ARTICLE 2

CONVERSION OF SHARES; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.1 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Merger Sub or the holders of any securities of the Company or Merger Sub:

(a) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (such shares, collectively, the “Common Stock,” and each, a “Share”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, but excluding Cancelled Shares and Dissenting Shares, shall be converted automatically into the right to receive $48.53 per Share in cash (the “Merger Consideration”), without interest. All Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in this Section 2.1(a) shall be automatically cancelled upon the conversion thereof and shall cease to exist, and the holders of certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest.

(b) Cancellation of Shares. Each Share that is owned by the Company as treasury stock or otherwise, or by Parent or Merger Sub, or by any Subsidiary of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Cancelled Shares”) shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing the common stock of Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(d) Dissenters’ Rights. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if required by the DGCL (but only to the extent required thereby), Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Cancelled Shares) and that are held by holders of such Shares who have not voted in favor of the adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who have properly exercised appraisal

-3-

rights with respect thereto in accordance with, and who have complied with, Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to any such Shares held by any such holder (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and holders of such Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to receive payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of such Section 262 unless and until any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses its rights to appraisal and payment under the DGCL. If, after the Effective Time, any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses such rights, such Dissenting Shares will thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into, at the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, and the Surviving Corporation shall remain liable for payment of the Merger Consideration for such Shares. At the Effective Time, any holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights provided in Section 262 of the DGCL and as provided in the previous sentence. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisals of Shares and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such notices and demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or settle any such demands.

(e) Adjustments. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company shall occur, including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period (but excluding the effect of any exercise of Company Options that are outstanding as of the date of this Agreement), the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be equitably adjusted, without duplication, to proportionally reflect such change.

Section 2.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a U.S. bank or trust company that shall be appointed by Parent (and reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to act as a paying agent hereunder (the “Paying Agent”), in trust for the benefit of holders of the Shares, cash in U.S. dollars sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration in exchange for all of the Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Cancelled Shares), payable upon due surrender of the certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Shares (“Certificates”) (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) pursuant to the provisions of this Article 2 (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) Payment Procedures.

(i) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time and in any event not later than the second Business Day following the Closing Date, Parent shall instruct the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Shares whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1, (A) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to

-4-

Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as is customary, and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration.

(ii) Upon surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may customarily be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive from the Exchange Fund in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the number of Shares represented by such holder’s properly surrendered Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares and (y) the Merger Consideration (less any applicable withholding Taxes). No interest shall be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment upon due surrender of the Certificate may be paid to such a transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such Shares is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

(iii) The Paying Agent, the Company, Parent, Merger Sub and their respective agents, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable under this Agreement such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder, or under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

(c) Closing of Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for transfer or any other reason, the holder of any such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be given a copy of the letter of transmittal referred to in Section 2.2(b) and instructed to comply with the instructions in that letter of transmittal in order to receive the cash to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Article 2.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains undistributed to the former holders of Shares on the six month anniversary of the Effective Time shall thereafter be delivered to the Surviving Corporation upon demand, and any former holders of Shares who have not surrendered their Shares in accordance with this Article 2 shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of their claim for the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon due surrender of their Shares.

-5-

(e) No Liability. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(f) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest all cash included in the Exchange Fund as reasonably directed by Parent; provided, however, that any investment of such cash shall be limited to direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government, or any U.S. registered open end investment company holding itself out as a U.S. government money market fund. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation pursuant to Section 2.2(d).

(g) Lost Certificates. In the case of any Certificate that has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Paying Agent or Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate a check in the amount of the number of Shares represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate multiplied by the Merger Consideration (less any applicable withholding Taxes), without any interest thereon.

Section 2.3 Treatment of Company Equity Awards.

(a) Each option to purchase Shares that was granted pursuant to any Company Benefit Plan (each, a “Company Option”), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, become fully vested and be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Share of such Company Option and (ii) the total number of Shares subject to such Company Option. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to pay to the holders of Company Options the cash amounts described in the immediately preceding sentence, less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment, within five calendar days following the Effective Time. If the applicable exercise price per Share equals or exceeds the Merger Consideration, such Company Option shall be cancelled without payment of additional consideration, and all rights with respect to such Company Option shall terminate as of the Effective Time.

(b) Each award of restricted stock units granted pursuant to any Company Benefit Plan (each, an “RSU”), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall as of the Effective Time, become fully vested (in the case of Company RSUs that are Market Share Unit Awards (“MSUs”), in respect of a number of Shares determined pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreement with respect to performance

-6-

determination in connection with a “change in control”) and be cancelled and of no further force or effect as of the Effective Time and automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the total number of Shares subject to such RSU and (ii) the Merger Consideration. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to pay to the holders of RSUs the cash amounts described in the immediately preceding sentence, less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment, within five calendar days following the Effective Time (or such later date as is required by Section 409A of the Code).

(c) Each Share granted subject to any vesting or other lapse restrictions pursuant to any Company Benefit Plan (each, a “Restricted Share”), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, at the Effective Time, become fully vested (without regard to the satisfaction of any performance condition, vesting or other lapse condition) and be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to pay to the holders of Restricted Shares the cash amounts described in the immediately preceding sentence, less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment, within five calendar days following the Effective Time.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company, through its Board of Directors or an appropriate committee thereof, will adopt such resolutions as may reasonably be required to effectuate the actions contemplated by this Section 2.3.

Section 2.4 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Company shall take all necessary action to ensure that no new offering periods under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) will commence during the period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time. The accumulated contributions of the participants in the current offering period shall be used to purchase Shares as of no later than ten Business Days prior to the Effective Time, and the participants’ purchase rights under such offerings shall terminate immediately after such purchase. As of no later than the Business Day immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall terminate the ESPP.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.5, from the date hereof until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 7, the Company agrees that it shall not and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective Affiliates and Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (A) solicit, initiate, knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage the submission of any Alternative Proposal, (B) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding an Alternative Proposal with, or furnish any nonpublic information regarding an Alternative Proposal to, any Person that has made or, to the Knowledge of the Company, is seeking to make, an Alternative Proposal, except to notify such Person as to the existence of the provisions of this Section 5.5, (C) enter into any letter of intent, agreement, contract or agreement in principle regarding an Alternative Proposal (except for confidentiality agreements permitted under Section 5.5(e), an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”) or (D) publicly propose to do any of the foregoing (other than disclosure of the terms of this Agreement).

(b) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 5.5, neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall (i) change, qualify, withhold, withdraw or modify, or publicly propose to change, qualify, withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent, the Recommendation, (ii) subject to Section 5.5(f) (and excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any “stop, look and listen” statement of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act), take any formal action or make any public statement in connection with a tender offer or

-32-

exchange offer other than a recommendation against such offer or a reaffirmation of the Recommendation, (iii) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend to the stockholders of the Company, an Alternative Proposal, or (iv) fail to include the Recommendation in the Proxy Statement (any action described in clauses (i)-(iv) being referred to as a “Change of Recommendation”).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, a material development or material change in circumstances (other than relating to or in connection with an Alternative Proposal) occurs or arises after the date of this Agreement that was not known and not reasonably foreseeable (or if known, the consequences of which were not known or reasonably foreseeable) by the Board of Directors as of the date of this Agreement (any such development or change being a “Material Development”), the Board of Directors may make a Change of Recommendation under clauses (i) or (iv) of Section 5.5(b) if the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the Board of Directors’ fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law; provided, that the Company (A) has given Parent at least four Business Days’ prior written notice advising Parent that it intends to take such action and specifying in reasonable detail the reasons for such action, (B) has given Parent during such four-Business Day period the opportunity to meet or negotiate with the Board of Directors and its outside legal counsel to enable Parent and the Company to discuss or negotiate in good faith a modification of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (C) at the end of such four-Business Day period, after taking into account any amendments to this Agreement committed to in writing by Parent, the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure of the Board of Directors to make such Change of Recommendation would continue to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law.

(d) The Company shall promptly (within 24 hours) notify Parent in the event that the Company, its Subsidiaries or Representatives receives, after the date hereof, any request for discussions or negotiations with respect to an Alternative Proposal or proposal that is reasonably likely to lead to an Alternative Proposal, any request for access to the properties or books and records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives is or has become aware, or any request for nonpublic information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, by any third party that is considering making, or has made, an Alternative Proposal. Such notice to Parent shall indicate the identity of the Person making such proposal or request and the material terms and conditions of such proposal, if any, communicated by such Person to the Company.

(e) Anything in this Section 5.5 to the contrary notwithstanding, at any time prior to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval:

(i) if the Company receives an unsolicited, written Alternative Proposal without any material violation of this Section 5.5 that the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, is or is reasonably likely to result in, a Superior Proposal, the Company may take the following actions: (A) furnish nonpublic information to the third party making such

-33-

Alternative Proposal, if, prior to so furnishing such information, the Company receives from the third party an executed confidentiality agreement having provisions as to confidential treatment of information that are substantially similar to the confidentiality provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement (an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”); provided, that any material nonpublic information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries that is provided or made available by the Company to a third party given such access that was not previously provided or made available to Parent or its Representatives shall be provided to Parent substantially concurrently, if such information is written, or otherwise promptly thereafter (and in any event within 24 hours); and (B) engage in discussions or negotiations with the third party with respect to the Alternative Proposal; provided, that the Company shall provide to Parent a copy of any written Alternative Proposal made after the date hereof to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by such third party and the identity of such third party; and

(ii) the Board of Directors may make a Change of Recommendation or terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, but only if prior to taking any such action:

(1) the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Alternative Proposal is a Superior Proposal (taking into account any adjustment or revisions committed to in writing by Parent in response to such Alternative Proposal (including pursuant to clause (3) below));

(2) the Company (A) at least four Business Days in advance of taking such action (the “Notice Period”), has given Parent prior written notice of its intention to terminate this Agreement and has provided to Parent a copy of such Superior Proposal and (B) has given Parent during the Notice Period the opportunity to meet or negotiate with the Board of Directors and its outside legal counsel to enable Parent and the Company to discuss or negotiate in good faith a modification of the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

(3) at the end of the Notice Period, the Board of Directors, after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel, shall have determined in good faith that the third party’s Alternative Proposal remains a Superior Proposal (taking into account any amendments to this Agreement committed to in writing by Parent); provided, that each time material modifications to the material terms of an Alternative Proposal determined to be a Superior Proposal are made, a new written notification from the Company consistent with that described in clause (ii)(2) of this Section 5.5(e) shall be required and a new Notice Period under clause (ii)(2) of this Section 5.5(e) shall commence, during which notice period the Company shall be required to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.5(e)(ii) anew, except that such new Notice Period shall be for two Business Days (as opposed to four Business Days).

-34-

(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or its Board of Directors from (i) disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act, or from issuing a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position thereunder; or (ii) making any disclosure to its stockholders if the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Board of Directors to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law.

(g) “Alternative Proposal” means any bona fide inquiry, proposal or offer made by any Person for (i) a merger, reorganization, share exchange, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or similar transaction involving the Company, (ii) the direct or indirect acquisition by any Person of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis or (iii) the direct or indirect acquisition by any Person of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the voting power of the outstanding Shares of Common Stock, including any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person beneficially owning Shares with fifteen percent (15%) or more of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, in each case of clauses (i)-(iii), other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(h) “Superior Proposal” means an unsolicited, written Alternative Proposal, without any violation of this Section 5.5, substituting “fifty percent (50%)” for “fifteen percent (15%),” on its most recently amended or modified terms, that the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel and taking into account all financial, legal, regulatory and other aspects of the Alternative Proposal, (i) would be, if consummated, more favorable to the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view than this Agreement and the Merger (after taking into account any modifications or changes committed to in writing by Parent pursuant to clause (e)(ii) above) and (ii) is reasonably likely to be consummated if accepted (including, without limitation, that any necessary financing is reasonably likely to be obtained on a timely basis).

Section 5.6 Proxy; Company Meeting.

If at any time prior to the Company Meeting any information relating to the Company, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors is discovered by the Company or Parent which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so that the Proxy Statement (or any other filings) shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party, and, to the extent required by applicable Law, an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the stockholders of the Company.

(b) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall (i) take all action necessary in accordance with the DGCL and its certificate of incorporation and bylaws to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable following the mailing of the Proxy Statement for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval (the “Company Meeting”), with the record date and meeting date of the Company Meeting to be selected after reasonable consultation with Parent, and (ii) subject to a Change of Recommendation in accordance with Section 5.5, use all reasonable efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Each of the Company and Parent shall keep the other reasonably informed of, and cooperate with such party in connection with, any stockholder litigation or claim against such party and/or its directors or officers relating to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 5.9 Employee Matters.

(a) From the Effective Time until April 29, 2018, Parent shall provide, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to provide, to each Company employee who continues to be employed by the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time (each, a “Company Employee”) (i) base compensation that is no less favorable than was provided to the Company Employee immediately before the Effective Time and (ii) equity-based incentive opportunities that are no less favorable than those provided to employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries who are similarly situated to (including with respect to work location) the applicable Company Employee. In addition, Parent shall provide, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to provide, to each Company Employee (A) from the Effective Time until April 30, 2017, an annual bonus opportunity with bonus targets and related performance metrics that are no less favorable than those provided to the Company Employee immediately before the Effective Time, and (B) from May 1, 2017 until April 29, 2018, an annual bonus opportunity with bonus targets and related performance metrics that are no less favorable than those applicable to employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries who are similarly situated to (including with respect to work location) the applicable Company Employee. Further, Parent shall provide, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to provide, to each Company Employee (1) from the Effective Time until April 30, 2017, all other compensation and benefits that, in the aggregate, are no less favorable than those provided to the Company Employee immediately before the Effective Time, and (2) from May 1, 2017 until April 29, 2018, all other compensation and benefits (other than equity-based incentive benefits) that, in the aggregate, are no less favorable than those provided to employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries who are similarly situated to (including with respect to work location) the applicable Company Employee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary and subject to Section 5.9 of the Company Disclosure Letter, from the Effective Time until April 29, 2018, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide to each Company Employee who is eligible under the CST Brands, Inc. Severance Plan effective as of February 25, 2016 (a copy of which is set forth in Section 5.9 of the Company Disclosure Letter, the “Severance Plan”) as of the Effective Time, severance benefits equal to the greater of (I) the severance benefits to which such Company Employee is then entitled under the Severance Plan as described in Section 5.9 of the Company Disclosure Letter, taking into account all service whether before or after the Effective Time, and (II) the severance benefits provided to employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries who are similarly situated to (including with respect to work location) the applicable Company Employee under the severance arrangements of Parent and its Subsidiaries, in each case without duplication of benefits under any other Contract or arrangement applicable to such Company Employee and without taking into account any reduction after the Effective Time in base compensation paid to such Company Employee.

-37-

(b) For all purposes (including purposes of vesting (other than equity awards), eligibility to participate and level of benefits) under the employee benefit plans of Parent and its Subsidiaries providing benefits to any Company Employees after the Effective Time (the “New Plans”), each Company Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Company Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Company Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the foregoing shall not apply (i) with respect to participation in or benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension or retiree medical plan or (ii) to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits.

(c) In addition, (i) each Company Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is comparable to a Company Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), and further provided that the foregoing provision shall not preclude the Parent from confirming the eligibility of any such employee or his or her covered dependents after the Effective Time, and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Company Employee, Parent shall cause (A) all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such conditions would not have been waived under the comparable plans of the Company or its Subsidiaries in which such employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (B) the amount of eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his or her covered dependents which were credited to deductible and maximum out-of-pocket co-insurance requirements under the Old Plans to be credited for purposes of satisfying the deductible, and maximum out-of-pocket co-insurance requirements under the New Plans.

(d) Parent hereby acknowledges that a “change of control” (or similar phrase) within the meaning of the Company Benefit Plans will occur at or prior to the Effective Time, as applicable.

(e) Without limiting the generality of Section 8.10, the provisions of this Section 5.9 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no current or former director, officer, employee, other service provider or independent contractor or any other person shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, and nothing herein shall be construed as an amendment to any Company Benefit Plan or other compensation or benefit plan or arrangement for any purpose or to confer upon any Company Employee any right to continued employment. Nothing in this Section 5.9 shall supersede or conflict with any Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Section 5.10 Efforts.

(a) Each of the parties shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to promptly do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable and in any event prior to the End Date, including (i) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents, clearances, approvals, and expirations or terminations of waiting periods, from Governmental Entities and the making of all necessary registrations and filings in connection therewith, (ii) using its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties, and (iii) subject to Section 5.7(b), the defending of any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company, Parent or Merger Sub or their respective Subsidiaries be required to pay any fee, penalty or other consideration to any third party for any consent or approval required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any contract or agreement.

(b) Parent and the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than 20 Business Days after the date hereof, file (or cause to be filed) any and all required pre-merger notification and report forms under the HSR Act and the Competition Act with respect to the Merger. Parent and the Company shall request early termination of any applicable waiting periods under such Antitrust Laws and shall respectively use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the expiration or termination of such waiting periods, and shall supply to the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (“Antitrust Division”) or the United States Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) or to the Canadian Competition Bureau (the “Competition Bureau”) as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information or documents that may be requested pursuant to any Law or by any of them.

(c) In furtherance of the covenants of the parties contained in this Section 5.10, but subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.10(d), (i) if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding, including any proceeding by a private party, is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging the Merger as violative of any Antitrust Law, each of the parties hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction, or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that results from such action or proceeding and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Merger on or before the End Date and (ii) Parent shall take all such further action as may be necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Antitrust Law so as to enable the Closing to occur as promptly as practicable (and in any event no later than the End Date), and including, in the case of Parent, proposing, negotiating, committing and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, to (i) sell, divest, dispose of or otherwise hold separate (including by establishing a trust or otherwise), any of the businesses, assets or properties of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates and (ii) otherwise take or commit to take actions that after the Closing would limit Parent’s freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to operate and/or retain any of the businesses, assets or properties of

-39-

Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates (the actions described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being “Divestiture Actions”); provided that neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to become subject to, or consent or agree to or otherwise take any action with respect to, any requirement, condition, understanding, agreement or order to sell, divest, license, hold separate or otherwise dispose of, or to conduct, restrict, operate, invest or otherwise change the assets, operations or business of the Company or any of its Affiliates, unless such requirement, condition, understanding, agreement or order is binding on or otherwise applicable to the Company only from and after the Effective Time in the event that the Closing occurs.

(d) Parent shall have the right (subject to compliance with Section 5.10(e) and its other obligations under this Section 5.10) to determine, direct and have control over the strategy and process by which the parties will seek required approvals under the Antitrust Laws and to control the defense or prosecution of any claims, actions or proceedings relating thereto, including all matters relating to any Divestiture Actions.

(e) Parent and the Company shall cooperate and consult with each other in connection with the making of all filings, notifications, communications, submissions, and any other actions pursuant to this Section 5.10, and, subject to applicable legal limitations and the instructions of any Governmental Entity, Parent and the Company shall keep each other apprised on a current basis of the status of matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated thereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other communications received by Parent and the Company, as the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity with respect to such transactions. Subject to applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, Parent and the Company shall permit counsel for the other party reasonable opportunity to review in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other party in connection with, any material proposed notifications or filings and any material written communications or submissions to any Governmental Entity; provided, however, that materials may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of the businesses of Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries, or proposals from third parties with respect thereto, (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual agreements, and (iii) as necessary to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns. Parent and the Company agree not to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone, with any Governmental Entity in connection with the proposed transactions unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Entity, gives the other party a reasonable opportunity to attend and participate.

Section 5.11 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) The Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, assume the obligations with respect to all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities, including advancement of expenses, for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time now existing in favor of the current or former directors or officers of the Company or its Subsidiaries as provided in their respective certificates of incorporation, bylaws or any indemnification contract between such directors or officers and the Company (in each case, as in effect on the date hereof), without further action, as of the Effective Time and all such obligations shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

-40-

(b) For a period of six years after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of the Company’s and any Company Subsidiary’s certificates of incorporation and bylaws or similar organizational documents as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time or in any indemnification agreements of the Company or its Subsidiaries with any of their respective directors or officers as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individuals who at the Effective Time were current or former directors or officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any action pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such action or resolution of such claim, even if beyond such six-year period. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall assume, guarantee and stand surety for, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 5.11.

(c) For a period of six years after the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, indemnify and hold harmless (and advance funds in respect of each of the foregoing) each current and former director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and each Person who served at the request of the Company as a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise (each, together with such Person’s heirs, executors or administrators, an “Indemnified Party”) against any costs or expenses (including advancing reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by Law), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “Losses”) in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (an “Action”), arising out of, relating to or in connection with any act or omission occurring or alleged to have occurred, whether before or after the Effective Time, in connection with such Indemnified Party’s service as a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including acts or omissions in connection with such Indemnified Party’s service as an officer, director, member, trustee or other fiduciary of any other enterprise if such service was at the request of the Company); provided, that (i) any Person to whom any funds are advanced pursuant to the foregoing must provide an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification, (ii) all rights to indemnification in respect of any Action pending or asserted within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Action and (iii) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement effected without Parent’s or the Surviving Corporation’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the event of any such Action, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in the defense thereof.

-41-

(d) Parent shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time to purchase a six-year prepaid “tail” policy, with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ existing policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance, with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement and the transactions or actions contemplated by this Agreement), and Parent shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation, and no other party shall have any further obligation to purchase or pay for insurance hereunder. If Parent for any reason fails to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Effective Time, Parent shall, for a period of six years after the Effective Time, cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time; provided, however, that after the Effective Time, Parent shall not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof in respect of the coverage required to be obtained pursuant hereto, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for such amount.

(e) The rights of each Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Indemnified Party may have under the certificates of incorporation or bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation, any other indemnification arrangement, the DGCL or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 5.11 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and expressly are intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall promptly reimburse each Indemnified Party for any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by any such Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnification or other obligations of Parent or the Surviving Corporation in this Section 5.11 (including Section 5.11(c)) unless it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to the benefit of such indemnification or other obligation.

(f) In the event that Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.11.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.11, except the first sentence of Section 5.11(b) and Section 5.11(f) (solely as such Section 5.11(f) relates to the first sentence of Section 5.11(b)), shall be applicable to CrossAmerica GP LLC, CAPL or any of the CAPL Subsidiaries.

The parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, that, without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement and that any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 7.3 do not constitute a penalty.
