Re:

Framework Agreement for Commodity Swap Transactions

 

Dear Sir or Madam,

 

Wells Fargo and the Company (each a “Party” and together the “Parties”) wish to facilitate the process of entering into swap transactions between them from time to time in respect of certain quantities of soybean oil and crude oil and accordingly agree as set out in this letter agreement (this “Agreement”).

 

1.

Term & Exclusivity

 

(a)

The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the date on which the Company has delivered all documents required to be delivered by it pursuant to Part 3 of the Schedule to the ISDA Master Agreement and shall end on the date falling one year thereafter (subject to sub-clause (b) below) (the “Initial Term”); provided that the Term shall be automatically extended on an evergreen basis thereafter; provided further either Party may terminate this Agreement as of any date falling on or after the end of the Initial Term by providing the other Party with at least 90 calendar days’ prior written notice.

 

(b)

If an “Early Termination Date” is duly designated under the ISDA Master Agreement in respect of all outstanding Swap Transactions, this Agreement shall terminate on the Release Date.

 

(c)

Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, the Company agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly:

 

 

(i)

engage in any discussions with another trading counterpart or financing provider regarding the execution of any Inventory Monetization Transaction, solicit or accept a proposal or commitment from a third party for an Inventory Monetization Transaction or otherwise permit or encourage another person to solicit or provide an inventory monetization proposal or conduct due diligence in connection with an Inventory Monetization Transaction proposal at any time prior to the date falling six months after the commencement of the Term;

 

 

(ii)

execute definitive documentation with respect to any Inventory Monetization Transaction (other than that constituted by the Transaction Documents) at any time prior the date falling 90 calendar days prior to the end of the Initial Term (or period that would be the Initial Term but for the early termination of this Agreement), and provided that it has given notice to Wells Fargo (or has received notice from Wells Fargo) pursuant to sub-clause (a) above that this Agreement shall not be automatically extended;

 

 

(iii)

receive any advance of funds (howsoever described) pursuant to any Inventory Monetization Transaction (other than that constituted by the Transaction Documents) at any time during the Initial Term (or period that would be the Initial Term but for the early termination of this Agreement).

 

 

 

 

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not restrict or prevent the Company in any way with respect to soliciting or accepting any secured debt financing that does not constitute an Inventory Monetization Transaction. For the purposes of the foregoing, “Inventory Monetization Transaction” means a transaction pursuant to which a party advances funds to the Company against either (1) financing provided on an inventory title transfer basis or (2) an economically equivalent synthetic transaction pursuant to which the third party undertakes direct commodity price risk with respect to the relevant commodity inventory owned by the Company, in either case in relation to the Company’s inventory or supply chain of soybean oil, other renewable feedstocks and renewable hydrocarbon products at or to the Refinery, the Offsite Storage Locations or any other Approved Locations.

 

(d)

The Company may, from time to time, request the inclusion of additional Approved Locations for the purposes of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, in which case:

 

 

(i)

any additional Approved Tank proposed by the Company that is located at the Refinery or an existing Offsite Storage Location shall be subject to Wells Fargo’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;

 

 

(ii)

any additional Approved Location proposed by the Company that is located in Hawaii or any other state of the United States and is duly licensed and capable of storing Commodities in accordance with Good Industry Practices shall be subject to Wells Fargo’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and

 

 

(iii)

any additional Approved Location proposed by the Company not falling within sub-clause (i) or (ii) above shall be considered in good faith by Wells Fargo with no obligation to accept such proposal.

 

(e)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Transaction Documents, a soybean oil, other feedstocks and renewable products storage and/or transportation facility or vessel shall cease to be an Approved Location for the purposes of this Agreement and the ISDA Master Agreement if (i) a Storage Facility Event or a Hazardous Event occurs with respect to such facility or vessel or (ii) in the event of a change of Storage Operator without the prior consent of Wells Fargo, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that to the extent a Storage Facility Event or Hazardous Event relates only to an identifiable part of an Approved Location (with the Collateral Inventory stored in the rest of that Approved Location remaining safely stored and fully accessible), the foregoing exclusion shall apply only to the part affected by that Storage Facility Event or Hazardous Event, as the case may be.

 

(f)

The Company may, by written notice to Wells Fargo no later than the time it delivers its Weekly Inventory Report in respect of any Weekly Observation Date, elect that one or more Approved Locations temporarily cease to constitute Approved Locations for the purposes of this Agreement and the ISDA Master Agreement, with effect from and including that Weekly Observation Date (or such earlier date as the Parties may mutually agree, which date shall also constitute a “Valuation Date” for the purposes of the CSA) until further notice.

 

2

 

(g)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Transaction Document, any storage and/or transportation facility or vessel that ceases to constitute an Approved Location for the purposes of this Agreement and the ISDA Master Agreement shall continue to constitute an Approved Location for the purposes of the Security Agreement until such time as Wells Fargo (acting reasonably, in good faith and promptly following the time when such facility or vessel is delisted as an Approved Location) notifies the Company either (a) that all amounts payable by the Company to Wells Fargo (if any) determined by reference to the delisting of that Approved Location have been irrevocably paid in full or (b) that the delisting of that Approved Location would not result in a “Delivery Amount” owing from the Company pursuant to the CSA (or a reduction to the “Return Amount” that would otherwise be owing from Wells Fargo to the Company) in respect of the next “Valuation Date” thereunder; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, if any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Company upon or after withdrawal from the relevant Approved Location, then so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the lien created pursuant to the Security Agreement in such Collateral shall be automatically released.

 

(h)

The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate and enter into (i) the LC Facility Agreement and related ancillary documents (including without limitation the Deposit Account Control Agreement) and (ii) any consequential amendments to the other Transaction Documents (including without limitation the Guaranty and the Security Agreement) to contain conforming changes to reflect the entry into the LC Facility Agreement, in each case subject to and on substantially similar economic terms to those set out in the Letter of Intent, including the attachments thereto, entered into between Wells Fargo and the Company dated June 25, 2025.

 

(i)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Transaction Documents, the Parties acknowledge and agree that no Swap Transactions shall be entered into hereunder unless and until the assets identified in sub-clause (j) of the definition of “Contributed Assets” have been conveyed to the Company by Par Pacific Holdings, Inc., as set out in and in accordance with the Equity Contribution Agreement, where “Equity Contribution Agreement” means that certain Equity Contribution Agreement among the Company, Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. and Alohi Renewable Energy LLC dated July 21, 2025.

 

(j)

No later than thirty (30) days after the date hereof (or such longer period as may be approved by Wells Fargo in its commercially reasonable discretion), the Company shall ensure that the remainder of the “Contributed Assets” have been conveyed to the Company by Par Pacific Holdings, Inc., as defined in and in accordance with the Equity Contribution Agreement.

 

2.

Series of Swap Transactions

 

(a)

Wells Fargo and the Company agree that on each Monthly Observation Date during the Term (such Monthly Observation Date being the “Trade Date” for the relevant series) they may (but neither Party shall be obliged to) enter into a series of commodity swap transactions (each a “Swap Transaction”), each evidenced by a confirmation substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 3 (Form of Confirmation), completed in the manner described therein, and supplementing, forming part of, and subject to the ISDA Master Agreement.

 

3

 

(b)

Each such series shall correspond to the calendar month immediately following the calendar month in which that Monthly Observation Date falls (the relevant “New Month”).

 

(c)

Each such series shall comprise a number of separate and independent Swap Transactions (without prejudice to Section 1(c) (Single Agreement) of the ISDA Master Agreement) having consecutive one-week terms, as follows:

 

 

(i)

the first such Swap Transaction in each such series shall have an Effective Date falling on that Monthly Observation Date and a Swap Valuation Date falling on the immediately following Weekly Observation Date;

 

 

(ii)

the intermediate Swap Transactions in each such series shall each have an Effective Date falling on the Swap Valuation Date of the preceding Swap Transaction and a Swap Valuation Date falling on the immediately following Weekly Observation Date; and

 

 

(iii)

the final Swap Transaction in each such series shall have an Effective Date falling on the Swap Valuation Date of the preceding Swap Transaction and a Swap Valuation Date falling on the Monthly Observation Date occurring in that New Month,

 

and accordingly each such series shall constitute the initial Monthly Series of Swap Transactions in respect of that New Month.

 

(d)

The Notional Quantity in respect of each Commodity Group for each Swap Transaction entered into pursuant to sub-clause (c) above shall be an amount of that Commodity Group equal to the lower of:

 

 

(i)

the minimum forecast aggregate quantity of each Commodity composing that Commodity Group across all Approved Locations in the period (x) from (and including) the Month-Start Date (y) to (and including) the Month-End Date for the relevant Monthly Series of Swap Transactions, as set out in the most recent Monthly Inventory Forecast as of the Trade Date; and

 

 

(ii)

the amount of that Commodity Group (rounded down to the nearest integral multiple of the applicable lot size on the relevant Exchange) having a value equal to (A) the Commodity Limit; multiplied by (B) the percentage representing the pro rata volumetric proportion of the total Collateral Inventory volume (as of the relevant Month-Start Date) represented by that Commodity Group; divided by (C) the Hedged Advance Rate.

 

(e)

The Parties acknowledge that the aggregate of the Prepayment Amounts across each of the initial Swap Transactions of each Monthly Series will be payable on the same Prepayment Date.

3.

Incremental Swaps in Relation to Cargoes

 

If the Company purchases a cargo (or cargoes) of a Commodity for delivery via an Approved Vessel to the Refinery System (or, in the case of cargos for which the Company has requested Wells Fargo to issue a letter of credit, a vessel that will become an Approved Vessel immediately upon delivery of the relevant bills of lading to Wells Fargo), the Parties may agree to enter an incremental series of Swap Transactions on identical terms to the initial Swap Transactions of the then-current Monthly Series, except that:

 

 

(a)

the first such incremental Swap Transaction shall have (i) an Effective Date falling on the later of (A) the Trade Date and (B) the Business Day after the day on which the relevant vessel becomes an Approved Vessel (or the first Business Day thereafter, if such day is not a Business Day) and (ii) a Swap Valuation Date falling on the Swap Valuation Date of the Current Swap Transaction, where “Current Swap Transaction” means, as of the Effective Date of that incremental Swap Transaction, the Swap Transaction for which that date falls on or after the Effective Date and prior to the Swap Valuation Date;

 

 

(b)

the remaining incremental Swap Transactions, if any, shall have tenors equivalent to the other existing Swap Transactions, if any, in the relevant Monthly Series for which the Effective Date has not occurred;

 

 

(c)

the Notional Quantity of each Commodity Group for each incremental Swap Transaction shall be equal to the volume specified in the bill of lading of the relevant cargo where the cargo is of a Commodity of that Commodity Group, and zero otherwise (subject to an aggregate limit as set out in sub-clause 2(d)(ii) above when taken together with all other Swap Transactions of that Monthly Series);

 

 

(d)

the Fixed Price of each Commodity Group for each such incremental Swap Transaction shall be the relevant Commodity Reference Price in respect of the Effective Date for that incremental Swap Transaction for the contract month corresponding to the Swap Valuation Date or the contract month as mutually agreed upon; and

 

 

(e)

(i) the Prepayment Amount for each such incremental Swap Transaction shall be an amount equal to the Incremental Prepayment Cap (unless otherwise agreed between the Parties); (ii) if such incremental Swap Transaction relates to a cargo in connection with which Wells Fargo has issued a letter of credit, the Prepayment Date shall be the Business Day immediately following the “Ad Hoc LC Valuation Date” occurring under the CSA in relation to the relevant cargo, and otherwise the Prepayment Date shall be the second Business Day following the first “Valuation Date” under the CSA on which such cargo forms part of the “Total Commodity Inventory Volume” as defined in the CSA; and (iii) such Prepayment Amount shall be payable by Wells Fargo into the Supplier Payables Account (in aggregate with the Prepayment Amounts for each of the other incremental Swap Transactions relating to that cargo, if any),

 

and any incremental Swap Transactions entered into pursuant to this clause 3 shall constitute part of the relevant Monthly Series for all purposes.

4.

Commodities, Inventory Reporting and Inspection

 

(a)

The Commodity Groups and Commodities as of the date of this Agreement are identified in Schedule 1 (Commodity Groups and Commodities) hereto.

 

(b)

Not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on each Weekly Observation Date during the Term, the Company shall provide Wells Fargo with an inventory report (each a “Weekly Inventory Report”) in the form substantially agreed between the Parties prior to the date of this Agreement and containing the aggregate quantity of each Commodity constituting part of the Collateral Inventory in each Approved Location as of the Inventory Determination Time on that Weekly Observation Date, prepared in accordance with Good Industry Practices.

 

(c)

Not later than 4:00 p.m. (Hawaii time) on the Business Day immediately preceding each Monthly Observation Date during the Term, the Company shall provide Wells Fargo with an inventory report (each a “Monthly Inventory Forecast”) in the form substantially agreed between the Parties prior to the date of this Agreement and containing the Company’s good faith forecast of the Collateral Inventory in each Approved Location as of the Inventory Determination Time on each calendar day in the following twelve week period, prepared in accordance with Good Industry Practices.

 

(d)

Without duplication of any information requests by the Inspector appointed pursuant to sub-clause (e) herein and subject to the documented costs cap set forth therein, the Company shall provide as available the following information about the Collateral Inventory as Wells Fargo may reasonably request: the origin of any Commodity, the producer, the format of the Documents of Title (if any), the identity of any Storage Operator holding Commodities and to the extent available a material safety data sheet with respect to the Commodities.

 

(e)

Wells Fargo has the right to appoint an independent inspector (the “Inspector”) for the purpose of determining whether any Commodity complies with the quantity, specification and description of the Commodities contained in each Weekly Inventory Report (an “Authorized Inspection”), provided that any such Inspector shall be approved by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In connection with each Authorized Inspection:

 

 

(i)

the Company shall (A) procure the cooperation of each Affiliated Storage Operator with each Authorized Inspection and (B) use its reasonable efforts to procure the cooperation of each relevant Third Party Storage Operator with each Authorized Inspection; and

 

 

(ii)

the terms on which Wells Fargo appoint the relevant Inspector shall provide for the Inspector to carry out any Authorized Inspection in accordance with prudent business practices and in compliance with such health, safety and environmental-related policies and procedures as each relevant Storage Operator may require. The reasonable and documented costs of the Inspector in respect of (i) two Authorized Inspections in any calendar year (in an amount not to exceed $10,000 annually in the aggregate) and (ii) any Authorized Inspection at a time when an Event of Default has occurred in respect of the Company and is continuing pursuant to the ISDA Master Agreement shall be borne by the Company; and the costs of the Inspector in respect of any other Authorized Inspection shall be borne by Wells Fargo; provided that, such inspections shall not materially interfere with the ordinary course of business being conducted at such Approved Locations and shall be conducted in accordance with all Applicable Laws and permits; and provided further that the terms on which Wells Fargo appoint the relevant Inspector shall provide for: (A) the Inspector and its representatives to follow routes and paths designated by the applicable operator or security personnel employed by such operator and (B) the Inspector’s personnel and its representatives to observe Applicable Laws and all security, fire and safety directives, procedures, regulations and guidelines then in effect at such location while, in, around or about such location.

(f)

Upon any agreement between Wells Fargo and the Company to add an Approved Location for the purposes of this Agreement:

 

 

(i)

with respect to an Approved Vessel, the Company shall deliver to Wells Fargo (1) valid, accurate, complete and properly issued bills of lading, (2) certificate of origin, (3) certificates of quality and quantity, (4) location and laycan information in relation to loading and delivery and (5) such other information regarding the relevant vessel and charterparty as Wells Fargo may reasonably request, in relation to the relevant Commodity cargo;

 

 

(ii)

with respect to an Approved Location operated by an Affiliated Storage Operator, the Company shall (A) confirm the relevant Approved Tank(s) with Wells Fargo and (B) provide a Creditor Acknowledgement upon the date of inclusion of such Approved Location; and

 

 

(iii)

with respect to an Approved Location operated by a Third Party Storage Operator (other than an Approved Vessel), the Company shall (A) confirm the relevant Approved Tank(s) with Wells Fargo, (B) promptly (and in any event within five Business Days) send the relevant Storage Operator a Creditor Notice, (C) use commercially reasonable efforts to procure that such Third Party Storage Operator enters into a corresponding Creditor Acknowledgement with the Company and Wells Fargo within 30 calendar days and (D) promptly provide Wells Fargo with copies of, or procure Wells Fargo direct access to, all tank or other inventory reports provided by that Third Party Storage Operator to the Company in respect of the relevant Approved Location(s).

 

(g)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the ISDA Master Agreement, no Storage Facility Event or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred under any Transaction Document as a result of the Company failing (after having used its commercially reasonable efforts) to deliver to Wells Fargo a duly executed Creditor Acknowledgement from a Third Party Storage Operator by the date falling 30 calendar days after (i) the date of this Agreement (in the case of the Initial Creditor Acknowledgements) or (ii) the date of agreement between Wells Fargo and the Company to add a new Approved Location (in the case of any subsequent Creditor Acknowledgements); provided that with effect from and including the first Weekly Observation Date following such deadline, each Approved Location for which the Company has not delivered to Wells Fargo a Creditor Acknowledgement duly executed by the Company and the relevant Third Party Storage Operator or has not paid or posted a letter of credit or a surety bond pursuant to sub-clause 4(h) below shall constitute an “Unacknowledged Location” for the purposes of the CSA.

 

7

 

(h)

If the Company has not delivered a duly executed Creditor Acknowledgement that it is required to deliver pursuant to clause 4(f)(iii) for a relevant Approved Location operated by a Third Party Storage Operator within 30 days of such Approved Location’s inclusion to Wells Fargo (the “Creditor Acknowledgement Due Date”), then the Company shall (as elected by the Company) either (i) pay to Wells Fargo an amount equal to three months of storage fees for such Unacknowledged Location (as determined based on a historical average supported by such evidence as Wells Fargo may reasonably request from time to time) upon the Creditor Acknowledgement Due Date, which Wells Fargo will repay to the Company upon the earlier to occur of (A) two Business Days after the Company’s delivery of a duly executed Creditor Acknowledgement to Wells Fargo or (B) the termination of this Agreement; or (ii) deliver to Wells Fargo a letter of credit or a surety bond on terms and issued by a bank acceptable to Wells Fargo (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) in an amount equal to three months of storage fees for such Unacknowledged Location (as determined based on a historical average).

(f)

maintain and pursue diligently all of its material rights under the Storage Agreements and Creditor Acknowledgements and take all reasonable steps to enforce its rights and any rights granted to it thereunder as and when such agreements are entered into by the Company, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

 

(g)

not modify, amend or waive rights arising under any of the Storage Agreements or the Creditor Acknowledgements as and when such agreements are entered into by the Company without the prior written consent of Wells Fargo (other than extensions of the duration of any such agreement); provided, however, that if the Company provides Wells Fargo with prior written notice, the Company may, without the prior written consent of Wells Fargo, make such modifications, amendments or waivers, including extensions or elections under any of the foregoing, that do not materially and adversely affect Wells Fargo’s rights thereunder, or degrade, reduce or limit the standards previously applicable to the operator thereunder;

 

12
