	3.8.3
	The “Actual Step-out Inventory” of each Product Group shall be determined as of 11:59:59 p.m.  EPT on the Step-out Date in accordance with Schedule D (with the necessary changes having been made therein to reflect a determination of such volumes using the procedures therein as of the Step-out Date, instead of as the Commencement Date).

	3.8.4
	The “Step-out Payment Amount” shall equal the sum of the following items (without duplication), as determined by Aron in a commercially reasonable manner:

(iii)the aggregate amount due under Section 12.5, calculated as of the Step-out Date with such date being the final day of the last monthly period for which such calculations are to be made under this Agreement (including any FIFO Balance Final Settlement provided for in Schedule L, as defined therein); provided that, if such amount under Section 12.5 is due to Aron, then such amount will be included in this Step-out Payment Amount as a positive number and if such amount under Section 12.5 is due to DCR, then such amount will be included in this Step-out Payment Amount as a negative number; plus




30
ny-1664023







(iv)any Ancillary Costs incurred through the Step-out Date that have not yet been paid or reimbursed by DCR pursuant to Section 6.6; plus
(v)if one or more Specified Periods designated by DCR or otherwise established pursuant to the provisions of Schedule F prior to the Step-out Date ends after the Step-out Date, the net present values as of the Step-out Date of the Inventory Intermediation Roll Fees that would have become due as of the end of such Specified Periods (discounted from the “True Up Date” that would have applied to such Specified Period to the “True Up Date” applicable to a Specified Period ending on the Step-out Date, and the discount rate to be used in the net present value calculation shall be equal to LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin), which shall be aggregated so that a net amount due to one party or the other is determined, which net amount if due to Aron shall be included in this clause as a positive number and if due to DCR shall be included in this clause as a negative number (notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of applying this clause (v), to the extent practicable and if mutually agreed to by the Parties, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit DCR to assume any positions established pursuant to Schedule F upon commercially reasonable terms); plus
(vi)[reserved]
(vii)all unpaid amounts payable hereunder by DCR to Aron in respect of Products bought or sold on or prior to the Step-out Date and not taken into account under this Section 3.8.4; minus
(viii)all unpaid amounts payable hereunder by Aron to DCR in respect of Products bought or sold on or prior to the Step-out Date and not taken into account under this Section 3.8.4.
All of the foregoing amounts shall be aggregated or netted to a single liquidated amount owing from one Party to the other.  If the Step-out Payment Amount is a positive number, it shall be due to Aron and if it is a negative number, the absolute value thereof shall be due to DCR.
No later than 30 days after the Step-out Date, Aron shall give DCR notice of the Step-out Payment Amount, together with a statement providing a reasonably detailed summary of the calculations made by Aron in determining the Step-out Payment Amount, along with related supporting documentation. 
		
	3.8.5
	The Parties acknowledge that Aron may not be able to definitively determine one or more of the components of the Step-out Payment Amount by the Step-out Date (provided, however, that Aron shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to determine all such components by the Step-out Date to the maximum extent practicable) and therefore agree in 






31
ny-1664023







such event that Aron shall, in a commercially reasonable manner, estimate each of such components and use such estimated components to determine an estimate of the Step-out Payment Amount (the “Estimated Step-out Payment Amount”).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties agree that the estimated amount with respect to clause (i) of Section 3.8.4 shall be the Estimated Step-out Inventory Purchase Value.  Aron shall prepare, and provide DCR with, a statement of the Estimated Step-out Payment Amount, together with appropriate supporting documentation, at least two Business Days prior to the Step-out Date.  Aron shall update its calculation of the Estimated Step-out Payment Amount by no later than 5:00 p.m. EPT on the Business Day immediately preceding the Step-out Date.  If Aron is able to provide such updated amount by such time, that amount shall constitute the Estimated Step-out Payment Amount and shall be due and payable by no later than 5:00 p.m. EPT on the Step-out Date.  Otherwise, the initial Estimated Step-out Payment Amount shall be the amount payable by such time on the Step-out Date.
		
	3.8.6
	No later than 30 days after the Step-out Date, Aron shall prepare, and provide DCR with, (i) a statement showing the calculation, as of the Step-out Date, of the Step-out Payment Amount and (ii) a statement (the “Step-out Reconciliation Statement”) reconciling the Step-out Payment Amount with the Estimated Step-out Payment Amount and indicating any amount remaining to be paid by one Party to the other as a result of such reconciliation.  Within three Business Days after receiving the Step-out Reconciliation Statement and the related supporting documentation, the Parties will make any and all payments required pursuant thereto so that the Step-out Payment Amount shall have been paid in full by wire transfer of immediately available funds.


		
	3.8.7
	DCR agrees to pay Aron, only if this Agreement is terminated in its entirety pursuant to Section 2.3 on or prior to June 30, 2020 at 11:59:59 p.m. EPT (to the extent applicable under Section 2.3), an amount equal to the product of: (a) the amount calculated as the sum of, for each Product Group, the product of (i) the Actual Step-out Inventory Product Benchmark and (ii) the Maximum Inventory and (b) the Specified Early Termination Margin (the “Specified Early Termination Fee”).


		
	3.8.8
	DCR agrees to pay Aron, only if this Agreement is terminated in its entirety pursuant to Section 2.4 on or prior to June 30, 2021 at 11:59:59 p.m. EPT, but after June 30, 2020 at 11:59:59 p.m. EPT (to the extent applicable under Section 2.4), an amount equal to the product of: (a) the amount calculated as the sum of, for each Product Group, the product of (i) the Actual Step-out Inventory Product Benchmark and (ii) the Maximum Inventory, (b) the Early Termination Margin and (c) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days between the date of such

	3.9
	Disputes.  If a Party in good faith disputes the accuracy of any amount calculated pursuant to this Section 3, the non-calculating Party shall provide written notice stating the reasons why the remaining disputed amount is incorrect, along with reasonable supporting documentation.  In the event the Parties are unable to resolve such dispute, the matter shall be resolved in accordance with Section 22.

35
ny-1664023







(as defined in Schedule O), which must be one of the Eligible Futures Contracts listed on Schedule O;
(ii)a Reference Contract Change shall be made for a Product Group during a month only if the RC Change Notice requesting such Reference Contract Change has been received by Aron prior to 2 p.m., EPT, on the 5th Trading Day preceding the Roll Cutoff Date of the Existing Reference Contract for such month; and

	5.
	ADDITIONAL INCLUDED LOCATIONS


		
	5.1
	From time to time after the Commencement Date, DCR may notify Aron that DCR wishes to add a third-party storage location as an Included Location for purposes of this Agreement.  Following such notification, Aron shall promptly undertake a due diligence review of the proposed Included Location to reasonably determine whether Aron is prepared to hold Product inventory at such proposed Included Location.  Aron shall be under no further obligation with respect to such proposed Included Location if Aron reasonably determines that, based on such due diligence review, it is not prepared to hold Product inventory at such proposed Included Location.  Aron shall notify DCR promptly after completing such due diligence review, but in any 






36
ny-1664023







event shall reach a final decision and advise DCR concerning the same within seven days of DCR providing such notice to Aron.

	5.3
	The Parties will cooperate in good faith with regard to the negotiation, preparation and execution of any Required Storage Arrangements upon commercially reasonable terms, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to both Parties.


		
	5.4
	If any Required Storage Arrangements are entered into in connection with additional Included Locations and, thereafter, DCR shall materially fail to (i) perform its obligations under, (ii) comply with or (iii) maintain such Required Storage Arrangements in effect; provided, in each case that if DCR fails to cure or commence a cure any such failure within three Business Days after receiving written notice thereof from Aron, then Aron may, in its reasonable discretion, require that such location be removed from the Included Locations and that DCR at the time such location is removed purchase all Aron Inventory then located at such location on terms comparable to those that apply to a termination of this Agreement under Section 3.8.

	6.1
	Products Sales to Aron by DCR.  Aron agrees to purchase from DCR, and DCR agrees to sell to Aron, the Products produced by the Refinery or delivered to the Refinery, and delivered by DCR into the Included Locations at the values determined pursuant to this Agreement and otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (in each case, other than with regard to any Excess Quantities); provided that (i) Aron shall not be obligated at any time to purchase Products from DCR if such purchase would result in Aron owning Products in any Product Group in the Included Locations in excess of the Maximum Inventory for such Product Group specified on Schedule E (as such Maximum Inventory is adjusted pursuant to Section 6.4) and (ii) Aron’s purchase obligation under this Section 6.1 shall be limited to the extent that it is unable to take delivery of Products as a result of DCR’s failure to comply with the proviso in Section 6.2.


		
	6.2
	Products Sales to DCR by Aron.  DCR agrees to purchase from Aron, and Aron agrees to sell to DCR, the Products delivered out of the Included Locations at the values determined pursuant to this Agreement and otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided that DCR agrees that its purchases and receipt of Products from Aron shall be in sufficient quantities so that Aron shall, at all times during the Term, have available storage capacity in the Included Locations to take delivery of any Products to be sold by DCR to Aron pursuant to Section 6.1.


		
	6.3
	Daily Report of Inventory Volumes.  On or prior to 5:00 p.m. EPT on each Business Day, DCR shall deliver to Aron a report, in the form provided on Exhibit 3, setting forth a good faith estimate of the volumes of each Product (the “Inventory Volumes”) held in the Included Locations as of 11:59:59 p.m. EPT on the immediately prior Business Day and any prior, non-reported days (including holidays and weekends), including the total Aron Inventory levels as to each grade of Product, in each case based on the best available information, by applying the Volume Determination Procedures, together with comparable information with respect to any then-existing Commingled Quantities, any Tanks which pursuant to Section 6.4.5 are not then Included Locations and any Tanks which pursuant to Section 9 have been substituted for other Tanks (the “Daily Report of Inventory Volumes”).


		
	6.4
	Excess Inventory Levels.


		
	6.4.1
	If DCR intends to designate an Excess Inventory Level for any whole or partial month for any Product Group, then DCR shall use commercially 






38
ny-1664023







reasonable efforts to notify Aron of DCR’s intention prior to the Target Cutoff Date for such whole or partial month.  If DCR fails to provide such notice in a timely manner, it shall not be entitled for that whole or partial month to designate an Excess Inventory Level for the relevant Product Group and Sections 6.4.4 and 6.4.5 shall apply.
		
	6.4.2
	If, pursuant to Section 6.4.1, DCR provides timely notice of its intention to designate an Excess Inventory Level for a Product Group, then Aron shall promptly advise DCR whether Aron accepts such Excess Inventory Level (in which case Section 6.4.3 shall apply) or rejects such Excess Inventory Level (in which case Section 6.4.4 and 6.4.5 shall apply).


		
	6.4.3
	If Aron accepts an Excess Inventory Level for any whole or partial month, then, for all purposes of this Agreement, such Excess Inventory Level shall constitute the Maximum Inventory for the relevant Product Group for such whole or partial month; provided that such Excess Inventory Level shall not apply to any other whole or partial month unless expressly accepted by Aron for such other whole or partial month as contemplated by Section 6.4.2.


		
	6.4.4
	If Aron rejects an Excess Inventory Level for any whole or partial month or DCR fails to provide notice to Aron of its intention to designate an Excess Inventory Level in a timely manner for any whole or partial month, then the following provisions shall apply:


(i)The Maximum Inventory for such whole or partial month shall remain at the level set forth on Schedule E and the Target Product Inventory for the relevant Product Group for such whole or partial month shall be equal to no more than the Maximum Inventory.
(ii)Prior to the commencement of such whole or partial month, DCR shall, to the extent practicable and commercially reasonable, identify those Tanks that it will, during such whole or partial month, use to hold and isolate any Excess Quantities.  In doing so, to the extent practicable and commercially reasonable, DCR will endeavor to use smaller capacity Tanks before larger capacity Tanks to facilitate the segregation of such Excess Quantities from the Aron Inventory.  Prior to the commencement of such whole or partial month, DCR shall provide Aron with notice of the Tanks it intends to use for such purposes.
(iii)To the extent that DCR is able to store Excess Quantities in one or more Tanks so that none of the Aron Inventory is commingled in such Tanks, then DCR shall be entitled during the relevant whole or partial month, but only so long as such Excess Quantities are not commingled with Aron Inventory, to include such Excess Quantities in the borrowing base under its Revolving Credit Agreement and to permit the lenders 




39
ny-1664023







thereunder to have a Lien on such Excess Quantities; provided that DCR shall have implemented reasonable arrangements with such lenders to specifically identify such Tanks to them for the foregoing purposes (which arrangements shall be disclosed to Aron).
(iv)To the extent that DCR is unable to store all Excess Quantities on a segregated basis as contemplated by clause (iii) above, the portion of such Excess Quantities not so segregated (the “Commingled Quantities”) may, during the relevant whole or partial month, be held on a commingled basis in Tanks that hold Aron Inventory subject to the following additional terms and conditions:
		
	(a)
	DCR shall identify to Aron which Tanks holding Aron Inventory will also hold Commingled Quantities; and


		
	(b)
	DCR shall, to the extent practicable and commercially reasonable, endeavor to use smaller capacity Tanks before larger capacity Tanks to hold Commingled Quantities.


		
	6.4.5
	In the event that DCR determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it does not wish to designate an Excess Inventory Level for a particular Product Group (or the applicable time for such designation pursuant to Section 6.4.1 has passed) during a whole or partial month and that the Maximum Inventory for such whole or partial month would otherwise be exceeded, then the following provisions shall apply:


(i)Prior to exceeding the Maximum Inventory for such whole or partial month, DCR may, to the extent practicable and commercially reasonable, identify those Tanks that it reasonably expects would, during such whole or partial month, hold any Excess Quantities of the relevant Product Group; and
(ii)To avoid exceeding such Maximum Inventory, DCR may designate one or more of such affected Tanks and purchase from Aron pursuant to Section 6.2 all Aron Inventory located in one or more such affected Tanks so that the Aron Inventory would not exceed the Maximum Inventory for the relevant Product Group for such whole or partial month, after giving effect to such purchase, at a value equal to the product of (a) the volume of the Aron Inventory located in such Tank and (b) the Product Benchmark for the applicable Product Group, and, after such purchase, such affected Tanks shall no longer constitute Included Locations for purposes hereof unless and until DCR determines, in its reasonable discretion, that DCR can sell the Products located in such affected Tanks to Aron pursuant to Section 6.2 at the applicable values established pursuant to Section 12.1 and as further adjusted pursuant to Section 12.5 without exceeding the applicable Maximum Inventory and DCR notifies

Aron may demand such reimbursement from time to time and payment will be due as set forth in Section 12.5.2 after delivery to DCR of the relevant Backup Certificate.  All refunds or adjustments of any type received by Aron related to any Ancillary Costs shall be reflected in the Monthly True-Up Payment as provided in Section 12.5 below.  Upon requesting reimbursement for Ancillary Costs, Aron will deliver to DCR an officer’s certificate certifying as to the nature and amount of the relevant Ancillary Costs, and including the relevant invoices and other reasonable supporting evidence of such Ancillary Costs satisfactory to DCR in its reasonable discretion (the “Backup Certificate”).

47
ny-1664023







location cease to be an Included Location, such change in status shall become effective in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 28.2.3.  If any Tank or other storage location has ceased to be an Included Location pursuant to this Section 9.9.3 and thereafter such Tank or other storage location is returned to service or reactivated and Aron determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment, that such Tank or other storage location is compliant with Aron’s Policies and Procedures, then Aron shall promptly cooperate with DCR to reestablish such tank as an Included Location pursuant to the procedures specified in Section 28.2.3.  If notice is required for an Included Location under clause (ii) above, but DCR intends to continue to use and maintain such Included Location in accordance with Acceptable Industry Practices, DCR may state its intent in such in notice, in which case Aron shall consult with DCR regarding the status and intended use of such Included Location before deciding whether to request the removal of such Included Location pursuant to this section.

	For each Product Group, the “Weekly Product Value” shall be an amount equal to (a) the Weekly Net Volume for such Product Group multiplied by (b) the applicable Weekly Product Benchmark for such Product Group.


(ii)the aggregate of the Weekly Product Values for all Product Groups (the “Total Weekly Product Value”); provided that if the Total Weekly Product Value is a positive number it shall represent an amount due from DCR to Aron and if the Total Weekly Product Value is a negative number, the absolute value thereof shall represent an amount due from Aron to DCR.

	On or before 2:00 p.m. EPT on each applicable “Invoice Date” set forth on Schedule I, Aron shall provide DCR with a statement setting forth:

If an invoiced Party in good faith disputes the accuracy of the amount invoiced, the invoiced Party shall pay such amount as it in good faith believes to be correct and provide written notice stating the reasons why the remaining disputed amount is incorrect, along with supporting documentation.  In the event the Parties are unable to resolve such dispute, the matter shall be resolved in accordance with Section 22.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Specified Transaction, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default with respect to a Party (such Party referred to as the “Defaulting Party”), or upon the occurrence and continuance of an Additional Termination Event with respect to the Affected Party, the other Party in each case (the “Performing Party”) may, in its sole discretion, in addition to all other remedies available to it and without incurring any Liabilities, do any or all of the following:


		
	18.3.1
	suspend its performance under this Agreement and the Commodity Forward Agreement, including any Product sale, purchase, receipt, delivery or payment obligations, upon written notice to the Defaulting Party or Affected Party (except that in the case of any Event of Default under Section 18.1.4, all such performance under this Agreement and the Commodity Forward Agreement shall automatically and without any such notice be suspended);

	exercise any rights and remedies provided or available to the Performing Party under this Agreement or at law or equity, including such remedies as provided for under the UCC.


		
	18.4
	Export of Defaults to and Liquidation of Specified Transactions.  If the Performing Party gives written notice to the Non-Performing Party pursuant to Section 18.3.3 declaring an Early Termination Date (or, if applicable, such Early Termination Date automatically occurs), the occurrence thereof shall constitute a material breach and an event of default, howsoever described, under all Specified Transactions by the Non-Performing Party, and the Performing Party may, by giving notice to the Non-Performing Party, designate an early termination date (which shall be no earlier than the Early Termination Date) for all Specified Transactions and, upon such designation, terminate, liquidate, accelerate and otherwise close out all Specified Transactions that lawfully may be closed out and terminated or, to the extent that in the reasonable opinion of the Performing Party certain of such Specified Transactions may not be liquidated and terminated under Applicable Law on such Early Termination Date, as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable in which case the actual termination date for such Specified Transactions will be the Early Termination Date, subject to the final sentence of this Section 18.4.  In such event, the Performing Party shall calculate the payments due upon early termination of such Specified Transactions in accordance with the terms set forth in such Specified Transactions and in a commercially reasonable manner and without duplication of any amounts payable pursuant to Section 18.5, which shall be aggregated or netted to a single liquidated amount (the “Specified Transaction Close-Out Amount”) and paid pursuant to the terms of such agreements, or, if no payment date is specified, on the payment date specified in Section 18.7.  In determining the Specified Transaction Close-Out Amount the Performing Party may foreclose upon and apply any collateral provided by or on behalf of the Non-Performing Party under this Agreement or any Specified Transaction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of closing out, liquidating and terminating such Specified Transactions, to the extent practicable and if mutually agreed to by the Parties, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit the Non-Performing Party to assume the Performing Party’s obligations under such Specified Transactions upon commercially reasonable terms.


		
	18.5
	Determination of Settlement Amount in the Event of Early Termination.


		
	18.5.1
	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Performing Party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 18.3.3 (or, if applicable, such termination automatically occurs), the Performing Party shall have the right, immediately and for 60 days thereafter, to terminate any other contract or agreement that may then be outstanding among the Parties that relates specifically to this Agreement, including any Transaction Document and, subject to Section 18.5.2, to liquidate and terminate any or all rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that, in the event Aron is the Performing Party, this Agreement shall not be deemed to have terminated in full until Aron shall have disposed of 






68
ny-1664023







all of the Aron Inventory (but in any event within 60 days thereafter); and provided further that such 60 day period shall be extended to the extent that the Performing Party is subject to or required to comply with the order of any court of competent jurisdiction that limits its ability to exercise such rights or remedies or if the exercise of such rights or remedies is impracticable due to circumstances beyond the Performing Party’s reasonable control (which, with the exercise of due diligence, such Party cannot avoid or overcome).  The “Settlement Amount” shall mean (A) the amount, expressed in U.S. Dollars, of all actual, reasonable losses and costs that are incurred by the Performing Party (expressed as a positive number) or gains that are realized by the Performing Party (expressed as a negative number) as a result of the liquidation and termination of all rights and obligations under this Agreement other than the rights and obligations arising under the Commodity Forward Agreement, plus (B) at the election of the Performing Party, the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount.  In determining the Settlement Amount, the Performing Party shall be entitled to take into account (without duplication): (w) for any Specified Period designated by DCR or otherwise established pursuant to the provisions of Schedule F prior to the Early Termination Date that ends after such Early Termination Date, the net present values as of the Early Termination Date of the Inventory Intermediation Roll Fees that would have become due as of the end of such Specified Period absent the early termination (where the discount rate to be used in the net present value calculation shall be equal to LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin), (x) all Specified Unwind Costs (as determined with respect to all Corresponding Futures and aggregated into a net amount), (y) the actual, reasonable losses and costs (or gains) incurred or realized by the Performing Party to the extent it elects to dispose of any Product inventories maintained for purposes of this Agreement and (z) if such termination occurs prior to June 30, 2021 and Aron is the Performing Party, the amount of the Specified Early Termination Fee or Early Termination Fee that would have been payable to Aron pursuant to Section 3.8.7 or 3.8.8, respectively (if any), as a result of an early termination under Section 2.3 or 2.4 of this Agreement, except that if such termination occurs prior to December 31, 2019 the Specified Early Termination Fee shall be calculated in the same manner as under Section 3.8.7 except that the Default Early Termination Margin shall be used in place of the Specified Early Termination Margin; provided further that if the Performing Party elects that the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount shall not be included in the determination of the Settlement Amount, the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount and the Settlement Amount shall each become due at the same time pursuant to Section 18.3.  If the Settlement Amount is a positive number it shall be due to the Performing Party and if it is a negative number, the absolute value thereof shall be due to the Non-Performing Party and the 




69
ny-1664023







Commodity Forward Settlement Amount, if not included in the Settlement Amount, if a positive number shall be due to the Performing Party and if a negative number, the absolute value thereof shall be due to the Non-Performing Party.
		
	18.5.2
	The Settlement Amount and the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount shall be determined by the Performing Party, acting in good faith, in a commercially reasonable manner, based on the applicable liquidated and terminated rights and obligations and shall be payable by one Party to the other.  The Performing Party shall determine the Settlement Amount and the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount commencing as of the date on which such termination occurs by reference to such futures, forward, swap and options markets as it shall select in its commercially reasonable judgment; provided that the Performing Party is not required to effect such terminations and/or determine the Settlement Amount and/or the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount on a single day, but rather may effect such terminations and determine the Settlement Amount and/or the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount over a commercially reasonable period of time (but in any event within 60 days thereafter, subject to extension of such 60 day period on the same basis as the 60 day period referred to in Section 18.5.1 may be extended thereunder).  In calculating the Settlement Amount and the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount, the Performing Party shall discount to present value (in a commercially reasonable manner based on LIBOR) any amount which would be due at a later date and shall add interest (at a rate determined in the same manner) to any amount due prior to the date of the calculation.


		
	18.5.3
	For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Commodity Forward Settlement Amount” shall mean the amount, expressed in U.S. Dollars, of losses and costs that are or would be incurred by the Performing Party (expressed as a positive number) or gains that are or would be realized by the Performing Party (expressed as a negative number) as a result of the liquidation and termination of all rights and obligations (assuming the satisfaction of the condition precedent in Section 18.5.4 below) under the Commodity Forward Transactions, including (without duplication) all Specified Unwind Costs (as determined with respect to all Corresponding Futures and aggregated into a net amount), and (ii) “Commodity Forward Transaction” means any transaction entered into between Aron and DCR under this Agreement that is a forward agreement within the meaning of §101(53)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code.


		
	18.5.4
	Aron and DCR agree that (i) each Commodity Forward Transaction, the rights and obligations thereunder, and the provisions set-out in this Agreement relating to the termination of those Commodity Forward Transactions upon an Event of Default or Additional Termination Event 






70
ny-1664023







and the determination and payment of the resulting Commodity Forward Settlement Amount shall be deemed to form a separate single agreement between Aron and DCR (the “Commodity Forward Agreement”), and without such agreement each such party would not otherwise enter into any Commodity Forward Transaction; and (ii) each obligation of each party under a Commodity Forward Transaction is subject to the condition precedent that no Event of Default pursuant to Section 18.1.4 has occurred and is continuing.
		
	18.6
	Determination of the Termination Amount in the Event of Early Termination.  The amount payable in respect of early termination due to an Event of Default shall comprise (without duplication) all of the following amounts, which shall be aggregated or netted to a single liquidated amount (the “Termination Amount”) owing from one Party to the other Party:


		
	18.6.1
	the Settlement Amount;


		
	18.6.2
	the Specified Transaction Close-Out Amount as determined pursuant to Section 18.4;


		
	18.6.3
	the amount of any performance assurance, credit support or collateral provided by or on behalf of DCR under any Specified Transaction held by Aron at the Early Termination Date, which shall be applied as a credit to DCR;


		
	18.6.4
	without duplication, all actual out-of-pocket losses, damages and expenses reasonably and necessarily incurred by the Performing Party as a result of the termination and liquidation of this Agreement, in each case including reasonable (i) attorneys’ fees, (ii) court costs, (iii) collection costs, (iv) interest charges and (v) other reasonable disbursements; and


		
	18.6.5
	all Unpaid Amounts, including any purchase value for Product that has not yet been paid;


provided that, if the Performing Party has elected that the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount not be included in the Settlement Amount, then the Performing Party may also elect whether to include the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount in the Termination Amount and if the Performing Party elects not to include the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount in the Termination Amount, then payment of the Commodity Forward Settement Amount shall be due concurrently with payment of the Termination Amount under Section 18.7 and shall if the Performing Party owes the Commodity Forward Settlement Amount, then it shall pay such amount once it has reasonably determined all amounts owed by the Non-Performing Party to it under all Specified Transactions and its rights of close-out and setoff under Section 18.9.

	18.7
	Payment of Termination Amount.  The Performing Party shall notify the Non-Performing Party of the Termination Amount due from or due to such Party.  If the Non-Performing Party owes the Termination Amount to the Performing Party, the Non-Performing Party shall pay the Termination Amount on the second Business Day after it receives the statement.  If the Performing Party owes the Termination Amount to the Non-Performing Party, the Performing Party shall pay the Termination Amount once it has reasonably determined all amounts owed by the Non-Performing Party to it under all Specified Transactions and its rights of close-out and setoff under Section 18.9. 


		
	18.8
	Certain Rights of Aron as Performing Party.  Without limiting any other rights or remedies hereunder, if Aron is the Performing Party, Aron may, in its commercially reasonable discretion, (i) withdraw from storage any and all of the Products then in the Included Locations, (ii) otherwise arrange for the disposition of any Products then in the Included Locations and (iii) liquidate in a commercially reasonable manner any credit support, margin or collateral, to the extent not already in the form of cash (including applying any other margin or collateral) and apply and set off such credit support, margin or collateral or the proceeds thereof against any obligation owing by DCR to Aron.  Aron shall be under no obligation to prioritize the order with respect to which it exercises any one or more rights and remedies available hereunder.  DCR shall in all events remain liable to Aron for any amount payable by DCR in respect of any of its obligations remaining unpaid after any such liquidation, application and set off.


		
	18.9
	Setoff Rights of Performing Party.  If the Performing Party elects to designate an Early Termination Date under Section 18.3.3, the Performing Party shall be entitled, at its option and in its discretion (and without prior notice to the Non-Performing Party), to setoff against the Termination Amount (whether such Termination Amount is payable to the Performing Party or to the Non-Performing Party) any other amounts payable under any agreements between the Non- Performing Party and the Performing Party (whether or not matured or contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or place of booking of the obligation).  To the extent that the Termination Amount is so set off, the Termination Amount and other amounts will be discharged promptly and in all respects.  The Performing Party will give at least one Business Day’s prior written notice to the other Party of any set-off effected under this Section 18.9.


		
	18.10
	Non-Exclusive Remedies.  The Performing Party’s rights under this Section 18 are in addition to, and not in limitation or exclusion of, any other rights of setoff, recoupment, combination of accounts, Lien or other right which it may have, whether by agreement, operation of law or otherwise.  No delay or failure on the part of a Performing Party to exercise any right or remedy shall constitute an abandonment of such right or remedy and the Performing Party shall be entitled to exercise such right or remedy at any time after a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing.

	18.11
	Indemnification.  The Non-Performing Party shall reimburse the Performing Party for its reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, actually incurred in connection with the enforcement of, suing for or collecting any amounts payable by the Non-Performing Party.  The Non-Performing Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Performing Party for any reasonable damages, losses and expenses actually incurred by the Performing Party as a result of any Termination Event.

	Arbitration.  Any dispute governed by Section 22.2.1.1 or 22.2.1.2 shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration using a single arbitrator, as to Section 22.2.1.1, or three arbitrators, as to Section 22.2.1.2, applying by reference the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) as in effect on the date such dispute arises, 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 the provisions of this Agreement and the AAA Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.


		
	22.4.1
	Arbitration must be initiated within the time period allowed by the applicable statute of limitations.


		
	22.4.2

	As to Section 22.2.1.2, the initiating Party’s notice shall identify the arbitrator such Party is appointing.

less than $1,000,000 the hearing shall commence as promptly as practicable after the selection of the arbitrator.  If the amount in controversy is equal to or exceeds $1,000,000, the hearing shall commence at such time as agreed to by the Parties and the arbitrators but no later than three months after the selection of the third arbitrator.  Expedited discovery will be permitted if and as agreed to by the Parties.  If the Parties are unable to agree, the arbitrators shall resolve any discovery disputes consistent with the AAA Rules.

	CONFIDENTIALITY


		
	26.1
	This Agreement and all documents related to the foregoing and any information pertaining thereto made available by a Party or its Representatives to the other Party or its Representatives are confidential (collectively, “Confidential Information”), which obligation supersedes in all respects the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement dated as of April 18, 2013 by and between Aron and PBFH (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).  Each Party shall at a minimum use the same efforts and standard of care with respect to Confidential Information provided by the other Party that it uses to preserve its own confidential information, and in no event less than commercially reasonable efforts.  Confidential Information shall not be discussed with or disclosed to any third party by any Party except for such information (i) as may become generally available to the public through no breach of this Section 26.1 or any other agreement between the Parties, (ii) as may be required or appropriate in response to any summons, subpoena or otherwise in connection with any litigation or to comply with any Applicable Law or accounting disclosure rule or standard or request by any supervisory or regulatory authority, (iii) as may be obtained from a non-confidential source that disclosed such information in a manner that did not violate its obligations to the other Party or its credit support provider in making such disclosure, or (iv) as may be furnished to the disclosing Party’s Affiliates or to its Representatives, all of whom are required to keep the information that is disclosed in confidence.

	CHANGE IN LAW


		
	27.1
	Each Party shall make reasonable efforts to monitor any proposed Change in Law that may reasonably be expected to have an impact on Aron’s ability to perform any of its obligations under any of the Aron Hedges in a commercially reasonable manner and shall promptly notify the other Party upon becoming aware of any such proposed Change in Law.  Such notice shall identify the proposed Change in Law and set out in reasonable detail the effects the notifying Party anticipates such Change in Law would have upon such performance of any such Aron Hedges if enacted.  The Parties shall in good faith meet to discuss what, if any, measures can be taken by either Party (or both) to minimize and/or mitigate the effect of any such proposed Change in Law.  If a Change in Law results or would result in a Party (the “Adversely Affected Party”): (a) violating any Applicable Law in connection with its performance of any of the Aron Hedges, (b) incurring Taxes, Liabilities or other sanctions of a monetary nature in excess of $1,000,000 per annum solely as a result of such Party’s performance of the Aron Hedges, in each case the Adversely Affected Party shall be entitled to request that the Parties meet for purposes of addressing such Change in Law by providing written notice (a “Change in Law Notice”) to the other Party (the “Non-Affected Party”).  Within seven Business Days of receipt of a Change in Law Notice, the Parties shall meet in good faith with a view to identifying any steps (“Consequential Steps”) that would alleviate the effects of the relevant Change in Law on the Adversely Affected Party, which may include an agreement between the Parties to share the relevant incremental losses incurred by the Adversely Affected Party or the amendment of any Transaction Document.  In identifying the Consequential Steps, the Parties shall, as far as is reasonably practicable, do so in a manner that preserves the balance of the commercial agreement (including economic benefits, risk allocation, costs and Liabilities) existing between the Parties under this Agreement as of the Effective Date.  In the event the Parties cannot reach agreement on the Consequential Steps and on the implementation of the same within 30 Business Days of receipt by the Non-Affected Party of the Change in Law Notice, either Party may terminate this Agreement by giving the other Party 30 Business Days advance notice of such termination.


		
	27.2
	Each Party shall make reasonable efforts to monitor any proposed Change in Law that results from, or is relevant to, any Taxes, Liabilities or sanctions in respect of any gross receipts tax pursuant to Title 30 of the Delaware Code as in effect from time to time (a “Delaware Tax Change in Law”), and that may reasonably be expected to have an impact on either Party’s (or its Guarantor’s) ability to perform any of its obligations under any of the Transactions Documents in a commercially reasonable manner and shall promptly notify the other Party upon becoming aware of any such proposed Delaware Tax Change in Law.  Such notice shall identify the proposed Delaware Tax Change in Law and set out in reasonable detail the effects the notifying Party anticipates such Delaware Tax Change in Law would have upon such performance of any such Transaction Documents if enacted.  The Parties shall in good faith meet to discuss what, if any, measures can be taken by either Party (or both) to minimize and/or mitigate the effect of any such proposed Delaware Tax 






83
ny-1664023







Change in Law.  If a Delaware Tax Change in Law results or would result in a Party or its Guarantor (the “Adversely Tax Affected Party”) incurring Taxes, Liabilities or other sanctions of a monetary nature in excess of $1,500,000 per annum solely as a result of such Party’s (or its Guarantor’s) performance of the Transaction Documents, in each case the Adversely Tax Affected Party shall be entitled to request that the Parties meet for purposes of addressing such Delaware Tax Change in Law by providing written notice (a “Change in Tax Law Notice”) to the other Party (the “Tax Non-Affected Party”).  Within seven Business Days of receipt of a Change in Tax Law Notice, the Parties shall meet in good faith with a view to identifying any steps (“Consequential Tax Steps”) that would alleviate the effects of the relevant Delaware Tax Change in Law on the Adversely Tax Affected Party, which may include an agreement between the Parties to share the relevant incremental losses incurred by the Adversely Tax Affected Party or the amendment of any Transaction Document.  In identifying the Consequential Tax Steps, the Parties shall, as far as is reasonably practicable, do so in a manner that preserves the balance of the commercial agreement (including economic benefits, risk allocation, costs and Liabilities) existing between the Parties under this Agreement as of the Effective Date.  In the event the Parties cannot reach agreement on the Consequential Steps and on the implementation of the same within 30 Business Days of receipt by the Tax Non-Affected Party of the Delaware Tax Change in Law Notice, then either Party may terminate this Agreement (but not the Related Agreement) by giving the other Party at least 30 Business Days advance notice of such termination which shall provide for a termination date on the first Business Day of a month.

	The parties may from time to time remove a Product from, add a Product to or modify a Product on Schedule A (each, a “Product Change”) or remove a Tank from Schedule B or add a removed Tank back to Schedule B (each, a “Tank Status Change”) in accordance with the following procedures:


(a) Each Product Change or Tank Status Change shall be evidenced by an exchange of emails between the parties which shall specifically reference (i) in the case of a Product Change, the Product being removed, added or modified, the effective date of such Product Change and, if such Product Change is known to be temporary, the date or expected date as of which such Product Change is to end and (ii) in the case of a Tank Status Change, the Tank, indicate the nature of the Tank Status Change (i.e., whether it is being removed from or added to Schedule B), the effective date of such Tank Status Change and, if such Tank Status Change is known to be temporary, the date or expected date as of which such Tank Status Change is expected to end (it being acknowledged that such expected date is merely for informational purposes).  Either party may initiate this email exchange, but such email exchange shall only be effective to bind the parties once the second party has responded via email in a manner sufficient to confirm its agreement to the Product Change or Tank Status Change reflected in the initial email.  Any matter other than a Product Change or Tank Status Change that is addressed or discussed in any such email communications shall not be binding on the parties.
(b) An exchange of emails complying with the terms of this Section 28.2.3 shall (notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein) constitute an amendment of Schedule A or B as applicable with respect to the relevant Product or Tank.
(c) Whenever, as a result of any Tank Status Change effected in accordance with the foregoing procedures, a Tank is (i) included on Schedule B, it shall constitute an Included Location for purposes of the

Each Schedule N Change shall be evidenced by an exchange of emails between the parties which shall specifically reference the new Schedule N, the effective date of such Schedule N Change and, if such Schedule N Change is known to be temporary, the date or expected date as of which such Schedule N Change is to end.  Either party may initiate this email exchange, but such email exchange shall only be effective to bind the parties once the second party has responded via email in a manner sufficient to confirm its agreement to the Schedule N Change reflected in the initial email.  Any matter other than a Schedule N Change that is addressed or discussed in any such email communications shall not be binding on the parties.


		
	28.3
	Severability.  If at any time any court of competent jurisdiction declares that any provision of this Agreement is or any provision of this Agreement becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any Applicable Law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the Applicable Law of any other jurisdiction will be affected or impaired in any way.  The Parties will negotiate in good faith with a view to reform this Agreement in order to give effect to the original intention of the Parties and produce as nearly as is practicable in all the circumstances the appropriate balance of the commercial interests of the Parties.  The failure to agree upon such provisions for any reason or no reason shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement.


		
	28.4
	Waiver and Cumulative Remedies.  No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy under this Agreement or provided by Applicable Law shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy prevent any further or other exercise or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  The rights, powers and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies.  Any waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach.


		
	28.5
	Time Is of the Essence.  Time shall be of the essence for this Agreement with respect to all aspects of each Party’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement.


		
	28.6
	No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  There are no third party beneficiaries to this Agreement and the provisions of this Agreement shall not impart any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim enforceable by any person, firm or organization other than the Parties and their successors in interest and permitted assigns.

	28.7
	Announcements.  At no time during the Term of this Agreement, and for a period of two years following its expiration or termination, shall any Party issue any press announcement or public statement regarding this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, except as may be required by Applicable Law or applicable stock exchange rules or requirements or to the extent public disclosure is required under the circumstances described in any relevant confidentiality agreement entered into between the Parties.  The issuing Party will:


		
	28.7.1
	use all reasonable efforts to notify the other Party of the content of such announcement at least three Business Days prior to such issue (unless otherwise required by Applicable Law or to the extent public disclosure is required under the circumstances described in any relevant confidentiality agreement entered into by the Parties); and


		
	28.7.2
	take the other Party’s comments on the proposed announcement into account as is reasonable under the circumstances, provided such comments are received within two Business Days of the notification.


		
	28.8
	Expenses.  Each Party shall pay its own costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by such Party in connection with the Transaction Documents and any costs, fees and expenses incident to the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereunder.


		
	28.9
	Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by the Parties in separate counterparts and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile or electronic transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the Party executing (or on whose behalf the signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or electronic signature page were an original thereof.
