2. The term "crude oil" as used in this agreement shall include all

by it.

temperature and deductions for impurities according to the prevailing API/ASTM
standards in effect at the time and place of delivery and the laws and
regulations prescribed by the governmental authorities having jurisdiction.
5. Seller warrants that all crude oil delivered under this agreement
will be produced and delivered in compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations; and free of any and all claims against title when received by TTTI.
6. If TTTI makes payment to the individual owners of interests in the

protect, indemnify and hold harmless TTTI from any claims for payment by any
such persons and entities.

therefor; riots; strikes; labor difficulties; action of the elements;
transportation difficulties; any subsequently enacted law or regulation having a
material adverse economic impact upon either party's ability to perform this
