3. Tariff Rates and Commitments

 

  3.1 During the Term, MPC shall ship on each Pipeline Segment each Quarter an
aggregate volume of Product equal to its applicable Quarterly Throughput
Commitment for such Quarter or, in the event it fails to do so, shall remit to
MPL the Quarterly Deficiency Payment pursuant to Section 3.5. All volumes
shipped by MPC on the Pipeline Segments will be subject to the Tariffs, as may
be amended from time to time in accordance with FERC methodologies and as
provided herein.

 

  3.2 MPC shall be deemed to have shipped its Quarterly Throughput Commitment on
the applicable Pipeline Segment if the average quantity of Product that MPC
ships on such Pipeline Segment in any Quarter under the Tariffs equals at least
the Quarterly Throughput Commitment applicable to such Pipeline Segment for such
Quarter.

 

  3.3

Except during a Force Majeure event or a temporary shutdown of the Pipeline
System for pipeline testing, maintenance or repair, MPL agrees to maintain and
operate the Pipeline System so that the actual operating capacity of the
Pipeline System that is available for shipment of Product equals or exceeds
389,000

 

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Barrels per Day (the “Minimum Capacity”), and MPL may transport volumes in
excess of any volumes shipped by MPC to the extent there is available capacity
on the Pipeline System.

 

  3.4 MPC agrees to pay MPL monthly: (a) the Tariff Rates in effect for all MPC
Deliveries transported by MPL on the Pipeline System during such month; and
(b) any loading, handling, transfer and other charges incurred with respect to
such MPC Deliveries for such month in accordance with the provisions as set
forth in the Tariffs (or any other tariffs that may be applicable to such MPC
Deliveries). Such monthly payments will be paid by MPC to MPL within fifteen
(15) Days of the invoice date.

 

  3.5 Subject to the provisions of Section 4, if the aggregate volumes of
Product shipped by MPC on any Pipeline Segment during any Quarter are less than
the applicable Quarterly Throughput Commitment for such Pipeline Segment for
such Quarter then, in addition to paying any amounts incurred by MPC pursuant to
Section 3.4 with respect to the MPC Deliveries for such Quarter, MPC shall also
pay MPL a deficiency payment (the “Quarterly Deficiency Payment”) equal to the
product of:

 

  (a) the difference between the applicable Quarterly Throughput Commitment for
such Pipeline Segment for such Quarter and the aggregate volume of MPC
Deliveries on such Pipeline Segment for such Quarter (the “Deficiency Volume”);
and

 

  (b) the applicable Weighted Average Tariff Rate for such Pipeline Segment for
such Quarter.

Quarterly Deficiency Payments, if any, shall be paid by MPC to MPL either ten
(10) Days following MPC’s receipt of the applicable invoice from MPL or the last
Day of the month following the end of the applicable Quarter, whichever is
later.

 

  3.6

The dollar amount of any Quarterly Deficiency Payments paid by MPC shall
constitute prepayment for transportation of Product by MPC on the applicable
Pipeline Segment and will be posted as a credit (“Prepaid Transportation
Credits”) to MPC’s account. If, during any Quarter during the Term, MPC
Deliveries on a Pipeline Segment exceed the applicable Quarterly Throughput
Commitment on such Pipeline Segment for such Quarter, MPC shall be permitted to
apply Prepaid Transportation Credits against any amounts due from MPC and
payable to MPL with respect to the transportation of any volumes on such
Pipeline Segment in excess of the Quarterly Throughput Commitment on such
Pipeline Segment for such Quarter. Any Prepaid Transportation Credits that are
not used by MPC during the four (4) Quarters immediately following the Quarter
for which said Prepaid Transportation Credits were posted to MPC’s account (the
“Credit Period”) will expire. If, during any such four (4) Quarter period the

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Nominated Volume on such Pipeline Segment for any month equals or exceeds the
applicable portion of the Quarterly Throughput Commitment for such Pipeline
Segment for such month (the “Monthly Commitment”), but MPC is prevented from
shipping volumes in excess of the Monthly Commitment during such month because
of a lack of available capacity on such Pipeline Segment, either because (a) the
Pipeline Segment is in allocation, (b) the Pipeline Segment is undergoing
testing, maintenance or repair, or (c) a Force Majeure has occurred that
prevents MPL from transporting MPC volumes on such Pipeline Segment in excess of
the Monthly Commitment, then the Credit Period shall be extended by an
equivalent time period for which MPC has been prevented from shipping volumes on
such Pipeline Segment in excess of the Monthly Commitment. For the purposes of
this Section 3.6, during the Term, if any Pipeline Segment is in allocation for
any portion of a month, such Pipeline Segment will be considered to be in
allocation for the entirety of such month.

 

  3.7 Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.6 to the contrary, upon the
expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, to the extent that
MPC, at the time of such expiration or termination, holds any unused Prepaid
Transportation Credits, MPC shall be permitted to apply such Prepaid
Transportation Credits against any amounts incurred by MPC and payable to MPL
with respect to any MPC Deliveries on the applicable Pipeline Segment until the
expiration of the applicable Credit Period with respect to such Prepaid
Transportation Credits. This Section 3.7 shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Agreement.

 

  3.8 If, during any month, the Nominated Volume on a Pipeline Segment averages
at least the applicable Monthly Commitment for such Pipeline Segment for such
month, but the Binding Nominated Volume for such Pipeline Segment for such month
is less than the applicable Monthly Commitment for such Pipeline Segment for
such month due to the Pipeline Segment being in allocation as provided in the
Tariff, then MPC shall be deemed to have shipped the applicable Monthly
Commitment on such Pipeline Segment for such month.

 

  3.9 If, during any month, the Nominated Volume on a Pipeline Segment averages
at least the applicable Monthly Commitment for such Pipeline Segment for such
month, and MPC is prevented from shipping the applicable Monthly Commitment for
such Pipeline Segment solely because the available throughput or storage
capacity of such Pipeline Segment falls below the applicable Minimum Capacity,
then MPC shall be deemed to have shipped the applicable Monthly Commitment for
such Pipeline Segment for such month.

 

  3.10 If, during any month, the Nominated Volume on a Pipeline Segment averages
less than the applicable Monthly Commitment for such Pipeline Segment for such
month, and MPC is prevented from shipping its applicable Binding Nominated
Volume for such Pipeline Segment solely because such Pipeline Segment is in
allocation as provided in the Tariffs, then MPC shall be deemed to have shipped
its applicable Binding Nominated Volume for such Pipeline Segment for such
month.

 

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  3.11

No later than the 20th Day of the month following each Quarter, MPL shall
provide to MPC a spreadsheet, substantially in the form of Exhibit “A” attached
hereto and made a part hereof, showing MPC’s total throughput on the Pipeline
System and any Quarterly Deficiency Payments paid by MPC for such Quarter, as
well as any Prepaid Transportation Credits in MPC’s account.

 

  3.12 MPL may file to amend the Tariff Rates based on the FERC’s Order No.
OR00-1-000, issued September 12, 2001, granting market-based Tariff Rates on the
Pipeline System.

 

  3.13 MPC shall reimburse MPL for, or MPL shall be permitted to file Tariff
Rate increases for, each of the following:

 

  (a) any costs incurred by MPL in complying with any new Applicable Laws that
affect the services provided to MPC under this Agreement, provided that
(i) compliance by MPL with any such new Applicable Law requires substantial and
unanticipated capital expenditures by MPL, (ii) MPL has made efforts to mitigate
the effect of such Applicable Laws, and (iii) MPC will only be charged its
proportionate share of any such costs based on its shipments on the Pipeline
System. MPC and MPL will negotiate in good faith to agree on the level of the
increased Tariff Rates, which will be sufficient to allow MPL to recover its
cost of service consistent with established FERC ratemaking principles;

 

  (b) all taxes (other than income taxes, gross receipt taxes, ad valorem taxes,
property taxes and similar taxes) incurred by MPL on MPC’s behalf with respect
to the services provided under this Agreement, to the extent such reimbursement
is not prohibited by Applicable Law; and

 

  (c) the actual costs of any capital expenditures MPL agrees to make at MPC’s
request.

 

  3.14 MPC and its duly authorized representatives may, at MPC’s option and at
its sole expense at all reasonable times, but not more often than once in any
calendar year, audit the books and records of MPL with respect to the Quarterly
Deficiency Payments and any amounts payable by MPC hereunder. Any audit of a
particular calendar year must commence during the two-year period (or such
longer period as the Parties may agree) following the end of such year.

 

  3.15

During the Term hereof, MPL shall maintain the Tariffs for transportation of
Product through the Pipeline System and, except as expressly provided herein,

 

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  MPL shall not make material changes to the Tariffs without MPC’s consent,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld. MPC’s withholding its consent shall
not be considered unreasonable if the proposed Tariff change would materially
restrict or limit MPC’s ability to ship the Quarterly Throughput Commitment on
terms (other than tariff rates) consistent with those set forth in this
Agreement or would otherwise negatively alter or abridge MPC’s rights (other
than with respect to tariff rates) as stated in this Agreement.

 

  3.16 Notwithstanding Section 3.13, MPL may change the Tariffs as may be
reasonably required in response to changes in Applicable Laws. However, before
filing any such Tariff changes with the applicable Governmental Authority, MPL
shall transmit a copy of the proposed Tariff change to MPC and afford MPC a
reasonable period of time to submit comments to MPL as to whether the proposed
Tariff change is acceptable and in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement. MPL shall take into account MPC’s comments in any Tariff that it
subsequently files with the applicable Governmental Authority.

 

4. Force Majeure

 

  4.1 As soon as possible following the occurrence of a Force Majeure event, MPL
shall provide MPC with written notice of the occurrence of such Force Majeure
event (a “Force Majeure Notice”). MPL shall identify the full particulars and
the approximate length of time that MPL reasonably believes in good faith such
Force Majeure event shall continue (the “Force Majeure Period”). If MPL advises
in any Force Majeure Notice that it reasonably believes in good faith that the
Force Majeure Period shall continue for more than twelve (12) consecutive
months, then, subject to Section 5 below, at any time after MPL delivers such
Force Majeure Notice, either Party may terminate this Agreement, but only upon
delivery to the other Party of a notice (a “Termination Notice”) at least twelve
(12) months prior to the expiration of the Force Majeure Period; provided,
however, that such Termination Notice shall be deemed canceled and of no effect
if the Force Majeure Period ends prior to the expiration of such twelve
(12) month period. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Party may exercise its
right under this Section 4.1 to terminate this Agreement as a result of a Force
Majeure event with respect to any machinery, storage, tanks, lines of pipe or
other equipment that has been unaffected by, or has been restored to working
order since, the applicable Force Majeure event, including pursuant to a
restoration under Section 5.4.

 

  4.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if MPC delivers a Termination Notice to MPL
(the “MPC Termination Notice”) and, within thirty (30) Days after receiving such
MPC Termination Notice, MPL notifies MPC that MPL reasonably believes in good
faith that it shall be capable of fully performing its obligations under this
Agreement within a reasonable period of time, then the MPC Termination Notice
shall be deemed revoked and the applicable portion of this Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect as if such MPC Termination Notice had never
been given.

 

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  4.3 Subject to Section 5 below, MPL’s obligations to transport the Minimum
Capacity on the Pipeline System may be temporarily suspended during the
occurrence of, and for the entire duration of, a Force Majeure event that
prevents MPL from transporting the Minimum Capacity on the Pipeline System. If
MPL is unable to transport the Minimum Capacity due to a Force Majeure event,
then MPC’s obligation to ship the applicable Quarterly Throughput Commitment on
the applicable Pipeline Segment and pay the applicable Quarterly Deficiency
Payment shall be reduced to the extent that MPL is prevented from transporting
the full applicable Quarterly Throughput Commitment. At such time as MPL is
capable of transporting volumes equal to the full applicable Quarterly
Throughput Commitment on such Pipeline Segment, MPC’s obligation to ship the
full applicable Quarterly Throughput Commitment shall be restored.

 

  4.4 If MPC experiences a Force Majeure event at its Garyville, Louisiana
refinery, MPC shall provide MPL with written notice of the occurrence of such
Force Majeure event. MPC shall identify the full particulars and approximate
length of time that MPC reasonably believes in good faith such Force Majeure
event shall continue. If such Force Majeure event reduces MPC’s Garyville,
Louisiana refinery’s crude petroleum throughput capacity by at least 50% for a
period of thirty (30) Days or more, then MPC’s Quarterly Throughput Commitment
for each Pipeline Segment will be reduced by 50%, regardless of the actual
reduction in such refinery’s crude petroleum throughput capacity, for the
duration of such reduction in throughput capacity.

 

5. Capabilities of the Pipeline System

 

  5.1 MPL shall use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize the disruption of
service on the Pipeline System and any Pipeline Segment. MPL shall promptly
inform MPC of any anticipated partial or complete disruption of service on the
Pipeline System and any Pipeline Segment that is reasonably expected to extend
for more than twenty-four (24) hours, including relevant information about the
nature, extent, cause and expected duration of the disruption and the actions
MPL is taking to resume full operations, provided that MPL shall not have any
liability for any failure to notify, or delay in notifying, MPC of any such
matters except to the extent MPC has been materially prejudiced or damaged by
such failure or delay. MPL will provide MPC with at least ninety (90) Days’
notice of any planned maintenance or repair activity on the Pipeline System that
will significantly reduce the Minimum Capacity for the Pipeline System.

 

  5.2

Subject to Force Majeure, disruptions for routine testing, repair and
maintenance consistent with Product pipeline industry standards, scheduling
requirements as set forth in the Tariffs, and any requirements of Applicable
Law, MPL shall

 

10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  accept for shipment on the Pipeline System in accordance with pipeline
industry standards all Product that meets the quality specifications of the
Tariffs. Further, MPL shall maintain and repair all portions of the Pipeline
System in accordance with Product pipeline industry standards and in a manner
which allows each Pipeline Segment to be capable, subject to Force Majeure or
temporary shutdown for pipeline testing, repair and maintenance, of shipping,
storing and delivering volumes of Product that are no less than the Minimum
Capacity.

 

  5.3 If, for any reason, including without limitation a Force Majeure event,
the throughput or storage capacity of any Pipeline Segment falls below the
Minimum Capacity, then (a) during such period of reduced throughput or storage
MPC’s obligation to ship the applicable Quarterly Throughput Commitment for such
Pipeline Segment shall be reduced as described in Section 4.3 above and
(b) within a reasonable period of time after the commencement of such reduction,
MPL shall make repairs to and/or replace the affected portion of such Pipeline
Segment to restore the capacity of such Pipeline Segment to the Minimum
Capacity. Except as provided below in Section 5.4 and Section 5.5, all such
restoration shall be at MPL’s cost and expense unless the damage creating the
need for such repairs was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of MPC,
its employees, agents or customers.

 

  5.4

If, for any reason, MPL fails to maintain the capacity of any Pipeline Segment
at least at the Minimum Capacity for a period of thirty (30) consecutive Days,
except during a Force Majeure event or temporary shutdown for pipeline testing,
repair or maintenance, either Party shall have the right to call a meeting
between executives of both Parties by providing at least two (2) Business Days’
prior written notice. Any such meeting shall be held at a mutually agreeable
location and will be attended by executives of both Parties having sufficient
authority to commit his or her respective Party to a Capacity Restoration
(hereinafter defined). At the meeting, the Parties will negotiate in good faith
with the objective of reaching a joint resolution for the restoration of
capacity on such Pipeline Segment which will, among other things, specify steps
to be taken by MPL to fully accomplish such restoration and the deadlines by
which such restoration must be completed (the “Capacity Restoration”). Any such
Capacity Restoration agreed to shall set forth an agreed upon time schedule for
such restoration. Such time schedule shall be reasonable under the
circumstances, consistent with customary pipeline transportation industry
standards and shall take into consideration MPL’s economic considerations
relating to costs of the repairs and MPC’s requirements concerning its
operations. Subject to the remainder of this Section 5.4 and to Section 5.5, MPC
shall bear the entire cost of any Capacity Restoration. In the event MPC’s
economic considerations justify incurring additional costs to restore such
Pipeline Segment in a more expedited manner than the time schedule determined in
accordance with the preceding sentence, MPC may require MPL to expedite the
restoration to the extent commercially reasonable, subject to MPC’s payment, in
advance, of the estimated incremental

 

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  costs to be incurred by MPL as a result of such expedited time schedule. In
the event the Parties agree to an expedited restoration plan wherein MPC agrees
to fund a portion of the restoration cost, then neither Party shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.1 above so long as such
restoration is being conducted with due diligence, and MPC shall pay such
portion of the restoration cost to MPL in advance based on an estimate
conforming to applicable Product pipeline industry standards. Upon completion of
the restoration, MPC shall pay the difference between the actual portion of
restoration costs to be paid by MPC pursuant to this Section 5.4 and the
estimated amount paid under the preceding sentence within thirty (30) Days after
receipt of MPL’s invoice or, if appropriate, MPL shall refund to MPC the excess
of the estimate paid by MPC over MPL’s actual costs as previously described
within thirty (30) Days after completion of the restoration.

 

  5.5 If MPL either (a) refuses or fails to meet with MPC within the period set
forth in Section 5.4, (b) refuses to agree to perform a Capacity Restoration or
(c) fails to perform its obligations in compliance with the terms of a Capacity
Restoration, then MPC may require MPL to complete a restoration of the
applicable Pipeline Segment. Any such restoration required under this
Section 5.5 shall be completed by MPL at MPC’s cost. MPL shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to continue to provide transportation of Product tendered by
MPC under the Tariffs while such restoration is being completed. Any work
performed by MPL pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall be performed and completed
in a good and workmanlike manner consistent with applicable Product pipeline
industry standards and in accordance with all Applicable Laws.

 

  5.6 The services provided by MPL pursuant to this Agreement shall consist only
of transportation pursuant to the Tariffs and MPL will not be obligated to
provide terminalling or tankage facilities at any location or any intermediate
interconnection point or truck unloading as part of the services it provides.

 

  5.7 Any liability and measurement of volume losses of Product will be governed
by the Tariffs.

 

6. Operational Modification, Additional Facilities and Capacity Expansion
Requested by MPC

MPC may at any time make a written request to MPL for an operational
modification, including new truck unloading facilities or other facilities
and/or a capacity expansion of the Pipeline System (each, an “Operational
Modification”), and shall include in such written request the parameters and
specifications of the requested Operational Modification. Upon receipt of such a
request, MPL shall promptly evaluate the relevant factors related to such
request, including, without limitation: engineering and design criteria,
limitations affecting the Operational Modification, cost and financing factors
and the effect of the Operational Modification on the overall operation of the
Pipeline

 

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

System. If MPL determines that such Operational Modification is operationally
and commercially feasible, MPL shall present a proposal to MPC concerning the
design and projected costs of such Operational Modification and the manner in
which such costs will be recovered from MPC. If MPL determines the Operational
Modification is not commercially or operationally feasible, it shall provide MPC
with an explanation of and justification for such determination. If MPL notifies
MPC that the Operational Modification may be commercially and operationally
feasible, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine appropriate
terms and conditions of MPC’s implementation of such Operational Modification,
which shall include, without limitation, the scope and the appropriate timing of
such Operational Modification, as well as a reasonable return on capital with
respect to such Operational Modification, which may include, without limitation,
direct funding of all or part of the costs by MPC, an increase in Tariff Rates
and/or an increase in the Quarterly Throughput Commitment.

 

7. Suspension of Refinery Operations

 

  7.1 In the event MPC decides to permanently or indefinitely suspend refining
operations at its Garyville, Louisiana refinery for a period that shall continue
for at least twelve (12) consecutive months, MPC may provide written notice to
MPL of MPC’s intention to suspend operations (the “Suspension Notice”). Such
Suspension Notice shall be sent at any time after MPC has publicly announced
such suspension of operations and, upon the expiration of the twelve (12) month
period following the date such notice is sent (the “Notice Period”), this
Agreement shall terminate. If MPC publicly announces, at least two (2) months
prior to the expiration of the Notice Period, its intent to resume operations at
its Garyville, Louisiana refinery, then the Suspension Notice shall be deemed
revoked and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such
Suspension Notice had never been delivered.

 

  7.2 If refining operations at MPC’s Garyville, Louisiana refinery are
suspended for any reason (including refinery turnaround operations and other
planned maintenance), MPC shall remain liable for Quarterly Deficiency Payments
under this Agreement for the duration of such suspension, unless and until this
Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 7.1.

 

  7.3 MPC shall provide MPL with at least thirty (30) Days’ prior written notice
of any suspension of operations at MPC’s Garyville, Louisiana refinery due to a
planned refinery turnaround or significant scheduled maintenance.

 

8. Nominations and Tenders

MPC’s monthly nominations and tenders of Product for shipment through the
Pipeline System, and MPL’s obligation to accept and transport such volumes of
Product, shall at all times be subject to the terms and provisions of the
Tariffs and the rules and regulations of the FERC. Subject to the FERC’s
approval, the Tariffs shall be consistent with the rights and obligations of the
Parties under this Agreement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. Regulatory Matters

 

  9.1 In the event that the FERC takes any adverse action with respect to the
Tariffs or any tariffs that MPL may file in the future, in each case that
negatively affects the rights or obligations of MPC under this Agreement, MPL
shall diligently defend the Tariffs, including appealing any such adverse
action. If any such adverse action is not stayed pending appeal, each Party’s
obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended until a stay is implemented
or a final, non-appealable decision is rendered with respect to such adverse
action. If a final, non-appealable decision is ultimately issued by the FERC and
confirmed by a court having final authority in the matter that requires MPL to
amend the Tariffs in a manner that is fundamentally contradictory to the
provisions of this Agreement, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to
amend this Agreement to comply with any such judgment and to retain the
protections and structures reflected by its current terms to the maximum extent
permissible under such judgment. In the event the Parties are unable to reach
agreement with respect to such an amendment within a reasonable period of time
(which shall not be less than thirty (30) Days) after the issuance of such final
judgment, then either Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to
the other Party.

 

  9.2 MPC hereby agrees: (a) to take all such actions and do all such things as
MPL shall reasonably request in connection with its applications for, and the
processing of, any necessary certificates, approvals and authorizations of any
applicable Governmental Authorities; (b) at all times to support the Tariffs
specified in this Agreement as a rate that MPC has agreed to pay; (c) not
directly or indirectly take any action that indicates a lack of support for the
Tariffs at the terms agreed to by MPC in this Agreement; and (d) not to file any
action, protest, complaint or other action with the FERC with respect to the
Tariffs, including any increased rates based on the inflationary index referred
to in Section 3.12.

 

  9.3 The Parties acknowledge and agree that MPL operates the Pipeline System as
a common carrier, and MPC’s rights as a shipper on the Pipeline System shall be
subject to all Applicable Laws related to common carrier pipelines. The terms
and provisions of the Tariffs shall apply to the services provided by MPL
pursuant to this Agreement.

 

  9.4 In carrying out the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Parties
shall comply with all present and future Applicable Laws of any Governmental
Authority having jurisdiction.

10. Confidentiality

 

  10.1 From and after the Effective Date, each Party shall hold, and shall cause
its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, managers, officers,
employees, agents, consultants, advisors, contractors and other representatives
(collectively, “Representatives”) to hold all Confidential Information of the
other Party in strict confidence, with at least the same degree of care that
applies to such Party’s confidential and proprietary information and shall not
use such Confidential Information except in connection with its performance or
acceptance of services hereunder and shall not release or disclose such
Confidential Information to any other Person, except its Representatives. Each
Party shall be responsible for any breach of this section by any of its
Representatives.

 

  10.2 If a Party receives a subpoena or other demand for disclosure of
Confidential Information received from any other Party or must disclose to a
Governmental Authority any Confidential Information received from such other
Party in order to obtain or maintain any required governmental approval, the
receiving Party shall, to the extent legally permissible, provide notice to the
providing Party before disclosing such Confidential Information. Upon receipt of
such notice, the providing Party shall promptly either seek an appropriate
protective order, waive the receiving Party’s confidentiality obligations
hereunder to the extent necessary to permit the receiving Party to respond to
the demand, or otherwise fully satisfy the subpoena or demand or the
requirements of the applicable Governmental Authority. If the receiving Party is
legally compelled to disclose such Confidential Information or if the providing
Party does not promptly respond as contemplated by this section, the receiving
Party may disclose that portion of Confidential Information covered by the
notice or demand.

 

  10.3 Each Party acknowledges that the disclosing Party would not have an
adequate remedy at law for the breach by the receiving Party of any one or more
of the covenants contained in this Section 10 and agrees that, in the event of
such breach, the disclosing Party may, in addition to the other remedies that
may be available to it, apply to a court for an injunction to prevent breaches
of this Section 10 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this
Section 10. Notwithstanding any other section hereof, the provisions of this
Section 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

11. Assignment; Partnership Change in Control

 

  11.1 Neither Party may assign its rights under this Agreement without prior
written consent from the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld; provided, however, that either Party may assign its rights under this
Agreement to a successor in interest resulting from any merger, reorganization,
consolidation or as part of a sale of all or substantially all of its assets.
Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of
the successors and assigns of the Parties hereto.

 

15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  11.2 MPC’s obligations hereunder shall not terminate in connection with a
Partnership Change of Control; provided, however, that in the case of any
Partnership Change of Control, MPC shall have the option to extend the Term of
this Agreement as provided in Section 2. MPL shall provide MPC with notice of
any Partnership Change of Control at least sixty (60) Days prior to the
effective date thereof.

 

  11.3 Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, in the event
of any change in ownership of the Pipeline System or MPL, such that MPLX LP, a
Delaware limited partnership, does not, directly or indirectly, hold a majority
ownership interest in or otherwise control the Pipeline System or its record
owners, MPC shall have the right to terminate this Agreement during the sixty
(60) Day period following such change in ownership by providing MPL or its
successor a minimum of thirty (30) Days prior written notice.

 

12. Representations and Warranties

Each Party to this Agreement represents and warrants to the other that it is an
entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the state of its organization and has all requisite corporate power and
corporate authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out the terms and
provisions hereof.

 

13. Termination and Amendment

 

  13.1 This Agreement may not be terminated, except as expressly provided
herein, nor may any of its provisions be amended or waived without prior written
consent of both Parties hereto.

 

  13.2 Neither failure nor delay by any Party to exercise any right or remedy of
such Party provided herein shall operate as a waiver with respect to a future
exercise thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or
remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right or remedy.

 

  13.3 In the event of any breach of a term or condition of this Agreement by
either Party, the other Party’s remedy shall be limited to the direct damages
caused thereby and in no event shall a Party be liable to the other Party for
any consequential, special, indirect, punitive, or exemplary damages, howsoever
caused.

 

  13.4

Upon termination of this Agreement for reasons other than a default by MPC or
any other termination of this Agreement initiated by MPC pursuant to Section 4
or Section 7, MPC shall have the right to require MPL to enter into a new

 

16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  transportation services agreement with MPC that (a) is consistent with the
terms and objectives set forth in this Agreement and (b) has commercial terms
that are, in the aggregate, equal to or more favorable to MPL than fair market
value terms that would be agreed to by unaffiliated parties negotiating at arm’s
length provided; however, that the term of any such new transportation services
agreement shall not extend beyond December 31, 2032.

 

  13.5 In the event MPL proposes to enter into a transportation services
agreement with a third party upon the termination of this Agreement for reasons
other than a default by MPC or any other termination of this Agreement initiated
by MPC pursuant to Section 4 or Section 7, MPL shall give MPC ninety (90) Days’
prior written notice of any proposed new transportation services agreement with
a third party, which notice shall include details of all the material terms and
conditions of such proposed transportation services agreement and MPC shall have
thirty (30) Days following MPC’s receipt of such written notice (the “First
Offer Period”) in which MPC may make a good faith offer to enter into a new
transportation services agreement with MPL (the “Transportation Right of First
Refusal”). If MPC makes an offer on terms no less favorable to MPL than the
third-party offer with respect to such transportation services agreement during
the First Offer Period, then MPL shall be obligated to enter into a
transportation services agreement with MPC in accordance with Section 13.4. If
MPC does not exercise its Transportation Right of First Refusal in the manner
set forth above, MPL may, for the succeeding ninety (90) Days, proceed with the
negotiation of such third-party transportation services agreement. If no
third-party transportation services agreement is consummated during such ninety
(90) Day period, the terms and conditions of this Section 13.5 shall again
become effective.

 

14. Notices

additional ninety (90) Days; (b) withhold any payments due to the defaulting
