by any User other than the Purchaser except to the extent that the Purchaser benefits from the reduction efforts, in which case the Purchaser shall bear its proportionate share of the costs up to but not in excess of the benefit derived.

  
 Conversely, the Purchaser shall pay the
reasonable costs, including personnel termination costs (including those actuarially determined) determined in accordance with Article 10.8, which result from the Supplier’s fixed cost reduction efforts in response to a permanent or

improvement.

implementation of the Supplier’s curtailment procedures, and/or to verify the other Party’s meter readings a Party, upon at least sixty (60) days prior written notice and at reasonable times and intervals but not more than once in any
calendar year, may require that, at the requesting Party’s cost, an independent public auditor, being a firm of international repute, performs an audit for such purposes. Any such audit shall be pursued diligently and completed no later than
ninety (90) days after its commencement. 

  
 The
Parties shall provide such auditors with the necessary data and explanations reasonably necessary for the calculation of the SUMF Charges and the basis therefor.

as those set out in Article 12.

such auditors shall be provided to both the Purchaser and the Supplier and shall state the results of the aforementioned verifications. If such report reveals that errors have been made and that a Party was overcharged or undercharged by an amount
equal to or greater than USD20,000 or its equivalent in local currency, the report shall state the nature, amount and consequences of such error(s) together with such additional information as is reasonably necessary to explain the genesis of those

costs. 
  
 Failure to make any requisite payment relating to an
overcharge or undercharge within the 28 days period shall constitute a Dispute for resolution in accordance with Article 19. 
  

	 	(I)	At the Purchaser’s request the Supplier shall at the Purchaser’s cost furnish to the Purchaser a certificate by the Supplier’s statutory independent external
auditors, unless agreed otherwise between the parties. This certificate shall certify that the same principles for allocation have been applied by the Supplier in respect of SUMF charges upon all Users and that the amounts charged are in accordance
with this Agreement. Such certificate shall be conclusive as to the amounts certified.

 ARTICLE 7: PAYMENT TERMS 
  

	7.1	The Purchaser shall pay the SUMF Charges in the currency specified in Schedule 1. 

  
 In no event shall either Party be entitled to set off or reduce any payments due and owed to the other Party under this Agreement by any
amount which the first Party claims are owed to it by the other Party pursuant to any other agreement between the Parties. 
  

	7.2	Unless otherwise set out in the relevant Schedules, the provisions set out below apply: 

  

	 	(A)	The Supplier shall provide the Purchaser with an invoice for SUMF Charges by the 5th day of each month. 

  

	 	(B)	For the first two months of every twelve month billing cycle the amount invoiced shall be the amount budgeted for those months in the Annual Plan and Budget.

  

	 	(C)	For the next ten months of such twelve month billing cycle the amount invoiced shall be the actual SUMF Charge for the month before the preceding month. 

  

	 	(D)	The final reconciliation for a twelve month billing cycle shall be made within 60 days of the end of such cycle. The aggregate budgeted SUMF Charges for the first two months of the
cycle shall be reconciled against the aggregate actual SUMF Charges for the eleventh and twelfth months of the cycle and following such reconciliation the relevant Party shall make an adjusting payment against an appropriate invoice or credit note
within thirty (30) days of the date of the relevant invoice or credit note, which credit note or invoice shall include interest computed at the Interest Rate for the applicable period. 

  

	 	(E)	The invoices shall be broken down in sufficient detail to indicate the SUMF Charges for each SUMF Item supplied during the period in question. The SUMF Charge for each SUMF Item
shall in turn be broken down in sufficient detail as the Purchaser may reasonably request and as the Supplier can reasonably provide. 

  

	 	(F)	The Purchaser shall pay each invoice on or before the last day of the month of issue of the relevant invoice. From the due date, interest will accrue on the invoice amount at the
Default Rate. 

  

	 	(G)	If the Purchaser disagrees with an amount invoiced for SUMF Charges, the Purchaser shall advise the Supplier in writing (“Invoice Dispute Notice”) of the amount
disputed within sixty (60) days of the date of the invoice and the reason why the Purchaser considers the SUMF Charges not to be properly made. The Purchaser is not entitled to defer payment of the disputed invoice amount if the disagreement cannot
be resolved before the normal due date. The Purchaser is required to pay timely the entire amount of each invoice. Payment of the entire amount of each invoice shall not constitute approval of any disputed amount for which the Purchaser shall have
provided a timely Invoice Dispute Notice.

	 	(H)	The Parties shall meet to resolve any dispute with respect to an invoice as expeditiously as possible. The Supplier shall provide to the Purchaser within thirty (30) days after
receipt of the Invoice Dispute Notice information in detail sufficient to permit the Purchaser to verify the accuracy of such invoice. The Purchaser shall either accept the Supplier’s response or give written notice to the Supplier that the
Purchaser continues to question such invoice. Promptly after receipt of such notice, the Supplier and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith with respect to resolving such question. If the Supplier and the Purchaser cannot resolve such question
in a mutually satisfactory manner within twenty (20) days after such notice shall have been given, the question shall promptly be submitted to a firm of independent public auditors, of international repute, as determined by mutual agreement between
the Supplier and the Purchaser within another twenty (20) days or, in default of agreement, as chosen by lot from among four independent public auditors, two of which shall be selected by the Supplier and two of which shall be selected by the
Purchaser. Such firm will review the applicable books and records of the Supplier and the Purchaser and make such other investigations it shall deem necessary to resolve such question. The costs of retaining such firm shall be borne by the Purchaser
unless the firm determines that the Purchaser was overcharged by an amount equal to or greater than USD 20,000 or its equivalent in local currency, in which case the costs of retaining such firm shall be borne by the Supplier. The decision of the
auditors shall be final and binding on the parties and not subject to challenge and resolution under Article 19. 

  

	 	(I)	Any refund of any invoice amount shall be promptly made following the final determination as aforesaid and shall include interest at the Interest Rate based on the actual number of
days elapsed from the due date of payment of the original invoice to the date such refund is paid by the Supplier.

year and an estimate of its volume requirement for each SUMF Item for the following four (4) calendar years. 

  

	8.2	Not later than 90 days before the commencement of each calendar year beginning after the Effective Date the Purchaser shall prepare and submit to the Supplier an Annual Production
Programme setting out, month by month, its desired volume requirements for each SUMF Item for the following calendar year. 

  

	8.3	Not later than 60 days before the commencement of each calendar year beginning after the Effective Date the Supplier shall prepare and submit to the Purchaser for approval a draft

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

	8.4	Following receipt by the Purchaser of the draft Annual Plan and Budget, the Parties shall consult and shall each use all reasonable endeavours to reach agreement thereon. Upon the
approval of both Parties, the draft Annual Plan and Budget becomes the Annual Plan and Budget. 

  

	8.5	If the draft Annual Plan and Budget is not approved prior to the commencement of the calendar year to which it relates the most recently approved Annual Plan and Budget shall be
used until the new Annual Plan and Budget is approved. 

  

	8.6	Each Annual Plan and Budget shall be designed to ensure that the SUMF Items are provided in accordance with this Agreement.

	8.8	If there is any Dispute between the Parties on the final Annual Plan and Budget the matter shall be referred for resolution in accordance with Article 19.

  

	8.9	In the event that any SUMF Items are not available at the planned volume rates for any reason whatsoever, the Supplier shall implement the then current curtailment procedures
followed by the Supplier and as specified in Schedule 2 or 4. Unless otherwise provided in any Schedule hereto, such curtailment procedures will be based upon the following priorities, provided that the interests of the Purchaser are
treated fairly: (i) safety; (ii) minimising adverse environmental impact; and (iii) sustaining the operations of the Site as a whole. 

  

	8.10	The Supplier shall have the right to impose curtailment selectively based upon the foregoing considerations regardless of the cause of the curtailment and without liability.
However, nothing in this Article 8 shall permit the Supplier to curtail any SUMF Item based upon its business considerations. 

  

	8.11	If reasonably possible, the Supplier shall advise the Purchaser of any impending curtailment and the Parties shall cooperate to avoid or mitigate the effects of such curtailment in
an economically efficient manner. 

  

	8.12	The Supplier shall provide the Purchaser with a quarterly report on variations from the Annual Plan and Budget no later than thirty (30) days from the end of the relevant quarter.
In the event of a difference between the Annual Plan and Budget and actual annualized results exceeding the total Annual Plan and Budget by more than 3% for the SUMF Item in question or by more than a 3% change in any tariff with respect to the SUMF
Item in question or the equivalent in local currency of USD50,000, whichever is the greater, the Supplier shall consult with the Purchaser and provide relevant explanations for such differences. The Parties will discuss which actions, if any, are to
be taken with respect to such differences.

Article 10.5, the Supplier may terminate the employment of any member of its or any of its Affiliates’ staff substantially involved in the provision of the relevant SUMF Item. In the case of the termination by the Supplier of employment
of any member of its staff as a result of termination of this Agreement under Article 10.2(B), 10.4(A), 10.4(B), 10.5(A) and 10.5(B), the Purchaser will indemnify the Supplier for any redundancy costs in accordance with Article
10.8; provided that such indemnity shall be on a pro rata basis in the proportion of the Purchaser’s share of allocated manpower for its operation to the extent that any employee is not substantially involved in the provision of that
individual SUMF Item. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 10.7 that set out the indemnity of Purchaser for certain redundancy costs of Supplier, at the termination of this Agreement under Article 10.2(C), 10.4(D),
or 10.5(E) any redundancy costs of Supplier as determined in accordance with Article 10.8, shall be paid one half by the Purchaser and one half by the Supplier.

was substantially involved in the provision to the Purchaser of a Long Term SUMF Item or Sole Supplier SUMF or (ii) in the case of the termination of this Agreement as to the supply of an individual Long Term SUMF Item or of a reduction in the Firm
Capacity Reservation as to a Long Term SUMF Item, was substantially involved in the provision to the Purchaser of such SUMF Item, the Purchaser will indemnify the Supplier in full against all and any liabilities, losses, costs, damages, expenses,
demands and claims relating to 

  

	 	(a)	compensation and remuneration (including benefit entitlements and social charges whether contractual or statutory) arising from or in connection with (i) the period of employment
from the date of termination of the SUMF Item to the date of such decision to terminate the Employee and (ii) the relevant notice period applicable to the relevant employee in accordance with the Supplier’s applicable policy and

  

	 	(b)	the termination of his employment provided (i) the Supplier shall make any decision regarding the termination of employment and notify the Purchaser accordingly within 180 days of
notification of the termination of the Agreement or the termination of the supply of an individual Item of SUMF; and (ii) the Supplier has used reasonable endeavours, but has failed, to find suitable alternative employment on the Site for the
employee prior to notifying the employee of his dismissal in accordance with Dutch law and with his contract of employment; (iii) an employee who is transferred by the Supplier to an Affiliate as a result of any such termination shall not be
considered a terminated employee for purposes of this Agreement unless such transfer results in severance costs in which case the Purchaser shall indemnify the Supplier for such severance costs in accordance with this Article 10.8; and (iv)
and notwithstanding the provisions of Article 10.8(a) the severance cost arising out of the termination of such employee’s employment shall be computed by reference to the total length of service of such employee with the Supplier or any
of its Affiliates prior to the date of such decision to terminate the employee’s employment and not by reference to the period specified in Article 10.8(a). 

  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 10.8 that set out payment of certain costs by Purchaser, at
the termination of this Agreement under Article 10.2(C), 10.4(D) or 10.5(E) any redundancy costs of Supplier as determined in accordance with Article 10.8, shall be paid one half by the Purchaser and one half by the
Supplier.

Items under this Agreement. Each Party agrees to cooperate with the other Party in order to facilitate any disconnection and minimise disconnection costs and termination costs. In the event the Supplier purports to cease to provide any Long Term or
Sole Supplier SUMF Item during the ten-year period following the Effective Date as a result of its cessation of operations of all or substantially all of its SUMF Assets at the Site or its cessation of supply to the entire Site of such SUMF Item,
the Supplier shall continue to provide the Purchaser with such SUMF Item for the balance of the ten-year period on a basis which is the economic equivalent of the Supplier’s supply to the Purchaser of such SUMF Item prior to the Supplier’s
cessation of operations or supply. The manner in which the Supplier continues to provide such SUMF Item on an economically equivalent basis shall be within the Supplier’s sole discretion and may include the transfer by the Supplier of SUMF
Assets, the assignment of all or part of this Agreement to Third Parties, the investment in alternative assets and the procurement of comparable items from Third Parties. In the event such termination occurs following the tenth anniversary of the
Effective Date, the provisions of Article 10.10 shall apply to Supplier’s provision of SUMF Items. 

  

	10.10	Upon termination of this Agreement, the Parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, shall negotiate for the continued provision of any essential SUMF Items on commercially
competitive terms and conditions, including price, which shall in any event be sufficient to provide the Supplier with full recovery of its cash costs plus a return on capital and capital reimbursement consistent with the other SUMF infrastructure
charges contained in this Agreement. In addition, if such termination occurs any time after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, 

  

	 	(a)	the Supplier shall consider, without obligation, the same remedies which it may consider upon termination of the provision of SUMF Items during the ten-year period commencing with
the Effective Date pursuant to Article 10.8; and 

  

	 	(b)	the Purchaser shall have the right to continue to receive from the Supplier any essential Long Term or Sole Supplier SUMF Items for which the Purchaser cannot obtain a reasonable
alternative source elsewhere. 

  

	10.11	Subject to Articles 10.9 and 10.10 any termination of this Agreement, in whole or in part, including the termination of the supply of an individual SUMF Item shall be
final and neither Party shall have the right to resumption of the terminated supply of such SUMF Item under this Agreement or another Agreement. 

  

	10.12	Termination of this Agreement under this Article 10 shall not affect the provisions of Articles 6 (as to audit rights), 9, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10, 10.11,
10.12, 10.13, 10.14, 11, 12, 14, 19, 23, 25, 26, 27 and 28 which shall continue in full force and effect. 

  

	10.13	 Within 60 days after termination of this Agreement, the Supplier shall provide a final reconciliation of SUMF Charges. Any overcharges or undercharges shall be paid
by the 

  

			
	25	 	Pernis SUMF Agreement (Kraton/SNC)

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

	 	Party owing the same within twenty (20) days following the final reconciliation (after any required adjustments have been made). The final recalculation shall be broken down in such
detail as the Purchaser may reasonably request and as the Supplier can reasonably provide. From the due date of the reconciliation payment, interest will accrue at the Default Rate. The Parties shall meet to resolve any dispute relating to the final
reconciliation as expeditiously as possible in accordance with Article 19. 

  

	10.14	Termination of this Agreement and termination of the supply of any individual SUMF Item shall be without prejudice to the accrued rights and liabilities of the Parties at the time
of such termination and all provisions of this Agreement necessary for the full enjoyment thereof shall survive termination for the period so necessary. 

  
 ARTICLE 11: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS 
  

	11.1	Neither this Agreement nor the performance by any of the Parties of its duties hereunder shall operate to convey, license or otherwise transfer from one Party to another any patent,
know-how, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights. 

  

	11.2	The copyright and any other industrial property rights and property in any Confidential Record or other material supplied under this Agreement shall, in the absence of any express

that the disclosing Party requests in accordance with applicable rules confidential treatment of such information by any such securities exchange or agency to whom such information is required to be disclosed;

	 	(D)	disclosed on a strictly confidential basis to an Affiliate or Affiliates; 

  

	 	(E)	disclosed on a strictly confidential basis to bona fide potential or actual purchasers of a proprietary interest in or potential or actual operators of either the Plant or the Site;

  

	 	(F)	disclosed to the corporate shareholders or other equity owners of the Parties; 

  

	 	(G)	that the information is lawfully known to the Party (without binder of secrecy) at the time of disclosure; or 

  

	 	(H)	that the information has come into the public domain through no fault of that Party; 

  

	 	(I)	that the other Party has given prior written approval to such disclosure; or 

  

	 	(J)	disclosed to the extent necessary to seek enforcement of, or to defend, the contractual rights or obligations of a Party under this Agreement, any Transaction Documents or other
related agreements, or to satisfy an obligation or duty under this Agreement. 

  

	12.3	If the Purchaser should wish to disclose confidential information to a potential Third Party operator of the Plant, it shall first obtain the permission of the Supplier as to the
information that can be disclosed. The Supplier shall act on a Commercially Reasonable basis when considering a request from the Purchaser pursuant to this provision. 

  

	12.4	The restrictions contained in Article 12.1 shall continue to apply for ten (10) years.

 EXECUTION COPY 
  
 ARTICLE 13: ADDITIONAL SUMF AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS TO SUMF ASSETS 
  

	13.1	The Purchaser may submit from time to time to Supplier written requests for Supplier to undertake capital improvement projects relating to the supply of SUMF Items. Any such request
shall specify in reasonable detail the capital improvements to be made, any permits that may be required, the estimated cost of such capital improvements, any proposed changes to this Agreement or to any Schedule, and any other relevant information
relating to such capital improvement project. Supplier agrees that it will consider in good faith any such request, but Supplier shall have no obligation to agree to undertake any such capital improvement project and may reject any request by
Purchaser. Supplier shall provide Purchaser a written explanation for a rejection. If Supplier agrees to undertake any such capital improvement project, Purchaser shall be responsible for all costs associated with such project, without duplication
of other amounts paid or payable by Purchaser under this Agreement including (a) the cost of completing the capital improvements, (b) Supplier’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with such project, and (c) any increased costs of
operation suffered by Supplier as a result of such project. 

  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser has the right, provided there is no unreasonable disruption to any other of the Supplier’s operations, to obtain from other sources, including in-house production by
the Purchaser, such new or additional requirements of the relevant SUMF Item as the requested project was to cover. 
  
 Any reasonable costs incurred by the Supplier in evaluating a requested capital improvement project shall be reimbursed to the Supplier by the Purchaser;
provided that when incurring such costs the Supplier has acted on a Commercially Reasonable basis. 
  

	13.2	If a capital improvement to a SUMF Asset is required by applicable law or HSE regulations solely because of the Purchaser’s process, products or by-products, the costs directly
related to such capital improvement shall be borne by the Purchaser. 

  
 ARTICLE 14: DAMAGE TO SUMF ASSETS 
  

	14.1	If SUMF Assets are damaged or destroyed, the owner of the SUMF Asset shall timely restore such asset as soon as is practical following the damage or destruction.

  

	14.2	If the owner does not timely fulfill its obligation to restore the SUMF Asset, the other Party may at its discretion take such other reasonable measures as are necessary or useful
to find an alternative source for any relevant SUMF Item or its equivalent for the benefit of all Users on a temporary basis until such restoration is complete. 

  

	14.3	The Party causing damage to a SUMF Asset as a result of its Gross Negligence or Wilful Misconduct shall assume liability for any incremental costs of such alternative SUMF Items so
that the Users of such SUMF Items other than such Party or its Affiliates pay the same amount for such SUMF Items during such temporary period as such Users paid prior to the damage or destruction of the relevant SUMF Assets.

 EXECUTION COPY 
  
 ARTICLE 15: METERING OF SUPPLY, CONSUMPTION AND DELIVERY 
  

	15.1	The quantities of certain SUMF Items supplied hereunder shall be measured by a Meter. The Meter shall be installed, owned and operated at the expense of the Party indicated in
Schedule 2 as the Meter owner. The Meter owner shall read the Meter on a regular basis as described in Schedule 2 and shall promptly advise the other Party in writing of the reading. Such readings shall form the basis for preparing the
Supplier’s invoices pursuant to Articles 5, 6 and 7. 

  

	15.2	The Parties acknowledge that the Meters are not normal custody transfer meters. The Meter owner shall, at its expense, perform normal maintenance procedures to maintain the accuracy
of its Meters. Each Meter shall be tested for accuracy and calibrated regularly per industry standards as specified in Schedule 2 by the Meter owner at its expense. The Meter owner shall give the other Party a written schedule of calibration
test times, and the other Party shall have the right to have its representative present to observe each calibration test. If the other Party desires to conduct more frequent calibration tests, such Party may request that more frequent tests be
conducted, in which case the Meter owner will perform or cause to be performed such tests at the other Parry’s expense. 

  

	15.3	Following any calibration test made pursuant to this Article 15, the Meter owner at its expense shall restore an inaccurate component to a condition of accuracy or
replace such component as soon as reasonably practical. If the level of inaccuracy exceeds that specified in Schedule 2, the readings affected by said component shall be corrected by the amount of the inaccuracy for the period which is
definitely known to be affected by such inaccuracy. If the period is not definitely known and is not mutually agreed upon, the correction shall be made for a period one-half of the time elapsed between the last prior calibration test and the date
the inaccuracy is corrected. Adjustments to a previously issued incorrect invoice shall be made promptly by the Supplier. 

  

	15.4	The Parties acknowledge that special metering problems may arise which can be resolved by procedures other than those described in this Article 15. The Parties may, by mutual
consent, establish special procedures for a specific problem or accept delivery quantities in a manner not described herein. Mutual consent for acceptance of one special procedure or delivery quantity will not set aside the provisions of this
Article 15, nor imply acceptance by either Party of any special provision at a future time. 

  

	15.5	 Should the Supplier or the Purchaser fail to obtain suitable measurement results from the Meter, the quantities of SUMF provided during the period in question shall
be calculated by the other Party in the event that the other Party has installed its own check meter and it has been calibrated according to this Article 15 within ninety (90) days of the period in question. In the event that neither Party
has obtained suitable measurement results, the amount of the relevant SUMF Item supplied in the period in question shall be estimated, using the average of delivered quantities for a period of time agreed upon by both Parties, 

  

			
	29	 	Pernis SUMF Agreement (Kraton/SNC)

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

	 	or by any other means mutually agreed upon by both Parties. If a Party installs a check meter, the other Party shall have the right to have its representative at any calibration
test of the check meter. A Party installing a check meter shall perform all maintenance and calibration tests of the check meter at its own expense, and shall furnish the other Party with all readings obtained from the check meter.

  

	15.6	The Parties shall complete promptly the identification of all receipt and Delivery Points for the various SUMF Items described in Schedule 2 and all drawings related thereto.

  

	15.7	If there is no Meter at a Delivery Point the allocation method set out in Schedule 6 shall be used. The Joint Operating Committee shall have the authority to update and/or
correct any allocation method, with any updating and/or corrections being adjusted prospectively. Either Party may, at its own expense, install a Meter in lieu of allocation. 

  

	15.8	Methods for allocating line losses and differences resulting from measurement discrepancies shall be set out in Schedule 2. 

  
 ARTICLE 16: JOINT OPERATING COMMITTEE 
  

	16.1	The Supplier and the Purchaser shall jointly establish the Joint Operating Committee to review the operation of this Agreement and the supply of SUMF hereunder in an effort to
ensure the smooth and efficient operation of this Agreement. The structure and role of the Joint Operating Committee is set out in Schedule 5. 

  

	16.2	Every two (2) years, or as often as either Party may reasonably require, the Joint Operating Committee will review the overall effectiveness of this Agreement and will discuss
possible opportunities for improvement. 

  
 ARTICLE 17:
MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	17.1	Both Parties shall perform their respective duties under this Agreement (i) following standards applied by the industry in similar operations and in keeping with good industry
practice and in compliance with applicable law and (ii) in a manner each Party reasonably believes to be fair to the other Party. 

  

	17.2	The services under this Agreement shall be provided in accordance with Shell’s HSE and Technical Standards. 

  

	17.3	The Parties will keep each other timely informed about planned turnarounds, shutdowns, major technical projects, capital expenditures and any other major events which in each case
are relevant to the supply or cost of any SUMF Item and/or the operation of the Purchaser’s Property. The Supplier shall take such Reasonable Actions within its control so as to minimise the impact to the Purchaser of any planned turnaround,
shutdown, major technical project, capital expenditure and any other major event which may adversely impact the supply of any SUMF Item, without prejudice to health, safety and environmental standards. The Parties shall keep each other timely
informed of any adjustments or changes to these plans.

	17.4	Purchaser explicitly waives any rights to claim pursuant to this Agreement against Shell Nederland B.V. on the basis of the filing by Shell Nederland B.V. of a “verklaring van
aansprakelijkheid” under Article 2:403 of the Dutch Civil Code. 

  
 ARTICLE 18: FORCE MAJEURE 
  

	18.1	A Party will not be in breach of this Agreement (except for breach of an obligation to pay money due and payable under this Agreement) to the extent: 

  

	 	(A)	performance by the Party is delayed or prevented by Force Majeure; 

  

	 	(B)	the Party claiming relief under this Article promptly notifies the other Party of the circumstances giving rise to Force Majeure and their anticipated duration; and

  

	 	(C)	the Party so claiming relief undertakes to take Reasonable Actions to remedy and overcome the cause of such Force Majeure as promptly as possible. 

  

	18.2	Upon remedying or overcoming the circumstances giving rise to Force Majeure, the Party claiming relief under this Article shall promptly notify the other Party of the termination of
such Force Majeure condition. 

  

	18.3	If the Force Majeure in question prevails for a continuous period in excess of thirty (30) days after the date on which the Force Majeure begins, the Parties shall consult together
with a view to determining mutually acceptable measures to overcome the difficulties arising therefrom. 

  

	18.4	“Force Majeure” means, in relation to either Party, an event, condition or circumstance beyond the reasonable control of that Party and without the fault or
negligence of the Party claiming Force Majeure which causes a delay or disruption in the performance by such Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement including, without limitation: 

  

	 	(A)	fire, explosion or other disruption, mechanical breakdown, electrical shortage or blackout, decline or shortages of supply, and circumstances arising out of information technology
not being millennium compliant; and 

  

	 	(B)	lock-outs, strikes and other industrial disputes. 

  
 For the avoidance of doubt, the settlement of a labour strike, lockout or any other kind of labour dispute is not within the reasonable control of the
Party affected and the requirements of this Article shall not oblige that Party to settle a strike, lockout or other labour dispute on terms contrary to its wishes.

	19.5	Any Dispute which cannot be resolved by the Steering Committee shall be submitted to mediation before a mediator selected by the Steering Committee. The Parties shall bear their own

period as may be agreed by the Parties), either Party may submit the matter to arbitration for final, binding and exclusive settlement by three arbitrators in accordance with the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules, with the President of the ICC Court of
International Arbitration to act as the appointing authority, or any other arbitration provided for in Schedule 1, such arbitration to be held in the country where the Site is located at the place specified in Schedule 1.
Any arbitration decision pursuant to this Article 19 shall be final and binding upon the parties and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Costs incurred by the Parties in carrying on any arbitration
proceeding hereunder (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and arbitration fees) shall be determined by the arbitrator by reference to fault. 

  

	19.6	Pending resolution of any Dispute, the Supplier shall consult with the Purchaser with regard to any change to the specification of any SUMF Item with which the Dispute is connected.

  

	19.7	Resolution of any Dispute between the Parties involving payment of money by one Party to the other shall include payment of interest at the Interest Rate.

improvement.

implementation of the Supplier’s curtailment procedures, and/or to verify the other Party’s meter readings a Party, upon at least sixty (60) days prior written notice and at reasonable times and intervals but not more than once in any
calendar year, may require that, at the requesting Party’s cost, an independent public auditor, being a firm of international repute, performs an audit for such purposes. Any such audit shall be pursued diligently and completed no later than
ninety (90) days after its commencement. 

  
 The
Parties shall provide such auditors with the necessary data and explanations reasonably necessary for the calculation of the SUMF Charges and the basis therefor. 
  
 The requesting Party undertakes to procure that such auditors are bound by obligations of confidentiality at least as
strict as those set out in Article 12. 
  
 Any report
produced by such auditors shall be provided to both the Purchaser and the Supplier and shall state the results of the aforementioned verifications. If such report reveals that errors have been made and that a Party was overcharged or undercharged by
an amount equal to or greater than USD20,000 or its equivalent in local currency, the report shall state the nature, amount and consequences of such error(s) together with such additional information as is reasonably necessary to explain the genesis
of those errors and to enable the Parties to avoid recurrence thereof. 
  
 Any refund of an overpayment or payment of an additional sum shall be made within 28 days following the provision by the auditors of their report and shall include interest at the Interest Rate for the time period
commencing when the overpayment was made or the underpayment amount would otherwise have been due and ending on the date of any refund or additional payment in consequence of the audit. 
  
 In the event of an overcharge equal to or greater than USD20,000 or its equivalent in local currency the Supplier will
reimburse the Purchaser, if the Purchaser is the requesting Party, for the audit costs. In the event of an undercharge equal to or greater than USD20,000 or its equivalent in local currency and such an undercharge being attributable to an error or
errors relating to metering equipment owned by the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall reimburse the Supplier, if the Supplier is the requesting Party, for the audit costs. 
  
 Failure to make any requisite payment relating to an overcharge or undercharge within the 28 days period shall constitute a
Dispute for resolution in accordance with Article 19.

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

	 	(I)	At the Purchaser’s request the Supplier shall at the Purchaser’s cost furnish to the Purchaser a certificate by the Supplier’s statutory independent external
auditors, unless agreed otherwise between the parties. This certificate shall certify that the same principles for allocation have been applied by the Supplier in respect of SUMF charges upon all Users and that the amounts charged are in accordance
with this Agreement. Such certificate shall be conclusive as to the amounts certified. 

  
 If the certificate demonstrates that amounts charged have not been properly charged in accordance with this Agreement such that a substantial deviation
has occurred, then the Supplier shall bear the cost of the issue of the certificate. 
  
 Any request for verification of payments made under this Agreement shall be made not later than 12 months from the end of the calendar year in which such payments fell due. 
  

	 	(J)	The Supplier shall inform the Purchaser on a timely basis before the Supplier makes any material change in an allocation key or allocates to Purchaser any SUMF Charge that includes
a specific charge for corporate services included in an Overhead cost and shall include in such information such detail as is reasonably required to communicate the nature of the services provided and the cost being charged to the Purchaser for such
service. 

  
 ARTICLE 7: PAYMENT TERMS 
  

	7.1	The Purchaser shall pay the SUMF Charges in the currency specified in Schedule 1. 

  
 In no event shall either Party be entitled to set off or reduce any payments due and owed to the other Party under this Agreement by any
amount which the first Party claims are owed to it by the other Party pursuant to any other agreement between the Parties. 
  

	7.2	Unless otherwise set out in the relevant Schedules, the provisions set out below apply: 

  

	 	(A)	The Supplier shall provide the Purchaser with an invoice for SUMF Charges by the 5th day of each month. 

  

	 	(B)	For the first two months of every twelve month billing cycle the amount invoiced shall be the amount budgeted for those months in the Annual Plan and Budget.

  

	 	(C)	For the next ten months of such twelve month billing cycle the amount invoiced shall be the actual SUMF Charge for the month before the preceding month. 

  

	 	(D)	The final reconciliation for a twelve month billing cycle shall be made within 60 days of the end of such cycle. The aggregate budgeted SUMF Charges for the first two months of the
cycle shall be reconciled against the aggregate actual SUMF Charges for the eleventh and twelfth months of the cycle and following 

  

					
	 	 	13	 	Berre SUMF Agreement (Kraton)

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

 such reconciliation the relevant Party shall make an adjusting payment against an appropriate
invoice or credit note within thirty (30) days of the date of the relevant invoice or credit note, which credit note or invoice shall include interest computed at the Interest Rate for the applicable period. 
  

	 	(E)	The invoices shall be broken down in sufficient detail to indicate the SUMF Charges for each SUMF Item supplied during the period in question. The SUMF Charge for each SUMF Item
shall in turn be broken down in sufficient detail as the Purchaser may reasonably request and as the Supplier can reasonably provide. 

  

	 	(F)	The Purchaser shall pay each invoice on or before the last day of the month of issue of the relevant invoice. From the due date, interest will accrue on the invoice amount at the
Default Rate. 

  

	 	(G)	If the Purchaser disagrees with an amount invoiced for SUMF Charges, the Purchaser shall advise the Supplier in writing (“Invoice Dispute Notice”) of the amount
disputed within sixty (60) days of the date of the invoice and the reason why the Purchaser considers the SUMF Charges not to be properly made. The Purchaser is not entitled to defer payment of the disputed invoice amount if the disagreement cannot
be resolved before the normal due date. The Purchaser is required to pay timely the entire amount of each invoice. Payment of the entire amount of each invoice shall not constitute approval of any disputed amount for which the Purchaser shall have
provided a timely Invoice Dispute Notice. 

  

	 	(H)	The Parties shall meet to resolve any dispute with respect to an invoice as expeditiously as possible. The Supplier shall provide to the Purchaser within thirty (30) days after
receipt of the Invoice Dispute Notice information in detail sufficient to permit the Purchaser to verify the accuracy of such invoice. The Purchaser shall either accept the Supplier’s response or give written notice to the Supplier that the
Purchaser continues to question such invoice. Promptly after receipt of such notice, the Supplier and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith with respect to resolving such question. If the Supplier and the Purchaser cannot resolve such question
in a mutually satisfactory manner within twenty (20) days after such notice shall have been given, the question shall promptly be submitted to a firm of independent public auditors, of international repute, as determined by mutual agreement between
the Supplier and the Purchaser within another twenty (20) days or, in default of agreement, as chosen by lot from among four independent public auditors, two of which shall be selected by the Supplier and two of which shall be selected by the
Purchaser. Such firm will review the applicable books and records of the Supplier and the Purchaser and make such other investigations it shall deem necessary to resolve such question. The costs of retaining such firm shall be borne by the Purchaser
unless the firm determines that the Purchaser was overcharged by an amount equal to or greater than USD 20,000 or its equivalent in local currency, in which case the costs of retaining such firm shall be borne by the Supplier. The decision of the
auditors shall be final and binding on the parties and not subject to challenge and resolution under Article 19.

	 	(I)	Any refund of any invoice amount shall be promptly made following the final determination as aforesaid and shall include interest at the Interest Rate based on the actual number of
days elapsed from the due date of payment of the original invoice to the date such refund is paid by the Supplier. 

  
 ARTICLE 8: ANNUAL FORECAST; ANNUAL PLAN AND BUDGET; AND CURTAILMENT 
  

	8.1	The Purchaser shall make, on or before 1st June in each calendar year, a non-binding forecast, by quarter, of its volume requirement for each SUMF Item for the forthcoming calendar
year and an estimate of its volume requirement for each SUMF Item for the following four (4) calendar years. 

  

	8.2	Not later than 90 days before the commencement of each calendar year beginning after the Effective Date the Purchaser shall prepare and submit to the Supplier an Annual Production
Programme setting out, month by month, its desired volume requirements for each SUMF Item for the following calendar year. 

  

	8.3	Not later than 60 days before the commencement of each calendar year beginning after the Effective Date the Supplier shall prepare and submit to the Purchaser for approval a draft
Annual Plan and Budget for the following calendar year taking into full account the Annual Production Programme. 

  

	8.4	Following receipt by the Purchaser of the draft Annual Plan and Budget, the Parties shall consult and shall each use all reasonable endeavours to reach agreement thereon. Upon the
approval of both Parties, the draft Annual Plan and Budget becomes the Annual Plan and Budget. 

  

	8.5	If the draft Annual Plan and Budget is not approved prior to the commencement of the calendar year to which it relates the most recently approved Annual Plan and Budget shall be
used until the new Annual Plan and Budget is approved. 

  

	8.6	Each Annual Plan and Budget shall be designed to ensure that the SUMF Items are provided in accordance with this Agreement. 

  

	8.7	For each SUMF Item, the Annual Plan and Budget for the calendar year 1999 or, as applicable, 2000, is set out in Schedule 2. 

  

	8.8	If there is any Dispute between the Parties on the final Annual Plan and Budget the matter shall be referred for resolution in accordance with Article 19.

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

 followed by the Supplier and as specified in Schedule 2 or 4. Unless otherwise provided
in any Schedule hereto, such curtailment procedures will be based upon the following priorities, provided that the interests of the Purchaser are treated fairly: (i) safety; (ii) minimising adverse environmental impact; and (iii) sustaining the
operations of the Site as a whole. 
  

	8.10	The Supplier shall have the right to impose curtailment selectively based upon the foregoing considerations regardless of the cause of the curtailment and without liability.
However, nothing in this Article 8 shall permit the Supplier to curtail any SUMF Item based upon its business considerations. 

  

	8.11	If reasonably possible, the Supplier shall advise the Purchaser of any impending curtailment and the Parties shall cooperate to avoid or mitigate the effects of such curtailment in
an economically efficient manner. 

  

	8.12	The Supplier shall provide the Purchaser with a quarterly report on variations from the Annual Plan and Budget no later than thirty (30) days from the end of the relevant quarter.
In the event of a difference between the Annual Plan and Budget and actual annualized results exceeding the total Annual Plan and Budget by more than 3% for the SUMF Item in question or by more than a 3% change in any tariff with respect to the SUMF
Item in question or the equivalent in local currency of USD50,000, whichever is the greater, the Supplier shall consult with the Purchaser and provide relevant explanations for such differences. The Parties will discuss which actions, if any, are to
be taken with respect to such differences.

obligation, it may, at its own cost, conduct negotiations for the settlement of any claim made against the indemnified Party, and any litigation that may arise therefrom in such reasonable manner as the other Party shall from time to time approve,
such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The indemnified Party shall not make any admission which is prejudicial to the indemnifying Party unless the indemnifying Party has failed to accept its indemnity obligations within 20 days

	10.1	This Agreement shall be of full force and effect on and from the Effective Date and shall continue for an initial term of twenty (20) years from the Effective Date and shall be

(ii) by Supplier pursuant to Article 10.4(A) or 10.5(A). Each Party agrees to cooperate with the other Party in order to facilitate disconnection and minimize disconnection costs. The Supplier shall pay the costs associated with the
physical disconnection of the Long Term SUMF Item that are not required to be paid by the Purchaser as provided in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 10.6, the costs associated with the physical
disconnection of all SUMF Items at the termination of this Agreement under Article 10.2 (B), 10.4 (C) or 10.5(D) shall be paid one half by the Purchaser and one half by the Supplier. 

  

	10.7	In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Articles 10.2(A), 10.3, 10.4(A), 10.4(B), and 10.5, the Supplier may terminate the
employment of any member of its or any of its Affiliates’ staff substantially involved in the provision of SUMF Items to the Purchaser under this Agreement. In the event of termination of this Agreement as to the supply of an individual SUMF
Item pursuant to Article 10.5, the Supplier may terminate the employment of any member of its or any of its Affiliates’ staff substantially involved in the provision of the relevant SUMF Item. In the case of the termination by the
Supplier of employment of any member of its staff as a result of termination of this Agreement under Article 10.2(A), 10.4(A) and 10.5(A) the Purchaser will indemnify the Supplier for any redundancy costs in accordance with
Article 10.8; provided that such indemnity shall be on a pro rata basis in the proportion of the Purchaser’s share of allocated manpower for its operation to the extent that any employee is not substantially involved in the
provision of that individual SUMF Item. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 10.7 that set out the indemnity of Purchaser for certain redundancy costs of Supplier, at the termination of this Agreement under Article
10.2(B), 10.4(C), or 10.5(D) any redundancy costs of Supplier as determined in accordance with Article 10.8, shall be paid one half by the Purchaser and one half by the Supplier.

from the date of termination of the SUMF Item to the date of such decision to terminate the Employee and (ii) the relevant notice period applicable to the relevant employee in accordance with the Supplier’s applicable policy and

  

	 	(b)	the termination of his employment provided (i) the Supplier shall make any decision regarding the termination of employment and notify the Purchaser accordingly within 180 days of
notification of the termination of the Agreement or the termination of the supply of an individual Item of SUMF; and (ii) the Supplier has used reasonable endeavours, but has failed, to find suitable alternative employment on the Site for the
employee prior to notifying the employee of his dismissal in accordance with Dutch law and with his contract of employment; (iii) an employee who is transferred by the Supplier to an Affiliate as a result of any such termination shall not be
considered a terminated employee for purposes of this Agreement unless such transfer results in severance costs in which case the Purchaser shall indemnify the Supplier for such severance costs in accordance with this Article 10.8; and
(iv) and notwithstanding the provisions of Article 10.8(a) the severance cost arising out of the termination of such employee’s employment shall be computed by reference to the total length of service of such employee with the Supplier
or any of its Affiliates prior to the date of such decision to terminate the employee’s employment and not by reference to the period specified in Article 10.8(a). 

  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 10.8 that
set out payment of certain costs by Purchaser, at the termination of this Agreement under Article 10.2(B), 10.4(C) or 10.5(D) any redundancy costs of Supplier as determined in accordance with Article 10.8, shall be
paid one half by the Purchaser and one half by the Supplier. 
  

	10.9	Each Party shall exercise its Reasonable Actions to minimise any adverse effect to the other Party resulting from the termination of the rendering, in whole or in part, of any SUMF
Items under this Agreement. Each Party agrees to cooperate with the other Party in order to facilitate any disconnection and minimise disconnection costs and termination costs. In the event the Supplier purports to cease to provide any Long Term or
Sole Supplier SUMF Item during the ten-year period following the Effective Date as a result 

  

					
	 	 	23	 	Berre SUMF Agreement (Kraton)

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

 of its cessation of operations of all or substantially all of its SUMF Assets at the Site or its
cessation of supply to the entire Site of such SUMF Item, the Supplier shall continue to provide the Purchaser with such SUMF Item for the balance of the ten-year period on a basis which is the economic equivalent of the Supplier’s supply to
the Purchaser of such SUMF Item prior to the Supplier’s cessation of operations or supply. The manner in which the Supplier continues to provide such SUMF Item on an economically equivalent basis shall be within the Supplier’s sole
discretion and may include the transfer by the Supplier of SUMF Assets, the assignment of all or part of this Agreement to Third Parties, the investment in alternative assets and the procurement of comparable items from Third Parties. In the event
such termination occurs following the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, the provisions of Article 10.10 shall apply to Supplier’s provision of SUMF Items. 
  

	10.10	Upon termination of this Agreement, the Parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, shall negotiate for the continued provision of any essential SUMF Items on commercially
competitive terms and conditions, including price, which shall in any event be sufficient to provide the Supplier with full recovery of its cash costs plus a return on capital and capital reimbursement consistent with the other SUMF infrastructure
charges contained in this Agreement. In addition, if such termination occurs any time after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, 

  

	 	(a)	the Supplier shall consider, without obligation, the same remedies which it may consider upon termination of the provision of SUMF Items during the ten-year period commencing with
the Effective Date pursuant to Article 10.8; and 

  

	 	(b)	the Purchaser shall have the right to continue to receive from the Supplier any essential Long Term or Sole Supplier SUMF Items for which the Purchaser cannot obtain a reasonable
alternative source elsewhere. 

  

	10.11	Subject to Articles 10.9 and 10.10 any termination of this Agreement, in whole or in part, including the termination of the supply of an individual SUMF Item shall be
final and neither Party shall have the right to resumption of the terminated supply of such SUMF Item under this Agreement or another Agreement. 

  

	10.12	Termination of this Agreement under this Article 10 shall not affect the provisions of Articles 6 (as to audit rights), 9, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10, 10.11,
10.12, 10.13, 10.14, 11, 12, 14, 19, 23, 25, 26, 27 and 28 which shall continue in full force and effect. 

  

	10.13	Within 60 days after termination of this Agreement, the Supplier shall provide a final reconciliation of SUMF Charges. Any overcharges or undercharges shall be paid by the Party
owing the same within twenty (20) days following the final reconciliation (after any required adjustments have been made). The final recalculation shall be broken down in such detail as the Purchaser may reasonably request and as the Supplier can
reasonably provide. From the due date of the reconciliation payment, interest will accrue at the Default Rate. The Parties shall meet to resolve any dispute relating to the final reconciliation as expeditiously as possible in accordance with
Article 19. 

  

					
	 	 	24	 	Berre SUMF Agreement (Kraton)

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

	10.14	Termination of this Agreement and termination of the supply of any individual SUMF Item shall be without prejudice to the accrued rights and liabilities of the Parties at the time

 ARTICLE 11: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS 
  

	11.1	Neither this Agreement nor the performance by any of the Parties of its duties hereunder shall operate to convey, license or otherwise transfer from one Party to another any patent,
know-how, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights. 

  

	11.2	The copyright and any other industrial property rights and property in any Confidential Record or other material supplied under this Agreement shall, in the absence of any express
provision to the contrary thereon, remain with the disclosing Party. 

  
 ARTICLE 12: CONFIDENTIALITY 
  

	12.1	Subject to Article 12.2, each Party shall treat as strictly confidential (and shall not disclose) all information received or obtained as a result of entering into or
performing this Agreement which relates to: 

  

	 	(A)	the provisions of this Agreement; 

  

	 	(B)	the negotiations relating to this Agreement; 

  

	 	(C)	the performance of this Agreement; 

  

	 	(D)	the other Party or any aspect of its business or operations; or 

  

	 	(E)	the subject matter of this Agreement. 

  

	12.2	Either Party may disclose information which would otherwise be confidential if and to the extent: 

  

	 	(A)	required by the law of any jurisdiction to which the disclosure is subject; 

  

	 	(B)	required by any securities exchange or agency to which either Party is subject, wherever situated, whether or not the requirement has the force of law; provided that the disclosing
Party requests in accordance with applicable rules confidential treatment of such information by any such securities exchange or agency to whom such information is required to be disclosed; 

  

	 	(C)	disclosed on a strictly confidential basis to the professional advisers or auditors of the Party or to any actual or potential bankers or financiers of that Party;

	 	(G)	that the information is lawfully known to the Party (without binder of secrecy) at the time of disclosure; or 

  

	 	(H)	that the information has come into the public domain through no fault of that Party; 

  

	 	(I)	that the other Party has given prior written approval to such disclosure; or 

  

	 	(J)	disclosed to the extent necessary to seek enforcement of, or to defend, the contractual rights or obligations of a Party under this Agreement, any Transaction Documents or other
related agreements, or to satisfy an obligation or duty under this Agreement. 

  

	12.3	If the Purchaser should wish to disclose confidential information to a potential Third Party operator of the Plant, it shall first obtain the permission of the Supplier as to the
information that can be disclosed. The Supplier shall act on a Commercially Reasonable basis when considering a request from the Purchaser pursuant to this provision. 

  

	12.4	The restrictions contained in Article 12.1 shall continue to apply for ten (10) years. 

  
 ARTICLE 13: ADDITIONAL SUMF AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS TO SUMF ASSETS 
  

	13.1	The Purchaser may submit from time to time to Supplier written requests for Supplier to undertake capital improvement projects relating to the supply of SUMF Items. Any such request
shall specify in reasonable detail the capital improvements to be made, any permits that may be required, the estimated cost of such capital improvements, any proposed changes to this Agreement or to any Schedule, and any other relevant information
relating to such capital improvement project. Supplier agrees that it will consider in good faith any such request, but Supplier shall have no obligation to agree to undertake any such capital improvement project and may reject any request by
Purchaser. Supplier shall provide Purchaser a written explanation for a rejection. If Supplier agrees to undertake any such capital improvement project, Purchaser shall be responsible for all costs associated with such project, without duplication
of other amounts paid or payable by Purchaser under this Agreement including (a) the cost of completing the capital improvements, (b) Supplier’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with such project, and (c) any increased costs of
operation suffered by Supplier as a result of such project. 

  

					
	 	 	26	 	Berre SUMF Agreement (Kraton)

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser has the right, provided there is no unreasonable
disruption to any other of the Supplier’s operations, to obtain from other sources, including in-house production by the Purchaser, such new or additional requirements of the relevant SUMF Item as the requested project was to cover. 

 
 Any reasonable costs incurred by the Supplier in evaluating a requested
capital improvement project shall be reimbursed to the Supplier by the Purchaser; provided that when incurring such costs the Supplier has acted on a Commercially Reasonable basis. 
  

	13.2	If a capital improvement to a SUMF Asset is required by applicable law or HSE regulations solely because of the Purchaser’s process, products or by-products, the costs directly
related to such capital improvement shall be borne by the Purchaser. 

  
 ARTICLE 14: DAMAGE TO SUMF ASSETS 
  

	14.1	If SUMF Assets are damaged or destroyed, the owner of the SUMF Asset shall timely restore such asset as soon as is practical following the damage or destruction.

  

	14.2	If the owner does not timely fulfill its obligation to restore the SUMF Asset, the other Party may at its discretion take such other reasonable measures as are necessary or useful
to find an alternative source for any relevant SUMF Item or its equivalent for the benefit of all Users on a temporary basis until such restoration is complete. 

  

	14.3	The Party causing damage to a SUMF Asset as a result of its Gross Negligence or Wilful Misconduct shall assume liability for any incremental costs of such alternative SUMF Items so
that the Users of such SUMF Items other than such Party or its Affiliates pay the same amount for such SUMF Items during such temporary period as such Users paid prior to the damage or destruction of the relevant SUMF Assets.

  
 ARTICLE 15: METERING OF SUPPLY, CONSUMPTION AND DELIVERY

  

	15.1	The quantities of certain SUMF Items supplied hereunder shall be measured by a Meter. The Meter shall be installed, owned and operated at the expense of the Party indicated in
Schedule 2 as the Meter owner. The Meter owner shall read the Meter on a regular basis as described in Schedule 2 and shall promptly advise the other Party in writing of the reading. Such readings shall form the basis for preparing the
Supplier’s invoices pursuant to Articles 5, 6 and 7. 

  

	15.2	The Parties acknowledge that the Meters are not normal custody transfer meters. The Meter owner shall, at its expense, perform normal maintenance procedures to maintain the accuracy
of its Meters. Each Meter shall be tested for accuracy and calibrated regularly per industry standards as specified in Schedule 2 by the Meter owner at its expense. The Meter owner shall give the other Party a written schedule of calibration
test times, and the other Party shall have the right to have its representative present to observe each calibration test. If the other Party desires to conduct more frequent calibration tests, such Party may request that more frequent tests be
conducted, in which case the Meter owner will perform or cause to be performed such tests at the other Party’s expense. 

  

					
	 	 	27	 	Berre SUMF Agreement (Kraton)

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

	15.3	Following any calibration test made pursuant to this Article 15, the Meter owner at its expense shall restore an inaccurate component to a condition of accuracy or replace
such component as soon as reasonably practical. If the level of inaccuracy exceeds that specified in Schedule 2, the readings affected by said component shall be corrected by the amount of the inaccuracy for the period which is definitely
known to be affected by such inaccuracy. If the period is not definitely known and is not mutually agreed upon, the correction shall be made for a period one-half of the time elapsed between the last prior calibration test and the date the
inaccuracy is corrected. Adjustments to a previously issued incorrect invoice shall be made promptly by the Supplier. 

  

	15.4	The Parties acknowledge that special metering problems may arise which can be resolved by procedures other than those described in this Article 15. The Parties may, by mutual
consent, establish special procedures for a specific problem or accept delivery quantities in a manner not described herein. Mutual consent for acceptance of one special procedure or delivery quantity will not set aside the provisions of this
Article 15, nor imply acceptance by either Party of any special provision at a future time. 

  

	15.5	Should the Supplier or the Purchaser fail to obtain suitable measurement results from the Meter, the quantities of SUMF provided during the period in question shall be calculated by
the other Party in the event that the other Party has installed its own check meter and it has been calibrated according to this Article 15 within ninety (90) days of the period in question. In the event that neither Party has obtained
suitable measurement results, the amount of the relevant SUMF Item supplied in the period in question shall be estimated, using the average of delivered quantities for a period of time agreed upon by both Parties, or by any other means mutually
agreed upon by both Parties. If a Party installs a check meter, the other Party shall have the right to have its representative at any calibration test of the check meter. A Party installing a check meter shall perform all maintenance and
calibration tests of the check meter at its own expense, and shall furnish the other Party with all readings obtained from the check meter. 

  

	15.6	The Parties shall complete promptly the identification of all receipt and Delivery Points for the various SUMF Items described in Schedule 2 and all drawings related thereto.

  

	15.7	If there is no Meter at a Delivery Point the allocation method set out in Schedule 6 shall be used. The Joint Operating Committee shall have the authority to update and/or
correct any allocation method, with any updating and/or corrections being adjusted prospectively. Either Party may, at its own expense, install a Meter in lieu of allocation. 

  

	15.8	Methods for allocating line losses and differences resulting from measurement discrepancies shall be set out in Schedule 2.

are relevant to the supply or cost of any SUMF Item and/or the operation of the Purchaser’s Property. The Supplier shall take such Reasonable Actions within its control so as to minimise the impact to the Purchaser of any planned turnaround,
shutdown, major technical project, capital expenditure and any other major event which may adversely impact the supply of any SUMF Item, without prejudice to health, safety and environmental standards. The Parties shall keep each other timely
informed of any adjustments or changes to these plans. 

  
 ARTICLE 18: FORCE MAJEURE 
  

	18.1	A Party will not be in breach of this Agreement (except for breach of an obligation to pay money due and payable under this Agreement) to the extent: 

  

	 	(A)	performance by the Party is delayed or prevented by Force Majeure; 

  

	 	(B)	the Party claiming relief under this Article promptly notifies the other Party of the circumstances giving rise to Force Majeure and their anticipated duration; and

  

	 	(C)	the Party so claiming relief undertakes to take Reasonable Actions to remedy and overcome the cause of such Force Majeure as promptly as possible.

with a view to determining mutually acceptable measures to overcome the difficulties arising therefrom. 

  

	18.4	“Force Majeure” means, in relation to either Party, an event, condition or circumstance beyond the reasonable control of that Party and without the fault or
negligence of the Party claiming Force Majeure which causes a delay or disruption in the performance by such Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement including, without limitation: 

  

	 	(A)	fire, explosion or other disruption, mechanical breakdown, electrical shortage or blackout, decline or shortages of supply, and circumstances arising out of information technology
not being millennium compliant; and 

  

	 	(B)	lock-outs, strikes and other industrial disputes. 

  
 For the avoidance of doubt, the settlement of a labour strike, lockout or any other kind of labour dispute is not within the reasonable control of the
Party affected and the requirements of this Article shall not oblige that Party to settle a strike, lockout or other labour dispute on terms contrary to its wishes. 
  
 ARTICLE 19: DISPUTE RESOLUTION 
  

	19.1	Any Dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, excluding invoice Disputes subject to Article 7.2(H), shall be exclusively processed in accordance with this
Article. 

  

	19.2	In the event of a Dispute, the Parties shall, within ten (10) days of a written request by either Party to the other Party, meet in good faith to resolve such dispute or
differences. 

  

	19.3	Any Dispute which cannot be resolved by the Parties shall be submitted to the Joint Operating Committee which shall endeavour to amicably resolve the Dispute. The Parties shall
provide the Joint Operating Committee with such information as it reasonably requires to enable it to determine the issues relevant to the Dispute. 

  

	19.4	Any Dispute which cannot be resolved by the Joint Operating Committee shall be submitted to the Steering Committee which shall endeavour to amicably resolve the Dispute. The Parties
shall provide the Steering Committee with such information as it reasonably requires to enable it to determine the issues relevant to the Dispute. 

  

	19.5	Any Dispute which cannot be resolved by the Steering Committee shall be submitted to mediation before a mediator selected by the Steering Committee. The Parties shall bear

  

					
	 	 	30	 	Berre SUMF Agreement (Kraton)

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

 their own costs for mediation and the costs of the mediator shall be borne equally. If the Parties
are unable to select a mediator within fifteen (15) days or if the Dispute is not resolved as a result of the mediation within sixty (60) days (or such other period as may be agreed by the Parties), either Party may submit the matter to arbitration
for final, binding and exclusive settlement by three arbitrators in accordance with the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules, with the President of the ICC Court of International Arbitration to act as the appointing authority, or any other arbitration
provided for in Schedule 1, such arbitration to be held in the country where the Site is located at the place specified in Schedule 1. Any arbitration decision pursuant to this Article 19 shall be final and binding upon the
parties and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Costs incurred by the Parties in carrying on any arbitration proceeding hereunder (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and arbitration fees) shall be
determined by the arbitrator by reference to fault. 
  

	19.6	Pending resolution of any Dispute, the Supplier shall consult with the Purchaser with regard to any change to the specification of any SUMF Item with which the Dispute is connected.

  

	19.7	Resolution of any Dispute between the Parties involving payment of money by one Party to the other shall include payment of interest at the Interest Rate.

the other Party which the other Party may reasonably consider necessary for: 

  

	 	(A)	giving full effect to this Agreement; and

	22.2	Any assignment of this Agreement shall not relieve either Party of any obligation or liability incurred hereunder and remaining wholly or partially outstanding immediately prior to
the time at which the assignment is to take effect.

this Agreement, or may delegate to any Affiliate or Third Party the performance of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in order to assist the Supplier in the efficient execution of this Agreement provided that the person or company to
whom delegation is made shall be capable of rendering the services. 

  
 ARTICLE 23: SEVERABILITY 
  

	23.1	If any of the provisions of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, void or unenforceable under the law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed to be deleted from this
Agreement and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain and continue in full force and effect. In such event, this Agreement shall be modified to provide the same benefits and burdens (including economic) that would have been provided
had this provision been deleted. In the event that the Parties cannot agree on modifications, the Dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Article 19.

within the time scale shall entitle the Supplier to deem the Other Manufacturer to have approved the sample and given the Supplier authority to discharge the SM from the ship and to receive the SM into the pipelines and tanks on the Site for
ultimate distribution to the Other Manufacturer. The Purchaser shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Supplier from and against all and any claims, liabilities, costs, damages and expenses which may be
brought against Supplier or which Supplier may incur in any way resulting from or attributable to such refusal of authority to discharge.
