ARTICLE VI
DELIVERY
6.1 Notification and Product Delivery. Subject to the minimum and maximum
amounts specified in Section 4.1, BUYER will provide SELLER notice
("Nomination") of the amount to be sold and delivered by SELLER and bought and
received by BUYER for each calendar month no later than seventy-five (75) days
prior to the first day of said month ("Nomination Month"). The Nomination shall
specify both the quantities of Product and the delivery timing for the amount to
be sold for the first and second half of the Nomination Month, respectively. No
later than 10 days prior to the beginning of each calendar month, SELLER will
provide BUYER a schedule of deliveries to be made for the following two months.
The delivery
8
schedule shall specify the approximate quantity, the approximate date and a
characterization of the approximate viscosity, either low, 100 - 200 SSU at 210
▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ - ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ at 210 DF or high, over 350 SSU at 210 DF of each
separate delivery. SELLER shall notify BUYER of a change to said delivery
schedule because of one of the following causes with respect to each individual
delivery when it shall become known to SELLER:
a) A change in volume, if such change is in excess of 10% of the
previously advised delivery volume; or
b) A change in date, if such change is greater than 2 days from the
previously advised date; or
c) A change in the previously advised viscosity characterization.
BUYER shall not be required to take Delivery, and SELLER shall not be
required to make Delivery of more than fifty percent of a monthly nomination in
any ten consecutive day period. The minimum and maximum amounts specified in
Section 4.1 to be delivered in any given month may be further modified upon
mutual agreement of the parties.
If for reasons other than Force Majeure, BUYER's anticipated demand for
LSFO on an annual basis during any calendar year during the term of this
Contract declines below the BUYER's minimum annual quantity set forth in Section
4.1 (the difference between BUYER's anticipated demand and BUYER's minimum
annual quantity being a "Purchase Deficit Position"), then BUYER shall give
prompt written notice to SELLER.
9
If for reasons other than Force Majeure, SELLER shall have delivered
Product for the Nomination Month such that the delivery rate, expressed in
barrels per day, is below 85% of the nominated volume as computed on a month-to-
date ratable basis, found by multiplying the day of the Nomination Month by the
nominated rate of delivery for that month ("Failure to Supply Position"), then
SELLER shall give prompt written notice to BUYER.
6.2 Title and Risk of Loss. Title to Product and the risk of loss of
Product shall pass to BUYER at the connection between the flange of SELLER's
pipeline and BUYER's tank farm pipeline at ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Point.
6.3 Determination of Quality. The quality and heat content of the Product
shall be determined on the basis of a composite sample(s) drawn by a mutually
agreed upon independent inspector from SELLER's issuing tank(s) in such a manner
as to be representative of each individual Delivery. SELLER and BUYER shall
share equally the cost of independent inspections. If the Delivery of Product
is from more than one issuing tank, the specifications of the total Delivery of
Product shall be determined on a volumetric weighted average from the
representative samples drawn by the independent inspector. The representative
samples drawn from SELLER's tank(s) shall be divided into a minimum of three (3)
parts:
1. One part shall be used by for an analysis by SELLER's laboratory to
determine quality and heat content (gross Btu) per barrel.
2. One part shall be provided to BUYER for the purpose of verifying
SELLER's determinations.
10
3. At least one part shall be sealed and provided to BUYER, or to the
independent inspector, to be retained.
SELLER agrees to provide BUYER a copy of SELLER's laboratory analyses of
the tank final samples, or a preliminary laboratory analyses if the analyses of
the tank final samples is not available, showing sulfur content, flash point and
sediment and water content prior to commencing delivery of the Product,
provided, however, that SELLER shall provide BUYER the complete Certificate of
Quality no later than two working days after the completion of the Delivery.
BUYER shall have the right to perform laboratory analyses in order to verify the
results of SELLER's laboratory analyses. The official determination of gross
heat content shall be based upon SELLER's laboratory results provided that the
arithmetic difference between SELLER's and BUYER's laboratory results is equal
or less than the then existing reproducibility standard (currently 0.40 MJ/kg)
for ASTM test D-240. If the difference between SELLER's and BUYER's laboratory
results is greater than this ASTM reproducibility standard, the parties will
confer, in good faith, to resolve the difference. In the event of an
unresolvable difference between BUYER and SELLER, BUYER's sealed sample will be
provided to an independent laboratory for an official determination, which shall
be binding upon the parties. SELLER and BUYER shall share equally the costs of
independent tests and determinations.
The Product received by BUYER in a Delivery may include some amount of
pipeline displacement stock ("Pipeline Fill"). The specification of the Pipeline
Fill shall be determined by the SELLER on the basis of SELLER's representative
sample of the storage tank from the which
11
the Pipeline Fill was issued. SELLER agrees to provide BUYER a copy of a
laboratory analysis of the Pipeline Fill's specifications prior to shipment.
To provide an early warning of any quality problems with the Product,
SELLER agrees to perform a pre-shipment computer simulation blend ("Blend") of
LSFO from each issuing tank and Pipeline Fill on a volumetric weighted average
basis. The computer simulation shall provide confirmation of the Blend's API
gravity, viscosity and percent by weight sulfur content. SELLER agrees to inform
BUYER or BUYER's representative of the Blend results prior to shipment.
SELLER agrees that under no circumstances shall it deliver Product to BUYER
should the percent by weight of sulfur content of the Blend, determined by
computing the weighted average by volume of LSFO issued from the SELLER's
tank(s) and the Pipeline Fill volume, be greater than 0.50%, without BUYER's
express written permission.
If SELLER or BUYER has reason to believe that the quality or quantity of
Product stated for a specific Delivery per Section 6.3 or Section 6.4 is
incorrect, that party shall within thirty (30) days after the later of the date
of the complete Certificate of Quality or the date of the final determination of
gross heat content, present the other party with documents supporting such
determination and the parties will confer, in good faith, on the causes for the
discrepancy and shall proceed to correct such causes and adjust the quality and
quantity, if justified, for the Delivery in question. In the event of an
unresolvable difference between SELLER and BUYER, the sealed part of the
representative sample in the possession of BUYER or the independent
12
inspector shall be provided to an independent laboratory for an official
determination, which shall be final. SELLER and BUYER shall share equally the
cost for such independent laboratory determination.
If the quality of the Product received by BUYER fails to conform to the
requirements of Article III of this Contract, both BUYER and SELLER shall
attempt to minimize the impact of any quality problem by specification waiver if
the use of the Product will not unreasonably cause harm to BUYER, or by SELLER
delivering higher quality oil in a timely manner to produce a specification
quality blend in BUYER's storage tank(s). If all such, and similar, efforts
fail to resolve the quality problem, then BUYER may return non-specification
Product to SELLER, in which case SELLER shall replace the non-specification
Product to BUYER in a timely manner. All reasonable costs and expenses,
including BUYER's handling costs incurred in returning and replacing non-
specification Product, shall be paid by SELLER.
6.4 Determination of Quantity. Quantities of the Product delivered
hereunder shall be determined at the time of each Delivery by gauging SELLER's
tank(s) immediately before and after pumping. Volumes delivered hereunder shall
be converted to 60 [degrees] F, using the latest revision of ASTM Table 6B.
Measurements shall be taken jointly by representatives of SELLER and BUYER or by
a mutually agreed upon independent inspector. SELLER and BUYER shall share
equally the cost of independent inspections.
6.5 Purchase Deficit.

------------------------------------------------------------------
6.6 Failure to Supply. In the event that the SELLER is in a Failure To
Supply Position, both BUYER and SELLER shall attempt to minimize the impact of
any Failure To Supply Position such that it not impose an unreasonable risk to
BUYER. If the amount of deficient Product is such that SELLER's Delivery of
Product to BUYER in the Nomination Month at the nominated volume, as computed on
a month-to-date ratable basis, is deficient in aggregate by 50,000 barrels,
BUYER may, at its option, purchase the undelivered Product elsewhere at the then
prevailing market rates. The BUYER will invoice, and the SELLER shall pay, the
cost difference between purchased Product and cost of Product if it had been
delivered by SELLER. If the BUYER elects to purchase Product from other sources
under this Section 6.6, the annual purchase requirement referenced in Section
4.1 and Section 6.1 shall be reduced correspondingly.
14
ARTICLE VII
PAYMENT
7.1 Method of Payment. Invoices shall be prepared by SELLER after a
Delivery has been completed. Invoices shall be accompanied by full
documentation, acceptable to the BUYER, including quality certificates, quantity
documentation, and price calculation. Payment shall be made without discount in
USD within 7 business days from the receipt of invoice by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to:
Citibank, New York
ABA # ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
BHP Petroleum Americas Refining Inc.
Account #▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
7.2 Payments. If SELLER's final laboratory result for gross heat content
is unavailable or if said laboratory result is disputed by BUYER pursuant to
Section 6.3, SELLER may issue a provisional invoice calculated on the basis of
the heat-content standard of 6.2 million BTU per barrel. BUYER shall make
payment for such provisional invoice in accordance with Section 7.1. If an
invoice incorporating an item other than a heat rate adjustment which is
disputed has been sent to BUYER, then BUYER shall make payment in accordance
with Section 7.1 for such invoice items or that portion of the invoiced delivery
which is not disputed by BUYER and in which case BUYER shall make such
adjustment to taxes and other value-dependent items as are reasonable under the
circumstances. The provisional invoice or invoice incorporating items in
dispute shall be adjusted in accordance with the terms of Article V by
subsequent invoicing or by issuing a credit or debit with respect to the
original invoice within 7
15
business days of receipt of the independent laboratory determination pursuant to
Section 6.3 or other resolution of the issue in dispute. BUYER shall make
payment for such subsequent invoices or debits in accordance with Section 7.1.
BUYER shall have the option to apply such credit against payments to be made
subsequent to the receipt of the credit, or if such payments are not expected to
be made within 7 business days, BUYER shall be able to receive said credit in
immediately available funds within 3 business days of SELLER's receipt of
BUYER's written instructions.
7.3 Interest. Interest will accrue on all amounts not paid within 7
business days of receipt of provisional or final invoice at the then existing
London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR).

ARTICLE IX
RENEGOTIATION
It is understood and agreed that both parties entered into this Contract in
reliance on governmental laws, rules, decrees, orders, regulations, and
interpretations or implementation thereof in effect on the date of execution of
this Contract or any subsequent amendments hereto, to the extent that they
directly or indirectly affect the Product sold hereunder. If at any time any of
the said laws, rules, regulations, implementations or interpretations thereof
are changed or if new laws, rules, regulations or new interpretations and
implementations thereof become effective, and such change or new laws, rules,
regulations, interpretations or implementations thereof have a significant
adverse economic effect upon either party, such that performance of this
Contract would be inequitable or cause financial hardship to the affected party,
then the affected party shall have the option to call for renegotiation of the
Product Price or any other provision of this Contract the performance of which
by the affected party would be inequitable or cause financial
17
hardship. Such option shall be exercised by the affected party at any time
after such a change or new law, rule, regulation, interpretation or
implementation thereof is effective, by giving notice to the other party of the
call to renegotiate. Within ten (10) calendar days after the date of such
notice, the parties shall enter into negotiations and in the event that the
parties do not agree upon a new Product Price or other provision satisfactory to
both parties within forty (40) calendar days after the date of such notice, the
affected party shall have the right to terminate this Contract effective thirty
(30) days after giving notice of termination to the other party within thirty
(30) days immediately following the forty (40) day negotiation period. Until a
mutually satisfactory new Product Price or other provision has been agreed upon,
or until this Contract is terminated as provided herein, the Product Price or
other provision that was in effect when the request for renegotiation was made
shall continue in full force and effect.
ARTICLE X
TAXES, ASSESSMENTS, LEVIES AND IMPOSTS
BUYER shall reimburse SELLER for all taxes, assessments, levies and imposts
of whatsoever kind or nature imposed on SELLER by any governmental or quasi-
governmental body (including without limitation the Hawaii Gross Excise Tax)
with respect to the sale of Product under this Contract. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, BUYER shall not be required to reimburse SELLER for any tax measured
by or based on the net income of SELLER or for real
18
property taxes or to duplicate any item of expense of SELLER which is included
in the Product Price as provided for in Section 4.2 and Article V of this
Contract.
ARTICLE XI
FORCE MAJEURE
11.1 Force Majeure. As used in this contract, an event or act of "force
majeure" is defined as follows: acts of God, wars, riots, strikes, labor
disputes, lockouts, blockades, insurrections, inability to secure materials or
labor by reason of allocations promulgated by governmental agencies,
unavailability of shipping of crude oil supplies, epidemics, landslides,
lightning, earthquakes, fires, floods, tidal waves, volcanic eruptions,
explosions, failure of machinery or pipelines, or any other causes not within
the control of the affected party.
11.2 Obligations Suspended. BUYER's obligation to purchase or receive
Product, or SELLER's obligation to sell or delivery Product, shall be suspended
to the extent performance is prevented by an event or act of force majeure for
any period in which such event or act exists as to the party claiming force
majeure; and so long as such party is exercising its good faith efforts to
overcome such force majeure event. However, nothing in this Article excuses
BUYER from its obligation to make payments of money due SELLER for Product
already delivered to BUYER.
11.3 Notice of Force Majeure. The party claiming force majeure agrees to
give the other party prompt written notice of an act or event of force majeure.
The party claiming force majeure shall use due diligence to cure any act or
event of force majeure, and shall give the other
19
party prompt notice after the act or event of force majeure has terminated.
This Article shall not require any party to settle or compromise any strike or
labor dispute.
11.4 No Make-Up Requirement. After the act or event of force majeure has
terminated, SELLER shall not be obligated to sell and deliver and BUYER shall
not be obligated to purchase and receive the undelivered quantity of Product
that normally would have been sold and delivered during the period of force
majeure.
ARTICLE XII
PRICE AND ALLOCATION CONTROLS
12.1 Regulatory Price Suspension. If SELLER is precluded by statute, or
by regulation, rule, interpretation or order implementing such statute from
obtaining any increase in Product Price, as determined pursuant to this
Contract, the increase shall be suspended until said law, regulation, rule,
interpretation or order permits the increase in whole or in part. In the event
the law, regulation, rule, interpretation or order is terminated or is later
modified to permit the increase, in whole or in part, the Product Price shall be
increased for deliveries of the Product made thereafter to the level permitted
under this Contract without further action by the parties.
12.2 Government Regulations. If the delivery or supply of Product
pursuant to this Contract conflicts with or is limited or prohibited by any
federal, state or local regulations, then to the extent of such conflict,
limitation or prohibition, SELLER shall have no obligation to deliver or supply
BUYER with the Product under this Contract and BUYER shall have no
20
obligation to purchase or receive the Product under this Contract. BUYER, in
BUYER's discretion, may elect to complete and file any and all required Federal
or state regulatory forms to permit, facilitate, or enable the supply of Product
to BUYER under this Contract. SELLER shall fully cooperate with BUYER in the
completion and filing of the foregoing forms.
ARTICLE XIII
ASSIGNMENT
This Contract shall not be assigned by either party without prior written
consent of the other party, and any assignment without such written consent,
shall be void; provided, however, BUYER may assign this Contract to the Trustee
under BUYER's First Mortgage Indenture dated December 1, 1938.
ARTICLE XIV
APPLICABLE LAW
This Contract shall be deemed to be a Contract made under and shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Hawaii.
The parties hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state
courts in the State of Hawaii.
21
ARTICLE XV
PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
This Contract is required to be filed with the Hawaii Public Utility
Commission (PUC) for approval. If in the proceedings initiated as a result of
the filing of this Contract, the PUC disapproves or fails to authorize the
recovery of the fuel cost incurred under this Contract through the BUYER's
Energy Cost Adjustment Clause, BUYER may terminate this Contract at any time
within 90 days of disapproval by giving 60 days written notice to the SELLER.
ARTICLE XVI
ENTIRE AGREEMENT, WAIVER AND ILLEGALITY
This Contract incorporates the entire agreement between the parties with
reference to the subject matter and cancels and supersedes as of the date of
execution hereof all prior oral or written understandings, or agreements,
between the parties with respect to the subject matter and may only be modified
by written instrument executed by duly authorized representatives of the
parties. There are no other agreements which constitute any part of the
consideration for, or any condition to, either party's compliance with its
obligations under this Contract. Failure to insist upon strict performance of
any provision shall not constitute a waiver of the right to require such
performance, nor shall a waiver in one case constitute a waiver with respect to
a later breach, whether of a similar nature or otherwise. If any term or
provision of this Contract is held by any Court to be illegal or unenforceable,
the remaining terms, provisions, rights and obligations shall
22
not be affected. The headings or captions are for convenience only and have
no force or effect on legal meaning in the construction or enforcement of the
Contract. Time shall be of the essence in this Contract.
