(90) days' prior written notice of any proposed new transportation services agreement with a Third Party,

by MPC provided that the Equipment is always safely afloat. MPC shall provide the Equipment

3.3Additional Transportation Service. If MPC requests in writing to HSM a transportation service not covered
by the Transportation Services being provided pursuant to this Agreement as of the date of the request, and
HSM agrees to provide such service, then the Parties will negotiate in good faith an amendment to Exhibit B
or Exhibit G, as applicable, to include the additional transportation service (each such service an
"Additional Transportation Service"), the terms and conditions for the provision of each Additional
Transportation Service and the Monthly Payment payable to MPC for each Additional Transportation
Service, such Monthly Payment to be determined with the intent that it reflects an arm's length standard.

3.6Force Majeure.
(a)As soon as possible following the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, HSM will provide MPC
with written notice of the occurrence of such Force Majeure Event (a "Force Majeure Notice").
Concurrent with that notice or as soon as possible thereafter, HSM will give MPC a full
description of the Force Majeure Event and the approximate length of time that HSM reasonably
believes such Force Majeure Event will continue (the "Force Majeure Period"). Each Party
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or overcome the effects of a Force Majeure
Event as soon as possible; provided, however, that neither Party shall be required to settle any
strike, walkout, lockout or other labor dispute on terms which, in the reasonable judgment of the
affected Party, are contrary to its interest. It is understood that the settlement of a strike, walkout,
lockout or other labor dispute will be entirely within the discretion of the affected Party.
(b)If HSM notifies MPC that it reasonably believes that the Force Majeure Period will continue for

the Force Majeure Period ends prior to the expiration of such twelve (12) month period.
(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if MPC delivers a Termination Notice to HSM (the "MPC
Termination Notice") and, within thirty (30) days after receiving such MPC Termination Notice,
HSM notifies MPC that HSM reasonably believes that it will be capable of fully performing its
obligations under this Agreement within thirty (30) calendar days, then the MPC Termination
Notice shall be deemed revoked and the applicable portions of this Agreement shall continue in
full force and effect as if such MPC Termination Notice had never been given.
3.7Material Safety Data Sheets. MPC has provided HSM with the current Material Safety Data Sheet or
Safety Data Sheet ("SDS") for each Product to be transported by HSM. MPC shall not be required to
provide a SDS at each load. In the event that a new SDS becomes available for a particular Product, MPC
shall promptly notify HSM and promptly provide the new SDS to HSM. HSM acknowledges that lethal
levels of hydrogen sulfide gas and/or other petroleum, chemical or related product fumes, such as benzene,
may be present in the vapor space within storage tanks and other compartments that contain asphalt and
other heavy oil cargoes or certain other petroleum, chemical, or related products, such as benzene or coal
tar light oil. In areas adjacent to or in close proximity to areas where such tanks and compartments vent,
precautions must be taken against inhalation of hydrogen sulfide gas and/or other chemical fumes. Odor is
not a reliable means of hydrogen sulfide gas or chemical fume detection. Consultation of the SDS for
product and other descriptions and the rules and regulations of the Occupational Safety & Health
Administration for protective measures is the responsibility of HSM. HSM acknowledges that it will
provide warnings and safe handling information about hydrogen sulfide gas and other applicable chemical
fumes to HSM's employees, agents, contractors and invitees, and will require them to further communicate
the warnings and information to all persons that they reasonably foresee may be exposed to or handle any
Cargo that may contain hydrogen sulfide gas or other chemical fumes. HSM further acknowledges that it is
responsible for determining, implementing, and ensuring compliance with work procedures to provide
adequate precautions against hydrogen sulfide gas and other applicable chemical fumes exposure by
HSM's employees, agents, contractors and invitees.
3.8No Partnership. This Agreement shall not be interpreted or construed to create an association, partnership,
joint venture, employment or fiduciary relationship or similar relationship between HSM and MPC. Except
as explicitly set forth in this Agreement, neither Party shall have any right, power or authority to enter into
any agreement or undertaking for, act on behalf of, act or be an agent or representative of, or otherwise
bind, the other Party. HSM shall act as an independent contractor in the performance of its duties
hereunder.
3.9Title; Risk of Loss.  Notwithstanding the simple negligence, gross negligence or willful actions of HSM,
and subject to Section 5.8, risk of loss or damage to Cargoes will at all times remain with MPC. Further, as

(i)any applicable motor fuel excise tax or similar taxes or fees incurred by MPC, which are
chargeable to HSM as a user of such fuel; and
(ii)any reasonable costs incurred by MPC not covered under this Section 4.4, or elsewhere in
this Agreement, that are related to HSM providing Transportation Services.
(c)For expenses incurred under this Section 4.4(a), HSM and MPC agree that third parties may
directly invoice MPC and MPC shall be responsible for prompt payment of any such invoice.
4.5
4.6Outchartering of Equipment. If for a given period of time, MPC has no need for any item of Equipment, or if
HSM is unable to access an item of Equipment for service to MPC due to a Force Majeure Event, MPC or
HSM may so notify the other (as applicable), and HSM may employ such item of Equipment in other service
("Outcharter"). If HSM locates an Outcharter for such item of Equipment, HSM shall provide notice to
MPC. If the Outcharter day rate earned is less than or equal to the relevant Day Rate under this Agreement,
then HSM will credit MPC for 100% of the amount received from the Outcharter. If the Outcharter day rate
earned is greater than the Day Rate of this Agreement, HSM will credit MPC for 100% of the Day Rate of
this Agreement. HSM shall ensure that no Outcharter interferes with HSM's obligations to MPC under
paragraph 3.l(a) herein.
4.7Taxes. To the extent required by Applicable Law, HSM shall add to any Monthly Payment due under this
Agreement amounts equal to any applicable sales, use or similar taxes, however, designated or levied,
based upon the provision of the Transportation Services performed hereunder and such taxes shall be
separately stated on the invoice. HSM is solely responsible for the collection and remittance of any such
taxes to the appropriate tax authorities. The Parties will cooperate with each other to minimize any such
taxes to the extent reasonably practicable. If additional taxes are determined to be due with respect to the
Transportation Services provided hereunder as a result of (a) an audit by any applicable tax authority,
or (b) a new or change in Applicable Law, then MPC shall reimburse HSM for the additional taxes due
from HSM. MPC has the right to contest with the tax authority, at MPC's sole expense, the amount of any
taxes or the result of any audit. HSM is responsible for any penalty or interest resulting from its failure to
remit any invoiced taxes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 4.6
will, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws, survive the termination of this Agreement and
remain in effect until the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations. In the event of a tax audit, the
Parties agree to cooperate, timely share information in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner
as permitted under Applicable Laws.
ARTICLE 5 - AVAILABILITY OF EQUIPMENT
5.1Disruption of Transportation Services. HSM shall promptly notify MPC of any anticipated partial or
complete disruption of a Transportation Service, other than a disruption due to a Force Majeure Event
(notice of which shall be given in accordance with Section 3.6(a)), that is reasonably expected to extend for
more than twenty-four (24) hours, including relevant information about the nature, extent, cause and
expected duration of the disruption and the actions HSM is taking to resume full operations; provided,
however, that HSM shall not have any liability for any failure to notify, or delay in notifying, MPC of
any such matters except to the extent MPC has been materially damaged by such failure or delay. HSM
shall provide MPC with at least ninety (90) days' notice of any planned maintenance or repair activity on
the Equipment that HSM determines will significantly reduce the Transportation Services.
5.2Acceptance of Cargo. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and to disruptions for routine testing,
inspection, repair and maintenance consistent with industry standards; scheduling requirements; and any
requirements of Applicable Law; HSM shall accept for shipment all Cargo that meets applicable industry
standard quality specifications. HSM may, without prejudice to any other remedy available to HSM, reject
and return to MPC any Product that does not conform to such specifications, even after delivery to HSM.
5.3Mechanical Availability of Equipment.
(a)Mechanical Availability Calculation. Promptly after the end of each Mechanical Availability
Calculation Period and the Final Mechanical Availability Calculation Period, HSM shall calculate
the Mechanical Availability individually for the Towboat Group and the Barge Group pursuant to
Exhibits E and F.
(b)Mechanical Availability Credit. If the Mechanical Availability of the Towboat Group or Barge
Group is below ninety-five percent (95%) for a Mechanical Availability Calculation Period, then
MPC will receive a “Credit calculated pursuant to Exhibits E and F. The Credit, if any, shall be
offset against the Monthly Payment due to HSM in the month immediately following the month
of the Mechanical Availability Calculation Period.
5.4Restoring Transportation Services. HSM shall make such repairs and take such reasonable actions as are
necessary to restore any disruption to those Transportation Services described in Section 3.1(a)(i). All such
restoration shall be at HSM's cost and expense unless the damage or event was caused by MPC or MPC's
employees, Affiliates, representatives, agents or customers. If for any reason, other than a disruption due to
Force Majeure, HSM fails to provide at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the requested Transportation
Services described in Section 3.1(a)(i) and the agreed Additional Transportation Services for a period of
thirty (30) consecutive days, then either Party has the right to call a meeting between executives of both
Parties by providing at least two (2) business days' prior written notice.
5.5No Demise and No Control by MPC. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating a demise of
the Equipment to MPC or as vesting MPC with any control over the physical operation or navigation of
the Equipment. HSM shall control and direct all tankermen provided by HSM. As between HSM and
MPC, all such tankermen shall be deemed for all purposes not to be an employee of MPC.
5.6Inspection/Vetting. Upon reasonable advance notice to HSM, MPC may inspect the Equipment at a
loading or discharging berth, or other location which will not substantially interfere with the operation of
the Equipment, and may, at HSM's offices, review HSM's safety, environmental protection, and
maintenance programs and procedures. If MPC determines, based on such inspection or review, that a
material, unsatisfactory safety or operational condition exists, then MPC may provide HSM with written
notice of such condition and the basis for MPC's determination of the same. If HSM agrees with MPC's
determination, then HSM shall provide a written explanation of its cure, including the estimated time to
cure. If HSM reasonably disagrees with MPC's determination, then HSM shall provide MPC with written
notice of its disagreement and the basis therefor, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such
disagreement. HSM shall afford all necessary cooperation and accommodation; provided, however, that
neither the exercise nor the non-exercise by MPC of such right shall in any way reduce HSM's authority
over, and responsibility for, the Equipment and every aspect of its operation, nor increase MPC's
responsibilities to HSM or Third Parties for the same, and shall not be construed as an assumption by MPC
of responsibility for the safety of the vessel and its crew or for liability to Third Parties.
5.7Cargo Transfer. Before and after any Cargo transfer, HSM shall inspect moorings, hoses and
appurtenances. HSM shall be responsible for handling, inspecting, bleeding, attaching and detaching all
hoses and lines from the shore connection to the Equipment in a safe and prudent manner. During Cargo
transfer, HSM shall continuously monitor flow rate, connections, and barge tank levels. HSM shall
measure and legibly document barge compartment levels both before and after Cargo transfer. MPC shall
pump Cargo into the Cargo tanks of the Equipment at MPC's expense, and HSM shall pump Cargo out of
the Cargo tanks at MPC's expense. The Cargo will be safely loaded and discharged at such rates, pressures
and temperatures required by design of the Equipment, or the receiving terminal, as appropriate, and/or
good operating practice with respect to such Equipment, or the receiving terminal, as appropriate.
5.8Loss in Transit. HSM shall reimburse MPC for in transit loss of Cargo in excess of one-half percent (0.5%)
by volume, or such other percentage as the Parties may agree in writing shall apply to certain Products ("In
Transit Loss Allowance"). HSM shall not be liable for any such loss unless (a) the cause for the loss in
transit is unknown, (b) MPC or MPC's agent provides written notice of such loss to HSM within thirty
(30) days of unloading the relevant Cargo and
(a)a comparison of Equipment ullage figures at loading port and at discharge port, as measured by a
Third-Party inspector, which shall be mutually agreed to by both MPC and HSM, establishes that
a volume loss in excess of the In Transit Loss Allowance has actually occurred in transit. The
amount payable by HSM to MPC for any such in-transit loss shall be an amount equal to (x) the
volume loss in excess of the In Transit Loss Allowance, multiplied by (y) the per unit spot value
of the relevant product using an appropriate industry market index for the delivery location
reference market.
5.9Audit. HSM shall retain all records and accounts related to the Transportation Services provided herein
for at least three (3) years from the completion date of any Transportation Service. HSM shall permit
MPC access at reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice, but not more often than once in any
calendar year, to review and audit all records and accounts relating to the Transportation Services provided
under this Agreement at MPC's sole cost and expense. Any audit of a particular calendar year must
commence during the one (1) year period (or such longer period as the Parties may agree) following the
end of such year.

responsible for indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 7.2 for any cause of action arising from the
actions, inactions, admissions, or omissions of any personnel provided or caused to be provided to HSM
pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Employee Services Agreement, provided the Second

MPC is responsible for indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 7.2 for any cause of action arising
from the grossly negligent or willful actions, inactions, admissions, or omissions of any personnel provided
or caused to be provided to HSM pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Employee Services
Agreement, provided the Second Amended and Restated Employee Services Agreement is still in effect at
the time the cause of action arose.
7.4Limitations and Liability.
(a)Each Party has a duty to mitigate any loss sustained under this Agreement.
(b)IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING LOSS OF REVENUES OR PROFITS, LOSS
OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL AND LOSS OF CAPITAL, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH
PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), EXEMPLARY
OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR THE LIKE (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH
DAMAGES ARE PAID TO A THIRD PARTY AS A RESULT OF A THIRD PARTY CLAIM)
ARISING UNDER ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY OR ARISING UNDER OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT (OR THE PROVISION OF SERVICES
HEREUNDER), ALL OF WHICH ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED BY AGREEMENT OF THE
PARTIES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT EITHER PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THESE
LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL
PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.
7.5Indemnification Procedures.
(a)Within a reasonable period of time after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim for
indemnification under this Article 7, the Indemnified Party will provide notice thereof in writing
to the Indemnifying Party, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim to the extent
then known by the Indemnified Party.
(b)The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control all aspects of the defense of (and any
counterclaims with respect to) any claims brought against the Indemnified Party that are covered
by the indemnification under this Article 7, including the selection of counsel, determination of
whether to appeal any decision of any court and the settling of any such claim or any matter or
any issues relating thereto; provided, however, that no settlement involving the payment of money
shall be entered into without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party unless it includes
a full release of the Indemnified Party from such claim; and provided further, that no settlement
containing any form of injunctive or similar relief shall be entered into without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or
withheld.
(c)The Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner
with the Indemnifying Party with respect to all aspects of the defense of and pursuit of any
counterclaims with respect to any claims covered by the indemnification under this Article 7,
including the prompt furnishing to the Indemnifying Party of any correspondence or other notice
relating thereto that the Indemnified Party may receive, permitting the name of the Indemnified
Party to be utilized in connection with such defense and counterclaims, the making available to the
Indemnifying Party of any files, records or other information of the Indemnified Party that the
Indemnifying Party reasonably considers relevant to such defense and counterclaims, the making
available to the Indemnifying Party of any employees of the Indemnified Party and the granting to
the Indemnifying Party of reasonable access rights to the properties and facilities of the Indemnified
Party; provided, however, that in connection therewith the Indemnifying Party agrees to use
reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the Indemnified Party and
further agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records, and other information furnished
by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 7.5. The obligation of the Indemnified Party to
cooperate with the Indemnifying Party as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall not
be construed as imposing upon the Indemnified Party an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in
connection with the defense of and pursuit of any counterclaims with respect to any claims covered
by the indemnification set forth in this Article 7; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party
may, at its own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection with any such
defense and counterclaims. The Indemnifying Party agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the
Indemnified Party informed as to the status of any such defense, but the Indemnifying Party shall
have the right to retain sole control over such defense and counterclaims.
(d)In determining the amount of any loss, cost, damage or expense for which the Indemnified Party is
entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the gross amount of the indemnification will be
reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds realized by the Indemnified Party, and (ii) all amounts
recovered by the Indemnified Party under contractual indemnities from Third Parties.
(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereunder, no cause of action, dispute or claim for
indemnification may be asserted against any Party or submitted to arbitration or legal proceedings
which accrued more than two (2) years after the later of (i) the occurrence of the act or event
giving rise to the underlying cause of action, dispute or claim and (ii) the date on which such act or
event was, or should have been, in the exercise of reasonable due diligence, discovered by the
Indemnified Party.
7.6Assumption of Risk. HSM acknowledges that environmental, health, and safety conditions, the existence
of hazardous materials (including Cargo that may contain hydrogen sulfide gas and/or other petroleum,
chemical or related product fumes), interaction with Third Party vessels and personnel, and other hazards,
commonly exist at MPC's work sites. Further, HSM acknowledges that its use of, and presence on,
waterways, public property and Third-Party property are beyond the control of MPC. HSM thus assumes
the ordinary risks associated with the performance of the Transportation Services contemplated herein.
ARTICLE 8 - INSURANCE
8.1Corporate Group Insurance. Without limiting the scope of any of HSM's obligations or liabilities under
this Agreement, MPC shall cause its affiliate Marathon Petroleum Corporation ("Marathon") to procure
and maintain, in HSM's name and at HSM's sole cost and expense, and keep in effect during the Term, the
following insurances within Marathon's corporate wide policies with insurance companies designated by
AM. Best Company with a rating of A- or better.:
(a)Workers’ Compensation and U.S. Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act Insurance
sufficient to comply fully with requirements and coverages specified by all Applicable Laws
covering any employees of HSM performing the Transportation Services and require any third
party who may provide personnel performing the Transportation Services provided or caused to be
provided to HSM pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Employee Services Agreement to
procure applicable insurance coverage.
(b)Marine General Liability Insurance with contractual liability coverage for HSM's indemnity
obligations under this Agreement, and combined single limits of at least $2,000,000 per
occurrence.
(c)Excess Coverage in the amount necessary to achieve insurance liability limits of $10,000,000 in
total for all insurable risks with such limits to be achieved through any combination of above
primary and excess coverages.
(d)Hull and Machinery, Increased Value, and War Risks policies (which shall include collision
liability and tower’s liability) covering up to one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the
agreed hull value of HSM’s fleet of towboats and barges.
(e)Pollution Insurance in an amount equal to the maximum carried by HSM, but never less than the
amount necessary to comply with the minimum financial responsibility requirements established
by any Applicable Law, or $100,000,000, whichever is greater.
(f)Protection and Indemnity Insurance standard for the industry, including contractual liability
coverage and sistership clause unamended, endorsed specifically to include (a) collision liability,
(b) in rem claims, stating that such actions shall be treated as a claim against the insured in
personam and (c) full crew coverage including wages, maintenance and cure, with a limit of at
least $2,000,000 per occurrence.
8.2Certificates.  Prior to the performance of Transportation Services hereunder and upon request from HSM,
MPC shall furnish to HSM certificates for the insurances identified in Section 8.1, in each case showing (a)
all insurance coverages and endorsements required by this Agreement and (b) a statement from the relevant
insurance provider that the insurance will not be materially changed, canceled, or permitted to expire
without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to HSM.  Upon request from HSM, MPC shall provide
supplements and amendments to such certificates to demonstrate that the insurance identified in Section
8.1 and the related endorsements remain in effect. HSM’s acceptance of an insurance certificate that does
not comply with this Agreement does not waive any requirement of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, MPC shall have the option to, and may elect to maintain self-insurance having retentions
sufficient to satisfy potential liabilities arising hereunder, in full satisfaction of the above Insurance
requirements.
8.3Coverage by Third Parties. In the event HSM utilizes one or more Third Parties in the performance of its
fleeting, tankermen or cleaning and repair facility services hereunder, HSM shall ensure that such Third
Parties maintain insurance coverage of the types and amounts herein established that are applicable to the
services to be provided by such Third Parties. Upon request from MPC, HSM shall provide to MPC, prior
to the use of any such services, certificates of insurance evidencing such coverage.
ARTICLE 9 - VESSEL VETTING AND VESSEL RESPONSE PLAN
9.1Pollution. HSM shall comply with the Marathon Petroleum Vetting Policy and shall maintain and
implement a Vessel Response Plan ("Plan") for the prevention and removal of pollution from water and
natural resources, as required by any Applicable Law. Such Plan shall include appropriate response
contractors to comply with Applicable Law. In the event of an unintentional discharge or significant threat
of an unintentional discharge of Cargo transported under this Agreement, HSM shall promptly implement
its Plan and undertake all such measures as may be reasonably necessary to prevent or mitigate pollution
damage and perform all appropriate mitigation, regulatory notifications, and response. Additionally, HSM
shall promptly notify MPC of any such unintentional discharge of Cargo. In the event an unintentional
discharge of Cargo transported under this Agreement occurs, MPC may, at its option, but without
obligation, and upon written notice to HSM, undertake such measures as are reasonably necessary to
prevent or mitigate pollution damage resulting from such discharge. MPC shall keep HSM advised in
advance in writing of the nature of the measures intended to be taken by it. Any of the aforementioned
measures actually taken by MPC will be at HSM's expense except to the extent that such discharge was
caused by MPC, in which case such measures shall be for MPC's expense. HSM agrees that it will not raise
or plead as a defense to a claim for reimbursement by MPC that in undertaking or performing such
measures, MPC acted as a volunteer and any such defense of "volunteer" is hereby waived by HSM. These
provisions are not in derogation of any other right MPC or HSM may have under this Agreement or
otherwise have or acquired under Applicable Law.
ARTICLE 10 - ASSIGNMENT
10.1Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their
permitted successors and assigns; provided, however, that neither Party may assign its rights or obligations
under this Agreement without prior written consent from an Authorized Representative of the other Party,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided further, however, that
either Party may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a successor in interest resulting
from any merger, reorganization, consolidation or as part of a sale of all or substantially all of its assets.
Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each Party and its successors
and permitted assigns.

this Agreement by a Party (each an "Event of Default"):
(a)failure to pay any undisputed amount due and payable to the other Party under this Agreement

York, without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof to the extent such principles or
rules would require or permit the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
(b)Mediation. If the Parties cannot resolve any Dispute or claim arising under this Agreement, then
no earlier than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days following written notice to the other
Party, either Party may initiate mandatory, non-binding mediation hereunder by giving a notice
of mediation (a "Mediation Notice") to the other Party. In connection with any mediation
pursuant to this Section 12.1(b), the mediator shall be jointly appointed by the Parties and the
mediation shall be conducted in Findlay, Ohio unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. All costs
and expenses of the mediator appointed pursuant to this section shall be shared equally by the

shall be represented by one or more senior representatives who shall have authority to resolve any
Disputes. If a Dispute has not been resolved within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the
Mediation Notice by a Party, then any Party may refer the resolution of the Dispute to any federal
or state court located in Ohio in accordance with Section 12.1(c).
(c)Litigation.  Each Party agrees that it shall bring any action or proceeding in respect of any Dispute

State of Ohio for any purpose except as provided herein and shall not be deemed to confer rights
on any Person other than the Parties
12.2Waiver. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be
extended, by the Party entitled to the benefit thereof. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently
given for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any Party, it is in writing signed by an Authorized
Representative of such Party. The failure of any Party to enforce at any time any provision of this
Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, or in any way to affect the validity of
this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any Party thereafter to enforce each and every such
provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or
subsequent breach. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement precludes
any simultaneous or subsequent exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
12.3Cumulative Remedies. The rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement are not exclusive of, but are
cumulative to, any rights or remedies now or subsequently existing at law, in equity or by statute.

respective successors and permitted assigns and shall not confer upon any Third Party any remedy, claim,
liability, reimbursement or other right. Notwithstanding Article 7, the Parties may rescind or vary this
Agreement, in whole or in part, without the consent of any Third Party, and no Third Party shall be entitled
to assign any benefit or right conferred upon it under this Agreement.

(d)If a Party receives a subpoena or other demand for disclosure of Confidential Information received
from any other Party or must disclose to a Governmental Authority any Confidential Information
received from such other Party in order to obtain or maintain any required governmental approval,
the receiving Party shall, to the extent legally permissible, provide notice to the providing Party
before disclosing such Confidential Information. Upon receipt of such notice, the providing Party
shall promptly either seek an appropriate protective order, waive the receiving Party's
confidentiality obligations hereunder to the extent necessary to permit the receiving Party to

TOWBOAT MECHANICAL AVAILABILITY CALCULATION and
TOWBOAT CREDIT CALCULATION
1.Towboat Mechanical Availability Metric: A towboat is deemed 100% mechanically
available if it can perform work at any given time. The towboat is not required to be active,
but it must be available to do work.
2.Calculation of Towboat Group Mechanical Availability:
(a)Mechanical Availability is the percentage of time Equipment in the Towboat Group not
under Force Majeure is capable of performing work during a Mechanical Availability
Calculation Period. A towboat is deemed not capable of performing work during periods
of scheduled downtime and unscheduled downtime. In accordance with the latest version
of HSM's Boat Mechanical Availability Metric Definition Document, HSM will gather
data for this calculation from various sources, including but not limited to: (i) the HSM
operation status updates (ii) HSM daily marine traffic reports (iii) HSM Maintenance
Supervisor statements, and (iv) towboat activity logs.
(b)Mathematically the formula is expressed as follows:
image.jpg
Where:
i=each individual towboat identified as Equipment in the Towboat Group at any time
during the Mechanical Availability Calculation Period
n=the number of towboats identified as Equipment in the Towboat Group at any time
during the Mechanical Availability Calculation Period
h=number of hours each individual towboat (i) is in the Towboat Group during the
Mechanical Availability Calculation Period
f=number of hours each individual towboat (i) in the Towboat Group during the
Mechanical Availability Calculation Period is under Force Majeure
s= number of hours each individual towboat (i) in the Towboat Group during the
Mechanical Availability Calculation Period has encountered scheduled downtime
u= number of hours each individual towboat (i) in the Towboat Group during the
Mechanical Availability Calculation Period has encountered unscheduled downtime
Scheduled downtime means towboat unavailability to perform work due to scheduled
mechanical activities such as regulatory inspections, planned maintenance/repairs, dry docking,
overhaul or other planned work. Scheduled downtime begins when a towboat is dry docked or
physically unable to perform transportation services at the start of the planned maintenance/
repair work (including cleaning or preparation work), as appropriate, and ends when a towboat
is capable of moving a Cargo.
Unscheduled downtime means towboat unavailability to perform work due to unscheduled
mechanical activities such as equipment malfunctions, process failures, and downtime associated
with accidents. Unscheduled downtime does not include Force Majeure Events or circumstances such
as weather-related events/delays, lock delays, traffic delays, loading/unloading delays, demurrage
time, unplanned drills/inspections, fueling, routine maintenance, etc. Unscheduled downtime begins
when a towboat is not capable of moving a Cargo or performing work and ends when such towboat is
capable of moving a Cargo or performing work.
3.Calculation of Credit for Towboat Group
(a)If Mechanical Availability for the Mechanical Availability Calculation Period95% then
MPC is not due a Credit for Mechanical Availability
(b)If Mechanical Availability for the Mechanical Availability Calculation Period < 95% then
MPC is due a Credit for Mechanical Availability calculated as follows:
image1.jpg
Where:
MA=Mechanical Availability for the Mechanical Availability Calculation Period i=each
individual towboat identified as Equipment in the Towboat Group at any time during the
Mechanical Availability Calculation Period
n=the number of towboats identified as Equipment in the Towboat Group at any time during
the Mechanical Availability Calculation Period
r=the day rate for each individual towboat (i) in the Towboat Group during the Mechanical
Availability Calculation Period
d= number of days* each individual towboat (i) is in the Towboat Group during the Mechanical
Availability Calculation Period
f=number of days* each individual towboat (i) in the Towboat Group during the Mechanical
Availability Calculation Period is under Force Majeure
* A day can be partial, e.g., 15 hours = .625 days
4.For illustration purposes, the following is a sample calculation based on the listed assumptions
using full days (24 hours):
I.Assumptions:
1)Mechanical Availability Calculation Period January 1-December 31
2)Towboat #1
a.On Exhibit C as Equipment January 1- December 31 (365 days)
b.January 1-June 30 capable to do work (181 Days)
c.July 1-July 15 scheduled downtime (15 days)
d.July 16-October 15 capable to do work (92 Days)
e.October 16-October 25 unscheduled downtime (10 days)
f.October 25-November 30 capable to do work (36 days)
g.December 1-December 31 Force Majeure (31 days)
h.Day Rate= $6000
3)Towboat #2
a.On Exhibit C as Equipment January I-March 31 (90 days)
b.January I-January 7 unscheduled maintenance (7 days)
c.January 8-March 31 capable to do work (83 days)
d.Day Rate=$7000
4)Towboat #3
a.On Exhibit C as Equipment July I-December 31 (184 days)
b.July I-September 15 capable to do work (77 days)
c.September 16-September 21 unscheduled downtime (6 days)
d.September 22-December 31 capable to do work (101 days)
e.Day Rate=$7000
5)Towboat #4
a.On Exhibit C as Equipment May I-December 31 (245 days)
b.May 1-May 31 capable to do work (31 days)
c.June 1-June 10 scheduled downtime (10 days)
d.June 11-December 26 capable to do work (199 days)
e.December 27-December 31 Force Majeure (5 days)
f.Day Rate=$7000
II.Example calculation of Mechanical Availability for Towboat Group
Towboat Group
Mechanical=
(365+90+184+245) - (31+0+0+5) - (15+0+0+10) - (10+7+6+0)
= 94.34%
Availability
(365+90+184+245) -(31+0+0+5)
shape-bd07a717503ebc2b.gif
III.Example calculation of the Credit for Towboat Group
1)If the Towboat Group Mechanical Availability was equal to or greater than 95% no
Credit would be due for the example Mechanical Availability Calculation Period
2)Since the Towboat Group Mechanical Availability is less than 95% in this example, a
Credit is due and needs to be calculated.
3)Calculation of Credit for Towboat Group is as follows:
[95%-94.34%]* [($6000* (365-31)) + ($7000* (90-0))- ($7000* (184-0))+ ($7000* (245-5))] =$36,973.20
Exhibit F
BARGE MECHANICAL AVAILABILITY CALCULATION and
BARGE CREDIT CALCULATION
1.Barge Mechanical Availability Metric: A barge is deemed 100% mechanically available if it can
perform work at any given time. The barge is not required to be active, but it must be available to
do work.
2.Calculation of Barge Group Mechanical Availability:
(a)Mechanical Availability is the percentage of time Equipment in the Barge Group not under
Force Majeure is capable of performing work during a Mechanical Availability Calculation
Period. A barge is deemed not capable of performing work during periods of scheduled
downtime and unscheduled downtime. In accordance with the latest version of HSM's Barge
Mechanical Availability Metric Definition Document, HSM will gather data for this
calculation from various sources, including but not limited to: (i) the HSM barge inspector
reports (ii) HSM maintenance planning meetings, and (iii) operations and maintenance
management systems.
(b)Mathematically the formula is expressed as follows:
image2.jpg
Where:
i=each individual barge identified as Equipment in the Barge Group at any time during the
Mechanical Availability Calculation Period
n=the number of barges identified as Equipment in the Barge Group at any time during the
Mechanical Availability Calculation Period
h=number of hours each individual barge (i) is in the Barge Group during the Mechanical
Availability Calculation Period
f=number of hours each individual barge (i) in the Barge Group during the Mechanical Availability
Calculation Period is under Force Majeure
s= number of hours each individual barge (i) in the Barge Group during the Mechanical
Availability Calculation Period has encountered scheduled downtime
u= number of hours each individual barge (i) in the Barge Group during the Mechanical
Availability Calculation Period has encountered unscheduled downtime
Scheduled downtime means the cumulative number of days that the barges are unavailable to
perform work due to scheduled mechanical activities such as regulatory inspections, planned
maintenance/repairs, dry docking, overhaul or other planned work. Scheduled downtime begins
when a barge is docked or at the start of the planned maintenance/repair work (including cleaning or
preparation work), as appropriate, and ends when a barge is capable of moving a Cargo.
Unscheduled downtime means barge unavailability to perform work due to unscheduled mechanical
activities such as equipment malfunctions, process failures, and downtime associated with accidents.
Unscheduled downtime does not include Force Majeure Events or circumstances such as weather
related events/delays, lock delays, traffic delays, loading/unloading delays, demurrage time,
unplanned drills/inspections, fueling, routine maintenance, etc. Unscheduled Downtime begins when
a barge is docked prior to the beginning maintenance and repair, including cleaning and prep work
and ends when such barge is capable of moving a Cargo or performing work.
3.Calculation of Credit for Barge Group
(a)If Mechanical Availability for the Mechanical Availability Calculation Period 95% then
MPC is not due a Credit for Mechanical Availability
(b)If Mechanical Availability for the Mechanical Availability Calculation Period< 95% then
MPC is due a Credit for Mechanical Availability calculated as follows:
image3.jpg
Where:
MA=Mechanical Availability for the Mechanical Availability Calculation Period i=each
individual barge identified as Equipment in the Barge Group at any time during the
Mechanical Availability Calculation Period
