	Chevron Branded Marketer Agreement	  	-1-	  	RS19600 REN (09/09/09)

 2. Term. 
 The term of this agreement shall commence on September 1, 2011, and shall end on August 31, 2014.  
 3. Products and Quantities. 
  

	 	(a)	Purchase and Sale Obligations. Marketer shall purchase from Chevron such quantities of the products of Chevron specified below (individually a
“Product”; collectively the “Products”) as are necessary to serve customer demand for the Products in Marketer’s Area of Primary Responsibility. 

Products                    
           
 Chevron Diesel Fuel No. 2 

Chevron Motor Gasolines 

Subject to the limitations set forth in this section 3, Chevron shall sell to Marketer such quantities of the Products as Marketer may order from
Chevron. Without limitation on the foregoing, Marketer agrees to purchase from Chevron during each contract year not less than 5,000,000 gallons of Chevron branded motor gasoline. 

(b) Seasonal Adjustment of Monthly Percentages. As used in this agreement, the “Seasonal Monthly Percentage” for a
particular delivery point, Product, and month means: the average percentage over the prior 10 calendar years (or for such lesser period as Chevron has complete data) of the total annual deliveries of the particular Product to all Chevron customers
made during the particular calendar month from all of the delivery points within the applicable “Terminal Group.” The “Terminal Group” shall consist of one or more delivery points in the same geographic region as designated by
Chevron. For example, if for the prior 10 years, on average, 7.2 percent of the annual total motor gasoline deliveries to Chevron customers from all of the delivery points in the Terminal Group were made during the month of March, then the Seasonal
Monthly Percentage for motor gasoline for March would be 7.2 percent. 
 (c) Monthly Limitation on Sale Obligation.
Subject to adjustment as set forth in sections 3(d) through 3(f) below, Chevron shall not be obligated to sell to Marketer in any calendar month at any delivery point quantities of any Product in excess of the Seasonal Monthly Percentage times the
quantities of such Product actually purchased by Marketer from Chevron and delivered by Chevron to Marketer at the particular delivery point (the “Terminal Annual Quantities”) during the 12 calendar months immediately preceding the
calendar month in question (e.g., the applicable 12-month period for the month of July would begin with the month of July during the prior calendar year and run through the month of June of the current calendar year), either under this agreement or
under any similar prior agreement between Chevron and Marketer. 
 (d) Adjustment for New Marketers. If Marketer has not
been a Chevron Marketer prior to execution of this agreement, then the limitation set forth in section 3(c) shall not apply during the first 12 months of the term of this agreement. During such initial 12-month period, Chevron shall not be obligated
to sell to Marketer in any calendar month at any delivery point quantities of any Product in excess of the Seasonal Monthly Percentage times the sum of the annual volumes for the particular Product to be delivered at the particular delivery point
specified in Exhibit A of the Authorization Agreements for each active Retail Outlet entered into between Chevron and Marketer pursuant to section 8(f). 
 (e) Adjustment for New Retail Outlets. In calculating the volume limitations set forth in section 3(c), an adjustment shall be made as follows in the Terminal Annual Quantities for each Product to
reflect any Authorization Agreements entered into between Chevron and Marketer, and dated after the date of this agreement, for Retail Outlets not previously supplied with Chevron motor fuels by Marketer (“New Retail Outlet”): During the
year following the date (the “Start Date”) on which the New Retail Outlet first commences sale of Chevron motor fuels to motorists (as reflected by sales recorded by Chevron’s Retail Technology System, or any successor system (the
“RTS”)), a percentage (the “Shortfall Percentage”) of the annual volume for the applicable Product specified in Exhibit A to the Authorization Agreement for the New Retail Outlet shall be added to the Terminal Annual Quantities
for the particular delivery point to reflect the fact that Marketer’s actual purchases from Chevron during the portion of the relevant 12-month period falling before the Start Date will not reflect the increase in Marketer’s business due
to sales at the New Retail Outlet. The Shortfall Percentage shall be calculated by adding the Seasonal Monthly Percentages for the applicable Product for any full calendar months during the relevant 12-month period falling before the Start Date for
the particular Retail Outlet. (An example of the adjustments contemplated by this section 3(e) is set forth in Exhibit A.) 

  

					
	Chevron Branded Marketer Agreement	  	-2-	  	RS19600 REN (09/09/09)

 (f) Adjustment for Inactive Retail Outlets. A Retail Outlet for
which Marketer and Chevron have entered an Authorization Agreement shall be considered “inactive” for purposes of this section 3 (and shall not be considered “active” for purposes of section 3(d)) if (1) no motor fuel sales
have been recorded at the Retail Outlet by the RTS for 10 consecutive days, unless Marketer has given Chevron prior written notice that such Retail Outlet will be temporarily out of service for maintenance or construction work together with the
Marketer’s reasonable estimate of the period of time that such Retail Outlet will be out of service or (2) either Chevron or Marketer have terminated the Authorization Agreement for the particular Retail Outlet. In calculating the volume
limitations set forth in section 3(c) an adjustment shall be made to reflect any inactive Retail Outlet, as follows: The Terminal Annual Quantities for the particular Product at the particular delivery point shall be reduced by the amount of the
volume of the particular Product sold at the inactive Retail Outlets during the relevant 12-month period as recorded through the RTS at the inactive Retail Outlet. (An example of the adjustments contemplated by this 3(f) is set forth in Exhibit A.)

 (g) Other Limitations. As used in this agreement, “contract year” shall mean a 12-month period commencing
with the first day of the term of this agreement or any anniversary thereof during the term of this agreement. Deliveries by Chevron to Marketer for any fraction of a calendar month or contract year that this agreement may be in effect shall be in
proportion to the quantities specified above. Although not required to do so, Chevron may at its option and after request by Marketer elect to sell to Marketer quantities of Products in excess of the maximum quantities specified in this agreement.
Deliveries by Chevron to Marketer shall be spaced reasonably evenly over the month in accordance with such procedures as may be reasonably established by Chevron. Marketer’s purchases of each grade of a particular grade or category of Product
shall be in such proportion as Chevron in its sole discretion shall determine. 
 4. Delivery. 

(a) Delivery Points. Subject to later change by Chevron as set forth below, Chevron shall deliver or arrange for the delivery of
Products to Marketer in the manner and at the delivery points set forth below.

event of any such change, the Terminal Annual Quantities attributable to the discontinued delivery point shall be allocated to the new or changed delivery points in such proportion as Chevron may specify. 

  

					
	Chevron Branded Marketer Agreement	  	-4-	  	RS19600 REN (09/09/09)

 (b) Legal Transfer. Title and risk of loss shall pass to Marketer at the delivery
point. 
 (c) Delivery into Marketer’s Vehicles. If deliveries are to be made into vehicles supplied by Marketer,
Chevron shall not be required to make such deliveries into such vehicles unless they are clean and empty immediately prior to delivery and shall not be required to load or deliver quantities less than the full capacity of the vehicle, except as
otherwise authorized by Chevron. Marketer shall comply with such reasonable rules and regulations as Chevron may establish regarding deliveries by Chevron into Marketer’s vehicles. 

(d) Delivery into Marketer’s Storage Facilities. If deliveries are to be made into Marketer’s storage facilities,
Marketer shall provide storage facilities sufficient to enable it to receive such deliveries and shall provide Chevron with unimpeded and adequate ingress thereto and egress therefrom twenty-four hours per day. Marketer shall comply with such
reasonable rules and regulations as Chevron may establish regarding deliveries by Chevron into Marketer’s storage facilities. 
 (e) Delivery by Barge. If deliveries are to be made by barge, Marketer shall provide free wharfage at the delivery point where the barge may at all times lie safely afloat. 

(f) Demurrage. Marketer shall reimburse Chevron on demand for any demurrage or other charges incurred by Chevron by reason of
Marketer’s failure to unload any delivery vehicle or release the same within the time allowed without demurrage or other charge even though such failure may have arisen from causes beyond the control of Marketer. 

(g) Orders for Delivery. Deliveries by Chevron to Marketer shall be made after reasonable notice from Marketer. All orders for
delivery of the Products shall be placed by Marketer at Chevron’s designated order point, unless Chevron gives Marketer written notice of alternate arrangements. 
 5. Price. 
 The prices that Marketer shall pay Chevron for the Products
shall be Chevron’s prices to Marketer in effect at the time and place of each delivery for the particular Product, grade, quantity and type of delivery involved, as established by Chevron. Chevron shall have the right at any time without prior
notice to Marketer to change any or all such prices or the method by which Chevron’s prices to Marketer are determined. 

6. Payment Terms. 
 (a) Cash Terms. Marketer shall, except at Chevron’s option, pay Chevron cash before delivery for the Products. 
 (b) Optional Credit Terms. If Chevron elects to extend credit to Marketer, Marketer acknowledges the importance of payment within the terms specified when credit is extended and agrees that any
past due amounts shall bear interest at the rate of 18% per year or the maximum rate permitted by the state of Marketer’s residence as specified in section 20, whichever is less. If Marketer fails to make payment within the specified
terms, such failure shall, at Chevron’s option, be deemed a breach of this entire agreement and, in addition to such other remedies as it may have, Chevron shall have thereafter the right to demand advance cash payment, to withhold deliveries
until such advance payment (including payment of all amounts then outstanding for Products delivered by Chevron to Marketer) is received, or to terminate this agreement. The acceptance of any payment by Chevron after the due date shall not waive any
of Chevron’s rights nor shall such withholding of deliveries or termination of this agreement affect any obligation of Marketer. If credit is extended to Marketer by Chevron, Marketer shall furnish Chevron with such information regarding
Marketer’s financial condition as Chevron may reasonably request. 
 (c) Change of Payment Terms. Chevron’s
terms of payment are subject to change without notice at the discretion of Chevron. 
 7. Charge or Tax. 

Any tax, duty, toll, fee, impost, charge or other exaction, or the amount equivalent thereto, and any increase thereof now or hereafter
imposed, levied or assessed by any governmental authority upon, measured by, incident to or as a result of the transactions provided for in this agreement (other than local, state and federal net income taxes measured by the net income of Chevron
from all sources), or the transportation, importation, production, manufacture, use or ownership of the goods covered by this agreement, shall, if collectible or payable by Chevron, be paid by Marketer on demand by Chevron. Any such payments shall
be in addition to the prices otherwise 

  

					
	Chevron Branded Marketer Agreement	  	-5-	  	RS19600 REN (09/09/09)

 
provided for in this agreement. Marketer shall, at Chevron’s request, execute and deliver to Chevron such certificates or other documents as Chevron may reasonably require in order to enable
Chevron to secure any tax exemption which may be available in connection with sales or deliveries under this agreement. 
 8.
Product Identity and Chevron’s Insignia. 
 (a) Product Quality. The Products shall be Chevron’s brands,
grades and quality thereof, respectively, as established by Chevron for its Chevron Marketers at the time and place of delivery. Marketer shall not permit the adulteration of any Products. 

(b) Product Identity. Marketer agrees that the Products shall be resold by Marketer only under the trademarks and trade names
authorized by Chevron for the Products, except as provided in section 8(g). At no time shall Marketer sell or offer for sale under such trademarks and trade names any product not authorized by Chevron to be sold thereunder. Marketer shall see that
any likelihood of confusion between the Products and products of other manufacturers or suppliers, and any likelihood of substitution or commingling of the products of others as or with the Products, is eliminated and shall comply with such
reasonable rules and regulations in this regard as Chevron may establish. Chevron’s representatives shall have the right at any time to enter upon the premises where the Products are stored by or for Marketer and to take samples of the Products
for testing purposes, compensating Marketer (at Marketer’s cost, which for this purpose shall be based on Chevron’s price to Marketer under this agreement in effect at the time such samples are taken, or, at Chevron’s option, in kind)
for any Products taken. 
 (c) Chevron’s Insignia. Marketer recognizes Chevron’s right to use and authorize
others to use all trademarks, service marks, trade names, color schemes and service station designs and other elements of Chevron’s trade dress (collectively “Chevron’s insignia”) utilized by Chevron to identify products and
services or the places or outlets where they are sold or marketed. Marketer agrees not to claim any right, title or interest in Chevron’s insignia. Marketer acknowledges the need to control Marketer’s use of Chevron’s insignia in
order to maintain the validity thereof and to assure the continued recognition of, acceptance by, and high regard of the motoring public and other consumers for the products and services and Retail Outlets identified by Chevron’s insignia.
Accordingly, Marketer agrees that Chevron’s insignia shall be used only in such manner as may be approved by Chevron and that Chevron may change Chevron’s insignia and its promotional materials as it sees fit. Marketer shall not simulate
in any way any of Chevron’s insignia. Marketer shall not use any of Chevron’s insignia in Marketer’s company name, nor permit such use in the name of any company in which Marketer has an interest. Marketer shall not register an
Internet domain name containing Chevron’s insignia without Chevron’s prior written consent. Any domain name containing Chevron’s insignia shall be deemed to be Chevron’s insignia for purposes of this agreement. Upon termination
of this agreement, Marketer shall immediately (1) discontinue any and all use of Chevron’s insignia, (2) obliterate Chevron’s insignia from all real or personal property utilized by Marketer, and (3) remove Chevron’s
insignia from all telephone directory listings and any other advertising media utilized by Marketer. Marketer shall thereafter refrain from making any statements or engaging in any conduct that suggests that Marketer remains affiliated with Chevron
in any way. Marketer likewise shall obliterate Chevron’s insignia from any real or personal property of Marketer before selling such property to a third party. 
 (d) Chevron Signs. Signs bearing Chevron’s insignia (including primary identification signs, interior-lighted price signs, pump island spanners, canopy graphics, windshield water and towel
holders, and other identifications) are referred to in this section 8 as “Chevron signs” whether they are owned by Chevron, Marketer or another party. Marketer shall use Chevron signs (or permit their use by others) only (1) in
connection with products manufactured or handled by Chevron, (2) in such manner as may be approved by Chevron, (3) in connection with the operation of a Chevron-approved Retail Outlet offering Chevron brand motor fuels for sale to the
general public, and (4) in accordance with Chevron’s image standards for branded Retail Outlets. All trademark, service mark, and copyright rights and other intellectual property rights in Chevron signs shall remain with Chevron. Marketer
may not use other signs to advertise products purchased from Chevron nor place other signs on a sign pole containing a Chevron sign (except motor fuel price signs) without Chevron’s prior written consent. Marketer shall not transfer ownership
or possession of any Chevron signs (or any trash valets of the design patented by Chevron) unless the transferee agrees in writing to assume all of Marketer’s obligations under this section 8 and Marketer promptly provides Chevron with a true
and correct copy of such assumption agreement. 
 (e) Chevron’s Right to Change Brands, Discontinue Products, and Add
New Products. Chevron shall have the right at any time to change, alter or amend any of the trademarks and trade names under which the Products are now or may hereafter be sold. If Chevron discontinues marketing any Product in any area in which
Marketer distributes the Products, Chevron shall be relieved of all obligations to sell or deliver the discontinued Product to Marketer in the relevant area. If Chevron markets in such area any other motor fuel product in lieu of a discontinued
Product or in addition to the Products (“New Product”), then this agreement shall embrace the New Product and all of 

  

					
	Chevron Branded Marketer Agreement	  	-6-	  	RS19600 REN (09/09/09)

 
the terms and conditions of this agreement applicable to the Products (or previously applicable to any discontinued Product) shall apply to the New Product. Discontinued Products and New Products
may include product grades and categories, and biofuels or other renewable or alternative fuels. Marketer or its customers shall be solely responsible for any investment required for them to handle, distribute, or resell any New Product. 

(f) Branding of Retail Outlets. Marketer shall not use Chevron’s insignia at, or authorize or permit their use by the
operator of, any service station, cardlock facility or other motor fuel retail outlet (collectively “Retail Outlet”) of Marketer or one of Marketer’s customers, unless Chevron in its sole discretion so approves and enters into a
written agreement authorizing the use of Chevron’s insignia (“Authorization Agreement”) at the Retail Outlet with Marketer on terms and conditions satisfactory to Chevron. If the Retail Outlet is operated by someone other than
Marketer, Chevron may condition any Authorization Agreement with Marketer for the Retail Outlet on its operator entering into a written agreement with Marketer regarding the operation of and use of Chevron’s insignia at the Retail Outlet on
terms and conditions satisfactory to Chevron. Chevron reserves the right to approve or establish Retail Outlets anywhere it chooses for operation under the Chevron brand or another brand by other Chevron Marketers or other resellers or by Chevron
itself through its employees or agents. An Authorization Agreement for a Retail Outlet between Chevron and another Chevron Marketer confers no rights on Marketer, and Marketer shall not supply Chevron branded motor fuel to any Retail Outlet supplied
by another Chevron Marketer unless Marketer first enters into its own Authorization Agreement for the Retail Outlet with Chevron. Marketer shall keep complete and accurate records showing the monthly quantities of each Product supplied by Marketer
to each Retail Outlet for which Chevron has entered into an Authorization Agreement with Marketer. Marketer shall also keep, or shall cause Marketer’s retailer customers to keep, complete and accurate inventory records for all motor fuels
stored and sold at such Retail Outlets. Marketer shall submit copies of such records to Chevron as Chevron may request. 
 (g)
Disapproved Retail Outlets. If Chevron is unwilling to enter into an Authorization Agreement with Marketer for a particular Retail Outlet, Marketer may nevertheless supply it (if otherwise legally permitted) provided that Marketer shall not
represent or authorize or permit any other person to represent that the Products supplied are the products of Chevron or use or authorize or permit any other person to use any of Chevron’s insignia or any other identification, designation or
marking of any kind at the Retail Outlet that would identify it or the products sold there with Chevron. It is understood and agreed that Products purchased under this agreement and resold at a Retail Outlet pursuant to this section 8 (g) shall
be sold under Marketer’s brands and trade names or those of Marketer’s customers, and Chevron hereby gives its consent to such rebranding of those Products. If the Retail Outlet is operated by someone other than Marketer, Marketer shall
impose the same obligations on the operator by written agreement in a form satisfactory to Chevron. 
 (h) Marketer’s
Indemnity Obligations. Marketer’s indemnity obligation under section 17 shall include, but not be limited to, any and all expense, liability and claims for damage to property (including property of Marketer), or for injury to or death of
any person (including Marketer), directly or indirectly arising or alleged to arise from anything occurring from any cause on or about or in connection with the maintenance, upkeep, repair, replacement or operation of any Retail Outlet supplied by
Marketer (other than Retail Outlets to which Marketer makes deliveries as Chevron’s agent pursuant to section 22) or anything located thereon, and the insurance to be carried by Marketer pursuant to section 18 shall include, but not be limited
to, insurance in regard to each such Retail Outlet (other than Retail Outlets to which Marketer makes deliveries as Chevron’s agent pursuant to section 22) of the types and in the amounts specified in section 18 and, upon request by Chevron,
Marketer shall furnish Chevron with satisfactory evidence of the maintenance of such insurance. 
 (i) Survival of
Covenants. The covenants contained in this section 8 shall survive termination of this agreement. 
 9. Chevron’s
Card Programs. 
 (a) Terms and Conditions of Card Acceptance. Chevron may, at its option, authorize Marketer or one
or more of Marketer’s retailer customers to participate in Chevron’s credit card or debit card programs (collectively “Chevron’s Card Programs”) and accept credit cards or debit cards approved by Chevron for retail sales
under Chevron’s Card Programs. By participating in and submitting credit card or debit card transactions to Chevron for processing under Chevron’s Card Programs, Marketer agrees to be bound by and honor all of the terms and conditions of
the relevant programs, as established by Chevron. Chevron may now or in the future impose various service charges under Chevron’s Card Programs, and may refuse to process or may charge back to Marketer credit card or debit card transactions in
accordance with the terms and conditions of Chevron’s Card Programs. Chevron reserves the right at any time to change such terms and conditions, or to terminate Chevron’s Card Programs or any authorization to Marketer or Marketer’s
retailer customers to participate in Chevron’s Card Programs. 

  

					
	Chevron Branded Marketer Agreement	  	-7-	  	RS19600 REN (09/09/09)

 (b) Records. In order to help Chevron administer Chevron’s Card Programs,
Marketer shall keep complete and accurate records showing the dollar amount of the Products supplied by Marketer to each Retail Outlet at which credit card or debit card sales are made under Chevron’s Card Programs. Marketer shall submit copies
of such records to Chevron as Chevron may request. 
 10. Conduct of Marketer’s Business. 

(a) Independent Business. In the performance of this agreement Marketer is engaged in an independent business and nothing in this
agreement shall be construed as granting Chevron any right to control or direct Marketer with respect to Marketer’s conduct of such business. Chevron has no right to exercise any control over any of Marketer’s employees, all of whom are
entirely under the control and direction of Marketer, who shall be responsible for their actions and omissions. Marketer accepts exclusive liability for all contributions and payroll taxes required under federal Social Security laws and State
Unemployment Compensation laws or other payments under any laws of similar character as to all persons employed by and working for Marketer. 
 (b) Legal Compliance. Marketer shall conduct all operations in strict compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations of all governmental authorities, including all rules and
regulations of the Department of Transportation, the federal Petroleum Marketing Practices Act and all applicable franchise laws and regulations. Marketer shall supply Chevron with all information which Chevron shall reasonably request to enable
Chevron to comply with all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations of all governmental authorities. Marketer’s indemnity obligation under section 17 shall include, but not be limited to, any and all expense, liability, claims, fines, civil
penalties or demands which may arise or be assessed as a result of any failure by Marketer to comply with any of the foregoing governmental requirements. 
 (c) Sale of Products. Marketer shall diligently promote the sale in Marketer’s Area of Primary Responsibility of the Products, and shall conduct the operation of Marketer’s business in
such a manner as to promote goodwill toward Chevron and the Products. Marketer shall not disparage or diminish in any way by act or omission the good reputation of Chevron, Chevron’s products or the Retail Outlets at which Chevron’s
products are sold. Without limitation on the foregoing, Marketer shall not solicit or request any customer that purchases a Product from Marketer to cease purchasing the Product and instead purchase a competitive product from Marketer, or otherwise
suggest or recommend such a switch. Marketer agrees to assist in the administration of any promotional programs Chevron may establish for its retailer or other customers. Marketer agrees to distribute to Marketer’s customers such promotional
materials supplied by Chevron as Chevron may reasonably request. Marketer shall not sell or distribute the Products as an aviation fuel or for any other application unintended by Chevron. 

11. Oil Spills. 
 If a Product spill occurs anywhere in connection with Marketer’s performance of this agreement, Marketer shall promptly notify Chevron and the appropriate governmental authorities and shall take
immediate action to clean up the spill and prevent further damage. Upon receipt of such notification, Chevron shall have the right, at its election, to provide, or cause to be provided, to Marketer such additional manpower, equipment and material as
in Chevron’s sole discretion are deemed reasonable to complete the clean-up in a satisfactory manner. Marketer shall pay and be responsible for, and Marketer’s indemnity obligation under section 17 shall include, but not be limited to, all
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the clean-up operations, including reimbursement to Chevron for all of its costs and expenses, and all fines, charges, fees or judgments imposed or levied by any federal, state or local governmental
agency as a result of such spill, except in the event the spill resulted solely from any act or omission on the part of Chevron or Chevron’s employees. 
 12. Sale of Marketer’s Business. 
 (a) Offer to Transfer Assets.
Subject to any valid requirements of any applicable statute, if at any time during the term of this agreement, Marketer desires to sell, lease or otherwise transfer all or any part of the assets (including but not limited to real or personal
property, contract rights, accounts receivable, customer lists and other intangible assets) then used by Marketer in the distribution and sale of the Products purchased under this agreement (other than as collateral for a loan from a financial
institution or any other transfer in the ordinary course of Marketer’s business), and Marketer receives a bona fide offer for the same which Marketer wishes to accept, Marketer shall immediately notify Chevron in writing of the terms thereof
and provide Chevron with a complete copy of the executed written agreement or other documents embodying such offer which contain all of the terms and conditions between the parties, with no material terms yet to be negotiated, together with
copies of all information regarding Marketer’s business supplied to the offeror by Marketer, and all information and documentation required by section 16 of this agreement. 

  

					
	Chevron Branded Marketer Agreement	  	-8-	  	RS19600 REN (09/09/09)

 (b) Chevron’s Right of First Refusal. Chevron shall have the right to acquire
such interest of Marketer at the price and on the terms of such offer if Chevron, within 60 days after Chevron’s receipt of such written notice from Marketer of any such offer (together with all documents and other information required by this
section 12 and section 16), notifies Marketer in writing of Chevron’s exercise of such option. If Chevron exercises such right, the transaction shall be consummated within 30 days after delivery to Marketer of Chevron’s notice of exercise
or at such later date as may be specified in the offer and Marketer shall, prior to such date and at Marketer’s expense, do all things necessary or desirable in order to give Chevron title to the interest being acquired free from the claims of
Marketer’s creditors. If Chevron does not exercise such right, Marketer may, at any time within 6 months after the expiration of such 60-day period, but no later, sell, lease or otherwise transfer such interest, but only to the original offeror
and only upon the terms of the offer submitted by Marketer to Chevron. 
 (c) General. Chevron’s rights hereunder
shall continue to apply until Marketer’s entire interest is transferred in accordance herewith. An offer by a third party to exchange other property interests owned or to be acquired by it for any interest of Marketer shall be deemed to
constitute an offer to purchase for a price equal to the fair market value of the property offered in exchange. Nothing herein shall be construed as a consent by Chevron to any such sale, lease or transfer or a waiver of any of Chevron’s rights
under section 16 hereof or under any other agreement between Marketer and Chevron. Chevron shall have the right to assign its rights under this section 12 to a third party. 
 13. Prevention of Performance; Shortage of Supply. 
 (a) Force
Majeure. There shall be no obligation to sell or deliver or to receive or use the Products when and while, and to the extent that, the receiving or using or manufacture or making deliveries in the customary manner is prevented or hindered by act
of God, fire, riot, labor disturbances (whether involving employees of the party affected or of others and regardless of whether the disturbance could be settled by acceding to the demands of a labor group), accident, war or the acts of any
government (whether foreign or domestic, federal, state, county or municipal) or any causes beyond the reasonable control of the party affected, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing causes. In cases of partial or total interruption or loss
or shortage of transportation facilities or supplies, or shortage of Products deliverable under this agreement, Chevron may allocate deliveries of available Products among Marketer, Chevron’s other customers, contract or otherwise, including
Chevron’s affiliates, and Chevron for its own use, on any basis which in Chevron’s sole judgment is fair and reasonable, allowing for such priorities as Chevron deems appropriate. No such reduction need be made up. 

(b) Shortage of Supplies. Due to uncertainties in the supply/demand situation (which may include a decision by Chevron that the
costs of some crude oil and products which might be available are unreasonable), Chevron may not have sufficient supplies of one or more of the Products to meet the full requirements of Marketer, of Chevron’s other customers, contract or
otherwise, including Chevron’s affiliates, and of Chevron for its own use. Whenever that situation exists and Chevron’s performance under this agreement is not otherwise excused, Chevron may allocate deliveries of available Products on any
basis which in Chevron’s sole judgment is fair and reasonable, allowing for such priorities as Chevron deems appropriate. No such reduction need be made up. 
 (c) Allocation. Allocation is fair and reasonable even if it is based on a shortage in the then contemplated sources of supply or a general shortage in Chevron’s system or on historical or
planned deliveries. “Chevron’s system” means the supply system of Chevron’s parent company, Chevron Corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries. 
 14. Termination. 
 (a) Marketer’s Right to Terminate This
Agreement. Marketer may terminate this agreement without cause at any time during the term of this agreement upon giving Chevron written notice of such termination. 
 (b) Chevron’s Right to Terminate This Agreement (other than for market withdrawal). Chevron may, in addition to its other remedies, including the right to terminate this agreement as otherwise
provided, terminate this agreement upon giving Marketer 90 days’ prior written notice of such termination or, if it would not be reasonable for Chevron to give 90 days’ prior written notice, at Chevron’s election upon giving Marketer
prior notice for such lesser period as is reasonable in the circumstances, if any one of the following occurs: 

(1) Breach. Marketer by act or omission breaches or defaults on any covenant, condition or other provision of this
agreement; or 

  

					
	Chevron Branded Marketer Agreement	  	-9-	  	RS19600 REN (09/09/09)

 (2) Failure to Exert Good Faith Efforts to Honor Agreement. Marketer
fails to exert good faith efforts to carry out the provisions of this agreement following written notice to Marketer from Chevron of such failure and a reasonable opportunity to exert good faith efforts to carry out such provisions; or 

(3) Failure to Pay Chevron in a Timely Manner. Marketer fails to pay to Chevron in a timely manner when due all
sums to which Chevron is legally entitled (whether or not such sums are owed under this agreement); or 
 (4)
Noncompliance with Applicable Laws. Marketer knowingly fails to comply with federal, state or local laws and regulations relevant to Marketer’s performance of this agreement; or 

(5) Trademark Violation. Willful adulteration, commingling, mislabeling or misbranding of motor fuels or other
violations by Marketer of trademarks utilized by Chevron; or 
 (6) Unlawful or Deceptive Acts. Unlawful,
fraudulent or deceptive acts or practices or criminal misconduct by Marketer relevant to Marketer’s performance of this agreement; or 
 (7) Inducement of Breach of Third-party Contract. Marketer knowingly induces the breach by a third party of a contract between Chevron and the third party; or 

(8) Felony Conviction. Conviction of Marketer of any felony involving moral turpitude; or 

(9) Other Events. Any other event which is relevant to the relationship between Chevron and Marketer and as a
result of which termination of this agreement is reasonable. 
 Without limitation on the foregoing, it is agreed that upon the
occurrence of any of the events specified in sections 14(b)(5) through 14(b)(8) it would not be reasonable to require Chevron to give 90 days’ prior written notice, that 10 days’ notice would be reasonable in the circumstances,
and that in any such circumstance Chevron may elect to terminate this agreement upon giving Marketer 10 instead of 90 days’ prior written notice of such termination. 
 (c) Market Withdrawal. If during the term of this agreement Chevron decides to withdraw from marketing motor fuel in Marketer’s Area of Primary Responsibility through Retail Outlets identified
by Chevron’s insignia, Chevron may terminate this agreement by giving Marketer 180 days’ prior written notice of such termination and otherwise complying with any applicable requirements of law, including the federal Petroleum Marketing
Practices Act. 
 (d) Marketer’s Death. This section 14(d) applies if Marketer is an individual. If any applicable
statute (i) limits Chevron’s ability to terminate this agreement in the event of Marketer’s death or (ii) allows Marketer to designate a successor-in-interest in the event of Marketer’s death, Chevron and Marketer shall comply
with the requirements of such statute. Absent such a statute, or absent a valid designation by Marketer of a successor-in-interest under such a statute, or if Marketer’s designated successor-in-interest does not qualify under the statute or
elects not to assume Marketer’s obligations under this agreement, Chevron may terminate this agreement following Marketer’s death, upon giving 90 days’ prior written notice of such termination to Marketer’s estate, if:

 (1) Marketer’s estate does not assign its rights under this agreement within 6 months following
Marketer’s death to an assignee meeting all of Chevron’s then-current qualifications for prospective Chevron marketers, or 
 (2) Such assignee does not assume in writing within 6 months following Marketer’s death all of Marketer’s obligations under this agreement. 

(e) No Implied Waiver or Release. Waiver by Chevron of one or more breaches or defaults by Marketer shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of any other or continuing breach or default. Termination of this agreement shall not relieve Marketer of responsibility for obligations incurred prior to termination. 

  

					
	Chevron Branded Marketer Agreement	  	-10-	  	RS19600 REN (09/09/09)

 (f) Sale of Products After Expiration of Term. If Chevron continues to accept orders
from Marketer for the Products following expiration of the term of this agreement, such sales shall be upon all of the terms and conditions of this agreement; provided that such sales shall not be construed to evidence a renewal of this agreement by
operation of law or otherwise, but shall imply only an agreement from day to day, which Chevron may (subject to any valid requirements of any applicable statute) terminate without cause at any time upon giving Marketer written notice of such
termination. 
 15. Exchange Terminals. 
 (a) Termination of Exchange Agreements. Each of the following delivery points is an exchange terminal at which Products are made available to Chevron pursuant to a product exchange agreement
between Chevron and a third party:

 Each such exchange agreement is terminable at any time by either party thereto without cause upon short notice –
typically 30 to 60 days’ notice. If any such exchange agreement is terminated by either party thereto (and Chevron may do so in its absolute discretion), Chevron may terminate its obligations under sections 3 and 4 to deliver Products to
Marketer at the applicable delivery point upon giving Marketer 90 days’ prior written notice of such termination or, if it would not be reasonable for Chevron to give 90 days’ prior written notice, at Chevron’s election upon giving
Marketer prior notice of such lesser period as is reasonable in the circumstances. If Chevron’s obligations to make deliveries at a particular delivery point are terminated pursuant to this section 15(a), Chevron shall have no obligation to
make up the resulting reduction in the quantity of Products which Chevron is obligated to supply to Marketer under section 3 nor shall Chevron have any obligation to supply additional quantities of Products to Marketer at any other delivery point,
but Chevron may in its sole discretion elect to do so. 
 (b) Alternative Supply Arrangements. If any such exchange
agreement is terminated and Chevron is able to make alternative arrangements, on terms and conditions which are (in its sole judgment) satisfactory to Chevron, for the supply of Products to Marketer at an alternative delivery point, Chevron’s
obligations under this agreement shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of such alternative supply arrangements. If only limited quantities of Products are available to Chevron at such alternative delivery point, Chevron may allocate
deliveries of available Products in the manner set forth for other circumstances in section 13. No such reduction need be made up. Upon termination of such alternative supply arrangements, Chevron shall have the right to terminate its obligations to
make deliveries at the alternative delivery point. If Chevron’s obligations to make deliveries at a particular delivery point are terminated pursuant to this section 15(b), Chevron shall have no obligation to make up the resulting reduction in
the quantity of Products which Chevron is obligated to supply to Marketer under section 3 nor shall Chevron have any obligation to supply additional quantities of Products to Marketer at any other delivery point, but Chevron may in its sole
discretion elect to do so. 
 (c) Termination of Supply at All Delivery Points. If Chevron’s obligation to sell
Products to Marketer has been terminated with respect to all delivery points and Chevron therefore no longer has any remaining obligation under this agreement to sell Products to Marketer, this agreement shall automatically terminate without further
notice to Marketer. 

  

					
	Chevron Branded Marketer Agreement	  	-11-	  	RS19600 REN (09/09/09)

 (d) Exchange Terminal Rules and Regulations. Marketer shall comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of any exchange terminal in effect at the time of delivery, including any requirement that Marketer provide specified insurance coverage. 
 16. Assignment. 
 (a) Assignment by Marketer. This agreement is
personal to Marketer and Marketer shall not, subject to any valid requirements of any applicable statute, assign any rights or delegate any duties that Marketer may have under this agreement, either voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law,
or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Chevron. Marketer shall advise Chevron in writing of any proposed assignment, and shall provide Chevron such information and documentation relating to the proposed assignment and assignee as Chevron
may reasonably require, including to a fully completed Marketer Application in Chevron’s then-current form, together with all financial statements and other attachments designated in such application, and all information and documentation
required by section 12. 
 (b) Change in Control of Marketer. This section 16(b) applies if Marketer is a corporation,
limited liability company, or partnership. Any sale, conveyance, alienation, transfer or other change of interest in or title to or beneficial ownership of any voting stock of Marketer (or securities convertible into voting stock of Marketer) or
other voting, profit, capital or partnership interest of Marketer, which results in a change in the control of Marketer, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, merger or other corporate proceedings, or otherwise, shall be construed as an
assignment of Marketer’s rights under this agreement. A change in the control of Marketer shall be deemed to occur whenever a party gains the ability to influence the business and affairs of Marketer directly or indirectly. A party who owns
twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the voting stock of Marketer (or securities convertible into such voting stock) or other voting, profit, capital or partnership interest of Marketer, shall be deemed to have such ability. In the case of a
limited partnership, a party who owns twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the general partner interest in the limited partnership shall also be deemed to have such ability. Thus, for example, the following would constitute an assignment of
Marketer’s rights under this agreement and require Chevron’s prior written consent under section 16(a): 
 (1) If Marketer is a corporation: (i) the transfer of 25% or more of the voting stock of Marketer, (ii) the transfer of a lesser percentage of such stock to an existing stockholder who thereby
would own 25% or more of Marketer’s voting stock, or (iii) the transfer of a lesser percentage of such stock which as a practical matter results in a change in the control of Marketer. 

(2) If Marketer is a partnership: (i) the transfer of 25% or more of the beneficial interest in Marketer,
(ii) the transfer of 25% or more of the general partner interest in Marketer, (iii) the transfer of a lesser percentage of such interests in Marketer to an existing partner who would thereby own 25% or more of the total partnership or 25%
or more of the general partner interest in Marketer, or (iv) the transfer of a lesser percentage of such partnership interests which as a practical matter results in a change in the control of Marketer. 

(c) Assignment by Chevron. Chevron shall have the right at any time to assign its rights and delegate its duties under this
agreement without Marketer’s consent. In the event of any such assignment by Chevron, the prices to be paid by Marketer pursuant to section 5 shall be such prices as may be set in good faith by the transferee. 

(d) No Release. Any such assignment or other transfer by Marketer or Chevron shall not relieve Marketer or Chevron of their
obligations under this agreement. 
 17. Indemnity. 

Marketer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Chevron, Chevron Corporation, the subsidiary and affiliated companies of each of them
(collectively “Chevron and its affiliates”), and their respective directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), liabilities and claims of whatsoever kind and nature, including to
those for damage to property (including property of Marketer) or for injury to or death of any person (including Marketer), directly or indirectly arising or alleged to arise out of or in any way connected with the storage, handling, distribution,
sale or use of any Products, or with the maintenance, upkeep, repair, replacement or operation of any premises used by Marketer in connection with this agreement or anything located thereon, including any act or omission of Marketer or
Marketer’s agents or employees in the performance of this agreement, or in the operation of any vehicle or vehicles in connection with Marketer’s business. The foregoing indemnity shall not apply where such expense, liability or claims
result from Chevron’s sole negligence or willful misconduct. 

  

					
	Chevron Branded Marketer Agreement	  	-12-	  	RS19600 REN (09/09/09)

 18. Insurance. 

(a) Insurance to be Maintained by Marketer. Without in any way limiting Marketer’s indemnity obligation under section 17,
Marketer shall maintain at Marketer’s own expense during the term of this agreement the insurance specified below with respect to Marketer’s operations in connection with this agreement: 

(1) Employees. Workers’ Compensation and Employer’s Liability Insurance as prescribed by applicable law;

 (2) General Liability. Comprehensive or Commercial General Liability (Bodily Injury and Property
Damage) Insurance of not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence, including the following supplementary coverage: (i) Contractual Liability Insurance to cover liability assumed under this agreement and (ii) Product and
Completed Operations Liability Insurance; 
 (3) Vehicles. Automobile Liability (Bodily Injury and
Property Damage) Insurance of not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence, on all owned, non-owned and hired vehicles; and 
 (4) Other Legal Requirements. Any other insurance or surety bonding that may be required under the laws, ordinances and regulations of any governmental authority, including the federal Motor
Carrier Act of 1980 and all rules and regulations of the Department of Transportation. 
 (b) Other Insurance
Requirements. The insurance specified in section 18(a) shall be issued by insurance companies that meet the financial standards for insurers (established by Chevron) and shall require the insurer to provide Chevron with 10 days’ prior
written notice of any cancellation or material change in the insurance. The insurance specified in sections 18(a)(2) through 18(a)(4) shall name Chevron and its affiliates as additional insureds. 

(c) Proof of Insurance. Marketer shall furnish Chevron with certificates or other documentary evidence satisfactory to Chevron of
the insurance required to be maintained by Marketer under this section 18. If Marketer fails to do so as to any of the required insurance, then Chevron, in addition to such other remedies as it may have, shall have the right to purchase such
insurance at Marketer’s expense. Marketer shall upon demand promptly reimburse Chevron for the cost of any insurance purchased by Chevron for Marketer’s account under this section 18(c). 

19. Motor Fuel Regulations. 
 (a) Compliance Requirements. The Products are subject to federal air pollution laws and regulations controlling fuels and fuel additives for use in motor vehicles and motor vehicle engines. Those
laws and regulations require motor fuels to meet product specifications designed to minimize harmful emissions, and impose directly on Marketer, any distributor, reseller, retailer or wholesale purchaser-consumer (as defined in such regulations)
receiving regulated motor fuels from Marketer (“Marketer’s motor fuel customers”) and Chevron specific legal obligations in selling and distributing regulated motor fuels. Chevron has established certain programs and procedures for
handling regulated motor fuels to achieve compliance with these governmental requirements and reduce liability exposure for noncompliance. Marketer recognizes the importance to Chevron, Marketer and the public of Marketer and Marketer’s motor
fuel customers meeting fully all governmental motor fuel requirements. Accordingly, Marketer shall comply with, and shall cause Marketer’s motor fuel customers to comply with, Chevron’s current and future programs and procedures for
handling regulated motor fuels, as set forth in Chevron’s Motor Fuel Quality Compliance Manual or other written communications that Chevron has distributed or may in the future distribute to Marketer. Marketer shall require Marketer’s
motor fuel customers to follow Chevron’s programs and procedures for handling regulated motor fuels by written agreement in a form approved by Chevron. Chevron does not represent or warrant that following its programs and procedures for
handling regulated motor fuels will ensure compliance with all governmental motor fuel requirements. Marketer is independently responsible for complying fully with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations pertaining to motor
fuels, and for causing Marketer’s motor fuel customers to so comply. 

  

					
	Chevron Branded Marketer Agreement	  	-13-	  	RS19600 REN (09/09/09)

 (b) Product Testing. Marketer shall promptly advise Chevron if Marketer has any
indication that contamination of any Product may have occurred in order that Chevron may, at its option, conduct a test of the Product. Chevron’s representatives shall have the right at any time to enter upon the premises where Products are
stored by or for Marketer and to take such quantities of the Products as they deem necessary to check the Products quality, compensating Marketer (at Marketer’s cost, which for this purpose shall be based on Chevron’s price to Marketer
under this agreement in effect at the time Products are taken, or, at Chevron’s option, in kind) for any Products taken. 

(c) Indemnity. Marketer’s indemnity obligation under section 17 shall include any and all expense, liability, claims, fines,
civil penalties or demands which may arise or be assessed as a result of any act or omission of Marketer, Marketer’s agents, employees or carriers or of Marketer’s motor fuel customers in handling motor fuel purchased under this agreement,
or as a result of failure by any of them to follow Chevron’s programs and procedures for handling motor fuel. 
 (d)
Noncompliance. If Marketer fails to comply with the requirements of this section 19 with regard to any particular Product, then Chevron, in addition to such other remedies as it may have, shall have the right to terminate delivery to Marketer
of that Product or to suspend such delivery until Chevron is satisfied that Marketer is again in compliance herewith. 
 20.

 (a) Notices. Any and all written notices to be given under this
agreement shall be sent by certified mail or a nationally recognized overnight courier or personally delivered to the other party at the address set forth below, or at such other address as either party may designate by written notice to the other.

 (b) Confidential Information. Marketer agrees that all materials, technology and information made
available to Marketer and not to the general public by or at the direction of Chevron at any time before or during the term of this agreement through any means of communication (collectively “Confidential Information”) shall be considered
proprietary trade secrets of Chevron. Without limitation on the foregoing, Confidential Information includes information about or derived from a Chevron web site or a web site maintained by a third party designated by Chevron, which is accessible by
Marketer but not the general public. Marketer shall keep confidential all Confidential Information and use it only in connection with Marketer’s operations as an authorized reseller of Products. Marketer shall not disclose Confidential

notes, documents and computer files containing Confidential Information, and all copies of the foregoing. Marketer shall notify Chevron promptly in the event Marketer is required by legal process to disclose any Confidential Information, and make

 (4) Section and exhibit references are to sections and exhibits of this
agreement. Section references also refer to all included sections. For example, references to section 14 also refer to sections 14(b), 14(b)(1), etc. 
 21. Prior Agreements. 
 This agreement shall not become effective if, prior
to the commencement of its term, Chevron notifies Marketer of Chevron’s election to exercise any right Chevron may have to terminate any prior agreement with Marketer covering the sale by Chevron of Products to Marketer. In such event this
agreement shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, effective as of the commencement of the term of this agreement, this agreement terminates and supersedes any prior agreements between Marketer and Chevron and its affiliates relating to the
subject matter of this agreement, provided that any outstanding breach by Marketer of any such prior agreement shall be deemed to be a breach of this agreement. No modification of this agreement, and no waiver of any provision of this agreement,
shall be binding on Chevron unless in writing and signed by Chevron. 
 22. Deliveries to Contract Accounts. 

(a) Chevron’s Contract Customers. Marketer shall, at Chevron’s request and as Chevron’s agent, make deliveries of
Products for Chevron’s account to those customers under contract with Chevron (“contract customers”) specified in Exhibit B and to such other contract customers as Chevron may specify. Contract customers may include, local, state and
federal governments, retail retailers, certain consumers and other resellers. Marketer shall be credited by Chevron at Marketer’s cost for the particular Product involved, based on Chevron’s price to Marketer under this agreement in effect
at the time that Marketer makes such delivery. Each such delivery by Marketer shall constitute a return to Chevron’s inventory of the Product so delivered and not a resale of the Product by Marketer to Chevron, and the quantities of Products so
delivered shall not constitute a part of the maximum quantities specified in section 3. 
 (b) Nonexclusive Arrangement.
Chevron reserves the right at any time to withdraw its request for deliveries by Marketer to some or all contract customers and to make such deliveries itself. 
 (c) Mode of Delivery. In addition to deliveries from Marketer’s trucks into the storage facilities of contract customers, Marketer shall, at Chevron’s request, make deliveries into
contract customers’ trucks at Marketer’s storage facilities, and Marketer shall provide unimpeded and adequate access to Marketer’s storage facilities during normal business hours to enable contract customers to receive deliveries of
Products. 
 (d) Credit Deliveries. In making deliveries for Chevron’s account to contract customers, Marketer shall
confine all credit deliveries, both as to time and money limits, within the authority given to Marketer by Chevron in writing. If Marketer makes any credit deliveries in excess of written authorization either as to time or money limits, Marketer
shall pay Chevron upon demand the amount of such sale price which on the date of such demand remains unpaid to Chevron, and Chevron may set off such unpaid price against any sums then or thereafter due to Marketer from Chevron. 

(e) Compensation. As Marketer’s sole compensation for making deliveries to contract customers, on or before the 20th day of
each month during the term of this agreement Chevron shall pay Marketer the service charges specified in Exhibit B on all deliveries of Products made by Marketer during the preceding calendar month to the contract customers specified in Exhibit B
and shall pay Marketer such service charges as may be later agreed upon by Chevron and Marketer on all deliveries of Products made by Marketer during the preceding month to such other contract customers as Chevron may specify during the term of this
agreement. 
 23. Marketer Application; Conflicts of Interest. 

(a) Marketer Application. Marketer represents and warrants that all information set forth in Marketer’s written application to
become a Chevron Marketer and all other written information, including financial statements, submitted by Marketer in connection with such application was at the time of submission true, accurate and complete, and did not omit any material fact
necessary to make the information submitted, in light of the circumstances under which it was submitted, not misleading. 

  

					
	Chevron Branded Marketer Agreement	  	-15-	  	RS19600 REN (09/09/09)

 (b) Residency. Marketer represents and warrants that Marketer is a citizen or lawful
permanent resident of the United States. Marketer shall upon request furnish Chevron with proof of Marketer’s citizenship or immigration status. 
 (c) Sales or Earnings Projections Disclaimer. Due to the various factors which may affect the performance of an individual marketer’s business, Chevron does not supply statements of estimated
or projected sales or earnings to prospective Chevron Marketers, nor does Chevron represent that Chevron Marketers will earn or are likely to earn a profit. And no employee of Chevron has been or is authorized to make such statements. 

(d) Conflicts of Interest. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this agreement, neither Marketer nor any director, employee
or agent of Marketer shall give to or receive from any director, employee or agent of Chevron and its affiliates any gift, entertainment or other favor of significant value, or any commission, fee or rebate, in connection with this agreement.
Neither Marketer nor any director, employee or agent of Marketer shall, without Chevron’s prior written consent, enter into or maintain any business arrangement with any director, employee or agent of Chevron and its affiliates unless such
person is acting as a representative of and on behalf of Chevron and its affiliates. 
 (e) Violation. In the event of
any violation of this section 23, including any breach of the warranties set forth in this section 23 or any other violation occurring prior to the commencement of the term of this agreement which resulted directly or indirectly in Chevron entering
into this agreement, Chevron shall have the right to terminate this agreement. Marketer shall immediately notify Chevron upon acquiring knowledge of any violation of this section 23.

 EXHIBIT A 
 TO 
 CHEVRON BRANDED MARKETER AGREEMENT 

Sample calculation under sections 3(e) and 3(f) of the Marketer Agreement when Chevron and Marketer have entered into an Authorization
Agreement for new Retail Outlets and other Retail Outlets have become inactive. Calculation of Marketer’s maximum entitlement of motor gasoline for February 2006: 
 Assumptions: 
  

	 	(1)	Marketer’s purchases of motor gasoline from Chevron for the period February 1, 2005 through January 31, 2006 were 12,000,000 gallons.

  

	 	(2)	7,200,000 gallons were lifted from delivery point 1 and 4,800,000 gallons were lifted from delivery point 2. 

 

	 	(3)	Chevron and Marketer executed an Authorization Agreement for a new Retail Outlet with a Start Date of September 15, 2005, with an annual motor gasoline volume of
1,000,000 gallons for the prior year to be supplied from delivery point 1. 

  

	 	(4)	On June 1, 2005 the Marketer debranded a former Chevron station supplied from delivery point 2, which had monthly volumes for February, March, April and May, 2005,
of 50,000 gallons, 60,000 gallons, 50,000 gallons, and 40,000 gallons, respectively. 

  

	 	(5)	The applicable Seasonal Monthly Percentages for gasoline for delivery point 1 are: 5% for January; 7% for February; 8% for March; 10% for April, May, June, July, August
and September; 8% for October; 7% for November; and 5% for December. 

  

	 	(6)	The applicable Seasonal Monthly Percentages for gasoline for delivery point 2 are: 7% for January; 8% for February; 8% for March; 9% for April, May, June, July; 10% for
August and September; 8% for October; 7% for November; and 6% for December. 

 Calculation 1—new outlet:

  

	 	(1)	Under section 3(c), the Terminal Annual Quantities are initially 7,200,000 gallons of motor gasoline for delivery point 1. 

 

	 	(2)	Under section 3(e), this amount is increased by a percentage of 1,000,000 to reflect the new outlet. 

(a) That percentage is determined by adding the applicable Seasonal Monthly Percentages for February, March, April, May, June, July,
August = 7% + 8% + 10% + 10% + 10% + 10% + 10% = 65%. 
 (b) 65% of 1,000,000 gallons = 650,000 gallons. 

(c) Terminal Annual Quantities at delivery point 1 after new outlet = 7,200,000 gallons + 650,000 gallons = 7,850,000 gallons. 

 

	 	(3)	Chevron’s maximum sales obligation for motor gasoline at delivery point 1 for February 2006 = 7,850,000 times 7% (the Seasonal Monthly Percentage for February for
delivery point 1) = 549,500 gallons.

 Calculation 2—inactive outlet: 

 

	 	(1)	Under section 3(c), the Terminal Annual Quantities are initially 4,800,000 gallons of motor gasoline for delivery point 2. 

 

	 	(2)	Under section 3(f), this amount is reduced to reflect sales during the 12-month period at the inactive outlet. Terminal Annual Quantities at delivery point 2 after
reduction = 4,800,000 gallons – 200,000 gallons = 4,600,000. 

  

	 	(3)	Chevron’s maximum sales obligation for motor gasoline at delivery point for February 2006 = 4,600,000 times 8% (the Seasonal Monthly Percentage for February for
delivery point 2) = 368,000 gallons.

	 	(B)	For the avoidance of doubt, wherever and to the extent the Supplier enjoys a pension fund contribution holiday, the Purchaser will share in the benefit of such holiday
only until the date when the Supplier resumes contributions to the pension fund at which point the pension fund contributions for the relevant employees shall be included in the Direct Site Costs.

termination of demand 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 long-term reduction by the Purchaser of a Sole

	 	(E)	The Purchaser shall bear the costs of any redundancy programme in accordance with Articles 10.7 and 10.8 below required as a result of any productivity

productivity improvement. 

  

	 	(F)	If under applicable tax or other laws, the Supplier must charge a mark-up or profit factor with respect to any SUMF Charge, or, alternatively, if a profit factor is
imputed under applicable tax or other laws, the Parties shall, in good faith and with the view to minimising the financial impact of such mark-up or profit factor on the Purchaser, discuss and agree to such revision to the SUMF Charge as will ensure
compliance with the relevant tax or other laws. Any failure by the Parties to reach agreement on the revision to be made shall constitute a Dispute.

two (2) years after the calendar year in question or such longer period as may be required by law.

verify the 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.

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

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

	 	
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.

  

	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 

  

					
		 	15	 	Berre SUMF Agreement (Kraton)

 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.

recovery by Supplier. 

  

	 	(B)	Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 9 and in Article 14, the Supplier shall be responsible for and shall indemnify, defend and hold

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

	 	
excluding any SUMF Asset, resulting from the negligence (but not Gross Negligence) of the other Party. 

 

	9.4	A Party shall promptly notify the other Party of any claim made against it arising out of matters covered in this Article 9. Once the indemnifying Party accepts
its indemnity 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 after having been requested to do so.

Environmental Agreement, the provisions of the Environmental Agreement shall govern. Any obligation or liability of any SER Indemnified Party (as defined in the Environmental Agreement) or Seller Indemnified Party (as defined in the Environmental

	 	(C)	with three (3) years’ prior written notice, or such other notice period as is provided in a Schedule, for any Long Term SUMF Item. 

 

	10.4	The Supplier may terminate this Agreement in its entirety in any of the following circumstances: 

 

	 	(A)	if the Purchaser fails to pay without proper justification any SUMF Charge within three (3) months of the date when such payment fell due, unless such SUMF Charge

	 	(B)	with at least eighteen (18) months’ prior written notice or, if that is impossible, with as much notice as is possible under the circumstances and in any

(5) years, as the case may be, for any Long Term SUMF Item. 

  

	10.6	Upon the termination of a Short Term SUMF Item by Purchaser, the Supplier shall physically disconnect from that SUMF Item’s delivery system and shall pay all costs
associated with the physical disconnection. Upon the termination of a Short Term SUMF Item by the Supplier pursuant to Article 10.4(A) or 10.5(A) due to a payment default by Purchaser under this Agreement, the Supplier shall physically
disconnect from that SUMF Item’s delivery system and Purchaser shall pay all costs associated with the physical disconnection. Upon the termination of a Long Term SUMF Item, the Purchaser shall physically disconnect from that SUMF Item’s
delivery system in the time and manner instructed by the Supplier. The Purchaser shall pay the costs associated with the physical disconnection, if a Long Term SUMF Item is terminated (i) by Purchaser pursuant to Article 10.2(A) or
10.3(C) or (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.

10.2(A), 10.2(B), 10.3(C), 10.3(D), or 10.4(A), 10.4(C), 10.5(A) and 10.5(D) with respect to any member of staff terminated in accordance with Article 10.7 who (i) in the case of the
termination of this 

  

					
		 	22	 	Berre SUMF Agreement (Kraton)

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

	 	
Agreement in its entirety, 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(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

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

into or performing this Agreement which relates to: 

  

	 	(A)	the provisions of 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

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

		 	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,

  

					
		 	27	 	Berre SUMF Agreement (Kraton)

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

	 	
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.

  

	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.

 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.

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. 

 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.

  

					
		 	29	 	Berre SUMF Agreement (Kraton)

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

	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. 
 ARTICLE 19: DISPUTE

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.

other Party’s reasonable satisfaction to perform the duties and obligations under this Agreement. The Party attempting such an assignment to a Third Party shall provide the other Party with prompt advance written notice of such assignment to
allow the other Party sufficient time in which to evaluate the potential assignee Third Party in the manner described in this Article 22.1.

immediately prior to the time at which the assignment is to take effect.

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.

For styrene monomer (SM) imports, services under this Agreement are subject to the following procedure: 

The Supplier is not permitted to unload onto the Site any SM other than SM from Shell Nederland Chemie’s Moerdijk Plant
(“non-Moerdijk SM”) unless the Supplier has received prior written notice from whichever of the Purchaser and the asset owner of the expandable polystyrene plant should wish to use non-Moerdijk SM (“the Issuing Party”) that it
has procured such SM for delivery at the Site. There shall be annexed to the notice a copy of the notice given by the Issuing Party to the other manufacturer using SM on the Site (“the Other Manufacturer”) of its intention to purchase
non-Moerdijk SM (“the Proposal Notice”) together with a copy of the Other Manufacturer’s written consent to such purchase or of a statement of facts by the Issuing Party justifying it to have deemed the Other Manufacturer to have
consented to such purchase. Without such prior notice in compliance with the foregoing requirements the Supplier shall refuse to unload any barge or vessel carrying non-Moerdijk SM. Any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, expenses or costs
incurred in consequence of such refusal including demurrage shall be for the Party which procured the non-Moerdijk SM. 
 Having
received such prior written notice for non-Moerdijk SM in compliance with the foregoing requirements the Supplier shall apply the following procedure: 
 Upon the arrival of any ship carrying non-Moerdijk SM at the Port de la Pointe jetty adjacent to the Site, upon receipt of samples of the SM from the ship prior to its discharge the Supplier shall
immediately deliver one sample to the Other Manufacturer at its Plant on the Site in a package addressed to the Plant’s Quality Control Manager. The Supplier shall also analyse a sample of the SM prior to its discharge. The Purchaser shall
indemnify Supplier in respect of all costs and expenses which Supplier may incur in respect of any such analysis. In the event that the SM supplied should fail to meet the specifications as attached to the Proposal Notice and/or if the Other
Manufacturer should within 72 hours of receipt of the sample give the Supplier written notice instructing the Supplier to refuse authority for the discharge of the SM the Supplier shall refuse authority for such discharge. Failure by the Other
Manufacturer to give such notice 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

	6.2	Measurement of supply quantity to Purchaser: 

 Utility flows will be measured by accounting flow Meters with integrator of an accuracy to be agreed between Purchaser and Supplier. These Meters will be read and recorded by the Supplier monthly, unless
agreed otherwise. The Meters will be inspected and periodically calibrated by the Supplier according to mutually agreed procedures. The accounting methods and the calibration methods for the accounting flow Meters are described in a Site manual
under reference “MET-MO-005” which is updated from time to time. See Schedule 7 for delivery points, indicating the location of Meters. Other essential streams not currently metered, including waste water and waste disposal, will
also be metered with flow Meters to be installed at Supplier’s cost on the Site before the 31 December 2000. 

Non-metered consumption of utilities and auxiliaries will be charged on the basis of the agreed Annual Plan Budget in line with Site
accounting practices. 
  

	6.3	Title and risk transfer at the delivery points; see Schedule 7. 

 

	6.4	Conformance requirements: Berre/Aubette Complex Standards are Shell standards as at the effective date of this agreement. Any change to these standards from Shell
standards will require prior consultation with Purchaser. 

 It is incumbent on the Purchaser to maintain proper
segregation and classification of all waste. They must comply with the Site’s HSEMS, specific waste procedures and the relevant legislation. If the legislator requires changes to the waste disposal system with respect to waste from the Kraton
Plant then these costs shall be recovered from the Purchaser. 
  

	6.5	Dependencies: from Third Party utility and/or service providers. Electricity, raw water, nitrogen and waste disposal are fully or partly purchased from third
parties. 

  

	7.	Category of SUMF: Long Term SUMF 

  

	7.1	Partial termination of this SUMF item: YES 

  

	8.	Pricing 

 Utilities and
auxiliaries will be charged on the basis of a tariff which consists of: 
  

	 	•	 	 a variable component, linked to actual consumption, 

  

	 	•	 	 a fixed component (“Fixed Component”), consisting of a unit cost linked to Purchaser’s Budgeted Consumption; it includes fixed cost for
operation and maintenance and depreciation on net book value, 

  

	 	•	 	 an annual fee (“User Charge”) based on Purchaser’s Firm Capacity Reservation. The user charge covers the cost of capital and dividends
to the Supplier’s shareholders. 

 Charges per utility or auxiliary are as follows: 

 

	8.1	ELECTRICITY 

  

	 	•	 	 The variable component is based on a commercial tariff from an external supplier, based on a notional contract covering 100% of total
Berre/Aubette Complex electricity consumption delivered at Berre/Aubette Complex fence. 

  

	 	•	 	 The Fixed Component, 

  

	 	•	 	 The User Charge 

  

	8.2	NITROGEN 

  

	 	•	 	 The variable component is based on commercial price from external supplier, based on a notional contract covering 100% of total Berre/Aubette Complex
Nitrogen consumption delivered at Berre/Aubette Complex fence. 

  

	 	•	 	 There is no Fixed Component nor a User Charge. 

  

					
		 	17	 	Berre SUMF Agreement (Kraton)

	 	•	 	 The User Charge 

  

	8.6	DECARBONATED WATER 

  

	 	•	 	 The variable component is based on actual yields and prices of raw water, electricity and chemicals (see Appendix 3).

  

	 	•	 	 The Fixed Component, 

  

	 	•	 	 The User Charge 

  

	8.7	DRINKING WATER 

  

	 	•	 	 There is no variable component. 

  

	 	•	 	 The fixed component is a lumpsum which will be determined according to the proportion of staff located at the KRATON Plant including staff seconded the
Plant by the Purchaser to the total number of staff. 

  

	8.8	FIRE FIGHTING WATER 

  

	 	•	 	 There is no variable component.

	 	•	 	 The Fixed Component, 

  

	 	•	 	 The User Charge 

  

	 	•	 	 In addition, if an exceptional uncontrolled effluent is discharged to the sewer network and is detrimental to the normal operation of the Effluent
Treatment, the extra costs related to this uncontrolled effluent will be charged to Purchaser according to Purchaser’s share of responsibility of this uncontrolled effluent discharged. 

NB: An exceptional uncontrolled effluent is generally the result of an accidental event (failure of equipment, misoperation,...) or an
unplanned non-routine operation (cleaning of a capacity,...) that creates serious disturbances in the waste water 

  

					
		 	18	 	Berre SUMF Agreement (Kraton)

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

	 	 
treatment facilities and requires extraordinary measures, irrespective of the effluents discharged to the environment being inside or outside authorised limits. In all cases such incidents
generate extra costs, which will be separately identified and charged to the responsible party or parties. 

Typical examples of what is considered to be an exceptional uncontrolled effluent are: 

 

	 	•	 	 quantity of styrene that polymerises in the primary treatment of effluents and causes damage to mechanical equipment and fouling of piping.

  

	 	•	 	 quantity of pollutant (such as Phenol or Ni) that is detrimental to the bacteria and significantly reduces the performance of the biotreater to a level
where effluents have to be stored and possibly operation on the Berre/Aubette Complex has to be curtailed. 

  

	8.11	WASTE DISPOSAL 

  

	 	•	 	 The variable component is based on the commercial price from external supplier Note that it will be charged according to actual quantity disposed.

	 	•	 	 The Fixed Component, 

  

	 	•	 	 The User Charge 

  

	8.13	GENERAL EXPENSES 

 General
expenses consist of utilities which are consumed by common facilities or infrastructure (e.g. electricity consumed by the laboratory facility) and which cannot be charged directly to a product or a utility. All the related expenses are treated as
fixed costs and are allocated to the product according to site accounting practices (pro rata direct and indirect fixed costs). 
  

	8.14	CONDENSATE RETURNS 

Condensate from various production units, including KD/KG, are alternately stored in two tanks T111-01 and T111-03, and pumped to the
boiler-house if on spec or otherwise sent to the sewer system. Only recovered condensate will be valued and credited to Purchaser on the basis of flows recovered and measured by the utility meters and at a price based on fuel and demineralised water
prices (see Appendix 3). 
  

	8.2	Annual Plan & Budget for 2000: see Appendix 2: KRATON Berre - SUMF Budget

 SCHEDULE 3: SUMMARY OF SUPPLIER’S ACCOUNTING PRACTICES 

I GENERAL ORGANISATION 
 The BERRE
SITE is composed of three production centers (ENTITIES). Each ENTITY has its own management, operation, maintenance, technology and safety organisation which are in charge of the day-to-day operation and maintenance of their production plants.

 SPS has one ENTITY: the REFINERY ENTITY and SHELL CHIMIE has two ENTITIES: the CHEMICAL ENTITY and the OLEFINS/POLYOLEFINS ENTITY.

 The CHEMICAL ENTITY is providing SITE services to the ENTITIES in the field of: 

 

	•	 	 Technical activities (workshops, inspection, purchasing...) 

 

	•	 	 HR and personnel management 

  

	•	 	 HSE activities 

  

	•	 	 Finance (including Information System) 

  

	•	 	 Total Quality Management, optimisation of the Oil/Chemical interface. 

 

	•	 	 Firefighting 

  

	•	 	 Utilities management. 

II GENERAL COST CHARGING PROCEDURE 

II.1 Principle 
 The cost charging
procedure is based on the principle that all costs (including recoveries), relating to the Berre SITE, have to be allocated and charged to the individual production plants in the various ENTITIES. The same principles for allocation apply to all
Users. 
 II.2 SITE services 
 The costs of customised services as provided by the CHEMICAL ENTITY to an ENTITY or a production plant are directly charged to the ENTITY or to the plant concerned. In case the SITE services are rendered
to more than one ENTITY, the costs are allocated to the ENTITIES involved by applying certain keys as approved by the management of the ENTITIES. 
 II.3 ENTITY services 
 Within the individual ENTITY, the costs, wherever these are
incurred, are split over the various production plants according to certain keys as approved by the management of that ENTITY and the production plants. 
 II.4 Allocation keys 
 Allocation keys are uniformly applied to all tenants on the
SITE. 
 In principle the nature of the service and the allocation keys are closely related. 

Once a year the allocation keys are reviewed by the SHELL CHIMIE Finance department and the management of the ENTITIES and production plants to check
whether any modification is required. The allocation keys are presented to each ENTITY as part as the October Forecast exercise and will apply to the following year. 
 In case there would be a need to change the basis to the allocation support from and approval by all tenants on the SITE will be obtained. 
 III. MANUFACTURING COSTS 
 For SHELL CHIMIE, the manufacturing cost of each primary
product is calculated on a monthly and a year-to-date basis (actual costs), expressed in French Francs per commercial unit. 

  

					
		 	32	 	Berre SUMF Agreement (Kraton)

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

 In some cases, the actual costs can not be determined and the monthly expenses are based on budgeted
figures. These budgeted figures are adjusted to actuals for the presentation of the quarterly and end-of-the-year manufacturing costs only. 

Code numbers are used for the allocation of the manufacturing costs to the individual primary product. For the determination of costs related to the
assets involved the so-called IS lines are being used. The manufacturing costs include variable costs, direct and indirect fixed costs, DEPRECIATION COMPONENT and CAPITAL CHARGE COMPONENT which are given in more detail below. 

III.1 Variable costs 
 The
variable costs are comprising the following elements: 
  

	•	 	 Packaging costs 

  

	•	 	 Feedstocks: 

  

	 	•	 	 quantities by metering 

  

	 	•	 	 unit price from stock values 

  

	 	•	 	 market related value, including handling and storage’s costs, if any. 

 

	•	 	 Raw materials and chemical products: 

  

	 	•	 	 consumption as metered per period 

  

	 	•	 	 unit price from stock values (Moving Average Price) 

  

	•	 	 By-products: 

  

	 	•	 	 quantities by metering 

  

	 	•	 	 unit price related to market value 

  

	•	 	 Utilities 

  

	 	•	 	 consumption as metered by period or as agreed in the year budget 

 

	 	•	 	 unit tariff 

 III.2
Direct fixed costs 
 These are 
  

	•	 	 Operating costs: 

  

	 	•	 	 related to the production plant and common facilities, if any. 

 

	 	•	 	 manpower cost includes salaries, wages and benefits but is excluding overheads (included in the indirect fixed costs). 

 

	•	 	 Maintenance costs: 

  

	 	•	 	 related to the production plant and common facilities, if any. 

 

	 	•	 	 included are routine, extraordinary and shutdown maintenance, plant changes and the general expenses of the maintenance organisation.

  

	•	 	 Technology and laboratory assistance 

 III.3 Indirect fixed costs 
 These are limited to SITE related costs only and consist
mainly of the costs related to the SITE services and ENTITIES organisations, like: 
  

	•	 	 Manpower costs and general expenses of SITE services and ENTITIES management 

 

	•	 	 HSE, including security 

  

	•	 	 Personnel: training, transport, etc.... 

  

	•	 	 Operating costs of computer and IT systems including telex, fax, phones, mailing, etc.. 

 

	•	 	 Accounting, legal activities, reporting, management information, etc.... 

 

	•	 	 Purchasing (services and materials), relationship with contractors, etc. 

 

	•	 	 Taxes, such as TAXE FONCIERE, TAXE PROFESSIONNELLE and TAXE d’APPRENTISSAGE, which are based on the assets and salaries and split pro-rata to the
corresponding values for the various production plants. 

  

					
		 	33	 	

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

	•	 	 Insurances, which are shared pro-rata to the insurance value of the various plants. 

III.4 Depreciation component (DC) 

This includes the book depreciation related to the production plant itself and the allocated part of the book depreciation of some common facilities.

 III.5 Capital Cost Component (CCC) 
 The calculation of the DC and CCC of the relevant assets will be performed once a year.
