Other sums due

7.8 The payment of any costs, expenses or charges other than the Shipment Value which arise
under the Agreement shall be made against presentation of Seller’s invoice and shall be for
immediate settlement by Buyer on or by the date advised thereon.

Interest

whatsoever. The provisions of this Section shall not be construed as an indication of any

any rights or remedies which Seller may have under the Agreement or otherwise.

7.10 Any expenses incurred by Seller, including but not limited to reasonable legal fees, court
costs and collection agency fees, caused by delay or nonpayment by Buyer of the amount(s)

 Payment Security

7.11 Seller shall be entitled on giving Buyer notice of not less than two (2) Banking Days, to
require and receive:

7.11.1 a standby letter of credit in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.12; or

7.11.2 payment of cash in advance, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.17.

Standby letter of credit

7.12 Where under the Agreement, or by virtue of the provisions of Section 7.11 above, the
Shipment Value is to be secured by a standby letter of credit, Buyer shall establish and deliver
to Seller an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the form set out in Schedule B and in all
respects acceptable to Seller, to be issued or confirmed in the form set out in Schedule B by a
first class international bank acceptable to Seller. The standby letter of credit shall be
sufficient to cover the contractual mean value of the Product at the price per unit for the
Shipment and the maximum quantity of the Shipment (that is, the upper limit of any
operational or shipment tolerance or option) plus 10%.

7.13 Where a standby letter of credit is required under the Trade Confirmation, it must be
established and delivered at least ten (10) days prior to the first day of the Agreed Date
Range, save in the case of ex-tank, into tank, in situ and free in pipeline deliveries, in which
case the standby letter of credit must be opened ten (10 days) before the estimated first day of
Delivery. The standby letter of credit and any confirmation thereof must not expire sooner
than fifteen (15) days after the final Due Date for the Shipment to which the letter of credit
applies.

7.14 All bank charges incurred in connection with the establishment of letters of credit, including
without limitation, opening, amendment and correspondent charges, confirmation and all
related banking fees, commissions, or expenses shall be for Buyer’s account. In addition,
Buyer shall bear all costs of demurrage and any other fees or charges arising from Buyer’s
failure to provide a confirmed standby letter of credit acceptable to Seller by the date
specified above.

7.15 The standby letter of credit shall take effect in accordance with its terms (including any
agreed amendment(s) thereto) but such terms shall not alter, add to or in any way affect the
provisions of the Agreement (or any of them) unless Seller and Buyer expressly agree in
writing that any such term shall so alter, add to, or in any way affect, the provisions of the
Agreement.

7.16 If for any reason the loading or discharge, as the case may be, of the Vessel will not take
place within the period for such loading or discharge referred to in the standby letter of credit,
Buyer shall either obtain an extension of such period for loading or discharge or provide a
new standby letter of credit on terms acceptable to Seller.

Cash in advance

7.17 Where, under the Trade Confirmation or by virtue of the provisions of Section ‎7.11.2, the
Shipment Value is to be paid by means of cash in advance, Buyer shall make payment based
on Seller’s reasonable estimate of the Shipment Value based on the maximum quantity of the
Shipment (that is, the upper limit of any operational or Shipment tolerance or option).
Payment of cash in advance shall be made by the date specified in the Trade Confirmation or
as specified in Seller’s notice pursuant to Section ‎7.11.2. Seller or Buyer as applicable shall
account to the other forthwith, and in no event later than five (5) Banking Days after receipt
by Buyer of Seller’s final commercial invoice, for any difference between the sum paid in
advance and the Shipment Value specified in the final commercial invoice. No interest shall
be due on the difference between the sum paid in advance and the actual Shipment Value.

paying any Tax.

8.4 Seller shall not be the importer of record. All Taxes that arise in respect of such customs and
excise entry shall be for Buyer’s account.

8.5 Buyer must provide Seller with any such documentation that Seller reasonably considers to be
necessary to satisfy any enquiry of any tax authority.

9 FORCE MAJEURE

9.1 Subject to: (i) compliance with the notice provisions in clause 9.3; and

(ii) the extent provided in clause 9.4,

neither Seller nor Buyer shall be liable for a failure to perform any of its obligations under the
Agreement insofar as that party demonstrates that the failure was due to an impediment
beyond its control.

9.2 An impediment within Section 9.1 above shall include prevention of a party’s performance of
its obligations hereunder resulting from events such as the following, this list not being
exhaustive:

9.2.1.1 war, whether declared or not, civil war, riots and revolutions, acts of piracy, acts of
sabotage;

9.2.1.2 natural disasters such as violent storms, cyclones, earthquakes, tidal waves, floods,
destruction by lightning;

9.2.1.3 explosions, fires, destruction of tankage, pipelines, refineries or terminals and any kind of
installations;

9.2.1.4 boycotts, strikes, lock-outs, labour disputes of all kinds, go-slows, occupation of factories
and premises;

9.2.1.5 any curtailment, reduction in, interference with, failure or cessation of, supplies of Product
from any of Seller’s or Seller’s suppliers’ sources of supply or by any refusal to supply
Product, whether lawful or otherwise by Seller’s suppliers (provided in fact the sources of
supply were intended to be used to fulfil the Agreement) including a change in the product
sales policies of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; and

9.2.1.6 any compliance with any law, regulation or ordinance, or with any order, demand or request
(including any obligation arising out of the exercise of a requirement to deliver Product of
the quality deliverable hereunder by way of royalty-in-kind) of an international or national
port, transportation, local or other authority or agency or of any body or person purporting
to be or to act for such authority or agency or any corporation directly or indirectly
controlled by any of them.

-8-
9.2.2 An impediment within Section 9.1 above shall not include events, including lack of funds,
which merely make it more costly or difficult to make payment under the Agreement.

9.3 The party seeking relief (the “Relying Party”) shall as soon as possible after the impediment
becomes known to it give notice in writing to the other party (the “Unaffected Party”) of
such impediment and the effects, or the reasonably anticipated effects, on its ability to
perform in as much detail as possible and the appropriate relief sought. The appropriate relief
takes effect from the time the other party receives the notice. In the event of failure to give
notice as soon as possible the Relying Party shall be liable to the other party for damages for
loss but only to the extent that such loss could reasonably have been avoided had prompt
notice been given.

9.4 The appropriate relief where force majeure has been declared shall be as follows:

9.4.1 where Seller is the Unaffected Party, Seller shall have the right to immediately terminate the
parties’ obligations in relation to the affected Shipment(s) only, without damages, penalties or
other contractual sanctions and shall be entitled to dispose freely of such undelivered Product
at its sole discretion;

9.4.2 in all other circumstances in which force majeure is validly declared (including where Seller
decides not to exercise its rights under Section 9.4.1), the parties’ obligations in relation to the
affected Shipment(s) only shall be postponed without liability for damages, penalties and
other contractual sanctions for a period until midnight local time on the last date of the
Agreed Date Range, or until such time as the impediment is removed, whichever is the earlier.
The impediment shall not, however, operate to extend the term of the Agreement. Further,
should the impediment continue beyond midnight local time on the last day of the Agreed
Date Range then it shall be deemed to terminate without liability for damages, penalties and
other contractual sanctions the parties’ obligations in relation to the affected Shipment(s)
only; and

9.4.3 the Relying Party, if Seller, shall not be obliged to purchase afloat or otherwise from other
suppliers to make good a shortage or deficiency of delivery resulting from an impediment.

9.5 Nothing in this Section 9 shall be taken to limit or prevent the operation of the doctrine of
frustration (including frustration of the adventure or the purpose of the Agreement).

33.2 In the event that the Vessel or Buyers dispute the Seller’s figures for quantities loaded and
Seller delays the Vessel for additional measurement checks after disconnection of loading
hoses and such measurement checks show that:

- 19 -
33.2.1 Seller’s initial shore measurement quantities were in error, used Laytime shall cease upon the
release of the Vessel at anchorage.

33.2.2 Vessel’s initial measurement quantities were in error, used Laytime shall cease upon
disconnection of hoses of the Vessel.

33.2.3 If such measurement checks show that both Vessel's initial measurement quantities and Seller
initial shore measurement quantities were in error, one-half of the time spent between
disconnection of loading hoses and release of the Vessel shall count as used Laytime.

34 LAYTIME ALLOWANCES

34.1 The time allowed to Seller as Laytime for the loading of the quantity of the Product
deliverable hereunder to the Vessel shall be:

34.1.1 such time as is specified in the Trade Confirmation; or

34.1.2 in the case of loading of a full cargo lot:

34.1.2.1 in the case of Vessels of 15,000 tons summer deadweight or less, 24 running hours; or

34.1.2.2 in all other cases, 36 running hours; or

34.1.3 in the case of loading a part cargo lot, that proportion of 24 or 36 running hours, as the case
may be, which the quantity of the Product in the Shipment, plus 5 percent, bears to the total
quantity of Product loaded on the Vessel at the Loading Port(s),

all days and holidays included unless loading on the day or holiday in question is prohibited
by law or regulation at the Loading Port.

34.2 If Buyer fails to give any notice of ETA at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance of arrival
of any Vessel, in accordance with Section 29.3, and Seller elects to load the Vessel, the
Laytime allowed to Seller shall be extended by a period equal to the difference between
twenty-four (24) hours and the number of hours prior to arrival of such Vessel which elapsed
before notice of ETA was received by Seller.

34.3 If, by reason of the Vessel's construction or by action of Buyer or the Vessel's Master, the
Vessel cannot be loaded with Product at the loading port average loading rates, the Vessel
shall be considered a slow loader and the resulting increase in loading time will be added to
the allowed Laytime and shall not count as used Laytime or demurrage. In addition Buyer
shall be responsible for all additional costs, including those resulting from used laytime or
demurrage incurred on other vessels waiting to load or discharge, which are incurred by Seller
as a result of the reduction in the rate at which the Vessel is loaded.

34.4 The following shall apply to the loading of two (2) or more Product grades:

34.4.1 If a Vessel is required to load two (2) or more Product grades and the Loading Port facilities
and availability of Product permit these grades to be loaded concurrently, only the time
required for the loading of the Product grade with the largest quantity shall count against
allowed Laytime.

34.4.2 In the event that the Vessel is capable of loading two (2) or more grades concurrently but
Loading Port facilities do not permit concurrent loading, the total time taken for loading
subject to any applicable deduction(s) shall count against allowed Laytime.

36.1.2.2 Buyer, or its Affiliate(s) is liable to and has paid demurrage to the owner or chartered owner
of the Vessel under the terms of the applicable charter party. In no event shall the liability
of Seller for demurrage exceed demurrage actually and properly incurred by Buyer under
the terms of the applicable charter party.

36.2 Where the Delivery made under the Agreement is co-loaded with Product being delivered
onto the Vessel by another supplier at the same Berth, Seller shall only be liable for that
proportion of the demurrage equal to the ratio of the volume delivered by Seller as against the
total volume loaded onto the Vessel at that Berth.

36.2.1 Seller shall pay to Buyer demurrage, in the same currency as is prescribed for payment of the
Shipment Value under the Agreement, in respect of the excess time at the appropriate rate per
day (or pro rata for part of a day) as hereinafter specified.

37 DEMURRAGE RATE DETERMINATION

37.1 For voyage chartered Vessels, the rate of demurrage shall be the lower of the actual charter

delivery was originally expected; claims submitted later shall be deemed null and void.

39 VESSEL CARGO TANK INSPECTION

39.1 If an independent inspector boards a Vessel to inspect the cargo tanks before loading or to
sample and inspect the cargo during or after loading, such an inspector shall be regarded as an
agent of the appointing party in that respect. As such, the appointing party shall be liable for
the consequences resulting from any act, failure or omission on the part of the independent
inspector.

40 COMPLIANCE WITH ISPS CODE

40.1 Seller and Buyer shall comply with, and Buyer shall procure that the Vessel shall comply
with, the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code and relevant amendments to
Chapter XI of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974 (SOLAS),
(“ISPS Code”) and where the Loading Port is within the U.S.A. and U.S. territories or waters,

 PART III: CONTRACTS FOR CIF, CFR AND DAP DELIVERIES

41 DELIVERY, TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS

41.1 In this Part III:

41.1.1 Where the agreed delivery basis is CIF or CFR Delivery Point, “Delivery Point” shall mean
the point at which the Product passes the outer edge of the flange of the Product loading line
at the connection with the flange of the receiving line of Seller’s Vessel; and

41.1.2 Where the agreed delivery basis is DAP Delivery Point, “Delivery Point” shall mean the point
at which the Product passes the outer edge of the flange of Seller’s Vessel’s delivery line at
the connection with the flange of the receiving line at the Discharge Port.

41.2 Where the delivery basis stated in the Trade Confirmation is DES or “Delivered Ex-Ship” or
simply “Ex-Ship”, it shall be deemed to be a delivery on a DAP basis and Part I and Part III
of this Agreement will apply in respect of such transaction as if it were a DAP delivery.

41.3 Title to and all risk of loss or damage to the Product sold hereunder shall pass ratably from
Seller to Buyer at the Delivery Point, save in relation to a CIF or CFR delivery where the
Loading Port is located in the United States of America (“USA”) or within territories of the
USA, in which case title and risk shall pass to the Buyer immediately after the Vessel
carrying the Product leaves the waters comprising the exclusive economic zone of the USA or
USA territories.

41.4 Any loss occurring at the Delivery Point shall be Buyer’s responsibility and the amount lost
shall be deemed to have been Delivered to Buyer. In the case of DAP deliveries, Seller shall
be liable for any damage to any property of Buyer or the Discharge Port terminal operator,
and the consequences of pollution to seawater before, during or after discharge caused
through the fault of Seller or the Vessel.

41.5 In the case of delivery as a part cargo lot where the Product deliverable hereunder is not
identifiable or ascertainable on board Seller’s Vessel separately from Product destined for
receivers other than Buyer, risk and property in the Product shall pass in accordance with
Section 41.3 and Buyer shall be an owner in common of the bulk with the other receivers,
each owning a proportion of the bulk represented by their respective bills of lading to the total
quantity recorded on all the bills of lading issued in respect of the bulk.

41.6 In the case of CIF and CFR deliveries, if the Vessel has commenced or completed loading
prior to being nominated to Buyer pursuant to Section 47, then notwithstanding any right of
Seller to retain the documents referred to in Section 7.4 until payment, the risk in the Product
delivered under the Agreement shall be deemed to have passed to Buyer at the Delivery Point
and title in the Product shall pass immediately upon receipt by Seller of Buyer’s acceptance of
such nomination.

42 PRODUCT QUANTITY AND QUALITY

42.1 In the case of CIF or CFR Deliveries:

42.1.1 The quantity of bulk Product delivered shall be determined by custody transfer meters (if
available) or by shore tank gauging and temperature measurement made by Seller or Seller’s
nominated representative in accordance with standard practice at the Loading Port
immediately before and after Delivery. The cost of such measurement shall be borne by
Seller.

42.1.2 In determining the net volume delivered, the quantity of Product shall be corrected to volumes
at sixty degrees Fahrenheit and/or fifteen degrees Centigrade (60F/15C) as applicable. The
petroleum measurement tables used to determine volume conversion factors, density

- 24 -
 reduction and other factors at the Loading Ports shall be the ASTM-IP Petroleum
Measurement Tables, American Edition 1952, prepared jointly by the ASTM and the IP, or, if
approved for official use by Seller, the current version of the API/ASTM/IP/ISO Petroleum
Measurement Tables, ASTM D 1250 -80 prepared by the ASTM.

42.1.3 Testing of the quality of Product, unless otherwise stated in the Trade Confirmation, shall be
conducted in accordance with standard practice at the Loading Port generally consistent with
and according to the latest Standard or Tentative Standard Methods of the ASTM/API or IP
procedures.

42.1.4 Seller/Seller’s representative shall prepare certificates stating the quality and quantity of the
Product which shall be made available to both parties.

42.1.5 Buyer shall have the right to appoint (at its own expense) an independent inspector to witness
jointly with Seller, and prior to and/or after Delivery, the quantity measurements, sampling
and quality testing performed by Seller of the Product loaded onto the Vessel, provided it is
reasonably practicable to do so. Seller shall not be obliged to arrange for accommodation
and/or any government passes required for Buyer’s appointed independent inspector to enter
the Loading Port.

42.1.6 Seller’s determination of quantity and quality as provided in Sections 42.1.1 – 42.1.4, except
in cases of fraud or manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on the parties for invoicing
purposes, subject to the parties’ rights to bring a claim in accordance with Section 6.

42.2 In the case of DAP Deliveries:

42.2.1 The quantity and quality of the Product delivered under the Agreement shall be determined by
measurement, sampling and testing carried out at the Discharge Port by an independent
inspector. The independent inspector shall be mutually agreed by Buyer and Seller and
appointed by Seller on behalf of both Buyer and Seller.

42.2.2 The independent inspector shall for the purpose of determining the quantity of the Product
proceed as follows:

42.2.2.1 where the Product is delivered from Seller’s Vessel directly into static shore tanks (that is
shore tanks to or from which no Product is being pumped other than the Product being
delivered hereunder) or floating storage the gross quantity of the Product so delivered shall
be determined by the independent inspector by reference to Discharge Port meter
measurements taken or witnessed by the independent inspector in accordance with API
MPMS Chapter 5. Meters shall be proved prior to discharge by or in the presence of the
independent inspector in accordance with API MPMS Chapter 4. Where metering facilities
are not available, or where in the opinion of the independent inspector the meters did not
perform in accordance with API MPMS Chapter 5, or where the meters were not proven
prior to discharge in accordance with API MPMS Chapter 4, the gross quantity of the
Product delivered hereunder shall be determined by reference to shore tank gaugings taken
or witnessed by the independent inspector in accordance with API MPMS Chapter 3; or

42.2.2.2 where the Product is delivered from Seller’s Vessel directly into active shore tanks (that is
shore tanks where Product is being pumped out of the tank during the discharge of the
Product hereunder) and where no correctly functioning or proven Discharge Port meters are
available in accordance with Section 42.2.2.1, the gross quantity of the Product delivered
hereunder shall be determined by the independent inspector by reference to the Vessel’s
discharged figures as adjusted by its Vessel Experience Factor (“VEF”) in accordance with
VEF Addendum to API MPMS Chapter 17.1. However, adjustment of the net quantity
discharged from the Seller’s vessel by VEF is not acceptable as a basis for Seller’s invoice if
the resultant volume is greater than the volume originally stated on the bill of lading, in
which case the bill of lading figures shall be used for invoicing purposes. . All volumes
determined hereunder shall be adjusted to 60 degrees F by applying API-IP Table

- 25 -
42.2.3 The independent inspector shall for the purpose of determining the quality of the Product
carry out or witness tests on a composite sample of the Product taken by the inspector or in
his presence from the Vessel’s tanks at the Discharge Port immediately prior to
commencement of discharge and in accordance with the test method(s) referred to in the
specification of the Product set out in the Trade Confirmation, or, where no test method is set
out, in accordance with the most current API and ASTM Measurement Standards at the time
of Delivery.

42.2.4 The costs of inspection shall be borne by Buyer and Seller in equal shares.

42.2.5 The inspector shall produce certificates of quality and quantity which shall be made available
to both parties.

42.2.6 Buyer shall ensure that the independent inspector shall have full access to the facilities at the
Discharge Port necessary to enable the inspector to perform his duties.

42.2.7 The determination of quantity and quality as provided in Sections 42.2.1-42.2.3 shall, except
in cases of fraud or manifest error, be final and binding on the parties (save where the bill of
lading figures are greater than the VEF adjusted figures as provided in Section 42.2.2.2). Any
discrepancy between the bill of lading quantity and the quantity stated in Seller’s results shall
not affect any of Buyer’s obligations under the Agreement, including but not limited to
Buyer’s payment obligations.

42.2.8 In the case of a DAP transaction, the Buyer may exercise its right to reject a Shipment at any
time before Delivery has taken place if that Shipment does not comply with the agreed
specification and/or in case the Product is not homogenously blended.

42.2.9 Upon the Buyer giving notice of its valid rejection of the Shipment, title and risk in the
Shipment shall revert to Seller and disposal of the Shipment shall be for Seller’s account.
Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer in respect of all direct liabilities, losses, costs,
expenses and claims suffered or incurred by Buyer as a direct result of the valid rejection of a
Shipment.

43 PRODUCT SAMPLING AND RETENTION AND TESTING OF THE RETAINED

SAMPLE

43.1 In the case of CIF and CFR Deliveries:

43.1.1 Seller shall (at its own expense) take and retain samples of the Product loaded on the Vessel
and shall provide suitable storage for such samples. Seller shall at all times ensure that
sampling procedures are consistent with the most recent version of API/ASTM/IP/ISO
approved sampling procedures or shall use any other sampling procedure which is mutually
acceptable to Seller and Buyer.

43.1.2 Samples shall be sealed, one to be available for Buyer, and one to be retained by Seller for a
period of seventy-five (75) days from the Date of Delivery. Thereafter, the samples shall be
discarded unless retention is specifically requested in writing in each instance by Buyer in
which event Seller shall retain samples up to a period of not more than one (1) year. Seller’s
agreement to retain samples longer than seventy-five (75) days shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

43.1.3 If a party gives notice of a quality claim under Section 6, both parties shall mutually agree on
an independent inspector to witness the testing of, and a laboratory to, test the retained
sample. Any such testing shall be conducted in accordance with the latest Standard or
Tentative Standard Methods of the ASTM/API or IP procedures. The costs of such testing
shall be borne by the party which has given notice of the quality claim. The results of such
testing will be the final determination of the quality and shall be binding on both parties.

- 26 -
44 PART CARGO LOTS DELIVERED CFR OR CIF

44.1 Where delivery is made as an unsegregated part cargo lot to Buyer and a third party, the
quantity determined in accordance with the foregoing shall be adjusted so that, following
completion of discharge of the relevant part cargo lots, Buyer and such third party shall each
be allocated a percentage of the total loaded quantity equal to that percentage of the total
outturn quantity (determined at each Discharge Port in accordance with the provisions of
Sections 42.2.1 and 42.2.2) which was discharged at its Discharge Port. The costs of such
independent inspection shall be shared equally between the parties for their respective
Discharge Ports and the inspector’s report shall be made available to all parties.

45 INSURANCE

CIF Deliveries

45.1 In the case of a CIF Delivery, Seller undertakes to procure and pay for insurance against
marine risks to the full value of the Shipment plus 10%. Such insurance, which shall operate
from the time risk passes at the Loading Port until the Product passes the Vessel’s permanent
hose connection at the Discharge Port, shall be in accordance with the provisions of a Marine
Cargo Insurance Policy subject to Institute Cargo Clauses (A), and the benefit thereof shall
accrue to Buyer upon the passing of risk in the Shipment as provided for in the Agreement.

45.2 If requested by Buyer, Seller shall provide Buyer with the original certificate of insurance or
insurance company’s cover note.

Additional Vessel insurance, etc.

45.3 In all cases, if and for so long as the voyage to the Discharge Port, or any seas through which
the Vessel has to travel in performance of the Agreement incurs for Seller pursuant to the
terms of the relevant charter party, additional costs or charges including insurance or war risk
insurance premia for the Vessel’s hull and machinery, protection and indemnity or cargo
insurances, crew bonuses and the provision of security services for the Vessel, or any or all of
them, then any and all costs of such additional insurance and/or additional premia and/or
other expenses shall be paid by Buyer to Seller in addition to the Shipment Value payable
pursuant to the Agreement.

45.4 Seller reserves the right to refuse at any time:

45.4.1 to direct any Vessel to undertake or to complete the voyage to the Discharge Port if such
Vessel is required in the performance of the Agreement:

45.4.1.1 to transit or to proceed to or to remain in waters so that the Vessel concerned would be
involved in a breach of any Institute Warranties (if applicable) or, in Seller’s opinion, would
risk its safety (including but not limited to risks arising out of war, war-like operations or
hostilities, civil strife, terrorism or other politically or religiously motivated activities or
piracy) or would risk ice damage;

45.4.1.2 to transit or to proceed to or to remain in waters where war (de facto or de jure) is present or
imminent; or

45.4.1.3 to transit or to proceed to any place where the owners of the Vessel reasonably refuse to
allow the Vessel to proceed or remain pursuant to the terms of the relevant charter party; or

45.4.2 prior to the commencement of loading to direct any Vessel to undertake the voyage to the
intended Discharge Port if such Vessel is required in the performance of the terms of the
Agreement to transit waters which, in Seller’s reasonably held opinion, would involve
abnormal delay; or

- 27 -
45.4.3 to undertake any activity in furtherance of the voyage which in the opinion of the Vessel’s
master could place the Vessel, its cargo or crew at risk.

45.5 If Seller agrees to direct a Vessel to undertake or to complete the voyage as referred to in
Section 45.4.2, Buyer undertakes to reimburse Seller, in addition to the Shipment Value
payable under the Agreement, for costs incurred by Seller in respect of any additional
insurance and any other sums that Seller may be required to pay to the Vessel’s owner
including but not limited to any sums in respect of any amounts deductible under such
owners’ insurance and any other costs and/or expenses incurred by Seller.

46 AGREED DATE RANGE AND FIRM AND INDICATIVE AND GUARANTEED

DISCHARGE DATES

46.1 In the case of CIF and CFR Deliveries:

46.1.1 Where an Agreed Date Range is specified in the Trade Confirmation, this shall be the day or

Port and loading shall commence as soon as reasonably practicable, notwithstanding that
loading would be effected or completed outside the Agreed Date Range or outside any other
period specified in the Trade Confirmation.

46.1.2 Where the Agreed Date Range is specified in the Trade Confirmation, if Seller also expressly
or implicitly provides Buyer with a date or range of dates within which a nominated Vessel
shall arrive at the Discharge Port and does not state that such delivery dates are guaranteed
(“Indicative Discharge Dates”) these shall be indicative only, made by Seller only as a good
faith assessment without guarantee. Seller shall not assume any responsibility for the delivery
of the Product at the Discharge Port within the range of Indicative Discharge Dates. The
commencement of Laytime shall be determined in accordance with Section 54 below except
where it is specified in the Trade Confirmation that the Indicative Discharge Dates are to be
used for demurrage purposes in which case, Section 61 shall apply.

expressly or implicitly provides Buyer with a date or range of dates within which a nominated
Vessel shall arrive at the Discharge Port and does not state that such delivery dates are
guaranteed (“Indicative Discharge Dates”), then Seller shall not be in breach of and shall be
deemed to have fulfilled its obligation(s) with regard to any delivery provided the loading and
carriage of the relevant cargo is on terms (including, with regard to the place of loading, the
time of loading, and the expected/customary voyage time) consistent with the arrival at the
Discharge Port during the range of Indicative Discharge Dates, safe navigation and weather
permitting. The commencement of Laytime shall be determined in accordance with Section
61 below.

owner of the Vessel under the terms of the applicable charter party. In no event shall the
liability of Buyer for demurrage exceed demurrage actually and properly incurred by Seller
under the terms of the applicable charter party.

58.1.3 Buyer shall pay to Seller demurrage, in the same currency as is prescribed for payment of the
Shipment Value under the Agreement, in respect of the excess time at the appropriate rate per

conditions shall be deemed to include:

62.1.1.1 the provision that the Product shall be pumped out of the Vessel at the Vessel’s expense;

62.1.1.2 the provision that if, at any time after loading but before commencement of Discharge:

guidelines applied by the government of that country or any relevant agency
thereof; and/or

62.1.1.2.2 the country, state, territory or region at which Discharge was to have taken place
becomes a Restricted Jurisdiction (as defined in Section 18.2); the Shipment shall

to any such prohibition and which is acceptable to Seller (which acceptance shall
not be unreasonably withheld).

62.1.2 If any prohibition referred to in Section 62.1.1.2.2 becomes applicable, such alternative port
shall be deemed to be the Discharge Port stipulated under the Agreement for the Shipment in
question and all extra expenses (if any) involved in the Vessel’s reaching such alternative
Discharge Port and/or in the discharge of the Shipment thereat shall be for Buyer’s account.

62.1.3 Where Buyer, by written instruction, specifically requests that Seller discharge a quantity of
Product either:

62.1.3.1 without bills of lading being available for presentation to the Vessel’s master at the
Discharge Port; and/or

62.1.3.2 at a Discharge Port other than that named in the bill of lading; and/or

(including legal costs as between attorney or solicitor and client as associated expenses)
which Seller may sustain by reason of delivering the Product in accordance with Buyer’s
instructions.

62.1.4 Where Buyer, by written instruction to Seller, requests that the Vessel:

operations are permissible under the charter party of the carrying Vessel, then Buyer shall
indemnify and hold Seller harmless against any liability, loss, damage, delay or expense
which Seller may sustain by reason of complying with Buyer’s request. The indemnity given
by Buyer to Seller shall be no less in scope than the indemnity required by the Vessel owner
to comply with Buyer’s request.

demurrage due to the shipowners.

63 VESSEL CARGO TANK INSPECTION

63.1 If an independent inspector boards a Vessel to inspect the cargo tanks before discharge or to
sample and inspect the cargo during or after discharge, such an inspector shall be regarded as
an agent of the appointing party in that respect. As such, the appointing party shall be liable
for the consequences resulting from any act, failure or omission on the part of the independent
inspector.

directly from the failure of the Discharge Port/installation to comply with the ISPS Code or
the MTSA shall be for the account of Seller, including but not limited to the time required or

66.1 Subject to Sections 5.2 and 5.3 of Part I of the Agreement, the quantity and quality of Product
delivered hereunder shall be determined as follows.

66.2 The quantity and quality of the Product delivered under the Agreement shall be determined by
measurement, sampling and testing in accordance with the most current API and ASTM
measurement standards at the time of Delivery.

66.3 The quantity of the Product delivered shall be determined in accordance with the following
procedures:

66.3.1 In the case of an Ex Tank Delivery, the quantity shall be determined by using proven meters
(if available) at Seller’s tank(s) manifold exit point. If proven meters are unavailable,
measurement shall be taken by manual measurement of Seller’s tank(s). Where Seller’s
tank(s) are active or are unable to be measured manually, then the quantity shall be
determined pursuant to Section 66.5 below.

66.3.2 In the case of an Into Tank delivery, the quantity shall be determined by using proven meters
(if available) at Buyer’s tank(s) manifold entry point. If proven meters are unavailable,
measurement shall be taken by manual measurement of Buyer’s tank(s). Where Buyer’s
tank(s) are active or are unable to be measured manually, then the quantity shall be
determined pursuant to Section 66.3.1 above.

66.3.3 In the case of an In Situ (by way of stock transfer) delivery, the quantity shall be as specified
in the Trade Confirmation.

66.3.4 In the case of a FIP delivery, the quantity shall be determined by using the pipeline
company’s proven meters (if available). If proven meters are unavailable, the quantity shall be
determined pursuant to Section 66.3.1 above.

66.4 The quality shall be determined in accordance with the following procedures:

66.4.1 In the case of Ex Tank and Into Tank deliveries, the quality shall be determined in accordance
with test results run on a volumetrically correct composite of samples drawn from Seller's
tank(s). If Seller’s tank(s) are active, the quality shall be determined in accordance with test
results run on a volumetrically correct composite of samples drawn from Buyer's tank(s).

For the avoidance of doubt, where delivery is made from more than one tank, then the quality
shall be determined in accordance with test results run on a blend of volumetrically correct
composite samples drawn from each of Seller's tanks and then blended according to the
proportions from each tank. If any of Seller’s tanks are active, the quality shall be determined
from a blend of volumetrically correct composite samples drawn from Buyer's tank(s).

- 40 -
66.4.2 In the case of an In Situ (by way of stock transfer) delivery, if the quality has already been
determined by an independent inspection or by the storage company, then both parties shall
be bound by the results of such measurement, sampling and analysis. Otherwise, the quality
shall be determined in accordance with test results run on a volumetrically correct composite
of samples drawn from such tank(s).

66.4.3 In the case of an FIP delivery, where automatic samplers are available, the quality shall be
determined in accordance with test results run from flow proportional in line samples taken in
accordance with the standard practice in force at the pipeline facility. Where properly
functioning automatic samplers are not available, the quality shall be determined pursuant to
Section 66.4.1 above.

66.5 In the case of Ex Tank and Into Tank deliveries, if both Seller’s and Buyer’s tank(s) are active
or unable to measure manually, then the quantity and/or quality shall be determined by a
mutually acceptable independent inspector who will determine the quality and quantity of the
Product. The costs of the inspection shall be borne equally by both parties.

66.6 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 66.5, the inspector or party which carries out the
quality analysis must produce certificates of quantity and quality. Those certificates of quality
and quantity shall, except in cases of manifest error or fraud, be conclusive and binding on
both parties for invoicing purposes, subject to the parties’ rights to bring a claim in
accordance with Section 6.

66.7 Either party shall have the right to appoint (at its own expense) an independent inspector to
witness the quantity measurements, sampling and quality testing provided it is reasonably
practicable to do so.

67 RISK AND PROPERTY

67.1 The risk and property in the Product delivered under the Agreement shall pass to Buyer:

67.1.1 in the case of a FIP delivery, as the Product passes the inlet flange of Buyer's receiving
pipeline system; or

67.1.2 in the case of an Ex Tank delivery, as the Product passes the outlet flange of the Seller's
storage tank from which the Product is being delivered; or

67.1.3 in the case of an Into Tank delivery, as the Product passes the inlet flange of Buyer's receiving
storage tank; or

67.1.4 where delivery is effected In Situ (by way of stock transfer), at such time and day and in such
tank(s) as shall either be specified in the Trade Confirmation or as agreed between the parties
prior to such transfer being effected and, where applicable, confirmed by the owner/operator
of such tank(s).

 SCHEDULE C:

SUPPLEMENT IN RESPECT OF VAT, EXCISE DUTY AND EU

DOCUMENTATION AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

1. If the sale of Product is subject to VAT, the following shall apply:

1.1 Both Buyer and Seller recognize that VAT may be due on the transaction outlined in the
Agreement and both parties agree to supply all necessary information required to determine
the VAT treatment and to issue invoices compliant with the VAT laws of the country in
which the transaction occurs or is treated as occurring for the purposes of VAT. Payment of
Tax invoices shall be made in the same manner as provided for payment of the Shipment
Value.

1.2 Where the Discharge Port is within the EU then Buyer shall prior to the commencement of
loading, provide Seller with the VAT and excise duty numbers of the final consignee of the
Product (who may be Buyer) and any other information which the Seller considers necessary.

1.3 Where the destination is outside the EU, Seller may require Buyer to deposit an amount equal
to the VAT and excise duty due or require Buyer to record the amount due.

1.4 If Seller is able to obtain a credit or repayment of any VAT or similar tax which has been paid
by Buyer, Seller shall promptly reimburse Buyer with the net amount so credited or repaid,
less any costs, penalties and interest. Seller shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain such
credit or repayment.

1.5 Where in accordance with such VAT rules any supplies under an individual contract may be
zero-rated, Buyer shall do all such proper acts, deeds and things as are necessary (which may
include, but shall not be limited to, providing Seller all such proper, true and accurate
documentation or assistance as may reasonable be required by the relevant taxing or other
authority or government body) to ensure that such supply is zero-rated for the purposes of
such VAT rules.

2. Where either the Loading Port or the Delivery Port is within the EU, excise duty will
generally be payable when the Product leaves bonded premises at the port unless:

2.1 by the 15th day of the month following the month in which delivery of the Product out of
bonded premises is completed with an Accompanying Administrative Document (“AAD”), a
properly completed Copy 3 thereof, together (except in the case of DAP deliveries) with proof
of unloading/discharge of the Product, is returned to Seller;

2.2 Buyer has provided to Seller evidence satisfactory to the EU state where the Product was
taken out of bonded premises, that the Product was unloaded/discharged in or, in the case of
FIP sales, delivered to a non-EU state either duty paid or into bonded premises;

2.3 Buyer can provide evidence satisfactory to the EU state where the Product was taken out of
bonded premises without an AAD as a result of Buyer’s nomination, that the Product was
unloaded/discharged or, in the case of FIP sales, delivered into bonded premises within the
EU in circumstances where such sales allow for suppression of excise duty; or

2.4 Buyer satisfies another relevant administrative process or requirement which from time to
time may have amended or replaced or been used in substitution for the above.

2.5 Buyer shall do all such proper acts, deeds and things as are necessary and as are outlined
above to ensure that excise duty will not be payable.

- 49 -
2.6 Buyer shall indemnify Seller on an after tax basis against all liability in respect of excise duty
(or equivalent amounts) incurred by Seller, including any related interest, penalties or costs.

3. Imports into the EU under “Preference” from non-EU States

3.1 If the Discharge Port is within the EU and the Loading Port is located outside the EU and in a
State with which there is a preferential agreement between such State and the EU whereby the
Product enjoys a generalised tariff preference, Seller shall provide Buyer with such relevant
original qualifying document(s) specifically requested by Buyer in their voyage nomination
documentation instructions (e.g. EUR1, GSP Form A).

3.2 Buyer or Buyer’s agent or such other party acting on its own behalf shall submit such original
qualifying document(s) to the relevant and local customs authorities, and only if such customs
authorities accept such qualifying document(s) (thereby agreeing that a Generalised Tariff
Preference is valid and import duty is therefore not due on the Product) shall such Product be
deemed to be EU-qualified.

3.3 If the relevant qualifying document(s) is/are not available for presentation to Buyer or its
representative by 1200 hours (London time) on the banking day in New York prior to the
payment due date, or if the customs authorities have not accepted and/or verified such
qualifying document(s) by that time, Buyer shall pay Seller’s invoice in full, without any
deduction or withholding for duty. However, if the relevant qualifying document(s) requested
by Buyer pursuant to Clause 3.1 of this Schedule are not presented to Buyer or its
representative at the Discharge Port at the time of discharge, Seller shall indemnify Buyer in
respect of any duty which is incurred by Buyer (directly or indirectly under a cost recovery
mechanism from the end receiver) as a direct result of Seller’s failure, provided that any
amount requested by Buyer is accompanied by a copy of the customs duty assessment at
Discharge Port.

4. Movements to, from and within EU States

4.1 Exports from EU States

If the Product to be delivered is loaded in an EU State and documented for an export

destination free of excise duty, then the Product shall be exported and shall not re-enter the
EU State unless full excise duty and VAT is paid by Buyer or the Product is placed in a
bonded warehouse that exempts it from import taxes and excise duty (if applicable). Buyer
shall indemnify Seller for all duties, costs and other consequences resulting from any breach
hereof that was incurred by Seller (directly or indirectly under a cost recovery mechanism
from the originating consignor at the Loading Port).

4.2 Movements within EU States, excise duty

4.2.1 If the Product is to be moved within an EU State as unfinished goods (e.g. feedstock, finished
goods for further processing), Seller will ensure that the Product will move Excise Duty
suspended provided that Buyer confirms in writing that the destination is an excise warehouse
and the status of the goods is “unfinished goods” under the applicable Excise Duty law.

4.2.2 If an internal movement is made on a “Duty Paid” basis, Buyer may defer its Excise Duty
liability under any applicable deferment scheme operated by the EU state providing Buyer has
either notified Seller in writing of its excise duty deferment account number and/or obtained
permission to use the end receiver’s excise duty deferment account number. However, if
Buyer and/or end receiver fails to make payment within the deferment period directly, and the
tax obligation on the excise duty payable reverts to the Supplier, Seller will be able to invoke
the cost recovery mechanism under Clause 4.2.3 of this Schedule.

- 50 -
 In addition, Buyer is obliged to pay Seller an amount equivalent to the applicable VAT rate
based upon the excise duty amount deferred, upon receipt of a valid Tax invoice for this
additional amount.

4.2.3 If an internal movement is made on a “Duty Paid” basis, any and all taxes levied on the
Product shall be for Buyer’s account payable in full in either the local currency of the country
in which the tax is payable or, at Seller’s option, in the invoicing currency for the Product,
converted at the appropriate exchange rate prevailing at the date of the tax point under the
applicable excise duty law. Any amount due shall be payable at the same time as payment of
the Shipment Value plus the applicable VAT rate.

5. Movements between EU States

5.1 Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 8 of this Schedule:

5.1.1 Seller, Seller’s agent or some other party acting on its own behalf shall provide Buyer,
Buyer’s agent or some other party acting on its own behalf with the relevant original
document(s) (e.g. an AAD or a T2L) showing that the Product is EU qualified and therefore
in free circulation within the EU and import duty is therefore not due on such Product; and

5.1.2 Buyer, Buyer’s agent or some other party acting on its own behalf shall submit such original
document(s) to the relevant and local customs authorities and only if such customs authorities
accept such document(s) shall the Product be deemed as free from import duty and excise
duty (if applicable); and

5.1.3 if the relevant document(s) is/are not available for presentation to Buyer, Buyer’s agent or
some other party acting on its own behalf by 1200 hours (London time) on the Banking Day
in New York prior to the payment due date, or if the customs authorities have not accepted
and/or verified such document(s) by that time, the provisions of Clause 1.3 of this Schedule
shall apply mutatis mutandis.

5.2 Without prejudice to the provisions of Clause 8 of this Schedule, in order for any delivery of
Product hereunder for transfer/transportation within the EU to be zero intra community
dispatch rated for VAT, Buyer is required to provide Seller, prior to commencement of
loading/transfer, with a written declaration stating “(a) a valid VAT registration number of
Buyer in an EU state other than the EU state in which the Loading Port is located, and that (b)
an Intra Community Acquisition of the Product will be reported in the country of destination”.

6. For exports from Italy

6.1 Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 8 or Clause 5.2 of this Schedule, where the Loading
Port is in Italy and the destination of the cargo is an EU state other than Italy, Buyer shall
provide Seller, prior to transfer of property, with a valid VAT registration number issued by
the EU state in which Discharge Port is located.

6.2 Where Buyer is not VAT registered in the EU state in which the Discharge Port is located or
cannot provide Seller with a valid VAT registration number issued by the EU state in which
the Discharge Port is located, Buyer shall provide Seller with a valid VAT registration
number issued by another EU state, other than Italy. However, where Buyer does not provide
a valid VAT registration number for the EU state in which the Discharge Port is located, and
notwithstanding that Buyer has provided Seller with a valid VAT number issued by another
EU state other than Italy, Seller shall be entitled to invoice Buyer for Italian VAT.

6.3 Payment of such VAT shall be made by the Buyer to Seller in addition to the price per unit
specified in the Trade Confirmation and on the Due Date specified in the Trade Confirmation

- 51 -
 or, if later, within one banking day in New York of presentation of Seller’s tax invoice, in
each case without set-off, withholding, deduction or counterclaim, to Seller’s bank account.
Any outstanding amount shall bear interest in accordance with the provisions of the
Agreement.

7. Compulsory storage

All and any compulsory stock obligations arising out of the delivery to or by barge by Seller
to the Buyer of Product from a Loading Port under the Agreement shall be for Buyer’s
account.

8. Other fiscal documentary requirements

The parties will each comply with any applicable documentary requirement for fiscal
purposes as now exists or comes into effect in the future. A party (a “defaulting party”) that
fails to comply with this obligation shall indemnify the other in respect of any costs or
expenses incurred by that party which would not have been incurred but for the failure of the
defaulting party.

9. Material Safety Data Sheets

9.1 Buyer shall provide its employees, agents, contractors, customers and other persons to whom
it supplies the Product delivered hereunder with either:

(a) a copy of a current MSDS and any other information relating to health, safety and
environmental data in connection with the Product delivered hereunder; or

(b) other comparable information relating to health, safety and environmental data in
connection with the Product delivered hereunder where performance of the obligations under
the Trade Confirmation is outside the EEA (“Other Information”).

9.2 Buyer shall be responsible for any consequences that result from the use of a MSDS or Other
Information.

9.3 Buyer shall provide persons responsible for the management of health, safety and
environment matters within its own organisation with a copy of the MSDS or Other
Information. Buyer shall provide its employees with appropriate information and training to
enable them to handle and use the Product delivered hereunder in a manner which does not
endanger their health or safety.

10. REACH

10.1 Seller and Buyer each agree and undertake to the other that they will comply with those
obligations under REACH which are applicable to the sale of the Product under the
Agreement and its physical introduction into the EEA.

10.2 Seller shall provide the following information (“Substance Identifier”) to Buyer for each
chemical substance contained in or comprising the Product at the relevant time:

(a) a Chemical Abstracts Service (“CAS”) registry number and/or the European Commission
(“EC”) number, which includes European Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances
(“EINECS”), European List of Notified Chemical Substances (“ELINCS”), “no-longer
polymers” list (“NLP”) or any other appropriate identifier number as defined by REACH; or

- 52 -
 (b) if Seller is unable to provide Buyer with any of the information described in Clause
10.2(b) above, then Seller shall provide Buyer with the information necessary for Buyer to
ascertain the CAS or EC number.

Seller shall provide the Substance Identifier to Buyer:

(a) at the time of loading for FOB, CFR, CIF deliveries;

(b) at the time of transfer for Ex Tank, Into Tank, In Situ and FIP deliveries;

(c) by the time the Product reaches the agreed delivery point in the case of DAP deliveries.

10.3 Where Seller is not an Importer (as defined by REACH), nor an EEA manufacturer, and is not
subject to obligations under REACH in respect of the Product sold under the Agreement, the
following shall apply:

(a) in providing Buyer with Substance Identifiers pursuant to its obligations under Clause
10.2 of this Schedule, regardless of their source, it provides no warranty or representation as
to the accuracy or completeness of such Substance Identifiers, and

(b) notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in the Agreement, it accepts no
liability for loss, damage, delay or expense incurred by Buyer for whatever reason arising
from its reliance on the accuracy of the Substance Identifiers provided and the existence of a
valid (pre) registration of the Substances to be imported into the European Economic Area
