JBI shall be responsible for the sale of all Fuel generated by the JBI Machines operating at the RockTenn Facility.  JBI shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell any Fuel not purchased by RockTenn pursuant to Section 4.2 to third persons.  If any such person wishes to purchase Fuel, it shall enter into a Fuel Supply Agreement with JBI.  The term of each such Fuel Supply Agreement and the number of U.S. gallons of each grade of Fuel to be sold to such person under such Fuel Supply Agreement (which shall not exceed the number of U.S. gallons of Fuel available for purchase by third persons, taking into account the then-current capacity of the JBI Machines operating at the RockTenn Facility and the number of U.S. gallons of each grade of Fuel being purchased by RockTenn at that time) shall be at the sole discretion of JBI.   For greater certainty, JBI shall not be permitted to enter into a Fuel Supply Agreement with a third person until it has offered such Fuel to RockTenn pursuant to Section 4.2.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall obligated RockTenn to purchase any quantities of Fuel from JBI.

 

4.2  Right of First Offer

 

At least five (5) Business Days prior to the installation of the first JBI Machine at the RockTenn Facility and at least five Business Days prior to the first Business Day of each calendar month following the Start Date of the first JBI Machine installed at the RockTenn Facility, JBI shall provide notice to RockTenn as to the number of U.S. gallons of each grade of Fuel that JBI estimates will be generated by the JBI Machine(s) operating at the RockTenn Facility during such month and the number of U.S. gallons of each grade of Fuel that are available for RockTenn to purchase (taking into account JBI’s supply obligations under existing Fuel Supply Agreements).  RockTenn shall have the option to purchase from JBI any (or all) of the U.S. gallons of Fuel available for RockTenn to purchase, as set forth in such notice.   If RockTenn wishes to purchase any (or all) of such U.S. gallons of Fuel, it shall provide notice to JBI at least two Business Days prior to such Start Date or the first Business Day of such month, as the case may be. Upon receiving such notice, JBI and RockTenn, acting reasonably, shall enter into a Fuel Supply Agreement for the number of U.S. gallons of each grade of Fuel that RockTenn wishes to purchase and the term of such Fuel Supply Agreement (which cannot be less than one month in duration).  JBI shall sell each U.S. gallon of Fuel to RockTenn at a price equal to 80% of the Fuel Price for the grade of such Fuel as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the date such U.S. gallon of Fuel is delivered to RockTenn.

The Audit shall be conducted at JBI headquarters. RockTenn shall bear all costs of the Audit, and the Parties shall schedule a mutually convenient time for the Audit; provided that, Audits shall be conducted during normal business hours and will make commercially reasonable efforts that Audits shall be conducted and concluded as quickly as possible.

Each Audit shall be limited so as not to: (a) unreasonably interfere with the business operations of JBI; or (b) result in the disclosure of any of JBI’s Confidential Information, third party Confidential Information or any other information or property not directly pertinent to verification of compliance with the terms of this Agreement.  JBI shall cooperate fully with RockTenn (including its authorized Representatives) when conducting an Audit.  Any authorized Representatives of RockTenn may conduct an Audit.

 

	
   4.5.3   

	
If an Audit leads RockTenn to conclude that the Gross Revenue it received from JBI for a particular year is less than the amount of Gross Revenue it believes it was entitled to receive, then, unless JBI disputes such conclusion, JBI shall promptly pay the difference to RockTenn (by cheque or wire transfer); provided, however, such Audit may not be conducted more than one (1) year after the particular year that is being audited.

 

	
4.5.4  

	
If an Audit leads JBI to conclude that the Gross Revenue it paid to RockTenn for a particular year is more than the amount of Gross Revenue it believes RockTenn was entitled to receive, then, unless RockTenn disputes such conclusion, RockTenn shall promptly pay the difference to JBI (by cheque or wire transfer); provided, however, such Audit may not be conducted more than one (1) year after the particular year that is being audited.

 

	
4.5.5  

	
RockTenn also shall have the right at any time, but not the obligation, to conduct such inspections of JBI’s operations as RockTenn deems reasonably necessary for the purposes of evaluating JBI’s compliance with applicable Laws and the terms of this Agreement (the “Inspection”); provided that, such Inspection shall not unreasonably, interfere with JBI’s operations.  RockTenn shall have the right to immediately access the Steel Shed if it determines that an emergency situation exists.  JBI shall provide RockTenn keys to the Steel Shed. The costs of any Inspection shall be borne by RockTenn unless the Inspection reveals a violation of Laws or this Agreement, in which case RockTenn’s Inspection costs shall be reimbursed by JBI within ten (10) Business Days of RockTenn’s issuance of a written demand for the same.  Further, JBI shall, at its sole expense, immediately take all actions as RockTenn may reasonably require to remedy any and all violations discovered during an Inspection.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to engage one separate counsel to participate in such defense, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, if (A) outside counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have advised that there may be a conflict of interest (including one or more legal defenses or counterclaims available to it or to other Indemnified Parties which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party) that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or (B)(1) the claim seeks non-monetary relief that, if granted, could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates and (2) the Indemnified Party's outside counsel shall have advised that such claim has a reasonable probability of success.

 

If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to defend such third party claim or demand, or does not defend such third party claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, in addition to any other right or remedy it may have hereunder, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, to defend such third party claim or demand; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnified Party shall not have any obligation to participate in the defense of, or defend, any such third party claim or demand, and (ii) the Indemnified Party's defense of or its participation in the defense of any such third party claim or demand shall not in any way diminish or lessen the obligations of the Indemnifying Party under the agreements of indemnification set forth in this Section.

 

6.4  Trustee and Agent

 

Each Party acknowledges that the Indemnified Party is acting as trustee and agent for its remaining Indemnified Parties, on whose behalf and for whose benefit the indemnity in Section 5.1 or 5.2, as applicable, is provided and that such remaining Indemnified Parties shall have the full right and entitlement to take the benefit of and enforce such indemnity notwithstanding that they may not individually be parties to this Agreement.  Each Party agrees that the Indemnified Party may enforce the indemnity for and on behalf of such remaining Indemnified Parties and, in such event, the Indemnifying Party shall not in any proceeding to enforce the indemnity by or on behalf of such remaining Indemnified Parties assert any defence thereto based on the absence of authority or consideration or privity of contract and irrevocably waives the benefit of any such defence.

 

6.5  Insurance

 

	
6.5.1 

	

JBI and any Representative who performs services under this Agreement shall maintain sufficient insurance coverage to enable it to meet its obligations created by this Agreement and by Law.  Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent this Agreement creates exposure generally covered by the following insurance policies, JBI shall maintain (and shall cause each of its agents, independent contractors and subcontractors performing any services hereunder to maintain) at its sole cost and expense at least the following insurance covering its obligations under this Agreement:

 

  

18

  

 

	
(a)  

	
Commercial General Liability Insurance, including bodily injury and property damage, in an amount not less than $3,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 in the aggregate;

 

	
(b)  

	
Business Automobile Liability Insurance for owned, hired and non-owned vehicles in an amount of not less than $2,000,000 for combined single limit;

 

	
(c)  

	
Workers Compensation Insurance at statutory limits; and

 

	
(d)  

	
Employer’s Liability Insurance at limits not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence.

 

	
(e)  

	
Due to an environmental exposure with this contract, JBI will provide an Environmental Impairment Liability Policy with limits of at least One Million Dollars U.S. ($1,000,000 each incident) and Two Million Dollars U.S. ($2,000,000 aggregate).

 

At RockTenn’s request, JBI shall promptly provide to RockTenn certificates from its insurers indicating the amount of insurance coverage, nature of such coverage and expiration of each applicable policy.

 

The insurance policies described in paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) above shall afford RockTenn with primary coverage, irrespective of any other coverage available to or maintained by RockTenn or JBI, and JBI’s self-insured retention shall not exceed U.S. $100,000 for which JBI hereby expressly assumes responsibility.  The insurance companies providing the foregoing coverage shall have a Best rating of “A” or better.  JBI shall be responsible for maintaining insurance covering its personal property used by it in its performance of this Agreement and shall be solely responsible for damage to or loss of same from any cause.  JBI hereby waives, and shall cause its insurers to waive, all rights of subrogation against RockTenn.

BEFORE JBI BEGINS WORK UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, A COPY OF THE ENDORSEMENT TO JBI’S INSURANCE POLICY AND TWO CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING THAT THE AFORESAID INSURANCE COVERAGES ARE, IN FACT, IN PLACE, AND THAT SAID COVERAGE IS PRIMARY NOTWITHSTANDING THE EXISTENCE, AMOUNT OR AVAILABILITY OF OTHER COVERAGE, SHALL BE DEPOSITED WITH ROCKTENN MARKED FOR THE ATTENTION OF: PURCHASING AGENT, COMPANY, AT THE ADDRESS SHOWN ABOVE.  Such certificates of insurance shall require at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to RockTenn before cancellation, termination, non-renewal or modification.  JBI must further certify to the aforementioned Purchasing Agent that it has obtained similar Certificates of Insurance from each of its subcontractors before each such subcontractor commences any work under this Agreement.  Each subcontractor must be covered by insurance of the same character and in the same amounts as JBI unless RockTenn and JBI mutually agree that reduced coverage is adequate due to the nature of the particular subcontract work.  JBI’s failure to deliver the endorsement and/or RockTenn’s failure to demand such endorsement shall not be deemed a waiver of the requirement therefore, and JBI’s failure to maintain the insurance coverage required hereunder shall in no event relieve JBI of any liability hereunder.

 

	
6.5.2  

	

RockTenn shall maintain sufficient insurance coverage to enable it to meet its obligations created by this Agreement and by Law. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent this Agreement creates exposure generally covered by the following insurance policies, RockTenn shall maintain (and shall cause each of its agents, independent contractors and subcontractors performing any services hereunder to maintain) at its sole cost and expense the following insurance covering its obligations under this Agreement:

 

	
(a)  

	
Commercial General Liability Insurance, including bodily injury and property damage, in an amount of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate;

 

	
(b)  

	
Business Automobile Liability Insurance for owned, hired and non-owned vehicles in an amount of $1,000,000 for combined single limit;

 

	
(c)  

	
Workers Compensation Insurance (May self-insure) at statutory limits; and

 

	
(d)  

	
Employer’s Liability Insurance at limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence.

 

  

19

  

 

At JBI’s request, RockTenn shall promptly provide to JBI certificates from its insurers indicating the amount of insurance coverage, nature of such coverage and expiration of each applicable policy.
