ARTICLE 5

PURCHASE AND SALE OF CRUDE OIL

5.1 Sale of Crude Oil. On and after the Commencement 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 Aron Procurement Contracts and (c) the Company’s maintenance of the Base Agreements and Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements, if any, and compliance with the terms and conditions hereof, Aron will endeavor, in a commercially reasonable manner, to enter into Aron Procurement Contracts which will accommodate, in the aggregate, monthly deliveries of Crude Oil of up to an average of one-hundred fifty thousand (150,000) Barrels per day and the Company agrees to purchase and receive from Aron all such Crude Oil as provided herein. Aron shall, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, have the right to be the exclusive owner of Crude Oil in the Included Crude Tanks. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Aron, all Crude Oil procured by Aron hereunder shall be delivered to an Included Location.

5.2 Monthly Forecasts and Projections.

(a) No later than the fifth (5th) Business Day of the month preceding a Delivery Month, the Company shall provide Aron with a preliminary written forecast of the Target Month End Crude Volume and Target Month End Product Volume for the Delivery Month. During the first (1st) month of deliveries of Crude Oil made pursuant to this Agreement, the Target Month End Crude Volume and Target Month End Product Volume shall be the amounts set forth on Schedule I.

(b) No later than the fifth (5th) Business Day of the month preceding a Delivery Month, the Company shall provide Aron with a written forecast of the Refinery’s anticipated Crude Oil requirements for the following Delivery Month and the immediately following month (each, a “Monthly Crude Forecast”).

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

(e) The Parties acknowledge that the Company is solely responsible for providing the Monthly Crude Forecast 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; provided, however, the Parties acknowledge and agree that such forecasts and projections are only estimates, and the Company shall have no liability to Aron for any differences between such forecasts and projections provided by Producer in good faith and the actual crude requirements or runs. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) Aron shall be entitled to rely and act, and shall be fully protected in relying and acting, upon all such forecasts and projections, and (ii) 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 may have entered into or novated from the Existing Supplier/Offtaker one or more Aron Procurement Contracts for the purchase of Crude Oil to be processed at the Refinery.

(b) From time to time during the Term of this Agreement, the Company may propose that one or more additional Aron Procurement Contracts be entered into, including any such additional Aron Procurement Contract as may be entered into in connection with the expiration of an outstanding Aron Procurement Contract. If the Parties mutually agree to seek additional Aron Procurement Contracts, then the Company shall endeavor to identify quantities of Crude Oil that may be acquired from one or more Third Party Suppliers under contracts that provide for one or more shipment(s) of Crude Oil. The Company may negotiate with any such Third Party Supplier regarding the price

and other terms of such potential additional Aron Procurement Contract. The Company shall have no authority to bind Aron to, or enter into on Aron’s behalf, any additional Aron 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 Aron Procurement Contract (and if relevant, Procurement Contract Assignment) that the Company wishes to be executed, the Company shall (i) apprise Aron in writing, using the applicable trade sheet included in Schedule Q (the “Crude Procurement Request”), of the terms of such offer, and (ii) arrange to have such Third Party Supplier provide to Aron a confirmation of the applicable terms (which confirmation may be provided over email), and Aron shall promptly, but no later than two (2) Business Days after the Company’s delivery of such applicable trade sheet (at which time the Crude Procurement Request shall terminate), determine and advise the Company as to whether Aron desires to accept such offer (provided that if Aron does not advise the Company within such two (2) Business Day period, Aron shall have been deemed to not 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 Aron Procurement Contract (and if relevant, Procurement Contract Assignment) provided that any additional Aron 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 Aron Procurement Contract or related Procurement Contract Assignment. If any Aron Procurement Contract is a term contract pursuant to which Aron may, from time to time, nominate a shipment by a Nomination Cutoff Date for expected delivery during a designated month, Aron will apprise the Company of such timing requirements relating to such Nomination Cutoff Date. The Company acknowledges that the confirmation of an Aron Procurement Contract with a Third Party Supplier may be effected by Exchanged Confirmations.

(c) Aron may, in its discretion, acting in good faith, elect to reject any such offer to enter into an Aron Procurement Contract, provided that from time to time during the Term hereof Aron shall, upon the reasonable request of the Company, consult with the Company regarding those counterparties that Aron would be prepared to trade with as of the time of such consultation upon review of acceptable documentation as further contemplated herein. Aron’s decision to reject any such offer shall be based on such factors and considerations as Aron deems relevant, which may include (without limitation) the proposed commercial terms, credit considerations (including credit quality and credit limits), reputational considerations, prior or current interactions between Aron and the proposed Third Party Supplier, the presence or absence of trading documentation between Aron and the proposed Third Party Supplier, the presence or absence of a pre-existing trading relationship with the proposed Third Party Supplier or the suitability of the proposed Third Party Supplier for such transaction. Without limiting the foregoing, any proposed Third Party Supplier shall be required to satisfy Aron's internal requirements and policies as they relate to any applicable "know-your-customer" rules,

anti-money laundering policies and procedures, laws, rules and regulations (including without limitation, the Patriot Act, rules and regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control) and other similar client identification and business conduct standard and dealing policies and procedures (including reputational considerations), in each case, as consistently applied by Aron and to have provided to Aron all material documentation and other information required by such policies and procedure and applicable regulatory authorities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Aron shall not reject any such offer to enter into an Aron Procurement Contract with any counterparty based solely on the fact that such offer was presented to it by the Company hereunder where, at such time, Aron would otherwise have transacted with such counterparty on such terms and under all other applicable policies and limitations.

(d) 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 Refinery Procurement Contract to acquire such Crude Oil for the Company’s account, with such Crude Oil constituting Other Barrels pursuant to Section 5.3(g)(ii) below.

(e) With respect to each shipment of Crude Oil delivered under an Aron Procurement Contract and/or a Procurement Contract Assignment that provides for delivery at the SPM Delivery Point, (i) the Company and Aron shall automatically be deemed to have entered into a buy/sell transaction (each, an “SPM Buy/Sell Crude Transaction”) subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the SPM Master Buy/Sell Crude Confirmation, with the Company buying such shipment of Crude Oil from Aron at the SPM Delivery Point (the “Crude Buy Leg”) and selling an equal quantity and quality of Crude Oil to Aron at the Crude Intake Point (the “Crude Sell Leg”), (ii) under the Crude Buy Leg of each SPM Buy/Sell Crude Transaction, the Company shall purchase from Aron the quantity of Crude Oil delivered under the relevant shipment with delivery and transfer of title and risk of loss all occurring at the SPM Delivery Point on the same basis as transfer of title and risk of loss are to occur under the Aron Procurement Contract and/or a Procurement Contract Assignment so that, simultaneously with the transfer of title to such Crude Oil from the Third Party Supplier to Aron, title to such Crude Oil is transferred from Aron to the Company and (iii) under the Crude Sell Leg of such SPM Buy/Sell Crude Transaction, the Company shall sell to Aron Crude Oil in a quantity equal to, and of a grade and quality at least equivalent to, that of the Crude Oil purchased by the Company under the Crude Buy Leg of such SPM Buy/Sell Crude Transaction, with delivery and transfer of title and risk of loss occurring at and as such Crude Oil passes the Crude Intake Point. With respect to each SPM Buy/Sell Crude Transaction, the parties acknowledge and agree that (A) any quantity shortfall, or grade or quality deficiency, with respect to the Crude Oil delivered under the Crude Sell Leg shall be borne by and is solely for the account of the Company, (B) as a result of the foregoing arrangements, title to Crude Oil shall be held exclusively by the Company at all times as and after such Crude Oil passes the SPM Delivery Point, while such Crude Oil is being held in or transported by any subsea hoses, subsea pipelines or other

infrastructure connecting the SPM Delivery Point to the Crude Intake Point and until such Crude Oil passes the Crude Intake Point, (C) all such Crude Oil in which the Company holds title shall be subject to the security interest and lien in favor of Aron under the Lien Documents, (D) for purposes of calculating inventory measurements, determining cash settlements under Sections 10.1 and 10.2 and calculating any fees due hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, quantities of Crude Oil in which the Company has title as contemplated by clause (B) above shall not be counted as quantities of Crude Oil held in an Included Location and (E) for purposes hereof, neither an SPM Buy/Sell Crude Transaction nor the Crude Buy Leg or Crude Sell Leg thereunder shall constitute an Aron Procurement Contract, a Procurement Contract Assignment, or a Refinery Procurement Contract.

(f) For deliveries of Crude Oil not made via the SPM Delivery Point, title for each quantity of Crude Oil shall pass 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 delivery and in accordance with Schedule C.

(g) The following provisions shall be applicable to Refinery Procured Barrels:

(i) No later than the fifth (5th) Business Day of the month preceding a Delivery Month, the Company shall inform Aron whether the Company has purchased or intends to purchase any Crude Oil that is being procured under a Refinery Procurement Contract for delivery during such Delivery Month (“Refinery Procured Barrels”). In connection with each such quantity of Refinery Procured Barrels, the Company shall provide to Aron a trade ticket stating the quantity, grade, pricing and delivery terms of such Refinery Procured Barrels expected to be delivered to the Included Crude Tanks during such Delivery Month and notify Aron if the Company has entered into an Aron Spread Transaction in connection therewith, and, provided no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Company has occurred and is then continuing and the proposed pricing terms stated in such trade ticket are acceptable to Aron in accordance with Section 5.3(c), the Company and Aron shall enter into an Aron Procurement Contract under which Aron shall purchase such quantity from the Company as and when it passes the Crude Intake Point and Aron shall promptly provide to the Company a written confirmation of such Aron Procurement Contract; provided that Aron's agreement to enter into such Aron Procurement Contract shall not constitute an agreement to make any prepayment thereunder which, if requested by the Company, shall be an obligation of Aron only if separately agreed to by Aron in its sole discretion. If any change occurs in the quantity, grade or delivery terms of the Refinery Procured Barrels that the Company expects to procure for delivery during such month, the Company shall promptly advise Aron of such change and the related Aron Procurement Contract shall be modified accordingly. With respect to any such confirmation issued by Aron to the Company in connection

with an Aron Procurement Contract with the Company, if Aron does not receive from the Company either acceptance or notification of a bona fide error within five 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.

(ii) In the event that the Company enters into a Refinery Procurement Contract, but does not enter into a related Aron Procurement Contract pursuant to a trade ticket as contemplated under Section 5.3(g)(i) above, and the Crude Oil procured under such Refinery Procurement Contract is delivered to the Included Crude Tanks (“Other Barrels”), then such Other Barrels shall be deemed sold to Aron as and when they pass the Crude Intake Point at the applicable Pricing Value, provided that prior to the delivery of any Other Barrels hereunder, the Parties shall establish procedures and mechanisms, reasonably satisfactory to Aron, for determining and reporting specific volumes of such Other Barrels. With respect to any Other Barrels that the Company expects to deliver to the Included Crude Tanks, the Company shall give Aron written notice of such expected delivery at least ten (10) Business Days preceding the expected delivery month for such Other Barrels and in such notice the Company shall provide to Aron the quantity, grade and delivery terms of such Other Barrels expected to be delivered. If thereafter any change occurs in the quantity, grade or delivery terms of the Other Barrels that the Company expects to procure for delivery during such month, the Company shall promptly advise Aron of such change.

(h) Concurrently with or promptly after entering into an Aron Procurement Contract pursuant to Section 5.3(b), (i) Aron and the Company may agree to the terms of the intermonth time spread transaction that the Parties have entered into in connection with such Aron Procurement Contract, which (unless otherwise agreed by Aron) shall consist of a time spread based on the period between cargo pricing and the expected delivery month, with pricing based on the first nearby ICE Brent Futures for the Cargo Pricing Window (as defined in Schedule K) and the ICE Brent calendar month swap for the relevant expected delivery month; provided that the Parties agree that each such time spread shall be a “Transaction” under and subject to the Master Agreement and Aron shall issue a confirmation of each such time spread confirming it as a “Transaction” under and subject to the Master Agreement (an “Aron Spread Transaction”) and (ii) if Aron and the Company do not enter into an Aron Spread Transaction, the Company shall enter into an intermonth time spread transaction with a party other than Aron (a “Third Party Spread Transaction”) and promptly notify Aron of such Third Party Spread Transaction and the material terms thereof. The Company shall promptly notify Aron of any Aron Spread Transaction and the material terms thereof. If the Company (i) fails to enter into an Aron Spread Transaction and to notify Aron of a Third Party Spread Transaction or (ii) enters into a Third Party Spread Transaction, then Aron may from time to time require provisional settlement of Aron’s unhedged exposure (as determined by Aron in a commercially reasonable manner) with respect to such Aron Procurement Contract and any prepayment funded by Aron for such Aron Procurement Contract. In

calculating any such provisional settlement, Aron shall take account of all prior provisional settlements made with respect to such Aron Procurement Contract or prepayment. Each such provisional settlement shall be incorporated into an Interim Payment due promptly following Aron’s notice to the Company that such provisional settlement is to be made. The applicable Monthly True-up Amount shall include any additional amount required so that the impact of Aron’s unhedged exposure has been definitely settled as between Aron and the Company.

(i) The Company agrees that all Crude Oil sold to Aron hereunder shall conform to the respective specifications set forth on Schedule A or to such other specifications as are from time to time agreed upon by the Parties.

(j) In the event that (a) a Third Party Supplier relating to an Aron Procurement Contract refunds or remits, or is otherwise obligated to refund or remit, to the Company all or any portion of the amount relating to the Crude Procurement Payment that was previously paid by Aron pursuant to such Aron Procurement Contract, then on or prior to the date that is the earlier of (x) two (2) Business Days after the receipt by the Company of such refund or remittance and (y) fifteen (15) Business Days after obtaining knowledge of such obligation of the counterparty to pay such refund or remittance (unless there is a dispute or claim as between the Company and such counterparty relating to such refund or remittance and the Company and such counterparty are working in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner to resolve such dispute or claim in which case the Company shall keep Aron informed of the status of such dispute or claim), the Company shall remit or cause the remittance to Aron of such amount relating to the Crude Procurement Payment (and, in the case of clause (y) above, irrespective of whether the Company actually received such amount relating to the Crude Procurement Payment), and/or (b) any Refinery Procurement Contract relating to an Aron Procurement Contract is amended or modified such that (x) the quantity of Refinery Procured Barrels to be delivered and sold to the Company under such Refinery Procurement Contract is reduced, the related Aron Procurement Contract shall be amended accordingly so that the corresponding quantity of Refinery Procured Barrels to be delivered and sold to Aron pursuant to such Aron Procurement Contract shall also be reduced on a barrel-for-barrel basis and the Company shall, promptly after such amendment of the Refinery Procurement Contract, pay Aron an amount equal to the portion of the Crude Procurement Payment that was previously paid by Aron pursuant to such Aron Procurement Contract that corresponds with the amount of such reduction in quantity and/or (y) the delivery date under such Refinery Procurement Contract is extended to a date that is greater than fifteen (15) days after the originally agreed delivery date thereunder, Aron may elect, in its sole discretion, (A) to approve such modified delivery date, in which case, the related Aron Procurement Contract shall be modified accordingly or (B) to terminate the related Aron Procurement Contract, in which case the Company shall promptly pay Aron the full amount of the Crude Procurement Payment paid by Aron pursuant to such Aron Procurement Contract.

5.4 Nominations under Aron Procurement Contracts.

(a) Concurrently with its delivery of a Monthly Crude Forecast to Aron, the Company shall provide to Aron the Company’s Target Month End Crude Volume and Target Month End Product Volumes for the related Delivery Month if different from the Target Month End Crude Volume and/or Target Month End Product Volumes for the related Delivery Month previously provided in Section 5.2(a). With respect to each Delivery Month, based on its Projected Monthly Run Volume, Crude Oil volumes then in Included Locations, shipments previously nominated under Aron Procurement Contracts, Other Barrels being delivered under Refinery Procurement Contracts and such other information as it deems relevant, the Company shall determine, in its commercially reasonable judgment, (i) the additional shipments of Crude Oil under Aron Procurement Contracts that the Company desires be delivered to the Included Locations during such Delivery Month and (ii) the aggregate number of shipments of Crude Oil under Aron Procurement Contracts that the Company desires be in transit but not delivered during such Delivery Month. With respect to each shipment under an Aron Procurement Contract that the Company desires be delivered by a specified Delivery Month, the Company shall notify Aron of such shipment at least 15 Business Days prior to the first applicable Nomination Cutoff Date for such month, if any (each, a “Shipment Notification”). 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 Aron Procurement Contracts.

(b) Provided that the Company provides Aron with the Projected Monthly Run Volume and the Shipment Notifications as required under Section 5.4(a), Aron and the Company shall consult regarding scheduling and other selections and nominations (collectively, “Contract Nominations”) to be made by Aron under then outstanding Aron Procurement Contracts on or before any applicable Nomination Cutoff Dates taking into account the quantities of Other Barrel being acquired pursuant to Refinery Procurement Contracts. To the extent reasonably practicable and in accordance with its consultation with the Company, Aron shall endeavor to make Contract Nominations that 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 an Aron 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 Aron Procurement Contract. Aron shall provide the Company with confirmation of each such Contract Nomination that is made.

(c) The Parties agree that the Company may, from time to time, request that Aron make adjustments or modifications to Contract Nominations it has previously made under the Aron 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 Aron

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

(d) 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.

(e) 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 or other feedstocks outside of the normal nomination procedures.

(f) 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.

(g) Prior to entering into any Ancillary Contract 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 before the Expiration 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 20.1(c) below.

5.5 Transportation, Storage and Delivery of Crude Oil.

(a) Aron shall have the exclusive right to inject (except for such injections by the Company otherwise contemplated hereby, which result in title to any injected Crude Oil being transferred to Aron), store and withdraw Crude Oil in and from the Crude Storage Tanks as provided in the Storage Facilities Agreement. Aron shall have exclusive right to store Crude Oil in the Crude Storage Tanks as provided in the Storage Facilities Agreement. Pursuant to the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements, Aron shall have the exclusive right (to the extent that such exclusive right can be granted) to inject (except for such injections by the Company otherwise contemplated hereby), store, transport and withdraw Crude Oil in and on the Included Crude Pipelines and the Included Crude Tanks (other than Crude Storage Tanks) to the same extent as the Company’s rights to do so prior to the implementation of the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements.

(b) Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall be permitted to withdraw from the Included Crude 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 (EXW Incoterms 2010). Aron shall be responsible only for arranging transportation and

delivery of Crude Oil into the Included Crude Tanks and the Company shall bear sole responsibility for arranging the withdrawal of Crude Oil from the Included Crude Tanks. The Company shall take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to maintain a connection with the Included Crude Tanks to enable withdrawal and delivery of Crude Oil to be made as contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not withdraw Crude Oil from any Included Crude Tanks if such Crude Oil is not to be injected into the Refinery for processing unless prior to such withdrawal, the Company and Aron have mutually agreed to such additional terms and condition as are satisfactory to Aron, which may include the prepayment by the Company of the purchase value for such Crude Oil.

5.6 Title, Risk of Loss and Custody.

(a) Title to and risk of loss of the Crude Oil shall pass from the Company to Aron at the Crude Intake Point. Aron shall retain title to and risk of loss of such Crude Oil during the time such Crude Oil is held in any Included Locations. 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 or Products are held in any Storage Facilities, the Company, in its capacity as operator of the Storage Facilities 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 or Products 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 21.

(c) At and after transfer of any Crude Oil at the Crude Delivery Point, the Company and its Affiliates 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) To the extent the Company wishes to sell any Crude Oil to any third party, the Company acknowledges that it shall not have the authority to agree to such sale without Aron’s prior written consent.

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 Aron 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 Aron Procurement Contracts, (iii) all of the terms and conditions of the Aron Procurement Contracts, (iv) any other condition set forth in Section 5.1 above and (v) no Event of Default having occurred and continuing with respect to the Company.

(b) In documenting each Aron Procurement Contract, 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 Aron 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 Aron Procurement Contracts as contemplated by Section 5.3. 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 Aron 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 Aron 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 extent legally and contractually permissible, to the Company, a copy of the Aron Procurement Contract in question.

(d) The Company acknowledges and agrees that any changes or modification to any Aron Procurement Contract (whether proposed by the Company or the Third Party Supplier) shall be subject to Aron’s approval, such approval to be in Aron’s sole and absolute discretion.

5.8 DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTY OF TITLE WITH RESPECT TO CRUDE OIL OR PRODUCTS DELIVERED HEREUNDER, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTY, CONDITION OR OTHER REPRESENTATION, WRITTEN OR ORAL, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS OR SUITABILITY OF SUCH CRUDE OIL OR PRODUCTS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE. FURTHER, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION THAT SUCH CRUDE OIL OR PRODUCTS CONFORMS TO THE SPECIFICATIONS IDENTIFIED IN ANY CONTRACT WITH ANY THIRD PARTY SUPPLIER.

5.9 Quality Claims and Claims Handling.

(a) The failure of any Crude Oil or Product that Aron hereunder sells to the Company to meet the specifications or other quality requirements applicable thereto as stated in an Aron Procurement Contract for that Crude Oil or Product 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 or Product 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, Products, pipeline, tank transfers, 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) and the terms and conditions of the Agency Agreement, 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, if the Company so requests. In the event that Aron assists in the prosecution of such claim not at the request of Company, such prosecution shall be at Aron’s sole cost and 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. In addition, any claim that is or becomes subject to Article 21 shall be handled and resolved in accordance with the provisions of Article 21.

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 Included Pipelines, provided that Aron has received such

communications and documents in respect of the Included Pipelines 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 on Schedule J hereto.

5.11 Payment Undertakings for Refinery Procurement Contracts.

(a) From time to time, upon the request of the Company, Aron and the Company may endeavor to negotiate with a Third Party Supplier a Crude Payment Undertaking by Aron under which Aron will agree to remit or cause or otherwise arrange for the remittance to such Third Party Supplier of funds sufficient to pay the Crude Procurement Payment due to such Third Party Supplier under one or more Refinery Procurement Contracts on the relevant Procurement Due Dates; provided in no event shall Aron be deemed to be obligated to enter into any proposed Aron Procurement Contract.

(b) To the extent deemed appropriate by Aron, the considerations under Section 5.3(c) applicable to the determining whether Aron elects to enter into a proposed Aron Procurement Contract shall also apply to Aron’s determination regarding whether to execute a Crude Payment Undertaking with a Third Party Supplier. As a condition to entering into any proposed Aron Procurement Contract, Aron shall have received a duly delivered trade ticket stating the quantity, grade and delivery terms of such Crude Oil expected to be delivered under such Aron Procurement Contract.

(c) For each Crude Payment Undertaking that Aron enters into, the Company shall, automatically and without any further action by either Party, become obligated to reimburse Aron for, and pay all Ancillary Costs applicable to, the payment made or caused to be made by Aron under such Crude Payment Undertaking (a “Company Crude Reimbursement Obligation”); provided that (i) the amounts payable by the Company under the Company Crude Reimbursement Obligation shall be determined in accordance with Schedule C hereof and (ii) any security and credit support with respect to a Company Crude Reimbursement Obligation shall be as provided in this Agreement and other Transaction Documents. The Company Crude Reimbursement Obligation for a Crude Payment Undertaking shall arise at the time as such Crude Payment Undertaking is entered into by Aron.

(d) Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Aron hereunder (including any obligations of the Company to indemnify Aron), if any claim of any nature (including any quantity or quality claim) arises under a Refinery Procurement Contract for which Aron has made, or caused to be made, payment under a Crude Payment Undertaking, then Aron shall, to the same extent as contemplated by Section 5.9(b), Section 5.9(c) and Section 5.9(d) hereof, cooperate with and take such actions as reasonably requested by the Company in pursuing or endeavoring to resolve such claim.

5.12 Documentation Discrepancies. If any dispute arises with a Third Party Supplier or Third Party Seller regarding the terms of any documentation to which Aron is a party, Aron in cooperation with the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such documentation discrepancy with such Third Party Supplier or Third Party Seller; provided that if such discrepancy has not been resolved within 5 Business Days after Aron has commenced such efforts, then any time thereafter, upon request by Aron, the Company shall assume full responsibility for communicating with such Third Party Supplier or Third Party Seller and endeavoring to resolve such documentation discrepancy and, following such request, Aron shall not be required to take any further action to resolve such documentation discrepancy not otherwise required by Section 5.9(b) and Section 5.9(c) and Aron shall be fully entitled to rely on the terms in any contract that Aron has executed notwithstanding any discrepancy with any other documentation unless and until a further amendment thereto is agreed by all parties. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company covenants and agrees that any costs, losses or damages that Aron may incur directly as a result of such a documentation discrepancy (including any differences in the terms reflected in any Exchanged Confirmations) shall constitute Ancillary Costs and be for the account of the Company.

5.13 LC Eligible Crude Procurements. The Parties agree to endeavor in a commercially reasonable manner to determine the terms and conditions that would need to be implemented so that LC Related Aron Procurement Contracts can be executed in connection with LC Eligible Refinery Procurement Contracts and, if the Parties (each acting in its sole discretion) agree on terms and conditions that are mutually satisfactory, then they will promptly endeavor to execute an amendment to this Agreement incorporating such terms and conditions; provided that (a) the agreements relating to the letter of credit facility in respect of LC Eligible Refinery Procurement Contract shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Aron; (b) the issuer of such letters of credit shall have entered into intercreditor arrangements satisfactory to Aron in its sole discretion; and (c) all LC Eligible Refinery Procurement Contracts shall provide for payment terms satisfactory to Aron in its sole discretion which payment terms shall include the option of the Company to post a letter of credit by a certain date in lieu of prepayment of the applicable purchase value. For purposes hereof: (i) “LC Eligible Refinery Procurement Contract” means a Refinery Procurement Contract that provides, if the Company arranges for a letter of credit with a specified available amount (which shall be no less than the amount specified in the provisional commercial invoice issued under such Refinery Procurement Contract) to be issued to the Supplier thereunder on or prior to a date designated therein as the last day by when such letter of credit may be delivered thereunder, the Procurement Due Date thereunder shall occur no earlier than one (1) day following completion of delivery to the Company under such Refinery Procurement Contract and (ii) “LC Related Aron Procurement Contract” means an Aron

Procurement Contract referred to in clause (ii) of the definition of “Aron Procurement Contract” providing for the purchase by Aron of Crude Oil that is being procured by the Company under an LC Eligible Refinery Procurement Contract, which is to be evidenced by a confirmation substantially in the form provided by Aron.

ARTICLE 6

PURCHASE VALUE FOR CRUDE OIL

6.1 Daily Volumes. Each Business Day the Company shall provide to Aron, by no later than 7:00 pm HST meter tickets and/or meter readings, and tank gauge readings confirming the Measured Crude Quantity for each Included Crude Tank for all Delivery Dates since the prior Business Day. If the Company determines that any meter tickets and/or meter readings and tank gauge readings provided pursuant to this Section 6.1 are inaccurate, the Company will provide to Aron such corrected meter tickets and/or meter readings and tank gauge readings by no later than 7:00 p.m., HST on the first (1st) Business Day following the date on which such determination is made.

6.2 Purchase Value for Crude Oil. The per Barrel purchase value for the Monthly Net Crude Sales shall equal the Pricing Value specified for Crude Oil, subject to the calculation of the Total Monthly Crude Oil True-Up Amount as provided for on Schedule C.

6.3 Refinery Crude Purchase Fee. For any month, the Company shall owe to Aron when due the Refinery Crude Purchase Fee calculated in accordance with Schedule C; provided that if the Company maintains in full force and effect insurance coverage of the type described in Section 16.1(a)(ii), in each Period (as defined below), the Company shall be permitted to apply a credit of $500,000 towards Refinery Crude Purchase Fees payable to Aron pursuant to this Section 6.3, with such credit to be included in the applicable Monthly True-Up Amount for any applicable month (any such credit, a “Fee Credit”). For purposes hereof: “First Period” means the period from July 1, 2021 through and including May 31, 2022; “Second Period” means the period from June 1, 2022 through and including May 31, 2023; “Third Period” means the period from June 1, 2023 through and including May 31, 2024; and “Periods” means collectively, the First Period, the Second Period and the Third Period.

6.4 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 the Crude Oil) of the Crude Oil procured, or projected to be procured, differ materially from the grades that have generally been run by the Refinery or such grades that the Company may run from time to time acting as a prudent refinery operator, then the Company and Aron will endeavor in good faith to mutually agree on (i) acceptable price indices for such Crude Oil, and (ii) a settlement payment from one Party to the other that is sufficient to compensate the relevant Party for the relative costs and benefits to each of the price differences between the prior price indices and the amended price indices.

6.5 Counterparty Crude Sales. At the request of the Company and subject to the applicable provisions of Article 5 above, Aron may from time to time enter into one or more

Counterparty Crude Sales. In such cases, the Counterparty Crude Sales Fee shall be applicable to such Counterparty Crude Sales, and shall be payable by the Company to Aron hereunder; provided, however, such Counterparty Crude Sales Fee shall not be applicable to any other disposition of Crude Oil made by Aron hereunder or under the Transaction Documents.

6.6 Upon Aron’s request, the Company will provide documentation evidencing all Barrels of Crude Oil purchased for any month under Refinery Procurement Contracts.

ARTICLE 7

TARGET INVENTORY LEVELS AND PRICE ADJUSTMENT

7.1 Target Inventory Levels. Monthly inventory targets for Crude Oil and Products shall be set pursuant to this Article 7. Such monthly inventory targets for Crude Oil and Products shall be subject to the minimum and maximum inventory levels in Schedule D for each Pricing Group; provided that the Company may set monthly inventory targets for a Pricing Group below the applicable minimum inventory level but in no event less than the greater of (i) the applicable Target Month End Crude Volume or Target Month End Product Volume for such Pricing Group and (ii) the aggregate volume of all then outstanding Agreed Roll Differentials with respect to Crude Oil or a Pricing Group. The Company represents and warrants that the respective Target Month End Crude Volumes and Target Month End Product Volumes that the Company sets for each month during the Term hereof shall be the Company’s good faith estimate, at the time it sets such targets, of the Ending In-Tank Crude Inventory and the Ending In-Tank Product Inventories at the end of such month.

7.2 Target Month End Crude Volume.

(a) By no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day of the month preceding each Delivery Month, the Company shall notify Aron of the aggregate quantity of Crude Oil that the Company expects to run at the Refinery during such Delivery Month (the “Projected Monthly Run Volume”).

(b) For each month of the Term, the Company shall from time to time (but subject to any applicable notification deadlines specified on Schedule D hereto) specify the “Target Month End Crude Volume” which shall equal (i) the Target Month End Crude Volume for the immediately preceding month, plus (ii) the aggregate volume of Crude Oil that Aron has nominated under the Aron Procurement Contracts for delivery during that month pursuant to Section 5.4(b), plus (iii) the aggregate volume of the Other Barrels expected to be delivered during such month, 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).

(c) In establishing a Target Month End Crude Volume, the Parties acknowledge that any increase in a Target Month End Crude Volume is constrained to the extent that the Crude Oil available for delivery under the Aron Procurement Contracts

with Third Party Suppliers 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) The Parties may, by mutual agreement, adjust the Target Month End Crude Volume for any month. Any change to a Target Month End Crude Volume shall affect 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) By no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day of the month preceding each Delivery Month, the Company shall provide to Aron its standard run-out report substantially in the form of Schedule O (the “Run-out Report”) showing the estimated quantities of each Product that it expects to produce and deliver to Aron during the following month and the quantities of each Product it expects to sell under the Marketing and Sales Agreement during such following 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, the Company 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 a volume which may be zero or a positive number taking into account the estimates provided pursuant to Section 7.3(a) (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).

(c) Subject to events of Force Majeure, facility turnarounds, the performance of any third parties (including purchasers of Products under the Marketing and Sales Agreement), the Company will, in establishing each Target Month End Product Volume, cause such Target Month End Product Volume to be within the applicable range specified for such Product on Schedule D hereto, except as otherwise permitted under Section 7.1.

(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), the Parties may, by mutual agreement, change such Target Month End Product Volume.

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

(f) For any calendar month in which quantities of Products are delivered by Aron under one or more Additional Product Transactions entered into during such month pursuant to the Marketing and Sales Agreement, the Target Month End Product Volume

of any such Product for the end of such month shall be reduced by the aggregate net quantity of such Product so delivered to the extent such Additional Product Transactions are entered into after such Target Month End Product Volume is established.

7.4 Price Adjustments.

(a) Pursuant to the procedures set forth in Schedule K hereto, (i) in any given month during the term hereof, and (ii) from and after the Adjustment Date, solely to the extent that the Liquidity of the Company for five (5) consecutive Business Days is less than $40,000,000.00 as of the last date the Company was required to report their Liquidity pursuant to Section 13.2(d), in any given week, Aron shall determine whether any adjustment to the Crude Price or any of the Product Prices is appropriate. Promptly after Aron has completed such calculation, it shall advise the Company in writing as to whether any Crude Price or Product Price adjustment is appropriate and if so the amount of such Crude Price or Product Price adjustments. Any such adjusted Crude Price shall become applicable commencing with the month or week immediately following the month or week with respect to which such determination was made.

(b) Promptly following each Price Adjustment Month or Week, Aron shall review the realized sales data for such Price Adjustment Month or Week and calculate whether, based on such data, an adjustment to any of the Product Prices is appropriate (or, in the case of an Interim Price Adjustment Week, the Product Prices identified by whichever Party provides notification thereof); provided that, if Aron determines in its reasonable judgment that the data for such Price Adjustment Month or Week do not provide a representative basis for such determination (due to anomalies, distortions or other factors identified by Aron), then Aron may, at its election, make such calculation based on data for the three calendar month period preceding the Price Adjustment Month or Week. Promptly after Aron has completed such calculation, it shall advise the Company in writing as to whether any Product Price adjustments are appropriate and if so the amounts of such Product Price adjustments. Any such adjusted Product Prices shall become applicable commencing with the month or week immediately following such Price Adjustment Month or Week.

(c) For any month or week for which a Crude Price adjustment is to be made pursuant to Section 7.4(a) or for any Price Adjustment Month or Week for which any Product Price adjustments are to be made pursuant to Section 7.4(b), Aron shall determine either the Product Price Adjustment Settlement Amount or the Crude Price Adjustment Settlement Amount and such amount shall be included in the Total Monthly Crude True-Up Amount (in the case of a Crude Price adjustment) or Aggregate Monthly Product True-Up Amount (in the case of a Product Price Adjustment) or the applicable Interim Payment, as the case may be, that is incorporated into the Monthly True-Up Payment for such month or the applicable Interim Payment for such week or Price Adjustment Month or Week; provided that, in the case of an Interim Price Adjustment Week, such determination shall be made only with respect to those Product Prices

identified in Aron’s notification to the Company relating to such Interim Price Adjustment Week.

(d) As used herein,

(i) “Interim Price Adjustment Week” means any week during which either Party notifies the other Party in writing (including via email) on or prior to the last Business Day of such week that, in such notifying Party’s commercially reasonable judgment, a material change has occurred in one or more of the market differentials used to establish any of the Product Prices hereunder;

(ii) “Price Adjustment Month or Week” means either a Scheduled Price Adjustment Month or an Interim Price Adjustment Week; and

(iii) “Scheduled Price Adjustment Month” means, unless otherwise agreed by Aron in writing, each calendar month during the Term (except for the final month of the Term).

7.5 Monthly Product Adjustments.

(a) Monthly Product Sale Adjustment. For each 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 Schedule C.

(b) Monthly Product Purchase Adjustment. For each 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 Purchase Adjustment”) in accordance with Schedule C.

7.6 Monthly Product Sales Fees. For each month, the applicable Product Sales Fee shall be applied to each Barrel of Product, if any, sold by Aron under any Included Sales Transaction during such month. With respect to each month, the aggregate monthly value of the Product Sale Fees (the “Aggregate Monthly Product Sales Fee”) shall be calculated pursuant to Schedule C and shall be due and payable from the Company to Aron as specified in Schedule C.

7.7 Monthly Cover Costs. If, for any 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, under Included Sales Transactions, and Aron incurs any additional costs and expenses or related damages in procuring and transporting 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, subject to the limitations set forth in Article 22.

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 10.2 and such Monthly Cover Costs shall be incorporated as a component of the Monthly True-Up Amount due for such period hereunder. If, for any 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 Company, under any Company Agreements or otherwise pursuant to Section 2.6 of the Marketing and Sales Agreement, the Company shall be solely responsible for covering any delivery obligations to third parties or the shortfall in the quantity held for such third parties in connection with the Company’s Product Marketing Operations (as defined in the Marketing and Sales Agreement).

7.8 Costs Related to Shortfall. To the extent that Aron is required to cover any shortfall in any Product delivery, under an Included Sales Transaction, 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.

7.9 Excess Target Levels. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the Company is obligated to establish the Target Month End Crude Volume or the Target Month End Product Volumes for any month, the Company may request that Aron agree to a level for any of the foregoing that exceeds that applicable maximum level set forth on Schedule D hereto (an “Excess Inventory Level”); provided that such request may be for only such month or for a period of two or more consecutive months starting with such month, as the Company shall specify in its request. If such request is made in a timely manner, Aron shall promptly review such request and advise the Company as to whether Aron accepts or rejects such Excess Inventory Level; provided that, Aron is under no obligation to accept any such request. If Aron accepts any request for an Excess Inventory Level, then for all purposes of this Agreement and in lieu of the relevant level set forth on Schedule D, such Excess Inventory Level shall constitute the maximum level the relevant Product Group for the period specified in such request; provided that, after such period, the applicable level set forth on Schedule D shall be in effect for purposes of this Agreement. If Aron rejects any such request, then the applicable level set forth on Schedule D shall continue in effect, unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Parties in writing.

7.10 Excess Inventory Levels.

(a) The Company shall promptly notify Aron if, at any time, with respect to any Product Group, the aggregate quantity of such Product Group being held in the Included Locations exceeds the Maximum Inventory Level for such Product Group (such excess, an “Excess Quantity”). Such notice shall contain the applicable volume of Excess Quantity. Within three (3) Business Days after such notice is given, Aron shall advise

the Company as to whether Aron accepts such Excess Quantity (in which case Section 7.10(b) shall apply) or rejects such Excess Quantity (in which case Section 7.10(c) shall apply).

(b) If Aron accepts an Excess Quantity then the Maximum Inventory Level for the relevant Product Group shall be automatically temporarily adjusted (on a one-time basis) by the amount of such Excess Quantity, and such adjusted Maximum Inventory Level shall temporarily constitute the Maximum Inventory Level for the relevant Product Group for the day in which such Excess Quantity was first identified until and including the day Aron accepts such Excess Quantity and, at Aron’s option, for such additional day or days as Aron may specify in writing; provided that if Aron does not accept such Excess Quantity for any additional day or days, such Excess Quantity shall only be in effect for the day in which such Excess Quantity was first identified until and including the day Aron accepts such Excess Quantity and if such Excess Quantity remains after the end of such period, the provisions of this Section 7.10 shall apply anew on the following day.

(c) If Aron rejects an Excess Quantity then, for purposes of determining amounts due under Sections 10.1 and 10.2 of this Agreement, such Excess Quantity shall not be counted as Crude Oil or Products being held at an Included Location. So long as such Excess Quantity remains in an Included Tank which contains any other quantity of the relevant Product Group that is Aron’s Property, then Aron shall have exclusive right, title and interest to such Excess Quantity. In such case, if the Company is able to segregate in one or more Included Tanks a quantity of the relevant Product Group at least equal to such Excess Quantity in which no other Aron’s Property is held, the Company may, at its option, elect to designate such Included Tanks and purchase from Aron the segregated quantity of such Product Group held in such designated Included Tanks so that the quantity of such Product Group owned by Aron would not exceed the Maximum Inventory Level for the relevant Product Group after giving effect to such purchase, at a value equal to the product of (a) the volume of such Product Group held in such Included Tanks and (b) the Pricing Value for the applicable Product Group. After settlement of such purchase, such Included Tanks shall no longer constitute Included Locations for purposes hereof unless and until Aron determines, in its reasonable discretion, that Aron’s ownership of the quantities held in such tanks would not result, as of the time of such determination, in the aggregate quantity of the relevant Product Group owned by Aron exceeding the applicable Maximum Inventory Level. If and when such determination is made, the Parties shall confirm the sale by the Company to Aron of the quantities held in such Included Tanks at a value equal to the product of (a) such quantity and (b) the Pricing Value for the applicable Product Group and upon the settlement of such purchase, such Included Tanks shall thereafter again constitute Included Locations for all purposes hereof.

ARTICLE 8

PURCHASE AND DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS

8.1 Purchase and Sale of Products.

(a) Aron agrees to purchase and receive from the Company, and the Company agrees to sell and deliver to Aron, the entire Products output of the Refinery from and including the Commencement Date through the end of the Term of this Agreement, at the prices determined pursuant to this Agreement and otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Aron, all Products procured by Aron hereunder shall be delivered to an Included Location.

(b) From time to time, under the Marketing and Sales Agreement, the Company may propose that Aron enter into an Included Purchase Transaction with an identified Product Supplier. Such proposal and Aron’s acceptance and rejection of such proposal shall be made pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Marketing and Sales Agreement.

(i) No later than the fifth (5th) Business Day of the month preceding a Delivery Month, the Company shall inform Aron whether the Company has purchased or intends to purchase any Product that is being procured under a Refinery Product Contract for delivery during such Delivery Month (“Refinery Procured Product Barrels”). In connection with each such quantity of Refinery Procured Product Barrels, the Company shall provide to Aron a trade ticket stating the quantity, grade and delivery terms of such Refinery Procured Product Barrels expected to be delivered to the Refinery Product Storage Tanks or such other location designated by the Company during such Delivery Month and, provided no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Company has occurred and is then continuing, the Company and Aron shall enter into a Included Purchase Transaction under which Aron shall purchase such quantity from the Company as and when it passes the Products Intake Point and Aron shall promptly provide to the Company a written confirmation of such Included Purchase Transaction. If any change occurs in the quantity, grade or delivery terms of the Refinery Procured Product Barrels that the Company expects to procure for delivery during such month, the Company shall promptly advise Aron of such change and the related Included Purchase Transaction shall be modified accordingly. With respect to any such confirmation issued by Aron to the Company in connection with an Included Purchase Transaction with the Company, if Aron does not receive from the Company either acceptance or notification of a bona fide error within five 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.

(ii) In the event that the Company enters into a Refinery Product Contract, but does not enter into a related Included Purchase Transaction pursuant

to a trade ticket as contemplated under Section 8.1(c) above, and the Products procured under such Refinery Product Contract is delivered to the Refinery Product Storage Tanks or such other location designated by the Company (“Other Product Barrels”), then such Other Product Barrels shall be deemed sold to Aron as and when they pass the Products Intake Point at the Pricing Value, provided that prior to the delivery of any Other Product Barrels hereunder, the Parties shall establish reasonable procedures and mechanisms for determining and reporting specific volumes of such Other Product Barrels. With respect to any Other Product Barrels that the Company expects to deliver to the Refinery Product Storage Tanks or such other designated Included Product Tanks, the Company shall give Aron written notice of such expected delivery at least ten (10) Business Days preceding the expected delivery month for such Other Product Barrels and in such notice the Company shall provide to Aron the quantity, grade and delivery terms of such Other Product Barrels expected to be delivered. If thereafter any change occurs in the quantity, grade or delivery terms of the Other Product Barrels that the Company expects to procure for delivery during such month, the Company shall promptly advise Aron of such change.

(iii) In the event that (a) a Third Party Seller relating to an Included Purchase Transaction refunds or remits, or is otherwise obligated to refund or remit, to the Company all or any portion of the amount relating to the Product Procurement Payment that was previously paid by Aron pursuant to such Included Purchase Transaction, then on or prior to the date that is the earlier of (x) two (2) Business Days after the receipt by the Company of such refund or remittance and (y) fifteen (15) Business Days after obtaining knowledge of such obligation of the counterparty to pay such refund or remittance (unless there is a dispute or claim as between the Company and such counterparty relating to such refund or remittance and the Company and such counterparty are working in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner to resolve such dispute or claim in which case the Company shall keep Aron informed of the status of such dispute or claim), the Company shall remit or cause the remittance to Aron of such amount relating to the Product Procurement Payment (and, in the case of clause (y) above, irrespective of whether the Company actually received such amount relating to the Product Procurement Payment), and/or (b) any Refinery Product Contract relating to an Included Purchase Transaction is amended or modified such that (x) the quantity of Refinery Procured Barrels to be delivered and sold to the Company under such Refinery Product Contract is reduced, the related Included Purchase Transaction shall be amended accordingly so that the corresponding quantity of Refinery Procured Barrels to be delivered and sold to Aron pursuant to such Included Purchase Transaction shall also be reduced on a barrel-for-barrel basis and the Company shall, promptly after such amendment of the Refinery Product Contract, pay Aron an amount equal to the portion of the Product Procurement Payment that was previously paid by Aron pursuant to such Included Purchase Transaction that corresponds with the amount of such reduction in quantity and/or (y) the delivery date under such Refinery Product Contract is extended to a date

that is greater than fifteen (15) days after the originally agreed delivery date thereunder, Aron may elect, in its sole discretion, (A) to approve such modified delivery date, in which case, the related Included Purchase Transaction shall be modified accordingly or (B) to terminate the related Included Purchase Transaction, in which case the Company shall promptly pay Aron the full amount of the Product Procurement Payment paid by Aron pursuant to such Included Purchase Transaction.

(d) With respect to each shipment of Products delivered under an Included Purchase Transaction that provides for delivery at the SPM Delivery Point, (i) the Company and Aron shall automatically be deemed to have entered into a buy/sell transaction (each, an “SPM Buy/Sell Product Transaction”) subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the SPM Master Buy/Sell Product Confirmation, with the Company buying such shipment of Products from Aron at the SPM Delivery Point (the “Product Buy Leg”) and selling an equal quantity and quality of Product to Aron at the Products Intake Point (the “Product Sell Leg”), (ii) under the Product Buy Leg of each SPM Buy/Sell Product Transaction, the Company shall purchase from Aron the quantity of Product delivered under the relevant shipment with delivery and transfer of title and risk of loss all occurring at the SPM Delivery Point on the same basis as transfer of title and risk of loss are to occur under the Included Purchase Transaction so that, simultaneously with the transfer of title to such Products from the Third Party Seller to Aron, title to such Products is transferred from Aron to the Company and (iii) under the Product Sell Leg of such SPM Buy/Sell Products Transaction, the Company shall sell to Aron Products in a quantity equal to, and of a grade and quality at least equivalent to, that of the Products purchased by the Company under the Product Buy Leg of such SPM Buy/Sell Product Transaction, with delivery and transfer of title and risk of loss occurring at and as such Product passes the Products Intake Point. With respect to each SPM Buy/Sell Product Transaction, the parties acknowledge and agree that (A) any quantity shortfall, or grade or quality deficiency, with respect to the Products delivered under the Product Sell Leg shall be borne by and is solely for the account of the Company, (B) as a result of the foregoing arrangements, title to Product shall be held exclusively by the Company at all times as and after such Product passes the SPM Delivery Point, while such Product is being held in or transported by any subsea hoses, subsea pipelines or other infrastructure connecting the SPM Delivery Point to the Products Intake Point and until such Product passes the Products Intake Point, (C) all such Products in which the Company holds title shall be subject to the security interest and lien in favor of Aron under the Lien Documents, (D) for purposes of calculating inventory measurements, determining cash settlements under Sections 10.1 and 10.2 and calculating any fees due hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, quantities of Products in which the Company has title as contemplated by clause (B) above shall not be counted as quantities of Products held in an Included Location and (E) for purposes hereof, neither an SPM Buy/Sell Product Transaction nor the Product Buy Leg or Product Sell Leg thereunder shall constitute a Included Purchase Transaction.

(e) For purposes of all computations hereunder relating to the value of any materials held in the Honolulu 10” Pipeline, including without limitation, for the purposes of Sections 10.1 and 10.2 hereof, the per-barrel price of any such materials shall equal the applicable Pricing Value for the Slop Product Group.

(f) Payment Undertaking for Refinery Product Contracts.

(i) From time to time, upon the request of the Company, Aron and the Company may endeavor to negotiate with a Third Party Seller a Product Payment Undertaking by Aron under which Aron will agree to remit or cause or otherwise arrange for the remittance to such Third Party Seller of funds sufficient to pay the Product Procurement Payment due to such Third Party Seller under one or more Refinery Product Contracts on the relevant Procurement Due Dates; provided in no event shall Aron be deemed to be obligated to enter into any proposed Aron Procurement Contract.

(ii) To the extent deemed appropriate by Aron, the considerations under Section 5.3(c) applicable to the determining whether Aron elects to enter into a proposed Aron Procurement Contract shall also apply to Aron’s determination regarding whether to execute a Product Payment Undertaking with a Third Party Seller. As a condition to entering into any proposed Aron Procurement Contract, Aron shall have received a duly delivered trade ticket stating the quantity, grade and delivery terms of such Products expected to be delivered under such Aron Procurement Contract.

(iii) For each Product Payment Undertaking that Aron enters into, the Company shall, automatically and without any further action by either Party, become obligated to reimburse Aron for, and pay all Ancillary Costs applicable to, the payment made or caused to be made by Aron under such Product Payment Undertaking (a “Company Product Reimbursement Obligation”); provided that (x) the amounts payable by the Company under the Company Product Reimbursement Obligation shall be determined in accordance with Schedule C hereof and (y) any security and credit support with respect to a Company Product Reimbursement Obligation shall be as provided in this Agreement and other Transaction Documents. The Company Product Reimbursement Obligation for a Product Payment Undertaking shall arise at the time as such Product Payment Undertaking is entered into by Aron.

(iv) Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Aron hereunder (including any obligations of the Company to indemnify Aron), if any claim of any nature (including any quantity or quality claim) arises under a Refinery Product Contract for which Aron has made, or caused to be made, payment under a Product Payment Undertaking, then Aron shall, to the same extent as contemplated by Section 5.9(b), Section 5.9(c) and Section 5.9(d) hereof, cooperate with and take such actions as reasonably requested by the Company in pursuing or endeavoring to resolve such claim.

8.2 Delivery and Storage of Products.

(a) Unless otherwise agreed by Aron, all Products shall be delivered by the Company to Aron at the Products Intake Point of the Refinery Product Storage Tanks or any other Included Product Tanks (as the case may be) on a DDP (Incoterms 2010) basis, with the Company being responsible for ensuring delivery of such Product into the Refinery Product Storage Tanks.

(b) Aron shall have exclusive right (to the extent that such exclusive right can be granted) to store Products in the Refinery Product Storage Tanks and all other Included Product Tanks as provided under the Storage Facilities Agreement and, if hereafter entered into, any Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements.

8.3 Expected Yield and Estimated Output.

(a) 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) As set forth on Schedule J, 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.

(a) For each Delivery Date, the Company shall provide to Aron, by no later than 7:00 p.m., HST on the second (2nd) Business Day following such Delivery Date, meter tickets and/or meter readings and tank gauge readings confirming the Measured Product Quantity in each Included Product Tank for each Product delivered during that Delivery Date and other such relevant information including but not limited to Product identifiers and the location of Products, aggregated on a Product Group basis.

(b) If the Company determines that any meter tickets and/or meter readings and tank gauge readings provided pursuant to clause (a) above are inaccurate, the Company will provide to Aron such corrected meter tickets and/or meter readings and tank gauge readings by no later than 7:00 p.m., HST on the third (3rd) Business Day following the date on which such determination is made.

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 Intake Point. Aron shall retain title and risk of loss through the Included Product Pipelines and in the Included Product Tanks. Title and risk of loss to Products shall pass from Aron (i) to the Company as Products pass at a Products Delivery Point or (ii) in the case of sales of Product by Aron under the Marketing and Sales Agreement, to

the Company or third parties (as the case may be) at a Products Offtake Point, including tank to tank transfer.

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 or to such other specifications as are from time to time agreed upon by the Parties.

8.7 Purchase Value of Products. The per Barrel purchase value for the Monthly Net Product Group Sales for each type of Product Group sold to Aron hereunder shall equal the Pricing Value specified for such Product Group, subject to the calculation of the Aggregate Monthly Product True-Up Amount as provided for on Schedule C.

8.8 Fees for Included Purchase Transactions. The Product Procurement Fee shall be applied to each Barrel of Product to be delivered to an Included Location or the Refinery pursuant to an Included Purchase Transaction. With respect to each month, the aggregate monthly value of the Product Procurement Fees (the “Aggregate Monthly Purchased Products Fee”) shall be calculated pursuant to Schedule C and shall be due and payable from the Company to Aron as specified in Schedule C.

8.9 Transportation, Storage and Delivery of Products.

(a) Aron shall have the exclusive right (to the extent that such exclusive right can be granted) to inject, store and withdraw Products in the Storage Facilities as provided in the Storage Facilities Agreement.

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

(c) Insofar as any pipeline nominations are required to be made by Aron for any Product 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 an Included Product Pipeline is unable to accept Aron’s nomination or if the Included Product Pipelines must allocate capacity among its shippers.

8.10 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 or those that the Company may produce from time to time acting as a

prudent refinery operator, then the Company and Aron will endeavor in good faith to mutually agree on (i) acceptable price 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 price differences between the prior price indices and the amended price indices

ARTICLE 9

ANCILLARY COSTS; MONTH END INVENTORY; CERTAIN DISPOSITIONS; TANK MAINTENANCE

9.1 Ancillary Costs.

(a) The Parties agree that, to the maximum extent reasonably practicable, the Company shall pay directly any item that would constitute an Ancillary Cost. The Parties shall cooperate and endeavor in a commercially reasonable manner to arrange for all such items to be billed directly to the Company and for the payee of such item to expect payment of such item solely from the Company.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, the Company agrees to reimburse Aron for all Ancillary Costs incurred by Aron. Such reimbursement shall occur from time to time upon demand of Aron to the Company. When making such demand, Aron shall promptly provide the Company with copies of any relevant trade tickets, invoices or other supporting documentation for Ancillary Costs incurred by Aron.

(c) To the extent the Company has not paid or reimbursed Aron for any Ancillary Costs then outstanding and payable with respect to any month or any adjustments or refunds have occurred with respect to any Ancillary Costs previously paid or reimbursed, Aron may include in the Monthly True-Up Amount for such month as a separate line item on the applicable Monthly True-Up Amount invoice an amount to compensate the Parties, as appropriate, for such items.

(d) From time to time upon the reasonable request of either Party, the Parties shall consult to assess whether (i) Ancillary Costs actually being incurred are consistent with the expectations of the Parties and the terms of this Agreement, (ii) procedures for paying, handling or otherwise dealing with Ancillary Costs can be improved or should be modified, (iii) documentation relating to substantiation of Ancillary Costs is sufficient and (iv) in any other respect the processing of Ancillary Costs hereunder can or improved or modified.

9.2 Month End Inventory.

(a) As of 11:59:59 p.m., HST, on the last day of each month, the Company shall apply the Volume Determination Procedures to the Included Locations, and based thereon shall determine for such month (i) the aggregate volume of Crude Oil held in the Included Crude Tanks at that time (the “Ending In-Tank Crude Inventory”) and (ii) for each Product, the aggregate volume of such Product held in the Refinery Product Storage

Tanks and the other Included Product Tanks at that time, plus the Product Linefill for such Product at that time (each, an “Ending In-Tank Product Inventory”). The Company shall notify Aron of the Ending In-Tank Crude Inventory and each Ending In-Tank Product Inventory by no later than 5:00 p.m., HST 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 tenth (10th) day after the end of such month.

(b) Aron may, or may have Supplier’s Inspector, at Aron’s sole cost and expense, witness all or any aspects of the Volume Determination Procedures as Aron shall direct. If, in the reasonable 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 Ending In-Tank Crude Inventory and any Ending In-Tank Product Inventory as may be necessary to correct any such errors.

(c) The Company agrees that in addition to reporting to Aron the volume determinations made by the Company pursuant to Section 9.2(a), the Company will provide to Aron copies of all volume reports and statements related to Crude Oil or Products held at any Included Locations or with respect to any hydrocarbon inventories held by the Company at any other locations including any inventory, quantity, or quality inspection reports prepared by a third party.

9.3 Calculation of Sales.

(a) For any month, the “Monthly Net Crude Sales” shall be determined as set forth on Schedule C.

(b) For any month, and for each Pricing Group (as defined on Schedule P), the “Monthly Net Product Group Sales” shall be determined as set forth on Schedule C.

9.4 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 or Products that, based on the then current Monthly Crude Forecast, Aron would reasonably have expected to have sold to the Company (any quantity of Crude Oil or Products 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 price 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”); provided, however, prior to Aron making any such disposition and provided that no Event of Default with respect to the Company has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have a period equal to the lesser of (i) ten (10) Business Days from the occurrence of such Force Majeure event

or (ii) the remaining time period before an event of default would occur under the contracts relevant to the Disposed Quantity as a result of such Force Majeure event, in which to arrange the disposition of such Disposed Quantity on commercially reasonable terms and conditions. In no event shall the Disposed Quantity exceed the aggregate amount of Crude Oil or Products that the Company would have been expected to purchase based on their current Monthly Crude Forecast for the period during which the Company is unable to take delivery of Crude Oil or Products 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.

(c) In connection with any disposition by Aron permitted by this Section 9.4, Aron will endeavor, in good faith, to consult with the Company regarding, and keep the Company apprised of Aron’s negotiations relating to, such disposition so long as, in Aron’s commercially reasonable judgment, doing so does not in any way interfere with or limit Aron’s ability to execute such disposition in such manner as it deems acceptable.

9.5 Tank and Pipeline 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 SPM Delivery Point, Included Crude Tank, Included Product Tank or Included Pipelines being unavailable.

(b) The Company immediately shall notify Aron orally (followed by prompt written notice) of any previously unscheduled downtime or maintenance of any SPM Delivery Point, or in the case of any Included Crude Tank, Included Product Tank or Included Pipelines, any previously unscheduled downtime or maintenance expected to have a duration in excess of ten (10) days.

(c) The Company shall give Aron at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any scheduled maintenance that the Company and/or any of its Affiliates intends to conduct on any of the Crude Storage Tanks or the Included Company Product Tanks that would result in such storage tank being taken out of service for a period greater than thirty (30) days (“Tank Maintenance”).

(d) 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, if deemed necessary by the Parties.

(e) 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.

9.6 Certain Regulatory Matters.

(a) If Aron shall determine, in its reasonable judgment, that as a result of (i) the taking effect of any Applicable Law after the date hereof, (ii) any change in Applicable Law or in the administration, interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, (iii) the making or issuance of any request, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) or any interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority or the entry of a final, non-appealable judgment or order in a court of competent jurisdiction (regardless of whether related to Aron) or (iv) any interpretation of or proposal to implement any of the foregoing by a Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing events described in clauses (i)-(iv) arising from or relating to either the Federal Reserve Notice of Proposed Rulemaking or the Federal Reserve 620 Report and whether occurring before or after the Effective Date (each, a “Regulatory Event”), Aron or any of its Affiliates is or would (A) not be permitted to hold, store, transport, buy, finance, sell or own any or certain of the commodities subject to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, (B) be required to hold additional capital, or be assessed any additional capital or other charges, on the basis of holding, storing, transporting, buying, financing, selling, or owing any commodities from time to time, including without limitation, any of the commodities subject to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (C) be unable to perform in any material respect its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, or (D) were it to continue to hold, store, transport, buy, finance, sell or own any of the commodities subject to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents or perform any such obligations, and taking into account other commodities and the volumes thereof held by Aron or any of its Affiliates from time to time, be or likely to be required to hold additional capital, or be assessed any additional capital or other charges, or be or likely to be subject to additional or increased burdens or costs (such additional capital or other charges, burdens and costs, collectively, “Additional Costs”), then it shall notify the Company in writing of such determination (a “Regulatory Event Notice”). Promptly following the sending of a Regulatory Event Notice, Aron shall propose what actions or steps, if any, either Party or both Parties could implement to alleviate, minimize and/or mitigate the effect of any such Regulatory Event, and the Company shall consider any such actions or steps in good faith. If, in Aron’s reasonable judgment, such actions or steps can be implemented with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents without adversely impacting the business conducted by Aron and its Affiliates generally, including, without limitation,

without resulting in Aron or its Affiliates being required to incur any Additional Costs on the basis of holding, storing, transporting, buying, selling or owing any commodities from time to time, including without limitation, any of the commodities subject to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, while preserving the economic terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including economic benefits, risk allocation, costs and Liabilities), then the Parties shall, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, endeavor to implement such actions and steps. If, in Aron’s reasonable judgment, no such actions or steps are so identified or the Parties are unable to implement any actions and steps that have been so identified, then Aron may, by written notice to the Company (a “Regulatory Termination Notice”), elect to terminate this Agreement in the manner provided for in Article 20 on such date Aron shall specify in such notice, which date shall constitute a Termination Date for purposes of Article 20; provided that (x) (unless such Regulatory Event has or is expected to become effective at an earlier date) the date specified in such Regulatory Termination Notice shall occur at least one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date such notice is given and if practicable on the last day of a month and (y) if the relevant Regulatory Termination Notice relates only to the incurrence of Additional Costs, then if and for so long as the Company exercises its option under Section 9.6(b) below, no termination shall result from such Regulatory Termination Notice. In the case of a Regulatory Termination Notice referred to in clause (y) of the preceding sentence, Aron will also provide to the Company an estimate of such Additional Costs which Aron shall determine in a commercially reasonable manner based on such information relating to the relevant Regulatory Event as is then available to Aron.

(b) If Aron gives a Regulatory Termination Notice relating to a Regulatory Event Notice that relates only to the incurrence of Additional Costs, then the Company may elect, by written notice to Aron, to compensate Aron from time to time for such Additional Costs incurred by Aron and so long as the Company compensates Aron for such Additional Costs, this Agreement shall not be terminated on the basis of such Regulatory Event Notice; provided that (i) upon giving such notice to Aron, the Company shall become obligated to pay all Additional Costs thereafter incurred, subject to clause (iv) below, and without limiting such obligation Aron may require that the Company execute such further documents or instruments as Aron may request to confirm such obligation, (ii) the amount of such Additional Costs shall be determined by Aron in accordance with its internal procedures and shall include Additional Costs directly arising from this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and the portion of any other Additional Costs allocable, on a pro rata basis, to this Agreement, such Transaction Documents and such transactions, (iii) such Additional Costs shall be invoiced by Aron to the Company on a monthly basis and be due and payable within three (3) Business Days after invoicing, it being acknowledged that to the extent feasible, Aron will endeavor to include such Additional Costs in the monthly settlement provided for under Section 10.2 hereof and (iv) the Company may elect to cease compensating Aron for such Additional Costs by written notice which shall be effective 120 days after being given, in which case Aron may reinstate its Regulatory Termination Notice with respect to such Additional Costs.

(c) As used herein, “Federal Reserve Notice of Proposed Rulemaking” means the notice of proposed rulemaking issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System titled “Risk-based Capital and Other Regulatory Requirements for Activities of Financing Holding Companies Related to Physical Commodities and Risk-based Capital Requirements for Merchant Banking Investments” (Docket No. R-1547; RIN 7100 AE-58); and “Federal Reserve 620 Report” means the Report to the Congress and the Financial Stability Oversight Council Pursuant to Section 620 of the Dodd-Frank Act issued in September 2016 by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

ARTICLE 10

PAYMENT PROVISIONS

10.1 Interim Payments.

(a) For each day, Aron will calculate a provisional payment (each an “Interim Payment”) in accordance with the calculation set forth in Schedule C for that day, in the manner illustrated on Schedule G and using Best Available Inventory Data; provided that if inventory data have not been reported on any day within a three (3) Business Day period, Aron will use the inventory data for the day occurring during the thirty (30) day period preceding such calendar day that results in the largest Estimated Daily Net Crude Sales or the smallest Estimated Daily Net Product Sales (as the case may be), in any case resulting in an amount equal to the highest daily amount that would be payable to Aron; provided further that, if Aron determines that any inventory data it has used in such determination was inaccurate by at least 20,000 barrels, then Aron shall adjust future Interim Payments to take account of any corrected inventory data.

(b) With respect to the Estimated Daily Net Crude Sales and Estimated Daily Net Product Sales,

(i) The inventory data to be used in determining each shall include the Best Available Inventory Data.

(ii) The Company shall, at the end of each day, provide to Aron inventory reports in the form set forth on Schedule H, showing the quantity of Crude Oil held in the Included Crude Tanks and the quantities of Products held in the Included Product Tanks; and

(iii) The Company shall provide Aron with all relevant transfer data for Crude Oil Barrels that are in transit between Included Crude Tanks at the Par East (as identified in Schedule E) and the Par West (as identified in Schedule E).

(c) For each day, Aron shall determine the Estimated Daily Net Crude Sales and Estimated Daily Net Product Sales, in a commercially reasonable manner based on

the inventory data and otherwise in the manner contemplated by this Section 10.1 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.

(d) Aron shall advise the Company of the amount of an Interim Payment via invoice issued in accordance with Schedule G. The party obligated to make such Interim Payment shall cause such payment to be made on the applicable Payment Date indicated on Schedule G.

(e) For any Business Day, the Interim Payment to be determined and advised by Aron shall be the Interim Payment for that day, provided that if such Business Day is followed by one or more non-Business Days (whether weekends or Bank Holidays), then Aron shall determine and advise to the Company the Interim Payment for that Business Day as well as the Interim Payment each of such following non-Business Days and all such Interim Payments shall be due on the same day.

(f) From time to time Aron may (but shall not be obligated to) include a provisional calculation of the Monthly Product Purchase Adjustment or Monthly Product Sale Adjustment in the applicable Interim Payment, which shall be calculated by Aron based on the current Daily Value or Aron’s good faith estimate of pricing and volume based on the applicable trade ticket (irrespective of whether Aron was invoiced for the applicable Crude Oil or Product) (each such adjustment, a “Provisional Marketing Adjustment”); provided that (x) if any calculated adjustment is positive, it will represent an amount payable to Aron and (y) if any calculated adjustment is negative, it will represent an amount payable to the Company. For avoidance of doubt, Aron may include such provisional calculation in the applicable Interim Payment in respect of any Crude Oil or Products sold or purchased pursuant to the Marketing and Sales Agreement or any Payment Undertaking. All provisionally charged adjustments will be credited in the applicable Monthly True-Up Amount. All amounts included in any Interim Payment as a Provisional Marketing Adjustment will be taken into account (but without duplication) for purposes of calculating any subsequent Provisional Marketing Adjustments or any Monthly Product Purchase Adjustment or Monthly Product Sale Adjustment included as a part of a subsequent Monthly True-Up Amount (or estimated Monthly True-Up Amount) or any unpaid amounts hereunder.

10.2 Monthly True-Up Amount.

(a) Aron will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Company, within five (5) Business Days following receipt of the Ending In-Tank Crude Inventory and the Ending In-Tank Product Inventory pursuant to Section 9.2, a calculation and appropriate documentation to support such calculation for such month for a monthly true-up payment (the “Monthly True-Up Amount”); provided that, if, at any time, the Liquidity of the Company is less than $50,000,000.00 for five (5) consecutive Business Days as of the last date the Company was required to report its Liquidity pursuant to Section 13.2(d), Aron may (but shall not be obligated to), in respect of any Monthly True-Up Amount, provide to the Company an estimate of such Monthly True-Up

Amount associated with the applicable true-up month at any time on or after the first calendar day of the immediately following month, and each such estimated Monthly True-Up Amount shall be payable in accordance with this Section 10.2(a). The Monthly True-Up Amount for any month shall be equal to the following in accordance with Schedule C:

(i) the Total Monthly Crude Oil True-Up Amount (as defined in Schedule C); plus

(ii) the Aggregate Monthly Product True-Up Amount (as defined in Schedule C), plus

(iii) the aggregate amount of unpaid or unreimbursed Ancillary Costs for such month and any adjustments relating to estimated or paid Ancillary Cost, plus

(iv) the Counterparty Crude Sales Fee for such month, plus

(v) the Discretionary Draw Availability Fee and Discretionary Draw Utilization Fee, plus

(vi) the Monthly Cover Costs; plus

(vii) any other amount then due from the Company to Aron under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, minus

(viii) any Fee Credit, minus

(ix) any other amount then due from Aron to the Company under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

If the Monthly True-Up Amount is a negative number, then the absolute value of such number shall be the amount due from Aron to the Company, and if the Monthly True-Up Amount is a positive number, such amount shall be due from the Company to Aron. Either Party shall pay any True-Up Amount due to the other Party no later than two (2) Business Days after such Party’s receipt of the monthly invoice and all related documentation supporting the invoiced amount.

(b) For purposes of determining the amounts due under clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 10.2(a), the definitions and formulas set forth in Schedule C shall apply and for purposes of determining the amount due under clause (v) and (vi) of Section 10.2(a), the definitions and formula set forth in Schedule F shall apply. In addition, the Fee Letter contains various definitions and formulas that shall be applied for purposes of determining certain of the amounts referred to in Section 10.2(a).

10.3 Maximum Inventory Levels. Notwithstanding any transfer of title to Aron to all such Crude Oil or Products, Aron shall not be obligated at any time to pay for any quantity of

Crude Oil or Product under Section 10.1 or 10.2 or otherwise hereunder to the extent such payment would relate to an aggregate quantity of Crude Oil or such Products in the Included Locations in excess of the then applicable maximum level as set forth on Schedule D or as may have been temporarily adjusted under Section 7.9; provided that (i) from and after the Second Restatement Effective Date to June 1, 2022, the maximum level set forth in Schedule D shall be no more than 6,000,000 Barrels; and (ii) from and after June 1, 2022, if the Leverage Ratio for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022 is greater than or equal to 3.50:1.00, the maximum level set forth in Schedule D shall be 5,000,000 Barrels until such time the Leverage Ratio for any fiscal quarter ending thereafter is less than 3.50:1.00 at which time the maximum level set forth in Schedule D for the Specified Period (as defined below) shall be increased to 6,000,000 Barrels for so long as the Leverage Ratio for such fiscal quarter most recently ended is less than 3.50:1.00 (it being agreed that the Leverage Ratio shall be tested on April 1 (in respect of the fiscal quarter ended December 31 of the previous year), June 1, September 1 and December 1 (in respect of each other fiscal quarter most recently ended) in determining the maximum level set forth in Schedule D for the applicable period). For purposes hereof “Specified Period” means each of the following periods of each calendar year: (i) June 1 to August 31; (ii) September 1 to November 30; (iii) December 1 to March 31; and (iv) April 1 to May 31.

10.4 Invoices.

(a) Invoices shall be prepared and submitted in accordance to Schedule G.

(b) If the Company in good faith disputes the amount of any invoice issued by Aron relating to any amount payable hereunder (including Interim Payments, Monthly True-Up Amounts or Ancillary Costs), it nonetheless shall pay Aron the full amount of such invoice by the due date and inform Aron in writing of the portion of the invoice with which it disagrees and why; provided that, to the extent that the Company promptly informs Aron of a calculation error that is obvious on its face, the Company shall pay Aron the undisputed amounts and may retain such disputed amount pending resolution of such dispute. The Parties shall cooperate in resolving the dispute expeditiously. If the Parties agree that the Company does not owe some or all of the disputed amount or as may be determined by a court pursuant to Article 25, Aron shall return such amount to the Company, together with interest at the Fed Funds Rate from the date such amount was paid, within two (2) Business Days from, as appropriate, the date of their agreement or the date of the final, non-appealable decision of such court. Following resolution of any such disputed amount, Aron will issue a corrected invoice and any residual payment that would be required thereby will be made by the appropriate Party within two (2) Business Days.

10.5 Other Feedstocks. If Aron procures any catfeed or other non-Crude Oil feedstocks for the Company to run at the Refinery, the Parties shall agree in connection with such procurement upon terms for incorporating the purchase of such feedstocks into the daily and monthly settlements contemplated by Sections 10.1 and 10.2 above.

10.6 Adjustment Date Settlements.

(a) In connection with the adjustments contemplated hereunder to occur on and as of the Adjustment Date, Aron shall determine in a commercially reasonable manner any payments required to be made by one party to the other to compensate for the change in certain terms on and as of the Adjustment Date and, promptly after making such determination, Aron shall prepare and issue an invoice reflecting all such payments and the net payment resulting therefrom which shall be due from one party to the other as provided in Section 10.6(b) below or for amounts not covered under Section 10.6(b), no later than the second Business Day following the date on which such invoice is issued.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 10.6(a), it is agreed that, in connection with the Adjustment Date, Aron shall in a commercially reasonable manner calculate, and either Aron or the Company (as appropriate) shall be obligated to make, the payments provided for below:

(i) With respect to each Product Group, a Provisional Step-Out amount (as defined in Schedule B-1) and a Provisional Step-In amount (as defined in Schedule B-2) shall each be calculated based on the end-of-day inventories reported for June 23, 2021 and the difference between such amounts (the “Net Provisional Adjustment Amount”) shall be due from the Company to Aron if the Provisional Step-Out amount is greater than the Provisional Step-In Amount and otherwise from Aron to the Company;

(ii) The Net Provisional Adjustment Amounts shall be included in the invoice issued by Aron on June 30, 2021 and shall be included in the Interim Payment due on July 1, 2021;

(iii) In connection with the calculation of each Net Provisional Adjustment Amount, Aron shall calculate any additional amount due from one party to the other as a result of provisionally closing out and reestablishing the related FIFO balance based on the Target Month End Crude Volume or Target Month End Product Volume (as applicable) for the June 2021 Delivery Month (subject to clause (vii) below). If any such amount is determined to be due, it will be invoiced and payable concurrently with the related Net Provisional Adjustment Amount;

(iv) With respect to each Product Group, a Step-Out amount (as defined in Schedule B-1) and a Step-In amount (as defined in Schedule B-2) shall be calculated based on the end-of-day inventories reported for June 30, 2021 and the difference between such amounts (the “Net Adjustment Amount”) shall be due from the Company to Aron if the Step-Out amount is greater than the Step-In Amount and otherwise from Aron to the Company; provided that if the Net Adjustment Amount for a Product Group is due from the same Party that paid the Net Provisional Adjustment Amount for such Product Group, then the amount due pursuant to this clause (iv) for such Product Group shall equal the difference between such amounts and be due from such Party if such Net Provisional Adjustment Amount is less than such Net Adjustment Amount and otherwise

from the other Party, and if the Net Adjustment Amount for a Product Group is not due from the Party that paid the Net Provisional Adjustment Amount for such Product Group, then the amount due pursuant to this clause (iv) for such Product Group shall equal the sum of such amounts and shall be due from the Party that did not pay such Net Provisional Adjustment Amount;

(v) The amounts determined under clause (iv) above shall be included in the invoice issued by Aron on July 7, 2021 and shall be included in the Interim Payment due on July 8, 2021;

(vi) In connection with the calculation of each Net Adjustment Amount, Aron shall calculate any additional amount due from one party to the other as a result of closing out and reestablishing the relevant FIFO balance based on the Target Month End Crude Volume or Target Month End Product Volume (as applicable) for the June 2021 Delivery Month (subject to clause (vii) below). If any such amount is determined to be due, it will be invoiced and payable concurrently with the related Net Adjustment Amount; provided that such amount shall be netted against or aggregated with any amount paid under clause (iii) above so that, as a result, the Party obligated to pay such amount shall have done so after giving effect to such netting or aggregation; and

(vii) For purposes of calculating the payments under clauses (iii) and (vi) above with respect to the Gasoline Product Group, the calculation for the reestablishing of the FIFO position shall be based on the sum of the volumes for the Gasoline Product Group and the Naphtha Product Group, which shall equal the Target Month End Product Volume of the Gasoline Product Group for the June 2021 Delivery Month and shall be allocated 224,000 Barrels to the Gasoline Product Group and 198,000 Barrels to the Naphtha Product Group.

ARTICLE 11

DISCRETIONARY DRAW FACILITY

11.1 DUP Facility: Discretionary Draw Commitments.

(a) The Parties agree that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (a) with respect to the period from the Second Restatement Effective Date to the Adjustment Date, the terms and conditions providing for the deferred payment arrangements between the Company and Aron as set forth in Article 11 and related sections and defined terms (including all arrangements relating to fees in respect thereof) of the First Amended and Restated S&O Agreement shall be in full force and effect notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the First Amended and Restated S&O Agreement occurring on the Second Restatement Effective Date (such terms and conditions, the “DUP Facility T&C’s”); and (b) with respect to the period after the Adjustment Date, the DUP Facility T&C’s shall cease to be in effect and such deferred payment arrangements shall for all purposes hereunder be replaced by the Discretionary Draw Facility.

(b) During the Discretionary Draw Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Aron agrees to make advances constituting Discretionary Draw Advances to the Company in Dollars in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to but not exceeding the lesser of (i) the Discretionary Draw Maximum Commitment Amount and (ii) the Borrowing Base as of such date (based upon the Collateral Reports delivered by the Company to Aron in connection with the applicable advance constituting a Discretionary Draw Advance, in each case, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof). Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Article 11 that are repaid or prepaid may, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, be reborrowed during the Discretionary Draw Commitment Period. The Discretionary Draw Commitment shall terminate on the Business Day immediately preceding the Termination Date.

11.2 Borrowing Mechanics for the Discretionary Draw Advance and Incremental Discretionary Draw Amount.

(a) To request an advance constituting a Discretionary Draw Advance or an Incremental Discretionary Draw Amount, the Company shall satisfy each of the conditions set forth in Section 2.2 prior to the applicable Credit Date.

(b) Aron will make an advance constituting a Discretionary Draw Advance or an Incremental Discretionary Draw Amount available to the Company by promptly remitting the applicable amount of such Discretionary Draw Advance or Incremental Discretionary Draw Amount to a Controlled Account specified by the Company in the applicable Discretionary Draw Election Report in accordance with Section 10 and Schedule G. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Interim Payment payable on any Payment Date (as set forth in Schedule G) is due from the Company to Aron and the Company has requested that a Discretionary Draw Advance or an Incremental Discretionary Draw Amount be made on such Payment Date and the conditions thereto have been satisfied so that such Payment Date is also the relevant Credit Date, then on such date Aron may, at its option, set off the amount of such Interim Payment against the amount of such Discretionary Draw Advance or Incremental Discretionary Draw Amount and to the extent of such set off, such Interim Payment and such Discretionary Draw Advance or Incremental Discretionary Draw Amount shall be deemed to have been paid and received by the relevant Parties and to the extent any portion of any such amount exceeds that amount of such set off, it will, in the case of such Interim Payment, be paid by the Company and, in the case of such Discretionary Draw Advance or Incremental Discretionary Draw Amount, be remitted by Aron on the applicable Payment Date or Credit Date.

(c) Each request for an advance constituting a Discretionary Draw Advance or an Incremental Discretionary Draw Amount shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Company that, since December 31, 2020, there has been no event or condition that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

11.3 Reserves. Anything to the contrary in this Article 11 notwithstanding, Aron shall have the right (but not the obligation) to establish and increase or decrease Reserves against the Borrowing Base; provided that, Aron shall notify the Company substantially simultaneously with the establishment or increase of any such Reserves, but the failure of Aron to so notify the Company shall not cause such establishment or increase of such Reserve to be ineffective.

11.4 Eligible Receivables and Eligible Hydrocarbon Inventory.

(a) By no later than 7:00 p.m. HST on each Business Day, the Company shall provide to Aron, via email, reports in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Aron as illustrated in Schedule H (the “Receivables Report”, “Billing Due Report” and “Inventory Report”) showing (i) the then current total amount of Eligible Receivables and a breakdown of such Eligible Receivables by Acceptable Account Debtor, which breakdown shall indicate the amount and Remaining Tenor of each Eligible Receivable owing by the relevant Acceptable Account Debtor; provided that if any Receivables Report is not delivered by such time on any Business Day, Aron will use the Receivables Report for the day occurring during the thirty (30) calendar day period preceding such Business Day in the manner illustrated on Schedule G that corresponds to the smallest amount of the Borrowing Base set forth in such Receivables Report; and (ii) the inventory quantities of Crude Oil and Products from the immediately previous Business Day (and any other prior day subsequent thereto that was not a Business Day) that then constitute Eligible Hydrocarbon Inventory, including the quantity and location of each type of inventory; provided that, if any Inventory Report is not delivered by such time on any Business Day, Aron will use the Inventory Report for the day occurring during the thirty (30) calendar day period preceding such Business Day in the manner illustrated on Schedule G that corresponds to the smallest amount of the Borrowing Base set forth in such Inventory Report. If, despite its best efforts, the Company is or anticipates it will be unable to provide the reports required under this Section 11.4(a) for five (5) or more consecutive Business Days, it shall so advise Aron and then the Company and Aron shall endeavor in good faith to implement an alternative interim inventory reporting arrangement that is satisfactory to Aron and if such satisfactory interim arrangement is implemented, it will be used for such period as is agreed by the parties in connection with its implementation; provided that the foregoing shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to continue to use best efforts to restore its ability to deliver the Inventory Report. If the parties are unable to agree on an alternative interim inventory reporting arrangement or following the termination of such arrangement, the Company fails to provide Aron the Inventory Reports required under this Section 11.4(a) for five (5) consecutive Business Days, the total amount of Eligible Receivables and Eligible Hydrocarbon Inventory, as applicable, shall be deemed to be zero for all purposes hereunder until such time the Company provides Aron the reports required under this Section 11.4(a) and Aron is satisfied with the contents thereof.

(b) Promptly after receipt of each Receivables Report, Billing Due Report and Inventory Report, Aron shall calculate the Borrowing Base based on the information provided in such report; provided that Aron may only exclude from such calculation any

receivables included in such report that Aron, in its reasonable judgment, determines in good faith do not constitute Eligible Receivables and any Hydrocarbons that Aron, in its reasonable judgement, determines in good faith do not constitute Eligible Hydrocarbon Inventory.

(c) The Company, by delivering a Receivables Report, Billing Due Report and Inventory Report shall be deemed to represent and warrant to Aron (to the same extent as if set forth in this Agreement) that (i) all Accounts identified as Eligible Receivables in such report meet all the requirements of an Eligible Receivable set forth in this Agreement and (ii) all Hydrocarbons identified as Eligible Hydrocarbon Inventory in such report meet all the requirements of Eligible Hydrocarbon Inventory set forth in this Agreement.

(d) Prior to September 30 of each calendar year, the Company shall procure and cause to be provided to Aron a due diligence report prepared by KPMG LLP and addressed to Aron relating to the Company’s Eligible Receivables and Eligible Hydrocarbon Inventory as of June 30 of such calendar year and other matters pertaining to the Company and its operations and financial condition, which report shall be consistent with customary practices for accounts receivable and inventory audits for asset-based lending facilities conducted by independent auditors for Aron in similar transactions (and shall not involve any physical inspection of the Company’s Inventory) (a “Borrowing Base Assessment”). The Company further agrees that, if Aron has in its reasonable judgment identified material discrepancies between those Accounts that the Company has reported as Eligible Receivables and the Accounts that actually qualify as Eligible Receivables, or those Hydrocarbons that the Company has reported as Eligible Hydrocarbon Inventory and the Hydrocarbons that actually qualify as Eligible Hydrocarbon Inventory, then Aron may require that the Company procure and cause to be provided to Aron one or more additional Borrowing Base Assessments, provided that Aron shall not be entitled to require more than two additional Borrowing Base Assessments during any 12 month period. All costs of procuring such Borrowing Base Assessment shall be borne by the Company.

11.5 [Reserved].

11.6 Specified Government Accounts. Specified Government Accounts shall constitute Eligible Receivables without regard to the concentration limit set forth in clause (y) of the definition of “Eligible Receivables” so long as (i) the aggregate amount of such Specified Government Accounts does not constitute more than forty percent (40%) of the sum of all Eligible Receivables; and (ii) the Company shall in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner diligently pursue and endeavor to satisfy the Government Accounts Assignment Condition and obtain a Government Response with respect to such Specified Government Accounts.

11.7 Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the proceeds of each advance constituting a Discretionary Draw Advance solely for working capital requirements and other

general corporate purposes of the Company and any other purpose not prohibited by the Transaction Documents.

11.8 Evidence of Debt; Register; Notes.

(a) Aron’s Evidence of Debt. Aron shall maintain records evidencing the obligations of the Company owing to Aron, including the principal amount of the Discretionary Draw Advance made by Aron and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Such records maintained by Aron shall be prima facie evidence thereof, absent manifest error; provided that the failure to maintain any such records, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to pay any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) Notes. Upon the request of Aron by written notice to the Company, the Company shall promptly prepare, execute and deliver to Aron a promissory note payable to Aron to evidence the Discretionary Draw Advance, which shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule GG.

11.9 Reserved.

11.10 Reserved.

11.11 Fees.

(a) The Company agrees to pay to Aron the Discretionary Draw Availability Fee and the Discretionary Draw Utilization Fee in respect of the Discretionary Draw Advance, in accordance with Schedule C.

(b) All fees referred to in Section 11.11(a) shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable monthly in arrears for each calendar month of each year on the Monthly True-Up Date applicable to such month and on the Expiration Date.

(c) The Company agrees to pay on the Second Restatement Effective Date to Aron, closing fees in the amounts separately agreed between the Company and Aron, as set forth in Schedule C or the Fee Letter.

(d) Fees paid hereunder shall not be refundable or creditable under any circumstances.

11.12 Repayment of Discretionary Draw Advance. The Company shall repay to Aron the then unpaid principal amount of the Discretionary Draw Advance on the Expiration Date.

(i) From time to time, the Company may, without premium or penalty but subject to compliance with the conditions set forth in this Section 11.13(a) and with Section 11.13(c), prepay the Discretionary Draw Advance in whole or in part, in each case, pursuant to the Discretionary Draw Election Reports as described in Section 11.13(a)(ii).

(ii) To make a voluntary prepayment pursuant to Section 11.13(a), the Company shall deliver, via e-mail, to Aron not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the immediately preceding Business Day prior to the proposed date of prepayment of the Discretionary Draw Advance or any portion thereof, the Discretionary Draw Election Report which shall specify the prepayment date (which shall be a Business Day) and the total principal amount of the Discretionary Draw Advance then outstanding, after giving effect to any prepayment thereof requested to be made on such prepayment date, to be calculated in accordance with Schedule C. The request for such prepayment under such Discretionary Draw Election Report shall be irrevocable, and the principal amount of the Discretionary Draw Advance specified therein shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein; provided that any request for prepayment under the related Discretionary Draw Election Report pursuant to this Section 11.13(a)(ii) may state that such request is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be rescinded by the Company (by written notice to Aron on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied.

(b) No Voluntary Commitment Reductions. The Company shall not reduce or terminate any commitments of Aron hereunder.

(i) Total Utilization in Excess of Discretionary Draw Maximum Commitment Amount. In the event and on each occasion that the Discretionary Draw Advance exceeds the amount of the Discretionary Draw Maximum Commitment Amount, the Company shall promptly (but in any event within one (1) Business Day) prepay the Discretionary Draw Advance in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(ii) Total Utilization in Excess of Borrowing Base. If, at any time, (A) the Discretionary Draw Advance on such date exceeds (B) the Borrowing Base reflected in the Collateral Reports most recently delivered by the Company to Aron with respect to Eligible Receivables or Eligible Hydrocarbon Inventory, then Aron shall advise the Company of the aggregate amount equal to the amount of such excess via an invoice issued in accordance with Schedule G and the Company shall promptly (but in any event within one (1) Business Day) prepay the Discretionary Draw Advance in the amount specified in such invoice.

(d) General Provisions Regarding Payments.

101

(i) All payments by the Company of principal, fees and other amounts required to be made hereunder shall be made by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, without defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, to the account of Aron in the United States of America most recently designated by it for such purpose and received by Aron not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due for the account of the Persons entitled thereto.

(ii) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder with respect to the Discretionary Draw Advance shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder.

(iii) Any payment hereunder by or on behalf of the Company to Aron that is not received by Aron in same day funds prior to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due shall, unless Aron shall determine otherwise, be deemed to have been received, for purposes of computing fees hereunder (including for purposes of determining the applicability of Section 19.3), on the Business Day immediately following the date of receipt (or, if later, the Business Day immediately following the date the funds received become available funds).

(iv) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and the maturity of the Discretionary Draw Advance shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 19, all payments or proceeds received by Aron in respect of any of the Obligations hereunder, or from any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, shall be applied in accordance with the terms hereof.

(v) Aron shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement.

11.14 Making or Maintaining the Discretionary Draw Advance.

(a) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate.

(i) If Aron determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Aron shall give notice (which may be telephonic) thereof to the Company as promptly as practicable, whereupon, (x) no Incremental Discretionary Draw Amount may be made until such time as Aron notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (y) for the Discretionary Draw Advance then outstanding and any fees payable under this Agreement, the Parties shall endeavor to establish an alternate benchmark rate to LIBOR that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate for syndicated loans denominated in Dollars in the United States at such time, and Aron and the

102

Company shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate benchmark rate and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable; provided that if such alternate benchmark rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for all purposes of this Agreement and (z) any request by the Company for an Incremental Discretionary Draw Amount pursuant to a Discretionary Draw Election Report shall be deemed rescinded by the Company. Aron shall promptly notify the Company when such circumstances that led to its notice pursuant to this Section 11.14(a)(i) no longer exist.

(ii) If at any time Aron determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (x) the circumstances set forth in Section 11.14(a)(i) have arisen (including because the rate described in the first sentence of the definition of “LIBOR” is not available or published on a current basis) and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (y) the circumstances set forth in Section 11.14(a)(i) have not arisen but either (1) the supervisor for the administrator of the rate described in the first sentence of the definition of “LIBOR” has made a public statement that the administrator of such rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of such rate), (2) the administrator of the rate described in the first sentence of the definition of “LIBOR” has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which such rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of such rate), (3) the supervisor for the administrator of the rate described in the first sentence of the definition of “LIBOR” has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which such rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (4) the supervisor for the administrator of the rate described in the first sentence of the definition of “LIBOR” or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Aron has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the rate described in the first sentence of the definition of “LIBOR” will no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then Aron and the Company shall endeavor to establish an alternate benchmark rate to LIBOR that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate for syndicated loans denominated in Dollars in the United States at such time, and Aron and the Company shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate benchmark rate and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Spread); provided that if such alternate benchmark rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for all purposes of this Agreement. Until an alternate benchmark rate shall be determined in accordance with this paragraph (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (y) above, only to the extent the rate described in the first sentence of the definition of “LIBOR” is not available or published at such time on a current basis), all references to “LIBOR” in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be deemed references to

103

“Wall Street Journal Prime Rate” as published and defined in the Wall Street Journal.

(b) Illegality or Impracticability of the Discretionary Draw Advance. In the event that on any date Aron shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that the making, maintaining, or continuation of, its Discretionary Draw Advance (i) has after the Second Restatement Effective Date become unlawful as a result of compliance by Aron in good faith with any law (or would conflict with any treaty, rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful) or (ii) has become impracticable as a result of contingencies occurring after the Second Restatement Effective Date that materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of Aron in that market, then, if Aron shall have provided notice thereof to the Company, Aron shall be an “Affected Lender”. If the Company receives a notice from Aron pursuant to the preceding sentence, then (1) the obligation of Aron to increase the Discretionary Draw Advance shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by Aron, and (2) Aron’s obligations to maintain the Discretionary Draw Advance then outstanding (the “Affected Advance”) shall be terminated when required by law. Aron shall promptly notify the Company when the circumstances that led to its notice pursuant to this Section 11.14(b) no longer exist.

(c) Compensation for Breakage. In the event that (i) a borrowing of the Discretionary Draw Advance or Incremental Discretionary Draw Amount does not occur on a date specified therefor in any Discretionary Draw Election Report given by the Company (other than as a result of a failure by Aron to make such Discretionary Draw Advance in accordance with its obligations hereunder), whether or not such notice may be rescinded in accordance with the terms hereof, (ii) any payment of any principal of the Discretionary Draw Advance occurs on a day other than on the last day of a period applicable to the setting of LIBOR related thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), or (iii) a prepayment of the Discretionary Draw Advance or any portion thereof does not occur on a date specified therefor in any notice of prepayment given by the Company, whether or not such notice may be rescinded in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company shall compensate Aron for all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities that Aron sustains, including any loss incurred from obtaining, liquidating or employing losses from third parties, but excluding any loss of margin or any interest rate “floor”, for the period following any such payment, assignment or conversion or any such failure to borrow, pay, prepay, convert or continue. To request compensation under this Section 11.14(c), Aron shall deliver to the Company a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of any amount or amounts that Aron is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 11.14(c), which certificate shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The Company shall pay Aron the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

104

(d) Booking of Discretionary Draw Advance. Aron may make, carry or transfer the Discretionary Draw Advance at, to or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of any Affiliate of Aron.

(e) Assumptions Concerning Funding of Discretionary Draw Advance. Calculation of all amounts payable to Aron under this Section 11.14 and under Section 11.15 shall be made as though Aron had actually funded each advance constituting a Discretionary Draw Advance and or an Incremental Discretionary Draw Amount through the purchase of a eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the first sentence in the definition of LIBOR in an amount equal to the amount of such advance constituting a Discretionary Draw Advance and having a maturity comparable to the relevant period applicable to the setting of LIBOR related thereto and through the transfer of such eurodollar deposit from an offshore office of Aron to a domestic office of Aron in the United States of America; provided that Aron may fund any advance constituting a Discretionary Draw Advance or an Incremental Discretionary Draw Amount in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 11.14 and under Section 11.15.

11.15 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy and Liquidity.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, Aron (except any such reserve requirement reflected in LIBOR);

(ii) subject Aron to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes and (C) Other Connection Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on Aron or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or the Discretionary Draw Advance made by Aron;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to Aron of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining the Discretionary Draw Advance or of maintaining its obligation to make such Discretionary Draw Advance, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Aron hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of Aron, the Company will pay to Aron such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Aron for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

105

(b) Capital and Liquidity Requirements. If Aron determines that any Change in Law affecting Aron or any lending office of Aron or Aron’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Aron’s capital or on the capital of Aron’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Discretionary Draw Commitment or the Discretionary Draw Advance made by Aron, to a level below that which Aron or Aron’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Aron’s policies and the policies of Aron’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time upon request of Aron the Company will pay to Aron, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Aron or Aron’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of Aron setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate Aron or its holding company, as specified in Section 11.15(a) or 11.15(b) and delivered to the Company, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay Aron the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of Aron to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 11.15 shall not constitute a waiver of Aron’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate Aron pursuant to this Section 11.15 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 120 days prior to the date that Aron notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of Aron’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11.15 to the contrary, Aron shall not request, or be entitled to receive, any compensation pursuant to this Section 11.15 unless it shall be the general policy or practice of Aron to seek compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any.

11.16 Taxes; Withholding, Etc.

(a) FATCA. For purposes of this Section 11.16, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Company under this Agreement shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant

106

Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Company shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 11.16) Aron receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Company. The Company shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Aron timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify Aron, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 11.16) payable or paid by Aron or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Aron and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by Aron shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Company to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 11.16, the Company shall deliver to Aron the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Aron.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 11.16 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 11.16), it shall pay to the indemnifying Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 11.16 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 11.16(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.16(f), in no event will the indemnified Party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 11.16(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified Party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments

107

or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 11.16(f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified Party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying Party or any other Person.

(g) Survival. Each Party’s obligations under this Section 11.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Aron or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a lender, the termination of the Discretionary Draw Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

(h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) this Section 11.16, Section 11.15(a)(ii) and Section 11.17, shall apply only with respect to the Discretionary Draw Advance and Incremental Discretionary Draw Amount made by Aron to the Company pursuant to this Article 11 and any payments by the Company to Aron in respect of such Discretionary Draw Advance, as well as any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes with respect thereto, and (ii) Article 15 shall apply only to all matters and transactions herein outside the scope of the Discretionary Draw Advance and Incremental Discretionary Draw Amount made pursuant to this Article 11.

11.17 Obligation to Mitigate. If Aron becomes an Affected Lender or requests compensation under Section 11.15, or if the Company is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to Aron or to any Governmental Authority, then Aron shall (at the request of the Company) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking of the Discretionary Draw Advance hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates if, in the judgment of Aron, such designation or assignment and delegation (a) would cause Aron to cease to be an Affected Lender or would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 11.15 or 11.16, as the case may be, in the future and (b) would not subject Aron to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to Aron. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Aron in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation.

ARTICLE 12

INDEPENDENT INSPECTORS; STANDARDS OF MEASUREMENT

12.1 Aron shall be entitled to have Supplier’s Inspector, at Aron’s sole cost and expense, present at any time the Volume Determination Procedures are to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and to observe the conduct of Volume Determination Procedures.

12.2 In addition to its rights under Section 12.1, Aron may, from time to time during the Term of this Agreement, upon reasonable prior notice to the Company, at Aron’s own cost and expense, have Supplier’s Inspector conduct surveys and inspections of any of the Storage Facilities or observe any Crude Oil or Product transmission, handling, metering or other activities being conducted at such Storage Facilities or the Delivery Points associated therewith,

108

including for the purpose of conducting sampling and analysis of any Crude Oil or Products in accordance with the specifications set forth on Schedule A; provided that such surveys, inspections and observations shall not materially interfere with the ordinary course of business being conducted at such Storage Facilities or the Refinery.

12.3 Subject to the Storage Facilities Agreement between Aron and the Company, Aron will have the right to inspect the Storage Facilities. In the event that recalibration of meters, gauges or other measurement equipment is requested by Aron such as “strapping,” the Parties shall select a mutually agreeable certified and licensed independent petroleum inspection company (the “Independent Inspection Company”) to conduct such recalibration. The cost of the Independent Inspection Company is to be shared equally by the Company and Aron.

12.4 Standards of Measurement. All quantity determinations herein will be corrected to sixty (60) degrees Fahrenheit based on a U.S. gallon of two hundred thirty one (231) cubic inches and forty two (42) gallons to the Barrel, in accordance with the latest supplement or amendment to ASTM-IP petroleum measurement tables (Table 6A of ASTM-IP for Feedstocks and Table 6B of ASTM-IP for Products).

12.5 The Company shall, at end of each calendar quarter (or at such other time as Aron may agree), provide for manual gauging by an Independent Inspection Company of each Crude Storage Tank or Included Company Product Tank to ensure that the automated tank level readings are accurate to within a tolerance of two inches; provided that if the automated reading cannot be calibrated to be within such tolerance, the Company shall use the manual gauge reading in its calculation of inventory until such time as the automated gauge can be repaired so that it can be calibrated to within such tolerance.

ARTICLE 13

FINANCIAL INFORMATION; CREDIT SUPPORT

13.1 Provision of Financial Information.

(a) The Company shall provide Aron (i) within ninety (90) days following the end of each of its fiscal years, (a) a copy of the annual report, containing audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for such fiscal year certified by independent certified public accountants, which report and opinion shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and shall not be subject to any “going concern” or like qualification or exception or any qualification or exception as to the scope of such audit, and (b) the balance sheet, statement of income and statement of cash flow of the Company for such fiscal year, as reviewed by the Company’s independent certified public accountants, together with a Compliance Certificate to be delivered pursuant to Section 13.2(c); and (ii) within forty five (45) days after the end of its first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, a copy of the quarterly report, containing unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for such fiscal quarter, in each case together with a Compliance Certificate to be delivered pursuant to Section 13.2(c); provided that

109

so long as the Company is required to make public filings of its quarterly and annual financial results pursuant to the Exchange Act, such filings are available on the SEC’s EDGAR database and such filings are made in a timely manner, then the Company will not be required to provide such annual or quarterly financial reports to Aron

(b) The Company shall provide Aron within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations for a filer that is a “non-accelerated filer,” whether or not required to file reports with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act: (i) all quarterly and annual financial and other information with respect to the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Guarantor was required to file such Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by the Guarantor certified independent accountants which report shall not be subject to any “going concern” or like qualification or exception or any qualification or exception as to the scope of such audit; provided, however, such reports shall not be required to comply with Sections 302, 906 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or related items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K; and (ii) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Guarantor were required to file such reports unless the Guarantor determines in good faith that such reports are not material to Aron. All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports. The availability of the foregoing reports on the SEC’s EDGAR filing system will be deemed to satisfy the foregoing delivery requirements. If, at any time, the Guarantor is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Guarantor will nevertheless file the reports specified in this Section 13.1(b) with the SEC within the time periods specified above unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. The Guarantor will not take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept the Guarantor’s filings for any reason, the Guarantor will post the reports referred to in this Section 13.1(b) on its website within the time periods for a filer that is a “non-accelerated filer” that would apply if the Guarantor were required to file those reports with the SEC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Guarantor is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of Par Pacific or any other direct or indirect parent, if Par Pacific or such other direct or indirect parent of the Guarantor files reports with the SEC in accordance with Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, whether voluntarily or otherwise, then the Guarantor shall be deemed to comply in full with this Section 13.1(b). If the Guarantor, Par Pacific or other direct or indirect parent of the Guarantor files or furnishes any information or report pursuant to this Section 13.1(b) in a timely manner and subsequently amends or restates such information or report, such information or report shall be deemed filed or furnished in a timely manner notwithstanding such amendment or restatement. If at any time none of the Guarantor, Par Pacific or other direct or indirect parent of the Guarantor are required to file with the SEC the reports required by this Section 13.1(b) and none of them voluntarily file such reports, the Guarantor will furnish to the Lenders and any prospective Lenders upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant

110

to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. Any failure to comply with this Section 13.1(b) shall be automatically cured when the Guarantor, Par Pacific or any other direct or indirect parent of the Guarantor provides all required reports to Aron or files all required reports with the SEC; provided that such cure shall not otherwise affect the rights of Aron hereunder if any amounts hereunder have been accelerated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such acceleration has not been rescinded or cancelled prior to such cure. If the Company elects to satisfy its obligations under this Section 13.1(b) with respect to financial information relating to the Guarantor by furnishing financial information relating to Par Pacific or any other direct or indirect parent, and such financial information reflects the assets or operations of Subsidiaries of Par Pacific or other direct or indirect parent of the Guarantor that are not also Subsidiaries of the Guarantor, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by this Section 13.1(b) will include an additional summary presentation, either on the face of the financial statements, in the footnotes thereto, or in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of the financial condition and results of operations of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of Par Pacific or any other direct or indirect parent of the Guarantor. The requirement to provide additional summary financial information required by this paragraph will be deemed satisfied if and when such information is posted on the website of the Guarantor, Par Pacific or any other direct or indirect parent of the Guarantor.

13.2 Additional Information.

(a) Upon reasonable notice, the Company shall provide to Aron such additional information as Aron may reasonably request to enable it to ascertain the current financial condition of the Company, including product reports in the form of Schedule S;

(b) From time to time, upon reasonable request by Aron, the Company shall obtain and provide to Aron additional information from third party arrangements, if any, but only to the extent the Company may contractually disclose such arrangements to Aron;

(c) The Company shall deliver to Aron, in form and detail satisfactory to Aron concurrently with the delivery of the financial statements referred to in Section 13.1(a), a duly completed Compliance Certificate signed by the chief financial officer or treasurer of the Company (a) certifying as to, among other things, such financial statements and certifying that, in making the examination necessary therefor, (A) with respect to the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries, such consolidated financial statements fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as at such date and the results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the period ended on such date and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied; provided that, for any financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 13.1(a)(i), such statements shall be,

111

subject to changes resulting from normal, year-end audit adjustments and except for the absence of footnotes; and (B) no knowledge was obtained by such chief financial officer or treasurer of any Default or Event of Default, or, if any such Default or Event of Default shall exist, stating the nature and status of the applicable event or circumstance, and (b) providing a calculation of (i) the Leverage Ratio of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries as of the end of the applicable period and (ii) Liquidity as of the last day of the fiscal quarter most recently ended together with a statement showing in reasonable detail the calculation therefor; and

(d) On the first Business Day of each week, the Company shall notify Aron of the Liquidity of the Company as of the close of business on each Business Day of the prior week and shall (i) include evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Aron, of the account balance of each Controlled Account of the Company and (ii) be in substantially the form of Schedule II.

13.3 Notification of Certain Events. The Company shall notify Aron within one (1) Business Day after learning of any of the following events:

(a) The Company’s or any of its Affiliates’ binding agreement to sell, lease, sublease, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or grant any Person (including an Affiliate) an option to acquire, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, all or a material portion of the Refinery assets;

(b) The Company’s or any of its Affiliates’ binding agreement to consolidate or amalgamate with, merge with or into, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to, another entity (including an Affiliate);

(e) The execution of any agreement or other instrument or the announcement of any transaction or proposed transaction that contemplates or could or does result in a Change of Control;

(f) Any event or condition that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect;

(g) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default in respect of which the Company is the Defaulting Party; and

(h) any material change in accounting policies or financial reporting practices of the Company that could reasonably be expected to cause a material change in the

112

accounting, tracking, interpretation, calculation or determination of (i) value of Hydrocarbons or Accounts of the Company or (ii) any financial covenants and any other provisions under the Transaction Documents (including without limitation in respect of any fees or any other amounts contemplated to be owed to Aron thereunder).

13.4 Credit Support.

(a) As security for the prompt and complete payment of all Obligations, the Company hereby pledges, assigns, conveys and transfers to Aron as margin, and hereby grants to Aron a present and continuing security interest in and to, and a general first lien upon and right of set off against, to amount of U.S. dollars constituting the Initial Margin Amount and all interest and other proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect thereof, or in exchange therefor; provided that (i) the Company shall effect such pledge, assignment, conveyance and transfer of the Initial Margin Amount as and when required under Section 4.3 hereof and (ii) once the full amount of the Initial Margin Amount has been so pledge, assigned conveyed and transferred, the Company agrees that for the duration of the Term, it shall maintain such pledge, assignment, conveyance and transfer and take such action as Aron reasonably requests in order to perfect Aron’s continuing security interest in, and lien on (and right of setoff against), such amount. Notwithstanding the provisions of Applicable Law, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to Aron, then Aron shall have the right to sell, pledge, rehypothecate, assign, invest, use, commingle or otherwise use in its business all or any portion of the Initial Margin Amount, free from any claim or right of any nature whatsoever of the Company, including any equity or right of redemption by the Company. Nothing in this Section 13.4(a) shall limit any rights of Aron under any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, including without limitation, under Section 13.4(b) or Article 19 below. Aron will exercise reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Initial Margin Amount to the extent required by Applicable Law.

(b) As further security for the prompt and complete payment of all amounts due or that may become due hereunder, the Company shall grant the Lien contemplated by, comply with the terms of and maintain in full force and effect the Lien Documents and assist Aron in maintaining any UCC financing statements or other filings necessary to preserve Aron’s Liens pursuant to the Lien Documents.

ARTICLE 14

REFINERY TURNAROUND, MAINTENANCE AND CLOSURE; TERMINAL CONVERSION

14.1 The Company shall be responsible for all operations and maintenance of Included Locations which are, directly or indirectly, owned by the Company. The Company shall promptly notify Aron in writing of the date for which any inspection, maintenance, restart or turnaround at the Refinery or the Refinery Facilities has been scheduled, or any revision to previously scheduled inspection, maintenance, restart or turnaround, which may affect receipts of

113

Crude Oil at the Refinery, the SPM or the Storage Facilities, the processing of Crude Oil in the Refinery or the delivery of Products to Aron or by Aron to the Company or any third parties; provided that, (i) promptly after the Company completes its annual business plan with respect to any year, it shall notify Aron of any such inspection, maintenance, restart or turnaround contemplated with respect to such year and (ii) the Company shall give Aron at least two (2) months’ prior written notice of any such scheduled inspection, maintenance, restart or turnaround.

14.2 The Company shall promptly notify Aron orally (followed by prompt written notice) of any previously unscheduled downtime at the Refinery hydrocracker or Crude Oil unit exceeding twenty-four (24) hours.

14.3 In the event of a scheduled shutdown of the Refinery, the Company shall, to the extent feasible, complete processing of all Crude Oil being charged to, processed at or consumed in the Refinery at that time.

14.4 (a) Subject to Section 14.4(b) below, if at any time Aron determines that all or any portion of the facilities constituting an Included Location (in each case, “Identified Facilities”) fail to satisfy Aron’s then applicable policies and procedures (such policies and procedures to be in reasonable accordance with and not to exceed industry, regulatory and customary practices) relating to the prudent maintenance and operation of storage tanks, pipeline facilities, vessels and other infrastructure used to store or transport crude oil and/or refined products (“Aron’s Policies and Procedures”), and without limiting any other rights and remedies available to Aron hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, Aron may provide the Company notice of such failure so long as such failure is continuing and, if Aron provides such notice, the following provisions shall be applicable: (i) in the case of any Identified Facilities that are subject to the Storage Facility Agreement, upon such date as Aron shall specify, such Identified Facilities shall cease to constitute an Included Location (or part of an Included Location) for purposes hereof and any payment to Aron in respect of any Crude Oil or Products held in such Identified Facilities shall become due in accordance with the provisions of Section 10 hereof; and (ii) in the case of any Identified Facilities that are subject to a Required Storage and Transportation Arrangement, the Parties shall endeavor as promptly as reasonably practicable to execute such rights, provide such notices, negotiate such reassignments or terminations and/or take such further actions as Aron deems necessary or appropriate to terminate Aron’s status as the party entitled to use and/or hold Crude Oil or Products at such Identified Facilities and, concurrently with effecting the termination of such status, such Identified Facilities shall cease to constitute an Included Location (or part of an Included Location) for purposes hereof and any payment to Aron in respect of any Crude Oil or Products held in such Identified Facilities shall become due in accordance with the provisions of Section 10 hereof.

(b) Aron’s rights under Section 14.4(a) above are subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

(i) Aron shall apply Aron’s Policies and Procedures with respect to the Included Locations in a non-discriminatory manner as compared with other similar storage tanks and pipeline facilities utilized by Aron in a similar manner;

114

(ii) If the failure of any Identified Facilities to satisfy Aron’s Policies and Procedures is a result of Aron’s Policies and Procedures exceeding the standards or requirements imposed under Applicable Law or good and prudent industry practice, then (1) Aron shall not require the removal of such Identified Facilities as Included Locations until the 120th day after giving the Company written notice of such failure, unless in Aron’s reasonable judgment such failure presents an imminent risk relating to such Identified Facility in which case Aron may require that such Identified Facility immediately cease to constitute an Included Location and the terms of Section 14.4(a) shall immediately become applicable, (2) during such 120 day period, Aron shall consult with the Company in good faith to determine whether based on further information provided by the Company such Identified Facilities comply with Aron’s Policies and Procedures and/or whether additional actions or procedures can be taken or implemented so that, as a result, such Identified Facilities would comply with Aron’s Policies and Procedures, and (3) if it is determined that such Identified Facilities do comply with Aron’s Policies and Procedures or, as a result of such additional actions or procedures, such Identified Facilities become so compliant within such 120 day period, then such Identified Facilities shall not cease to be Included Locations based on the noncompliance stated in Aron’s notice to the Company;

(iii) If within the 120 day period referred to in clause (ii)(2) above, the Company has identified and diligently commenced the implementation of additional actions or procedures that are intended to result in such Identified Facilities becoming compliant with Aron’s Policies and Procedures, but such implementation cannot through commercially reasonable efforts be completed within such 120 day period, then so long as the Company continues to diligently and in a commercially reasonable manner pursue the implementation of such additional actions and procedures, Aron will extend such 120 day period up for up to an additional 60 days (or such longer period as the Parties may mutually agree) to allow for such implementation to be completed and if such implementation is completed within such additional 60 day period (or such longer period as the Parties may mutually agree), then such Identified Facilities shall not cease to be Included Locations based on the noncompliance stated in Aron’s notice to the Company; and

(iv) If any Identified Facilities cease to be Included Locations pursuant to Section 14.4(a) above and thereafter Aron determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment, that such Identified Facilities have become compliant with Aron’s Policies and Procedures, then Aron shall promptly cooperate with the Company to reestablish such Identified Facilities as Included Locations hereunder.

14.5 If after May 31, 2022 the Company elects to convert the Refinery to a terminalling operation whereby the Company ceases to process and refine Crude Oil and other feedstocks on a permanent basis (a “Terminal Conversion”), the Company shall notify Aron no less than 90 days prior to the effective date of such Terminal Conversion and in addition:

115

(a) if the Company elects to restore Refinery operations after a Terminal Conversion prior to the Expiration Date (regardless of whether the Company has terminated this Agreement prior to the Expiration Date pursuant to Section 3.3), the Company shall pay to Aron all fees Aron would have earned pursuant to this Agreement and the Fee Letter during such time if such Terminal Conversion had not happened, as calculated in good faith and in a commercially reasonably manner by Aron;

(b) Aron may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to the Company within 30 days after receipt of a notice of a Terminal Conversion, specifying a Termination Date (on which the Parties shall perform their obligations relating to termination pursuant to Article 20) occurring on the date that is the later of (i) 30 days following the date such notice is given and (ii) the last Business Day of the immediately following calendar; and

(c) In the event Aron does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (b) above, the Parties agree to endeavor in a commercially reasonable manner to determine the terms and conditions that would need to be implemented to provide for an intermediation facility between Aron and the Company after giving effect to the Terminal Conversion and, if the Parties (each acting in its sole discretion) agree on terms and conditions that are mutually satisfactory, then they will promptly endeavor to execute an amendment to this Agreement incorporating such terms and conditions (which shall provide that in no event shall the Company commingle any Crude Oil or Products subject to such intermediation facility); provided that in any event (i) effective as of the effective date of such Terminal Conversion, the Refinery Crude Purchase Fee Price applicable to the Refinery Crude Purchase Fee and the assumed net daily crude runs of 50,000 Barrels per day through the Expiration Date shall no longer be applicable (but the Refinery Crude Purchase Fee Price shall continue to apply to any Crude Oil or Products subject to such intermediation facility) and (ii) Company shall, in consultation with Aron, re-allocate all Products Groups to the maximum extent possible to finished Product Groups.

ARTICLE 15

TAXES

15.1 (a) The Company shall pay and indemnify and hold Aron harmless against, the amount of all sales, use, gross receipts, value added, severance, ad valorem, excise, property, spill, environmental, transaction-based, or similar taxes, duties and fees, howsoever designated regardless of the taxing authority, and all penalties and interest thereon, except to the extent such penalties and interest are due to the willful misconduct of Aron (each, a “Tax” and collectively, “Taxes”), paid, owing, asserted against, or incurred by Aron directly or indirectly with respect to the Crude Oil procured and sold to Company hereunder, and the Products purchased and resold to Company hereunder, and other transactions contemplated hereunder to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law; in the event that the Company is not permitted to pay such Taxes, the amount due hereunder shall be adjusted by Aron such that the Company shall bear the economic burden of the Taxes. The Company shall pay when due such Taxes unless there is an

116

applicable exemption from such Tax, with written confirmation of such Tax exemption to be contemporaneously provided to Aron. To the extent Aron is required by law to collect such Taxes, one hundred percent (100%) of such Taxes shall be added to invoices as separately stated charges and paid in full by the Company in accordance with this Agreement, unless the Company is exempt from such Taxes and furnishes Aron with a certificate of exemption; provided, however, that (i) the failure of Aron to separately state or collect Taxes from the Company shall not alter the liability of the Company for Taxes and (ii) Aron shall only be liable for Taxes if and to the extent that such Taxes have been separately stated and collected from the Company. Any refund or credit with respect to any Taxes paid or indemnified by Company hereunder shall belong to Company. Aron shall be responsible for all taxes imposed on Aron’s net or gross (or any derivative thereof) income, and the Company shall be responsible for all taxes imposed on the Company’s net or gross (or any derivative thereof) income. For avoidance of doubt, no taxes described in the immediately preceding sentence shall include gross receipts taxes described in the first sentence of this Section 15.1(a).

(b) In addition to paragraph (a), the Company shall complete and file all necessary property tax returns on Aron’s behalf with respect to Crude Oil and Products, regardless of whether property tax laws place the obligation to do so on Aron or the Company, disclose Aron’s ownership interest therein, and pay such amounts as due. Provided that the Company pays (or indemnifies Aron for) all property taxes, the Company shall have the first right to claim income tax credits for such property taxes paid and shall be solely responsible for the extent to which such credits are available to or realized by the Company.

15.2 If the Company disagrees with Aron’s determination that any Tax is due with respect to transactions under this Agreement, the Company shall have the right to seek an administrative determination from the applicable taxing authority, or, alternatively, the Company shall have the right to contest any asserted claim for such Taxes, subject to its agreeing to indemnify Aron for the entire amount of such contested Tax should such Tax be deemed applicable. Aron agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company, in the event the Company determines to contest any such Taxes.

ARTICLE 17

FORCE MAJEURE

17.1 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

120

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.

17.2 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 such oral 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.

17.3 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 20. Without limiting any rights of any Non-Affected Party under this Article 17, the parties agree that following notice of an event of Force Majeure, they will consult in good faith to assess potential actions or steps with respect thereto.

17.4 If any Affected Obligation is not terminated pursuant to this Article 17 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.

17.5 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 Aron 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 Aron 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 and any other applicable provisions of this Agreement relating to claims against third parties.

17.6 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

121

Pipelines or Included Tanks 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 Pipelines or Included Tanks 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 and 10.2 hereof.

(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 the Commodity Forward 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 19.2(c), to liquidate and terminate any or all rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Commodity Forward Agreement and such other Transaction Documents; provided that, in the event Aron is the Non-Defaulting Party, neither this Agreement nor the Commodity Forward Agreement shall 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” shall mean (A) 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 and such other Transaction Documents and shall include, if the Company is the Defaulting Party, without limitation, the DD Make-Whole and the Inventory Make-Whole (each as defined below) other than the rights and obligations arising under the Commodity Forward Agreement, plus (B) at the election of the Non-Defaulting Party, the

144

Commodity Forward Settlement Amount. 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, (y) the losses and costs (or gains) incurred or realized (and determined in a commercially reasonable manner) by the Non-Defaulting Party in terminating and liquidating any transactions evidenced by confirmations subject hereto (including the SPM Master Buy/Sell Crude Confirmation, SPM Master Buy/Sell Product Confirmation and any other buy/sell confirmation hereunder) and (z) all losses and costs (or gains) incurred or realized by the Non-Defaulting Party, as a result of the Non-Defaulting Party’s terminating, liquidating, maintaining, obtaining or reestablishing any Related Hedges (including, if Aron is the Non-Defaulting Party, all hedging transactions relating to the Monthly Market Structure Roll Fees); provided further that if the Non-Defaulting Party elects that the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount shall not be included in the determination of the Settlement Amount, the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount and the Settlement Amount shall each become due at the same time pursuant to Section 19.2(f). 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. “DD Make-Whole” means, as of any date of determination, the amount, expressed in U.S. Dollars, equal to (A) an amount of utilization fees that Aron would have earned for the period commencing on such date through the end of the Term (assuming that no Event of Default in respect of the Company would occur) (i) using a per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus the Applicable Spread, and (ii) assuming that the aggregate principal amount of the Discretionary Draw Advance that would be outstanding at all times during such period is equal to $41,250,000.00, plus (B) an amount of the availability fees that Aron would have earned for the period commencing on such date through the end of the Term (assuming that no Event of Default in respect of the Company would occur) (i) using a per annum rate equal to the Discretionary Draw Availability Fee and (ii) assuming an aggregate availability amount equal to the difference between the Discretionary Draw Maximum Commitment Amount and $41,250,000.00, and “Inventory Make-Whole” means, as of any date of determination, the amount, expressed in U.S. Dollars, and in each case determined for the period commencing on such date through the end of the Term (assuming that no Event of Default in respect of the Company would occur) equal to the sum of: (1) the aggregate amount of fees hereunder and, without duplication, under the Fee Letter (other than (x) the Refinery Crude Oil Purchase Fee Price applicable to the Refinery Crude Oil Purchase Fee and (y) any fees applicable to the Discretionary Draw Facility) that would have been paid to Aron during such period and determined by Aron based on the applicable minimum inventory levels specified in Schedule D and the current forward curve and the value per Barrel equal to the sum of the Pricing Values applicable to each Product Group as of the date of determination of the Inventory Make-Whole; plus (2) aggregate amount of the Refinery Crude Oil Purchase Fee Price applicable to the Refinery Crude Oil Purchase Fee for each day during such period based on an assumed net daily Crude Oil runs of 50,000 Barrels per day.

145

(c) The Settlement Amount and the Commodity Forward 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 and the Commodity Forward 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 and/or Commodity Forward Settlement Amount on a single day, but rather may effect such terminations and determine the Settlement Amount and/or Commodity Forward Settlement Amount over a commercially reasonable period of time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that for purposes of determining the Settlement Amount or Commodity Forward Settlement Amount: (1) to the extent the Fee Letter provides for the calculation of any amount to be included in the Settlement Amount or Commodity Forward Settlement Amount, the provisions of the Fee Letter shall be controlling for such purpose; (2) to the extent the Non-Defaulting Party deems it commercially reasonable to do so, it may in referencing values in the futures, forward, swap and options markets for purposes of calculating various elements of the Settlement Amount or Commodity Forward Settlement Amount endeavor to align the dates as of which such reference values are determined; and (3) the Non-Defaulting Party shall discount to present value the DD Make-Whole and Inventory Make-Whole (but not any other component in the calculation of the Settlement Amount) using the Discount Rate 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.

(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, the Commodity Forward Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, (ii) withdraw from storage any and all of the Crude Oil and/or Products then in the Included Locations, (iii) otherwise arrange for the disposition of any Crude Oil and/or Products subject to any outstanding Aron Procurement Contract or Included Purchase Transaction and/or the modification, settlement or termination of such outstanding Aron Procurement Contract or Included Purchase Transaction in such manner as it elects and (iv) liquidate in a commercially reasonable manner any credit support, margin or collateral, to the extent not already in the form of cash (including applying any other margin or collateral) and apply and set off such credit support, margin or collateral or the proceeds thereof against any obligation owing by the Company to Aron (including without limitation the Initial Margin Amount). 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. 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 be liable to Aron for

146

any amount payable by the Company in respect of any of their 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 the Commodity Forward 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 the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount (if the Non-Defaulting Party elects that the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount shall not be included in the determination of the Settlement Amount and it is due to the Defaulting Party), plus any performance security (including any other 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 the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount (if the Non-Defaulting Party elects that the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount shall not be included in the determination of the Settlement Amount and it is due to the Non-Defaulting Party) plus any performance security (including any other 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 (1) Business Day after such amount has been determined. In addition, the Parties acknowledge that, in connection with an Event of Default hereunder, the Step-out Inventory Sales Agreement may be terminated and with respect thereto any rights and remedies available hereunder, under any other agreement between the Parties hereto or the parties thereto, or at law or equity may be exercised.

(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 19.2 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),

147

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 19.2, 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 19.2, 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 Obligations 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 19.1(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) shall 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.

148

(l) THE SETTLEMENT AMOUNT IS DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AND THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT SUCH DAMAGES ARE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE AND THAT THE SETTLEMENT AMOUNT IS INTENDED TO BE A REASONABLE APPROXIMATION OF THE AMOUNT OF SUCH DAMAGES AND NOT A PENALTY.

(m) For the avoidance of doubt and without limitation to Section 19.3, if the Settlement Amount and/or Commodity Forward Settlement Amount is owing to Aron and is not paid when due, such overdue amount shall accrue interest at the Default Interest Rate until such amount shall have been paid in full to Aron

(n) For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Commodity Forward Settlement Amount” shall mean 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 (assuming the satisfaction of the condition precedent in Section 19.2(o) below) under the Commodity Forward Transactions, including (without duplication) all Specified Unwind Costs (as determined with respect to all Corresponding Futures and aggregated into a net amount), and (ii) “Commodity Forward Transaction” means any transaction entered into between Aron and the Company under this Agreement that is a forward agreement within the meaning of §101(53)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(o) Aron and the Company agree that (i) each Commodity Forward Transaction, the rights and obligations thereunder, and the provisions set-out in this Agreement relating to the termination of those Commodity Forward Transactions upon an Event of Default and the determination and payment of the resulting Commodity Forward Settlement Amount shall be deemed to form a separate single agreement between Aron and the Company (the “Commodity Forward Agreement”), and without such agreement each such party would not otherwise enter into any Commodity Forward Transaction; and (ii) each obligation of each party under a Commodity Forward Transaction is subject to the condition precedent that no Event of Default pursuant to Section 19.1 has occurred and is continuing.

19.3 Default Interest.

(a) If any amount payable by the Company under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including any amount payable under this Section 19.3, under Article 9, Article 10, Article 19, Article 20, or in the case of the Guarantor, the Guaranty or otherwise hereunder or thereunder) is not paid when due, whether at its scheduled payment date, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Interest Rate (calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed over a 360 day year) until such amount shall have been paid in full to Aron.

149

(b) For so long as any Event of Default with respect to the Company has occurred and is continuing, interest shall accrue on a daily basis for such period (“Exposure Default Interest”) at the Default Interest Rate (calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed over a 360 day year) on Aron’s daily aggregate exposure to the Company under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents until such Event of Default is no longer occurring, as determined by Aron in a commercially reasonable manner provided that such Exposure Default Interest shall be determined without duplication of any other interest accruing hereunder, including interest accruing at the Default Interest Rate under Section 19.3(a) above.

(c) Any Default Interest Rate interest accruing under Section 19.3(a) or Exposure Default Interest accruing Section 19.3(b) shall be due to Aron on demand or, absent such demand, monthly and shall continue to accrue after occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 19.1(d) hereof, whether or not allowed or allowable in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding.

(d) Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 19.3 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of any Party hereunder.

19.4 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 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 Agreements, the Commodity Forward 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.

150

(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 19.4.

(d) For purposes of this Section 19.4, the term “Affiliate” means “Affiliate” as defined in, and interpreted in accordance with 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k).

ARTICLE 20

SETTLEMENT AT TERMINATION

20.1 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 such other date as the Parties may agree shall be the “Termination Date”; provided that if such date is not a Business Day, any payments due on such date shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day), the Parties covenant and agree to proceed as provided in this Article 20; provided that (x) this Agreement shall continue in effect following the Termination Date until all obligations are finally settled as contemplated by this Article 20 and (y) the provisions of this Article 20 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 19 above or otherwise:

(a) If any Aron Procurement Contract does not either (i) by its terms automatically become assigned to the Company on and as of the Termination Date in a

151

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, (w) such Aron Procurement Contract shall be assigned to the Company or shall be terminated, (x) all rights and obligations of Aron under each of the then outstanding Aron Procurement Contracts shall be assigned to the Company, (y) the Company shall assume all of such obligations to be paid or performed following such termination, and (z) 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 Aron 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 Aron 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 commitment 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 Aron 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

152

released by the third party service providers thereunder and the Company from any further obligations with respect to such Ancillary Contract.

(d) The volume of Crude Oil and Products at the Included Locations shall be purchased and transferred as contemplated in the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement. 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 20.2. The Parties shall promptly exchange all information necessary to determine the estimates and final calculations contemplated by Section 20.2.

(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 Aron 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.

20.2 Termination Amount.

(a) The “Termination Amount” shall equal:

(i) Any unpaid amounts owed by the Company to Aron pursuant to 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

153

(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 any fee owed to Aron pursuant to Article 11 (including any Discretionary Draw Availability Fee or Discretionary Draw Utilization Fee); 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, plus

(viii) any early termination fees owed to Aron pursuant to Section 3.3, plus

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

(x) all unpaid amounts payable under the Marketing and Sales Agreement by Aron to the Company for services provided up to the Termination Date.

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 in good faith each of such components and use such estimated components to determine an estimate of the Termination Amount (the “Estimated Termination Amount”); provided that the Parties agree that Aron shall continue to hold the Initial Margin Amount until final settlement is completed pursuant to Section 20.2(c). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties agree that the amount due under Section 20.2(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 under and as defined in Schedule B and other price terms provided for herein with respect to the purchase of the Termination Date Volumes. Aron shall use its

154

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 p.m. HST 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., HST 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) On or before ten (10) Business Days following the Termination Date, 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 20.2(b) and the Initial Margin 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 (but in any event within five (5) Business Days), Aron shall (x) cause any filing or recording of any UCC financing forms to be terminated, (y) release and terminate all Lien Documents pursuant to one or more instruments mutually acceptable to the Parties and (z) deliver, re-assign, reconvey and transfer, as applicable, to the Company any other Collateral or credit support held or maintained by Aron (including, without limitation, the remaining balance, if any, of the Initial Margin Amount after giving effect to this Article 20).

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Aron shall not have any obligation to make any payment contemplated by this Section 20.2, transfer of title to Crude Oil or Products or to otherwise cooperate in the transition matters described in Section 20.1 unless (i) the Company shall have performed its obligations under the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement and this Section 20.02 as and when required pursuant to the terms hereof and thereof, and (ii) except as otherwise agreed by the Parties, the Master Agreement and all Transactions outstanding thereunder have been terminated and all amounts due with respect to such terminated Transactions shall have been paid in full.

20.3 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.

155

ARTICLE 21

Any other assignment by Aron shall require the Company’s consent.

26.3 Participations.

(a) Upon prior notice to the Company, Aron shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person in all or any portion of the transactions contemplated pursuant to the Transaction Documents, including the Obligations; provided that, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in respect of the Company, Aron shall not sell such participations in excess of forty-nine percent (49%) of such transactions in the aggregate; provided that (A) Aron’s Obligations under the Transaction Documents shall remain unchanged, (B) Aron shall remain solely responsible to the Company for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Company shall continue to deal solely and directly with Aron in connection with Aron’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Unless otherwise required by the IRS, any disclosure required by the foregoing sentence shall be made by Aron directly and solely to the IRS. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Aron shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(b) The holder of any such participation shall not be entitled to require Aron to take or omit to take any action hereunder, except that any participation agreement may

160

provide that the participant’s consent must be obtained with respect to the consent of Aron to any waiver, amendment, modification or consent the effect of which would be to:

(i) (x) increase any commitment or obligation of Aron to purchase or sell Crude Oil or Products or make or increase the Discretionary Draw Advance, in each case, other than any decisions by Aron to enter into Aron Procurement Contracts or (y) postpone the scheduled expiration date of any of those matters addressed in (and not excepted from) the foregoing clause (x) (it being understood that no waiver, amendment or other modification of any condition precedent, covenant, Default or Event of Default shall constitute an increase in any commitment or obligation of Aron for purposes of this Section 26.3(b)(i));

(ii) extend the Term;

(iii) waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled payment under the Transaction Documents (but not any voluntary prepayment of the Discretionary Draw Advance);

(iv) reduce the rate of any fee or premium payable under the Transaction Documents, or waive or postpone the time for payment of any such fee or premium;

(c) The Company agrees that (x) each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 30.13 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein), and, to the extent such participant holds a participation in any Obligations arising under the Financing Agreement, Sections 11.15 and 11.16 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were Aron and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 26.2 and (y) such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 11.15 or 11.16 with respect to any participation than Aron would have been entitled to receive with respect to such participation sold to such participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be

161

entitled to the benefits of any set-off and recoupment provisions relating to the portion of the Obligations in which it is participating as though it were Aron.

26.4 Certain Other Transfers. In addition to any other assignment or participation permitted pursuant to this Article 26, Aron may assign, pledge and/or grant a security interest in all or any portion of the Obligations owed to it to secure obligations of Aron, including to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any operating circular issued by any Federal Reserve Bank or to any other central bank; provided that, Aron shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents as a result of any such assignment and pledge; and provided further that in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, other central bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be “Aron” hereunder or under any other Transaction Document

26.5 Any attempted assignment in violation of this Article 26 shall be null and void ab initio and the non-assigning Party shall have the right, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies it may have hereunder or otherwise, to terminate this Agreement effective immediately upon notice to the Party attempting such assignment.

The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of, or Event of Default or Default under, this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other breach of that provision or as a waiver of any breach of another provision of, Event of Default or Default under, this Agreement, whether of a like kind or different nature.

ARTICLE 31

FORWARD JET FUEL TRANSACTION WITH PROVISIONAL PAYMENT

31.1 Forward Transaction. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Article 31, the Parties have entered to a forward transaction for the sale by the Company and the purchase by Aron of volumes of Jet Fuel (as defined below) to be delivered over an agreed period with payment to be made by Aron in a provisional payment subject to subsequent intra-month and monthly true ups (the “Forward Jet Fuel Transaction”).

31.2 Transaction Commencement. Subject to satisfaction of the conditions in Section 31.9, commencing on May 8, 2017 or such later date as the Parties shall agree (the “Forward Transaction Commencement Date”), the Company shall be obligated to sell and deliver to Aron, and Aron shall be obligated to purchase and receive from the Company, the monthly Jet Fuel volumes as indicated on Schedule BB hereto; provided that (i) each calendar month listed on Schedule BB during which Jet Fuel volumes are to be delivered under the Forward Jet Fuel Transaction shall be a “Forward Delivery Month” hereunder, (ii) the price specified on such Schedule for each Forward Delivery Month shall be the “Specified Index Price” for such month and (iii) the Jet Fuel volume to be delivered by the Company during any Forward Delivery Month shall be the “Monthly Forward Volume” for such month.

31.3 Provisional Payment. Provided that the conditions in Section 31.9 have been satisfied and no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Company has occurred and is continuing on the Forward Transaction Commencement Date, Aron shall pay to the Company, a provisional payment under the Forward Jet Fuel Transaction in the amount of $30,039,211.30 (the “Provisional Payment”).

31.4 Monthly True-Up under Forward Jet Fuel Transaction.

(a) For each Forward Delivery Month, Aron shall determine the actual volume of Jet Fuel that the Company has delivered during such month under the Forward Jet Fuel Transaction (the “Actual Forward Delivered Volume”), which shall equal the lesser of (A) the Monthly Forward Volume for such month and (B) the Monthly Produced Volume for Jet Fuel for such month.

166

(b) For each Forward Delivery Month, Aron shall determine a true up payment (the “Monthly Forward True-Up Amount”) which shall equal:

(i) (x) the Index Amount for Jet Fuel for such month minus the Specified Index Price for such Forward Delivery Month, multiplied by (y) the Actual Forward Delivered Volume for such month, multiplied by -1; minus

(ii) The Cumulative Daily Forward Settlement for such Forward Delivery Month.

(iii) The Monthly Forward True-Up Amount shall be incorporated as provided in Schedule C hereto and as result shall be paid as part of the Monthly True-up Amount due under Section 10.2.

31.5 Volume Shortfalls.

(a) If for any Forward Delivery Month, the Monthly Forward Volume exceeds the Actual Forward Delivered Volume (a “Monthly Volumetric Shortfall”), then the Company shall be obligated to compensate Aron for such Monthly Volumetric Shortfall no later than the Shortfall Settlement Date by making a cash payment to Aron in an amount equal to the product of (x) the Monthly Volumetric Shortfall and (y) the Specified Index Price for such Forward Delivery Month (the “Shortfall Value”).

(b) If the Company has not settled a Monthly Volumetric Shortfall on or before the Shortfall Settlement Date, then (A) an Event of Default with respect to the Company shall occur hereunder and (B) without limiting the foregoing, interest shall accrue on such Shortfall Value (based on actual days elapsed over a 365 day year) during each monthly period from and after such Shortfall Settlement Date until such settlement occurs, at an annual rate of equal to the Discount Rate for the first monthly period which rate shall increase by 1% for each subsequent monthly period, all of which accrued interest shall be due from time to time upon demand by Aron and in any event no later than the settlement of such Monthly Volumetric Shortfall.

31.6 Delivery and Specifications. Unless otherwise agreed by Aron, all deliveries of Jet Fuel delivered under the Forward Jet Fuel Transaction shall be in accordance with Section 8.5 above and all such Products shall conform to the specification requirements under Section 8.6 above.

31.7 Adjustment to Interim Payments. For each Forward Delivery Month, the Interim Payments determined for each day during such month under Section 10.1 hereof shall be adjusted in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) For each day during a Forward Delivery Month, Aron shall estimate (i) the Daily Produced Volume for such day using the Best Available Inventory Data; provided that if inventory data have not been reported on any day within a three (3) Business Day period, Aron will use the inventory data for the day occurring during the thirty (30) day

167

period preceding such calendar day that results in the smallest Estimated Daily Net Product Sales for Jet Fuel; provided further that, if any Party determines that any inventory data Aron has used in such determination was materially inaccurate, then Aron shall adjust future Daily Forward Settlements to take account of any corrected inventory data, and (ii) the aggregate volume of Jet Fuel that has been delivered to Aron from the first day of such Forward Delivery Month through such day, up to an aggregate volume not exceeding the Monthly Forward Volume for such Forward Delivery Month (the “Estimated Monthly Forward Volume”). All such estimates shall be made by Aron in a commercially reasonable manner based on the available inventory data and otherwise in the manner contemplated above, and to the extent it deems appropriate taking into account such other data as may be relevant to the determination of such estimates.

(b) If, as of any day during a Forward Delivery Month, the Estimated Monthly Forward Volume equals the Monthly Forward Volume for such month, then for such day (or portion of such day) and for all days occurring thereafter during such month, the Daily Produced Volume shall be zero.

31.8 Daily Forward Settlements. For each day during a Forward Delivery Month, Aron shall calculate a provisional settlement with respect to the Daily Produced Volume for such day (each, a “Daily Forward Settlement”) as provided in this Section 31.8. For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Daily Value for each day shall be the Daily Value for the Jet Fuel Product Group as determined under Section 10.1 and (ii) the Specified Index Price for such day shall be the Specified Index Price for the Forward Delivery Month during which such day occurs. The Daily Forward Settlement for any day shall equal (x) the Specified Index Price for such month minus the Daily Value multiplied by the (y) Daily Produced volume. If the resulting figure is positive, that amount shall be due from the Company to Aron. If the resulting figure is negative, the absolute value of that amount shall be due from Aron to the Company. Payment of the Daily Forward Settlement for any day shall be due on the same date as the Interim Payment for that day and shall be, as appropriate, aggregated with or netted against such Interim Payment determined under Section 10.1(a) hereof.

31.9 Conditions. The obligation of Aron to purchase Jet Fuel and make the payments for such Jet Fuel contemplated by this Article 31 shall be subject to satisfaction of the following conditions precedent on and as of a date occurring no later than May 8, 2017 (the “Transaction Cutoff Date”):

(a) All representations and warranties of the Company contained herein shall be true and correct on and as of such date and no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Company shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(b) Aron shall have received such certificates, documents, instruments and opinion letters from the Company and its representatives as Aron may reasonably request in connection with the commencement of the Forward Jet Fuel Transaction, including an officer’s certificate dated as of the Forward Transaction Commencement Date confirming that no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Company has occurred and is

168

continuing on such day and all other applicable conditions to the Forward Transaction Commencement Date are then satisfied.

(c) The Company agrees that it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of the foregoing conditions to be satisfied on or before the Transaction Cutoff Date.

31.10 Remedies upon Event of Default. If an Event of Default with respect to the Company occurs and Aron exercises its remedies under Section 19.2 hereof, then without limiting any rights and remedies that Aron may have thereunder, under the Transaction Documents or otherwise, it is agreed that with respect to the Forward Jet Fuel Transaction:

(a) Aron shall terminate, close-out and liquidate the Forward Jet Fuel Transaction (including, without limitation, all obligations to make any Provisional Payments thereunder) and determine a Settlement Amount (as defined in Section 19.2(b) hereof) for the Forward Jet Fuel Transaction; provided that such Settlement Amount shall be determined with respect to the period from the date of such termination through the end of the final Forward Delivery Month (the “Remaining Tenor”) by calculating, for each Forward Delivery Month (or portion thereof) during the Remaining Tenor, the product of the relevant Monthly Forward Volume and Specified Index Price, discounting each such product from the end of the relevant Forward Delivery Month to the date of termination at the Discount Rate, and taking the sum of such discounted amounts; provided further that such Settlement Amount shall also take account of any Forward Transaction Obligations then due and owing and all losses and costs which Aron incurs as a result of maintaining, terminating or obtaining any related hedge positions and in doing so Aron may use such pricing and rate references as Aron deems appropriate in its commercially reasonable judgment, including references to such futures, forward, swap and options markets as it shall select in its reasonable judgment; and

(b) The Settlement Amount determined under clause (i) above shall constitute a Settlement Amount for all purposes of Section 19.2 hereof.

The foregoing shall in no way limit or be deemed to limit Aron’s rights under the Lien Documents, including its rights to apply the proceeds of any collateral to any obligations secured thereby.

31.11 Settlement at Termination. In the event this Agreement terminates pursuant to Article 20 hereof, the following provisions shall apply with respect to the Forward Jet Fuel Transaction:

(a) All amounts due between the parties (including any Settlement Amount determined under clause (i) above) shall be included in the Termination Amount under Section 20.2(a); and

(b) In determining the Estimated Termination Amount and the Termination Holdback Amount, Aron may, in its commercially reasonable judgment, take account of

169

any amounts due under the Forward Jet Fuel Transaction that will not be definitively determined as of the Termination Date and/or which will be subject to any true-up or adjustment following the Termination Date.

31.12 Early Termination of Forward Jet Fuel Transaction.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company may, in its sole discretion and upon no less than 45 days’ notice to Aron and effective on the first calendar day of the following month for purposes of determining the Outstanding Forward Amount, terminate the Forward Jet Fuel Transaction, in whole but not in part, at any time following Forward Transaction Commencement Date (a “Forward Transaction Early Termination”). In order to effectuate any Forward Transaction Early Termination, the Company shall on the proposed date of such Forward Transaction Early Termination pay to Aron, in immediately available funds, and without any set-off or counterclaim, an amount equal to the Outstanding Forward Amount as of such date.

(b) Notwithstanding the conditions specified in Section 31.12(a), at the Company’s request, the Parties hereby agree that a Forward Transaction Early Termination occurred effective on December 21, 2017 and that, accordingly, the Company paid to Aron $26,438,149.52 on such date.

31.13 Use of Proceeds. The Parties acknowledge that the payments received from Aron under the Forward Jet Fuel Transaction were used to make a one-time “restricted payment” under Section 5(b)(iii)(C) of the Pledge and Security Agreement as in effect at the time of such payments, which Section has been deleted as of the First Restatement Effective Date.
