CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY [***], HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS NOT MATERIAL AND WOULD LIKELY CAUSE COMPETITIVE HARM TO THE COMPANY IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.
9. REMEDIES. MPC may, at its option, suspend sale and delivery of Blend-Grade Gasoline and Blend-Grade Distillate in the event of BUYER’s non-compliance with any or all of the requirements of Section 7, Section 8, and Section 10 of this Addendum. MPC may require BUYER to provide reasonable assurances of future, continued compliance as a condition to resuming sale and delivery of Blend-Grade Gasoline and Blend-Grade Distillate. The rights and remedies of the MPC set forth in this Addendum are cumulative and the use of one remedy shall not be taken to exclude or waive the right to use another.
10. INDEMNIFICATION. BUYER agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and hold MPC harmless from any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and litigation expenses), liabilities, losses, claims, causes of action and damages (for injury to or death of any person, or loss or destruction of any property), directly or indirectly resulting or arising from:
(a) the handling, use, storage, distribution, labeling, or sale of Blended Product, BlendGrade Gasoline, or Blend-Grade Distillate subsequent to the delivery thereof to BUYER;
(b) the handling, use, storage, distribution, labeling, or sale of Blended Product;
(c) the conduct of BUYER’s business or the business of any Sublicensee or other party purchasing Blended Product from BUYER; or
(d) the use or condition of the equipment or premises used for the storage, handling and dispensing of Blended Product, Blend-Grade Gasoline, or Blend-Grade Distillate including, but not limited to, use or condition of underground storage tank or lines resulting in groundwater or soil contamination or both, at the Branded Outlets.
The foregoing notwithstanding, BUYER shall not have any obligation to indemnify MPC for any costs, expenses, liabilities, losses, claims, causes of action or damages arising from the sole negligence of MPC, its agents or employees. BUYER’s obligations under this Section 10 are not negated in the event its insurance carrier or carriers provide or deny coverage to either BUYER or MPC. BUYER’s obligations under this Section 10 shall extend to MPC’s affiliates, subsidiaries, parent companies, agents, officers, directors, employees, predecessors and successors.
The provisions of this Section 10 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, the provisions of Section 4.3 of the Supply Agreement.
11. TERMINATION
This Addendum shall terminate upon the termination or non-renewal, within the meaning of PMPA, of the Supply Agreement or the franchise relationship created or embodied by the Product Supply Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, MPC shall have the right, at its sole option, to immediately terminate this Addendum without advance notice of termination, written or otherwise, from MPC.
12. MISCELLANEOUS
(a) Compliance With Laws. BUYER, its agents, and its carriers shall comply with all laws, regulations, and standards applicable to the sale, delivery, transportation, storage, use, and disposition of Blend-Grade Gasoline, Blend-Grade Distillate, and Blended Product, and Buyer shall not deliver, or allow to be delivered, any product that would be in violation of U.S. EPA regulations or state fuel quality regulations applicable to the area where the product is delivered. Buyer shall require similar commitments from its purchasers. Blend-Grade Gasoline and Blend-Grade Distillate are for use as blending components only.
(b) Safety and Health.
