The Company and the Executive desire to amend and restate the Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement in its entirety as provided for herein.

 

In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other valid consideration the sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

Section 1.                                           Employment.

 

1.1.                            Term.  The Company agrees to employ the Executive, and the Executive agrees to be employed by the Company, in each case pursuant to this Employment Agreement, for a period commencing on August 7, 2012 (the “Commencement Date”) and ending on the earlier of (i) the third (3rd) anniversary of the Commencement Date and (ii) the termination or resignation of the Executive’s employment in accordance with Section 3 hereof (the “Term”).

 

1.2.                            Duties.  During the Term, the Executive shall serve as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company and such other or additional positions as an officer or director of the Company, and of such direct or indirect affiliates of the Company (“Affiliates”), as the Executive and the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) or its designee shall mutually agree from time to time.  In such positions, the Executive shall perform such duties, functions and responsibilities during the Term commensurate with the Executive’s positions as reasonably directed by the Board.

 

1.3.                            Exclusivity.  During the Term, the Executive shall devote substantially all of Executive’s working time and attention to the business and affairs of the Company and its Affiliates, shall faithfully serve the Company and its Affiliates, and shall in all material respects conform to and comply with the lawful and reasonable directions and instructions given to Executive by the Board, or its designee, consistent with Section 1.2 hereof.  During the Term, the Executive shall use Executive’s best efforts during Executive’s working time to promote and serve the interests of the Company and its Affiliates and shall not engage in any other business activity, whether or not such activity shall be engaged in for pecuniary profit.  The provisions of this Section 1.3 shall not be construed to prevent the Executive from investing

 

 

Executive’s personal, private assets as a passive investor in such form or manner as will not require any active services on the part of the Executive in the management or operation of the affairs of the companies, partnerships, or other business entities in which any such passive investments are made.

 

Section 2.                                           Compensation.

 

2.1.                            Salary.  As compensation for the performance of the Executive’s services hereunder, during the Term, the Company shall pay to the Executive a salary at an annual rate of $350,000 which annual salary shall be prorated for any partial year at the beginning or end of the Term and shall accrue and be payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll policies, as such salary may be adjusted upward by the Compensation Committee of the Board in its discretion (as adjusted, the “Base Salary”).

 

2.2.                            Annual Bonus.  For each completed fiscal year occurring during the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual cash bonus (the “Annual Bonus”).  For fiscal year 2012, the target Annual Bonus shall be equal to (i) 70% of the Executive’s Base Salary of $235,000, prorated for the portion of the year that the Executive served as Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer and (ii) 100% of the Executive’s Base Salary of $350,000, prorated for the portion of the year that the Executive served as Chief Financial Officer, in each case such proration based on the number of days that the Executive served in each position.  Commencing with fiscal year 2013, the target Annual Bonus shall be 100% of the Executive’s Base Salary as in effect at the beginning of fiscal year 2013 and at the beginning of each such fiscal year thereafter during the Term, the actual Annual Bonus to be based upon such individual and/or Company performance criteria established for each such fiscal year by the Compensation Committee of the Board.  The Annual Bonus, if any, payable to Executive for a fiscal year will be paid by the Company to the Executive pursuant to the Company’s Performance Incentive Plan.

 

2.3.                            Employee Benefits.  During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in such health, insurance, retirement, and other employee benefit plans and programs of the Company as in effect from time to time on the same basis as other senior executives of the Company.

 

2.4.                            Paid Time Off.  During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to twenty-five (25) days of paid time off (“PTO”) each year.

 

2.5.                            Business Expenses.  The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all commercially reasonable business out-of-pocket expenses that the Executive incurs during the Term in performing Executive’s duties under this Employment Agreement upon presentation of documentation and in accordance with the expense reimbursement policy of the Company as approved by the Board and in effect from time to time.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary or otherwise, except to the extent any expense or reimbursement described in this Employment Agreement does not constitute a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the Treasury regulations and other guidance issued thereunder, any expense or reimbursement described in this Employment Agreement shall meet the following requirements:

 

2

 

(i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement provided to the Executive during any calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement to the Executive in any other calendar year; (ii) the reimbursements for expenses for which the Executive is entitled to be reimbursed shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable expense is incurred; (iii) the right to payment or reimbursement or in-kind benefits hereunder may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit; and (iv) the reimbursements shall be made pursuant to objectively determinable and nondiscretionary Company policies and procedures regarding such reimbursement of expenses.

 

Section 3.                                           Employment Termination.

 

3.1.                            Termination of Employment.  The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment for any reason during the Term, and the Executive may voluntarily resign Executive’s employment for any reason during the Term, in each case (other than a termination by the Company for Cause) at any time upon not less than thirty (30) days’ notice to the other party.  Upon the termination or resignation of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason (whether during the Term or thereafter), the Executive shall be entitled to any Base Salary earned but unpaid through the date of termination or resignation, any earned but unpaid Annual Bonus for completed fiscal years, any unused accrued PTO and any unreimbursed expenses in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof (collectively, the “Accrued Amounts”).

 

3.2.                            Certain Terminations.

 

(a)                                 Termination by the Company Other Than For Cause or Disability; Resignation by the Executive for Good Reason.  If during the Term (i) the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or Disability or (ii) the Executive resigns for Good Reason, then in addition to the Accrued Amounts the Executive shall be entitled to the following payments and benefits:  (x) the continuation of Executive’s Base Salary at the rate in effect immediately prior to the date of termination or resignation (or, in the case of a resignation for Good Reason, at the rate in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the event constituting Good Reason, if greater) for a period of twelve (12) months (or, if earlier, until and including the month in which the Executive attains age 70) (the “Severance Period”) and (y) a Pro-Rata Bonus and (z) to the extent permitted pursuant to the applicable plans, the continuation on the same terms as an active employee (including, where applicable, coverage for the Executive and the Executive’s dependents) of medical, dental, vision and life insurance benefits (“Welfare Benefits”) the Executive would otherwise be eligible to receive as an active employee of the Company for twelve (12) months or, if earlier, until such time as the Executive becomes eligible for Welfare Benefits from a subsequent employer (the “Welfare Benefit Continuation Period”) (such payments, collectively, the “Severance Payments”).  If the Executive is not permitted to continue participation in the Company’s Welfare Benefit plans pursuant to the terms of such plans or pursuant to a determination by the Company’s insurance providers or such continued participation in the plan would result in the imposition of an excise tax to the Company pursuant to Section 4980D of the Code, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to obtain individual insurance policies providing the Welfare Benefits to the Executive during the Welfare Benefit Continuation Period and, if applicable, the Additional Welfare Benefit Continuation Period (as defined below), but shall only be required to pay for such policies an

 

3

 

amount equal to the amount the Company would have paid had the Executive continued participation in the Company’s Welfare Benefits plans; provided, that, if such coverage cannot be obtained, the Company shall pay to the Executive monthly during the Welfare Benefit Continuation Period and, if applicable, the Additional Welfare Benefit Continuation Period, an amount equal to the amount the Company would have paid had the Executive continued participation in the Company’s Welfare Benefits plans.  The Company’s obligations to make the Severance Payments shall be conditioned upon: (i) the Executive’s continued compliance with Executive’s obligations under Section 4 of this Employment Agreement and (ii) the Executive’s execution, delivery and non-revocation of a valid and enforceable release of claims arising in connection with the Executive’s employment and termination or resignation of employment with the Company (the “Release”) in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Executive that becomes effective not later than forty-five (45) days after the date of such termination or resignation of employment.  In the event that the Executive breaches any of the covenants set forth in Section 4 of this Employment Agreement, the Executive will immediately return to the Company any portion of the Severance Payments that have been paid to the Executive pursuant to this Section 3.2(a).  Subject to the foregoing and Section 3.2(e), the Severance Payments will commence to be paid to the Executive on the forty-fifth (45th) day following the Executive’s termination of employment, except that the Pro-Rata Bonus shall be paid at the time when annual bonuses are paid generally to the Company’s senior executives for the year in which the Executive’s termination of employment occurs.

 

(b)                                 Change in Control Termination.   If (A) (i) the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or Disability, or (ii) the Executive resigns for Good Reason, and such termination or resignation described in (i) or (ii) of this Clause (A) occurs within the one (1) year period following a Change in Control, or (B) the Executive’s termination or resignation is a Change in Control Related Termination, then, in addition to the Severance Payments described in Section 3.2(a), the Executive shall also be entitled to (I) the continuation of Executive’s Base Salary at the rate in effect immediately prior to the date of termination or resignation (determined without regard to any reduction in Base Salary subsequent to the Change in Control or in connection with the Change in Control Related Termination) for a period of twelve (12) months  (or, if earlier, until and including the month in which the Executive attains age 70) commencing on the one (1) year anniversary of the date of termination or resignation (the “Additional Severance Period”), (II) a payment each month during the Severance Period and the Additional Severance Period equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the target Annual Bonus for the year in which the Executive’s termination or resignation occurs (determined without regard to any reduction in Base Salary or target Annual Bonus percentage subsequent to the Change in Control or in connection with the Change in Control Related Termination) and (III) the continuation of the Welfare Benefits for the twelve (12) month period commencing on the one (1) year anniversary of the date of termination or resignation or, if earlier, until such time as the Executive becomes eligible for Welfare Benefits from a subsequent employer (the “Additional Welfare Benefit Continuation Period”).  Amounts received pursuant to this Section 3.2(b) shall be deemed to be included in the term Severance Payments for purposes of this Employment Agreement.

 

(c)                                  Retirement.  Upon Retirement, the Executive, whether or not Section 3.2(a) also applies but without duplication of benefits, shall be entitled to (i) a Pro-Rata Bonus, (ii) to the extent permitted pursuant to the applicable plans, the continuation on the

 

4

 

same terms as an active employee of Welfare Benefits the Executive would otherwise be eligible to receive as an active employee of the Company for twenty-four (24) months following the date of the Executive’s Retirement or, if earlier, until such time as the Executive becomes eligible for Welfare Benefits from a subsequent employer and, thereafter, shall be eligible to continue participation in the Company’s Welfare Benefits plans, provided that such continued participation shall be entirely at the Executive’s expense and shall cease when the Executive becomes eligible for Welfare Benefits from a subsequent employer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) if the Executive is not permitted to continue participation in the Company’s Welfare Benefit plans pursuant to the terms of such plans or pursuant to a determination by the Company’s insurance providers or such continued participation in any plan would result in the plan being discriminatory within the meaning of Section 4980D of the Code, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to obtain individual insurance policies providing the Welfare Benefits to the Executive for such twenty-four (24) months, but shall only be required to pay for such policies an amount equal to the amount the Company would have paid had the Executive continued participation in the Company’s Welfare Benefit plans; provided, that, if such coverage cannot be obtained, the Company shall pay to the Executive monthly for such twenty-four (24) months an amount equal to the amount the Company would have paid had the Executive continued participation in the Company’s Welfare Benefits plans and (y) any Welfare Benefits coverage provided pursuant to this Section 3.2(b), whether through the Company’s Welfare Benefit plans or through individual insurance policies, shall be supplemental to any benefits for which the Executive becomes eligible under Medicare, whether or not the Executive actually obtains such Medicare coverage.  The Pro-Rata Bonus shall be paid at the time when annual bonuses are paid generally to the Company’s senior executives for the year in which the Executive’s Retirement occurs.

 

(d)                                 Definitions.  For purposes of this Section 3.2, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

(1)                                 A resignation for “Good Reason” shall mean a resignation by the Executive within thirty (30) days following the date on which the Company has engaged in any of the following:  (i) the assignment of duties or responsibilities to the Executive that reflect a material diminution of the Executive’s position with the Company; (ii) a relocation of the Executive’s principal place of employment that increases the Executive’s commute by more than fifty (50) miles; or (iii) a reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary, other than across-the-board reductions applicable to similarly situated employees of the Company; provided, however, that the Executive must provide the Company with notice promptly following the occurrence of any of the foregoing and at least thirty (30) days to cure.

 

(2)                                 “Cause” shall mean that the Executive has engaged in any of the following:  (i) willful misconduct or breach of fiduciary duty; (ii) intentional failure or refusal to perform reasonably assigned duties after written notice of such willful failure or refusal and the failure or refusal is not corrected within ten (10) business days; (iii) the indictment for, conviction of or entering a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a crime constituting a felony (other than a traffic violation or other offense or violation outside of the course of employment which does not adversely affect the Company and its Affiliates or their reputation or the ability of the Executive to perform Executive’s employment-related duties or to represent the Company and its Affiliates); provided, however, that (A) if the Executive is

 

5

 

terminated for Cause by reason of Executive’s indictment pursuant to this clause (iii) and the indictment is subsequently dismissed or withdrawn or the Executive is found to be not guilty in a court of law in connection with such indictment, then the Executive’s termination shall be treated for purposes of this Employment Agreement as a termination by the Company other than for Cause, and the Executive will be entitled to receive (without duplication of benefits and to the extent permitted by law and the terms of the then-applicable Welfare Benefits plans) the payments and benefits set forth in Section 3.2(a) and, to the extent either or both are applicable, Section 3.2(b) and Section 3.2(c), following such dismissal, withdrawal or finding, payable in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in such Sections and (B) if such indictment relates to environmental matters and does not allege that the Executive was directly involved in or directly supervised the action(s) forming the basis of the indictment, Cause shall not be deemed to exist under this Employment Agreement by reason of such indictment until the Executive is convicted or enters a plea of guilty or nolo contendere in connection with such indictment; or (iv) material breach of the Executive’s covenants in Section 4 of this Employment Agreement or any material written policy of the Company or any Affiliate after written notice of such breach and failure by the Executive to correct such breach within ten (10) business days, provided that no notice of, nor opportunity to correct, such breach shall be required hereunder if such breach cannot be cured by the Executive.

 

(3)                                 “Change in Control” shall have the meaning set forth on Appendix A.

 

(4)                                 “Change in Control Related Termination” shall mean a termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company other than for Cause or Executive’s resignation for Good Reason, in each case at any time prior to the date of a Change in Control and (A) the Executive reasonably demonstrates that such termination or the basis for resignation for Good Reason occurred in anticipation of a transaction that, if consummated, would constitute a Change in Control, (B) such termination or the basis for resignation for Good Reason occurred after the Company entered into a definitive agreement, the consummation of which would constitute a Change in Control or (C) the Executive reasonably demonstrates that such termination or the basis for resignation for Good Reason was implemented at the request of a third party who has indicated an intention or has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control.

 

(5)                                 “Disability” shall mean the Executive’s inability, due to physical or mental ill health, to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s job, with or without a reasonable accommodation, for 180 days during any 365 day period irrespective of whether such days are consecutive.

 

(6)                                 “Pro-Rata Bonus” shall mean, the product of (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Executive is employed by the Company during the year in which the Executive’s employment terminates pursuant to Section 3.2(a) or (c) prior to and including the date of the Executive’s termination and the denominator of which is 365 and (B) an amount for that year equal to the Annual Bonus the Executive would have been entitled to receive had her employment not terminated, based on the actual performance of the Company or the Executive, as applicable, for the full year.

(7)                                 “Retirement” shall mean the Executive’s termination or resignation of employment for any reason (other than by the Company for Cause or by reason of the Executive’s death) following the date the Executive attains age 62.

 

(e)                                  Section 409A.  To the extent applicable, this Employment Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and operated in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury regulations and other guidance issued thereunder. If on the date of the Executive’s separation from service (as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h)) with the Company the Executive is a specified employee (as defined in Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(i)), no payment constituting the “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b) and after application of the exemptions provided in Treasury Regulation §§1.409A-1(b)(4) and 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) shall be made to Executive at any time during the six (6) month period following the Executive’s separation from service, and any such amounts deferred such six (6) months shall instead be paid in a lump sum on the first payroll payment date following expiration of such six (6) month period. For purposes of conforming this Employment Agreement to Section 409A of the Code, the parties agree that any reference to termination of employment, severance from employment, resignation from employment or similar terms shall mean and be interpreted as a “separation from service” as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h).

 

3.3.                            Exclusive Remedy.  The foregoing payments upon termination or resignation of the Executive’s employment shall constitute the exclusive severance payments due the Executive upon a termination or resignation of Executive’s employment under this Employment Agreement.

 

3.4.                            Resignation from All Positions.  Upon the termination or resignation of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive shall be deemed to have resigned, as of the date of such termination or resignation, from and with respect to all positions the Executive then holds as an officer, director, employee and member of the Board of Directors (and any committee thereof) of the Company and any of its Affiliates.

 

3.5.                            Cooperation.  For one (1) year following the termination or resignation of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company upon reasonable request of the Board and to be reasonably available to the Company with respect to matters arising out of the Executive’s services to the Company and its Affiliates, provided, however, such period of cooperation shall be for three (3) years, following any such termination or resignation of Executive’s employment for any reason, with respect to tax matters involving the Company or any of its Affiliates.  The Company shall reimburse the Executive for expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such matters as agreed by the Executive and the Board and the Company shall compensate the Executive for such cooperation at an hourly rate based on the Executive’s most recent base salary rate assuming two thousand (2,000) working hours per year; provided, that if the Executive is required to spend more than forty (40) hours in any month on Company matters pursuant to this Section 3.5, the Executive and the Board shall mutually agree to an appropriate rate of compensation for the Executive’s time over such forty (40) hour threshold.

4.1.                            Unauthorized Disclosure.  The Executive agrees and understands that in the Executive’s position with the Company and any Affiliates, the Executive has been and will be exposed to and has and will receive information relating to the confidential affairs of the Company and its Affiliates, including, without limitation, technical information, intellectual property, business and marketing plans, strategies, customer information, software, other information concerning the products, promotions, development, financing, expansion plans, business policies and practices of the Company and its Affiliates and other forms of information considered by the Company and its Affiliates to be confidential and in the nature of trade secrets (including, without limitation, ideas, research and development, know-how, formulas, technical data, designs, drawings, specifications, customer and supplier lists, pricing and cost information and business and marketing plans and proposals) (collectively, the “Confidential Information”); provided, however, that Confidential Information shall not include information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public not in violation of this Employment Agreement or any written policy of the Company; or (ii) was in the Executive’s possession or knowledge on a non-confidential basis prior to such disclosure.  The Executive agrees that at all times during the Executive’s employment with the Company and thereafter, the Executive shall not disclose such Confidential Information, either directly or indirectly, to any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, trust or other entity or organization, including a government or political subdivision or an agency or instrumentality thereof (each, for purposes of this Section 4, a “Person”) without the prior written consent of the Company and shall not use or attempt to use any such information in any manner other than in connection with Executive’s employment with the Company, unless required by law to disclose such information, in which case the Executive shall provide the Company with written notice of such requirement as far in advance of such anticipated disclosure as possible.  Executive’s confidentiality covenant has no temporal, geographical or territorial restriction.  Upon termination or resignation of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall promptly supply to the Company all property, keys, notes, memoranda, writings, lists, files, reports, customer lists, correspondence, tapes, disks, cards, surveys, maps, logs, machines, technical data and any other tangible product or document which has been produced by, received by or otherwise submitted to the Executive during or prior to the Executive’s employment with the Company, and any copies thereof in Executive’s (or capable of being reduced to Executive’s) possession.

 

4.2.                            Non-Competition.  By and in consideration of the Company’s entering into this Employment Agreement and the payments to be made and benefits to be provided by the Company hereunder, and in further consideration of the Executive’s exposure to the Confidential Information of the Company and its Affiliates, the Executive agrees that the Executive shall not, during the Term and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter (the “Restriction Period”), directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, be employed by, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be connected in any manner with, including, without limitation, holding any position as a stockholder, director, officer, consultant, independent contractor, employee, partner, or investor in, any Restricted Enterprise (as defined below); provided, that in no event shall ownership of one percent (1%) or less of the outstanding securities of any class of any issuer whose securities are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), standing alone, be

 

8

 

prohibited by this Section 4.2, so long as the Executive does not have, or exercise, any rights to manage or operate the business of such issuer other than rights as a stockholder thereof.  For purposes of this paragraph, “Restricted Enterprise” shall mean any Person that is actively engaged in any business which is either (i) in competition with the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates conducted during the preceding twelve (12) months (or following the Term, the twelve (12) months preceding the last day of the Term), or (ii) proposed to be conducted by the Company or any of its Affiliates in the Company’s or Affiliate’s business plan as in effect at that time (or following the Term, the business plan as in effect as of the last day of the Term); provided, that (x) with respect to any Person that is actively engaged in the refinery business, a Restricted Enterprise shall only include such a Person that operates or markets in any geographic area in which the Company or any of its Affiliates operates or markets with respect to its refinery business and (y) with respect to any Person that is actively engaged in the fertilizer business, a Restricted Enterprise shall only include such a Person that operates or markets in any geographic area in which the Company or any of its Affiliates operates or markets with respect to its fertilizer business.  During the Restriction Period, upon request of the Company, the Executive shall notify the Company of the Executive’s then-current employment status.  For the avoidance of doubt, a Restricted Enterprise shall not include any Person or division thereof that is engaged in the business of supplying (but not refining) crude oil or natural gas.

 

4.3.                            Non-Solicitation of Employees.  During the Restriction Period, the Executive shall not directly or indirectly contact, induce or solicit (or assist any Person to contact, induce or solicit) for employment any person who is, or within twelve (12) months prior to the date of such solicitation was, an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

 

4.4.                            Non-Solicitation of Customers/Suppliers.  During the Restriction Period, the Executive shall not (i) contact, induce or solicit (or assist any Person to contact, induce or solicit) any Person which has a business relationship with the Company or of any of its Affiliates in order to terminate, curtail or otherwise interfere with such business relationship or (ii) solicit, other than on behalf of the Company and its Affiliates, any Person that the Executive knows or should have known (x) is a current customer of the Company or any of its Affiliates in any geographic area in which the Company or any of its Affiliates operates or markets or (y) is a Person in any geographic area in which the Company or any of its Affiliates operates or markets with respect to which the Company or any of its Affiliates has, within the twelve (12) months prior to the date of such solicitation, devoted more than de minimis resources in an effort to cause such Person to become a customer of the Company or any of its Affiliates in that geographic area.  For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing does not preclude the Executive from soliciting, outside of the geographic areas in which the Company or any of its Affiliates operates or markets, any Person that is a customer or potential customer of the Company or any of its Affiliates in the geographic areas in which it operates or markets.

 

4.5.                            Extension of Restriction Period.  The Restriction Period shall be extended for a period of time equal to any period during which the Executive is in breach of any of Sections 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 hereof.

 

4.6.                            Proprietary Rights.  The Executive shall disclose promptly to the Company any and all inventions, discoveries, and improvements (whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes), and all patentable or copyrightable works,

initiated, conceived, discovered, reduced to practice, or made by Executive, either alone or in conjunction with others, during the Executive’s employment with the Company and related to the business or activities of the Company and its Affiliates (the “Developments”).  Except to the extent any rights in any Developments constitute a work made for hire under the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. that are owned ab initio by the Company and/or its applicable Affiliates, the Executive assigns all of Executive’s right, title and interest in all Developments (including all intellectual property rights therein) to the Company or its nominee without further compensation, including all rights or benefits therefor, including without limitation the right to sue and recover for past and future infringement.  The Executive acknowledges that any rights in any developments constituting a work made for hire under the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C § 101 et seq. are owned upon creation by the Company and/or its applicable Affiliates as the Executive’s employer.  Whenever requested to do so by the Company, the Executive shall execute any and all applications, assignments or other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary to apply for and obtain trademarks, patents or copyrights of the United States or any foreign country or otherwise protect the interests of the Company and its Affiliates therein.  These obligations shall continue beyond the end of the Executive’s employment with the Company with respect to inventions, discoveries, improvements or copyrightable works initiated, conceived or made by the Executive while employed by the Company, and shall be binding upon the Executive’s employers, assigns, executors, administrators and other legal representatives.  In connection with Executive’s execution of this Employment Agreement, the Executive has informed the Company in writing of any interest in any inventions or intellectual property rights that Executive holds as of the date hereof.  If the Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to obtain the Executive’s signature on any document needed in connection with the actions described in this Section 4.6, the Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company, its Affiliates, and their duly authorized officers and agents as the Executive’s agent and attorney in fact to act for and in the Executive’s behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of this Section with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Executive.

 

4.7.                            Confidentiality of Agreement.  Other than with respect to information required to be disclosed by applicable law, the parties hereto agree not to disclose the terms of this Employment Agreement to any Person; provided the Executive may disclose this Employment Agreement and/or any of its terms to the Executive’s immediate family, financial advisors and attorneys.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.7 to the contrary, the parties hereto (and each of their respective employees, representatives, or other agents) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Employment Agreement, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) related to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that this sentence shall not permit any Person to disclose the name of, or other information that would identify, any party to such transactions or to disclose confidential commercial information regarding such transactions.

 

4.8.                            Remedies.  The Executive agrees that any breach of the terms of this Section 4 would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Company and its Affiliates for which the Company and its Affiliates would have no adequate remedy at law; the Executive therefore also agrees that in the event of said breach or any threat of breach, the Company and its Affiliates shall be entitled to an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such

 

10

 

breach and/or threatened breach and/or continued breach by the Executive and/or any and all Persons acting for and/or with the Executive, without having to prove damages, in addition to any other remedies to which the Company and its Affiliates may be entitled at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the obligation of the Executive to return any Severance Payments made by the Company to the Company.  The terms of this paragraph shall not prevent the Company or its Affiliates from pursuing any other available remedies for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including, without limitation, the recovery of damages from the Executive.  The Executive and the Company further agree that the provisions of the covenants contained in this Section 4 are reasonable and necessary to protect the businesses of the Company and its Affiliates because of the Executive’s access to Confidential Information and Executive’s material participation in the operation of such businesses.

 

Section 5.                                           Representation.

 

The Executive represents and warrants that (i) Executive is not subject to any contract, arrangement, policy or understanding, or to any statute, governmental rule or regulation, that in any way limits Executive’s ability to enter into and fully perform Executive’s obligations under this Employment Agreement and (ii) Executive is not otherwise unable to enter into and fully perform Executive’s obligations under this Employment Agreement.

 

Section 6.                                           Withholding.

 

All amounts paid to the Executive under this Employment Agreement during or following the Term shall be subject to withholding and other employment taxes imposed by applicable law.

 

Section 7.                                           Effect of Section 280G of the Code.

 

7.1.                            Payment Reduction.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Employment Agreement to the contrary, (i) to the extent that any payment or distribution of any type to or for the Executive by the Company, any affiliate of the Company, any Person who acquires ownership or effective control of the Company or ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder), or any affiliate of such Person, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Employment Agreement or otherwise (the “Payments”) constitute “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), and if (ii) such aggregate would, if reduced by all federal, state and local taxes applicable thereto, including the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), be less than the amount the Executive would receive, after all taxes, if the Executive received aggregate Payments equal (as valued under Section 280G of the Code) to only three times the Executive’s “base amount” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), less $1.00, then (iii) such Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) if and to the extent necessary so that no Payments to be made or benefit to be provided to the Executive shall be subject to the Excise Tax; provided, however, that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain shareholder approval of the Payments provided for in this Employment Agreement in a manner intended to satisfy requirements of the “shareholder approval” exception to Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, such that payment may be made to the

 

11

 

Executive of such Payments without the application of an Excise Tax.  If the Payments are so reduced, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Payments (x) by first reducing or eliminating the portion of the Payments which are not payable in cash (other than that portion of the Payments subject to clause (z) hereof), (y) then by reducing or eliminating cash payments (other than that portion of the Payments subject to clause (z) hereof) and (z) then by reducing or eliminating the portion of the Payments (whether payable in cash or not payable in cash) to which Treasury Regulation § 1.280G-1 Q/A 24(c) (or successor thereto) applies, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time.

 

7.2.                            Determination of Amount of Reduction (if any).  The determination of whether the Payments shall be reduced as provided in Section 7.1 and the amount of such reduction shall be made at the Company’s expense by an accounting firm selected by the Company from among the four (4) largest accounting firms in the United States (the “Accounting Firm”).  The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the “Determination”), together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation, to the Company and the Executive within ten (10) days after the Executive’s final day of employment.  If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive with respect to the Payments, it shall furnish the Executive with an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Executive that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to any such payments and, absent manifest error, such Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Company and the Executive.

 

Section 8.                                           Miscellaneous.

 

8.1.                            Amendments and Waivers.  This Employment Agreement and any of the provisions hereof may be amended, waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), modified or supplemented, in whole or in part, only by written agreement signed by the parties hereto; provided, that, the observance of any provision of this Employment Agreement may be waived in writing by the party that will lose the benefit of such provision as a result of such waiver.  The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Employment Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach, except as otherwise explicitly provided for in such waiver.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder, or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

 

8.2.                            Fees and Expenses.  The Company shall pay all legal fees and related expenses (including the costs of experts, evidence and counsel) incurred by the Executive as a result of (i) the termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or the resignation by the Executive for Good Reason (including all such fees and expenses, if any, incurred in contesting, defending or disputing the basis for any such termination or resignation of employment) or (b) the Executive seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by this Employment Agreement; provided, that, if it is determined that the Executive’s termination

 

12

 

of employment was for Cause, the Executive shall not be entitled to any payment or reimbursement pursuant to this Section 8.2.

 

8.3.                            Indemnification.  To the extent provided in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as in effect from time to time, and subject to any separate agreement (if any) between the Company and the Executive regarding indemnification, the Company shall indemnify the Executive for losses or damages incurred by the Executive as a result of causes of action arising from the Executive’s performance of duties for the benefit of the Company, whether or not the claim is asserted during the Term.

 

8.4.                            Assignment.  This Employment Agreement, and the Executive’s rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned by the Executive, and any purported assignment by the Executive in violation hereof shall be null and void.

 

8.5.                            Payments Following Executive’s Death.  Any amounts payable to the Executive pursuant to this Employment Agreement that remain unpaid at the Executive’s death shall be paid to the Executive’s estate.

 

8.6.                            Notices.  Unless otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications provided for under the terms of this Employment Agreement shall be in writing.

APPENDIX A

 

For all times until and including May 3, 2012, “Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:

 

(a)                                 An acquisition (other than directly from the Company) of any voting securities of the Company (the “Voting Securities”) by any “Person” (as the term “person” is used for purposes of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act), immediately after which such Person has “Beneficial Ownership” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of more than thirty percent (30%) of (i) the then-outstanding Shares or (ii) the combined voting power of the Company’s then-outstanding Voting Securities; provided, however, that in determining whether a Change in Control has occurred pursuant to this paragraph (a), the acquisition of Shares or Voting Securities in a Non-Control Acquisition (as hereinafter defined) shall not constitute a Change in Control.  A “Non-Control Acquisition” shall mean an acquisition by (i) an employee benefit plan (or a trust forming a part thereof) maintained by (A) the Company or (B) any corporation or other Person the majority of the voting power, voting equity securities or equity interest of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company (for purposes of this definition, a “Related Entity”), (ii) the Company or any Related Entity, or (iii) any Person in connection with a Non-Control Transaction (as hereinafter defined);

 

(b)                                 The consummation of:

 

(i)                                     A merger, consolidation or reorganization (x) with or into the Company or (y) in which securities of the Company are issued (a “Merger”), unless such Merger is a “Non-Control Transaction.”  A “Non-Control Transaction” shall mean a Merger in which:

 

(A)                               the shareholders of the Company immediately before such Merger own directly or indirectly immediately following such Merger at least a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of (1) the corporation resulting from such Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”), if fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities by the Surviving Corporation is not Beneficially Owned, directly or indirectly, by another Person (a “Parent Corporation”) or (2) if there is one or more than one Parent Corporation, the ultimate Parent Corporation;

 

(B)                               the individuals who were members of the Board immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing for such Merger constitute at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of (1) the Surviving Corporation, if there is no Parent Corporation, or (2) if there is one or more than one Parent Corporation, the ultimate Parent Corporation; and

 

(C)                               no Person other than (1) the Company or another corporation that is a party to the agreement of Merger, (2) any Related Entity, (3) any employee benefit plan (or any trust forming a part thereof) that, immediately prior to the Merger, was maintained by the Company or any Related Entity, or (4) any Person who, immediately prior to the Merger, had Beneficial Ownership of thirty percent (30%) or more of the then outstanding Shares or Voting Securities, has Beneficial Ownership, directly or indirectly, of thirty percent (30%) or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities or common stock of (x) the

 

 

Surviving Corporation, if there is no Parent Corporation, or (y) if there is one or more than one Parent Corporation, the ultimate Parent Corporation.

 

(ii)                                  A complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or

 

(iii)                               The sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any Person (other than (x) a transfer to a Related Entity or (y) the distribution to the Company’s shareholders of the stock of a Related Entity or any other assets).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any Person (the “Subject Person”) acquired Beneficial Ownership of more than the permitted amount of the then outstanding Shares or Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Shares or Voting Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of Shares or Voting Securities then outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares Beneficially Owned by the Subject Persons; provided that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition of Shares or Voting Securities by the Company and, after such share acquisition by the Company, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of any additional Shares or Voting Securities and such Beneficial Ownership increases the percentage of the then outstanding Shares or Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, then a Change in Control shall occur.

 

For purposes of this definition, the term “Shares” means the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company and any other securities into which such shares are changed or for which such shares are exchanged.

 

From and after May 4, 2013, “Change of Control” means at any time any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) other than Icahn Enterprises L.P. and/or its Affiliates shall become the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13(d)-3 and 13(d)-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the aggregate outstanding common stock of the Company.Exhibit 10.2

ARTICLE 2
 TENOR OF THE AGREEMENT

 

During the Term of this Agreement, the Parties will enter into numerous transactions for the purchase and sale of Crude Oil.  The Transfer Price for Transactions shall be a floating price based on the mutually agreed index of market prices (adjusted for contract differentials and index rolls), plus Vitol’s costs to acquire and deliver Crude Oil, and plus the Origination Fee, all as more specifically set forth in Article 9.  It is the intention of the Parties that Vitol shall employ its global crude oil supply and distribution organization in an endeavor to identify and present to Coffeyville opportunities for Vitol to purchase for Coffeyville domestic, foreign and Canadian crude oil.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Coffeyville shall also have the right to identify and negotiate the terms and prices of Crude Oil to be acquired hereunder and present such Transactions to Vitol for execution thereof; provided  that, such Transactions are in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  Vitol shall not include any assessments for general marketing overhead to the Transfer Price.  While Coffeyville intends to take responsibility to acquire Gathered Crude in its own name and on its own behalf, Vitol shall retain the right to present opportunities to Coffeyville for domestic Crude Oil.  The Parties shall mutually cooperate in coordinating such Crude Oil supply activities so as to avoid pricing and logistic disruptions associated with both Coffeyville and Vitol approaching the same potential suppliers and shippers.  Coffeyville shall maintain the right to conduct market enquiries; however, regardless of whether the opportunity is identified by Vitol or Coffeyville, all Crude Oil shall be purchased by Vitol from the Counterparty and resold to Coffeyville pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  For greater certainty, Vitol shall have the sole right to hold, transport and sell all of its Crude Oil as it deems fit, and in no event shall Coffeyville be entitled to claim ownership rights in any Crude Oil until purchased by Coffeyville in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vitol shall be obligated to supply Crude Oil of equal quantity and of the same quality and grade at the applicable Transfer Price and at the time designated by Coffeyville for any Crude Oil acquired or agreed to be dedicated in anticipation of supply to Coffeyville pursuant to this Agreement; such obligation to supply being subject to Coffeyville’s compliance with nomination, payment and all other terms of this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 3
  TERM OF AGREEMENT

 

3.1                               Initial Term.  This Agreement shall become effective on the Commencement Date and shall continue until December 31, 2014 (“Initial Term”), unless (i) terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (ii) terminated by Coffeyville at its sole and absolute discretion by written notice to Vitol provided on or before May 1, 2013, which termination would be effective December 31, 2013.

 

3.2                               Renewal.

14

 

PORTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT DENOTED WITH THREE ASTERISKS (***) HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 

the Initial Term or the then current Renewal Term, as the case may be.  The Initial Term and the Renewal Terms, if any, shall constitute the “Term” of this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 4
 SALE OF CRUDE OIL TO COFFEYVILLE

 

4.1                               Supply of Crude Oil.  Beginning on the Commencement Date and subject to the availability of supply, Vitol agrees to locate Crude Oil opportunities for Coffeyville consistent with Coffeyville’s nominations made pursuant to Article 7.  Vitol shall supply such Crude Oil to Coffeyville and Coffeyville agrees to purchase such Crude Oil from Vitol pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  In no event, however, shall Coffeyville have the right to claim an ownership interest in any volumes of Crude Oil prior to the transfer of title thereof pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.3.  At all times prior to such transfer of title, Vitol shall have the exclusive right to store, transport or resell such Crude Oil, as it deems fit.

 

4.2                               Exclusive Use.  Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Vitol will, during the Term, have (a) the sole and exclusive right to store Crude Oil in the Designated Tanks, and (b) the right to access the Designated Tanks to remove Crude Oil.  Coffeyville shall have the right to add tanks to the list of Designated Tanks and/or delete tanks from the list of Designated Tanks upon delivery of not less than five (5) days prior written notice to Vitol.  If a tank is to be removed from the list of Designated Tanks, Vitol shall remove all Crude Oil from such tank prior to the change in status thereof.  If such Crude Oil is not transferred to another Designated Tank, any sale of such Crude Oil to a party other than Coffeyville shall be deemed to be a Third Party Sale Transaction subject to the provisions of Section 6.2.  All Third Party Sale Transactions shall be made in a commercially reasonable manner with commercially reasonable terms and conditions.

 

4.3                               Exclusive Supplier.  Except for Gathered Crude, Vitol shall be the exclusive supplier of crude oil to Coffeyville during the Term.  Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, Crude Oil supplied under this Agreement shall be solely for use at the Refineries.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.3, if Vitol does not supply Crude Oil to Coffeyville in accordance with the Monthly Crude Nomination, for whatever reason, Coffeyville shall have the full and complete right to acquire such volumes of Crude Oil from any Person for processing in the Refineries and this Agreement shall not apply to such purchases by Coffeyville, except that any Crude Oil so purchased by Coffeyville may not be commingled with any Crude Oil held by Vitol other than in connection with the exercise of Coffeyville’s Operational Rights.

 

4.4                               Identification of Supply.  Coffeyville and Vitol shall mutually cooperate to identify and negotiate supply arrangements with Counterparties that are consistent with Coffeyville’s nominations made pursuant to Article 7.  Prior to the acquisition of any Crude Oil Lots, the Parties shall agree to the quantity and quality of Crude Oil desired by Coffeyville.  In the event that such supply opportunities are identified by Coffeyville,

 

15

 

PORTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT DENOTED WITH THREE ASTERISKS (***) HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 

Coffeyville shall promptly inform Vitol of the opportunity and Vitol shall enter into one or more Third Party Contracts on Coffeyville’s behalf.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vitol shall have the right to reject such proposed opportunity if it determines, in its commercially reasonable discretion, that such Third Party Contract (a) is not structured in accordance with standard industry practices or on commercially marketable terms, (b) is not with a permissible Counterparty under Applicable Law, or (c) exposes Vitol to unacceptable credit or performance risk.  In the event that a supply opportunity is identified by Vitol, Vitol will present the opportunity to Coffeyville for its approval, and Coffeyville will promptly advise Vitol in writing (via facsimile or e-mail) whether it accepts such opportunity.  If Coffeyville fails to accept such opportunity within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt of Vitol’s notice, Coffeyville shall be deemed to have rejected such supply opportunity.  Vitol shall supply Coffeyville with Crude Oil conforming to the delivery schedule and the quantity, quality and grade requirements, all as specified by Coffeyville pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that Coffeyville shall have no right to, or claim upon, any particular volume of Crude Oil held by Vitol.

 

4.5          Acknowledgment.  Coffeyville acknowledges and agrees that (a) Vitol is a merchant of crude oil and may, from time to time, be dealing with prospective Counterparties, or pursuing trading or hedging strategies, in connection with aspects of Vitol’s business which are unrelated hereto and that such dealings and such trading or hedging strategies may be different from or opposite to those being pursued by or for Coffeyville; (b) Vitol may, in its sole discretion, determine whether to advise Coffeyville of any potential transaction with a Counterparty and prior to advising Coffeyville of any such potential transaction Vitol may, in its discretion, determine not to pursue such transaction or to pursue such transaction in connection with another aspect of Vitol’s business and Vitol shall have no liability of any nature to Coffeyville as a result of any such determination; (c) Vitol has no fiduciary or trust obligations of any nature with respect to the Refineries or Coffeyville, subject to the provisions herein regarding confidentiality set forth in Article 21 and provided, however, that Vitol shall have the obligation to keep confidential non-public information related to Crude Oil acquisitions by Coffeyville, and the obligation to execute Third Party Contracts in a manner consistent with this Agreement; (d) Vitol may enter into transactions and purchase crude oil for its own account or the account of others at prices more favorable than those being paid by Coffeyville hereunder and (e) nothing herein shall be construed to prevent Vitol, or any of its partners, officers, employees or Affiliates, in any way from purchasing, selling or otherwise trading in crude oil or any other commodity for its or their own account or for the account of others, whether prior to, simultaneously with, or subsequent to any transaction under this Agreement.

If Coffeyville has negotiated an offer from a Counterparty for a quantity of Crude Oil that Coffeyville wishes to have Vitol acquire, Coffeyville may indicate to such Counterparty the conditional acceptance of such offer, which conditional acceptance shall be specifically subject to obtaining the agreement of Vitol to such offer.  Promptly after giving such conditional acceptance, Coffeyville shall apprise Vitol in writing of the terms of such offer, and Vitol shall promptly determine and advise Coffeyville as to whether Vitol agrees to accept such offer.  If Vitol indicates its desire to accept such offer, then Vitol shall promptly formally communicate its acceptance of such offer directly to such Counterparty (with a copy to Coffeyville), resulting in a binding Third Party Contract between Vitol and such Counterparty.

5.5          WARRANTY OF TITLE; WARRANTY DISCLAIMER.  VITOL FULLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WARRANTS THAT IT HAS CLEAR, GOOD AND MERCHANTABLE TITLE TO ALL CRUDE OIL SOLD TO COFFEYVILLE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT VITOL WILL FULLY AND COMPLETELY INDEMNIFY COFFEYVILLE FROM AND AGAINST ANY

To the extent that Coffeyville believes that any claim should be made by Vitol for the account of Coffeyville against any third party (whether a Counterparty, terminal facility, pipeline, storage facility or otherwise), Vitol will take any commercially reasonable actions as requested by Coffeyville either directly, or by allowing Coffeyville to do so, to prosecute such claim all at Coffeyville’s cost and expense and all recoveries resulting from the prosecution of such claim shall be for the account of Coffeyville.  Vitol shall, in a commercially reasonable manner, cooperate with Coffeyville in prosecuting any such claim and shall be entitled to assist in the prosecution of such claim at Coffeyville’s expense.  All costs, expenses and damages arising from such claim (including demurrage)  shall be solely for Coffeyville’s account except to the extent arising from Vitol’s negligence or willful misconduct, it being the express intention of the Parties that Coffeyville shall solely assume all performance and credit risk of such Person’s default or nonperformance, regardless of the reason therefore to the extent that such claims relate to the acquisition, transportation or handling of Crude Oil.  All amounts required to settle any claims pursuant hereto, shall be included in the Transportation and Direct Costs component of the Transfer Price.

(a)  The foregoing policies shall include an endorsement that the underwriters waive all rights of subrogation against Coffeyville.

 

(b)  Vitol shall cause its insurance carriers to furnish Coffeyville with insurance certificates, in a standard form and from a properly authorized party reasonably satisfactory to Coffeyville, evidencing the existence of the coverages and endorsements required.  The certificates shall specify that no insurance will be canceled during the term of this Agreement unless Coffeyville is given 30 days advance written notice prior to cancellation becoming effective.  Vitol also shall provide renewal certificates within thirty (30) days before expiration of the policy.

 

(c)  The mere purchase and existence of insurance does not reduce or release either Party from any liability incurred or assumed under this Agreement.

 

(d)  Vitol shall comply with all notice and reporting requirements in the foregoing policies and timely pay all premiums.

 

ARTICLE 6

6.6          Pipeline Nominations.

 

(a)  Responsibility of Vitol.  Prior to the beginning of each month of the Term, Vitol shall be responsible for making pipeline and terminal nominations for such month; provided  that, Vitol’s obligation to make such nominations shall be conditioned on its receiving from Coffeyville the Monthly Crude Nomination in time to comply with the lead times required by such pipelines and terminals.  Coffeyville shall provide to Vitol information in a timely manner in order to make such nominations or other scheduling actions.  Vitol shall not be responsible if a Pipeline System is unable to accept Vitol’s nomination or if the Pipeline System must allocate Crude Oil among its shippers, except to the extent that such non-acceptance is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Vitol.

 

20

 

PORTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT DENOTED WITH THREE ASTERISKS (***) HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 

(b)  Responsibility of Coffeyville.  Coffeyville shall have direct contact with the terminal and pipeline personnel and will direct, as Vitol’s agent, the daily transportation and blending of Crude Oil in such terminal.  Coffeyville shall indemnify and hold harmless Vitol for any and all Liabilities related to or arising out of such agency, and the Parties acknowledge and agree that the scope of such agency is strictly limited to the terms hereof.

 

(c)  Spearhead Pipeline Procedures.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all shipments of Crude Oil on the Spearhead Pipeline shall be subject to the procedures set forth in Schedule C.  The Spearhead Pipeline capacity that is subject to this Agreement shall only be used by Vitol for the benefit of Coffeyville.

 

(d)  TransCanada Keystone Pipeline.  Coffeyville and Vitol have entered into the following agreement with Keystone dated March 28, 2011, to wit: Notice and Acknowledgment of Authorization to Act (Keystone Pipeline System) (the “Keystone Agreement”), authorizing Vitol to act for and on behalf of Coffeyville regarding certain transactions on the Keystone Pipeline, including transportation pursuant to Coffeyville’s Transportation Services Agreement (“TSA”) with respect to the Keystone Pipeline. Vitol agrees that it shall only utilize such Keystone Pipeline transportation capacity for the benefit of Coffeyville, and that all rights related to the use of such Keystone Pipeline capacity (including but not limited to Keystone Pipeline allocation rights) shall be the sole and exclusive property of Coffeyville.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 16.5, Coffeyville and Vitol agree that the Keystone Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect thirty (30) days after the date that Keystone receives written notice of termination from either Coffeyville or Vitol; provided that, the Party giving such notice simultaneously provides notice thereof to the other Party.    All Crude Oil injected into the Keystone Pipeline by Vitol shall be owned exclusively by Vitol and Coffeyville agrees and acknowledges that Vitol shall have no obligation to Keystone, and assumes no liability with respect to any minimum throughput, deficiency fees, or similar obligations of Coffeyville to Keystone; provided, however, that Vitol shall fully and completely indemnify and hold harmless Coffeyville for any such Liabilities to Keystone to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by an Event of Default by Vitol under this Agreement or the failure of Vitol to comply with the terms of the Keystone tariff or the TSA.

ARTICLE 7
 NOMINATIONS

 

7.1          Monthly Nomination.  No later than the first (1st) day of each month during the Term, Coffeyville shall provide a preliminary nomination, via facsimile to Vitol, of the volume of Crude Oil it desires Vitol to purchase from Counterparties for the following month.  Such nomination shall specify the anticipated delivery of Crude Oil by volume and grade.  In addition, by the twenty-fifth (25th) day of each month during the Term, Coffeyville will advise Vitol via facsimile of its Crude Oil requirements for the Refinery for the following month (each, the “Monthly Crude Nomination”).  The Monthly Crude Nomination shall be consistent with the blending program established by Coffeyville with the Terminal Operators.

 

7.2          Daily Nomination.  By 10:30 a.m. CT of each Business Day, Coffeyville shall provide Vitol and the Terminal Operator with a nomination for Crude Oil to be delivered during the 24 hour period immediately following therefrom (the “Crude Oil Withdrawal”).  For each day that is not a Business Day, Coffeyville shall provide Vitol a nomination for each such non-Business Day during the immediately preceding Business Day.  The Parties acknowledge that for pricing purposes a Crude Oil Withdrawal may be comprised of multiple Crude Oil Lots or portions thereof.  Coffeyville shall nominate the oldest Crude Oil Lot in the event that there are two (2) or more Crude Oil Lots of the same crude oil grade available for delivery.

 

7.3          Changes to Nominations.  Coffeyville shall notify Vitol promptly upon learning of any material change in any previously provided projections or if it is necessary to reschedule any pipeline nominations confirmed by the applicable Terminal Operator.  Vitol shall schedule any changes in nominations through the applicable Terminal Operator, as necessary, and all costs associated therewith shall be for Coffeyville’s account, including any costs associated with resetting the applicable WTI Contracts to reflect such changes to the nominated volumes.

 

ARTICLE 8
 CRUDE OIL INSPECTION AND MEASUREMENT

 

8.1          Delivered Volumes.  The volume of all Crude Oil purchased and sold under this Agreement shall be based on the bill of lading volumes (the “B/L Volumes”) under the applicable Third Party Contracts.  Specifically, the B/L Volumes shall be equal to (a) in the case of FOB marine deliveries based on load port volumes, the quantity of Crude Oil specified in the applicable bill of lading, as determined by the Independent Inspector designated in the Third Party Contract, (b) in the case of marine deliveries based on delivered volumes, the quantity of Crude Oil discharged into shore tanks, as determined by the Independent Inspector designated in the Third Party Contract, and (c) in the case of pipeline deliveries, the pipeline meter ticket volumes received by Vitol under the applicable Third Party Contract.  The actual volume of Crude Oil delivered to Coffeyville at a Delivery Point shall be based on the pipeline meter ticket at the flange connection between the applicable delivering pipeline and the receiving storage facility at such Delivery Point.  Any differences between the applicable B/L Volumes and the actual

 

22

 

PORTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT DENOTED WITH THREE ASTERISKS (***) HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 

volumes delivered to Coffeyville at the Delivery Points shall be accounted for as Crude Oil Gains and Losses.

 

8.2          Quality of Delivered Volumes.  The quality of all volumes of Crude Oil delivered to Coffeyville hereunder shall be based on the determination of the Independent Inspector pursuant to the applicable Third Party Contract.  Vitol shall promptly deliver to Coffeyville a copy of each such Independent Inspector’s report.

 

8.3          Inspector’s Reports.  Certificates of quality and quantity countersigned by the Independent Inspector shall be final and binding on both Parties, absent manifest error or fraud.  Coffeyville shall instruct the Independent Inspector to retain samples of Crude Oil for a period of ninety (90) days from and after the date of each measurement.

 

8.4          Recalibration of Designated Tanks.  Vitol may, acting reasonably, require at any time that the Designated Tanks be recalibrated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 8.4.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that not less than once each calendar year, the Parties shall instruct the Independent Inspector to calibrate the Designated Tanks and measure the volume of Crude Oil contained therein.  The Independent Inspector’s report shall be distributed to each Party and the results therein shall be final and binding on the Parties, absent fraud or manifest error.  The Parties shall thereafter adjust its books and records to reflect the actual volumes of Crude Oil reflected in the Independent Inspector’s report.  If such volumes are not consistent with the B/L Volumes, any surplus or shortfall shall be accounted for as Crude Oil Gains and Losses.  All costs and fees related to the recalibration of the Designated Tanks shall be for Coffeyville’s account.

 

ARTICLE 9
 PRICE AND PAYMENT FOR CRUDE OIL

 

9.1          Crude Oil Purchase Price.  For each Crude Oil Lot to be delivered to the Delivery Points, Coffeyville shall pay Vitol an amount equal to the transfer price (the “Transfer Price”), which shall be equal to (***).  The provisions of this Article 9 are intended to apply only for pricing purposes and shall not be deemed or construed to alter the intention of the Parties that all Crude Oil shall be owned exclusively by Vitol until the passage of title occurs consistent with the provisions of Section 6.3.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Transfer Price for Transactions shall be a floating price based on the mutually agreed index of market prices (adjusted for contract differentials and WTI Price Rolls) plus Vitol’s costs to acquire and deliver Crude Oil, and plus the Origination Fee, all as more specifically set forth in Article 9, including but not limited to Section 9.3(b).  For purposes of such calculations, the following provisions shall apply:

 

(a)  WTI Price.  Not later than one (1) Business Day prior to the first (1st) day that the applicable Third Party Contract(s) commences pricing in accordance with the terms thereof, Coffeyville may nominate one or more WTI Contracts to be included in the Transfer Price as the WTI price (the “WTI Price”).  In the event that Coffeyville nominates more than one WTI Contract, Coffeyville will designate the percentage of the

 

23

 

PORTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT DENOTED WITH THREE ASTERISKS (***) HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 

Crude Oil Lot applicable to each WTI Contract, with the total of all such percentages to equal one hundred percent (100%).  If Coffeyville fails to nominate any WTI Contracts within such time frame, the second-line WTI Contract shall be deemed to be the WTI Price for the subject Crude Oil Lot.  The actual WTI Price used in calculating the Transfer Price shall be the settlement value published the first day following the date of delivery of the applicable Crude Oil Withdrawal.

 

(b)  WTI Price Rolls.  Coffeyville may at any time change a WTI Contract by notifying Vitol of the new WTI Contract.  The Parties shall mutually agree to the values applicable to any such changes to the applicable WTI Contract(s).  For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that Vitol shall not be required to enter into any such WTI Contracts on Coffeyville’s behalf or to deliver evidence of any such WTI Contracts to Coffeyville.  Rather, it is the intent of the Parties that any applicable rolls of WTI Contracts shall be accounted for in the valuation process of the WTI Differential.  Absent any instructions from Coffeyville to the contrary, the Parties agree that an expiring WTI Contract will roll to the next succeeding month contract, effective on the first (1st) Business Day prior to the day of expiration of such WTI Contract.  WTI rolls contemplated by this Section shall be executed at values mutually agreed to by the Parties.

 

(c)  WTI Differential.  The WTI differential (the “WTI Differential”) shall be equal to the difference between the Contract Price and the weighted average of the WTI Contract(s) corresponding to the subject Crude Oil Lot, or portion thereof, where the WTI Contract prices are the settlement prices over the days the Contract Price is determined.  The WTI Differential shall be amended, as necessary, to reflect the substitution or replacement of any WTI Contracts, to include, but not be limited to, WTI Price rolls pursuant to Section 9.1(b), and grade exchange differentials, if any.  All actual or deemed costs and fees related to any substitution or replacement of any WTI Contracts shall be for Coffeyville’s account.

 

(d)  Transportation and Direct Costs.  Transportation and direct costs (“Transportation and Direct Costs”) shall include all actual direct and indirect third party expenses and/or Agreed Costs associated with acquiring and moving Crude Oil from the acquisition point to the Delivery Points, including, but not limited to, freight, lightering, inspection fees, insurance, wharfage and dock fees, canal fees, port expenses and ship’s agent fees, export charges, customs duties and user fees, tariffs, Taxes (including harbor maintenance Taxes), any charges imposed by a Governmental Authority, tankage and throughput charges, broker’s fees, demurrage, pipeline loss allowances, terminal fees, Deemed L/C Fees.  For the sake of greater clarity and without limiting the previous sentence, Transportation and Direct Costs includes all actual direct and indirect third party expenses and/or Agreed Costs associated with the settlement or discharge of crude oil contracts for physical delivery where such physical contracts arise as a necessary and direct consequence of a Crude Oil Lot, including but not limited to exchange for difference contracts, location exchange contracts, and WTS-WTI buy-sell contracts.

9.2          Withdrawal Invoices.

 

(a)  Crude Oil Withdrawal Invoices.  With respect to each Crude Oil Withdrawal, Vitol shall prepare and deliver to Coffeyville a Crude Oil Withdrawal Invoice.  Such Crude Oil Withdrawal Invoice shall identify the actual volume and grade of Crude Oil delivered at the applicable Delivery Point.

 

(b)  Provisional Crude Oil Withdrawal Invoices.  In order to accommodate Coffeyville’s need to make Crude Oil Withdrawals during periods that may result in a payment day falling on a date that is not a Business Day, Vitol shall have the right to issue a Provisional Crude Oil Withdrawal Invoice with respect to any Crude Oil Withdrawal that is not documented in a Crude Oil Withdrawal Invoice.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vitol shall issue a Provisional Crude Oil Invoice only if the Required Number of Invoices to be Paid (as determined pursuant to paragraph (d) below) exceeds the number of outstanding Withdrawal Invoices.

 

(c )  Payment Days.  Each Crude Oil Withdrawal Invoice shall be due and payable in accordance with the number of payment days (the “Payment Days”) designated by Vitol in writing.  Vitol shall give Coffeyville written notice of the Payment Days (the “Notice of Payment Days”), which notice shall remain in effect until Vitol delivers a subsequent Notice of Payment Days.  As of the Commencement Date the Payment Days specified in the Notice of Payment Days attached hereto as Schedule E shall apply.  The provisions of this Section 9.2(c) shall only pertain, however, to Crude Oil Withdrawal Invoices and all other invoices (including any invoices issued pursuant to Section 9.6) shall be due and payable upon receipt.

 

(d) Payment of Withdrawal Invoices.  Each Business Day, Vitol shall calculate the number of Withdrawal Invoices that must be paid by Coffeyville (the “Required Number of Invoices to be Paid”) on such Business Day, as well as its forecast of the Required Number of Invoices to be Paid on the immediately following Business Day (which shall be provided for advisory purposes only).    Vitol shall deliver written notice of the foregoing calculations to Coffeyville, identifying the specific Withdrawal Invoices to be paid on the then current Business Day, which shall be based on the premise that the oldest Withdrawal Invoice shall be paid first.  The Required Number of Invoices to be Paid by Coffeyville as of the date of calculation shall be equal to:

 

(i)  the number of Withdrawal Invoices unpaid on the date of calculation; plus

 

(ii)  the number of Closed Days between the date of calculation and the next successive Business Day; plus

 

(iii)  the number of Accumulation Days as of the date of calculation; minus

 

(iv)  the number of Payment Days required by Vitol as of the date of calculation.

 

In the event that the Required Number of Invoices to be Paid exceeds the number of Withdrawal Invoices unpaid on the date of calculation, Vitol shall prepare and deliver to Coffeyville one or more Provisional Crude Oil Invoices so that the Required Number of Invoices to be Paid equals the number of Withdrawal

 

25

 

PORTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT DENOTED WITH THREE ASTERISKS (***) HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 

Invoices outstanding.  In the event that a Provisional Crude Oil Invoice is issued pursuant hereto, such invoice shall be due and payable on the date of issuance.

 

9.3          Calculation of the Transfer Price.

 

(a)  Invoice Calculations.  The purchase price set forth in the Withdrawal Invoice (the “Provisional Transfer Price”) shall be equal to the Transfer Price for the specified Crude Oil Withdrawal.  Vitol, acting reasonably, shall use its best estimates for calculating the Transportation and Direct Costs applicable to such Crude Oil Withdrawal to the extent that such amounts are not yet ascertainable.  Each Crude Oil Lot, or portion thereof, included in a Crude Oil Withdrawal shall be allocated on a first-in, first-out basis, and the Withdrawal Invoice shall be based on the Transfer Price applicable, on a volumetric basis, to each such Crude Oil Lot, or portion thereof.  Vitol shall use its best estimate of the trading price for purposes of calculating the WTI Price component of the Transfer Price.  In the event that two or more WTI Contracts apply to a Crude Oil Lot, the Provisional Transfer Price shall be computed using the WTI Contracts in sequential order beginning with the most prompt contract first.  The Parties acknowledge that the Provisional Transfer Price will be trued-up in accordance with Section 9.4 to reflect the actual Transfer Price based on the actual components set forth in Section 9.1.

 

(b)  Components of Transfer Price.  Prior to a Crude Oil Withdrawal of a Crude Oil Lot, or portion thereof, Vitol shall continuously update its books and records to reflect the best information available with respect to each component of the Transfer Price for such Crude Oil Lot, or portion thereof, including volume and costs.  Upon the occurrence of the first Crude Oil Withdrawal with respect to a Crude Oil Lot, or portion thereof, the Transportation and Direct Costs component of the Transfer Price for purposes of the Provisional Invoice shall be established and any subsequent revisions to the Transfer Price as a result of obtaining more accurate information with respect to the Transportation and Direct Costs shall be addressed in the true-up calculations pursuant to Section 9.4.  All other components of the Transfer Price (other than the Transportation and Direct Costs and the Origination Fee) shall be continually updated by Vitol and the best available information shall be used for purposes of calculating the Provisional Invoice.

 

9.4          True-Ups.  Once the volume of a Crude Oil Lot has been delivered to a Delivery Point or an Alternate Delivery Point and all pipeline statements related to such Crude Oil Lot have been received, Vitol shall prepare and deliver to Coffeyville an invoice (the “True-Up Invoice”) that corrects the Withdrawal Invoices previously issued related to such Crude Oil Lot to reflect the actual prices and actual volumes applicable to each component of the Transfer Price for each such Crude Oil Lot.  Vitol shall have the right to issue additional True-Up Invoices until all numbers are final and accurate.  In addition, if the actual volume of a Crude Oil Lot differs from the volumes used in calculating the Withdrawal Invoices, then the true-up for such volume correction shall use the Transfer Prices applicable to such Crude Oil Lot.  In the event that the sum set forth in the True-Up Invoice is greater than the sum set forth in the Withdrawal Invoices, the difference shall be paid by Coffeyville to Vitol; however, if the sum set forth in the Withdrawal Invoice exceeds the sum set forth in the True-Up Invoice, the difference shall

 

26

 

PORTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT DENOTED WITH THREE ASTERISKS (***) HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 

be paid by Vitol to Coffeyville.  All amounts due and owing hereunder (the “True-Up Payment”) shall be paid by the owing Party to the other Party on the next Business Day following Coffeyville’s receipt of the corrected invoice.

 

9.5          Payment Terms Adjustment.  Vitol will compute an adjustment to the Transfer Price to give Coffeyville the equivalent economic benefit of standard industry payment terms for Crude Oil acquired by Coffeyville (the “Payment Terms Adjustment”). On the first (1st) Business Day following the nineteenth (19th) day of each month, Vitol shall compute the Payment Terms Adjustment for the period from the nineteenth (19th) day of the previous month until the eighteenth (18th) day of such current month (the “Working Capital Period”), and shall deliver to Coffeyville a working capital statement in sufficient detail (the “Working Capital Statement”).  The Payment Terms Adjustment shall be equal to (***) for each day in the Working Capital Period.  The Daily Capital Charge shall be equal to (***).  Any payments due under this Section 9.5, shall be payable on the fifth (5th) Business Day following Vitol’s delivery of the Working Capital Statement to Coffeyville but, in no event, later than the last day of the calendar month which immediately follows the calendar month to which such payment applies.

 

9.6          Other Statements.  If any other amount is due from one Party to the other hereunder (not including the Transfer Price), and if provision for the invoicing of that amount due is not made elsewhere in this Agreement, then the Party to whom such amount is due shall furnish a statement therefore to the other Party, along with pertinent information showing the basis for the calculation thereof.  Upon request, the Party who issued a statement under this Section 9.6 shall provide reasonable supporting documentation to substantiate any amount claimed to be due.

 

9.7          Payment.

 

(a)  Form of Payment.  Each Party shall pay, or cause to be paid, by telegraphic transfer of same day funds in U.S. Dollars, all amounts that become due and payable by such Party to a bank account or accounts designated by and in accordance with instructions issued by the other Party.  Each payment of undisputed amounts (the disputed portion of which is addressed under Section 9.8) owing hereunder shall be in the full amount due without reduction or offset for any reason (except as expressly allowed under this Agreement), including Taxes, exchange charges or bank transfer charges.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the paying Party shall not be responsible for a designated bank’s disbursement of amounts remitted to such bank, and a deposit in same day funds of the full amount of each statement with such bank shall constitute full discharge and satisfaction of such statement.

 

(b)  Payment Date.  If any payment due date should fall on a Saturday or non-Monday weekday that is not a Business Day in New York City, payment is to be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.  If the payment due date should fall on a

 

27

 

PORTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT DENOTED WITH THREE ASTERISKS (***) HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 

Sunday or Monday which is not a Business Day in New York City, payment is to be made on the immediately following Business Day.

 

(c)  Interest.  All payments under this Agreement not paid by the due date as defined herein shall accrue interest at the Base Interest Rate.  Interest shall run from, and including, the applicable due date of the payment to, but excluding, the date that payment is received.

 

9.8          Disputed Payments.  In the event of a disagreement concerning any statement or invoice issued pursuant hereto, the owing Party shall make provisional payment of the total amount owing and shall promptly notify the receiving Party of the reasons for such disagreement, except that in the case of an obvious error in computation, the owing Party shall pay the correct amount disregarding such error.  Statements may be contested by a Party only if, within a period of one (1) year after a Party’s receipt thereof, the owing Party serves on the receiving Party notice questioning their correctness.  If no such notice is served, statements shall be deemed correct and accepted by all Parties.  The Parties shall cooperate in resolving any dispute expeditiously.  Within five (5) Business Days after resolution of any dispute as to a statement, the Party owing a disputed amount, if any, shall pay such amount, with interest at the Base Interest Rate from the original due date to but not including the date of payment.

 

ARTICLE 10
 TAXES

 

Coffeyville shall be liable for (i) all Taxes imposed on Crude Oil as a result of the transportation, storage, importation or transfer of title of such Crude Oil from Vitol to Coffeyville at the Delivery Points, and (ii) all Taxes imposed after delivery of such Crude Oil to Coffeyville at the Delivery Points.

 

ARTICLE 11

the preparation, certification and delivery of such statements and provided further, however, that in the event Coffeyville or its Affiliates cease filing such reports with the SEC, then Coffeyville shall provide to Vitol financial reports in the same form and on the same schedule as Coffeyville or its Affiliates provide such financial reports to its/their lenders.  For purposes of this Section 11.1, “Affiliate” will include any Affiliate whose annual report or quarterly report includes Coffeyville.

 

11.2        Notification of Certain Events.  Each Party shall notify the other Party at least one Business Day prior to any of the following events, as applicable:

 

(a)  As to Coffeyville, it or any of its Affiliates’ binding agreement to sell, lease, sublease, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or grant any Person (including an Affiliate) an option to acquire, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, all or a material portion of the Refinery assets; or

 

(b)  As to either Party, its or any of its Affiliates’ binding agreement to consolidate or amalgamate with, merge with or into, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to, another entity (including an Affiliate).

 

For purposes of this Section 11.2, an Affiliate of Coffeyville shall include entities up to the level of CVR Energy, Inc., but not above CVR Energy, Inc., and an Affiliate of Vitol shall include only Vitol Holdings BV.  In addition, this Section 11.2 shall not apply to any future public offering of stock (or partnership units) of Coffeyville or any of its Affiliates, including, but not limited to CVR Partners, LP, or to an internal corporate reorganization where the ultimate beneficial ownership of such party does not change.

 

11.3        Adequate Assurances.  Vitol may, in its sole discretion and upon notice to Coffeyville, require that Coffeyville provide it with satisfactory security for or adequate assurance (“Adequate Assurance”) of Coffeyville’s performance within three (3) Business Days of giving such notice if:

 

(a)  Vitol reasonably determines that reasonable grounds for insecurity exist with respect to Coffeyville’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder; or

 

(b)  Coffeyville defaults with respect to any payment hereunder (after giving effect to any applicable grace period).

 

Vitol’s right to request Adequate Assurance pursuant to Section 11.3(a) shall include, but not be limited to any internal corporate reorganization where Coffeyville or CVR Energy, Inc., as the case may be, is not as creditworthy following such transaction as prior thereto.

 

In the event Vitol gives such a notice pursuant to Section 11.3(a) above, such notice shall include a summary of the information upon which Vitol has based its determination that such reasonable grounds for insecurity exist.  Such summary shall be in sufficient detail to reasonably communicate Vitol’s grounds that insecurity exists; however, in no event

 

29

 

PORTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT DENOTED WITH THREE ASTERISKS (***) HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 

shall the nature of Vitol’s notice relieve Coffeyville of its obligation to provide Adequate Assurance hereunder.

 

11.4        Eligible Collateral.  Any requirement for Adequate Assurance shall be satisfied only by Coffeyville’s delivery of Eligible Collateral.  Eligible Collateral shall be posted in an amount equal to not less than Vitol’s financial exposure under this Agreement (the “Cover Exposure”).  Cover Exposure shall mean the amount that is the difference between the Crude Oil valued at the applicable Provisional Transfer Prices and the fair market value of the Crude Oil, which shall reflect any adjustments for the quality of the Crude Oil as compared to WTI and which amount is not negative.  (For the avoidance of doubt, Crude Oil shall mean the total aggregate volume of all Crude Oil held by Vitol on the date of such calculations).  In addition, in order to continue to satisfy any requirement for Adequate Assurance, the amount of any Eligible Collateral shall be adjusted from time to time so that it is sufficient to satisfy the Cover Exposure, as it may fluctuate from time to time.  Vitol shall, from time to time, compute the Cover Exposure in a commercially reasonable manner.

 

11.5        Failure to Give Adequate Assurance.  Without prejudice to any other legal remedies available to Vitol and without Vitol incurring any Liabilities (whether to Coffeyville or to a third party), Vitol may, at its sole discretion, take any or all of the following actions if Coffeyville fails to give Adequate Assurance as required pursuant to Section 11.3: (a) withhold or suspend its obligations, including payment obligations, under this Agreement, (b) proceed against Coffeyville for damages occasioned by Coffeyville’s failure to perform or (c) exercise its termination rights under Article 17.

 

11.6        Coffeyville Right to Terminate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Coffeyville may, within sixty (60) days of its providing Adequate Assurance hereunder and upon five (5) days prior written notice to Vitol, terminate this Agreement.  Such termination by Coffeyville shall not be a default hereunder and shall be deemed a termination pursuant to Article 17; provided that nothing in this Section 11.6 shall limit any of Vitol’s rights in the event Coffeyville fails to maintain Adequate Assurance or any other Event of Default with respect to Coffeyville occurs.

 

ARTICLE 12
 REFINERY TURNAROUND, MAINTENANCE AND CLOSURE

 

12.1        Scheduled Maintenance.  Coffeyville shall provide to Vitol on the Commencement Date and on an annual basis thereafter, at least thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of each calendar year during the Term, its anticipated timing of Scheduled Maintenance during the upcoming year, and shall update such schedule as soon as practical following any change to the maintenance schedule.  The Parties shall cooperate with each other in establishing maintenance and turnaround schedules that do not unnecessarily interfere with the receipt of Crude Oil that Vitol has committed to purchase.

 

12.2        Unscheduled Maintenance.  Coffeyville shall immediately notify Vitol orally (followed by prompt written notice) of any previously unscheduled downtime,

 

30

 

PORTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT DENOTED WITH THREE ASTERISKS (***) HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 

maintenance or turnaround and the expected duration of such unscheduled downtime, maintenance or turnaround.

 

12.3        Failure to Accept Deliveries.  In the event that the Refinery is unable, for whatever reason other than Scheduled Maintenance, to accept deliveries of Crude Oil for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days, consistent with prior practices, then Vitol shall be entitled to suspend deliveries of Crude Oil until such time as the Refinery has resumed its normal receipt schedule.  During such period of suspension, Vitol, at its option and its sole discretion, shall be entitled to (a) deliver the Crude Oil to an alternate location in accordance with instructions received from Coffeyville and demand immediate payment from Coffeyville for such Crude Oil, or (b) sell such Crude Oil to a third party, in which case Coffeyville shall be liable to Vitol for any shortfall, or Vitol shall be liable to Coffeyville for any excess, between (i) the revenues received by Vitol from such third party sale and (ii) the price that Coffeyville would have paid Vitol pursuant to this Agreement, plus all direct and indirect costs of cover and documented hedge expenses.  Any amount owed to a Party pursuant to this Section 12.3 shall be included in the next True-Up Payment.

 

ARTICLE 13
 COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS

 

13.1        Compliance With Laws.  Each Party shall, in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, comply in all material respects with all Applicable Laws.  Each Party shall maintain the records required to be maintained by Environmental Laws and shall make such records available to the other Party upon request.

 

13.2        Reports.  All reports or documents rendered by either Party to the other Party shall, to the best of such rendering Party’s knowledge and belief, accurately and completely reflect the facts about the activities and transactions to which they relate.  Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party if at any time such rendering Party has reason to believe that the records or documents previously furnished to such other Party are no longer accurate or complete in any material respect.

 

ARTICLE 14
 FORCE MAJEURE

 

14.1        Event of Force Majeure.  Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party if it is rendered unable by an event of Force Majeure to perform in whole or in part any of its obligations hereunder, for so long as the event of Force Majeure exists and to the extent that performance is hindered by the event of Force Majeure; provided, however, that the Party unable to perform shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove the event of Force Majeure.  During the period that performance by one of the Parties of a part or whole of its obligations has been suspended by reason of an event of Force Majeure, the other Party likewise may suspend the performance of all or a part of its obligations to the extent that such suspension is commercially reasonable, except for any payment and indemnification obligations.

 

31

 

PORTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT DENOTED WITH THREE ASTERISKS (***) HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 

14.2        Notice.  The Party rendered unable to perform its obligations hereunder shall give notice to the other Party within twenty-four (24) hours after receiving notice of the occurrence of an event of Force Majeure, including, to the extent feasible, the details and the expected duration of the event of Force Majeure and the volume of Crude Oil affected.  Such Party shall promptly notify the other Party when the event of Force Majeure is terminated.

 

14.3        Termination and Curtailment.  In the event that a Party’s performance is suspended due to an event of Force Majeure in excess of ninety (90) consecutive days from the date that notice of such event is given, and so long as such event is continuing, the non-claiming Party, in its sole discretion, may terminate or curtail its obligations under this Agreement by notice to the other Party, and neither Party shall have any further liability to the other Party in respect of this Agreement except for the rights and remedies previously accrued under this Agreement, including any payment and indemnification obligations by either Party under this Agreement.

 

14.4        Resumption of Performance.  If this Agreement is not terminated pursuant to this Article 14 or any other provision of this Agreement, performance of this Agreement shall resume to the extent made possible by the end or amelioration of the event of Force Majeure in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Term of this Agreement shall not be extended for the period of any event of Force Majeure.

ARTICLE 16
 DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

 

16.1        Events of Default.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, an Event of Default shall be deemed to occur with respect to a Party when:

 

(a)  Such Party fails to make payment when due under this Agreement, within one (1) Business Day of a written demand therefor.

 

(b)  Other than a Default described in Sections 16.1(a) and (c), such Party fails to perform any obligation or covenant to the other Party under this Agreement, which failure is not cured to the satisfaction of the other Party (in its sole discretion) within five (5) Business Days from the date that such Party receives written notice that corrective action is needed.

 

(c)  Such Party breaches any material representation or material warranty made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated in this Agreement by such Party, or any warranty or representation in this Agreement proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated under this Agreement; provided, however, that if such breach is curable, it is only an Event of Default if such breach is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the other Party (in its sole discretion) within ten (10) Business Days from the date that such Party receives notice that corrective action is needed.

 

(d)  Such Party or its Designated Affiliate (i) defaults under a Specified Transaction and, after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period, there occurs a liquidation of, an acceleration of obligations under, or any early termination of, such Specified Transaction, (ii) defaults, after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period, in making any payment or delivery due on the last payment, delivery or exchange date of, or any payment on early termination of, a Specified Transaction (or such default continues for at least three (3) Business Days if there is no applicable notice requirement or grace period) or (iii) disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or rejects, in whole or in part, a Specified Transaction (or such action is taken by any Person appointed or empowered to operate it or act on its behalf).

 

(e)  Such Party becomes Bankrupt.

 

(f)  Coffeyville fails to provide Adequate Assurance in accordance with Section 11.3.

 

(g)  Coffeyville or any of its Affiliates sells, leases, subleases, transfers or otherwise disposes of, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, all or a material portion of the assets of the Refineries to a completely unrelated third party which is not an Affiliate.

 

34

 

PORTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT DENOTED WITH THREE ASTERISKS (***) HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 

(h)  There shall occur either (i) a default, event of default or other similar condition or event (however described) in respect of Coffeyville or any of its Affiliates under one or more agreements or instruments relating to any Specified Indebtedness in an aggregate amount of not less than $20,000,000 which has resulted in such Specified Indebtedness becoming due and payable under such Specified Indebtedness and instruments before it would have otherwise been due and payable or (ii) a default by Coffeyville or any of its Affiliates (individually or collectively) in making one or more payments on the due date thereof in an aggregate amount of not less than $10,000,000 under such agreements or instruments relating to any Specified Indebtedness (after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period), provided that a default under clause (ii) above shall not constitute an Event of Default if (a) the default was caused solely by error or omission of an administrative or operational nature; (b) funds were available to enable Coffeyville or its Affiliate, as the case may be, to make the payment when due; and (c) the payment is made within two (2) Business Days of such Coffeyville’s or its Affiliates, as the case may be, receipt of written notice of its failure to pay.

 

(i)  Coffeyville or CVR Energy, Inc. (i) consolidates or amalgamates with, merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to, another entity (including an Affiliate) or any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer is consummated, and (ii) the successor entity resulting from any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger or the Person that otherwise acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Coffeyville or CVR Energy, Inc. (a) does not assume, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Vitol, all of Coffeyville’s obligations hereunder, or (b) has an “issuer credit” rating below BBB- by Standard and Poor’s Ratings Group or Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (or an equivalent successor rating classification).

 

Neither a future public offering of stock of Coffeyville or any of its Affiliates (including, but not limited to CVR Energy, Inc.) nor a future public offering of units of CVR Partners, LP, or any internal corporate reorganization in connection therewith, shall result in an Event of Default under this Agreement pursuant to clauses (g) and (i) above.  In addition, a spin-off of CVR Partners, LP to the stockholders of CVR Energy, Inc. and/or an internal corporate reorganization where the ultimate beneficial ownership of such Party does not change shall not result in an Event of Default under this Agreement pursuant to clauses (g) and (i) above.

 

Coffeyville shall be the Defaulting Party upon the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (f), (g), (h) and (i) above.

 

16.2        Remedies.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to either Party (the “Defaulting Party”), the other Party (the “Performing Party”) shall in its sole discretion, in addition to all other remedies available to it and without incurring any Liabilities to the Defaulting Party or to third parties, be entitled to do one or more of the following: (a) suspend its performance under this Agreement without prior notice to the Defaulting Party, (b) proceed against the Defaulting Party for damages occasioned by the Defaulting Party’s failure to perform, (c) upon one (1) Business Day’s notice to the Defaulting Party,

 

35

 

PORTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT DENOTED WITH THREE ASTERISKS (***) HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 

immediately terminate and liquidate all Transactions between the Parties by calculating a Termination Payment, in the manner set forth in Section 17.2, and (iv) exercise its rights of liquidation and setoff with respect to all Specified Transactions as set forth in Section 17.4.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 16.1(e), no prior notice shall be required.

 

16.3        Instructions Concerning Operational Matters.  At any time upon an Event of Default by Coffeyville, Vitol may instruct (a) the Terminal Operators to cancel any Crude Oil nominations scheduled for delivery from Vitol to Coffeyville and re-nominate such Crude Oil to Vitol’s consignee as Vitol may direct and (b) the relevant Pipeline Systems that Vitol will be using Coffeyville’s nominated shipping capacity to ship Crude Oil that otherwise would be sold to Coffeyville to Vitol’s consignee as Vitol may direct.  It is the Parties’ understanding that all Crude Oil shall be exclusively owned and controlled by Vitol until delivered to Coffeyville at a Delivery Point.

 

16.4        Forbearance Period.  If an Event of Default of the type referred to in Section 16.1(h) occurs, Vitol agrees that, for a period of up to sixty (60) consecutive calendar days thereafter (the “Forbearance Period”), it shall forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under Section 16.2 to the extent it is otherwise entitled to do so based on such occurrence; provided that:

 

(a)  at all times during the Forbearance Period, either the Cover Exposure shall equal zero or the aggregate amount of Undrawn Letters of Credit shall exceed the Cover Exposure; and

 

(b)  at no time during the Forbearance Period shall any other Event of Default have occurred.

 

The Forbearance Period shall end on the earlier to occur of (i) the sixtieth (60th) day following the occurrence of the Specified Indebtedness Event of Default or (ii) the time as of which the condition in either clause (a) or (b) of Section 16.4 is no longer satisfied. During the Forbearance Period, Vitol shall continue to supply Crude Oil to Coffeyville pursuant to the provisions hereof.

 

From and after the end of the Forbearance Period, Vitol shall be entitled to exercise any and all of the rights and remedies it may have (including under Section 16.2) based on the occurrence of such Event of Default as if no Forbearance Period had occurred (regardless of whether such Event of Default has been remedied or waived during such Forbearance Period).

 

16.5        Additional Remedies for Vitol Event of Default.  If Vitol commits an Event of Default, including becoming Bankrupt, then in addition to any other rights or remedies available hereunder, Coffeyville may cause the termination of this Agreement within the meaning of Section 556 of the Bankruptcy Code by (i) providing notice of termination to Vitol, and (ii) providing notice of termination to third parties of any and all assignments of lease storage agreements, terminalling agreements, throughput agreements and pipeline transportation rights agreements, including but not limited to the Keystone

 

36

 

PORTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT DENOTED WITH THREE ASTERISKS (***) HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 

Notice of Agency and Acknowledgement of Authorization to Act, the Enterprise Temporary Assignment of Lease Storage Agreement, the Plains Marketing Temporary Assignment of Terminalling Agreement (No. 1), the Plains Marketing Temporary Assignment of Amended and Restated Terminalling Agreement, the Plains Marketing Temporary Assignment of Terminalling Agreement (No. 2) and the Plains Marketing Temporary Assignment of Throughput Agreement (Duncan)  and any future similar agreements or amendments thereof.   In this regard, Vitol acknowledges that time is of the essence and Coffeyville may act unilaterally to minimize economic damages and disruption to its business.  Such notices of termination referenced in this Section 16.5 shall be effective five (5) days after the date of such notices.  Any Crude Oil not purchased by Coffeyville within such five (5) day period shall be sold by Vitol and any such sale shall be treated as a Third Party Sale Transaction.

 

ARTICLE 17
 FINAL SETTLEMENT AT TERMINATION

 

17.1        Effects of Termination.  Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, Coffeyville shall acquire (a) all Crude Oil located in the Designated Tanks and (b) all Crude Oil in transit by vessel or in pipelines to be delivered into the Designated Tanks (collectively, the “Final Inventory”), all of which shall be purchased by Coffeyville at the Transfer Price effective as of the date of termination or expiration.  Such final purchase and sale Transactions shall be invoiced by Vitol and paid for by Coffeyville in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article 9, except that Vitol may prepare and deliver to Coffeyville True-Up Invoices as soon as the necessary information becomes available.  The Final Inventory volumes shall be the sum of the following:  (i) the volume of Crude Oil in the Designated Tanks as determined by the records of each Designated Tank operator, (ii) the volume of Crude Oil in transit by vessel or pipeline as determined by the records of each vessel or pipeline operator and (iii) the CRCT Cushing Volumes as determined by the Independent Inspector in accordance with Schedule F.  In the event that Coffeyville fails to purchase such Crude Oil in accordance with the terms of this Section 17.1, Vitol shall be entitled to sell the Crude Oil and such sale shall be treated as a Third Party Sale Transaction.

 

17.2        Close Out of Transactions Under the Agreement.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Performing Party shall, in its sole discretion, in addition to all other remedies available to it and without incurring any Liabilities to the Defaulting Party or to third parties, be entitled to designate a date not earlier than the date of such notice (the “Termination Date”) on which all Transactions shall terminate.  The Performing Party shall be entitled to close out and liquate each Transaction at its market price, as determined by the Performing Party in a commercially reasonable manner as of the Termination Date, and to calculate an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the market price and the Transfer Price for each Transaction.  The Performing Party shall aggregate the net gain or loss with respect to all terminated Transactions as of the Termination Date to a single dollar amount (the “Liquidation Amount”).  The Performing Party shall notify the Defaulting Party of the Liquidation Amount due from or due to the Defaulting Party, after taking into account any collateral or margin held by either Party (the “Termination Payment”).

 

37

 

PORTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT DENOTED WITH THREE ASTERISKS (***) HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 

17.3        Payment of Termination Payment.  As soon as reasonably practicable after the Termination Date, the Performing Party shall provide the Defaulting Party with a statement showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of the Liquidation Amount and the Termination Payment.  If the Defaulting Party owes the Termination Payment to the Performing Party, the Defaulting Party shall pay the Termination Payment on the first (1st) Business Day after it receives the statement.  If the Performing Party owes the Termination Payment to the Defaulting Party, the Performing Party shall pay the Termination Payment once it has reasonably determined all amounts owed by the Defaulting Party to it under all Transactions and its rights of setoff under Section 17.4.

 

17.4        Close Out of Specified Transactions.  An Event of Default under this Agreement shall constitute a material breach and an event of default, howsoever described, under all Specified Transactions.  The Performing Party (or any of its Affiliates) may, by giving a notice to the Defaulting Party, designate a Termination Date for all Specified Transactions and, upon such designation, terminate, liquidate and otherwise close out all Specified Transactions.  If the Performing Party elects to designate a Termination Date under this Section 17.4 for Specified Transactions, the Performing Party shall calculate, in accordance with the terms set forth in such Specified Transactions, the amounts, whether positive or negative, due upon early termination under each Specified Transaction and shall determine in good faith and fair dealing the aggregate sum of such amounts, whether positive or negative (“Specified Transaction Termination Amount”).  If a particular Specified Transaction does not provide a method for determining what is owed upon termination, then the amount due upon early termination shall be determined pursuant to Section 17.2, as if the Specified Transaction was a Transaction.  On the Termination Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Performing Party shall provide the Defaulting Party with a statement showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of the Specified Transaction Termination Amount.  If the Specified Transaction Termination Amount is a negative number, and the Performing Party owes a Termination Payment to the Defaulting Party, the Performing Party shall pay the Defaulting Party the Specified Transaction Termination Amount at the time of its payment of the Termination Payment under Section 17.2.  If the Specified Transaction Termination Amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party shall pay the Performing Party such Specified Transaction Termination Amount on demand; provided, however, that the Performing Party, at its election, may setoff any Termination Payment owed by the Defaulting Party to the Performing Party pursuant to Section 17.2 against any Specified Transaction Termination Amount owed by the Performing Party to the Defaulting Party and may setoff any Specified Transaction Termination Amount owed to the Performing Party by the Defaulting Party against any Termination Payment owed by the Performing Party to the Defaulting Party pursuant to Section 17.2.  The Performing Party shall notify the Defaulting Party of any setoff affected under this Section 17.4.

 

17.5        Non-Exclusive Remedy.  The Performing Party’s rights under this Article 17 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or exclusion of, any other rights that it may have (whether by agreement, operation of law or otherwise), including any rights and remedies under the UCC; provided, however, that (a) if the Performing Party elects to exercise its rights under Section 17.2, it shall do so with respect to all Transactions, and (b) if the Performing Party elects to exercise its rights under Section 17.4, it shall do

 

38

 

PORTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT DENOTED WITH THREE ASTERISKS (***) HAVE BEEN OMITTED AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 

so with respect to all Specified Transactions.  The Performing Party may enforce any of its remedies under this Agreement successively or concurrently at its option.  No delay or failure on the part of a Performing Party to exercise any right or remedy to which it may become entitled on account of an Event of Default shall constitute an abandonment of any such right, and the Performing Party shall be entitled to exercise such right or remedy at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default.  All of the remedies and other provisions of this Article 17 shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of setoff, recoupment, combination of accounts, lien or other right to which any Party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, in equity, under contract or otherwise).

 

17.6        Indemnity.  The Defaulting Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Performing Party for all Liabilities incurred as a result of the Default or in the exercise of any remedies under this Article 17, including any damages, losses and expenses incurred in obtaining, maintaining or liquidating commercially reasonable hedges relating to any Crude Oil sold and WTI Contracts entered into hereunder, all as determined in a commercially reasonable manner by the Performing Party.

 

ARTICLE 18
 INDEMNIFICATION AND CLAIMS

 

18.1        Vitol’s Duty to Indemnify.  To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law and except as specified otherwise elsewhere in this Agreement, Vitol shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Coffeyville, its Affiliates, and their directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and contractors for and against any Liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of (i) any breach by Vitol of any covenant or agreement contained herein or made in connection herewith or any representation or warranty of Vitol made herein or in connection herewith proving to be false or misleading, (ii) Vitol’s handling, storage or refining of any Crude Oil or the products thereof, (iii) any failure by Vitol to comply with or observe any Applicable Law, (iv) Vitol’s negligence or willful misconduct, or (v) injury, disease, or death of any person or damage to or loss of any property, fine or penalty, as well as any Liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to environmental losses such as oil discharges or violations of Environmental Law before a Delivery Point in performing its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that such injury, disease, death, or damage to or loss of property was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Coffeyville, its Affiliates or any of their respective employees, representatives, agents or contractors.

 

18.2        Coffeyville’s Duty to Indemnify.  To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law and except as specified otherwise elsewhere in this Agreement, Coffeyville shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Vitol, its Affiliates, and their directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and contractors for and against any Liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of (i) any breach by Coffeyville of any covenant or agreement contained herein or made in connection herewith or any representation or warranty of Coffeyville made herein or in connection herewith proving to be false or misleading, (ii) Coffeyville’s handling, storage or refining of any Crude Oil or the products thereof, (iii) Coffeyville’s negligence or willful misconduct, (iv) any

No Third Party Claim may be settled or compromised (i) by the Indemnified Party without the consent of the Indemnifying Party or (ii) by the Indemnifying Party without the consent of the Indemnified Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume responsibility for and control of any judicial or administrative proceedings if such proceedings involves an Event of Default by the Indemnifying Party which shall have occurred and be continuing.  The mere purchase and existence of insurance does not reduce or release either Party from any liability incurred or assumed under this Agreement.
