PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION: An indemnifying Party hereunder shall be provided with reasonable notice and opportunity to defend in the event any claim or demand is made on, or a proceeding is commenced against, the other Party or its officers, directors, employees, agents or Affiliates (each an "indemnified person") in respect of which the indemnifying Party has agreed to provide indemnification hereunder; provided that

    A. Failure to provide reasonable notice to an indemnifying Party will not relieve the indemnifying Party of any liability it may have to any indemnified person, except to the extent the indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such claim, demand or proceeding is prejudiced by the failure to give reasonable notice;

    B. The indemnifying Party's right to assume the defense shall be subject to its election, by notice to the other Party and the indemnified person(s), to assume the defense with retention of lawyers reasonably satisfactory to the other Party unless: (1) the indemnified person or persons are also parties to the proceeding and determine in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate; or (2) the indemnifying Party fails to provide, promptly upon request, reasonable assurance to the indemnified person or persons of the indemnifying Party's financial capacity to defend the claim, demand or proceeding and provide indemnification hereunder;

    C. If the indemnifying Party assumes the defense, no compromise or settlement of the claim, demand or proceeding may be effected by the indemnifying Party without the written consent of each indemnified person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless: (1) there is no finding or admission of any violation of legal requirements or any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against such indemnified person; and (2) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying Party; and

    D. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable possibility that a claim, demand or proceeding may adversely affect it other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, such Party may by written notice to the indemnifying Party assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle the claim, demand or proceeding, but the indemnifying Party will not be bound by any determination of a proceeding so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
  11. NON-PERFORMANCE/FORCE MAJEURE:
    A. No liability shall result to any Party from delay in performance or non-performance in whole or in part of such Party's obligations hereunder caused by circumstances reasonably beyond the control of such Party including, but not limited to: (1) acts of God, fire, flood, acts or threats of war, sabotage, terrorist activity, or acts of the public enemy, employee/worker strikes, transportation failure, breakdowns, equipment failure, diminishment or failure of power, telecommunications, data systems, or networks, shortage or inability to obtain Product or raw material for Product, or good-faith compliance with 
    any governmental order or request (whether valid or invalid); and/or (2) when the supply of Product or any constituent thereof or any facility of production, manufacture, storage, transportation, distribution or delivery contemplated by Seller, its Affiliates and/or Seller's Agents is interrupted, unavailable or inadequate for any cause whatsoever which is not within the reasonable control of Seller, its Affiliates and/or Seller's Agent.

    B. Seller shall not be obligated to purchase or obtain Product, or feedstock to make Product, to replace deliveries omitted or curtailed hereunder as a result of any circumstances described in Sub-Section A above and any such deficiencies shall be cancelled with no liability to either Party. The occurrence of circumstances described in Sub-Section A above shall not relieve Buyer for non-performance of its obligation to pay in full for Products received.
  12. ALLOCATION:
    A. If there is, or Seller believes in its sole judgment that there may be, a shortage of supplies of Product, for whatever reason, including a force majeure event as set forth above, so that Seller is or may be unable to meet the demands of some or all of its and other customers, then Seller may allocate to and among its customers such quantities of Product as Seller determines in the exercise of its sole business judgment it has available for distribution to all customers from any given terminal or point of supply, provided that Seller’s plan of allocation shall not unreasonably discriminate between Buyer and Seller’s other customers who are supplied by the same terminal or point of supply. Seller shall not be required to make up any deliveries or quantities omitted pursuant to Seller’s right to allocate Products, nor shall Seller be liable for any damages or losses in connection with such omitted deliveries or quantities. In all situations of perceived or actual supply shortages, Seller may join or comply with any voluntary or non-mandatory price, supply, allocation or delivery restriction systems or programs designed and/or supported by any governmental authority, without any liability whatsoever to Buyer.

    B. In the event of uncertainties in the supply/demand situation affecting Products and/or Services, or the unavailability of sufficient Products and/or Services, which in Seller’s sole opinion may prevent Seller from supplying, on an economically viable basis, the contractual volumes necessary to meet the requirements for all or some of its customers of Products and/or Services, Seller may allocate, limit and/or cease the supply of Products and Services on any basis which Seller believes is fair and reasonable under the circumstances.
  13. TITLE/RISK OF LOSS: For any Product that Seller sells under an arrangement where the Product is delivered by an authorized distributor of Seller, title to the Product and all risk of loss or damage pass to Buyer on delivery to Buyer’s facility. For any Product that Seller sells directly to Buyer: (1) when Buyer arranges and pays for transportation, then title to the Product and all risk of loss or damage pass to Buyer at Seller’s facility upon loading for delivery into the carrier or Buyer’s transport; and (2) when Seller arranges and pays for transportation, title to the Product and all risk of loss or damage pass to Buyer on delivery at Buyer’s facility. If Seller is to pay freight, selection of carrier and routing of shipments shall be determined by Seller.
