2.
Supplemental Procurement Arrangements

2.1Supplemental Quantities. From time to time, unless otherwise directed by Aron
and provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under
the Supply and Offtake Agreement, Alon USA may withdraw quantities of Crude Oil
from the BSR Crude Storage Tanks through the Alternate Delivery Point for
Eastbound Shipment or receive quantities of Crude Oil into the BSR Crude Storage
Tanks through the Alternate Delivery Point from Westbound Shipment. In each
case, the quantity of Crude Oil withdrawn or received shall be deemed to equal
the quantity reported by SPLP as having been injected or ejected at the
Supplemental Injection Point based on readings of SPLP's custody transfer meter
(each such quantity, an “Supplemental Quantity”). Once any Crude Oil is injected
into the Supplemental Pipeline, such Crude Oil shall constitute Supplemental
Material for purposes hereof. Each Supplemental Quantity shall be the amount
reported by SPLP, which amounts shall be reported as positive numbers and shall
indicate for each Supplemental Quantity whether it is an Eastbound or Westbound
Shipment.
2.2Certain Adjustments.
(a)For purposes of all monthly calculations under the Supply and Offtake
Agreement,
(i)the Monthly Supplemental Quantity shall be deemed to be subject to an
Included Transaction; provided that, if such Monthly Supplemental Quantity is a
positive amount, such Included Transaction shall constitute an agreement by the
Company to purchase Supplemental Material from Aron which shall represent a
positive volume for purposes of the Supply and Offtake Agreement and if such
Monthly Supplemental Quantity is negative, such Included Transaction shall
constitute an agreement of Aron to purchase Supplemental Material from the
Company which shall represent a negative volume for purposes of the Supply and
Offtake Agreement, and in each case having a per barrel price equal to the
Supplemental Price for that relevant month. The parties acknowledge that, for
purposes of calculating the Aggregate Monthly Product True-up Amount in
accordance with Schedule C to the Supply and Offtake Agreement, as a result of
the foregoing, the Monthly Supplemental Quantity shall be added to Aggregate
Product Sales for the relevant month and the Supplemental Material Product
Group, so that if the Monthly Supplemental Quantity is a positive number
(representing a purchase of Supplemental Material by the Company from Aron) it
shall increase Aggregate Product Sales and if the Monthly Supplemental Quantity
is a negative number (representing a purchase of Supplemental Material by Aron
from the Company) it shall decrease Aggregate Product Sales.

5

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

(ii)the Nederland-Krotz Buy/Sell Transaction shall be deemed to result in:
(1)the aggregate Shipped Quantity for such month being subject to an Included
Transaction under which Aron has sold such quantity to the Company at the
applicable price specified pursuant to the Nederland-Krotz Buy/Sell Confirmation
and, for purposes of the month in which such aggregate Shipped Quantity is
delivered, it shall be an increase to the Aggregate Product Sales for such month
for the Supplemental Material Product Group; and
(2)the aggregate Delivered Quantity for such month being subject to a
Procurement Contract under which Aron has purchased such quantity from the
Company at the applicable price specified pursuant to the Nederland-Krotz
Buy/Sell Confirmation and, for purposes of the month in which such Delivered
Quantity is delivered, it shall be an increase to Aggregate Crude Receipts for
such month.
(b)For purposes of calculating Net Payments under Section 10.1 of the Supply and
Offtake Agreement, the following provisions shall apply:
(i)“Adjusted Net Payment Conditions” shall consist of the following:
(1)Aron shall have determined, in its reasonable judgment based on such
inventory reports and other reasonable forms of evidence as may be available,
that the sum of the Supplemental Step-in Inventory and the aggregate quantity of
Supplemental Material injected into the Included Supplemental Facilities
following the Inventory Transfer Time under the Supplemental Inventory Sales
Agreement exceeds 300,000 Barrels; and
(2)Aron shall have received the “Supplemental LC” complying with the terms and
conditions specified in the Fee Letter.
(ii)Once the Adjusted Net Payment Conditions have been satisfied, and for so
long as the Supplemental LC is maintained and continues to satisfy the
maintenance requirements specified in the Fee letter, the determination of
Weekly Supply Value under Section 10.1(c) of the Supply and Offtake Agreement
shall be adjusted by including in such determination the deemed Procurement
Contract referred to in Section 2.2.(a)(ii)(2) above on the same basis as all
other Procurement Contracts for purposes of such determination; provided that if
Aron in its reasonable judgment determines, with respect to such deemed
Procurement Contracts, that Contract Nominations are deviating from actual
Shipped Quantities in excess of immaterial and customary variances, then for
purposes of determining the Weekly Supply Value Aron may from time to time
adjust the amount of such Contract Nominations as it deems appropriate.

6

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

(iii)The parties acknowledge and agree that neither the Supplemental Material
nor the Included Supplemental Facilities shall at any time be reflected in the
calculation of the Net Payment.
(iv)The parties acknowledge and agree the deemed Procurement Contract referred
to in Section 2.2.(a)(ii)(2) above shall be included in the determination of the
Weekly Supply Value only under the terms and conditions specified above.
Accordingly, at all times prior to the satisfaction of the Adjusted Net Payment
Conditions and thereafter at any time at which the Supplemental LC has ceased to
comply with the maintenance conditions specified in the Fee Letter, the
determination of Weekly Supply Value shall be made as set forth in Section
10.1(d) of the Supply and Offtake Agreement, without including such deemed
Procurement Contract as contemplated by Section 2.2(b)(ii) above.
2.3Measurements. For purposes of determining the Monthly Supplemental Quantity,
Aron shall rely on the pipeline statements provided by SPLP with respect to the
volumes on the Supplemental Pipeline.
2.4Shipments from Nederland Terminal to the Refinery.
(a)From time to time, the parties may enter into buy/sell transactions pursuant
to the Nederland-Krotz Buy/Sell Confirmation (each, a “Nederland-Krotz Buy/Sell
Transaction”), under which, in the case of each Nederland-Krotz Buy/Sell
Transaction, Aron shall sell to the Company a quantity of Supplemental Material
at the time it passes the delivery point specified in the Nederland-Krotz
Buy/Sell Confirmation (the “Shipped Quantity”), which the Company shall
thereafter arrange to transport to the Refinery, and the Company shall sell to
Aron the portion of the Shipped Quantity that is delivered into the Crude
Storage Tanks at the Refinery as such quantity passes the Crude Intake Point
(the “Delivered Quantity”), in each case as further specified pursuant to the
Nederland-Krotz Buy/Sell Confirmation. Each Shipped Quantity shall be the
determined based on the reports of the Independent Inspectors or SPMT as
mutually agreed between the parties. The parties acknowledge that the net
payment terms specified in the Nederland-Krotz Buy/Sell Confirmation are
conditioned on the requirement that Shipped Quantities be transported by the
Company only to the Refinery.
(b)In connection with each Nederland-Krotz Buy/Seller Transaction, the parties
shall comply with both the nomination and scheduling procedures set forth in the
Nederland Terminaling Agreement (“Nederland Shipment Procedures”) and the
Scheduling Protocol set forth in Schedule J to the Supply and Offtake Agreement.
(c)The Company covenants and agrees that it will take such further actions, and
execute, deliver and/or file such additional agreements, instruments and
documents as Aron and its Affiliates may deem necessary or appropriate to
confirm and maintain the lien and security interest of Goldman Sachs Bank USA
(“GS Bank”) in all Shipped Quantities and all documents of title (“Title
Documents”) related thereto. If, in Aron's reasonable judgment, GS Bank does not
or would not hold a perfected first priority security interest in any quantities
that are intended to be Shipped Quantities and/or Title Documents that would be
related thereto, then such quantities shall not be released from the storage
tanks at the Nederland Terminal unless the

7

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

Company has provided to GS Bank additional credit support in form and substance
satisfactory to GS Bank with respect to such quantities that the Company desires
to ship.
(d)Without limiting the generality of Section 2.4(d) above, the Company covenant
and agrees, with respect to each Shipped Quantity, that any bill of lading
issued with respect to the further transportation by the Company of such Shipped
Quantity from the docks of the Nederland Terminal (as provided in the Nederland
Shipment Procedures) shall be a non-negotiable bill of lading and the Company
shall be the only consignee named thereon.
2.5Title.
(a)Aron shall retain title to all Supplemental Material quantities at all times
while such quantities are held in the Supplemental Pipeline or in the Nederland
Terminal in connection with the Supply and Offtake Agreement or the Big Spring
S&O Agreement (including without limitation any linefill transferred to Aron in
connection therewith), except to the extent otherwise provided under a buy/sell
transaction between Aron and Alon USA with respect to an Excess Quantity.
(b)As provided in the Nederland-Krotz Buy/Sell Confirmation, title to any
Shipped Quantity shall transfer from Aron to the Company as such quantity passes
the relevant delivery point provided therein and title to any Delivered Quantity
shall transfer from the Company to Aron as such Supplemental Quantity or portion
thereof passes the relevant delivered point as provided therein.
2.6Supplemental Annual Fee. As additional consideration for the arrangements
contemplated hereby, the Company agrees to pay to Aron an annual fee for each
twelve (12) month period during the Term, in the amount specified in the
Supplemental Fee Letter (the “Annual Supplemental Fee”), to be paid in arrears
as follows:
