by Carrier. Cardlock devices will be made available by Carrier for each meter spot, and cards provided to Shipper and or Shipper’s designated carrier. Product withdrawal, truck dispatching, and Shipper’s internal accounting procedures shall be the sole responsibility of Shipper. Shipper’s Product will be available for truck loading during normal terminal operating hours.
(b) In order to assign the responsibility for removal of Product from the Terminal, Shipper must inform Carriers Orlando Terminal Manager, in writing addressed to 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000-0000, of the name of the transporter that will be used to remove the Product from the Orlando Terminal, and such transporter must complete the Transporter Terminal Access Agreement.
(c) Shipper expressly assumes all liability, including, but not limited to, liability for payment without offset as hereinabove provided, for all Product withdrawn by cards provided to Shipper and Shippers designated transporters, as provided in Appendix C of this Agreement. All compartment seals shall be provided by Shipper. Carrier shall provide Shipper with transaction reports through the mail, Monday through Friday (not including holidays) and a summary report at month end.
(d) Shippers tank truck drivers shall be responsible to perform truck loading operations. Each driver shall obtain a rack driver access card from Transporter as provided in the Transporter Terminal Access. It is the responsibility of the Shipper or its designated transporter, provided Shipper has assigned that responsibility to such transporter in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, to ensure that the tank vehicle is in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations and rules including without limitation all Department of Transportation regulations.

6. TITLE AND ASSESSMENTS
Title to all Shipper’s Product received at the Orlando Terminal shall remain with Shipper, and Shipper, subject to its reserved right to contest or dispute, shall be solely responsible for the payment of all property taxes, fees, or other charges and assessments of any kind which may be assessed or placed upon such Product. In addition, Shipper, subject to its reserved right to contest or dispute, shall pay all property taxes assessed against any property or equipment placed or installed at the Orlando Terminal by Shipper. Any such installation or replacement shall require the advance written approval of Carrier and shall be subject to such conditions respecting maintenance, insurance and other matters as Carrier shall impose.
Carrier will transfer title of Product between Shipper and other Shippers using the Orlando Terminal upon receiving written notification of requested change by the current title holder. This written request is to be sent (facsimile transmission will also be accepted) to Carriers Product Movement Supervisor. See Appendix B for a Transfer Form to be used when requesting such a transaction.
7. LIABILITY
Carrier shall not be liable as an insurer of Shipper’s Product.

If Shipper carries any insurance on Shipper’s Product, the Shipper’s insurance carrier shall endorse the policy to waive subrogation against Carrier. Copies of such endorsement shall be furnished to Carrier upon request.
The provisions of this Section are intended to supplement the terms of Item 110 of the Tariff and, except as otherwise expressly provided in Appendix A hereof for certain Contract Services, the indemnification provided by Carrier to Shipper in such Item shall apply to Contract as well as Tariffed Services.
SUBJECT TO APPENDIX A HERETO BUT OTHERWISE NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, CARRIER SHALL BE LIABLE TO SHIPPER ONLY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE TO SHIPPER’S PRODUCT AND NOT FOR ANY SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

SPECIFICALLY, CARRIER DOES NOT WARRANT NOR IN ANY WAY REPRESENT TO SHIPPER THAT COMMODITY AS DELIVERED BY CARRIER IS SUITABLE OR OTHERWISE FIT FOR USE IN THE OPERATION OF ANY AIRCRAFT. SHIPPER SHALL HAVE COMPLETE RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE ALL NECESSARY TANKAGE AND FILTER EQUIPMENT AT THE COMMODITY’S XXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX
0

(b) At the end of each month, but no later than the tenth working day after the end of the month, Carrier shall provide a summary of each grade and the product receipts, deliveries and closing inventory. Product gain or loss shall be determined in the following manner: opening tank inventory plus stock receipts into tank, plus additive volumes injected upstream of the loading rack meter, less the sum of withdrawals through meters and closing tank inventory, equals gain or loss.
(i) If the monthly book inventory results in a gain or loss when compared to the physical inventory, such gain or loss will be allocated to Shipper as set forth in Item 96 of the Tariff.
(ii) The aforesaid monthly gains and losses for the preceding calendar year will be totaled and compared to determine the net volume of the gain or loss of Shippers product. In the event there is a net loss of Shippers product in excess of the allowances set forth in Item 96 of the Tariff, Carrier will reimburse Shipper for such excess loss pursuant to Item 96 of the Tariff.
6
(c) Carrier will reimburse Shipper for each barrel of product lost in excess of the aforementioned loss allowances by monetary payment or delivery of like product, at Carriers’ option, as follows:
(i) Monetary Payment: Carrier will pay Shipper an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the actual cost of such Product to Shipper, or (ii) an amount equal to the average Xxxxx’x U.S.Gulf Coast Waterborne Jet Fuel (or an equivalent publication that is mutually acceptable) mean for fifteen (15) days immediately prior to such loss plus $ .02 per gallon of any lost Commodities on the day so lost or damaged, for the type product lost.
