referred to in Article 7 of this Agreement, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement (and any related arrangements between the parties hereto), express or implied, is intended to or shall confer on any other person or entity any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement (or any such related arrangements between the parties hereto).

Section 8.08. Governing Law. This Agreement (excluding, for these purposes, the Schedules hereto) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of laws rules of such state. Each Schedule hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the jurisdiction indicated in such Schedule.

Section 8.09.   Arbitration.

(a) With respect to Storage Services (subject to any provisions relating to arbitration in the applicable Schedule which shall supersede and apply) and with respect to Allocation Services, the parties hereby agree that the exclusive forum for resolving any dispute that arises out of or in connection with this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Schedule hereto) shall be arbitration in accordance with the Rules of Commercial Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association, as amended by the provisions of this Section 8.09. To the extent the provisions of this Section 8.09 are inconsistent with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association, the provisions of this Section 8.09 shall control. Any such arbitration shall be conducted in New York City, New York before a panel of three arbitrators, one appointed by each party to the dispute and one selected by the appointed arbitrators. If a party does not designate its arbitrator within ten (10) Business Days of a written request for arbitration being sent from one party to the other(s), any party can ask the American Arbitration Association to select such arbitrator. Once the arbitrators have been selected, each party shall submit their position in writing to the arbitrators within thirty (30) days of the end of the discovery period as described in Section 8.09(b). The arbitrators shall then set a date for the arbitration hearing after which the arbitrators will render their decision by majority vote, in writing, based upon a hearing in which evidence may be introduced without following the strict rules of evidence, as specified in Section 8.09(b), but in which cross-examination and rebuttal will be allowed. The decision of the arbitrators will be final and binding on all parties to the arbitration and may be entered into any court in New York State with competent jurisdiction. The arbitrators will have the power to award compensatory money damages, and interest thereon, and will have exclusive jurisdiction over all matters in dispute, but will not have the power to award exemplary or punitive damages. The parties also agree that the expense of the arbitrators and the legal fees and expense of the prevailing party shall be borne by the losing party as determined by the arbitrators.

(b) In any arbitration pursuant to Section 8.09(a), the parties shall be entitled to discovery and to introduce evidence as permitted by the arbitrators by reference to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures and the Federal Rules of Evidence (collectively, the “Federal Rules”), but, consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, the arbitrators shall not be required to comply strictly with such Federal Rules in conducting any such arbitration. Each party to the arbitration will, upon the written request of any other party, promptly provide the other with copies of documents (including, without limitation, emails and other written communications) relevant to the issues. Any dispute regarding discovery, or the relevance or scope thereof, shall be determined by the arbitrators, under the guidance of the Federal Rules, which determination shall be conclusive. The discovery period shall be completed within thirty (30) days following the appointment of the arbitrators.

Section 8.10. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each

  

13

  

 

party hereto shall have received counterparts hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).

Section 8.11. Entire Agreement; Conflicts. This Agreement sets out the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and this Agreement supersedes any other agreement, statement, or representation relating to the services provided herein, whether oral or written. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Sponsor Warehouse Agreement, on the one hand, and any Schedule hereto, on the other hand, the terms of Articles 1 through 8 of this Sponsor Warehouse Agreement shall prevail in relation to the Allocation Services and the terms of the Schedules shall prevail in relation to the Storage Services. In the event of a conflict between the terms of Articles 1 through 8 of this Sponsor Warehouse Agreement, the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, on the one hand, and the Addendum, on the other hand, the terms of the Addendum shall prevail.

Section 8.12. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

(d)  

	
Any advice or information, in whatever form as may be given or provided by the Company for the Customer only, and the Customer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company for all liability, loss, damage, costs and expenses arising out of any other person relying on such advice or information; provided that advice and information which are not related to instructions accepted by the Company are provided gratuitously and without liability.

14.5

	
Without prejudice to the Company’s rights under this Schedule C-1 or otherwise to be paid free from deduction or set–off, any limitation of liability on the part of the Company shall be applied to any claim by the Customer before any set-off or counterclaim is asserted against money due to the Company.

Company acting as Agent of the Customer

 

	
17.1

	
With respect to the Storage Services provided hereunder:

	
  

	
(a)

	
To the extent that the Company acts as an agent of the Customer, the Company does not make or purport to make any contract with the Customer for the carriage, storage or handling of the Goods nor for any other physical service in relation to them and acts solely on behalf of the Customer in securing such services by establishing contracts with third parties so that direct contractual relationships are established between the Customer and such third parties.

The Company shall not be responsible for any money paid or remitted by it on behalf of the senders to any persons in respect of the Goods to be forwarded, whether for the purpose of paying duties or charges in respect of the Goods or otherwise.

C-10

  

	
  

	
(a)

	
Without prejudice to Clause 6.5, the Company, when acting as an agent of the Customer, has the authority of the Customer to enter into contracts on the Customer’s behalf and to do such acts so as to bind the Customer by such contracts and acts in all respects notwithstanding any departure from the Customer’s instructions.

	
  

	
(b)

	
The Company shall only forward Goods subject to the contracts, terms, conditions and regulations of the various persons, companies or Authorities into whose possession the Goods may pass.

	
  

	
(c)

	
The Customer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company in respect of all liability, loss, damage, costs or expenses arising out of any contracts made in the procurement of the satisfaction of the Customer’s requirements in accordance with this Clause 17.

18.          Company acting as Principal

	
18.1

	
With respect to the Storage Services provided hereunder, to the extent that the Company contracts as principal for the performance of the Customer’s instructions, the Company undertakes to perform or in its own name to procure the performance of the Customer’s instructions and subject to the provisions of this Schedule C-1 shall be liable for the loss of or damage to the Goods occurring from the time that the Goods are taken into its charge until the time of delivery.

	
18.2

	
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Schedule C-1, if it is proven that loss of or damage to the Goods occurred, the Company’s liability shall be determined by the provisions contained in any international convention or national law, the provisions of which:

	 	
(a)

	
cannot be departed from by private contract, to the detriment of the claimant; and

	 	
(b)

	
would have applied if the claimant had made a separate and direct contract with the actual provider of the particular service in respect of that service or stage of carriage where the loss or damage occurred and received as evidence thereof any particular document which must be issued if such international convention or national law shall apply.

	
18.3

	
Notwithstanding any provision in this Schedule C-1, but subject to Clause 18.4, if it can be proved that the loss of or damage to the Goods occurred at sea or inland waterway, the Company’s liability shall be limited to those set out in the Hague-Visby Rules and the Company shall be entitled to rely on all defences, exemptions or limitations provided to carriers by the Hague-Visby Rules. Reference in the Hague-Visby Rules to carriage by sea shall be deemed to include reference to carriage by inland waterways and the Hague-Visby Rules shall be construed accordingly;

	
18.4

	
Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 18.3, if the loss of or damage to the Goods occurred at sea or on inland waterways, and the owner, charterer or operator of the vessel establishes a limitation fund, the liability of the Company shall be limited to the proportion of the said limitation fund allocated to the Goods.

19.          General Average and Both to Blame Collision

  

C-11

  

 

	
19.1

19.2

	
The current Both-to-Blame Collision Clause as adopted by BIMCO is incorporated in and deemed to form part of this Schedule C-1. If the vessel comes into collision with another vessel as a result of the negligence of the other vessel and any act of negligence of default of the master, marines, pilot or the servant of the carrier in the navigation or in the management of the vessel, the merchant will indemnify the carrier against all loss or liability to the other or non-carrying vessel or her owner insofar as such loss or liability represents loss of or damage to or any claim whatsoever of the owner of the said goods paid or payable by the carrying vessel or her owner as part of his claim against the carrying vessel or carrier. The foregoing provisions shall also apply where the owner operator or those in charge of any vessels or objects other than or in addition to the colliding vessels or objects are at fault in respect of a collision or contract.

20.          Miscellaneous

	
20.1

	
The waiver by the Company of a breach or default of any of the provisions set out in this Schedule C-1 shall not be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or other provisions herein nor shall any delay or omission on the part of the Company to exercise or avail itself of any right power or privilege that it has or may have hereunder operate as a waiver of any breach or default by the Customer.

	
20.2

	
The rights and remedies conferred on the Company under this Schedule C-1 shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to and without prejudice to any rights or remedies otherwise available (whether at law or in equity) to the Company.

	
20.3

	
The defenses and limits of liability provided for by this Schedule C-1 shall apply in any action against the Company whether such action be founded in contract or tort or in whatsoever form.

	
20.4

	
Each exclusion or limitation in this Schedule C-1 exists separately and cumulatively. If any clause or sub-clause of any part of this Schedule C-1 is unlawful, that clause or sub-clause shall be deemed deleted, the Schedule C-1 remaining in full force as if the clause or sub-clause had never been contained in it.

	
20.5

	
Warehousing Fees shall begin to accrue upon delivery of the Goods to the Company in accordance with the terms hereof and shall be paid in full. The Customer shall not be entitled to assert any credit set-off or counterclaim against the Company in order to justify withholding payment of any such Warehousing Fees in whole or in part.

(a)

	
cannot be departed from by private contract, to the detriment of the claimant; and

  

D-11

  

 

	
  

	
(b)

20.2

	
The current Both-to-Blame Collision Clause as adopted by BIMCO is incorporated in and deemed to form part of this Schedule D-1. If the vessel comes into collision with another vessel as a result of the negligence of the other vessel and any act of negligence of default of the master, marines, pilot or the servant of the carrier in the navigation or in the management of the vessel, the merchant will indemnify the carrier against all loss or liability to the other or non-carrying vessel or her owner insofar as such loss or liability represents loss of or damage to or any claim whatsoever of the owner of the said goods paid or payable by the carrying vessel or her owner as part of his claim against the carrying vessel or carrier. The foregoing provisions shall also apply where the owner operator or those in charge of any vessels or objects other than or in addition to the colliding vessels or objects are at fault in respect of a collision or contract.

21.          Miscellaneous

	
21.1

21.2

	
The rights and remedies conferred on the Company under this Schedule D-1 shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to and without prejudice to any rights or remedies otherwise available (whether at law or in equity) to the Company.

	
21.3

	
The defenses and limits of liability provided for by this Schedule D-1 shall apply in any action against the Company whether such action be founded in contract or tort or in whatsoever form.

  

D-12

  

	
21.4

	
If any Clause or sub-clause in this Schedule D-1 shall be held to be illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under any enactment or rule of law, such clause or sub-clause shall to that extent be deemed not to form part of this Schedule D-1 but the validity and enforceability of the remainder of this Schedule D-1 shall not be affected.

	
21.5

	
Warehousing Fees shall begin to accrue upon delivery of the Goods to the Company in accordance with the terms hereof and shall be paid in full. The Customer shall not be entitled to assert any credit set-off or counterclaim against the Company in order to justify withholding payment of any such Warehousing Fees in whole or in part.

Any such arbitration shall be conducted in New York City, New York before a panel of three arbitrators, one appointed by each party to the dispute and one selected by the appointed arbitrators.  If a party does not designate its arbitrator within ten (10) Business Days of a written request for arbitration being sent from one party to the other(s), any party can ask the American Arbitration 

 

  

12

  

 

Association to select such arbitrator.  Once the arbitrators have been selected, each party shall submit their position in writing to the arbitrators within thirty (30) days of the end of the discovery period as described in ‎Section 8.09‎(b).  The arbitrators shall then set a date for the arbitration hearing after which the arbitrators will render their decision by majority vote, in writing, based upon a hearing in which evidence may be introduced without following the strict rules of evidence, as specified in ‎Section 8.09‎(b), but in which cross-examination and rebuttal will be allowed.  The decision of the arbitrators will be final and binding on all parties to the arbitration and may be entered into any court in New York State with competent jurisdiction.  The arbitrators will have the power to award compensatory money damages, and interest thereon, and will have exclusive jurisdiction over all matters in dispute, but will not have the power to award exemplary or punitive damages.  The parties also agree that the expense of the arbitrators and the legal fees and expense of the prevailing party shall be borne by the losing party as determined by the arbitrators.

 

(b)      In any arbitration pursuant to ‎Section 8.09‎(a), the parties shall be entitled to discovery and to introduce evidence as permitted by the arbitrators by reference to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures and the Federal Rules of Evidence (collectively, the “Federal Rules”), but, consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, the arbitrators shall not be required to comply strictly with such Federal Rules in conducting any such arbitration.  Each party to the arbitration will, upon the written request of any other party, promptly provide the other with copies of documents (including, without limitation, emails and other written communications) relevant to the issues.  Any dispute regarding discovery, or the relevance or scope thereof, shall be determined by the arbitrators, under the guidance of the Federal Rules, which determination shall be conclusive.  The discovery period shall be completed within thirty (30) days following the appointment of the arbitrators.

 

Section 8.10.  Counterparts; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.  This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received counterparts hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto.  Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).

 

Section 8.11.  Entire Agreement; Conflicts.  This Agreement sets out the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and this Agreement supersedes any other agreement, statement, or representation relating to the services provided herein, whether oral or written. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Trust Warehouse Agreement, on the one hand, and any Schedule hereto, on the other hand, the terms of Articles ‎1 through ‎8 of this Trust Warehouse Agreement shall prevail in relation to the Allocation Services and the terms of the Schedules shall prevail in relation to the Storage Services. In the event of a conflict between the terms of Articles ‎1 through ‎8 of this Trust Warehouse Agreement, the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, on the one hand, and the Addendum, on the other hand, the terms of the Addendum shall prevail.

 

Section 8.12.  Severability.  If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

(d)

	
Any advice or information, in whatever form as may be given or provided by the Company for the Customer only, and the Customer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company for all liability, loss, damage, costs and expenses arising out of any other person relying on such advice or information; provided that advice and information which are not related to instructions accepted by the Company are provided gratuitously and without liability.

do such acts so as to bind the Customer by such contracts and acts in all respects notwithstanding any departure from the Customer’s instructions.

 

	
  

	
(b)

	
The Company shall only forward Goods subject to the contracts, terms, conditions and regulations of the various persons, companies or Authorities into whose possession the Goods may pass.

	
  

	
(c)

	
The Customer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company in respect of all liability, loss, damage, costs or expenses arising out of any contracts made in the procurement of the satisfaction of the Customer’s requirements in accordance with this Clause ‎17.

Company acting as Principal

18.2

	
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Schedule C-1, if it is proven that loss of or damage to the Goods occurred, the Company’s liability shall be determined by the provisions contained in any international convention or national law, the provisions of which:

(a)           cannot be departed from by private contract, to the detriment of the claimant; and

	
  

	
(b)

	
would have applied if the claimant had made a separate and direct contract with the actual provider of the particular service in respect of that service or stage of carriage where the loss or damage occurred and received as evidence thereof any particular document which must be issued if such international convention or national law shall apply.

	
18.3

	
Notwithstanding any provision in this Schedule C-1, but subject to Clause ‎18.4, if it can be proved that the loss of or damage to the Goods occurred at sea or inland waterway, the Company’s liability shall be limited to those set out in the Hague-Visby Rules and the Company shall be entitled to rely on all defences, exemptions or limitations provided to carriers by the Hague-Visby Rules.  Reference in the Hague-Visby Rules to carriage by sea shall be deemed to include reference to carriage by inland waterways and the Hague-Visby Rules shall be construed accordingly.

	
18.4

	
Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause ‎18.3, if the loss of or damage to the Goods occurred at sea or on inland waterways, and the owner, charterer or operator of the vessel establishes a limitation fund, the liability of the Company shall be limited to the proportion of the said limitation fund allocated to the Goods.

19.2

	
The current Both-to-Blame Collision Clause as adopted by BIMCO is incorporated in and deemed to form part of this Schedule C-1. If the vessel comes into collision with another vessel as a result of the negligence of the other vessel and any act of negligence of default of the master, marines, pilot or the servant of the carrier in the navigation or in the management of the vessel, the merchant will indemnify the carrier against all loss or liability to the other or non-carrying vessel or her owner insofar as such loss or liability represents loss of or damage to or any claim whatsoever of the owner of the said goods paid or payable by the carrying vessel or her owner as part of his claim against the carrying vessel or carrier. The foregoing provisions shall also apply where the owner operator or those in charge of any vessels or objects other than or in addition to the colliding vessels or objects are at fault in respect of a collision or contract.

 

	
20.

	
Miscellaneous

20.2

	
The rights and remedies conferred on the Company under this Schedule C-1 shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to and without prejudice to any rights or remedies otherwise available (whether at law or in equity) to the Company.

	
20.3

	
The defenses and limits of liability provided for by this Schedule C-1 shall apply in any action against the Company whether such action be founded in contract or tort or in whatsoever form.

	
20.4

	
Each exclusion or limitation in this Schedule C-1 exists separately and cumulatively.  If any clause or sub-clause of any part of this Schedule C-1 is unlawful, that clause or sub-clause shall be deemed deleted, the Schedule C-1 remaining in full force as if the clause or sub-clause had never been contained in it.

	
20.5

	
Warehousing Fees shall begin to accrue upon delivery of the Goods to the Company in accordance with the terms hereof and shall be paid in full.  The Customer shall not be entitled to assert any credit set-off or counterclaim against the Company in order to justify withholding payment of any such Warehousing Fees in whole or in part.
