description attached to Schedule 2.4 (the “Refinery Real Property”). Buyer agrees to grant
Pride Company and its representatives reasonable access to the Real Property and the Facilities

remove such Excluded Assets from the Purchased Property during normal business hours. Pride Company
agrees that it will consult with Buyer in advance of taking any such actions following the Closing
Date with a view towards establishing a mutually agreeable plan for such review and removal so that
these actions will not unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of Buyer.
2.5 One-Call. Sellers will promptly, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the
Closing Date, contact every appropriate one-call agency in the vicinity of any of the Purchased
Property and have the contact information for one-calls changed from Sellers’ name(s) to Buyer’s

Buyer agrees to use its Reasonable Efforts to cooperate with Sellers in connection with Sellers’
efforts pursuant to this Section 2.5 with respect to one-call matters. Sellers shall send

(i) by mutual written consent of Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand;
(ii) by any Party in the event the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 applicable to

terminating to the other.
(c) Return of Property. In the event of termination of this Agreement, Buyer shall promptly
return all records, maps, files, papers, and other property of Sellers then in the possession of
Buyer or its representatives.
(d) Sellers’ Remedies. In the event this Agreement is terminated by Sellers due to Buyer
breaching its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement such that the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.1(a) to Sellers’ obligations to consummate the
transactions contemplated herein shall not have been satisfied then, Sellers shall immediately be
entitled to receive and collect the Deposit Escrow (together will any accrued interest thereon, if
any) from the Escrow Agent, as further set forth in the Deposit Escrow Agreement as liquidated
damages in full satisfaction of all Damages related or arising from such breach by Buyer (excluding
Sellers’ right to recover attorneys’ fees and other expenses as provided pursuant to the Escrow
Agreement incurred in enforcing Sellers’ rights pursuant to the Escrow Agreement). The Parties
agree that the Deposit Escrow (together will any accrued interest thereon, if any) shall be a
reasonable estimate of Sellers’ Damages in the event of any such termination and receipt of such
Deposit Escrow shall be Sellers’ sole and exclusive remedy for any such Damages. Nothing contained
herein shall limit the liability of Buyer for any breach of any covenant in this Agreement which is
unrelated to Buyer’s obligation to close.
(e) Buyer’s Remedies. In addition to any other right or remedy to which Buyer may be
entitled, at law or in equity, Buyer shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this
Purchase and Sale Agreement
Page 15 of 47
Page 15 of 47
Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent
injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this
Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking.
5.6 Entities to Receive Assets. Buyer will inform Sellers at least three (3) days prior to
the anticipated Closing Date of the names of any Affiliate(s) of Buyer to whom the various portions
of the Purchased Property are to be conveyed as of the Closing Date. In such event, the respective
Affiliate shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement to the extent relating
to such Purchased Property so conveyed, and shall enjoy the same rights as Buyer in relation to
such portion of the Purchased Properties that are conveyed to such Affiliate for so long as it
remains an Affiliate of Buyer.
5.7 Magellan Deposit. At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Magellan a security deposit in
accordance with the Magellan Contract. It shall be an additional condition precedent to Sellers’
obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that Magellan shall have
returned or credited to Sellers all deposits held by Magellan under the Magellan Contract as of the
Closing Date.
5.8 Consents. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement
shall not constitute an agreement to transfer, sell or otherwise assign any Contract which would
otherwise be an Assigned Contract or any Right-of-Way but which is not permitted to be assigned in
connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Unassigned
Contract/ROWs”). In such event, the beneficial interest in and to each Unassigned Contract/ROW
shall pass to Buyer at the Closing, and Sellers covenant and agree to cooperate with Buyer in any
lawful and economically reasonable arrangement to provide Buyer with Sellers’ entire interest in
the benefits under each of the Unassigned Contract/ROWs. Sellers shall exercise or exploit their
respective rights and options under all Unassigned Contract/ROWs to the extent as reasonably
directed by Buyer; provided, that Buyer shall be responsible for any liability incurred by any
Seller pursuant to such direction. Buyer shall accept and be responsible for the burdens and
perform the obligations under such Unassigned Contract/ROWs as subcontractor of Sellers, to the
extent that such burdens and obligations would have constituted an Assumed Liability if such
Unassigned Contract/ROW had been transferred to Buyer at the Closing. Sellers shall use Reasonable
Efforts after the Closing to obtain all necessary consents to transfer and assign all Unassigned
Contract/ROWs. Unassigned Contract/ROWs shall not be deemed to be Assigned Contracts unless and
until Sellers obtain such consents to transfer. In the event the other party(ies) to an Unassigned
Contract/ROW subsequently consent to the assignment of such Unassigned Contract/ROW to Buyer, Buyer
shall thereupon agree to assume and perform all liabilities and the obligations arising thereunder
after the date of such consent, at which time such Unassigned Contract/ROW shall be deemed a
Purchased Property, without the payment of further consideration, and the obligations so assumed
thereunder shall be deemed Assumed Liabilities. Sellers shall indemnify, defend and hold the Buyer
Indemnities harmless from all Damages to the extent arising from or related to any Unassigned
Contract/ROW to the extent Buyer is prevented from receiving Sellers’ entire beneficial interest in
and to the Unassigned Contract/ROW; provided such Obligation to indemnify, defend and hold the
Buyer Indemnities harmless shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price less the amount
paid by Sellers, if any, pursuant to Section 14.1(a).

the same to Buyer.

Closing Date, agree to allocate the Purchase Price (plus other capitalized costs and any allocation
for any agreements described in line 6 of IRS Form 8594, to the extent required under the Code)
among the Purchased Property (including the assets held by Pride Products) as set forth in
Schedule 6.2, which will represent a reasonable determination in good faith of the fair
market value of the Purchased Property (including the assets held by Pride Products). Sellers and
Buyer agree (i) to report the federal, state and local income and other Tax consequences of the
transactions contemplated herein, and in particular to report the information required by Section
1060(b) of the Code on IRS Form 8594 in a manner consistent with such allocation and (ii) not to

in any litigation, investigation or otherwise, unless required by applicable Laws or with the
consent of the other Party.
6.3 Lease and Rental Payments. Lease and rental expenses payable pursuant to the terms of any
Assigned Contracts that are lease or rental agreements shall be pro-rated between Buyer, on the one
hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, based upon the number of days during the applicable lease or

or rental agreement. The Purchase Price shall be increased by an amount equal to any such lease or
rental payments paid by Sellers attributable to the period from and after the Effective Time. The
Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to any such lease or rental payments payable by
Buyer attributable to the period prior to the Effective Time. In the event the amount of any such
lease or rental payment cannot be ascertained on the Closing Date, the pro-ration made on the
Closing Date shall be made on the basis of the preceding lease or rental period, and to the extent
that such pro-ration may be inaccurate, Sellers and Buyer agree and covenant to make such payment
to the other Party promptly upon receipt of the lease or rental statements for each such agreement
as is necessary to properly allocate such lease or rental payments on a pro-rated basis between
Sellers and Buyer as of the Effective Time.

extent such amounts are estimated on the Closing Date and such prorations are inaccurate, Sellers
and Buyer agree to make such payment to the other after such amounts are correctly computed as is
necessary to allocate such charges properly between Sellers and Buyer as of the Closing Date. If
Buyer receives invoices for utilities for any period of time prior to the Effective Time, Buyer
will promptly forward the invoices to Sellers for payment. Likewise, if Sellers receive invoices
for utilities for any period of time on or after the Effective Time, Sellers will promptly forward
the invoices to Buyer for payment. If new utility connections or meters are required for Buyer’s

conduct of any audit or other Proceeding related to Taxes involving the Purchased Property, the

carry out the intent of this ARTICLE VIII.
8.2 Property Taxes. All real estate, ad valorem and personal property Taxes shall be
pro-rated between Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, as of the Closing Date
regardless of when such general property Taxes are actually billed and payable. Such proration
shall be based upon the number of days during the applicable tax period each Party owned the
Purchased Property subject to such tax. At the Closing, Sellers’ portion of such general property
Taxes attributable to the period prior to the Effective Time shall be deducted from the Purchase
Price to be paid to Sellers to the extent such general property Taxes are payable after the
Closing. At the Closing, Buyer’s portion of such general property Taxes attributable to the period
after the Effective Time shall be added to the Purchase Price to be paid to Sellers to the extent
such general property Taxes are paid by Sellers on or before the Closing. Buyer shall actually pay
to the taxing authority all general property Taxes for the year of the Closing which are payable
after the Closing. In the event the amount of any such general property Taxes cannot be ascertained
as of the Closing Date, the pro-ration made as of the Closing Date shall be made on the basis of
the preceding year Taxes, and to the extent that such pro-ration may be inaccurate, Sellers and
Buyer agree to make such payment to the other after the tax statements have been received as is
necessary to allocate such general property Taxes properly between Sellers and Buyer as of the
Closing Date.
8.3 Income Taxes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Sellers shall
be responsible for all income and capital gains Taxes, franchise Taxes and all other Taxes based on
overall gross or net income of Sellers resulting from the sale of the Purchased Property, including
any deemed sale of the assets held by Pride Products. All income and franchise Taxes attributable
to Pride Products for Pre-Closing Tax Periods shall remain the responsibility of Sellers, and all
deductions, credits and refunds pertaining to said Taxes, no matter when received, shall belong to
Sellers. All income and franchise Taxes attributable to Pride Products for Post-Closing Tax Periods
shall be the responsibility of Buyer.
8.4 Transfer Taxes. Buyer shall pay and be responsible for any applicable transfer Taxes
incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Purchased Property, including any federal,
state or local sales, use, or excise Taxes, documentary transfer Taxes, realty transfer Taxes and
charges or fees with respect to the transfer of real property or to the recordation of documents
(excluding release of Lien documents) necessary for the transfer of real property that may be
required for the transfer of the Purchased Property from Sellers to Buyer, whether levied on
Sellers or Buyer. Buyer shall be responsible for, and will file all necessary Tax Returns and other
documentation with respect to all such Taxes and remit, upon the request of Sellers, copies of the
portions of such returns relevant to this Agreement and any necessary documentation to Sellers.
8.5 Confidential Tax Information. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
neither Party shall be required at any time to disclose to the other Party, or to any other Person,
absent legal constraint, any Tax Return or other confidential Tax information.
8.6 Deferred Like-Kind Exchange Cooperation. If so requested by a Party, the other Party
shall, at no cost or obligation to such other Party, cooperate in structuring and completing all or
a portion of this transaction so as to effect a disposition of “relinquished property” in
connection with a multiple party deferred like-kind exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code.
In particular, Buyer hereby consents to the assignment of an interest in the Purchased Property to
a “qualified intermediary” prior to
Purchase and Sale Agreement
Page 18 of 47
Page 18 of 47
the Closing hereunder and the assignment by Sellers to such “qualified intermediary” of
Sellers’ right to receive the Purchase Price hereunder. The terms “qualified intermediary,” and
“relinquished property” as used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Treasury
Regulations Section 1.1031(k)-1. The requesting Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
other Party from any costs, expenses and Claims relating to its cooperation arising out of a
like-kind exchange of the requesting Party, which indemnity shall survive the Closing. Nothing in
this Section 8.6 is intended to relieve any Party from its obligations hereunder.
8.7 Other Taxes. Except as provided pursuant to Sections 8.2, 8.3 and
8.4, Sellers shall be liable for all Taxes with respect to the Business, Pride Products and
the Purchased Property for Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Buyer shall be liable for all Taxes with
respect to the Business, Pride Products and the Purchased Property for Post-Closing Tax Periods;
provided, however, Sellers shall be liable for all Taxes with respect to the Retained Inventory.

CLAIMS PROCEDURE
CLAIMS PROCEDURE
All Claims for indemnification by a Party under ARTICLE XIV, ARTICLE XV or as
otherwise provided in this Agreement or any Related Agreements (the Party claiming indemnification
and the Party against whom such claims are asserted being herein called the “Indemnified Party” and
the “Indemnifying Party,” respectively) shall be asserted and resolved as follows:
16.1 Claim Notice. In the event that any Claim for which an Indemnifying Party would be
liable to an Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from such
Indemnified Party by a Third Person, such Indemnified Party shall, within thirty (30) calendar days
of the receipt thereof, give notice (the “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party of such Claim
specifying the nature of and specific basis for such Claim and the estimated amount thereof, to the
extent then feasible, which estimate shall not be binding upon the Indemnified Party in its effort
to collect the final amount of such Claim. The failure to give any such notice shall not affect the
rights of the Indemnified Party to indemnification hereunder unless the Indemnified Party has
proceeded to contest, defend or settle the Claim with respect to which it has failed to give prior
notice to the Indemnifying Party. Additionally, to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced
thereby, the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party of any such Claim shall relieve the
Indemnifying Party from liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party under the
indemnification provisions, as applicable, but only to the extent of the loss directly attributable
to such failure to notify and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it
may have to the Indemnified Party otherwise.
16.2 Defense of Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall be given the opportunity, at its cost and
expense, to contest and defend, by all appropriate legal Proceedings, any Claim with respect to
which it is called upon to indemnify the Indemnified Party under the provisions of this Agreement;
provided, however, that notice of the intention to so contest and defend shall be delivered by the
Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of
the Claim Notice. If the Indemnifying Party does not give notice to the Indemnified Party of its
election to contest and defend any such Claim within such period then the Indemnifying Party shall
be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the Indemnified Party and shall be
responsible for all costs incurred in connection therewith. The Claim which the Indemnifying Party
elects to contest and defend may be conducted in the name and on behalf of the Indemnifying Party
or the Indemnified Party as may be appropriate. Such Claim shall be conducted by counsel employed
by the Indemnifying Party who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such Claim and to be represented by
counsel of its own choosing at its own cost and expense. If the Indemnified Party joins in any such
Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have full authority to determine all action to be taken with
respect thereto; provided that if the Indemnifying Party reserves its rights with respect to its
indemnification obligations under this Agreement as to such Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall
have full authority to determine all action to be taken with respect thereto. At any time after the
commencement of defense of any Claim, the Indemnifying Party may request the Indemnified Party to
agree in writing to the abandonment of such contest or to the payment or compromise by the
Indemnifying Party of the asserted Claim provided the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing to be
solely liable for all Losses relating to such Claim, whereupon such action shall be taken unless
the Indemnified Party determines that the contest should be continued and notifies the Indemnifying
Party in writing within fifteen (15) calendar days of such request from the Indemnifying Party. In
the event that the Indemnified Party determines that the contest should be continued, the amount
for which the Indemnifying Party would otherwise be liable hereunder shall not exceed the amount
which the Indemnifying Party had agreed to pay in payment or consideration of such Claim, provided
the other Party to the contested Claim had agreed in writing to accept such amount in payment or
compromise of the Claim as of the time the Indemnifying Party made request therefor to the
Indemnified Party, and
Purchase and Sale Agreement
Page 38 of 47
Page 38 of 47
further provided that under such proposed compromise, the Indemnified Party would be fully and
completely released from any further liability or obligation with respect to the matters which are
the subject of such contested Claim.
16.3 Cooperation. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees, at
the Indemnifying Party’s expense, to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in
contesting any Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest, or, if appropriate and related
to the Claim in question, in making any counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third Person
Claim, or any cross-complaint against any Person other than an Affiliate of the Indemnified Party.
16.4 Third Party Claim. If any Indemnified Party should have a Claim against the Indemnifying
Party hereunder that does not involve a Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from
it by a Third Person, the Indemnified Party shall send a Claim Notice with respect to such Claim to
the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party disputes such Claim, such dispute shall be
resolved in the manner set forth in Section 20.14.
16.5 Presence at Conferences. The Indemnified Party agrees to afford the Indemnifying Party
and its counsel the opportunity, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, to be present at, and to
participate in, conferences with all Persons asserting any Claim against the Indemnified Party and
conferences with representatives of, or counsel for, such Persons.
16.6 Subrogation. In the event that an Indemnified Party has a right of recovery against any
third party with respect to any Losses in connection with which a payment is made to such
Indemnified Party by an Indemnifying Party; then (i) such Indemnifying Party shall, to the extent
of such payment, be subrogated to all of the rights of recovery of such Indemnified Party against
such third party with respect to such Losses; and (ii) such Indemnified Party shall execute all
papers reasonably required and take all commercially reasonable action necessary to secure such
rights, including the execution of such documents as are necessary to enable such Indemnifying
Party to bring suit to enforce such rights.
16.7 Exclusive Remedy. AS BETWEEN THE BUYER INDEMNITEES AND THE SELLER INDEMNITEES AFTER THE
CLOSING, THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS, COVENANTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET
FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RELATED AGREEMENTS WILL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS,
OBLIGATIONS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE EVENTS GIVING RISE TO
THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (BUT EXCLUDING CLAIMS RELATING TO FRAUD OR
INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION IN THE NEGOTIATION OR EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT). IF THE CLOSING
OCCURS, NEITHER PARTY NOR ANY OF ITS RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS SHALL HAVE ANY RIGHTS AGAINST
THE OTHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES AFTER THE CLOSING DATE OTHER THAN AS IS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RELATED AGREEMENTS. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 16.6 OR IN THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL LIMIT OR SHIFT SELLERS’ RETAINED OBLIGATIONS FOR ANY LIABILITIES AND OBLIGATIONS
RELATING TO THE EXCLUDED ASSETS OR TO THE EXCLUDED LIABILITIES.
