(iii) The Accounting Firm shall be required to make a determination with respect only to the Unresolved Merger Items, and in a manner consistent with this Section 2.9 and the Applicable Accounting Principles, and in no event shall the Accounting Firm’s determination of Unresolved Merger Items be for an amount outside the range of the parties’ disagreement. Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to the Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information pertaining to the Unresolved Merger Items as the Accounting Firm may request.

(iv) Parent shall revise the Proposed Final Merger Closing Statement to reflect the determination of the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.9(c). The “Final Merger Adjustment Amount” shall mean the Proposed Final Merger Adjustment Amount as revised pursuant to this Section 2.9(c).

(v) The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne in the same proportion as the aggregate dollar amount of the Unresolved Merger Items that are unsuccessfully disputed by each party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all of the Unresolved Merger Items submitted to the Accounting Firm.

(vi) Until the Final Merger Adjustment Amount is determined, each of Parent and ED&F shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate with, make their working papers, books, records and employees available to and otherwise assist each other party and its accountants and other representatives at reasonable times during such other party’s review of, and the resolution of any objections with respect to, the Proposed Final Merger Closing Statement.

(e) Interest, etc. Any amount payable pursuant to subclause (i) or subclause (ii) of Section 2.9(d) shall be increased by interest on such amount, compounded daily, at the Interest Rate from the Closing Date to and including the date of payment based on a 365 day year, with the amount of any interest also payable on the same date as the underlying amount pursuant to such subclause (i) or subclause (ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amount shall be paid pursuant to clauses (d) or (e) of this Section 2.9 until the Final Stock Sale Adjustment Amount is finally determined pursuant to Section 3.2(c).

Section 2.10. Capital Expenditure Adjustment.

(a) No later than 30 days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to ED&F a statement (the “Capex Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail the aggregate amount of Capital Expenditures incurred on an accrual basis by the Transferred Companies during the period from and including November 1, 2008 until the Closing (the “Capex Period”). Parent shall prepare the Capex Statement in accordance with the Applicable Accounting Principles. For purposes of any calculation of Capital Expenditures (including with respect to Budgeted Capital Expenditures and Actual Capital Expenditures) during the Capex Period pursuant to this Section 2.10, the amount of Capital Expenditures attributable to the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs shall be prorated in the basis of the number of days elapsed in such month as of and including the Closing Date.

(b) If ED&F does not give written notice of dispute (a “Capex Dispute Notice”) to Parent within 30 days after receiving the Capex Statement, the Capex Statement shall become final, binding and conclusive upon the parties. If ED&F gives a Capex Dispute Notice to Parent (which Capex Dispute Notice must set forth, in reasonable detail, the items and amounts in dispute (the “Disputed Capex Items”)) within such 30-day period, ED&F and Parent shall use reasonable efforts

to resolve the Disputed Capex Items during the 45-day period commencing on the date Parent receives the Capex Dispute Notice from ED&F. If the parties reach agreement with respect to any Disputed Capex Items within such 45-day period, Parent shall revise the Capex Statement to reflect such agreement. If ED&F and Parent do not obtain a final written resolution of all Disputed Capex Items within such 45-day period, then the unresolved Disputed Capex Items (“Unresolved Capex Items”) shall be submitted immediately to the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm shall be required to render a determination regarding the Unresolved Capex Items within 30 days after referral of the matter to the Accounting Firm, or as soon as practicable thereafter, which determination must be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in writing and must set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon ED&F, Parent and the other parties hereto absent manifest error, and judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced.

(c) The Accounting Firm shall be required to make a determination with respect only to the Unresolved Capex Items, and in a manner consistent with this Section 2.10 and the Applicable Accounting Principles, and in no event shall the Accounting Firm’s determination of Unresolved Capex Items be for an amount outside the range of the parties’ disagreement. Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to the Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information pertaining to the Unresolved Capex Items as the Accounting Firm may request.

(d) Parent shall revise the Capex Statement to reflect the determination of the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.10. The “Actual Capital Expenditures” shall mean the aggregate Capital Expenditures set forth on the Capex Statement as revised pursuant to this Section 2.10.

(e) The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne in the same proportion as the aggregate dollar amount of the Unresolved Capex Items that are unsuccessfully disputed by each party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all of the Unresolved Capex Items submitted to the Accounting Firm.

(f) Until the Capex Statement is finalized pursuant to this Section 2.10, each party shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate with, make their working papers, books, records and employees available to and otherwise assist each other party and its accountants and other representatives at reasonable times during such other party’s review of, and the resolution of any objections with respect to, the Capex Statement.

(g) No later than three Business Days after the date on which the Capex Statement is finalized pursuant to this Section 2.10, if the Budgeted Capital Expenditures exceed the Actual Capital Expenditures (the amount of such excess, the “Capex Shortfall Amount”), ED&F and Parent shall, and Parent shall cause Parent Founder to, execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent under the Stock Escrow Agreement an instruction letter referring to this Section 2.10, stating that a Capex Shortfall Amount exists and instructing the Escrow Agent to release from escrow and deliver to Parent for cancellation certificates representing that number of Series A Escrow Shares (rounded down if such number is not a whole number) equal to the result of (x) the Capex Shortfall Amount divided by (y) 5.5. Promptly upon receipt from the Escrow Agent of such certificates, Parent shall xxxx such certificates “canceled” and cancel and retire such Series A Escrow Shares and cause such cancellation and retirement to be reflected on its stock ledger. For this purpose, the Series A Escrow Shares shall be canceled and retired at their initial negotiated value and there shall be no right to substitute the Series A Escrow Shares to be released with other property.

(h) Any release and cancellation of Series A Escrow Shares in respect of a Capex Shortfall Amount pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Series A Merger Consideration for tax reporting purposes. Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.10(g) or (h) to the contrary, to the extent that it is commercially reasonable for ED&F and Parent to determine the proportion of any Capex Shortfall Amount that relates to the Purchased Companies, such amount shall be paid by ED&F or an affiliate to Parent in cash within 10 business days after the date that the Capex Statement is finalized pursuant to this Section 2.10, and the cancellation of Series A Escrow Shares with respect to this amount shall not occur unless such cash payment is not made to Parent within the allowable time period. Any Capex Shortfall Amount allocated to the Purchased Companies shall be treated as an adjustment to the Unadjusted Stock Sale Purchase Price for tax reporting purposes.

Section 2.11. Allocation of Merger Consideration. Within 90 days following execution of this Agreement, but in no event later than the Closing, the parties hereto, acting reasonably, shall agree upon the allocation of the Merger Consideration (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amount payable pursuant to Section 2.9(d) and any Series A Escrow Shares released from escrow in respect of a Capex Shortfall Amount pursuant to Section 2.10, as applicable) between Westway Terminal and Westway Feed for all purposes. To the extent that interest accrues or a price adjustment occurs following the final determination of the Final Merger Adjustment Amount, the parties hereto shall promptly make appropriate adjustments to such allocations, and such changed allocations shall then be the allocation that each party uses for all purposes, including the filing of any Tax Returns. No party to this Agreement may take any action that would call into question the bona fides of such final allocation.

Section 2.12. Delivery of Shares. At the Closing, Parent shall deposit or cause to be delivered to Holdings all of the Common Stock Merger Consideration and all of the Series A Merger Consideration with the exception of the Series A Escrow Shares, which Parent shall cause to be deposited into the Stock Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Stock Escrow Agreement.

Section 2.13. Adjustments to Exchange Ratios. The numbers of warrants, shares of Parent Common Stock and Parent Series A Preferred Stock specified in the recitals or any of the definitions set forth in ARTICLE I or required to be issued or exchanged hereunder shall be equitably adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Common Stock or Parent Preferred Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change (but excluding any such action taken in connection with the Transaction) with respect to Parent Common Stock or Parent Preferred Stock on or after the date hereof and prior to the date of issuance or payment thereof.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, each ED&F Party shall, and shall cause each Purchased Company Parent to, sell, assign, transfer, deliver and convey to a Buying Subsidiary, and Parent shall cause a Buying Subsidiary to purchase from such ED&F Party and such Purchased Company Parent, all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Purchased Companies owned by such ED&F Party and such Purchased Company Parent, free and clear of all Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances, which shares will collectively constitute all of the shares of capital stock of the Purchased Companies issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing.

Section 3.2. Stock Sale Consideration.

(a) The aggregate purchase price to be paid by Parent for the Purchased Companies is $103,000,000 (the “Unadjusted Stock Sale Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment as set forth in this Section 3.2. As adjusted as set forth in this Section 3.2, such aggregate purchase price is referred to herein as the “Adjusted Stock Sale Purchase Price.” For purposes of this Section 3.2:

(i) “Stock Sale Closing Date Net Indebtedness” means the amount required to repay in full all Indebtedness of the Purchased Companies as of immediately prior to the Closing less the Cash and Cash Equivalents of the Purchased Companies as of immediately prior to the Closing, calculated in accordance with the Applicable Accounting Principles; provided, however, that Stock Sale Closing Date Net Indebtedness shall not include any “reclass cash float” amounts to the extent such amounts are treated as a liability for purposes of calculating Stock Sale Net Working Capital.

(ii) “Stock Sale Net Working Capital” means the net working capital of the Purchased Companies as of immediately prior to the Closing, calculated in accordance with the Applicable Accounting Principles and using the same line items and sequence of calculation as set forth in the pro forma example of the calculation of net working capital set forth in Exhibit K-2.

(iii) “Stock Sale Adjustment Amount” means an amount equal to (x) the Stock Sale Net Working Capital minus (y) the sum of (A) the Stock Sale Closing Date Net Indebtedness and (B) the Stock Sale Reference Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the Stock Sale Adjustment Amount may be a negative number.

(iv) “Stock Sale Reference Amount” means negative $1,000,000.

(b) Estimated Stock Sale Consideration; Payments.

(i) At least ten days prior to the Closing Date, ED&F shall deliver to Parent a statement (the “Estimated Stock Sale Closing Statement”) consisting of (x) an estimated combined balance sheet of the Purchased Companies as of the Closing Date but without giving effect to the Closing in the form of, and including the line items set forth in, Exhibit L (the “Estimated Stock Sale Closing Balance Sheet”) and (y) a good faith estimated calculation in reasonable detail of the Stock Sale Adjustment Amount derived from the Estimated Stock Sale Closing Balance Sheet (the “Estimated Stock Sale Adjustment Amount”). ED&F shall prepare the Estimated Stock Sale Closing Statement in accordance with the Applicable Accounting Principles.

(ii) At the Closing, Parent shall pay, or shall cause one or more of its Affiliates to pay, to ED&F or its designee by Wire Transfer an amount equal to the sum of (x) the Unadjusted Stock Sale Purchase Price and (y) the Estimated Stock Sale Adjustment Amount (the “Estimated Stock Sale Consideration”).

(i) No later than 60 days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to ED&F a statement (the “Proposed Final Stock Sale Closing Statement”) consisting of (x) a combined balance sheet of the Purchased Companies as of the Closing Date but without giving effect to the Closing in the same form and including the same line items as the Estimated Stock Sale Closing Balance Sheet (the “Stock Sale Closing Balance Sheet”) and (y) a proposed calculation in reasonable detail of the Stock Sale Adjustment Amount derived from the Stock Sale Closing Balance Sheet (the “Proposed Final Stock Sale Adjustment Amount”). Parent shall prepare the Proposed Final Stock Sale Closing Statement in

accordance with the Applicable Accounting Principles and shall cause it to be in the same form and include the same line items as the Estimated Stock Sale Closing Statement.

(ii) If ED&F does not give written notice of dispute (a “Stock Sale Consideration Dispute Notice”) to Parent within 30 days after receiving the Proposed Final Stock Sale Closing Statement, the parties hereto agree that the Proposed Final Stock Sale Closing Statement shall become final, binding and conclusive upon the parties. If ED&F gives a Stock Sale Consideration Dispute Notice to Parent (which Stock Sale Consideration Dispute Notice must set forth, in reasonable detail, the items and amounts in dispute (the “Disputed Stock Sale Items”)) within such 30-day period, ED&F and Parent shall use reasonable efforts to resolve the Disputed Stock Sale Items during the 45-day period commencing on the date Parent receives such Stock Sale Consideration Dispute Notice from ED&F. ED&F, in preparing the Stock Sale Consideration Dispute Notice, and Parent, in any response thereto, may only object to the other’s proposal with respect to mathematical errors and the calculations set forth in the Proposed Final Stock Sale Closing Statement not being calculated in accordance with this Section 3.2. If the parties reach agreement with respect to any Disputed Stock Sale Items within such 45-day period, Parent shall revise the Proposed Final Stock Sale Closing Statement to reflect such agreement. If ED&F and Parent do not obtain a final written resolution of all Disputed Stock Sale Items within such 45-day period, then the unresolved Disputed Stock Sale Items (“Unresolved Stock Sale Items”) shall be submitted immediately to the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm shall be required to render a determination regarding the Unresolved Stock Sale Items within 30 days after referral of the matter to the Accounting Firm, or as soon as practicable thereafter, which determination must be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in writing and must set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon ED&F, Parent and the other parties hereto absent manifest error, and judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced.

(iii) The Accounting Firm shall be required to make a determination with respect only to the Unresolved Stock Sale Items, and in a manner consistent with this Section 3.2 and the Applicable Accounting Principles, and in no event shall the Accounting Firm’s determination of Unresolved Stock Sale Items be for an amount outside the range of the parties’ disagreement. Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to the Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information pertaining to the Unresolved Stock Sale Items as the Accounting Firm may request.

(iv) Parent shall revise the Proposed Final Stock Sale Closing Statement as appropriate to reflect the resolution of any objections thereto pursuant to this Section 3.2(c). The “Final Stock Sale Adjustment Amount” shall mean the Proposed Final Stock Sale Adjustment Amount as revised pursuant to this Section 3.2(c).

(v) The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne in the same proportion as the aggregate dollar amount of the Unresolved Stock Sale Items that are unsuccessfully disputed by ED&F or Parent, as the case may be (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all of the Unresolved Stock Sale Items submitted to the Accounting Firm.

(vi) Until the Final Stock Sale Adjustment Amount is finally determined, each of Parent and ED&F shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate with, make their working papers, books, records and employees available to and otherwise assist each other party and its accountants and other representatives at reasonable times during such other party’s review

of, and the resolution of any objections with respect to, the Proposed Final Stock Sale Closing Statement.

(d) Post-Closing Stock Sale Adjustment Payment. No later than three Business Days after the date on which the Final Stock Sale Adjustment Amount is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.9(c):

(i) if the Final Stock Sale Adjustment Amount exceeds the Estimated Stock Sale Adjustment Amount, Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to ED&F or its designee the amount of such excess by Wire Transfer; or

(ii) if the Estimated Stock Sale Adjustment Amount exceeds the Final Stock Sale Adjustment Amount, ED&F shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent or its designee the amount of such excess by Wire Transfer.

(e) Interest, etc. Any amount payable pursuant to subclause (i) or subclause (ii) of Section 3.2(d) shall be increased by interest on such amount, compounded daily, at the Interest Rate from the Closing Date to and including the date of payment based on a 365 day year, with the amount of any interest payable on the same date as the underlying amount pursuant to such subclause (i) or subclause (ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amount shall be paid pursuant to clauses (d) or (e) of this Section 3.2 until the Final Merger Adjustment Amount is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.9(c).

Section 3.3. Allocation of Stock Sale Consideration. Within 90 days following execution of this Agreement, but in no event later than the Closing, the parties hereto, acting reasonably, shall agree upon the allocation of (a) the Estimated Stock Sale Consideration, (b) any amount payable pursuant to Section 3.2(d) and (c) any cash paid (or deemed paid) to Parent in respect of a Capex Shortfall Amount pursuant to Section 2.10, as applicable, among the Purchased Companies for all purposes. To the extent that interest accrues or a price adjustment occurs following the final determination of the Final Stock Sale Adjustment Amount, the parties hereto shall promptly make appropriate adjustments to such allocations, and such changed allocations shall then be the allocation that each party uses for all purposes, including the filing of any Tax Returns. No party to this Agreement will take any action that would call into question the bona fides of such final allocation.

Each of the Transferred Companies is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions where the nature of the property owned or leased by it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect.

complete copies of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of each of the Transferred Companies, all as amended to date, have been previously delivered to Parent and the Merger Subs.

Section 5.2. Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by each of the ED&F Parties of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which each of the ED&F Parties is a party and the consummation by each of the ED&F Parties, the Transferred Companies and the Purchased Company Parents of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such ED&F Party, Transferred Company and Purchased Company Parent, as the case may be. This Agreement has been, and each Ancillary Agreement to which any of the ED&F Parties is a party will be, duly and validly executed and delivered by each ED&F Party that is a party thereto. Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto and thereto, this Agreement constitutes, and each Ancillary Agreement will when executed and delivered constitute, the valid and binding obligation of each ED&F Party that is party thereto, enforceable against such ED&F Party in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Without limiting the foregoing, except as set forth in Section 5.6 of the Disclosure Schedule, since the Balance Sheet Date, there has not occurred any action, event,

development, occurrence or failure to act that, if it had occurred after the date hereof, would have required the consent of Parent pursuant to Section 7.2.

(a) ED&F and Parent shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to make, on a timely basis, all registrations, filings and applications with, give all notices to, and obtain any approvals, orders, qualifications and waivers from a Governmental Authority necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, neither ED&F or any of its Affiliates nor Parent or any of its Affiliates shall be required to commence or be a plaintiff in any litigation or offer or grant any material accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any Person in connection with any such registration, filing, application, notice, approval, order, qualification or waiver. ED&F and Parent each shall pay half of all fees associated with such registrations, filings, applications, notices, approvals, orders, qualifications and waivers, including all fees payable in connection with the HSR Filing and any antitrust or competition filings in other jurisdictions, including under Council Regulation No. 139/2004 of the European Community.

The HSR Filing shall be in substantial compliance with the requirements of the HSR Act. Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other party to the extent necessary to assist the other party in the preparation of its HSR Filing, to request early termination of the waiting period required by the HSR Act and, if requested, use its commercially reasonable efforts to substantially comply with any requests for additional information or

documentary material that may be made under the HSR Act. Each of Parent and ED&F shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply as promptly as practicable with the Laws of any other Governmental Authority that are applicable to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and pursuant to which any consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with such Governmental Authority is necessary and make any necessary filings, notifications, reports, registrations or declarations with any such Governmental Authority or take any action required by such Governmental Authority as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of filing of the Proxy Statement with the SEC. Parent and ED&F shall use commercially reasonably efforts to furnish to each other all such information as is necessary to prepare any such registration, declaration or filing.

(c) Each of Parent and ED&F agrees that it will, if necessary to enable ED&F and Parent to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, use commercially reasonable efforts to defend against any suits, actions or proceedings, judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including by seeking to vacate or reverse any temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other legal restraint or prohibition entered or imposed by any court or other Governmental Authority that is not yet final and nonappealable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement will require or obligate any party or its Affiliates (i) to agree or otherwise become subject to any material limitations on (A) the right of Parent or its Affiliates effectively to control or operate the Business, (B) the right of Parent or its Affiliates to acquire or hold the Business, or (C) the right of Parent to exercise full rights of ownership of the Business and the Transferred Companies or (ii) to agree or otherwise be required to sell or otherwise dispose of, hold separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise), or divest itself of all or any portion of the assets or operations of the Business, ED&F or any of its Affiliates or Parent or any of its Affiliates. The parties agree that no representation, warranty or covenant of any of the parties to this Agreement shall be breached or deemed breached as a result of the failure by any party to this Agreement to take any of the actions specified in the preceding sentence. Without limitation of the foregoing, ED&F, Parent and their respective Affiliates shall not extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or any non-United States foreign antitrust merger control laws or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the other parties hereto.

(d) Each party shall (A) promptly notify the other party of any written communication to that party from the FTC, the Antitrust Division or any other Governmental Authority relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and, subject to applicable Law, permit the other party to review in advance and comment upon any proposed written communication to any of the foregoing and (B) furnish the other parties with copies of all correspondence, filings, and communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between them and their respective Affiliates on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) In the event any claim, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding by any Governmental Authority or other Person is commenced which questions the validity or legality of the Mergers, the Stock Sale or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or seeks damages in connection therewith, the parties agree to cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to defend against such claim, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding and, if an injunction or other order is issued in any such action, suit or other proceeding, to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such injunction or other order lifted, and to cooperate reasonably regarding any other impediment to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(f) Each party shall use all reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and to do or cause to be done all other things, necessary, proper or advisable in order for such party to fulfill and perform its respective obligations in respect of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party, to cause the conditions to their respective obligations set forth in Article VIII to be fulfilled and otherwise to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

Section 7.4. Public Announcements. Except as otherwise provided herein, the timing and content of all announcements regarding any aspect of this Agreement, the Mergers, the Stock Sale and the other transactions contemplated hereby to the financial community, Governmental Authorities, or the general public shall be mutually agreed upon in advance by ED&F and Parent; provided, however, that each party hereto may make any such announcement which it in good faith believes, based on advice of counsel, is required by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other parties prior to any such announcement to the extent practicable, and shall in any event promptly provide the other parties hereto with copies of any such announcement. This Section 7.4 shall not apply to communications by any party to its counsel, accountants or other advisors or, if the substance of such communication would not reasonably be expected to require Parent to file a Form 8-K and/or make a disclosure under Regulation FD under the Exchange Act, to employees.

Section 7.5. Tax Matters.

(a) With respect to the Transferred Companies (i) ED&F shall cause to be prepared and filed all Prior Period Returns and (ii) Parent shall cause to be prepared and filed any Tax Returns for Straddle Periods (“Straddle Period Returns”). The Prior Period Returns and Straddle Period Returns shall be prepared, where relevant, in a manner consistent with the Transferred Companies’ past practices except as otherwise required by applicable Law. If any Prior Period Returns are due after the Closing and if ED&F is not authorized to file such Prior Period Returns by applicable Law, ED&F shall submit drafts of such returns to Parent at least 30 days prior to the due date of any such Tax Return, provided, however, that to the extent any such Prior Period Return could materially increase the Tax liability of the Transferred Companies or their Affiliates for periods beginning after the Closing Date, the draft of any such Prior Period Return shall be subject to Parent’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, that ED&F shall pay the excess of the amount shown to be due on such Prior Period Return over the amount of Tax taken into consideration in determining Stock Sale Closing Date Net Indebtedness and Merger Closing Date Net Indebtedness to Parent no less than three days prior to the due date of such Prior Period Return. Any dispute between the parties shall be resolved in accordance with procedures similar to those set forth in Section 2.9(c)(ii) and Section 3.2(c)(ii).

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable Law or administrative practice, the taxable year of any Transferred Company that includes the Closing Date shall be treated as closing on (and including) the Closing Date. In the case where applicable Law does not permit a Transferred Company to treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable year or period, and to determine the responsibility for Taxes attributable to the Transferred Companies for a Straddle Period under this Agreement, the portion of any such Taxes that are allocable to the ED&F shall: (i) in the case of Taxes that are either (x) based upon or related to income or receipts or (y) imposed in connection with any sale, transfer or assignment or any deemed sale, transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible) other than Transfer Taxes (as defined below), be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the taxable year ended at the end of the Closing Date and (ii) in the case of Taxes (other than those described in clause (i)) imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the business or assets of any of the Transferred Companies or otherwise measured by the level of any item, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the

entire Straddle Period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding taxable period) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire relevant Straddle Period. For purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, any exemption, deduction, credit or other item that is calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date on a pro rata basis determined by multiplying the total amount of such item allocated to the Straddle Period times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire relevant Straddle Period. In the case of any Tax based upon or measured by capital (including net worth or long-term debt) or intangibles, any amount of such capital thereof required to be allocated under this Section 7.5(b) shall be computed by reference to the amount shown on any relevant Tax Return. Parent shall be responsible for all other Taxes attributable to a Straddle Period. Parent shall provide to ED&F all Straddle Period Returns (including a computation of the portion of the Tax shown on such Tax Return that Parent believes is the responsibility of ED&F (“ED&F’s Portion”)) within 30 days of the due date for such returns, including extensions, for ED&F’s review and approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. ED&F shall pay the excess of ED&F’s Portion (or in the case of a dispute, the undisputed amount of the ED&F’s Portion) over the amount of Tax taken into account in determining Merger Closing Date Net Indebtedness and the Stock Sale Closing Date Net Indebtedness to Parent no later than three Business Days prior to the due date of any Straddle Period Return. If the parties hereto cannot resolve any disputed item, the item in question shall be resolved in accordance with procedures similar to those set forth in Section 2.9(c)(ii) and Section 3.2(c)(ii). If the Accounting Firm is unable to make a determination with respect to any disputed issue within three Business Days prior to the due date (including extensions) for the filing of the Tax Return in question, then Parent may file such Tax Return on the due date (including extensions) therefor without such determination having been made and without ED&F’s consent. Notwithstanding the filing of such Tax Return, the Accounting Firm shall make a determination with respect to any disputed issue, and the amount of Taxes for which ED&F is responsible shall be as determined by the Accounting Firm (less any amount previously paid by ED&F with respect to such Tax Return). No later than three days after the Accounting Firm’s determination, ED&F shall pay Parent in immediately available funds the amount of ED&F’s additional Tax liability as determined by the Accounting Firm. No payment pursuant to this Section 7.5(b) shall excuse ED&F from its indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 10.2(a) if the amount of Taxes as ultimately determined (on audit or otherwise) for the Straddle Period that are the responsibility of ED&F exceeds the amount of ED&F’s payment under this Section 7.5(b).

(c) Parent shall promptly notify ED&F following receipt of any notice of audit or other proceeding relating to any of the Prior Period Returns or Straddle Period Returns or any other federal, state, foreign or local corporation income or franchise Tax Return of any Transferred Company filed on or before the Closing Date; provided, however, that the failure of Parent to give ED&F prompt notice as provided herein shall not relieve ED&F of its indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent that ED&F is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. ED&F shall have the right to control any and all audits or other proceedings relating to any Prior Period Return other than any such audit or proceeding that could result in a Loss to a Parent Indemnified Party that would not be indemnifiable pursuant to this Agreement (as determined in good faith by ED&F and Parent, in which case Parent shall agree in writing to forego the amount of any indemnity claim against any ED&F Party that would not otherwise have been indemnifiable pursuant to this Agreement, after a final determination in respect of such audit or proceeding had ED&F controlled such audit or proceeding); provided, however, that ED&F shall not settle,

compromise or concede any such audit or proceeding without the written consent of Parent (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if such settlement, compromise or concession involves an issue that recurs in taxable periods of Parent (or any of its Affiliates) or any of the Transferred Companies or could increase by more than $10,000 the Tax liability of Parent (or any of its Affiliates) or any of the Transferred Companies for any taxable period ending after the Closing Date. Parent shall have the right to control any and all audits or other proceedings relating to any Tax Return required or permitted to be filed for taxable periods that end after the Closing Date, including any Straddle Period Return; provided, however, that Parent shall not settle, compromise or concede any such audit or proceeding without the prior written consent of ED&F (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if such settlement, compromise or concession could increase by more than $10,000 the Tax liability of ED&F (or any of its Affiliates) or any of the Transferred Companies for any Straddle Period or any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date.

(d) Any Tax sharing agreement in effect at the Closing Date shall be terminated as of the Closing Date as to the Transferred Companies, and no additional amounts shall be due from or due to the Transferred Companies after the Closing Date pursuant to any Tax sharing agreement and the Transferred Companies shall not have any liability in respect of such agreement.

(e) The parties hereto shall preserve and cause to be preserved all information, Tax Returns, books, records and documents relating to any Tax liability with respect to a taxable period until the later of the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitation and extensions thereof, or the conclusion of all litigation with respect to Taxes for such period. The parties hereto shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other (and to each other’s accountants and attorneys), upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Transferred Companies or the Business (including access to books and records as well as the timely provision of powers of attorney or similar authorizations) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the making of any election related to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any taxing authority and the prosecution or defense of any audit, proposed adjustment or deficiency, assessment, claim, suit or other proceeding relating to any Taxes or Tax Return (each, a “Tax Proceeding”), including the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material so provided.

(f) On or prior to the Closing Date, ED&F shall file (or cause to be filed) one or more elections under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3(c)(1)(i) to treat each of the Purchased Companies (other than ED&F Man Liquid Products Inc.) as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which election shall be effective no later than the date which is two days prior to the Closing Date. ED&F shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue ED&F Man Liquid Products Inc. into the Canadian provincial jurisdiction of Nova Scotia and to convert such entity into an unlimited liability company prior to the Closing, and shall file (or cause to be filed) the election described in the prior sentence to treat such unlimited liability company as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. ED&F and Parent shall cooperate to determine whether to complete and file an election under Treasury Regulations section 301.7701-3(c)(1) to treat Champion Liquid Feeds Pty. Ltd. as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes within seventy (70) days of the Closing Date and, if agreed, procure all necessary signatures and file such an election with an effective date no later than two days prior to the Closing Date.

(g) The parties shall cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all returns, applications or other documents regarding any real property transfer, transfer gains or similar taxes which become payable in connection with the Mergers or the Stock Sale pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”). The parties further agree, upon reasonable request, to

use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Transfer Taxes that could be imposed. Parent will supply ED&F with all necessary documentation and forms that are needed to support the qualification of the Mergers as reorganizations under Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code. From and after the date of this Agreement each of the Parties will, and will cause its Affiliates to, (i) act in a manner consistent with the treatment of the Mergers contemplated by this Agreement as reorganizations under Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code and (ii) consistently take the position on all Tax Returns, before any taxing authority, and in any judicial proceeding, that the Mergers contemplated by this Agreement qualify as reorganizations under Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code.

(h) On or prior to the Closing Date, the boards of directors of each of Parent, the Merger Subs, and ED&F shall adopt this Agreement as a “Plan of Reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-3(a).

(i) Unless specific written consent is provided by ED&F (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (a) the Merger Subs shall continue to be treated as disregarded from Parent for U.S. federal income tax purposes for two (2) years following the Closing Date and (b) Parent shall take no action that would cause the Mergers to fail to meet the “continuity of enterprise” requirement of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-1(d) as interpreted under applicable Law.

(j) Prior to the Closing, Holdings shall deliver to Parent (i) a duly and properly executed certification of non-foreign status executed by Holdings, in form and substance consistent with Treasury Regulations section 1.1445-2(b) stating that Holdings is not a “Foreign Person” as defined in section 1445 of the Code (it being understood and agreed by the parties that the failure to provide such certificate shall result in Parent and/or a Merger Sub withholding (or causing to be withheld) under Section 1445 of the Code).

(k) ED&F shall provide (or shall cause the applicable Transferred Company to provide) to Parent a copy of any income Tax Return filed by a Transferred Company from the date hereof until the Closing Date no later than five (5) Business Days after the filing of any such Tax Return.

(l) If Parent or any Affiliate of Parent (including the Transferred Companies) receives any refund or credits of any Taxes attributable to any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date or any Straddle Period (to the extent such Taxes would be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date in accordance with Section 7.5(b)) of any Transferred Company, Parent shall promptly pay to ED&F the amount of any such refund or credits of Taxes (including any interest received or credited in respect thereof reduced by reasonable direct expenses or costs incurred in obtaining the refund), except to the extent such refund relates to or is attributable to the carryback of any credit, loss, deduction or other Tax items arising in any period beginning after the Closing Date or any Straddle Period to the extent such item would be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending after the Closing Date in accordance with Section 7.5(b). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any refunds or credits of Taxes taken into account in determining Merger Closing Date Net Indebtedness or Stock Sale Closing Date Net Indebtedness shall remain the property of the Transferred Companies and not be payable to ED&F under this Section 7.5(l). For purposes of this Section 7.5(l), the term “refund” shall include a reduction in Taxes and the use of an overpayment of Taxes as an audit or other Tax offset, and receipt of a refund shall occur upon the filing of a return or an adjustment thereto using such reduction, overpayment or offset, or upon the receipt of cash.

(m) In respect of the sale of the shares of ED & F Man Liquid Products Inc. (or a successor entity) in accordance with Section 3.1:

(ii) each of the Purchased Company Parents of ED & F Man Liquid Products Inc. will provide to Parent and the relevant Buying Subsidiary within 20 Business Days from the date of this Agreement reasonably available (A) evidence that each such Purchased Company Parent is resident in a jurisdiction which has entered into a bilateral tax treaty with Canada, and (B) evidence that the shares of ED & F Man Liquid Products Inc. (or a successor entity), on Closing, will not derive the greater part of their value from immovable property situated in Canada (excepting immovable property in which the business of ED & F Man Liquid Products Inc. (or a successor entity) is carried on).

(iii) to the extent Parent is satisfied, acting reasonably and in good faith, with the evidence provided pursuant to clause (ii) so that subsection 116(5.01) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) can apply to the sale of the shares in ED & F Man Liquid Products Inc. (or a successor entity), the relevant Buying Subsidiary shall refrain from withholding any amount from the Estimated Stock Sale Purchase Price payable for such shares; and

(iv) in the event Parent is not satisfied, acting reasonably and in good faith, with the evidence provided pursuant to clause (ii), Parent will give notice to that effect to ED&F not less than 20 Business Days prior to Closing, whereupon the Parent, the relevant Buying Subsidiary and ED&F will negotiate in good faith and, to the extent a tax clearance certificate pursuant to subsection 116(1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) has not been issued prior to the Closing, will enter into an escrow agreement to govern the escrow, investment, remittance and release of any withheld funds. In no event will any amount withheld in connection with section 116 of the Income Tax Act (Canada) exceed 25% of the Purchase Price allocable to the shares of ED & F Man Liquid Products Inc. (or a successor entity). In no event will any amount be remitted to the Canada Revenue Agency which is in excess of the minimum amount required by law or at a time prior to the due date imposed under applicable law, as modified by administrative practice (including by a comfort letter issued by the Canada Revenue Agency).

Section 7.6. Foreign Transfer Agreements. As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, the ED&F Parties, on the one hand, and Parent and the Merger Subs, on the other hand, shall cooperate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Foreign Transfer Agreements to be prepared and, prior to or on the Closing Date, executed by the applicable ED&F Party or Affiliate thereof and Parent or an Affiliate of Parent designated for such purpose by Parent (a “Buying Subsidiary”). The parties agree that (i) the Foreign Transfer Agreements are not intended to expand or limit the rights and obligations of the ED&F Parties or their Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent, either Merger Sub and any Buying Subsidiary on the other hand, beyond those provided for in this Agreement, and (ii) except as may be required by Law, the Foreign Transfer Agreements shall not provide any rights or obligations of the ED&F Parties or their Affiliates, or Parent or the Buying Subsidiaries, in addition to those that are provided in this Agreement. The parties further agree that the Foreign Transfer Agreements shall allocate the Estimated Stock Sale Consideration and the Final Stock Sale Adjustment Amount in accordance with Section 3.3 and that, if there is an adjustment to the payment made on account of the Unadjusted Stock Sale Purchase Price under Section 3.2 which relates to a part of the capital stock of a Transferred Company that is the subject of a Foreign Transfer Agreement, then, if required to implement the adjustment and so far as permissible under the Law of the relevant jurisdiction, ED&F or the relevant Purchase Company Parent and Parent or the relevant Buying Subsidiary shall enter into a supplemental agreement reflecting such adjustment and the allocation of such adjustment. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Foreign Transfer Agreements and this Agreement, the parties agree and acknowledge that the terms of this Agreement shall control and that, if necessary, the parties shall deliver such additional instruments as may be reasonably necessary to accomplish the foregoing, so far as permissible under the Law of the relevant jurisdiction. The ED&F Parties shall not bring any claim against Parent or any Buying Subsidiary, and Parent and the Buying Subsidiaries shall not bring any claim against any ED&F Party, in respect of or based upon the Foreign Transfer Agreements except to the extent necessary to implement any transfer of a Transferred Company in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 7.7. Consents and Waivers. The ED&F Parties and Parent shall use (and the ED&F Parties shall cause each of the Transferred Companies to use) their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain at the earliest practicable date all consents, waivers, approvals and notices required to consummate, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (except for such matters covered by Section 7.3 and except for such consents, waivers and approvals as may be required from Affiliates of ED&F, which shall be obtained immediately prior to the Closing Date). Any such consents, waivers, approvals and notices shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to ED&F and Parent, and executed counterparts of any consents, waivers and approvals shall be delivered to the other party promptly after receipt thereof, and copies of such notices shall be delivered to the other party promptly after the making thereof. Any costs incurred as payments to any Person with respect to such consents, waivers, approvals and notices shall be borne by Parent; provided however, that any such costs shall be borne by Parent only after the Closing. In the event the Closing does not occur, any such costs shall be borne by the Person incurring such costs.

(b) Parent shall or shall cause its Affiliates to provide each Transferred Employee whose employment terminates (in a manner that would have entitled such Transferred Employee to severance payments and benefits under any Transferred Company’s applicable severance plan as in effective on the date of this Agreement as disclosed in Section 7.8(b) of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Severance Plans”)) during the one year period from and after the Closing with severance payments and benefits, calculated based on service earned with the Transferred Companies or any Affiliate, at least equal to the severance payments and benefits such employee would have received under the applicable Transferred Company’s severance plan applicable to such Transferred Employee, but only to the extent such plan is listed in Section 7.8(b) of the Disclosure Schedule and provided further that Parent and/or its Affiliates shall have the same right to amend, modify or terminate such Severance Plans after the Effective Time as the Transferred Company had under the terms of the applicable plan or under applicable Law.

(c) Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods and service requirements with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Transferred Employees under any Plan and (ii) provide each Transferred Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Closing for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under any analogous Plan.

A disability claim shall be considered incurred when the disability claim is properly filed.

(g) Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the ability of Parent or its Affiliates to terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee for any reason at any time after the Effective Time. Nothing in this Section 7.8 or any other provision of this Agreement shall (i) be construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement (including any ED&F Plan transferred to Parent or any of its Affiliates) or (ii) limit the ability of Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Effective Time, the Transferred Companies) to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by Parent or any of its Affiliates (including any ED&F Plan transferred to Parent or any of its Affiliates).

(h) Prior to the Effective Time, (i) the Transferred Companies shall cause the sponsorship of each of the Plans sponsored or maintained by the Transferred Companies, that are qualified defined benefit pension plans covering Transferred Employees in the U.S. (all of which are set forth in Section 7.8(h) of the Disclosure Schedule and are referred to hereinafter, collectively, as the “Transferred Plans”) to be assumed by ED&F or any of its Affiliates (provided such Affiliate is not a Transferred Company) and (ii) the Transferred Companies shall transfer all assets (or, as applicable, the Transferred Companies’ rights in the trusts holding such assets), liabilities, rights and obligations relating to the Transferred Plans to ED&F or any of its Affiliates (provided such Affiliate is not a Transferred Company). Prior to the Effective Time, the Transferred Companies shall also cause the transfer of all records, consents and election forms with respect to the Transferred Plans to ED&F or any of its Affiliates (provided such Affiliate is not a Transferred Company). Prior to the Effective Time, neither ED&F nor any of its Affiliates will take any action to terminate any of the Transferred Plans pursuant to Section 4041 of ERISA.

As promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, Parent shall prepare and file any other filings required under the Exchange Act, the Securities Act or any other Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Other Filings”). Parent shall notify ED&F promptly upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff and of any request by the SEC or its staff or any other Governmental Authority for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or any Other Filing or for additional information. As promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, Parent shall provide ED&F and its counsel with copies of all written correspondence between Parent or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, or its staff or other government officials, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement or any Other Filing.

counsel to Parent, is required by the SEC and United States securities Laws to be included therein. Parent agrees that the Proxy Statement and the Other Filings will comply in all material respects with all applicable Laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Whenever any event occurs which would reasonably be expected to result in the Proxy Statement containing any untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, Parent or ED&F, as the case may be, shall promptly inform the other party of such occurrence and cooperate in filing with the SEC or its staff or any other government officials, and/or mailing to stockholders of Parent, an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement. The Proxy Statement will be sent to the stockholders of Parent for the purpose of soliciting proxies from holders of Parent Common Stock to vote at the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting in favor of: (i) the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated hereby (“Parent Stockholder Approval”); (ii) the change of the name of Parent to “Westway Group, Inc.”; (iii) the amendment and restatement of Parent’s certificate of incorporation in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B; (iv) the issuance and sale of shares of Parent Common Stock to the extent that such issuance requires stockholder approval under the rules of any stock exchange on which Parent’s common stock is or will be listed; (v) the election of the Proposed Initial Directors to serve as the Board of Directors of Parent, effective immediately following the Closing; and (vi) the adjournment of the special meeting and (vii) the adoption of an Equity Incentive Plan, in a form to be agreed upon by Parent and ED&F (the matters described in clauses (i) through (vii), the “Voting Matters”).

(b) As soon as practicable following its approval by the SEC, Parent shall distribute the Proxy Statement to the holders of Parent Common Stock and, pursuant thereto, shall call the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting in accordance with the DGCL and, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, solicit proxies from such holders to vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Transaction and the other Voting Matters.

(c) Parent shall comply, and ED&F shall provide Parent, as promptly as reasonably practicable, with such information concerning the Transferred Companies reasonably requested by Parent that is necessary for the information concerning the Transferred Companies in the Proxy Statement and the Other Filings to comply, with all applicable provisions of and rules under the Exchange Act and all applicable provisions of the DGCL in the preparation, filing and distribution of the Proxy Statement, the solicitation of proxies thereunder, and the calling and holding of the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent shall ensure that the Proxy Statement does not, as of the date on which it is distributed to the holders of Parent Common Stock, and as of the date of the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that Parent shall not be responsible for the accuracy or completeness of any information relating to the Transferred Companies or any other information furnished in writing by ED&F for inclusion in the Proxy Statement).

(d) Subject to the fiduciary duties of its board of directors, Parent shall include in the Proxy Statement the recommendation of its board of directors that the holders of Parent Common Stock vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Transaction and the other Voting Matters, and shall otherwise use best efforts to obtain the Parent Stockholder Approval.

announcing the Closing, together with, or incorporating by reference, the financial statements prepared by ED&F and its accountant, (“Transaction Form 8-K”).

Simultaneously with the Closing, Parent shall file the Transaction Form 8-K with the SEC and distribute the Press Release.

Section 7.12. Certain Transfers.

(i) Section 7.12(a) of the Disclosure Schedule to (x) add or revise a description therein of any Intellectual Property, Contract or other asset the failure of which description to be included therein, or the failure of which description to be so revised, would cause the representation and warranty in the second sentence of Section 5.7 to be inaccurate, or (y) remove or revise the description therein of any Intellectual Property, Contract or other asset if the inclusion of or failure to revise such description would result in the transfer or assignment to a Transferred Company of any Intellectual Property, Contract or other asset that does not constitute a part of the Business as of the date hereof; or

(ii) Section 7.12(b) of the Disclosure Schedule to remove or revise the description therein of any Intellectual Property, Contract or other asset the inclusion of which description, or the failure of which description to be so revised, would cause the representation and warranty in the second sentence of Section 5.7 to be inaccurate.

For all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of (1) determining the fulfillment of the condition precedent set forth in Section 8.2(a) and (2) Section 10.2, any such amendment shall be given effect as if it had been made on the date hereof.

Section 7.13. No Claim Against Trust Account.

of Parent or (ii) to Parent after it consummates an initial Business Combination (as defined in the Prospectus). Each of the ED&F Parties hereby agrees that it does not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account (“Trust Account Claim”) and hereby waives any Trust Account Claim it may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with Parent and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. This paragraph will survive this Agreement and will not expire and will not be altered in any way without the express written consent of Parent.

Section 7.14. Collection of Receivables. ED&F shall, and shall cause the Transferred Companies to, by letter prepared by Parent or the Surviving LLCs (the “Letter”) and reasonably acceptable to ED&F, authorize, instruct and direct that the account parties of all accounts, notes and receivables (including insurance proceeds) included in the assets of the Transferred Companies (such parties, the “Seller Account Parties”) shall make and deliver all payments relating thereto on or after the Closing to such location, bank and account as Parent or the applicable Surviving LLC shall specify. If any of the Seller Account Parties remits payments on or after the Closing to an ED&F Party, ED&F shall, and shall cause the other ED&F Parties to, deliver all such payments to Parent or the Surviving LLC or pay to Parent or the applicable Surviving LLC an amount equal to such payments and Parent or the applicable Surviving LLC shall reimburse ED&F for its reasonable expenses directly related thereto. If any Person remits payments on or after the Closing to Parent or any Transferred Company which are not due and payable to a Transferred Company, but are instead due and payable to ED&F or a Subsidiary of ED&F that is not a Transferred Company, Parent shall, and shall cause the Transferred Companies to, deliver all such payments to ED&F or pay to ED&F an amount equal to such payments and ED&F shall reimburse Parent or such Transferred Company for its reasonable expenses directly related thereto.

Section 7.15. Dividend. Except as set forth in this Section 7.15, prior to the Closing, Parent shall not declare, set aside or pay any dividends on or make any other distributions (whether in cash, stock, equity securities or property) in respect of any capital stock or split, combine or reclassify any capital stock or issue or authorize the issuance of any other securities in respect of, in lieu of or in substitution for any capital stock. Notwithstanding anything in the previous sentence to the contrary, Parent shall use its best efforts, to the extent permitted under the DGCL and Parent’s certificate of incorporation, to declare and pay a special dividend of $1.00 per share to each holder of Parent Common Stock immediately following the Closing. Parent has obtained from Parent Founder a waiver of such special dividend and ED&F agrees to waive its rights and shall cause each other Stock Acquiror to waive its rights to receive such special dividend when declared by the board of directors of Parent.

Section 7.16. Financing. Each party hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the condition set forth in Section 8.1(f) to be satisfied.

Section 7.17. Directors and Officers of Parent and the Surviving LLCs.

(a) Subject to applicable Law, the parties shall take all necessary action to cause (i) each individual listed in Section 2.5 of the Disclosure Schedule under the caption “Feed Surviving LLC” to be elected to hold the Feed Surviving LLC office listed opposite such individual’s name on such Section, (ii) each individual listed in Section 2.5 of the Disclosure Schedule under the caption “Terminal Surviving LLC” to be elected to hold the Terminal Surviving LLC office listed opposite such individual’s name on such Section, (iii) each individual listed on Section 2.6 of the Disclosure Schedule under the caption “Feed Surviving LLC” to be elected to serve as a director of Feed Surviving LLC, and (iv) each individual listed on Section 2.6 of the Disclosure Schedule under the caption “Terminal Surviving LLC” to be elected to serve as a director of Terminal Surviving LLC, in each of the cases of the preceding clauses (i) through (iv), at the time of the Closing.

(c) Subject to applicable Law, Parent shall take all necessary action to nominate for election to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of Parent the individual listed in Section 7.17(c) of the Disclosure Schedule under the caption “Chief Executive Officer of Parent.”

Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to continue listing of the Parent Common Stock on the OTCBB, provided, however, that if the lenders under the Parent Credit Facility require that the Parent Common Stock be listed for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC or the NYSE Alternext US LLC, Parent and ED&F shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the listing for trading of the Parent Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC or the NYSE Alternext US LLC. Subject to the foregoing proviso, if continued listing is not secured by the Closing, the parties shall continue to use their commercially reasonable efforts after the Closing to obtain such listing.

Section 7.19. Trust Account Disbursement. The Trust Account shall be disbursed to Parent immediately upon the Closing in an amount not less than $138,000,000, less any payments and reserves contemplated hereby, including as follows:

(a) Adequate reserves shall be made by Parent for payments to stockholders of Parent electing to convert their shares of Parent common stock into cash as provided in Parent’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

(b) To the extent permitted under the DGCL and Parent’s certificate of incorporation, adequate reserves shall be made by Parent for payment of the special dividend referred to in Section 7.15.

(c) All other liabilities of Parent and the Merger Subs due and owing or incurred at or prior to the Closing Date shall be paid as and when due, including all Parent Tax liabilities and the payment at Closing of professional and other fees and expenses related to the transactions contemplated hereby, and adequate reserves shall be made against amounts distributed from the Trust Account therefor.

Section 7.20. SEC Reports. Subject to ED&F’s compliance with its obligations under Section 7.10, Parent shall file all Parent SEC Documents required to be filed by it from the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date and shall use its best efforts to do so in a timely manner. Parent shall cause such Parent SEC Documents (i) to be prepared in accordance and comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder applicable to such Parent SEC Documents, and (ii) not, at the time they are filed (and if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement then on the date of such filing and as so amended or superseded), to contain any untrue statement of a

material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Section 7.21. Ownership and Acquisition of Parent Common Stock. No ED&F Party nor any of its Affiliates owns beneficially or of record, and during the period from the date hereof until the Closing, the ED&F Parties shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to, purchase or otherwise acquire beneficial or record ownership of, any shares of Parent Common Stock, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or carrying the right to acquire, any shares of Parent Common Stock.

Section 7.22. Denmark Newco. Prior to the Closing, ED&F shall cause to be organized a Danish private limited company (“Denmark Newco”), the outstanding capital stock of which will, immediately prior to the Closing, be wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ED&F. At or prior to the Closing, ED&F shall cause Westway Terminals Danmark ApS to transfer and assign to Denmark Newco all of the assets and liabilities described in Section 7.22 of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Danish Asset Transfer”). Denmark Newco shall upon its organization pursuant to this Section 7.22 be a “Purchased Company” for all purposes hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that any representation or warranty of the ED&F Parties contained herein with respect to a Transferred Company speaks as of the date of this Agreement or any other date prior to the date of the Danish Asset Transfer, such representation or warranty shall, with respect solely to Denmark Newco, be deemed to speak as of the date of, and after giving effect to, the Danish Asset Transfer.

Section 7.23. Audited Year-End Financial Statements.

(a) As soon as practicable, but in any event prior to December 10, 2008, ED&F shall deliver to Parent the combined balance sheets of the Business as of October 31, 2007 and 2006 and the combined statements of operations and cash flows of the Business for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, each as audited and reported on by Ernst & Young LLP (collectively, the “Audited Year-End Financial Statements”).

(b) Upon delivery of the Audited Year-End Financial Statements, the ED&F Parties shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to Parent and the Merger Subs that: (i) the Audited Year-End Financial Statements have been derived from the books and records of the Transferred Companies; (ii) the Audited Year-End Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP except as otherwise expressly stated therein; and (iii) each of the balance sheets in the Audited Year-End Financial Statements fairly presents in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Business as of its respective date, and each statement of operations in the Audited Year-End Financial Statements fairly presents in all material respects the results of operations of the Business for the period covered thereby. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, from and after the date on which ED&F delivers the Audited Year-End Financial Statements to Parent pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 7.23, (x) the ED&F Parties shall not have any liability with respect to, or any indemnification obligation to any Parent Indemnified Party for Losses arising out of or relating to, the Unaudited Year-End Financial Statements, (y) the representations and warranties contained in clause (a) of Section 5.5 and all of clause (c) of Section 5.5 except for the first sentence thereof shall be deemed to have expired and (z) the term “Financial Information” shall be deemed for all purposes of the Agreement to mean, collectively, the Interim Financials and the Audited Year-End Financial Statements.

(c) In the event that the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Business reflected in the balance sheet of the Business as of October 31, 2007 and the combined statements of operations and cash flows of the Business for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007 (in each case contained in the Audited Year-End Financial Statements) are, in the reasonable, good faith judgment of Parent, materially worse than the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Business reflected in the balance sheet of the Business as of October 31, 2007 and the combined statements of operations and cash flows of the Business for

the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007 (in each case contained in the Unaudited Year-End Financial Statements) (an “Audit Difference”), Parent may elect to terminate the Agreement, if, and only if, Parent notifies ED&F in writing of such election no later than seven days after delivery to Parent of the Audited Financial Statements. If Parent fails timely to provide such notice, the Audit Difference will be disregarded for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of determining whether the condition to Closing set forth in Section 8.2(a) (or any other condition to Closing set forth in Article VIII) has been satisfied. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will an Audit Difference constitute a Loss or otherwise give rise to any right of indemnification on the part of any Parent Indemnified Party under Section 10.2 or otherwise.

(e) by Parent, if it and the Merger Subs are not in material breach of their obligations under this Agreement and if (i) at any time any of the representations and warranties of the ED&F Parties herein become untrue or inaccurate such that Section 8.2(a) would not be satisfied (treating such time as if it were the Closing Date for purposes of this Section 9.1(e)); or (ii) there has been a breach on the part of any ED&F Party of any of their covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement such that Section 8.2(b) would not be satisfied (treating such time as if it were the Closing Date for purposes of this Section 9.1(e)), and, in both cases (i) and (ii), such breach has not been cured within 30 days after written notice to ED&F, if curable;

The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation, or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreements, will not affect the right to indemnification or any other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements.

(a) Subject to the other limitations set forth in this ARTICLE X, ED&F and Holdings agree to indemnify and hold harmless Parent, the Surviving LLCs, their Affiliates, successors and assigns and each of their officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Parent Indemnified Parties”) without duplication against and in respect of any and all Losses of the Parent Indemnified Parties (including, after the Closing, the Transferred Companies), to the extent resulting or arising from:

Agreement shall be made to an account or accounts designated by such Indemnified Party not less than two Business Days prior to such payment for one or more Indemnified Parties.

Section 10.3. Method of Asserting Claims, etc.

(a) Subject to Section 7.5, all claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party hereunder shall be asserted and resolved as set forth in this Section 10.3. An Indemnified Party entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by, or an action, proceeding or investigation instituted by, any Person (whether or not a party to this Agreement) (an “Indemnity Claim”), must notify the Indemnifying Party in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Indemnity Claim as promptly as practicable after such Indemnified Party learns of the Indemnity Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder unless the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Such written notice (the “Claim Notice”) shall (i) describe such Indemnity Claim in as much detail as is reasonably practicable, including a reference to sections of this Agreement which form the basis for such claim, and (ii) to the extent possible, set forth the amount or the estimated amount thereof (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim and demand) along with copies of all written evidence thereof.

(b) If an Indemnity Claim is made against an Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) (except with respect to a Tax Proceeding, which shall be exclusively governed by Section 7.5), such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event more than 30 days following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of such Third Party Claim, deliver a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party with respect thereto; provided, however, that failure to provide such notice within the time period required shall not affect the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party was materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days from the personal delivery or mailing of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party whether or not it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim described in a Claim Notice that (i) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief as a primary remedy, (ii) is a criminal claim, or (iii) primarily relates to a claim or demand of, or a dispute with, a material customer of the Business. All costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or demand shall be a liability of, and shall be paid by, the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, except as herein provided, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to do so by appropriate proceedings. If the Indemnifying Party has the right to and elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall select counsel, contractors and consultants of recognized standing and competence; shall take all steps reasonably necessary in the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim; and shall diligently pursue the resolution of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense or settlement, it may do so at its sole cost and expense, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of one outside counsel in connection with such participation (i) if it requests the Indemnified Party to participate or (ii) if in the reasonable written opinion of outside counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that would make joint representation of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party impermissible under applicable standards of professional conduct. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, all of the parties hereto shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Subject to attorney-client

privilege, such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s reasonable request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder; provided, however, that any out-of-pocket cost incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such copying or employee availability shall be at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may only settle or compromise a Third Party Claim with the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise such a Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party if such settlement or compromise (x) provides solely for the payment of money by the Indemnifying Party and includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim and (y) does not subject the Indemnified Party to any injunctive relief or other equitable remedy. If the Indemnifying Party does not defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Party has an indemnification obligation hereunder, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice as provided above or otherwise, then the amount of any such Third Party Claim, or, if the same be contested by the Indemnified Party, then that portion thereof as to which such defense is unsuccessful shall be the liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE X, provided that whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim, or consent to the entry of any judgment, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(g) For purposes of this ARTICLE X, the determination of (i) whether there has been a breach of a representation or warranty and (ii) Losses resulting or arising from such breach shall be made without regard to any materiality qualification (including any reference to Business Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect), except for such qualifications contained in the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.5(c), Section 5.5(e), the first sentence of Section 5.6, and Sections 5.11(a), 5.11(c), 5.11(f), 5.12(g) and 5.28.

reimburse another party the payment shall, if required by law, include an amount equal to any VAT thereon not otherwise recoverable by the other party, subject to that other party using all commercially reasonable efforts to recover such amount of VAT as may be practicable. For the avoidance of doubt, all indemnification payments due under this ARTICLE X shall be made in the currency in which the loss was incurred (except as specified below). For purposes of the Basket, the Cap and other dollar denominated limitations on indemnification, foreign currencies shall be converted into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at which such foreign currencies are offered on the date on which an indemnification payment is made for U.S. dollars as reported in The Wall Street Journal on the day following the day on which payment is made.

Section 10.7. Mitigation. Each of the parties agrees to take all reasonable steps to mitigate their respective Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Loss that is indemnifiable hereunder.

Section 10.8. No Set-Off.

Section 11.5. Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto hereunder will be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would require or permit the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction.

Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, permitted assigns and legal representatives. This Agreement shall be for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective heirs, successors, permitted assigns and legal representatives and is not intended, nor shall be construed, to give any Person, other than the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim hereunder.

Section 11.7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts for the convenience of the parties hereto, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a mutually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

Section 11.8. Titles and Headings. The titles, captions and table of contents in this Agreement are for reference purposes only, and shall not in any way define, limit, extend or describe the scope of this Agreement or otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 11.9. Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise contemplated herein, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (a) constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof (other than the Confidentiality Agreement); and (b) other than parties to the Ancillary Agreements are not intended to confer upon any other Persons any rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder. The parties acknowledge that each of the parties hereto participated in the drafting of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and agree that any rule of Law or any legal decision that may or would require interpretation of any alleged ambiguities in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements against the party that drafted it has no application and is expressly waived.

Section 11.10. Severability. The invalidity of any portion hereof shall not affect the validity, force or effect of the remaining portions hereof. If it is ever held that any restriction hereunder is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its fullest extent, such restriction shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

Section 11.11. No Strict Construction. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that this Agreement has been prepared jointly by the parties hereto, and is not to be strictly construed against either party. As a consequence, the parties do not intend that the presumptions of any Laws or rules relating to the interpretation of contracts against the drafter of any particular clause should be applied to this Agreement and therefore waive their effects.

Section 11.14. Failure or Indulgence not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or parties exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or any other right.

All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

Section 11.15. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, at any time prior to the Effective Time, by action taken by ED&F, Holdings, Westway Terminal, Westway Feed, Parent and the Merger Subs, and after the Closing by ED&F, Holdings, Parent and the Surviving LLCs.

This Agreement will automatically renew for an unlimited number of additional periods of one year each (each, an “Extended Term,” and, collectively with the Initial Term, the “Term”) on the same terms and conditions provided

herein, unless written notice of election not to extend the term is sent by one party to the other not less than one year prior to the end of the Initial Term or Extended Term that is identified in such written notice as the final term of this Agreement.

3. QUANTITY

3.1 Exclusive Supplier of Molasses. Man shall be Westway’s exclusive provider of Molasses to the Feed Facilities, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Westway anticipates that the average annual volume required will range between and tons per year, although such annual volume estimates are not binding on either party. Westway shall have no minimum purchase requirement.

3.2 Quantity of Molasses To Be Supplied. Attached hereto as Exhibit B is a schedule showing the total volume of Molasses required by Westway to be delivered to each of the Feed Facilities during each of the six consecutive calendar months commencing with the month containing the Effective Date. On or prior to the tenth day of the calendar month immediately following the Effective Date and on or prior to the tenth day of each calendar month thereafter during the Term of this Agreement, Westway will notify Man of the total volume of Molasses required by Westway to be delivered to each of the Feed Facilitites during the month that is six months following the date of such Molasses Demand Notice. Man will review the Molasses Demand Notice and determine in good faith whether it will be able to supply Molasses to Westway in accordance with such Molasses Demand Notice by employing its commercially reasonable best efforts. If Man will not be able to deliver all or some portion of the Molasses required by such Molasses Demand Notice, Man will notify (the “Deficiency Notice”) Westway on or prior to the fifteenth day of the calendar month during which it received the Molasses Demand Notice. The Deficiency Notice will specify the quantity of Molasses requested in the Molasses Demand Notice that will not be able to be timely supplied with respect to each Feed Facility (the “Deficiency Molasses”). During each calendar month of the Term, Man will sell and deliver to Westway, and Westway will purchase and receive from Man, at the Feed Facilities the quantity of Molasses specified in the Molasses Demand Notice, reduced by the quantities, if any, specified in any timely Deficiency Notice with respect to each Feed Facility (such quantity, so reduced, with respect to each of the Feed Facilities being referred to herein as the “Purchase Commitment”). The Purchase Commitment with respect to the first six consecutive months following the Effective Date shall equal the quantities of Molasses stated on Exhibit B. Westway is expressly authorized to purchase Molasses from third-party suppliers to replace any Deficiency Molasses. The Purchase Price for Molasses purchased from Man will be determined in accordance with Section 5. It is understood and agreed by the parties that the Molasses Demand Notice shall be binding and will be relied upon by Man for acquiring and transporting the proper volume of Molasses to each Feed Facility.

3.3 Changes in Quantity – Westway. Westway shall notify Man immediately upon determining that it will not be able to meet its obligation to purchase and accept the Purchase Commitment for a particular month and Man will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to mitigate Man’s damages resulting from Westway’s failure to purchase the Purchase Commitment. Man will attempt to mitigate its damages by using its commercially reasonable best efforts to sell to other purchasers the portion of the Purchase Commitment that is not purchased by Westway. Westway’s failure to purchase and accept its Purchase Commitment in full will not be a default hereunder, however, if the Molasses purchased by Westway is less than ninety percent of the Purchase Commitment,

Westway will remain liable to Man for any direct damages caused to Man by Westway’s failure to perform its Purchase Commitment, to the extent such damages are not mitigated through the parties’ commercially reasonable best efforts. If the Molasses purchased by Westway exceeds ninety percent of the Purchase Commitment, Westway will not be liable to Man for any damages caused to Man by Westway’s failure to perform its Purchase Commitment. In the event that Westway has purchased its full Purchase Commitment for a particular month and determines that it requires additional Molasses in such month for one or more Feed Facilities, Westway will be entitled to purchase for each such Feed Facility (a) up to ten percent of the Purchase Commitment for such Feed Facility in such calendar month from any person, or (b) in excess of ten percent of the Purchase Commitment for such Feed Facility in such calendar month from any person, if and only if (i) Westway has offered to purchase such molasses from Man, in accordance with the pricing and other terms of this Agreement, at least days prior to the delivery date required for such additional Molasses, (ii) Man does not accept such offer within business days of receipt, and (iii) Man determines that Westway was in good faith in setting the Purchase Commitment for such calendar month. Man will use its commercially reasonable efforts to fill Molasses orders of Westway that are received outside the ordinary Molasses Demand Notice process.

3.4 Changes in Quantity – Man. Man shall notify Westway immediately upon determining that it will not be able to meet its obligation to sell and deliver the Purchase Commitment for a particular month and Westway will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to mitigate Westway’s damages resulting from Man’s failure to supply the Purchase Commitment. Westway will attempt to mitigate its damages by using its commercially reasonable best efforts to purchase from third-party suppliers the quantity of Molasses that will not be timely delivered by Man; and Westway is expressly authorized to purchase Molasses from third-party suppliers in amounts up to the quantity of Molasses that will not be timely delivered by Man for the purpose of mitigation. Man’s failure to sell and deliver its Purchase Commitment in full will not be a default hereunder, however, if the Molasses supplied by Man is less than ninety percent of the Purchase Commitment, Man will remain liable to Westway for any direct damages caused to Westway by Man’s failure to perform its supply commitment, to the extent such damages are not mitigated through the parties’ commercially reasonable best efforts. If the Molasses supplied by Man exceeds ninety percent of the Purchase Commitment, Man will not be liable to Westway for any damages caused to Westway by Man’s failure to perform its supply commitment. Man will have the option to deliver more Molasses to any one or more Feed Facilities than the Purchase Commitment for any month (such excess being referred to as “Excess Molasses”), provided that such Feed Facility has excess storage capacity to accommodate the Excess Molasses delivered. Any Excess Molasses delivered by Man to a Feed Facility will be considered an advance delivery on the Purchase Commitment with respect to such Feed Facility for the next calendar month of the Term. Payment for, and pricing of, such Excess Molasses will be deferred until the month during which such Excess Molasses was to be delivered pursuant to Westway’s Purchase Commitment, in the same time frame and manner as payment and pricing would have been determined and paid had the Excess Molasses been delivered pursuant to Westway’s Purchase Commitment.

3.5 Acquisition of Existing Feed Businesses. If Westway acquires a Molasses supply agreement in connection with its acquisition of an animal feed manufacturing or distribution business and such supply agreement was not entered into or amended in anticipation of Westway’s acquisition, Westway will be allowed to purchase Molasses for such acquired animal feed manufacturing or distribution business pursuant to such supply agreement for the remainder of the term of such supply agreement.

4. QUALITY

4.1 Quality Of Molasses To Be Supplied. The Molasses delivered pursuant to this Agreement will be heavy brix (83°to 88°brix) cane molasses that meets or exceeds the minimum quality standards for cane molasses set forth in Section 63 of the Feed Ingredients Definitions of the 2004 Official Publication of AAFCO (as the same may be amended from time to time) and free of any adulteration (as defined in Section 7 of the Model Xxxx of the 2004 Official Publication of AAFCO, as the same may be amended from time to time). The Molasses may be acquired from any origin in the world.

5. PRICING

5.1 Price. The price per short ton of Molasses (the “Purchase Price”) that Man will charge Westway for the Purchased Molasses (with the exception of LSCPI Volume for which the parties agree on a LSCPI Bid Price) will be computed in accordance with Section 5.2, unless the parties mutually agree prior to delivery of the Molasses to one of the pricing mechanisms contained in Sections 5.3 or 5.4 hereof, in which case the Purchase Price shall equal the price calculated pursuant to the mutually agreed pricing mechanism. The parties may agree to different pricing mechanisms for lots of Purchased Molasses delivered to different Feed Facilities and to different pricing mechanisms for separate lots of Purchased Molasses delivered to the same Feed Facilities. The Purchase Price for Purchased Molasses constituting LSCPI Volume for crop years in which the parties agree on a LSCPI Bid Price will be computed in accordance with Section 5.2 using the Reference Price agreed by the parties pursuant to Section 5.5. The Purchase Price is exclusive of state and local sales and use taxes, but inclusive of all transportation charges (unless otherwise expressly provided).

5.2 Formula Pricing. For all Molasses sold to Westway pursuant to the pricing mechanism contained in this Section 5.2 (the “Formula Pricing Mechanism”), the price of Molasses per short ton, CIF the applicable Feed Facility, will be calculated as follows depending upon the Feed Facility to which such Molasses was delivered:

(a) Houston. For all Molasses delivered to the Feed Facility located in Houston, Texas, the Purchase Price shall be the Reference Price, less [...*.]. For the avoidance of doubt, such price is inclusive of any throughput charges assessed by the bulk liquid storage terminal used by Man to store such Molasses prior to delivery to Westway.

(b) Dimmitt/Hereford/Stratford/Omaha/Xxxxxxxx/Sulphur Springs. For all Molasses delivered to the Feed Facilities located in Dimmitt, Texas; Hereford, Texas; Stratford, Texas; Omaha, Nebraska; Kimberly, Idaho; and Sulphur Springs, Texas, the Purchase Price shall be the Reference Price, less [...*.], plus the cost to ship such Molasses from Houston, Texas to the applicable Feed Facility via rail freight, including the charges of the rail carrier, any fuel surcharges, and the allocated cost of leasing and maintaining the tank cars used to provide such transportation (regardless of the actual method used by Man to deliver such Molasses).

(c) Port Xxxxx. For all Molasses delivered to the Feed Facility located in Port Xxxxx, Louisiana, the Purchase Price shall be the Reference Price, less [...*.] per short ton, plus the cost to transport such Molasses from Man’s bulk liquid storage facilities in Port Xxxxx, Louisiana,

to the Port Xxxxx Feed Facility (regardless of the actual method used by Man to deliver such Molasses).

(d) Jacksonville. For all Molasses delivered to the Feed Facility located in Jacksonville, Florida, the Purchase Price shall equal the sum of (a) the actual cost to Man of acquiring, storing, maintaining, transporting, and delivering the subject Molasses to the Feed Facility located in Jacksonville, Florida, including, without limitation, the purchase price of the Molasses, freight charges, fuel surcharges, supervision charges, storage and handling charges in Jacksonville, insurance, storage, throughput charges, steam charges, and the allocated cost of leasing and maintaining the tank cars used to provide such transportation; plus (b) [...*.] per short ton.

(j) All Other Facilities. For any other Feed Facility currently existing or later acquired or developed that does not have the capability of receiving freight via oceangoing vessel, the Purchase Price shall be the Reference Price, less [...*.], plus Man’s actual cost to ship such Molasses from Houston, Texas or Port Xxxxx, Louisiana to the applicable Feed Facility via the most efficient (considering the location and capabilities of such Feed Facility) of barge or rail freight (regardless of the actual method used by Man to deliver such Molasses), including the charges of the freight carrier, any fuel surcharges, and, as applicable, the cost of a surveyor/tankerman or the allocated cost of leasing and maintaining the tank cars used to provide such transportation. In the case of a new Feed Facility capable of receiving freight via ocean vessel, the Purchase Price shall be the Reference Price, plus a commercially reasonable freight differential to be negotiated in good faith between Westway and Man.

5.3 Fixed Price Pricing. Man, in its sole discretion, may offer fixed price quotes for Molasses to be shipped pursuant to a Purchase Commitment during a specific time frame to specific Feed

Facilities. If such fixed price quotes are accepted by Westway, the Purchase Price for the Molasses that is the subject of the accepted fixed price quote shall equal such quoted price.

5.4 Cost Plus Pricing. Man, in its sole discretion, may offer fixed price quotes for Molasses to be shipped pursuant to a Purchase Commitment during a specific time frame to specific Feed Facilities based upon Man’s direct and indirect costs of storing, maintaining, transporting, and delivering the subject Molasses to the applicable Feed Facility, plus [....] per short ton, if the subject Molasses was produced in Louisiana, or [....] per short ton, if the subject Molasses was produced outside Louisiana (the “Cost Plus Pricing Mechanism”). If Man’s fixed price quote with respect to a particular Purchase Commitment, time frame and Feed Facility using the Cost Plus Pricing Mechanism is accepted by Westway, the Purchase Price for such Purchase Commitment, time frame and Feed Facility will be the price so quoted and mutually agreed.

5.5 Louisiana Sugar Cane Products.

(a) Louisiana Sugar Cane Products, Inc. (“LSCPI”) is in the practice, as of the date of this Agreement, of soliciting bids for the purchase of molasses produced by its member sugar xxxxx during each crop year. Man and Westway agree and acknowledge that it is in their mutual best interest for Man to deliver a bid for [...*.] of the total volume of molasses offered by the LSCPI each crop year (the “LSCPI Volume”). Commencing upon receipt by either of the parties from LSCPI of an invitation to bid or notification of the bidding process and concluding at least five (5) days prior to the deadline for the submission of bids to the LSCPI, Man and Westway agree to consult and employ their good faith, commercially reasonable best efforts to agree upon a bid price for Man to submit to the LSCPI for the purchase of the LSCPI Volume of Molasses (the “LSCPI Bid Price”) and the related, fixed Reference Price to be used by the parties to calculate the Purchase Price for the sale by Man to Westway of the LSCPI Volume of Purchased Molasses.

(b) If the parties agree on a LSCPI Bid Price and Reference Price with respect to the LSCPI Volume of Molasses, (i) Man will submit a bid to the LSCPI for the LSCPI Volume of Molasses at the LSCPI Bid Price, and, (ii) whether or not such bid is accepted by the LSCPI, the Purchase Price for the Purchase Commitments (up to the LSCPI Volume) of such crop year pertaining to the Feed Facilities located in Memphis, TN, Cincinnati, OH, St. Xxxx, MN, Catoosa, OK, and Port Xxxxx, LA, will be calculated in accordance with Section 5.2 hereof using the mutually-agreed Reference Price. If the LSCPI Volume for a particular crop year is less than the combined Purchase Commitments for such Feed Facilities during such crop year, the LSCPI Volume will be allocated to such Feed Facilities pro rata in accordance with the relative volumes of such Feed Facilities’ Purchase Commitments. If the LSCPI Volume for a particular crop year exceeds the Purchase Commitments for such Feed Facilities during such crop year, or upon mutual agreement of the parties, the parties will assign the excess LSCPI Volume to additional, mutually agreeable Feed Facilities.

(c) In the event that, despite consulting and employing their good faith, commercially reasonable best efforts to agree on a fixed Purchase Price, the parties are unable to agree on a LSCPI Bid Price and Reference Price for the LSCPI Volume, Man will be free to make a bid to the LSCPI or to refrain from making a bid, in its sole discretion, but Man’s decision will have no

affect on the Purchase Price with respect to any Purchase Commitment (except for any indirect affect on Purchase Prices set using the Cost Plus Pricing Mechanism).

5.6 Most Favored Nation - Spot Sales. If, and for each instance, during the Term of this Agreement, that Man makes a spot sale of at least 25,000 tons of Molasses to a competitor of Westway in the liquid animal feed manufacturing or distribution business (a “Subject Spot Sale”), Man will send a written notice to Westway offering a fixed price quote for Molasses to be shipped pursuant to any Unpriced Purchase Commitment for the same time frame and to be delivered to Feed Facilities in the same animal feed market as the Molasses sold in the Subject Spot Sale, provided, however, that the volume of Molasses to which such fixed price quote applies need not exceed the lesser of the volume of the Subject Spot Sale or the volume of the Unpriced Purchase Commitment for the same time frame and to be delivered to Feed Facilities in the same animal feed market as the Molasses sold in the Subject Spot Sale.

5.7 Most Favored Nation - Long-Term Agreements. If, and for each instance, during the Term of this Agreement, that Man enters into an Underpriced Agreement, Man will send a written notice to Westway offering to amend the Formula Pricing Mechanism contained in Section 5.2 hereof to match the pricing provisions contained in the Underpriced Agreement, effective as of the effective date of the Underpriced Agreement and continuing until the earlier of the expiration of the term of the Underpriced Agreement or the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Westway will have a period of ten days within which to analyze and accept or reject the new pricing terms so offered. If Westway rejects Man’s offer to amend the Formula Pricing Mechanism, or fails to respond to such offer within the ten day period set forth in the preceding sentence, the Formula Pricing Mechanism and this Agreement will not be amended in any way as a result of such Underpriced Agreement and will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. If Westway timely accepts Man’s offer to amend the Formula Pricing Mechanism, the Formula Pricing Mechanism outlined in Section 5.2 of this Agreement will be amended to contain the pricing provisions of the Underpriced Agreement for the period beginning on the effective date of the Underpriced Agreement and continuing until the earlier of the expiration of the term of the Underpriced Agreement or the expiration or termination of this Agreement and Westway and Man will memorialize the terms of such amendment by executing an amended and restated Agreement containing such terms.

5.8 Stockton Dead Freight Surcharge. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7(a), Westway’s failure to maintain Minimum Storage at the Feed Facility located in Stockton, CA will not be a default hereunder; provided that (a) Westway notifies Man of the timing and extent of any reduction in its storage capacity at the Stockton, CA Feed Facility prior to reducing its storage capacity below the Minimum Storage requirement at the Stockton, CA Feed Facility, and (b) Westway pays (in accordance with Section 6.5) to Man the Dead Freight Surcharge with respect to any shipment arriving at the Stockton, CA Feed Facility at a time when Westway does not maintain the Minimum Storage at such Feed Facility. Man will use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the total Dead Freight Surcharge payable by Westway.

5.9 Miscellaneous.

(a) For purposes of any calculations made pursuant to this Agreement, all molasses prices, transportation charges, other charges, volumes, and/or weights shall first be converted in

accordance with standard industry practice to a standard currency (U.S. Dollars), standard brix (79.5°), measure of weight (short tons), and measure of volume in order that they may be properly combined and compared. Except as otherwise provided herein, all prices, charges, and molasses weights are basis 79.5° brix, all references to “tons” shall mean short tons, and all prices and charges are measured in U.S. dollars.

(b) Man shall maintain books and records containing sufficient data to enable the Purchase Prices established using the Formula Pricing Mechanism and the Cost Plus Pricing Mechanism to be audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Man will make all such books, records and accounts available for inspection and photocopying by Westway following reasonable notice to the extent necessary to enable Westway to verify the accuracy of pricing calculated pursuant to the Formula Pricing Mechanism and the Cost Plus Pricing Mechanism. Man shall keep all such books, records and accounts for at least three years or any longer period required by applicable law, notwithstanding any earlier termination of this Agreement for any reason.

(c) Man will arrange for independent verification of the Reference Price calculated in accordance with Section 1.10(a) hereof on a quarterly basis by a reputable, independent certified public accounting firm. Man will provide the reports of such accounting firm to Westway within ten (10) days of receipt thereof.

(b) In the event that Westway elects in a rejection notice to return the rejected molasses, Westway shall not be obligated to pay the Purchase Price for such molasses and Man shall pay the cost of return shipment to Man of the rejected molasses. Within two (2) days of receiving the rejection notice, Man may contact Westway to discuss Westway’s election to return the rejected molasses and the feasibility of Westway’s remedying the defect. Westway may, in its sole discretion following such discourse, change its election to return the molasses and endeavor to remedy the defect. In the event that Westway does not change its election, Man may, in its sole discretion and during such two (2) day period, instruct Westway in writing to destroy the defective Purchased Molasses, at Man’s expense, in lieu of returning the molasses to Man.

(c) If Westway, in its sole discretion, undertakes to remedy the defect that is the basis of the rejection in lieu of requiring the replacement of the rejected molasses, Westway will be obligated to pay the Purchase Price for such rejected molasses, less the actual cost to Westway of reworking the defective Purchased Molasses, provided that the cost of reworking the defective Purchased Molasses shall not exceed the Purchase Price of the defective Purchased Molasses.

6.5 Invoicing. Man will invoice Westway upon placement of the loaded rail cars, barges or trucks with a reputable carrier for shipment, with respect to all deliveries to Feed Facilities other than those located in Seattle, WA, Baltimore, MD, Stockton, CA, or Albany, NY, with payment due from Westway within thirty (30) days from the date of delivery of the Purchased Molasses at the destination Feed Facility.

11.2 Inspection. Each party hereto shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice to the other party, but no more often than annually, to audit the other party’s compliance with its obligations hereunder. The party that demands the audit may only conduct such audit through an independent, third party consultant (the “Auditor”) that it selects and employs and that is reasonably acceptable to the party being audited. The party being audited may require that the Auditor execute a Confidentiality Agreement restricting the Auditor from disclosing any proprietary information gathered during the audit, provided that the Auditor shall be entitled to disclose to its client that information reasonably necessary to support the Auditor’s conclusion, if any, that the party being audited has not complied with its obligations hereunder. The Auditor shall be entitled to access, during normal business hours and without causing undue disruption to the operations of the audited party, to any books and records of the party being audited and its Affiliates reasonably necessary to determine compliance with such party’s obligations hereunder. In the event that the Auditor identifies any deficiency in the audited party’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the parties shall work in good faith to resolve the breach for a period of thirty days. If the parties are unable to resolve such dispute by the end of such thirty-day period, it shall be resolved in accordance with Section 11.7 hereinbelow.

11.3 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes or is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed amended to conform to applicable laws as to be valid and enforceable or, if it cannot be so amended without materially altering the intention of the parties, it shall be stricken and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

11.4 Neutral Interpretation. Each party has received independent legal advice from its attorneys with respect to the advisability of executing this Agreement and the meaning of the provisions hereof. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed as to their fair meaning, and not for or against any party based upon any attribution to such party as the source of the language in question.

11.5 Consent to Assignment. Assignment or transfer of this Agreement by one party to any other entity, directly or indirectly, shall not be permitted without the advance written consent of the other party.

11.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Louisiana, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach of any provision hereof shall be referred to three (3) arbitrators in New Orleans, Louisiana, one appointed by Man, one appointed by Westway, and the third appointed by the two so chosen. The decision of any two of the three arbitrators shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. The arbitration shall be held in New Orleans, Louisiana, pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the award rendered by all or a majority of the arbitrators may be entered in any court jurisdiction thereof.

To:		Westway Trading Tank Car Customers

Re:		Tank Car Rental Rates and Demurrage

The cost of new build tank cars continues to increase on the basis of higher steel costs and other factors. Renewal rates for older cars are also paralleling this trend. We retire many of our older cars each year as their useful life expires and we are required to take on more of these higher cost cars to maintain a minimum fleet level to meet customer requirements. We have not increased rates for two years but we find it necessary to increase our rates by $1.50 per ton due to these cost factors.

The following is the cost structure we are putting in place effective October 1st, 2008:

Distance from Origin to Destination	Rate Per Ton

Less than 500 miles	$	8.50 per ton
500 miles to 1,000 miles	$	9.50 per ton
1,000 miles to 1,500 miles	$	10.50 per ton
Over 1,500 miles	$	11.50 per ton

We will also increase our demurrage rate after six (6) free days to $20.00 per day (previously $17.50 per day).

Rates for specialized equipment may vary from this schedule.

We are well aware that the combined cost of our products and services has to be competitive in the market place and we are committed to this position.

If you have any questions about these revised costs or market conditions please contact your respective sales personnel or contact at Westway Trading Corporation.

Sincerely,

Xxxx Xxxxxxx

Thirty million (30,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock shall be designated Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and shall have the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, set forth in Section 4.3 of this Article Fourth.

4.1.2.Upon the filing and effectiveness (the “Effective Time”) of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware each share of common stock of the Corporation, par value $.0001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Old Common Stock”) shall be automatically reclassified into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Class A Common Stock, without any action by the holder thereof

4.2. Common Stock. The powers, preferences and relative participating, optional and other special rights and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock shall be identical in all respects, except as otherwise required by law or expressly provided in this Certificate of Incorporation. Except as otherwise required by law, as otherwise provided in the terms of any class or series of stock having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, or as provided in Section 4.3, the holders of Common Stock shall possess the rights listed below.

4.2.1. Dividends. Holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive ratably, on a per share basis, such dividends or other distributions payable in cash, stock or otherwise when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the payment thereof, and shall share equally on a per share basis in all such dividends or other distributions. No dividend or other distribution may be declared or paid on any share of Class A Common Stock unless a like dividend or other distribution is simultaneously declared or paid, as the case may be, on each share of Class B Common Stock, nor may any dividend or other distribution be declared or paid on any share of Class B Common Stock unless a like dividend or other distribution is simultaneously declared or paid, as the case may be, on each share of Class A Common stock, in each case without preference or priority of any kind; provided, however, that if dividends are declared that are payable in shares of Common Stock or in rights, options, warrants or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, dividends shall be declared that are payable at the same rate on both classes of Common Stock,

and the dividends payable to holders of Class A Common Stock shall be paid in shares of Class A Common Stock or in rights, options, warrants or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Class A Common Stock, and the dividends payable to holders of shares of Class B Common Stock shall be paid in shares of Class B Common Stock or in rights, options, warrants or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Class B Common Stock shall be payable to holders of Class B Common Stock. Any declared dividends and other distributions in respect of any shares of Class A Common Stock held in escrow pursuant to the Stock Escrow Agreement (as defined in Subsection 4.3.1.3.8) shall accrue on the books and records of the Corporation, but shall not be paid, with respect to any such escrowed shares pursuant to this Section 4.2.1.

4.2.2. Distribution of Assets. In the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive pro rata, in accordance with their respective rights and interests, all of the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders after all amounts to which the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled have been paid or set aside in cash for payment. The Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall rank pari passu with each other with respect to any such distribution.

4.2.3. Voting Rights.

4.2.3.1. General Rights. Except as otherwise provided by the DGCL or herein and subject to the rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock, the entire voting power of the shares of the Corporation for the election of directors and for all other purposes, as well as all other rights pertaining to shares of the Corporation, shall be vested exclusively in the Common Stock.

4.2.3.2.2. Subject to Subsection 4.2.3.2.6, in the event that, and for so long as, ED&F owns, beneficially or of record, less than 35%, but at least 25% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation, the holders of Class B Common Stock, voting as a separate class, shall have the right to elect two members of the Board of Directors.

4.2.3.2.3. Subject to Subsection 4.2.3.2.6, in the event that, and for so long as, ED&F owns, beneficially or of record, less than 25%, but at least 10% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation, the holders of Class B Common Stock, voting as a separate class, shall have the right to elect one member of the Board of Directors.

4.2.3.2.4. The calculation of the amount of outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation owned by ED&F, beneficially or of record, for purposes of Subsections 4.2.3.2.1, 4.2.3.2.2 and 4.2.3.2.3 shall be made assuming that the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at the time of such calculation (including any shares of Series A Preferred Stock held in escrow pursuant to the Stock Escrow Agreement) were converted into Common Stock at the then-current Series A Conversion Price immediately before the making of such calculation.

4.2.3.2.5. The holders of Class A Common Stock, voting as a separate class, shall have the right to elect all members of the Board of Directors, other than those members elected pursuant to Subsections 4.2.3.2.1, 4.2.3.2.2 and 4.2.3.2.3; provided, however that, at all times, at least 51% of the members the Board of Directors shall be “Independent” of ED&F, as such term is defined in Section 8.1.

4.2.3.2.6. In the event that the size of the Board of Directors is increased or decreased, the rights to elect members of the Board of Directors set out in Subsections 4.2.3.2.1 through 4.2.3.2.3 and 4.2.3.2.5 shall be adjusted proportionally so as to preserve as nearly as possible the ratio reflected in Subsections 4.2.3.2.1 through 4.2.3.2.3 of (x) the number of members of the Board of Directors elected by holders of Class A Common Stock to (y) the number of members of the Board of Directors elected by holders of Class B Common Stock; provided that if such adjustment would result in the holders of Class A Common Stock and/or Class B Common Stock being entitled to elect a number of members of the Board of Directors which is not a whole number, any such number shall instead be rounded to the nearest whole number.

4.2.3.3. Amendments to Respective Rights. The Corporation shall not amend, alter or repeal (whether by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise) any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation relating to:

(a) the powers, preferences and rights and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the Class A Common Stock, unless it first obtains an affirmative majority vote of the holders of the Class A Common Stock, voting as a separate class, in addition to any vote otherwise required by this Certificate of Incorporation or by law;

(b) the powers, preferences and rights and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the Class B Common Stock, unless it first obtains an affirmative majority vote of the holders of the Class B Common Stock, voting as a separate class, in addition to any vote otherwise required by this Certificate of Incorporation or by law; or

(c) the amendment of the By-Laws, unless it first obtains an affirmative majority vote of the holders of the Class A Common Stock, voting as a separate class, and an affirmative majority vote of the holders of the Class B Common Stock, voting as a separate class, in addition to any vote otherwise required by this Certificate of Incorporation or by law.

4.2.4. Reclassification, Subdivision, Combination, Merger.

4.2.4.1. Reclassification, Subdivision or Combination. If the Corporation in any manner reclassifies, subdivides or combines the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, the outstanding shares of the Class B Common Stock shall be proportionately reclassified, subdivided or combined, as the case may be. If the Corporation in any manner, reclassifies, subdivides or combines the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, the outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock shall be proportionately reclassified, subdivided or combined, as the case may be.

4.2.4.2. Merger. In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another entity (whether or not the Corporation is the surviving entity), the holders of Class A Common Stock and the holders of Class B Common Stock shall each be entitled to receive the same per-share consideration, if any, to be paid in connection with such merger or consolidation, as if the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock were identical.

4.2.5. Conversion of Class B Common Stock.

4.2.5.1. Automatic Conversion. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.2, at any time that a share of Class B Common Stock ceases to be owned beneficially or of record by ED&F, such share of Class B Common Stock, without any further action or deed on the part of the Corporation or any other Person, shall automatically convert into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock. The date of such conversion is referred to herein as the “Conversion Date.”

4.2.5.2. No Optional Conversion. The shares of Class A Common Stock shall not be convertible into shares of Class B Common Stock at the option of the holders thereof. The shares of Class B Common Stock shall not be convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holders thereof.

4.2.5.3. Mechanics of Conversion.

4.2.5.3.1. On the Conversion Date: (1) the Person in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issuable upon conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares of Class A Common Stock represented thereby at such time, and (2) the shares of Class B Common Stock so converted shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and all rights of a holder with respect to such shares shall immediately terminate except the right to receive certificates representing shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Section 4.2.5.

Upon the occurrence of such conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock, the holder of such converted shares shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares at the office of the Corporation (or any transfer agent of the Corporation previously designated by the Corporation to the holders of Class B Common Stock for this purpose). Unless the shares issuable upon conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in

which such shares of Class B Common Stock are registered, each share surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the holder or the holder’s duly authorized attorney. As promptly as practicable after the surrender by the holder of the certificates for shares of Class B Common Stock as aforesaid, the Corporation shall (i) issue and shall deliver to such holder, or on the holder’s written order to the holder’s transferee, a certificate or certificates for the whole number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such shares of Class B Common Stock.

All shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock will, upon issuance, be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free from any preemptive rights imposed by the DGCL or this Certificate of Incorporation and free from all taxes, liens, security interests and charges (other than liens or charges created by or imposed upon the holder or taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously therewith).

4.2.5.3.2. From the date hereof, the Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from any preemptive rights imposed by the DGCL or this Certificate of Incorporation, out of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting conversions of the Class B Common Stock, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock (as if all shares of Class B Common Stock are so convertible). The Corporation shall procure, at its sole expense, the listing of all shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Class B Common Stock, subject to issuance or notice of issuance, on the principal United States securities exchange or market on which the Class A Common Stock is then listed or traded. The Corporation shall take all actions as may be necessary to ensure that all shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Class B Common Stock are issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation or of any requirement of any securities exchange or market on which the shares of Class A Common Stock are listed or traded.

4.2.5.3.3. The Corporation shall issue certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock without charge to the holder of shares of Class B Common Stock or any of its transferees for any issue or transfer tax (other than taxes in respect of any transfer of Class B Common Stock occurring contemporaneously therewith) or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Corporation; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock in a name other than that of the transferee of the Class B Common Stock that is to receive shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 4.2.5, and no such issuance or delivery need be made unless and until the Person requesting such issuance or delivery has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been, or will timely be, paid.

4.2.5.3.4. The Corporation shall cause each share of Class A Common Stock issued as a result of conversion of Class B Common Stock to be accompanied by any rights associated generally with each other share of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of the applicable Conversion Date.

4.3. Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is hereby expressly authorized to provide for the issuance of all or any of the remaining shares of the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and to fix the number of shares and to determine or alter for each such series such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional, or other rights and such qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issuance of such shares and as may be permitted by the DGCL. The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock subsequent to the issuance of shares of that series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding and not in the aggregate above the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock. In case the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock shall be decreased in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series. In all cases, the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.3 shall be subject to any other applicable provisions contained herein.

4.3.1. Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock.

4.3.1.1. Generally. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall rank equally with all other shares of Series A Preferred Stock in all respects and shall be subject to the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation.

4.3.1.2. Rank. The Series A Preferred Stock shall, with respect to payment of Base Dividends (as defined below) and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, (a) rank senior and prior to the Common Stock and each other class or series of equity securities of the Corporation, whether currently issued or issued in the future, that by its terms ranks junior to the Series A Preferred Stock (whether with respect to payment of dividends, rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, or otherwise) (all of such equity securities, including the Common Stock, are collectively referred to herein as the “Series A Junior Securities”), (b) rank on a parity with each other class or series of equity securities of the Corporation, whether currently issued or issued in the future, that does not by its terms expressly provide that it ranks senior to or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock (whether with respect to payment of dividends, rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, or

otherwise) (all of such equity securities are collectively referred to herein as the “Series A Parity Securities”), and (c) rank junior to each other class or series of equity securities of the Corporation, whether currently issued or issued in the future, that by its terms ranks senior to the Series A Preferred Stock (whether with respect to payment of dividends, rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, or otherwise) (all of such equity securities are collectively referred to herein as the “Series A Senior Securities”). The respective definitions of Series A Junior Securities, Series A Parity Securities and Series A Senior Securities shall also include any rights, options or warrants exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into any of the Series A Junior Securities, Series A Parity Securities or Series A Senior Securities, as the case may be.

4.3.1.3. Dividends.

4.3.1.3.1. Cash dividends in the amount of $0.0344 per share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Base Dividend”) shall accrue on a quarterly basis from and including the issuance date of such share of Series A Preferred Stock until the seventh anniversary of the Closing, whether or not earned or declared, and whether or not there are any profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends.

4.3.1.3.2. The obligation of the Corporation to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall be cumulative so that if the full amount required to be paid for any Series A Dividend Period (as defined in Subsection 4.3.1.3.4) shall not have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof irrevocably set apart, the amount not paid shall continue to be accrued on the books and records of the Corporation.

4.3.1.3.3. Subject to the DGCL and the rights of any holders of Series A Parity Securities and Series A Senior Securities, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors such dividends, when available, out of the assets or the profits of the Corporation legally available therefor.

4.3.1.3.4. Once declared, Base Dividends on the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be payable with respect to each period commencing on and including the later of (x) the issuance date of such shares and (y) the most recent Dividend Payment Date on which Base Dividends were paid with respect to such shares and ending on, but not including, the next succeeding Dividend Payment Date (each such period, a “Series A Dividend Period”), to holders of Series A Preferred Stock of record as of the related Dividend Record Date. Base Dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to any period other than a full Series A Dividend Period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. If a Dividend Payment Date is not a Business Day, payment of Base Dividends shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no additional amount shall accrue in respect thereof as a result of such delayed payment.

4.3.1.3.5. In the event that the Board of Directors declares a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to a Series A Dividend Period in an amount less than the full amount payable to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock with respect to such Series A Dividend Period, pursuant to Subsections 4.3.1.3.1 through 4.3.1.3.4 (such lesser amount, a “Partial Series A Dividend”), such Partial Series A Dividend shall be distributed to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis with respect to the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of the related Dividend Record Date; provided, however, that any shares of

Series A Preferred Stock held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement (as defined below) shall not be treated as outstanding for purposes of payment (though the amount not paid shall continue to be accrued on the books and records of the Corporation). If at any time the Corporation pays less than the total amount of dividends then accrued with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, such payment shall be distributed pro rata among the holders thereof based on the aggregate accrued but unpaid dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by each such holder.

4.3.1.3.6. Restrictions on Dividends in Respect of Series A Parity Securities and Series A Junior Securities.

4.3.1.3.6.1. The Corporation may pay or set aside funds for the payment of a dividend or other distribution in respect of Series A Junior Securities if, and only if, (i) all accrued and unpaid Base Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock have been declared and paid for all prior Series A Dividend Periods, as required by Subsections 4.3.1.3.1 and 4.3.1.3.2, and (ii) the Board of Directors has declared, and the Corporation pays, contemporaneously with the payment of such dividend, the accrued, but unpaid, portion of each Base Dividend payable to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Subsections 4.3.1.3.1 and 4.3.1.3.2 with respect to the Series A Dividend Period in which such payment of a dividend or other distribution in respect of any Series A Parity Securities or Series A Junior Securities would occur (each, a “Corresponding Series A Dividend Payment”). For each Series A Dividend Period in which a Corresponding Series A Dividend Payment has been made, the amount of the dividend otherwise payable per each share of Series A Preferred Stock on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date pursuant to Subsection 4.3.1.3.1 and 4.3.1.3.2 shall be reduced by the amount of any Corresponding Series A Dividend Payments paid on account of such share during such Series A Dividend Period.

4.3.1.3.6.2. For so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, unless the Corporation has obtained the written consent or affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a single class (each share of Series A Preferred Stock having a vote equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable as of the record date in respect of such vote upon conversion of one share of Series A Preferred Stock), in person or by proxy, either by consent in lieu of a meeting or at a special or annual meeting of stockholders called for that purpose, until (x) all accrued but unpaid Base Dividends have been paid on the Series A Preferred Stock by the Corporation for any prior Series A Dividend Period, and (y) the Board of Directors has declared, and the Corporation has paid, that portion of the Base Dividend with respect to the current Series A Dividend Period, the following restrictions shall be applicable:

(A) no dividend or distribution may be declared, set aside or paid on any Series A Junior Securities (other than in shares of Series A Junior Securities or options or warrants to acquire such Series A Junior Securities);

(B) the Corporation may not, directly or indirectly, repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire (and no monies may be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption, purchase or other acquisition of any shares of Series A Junior Securities) any shares of Series A Junior Securities (except by conversion into or exchange for Series A Junior Securities or for purposes of any employee benefit plan then in effect) other than the repurchase or redemption of warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock (other than from Shermen WSC Holding LLC or any officer or director of the Corporation) for an aggregate purchase price not greater than $15,000,000; and

(C) the Corporation may not, directly or indirectly, repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire and no monies may be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption, purchase or other acquisition of any shares of Series A Junior Securities or Series A Parity Securities otherwise than pursuant to a concurrent pro rata redemption, purchase or other acquisition of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and such other Series A Parity Securities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Certificate of Incorporation shall restrict the Corporation at any time from repurchasing the warrants to purchase shares of its common stock (the “Warrants”) at a price per Warrant equal to $0.01 per share of common stock that the holder of such Warrant may purchase thereunder, to the extent the terms of the Warrants permit the Corporation to repurchase the Warrants at such price.

If a portion of any Base Dividend payable to holders of Series A Preferred Stock has been paid with respect to the current Series A Dividend Period as required by and in accordance with this Subsection 4.3.1.3.6.2, the amount of the dividend otherwise payable to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock on the Dividend Payment Date for such current Series A Dividend Period pursuant to Subsections 4.3.1.3.1 through 4.3.1.3.5 shall be reduced by the amount of such payment.

4.3.1.3.7. Participation Rights of Series A Preferred Stock; Waiver.

4.3.1.3.7.1. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to participate equally and ratably with the holders of shares of Common Stock in all dividends and distributions paid (whether in the form of cash, securities, evidences of indebtedness, or assets, of the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person (or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or acquire any of the foregoing), or otherwise) on the shares of Common Stock as if immediately prior to each Dividend Record Date for the Common Stock, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding were converted into shares of Common Stock (in the manner described in Section 4.3.1.6); provided, however, that holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any dividend or distribution declared and paid on shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock in connection with the Closing. Dividends or distributions payable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be payable to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock on the same date that such dividends or distributions are payable to holders of shares of Common Stock. Each such dividend or distribution shall be payable to the holders of

record of shares of Series A Preferred Stock as they appear on the stock records of the Corporation at the close of business on the applicable Dividend Record Date.

4.3.1.3.7.2. Holders of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock may waive their right to participate in each dividend or distribution made on Common Stock pursuant to this Subsection 4.3.1.3.7 with respect to such shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Any such waiver shall be evidenced in a writing delivered to the Corporation at least ten (10) days prior to the relevant Dividend Payment Date.

4.3.1.3.8. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock Held in Escrow. For so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are held in escrow pursuant to the Stock Escrow Agreement, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 0.0.0.0:

(a) any declared dividends and other distributions in respect of such escrowed shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall accrue on the books and records of the Corporation, but shall not be paid, with respect to any such escrowed shares pursuant to this Section 4.3.1.3;

(b) any restrictions on dividends with respect to any Series A Parity and Series A Junior Securities set out in Section 4.3.1.3.6 shall be deemed to be waived by the holders of, and shall have no effect with respect to, any such escrowed shares; provided, however, that such restrictions shall remain in effect with respect to any issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock not held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement; and

(c) any such escrowed shares which are subsequently released from escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement shall be treated, in all cases, as if such shares had been issued and delivered at the Closing to the Person receiving such shares upon their release from escrow, and as if such shares were outstanding as of the date of the Closing, and the Corporation shall pay all dividends and other distributions that have accrued on such shares during the period from the Closing until the date of such release from escrow.

4.3.1.3.9. No dividend or other distribution on the Series A Preferred Stock shall be authorized or declared by the Board of Directors or be paid or set aside for payment by the Corporation if and to the extent the terms and provisions of any agreement entered into by the Corporation in compliance with applicable law and the Corporation’s contractual obligations (whether existing on the date of the Closing or thereafter), including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, would prohibit such authorization, declaration, payment or setting apart for payment or provide that such authorization, declaration, payment or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof, or a default thereunder, or if such authorization, declaration or payment would be restricted or prohibited by law.

4.3.1.4. Liquidation Preference.

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall, with respect to each such share of Series A Preferred Stock, be entitled to receive the greater of (a) $5.50 per such share of Series A Preferred Stock, in each case plus an amount equal to any Base Dividends accrued thereon pursuant to Sections 4.3.1.3.1 through 4.3.1.3.4 and remaining unpaid thereon and (b) at any time, the payment such holders would have received had such holders, immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, converted such share of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock (at the conversion rate described in Section 4.3.1.6), in each case, before any payment or distribution of any assets or profits of the Corporation is made or set apart for holders of any Series A Junior Securities (the “Series A Liquidation Preference”). If the assets distributable in any such event to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full preferential amounts to which they may be entitled, such assets shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amount each such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive. For purposes of this Section 4.3.1.4, neither (x) the sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer for cash, shares of stock, other securities or other consideration of all or substantially all the assets or business of the Corporation (other than in connection with the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding up or dissolution of the Corporation) nor (y) the merger, consolidation or share exchange of the Corporation into or with any other Person shall be deemed to be a liquidation, winding up or dissolution, voluntary or involuntary.

4.3.1.5. Voting Rights.

4.3.1.5.1. Subject to Subsection 4.2.3.2.4 and except as set forth in Subsection 4.3.1.5.2, holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote (in their capacity as holders of Series A Preferred Stock) on any matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation, but shall be entitled to prior written notice of, and to attend and observe, all special and annual meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation.

4.3.1.5.2. For so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the written consent or affirmative vote by holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a single class (each share of Series A Preferred Stock having a vote equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable as of the record date in respect of such vote upon conversion of one share of Series A Preferred Stock), in person or by proxy, either by consent in lieu of a meeting or at a special or annual meeting of stockholders called for that purpose:

(a) amend, alter or repeal (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or the by-laws of the Corporation (the “By-Laws”) so as to, or in a manner that would, adversely affect the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of the Series A Preferred Stock or in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of the Stockholder’s Agreement entered into by the Corporation and Westway Holdings

Corporation on the date of the Closing, and without limitation of the rights of any party thereto;

(b) reclassify any Common Stock or any other Series A Junior Securities into shares or other securities having any preference or priority as to the payment of dividends, or the distribution of assets or profits superior to, or on a parity with, any such preference or priority of the Series A Preferred Stock;

(c) create, increase the number of authorized shares of or issue, or obligate itself to issue, any class of equity securities or series of Preferred Stock, including any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity security, having any preference or priority superior to or on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock;

(d) increase the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock;

(e) conduct a Pro Rata Repurchase, other than the repurchase or redemption of warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock (other than from Shermen WSC Holding LLC or any officer or director of the Corporation) for an aggregate purchase price not greater than $15,000,000; or

(f) sell, convey, or otherwise dispose of or encumber all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Corporation, or enter into a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, stock purchase or other transaction resulting in the acquisition of the Corporation by another person (except for any such transaction after the consummation of which the stockholders of the Corporation own in excess of 50% of the voting securities of the surviving entity or its parent and that does not otherwise require the consent of the Series A Preferred Stock under Section 4.3.1.5.2(a)).

4.3.1.5.3. The consent or votes required in Subsection 4.3.1.5.2 hereof shall be in addition to any approval of stockholders of the Corporation which may be required by law or pursuant to any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws.

4.3.1.6. Conversion.

4.3.1.6.1. Right To Convert.

4.3.1.6.1.1. Subject to the provisions of this Subsection 4.3.1.6.1, a holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, at such holder’s option, to convert any or all of such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the conversion price equal to the “Initial Series A Conversion Price” per share of Common Stock (as defined below), subject to adjustment as described in Subsection 4.3.1.6.5 (as adjusted, the “Series A Conversion Price”). The number of shares of Common Stock into which one share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/10,000th

of a share) shall be determined by dividing (A) $5.50 plus the amount of any Base Dividends and other dividends and distributions which have accrued prior to the applicable Series A Conversion Date (as defined below) on such share of Series A Preferred Stock (such amount being the “Series A Preferred Share Price”) by (B) the Series A Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion. The “Initial Series A Conversion Price” shall be $5.50.

4.3.1.6.1.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any share of Series A Preferred Stock owned beneficially or of record by ED&F shall not be convertible into any share of Common Stock to the extent that such conversion would result in the combined record or beneficial ownership by ED&F of greater than 49.5% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation.

4.3.1.6.1.3. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock which are converted into Common Stock pursuant to this Section 4.3.1.6 shall (i) if owned beneficially or of record by ED&F, be converted into shares of Class B Common Stock pursuant to Subsection 4.3.1.6.2 or (ii) if not owned beneficially or of record by ED&F, be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to Subsection 4.3.1.6.2.

4.3.1.6.2. Mechanics of Conversion.

4.3.1.6.2.1. A holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that elects to exercise its conversion rights pursuant to Subsection 4.3.1.6.1 shall provide notice to the Corporation as follows:

(a) To exercise its conversion right pursuant to Subsection 4.3.1.6.1.1 hereof, the holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares at the office of the Corporation (or any transfer agent of the Corporation previously designated by the Corporation to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock for this purpose) with a written notice of election to convert, completed and signed, specifying the number of shares to be converted.

(b) Unless the shares issuable upon conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are registered, each share surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the holder or the holder’s duly authorized attorney, and an amount sufficient to pay any transfer or similar tax in accordance with Subsection 4.3.1.6.2.5 hereof (or evidence that such tax has been or will timely be paid, as provided by Subsection 4.3.1.6.2.5). As promptly as practicable after the surrender by the holder of the certificates for shares of Series A Preferred Stock as aforesaid (but in any event within three Business Days), the Corporation shall (i) issue and shall deliver to such holder, or on the holder’s written order to the holder’s transferee, a certificate or certificates for the whole number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such shares and a check payable in an amount corresponding to any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock as provided in

Subsection 4.3.1.6.2.6 hereof and (ii) issue and deliver a certificate representing any shares of Series A Preferred Stock which were represented by the certificate or certificates delivered to the Corporation in connection with such conversion but which were not converted.

4.3.1.6.2.2. Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the first Business Day on which the certificates for shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have been surrendered and such notice received by the Corporation pursuant to Subsection 4.3.1.6.2.1 (the “Series A Conversion Date”). At such time on the Series A Conversion Date: (x) the Person in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock represented thereby, and (y) the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and all rights of a holder with respect to such shares surrendered for conversion shall immediately terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock and other amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.3.1.6.

4.3.1.6.2.3. All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock will, upon delivery, be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free from all preemptive rights imposed by this Certificate of Incorporation and free from all taxes, liens, security interests and charges, including without limitation any issuance, documentary, stamp, transfer or similar tax or governmental charge (other than liens or charges created by or imposed upon the holder or taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously therewith) or other costs incurred by the Corporation connection with such conversion and the related issuance of shares of Common Stock.

4.3.1.6.2.4. Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the close of business on the Dividend Record Date for any payment of a dividend or other distribution in which shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to participate pursuant to Section 4.3.1.6.3 hereof shall be entitled to receive the dividend or other distribution payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion thereof following such Dividend Record Date and prior to such Dividend Payment Date, and a holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock on a Dividend Record Date who (or whose transferee) tenders any such shares for conversion into shares of Common Stock on such Dividend Payment Date will receive the dividend or other distribution payable by the Corporation on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock if and when paid, and the converting holder need not include payment of the amount of such dividend or distribution upon surrender of shares of Series A Preferred Stock for conversion.

4.3.1.6.2.5. From the date hereof, the Corporation will at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting conversions of the Series A Preferred Stock, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, as the case may be, issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (as

if all shares of Series A Preferred Stock are so convertible). The Corporation will procure, at its sole expense, the listing of all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to issuance or notice of issuance, on the principal domestic stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded. The Corporation will take all actions as may be necessary to ensure that all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock will be issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation or of any requirement of any securities exchange on which the shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock are listed or traded.

4.3.1.6.2.6. Issuances of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or any of its transferees for any issue or transfer tax, including without limitation any issuance, documentary, stamp, transfer or similar tax or governmental charge (other than taxes in respect of any transfer of Series A Preferred Stock occurring contemporaneously therewith) or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Corporation.

4.3.1.6.2.7. In connection with the conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, no fractions of shares of Common Stock shall be issued, but in lieu thereof the Corporation shall pay cash in respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to such fractional interest multiplied by the Market Price (as defined below) per share of Common Stock on the applicable Series A Conversion Date.

4.3.1.6.2.8. The Corporation shall ensure that each share of Common Stock issued as a result of conversion of Series A Preferred Stock shall be accompanied by any rights associated generally with each other share of Common Stock outstanding as of the applicable Series A Conversion Date.

4.3.1.6.2.9. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, and except as required by law, the Corporation will not close it books against the transfer of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or take any other action in any manner which interferes with the timely conversion of such shares.

4.3.1.6.3. Adjustments to Series A Conversion Price. From and after the date shares of Series A Preferred Stock are initially issued, the Series A Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

4.3.1.6.3.1. Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. If the Corporation (A) declares a dividend or makes a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivides or reclassifies the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (C) combines or reclassifies the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Series A Conversion Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or

reclassification shall be adjusted to the number obtained by multiplying the Series A Conversion Price theretofore in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such action, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately following such action; provided, however, that the Series A Conversion Price with respect to any shares of Series A Preferred Stock need not be adjusted in respect of a dividend or distribution covered by this paragraph to the extent the holder thereof participates in such dividend or distribution equally and ratably on an as-converted basis for such Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Subsection 4.3.1.3.

4.3.1.6.3.2. Other Distributions. If the Corporation fixes a Dividend Record Date for the making of a dividend or distribution to all holders of shares of its Common Stock of (A) shares of any class of stock of any Person other than shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock, or (B) evidence of indebtedness of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, or (C) assets (excluding dividends or distributions covered by Subsection 4.3.1.6.3.1 hereof), or (D) rights or warrants in respect of any of the foregoing, then in each such case the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be reduced immediately thereafter to the price determined by multiplying (1) the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Market Price per share of Common Stock on such Dividend Record Date less the then fair market value (as determined by a firm of independent public accountants or an independent appraiser, in each case, of recognized national standing selected by the Board of Directors, provided that such value shall not for purposes hereof in any event be equal to or greater than the Market Price per share of Common Stock on such record date) as of such Dividend Record Date of the shares, assets, evidences of indebtedness, rights or warrants so paid with respect to one share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the Market Price per share of Common Stock on such Dividend Record Date; provided, further, however, that the Series A Conversion Price of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by a holder thereof need not be reduced in respect of a dividend or distribution covered by this Subsection 4.3.1.6.3.2 to the extent such holder shall participate in such dividend or distribution equally and ratably on an as-converted basis for such Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4.3.1.3. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so made, the Series A Conversion Price then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors determines not to distribute such shares, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights or warrants, as the case may be, to the Series A Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.

4.3.1.6.3.3. Certain Repurchases of Common Stock. If the Corporation effects a Pro Rata Repurchase of Common Stock, then the Series A Conversion Price shall be reduced to the price determined by multiplying the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date of such Pro Rata Repurchase by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at such Effective Date, multiplied by (B) the Market Price per share of Common Stock on the trading day next succeeding such Effective Date, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (X) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to

stockholders of the Corporation based upon the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of such Effective Date (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased Shares”) and (Y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at such Effective Date and the Market Price per share of Common Stock on the trading day next succeeding such Effective Date, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Effective Date.

The Series A Conversion Price need not be adjusted under the preceding paragraph in respect of a Pro Rata Repurchase if (A) the consideration offered and paid by the Corporation in such Pro Rata Repurchase consists solely of cash and (B) concurrently with the related Offer (as defined below) by the Corporation to the holders of Common Stock in respect of such Pro Rata Repurchase, the Corporation also makes an offer, in writing and in compliance with applicable laws, to all holders of Series A Preferred Stock to purchase a percentage of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the percentage of all shares of Common Stock that the Corporation has offered to purchase under the related Offer, which offer to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be open for the same period, offer the same form of consideration, and otherwise be on the same terms and conditions, as such Offer to the holders of Common Stock in all material respects, provided that the amount of consideration payable by the Corporation per share of Series A Preferred Stock in such offer to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be equal to the product of (X) the amount of consideration payable by the Corporation per share of Common Stock in the Offer to the holders of Common Stock multiplied by (Y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which one share of Series A Preferred Stock could be converted under this Section 4.3.1.6 at such time.

4.3.1.6.3.4. Business Combinations. In case of any Business Combination or reclassification of Common Stock (other than a reclassification of Common Stock covered by Subsection 4.3.1.6.3.1 hereof), lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of such Business Combination or reclassification whereby the holder of each share of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon the Business Combination or reclassification by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation into which a share of Series A Preferred Stock would have been convertible at the conversion rate described under this Subsection 4.3.1.6 immediately prior to the Business Combination or reclassification. The Corporation, or the Person formed by the consolidation or resulting from the merger or which acquires such assets or which acquires the Corporation’s shares, as the case may be, shall make provisions in its certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent documents to establish such rights and to ensure that the rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock established in this Certificate of Incorporation are unchanged, except as permitted by Section 4.3.1.6 hereof or as required by applicable law. The certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent documents shall provide for adjustments, which, for events subsequent to the effective date of the certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent

documents, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4.3.1.6.

4.3.1.6.3.5. Successive Adjustments. Successive adjustments in the Series A Conversion Price shall be made, without duplication, whenever any event specified in Subsections 4.3.1.6.3.1 through 4.3.1.6.3.4 shall occur.

4.3.1.6.3.6. Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustments. All calculations under this Subsection 4.3.1.6.3 shall be made to the nearest one-thousandth (1/1,000th) of a cent. No adjustment in the Series A Conversion Price is required if the amount of such adjustment would be less than $0.01; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Subsection 4.3.1.6.3.6 are not required to be made will be carried forward and given effect in any subsequent adjustment.

4.3.1.6.3.7. Voluntary Adjustment by the Corporation. The Corporation may at its option, at any time during the term of the Series A Preferred Stock, reduce the then current Series A Conversion Price to any amount deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that if the Corporation elects to make such adjustment, such adjustment will remain in effect for at least a 15-day period, after which time the Corporation may, at its option, reinstate the Series A Conversion Price in effect prior to such reduction, subject to any interim adjustments pursuant to this Subsection 4.3.1.6.3. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during any time that Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, in no event will the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock exceed a number of shares that would require, pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 4350, stockholder approval.

4.3.1.6.3.8. Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Series A Conversion Price shall be adjusted as provided in this Subsection 4.3.1.6.3, the Corporation shall forthwith file, at the principal office of the Corporation, a certificate showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Series A Conversion Price that shall be in effect after such adjustment and the Corporation shall also cause a copy of such certificate to be sent by mail, first class postage prepaid, to each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the address appearing in the Corporation’s records.

4.3.1.6.3.9. Notices. In the event that the Corporation shall give notice or make a public announcement to the holders of Common Stock of any action of the type described in this Subsection 4.3.1.6.3, the Corporation shall, at the time of such notice or announcement, and in the case of any action which would require the fixing of a record date, at least 10 days prior to such record date, give notice to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in the manner set forth in Subsection 4.3.1.6.3.8, which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action and the approximate date on which such action is to take place. Such notice shall also set forth the facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect on the Series A Conversion Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other

securities or property which shall be deliverable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.

4.3.1.6.3.10. Protection of Conversion Rights. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation, shall not, without the written consent or affirmative vote at a meeting called for that purpose by holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a single and separate class, amend, alter or repeal any provisions of this Section 4.3.1.6 so as to, or in a manner that would, adversely affect the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of the Series A Preferred Stock.

4.3.1.7. Successors and Assigns.

All parties at any time holding any Series A Preferred Stock and any party purchasing any Series A Preferred Stock from any holder shall be entitled to the benefits of this Section 4.3. In the event that any holder transfers any Series A Preferred Stock such holder shall continue to have the benefits of this Section 4.3 for the period during which such holder was the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock and each subsequent holder thereof shall have all of the rights afforded the prior holder hereunder with the same force and effect as thought he name of such holder were substituted for the name of the prior holder herein.

4.3.1.8. Certain Other Provisions.

4.3.1.8.1. Initially, record and beneficial ownership of shares of Series A Preferred Stock may not be transferred by their holder, except by operation of law. Following the date that is eighteen months after the date of the Closing, record and beneficial ownership of shares of Series A Preferred Stock may, subject to all applicable state and federal laws, be transferred or sold by their holder.

4.3.1.8.2. In the event any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are converted pursuant to, or are otherwise acquired by the Corporation, the shares so converted or otherwise acquired shall be retired and cancelled, shall not be reissued by the Corporation as Series A Preferred Stock, and shall be eliminated from the shares of Series A Preferred Stock which the Corporation shall be authorized to issue.

4.3.1.8.3. No provision in this Certificate of Incorporation shall be construed to limit or impair (1) the right of each holder of Series A Preferred Stock to participate equally and ratably in dividends and distributions pursuant to Section 4.3.1.3 hereof or Series A Liquidation Preference payments pursuant to Section 4.3.1.4 hereof, in each case, on an as-converted basis as provided therein, or the operation of any of the conversion adjustment and other provisions of Section 4.3.1.4 hereof or (2) any of the other rights, preferences and privileges of a holder of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation or applicable law.

4.3.1.8.4. If any Series A Preferred Stock certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation will issue, in exchange and in substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the certificate lost, stolen or

destroyed, a new Series A Preferred Stock certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent amount of Series A Preferred Stock, upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such certificate and, if requested by the Corporation, an indemnity on customary terms for such situations reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation.

FIFTH: Elimination of Certain Liability of Directors. No director shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty as a director; provided, however, that to the extent required by the provisions of Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL or any successor statute, or any other laws of the State of Delaware, this provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (a) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the DGCL or (d) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL hereafter is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation, in addition to the limitation on personal liability provided herein, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the amended DGCL. Any repeal or modification of this Article Fifth by the stockholders of the Corporation shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director of the Corporation existing as of the time of such repeal or modification.

SIXTH: Indemnification.

6.1. Right to Indemnification of Directors and Officers. The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person (a “Covered Person”) who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by such Covered Person in such proceeding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify a Covered Person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such Covered Person only if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the Covered Person was authorized in advance by the Board of Directors. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, either rebut such presumption or create a presumption that (a) the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, (b) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the person had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful or (c) the person was not successful on the merits or

otherwise in defense of the proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein. If the DGCL is hereafter amended to provide for indemnification rights broader than those provided by this Section 6.1, then the persons referred to in this Section 6.1 shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as so amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior to such amendment).

6.2. Prepayment of Expenses of Directors and Officers. The Corporation shall pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that, to the extent required by law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Covered Person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article SIXTH or otherwise.

6.3. Claims by Directors and Officers. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article SIXTH is not paid in full within thirty days after a written claim therefor by the Covered Person has been received by the Corporation, the Covered Person may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.

6.4. Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made or is otherwise involved in any proceeding by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or, while an employee or agent of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorney’s fees) reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding. The ultimate determination of entitlement to indemnification of persons who are non-director or officer employees or agents shall be made in such manner as is determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Corporation shall not be required to indemnify a person in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person if the proceeding was not authorized in advance by the Board of Directors.

6.5. Advancement of Expenses of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may pay the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by an employee or agent in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition on such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Board of Directors.

6.6. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Article SIXTH shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of this certificate of incorporation, the by-laws of the Corporation, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

6.7. Other Indemnification. The Corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer or employee of another Corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other Corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise.

6.8. Insurance. The Board of Directors may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists, or may hereafter be amended from time to time, authorize an appropriate officer or officers to purchase and maintain at the Corporation’s expense insurance: (a) to indemnify the Corporation for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of directors, officers and employees under the provisions of this Article SIXTH; and (b) to indemnify or insure directors, officers and employees against liability in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by the Corporation under the provisions of this Article SIXTH.

6.9. Amendment or Repeal. Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing provisions of this Article SIXTH shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any Covered Person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification. The rights provided hereunder are contract rights that vest upon a Covered Person’s election as a director or officer, and shall inure to the benefit of any Covered Person and such person’s heirs, executors and administrators.

SEVENTH: Stockholder Action. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by stockholders pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation or under applicable law may be effected only at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and with a vote thereat, and may not be effected by consent in writing.

FORM OF
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

This REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT, dated as of (this “Agreement”), is made among Westway Group, Inc., formerly known as Shermen WSC Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Westway Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Stockholder”).

A. The Company, Terminal Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Feed Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, ED&F Man Holdings Limited, a company limited by shares organized under the laws of England and Wales, the Stockholder, Westway Terminal Company Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Westway Feed Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation, have entered into that certain Transaction Agreement, dated as of November 25, 2008 (the “Transaction Agreement”).

Upon the consummation of the closing under, and pursuant to, the Transaction Agreement, the Stockholder will acquire shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common Shares”) and shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001, of the Company (“Series A Shares”).

C. The Company and the Stockholder desire to enter into this Agreement to provide the Stockholder with certain rights relating to the registration of the Stockholder’s Common Shares and the Common Shares issuable to the Stockholder upon conversion of its Series A Shares.

D. This Agreement is the agreement referred to as the Registration Rights Agreement in, and its execution by the parties to this Agreement is a condition to the consummation of the closing under, the Transaction Agreement.

E. Capitalized terms used and not elsewhere defined in this Agreement have the meanings specified in Section 10.

Accordingly, in consideration of the foregoing, the parties agree as follows:

1. Demand Registrations.

(a) Requests for Registration. At any time following the date that is eighteen months after the date hereof (the “Start Date”), the Required Holders may request in writing that the Company effect the registration of all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by such Required Holders (a “Registration Request”); provided that the Company shall not be obligated to register a number of Registrable Securities equal to less than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock calculated on an As-Converted Basis. Promptly after its receipt of any Registration Request, the Company shall give written notice of such request to all other Holders, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to register, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, all Registrable Securities that have been requested to be registered by the Required Holders in the Registration Request or by any other Holders by written notice to the Company given within 30 days after the date the Company has given such Holders

notice of the Registration Request. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to this Section 1.

(b) Limitation on Demand Registrations. The Company will not be obligated to effect more than four registrations pursuant to this Section 1, provided that a request for registration will not count for the purposes of this limitation if (i) the Required Holders determine in good faith to withdraw (prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to such request) the proposed registration due to marketing or regulatory reasons, (ii) the Registration Statement relating to such request is not declared effective within 180 days of the date such registration statement is first filed with the Commission, (iii) prior to the sale of at least 90% of the Registrable Securities included in the registration relating to such request, such registration is adversely affected by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency or court for any reason and the Company fails to have such stop order, injunction or other order or requirement removed, withdrawn or resolved to the Required Holders’ reasonable satisfaction within 30 days of the date of such order, (iv) more than 20% of the Registrable Securities requested by the Required Holders to be included in the registration are not so included pursuant to Section 1(f), or (v) the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement or purchase agreement entered into in connection with the registration relating to such request are not satisfied (other than as a result of a default or breach thereunder by the Required Holders). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any request for registration pursuant to Section 1(a) regardless of whether or not such request counts toward the limitation set forth above. The Company will not be obligated to effect more than one registration pursuant to Section 1(a) during any 180-day period.

(c) Short-Form Registrations. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to qualify for registration on Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms or any similar short-form registration (“Short Form Registrations”). At any time after the Start Date, the Required Holders will be entitled to request an unlimited number of Short-Form Registrations, in addition to the registration rights provided in Section 1(a), provided that the Company shall not be obligated to register a number of Registrable Securities equal to less than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock calculated on an As-Converted Basis, and provided, further, that the Company will not be obligated to effect any registration pursuant to this Section 2(c) more than twice in any 360-day period. Promptly after its receipt of any request for a Short-Form Registration, the Company shall give written notice of such request to all other Holders, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to register, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, all Registrable Securities that any Holder has requested in writing to be registered by no later than the 15th day after the date of such notice. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any Short-Form Registration.

(d) Restrictions on Demand Registrations. The Company may postpone for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 120 days, the filing of a prospectus or the effectiveness of a Registration Statement for a Demand Registration if the Company

furnishes to the Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that the Company believes in good faith that such Demand Registration would have a material adverse effect on any major corporate development or major transaction of the Company then pending or in progress that has been previously presented to the board of directors of the Company or is described in reasonable detail to the Required Holders (a “Transaction”), provided that the Company may not effect such a postponement more than once in any 360-day period. If the Company so postpones the filing of a prospectus or the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, the Required Holders will be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such registration request will not count for the purposes of the limitation set forth in Section 1(b). The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any such aborted registration or prospectus.

(e) Selection of Underwriters. If the Required Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their Registration Request by means of an underwritten offering, they must so advise the Company as a part of the Registration Request, and the Company shall include such information in the notice sent by the Company to the other Holders with respect to such Registration Request. In such event, the Required Holders will have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering, which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. If the offering is underwritten, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 1 will be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise agreed by the Required Holders), and each such Holder must (together with the Company and the other Holders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement and other customary agreements in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the managing underwriter and the Required Holders.

(f) Priority on Demand Registrations. The Company may not include in any underwritten registration pursuant to Sections 2(a) or (c) any securities that are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Required Holders. If the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that in its opinion the number of Registrable Securities (and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering) exceeds the number of securities that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company may include in such offering only such number of securities that in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, which securities must be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, Registrable Securities, pro rata among the respective Holders thereof on the basis of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by each such Holder, and (ii) second, any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so included. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no employee of the Company or any subsidiary thereof will be entitled to participate, directly or indirectly, in any such registration to the extent that the managing underwriter (or, in the case of an offering that is not underwritten, a nationally recognized investment banking firm) determines in good faith that the

participation of such employee in such registration would adversely affect the marketability or offering price of the securities being sold in such registration.

(g) Other Registration Rights. Except for registration rights granted in connection with a Transaction or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Company may not grant to any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company registration rights with respect to such securities which are senior or pari passu to the rights granted hereunder without the prior written consent of the Required Holders.

2. Piggyback Registrations.

(a) Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities (other than a registration pursuant to Section 1, relating solely to employee benefit plans, relating solely to the sale of debt or convertible debt instruments relating to a Unit Offering, or in connection with a Transaction) and the registration form to be filed may be used for the registration or qualification for distribution of Registrable Securities, following the date of filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or other applicable regulatory authority of the registration statement or similar document with respect to such registration, the Company shall give prompt written notice to all Holders of its intention to effect such a registration and shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within fifteen (15) days after the date of the Company’s notice (a “Piggyback Registration”). Any Holder that has made such a written request may withdraw its Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration by giving written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter, if any, on or before the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the planned effective date of such Piggyback Registration. The Company may terminate or withdraw any registration under this Section 2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration, and except for the obligation to pay Registration Expenses pursuant to Section 2(c) the Company will have no liability to any Holder in connection with such termination or withdrawal.

(b) Underwritten Registration. If the registration referred to in Section 2(a) is proposed to be underwritten, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2(a). In such event, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 2 will be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting, and each such Holder must (together with the Company and the other Holders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement and other customary agreements in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the managing underwriter and the Required Holders.

(c) Piggyback Registration Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Piggyback Registration, whether or not any registration or prospectus becomes effective or final.

(d) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration relates to an underwritten primary offering on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of such offering, the Company shall include in such registration or prospectus only such number of securities that in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, which securities must be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the Holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities so requested to be included therein owned by each such Holder, and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no employee of the Company or any subsidiary thereof will be entitled to participate, directly or indirectly, in any such registration to the extent that the managing underwriter (or, in the case of an offering that is not underwritten, a nationally recognized investment banking firm) will determine in good faith that the participation of such employee in such registration would adversely affect the marketability or offering price of the securities being sold in such registration.

(e) Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration relates to an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of other holders of the Company’s securities, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company shall include in such registration only such number of securities that in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, which securities must be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the holders requesting such registration and the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such securities and Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of securities so requested to be included therein owned by each such holder, and (ii) second, other securities requested to be included in such registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no employee of the Company or any subsidiary thereof will be entitled to participate, directly or indirectly, in any such registration to the extent that the managing underwriter (or, in the case of an offering that is not underwritten, a nationally recognized investment banking firm) will determine in good faith that the participation of such employee in such registration would adversely affect the marketability or offering price of the securities being sold in such registration.

(f) Other Registrations. If the Company files a Registration Statement with respect to Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 1 or Section 2, and if such registration has not been withdrawn or abandoned, the Company may not file or cause to

be effected any other registration of any of its equity securities or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for its equity securities under the Securities Act (except on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor or similar forms with respect to debt, convertible debt or a Unit Offering), whether on its own behalf or at the request of any holder or holders of such securities, until a period of at least 180 days have elapsed from the effective date of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement.

3. Registration Procedures. Subject to Section 1(d), whenever the Holders of Registrable Securities have requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:

(a) prepare and (within 60 days after the end of the thirty-day period within which requests for registration may be given to the Company pursuant hereto) file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities, make all required filings with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and thereafter use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective, provided that before filing a Registration Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company shall furnish to one firm of counsel selected by the Holders in accordance with Section 4(b) copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to review of such counsel at the Company’s expense. Unless such counsel earlier informs the Company that it has no objections to the filing of such Registration Statement, amendment or supplement, the Company may not file such Registration Statement, amendment or supplement prior to the date that is three Business Days from the date that such counsel received such document. The Company may not file any Registration Statement or amendment or post-effective amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement to which such counsel reasonably objects in writing on the grounds that (and explaining why) such amendment or supplement does not comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or of the rules or regulations thereunder;

(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for a period ending on the soonest to occur of (i) the date that is six months after such Registration Statement becomes effective or, if such Registration Statement relates to an underwritten offering, such longer period as in the opinion of counsel for the underwriters a prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer, (ii) the date on which such Holder beneficially owns less than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company calculated on an As-Converted Basis, and (iii) the tenth anniversary of the date hereof;

(c) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities such number of copies, without charge, of such Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, including each preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, all exhibits and other documents filed therewith and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request including in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller;

(d) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any seller reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or reasonably advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller (provided that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subsection, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction);

(e) use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies, authorities or self-regulatory bodies as may be necessary or reasonably advisable in light of the business and operations of the Company to enable the seller or sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof set forth in the Registration Statement;

(f) promptly notify each seller of such Registrable Securities, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the discovery of the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, and, as promptly as practicable, prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made;

(g) notify each seller of any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (i) when the prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed and, with respect to such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to such registration statement or to amend or to supplement such prospectus or for additional information, and (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop

order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for any of such purposes;

(h) use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or market on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or, if no similar securities issued by the Company are then listed on any securities exchange or market, use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on a securities exchange or market selected by the board of directors of the Company;

(i) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of, or date of final receipt, for such Registration Statement;

The Company may require each Holder of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish the Company with such information regarding such Holder and pertinent to the disclosure requirements relating to the registration and the distribution of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.

4. Registration Expenses.

(a) All expenses incidental to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, word processing, duplicating and printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and all independent certified public accountants, underwriters and other Persons retained by the Company (all such expenses, “Registration Expenses”), will be borne as provided in this Agreement, except that the Company shall, in any event, pay its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit or quarterly review, the expenses of any liability insurance and the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange or market on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or on such securities exchange or market as the board of directors selects. All Selling Expenses will be borne by the holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the number of their shares so registered.

(b) In connection with each registration pursuant to Section 1 and each Piggyback Registration, the Company shall reimburse the holders of Registrable Securities covered by such registration or qualification for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one United States counsel, who will be chosen by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being so registered.

(c) To the extent Registration Expenses are not required to be paid by the Company, each holder of securities included in any registration or qualification hereunder will pay those Registration Expenses allocable to the registration or qualification of such holder’s securities so included, and any Registration Expenses not so allocable will be borne by all sellers of securities included in such registration in proportion to the aggregate selling price of the securities to be so registered or qualified.

5. Indemnification.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless, each Holder, its affiliates and their respective officers, directors and partners and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against, and pay and reimburse such holder, affiliate, director, officer or partner or controlling person for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, to which such holder or any such affiliate, director, officer or partner or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation by the Company of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act or any state

securities laws applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, and the Company will pay and reimburse such Holder and each such affiliate, director, officer, partner and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, made in such Registration Statement, any such prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein or by such Holder’s failure to deliver a copy of the Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished such Holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company, if requested, will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders.

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder is participating, each such Holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or prospectus and, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers and affiliates, each underwriter and each other Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and each such underwriter against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, to which such Holder or any such director or officer, any such underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or in any application or (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is made in such Registration Statement, any such prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information prepared and furnished to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, and such Holder will reimburse the Company and each such director, officer, affiliate, underwriter and controlling Person for any legal or any other expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding, provided that the obligation to indemnify and hold harmless will be individual and several to each holder and will be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless, in the opinion of outside counsel to the indemnified party, it would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional responsibility for one counsel to represent such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim.

(d) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the registration and sale of any securities by any Person entitled to any indemnification hereunder and the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relevant fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount any Holder will be obligated to contribute pursuant to this Section 5(e) will be limited to an amount equal to the proceeds to such Holder of the Restricted Securities sold pursuant to the registration statement which gives rise to such obligation to contribute (less the aggregate amount of any damages which the Holder has otherwise been required to pay in respect of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action or any substantially similar loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising from the sale of such Restricted Securities).

6. Participation in Underwritten Registrations.

(a) No Holder may participate in any registration hereunder that is underwritten unless such Holder (i) agrees to sell its Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (including, without limitation, pursuant to the terms of any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the managing underwriter(s), provided that no Holder will be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities that such Holder has requested the Company to include in any registration), (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, and (iii) cooperates with the Company’s reasonable requests in connection with such registration or qualification (it being understood that the Company’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder, which failure is caused by such Holder’s failure to cooperate, will not constitute a breach by the Company of this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder will be required to agree to any indemnification obligations on the part of such Holder that are greater than its obligations pursuant to Section 6(b).

(b) Each Holder that is participating in any registration hereunder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) above, such Holder will forthwith discontinue the disposition of its Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement until such Holder receives copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by such Section 3(f). In the event the Company gives any such notice, the applicable time period mentioned in Section 3(b) during which a Registration Statement is to remain effective will be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to this Section 6(b) to and including the date when each seller of a Registrable Security covered by such Registration Statement will have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(f).

7. Rule 144 and 144A Reporting.

(a) With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may permit the sale of the Restricted Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to:

(i) make and keep public information available as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times from and after ninety (90) days following the effective date of the first registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public, and

(ii) use reasonable best efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the

Securities Act and the Exchange Act at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements.

8. Lock Up Agreements. In consideration for the Company agreeing to its obligations under this Agreement, each Holder agrees in connection with any registration of the Company’s securities (whether or not such Holder is participating in such registration) upon the request of the Company and the underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the Company’s securities, not to effect (other than pursuant to such registration) any public sale or distribution of Registrable Securities, including, but not limited to, any sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A, or make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any Registrable Securities, any other equity securities of the Company or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity securities of the Company without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed 90 days) from the effective date of such registration as the Company and the underwriters may specify, so long as all Holders or stockholders holding more than two percent (2%) of the outstanding Common Shares and all officers and directors of the Company are bound by a comparable obligation, provided that nothing herein will prevent any Holder that is a partnership or corporation from making a distribution of Registrable Securities to the partners or shareholders thereof that is otherwise in compliance with applicable securities laws, so long as such distributees agree to be so bound.

9. Term. This Agreement will be effective as of the date hereof and will continue in effect thereafter until the earliest of (a) its termination by the consent of the parties or their respective successors in interest, (b) the date on which no Registrable Securities remain outstanding, (c) the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company and (d) with respect to any individual Holder, if such Holder beneficially owns less than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company calculated on an As-Converted Basis.

It is understood by the parties that the quantity of Services to be provided under this Section 2.1 shall be substantially consistent with recent historical practice.

2.3 Consent of Third Parties. The parties’ obligation to deliver any Service described in this Agreement is conditional upon such party’s obtaining the consent, where necessary, of any relevant third party provider, provided, however, that if such consent cannot be obtained, the parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable best efforts to arrange for alternative methods of delivering such Service. For the avoidance of doubt, the party responsible for delivering a particular Service will be responsible for obtaining any required licenses or consents necessary to deliver such Service. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall affect Man’s and its affiliates’ obligations to obtain consents pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Transaction Agreement.

2.4 Financial Reporting. With respect to NA Accounting Support Services provided by Westway to Man and ROW Accounting Support Services provided by Man to Westway, all Accounting Support Services and access to accounting information and systems shall be provided, on a time schedule and in a manner consistent with recent historical practice.

3.3 Misdirected Funds. Each party will remit to the other any misdirected funds such other party that it collects, without set-off for charges for Services.

4. WARRANTY, LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY

4.1 Standard of Service. The parties shall provide Services to one another in a manner consistent with the manner they have heretofore been provided. Neither party makes any other warranties, express or implied, with respect to the Services to be provided by such party hereunder.

4.2 Limitation of Liability. The maximum liability of the Service Provider to, and the sole remedy of, the Service Recipient for breach of this Agreement or otherwise with respect to Services is a refund of the price paid for the particular Service or, at the option of Service Recipient, a redelivery (or delivery) of the Service, unless the breach arises out of the gross negligence or willful failure of performance of the Service Provider. In no event shall either party be liable to the other for any consequential, punitive or special damages arising out of this Agreement, whether resulting from negligence or otherwise.

4.3 Indemnity.

(a) Man agrees to indemnify and hold Westway harmless from any damages, loss, cost or liability (including legal fees and expenses and the cost of enforcing this indemnity) arising out of or resulting from a third-party claim regarding Man’s performance, purported performance or nonperformance of this Agreement (whether arising out of Man’s negligence, intentional misconduct, or otherwise), provided, however, that Man will not indemnify Westway to the extent that such third-party claim directly arises out of or results from Westway’s performance, purported performance or nonperformance of this Agreement (whether arising out of Westway’s negligence, intentional misconduct, or otherwise).

(b) Westway agrees to indemnify and hold Man harmless from any damages, loss, cost or liability (including legal fees and expenses and the cost of enforcing this indemnity) arising out of or resulting from a third-party claim regarding Westway’s performance, purported performance or nonperformance of this Agreement (whether arising out of Westway’s negligence, intentional misconduct, or otherwise), provided, however, that Westway will not indemnify Man to the extent that such third-party claim

directly arises out of or results from Man’s performance, purported performance or nonperformance of this Agreement (whether arising out of Man’s negligence, intentional misconduct, or otherwise).

5. FORCE MAJEURE

Either party shall be temporarily excused from performance under this Agreement if any force majeure, including but not limited to disaster, fire, war, civil commotion, strike, labor shortage, slowdown, or the unavailability of labor, governmental regulation, energy shortage, or other occurrence beyond the reasonable control of such party should have happened and made it impossible for such party to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Under such circumstances, performance under this Agreement that relates to the delay shall be suspended for the duration of the delay, provided that the party so affected resumes the performance of its obligations with due diligence as soon as practicable after the effects of such event have been alleviated and provided that no such event shall relieve either party from any of its payment obligations hereunder. In case of any such suspension, the parties shall use their best efforts to overcome the cause and effect of such suspension, but in no event shall either party be required to settle any litigation, strike, lockout or other labor difficulty contrary to its best interests in its sole discretion. The provisions of this Section 5 will not excuse any failure to pay, or delay the time for payment of, any sum of money owing pursuant to this Agreement.

6. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND RIGHTS

The proprietary information of each party will be and remain the sole property of such party and its assigns.

2. Deliveries to Escrow Agent for Deposit; Other Actions.

(a) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Closing, Westway, in accordance with the instruction and on behalf of Founder, is issuing 60,000 shares of Westway Series A Preferred Stock and 40,000 shares of Westway Common Stock to and in the name of Founder and delivering such shares to the Escrow Agent for deposit in the Escrow Account (collectively, the “Newly Issued Shares”). Except for purposes of clause (c) of this Section 2 and clauses (a) and (c) of Section 5 below, the Newly Issued Shares shall constitute and be considered Original Escrow Shares.

(b) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Closing, Westway, in accordance with the instruction and on behalf of Founder, is delivering to the Escrow Agent for deposit in the Escrow Account warrants, in the name of Founder, issued by Westway, to purchase, in the aggregate, 1,000,000 shares of Westway Common Stock (the “Warrants”).

The Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Newly Issued Shares and all of the other Original Escrow Shares in the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Closing, in accordance with the instruction and on behalf of Holdings, Westway is delivering to the Escrow Agent for deposit in the Escrow Account

2 duly executed original certificates representing the Preferred Escrow Shares, which are registered in the names of the Persons and in the amounts set forth on Schedule I hereto.

(e) Westway shall, to the extent that it is permitted under its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to pay any dividends on any Escrow Shares, on or as soon as practicable after the payment date therefor, deliver to the Escrow Agent for deposit in the Escrow Account any cash dividends declared and payable on Founder’s Original Escrow Shares and the Preferred Escrow Shares (any such amounts, collectively, the “Escrow Funds”) after the date hereof during the term of this Agreement, together with a written statement setting forth the amounts of such Escrow Funds attributable to each Preferred Escrow Share and each of Founder’s Original Escrow Shares.

(g) Westway shall promptly deliver to the Escrow Agent for deposit in the Escrow Account duly executed original certificates representing any of Westway’s equity securities, including without limitation shares issued upon a stock split, stock dividend, subdivision, recapitalization, merger or other similar event (“New Shares”), issued or distributed by Westway in respect of the Escrow Shares, together with a written statement specifying the number of New Shares attributable to each Preferred Escrow Share and each Original Escrow Share.

(h) Nothing contained herein shall limit any right of any holder of Escrow Shares (or of any New Shares issued in respect thereof) to vote or direct the voting of such shares.

(j) If, prior to the date that is the six-month anniversary of the date hereof (the “Original Release Date”), Westway proposes to consummate a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the holders of Westway Common Stock having the right to exchange all or a portion of their shares of Westway Common Stock for cash, securities or other property, then the Escrow Agent shall, after receipt of a certificate, executed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of Westway, in form reasonably acceptable to the Escrow Agent, to the effect that such transaction will be consummated and specifying the date of consummation, release the Original Escrow Shares owned by the Initial Stockholders to such stockholders on (or, if necessary, prior to) such consummation date to enable them to participate in such transaction.

5. Legends. All certificates representing the Preferred Shares shall have inscribed upon them the following legend, which Westway shall cause to be removed promptly following the Proxy Term (as such term is defined in the Proxy Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between Founder and Westway Holdings Corporation):

The shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.0001 per share, of Westway Group, Inc.

9. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability

7 will not affect any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

10. No Strict Construction. Each of the Parties acknowledges that this Agreement has been prepared jointly by the Parties, and will not be strictly construed against either Party. As a consequence, the Parties do not intend that the presumptions of any Laws or rules relating to the interpretation of contracts against the drafter of any particular clause should be applied to this Agreement and therefore waive their effects.

11. Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to the other Party, that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement, and that either Party will have the right to injunctive relief, in addition to all of its other rights and remedies at law or in equity, to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.

12. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Parties waives any right it may have to trial by jury in respect of any litigation based on, arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or any course of conduct, course of dealing, verbal or written statement or action of any Party.

13. Amendment; Waivers, etc. No amendment, modification or discharge of this Agreement, and no waiver hereunder, will be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by the Party against which enforcement of the amendment, modification, discharge or waiver is sought. Any such waiver will constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and will in no way impair the rights of the Party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time. Neither the waiver by either of the Parties of a breach of or a default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure by either Party, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder, will be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and none is exclusive of any other, or of any rights or remedies that any Party may otherwise have at law or in equity.

2. MAN STORAGE REQUIRMENTS.

2.1 Strategic Planning - Storage Requirements. Man will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to keep Westway apprised of its then-current and projected bulk liquid storage needs. Upon identifying a need or projected need for bulk liquid storage capacity in any location throughout the world, Man will notify Westway of such need or projected need, the projected storage capacity required, term of such need, and storage-related services required. If Westway anticipates having storage capacity to meet Man’s storage requirements, the parties will work in good faith to negotiate and execute a TSA Schedule for the provision of such storage services by Westway to Man.

2.2 Development Opportunities.

(a) If none of the Westway Facilities have the required excess capacity, offer the required storage services, and/or are located in a geographic location reasonably necessary to meet the storage requirements of Man, Man and Westway will in good faith (a) explore whether Westway’s acquisition or development of additional Westway Facilities, storage capacity, or services would be of mutual benefit to both parties and, if so, (b) negotiate and execute a TSA Schedule for the provision of such storage services by Westway to Man following Westway’s development of such new Westway Facility.

(b) If following such good faith exploration and negotiation, Westway and Man do not enter into a TSA Schedule for the provision of such storage services, Man will be free to contract for such services from a third-party provider, subject to the provisions of Section 2.4 below, or to develop its own storage facilities in such geographic location.

(c) Man hereby grants a right of first refusal to Westway for any sale during the Term of storage facilities developed by Man or any tanks or equipment comprising a part of such a Man storage facility and having an aggregate value of at least $500,000.00 (collectively, “Man Storage Assets”) in one or more related transactions. Prior to Man’s acceptance of an Offer (defined below) or otherwise disposing of or agreeing to dispose of Man Storage Assets at any time during the Term of this Agreement, Man must first receive and desire to accept a bona-fide offer from a third party (an “Offer”) to acquire Man Storage Assets that are the subject of such Offer (the “Offered Property”) at a price and on terms as set forth in such Offer (the “Offered Terms”) and deliver to Westway written notice (the “ROFR Notice”) setting forth in reasonable

detail the Offered Property and the Offered Terms, enclosing a copy of any purchase agreement or other document pertaining to the proposed transaction, and offering to sell the Offered Property to Westway in accordance with the Offered Terms. Westway may accept Man’s offer included in the ROFR Notice by delivering to Man, within forty-five (45) days after delivery of the ROFR Notice, a notice accepting such offer and agreeing to acquire the Offered Property on the Offered Terms (the “Westway Acceptance”). The ROFR Notice and the Westway Acceptance shall constitute a binding contract between Man and Westway for the purchase and sale of the Offered Property upon the Offered Terms. The closing of such sale shall take place within sixty days from the Westway Acceptance and shall be scheduled by Westway on no less than five days prior notice to Man. If the Westway Acceptance is not delivered within the required time, then Man shall be at liberty to sell the Offered Property for a period of one hundred eighty days, upon terms no more advantageous to the proposed transferee than the Offered Terms. If Man fails to sell the Offered Property during the one hundred eighty day period set forth in the preceding sentence, or if Man during that period desires to sell the Offered Property upon terms more advantageous to the proposed transferee than the Offered Terms, then the Offered Property must be re-offered to Westway pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2(c). Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, Man shall be entitled to accept an Offer prior to its sending the ROFR Notice, provided that such acceptance or offer is subject to the suspensive condition of compliance with this right of first refusal.

2.3 Strategic Development Meetings. In addition to and not in limitation of the requirements of Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 3.1 hereof, representatives of Man and Westway will meet on an annual basis to conduct joint strategic planning, including discussions regarding Man’s storage needs and Westway’s available storage capacity, and exploration in good faith of the possibility of Westway’s acquisition or development of additional Westway Facilities or storage capacity to the mutual benefit of both parties.

2.4 Right of Last Refusal. Man hereby grants to Westway a right of last refusal with respect to all of Man’s third party bulk liquid storage requirements, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 2.4. Man will not accept any offer of, or otherwise contract for, bulk liquid terminaling services provided by any person other than Westway, or store any of its bulk liquids at any terminal owned or operated by any person other than Man or Westway, without first complying with the terms and conditions of this Section 2.4. If, and only if, Man has notified Westway of its particular need for bulk liquid storage services (whether or not so notified, the “Required Services”), but, for whatever reason, Man and Westway do not reach agreement on the provision by Westway of the Required Services to Man following a good faith effort of Man to do so, Man will be free to solicit offers from other providers of bulk liquid terminaling services for the provision of the Required Services. In the event that Man desires to utilize or contract for Required Services with a third party provider, Man must first obtain a bona fide, written offer for the provision of the Required Services that Man desires to accept (a “Third-Party Offer”). Prior to accepting any Third Party Offer, Man will first offer to procure the Required Services from Westway in writing (the “Last Notice”) on the following terms and conditions: (a) the base storage price (as such term is defined in the TSA) shall be economically equivalent to the price contained in the Third Party Offer for the same services, (b) the Required Services to be provided and the term over which the Required Services will be provided will be the same as those contained in the Third-Party Offer, (c) Westway will be entitled to use any Westway Facility located within fifty miles of the facility contained in the Third Party Offer for the provision of such Required Services, and (d) upon the other terms and conditions contained in the TSA (without regard to any other provisions of the Third Party Offer). Man’s Last Notice will also contain a copy of the Third-

Party Offer, including all relevant terms of the Third-Party Offer and the pricing and services to be provided thereunder. The offer to Westway contained in any Last Notice may be accepted by Westway within five business days of receipt of the Last Notice, and, if so accepted, Man and Westway will be legally bound to the terms of the Last Notice and will memorialize the terms of such agreement by executing a new TSA Schedule containing such terms. If the Last Notice is not accepted within the five Business Day time period, Man shall be free for a period of ninety days to accept the Third-Party Offer and execute a terminal service agreement containing the terms and conditions of the Third-Party Offer delivered to Westway with the Last Notice.

3. WESTWAY STORAGE OFFERINGS.

3.1 [...*.]

3.2 TSA Schedule Pricing - All Products. With respect to each and every TSA Schedule entered into by Westway and Man during the Term of this Agreement (except for TSA Schedules entered into pursuant to the terms of Section 2.4 above), Westway will offer Man a base storage price per barrel of storage capacity at the current market rates for the storage of any comparable product at such Westway Facility, provided, however, that the base storage price offered by Westway will not exceed the lowest Adjusted Base Storage Price offered to any third-party customer of Westway within the immediately preceding one year period for the storage of any comparable product at such Westway Facility, if any such offers were so made. Pricing for ancillary services for such TSA Schedules will also not exceed the pricing offered for the same services offered to any third-party customer of Westway at such Westway Facility within the immediately preceding one year period.

3.3 Most Favored Nation Pricing - All Products, Except Molasses. If, and for each instance, during the Term of this Agreement, that Westway enters into an Underpriced Agreement at any of the Westway Facilities, Westway will send a written notice to Man offering to amend the pricing provisions of any Subject TSA Schedule to match the pricing provisions contained in the Underpriced Agreement, effective as of the effective date of such Subject TSA Schedule. Man will have a period of ten days within which to analyze and accept or reject the new pricing terms so offered. If Man rejects Westway’s offer to amend the Subject TSA Schedule, or fails to respond to such offer within the ten day period set forth in the preceding sentence, the Subject TSA Schedule will not be amended in any way as a result of such Underpriced Agreement and will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. If Man timely accepts Westway’s offer to amend the Subject TSA Schedule, the Subject TSA Schedule will be amended to contain the pricing provisions of the Underpriced Agreement and Westway and Man will memorialize the terms of such amendment by executing an amended and restated TSA Schedule containing such terms.

3.4 Most Favored Nation Pricing - Molasses. If, and for each instance, during the Term of this Agreement, that Westway enters into an Underpriced Molasses Agreement at any of the Westway Facilities, Westway will send a written notice to Man offering to amend, effective as of the effective date of such Underpriced Molasses Agreement, the pricing provisions of any Subject Molasses TSA Schedule to match the pricing provisions contained in the Underpriced Molasses Agreement. Man will have a period of ten days within which to analyze and accept or reject the new pricing terms so offered. If Man rejects Westway’s offer to amend the Subject Molasses TSA Schedule, or fails to respond to such offer within the ten day period set forth in the preceding sentence, the Subject Molasses TSA Schedule will

not be amended in any way as a result of such Underpriced Molasses Agreement and will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. If Man timely accepts Westway’s offer to amend the Subject Molasses TSA Schedule, the Subject Molasses TSA Schedule will be amended to contain the pricing provisions of the Underpriced Molasses Agreement and Westway and Man will memorialize the terms of such amendment by executing an amended and restated TSA Schedule containing such terms.

3.5 Limitations on Most Favored Nations Pricing. Notwithstanding any provision of Sections 3.3 or 3.4 to the contrary, (a) Westway is not prohibited or restricted from entering into any terminal service agreement with any person upon any terms as Westway, in its sole discretion, determines to be in Westway’s interest, (b) the provisions of Sections 3.3 and 3.4 will not apply to, and will not act to require the amendment or offer of amendment of the pricing provisions of, any Subject Molasses TSA Schedules or Subject TSA Schedules that (i) pertain to newly constructed storage capacity built to meet the needs of Man and (ii) are within the initial term of such TSA Schedule at the time that the Underpriced Molasses Agreement or Underpriced Agreement is executed.

3.6 Early Termination. In the event that Man determines that it would be in its best interest to terminate any TSA Schedule prior to the expiration of the term of such TSA Schedule, Man will notify Westway of its intent and Westway will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to mitigate the damages caused by such early termination. Westway will attempt to mitigate such damages by using its commercially reasonable best efforts to enter into a terminal service agreement for the provision of terminal services using the storage capacity exited by Man. Man will remain liable to Westway for any direct damages caused to Westway by Man’s early termination that can not be mitigated through Westway’s commercially reasonable best efforts.

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

Section 2.1. Date, Time and Place of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided in these By-Laws, all meetings of stockholders shall be held at such dates, times and places, within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be designated by the Board of Directors in its notice of meeting or in the waivers of notice thereof. If the place of any meeting is not so designated, it shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware.

Section 2.2. Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held each year for the purpose of electing the members of the Board of Directors and conducting such other proper business as may come before the meeting. No person shall be nominated for election as a director at, and no business shall transacted at, an annual meeting of stockholders, unless the proposed nomination of such person, or the proposal of such business to be so transacted, is (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given in accordance with this Section 2.2 at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof), (b) otherwise properly brought before such meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof), or (c) otherwise properly brought before such meeting by any stockholder of the Corporation (i) who complies with the requirements set forth in the last sentence of this Section 2.2 and (ii) who is a stockholder of record on the date of its giving of the notice provided for in such last sentence and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such annual meeting. In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a person to be nominated by a stockholder for election as a director, or for any business to be proposed by a stockholder to be transacted, at an annual meeting of stockholders, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof, as specified in Sections 2.4 and 2.9(a) hereof, in proper written form, as specified in Sections 2.4 and 2.9(a) hereof, to the secretary of the Corporation and, in the case of any such proposal for the transaction of business, the business proposed must constitute a proper matter for stockholder action.

Section 2.3. Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called by a majority of the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President and shall be called by the President or the Secretary upon the written request

of ED&F Man Holdings Limited, its subsidiaries and affiliates other than the Corporation, and any persons with which any of such entities acts together as a group as a stockholder of the Corporation, which are collectively referred to herein as “ED&F,” so long as ED&F beneficially owns at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock (determined assuming conversion of all of the outstanding shares of the Corporation’s Series A Preferred Stock into shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation); provided that ED&F may only request that a special meeting of stockholders be called with respect to the election of directors that are elected by the holders of shares of Class B common stock of the Corporation (“Class B Common Stock”). Any such request shall state the proposed date, time and place of the meeting, and the President or Secretary of the Corporation shall fix a date and time for such meeting within sixty (60) days of the date requested for such meeting in such written request. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto). Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or supplement thereto) may be made (a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) or (b) by ED&F with respect to the election of directors to be elected by the holders of shares of Class B Common Stock if (i) ED&F complies with the requirements set forth in the last sentence of this Section 2.3 and (ii) is a stockholder of record on the date of its giving of the notice referred to in such last sentence and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such special meeting. In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a person to be nominated by ED&F for election as a director at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or supplement thereto) and in accordance with the preceding sentence, ED&F must have given timely notice thereof, as specified in Section 2.4, in proper written form, as specified in Section 2.4, to the Secretary of the Corporation.

Section 2.4. Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise required or permitted by law, whenever the stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, notice thereof shall be given in any manner permitted by law, stating the place, date and time of the meeting and, unless it is the annual meeting, by or at whose direction it is being issued. Notice of a special meeting shall also state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. A copy of the notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten (10) or more than sixty (60) days before the date of such meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or the President or Secretary of the Corporation to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, the notice shall be given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and shall be directed to each stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. Nothing herein contained shall preclude any stockholder from waiving notice as provided in Section 4.1. A single notice shall be effective as to all stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders sharing such address.

Section 2.5. Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Certificate of Incorporation”), the holders of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, represented in person or by proxy, shall be necessary to, and shall constitute a quorum for, the transaction of business at any meeting of stockholders; provided that, when any specified action is required to be voted upon by a class of stock voting as a class, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of such class entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall be necessary to, and shall constitute a quorum for, the transaction of such specified action. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted

which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the absence of a quorum necessary for action upon any given matter shall not prevent action at such meeting upon any other matter or matters which may properly come before the meeting and for which a quorum is constituted. If after any adjournment of a meeting of stockholders, the Board of Directors shall fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting, or if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of such adjourned meeting shall be given as provided in Section 2.4 of these By-Laws, but such notice may be waived as provided in Section 4.1 hereof.

Section 2.6. Voting. Unless otherwise provided by any applicable provision of law, by these By-Laws or by the Certificate of Incorporation, at each meeting of stockholders, each holder of record of shares of stock entitled to vote shall be entitled to vote in person or by proxy, and each such holder shall be entitled to one vote for every share standing in such holder’s name on the books of the Corporation as of the record date fixed by the Board of Directors or prescribed by law and, if a quorum is present, except as provided in Section 3.2 with respect to the vote required to elect directors, a majority of the voting power of the shares of such stock present or represented at any meeting of stockholders shall be the vote of the stockholders with respect to any item of business.

Section 2.7. Proxies. Every stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him, her or it by proxy. Each proxy shall be in writing executed by the stockholder giving the proxy or by his, her or its duly authorized attorney. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of three (3) years from its date, unless a longer period is provided for in the proxy. Unless and until voted, every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the person who executed it, or his, her or its legal representatives or assigns except in those cases where an irrevocable proxy permitted by statute has been given; provided, however, that the proxy given pursuant to the Proxy Agreement, dated as of , 2009, between Westway Holdings Corporation and Shermen WSC Holding LLC shall be irrevocable.

Section 2.8. Stock Records. The Secretary or agent having charge of the stock transfer books of the Corporation shall make, at least ten (10) days before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of and the number and class and series, if any, of shares held by each. Such list, for a period of ten (10) days prior to such meeting, shall be kept at the principal place of business of the Corporation or at the office of the transfer agent or registrar of the Corporation and such other places as required by statute and shall be subject to inspection by any stockholder at any time during usual business hours. Such list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any stockholder at any time during the meeting.

Section 2.9. Notice of Business.

(a) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting of stockholders by a stockholder pursuant to the preceding clause (c) of section 2.2, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice as referred to in Section 2.2 must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the ninetieth day nor earler than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth day prior to the date (the “Reference Date”) that is the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting with respect to which such notice is to be tendered is not held within thirty (30) days before or after such Reference Date, to be timely, notice by the stockholder must be received no later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which notice of the date of the meeting or public disclosure thereof was given or made. Public disclosure of an adjournment of an annual meeting shall not commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice referred to in Section 2.2. Notwithstanding

anything in this Section 2.9(a) to the contrary, if the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors at an annual meeting is increased and there is no public disclosure by the Corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least one hundred (100) days prior to the applicable Reference Date, then a stockholder’s notice as referred to in Section 2.2 shall be considered timely delivered, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it is received by the Secretary of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public disclosure is first made by the Corporation.

(b) Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the notice of meeting referred to in Section 2.3.

(c) To be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice referred to in Section 2.2 must also set forth (i) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection at the meeting of stockholders as a director, (x) all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or supplemented (the “Exchange Act”), including, without limitation, such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected, and (y) the citizenship, date of birth and place of birth of each such nominee; (ii) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend these By-Laws, the language of the proposed amendment), the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (iii) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (w) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books and records, and of such beneficial owner, (x) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner, (y) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such business or nomination and (z) a representation as to whether the stockholder or the beneficial owner, if any, intends or is part of a group which intends (1) to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the outstanding shares of the Corporation’s capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or elect the nominee and/or (2) otherwise to solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such proposal or nomination. The foregoing notice requirements shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder if the stockholder has notified the Corporation of his, her or its intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting of stockholders in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act and such stockholder’s proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation. A holder of shares of Class A common stock of the Corporation (“Class A Common Stock”) may only nominate and elect a director for whose election such stockholder would be able to vote as a holder of shares of Class A Common Stock, and a holder of shares of Class B Common Stock may only nominate and elect a director for whose election such stockholder would be able to vote as a holder of shares of Class B Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything in these By-Laws to the contrary, no person shall be eligible to be elected as a director of the Corporation at an annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting of stockholders unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.9.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in these By-Laws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at a stockholder meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.9. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these By-Laws, the chairperson of an annual or special meeting of stockholders shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before such meeting by a stockholder was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in these By-Laws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these By-Laws, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded. The chairperson of an annual or special meeting of stockholders shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that any nomination or business was not properly brought before the meeting and in accordance with the provisions of these By-Laws, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting, and any such nomination or business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be made or transacted. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.9, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.9. Nothing in these By-Laws shall be deemed to affect any rights (i) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals at an annual meeting of stockholders that comply with the notice requirements set forth in this Article II in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) of the holder of any series of preferred stock of the Corporation pursuant to any applicable provision of the Certificate of Incorporation.

(e) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article II, if neither the stockholder that proposed the nomination of a person for election as a director or the transaction of certain business at an annual meeting of stockholders, nor a qualified representative of the stockholder, appears at such meeting to present such nomination or transact such business in accordance with the stockholder’s notice given in accordance with Section 2.9(a) above, such proposed nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of the vote thereon may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 2.9(e), to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.

(f) Whenever used in these By-Laws, the term “public disclosure” shall mean disclosure (a) in a press release publicly released by the Corporation, provided such press release is released by the Corporation in accordance with its customary procedures, or is reported by the Dow Xxxxx News Service, Associated Press or a comparable national news service, or (b) in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article II, to the maximum extent permitted by law, for as long as ED&F beneficially owns at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation (determined assuming conversion of all of the outstanding shares of the Corporation’s Series A Preferred Stock into shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation), ED&F shall not be subject to the notice procedures set forth in this Article II to nominate any person for election to the Board of Directors for whose election only holders of shares of Class B Common Stock are entitled to vote or propose any business to be considered by the stockholders, at an annual meeting of stockholders.

(h) Nothing in this Section 2.9 shall be deemed to limit the obligation of any stockholder to comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth herein.

Section 2.10. Organization. The chairperson of the Board of Directors (the “Chairman”) shall act as chairman of meetings of stockholders. The Board of Directors may designate any other officer or director of the Corporation to act as chairman of any meeting in the absence of the Chairman, and the Board of Directors may further provide for determining who shall act as chairman of any meeting of stockholders in the absence of the Chairman and such designee. The Secretary of the Corporation shall act as secretary of all meetings of stockholders, but in the absence of the Secretary, the presiding officer may appoint any other person to act as secretary of any such meeting.

Section 2.11. Conduct of Meetings. The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of any meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures, and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (a) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (b) the determination of when the polls shall open and close for any given matter to be voted on at the meeting; (c) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (d) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (e) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (f) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants.

(a) Preceding any meeting of stockholders, to the extent required by applicable law, the Board of Directors, by resolution, the Chairman or the Chief Executive Officer shall appoint one or more persons to act as inspectors at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. In the event no inspector or alternate inspector is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, inspectors may be officers, employees or agents of the Corporation. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of the duties of inspector, shall take and sign an oath to faithfully execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability. In addition to the duties prescribed by applicable law, the inspectors shall (i) ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, (ii) determine the shares represented at a meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and (v) certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting, and their count of all votes and ballots. The inspector(s) may appoint or retain other persons or entities to assist the inspectors in the performance of the duties of inspector.

(b) In determining the shares represented and the validity and counting of proxies and ballots, each inspector shall be limited to an examination of the proxies, any envelopes submitted with those proxies, any information provided in accordance with Section 211(e) or Section 212(c)(2) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), any information provided pursuant to Section 211(a)(2)(B)(i) or (iii) of the DGCL, ballots, and the regular books and records of the Corporation, except that each inspector may consider other reliable information for the limited purpose of reconciling proxies and ballots submitted by or on behalf of banks, brokers or their nominees or a similar person which represent more votes than the holder of a proxy is authorized by the record owner to cast or more votes than the stockholder holds of record. If any inspector considers other reliable information for the limited purpose permitted by this paragraph, such inspector, at the time of the

making of his or her certification referred to in Section 2.12(a), shall specify the precise information considered, the person or persons from whom the information was obtained, when this information was obtained, the means by which the information was obtained, and the basis for such inspector’s belief that such information is accurate and reliable.

Section 2.13. Remote Communications. If authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board of Directors may adopt, stockholders and proxy holders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication: (a) participate in a meeting of stockholders; and (b) be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders, whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication; provided that (i) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder; (ii) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings; and (iii) if any stockholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the Corporation.

Section 2.14. Ratification. Any transaction questioned in any stockholders’ derivative suit, or any other suit to enforce alleged rights of the Corporation or any of its stockholders, on the ground of lack of authority, defective or irregular execution, adverse interest of any director, officer or stockholder, nondisclosure, miscomputation or the application of improper principles or practices of accounting may be approved, ratified and confirmed before or after judgment by the Board of Directors or by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the common stock of the Corporation and, if so approved, ratified or confirmed, shall have the same force and effect as if the questioned transaction had been originally duly authorized, and said approval, ratification or confirmation shall be binding upon the Corporation.

The shares of the Corporation shall be represented by a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Chief Executive Officer or any Vice President and by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary, and shall bear the seal of the Corporation or a facsimile thereof; provided that the Board of Directors may by resolution determine that some or all

of any shares of any class or series of the Corporation’s stock shall be uncertificated. If any such certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent, or registered by a registrar, other than the Corporation itself or its employees, the signature of any such officer may be a facsimile signature. In case any officer who shall have signed or whose facsimile signature was placed on any such certificate shall have ceased to be an officer before such certificate shall be issued, it may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such officer at the date of issue. Each certificate representing shares shall state upon its face (a) that the Corporation is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, (b) the name of the person or persons to whom it is issued, (c) the number of shares which such certificate represents and (d) the par value, if any, of each share represented by such certificate.

Section 6.2. Registered Stockholders. Prior to due surrender of a certificate for registration or transfer, the Corporation shall be entitled to treat the registered owner as the person exclusively entitled to receive dividends or other distributions, to vote as such owner, to receive notice and otherwise to exercise all of the rights and powers of the owner of the shares represented by such certificate, and the Corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or legal claim to or interest in such shares on the part of any other person, whether or not the Corporation shall have notice of such claim or interests, provided that if a transfer of shares is made for collateral security, and not absolutely, this fact shall be so expressed in the entry of the transfer if, when the certificates are presented to the Corporation for transfer, both the transferor and transferee request the Corporation to do so.

Section 6.3. Transfer of Stock. Upon surrender to the Corporation or the appropriate transfer agent, if any, of the Corporation, of a certificate representing shares of stock duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, and, in the event that the certificate refers to any agreement restricting transfer of the shares which it represents, proper evidence of compliance with such agreement, a new certificate shall be issued to the person entitled thereto, and the old certificate cancelled and the transaction recorded upon the books of the Corporation.

Section 6.4. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. The Corporation may issue a new certificate for shares in place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, mutilated, stolen or destroyed, and the Board of Directors may require the owner of such lost, mutilated, stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owner’s legal representatives, to make an affidavit of the fact and/or to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, mutilation, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of any such new certificate.

Section 6.5. Record Date. For the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of stockholders, or to express written consent to any corporate action without a meeting, or for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date. Such date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of any such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice, of, or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Section 6.6. Regulations. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Board of Directors may make such additional rules and regulations, not inconsistent with these By-Laws, as it may deem expedient, concerning the issue, transfer and registration of certificates for the securities of the Corporation.
