If following the Closing either Seller or Buyer receives (i) any assessment of any Property Taxes that are in whole or in part the responsibility of the other pursuant to this Section 4.1(c), Buyer shall pay the same to the appropriate Taxing

23

Authority and Seller will remit prior to the due date of assessment to Buyer the amount of the Pre-Closing Charge with respect thereto except to the extent reflected as a debit to Seller on the Settlement Statement, or (ii) any refund or credit of any Property Taxes that are in whole or in part the responsibility of the other pursuant to this Section 4.1(c), such party shall promptly remit to the other the portion of such amount for which the other is responsible except to the extent the other has received a credit for the same on the Settlement Statement.

(d) The provisions of this Section 4.1 shall survive the Closing.

4.2 Employee Matters.

(a) Treatment of Employees.  No later than ten (10) Business Days prior to, and effective as of immediately prior to and contingent upon, the Closing Date, Buyer shall offer to each Employee who is then employed by Seller employment commencing as of the Closing Date  as an “at will” employee similarly situated with compensation and benefits comparable to those provided to such Employee by Seller and its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing and on terms and conditions consistent with this Section 4.2(a), provided, however, that any such offers of employment to any Employees shall be made contingent on the Employee’s ability to pass the standard background check, drug screening, verification of eligibility to work in the United States, and any other reasonable pre-employment screening that the Buyer or designated third-party operations generally conduct for newly hired employees. With respect to any Employee on authorized leave of absence, sick leave, short or long term disability leave or layoff with recall rights as of the Closing Date (each, an “Inactive Employee”), Buyer’s offer of employment shall also be contingent on such Inactive Employee’s return to active employment immediately following such absence and within six (6) months of the Closing Date, or such later date as required under applicable Laws.  At least five (5) days prior to the date on which Buyer provides each Employee with such offer of employment, Buyer shall provide to Seller, for Seller’s review and comment (which comments Buyer shall consider in good faith) each template offer of employment to be used by Buyer in making such offers.  Each Employee who accepts Buyer’s offer of employment pursuant to this Section 4.2(a), and each Employee who accepts an offer of employment from Buyer in accordance with Section 4.2(e), shall be referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee.” Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Buyer to effectuate Buyer’s offers of employment to the Employees, including with regards to any transfer of any visa or other documentation.  With respect to each Transferred Employee, Buyer shall maintain, for a period of at least twelve (12) months immediately following the Closing Date, (i) a wage rate or cash salary level that is no lower than that in effect for such employee immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) cash incentive compensation and employee benefits that are, in each case, no less favorable, in the aggregate, than those provided by Buyer and its Affiliates to its similarly situated employees. The foregoing notwithstanding, Buyer shall not be prohibited by this Section 4.2(a) from terminating the employment of any Transferred Employee following the Closing Date, subject, however, to Buyer’s obligations under this Section 4.2.  As of and after the Closing, Buyer shall provide to each Transferred Employee full credit for all purposes under any employee benefit plan offered by Buyer and each other employee benefit plan, policy or

24

arrangement (excluding any stock option plans), in each case maintained for the benefit of Transferred Employees as of and after the Closing by Buyer or any of its Affiliates, for such Transferred Employee’s service prior to the Closing with Seller or any of its Affiliates, to the same extent such service is recognized by Seller and its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing; provided, however, that Buyer and its Affiliates shall not be required to recognize such service (x) for purposes of benefit accrual under defined benefit pension plans, (y) for purposes of plans that are frozen to new participants, or (z) to the extent that such credit would result in duplication of benefits. Buyer and Seller agree to utilize, or cause their respective Affiliates to utilize, the standard procedure set forth in Revenue Procedure 2004-53, 2004-2 C.B. 320, for wage reporting with respect to any Transferred Employees.

(b) Health Coverages.  Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive any limitation on health insurance coverage of Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents due to pre-existing conditions under all applicable medical plans of Buyer or its Affiliates to the extent that such condition did not apply, was satisfied or waived under the comparable Seller Benefit Plan prior to the Closing and (ii) credit all Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents with all payments credited against out-of-pocket maximums and deductible payments and co-payments paid by such person, in each case, under the comparable Seller Benefit Plan prior to the Closing during the plan year in which the Closing occurs for the purpose of determining the extent to which any such person has satisfied his or her deductible and whether he or she has reached the out-of-pocket maximum under any health insurance plans of Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer for such year.

(c) WARN and Corresponding State Laws.  Following the Closing Date, Buyer shall retain a sufficient number of Employees hired by it hereunder for a sufficient period of time so as not to impose any liability or notice requirements on Seller or any of its Affiliates under the WARN Act. Buyer shall be solely responsible for and agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and, at the option of Seller, to defend Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Affiliates from and against any Liability under WARN or any similar state Law, to any Employee who is found to have suffered an “employment loss” under WARN on or after the Closing Date as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the actions of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, and against any and all other related Liabilities, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, arising out of or resulting from the actions of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or their failure to serve sufficient notice pursuant to WARN or any similar state Law.

(d) Vacation and Other Paid Time Off.  Following the Closing, Seller shall timely pay, or cause to be paid, to each Transferred Employee, an amount equal to the value of such Transferred Employee’s accrued and unused paid time off as of immediately prior to the Closing.

(e) Disability Benefits.  Seller shall be responsible for continuing any salary continuation benefits for any Employee on short-term leave immediately prior to the Closing Date, in accordance with the applicable Seller policy.

25

(f) 401(k) Plan.  Effective at or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, Buyer shall permit participation by the Transferred Employees in Buyer’s tax-qualified defined contribution plan or plans with a cash or deferred feature (the “Buyer 401(k) Plan”) for the benefit of each Transferred Employee who, as of immediately prior to the Closing, was eligible to participate in a tax-qualified defined contribution plan maintained by Seller (collectively, the “Seller 401(k) Plans”) to the extent permitted under the Buyer 401(k) Plan.  As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, Seller 401(k) Plans shall, to the extent permitted by Section 401(k)(10) of the Code, make distributions available to Transferred Employees, and Buyer 401(k) Plan shall accept any such distribution (including loans) as a rollover distribution if so directed by the Transferred Employee to the extent such a rollover is permissible under the Buyer 401(k) Plan.  The parties agree to cooperate so as not to place any loan with respect to a Transferred Employee’s rollover account into default during the period from the Closing Date until the rollover is completed; provided that such employee continues making loan repayments on a timely basis during such period in accordance with the established procedures of Seller and its Affiliates, as applicable.

(g) Employees on Visa.  On or before October 1, 2018, Seller shall provide to Buyer a true, correct and complete list in all material respects of all Employees who, as of the date hereof, are working in the United States pursuant to a visa.

(h) Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Section 4.2, express or implied, shall confer upon any Employee, or legal representative or beneficiary thereof or other Person, any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever under this Agreement or a right of any employee or beneficiary of such employee or other Person under an employee benefit plan that such employee or beneficiary or other Person would not otherwise have under the terms of that employee benefit plan without regard to this Agreement.

4.3 Use of Seller Marks. From and after the Closing, Buyer shall ensure that the Business ceases to appear to have, and Buyer shall not hold itself out as having, any affiliation with Seller or any of its Affiliates, except as expressly permitted by this Section 4.3.  Buyer shall, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than six (6) months following the Closing Date, cease to make (or to permit any Person to make) any use of the names and marks of Seller and its Affiliates (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Business IP being transferred hereunder), including “TravelCenters of America”, “Petro Stopping Centers” or “TA-Petro,” the trademarks listed on Schedule 1.2(p) hereof, and any name, logo or xxxx related thereto or containing, comprising or derived from any of the foregoing, including any names or marks similar thereto or dilutive thereof (the “Seller Marks”), including by removing, striking over, or otherwise obliterating all Seller Marks from all assets and other materials related to the Business, including any vehicles, business cards, schedules, stationery, packaging materials, displays, signs, promotional materials, manuals, forms, websites, email, computer software and other materials and systems.  Any use of Seller Marks prior to the expiration of such six (6) month period shall be in a form and manner, and with standards of quality equivalent in all material respects to that in effect for the Seller Marks as of the Closing Date, and all goodwill arising therefrom shall inure to the sole benefit of Seller.  Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the remedy

26

at Law for any breach of the requirements of this Section 4.3, whether or not material, may be inadequate, and agrees that, without intending to limit any additional rights or remedies that may be available under applicable Law or otherwise, Seller or its Affiliates shall be entitled to seek temporary or permanent injunction, without proof of actual damage, with respect to any Claim which may be brought to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 4.3.

4.4 Insurance and Casualty. Seller shall keep the Assets insured, at Seller’s expense, with such policy types and coverage amounts as Seller maintains in the Ordinary Course of Business until the Closing or termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms. Upon any damage to or destruction of the Properties or any portion thereof before the Closing, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of such fact.  Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and receive the return of the Deposit as a result of any such damage or destruction to the extent such constitutes a Material Adverse Effect.  In the event Buyer makes no election to terminate, Seller shall (a) assign to Buyer at the Closing all of Seller’s rights to the insurance proceeds, if any, under Seller’s insurance policies covering the affected Properties, (b) pay to Buyer any recoveries from third parties pursuant to indemnification (or otherwise) with respect thereto, net of any expenses incurred by the Seller in obtaining such third party payment, and (c) pay to Buyer the amount of any deductible under Seller’s insurance policies covering the affected Properties with respect to any such damage or destruction.

4.5 Condemnation. If, during the period from the date hereof until the Closing, all or any portion of a Property is taken, or noticed for taking, by eminent domain, Seller shall promptly give Buyer written notice thereof. Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and receive the return of the Deposit as a result of any such taking or notice thereof to the extent that such constitutes a Material Adverse Effect.  In the event Buyer makes no election to terminate, Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all awards, if any, for any such taking, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep all awards for the taking of the Properties or portion thereof.

4.6 Release of Seller Guaranties.  Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, but shall not be obligated to incur any additional liability or cost, to obtain a release of the Seller Parties effective as of the Closing (or as soon thereafter as practicable) from all obligations and Liability under any guaranty and/or indemnity issued by any Seller Party in connection with the list of Assumed Contracts and Real Property Leases (each, a “Seller Guaranty”) set forth on Schedule 4.6 from and after the Closing; provided that Buyer instead may elect to cause to be provided to the applicable Seller Party an indemnity from and against any and all obligations and Liability under each Seller Guaranty for which a release is not provided effective as of Closing.   In the event Buyer elects to provide an indemnity as per the prior sentence of this Section, then at Closing, Buyer shall provide an indemnity, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Seller, from a creditworthy party reasonably acceptable to Seller, from and against any and all obligations and Liability under the applicable Seller Guaranties.  This Section 4.6 shall survive Closing.

4.7 License to Seller of Business IP.  Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, shall and does hereby grant to Seller and its Affiliates a non-exclusive, sublicenseable, transferable, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable and royalty-free license to use, for a period of nine (9) months following the Closing, the Business IP at or in connection with the travel centers that, at Closing

27

or thereafter, are owned by (or operated by or on behalf of) Seller or any of its Affiliates (or any of their respective successors or assigns).  All goodwill associated with trademarks included in the Business IP arising from use of the Business IP pursuant to the foregoing license in this Section 4.7 shall inure to the sole benefit of Buyer, and Seller and its Affiliates shall use such trademarks at a level of quality equivalent in all material respects to that in effect for such trademarks as of the Closing.  For purposes of clarity, nothing in this Section 4.7 shall preclude any uses of the Business IP by Seller and its Affiliates that are required or otherwise not prohibited under applicable Law, including references to the Business IP in historical, tax, and similar records.

4.8 Section 1031 Exchange.  Upon the request of Seller, and without material additional cost or any liability to Buyer, Buyer shall take all such actions as may be reasonably requested by Seller in order to effectuate all or any part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a forward or reverse like-kind exchange for the benefit of Seller in accordance with Section 1031 of the Code and, in the case of a reverse exchange, Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 2000-37. Such actions may include, Buyer’s execution and delivery of a new “stand-alone” purchase and sale agreement (each, an “LKE Agreement”) with respect to each individual Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property identified by Seller (each, an “LKE Property”). Each LKE Agreement shall be in a form and substance substantially similar to this Agreement and it shall not change or modify the rights or obligations of the parties hereunder in any material respect. Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of any such LKE Agreement, Seller and Buyer shall execute and deliver an amendment to this Agreement to remove the LKE Property from the properties required to be transferred by Seller under this Agreement and to reduce the Purchase Price by an amount equal to the “Purchase Price” under the LKE Agreement, provided all other representations, warranties and obligations of Seller with respect to such LKE Property under this Agreement shall continue without modification. In furtherance of this Section 4.8 and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any LKE Agreement to the contrary, Seller may assign its rights under this Agreement or any LKE Agreement to a “qualified intermediary” or an “exchange accommodation titleholder” in order to facilitate a forward or reverse like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Code, and Buyer agrees to execute and deliver an acknowledgment and consent to any such assignment by Seller of its rights under this Agreement or any such LKE Agreement to a qualified intermediary or an exchange accommodation titleholder; provided, however, such assignment shall not relieve Seller of any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

4.9 Litigation Assistance.  Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in the defense or prosecution of any actual or threatened claims or proceedings now in existence or which may be brought or threatened in the future against or on behalf of Seller that relate to events or occurrences affecting the Assets or Business that transpired prior to the Closing (it being understood that Seller shall have the right to control any such litigation, disputes or matters involving Excluded Liabilities).  Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to make available to Seller any third-party Transferred Employee to the extent any such claims relate to the Transferred Employee’s relationship with Seller, services performed or required to be performed for Seller by the Transferred Employee, or other pertinent knowledge possessed by the Transferred Employee.  Seller shall retain all rights to recover moneys due or damages being sought by Seller under any such litigation or disputes.

28

4.10 Transfer of Assets, Licenses and Permits and Environmental Insurance

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if such assignment, without the consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a breach or other contravention of such Asset, as applicable, or in any way adversely affect the rights of any party thereunder. Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer in any efforts of Buyer to obtain such consents after the execution of this Agreement until each such consent is obtained; provided that Seller shall not be required to incur any expense in connection with such efforts. If any such consent is not obtained prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer in any efforts of the assignee to obtain such consent as soon as practicable after the Closing Date; provided that Seller shall not be required to incur any expense in connection with such efforts. In addition, if requested by Buyer, Seller and its Affiliates, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, will cooperate with Buyer in a commercially reasonable arrangement under which Buyer would obtain the benefits and assume and be responsible for the obligations thereunder in accordance with this Agreement, including sub-contracting, sub-licensing, occupancy and/or use agreements or sub-leasing to the assignee party and enforcement by Seller or its Affiliates for the benefit of Buyer of any and all rights of the assigning party against a third party thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party, nor any of their respective Affiliates, shall be required to pay any form of consideration to any third party to obtain any consent except as specifically required by the applicable Asset.

(b) The Seller and the Buyer acknowledge that certain Licenses and Permits issued by Governmental Entities are required to carry on certain aspects of the Business following Closing. If any such Licenses and Permits are not transferable to Buyer at the Closing, and replacement Licenses and Permits have not otherwise been obtained by Buyer on or prior to the Closing, to the extent permitted under applicable Law and at no unreimbursed material cost or expense, Seller and its Affiliates shall maintain and comply with all such Licenses and Permits, and, at Buyer’s option, shall enter into a mutually acceptable arrangement with Buyer or its Affiliates to permit the continued operation of the Business as currently conducted at the applicable Property or Properties, until Buyer notifies Seller that (i) Buyer has obtained the requisite consents, novations, or approvals to transfer such Licenses or Permits, or (ii) Buyer has obtained replacement Licenses and Permits, so as to enable the Buyer to carry on the Business after Closing as currently conducted. Seller and its Affiliates shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer and take all actions reasonably necessary to obtain any consents, novations, approvals, licenses or authorizations from a Governmental Entity to transfer the Licenses and Permits to Buyer (to the extent permitted by Law) or that are otherwise reasonably required for Buyer to hold and use such Licenses and Permits from and after Closing in substantially the same form as they are held and used by Seller and its Affiliates as of the date hereof, and to allow Buyer to conduct the Business as currently conducted from and after the Closing; provided that Seller shall not be required to incur any expense in connection with such efforts.

29

(c) After the execution of this Agreement, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain coverage for Buyer as an additional insured under Xxxxxxx Eclipse Pollution Liability Policy Number W21A5180101 (the “Xxxxxxx Policy”) with respect to the Business until such time as Buyer is reasonably able to obtain its own policy for the Business; provided that Buyer shall promptly and diligently take all commercial reasonable efforts to obtain its own environmental insurance policy for the Business to the extent environmental insurance is required under Environmental Laws for the continued operation of the Business and to maintain eligibility under Government Remediation Funds; provided further that Seller shall not be required to incur any expense in connection with the above efforts and shall have no obligation to provide the benefits of the Xxxxxxx Policy to Seller in the event that Xxxxxxx does not agree to Seller as an additional insured; and provided further that Buyer covenants and agrees to take all actions required to maintain compliance with the Xxxxxxx Policy.  During any such period as the Buyer may be an additional insured under the Xxxxxxx Policy, in the event that proceeds from the Xxxxxxx Policy are used to fund claims for releases and other pollution events occurring after the Closing Date, Buyer shall promptly reimburse to Seller any such proceeds to the extent such payments limit Seller’s ability to recover for other claims that may arise under the Xxxxxxx Policy.

4.11 Parent Guarantee.

(a) Whenever in this Agreement the performance of or compliance with a covenant or obligation set forth in this Agreement (the “Seller Guaranteed Obligations”) is expressed to be required by Seller or its Affiliates, Seller Parent shall cause Seller and its Affiliates to punctually perform or comply with such Seller Guaranteed Obligation. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, if any Seller Guaranteed Obligation is not performed by Seller or its Affiliates when due, Seller Parent shall (subject to the provisions of this Agreement), within ten (10) Business Days following the written request of Buyer when such Seller Guaranteed Obligation is required to be performed pursuant to this Agreement, (i) pay or cause Seller or its Affiliates to pay in full in cash any of such Seller Guaranteed Obligation that is in the nature of a payment obligation, and (ii) perform or cause Seller or its Affiliates to perform any of such Seller Guaranteed Obligation that is not in the nature of a payment obligation, to the extent due but not already paid or performed. In the event Seller Parent fails to so pay or perform (or cause such payment or performance by Seller or its Affiliates) such Seller Guaranteed Obligation (subject to the provisions of this Agreement), Buyer may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to Buyer in respect of such failure to so pay or perform (or cause such payment or performance by Seller or its Affiliates), thereafter initiate a proceeding to pursue any rights available thereto against Seller or its Affiliates, or Seller Parent, or both (at the election of Buyer) in respect of all Seller Guaranteed Obligations that have not then been paid or performed within ten (10) Business Days following the written request of Buyer contemplated by the preceding sentence. Buyer may continue to pursue such rights and remedies in respect of such Seller Guaranteed Obligation until the earlier of (x) the payment or performance of such Seller Guaranteed Obligation in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and (y) the final disposition of such proceeding in a final, non-appealable order of a court of

30

competent jurisdiction or binding settlement agreement. Seller  Parent’s obligations under this Section 4.11(a) shall survive the Closing.

(b) Whenever in this Agreement the performance of or compliance with a covenant or obligation set forth in this Agreement (the “Buyer Guaranteed Obligations”) is expressed to be required by Buyer or its Affiliates, Buyer Parent shall cause Buyer and its Affiliates to punctually perform or comply with such Buyer Guaranteed Obligation. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, if any Buyer Guaranteed Obligation is not performed by Buyer or its Affiliates when due, Buyer Parent shall (subject to the provisions of this Agreement), within ten (10) Business Days following the written request of Seller when such Buyer Guaranteed Obligation is required to be performed pursuant to this Agreement, (i) pay or cause Buyer or its Affiliates to pay in full in cash any of such Buyer Guaranteed Obligation that is in the nature of a payment obligation, and (ii) perform or cause Buyer or its Affiliates to perform any of such Buyer Guaranteed Obligation that is not in the nature of a payment obligation, to the extent due but not already paid or performed. In the event Buyer Parent fails to so pay or perform (or cause such payment or performance by Buyer or its Affiliates) such Buyer Guaranteed Obligation (subject to the provisions of this Agreement), Seller may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to Seller in respect of such failure to so pay or perform (or cause such payment or performance by Buyer or its Affiliates), thereafter initiate a proceeding to pursue any rights available thereto against Buyer or its Affiliates, or Buyer Parent, or both (at the election of Seller) in respect of all Buyer Guaranteed Obligations that have not then been paid or performed within ten (10) Business Days following the written request of Seller contemplated by the preceding sentence. Seller may continue to pursue such rights and remedies in respect of such Buyer Guaranteed Obligation until the earlier of (x) the payment or performance of such Buyer Guaranteed Obligation in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and (y) the final disposition of such proceeding in a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or binding settlement agreement. Buyer Parent’s obligations under this Section 4.11(b) shall survive the Closing.

4.12 Exclusivity.  From the date hereof until the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, Seller and Seller Parent shall not (and the Seller and Seller Parent shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, consultants, financial advisors, accountants, legal counsel and other representatives, as applicable, not to), directly or indirectly, (i) submit, solicit, initiate, encourage or discuss any proposal or offer from any Person (other than Buyer and its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby) or enter into any agreement or accept any offer relating to or consummate any (a) reorganization, liquidation or dissolution of the Business, (b) merger or consolidation involving the Business, (c) purchase or sale of any Assets (other than the purchase and sale of inventory and the purchase of capital equipment in the Ordinary Course of Business), or (d) similar transaction or business combination involving the Business or the Assets (each of the foregoing transactions described in clauses (a) through (d), a “Competing Transaction”) or (ii) furnish any material information with respect to, assist or participate in or facilitate in any other manner any effort or attempt by any Person (other than Buyer and its Affiliates) to do or seek to do any of the foregoing.  With respect to the Persons with whom discussions or negotiations have been terminated, Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the return or destruction of, in accordance with the terms

31

of an applicable confidentiality agreement, any confidential information previously furnished to any such Person by Seller, its Affiliates, or any of their respective representatives.

4.13 Assignment of Reimbursement Rights  At Closing, Seller shall assign to Buyer by execution and delivery of an Assignment of Reimbursement Claims in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller (the “Assignment of Reimbursement Claims”) any rights to apply for, receive, retain, or use in any manner reimbursement funds available from any Government Remediation Fund with respect to remediation occurring on or after the Closing Date at the Properties, in each case to the extent assignable.  Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate to effectuate the purpose of this Section 4.13.

4.14 Assistance with Financing Arrangements  Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to provide, and shall direct its officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, financial advisors, accountants, and other representatives to use reasonable best efforts to provide, all cooperation reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with the arrangement of debt financing for purposes of the transactions contemplated hereby, including by use reasonable best efforts to provide information, reasonable assistance, reasonable access and/or other cooperation in connection with Buyer’s financing arrangements, including in relation to syndication, ratings, guarantees and security, corporate authorizations and “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations in relation to such financing arrangements, in each case to the extent reasonably requested by Buyer,  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including this Section 4.14) nothing in this Agreement (including this Section 4.14) shall require any such cooperation to the extent that it would: (A) require the Seller or any Subsidiary to pay any commitment or other fees, reimburse any expenses or otherwise incur any liabilities or give any indemnities; (B) unreasonably interfere with the ongoing business or operations of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries; (C) require any Seller or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into or approve any agreement or other documentation in connection with Buyer’s financing; (D) require Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective boards of directors (or equivalent bodies) to approve or authorize Buyer’s financing; (E) require any action that would conflict with or violate the organizational documents of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or any Laws, orders or the contracts governing the existing indebtedness of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or result in the contravention of, or that would reasonably be expected to result in a violation or breach of, or default under, any contract to which Seller or any of its Subsidiaries is a party; (F) cause any representation or warranty or covenant in this Agreement to be breached by the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries; (G) cause any director, officer, employee or stockholder of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries to incur any personal liability; (H) provide access to or disclose information that would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries; or (I) prepare separate financial statements for Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or change any fiscal period or prepare or provide any financial statements or information that are not available to it.

37

7.4 Procedures Relating to Indemnification for Third Party Claims.

(a) Notice. In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any third party, including any Governmental Entity (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party must provide an Indemnification Notice to the Indemnifying Party relating to the Third Party Claim reasonably promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim, but in no event more than twenty (20) Business Days after being served with any summons, complaint or similar legal process; provided, however, that failure to give timely notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party suffers actual prejudice as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, reasonably promptly and in any event within two (2) Business Days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents, including all court papers, received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.

(b) Defense. If a Third Party Claim is made against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the negotiation, settlement and defense thereof with counsel of its choice and, if the Indemnifying Party so chooses, to assume the negotiation, settlement and defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party so elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for the fees and expenses of counsel subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that (i) prior to assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall provide to the Indemnified Party an undertaking stating that such Indemnifying Party is able to and will assume the payment of all defense fees and costs and (ii) the Indemnifying Party’s assumption of the defense of such Third Party Claim shall not signify any agreement, obligation or commitment on the part of the Indemnifying Party to assume or pay any amount awarded to a claimant in respect of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Third Party Claim, then the Parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records that are reasonably 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. If the Indemnifying Party has not within thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of an Indemnification Notice relating to a Third Party Claim, chosen to assume defense of a Third Party Claim or fails to defend such Third Party Claim actively and in good faith, then the Indemnified Party shall (upon

38

further written notice) have the right to defend such Third Party Claim.  The Indemnified Party shall not take any action the purpose of which is to prejudice the defense of any claim subject to indemnification hereunder or to induce a third party to assert a claim subject to indemnification hereunder.

(c) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), unless such settlement provides solely for monetary damages or other monetary payments that will be made by the Indemnifying Party and does not provide for liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent may be withheld in the Indemnifying Party’s sole discretion).

7.5 Environmental Claim Procedures And Limitations.

(a) Seller shall only be required to indemnify the Buyer Parties against any Losses arising out of a breach of Section 2.1(g) or the Excluded Environmental Liabilities to the extent that:

(i) the investigation, remediation, corrective action or other response action (the “Remedial Work”) is required by a Governmental Entity or to resolve a Third Party Claim under an Environmental Law;

(ii) the Remedial Work is conducted so as to comply with the least stringent remedial standards that would be applicable given the use of the property as of the day before the Closing Date;

(iii) the Remedial Work is the minimum required to achieve compliance with the requirements if a Governmental Entity or to resolve a Third Party Claim; and

(iv) the Remedial Work is conducted using the most cost effective methods and measures (including deed restrictions and other activity and use limitations) allowed under Environmental Law.

(b) Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify the Buyer Parties against any Losses arising out of a breach of Section 2.1(g) or the Excluded Environmental Liabilities to the extent that such Losses arise or result from:

(i) any increase in the cost of Remedial Work due to an act or omission by the Buyer Parties or any of their agents, employees or other persons given access to the properties under their direction or control;

39

(ii) any capital improvements or modifications associated with any property occurring after the Closing Date;

(iii) any change in use of a property or the operations conducted thereon (including the closure or sale of a business, or the construction or replacement of structures or equipment) occurring after the Closing Date;

(iv) any investigation, sampling, assessment, study or other Remedial Work undertaken that is not required by applicable Environmental Law;

(v) any disclosure or reporting to a Governmental Entity or Third Party that is not required by applicable Environmental Law

(c) All claims by the Buyer Parties for indemnification for Losses arising out of a breach of Section 2.1(g) or the Excluded Environmental Liabilities shall be treated as Third-Party Claims governed by Section 7.4 of this Agreement.

(d) The Buyer Parties shall provide reasonable access to the properties for purposes of the Remedial Work, cooperate in obtaining third-party consents and, if requested, execute and permit to be recorded and implemented reasonable institutional controls, engineering controls, remediation systems, deed restrictions and other use or activity limitations as will facilitate the completion of the Remedial Work

(e) The Buyer Parties covenant and agree to take all commercially reasonable measures to ensure that the Assets and the Business obtain and maintain eligibility for any applicable Government Remediation Fund and comply with other relevant underground storage tank laws during the period that any Excluded Environmental Liabilities are subject to Seller’s obligations under this Agreement.

7.6 Insurance And Other Sources Of Recovery. The obligation of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify the Indemnified Party against any Losses under this Section 7 shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party from third party insurers and Government Remediation Funds with respect to such Losses.

7.7 Effect of Investigation. The Buyer Parties shall not be entitled to recover Losses arising under Section 7.1(a) to the extent Buyer had actual knowledge, at or prior to the Closing Date, of a fact or series of related facts that it reasonably believed would be a breach of a representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement.

7.7 Duty to Mitigate. In all cases in which a Person is entitled to be indemnified in accordance with this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall be under a duty to take all commercially reasonable measures to mitigate all Losses of which it is aware. Without limiting the foregoing, each Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to collect any amount available under applicable insurance coverage for any Losses for which an indemnity claim is being made.  No Indemnified Party may take any action for the purpose of prejudicing the defense of any claim subject to indemnification hereunder or to induce a third party to assess a claim subject to indemnification hereunder.

40

7.8 Exclusive Remedy, etc. From and after the Closing, the indemnification provisions of this Section 7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims arising out of or relating to a Party’s breach of its representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the Excluded Environmental Liabilities. No party shall be entitled to a rescission of this Agreement (or any related agreements) related to the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein.
