Where applicable and agreed upon among the affected Parties, such Work may be provided by a third party under such third party’s contract with one Party for the benefit and account of another Party hereto, such that a contract entered into by a member of the Tesoro Group may cover Work provided for the account and benefit of a member of the Logistics Group, and vice versa. In such instances, the Party named in the applicable contract shall administer the Work being performed under the contract as a representative of the Party for whose account and benefit the Work is being performed, and the management and supervision of such Work shall be by the Party for whose account and benefit the Work is being performed, with employees responsible for such management and supervision being seconded, as otherwise provided herein. The Work must be approved by a person who has the authority delegated to approve the nature of the Work and the allocated costs and expenses of providing such items on behalf of the Party for whose account and benefit the Work is being performed, in accordance with the applicable policies and procedures of such Party. The Parties shall establish procedures
whereby the costs and expenses of providing such items are allocated to and paid by the Parties in accordance with the extent to which each Party realizes the benefit of each such item. If one Party incurs the expense for any such item that is used solely for the benefit of another Party, then the Party pays for such item shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Party who received the benefit for the costs and expenses so incurred such items. If any items benefit both the Tesoro Group and the Logistics Group, then the Group who incurs the costs and expenses associated with such items shall be entitled to reimbursement from the other Group in proportion to the benefits received by each Group from the incurrence of such costs and expenses. The Parties shall negotiate such allocations in good faith with relation to each such item at the time the reimbursement is determined.
