CRUDE OIL STORAGE SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Crude Oil Storage Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into effective as of the 1st day of February, 2009 (the ‘Effective Date”), by and between SEMCRUDE, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Operator”), and GAVILON, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Customer”). Each of Operator and Customer may also be referred to individually as a “Party” or collectively as “Parties.”

1. Exclusive Storage, Handling, and Product. In accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Operator agrees to make available exclusive storage capacity in the amounts set forth on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Leased Capacity”) at Operator’s storage facilities located in Cushing, Oklahoma (the “Leased Facilities”). The Leased Facilities will be used by Customer for storage of Light “Sweet” crude oil per the New York Mercantile Exchange’s Rule 200.12 of Light “Sweet” Crude Oil Futures Contract – Cushing, Oklahoma Delivery, or crude oil of other grades or specifications as may be mutually agreed to by Customer and Operator (“Product”). Customer shall make its own arrangements with third party carriers for the handling of the Product in and out of storage.

Operator warrants it has title to the Leased Facilities free of liens or encumbrances which now or hereafter will interfere with Operator’s use of the Leased Facilities. Operator further agrees in accordance with this Agreement to redeliver the Product as designated by Customer. Operator agrees that there will be no commingling of Product except for like grades. Operator represents and warrants that all payments of any kind and nature due for the Leased Facilities are current and there are no defaults of any nature regarding any obligations with respect to the Leased Facilities. Operator shall provide and furnish to Customer all labor, services, equipment, and facilities necessary or incidental to receive, handle, and store Product at the Leased Facilities in a safe and prompt manner and in compliance with all (including but not limited to environmental, safety, and health) applicable laws, rules, regulations, or ordinances now in existence or which may come into existence hereafter. Operator agrees to indemnify and hold Customer harmless from and against all fines, charges, and/or assessments resulting from Operator’s failure to comply with such laws and regulations.

2. Bankruptcy Court Approval. This Agreement is subject to the bankruptcy court approval in the case of In re SemCrude, L.P. et al., Jointly Administered Case No. 08-11525, pending before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Order”). This Agreement is not binding and shall be of no force or effect unless and until the Order is obtained.


3. Term of Agreement. Subject to receipt of the Order, this Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date. Storage services shall commence on February 1, 2009 and shall continue for ** years, with automatic three (3) month extensions unless terminated by either party within sixty (60) days prior to the conclusion of the applicable term (“Term”).

4. Payment and Billing. For and during the Term, Customer shall pay Operator, for the storage services, the following fees (the “Monthly Storage Fees”):

(a) For storage services for each of the months of February and March, 2009, Customer shall lease ** shell barrels of the Leased Capacity and shall pay Operator a Monthly Storage Fee of ** ($**) per shell barrel of the Leased Capacity; and

(b) For storage services for each remaining month of the Term, Customer shall lease the shell barrels of the Leased Capacity set forth on Schedule A attached hereto and shall pay Operator a Monthly Storage Fee of ** ($**) per shell barrel of Leased Capacity; and

(c) For the Term, a pump over fee equal to ** ($**) per barrel of actual volume of Product moved by Operator from the Leased Facilities to a third party connecting carrier within Cushing, Oklahoma.

Operator shall invoice Customer monthly for the foregoing fees, invoicing the Monthly Storage Fees in advance and the other fees in arrears. Such fees shall be due and payable by Customer to Operator within ten (10) days after delivery of the invoice, provided that fees for February and March are payable, if later, within two (2) days after entry of the Order. The Monthly Storage Fees shall be nonrefundable regardless of whether Customer ever actually uses the services.

Until completion of the Project (as such term is defined in the Order), Operator shall keep all Monthly Storage Fees segregated and not commingled with any other funds of Operator. Until completion of the Project, Operator may only use such funds for the specific purposes provided in the Order.

If any amounts payable by Customer to Operator under this Agreement are not paid by the due date specified herein, Customer shall pay interest on such past due amount(s) from the due date thereof until such amount(s) is paid in full at the rate equal to the lesser of the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal plus two percent (2%) or the maximum interest rate allowed by applicable law.

5. Future Storage Tanks. As part of the overall Project, Operator is also in the process of constructing new storage tanks at the Leased Facilities (the “New Tanks”). The identification numbers of the New Tanks, their capacity and the projected in-service date are set forth in Exhibit A hereto. Operator hereby agrees to give Customer a first right of refusal to lease the maximum storage capacity at New Tank numbers 2523 and 2533 (the “RFOR Tanks”) at then current market prices per shell barrel. Operator shall give Customer 60 days prior written notice of the in-service target dates for each of the RFOR Tanks. If Customer fails to notify Operator that it accepts the offer to lease the capacity of each RFOR Tank within seven (7) days of its receipt of Notice of its availability, Operator is free to lease the storage capacity of the respective RFOR Tank to another party.

(b) Measurements of crude oil delivery by Operator to Customer will be made by Operator’s delivering meters. The crude oil delivered by Operator will be the same crude oil or the same type and quality of crude oil received by Operator for the account of Customer.

(c) All measurements shall be in accordance with the latest revision of A.P.I. Standard 2500 covering the measuring, sampling, and testing of crude oil. All deductions will be made for the actual amount of suspended basic sediment, water, and other impurities.

(d) Operator shall send Customer a monthly statement showing beginning inventory, receipts, deliveries, and ending inventory.

7. Title, Relationship, and Custody. Title to Product at the Leased Facilities shall at all times remain with Customer.

Additionally, Operator agrees, for the purpose of evidencing Customer’s title to the Product, to join Customer in executing one or more financing statements as Customer may require in order that Customer might file such financing statements with proper state authorities. The execution and filing of such financing statement is to place all third parties on notice that Customer-owned Product is located at the Leased Facilities and to afford Customer protection against Operator’s creditors and shall not indicate an intention to pass title to Customer’s Product.

In the performance of this Agreement, Operator shall not be under Customer’s direction or control as to the persons engaged by Operator to assist in said performance, or as to the means and methods employed by Operator in accomplishing said performance. All employees, agents or other representatives engaged by Operator in connection with the performance of this Agreement will be of Operator’s own selection, for Operator’s own account and at Operator’s own expense, and the terms and hours of their employment and their wages or salaries shall be under Operator’s exclusive control and direction at all times.

It is further understood and agreed by the Parties hereto that Operator is and for all purposes shall be considered an independent contractor and fully and exclusively liable for (i) the payment of any and all taxes now or hereafter imposed by any governmental authority which are measured by wages, salaries, commissions or otherwise paid to persons in its employ; and (ii) any accident to persons or property that may occur on Operator’s premises for any cause whatsoever.

Customer warrants and represents that the Product tendered for storage meets the specification for Product as identified in Section 1 of this Agreement.

Operator shall not be responsible for any loss to Product whatsoever and full risk of loss, possession and control shall remain with the Customer at all times.

9. Taxes. Customer shall pay or cause to be paid all taxes, licenses, fees, charges and sums due of any nature whatsoever imposed by any federal, state or local government on Product owned by it or storage, transfer or movement thereof as covered by this Agreement. If Operator is required to pay such items, Customer shall reimburse Operator within 30 days of written invoice. Operator shall pay all franchise and property taxes assessed against the Leased Facilities including all real and personal property associated therewith.

10. Insurance. Operator shall not insure Customer’s Product. If Customer desires to insure the Product while it is in storage at the Leased Facilities, Customer will bear the cost of such insurance. Operator shall carry warehouseman legal liability insurance in an amount based on the total average daily value of all product stored at the Leased Facilities (including Gavilon’s Product along with all other companies storing product at the Warehouse) based on a continuous rolling prior thirty (30) day period. Each Party will obtain and maintain in full force and effect during the Term of this Agreement insurance coverages of the following types and amounts and with insurance companies rated not less than A-, IX by A.M. Best, or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the other Party: (a) worker’s compensation insurance complying with Applicable Law and employer’s liability insurance with limits of $1,000,000 each accident, $1,000,000 disease each employee, and $1,000,000 disease policy limit; (b) commercial or comprehensive general liability insurance on an occurrence form with a combined single limit of $1,000,000 each occurrence, and annual aggregates of $2,000,000, for bodily injury and property damage, including coverage for blanket contractual liability, broad form property damage, personal injury liability, independent contractors, products/completed operations, and sudden and accidental pollution, and, where applicable, the explosion, collapse, and underground exclusion will be deleted; (c) automobile liability insurance complying with applicable law with a combined single limit of $1,000,000 each occurrence for bodily injury and property damage to include coverage for all owned, non-owned, and hired vehicles; (d) excess or umbrella liability insurance with a combined single limit of $10,000,000 each occurrence, and annual aggregates of $10,000,000, for bodily injury and property damage covering excess of the required employer’s liability insurance, commercial or comprehensive general liability insurance, and automobile liability insurance; and (e) sudden and accidental pollution legal liability coverage in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 per occurrence, $10,000,000 aggregate, for injury to persons or damage to property resulting from any release, spillage, leak or discharge of Product from the Leased Facilities into the ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata.

After an Event of Default, the Defaulting Party shall also responsible for any other costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Non-Defaulting Party in connection with such Event of Default.
