The Parties intend to be strictly bound by the terms set forth in this Agreement, which sets forth fees to the Logistics Entity to be paid by the Refining Entity and requires the Logistics Entity to provide certain transportation and storage services to the Refining Entity.

(a) Minimum Throughput Commitment. During each Contract Quarter during the Term and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Refining Entity agrees that, commencing on the Effective Date, the Refining Entity will ship on the Pipelines in the aggregate, an amount of Crude Oil equal to or greater than the Minimum Throughput Commitment.

(b) Transportation Throughput Fees.

(i) The throughput fee initially applicable to transportation on the Pipelines shall be $0.40 per barrel (the “Base Throughput Fee”). Subject to Sections 2(d) and 2(j), the Refining Entity shall pay the Logistics Entity an amount equal to the Base Throughput Fee multiplied by the Actual Shipments on the Pipelines.

(ii) In addition to the Base Throughput Fee, a throughput fee shall apply to each barrel of Crude Oil transported on the Pipelines in excess of the Additional Throughput Threshold in the amount of $0.20 per barrel (the “Additional Throughput Fee” and together with the Base Throughput Fee, the “Throughput Fees”). Subject to Sections 2(d) and 2(j), the Refining Entity shall pay the Logistics Entity an amount equal to the Additional Throughput Fee multiplied by the Actual Shipments on the Pipelines in excess of the Additional Throughput Threshold.

(iii) The Base Throughput Fee and the Additional Throughput Fee shall be adjusted on July 1 of each Contract Year commencing on July 1, 2013, by an amount equal to the increase or decrease, if any, in the FERC Oil Pipeline Index; provided, however, that no Throughput Fee shall be decreased below the applicable initial Throughput Fee provided in this Section 2(b). If the FERC Oil Pipeline Index is no longer published, the Logistics Entity and the Refining Entity shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a new index that gives comparable protection against inflation and the same method of adjustment for increases or decreases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases or decreases in the Throughput Fees. If the Refining Entity and the Logistics Entity are unable to agree, a new index will be determined by arbitration in accordance with Section 13(i) and the same method of adjustment for increases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases in the Throughput Fees.

- 6 -

(iv) During the Term of this Agreement, if new laws or regulations are enacted that require the Logistics Entity to make substantial and unanticipated capital expenditures (other than maintenance capital expenditures) with respect to either of the Pipelines or the Tankage, the Parties will renegotiate one or both of the Throughput Fees in good faith in order to compensate the Logistics Entity on account of such incremental capital costs. If the Refining Entity and the Logistics Entity are unable to agree upon a renegotiated Throughput Fee, the renegotiated Throughput Fee will be determined by arbitration in accordance with Section 13(i).

(c) Storage Fee. During the Term of this Agreement, the Refining Entity shall pay the Logistics Entity a fee associated with the Tankage initially in the amount of $250,000 per month in exchange for the Logistics Entity making available to the Refining Entity 600,000 barrels of Crude Oil storage capacity in the Tankage (the “Storage Fee”). The Crude Oil storage capacity provided to the Refining Entity may be temporarily reduced by the Logistics Entity (without any adjustment to the Storage Fee) as a result of repairs and/or maintenance on storage tanks that reduce the storage capacity available in the Tankage, so long as the reduced storage capacity will not result in the inability of the Logistics Entity to provide the Minimum Storage Capacity. The amount of the Storage Fee shall be adjusted on July 1 of each Contract Year commencing on July 1, 2013, by an amount equal to the increase or decrease, if any, in the FERC Oil Pipeline Index, provided, however, that the Storage Fee shall not be decreased below the initial Storage Fee provided in this Section 2(c). If the FERC Oil Pipeline Index is no longer published, the Refining Entity and the Logistics Entity shall negotiate in good faith to agree an a new index that gives comparable protection against inflation and the same method of adjustment for increases or decreases in the new index shall be used to calculate increases or decreases in the Storage Fee. If the Refining Entity and the Logistics Entity are unable to agree upon a new index, the new index will be determined by arbitration in accordance with Section 13(i). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Effective Date is any date other than the first day of a calendar month, then the Storage Fee for the initial contract month shall be prorated based upon the number of days remaining in such month.

(d) Shortfall. If, for any Contract Quarter, Actual Shipments are less than the Minimum Throughput Commitment, then the Refining Entity shall pay the Logistics Entity an amount (a “Shortfall Payment”) equal to the difference between (i) the Minimum Throughput Commitment multiplied by the Base Throughput Fee and (ii) the aggregate Throughput Fees for such Contract Quarter payable under Section 2(b)(i) and Section 2(b)(ii). The Parties acknowledge and agree that there shall be no carry-over of deficiency volumes with respect to the Minimum Throughput Commitment and the payment by the Refining Entity of the Shortfall Payment shall relieve the Refining Entity of any obligation to meet such Minimum Throughput Commitment for the relevant Contract Quarter. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that there shall not be any carry-over of volumes in excess of the Minimum Throughput Commitment to any subsequent Contract Quarter.

- 7 -

(e) Operating and Capital Expenses. Except as provided in the Omnibus Agreement, during the Term and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 2(l), the Logistics Entity will bear one hundred percent (100%) of all operating and capital expenses incurred in its operation of the Pipelines and the Tankage. For avoidance of doubt, such operating expenses shall include all tank inspections (including API 653 inspections) conducted after the Effective Date on the tanks included within the Tankage, including any repairs or tests or consequential remediation that may be required to be made to such Tankage as a result of any discovery made during such inspections.

(f) Volumetric Gains and Losses. Title to the Crude Oil tendered by or on behalf of the Refining Entity for transportation or storage hereunder will remain with the Refining Entity at all times. The Refining Entity shall, during each Contract Quarter, (i) be entitled to all volumetric gains in the Pipelines and the Tankage and (ii) be responsible for all volumetric losses in the Pipelines and the Tankage up to a maximum of 0.25%. The Logistics Entity shall be responsible for all volumetric losses in excess of 0.25% in the Pipelines and the Tankage during each Contract Quarter.

(g) Contamination. The Logistics Entity shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid contamination of the Refining Entity’s Crude Oil with any dissimilar Crude Oil and shall be liable to the Refining Entity for any change in the quality of the Crude Oil transported on the Pipelines or stored in the Tankage, in each case caused by the Logistics Entity or its Affiliates or any third-party use of the Pipelines or the Tankage, as applicable. If the Logistics Entity determines in good faith that the Refining Entity has delivered to the Pipelines or the Tankage Crude Oil that has been contaminated by the existence of and/or excess amounts of substances foreign to Crude Oil which could cause harm to users of the contaminated Crude Oil, the Pipelines, the Tankage or the Logistics Entity, the Refining Entity shall be responsible for removing the Refining Entity’s contaminated Crude Oil from the Pipelines or the Tankage, as applicable. Any liability or expense associated with the contamination of the Refining Entity’s Crude Oil caused by the Refining Entity or its Affiliates shall be borne by the Refining Entity, including any regulatory or judicial proceeding arising out of or relating to such contamination.

(h) Obligations of the Logistics Entity. During the Term and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Logistics Entity agrees to own or lease and operate and maintain in accordance with Section 8(b) the assets necessary to accept deliveries from the Refining Entity and to provide the services required under this Agreement.

(i) Taxes. The Refining Entity will pay all taxes, import duties, license fees and other charges by any Governmental Authority levied on or with respect to the Crude Oil delivered by the Refining Entity for transportation by the Logistics Entity in the Pipelines including, but not limited to, any state gross receipts and compensating (use) taxes; provided, however, that the Refining Entity shall not be liable hereunder for taxes (including ad valorem taxes) assessed against the Logistics Entity based on the Logistics Entity’s income or ownership of the Pipelines and Tankage. Should any Party be required to pay or collect any taxes, duties, charges and or assessments pursuant to any federal, state, county or municipal law or authority now in effect or hereafter to become effective which are payable by the other Party pursuant to this Section 2(i), the proper Party shall promptly reimburse the other Party therefor.

(j) Invoicing and Timing of Payments. The Logistics Entity shall invoice the Refining Entity monthly (or in the case of Shortfall Payments, quarterly), including for an estimated amount of Additional Throughput Fees calculated on an average basis for such month (with a true up in the invoice for the final month of each Contract Quarter for any overpayments or underpayments of Additional Throughput Fees during such Contract Quarter). The Refining Entity will make payments to the Logistics Entity by electronic payment with immediately available funds on a monthly (or in the case of Shortfall Payments, quarterly) basis during the Term with respect to services rendered by the Logistics Entity under this Agreement in the prior month (or, in the case of Shortfall Payments, Contract Quarter) upon the later of (i) ten (10) days after its receipt of such invoice and (ii) thirty (30) days following the end of the calendar month (or in the case of Shortfall Payments, Calendar Quarter) during which the invoiced services were performed. Any past due payments owed by the Refining Entity to the Logistics Entity shall accrue interest, payable on demand, at the Prime Rate from the due date of the payment through the actual date of payment. Payment of any Throughput Fees or Shortfall Payment pursuant to this Section 2 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Logistics Entity. If any such fee shall be due and payable on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be due and payable on the next succeeding Business Day.

(k) Change in Pipelines’ Direction; Product Service or Origination and Destination. Without the Refining Entity’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, the Logistics Entity shall not (i) reverse the direction of any of the Pipelines; (ii) change, alter or modify the product service of any of the Pipeline operations; or (iii) change, alter or modify the origination or destination of any of the Pipeline operations; provided, however, that the Logistics Entity may take any necessary emergency action to prevent or remedy a release of Crude Oil from either of the Pipelines without obtaining the consent required by this Section 2(k). The Refining Entity may request that the Logistics Entity reverse the direction of either of the Pipelines, and the Logistics Entity shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether to complete the proposed reversal, considering, among other things, whether (i) the Refining Entity agrees to bear, through adjustments to the Throughput Fees or otherwise, (1) the additional costs and expenses incurred by the Logistics Entity as a result of such change in direction (both to reverse and re-reverse) and (2) all costs arising out of the Logistics Entity’s inability to perform under any transportation service contract due to the reversal of the direction of either of the Pipelines and (ii) the Parties agree to adjustment, if appropriate based on the operational capabilities of the reconfigured Pipelines, of the Minimum Throughput Capacity.

(l) Capital Improvements. During the term of this Agreement, the Refining Entity shall be entitled to designate Capital Improvements to be made to the Pipelines and the Tankage. The following provisions shall set forth the procedures pursuant to which Capital Improvements designated by the Refining Entity may be constructed:

ability to perform the services it is required to perform under this Agreement, in which case, as applicable, the Storage Fees shall only be paid to the extent the Refining Entity utilizes the Tankage for the storage of its Crude Oil during the applicable month and instead of Shortfall Payments, Throughput Fees shall only be paid as provided under (i)(1) above, and (ii) from and after the third anniversary of the Effective Date, the Refining Entity shall be required to continue to make payments (1) for the Throughput Fees for volumes actually delivered under this Agreement and (2) for the Storage Fee to the extent the Refining Entity utilizes the Tankage for the storage of its Crude Oil during the applicable month. The Force Majeure Party shall identify in such Force Majeure Notice the approximate length of time that it believes in good faith such Force Majeure event shall continue (the “Force Majeure Period”). The Refining Entity shall be required to pay any amounts accrued and due under this Agreement at the time of the Force Majeure event. The cause of the Force Majeure event shall so far as possible be remedied with all reasonable dispatch, except that neither Party shall be compelled to resolve any strikes, lockouts or other industrial disputes other than as it shall determine to be in its best interests. Prior to the third anniversary of the Effective Date, any suspension of the obligations of the Parties under this Section 3(a) as a result of a Force Majeure event that adversely affects the Logistics Entity’s ability to perform the services it is required to perform under this Agreement shall extend the Term for the same period of time as such Force Majeure event continues (up to a maximum of one year) unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 3(b).

(b) If the Force Majeure Party advises in any Force Majeure Notice that it reasonably believes in good faith that the Force Majeure Period shall continue for more than twelve (12) consecutive months beyond the third anniversary of the Effective Date, then at any time after the delivery of such Force Majeure Notice, either Party may deliver to the other Party a notice of termination (a “Termination Notice”), which Termination Notice shall become effective not earlier than twelve (12) months after the later to occur of (i) the delivery of the Termination Notice and (ii) the third anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, however, that such Termination Notice shall be deemed cancelled and of no effect if the Force Majeure Period ends before the Termination Notice becomes effective; provided, further, that upon the cancellation of any Termination Notice, the Parties’ respective obligations hereunder shall resume as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, and the Term shall be extended by the same period of time as is required for the Parties to resume such obligations. After the third anniversary of the Effective Date and following delivery of a Termination Notice the Logistics Entity may terminate this Agreement, to the extent affected by the Force Majeure event, upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Refining Entity in order to enter into an agreement to provide any third party the services provided to the Refining Entity under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Logistics Entity shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement for so long as the Refining Entity continues to make Shortfall Payments.

Section 4. Effectiveness and Term.

(a) This Agreement shall have an initial term of five (5) years, commencing on the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”). Thereafter, the Refining Entity shall have a unilateral option to extend this Agreement for two additional five (5) year periods on the same terms and conditions set forth herein (each, a “Renewal Term”). The Initial Term and any Renewal Terms are sometimes referred to collectively herein as the “Term.” In order to exercise its option to extend this Agreement for a Renewal Term, the Refining Entity shall notify the Logistics Entity in writing not more than twenty-four (24) months and not less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, as applicable.

- 13 -

(b) This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time upon written notice by either Party in the event the other Party commits a material breach of or materially defaults under the terms of this Agreement, and such breach or default is not cured (or a plan to cure such breach or default reasonably satisfactory to the non-breaching or non-defaulting Party has been adopted and is being diligently pursued by the breaching or defaulting Party) within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt by the breaching Party of written notice from the non-breaching Party of such breach or default.

Section 5. Right to Enter into a New Agreement.

In the event that the Refining Entity fails to exercise its option to extend this Agreement for any Renewal Term, the Logistics Entity shall have the right to negotiate to enter into one or more new pipelines and tankage agreements with one or more third parties to begin after the date of termination, provided that during the period from the date of the Refining Entity’s failure to provide written notice pursuant to Section 4 to the date of termination of this Agreement, the Refining Entity will have the right to enter into a new pipelines and tankage agreement with the Logistics Entity on commercial terms that substantially match the terms upon which the Logistics Entity proposes to enter into an agreement with a third party for similar services with respect to all or a material portion of the Pipelines and the Tankage. In such circumstances, the Logistics Entity shall give the Refining Entity forty-five (45) days prior written notice of any proposed new pipelines and tankage agreement with a third party, and such notice shall inform the Refining Entity of the fee schedules, tariffs, duration and any other terms of the proposed third party agreement and the Refining Entity shall have forty-five (45) days following receipt of such notice to agree to the terms specified in the notice or the Refining Entity shall lose the rights specified by this Section 5 with respect to the assets that are the subject of such notice.

Section 7. Deficiency Payments.

(a) As soon as practicable following the end of each calendar month under this Agreement, the Logistics Entity shall deliver to the Refining Entity a written notice (the “Deficiency Notice”) detailing any failure of the Refining Entity to meet its obligations under Section 2(a), Section 2(b)(i), Section 2(b)(ii), Section 2(c), Section 2(d), Section 2(i), Section 2(k), Section 2(l) or Section 8(c) of this Agreement. The Deficiency Notice shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the nature of any deficiency and (ii) specify the approximate dollar amount that the Logistics Entity believes would have been paid by the Refining Entity to the Logistics Entity if the Refining Entity had complied with its obligations under Section 2(a), Section 2(b)(i),

- 15 -

Section 2(b)(ii), Section 2(c), Section 2(d), Section 2(h), Section 2(i), Section 2(k), Section 2(l) and Section 8(c) of this Agreement (the “Deficiency Payment”). The Refining Entity shall pay the Deficiency Payment to the Logistics Entity upon the later of: (i) ten (10) days after its receipt of the Deficiency Notice and (ii) thirty (30) days following the end of the calendar month during which the Deficiency Notice was delivered.

(b) If the Refining Entity disagrees with the Deficiency Notice, then, following the payment of the undisputed portion of the Deficiency Payment to the Logistics Entity, a senior officer of the Refining Entity and a senior officer of the Logistics Entity shall meet or communicate by telephone at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary and shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to matters specified in the Deficiency Notice. If such differences are not resolved within thirty (30) days following the payment of any Deficiency Payment, the Refining Entity and the Logistics Entity shall, within forty-five (45) days following the payment of such Deficiency Payment, submit any and all matters which remain in dispute and which were properly included in the Deficiency Notice to arbitration in accordance with Section 13. During the 60-day period following the receipt of the Deficiency Notice, the Refining Entity shall have the right to inspect and audit the working papers of the Logistics Entity relating to such Deficiency Payment.

(c) If it is determined by arbitration in accordance with Section 13 that the Refining Entity was required to make any or all of the disputed portion of the Deficiency Payment, the Refining Entity shall promptly pay to the Logistics Entity such amount, together with interest thereon from the dated provided in the last sentence of Section 7(a) at the Prime Rate, in immediately available funds.

Section 8. Capabilities of Assets.

(a) Interruption of Service. The Logistics Entity shall use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize the interruption of service on the Pipelines or at the Tankage and shall use its best efforts to minimize the impact of any such interruption on the Refining Entity. The Logistics Entity shall inform the Refining Entity at least 60 days in advance (or promptly, in the case of an unplanned interruption) of any anticipated partial or complete interruption of service (i) on any Pipeline or (ii) of the Tankage, including relevant information about the nature, extent, cause and expected duration of the interruption and the actions the Logistics Entity is taking to resume full operations, provided that the Logistics Entity shall not have any liability for any failure to notify, or delay in notifying, the Refining Entity of any such matters except to the extent the Refining Entity has been materially damaged by such failure or delay.

(b) Maintenance and Repair Standards. Subject to Force Majeure and interruptions for routine repair and maintenance consistent with industry standards, the Logistics Entity shall maintain (i) the Pipelines with sufficient aggregate capacity to throughput a volume of Crude Oil at least equal to the Minimum Throughput Capacity and (ii) the Tankage with a capacity sufficient to store a volume of Crude Oil at least equal to the Minimum Storage Capacity. The Logistics Entity’s obligations may be temporarily suspended during the occurrence of, and for the entire duration of, a Force Majeure or interruptions for routine repair and maintenance consistent with industry standards that prevent the Logistics Entity from providing the Minimum

- 16 -

Throughput Capacity or storing the Minimum Storage Capacity. To the extent the Refining Entity is prevented for 30 or more days in any Contract Year from throughputting volumes equal to the full Minimum Throughput Capacity or terminalling volumes equal to the Minimum Storage Capacity for reasons of Force Majeure or other interruption of service affecting the facilities or assets of the Logistics Entity, then the Refining Entity’s Minimum Throughput Commitment shall be proportionately reduced to the extent of the difference between the Minimum Throughput Capacity and the amount that the Logistics Entity can effectively throughput in the Pipelines (prorated for the portion of the Contract Quarter during which the Minimum Throughput Capacity was unavailable), regardless of whether actual throughput prior to the reduction was below the Minimum Throughput Commitment, and/or its Storage Fee shall be reduced by an amount of $0.4167 per barrel (which amount shall be adjusted in accordance with the adjustments to the Storage Fee provided for in Sections 2(c), (k) and (l) above, if applicable, and prorated for the portion of the applicable month during which such storage was unavailable) for each barrel less than the Minimum Storage Capacity that the Logistics Entity is unable to terminal at the Tankage regardless of whether the Refining Entity actually used such storage capacity. At such time as the Logistics Entity is capable of throughputting volumes equal to the full Minimum Throughput Capacity or terminalling volumes equal to the Minimum Storage Capacity, as applicable, the Refining Entity’s obligation to throughput the full Minimum Throughput Commitment and to pay the full Storage Fee shall be restored. If for any reason, including, without limitation, a Force Majeure event, the throughput of the Pipelines or storage capacity of the Tankage should fall below the Minimum Throughput Capacity or the Minimum Storage Capacity, respectively, then with due diligence and dispatch, the Logistics Entity shall make repairs to the Pipelines and/or the Tankage to restore the capacity of the Pipelines to that required for throughput of the Minimum Throughput Capacity and/or the Tankage to that required for terminalling of the Minimum Storage Capacity (“Restoration”). Except as provided below in Section 8(c), all of such Restoration shall be at the Logistics Entity’s cost and expense, unless the damage creating the need for such repairs was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Refining Entity, its employees, agents or customers.

(c) Capacity Resolution. In the event of the failure of the Logistics Entity to maintain (i) the Pipelines with sufficient capacity to throughput the Minimum Throughput Capacity or (ii) the Tankage with a capacity sufficient to terminal a volume of Crude Oil at least equal to the Minimum Storage Capacity, then either Party shall have the right to call a meeting between executives of both Parties by providing at least two (2) Business Days’ advance written notice. Any such meeting shall be held at a mutually agreeable location and will be attended by executives of both Parties each having sufficient authority to commit his or her respective Party to a Capacity Resolution (hereinafter defined). At the meeting, the Parties will negotiate in good faith with the objective of reaching a joint resolution for the Restoration which will, among other things, specify steps to be taken by the Logistics Entity to fully accomplish the Restoration and the deadlines by which the Restoration must be completed (the “Capacity Resolution”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Capacity Resolution shall set forth an agreed upon time schedule for the Restoration activities. Such time schedule shall be reasonable under the circumstances, consistent with customary pipeline transportation and terminal industry standards and shall take into consideration the Logistic Entity’s economic considerations relating to costs of the repairs and the Refining Entity’s requirements concerning its refining and marketing operations. The Logistics Entity shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to provide storage and throughput of the Refining Entity’s Crude Oil, to the extent the Pipelines

- 17 -

and Tankage have capability of doing so, during the period before Restoration is completed. In the event that the Refining Entity’s economic considerations justify incurring additional costs to complete the Restoration in a more expedited manner than the time schedule determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Refining Entity may require the Logistics Entity to expedite the Restoration to the extent reasonably possible, subject to the Refining Entity’s payment, in advance, of the estimated incremental costs to be incurred as a result of the expedited time schedule. In the event the Parties agree to an expedited Restoration plan wherein the Refining Entity agrees to fund a portion of the Restoration cost, then neither Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 3(b) above so long as such Restoration is completed with due diligence and dispatch, and the Refining Entity shall pay its portion of the Restoration Cost to the Logistics Entity in advance based on a good faith estimate based on reasonable engineering standards. Upon completion, the Refining Entity shall pay the difference between the actual portion of Restoration costs to be paid by the Refining Entity pursuant to this Section 8(c) and the estimated amount paid under the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Logistics Entity’s invoice therefor, or, if appropriate, the Logistics Entity shall pay the Refining Entity the excess of the estimate paid by the Refining Entity over the Logistics Entity’s actual costs as previously described within thirty (30) days after completion of the Restoration.

Section 9. Suspension of Refinery Operations

(a) From and after the second anniversary of the Effective Date, in the event that the Refining Entity decides to permanently or indefinitely suspend refining operations at the Refinery for a period that shall continue for at least twelve (12) consecutive months, the Refining Entity may provide written notice to the Logistics Entity of the Refining Entity’s intent to terminate this Agreement (the “Suspension Notice”). Such Suspension Notice shall be sent at any time (but not prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date) after the Refining Entity has notified the Logistics Entity of such suspension and, upon the expiration of the period of twelve (12) months (which may run concurrently with the twelve (12) month period described in the immediately preceding sentence) following the date such notice is sent (the “Notice Period”), this Agreement shall terminate. If the Refining Entity notifies the Logistics Entity, more than two months prior to the expiration of the Notice Period, of its intent to resume operations at the Refinery, then the Suspension Notice shall be deemed revoked and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such Suspension Notice had never been delivered. During the Notice Period, the Refining Entity shall remain liable for Deficiency Payments. Subject to Section 9(b), during the Notice Period, the Logistics Entity may terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Refining entity in order to enter into an agreement to provide any third party the services provided to the Refining Entity under this Agreement.

(b) If refining operations at the Refinery are suspended for any reason (including refinery turnaround operations and other scheduled maintenance), then the Refining Entity shall remain liable for Deficiency Payments under this Agreement for the duration of the suspension, unless and until this Agreement is terminated as provided above. The Refining Entity shall provide at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any suspension of operations at the Refinery due to a planned turnaround or scheduled maintenance, provided that the Refining Entity shall not have any liability for any failure to notify, or delay in notifying, the Logistics Entity of any such suspension except to the extent the Logistics Entity has been materially damaged by such failure or delay.

- 18 -

(c) In the event the operations of the Refinery are suspended under this Section 9 or as a result of a Force Majeure event, the Logistics Entity shall have the right to provide transportation and storage services to third parties on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2(q).

Section 10. Regulatory Matters

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

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

(c) If during the Term, the Logistics Entity is required, under Applicable Law, to file one or more tariffs with any Governmental Authority, in order to provide the services provided under this Agreement, the Refining Entity hereby agrees that, if the services to be provided under such tariff or tariffs is provided in conformance with this Agreement, including but not limited to the rates provided hereunder, the Refining Entity will not oppose, or assist any other party in opposing, the filing of such tariff or tariffs.

Section 11. Indemnification

(a) The Logistics Entity shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Refining Entity, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents, contractors, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Refining Indemnitees”) from and against any Liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of (i) any breach by the Logistics Entity of any covenant or agreement contained herein or made in connection herewith or any representation or warranty of the Logistics Entity made herein or in connection herewith proving to be false or misleading, (ii) any failure by the Logistics Entity, its Affiliates or any of their respective employees, representatives, agents or contractors to comply with or observe any Applicable Law, or (iii) injury, disease, or death of any Person or damage to or loss of any

- 19 -

property, fine or penalty, any of which is caused by the Logistics Entity, its Affiliates or any of their respective employees, representatives, agents or contractors in the exercise of any of the rights granted hereunder or the handling, storage, transportation or disposal of any Crude Oil hereunder, except to the extent that such injury, disease, death, or damage to or loss of property was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Refining Indemnitees, their Affiliates or any of their respective employees, representatives, agents or contractors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Logistics Entity’s liability to the Refining Indemnitees pursuant to this Section 11(a) shall be net of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Refining Indemnitees or any of their respective Affiliates from any third Person with respect to or on account of the damage or injury which is the subject of the indemnification claim. The Refining Entity agrees that it shall, and shall cause the other Refining Indemnitees to, (i) use all commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the collection of all insurance proceeds to which any of the Refining Indemnitees are entitled with respect to or on account of any such damage or injury, (ii) notify the Logistics Entity of all potential claims against any third Person for any such insurance proceeds, and (iii) keep the Logistics Entity fully informed of the efforts of the Refining Indemnitees in pursuing collection of such insurance proceeds.

(b) The Refining Entity shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Logistics Entity, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents, contractors, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Logistics Indemnitees”) from and against any Liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of (i) any breach by the Refining Entity of any covenant or agreement contained herein or made in connection herewith or any representation or warranty of the Refining Entity made herein or in connection herewith proving to be false or misleading, (ii) any failure by the Refining Entity, its Affiliates or any of their respective employees, representatives, agents or contractors to comply with or observe any Applicable Law, or (iii) 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 Refining Entity, its Affiliates or any of their respective employees, representatives, agents or contractors in the exercise of any of the rights granted hereunder or the handling, storage, transportation or disposal of any Crude Oil hereunder, except to the extent that such injury, disease, death, or damage to or loss of property was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Logistics Indemnitees, their Affiliates or any of their respective employees, representatives, agents or contractors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Refining Entity’s liability to the Logistics Indemnitees pursuant to this Section 11(b) shall be net of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Logistics Indemnitees or any of their respective Affiliates from any third Person with respect to or on account of the damage or injury which is the subject of the indemnification claim. The Logistics Entity agrees that it shall, and shall cause the other Logistics Indemnitees to, (i) use all commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the collection of all insurance proceeds to which any of the Logistics Indemnitees are entitled with respect to or on account of any such damage or injury, (ii) notify the Refining Entity of all potential claims against any third Person for any such insurance proceeds, and (iii) keep the Refining Entity fully informed of the efforts of the Logistics Indemnitees in pursuing collection of such insurance proceeds.

(c) THE FOREGOING INDEMNITIES ARE INTENDED TO BE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST THE PARTIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXPRESS TERMS AND SCOPE THEREOF NOTWITHSTANDING ANY EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE RULE OR ANY SIMILAR DIRECTIVE THAT WOULD PROHIBIT OR OTHERWISE LIMIT INDEMNITIES

- 20 -

BECAUSE OF THE SOLE, CONCURRENT, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR FAULT OF ANY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES (EXCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF SECTION 11(a)(iii) AND SECTION 11(b)(iii), GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT).

Section 12. Limitation on Liability

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither Party shall be liable or responsible to the other Party or such other Party’s affiliated Persons for any consequential, punitive, special, incidental or exemplary damages, or for loss of profits or revenues (collectively referred to as “Special Damages”) incurred by such Party or its affiliated Persons that arise out of or relate to this Agreement, regardless of whether any such claim arises under or results from contract, tort, or strict liability; provided that the foregoing limitation is not intended and shall not affect Special Damages imposed in favor of unaffiliated Persons that are not Parties to this Agreement.

Section 13. Miscellaneous.

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

(b) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the Parties in connection therewith.

(i) The Refining Entity shall not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the Logistics Entity’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that (1) the Refining Entity may assign this Agreement without the Logistics Entity’s consent in connection with a sale by the Refining Entity of all or substantially all of the Refinery, including by merger, equity sale, asset sale or otherwise, so long as the transferee: (A) agrees to assume all of the Refining Entity’s obligations under this Agreement and (B) is financially and operationally capable of fulfilling the terms of this Agreement, which determination shall be made by the Refining Entity in its reasonable judgment; and (2) the Refining Entity shall be permitted to make a collateral assignment of this Agreement solely to secure financing for Delek US and its Affiliates.

- 21 -

(ii) The Logistics Entity shall not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Refining Entity, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that (1) the Logistics Entity may assign this Agreement without such consent in connection with a sale by the Logistics Entity of all or substantially all of the Pipelines and Tankage, including by merger, equity sale, asset sale or otherwise, so long as the transferee: (A) agrees to assume all of the Logistics Entity’s obligations under this Agreement; (B) is financially and operationally capable of fulfilling the terms of this Agreement, which determination shall be made by the Logistics Entity in its reasonable judgment; and (C) is not a competitor of the Refining Entity, as determined by the Refining Entity in good faith; and (2) the Logistics Entity shall be permitted to make a collateral assignment of this Agreement solely to secure financing for the Partnership and its Affiliates.

(iii) Any assignment that is not undertaken in accordance with the provisions set forth above shall be null and void ab initio. A Party making any assignment shall promptly notify the other Party of such assignment, regardless of whether consent is required.

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

(v) The Parties’ obligations hereunder shall not terminate in connection with a Partnership Change of Control; provided, however, that in the case of a Partnership Change of Control, the Refining Entity shall have the option to extend the Term of this Agreement as provided in Section 4, without regard to the notice periods provided in the fourth sentence of Section 4(a). The Logistics Entity shall provide the Refining Entity with notice of any Partnership Change of Control at least sixty (60) days prior to the effective date thereof.

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

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

(f) No Third Party Beneficiaries. It is expressly understood that the provisions of this Agreement do not impart enforceable rights in anyone who is not a Party or successor or permitted assignee of a Party.

- 22 -

(g) Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of Texas, excluding any conflicts-of-law rule or principle that might refer the construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the laws of another state.

(h) Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each signatory Party hereto agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments and to perform such additional acts as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, carry out and perform all of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and all such transactions.

(i) Arbitration Provision. Any and all Arbitrable Disputes shall be resolved through the use of binding arbitration using three arbitrators, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as supplemented to the extent necessary to determine any procedural appeal questions by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code). If there is any inconsistency between this Section 13(i) and the Commercial Arbitration Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of this Section 13(i) will control the rights and obligations of the Parties. Arbitration must be initiated within the time limits set forth in this Agreement, or if no such limits apply, then within a reasonable time or the time period allowed by the applicable statute of limitations. Arbitration may be initiated by a Party (“Claimant”) serving written notice on the other Party (“Respondent”) that the Claimant elects to refer the Arbitrable Dispute to binding arbitration. Claimant’s notice initiating binding arbitration must identify the arbitrator Claimant has appointed. The Respondent shall respond to Claimant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Claimant’s notice, identifying the arbitrator Respondent has appointed. If the Respondent fails for any reason to name an arbitrator within the 30-day period, Claimant shall petition the American Arbitration Association for appointment of an arbitrator for Respondent’s account. The two arbitrators so chosen shall select a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the second arbitrator has been appointed. The Claimant will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it, and the Respondent will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it. The costs of petitioning for the appointment of an arbitrator, if any, shall be paid by Respondent. The Claimant and Respondent will each pay one-half of the compensation and expenses of the third arbitrator. All arbitrators must (i) be neutral parties who have never been officers, directors or employees of the Refining Entity, the Logistics Entity or any of their Affiliates and (ii) have not less than seven (7) years experience in the energy industry. The hearing will be conducted in Houston, Texas and commence within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third arbitrator. The Refining Entity, the Logistics Entity and the arbitrators shall proceed diligently and in good faith in order that the award may be made as promptly as possible. Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the decision of the arbitrators will be binding on and non-appealable by the Parties hereto. The arbitrators shall have no right to grant or award Special Damages.

(j) Confidentiality.

(i) Obligations. Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to retain the other Party’s Confidential Information in confidence and not disclose the same to any third party nor use the same, except as authorized by the disclosing Party in writing or as expressly permitted in this Section 13(j). Each Party further agrees to take the same care with the other Party’s Confidential Information as it does with its own, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care.

- 23 -

(ii) Required Disclosure. Notwithstanding Section 13(j)(i) above, if the receiving Party becomes legally compelled to disclose the Confidential Information by a court, Governmental Authority or Applicable Law, including the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or is required to disclose pursuant to the rules and regulations of any national securities exchange upon which the receiving Party or its parent entity is listed, any of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the receiving Party shall promptly advise the disclosing Party of such requirement to disclose Confidential Information as soon as the receiving Party becomes aware that such a requirement to disclose might become effective, in order that, where possible, the disclosing Party may seek a protective order or such other remedy as the disclosing Party may consider appropriate in the circumstances.
