38

or for purposes other than those for which such information was collected by Sellers, except with the consent of the individuals to whom such information relates or as otherwise permitted by Applicable Law. If Sellers or Purchaser terminate this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Sellers all information about identifiable individuals, as defined in Applicable Laws relating to privacy, in its possession or in the possession of any of its Representatives, including all copies, reproductions, summaries or extracts thereof

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties’ obligations of confidentiality and restricted use in respect of the Technical Information are as set forth in the Technology Agreements.

Purchaser shall provide Sellers with full access to Books and Records upon reasonable request, including any assistance and explanations to Sellers, its accountants and auditors as may be reasonably required for this purpose.

(b) Purchaser will keep and properly archive all Books and Records, documents and other data as required by all relevant legislation, including, without limitation Tax, labor and Environmental Law, and provide Sellers reasonable access to such documents and data upon Sellers’ request and to the extent necessary for Sellers’ legitimate purposes.

Neither Party shall issue any press release or public announcement concerning this Agreement or the Transaction or make any other public disclosure containing or pertaining to the terms of this Agreement without obtaining Sellers’ or Purchaser’s, as applicable, prior written approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless, in the judgment of Sellers or Purchaser, as applicable, disclosure is otherwise required by Applicable Law or by the applicable rules of any stock exchange on which Sellers, Purchaser or their Affiliates list securities, provided that, to the extent any disclosure is required by Applicable Law or stock exchange rule, the Party intending to make such disclosure shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with Applicable Law or stock exchange rule to consult with Sellers or Purchaser, as applicable, with respect to the text thereof.

SECTION 8.6 Excluded Trademarks.

(a) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that as between Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers and their Affiliates, on the other hand, all right, title and interest in and to the Excluded Trademarks are, and following the Closing will continue to be, owned exclusively by Sellers and their Affiliates. Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not have any rights in or to any Excluded Trademarks, and Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not use any Excluded Trademarks.

39

(b) Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser will ensure that the Excluded Trademarks or any other word that is similar or reasonably likely to be confused with an Excluded Trademark are removed from the Sites.

(c) Purchaser will remove or cause to be removed product names, IP‑addresses, internet presences and other features which presently include any Excluded Trademark without undue delay on or after the Closing Date, in order to ensure that any Excluded Trademark or any other word that is similar or reasonably likely to be confused with an Excluded Trademark will no longer be included in these features. Such change of name shall immediately thereafter be filed with the relevant company or trade register.

(d) Purchaser will remove all Excluded Trademarks from all stationery, marketing documentation, domain names, e-mail addresses and all other external written communications, buildings, plant, machinery, vehicles, products and packaging.

(e) From the day following the Closing Date, Purchaser will make clear on all stationery, marketing materials, websites and all other external communications (including email and other forms of electronic communications) that ownership of the Assets has been changed to a new owner.

SECTION 8.7 Regulatory Filings.

(a) Within thirty (30) days after execution of this Agreement or as otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties, Sellers and Purchaser shall file or cause to be filed with the Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice any notifications required to be filed under the HSR Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the Transaction, as well as any notifications or filings required to be submitted with the states in which any Real Property is located. Sellers and Purchaser shall consult with each other as to the appropriate time for filing such notifications, shall agree upon the timing of such filings, and shall respond promptly to any requests for additional information made by either of such agencies. Purchaser shall pay the filing fees under the HSR Act and under any comparable state laws and regulations. Purchaser and Sellers shall each bear their respective costs (including legal fees) for the preparation of any filing.

(b) Purchaser shall give Sellers reasonable advance notice of any notification, submission or other communication which it proposes to make or submit to any antitrust or competition authority and provide Sellers with copies of a draft notification, submission or correspondence and any supporting documentation or information reasonably requested by Sellers, provided that Purchaser shall not be required to provide Sellers with any Confidential Information. Purchaser hereby agrees to consider any comments of Sellers to any such notification, submission or communication and to revise such notification, submission or communication in accordance with any such comments. Purchaser further agrees to keep Sellers fully informed as to the progress of any notification made in order to obtain the Regulatory Approvals. Sellers and their advisors shall be entitled to communicate with, and make any filings and written submissions to, any antitrust or competition authority

40

deemed necessary or expedient by Sellers and to attend all meetings with any antitrust or competition authority or other Persons or bodies (unless prohibited by the authority or other Person or body) and make oral submissions at such meetings provided that Sellers provide to Purchaser the same opportunity for review and comment as described above.

(c) The Parties shall reasonably cooperate and each shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts for obtaining the Regulatory Approvals and, in particular, shall undertake the steps set forth in Section 8.7(d) below to avoid or eliminate an impediment under any antitrust or competition law that may be asserted by any antitrust or competition authority so as to enable the Parties to close the Transaction. Except as provided for in this Agreement, no Party has any right to rescind or reject consummation and closing of the Transaction or demand adjustments of the terms of this Agreement due to changes to the regulatory framework applicable to the Assets, or changes of law including, without limitation Tax Law or its application.

(d) Purchaser (i) shall propose to Sellers, the applicable Governmental Authority and any other authorities any and all commitments, obligations, restrictions or conditions by Purchaser that would be necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust or competition Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority, (ii) undertakes to accept any and all commitments, obligations, restrictions or conditions that any Governmental Authority may decide to impose, request or propose in order to grant the necessary antitrust or competition clearance expeditiously, and (iii) undertakes to proceed in a highly responsive, resolute and proactive manner to any Governmental Authority’s total or partial refusal to provide antitrust or competition clearance, particularly by submitting any commitments, obligations, restrictions or conditions which are likely to result in the Governmental Authority’s antitrust or competition clearance; provided that Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, at its sole cost, resolve objections and comply with all restrictions and conditions, if any, imposed or requested by any Governmental Authority in connection with granting any necessary antitrust or competition clearance or terminating any applicable waiting period, including (A) agreeing to sell, divest, hold separate, license, cause a third party to acquire, or otherwise dispose of, any subsidiary, operations, divisions, businesses, product lines, customers or assets of Purchaser or its Affiliates contemporaneously with or after the Closing and regardless as to whether a third party purchaser has been identified or approved prior to Closing (a “Divestiture”), (B) taking or committing to take such other actions that may limit the freedom of action of any of Purchaser or its Affiliates with respect to, or its ability to retain, one or more of its operations, divisions, businesses, product lines, customers or assets, including terminating any contract, agreement or other business relationship, (C) entering into any Order, consent decree or other agreement to effectuate any of the foregoing, and (D) negotiating in good faith with all Governmental Authorities and all third parties in connection with a Divestiture or any other matter referred to in this Section 8.7(d) in order to enter into definitive agreements with all such Persons as promptly as practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Governmental Authority shall impose any commitments, obligations, restrictions or conditions upon Purchaser or its Affiliates to obtain such antitrust or competition clearance or terminate the applicable waiting

41

period and the aggregate financial impact upon Purchaser, its Affiliates of such commitments, obligations, restrictions or conditions is greater than an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Base Price, Purchaser shall not be obligated to accept such commitments, obligations, restrictions and conditions. All risks, costs and expenses, including Purchaser’s attorney’s fees, in connection with such proceedings, if any, for approval of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement by the Governmental Authority shall be Purchaser’s responsibility, provided, however, that if Sellers choose to participate in such proceedings, they shall bear their own costs and expenses.

SECTION 8.8 Title.

(a) Easements. At Closing, subject to the provisions that follow in this Section 8.8(a) and in Section 8.8(b), Sellers shall assign to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall accept assignment from Sellers, all of Sellers’ interest in the Easements to the extent that such interest is transferable, pursuant to one or more assignment instruments in the form mutually agreed by Sellers and Purchaser. For those Easements (other than any Franchise Agreements) set forth on Schedule 8.8(a) (as such schedule is updates as of the Closing Date), Sellers shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain prior to Closing such consents and/or approvals as are required to assign such Easements to Purchaser, provided that, with respect to Sellers’ foregoing obligations, (i) Sellers shall not be required to incur any expense beyond Sellers’ usual overhead administrative expense, (ii) Sellers shall not be required to make any compensation to the grantor for the assignment or transfer of such Easements, (iii) Purchaser shall cooperate in obtaining any such consents or approvals, and (iv) each Party shall execute any reasonable documentation requested by the parties whose consent or approval may be required. For Easements that cannot be assigned or transferred by Seller (including all Franchise Agreements in respect of the Assets), Purchaser shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain its own such Easements prior to Closing (the “New Easements”).

(b) If Sellers, despite the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts, cannot, on or prior to Closing, obtain all consents and/or approvals required to assign to Purchaser any of the Easements identified in Schedule 8.8(a), and to the extent that Purchaser has not obtained the New Easements, Purchaser shall at Closing, pending issuance of all consents and/or approvals contemplated by this Section 8.8, take conditional assignment from Sellers of such Easements identified in Schedule 8.8(a) with respect to which Sellers have not obtained the consents and/or approvals contemplated by this Section 8.8 to the extent such conditional assignment is (i) permitted by Applicable Law, (ii) will not result in termination or cancelation of such Easement and (iii) will not result in a Liability to either Party (such Easements, the “Conditionally Assigned Easements”). Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to modify the Easement assignment instruments (in the agreed form) to reflect the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence. In the case of any (i) Conditionally Assigned Easements or (ii) New Easements that have not been obtained by Purchaser prior to Closing, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Purchaser shall to the extent commercially practical and legally and contractually permissible agree following Closing on alternative operating arrangements as set forth on Schedule 8.8(b).

42

(c) Title Insurance. Purchaser will furnish and pay the premium for a standard title insurance policy, subject to Permitted Encumbrances, issued by the Title Company in an amount equal to the portion of the Purchase Price that is allocated to the Owned Real Property, naming Purchaser as the proposed insured. Any abstracting, title certification, and charges for title examination will be at Purchaser’s expense. Purchaser shall cause the Title Company to deliver to Purchaser, with a copy to Sellers, a title commitment (or, as applicable, an update of the title commitment) (the “Title Commitment”) setting forth the status of title to each Owned Real Property on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the Effective Date.

(d) Survey. Purchaser shall cause to be prepared at its expense a current ALTA land title survey of each of the Refinery and the Terminals (“Survey”), by a duly licensed land surveyor and professional engineer satisfactory to the Title Company. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Survey completed 60 days prior to the Closing. Upon completion of the Survey, Purchaser shall promptly deliver three (3) prints thereof to Sellers and at least one (1) print to the Title Company. The Survey will (i) show the location of all streets, roads, railroads, creeks or other water courses, fences, easements, rights-of-way and other encumbrances or encroachments on or adjacent to each of the Refinery and the Terminals, including all of the title matters shown on the Title Commitment and (ii) set forth a certified legal description of each of the Refinery and the Terminals.

(e) Title Exceptions.

(i) Within ten (10) Business Days after the date upon which Purchaser has received any draft Title Commitment or Survey (the “Initial Objection Date”), Purchaser’s counsel shall notify Sellers’ counsel in writing of any title matters (subject to the last sentence of this Section 8.8(e)(i)) shown on such draft Title Commitment or Survey that (A) materially impair the use or value of any Owned Real Property (other than any pipeline pump stations), as applicable, and (B) are not Permitted Encumbrances (collectively referred to as “Material Title Exceptions”). With respect to any matter affecting title first appearing in any draft update to any Title Commitment in respect of such Owned Real Property, which draft update is first received by Purchaser’s counsel ten (10) Business Days prior to or on or after the Initial Objection Date, Purchaser’s counsel shall notify the Sellers’ counsel of any such matter that Purchaser believes constitutes Material Title Exceptions within ten (10) days after receipt of such update (such date and the Initial Objection Date are sometimes referred to herein as the “Objection Date”). If Purchaser fails to give an objection notice pursuant to this Section 8.8(e) with respect to any matter shown in any draft Title Commitment or Survey (or any draft update thereto) with respect to such Owned Real Property on or before the applicable Objection Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived its right to object to such matter as a Material Title Exception. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties agree that (1) the items set forth on Schedule 8.8(e)(i), (2) any Environmental

43

Liability and (3) any regulatory or Permit matter necessary for the ownership or use of any Owned Real Property shall not be deemed to be Material Title Exceptions.

(ii) No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall be deemed to have removed, satisfied or cured a Material Title Exception if, in Sellers’ sole and absolute discretion, Sellers either: (A) took such actions as are commercially reasonable to remove, satisfy or cure (of record or otherwise, as appropriate) such Material Title Exception; or (B) caused any applicable title company to remove such Material Title Exception as an exception to title in any new or updated Title Commitment or policy to be issued at or around the Closing (including by providing affirmative insurance). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Sellers shall not be required and are not obligated to bring any Legal Proceedings, convey or acquire any interest in real property, incur any expense or liability with respect to the removal or cure of Material Title Exceptions or take any other action of any kind or nature to render title to any of the Owned Real Properties free and clear of any title or survey exceptions, objections or encumbrances, and Purchaser shall have no right of specific performance or other relief against Sellers to cause any Material Title Exceptions to be satisfied or cured; provided however, Sellers shall be obligated to cure mortgages and monetary liens in respect of the Owned Real Properties.

(f) Map Act. As of the Closing Date, with respect to each Owned Real Property, Sellers agree either to (i) convey a parcel in accordance with the California Subdivision Map Act, California Government Code Section 66410 et seq. (the “Map Act”), or (ii) qualify the parcel (or qualify the transfer thereof pursuant to this Agreement) for an exemption or other exception to the Map Act. Prior to the Closing Date, subject to the provisions of this Section 8.8, Sellers shall have completed any actions necessary to transfer the Owned Real Property pursuant to this Agreement in compliance with the Map Act and any local implementing procedures, including without limitation, the recordation of a certificate of compliance, final subdivision map, parcel map, lot line adjustment, qualification for an exemption or exception to the Map Act, or other action reasonably necessary. In addition, in either case, the Title Policies for each Owned Real Property for which a Map Act issue has been raised shall include affirmative endorsement coverage relating to compliance with the Map Act, and Sellers shall cooperate and coordinate with the Title Company and provide any instruments, affidavits, agreements or documents as may be reasonably required by the Title Company to ensure that each Title Policy includes such affirmative Map Act endorsement coverage, with the cost of such endorsement to be paid by Purchaser. Purchaser will cooperate at Sellers’ request in any efforts to comply with the Map Act or obtain or qualify for an exemption or exception thereto. Neither Sellers nor Purchaser shall have the right to waive this Section.

SECTION 8.9 Permits and Corrective Action Orders. Schedule 8.9 sets forth a list of Permits and Environmental Permits that the Parties have mutually determined will be necessary for Purchaser to obtain prior to Closing in connection with the Transaction for which consent to assignment or continuation is required (each, a “Required Permit”). It shall be

44

Purchaser’s responsibility to obtain the issuance or transfer of all Required Permits (including modification and transfer of Corrective Action Orders) and other operational permits necessary for the continued operation of Assets and Sellers shall reasonably cooperate in Purchaser’s efforts to obtain the Required Permits. If any such Required Permit is not obtained prior to Closing, Sellers shall (and shall cause its applicable Affiliates to) cooperate with Purchaser or its designees and both Purchaser and Sellers shall continue to use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such Required Permit and assignments or replacements as promptly as possible. To the extent the transfer of any Required Permit shall require the consent of any other Person, this Agreement shall not constitute a contract to transfer the same if an attempted transfer would constitute a breach thereof or give rise to any right of acceleration or termination. In addition, Sellers will, if necessary, notify any Governmental Authority of the transfer of ownership of the Assets after the Closing.

SECTION 8.10 Allocation of Carrier Obligations and Proceeds. The Pipelines may contain petroleum product which is held for the account of non‑Affiliate shipper(s). It is understood that title to such contents of the Pipelines will remain with the non-Affiliate shipper(s) and that Purchaser assumes the obligation to deliver such contents in accordance with Sellers’ existing arrangements with the non-Affiliate shipper(s), whether under a published tariff or a private transportation or storage agreement, complete copies of which Sellers have provided in the Data Room. Further, to the extent that petroleum products have been offered for shipment in the Pipelines under such published tariff or pursuant to rights under a private transportation agreement, but are not yet delivered to Sellers, Purchaser shall receive those products for transportation in the ordinary course of business. Tariff charges for transportation during the month of sale shall be allocated between Sellers and Purchaser on the basis of the number of days that each Party owns the Pipelines during the month of sale, provided that payments of such charges shall be allocated and divided between Sellers and Purchaser only after receipt thereof, unless received prior to the Closing Date.

SECTION 8.11 Contact with Competitor, Contractor, Etc. Prior to Closing, without the prior written consent of Sellers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), none of Purchaser, any Affiliate of Purchaser or any of their respective Representatives shall initiate contact any competitor, contractor, vendor, supplier, distributor, customer, agent or representative of Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates or any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over any of the foregoing, in each case, for the purpose of discussing the Assets, this Agreement or the Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Purchaser nor any Affiliate of Purchaser shall be restricted in its ability to have contact with any competitor, contractor, vendor, supplier, distributor or customer of Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates to the extent Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser has had contact prior to the Effective Date, but solely to the extent such contact does not violate the foregoing sentence of this Section 8.11.

SECTION 8.12 Casualty.

(a) In the event that there is an occurrence of a Casualty or a Taking during the Interim Period, Sellers shall notify Purchaser thereof as soon as reasonably practicable.

(b) In the event of a Casualty or a Taking during the Interim Period, Sellers shall elect, at their option, to either (i) repair or replace or make adequate provision

45

for the repair or replacement of the affected Asset at Sellers’ cost prior to the Closing, in which case the Purchaser’s obligation to effect the Closing shall not be affected, but the Closing Date shall be deferred until ten (10) Business Days after repairs or replacement have been completed and the affected Asset has been restored to at least a substantially comparable performance in all material respects as compared to that prior to the Casualty or Taking, or (ii) negotiate with the Purchaser to reduce the Purchase Price by an amount agreed to by Sellers and the Purchaser to reflect the cost to repair or replace the affected Asset (the “Repair Costs”), in which case, the Closing Date and the Long Stop Date shall not be deferred unless there is a Repair Cost Dispute as provided in Section 8.12(d).

(c) If Sellers elect to proceed with Section 8.12(b)(ii) and Sellers and the Purchaser agree on the Repair Costs within fifteen (15) days of the Purchaser’s receipt of Sellers’ notice of the Casualty or Taking, as the case may be (the “Repair Negotiation Period”), the Purchaser’s obligation to effect the Closing shall not be affected, but the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Repair Costs so agreed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Parties mutually agree that the Repair Costs are greater than an amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of the Base Price, either Sellers or the Purchaser may elect, by giving written notice to the other of such election within five (5) Business Days of the expiration of the Repair Negotiation Period, to terminate this Agreement without further obligation under this Agreement (other than those sections which expressly survive termination, which shall continue in effect).

(d) If Sellers and the Purchaser do not agree on the Repair Costs within the Repair Negotiation Period (a “Repair Cost Dispute”), either Party may request an engineering company mutually agreed to by the Parties or identified on Schedule 8.12(d) (which engineering company shall be deemed acceptable to Sellers and the Purchaser) to evaluate the affected assets and deliver to the Purchaser and Sellers its written estimate of the Repair Costs (the “Third-Party Estimate”) within fifteen (15) days after the end of the Repair Negotiation Period.

(i) If the Third-Party Estimate is equal to or less than an amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of the Base Price, the Purchaser’s obligation to proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall not be affected and the Parties shall submit the Repair Cost Dispute to binding arbitration under the dispute resolution procedures in Section 16.4 for resolution after the Closing, with no reduction of the Purchase Price at Closing and a post-Closing adjustment to the Purchase Price equal to the finally-determined Repair Costs.

(ii) If the Third-Party Estimate is greater than an amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of the Base Price, either Sellers or the Purchaser may elect, by giving written notice to the other of election within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the Third-Party Estimate, to terminate this Agreement without further obligation under this Agreement (other than those sections which expressly survive termination, which shall continue in effect). If neither Party terminates, the Parties shall submit the Repair Cost Dispute to binding arbitration under the dispute resolution procedures

46

in Section 16.4 for resolution after the Closing, with no reduction of the Purchase Price at Closing and a post-Closing adjustment to the Purchase Price equal to the finally-determined Repair Costs.

(e) In the event of a Taking where the award that may be made in such proceeding has not been previously paid to Sellers, Purchaser shall, from and after Closing, diligently pursue from any condemner the entire award(s) that may be made in any such proceeding and shall be entitled to collect such award(s), without deduction, to be paid out as follows: subject to actual receipt of such award(s) by Purchaser and within ten (10) Business Days of such receipt, (i) Purchaser shall pay to Sellers all such amounts, up to the amount Sellers incurred for all repairs or replacements under Section 8.12(b)(i) or the amount of the Purchase Price reduction under Section 8.12(b)(ii), and (ii) the Purchaser shall be entitled to retain the balance (if any) of such award(s).

(f) Any adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 8.12(b)(ii) which is necessary to reflect a final determination of Repair Costs after the Closing shall be made as follows: (i) an adjustment in favor of Purchaser shall be paid in immediately available funds by Sellers to Purchaser; and (ii) an adjustment in favor of Sellers shall be paid in immediately available funds to the extent the Purchase Price had been reduced pursuant to this Section 8.12. Any such reduction, refund or payment shall be made within ten (10) Business Days after such final determination.

(g) In the event of a Repair Cost Dispute, the Closing Date and the Long Stop Date shall be deferred until (i) ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Third-Party Estimate, or (ii) if Sellers elect the option in Section 8.12(b)(i), as provided therein.

SECTION 8.13 Municipally Financed Property.

(a) Sellers have informed Purchaser that certain of the Assets described on Schedule 8.13 (the “Municipally Financed Property”) have been financed with the proceeds of certain bonds (the “Bonds”) issued as part of financings on November 14, 2000, March 16, 2001 and February 1, 2007. The Bonds have maturity dates of April 1, 2017 and December 1 2029, Sellers have provided Purchaser copies of the relevant agreements and the final Offering Circular issued in connection with the Bonds and copies of the relevant agreements issued in connection with the Bonds. (Such documents are listed on Schedule 8.13(a)).

(b) Purchaser represents and warrants to Sellers that it has no present intention of allowing the disposal or abandonment of the Municipally Financed Property nor of directing the use of the Municipally Financed Property for purposes other than pollution control (a “Qualifying Purpose”) and that it intends to cause the Municipally Financed Property to be operated as pollution control facilities.

(c) Purchaser shall have no Liability under the Bonds.

47

(d) Purchaser agrees that if any of the Municipally Financed Property is retired from service, or ceases to be used for the Qualifying Purposes, it will provide written notice to Sellers within ten (10) days of the decision to retire such property or the date such property ceases to be used for such Qualifying Purpose, describing in such detail as Sellers may reasonably require the facilities or equipment retired from service or ceasing to be used for a Qualifying Purpose and the use, if any, that is intended to be made of such property. Purchaser further agrees to notify Sellers within ten (10) days of the occurrence of any of the following events and Purchaser shall not be obligated to take any further action with respect to the Bonds:

(i) the Municipally Financed Property is damaged or destroyed to such an extent that either (A) the required restoration and repair could not reasonably be expected to be completed within a period of six (6) months after commencement of restoration or repair, (B) Purchaser (or any subsequent assignee) is prevented or would likely be prevented from using the Municipally Financed Property for its normal purposes for a period of six (6) months or more or (C) the cost of restoration and repair would exceed twenty million dollars ($20,000,000);

(ii) title to the whole or any part of the Municipally Financed Property or the use of possession thereof is taken or condemned by a Governmental Entity to such an extent that Purchaser (or any subsequent assignee) is prevented or would likely be prevented from using the Municipally Financed Property for its normal purposes for a period of six (6) months or more;

(iii) changes, which Purchaser cannot reasonably control or overcome, in the economic availability of materials, supplies, labor, equipment and other properties and things necessary for the efficient operation of the Municipally Financed Property as pollution control or sewage facilities shall have occurred, or technological or other changes shall have occurred, which render the continued operation of the Municipally Financed Property uneconomic for such purposes; or

(iv) unreasonable burdens of excessive Liabilities are imposed upon Purchaser (or any subsequent assignee) with respect to the Municipally Financed Property or the operation of the Municipally Financed Property, including, Taxes other than such Taxes as are currently imposed on the Closing Date, including ad valorem taxes imposed on the Closing Date, upon privately owned property used for the same general purposes as the Municipally Financed Property.

(e) Purchaser agrees not to sell or otherwise transfer the Municipally Financed Property to any Person unless the buyer or transferee agrees to comply with the requirements of this Section 8.13. Purchaser further agrees that, upon any sale, conveyance or other transfer of the Municipally Financed Property or transfer of control of the Municipally Financed Property to any Person, it shall include a provision similar to this Section 8.13 in any document of sale, conveyance or other transfer of the Municipally Financed Property or any document transferring control of the Municipally Financed Property.

(ii) result from (or are increased by) a change of accounting policy or practice or the length of any accounting period introduced after the Closing Date.

55

(i) the underlying facts, matters or circumstances in respect of the breach have been disclosed in the Due Diligence Materials to any of Purchaser’s knowledge parties set forth on Schedule 10.6(c)(i) prior to the Closing Date; or

(ii) Purchaser waives such breach by consummating the Transaction even though any of Purchaser’s knowledge parties set forth on Schedule 10.6(c)(i) had knowledge of the underlying facts, matters or circumstances in respect of the breach and did not expressly reserve, in writing prior to the Closing Date, its rights under this Agreement with respect to such breach.

(d) A Party shall not be liable for a Loss if a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator shall have determined by final judgment that such Loss (or a portion thereof) resulted from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person seeking indemnification.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Party shall be liable to the other for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages of such Indemnified Party, including loss of revenue, income or profits, diminution of value or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach hereof and, in particular, no “multiple of profits” or “multiple of cash flow” or similar valuation methodology shall be used in calculating the amount of any Losses, unless, in each such case, legally awarded, or legally required to be paid, to a third-party in respect of a claim pursuant to the indemnification obligations hereunder.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article X, after the Closing (i) neither Party shall have liability to the other Party for Losses under Section 10.2(a), Section 10.2(d) or Section 10.3(a) until the amount of Losses resulting from any single or aggregated claims arising out of the same breach (with respect to Section 10.2(a) or Section 10.3(a)) or the same facts, events or circumstances, exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Mini-Basket”), and then, in such case, the entire amount of such Losses shall be indemnified, (ii) neither Party shall have liability to the other Party’s Indemnified Parties under Section 10.2(a), Section 10.2(d) or Section 10.3(a) until, excluding claims that are less than the Mini-Basket, the amount of Losses incurred relating thereto exceed, in the aggregate, Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) (the “Threshold”), whereupon the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for the full amount of such Losses, and (iii) in no event shall the aggregate liability of Sellers under Section 10.2(a) or Section 10.2(d) exceed an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Base Price (the “Cap”), except that the aggregate liability of Sellers in respect of the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.6 shall be the Base Price.

(g) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article X shall be net of any amounts actually recovered or recoverable by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies or indemnity or contribution agreements or otherwise with respect to such Losses. The Indemnified Party shall seek full recovery under

56

all insurance policies covering any Losses to the same extent as it would if such Losses were not subject to indemnification hereunder. In the event that an insurance recovery is made by any party with respect to any Losses for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder and has received funds in the amount of the Losses or portion thereof, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery shall be made promptly to the Indemnifying Party.

(h) In calculating the amount of Losses under this Article X, there shall be deducted an amount equal to any Tax benefit to the party claiming such Losses or to any of its Affiliates from being able to claim a Tax loss or Tax credit as a result of such Losses and the amount of any such Losses shall be increased by any Tax detriment incurred by the party or its Affiliates attributable to the receipt or the right to receive an indemnification payment with respect to such Losses. The amount of any such Tax benefit or Tax detriment shall reflect the present value of such Tax benefit or Tax detriment (whether realized in the year the indemnification payment is made or later), computed as of the date of any indemnification payment (using the interest rate determined under Section 6621(a)(2) of the Code for the period in which the payment is made, and assuming the indemnified party has incurred such liability or has sufficient taxable income or other Tax attributes to permit the utilization of any such Tax benefit at the earliest possible time, and assuming that the indemnified party’s applicable combined effective Tax rate is forty percent (40%) for each taxable period).

SECTION 10.7 No Duplication. Any amounts payable pursuant to the indemnification obligations under this Article X shall be paid without duplication and in no event shall any Party hereto be indemnified under different provisions of this Agreement for the same Losses.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control as contemplated in this Section 10.8, the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed of the status and progress of the Third Party Claim, and the Indemnified Party shall continue to have the right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or defense of such Third Party Claim and to retain counsel to act on its behalf, provided that the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party requests the Indemnified Party to so participate, or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that would make such separate

57

representation advisable. The Indemnified Party shall co-operate with the Indemnifying Party so as to permit the Indemnifying Party to conduct such negotiation, settlement and defense and for this purpose shall preserve all relevant documents in relation to the Third Party Claim, allow the Indemnifying Party access on reasonable notice to inspect and take copies of all such documents and require its personnel to provide such statements as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably require and to attend and give evidence at any trial or hearing in respect of the Third Party Claim.

(c) If, having elected to assume control of the negotiation, settlement or defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party thereafter fails to conduct such negotiation, settlement or defense with reasonable diligence, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume such control and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all costs of the Indemnified Party and shall be bound by the results obtained by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim (including prosecution of appeals of any Order until final).

(d) If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the exclusive right to contest, settle or pay the amount claimed and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all costs of the Indemnified Party and shall be bound by the results obtained by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim; provided that in respect of any Category B-Liability, no settlement of such Category B-Liability shall be made without the written consent of Sellers if Sellers have acknowledged Purchaser’s indemnification right in the event of such Category B-Liability. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the negotiation, settlement or defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

SECTION 10.9 Set-off. Neither Party shall be entitled to set off the amount of any Losses subject to indemnification under this Agreement against any other amounts payable by such Party to the other Party whether under this Agreement or otherwise.

SECTION 12.1 ExxonMobil Policies. Purchaser acknowledges that Exxon Mobil Corporation maintains a worldwide program of property and liability insurance coverage for itself and its Affiliates, including Sellers. This program has been designed to achieve a coordinated risk management package for the entire ExxonMobil corporate group. The program consists principally of four types of policies:

(a) policies issued to Exxon Mobil Corporation or its predecessors;

(b) policies issued directly to Affiliates by ExxonMobil’s wholly-owned insurance company, Ancon Insurance Company, Inc., (herein referred to as “ExxonMobil’s Captive Insurer”);

(c) policies issued to Affiliates by locally admitted insurers which are reinsured by ExxonMobil’s Captive Insurer; and

(d) policies issued to Affiliates by locally admitted insurers which are self-insured by way of retrospective premiums paid by the relevant Affiliate.

All of the insurance policies through which the worldwide program of coverage is presently or has previously been provided by or to Exxon Mobil Corporation, its predecessors or affiliates are herein referred to collectively as the “ExxonMobil Policies”.

SECTION 12.2 Purchaser’s Insurance. It is understood and agreed by Purchaser that from and after the Closing:

(a) No insurance coverage shall be provided under the ExxonMobil Policies to Purchaser, or the Assets;

(b) Any and all policies insured or reinsured by any of ExxonMobil’s Captive Insurer which, but for this provision, would have insured the Assets shall be deemed terminated, commuted and cancelled ab initio; and

(c) No claims regarding any matter whatsoever, whether or not arising from events occurring prior to the Closing, shall be made by Purchaser against or with respect to any of the ExxonMobil Policies regardless of their date of issuance.

SECTION 12.3 Post-Closing Insurance Coverage. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser’s insurance policy(ies) shall: (1) name Sellers and their Affiliates as additional insureds for liabilities arising from or assumed under this Agreement; and (2) be primary as to all other policies (including any deductibles or self-insured retentions).

Such indemnity shall cover, without limitation, any claim by an insurer for reinsurance, retrospective premium payments or prospective premium increases attributable to any such claim.

Purchaser is bound by the limitations set out in such Technology Agreements and nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to expand any of those rights. For the avoidance of doubt, any Intellectual Property of Sellers at the Sites prior to the Closing Date that is not specified in the Technology Agreements shall be deemed to be excluded, and shall be returned or deemed returned to Sellers and excluded from use by Purchaser.

ARTICLE XIV TAX MATTERS

SECTION 14.1 Property Taxes. With respect to any real property, personal property, ad valorem and other similar Tax (“Property Taxes”), including payments in-lieu-of Property Taxes, assessed on any of the Assets or the Sites for a Straddle Period, the liability for such Property Taxes shall be prorated on a daily basis between Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, as of the Closing Date, (a) with Sellers being liable for the portion of such Property Taxes equal to the product of (i) the amount of such Property Taxes for the entirety of the Straddle Period, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Period, and (b) with Purchaser being liable for the remainder of such Property Taxes. On or prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser and Sellers shall, in good faith, estimate the amount of Property Taxes payable by Sellers and Purchaser with regard to Straddle Periods pursuant to this Section 14.1 (the “Estimated Property Taxes”), and (A) to the extent that Sellers have not prepaid any such Property Taxes, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the amount due to Sellers at Closing for the amount of the Estimated Property Taxes payable by Sellers with regard to such Straddle Periods and (B) in the event that Sellers have prepaid any such Property, Sellers shall receive a credit from Purchaser at the Closing for the amount of the Estimated Property Taxes prepaid by Sellers with regard to the Estimated Property Taxes payable by Purchaser for such Straddle Period. If the Property Taxes for a Straddle Period cannot be reasonably determined prior to the Closing because the applicable Tax rate or assessment with respect to the applicable Assets or Sites is not fixed for such Straddle Period, the amount of the Estimated Property Taxes shall be determined based upon the amount of the applicable Property Taxes for the preceding Tax period; provided, that Sellers and Purchaser shall recalculate and re-prorate said Property Taxes and make the necessary adjustments and payments promptly (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days before the Property Taxes are due to be paid (taking into account any valid extensions)) following the issuance, and on the basis, of the actual Property Tax bills received for such Straddle Period. To the extent that any Seller (or any Affiliate of any Seller), from and after the Closing, receives any xxxx, assessment or other notice of any such Property Taxes due for any Straddle Period, Sellers shall promptly forward a copy of such xxxx, assessment or other notice to Purchaser.

Such notice shall be in writing and shall contain all relevant factual information describing the scope of the Tax audit or the asserted Tax liability in sufficient detail and shall include copies of any self-assessment notice or other document received from any Governmental Authority in respect of any such Tax audit or asserted Tax liability.

Upon request by Sellers, Purchaser shall appoint counsel proposed by Sellers as an authorized representative with respect to all Tax Contests and grant such counsel authorization entitling it to receive all letters, notices, Tax assessments and announcements pertaining thereto. If Sellers do not elect to direct a Tax Contest or fail to notify Purchaser of the election as herein provided, Purchaser may not settle or compromise any asserted Tax liability for a pre-Closing period without the consent of Sellers, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld.

SECTION 14.4 Tax Covenants by Purchaser.

(a) Purchaser agrees that, except as legally required by a Tax authority or otherwise required by law and after having given Sellers the opportunity to intervene,

(i) keep all Books and Records relating to any period starting prior to or through the Closing Date in accordance with and during the periods required under applicable statutory law or Tax regulations; and

The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

SECTION 16.9 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transaction is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.

Each Party agrees that for any matter outside of matters the jurisdiction of Section 16.4 (i) the action or proceeding relating to this Agreement will be brought in any federal court of competent jurisdiction in the New York, and for that purpose now irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such New York court; (ii) that it irrevocably waives any right to, and will not, oppose any such New York action or proceeding on any jurisdictional basis, including forum non conveniens; and (iii) not to oppose the enforcement against it in any other jurisdiction of any Order duly obtained from a New York federal court as contemplated by this Section 16.12.

SECTION 16.13 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and hereby agrees that any breach of this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by Sellers, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other under this Agreement. Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, hereby agree not to raise any objection to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, by Sellers, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement.

SECTION 16.15 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of, and be binding on, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither Party may assign or transfer, whether absolutely, by way of security or otherwise, all or any part of its respective rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that as long as the Guarantee in favor of Sellers is in full force in effect, Purchaser may, without the consent of Sellers, assign any or all of its rights hereunder to any of its Affiliates (although no such assignment shall relieve Purchaser of its obligations to Sellers hereunder).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall make available its employees to give depositions or testimony and shall furnish all documentary or other evidence that Sellers may reasonably request. Sellers shall reimburse Purchaser for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 16.16.

Each of the Parties acknowledge that such consent and waiver is voluntary, that it has been carefully considered, and that the Parties have consulted with counsel or have been advised they should do so in connection herewith.

SECTION 16.18 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and both of which taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. To evidence its execution of an original counterpart of this Agreement, a Party may send a copy of its original signature on the execution page hereof to the other Party by facsimile transmission or email and such transmission shall constitute delivery of an executed copy of this Agreement to the receiving Party.

SECTION 16.19 Electronic Signatures. Notwithstanding the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (15 U.S.C. Sec. 7001 et. seq.), the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, or any other Law relating to or enabling the creation, execution, delivery, or recordation of any Contract or signature by electronic means, and notwithstanding any course of conduct engaged in by the Parties, no Party shall be deemed to have executed this Agreement or other document contemplated thereby (including any amendment or other change thereto) unless and until such Party shall have executed this Agreement or other document on paper by a handwritten original signature or any other symbol executed or adopted by a Party with current intention to authenticate this Agreement or such other document contemplated.
