Commercial Agreements
PBF Holding entered into long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with PBFX. Under these agreements, PBFX provides various rail and truck terminaling and storage services to PBF Holding and PBF Holding has committed to provide PBFX with minimum fees based on minimum monthly throughput volumes. The fees under each of these agreements are indexed for inflation and any increase in operating costs for providing such services to the Company. Prior to the PBFX Offering, the DCR Rail Terminal, Toledo Truck Terminal, the DCR West Rack and the Toledo Storage Facility and other assets contributed to PBFX subsequent to the PBFX Offering were owned, operated and maintained by PBF Holding. Therefore, PBF Holding did not previously pay a fee for the utilization of the facilities.
On April 29, 2016, PBFX closed on the purchase of four refined product terminals located in the greater Philadelphia region (the "East Coast Terminals") from an affiliate of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (the "PBFX Plains Asset Purchase"). In connection with the PBFX Plains Asset Purchase, PBFX assumed certain commercial agreements that Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. had previously entered into with PBF Holding and subsequent to the PBFX Plains Asset Purchase on April 29, 2016, PBF Holding entered into additional commercial agreements with PBFX related to the East Coast Terminals. These agreements have initial terms ranging from approximately three months to one year and include: 
tank lease agreements, under which PBFX provides tank lease services to PBF Holding at the East Coast Terminals, with fees ranging from $0.45 to $0.55 per barrel received into the tank, up to 448,000 barrels, and $0.30 to $0.351 for all additional barrels received in excess of that amount. Additionally, the lease agreements include ancillary fees for tank to tank transfers; and
terminaling service agreements, under which PBFX provides terminaling and other services to PBF Holding at the East Coast Terminals, with fees ranging from $0.10 to $1.25 per barrel based on services provided, with additional flat rate fees for certain unloading/loading activities at the terminal.
The tank lease agreements contain minimum requirements for the amount of leased tank capacity contracted by PBF Holding. Additionally, the fees under each commercial agreement are indexed for inflation based on the changes in the U.S Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (the “CPI-U”). Each of these commercial agreements also include automatic renewal options ranging from three months to one year terms, unless written notice is provided by either PBFX or PBF Holding thirty days prior to the end of the previous term.
Below is a summary of the commercial agreements entered into during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 with PBFX having initial terms ranging from seven to ten years and corresponding fees for the use of each of the assets (no such agreements were entered into in the six months ended June 30, 2016 other than in connection with the PBFX Plains Asset Purchase). Each of these commercial agreements contains minimum volume commitments. The fees under each commercial agreement are indexed for inflation and the agreements give PBF Holding the option to renew for two additional five year terms following the expiration of the initial term.
A rail terminaling services agreement with PBFX with an initial term of approximately seven years, under which PBFX provides terminaling services at the DCR Rail Terminal (the "DCR Terminaling Agreement"). Pursuant to the DCR Terminaling Agreement, and based on the change in the U.S. Producer Price Index (the “PPI”), effective January 1, 2016, the terminaling service fee was decreased to $2.014 per barrel up to the minimum throughput commitment and $0.503 per barrel for volumes that exceed the minimum throughput commitment;
A truck unloading and terminaling services agreement with PBFX, with an initial term of approximately seven years, under which PBFX provides terminaling services at the Toledo Truck Terminal (the "Toledo Terminaling Agreement"). Pursuant to the Toledo Terminaling Agreement, and based on the change in the PPI, effective January 1, 2016, the terminaling service fee was decreased to $1.007 per barrel;
A terminaling services agreement, with an initial term of approximately seven years, under which PBFX provides rail terminaling services to PBF Holding at the DCR West Rack (the "West Ladder Rack Terminaling Agreement");
A storage and terminaling services agreement, with an initial term of ten years, under which PBFX provides storage and terminaling services to PBF Holding at the Toledo Storage Facility (the "Toledo Storage Facility Storage and Terminaling Agreement"). Additionally, the Toledo Storage Facility Storage and Terminaling Agreement contains minimum requirements for the amount of storage contracted by PBF Holding;
A pipeline service agreement with PBFX, with an initial term of approximately ten years, under which PBFX, through Delaware Pipeline Company (“DPC”), provides pipeline services to PBF Holding at the Delaware City Products Pipeline (the "Delaware City Pipeline Services Agreement"); and
A truck loading service agreement with PBFX, with an initial term of approximately ten years, under which PBFX, through Delaware City Logistics Company LLC (“DCLC”), provides terminaling services to PBF Holding at the Delaware City Truck Rack (the "Delaware City Truck Loading Agreement").
Other Agreements
In addition to the commercial agreements described above, PBF Holding also entered into an omnibus agreement with PBFX, PBF GP and PBF LLC, which addresses the payment of an annual fee, in the amount of $2,350 per year, for the provision of various general and administrative services, among other matters (as amended from time to time, the "Omnibus Agreement"). PBF Holding and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an operation and management services and secondment agreement with PBFX under which PBFX reimburses PBF Holding for the provision of certain operational services to PBFX in support of its operations, including operational services performed by certain of PBF Holding's field-level employees (as amended from time to time, the "Services Agreement").
