be construed to prevent or limit any PESRM-MLC CO Secured Prepay Transactions otherwise entered into in accordance with the terms hereof or any other transaction permitted to be entered by PESRM pursuant to Section 3.09(c).  MLC shall sell the Crude Oil to PESRM at the CO Delivery Point in such volumes as PESRM may require for processing at the Refinery, subject to the provisions of Section 3.02.  MLC shall not be required to enter into any CO Supply Contract or PESRM-MLC CO Secured Prepay Transaction if, immediately after entering into such CO Supply Contract or PESRM-MLC CO Secured Prepay Transaction, the types and grades, and the aggregate volume of Crude Oil under all then-outstanding CO Supply Contracts and PESRM-MLC CO Secured Prepay Transactions would vary from the types and grades or exceed the reasonable volume expectations of the Crude Oil requirements for the Refinery for all months covered by such contracts, taking into account the refining capacity of the Refinery, the available capacity of the Basic Infrastructure and anticipated delivery dates of Crude Oil , but not taking into account any limitations imposed on any of the foregoing by any exercise by MLC of its rights under Sections 3.09(e) and 6.25.

 

Section 3.02                             Conditions to Crude Oil Supply Obligation.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article III, all of MLC’s obligations under this Article III are subject to (a) PESRM’s compliance with the Sourcing Protocols as set forth in Section 3.09, (b) the ability of third party suppliers of Crude Oil to MLC to meet MLC’s Credit Requirements, (c) the availability of Crude Oil supply in the market of the types and grades, and in the volumes, specified by PESRM in the applicable PESRM Buy Requests, and (d) no related Applicable Condition having occurred.

(a)                                 At or before 1:00 p.m. ET of each Business Day during the Term commencing on the first Business Day following the Effective Date, PESRM shall provide MLC with a Daily Actual Production Book for each Day of the Term prior to such Business Day for which no Daily Actual Production Book has previously been provided to MLC, subject, in each case, to the Business Day Convention (each, a “Relevant Day”).

 

(b)                                 MLC shall, in its reasonable discretion, determine the types, grades and volumes of Hydrocarbons that were delivered to each applicable delivery point, and purchased and sold, on any Day pursuant to this Agreement, any PESRM Transactions, any CO Supply Contracts, any PESRM-MLC Secured Prepay

Transactions, any RP Sales Contracts and/or any Cover Transactions, as applicable, (i) by reference to the data and information contained in the Daily Actual Production Book in respect of such Day, or (ii) if no Daily Actual Production Book is timely delivered in respect of such Day (or if any such book is incomplete), MLC shall use the most recent delivered Daily Actual Production Book to determine a deemed amount of Hydrocarbon inventories (in each case, by type, grade and volume) located at On-Premise Infrastructure on such Day (a “MLC Deemed Daily Production”).  Any Hydrocarbon inventory differences (in each case, by type, grade and/or volume) between the MLC Deemed Daily Production utilized by MLC for such Day and the Daily Actual Production Book reflecting actual Hydrocarbon inventories for such Day shall be treated and accounted for as Volumetric Gains and Losses.

 

Section 3.06                             Financial Report.  At or before 8:00 p.m. ET of each Business Day during the Term commencing on the first Business Day following the Effective Date, MLC shall provide PESRM with a Financial Report for each Day of the Term prior to such Business Day for which no Financial Report has previously been provided to MLC, subject, in each case, to the Business Day Convention.

agreed, MLC shall have no obligation to enter into any CO Supply Contract that would provide for delivery of Crude Oil, to the Refinery or the other Basic Infrastructure, as applicable, more than sixty (60) days after the date of entry into such contract. MLC may, but is not required to, identify opportunities to acquire Crude Oil from one or more potential Counterparties or to supply Crude Oil from MLC’s own resources (in which case, MLC would be the potential Counterparty) and may notify PESRM of any such opportunities.  From time to time, subject to the requirements set forth in this Agreement, PESRM may be a Counterparty to one or more CO Supply Contracts for the purchase of certain Crude Oil, provided that, in connection with any such CO Supply Contract with PESRM as a Counterparty, MLC may, using its commercially reasonable discretion, require that the payment terms in such CO Supply Contract provide for payment on a shorter timeframe than that agreed between PESRM and the applicable third party Crude Oil supplier (any such arrangement, including PESRM’s arrangement with a third party Crude Oil supplier, a “CO Payable Monetization Transaction”); provided, further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 3.09(a) shall be construed so as to excuse PESRM from at all times during the Term complying with Sections 8.21, 10.17 and 11.14.

 

(b)                                 PESRM may negotiate directly with potential Counterparties in respect of any or all of the Principal CO Terms that, subject to MLC’s agreement, will be applicable to MLC’s purchases of Crude Oil.  From time to time, PESRM shall present MLC with a request by email, substantially in the form of Schedule 3.09(b) (each, a “PESRM Buy Request”), that MLC purchase Crude Oil from one or more potential Counterparties, and on such Principal CO Terms, as are identified in such request.  PESRM shall not be permitted to revoke any PESRM Buy Request unless PESRM notifies MLC of such revocation in writing and MLC confirms such revocation in writing, in each case, prior to the date and time at which MLC enters into any CO Supply Contract covered by such request. To the extent that email or other electronic means of communication is not available at any time to permit delivery of communications pursuant to this clause (b) by email, PESRM shall deliver all communications pursuant to this clause (b) to MLC through its Designated Sales Representative by telephone.

 

(c)                                  Upon receipt of any PESRM Buy Request, MLC shall make good faith efforts, subject to MLC’s Credit Requirements, to enter into a contract to purchase Crude Oil , from each potential Counterparty identified in such request (each, a “CO Supply Contract”).  All of the terms of each CO Supply Contract (including the Principal CO Terms) must be reasonably acceptable to MLC.  In the negotiation of CO Supply Contracts, MLC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the agreement of the proposed Counterparties to the use of such General Terms and Conditions and other terms as may be reasonably requested by PESRM and acceptable to MLC; provided, that (i) MLC may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any CO Supply Contract if doing so would require MLC to agree to General Terms and Conditions other than Approved Terms and Conditions, and MLC shall have no liability in the event that any Counterparties do not agree to such General Terms and Conditions or other terms and (ii) the failure of

Counterparties to agree to General Terms and Conditions or such other terms requested by PESRM shall have no impact on MLC’s rights or PESRM’s obligations under this Agreement, including PESRM’s indemnity obligations under this Agreement.  MLC shall indicate to PESRM in writing whether MLC intends to enter into a CO Supply Contract with respect to such PESRM Buy Request (i) with respect to any Counterparty with which MLC has previously entered into transactions pursuant to this Agreement, not later than two (2) Business Days after delivery to MLC of any PESRM Buy Request and (ii) with respect to any Counterparty with which MLC has not previously entered into transactions pursuant to this Agreement, not later than five (5) Business Days after delivery to MLC of any PESRM Buy Request, which response may specify that a longer period may be required by MLC to ensure satisfaction of any requirements set forth in this Agreement with respect to on-boarding of such Counterparty and any information which MLC requires and has not yet obtained  (or obtained access to) to complete such on-boarding. To the extent MLC elects not to enter into a CO Supply Contract with respect to such PESRM Buy Request for any reason (including, without limitation, if a Counterparty has not yet been on-boarded by MLC), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, PESRM shall be permitted to enter into the arrangement set forth in such PESRM Buy Request directly with the applicable Counterparties; provided that if any such Counterparty has previously commenced the on-boarding process with MLC and has not been on-boarded by MLC due to failure to satisfy or comply with MLC’s then current “Know Your Customer” procedures (applied equally across all similarly situated counterparties) (including any reasonable requests for information from such Counterparty in connection therewith), such Counterparty shall be acceptable to MLC in its sole discretion; provided, further, that (x) concurrently with entry into this arrangement, PESRM enters into a back-to-back CO Supply Contract with MLC on the same terms set forth in such PESRM Buy Request (a “PESRM/MLC CO Supply Contract”), (y) the terms of such PESRM/MLC CO Supply Contract (1) include payment terms that match the payment terms obtained by PESRM in the associated arrangement and (2) are reasonably acceptable to MLC and (z) for all purposes of this Agreement, such PESRM/MLC CO Supply Contract is deemed to constitute a “CO Supply Contract”.

 

MLC shall not be required to enter into any CO Supply Contract with any Counterparty or PESRM, as applicable, that (aa) does not satisfy MLC’s Credit Requirements, (bb) would impose any Liability under any Environmental Law on MLC that MLC, in its sole discretion, is not willing to accept, (cc) would require MLC to purchase any Crude Oil for delivery by rail, truck or Vessel (except as may be approved by MLC in its sole discretion) on any basis other than a delivered basis at the Refinery, except in connection with an associated PESRM-MLC CO Secured Prepay Transaction, (dd) would require the use of Required Infrastructure that is or could reasonably be expected to be unavailable, (ii) would require MLC to take any delivery of Crude Oil on any date following the end of the Term, (ff) at the time of entry into such transaction, would require MLC to

make a prepayment, provide cash collateral and/or or provide a letter of credit for which the issuing bank would require collateral from MLC (as determined by MLC in its sole discretion), before the delivery to MLC of the Crude Oil subject to such contract (unless PESRM agrees to pay, and does pay, MLC the Prepayment Amount for such CO Supply Contract prior to MLC’s entry into such contract), (gg) subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.19, which would require it to act as “first purchaser” of Crude Oil in a jurisdiction for which MLC (x) lacks any applicable Governmental Approval or (y) has not yet put in place such operational and/or compliance policies, procedures, systems and/or personnel related to such jurisdiction as are necessary or appropriate in connection with MLC’s compliance with the First Purchaser Requirements, or (hh) would require MLC to incur any First Purchaser Compliance Costs or (ii) uses a Vessel which has not been approved by each of MLC (acting in its sole discretion) and the terminal receiving such Vessel. MLC shall use good faith efforts to approve a Vessel within one (1) Business Day of receiving a request therefor from PESRM. In addition to any of the foregoing limitations, MLC shall not be required to enter into any CO Supply Contract if there is a breach or default under any PESIC-PESRM Secured Prepay Transactions or MLC-PESIC Secured Prepay Transactions or if MLC determines, in its reasonable discretion, that no MLC-PESIC Secured Prepay Transaction or PESIC-PESRM Secured Prepay Transaction can be booked in order to ensure that MLC can perform its obligations under such CO Supply Contract.

 

In the event one or more of the Principal CO Terms that MLC negotiates with a potential Counterparty to a CO Supply Contract are inconsistent with those of the related PESRM Buy Request, MLC shall ask PESRM to re-confirm the PESRM Buy Request in respect of such contract and will not enter into any such contract unless PESRM so re-confirms such PESRM Buy Request.  In the event that, after such reconfirmation (or in the event PESRM fails to provide such reconfirmation), the Principal CO Terms that MLC negotiates with the potential Counterparty to the CO Supply Contract remain inconsistent with the terms of the related PESRM Buy Request, MLC shall be under no obligation to enter into any such CO Supply Contract (it being understood that nothing in the foregoing shall be construed as preventing PESRM from submitting a new PESRM Buy Request in accordance with the terms hereof). Any such request, and the related re-confirmation, may be provided by email.

 

In the event that the terms of any trade confirmation proposed by a Counterparty in connection with any CO Supply Contract differ from the Principal CO Terms that are proposed in the related PESRM Buy Request, MLC shall attempt to resolve such differences with the applicable Counterparty.  In the event MLC is unable to resolve such differences, MLC will so notify PESRM.  PESRM shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days of MLC’s notification thereof) notify MLC whether PESRM objects to such different term. If PESRM does not respond within such period or if it accepts such term(s), MLC will accept such terms. In the event that PESRM rejects such term(s), MLC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate with the applicable Counterparty to

51



 

revise such term(s) in a matter that is mutually acceptable to PESRM and MLC; So long as the Principal CO Terms proposed by PESRM to MLC with respect to such transaction are the same terms as those proposed by MLC to such Counterparty, either initially or in subsequent negotiations, with respect to such transaction, PESRM shall be deemed to be bound by any terms and conditions of the resulting transaction, which terms shall constitute part of such CO Supply Contract.

 

In the event that the terms of any trade confirmation proposed by a Counterparty in connection with any CO Supply Contract, other than the Principal CO Terms, are different from the form of MLC trade confirmation attached hereto as Schedule 3.09(c), MLC shall notify PESRM of such differences. PESRM shall notify MLC whether it accepts or rejects each such different terms within two (2) Business Days of MLC’s notification thereof.  In the event that PESRM does not respond to MLC’s notification within the timeframe set forth in the foregoing sentence or accepts such terms, PESRM shall be deemed to have accepted all such terms of the applicable confirmation.  In the event PESRM objects to any such different term within the two (2) Business Day timeframe set forth above in this paragraph, MLC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate with the applicable Counterparty to revise such different terms in a matter that is mutually acceptable to PESRM and MLC. So long as the terms other than the Principal CO Terms proposed by PESRM to MLC with respect to such transaction are the same terms as those proposed by MLC to such Counterparty, either initially or in subsequent negotiations, with respect to such transaction, PESRM shall be deemed to be bound by any terms and conditions of the resulting transaction, which terms shall constitute part of such CO Supply Contract. Any such terms that are accepted or deemed accepted shall be binding, as between PESRM and MLC.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.09(c), in no event shall MLC be required to accept terms provided in any trade confirmation that would otherwise not meet the requirements for CO Supply Contracts to be entered into pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 If after MLC enters into any CO Supply Contract, the Counterparty to such contract at any time demands that MLC make a prepayment, provide cash collateral and/or a letter of credit for which the issuing bank would require collateral from MLC (as determined by MLC in its sole discretion), MLC shall notify PESRM of its receipt of any such demand and shall include the related Prepayment Amount in an Invoice, as applicable, no fewer than two (2) Business Days from the date on which MLC provides such notice, and such notice shall specify (i) the date (the “Counterparty Payment Date”) on or before which MLC will be required to provide such Counterparty with the demanded prepayment, cash collateral or letter of credit, as applicable, and (ii) the amount of the related Prepayment Amount.  If PESRM does not pay an amount equal to the related Prepayment Amount to MLC on or before the related Counterparty Payment Date as provided in the foregoing sentence, (1) PESRM shall be responsible for any and all funding costs (the “Section 3.09(d) Funding Costs”) that MLC incurs in providing the relevant Counterparty with the demanded prepayment, cash

collateral or letter of credit, as applicable, for the period from (and including) the date on which MLC first incurs such funding costs to (but excluding) the date that otherwise would be the regular payment date under the relevant CO Supply Contract, (2) MLC shall have the right, in its discretion, to elect to not provide the relevant Counterparty with the demanded prepayment, cash collateral or letter of credit, as applicable and (3) if MLC elects to not provide the demanded prepayment, cash collateral or letter of credit, as applicable, MLC shall promptly notify PESRM.  If PESRM fails to pay the full amount due from it under the Invoice that includes any related Prepayment Amount on or before the date such payment is due, such failure shall constitute, and be referred to herein as, a “PESRM Prepayment Amount Failure”.  If any such PESRM Prepayment Amount Failure is not remedied within two (2) Business Days after notice of such failure is given to PESRM, MLC shall have the right, in its sole discretion, by written notice to PESRM, immediately (x) to terminate its obligation to enter into new CO Supply Contracts effective on the thirtieth (30th) day following the related Counterparty Payment Date, and/or (y) to terminate this Agreement in the manner provided for in Section 6.02 as if the Term Expiration Date (as such term is used in Section 6.02) had occurred on the thirtieth (30th) day following the related Counterparty Payment Date.

 

(e)                                  MLC shall be the sole owner of, and have the sole dominion and control over, all CO Supply Contracts, including having the exclusive right to amend, restate, supplement, novate, assign, sell, terminate, cancel or otherwise dispose of any such CO Supply Contract in its discretion; provided, that no such action shall affect MLC’s obligations under this Agreement.

 

(f)                                   All statements and representations made by PESRM’s advisors, agents, attorneys, consultants, contractors, directors, employees, officers, managers and representatives in connection with proposed and actual CO Supply Contracts shall be made on behalf of PESRM in its own capacity, and PESRM is not authorized to act as agent for or to bind MLC in connection with the negotiation or execution of any CO Supply Contracts or , nor to make any representations to any Counterparty on behalf of MLC.  Unless expressly authorized by MLC in writing, any advice, recommendations, warranties or representations made to any Counterparty by PESRM shall be the sole and exclusive responsibility of PESRM, and MLC shall not be liable for any errors, omissions or misinformation that PESRM or its advisors, agents, attorneys, consultants, contractors, directors, employees, officers, managers or representatives provide to any counterparty, unless such error, omission or misinformation is included in such express MLC authorization.

 

(g)                                  Any excused or unexcused failure by a Counterparty under a CO Supply Contract  (other than MLC or any of its Affiliates) to fully and timely perform or otherwise satisfy any of its obligations under such contract (each, a “CO Supply Contract Event”) shall excuse any corresponding failure by MLC to fully and timely perform or otherwise satisfy its obligations under the CO Transaction or any PESRM-MLC Secured Prepay Transaction, unless any such CO Supply Contract

Section 3.10                             CO Transactions. During the Term, MLC shall sell to PESRM and PESRM shall purchase and take delivery from MLC all of the MLC Crude Oil Purchase at the CO Delivery Point, measured for each Day during the Term as the amount of Crude Oil of which PESRM takes delivery on such Day according to the Daily Actual Production Book (each such Day’s purchase, a “CO Transaction”), and which shall be priced by reference to Schedule 5(a).

 

Section 3.11                             Daily Trades Done To Date Report.  At or before 4:00 p.m. ET on each Business Day during the Term commencing on the first Business Day following the Effective Date, MLC shall provide PESRM with a Daily Trades Done To Date Report for each Day of the Term prior to such Business Day for which no Daily Trades Done To Date Report has previously been provided to PESRM.  Unless otherwise agreed in writing by MLC and PESRM, as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 4:00 p.m. ET on the first (1st) Business Day following PESRM’s receipt of any Daily Trades Done To Date Report, PESRM shall advise MLC of PESRM’s objection to any differences between such Daily Trades Done To Date Report and the immediately preceding Daily Trades Done To Date Report received by PESRM (provided, that any such objection must be based on the grounds that the terms set forth in the relevant Daily Trades Done To Date Report are inconsistent with those of the related PESRM Buy Request, PESRM Sales Request or Cover Request, as applicable, and must be stated in writing and in reasonable detail), failing which PESRM shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed that such Daily Trades Done To Date Report accurately sets forth the principal economic terms of all CO Supply Contracts, CO Transactions, RP Transactions, RP Sales Contracts, Cover Transactions and MLC-PESIC Secured Prepay Transactions as of the Day(s) covered by such Daily Trades Done To Date Report.  MLC and PESRM agree that each Daily Trades Done To Date Report shall constitute the written confirmation of each CO Transaction, RP Transaction and Cover Transaction entered into (or deemed to be entered into) by MLC and PESRM on the Day(s) covered by such Daily Trades Done To Date Report.

Section 3.14                             CRUDE OIL NO WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY.  WITH RESPECT TO CO SUPPLY CONTRACTS AND PESRM-MLC CO SECURED PREPAY TRANSACTIONS, PESRM AGREES THAT (A) IT SHALL TAKE DELIVERY OF SUCH CRUDE OIL “AS IS, WHERE IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS”, AND (B) MLC MAKES NO WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE DISCLAIMED.

(a)                                 MLC shall be responsible for paying invoices with respect to CO Supply Contracts, Prepay Transactions relating to Crude Oil and all related CO Transportation and Other Costs (it being understood and agreed that PESRM shall be directly responsible for any and all costs, including, costs relating to demurrage, incurred in connection with the transportation, delivery and receipt of Hydrocarbons pursuant to any PESRM-MLC Secured Prepay Transaction), which CO Transportation and Other Costs shall be included in the payments due under this Agreement, as provided for in Article V. Upon request, MLC shall promptly provide PESRM with copies of Counterparty and third party invoices, which may be redacted as deemed necessary by MLC in accordance with its policies and procedures; provided that, in no event shall MLC be required to provided PESRM with copies of greater than twenty-five (25) Counterparty or third party invoices in any calendar quarter.

MLC RP Secured Prepay Transactions, in each case, in accordance with the protocols set forth below (the “Sales Protocols”).

 

(a)                                 Commencing with the delivery of the first Oil Flow Report and continuing until RP Sales Contracts concerning all of the Refined Products set forth in such report or any subsequent Oil Flow Report are entered into, PESRM shall identify opportunities to sell Refined Products to purchasers (each, a “Product Purchaser”) of the types and grades, and in the volumes, reflected in the then current Oil Flow Report and shall promptly notify MLC of such opportunities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise mutually agreed by PESRM and MLC, MLC shall have no obligation to enter into any RP Sales Contract or PESRM-MLC RP Secured Prepay Transaction that would provide for delivery of Refined Products, at the Product Purchaser Delivery Point more than sixty (60) days after the date of entry into such contract.  MLC may, but is not required to, identify opportunities to sell Refined Products to one or more potential Product Purchasers or to purchase Refined Products for MLC’s own account (in which case, MLC would be the potential Product Purchaser) and may notify PESRM of any such opportunities.

 

(b)                                 PESRM may negotiate directly with potential Product Purchasers in respect of any or all of the Principal RP Terms that, subject to MLC’s agreement, will be applicable to MLC’s sales of Refined Products to Product Purchasers.  From time to time, PESRM shall present MLC with a request by email, substantially in the form of Schedule 3.09(b) (each, a “PESRM Sales Request”) that MLC sell Refined Products to one or more potential Product Purchasers, and on such Principal RP Terms, as are identified in such request.  PESRM shall not be permitted to revoke any PESRM Sales Request unless PESRM notifies MLC of such revocation in writing and MLC confirms such revocation in writing, in each case, prior to the date and time at which MLC enters into any RP Sales Contract covered by such request. To the extent that email or other electronic means of communication is not available at any time to permit delivery of communications pursuant to this clause (b) by email, PESRM shall deliver all communications pursuant to this clause (b) to MLC through its Designated Sales Representative by telephone.

 

(c)                                  Upon receipt of any PESRM Sales Request, MLC shall make good faith efforts, subject to MLC’s Credit Requirements, to enter into a contract to sell Refined Products, to each potential Product Purchaser identified in such request (each such contract, a “RP Sales Contract”).  All of the terms of each RP Sales Contract (including the Principal RP Terms) must be reasonably acceptable to MLC.  In the negotiation of RP Sales Contracts, MLC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the agreement of the proposed Product Purchasers to the use of such General Terms and Conditions and other terms as may be reasonably requested by PESRM and acceptable to MLC; provided, that (i) MLC shall have no liability in the event that any Product Purchasers do not agree to such General Terms and Conditions or other terms and (ii) the failure of Product Purchasers to agree to General Terms and Conditions or such other terms requested by PESRM

shall have no impact on MLC’s rights or PESRM’s obligations under this Agreement, including PESRM’s indemnity obligations under this Agreement.  MLC shall indicate to PESRM in writing whether MLC intends to enter into a RP Sales Contract with respect to such PESRM Sales Request (i) with respect to any Product Purchaser with which MLC has previously entered into transactions pursuant to this Agreement, not later than two (2) Business Days after delivery to MLC of any PESRM Sales Request and (ii) with respect to any Product Purchaser with which MLC has not previously entered into transactions pursuant to this Agreement, not later than five (5) Business Days after delivery to MLC of any PESRM Sales Request, which response may specify that a longer period may be required by MLC to ensure satisfaction of any requirements set forth in this Agreement with respect to on-boarding of such Product Purchaser and any information which MLC requires and has not yet obtained  (or obtained access to) to complete such on-boarding. To the extent MLC elects not to enter into a RP Sales Contract with respect to such PESRM Sales Request for any reason (including, without limitation, if a Product Purchaser has not yet been on-boarded by MLC), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, PESRM shall be permitted to enter into the arrangement set forth in such PESRM Sales Request directly with the applicable Product Purchasers; provided that if any such Product Purchaser has previously commenced the on-boarding process with MLC and has not been on-boarded by MLC due to failure to satisfy or comply with MLC’s then current “Know Your Customer” procedures (applied equally across all similarly situated counterparties) (including any reasonable requests for information from such Product Purchaser in connection therewith), such Product Purchaser shall be acceptable to MLC in its sole discretion; provided, further, that (x) concurrently with entry into this arrangement, PESRM enters into a back-to-back RP Sales Contract with MLC on the same terms set forth in such PESRM Sales Request (“PESRM/MLC RP Sales Contract”), (y) the terms of such PESRM/MLC RP Sales Contract  include a payment term requiring PESRM to prepay the RP Sales Contract Prepayment Amount in full prior to any delivery of such Refined Products and (z) for all purposes of this Agreement, such PESRM/MLC RP Sales Contract is deemed to constitute a “RP Sales Contract”.

 

MLC shall not be required to enter into any RP Sales Contract or PESRM-MLC RP Secured Prepay Transaction with any Product Purchaser or PESRM, as applicable, that (aa) does not satisfy MLC’s Credit Requirements, (bb) will not be priced at or around the time of delivery of the applicable Refined Products to the Product Purchaser, PESRM or MLC, as applicable, by reference to an Applicable Refined Product Index, (cc) would require MLC to deliver any Refined Product at any location other than the Product Purchaser Delivery Point, except in connection with any associated PESRM-MLC RP Secured Prepay Transaction, (dd) that would impose any Liability under any Environmental Law on MLC that MLC, in its sole discretion, is not willing to accept, (ee) would require MLC to make rack sales of Refined Products (A) at the Belmont Truck Rack to any Person other than (1) Sunoco PMT or (2) PESRM or a mutually agreed Product Purchaser and (B) at any Rack other than the Belmont Truck Rack, to any Person other than PESRM or another mutually agreed Product Purchaser, (ff) would

require the use of Required Infrastructure that is or could reasonably be expected to be unavailable, (gg) would require MLC to allocate shortfalls of Refined Products among Product Purchasers on any basis other than in the manner that MLC may see as fit in respect of any such shortfall (provided, that any Product Purchaser’s agreement to allow MLC to allocate shortfalls in any manner that MLC may see as fit shall have no impact on MLC’s rights and PESRM’s obligations under this Agreement, including PESRM’s indemnity obligations under this Agreement), (hh) uses a vessel which has not been approved by both MLC (acting in its sole discretion) and the terminal receiving such vessel, or (ii) would require MLC to make any delivery of Refined Products on any date following the end of the Term.  MLC shall use good faith efforts to approve a vessel within one (1) Business Day of receiving a request therefor from PESRM. Rack sales by MLC to PESRM (if any) shall be made pursuant to a separate contract to be mutually agreed that shall not be subject to these Sales Protocols (the “Rack Sales Contract”); provided, that any such contract shall constitute a RP Sales Contract for purposes of this Agreement.  In addition to the foregoing limitations, MLC shall not be required to enter into any RP Sales Contract if there is a breach or default under any PESIC-PESRM Secured Prepay Transactions or MLC-PESIC Secured Prepay Transactions or if MLC determines, in its reasonable discretion, that no MLC-PESIC Secured Prepay Transaction or PESIC-PESRM Secured Prepay Transaction can be booked in order to ensure that MLC can perform its obligations under such RP Sales Contract.

 

In the event one or more of the Principal RP Terms that MLC negotiates with any potential Product Purchaser to a RP Sales Contract are inconsistent with those of the related PESRM Sales Request, MLC shall ask PESRM to re-confirm the PESRM Sales Request in respect of such RP Sales Contract and will not enter into any such RP Sales Contract unless PESRM so re-confirms such PESRM Sales Request.  In the event that, after such reconfirmation (or in the event PESRM fails to provide such reconfirmation), the Principal RP Terms that MLC negotiates with the potential Counterparty to the RP Sales Contract remain inconsistent with the terms of the related PESRM Sales Request, MLC shall be under no obligation to enter into any such RP Sales Contract (it being understood that nothing in the foregoing shall be construed as preventing PESRM from submitting a new PESRM Sales Request).  Any such request, and the related re-confirmation, may be provided by email.

 

In the event that the terms of any trade confirmation proposed by a Product Purchaser in connection with any RP Sales Contract differ from the Principal RP Terms that are proposed in the related PESRM Sales Request, MLC shall attempt to resolve such differences with the applicable Counterparty. In the event MLC is unable to resolve such differences, MLC will so notify PESRM. PESRM shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days of MLC’s notification thereof) notify MLC whether PESRM objects to such different term. If PESRM does not respond within such period or if it accepts such term(s), MLC will accept such terms. In the event that PESRM rejects such term(s), MLC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate with the applicable Counterparty to

61



 

revise such term(s) in a matter that is mutually acceptable to PESRM and MLC. So long as the Principal RP Terms proposed by PESRM to MLC with respect to such transaction are the same terms as those proposed by MLC to such Product Purchaser, either initially or in subsequent negotiations, with respect to such transaction, PESRM shall be deemed to be bound by any terms and conditions of the resulting transaction, which terms shall constitute part of such RP Sales Contract.

 

In the event that the terms of any trade confirmation proposed by a Counterparty in connection with any RP Sales Contract, other than the Principal RP Terms are different from the form of MLC trade confirmation attached hereto as Schedule 4.09(c), MLC shall notify PESRM of such differences.  PESRM shall notify MLC whether it accepts or rejects each such different terms within two (2) Business Days of MLC’s notification thereof.  In the event that PESRM does not respond to MLC’s notification within the timeframe set forth in the foregoing sentence or accepts such terms, PESRM shall be deemed to have accepted all such terms of the applicable confirmation.  In the event that PESRM objects to any such different term within the two (2) Business Day timeframe set forth above in this paragraph, MLC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate with the applicable Counterparty to revise such different terms in a matter that is mutually acceptable to PESRM and MLC.  So long as the terms other than the Principal RP Terms proposed by PESRM to MLC with respect to such transaction are the same terms as those proposed by MLC to such Product Purchaser, either initially or in subsequent negotiations, with respect to such transaction, PESRM shall be deemed to be bound by any terms and conditions of the resulting transaction, which terms shall constitute part of such RP Sales Contract.  Any such terms that are accepted or deemed accepted shall be binding, as between PESRM and MLC.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.09(c), in no event shall MLC be required to accept terms provided in any trade confirmation that would otherwise not meet the requirements for RP Sales Contracts to be entered into pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 MLC shall be the sole owner of, and have the sole dominion and control over, all RP Sales Contracts, including having the exclusive right to amend, restate, supplement, novate, assign, sell, terminate, cancel or otherwise dispose of any such RP Sales Contract in its discretion; provided, that no such action shall affect MLC’s obligations under this Agreement.

 

(e)                                  All statements and representations made by PESRM’s advisors, agents, attorneys, consultants, contractors, directors, employees, officers, managers and representatives in connection with proposed and actual RP Sales Contracts and PESRM-MLC RP Secured Prepay Transactions shall be made on behalf of PESRM in its own capacity, and PESRM is not authorized to act as agent for or to bind MLC in connection with the negotiation or execution of any RP Sales Contracts or PESRM-MLC RP Secured Prepay Transactions, nor to make any representations to any counterparty on behalf of MLC.  Unless expressly authorized by MLC in writing, any advice, recommendations, warranties or

representations made to any counterparty by PESRM shall be the sole and exclusive responsibility of PESRM, and MLC shall not be liable for any errors, omissions or misinformation that PESRM or its advisors, agents, attorneys, consultants, contractors, directors, employees, officers, managers or representatives provide to any counterparty, unless such error, omission or misinformation is included in such express MLC authorization.

 

(f)                                   In respect of each and every outstanding RP Sales Contract and PESRM-MLC RP Secured Prepay Transaction, PESRM must timely provide to MLC, directly through one or more RP Transactions and/or indirectly through timely authorizations to enter into one or more RP Cover Transactions, with Refined Products (each having such qualities and being in such volumes) that collectively are sufficient to enable MLC to fully and timely satisfy all of MLC’s obligations under such RP Sales Contract.

 

Section 4.10                             Prepayments.

 

(a)                                 With respect to all Rack Sales Contracts that are outstanding on any Day of any quarter of the Term, PESRM shall prepay to MLC the Rack Sale Prepayment Amount applicable for such Day, in accordance with Article V.

 

(b)                                 Starting from the first quarter following December 31, 2014, the Estimated Daily Rack Sale Amount may be increased or decreased, based on the Average Rack Sale Daily Amount for the prior quarter, which will be calculated by MLC on a Business Day that is the tenth (10th) Business Day prior to the beginning of any calendar quarter, as follows: if the Average Rack Sale Daily Amount for any prior quarter is greater than or lower than the Estimated Daily Rack Sale Amount payable in the prior quarter by an amount equal to at least $[**], the Estimated Daily Rack Sale Amount applicable to the following quarter shall be increased or decreased, as applicable, by such amount.  The Estimated Daily Rack Sale Amount shall be further proportionately increased or decreased, as determined by MLC, using its commercially reasonable discretion, to take into account (i) any addition to or removal of any Racks from any Required Infrastructure and (ii) any material expansions or contractions of working capacity at any Racks, such increase or decrease, as applicable, to take effect on the Day on which a new Rack becomes part of the Required Infrastructure, a then existing Rack is removed from the Required Infrastructure or such material expansion or contraction of the working capacity of any Rack occurs, provided that such modifications are made on the basis of information relating to increases or decreases to throughput provided by PESRM to MLC in a timely manner, and only to the extent any such increases or decreases constitute an increase or decrease in the aggregate of at least $[**].

 

(c)                                  Each Rack Sale Prepayment Amount will be trued up with the actual amount of MLC Refined Product sales to PERSM at Racks in accordance with the invoicing provisions set forth in Article V.

Section 4.11                             RP Payment Responsibility and Invoicing.

 

(a)                                 MLC shall be responsible for paying invoices with respect to Prepay Transactions relating to Refined Products and all RP Transportation and Other Costs (it being understood and agreed that PESRM shall be directly responsible for any and all costs, including, without limitation, costs relating to demurrage, incurred in connection with the transportation, delivery and receipt of Hydrocarbons pursuant to any PESRM-MLC Secured Prepay Transaction), which RP Transportation and Other Costs shall be included in the payments due under this Agreement, as provided for in Article V.  All refunds or adjustments of any type received by MLC related to the RP Transportation and Other Costs shall be for the account of PESRM and shall be reflected in an Invoice or the Monthly True-Up Invoice, as applicable.

 

(b)                                 RP Transportation and Other Costs may not be invoiced by MLC to PESRM until MLC itself is invoiced, which for this purpose shall include a pro forma invoice, for such costs.

(a)                                 Butane Sale Transactions.  On each Butane Inventory Draw Day, MLC shall be deemed to have sold to PESRM and PESRM shall be deemed to have purchased from MLC a volume of butane equal to the Butane Inventory Draw on such Day (each such transaction, a “Butane Sale Transaction”), in each case, of the type and grade set forth in the Daily Actual Production Book and/or the SXL Report, as applicable, with the pricing for each Butane Sale Transaction to be determined by reference to Schedule 5(b).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all of MLC’s obligations with respect to Butane Sale Transactions are subject to no related Applicable Condition having occurred.

 

(b)                                 Butane Sale Transaction True-Ups.  In connection with the Butane Sale Transactions, in the event that either Party obtains knowledge of a discrepancy between the Butane Inventory reflected in the Daily Actual Production Book and the SXL Report and the actual volumes of butane (measured in Barrels) produced or acquired and used or sold by PESRM on any Day, such party shall promptly notify the other Party of such discrepancy, and the Parties shall work in good faith to confirm whether or not such discrepancy exists and, if so, the extent of such discrepancy.  Upon agreement between the Parties as to the existence and extent of any discrepancy, PESRM shall make an adjustment in the Daily Actual Production Book on the next Business Day to eliminate any such discrepancy. For the avoidance of doubt, any resulting increase or decrease in the Butane Inventory shall be taken into account in determining whether there is a Butane Inventory Build or a Butane Inventory Draw on the Day on which any such adjustment occurs.

(d)                                 Costs and Invoicing.  Any and all direct expenses incurred by MLC (and not previously paid by PESRM) that, if such Butane Sale Transaction were a sale of butane by MLC to a third party pursuant to an RP Sales Contract would be RP Transportation and Other Costs, shall be deemed to be RP Transportation and Other Costs for all purposes of this Agreement and the other PESRM Transaction Documents, which RP Transportation and Other Costs shall be included in the payments due under this Agreement, as provided for in Article V.

(a)                                 Unexcused MLC Failure to Deliver under any PESRM Transaction.  MLC, as the seller under any PESRM Transaction, shall pay to PESRM under such PESRM Transaction, as part of the Monthly True-Up for the month in which the failure occurs, an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount of the Hydrocarbons that MLC failed to deliver (if any) and (ii) an amount equal to (x) the market offer price for the applicable Hydrocarbon at the applicable delivery point at the time the failure occurred minus (y) the price for such Hydrocarbon under this Agreement (except that if the difference between the amounts in subclauses (x) and (y) is zero or negative, then MLC shall have no obligation to make any payment to PESRM), all as determined by MLC, acting in a commercially reasonable manner.

 

(b)                                 Unexcused MLC Failure to Accept Delivery under any PESRM Transaction.  MLC, as the buyer under any PESRM Transaction, shall pay to PESRM as part of the Monthly True-Up for the month in which the failure occurred, an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount of the Hydrocarbon that MLC failed to accept (if any) and (ii) an amount equal to (x) the price for such Hydrocarbon under this Agreement minus (y) the market bid price for the applicable Hydrocarbon at the applicable delivery point at the time the failure occurred (except that if the difference between the amounts in subclauses (x) and (y) is zero or negative, then MLC shall have no obligation to make any payment to PESRM), all as determined by MLC, acting in a commercially reasonable manner.

positive True-Up Refined Product Price Amount (if any), as applicable, that would have been payable to PESRM under such RP Sales Contract if the relevant Hydrocarbons had been delivered to the purchaser on the scheduled delivery date under such RP Sales Contract; provided, that such amounts shall not be payable with respect to a failure to deliver by MLC that results from a failure by MLC to perform under a corresponding Cover Transaction that is subject to Section 6.03(d).

 

(d)                                 Unexcused MLC Failure to Deliver or Receive under any Cover Transaction.  MLC, as the purchaser or seller, as applicable, under any Cover Transaction, shall pay to PESRM, as part of the Monthly True-Up for the month in which such failure occurred, an amount equal to the Cover Transaction Price Amount, if any, that would have been payable to PESRM if MLC had delivered or received such Hydrocarbons on the scheduled delivery date under such Cover Transaction.

 

Section 6.04                             Semi-Annual Inspections.

 

(a)                                 On a semi-annual basis during the Term, MLC shall have the right, for the purpose of protecting MLC Separate Assets and Collateral against potential loss and at its own cost and expense, to have an independent inspector conduct surveys and inspections of any of the Tanks, and to observe any Hydrocarbon transfer, handling or related activities; provided, that such surveys and inspections shall be made during normal working hours and upon reasonable notice and shall not disrupt the normal operations of the Refinery or the other Basic Infrastructure, as applicable, and comply with the rules and procedures of the Refinery or the other Basic Infrastructure, as applicable.  In the event that such independent inspector, applying commercially reasonable industry standards, identifies any material adverse condition (a “Material Adverse Condition”), MLC shall notify PESRM (and, with respect to infrastructure not consisting of PESRM Infrastructure, the third party provider of such infrastructure) of the independent inspector’s findings, and MLC shall have the right in its sole discretion, by written notice to PESRM, to request PESRM not to store any additional MLC Separate Assets and Collateral in any Tanks or related infrastructure affected by such Material Adverse Conditions, and such affected Tanks and related infrastructure shall, on and after PESRM’s receipt of such notice and until the time such Material Adverse Condition is corrected, be deemed to be unavailable for purposes of Section 6.06.  PESRM shall have a commercially reasonable period of time to correct (or, with respect to infrastructure not consisting of PESRM Infrastructure, the third party provider of such infrastructure shall have a commercially reasonable period of time to correct), at its own cost and expense, such Material Adverse Condition; provided, that if such condition is of such a nature as can be reasonably remedied by relocating MLC Separate Assets and Collateral, as applicable, to other, non-affected Basic Infrastructure without materially diminishing any of the rights and services to which MLC is entitled under this Agreement and the other PESRM Transaction Documents, then PESRM will be deemed to have satisfied such correction obligation by accomplishing such relocation within such time period.

Section 6.05                             Required Infrastructure.

 

(a)                                 MLC’s obligations under this Agreement, the other PESRM Transaction Documents, the MLC-PESIC Secured Prepay Transactions, the CO Supply Contracts, the PESRM-MLC Secured Prepay Transactions, RP Sales Contracts and/or Cover Transactions to supply Crude Oil to PESRM, to sell Crude Oil to purchasers, to purchase Refined Products from PESRM, to sell Refined Products to purchasers identified by PESRM and to purchase Refined Products from suppliers identified by PESRM are, in all respects, subject to any limits imposed by the working capacity available to MLC at any time on any vessels, barges, docks, racks, railcars, railroads, railroad loading and unloading facilities, terminals, pipelines, storage tanks and other facilities and equipment that are necessary to the performance by PESRM or MLC of its obligations under the PESRM Transactions, the MLC-PESIC Secured Prepay Transactions, the CO Supply Contracts, the PESRM-MLC Secured Prepay Transactions, the RP Sales Contracts and/or the Cover Transactions, including any such facilities at the Refinery, the other Basic Infrastructure and the Butane Rail Facility (collectively, as of any date of determination, the “Required Infrastructure”), and any failure of performance by MLC under any such contracts or transactions that results, directly or indirectly, from any limits imposed by the working capacity allocated to MLC on Required Infrastructure shall be excused and shall not give rise to a MLC Event of Default.

 

(b)                                 In the event that working capacity allocated to MLC on Required Infrastructure becomes unavailable for any reason (including any provision of this Section 6.05 or Section 6.04), PESRM shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to secure replacement capacity at PESRM’s sole cost and expense as necessary to permit MLC to meet its delivery, receipt and resale obligations under the PESRM Transactions, the MLC-PESIC Secured Prepay Transactions, the CO Supply Contracts, the PESRM-MLC Secured Prepay Transactions, the RP Sales Contracts and/or the Cover Transactions, as applicable.

 

Section 6.06                             PESRM-MLC Secured Prepay Transactions.                                     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.06, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that each PESRM-MLC Secured Prepay Transaction (x) constitutes an extension of credit and a “financial accommodation” to or for the benefit of PESRM within the meaning of Sections 365(c)(2) and 365(e)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code and, accordingly, (y) entry into each such PESRM-MLC Secured Prepay Transaction must be reviewed and approved in accordance with MLC’s then current Credit Requirements, as consistently applied; provided, however, that to the extent MLC determines that, for purposes of this Section 6.06, PESRM does not meet MLC’s then current Credit Requirements as consistently applied, MLC must provide written notice of such determination to PESRM, within sixty (60) days following such determination (it being understood that MLC’s failure to approve a PESRM-MLC Secured Prepay Transaction with PESRM will not preclude MLC from entering into a similarly structured transaction with a third-party in connection with the CO Supply Contract (or the RP Sales Contract, as applicable) for which such PESRM-MLC Secured Prepay Transaction was contemplated). Where the terms of any CO Supply Contract (or any RP Sales Contract, as applicable) would require the

Section 6.07                             Accounting Treatment. Each Transaction Party represents and warrants that it has taken all necessary steps including review of the PESRM Transaction Documents with a senior representative of its finance group and its external auditor, as necessary, to ensure the appropriate financial and accounting treatment, regulatory and disclosure standards are complied with in connection with the PESRM Transaction Documents for each Transaction Party and its Affiliates.

 

Section 6.08                             [Reserved].

 

Section 6.09                             Change in Law.  Each Party shall make reasonable efforts to monitor any proposed Change in Law which may reasonably be expected to have an impact on such Party’s performance of its obligations under the PESRM Transaction Documents or its ability to hedge its trading positions in a commercially reasonable manner, including those relating to purchases and sales under, and inventories maintained in connection with, this Agreement or its other business (“Hedging Activities”) and shall promptly notify the other Party upon becoming aware of any such proposed Change in Law.  Such notice shall identify the proposed Change in Law and set out, in reasonable detail, the effects the notifying Party anticipates such Change in Law would have upon the PESRM Transaction Documents (or such Party’s performance thereunder) or its Hedging Activities if enacted.  The Parties shall in good faith meet to discuss what measures (if any) can be taken by either Party (or both) to minimize and/or mitigate the effect of any such proposed Change in Law.  If a Change in Law results or would result in a Party (the “Adversely Affected Party”) (a) violating any Applicable Law in connection with its Hedging Activities, or (b) incurring incremental damages, losses, costs, expenses, fees, fines, payments, Indemnifiable Taxes, liabilities, penalties or other sanctions of a monetary nature in excess of $[**] per annum solely as a result of such Party’s performance of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or as a result of its Hedging Activities, in each case the Adversely Affected Party shall be entitled to request that the Parties meet for purposes of addressing such Change in Law by providing written notice (a “Change in Law Notice”) to the other Party (the “Non-Affected Party”).  Within seven (7) days of receipt of a Change in Law Notice, the Parties shall meet in good faith with a view to identifying any steps (the “Consequential Steps”) that would alleviate the effects of the relevant Change in Law on the Adversely Affected Party, which may include an agreement between the Parties to share the relevant incremental losses incurred by the Adversely Affected Party or the amendment of any PESRM Transaction Document.  In identifying the Consequential Steps, the Parties shall, as far as is reasonably practicable, do so in a manner that preserves the balance of the commercial agreement (including economic benefits, risk allocation, costs and liabilities) existing between the Parties under this Agreement as of the Effective Date.  In the event the Parties cannot reach agreement on the Consequential Steps and on the implementation of the same within thirty (30) days of receipt by the Non-Affected Party of the Change in Law Notice, either Party may terminate this Agreement in the manner provided for in Section 6.02 as if the Term Expiration Date had occurred by giving

(ii)                                  To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, PESRM shall be required to pay when due such Indemnifiable Taxes described in Section 7.01(d)(i) unless there is an applicable exemption from such Indemnifiable Tax, with written confirmation of such tax exemption to be contemporaneously provided to MLC.  To the extent that MLC is the Person required by law to collect and account to the applicable tax authority for any such Indemnifiable Taxes, MLC will pay such Indemnifiable Taxes, and any applicable penalties or interest owing or assessed in relation thereto, to the applicable taxing authority, and one-hundred percent (100%) of such Indemnifiable Taxes (and such penalties and interest, to the extent the obligation to make payment of such penalties and interest was not the result of a negligent failure by MLC to timely remit the appropriate amount of taxes to the applicable tax authority) together with an amount equal to any taxes payable by MLC in respect of amounts paid or payable to MLC under this Section 7.01(d)(ii), shall be added to invoices as separately stated charges and paid in full by PESRM in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, unless PESRM is exempt from such Indemnifiable Taxes and timely furnishes MLC with a certificate of exemption, and, to the extent (i) such invoices are satisfied in full by PESRM or (ii) other amounts due under the PESRM Transaction Documents are adjusted such that PESRM has borne the economic burden of the Indemnifiable Taxes, MLC shall assume any and all responsibility for any interest and penalty assessments made by a tax authority against either Party to the extent such interest and penalties are assessed due to a failure by MLC to promptly remit the applicable Indemnifiable Taxes to the relevant tax authority following PESRM’s satisfaction of such invoices or such adjustment of payments under the PESRM Transaction Documents.

 

(iii)                               Each Party will reasonably cooperate with the other to minimize liability for any Indemnifiable Taxes to the extent legally permissible.  Each Party will provide and make available to the other upon request any direct pay permits, resale certificates, multiple points of use certificates, treaty certification, information regarding out-of state (or out-of-country) sales or use of equipment, materials, or services, and other exemption certificates or information reasonably requested by the other Party.  To the extent PESRM is exempt from any Indemnifiable Taxes, it will provide MLC with a copy of the applicable tax exemption (or direct pay or resale certificate, as applicable), and, to the extent such exemption or certifications are reasonably acceptable to MLC, MLC will not bill or charge PESRM for such Indemnifiable Taxes.  MLC will, upon written request of PESRM and at the sole cost and expense of PESRM, cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist PESRM’s (i) lawful claims for any exemptions from any sales or services taxes, and (ii) lawful attempts to recoup or recover any VAT, similar taxes or other recoverable taxes.  At the sole cost and expense of PESRM, MLC will register as promptly as possible for all benefits for which it is eligible under the

(iv)                              If PESRM disputes MLC’s determination that any Indemnifiable Tax not the subject of a Proceeding is due with respect to transactions under the PESRM Transaction Documents, or any documents related to the MLC-PESIC Secured Prepay Transactions, the PESIC-PESRM Secured Prepay Transactions, PESRM shall have the right to seek an administrative determination from the applicable taxing authority that no such Indemnifiable Tax is due, subject to its agreeing to indemnify MLC for the entire amount of such disputed Indemnifiable Tax (including any associated interest and/or late penalties), and any tax payable by MLC in respect of any amounts paid or payable to MLC under this Section 7.01(d)(iv), should such Indemnifiable Tax be determined applicable.  MLC shall agree to reasonably cooperate with PESRM, at PESRM’s cost and expense, in the event PESRM determines to seek such an administrative determination in respect of the disputed Indemnifiable Taxes.

 

(v)                                 PESRM and MLC shall be required to promptly inform each other in writing of any assertion by a taxing authority of additional Liability for Indemnifiable Taxes relating to the PESRM Transactions, the CO Supply Contracts, the MLC-PESIC Secured Prepay Transactions, the PESRM-MLC Secured Prepay Transactions, the RP Sales Contracts, the Cover Transactions or PESIC-PESRM Secured Prepay Transactions.  Any such Proceeding against MLC with respect to such asserted Liability (including any settlement thereof) shall be under MLC’s direction, but PESRM shall be consulted and, if the Proceeding solely relates to Indemnifiable Taxes relating to the PESRM Transactions, the CO Supply Contracts, the PESRM-MLC Secured Prepay Transactions, the RP Sales Contracts, the Cover Transactions, the MLC-PESIC Secured Prepay Transactions or the PESIC-PESRM Secured Prepay Transactions, as applicable, and no other matters, then MLC shall not settle or otherwise compromise the relevant claim without PESRM’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).  Any Proceeding against PESRM with respect to such asserted Liability (including any settlement thereof) shall be under PESRM’s direction, but MLC shall be consulted.  In any event, PESRM and MLC shall fully cooperate with each other as to the asserted Liability.  PESRM shall bear all of the reasonable costs of any such Proceeding undertaken by either Party.  If MLC, acting in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner, concludes that any rebates or refunds it receives from any tax authority are in respect of Indemnifiable Taxes that were paid or borne by PESRM, it will pay such rebate or refunds to PESRM or otherwise adjust the payments under this Agreement such that PESRM shall have the economic benefit of such rebates or refunds.

(vi)                              This Section 7.01(d) shall survive until ninety (90) days after the expiration of the statute of limitation for the assessment, collection and levy of any Indemnifiable Tax.

 

(e)                                  MLC’s Duty to Indemnify.  Subject to Section 14.04(i), to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law MLC shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless PESRM, its Affiliates, and their respective advisors, agents, attorneys, consultants, contractors, directors, employees, officers, managers and representatives from and against any Liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of (i) any breach by MLC of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, any other PESRM Transaction Document, the PESRM-MLC ISDA Master Agreement or made in connection therewith, (ii) any representation or warranty of MLC made in this Agreement, any other PESRM Transaction Document, the PESRM-MLC ISDA Master Agreement or in connection therewith, in each case, proving to be false or misleading, (iii) any failure by MLC to comply with or observe any Applicable Law (including Environmental Laws), (iv) MLC’s negligence or willful misconduct, or (v) injury, disease, or death of any person, damage to or loss of any property, or any fine or penalty, any of which is caused by MLC or its advisors, agents, attorneys, consultants, contractors, directors, employees, officers, managers or representatives in the exercise of any of the rights granted under this Agreement or any other PESRM Transaction Documents except to the extent that such injury, disease, death, or damage to or loss of property was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of PESRM, its Affiliates or any of their respective advisors, agents, attorneys, consultants, contractors, directors, employees, officers, managers or representatives.

 

(f)                                   Notice of Indemnity Claim.  The Party to be indemnified (the “Indemnified Party” shall notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) as soon as practicable after receiving notice of any Proceeding brought against the Indemnified Party which may give rise to the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Agreement and for which the Indemnified Party, at its election and upon notice to the Indemnifying Party, intends to exercise such right to indemnification (such Proceeding a “Third Party Claim”), and shall furnish to the Indemnifying Party the complete details of such Third Party Claim within its knowledge. Any delay or failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice to the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure.

 

(g)                                  Defense of Indemnity Claim.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense, at its own expense, of any Third Party Claim and to pursue the defense thereof in good faith by appropriate actions or proceedings promptly taken or instituted and diligently pursued, including to employ and engage counsel of its own choice; provided, that such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the Indemnifying Party’s appointment of counsel to represent an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the

right to employ separate counsel, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party to represent the Indemnified Party would present a conflict of interest or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such Third Party Claim, provided that appointment within 30 Days after notice of the institution of such Third Party Claim shall be considered reasonable for the purposes of this section, and provided further that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to appoint separate counsel only after the receipt by the Indemnifying Party of a notice provided by the Indemnified Party that counsel has not been employed within a reasonable time after the institution of such Third Party Claim. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Proceeding suit that the Indemnifying Party defends, including, if appropriate, making any counterclaim or cross-complaint. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Indemnified Party’s cooperation shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party, provided that the Indemnified Party shall provide, promptly upon request of the Indemnifying Party, evidence (which may be in the form of an invoice or receipt for such costs) of any such costs incurred up to the date of such request. Without in any way limiting the foregoing obligation of the Indemnifying Party with respect to cooperation by the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost and expense, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such Third Party Claim.

 

(h)                                 Settlement of Third Party Claims.  No Third Party Claim may be settled or compromised (i) by the Indemnified Party without the consent of the Indemnifying Party or (ii) by the Indemnifying Party without the consent of the Indemnified Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume responsibility for and control of any judicial or administrative proceedings after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default by the Indemnifying Party.

 

(i)                                     Insurance.  The mere purchase and existence of insurance does not reduce or release either Party from any liability incurred or assumed under this Agreement.

(iii)                               There has been no Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Material on, at, under or from any Real Property, or other facilities currently owned, leased or operated by the Transaction Parties that are material to their business, including the PESRM Infrastructure, that could result in liability of the Transaction Parties under any Environmental Law;
