If a Force Majeure event prevents Carrier or Company from performing its respective obligations under this Agreement for a period of more than 12 consecutive Months, this Agreement may be terminated by either Party at any time after the expiration of such 12-Month period upon at least 30 Days’ Notice to the other Party.

 

Article III.                                    Minimum Commitments

 

Section 3.01                             Minimum Wood River Quarterly Transportation Commitment.

 

(a)                                 During each Calendar Quarter, Company shall tender at the Origin Point at the Wood River Refinery an aggregate average of at least 43,000 Barrels per Day of Commodities for transportation to or through the Terminal, in approximately ratable quantities (such average, the “Minimum Wood River Quarterly Transportation Commitment”) at the applicable Tariff Rate in effect at the time of the tender.

 

(b)                                 If Company fails to meet its Minimum Wood River Quarterly Transportation Commitment during any Calendar Quarter, then Company will pay Carrier a deficiency payment (the “Wood River Quarterly Deficiency Payment”) equal to the volume of the deficiency multiplied by the Tariff Rate in effect for the relevant Calendar Quarter.

 

Section 3.02                             Minimum Hartford Quarterly Transportation Commitment.

 

(a)                                 During each Calendar Quarter, Company shall tender at the Origin Point at the Terminal an average of at least 16,000 Barrels per Day of Commodities for transportation to Explorer, in approximately ratable quantities (such average, the “Minimum Hartford Quarterly Transportation Commitment”) at the applicable Tariff Rate in effect at the time of the tender.

 

(b)                                 If Company fails to meet its Minimum Hartford Quarterly Transportation Commitment during any Calendar Quarter, then Company will pay Carrier a deficiency payment (the “Hartford Quarterly Deficiency Payment”) equal to the volume of the deficiency multiplied by the Tariff Rate in effect for the relevant Calendar Quarter.

 

Section 3.03                             Quarterly Transportation Credit. If the volume delivered by Company to Carrier for transportation on the pipeline segment from the Wood River Refinery to the Terminal, or the pipeline segment from the Terminal to Explorer, during a Calendar Quarter exceeds 55,200 Barrels per Day multiplied by the number of Days in the relevant Calendar Quarter, then Company will be issued a separate credit (a “Quarterly Transportation Credit”) for each such segment for which excess volumes were delivered equal to the Tariff Rate then in effect for such segment multiplied by the excess volume on the relevant segment.  A Quarterly Transportation Credit may be applied to a Wood River Quarterly Deficiency Payment or a Hartford Quarterly Deficiency Payment with respect to any of the eight Calendar Quarters immediately following the Calendar Quarter in which such Quarterly Transportation Credit was earned.  A Quarterly Transportation

 

6

 

Credit shall expire if not applied within eight Calendar Quarters after the Calendar Quarter in which such Quarterly Transportation Credit was earned.

 

Section 3.04                             Loss of Available Capacity.

 

(a)                                 If, for any reason (other than outages caused by Carrier’s planned maintenance), the average daily capacity of the Pipeline segment between the Wood River Refinery and the Terminal during a given Calendar Quarter is less than the Company’s Wood River Minimum Quarterly Transportation Commitment for such Calendar Quarter, or if the capacity of the Pipeline segment between the Wood River Refinery and the Terminal is required to be allocated among shippers with the result that the average daily capacity of the Pipeline segment available to Company during a given Calendar Quarter is less than the Company’s Minimum Wood River Quarterly Transportation Commitment for such Calendar Quarter, then Company’s Minimum Wood River Quarterly Transportation Commitment for the applicable Calendar Quarter shall be reduced to equal the average daily capacity on the segment available to Company during such Calendar Quarter.

 

(b)                                 If, for any reason (other than outages caused by Carrier’s planned maintenance), the average daily capacity of the Pipeline segment between the Terminal and Explorer Pipeline during a given Calendar Quarter is less than the Company’s Minimum Hartford Quarterly Transportation Commitment for such Calendar Quarter, or if the capacity of the Pipeline segment between the Terminal and Explorer Pipeline is required to be allocated among shippers with the result that the average daily capacity of the Pipeline segment available to Company during a given Calendar Quarter is less than the Company’s Minimum Hartford Quarterly Transportation Commitment for such Calendar Quarter, then Company’s Minimum Hartford Quarterly Transportation Commitment for the applicable Calendar Quarter shall be reduced to equal the average daily capacity on the segment available to Company during such Calendar Quarter.

 

Section 3.05                             Capacity Reservation.

 

(a)                                 In contemplation of future requirements, Company reserves 12,200 Barrels per Day of capacity (the “Wood River Reserved Capacity”) from the Origin Point at the Wood River Refinery to the Terminal, in addition to the 43,000 Barrels per Day of capacity included within the Minimum Wood River Quarterly Transportation Commitment (such 43,000 Barrels per Day of capacity, the “Wood River Base Capacity”), in consideration for which Company shall pay to Carrier a Monthly fee (the “Wood River Reservation Fee”) equal to (i) 12,200 Barrels per Day multiplied by the then-applicable Tariff Rate multiplied by (ii) the number of Days in the relevant Month.  Carrier may offer transportation services to third parties on this pipeline segment in any capacity in excess of the Wood River Base Capacity (such excess, including the Wood River Reserved Capacity, the “Wood River Surplus Capacity”) on an interruptible basis.  In the event of apportionment, all capacity, including the Wood River Base Capacity and the

 

7

 

Wood River Surplus Capacity, will be allocated in accordance with the Carrier’s prorationing policy.

 

(b)                                 In contemplation of future requirements, Company reserves 39,200 Barrels per Day of capacity (the “Hartford Reserved Capacity”) from the Origin Point at the Terminal to Explorer, in addition to the 16,000 Barrels per Day of capacity included within the Minimum Hartford Quarterly Transportation Commitment (such 16,000 Barrels per Day of capacity, the “Hartford Base Capacity”), in consideration for which Company shall pay to Carrier a Monthly fee (the “Hartford Reservation Fee”) equal to (i) 39,200 Barrels per Day multiplied by the then-applicable Tariff Rate multiplied by (ii) the number of Days in the relevant Month.  Carrier may offer transportation services to third parties on this pipeline segment in any capacity in excess of the Hartford Base Capacity (such excess, including the Hartford Reserved Capacity, the “Hartford Surplus Capacity”) on an interruptible basis.  In the event of apportionment, all capacity, including the Hartford Base Capacity and the Hartford Surplus Capacity, will be allocated in accordance with the Carrier’s prorationing policy.

 

(c)                                  Company may convert all or part of the Wood River Reserved Capacity to incremental Wood River Base Capacity, or may convert all or part of the Hartford Reserved Capacity to incremental Hartford Base Capacity, at the commencement of any Calendar Quarter upon 30 Days’ Notice.  Whenever the Wood River Base Capacity or Hartford Base Capacity is increased according to this Section 3.05, the Minimum Quarterly Wood River Transportation Commitment or Minimum Quarterly Hartford Transportation Commitment, as the case may be, shall be increased by the same amount(s).

 

(d)                                 With respect to any Month in which volumes transported from the Origin Point at the Wood River Refinery to the Terminal or from the Origin Point at the Terminal to Explorer exceed the Wood River Base Capacity or Hartford Base Capacity, then the Wood River Reservation Fee or Hartford Reservation Fee shall be credited against the aggregate tariff due for such actual excess shipments by Company.

 

Section 3.06                             Partial Period Proration.

 

(a)                                 If the Effective Date is any Day other than the first Day of a Calendar Quarter, or if this Agreement is terminated on any Day other than the last Day of a Calendar Quarter, then any calculation determined with respect to a Calendar Quarter will be prorated by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Days in that part of the Calendar Quarter beginning on the Effective Date or ending on the date of such termination, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is the number of Days in the Calendar Quarter.

 

(b)                                 If the Effective Date is any Day other than the first Day of a Month, or if this Agreement is terminated on any Day other than the last Day of a Month, then any quantity based on a Monthly determination will be prorated by a fraction, the

 

8

 

numerator of which is the number of Days in that part of the Month beginning on the Effective Date or ending on the date of such termination, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is the number of Days in the Month.

 

Section 3.07                             Special Reduction of Minimum Quarterly Transportation Commitment. If Carrier’s use of all or part of the Pipeline for transportation of any Commodity shall be restrained, enjoined, restricted or terminated by (a) any Governmental Authority, (b) right of eminent domain or (c) the owner of leased land, Carrier, upon being notified of such restraint, enjoinder, restriction or termination, shall notify Company and the Minimum Quarterly Transportation Commitment shall be reduced to the extent that Carrier’s use of the part of the Pipeline is so restrained, enjoined, restricted or terminated.

 

Article IV.                                     Tariffs

 

Section 4.01                             Tariff. Shipments under this Agreement shall be subject to, and the Parties shall be required to comply with, the provisions of the applicable Carrier Tariff.  For so long as this Agreement is in effect, the Carrier Tariff shall include provisions substantially the same as, or having substantially the effect of, the following:

 

(a)                                 with respect to loss allowance:

 

(i)                                     Company shall pay to Carrier a Monthly fee (the “Loss Allowance Fee”) equal to 0.1% of an amount equal to the total number of Barrels of each Commodity injected into the Pipeline at the Origin Point at the Wood River Refinery during the relevant Month multiplied by the average midpoint of the prices published by Argus for Group 3 and for that Commodity on each publication Day during that Month; and

 

(ii)                                  Carrier shall be entitled to the value of volume gained in transit and shall be responsible for the value of any volume lost in transit.  Company shall pay Carrier the value of any volume gained, and Carrier shall pay Company the value of any volume lost, with the value of a Commodity being equal to the average midpoint of the prices published by Argus for Group 3 and for that Commodity on each publication Day during that Month,

 

and

 

(b)                                 with regard to Tariff Rates:

 

(i)                                     Carrier may file with FERC (or the Illinois Commerce Commission, as the case may be) to adjust Tariff Rates annually beginning as of July 1, 2013, at a rate equal to 40% of the percentage change in the inflationary index promulgated by FERC, in accordance with FERC’s indexing methodology; provided, however, that if FERC terminates its indexing methodology and does not adopt a new methodology, the parties will negotiate in good faith any adjustments to existing Tariff Rates; and

 

9

 

(ii)                                  Carrier may file with FERC (or the Illinois Commerce Commission, as the case may be) to adjust tariff rates annually beginning January 1, 2014, at a rate equal to 60% of the positive change in the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods (Series ID WPUSOP3000) (such Index, the “PPI-FG”), as reported during the Month of October immediately before the effective date of the adjustment and with respect to the 12-Month period ending at the end of the Month of September immediately preceding such publication, provided that if, with respect to any such 12-Month period or periods, the PPI-FG has decreased, Carrier may file to subsequently increase its tariff rates under this provision only to the extent that the percentage change in the PPI-FG since the most recent previous PPI-FG-based increase in the Annual Commitment is greater than the cumulative decreases in the PPI-FG during the intervening periods.

 

For clarity, the Loss Allowance Fee described in Section 4.01(a)(i) and the entitlement and obligation described in Section 4.01(a)(ii) relate only to losses or gains of a type normally incurred in connection with the transportation of Commodities and are exceptions to and not modifications of the general provisions of Section 16.02.

 

Section 4.02                             No Challenge of Rates. Each of Company and Carrier agrees not to commence or support any tariff filing, application, protest, complaint, petition, motion, or other proceeding before FERC or the Illinois Commerce Commission for the purpose of requesting that FERC or the Illinois Commerce Commission accept or set Tariff Rates applicable to the Pipeline which are inconsistent with this Agreement, provided that Company reserves its rights under FERC regulations to challenge any proposed changes in the Tariff Rate (a) to the extent that such changes are inconsistent with the indexing method provided in 18 C.F.R. §342.3, or (b) through other rate changing methodologies under 18 C.F.R. §342.4.

 

Article V.                                          Scheduling

 

Section 5.01                             Scheduling. For each Origin Point, Company shall provide Carrier with a written schedule by the tenth Day of the Month preceding the Month during which injections into the Pipeline are to be made, advising Carrier of the volumes of each Commodity to be tendered for transportation, and estimated date(s) of such tenders.  Carrier will review and confirm its ability to receive according to the schedule by the 20th Day of such preceding Month.

 

Article VI.                                     Quality

 

Section 6.01                             Quality.

 

(a)                                 Company agrees not to deliver or cause to be delivered into the Pipeline any Non-Conforming Commodity.

 

(b)                                 Company shall be liable for all reasonable costs and losses in curing, removing, or recovering any Non-Conforming Commodities except to the extent that such non-conformity is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Carrier.  After such

 

10

 

consultation with Company as may be practical under the circumstances, but otherwise at Carrier’s sole discretion, Carrier may attempt to blend the Non-Conforming Commodities, remove and dispose of the Non-Conforming Commodities, or, if necessary, recover any Non-Conforming Commodities from field locations and, except to the extent that such non-conformity is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Carrier, Company shall reimburse Carrier for all reasonable costs associated therewith.  Except to the extent that a non-conformity is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Carrier, if Company’s Non-Conforming Commodities cause any contamination, dilution or other damages to the Commodities of other customers of Carrier, Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Carrier Affiliated Parties harmless from and against any Claims incurred by, or charged against any of the Carrier Affiliated Parties, as a result of such event and shall be responsible for all costs and liabilities associated with or incurred as a result of such event.

 

Article VII.                                Monthly Statement; Payment; Liens

If requested by Company, Carrier shall provide Company with copies of individual meter tickets for such Month, if available.

 

(b)                                 The Monthly statement for the last Month in each Calendar Quarter shall include any Wood River Quarterly Deficiency Payment or Hartford Quarterly Deficiency Payment that may be due after application of any credit pursuant to Section 3.03.

 

Section 7.02                             Payment.

 

(a)                                 Company shall pay the Wood River Reservation Fee and the Hartford Reservation Fee on or before the first Day of each Month, provided that if the Effective Date is any Day other than the first Day of a Month, Company shall pay the Wood River Reservation Fee and the Hartford Reservation Fee for the partial Month during which the Effective Date occurs on the Effective Date.

 

(b)                                 Payment of the amount(s) identified on each Monthly statement shall be due, without discount, on the later of (i) two Business Days after such Monthly Statement is received, and (ii) the 22nd Day of the Month in which such Monthly statement is received, provided that if such Day is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be due, without interest, on the next Business Day.

(c)                                  All payments shall be made to Carrier by automated clearing house to an account specified by Carrier from time to time, provided that as long as Carrier is an affiliate of Company, Carrier and Company may settle Company’s financial obligations to Carrier through Company’s normal interaffiliate settlement processes.  Any bank charges incurred by Company in remitting funds by automated clearing house shall be for Company’s account.  Acceptance by Carrier of any payment from Company for any charge or service after termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not be deemed a renewal of this Agreement or a waiver by Carrier of any default by Company hereunder.

 

(d)                                 If Company reasonably disputes any Monthly statement, in whole or in part, Company shall promptly notify Carrier in writing of the dispute and shall pay the undisputed portion according to the terms of this Section 7.02, and shall promptly seek to resolve the dispute including, if necessary, by arbitration as provided in Section 18.01.  An arbitral panel may award reasonable interest on any unpaid amount determined to have been due to Carrier but withheld in good faith.

Section 8.01                             Title. Company shall retain title to all of Company’s Commodities in transit on the Pipeline at all times.  This provision does not preclude Company from any intraline transfer of title to a third party; in the event of such a transfer, such third party, and not Carrier, shall have title to the affected Commodity according to the terms of the relevant agreement between Company and such third party.

 

Section 8.02                             Custody. Carrier shall be deemed to have custody of a Commodity injected into the Pipeline from the time such Commodity passes through the flange connection between the relevant Origin Point and the Pipeline until it is delivered to Company or, at the direction of Company, to a third party through the flange connection (a) between the delivery hose at the Terminal’s truck loading rack and a receiving transport truck, or (b) between the Terminal and a receiving third party pipeline, as the case may be.

(a)                                 Neither Party may assign its rights under this Agreement without prior written consent of the other Party except:

 

(i)                                     if WRB Refining LP transfers the Wood River Refinery, Company may assign this Agreement to the transferee subject to the provisions of Section 18.02(b); and

Section 18.07                      Non-Waiver.

17

Exhibit B

 

Arbitration Procedure

 

Either Party may initiate dispute resolution procedures by sending a Notice to the other Party specifically stating the complaining Party’s Claim and by initiating binding arbitration in accordance with the Center for Public Resources Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration of Business Disputes, by three arbitrators who shall be neutral, independent, and generally knowledgeable about the type of transaction which gave rise to the dispute.  The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, provided that the arbitrators shall include in their report/award a list of findings, with supporting evidentiary references, upon which they have relied in making their decision.  Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The place of arbitration shall be Houston, Texas.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein and regardless of any procedures or rules of the Center for Public Resources, it is expressly agreed that the following shall apply and control over any other provision in this Agreement:

 

(a)                                 All offers, conduct, views, opinions and statements made in the course of negotiation or mediation by any of the Parties, their employees, agents, experts, attorneys and representatives, and by any mediator, are confidential, made for compromise and settlement, protected from disclosure under Federal and State Rules of Evidence and Procedure, and inadmissible and not discoverable for any purpose, including impeachment, in litigation or legal proceedings between the Parties, and shall not be disclosed to any Person who is not an agent, employee, expert or representative of the Parties, provided that evidence otherwise discoverable or admissible is not excluded from discovery or admission as a result of presentation or use in mediation.

 

(b)                                 Except to the extent that the Parties may agree upon selection of one or more arbitrators, the Center for Public Resources shall select arbitrators from a panel reviewed by the Parties.  The Parties shall be entitled to exercise peremptory strikes against one-third of the panel and may challenge other candidates for lack of neutrality or lack of qualifications.  Challenges shall be resolved in accordance with Center for Public Resource rules.

 

(c)                                  The Parties shall have at least 20 Days following the close of hearing within which to submit a brief (not to exceed 18 pages in length) and ten Days from date of receipt of the opponent’s brief within which to respond thereto.

 

(d)                                 The Parties expressly agree that the arbitrators shall not award punitive damages, consequential damages, or attorneys’ fees (except attorneys’ fees specifically authorized by the Agreement).

 

1

 

(e)                                  The fees and expenses of any mediator or arbitrator shall be shared equally by the Parties.

 

(f)                                   The Parties may, by written agreement (signed by both Parties), alter any time deadline or location(s) for meetings.

 

Time is of the essence for purposes of the provisions of this Exhibit.

(i)                                     Customer shall inform Holdings of the estimated time of arrival of each vessel from which Crude Oil is to be unloaded at the Clifton Ridge Dock or the Pecan Grove Dock as soon as practicable and (A) for tankers and to the extent practicable, at each of ten, seven, three, two and one Day before such tanker’s arrival and (B) for barges and to the extent practicable, at each of 72, 48 and 24 hours before such barge’s arrival.  If so informed, Holdings will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide such vessel with berthing space within 24 hours after the master, agent or representative of such vessel tenders “notice of readiness” to Holdings, stating that the vessel is ready in all respects to berth at the relevant Dock to discharge Crude Oil.  Absent such information, Holdings shall make commercially reasonable efforts to provide such vessel with berthing space to the extent that doing so would not be reasonably likely to impede a vessel that has provided such information.

 

(ii)                                  Holdings does not guarantee any particular rate at which Crude Oil will be offloaded from a vessel.

 

(iii)                               Holdings shall not be liable for any demurrage charges for any vessel except to the extent caused by Holdings’ willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement.

 

(iv)                              In no event shall Holdings be responsible for any port expenses (including, but not limited to, pilotage, towage, linemen, fees related to marine preservation or spill prevention).

 

(b)                                 If Company fails to meet its Minimum Quarterly Dock Commitment during any Calendar Quarter, then Company will pay Holdings a deficiency payment (each, a “Dock Deficiency Payment”) equal to the volume of the deficiency multiplied by the “Dock Services Fee” determined in accordance with Exhibit A.

(c)                                  The dollar amount of any Dock Deficiency Payment paid by Company may be applied as a credit against any amounts incurred by Company and owed to Holdings with respect to volumes of Crude Oil offloaded at the Docks in excess of Company’s Minimum Quarterly Dock Commitment (or, if this Agreement expires or is terminated, to volumes of Crude Oil that would have been in excess of Company’s Minimum Quarterly Dock Commitment if this Agreement were still in effect) during any of the four Calendar Quarters immediately following the Calendar Quarter for which such Quarterly Deficiency Payment was made, at the end of which time any unused credits arising from such Quarterly Deficiency Payment will expire.  This Section 3.01(c) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 Holdings shall provide dock capacity in addition to Company’s Minimum Quarterly Dock Commitment on an “as available” basis, at the “Dock Services Fee” determined in accordance with Exhibit A.

(b)                                 During each Calendar Quarter, Company shall deliver, and accept delivery into a pipeline, at the Clifton Ridge Terminal at least a combined average of 190,000 Barrels per Day of Crude Oil, in approximately ratable quantities (such average, the “Minimum Quarterly Throughput Commitment”).  Throughput up to 10,500,000 Barrels per Calendar Quarter is included in the Capacity Commitment; for each Barrel of Crude Oil in excess of the Capacity Commitment, Company shall pay to Holdings an amount equal to the “Activity Fee” determined in accordance with Exhibit A.

 

(c)                                  If Company fails to meet its Minimum Quarterly Throughput Commitment during any Calendar Quarter, then Company will pay Holdings a deficiency payment (each, a “Throughput Deficiency Payment”) equal to the volume of the deficiency multiplied by the “Activity Fee” determined in accordance with Exhibit A.  For purposes of this calculation, “deficiency” means the amount by which actual throughput is less than the Minimum Quarterly Throughput Commitment but greater than 10,500,000 barrels.

 

(d)                                 The dollar amount of any Throughput Deficiency Payment paid by Company may be applied as a credit against any amounts incurred by Company and owed to Holdings with respect to volumes of Crude Oil throughput at the Clifton Ridge Terminal in excess of Company’s Minimum Quarterly Throughput Commitment

Exhibit B

 

Arbitration Procedure

 

Either Party may initiate dispute resolution procedures by sending a Notice to the other Party specifically stating the complaining Party’s Claim and by initiating binding arbitration in accordance with the Center for Public Resources Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration of Business Disputes, by three arbitrators who shall be neutral, independent, and generally knowledgeable about the type of transaction which gave rise to the dispute.  The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, provided that the arbitrators shall include in their report/award a list of findings, with supporting evidentiary references, upon which they have relied in making their decision.  Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The place of arbitration shall be Houston, Texas.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein and regardless of any procedures or rules of the Center for Public Resources, it is expressly agreed that the following shall apply and control over any other provision in this Agreement:

 

(a)                                 All offers, conduct, views, opinions and statements made in the course of negotiation or mediation by any of the Parties, their employees, agents, experts, attorneys and representatives, and by any mediator, are confidential, made for compromise and settlement, protected from disclosure under Federal and State Rules of Evidence and Procedure, and inadmissible and not discoverable for any purpose, including impeachment, in litigation or legal proceedings between the Parties, and shall not be disclosed to any Person who is not an agent, employee, expert or representative of the Parties, provided that evidence otherwise discoverable or admissible is not excluded from discovery or admission as a result of presentation or use in mediation.

 

(b)                                 Except to the extent that the Parties may agree upon selection of one or more arbitrators, the Center for Public Resources shall select arbitrators from a panel reviewed by the Parties.  The Parties shall be entitled to exercise peremptory strikes against one-third of the panel and may challenge other candidates for lack of neutrality or lack of qualifications. Challenges shall be resolved in accordance with Center for Public Resource rules.

 

(c)                                  The Parties shall have at least 20 Days following the close of hearing within which to submit a brief (not to exceed 18 pages in length) and ten Days from date of receipt of the opponent’s brief within which to respond thereto.

 

(d)                                 The Parties expressly agree that the arbitrators shall not award punitive damages, consequential damages, or attorneys’ fees (except attorneys’ fees specifically authorized by the Agreement).

(f)                                   The Parties may, by written agreement (signed by both Parties), alter any time deadline or location(s) for meetings.

 

Time is of the essence for purposes of the provisions of this Exhibit.
