2.Marathon Daily Butane Value (“MDBV”): the daily agreed upon Marathon butane purchase price (“MBPP”) from supplier, plus the total daily RIN value (“DRV”), multiplied by the daily total number of butane Gallons blended (“GB”). Expressed as a formula:
MDBV = (GB) * (MBPP + DRV + TC)
a.TC is the transportation costs of transporting one Gallon of butane (in the most cost-effective manner) to a terminal blending location.
b.DRV will be determined by using the percentage of each type of RINs specified by the Renewable Fuel Standard Program updated annually or the most recent requirements and will be adjusted retroactively for any difference between the requirements at the time of the calculation and the requirements contained in a final rule establishing Renewable Volume Obligations for the year. OPIS daily posting
for the respective RINs pricing will be used. In order to minimize the daily average RINs Cost, postings for the prior year’s RINs will be used up to the maximum allowable percentage.
3.Marathon Daily Pentane Value (“MDPV”): the daily agreed upon Marathon pentane purchase price (“MPPP”) from supplier, plus the total daily RIN value (“DRV”), multiplied by the daily total number of butane Gallons blended (“GB”). Expressed as a formula:
MDPV = (GB) * (MPPP + DRV + TC)
a.TC is the transportation costs of transporting one Gallon of pentane (in the most cost-effective manner) to a terminal blending location.
b.DRV will be determined by using the percentage of each type of RINs specified by the Renewable Fuel Standard Program updated annually or the most recent requirements and will be adjusted retroactively for any difference between the requirements at the time of the calculation and the requirements contained in a final rule establishing Renewable Volume Obligations for the year. OPIS daily posting for the respective RINs pricing will be used. In order to minimize the daily average RINs Cost, postings for the prior year’s RINs will be used up to the maximum allowable percentage.
D) Butane Blending into Natural Gasoline at Facilities Without Third Party Licensed Blending Technology
a. Butane Blending into Natural Gasoline Project Service Fee: Prior to MPC requesting Terminal Owner to provide natural gasoline blending services at a Terminal that does not have butane blending into natural gasoline service capabilities, MPC will pay a one-time fee to Terminal Owner as reimbursement for the project capital costs to be incurred by a Terminal to enable such Terminal to provide butane blending into natural gasoline services, as well as an additional charge of 15% of such project capital costs. Prior to any Terminal incurring any project capital costs to be able to provide butane blending into natural gasoline services for MPC, the Parties will agree upon the Butane Blending into Natural Gasoline Project Services Fee for each Terminal providing such services.
b. Butane Blending into Natural Gasoline Services Fee: From and after August 20th, 2019 at any Terminal with no third-party licensed blending technology utilized, Terminal Owner’s fee for performing butane blending into natural gasoline services shall be calculated as follows, expressed as a formula:
Natural Gas Blending Services Fee = $1.58 * the number of barrels of butane blended into natural gasoline
Ethanol Denaturing
$0.02 per Gallon of undenatured ethanol.
Unit Train Ethanol Receipts
Beginning on January 15, 2017 and continuing thereafter for so long as the Master Terminal Services Agreement by and between MPC and ECO Energy Distribution Services, LLC dated October 19, 2015 (the "ECO Agreement") has not terminated, been cancelled or otherwise expired pursuant to its terms or agreement of the parties thereto, each of the following shall apply:
1. MPC shall pay Terminal Owner $0.0135 per Gallon for Unit Train Ethanol Receipts; provided that the invoice for the month ending March 31 of each year (or upon termination of the ECO Agreement, prorated according to the time of such termination) shall include an additional fee of $0.0135 per Gallon of Unit Train Ethanol Receipts that are less than 86,000,000 Gallons for the 12-month period ending on March 31 of the same year (prorated for the time period between January 15, 2017 through March 31, 2017. The $0.0135 per Gallon fee set forth in this Section shall be adjusted at the time of and in an amount equal to any adjustment to the Throughput Fees (as defined in the ECO Agreement) pursuant to Section 6.l(b) of the ECO Agreement, as may be amended from time to time.
At the end of each Calendar Quarter, Terminal Owner shall credit MPC on the monthly invoice (or upon termination of the ECO Agreement, prorated according to the time of such termination) an amount equal to the sum of (a) the Base Throughput Fee for Selma (Buffalo) set forth in Schedule 5.1 (as adjusted) multiplied by the volume (in Gallons) of ethanol redelivered by truck from the Selma (Buffalo) Terminal to the Selma (West Oak) Terminals during such Calendar Quarter; and (b) the Base Throughput Fee for Selma (Buffalo) set forth in Schedule 5.1 (as adjusted) multiplied by the volume (in Gallons) of ethanol redelivered per MPC's direction from the Selma (Buffalo) Terminal into trucks for ECO during such Calendar Quarter.
Ethanol Excess Volume Value Capture
MPC will pay Terminal Owner fees as calculated herein for EV at Terminals where sales volume is made on a temperature corrected basis.
The value will be calculated via the following method: Multiply the volume by the price per the calculations described in the following two paragraphs.
The volume will be calculated via the following method: The American Petroleum Institute’s Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards Chapter 11.3.4 “Miscellaneous Hydrocarbon Properties – Denatured Ethanol and Gasoline Blend Densities and Volume Correction Factors” (“Chapter 11.3.4”) provides data-based equations for Blends of Gasoline and Ethanol (“BGE”). Chapter 11.3.4 addresses excess volumes of gasohol (“EV”) created when gasoline and ethanol components are blended together. EV for truck rack throughput at Terminals equipped with Terminal Automation Software (TAS) will be calculated using the equation in Chapter
11.3.4 performed by TAS for any BGE. The TAS will be programmed to calculate EV by multiplying these BGE volumes by the correction factors as calculated using the equation from Chapter 11.3.4. This process of crediting Terminal Owner with the EV based on the technology Terminal Owner installed and maintains at its Terminals is known as “Ethanol Excess Volume Value Capture.”
The price will be calculated via the following method: Each Terminal is assigned to the CHICAGO (Midwest-designated as ‘MW’) or US GULF COAST (Southeast-designated as ‘SE’) region based on Schedule 3.1. EV credited to Terminal Owner will be valued using the non-weighted monthly average ARGUS 85 Assessment MID CBOB price for given market based on the location of the Terminal. The Midwest (‘MW’) will be using West Shore and Gulf Coast (‘SE’) will be using Pasadena posted pricing.
