ARTICLE 5

THIRD PARTY CREDITS

5.1 Third Party Credit. At the conclusion of each Month, WRT shall calculate the
“Average Daily Third Party Terminal Facility Utilization” of all Tank Types,
which shall be a fraction, (a) the numerator of which is the sum of, for each
day in such Month, the number of barrels of Product stored for third parties in
the shell capacity set forth on Schedule 4.1 for all Tank Types and (b) the
denominator of which is (x) the aggregate shell capacity set forth on
Schedule 4.1 for all Tank Types multiplied by (y) the number of days in such
Month. For each Month, the product of the Average Daily Third Party Terminal
Facility Utilization and the Minimum Product Storage Reservation Fee shall be
the “Third Party Credit”. Each Month, the total fees due to WRT for Product
storage services for all Tank Types will be reduced (but not below zero) by the
amount of such Third Party Credit.

ARTICLE 6

SURCHARGES; FEE ADJUSTMENTS

6.1 Surcharges. If WRT agrees to make capital expenditures at SPPR’s request or
if new or revised laws or regulations that affect any of the services WRT
provides to SPPR under this Agreement are enacted or promulgated that require
WRT to make material (individually or in the aggregate) capital expenditures,
WRT shall have the right to impose a monthly surcharge on the services provided
under this Agreement to cover the costs of such requested capital expenditures,
or SPPR’s share of the costs of complying with the new or revised laws or
regulations but only after WRT has made commercially reasonable efforts to
mitigate the effect of such laws or regulations. SPPR’s share of such costs will
be calculated based on the volumes of Product WRT has handled for SPPR during
the previous three (3) months compared to the total volumes of Product handled
by WRT for the same period.

6.2 Fee Adjustments. All fees set forth in this Agreement shall be adjusted on
July 1 of each year by a percentage equal to the change in the Producer Price
Index for Finished Goods, seasonally adjusted, as published by the Department of
Labor; provided, however, that no fee shall be decreased below the applicable
initial minimum fee in effect as of the Commencement Date.

28.3 If, during the Term, WRT proposes the construction or acquisition of any
new Terminal Facility or related facility that connects to any Terminal
Facility, any expansion or enhancement of capacity on any existing Terminal
Facility or any construction of new or the expansion of existing storage
capacity associated with the Terminal Facility, then:

(a) WRT shall give prior written notice of such proposal to SPPR; and

(b) SPPR will have a right of first refusal to reserve some portion or all of
the additional throughput capacity or storage capacity on commercial terms that
are equal or more favorable to WRT than any commercial terms offered to WRT by a
third-party.

ARTICLE 29

FORCE MAJEURE

29.1 As soon as possible upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure event, WRT shall
provide SPPR with written notice of the event identifying the affected Terminal
Facilities (a “Force Majeure Notice”). WRT shall also identify in such Force
Majeure Notice the approximate length of time that WRT reasonably believes in
good faith such Force Majeure shall continue (the “Force Majeure Period”). If
WRT advises in any Force Majeure Notice that it

APPROPRIATE PLACE WITH THREE ASTERISKS (***).

 

reasonably believes in good faith that the Force Majeure Period shall continue
for more than twelve (12) consecutive Months, then, subject to Article 31 below,
at any time after WRT delivers such Force Majeure Notice, either Party may
terminate that portion of this Agreement relating to the affected Terminal
Facility, but only upon delivery to the other Party of a notice (a “Termination
Notice”) at least twelve (12) Months prior to the effectiveness of such
termination; provided, however; that such Termination Notice shall be deemed
cancelled and of no effect if the Force Majeure Period ends prior to the
expiration of such twelve (12)-Month period.

29.2 If, during the pendency of a Force Majeure event, WRT is unable to meet the
Minimum Commitments set forth in this Agreement, then affected commitments
hereunder shall be proportionately reduced.

29.3 If this Agreement is terminated as to a Terminal Facility or facility under
this Article 29, then SPPR’s Minimum Commitments shall be adjusted to the
Adjusted Minimum Commitments, by deducting the applicable Stipulated Commitments
for the Terminal Facility so removed from this Agreement.

29.4 For the avoidance of doubt, neither Party may exercise its right under this
Article 29 to terminate this Agreement as a result of a Force Majeure with
respect to any Terminal Facility that has been unaffected by, or has been
restored to working order since, the applicable Force Majeure, including
pursuant to a Restoration under Article 30.

ARTICLE 30

CAPABILITIES OF FACILITIES

30.1 Interruptions of Service. WRT shall use reasonable commercial efforts to
minimize the interruption of service at each Terminal Facility and any portion
thereof. WRT shall promptly inform SPPR operational personnel of any anticipated
partial or complete interruption of service at any Terminal Facility, including
relevant information about the nature, extent, cause and expected duration of
the interruption and the actions WRT is taking to resume full operations,
provided that WRT shall not have any liability for any failure to notify, or
delay in notifying, SPPR of any such matters except to the extent SPPR has been
materially prejudiced or damaged by such failure or delay.

30.2 Maintenance and Repair Standards. Subject to Force Majeure and
interruptions for routine repair and maintenance, consistent with customary
terminal industry standards, WRT shall maintain each Terminal Facility in a
condition and with a capacity sufficient to throughput a volume of SPPR’s
Products at least equal to the respective Minimum Commitments for such Terminal
Facility. WRT’s obligations may be temporarily suspended during the occurrence
of, and for the entire duration of, a Force Majeure or other interruption of
service that prevents WRT from terminalling the Minimum Commitments hereunder.
To the extent WRT is prevented from terminalling volumes equal to the full
Minimum Commitments for reasons of Force Majeure or other interruption of
service, then SPPR’s obligation to throughput the Minimum Commitments and pay
any Shortfall Payment shall be reduced proportionately. At such time as WRT is
capable of terminalling volumes equal to the Minimum Commitments, SPPR’s
obligation to store or throughput the Minimum Commitments shall be restored. If,
for any reason, the throughput or

storage capacity of any Terminal Facility should fall below that required by
SPPR for that Terminal Facility, then within a reasonable period of time after
the commencement of such reduction, WRT shall make repairs to the Terminal
Facility to restore the Terminal Facility to the storage and throughput capacity
required by SPPR (“Restoration”). Except as provided below in Section 30.3 and
30.4, all of such Restoration shall be at WRT’s cost and expense, unless the
damage creating the need for such repairs was caused by the negligence or
willful misconduct of SPPR, its Carriers, agents, representatives or customers
or any of their respective employees.

30.3 Capacity Resolution. In the event of the failure of WRT to maintain any
Terminal Facility in a condition and with a capacity sufficient to throughput a
volume of SPPR’s Products as required by SPPR, then either Party shall have the
right to call a meeting between executives of both Parties by providing at least
two (2) Business Days’ advance written notice. Any such meeting shall be held at
a mutually agreeable location and will be attended by executives of both Parties
each having sufficient authority to commit his or her respective Party to a
Capacity Resolution (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 the affected Terminal Facility which will, among
other things, specify steps to be taken by WRT to fully accomplish Restoration
and the deadlines by which the Restoration must be completed (the “Capacity
Resolution”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Capacity
Resolution shall set forth an agreed upon time schedule for the Restoration
activities. Such time schedule shall be reasonable under the circumstances,
consistent with customary terminal industry standards and shall take into
consideration WRT’s economic considerations relating to costs of the repairs and
SPPR’s requirements concerning its refining and marketing operations. WRT shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to provide storage and
throughput of SPPR’s Products at the affected Terminal Facility, to the extent
the Terminal Facility has capability of doing so, during the period before
Restoration is completed. In the event that SPPR’s economic considerations
justify incurring additional costs to restore the Terminal Facility in a more
expedited manner than the time schedule determined in accordance with the
preceding sentence, SPPR may require WRT to expedite the Restoration to the
extent reasonably possible, subject to SPPR’s payment, in advance, of the
estimated incremental costs to be incurred as a result of the expedited time
schedule. Upon completion, SPPR shall pay the difference between the actual
portion of Restoration costs to be paid by SPPR pursuant to this Section 30.3
and the estimated amount paid under the preceding sentence within thirty
(30) days after receipt of WRT’s invoice therefor, or, if appropriate, WRT shall
pay SPPR the excess of the estimate paid by SPPR over WRT’s actual costs as
previously described within thirty (30) days after completion of the
Restoration.

30.4 SPPR’s Right To Cure. If WRT either (a) refuses or fails to meet with SPPR
within the period set forth in Section 30.3, (b) fails to agree to perform a
Capacity Resolution in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 30.3,
or (c) fails to perform its obligations in compliance with the terms of a
Capacity Resolution, SPPR may, as its sole remedy for any breach by WRT of any
of its obligations under Section 30.3, require WRT to complete a Restoration of
the affected Terminal Facility, subject to and to the extent permitted under the
terms, conditions and/or restrictions of applicable leases, permits and/or
Applicable Law. Any such Restoration required under this Section 30.4 shall be
completed by WRT at SPPR’s cost.

TERMS HAS BEEN REQUESTED. THE REDACTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, AND THE TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED AT THE

APPROPRIATE PLACE WITH THREE ASTERISKS (***).

 

WRT shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to provide storage and
throughput of SPPR’s Products at the affected Terminal Facility, during the
period while such Restoration is being completed. Any work performed by WRT
pursuant to this Section 30.4 shall be performed and completed in a good and
workmanlike manner consistent with applicable industry standards and in
accordance with all Applicable Laws, rules and/or regulations. Additionally,
SPPR may exercise any remedies available to it under this Agreement (other than
termination), including the right to immediately seek temporary and permanent
injunctive relief for specific performance by WRT of the applicable provisions
of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation to make
Restorations as described herein.

30.5 Commingled Storage. All storage and throughput of SPPR’s volumes shall be
on a fungible commingled basis, and WRT may commingle such volumes with products
of like grade and kind. All tank heels shall be allocated among all storage
users on a pro rata basis. WRT shall have the right to enter into arrangements
with third parties to throughput and store volumes at each Terminal Facility,
provided however, that WRT shall not enter into any third-party arrangements
that would restrict or limit the ability of SPPR to throughput or store the
Minimum Product Throughput Commitment or Minimum Product Storage Commitment at
each Terminal Facility each Month without proration or allocation, on reasonable
schedules consistent with SPPR’s requirements, and to receive the services
provided herein.

30.6 Dedicated Storage. In the event that the Parties determine to use dedicated
storage tanks during the Term of this Agreement, such storage tanks and
capacities shall be dedicated and used exclusively for the storage and
throughput of SPPR’s Product. For those dedicated tanks, SPPR shall be
responsible for providing all tank heels required for operation of such tanks.

ARTICLE 31

TERMINATION

31.1 Termination for Default. A Party shall be in default under this Agreement
if:

(a) the Party materially breaches any provision of this Agreement and such
breach is not cured within twenty (20) Business Days after notice thereof (which
notice shall describe such breach in reasonable detail) is received by such
Party; or

(b) the Party (i) files a petition or otherwise commences, authorizes or
acquiesces in the commencement of a proceeding or cause of action under any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar Applicable Law, or has any
such petition filed or commenced against it which is not withdrawn or dismissed
within thirty (30) days, (ii) makes an assignment or any general arrangement for
the benefit of creditors, (iii) otherwise becomes bankrupt or insolvent (however
evidenced) or (iv) has a liquidator, administrator, receiver, trustee,
conservator or similar official appointed with respect to it or any substantial
portion of its property or assets which is not withdrawn or dismissed within
thirty (30) days.

(c) If any of the Parties is in default as described above, then the
non-defaulting Party may: (i) terminate this Agreement upon notice to the
defaulting Parties; (ii) withhold any payments due to the defaulting Parties
under this Agreement; and/or (iii) pursue any other remedy at law or in equity.

31.2 SPPR shall, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, promptly
remove all of its Products including any downgraded and interface Product from
the Terminal Facilities within thirty (30) days of such termination or
expiration to the extent such removal is possible within this time frame. In the
event all of the Product is not removed within such thirty (30) day period, SPPR
shall be assessed storage fees to all products held in storage more than thirty
(30) days beyond the termination or expiration of this Agreement until such time
SPPR’s entire Product is removed from the Terminal Facilities.

31.3 SPPR shall, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, promptly
remove any and all of its owned equipment not purchased by WRT pursuant to
Article 19 above, and restore the Terminal Facilities to their condition prior
to the installation of such equipment.

ARTICLE 32

ASSIGNMENT; PARTNERSHIP CHANGE OF CONTROL

32.1 SPPR shall not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without
WRT’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed; provided, however; that SPPR may assign this Agreement,
without WRT’s consent, (a) to an Affiliate of SPPR; provided such assignment
shall not relieve SPPR of its obligations under this Agreement and (b) in
connection with a sale by SPPR of the Refinery so long as the transferee:
(i) agrees to assume all of SPPR’s obligations under this Agreement; and (ii) is
financially and operationally capable of fulfilling the terms of this Agreement,
which determination shall be made by WRT in its reasonable judgment.

32.2 WRT shall not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement
without SPPR’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that (a) WRT may assign
this Agreement, without SPPR’s consent, (i) to an Affiliate of WRT; provided
such assignment shall not relieve WRT of its obligations under this Agreement
and (ii) in connection with a sale by WRT of one or more of its Terminal
Facilities so long as the transferee: (A) agrees to assume all of WRT’s
obligations under this Agreement with respect to the associated Terminal
Facility; (B) is financially and operationally capable of fulfilling the terms
of this Agreement, which determination shall be made by SPPR in its reasonable
judgment; and (C) is not a competitor of SPPR; and (iii) WRT shall be permitted

an Affiliate), then:

(a) the Minimum Commitments with respect to such Terminal Facility shall be
converted to the Adjusted Minimum Commitments, excluding such transferred
Terminal Facility; and,

Partnership Change of Control, provided however, that in the case of a
Partnership Change of Control, SPPR shall have the unilateral option,
exercisable within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from WRT of such
Partnership Change of Control, to extend the Term of this Agreement for a period
not to exceed the remaining term of the Agreement as of such Partnership Change
of Control, taking in account any remaining Extension Periods, as long as such

only by a written instrument executed by the Parties. Any of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement may be waived in writing at any time by the Party
entitled to the benefits thereof. No waiver of any of the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, or any breach thereof, will be effective unless in writing
signed by a duly authorized individual on behalf of the Party against which the
waiver is sought to be enforced. No waiver of any term or condition or of any
breach of this Agreement will be deemed or will constitute a waiver of any other
term or condition or of any later breach (whether or not similar), nor will such
waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

35.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Schedules, constitutes
the entire agreement among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the Parties in
connection therewith.

35.3 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws
of the State of Texas without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles.
In the event any dispute between the Parties is not resolved by arbitration as

irrevocably waive any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the
laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to

inconvenient forum and further irrevocably waive the right to object, with
respect to such claim, action, suit or proceeding brought in any such Court,
that such Court does not have jurisdiction over such Party. The Parties hereby
irrevocably consent to the service of process by registered mail, postage
prepaid, or by personal service within or without the State of Texas. Nothing

35.5 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be
interpreted in such manner as to be valid and effective under Applicable Law,
but if any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision
to any person or circumstance will be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in

unenforceability will not affect any other provision hereof, and the Parties
will negotiate in good faith with a view to substitute for such provision a
suitable and equitable solution in order to carry out, so far as may be valid
and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision.

35.6 No Third Party Beneficiaries. It is expressly understood that the
provisions of this Agreement do not impart enforceable rights in anyone who is
not a Party or successor or permitted assignee of a Party.

35.7 ARBITRATION. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT TO THE EXTENT ANY DISPUTE DOES NOT
