Sable Onshore Emergency Response Reference Document
Mar 2014 Document Control Number ZA-Z00-X-01-1002.03 6
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Emergency Response Reference Document has been developed by ExxonMobil Canada
Properties (EMCP) as the operator of the Sable Offshore Energy Project (SOEP) to describe the
guiding principles, objectives and structure that will be implemented in responding to an
emergency situation at Sable onshore facilities. This document details response structures that
can be implemented during emergency events. Supporting documentation like the Sable
Onshore Emergency Response Reference Document comprised of checklists, technical data /
information and resource contacts have been specifically developed for use by the
organizations emergency responders. The concept of this framework document and the
relationship with other response plans is presented in the diagram below.

Mar 2014 Document Control Number ZA-Z00-X-01-1002.03 7
1.1 Emergency Response Philosophy
ExxonMobil Canada East (EMCE) is committed to ensuring the safety of all people associated
with its Sable operations onshore. During an emergency, maintaining the safety of those
initially unaffected; ensuring the safety of those responding to the incident; and rescuing those
who may have been injured are the prime responsibilities of responders and those in command.
The EMCE - Sable Onshore Emergency Response Reference document aims to ensure the
safety of people, reduce the potential for environmental impacts and to reduce the potential for
loss or damage of physical assets.
All personnel involved in emergency response contribute to the development and improvement
of this and other emergency response documentation, and are trained to act in compliance with
this plan during any emergency situation.
This Sable Onshore Emergency Response reference document is available to all employees,
both onshore and offshore. This may include contractors that service the Sable production
facilities. Updates are redistributed both electronically and in a paper format.
1.2 Emergency Response Guiding Principles
Emergency Response capabilities have been and will continue to be tested regularly. The
results of exercises are incorporated into the appropriate resource material, which are
designed to improve performance. Goldboro has 2 dedicated emergency response rooms
in the Administration building (Control Room and ICC) to support emergency response
capabilities.
Emergency Response capability is an integral part of Sable's business and it is integrated
into the Business Planning Process.
Exercises, which can involve all of the Sable resources and appropriate external agencies,
are critical to ensuring preparedness for emergency response.
Appropriate training and exercises are conducted regularly to improve and maintain a
group of well-trained, competent individuals/teams.
Every employee, whether specifically assigned or not, has a responsibility to Emergency
Response as part of daily work and is expected to participate in both exercises and an
actual event.

Mar 2014 Document Control Number ZA-Z00-X-01-1002.03 8
1.3 Purpose
This document:
describes the emergency response organizational structure;
details procedures, diagrams, flowcharts, and checklists to be followed for all reasonably
anticipated emergency response events.
To meet response objectives, the Sable Onshore Emergency Response Reference Document
defines individual roles and responsibilities, outlines training necessary to ensure competency
in emergency response, details communication hardware and processes, and provides checklists
and or flowcharts.
1.4 Applicability
This document applies to all Sable Onshore Facilities and Sable Contractors. This document
covers incidents at all Sable Onshore facilities, and the NGL pipeline. The ER Plan will be the
governing document for all activities for the life of the project and will be bridged with related
response plans to facilitate the maximum control of emergency situations.
1.5 Accountability and Responsibility
The Production Manager for ExxonMobil Canada has overall accountability for the Sable
emergency response capability.
1.5.1 Onshore
The EMCE SSHE Manager is responsible for emergency preparedness at all Sable
production facilities, various work sites, and maintaining competency of emergency
response teams.
The EMCE OIMS/Emergency Response Advisor is responsible for the technical
integrity of the emergency response system and execution of the activities described in
this document relating to participants.
At the onshore facilities, the Onshore Superintendent is responsible for emergency
response, including execution of response efforts, maintaining competency of onshore
teams, approval for and review of emergency response exercises.
1.5.2 Sable Offshore ER Reference Document
The “Sable Offshore ER Reference Document” (ZA-A00-X-90-1002.01) defines the
Emergency Response structure at the Sable Offshore Facilities.
Sable Onshore Emergency Response Reference Document
Mar 2014 Document Control Number ZA-Z00-X-01-1002.03 9
1.6 Testing the Emergency Response Plan
The Sable Onshore Emergency Response Reference Document will be continually tested to
ensure it is current, comprehensive and effective. This is accomplished through regular drill
and simulation exercises.
The Sable Facility Emergency Drills and Exercises Procedure (ZA-Z00-X-01-1002.01)
supplies details for this process.
2.0 SABLE EMERGENCY RESPONSE ORGANIZATION
2.1 Field - Emergency Response Teams
The field Emergency Response organization deals with the immediate on-site incident and is
made up of a number of teams, each with their own specialized skills. This group has
responsibility for immediate action aimed at controlling and mitigating any emergency
situation. The team's primary purpose is to ensure the safety of personnel, protection of the
environment, and security of the installation.
2.2 Incident Command Center (ICC) Mobilization
The Incident Command Center (ICC) is located in the Goldboro Administration building.
During regular work hours, mobilization of the ICC Response Team will be normally initiated
through a facility muster alarm.
During off-hours (nights and weekends), mobilization of the ICC will be initiated by the
Goldboro Control Room Operator (Operations Chief). This identified person will follow a
checklist (appendix 12) during an emergency incident. Part of that list would include a
telephone call to the on call Operations Team Lead (OTL) or designate. The OTL in turn
would contact the ICC Team members if required via telephone and have them report to the
Goldboro facility. Responders will carry an operating cell phone at all times and will report to
the Goldboro Control Room or ICC Center at the Goldboro Gas Plant when activated.
Mobilization of the Halifax Emergency Operations Center (EOC) can be initiated by the
Control Room Operator or Operations Team Lead by contacting TELELINK in Newfoundland
at 1-709-748-4264.
Depending on the severity of the incident and the corporate support required (normally severity
2 or 3); the Operations Section Manager in the EOC will re-contact Telelink in Newfoundland
to activate the ESG (Emergency Support Group).

Mar 2014 Document Control Number ZA-Z00-X-01-1002.03 10
Core areas of expertise provided by the ICC Team are:
Incident Commander
On-Site Operation Chief (Control Room Operator or Lead Operator)
Operations Co-ordinator
Logistics Co-ordinator
Safety / Planning Co-ordinator
Event Recorder
2.3 Founders Square Emergency Response Organization
There are 2 separate emergency response teams for ExxonMobil Canada East Operations.
1. The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) supplies direct tactical response/support to the
Sable incident site Command Center or if required contractor facilities.
2. The Emergency Support Group (ESG) supports all EMCE owned/joint venture incident
Command Centers. (Sable, Hibernia, Terra Nova, Kometik, and NTL).
2.4 Mobilizing the Halifax EOC
The Responsible Person at the facility will assess the incident severity.
Severity 2 or 3 incidents support automatic mobilization of Halifax EOC Team.
(mobilization of Halifax EOC team may be initiated during an escalating severity 1
incident).
The Responsible Person calls 1-709-748-4264. (Telelink in Newfoundland) to mobilize
Halifax EOC Response Team.
Give the person at Telelink your name and role description.
Give person at Telelink a location, brief description and severity rating of the incident.
Ask for a full mobilization of the Halifax EOC Team and supply a call back number.
Once the local EOC has been mobilized, the normal method of communications will be
through the phone and fax lines.

3.0 SEVERITY LEVELS OF EMERGENCY
3.1 Classification System
The Sable Onshore Incident Commander, or Goldboro Control Room Operator will declare the
incident severity level in the field as outlined in the "ExxonMobil" Incident Severity
Assessment Level Matrix" (figure-6.00). The Sable EOC Operations Section Manager or ICC
Incident Commander may change the emergency severity level status once the facts related to
an emergency have been assessed.
3.1.1 Severity Level Zero (O) Emergency
Severity level Zero is an incident that is normally is very low risk and requires
notification to business units. A severity Level Zero may have the potential to escalate
into a more serious severity level.
3.1.2 Severity Level One (1) Emergency
A Severity Level One Emergency is an emergency where the public or the environment
is not at serious risk. The incident can be controlled by personnel on-site or readily
dispatched to the site. The incident is contained on-site. However, a Severity Level One
Emergency has the potential to escalate. The required Municipal, Provincial, and
Federal agencies must be alerted.
A Severity level One Emergency can also be declared for incidents that are not
immediately recognised as emergencies but because of the uncertainty of their
consequences can be declared Severity level One Emergency.
3.1.3 Severity Level Two (2) Emergency
A Severity level Two Emergency is any emergency that presents a definite risk to Sable
personnel, the public, or the environment. The emergency cannot be confined to a Sable
facility and external assistance is required. Extensive media contact is also required.
Sable’s assets or image may be compromised. Outside services Municipal, Provincial,
and Federal Government agencies must be alerted. This has the potential to develop
into a Severity level Three Emergency.
3.1.4 Severity Level Three (3) Emergency
A Severity level Three Emergency is an emergency where control of the situation has
been lost, presenting a definite hazard to Sable personnel, the public, or the
environment. A Severity level Three Emergency could evolve from a Severity level one
or Two Emergency. A Severity level Three Emergency can also include significant and
on-going environmental impacts. A Severity level Three Emergency also means that

4.0 COMMUNICATION AND NOTIFICATION
4.1 Communications
All Sable facilities have a comprehensive suite of communication systems. These
may include Public Address, UHF and VHF radio, telephone (land and satellite),
and fax machines. An aeronautical radio system provides voice communication
between the facility, aircraft, vessel, and shore. A public address and emergency
alarm system is provided to alert personnel of emergency situations. A multi-
channel UHF trunked radio system is used as one of the primary means of routine
facility operation communications. The telephone system may use a satellite and /
or hard wire contact depending on the location. In areas onshore where UHF and
VHF radio signal strength may be decreased, cellphone boosters are utilized by our
ER personnel and they can also be supplied to local Emergency Services personnel
as required. Communication is a critical part of any emergency response. The
person in control of the incident may decide, under exceptional circumstances, to
use communications channels outside the normal protocols described in this section
(identified in section 9 - TMR Radio Procedure).
To be effective, an Emergency Response Plan requires an effective communication
system. Response personnel need to be appropriately informed during a serious
incident to enable emergency support. The EMCE emergency response team
Flowchart (figure 2.00) provides a framework for effective communication.
Communication links and the capture of pertinent information during an emergency
response event are critical to a successful response. The emergency response teams
use many tools to help in decision making. Some of these tools include Information
Boards, faxable information forms, log sheets, checklists, and maps or charts. Some
of these tools are identified in the following sections.
4.2 Notification / Communication Processes
During an emergency response, incident communication and notification processes
must be clear and simple to allow for proper transfer of information and decision
making within the response teams and community. This is accomplished through
proper checklists and communication links between the incident sites, response
teams, regulators, contractors, and the business unit. The Halifax EOC and
ExxonMobil Canada East - ESG team is responsible to support the onshore
facilities and teams with Public Affairs, Media, and Family Response.
Incident information must be obtained as soon as possible from the incident site and
transferred to the emergency response teams (ICC and EOC) to speed the support
process. The information from the incident site must be captured, documented, and
relayed to other support teams (ESG). In turn, from this information, quick
Sable Onshore Emergency Response Reference Document
Mar 2014 Document Control Number ZA-Z00-X-01-1002.03 20
decisions can be made within the ER Teams on the best way to aid and support the
incident site. Sable has incorporated into their emergency response rooms many
response tools to aid in this communication transfer. These include telephones,
radios, faxes, checklists, and information boards.
5.0 ICC Forms and Checklists
Multiple ICC forms / checklists have been developed for use by our emergency
responders in the field, emergency response centers, and control room to obtain
information quickly, accurately and regularly from the incident site and relay this
data to support teams. Information whiteboards are used in all EMCE emergency
response rooms to collect and display incoming data and aid in the decision-making
processes.
This section outlines how EMCE Sable Facilities utilizes forms and checklists
during an emergency situation. A list of ICC forms is detailed in section 5.1 and
outlined within the plan appendices.
5.1 EMCE Sable Facilities ICC Forms and Checklists (detailed Information)
5.1.1 Facility Status Sheet - Appendix 1
The "Facility Status sheet" will be kept in all EMCE Sable facility
Control Rooms. In the event of an emergency (severity 2 or 3) this
form will be completed as soon as possible by the Goldboro Control
Room Operator or designate and faxed into the Halifax EOC (1-902-
490-8885). This form is generic and incorporates information for both
onshore and offshore facilities. The Goldboro Control Room Operator
or designate should complete only the sections pertinent to their
facility. During the incident and as the status of the facility changes,
this form can be updated by the Goldboro CR Operator or designate
and again faxed to the Halifax EOC. The information from this sheet
will be copied onto the information boards in the EOC.
5.1.2 Incident Communications Checklist - Appendix 2
The "Incident Communications Checklist" form is used to obtain
pertinent ongoing information from the incident site. During an
incident, the Operations Co-ordinator (Halifax / Goldboro) will
contact the incident site (as outlined in figure 2.00) at intervals of
between 10 and 15 minutes and ask the questions itemised on the
checklist. The information gathered by the Operations Co-ordinator in
turn will be relayed to the Operations Section Manager / Incident
Sable Onshore Emergency Response Reference Document
Mar 2014 Document Control Number ZA-Z00-X-01-1002.03 21
Commander. This form will also be faxed to other response teams
that require this information (ICC to EOC / EOC to ESG). From this
information, decisions can be made to support the incident site.
During the incident as the severity is lessened and the situation
stabilizes, call intervals to the incident site may be less frequent.
5.1.3 First Arrival Instructions - Appendix 3
The "1st Arrival Instructions" form is used by the EOC in Halifax and
the ICC On-site Operations Chief in Goldboro to gather the first
information from the incident scene. The first person arriving in the
ICC / EOC will contact the incident site, identify themselves to the
first activated responder, and proceed to ask the questions itemised on
this checklist. This information will be placed on information boards
and relayed to the ICC / EOC response team as they arrive in the
response room. These forms can then be faxed to the other response
teams (ICC to EOC, EOC to ESG). From this initial information,
decisions can be started to support the incident site.
5.1.4 Telephone Call Sheet (example) - Appendix 4
Each member of the EOC, ESG, and ICC has access to a "Telephone
Call Sheet". This sheet is used to capture information derived from
telephone conversations with the incident site, contractors and
regulators or from the business units. The information, if required,
can then be placed onto proper information boards by simply circling
the correct box at the bottom of the call sheet. The top sheet of this
form will be given to an Event Recorder. The call sheet originator
will keep one copy of the call sheet for their records.
After an Incident, the EMCE OIMS/EP&R Advisor will require all
the paperwork from the response rooms. This paperwork will be held
for one year in the event of an investigation or inquiry.
5.1.5 Timeout Sheet - Appendix 5
The purpose of the "Timeout Sheet" is to ensure the Leaders in the
Sable emergency response rooms (ESG, EOC, ICC) maintain focus
and control of their teams during the entire incident. As the
information is obtained from the incident (Incident Communications
Checklist), the leader of the team will assess the needs of the incident
site and formulate a plan to give support using this form. At intervals
Sable Onshore Emergency Response Reference Document
Mar 2014 Document Control Number ZA-Z00-X-01-1002.03 22
of 10 to 15 minutes, the team leader will hold a timeout to direct,
inform, and focus the team.
5.1.6 Field Command Center Sign – In Log - Appendix 6
This Incident Sign in Log sheet will be used by the "On Scene
Commander" in the field to capture personnel entering or exiting
either an incident site or work area at the site. This form would be
used at an incident staging area where workers or equipment are
deployed.
5.1.7 Field Command Center Action Log - Appendix 7
This Incident Action Log sheet will be used by the "On Scene
Commander" in the field during meetings to detail actions to be
performed at the field incident site and by whom. This form would be
used at an incident staging area where workers or equipment are
deployed.
5.1.8 Field Command Center Resources Log - Appendix 8
This Incident Resources Log sheet will be used by the "On Scene
Commander" in the field to track resources that are required at the
incident site. These resources could include equipment, persons, or
teams. This form would be used at an incident staging area where
workers or equipment are deployed.
5.1.9 Field Command Center Log Sheet - Appendix 9
This Incident Log sheet will be used by the "On Scene Commander"
in the field to track events as they occur during the entire incident.
This form would be used at an incident staging area where workers or
equipment are deployed.
5.1.10 Field Command Center Daily Team Assignment - Appendix 10

Figure 10 - LPG EMERGENCY RESPONSE CORP. – ROLE DESCRIPTIONS
THE LPG EMERGENCY RESPONSE CORPORATION
Throughout Canada’s propane industry, safety is of paramount importance. However, incidents can happen, any time and any place. When they do, the LPG Emergency Response Corp. is there, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Highly trained personnel with state of the art emergency response capabilities are ready at all times to assist in handling an incident involving the storage or transportation or larger quantities of LPG (propane, butane or mixtures therefore). Any company that offers for transport or imports certain classes of dangerous goods (including LPG) must have a plan in place to handle emergencies. This is required by law and regulated by Transport Canada. Since 1987 the Propane Gas Association of Canada (PGAC) has made the services of its plan available to industry. Now called the LPG Emergency response Corp., this wholly owned subsidiary of PGAC is staffed with qualified and trained individuals employing state of the art equipment through which its services will be delivered. A call to the Plan’s 24 hour national emergency response telephone line at 800-265-0212 sets in motion the teams and equipment necessary to effectively and efficiently resolve any incident. This private plan is available for use by its member companies, transportation companies and government agencies or representatives. E.g. police, fire departments. THE PLAN IN ACTION In order to meet the highest standards for emergency response to LPG incidents involving storage containers or transportation by rail and road a team of highly trained specialists has been organized across Canada. This response capability involves Response Manager, Remedial Measures Advisors, Response Teams and a Home Base Coordinator. A phone call placed through the 24 hour activation telephone number starts the following:
Response Managers
Accept calls in English and French
Provide the initial consultation and advice
Activate Emergency response Assistance Plan if required
Notify appropriate local plan participants of emergency situation
Dispatch the appropriate Remedial Measures Advisors and Response Team to the
site
Remedial Measures Advisors

8.0 SABLE ONSHORE AND NEARSHORE SPILL
RESPONSE
8.1 Purpose
This section provides the user with quick reference information on Sable On-shore
and Near-shore Spill Response. The Sable Onshore and Near Shore Spill Response
Reference document is a controlled document in Sable Docs (# ZA-Z00-X-00-
1002.006) that will provide in depth Spill Response information and supporting
documentation to the ICC Team if a spill from the pipeline is reported. Specific
information will be required to plan and execute an effective spill response.
8.2 Description of the Pipeline and Their Contents
This plan applies to spills from:
The near shore section of the subsea production gathering pipeline
The overland natural gas liquids pipeline.
8.3 Near shore Section of the Subsea Production Gathering Pipeline
The subsea production-gathering pipeline transports both natural gas and natural gas
liquids from the offshore production site near Sable Island to the onshore gas plant
at Goldboro. It has an overall length of approximately 225 kilometres. However,
this plan applies only to the 5.75-km section of the pipeline nearest the gas plant.
This section includes a 3.5-km section of subsea pipeline, extending from the
entrance of Country Harbour to the point of landfall in Betty’s Cove and a 2.25-km
section of on land pipeline extending from the point7 of landfall to the gas plant
(Figure 11). This is a two-phase pipeline carrying both natural gas and natural gas
liquids. The pipeline is 660 mm in diameter, constructed of welded carbon steel,
with a wall thickness of 17.48 mm. The line allows a maximum flow rate of 18.3
million m3/day at a design pressure of 15.3 MPag and maximum operating pressure
of 11.7 MPag. This section of the pipeline is buried to a depth of from 1 to 4 meters
throughout its length.
The properties of the two-phase mixture contained in the pipeline are summarized
in Table B.
8.4 Overland Natural Gas Liquids Pipeline
This pipeline will transport natural gas liquids (NGL) from the gas plant near
Goldboro to the fractionation plant at Point Tupper, a distance of 61 kilometres
Sable Onshore Emergency Response Reference Document
Mar 2014 Document Control Number ZA-Z00-X-01-1002.03 45
(Figure C). The line is composed of a single carbon steel pipe, 219 mm outside
diameter, 6.4 mm wall thickness. The pipeline is buried throughout its length to an
average depth of 1.0 m. Burial depth varies from 0.6 m in bedrock to 1.2 m in
agricultural land.
The pipeline carries 3318 cubic meters of NGL per day at operating pressures
between 4,137 to 6,895 KPag.
For reasons of safety and environmental protection, the sections of the pipeline
crossing the Salmon and Milford Haven Rivers and the Strait of Canso can be
isolated from the remainder of the pipeline by valves. In the event of a leak, this will
minimize the amount of spillage into these water bodies. This divides the pipeline
into six sections, and limits the size of the worst-case spills from each section, as
described in Table “A”. The locations of these emergency valves are listed below.
The composition and physical properties of the NGL are summarized in Table “B”.

9.0 ONSHORE TMR RADIOS
9.1 Overview
ExxonMobil Sable Onshore facilities utilize the TMR radios for the following:
1) Normal Communication - between Goldboro and Point Tupper and along
the pipeline ROW's.
2) Emergency Response - for inter-agency communications during co-
ordinated emergency scene response.
9.1.1 Zones & Channels
1) The TMR radios are typically operated in the Exxon Mobil Zone on
channel #1 during normal process operations.
2) During an emergency response that would require inter-agency
communications (e.g. EHS, EMO, RCMP, FIRE, etc.) the radios
would be operated on one of the Emergency Talk Groups (or channels)
identified in Figure “13”
9.1.2 Switching Between ExxonMobil Zones and Emergency Talk Groups
Power on Radio by
Turn Radio on by rotating volume button
Observe zone on LCD display. Typically should read

2. Change from Emergency Talk Group back to the ExxonMobil Talk Group
Press and Hold and the ExxonMobil zone will re-appear
9.2 Government Conditions for Use and Access of the Mutual Aid Talk Groups
A PRO-ACTIVE APPROACH TO MANAGING THE SIX MUTUAL AID TALKGROUPS IS
REQUIRED TO PRESERVE PERFORMANCE AND INTEGRITY OF THE TMRS NETWORK. IF,
FOR EXAMPLE, USERS ACROSS THE PROVINCE LISTEN TO ACTIVE RESPONDERS
WORKING A SITUATION, THE REPEATERS WILL BE UNAVAILABLE FOR OTHER RADIO
COMMUNICATIONS. TO PREVENT THIS SITUATION, THE FOLLOWING SET OF GUIDELINES
SHOULD BE OBSERVED IN THE USE OF MUTUAL AID TALK GROUPS.
MUTUAL AID TALKGROUPS ARE DESIGNED FOR INTER-AGENCY COMMUNICATIONS
DURING A COORDINATED SCENE RESPONSE. THESE GUIDELINES APPLY TO ALL
GOVERNMENT AND NON-GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AUTHORIZED TO HAVE ACCESS TO
THE MUTUAL AID TALK GROUPS.
ALL EMERGENCY CALLS MUST BE INITIATED VIA THE 911 SYSTEM. 911 WILL DIRECT
THE CALLING PARTY TO AN INCIDENT COMMANDER OR DISPATCH OPERATOR.
SITUATIONS ARE MANAGED BY AN INCIDENT COMMANDER, WHO WILL DIRECT THE
USE OF THE MUTUAL AID TALKGROUPS AS NECESSARY TO ENSURE THE EFFECTIVE
RUNNING OF THE OPERATION. THE CONSOLE OPERATOR OF THE CUSTODIAL AGENCY
WILL ASSIGN A MUTUAL AID TALKGROUP TO THE INCIDENT COMMANDER.
The Custodial Agencies are:
· DNR for Mutual Aid 1 and 2;
· EHS for Mutual Aid 3 and 4; and
· RCMP for Mutual Aid 5 and 6.
RADIO USERS ARE TO SWITCH TO A MUTUAL AID TALKGROUP ONLY WHEN DIRECTED
TO DO SO BY A SUPERVISOR, DISPATCH CONSOLE OPERATOR OR INCIDENT
COMMANDER.
MUTUAL AID TALKGROUPS ARE NOT TO BE USED FOR UNAUTHORIZED PURPOSES SUCH
AS:
· Communication for a purpose other than direct scene response;
· Monitoring; and
· Hailing Communications Centers.

9.3 Mutual Aid Simplex Channels
MUTUAL AID SIMPLEX CHANNELS ARE PROGRAMMED INTO MOST TMRS PUBLIC
SAFETY RADIOS. BECAUSE THE IMPACT OF USE IS LOCALIZED TO A SMALL
GEOGRAPHIC FOOTPRINT, RADIO USERS CAN USE THESE CHANNELS WITHOUT THE SAME
LEVEL OF AUTHORIZATION AS IS REQUIRED FOR MUTUAL AID TALKGROUPS.
HOWEVER, THESE CHANNELS SHOULD NOT BE USED INDISCRIMINATELY.
