Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 18, 2013, Tesoro Corporation (“Tesoro” or the “Company”) entered into a Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with Tesoro Logistics LP (the “Partnership”), Carson Cogeneration Company (“Carson Cogen”), Tesoro Refining & Marketing Company LLC (“TRMC”), Tesoro Logistics GP, LLC (the “General Partner”) and Tesoro Logistics Operations LLC (the “Operating Company”), pursuant to which the Operating Company agreed to acquire from TRMC, through the General Partner and the Partnership, logistics assets that are a part of TRMC’s refining and marketing business located in Southern California, as well as certain other related assets and properties (the “Assets”), previously acquired by TRMC, Carson Cogen and Tesoro SoCal Pipeline Company LLC (“TSPC”) pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated August 8, 2012, as amended (the “BP Purchase and Sale Agreement”) by and among TRMC, BP West Coast Products LLC and the other sellers named therein.

On December 6, 2013, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, Carson Cogen, TSPC, TRMC, the General Partner, the Partnership and the Operating Company, as applicable, entered into the following agreements. For the agreements to which both the General Partner and the Partnership are parties, other than the Tranche 1 Contribution Agreement Amendment, the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement, Amendment No. 2 and the Amended Omnibus Schedules (each as defined and discussed below), the General Partner and the Partnership are parties to such agreements solely to facilitate the contribution of commercial rights to the Operating Company.

Amendment No. 1 to the Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement

Amendment No. 1 to the Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement dated May 17, 2013 (the “Tranche 1 Contribution Agreement Amendment”) among the Operating Company, the Partnership, General Partner, Tesoro and TRMC, amends the Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement dated May 17, 2013, by and among the Operating Company, the Partnership, the General Partner, TRMC and Tesoro (the “Tranche 1 Contribution Agreement”), to remove certain sections related to environmental indemnities with respect to the assets contributed pursuant to the Tranche 1 Contribution Agreement, which provisions are now covered by the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement, discussed below.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Tranche 1 Contribution Agreement Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement

Pursuant to the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement among the Operating Company, the Partnership, the General Partner, TRMC and Tesoro (the “Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement”), TRMC retains the responsibility for the remediation of known environmental liabilities arising out of the use or operation of (i) the Assets, (ii) Berth 121, Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 (each as defined below) and (iii) the assets acquired by the Operating Company pursuant to the Tranche 1 Contribution Agreement (collectively with the Assets, Berth 121, Terminal 2 and Terminal 3, the “Indemnity Assets”), prior to June 1, 2013, and agrees to indemnify the Operating Company for any losses incurred by the Operating Company arising out of that remediation obligation. Further, TRMC agrees to indemnify the Operating Company for remediation arising out of unknown environmental liabilities, to the extent such liabilities related to the use or operation of the Indemnity Assets prior to June 1, 2013. Any hazardous substances that are first discovered outside of the physical boundaries of the Indemnity Assets after June 1, 2018, and that do not relate to the ownership or operation of Terminal 2, will be presumed to have occurred after June 1, 2013. However, with respect to hazardous substances outside of the physical boundaries of the Indemnity Assets first discovered within ten years after the execution date of the agreement that relate to the ownership or operation of Terminal 2, there is a rebuttable presumption that the hazardous substances were released prior to the execution date of the agreement. In addition to the environmental remediation obligation, TRMC also agrees to indemnify the Operating Company for certain third party environmental claims filed within two years after June 1, 2013. To ensure TRMC’s ability to comply with such indemnification obligations, TRMC agrees to maintain an amount of assets minus liabilities of $250 million and certify that balance to the Operating Company as of each April 30. If TRMC is unable to certify that balance, TRMC is required to provide other methods of surety.

As the Indemnity Assets were acquired by TRMC pursuant to the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Operating Company agrees, with respect to its obligations to TRMC under the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement, to be bound by TRMC’s covenants in the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement to the extent those covenants relate specifically to the Indemnity Assets (such as access for the Sellers under the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement for actions related to their retained liabilities and cooperation in the context of any potential litigation) and will have the benefits of the Sellers’ representations and warranties, covenants and indemnities that relate specifically to the Indemnity Assets.

 

2


In addition to the indemnity related to the remediation obligation discussed above, the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement provides for procedures by which TRMC and the Operating Company (through or together with TRMC) may make indemnification claims under the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement against the Sellers with respect to breaches of warranties and certain liabilities retained by the Sellers, and how the two parties will share amounts recovered for those indemnification claims.

The Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement also provides for TRMC to reimburse or indemnify the Operating Company for:

 

    certain repair or maintenance expenses for storage tanks and pipelines acquired as part of the Indemnity Assets;

 

    for failure of TRMC to transfer good and valid title to the Assets;

 

    for losses arising out of events and circumstances related to TRMC’s ownership or operation of the Assets between June 1, 2013, and December 6, 2013, to the extent such losses are not otherwise covered by the environmental indemnification provisions of the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement; and

 

    for losses related to assets not transferred to the Operating Company, also to the extent such losses are not otherwise covered by the environmental indemnification provisions of the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Berth 121 Sublease Rights Agreement

Carson Cogen has leasehold interests in a marine terminal at the Port of Long Beach, California (the “Port”), consisting of Berth 121 and various fixtures and improvements located in, on and around Berth 121, including piping, loading arms and sheds (such fixtures and improvements together with the berth itself, “Berth 121”), pursuant to a lease with the City of Long Beach, California (the “Berth 121 Lease”). Berth 121 receives crude oil and other feedstocks from marine vessels for delivery to TRMC’s Carson refinery, and receives refined and intermediate products from TRMC’s Carson refinery for delivery to marine vessels.

Pursuant to the Berth 121 Sublease Rights Agreement between Carson Cogen and TRMC, upon receiving the consent of the City of Long Beach, Carson Cogen will sublease its interest in the Berth 121 Lease to TRMC, or its designee. Upon the effectiveness of the sublease of the Berth 121 Lease, TRMC will enter into a right of entry agreement with its designee, which is expected to be the Operating Company, to give TRMC access to Berth 121 to conduct environmental remediation activities pursuant to the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement.

The Berth 121 Sublease Rights Agreement also provides that if the Berth 121 Lease expires without the Operating Company, as TRMC’s designee, having obtained a sublease of the lease, and a new lease is not entered into between the City of Long Beach and Carson Cogen, then Carson Cogen shall convey all improvements related to Berth 121 that are owned by TRMC to the Operating Company. However, if the Berth 121 Lease expires without the Operating Company, as TRMC’s designee, having obtained a sublease thereof, but a new lease is entered into between the City of Long Beach and Carson Cogen, Carson Cogen and the Operating Company agree to negotiate in good faith for a new operating agreement on similar terms as the Berth 121 Operating Agreement (discussed below).

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Berth 121 Sublease Rights Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Berth 121 Operating Agreement

The Berth 121 Operating Agreement between the Operating Company and Carson Cogen governs the Operating Company’s operation of Berth 121 on behalf of Carson Cogen until the effectiveness of the sublease of the Berth 121 Lease to TRMC, or its designee, which is expected to be the Operating Company. The General Partner, on behalf of the Operating Company, will provide necessary personnel, equipment and other services for the operation, management and maintenance of Berth 121. The Operating Company is compensated for these services from the fees it receives pursuant to the Long Beach Berth Throughput Agreement (discussed below). The Berth 121 Operating Agreement terminates if the Berth 121 Lease is terminated, cancelled or expires for any reason. The agreement also terminates if the Operating Company rescinds the contribution of Berth 121 pursuant to the Contribution Agreement.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Berth 121 Operating Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.5 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Terminal 2 Sublease Rights Agreement

TRMC owns portions of a marine terminal at the Port, consisting of Berth 76 and fifty percent of Berth 77, certain tank farms related thereto and various fixtures and improvements located in, on and around such berths, including piping, loading arms and sheds (such fixtures and improvements collectively with the tank farms and the berths themselves, the “Owned Portion of Terminal 2”). TRMC has leasehold interests in the remaining portion of the same marine terminal, consisting of Berth 78 and the remaining fifty-percent of Berth 77, certain tank farms related thereto and various fixtures and improvements located in, on and around such berths, including piping, loading arms and sheds (such fixtures, improvements, tank farms and berths, together with the Owned Portion of Terminal 2, “Terminal 2”), pursuant to a lease with the City of Long Beach, California (the “Terminal 2 Lease”). Terminal 2 receives crude oil and other feedstocks from marine vessels for delivery to TRMC’s Carson refinery, and receives refined and intermediate products from TRMC’s Carson refinery for delivery to marine vessels.

Pursuant to the Terminal 2 Sublease Rights Agreement among TRMC, the General Partner, the Partnership and the Operating Company, upon receiving the consent of the City of Long Beach to do so, TRMC agrees to sublease its interest in the Terminal 2 Lease to the Operating Company.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Terminal 2 Sublease Rights Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.6 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Terminals 2 and 3 Ground Lease Rights Agreement

TRMC also owns a group of storage terminals with a combined shell capacity of approximately 336,000 barrels, located across the channel from Terminal 2 at the Port (“Terminal 3”). Pursuant to the Terminals 2 and 3 Ground Lease Rights Agreement among TRMC, the General Partner, the Partnership and the Operating Company, upon the effectiveness of the sublease of the Terminal 2 Lease to the Operating Company, TRMC agrees to enter into a ground lease with the Operating Company with respect to the Owned Portion of Terminal 2 and Terminal 3. TRMC and the Operating Company further agree that upon the effectiveness of the ground lease, the parties will enter into a right of entry agreement to give TRMC access to Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 to conduct environmental remediation activities pursuant to the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Ground Lease Rights Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.7 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Terminals 2 and 3 Operating Agreement

The Terminals 2 and 3 Operating Agreement among TRMC, the General Partner, the Partnership and the Operating Company governs the Operating Company’s operation of Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 on behalf of TRMC until the effectiveness of the sublease of the Terminal 2 Lease. The General Partner, on behalf of the Operating Company, will provide necessary personnel, equipment and other services for the operation, management and maintenance of such assets. The Operating Company is compensated for these services from the fees it receives pursuant to the Long Beach Berth Throughput Agreement (discussed below). The Terminals 2 and 3 Operating Agreement terminates if the Terminal 2 Lease is terminated, cancelled or expires for any reason. The agreement also terminates if the Operating Company rescinds the contribution of Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 pursuant to the Contribution Agreement.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Terminals 2 and 3 Operating Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.8 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Amended and Restated Long Beach Berth Access Use and Throughput Agreement

The Amended and Restated Berth Access Use and Throughput Agreement among TRMC, the General Partner, the Partnership and the Operating Company (the “BAUTA”), amends and restates the Berth Access Use and Throughput Agreement dated September 14, 2012, by and among the same parties. Under the BAUTA, the Operating Company provides TRMC’s marine vessels and personnel access to and use of Berths 121, 76, 77, 78, 84A and 86, all located at the Port (Berths 84A and 86 were acquired by the Operating Company from TRMC pursuant to a Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement dated September 14, 2012, by and among Tesoro, TRMC, the General Partner, the Partnership and the Operating Company, and collectively with the other berths will be referred to as the “Berths”), subject to their availability, for TRMC’s receipt and shipment of products to and from marine vessels. The Operating Company is compensated for these services from the fees it receives pursuant to the Long Beach Berth Throughput Agreement (discussed below). The BAUTA becomes effective with respect to Berths 84A and 86 upon the effective date of the sublease by the Operating Company of TRMC’s interest in those assets pursuant to a lease with the City of Long Beach. The BAUTA becomes effective with respect to Berth 121 upon the effective date of the sublease by the Operating Company of the Berth 121 Lease, as TRMC’s designee. The BAUTA becomes effective with respect to Berths 76, 77 and 78 upon the effective date of the sublease by the Operating Company of the Terminal 2 Lease. The BAUTA may be terminated in part with respect to any of the Berths. Upon such a termination, the parties agree to meet to decide on appropriate amendments or adjustments to the BAUTA to reflect such termination.

 

4


The initial term of the BAUTA is ten years from the date the first sublease with respect to any of Berths is effective and TRMC, at its sole option, may extend the term for two renewal terms of five years each, or, it may modify the term of the BAUTA to a twenty year term by providing notice to the Operating Company no later than the fifth anniversary of such effective date.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the BAUTA , which is filed as Exhibit 10.9 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Long Beach Berth Throughput Agreement

Under the Long Beach Berth Throughput Agreement among TRMC, the General Partner, the Partnership and the Operating Company (the “LBBTA”), during the term of any of the Berth 121 Operating Agreement, the Terminals 2 and 3 Operating Agreement and the BAUTA, TRMC is obligated to transport an aggregate volume of at least 8,958,500 barrels of crude oil and refined products per month across the Berths at throughput fees per barrel to be set forth on terminal service orders. TRMC is also obligated to pay the Operating Company a minimum monthly fee for the throughput, determined by multiplying the minimum commitment described above by a weighted average throughput fee across the Berths to be set forth on a terminal service order. All fees under the LBBTA that are set forth on terminal service orders are indexed for inflation. If TRMC does not transport aggregate volumes equal to the minimum throughput commitment described above during any calendar month, TRMC shall pay the Operating Company a shortfall payment equal to the difference between the minimum fee as determined above and the actual volume received during the month multiplied by the per barrel throughput fee applicable to any berth. The amount of any shortfall payment paid by TRMC will be credited against any amounts owed by TRMC for the transportation of volumes in excess of its minimum throughput commitments during any of the succeeding three months.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the LBBTA, which is filed as Exhibit 10.10 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Amended and Restated Master Terminalling and Services Agreement—Southern California

The Amended and Restated Master Terminalling Services Agreement—Southern California, among TRMC, the General Partner, the Partnership and the Operating Company (“MTSA”) amends and restates the Master Terminalling Services Agreement—Southern California dated June 1, 2013, by and among the same parties. The initial term of the MTSA is for ten years, which is, in effect, a one year extension of the term of the original agreement. TRMC has the option to extend the term for up to two renewal terms of five years each. Pursuant to the MTSA, the Operating Company provides TRMC with terminalling and ancillary services in return for TRMC’s commitment to throughput or store, as the case may be, petroleum products, ethanol and biofuels, crude oil, transmix, intermediate products and fuel oil at the Operating Company’s Colton, Hynes, Hathaway, San Diego, and Vinvale terminals, all of which were acquired by the Operating Company pursuant to the Tranche 1 Contribution Agreement. The MTSA adds to this list of terminals the Carson Products Terminal, which was acquired by the Operating Company pursuant to the Contribution Agreement. The MTSA also adds the provision of storage services at the Operating Company’s Vinvale terminal, which services were not included in the original agreement. The monthly fees and cost reimbursements payable to the Operating Company for such services are set forth on terminal service orders for each terminal executed by both the Operating Company and TRMC. If TRMC throughputs aggregate volumes less than its minimum throughput commitment for any month, TRMC shall pay the Operating Company a shortfall payment calculated by a weighted average of all terminalling service fees paid by TRMC during that month multiplied by the amount of the volume shortfall. Under the MTSA, TRMC pays a monthly storage fee throughout the term of the MTSA to reserve, on a firm basis, all of the existing aggregate shell capacity of certain tanks as specified on a terminal service order. All fees under the MTSA set forth on terminal service orders are indexed for inflation.

During the term of the MTSA, TRMC has a right of first refusal on any additional throughput or new storage that the Operating Company offers to third parties. Any time after the termination of the MTSA, and provided that the termination was not due to TRMC’s default, TRMC can require the Operating Company to enter into a new terminalling services agreement with TRMC, provided the term of such new agreement shall not extend beyond May 31, 2033. For up to two years after the termination of the MTSA, and provided that the termination was not due to TRMC’s default, TRMC may exercise a right of first refusal on any terminalling services agreement the Operating Company offers to a third party.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the MTSA, which is filed as Exhibit 10.11 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

The initial term of the LBSSA is ten years. TRMC has the option to extend the term for up to two renewal terms of five years each. Under the LBSSA, the Operating Company provides storage and handling services for crude oil, refinery feedstocks and refined products owned by TRMC and stored in one or more of the Operating Company’s tanks.

All fees under the LBSSA set forth on terminal service orders are indexed for inflation. For up to two years after the termination of the LBSSA, and provided the termination was not due to TRMC’s default, TRMC may exercise a right of first refusal on any new storage agreement the Operating Company offers to a third party.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the LBSSA, which is filed as Exhibit 10.12 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Under the Transportation Services Agreement (SoCal Pipelines) between TSPC and TRMC (the “SoCal TSA”), TSPC provides transportation services with respect to crude oil, refined products and other commodities on 212 miles of TSPC’s Southern California pipeline system. The initial term of the SoCal TSA is ten years. TRMC has the option to extend the term for up to two renewal terms of five years each. Under the SoCal TSA, TRMC is obligated to throughput an aggregate volume of 6,665,200 barrels of crude oil per month.

TRMC is also obligated to pay an excess throughput fee for transportation of crude oil or refined products, as applicable, in excess of certain volumes as set forth on pipeline service orders. All fees under the SoCal TSA set forth on pipeline service orders are indexed for inflation.

If TRMC does not ship on the pipelines aggregate volumes equal to its minimum throughput commitment, either with respect to crude oil or refined products, during any calendar month, TRMC will owe TSPC a shortfall payment based on the throughput fees as set forth and calculated on pipeline service orders. The amount of any shortfall payment paid by TRMC will be credited against any excess throughput fees owed by TRMC, during any of the succeeding three months.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the SoCal TSA, which is filed as Exhibit 10.13 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

These prior provisions are now contained in the LBPTA, rather than in the amended and restated BAUTA described above.

The initial term of the LBPTA is ten years from the date the BAUTA becomes effective with respect to Berths 84A and 86 (the “Commencement Date”) and TRMC, at its sole option, may extend the term for two renewal terms of five years each, or, it may modify the term of the LBPTA to a twenty year term by providing notice to the Operating Company no later than the fifth anniversary of the Commencement Date.

Under the LBPTA, TRMC is obligated to throughput (i) an aggregate volume of 912,500 barrels of crude oil and refined products between Berths 84A and 86 and TRMC’s Los Angeles Refinery from the Commencement Date through December 31, 2014 and (ii) an aggregate volume of 1,520,833 barrels of crude oil and refined products per month between the same berths and refinery from January 1, 2015 through the termination of the LBPTA. The per barrel fees for such throughput are to be set forth on pipeline service orders, and TRMC will be obligated to pay a minimum pipeline use fee to the Operating Company on a monthly basis, also as set forth on a pipeline service order. All fees under the LBPTA that are to be set forth on pipeline service orders are indexed for inflation.

COVENANTS AND INDEMNIFICATION CLAIMS RELATED TO THE

Section 2.1 No Amendment . TRMC agrees that it will not amend or waive any provision of the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement, if such amendment or waiver would reasonably be expected to be adverse to the Partnership Group’s interest in the Assets, without the prior written consent of the Operating Company.

Section 2.2 Post-Closing Compliance . The Operating Company agrees to comply with the “Post-Closing Covenants” of TRMC contained in Article 12 of the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement as if the Operating Company were a party thereto to the extent such covenants apply to the Assets and to the extent that the Operating Company is allowed to comply with respect to Assets it does not own pursuant to the operating agreements and subleases executed in connection with the Tranche 2 Contribution Agreement. TRMC hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the Sellers comply with their obligations with respect to the Assets under the terms of Article 12 of the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement, and TRMC further agrees that, in the event TRMC receives the benefit of any actions taken by the Sellers in satisfaction of such covenants, TRMC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Operating Company receives the benefit of such actions.

Section 2.3 Benefit of BP Representations . In addition to the assignment of rights under the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement as part of the Assets, TRMC agrees that, as between TRMC and the Operating Company, the Operating Company shall have the benefit of all of Sellers’ representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities in the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement relating to the Assets as if the Operating Company was a party thereto; provided, however, that the Operating Company may coordinate through TRMC for any claim with respect thereto as set forth herein.


Section 2.4 Losses . Upon a Loss incurred by any Partnership Indemnified Party on or after the BP Closing Date with respect to the Assets arising out of (i) a breach of a representation or warranty made by the Sellers under the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement, (ii) a Third Party Environmental Claim filed in state or federal court or first identified in any order, notice or request issued by, or any investigation initiated by a Governmental Authority within two years of the BP Closing Date, (iii) a breach of a covenant of the Sellers under the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement, or (iv) the BP Retained Liabilities, the Operating Company shall promptly notify TRMC thereof with sufficient detail to enable TRMC to take action as set forth below. Based on the assignment of rights under the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement as part of the Assets, the Operating Company may make a direct claim against the Sellers with respect to applicable claims. In addition, if requested by the Operating Company, upon receipt of any such notice from, and discussion with, the Operating Company, TRMC shall promptly make an indemnification claim against the Sellers with respect to such Loss in accordance with the terms of the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement. In connection with any such claim for indemnification, TRMC shall take direction from the Operating Company with respect to the conduct and resolution of any such claim, and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with such instructions from the Operating Company. It is the intent of this provision that no Partnership Indemnified Party have any direct claims against TRMC with respect to any Losses arising out of clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 2.4 , but it is intended that the Partnership Indemnified Parties benefit with respect to any such claims as if they were parties to the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement. Upon any recovery by TRMC from the Sellers for indemnification claims made on behalf of any Partnership Indemnified Party due to Losses arising out of clauses (iii) and (iv) of this Section 2.4 , TRMC shall promptly pay the full amount of such recoveries to the applicable Partnership Indemnified Party. Upon any recovery by TRMC from the Sellers for indemnification claims made on behalf of any Partnership Indemnified Party due to Losses arising out of clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.4 or any indemnification claims made on behalf of any Buyer Indemnified Party arising out of similar claims thereto under the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement (which for clarity for both the Partnership Indemnified Parties and the Buyer Indemnified Parties are the Warranty Claims and Third Party Environmental Indemnity Claims described in Section 2.7 ), TRMC and the Operating Company agree to allocate such recoveries pursuant to Section 2.7 . The Operating Company shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by TRMC in making such claim on behalf of the Operating Company. The Operating Company, on behalf of the Partnership Indemnified Parties, acknowledges and agrees that the procedures for indemnification in this Section 2.4 are the exclusive remedies of the Partnership Indemnified Parties for Losses arising out clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 2.4 .

Section 2.5 Indemnity by Operating Company .

(a) The Operating Company agrees to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party for any Losses incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party on or after the BP Closing Date due to a claim for indemnification made by a Seller Indemnified Party arising out of any obligation assumed by the Operating Company with respect to the Assets pursuant to the Contribution Agreements.

(b) The Operating Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Buyer Indemnified Party from and against any Losses suffered or incurred by a Buyer Indemnified Party by reason of a third party claim arising from or relating to the ownership, use and/or operation of the Tranche 1 Assets after the BP Closing Date or the ownership, use and/or operation of the Tranche 2 Assets after the Execution Date.


(c) Upon any Buyer Indemnified Party being made aware of such a claim, TRMC shall promptly make a claim for indemnification against the Operating Company, and the Operating Company and TRMC, on behalf of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, agree to conduct and resolve such a claim in accordance with the procedures provided in Section 3.6 of the Second Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement. TRMC, on behalf of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, acknowledges and agrees that the procedures for indemnification in this Section 2.5 are the exclusive remedies of the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Losses pursuant to this Section 2.5 .

Section 2.6 Environmental Indemnity by TRMC .

(a) TRMC shall be responsible for and shall perform Remedial Work arising from or relating to the ownership, use and/or operation of the Tranche 1 Assets prior to the BP Closing Date, including the Remedial Work listed on Schedule 2.6 , and Remedial Work arising from or relating to the ownership, use and/or operation of the Tranche 2 Assets prior to the Execution Date (collectively, the “ TRMC Remedial Work ”). The Operating Company shall be responsible for and bear any and all costs associated with operating the Tranche 1 Assets after the BP Closing Date and the Tranche 2 Assets after the Execution Date in compliance with any order, “Environmental Permit” (as defined in the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement) or request of any Governmental Authority.

(b) TRMC shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Partnership, the Operating Company, their Affiliates, their respective successors and each of their respective officers (or persons in any similar capacity if such person is not a corporation), employees, consultants and agents of the Partnership, the Operating Company, their Affiliates and their respective successors (each, a “ Partnership Indemnified Party ”) from and against any Losses suffered or incurred by a Partnership Indemnified Party by reason of or arising out of the TRMC Remedial Work, including any failure by TRMC to perform such TRMC Remedial Work.

(c) TRMC shall also indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Partnership Indemnified Party from and against any Losses suffered or incurred by a Partnership Indemnified Party by reason of a Third Party Environmental Claim arising from or relating to the ownership, use and/or operation of the Tranche 2 Assets between the BP Closing Date and the Execution Date, that (i) is filed in state or federal court within two years of the BP Closing Date or (ii) first identified in any order, notice or request issued by, or any investigation initiated by a Governmental Authority pursuant to Environmental Law within two years of the BP Closing Date.

(d) Except as set forth in Sections 2.6(b) and 2.6(c) , in no event shall TRMC have any direct responsibility to the Partnership or the Operating Company for Third Party Environmental Claims or any BP Retained Liabilities relating to the Assets.


(e) Any Hazardous Substances (as defined in the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement) first discovered outside the physical boundaries of any Asset shall be conclusively presumed to be the result of a Release (as defined in the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement) subsequent to the Execution Date if such Hazardous Substances (i) are first discovered more than five (5) years after the BP Closing Date and (ii) do not relate to, or arise out of, the ownership or operation of Terminal 2 (as defined in Exhibit A). For any Hazardous Substances that are outside the physical boundaries of Terminal 2 but have or are alleged to have arisen from or be related to ownership or operation of Terminal 2, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that such Hazardous Substances are the result of a Release prior to the Execution Date if such Hazardous Substances are first discovered within ten (10) years after the Execution Date; and if such Hazardous Substances are first discovered after ten (10) years past the Execution Date, there shall be no presumption, but the provisions of Section 2.6(f) shall apply.

The third party consultant shall consider all information submitted to it by TRMC, the Partnership and the Operating Company to make the final determination, but shall not perform additional on-site studies or evaluations unless agreed to by the TRMC, the Partnership and the Operating Company. The following additional procedures shall apply to any such dispute:

(i) TRMC, on one hand, and the Partnership and the Operating Company, on the other, shall provide the other with copies of the relevant records and provide reasonable access to its personnel as necessary to verify the accuracy of the applicable issue;

(ii) within thirty (30) days of the selection of the consulting firm, TRMC, on one hand, and the Partnership and the Operating Company, on the other, shall each submit to the consulting firm (with a copy to the other party) their respective proposals with respect to the determination of the applicable issue;

(iii) the consulting firm shall schedule a hearing at a site mutually agreeable to TRMC, the Partnership and the Operating Company not later than twenty (20) days after receipt of the last proposal;

(iv) no less than seven (7) days prior to the hearing, each party may submit additional information and arguments in response to the proposal offered by the other side;

(v) TRMC, on one hand, and the Partnership and the Operating Company, on the other, shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of the costs of the consulting firm and shall each pay their own costs and expenses related to the hearing;

(vi) within fifteen (15) days after the hearing, the consulting firm shall issue an interim determination in writing as to responsibility, and where appropriate, its determination of the allocation of percentage responsibility and liability;


(vii) within ten (10) days of the consulting firm’s issuance of the interim determination, TRMC, on one hand, and the Partnership and the Operating Company, on the other, may submit suggested corrective language to the consulting firm, which the consulting firm shall determine whether or not to include in its final determination; and

(viii) within ten (10) days of the expiration of the period in Section 2.6(f)(vii) , the consulting firm shall make a final determination in writing as to responsibility and where appropriate, its determination of the allocation of percentage responsibility and liability, which determination shall be final and binding.

(g) In the event any Partnership Indemnified Party desires to make an indemnification claim against TRMC pursuant to Section 2.6(b) or Section 2.6(c) , it may do so pursuant to the procedures for making indemnification claims provided in Section 3.6 of the Second Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no other article or section of the Second Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement shall apply to this Section 2.6 .

(1) a positive amount, that amount shall be paid to the Partnership Indemnified Parties instead of the Buyer Indemnified Parties (and if the amount to be paid by Sellers in the applicable payment is not sufficient upon the reallocation to take into account this amount, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall pay that insufficiency to the Partnership Indemnified Parties); or

(2) a negative amount, the difference between zero and that negative amount shall be paid to the Buyer Indemnified Parties instead of the Partnership Indemnified Parties (and if the amount to be paid by Sellers in the applicable payment is not sufficient upon the reallocation to take into account this amount, the Partnership Indemnified Parties shall pay that insufficiency to the Buyer Indemnified Parties).

(b) For any Indemnity Claims that would have resulted in a recovery by either Indemnified Party, as determined pursuant to Sections 2.7(d) and (e) , but for the Cap:

(2) for the Partnership Indemnified Parties, in an amount equal to the product of (x) the total amount of Third Party Environmental Indemnity Claims paid by Sellers and those determined to be valid pursuant to Sections 2.7(d) and (e) , up to the Cap, and (y) the total amount of Third Party Environmental Indemnity Claims made by Partnership Indemnified Parties, and by TRMC on behalf thereof pursuant to Section 2.4 , accepted by Sellers in accordance with terms of the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement and those determined to be valid pursuant to Sections 2.7(d) and (e)  divided by the aggregate amount of all Third Party Environmental Indemnity Claims made by the Indemnified Parties accepted by Sellers in accordance with terms of the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement and those determined to be valid pursuant to Sections 2.7(d) and (e) ;

(ii) second, if the total amount of Third Party Environmental Indemnity Claims paid by Sellers is less than the Cap (such difference, the “ Representation Indemnity Amount ”), the Indemnified Parties shall recalculate the amounts receivable pursuant to Section 2.7(a) with respect thereto as follows:

(1) for the Buyer Indemnified Parties, in an amount equal to the product of (x) the Representation Indemnity Amount and (y) the total amount of Warranty Claims made by the Buyer Indemnified Parties accepted by Sellers in accordance with terms of the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement and those determined to be valid pursuant to Sections 2.7(d) and (e)  divided by the aggregate amount of all Warranty Claims made by the Indemnified Parties accepted by Sellers in accordance with terms of the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement and those determined to be valid pursuant to Sections 2.7(d) and (e) ; and

(iii) if the amount recalculated in Section 2.7(b)(i)(1) plus the amount recalculated in Section 2.7(b)(ii)(1) is more than the amount actually received by Buyer Indemnified Parties, the Partnership Indemnified Parties shall pay to the Buyer Indemnified Parties the amount of such difference;


(iv) if the amount recalculated in Section 2.7(b)(i)(2) plus the amount recalculated in Section 2.7(b)(ii)(2) is more than the amount actually received by Partnership Indemnified Parties, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall pay to the Partnership Indemnified Parties the amount of such difference; and

TRMC and the Operating Company shall control the procedures set forth in this Section 2.7 on behalf of the Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Partnership Indemnified Parties.

TRMC and the Operating Company shall have thirty (30) days to agree whether that Indemnity Claim would have been valid under the BP Purchase and Sale Agreement. Upon agreement as to a valid claim, the amount of that Indemnity Claim shall be included in the calculations made pursuant to Section 2.7(b) .

(b) On or before April 30th of each year, TRMC shall submit to the Partnership and the Operating Company TRMC’s calculation of its Total Equity Balance as of the end of the prior calendar year. Such calculation may be accompanied by (i) financial Schedules of Assets, Liabilities And Equity of TRMC as of December 31 of the prior calendar year and (ii) a Schedule of Revenue of TRMC, which may be unaudited, so long as they are certified as being true and correct in all material respects and with amounts determined in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States, consistently applied, by the Treasurer or Chief Financial Officer of TRMC, to such person’s actual knowledge.


(c) In the event that the calculation of TRMC’s Total Equity Balance submitted pursuant to Section 2.8(b) is less than the Indemnity Coverage Minimum, TRMC shall provide alternative surety within thirty (30) days, of a nature acceptable to the Partnership and the Operating Company, with consent not to be unreasonably withheld, for the full amount of the Indemnity Coverage Minimum until such time as TRMC delivers pursuant to Section 2.8(b) a calculation of its Total Equity Balance that is equal to or greater than the Indemnity Coverage Minimum. TRMC, the Partnership and the Operating Company agree that alternative surety that may be used by TRMC to meet its obligations under this Section 2.8(c) include, but are not limited to, (i) insurance, (ii) an irrevocable letter of credit and (iii) surety bond.

(d) The provisions of this Section 2.8 shall extend until the earlier of ten (10) years from the BP Closing Date or a Partnership Change of Control (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement).

(e) TRMC hereby represents and warrants to the other Parties as of the date hereof that its Total Equity Balance is greater than or equal to the Indemnity Coverage Minimum.

Section 2.9 Operating Company’s Right to Perform TRMC Remedial Work . From and after the BP Closing Date, should TRMC default in any obligation under this Agreement to perform TRMC Remedial Work, and if, as a consequence, a Governmental Authority or third party shall notify the Partnership or the Operating Company that either of them must perform any TRMC Remedial Work with respect to the Assets, the Partnership or the Operating Company, as applicable, shall notify TRMC of the same, TRMC shall promptly undertake the same, and TRMC shall immediately notify the relevant Governmental Authority or third party that TRMC shall respond to such notice in the place of the Partnership or the Operating Company, as applicable. However, if the Partnership or the Operating Company is compelled to undertake or pursue TRMC Remedial Work with respect to the Assets, or threatened with penalties or other adverse consequences (including damages, litigation, indemnification obligations, attorneys’ fees, etc.), then the Operating Company shall have the right and authority, but not the obligation, to conduct the TRMC Remedial Work with respect to the Assets at TRMC’s sole expense. The Operating Company shall have the right to install, maintain, operate, store, use and remove equipment, including monitoring wells, recovery wells and other assessment or remediation equipment, to remove, remediate, store and test soils and groundwater therefrom and thereon and to otherwise take all actions required to comply with Environmental Law. The Operating Company shall provide TRMC, within thirty (30) days of TRMC’s written request, copies of all correspondence between the Operating Company and a Governmental Authority or third party regarding the Operating Company’s activities with respect to the Assets where the TRMC Remedial Work is to be performed. TRMC shall not interfere with the Operating Company’s actions taken pursuant to this Section 2.9 , and shall cooperate with the Operating Company in obtaining any permits, consents or approvals necessary for the Operating Company to perform its actions taken with respect to the Assets. In the event the Operating Company undertakes to perform TRMC Remedial Work pursuant to this Section 2.9 , the Operating Company may seek any remedies available to it under this Agreement to immediately seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief for specific performance by TRMC of its obligation to perform TRMC Remedial Work, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to the Operating Company under this Section 2.9 , at law or in equity.

The Master Lease governs premises commonly known as Berth 121, a deep water, high capacity crude berth as shown on the drawing attached as Exhibit A to the Master Lease, together with the water area contiguous to Berth 121 as may be required for the berthing of vessels (the “ Premises ”).

B. Sublessor is a party to certain contracts related to the operation of the Premises identified on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “ Contracts ”).

C. Sublessor is the owner of certain leasehold improvements located on the Premises and used in connection with the operation of the Premises, including, without limitation, the items identified on Exhibit B attached hereto (the “ Current Leasehold Improvements ”).

D. Sublessee desires to sublease the Premises from Sublessor, and Sublessor desires to sublease the Premises to Sublessee on the terms set forth in this Sublease.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the parties acknowledge, Sublessor and Sublessee agree as follows:

1. Sublease of Premises . Sublessor hereby subleases the Premises to Sublessee, and Sublessee hereby subleases the Premises from Sublessor.

2. Term . The term of this Sublease (the “ Term ”) shall commence on the date Master Landlord grants consent to this Sublease (“ Commencement Date ”) and shall expire concurrently with the expiration of the Master Lease. As of the date of this Sublease and until the Commencement Date, Sublessee will operate the Premises pursuant to an operating agreement entered into by and between Sublessor and Sublessee. If Master Landlord requires material modifications to the terms of this Sublease as a condition of granting consent to the Sublease, either Sublessor or Sublessee shall have the right to refuse such modifications prior to Master Landlord granting such consent and the Sublease will not commence.

 

Exhibit A

Berth 121 Sublease Rights Agreement


3. Incorporation of Terms of Master Lease . Sublessee hereby acknowledges that it has read and is familiar with the provisions of the Master Lease and agrees that this Sublease is and shall remain in all respects subordinate to and subject to the Master Lease and any amendments, modifications or supplements to the Master Lease hereafter made. The terms, provisions, covenants, stipulations, conditions, rights, obligations, remedies and agreements contained in the Master Lease are incorporated herein by reference and are made a part hereof, and shall, as between Sublessor and Sublessee (as if Sublessor were the lessor under the Master Lease and Sublessee were the lessee under the Master Lease) constitute the terms of this Sublease. Sublessee hereby agrees to perform and comply with, for the benefit of Sublessor and Master Landlord, the obligations of the lessee under the Master Lease with respect to the Premises during the Term of this Sublease. Without limiting the foregoing:

(a) Sublessee shall make payment of all rent due under the Master Lease as and when required to be paid pursuant to the Master Lease. Such payment shall be made by Sublessee directly to Master Landlord, with concurrent notice thereof to Sublessor.

(b) Sublessee shall be responsible for paying required costs of maintenance and improvements as required under the Master Lease.

(c) Sublessee shall be responsible for maintaining all of the insurance required of the tenant under the Master Lease, endorsed to name Master Landlord and Sublessor as additional insureds and all insurance required by the Contracts, endorsed to name Sublessor as an additional insured. In addition, Sublessee shall obtain and keep in force a policy of excess liability coverage with a liability limit of $500,000,000, including coverage for pollution events, and all such insurance shall be endorsed to name Sublessor as an additional insured. Up to $100,000,000 of such insurance shall also be endorsed to name Master Landlord as an additional insured.

(d) Sublessee will operate the Premises in accordance with all legal and regulatory requirements.

(e) Sublessee shall be responsible for preparing and delivering to Master Landlord the financial statements required pursuant to Section 26 of the Master Lease.

During the term of the Sublease, so long as Sublessee is not in default hereunder, Sublessee shall have the right to enter into additional contracts relating to the Premises, provided that the same shall not obligate Sublessor and shall not bind Sublessor following termination of the Sublease unless Sublessor elects in its sole and absolute discretion to take an assignment of the same. In the latter event, Sublessee shall, upon termination of the Sublease, assign such contracts to Sublessor pursuant to an assignment in form and substance consistent with the Assignment of Contracts. In addition, the Contracts assigned to Sublessee by Sublessor pursuant to the Assignment of Contracts shall revert back to Sublessor or its successor upon termination of this Sublease or any succeeding or replacement sublease.

 

Exhibit A

Berth 121 Sublease Rights Agreement


(b) Any capital expenditures required by the Master Lease or the Contracts shall be made by Sublessee. Sublessee shall also make payments to Phillips 66 Company, a Delaware corporation (“ Phillips 66 ”), as and when required by the Contracts, with concurrent notice thereof to Sublessor.

(c) In the event of any default by Sublessee under the Contracts, Sublessor (in addition to any other remedies it may have) may cure such default and Sublessee shall promptly reimburse Sublessor for all of Sublessor’s costs in effecting such cure.

5. Leasehold Improvements . Subject to the terms of Section 8 below, effective upon the Commencement Date, Sublessor shall convey to Sublessee ownership of all of the Current Leasehold Improvements located on the Premises and owned by Sublessor as of the Commencement Date. Such conveyance shall be “as is” without representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever, express, implied or statutory. Concurrently with the execution of this Sublease, Sublessor shall execute a bill of sale in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “ Bill of Sale ”). Such Bill of Sale shall be deemed delivered by Sublessor to Sublessee only upon the commencement of this Sublease, and, if this Sublease does not commence, shall be void ab initio and of no effect. In the event of termination of this Sublease by reason of a default on the part of Sublessee, the Current Leasehold Improvements, together with any other leasehold improvements made subsequent to the Commencement Date (“ Future Leasehold Improvements” ; the Current Leasehold Improvements and the Future Leasehold Improvements being sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “ Leasehold Improvements ”), shall automatically become the property of Sublessor. In the event of an early termination of this Sublease not due to the fault of Sublessee, all such Leasehold Improvements shall be conveyed by Sublessee to Sublessor and Sublessor shall pay to Sublessee the fair market value of the Leasehold Improvements valued as of the date of termination and with fair market value calculated as provided below. In order to effect such conveyance (or, at Sublessor’s option in the event of a termination for Sublessee’s default, to confirm the ownership of such Leasehold Improvements), Sublessee shall take such actions and execute such documents as Sublessor may reasonably require, including, without limitation, execution of a bill of sale for such Leasehold Improvements. If Sublessee fails or refuses to execute such documents or take such actions, Sublessee hereby appoints Sublessor as its attorney-in-fact with authority to execute such documents and take such actions, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

 

Exhibit A

Berth 121 Sublease Rights Agreement


(a) Default : “Default” under this Sublease shall occur if either party shall fail to perform any of its material obligations hereunder (except when such failure shall be excused under other provisions hereof). Upon such default, the non-defaulting party shall have the option to terminate this Sublease as follows: (i) the non-defaulting party shall give written notice to the defaulting party stating specifically the default or breach relied upon by the non-defaulting party as justifying termination hereof. If said default or breach is not remedied within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice, if therein remediable, or if the defaulting party fails to commence promptly and attempt diligently to remedy the same where said default or breach is not remediable within thirty (30) days after receipt of said written notice, the non-defaulting party shall have the right to terminate this Sublease. If within such thirty (30) day period the defaulting party does remedy the default or breach, or commences promptly and attempts diligently to remedy or remove the same where not remediable within such thirty (30) day period, and fully indemnifies the non-defaulting party from any and all loss and liability resulting directly from such default or breach, the notice shall be withdrawn and this Sublease shall continue in full force and effect.

(b) Fair Market Value : The fair market value of the Leasehold Improvements shall be reasonably determined by Sublessor with such determination based on information regarding, without limitation, the nature of the particular Leasehold Improvement, its age and functionality, and the current sale price of similar improvements in the same industry, all as valued for their highest and best use at the time of termination of the Sublease. Sublessor shall provide Sublessee with written notice of the determination of the fair market value of the Leasehold Improvements within thirty (30) days after the termination of this Sublease. If Sublessee disagrees with Sublessor’s determination of the fair market value, and the parties cannot mutually agree upon the fair market value within twenty (20) days after the expiration of the thirty (30) day notice period, then the fair market value shall be determined by appraisal in the manner set forth below:

(i) The fair market value of the Leasehold Improvements shall be appraised by an appraiser with at least ten (10) years’ experience in the oil and gas appraisal sector chosen by Sublessor (“ First Appraisal ”) and the appraisal report forwarded to Sublessee. If the First Appraisal is deemed unacceptable by Sublessee, then Sublessee shall so advise Sublessor in writing within ten (10) working days after receipt of the First Appraisal and Sublessee shall have the right to engage an appraiser with at least ten (10) years’ experience in the oil and gas appraisal sector to appraise the Leasehold Improvements (“ Second Appraisal ”) and the appraisal report forwarded to Sublessor. In the event Sublessor shall deem the Second Appraisal to be unacceptable, then Sublessor shall advise Sublessee within ten (10) working days after receipt of the Second Appraisal, and the first appraiser and second appraiser shall together choose a third appraiser with at least ten (10) years’ experience in the oil and gas appraisal sector who shall appraise the Leasehold Improvements (“ Third Appraisal ”) and forward the appraisal report to Sublessor and Sublessee. The cost of the First Appraisal shall be borne by Sublessor, and the cost of the Second Appraisal shall be borne by Sublessee. The cost of the Third Appraisal shall be shared equally between Sublessor and Sublessee. The fair market value for the Leasehold Improvements shall be the average of the two (2) closest appraisals. Each of the appraisers shall appraise the Leasehold Improvements for their highest and best use.

 

Exhibit A

Berth 121 Sublease Rights Agreement


6. Rent Negotiations . Sublessee shall conduct the compensation negotiations required by Section 8 of the Master Lease. Sublessor shall have the right to approve the negotiated compensation, which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld. When the compensation has been adjusted, Sublessee shall pay the same.

7. Removal and Restoration Obligations . To the extent the Master Lease requires removal of Leasehold Improvements and restoration of the Premises at the end of the Master Lease term, Sublessee shall be responsible for such removal and restoration. Further, in the event this Sublease is terminated by reason of Sublessee’s default hereunder within the thirty-six month (36) period prior to expiration of the Master Lease term, Sublessee shall be responsible, in addition to all other damages arising from such default, for the cost incurred by Sublessor in effecting the removal and restoration required under the Master Lease.

8. Cross-Defaults . Certain other contracts, licenses or agreements related to the Premises shall be cross defaulted with this Sublease (each, individually, a “ Cross-Defaulted Agreement ” and collectively the “ Cross-Defaulted Agreements ”), which Cross Defaulted Agreements are listed on Exhibit E attached hereto. If Sublessee defaults under this Sublease and the Sublease is terminated as a result of such default, each of the Cross Defaulted Agreements shall concurrently terminate. If any of the Cross-Defaulted Agreements terminate, this Sublease shall concurrently terminate. The foregoing shall not limit Sublessor’s remedies arising from such default.

9. Consent of Master Landlord .

(a) Confidential Information and Exceptions Thereto . Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to retain the other Parties’ Confidential Information in confidence and not disclose the same to any third party nor use the same, except as authorized by the disclosing Party in writing or as expressly permitted in this Section 15. Each Party further agrees to take the same care with the other Party’s Confidential Information as it does with its own, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Excepted from these obligations of confidence and non-use is that information which:

(i) is available, or becomes available, to the general public without fault of the receiving Party;

(ii) was in the possession of the receiving Party on a non-confidential basis prior to receipt of the same from the disclosing Party (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that this exception shall not apply to information of Operator that was in the possession of Carson Cogen or any of its affiliates as a result of their ownership or operation of Berth 121 prior to the Execution Date);

(iii) is obtained by the receiving Party without an obligation of confidence from a third party who is rightfully in possession of such information and, to the receiving Party’s knowledge, is under no obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party; or

(iv) is independently developed by the receiving Party without reference to or use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

For the purpose of this Section 15, a specific item of Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing exceptions merely because it is embraced by, or underlies, more general information in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party.

(b) Required Disclosure . Notwithstanding Section 15(a) above, if the receiving Party becomes legally compelled to disclose the Confidential Information by a court, Governmental Authority or Applicable Law, or is required to disclose by the listing standards of any applicable securities exchange, any of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the receiving Party shall promptly advise the disclosing Party of such requirement to disclose Confidential Information as soon as the receiving Party becomes aware that such a requirement to disclose might become effective, in order that, where possible, the disclosing Party may seek a protective order or such other remedy as the disclosing Party may consider appropriate in the circumstances. The receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that it is required to disclose and shall cooperate with the disclosing Party in allowing the disclosing Party to obtain such protective order or other relief.


(c) Return of Confidential Information . Upon written request by the disclosing Party, all of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in whatever form shall be returned to the disclosing Party upon termination of this Agreement or destroyed with destruction certified by the receiving Party, without the receiving Party retaining copies thereof except that one copy of all such Confidential Information may be retained by a Party’s legal department solely to the extent that such Party is required to keep a copy of such Confidential Information pursuant to Applicable Law, and the receiving Party shall be entitled to retain any Confidential Information in the electronic form or stored on automatic computer back-up archiving systems during the period such backup or archived materials are retained under such Party’s customary procedures and policies; provided, however, that any Confidential Information retained by the receiving Party shall be maintained subject to confidentiality pursuant to the terms of this Section 15, and such archived or back-up Confidential Information shall not be accessed except as required by Applicable Law.

(d) Receiving Party Personnel . The receiving Party will limit access to the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party to those of its employees, attorneys and contractors that have a need to know such information in order for the receiving Party to exercise or perform its rights and obligations under this Agreement (the “ Receiving Party Personnel ”). The Receiving Party Personnel who have access to any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party will be made aware of the confidentiality provision of this Agreement, and will be required to abide by the terms thereof. Any third party contractors that are given access to Confidential Information of a disclosing Party pursuant to the terms hereof shall be required to sign a written agreement pursuant to which such Receiving Party Personnel agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, which written agreement will expressly state that it is enforceable against such Receiving Party Personnel by the disclosing Party.

(e) Survival . The obligation of confidentiality under this Section 15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years.

SECTION 16 MISCELLANEOUS

(a) Amendment or Modification . This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by the Parties. Any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be waived in writing at any time by the Party entitled to the benefits thereof. No waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or any breach thereof, will be effective unless in writing signed by a duly authorized individual on behalf of the Party against which the waiver is sought to be enforced. No waiver of any term or condition or of any breach of this Agreement will be deemed or will constitute a waiver of any other term or condition or of any later breach (whether or not similar), nor will such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

(b) Integration . This Agreement, together with the other agreements referred to herein, constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the Parties in connection therewith.

(c) Construction and Interpretation . In interpreting this Agreement, unless the context expressly requires otherwise, all of the following apply to the interpretation of this Agreement:

(i) Preparation of this Agreement has been a joint effort of the Parties and the resulting Agreement against one of the Parties as the drafting Party;

(ii) Plural and singular words each include the other.

(vii) The headings in this Agreement are included for convenience and do not affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of, or the rights or obligations of a Party under, this Agreement.

(d) Applicable Law; Forum, Venue and Jurisdiction . This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles; provided that any issues or claims arising out of the terms and conditions of the Berth 121 Port Lease, or rules and regulations of the POLB and the City will be governed by the laws of the State of California. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal court of competent jurisdiction situated in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division, or if such federal court declines to exercise or does not have jurisdiction, in the district court of Bexar County, Texas; provided that this limitation shall not prevent a party from joining the other party in an action in another forum involving the POLB and/or the City. The Parties expressly and irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of said court and irrevocably waive any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in such court, irrevocably waive any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and further irrevocably waive the right to object, with respect to such claim, action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court, that such court does not have jurisdiction over such Party. The Parties hereby irrevocably consent to the service of process by registered mail, postage prepaid, or by personal service within or without the State of Texas. Nothing contained herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.

(e) Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf)) for the convenience of the Parties hereto, each of which counterparts will be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together will constitute one and the same agreement.

(f) Severability . Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be valid and effective under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance will be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision hereof, and the Parties will negotiate in good faith with a view to substitute for such provision a suitable and equitable solution in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

(g) No Third Party Rights . Except as expressly provided herein, it is expressly understood that the provisions of this Agreement do not impart enforceable rights in anyone who is not a Party or successor or permitted assignee of a Party.

(h) Jury Waiver . EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PERFORMANCE OR FAILURE TO PERFORM OF ANY OBLIGATION HEREUNDER.


(i) Independent Contractor . Operator’s relationship to Carson Cogen hereunder shall be that of an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make Operator or any of its employees, an agent, associate, joint venture or partner of Carson Cogen.

3. Incorporation of Terms of Master Lease .

Exhibit A –

Terminal 2 Sublease Rights Agreement


4. Contracts .

(a) Concurrently with the execution of this Sublease, Sublessor and Sublessee shall execute an Assignment and Assumption of Contracts in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “ Assignment of Contracts ”). Such Assignment of Contracts shall be effective only upon the Commencement Date of this Sublease, and, if this Sublease does not commence, shall be void ab initio and of no effect. During the term of the Sublease, so long as Sublessee is not in default hereunder, Sublessee shall have the right to enter into additional contracts relating to the Premises, provided that the same shall not obligate Sublessor and shall not bind Sublessor following termination of the Sublease unless Sublessor elects in its sole and absolute discretion to take an assignment of the same. In the latter event, Sublessee shall, upon termination of the Sublease, assign such contracts to Sublessor pursuant to an assignment in form and substance consistent with the Assignment of Contracts. In addition, the Contracts assigned to Sublessee by Sublessor pursuant to the Assignment of Contracts shall revert back to Sublessor or its successor upon termination of this Sublease or any succeeding or replacement sublease.

(b) Any capital expenditure required by the Master Lease of the Contracts shall be made by Sublessee.

(c) In the event of any default by Sublessee under the Contracts, Sublessor (in addition to any other remedies it may have) may cure such default and Sublessee shall promptly reimburse Sublessor for all of Sublessor’s costs in effecting such cure.

5. Leasehold Improvements . Subject to the terms of Section 8 below, effective upon the Commencement Date, Sublessor shall convey to Sublessee ownership of all Leasehold Improvements located on the Premises and owned by Sublessor. Such conveyance shall be “as is” without representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever, express, implied or statutory. Concurrently with the execution of this Sublease, Sublessor shall execute a bill of sale in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “ Bill of Sale ”). Such Bill of Sale shall be deemed delivered by Sublessor to Sublessee only upon the commencement of this Sublease, and, if this Sublease does not commence, shall be void ab initio and of no effect. In the event of a termination of this Sublease (a) by reason of a default on the part of Sublessee; or (b) due to the expiration of the Master Lease, the foregoing Leasehold Improvements, together with any other improvements made subsequently, shall automatically become the property of Sublessor. In the event of an early termination of this Sublease not due to the expiration of the Master Lease and not due to the fault of Sublessor or Sublessee, all such Leasehold Improvements shall be conveyed by Sublessee to Sublessor and Sublessor shall pay to Sublessee the fair market value of the Leasehold Improvements valued as of the date of termination and with fair market value calculated as provided below. If the termination of the Sublease is by reason of Sublessor’s default or as a result of Sublessor’s election to terminate in accordance with the provisions of Section 10, below, in which case, in addition to any other obligations of Sublessor to Sublessee, all such Leasehold Improvements shall be conveyed by Sublessee to Sublessor and Sublessor shall pay to Sublessee the fair market value of the Leasehold Improvements valued as of the date of termination and with fair market value calculated as provided below. In order to effect such conveyance (or, at Sublessor’s option in the event of a termination for Sublessee’s default, to confirm the ownership of such improvements), Sublessee shall take such actions and execute such documents as Sublessor may reasonably require, including, without limitation, execution of a bill of sale for such improvements. If Sublessee fails or refuses to execute such documents or take such actions, Sublessee hereby appoints Sublessor as its attorney-in-fact with authority to execute such documents and take such actions, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

 

Exhibit A –

Terminal 2 Sublease Rights Agreement


(a) Default : “Default” under this Sublease shall occur if either party shall fail to perform any of its material obligations hereunder (except when such failure shall be excused under other provisions hereof). Upon such default, the non-defaulting party shall have the option to terminate this Sublease as follows: (i) the non-defaulting party shall give written notice to the defaulting party stating specifically the default or breach relied upon by the non-defaulting party as justifying termination hereof. If said default or breach is not remedied within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice, if therein remediable, or if the defaulting party fails to commence promptly and attempt diligently to remedy the same where said default or breach is not remediable within thirty (30) days after receipt of said written notice, the non-defaulting party shall have the right to terminate this Sublease. If within such thirty (30) day period the defaulting party does remedy the default or breach, or commences promptly and attempts diligently to remedy or remove the same where not remediable within such thirty (30) day period, and fully indemnifies the non-defaulting party from any and all loss and liability resulting directly from such default or breach, the notice shall be withdrawn and this Sublease shall continue in full force and effect.

(b) Fair Market Value : The fair market value of the Leasehold Improvements shall be reasonably determined by Sublessor with such determination based on information regarding, without limitation, the nature of the particular Leasehold Improvement, its age and functionality, and the current sale price of similar improvements in the same industry, all as valued for their highest and best use at the time of termination of the Sublease. Sublessor shall provide Sublessee with written notice of the determination of the fair market value of the Leasehold Improvements within thirty (30) days after the termination of this Sublease. If Sublessee disagrees with Sublessor’s determination of the fair market value, and the parties cannot mutually agree upon the fair market value within twenty (20) days after the expiration of the thirty (30) day notice period, then the fair market value shall be determined by appraisal in the manner set forth below:

(i) The fair market value of the Leasehold Improvements shall be appraised by an appraiser with at least ten (10) years’ experience in the oil and gas appraisal sector chosen by Sublessor (“ First Appraisal ”) and the appraisal report forwarded to Sublessee. If the First Appraisal is deemed unacceptable by Sublessee, then Sublessee shall so advise Sublessor in writing within ten (10) working days after receipt of the First Appraisal and Sublessee shall have the right to engage an appraiser with at least ten (10) years’ experience in the oil and gas appraisal sector to appraise the Leasehold Improvements (“ Second Appraisal ”) and the appraisal report forwarded to Sublessor. In the event Sublessor shall deem the Second Appraisal to be unacceptable, then Sublessor shall advise Sublessee within ten (10) working days after receipt of the Second Appraisal, and the first appraiser and second appraiser shall together choose a third appraiser with at least ten (10) years’ experience in the oil and gas appraisal sector who shall appraise the Leasehold Improvements (“ Third Appraisal ”) and forward the appraisal report to Sublessor and Sublessee. The cost of the First Appraisal shall be borne by Sublessor, and the cost of the Second Appraisal shall be borne by Sublessee. The cost of the Third Appraisal shall be shared equally between Sublessor and Sublessee. The fair market value for the Leasehold Improvements shall be the average of the two (2) closest appraisals. Each of the appraisers shall appraise the Leasehold Improvements for their highest and best use.

 

Exhibit A –

Terminal 2 Sublease Rights Agreement


6. Rent Negotiations . Sublessee shall conduct the compensation negotiations required by Section 5 of the Master Lease. Sublessor shall have the right to approve the negotiated compensation, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. When the compensation has been adjusted, Sublessee shall pay the same.

7. Removal and Restoration Obligations . To the extent the Master Lease requires removal of leasehold improvements and restoration of the Premises at the end of the Master Lease term, Sublessee shall be responsible for such removal and restoration. Further, in the event this Sublease is terminated by reason of Sublessee’s default hereunder within the thirty-six month (36) period prior to expiration of the Master Lease term, Sublessee shall be responsible, in addition to all other damages arising from such default, for the cost incurred by Sublessor in effecting the removal and restoration required under the Master Lease.

8. Cross-Defaults . Certain other contracts, licenses or agreements related to the Premises shall be cross defaulted with this Sublease (each, individually, a “ Cross-Defaulted Agreement ” and collectively the “ Cross-Defaulted Agreements ”), which Cross Defaulted Agreements are listed on Exhibit E attached hereto. If Sublessee defaults under this Sublease, such default shall be a default under each of the Cross-Defaulted Agreements. Any default by Sublessee under any of the Cross-Defaulted Agreements shall be a default under this Sublease. Without limitation on the above provisions or Sublessor’s other remedies as a result of any such default, any termination of this Sublease for any reason shall automatically terminate the Terminal 2 & 3 Lease, and any termination of the Terminal 2 & 3 Lease shall automatically terminate this Sublease.

9. Consent of Master Landlord . The commencement of this Sublease is conditioned upon the execution by Master Landlord of a consent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F , or such other form as Master Landlord may reasonably require. If, in connection with granting consent to the Sublease, Master Landlord requires material modifications to the terms hereof, either party shall have the right to refuse such modifications, in which case this Sublease shall be deemed rescinded and of no further force or effect.

 

Exhibit A –

Terminal 2 Sublease Rights Agreement


10. Early Right of Termination . If Sublessee desires to cease the conduct of operations from the Premises, Sublessee shall have the right to deliver to Sublessor a notice of such intent at least ninety (90) days prior to the intended date on which operations will cease, and Sublessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Sublease by delivering written notice to Sublessee. If Sublessor has not made such election prior to the date of such termination, Sublessor shall continue to have the right to terminate this Sublease at any time after Sublessee ceases operations and before Sublessee recommences operations from the Premises, to terminate this Sublease by delivering written notice to Sublessee. Unless and until Sublessee has given the foregoing notice to Sublessor of its intent to cease operations from the Premises, Sublessee shall continuously operate from the Premises to an extent reasonably consistent with prior operations from the Premises by Sublessor, and a failure of Sublessee to so operate, unless such failure is a result of casualty or other force majeure event, shall constitute a default on the part of Sublessee.

11. Amendments to Master Lease . Sublessee shall have the right to seek amendments to the terms of the Master Lease, which amendments shall be subject to Sublessor’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event of any such amendment, Sublessee shall be responsible for complying with the amended terms of the Master Lease, and Sublessee shall indemnify, defend and hold Sublessor harmless from and against any loss, cost or liability arising as a result of such amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublessor shall have no obligation to consent to an amendment of the Master Lease (i) that extends the term of the Master Lease unless Sublessor is released from all further liability under the Master Lease as of the date on which the Master Lease would otherwise have expired, or (ii) that increases the rent or other obligations of the tenant under the Master Lease unless Sublessor is relieved of liability for the increased rent or other obligations.

12. Master Lease Renewal . In the event Sublessor consummates a new master lease of the Premises following the expiration of the Master Lease, Sublessor shall negotiate in good faith with Sublessee for a new sublease based on the terms of the new master lease.

13. Counterparts . This Sublease may be signed by the parties in different counterparts and the signature pages combined to create one document binding on all parties.

ii. That in the event of one assured incurring liability to any other of the assureds, the policy shall cover the assured against whom claim is or may be made, in the same manner as if separate policies had been issued to each assured.

iii. That said policy or policies shall either contain a broad form of contractual liability coverage, including leases and land use agreements, or there shall be attached to said policy or policies an endorsement, providing that such insurance as is provided for therein shall apply to the obligations assumed by Tenant hereunder.

a. Landlord, and its officers and employees shall not be liable for the payment of any premiums or assessments on said policies.

b. Such insurance provided by Tenant may provide for such deductibles or self-insured retention as shall be acceptable to Landlord.

c. Tenant shall deliver a certified or photostatic copy of said policies of insurance or a certificate in a form acceptable to Landlord for approval as to sufficiency and as to form. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of any such policy, a certificate showing that such insurance coverage has been renewed or extended, shall be filed with Landlord. If such coverage is cancelled or reduced, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such cancellation or reduction of coverage, file with Landlord a certificate showing that the required insurance has been reinstated or provided through another insurance company or companies, and evidence of said policy shall be submitted for approval as herein provided. Tenant agrees to suspend and cease all operations hereunder on the Premises during such periods of time as the required insurance coverage is not in effect.

d. The Parties hereto agree that the minimum limits of coverage of both the liability and property insurance shall be reviewed in conjunction with the compensation renegotiation (as provided in Paragraph 3.02), for the purpose of determining whether or not the minimum limits of coverage should be increased or decreased. When the new minimum limits of coverage shall have been determined, and if such minimum limits are to be increased, Tenant shall proceed diligently to obtain such additional coverage.

Workers’ Compensation

13.03. In addition to the liability insurance specified above, Tenant shall maintain at all times during the term of this Lease workers’ compensation and employer’s liability insurance, or maintain an approved program of self-insurance, and shall provide to Landlord evidence of such insurance, or a Certificate of Consent to Self-Insure, meeting the requirements of the Labor Code of the State of California.

ARTICLE 14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE

14.01.

Concurrently with the execution of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an assignment and assumption of contracts (“ Assignment and Assumption of Contracts ”) in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto. The Assignment and Assumption of Contracts shall be effective upon the Commencement Date,

14.03. During the term of the Lease, as long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease after receipt of written notice and an opportunity to cure, Tenant has the right to enter into additional contracts related to the Premises, provided such contracts shall not obligate Landlord and shall not bind Landlord following termination of the Lease unless Landlord elects in its sole discretion to take an assignment of such contracts pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement similar in form and substance to the Assignment and Assumption of Contracts from Landlord to Tenant. Upon termination of the Lease, those contracts assumed by Tenant pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption of Contracts and those contracts which Landlord has agreed to assume from Tenant, will revert back to Landlord, or its successor, upon termination of the Lease or any succeeding or replacement lease to the Lease.

ARTICLE 15. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

Termination on Default

15.01. Default under this Lease shall occur if either Party shall fail to perform any of its material obligations hereunder (except when such failure shall be excused under other provisions hereof). Except as otherwise specifically noted in this Lease to the contrary, if Tenant defaults in performing any covenant or term of this Lease and does not correct the default within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord to Tenant, Landlord may declare this Lease, and all rights and interest created by it, terminated; provided, however, that in the event such default cannot, in the exercise of reasonable diligence, be cured within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord may not exercise its remedies under this Article unless Tenant (i) fails to commence the cure of the default within such thirty (30) day period, or (ii) thereafter fails to proceed with curative measures with reasonable diligence. If Landlord elects to terminate, this Lease will cease as if the day of Landlord’s election were the day originally fixed in the Lease for its expiration, and Landlord or its agent or attorney may resume possession of the Premises.

 

Exhibit A –

a. Certain other contracts, licenses or agreements related to the Premises shall be cross defaulted with the Lease (each, individually, a “ Cross-Defaulted Agreement ” and collectively the “ Cross-Defaulted Agreements ”), which Cross-Defaulted Agreements are listed on Exhibit D attached hereto. If Tenant defaults under this Lease, such default shall be a default under each of the Cross Defaulted Agreements. Any default by Tenant under any of the Cross-Defaulted Agreements shall be a default under this Lease. Without limitation on the above provisions or Landlord’s other remedies as a result of any such default, any termination of this Lease for any reason shall automatically terminate the Terminal 2 Sublease, and any termination of the Terminal 2 Sublease shall automatically terminate this Lease.

Other Remedies

15.02. Any termination of this Lease as provided in this Article will not relieve Tenant from paying any sum or sums due and payable to Landlord under the Lease at the time of termination, or any claim for damages then or previously accruing against Tenant under this Lease. Any such termination will not prevent Landlord from enforcing the payment of any such sum or sums or claim for damages by any remedy provided for by law, or from recovering damages from Tenant for any default under the Lease. All Landlord’s rights, options, and remedies under this Lease will be construed to be cumulative, and no one of them is exclusive of the other. Landlord may pursue any or all such remedies or any other remedy or relief provided by law, whether or not stated in this Lease. No waiver by Landlord of a breach of any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease may be construed a waiver of any succeeding or preceding breach of the same or any other covenant or condition of this Lease.

ARTICLE 16. DISCLAIMER; COVENANTS

Disclaimer of Warranties

16.01. TENANT IS LEASING THE PREMISES “AS-IS”, WITH ANY AND ALL LATENT AND PATENT DEFECTS.

No Waiver

17.03. No waiver by either Party of any default or breach of any covenant or term of this Lease may be treated as a waiver of any subsequent default or breach of the same or any other covenant or term of this Lease.

Release of Landlord

17.04.

Underlying this release is the Parties’ intent that Landlord’s covenants and obligations under this Lease will bind Landlord and its successors and assigns only during and in respect of their respective successive periods of ownership of the fee.

(ii) the Party (1) files a petition or otherwise commences, authorizes or acquiesces in the commencement of a proceeding or cause of action under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar Applicable Law, or has any such petition filed or commenced against it, (2) makes an assignment or any general arrangement for the benefit of creditors, (3) otherwise becomes bankrupt or insolvent (however evidenced) or (4) has a liquidator, administrator, receiver, trustee, conservator or similar official appointed with respect to it or any substantial portion of its property or assets.

SECTION 13 FORCE MAJEURE

If a Party is unable to perform or is delayed in performing, in whole or in part, its obligations under this Agreement, other than the obligation to pay funds when due as a result of an event of Force Majeure at the Berths, then that Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the event of Force Majeure with reasonably full particulars and timing of such event. Such Party also shall promptly notify the other Party when the event of Force Majeure terminates or no longer adversely affects its ability to perform under this Agreement. The obligations of the Party giving notice, so far as they are affected by the event of Force Majeure, shall be suspended during, but not longer than, the continuance of the Force Majeure event. The affected Party must act with commercially reasonable diligence to resume performance, but it shall not be required to expend funds to settle strikes, lockouts or other labor difficulty. A Party’s inability economically to perform its obligations hereunder does not constitute an event of Force Majeure. If Operator is excused from providing services due to an event of Force Majeure, other than any fees that are already due and payable hereunder, any other fees incurred by TRMC during the event of Force Majeure shall be excused or proportionately reduced, as appropriate, for so long as Operator’s performance is so excused due to the event of Force Majeure. In the event the Berths or any part thereof is destroyed or damaged to such extent as to make them unusable, then the Parties shall consult, subject to the terms and provisions of the Terminal 2 Lease, whether or not to repair, replace, or rebuild. An event of Force Majeure shall not extend the term of this Agreement. If an event of Force Majeure materially affects either Party’s performance under this Agreement and exists with respect to a Marine Terminal for twelve (12) Months, then either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without further costs or obligation to the other Party.

SECTION 14 ASSIGNMENT

As of the Execution Date, General Partner shall assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to Partnership. Partnership shall immediately assign its rights and obligations hereunder to Operator. Upon such assignment to Operator, Operator shall have all of the respective rights and obligations set forth herein.


Except as otherwise provided in this Section 14 , TRMC shall not transfer, assign, or convey its interests hereunder, in whole or in part, to a third party without the written consent of Operator, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Operator may assign its interest hereunder without consent from TRMC to any subsidiary or affiliated company. Operator may assign its interest hereunder to any new lessee or sublessee of the Berths with written consent from TRMC in the event Operator assigns or subleases its interest in the Terminal 2 Lease prior to the date of the Sublease. Operator shall be permitted to make a collateral assignment of this Agreement solely to secure working capital financing for Operator. A Party making a permitted assignment shall notify the other Party in writing at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such assignment.

SECTION 18 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

(a) Confidential Information and Exceptions Thereto . Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to retain the other Parties’ Confidential Information in confidence and not disclose the same to any third party nor use the same, except as authorized by the disclosing Party in writing or as expressly permitted in this Section 18 . Each Party further agrees to take the same care with the other Party’s Confidential Information as it does with its own, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Excepted from these obligations of confidence and non-use is that information which:

(i) is available, or becomes available, to the general public without fault of the receiving Party;


(ii) was in the possession of the receiving Party on a non-confidential basis prior to receipt of the same from the disclosing Party (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that this exception shall not apply to information of Operator that was in the possession of TRMC or any of its affiliates as a result of their ownership or operation of Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 prior to commencement date of the BAUTA);

(iii) is obtained by the receiving Party without an obligation of confidence from a third party who is rightfully in possession of such information and, to the receiving Party’s knowledge, is under no obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party; or

(iv) is independently developed by the receiving Party without reference to or use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

For the purpose of this Section 18 , a specific item of Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing exceptions merely because it is embraced by, or underlies, more general information in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party.

(b) Required Disclosure . Notwithstanding Section 18(a) above, if the receiving Party becomes legally compelled to disclose the Confidential Information by a court, Governmental Authority or Applicable Law, or is required to disclose by the listing standards of any applicable securities exchange, any of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the receiving Party shall promptly advise the disclosing Party of such requirement to disclose Confidential Information as soon as the receiving Party becomes aware that such a requirement to disclose might become effective, in order that, where possible, the disclosing Party may seek a protective order or such other remedy as the disclosing Party may consider appropriate in the circumstances. The receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that it is required to disclose and shall cooperate with the disclosing Party in allowing the disclosing Party to obtain such protective order or other relief.

(c) Return of Confidential Information . Upon written request by the disclosing Party, all of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in whatever form shall be returned to the disclosing Party upon termination of this Agreement or destroyed with destruction certified by the receiving Party, without the receiving Party retaining copies thereof except that one copy of all such Confidential Information may be retained by a Party’s legal department solely to the extent that such Party is required to keep a copy of such Confidential Information pursuant to Applicable Law, and the receiving Party shall be entitled to retain any Confidential Information in the electronic form or stored on automatic computer back-up archiving systems during the period such backup or archived materials are retained under such Party’s customary procedures and policies; provided, however, that any Confidential Information retained by the receiving Party shall be maintained subject to confidentiality pursuant to the terms of this Section 18 , and such archived or back-up Confidential Information shall not be accessed except as required by Applicable Law.

(d) Receiving Party Personnel . The receiving Party will limit access to the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party to those of its employees, attorneys and contractors that have a need to know such information in order for the receiving Party to exercise or perform its rights and obligations under this Agreement (the “ Receiving Party Personnel ”). The Receiving Party Personnel who have access to any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party will be made aware of the confidentiality provision of this Agreement, and will be required to abide by the terms thereof. Any third party contractors that are given access to Confidential Information of a disclosing Party pursuant to the terms hereof shall be required to sign a written agreement pursuant to which such Receiving Party Personnel agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, which written agreement will expressly state that it is enforceable against such Receiving Party Personnel by the disclosing Party.


(e) Survival . The provisions of this Section 18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for two (2) years.

SECTION 19 MISCELLANEOUS

(a) Modification; Waiver . This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by the Parties. Any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be waived in writing at any time by the Party entitled to the benefits thereof. No waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing signed by a duly authorized individual on behalf of the Party against which the waiver is sought to be enforced. No waiver of any term or condition or of any breach of this Agreement will be deemed or will constitute a waiver of any other term or condition or of any later breach (whether or not similar), nor will such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

(b) Integration . This Agreement, together with the Terminal Service Orders and the other agreements executed on the date hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Tranche 2 Contribution Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the Parties in connection therewith. In the event of a conflict of provisions of this Agreement and the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and among the Partnership, the General Partner, TRMC, Operator, and Tesoro Corporation (“ Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement ”), the provisions of the Carson Asset Indemnity Agreement shall prevail with respect to issues related to the contribution of the assets described therein, but not with respect to the ordinary operations of such assets as set forth in this Agreement.

(vi) References to the Parties include their respective successors and permitted assignees.

(vii) The headings in this Agreement are included for convenience and do not affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of, or the rights or obligations of a Party under, this Agreement.


(d) Governing Law; Jurisdiction . This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles; provided that any issues or claims arising out of the terms and conditions of the Terminal 2 Lease, or rules and regulations of the POLB and the City will be governed by the laws of the State of California. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal court of competent jurisdiction situated in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division, or if such federal court declines to exercise or does not have jurisdiction, in the District Court of Bexar County, Texas; provided that this limitation shall not prevent a party from joining the other party in an action in another forum involving the POLB and/or the City. The Parties expressly and irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of said courts and irrevocably waive any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this agreement brought in such courts, irrevocably waive any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and further irrevocably waive the right to object, with respect to such claim, action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court, that such court does not have jurisdiction over such Party. The Parties hereby irrevocably consent to the service of process by registered mail, postage prepaid, or by personal service within or without the State of Texas. Nothing contained herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.

(e) Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf)) for the convenience of the Parties hereto, each of which counterparts will be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together will constitute one and the same agreement.

(f) Severability . Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be valid and effective under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance will be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision hereof, and the Parties will negotiate in good faith with a view to substitute for such provision a suitable and equitable solution in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

(g) Independent Contractor . Operator’s relationship to TRMC hereunder shall be that of an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make Operator or any of its employees, an agent, associate, joint venturer or partner of TRMC.

(h) No Public Use . Operator’s services hereunder shall not be deemed those of a public utility or common carrier. If any action is taken or threatened to declare these services a public use, then, upon notifying TRMC, Operator may (i) restructure and restate this Agreement, provided that such restructuring and restatement does not increase the charges that TRMC is obligated to pay or prevent TRMC from meeting its minimum throughput volume obligations under the Long Beach Berth Throughput Agreement, or (ii) terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice.

(i) No Bonded Services . Operator is not providing a U.S. Customs bonded warehouse service.

(j) No Third Party Beneficiaries . Except as expressly set forth herein, including as set forth in Sections 10 and 11 , it is expressly understood that the provisions of this Agreement do not impart enforceable rights in anyone who is not a Party or successor or permitted assignee of a Party.

(k) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL . EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PERFORMANCE OR FAILURE TO PERFORM OF ANY OBLIGATION HEREUNDER.

Such Party also shall promptly notify the other Party when the event of Force Majeure terminates or no longer adversely affects its ability to perform under this Agreement. The obligations of the Party giving notice, so far as they are affected by the event of Force Majeure, shall be suspended during, but not longer than, the continuance of the Force Majeure event. The affected Party must act with commercially reasonable diligence to resume performance, but it shall not be required to expend funds to settle strikes, lockouts or other labor difficulty. A Party’s inability economically to perform its obligations hereunder does not constitute an event of Force Majeure. If Operator is excused from providing services due to an event of Force Majeure, other than any fees that are already due and payable hereunder, any other fees incurred by Customer during the event of Force Majeure shall be excused or proportionately reduced, as appropriate, for so long as Operator’s performance is so excused due to the event of Force Majeure. In the event the Berths or any part thereof is destroyed or damaged to such extent as to make them unusable, then Operator, in its sole discretion, subject to the terms and provisions of the Leases, the Subleases and the Berth 121 Joint Use Agreement, may elect whether or not to repair, replace, or rebuild. An event of Force Majeure shall not extend the term of this Agreement.

Operator shall be permitted to make a collateral assignment of this Agreement solely to secure working capital financing for Operator.

(ii) OCR Adjustments . If, at any time during a Contract Year, Operator determines in its commercially reasonable discretion that the then-applicable OCR is not sufficient in amount to reflect Operator’s actual OCR related operating costs for Terminal 2 or the Long Beach Terminal, then Operator may revise the OCR by providing Customer with thirty (30)-days prior written notice of such revised OCR, such notice to contain all reasonable backup information in respect of the revised OCR.

(iii) Total Fee Adjustment .

In such event, Operator shall adjust Customer’s future fees for such Marine Terminals such that Customer’s total per-Barrel fees at Terminal 2 or the Long Beach Terminal are no more than any customer, other than Shell Lubes, at such Marine Terminals.

Each Party shall be responsible for compliance with all Applicable Law associated with such Party’s respective performance hereunder and the operation of such Party’s facilities. In the event any action or obligation imposed upon a Party under this Agreement shall at any time be in conflict with any requirement of Applicable Law, then this Agreement shall immediately be modified to conform the action or obligation so adversely affected to the requirements of the Applicable Law, and all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain effective.

(c) Material Change in Applicable Law . If during the Term, any new Applicable Law becomes effective or any existing Applicable Law or its interpretation is materially changed, which change is not addressed by another provision of this Agreement, the Long Beach Agreements or a Terminal Service Order and which has a material adverse economic impact upon a Party, either Party, acting in good faith, shall have the option to request renegotiation of the relevant provisions of this Agreement, the Long Beach Agreements or a Terminal Service Order with respect to future performance. The Parties shall then meet to negotiate in good faith amendments to this Agreement, the Long Beach Agreements or an applicable Terminal Service Order that will conform to the new Applicable Law while preserving the Parties’ economic, operational, commercial and competitive arrangements in accordance with the understandings set forth herein.

SECTION 9 DEFAULT

(a) A Party shall be in default under this Agreement if:

(i) the Party breaches any provision of this Agreement, a Terminal Service Order or any of the Related Agreements (but with respect to the SoCal Transportation Services Agreement, only with respect to the pipelines that transport Product to and from the Marine Terminals), which breach has a material adverse effect on the other Party, and such breach is not excused by Force Majeure or cured within fifteen (15) Business Days after notice thereof (which notice shall describe such breach in reasonable detail) is received by such Party (unless such failure is not commercially reasonably capable of being cured in such fifteen (15) Business Day period in which case such Party shall have commenced remedial action to cure such breach and shall continue to diligently and timely pursue the completion of such remedial action after such notice); or

(ii) the Party (1) files a petition or otherwise commences, authorizes or acquiesces in the commencement of a proceeding or cause of action under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar Applicable Law, or has any such petition filed or commenced against it, (2) makes an assignment or any general arrangement for the benefit of creditors, (3) otherwise becomes bankrupt or insolvent (however evidenced) or (4) has a liquidator, administrator, receiver, trustee, conservator or similar official appointed with respect to it or any substantial portion of its property or assets.

(b) If either of the Parties is in default as described above, then (i) if Customer is in default, Operator may or (ii) if Operator is in default, Customer may: (1) terminate this Agreement upon notice to the defaulting Party; (2) withhold any payments due to the defaulting Parties under this Agreement; and/or (3) pursue any other remedy at law or in equity.

Such Party also shall promptly notify the other Party when the event of Force Majeure terminates or no longer adversely affects its ability to perform under this Agreement. The obligations of the Party giving notice, so far as they are affected by the event of Force Majeure, shall be suspended during, but not longer than, the continuance of the Force Majeure event. The affected Party must act with commercially reasonable diligence to resume performance, but it shall not be required to expend funds to settle strikes, lockouts or other labor difficulty. A Party’s inability economically to perform its obligations hereunder does not constitute an event of Force Majeure. If Operator is excused from providing services due to an event of Force Majeure, other than any fees that are already due and payable hereunder, any other fees incurred by Customer during the event of Force Majeure shall be excused or proportionately reduced, as appropriate, for so long as Operator’s performance is so excused due to the event of Force Majeure. An event of Force Majeure shall not extend the Term. If an event of Force Majeure materially affects either Party’s performance under this Agreement and exists for twelve (12) Months, then either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without further costs or obligation to the other Party.

(a) As of the Execution Date, the General Partner shall assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to the Partnership.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11, Customer shall not transfer, assign, or convey its interests hereunder, in whole or in part, to a third party without the written consent of the Operator, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Operator may assign its interest hereunder without consent from Customer to any subsidiary or affiliated company. Operator shall be permitted to make a collateral assignment of this Agreement solely to secure working capital financing for Operator. Customer may assign its interest hereunder without consent from Operator to any subsidiary or affiliated company or any purchaser of the Refineries, provided that such purchaser meets acceptable credit standards to be determined in Operator’s commercially reasonable discretion. A Party making a permitted assignment shall notify the other Party in writing at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such assignment.


(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer shall have the right to sublease or assign any portion of its Minimum Marine Throughput Volume solely with respect to throughput or other rights related to Terminal 2 or the Long Beach Terminal to any third party without Operator’s consent, subject to Operator’s approval of acceptable credit standards of such third party, to be determined in Operator’s commercially reasonable discretion, and any such assignee or sublessee shall agree to comply with all the operating procedures and practices of this Agreement and the applicable Long Beach Agreements.

(d) Upon termination of this Agreement, and the entry into a new marine terminal use and throughput agreement by Customer and Operator pursuant to Section 22(c) of the BAUTA, both Customer and Operator agree to enter into a new throughput agreement that (i) is consistent with the terms set forth in this Agreement, (ii) relates to the same assets that are the subject matter of this Agreement, and (iii) has commercial terms that are, in the aggregate, equal to or more favorable to Operator than fair market value terms as would be agreed by similarly-situated parties negotiating at arm’s length; provided, however, that the term of any such new throughput agreement shall be based on Refinery requirements, conditioned on Operator’s continued operation of the Marine Terminals on terms and conditions acceptable to the Operator.

(e) Customer’s obligations hereunder shall not terminate in connection with a Partnership Change of Control.

(b) Dedicated storage pursuant to Section 6 below; and

(c) Certain other services pursuant to Sections 7-10 below and other services agreed to be provided pursuant to a Terminal Service Order (the “ Ancillary Services ”).

5. THROUGHPUT

(a) Terminalling Service Fee . During the Term and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, TLO shall make available to TRMC at all times commingled storage and throughput capacity for truck rack movements at each respective Terminal sufficient to allow TRMC to throughput the Reserved Capacity for such Terminal, and TRMC shall pay the Terminalling Service Fee for such service, as set forth in a Terminal Service Order. Allocation of storage and throughput capacity for separate Products at each Terminal shall be set forth in a Terminal Service Order, if applicable. TLO shall not make any commitments to third parties that would interfere with the ability of TRMC to throughput the Reserved Capacity.

(b) Excess Capacity . TRMC may throughput volumes in excess of the Reserved Capacity, up to the then-available capacity of each Terminal, net of any third-party commitments, as determined by TLO at any time, which allocation of any excess capacity shall be in accordance with current practices, or as otherwise may be set forth in a Terminal Service Order.

(c) Removal of Equipment from Service . If at any time during the Term, any tank, rack or other equipment or facility of TLO that is dedicated to TRMC or otherwise being used to provide services hereunder, is removed from service, and if removal of such tank, rack or other equipment or facility from service restricts TRMC from being able to throughput the Reserved Capacity and receive associated Ancillary Services at the Terminal where such tank, rack or other equipment or facility is located, then until such tank, rack or other equipment or facility is restored to service, TRMC’s Minimum Throughput Commitment shall be reduced by the difference between the Stipulated Volume and the amount that TRMC can effectively throughput at such location without restriction until such tank, rack or other equipment or facility is restored to service. In the event at any time this Agreement is terminated as to one or more Terminals, as provided herein, then the Minimum Throughput Commitment shall thereafter be reduced by the applicable Stipulated Volume for each Terminal that is no longer subject to this Agreement.


(d) Shortfall Payments . “ Minimum Throughput Commitment ” means the aggregate Stipulated Volume (on a Monthly average basis) in bpd as set forth for all Terminals on Schedule A attached hereto; provided however, that the Minimum Throughput Commitment during the Month in which the Commencement Date occurs shall be prorated in accordance with the ratio of the number of days including and following the Commencement Date in such Month to the total number of days in such Month. If during any Month during the Term, TRMC throughputs aggregate volumes greater than the Minimum Throughput Commitment, then TRMC shall pay TLO an amount equal to the weighted average of the amounts for each Terminal the volumes throughput by TRMC in excess of the Stipulated Volume for such Terminal multiplied by the Terminalling Service Fee paid by TRMC for that Terminal (the “ Excess Amount ”). If, during any Month during the Term, TRMC throughputs aggregate volumes less than the Minimum Throughput Commitment for such Month, then TRMC shall pay TLO an amount (a “ Shortfall Payment ”) for any shortfall. Shortfall Payments shall be equal to the weighted average of the amounts for each Terminal of the Terminalling Service Fee paid by TRMC during that Month and the monthly shortfall at that Terminal. The dollar amount of any Shortfall Payment paid by TRMC shall be posted as a credit to TRMC’s account and may be applied against any Excess Amounts owed by TRMC during any of the succeeding three (3) Months. For informational purposes only, attached as Exhibit 2 hereto is a sample calculation demonstrating the Shortfall Payment and its application. Credits will be applied in the order in which such credits accrue and any remaining portion of the credit that is not used by TRMC during the succeeding three (3) Months shall expire ( e.g ., a credit that accrues in January will be available in February, March and April, will expire at the end of April, and must be applied prior to applying any credit which accrues in February).

(e) Third Party Throughput Credit . If TLO throughputs volumes from third parties (other than Replacement Customers) at the Terminals during any Month, such volumes shall be applied as a credit against the Minimum Throughput Commitment, up to a maximum of 6,500 bpd. All volumes throughput by Replacement Customers shall be applied as a credit against the Minimum Throughput Commitment.

6. DEDICATED STORAGE

(a) Storage Services Fee . TRMC shall pay a Monthly fee (the “ Storage Services Fee ”) to reserve, on a firm basis, all of the existing aggregate Shell Capacity of certain tanks (the “ Dedicated Tanks ”) as specified on a Terminal Service Order. Such fee shall be payable by TRMC on a Monthly basis throughout the Term of the Agreement, regardless of the actual volumes of Products stored by TLO on behalf of TRMC; provided, however, that the Parties shall from time to time negotiate an appropriate adjustment to such fee if the following conditions are met: (i) TRMC requires the full Operating Capacity of the Dedicated Tanks, (ii) the full Operating Capacity of the Tanks is not available to TRMC for any reason (other than any reason resulting from or relating to actions or inactions by TRMC), and (iii) TLO is unable to otherwise accommodate the actual volumes of Products required to be stored by TRMC pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed, such adjustment shall be made in proportion to the reduction in Operating Capacity for any time period compared with the Operating Capacity then in effect for the affected Dedicated Tanks pursuant to the mutually agreed Terminal Service Orders. The Parties recognize that the existing Operating Capacity of certain tanks is less than the Shell Capacity of such Dedicated Tanks, but the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Storage Services Fee shall be set in terms of a dollar-per-Barrel per Month rate based on Shell Capacity in the applicable Terminal Service Order. Such Storage Services Fee shall include all storage, pumping, and transshipment between and among the Dedicated Tanks.


(b) Calculation of Storage Services Fee . The Storage Services Fee shall be calculated using the per Barrel rate set forth on the initial Terminal Service Order executed effective as of the Commencement Date for the then-existing aggregate Shell Capacity of the tanks specified in such initial Terminal Service Order. The Storage Services Fee owed during the Month in which the Commencement Date occurs, if less than a full calendar Month, shall be prorated in accordance with the ratio of (i) the number of days in such Month during which this Agreement is effective to (ii) the total number of days in such Month.

7. PRODUCT DOWNGRADE AND INTERFACE

TLO shall account for the volume of Product downgraded, and TRMC’s inventory of Products and/or interface shall be adjusted, provided that, interface volume (“ Transmix ”) received shall be allocated (a) in the case of dedicated storage, entirely to TRMC and (b) in the case of commingled storage, among TRMC and other customers receiving Products generating such Transmix in the same shipment or stored in commingled storage in proportion to each customer’s volume of Products in such shipment or storage. TRMC shall remove its Transmix upon notice from TLO and shall be subject to applicable Transmix handling fees upon its removal, as provided in a Terminal Service Order. If Transmix is not removed within fifteen (15) Business Days after notification (such time period to be extended to the extent of any delay or hindrance by TLO, its agents or contractors for any reason), TLO shall have the right to sell such Transmix at market rates and return any proceeds to TRMC, less applicable Transmix handling fees in effect at the time of such sale. Product downgraded as a result of ordinary Terminal or pipeline operations including line flushing, rack meter provings or other necessary Terminals operations shall not constitute losses for which TLO is liable to TRMC.

(c) Written Claim . Neither Party shall be obligated to indemnify the other Party or be liable to the other Party unless a written claim for indemnity is delivered to the other Party within ninety (90) days after the date that a claim is reported or discovered, whichever is earlier.

(d) No Limitation . Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, the scope of these indemnity provisions may not be altered, restricted, limited, or changed by any other provision of this Agreement. The indemnity obligations of the Parties as set out in this Section 24 are independent of any insurance requirements as set out in Section 25 , and such indemnity obligations shall not be lessened or extinguished by reason of a Party’s failure to obtain the required insurance coverages or by any defenses asserted by a Party’s insurers.


(e) Survival . These indemnity obligations shall survive the termination of this Agreement until all applicable statutes of limitation have run regarding any claims that could be made with respect to the activities contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) Mutual and Express Acknowledgement . THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN EXPRESSLY NEGOTIATED IN EVERY DETAIL, ARE INTENDED TO BE GIVEN FULL AND LITERAL EFFECT, AND SHALL BE APPLICABLE WHETHER OR NOT THE LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, CLAIMS, JUDGMENTS, LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES OR DAMAGES IN QUESTION ARISE OR AROSE SOLELY OR IN PART FROM THE GROSS, ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER FAULT OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS STATEMENT COMPLIES WITH THE EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE RULE AND CONSTITUTES CONSPICUOUS NOTICE. NOTICE IN THIS CONSPICUOUS NOTICE IS NOT INTENDED TO PROVIDE OR ALTER THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES, ALL OF WHICH ARE SPECIFIED ELSEWHERE IN THIS AGREEMENT.

(g) Third Party Indemnification . If any Party has the rights to indemnification from a third party, the indemnifying party under this Agreement shall have the right of subrogation with respect to any amounts received from such third-party indemnification claim.

25. INSURANCE

(a) Minimum Limits . At all times during the Term and for a period of two (2) years after termination of this Agreement for any coverage maintained on a “claims-made” or “occurrence” basis, TRMC and/or its Carrier (if applicable) shall maintain at their expense the below listed insurance in the amounts specified below which are minimum requirements. TRMC shall require that Carrier cause all of its contractors providing authorized drivers or authorized vehicles, to carry such insurance, and TRMC shall be liable to TLO for their failure to do so. Such insurance shall provide coverage to TLO and such policies, other than Worker’s Compensation Insurance, shall include TLO as an Additional Insured. Each policy shall provide that it is primary to and not contributory with any other insurance, including any self-insured retention, maintained by TLO (which shall be excess) and each policy shall provide the full coverage required by this Agreement. All such insurance shall be written with carriers and underwriters acceptable to TLO, and eligible to do business in the states where the Terminals are located and having and maintaining an A.M. Best financial strength rating of no less than “A-” and financial size rating no less than “VII”; provided that TRMC and/or the Carrier may procure worker’s compensation insurance from the state fund of the state where the Terminal(s) are located. All limits listed below are required MINIMUM LIMITS:

(i) Workers Compensation and Occupational Disease Insurance which fully complies with Applicable Law of the state where each Terminal is located, in limits not less than statutory requirements;


(ii) Employers Liability Insurance with a minimum limit of $1,000,000 for each accident, covering injury or death to any employee which may be outside the scope of the worker’s compensation statute of the jurisdiction in which the worker’s service is performed, and in the aggregate as respects occupational disease;

(iii) Commercial General Liability Insurance, including contractual liability insurance covering Carrier’s indemnity obligations under this Agreement, with minimum limits of $1,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage liability, or such higher limits as may be required by TLO or by Applicable Law from time to time. This policy shall include Broad Form Contractual Liability insurance coverage which shall specifically apply to the obligations assumed in this Agreement by TRMC;

(iv) Automobile Liability Insurance covering all owned, non-owned and hired vehicles, with minimum limits of $1,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage liability, or such higher limit(s) as may be required by TRMC or by Applicable Law from time to time. Coverage must assure compliance with Sections 29 and 30 of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 and all applicable rules and regulations of the Federal Highway Administration’s Bureau of Motor Carrier Safety and Interstate Commerce Commissioner (Form MCS 90 Endorsement). Limits of liability for this insurance must be in accordance with the financial responsibility requirement of the Motor Carrier Act, but not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence;

(v) Excess (Umbrella) Liability Insurance with limits not less than $4,000,000 per occurrence. Additional excess limits may be utilized to supplement inadequate limits in the primary policies required in items (ii), (iii), and (iv) above;

(vi) Pollution Legal Liability with limits not less than $25,000,000 per loss with an annual aggregate of $25,000,000. Coverage shall apply to bodily injury and property damage including loss of use of damaged property and property that has not been physically injured; cleanup costs, defense, including costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, defense or settlement of claim; and

(vii) Property Insurance, with a limit of no less than $1,000,000, which property insurance shall be first-party property insurance to adequately cover TRMC’s owned property; including personal property of others .

(b) Waiver of Subrogation . All such policies must be endorsed with a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement, effectively waiving rights of recovery under subrogation or otherwise, against TLO, and shall contain where applicable, a severability of interest clause and a standard cross liability clause.


(c) Copies of Insurance Certificates or Policies . Upon execution of this Agreement and prior to the operation of any equipment by TRMC, Carrier or its authorized drivers at the Terminals, TRMC and/or Carrier will furnish to TLO, and at least annually thereafter (or at any other times upon request by TLO) during the Term (and for any coverage maintained on a “claims-made” basis, for two (2) years after the termination of this Agreement), insurance certificates and/or certified copies of the original policies to evidence the insurance required herein, including on behalf of Carrier’s contractors providing authorized vehicles or authorized drivers. Such certificates shall be in the form of the “Accord” Certificate of Insurance, and reflect that they are for the benefit of TLO and shall provide that there will be no material change in or cancellation of the policies unless TLO is given at least thirty (30) days prior written notice. Certificates providing evidence of renewal of coverage shall be furnished to TLO prior to policy expiration.

(d) Responsibility for Deductibles . TRMC and/or Carrier shall be solely responsible for any deductibles or self-insured retention.

26. GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

(a) Party Certification . Each Party certifies that none of the Products covered by this Agreement were derived from crude petroleum, petrochemical, or gas which was produced or withdrawn from storage in violation of any federal, state or other governmental law, nor in violation of any rule, regulation or promulgated by any governmental agency having jurisdiction in the premises.

(b) Compliance with Applicable Law . The Parties are entering into this Agreement in reliance upon and shall comply in all material respects with all Applicable Law which directly or indirectly affects the Products throughput hereunder, or any receipt, throughput delivery, transportation, handling or storage of Products hereunder or the ownership, operation or condition of each Terminal. Each Party shall be responsible for compliance with all Applicable Law associated with such Party’s respective performance hereunder and the operation of such Party’s facilities. In the event any action or obligation imposed upon a Party under this Agreement shall at any time be in conflict with any requirement of Applicable Law, then this Agreement shall immediately be modified to conform the action or obligation so adversely affected to the requirements of the Applicable Law, and all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain effective.

(c) Material Change in Applicable Law . If during the Term, any new Applicable Law becomes effective or any existing Applicable Law or its interpretation is materially changed, which change is not addressed by another provision of this Agreement and which has a material adverse economic impact upon a Party, either Party, acting in good faith, shall have the option to request renegotiation of the relevant provisions of this Agreement or a Terminal Service Order with respect to future performance. The Parties shall then meet to negotiate in good faith amendments to this Agreement or to an applicable Terminal Service Order that will conform to the new Applicable Law while preserving the Parties’ economic, operational, commercial and competitive arrangements in accordance with the understandings set forth herein.

27. SUSPENSION OF REFINERY OPERATIONS

(a) No Termination . This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect regardless of whether TRMC decides to permanently or indefinitely suspend refining operations at any Refinery for any period.


(b) Curtailment Fee . For any Month during which TRMC does not throughput any volumes of Products at an affected Terminal, TRMC shall be permitted to reduce its Minimum Throughput Commitment by an amount equal to the Stipulated Volume for such affected Terminal(s), provided that TRMC pays TLO a fee for such Month (a “ Curtailment Fee ”). Curtailment Fees for each applicable Month shall be equal to (i) such Terminal’s Stipulated Volume multiplied by (ii) the number of days in the Month, multiplied by (iii) the weighted average monthly Terminalling Service Fee incurred by TRMC at such Terminal during the twelve (12) Months immediately preceding the Refinery’s suspension of operations. For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of calculating Shortfall Payments during any Month in which TRMC pays TLO a Curtailment Fee, volume shortfalls shall be determined by deducting volumes throughput at the Terminals by TRMC during such Month from the Minimum Throughput Commitment reduced by an amount equal to the Stipulated Volume for such affected Terminal(s).

(c) Continued Liability for Shortfall Payments . If refining operations at any of the Refineries are suspended for any reason (including Refinery turnarounds and other scheduled maintenance), then TRMC shall remain liable for Shortfall Payments under this Agreement for the duration of the suspension.

28. FORCE MAJEURE

(a) Definitions and Notice . As soon as possible upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure, TLO shall provide TRMC with written notice of the occurrence of such Force Majeure (a “ Force Majeure Notice ”). TLO shall identify in such Force Majeure Notice the approximate length of time that TLO reasonably believes in good faith such Force Majeure shall continue (the “ Force Majeure Period ”). For the duration of the Force Majeure Period, TRMC shall be permitted to reduce its Minimum Throughput Commitment as provided in Section 29(b) . If TLO advises in any Force Majeure Notice that it reasonably believes in good faith that the Force Majeure Period shall continue for more than twelve (12) consecutive Months, then, subject to Section 29 below, at any time after TLO delivers such Force Majeure Notice, either Party may terminate this Agreement solely with respect to the affected Terminal(s), but only upon delivery to the other Party of a notice (a “ Termination Notice ”) at least twelve (12) Months prior to the expiration of the Force Majeure Period; provided, however; that such Termination Notice shall be deemed cancelled and of no effect if the Force Majeure Period ends prior to the expiration of such twelve (12)-Month period. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Party may exercise its right under this Section 28(a) to terminate this Agreement as a result of a Force Majeure with respect to any Terminal that has been unaffected by, or has been restored to working order since, the applicable Force Majeure, including pursuant to a Restoration.

(b) Revocation of TRMC Termination Notice . Notwithstanding the foregoing, if TRMC delivers a Termination Notice to TLO (the “ TRMC Termination Notice ”) and, within thirty (30) days after receiving such TRMC Termination Notice, TLO notifies TRMC that TLO reasonably believes in good faith that it shall be capable of fully performing its obligations under this Agreement within a reasonable period of time and TRMC mutually agrees (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld), then the TRMC Termination Notice shall be deemed revoked and the applicable portion of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such TRMC Termination Notice had never been given.


29. CAPABILITIES OF FACILITIES

(a) Service Interruption. Subject to Force Majeure and interruptions for routine repair and maintenance, consistent with customary terminal industry standards, TLO shall use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize the interruption of service at each Terminal and any portion thereof. TLO shall promptly inform TRMC operational personnel of any anticipated partial or complete interruption of service at any Terminal, including relevant information about the nature, extent, cause and expected duration of the interruption and the actions TLO is taking to resume full operations, provided that TLO shall not have any liability for any failure to notify, or delay in notifying, TRMC of any such matters except to the extent TRMC has been materially prejudiced or damaged by such failure or delay.

(b) Restoration of Reserved Capacity . Subject to Force Majeure and interruptions for routine repair and maintenance, consistent with customary terminal industry standards, TLO shall maintain each Terminal in a condition and with a capacity sufficient to throughput a volume of TRMC’s Products at least equal to the respective Reserved Capacity for such Terminal. TLO’s obligations may be temporarily suspended during the occurrence of, and for the entire duration of, a Force Majeure or any interruption of service that prevents TLO from terminalling the Reserved Capacity hereunder. To the extent TLO is prevented from terminalling volumes equal to the full Reserved Capacity for reasons of Force Majeure or other interruption of service, then TRMC’s obligation to throughput the Minimum Throughput Commitment and pay any Shortfall Payment shall be reduced proportionately in an amount not to exceed the Stipulated Volume for the affected Terminal. At such time as TLO is capable of terminalling volumes equal to the Reserved Capacity, TRMC’s obligation to throughput the full Minimum Throughput Commitment shall be restored. If for any reason, including, without limitation, a Force Majeure event, the throughput capacity of any Terminal should fall below the Reserved Capacity for that Terminal, then within a reasonable period of time after the commencement of such reduction, TLO shall make repairs to the Terminal to restore the capacity of such Terminal to that required for throughput of the Reserved Capacity (“ Restoration ”). Except as provided below in Section 29(c) , all of such Restoration shall be at TLO’s cost and expense, unless the damage creating the need for such repairs was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of TRMC, its employees, agents or customers or the failure of TRMC’s Products to meet the specifications as provided for in Section 16(a) .


(c) Capacity Resolution . In the event of the failure of TLO to maintain any Terminal in a condition and with a capacity sufficient to throughput a volume of TRMC’s Products equal to the respective Stipulated Volume for such Terminal, then either Party shall have the right to call a meeting between executives of both Parties by providing at least two (2) Business Days’ advance written notice. Any such meeting shall be held at a mutually agreeable location and will be attended by executives of both Parties each having sufficient authority to commit his or her respective Party to a Capacity Resolution (hereinafter defined). At the meeting, the Parties will negotiate in good faith with the objective of reaching a joint resolution for the Restoration of capacity on the Terminal which will, among other things, specify steps to be taken by TLO to fully accomplish Restoration and the deadlines by which the Restoration must be completed (the “ Capacity Resolution ”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Capacity Resolution shall set forth an agreed upon time schedule for the Restoration activities. Such time schedule shall be reasonable under the circumstances, consistent with customary terminal industry standards and shall take into consideration TLO’s economic considerations relating to costs of the repairs and TRMC’s requirements concerning its refining and marketing operations. TLO shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to provide storage and throughput of TRMC’s Products at the affected Terminal, to the extent the Terminal has capability of doing so, during the period before Restoration is completed. In the event that TRMC’s economic considerations justify incurring additional costs to restore the Terminal in a more expedited manner than the time schedule determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, TRMC may require TLO to expedite the Restoration to the extent reasonably possible, subject to TRMC’s payment, in advance, of the estimated incremental costs to be incurred as a result of the expedited time schedule. In the event the Parties agree to an expedited Restoration plan in which TRMC agrees to fund a portion of the Restoration cost, then neither Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in connection with a Force Majeure, so long as such Restoration is completed with due diligence, and TRMC shall pay its portion of the Restoration costs to TLO in advance based on an estimate based on reasonable engineering standards promulgated by the Association for Facilities Engineering. Upon completion, TRMC shall pay the difference between the actual portion of Restoration costs to be paid by TRMC pursuant to this Section 29(c) and the estimated amount paid under the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after receipt of TLO’s invoice therefor, or, if appropriate, TLO shall pay TRMC the excess of the estimate paid by TRMC over TLO’s actual costs as previously described within thirty (30) days after completion of the Restoration.

(d) Restoration . If at any time after the occurrence of (x) a Partnership Change of Control or (y) a sale of a Refinery, TLO either (i) refuses or fails to meet with TRMC within the period set forth in Section 29(c) , (ii) fails to agree to perform a Capacity Resolution in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 29(c) , or (iii) fails to perform its obligations in compliance with the terms of a Capacity Resolution, TRMC may, as its sole remedy for any breach by TLO of any of its obligations under Section 29(c) , require TLO to complete a Restoration of the affected Terminal, subject to and to the extent permitted under the terms, conditions and/or restrictions of applicable leases, permits and/or Applicable Law. Any such Restoration required under this Section 29(d) shall be completed by TLO at TRMC’s cost. TLO shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to provide storage and throughput of TRMC’s Products at the affected Terminal, during the period while such Restoration is being completed. Any work performed by TLO pursuant to this Section 29(d) shall be performed and completed in a good and workmanlike manner consistent with applicable industry standards and in accordance with all Applicable Law. Additionally, during such period after the occurrence of (x) a Partnership Change of Control or (y) a sale of a Refinery, TRMC may exercise any remedies available to it under this Agreement (other than termination), including the right to immediately seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief for specific performance by TLO of the applicable provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation to make Restorations as described herein.


(e) Throughput Right of First Refusal . Unless otherwise specified in a Terminal Service Order, all throughput of TRMC’s volumes, along with storage related to such throughput, shall be on a fungible commingled basis, and TLO may commingle such Products with Products of third parties of like grade and kind. TLO shall have the right to enter into arrangements with third parties to throughput Products at each Terminal and provide storage related to such throughput; provided however, that (i) TLO shall not enter into any third party arrangements that would restrict or limit the ability of TRMC to throughput the Reserved Capacity at each Terminal each Month without TRMC’s consent, and (ii) TLO shall give TRMC ninety (90) days prior written notice of any proposed throughput agreement with a third party, and if TRMC makes an offer on terms no less favorable to TLO than the third-party offer, TLO shall be obligated to enter into a terminalling agreement with TRMC on the terms set forth in its proposed offer (“ Throughput Right of First Refusal ”). If TRMC does not exercise its Throughput Right of First Refusal in the manner set forth above, TLO may, for the next ninety (90) days, proceed with the negotiation of the third-party terminalling agreement. If no third-party terminalling agreement is consummated during such ninety-day period, the terms and conditions of this Section 29(e) shall again become effective.

(f) Storage Tank Heels . All Tank Heels shall be allocated among storage users on a pro rata basis. Tank Heels cannot be withdrawn from any tank without prior approval of TLO. For storage tanks and capacities identified on a Terminal Service Order as dedicated to and used exclusively for the storage and throughput of TRMC’s Product, TRMC shall be responsible for providing all Tank Heels required for operation of such tanks.

30. TERMINATION

(a) Default . A Party shall be in default under this Agreement if:

(i) the Party breaches any provision of this Agreement or a Terminal Service Order, which breach has a material adverse effect on the other Party, and such breach is not excused by Force Majeure or cured within fifteen (15) Business Days after notice thereof (which notice shall describe such breach in reasonable detail) is received by such Party (unless such failure is not commercially reasonably capable of being cured in such fifteen (15) Business Day period in which case such Party shall have commenced remedial action to cure such breach and shall continue to diligently and timely pursue the completion of such remedial action after such notice);

(ii) the Party (A) files a petition or otherwise commences, authorizes or acquiesces in the commencement of a proceeding or cause of action under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar Applicable Law, or has any such petition filed or commenced against it, (B) makes an assignment or any general arrangement for the benefit of creditors, (C) otherwise becomes bankrupt or insolvent (however evidenced) or (D) has a liquidator, administrator, receiver, trustee, conservator or similar official appointed with respect to it or any substantial portion of its property or assets; or

(iii) if either of the Parties is in default as described above, then (A) if TRMC is in default, TLO may or (B) if TLO is in default, TRMC may: (1) terminate this Agreement upon notice to the defaulting Party; (2) withhold any payments due to the defaulting Parties under this Agreement; and/or (3) pursue any other remedy at law or in equity.


(b) Obligation to Cure Breach . If a Party breaches any provision of this Agreement or a Terminal Service Order, which breach does not have a material adverse effect on the other Party, the breaching Party shall still have the obligation to cure such breach.

(c) Product Removal . TRMC shall, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, promptly remove all of its Products including any downgraded and interface Product and Transmix from the Terminals, and TLO shall remove the remaining Tank Heels and tank bottoms and deliver them to TRMC or TRMC’s designee, within thirty (30) days of such termination or expiration. In the event all of the Product is not removed within such thirty (30) day period, TRMC shall be assessed a storage fee to all Products held in storage more than thirty (30) days beyond the termination or expiration of this Agreement until such time TRMC’s entire Product is removed from the Terminals; provided however, that TRMC shall not be assessed any storage fees associated with the removal of Product if TRMC’s ability to remove such Product is delayed or hindered by TLO, its agents or contractors for any reason.

(d) Equipment Removal . TRMC shall, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, promptly remove any and all of its owned equipment (except those purchased by TLO pursuant to Section 8(f) above), and restore the Terminals to their condition prior to the installation of such equipment.

31. RIGHT TO ENTER INTO A NEW TERMINALLING AGREEMENT

(a) New Terminalling Services Agreement . Upon termination of this Agreement or a Terminal Service Order for reasons other than (x) a default by TRMC and (y) any other termination of this Agreement or a Terminal Service Order initiated by TRMC pursuant to Section 30 , TRMC shall have the right to require TLO to enter into a new terminalling services agreement with TRMC that (i) is consistent with the terms set forth in this Agreement, (ii) relates to the same Terminals that are the subject matter of this Agreement, and (iii) has commercial terms that are, in the aggregate, equal to or more favorable to TLO than fair market value terms as would be agreed by similarly-situated parties negotiating at arm’s length; provided, however; that the term of any such new terminalling services agreement shall not extend beyond May 31, 2033.

(b) Terminalling Right of First Refusal . In the event that TLO proposes to enter into a terminalling services agreement with a third party within two (2) years after the termination of this Agreement for reasons other than (x) by default by TRMC and (y) any other termination of this Agreement initiated by TRMC pursuant to Section 30 , TLO shall give TRMC ninety (90) days’ prior written notice of any proposed new terminalling services agreement with a third party, including (i) details of all of the material terms and conditions thereof and (ii) a thirty (30)-day period (beginning upon TRMC’s receipt of such written notice) (the “ Terminalling First Offer Period ”) in which TRMC may make a good faith offer to enter into a new terminalling agreement with TLO (the “ Terminalling Right of First Refusal ”). If TRMC makes an offer on terms no less favorable to TLO than the third-party offer with respect to such terminalling services agreement during the Terminalling First Offer Period, then TLO shall be obligated to enter into a terminalling services agreement with TRMC on the terms set forth in Section 31(a) above. If TRMC does not exercise its Terminalling Right of First Refusal in the manner set forth above, TLO may, for the next ninety (90) days, proceed with the negotiation of the third-party terminalling services agreement. If no third party agreement is consummated during such ninety-day period, the terms and conditions of this Section 31(b) shall again become effective.


32. STORAGE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

In the event that TLO proposes to enter into a storage agreement with a third party upon opening up any new storage opportunity at the Terminals during the Term, TLO shall give TRMC ninety (90) days’ prior written notice of any proposed new storage agreement with a third party, including (i) details of all of the material terms and conditions thereof and (ii) a thirty (30)-day period (beginning upon TRMC’s receipt of such written notice) (the “ Storage First Offer Period ”) in which TRMC may make a good faith offer to enter into a new storage agreement with TLO (the “ Storage Right of First Refusal ”). If TRMC makes an offer on terms no less favorable to TLO than the third-party offer with respect to such storage agreement during the Storage First Offer Period, then TLO shall be obligated to enter into a storage agreement with TRMC on the terms set forth in its proposed offer. If TRMC does not exercise its Storage Right of First Refusal in the manner set forth above, TLO may, for the next ninety (90) days, proceed with the negotiation of the third-party storage agreement. If no third party agreement is consummated during such ninety-day period, the terms and conditions of this Section 32 shall again become effective.

33. SUBCONTRACT

Should TRMC desire to subcontract to a third party (“ Replacement Customer ”) any dedicated or commingled storage subject to a Terminal Service Order, TRMC must notify TLO in writing prior to the proposed start of the subcontract. TLO has the right to approve any Replacement Customer with such approval being conditioned based only upon reasonable commercial standards. Unless otherwise agreed in writing between TRMC and TLO, and between Replacement Customer and TLO, TRMC will continue to be liable for all terms and conditions of this Agreement related to any subcontracted storage tank, including but not limited to, remittance of any fees set forth in a Terminal Service Order applicable to the subcontracted storage tank.

36. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

(a) Confidential Information and Exceptions Thereto . Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to retain the other Parties’ Confidential Information in confidence and not disclose the same to any third party nor use the same, except as authorized by the disclosing Party in writing or as expressly permitted in this Section 36 . Each Party further agrees to take the same care with the other Party’s Confidential Information as it does with its own, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Excepted from these obligations of confidence and non-use is that information which:

(i) is available, or becomes available, to the general public without fault of the receiving Party;


(ii) was in the possession of the receiving Party on a non-confidential basis prior to receipt of the same from the disclosing Party (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that this exception shall not apply to information of TLO that was in the possession of TRMC or any of its affiliates as a result of their ownership or operation of the Terminals prior to the Commencement Date);

(iii) is obtained by the receiving Party without an obligation of confidence from a third party who is rightfully in possession of such information and, to the receiving Party’s knowledge, is under no obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party; or

(iv) is independently developed by the receiving Party without reference to or use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

For the purpose of this Section 36 , a specific item of Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing exceptions merely because it is embraced by, or underlies, more general information in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party.

(b) Required Disclosure . Notwithstanding Section 36(a) above, if the receiving Party becomes legally compelled to disclose the Confidential Information by a court, Governmental Authority or Applicable Law, or is required to disclose by the listing standards of any applicable securities exchange, any of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the receiving Party shall promptly advise the disclosing Party of such requirement to disclose Confidential Information as soon as the receiving Party becomes aware that such a requirement to disclose might become effective, in order that, where possible, the disclosing Party may seek a protective order or such other remedy as the disclosing Party may consider appropriate in the circumstances. The receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that it is required to disclose and shall cooperate with the disclosing Party in allowing the disclosing Party to obtain such protective order or other relief.

(c) Return of Confidential Information . Upon written request by the disclosing Party, all of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in whatever form shall be returned to the disclosing Party upon termination of this Agreement or destroyed with destruction certified by the receiving Party, without the receiving Party retaining copies thereof except that one copy of all such Confidential Information may be retained by a Party’s legal department solely to the extent that such Party is required to keep a copy of such Confidential Information pursuant to Applicable Law, and the receiving Party shall be entitled to retain any Confidential Information in the electronic form or stored on automatic computer back-up archiving systems during the period such backup or archived materials are retained under such Party’s customary procedures and policies; provided, however, that any Confidential Information retained by the receiving Party shall be maintained subject to confidentiality pursuant to the terms of this Section 36, and such archived or back-up Confidential Information shall not be accessed except as required by Applicable Law.


(d) Receiving Party Personnel . The receiving Party will limit access to the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party to those of its employees, attorneys and contractors that have a need to know such information in order for the receiving Party to exercise or perform its rights and obligations under this Agreement (the “ Receiving Party Personnel ”). The Receiving Party Personnel who have access to any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party will be made aware of the confidentiality provision of this Agreement, and will be required to abide by the terms thereof. Any third party contractors that are given access to Confidential Information of a disclosing Party pursuant to the terms hereof shall be required to sign a written agreement pursuant to which such Receiving Party Personnel agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, which written agreement will expressly state that it is enforceable against such Receiving Party Personnel by the disclosing Party.

(e) Survival . The obligation of confidentiality under this Section 36 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years.

37. MISCELLANEOUS

(a) Amendment or Modification . This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by the Parties. Any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be waived in writing at any time by the Party entitled to the benefits thereof. No waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or any breach thereof, will be effective unless in writing signed by a duly authorized individual on behalf of the Party against which the waiver is sought to be enforced. No waiver of any term or condition or of any breach of this Agreement will be deemed or will constitute a waiver of any other term or condition or of any later breach (whether or not similar), nor will such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

(b) Integration . This Agreement, together with the Schedules and Terminal Service Orders and the other agreements executed on the date hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Tranche 2 Contribution Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the Parties in connection therewith. In the event of a conflict of provisions of this Agreement and the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and among Partnership, General Partner, TRMC, TLO, and Tesoro Corporation (“ Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement ”), the provisions of the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement shall prevail with respect to issues related to the contribution of the assets described therein, but not with respect to the ordinary operations of such assets as set forth in this Agreement.

(c) Applicable Law; Forum, Venue and Jurisdiction . This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal court of competent jurisdiction situated in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division, or if such federal court declines to exercise or does not have jurisdiction, in the district court of Bexar County, Texas. The Parties expressly and irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of said Courts and irrevocably waive any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in such Courts, irrevocably waive any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and further irrevocably waive the right to object, with respect to such claim, action, suit or proceeding brought in any such Court, that such Court does not have jurisdiction over such Party. The Parties hereby irrevocably consent to the service of process by registered mail, postage prepaid, or by personal service within or without the State of Texas. Nothing contained herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.


(d) Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf)) for the convenience of the Parties hereto, each of which counterparts will be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together will constitute one and the same agreement.

(e) Severability . Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be valid and effective under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance will be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision hereof, and the Parties will negotiate in good faith with a view to substitute for such provision a suitable and equitable solution in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

(f) No Third Party Rights . Except as specifically provided in Section 24 herein, It is expressly understood that the provisions of this Agreement do not impart enforceable rights in anyone who is not a Party or successor or permitted assignee of a Party.

(g) Jury Waiver . EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PERFORMANCE OR FAILURE TO PERFORM OF ANY OBLIGATION HEREUNDER.

(a) Commitment . During the Term of this Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the effective Operating Capacity of each Tank and the Storage Facilities as a whole, TLO shall, as applicable, store all Products tendered by TRMC at the Storage Facilities (the “ Commitment ”).

(b) Dedicated Storage . The Tanks identified on Schedule A attached hereto shall be dedicated and used exclusively for the storage of TRMC’s Products. TRMC shall be responsible for maintaining all Tank Heels required for operation of the Tanks. Tank Heels cannot be withdrawn from any Tank without prior approval of TLO. TRMC shall pay the fees specified in the applicable Terminal Service Order for the dedication of the Tanks.

3. COMMENCEMENT DATE

The “ Commencement Date ” will the effective date of the Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 Ground Lease.


4. TERM

The initial term of this Agreement shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall continue through December 5, 2023 (the “ Initial Term ”); provided, however, that TRMC may, at its option, extend the Initial Term for up to two (2) renewal terms of five (5) years each (each, an “ Extension Period ”) by providing written notice of its intent to TLO no less than three hundred sixty-five (365) calendar days prior to the end of the Initial Term or the then-current Extension Period. The Initial Term, and any extensions of this Agreement as provided above, shall be referred to herein as the “ Term .”

5. STORAGE SERVICES FEE

(a) Storage Services Fee . TRMC shall pay a Monthly fee (the “ Storage Services Fee ”) to reserve, on a firm basis, all of the existing aggregate Shell Capacity of all of the Tanks in the Storage Facilities. Such fee shall include all storage, pumping, and transshipment between and among the Tanks. Such fee shall be payable by TRMC on a Monthly basis throughout the Term of the Agreement, regardless of the actual volumes of Products stored by TLO on behalf of TRMC; provided, however, that the Parties shall from time to time negotiate an appropriate adjustment to such fee if the following conditions are met: (i) TRMC requires the full Operating Capacity of the Tanks, (ii) the full Operating Capacity of the Tanks is not available to TRMC for any reason (other than any reason resulting from or relating to actions or inactions by TRMC), and (iii) TLO is unable to otherwise accommodate the actual volumes of Products required to be stored by TRMC pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed, such adjustment shall be made in proportion to the reduction in Operating Capacity for any time period compared with the Operating Capacity then in effect for the affected Tank or Tanks pursuant to the mutually agreed Terminal Service Orders. (For example, if the Storage Services Fee applicable to the Shell Capacity of the affected Tank is $0.80 per Barrel per month x 345,000 Barrels = $276,000, and if the Operating Capacity in the then-applicable Terminal Service Order is 301,000 Barrels, and if the Operating Capacity falls 10% to 270,900, then TRMC’s Storage Services Fee for the affected Tank during the period in which the full Operating Capacity of such Tank is not available to TRMC for any reason (other than any reason resulting from or relating to actions or inactions by TRMC) would be reduced by 10% to $248,400.) Prior to the calculation of a reduced Storage Services Fee in the manner set forth above, there shall have been at least a consecutive twenty-four (24) hour interruption in service. The Parties recognize that the existing Operating Capacity of certain Tanks is less than the Shell Capacity of such Tanks, but the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Storage Services Fee shall be set in terms of a dollar-per-Barrel per Month rate based on Shell Capacity in the applicable Terminal Service Order.

(b) Rate and Fee . The Storage Services Fee shall be calculated using the per Barrel rate set forth on the Terminal Service Orders executed effective as of the Commencement Date for the then-existing aggregate Shell Capacity of all of the Tanks in the Storage Facilities. The Storage Services Fee owed during the Month in which the Commencement Date occurs, if less than a full calendar Month, shall be prorated in accordance with the ratio of (i) the number of days in such Month during which this Agreement is effective to (ii) the total number of days in such Month.

6. TERMINAL SERVICE ORDERS

(a) Description . TLO and TRMC shall enter into the Terminal Service Orders referred to in Section 5(b) and may enter into additional terminal service orders substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule A (each, a “ Terminal Service Order ”). Upon a request by TRMC pursuant to this Agreement or as deemed necessary or appropriate by TLO in connection with the services to be delivered pursuant hereto, TLO shall generate a Terminal Service Order to set forth the specific terms and conditions for providing the applicable services described therein and the applicable fees to be charged for such services. No Terminal Service Order shall be effective until fully executed by both TLO and TRMC.


(b) Included Items . Items available for inclusion on a Terminal Service Order include, but are not limited to, the following:

(i) the Operating Capacity and Shell Capacity of each Tank;

(ii) the Storage Services Fee pursuant to Section 5;

(iii) any reimbursement pursuant to Section 8(a);

(iv) any Surcharge pursuant to Section 8(b);

(v) any modification, cleaning, or conversion of a Tank as requested by TRMC pursuant to Section 9(a);

(vi) any reimbursement related to newly imposed taxes and regulations pursuant to Section 10; and

(vii) any other services that may be agreed upon by the Parties.

(c) Fee Increases . Any fees of a fixed amount set forth in this Agreement and any Terminal Service Order shall be increased on January 1 of each year of the Term, commencing on January 1, 2015, by a percentage equal to the positive change, if any, in the CPI-U (All Urban Consumers) during the first twelve (12) Month period beginning fifteen (15) Months preceding such January 1, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

(d) Conflicts . In case of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Terminal Service Order, the terms of the applicable Terminal Service Order shall govern.

7. CAPABILITIES OF FACILITIES

(a) Maintenance and Repair . Subject to Force Majeure and interruptions for routine repair and maintenance, consistent with customary terminal industry standards, TLO shall maintain each Tank and the Pipelines in a condition and with a capacity sufficient to store and handle a volume of TRMC’s Products at least equal to the current Operating Capacity for the Storage Facilities as a whole. TLO’s obligations may be temporarily suspended during the occurrence of, and for the entire duration of, a Force Majeure or other interruption of service, to the extent such Force Majeure or other interruption of service impairs TLO’s ability to perform such obligations. If for any reason, including, without limitation, a Force Majeure event, the condition of any Tanks and/or associated Pipelines are below the level necessary for TLO to store and handle a volume of TRMC’s Products at least equal to the current Operating Capacity, then within a reasonable period of time thereafter, TLO shall make repairs to restore the capacity of such Tank and/or associated Pipeline(s) to ensure service at the current Operating Capacity (“ Restoration ”). Except as provided below in Section 7(b), all of such Restoration shall be at TLO’s cost and expense unless the damage creating the need for such repairs was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of TRMC, its employees, agents or customers.


(b) Capacity Resolution . In the event of the failure of TLO to maintain any Pipeline or Tank in a condition and with a capacity sufficient to store and handle a volume of TRMC’s Products equal to its current Operating Capacity, then either Party shall have the right to call a meeting between executives of both Parties by providing at least two (2) Business Days’ advance written notice. Any such meeting shall be held at a mutually agreeable location and will be attended by executives of both Parties each having sufficient authority to commit his or her respective Party to a Capacity Resolution (as defined below). At the meeting, the Parties will negotiate in good faith with the objective of reaching a joint resolution for the Restoration of capacity of the Tank and/or its associated Pipeline(s) which will, among other things, specify steps to be taken by TLO to fully accomplish Restoration and the deadlines by which the Restoration must be completed (the “ Capacity Resolution ”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Capacity Resolution shall set forth an agreed upon time schedule for the Restoration activities. Such time schedule shall be reasonable under the circumstances, consistent with customary terminal industry standards and shall take into consideration TLO’s economic considerations relating to costs of the repairs and TRMC’s requirements concerning its refining and marketing operations. TLO shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to provide storage of TRMC’s Products at the applicable Storage Facility, to the extent the Storage Facility has the capability of doing so, during the period before Restoration is completed. In the event that TRMC’s economic considerations justify incurring additional costs to restore the Tank and/or associated Pipeline(s) in a more expedited manner than the time schedule determined in accordance with the preceding sentences, TRMC may require TLO to expedite the Restoration to the extent reasonably possible, subject to TRMC’s payment upon the occurrence of mutually agreed upon milestones in the Restoration process. In the event that the Operating Capacity of a Tank is reduced, and the Parties agree that the Restoration of such Tank to its full Operating Capacity is not justified under the standards set forth in the preceding sentences, then the Parties shall negotiate an appropriate adjustment to the Storage Services Fee to account for the reduced Operating Capacity available for TRMC’s use. In the event the Parties agree to an expedited Restoration plan in which TRMC agrees to pay the Restoration costs based on milestone payments or if the Parties agree to a reduced Storage Services Fee, then neither Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement or any applicable Terminal Service Order pursuant to Section 23 below, so long as any such Restoration is completed with due diligence.

(c) TRMC’s Right To Cure . If at any time after the occurrence of (x) a Partnership Change of Control or (y) a sale of the Refinery, TLO either (i) refuses or fails to meet with TRMC within the period set forth in Section 7(b), (ii) fails to agree to perform a Capacity Resolution in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 7(b), or (iii) fails to perform its obligations in compliance with the terms of a Capacity Resolution, TRMC may, as its sole remedy for any breach by TLO of any of its obligations under Section 7(b), require TLO to complete a Restoration of the affected Pipeline or Tank, and the Storage Services Fee shall be reduced, as described in Section 7(b) above, to account for the reduced Operating Capacity available for TRMC’s use until such Restoration is completed. Any such Restoration required under this Section 7(c) shall be completed by TLO at TRMC’s cost. TLO shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to provide storage and throughput of TRMC’s Products at the affected Tank or Pipeline while such Restoration is being completed. Any work performed by TLO pursuant to this Section 7(c) shall be performed and completed in a good and workmanlike manner consistent with applicable pipeline industry standards and in accordance with Applicable Law. Additionally, during such period after the occurrence of (x) a Partnership Change of Control or (y) a sale of the Refinery, TRMC may exercise any remedies available to it under this Agreement or any Terminal Service Order (other than termination), including the right to immediately seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief for specific performance by TLO of the applicable provisions of this Agreement or any Terminal Service Order, including, without limitation, the obligation to make Restorations as described herein.


8. REIMBURSEMENT; SURCHARGES

(a) Reimbursement . TRMC shall reimburse TLO for all of the following: (i) the actual cost of any expenditures that TLO agrees to make upon TRMC’s request, and (ii) any cleaning, degassing or other preparation of the Tanks at the expiration of this Agreement.

(b) Surcharges .

(i) If, during the Term, any existing laws or regulations are changed or any new laws or regulations are enacted that require TLO to make substantial and unanticipated expenditures (whether capitalized or otherwise) with respect to a Storage Facility or with respect to the services provided hereunder, TLO may, subject to the terms of this Section 8(b), impose a surcharge to increase the applicable service fee (a “ Surcharge ”) to cover TRMC’s pro rata share of the cost of complying with these laws or regulations, based upon the percentage of TRMC’s use of the services or facilities impacted by such new laws or regulations.

(ii) TLO shall notify TRMC of any proposed Surcharge to be imposed pursuant to Section 8(b)(i) sufficient to cover the cost of any required capital projects and any ongoing increased operating costs. TLO and TRMC then shall negotiate in good faith for up to thirty (30) days to mutually determine the effect of the change in law or regulation or new law or regulation, the cost thereof, and how such cost shall be amortized at an interest rate of no more than nine percent (9%) as a Surcharge, with the understanding that TLO and TRMC shall use their reasonable commercial efforts to mitigate the impact of, and comply with, these laws and regulations. Without limiting the foregoing, if expenditures requiring a Surcharge may be avoided or reduced through changes in operations, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to set forth the appropriate changes to Operating Capacities or other performance standards set forth in a Terminal Service Order to evidence the reduction of the amount of a Surcharge while leaving the Parties in the same relative economic position they held before the laws or regulations were changed or enacted.

(iii) In the event any Surcharge results in less than a fifteen percent (15%) increase in the applicable service fee, TRMC will be assessed such Surcharge on all future invoices during the period in which such Surcharge is in effect for the applicable amortization period, and TLO shall not terminate the affected service from this Agreement.

(iv) In the event any Surcharge results in a fifteen percent (15%) or more increase in the applicable service fee, TLO shall notify TRMC of the amount of the Monthly Surcharge required to reimburse TLO for its costs, plus carrying costs, together with reasonable supporting detail for the nature and amount of any such Surcharge.

(A) If within thirty (30) days of such notification provided in Section 8(b)(iv), TRMC does not agree to pay such Surcharge or to reimburse TLO up front for its costs, TLO may elect to either:

(1) require TRMC to pay such Surcharge, up to a fifteen (15%) increase in the applicable service fee; or

(2) terminate the Tank(s) or other facilities from this Agreement upon notice to TRMC.


(B) TLO’s performance obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended or reduced during the above thirty (30)-day period to the extent that TLO would be obligated to make such expenditures to continue performance during such period.

(v) In lieu of paying the Surcharge, TRMC may, at its option, elect to pay the full cost of the substantial and unanticipated expenditures upon completion of a project.

9. TANK MODIFICATION AND CLEANING; REMOVAL OF PRODUCT

(a) Tank Modifications . Each of the Tanks shall be used for its historical service, provided however, that TRMC may request that a Tank be changed for storage of a different grade or type of Product. In such an instance, TLO shall agree in good faith to a change in such service, if the same can be accomplished in accordance with reasonable commercial standards, accepted industry and engineering guidelines, permit requirements and Applicable Law. If any such modifications, improvements, vapor recovery, cleaning, degassing, or other preparation of the Tanks is performed by TLO at the request of TRMC, TRMC shall bear all direct costs attributable thereto, including, without limitation, the cost of removal, processing, transportation, and disposal of all waste and the cost of any taxes or mutually agreed charges TLO may be required to pay in regard to such waste (subject to subparagraph (c) below), which costs shall be set forth on the applicable Terminal Service Order. TLO may require TRMC to pay all such amounts prior to commencement of any remodeling work on the Tanks, or by mutual agreement, the Parties may agree upon an increase in the Storage Services Fee to reimburse TLO for its costs of such modifications, plus a reasonable return on capital. All of such costs associated with Tank modifications shall be documented by a Terminal Service Order to be executed by the Parties.

(b) Responsibility for Fees . Should TLO take any of the Tanks out of service for regulatory requirements, repair, or maintenance, TRMC shall be solely responsible for any alternative storage or Product movements as required and all third-party fees associated with such movements that are not within a Storage Facility; provided that TLO shall not be reimbursed for any costs of transportation through TLO’s facilities that it might be entitled to collect under any tariff or agreement with TRMC. Unless any Tank is removed specifically at TRMC’s request, TRMC shall not be responsible to TLO for any Storage Services Fees for any Tanks taken out of service during the period that such Tank is out of service.

(c) Removal of Product . Materials stored in or removed from any Storage Facility shall at all times remain owned by TRMC or any applicable Replacement Customer, and the owner of the Product shall always remain responsible for, at the owner’s sole cost, receiving custody of all of its materials to be removed from such Storage Facility, making appropriate arrangements to receive custody at such Storage Facility in a manner acceptable to TLO, and disposal of such material after custody is returned to the owner. TRMC shall be responsible for any fees and costs associated with the disposal of hazardous waste (unless caused by TLO’s negligence).

20. TERMINATION; RIGHT TO ENTER INTO A NEW AGREEMENT

(a) Termination for Default . A Party shall be in default under this Agreement or any Terminal Service Order if:

(i) the Party breaches any provision of this Agreement, a Terminal Service Order or any of the Related Agreements (but with respect to the SoCal Transportation Services Agreement, only with respect to the pipelines that transport Product to and from marine terminals), which breach has a material adverse effect on the other Party (with such material adverse effect being determined based on this Agreement and all Terminal Service Orders considered as a whole), and such breach is not excused by Force Majeure or cured within fifteen (15) Business Days after notice thereof (which notice shall describe such breach in reasonable detail) is received by such Party (unless such failure is not commercially reasonably capable of being cured in such fifteen (15) Business Day Period in which case such Party shall have commenced remedial action to cure such breach and shall continue to diligently and timely pursue the completion of such remedial action after such notice); or


(ii) the Party (A) files a petition or otherwise commences, authorizes or acquiesces in the commencement of a proceeding or cause of action under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar Applicable Law, or has any such petition filed or commenced against it, (B) makes an assignment or any general arrangement for the benefit of creditors, (C) otherwise becomes bankrupt or insolvent (however evidenced) or (D) has a liquidator, administrator, receiver, trustee, conservator or similar official appointed with respect to it or any substantial portion of its property or assets.

If either Party is in default as described above, then (i) if TRMC is in default, TLO may or (ii) if TLO is in default, TRMC may: (A) terminate this Agreement and all applicable Terminal Service Orders upon notice to the defaulting Party; (B) withhold any payments due to the defaulting Party under this Agreement and the Terminal Service Orders; and/or (C) pursue any other remedy at law or in equity.

(b) Termination of a Lease or Sublease . Upon the termination or cancellation of the Terminal 2 Port Lease, the Terminal 2 Sublease Agreement, or the Terminals 2 and Terminal 3 Ground Lease (with respect to Terminal 2 and/or Terminal 3, as the case may be) for any reason other than renewal and/or amendment, this Agreement shall immediately terminate as to the applicable Storage Facility without penalty to either Party.

(c) Obligation to Cure . If a Party breaches any provision of this Agreement, a Terminal Services Order or a Related Agreement, which breach does not have a material adverse effect on the other Party, the breaching Party shall still have the obligation to cure such breach.

(d) Obligations at Termination . Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties, within thirty (30) days of the termination or expiration of this Agreement, (i) TRMC shall promptly remove all of its removable Products from the Storage Facilities and (ii) TLO shall remove the remaining Tank Heels and tank bottoms and deliver them to TRMC or TRMC’s designee. In the event all of the Product is not removed within such thirty (30) day period, TRMC shall be assessed a holdover storage fee, calculated on the same basis as the Storage Services Fee, to all Products held in storage more than thirty (30) days beyond the termination or expiration of this Agreement until such time TRMC’s entire Product is removed from the Tanks and the Storage Facilities; provided, however, that TRMC shall not be assessed any storage fees associated with the removal of Product to the extent that TRMC’s ability to remove such Product is delayed or hindered by TLO, its agents, or contractors for any reason.

21. RIGHT TO ENTER INTO A NEW STORAGE AGREEMENT

(a) Right to Enter New Agreement . Upon termination of this Agreement for reasons other than (x) a default by TRMC and (y) any other termination of this Agreement initiated by TRMC pursuant to Section 20, TRMC shall have the right to require TLO to enter into a new storage services agreement (with ancillary Terminal Service Orders, as appropriate) with TRMC that (i) is consistent with the terms set forth in this Agreement and Terminal Service Orders in effect at the time of such termination, (ii) relates to the same Storage Facilities and the Tanks that are the subject matter of this Agreement and applicable Terminal Service Orders, and (iii) has commercial terms that are, in the aggregate, equal to or more favorable to TLO than fair market value terms as would be agreed by similarly-situated parties negotiating at arm’s length; provided, however, that the term of any such new storage services agreement shall not extend beyond December 5, 2033.


(b) New Agreement; Right of First Refusal . In the event that TLO proposes to enter into a storage services agreement with a third party within two (2) years after the termination of this Agreement for reasons other than (x) by default by TRMC and (y) any other termination of this Agreement initiated by TRMC pursuant to Section 20, TLO shall give TRMC ninety (90) days’ prior written notice of any proposed new storage services agreement with a third party, including (i) details of all of the material terms and conditions thereof and (ii) a thirty (30)-day period (beginning upon TRMC’s receipt of such written notice) (the “ First Offer Period ”) in which TRMC may make a good faith offer to enter into a new storage services agreement with TLO (the “ Right of First Refusal ”). If TRMC makes an offer on terms no less favorable to TLO than the third-party offer with respect to such storage services agreement during the First Offer Period, then TLO shall be obligated to enter into a storage services agreement with TRMC on the terms set forth in subsection (a) above. If TRMC does not exercise its Right of First Refusal in the manner set forth above, TLO may, for the next ninety (90) days, proceed with the negotiation of the third-party storage services agreement. If no third party agreement is consummated during such ninety-day period, the terms and conditions of this Section 21(b) shall again become effective.

22. FORCE MAJEURE

(a) Force Majeure Notice . As soon as possible upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure, TLO shall provide TRMC with written notice of the occurrence of such Force Majeure (a “ Force Majeure Notice ”). TLO shall identify in such Force Majeure Notice the approximate length of time that TLO reasonably believes in good faith such Force Majeure shall continue (the “ Force Majeure Period ”). For the duration of the Force Majeure Period, the Storage Services Fee shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Shell Capacity for each affected Tank, provided that if TRMC is able to continue to store Product in a Tank during the Force Majeure Period, but at a reduced Operating Capacity, the Storage Services Fee shall be reduced in proportion to the amount the effective Operating Capacity is reduced. If TLO advises in any Force Majeure Notice that it reasonably believes in good faith that the Force Majeure Period shall continue for more than twelve (12) consecutive Months, then, subject to Section 7 above, at any time after TLO delivers such Force Majeure Notice, either Party may terminate that portion of this Agreement or any Terminal Service Order solely with respect to the affected Tank(s) at the applicable Storage Facility, but only upon delivery to the other Party of a notice (a “ Termination Notice ”) at least twelve (12) Months prior to the expiration of the Force Majeure Period; provided, however; that such Termination Notice shall be deemed cancelled and of no effect if the Force Majeure Period ends prior to the expiration of such twelve-Month period. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Party may exercise its right under this Section 22(a) to terminate this Agreement or any Terminal Service Order as a result of a Force Majeure with respect to any machinery, storage, tanks, lines of pipe or other equipment that has been unaffected by, or has been restored to working order since, the applicable Force Majeure, including pursuant to a Restoration under Section 7.

(b) Termination Notice . Notwithstanding the foregoing, if TRMC delivers a Termination Notice to TLO (the “ TRMC Termination Notice ”) and, within thirty (30) days after receiving such TRMC Termination Notice, TLO notifies TRMC that TLO reasonably believes in good faith that it shall be capable of fully performing its obligations under this Agreement or any Terminal Service Order within a reasonable period of time and TRMC mutually agrees, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld, then the TRMC Termination Notice shall be deemed revoked and the applicable portion of this Agreement or any Terminal Service Order shall continue in full force and effect as if such TRMC Termination Notice had never been given.

23. SUSPENSION OF REFINERY OPERATIONS

This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect regardless of whether TRMC decides to permanently or temporarily suspend refining operations at the Refinery. TRMC is not permitted to suspend or reduce its obligations under this Agreement or any Terminal Service Order in connection with a shutdown of the Refinery for scheduled turnarounds or other regular servicing or maintenance. If refining operations at the Refinery are suspended for any reason (including Refinery turnarounds and other scheduled maintenance), then TRMC shall remain liable for Storage Services Fees under this Agreement or any Terminal Service Order for the duration of the suspension. TRMC shall provide at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any suspension of operations at the Refinery due to a planned turnaround or scheduled maintenance.


24. ASSIGNMENT; SUBCONTRACT; PARTNERSHIP CHANGE OF CONTROL

TRMC shall not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without TLO’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided , however , that TRMC may assign this Agreement without TLO’s consent in connection with a sale by TRMC of the Refinery so long as the transferee: (i) agrees to assume all of TRMC’s obligations under this Agreement and (ii) is financially and operationally capable of fulfilling the terms of this Agreement, which determination shall be made by TRMC in its reasonable judgment.

(c) Subcontract .

Unless otherwise agreed in writing between TRMC and TLO, and between Replacement Customer and TLO, TRMC will continue to be liable for all terms and conditions of this Agreement related to any subcontracted Tank, including, but not limited to, remittance of any fees set forth in a Terminal Service Order applicable to the subcontracted Tank.

TRMC and TLO may mutually agree that operational notices concerning scheduling and similar matters can be directly provided between TLO and any Replacement Customer.

(d) TLO Assignment . TLO shall not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without TRMC’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided , however , that (i) TLO may assign this Agreement without TRMC’s consent in connection with a sale by TLO of the Storage Facilities so long as the transferee: (A) agrees to assume all of TLO’s obligations under this Agreement; (B) is financially and operationally capable of fulfilling the terms of this Agreement, which determination shall be made by TLO in its reasonable judgment; and (C) is not a competitor of TRMC; and (ii) TLO shall be permitted to make a collateral assignment of this Agreement solely to secure working capital financing for TLO.

(e) Notification of Assignment . Any assignment that is not undertaken in accordance with the provisions set forth above shall be null and void ab initio .

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(f) Partnership Change of Control . TRMC’s obligations hereunder shall not terminate in connection with a Partnership Change of Control, provided, however, that in the case of any Partnership Change of Control, TRMC shall have the option to extend the Term of this Agreement as provided in Section 4. TLO shall provide TRMC with notice of any Partnership Change of Control at least sixty (60) days prior to the effective date thereof.


25. ACCOUNTING PROVISIONS AND DOCUMENTATION; AUDIT

28. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

(a) Obligations . Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to retain the other Parties’ Confidential Information in confidence and not disclose the same to any third party nor use the same, except as authorized by the disclosing Party in writing or as expressly permitted in this Section 28 . Each Party further agrees to take the same care with the other Party’s Confidential Information as it does with its own, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Excepted from these obligations of confidence and non-use is that information which:

(i) is available, or become available, to the general public without fault of the receiving Party;

(ii) was in the possession of the receiving Party on a non-confidential basis prior to receipt of the same from the disclosing Party;

(iii) is obtained by the receiving Party without an obligation of confidence from a third party who is rightfully in possession of such information and, to the receiving Party’s knowledge, is under no obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party; or

(iv) is independently developed by the receiving Party without reference to or use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

For the purpose of this Section 28 , a specific item of Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing exceptions merely because it is embraced by, or underlies, more general information in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party.


(b) Required Disclosure . Notwithstanding Section 28(a) above, if the receiving Party becomes legally compelled to disclose the Confidential Information by a court, Governmental Authority or Applicable Law, or is required to disclose by the listing standards of any applicable securities exchange of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the receiving Party shall promptly advise the disclosing Party of such requirement to disclose Confidential Information as soon as the receiving Party becomes aware that such a requirement to disclose might become effective, in order that, where possible, the disclosing Party may seek a protective order or such other remedy as the disclosing Party may consider appropriate in the circumstances. The receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that it is required to disclose and shall cooperate with the disclosing Party in allowing the disclosing Party to obtain such protective order or other relief.

(c) Return of Information . Upon written request by the disclosing Party, all of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in whatever form shall be returned to the disclosing Party or destroyed with destruction certified by the receiving Party upon termination of this Agreement, without the receiving Party retaining copies thereof except that one copy of all such Confidential Information may be retained by a Party’s legal department solely to the extent that such Party is required to keep a copy of such Confidential Information pursuant to Applicable Law, and the receiving Party shall be entitled to retain any Confidential Information in the electronic form or stored on automatic computer back-up archiving systems during the period such backup or archived materials are retained under such Party’s customary procedures and policies; provided , however , that any Confidential Information retained by the receiving Party shall be maintained subject to confidentiality pursuant to the terms of this Section 28, and such archived or back-up Confidential Information shall not be accessed except as required by Applicable Law.

(d) Receiving Party Personnel . The receiving Party will limit access to the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party to those of its employees, attorneys and contractors that have a need to know such information in order for the receiving Party to exercise or perform its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any Terminal Service Order (the “ Receiving Party Personnel ”). The Receiving Party Personnel who have access to any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party will be made aware of the confidentiality provision of this Agreement, and will be required to abide by the terms thereof. Any third party contractors that are given access to Confidential Information of a disclosing Party pursuant to the terms hereof shall be required to sign a written agreement pursuant to which such Receiving Party Personnel agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, which written agreement will expressly state that it is enforceable against such Receiving Party Personnel by the disclosing Party.

(e) Survival . The obligation of confidentiality under this Section 28 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years.

29. MISCELLANEOUS

(a) Modification; Waiver . This Agreement or any Terminal Service Order may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by the Parties. Any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any Terminal Service Order may be waived in writing at any time by the Party entitled to the benefits thereof. No waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any Terminal Service Order, or any breach thereof, will be effective unless in writing signed by a duly authorized individual on behalf of the Party against which the waiver is sought to be enforced. No waiver of any term or condition or of any breach of this Agreement or any Terminal Service Order will be deemed or will constitute a waiver of any other term or condition or of any later breach (whether or not similar), nor will such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.


(b) Integration . This Agreement, together with the Schedules and Terminal Service Orders and the other agreements executed on the date hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Tranche 2 Contribution Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the Parties in connection therewith. In the event of a conflict of provisions of this Agreement and the Carson Asset Indemnity Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and among Partnership, General Partner, TRMC, TLO, and Tesoro Corporation (“ Carson Asset Indemnity Agreement ”), the provisions of the Carson Asset Indemnity Agreement shall prevail with respect to issues related to the contribution of the assets described therein, but not with respect to the ordinary operations of such assets as set forth in this Agreement.

(c) Construction and Interpretation . In interpreting this Agreement, unless the context expressly requires otherwise, all of the following apply to the interpretation of this Agreement:

(i) Preparation of this Agreement has been a joint effort of the Parties and the resulting Agreement against one of the Parties as the drafting Party.

(ii) Plural and singular words each include the other.

(iii) Masculine, feminine and neutral genders each include the others.

(iv) The word “or” is not exclusive and includes “and/or.”

(v) The words “includes” and “including” are not limiting.

(vi) References to the Parties include their respective successors and permitted assignees.

(vii) The headings in this Agreement are included for convenience and do not affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of, or the rights or obligations of a Party under, this Agreement.

(d) Governing Law; Jurisdiction . This Agreement and any Terminal Service Order shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal court of competent jurisdiction situated in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division, or if such federal court declines to exercise or does not have jurisdiction, in the district court of Bexar County, Texas. The Parties expressly and irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of said Courts and irrevocably waive any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Terminal Service Order brought in such Courts, irrevocably waive any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and further irrevocably waive the right to object, with respect to such claim, action, suit or proceeding brought in any such Court, that such Court does not have jurisdiction over such Party. The Parties hereby irrevocably consent to the service of process by registered mail, postage prepaid, or by personal service within or without the State of Texas. Nothing contained herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.

(e) Counterparts . This Agreement and any Terminal Service Order may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf)) for the convenience of the Parties hereto, each of which counterparts will be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together will constitute one and the same agreement.


(f) Severability .

TRMC may at any time make a written request to TSPC to increase the throughput capacity of any Segment or to construct any new pipelines related to the operation of the Refinery in southern California, including the acquisition of Crude Oil feedstocks and marketing of Refined Products (a “ Capacity Expansion ”), and shall include in such written request the parameters and specifications of the requested Capacity Expansion. Upon the receiving such a request, TSPC shall promptly evaluate the relevant factors related to such request, including, without limitation: engineering and design criteria, limitations affecting such Capacity Expansion and any related tankage, cost and financing factors and the effect of such Capacity Expansion on the overall operation of the SoCal Pipelines. If TSPC determines that such a Capacity Expansion is operationally and commercially feasible, TSPC shall present a proposal to TRMC concerning the design of such Capacity Expansion, its projected costs and how and what portion of such costs might be funded by or recovered from TRMC. If TSPC determines that such a Capacity Expansion is not commercially or operationally feasible, it shall provide TRMC with an explanation of and justification for why it made such determination. If TSPC notifies TRMC that the Capacity Expansion may be commercially and operationally feasible, the Parties shall negotiate reasonably and in good faith to determine appropriate terms and conditions for the Capacity Expansion, which shall include, without limitation, the scope of the Capacity Expansion, the appropriate timing for constructing the Capacity Expansion and a mechanism for TSPC to recover an appropriate portion of its costs, plus a reasonable return on capital associated with such Capacity Expansion, which may include, without limitation, direct funding of all or part of the costs by TRMC, an increase in Transportation Fee and/or an increase in the applicable Minimum Throughput Commitment.

(c) Third Party Throughput .

3. COMMENCEMENT DATE

The “ Commencement Date ” will be December 6, 2013.

 

4. TERM

The initial term of this Agreement shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall continue through December 5, 2023 (the “ Initial Term ”); provided, however, that TRMC may, at its option, extend the Initial Term for up to two (2) renewal terms of five (5) years each (each, an “ Extension Period ”) by providing written notice of its intent to TSPC no less than three hundred sixty-five (365) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or the then-current Extension Period. The Initial Term, and any extensions of this Agreement as provided above, shall be referred to herein as the “ Term .”


5. TRANSPORTATION FEES

(a) Transportation Fees . TRMC shall pay the applicable Transportation Fees for the throughput of Products on the SoCal Pipelines as set forth and calculated in the Pipeline Service Order applicable to throughput of such Products.

(b) Excess Throughput Fee . In addition, TRMC shall pay any applicable Excess Throughput Fee as set forth and calculated in the applicable Pipeline Service Order.

(c) Removal of Segments from Service . If at any time during the Term, TSPC determines temporarily to remove from service any Segment or Segments or portion of the SoCal Pipelines, TSPC shall notify TRMC in writing of such temporary removal from service as soon as reasonably practicable, and TRMC and TSPC shall cooperate in good faith to allocate TRMC’s shipments to other Segments such that TRMC can continue to ship the Total Reserved Capacity. If the temporary removal from service of a Segment or Segments or portion or the SoCal Pipelines restricts TRMC from throughputting the Crude Reserved Capacity or the Refined Products Reserved Capacity, then until such Segment or Segments or portion of the SoCal Pipelines are restored to service, the affected Minimum Throughput Commitment (i.e., the Crude MTC or the Refined Products MTC) shall be reduced by the difference between (i) the pro rata portion thereof allocable to such Segment or Segments or portion of the SoCal Pipelines and (ii) the amount that TRMC can effectively throughput until such Segment or Segments or portion of the SoCal Pipelines are restored to service. Subject to Section 14 , TSPC shall not permanently remove a Segment from service without the prior agreement of TRMC, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed in its reasonable commercial judgment.

(d) Calculation of Monthly Shortfall Payments and Credits .

(i) Crude Oil Shipments . If, during any Month, actual shipments by TRMC on the Crude Pipelines are less than the Crude MTC, then TRMC shall pay a shortfall payment to TSPC based on the Transportation Fees and Excess Throughput Fees for such Month, as set forth and calculated in the Pipeline Service Order applicable to throughput of Crude Oil (the “ Crude Shortfall Payment ”). The dollar amount of any Crude Shortfall Payment included in the monthly invoice described in Section 8(c) below and paid by TRMC shall be posted as a credit to TRMC’s account (the “ Crude Barrels Credit ”), and such Crude Barrels Credit shall be applied in subsequent monthly invoices against Excess Throughput Fees applicable to throughput of Barrels of Crude Oil during any of the succeeding three (3) Months.

(ii) Refined Products Shipments . If, during any Month, actual shipments by TRMC on the Refined Products Pipelines are less than the Refined Products MTC, then TRMC shall pay a shortfall payment to TSPC based on the Transportation Fees and Excess Throughput Fees for such Month, as set forth and calculated in the Pipeline Service Order applicable to throughput of Refined Products (the “ Refined Product Shortfall Payment ”, and together with the Crude Shortfall Payment, the “ Shortfall Payment ”). The dollar amount of any Refined Products Shortfall Payment included in the monthly invoice described in Section 8(c) below and paid by TRMC shall be posted as a credit to TRMC’s account (the “ Refined Products Barrels Credit ”, and together with the Crude Barrels Credit, each a “ Credit ” and together, “ Credits ”), and such Refined Products Barrels Credit shall be applied in subsequent monthly invoices against Excess Throughput Fees applicable to throughput of Barrels of Refined Products during any of the succeeding three (3) Months.


(iii) Application and Expiration of Credits. Credits will be applied in the order in which such Credits accrue and, except as provided in Section 15 , only to the Shortfall Payment relating to the same Product relating to such Credit. Any portion of the Credit that is not used by TRMC during the succeeding three (3) Months will expire (e.g., a Credit which accrues in January will be available in February, March and April, will expire at the end of April, and must be applied prior to applying any Credit which accrues in February).

 

6. REIMBURSEMENT FOR NEWLY IMPOSED TAXES AND REGULATORY FEES; EXCISE TAXES

(a) Prompt Reimbursement . TRMC shall promptly pay or reimburse TSPC for any newly imposed taxes, levies, royalties, assessments, licenses, fees, charges, surcharges and sums due of any nature whatsoever (other than income taxes, gross receipt taxes and similar taxes) by any federal, state or local government or agency that TSPC incurs on TRMC’s behalf for the services provided by TSPC under this Agreement. If TSPC is required to pay any of the foregoing, TRMC shall promptly reimburse TSPC in accordance with the payment terms set forth in this Agreement. Any such newly imposed taxes or regulatory fees as provided for in this Section 6(a) shall be specified in an applicable Pipeline Service Order.

(b) Excise Tax Certification . Upon written request by TSPC, TRMC shall supply TSPC with a completed signed original notification certificate of gasoline and diesel fuel registrant as required by the Internal Revenue Service’s excise tax regulation. TRMC further agrees to comply with all Applicable Law with respect to such taxes.

(c) Exemption Certification . If TRMC is exempt from the payment of any taxes allocated to TRMC under the foregoing provisions, TRMC shall furnish TSPC with the proper exemption certificates.

 

7. EXPENDITURE REQUIRED BY NEW LAWS AND REGULATIONS

(a) Surcharge . If, during the Term, any existing laws or regulations are changed or any new laws or regulations are enacted that require TSPC to make substantial and unanticipated expenditures (whether capitalized or otherwise) with respect to the SoCal Pipelines, TSPC may, subject to the terms of this Section 7 , impose a surcharge to increase the applicable service fee (a “ Surcharge ”), as set forth in a Pipeline Service Order, to cover TRMC’s pro rata share of the cost of complying with these laws or regulations, based upon the percentage of TRMC’s use of the services or facilities impacted by such new laws or regulations.

(b) Notification and Mitigation . TSPC shall notify TRMC of any proposed Surcharge to be imposed pursuant to Section 7(a) sufficient to cover the cost of any required capital projects and any ongoing increased operating costs. TSPC and TRMC then shall negotiate in good faith for up to thirty (30) days to mutually determine the effect of the change in law or regulation or new law or regulation, the cost thereof, and how such cost shall be amortized at an interest rate of no more than nine percent (9%) as a Surcharge, with the understanding that TSPC and TRMC shall use their reasonable commercial efforts to mitigate the impact of, and comply with, these laws and regulations. Without limiting the foregoing, if expenditures requiring a Surcharge may be avoided or reduced through changes in operations, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to set forth the appropriate changes in a Pipeline Service Order to evidence the reduction of the amount of a Surcharge while leaving the Parties in the same relative economic position they held before the laws or regulations were changed or enacted.

(c) Less Than 15% Surcharge . In the event any Surcharge results in less than a fifteen percent (15%) increase in the applicable service fee and Segment affected, TRMC will be assessed such Surcharge on all future invoices during the period in which such Surcharge is in effect for the applicable amortization period, and TSPC shall not terminate the affected service from this Agreement.


(d) 15% or More Surcharge . In the event any Surcharge results in a fifteen percent (15%) or more increase in the applicable service fee in accordance with Section 7(a) , TSPC shall notify TRMC of the amount of the Surcharge required to reimburse TSPC for its costs, plus carrying costs, together with reasonable supporting detail for the nature and amount of any such Surcharge.

(i) If within thirty (30) days of such notification provided in this Section 7(d) , TRMC does not agree to pay such Surcharge or to reimburse TSPC up front for its costs, TSPC may elect to either:

(A) require TRMC to pay such Surcharge, up to a fifteen percent (15%) increase in the applicable service fee; or

(B) terminate the affected Segment(s) or other facilities from this Agreement upon notice to TRMC.

(ii) TSPC’s performance obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended or reduced during the above thirty (30) day period to the extent that TSPC would be obligated to make such expenditures to continue performance during such period.

(e) Payment in Lieu of Surcharge . In lieu of paying the Surcharge, TRMC may, at its option, elect to pay the full cost of the substantial and unanticipated expenditures upon completion of a project.

TRMC and TSPC shall use reasonable commercial diligence to resolve disputes in a timely manner. All portions of the disputed amount determined to be owed to TRMC shall be refunded to TRMC within ten (10) days of the dispute resolution.

(e) Index-Based Changes . Any fees of a fixed amount set forth in this Agreement and any Pipeline Service Order shall be increased on January 1 of each year of the Term, commencing on January 1, 2015, by a percentage equal to the positive change, if any, in the CPI-U (All Urban Consumers) during the first twelve (12) Month period beginning fifteen (15) Months preceding such January 1, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

(f) Conflict between Agreement and Pipeline Service Order . In case of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Pipeline Service Order, the terms of the applicable Pipeline Service Order shall govern.

 

9. OPERATIONAL PROVISIONS

(a) Services . The services provided by TSPC pursuant to this Agreement shall only consist of the transportation of Products on the SoCal Pipelines. To the extent that TRMC requests any ancillary services, TRMC shall specify such services in a separate Pipeline Service Order, and TSPC and TRMC shall negotiate in good faith to determine an appropriate fees, terms and conditions for such services.

(b) Product Quality .

(i) Deliveries into SoCal Pipelines . TRMC warrants that all Products delivered into the Crude Pipelines and Refined Products Pipelines under this Agreement shall meet the latest applicable pipeline specifications or mutually agreed upon specifications for that Product upon receipt at the applicable Segment and contain no deleterious substances or concentrations of any contaminants that may make it or its components commercially unacceptable in general industry application. TRMC shall not deliver to any of the Segments of such Pipelines any Products which: (i) would in any way be injurious to any such Segments (except to the extent such Product is inherently corrosive, provided that such Product shall be otherwise within specifications); (ii) would render any of such Segments unfit for the proper throughput of similar Products; (iii) would contaminate or otherwise downgrade the quality of commingled Products throughput with TRMC’s Products; (iv) may not be lawfully throughput; or (v) otherwise do not meet applicable Product specifications for such Product that are customary in the location of the applicable Segment. If, however, there are Products that do not have such applicable specifications, the specifications shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties.


(ii) Product Downgrades . TSPC shall exercise reasonable care to ensure that all Products delivered by third parties and commingled with TRMC’s Products meet applicable Product specifications for each such Product. In the event that TRMC’s Products are downgraded due to commingling with third-party Products that do not comply with the applicable Product specifications, or otherwise due to improper operations by TSPC, TSPC shall be liable for all loss, damage and cost incurred as a result of such downgrade. Should TRMC’s commingled Products not comply with the minimum quality standards set forth in this Agreement, TRMC shall be liable for all loss, damage and cost incurred thereby, including damage to Products of third parties commingled with TRMC’s unfit Products.

(c) Product Measurements . All quantities of Products received and delivered into or by the SoCal Pipelines shall be measured by the following (in order of preference), subject to TSPC’s reasonable discretion to choose an alternative method: (i) by meters, (ii) if applicable, by static shore tank gauges of the tank or otherwise or (iii) by a mutually agreeable method. All quantities shall be adjusted to net gallons at 60° F in accordance with ASTM D-1250 Petroleum Measurement Tables, or latest revisions thereof. Meters and temperature probes shall be calibrated according to applicable API standards in accordance with customary industry procedures. TRMC shall have the right, at its sole expense, and in accordance with applicable Segment procedure, to independently certify such calibration.

(d) Title and Risk of Loss; Custody and Control . Custody of Products shall pass from TRMC to TSPC at the flange where it enters the SoCal Pipeline and to TRMC from TSPC at the flange where it exits the SoCal Pipeline. Upon re-delivery of any Product to TRMC’s account, TRMC shall become solely responsible for any loss, damage or injury to Person or property or the environment, arising out of transportation, possession or use of such Product after transfer of custody and the loss allowance provisions hereof shall apply to Product while in TSPC’s custody. Title to all of TRMC’s Product received into the SoCal Pipelines shall remain with TRMC at all times. Both Parties acknowledge that this Agreement represents a bailment of Products by TRMC to TSPC and not a consignment of Products, it being understood that TSPC has no authority hereunder to sell or seek purchasers for the Products of TRMC. TRMC hereby warrants that it shall, at all times, have good title to and the right to deliver, throughput, store and receive Products pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Lien Waiver . TSPC hereby waives, relinquishes and releases any and all liens, including without limitation, any and all warehouseman’s liens, custodian’s liens, rights of retention and/or similar rights under all applicable laws, which TSPC would or might otherwise have under or with respect to the Products throughput, or handled hereunder. TSPC further agrees to furnish documents reasonably acceptable to TRMC and its lender(s) (if applicable), and to cooperate with TRMC in assuring and demonstrating that Products titled in TRMC’s name shall not be subject to any lien on the SoCal Pipelines.

(f) Volume Losses . From the date hereof for a period of six (6) Months, the Parties agree to adopt the applicable measurement and volume loss control practices in effect as of the date hereof. The Parties agree to renegotiate the applicable measurement and volume loss control practices at the end of the six (6) Month period, with the intent for the tolerance percentage of volume loss to be at the industry standard.

(g) Access . TRMC and TSPC shall each provide the other with access to each other’s facilities to the extent reasonably needed for performance of the throughputting services hereunder or for any inspection, maintenance, repairs, replacement or remediation associated with the SoCal Pipelines. All such access shall be at the accessing Party’s sole risk, and the Party obtaining access shall indemnify the other Party for claims arising as a result of such access, pursuant to Section 17 below. All such access shall be subject to all safety and security rules applicable to the sites being accessed, and such access shall be at reasonable times, with reasonable notice and shall not unreasonably interfere with the use or operation of the facilities being accessed.


(h) Material Safety Data Sheet . Upon request, TRMC will provide TSPC with a Material Safety Data Sheet and any other information required by any federal, state, or local authority for all Product throughput across the SoCal Pipelines. TRMC shall provide its customers with the appropriate information on all Products throughput across the SoCal Pipelines.

 

10. LEGAL COMPLIANCE

(a) Party Certification . Each Party certifies that none of the Products covered by this Agreement were derived from crude petroleum, petrochemical, or gas which was produced or withdrawn from storage in violation of any federal, state or other governmental law, nor in violation of any rule, regulation or promulgated by any governmental agency having jurisdiction in the premises.

(b) Compliance with Applicable Law . The Parties are entering into this Agreement in reliance upon and shall comply in all material respects with all Applicable Law which directly or indirectly affects the Products throughput hereunder, or any receipt, throughput delivery, transportation or handling of Products hereunder or the ownership, operation or condition of the SoCal Pipelines. Each Party shall be responsible for compliance with all Applicable Law associated with such Party’s respective performance hereunder and the operation of such Party’s facilities. In the event any action or obligation imposed upon a Party under this Agreement shall at any time be in conflict with any requirement of Applicable Law, then this Agreement shall immediately be modified to conform the action or obligation so adversely affected to the requirements of the Applicable Law, and all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain effective.

(c) Material Change in Applicable Law . If during the Term, (i) any new Applicable Law becomes effective or any existing Applicable Law or its interpretation is materially changed, which change is not addressed by another provision of this Agreement and which has a material adverse economic impact upon a Party or (ii) the California Public Utilities Commission imposes any price or operational restriction, regulation or tariff on the SoCal Pipelines or any Segment or portion thereof which has a material adverse economic impact upon a Party, then either Party, acting in good faith, shall have the option to request renegotiation of the relevant provisions of this Agreement or a Pipeline Service Order with respect to future performance. The Parties shall then meet to negotiate in good faith amendments to this Agreement or to an applicable Pipeline Service Order that will conform to the new Applicable Law while preserving the Parties’ economic, operational, commercial and competitive arrangements in accordance with the understandings set forth herein.

 

11. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY

(a) NO SPECIAL DAMAGES . IN NO EVENT SHALL A PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, NO MATTER HOW CHARACTERIZED, RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER, EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ACTUALLY AWARDED TO A THIRD PARTY OR ASSESSED BY A GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY AND FOR WHICH A PARTY IS PROPERLY ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION FROM THE OTHER PARTY PURSUANT TO THE EXPRESS PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.


(b) Claims and Liability for Lost or Damaged Product . TSPC shall not be liable to TRMC for lost or damaged Product unless TRMC notifies TSPC in writing within ninety (90) days of the report of any incident or the date TRMC learns of any such loss or damage to the Product. TSPC’s maximum liability to TRMC for any lost or damaged Product shall be limited to (i) the lesser of (1) the replacement value of the Product at the time of the incident based upon the price as posted by Platts or similar publication for similar Product in the same locality, and if no other similar Product is in the locality, then in the state, or (2) the actual cost paid for the Product by TRMC (copies of TRMC’s invoices of cost paid must be provided), less (ii) the salvage value, if any, of the damaged Product.

(c) No Guarantees or Warranties. Except as expressly provided in the Agreement, neither TRMC nor TSPC makes any guarantees or warranties of any kind, expressed or implied. TSPC specifically disclaims all implied warranties of any kind or nature, including any implied warranty of merchantability and/or any implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.

 

12. TERMINATION; RIGHT TO ENTER INTO NEW AGREEMENT

(a) Default . A Party shall be in default under this Agreement if:

(i) the Party breaches any provision of this Agreement or a Pipeline Service Order, which breach has a material adverse effect on the other Party, and such breach is not excused by Force Majeure or cured within fifteen (15) Business Days after notice thereof (which notice shall describe such breach in reasonable detail) is received by such Party (unless such failure is not commercially reasonably capable of being cured in such fifteen (15) Business Day period in which case such Party shall have commenced remedial action to cure such breach and shall continue to diligently and timely pursue the completion of such remedial action after such notice);

(ii) the Party (1) files a petition or otherwise commences, authorizes or acquiesces in the commencement of a proceeding or cause of action under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar Applicable Law, or has any such petition filed or commenced against it, (2) makes an assignment or any general arrangement for the benefit of creditors, (3) otherwise becomes bankrupt or insolvent (however evidenced) or (4) has a liquidator, administrator, receiver, trustee, conservator or similar official appointed with respect to it or any substantial portion of its property or assets; or

(iii) if either of the Parties is in default as described above, then (1) if TRMC is in default, TSPC may or (2) if TSPC is in default, TRMC may: (A) terminate this Agreement upon notice to the defaulting Party; (B) withhold any payments due to the defaulting Parties under this Agreement; and/or (C) pursue any other remedy at law or in equity.

(b) Obligation to Cure Breach . If a Party breaches any provision of this Agreement or a Pipeline Service Order, which breach does not have a material adverse effect on the other Party, the breaching Party shall still have the obligation to cure such breach.

(c) New Transportation Services Agreement . Upon termination of this Agreement or a Pipeline Service Order for reasons other than (x) a default by TRMC and (y) any other termination of this Agreement or a Pipeline Service Order initiated by TRMC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15 , TRMC shall have the right to require TSPC to enter into a new transportation services agreement with TRMC that (i) is consistent with the terms set forth in this Agreement and (ii) has commercial terms that are, in the aggregate, equal to or more favorable to TSPC than fair market value terms as would be agreed by similarly-situated parties negotiating at arm’s length; provided, however; that the term of any such new transportation services agreement shall not extend beyond December 5, 2033.


(d) Transportation Right of First Refusal . In the event that TSPC proposes to enter into a transportation services agreement with a third party within two (2) years after the termination of this Agreement for reasons other than (x) a default by TRMC and (y) any other termination of this Agreement initiated by TRMC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15 , TSPC shall give TRMC sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of any proposed new transportation services agreement with a third party, including (i) details of all of the material terms and conditions thereof and (ii) a thirty (30)-day period (beginning upon TRMC’s receipt of such written notice) (the “ First Offer Period ”) in which TRMC may make a good faith offer to enter into a new transportation agreement with TSPC (the “ Transportation Right of First Refusal ”). If TRMC makes an offer on terms no less favorable to TSPC than the third-party offer with respect to such transportation services agreement during the First Offer Period, then TSPC shall be obligated to enter into a transportation services agreement with TRMC on the terms set forth in this Agreement. If TRMC does not exercise its Transportation Right of First Refusal in the manner set forth above, TSPC may, for the next sixty (60) days, proceed with the negotiation of the third-party transportation services agreement. If no third party agreement is consummated during such sixty (60)-day period, the terms and conditions of this Section 12(d) shall again become effective.

(e) Removal of Product . Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, TRMC shall remain responsible for maintaining line fill in the SoCal Pipelines until replaced by TSPC or a third party shipper, and TRMC agrees to accept return of such line fill when tendered by TSPC. TSPC shall return such line fill within sixty (60) days after termination or expiration of this Agreement.

(f) Cumulative Nature of Remedies . The remedies provided for in this Agreement shall not be exclusive, but shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to all other remedies at law or in equity.

 

13. FORCE MAJEURE

(a) Definitions and Notice . As soon as possible upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure, TSPC shall provide TRMC with written notice of the occurrence of such Force Majeure (a “ Force Majeure Notice ”). TSPC shall identify in such Force Majeure Notice the particular Segment or Segments of the SoCal Pipelines that are affected by the Force Majeure and the approximate length of time that TSPC reasonably believes in good faith such Force Majeure shall continue (the “ Force Majeure Period ”). For the duration of the Force Majeure Period, TRMC shall be permitted to reduce its Minimum Throughput Commitment as provided in Section 14(b) . If TSPC advises in any Force Majeure Notice that it reasonably believes in good faith that the Force Majeure Period shall continue for more than twelve (12) consecutive Months, then, subject to Section 14 below, at any time after TSPC delivers such Force Majeure Notice, either Party may terminate that portion of this Agreement relating to the affected Segment, but only upon delivery to the other Party of a notice (a “ Termination Notice ”) at least twelve (12) Months prior to the expiration of the Force Majeure Period; provided, however; that such Termination Notice shall be deemed cancelled and of no effect if the Force Majeure Period ends prior to the expiration of such twelve (12)-Month period. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Party may exercise its right under this Section 13(a) to terminate this Agreement as a result of a Force Majeure with respect to any machinery, storage, tanks, lines of pipe or other equipment that has been unaffected by, or has been restored to working order since, the applicable Force Majeure, including pursuant to a Restoration.

(b) Revocation of TRMC Termination Notice . Notwithstanding the foregoing, if TRMC delivers a Termination Notice to TSPC (the “ TRMC Termination Notice ”) and, within thirty (30) days after receiving such TRMC Termination Notice, TSPC notifies TRMC that TSPC reasonably believes in good faith that it shall be capable of fully performing its obligations under this Agreement within a reasonable period of time and TRMC mutually agrees (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld), then the TRMC Termination Notice shall be deemed revoked and the applicable portion of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such TRMC Termination Notice had never been given.


14. CAPABILITIES OF SOCAL PIPELINES

(a) Service Interruption . Subject to Force Majeure and interruptions for routine repair and maintenance pursuant to Section 5(c) consistent with customary pipeline industry standards, TSPC shall use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize the interruption of service of any Segment of the SoCal Pipelines. TSPC shall promptly inform TRMC operational personnel of any anticipated partial or complete interruption of service at any Segment, including relevant information about the nature, extent, cause and expected duration of the interruption and the actions TSPC is taking to resume full operations, provided that TSPC shall not have any liability for any failure to notify, or delay in notifying, TRMC of any such matters except to the extent TRMC has been materially prejudiced or damaged by such failure or delay.

(b) Restoration of Reserved Capacity . Subject to Force Majeure and interruptions for routine repair and maintenance pursuant to Section 5(c) consistent with customary terminal industry standards, TSPC shall maintain the SoCal Pipelines in a condition and with a capacity sufficient to throughput a volume of Crude Oil at least equal to the Crude Reserved Capacity and a volume of Refined Products at least equal to the Refined Products Reserved Capacity. TSPC’s obligations may be temporarily suspended during the occurrence of, and for the entire duration of, a Force Majeure or any interruption of service that prevents TSPC from throughputting the Crude Reserved Capacity or the Refined Products Reserved Capacity. To the extent TSPC is prevented from throughputting volumes equal to Crude Reserved Capacity and Refined Products Reserved Capacity for reasons of Force Majeure or other interruption of service, then TRMC’s obligation to throughput the Crude MTC or Refined Products MTC, as applicable, and pay any applicable Shortfall Payment shall be reduced proportionately. At such time as TSPC is capable of throughputting volumes equal to the Crude Reserved Capacity or Refined Products Reserved Capacity, as applicable, TRMC’s obligation to throughput the full volume of the applicable Minimum Throughput Commitment shall be restored. If for any reason, including, without limitation, a Force Majeure event, the throughput capacity of the SoCal Pipelines should fall below the Crude Reserved Capacity or Refined Products Reserved Capacity, then within a reasonable period of time after the commencement of such reduction, TSPC shall make repairs to the SoCal Pipelines to restore the applicable Reserved Capacity (“ Restoration ”). Except as provided below in Section 14(c) and Section 14(d) , all of such Restoration shall be at TSPC’s cost and expense, unless the damage creating the need for such repairs was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of TRMC, its employees, agents or customers or the failure of TRMC’s Products to meet the specifications as provided for in Section 9(d) .

(c) Capacity Resolution . In the event of the failure of TSPC to maintain each Segment of the SoCal Pipelines in a condition and with a capacity sufficient to provide the Services provided for herein, then either Party shall have the right to call a meeting between executives of both Parties by providing at least two (2) Business Days’ advance written notice. Any such meeting shall be held at a mutually agreeable location and will be attended by executives of both Parties each having sufficient authority to commit his or her respective Party to a Capacity Resolution (hereinafter defined). At the meeting, the Parties will negotiate in good faith with the objective of reaching a joint resolution for the Restoration of capacity on the SoCal Pipelines which will, among other things, specify steps to be taken by TSPC to fully accomplish Restoration and the deadlines by which the Restoration must be completed (the “ Capacity Resolution ”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Capacity Resolution shall set forth an agreed upon time schedule for the Restoration activities. Such time schedule shall be reasonable under the circumstances, consistent with customary pipeline transportation industry standards and shall take into consideration TSPC’s economic considerations relating to costs of the repairs and TRMC’s requirements concerning the operation of the Refinery. TSPC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to provide throughput of TRMC’s Products through other appropriate Segments, to the extent the SoCal Pipelines have capability of doing so, during the period before Restoration is completed. In the event that TRMC’s economic considerations justify incurring additional costs to restore the SoCal Pipelines in a more expedited manner than the time schedule determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, TRMC may require TSPC to expedite the Restoration to the extent reasonably possible, subject to TRMC’s payment, in advance, of the estimated incremental costs to be incurred as a result of the expedited time schedule. In the event the Parties agree to an expedited Restoration plan in which TRMC agrees to fund a portion of the Restoration cost, then neither Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in connection with a Force Majeure, so long as such Restoration is completed with due diligence, and TRMC shall pay its portion of the Restoration costs to TSPC in advance based on an estimate conforming to reasonable engineering standards applicable to petroleum or products pipelines, as applicable. Upon completion, TRMC shall pay the difference between the actual portion of Restoration costs to be paid by TRMC pursuant to this Section 14(c) and the estimated amount paid under the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after receipt of TSPC’s invoice therefor, or, if appropriate, TSPC shall pay TRMC the excess of the estimate paid by TRMC over TSPC’s actual costs as previously described within thirty (30) days after completion of the Restoration.


(d) Restoration . If at any time after the occurrence of (x) a Partnership Change of Control or (y) a sale of the Refinery, TSPC either (i) refuses or fails to meet with TRMC within the period set forth in Section 14(c) , (ii) fails to agree to perform a Capacity Resolution in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 14(c) or (iii) fails to perform its obligations in compliance with the terms of a Capacity Resolution, TRMC may, as its sole remedy for any breach by TSPC of any of its obligations under Section 14(c) , require TSPC to complete a Restoration of the affected portions of the SoCal Pipelines, subject to and to the extent permitted under the terms, conditions and/or restrictions of applicable leases, permits and/or Applicable Law. Any such Restoration required under this Section 14(d) shall be completed by TSPC at TRMC’s cost. TSPC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to provide throughput of Products tendered by TRMC while such Restoration is being completed. Any work performed by TSPC pursuant to this Section 14(d) shall be performed and completed in a good and workmanlike manner consistent with applicable pipeline industry standards and in accordance with all Applicable Law. Additionally, during such period after the occurrence of (x) a Partnership Change of Control or (y) a sale of the Refinery, TRMC may exercise any remedies available to it under this Agreement (other than termination), including the right to immediately seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief for specific performance by TSPC of the applicable provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation to make Restorations described herein.

 

15. SUSPENSION OF REFINERY OPERATIONS

(a) No Termination . This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect regardless of whether TRMC decides to permanently or indefinitely suspend refining operations at either or both of the Refineries for any period.

(b) Continued Liability for Shortfall Payments . If refining operations at either or both of the Refineries are suspended for any reason (including Refinery turnarounds and other scheduled maintenance), then TRMC shall remain liable for Shortfall Payments under this Agreement for the duration of the suspension; provided, however, that during any such period of suspension: (i) TRMC’s shipments of Crude Oil in excess of the Crude MTC may be allocated to satisfy any failure by TRMC to ship the Refined Product MTC; (ii) TRMC’s shipments of Refined Products in excess of the Refined Product MTC may be allocated to satisfy any failure by TRMC to ship the Crude MTC; (iii) unexpired Crude Barrels Credits may applied against Refined Products Shortfall Payments; and (iv) unexpired Refined Products Credits may be applied against Crude Barrels Credits.


16. REPORTS AND AUDIT

Each Party and its duly authorized agents and/or representatives shall have reasonable access to the accounting records and other documents maintained by the other Party which relate to this Agreement, and shall have the right to audit such records at any reasonable time or times during the Term and for a period of up to three years after termination of this Agreement. Claims as to shortage in quantity or defects in quality shall be made by written notice within ninety (90) days after the delivery in question or shall be deemed to have been waived.

 

17. INDEMNIFICATION

TRMC shall require that its carriers cause all of its contractors providing authorized drivers or authorized vehicles, to carry such insurance, and TRMC shall be liable to TSPC for their failure to do so. Such insurance shall provide coverage to TSPC and such policies, other than Worker’s Compensation Insurance, shall include TSPC as an Additional Insured. Each policy shall provide that it is primary to and not contributory with any other insurance, including any self-insured retention, maintained by TSPC (which shall be excess) and each policy shall provide the full coverage required by this Agreement. All such insurance shall be written with insurance carriers and underwriters acceptable to TSPC, and eligible to do business in the State of California and having and maintaining an A.M. Best financial strength rating of no less than “A-” and financial size rating no less than “VII”; provided that TRMC and/or its carriers may procure worker’s compensation insurance from the state fund of California. All limits listed below are required

MINIMUM LIMITS:

(ii) Employers Liability Insurance with a minimum limit of $1,000,000 for each accident, covering injury or death to any employee which may be outside the scope of the worker’s compensation statute of the jurisdiction in which the worker’s service is performed, and in the aggregate as respects occupational disease;

This policy shall include Broad Form Contractual Liability insurance coverage which shall specifically apply to the obligations assumed in this Agreement by TRMC;


(iv) Automobile Liability Insurance covering all owned, non-owned and hired vehicles, with minimum limits of $1,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage liability, or such higher limit(s) as may be required by TRMC or by Applicable Law from time to time. Coverage must assure compliance with Sections 29 and 30 of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 and all applicable rules and regulations of the Federal Highway Administration’s Bureau of Motor Carrier Safety and Interstate Commerce Commissioner (Form MCS 90 Endorsement). Limits of liability for this insurance must be in accordance with the financial responsibility requirement of the Motor Carrier Act, but not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence;

Such certificates shall be in the form of the “Accord” Certificate of Insurance, and reflect that they are for the benefit of TSPC and shall provide that there will be no material change in or cancellation of the policies unless TSPC is given at least thirty (30) days prior written notice. Certificates providing evidence of renewal of coverage shall be furnished to TSPC prior to policy expiration.

(d) Responsibility for Deductibles . TRMC and/or its carriers shall be solely responsible for any deductibles or self-insured retention.


21. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

(a) Obligations . Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to retain the other Parties’ Confidential Information in confidence and not disclose the same to any third party nor use the same, except as authorized by the disclosing Party in writing or as expressly permitted in this Section 21 . Each Party further agrees to take the same care with the other Party’s Confidential Information as it does with its own, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Excepted from these obligations of confidence and non-use is that information which:

(i) is available, or becomes available, to the general public without fault of the receiving Party;

(ii) was in the possession of the receiving Party on a non-confidential basis prior to receipt of the same from the disclosing Party (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that this exception shall not apply to information of TSPC that was in the possession of TRMC or any of its affiliates as a result of their ownership or operation of the SoCal Pipelines prior to the Commencement Date);

(iii) is obtained by the receiving Party without an obligation of confidence from a third party who is rightfully in possession of such information and, to the receiving Party’s knowledge, is under no obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party; or

(iv) is independently developed by the receiving Party without reference to or use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

For the purpose of this Section 21 , a specific item of Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing exceptions merely because it is embraced by, or underlies, more general information in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party.

(b) Required Disclosure . Notwithstanding Section 21(a) above, if the receiving Party becomes legally compelled to disclose the Confidential Information by a court, Governmental Authority or Applicable Law, or is required to disclose by the listing standards of any applicable securities exchange, any of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the receiving Party shall promptly advise the disclosing Party of such requirement to disclose Confidential Information as soon as the receiving Party becomes aware that such a requirement to disclose might become effective, in order that, where possible, the disclosing Party may seek a protective order or such other remedy as the disclosing Party may consider appropriate in the circumstances. The receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that it is required to disclose and shall cooperate with the disclosing Party in allowing the disclosing Party to obtain such protective order or other relief.

(c) Return of Confidential Information . Upon written request by the disclosing Party, all of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in whatever form shall be returned to the disclosing Party upon termination of this Agreement or destroyed with destruction certified by the receiving Party, without the receiving Party retaining copies thereof except that one copy of all such Confidential Information may be retained by a Party’s legal department solely to the extent that such Party is required to keep a copy of such Confidential Information pursuant to Applicable Law and the receiving Party shall be entitled to retain any Confidential Information in the electronic form or stored on automatic computer back-up archiving systems during the period such backup or archived materials are retained under such Party’s customary procedures and policies; provided , however , that any Confidential Information retained by the receiving Party shall be maintained subject to confidentiality pursuant to the terms of this Section 21 , and such archived or back-up Confidential Information shall not be accessed except as required by Applicable Law.


(d) Receiving Party Personnel . The receiving Party will limit access to the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party to those of its employees, attorneys and contractors that have a need to know such information in order for the receiving Party to exercise or perform its rights and obligations under this Agreement (the “ Receiving Party Personnel ”). The Receiving Party Personnel who have access to any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party will be made aware of the confidentiality provision of this Agreement, and will be required to abide by the terms thereof. Any third party contractors that are given access to Confidential Information of a disclosing Party pursuant to the terms hereof shall be required to sign a written agreement pursuant to which such Receiving Party Personnel agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, which written agreement will expressly state that it is enforceable against such Receiving Party Personnel by the disclosing Party.

(e) Survival . The obligation of confidentiality under this Section 21 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years.

 

22. MISCELLANEOUS

(a) Amendment or Modification . This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by the Parties. Any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be waived in writing at any time by the Party entitled to the benefits thereof. No waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or any breach thereof, will be effective unless in writing signed by a duly authorized individual on behalf of the Party against which the waiver is sought to be enforced. No waiver of any term or condition or of any breach of this Agreement will be deemed or will constitute a waiver of any other term or condition or of any later breach (whether or not similar), nor will such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

In the event of a conflict of provisions of this Agreement and the Carson Asset Indemnity Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and among Partnership, General Partner, TRMC, TLO, and Tesoro Corporation (“ Carson Asset Indemnity Agreement ”), the provisions of the Carson Asset Indemnity Agreement shall prevail with respect to issues related to the contribution of the assets described therein, but not with respect to the ordinary operations of such assets as set forth in this Agreement.

(vi) References to the Parties include their respective successors and permitted assignees.

(vii) The headings in this Agreement are included for convenience and do not affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of, or the rights or obligations of a Party under, this Agreement.

(d) Applicable Law; Forum, Venue and Jurisdiction . This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal court of competent jurisdiction situated in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division, or if such federal court declines to exercise or does not have jurisdiction, in the district court of Bexar County, Texas. The Parties expressly and irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of said Courts and irrevocably waive any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in such Courts, irrevocably waive any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and further irrevocably waive the right to object, with respect to such claim, action, suit or proceeding brought in any such Court, that such Court does not have jurisdiction over such Party. The Parties hereby irrevocably consent to the service of process by registered mail, postage prepaid, or by personal service within or without the State of Texas. Nothing contained herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.

(e) Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf)) for the convenience of the Parties hereto, each of which counterparts will be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together will constitute one and the same agreement.

(f) Severability . Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be valid and effective under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance will be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision hereof, and the Parties will negotiate in good faith with a view to substitute for such provision a suitable and equitable solution in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

(g) No Third Party Rights . Except as specifically provided in Section 15 herein, it is expressly understood that the provisions of this Agreement do not impart enforceable rights in anyone who is not a Party or successor or permitted assignee of a Party.

(h) Jury Waiver . EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PERFORMANCE OR FAILURE TO PERFORM OF ANY OBLIGATION HEREUNDER.

(i) From time to time, Operator may designate a maximum allowable operating pressure (“ MAOP ”) on each Pipeline, which may be changed by Operator in its sole discretion upon notice to Customer; provided, however, that if Operator should ever reduce the MAOP of a Pipeline below 180 psig, then Operator shall use all reasonable efforts to restore the Pipelines to a MAOP of at least 180 psig as quickly as reasonably possible. As of the date hereof, the designated MAOP on each of the Pipelines is 180 psig. If Operator reduces MAOP below 180 psig, then Operator and Customer will utilize the procedure set forth in the BAUTA and Terminal Service Orders issued thereunder to identify and mitigate the physical and financial impacts of the reduction in MAOP in the same manner that a change in Dock Specification or Product Specification would be resolved under the BAUTA and Terminal Service Orders issued thereunder.

(ii) During any time period in which the MAOP of the Pipelines is reduced below 180 psig, the Minimum Pipeline Throughput Volume and the corresponding MPUF shall be reduced proportionately to the extent that such reduced pressure impairs Customer’s ability to actually throughput Products at the Minimum Pipeline Throughput Volume. Customer shall not deliver any Products into a Pipeline at a pressure that exceeds or could cause the Pipeline to exceed its MAOP, and in the event that Customer determines that an ongoing delivery through a Pipeline may exceed the MAOP of that Pipeline, then Customer shall immediately shut down the delivery and cause the pressure to be reduced. Customer shall immediately notify Operator at any time that the MAOP of a Pipeline has been exceeded. Customer shall conduct all pumping operations in accordance with applicable U.S. Department of Transportation regulations, using adequately trained and qualified personnel. Customer shall maintain and make available for Operator’s inspection recording charts reflecting a true and accurate record of line pressure. Upon request, Customer shall provide Operator with dynamic volumetric pipeline monitoring or volumetric flow rates and cumulative total volumes. In the event that the difference between Pipeline monitoring readings or shipper and receiver total volumes exceeds three percent (3%) or becomes greater than two percent (2%) for longer than four (4) hours, Customer shall shut down the transfer and shall not resume such transfer until the Pipeline monitoring readings can be reconciled or the difference between shipper and receiver cumulative totals is reconciled to within two percent (2%).

(k) Marine Vessel Shifting . If Customer’s Marine Vessel is shifted or delayed in order to accommodate a special access need of any party requiring access to a Berth as provided under the BAUTA and any Terminal Service Order issued thereunder, then the Minimum Pipeline Use Fee for the Month in which such shifting or delay occurs shall be determined as if the volumes were delivered as originally scheduled, without regard to such shifting.

SECTION 10 LEGAL COMPLIANCE

(a) Party Certification . Each Party certifies that none of the Products covered by this Agreement were derived from crude petroleum, petrochemical, or gas which was produced or withdrawn from storage in violation of any federal, state or other governmental law, nor in violation of any rule, regulation or promulgated by any governmental agency having jurisdiction in the premises.


(b) Compliance with Applicable Law . The Parties are entering into this Agreement in reliance upon and shall comply in all material respects with all Applicable Law which directly or indirectly affects the Products throughput hereunder, or any receipt, throughput delivery, transportation, handling or storage of Products hereunder or the ownership, operation or condition of each Pipeline. Each Party shall be responsible for compliance with all Applicable Law associated with such Party’s respective performance hereunder and the condition and operation of such Party’s facilities. To the extent required by Applicable Law, and as applicable to the services performed under this Agreement, each Party shall specifically comply and require its contractors and subcontractor(s) to comply with California Civil Code, Section 1714.43, as applicable, to ensure that all contractors, subcontractors, vendors and suppliers comply with all labor laws, including laws against slave labor and human trafficking and that such contractors, subcontractors, vendors and suppliers verify that the materials incorporated into any products manufactured for either Party are in compliance with all such laws. In the event any action or obligation imposed upon a Party under this Agreement shall at any time be in conflict with any requirement of Applicable Law, then this Agreement shall immediately be modified to conform the action or obligation so adversely affected to the requirements of the Applicable Law, and all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain effective.

(c) Material Change in Applicable Law . If during the Term, any new Applicable Law becomes effective or any existing Applicable Law or its interpretation is materially changed, which change is not addressed by another provision of this Agreement and which has a material adverse economic impact upon a Party, either Party, acting in good faith, shall have the option to request renegotiation of the relevant provisions of this Agreement or a Pipeline Service Order with respect to future performance. The Parties shall then meet to negotiate in good faith amendments to this Agreement or an applicable Pipeline Service Order that will conform to the new Applicable Law while preserving the Parties’ economic, operational, commercial and competitive arrangements in accordance with the understandings set forth herein.

SECTION 11 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

(a) Waiver of Consequential and Other Damages . IN NO EVENT SHALL A PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, ARISING FROM THE BREACH, DEFAULT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR THE NEGLIGENT ACTS, ERRORS, OR OMISSIONS OF SUCH PARTY WHILE PERFORMING ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ACTUALLY AWARDED TO A THIRD PARTY OR ASSESSED BY A GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY AND FOR WHICH A PARTY IS PROPERLY ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION FROM THE OTHER PARTY PURSUANT TO THE EXPRESS PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

(b) Claims and Liability for Lost Product . Operator shall not be liable to Customer for lost or damaged Product unless Customer notifies Operator in writing within ninety (90) days of the report of any incident or the date Customer learns of any such loss or damage to the Product. Subject always to Section 12(b) , Operator’s maximum liability to Customer for any lost or damaged Product shall be limited to (i) the lesser of (A) the replacement value of the Product at the time of the incident based upon the price as posted by Platts for similar Product in the same locality, and if no similar Product is in the locality, then in the state, or (B) the actual cost paid for the Product by Customer (copies of Customer’s invoices of cost paid must be provided), less (ii) the salvage value, if any, of the damaged Product.

(c) No Guarantees or Warranties . Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither Customer nor Operator makes any guarantees or warranties of any kind, expressed or implied. Operator specifically disclaims all implied warranties of any kind or nature, including any implied warranty of merchantability or any implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.

(d) No Limitation . Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, the scope of these indemnity provisions may not be altered, restricted, limited, or changed by any other provision of this Agreement. The indemnity obligations of the Parties as set out in this Section 12 are independent of any insurance requirements under this Agreement, and such indemnity obligations shall not be lessened or extinguished by reason of a Party’s failure to obtain the required insurance coverages or by any defenses asserted by a Party’s insurers.

(e) Mutual and Express Acknowledgement . THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN EXPRESSLY NEGOTIATED IN EVERY DETAIL, ARE INTENDED TO BE GIVEN FULL AND LITERAL EFFECT, AND SHALL BE APPLICABLE WHETHER OR NOT THE LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, CLAIMS, JUDGMENTS, LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES OR DAMAGES IN QUESTION ARISE OR AROSE SOLELY OR IN PART FROM THE GROSS, ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER FAULT OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY.

NOTICE IN THIS CONSPICUOUS NOTICE IS NOT INTENDED TO PROVIDE OR ALTER THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES, ALL OF WHICH ARE SPECIFIED ELSEWHERE IN THIS AGREEMENT.

(g) Third Party Indemnification . If any Party has the rights to indemnification from a third party, the indemnifying party under this Agreement shall have the right of subrogation with respect to any amounts received from such third-party indemnification claim.

SECTION 13 DEFAULT

(a) Default . A Party shall be in default under this Agreement if:

(i) the Party breaches any provision of this Agreement, a Pipeline Service Order or the BAUTA or any Terminal Service Order issued thereunder, which breach has a material adverse effect on the other Party, and such breach is not excused by Force Majeure or cured within fifteen (15) Business Days after notice thereof (which notice shall describe such breach in reasonable detail) is received by such Party (unless such failure is not commercially reasonably capable of being cured in such fifteen (15) Business Day period in which case such Party shall have commenced remedial action to cure such breach and shall continue to diligently and timely pursue the completion of such remedial action after such notice); or

(ii) the Party: (A) files a petition or otherwise commences, authorizes or acquiesces in the commencement of a proceeding or cause of action under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar Applicable Law, or has any such petition filed or commenced against it; (B) makes an assignment or any general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; (C) otherwise becomes bankrupt or insolvent (however evidenced); or (D) has a liquidator, administrator, receiver, trustee, conservator or similar official appointed with respect to it or any substantial portion of its property or assets.

(b) If either of the Parties is in default as described above, then (i) if Customer is in default, Operator may or (ii) if Operator is in default, Customer may: (A) terminate this Agreement upon notice to the defaulting Party; (B) withhold any payments due to the defaulting Party under this Agreement; and/or (C) pursue any other remedy at law or in equity.

(c) Obligation to Cure Breach . If a Party breaches any provision of this Agreement, a Pipeline Service Order or the BAUTA or any Terminal Service Order issued thereunder, which breach does not have a material adverse effect on the other Party, the breaching Party shall still have the obligation to cure such breach.

(d) Cumulative Nature of Remedies . The remedies provided for in this Agreement shall not be exclusive, but shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to all other remedies at law or in equity.


SECTION 14 FORCE MAJEURE

If a Party is unable to perform or is delayed in performing, in whole or in part, its obligations under this Agreement, other than the obligation to pay funds when due (subject to Section 5(c) ), as a result of an event of Force Majeure with respect to the Pipelines, then that Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the event of Force Majeure with reasonably full particulars and timing of such event. Such Party also shall promptly notify the other Party when the event of Force Majeure terminates or no longer adversely affects its ability to perform under this Agreement. The obligations of the Party giving notice, so far as they are affected by the event of Force Majeure, shall be suspended during, but not longer than, the continuance of the Force Majeure event. The affected Party must act with commercially reasonable diligence to resume performance, but it shall not be required to expend funds to settle strikes, lockouts or other labor difficulty. A Party’s inability economically to perform its obligations hereunder does not constitute an event of Force Majeure. If Operator is excused from providing services due to an event of Force Majeure, other than any fees that are already due and payable hereunder, any other fees incurred by Customer during the event of Force Majeure shall be excused or proportionately reduced, as appropriate, for so long as Operator’s performance is so excused due to the event of Force Majeure. In the event the Pipelines, or any part thereof is destroyed or damaged to such extent as to make them unusable, then Operator, in its sole discretion, subject to the terms and provisions of the BAUTA and any Terminal Service Order issued thereunder, may elect whether or not to repair, replace, or rebuild. An event of Force Majeure shall not extend the Term. If an event of Force Majeure materially affects either Party’s performance under this Agreement and exists for twelve (12) Months, then either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without further costs or obligation to the other Party.

SECTION 15 ASSIGNMENT; PARTNERSHIP CHANGE OF CONTROL

(a) Customer Assignment to Third Party . Customer shall not assign all of its obligations hereunder or under a Pipeline Service Order without Operator’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that Customer may assign this Agreement, without Operator’s consent, in connection with a sale by Customer or its affiliates of the Pipelines so long as the transferee: (i) agrees to assume all of Customer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Pipelines; and (ii) is financially and operationally capable of fulfilling the terms of this Agreement, which determination shall be made by Customer in its reasonable judgment.

(b) Operator Assignment to Third Party . Operator shall not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without Customer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that (i) Operator may assign this Agreement without Customer’s consent in connection with a sale by Operator of all or a portion of its assets so long as the transferee: (A) agrees to assume all of Operator’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Pipelines; (B) is financially and operationally capable of fulfilling the terms of this Agreement, which determination shall be made by Operator in its reasonable judgment; and (C) is not a competitor of Customer; (ii) Operator shall be permitted to make a collateral assignment of this Agreement solely to secure working capital financing for Operator; and (iii) Operator may assign its interest hereunder without consent from Customer to any subsidiary or affiliated company, or any new lessee or sublessee of the Berths or any new owner or lessee of the Pipelines in the event Operator assigns or subleases its interest in Lease HD-2114 and also conveys or leases its interest in the Pipelines.

(c) Notification of Assignment . Any assignment that is not undertaken in accordance with the provisions set forth above shall be null and void ab initio . A Party making any assignment shall promptly notify the other Party of such assignment, regardless of whether consent is required. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(d) Partnership Change of Control . Customer’s obligations hereunder shall not terminate in connection with a Partnership Change of Control, provided, however, that in the case of any Partnership Change of Control, Customer shall have the option to extend the Term of this Agreement as provided in Section 4 or modify the Term based on Wilmington Refinery requirements. Operator shall provide Customer with notice of any Partnership Change of Control at least sixty (60) days prior to the effective date thereof.

SECTION 19 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

(a) Confidential Information and Exceptions Thereto . Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to retain the other Parties’ Confidential Information in confidence and not disclose the same to any third party nor use the same, except as authorized by the disclosing Party in writing or as expressly permitted in this Section 19 . Each Party further agrees to take the same care with the other Party’s Confidential Information as it does with its own, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Excepted from these obligations of confidence and non-use is that information which:

(i) is available, or becomes available, to the general public without fault of the receiving Party;

(ii) was in the possession of the receiving Party on a non-confidential basis prior to receipt of the same from the disclosing Party (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that this exception shall not apply to information of Operator that was in the possession of Customer or any of its affiliates as a result of their ownership or operation of the Pipelines prior to the Execution Date);

(iii) is obtained by the receiving Party without an obligation of confidence from a third party who is rightfully in possession of such information and, to the receiving Party’s knowledge, is under no obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party; or

(iv) is independently developed by the receiving Party without reference to or use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

For the purpose of this Section 19 , a specific item of Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing exceptions merely because it is embraced by, or underlies, more general information in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party


(b) Required Disclosure . Notwithstanding Section 19(a) above, if the receiving Party becomes legally compelled to disclose the Confidential Information by a Governmental Authority or Applicable Law, or is required to disclose by the listing standards of any applicable securities exchange, any of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the receiving Party shall promptly advise the disclosing Party of such requirement to disclose Confidential Information as soon as the receiving Party becomes aware that such a requirement to disclose might become effective, in order that, where possible, the disclosing Party may seek a protective order or such other remedy as the disclosing Party may consider appropriate in the circumstances. The receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that it is required to disclose and shall cooperate with the disclosing Party in allowing the disclosing Party to obtain such protective order or other relief.

(c) Return of Confidential Information . Upon written request by the disclosing Party, all of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in whatever form shall be returned to the disclosing Party upon termination of this Agreement or destroyed with destruction certified by the receiving Party, without the receiving Party retaining copies thereof except that one (1) copy of all such Confidential Information may be retained by a Party’s legal department solely to the extent that such Party is required to keep a copy of such Confidential Information pursuant to Applicable Law, and the receiving Party shall be entitled to retain any Confidential Information in electronic form or stored on automatic computer back-up archiving systems during the period such backup or archived materials are retained under such Party’s customary procedures and policies; provided, however, that any Confidential Information retained by the receiving Party shall be maintained subject to confidentiality pursuant to the terms of this Section 19 , and such archived or back-up Confidential Information shall not be accessed except as required by Applicable Law.

(d) Receiving Party Personnel . The receiving Party will limit access to the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party to those of its employees, attorneys and contractors that have a need to know such information in order for the receiving Party to exercise or perform its rights and obligations under this Agreement (the “ Receiving Party Personnel ”). The Receiving Party Personnel who have access to any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party will be made aware of the confidentiality provision of this Agreement, and will be required to abide by the terms thereof. Any third party contractors that are given access to Confidential Information of a disclosing Party pursuant to the terms hereof shall be required to sign a written agreement pursuant to which such Receiving Party Personnel agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, which written agreement will expressly state that it is enforceable against such Receiving Party Personnel by the disclosing Party.

(e) Survival . The obligation of confidentiality under this Section 19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years.

SECTION 20 MISCELLANEOUS

(a) Modification; Waiver . This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by the Parties. Any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be waived in writing at any time by the Party entitled to the benefits thereof. No waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or any breach thereof, will be effective unless in writing signed by a duly authorized individual on behalf of the Party against which the waiver is sought to be enforced. No waiver of any term or condition or of any breach of this Agreement will be deemed or will constitute a waiver of any other term or condition or of any later breach (whether or not similar), nor will such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

(b) Entire Agreement . This Agreement, together with the schedules and Pipeline Service Orders and the other agreements executed on the date hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement dated November 18, 2013, by and among Partnership, General Partner, Customer, Operator, Tesoro Corporation and Carson Cogeneration Company, a Delaware corporation, constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the Parties in connection therewith. In the event of a conflict of provisions of this Agreement and the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and among Partnership, General Partner, Customer, Operator, and Tesoro Corporation (“ Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement ”), the provisions of the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement shall prevail with respect to issues related to the contribution of the assets described therein, but not with respect to the ordinary operations of such assets as set forth in this Agreement.

Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal court of competent jurisdiction situated in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division, or if such federal court declines to exercise or does not have jurisdiction, in the district court of Bexar County, Texas. The Parties expressly and irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of said Courts and irrevocably waive any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in such Courts, irrevocably waive any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and further irrevocably waive the right to object, with respect to such claim, action, suit or proceeding brought in any such Court, that such Court does not have jurisdiction over such Party. The Parties hereby irrevocably consent to the service of process by registered mail, postage prepaid, or by personal service within or without the State of Texas. Nothing contained herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.

(e) Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf)) for the convenience of the Parties hereto, each of which counterparts will be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together will constitute one and the same agreement.

(f) Severability . Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be valid and effective under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance will be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision hereof, and the Parties will negotiate in good faith with a view to substitute for such provision a suitable and equitable solution in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.


(g) Independent Contractor . Operator’s relationship to Customer hereunder shall be that of an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make Operator or any of its employees, an agent, associate, joint venturer or partner of Customer.

(h) No Public Use . Operator’s services hereunder shall not be deemed those of a public utility or common carrier. If any action is taken or threatened to declare these services a public use, then, upon notifying Customer, Operator may restructure and restate this Agreement.

(i) No Bonded Services . Operator is not providing a U.S. Customs bonded warehouse service.

(j) No Third Party Beneficiaries . Except as specifically provided in Section 12 herein, it is expressly understood that the provisions of this Agreement do not impart enforceable rights in anyone who is not a Party or successor or permitted assignee of a Party.

(k) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL . EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PERFORMANCE OR FAILURE TO PERFORM OF ANY OBLIGATION HEREUNDER.

Schedule II

Environmental Matters

For Initial Contribution Agreement set forth on Schedule VII:

1. Anchorage #1 Terminal soil and groundwater have been impacted by gasoline and diesel releases from previously buried pipelines. The site is considered characterized and is currently undergoing removal of product from the water table, groundwater treatment, and long-term monitoring.

2. Anchorage #2 Terminal soil and groundwater have been impacted by gasoline releases occurring prior to Tesoro’s purchase of the facility. The site is considered characterized and is currently undergoing groundwater monitoring and treatment. Off-site groundwater investigations are scheduled for 2012.

3. Stockton Terminal soil and groundwater have been impacted by gasoline and diesel releases from pipelines and/or product storage tanks. The site is considered substantially characterized and is undergoing groundwater treatment and groundwater monitoring. Off-site groundwater impacts are commingled with neighboring petroleum storage terminals.

4. Burley Terminal groundwater was impacted by gasoline releases occurring prior to Tesoro’s purchase of the facility. Groundwater impacts were commingled with neighboring petroleum storage terminals. Hydrocarbon concentrations in groundwater samples do not exceed previously established target levels for groundwater and surface water protection. Regulatory closure is pending.

5. Wilmington Sales Terminal soil and groundwater have been impacted by gasoline releases occurring prior to Tesoro’s purchase of the facility. Groundwater investigation and monitoring is on-going. Tesoro is indemnified by the previous owner for Investigation and remediation obligations.

7. The Stockton Terminal emits volatile organic compounds (VOCs) below “major source” emission criteria. In 2010, the San Joaquin Air Quality Management District announced it is reducing its major source threshold. When the Stockton Terminal expands its operations or increases throughput, the potential to emit VOC will increase and the Stockton terminal will become subject to regulation as a major source. This will require a Title V Air Operating Permit. In addition, the Stockton facility will be required to install an automated continuous emission monitor at a cost of approximately $75,000.

(e) In the event that there is an Incident involving a TLLP Facility, which results in one or more of the Tesoro Parties incurring Tesoro Response Costs, then the TLLP Party operating, leasing or subleasing the TLLP Facility for which such costs are incurred shall reimburse and indemnify the Tesoro Parties for the Tesoro Response Costs associated with such Incident; provided however, that such TLLP Party shall not be responsible for reimbursing or indemnifying the Tesoro Parties for any Tesoro Response Costs to the extent that the Incident was attributable to the to the negligent or wrongful actions or omission of such Tesoro Party for which the TLLP Party would have a right of recovery against such Tesoro Party under law, regulation, equity or contract.

(f) In the event that there is an Incident involving a facility owned or leased (but not leased or subleased to a TLLP Party) or operated by one of the Tesoro Parties, which results in one or more of the TLLP Parties incurring TLLP Response Costs, then the Tesoro Party owning, leasing, or operating (but not leasing or subleasing to a TLLP Party) the facility for which such costs are incurred shall reimburse and indemnify the TLLP Parties for the TLLP Response Costs associated with such Incident; provided however, that such Tesoro Party shall not be responsible for reimbursing or indemnifying the TLLP Parties for any TLLP Response Costs to the extent that the Incident was attributable to the to the negligent or wrongful actions or omissions of such TLLP Party for which the Tesoro Party would have a right of recovery against such TLLP Party under law, regulation, equity or contract.

TMC shall be responsible for reimbursing the appropriate Parties for such Incident Response costs to the extent that law, regulation, equity or contract would impose such liability upon TMC as a charterer of the vessel. If the Incident involves a TLLP Facility, the TLLP Parties shall be subrogated to the rights of TMC to recover from the vessel or its insurers the Incident Response Costs incurred by TLLP, either directly or by reason of a reimbursement of the Tesoro Parties pursuant to this Agreement.


(h) In the event that TCI is charged for MSRC/MPA Response Costs relating to Incidents associated with facilities or operations of third parties that are unrelated to any facilities or operations of any of the Parties or vessels chartered or otherwise utilized by TCI, then the Parties shall negotiate a fair and equitable allocation of costs among themselves, based upon the nature of the costs and the Incident that resulted in the MSRC/MPA Response Costs and the respective relationships of the Parties with regard to such Incident.

(i) In no event shall any allocation of Incident Response Costs be made or required hereunder that would cause the Incident to be regarded as more than one occurrence with respect to all of the Parties’ collective insurance coverages or that would expose the Parties to multiple insurance deductibles or self-insured retentions or otherwise limit or exclude insurance coverage with respect to such Incident, nor shall any provision of this agreement or any condition of TCI’s representation of the Parties as a member in MPA be construed to provide such a result. If any Party recovers any MSRC/MPA Response Costs from the owner, operator, charterer or insurer of a vessel or any other third party or any insurer, then such recovery shall be credited against and reduce and/or provide reimbursement for any Incident Response Costs that otherwise might be owed or have been paid by the other Parties hereto.

(j) This Agreement does not supersede or control over any allocation of Incident Response Costs that may be set forth in specific Operating Agreements, use and throughput agreements or other service agreements between the TLLP Parties and the Tesoro Parties regarding operation and use of the TLLP Facilities. The provisions of these agreements shall be harmonized with the provisions of this Agreement to the maximum extent possible. In the event of any conflict between the various terms, the provisions of the applicable Operating Agreement, use and throughput agreement or service agreement shall control over the terms of this Agreement.

5. Additions to TLLP Facilities . The Parties anticipate that in the future, TLLP will acquire, lease or sublease additional logistics facilities from Tesoro Parties or from third parties, and that the Parties may agree that the Tesoro Parties should provide oil spill contingency planning and response services for those additional facilities. Upon such acquisition and agreement, each such facility will automatically become a TLLP Facility, subject to this Agreement.


6. Term and Termination . This Agreement shall continue until December 31, 2013 and shall renew for successive periods of one year thereafter, unless terminated by any Party upon sixty (60) days advance written notice. The Parties shall periodically evaluate whether the allocation of MPA Operating Costs set forth herein and the agreement not to include such MPA Operating Costs or MSRC Service Fees as components of tariffs and fees remains appropriate under conditions as they may exist from time to time. At any time after December 31, 2013, any Party may request renegotiation of all or any part of this Agreement, and the Parties shall then negotiate in good faith to make reasonable arrangements regarding future allocations of MPA Operating Costs, MSRC Service Fees and related adjustments of tariff and fee structures. In the event the Parties are unable to reach a consensus on any appropriate adjustments, then any Party may terminate this Agreement upon ten (10) days advance written notice as to subsequent costs incurred by TCI, but such termination shall not invalidate this Agreement as to costs incurred by TCI prior to the effective date of such termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, TCI may rescind its designation of the other Parties as covered entities with respect to TCI’s membership in MPA.

7. Parent Guaranties and COFRs. For TLLP Facilities that are operated, leased or subleased by a TLLP Party, but are owned or leased by a Tesoro Party, then the Tesoro Party or its parent, Tesoro Corporation may be required to post or provide a parent guaranty or a Certificate of Financial Responsibility (“ COFR ”) to demonstrate adequate financial ability to pay for any Incident Response Costs that might be associated with Incidents at such TLLP Facility. The TLLP Party operating, leasing or subleasing the TLLP Facility shall release, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Tesoro Party owning or leasing such TLLP Facility from and against any such Incident Response Costs as provided herein and any other damages, losses, expenses or fees which the Tesoro Party may incur under the Tesoro Party’s parent guaranty or COFR resulting from the TLLP Party’s operation leasing or subleasing of the TLLP Facility prior to acceptance by the California Department of Fish and Game of TLO’s COFR. Tesoro Corporation shall be (i) subrogated to the rights of such Tesoro Party to receive such reimbursement to the extent that Tesoro Corporation is obligated to pay or guarantee payment of such Incident Response Costs pursuant to any such parent guaranty or COFR, and (ii) entitled to receive reimbursement from TLLP for any incremental costs or expenses incurred by it or a Tesoro Party in connection with the posting of a COFR for a TLLP Facility. In the event of a conflict of provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Carson Asset Indemnity Agreement dated as of the date hereof, by and among TLGP, TLLP, TLO, Tesoro Corporation, and TRMC , the provisions of the Carson Asset Indemnity Agreement shall prevail with respect to issues related to the contribution of the assets described therein, but not with respect to the ordinary operations of such assets.

No waiver of any term or condition or of any breach of this Agreement will be deemed or will constitute a waiver of any other term or condition or of any later breach (whether or not similar), nor will such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

(c) Governing Law; Jurisdiction . This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal district court of competent jurisdiction in Bexar County, Texas.

Tesoro Corporation Contributes Second Portion of Los Angeles Logistics Assets to Tesoro Logistics LP

SAN ANTONIO – December 6, 2013 - Tesoro Corporation (NYSE: TSO) and Tesoro Logistics LP (NYSE: TLLP) today announced that Tesoro Corporation (“Tesoro”) has contributed the majority of the remaining Los Angeles Logistics Assets (the “Los Angeles Logistics Assets”) owned by Tesoro’s subsidiary, Tesoro Refining & Marketing Company LLC, to Tesoro Logistics LP (“the Partnership”) for total consideration of $650 million. Consideration for the Los Angeles Logistics Assets contributed to the Partnership since the Los Angeles Acquisition on June 1, 2013 now totals $1.3 billion. Net cash proceeds to Tesoro from these contributions total $1.1 billion.

“With this sale, Tesoro has funded about half of the $2.4 billion Los Angeles acquisition purchase price with funds generated from sale of logistics assets embedded in the system of assets acquired,” said Greg Goff, President and CEO. “Using Tesoro Logistics to fund the acquisition is driving significant value to Tesoro’s shareholders.”

The purchase price of $650 million included cash proceeds of $585 million and Partnership equity valued at approximately $65 million. The equity consideration was based on the average daily closing price of TLLP’s common units for the 10 trading days prior to closing, or $50.86 per unit, with 1,126,348 units in the form of common units and 151,695 units in the form of general partner units.

The Los Angeles Logistics Assets, located near Tesoro’s Los Angeles, California refinery, include:

 

    Two marine terminals with expected throughput of 285,000 barrels per day, which includes a marine terminal capable of handling a two million barrel capacity Very Large Crude Carrier.

 

    Over 100 miles of active crude oil and refined products pipeline system connecting Tesoro’s Los Angeles refining complex with the acquired marine terminal facilities and TLLP’s Los Angeles area refined products terminal and storage facilities, with initial expected throughput of 550,000 barrels per day.

 

    Dedicated crude oil and refined products storage terminals with capacity of 2.0 million barrels.

 

    A petroleum coke handling and storage facility with an expected throughput of 2,600 metric tons per day, a refined products terminal and a shipping container storage lot.

The company intends to use the proceeds to repay an additional $300 million of the remaining $700 million of interim borrowings used to fund the Los Angeles Acquisition, taking Tesoro’s leverage, excluding TLLP, to 27% pro-forma as of September 30, 2013.

Tesoro Corporation, a Fortune 100 company, is an independent refiner and marketer of petroleum products. Tesoro, through its subsidiaries, operates six refineries in the western United States with a combined capacity of 850,000 barrels per day. Tesoro’s retail-marketing system includes over 2,250 retail stations under the Tesoro ® , Shell ® , ARCO ® , Exxon ® , Mobil ® and USA Gasoline™ brands.
