At the end of the Primary Term, this Agreement shall automatically extend for up to two successive, five (5) year periods (each a “Renewal Term”), unless terminated by either Party upon Notice to the other Party no less than one hundred and eighty (180) Days prior to the expiration of the Primary Term or a Renewal Term, as applicable.

If agreed to by the Parties, the renegotiated Scheduled Fees shall be effective at the commencement of the first Renewal Term.

Section 2.02 Termination Following a Force Majeure Event. If a Force Majeure event prevents either Holdings or Company from performing its respective obligations under this Agreement for a period of more than 12 consecutive Months, this Agreement may be terminated by either Party at any time after the expiration of such 12-Month period upon at least 30 Days prior Notice to the other Party.

Section 2.03 Special Termination by Holdings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

(a)

If Holdings’s use of all or part of the Medford Spheres for the storage and handling of any NGL is restrained, enjoined, restricted or terminated by (i) any Governmental Authority, (ii) right of eminent domain or (iii) the owner of leased land, Holdings, upon being notified of such restraint, enjoinder, restriction or termination, shall notify Company promptly upon learning of the likelihood of such event and Holdings may terminate this Agreement as to the affected storage sphere and services on the effective date of such restraint, enjoinder, restriction or termination.

(b)

Holdings shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon 30 Days’ Notice to Company (i) in the event Holdings determines any testing or upgrading of the Medford Spheres is required to satisfy or comply with Law or to comply with or remedy environmental concerns, or (ii) in the event of damage or destruction to, all or a portion of the Medford Spheres, if in Holdings’s sole opinion such testing, upgrading, complying or repairing will require the expenditure of $5,000,000.00 or more to restore the Medford Spheres to normal operations.

Agreement and (ii) ten Days after receipt of Notice to terminate this Agreement in accordance with its terms, provided that Holdings may, in its sole discretion, agree in writing to extend the time for such removal. If, at the end of such period, Company has not removed all of its NGLs, then in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement, Holdings shall have the right to take possession of such NGLs and sell them at public or private sale. In the event of such a sale, Holdings shall withhold from the proceeds therefrom all amounts owed to it hereunder and all expenses of sale (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and any amounts necessary to discharge any and all liens against the NGLs). The balance of the proceeds, if any, shall be remitted to Company.

Exhibit B

Arbitration Procedure

Either Party may initiate dispute resolution procedures by sending a Notice to the other Party specifically stating the complaining Party’s Claim and by initiating binding arbitration in accordance with the Center for Public Resources Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration of Business Disputes, by three arbitrators who shall be neutral, independent, and generally knowledgeable about the type of transaction which gave rise to the dispute. The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, provided that the arbitrators shall include in their report/award a list of findings, with supporting evidentiary references, upon which they have relied in making their decision. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be Houston, Texas.

Notwithstanding anything herein and regardless of any procedures or rules of the Center for Public Resources, it is expressly agreed that the following shall apply and control over any other provision in this Agreement:

(a)

All offers, conduct, views, opinions and statements made in the course of negotiation or mediation by any of the Parties, their employees, agents, experts, attorneys, and representatives, and by any mediator, are confidential, made for compromise and settlement, protected from disclosure under Federal and State Rules of Evidence and Procedure, and inadmissible and not discoverable for any purpose, including impeachment, in litigation or legal proceedings between the Parties, and shall not be disclosed to any Person who is not an agent, employee, expert or representative of the Parties, provided that evidence otherwise discoverable or admissible is not excluded from discovery or admission as a result of presentation or use in mediation.

(b)

Except to the extent that the Parties may agree upon selection of one or more arbitrators, the Center for Public Resources shall select arbitrators from a panel reviewed by the Parties. The Parties shall be entitled to exercise peremptory strikes against one-third of the panel and may challenge other candidates for lack of neutrality or lack of qualifications. Challenges shall be resolved in accordance with Center for Public Resource rules.


(c)	The Parties shall have at least twenty (20) Days following the close of hearing within which to submit a brief (not to exceed eighteen (18) pages in length) and ten (10) Days from date of receipt of the opponent’s brief within which to respond thereto.


(d)	The Parties expressly agree that the arbitrators shall not award punitive damages, consequential damages, or attorneys’ fees (except attorneys’ fees specifically authorized by the Agreement).


(e)	The fees and expenses of any mediator or arbitrator shall be shared equally by the Parties.


(f)	The Parties may, by written agreement (signed by both Parties), alter any time deadline or location(s) for meetings.

Time is of the essence for purposes of the provisions of this Exhibit.
