WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders, and the Agent are parties to a Fourth Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement dated as of May 11, 2007 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, the Borrower wishes to amend the Credit Agreement in certain respects and the Lenders
party hereto and the Agent are willing to amend the Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions
set forth herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, the terms and conditions
contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which

1. Amendments to Credit Agreement. Effective as of the date first above written, and
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to effectiveness set forth in Section 2
below, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a) The definition of “Alternate Base Rate” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement

doubt, the Eurodollar Rate for any day shall be based on the rate
appearing on
the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page 1 (or on any successor or
substitute page) at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on such
day. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the
Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Eurodollar Rate
shall be effective from and including the effective date of such
change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the
Eurodollar Rate, respectively.
(b) The definition of “Applicable Fee Rate” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement
is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:
“Applicable Fee Rate” means, with respect to the Commitment Fee at
any time, 0.375% per annum.
(c) Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to insert alphabetically therein the
following new defined term:
“Defaulting Lender” means any Lender, as determined by the Agent,
that has (a) failed to fund any portion of its Loans or
participations in Facility LCs, Non-Ratable Loans or Collateral
Protection Advances within three Business Days of the date required
to be funded by it hereunder, (b) notified the Borrower, the Agent,
the LC Issuer, the Non-Ratable Lender or any Lender in writing that
it does not intend to comply with any of its funding obligations
under this Agreement or has made a public statement to the effect
that it does not intend to comply with its funding obligations under
this Agreement or under other agreements in which it commits to
extend credit, (c) failed, within three Business Days after request
by the Agent, to confirm that it will comply with the terms of this
Agreement relating to its obligations to fund prospective Loans and
participations in then outstanding Facility LCs, Collateral
Protection Advances and Non-Ratable Loans, (d) otherwise failed to

become or is insolvent or has a parent company that has become or is
insolvent or (ii) become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian
appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or
indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such
proceeding or appointment or has a parent company that has become
the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a
receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has
taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to,
approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment;
provided, that the mere ownership by a governmental
authority of a Lender’s or its parent
2
company’s equity interests shall not result in a Lender becoming a
Defaulting Lender under this clause (ii).
(d) Article II of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to insert immediately at the end
thereof the following Section 2.21:
Section 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so
long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a) if any Facility LCs (including Reimbursement Obligations in
respect thereof), Collateral Protection Advances or Non-Ratable
Loans are outstanding at the time a Lender is a Defaulting Lender,
the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the
Agent (i) prepay the Non-Ratable Loans or Collateral Protection
Advances, as applicable, or, if agreed by the Non-Ratable Lender or
the Agent, as applicable, cash collateralize the outstanding
principal amount of the Non-Ratable Loans or Collateral Protection
Advances (or ratable participations therein), as applicable, of the
Defaulting Lender on terms satisfactory to the Non-Ratable Lender or
the Agent, as applicable, and (ii) cash collateralize such
Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Sections 2.19.11 and 8.1 for so long as such
Facility LCs (including Reimbursement Obligations in respect
thereof) remain outstanding (with the understanding that such cash
collateralization and Liens granted in respect thereof shall be
deemed permitted under this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.15.1);
and
(b) the Non-Ratable Lender shall not be required to fund any
Non-Ratable Loan, the Agent shall not be required to fund any
Collateral Protection Advance, and the LC Issuer shall not be
required to issue, amend, extend, renew or increase any Facility LC
unless it is satisfied that cash collateral will be provided by the
Borrower in accordance with Section 2.21(a).
(e) Section 6.14.6 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:
6.14.6 Indebtedness not described in or otherwise subject to
Sections 6.14.1 through 6.14.5 that is unsecured and that does not
at any time exceed an aggregate amount equal to $600,000,000.
(f) Section 6.14.7 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:
3
6.14.7 Indebtedness in an aggregate amount not to exceed
$600,000,000 at any time arising under or in connection with Letters
of Credit (other than Facility LCs) issued for the account of the
Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof; provided, that such
Letters of Credit shall either be used in connection with the
Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s acquisition of Petroleum Inventory
outside of the United States of America or for general corporate
purposes in the ordinary course of business.
(g) Section 9.8 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:
9.8 Accounting. Except as provided to the contrary herein,
all accounting terms used in the calculation of any financial
covenant or test shall be interpreted and all accounting
determinations hereunder in the calculation of any financial
covenant or test shall be made in accordance with Agreement
Accounting Principles. If any changes in US GAAP are hereafter
required or permitted and are adopted by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries with the agreement of its independent certified public
accountants and such changes result in a change in the method of
calculation of any of the financial covenants, tests, restrictions
or standards herein or in the related definitions or terms used
therein (“Accounting Changes”), the parties hereto agree, at
the Borrower’s request, to enter into negotiations, in good faith,
in order to amend such provisions in a credit neutral manner so as
to reflect equitably such changes with the desired result that the
criteria for evaluating the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’
financial condition shall be the same after such changes as if such
changes had not been made; provided, however, until
such provisions are amended in a manner reasonably satisfactory to
the Agent and the Required Lenders, no Accounting Change shall be
given effect in such calculations. In the event such amendment is
entered into, all references in this Agreement to Agreement
Accounting Principles shall mean US GAAP as of the date of such
amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the
contrary set forth herein, (x) all financial statements to be
delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.1 shall be prepared
in accordance with US GAAP in effect at such time and (y) all terms
of an accounting or financial nature used herein or in any other
Loan Document shall be construed, and all computations of amounts
and ratios referred to herein or in any other Loan Document shall be
made, without giving effect to any election under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards 159 (or any other Financial
Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any
Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower or any Subsidiary
at “fair value”, as defined therein.
4
(h) The Pricing Schedule to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety pursuant to
the Pricing Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Guarantors’ respective obligations under the Guaranty and the Collateral Documents in form and

true and correct as of the date hereof except (x) with respect to Sections 5.5 and 5.7 of the
Credit Agreement, the representations and warranties set forth in such Sections shall have been
true and correct on and as of the date of the most recent Form 10-K or Form 10-Q filing, as
applicable, made by the Borrower with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and (y) with
respect to any other representation and warranty set forth in Article V of the Credit Agreement, to

representation or warranty shall have been true and correct on and as of such earlier date and (ii)
no event shall have occurred and then be continuing which constitutes a Default or an Unmatured
Default.
(c) The modifications contemplated by this Amendment are permitted under the terms of

5

documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith shall

5. Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable costs, fees and

the Agent and the Lenders in connection with the preparation, arrangement, execution and
enforcement of this Amendment.

with the internal laws, as opposed to the conflicts of law provisions, of the State of New York;
provided, however, that if a court, tribunal or other judicial entity with jurisdiction over the
Credit Agreement, this Amendment and the transactions evidenced by the Loan Documents were to
disregard such choice of law, this Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the internal laws, as opposed to the conflicts of law provisions, of the State of Illinois.
7. Headings. Section headings in this Amendment are included herein for convenience
of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Amendment for any other purpose.
8. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties to the
Amendment on any number of separate counterparts and all of said counterparts taken together shall
be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a

hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by
virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Amendment.
The remainder of this page is intentionally blank.

For the purposes of this Schedule, the following terms have the following meanings, subject to
the final paragraph of this Schedule:
“Level I Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter of
the Borrower, average daily Excess Availability for such fiscal quarter was greater than 45% of the
average monthly Borrowing Base for such fiscal quarter.
“Level II Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter
of the Borrower, (i) the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status and (ii) average daily
Excess Availability for such fiscal quarter was less than or equal to 45% of the average monthly
Borrowing Base for such fiscal quarter but greater than 30% of the average monthly Borrowing Base
for such fiscal quarter.
“Level III Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter,
(i) the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status or Level II Status and (ii) average daily
Excess Availability for such fiscal quarter was less than or equal to 30% of the average monthly
Borrowing Base for such fiscal quarter but greater than 15% of the average monthly Borrowing Base
for such fiscal quarter.
“Level IV Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter,
(i) the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status, Level II Status, or Level III Status and
(ii) average daily Excess Availability for such fiscal quarter was less than or equal to 15% of the
average monthly Borrowing Base for such fiscal quarter.
“Status” means either Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status or Level IV Status.
The Applicable Margin shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing tables based on the
Borrower’s Status for the applicable fiscal quarter. Such Status shall be determined based upon the
Interim Collateral Reports and Monthly Collateral Reports delivered for such fiscal quarter.
Adjustments, if any, to the Applicable Margin shall be effective five Business Days after the Agent
has received all of the applicable Interim Collateral Reports and Monthly Collateral Reports. If
the Borrower fails to deliver such Interim Collateral Reports and Monthly Collateral Reports to the
Agent at the time required pursuant to Section 6.1, then the Applicable Margin shall be the highest
Applicable Margin set forth in the foregoing tables until the date on which such Interim Collateral
Reports and Monthly Collateral Reports are so delivered. In the event that any financial statement
or certificate required by Section 6.1.1, 6.1.2, 6.1.3 or 6.1.4 is shown to be inaccurate
(regardless of whether this Agreement or the financing commitments are in effect), and such
inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any
period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable
Period: (x) the Borrower shall immediately deliver to the Agent a correct certificate for such
Applicable Period, (y) the Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period shall be determined by
reference to such certificate, and (z) the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Agent the accrued
additional interest owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable
Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Agent in accordance with the terms hereof.
This provision shall not limit any other rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders
hereunder.
