 (b) SUBURBAN AGREES TO AND DOES FULLY INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS PLAINS AND
ITS PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES AND ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AGENTS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, LOSSES, DAMAGES, DEMANDS, CLAIMS, PENALTIES, FINES,
ACTIONS, SUITS, JUDGMENTS, ORDERS, DIRECTIVES, INJUNCTIONS, DECREES OR AWARDS OF ANY JURISDICTION, REASONABLE COSTS AND REASONABLE EXPENSES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY MANNER RELATED TO
SUBURBAN DELIVERING OR CAUSING TO BE DELIVERED INTO PLAINS’ FACILITIES ANY OFFSPEC PROPANE. 
 5. Product Delivery and
Redelivery. 
 (a) Propane redelivered to Suburban out of the Facilities will only be made on the request of
Suburban’s designated representative or duly authorized agent whose identity and contact information has been provided to Plains in writing. Plains will not recognize sales, assignments or transfers of title to propane while in storage unless
made in a manner approved by Plains in advance, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and then only to another person or entity that has entered into a valid storage agreement with Plains. Propane redelivered by Plains
hereunder shall be redelivered into any common carrier pipeline currently connected to Plains’ Facilities or tank trucks. Plains’ receipt and delivery of propane from and to Suburban shall be subject to normal operating conditions and
procedures, scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, rates of delivery, delivery pressures, scheduling, etc. of the Facilities and of the delivering and receiving pipeline (the “Pipeline”). Custody of the propane delivered or redelivered
hereunder shall be deemed to be transferred at the pipeline connection of the Pipeline, or the loading flange if loaded into tank trucks. Plains, in its sole discretion, shall not be required to receive or deliver propane in excess of the physical
capabilities of the Facilities, after considering all customers’ scheduled receipts or shipments. Measurement of propane delivered or redelivered hereunder shall take place as near to the points of delivery or redelivery as practicable and
shall be made by Plains or its designee in accordance with Plains’ or its designee’s standard measurement procedures, which shall conform to good measurement practices in the industry. Suburban shall have the right to witness all such
measurements. Tank trucks will be handled on a first in first out basis on the five existing truck spots located at the Facilities. All tank trucks shall be suitable for loading and unloading at Plains’ Facilities and shall be certified as such
by Suburban as provided in Section 7 hereinafter. 
 (b) Injections made via Pipeline
shall be tendered to Pipeline by the 15th of the Month
preceding the Month of injection. Pipeline injections are subject to the limitations set forth below and to the same schedule as the delivering Pipeline. 

  
 4 








 (c) The maximum volume of propane which Plains can inject, or cause to be
injected into storage in any one Month is dependent in part on the provisions herein, including normal operating conditions and procedures at a particular time. Plains will exercise its best efforts to inject, or cause to be injected in any one
Month as much of Suburban’s storage deliveries for that Month as have been properly noticed to Plains and as operating conditions will permit. 
 (d) Plains shall be obligated to receive propane for injection into storage for Suburban’s account in accordance with the above procedures only when Suburban’s storage balance will be less than
or equal to the Lease Volume after the tendered quantity has been injected. 
 (e) Withdrawals of propane by
Suburban shall be by truck or Pipeline. Suburban’s withdrawals shall be limited to all the propane received by Plains, less a Loss Allowance designated in Section 9 and any other losses that may have occurred solely as a result of Force
Majeure or Suburban’s or its agents’ negligence or willful misconduct. 
 (f) Any quantity of propane
withdrawn by Suburban in excess of Suburban’s propane storage balance shall be considered as an unauthorized withdrawal of propane. Suburban shall have five (5) Days from date of the notice of the unauthorized withdrawal to re-stock the
excess amount withdrawn. Should Suburban fail to re-stock, Suburban agrees to pay and Plains shall bill, as Plains’ sole and exclusive remedy, for all unauthorized volumes of Propane withdrawn at a rate equal to the then current market
replacement cost. Current market replacement cost will be calculated using the Monthly average posted price at Hattiesburg, Mississippi as published in OPIS plus all applicable charges to transport the Propane by pipeline from Hattiesburg,
Mississippi to the Facilities. The payment of a penalty for an unauthorized quantity withdrawn shall not under any circumstances be considered as giving Suburban the right to take unauthorized volumes of propane. When Plains determines that Suburban
has withdrawn unauthorized volumes, Suburban shall be prevented from further withdrawals. Assuming Suburban has physical volumes in place, withdrawal privileges will be reinstated only after Suburban re-stocks the excess withdrawal or has paid for
the excess withdrawal. 
 (g) Subject to other provisions herein, including the normal operating conditions and
procedures in place at the Facilities, Plains shall exercise its best efforts to withdraw and deliver on any one Day the total of Suburban’s requests for such Day. If, however, all of the withdrawal requests received by Plains from all
customers for a single Day exceed the total volume which Plains can withdraw from storage and deliver, the Propane deliverable on each Day shall be pro-rated. Proration of withdrawals down the Pipeline and proration of withdrawals by tank truck
shall be handled as two separate allocations. Proration shall be determined based on Daily activity. Proration shall be based on Suburban’s throughput during the previous twelve (12) Months as a percentage of the total throughput. This
percentage shall then be applied to the total Daily output capacity of the tank trucks 

  
 5 








 
withdrawal facility or the Pipeline withdrawal facility as the case may be. If practical, Suburban will be notified of proration at least 24 hours in advance by facsimile or phone. 

(h) The parties shall fully cooperate regarding the communication of nominations and shall use all reasonable efforts to
share any additional information that would be relevant to ensure that propane movements are consistent therewith. 
 6. Non
Compete and Storage Balance. Suburban agrees to refrain from subleasing its Lease Volume and to maintain a storage balance equal to or greater than zero gallons at all times. The Non-Competition Agreement between Plains and Suburban dated
September 17, 2007 (“Non-Compete Agreement”) shall not be affected by this Agreement and the Non-Compete Agreement and its provisions shall continue in effect between the parties according to its terms. For purposes of this section,
pre-buy accounts shall not be considered a sublease. 
 7. Transportation Equipment. If Suburban delivers propane to or
from the Facilities using Suburban’s equipment or employees, Suburban will be subject to the Terminal Access Agreement executed by the parties substantially in the form of Exhibit “B,” or as subsequently mutually agreed to by the
parties. If Suburban’s deliveries of propane to or from the Facilities are contracted and/or made by a common carrier, Suburban shall require the common carrier to sign the Terminal Access Agreement in Exhibit “B”. 

8. Stenching. 
 (a) Plains will odorize or cause to be odorized all shipments of propane out of storage by tank car or truck in accordance with standard industry practice or as required by governmental agencies having
proper jurisdiction, but in no event less than 1.5 pounds ethyl mercaptan per 10,000 Gallons. 
 (b) Suburban
acknowledges and represents that it is knowledgeable about the chemical and physical properties and limitations associated with the storage, use, and handling of odorant and propane, whether odorized or unodorized. Suburban further acknowledges that
odorant can fade over a period of time or fade if subjected to certain metal or conditions of metal and may therefore be undetectable. Suburban agrees that it shall keep abreast of safety, consumer, industry, education and such similar issues
regarding propane and the propane industry. 
 (c) Suburban, its consignee, agents, servants, employees or
representative shall not take any propane that prior to withdrawal it discovers is not odorized unless specifically authorized to do so by Plains in writing. Suburban represents and warrants that it has provided its consignees such information and
warnings as it believes necessary for proper and safe use of its propane. 
 (d) Suburban hereby acknowledges
that it may have a duty to inform its customers about safety issues surrounding the use of propane and that Plains has no 

  
 6 








 
means of controlling the propane or its uses after the physical possession of the propane has passed to Suburban. Therefore, Suburban agrees that it shall provide adequate safety information and
warnings about the safe handling and usage of propane (including, without limitation, the limitations of propane odorants) to Suburban employees, agents, contractors and customers, and will require those persons to further communicate that
information and those warnings to all persons that they may reasonably foresee will be exposed to, handle or consume propane. 
 (e) WHERE PLAINS OR ITS DESIGNEE PROVIDES DOCUMENTATION OF THE PROPER ODORIZATION OF THE PROPANE AS REQUIRED BY THIS AGREEMENT, SUBURBAN ACCEPTS ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DISSIPATION OF MALODORANT
SUBSEQUENT TO SHIPMENT, AND SUBURBAN AGREES TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD PLAINS AND ITS PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES AND ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AGENTS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS HARMLESS FROM
ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, LOSSES, DAMAGES, DEMANDS, CLAIMS, PENALTIES, FINES, ACTIONS, SUITS, JUDGMENTS, ORDERS, DIRECTIVES, INJUNCTIONS, DECREES OR AWARDS OF ANY JURISDICTION, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEES AND ANY
REASONABLE EXPENSE OF INCIDENT INVESTIGATION) ARISING FROM ANY CLAIMS OF WHATEVER KIND DUE TO INJURIES OR DAMAGES WHICH OCCUR AFTER DELIVERY TO SUBURBAN AND ARISE IN CONNECTION WITH SUBURBAN’S OR ITS CUSTOMER’S TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE,
USE, HANDLING, OR RESALE OF PROPANE COVERED HEREUNDER. THIS INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION INCLUDES, AMONG ANY OTHER CLAIMS, THOSE COMPRISING LACK OF OR INADEQUATE WARNING MATERIALS, “ODORANT FADING,” LACK OF INFORMATION ON THE AVAILABILITY OF
SUPPLEMENTAL WARNING SYSTEMS (SUCH AS GAS DETECTORS) AND IMPROPER TRAINING OR MONITORING OF SUBURBAN’S WARNING AND/OR TRAINING PROGRAMS. SUBURBAN’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATION SHALL NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OR WILFUL
MISCONDUCT OF PLAINS OR ITS DESIGNEE. 
 9. Loss Allowance. Due to normal operating losses which occur in receiving
propane for storage, storing such propane and redelivering propane out of storage, Suburban’s Loss Allowance shall equal the percent of the propane delivered to Plains hereunder as is specified in Exhibit “A”. 

10. Transportation Costs To and From Storage. All transportation charges and other expenses incurred in connection with
(i) Suburban’s delivery of propane to the Facilities for storage and (ii) Suburban’s receipt of propane from storage shall be paid by Suburban directly to such transporter. Suburban shall pay all applicable published pipeline
tariffs: 
 (a) directly to the transporter if Suburban ships propane to the Facilities on its own behalf; or

 (b) to Plains if Plains’ ships Suburban’s propane to the Facilities on Suburban’s behalf.

 11. Storage and Handling Charges 

(a) The Annual Storage Fee for the Initial Term (based on the Lease Volume for the Initial Term) shall be pro-rated to
take into account that such term is less than 12 months, and shall be payable by Suburban within 10 Days after Suburban’s receipt of Plains’ invoice therefor. During the Secondary Term, Suburban agrees to pay the annual payment for the
Annual Storage Fee on or before the first Day of each annual lease period during the Secondary Term, based on the Lease Volume for that annual lease period. Should Suburban fail to pay any amount due to Plains when due, Plains may, without notice,
suspend all withdrawals of Suburban’s propane. Interest on any outstanding Annual Storage Fee payment will accrue as set forth in Section 12. 
 (b) Suburban shall also pay Plains Monthly the other rates, fees and charges set forth in Exhibit “A”. 
 (c) If at the end of any Month the total volume of all propane stored by Suburban exceeds the Lease Volume, Suburban shall pay to Plains the Excess Storage Fee as set forth in Exhibit “A”.

 (d) If at the expiration or termination of this Agreement Suburban continues to have propane in storage (which
the parties expressly do not contemplate and Plains in no way condones) which was delivered into storage under the terms of this Agreement, then Suburban shall pay to Plains the Excess Storage Fee as set forth in Exhibit “A” each Month
thereafter based on the highest balance of all propane held in storage at any time during such Month. Plains’ acceptance of funds pursuant to this Section shall (i) in no way be construed as a renewal of this Agreement, provided, however,
Suburban shall continue to be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement as long as any of Suburban’s propane remains in storage or (ii) in no way effect Plains’ rights to sell Suburban’s propane as provided for in
Section 3 above. 
 (e) Nothing in this Section 11 shall be construed to create an obligation on Plains
to accept propane into storage in excess of the Lease Volume. At any time there is an unauthorized excess balance, Plains may, by telephone notice to Suburban, require Suburban to remove such excess balance within three Business Days and if any
excess balance remains at the end of such period, then Suburban shall reimburse Plains for any costs or liabilities (including reasonable legal expenses) incurred by Plains as a result thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after ten (10) days
notice, Plains may dispose of the excess volume not removed pursuant to the preceding sentence by any method or means within its discretion and credit Suburban’s account with the current market replacement cost (calculated per Section 5(f)
above) of the propane disposed of, less 1) Plains costs and fees (including reasonable legal expenses) incurred in the disposal, and 2) any fees or expenses then due and owing by Suburban to Plains. 

  
 8 








 (f) All shipments of propane for Suburban’s account shall be reported
in gallons corrected for temperature and pressure. Upon injection of propane via pipeline, railcar or truck, Plains shall prepare a Notification of Receipt showing the data necessary for the identification of the incoming shipment. The Notification
of Receipt will include Suburban’s name, date of receipt, mode of shipment and quantity of propane received for storage. 
 (g) At Suburban’s request, Plains shall prepare a Notification of Delivery showing the data necessary for the identification of the delivery shipment. The Notification of Delivery will include
Suburban’s name, date of delivery, mode of delivery, and quantity of propane delivered. Plains shall utilize the “Terminal Management System” (“TMS”), otherwise known as TOPTECH, or similar system, to make account
transaction information available to Suburban. Suburban may request information in a reasonable manner. 
 (h)
Each week, Plains shall furnish a transaction summary statement indicating Suburban’s balance for the preceding week. A copy of the bills of lading and Notifications of Receipt and Notifications of Delivery shall accompany this transaction
summary. The bills of lading, Notices of Receipt and Notices of Delivery shall be used to determine Suburban’s storage balance. 
 12. Invoicing and Payments. Each Month during the term of this Agreement, Plains shall invoice Suburban for all amounts owed by Suburban to Plains hereunder and Suburban shall pay to Plains the
amounts due no later than ten (10) Days after Suburban’s receipt of invoice. If the Day on which any payment is due is not a Business Day, then the relevant payment shall be due upon the immediately succeeding Business Day. Any undisputed
amounts which remain due and owing after the due date shall bear interest thereon at a per annum rate of interest equal to the lower of the “Prime Rate” of interest as quoted from time to time by the Wall Street Journal or its successor,
or the maximum lawful rate of interest (the “Base Rate”). If a good faith dispute arises as to the amount payable in any statement, the amount not in dispute shall be paid. If Suburban elects to withhold any payment otherwise due as
a consequence of a good faith dispute, Suburban shall provide Plains with written notice of its reasons for withholding payment. The parties hereto agree to use all reasonable efforts to resolve any such disputes in a timely manner. 

13. Title to Stored Product. It is understood and agreed that (i) title to the propane stored hereunder shall remain in
Suburban, subject to being commingled with like propane belonging to Plains and/or other parties, which Suburban hereby grants unto Plains the right to do so, ii) propane redelivered to Suburban by Plains may not be the identical propane delivered
by Suburban into Plains’ Facilities, but shall be considered as fungible goods meeting the same quality specifications and (iii) the fees or charges provided herein do not include any insurance on the propane while in the custody of
Plains, which insurance shall be the responsibility of Suburban. In the event there should be any loss of Suburban’s propane (other than normal operating losses as provided for in Section 9) from Plains’ Facilities, then, subject to
Section 15 below, Plains shall, in its sole discretion, either replace Suburban’s lost volumes with like propane or pay Suburban the current market replacement cost (calculated per Section 5(f) above) of such lost propane at the time
of the loss. Replacement or payment shall be made within fifteen (15) Business Days. 

  
 9 








 14. Taxes. Suburban shall be responsible for the payment of any and all ad valorem or
other taxes or assessments levied or assessed on and attributable to Suburban’s propane in storage pursuant to this Agreement, provided however, that Plains shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such taxes on behalf of Suburban
(but at a like rate no greater than that paid by Plains on its own like propane in storage) and Suburban agrees to reimburse Plains for any such taxes paid by Plains within ten (10) Days from the date of Plains’ invoice therefor.

 15. Limitation of Liability. 
 (a) Plains shall not be liable to Suburban for any loss of or injury to the propane stored by Suburban, however caused, unless such loss or injury results from the failure of Plains or its designee to
exercise that degree of care as would be exercised by a reasonably careful Person under like circumstances. Plains is not liable for damages that could not have been avoided solely by the exercise of such care. 

(b) SUBURBAN AGREES TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD PLAINS AND ITS AFFILIATES AND ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AGENTS, OFFICERS,
DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS TO THE EXTENT SUCH CLAIMS ARISE AS A RESULT OF SUBURBAN’S TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE, USE, OR HANDLING OF PROPANE AFTER DELIVERY OF CUSTODY,
POSSESSION AND CONTROL OF SUCH PRODUCT TO SUBURBAN. 
 (c) EXCEPT FOR AND WITHOUT REGARD TO DAMAGES THAT MAY BE
AWARDED TO A THIRD PARTY (SOLELY AS A RESULT OF CONTAMINATION) AGAINST A PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING DAMAGES WHICH ARISE IN RESPECT OF ANY INDEMNIFICATION), A PARTY’S LIABILITY FOR A BREACH OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE
LIMITED TO DIRECT ACTUAL DAMAGES ONLY, EXCLUDING LOST PROFITS, AND SUCH DIRECT ACTUAL DAMAGES SHALL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY HEREUNDER, AND ALL OTHER REMEDIES OR DAMAGES ARE WAIVED. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY
UNDER ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE. 
 16. Filing of Suit. No action may be maintained by Suburban and any other persons claiming by, through or under Suburban, against Plains for loss of or injury to propane stored in Plains’
Facilities unless such action is commenced within twenty-four (24) Months after (a) Suburban’s propane is redelivered or removed from Plains’ Facilities or (b) Suburban is notified by Plains that loss of or injury to propane
has occurred, whichever is shorter. In the situation where Plains notifies Suburban of a loss or, injury to propane, the time limits for the maintaining of actions after notice, as set forth herein, begin on the date such notice is received by
Suburban. 

  
 10 









 17. Force Majeure and Destruction of Facility. 

(a) In the event either party is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by Force Majeure to carry out its obligations under
this Agreement, it is agreed that upon the affected party’s giving prompt written notice and reasonably full particulars of such Force Majeure in writing to the other party, then the obligations of the party giving such notice, so far as and to
the extent that the obligations of the affected party are adversely impacted by such Force Majeure, shall be suspended during the continuance of any inability so caused, but for no longer period, and such cause shall so far as possible be remedied
with all reasonable dispatch. The term “Force Majeure” as used herein shall mean acts of God, strikes, lockouts, or other industrial disturbances, acts of the public enemy, acts of terrorism, wars, blockades, insurrections, riots,
epidemics, landslides, lightning, earthquakes, fires, tornadoes, hurricanes, or storms, tornado, hurricane, or storm warnings which in any party’s reasonable judgment require the precautionary shutdown of a facility, floods, washouts, arrests
or restraints of the government, either federal or state, civil or military, civil disturbances, explosions, sabotage, breakage, or accident to equipment, machinery or lines of pipe, freezing of machinery, equipment or lines of pipe, electric power
shortages, inability of any party to obtain necessary permits and/or permissions due to existing or future rules, orders, laws or governmental authorities (both federal, state and local), or any other causes, whether of the kind herein enumerated or
otherwise, which are not within the control of the party claiming suspension and which such party is unable to overcome by the exercise of due diligence. It is understood and agreed that the settlement of strikes or lockouts shall be entirely within
the discretion of the party having the difficulty, and that the above requirement that any Force Majeure shall be remedied with all reasonable dispatch shall not require the settlement of strikes or lockouts by acceding to the demands of opposing
Parties when such course is inadvisable in the discretion of the party having difficulty. The obligation to pay money due shall only be suspended pursuant to this Section 17 if the party having such obligation has been directly and adversely
impacted by such Force Majeure event. 
 (b) If during the Term, a federal, state or local government entity
prohibits operation of the Facilities, or in any way deprive Plains of the right to use the Facilities, including any act of eminent domain, then Plains shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days notice. In the event
of any such termination, the provisions of the second sentence of Section 3 above shall apply. 
 (c)
Notwithstanding anything herein, Plains shall not be required to rebuild the Facilities or repair the Facilities if it would not be commercially reasonable to do so in Plains’ sole discretion. 

  
 11 









 18. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Suburban shall not assign or sublet this Agreement in whole or in part without the express written consent of Plains, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that Plains shall have the right to assign this Agreement to any of its Affiliates, and to any future owner or owners of the Facilities upon prior written notice to Suburban but
without the necessity of obtaining from Suburban any consent thereto. Further provided, however, that Suburban shall have the right to assign this Agreement to any of its Affiliates or to the successor to Suburban’s assets or business upon
prior written notice to Plains but without the necessity of obtaining from Plains any consent thereto, but any such assignment shall in no way relieve or release Suburban from any obligations hereunder accrued before any such assignment. 

19. No Commissions, Fees or Rebates. No director, employee or agent of either party shall give or receive any commission, fee,
rebate, gift or entertainment of significant cost or value in connection with this Agreement. Any representative or representative(s) authorized by either party may audit the applicable records of the other party for the purpose of determining
whether there has been compliance with this Section. 
 20. Severability. This Agreement and the transactions hereunder
shall be subject to applicable federal and state laws and applicable orders, laws, local ordinances, rules, and regulations of any local, state or federal authority having jurisdiction, but nothing contained herein shall be construed as a waiver of
any right to question or contest any such order, laws, rules, or regulations in any forum having jurisdiction in the premises. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under the present or future laws
effective during the term of this Agreement, (i) such provision will be fully severable, (ii) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this
Agreement, and (iii) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement. Furthermore, in lieu of
such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and as may be legal, valid, and
enforceable. If a provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the foregoing event shall not affect the validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other provision of this Agreement nor
the validity or enforceability in other jurisdictions of that or any other provision of this Agreement. 
 21. Governing
Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic Laws of the State of South Carolina without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of South Carolina or any
other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of South Carolina. The parties agree that any Action pertaining to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or to enforce any
rights given to a Party in this Agreement, shall only be brought in the state courts of the State of South Carolina or in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina (if, and only to the extent,


  
 12 









 
otherwise permitted by Law) sitting in Columbia, South Carolina, and the Parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts (if, and only to the extent, otherwise permitted by
Law). 
 22. Compliance with Laws. The parties agree to comply in all material respects with all applicable laws,
ordinances and regulations, from whatever authority they may emanate, including, but not limited to, Environmental Protection Agency Regulations. 
 23. Entire Agreement; Waiver. This Agreement, including, without limitation, all exhibits hereto, integrates the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter covered
and supersedes all prior understandings, drafts, discussions, or statements, whether oral or in writing, expressed or implied, dealing with the same subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner except by a written
document signed by an officer of both parties. No waiver by either party hereto of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver
constitute a continuing waiver unless expressly provided. No waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the party to be charged with such waiver. 

24. Default and Termination. If either party shall fail to materially perform any of the covenants or
obligations imposed upon it under and by virtue of this Agreement, then in such event, the other party may, at its option, terminate the Agreement by proceeding as follows: The party not in material default shall cause a written notice to be served
on the party in default, stating specifically the cause for terminating the Agreement and declaring it to be the intention of the party giving the notice to terminate the same; thereupon, the party in material default shall have thirty
(30) days after the service of the aforesaid notice in which to cure, remedy and remove said cause or causes, in which case such notice shall be withdrawn and the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. In case the party in material
default does not so cure, remedy and remove the breach within said period of thirty (30) days, then the Agreement shall be deemed terminated from and after the expiration of said period. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to the
provisions of this Article shall not be exclusive and shall be without prejudice to the right of the party not in default to collect any amounts then due it and without waiver of any other remedy (at law or equity) to which the party not in default
may be entitled for violation of the Agreement. Plains shall have the authority to dispose of Suburban’s propane in storage as of the sixth (6th) Business Day following the effective date of such termination at the then current market price and to remit to
Suburban the proceeds of sale, less 1) expenses of such sale and 2) any fees then owing by Suburban to Plains. Plains may at its discretion purchase such propane for its own account at the then current market price.

non-performing, or breaching or non-breaching, shall be entitled to Set-off (disregarding whether a party breached first or defaulted first) in connection with any payment or in the performance of any obligations under or in connection with this
Agreement or termination of this Agreement.
