Commitments and Contingencies	7.Commitments and Contingencies Legal Matters Lac-Megantic, Quebec As previously disclosed in “Note 7 — Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2013 10-K Report, various lawsuits have been filed against us and other third parties related to the July 2013 train derailment in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec. For additional information regarding legal proceedings related to the train derailment, see our 2013 10-K Report and Part II — Item 1 of this 10-Q Report. We are currently unable to determine the probability of loss, or reasonably estimate a range of potential losses related to the proceedings arising from the train derailment. Accordingly, we have not made any provision for these potential losses in our consolidated financial statements. However, based on estimated losses related to the value of the tank cars involved in the incident, as well as legal and other costs incurred in connection with the incident, which we believe are probable and for which a reasonable estimate can be made, we have recorded total liabilities of $35.3 million. We believe that a substantial portion of these liabilities are covered by insurance and have recorded total receivables of $34.0 million. As of September 30, 2014, the remaining unpaid liabilities of $19.3 million are included primarily in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and the remaining uncollected receivable of $24.3 million is included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Other Contingencies In connection with a theft of fuel product valued at approximately $18.0 million, we recorded an insurance receivable for the full amount of the loss, which is included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. On July 31, 2014, our insurer, AGCS Marine Insurance Company (“AGCS”), filed a declaratory judgment action against us in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking a court ruling that the loss is not covered under our policy. We believe AGCS’ position is without merit and we intend to vigorously pursue our rights. However, due to the complexities and uncertainties inherent in litigation, we can provide no assurance that we will recover the full amount of the loss. Other Matters We are a party to various claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business including, but not limited to, environmental claims, commercial and governmental contract claims, such as property damage, demurrage, billing and fuel quality claims, as well as bankruptcy preference claims and tax and administrative claims. We have established loss provisions for these ordinary course claims as well as other matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2014, we had recorded certain reserves which were not significant. For those matters where a reserve has not been established and for which we believe a loss is reasonably possible, as well as for matters where a reserve has been recorded but for which an exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, we believe that such losses will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. However, any adverse resolution of one or more such claims, complaints or proceedings during a particular period could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures for that period. Our estimates regarding potential losses and materiality are based on our judgment and assessment of the claims utilizing currently available information. Although we will continue to reassess our reserves and estimates based on future developments, our objective assessment of the legal merits of such claims may not always be predictive of the outcome and actual results may vary from our current estimates. Executive Non-Renewal Charge In connection with the non-renewal of the employment agreement between the Company and Paul H. Stebbins, the former Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, we recorded an executive non-renewal charge totaling $4.8 million in May 2014, which included non-cash expenses of $1.1 million related to previously awarded stock compensation. As of September 30, 2014, $0.9 million of the cash portion of the executive non-renewal charge was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $2.6 million was included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan We offer a non-qualified deferred compensation (“NQDC”) plan to certain eligible employees, excluding our named executive officers, whereby the participants may defer a portion of their compensation. We do not match any participant deferrals under the NQDC plan. Participants can elect from a variety of investment choices for their deferred compensation and gains and losses on these investments are credited to their respective accounts. The deferred compensation payable amount under this NQDC plan is subject to the claims of our general creditors and was $2.2 million and $0.9 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which was included other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

On July 31, 2014, our insurer, AGCS Marine Insurance Company (“AGCS”), filed a declaratory judgment action against us in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking a court ruling that the loss is not covered under our policy. We believe AGCS’ position is without merit and we intend to vigorously pursue our rights. However, due to the complexities and uncertainties inherent in litigation, we can provide no assurance that we will recover the full amount of the loss.

We are a party to various claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business including, but not limited to, environmental claims, commercial and governmental contract claims, such as property damage, demurrage, billing and fuel quality claims, as well as bankruptcy preference claims and tax and administrative claims. We have established loss provisions for these ordinary course claims as well as other matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated.
