  (i) Workers Compensation with statutory limits as required by the jurisdiction where employees of the Company are hired and Employer’s Liability coverage for injury, sickness, disability or death of employees in a minimum amount no less than $1,000,000 per accident, $1,000,000 per employee and $1,000,000 per disease or in amounts otherwise required by local legislation;

  (iii) Commercial general liability coverage written on an “occurrence” policy for bodily injury and property damage, including premises/operations, products/completed operations, contractual liability, personal injury, liability arising out of wharfinger, terminal operator and/or stevedoring operations and loss, Contamination or degradation of Inventory and “sudden and accidental pollution” liability coverage (excluding events that result in acidic deposition).

  (iv)

Umbrella and/or excess liability policies providing coverage in excess of the types and amounts required (i) as to Employer’s Liability, (i) and (iii) above, not including Contamination or degradation of Inventory but including “sudden and accidental pollution” liability coverage required in (iii) above (excluding events that result in acidic deposition), with policy limits not lower than those required by applicable law and in line with industry standards as applied to a comparable asset, but in no event less than

 

25


  $300,000,000 per occurrence and in the aggregate; provided that, to the extent the policy aggregate is reduced to less than $200,000,000 by insured claims, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reinstate the aggregate and/or purchase additional insurance such that available policy limits are not less than $200,000,000, in the aggregate; provided that failure by the Company to reinstate the aggregate or purchase additional insurance to such level within ninety (90) days shall constitute an Event of Default under Section 12.1(c) hereof;

 

  (v) Environmental liability coverage for bodily injury, property damage, on-site clean-up and off-site clean-up as the result of gradual seepage and pollution (excluding events that result in acidic deposition), with policy limits not lower than those required by applicable law and in line with industry standards as applied to a comparable asset, but in no event lower than $50,000,000 per claim;

 

  (vi) All-Risk property insurance (including, but not limited to, windstorm, earthquake and flood) covering damage to the Facilities on a repair or replacement cost basis (no co-insurance or a waiver thereof) and in an amount sufficient to repair major components of the Facilities as reasonably determined pursuant to an engineering report prepared by an expert recognized by underwriters for such purpose or a loss limit reasonably acceptable to Barclays. Such all-risk property insurance shall be subject to sublimits, aggregates, deductibles and other terms, conditions and exclusions that are reasonably acceptable to Barclays; and shall include business interruption and extra expense insurance in an amount equal to the projected annual net income from the Refinery, the Facilities and Tanks plus any carrying costs and extraordinary expenses, for a period of eighteen (18) months, based upon Company’s reasonable estimate thereof as approved by Barclays; and

 

  (vii) mortgage title insurance covering the Refinery naming the ABL Collateral Agent, the Inventory Collateral Agent and Barclays as the beneficiary.

 

(d) The insurance policy limit requirements under Section 8(a) may be satisfied by a combination of primary and excess policies issued by insurance carriers having the qualifications required under Section 8(a). Any deductible or retentions applicable to the policies shall be the sole responsibility of the Company.

 

(e) The Company shall cause its insurance carriers or its authorized insurance broker to furnish Barclays with insurance certificates (and such other information reasonably requested by Barclays in the form of copies of insurance binders and policies), in a form reasonably satisfactory to Barclays, evidencing the existence of the coverage required pursuant to Section 8(a). To the extent commercially available, the policies required pursuant to Section 8(a) shall provide at least thirty (30) days’, or in the case of non-payment of premium at least ten (10) days’, written notice of cancellation to Barclays. The Company shall be required to provide prompt written notice to Barclays of any termination or material change in the insurance required to be obtained and maintained pursuant to Section 8(a). The Company shall also provide renewal certificates as soon as possible but in no event more than thirty (30) days after expiration of the policy under which coverage is maintained.

 

(f)

Each of the insurance policies indicated in Section 8(c)(i) through Section 8(c)(vi) shall include an endorsement that the insurer(s) agree to include the ABL Collateral Agent, the Inventory Collateral Agent, Barclays, its Affiliates, and each of their directors, officers, employees,

 

26


  representatives, agents and contractors as additional insureds (whether through a blanket endorsement as required by contract or through an endorsement specifically naming the required parties), shall state that such insurances shall be primary and non-contributory with respect to insurance maintained by such additional insureds and shall include a separation of insureds or severability of interest clause with no exclusions for cross-liability (to the extent commercially available).

 

(g) Each of the insurance policies indicated in Section 8(c)(i) through Section 8(c)(vi) shall include an endorsement that the insurers agree to waive all rights of subrogation against Barclays, its Affiliates, and each of their directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and contractors. In addition, Company hereby agrees to waive all rights of subrogation against Barclays, its Affiliates, and each of their directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and contractors.

 

  (h) The Company will maintain insurance coverage in substantially similar form and substance as in effect as of the Initial Purchase Date and in line with industry standards for a refinery, storage and terminaling entity of similar size, configuration and complexity, taking into account any unique characteristics, but in no event in scope or amount less than the requirements set forth in the other provisions of this Section 8.

 

(i) All Insurance Proceeds shall be applied in the manner contemplated in Section 5 of the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(j) The mere purchase and existence of insurance coverage does not release any Party from any Losses incurred or assumed under this Agreement.

 

9. FORCE MAJEURE

 

9.1 Relief from performance

 

(a) No Party shall be liable to any other Party if it is rendered unable by an event of Force Majeure to perform, in whole or in part, any obligation or condition of this Agreement (other than any obligation or condition under Sections 3.5(c) to 3.5(d) (Receipts into and deliveries out of the Facilities) and 5.1(b) (Title)), provided that:

 

  (i) the Company shall be released from any such obligation only to the extent Barclays is or would be excused from performance thereof as a result of Force Majeure under the ISDA Master Agreement or the Crude Agreements, as applicable, for so long as the event of Force Majeure exists and to the extent such performance is hindered by the Force Majeure; and

 

  (ii) the entity unable to so perform shall use commercially reasonable efforts (and for the Company, in accordance with Good Industry Practice), to avoid, overcome or ameliorate the event of Force Majeure.

 

(b) During the period that performance by the Company of the whole or part of any obligation has been suspended by reason of an event of Force Majeure pursuant to paragraph (a) above, Barclays likewise may suspend the performance (including payment) of the whole or part of its obligations to the extent that such suspension is commercially reasonable.

 

27


(c) If the Company is affected by an event of Force Majeure and some or all of the Facilities are restricted or unavailable for Barclays’ use, the Company shall adjust the storage charges payable under Section 4 (Storage and Services Fees) proportionately so that Barclays is obligated to pay the Company only for Terminaling and Transport Services actually available to Barclays.

 

9.2 Notice of Force Majeure

 

(a) If the Company is unable to perform due to an event of Force Majeure, it shall notify Barclays within one (1) Business Day of becoming aware of the occurrence of Force Majeure, including all such known details and expected duration of the Force Majeure and the volume of Inventory affected. The Company also shall promptly notify Barclays when the Force Majeure ends.

 

(b) If Barclays is unable to perform due to an event of Force Majeure, Barclays shall notify the Company within one (1) Business Day of becoming aware of the occurrence of Force Majeure, including all such known details and expected duration of the Force Majeure and the volume of Inventory affected. Barclays also shall promptly notify the Company when the Force Majeure ends.

 

9.3 Substitute Tank(s)

 

(a) If a Tank(s) is unavailable due to an event of Force Majeure, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or procure suitable substitute tank(s) for Barclays.

 

(b) The transfer of Barclays’ Inventory from the affected Tank(s) to any substitute tank(s) shall be at the Company’s sole expense.

 

(c) Any such substitute tank(s) and the transfer to and from such substitute tank(s) will be covered by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.3 (Commingling) and 5.1(b) (Title)). For the avoidance of doubt, any transfer of Barclays’ Inventory from a Tank to another tank pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall constitute customary handling for the purposes of Section 3.7 (Inventory, accounting and Losses).

 

(d) Upon the termination of the Force Majeure event, the Company shall also be responsible for any transfer of Barclays’ Inventory from the substitute tank(s) back to the original Tank(s). Such transfers shall also constitute customary handling for the purposes of Section 3.7 (Inventory, accounting and Losses).

 

10. INDEMNIFICATION

 

10.1 Indemnity

 

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Company shall defend, indemnify, pay, reimburse and hold harmless Barclays (for and on behalf of any Indemnified Person) from and against all Losses directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any Indemnified Person related in any way to the System, any related assets or otherwise relating to this or any other Inventory Document to the extent arising out of (i) a breach by the Company of its obligations, agreements, representations or warranties under this Agreement, (ii) the failure of the Company to act in accordance with Good Industry Practice, or (iii) the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Company, except to the extent that such Losses are caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of Barclays, its employees or its agents.

 

28


(b) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Barclays shall defend, indemnify, pay, reimburse and hold harmless the Company (for and on behalf of any Company Indemnified Person) from and against all Losses directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any Company Indemnified Person related in any way to the System, any related assets or otherwise relating to this or any other Inventory Document caused by (i) a breach by Barclays of its obligations, agreements, representations or warranties under this Agreement, or (ii) the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of Barclays, its employees or its agents.

 

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Company shall, on demand, defend, indemnify, pay, reimburse and hold harmless Barclays (for and on behalf of itself and any other Indemnified Person) for and against all Losses suffered or incurred directly or indirectly by any Indemnified Person (acting reasonably) in connection with any Environmental Matter to the extent arising at any time when the Company has custody and control of Barclays’ Inventory.

 

(d) In the event of any Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Substance from the System or any component thereof while Crude Oil and/or Products owned by Barclays or any of its Affiliates (or which Barclays or any of its Affiliates have any interest in or rights concerning) are in the custody and/or control of the Company (and/or of its Affiliates), the following shall apply:

 

  (i) the Company shall take all necessary action and/or work (including, but not limited to, all remedial action) in order to prevent any further Release of Hazardous Substance and to mitigate the presence and/or effect of any Hazardous Substance which has been Released to a standard required pursuant to Environmental Laws and/or the requirements of any Environmental Approval and/or any regulatory authority;

 

  (ii) the Company shall immediately notify (in writing) Barclays of any material Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Substance which is likely to be subject to the action and/or steps described in this Section 10.1(d); and

 

  (iii) any action and/or work carried out under this Section 10.1(d) or otherwise shall be performed in accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws and the requirements of any regulatory authority (including any port or marine authorities).

 

(e) In the event that a Party suffers or incurs any Losses as a result of the Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Substance (in the circumstances described above), nothing in this Section 10 shall prohibit or restrict the recovery of such Losses from any other Party (or third party) under Environmental Laws except that no Party shall be entitled to recover where the Losses arose from their failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement.

 

10.2 Indemnity Procedure

All claims for indemnification under this Agreement shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

 

  (a) For purposes of this Agreement, the term Indemnifying Party when used in connection with particular Losses shall mean the Party or Parties having an obligation to indemnify another Party or Parties with respect to such Losses under this Agreement, and the term Indemnified Party when used in connection with particular Losses shall mean the Party or Parties having the right to be indemnified with respect to such Losses by another Party or Parties pursuant to this Agreement.

 

29


  (b) To make claim for indemnification under this Agreement, an Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party of its claim under this Section 10.2 (Indemnity Procedure) including the specific details of and specific basis under this Agreement for its claim (the Claim Notice). In the event that the claim for indemnification is based upon a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall provide its Third Party Claim Notice promptly after the Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of the Third Party Claim and shall enclose a copy of all papers (if any) served with respect to the Third Party Claim; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice of a Third Party Claim as provided in this paragraph (b) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent such failure results in insufficient time being available to permit the Indemnifying Party to effectively defend against the Third Party Claim or otherwise materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against the Third Party Claim. In the event that the claim for indemnification is based upon an inaccuracy or breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, the Third Party Claim Notice shall specify the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that was inaccurate or breached.

 

  (c) The Parties shall consult with each other regarding any claims made by a counterparty, pipeline operator, terminal operator, vessel owner, supplier, Crude Supplier or transporter against Barclays or any claims that Barclays may bring against any such person. Barclays agrees to take commercially reasonable actions in the handling of such claims, including the prosecution or defense thereof. At Barclays’ request, Company may assist in the prosecution or defense of such claims.

 

11. LIMITATION

 

(a) Other than in relation to any Losses arising from any Third Party Claims, neither Party shall be liable to the other in any way for loss of use, loss of profit or incentive payments, loss of production or business interruption or for any kind of incidental, indirect, consequential or punitive loss or damage, which is connected with any claim or indemnity arising under or given in this Agreement or the subject matter of this Agreement (howsoever caused).

 

(b) Each Party shall take such steps as may be reasonably required to mitigate any Losses it may suffer from time to time.

 

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event of any Loss or losses of Barclays inventory covered by Section 3.7 hereof which is the subject of insurances, the Party experiencing such Loss or losses shall first seek recovery under the relevant insurance before seeking recovery under the indemnification or payment provisions of this Agreement or the Agency and Advisory Agreement. Any recovery by such Party (net of the costs to such Party of pursuing such claim) (the Recovery) from the insurers in respect of such a claim shall reduce the amount of Losses for the purpose of any indemnity contained in the Inventory Documents. Each of Barclays and the Company shall provide an accounting and reconciliation of all such Recoveries on a monthly basis, with the amounts of such Recoveries credited or debited, as applicable, in the monthly invoicing provisions contained in the Inventory Documents.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Section 11 is intended to prevent the recovery by Barclays of any hedge breakage costs under Section 3.7(b)(iii)(B) (Inventory, accounting and Losses).

 

30


12. DEFAULT AND TERMINATION

 

12.1 Default

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, an Event of Default shall occur in respect of this Agreement when:

 

  (a) A Party fails to make payment when due under this Agreement within two (2) Business Days of a written demand therefor (excluding any payment that is the subject of a good faith dispute but only to the extent of such disputed amount).

 

  (b) Either Party fails to perform any obligation under this Agreement:

 

  (i) in the case of a cancellation or material change in insurance policies required under Section 8 (Insurance) without notice to the other Party pursuant to Section 16 (Notices), in all respects; or

 

  (ii) in the case of an obligation under any other provision of this Agreement, in any material respect, provided that such failure to perform has or could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,

which is not cured within ten (10) Business Days from the earlier of (i) the date that such Party receives notice that corrective action is needed and (ii) the date such Party becomes aware of such failure, or if curing such non-compliance reasonably requires more than ten (10) Business Days, then the defaulting Party commences such cure within such ten (10) Business Day period and diligently prosecutes and completes such cure within sixty (60) days thereafter.

 

  (c) The Company does not, within ninety (90) days of an event as described in Section 8(c)(iv), reinstate its umbrella and/or excess liability policy to no less than $200,000,000 in the aggregate.

 

12.2 Suspension and Termination

 

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Party which is not in default (the Performing Party) shall in its sole discretion and upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Party in default (the Defaulting Party), be entitled to terminate this Agreement effective upon the date specified in such notice (a Termination Date).

 

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of the Defaulting Party, the Performing Party may suspend its performance under this Agreement, including making payments under this Agreement.

 

(c) As soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of a notice of termination, Barclays shall be required, in consultation with the Company, to take commercially reasonable steps to liquidate its inventory.

 

(d) Paragraph (a) above is the sole and exclusive circumstance in which this Agreement shall terminate prior to the expiry of the Term.

 

31


(e) Notwithstanding any provision of the ISDA Master Agreement, the Framework Agreement, the Agency and Advisory Agreement or this Agreement to the contrary, Barclays shall be entitled to remove all of its Inventory from the Facilities at any time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

13. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE

The Parties agree that the failure of the Defaulting Party to comply with the terms of this Agreement will cause irreparable injury to the Performing Party, which may not properly or adequately be compensated by the mere payment of money. The Parties agree, therefore, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Performing Party, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to the Performing Party, shall have the right to obtain from any competent court an order that the terms of this Agreement be specifically enforced.

 

14. ASSIGNMENT AND CHANGES TO THE PARTIES

 

(a) Subject to paragraph (c) below, either Party may assign, transfer, sub-contract or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any purported assignment, transfer, sub-contract or delegation in violation of this provision shall be void and of no effect.

 

(b) Without prejudice to paragraph (a) above, in the event of any assignment by the Company, the assignor shall remain jointly and severally liable with the assignee for the full performance of the assignor’s obligations under this Agreement, unless Barclays otherwise agrees in writing.

 

(c) Barclays may (i) at its discretion assign, transfer or delegate to any of its Subsidiaries any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company, and (ii) at any time pledge or grant a Security Interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of Barclays, including any pledge or assignment to a U.S. Federal Reserve Bank, and the provisions in this Section (other than the provisions of this subsection) shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a Security Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any assignment, pledge or grant by Barclays as contemplated in this paragraph (c), Barclays shall not, to the extent permissible by law, assign, grant or pledge any rights that are greater than or in violation of Barclays’ rights under this Agreement.

Delay in exercising or non-exercise of any right is not a waiver of that right.

20. COMPLETE AGREEMENT

 

(a) This Agreement, and the documents referred to in it, contains the complete agreement between the Parties on the matters to which it relates and supersedes all prior commitments, agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, on those matters.

(b) Each Party:

36


22. SURVIVAL

 

(a) This Section 22 and the following provisions of this Agreement (and any defined terms, Section and/or Schedules referred to in them and/or necessary in order to give effect to them) including all rights and obligations arising under those provisions will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding termination of this Agreement:

25. ENFORCEMENT

 

25.1 Jurisdiction

The Parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or U.S. Federal court sitting in the City and County of New York for the settlement of any dispute in connection with this Agreement. The New York courts are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle any such dispute and each Party waives objection to those courts on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise in relation to proceedings in connection with this Agreement.

 

25.2 Waiver of immunity

The Company irrevocably and unconditionally:

 

  (a) agrees not to claim any immunity from proceedings brought by Barclays against the Company in relation to this Agreement and to ensure that no such claim is made on its behalf;

 

  (b) consents generally to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with those proceedings; and
