(l)    The quantity of Product in a Pipeline Delivery shall be determined at the time of each Pipeline Delivery by an Independent Inspector gauging of SELLER’s issuing tank(s) immediately before and after pumping. Should Hawaiian Electric elect to perform a Reverse Line Displacement, the total quantity of Product Delivered to Hawaiian Electric shall be determined by an Independent Inspector gauging of Hawaiian Electric’s receiving tank(s) immediately before and after pumping. Both Hawaiian Electric and SELLER agree that if measurement of Hawaiian Electric’s receiving tank(s) is, in the opinion of the Independent Inspector, considered to have been rendered inaccurate for reasons including, but not limited to, operational constraints or inadvertent transfer of Product or of SELLER’s Pipeline Fill within SELLER’s facilities, then the quantity of Product or SELLER’s Pipeline Fill may be determined by an Independent Inspector gauging of SELLER’s issuing tank(s) reduced by reference to the rise in SELLER’s tank(s) receiving SELLER’s Pipeline Fill immediately before and after pumping. [...]

(m)    Quantities of Product sold and Delivered by SELLER and purchased and received by Hawaiian Electric hereunder shall be calculated in accordance with the current measurement standards adopted by industry, ASTM, API and other recognized standard-setting bodies as are applicable in the opinion of the Independent Inspector and shall be expressed in G.S.V., U.S. Barrels @ 60 DF.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 17.1:    Waiver and Severability. If any section or provision of this Contract or any exhibit or rider hereto is held by any court or other competent authority or be illegal, unenforceable or invalid, the remaining terms, provisions, rights and obligations of this Contract shall not be affected. The failure of a Party hereunder to assert a right or enforce an obligation of the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or obligation. In no event shall any waiver by either Party of any default under this Contract operate as a waiver of any further default.

Section 17.2:    Assignment. This Contract shall extend to and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Companies and SELLER, provided, however, that no assignments of this Contract shall be made by the Companies or SELLER without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not unreasonably be withheld.

Section 17.3:    Conflicts of Interest. Conflicts of interest related to this Contract are strictly prohibited. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no Party, nor any director, employee, or agent of a Party shall give to or receive from any director, employee or agent of the other Party any gift, entertainment or other favor of significant value, or any commission, fee or rebate. Likewise, no Party nor any director, employee or agent of a Party shall enter into any business arrangement with any director, employee or agent of the other Party (or any affiliate), unless such person is acting for and on behalf of the other Party, without prior written notification thereof to the other Party.

Section 17.4:    Applicable Law/Venue. This Contract shall be construed in accordance with, and all disputes arising hereunder shall be determined in accordance with, the law of the State of Hawaii, U.S.A. Hawaii shall be the exclusive venue for any litigation arising hereunder. Each Party agrees and consents that any dispute, litigation, action or proceeding arising out of this Contract, however defined, shall be brought exclusively in the State of Hawaii in a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 17.5:    Entire Agreement/Modification. This Contract shall constitute the entire understanding between the Parties with respect to all matters and things herein mentioned. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed by and between the Parties that neither Party is now relying upon any collateral, prior or contemporaneous agreement, assurance, representation or warranty, written or oral, pertaining to the subject matter contained herein. This Contract shall not be modified or changed except by written instrument executed by the duly authorized representatives of the Parties hereto.

Section 17.6:    Contract Is Not an Asset. This Contract shall not be deemed to be an asset of either Party, and, at the option of a Party, shall terminate in the event of any voluntary or involuntary receivership, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings affecting the other Party.

Section 17.7:    Status of the Parties. Nothing in this Contract shall be construed to constitute either Party as a joint venturer, co-venturer, joint lessor, joint operator or partner of the other. In performing services pursuant to this Contract, SELLER is acting solely as an



independent contractor maintaining complete control over its employees and operations. Unless otherwise provided in this Contract, neither the Companies nor SELLER is authorized to take any action in any way whatsoever for or on behalf of the other.

Section 17.8:    Headings. The headings or captions are for convenient reference only and have no force or effect or legal meaning in the construction or enforcement of this Contract.

Section 17.9:    Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure.
(a)    Each Party may have a proprietary interest or other need for confidentiality in information that may be furnished to the other pursuant to this Agreement (“Confidential Information”). The Party disclosing such information shall be referred to in this section as the “Disclosing Party,” and the Party receiving such information shall be referred to as the ”Receiving Party.”

(b)    The Receiving Party will hold in confidence and, without the consent of the Disclosing Party, will not use, reproduce, distribute, transmit, or disclose, directly or indirectly, the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party except as permitted herein. The Receiving Party may only disclose the Confidential Information to its officers, directors, employees, professional advisors and independent contractors and consultants with a direct need to know the information for the implementation or exercise of rights and/or performance of obligations under or arising from this Contract, provided that such persons/entities (other than officers, directors and employees) are bound by written confidentiality agreements with terms and conditions that are no less restrictive than those contained in this section. Without limiting the foregoing, the Receiving Party agrees that it will exercise at least the same standard of care in protecting the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as it does with its own Confidential Information of a similar nature, but in any event, no less than reasonable care.

(c)    Confidential Information for purposes of this Contract shall not include information if and only to the extent that the Receiving Party establishes that the information: (i) is or becomes a part of the public domain through no act or omission of the Receiving Party; (ii) was in the Receiving Party’s lawful possession prior to the disclosure and had not been obtained by the Receiving Party either directly or indirectly from the Disclosing Party; or (iii) is lawfully disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party without restriction on disclosure. Confidential Information may also be disclosed by the Receiving Party pursuant to a requirement of a governmental agency, regulatory body or by operation of law, provided that the recipient shall disclose only that part of the Confidential Information that it is required to disclose and shall notify the Disclosing Party prior to such disclosure in a timely fashion in order to permit the Disclosing Party to lawfully attempt to prevent or restrict such disclosure should it so elect, and shall take all other reasonable and lawful measures to ensure the continued confidential treatment of the same by the party to which the Confidential Information is disclosed.

(d)    Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Companies may disclose Confidential Information to the Commission, the Consumer Advocate, and/or any other governmental regulatory agency with notice to, but without need of prior consent by SELLER, provided that the Companies takes reasonable steps to obtain approval to submit the same under seal or under other procedures designed to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information.





(e)    The confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations contained in this Section 17.9 shall remain in effect for a period of three (3) years following the termination or earlier cancellation of this Contract; provided, however, that the confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations with respect to information concerning the Company’s generation, transmission and distribution systems shall remain in effect indefinitely.

Section 17.10     Financial Compliance/Lease/No Consolidation:        
(a)    SELLER shall provide or cause to be provided to the Companies on a timely basis, as reasonably determined by the Companies, all information, including but not limited to information that may be obtained in any audit referred to below (the “Information”), reasonably requested by the Companies for purposes of permitting the Companies and its parent company, Hawaiian Electric Industries ("HEI"), to comply with the requirements (initial and on-going) of (i) identifying variable interest entities and determining primary beneficiaries under the accounting principles of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation (“FASB ASC 810”), (ii) Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX 404”), (iii) FASB  ASC 842 Leases ("FASB ASC 842"), and (iv) all clarifications, interpretations and revisions of and regulations implementing FASB ASC 810, SOX 404, and  FASB ASC 842, Securities and Exchange Commission, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, Emerging Issues Task Force or other governing agencies. In addition, if required by the Companies in order to meet its compliance obligations, SELLER shall allow the Companies or its independent auditor, to audit, to the extent reasonably required, SELLER’s financial records, including its system of internal controls over financial reporting; provided that the Companies shall be responsible for all costs associated with the foregoing, including but not limited to SELLER's reasonable internal costs.
(b)    If there is a change in circumstances during the Term that would trigger consolidation of SELLER’s finances on to the Companies’ balance sheet, and such consolidation is not attributable to the Companies’ fault, then the Parties will take all commercially reasonable steps, including modification of the Contract, to eliminate the consolidation, while preserving the economic “benefit of the bargain” to both Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any reason, at any time during the Term, the Companies (and/or the Companies’ affiliates or HEI) in their good faith analysis and sole discretion are required to consolidate SELLER into its financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, then the Companies may take any and all action necessary to eliminate consolidation, including without limitation, by immediately terminating this Contract without fault or liability.

(c)    If there is a change in circumstances during the Term that would trigger the treatment of this Contract as a lease under FASB ASC 842, and such treatment is not attributable to the Companies’ fault, then the Parties will take all commercially reasonable steps, including modification of the Contract, to eliminate the lease treatment, while preserving the economic “benefit of the bargain” to both Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any reason, at any time during the Term, the Companies’ (and/or the Companies’ affiliates, or HEI) in their good faith analysis and sole discretion are required to treat this Contract as a lease under FASB ASC 842, then the Companies may take any and all action necessary to eliminate this capital lease treatment, including without limitation, by immediately terminating this Contract without fault or liability.





(d) The Companies shall, and shall cause HEI to, maintain the confidentiality of the Information as provided in this Section 17.10. The Companies may share the Information on a confidential basis with HEI and the independent auditors and attorneys for the Companies and HEI. (The Companies, HEI, and their respective independent auditors and attorneys are collectively referred to in this Section 17.10 as “Recipient.”) If either the Companies or HEI, in the exercise of their respective reasonable judgments, concludes that consolidation or financial reporting with respect to SELLER and/or this Contract is necessary, the Companies and HEI each shall have the right to disclose such of the Information as the Companies or HEI, as applicable, reasonably determines is necessary to satisfy applicable disclosure and reporting or other requirements and give SELLER prompt written notice thereof (in advance to the extent practicable under the circumstances). If the Companies or HEI disclose Information pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Companies and HEI shall, without limitation to the generality of the preceding sentence, have the right to disclose Information to the Commission and the Division of Consumer Advocacy of the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs of the State of Hawaii (“Consumer Advocate”) in connection with the Commission’s rate making activities for the Companies, and other HEI affiliated entities, provided that, if the scope or content of the Information to be disclosed to the Commission exceeds or is more detailed than that disclosed pursuant to the preceding sentence, such Information will not be disclosed until the Commission first issues a protective order to protect the confidentiality of such Information. Neither the Companies nor HEI shall use the Information for any purpose other than as permitted under this Section 17.10.

(e)    In circumstances other than those addressed in the immediately preceding paragraph, if any Recipient becomes legally compelled under applicable law or by legal process (e.g., deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose all or a portion of the Information, such Recipient shall undertake reasonable efforts to provide SELLER with prompt notice of such legal requirement prior to disclosure so that SELLER may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the terms of this Section 17.10. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or if SELLER waives compliance with the provisions of this Section 17.10, Recipient shall furnish only that portion of the Information which it is legally required to so furnish and shall use reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to any disclosed material.

(f)    The obligation of nondisclosure and restricted use imposed on each Recipient under this Section 17.10 shall not extend to any portion(s) of the Information which (a) was known to such Recipient prior to receipt, or (b) without the fault of such Recipient is available or becomes available to the general public, or (c) is received by such Recipient from a third party not bound by an obligation or duty of confidentiality.

Section 17.11: Miscellaneous. No use of the pipelines, facilities or equipment used in connection with this Contract shall be construed as having been dedicated to public use and it is hereby acknowledged by the Parties that the owner of any pipelines used to transport Product under this Contract retains the rights to determine who, other than the Parties to this Contract, shall use said pipelines, facilities, and equipment.

Section 17.12: Attorneys’ Fees. If there is a dispute between the Parties and either Party institutes a lawsuit, arbitration, mediation, or other proceeding to enforce, declare, or interpret the terms of this Contract, the prevailing Party shall be awarded its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.





Section 17.13: Offsets. In the event that a Party owes the other Party (“Offsetting Party”) any amount under this Contract, the Offsetting Party owed such amount may at any time offset any and all amounts that are due and owed to the other Party against such amount that the other Party owes the Offsetting Party. The Offsetting Party asserting an offset shall provide a prompt written explanation of the amount and the basis for the offset.

Section 17.14: Counterparts. This Contract may be executed in as many counterparts as desired by the Parties, any one of which shall have the force and effect of any original but all of which together shall constitute the same instrument. This Contract may also be executed by exchange of executed copies via facsimile or other electronic means, such as PDF, in which case - but not as a condition to the validity of the Contract - each Party shall subsequently send the other Party by mail the original executed copy. A Party's signature transmitted by facsimile or similar electronic means shall be considered an "original" signature for purposes of this Contract.





IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have executed this Contract on the day and year first above written.
