Consideration for the services provided hereunder effective as of the SJV System Drop Down Closing Date shall be an administrative fee (the “Administrative Fee”) of $5,700,000 per year, payable in equal monthly installments on or before the tenth business day of each calendar month, with any partial months prorated.
PBF Energy may increase or decrease the Administrative Fee effective as of January 1 of each calendar year following the Effective Date, by a percentage equal to the change in the Producer Price Index over the previous 12 calendar months or to reflect any increase in the cost of providing centralized corporate services to the Partnership Group due to changes in any law, rule or regulation applicable to PBF Energy or its Affiliates or the Partnership Group, including any interpretation of such laws, rules or regulations, including the rules of any exchange upon which the Partnership Group’s debt or equity is listed or traded, or to reflect any increase in the scope and extent of the services provided to the Partnership Group, provided, however, that the Administrative Fee shall not be decreased below the initial fee provided in this Agreement unless the type or extent of such services materially decreases, subject to the provision in Section 3.1(b) whereby the Parties may mutually agree to reduce the Administrative Fee. The General Partner may agree on behalf of the Partnership to increases in the Administrative Fee in connection with expansions of the operations of the Partnership Group through the acquisition or construction of new assets or businesses.
(b)The Partnership shall have the right to terminate any or all of the services listed on Schedule 3.1(a) to this Agreement, without penalty, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to PBF Energy. In addition, at the end of each calendar year, the Partnership will have the right to submit to PBF Energy a proposal to reduce the amount of the Administrative Fee for the upcoming year if the Partnership believes, in good faith, that the centralized corporate services performed by PBF Energy and its Affiliates for the benefit of the Partnership Group for the upcoming year will not justify payment of the full Administrative Fee for such year. If the Partnership submits such a proposal to PBF Energy, PBF Energy agrees that it will negotiate in good faith with the Partnership to determine if the Administrative Fee for the upcoming year should be reduced and, if so, the amount of such reduction. If the Parties agree that the Administrative Fee for that year should be reduced, then PBF Energy shall thereafter charge such reduced amount. If the Parties cannot agree to the amount of a reduction in the Administrative Fee for that year, then the reduction amount shall become an Arbitrable Dispute and governed in accordance with Section 7.2, provided, however, that the Administrative Fee shall not be decreased below the initial fee provided in this Agreement unless the type or extent of such services materially decreases.

(i)salaries of employees of PBF Energy and its Affiliates who devote more than 50% of their business time to the business and affairs of the Partnership Group, to the extent, but only to the extent, such employees perform services for the Partnership Group, provided that for employees that do not devote substantially all of their business time to the Partnership Group, such expenses shall be based on the annual weighted average of time spent and number of employees devoting services to the Partnership Group;
(ii)the cost of employee benefits relating to employees of PBF Energy and its Affiliates who devote more than 50% of their business time to the business and affairs of the Partnership Group, including 401(k), pension, bonuses and health insurance benefits, to the extent, but only to the extent, such employees perform services for the Partnership Group, provided that for employees that do not devote substantially all of their business time to the Partnership Group, such expenses shall be based on the annual weighted average of time spent and number of employees devoting their services to the Partnership Group;
(iii)any expenses incurred or payments made by PBF Energy and its Affiliates for insurance coverage with respect to the Partnership Assets or the business of the Partnership Group;
(iv)all expenses and expenditures incurred by PBF Energy and its Affiliates, if any, as a result of the Partnership becoming and continuing as a publicly traded entity, including, but not limited to, costs associated with annual and quarterly reports, independent auditor fees, partnership governance and compliance, registrar and transfer agent fees, tax return and Schedule K-1 preparation and distribution, legal fees and independent director compensation;
(v)all sales, use, excise, value added or similar taxes, if any, that may be applicable from time to time with respect to the services provided by PBF Energy and its Affiliates to the Partnership Group pursuant to Section 3.1(a); and

Such reimbursements shall be made on or before the tenth business day of the month following the month such costs and expenses are incurred, other than reimbursements solely related to bonuses for employees of the Sponsor Entities, which shall be reimbursed on or prior to the last business day of the month that such bonuses are paid.

MISCELLANEOUS
7.1Choice of Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. The Parties agree to the venue and jurisdiction of the federal or state courts located in the State of Delaware for the adjudication of all disputes arising out of this Agreement.

7.2Arbitration Provision. Any and all Arbitrable Disputes shall be resolved through the use of binding arbitration using, in the case of an Arbitrable Dispute involving a dispute of an amount equal to or greater than $1,000,000, three arbitrators, and in the case of an Arbitrable Dispute involving a dispute of an amount less than $1,000,000, one arbitrator, in each case in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as supplemented to the extent necessary to determine any procedural appeal questions by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code). If there is any inconsistency between this Section 7.2 and the Commercial Arbitration Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of this Section 7.2 will control the rights and obligations of the Parties. Arbitration must be initiated within the time limits set forth in this Agreement, or if no such limits apply, then within a reasonable time or the time period allowed by the applicable statute of limitations. Arbitration may be initiated by a Party (“Claimant”) serving written notice on the other Party (“Respondent”) that Claimant elects to refer the Arbitrable Dispute to binding arbitration. Claimant’s notice initiating binding arbitration must identify the arbitrator Claimant has appointed. Respondent shall respond to Claimant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Claimant’s notice, identifying the arbitrator Respondent has appointed. If Respondent fails for any reason to name an arbitrator within the 30-day period, Claimant shall petition the American Arbitration Association for appointment of an arbitrator for Respondent’s account. The two arbitrators so chosen shall select a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the second arbitrator has been appointed, and, in the case of an Arbitrable Dispute involving a dispute of an amount less than $1,000,000, such third arbitrator shall act as the sole arbitrator, and the sole role of the first two arbitrators shall be to appoint such third arbitrator. Claimant will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it, and Respondent will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it. The costs of petitioning for the appointment of an arbitrator, if any, shall be paid by Respondent. Claimant and Respondent will each pay one-half of the compensation and expenses of the third arbitrator. All arbitrators must (a) be neutral parties who have never been officers, directors or employees of the Sponsor Entities, the Partnership Group or any of their Affiliates and (b) have not less than seven (7) years’ experience in the energy industry. The hearing will be conducted in the State of Delaware or the Philadelphia Metropolitan area and commence within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third arbitrator. The Sponsor Entities, the Partnership Group and the arbitrators shall proceed diligently and in good faith in order that the award may be made as promptly as possible. Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the decision of the arbitrators will be binding on and non-appealable by the Parties hereto.
