Operating Leases

In June 2018, we executed a 24-month lease agreement for our corporate headquarters office space with a lease commencement date of September 24, 2018. Annual lease payments under this agreement, net of rent abatements and rent credits, are zero,  $0.7 million and $0.9 million in 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time the Company may be subject to various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2018, management is not aware of any claims or legal actions that, separately or in the aggregate, are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, although the Company cannot guarantee that a material adverse event may not occur.

Other

In April 2018, we entered into an agreement with an intrastate pipeline company with assets near our Terminal which incentivizes the pipeline company to procure, permit and install a valve on an intrastate pipeline near our Terminal.  We agreed that, upon the later of (i) March 31, 2019 and (ii) thirty days after the valve has been installed, we will reimburse the pipeline company a cash amount equal to 50% of the costs incurred in connection with the valve, up to a maximum payment by us not to exceed $2 million.

During the third quarter of 2018, we conducted a competitive engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) bid process.  In connection with the EPC bid process, we entered into agreements with potential EPC contractors that provide for payments to be made by us to the EPC contractors as bid milestones are achieved (“Invitation to bid contract costs”).  As of September 30, 2018, we have incurred approximately $4.4 million of Invitation to bid contract costs.  Future potential payments for Invitation to bid contract costs are up to $2.1 million in 2018 and up to $14.9 million in 2019.
