DKL shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Delek Indemnitees from and against any and all Liabilities arising from DKL’s use of a third party motor carrier to provide services hereunder, except to the extent that such Liabilities were caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Delek Indemnitees or any of their respective employees, representatives, agents or contractors.

The Fuel Surcharge shall be a percentage of the Rates charged to perform the Transportation Services during such Month and such percentage shall be determined off the then current Gulf Coast Diesel Price, all as provided on Exhibit A.  
(e)    Revenue.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, within forty-five (45) days of the completion of any Contract Year, DKL shall provide Delek a written statement of (A) the total amount of Revenue earned by DKL for the performance of the Transportation Services under this Agreement over the preceding Contract Year for Delek less the Fuel Surcharge paid by Delek over such Contract Year, plus (B) the total amount of Revenue earned by DKL for the performance of Third Party Transportation Services over the preceding Contract Year less the Third Party Fuel Surcharge over such Contract Year (the “Adjusted Revenue”).  If the Adjusted Revenue is less than $[***] (the “Minimum Revenue Commitment”), then a deficiency payment shall be due to DKL by Delek equal to the following:
(i)    If the Adjusted Revenue is less than the Minimum Revenue Commitment but greater than or equal to $[***] (the “Threshold Revenue Amount”), then Delek shall pay to DKL [***] percent ([***]%) of the difference between: the Minimum Revenue Commitment minus the Adjusted Revenue; or
(ii)    If the Adjusted Revenue is less than the Threshold Revenue Amount, then Delek shall pay to DKL: (A) [***] percent ([***]%) of the difference between: the Minimum Revenue Commitment minus the Threshold Revenue Amount plus (B) the difference between: the Threshold Revenue Amount minus the Adjusted Revenue (with either (i) or (ii) as applicable being the “Deficiency Payment”).
(iii)    For purposes of the calculations in Section 3(e)(i) and Section 3(e)(ii) for the Initial Contract Year, the Minimum Revenue Commitment shall be $[***] and the Threshold Revenue Amount shall be $[***].
(f)    Adjustments to Minimum Revenue Commitment. Subject to Section 7, the Minimum Revenue Commitment is subject to the adjustments set forth below:
(i)    If, for any reason, including Force Majeure where DKL is the Force Majeure Party and scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, DKL is unable to, refuses to or fails to provide or cause to be provided any Transportation Services that are requested by Delek for 













any day in a Contract Year, then, for such Contract Year, the Minimum Revenue Commitment shall be decreased by the Daily Reduction Amount for each day that DKL is prevented from providing or fails to provide any such Transportation Services to Delek; provided that if both (A) DKL is unable to, refuses to or fails to provide or cause to be provided a portion of such Transportation Services requested by Delek for any day in a Contract Year and (B) Delek pays a third party to provide such Transportation Service (“Third Party Payment”), then such Third Party Payment less the fuel and lubricants expense included in such payment (which, unless documented otherwise, shall be equal to the Fuel Surcharge for the applicable Transportation Service on Exhibit A) will be treated as though it had been paid to DKL for purposes of calculating the Deficiency Payment for such Contract Year.
(ii)    If a Force Majeure event affects the El Dorado Refinery or Tyler Refinery, such that Delek does not require any Transportation Services for the El Dorado Refinery or Tyler Refinery, as the case may be, for a period of time, then (a) for the Contract Year in which the Force Majeure event occurs, the Minimum Revenue Commitment shall be decreased by the Daily Reduction Amount for each day of such Force Majeure event and (b) the Term of this Agreement shall be extended by the number of days of such Force Majeure event.  
(iii)    With respect to each of the El Dorado Refinery and the Tyler Refinery, once in every five year period, the first period to begin on May 1, 2020, Delek shall have the right to conduct turnaround operations or other scheduled maintenance (a “Turnaround Period”).  Upon written notice to DKL of a Turnaround Period, (a) the Minimum Revenue Commitment for the Contract Year in which the Turnaround Period occurs shall be decreased by the Daily Reduction Amount for each day of such Turnaround Period and (b) the Term of this Agreement shall be extended by the number of days of such Turnaround Period; provided, however, any decrease in the Daily Reduction Amount during a Turnaround Period shall be for no longer than 30 days.
(iv)    Notwithstanding Sections 3(f)(i), (ii) or (iii), if DKL provides any Transportation Services for Delek for any day for which the Minimum Revenue Commitment is being decreased pursuant to Sections 3(f)(i), (ii) or (iii), then the amount of Adjusted Revenue earned by DKL for the performance of such Transportation Services for such day shall be disregarded for purposes of the calculation of whether the Minimum Revenue Commitment has been met.
(v)    For the avoidance of doubt, if the Minimum Revenue Commitment is reduced pursuant to Sections 3(f)(i), (ii) or (iii) above for any Contract Year, the Minimum Revenue Commitment shall return to $[***] (as adjusted pursuant to Section 3(h)) at the beginning of the following Contract Year, as may be subsequently adjusted pursuant to Sections 3(f)(i), (ii) or (iii) above. 
(g)    Invoicing and Timing of Payments. Except as provided in Section 3(e), DKL shall invoice Delek monthly for the Rates and Fuel Surcharge.

Payment of any non-disputed amounts due pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by DKL.  If any

The quality and quantity of the Products received by DKL shall be determined by sampling, verification and measurement conducted by DKL or a third party operator of a Receipt Point or Delivery Point.  DKL shall not mix different grades of Products, unless authorized by Delek, or adulterate the Products with any chemical or other material, unless authorized by Delek.  The Product hauled on a transport truck prior to loading a new delivery must be compatible with the Product that is being loaded so as to not cause contamination of loaded Product.

DKL agrees to abide by the quality control procedures mutually agreed to by the Parties from time to time.













(d)    Delivery: Promptly upon receipt of Products from any designated Receipt Point, DKL shall safely and expeditiously transport such Products to the specified Delivery Point.

DKL will provide Delek with a secure electronic data feed, which shall accurately report all the above information and other information mutually agreed upon by the Parties on a current daily basis.  DKL shall maintain such records for a period not less than two (2) years after performance of the Transportation Services hereunder pursuant to its corporate retention policy.  Delek, or its representatives, may, from time to time, at Delek’s expense, audit any such records, and DKL agrees to permit Delek, or its representative, access to examine and audit such records at all reasonable times during normal business hours.  DKL shall promptly refund to Delek any amounts paid by Delek in excess of amounts properly payable under the terms of the Agreement.
(f)    Volume Losses: DKL shall have no obligation to measure volume gains and losses and shall have no liability whatsoever for physical losses incurred in the normal course of operations that may result from the handling and transporting of Products through trucks that DKL uses to perform Transportation Services, except to the extent such losses are caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement by DKL, its agents, employees, third party motor carriers, or contractors.

 (b)    DKL agrees that its agents and employees will comply with all safety or other regulations of the owner or operator of a Facility that are actually known to DKL or posted when such agents or employees are on the premises of such Facility in connection with the performance of this Agreement.


Section 7.    Force Majeure.
(a)    Subject to the provisions of Section 7(b) and Section 7(c), if and to the extent that, during the Term, any Party is prevented or delayed, in whole or in part, by an event of Force Majeure from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement (the “Force Majeure Party”), then such obligation shall be suspended, and the performance thereof excused, for so long as such event of Force Majeure continues and any additional period when such Party remains unable to perform such obligations as a result of such event of Force Majeure.
(b)    When seeking to rely on the provisions of this Section 7, a Party shall promptly:

(ii)    keep the other Party reasonably apprised of the reasonably expected date by which such event of Force Majeure is likely to be remedied and resolved. 
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 7:
(i)    lack of finances shall not be considered an event of Force Majeure; 
(ii)    Delek shall not be entitled to claim any event of Force Majeure (or exercise any rights in connection therewith under this Agreement) unless such event of Force Majeure results in the permanent or indefinite suspension of operations at the El Dorado Refinery or the Tyler Refinery;
(iii)    no event of Force Majeure shall suspend or excuse the performance of any obligation to make payment of any amount due and payable under or in respect of this Agreement and shall not give rise to any extension of the Term, except as otherwise may be provided for herein; and 
(iv)    the suspension of any obligations shall be of no greater scope and of no longer duration than is reasonably required due to the Force Majeure event, and the affected Party shall use reasonable best efforts to overcome or mitigate the effects of such Force Majeure event. 
(d)    In addition to any other termination rights under this Agreement, Delek shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon [***] days advance written notice to DKL if an event of Force Majeure has occurred and is continuing and such event prevents DKL from receiving at the Receipt Points or otherwise providing the services hereunder for at least [***]% of Products requested by Delek to be transported for a period of [***] consecutive months or for a total of [***] non-consecutive months during any period of [***] consecutive months.













(e)    In addition to any other termination rights under this Agreement, DKL shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon [***] days advance written notice to Delek if an event of Force Majeure has occurred and is continuing and such event prevents Delek from delivering Products hereunder (or accruing deficiency payments under Section 3(e)) for a period of [***] consecutive months or for a total of [***] non-consecutive months during any period of [***] consecutive months.

Section 19.    Miscellaneous
(a)    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.
(i)    The failure of a Party hereunder to assert a right or enforce an obligation of any of the other Parties shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or obligation.  The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of, or Event of Default under, this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other breach of that provision or as a waiver of any 













breach of another provision of, Event of Default or potential Event of Default under, this Agreement, whether of a like kind or different nature.

(i)    This Agreement shall not be construed as creating a partnership, association or joint venture among the Parties.

(ii)    No Party shall have the right or authority to negotiate, conclude or execute any contract or legal document with any third person; to assume, create, or incur any liability of any kind, express or implied, against or in the name of any of the other Party, or to otherwise act as the representative of the other Party, unless expressly authorized in writing by such other Party.
(c)    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the Parties in connection therewith.
(d)    Successors and Assigns.
(i)    DKL shall not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without Delek’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, that it will be reasonable for Delek to withhold consent if the proposed assignee is not Creditworthy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) DKL may assign this Agreement without Delek’s consent in connection with a sale by DKL of all or substantially all of its assets, including by merger, equity sale, asset sale or otherwise, so long as the transferee: (A) agrees to assume all of DKL’s obligations under this Agreement and (B) is Creditworthy; and (2) DKL shall be permitted to make a collateral assignment of this Agreement solely to secure financing for DKL and its Affiliates. 
(ii)    Delek shall not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without DKL’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, that it will be reasonable for DKL to withhold consent if the proposed assignee is not Creditworthy and does not provide Adequate Assurance of Payment if requested by DKL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) Delek may assign this Agreement without DKL’s consent in connection with a sale by Delek of all or substantially all of its assets, including by merger, equity sale, asset sale or otherwise, so long as the transferee: (A) agrees to assume all of Delek’s obligations under this Agreement; and (B) is Creditworthy or, if not Creditworthy, provides Adequate Assurance of Payment if requested by DKL; and (2) Delek shall be permitted to make a collateral assignment of this Agreement solely to secure financing for Delek and its Affiliates.













(iii)    Any assignment that is not undertaken in accordance with the provisions set forth above shall be null and void ab initio.  A Party making any assignment shall promptly notify the other Party of such assignment, regardless of whether consent is required.
(e)    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which, when so executed and delivered (including by facsimile or portable document format (.pdf)), will be deemed original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
(f)    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 any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision hereof in accordance with this Section 19(f), 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.
(g)    No Inducement.  No promise, representation or inducement has been made by any of the Parties that is not embodied in this Agreement, and none of the Parties shall be bound by or liable for any alleged representation, promise or inducement not so set forth.
(h)    Time of the Essence.  Time is of the essence with respect to all aspects of each Party’s performance of any obligations under this Agreement.
(i)    No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party hereto and their successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person (other than the Indemnified Parties with respect to Section 17) any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

(l)    Survival.  All audit rights, payment, confidentiality and indemnification obligations and obligations under this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
(m)    Arbitration Provision.  Any and all Disputes shall be resolved through the use of binding arbitration using three (3) arbitrators, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as supplemented to the extent necessary to determine any procedural appeal questions by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code).  If there is any inconsistency between this Section 19(m) and the Commercial Arbitration Rules or the Federal 













Arbitration Act, the terms of this Section 19(m) will control the rights and obligations of the Parties.  Arbitration must be initiated within the time limits set forth in this Agreement, or if no such limits apply, then within a reasonable time or the time period allowed by the applicable statute of limitations.  Arbitration may be initiated by а Party (“Claimant”) serving written notice on the other Party (“Respondent”) that the Claimant elects to refer the Dispute to binding arbitration.  Claimant’s notice initiating binding arbitration must identify the arbitrator Claimant has appointed.  The Respondent shall respond to Claimant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Claimant’s notice, identifying the arbitrator Respondent has appointed.  If the Respondent fails for any reason to name an arbitrator within the 30-day period, Claimant shall petition the American Arbitration Association for appointment of an arbitrator for Respondent’s account.  The two (2) arbitrators so chosen shall select а third (3rd) arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the second (2nd) arbitrator has been appointed.  The Claimant will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it, and the Respondent will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it.  The costs of petitioning for the appointment of an arbitrator, if any, shall be paid by Respondent.  The Claimant and Respondent will each pay one-half of the compensation and expenses of the third (3rd) arbitrator.  All arbitrators must (i) be neutral parties who have never been officers, directors or employees of DKL, Delek or any of their respective affiliates and (ii) have not less than seven (7) years of experience in the energy industry.  The hearing will be conducted in Brentwood, Tennessee and commence within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third (3rd) arbitrator.  DKL, Delek and the arbitrators shall proceed diligently and in good faith in order that the award may be made as promptly as possible.  Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the decision of the arbitrators will be binding on and non-appealable by the Parties hereto.  The arbitrators shall have no right to grant or award Special Damages in favor of the Delek, on the one hand (except to the extent such Special Damages (i) are awarded to a third-party or (ii) are the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of DKL), or DKL, on the other hand (except to the extent such Special Damages (x) are awarded to a third-party, or (y) are the result of the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Delek).
(n)    Confidentiality.
(i)    Obligations.  Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to retain the other Party’s Confidential Information in confidence and not disclose the same to any third party, nor use the same other than in connection with the performance of its respective obligations under this Agreement, except as authorized by the disclosing Party in writing or as expressly permitted in this Section 19(n).  Each Party further agrees to take the same care with the other Party’s Confidential Information as it does with its own, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care.
(ii)    Required Disclosure.  Notwithstanding Section 19(n)(i) above, if the receiving Party becomes legally compelled to disclose the Confidential Information by a Governmental Authority or Applicable Law, including the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or is required to disclose pursuant to the rules and regulations of any national securities exchange upon which the receiving Party or its parent entity is listed, any of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the receiving Party shall, to the extent practicable and permitted by Applicable Law, promptly advise the disclosing Party of such requirement to disclose Confidential Information as soon as the receiving Party becomes aware that such a requirement to disclose might become effective, in order that, where possible, the disclosing Party may seek a protective order or such other remedy at the disclosing Party’s sole initiative 













and costs as the disclosing Party may consider appropriate in the circumstances. The receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that it is required to disclose by law and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the disclosing Party in allowing the disclosing Party to obtain such protective order or other relief.
(iii)    Return of Information.  Upon written request by the disclosing Party, all of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in whatever form shall be returned to the disclosing Party upon termination of this Agreement or destroyed with destruction certified by the receiving Party, without the receiving Party retaining copies thereof except that one (1) copy of all such Confidential Information may be retained by a Party’s legal department solely to the extent that such Party is required to keep a copy of such Confidential Information pursuant to Applicable Law, and the receiving Party shall be entitled to retain any Confidential Information in electronic form or stored on automatic computer back-up archiving systems during the period such backup or archived materials are retained under such Party’s customary procedures and policies; provided, however, that any Confidential Information retained by the receiving Party shall be maintained subject to confidentiality pursuant to the terms of this Section 19(n) notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, and such archived or back-up Confidential Information shall not be accessed except as required by Applicable Law.
(iv)    Receiving Party Personnel.  The receiving Party may disclose to, but will limit access to the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party to those of its employees, representatives, officers, managers, directors, advisors, attorneys and contractors that have a need to know such information in order for the receiving Party to exercise or perform its rights and obligations under this Agreement (the “Receiving Party Personnel”).  The Receiving Party Personnel who have access to any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party will be made aware of the confidentiality provision of this Agreement and will be required to abide by the terms thereof; provided, however, that the receiving party will remain liable for any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information by Receiving Party Personnel.  Any third party contractors that are given access to Confidential Information of a disclosing Party pursuant to the terms hereof shall be required to sign a written agreement pursuant to which such Receiving Party Personnel agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, which written agreement will expressly state that it is enforceable against such Receiving Party Personnel by the disclosing Party.
