From and after the Third Restatement Effective Date, the Company may endeavor to negotiate and implement designations and other binding contractual arrangements, in form and substance satisfactory to Aron, pursuant to which the Company may transfer and assign to Aron the Company’s (or its Affiliates’) right to use any Available Storage or Transportation Arrangement that has not previously been included as an Included Location or such other storage or transportation facility as may hereafter be identified by the Company; provided that (i) upon and concurrently with implementing any such assignment, designation or arrangement, any such Available Storage or Transportation Arrangement shall be added to the appropriate Schedule hereto as an additional Included Location, as applicable, and such assignment, designation or arrangement shall constitute a Required Storage and Transportation Arrangement hereunder, and the Company represents and confirms that, in connection with the execution of the Supplemental Agreement, the Company provided to Aron the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements relating to the Included Supplemental Facilities; (ii) to the extent requested by Aron, the Company shall amend the Inventory Sales Agreement and any other applicable Transaction Document to include any inventory transferred to Aron as a result of such assignment, designation or arrangement; and (iii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the addition of an Included Location shall be subject to satisfaction of Aron’s Policies and Procedures (as defined in Section 13.4(a) below), which shall be applied in a nondiscriminatory manner as provided in Section 13.4(b) (i) below. In addition, if the relevant storage or transportation facility

fails to satisfy Aron’s Policies and Procedures as a result of Aron’s Policies and Procedures exceeding the standards or requirements imposed under Applicable Law or good and prudent industry practice, then, upon the Company’s request, Aron shall consult with the Company in good faith to determine whether based on further information provided by the Company such storage or transportation facility complies with Aron’s Policies and Procedures and/or whether additional actions or procedures can be taken or implemented so that, as a result, such storage or transportation facility would comply with Aron’s Policies and Procedures and, based on such further information and/or the implementation of such additional actions or procedures, Aron will from time to time reconsider whether such storage or transportation facility satisfies clause (iii) above.

2.4 UCC Filings.

(a) From and after the Third Restatement Effective Date, the Company will from time to time cooperate with Aron to cause to be prepared, executed and filed, in such jurisdictions as Aron shall deem necessary or appropriate, UCC-1 financing statements reflecting (i) Aron as owner of all Crude Oil and Products in the Storage Facilities and the Included Locations and (ii) Aron as a secured party with respect to any Collateral to perfect Aron’s security interest under the Lien Documents. The Company shall execute and deliver to Aron, and the Company hereby authorizes Aron to file (with or without the Company’s signature), at any time and from time to time, all such financing statements, amendments to financing statements, continuation financing statements, termination statements, relating to such Crude Oil, Products, and Collateral and other documents and instruments, all in form satisfactory to Aron, as Aron may request, to confirm Aron’s ownership of such Crude Oil and Products, or perfected lien on such Collateral and to otherwise accomplish the purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company ratifies and authorizes the filing by Aron of any financing statements filed prior to the Third Restatement Effective Date.

5.1 Sale of Crude Oil. On and after the Third Restatement Effective Date through the end of the Term, and subject to (a) Aron’s ability to procure Crude Oil in accordance with the terms hereof, (b) its receipt of Crude Oil under Procurement Contracts and (c) the Company’s maintenance of the Base Agreements and Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements and compliance with the terms and conditions hereof, Aron agrees to sell and deliver to the Company, and the Company agrees to purchase and receive from Aron, Crude Oil as set forth herein. Aron shall, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, have the right to be the exclusive supplier of Crude

Oil to the Refinery and all Crude Oil supplied under this Agreement shall be solely for use at the Refinery.

5.2 Monthly and Weekly Forecasts and Projections.

(a) No later than the tenth (10^th) Business Day prior to the Contract Cutoff Date of the Nomination Month, Aron shall provide the Company with a preliminary written forecast of Aron’s Target Month End Crude Volume and Target Month End Product Volume for the Delivery Month. During the first month of deliveries of Crude Oil made pursuant to this Agreement, Aron’s Target Month End Crude Volume and Target Month End Product Volume shall not exceed the midpoint of the ranges for the Crude Oil and Product Groups on Schedule D.

(b) No later than four (4) Business Days prior to the earliest Contract Cutoff Date in any Nomination Month, the Company shall provide Aron with a written forecast of the Refinery’s anticipated Crude Oil requirements for the related Delivery Month (each, a “Monthly Crude Forecast”).

(c) No later than 5:00 p.m., CPT, each Monday, the Company shall provide Aron with a written summary of the Refinery’s projected Crude Oil runs for the upcoming Production Week (each, a “Weekly Projection”).

(d) The Company shall promptly notify Aron in writing upon learning of any material change in any Monthly Crude Forecast or Weekly Projection or if it is necessary to delay any previously scheduled pipeline nominations or barge loadings.

(e) The Parties acknowledge that the Company is solely responsible for providing the Monthly Crude Forecast and the Weekly Projection and for making any adjustments thereto, and the Company agrees that all such forecasts and projections shall be prepared in good faith, with due regard to all available and reliable historical information and the Company’s then-current business prospects, and in accordance with such standards of care as are generally applicable in the U.S. oil refining industry. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (1) Aron shall be entitled to rely and act, and shall be fully protected in relying and acting, upon all such forecasts and projections, and (2) Aron shall not have any responsibility to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in such forecasts or projections.

5.3 Procurement of Crude Oil.

(a) As of the Commencement Date, Aron shall have become the purchaser under the Existing Procurement Contract through executing a new Procurement Contract with the Third Party Supplier thereunder.

(b) From time to time during the Term of this Agreement, the Company or Aron may propose that an Additional Procurement Contract be entered into, including any such Additional Procurement Contract as may be entered into in connection with the expiration

of an outstanding Procurement Contract. If the Parties mutually agree to seek Additional Procurement Contracts, then the Company shall endeavor to identify quantities of Crude Oil that may be acquired on a spot or term basis from one or more Third Party Suppliers. The Company may negotiate with any such Third Party Supplier regarding the price and other terms of such potential Additional Procurement Contract. The Company shall have no authority to bind Aron to, or enter into on Aron’s behalf, any Additional Procurement Contract or Procurement Contract Assignment, and the Company shall not represent to any third party that it has such authority. If the Company has negotiated an offer from a Third Party Supplier for an Additional Procurement Contract (and if relevant, Procurement Contract Assignment) that the Company wishes to be executed, the Company shall apprise Aron in writing of the terms of such offer and Aron shall promptly determine and advise the Company as to whether Aron desires to accept such offer. If Aron indicates its desire to accept such offer, then Aron shall promptly endeavor to formally communicate its acceptance of such offer to the Company and such Third Party Supplier so that the Third Party Supplier and Aron may enter into a binding Additional Procurement Contract (and if relevant, Procurement Contract Assignment) provided that any Additional Procurement Contract (and, if relevant, related Procurement Contract Assignment) shall require Aron’s express agreement and Aron shall not have any liability under or in connection with this Agreement if for any reason it, acting in good faith, does not agree to any proposed Additional Procurement Contract or related Procurement Contract Assignment.

(c) If the Company determines, in its reasonable judgment, that it is commercially beneficial for the Refinery to run a particular grade and/or volume of Crude Oil that is available from a Third Party Supplier that is not a counterparty with which Aron is then prepared to enter into a contract, then the Company may execute a contract to acquire such Crude Oil for the Company’s account.

(d) Title for each quantity of Crude Oil delivered into a Crude Storage Tank shall pass, if delivered under a Procurement Contract, from the relevant Third Party Supplier as provided in the relevant Procurement Contract or, if not delivered under a Procurement Contract, from the Company to Aron, as the Crude Oil passes the Crude Intake Point. The Parties acknowledge that the consideration due from Aron to the Company for any Crude Oil that is not delivered under a Procurement Contract will be reflected in the Monthly True-up Amounts determined following such delivery.

(e) The Company agrees that, except as permitted under Section 5.3(b), (c) or (d), it will not purchase or acquire Crude Oil from any party other than Aron during the Term of this Agreement, unless otherwise consented to by Aron.

(f) No later than four (4) Business Days prior to the earliest Contract Cutoff Date in any Nomination Month, the Company shall inform Aron whether the Company has purchased or intends to purchase any Crude Oil that is not being procured under a Procurement Contract for delivery during the related Delivery Month (“Other Barrels”), in which case the Company shall provide to Aron the quantity, grade and delivery terms of

such Other Barrels expected to be delivered to the Crude Storage Tanks during such Delivery Month.

5.4 Nominations under Procurement Contracts and for Pipelines.

(a) On the Business Day following receipt of the Monthly Crude Forecast and prior to the delivery of the Projected Monthly Run Volume, Aron shall provide to the Company Aron’s preliminary Target Month End Crude Volume and Target Month End Product Volume for the related Delivery Month if different from the Target Month End Crude Volume and Target Month End Product Volume for the related Delivery Month previously provided in Section 5.2(a). By no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the earliest Contract Cutoff Date occurring in such Nomination Month, the Company shall provide to Aron the Projected Monthly Run Volume for the Delivery Month for which deliveries must be nominated prior to such Contract Cutoff Dates. As part of such Projected Monthly Run Volume, the Company may specify the grade of such Projected Monthly Run Volume, provided that such grades and their respective quantities specified by the Company shall fall within the grades and quantities then available to be nominated by Aron under the outstanding Procurement Contracts.

(b) Provided that the Company provides Aron with the Projected Monthly Run Volume as required under Section 5.4(a), Aron shall make all scheduling and other selections and nominations (collectively, “Contract Nominations”) that are to be made under the Procurement Contracts on or before the Contract Cutoff Dates for the Procurement Contracts and such Contract Nominations shall reflect the quantity of each grade specified by the Company in such Projected Monthly Run Volume. Should any Contract Nomination not be accepted by any Third Party Supplier under a Procurement Contract, Aron shall promptly advise the Company and use commercially reasonable efforts with the Company and such Third Party Supplier to revise the Contract Nomination subject to the terms of any such Procurement Contract. Aron shall provide the Company with confirmation that such Contract Nominations have been made.

(c) Insofar as any pipeline nominations are required to be made by Aron for any Crude Oil prior to any applicable Pipeline Cutoff Date for any month, Aron shall be responsible for making such pipeline and terminal nominations for that month; provided that, Aron’s obligation to make such nominations shall be conditioned on its receiving from the Company scheduling instructions for that month a sufficient number of days prior to such Pipeline Cutoff Date so that Aron can make such nominations within the lead times required by such pipelines and terminals. Aron shall not be responsible if a Pipeline System is unable to accept Aron’s nomination or if the Pipeline System must allocate capacity among its shippers.

(d) For operational and other reasons relating to the conduct of its business, the Company may, from time to time, request that Aron make adjustments or modifications to Contract Nominations it has previously made under the Procurement Contracts. Promptly following receipt of any such request, Aron will use its commercially reasonable efforts to make such adjustment or modification, subject to any limitations or restrictions under the

relevant Procurement Contracts. Any additional cost or expenses incurred as a result of such an adjustment or modification shall constitute an Ancillary Cost hereunder.

(e) Aron shall not nominate or to its knowledge otherwise acquire any Crude Oil with characteristics that are not previously approved by the Company for use at the Refinery, such approval to be in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion.

(f) In addition to the nomination process, Aron and the Company shall follow the mutually agreed communications protocol as set forth on Schedule J hereto, with respect to ongoing daily coordination with feedstock suppliers, including purchases or sales of Crude Oil outside of the normal nomination procedures.

(g) Each of the Company and Aron agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts in preparing the forecasts, projections and nominations required by this Agreement in a manner intended to maintain Crude Oil and Product operational volumes within the Operational Volume Range.

(h) Prior to entering into any Ancillary Contract (as defined in Article 19 below) that is intended for the exclusive benefit of the Company in connection with this Agreement and does not by its terms expire or terminate on or as of the Termination Date, Aron will endeavor, in good faith and subject to any confidentiality restrictions, to afford the Company an opportunity to review and comment on such Ancillary Contract or the terms thereof and to confer with the Company regarding such Ancillary Contract and terms and if Aron enters into any such Ancillary Contract without the Company’s consent, the Company shall not be obligated to assume such Ancillary Contract pursuant to Section 19.1(c) below.

5.5 Storage and Delivery of Crude Oil.

(a) Aron shall have the exclusive right to store Crude Oil in the Crude Storage Tanks as provided in the Storage Facilities Agreement.

(b) Pursuant to the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements, Aron shall have the right to inject (except for such injections by the Company otherwise contemplated hereby), store, transport and withdraw Crude Oil in and from the Included Locations to the same extent as the Company’s rights to do so prior to the implementation of the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements.

(c) Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall be permitted to withdraw from the Crude Storage Tanks and take delivery of Crude Oil on any day and at any time. The withdrawal and receipt of any Crude Oil by the Company at the Crude Delivery Point shall be on an “ex works” basis. Aron shall be responsible only for arranging transportation and delivery of Crude Oil into the Crude Storage Tanks and the Company shall bear sole responsibility for arranging the withdrawal of Crude Oil from the Crude Storage Tanks. The Company shall take all actions necessary to maintain a connection with the Crude Storage Tanks to enable withdrawal and delivery of Crude Oil to be made as contemplated hereby.

5.6 Title, Risk of Loss and Custody.

(a) Title to and risk of loss of the Crude Oil shall pass from Aron to the Company at the Crude Delivery Point. The Company shall assume custody of the Crude Oil as it passes the Crude Delivery Point.

(b) During the time any Crude Oil is held in the Crude Storage Tanks, the Company, in its capacity as operator of the Crude Storage Tanks and pursuant to the Storage Facilities Agreement, shall be solely responsible for compliance with all Applicable Laws, including all Environmental Laws, pertaining to the possession, handling, use and processing of such Crude Oil and shall indemnify and hold harmless Aron, its Affiliates and their agents, representatives, contractors, employees, directors and officers, for all Liabilities directly or indirectly arising therefrom except to the extent such Liabilities are caused by or attributable to any of the matters for which Aron is indemnifying the Company pursuant to Article 20.

(c) At and after transfer of any Crude Oil at the Crude Delivery Point, the Company shall be solely responsible for compliance with all Applicable Laws, including all Environmental Laws pertaining to the possession, handling, use and processing of such Crude Oil and shall indemnify and hold harmless Aron, its Affiliates and their agents, representatives, contractors, employees, directors and officers, for all Liabilities directly or indirectly arising therefrom.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Aron and the Company agree that the Company shall have an insurable interest in Crude Oil that is subject to a Procurement Contract and that the Company may, at its election and with prior notice to Aron, endeavor to insure the Crude Oil. If pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Company bears the loss of any Crude Oil, then (subject to any other setoff or netting rights Aron may have hereunder) any insurance payment to Aron made to cover same shall be promptly paid over by Aron to the Company.

5.7 Contract Documentation, Confirmations and Conditions.

(a) Aron’s obligations to deliver Crude Oil under this Agreement shall be subject to (i) the Company identifying and negotiating potential Procurement Contracts, in accordance with Section 5.3, that are acceptable to both the Company and Aron relating to a sufficient quantity of Crude Oil to meet the Refinery’s requirements, (ii) the Company performing its obligations hereunder with respect to providing Aron with timely nominations, forecasts and projections (including Projected Monthly Run Volumes, as contemplated in Section 5.4(a)) so that Aron may make timely nominations under the Procurement Contracts, (iii) all of the terms and conditions of the Procurement Contracts, and (iv) no Event of Default having occurred and continuing with respect to the Company.

(b) In documenting each Procurement Contract, including any Additional Procurement Contract that may be entered into pursuant to Section 5.3(b), Aron will endeavor and cooperate with the Company, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, to obtain the Third Party Supplier’s agreement that a copy of such Procurement

Contract may be provided to the Company; provided that this Section 5.7(b) in no way limits the Company’s rights to consent to all Procurement Contracts as contemplated by Section 5.3(b). In addition, to the extent it is permitted to do so, Aron will endeavor to keep the Company apprised of, and consult with the Company regarding, the terms and conditions being incorporated into any Procurement Contract under negotiation with a Third Party Supplier.

(c) The Company acknowledges and agrees that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, it is obligated to purchase and take delivery of all Crude Oil acquired by Aron under Procurement Contracts executed in connection herewith and subject to the terms and conditions specified in Section 5.4 above. In the event of a dispute, Aron will provide to the Company, to the extent legally and contractually permissible, a copy of the Procurement Contract in question.

5.8 DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTY OF TITLE WITH RESPECT TO CRUDE OIL DELIVERED HEREUNDER, ARON MAKES NO WARRANTY, CONDITION OR OTHER REPRESENTATION, WRITTEN OR ORAL, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS OR SUITABILITY OF THE CRUDE OIL FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE. FURTHER, ARON MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION THAT THE CRUDE OIL CONFORMS TO THE SPECIFICATIONS IDENTIFIED IN ARON’S CONTRACT WITH ANY THIRD PARTY SUPPLIER.

5.9 Quality Claims and Claims Handling.

(a) The failure of any Crude Oil that Aron hereunder sells to the Company to meet the specifications or other quality requirements applicable thereto as stated in Aron’s Procurement Contract for that Crude Oil shall be for the sole account of the Company and shall not entitle the Company to any reduction in the amounts due by it to Aron hereunder; provided, however, that any claims made by Aron with respect to such non-conforming Crude Oil shall be for the Company’s account and resolved in accordance with this Section 5.9.

(b) The Parties shall consult with each other and coordinate how to handle and resolve any claims arising in the ordinary course of business (including claims related to Crude Oil, pipeline or ocean transportation, and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising hereunder between Aron and any of its vendors who supply goods or services in conjunction with Aron’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement) made by or against Aron. In all instances wherein claims are made by a third party against Aron which will be for the account of the Company, the Company shall have the right, subject to Section 5.9(d), to either direct Aron to take commercially reasonable actions in the handling of such claims or assume the handling of such claims in the name of Aron, all at the Company’s cost and expense; provided that Aron may require that the Company assume the handling of any such claim. To the extent that the Company believes that any claim should be made by Aron for the account of the Company against any third party (whether a Third Party Supplier, terminal facility, pipeline, storage facility or otherwise), and subject to Section 5.9(d), Aron will take

any commercially reasonable actions as requested by the Company either directly, or by allowing the Company to do so, to prosecute such claim all at the Company’s cost and expense and all recoveries resulting from the prosecution of such claim shall be for the account of the Company.

(c) Aron shall, in a commercially reasonable manner, cooperate with the Company in prosecuting any such claim and shall be entitled to assist in the prosecution of such claim at the Company’s expense.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.9(b) or Section 5.9(c) to the contrary, Aron may notify the Company that Aron is retaining control over or limiting its participation in the resolution of any claim referred to in Section 5.9(b) or Section 5.9(c) if Aron, in its reasonable judgment, has determined that it has commercially reasonable business considerations for doing so based on any relationships that Aron or any of its Affiliates had, has or may have with the third party involved in such claim; provided that, subject to such considerations, Aron shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such claim, at the Company’s expense and for the Company’s account or, at its option, Aron may assign to the Company all of Aron’s rights under and to pursue such claim after which Aron shall have no further obligation with respect thereto. In addition, any claim that is or becomes subject to Article 20 shall be handled and resolved in accordance with the provisions of Article 20.

(e) If any claim contemplated in this Section 5.9 involves a counterparty that is an Affiliate of Aron and the management and operation of such counterparty is under the actual and effective control of Aron, then the Company shall control the dispute and resolution of such claim.

5.10 Communications.

(a) Each Party shall promptly provide to the other copies of any and all written communications and documents between it and any third party which in any way relate to Ancillary Costs, including but not limited to written communications and documents with Pipeline Systems, provided that Aron has received such communications and documents in respect of the Pipeline System and/or any communications and documents related to the nominating, scheduling and/or chartering of vessels; provided that neither Party shall be obligated to provide to the other any such materials that contain proprietary or confidential information and, in providing any such materials, such Party may redact or delete any such proprietary or confidential information.

(b) With respect to any proprietary or confidential information referred to in Section 5.10(a), Aron shall promptly notify the Company of the nature or type of such information and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents or releases as necessary to permit such information to be made available to the Company.

(c) The Parties shall coordinate all nominations and deliveries according to the communications protocol set forth on Schedule J hereto.

5.11 Supplemental Material.

(a) Supplemental Quantities. From time to time, unless otherwise directed by Aron under the Alon USA Supply and Offtake Agreement, and provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Agreement, Alon USA may withdraw quantities of Crude Oil from the BSR Crude Storage Tanks through the Alternate Delivery Point for Eastbound Shipment or receive quantities of Crude Oil into the BSR Crude Storage Tanks through the Alternate Delivery Point from Westbound Shipment. In each case, the quantity of Crude Oil withdrawn or received shall be deemed to equal the quantity reported by SPLP as having been injected or delivered at the Supplemental Injection Point based on readings of SPLP’s custody transfer meter (each such quantity, a “Supplemental Quantity”). Once any Crude Oil is injected into the Supplemental Pipeline, such Crude Oil shall constitute Supplemental Material for purposes hereof. Each Supplemental Quantity shall be the amount reported by SPLP, which amounts shall be reported as positive numbers and shall indicate for each Supplemental Quantity whether it is an Eastbound Shipment or a Westbound Shipment.

(b) Certain Adjustments.

(i) For purposes of all monthly calculations:

(A) the Monthly Supplemental Quantity shall be deemed to be subject to an Included Transaction; provided that, if such Monthly Supplemental Quantity is a positive amount, such Included Transaction shall constitute an agreement by the Company to purchase Supplemental Material from Aron which shall represent a positive volume for purposes of this Agreement and if such Monthly Supplemental Quantity is negative, such Included Transaction shall constitute an agreement of Aron to purchase Supplemental Material from the Company which shall represent a negative volume for purposes of this Agreement, and in each case having a per Barrel price equal to the Supplemental Price for that relevant month. The Parties acknowledge that, for purposes of calculating the Aggregate Monthly Product True-up Amount in accordance with Schedule C to this Agreement, as a result of the foregoing, the Monthly Supplemental Quantity shall be added to Aggregate Product Sales for the relevant month and the Supplemental Material Product Group, so that if the Monthly Supplemental Quantity is a positive number (representing a purchase of Supplemental Material by the Company from Aron) it shall increase Aggregate Product Sales and if the Monthly Supplemental Quantity is a negative number (representing a purchase of Supplemental Material by Aron from the Company) it shall decrease Aggregate Product Sales; and

(B) each Nederland-Krotz Buy/Sell Transaction shall be deemed to result in:

(1) the aggregate Shipped Quantity for such month being subject to an Included Transaction under which Aron has sold such quantity to the Company at the applicable price specified pursuant to the Nederland-Krotz Buy/Sell Confirmation and, for purposes of the month in which such aggregate Shipped Quantity is delivered, it shall be an increase to the Aggregate Product Sales for such month for the Supplemental Material Product Group; and

(2) the aggregate Delivered Quantity for such month being subject to a Procurement Contract under which Aron has purchased such quantity from the Company at the applicable price specified pursuant to the Nederland-Krotz Buy/Sell Confirmation and, for purposes of the month in which such Delivered Quantity is delivered, it shall be an increase to Aggregate Crude Receipts for such month.

(ii) For purposes of calculating Net Payments, the following provisions shall apply:

(A) “Adjusted Net Payment Condition” means the following: Aron shall have determined, in its reasonable judgment based on such inventory reports and other reasonable forms of evidence as may be available, that the sum of the Supplemental Step-in Inventory and the aggregate quantity of Supplemental Material injected into the Included Supplemental Facilities following the Inventory Transfer Time under the Supplemental Inventory Sales Agreement exceeds [***] Barrels.

(B) Once the Adjusted Net Payment Condition has been satisfied, and for so long as the Supplemental LC is maintained and continues to satisfy the maintenance requirements specified in the Fee Letter, the determination, as applicable, of the Weekly Supply Value under Section 10.1(c) or the Daily Supply Value under Section 10.2(c) of this Agreement shall be adjusted by including in such determination the deemed Procurement Contract referred to in Section 5.11(b)(i)(B)(2) above on the same basis as all other Procurement Contracts for purposes of such determination; provided that if Aron in its reasonable judgment determines, with respect to such deemed Procurement Contracts, that Contract Nominations are deviating from actual Shipped Quantities in excess of immaterial and customary variances, then for purposes of determining the Weekly Supply Value, Aron may from time to time adjust the amount of such Contract Nominations as it deems appropriate.

(C) The Parties acknowledge and agree that neither the Supplemental Material nor the Included Supplemental Facilities shall at any time be reflected in the calculation of the Net Payment.

(D) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the deemed Procurement Contract referred to in Section 5.11(b)(i)(B)(2) above shall be included in the determination of the Weekly Supply Value or Daily Supply Value only under the terms and conditions specified above. Accordingly, at all times prior to the satisfaction of the Adjusted Net Payment Condition and thereafter at any time at which the Supplemental LC has ceased to comply with the maintenance conditions specified in the Fee Letter, the determination of the Weekly Supply Value or Daily Supply Value shall be made as set forth in Section 10.1(c) or 10.2(c) of this Agreement (as applicable), without including such deemed Procurement Contract as contemplated by Section 5.11(b)(i)(B)(2) above.

(c) Measurements. For purposes of determining the Monthly Supplemental Quantity, Aron shall rely on the pipeline statements provided by SPLP with respect to the volumes on the Supplemental Pipeline.

(d) Shipments from Nederland Terminal to the Refinery.

(i) From time to time, the Parties may enter into buy/sell transactions pursuant to the Nederland-Krotz Buy/Sell Confirmation (each, a “Nederland-Krotz Buy/Sell Transaction”), under which, in the case of each Nederland-Krotz Buy/Sell Transaction, Aron shall sell to the Company a quantity of Supplemental Material at the time it passes the delivery point specified in the Nederland-Krotz Buy/Sell Confirmation (the “Shipped Quantity”), which the Company shall thereafter arrange to transport to the Refinery, and the Company shall sell to Aron the portion of the Shipped Quantity that is delivered into the Crude Storage Tanks at the Refinery as such quantity passes the Crude Intake Point (the “Delivered Quantity”), in each case as further specified pursuant to the Nederland-Krotz Buy/Sell Confirmation. Each Shipped Quantity shall be determined based on the reports of Supplier’s Inspector or SPMT as mutually agreed between the Parties. The Parties acknowledge that the net payment terms specified in the Nederland-Krotz Buy/Sell Confirmation are conditioned on the requirement that Shipped Quantities be transported by the Company only to the Refinery.

(ii) In connection with each Nederland-Krotz Buy/Sell Transaction, the Parties shall comply with both the nomination and scheduling procedures set forth in the Nederland Terminaling Agreement (“Nederland Shipment Procedures”) and the Scheduling Protocol set forth on Schedule J hereto.

(iii) The Company covenants and agrees that it will take such further actions, and execute, deliver and/or file such additional agreements, instruments and documents as Aron and its Affiliates may deem necessary or appropriate to confirm and maintain the lien and security interest of Aron under the Lien Documents in all Shipped Quantities and all documents of title (“Title Documents”) related thereto. If, in Aron’s reasonable judgment, Aron does not or would not hold a perfected first priority security interest in any quantities that are intended to be Shipped Quantities

and/or Title Documents that would be related thereto, then such quantities shall not be released from the storage tanks at the Nederland Terminal unless the Company has provided to Aron additional credit support in form and substance satisfactory to Aron with respect to such quantities that the Company desires to ship.

(iv) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.11(d)(iii) above, the Company covenants and agrees, with respect to each Shipped Quantity, that any bill of lading issued with respect to the further transportation by the Company of such Shipped Quantity from the docks of the Nederland Terminal (as provided in the Nederland Shipment Procedures) shall be a non-negotiable bill of lading and the Company shall be the only consignee named thereon.

(e) Title.

(i) Aron shall retain title to all Supplemental Material quantities at all times while such quantities are held in the Supplemental Pipeline or in the Nederland Terminal in connection with this Agreement or the Alon USA Supply and Offtake Agreement (including without limitation any linefill transferred to Aron in connection therewith), except to the extent otherwise provided under a buy/sell transaction between Aron and Alon USA with respect to an Excess Quantity.

(ii) As provided in the Nederland-Krotz Buy/Sell Confirmation, title to any Shipped Quantity shall transfer from Aron to the Company as such quantity passes the relevant delivery point provided therein and title to any Delivered Quantity shall transfer from the Company to Aron as such Supplemental Quantity or portion thereof passes the relevant delivery point as provided therein.

(f) Certain Acknowledgements and Further Agreements.

(i) To the extent that, as of the Termination Date, Aron holds any Supplemental Material in the Supplemental Pipeline or the Nederland Terminal that it owns in connection with this Agreement or as a result of any Included Transactions or Procurement Contracts thereunder, such Supplemental Material volumes (as determined in accordance with the Volume Determination Procedures) shall be included as part of the Termination Date Volumes and purchased by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Step-out Inventory Sales Agreement.

(ii) The Company agrees that whether any Procurement Contract constitutes a Procurement Contract under this Agreement or the Alon USA Supply and Offtake Agreement will, unless otherwise deemed appropriate based on Aron’s reasonable judgment, be determined by Aron based on whether the Crude Oil subject thereto is first delivered to an Included Supplemental Facility under this Agreement or an Included Location under the Alon USA Supply and Offtake Agreement.

(iii) The Company agrees that any removal of Supplemental Material from the Included Supplemental Facilities shall occur (i) under a Nederland Buy/Sell Transaction, (ii) via Westbound Shipment through the Supplemental Injection Point or (iii) otherwise under a separate documents arrangement expressly agreed to by Aron.

(g) Supplemental Material Product Group.

(i) From and after the date hereof, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, Supplemental Material shall be treated as a separate Product and Product Group for purposes of this Agreement and such other Transaction Documents.

(ii) The range applicable to Target Month End Product Volumes specified by Aron, as contemplated by Section 7.3(c) of this Agreement, shall have a Baseline Volume and Volume in Excess of Baseline as specified on Schedule D.

5.12 Deemed Acceptance. With respect to any trade confirmation issued by Aron to the Company in connection with any transaction relating to this Agreement, if Aron does not receive from the Company either acceptance or notification of a bona fide error within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such confirmation, then the Company shall be deemed to have accepted such confirmation, and such confirmation shall be effective and binding upon the Parties.

ARTICLE 6
PURCHASE VALUE FOR CRUDE OIL

6.1 Daily Volumes. For each Delivery Date, the Company shall provide to Aron, by no later than 1:00 pm CPT on the next Business Day (except (i) in the case of Friday and Saturday, then by the following Monday and (ii) in the case of Sunday and Monday, then by the following Tuesday), meter tickets or tank gauge readings confirming the Measured Crude Quantity for each Crude Storage Tank for that Delivery Date.

6.2 Purchase Value.

(a) Prior to the Third Restatement Adjustment Date:

(i) The per Barrel value of the Crude Oil sold to the Company hereunder shall equal the sum of the per Barrel purchase value specified in the related Procurement Contract under which such Crude Oil was acquired (the “Base Price”) plus the Pre-Adjustment Level One Fee (such sum being the “Supply Cost”), subject to application of the relevant Prices and Index Amounts as provided on Schedule B hereto and calculation of the Monthly Crude Oil True-up Amount as provided on Schedule C hereto.

(ii) For all Other Barrels procured by the Company outside of a Procurement Contract and sold to Aron, the Company will pay Aron the Pre-

Adjustment Level Two Fee per Barrel. Any such amount will be included in the applicable Monthly Crude Oil True-Up Amount. Upon Aron’s request, the Company will provide documentation evidencing such Crude Oil purchases.

(b) Following the Third Restatement Adjustment Date:

(i) As the purchase value for the Net Crude Sales Volume for any month, the Company shall owe to Aron when due the Monthly Crude Payment determined with respect to that Net Crude Sales Volume, subject to application of the relevant Prices and Index Amounts as provided on Schedule B hereto and calculation of the Monthly Crude Oil True-up Amount as provided on Schedule C hereto, and payable as provided in Section 10.2.

(ii) For any month, the “Monthly Crude Payment” shall equal, with respect to the Net Crude Sales Volume for such month, the sum of (A) the product of (1) the Monthly Crude Price for that month and (2) the Net Crude Sales Volume for such month (the amount determined in this clause (A) may be a positive or negative number), (B) the Crude Purchase Fee for that month and (C) the Ancillary Costs for that month. If the Monthly Crude Payment is a negative number, then the absolute value thereof shall represent an amount owed from Aron to the Company and payable as provided in Section 10.2.

(iii) For any month, the “Crude Purchase Fee” shall equal the sum of:

(A) the product of (1) the Level One Fee per barrel and (2) the Level One Barrels for such month, plus

(B) the product of (1) Level Two Fee per barrel and (2) the Level Two Barrels for such month.

(iv) “Third Party Barrels” means, for any month, the number of barrels purchased by Aron from any Third Party Supplier (other than any Affiliate of the Company).

(v) “Level One Barrels” means, for any month, the number of Third Party Barrels not in excess of [***] barrels.

(vi) “Level Two Barrels” means, for any month, the number of Third Party Barrels (if any) in excess of the Level One Barrels for such month.

(vii) For any month, the “Counterparty Crude Sales Fee” shall equal the product of (A) “Monthly Crude Procurement Sale Volume” (as defined on Schedule C) and (B) the counterparty level fee as determined on a monthly basis by Aron for each respective party.

(viii) The Crude Purchase Fee calculated under this Section 6.2 shall be incorporated under Schedule C as an amount due to Aron and to the extent

necessary, Aron may convert such amount to a negative number for purposes of achieving that result in making its calculations under Schedule C.

6.3 Material Crude Grade Changes. If either the Company or Aron concludes in its reasonable judgment that the specifications (including specific gravity and sulfur content of Crude Oil) of the Crude Oil procured, or projected to be procured, differ materially from the HLS and LLS Crude Oil, the grades that have generally been run by the Refinery, then the Company and Aron will endeavor in good faith to mutually agree on (i) acceptable indices for such Crude Oil, and (ii) a settlement payment from one Party to the other sufficient to compensate the relevant Party for the relative costs and benefits to each of the differences in value between the prior indices and the amended indices.

ARTICLE 7
TARGET INVENTORY LEVELS AND
WORKING CAPITAL ADJUSTMENT

7.1 Target Inventory Levels. Aron will set monthly inventory targets for Crude Oil and Products. Such monthly inventory targets for Crude Oil and Products shall be subject to (i) the Baseline Volumes and (ii) the sum of Baseline Volumes plus Volumes in Excess of Baseline on Schedule D for each Pricing Group (each sum, a “Maximum Volume”).

7.2 Target Month End Crude Volume.

(a) By no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the earliest Contract Cutoff Date occurring in each Nomination Month, the Company shall notify Aron of the aggregate quantity of Crude Oil that the Company expects to run at the Refinery during the subject Delivery Month (the “Projected Monthly Run Volume”).

(b) For each month of the Term, the “Target Month End Crude Volume” shall equal (i) the Target Month End Crude Volume for the immediately preceding month, subject to any adjustment thereto made pursuant to Section 7.2, plus (ii) the aggregate volume of Crude Oil that Aron has nominated under the Procurement Contracts for delivery during that month pursuant to Section 5.4(b), plus (iii) the aggregate volume of the expected Other Barrels, minus (iv) the Projected Monthly Run Volume for that month (except that the Target Month End Crude Volume as of the Commencement Date and as of the end of the first month of the Term shall be the respective volumes specified as such on Schedule I hereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Target Month End Crude Volume shall in no event exceed a Maximum Volume or be less than the Baseline Volume for Crude Oil indicated on Schedule D unless Aron establishes such a Month End Crude Volume as otherwise permitted under this Section 7.2.

(c) In establishing a Target Month End Crude Volume, Aron acknowledges that its ability to increase any such Target Month End Crude Volume is constrained to the extent that the Crude Oil available for delivery under the Procurement Contracts plus Other Barrels available for delivery during such month are not greater than the Company’s Crude Oil requirements for the Refinery for the month related to such Target Month End Crude Volume.

(d) After Aron has established a Target Month End Crude Volume for any month, it may change such Target Month End Crude Volume as follows:

(i) If the sum of (A) the Actual Month End Crude Volume and (B) the Baseline Volume for Crude Oil (the “Adjusted Month End Crude Volume”) is above the Target Month End Crude Volume by more than [***] Barrels and the Projected Net Crude Consumption is greater than the Actual Net Crude Consumption, then Aron may increase the Target Month End Crude Volume for such Delivery Month by the lesser of (i) the Adjusted Month End Crude Volume minus the sum of (A) the Target Month End Crude Volume and (B) [***] Barrels and (ii) the Projected Net Crude Consumption minus the Actual Net Crude Consumption. If the Target Month End Crude Volume is above the Adjusted Month End Crude Volume by more than [***] Barrels and the Actual Net Crude Consumption is greater than the Projected Net Crude Consumption, then Aron may reduce the Target Month End Crude Volume for such Delivery Month by the lesser of (i) the Target Month End Crude Volume minus the sum of (A) the Adjusted Month End Crude Volume plus (B) [***] Barrels and (ii) the Actual Net Crude Consumption minus the Projected Net Crude Consumption. Aron must notify the Company of its intent to make this change within four (4) Business Days after the end of such Delivery Month. The Company may dispute this change within one (1) Business Day after receiving such notification from Aron.

(ii) In addition, Aron may adjust the Target Month End Crude Volume with the consent of the Company.

In all cases described above, the changed Target Month End Crude Volume affects only the subject month and does not impact the calculation of the Target Month End Crude Volume in subsequent months pursuant to Section 7.2(b).

7.3 Target Month End Product Volume.

(a) No later than five (5) Business Days prior to each calendar month, the Company shall provide to Aron its standard run-out report (the “Run-out Report”) showing the estimated quantities of each Product that it expects to produce and deliver to Aron during such month and the quantities of each Product it expects to sell under the Marketing and Sales Agreement during such month (for each Product, the “Projected Monthly Production Volume”), which may, from time to time, be adjusted by the Company.

(b) For each month and each type of Product, Aron shall from time to time (but subject to any applicable notification deadlines specified on Schedule D hereto) specify an aggregate quantity and grade that shall be the “Target Month End Product Volume” for that month, which shall represent that volume (which may be zero or a positive number) for that Product targeted to be in excess of the Baseline Volume for that Product (except that the Target Month End Product Volume for each type of Product as of the Commencement Date and as of the end of the first month of the Term shall be the respective volumes specified as such on Schedule I hereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Target Month End Product

Volume shall in no event exceed a Maximum Volume or be less than the Baseline Volume for such Product unless Aron establishes such a Month End Product Volume as otherwise permitted under this Section 7.3.

(c) Provided that the Company has complied with its obligations under the Marketing and Sales Agreement, and subject to events of Force Majeure, facility turnarounds, the performance of any third parties (including purchasers of Products under the Marketing and Sales Agreement), Aron will, in establishing each Target Month End Product Volume, endeavor in a commercially reasonable manner to cause such Target Month End Product Volume to be within the applicable range specified for such Product on Schedule D hereto.

(d) At any time prior to the beginning of the month to which a Target Month End Product Volume relates (but subject to any applicable notification deadlines specified on Schedule D hereto), Aron may change such Target Month End Product Volume.

(e) After Aron has established a Target Month End Product Volume, it may change such Target Month End Product Volume if one of the following occurs: (i) the sum of (A) the Actual Month End Product Volume and (B) the Baseline Volume for such Product (the “Adjusted Month End Product Volume”) is below the minimum of the Operational Volume Range for the volume in excess of the Baseline Volume for such Product or (ii) the Adjusted Month End Product Volume is above the maximum of the Operational Volume Range for the volume in excess of the Baseline Volume for such Product, in which case Aron may change its Target Month End Product Volume for such month to equal the Adjusted Month End Product Volume. Aron must notify the Company of its intent to make this change within four (4) Business Days after the end of such Delivery Month. The Company may dispute this change within one (1) Business Day after receiving such notification from Aron. In all cases described above, the changed Target Month End Product Volume affects only the subject month and does not impact the calculation of the Target Month End Product Volume in subsequent months.

(f) The Target Month End Product Volume will be adjusted in accordance with the procedure for Excluded Transactions as described in the Marketing and Sales Agreement.

In addition, Aron may adjust the Target Month End Product Volume with the consent of the Company.

7.4 Monthly Working Capital Adjustment. Promptly after the end of each month, Aron shall determine the Monthly Working Capital Adjustment.

7.5 Monthly Product Sale Adjustments. For each calendar month (or portion thereof) during the term of the Marketing and Sales Agreement and for each Product Group, Aron shall determine whether an amount is due by one Party to the other (for each Product Group, a “Monthly Product Sale Adjustment”) in accordance with the following terms and conditions:

(a) For each Product Group and relevant period, Aron shall determine (i) the aggregate quantity of Barrels of such Product Group sold during such period under Product

Purchase Agreements and Company Purchase Agreements, (ii) the aggregate quantity of Barrels of such Product Group sold under any Excluded Transaction executed pursuant to Section 2.2(c) of the Marketing and Sales Agreement and (iii) the Aggregate Receipts (as defined below);

(b) If, for any Product Group and relevant period, (i) the Aggregate Receipts exceeds the Index Value (as defined below), then the Monthly Product Sale Adjustment for that Product Group shall equal such excess and shall be due to the Company and (ii) the Index Value exceeds the Aggregate Receipts, then the Monthly Product Sale Adjustment for that Product Group shall equal such excess and shall be due to Aron;

(c) If Aron determines that any Monthly Product Sale Adjustment is due, it will include its calculation of such amount in the documentation provided to the Company for the relevant period pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof and such Monthly Product Sale Adjustment shall be incorporated as a component of the Monthly True-up Amount due for such period which, if due to the Company, shall be expressed as a positive number and, if due to Aron, shall be expressed as a negative number; and

(d) As used herein:

(i) “Aggregate Receipts” means, for any Product Group and relevant period, the sum of (x) the actual aggregate purchase value invoiced by Aron for all quantities of such Product Group that Aron delivered during such period (without giving effect to any offsetting Excluded Transactions) under Product Purchase Agreements with Customers and under Company Purchase Agreements with Company Purchasers (as defined in the Marketing and Sales Agreement) and (y) for any Excluded Transaction executed pursuant to Section 2.2(c) of the Marketing and Sales Agreement, the aggregate purchase value that would have been payable under the proposed Product Purchase Agreement in connection with which such Excluded Transaction was executed;

(ii) “Index Value” means, for any Product Group and relevant period, the product of (A) the sum of the aggregate quantity of Barrels of such Product Group sold during such period (without giving effect to any offsetting Excluded Transactions) under Product Purchase Agreements and Company Purchase Agreements and the quantity of sales for such period covered by clause (y) of the definition of Aggregate Receipts, multiplied by (B) the Long Product FIFO Value for that Product Group and period.

7.6 Monthly Cover Costs. If, for any calendar month (or portion thereof), Aron reasonably determines that, as a result of the Company’s failure to produce the quantities of Product projected under this Agreement or the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations under the Marketing and Sales Agreement, Aron retains insufficient quantities of Product to comply with its obligations to any third parties or the Company, whether under Product Purchase Agreements, Company Purchase Agreements or Excluded Transactions, and Aron incurs any additional costs and expenses in procuring Product from other sources for purposes of covering such delivery

obligations or the shortfall in the quantity held for its account (collectively, “Monthly Cover Costs”), then the Company shall be obliged to reimburse Aron for such Monthly Cover Costs. If Aron determines that any Monthly Cover Costs are due to it, Aron shall promptly communicate such determination to the Company and, subject to any mitigation of such costs actually achieved by the Company, include the calculation of such amount in the documentation provided to the Company for the relevant period pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof and such Monthly Cover Costs shall be incorporated as a component of the Monthly True-up Amount due for such period hereunder.

7.7 Costs Related to Shortfall. To the extent that Aron is required to cover any shortfall in any Product delivery, whether under a Product Purchase Agreement or Company Purchase Agreement or otherwise, by any inventory it owns and acquires separately from the inventory owned and maintained in connection with this Agreement, any cost or loss incurred by Aron in connection therewith that is not otherwise included as a Monthly Cover Cost shall constitute an Ancillary Cost that is to be reimbursed to Aron.

7.8 Monthly Excluded Transaction Fee. For any Barrel of gasoline or jet fuel delivered by Aron under an Excluded Transaction (net of any purchases under Excluded Transactions), Aron shall be obligated to pay to the Company an amount equal to the applicable Per Barrel Adjustment (as set forth on Schedule K to this Agreement). For each calendar month, Aron shall determine the net quantities of gasoline and jet fuel delivered during such month under Excluded Transactions and the aggregate amount due under this Section 7.8 as a result of such deliveries (the “Monthly Excluded Transaction Fee”). In addition, in computing the Monthly Excluded Transaction Fee, no fee shall be due with respect to any Barrels subject to an Excluded Transaction Pair (as defined in the Marketing and Sales Agreement). If any Monthly Excluded Transaction Fee is due to the Company for any period, Aron will include its calculation of such amount in the documentation provided to the Company for the relevant period pursuant to Section 10.3 hereunder and such Monthly Excluded Transaction Fee shall be incorporated as a component of the Monthly True-up Amount due for such period

7.9 Periodic Price Adjustments.

(a) Prior to each Periodic Adjustment Date, the Parties shall undertake the procedures set forth in Schedule GG and calculate whether, based on such data and procedures set forth in Schedule GG, an adjustment to any of the Prices is appropriate. Promptly after Aron has completed such calculation, it shall advise the Company in writing as to whether any Price adjustments are appropriate and if so the amounts of such Price adjustments. Any such adjusted Prices shall become applicable commencing with the relevant Periodic Adjustment Date.

(b) If any Prices are adjusted as of a Periodic Adjustment Date, Aron shall determine the Price Adjustment Settlement Amount in accordance with Schedule GG hereto and such amount shall be included in the applicable Monthly True-Up Amount as set forth on Schedule GG.

7.10 Transition Adjustment Period. The Parties agree that, with respect to the months occurring in the Transition Adjustment Period, the Monthly True-up Amounts for each such month shall be further adjusted as provided in Schedule HH hereto.

ARTICLE 8

(c) Pursuant to the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements, Aron shall have the exclusive right to inject (except for such injections by the Company otherwise contemplated hereby), store, transport and withdraw Products in and on the Included Locations to the same extent as the Company’s rights to do so prior to the implementation of the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements.

8.3 Expected Yield and Estimated Output.

(a) On or before the Commencement Date, the Company provided to Aron an expected Product yield for the Refinery based on its then current operating forecast for the Refinery (the “Initial Estimated Yield”). From time to time, based on its then current operating forecast for the Refinery, the Company may provide to Aron a revised expected Product yield for the Refinery (each, a “Revised Estimated Yield” and, together with the Initial Estimated Yield, an “Estimated Yield”).

(b) At least five (5) Business Days prior to each month, the Company shall, based on the then current Estimated Yield and such other operating factors as it deems relevant, prepare and provide to Aron an estimate of the Product quantities it expects to deliver to Aron during such month (each, a “Monthly Product Estimate”).

8.4 Delivered Quantities. For each Delivery Date, the Company shall provide to Aron, by no later than 1:00 p.m. CPT on the next Business Day (except (i) in the case of Friday and Saturday, then by the following Monday and (ii) in the case of Sunday and Monday, then by the

following Tuesday), meter tickets or tank gauge readings confirming the Measured Product Quantity in each Product Storage Tank for each Product delivered during that Delivery Date.

8.5 Title and Risk of Loss. Title and risk of loss to Products shall pass from the Company to Aron as Products pass the Products Delivery Point.

8.6 Product Specifications. The Company agrees that all Products sold to Aron hereunder shall conform to the respective specifications set forth on Schedule A hereto or to such other specifications as are from time to time agreed upon by the Parties.

8.7 Purchase Value of Products. The per unit value for each type of Product sold to Aron hereunder shall equal the Long Product FIFO Value specified for such Product (the “Product Cost”), subject to application of the relevant values as provided on Schedule B hereto and calculation of the Monthly Product True-up Amount as provided on Schedule C hereto.

8.8 Resale of Products.

(a) The Parties will endeavor, in good faith, to cause each of the Company’s existing commitments to sell Product to a third party (collectively, “Existing Sales Commitments”) to be assigned by the Company to Aron pursuant to an assignment agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Aron. Any Existing Sales Commitment that is so assigned shall constitute an “Assigned Sales Commitment” for purposes hereof. The Parties acknowledge that an assignment of an Existing Sales Commitment may not occur for various reasons, including, but not limited to, the refusal of the purchaser thereunder to consent to such assignment or Aron’s determination that it does not wish to have a direct contractual relationship with such purchaser.

(b) The Company agrees that, except for the Existing Sales Commitments, the Company will not enter into any other commitments to sell Products unless permitted in accordance with the Marketing and Sales Agreement or otherwise consented to by Aron in writing.

8.9 Material Product Grade Changes. If either the Company or Aron concludes in its reasonable judgment that the specifications or the mix of the constituents of a Pricing Group produced, or projected to be produced, differ materially from those that have generally been produced by the Refinery, then the Company and Aron will endeavor in good faith to mutually agree on (i) acceptable indices for such Product, and (ii) a settlement payment from one Party to the other sufficient to compensate the relevant Party for the relative costs and benefits to each of the differences in value between the prior indices and the amended indices.

ARTICLE 9
ANCILLARY COSTS; MONTH END INVENTORY;
CERTAIN DISPOSITIONS

9.1 Ancillary Costs.

(a) The Company agrees to reimburse Aron for all Ancillary Costs incurred by Aron (regardless of whether the Crude Oil and/or Products to which any such Ancillary Costs related have been received by or delivered to any Party). Such reimbursement shall occur on a monthly basis as part of the monthly true-up in Section 10.3 below, except that Aron may require that any such Ancillary Costs be reimbursed on demand in the event that (i) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) upon the Expiration Date of the Agreement or (iii) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Ancillary Costs at any time exceeds $[***], but only in respect of such excess. Aron shall promptly provide the Company with copies of all invoices for Ancillary Costs incurred by Aron. All refunds or adjustments of any type received by Aron related to any Ancillary Costs shall be reflected in the Monthly True-up Amount as provided in Section 10.3 below.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, if Aron has reasonably determined (based on its experience in any one or more of the three (3) preceding months) that it expects the amount of Ancillary Costs for an upcoming month to exceed $[***] Aron may require that its estimate of such Ancillary Costs (to the extent of such excess) be paid in equal installments as part of each Net Payment made during such month, with the actual amount of such Ancillary Costs (net of such estimated payment) to be incorporated as a component of the Monthly True-up Amount payable in the next month.

9.2 Month End Inventory.

(a) As of 11:59:59 p.m., CPT, on the last day of each month, the Company shall apply the Volume Determination Procedures to the Crude Storage Tanks, the Included Supplemental Facilities, the Product Storage Tanks and the Other Included Crude Locations, and based thereon shall determine for such month (i) the aggregate volume of Crude Oil held in the Crude Storage Tanks and Other Included Crude Locations at that time minus the Baseline Volume for Crude Oil (the “Actual Month End Crude Volume”), which may be positive, negative or zero and (ii) for each Product, the aggregate volume of such Product held in the Product Storage Tanks and the Included Supplemental Facilities at that time minus the Baseline Volume for such Product (each, an “Actual Month End Product Volume”), which may be positive, negative or zero. The Company shall notify Aron of the Actual Month End Crude Volume and each Actual Month End Product Volume by no later than 5:00 p.m., CPT on the tenth day thereafter, except that with respect to volume information provided by third parties, the Company shall endeavor to cause third parties to provide such information to Aron by the fifteenth (15th) day after the end of such month

(b) Aron may, or may have Supplier’s Inspector, witness all or any aspects of the Volume Determination Procedures as Aron shall direct. If, in the judgment of Aron or Supplier’s Inspector, the Volume Determination Procedures have not been applied correctly,

then the Company will cooperate with Aron, or Supplier’s Inspector, to ensure the correct application of the Volume Determination Procedures, including making such revisions to the Actual Month End Crude Volume and any Actual Month End Product Volume as may be necessary to correct any such errors.

9.3 Disposition Following Force Majeure.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if Aron decides or is required, due to an event of Force Majeure affecting either Party or otherwise, to sell to any unrelated third parties, in arm’s length transactions, any quantities of Crude Oil that, based on the then current Monthly Crude Forecast or Weekly Projection, Aron would reasonably have expected to have sold to the Company (any quantity of Crude Oil so disposed of by Aron being referred to as a “Disposed Quantity”), then the Company shall be obligated to pay to Aron an amount equal to the difference between the value at which such Disposed Quantity would have been sold to the Company, minus the amount realized in the sale to a third party (the “Disposition Amount”). In no event shall the Disposed Quantity exceed the aggregate amount of Crude Oil that the Company would have been expected to purchase based on their current Monthly Crude Forecast or Weekly Projection for the period during which the Company is unable to take delivery of Crude Oil as the result of the Force Majeure event or otherwise.

(b) In connection with its selling any Disposed Quantity, Aron shall promptly determine the Disposition Amount and issue to the Company an invoice for such amount. The Company shall pay to Aron the invoiced amount no later than the second Business Day after the date of such invoice. If, in connection with the sale of any Disposed Quantity, the Disposition Amount is a negative number, then Aron shall pay the amount of such excess to the Company no later than the second Business Day after the date of such invoice.

9.4 Tank Maintenance.

(a) Promptly after the Company completes its annual business plan with respect to any year, it shall notify Aron of any tank maintenance contemplated with respect to such year that would result in any Crude Storage Tank or Product Storage Tank being unavailable for use by Aron. The Company immediately shall notify Aron orally (followed by prompt written notice) of any previously unscheduled downtime or maintenance of any Crude Storage Tank or Product Storage Tank and its expected duration.

(b) The Company shall give Aron at least two (2) months’ prior written notice of any maintenance that the Company intends to conduct on any of the Crude Storage Tanks or Product Storage Tanks that would result in such storage tank being taken out of service (“Tank Maintenance”). The Parties agree to cooperate with each other in establishing the start date for any such maintenance so as to not unnecessarily interfere with any of Aron’s purchase or sale commitments or to otherwise accommodate, to the extent reasonably practicable, other commercial or market considerations that Aron deems relevant.

(c) In connection with any Tank Maintenance, the Parties shall promptly consult and endeavor to agree on adjusted inventory minimum and maximum levels and other

appropriate adjustments hereunder that are to apply during the period of such Tank Maintenance.

(d) The Company agrees that it will use its best efforts, consistent with good industry standards and practices, to complete (and to cause any third parties to complete) any Tank Maintenance as promptly as practicable. The Company shall provide Aron with an initial estimate of the period of any Tank Maintenance and shall regularly update Aron as to the progress of such Tank Maintenance. If, the Company determines that the expected completion date for Tank Maintenance has or is likely to change by thirty (30) days or more, it shall promptly notify Aron of such determination.

ARTICLE 10
PAYMENT PROVISIONS

10.1 Weekly Net Payments prior to the Third Restatement Adjustment Date. Prior to the Third Restatement Date:

(a) For each Production Week, Aron shall provide the Company with a net settlement statement in connection with each Production Week setting forth (i) the Weekly Supply Value (as defined below) and (ii) the Weekly Product Value (as defined below) as per the scheduled dates to be agreed on or before the Commencement Date. Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Net Payment for any week shall be calculated as set forth in Section 10.1(e) below. Aron shall notify the Company of the Net Payment for a Production Week by the close of business on the first Business Day following such Production Week. The Net Payment for any Production Week shall be due from the Party owing such amount on the applicable Payment Date specified on Schedule G hereto; provided that in no event shall payment be due earlier than two (2) Business Days after Aron has provided notification of the Net Payment for a Production Week.

(b) If a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Non-Defaulting Party may, at its option and without limiting any other rights or remedies it may have hereunder or otherwise, suspend the requirement under Section 10.1(a) that payments be made weekly on a net basis and in lieu thereof the Defaulting Party shall be required to pay all amounts upon demand.

(i) Using the Tank Balance Volume Report and Alon Other Barrel Report provided by the Company, Aron will calculate the “Crude Consumption Volume” for each Crude Storage Tank as follows: Beginning Inventory plus Receipts minus Ending Inventory minus Other Barrels, each as reflected on the Tank Balance Volume Report and Alon Other Barrel Report (as shown on Schedule H). To obtain the “Daily Crude Consumption Volume” Aron will sum the Crude Consumption Volumes for the Crude Oil Group. The “Weekly Consumption Volume” shall be equal to the sum of the Daily Crude Consumption Volumes for each day in the Production Week.

(ii) Aron will use the Contract Nominations for the respective Delivery Month to allocate the Weekly Consumption Volume among those crude grades included in the Contract Nominations. For each crude grade so nominated, Aron will determine a “Grade Percentage” which shall be equal to the nominated volume of such crude grade divided by the total volume of crude nominated.

(iii) The “Weekly Grade Value” shall be an amount equal to (1) the Weekly Consumption Volume, multiplied by (2) the applicable Grade Percentage, multiplied by (3) the applicable Weekly Price, as set forth on Schedule B, plus $[***] per Barrel, multiplied by (4) negative one “-1”. If for such month Aron does not enter any Crude Oil Procurement Contracts, the Weekly Price will equal the sum of the closing settlement price on the New York Mercantile Exchange for the first nearby Light Crude Futures contract for the trading days in the relevant invoice period, as outlined on Schedule G.

(iv) The “Weekly Supply Value” shall be an amount equal to sum of all applicable Weekly Grade Values for the Production Week.

(d) As used herein, the “Weekly Product Value” shall be calculated as follows:

(i) Using the Tank Balance Volume Report provided by the Company, Aron will calculate the “Production Volume” for each Product Storage Tank as follows: Ending Inventory plus Sales (determined on a net volume basis) minus Beginning Inventory, each as reflected on the Tank Balance Volume Report. To obtain the “Daily Production Volume” for each Product Group, Aron will sum the Production Volumes for each of the applicable Product Storage Tanks. The “Weekly Production Volume” shall be equal to the sum of the Daily Production Volumes by Product Group for each day in the Production Week.

(ii) For each Product Group, the “Weekly Product Value” shall be an amount equal to (1) the Weekly Production Volumes, multiplied by (2) the applicable Weekly Price, as set forth on Schedule B.

(iii) The “Total Weekly Product Value” shall be an amount equal to the sum of all applicable Weekly Product Values for all Product Groups for the Production Week.

(e) The “Net Payment” for any Production Week shall be an amount equal to the sum of (1) the Total Weekly Product Value and (2) the Weekly Supply Value. If this is a negative amount, the absolute value will represent an amount payable to Aron and if this is a positive amount, it will represent an amount payable to the Company.

10.2 Daily Net Payments on and after the Third Restatement Adjustment Date. On and after the Third Restatement Date:

(a) For each day, Aron shall provide the Company with a net settlement statement in connection with such day setting forth (i) the Daily Supply Value (as defined below) and (ii) the Daily Product Value (as defined below) as per the dates specified on Schedule G hereto. Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Net Payment for any day shall be calculated as set forth in Section 10.2(d) below.

(b) As used herein, the “Daily Supply Value” shall be calculated as follows:

(ii) Aron will use the Contract Nominations for the respective Delivery Month to allocate the Daily Crude Consumption Volume among those crude grades included in the Contract Nominations. For each crude grade so nominated, Aron will determine a “Grade Percentage” which shall be equal to the nominated volume of such crude grade divided by the total volume of crude nominated.

(iii) The “Daily Grade Value” shall be an amount equal to (1) the Daily Crude Consumption Volume, multiplied by (2) the applicable Grade Percentage, multiplied by (3) the applicable Daily Value, as set forth on Schedule B, multiplied by (4) negative one “-1”. If for such month Aron does not enter any Crude Oil Procurement Contracts, the Daily Value will equal the sum of the closing settlement price on the New York Mercantile Exchange for the first nearby Light Crude Futures contract for the trading days in the relevant invoice period, as outlined on Schedule G.

(iv) The “Daily Supply Value” for any day shall be an amount equal to applicable Daily Grade Values for such day.

(ii) For each Product Group, the “Daily Product Value” shall be an amount equal to (1) the Daily Production Volumes, multiplied by (2) the applicable Daily Value, as set forth on Schedule B.

(iii) The “Total Daily Product Value” for any day shall be an amount equal to the sum of all applicable Daily Product Values for all Product Groups for such day.

(d) The “Net Payment” for any day shall be an amount equal to the sum of (1) the Total Daily Product Value and (2) the Daily Supply Value. If this is a negative amount, the absolute value will represent an amount payable to Aron and if this is a positive amount, it will represent an amount payable to the Company.

(e) For each day, Aron shall determine the Total Daily Product Value and the Daily Supply Value, in a commercially reasonable manner based on the inventory data and otherwise in the manner contemplated by this Section 10.2 and Schedule G, and to the extent it deems appropriate taking into account such other data as may be relevant to the determination of such estimates.

(f) If Aron advises the Company of a Net Payment on any Business Day, then the Company shall be obligated to pay such Net Payment to Aron on the following Business Day.

10.3 Monthly True-Up Amount.

(a) Aron will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Company, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the end of any calendar month, a calculation and appropriate documentation to support such calculation for such month for a monthly true-up payment (the “Monthly True-up Amount”).

(x) The Price Adjustment Settlement Amount calculated in accordance with Schedule GG, if applicable, which, if positive, shall be due from Aron to the Company and, if negative, shall be due from the Company to Aron.

If the Monthly True-up Amount is a positive number, such amount shall be due from Aron to the Company, and if the Monthly True-up Amount is a negative number, then the absolute value thereof shall be due from the Company to Aron.

The amounts determined and payable under this Section10.3(c) shall be

included as part of the Monthly True-Up Amounts for May 2020 and June 2020, which shall be payable in June 2020 and July 2020, respectively.

(d) Prior to the Third Restatement Adjustment Date, if Aron determines that there has been a significant level of sales or of exchange volumes such that calculations of the Base Price and Procurement Price (as defined on Schedule B) produce a skewed price, Aron shall notify the Company thereof. If Aron and the Company are unable to agree on a Base Price by the last business day of an applicable calendar month, the Base Price and Procurement Price for such month will be equal to the Alternate Price (as defined below).

(i) The “Alternate Price” for each calendar month equals: [***]

ARTICLE 16
FORCE MAJEURE

16.1 If a Party is rendered unable by an event of Force Majeure to perform in whole or in part any obligation or condition of this Agreement (the “Affected Party”), it shall not be liable to the other Party to perform such obligation or condition (except for payment and indemnification obligations) for so long as the event of Force Majeure exists and to the extent that performance is hindered by such event of Force Majeure; provided, however, that the Affected Party shall use any commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove the event of Force Majeure. During the period that performance by the Affected Party of a part or whole of its obligations has been suspended by reason of an event of Force Majeure, the other Party (the “Non-Affected Party”) likewise may suspend the performance of all or a part of its obligations to the extent that such suspension is commercially reasonable, except for any payment and indemnification obligations. The Parties acknowledge that if, as a result of a Force Majeure, the Company were to suspend its receipt and/or processing of Crude Oil, then Aron would be entitled to suspend, to a comparable extent, its purchasing of Products.

16.2 The Affected Party shall give prompt oral notice to the Non-Affected Party of its declaration of an event of Force Majeure, to be followed by written notice within twenty-four (24) hours after receiving notice of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event, including, to the extent feasible, the details and the expected duration of the Force Majeure event and the volume of Crude Oil or Products affected. The Affected Party also shall promptly notify the Non-Affected Party when the event of Force Majeure is terminated. However, the failure or inability of the Affected Party to provide such notice within the time periods specified above shall not preclude it from declaring an event of Force Majeure.

16.3 In the event the Affected Party’s performance is suspended due to an event of Force Majeure in excess of thirty (30) consecutive days after the date that notice of such event is given, and so long as such event is continuing, the Non-Affected Party, in its sole discretion, may terminate or curtail its obligations under this Agreement affected by such event of Force Majeure (the “Affected Obligations”) by giving notice of such termination or curtailment to the Affected Party, and neither Party shall have any further liability to the other in respect of such Affected Obligations to the extent terminated or curtailed, except for the rights and remedies previously accrued under this Agreement, any payment and indemnification obligations by either Party under this Agreement and the obligations set forth in Article 19.

16.4 If any Affected Obligation is not terminated pursuant to this Article 16 or any other provision of this Agreement, performance shall resume to the extent made possible by the end or amelioration of the event of Force Majeure in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Term of this Agreement shall not be extended.

16.5 The Parties acknowledge and agree that the right of Aron to declare a Force Majeure based upon any failure by a Third Party Supplier to deliver Crude Oil under a Procurement Contract is solely for purposes of determining the respective rights and obligations as between Aron and the Company with respect to any Crude Oil delivery affected thereby, and any such declaration shall not excuse the default of such Third Party Supplier under one or more Procurement Contracts. Any

claims that Aron may have as a result of such Third Party Supplier’s failure shall be subject to Section 5.9 hereof and any other applicable provisions of this Agreement relating to claims against third parties.

16.6 If at any time during the Term any of the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements cease to be in effect (in whole or in part) or any of the applicable Included Locations cease, in whole or in part, to be available to Aron pursuant to the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements, and the foregoing is a result of or attributable to any owner or operator of such Included Location becoming Bankrupt or breaching or defaulting in any of its obligations relating to the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements, then:

(a) The Company shall promptly use commercially reasonable efforts to establish for Aron’s benefit alternative and/or replacement storage and transportation arrangements no less favorable to Aron (in Aron’s reasonable judgment) than those that have ceased to be available;

(b) Until such alternative and/or replacement arrangements complying with clause (a) above have been established, each Party shall be deemed to have been affected by an event of Force Majeure and its obligations under this Agreement shall be curtailed to the extent such performance is hindered by such lack of effectiveness of any Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements or the availability of any pipeline or storage facility related thereto; and

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall Aron have any obligation under or in connection with this Agreement to store Crude Oil or Product in any pipeline or store Crude Oil or Product in any storage facility at any time from and after the owner or operator thereof becoming Bankrupt. If any such storage facility is an Included Location then Aron may, in its discretion, elect upon written notice to the Company that such storage facility shall cease to be an Included Location as of a date specified in such written notice in which case any Crude Oil or Product held by Aron therein shall be purchased by the Company in accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 hereof.

18.2 Remedies Upon Event of Default.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Event of Default with respect to the Company, on the one hand, or Aron, on the other hand (such defaulting Party, the “Defaulting Party”) has occurred and is continuing, Aron (where the

Company is the Defaulting Party) or the Company (where Aron is the Defaulting Party) (such non-defaulting Party or Parties, the “Non-Defaulting Party”) may, without notice, (i) declare all of the Defaulting Party’s obligations under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, all without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Defaulting Party (except that in the case of any Event of Default under Section 18.1(d), all such obligations shall automatically and without any such declaration become forthwith due and payable) and/or (ii) subject to Section 18.2(c), exercise any rights and remedies provided or available to the Non-Defaulting Party under this Agreement or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC and as provided under this Section 18.2. It is expressly agreed that all such obligations shall be due and payable as a result of any acceleration pursuant to this Section 18.2, including (without limitation) in the case of any automatic acceleration resulting from an Event of Default under Section 18.1(d) and all such obligations shall survive and continue to be due and payable following an Event of Default under Section 18.1(d).

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Defaulting Party, the Non-Defaulting Party shall have the right, immediately and at any time(s) thereafter, to terminate this Agreement (and any other contract or agreement that may then be outstanding among the Parties that relates specifically to this Agreement, including any Transaction Document) and, subject to Section 18.2(c), to liquidate and terminate any or all rights and obligations under this Agreement (except that in the case of any Event of Default under Section 18.1(d), this Agreement shall automatically and without any notice be terminated); provided that, in the event Aron is the Non-Defaulting Party, this Agreement shall not be deemed to have terminated in full until Aron shall have disposed of all Crude Oil and Products owned or maintained by Aron in connection herewith. The Settlement Amount (as defined below) shall be calculated in a commercially reasonable manner based on such liquidated and terminated rights and obligations and shall be payable by one Party to the other. The “Settlement Amount” means the amount, expressed in U.S. Dollars, of losses and costs that are or would be incurred by the Non-Defaulting Party (expressed as a positive number) or gains that are or would be realized by the Non-Defaulting Party (expressed as a negative number) as a result of the liquidation and termination of all rights and obligations under this Agreement. The determination of the Settlement Amount shall include (without duplication): (x) the losses and costs (or gains) incurred or realized (and determined in a commercially reasonable manner) by the Non-Defaulting Party in terminating, transferring, redeploying or otherwise modifying any outstanding Procurement Contracts and (y) the losses and costs (or gains) incurred or realized (and determined in a commercially reasonable manner) by the Non-Defaulting Party with respect to Crude Oil and Product inventories maintained for purposes of this Agreement which shall be determined by the Non-Defaulting Party as follows: (1) Aron will, subject to Sections 7.3 and 7.4, project Target Month End Crude Volumes and Target Month End Product Volumes for all months occurring from the date on which the Non-Defaulting Party terminates this Agreement or commences exercising its remedies following such Event of Default (the “Remedies Exercise Date”) to the earlier of the Expiration Date set forth in Section 3.1 or, if elected by either Party, any other date as of which either Party would have been entitled to terminate this Agreement under

Section 3.2 but only if such Party notifies the other Party of such election within 3 Business Days after the Remedies Exercise Date (the earliest of such Expiration Date and any such date elected by a Party being the “Pro Forma Expiration Date”) and (2) in accordance with clause (c) below, the Non-Defaulting Party shall value, and determine the net amount that would have been owing from one Party to the other based on, all purchases and sales of Crude Oil and Products that would have resulted from such projected Target Month End Crude Volumes and Target Month End Product Volumes through the Pro Forma Expiration Date (including a final sale of all remaining inventories), which net amount shall be discounted to present value on a commercially reasonable basis and constitute the amount due under this clause (y). If the Settlement Amount is a positive number it shall be due to the Non-Defaulting Party and if it is a negative number, the absolute value thereof shall be due to the Defaulting Party.

(c) The Settlement Amount shall be determined by the Non-Defaulting Party, acting in good faith, in a commercially reasonable manner. The Non-Defaulting Party shall determine the Settlement Amount commencing as of the date on which such termination occurs by reference to such futures, forward, swap and options markets as it shall select in its commercially reasonable judgment; provided that the Non-Defaulting Party is not required to effect such terminations and/or determine the Settlement Amount on a single day, but rather may effect such terminations and determine the Settlement Amount over a commercially reasonable period of time. In calculating the Settlement Amount, the Non-Defaulting Party shall discount to present value (in any commercially reasonable manner based on London interbank rates for the applicable period and currency) any amount which would be due at a later date and shall add interest (at a rate determined in the same manner) to any amount due prior to the date of the calculation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that for purposes of determining the Settlement Amount: (1) any fixed fee amounts (including those provided for under Section 10.4) shall be the amount of such fee that would have accrued through the Pro Forma Expiration Date; (2) for the period following the Remedies Exercise Date, no Crude Oil per Barrel fees as provided in Section 6.2 shall be included in the Settlement Amount except with respect to Barrels of Crude Oil actually processed at the Refinery following such date; (3) to the extent the Fee Letter provides for the calculation of any amount to be included in the Settlement Amount, the provisions of the Fee Letter shall be controlling for such purpose; and (4) to the extent the Non-Defaulting Party deems it commercially reasonable to do so, it may in referencing prices in the futures, forward, swap and options markets for purposes of calculating various elements of the Settlement Amount endeavor to align the dates as of which such reference prices are determined.

(d) Without limiting any other rights or remedies hereunder, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Aron is the Non-Defaulting Party, Aron may, in its discretion, (i) withhold or suspend its obligations, including any of its delivery or payment obligations, under this Agreement, (ii) withdraw from storage any and all of the Crude Oil and/or Products then in the Storage Facilities by the Company, any of its Affiliates or any other parties on behalf of the Company or any such Affiliate, (iii) otherwise arrange for the disposition of any Crude Oil and/or Products subject to outstanding Procurement Contracts

and/or the modification, settlement or termination of such outstanding Procurement Contracts in such manner as it elects and (iv) liquidate in a commercially reasonable manner any credit support or other margin or collateral, to the extent not already in the form of cash (including making a demand under the Guarantee, the S&O Party Guarantee or any credit support, margin or collateral arrangements) and apply and set off such credit support, margin or collateral or the proceeds thereof or payment under the Guarantee against any obligation owing by the Company to Aron. Aron shall be under no obligation to prioritize the order with respect to which it exercises any one or more rights and remedies available hereunder. The Company shall in all events remain liable to Aron for any amount payable by the Company in respect of any of its obligations remaining unpaid after any such liquidation, application and set off.

(e) Without limiting any other rights or remedies hereunder, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Company is the Non-Defaulting Party, the Company may, in its discretion, (i) withhold or suspend its obligations, including any of its delivery or payment obligations, under this Agreement and/or (ii) otherwise arrange for the settlement or termination of the Parties’ outstanding commitments hereunder, the sale in a commercially reasonable manner of Crude Oil and/or Product for Aron’s account, and the replacement of the supply and offtake arrangement contemplated hereby with such alternative arrangements as it may procure.

(f) The Non-Defaulting Party shall set off (i) the Settlement Amount (if due to the Defaulting Party), plus any performance security (including the Guarantee, the S&O Party Guarantee or any credit support, margin or collateral) then held by the Non-Defaulting Party pursuant to the Transaction Documents, plus (at the Non-Defaulting Party’s election) any or all other amounts due to the Defaulting Party hereunder (including under Article 10), against (ii) the Settlement Amount (if due to the Non-Defaulting Party), plus any performance security (including the Guarantee or any credit support, margin or collateral) then held by the Defaulting Party, plus (at the Non-Defaulting Party’s election) any or all other amounts due to the Non-Defaulting Party hereunder (including under Article 10), so that all such amounts shall be netted to a single liquidated amount payable by one Party to the other (the “Liquidated Amount”). The Party with the payment obligation shall pay the Liquidated Amount to the applicable other Parties within one Business Day after such amount has been determined.

(g) No delay or failure on the part of the Non-Defaulting Party in exercising any right or remedy to which it may be entitled on account of any Event of Default shall constitute an abandonment of any such right, and the Non-Defaulting Party shall be entitled to exercise such right or remedy at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(h) The Non-Defaulting Party’s rights under this Section shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or exclusion of, any other rights which the Non-Defaulting Party may have (whether by agreement, operation of law or otherwise), including any rights of recoupment, setoff, combination of accounts or other rights under any credit support that may from time to time be provided in connection with this Agreement. The Defaulting Party

shall indemnify and hold the Non-Defaulting Party harmless from all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred in the exercise of any remedies hereunder.

(i) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Non-Defaulting Party may, without limitation on its rights under this Section, set off amounts which the Defaulting Party owes to it against any amounts which it owes to the Defaulting Party (whether hereunder, under any other contract or agreement or otherwise and whether or not then due).

(j) The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is intended to be a “master netting agreement” as such term is defined in section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code. As used in this Section 18.2, unless otherwise expressly provided, each reference to “this Agreement” shall, and shall be deemed to be, a reference to “this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.”

(k) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event the obligation under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their maturity date, in each case, in respect of any Event of Default with respect to the Company (including, but not limited to, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default arising under Section 18.1(d)), (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), any amounts that would have become due hereunder or thereunder on the date of such acceleration or otherwise with respect to any early termination hereof (whether or not as a result of an Event of Default) also be due and payable as though such early termination had occurred and shall be part of the Obligations. Any such amount payable shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by Aron as the result of the early termination and the Company agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING AMOUNTS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Company expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) all such amounts are reasonable and the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) such amounts shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Parties hereto giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay such amounts; and (D) the Company shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Company expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay such amounts to Aron as herein described is a material inducement to Aron to enter into this Agreement.

18.3 U.S. Resolution Stay Provisions.

(a) Recognition of U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(i) In the event that Aron becomes subject to a proceeding under (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder or Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder (a “U.S. Special Resolution Regime”) the transfer from Aron of this Agreement, the Inventory Sales Agreements and any obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, Inventory Sales Agreement and, if in effect, the Step-out Inventory Sales Agreement (collectively, the “Safe Harbor Agreements”), and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, the Safe Harbor Agreements were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(ii) In the event that Aron or an Affiliate becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, any Default Rights (as defined in 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable (“Default Rights”)) under any Safe Harbor Agreement that may be exercised against Aron are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if a Safe Harbor Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) Limitation on Exercise of Certain Default Rights Related to an Affiliate’s Entry into Insolvency Proceedings. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that:

(i) In the event that Aron or an Affiliate becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the Company shall not be permitted to exercise any Default Right with respect to a Safe Harbor Agreement or any Credit Enhancement, in each case, that is related, directly or indirectly, to an Affiliate of Aron becoming subject to any insolvency or liquidation proceeding, except to the extent that the exercise of such Default Right would be permitted under the provisions of 12 C.F.R. 252.84, 12 C.F.R. 47.5 or 12 C.F.R. 382.4, as applicable; and

(ii) In the event that Aron or an Affiliate becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, nothing in any Safe Harbor Agreement shall prohibit the transfer of any Credit Enhancement, any interest or obligation in or under such Credit Enhancement, or any property securing such Credit Enhancement, to a transferee upon or following an Affiliate of Aron becoming subject to an insolvency or liquidation proceeding, unless the transfer would result in the Company being the beneficiary of such Credit Enhancement in violation of any law applicable to the Company.

(c) U.S. Protocol. If the Company adheres to the ISDA 2018 U.S. Resolution Stay Protocol, as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. as of July 31, 2018 (the “ISDA U.S. Protocol”), the terms of the ISDA U.S. Protocol will supersede and replace the terms of this Section 18.3.

(d) For purposes of this Section 18.3, the term “Affiliate” means “Affiliate” as defined in, and interpreted in accordance with 12 U.S.C. § 1841 (k) .

ARTICLE 19
SETTLEMENT AT TERMINATION

19.1 Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason other than as a result of an Event of Default (in which case the Expiration Date or any other date that may be agreed by the Parties shall be the “Termination Date”; provided that if such date is not a Business Day, the Termination Date shall occur on the immediately preceding Business Day), the Parties covenant and agree to proceed as provided in this Article 19; provided that (x) this Agreement shall continue in effect following any Termination Date until all obligations are finally settled as contemplated by this Article 19 and (y) the provisions of this Article 19 shall in no way limit the rights and remedies which the Non-Defaulting Party may have as a result of an Event of Default, whether pursuant to Article 18 above or otherwise:

(a) If any Procurement Contract does not either (i) by its terms (or the terms under which it was originally assigned to Aron) automatically become assigned (or reassigned) to the Company on and as of the Termination Date in a manner which releases Aron from all obligations thereunder for all periods following the Termination Date or (ii) by its terms, expire or terminate on and as of the Termination Date, then the Parties shall promptly negotiate and enter into, with each of the then existing Third Party Suppliers, assignments, assumptions and/or such other documentation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parties, pursuant to which, as of the Termination Date, (i) such Procurement Contract shall be assigned (or reassigned) to the Company or shall be terminated, (ii) all rights and obligations of Aron under each of the then outstanding Procurement Contracts shall be assigned to the Company, (iii) the Company shall assume all of such obligations to be paid or performed following such termination, and (iv) Aron shall be released by such Third Party Suppliers and the Company from any further obligations thereunder. In connection with the assignment or reassignment of any Procurement Contract, the Parties shall endeavor, in a commercially reasonable manner, to facilitate the transitioning of the supply and payment arrangements, including any change in payment terms, under the relevant Procurement Contracts so as to prevent any material disruption in the supply of Crude Oil thereunder.

(b) If, pursuant to the Marketing and Sales Agreement, any sales commitments are outstanding which, by their terms, extend beyond the Termination Date, then the Parties shall promptly negotiate and enter into, with each of the purchasers thereunder, assignments, assumptions and/or such other documentation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parties, pursuant to which, as of the Termination Date, (i) such sales commitments shall be assigned (or reassigned) to the Company or shall be terminated, (ii) all rights and

obligations of Aron with respect to each then outstanding sales commitment shall be assigned to the Company, (iii) the Company shall assume all of such obligations to be paid or performed following such termination, and (iv) Aron shall be released by the purchasers thereunder and the Company from any further obligations with respect to such sales commitments. In connection with the assignment or reassignment of any Procurement Contract, the Parties shall endeavor, in a commercially reasonable manner, to facilitate the transitioning of the Product marketing and sales arrangements so as to prevent any material disruption in the distribution of Products from the Refinery.

(c) In the event that Aron has become a party to any other third party service contract in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any pipeline, terminalling, storage and shipping arrangement, including but not limited to the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements (an “Ancillary Contract”) and such Ancillary Contract does not by its terms expire or terminate on and as of the Termination Date, then the Parties shall promptly negotiate and enter into with each service provider thereunder such instruments or other documentation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parties, pursuant to which as of the Termination Date (i) such Ancillary Contract shall be assigned to the Company or shall be terminated, (ii) all rights and obligations of Aron with respect to each then outstanding Ancillary Contract shall be assigned to the Company, (iii) the Company shall assume all of such obligations to be paid or performed following such termination, and (iv) Aron shall be released by the third party service providers thereunder and the Company from any further obligations with respect to such Ancillary Contract. For each case in which the Company has transferred to Aron for purposes of this Agreement the historical pipeline capacity of the Company on any Included Location or where Aron has been a shipper of record on a pipeline for volumes of Crude Oil or Products shipped by Aron for purposes of this Agreement and as a result of has generated a capacity history based on such shipments, Aron shall, in connection with the occurrence of a Termination Date, endeavor in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner to cause such historical pipeline capacity, including any adjustments to such history based on and attributable to quantities of Crude Oil and/or Products transported by Aron for purposes of this Agreement (“Related Pipeline Capacity”), to be transferred the Company, as directed, in each case subject to any applicable rules, regulations and tariffs; provided that the Company shall reimburse Aron for any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Aron in connection with its endeavoring to effect such transfer. Without limiting the foregoing, Aron agrees, upon request of the Company at any time prior to and after a Termination Date, to cooperate in good faith with the Company to endeavor to cause each Pipeline System at any Included Location to agree and acknowledge that the Related Pipeline Capacity shall be for the benefit of the Company; provided that the Company shall reimburse Aron for any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Aron in connection with its endeavoring to effect such agreement and acknowledgement. Any historical capacity held by Aron that does not constitute Related Pipeline Capacity shall be retained by Aron. In addition, if despite Aron’s commercially reasonable efforts, a Pipeline System will not effect or permit such transfer or the portion of Aron’s historical pipeline capacity constitute Related Pipeline Capacity cannot be identified or allocated, no transfer shall be required with respect to such Pipeline System.

(d) The Parties shall enter into the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement, pursuant to which the volume of Crude Oil and Products in the Storage Tanks, Included Supplemental Facilities, Other Included Crude Locations and any other Included Locations shall be purchased and transferred as contemplated therein. The Crude Oil volumes measured by Supplier’s Inspector at the Termination Date and recorded in Supplier’s Inspector’s final inventory report shall be the “Termination Date Crude Oil Volumes” for the purposes of this Agreement and the Product volumes measured by Supplier’s Inspector at the Termination Date and recorded in Supplier’s Inspector’s final inventory report shall be the “Termination Date Product Volumes” for purposes of this Agreement, and such Termination Date Crude Oil Volumes and Termination Date Product Volumes shall collectively be referred to as the “Termination Date Volumes”.

(e) Aron shall promptly reconcile and determine the Termination Amount pursuant to Section 19.2. The Parties shall promptly exchange all information necessary to determine the estimates and final calculations contemplated by Section 19.2.

(f) Aron shall have no further obligation to purchase and shall not purchase or pay for Crude Oil or Products, or incur any such purchase obligations on and after the Termination Date. Except as may be required for Aron to fulfill its obligations hereunder until the Termination Date or during any obligatory notice period pursuant to any Procurement Contract, Aron shall not be obligated to purchase, take title to or pay for any Crude Oil or Products following the Termination Date or such earlier date as the Parties may determine in connection with the transitioning of such supply arrangements to the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Delivery Date shall occur later than the calendar day immediately preceding the Termination Date.

19.2 Termination Amount.

(a) The “Termination Amount” shall equal:

(i) the Termination Date Purchase Value, which is the aggregate amount payable to Aron under the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement, plus

(ii) all unpaid amounts payable hereunder by the Company to Aron in respect of Crude Oil delivered on or prior to the Termination Date, plus

(iii) all Ancillary Costs incurred through the Termination Date that have not yet been paid or reimbursed by the Company, plus

(iv) in the case of an early termination, the amount reasonably determined by Aron as the breakage costs it incurred in connection with the termination, unwinding or redeploying of all Related Hedges as a result of such early termination, plus

(v) the aggregate amount due under Section 10.2(a), calculated as of the Termination Date with such date being the final day of the last monthly period for

which such calculations are to be made under this Agreement; provided that, if such amount under Section 10.2(a) is due to Aron, then such amount will be included in this Termination Amount as a positive number and if such amount under Section 10.2(a) is due to the Company, then such amount will be included in this Termination Amount as a negative number, plus

(vi) any unpaid portion of the Annual Fee or other fees owed to Aron pursuant to Section 10.8, plus

(vii) any FIFO Balance Final Settlement that is determined to be due pursuant to Schedule N; provided that, if such FIFO Balance Final Settlement is due to Aron, then such amount will be included in this Termination Amount as a positive number and if such amount under Section 10.2(a) would be due to the Company, then such amount will be included in this Termination Amount as a negative number, minus

(viii) all unpaid amounts payable hereunder by Aron to the Company in respect of Product delivered on or prior to the Termination Date, and

(ix) all amounts due from Aron to the Company under the Marketing and Sales Agreement by Aron to the Company for services provided up to the Termination Date.

Without duplication of the foregoing, the Termination Amount shall include all amounts due from one party to the other specified on Schedule U hereto; provided that the Estimated Termination Amount shall include (A) all such amounts due from the Company to Aron and (B) the Non-Holdback Portion, if any, as determined in Section 19.2(b) below and due from Aron to the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the Estimated Termination Amount shall not include the Termination Holdback Amount. All of the foregoing amounts shall be aggregated or netted to a single liquidated amount owing from one Party to the other. If the Termination Amount is a positive number, it shall be due to Aron and if it is a negative number, the absolute value thereof shall be due to the Company.

(b) The Parties acknowledge that one or more of the components of the Termination Amount will not be able to be definitively determined by the Termination Date and therefore agree that Aron shall, in a commercially reasonable manner, estimate each of such components and use such estimated components to determine an estimate of the Termination Amount (the “Estimated Termination Amount”) plus such additional amount which Aron shall reasonably determine (the “Termination Holdback Amount”); provided that the Termination Holdback Amount shall be such portion of the total of all amounts due from Aron to the Company that are listed on Schedule U hereto (the “Maximum Holdback Amount”) as Aron deems appropriate in its commercially reasonable judgment based on the estimation process set forth herein; provided further that, if the Maximum Holdback Amount exceeds the Termination Holdback Amount, such excess shall be referred to as the “Non-Holdback Portion” hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties agree that the amount due under Section 19.2(a)(i) above shall be estimated by Aron in the same manner and using the same methodology as it used in preparing the Estimated

Commencement Date Value, but applying the Step-Out Values as indicated on Schedule B hereto and other price terms provided for herein with respect to the purchase of the Termination Date Volumes. Aron shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare, and provide the Company with, an initial Estimated Termination Amount, together with appropriate supporting documentation, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Termination Date. To the extent reasonably practicable, Aron shall endeavor to update its calculation of the Estimated Termination Amount by no later than 12:00 noon CPT on the Business Day prior to the Termination Date. If Aron is able to provide such updated amount, that amount shall constitute the Estimated Termination Amount and shall be due and payable by no later than 5:00 p.m. CPT on the Business Day preceding the Termination Date. Otherwise, the initial Estimated Termination Amount shall be the amount payable on the Termination Date. If the Estimated Termination Amount is a positive number, it shall be due to Aron and if it is a negative number, the absolute value thereof shall be due to the Company.

(c) Aron shall prepare, and provide the Company with, (i) a statement showing the calculation, as of the Termination Date, of the Termination Amount, (ii) a statement (the “Termination Reconciliation Statement”) reconciling the Termination Amount with the sum of the Estimated Termination Amount pursuant to Section 19.2(b) and the Termination Holdback Amount and indicating any amount remaining to be paid by one Party to the other as a result of such reconciliation. Within one (1) Business Day after receiving the Termination Reconciliation Statement and the related supporting documentation, the Parties will make any and all payments required pursuant thereto. Promptly after receiving such payment, Aron shall cause any filing or recording of any Uniform Commercial Code financing forms to be terminated.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Aron shall not have any obligation to make any payment contemplated by this Section 19.2, transfer of title to Crude Oil or Products or to otherwise cooperate in the transition matters described in Section 19.1 unless the Company shall have performed its obligations under the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement and performed its obligations thereunder as and when required pursuant to the terms thereof.

19.3 Transition Services. To the extent necessary to facilitate the transition to the Purchasers of the storage and transportation rights and status contemplated hereby, each Party shall take such additional actions, execute such further instruments and provide such additional assistance as the other Party may from time to time reasonably request for such purposes.

ARTICLE 20
INDEMNIFICATION

20.1 To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law and except as specified otherwise elsewhere in the Transaction Documents, Aron shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates, and their directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and contractors for and against any Liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of (i) any breach by Aron of any covenant or agreement contained herein or made in connection herewith or any representation

or warranty of Aron made herein or in connection herewith proving to be false or misleading, (ii) any failure by Aron to comply with or observe any Applicable Law, (iii) Aron’s negligence or willful misconduct, or (iv) injury, disease, or death of any person or damage to or loss of any property, fine or penalty, any of which is caused by Aron or its employees, representatives, agents or contractors in exercising any rights or performing any obligations hereunder or in connection herewith, except to the extent that any Liability arising under clause (iv) has resulted from the negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Company, its Affiliates or any of their respective employees, representatives, agents or contractors.

20.2 To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law and except as specified otherwise elsewhere in this Agreement, the Company shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Aron, its Affiliates, and their directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and contractors for and against any Liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of (i) any breach by the Company of any covenant or agreement contained herein or made in connection herewith or any representation or warranty of the Company made herein or in connection herewith proving to be false or misleading, including, without limitation the Company’s obligation for payment of taxes pursuant to Section 14.1, (ii) the Company’s transportation, handling, storage, refining or disposal of any Crude Oil or the products thereof, including any conduct by the Company on behalf of or as the agent of Aron under the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements, (iii) the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations under the terminalling, pipeline and lease agreements underlying the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements, (iv) the Company’s negligence or willful misconduct, (v) any failure by the Company to comply with or observe any Applicable Law, (vi) 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 Company or its employees, representatives, agents or contractors in exercising any rights or performing any obligations hereunder or in connection herewith, (vii) actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Substances in connection with the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or any liability under any Environmental Law related in any way to or asserted in connection with the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby or (viii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Company, and regardless of whether J. Aron is a party thereto, except to the extent that any Liability arising under clause (vi), (vii) or (viii) above has resulted from the negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Aron, its Affiliates or any of their respective employees, representatives, agents or contractors.

20.3 The Parties’ obligations to defend, indemnify, and hold each other harmless under the terms of the Transaction Documents shall not vest any rights in any third party (whether a Governmental Authority or private entity), nor shall they be considered an admission of liability or responsibility for any purposes other than those enumerated in the Transaction Documents.

20.4 Each Party agrees to notify the other as soon as practicable after receiving notice of any claim or suit brought against it within the indemnities of this Agreement, shall furnish to the other the complete details within its knowledge and shall render all reasonable assistance requested by the other in the defense; provided, that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder, except to the extent that the indemnifying Party is materially

adversely affected by such failure. Each Party shall have the right but not the duty to participate, at its own expense, with counsel of its own selection, in the defense and settlement thereof without relieving the other of any obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume responsibility for and control of any judicial or administrative proceeding if such proceeding involves an Event of Default by the indemnifying Party under this Agreement which shall have occurred and be continuing.

ARTICLE 21
LIMITATION ON DAMAGES

Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Parties’ liability for damages is limited to direct, actual damages only (which include any amounts determined under Article 18) and neither Party shall be liable for specific performance, lost profits or other business interruption damages, or special, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or indirect damages, in tort, contract or otherwise, of any kind, arising out of or in any way connected with the performance, the suspension of performance, the failure to perform, or the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that, such limitation shall not apply with respect to (i) any third party claim for which indemnification is available under this Agreement or (ii) any breach of Article 23. Each Party acknowledges the duty to mitigate damages hereunder.

ARTICLE 22

The right to inspect or audit such records shall survive termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years following the Termination Date.
