Unless otherwise provided by Owner in writing, Customer must provide notice reasonably acceptable to Owner (in accordance with Section 13) containing all necessary shipping instructions, including without limitation, the identity and quantity and any other specifications of the Product and the tentative date of delivery to the System (the “Scheduling Notice”). Notwithstanding Section 13, such communication may be effected, with Owner’s consent, by electronic mail or facsimile.
4.3 Subject to the restrictions of Attachment “A”, Owner will deliver to Customer, or to such Third Parties as Customer may direct, the Product held by Owner on the System for the account of Customer at the delivery point requested by Customer.

6
4.4 Owner will provide System gathering, transportation, storage and terminalling services to Customer only with respect to Product. Customer will have access to the System for other products only with prior written notice to and consent by Owner. Any other product approved by Owner will then become part of “Product” as defined in this Agreement. If a special method of providing terminal, storage, gathering, or transportation services is required for Product, then Customer must notify Owner in sufficient time to enable Owner to consider whether, in Owner’s sole discretion, it will accept the proposed changes in the method of delivering the services and to take the necessary preparatory measures if it agrees with such changes. Absent such notice and absent Owner’s written approval with respect to changes in the Product or the method of delivering the services, Owner will not be liable for losses or damage incurred during the gathering, transportation, storage and terminalling of Product, nor will Owner be obligated to provide such special terminal, storage, transportation or gathering service. It is understood that the cost of any additional or special equipment required by Customer or of alterations made necessary by the nature of Product, will be for the account of Customer, and Customer will be responsible for the expense of any necessary cleaning and restoration to their previous condition of the Terminal or storage, transportation, and gathering equipment, including, without limitation, tanks, pipelines, trucks, pumps, hoses, meters, and loading facilities, unless otherwise explicitly stated in this Agreement. All fixtures, equipment and appurtenances attached to the tanks, pipelines, trucks and other facilities of the System will be installed by the Owner and will remain the property of Owner.
4.5 If any Governmental Authority requires installation of any improvement, alteration or addition to any Terminal, tank, truck, pipeline or other equipment on the System for purposes of compliance with Applicable Law, and if the installation would require Owner to make substantial and unanticipated capital expenditures, other than continued maintenance and capital expenditures not affected by such requirement (“Required Compliance Capital Expenditures”), and Owner elects not to make such Required Compliance Capital Expenditure(s) and thus can no longer operate the affected Terminal, tank, truck, pipeline or other equipment on the System needed to provide service on that potion of the System to Customer, Owner will be entitled to terminate service on the affected portion of the System under this Agreement by providing at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Customer. Such notice will specify the services that Owner will no longer provide under this Agreement and the date that such affected services will be terminated.
4.6 Owner will be responsible for providing all tank bottoms and line fill to ensure efficient operation of the System at Owner’s sole cost and expense.
4.7 Owner shall have no liability for not having available capacity in the System to accommodate all of Customer’s Product as a result of System oversubscription, so long as to the extent the System is oversubscribed, Owner will accept a pro rata portion of Customer’s Product on terms which are neither unduly discriminatory nor preferential to terms offered to other shippers.
Section 5. Product Quality Standards and Requirements.
5.1 Customer warrants to Owner that all Product tendered by or for the account of Customer for receipt on the System will conform to the specifications for such Product set forth in Attachment “B”, attached to this Agreement and included in it for all purposes by this reference, and will comply with industry standards and all Applicable Law. Owner may rely upon the specifications and representations of Customer, if any, set forth in the Scheduling Notice described in Section 4.2 as to Product quality. Owner will not be obligated to receive Product into the System that is contaminated or that otherwise fails to meet those specifications, nor will Owner be obligated to accept Product that fails to meet Product grade, if any, set forth in the Scheduling Notice. With prior written consent of Customer (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Owner may remove or dispose of or otherwise treat the Product for any water or other material or contaminants in or associated with the Product at any time and Customer shall pay or reimburse all costs and expense associated with such removal, disposal or treatment.
7
5.2 The quality of Product tendered into the System for Customer’s account may be verified either by Customer’s laboratory analysis, or by an Independent Inspector’s analysis indicating that the Product so tendered meets minimum Product specifications, if any, set forth in the Scheduling Notice. Such analysis may be conducted on a periodic basis in accordance with a quality compliance program implemented by Customer, which program shall be subject to the approval of Owner, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. All costs associated with such compliance program shall be borne by Customer. Upon reasonable notice to Customer, Owner, at its expense, may sample any Product tendered to Owner for Customer’s account for the purpose of confirming the accuracy of the analysis.
5.3 Owner may commingle fungible Products received from or on behalf of Customer with those fungible products of other Third Parties using the System. Each Party may at all reasonable times conduct appropriate tests to determine whether Product meets the specifications set forth in the Scheduling Notice. Owner will be liable to Customer by reason of contamination of Product occurring in the System that causes the Product to fail to meet specifications, but only to the extent such contamination involves a Product Loss. In all other cases, Customer shall indemnify Owner for any Liability incurred by Owner to Parties who purchase Product from Customer.
Section 6. Title and Custody of Product.
6.1 Title to the Product will remain with Customer at all times subject to any lien in favor of Owner created under Applicable Law. Owner will assume custody of the Product at the time such Product passes into the System at the truck, the gathering line meter, the pipeline meter or the flange connection between a Third Party gathering or transportation carrier and that of Owner’s receiving facilities. If Product is delivered to Customer by pipeline, custody of the Product shall pass to Customer when the Product passes the flange connection between Owner’s delivery facilities and that of the connecting pipeline. If Product is delivered to Customer by truck rack, custody of the Product shall pass to Customer when the Product passes the last permanent flange connection between the truck of Customer’s transportation carrier and Owner’s loading assembly.
6.2 Owner shall not cause any lien of any kind, other than under Applicable Law, to be fixed upon or against any Barrels of Product owned by Customer or the proceeds thereof, except as specified in Section 6.1 of this Agreement.

Owner shall otherwise have no responsibility for any loss, damage or injury to persons or property (including the Product) arising out of possession or use of the Product, except to the extent that such loss, damage or injury involves a Product Loss. Customer shall indemnify Owner for any Liability incurred by Owner to Third Parties arising out of Owner’s possession or use of the Product for which Owner is not liable under this paragraph and for any Liability to Third Parties arising out of or pertaining to the Product before its delivery by Customer into the System and after its receipt by Customer from the System.
Section 7. Limitation of Liability and Damages.
7.1 The maximum Liability of Owner for Product Loss will not exceed, and is strictly limited to, the market value of the Product at the time of the Product Loss, plus the costs and expenses actually, reasonably and necessarily incurred by Customer or Customer’s immediate purchaser in damage to equipment into which such Product was delivered from the System, plus any fines and penalties actually levied or imposed by anyone including Governmental Authorities against Customer or Customer’s immediate purchaser by reason of such fault on Owner’s part. Owner may, in lieu of payment for Product, replace such Product with Product of like grade and quality.
7.2 EXCEPT FOR THE PARTIES’ INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS OF THIRD PARTIES, THE PARTIES’ LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES HEREUNDER IS LIMITED TO DIRECT, ACTUAL DAMAGES ONLY, AND NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER 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. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES ITS DUTY TO MITIGATE DAMAGES HEREUNDER.
Section 8. Product Measurement.
8.1 Quantities of Product received into and delivered from the System shall be determined as follows: (i) for pipeline deliveries and receipts, volumes shall be determined by pipeline meters, where applicable, and (ii) for deliveries and receipts by truck, volumes shall be measured by the following methods in order of priority: (x) proven API-approved meters and (y) static terminal tank gauges. Absent fraud or manifest error, the quantities of Product in the System at any time will be determined from System inventory records of receipts and deliveries, as well as from beginning inventory balances. Unless indicated otherwise, quantity determinations will be based on a Barrel of Product and shall be determined in accordance with the latest established API/ASTM standards for the method of delivery. All volumes shall be temperature corrected to 60°F in accordance with the latest supplement or amendment to ASTM-IP petroleum measurement tables (ASTM designated D#1250.table 6(b)). Gauging of Product received, delivered and in storage will be taken jointly by representatives of the Parties; provided, that if Customer does not have representatives present for gauging, Owner’s gauging will be conclusive, absent fraud or manifest error. Customer may use an Independent Inspector at its own expense.
9
8.2 Custody Transfer Meters will be calibrated periodically and after each completion of repair or replacement of a meter at Owner’s expense. Upon reasonable request by Customer, Owner will provide Customer the results of the calibration and will allow Customer to observe the calibration of the meters and gauges. Customer may reasonably request Owner to calibrate Custody Transfer Meters if at least sixty (60) days has passed since the previous calibration. Such calibration shall be in accordance with the latest applicable API/ASTM standards. If a Custody Transfer Meter is determined by either Party to be defective or inoperative, such Party shall immediately notify the other Party in writing, and it will be the responsibility of the Owner to promptly make repairs or replacements. In the event that Product was received into a System facility having a faulty Custody Transfer Meter, the Parties will determine the correct volume of Product received. If the Parties are unable to determine and agree on the correct volume of Product received during the fifteen (15) day period following written notice being provided regarding a defective or inoperative Custody Transfer Meter (“Meter Resolution Period”), they will appoint a mutually acceptable Independent Inspector to determine the correct quantity. If the Parties are unable to agree on a single Independent Inspector within fifteen (15) days after the end of the Meter Resolution Period, then the Parties will each appoint one (1) independent party, who will jointly select a third independent party within thirty (30) days after the end of the Meter Resolution Period, which will collectively constitute the Independent Inspector. The Independent Inspector shall deliver its determination to the Parties within thirty (30) days from the date of its engagement. The Independent Inspector’s report shall be final and binding upon the Parties, except for fraud or manifest error. The cost of the Independent Inspector’s engagement and report shall be shared fifty percent (50%) by Owner and fifty percent (50%) by Customer under this Section 8.2.
Section 9. Product Loss and Product Gain.
9.1 During such time as Owner has custody of the Product pursuant to Section 6, Owner will indemnify Customer against, and is responsible for, any Product Loss that occurs while the Product remains in the System. The total Barrels of Product Loss, if any, will be determined by Owner within fifteen (15) days after the last day of each calendar quarter. Any Product Loss will be promptly replaced by Owner with Product of like grade and quality as that tendered by Customer to Owner or Owner will reimburse Customer the cost of such Product on the determination date thereof.
9.2 Each calendar quarter, Owner will use the measurement procedures set out in Section 8 to determine the net gain or loss of Product in the System, excluding any loss resulting in Product Loss. Owner will notify Customer within fifteen (15) days after the last day of each calendar quarter whether there was a net loss or net gain during such calendar quarter. If Owner notifies Customer of a net loss or net gain, then the Parties will work collaboratively to determine if any statements or invoices for the applicable calendar quarter were inaccurate. If the Parties determine that inaccuracies exist, then Owner will prepare adjusted statements and invoices within ten (10) Business Days after such determination. Any refund or payment reflected on the adjusted invoices will be due and payable by Owner or Customer, as applicable, within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the adjusted invoice. Any disputes regarding the amount of any statements or invoices will be resolved in accordance with Section 2.5 of this Agreement.

Section 10. Force Majeure.
10.1 If either Party is unable to perform or is delayed in performing, wholly or in part, its obligations under this Agreement, other than the obligation to pay funds when due, as a result of an event of Force Majeure, that Party may be excused from such performance by giving the other Party prompt written notice of any event that is or could become an event of Force Majeure with reasonably full particulars thereof. The obligations of the Party giving notice, so far as such obligations are affected by the event of Force Majeure, will be suspended during, but not longer than, the continuance of the event of Force Majeure beginning with the time that the event first occurs. The affected Party must act with commercially reasonable diligence to overcome or remedy the event of Force Majeure and resume performance as quickly as possible. Once the event of Force Majeure is remedied, the affected Party shall notify the other Party that the event of Force Majeure no longer affects such obligations. If Owner is excused from providing service pursuant to this Agreement due to an event of Force Majeure, the fees hereunder, not already due and payable, that are directly affected by such Force Majeure event will be excused or proportionately reduced, on a daily basis, for so long as the Owner’s performance is excused due to the event of Force Majeure.
10.2 The requirement that any Force Majeure event be remedied with all reasonable diligence shall not require the settlement of strikes, lockouts, or other labor difficulty by the Party claiming excuse due to an event of Force Majeure contrary to its wishes.
10.3 If either Party is rendered unable to perform by reason of an event of Force Majeure for a period in excess of thirty (30) days, then the Party not declaring Force Majeure may immediately terminate this Agreement with respect to the portion of the System affected by such Force Majeure event upon written notice to the other Party.
