2.1Subject to Section 2.3 and Section 3.6 below and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Transaction Documents, the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (without representation, warranty or recourse, whether express or implied) agree that, with effect from (and including) May 24, 2024 or, if later, the date on which all amounts payable in connection with the Renewables Early Termination have been paid in full (such date, the “Renewables Early Termination Date”):

 

(a)the Supply and Offtake Agreement, the Storage and Services Agreement, the Fee Letter, the Independent Amount Letter, the Lien Documents, the Master Agreement, the BWC Storage Rights Agreement and the Center Point Storage Rights Agreement shall immediately be terminated and cease to be in force and effect;

 

(b)each Party will be irrevocably and unconditionally released and discharged from all its present and future obligations, claims and liabilities (both actual and contingent (including, without limitation, guarantee obligations) and whether as primary obligor or guarantor, as surety or in any other capacity whatsoever) under, pursuant to or in connection with the Transaction Documents; and

 

(c)any power of attorney granted by any Party to the other Party under, pursuant to or in connection with any of the Transaction Documents will be irrevocably and unconditionally cancelled, terminated and revoked.

 

2.2In order to give effect to the Renewables Early Termination:

 

(a)solely for the purposes of determining the Daily Permitted Feedstock Sales and the Daily Permitted Renewable Product Sales on the Renewables Early Termination Pricing Date (and all amounts payable in connection therewith) and without double-counting:

 

(i)Daily Permitted Feedstock Sales will be deemed to occur on the Renewables Early Termination Pricing Date in respect of all Macquarie Permitted Feedstock Inventory in situ at each applicable Included Permitted Feedstock Location; and

 

2

 

 

(ii)Daily Renewable Product Sales will be deemed to occur on the Renewables Early Termination Pricing Date in respect of all Macquarie Renewable Product Inventory in situ at each Included Renewable Product Location,

 

in each case, using, for these purposes, the Best Available Inventory Data as of the Renewables Early Termination Pricing Date and accordingly, the Measured Permitted Feedstock Quantity for each Included Permitted Feedstock Location and the Measured Renewable Product Quantity in each Included Renewable Product Tank shall be deemed to be zero on each day from (and including) the Renewables Early Termination Pricing Date to (and including) the Renewables Early Termination Date;

 

(b)notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Supply and Offtake Agreement:

 

(i)the price used to determine the amount payable in connection with each Daily Permitted Feedstock Sale and each Daily Renewable Product Sale shall be the Current Month Pricing Benchmark for the applicable Pricing Group as of the Renewables Early Termination Pricing Date;

 

(ii)no Permitted Feedstock Monthly Handling Fee will be owed in respect of the sales contemplated by Section 2.2(a) above and this Section 2.2(b);

 

(iii)the date that would (but for this sub-paragraph (iii)) have been the Monthly Determination Date immediately following the Renewables Early Termination Pricing Date shall be accelerated to the Renewables Early Termination Pricing Date and for the purposes of performing all calculations required to be performed as of that deemed Monthly Determination Date (including, without limitation, the Monthly True-Up Amount), the Delivery Month shall be deemed to end on (and include) the Renewables Early Termination Pricing Date and for purposes of such calculations, any fee, cost or expense ordinarily calculated on a monthly basis without regard to days elapsed will be pro-rated to reflect the number of days in such deemed Delivery Month, calculated on the basis of a 30-day month; and

 

(iv)Macquarie shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (x) notify the Company by e-mail of all amounts payable in connection with the Daily Permitted Feedstock Sales, the Daily Renewable Product Sales, the Monthly True-Up Amount and all other amounts payable in connection with the Renewables Early Termination (the net amount being, the “Renewables Early Termination Amount”) by no later than the end of the Renewables Early Termination Pricing Date; and (y) deliver an invoice to the Company in respect of the Renewables Early Termination Amount (or, to the extent that the Renewables Early Termination Amount is payable by Macquarie, self invoice) by no later than 10 a.m. (CT) on the date falling one (1) Business Day after the Renewables Early Termination Pricing Date, and, in each case, Macquarie shall include a breakdown of the relevant calculation(s) by Pricing Group; and

 

(v)the Renewables Early Termination Amount shall become due and payable on the later of (x) the date falling one (1) Business Day after the Renewables Early Termination Pricing Date; and (y) the date on which Macquarie has delivered an invoice to the Company (or, if the Renewables Early Termination Amount is payable by Macquarie, submitted a self-invoice) in respect of the Renewables Early Termination Amount (such date being, the “Renewables Early Termination Payment Date”) and the provisions of Section 12.5 (Payment Netting) of the Supply and Offtake Agreement shall apply; and

 

(c)on the Renewables Early Termination Payment Date, Macquarie shall either pay to the Company, or apply towards satisfaction of all amounts due and payable by the Company on such date, an amount equal to the balance of the Independent Amount held by Macquarie as of the Renewables Early Termination Payment Date.

 

2.3Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the contrary in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, Macquarie shall retain title to any Permitted Feedstock or Renewable Product held in an Included Storage Location on and after the Renewables Early Termination Pricing Date until the Renewables Early Termination Date has occurred. Macquarie shall be deemed to certify, for the

 

3

 

 

 purposes of the Storage and Services Agreement and the Storage Rights Agreement, either (x) if the Renewables Early Termination Amount is payable by Macquarie, on the Renewables Early Termination Payment Date; or (y) if the Renewables Early Termination Amount is payable by the Company, upon receipt by Macquarie of such Renewables Early Termination Amount, that there is no Permitted Feedstock or Renewable Product to which Macquarie has title within the Facilities (as defined in the Storage and Services Agreement) or the Storage Facilities (as defined in the Storage Rights Agreement).

3.1As soon as reasonably practicable following the entry into of this Agreement, Macquarie and the Company shall deliver a notice to Idemitsu in writing (in substantially the form appended to this Agreement as Schedule 1 (Form of Notice to Idemitsu)) and in accordance with the terms of the Idemtisu Tripartite Agreement, notifying Idemitsu that Macquarie and the Company (a) have agreed to terminate the Supply and Offtake Agreement with effect from (and including) the Renewables Early Termination Date; and (b) are exercising their right pursuant to section 6.1(c) of the Idemitsu Tripartite Agreement to terminate the Idemitsu Tripartite Agreement with effect from (and including) the Renewables Early Termination Date.

(b)pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, Macquarie shall agree and acknowledge that the Discharge of Renewables Intermediation Facility Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) has occurred, and therefore Macquarie (in its capacity as Renewables Intermediation Facility Representative) shall notify the other Representatives (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) that the Renewables Early Termination Date has occurred; and

 

4

 

 

(c)the Company hereby authorizes Macquarie (or its designee) to file the UCC-3 termination statement(s) with respect to the UCC-1 financing statement(s) filed in favor of Macquarie evidencing such Liens, provided that the Company and its advisors shall have a reasonable opportunity to review such UCC-3 termination statement(s) prior to filing.
