(e) The Parties acknowledge that the Company is solely responsible for providing the Monthly Crude Forecast and the Weekly Projection and for making any adjustments thereto, and the Company agrees that all such forecasts and projections shall be prepared in good faith, with due regard to all available and reliable historical information and the Company’s then-current business prospects, and in accordance with such standards of care as are generally applicable in the U.S. oil refining industry; provided, however, the Parties acknowledge and agree that such forecasts and projections are only estimates, and the Company shall have no liability to ▇▇▇▇ for any differences between such forecasts and projections provided by Producer in good faith and the actual crude requirements or runs. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) ▇▇▇▇ shall be entitled to rely and act, and shall be fully protected in relying and acting, upon all such forecasts and projections, and (ii) ▇▇▇▇ shall not have any responsibility to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in such forecasts or projections.

5.3 Procurement of Crude Oil.

(a) As of the Commencement Date, ▇▇▇▇ may have entered into or novated from the Existing Supplier/Offtaker one or more ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts for the purchase of Crude Oil to be processed at the Refinery.

(b) From time to time during the Term of this Agreement, the Company may propose that one or more additional ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts be entered into, including any such additional ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract as may be entered into in connection with the expiration of an outstanding ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract. If the Parties mutually agree to seek additional ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts, then the Company shall endeavor to identify quantities of Crude Oil that may be acquired from one or more Third Party Suppliers under contracts that provide for one or more shipment(s) of Crude Oil. The Company may negotiate with any such Third Party Supplier regarding the price and other terms of such potential additional ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract. The Company shall have no authority to bind ▇▇▇▇ to, or enter into on Aron’s behalf, any additional ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract or Procurement Contract Assignment, and the Company shall not represent to any third party that it has such authority. If the Company has negotiated an offer from a Third Party Supplier for an additional ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract (and if relevant, Procurement Contract Assignment) that the Company wishes to be executed, the Company shall apprise ▇▇▇▇ in writing, using the applicable trade sheet included in Schedule Q (the “Crude Procurement Request”), of the terms of such offer, and ▇▇▇▇

shall promptly, but no later than two (2) Business Days after the Company’s delivery of such applicable trade sheet (at which time the Crude Procurement Request shall terminate), determine and advise the Company as to whether ▇▇▇▇ desires to accept such offer; provided that the Company agrees that the delivery of a Crude Procurement Request shall also obligate the Company to enter into the related intermonth spread as contemplated by Section 5.3(h) below and the Company shall be obligated to enter into such intermonth spread concurrently with or promptly following Aron’s execution of an ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract. If ▇▇▇▇ indicates its desire to accept such offer, then ▇▇▇▇ shall promptly endeavor to formally communicate its acceptance of such offer to the Company and such Third Party Supplier so that the Third Party Supplier and ▇▇▇▇ may enter into a binding additional ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract (and if relevant, Procurement Contract Assignment) provided that any additional ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract (and, if relevant, related Procurement Contract Assignment) shall require Aron’s express agreement and ▇▇▇▇ shall not have any liability under or in connection with this Agreement if for any reason it, acting in good faith, does not agree to any proposed additional ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract or related Procurement Contract Assignment. If any ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract is a term contract pursuant to which ▇▇▇▇ may, from time to time, nominate a shipment by a Nomination Cutoff Date for expected delivery during a designated month, ▇▇▇▇ will apprise the Company of such timing requirements relating to such Nomination Cutoff Date.

(c) ▇▇▇▇ may, in its discretion, acting in good faith, elect to reject any such offer to enter into an ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract, provided that from time to time during the Term hereof ▇▇▇▇ shall, upon the reasonable request of the Company, consult with the Company regarding those counterparties that ▇▇▇▇ would be prepared to trade with as of the time of such consultation upon review of acceptable documentation as further contemplated herein. Aron’s decision to reject any such offer shall be based on such factors and considerations as ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ relevant, which may include (without limitation) the proposed commercial terms, credit considerations (including credit quality and credit limits), reputational considerations, prior or current interactions between ▇▇▇▇ and the proposed Third Party Supplier, the presence or absence of trading documentation between ▇▇▇▇ and the proposed Third Party Supplier, the presence or absence of a pre-existing trading relationship with the proposed Third Party Supplier or the suitability of the proposed Third Party Supplier for such transaction. Without limiting the foregoing, any proposed Third Party Supplier shall be required to satisfy Aron’s internal requirements and policies as they relate to any applicable “know-your-customer” rules, anti-money laundering policies and procedures, laws, rules and regulations (including without limitation, the Patriot Act, rules and regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control) and other similar client identification and business conduct standard and dealing policies and procedures (including reputational considerations), in each case, as consistently applied by ▇▇▇▇ and to have provided to ▇▇▇▇ all material documentation and other information required by such policies and procedure and applicable regulatory authorities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ▇▇▇▇ shall not reject any such offer to enter into an ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract with any counterparty based solely on the fact that such offer was presented to it by the Company hereunder where, at such time, ▇▇▇▇ would otherwise have transacted with such counterparty on such terms and under all other applicable policies and limitations.

(d) If the Company determines, in its reasonable judgment, that it is commercially beneficial for the Refinery to run a particular grade and/or volume of Crude Oil that is available from a Third Party Supplier that is not a counterparty with which ▇▇▇▇ is then prepared to enter into a contract, then the Company may execute a Refinery Procurement Contract to acquire such Crude Oil for the Company’s account, with such Crude Oil constituting Other Barrels pursuant to Section 5.3(g)(ii) below.

(e) With respect to each shipment of Crude Oil delivered under an ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract and/or a Procurement Contract Assignment that provides for delivery at the SPM Delivery Point, (i) the Company and ▇▇▇▇ shall automatically be deemed to have entered into a buy/sell transaction (each, an “SPM Buy/Sell Crude Transaction”) subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the SPM Master Buy/Sell Crude Confirmation, with the Company buying such shipment of Crude Oil from ▇▇▇▇ at the SPM Delivery Point (the “Crude Buy Leg”) and selling an equal quantity and quality of Crude Oil to ▇▇▇▇ at the Crude Intake Point (the “Crude Sell Leg”), (ii) under the Crude Buy Leg of each SPM Buy/Sell Crude Transaction, the Company shall purchase from ▇▇▇▇ the quantity of Crude Oil delivered under the relevant shipment with delivery and transfer of title and risk of loss all occurring at the SPM Delivery Point on the same basis as transfer of title and risk of loss are to occur under the ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract and/or a Procurement Contract Assignment so that, simultaneously with the transfer of title to such Crude Oil from the Third Party Supplier to ▇▇▇▇, title to such Crude Oil is transferred from ▇▇▇▇ to the Company and (iii) under the Crude Sell Leg of such SPM Buy/Sell Crude Transaction, the Company shall sell to ▇▇▇▇ Crude Oil in a quantity equal to, and of a grade and quality at least equivalent to, that of the Crude Oil purchased by the Company under the Crude Buy Leg of such SPM Buy/Sell Crude Transaction, with delivery and transfer of title and risk of loss occurring at and as such Crude Oil passes the Crude Intake Point. With respect to each SPM Buy/Sell Crude Transaction, the parties acknowledge and agree that (A) any quantity shortfall, or grade or quality deficiency, with respect to the Crude Oil delivered under the Crude Sell Leg shall be borne by and is solely for the account of the Company, (B) as a result of the foregoing arrangements, title to Crude Oil shall be held exclusively by the Company at all times as and after such Crude Oil passes the SPM Delivery Point, while such Crude Oil is being held in or transported by any subsea hoses, subsea pipelines or other infrastructure connecting the SPM Delivery Point to the Crude Intake Point and until such Crude Oil passes the Crude Intake Point, (C) all such Crude Oil in which the Company holds title shall be subject to the security interest and lien in favor of ▇▇▇▇ under the Lien Documents, (D) for purposes of calculating inventory measurements, determining cash settlements under Sections 10.1 and 10.2 and calculating any fees due hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, quantities of Crude Oil in which the Company has title as contemplated by clause (B) above shall not be counted as quantities of Crude Oil held in an Included Location and (E) for purposes hereof, neither an SPM Buy/Sell Crude Transaction nor the Crude Buy Leg or Crude Sell Leg thereunder shall constitute an ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract, a Procurement Contract Assignment, or a Refinery Procurement Contract.

(f) For deliveries of Crude Oil not made via the SPM Delivery Point, title for each quantity of Crude Oil shall pass to ▇▇▇▇ as the Crude Oil passes the Crude Intake Point. The Parties acknowledge that the consideration due from ▇▇▇▇ to the Company for any Crude Oil that is not delivered under a Procurement Contract will be reflected in the Monthly True-Up Amounts determined following delivery and in accordance with Schedule C.

(g) The following provisions shall be applicable to Refinery Procured Barrels:

(i) No later than the fifth (5^th) Business Day of the month preceding a Delivery Month, the Company shall inform ▇▇▇▇ whether the Company has purchased or intends to purchase any Crude Oil that is being procured under a Refinery Procurement Contract for delivery during such Delivery Month (“Refinery Procured Barrels”). In connection with each such quantity of Refinery Procured Barrels, the Company shall provide to ▇▇▇▇ a trade ticket stating the quantity, grade and delivery terms of such Refinery Procured Barrels expected to be delivered to the Crude Storage Tanks during such Delivery Month and, provided no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Company has occurred and is then continuing, the Company and ▇▇▇▇ shall enter into an ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract under which ▇▇▇▇ shall purchase such quantity from the Company as and when it passes the Crude Intake Point and ▇▇▇▇ shall promptly provide to the Company a written confirmation of such ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract. If any change occurs in the quantity, grade or delivery terms of the Refinery Procured Barrels that the Company expects to procure for delivery during such month, the Company shall promptly advise ▇▇▇▇ of such change and the related ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract shall be modified accordingly.

(ii) In the event that the Company enters into a Refinery Procurement Contract, but does not enter into a related ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract pursuant to a trade ticket as contemplated under Section 5.3(g)(i) above, and the Crude Oil procured under such Refinery Procurement Contract is delivered to the Crude Storage Tanks (“Other Barrels”), then such Other Barrels shall be deemed sold to ▇▇▇▇ as and when they pass the Crude Intake Point at the Current Month Pricing Benchmark, provided that prior to the delivery of any Other Barrels hereunder, the Parties shall establish procedures and mechanisms, reasonably satisfactory to ▇▇▇▇, for determining and reporting specific volumes of such Other Barrels. With respect to any Other Barrels that the Company expects to deliver to the Crude Storage Tanks, the Company shall give ▇▇▇▇ written notice of such expected delivery at least ten (10) Business Days preceding the expected delivery month for such Other Barrels and in such notice the Company shall provide to ▇▇▇▇ the quantity, grade and delivery terms of such Other Barrels expected to be delivered. If thereafter any change occurs in the quantity, grade or delivery terms of the Other Barrels that the Company expects to procure for delivery during such month, the Company shall promptly advise ▇▇▇▇ of such change.

(h) Concurrently with or promptly after entering into an ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract pursuant to Section 5.3(b), ▇▇▇▇ and the Company shall agree to the terms of the intermonth time spread transaction that the Parties have entered into in connection with such ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract, which (unless otherwise agreed by ▇▇▇▇) shall

consist of a time spread based on the period between cargo pricing and the expected delivery month, with pricing based on the first nearby ICE ▇▇▇▇▇ Futures for the Cargo Pricing Window (as defined in Schedule K) and the ICE ▇▇▇▇▇ calendar month swap for the relevant expected delivery month; provided that the Parties agree that each such time spread shall be a “Transaction” under and subject to the Master Agreement and ▇▇▇▇ shall issue a confirmation of each such time spread confirming it as a “Transaction” under and subject to the Master Agreement.

5.4 Nominations under ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts.

(a) Concurrently with its delivery of a Monthly Crude Forecast to ▇▇▇▇, the Company shall provide to ▇▇▇▇ the Company’s Target Month End Crude Volume and Target Month End Product Volumes for the related Delivery Month if different from the Target Month End Crude Volume and/or Target Month End Product Volumes for the related Delivery Month previously provided in Section 5.2(a). With respect to each Delivery Month, based on its Projected Monthly Run Volume, Crude Oil volumes then in Included Locations, shipments previously nominated under ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts, Other Barrels being delivered under Refinery Procurement Contracts and such other information as it deems relevant, the Company shall determine, in its commercially reasonable judgment, (i) the additional shipments of Crude Oil under ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts that the Company desires be delivered to the Included Locations during such Delivery Month and (ii) the aggregate number of shipments of Crude Oil under ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts that the Company desires be in transit but not delivered during such Delivery Month. With respect to each shipment under an ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract that the Company desires be delivered by a specified Delivery Month, the Company shall notify ▇▇▇▇ of such shipment at least 15 Business Days prior to the first applicable Nomination Cutoff Date for such month, if any (each, a “Shipment Notification”). As part of such Projected Monthly Run Volume, the Company may specify the grade of such Projected Monthly Run Volume, provided that such grades and their respective quantities specified by the Company shall fall within the grades and quantities then available to be nominated by ▇▇▇▇ under the outstanding ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts.

(b) Provided that the Company provides ▇▇▇▇ with the Projected Monthly Run Volume and the Shipment Notifications as required under Section 5.4(a), ▇▇▇▇ and the Company shall consult regarding scheduling and other selections and nominations (collectively, “Contract Nominations”) to be made by ▇▇▇▇ under then outstanding ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts on or before any applicable Nomination Cutoff Dates taking into account the quantities of Other Barrel being acquired pursuant to Refinery Procurement Contracts. To the extent reasonably practicable and in accordance with its consultation with the Company, ▇▇▇▇ shall endeavor to make Contract Nominations that reflect the quantity of each grade specified by the Company in such Projected Monthly Run Volume. Should any Contract Nomination not be accepted by any Third Party Supplier under an ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract, ▇▇▇▇ shall promptly advise the Company and use commercially reasonable efforts with the Company and such Third Party Supplier to revise the Contract Nomination subject to the terms of any such ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract. ▇▇▇▇ shall provide the Company with confirmation of each such Contract Nomination that is made.

(c) The Parties agree that the Company may, from time to time, request that ▇▇▇▇ make adjustments or modifications to Contract Nominations it has previously made under the ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts. Promptly following receipt of any such request, ▇▇▇▇ will use its commercially reasonable efforts to make such adjustment or modification, subject to any limitations or restrictions under the relevant ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts. Any additional cost or expenses incurred as a result of such an adjustment or modification shall constitute an Ancillary Cost hereunder.

(d) ▇▇▇▇ shall not nominate or to its knowledge otherwise acquire any Crude Oil with characteristics that are not previously approved by the Company for use at the Refinery, such approval to be in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion.

(e) In addition to the nomination process, ▇▇▇▇ and the Company shall follow the mutually agreed communications protocol as set forth on Schedule J hereto, with respect to ongoing daily coordination with feedstock suppliers, including purchases or sales of Crude Oil or other feedstocks outside of the normal nomination procedures.

(f) Each of the Company and ▇▇▇▇ agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts in preparing the forecasts, projections and nominations required by this Agreement in a manner intended to maintain Crude Oil and Product operational volumes within the Operational Volume Range.

(g) Prior to entering into any Ancillary Contract that is intended for the exclusive benefit of the Company in connection with this Agreement and does not by its terms expire or terminate on or before the Expiration Date, ▇▇▇▇ will endeavor, in good faith and subject to any confidentiality restrictions, to afford the Company an opportunity to review and comment on such Ancillary Contract or the terms thereof and to confer with the Company regarding such Ancillary Contract and terms, and if ▇▇▇▇ enters into any such Ancillary Contract without the Company’s consent, the Company shall not be obligated to assume such Ancillary Contract pursuant to Section 20.1(c) below.

5.5 Transportation, Storage and Delivery of Crude Oil.

(a) ▇▇▇▇ shall have the exclusive right to inject (except for such injections by the Company otherwise contemplated hereby, which result in title to any injected Crude Oil being transferred to ▇▇▇▇), store and withdraw Crude Oil in and from the Crude Storage Tanks as provided in the Storage Facilities Agreement. ▇▇▇▇ shall have exclusive right to store Crude Oil in the Crude Storage Tanks as provided in the Storage Facilities Agreement.

(b) Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall be permitted to withdraw from the Crude Storage Tanks and take delivery of Crude Oil on any day and at any time. The withdrawal and receipt of any Crude Oil by the Company at the Crude Delivery Point shall be on an “ex works” basis (EXW Incoterms 2010). ▇▇▇▇ shall be responsible only for arranging transportation and

delivery of Crude Oil into the Crude Storage Tanks and the Company shall bear sole responsibility for arranging the withdrawal of Crude Oil from the Crude Storage Tanks. The Company shall take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to maintain a connection with the Crude Storage Tanks to enable withdrawal and delivery of Crude Oil to be made as contemplated hereby.

5.6 Title, Risk of Loss and Custody.

(a) Title to and risk of loss of the Crude Oil shall pass from the Company to ▇▇▇▇ at the Crude Intake Point. ▇▇▇▇ shall retain title to and risk of loss of such Crude Oil during the time such Crude Oil is held in any Storage Facilities. Title to and risk of loss of the Crude Oil shall pass from ▇▇▇▇ to the Company at the Crude Delivery Point. The Company shall assume custody of the Crude Oil as it passes the Crude Delivery Point.

(b) During the time any Crude Oil or Products are held in any Storage Facilities, the Company, in its capacity as operator of the Storage Facilities and pursuant to the Storage Facilities Agreement, shall be solely responsible for compliance with all Applicable Laws, including all Environmental Laws, pertaining to the possession, handling, use and processing of such Crude Oil or Products and shall indemnify and hold harmless ▇▇▇▇, its Affiliates and their agents, representatives, contractors, employees, directors and officers, for all Liabilities directly or indirectly arising therefrom except to the extent such Liabilities are caused by or attributable to any of the matters for which ▇▇▇▇ is indemnifying the Company pursuant to Article 21.

(c) At and after transfer of any Crude Oil at the Crude Delivery Point, the Company and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for compliance with all Applicable Laws, including all Environmental Laws pertaining to the possession, handling, use and processing of such Crude Oil and shall indemnify and hold harmless ▇▇▇▇, its Affiliates and their agents, representatives, contractors, employees, directors and officers, for all Liabilities directly or indirectly arising therefrom.

(d) To the extent the Company wishes to sell any Crude Oil to any third party, the Company acknowledges that it shall not have the authority to agree to such sale without Aron’s prior written consent.

5.7 Contract Documentation, Confirmations and Conditions.

(a) Aron’s obligations to deliver Crude Oil under this Agreement shall be subject to (i) the Company identifying and negotiating potential ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts, in accordance with Section 5.3, that are acceptable to both the Company and ▇▇▇▇ relating to a sufficient quantity of Crude Oil to meet the Refinery’s requirements, (ii) the Company performing its obligations hereunder with respect to providing ▇▇▇▇ with timely nominations, forecasts and projections (including Projected Monthly Run Volumes, as contemplated in Section 5.4(a)) so that ▇▇▇▇ may make timely nominations under the ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts, (iii) all of the terms and conditions of the ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts, (iv) any other condition set forth in Section 5.1 above and (v) no Event of Default having occurred and continuing with respect to the Company.

In addition, to the extent it is permitted to do so, ▇▇▇▇ will endeavor to keep the Company apprised of, and consult with the Company regarding, the terms and conditions being incorporated into any ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract under negotiation with a Third Party Supplier.

(c) The Company acknowledges and agrees that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, it is obligated to purchase and take delivery of all Crude Oil acquired by ▇▇▇▇ under ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts executed in connection herewith and subject to the terms and conditions specified in Section 5.4 above. In the event of a dispute, ▇▇▇▇ will provide, to the extent legally and contractually permissible, to the Company, a copy of the ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract in question.

5.8 DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTY OF TITLE WITH RESPECT TO CRUDE OIL OR PRODUCTS DELIVERED HEREUNDER, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTY, CONDITION OR OTHER REPRESENTATION, WRITTEN OR ORAL, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS OR SUITABILITY OF SUCH CRUDE OIL OR PRODUCTS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE. FURTHER, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION THAT SUCH CRUDE OIL OR PRODUCTS CONFORMS TO THE SPECIFICATIONS IDENTIFIED IN ANY CONTRACT WITH ANY THIRD PARTY SUPPLIER.

5.9 Quality Claims and Claims Handling.

(a) The failure of any Crude Oil or Product that ▇▇▇▇ hereunder sells to the Company to meet the specifications or other quality requirements applicable thereto as stated in an ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract for that Crude Oil or Product shall be for the sole account of the Company and shall not entitle the Company to any reduction in the amounts due by it to ▇▇▇▇ hereunder; provided, however, that any claims made by ▇▇▇▇ with respect to such non-conforming Crude Oil or Product shall be for the Company’s account and resolved in accordance with this Section 5.9.

(b) The Parties shall consult with each other and coordinate how to handle and resolve any claims arising in the ordinary course of business (including claims related to Crude Oil, Products, pipeline, tank transfers, or ocean transportation, and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising hereunder between ▇▇▇▇ and any of its vendors who supply goods or services in conjunction with Aron’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement) made by or against ▇▇▇▇. In all instances wherein claims are made by a third party against ▇▇▇▇ which will be for the account of the Company, the Company shall

have the right, subject to Section 5.9(d), to either direct ▇▇▇▇ to take commercially reasonable actions in the handling of such claims or assume the handling of such claims in the name of ▇▇▇▇, all at the Company’s cost and expense; provided that ▇▇▇▇ may require that the Company assume the handling of any such claim. To the extent that the Company believes that any claim should be made by ▇▇▇▇ for the account of the Company against any third party (whether a Third Party Supplier, terminal facility, pipeline, storage facility or otherwise), and subject to Section 5.9(d) and the terms and conditions of the Agency Agreement, ▇▇▇▇ will take any commercially reasonable actions as requested by the Company either directly, or by allowing the Company to do so, to prosecute such claim all at the Company’s cost and expense and all recoveries resulting from the prosecution of such claim shall be for the account of the Company.

(c) ▇▇▇▇ shall, in a commercially reasonable manner, cooperate with the Company in prosecuting any such claim and shall be entitled to assist in the prosecution of such claim at the Company’s expense, if the Company so requests. In the event that ▇▇▇▇ assists in the prosecution of such claim not at the request of Company, such prosecution shall be at Aron’s sole cost and expense.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.9(b) or Section 5.9(c) to the contrary, ▇▇▇▇ may notify the Company that ▇▇▇▇ is retaining control over or limiting its participation in the resolution of any claim referred to in Section 5.9(b) or Section 5.9(c) if ▇▇▇▇, in its reasonable judgment, has determined that it has commercially reasonable business considerations for doing so based on any relationships that ▇▇▇▇ or any of its Affiliates had, has or may have with the third party involved in such claim; provided that, subject to such considerations, ▇▇▇▇ shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such claim, at the Company’s expense and for the Company’s account. In addition, any claim that is or becomes subject to Article 21 shall be handled and resolved in accordance with the provisions of Article 21.

ARTICLE 6

PURCHASE PRICE FOR CRUDE OIL

6.1 Daily Volumes. Each Business Day the Company shall provide to ▇▇▇▇, by no later than 7:00 pm HST meter tickets and/or meter readings, and tank gauge readings confirming the Measured Crude Quantity for each Crude Storage Tank for all Delivery Dates since the prior Business Day.

6.2 Purchase Price for Crude Oil. The per Barrel purchase price for the Monthly Net Crude Sales shall equal the Current Month Pricing Benchmark specified for Crude Oil, subject to the calculation of the Total Monthly Crude Oil True-Up Amount as provided for on Schedule C.

6.3 Refinery Crude Purchase Fee. As used herein:

(a) For any month, the Company shall owe to ▇▇▇▇ when due the Refinery Crude Purchase Fee.

(b) “Monthly Net Crude Run” means, for any month, (i) the Ending In-Tank Crude Inventory for the prior month, plus (ii) the ▇▇▇▇ Crude Purchases for such month, plus (iii) the aggregate quantity of Other Barrels that are actually delivered and received at the Crude Storage Tanks during such month, minus (iv) the Ending In-Tank Crude Inventory for such month.

(c) The Refinery Crude Purchase Fee calculated under this Section 6.3 shall be incorporated under Schedule C as an amount due to ▇▇▇▇.

6.4 Material Crude Grade Changes. If either the Company or ▇▇▇▇ concludes in its reasonable judgment that the specifications (including specific gravity and sulfur content of the Crude Oil) of the Crude Oil procured, or projected to be procured, differ materially from the grades that have generally been run by the Refinery or such grades that the Company may run from time to time acting as a prudent refinery operator, then the Company and ▇▇▇▇ will endeavor in good faith to mutually agree on (i) acceptable price indices for such Crude Oil, and (ii) a settlement payment from one Party to the other that is sufficient to compensate the relevant Party for the relative costs and benefits to each of the price differences between the prior price indices and the amended price indices.

6.5 Counterparty Crude Sales. At the request of the Company and subject to the applicable provisions of Article 5 above, ▇▇▇▇ may from time to time enter into one or more Counterparty Crude Sales. In such cases, the Counterparty Crude Sales Fee shall be applicable to such Counterparty Crude Sales, and shall be payable by the Company to ▇▇▇▇ hereunder; provided, however, such Counterparty Crude Sales Fee shall not be applicable to any other disposition of Crude Oil made by ▇▇▇▇ hereunder or under the Transaction Documents.

6.6 Upon Aron’s request, the Company will provide documentation evidencing all Barrels of Crude Oil purchased for any month under Refinery Procurement Contracts.

ARTICLE 7

TARGET INVENTORY LEVELS AND DIFFERENTIAL ADJUSTMENT

7.1 Target Inventory Levels. Monthly inventory targets for Crude Oil and Products shall be set pursuant to this Article 7. Such monthly inventory targets for Crude Oil and Products shall be subject to the minimum and maximum inventory levels in Schedule D for each Pricing Group. The Company represents and warrants that the respective Target Month End Crude Volumes and Target Month End Product Volumes that the Company sets for each month during the Term hereof shall be the Company’s good faith estimate, at the time it sets such targets, of the Ending In-Tank Crude Inventory and the Ending In-Tank Product Inventories at the end of such month.

7.2 Target Month End Crude Volume.

(a) By no later than the fifth (5^th) Business Day of the month preceding each Delivery Month, the Company shall notify ▇▇▇▇ of the aggregate quantity of Crude Oil that the Company expects to run at the Refinery during such Delivery Month (the “Projected Monthly Run Volume”).

(b) For each month of the Term, the Company shall from time to time (but subject to any applicable notification deadlines specified on Schedule D hereto) specify the “Target Month End Crude Volume” which shall equal (i) the Target Month End Crude Volume for the immediately preceding month, plus (ii) the aggregate volume of Crude Oil that ▇▇▇▇ has nominated under the ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts for delivery during that month pursuant to Section 5.4(b), plus (iii) the aggregate volume of the Other Barrels expected to be delivered during such month, minus (iv) the Projected Monthly Run Volume for that month (except that the Target Month End Crude Volume as of the Commencement Date and as of the end of the first month of the Term shall be the respective volumes specified as such on Schedule I hereto).

(c) In establishing a Target Month End Crude Volume, the Parties acknowledge that any increase in a Target Month End Crude Volume is constrained to the extent that the Crude Oil available for delivery under the ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts with Third Party Suppliers plus Other Barrels available for delivery during such month are not greater than the Company’s Crude Oil requirements for the Refinery for the month related to such Target Month End Crude Volume.

(d) The Parties may, by mutual agreement, adjust the Target Month End Crude Volume for any month. Any change to a Target Month End Crude Volume shall affect only the subject month and does not impact the calculation of the Target Month End Crude Volume in subsequent months pursuant to Section 7.2(b).

7.3 Target Month End Product Volume.

(a) By no later than the fifth (5^th) Business Day of the month preceding each Delivery Month, the Company shall provide to ▇▇▇▇ its standard run-out report substantially in the form of Schedule O (the “Run-out Report”) showing the estimated quantities of each Product that it expects to produce and deliver to ▇▇▇▇ during the following month and the quantities of each Product it expects to sell under the Marketing and Sales Agreement during such following month (for each Product, the “Projected Monthly Production Volume”), which may, from time to time, be adjusted by the Company.

(b) For each month and each type of Product, the Company shall from time to time (but subject to any applicable notification deadlines specified on Schedule D hereto) specify an aggregate quantity and grade that shall be the “Target Month End Product Volume” for that month, which shall represent a volume which may be zero or a positive number (except that the Target Month End Product Volume for each type of Product as of the Commencement Date and as of the end of the first month of the Term shall be the respective volumes specified as such on Schedule I hereto).

(c) Subject to events of Force Majeure, facility turnarounds, the performance of any third parties (including purchasers of Products under the Marketing and Sales Agreement), the Company will, in establishing each Target Month End Product Volume, cause such Target Month End Product Volume to be within the applicable range specified for such Product on Schedule D hereto.

(d) At any time prior to the beginning of the month to which a Target Month End Product Volume relates (but subject to any applicable notification deadlines specified on Schedule D hereto), the Parties may, by mutual agreement, change such Target Month End Product Volume.

(e) In addition, ▇▇▇▇ may adjust the Target Month End Product Volume with the consent of the Company.

(f) For any calendar month in which quantities of Products are delivered by ▇▇▇▇ under one or more Additional Product Transactions entered into during such month pursuant to the Marketing and Sales Agreement, the Target Month End Product Volume of any such Product for the end of such month shall be reduced by the aggregate net quantity of such Product so delivered to the extent such Additional Product Transactions are entered into after such Target Month End Product Volume is established.

7.4 Differential Adjustments.

(a) Pursuant to the procedures set forth in Schedule K hereto, ▇▇▇▇ shall determine for each month during the term hereof whether any adjustment to the Crude Differential is required. Promptly after ▇▇▇▇ has completed such calculation, it shall advise the Company in writing as to whether any Crude Differential adjustment is appropriate and if so the amount of such Crude Differential adjustments. Any such adjusted Crude Differential shall become applicable commencing with the month immediately following the month with respect to which such determination was made.

(b) Promptly following each Differential Adjustment Month, ▇▇▇▇ shall review the realized sales data for such Differential Adjustment Month and calculate whether, based on such data, an adjustment to any of the Product Differentials is appropriate (or, in the case of an Interim Differential Adjustment Month, the Product Differentials identified by whichever Party provides notification thereof); provided that, if ▇▇▇▇ determines in its reasonable judgment that the data for such Differential Adjustment Month do not provide a representative basis for such determination (due to anomalies, distortions or other factors identified by ▇▇▇▇), then ▇▇▇▇ may, at its election, make such calculation based on data for the three calendar month period preceding the Differential Adjustment Month. Promptly after ▇▇▇▇ has completed such calculation, it shall advise the Company in writing as to whether any Product Differential adjustments are appropriate and if so the amounts of such Product Differential adjustments. Any such adjusted Product Differentials shall become applicable commencing with the month immediately following such Differential Adjustment Month.

(c) For any month for which a Crude Differential adjustment is to be made pursuant to Section 7.4(a) or for any Differential Adjustment Month for which any Product Differential adjustments are to be made pursuant to Section 7.4(b), ▇▇▇▇ shall determine either the Product Differential Adjustment Settlement Amount or the Crude Differential Adjustment Settlement Amount and such amount shall be included in the Total Monthly Crude True-Up Amount (in the case of a Crude Differential Adjustment) or Aggregate Monthly Product True-Up Amount (in the case of a Product Differential Adjustment) that is incorporated into the Monthly True-Up Payment for such month or Differential Adjustment Month; provided that, in the case of an Interim Differential Adjustment Month, such determination shall be made only with respect to those Product Differentials identified in Aron’s notification to the Company relating to such Interim Differential Adjustment Month.

(d) As used herein,

(i) “Differential Adjustment Month” means either a Scheduled Differential Adjustment Month or an Interim Differential Adjustment Month;

(ii) “Interim Differential Adjustment Month” means any month (other than a Scheduled Differential Adjustment Month) during which either Party notifies the other Party in writing (including via email) on or prior to the last Business Day of such month that, in such notifying Party’s commercially reasonable judgment, a material change has occurred in one or more of the market differentials used to establish any of the Product Differentials hereunder; provided that for each such Product Differential no more than one Interim Differential Adjustment Month shall occur between any two consecutive Scheduled Differential Adjustment Months; and

(iii) “Scheduled Differential Adjustment Month” means each January, April, July and October during the term hereof (except for the final month of the Term).

7.5 Monthly Product Adjustments.

(a) Monthly Product Sale Adjustment. For each month (or portion thereof) during the term of the Marketing and Sales Agreement and for each Product Group, ▇▇▇▇ shall determine whether an amount is due by one Party to the other (for each Product Group, a “Monthly Product Sale Adjustment”) in accordance with the following terms and conditions:

(i) For each Product Group and relevant period, ▇▇▇▇ shall determine the aggregate quantity of Barrels of such Product Group sold during such period under Included Sales Transactions;

(ii) If, for any Product Group and relevant period, (i) the Aggregate Sale Receipts exceeds the Index Sale Value (as defined below), then the Monthly Product Sale Adjustment for that Product Group shall equal such excess and shall be due to the Company and (ii) the Index Sale Value exceeds the Aggregate Sale Receipts, then the Monthly Product Sale Adjustment for that Product Group shall equal such excess and shall be due to ▇▇▇▇;

(iii) If ▇▇▇▇ determines that any Monthly Product Sale Adjustment is due, it will include its calculation of such amount in the documentation provided to the Company for the relevant period pursuant to Section 10.2 and such Monthly Product Sale Adjustment shall be incorporated as a component of the Monthly True-Up Amount due for such period which, if due to the Company, shall be expressed as a negative number and, if due to ▇▇▇▇, shall be expressed as a positive number;

(iv) As used herein:

(A) “Aggregate Sale Receipts” shall mean, for any Product Group and relevant period, the sum of the actual aggregate purchase value invoiced by ▇▇▇▇ for all quantities of such Product Group that ▇▇▇▇ delivered during such period under Included Sales Transactions with Customers (as defined in the Marketing and Sales Agreement); and

(B) “Index Sale Value” shall mean, for any Product Group and relevant period, the product of (i) the sum of the aggregate quantity of Barrels of such Product Group sold during such period under Included Sales Transactions, multiplied by (ii) the Current Month Pricing Benchmark for that Product Group and period.

(b) Monthly Product Purchase Adjustment. For each month (or portion thereof) during the term of the Marketing and Sales Agreement and for each Product Group, ▇▇▇▇ shall determine whether an amount is due by one Party to the other (for each Product Group, a “Monthly Product Purchase Adjustment”) in accordance with the following terms and conditions:

(iii) If ▇▇▇▇ determines that any Monthly Product Purchase Adjustment is due, it will include its calculation of such amount in the documentation provided to the Company for the relevant period pursuant to Section 10.2 and such Monthly Product Purchase Adjustment shall be incorporated as a component of the Monthly True-Up Amount due for such period which, if due to the Company, shall be expressed as a negative number and, if due to ▇▇▇▇, shall be expressed as a positive number;

(iv) As used herein:

(A) “Aggregate Purchase Proceeds” shall mean, for any Product Group and relevant period, the sum of the actual aggregate purchase value invoiced to ▇▇▇▇ for all quantities of such Product Group that ▇▇▇▇ purchased during such period under Included Purchase Transactions with Product Supplier (as defined in the Marketing and Sales Agreement); and

(B) “Index Purchase Value” shall mean, for any Product Group and relevant period, the product of (i) the sum of the aggregate quantity of Barrels of such Product Group purchased during such period under Included Purchase Transactions, multiplied by (ii) the Current Month Pricing Benchmark for that Product Group and period.

7.6 Monthly Product Sales Fees. For each month, the applicable Product Sales Fee shall be applied to each Barrel of Product, if any, sold by ▇▇▇▇ under any Included Sales Transaction during such month. With respect to each month, the aggregate monthly value of the Product Sale Fees (the “Aggregate Monthly Product Sales Fee”) shall be calculated pursuant to Schedule C and shall be due and payable from the Company to ▇▇▇▇ as specified in Schedule C.

7.7 Monthly Cover Costs. If, for any month (or portion thereof), ▇▇▇▇ reasonably determines that, as a result of the Company’s failure to produce the quantities of Product projected under this Agreement or the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations under the Marketing and Sales Agreement, ▇▇▇▇ retains insufficient quantities of Product to comply with its obligations to any third parties, under Included Sales Transactions, and ▇▇▇▇ incurs any additional costs and expenses or related damages in procuring and transporting Product from other sources for purposes of covering such delivery obligations or the shortfall in the quantity

held for its account (collectively, “Monthly Cover Costs”), then the Company shall be obliged to reimburse ▇▇▇▇ for such Monthly Cover Costs, subject to the limitations set forth in Article 22. If ▇▇▇▇ determines that any Monthly Cover Costs are due to it, ▇▇▇▇ shall promptly communicate such determination to the Company and, subject to any mitigation of such costs actually achieved by the Company, include the calculation of such amount in the documentation provided to the Company for the relevant period pursuant to Section 10.2 and such Monthly Cover Costs shall be incorporated as a component of the Monthly True-Up Amount due for such period hereunder. If, for any month (or portion thereof), ▇▇▇▇ reasonably determines that, as a result of the Company’s failure to produce the quantities of Product projected under this Agreement or the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations under the Marketing and Sales Agreement, ▇▇▇▇ retains insufficient quantities of Product to comply with its obligations to Company, under any Company Agreements or otherwise pursuant to Section 2.6 of the Marketing and Sales Agreement, the Company shall be solely responsible for covering any delivery obligations to third parties or the shortfall in the quantity held for such third parties in connection with the Company’s Product Marketing Operations (as defined in the Marketing and Sales Agreement).

7.8 Costs Related to Shortfall. To the extent that ▇▇▇▇ is required to cover any shortfall in any Product delivery, under an Included Sales Transaction, by any inventory it owns and acquires separately from the inventory owned and maintained in connection with this Agreement, any cost or loss incurred by ▇▇▇▇ in connection therewith that is not otherwise included as a Monthly Cover Cost shall constitute an Ancillary Cost that is to be reimbursed to ▇▇▇▇.

7.9 Excess Target Levels. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the Company is obligated to establish the Target Month End Crude Volume or the Target Month End Product Volumes for any month, the Company may request that ▇▇▇▇ agree to a level for any of the foregoing that exceeds that applicable maximum level set forth on Schedule D hereto (an “Excess Inventory Level”); provided that such request may be for only such month or for a period of two or more consecutive months starting with such month, as the Company shall specify in its request. If such request is made in a timely manner, ▇▇▇▇ shall promptly review such request and advise the Company as to whether ▇▇▇▇ accepts or rejects such Excess Inventory Level; provided that, ▇▇▇▇ is under no obligation to accept any such request. If ▇▇▇▇ accepts any request for an Excess Inventory Level, then for all purposes of this Agreement and in lieu of the relevant level set forth on Schedule D, such Excess Inventory Level shall constitute the maximum level the relevant Product Group for the period specified in such request; provided that, after such period, the applicable level set forth on Schedule D shall be in effect for purposes of this Agreement. If ▇▇▇▇ rejects any such request, then the applicable level set forth on Schedule D shall continue in effect, unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Parties in writing.

7.10 Excess Inventory Levels.

(a) If, at any time, either Party determines, with respect to any Product Group, that the aggregate quantity of such Product Group being held in the Included Locations exceeds the Maximum Inventory Level for such Product Group (such excess, an “Excess Quantity”), such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence and volume of such Excess Quantity. Within three (3) Business Days after such notice is given, ▇▇▇▇ shall advise the Company as to whether ▇▇▇▇ accepts such Excess Quantity (in which case Section 7.10(b) shall apply) or rejects such Excess Quantity (in which case Section 7.10(c) shall apply).

(b) If ▇▇▇▇ accepts an Excess Quantity then, for all purposes of this Agreement, such Excess Quantity shall constitute the Maximum Inventory Level for the relevant Product Group for the balance of the month in which such Excess Quantity was first identified and, at Aron’s option, for such additional month or months as ▇▇▇▇ may specify; provided that if ▇▇▇▇ does not accept such Excess Quantity for any additional month or months, such Excess Quantity shall only be in effect for the then current month and if such Excess Quantity remains after the end of such current month, the provisions of this Section 7.10 shall apply anew as of the beginning the following month.

(c) If ▇▇▇▇ rejects an Excess Quantity then, for purposes of determining amounts due under Sections 10.1 and 10.2 of this Agreement, such Excess Quantity shall not be counted as Crude Oil or Products being held at an Included Location. In such case, if the Company is able to segregate in one or more Included Tanks a quantity of the relevant Product Group at least equal to such Excess Quantity, the Company may, at its option, elect to designate such Included Tanks and purchase from ▇▇▇▇ the segregated quantity of such Product Group held in such designated Included Tanks so that the quantity of such Product Group owned by ▇▇▇▇ would not exceed the Maximum Inventory Level for the relevant Product Group after giving effect to such purchase, at a price equal to the product of (a) the volume of such Product Group held in such Included Tanks and (b) the Current Month Pricing Benchmark for the applicable Product Group. After settlement of such purchase, such Included Tanks shall no longer constitute Included Locations for purposes hereof unless and until ▇▇▇▇ determines, in its reasonable discretion, that Aron’s ownership of the quantities held in such tanks would not result, as of the time of such determination, in the aggregate quantity of the relevant Product Group owned by ▇▇▇▇ exceeding the applicable Maximum Inventory Level. If and when such determination is made, the Parties shall confirm the sale by the Company to ▇▇▇▇ of the quantities held in such Included Tanks at a price equal to the product of (a) such quantity and (b) the Current Month Pricing Benchmark for the applicable Product Group and upon the settlement of such purchase, such Included Tanks shall thereafter again constitute Included Locations for all purposes hereof.

(i) No later than the fifth (5^th) Business Day of the month preceding a Delivery Month, the Company shall inform ▇▇▇▇ whether the Company has purchased or intends to purchase any Product that is being procured under a Refinery Product Contract for delivery during such Delivery Month (“Refinery Procured Product Barrels”). In connection with each such quantity of Refinery Procured Product Barrels, the Company shall provide to ▇▇▇▇ a trade ticket stating the quantity, grade and delivery terms of such Refinery Procured Product Barrels expected to be delivered to the Refinery Product Storage Tanks or such other location designated by the Company during such Delivery Month and, provided no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Company has occurred and is then continuing, the Company and ▇▇▇▇ shall enter into a Included Purchase Transaction under which ▇▇▇▇ shall purchase such quantity from the Company as and when it passes the Products Intake Point and ▇▇▇▇ shall promptly provide to the Company a written confirmation of such Included Purchase Transaction. If any change occurs in the quantity, grade or delivery terms of the Refinery Procured Product Barrels that the Company expects to procure for delivery during such month, the Company shall promptly advise ▇▇▇▇ of such change and the related Included Purchase Transaction shall be modified accordingly.

(ii) In the event that the Company enters into a Refinery Product Contract, but does not enter into a related Included Purchase Transaction pursuant to a trade ticket as contemplated under Section 8.1(c) above, and the Products procured under such Refinery Purchase Contract is delivered to the Refinery Product Storage Tanks or such other location designated by the Company (“Other Product Barrels”), then such Other Product Barrels shall be deemed sold to ▇▇▇▇ as and when they pass the Products Intake Point at the Current Month Pricing Benchmarks, provided that prior to the delivery of any Other Product Barrels hereunder, the Parties shall establish reasonable procedures and mechanisms for determining and reporting specific volumes of such Other Product Barrels. With respect to any Other Product Barrels that the Company expects to deliver to the Refinery Product Storage Tanks or such other designated Included Product Tanks, the Company shall give ▇▇▇▇ written notice of such expected delivery at least ten (10) Business Days preceding the expected delivery month for such Other Product Barrels and in such notice the Company shall provide to ▇▇▇▇ the quantity, grade and delivery terms of such Other Product Barrels expected to be delivered. If thereafter any change occurs in the quantity, grade or delivery terms of the Other Product Barrels that the Company expects to procure for delivery during such month, the Company shall promptly advise ▇▇▇▇ of such change.

(d) With respect to each shipment of Products delivered under an Included Purchase Transaction that provides for delivery at the SPM Delivery Point, (i) the Company and ▇▇▇▇ shall automatically be deemed to have entered into a buy/sell transaction (each, an “SPM Buy/Sell Product Transaction”) subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the SPM Master Buy/Sell Product Confirmation, with the Company buying such shipment of Products from ▇▇▇▇ at the SPM Delivery Point (the “Product Buy Leg”) and selling an equal quantity and quality of Crude Oil to ▇▇▇▇ at the Products Intake Point (the “Product Sell Leg”), (ii) under the Product Buy Leg of each SPM Buy/Sell Product Transaction, the Company shall purchase from ▇▇▇▇ the quantity of Crude Oil delivered under the relevant shipment with delivery and transfer of title and risk of loss all occurring at the SPM Delivery Point on the same basis as transfer of title and risk of loss are to occur under the Included Purchase Transaction so that, simultaneously with the transfer of title to such Products from the Third Party Supplier to ▇▇▇▇, title to such Products is transferred from ▇▇▇▇ to the Company and (iii) under the Product Sell Leg of such SPM Buy/Sell Products Transaction, the Company shall sell to ▇▇▇▇ Products in a quantity equal to, and of a grade and quality at least equivalent to, that of the Products purchased by the Company under the Product Buy Leg of such SPM Buy/Sell Product Transaction, with delivery and transfer of title and risk of loss occurring at and as such Product passes the Products Intake Point. With respect to each SPM Buy/Sell Product Transaction, the parties acknowledge and agree that (A) any quantity shortfall, or grade or quality deficiency, with respect to the Products delivered under the Product Sell Leg shall be borne by and is solely for the account of the Company, (B) as a result of the foregoing arrangements, title to Product shall be held exclusively by the Company at all times as and after such Product passes the SPM Delivery Point, while such Product is being held in or transported by any subsea hoses, subsea pipelines or other infrastructure connecting the SPM Delivery Point to the Products Intake Point and until such Product passes the Products Intake Point, (C) all such Products in which the Company holds title shall be subject to the security interest and lien in favor of ▇▇▇▇ under the Lien Documents, (D) for purposes of calculating inventory measurements, determining cash settlements under Sections 10.1 and 10.2 and calculating any fees due hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, quantities of Products in which the Company has title as contemplated by clause (B) above shall not be counted as quantities of Products held in an Included Location and (E) for purposes hereof, neither an SPM Buy/Sell Product Transaction nor the Product Buy Leg or Product Sell Leg thereunder shall constitute a Included Purchase Transaction.

(e) For purposes of all computations hereunder relating to the value of any materials held in the Honolulu 10” Pipeline, including without limitation, for the purposes of Sections 10.1 and 10.2 hereof, the per-barrel price of any such materials shall equal the applicable price benchmark for the Slop Product Group.

8.2 Delivery and Storage of Products.

(a) Unless otherwise agreed by ▇▇▇▇, all Products shall be delivered by the Company to ▇▇▇▇ at the Products Intake Point of the Refinery Product Storage Tanks or any other Included Product Tanks (as the case may be) on a DDP (Incoterms 2010) basis, with the Company being responsible for ensuring delivery of such Product into the Refinery Product Storage Tanks.

(b) ▇▇▇▇ shall have exclusive right (to the extent that such exclusive right can be granted) to store Products in the Refinery Product Storage Tanks and all other Included Product Tanks as provided under the Storage Facilities Agreement and, if hereafter entered into, any Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements.

(a) From time to time, based on its then current operating forecast for the Refinery, the Company may provide to ▇▇▇▇ a revised expected Product yield for the Refinery (each, a “Revised Estimated Yield” and, together with the Initial Estimated Yield, an “Estimated Yield”).

(b) On the Commencement Date and thereafter as set forth on Schedule J, the Company shall, based on the then current Estimated Yield and such other operating factors as it deems relevant, prepare and provide to ▇▇▇▇ an estimate of the Product quantities it expects to deliver to ▇▇▇▇ during such month (each, a “Monthly Product Estimate”).

8.4 Delivered Quantities.

(a) For each Delivery Date, the Company shall provide to ▇▇▇▇, by no later than 7:00 p.m., HST on the second (2^nd) Business Day following such Delivery Date, meter tickets and/or meter readings and tank gauge readings confirming the Measured Product Quantity in each Included Product Tank for each Product delivered during that Delivery Date and other such relevant information including but not limited to Product identifiers and the location of Products, aggregated on a Product Group basis.

(b) If the Company determines that any meter tickets and/or meter readings and tank gauge readings provided pursuant to clause (a) above are inaccurate, the Company will provide to ▇▇▇▇ such corrected meter tickets and/or meter readings and tank gauge readings by no later than 7:00 p.m., HST on the third (3^rd) Business Day following the date on which such determination is made.

8.5 Title and Risk of Loss. Title and risk of loss to Products shall pass from the Company to ▇▇▇▇ as Products pass the Products Intake Point. ▇▇▇▇ shall retain title and risk of loss through the Included Product Pipelines and in the Included Product Tanks. Title and risk of loss to Products shall pass from ▇▇▇▇ (i) to the Company as Products pass at a Products Delivery Point or (ii) in the case of sales of Product by ▇▇▇▇ under the Marketing and Sales Agreement, to the Company or third parties (as the case may be) at a Products Offtake Point, including tank to tank transfer.

8.6 Product Specifications. The Company agrees that all Products sold to ▇▇▇▇ hereunder shall conform to the respective specifications set forth on Schedule A or to such other specifications as are from time to time agreed upon by the Parties.

8.7 Purchase Price of Products.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, the Company agrees to reimburse ▇▇▇▇ for all Ancillary Costs incurred by ▇▇▇▇. Such reimbursement shall occur from time to time upon demand of ▇▇▇▇ to the Company. When making such demand, ▇▇▇▇ shall promptly provide the Company with copies of any relevant trade tickets, invoices or other supporting documentation for Ancillary Costs incurred by ▇▇▇▇.

(c) To the extent the Company has not paid or reimbursed ▇▇▇▇ for any Ancillary Costs then outstanding and payable with respect to any month or any adjustments or refunds have occurred with respect to any Ancillary Costs previously paid or reimbursed, ▇▇▇▇ may include in the Monthly True-Up Amount for such month as a separate line item on the applicable Monthly True-Up Amount invoice an amount to compensate the Parties, as appropriate, for such items.

(d) From time to time upon the reasonable request of either Party, the Parties shall consult to assess whether (i) Ancillary Costs actually being incurred are consistent with the expectations of the Parties and the terms of this Agreement, (ii) procedures for paying, handling or otherwise dealing with Ancillary Costs can be improved or should be modified, (iii) documentation relating to substantiation of Ancillary Costs is sufficient and (iv) in any other respect the processing of Ancillary Costs hereunder can or improved or modified.

9.2 Month End Inventory.

(a) As of 11:59:59 p.m., HST, on the last day of each month, the Company shall apply the Volume Determination Procedures to the Included Locations, and based thereon shall determine for such month (i) the aggregate volume of Crude Oil held in the Crude Storage Tanks at that time (the “Ending In-Tank Crude Inventory”) and (ii) for each Product, the aggregate volume of such Product held in the Refinery Product Storage Tanks and the other Included Product Tanks at that time, plus the Product Linefill for such Product at that time (each, an “Ending In-Tank Product Inventory”). The Company shall notify ▇▇▇▇ of the Ending In-Tank Crude Inventory and each Ending In-Tank Product Inventory by no later than 5:00 p.m., HST on the tenth day thereafter, except that with respect to volume information provided by third parties, the Company shall endeavor to cause third parties to provide such information to ▇▇▇▇ by the tenth (10^th) day after the end of such month.

(b) ▇▇▇▇ may, or may have Supplier’s Inspector, at Aron’s sole cost and expense, witness all or any aspects of the Volume Determination Procedures as ▇▇▇▇ shall direct. If, in the reasonable judgment of ▇▇▇▇ or Supplier’s Inspector, the Volume Determination Procedures have not been applied correctly, then the Company will cooperate with ▇▇▇▇, or Supplier’s Inspector, to ensure the correct application of the Volume Determination Procedures, including making such revisions to the Ending In-Tank Crude Inventory and any Ending In-Tank Product Inventory as may be necessary to correct any such errors.

(c) The Company agrees that in addition to reporting to ▇▇▇▇ the volume determinations made by the Company pursuant to Section 9.2(a), the Company will provide to ▇▇▇▇ copies of all volume reports and statements related to Crude Oil or Products held at any Included Locations or with respect to any hydrocarbon inventories held by the Company at any other locations including any inventory, quantity, or quality inspection reports prepared by a third party.

(b) For any month, and for each Pricing Group (as defined on Schedule P), the “Monthly Net Product Group Sales” shall be determined as set forth on Schedule C.

9.4 Disposition Following Force Majeure.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if ▇▇▇▇ decides or is required, due to an event of Force Majeure affecting either Party or otherwise, to sell to any unrelated third parties, in arm’s length transactions, any quantities of Crude Oil that, based on the then current Monthly Crude Forecast or Weekly Projection, ▇▇▇▇ would reasonably have expected to have sold to the Company (any quantity of Crude Oil so disposed of by ▇▇▇▇ being referred to as a “Disposed Quantity”), then the Company shall be obligated to pay to ▇▇▇▇ an amount equal to the difference between the price at which such Disposed Quantity would have been sold to the Company, minus the amount realized in the sale to a third party (the “Disposition Amount”); provided, however, prior to ▇▇▇▇ making any such disposition and provided that no Event of Default with respect to the Company has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have a period equal to the lesser of (i) ten (10) Business Days from the occurrence of such Force Majeure event or (ii) the remaining time period before an event of default would occur under the contracts relevant to the Disposed Quantity as a result of such Force Majeure event, in which to arrange the disposition of such Disposed Quantity on commercially reasonable terms and conditions. In no event shall the Disposed Quantity exceed the aggregate amount of Crude Oil that the Company would have been expected to purchase based on their current Monthly Crude Forecast or Weekly Projection for the period during which the Company is unable to take delivery of Crude Oil as the result of the Force Majeure event or otherwise.

(b) In connection with its selling any Disposed Quantity, ▇▇▇▇ shall promptly determine the Disposition Amount and issue to the Company an invoice for such amount. The Company shall pay to ▇▇▇▇ the invoiced amount no later than the second Business Day after the date of such invoice. If, in connection with the sale of any Disposed Quantity, the Disposition Amount is a negative number, then ▇▇▇▇ shall pay the amount of such excess to the Company no later than the second Business Day after the date of such invoice.

(c) In connection with any disposition by ▇▇▇▇ permitted by this Section 9.4, ▇▇▇▇ will endeavor, in good faith, to consult with the Company regarding, and keep the Company apprised of Aron’s negotiations relating to, such disposition so long as, in Aron’s commercially reasonable judgment, doing so does not in any way interfere with or limit Aron’s ability to execute such disposition in such manner as it deems acceptable.

9.5 Tank and Pipeline Maintenance.

(a) Promptly after the Company completes its annual business plan with respect to any year, it shall notify ▇▇▇▇ of any tank maintenance contemplated with respect to such year that would result in any SPM Delivery Point, Crude Storage Tank, Product Storage Tank or Included Product Pipelines being unavailable.

(b) The Company immediately shall notify ▇▇▇▇ orally (followed by prompt written notice) of any previously unscheduled downtime or maintenance of any SPM Delivery Point, or in the case of any Crude Storage Tank, Product Storage Tank or Included Product Pipeline, any previously unscheduled downtime or maintenance expected to have a duration in excess of ten (10) days.

(c) The Company shall give ▇▇▇▇ at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any scheduled maintenance that the Company and/or any of its Affiliates intends to conduct on any of the Crude Storage Tanks or the Included Company Product Tanks that would result in such storage tank being taken out of service for a period greater than thirty (30) days (“Tank Maintenance”).

(d) In connection with any Tank Maintenance, the Parties shall promptly consult and endeavor to agree on adjusted inventory minimum and maximum levels and other appropriate adjustments hereunder that are to apply during the period of such Tank Maintenance, if deemed necessary by the Parties.

(e) The Company agrees that it will use its best efforts, consistent with good industry standards and practices, to complete (and to cause any third parties to complete) any Tank Maintenance as promptly as practicable. The Company shall provide ▇▇▇▇ with an initial estimate of the period of any Tank Maintenance and shall regularly update ▇▇▇▇ as to the progress of such Tank Maintenance. If, the Company determines that the expected completion date for Tank Maintenance has or is likely to change by thirty (30) days or more, it shall promptly notify ▇▇▇▇ of such determination.

9.6 Certain Regulatory Matters. If ▇▇▇▇ shall determine, in its reasonable judgment, that as a result of (a) the adoption or taking effect of any Applicable Law, (b) any change in Applicable Law or in the administration, interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, (c) the making or issuance of any request, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any Governmental Authority or (d) any interpretation of or proposal to implement any of the foregoing (each, a “Regulatory Event”), ▇▇▇▇ is or would (i) not permitted to hold or own all or certain types of Crude Oil and/or Products, (ii) be unable to perform in any material respect its obligations under this Agreement and/or the other Transaction Documents or (iii) were it to continue to hold or own such Crude Oil and/or Product or perform such obligations, be or likely to be subject to additional or increased burdens or costs, then it shall notify the Company in writing of such determination and the Parties shall promptly shall consult in good faith to determine and assess what actions or steps, if any, either Party or both Parties could implement to alleviate, minimize and/or mitigate the effect of any such Regulatory Event. If the Parties identify actions or steps that, in Aron’s reasonable judgment, can be implemented without resulting in ▇▇▇▇ incurring any additional costs or expenses hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents while preserving the economic terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including economic benefits, risk allocation, costs and liabilities), then the Parties shall, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, endeavor to implement such actions and steps. If the Parties are unable to identify such actions or steps or are unable to implement any actions and steps that have been so identified, that so long as such Regulatory Event continues, ▇▇▇▇ may, by written notice to the Company, elect to terminate this Agreement in the manner provided for in Article 20 on such date ▇▇▇▇ shall specify in such notice, which date shall constitute a Termination Date for purposes of Section 20; provided that (unless such Regulatory Event has or is expected to become effective at an earlier date) the date specified in such notice shall occur at least thirty (30) days after the date such notice is given and if practicable on the last day of a month; provided further that, to the extent not inconsistent with or in violation of such Regulatory Event and subject to the expected or actual effective date of such Regulatory Event, ▇▇▇▇ will specify a Termination Date occurring at least six (6) months but no more than nine (9) months after such notice, but is under no obligation to specify such later Termination Date if, in Aron’s sole good faith judgment, doing so presents any risk to ▇▇▇▇ that it may become subject to such Regulatory Event or any additional material costs, burdens or restrictions as a result thereof.

ARTICLE 10

PAYMENT PROVISIONS

10.1 Interim Payments.

(a) For each day, ▇▇▇▇ will calculate a provisional payment (each an “Interim Payment”) by applying the applicable Daily Prices to the Estimated Daily Net Crude Sales and Estimated Daily Net Product Sales for that day, in the manner illustrated on Schedule G and using Best Available Inventory Data; provided that if inventory data have not been reported on any day within a two (2) Business Day period, ▇▇▇▇ will use the inventory data for the day occurring during the thirty (30) day period preceding such calendar day that results in the largest Estimated Daily Net Crude Sales or the smallest Estimated Daily Net Product Sales (as the case may be), in any case resulting in an amount equal to the highest daily amount that would be payable to ▇▇▇▇; provided further that, if ▇▇▇▇ determines that any inventory data it has used in such determination was inaccurate by at least 20,000 barrels, then ▇▇▇▇ shall adjust future Interim Payments to take account of any corrected inventory data.

The “Interim Payment” shall be an amount equal to the value of the Estimated Daily Net Crude Sales based on the applicable Daily Prices minus the sum of the value of the Estimated Daily Net Product Sales based on the applicable Daily Prices. If this is a negative amount, the absolute value will represent an amount payable to the Company and if this is a positive amount, it will represent an amount payable to ▇▇▇▇.

(b) With respect to the Estimated Daily Net Crude Sales and Estimated Daily Net Product Sales,

(i) The inventory data to be used in determining each shall include the Best Available Inventory Data.

(ii) The Company shall, at the end of each day, provide to ▇▇▇▇ inventory reports in the form set forth on Schedule H, showing the quantity of Crude Oil held in the Crude Storage Tanks and the quantities of Products held in the Included Product Tanks; and

(i) “Estimated Daily Net Crude Sales” “Estimated Daily Net Crude Sales” for any day shall be the estimate for that day of the Crude Oil volume, excluding any Other Barrels, that equals the Ending Inventory for the Material “#CRUDERUN” (as shown in the Inventory Report), which will equal the total number of Crude Oil Barrels run for such day, excluding any Other Barrels;

(ii) “Estimated Daily Net Product Sales” for any day and Product shall be the estimate for that day of the Product volume that equals (A) the total of (w) the aggregate volume of such Product held in the Product Storage Facilities at the end of such day, plus (x) the Daily Product Sales of such Product for such day, minus (y) the Daily Product Purchases of such Product for such day, minus (z) the aggregate volume of such Product held in the Product Storage Facilities at the beginning of such day; and

(d) For each day, ▇▇▇▇ shall determine the Estimated Daily Net Crude Sales and Estimated Daily Net Product Sales, in a commercially reasonable manner based on the inventory data and otherwise in the manner contemplated by this Section 10.1 and Schedule G, and to the extent it deems appropriate taking into account such other data as may be relevant to the determination of such estimates.

(e) ▇▇▇▇ shall advise the Company of the amount of an Interim Payment via invoice issued in accordance with Schedule G. The party obligated to make such Interim Payment shall cause such payment to be made on the applicable Payment Date indicated on Schedule G.

(f) For any Business Day, the Interim Payment to be determined and advised by ▇▇▇▇ shall be the Interim Payment for that day, provided that if such Business Day is followed by one or more non-Business Days (whether weekends or Bank Holidays), then ▇▇▇▇ shall determine and advise to the Company the Interim Payment for that Business Day as well as the Interim Payment each of such following non-Business Days and all such Interim Payments shall be due on the same day.

10.2 Monthly True-Up Amount.

(a) ▇▇▇▇ will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Company, within five (5) Business Days following receipt of the Ending In-Tank Crude Inventory and the Ending In-Tank Product Inventory pursuant to Section 9.2, a calculation and appropriate documentation to support such calculation for such month for a monthly true-up payment (the “Monthly True-Up Amount”). The Monthly True-Up Amount for any month shall be equal to:

(i) the Total Monthly Crude Oil True-Up Amount (as defined in Schedule C); plus

(ii) the Aggregate Monthly Product True-Up Amount (as defined in Schedule C), plus

(iii) the aggregate amount of unpaid or unreimbursed Ancillary Costs for such month and any adjustments relating to estimated or paid Ancillary Cost, plus

(iv) the Counterparty Crude Sales Fee for such month, plus

(v) the Deferral Fee for such month, plus

(vi) the Deferred Payment Availability Fee for such month, plus

(vii) the Monthly Cover Costs; plus

(viii) any other amount then due from the Company to ▇▇▇▇ under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, minus

(ix) any other amount then due from ▇▇▇▇ to the Company under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

If the Monthly True-Up Amount is a negative number, then the absolute value of such number shall be the amount due from ▇▇▇▇ to the Company, and if the Monthly True-Up Amount is a positive number, such amount shall be due from the Company to ▇▇▇▇. The Company shall pay any Monthly True-Up Amount due to ▇▇▇▇ no later than the earlier of (i) fifteen (15) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the monthly invoice and all related documentation supporting the invoiced amount or (ii) the last Business Day of such month. ▇▇▇▇ shall pay any Monthly True-Up Amount due to the Company no later than the earlier of (i) fifteen (15) Business Days after making its definitive determination of such amount or (ii) the last Business Day of such month.

(b) For purposes of determining the amounts due under clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 10.2(a), the definitions and formulas set forth in Schedule C shall apply and for purposes of determining the amount due under clause (v) and (vi) of Section 10.2(a), the definitions and formula set forth in Schedule F shall apply. In addition, the Fee Letter contains various definitions and formulas that shall be applied for purposes of determining certain of the amounts referred to in Section 10.2(a).

10.3 Maximum Inventory Levels. Notwithstanding any transfer of title to ▇▇▇▇ to all such Crude Oil or Products, ▇▇▇▇ shall not be obligated at any time to pay for any quantity of Crude Oil or Product under Section 10.1 or 10.2 or otherwise hereunder to the extent such payment would relate to an aggregate quantity of Crude Oil or such Products in the Included Locations in excess of the then applicable maximum level as set forth on Schedule D or as may have been temporarily adjusted under Section 7.9.

10.4 Invoices.

(a) Invoices shall be prepared and submitted in accordance to Schedule G.

(b) If the Company in good faith disputes the amount of any invoice issued by ▇▇▇▇ relating to any amount payable hereunder (including Interim Payments, Monthly True-Up Amounts or Ancillary Costs), it nonetheless shall pay ▇▇▇▇ the full amount of such invoice by the due date and inform ▇▇▇▇ in writing of the portion of the invoice with which it disagrees and why; provided that, to the extent that the Company promptly informs ▇▇▇▇ of a calculation error that is obvious on its face, the Company shall pay ▇▇▇▇ the undisputed amounts and may retain such disputed amount pending resolution of such dispute. The Parties shall cooperate in resolving the dispute expeditiously. If the Parties agree that the Company does not owe some or all of the disputed amount or as may be determined by a court pursuant to Article 25, ▇▇▇▇ shall return such amount to the Company, together with interest at the Fed Funds Rate from the date such amount was paid, within two (2) Business Days from, as appropriate, the date of their agreement or the date of the final, non-appealable decision of such court. Following resolution of any such disputed amount, ▇▇▇▇ will issue a corrected invoice and any residual payment that would be required thereby will be made by the appropriate Party within two (2) Business Days.

10.5 Other Feedstocks. If ▇▇▇▇ procures any catfeed or other non-Crude Oil feedstocks for the Company to run at the Refinery, the Parties shall agree in connection with such procurement upon terms for incorporating the purchase of such feedstocks into the daily and monthly settlements contemplated by Sections 10.1 and 10.2 above.

10.6 Interest. Interest shall accrue on late payments under this Agreement at the Default Interest Rate from the date that payment is due until the date that payment is actually received by ▇▇▇▇.

10.7 Payment in Full in Same Day Funds. All payments to be made under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer of same day funds in U.S. Dollars to such bank account at such bank as the payee shall designate in writing to the payor from time to time. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, all payments shall be made in full without discount, offset, withholding, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever for any claims which a Party may now have or hereafter acquire against the other Party, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise.

ARTICLE 11

DEFERRED PAYMENT

11.1 Deferred Payment Period. From and after the Commencement Date until the Deferred Payment Termination Date (the “Deferred Payment Period”), payment of amounts due from the Company to ▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇ to the Company under this Agreement shall be deferred or applied to the extent provided in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Article 11.

11.2 Daily Deferrals. ▇▇▇▇ shall, on each Business Day, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth on Schedule F hereto, determine whether and the extent to which either (i) payments due hereunder from one Party to the other shall be subject to deferred settlement or (ii) payments previously deferred hereunder shall be subject to accelerated settlement. Promptly after such determination on any Business Day, ▇▇▇▇ shall notify the Company in writing (which include notice by email) of the results of such determination and the Parties shall effect payment hereunder in accordance with such results.

11.3 Invoicing and Other Communications. ▇▇▇▇ will make commercially reasonable efforts to incorporate payment deferrals and application under Sections 11.2 above in the invoice it issues for Interim Payments and Monthly True-Up Amounts if such information is available prior to such issuance; provided that if such information is not incorporated into such invoice, ▇▇▇▇ will thereafter endeavor in a commercially reasonable manner to apprise the Company, via separate communication, of such information prior to the due date for such Interim Payment or Monthly True-Up Amount.

11.4 Interim Increases or Reductions of Current Deferred Payment Amount. As provided in Schedule F hereto, the Current Deferred Payment Amount will from time to time increase or decrease based on a combination of variables as determined and applied thereunder, including without limitation changes in the Deferred Payment Credit Support Amount. In addition, as provided in Schedule F, either Party may elect to prepay an amount that has been deferred prior to its deferred settlement date, which shall result in adjustment to the Current Deferred Payment Amount.

11.5 Deferral Fee. In consideration of the payment deferral provided for in this Article 11, the Company shall owe and pay to ▇▇▇▇, for each month (or portion of a month) during the Deferred Payment Period, the Deferral Fee for such month (or portion of a month). The Deferral Fee shall be calculated as of the end of each month or the last date of the Deferred Payment Period for the month or portion of a month ending on such date. For purposes of calculating such Deferral Fee, ▇▇▇▇ shall determine the Average Deferral Amount for the relevant period in

accordance with Schedule F. Each Deferral Fee calculated as of the end of a month shall be due as provided in Section 10.2. A Deferral Fee calculated as of the end of the Deferred Payment Period shall be due pursuant Section 19 or 20, as applicable.

11.6	Termination of Deferred Payment Period.

(a) On the Deferred Payment Termination Date, the Current Deferred Payment Amount shall be immediately due and payable by the Company to ▇▇▇▇, together any Deferral Fee due with respect to the period ending on such date.

(b) The “Deferred Payment Termination Date” shall be the earliest to occur of the following: (i) the Termination Date pursuant to Section 20; (ii) upon notice by ▇▇▇▇ after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default with respect to the Company (other than an Event of Default under Section 19.1(d)); (iii) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Company under Section 19.1(d); and (iv) such date as the Parties shall mutually agree in writing.

11.7 Eligible Receivables and Eligible Hydrocarbon Inventory.

(a) By no later than 7:00 p.m. HST on each Business Day, the Company shall provide to ▇▇▇▇, via email, reports in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to ▇▇▇▇ as illustrated in Schedule H (the “Receivables Report”, “Billing Due Report” and “Inventory Report”) showing (i) the then current total amount of Eligible Receivables and a breakdown of such Eligible Receivables by Acceptable Account Debtor, which breakdown shall indicate the amount and remaining tenor of each Eligible Receivable owing by the relevant Acceptable Account Debtor, and (ii) the inventory quantities that then constitute Eligible Hydrocarbon Inventory, including the quantity and location of each type of inventory.

(b) Promptly after receipt of each Receivables Report, Billing Due Report and Inventory Report, ▇▇▇▇ shall calculate the Deferred Payment Credit Support Amount based on the information provided in such report; provided that ▇▇▇▇ may only exclude from such calculation any receivables included in such report that ▇▇▇▇, in its reasonable judgment, determines in good faith do not constitute Eligible Receivables and any Hydrocarbons that ▇▇▇▇, in its reasonable judgement, determines in good faith do not constitute Eligible Hydrocarbon Inventory.

(c) The Company, by delivering a Receivables Report, Billing Due Report and Inventory Report shall be deemed to represent and warrant to ▇▇▇▇ (to the same extent as if set forth in this Agreement) that (i) all Accounts identified as Eligible Receivables in such report meet all the requirements of an Eligible Receivable set forth in this Agreement and (ii) all Hydrocarbons identified as Eligible Hydrocarbon Inventory in such report meet all the requirements of Eligible Hydrocarbon Inventory set forth in this Agreement.

(d) The Company agrees that, at least once every 6 months, the Company shall procure and cause to be provided to ▇▇▇▇ a due diligence report prepared by KPMG LLP (or such other independent auditor as shall be acceptable to ▇▇▇▇) and addressed to

▇▇▇▇ relating to the Company’s Eligible Receivables and other matters pertaining to the Company and its operations and financial condition, which report shall be in substance comparable to the reports previously provided by KPMG to the Company’s lenders (a “Receivables Assessment”). The Company further agrees that, if ▇▇▇▇ has in its reasonable judgment identified material discrepancies between those Accounts that the Company has reported as Eligible Receivables and the Accounts that actually qualify as Eligible Receivables, then ▇▇▇▇ may require that the Company procure and cause to be provided to ▇▇▇▇ one or more additional Receivables Assessments, provided that ▇▇▇▇ shall not be entitled to require more than two additional Receivables Assessments during any 12 month period. All costs of procuring such Receivables Assessment shall be borne by the Company.

The Company shall promptly notify ▇▇▇▇ in writing of the date for which any inspection, maintenance, restart or turnaround at the Refinery or the Refinery Facilities has been scheduled, or any revision to previously scheduled inspection, maintenance, restart or turnaround, which may affect receipts of Crude Oil at the Refinery, the SPM or the Storage Facilities, the processing of Crude Oil in the Refinery or the delivery of Products to ▇▇▇▇ or by ▇▇▇▇ to the Company or any third parties; provided that, (i) promptly after the Company completes its annual business plan with respect to any year, it shall notify ▇▇▇▇ of any such inspection, maintenance, restart or turnaround contemplated with respect to such year and (ii) the Company shall give ▇▇▇▇ at least two (2) months’ prior written notice of any such scheduled inspection, maintenance, restart or turnaround.

14.2 The Company shall promptly notify ▇▇▇▇ orally (followed by prompt written notice) of any previously unscheduled downtime at the Refinery hydrocracker or Crude Oil unit exceeding twenty-four (24) hours.

14.3 In the event of a scheduled shutdown of the Refinery, the Company shall, to the extent feasible, complete processing of all Crude Oil being charged to, processed at or consumed in the Refinery at that time.

14.4 (a) Subject to Section 14.4(b) below, if at any time ▇▇▇▇ determines that all or any portion of the facilities constituting an Included Location (in each case, “Identified Facilities”) fail to satisfy Aron’s then applicable policies and procedures (such policies and procedures to be in reasonable accordance with and not to exceed industry, regulatory and customary practices) relating to the prudent maintenance and operation of storage tanks, pipeline facilities, vessels and other infrastructure used to store or transport crude oil and/or refined products (“Aron’s Policies and Procedures”), and without limiting any other rights and remedies available to ▇▇▇▇ hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, ▇▇▇▇ may provide the Company notice of such failure so long as such failure is continuing and, if ▇▇▇▇ provides such notice, the following provisions shall be applicable: (i) in the case of any Identified Facilities that are subject to the Storage Facility Agreement, upon such date as ▇▇▇▇ shall specify, such Identified Facilities shall cease to constitute an Included Location (or part of an Included Location) for purposes hereof and any payment to ▇▇▇▇ in respect of any Crude Oil or Products held in such Identified Facilities shall become due in accordance with the provisions of Section 10 hereof; and (ii) in the case of any Identified Facilities that are subject to a Required Storage and Transportation Arrangement, the Parties shall endeavor as promptly as reasonably practicable to execute such rights, provide such notices, negotiate such reassignments or terminations and/or take such further actions as ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ necessary or appropriate to terminate Aron’s status as the party entitled to use and/or hold Crude Oil or Products at such Identified Facilities and, concurrently with effecting the termination of such status, such Identified Facilities shall cease to constitute an Included Location (or part of an Included Location) for purposes hereof and any payment to ▇▇▇▇ in respect of any Crude Oil or Products held in such Identified Facilities shall become due in accordance with the provisions of Section 10 hereof.

(b) Aron’s rights under Section 14.4(a) above are subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

(i) ▇▇▇▇ shall apply Aron’s Policies and Procedures with respect to the Included Locations in a non-discriminatory manner as compared with other similar storage tanks and pipeline facilities utilized by ▇▇▇▇ in a similar manner;

(ii) If the failure of any Identified Facilities to satisfy Aron’s Policies and Procedures is a result of Aron’s Policies and Procedures exceeding the standards or requirements imposed under Applicable Law or good and prudent industry practice, then (1) ▇▇▇▇ shall not require the removal of such Identified Facilities as Included Locations until the 120^th day after giving the Company written notice of such failure, unless in Aron’s reasonable judgment such failure presents an imminent risk relating to such Identified Facility in which case ▇▇▇▇ may require that such Identified Facility immediately cease to constitute an Included Location and the terms of Section 14.4(a) shall immediately become applicable, (2) during such 120 day period, ▇▇▇▇ shall consult with the Company in good faith to determine whether based on further information provided by the Company such Identified Facilities comply with Aron’s Policies and Procedures and/or whether additional actions or procedures can be taken or implemented so that, as a result, such Identified Facilities would comply with Aron’s Policies and Procedures, and (3) if it is determined that such Identified Facilities do comply with Aron’s Policies and Procedures or, as a result of such additional actions or procedures, such Identified Facilities become so compliant within such 120 day period, then such Identified Facilities shall not cease to be Included Locations based on the noncompliance stated in Aron’s notice to the Company;

(iii) If within the 120 day period referred to in clause (ii)(2) above, the Company has identified and diligently commenced the implementation of additional actions or procedures that are intended to result in such Identified Facilities becoming compliant with Aron’s Policies and Procedures, but such implementation cannot through commercially reasonable efforts be completed within such 120 day period, then so long as the Company continues to diligently and in a commercially reasonable manner pursue the implementation of such additional actions and procedures, ▇▇▇▇ will extend such 120 day period up for up to an additional 60 days (or such longer period as the Parties may mutually agree) to allow for such implementation to be completed and if such implementation is completed within such additional 60 day period (or such longer period as the Parties may mutually agree), then such Identified Facilities shall not cease to be Included Locations based on the noncompliance stated in Aron’s notice to the Company; and

(iv) If any Identified Facilities cease to be Included Locations pursuant to Section 14.4(a) above and thereafter ▇▇▇▇ determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment, that such Identified Facilities have become compliant with Aron’s Policies and Procedures, then ▇▇▇▇ shall promptly cooperate with the Company to reestablish such Identified Facilities as Included Locations hereunder.

ARTICLE 15

TAXES

15.1 (a) The Company shall pay and indemnify and hold ▇▇▇▇ harmless against, the amount of all sales, use, gross receipts, value added, severance, ad valorem, excise, property, spill, environmental, transaction-based, or similar taxes, duties and fees, howsoever designated regardless of the taxing authority, and all penalties and interest thereon, except to the extent such penalties and interest are due to the willful misconduct of ▇▇▇▇ (each, a “Tax” and collectively, “Taxes”), paid, owing, asserted against, or incurred by ▇▇▇▇ directly or indirectly with respect to the Crude Oil procured and sold to Company hereunder, and the Products purchased and resold to Company hereunder, and other transactions contemplated hereunder to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law; in the event that the Company is not permitted to pay such Taxes, the amount due hereunder shall be adjusted by ▇▇▇▇ such that the Company shall bear the economic burden of the Taxes. The Company shall pay when due such Taxes unless there is an applicable exemption from such Tax, with written confirmation of such Tax exemption to be contemporaneously provided to ▇▇▇▇. To the extent ▇▇▇▇ is required by law to collect such Taxes, one hundred percent (100%) of such Taxes shall be added to invoices as separately stated charges and paid in full by the Company in accordance with this Agreement, unless the Company is exempt from such Taxes and furnishes ▇▇▇▇ with a certificate of exemption; provided, however, that (i) the failure of ▇▇▇▇ to separately state or collect Taxes from the Company shall not alter the liability of the Company for Taxes and (ii) ▇▇▇▇ shall only be liable for Taxes if and to the extent that such Taxes have been separately stated and collected from the Company. Any refund or credit with respect to any Taxes paid or indemnified by Company hereunder shall belong to Company. ▇▇▇▇ shall be responsible for all taxes imposed on Aron’s net or gross (or any derivative thereof) income, and the Company shall be responsible for all taxes imposed on the Company’s net or gross (or any derivative thereof) income. For avoidance of doubt, no taxes described in the immediately preceding sentence shall include gross receipts taxes described in the first sentence of this Section 15.1(a).

(b) In addition to paragraph (a), the Company shall complete and file all necessary property tax returns on Aron’s behalf with respect to Crude Oil and Products, regardless of whether property tax laws place the obligation to do so on ▇▇▇▇ or the Company, disclose Aron’s ownership interest therein, and pay such amounts as due. Provided that the Company pays (or indemnifies ▇▇▇▇ for) all property taxes, the Company shall have the first right to claim income tax credits for such property taxes paid and shall be solely responsible for the extent to which such credits are available to or realized by the Company.

15.2 If the Company disagrees with Aron’s determination that any Tax is due with respect to transactions under this Agreement, the Company shall have the right to seek an administrative determination from the applicable taxing authority, or, alternatively, the Company shall have the right to contest any asserted claim for such Taxes, subject to its agreeing to indemnify ▇▇▇▇ for the entire amount of such contested Tax should such Tax be deemed applicable. ▇▇▇▇ agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company, in the event the Company determines to contest any such Taxes.

16.4 No Reduction or Release. The mere purchase and existence of insurance does not reduce or release either Party from any liability incurred or assumed under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 17

FORCE MAJEURE

17.1 If a Party is rendered unable by an event of Force Majeure to perform in whole or in part any obligation or condition of this Agreement (the “Affected Party”), it shall not be liable to the other Party to perform such obligation or condition (except for payment and indemnification obligations) for so long as the event of Force Majeure exists and to the extent that performance is hindered by such event of Force Majeure; provided, however, that the Affected Party shall use any commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove the event of Force Majeure. During the period that performance by the Affected Party of a part or whole of its obligations has been suspended by reason of an event of Force Majeure, the other Party (the “Non-Affected Party”) likewise may suspend the performance of all or a part of its obligations to the extent that such suspension is commercially reasonable, except for any payment and indemnification obligations. The Parties acknowledge that if, as a result of a Force Majeure, the Company were to suspend its receipt and/or processing of Crude Oil, then ▇▇▇▇ would be entitled to suspend, to a comparable extent, its purchasing of Products.

17.2 The Affected Party shall give prompt oral notice to the Non-Affected Party of its declaration of an event of Force Majeure, to be followed by written notice within twenty-four (24) hours after receiving such oral notice of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event, including, to the extent feasible, the details and the expected duration of the Force Majeure event and the volume of Crude Oil or Products affected. The Affected Party also shall promptly notify the Non-Affected Party when the event of Force Majeure is terminated. However, the failure or inability of the Affected Party to provide such notice within the time periods specified above shall not preclude it from declaring an event of Force Majeure.

17.3 In the event the Affected Party’s performance is suspended due to an event of Force Majeure in excess of thirty (30) consecutive days after the date that notice of such event is given, and so long as such event is continuing, the Non-Affected Party, in its sole discretion, may terminate or curtail its obligations under this Agreement affected by such event of Force Majeure (the “Affected Obligations”) by giving notice of such termination or curtailment to the Affected Party, and neither Party shall have any further liability to the other in respect of such Affected Obligations to the extent terminated or curtailed, except for the rights and remedies previously accrued under this Agreement, any payment and indemnification obligations by either Party under this Agreement and the obligations set forth in Article 20. Without limiting any rights of any Non-Affected Party under this Article 17, the parties agree that following notice of an event of Force Majeure, they will consult in good faith to assess potential actions or steps with respect thereto.

17.4 If any Affected Obligation is not terminated pursuant to this Article 17 or any other provision of this Agreement, performance shall resume to the extent made possible by the end or amelioration of the event of Force Majeure in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the term of this Agreement shall not be extended.

17.5 The Parties acknowledge and agree that the right of ▇▇▇▇ to declare a Force Majeure based upon any failure by a Third Party Supplier to deliver Crude Oil under a ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contract is solely for purposes of determining the respective rights and obligations as between ▇▇▇▇ and the Company with respect to any Crude Oil delivery affected thereby, and any such declaration shall not excuse the default of such Third Party Supplier under one or more ▇▇▇▇ Procurement Contracts. Any claims that ▇▇▇▇ may have as a result of such Third Party Supplier’s failure shall be subject to Section 5.9 and any other applicable provisions of this Agreement relating to claims against third parties.

17.6 If at any time during the Term any of the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements cease to be in effect (in whole or in part) or any of the applicable Included Product Pipelines or Included Product Tanks cease, in whole or in part, to be available to ▇▇▇▇ pursuant to the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements, and the foregoing is a result of or attributable to any owner or operator of such Included Product Pipelines or Included Product Tanks becoming Bankrupt or breaching or defaulting in any of its obligations relating to the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements, then:

(a) The Company shall promptly use commercially reasonable efforts to establish for Aron’s benefit alternative and/or replacement storage and transportation arrangements no less favorable to ▇▇▇▇ (in ▇▇▇▇’▇ reasonable judgment) than those that have ceased to be available;

(b) Until such alternative and/or replacement arrangements complying with clause (a) above have been established, each Party shall be deemed to have been affected by an event of Force Majeure and its obligations under this Agreement shall be curtailed to the extent such performance is hindered by such lack of effectiveness of any Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements or the availability of any pipeline or storage facility related thereto; and

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall ▇▇▇▇ have any obligation under or in connection with this Agreement to store Crude Oil or Product in any pipeline or store Crude Oil or Product in any storage facility at any time from and after the owner or operator thereof becoming Bankrupt. If any such storage facility is an Included Location then ▇▇▇▇ may, in its discretion, elect upon written notice to the Company that such storage facility shall cease to be an Included Location as of a date specified in such written notice in which case any Crude Oil or Product held by ▇▇▇▇ therein shall be purchased by the Company in accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections 10.1 and 10.2 hereof.

(i) on an annual basis, the Company shall determine the volume of Sludge in each Included Tank using Infrared Thermography to make such determination;

(ii) so long as no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Company has occurred and is continuing, Aron may at any time require that the Company determine within thirty (30) Business Days the volume of Sludge in each Included Tank using Infrared Thermography if no such determination has been made in the immediately preceding six (6) months and the annual determination to be made under clause (i) above is not scheduled to occur within the next 30 days;

(q) The Company shall be the importer of record of all shipments of Crude Oil or Products held in the Included Tanks.

18.3 Acknowledgment. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (1) Aron is a merchant of Crude Oil and Products and may, from time to time, be dealing with prospective counterparties, or pursuing trading or hedging strategies, in connection with aspects of Aron’s business which are unrelated hereto and that such dealings and such trading or hedging strategies may be different from or opposite to those being pursued by or for the Company, (2) Aron may, in its sole discretion, determine whether to advise the Company of any potential transaction with a Third Party Supplier and prior to advising the Company of any such potential transaction Aron may, in its discretion, determine not to pursue such transaction or to pursue such transaction in connection with another aspect of Aron’s business and Aron shall have no liability of any nature to the Company as a result of any such determination, (3) Aron has no fiduciary or trust obligations of any nature with respect to the Refinery or the Company or any of its Affiliates, (4) Aron may enter into transactions and purchase Crude Oil or Products for its own account or the account of others at prices more favorable than those being paid by the Company hereunder and (5) nothing herein shall be construed to prevent Aron, or any of its partners, officers, employees or Affiliates, in any way from purchasing, selling or otherwise trading in Crude Oil, Products or any other commodity for its or their own account or for the account of others, whether prior to, simultaneously with or subsequent to any transaction under this Agreement.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Event of Default with respect to the Company, on the one hand, or Aron, on the other hand (such defaulting Party, the “Defaulting Party”) has occurred and is continuing, Aron (where the Company is the Defaulting Party) or the Company (where Aron is the Defaulting Party) (such non-defaulting Party or Parties, the “Non-Defaulting Party”) may, without notice, (i) declare all of the Defaulting Party’s obligations under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, all without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Defaulting Party, including the Current Deferred Payment Amount as contemplated under Section 11.8(a) and/or (ii) subject to Section 19.2(c), exercise any rights and remedies provided or available to the Non-Defaulting Party under this Agreement or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Uniform Commercial Code and as provided under this Section 19.2.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Defaulting Party, the Non-Defaulting Party shall have the right, immediately and at any time(s) thereafter, to terminate this Agreement (and any other contract or agreement that may then be outstanding among the Parties that relates specifically to this Agreement, including any Transaction Document) and, subject to Section 19.2(c), to liquidate and terminate any or all rights and obligations under this Agreement and such other Transaction Documents; provided that, in the event Aron is the Non-Defaulting Party, this Agreement shall not be deemed to have terminated in full until Aron shall have disposed of all Crude Oil and Products owned or maintained by Aron in connection herewith. The Settlement Amount (as defined below) shall be calculated in a commercially reasonable manner based on such liquidated and terminated rights and obligations and shall be payable by one Party to the other. The “Settlement Amount” shall mean the amount, expressed in U.S. Dollars, of losses and costs that are or would be incurred by the Non-Defaulting Party (expressed as a positive number) or gains that are or would be realized by the Non-Defaulting Party (expressed as a negative number) as a result of the liquidation and termination of all rights and obligations under this Agreement and such other Transaction Documents. The determination of the Settlement Amount shall include (without duplication): (x) the losses and costs (or gains) incurred or realized (and determined in a commercially reasonable manner) by the Non-Defaulting Party in terminating, transferring, redeploying

or otherwise modifying any outstanding Procurement Contracts, (y) the losses and costs (or gains) incurred or realized (and determined in a commercially reasonable manner) by the Non-Defaulting Party in terminating and liquidating any transactions evidenced by confirmations subject hereto (including the SPM Master Buy/Sell Crude Confirmation, SPM Master Buy/Sell Product Confirmation and any other buy/sell confirmation hereunder) and (z) all losses and costs (or gains) incurred or realized by the Non-Defaulting Party, as a result of the Non-Defaulting Party’s terminating, liquidating, maintaining, obtaining or reestablishing any Related Hedges (including, if Aron is the Non-Defaulting Party, all hedging transactions relating to the Monthly Market Structure Roll Fees). If the Settlement Amount is a positive number it shall be due to the Non-Defaulting Party and if it is a negative number, the absolute value thereof shall be due to the Defaulting Party.

(c) The Settlement Amount shall be determined by the Non-Defaulting Party, acting in good faith, in a commercially reasonable manner. The Non-Defaulting Party shall determine the Settlement Amount commencing as of the date on which such termination occurs by reference to such futures, forward, swap and options markets as it shall select in its commercially reasonable judgment; provided that the Non-Defaulting Party is not required to effect such terminations and/or determine the Settlement Amount on a single day, but rather may effect such terminations and determine the Settlement Amount over a commercially reasonable period of time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that for purposes of determining the Settlement Amount: (1) all fees hereunder and under the Fee Letter (other than the Refinery Crude Purchase Fee Price applicable to the Refinery Crude Purchase Fee) shall be due to Aron and determined by Aron based on the applicable minimum inventory levels specified in Schedule D and current forward curve and applicable Benchmark Prices as of the date of determination of the Settlement Amount; (2) for the period following the date of determination of the Settlement Amount, the Refinery Crude Purchase Fee Price applicable to the Refinery Crude Purchase Fee shall be included in the Settlement Amount based on an assumed net daily crude runs of 60,000 Barrels per day through the Expiration Date; (3) to the extent the Fee Letter provides for the calculation of any amount to be included in the Settlement Amount, the provisions of the Fee Letter shall be controlling for such purpose; and (4) to the extent the Non-Defaulting Party deems it commercially reasonable to do so, it may in referencing prices in the futures, forward, swap and options markets for purposes of calculating various elements of the Settlement Amount endeavor to align the dates as of which such reference prices are determined. In calculating the Settlement Amount, the Non-Defaulting Party shall discount to present value (in any commercially reasonable manner based on London interbank rates for the applicable period and currency) any amount which would be due at a later date and shall add interest (at a rate determined in the same manner) to any amount due prior to the date of the calculation.

(d) Without limiting any other rights or remedies hereunder, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Aron is the Non-Defaulting Party, Aron may, in its discretion, (i) withhold or suspend its obligations, including any of its delivery or payment obligations, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, (ii) withdraw from storage any and all of the Crude Oil and/or Products then in the Included

Locations, (iii) otherwise arrange for the disposition of any Crude Oil and/or Products subject to any outstanding Aron Procurement Contract or Included Purchase Transaction and/or the modification, settlement or termination of such outstanding Aron Procurement Contract or Included Purchase Transaction in such manner as it elects and (iv) liquidate in a commercially reasonable manner any credit support, margin or collateral, to the extent not already in the form of cash (including applying any other margin or collateral) and apply and set off such credit support, margin or collateral or the proceeds thereof against any obligation owing by the Company to Aron (including without limitation the Initial Margin Amount). Aron shall be under no obligation to prioritize the order with respect to which it exercises any one or more rights and remedies available hereunder. The Company shall in all events remain liable to Aron for any amount payable by the Company in respect of any of its obligations remaining unpaid after any such liquidation, application and set off.

(e) Without limiting any other rights or remedies hereunder, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Company is the Non-Defaulting Party, the Company may, in its discretion, (i) withhold or suspend its obligations, including any of its delivery or payment obligations, under this Agreement and/or (ii) otherwise arrange for the settlement or termination of the Parties’ outstanding commitments hereunder, the sale in a commercially reasonable manner of Crude Oil and/or Product for Aron’s account, and the replacement of the supply and offtake arrangement contemplated hereby with such alternative arrangements as it may procure.

(f) The Non-Defaulting Party shall set off (i) the Settlement Amount (if due to the Defaulting Party), plus any performance security (including any other margin or collateral) then held by the Non-Defaulting Party pursuant to the Transaction Documents, plus (at the Non-Defaulting Party’s election) any or all other amounts due to the Defaulting Party hereunder (including under Article 10), against (ii) the Settlement Amount (if due to the Non-Defaulting Party), plus any performance security (including any other margin or collateral) then held by the Defaulting Party, plus (at the Non-Defaulting Party’s election) any or all other amounts due to the Non-Defaulting Party hereunder (including under Article 10), so that all such amounts shall be netted to a single liquidated amount payable by one Party to the other (the “Liquidated Amount”). The Party with the payment obligation shall pay the Liquidated Amount to the applicable other Parties within one (1) Business Day after such amount has been determined. In addition, the Parties acknowledge that, in connection with an Event of Default hereunder, the Step-out Inventory Sales Agreement may be terminated and with respect thereto any rights and remedies available hereunder, under any other agreement between the Parties hereto or the parties thereto, or at law or equity may be exercised.

(g) No delay or failure on the part of the Non-Defaulting Party in exercising any right or remedy to which it may be entitled on account of any Event of Default shall constitute an abandonment of any such right, and the Non-Defaulting Party shall be entitled to exercise such right or remedy at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(h) The Non-Defaulting Party’s rights under this Section 19.2 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or exclusion of, any other rights which the Non-Defaulting Party may have (whether by agreement, operation of law or otherwise), including any rights of recoupment, setoff, combination of accounts or other rights under any credit support that may from time to time be provided in connection with this Agreement. The Defaulting Party shall indemnify and hold the Non-Defaulting Party harmless from all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred in the exercise of any remedies hereunder.

(i) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Non-Defaulting Party may, without limitation on its rights under this Section 19.2, set off amounts which the Defaulting Party owes to it against any amounts which it owes to the Defaulting Party (whether hereunder, under any other contract or agreement or otherwise and whether or not then due).

(j) The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is intended to be a “master netting agreement” as such term is defined in section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code. As used in this Section 19.2, unless otherwise expressly provided, each reference to “this Agreement” shall, and shall be deemed to, be a reference to “this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.”

(k) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Non-Defaulting Party has such additional netting and setoff rights as are provided in the Master Netting Agreement.

ARTICLE 20

SETTLEMENT AT TERMINATION

20.1 Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason other than as a result of an Event of Default (in which case the Expiration Date or such other date as the Parties may agree shall be the “Termination Date”; provided that if such date is not a Business Day, the Termination Date shall occur on the immediately preceding Business Day), the Parties covenant and agree to proceed as provided in this Article 20; provided that (x) this Agreement shall continue in effect following the Termination Date until all obligations are finally settled as contemplated by this Article 20 and (y) the provisions of this Article 20 shall in no way limit the rights and remedies which the Non-Defaulting Party may have as a result of an Event of Default, whether pursuant to Article 19 above or otherwise:

(a) If any Aron Procurement Contract does not either (i) by its terms automatically become assigned to the Company on and as of the Termination Date in a manner which releases Aron from all obligations thereunder for all periods following the Termination Date or (ii) by its terms, expire or terminate on and as of the Termination Date, then the Parties shall promptly negotiate and enter into, with each of the then existing Third Party Suppliers, assignments, assumptions and/or such other documentation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parties, pursuant to which, as of the Termination Date, (w) such Aron Procurement Contract shall be assigned to the Company or shall be terminated, (x) all rights and obligations of Aron

under each of the then outstanding Aron Procurement Contracts shall be assigned to the Company, (y) the Company shall assume all of such obligations to be paid or performed following such termination, and (z) Aron shall be released by such Third Party Suppliers and the Company from any further obligations thereunder. In connection with the assignment or reassignment of any Aron Procurement Contract, the Parties shall endeavor, in a commercially reasonable manner, to facilitate the transitioning of the supply and payment arrangements, including any change in payment terms, under the relevant Aron Procurement Contracts so as to prevent any material disruption in the supply of Crude Oil thereunder.

(b) If, pursuant to the Marketing and Sales Agreement, any sales commitments are outstanding which, by their terms, extend beyond the Termination Date, then the Parties shall promptly negotiate and enter into, with each of the purchasers thereunder, assignments, assumptions and/or such other documentation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parties, pursuant to which, as of the Termination Date, (i) such sales commitment shall be assigned (or reassigned) to the Company or shall be terminated, (ii) all rights and obligations of Aron with respect to each then outstanding sales commitment shall be assigned to the Company, (iii) the Company shall assume all of such obligations to be paid or performed following such termination, and (iv) Aron shall be released by the purchasers thereunder and the Company from any further obligations with respect to such sales commitments. In connection with the assignment or reassignment of any Aron Procurement Contract, the Parties shall endeavor, in a commercially reasonable manner, to facilitate the transitioning of the Product marketing and sales arrangements so as to prevent any material disruption in the distribution of Products from the Refinery.

(c) In the event that Aron has become a party to any other third party service contract in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any pipeline, terminalling, storage and shipping arrangement including but not limited to the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements (an “Ancillary Contract”) and such Ancillary Contract does not by its terms expire or terminate on and as of the Termination Date, then the Parties shall promptly negotiate and enter into with each service provider thereunder such instruments or other documentation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parties, pursuant to which as of the Termination Date (i) such Ancillary Contract shall be assigned to the Company or shall be terminated, (ii) all rights and obligations of Aron with respect to each then outstanding Ancillary Contract shall be assigned to the Company, (iii) the Company shall assume all of such obligations to be paid or performed following such termination, and (iv) Aron shall be released by the third party service providers thereunder and the Company from any further obligations with respect to such Ancillary Contract.

(d) The volume of Crude Oil and Products at the Included Locations shall be purchased and transferred as contemplated in the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement. The Crude Oil volumes measured by Supplier’s Inspector at the Termination Date and recorded in Supplier’s Inspector’s final inventory report shall be the “Termination Date Crude Oil Volumes” for the purposes of this Agreement and the Product volumes measured by Supplier’s Inspector at the Termination Date and recorded in Supplier’s

Inspector’s final inventory report shall be the “Termination Date Product Volumes” for purposes of this Agreement, and such Termination Date Crude Oil Volumes and Termination Date Product Volumes shall collectively be referred to as the “Termination Date Volumes.”

(e) Aron shall promptly reconcile and determine the Termination Amount pursuant to Section 20.2. The Parties shall promptly exchange all information necessary to determine the estimates and final calculations contemplated by Section 20.2.

(f) Aron shall have no further obligation to purchase and shall not purchase or pay for Crude Oil or Products, or incur any such purchase obligations on and after the Termination Date. Except as may be required for Aron to fulfill its obligations hereunder until the Termination Date or during any obligatory notice period pursuant to any Aron Procurement Contract, Aron shall not be obligated to purchase, take title to or pay for any Crude Oil or Products following the Termination Date or such earlier date as the Parties may determine in connection with the transitioning of such supply arrangements to the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Delivery Date shall occur later than the calendar day immediately preceding the Termination Date.

20.2 Termination Amount.

(a) The “Termination Amount” shall equal:

(i) Any unpaid amounts owed by the Company to Aron pursuant to the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement, plus

(ii) all unpaid amounts payable hereunder by the Company to Aron in respect of Crude Oil delivered on or prior to the Termination Date, plus

(iii) all Ancillary Costs incurred through the Termination Date that have not yet been paid or reimbursed by the Company, plus

(iv) in the case of an early termination, the amount reasonably determined by Aron as the breakage costs it incurred in connection with the termination, unwinding or redeploying of all Related Hedges as a result of such early termination, plus

(v) the aggregate amount due under Section 10.2(a), calculated as of the Termination Date with such date being the final day of the last monthly period for which such calculations are to be made under this Agreement; provided that, if such amount under Section 10.2(a) is due to Aron, then such amount will be included in this Termination Amount as a positive number and if such amount under Section 10.2(a) is due to the Company, then such amount will be included in this Termination Amount as a negative number, plus

(vi) any unpaid portion of any fee owed to Aron pursuant to Article 11; plus

(vii) any FIFO Balance Final Settlement that is determined to be due pursuant to Schedule N; provided that, if such FIFO Balance Final Settlement is due to Aron, then such amount will be included in this Termination Amount as a positive number and if such amount under Section 10.2(a) would be due to the Company, then such amount will be included in this Termination Amount as a negative number, plus

(viii) the Current Deferred Payment Amount, minus

(ix) all unpaid amounts payable hereunder by Aron to the Company in respect of Product delivered on or prior to the Termination Date, minus

(x) all unpaid amounts payable under the Marketing and Sales Agreement by Aron to the Company for services provided up to the Termination Date.

All of the foregoing amounts shall be aggregated or netted to a single liquidated amount owing from one Party to the other. If the Termination Amount is a positive number, it shall be due to Aron and if it is a negative number, the absolute value thereof shall be due to the Company.

(b) The Parties acknowledge that one or more of the components of the Termination Amount will not be able to be definitively determined by the Termination Date and therefore agree that Aron shall, in a commercially reasonable manner, estimate in good faith each of such components and use such estimated components to determine an estimate of the Termination Amount (the “Estimated Termination Amount”); provided that the Parties agree that Aron shall continue to hold the Initial Margin Amount until final settlement is completed pursuant to Section 20.2(c). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties agree that the amount due under Section 20.2(a)(i) above shall be estimated by Aron in the same manner and using the same methodology as it used in preparing the Estimated Commencement Date Value, but applying the “Step-Out Prices” as indicated in Schedule B and other price terms provided for herein with respect to the purchase of the Termination Date Volumes. Aron shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare, and provide the Company with, an initial Estimated Termination Amount, together with appropriate supporting documentation, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Termination Date. To the extent reasonably practicable, Aron shall endeavor to update its calculation of the Estimated Termination Amount by no later than 12:00 p.m. HST on the Business Day prior to the Termination Date. If Aron is able to provide such updated amount, that amount shall constitute the Estimated Termination Amount and shall be due and payable by no later than 5:00 p.m., HST on the Business Day preceding the Termination Date. Otherwise, the initial Estimated Termination Amount shall be the amount payable on the Termination Date. If the Estimated Termination Amount is a positive number, it shall be due to Aron and if it is a negative number, the absolute value thereof shall be due to the Company.

(c) On or before ten (10) Business Days following the Termination Date, Aron shall prepare, and provide the Company with, (i) a statement showing the calculation, as of the Termination Date, of the Termination Amount, (ii) a statement (the

“Termination Reconciliation Statement”) reconciling the Termination Amount with the sum of the Estimated Termination Amount pursuant to Section 20.2(b) and the Initial Margin Amount and indicating any amount remaining to be paid by one Party to the other as a result of such reconciliation. Within one (1) Business Day after receiving the Termination Reconciliation Statement and the related supporting documentation, the Parties will make any and all payments required pursuant thereto. Promptly after receiving such payment (but in any event within five (5) Business Days), Aron shall (x) cause any filing or recording of any UCC financing forms to be terminated, (y) release and terminate all Lien Documents pursuant to one or more instruments mutually acceptable to the Parties and (z) deliver, re-assign, reconvey and transfer, as applicable, to the Company any other Collateral or credit support held or maintained by Aron (including, without limitation, the remaining balance, if any, of the Initial Margin Amount after giving effect to this Article 20).

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Aron shall not have any obligation to make any payment contemplated by this Section 20.2, transfer of title to Crude Oil or Products or to otherwise cooperate in the transition matters described in Section 20.1 unless (i) the Company shall have performed its obligations under the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement and this Section 20.02 as and when required pursuant to the terms hereof and thereof, and (ii) except as otherwise agreed by the Parties, the Master Agreement and all Transactions outstanding thereunder have been terminated and all amounts due with respect to such terminated Transactions shall have been paid in full.

20.3 Transition Services. To the extent necessary to facilitate the transition to the Purchasers of the storage and transportation rights and status contemplated hereby, each Party shall take such additional actions, execute such further instruments and provide such additional assistance as the other Party may from time to time reasonably request for such purposes.

ARTICLE 21

21.2 To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law and except as specified otherwise elsewhere in this Agreement, the Company shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Aron, its Affiliates, and their directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and contractors for and against any Liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of (i) any breach by the Company of any covenant or agreement contained herein or made in connection herewith or any representation or warranty of the Company made herein or in connection herewith proving to be false or misleading, including, without limitation the Company’s obligation for payment of taxes pursuant to Section 15.1, (ii) the Company’s transportation, handling, storage, refining or disposal of any Crude Oil or the products thereof, including any conduct by the Company on behalf of or as the agent of Aron under the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements, (iii) the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations under the terminalling, pipeline and lease agreements underlying the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements, (iv) the Company’s negligence or willful misconduct, (v) any failure by the Company to comply with or observe any Applicable Law, (vi) injury, disease, or death of any person or damage to or loss of any property, fine or penalty, any of which is caused by the Company or its employees, representatives, agents or contractors in exercising any rights or performing any obligations hereunder or in connection herewith, (vii) actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Substances in connection with the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or any liability under any Environmental Law related in any way to or asserted in connection with the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby or (viii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Company, and regardless of whether Aron is a party thereto, except to the extent that any Liability arising under clause (vi), (vii) or (viii) above has resulted from the negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Aron, its Affiliates or any of their respective employees, representatives, agents or contractors.

21.3 The Parties’ obligations to defend, indemnify, and hold each other harmless under the terms of the Transaction Documents shall not vest any rights in any third party (whether a Governmental Authority or private entity), nor shall they be considered an admission of liability or responsibility for any purposes other than those enumerated in the Transaction Documents.

21.4 Each Party agrees to notify the other as soon as practicable after receiving notice of any claim or suit brought against it within the indemnities of this Agreement, shall furnish to the other the complete details within its knowledge and shall render all reasonable assistance requested by the other in the defense; provided that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder, except to the extent that the indemnifying Party is materially adversely affected by such failure. Each Party shall have the right but not the duty to participate, at its own expense, with counsel of its own selection, in the defense and settlement thereof without relieving the other of any obligations hereunder.

21.5 The Company shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Aron and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel and tax consultants for Aron) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Aron and its Affiliates in connection with the enforcement or protection of Aron’s rights under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
