         The terms and conditions of this Cargo and Freight Volume Agreement Amendment Five Between Port Manatee and Arrow Terminals hereinafter (“Amendment Five”), made and entered into by and between the MANATEE COUNTY PORT AUTHORITY, a political entity of the State of Florida, with its principal place of business located at Port Manatee, 300 Tampa Bay Way, Palmetto, Florida 34221, hereinafter referred to as the “Authority,” and ARROW TERMINALS, an entity duly organized to do business in the State of Florida, with a principal place of business located at 5201 W. Kennedy Blvd, Suite 530, Tampa, Florida 33609, hereinafter referred to as “Arrow,” for and in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, amend the Port Manatee Cargo and Freight Volume Agreement entered into by the parties hereto dated December 17, 2015 (hereinafter “Agreement”), the Port Manatee Cargo and Freight Volume Agreement Amendment One dated April 21, 2016, (hereinafter “Amendment One”), the Port Manatee Cargo and Freight Volume Agreement – Amendment Two dated December 21, 2017, (hereinafter “Amendment Two”), the Port Manatee Cargo and Freight Volume Agreement Amendment Three dated December 20, 2018 (hereinafter “Amendment Three”), the Port Manatee Cargo and Freight Volume Agreement – Amendment Four dated May 19, 2020 (hereinafter “Amendment Four”), and state as follows:

         1. CONSIDERATION. Each of the parties represents that as a result of economic conditions, mutual covenants, the long-term benefit to both parties, and other good and valuable consideration, this Amendment Five shall govern the parties’ responsibilities regarding the term (paragraph 2), inside storage rates and charges per short ton (paragraph

            3.A.), the deep draft charge (paragraph 3.C), and the minimum annual guarantee (paragraph

            
            

            3.D. of the Agreement).

            
            

         2. SCOPE AND EXTENSION. Arrow exercised its option to renew for 2021. Current renewal terms are for one year through 2022. Arrow has agreed to renewal terms of two years committing to calendar years 2021 and 2022 upon execution of this amendment with the option to extend to calendar years 2023 and 2024 by providing a written notification of renewal by August 31, 2022; and extend to calendar year 2025 by providing a written notification of renewal by August 31, 2024.

Deep Draft rates and Minimum Annual Guarantees have been established for the calendar years 2023, 2024 and 2025. This Amendment Five is being entered into for the purpose of amending, modifying and superseding paragraphs 2, 3.A., 3.C and 3.D. of the Agreement to revise the renewal terms and establish inside storage rates, deep draft rates, and minimum annual guarantee for the calendar years 2023, 2024, and 2025. Except to the extent amended in Amendment Five, all other provisions set forth in the Agreement, Amendment One, Amendment Two, Amendment Three, and Amendment Four shall remain in full force and effect and binding upon the Authority and Arrow. In entering into Amendment Five, the parties acknowledge that in no way has the Authority waived any of its rights or claims it may have against Arrow.

         3. AMENDMENT. The parties agree to amend, modify, and supersede paragraph 2. of the Agreement as amended by Amendment Two, paragraph 3.A. as amended by Amendment

            One, Amendment Two and Amendment Three, paragraph 3.C as amended by Amendment One and Amendment Two, and paragraph3.D. as amended by Amendment Four as follows:

            2. TERM OF AGREEMENT. The initial duration or term of this Agreement shall commence on the January 1, 2016 (the “Effective Date”) and shall terminate two

            (2) years thereafter on December 31, 2017 (the “Initial Term”), unless otherwise extended or terminated pursuant to other provisions contained herein. The parties agree that the term of this Agreement may be extended a total of four (4) one-year renewal options upon mutual written agreement, and a total of two (2) two-year renewal options. To exercise the option to renew the term for the 2018-2020 one- year term, Arrow must deliver to the Authority, no later than September 30 of each year, written notification of its intention to renew for one year. The first extended term of this Agreement shall commence on January 1, 2018 and shall terminate one

            (1) year thereafter on December 31, 2018 (the “First Extended Term”), unless otherwise extended or terminated pursuant to other provisions contained herein. As of November, 17, 2020, Arrow has exercised its option to renew for the two-year calendar term for 2021-2022. To exercise the option to renew for the two-year calendar term 2023-2024, Arrow must deliver to the Authority written notification of its intention to renew for two years by no later than August 31 of 2022. To exercise the option to renew the term for the 2025 one-year term, Arrow must deliver to the Authority written notification of its intention to renew by no later than August 31, 2024,. The Agreement shall apply to all Cargo shipped via Arrow Terminals at Port Manatee and arriving in Port Manatee during the Term of this Agreement.

            If there is a material change in the relationship between Arrow and their service provider which results in Arrow discontinuing operations at Port Manatee, then Arrow may terminate this Agreement only after it has provided the Authority written notice six (6) months’ prior to termination and has paid all fees, rates, and charges due as of the date of termination, which includes but is not limited to the prorated Minimum Annual Guarantee (pursuant to Section 3D below) for the calendar year as of the date of termination.

Arrow shall pay the Authority interest at one and one half percent (1.5%) per month or part thereof (18%) per annum on any payment which remains unpaid for thirty (30) calendar days from the due date.

However, the Authority makes no guarantees that all of Arrow’s cargo can be consolidated and stored together. Further, the parties agree that Arrow is responsible for any and all of its cargo that is stored at Port Manatee. In accordance with the Port Manatee Tariff, Arrow agrees to provide all necessary insurance related to the cargo Arrow bring to Port Manatee.

      2. CONFLICT. In the event of a conflict regarding the provisions set forth in

In the event of a conflict between any other paragraphs within the Agreement, Amendment One, Amendment Two, Amendment Three, Amendment Four, and Amendment Five, then the Agreement, Amendment One, Amendment Two, Amendment Three, and Amendment Four shall prevail.

      3. AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE. Each party covenants to the other party that

         
         

         it has lawful authority to enter into this Amendment Five, that the governing or managing body of each of the parties has approved this Amendment Five and that the governing or managing body of each of the parties has authorized the execution of this Amendment Five in the manner hereinafter set forth.
