Delaware City West Ladder Rack Terminaling Services Agreement

On October 1, 2014, PBF Holding and DCT II entered into a seven year terminaling services agreement (the “West Ladder Rack Terminaling Agreement”) under which the Partnership, through DCT II, will provide rail terminaling services to PBF Holding. The agreement can be extended by PBF Holding for two additional five year periods. Under the West Ladder Rack Terminaling Agreement, PBF Holding will be obligated to throughput aggregate volumes on the Partnership’s West Rack Assets as follows:
The minimum throughput commitment will be 40,000 barrels per day (“bpd”) for a fee equal to $2.20 per barrel for all volumes of crude oil throughput up to the minimum throughput commitment and $1.50 per barrel for all volumes of crude oil throughput in excess of the minimum throughput commitment, in any contract quarter.
The Partnership is required to maintain the capabilities of its West Rack Assets such that PBF Holding may throughput at least 40,000 bpd of crude oil on the West Rack Assets. To the extent that (i) PBF Holding is prevented from throughputting at least such volumes (on a quarterly average basis) for more than seven days per quarter as a result of the Partnership’s failure to maintain capacities, then PBF Holding’s aggregate throughput commitments for the West Rack Assets will be reduced proportionately to the extent of the difference between such aggregate minimum throughput capacity and the actual available aggregate throughput capacity, prorated for the portion of the quarter during which throughput capacity was unavailable.
The foregoing description is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the West Ladder Rack Terminaling Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
