A purchasing variance of *** plus or minus shall apply to the Monthly Volumes (as defined below) as set forth below (“Purchasing Variance”).

Buyer will designate quantities required at each Designated Location (as defined below) on a monthly basis (the “Monthly Volumes”). The initial schedule of Monthly Volumes is attached as Appendix A. Buyer shall purchase and receive from Seller and Seller shall sell and deliver to Buyer *** each month an amount equal to the Monthly Volumes specified for each Designated Location for that month as further specified on Appendix A. A purchasing variance of *** plus or minus shall apply to each of the Monthly Volumes.

Good reason shall include, but not be limited to, a sale of a Designated Location. Buyer’s desire to source biodiesel from another party shall not be considered a good reason.

15. Indemnity: Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its employees and agents (“Buyer Indemnitees”) against any loss, claim, liability (actual or alleged), fine, or expense (including consequential, incidental, lost profits, or punitive damages, and further to include court costs, attorney fees, and litigation expenses) (“Damages”), of any kind (including those based in tort, warranty, or strict liability), to the extent asserted by a third party against the Buyer Indemnitees and arising out of, or in connection with any failure of Seller to comply with this Agreement, or any act or failure to act by Seller in the handling, storage, transportation, or sale of Biodiesel purchased under the Agreement. In responding to such third-party claims, if Seller has acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify Buyer Indemnitees from any such Damages, Seller may select an attorney and may enter into any settlement without affecting this obligation.

Likewise, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its employees and agents (“Seller Indemnitees”) against any Damages, of any kind (including those based in tort, warranty, or strict liability), to the extent asserted by a third party against the Seller Indemnitees and arising out of, or in connection with any failure of Buyer to comply with this Agreement, or any act or failure to act by Buyer in the handling, storage, transportation, or sale of Biodiesel purchased under the Agreement.

is given. Upon giving of such notice to the defaulting party, the non-defaulting party may defer shipments or receipt of deliveries until default is cured by the defaulting party. The right to terminate is in addition to any other remedy that may be available. A waiver of a default in one instance does not extend to any subsequent default. Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve Buyer from payment for all Product delivered prior to such termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement, Buyer shall have no further obligation to take Product pursuant to this Agreement and Seller shall have no further obligation to sell or deliver Product pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 17 or this Agreement, if a specific damage remedy for a default is provided under this Agreement (including without limitation, Section 3) and such damages are timely paid by the defaulting party, then such payment shall constitute cure of the default for the purposes of this Section 17 and the non-defaulting party shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement for such default.

19. *** Both parties shall make all necessary reasonable efforts to ensure that the *** is fully available to the *** of the fuel. However, Seller makes no *** regarding whether *** will ultimately ***.

22. Enforceability: The invalidity or unenforceability of any part of the Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of its remaining provisions.

23. Anti-Waiver: The right of either party to require strict performance by the other of any and/or all the obligations imposed upon the other by the Agreement shall not in any way be affected by any previous waiver, forbearance or course of dealing.

24. Merger: The Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter.

25. Assignment: The Agreement, and any rights or duties under it may not be assigned or delegated by operation of law or otherwise by Seller or Buyer without the prior written consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be permitted to assign its rights and/or obligations under the Agreement without the prior consent of Buyer (a) to another entity, or to Seller’s affiliate or successor (collectively herein “Assignee”), if such Assignee expressly assumes all obligations not otherwise remaining with Seller hereunder, and Seller nonetheless remains responsible hereunder, and (b) to any lender as collateral security for any indebtedness of Seller to such lender, provided, however, that any further assignment by Seller’s lender requires the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
