(i) the volumes of all Onsite Inventory in process units and pipeworks shall not be measured or valued by the Field Inspector or the Parties, (ii) the volumes of all Hydrocarbon Inventory in transit, whether inbound or outbound, by pipeline (including line fill), railcar or truck shall be determined as set forth on Exhibit G-2 and shall not be measured by the Field Inspector or included in the Field Inspector Report but shall instead be validated by bills of lading (in the case of railcar or truck loads) or meter tickets for pipeline batches, and (iii) all crude tank and other volume compositions shall be determined as set forth on Exhibit G-2. With respect to the Onsite Inventory measured by the Field Inspector, such Onsite Inventory shall be measured in accordance with the procedures reflected in Exhibit G-2

(f) Seller shall not take or permit to be taken any actions that would reduce the level of Hydrocarbon Inventory between the Execution Date and the Closing Date. Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Field Inspector to issue a written report (the “Field Inspector Report”) to Buyer and Seller within five (5) Business Days after the Inventory Measurement Date setting forth the volumes and quantities of the Onsite Inventory WPC Inventory as of the Inventory Measurement Date (to the extent such Hydrocarbon Inventory is measured by the Field Inspector in accordance with Exhibit G-2) and such volumes and quantities shall be deemed to be final and binding on Buyer and Seller (absent manifest error). The fees and expenses of the Field Inspector shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer.

(g) As promptly as practicable, but in any event no later than 20 days following receipt of the Field Inspector Report, Seller shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Buyer a statement (the “Closing Inventory Statement”), together with (where applicable) supporting calculations and information, setting forth as of the Measurement Time on the Inventory Measurement Date: (i) the volumes of the Onsite Inventory and WPC Inventory as determined consistently with the manner in which Onsite Inventory and WPC Inventory was determined on May 31, 2016 and reflected in Exhibit G-1, and otherwise in accordance with this Section 5.7 and Exhibit G-2; (ii) the volumes of the Offsite Inventory determined as set forth on Exhibit G-2; and (iii) the value of the Onsite Inventory, the Offsite Inventory and the WPC Inventory, which value shall be determined in accordance with the procedures set forth in Exhibit G-3—Hydrocarbon Inventory Valuation Procedures (such value, the “Closing Inventory Value”). The Closing Inventory Statement shall be in substantially the same format as Exhibit G-1 to the extent practical.

(h) No later than 20 days following its receipt of the Closing Inventory Statement, Buyer shall give Seller notice of (i) its acceptance of the Closing Inventory Statement (including the Closing Inventory Value) or (ii) specific and reasonably detailed objections to the Closing Inventory Value and/or (to the extent expressly permitted in Exhibit G-2) the volumes set forth in the Closing Inventory Statement, and Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed with all matters set forth in the Closing Inventory Statement that are not so objected to. If Buyer fails to give such notice before the end of such 20-day period, the Closing Inventory Statement will be deemed final and binding upon the Parties. If Buyer gives such notice to Seller of Buyer’s objection within such 20-day period, and Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve the issues in dispute within 10 days after delivery of such notice of objection, each of Buyer’s and Seller’s positions on the remaining items in dispute with respect to the computation of the Closing Inventory Value will be submitted to an independent and qualified party mutually selected by the parties (the “Dispute Inspector”) such as an accounting firm or independent inspector, for final resolution. The fees and expenses of the Dispute Inspector shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer.

(i) If the total Closing Inventory Value (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 5 .7) minus the total May EOM Inventory Value (such difference, the “Inventory Balance”) is less than zero, then, subject to Section 8.1(c), Buyer may bring a Claim for Indemnification under Section 8.2(b) for the absolute value of the Inventory Balance (an “Inventory Claim”).

(j) Each Party agrees that it shall not take any actions with respect to the operations books and records, accounting books and records, policies and procedures of itself or its Affiliates that would obstruct or prevent the preparation of an accurate Closing Inventory Statement as provided in this Section 5.7. From the Closing through the final determination of the Closing Inventory Value in accordance with this Section 5.7, Seller and Buyer shall provide one another with reasonable access at all reasonable times to the personnel, properties, and books and records of the Companies for purposes of determining the Closing Inventory Value, including granting their respective representatives the right to observe the measuring and sampling of the Onsite Inventory on the Measurement Date.

(k) The provisions of this Section 5.7 shall survive the Closing.

Section 5.8 Intercompany Accounts. At or prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause to be settled, repaid or cancelled all intercompany accounts that are unpaid as of the Closing between a Company, on the one hand, and Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Companies), on the other hand.

Section 5.9 Payoff Letters. Seller shall use its commercially reasonably efforts to deliver to Buyer, at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, copies of executed payoff letters, in customary form (the “Payoff Letters”), from the lenders under the Credit Facility and each other item of Closing Indebtedness that (a) confirm the aggregate outstanding amount required to be paid to fully satisfy the Credit Facility and such other Closing Indebtedness as of the anticipated Closing Date (and the daily per diem accrual of interest thereafter) (the “Payoff Amount”), (b) provide that upon (i) receipt of the applicable Payoff Amount and (ii) the consummation of arrangements satisfactory to the issuers thereof, the Credit Facility and such other Closing Indebtedness shall be terminated except for indemnification and reimbursement obligations which by their terms expressly survive the termination of the Credit Facility and such other Closing Indebtedness and (c) provide that (i) all Indebtedness, Liens and all guarantees granted in connection with the Credit Facility and such other Closing Indebtedness shall be, upon the payment of the Payoff Amount at the Closing, automatically released, terminated and discharged and (ii) the Companies, Buyer or their designees are authorized from and after the Closing to file all Uniform Commercial Code termination statements as are necessary to effectuate, or reflect of public record, the release and discharge of such Liens. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall obtain all documents, terminations and releases (including with respect to outstanding mortgages), as are reasonably necessary to release such Liens as of the Closing upon receipt of the applicable Payoff Amount. Seller shall be responsible for all costs, expenses, fees and other amounts payable in connection with the request for the Payoff Letters.

Section 5.10 Title Policies. Buyer may procure, at its sole cost and expense, owner’s title insurance policies with respect to the Owned Real Property; provided, however, that Buyer’s ability or inability to obtain title insurance on such Owned Real Property shall not result in an adjustment to Purchase Price; provided, further, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to mitigate the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.11. Seller and its Affiliates shall execute and deliver to the title insurance company such affidavits, certificates and other documentation as may be reasonably requested to facilitate the issuance of title insurance policies for the Owned Real Property; provided, however, that nothing in such affidavits, certificates or documentation shall require Seller or its Affiliates to incur any liabilities or obligations to any Person that are not otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or to certify or attest to facts or circumstances that are not factually true, correct or complete in any respect. Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer with any reasonable request in Buyer’s efforts to obtain such title policies; provided that Seller shall not be obligated to incur any costs or expenses in connection with such assistance. It is expressly agreed that Buyer’s obtaining such policies is not a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close the Transactions.

Section 5.11 Company Monthly Consolidated Financial Statements. During the Interim Period, Seller shall deliver to Buyer, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than 25 days after the end of each calendar month, the unaudited consolidated interim balance sheet and statement of operations, cash flows and statement of changes in members’ equity of the Companies as of and for the period for each calendar month then ended (the “Company Monthly Financial Statements”). The Company Monthly Financial Statements shall be prepared on a basis consistent with manner in which the Financial Statements were prepared.

Section 5.12 Financing Matters.

(a) Each of Buyer and Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to obtain the Equity Financing in advance of Closing. Upon request of Seller, Buyer will notify Seller in reasonable detail regarding all material developments concerning the Equity Financing. Buyer or Parent will promptly notify Seller if any portion of the Equity Financing becomes unavailable.

(b) During the Interim Period, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, and shall cause the Companies and its and their respective Representatives to use commercially reasonable efforts to, provide, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, all information as may be reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s and Parent’s efforts to obtain the Equity Financing provided that (i) none of Seller or any Company shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any Liability in connection with the Equity Financing, (ii) such provision does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of Seller or any Company and their businesses, (iii) Seller shall not have any Liability for any statements, materials or information provided by Seller or any Company or their Representatives to Buyer in connection with obtaining the Equity Financing and (iv) none of Seller or any Company shall have any Liability for any statements, materials or information provided by Seller or any Company or their Representatives to Buyer in connection with obtaining the Equity Financing. Buyer and Parent shall, promptly upon request by Seller, reimburse Seller for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by Seller or

the Companies in connection with information provided pursuant to this Section 5.12 (including reasonable legal costs and expenses); and shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and each Company and their Representatives from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by such Persons arising from the information provided by such Persons pursuant to this Section 5.12 in arranging the Equity Financing EVEN IF CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT), STRICT LIABILITY OR LEGAL FAULT OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON (other than to the extent such Losses arise from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Seller or any Company or any of their Representatives) and any information utilized in connection therewith.

Section 5.13 Seller Guarantees. Attached hereto as Schedule 5.13 is a schedule prepared by Seller setting forth those Seller Guarantees that relate to and are supporting the obligations of Refinery Company with respect to purchases of crude oil that will be delivered in June 2016 or in July 2016 and that are anticipated to be delivered in August 2016 (the “Active Seller Guarantees”). Seller shall, prior to Closing, secure the release of itself from, and/or terminate, all of the Seller Guarantees other than the Active Seller Guarantees. Following the Closing, Seller, Parent and Buyer shall cooperate and use their commercially reasonable effort to obtain a release of Seller from the Active Seller Guarantees; provided, however, that if after using its commercially reasonable efforts, Seller is unable to secure such release, Buyer shall, if required by the beneficiary of any Active Seller Guarantee, provide a replacement or substitute guarantee of Buyer in respect of such Active Seller Guarantee; provided, further, that in no event shall Parent be required to provide a replacement or substitute guarantee, or Parent or Buyer be required to provide a letter of credit, bond, security deposit or any other form of credit support, in each case, in consideration for the release of Seller from such Seller Guarantee. If Buyer assigns a material portion of the Assets outside of the ordinary course of business, any Units and/or any of the Capital Stock in Pipeline Company prior to the termination of the Active Seller Guarantees, then such assignee shall also assume Buyer’s obligations pursuant to this Section 5.13 and Section 8.3(e).

ARTICLE 6

POST-CLOSING COVENANTS

The Parties agree as follows with respect to the period following Closing.

Section 6.1 General. In case at any time after Closing any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the Parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any other Party reasonably may request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting Party (unless the request is made pursuant Section 6.4 or the requesting Party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article 8).

Section 6.2 Litigation Support. In the event and for so long as any Party actively is contesting or defending against any Proceeding (a “Litigating Party”) (other than any Proceeding initiated (directly or indirectly) by one or more other Parties against such Litigating Party) in connection with the Transactions, the other Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such information to such Litigating Party and its counsel, as such Litigating Party determines is reasonably necessary in connection with the relevant defense or contest, all at the sole cost and expense of the Litigating Party (unless the Litigating Party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article 8).

Section 6.3 Employee Matters.

(a) Schedule 6.3(a) sets forth (i) the name and title of certain Employees employed as of the Execution Date (the “Specified Employees”), (ii) the Employee Obligations that would arise in connection with the termination of each such Specified Employee and (iii) Buyer’s anticipated categorization of such Specified Employee as a Continued Employee, a Transitional Employee or a Non-Continued Employee. Each Employee that is not a Specified Employee shall be deemed a Continued Employee for the purposes of this Section 6.3. Subject to applicable Law and all agreements and other arrangements with the Specified Employees, not fewer than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall provide Seller with a schedule (the “Employee Severance Schedule”) of the Specified Employees to whom Buyer or its Affiliate will provide continuing employment (whether at Buyer, an Affiliate of the Buyer or the Companies), subject to the employment practices and policies of Buyer and its Affiliates (the “Continued Employees”), a list of Specified Employees whom Buyer will provide continuing employment during a six month transitional period following the Closing (the “Transitional Employees”) and a list of Specified Employees whom Buyer will not provide continuing employment for the period after the Closing (the “Non-Continued Employees”); provided, however, in each case the number of employees identified as Transitional Employees and Non-Continued Employees on the Employee Severance Schedule shall not materially differ from the number of employees identified as Transitional Employees and Non-Continued Employees on Schedule 6.3(a). The employment of the Continued Employees with Buyer, an Affiliate of Buyer or the Companies (A) shall be effective or shall continue, as applicable, as of the Closing Date, (B) shall provide for a substantially comparable pay rate as earned by the Continued Employee immediately prior to the Closing through December 31, 2016, and (C) shall offer such employee continued employment in his or her current position or a position with materially comparable duties (subject to Buyer’s, its Affiliate’s, the Companies’ ability to terminate any employee at any time and for any reason). In addition, following the Closing, the Continued Employees will continue to participate in all Company Benefit Plans on the same basis and the same extent as they participated prior to the Closing, unless and until Buyer determines to amend, modify, terminate, substitute or replace such plans, which Buyer may do in its discretion. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer with Buyer’s (or the Companies’ immediately following Closing) entry into employment agreements with any Continued Employee.

(b) Prior to the Closing Date, and following the adoption of the amendment and restatement of the Company Severance Plan (in form and substance consistent with the terms of this Agreement and acceptable to Buyer) by Refining Company, Seller and the Companies shall take all action necessary to transfer the sponsorship of the Company Severance Plan to Refining Company such that all obligations and payments thereunder will be the responsibility of and will be paid by the Companies and not by Seller. Prior to the Closing Date, following the receipt of the Employee Severance Schedule, the Companies shall terminate the employment of all Non-Continued Employees. Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all employment agreements entered into between Seller or a Company, on the one

hand, and Seller’s or a Company’s employees, on the other hand, providing services to the Companies to be terminated and for such employees to execute and deliver a release that is acceptable to Buyer in its reasonable discretion in exchange for the payment of the applicable Employee Obligations. At Closing or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Companies shall pay to each Non-Continued Employee and each Transitional Employee that has delivered a release that has become effective and non-revocable ((i) as provided by the Company Severance Plan (as amended prior to Closing), with respect to such Employees that do not have an employment agreement or (ii) that is reasonably acceptable to Buyer, with respect to such Employees that have an employment agreement) an amount equal to the Employee Obligations for each such Employee, by check or direct deposit in accordance with customary payroll pay procedures, which amounts for the Transitional Employees will take the form a transaction bonus. With respect to any Non-Continued Employee or Transitional Employee (A) that does not have an employment agreement and has not delivered the release provided for in the Company Severance Plan (as amended prior to Closing) or such Transitional Employee’s transaction bonus agreement, as applicable, then on December 31, 2016, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Employee Obligations of such Employee as set forth on Schedule 6.3(a), and (B) that has an employment agreement and has not delivered a release reasonably acceptable to Buyer, then Buyer shall pay to Seller on the earlier of (1) the date of Seller’s payment of Employee Obligations to such Employee, the amount of Employee Obligations actually paid by Seller to such Employee and (2) December 31, 2016, the amount of the Employee Obligations for such Employee.

(c) To the extent that any Continued Employee becomes eligible to participate in any Employee Benefit Plans or programs that Buyer or its Affiliates or a Company maintains or implements after the Closing (each a “Buyer Benefit Plan”), then for all purposes (including determining eligibility to participate and vesting under plans), service with a Company shall be treated as service under such Buyer Benefit Plan in as similar a manner as practicable; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, such service need not be recognized as benefit service (A) under any Buyer Benefit Plan which is a qualified defined benefit pension plan or (B) to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits.

(d) From and after the Closing, the Companies will be solely responsible for all obligations and benefits under the Company Benefit Plans (excluding any such plan maintained by an ERISA Affiliate that is not one of the Companies or a subsidiary thereof) and all employment agreements entered into by the Companies with any Employees of the Companies, and Seller shall have no liability in connection therewith, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer shall not be responsible for any employment agreements entered into between Seller and any Employee, except with respect to the payments specified in Section 6.3(b). Buyer shall pay to each Continued Employee whose employment is terminated by Buyer, its Affiliate or a Company within 12 months of the Closing, a severance benefit package equivalent to that which would have been provided to such individual upon termination by Company under the Company Severance Plan, subject to the terms and eligibility condition of such plan and provided that such Continued Employee is not entitled to any other severance payment whether pursuant to an employment agreement or otherwise.

(e) Buyer acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Seller will not pay any performance or other bonuses to any Employees for any portion of the year in which the Closing occurs and that any performance or other bonuses for the year in which the Closing occurs will be the responsibility of the Companies (or of the Buyer or its Affiliates), which bonus amounts, if any, Buyer may determine in its sole discretion, subject to the terms of any applicable employment agreements, and, for the avoidance of doubt, such bonuses will not constitute Employee Obligations hereunder.

(f) After the Closing, Buyer shall ensure that neither Company shall, at any time prior to 90 days after the Closing Date, effectuate a “plant closing” or “mass layoff” as those terms are defined in the WARN Act. The Company shall provide to Buyer, on the Closing Date, a list of all employees terminated by a Company in the 90-day period immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(g) Buyer will cause the Limited Liability Company Agreement and Pipeline Company’s limited liability company agreement to contain indemnification provisions effective for not fewer than six years after the Closing for the benefit of any of the Companies’ members, directors, officers, agents and employees (“Covered Persons”) which are at least as favorable in all material respects to the Covered Persons as compared to current provisions regarding indemnification contained in the Limited Liability Company Agreement and the limited liability company agreement of Pipeline Company, as the case may be.

(h) The provisions of this Section 6.3 (other than Section 6.3(g)) are for the sole benefit of the Parties and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person (including any Employee), other than the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein, express or implied: (A) shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement (including any Employee Benefit Plan); (B) shall alter or limit Buyer’s or any Company’s ability to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement (including any Employee Benefit Plan); or (C) is intended to confer upon any current or former employee of any Company any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment.

(i) With respect to each Non-Continued Employee and Transitional Employee, during the 12 month period following the termination of such Non-Continued Employee’s and Transitional Employee’s employment with a Company, Buyer may not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Seller, solicit for employment or hire any Non-Continued Employee or Transitional Employee, except for offers of employment made pursuant to a general solicitation of employment to the public or the industry.

(j) On the date that is six months following the Closing Date (the “Transition Date”), Buyer shall deliver to Seller a schedule setting forth each Transitional Employee and if such Transitional Employee is still employed by the Companies on the Transition Date or, if such Transitional Employee is not still employed by the Companies on the Transition Date, the date of termination of such Transitional Employee.

Section 6.4 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Returns. The preparation and filing of all Tax Returns by or on behalf of the Companies after the Closing shall be governed by the following provisions:

(i) Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and timely (with applicable extensions) file, or caused to be filed, all Tax Returns of the Companies for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods that are filed or required to be filed after the Closing Date. Any such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with prior Tax Returns of the Companies except as otherwise required by Law. Reasonably in advance of filing any such Tax Return, but no later than 30 days prior to the due date (including extensions thereof) (“Due Date”) for the filing of any such Tax Returns that constitute Income Tax Returns, Buyer shall submit, or cause to be submitted, to Seller for review, comment, and approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) a draft of such Tax Return. Buyer shall provide Seller with copies of all backup documentation and work papers supporting the preparation of such draft Tax Returns as Seller may reasonably request. Seller shall have 20 days following the date of delivery of the draft Tax Return to notify Buyer in writing of either (A) any objection to such draft Tax Return or (B) Seller’s approval of the draft Tax Return. If Seller fails to provide written notice to Buyer within such twenty-day time period, Seller shall be conclusively treated as having approved of such Tax Return for all purposes hereunder. In the event Seller timely notifies Buyer of any objection with respect to a draft Tax Return (“Objection Notice”), Buyer shall consider in good faith Seller’s comments to such draft Tax Return. Buyer and Seller shall attempt in good faith to resolve all disputed items and amounts. If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any disagreement within 30 days of Buyer’s receipt of the Objection Notice, the unresolved disputes shall be referred to the Accountants for resolution in accordance with Section 6.4(a)(ii); provided, however, that in the event that any disputed items cannot be resolved by the Due Date for filing the applicable Tax Return, the applicable Tax Return shall be filed by such Due Date reflecting Buyer’s position with respect to such disputed items and shall, if necessary, be amended promptly after resolution of the dispute to reflect such resolution. Buyer shall deliver to Seller a complete and accurate copy of each such Tax Return prepared and filed by Buyer pursuant to this Section 6.4(a)(i) within 15 days of filing.

(ii) Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to resolve all remaining disagreements identified in any Objection Notice as soon as practicable, but in any event shall direct the Accounting Firm to render a written determination within 60 days after its retention. The Accounting Firm shall consider only those items and amounts (and any substantiating documentation from Buyer and Seller in connection therewith) that are identified as the items in dispute. In resolving any disputed item, the Parties will direct the Accounting Firm not to assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or less than

the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party. The Accounting Firm’s determination of the disputed items shall be made based solely on substantiating documentation submitted by Buyer and Seller (i.e., not on independent review), the applicable definitions set forth herein, and an analysis that is consistent with and in accordance with the methodologies and principles contemplated herein. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon Buyer and Seller, and shall not be subject to appeal or further review absent manifest error. The Parties shall promptly comply with all reasonable requests by the Accountant for information, books, records and similar items. The costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne 50% by Buyer, on the one hand, and 50% by Seller, on the other hand.

(iii) Buyer shall timely pay or cause to be paid to the appropriate Taxing Authority an amount equal to the total liability for Taxes shown to be due and payable on any Tax Return to be filed pursuant to Section 6.4(a)(i). In connection with the filing of any such Tax Return by Buyer, Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the portion of the total liability for Taxes shown to be due and payable on the Tax Return that constitutes Seller Taxes within seven days after receiving notice from Buyer that payment of such Taxes has either been made or will be made by Buyer or a Company (but in no event any sooner than two Business Days prior to the Due Date for such Tax Return, except as Seller otherwise decides in his sole discretion).

(iv) Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, Seller will not file or cause to be filed any amended Tax Returns for the Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, Buyer will not file or cause or allow to be filed any amended Tax Returns for the Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

(v) Seller shall, at the expense of Seller, prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all Transfer Taxes applicable to Seller, subject to reimbursement by Buyer for Transfer Taxes allocated to Buyer pursuant to Section 6.4(f).

(b) Cooperation. After the Closing, until expiration of the statutes of limitation applicable for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods, Seller and Buyer (and Buyer shall cause the Companies and their respective Affiliates to) reasonably cooperate with each other, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns pursuant to Section 6.4(a) and any Tax Proceeding. In such regard, each Party shall, and shall use reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates to, provide to the other Party such cooperation and information as any of them may reasonably request in filing any Tax Returns (including any reporting required pursuant to Section 6043 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) or any Tax Proceeding, including making its employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis at its cost

to provide explanation of any documents or information so provided. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of all relevant portions of relevant Tax Returns, together with relevant accompanying schedules, relevant documents relating to rulings or other determinations by Taxing Authorities and relevant records concerning the ownership and Tax basis of property, that such Party may possess.

(c) Confidentiality. Any information shared in connection with Taxes shall be kept confidential, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or Tax Proceedings, or as required by Law.

(d) Tax Proceedings. The administration of all Tax Proceedings shall be governed by the following provisions:

(i) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.4(d), any Tax Proceeding associated with Seller Taxes shall constitute a Third Party Claim governed by the procedures set forth in Section 8.4. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 6.4(d) and the provisions of Section 8.4, this Section 6.4(d) shall control.

(ii) Buyer and the Companies, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall provide prompt written notice to each other upon becoming aware of any pending or threatened Tax Proceeding, including copies of all correspondence with any Taxing Authority with respect thereto; provided, however, that no delay providing such notification shall relieve Seller from any obligation to indemnify Buyer under Section 8.2 unless (and then solely to the extent) Buyer is materially prejudiced thereby. Such notice shall be in addition to any notice of a Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 8.4(a).

(iii) Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed of the progress of any Tax Proceeding under Seller’s sole control pursuant to Section 8.4.

(iv) Buyer shall have the right, at its own expense, to control and make all decisions taken in connection with any Tax Proceeding regarding a Straddle Period; provided, however, that if the results of any such Tax Proceeding would reasonably be expected to result in any liability under Section 8.2 for Seller in excess of $25,000, then Buyer shall not settle any such proceeding without Seller’s prior written consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and Seller shall, at its own expense, have a right to participate in the defense and settlement of any such Tax Proceeding.

(e) Tax Refunds and Credits. The amount of any refunds or credits of Taxes of the Companies for any taxable period ending on or prior to Closing Date and for the portion of any Straddle Period through the end of the Closing Date shall be for the account of Seller. The amount of any refunds or credits of Taxes of the Companies for any taxable period or the portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date shall be for the account of the Buyer. The amount of any refunds or credits of Taxes of the Companies for any Straddle

Period shall be equitably apportioned between Buyer and Seller in accordance with the principles set forth in the definition of Straddle Period Seller Taxes. Each Party shall forward, and shall cause its Affiliates to forward, to the Party entitled to receive a refund or credit of Tax pursuant to this Section 6.4(e) the amount of such refund or credit within 30 days after such refund is received or such credit is recognized, in each case net of any reasonable costs or expenses incurred by such Party or its Affiliates in procuring such refund. Buyer shall take all necessary actions, or cause the Companies to take all necessary actions, as commercially reasonable (i) to obtain any refunds of Taxes of the Companies for the account of Seller pursuant to this Section 6.4(e), or (ii) to obtain credits or offsets to Taxes of the Companies attributable to taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date or the portion of any Straddle Period through the Closing Date.

(f) Transfer Taxes. Buyer and Seller shall each pay 50% of any Transfer Taxes.

(g) Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing agreements or similar agreements and all powers of attorney with respect to or involving the Companies (other than such agreements or powers of attorney between the Companies) shall be terminated prior to the Closing and, on and after the Closing, no Company shall be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

(h) Wage Reporting. The Parties shall use or cause their respective Affiliates to use the alternate procedure set forth in Revenue Procedure 2004-53 with respect to wage reporting.

(i) Purchase Price Allocation. Seller and Buyer shall allocate the Purchase Price (and any assumed obligations or other items required to be treated as purchase price for U.S. federal income tax purposes) among the Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and the Allocation Schedule. Buyer and Seller also shall allocate and report any adjustments to the Purchase Price in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1060-1(e), and any allocations made as a result of such adjustments shall become part of the allocation pursuant to this Section 6.4(i). Buyer and Seller further acknowledge and agree that they will file all Tax Returns and related forms (including IRS Form 8594) in accordance with this Section 6.4(i), and will not make any inconsistent statement or take any inconsistent position on any Tax Return, in any refund claim or during the course of any Tax Proceeding, except as otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. Each Party will notify the other if it receives notice that the IRS proposes any allocation that is different from the allocation contemplated in this this Section 6.4(i); provided, however, that the Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) Buyer’s cost for the Assets may differ from the total amount allocated under this Section 6.4(i) to reflect the inclusion in the total cost of items (for example, capitalized acquisition costs) not included in the amount so allocated, (ii) the amount realized by Seller may differ from the total amount allocated under this Section 6.4(i) to reflect transaction costs that reduce the amount realized for federal income tax purposes, (iii) nothing contained herein shall prevent Buyer or Seller from settling any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Taxing Authority based upon or arising out of the Allocation Schedule, and (iv) neither Seller nor any of their Affiliates nor Buyer or any of its Affiliates will be obligated to litigate any challenge to such allocation of the Purchase Price by any Taxing Authority.

(j) Allocation Schedule. Within 60 days after the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a schedule allocating the Purchase Price among the Assets in accordance with Section 6.4(i) (the “Proposed Allocation Schedule”). Within 20 days after receiving the Proposed Allocation Schedule, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing if Buyer has any objections to the allocations proposed in the Proposed Allocation Schedule, and shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for any such objections. If Buyer does not so notify Seller of any such objection to the allocations proposed in the Proposed Allocation Schedule, then the Proposed Allocation Schedule shall thereafter be final and binding on all Parties. If Buyer timely notifies Seller of objections to any of the proposed allocations in the Proposed Allocation Schedule, then Buyer and Seller shall attempt in good faith to resolve all disputed items and amounts. If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any disagreement within thirty (30) days of Seller’s receipt of the notice of objection from Buyer, the unresolved disputes shall be referred to the Accountants for resolution in accordance with the principals set forth in Section 6.4(a)(iii). The Proposed Allocation Schedule, upon becoming final and binding in accordance with the foregoing (including any revisions thereby made to the Proposed Allocation Schedule), shall constitute the “Allocation Schedule.”

(k) Treatment of the Transaction. The Parties acknowledge and agree that each Company is an entity disregarded as separate from Seller, and accordingly, the transaction contemplated by this Agreement will constitute a purchase and sale of the Assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Buyer and Seller further acknowledge and agree that they will file all Tax Returns in accordance with this Section 6.4(k), and will not make any inconsistent statement or take any inconsistent position on any Tax Return, in any refund claim or during the course of any Tax Proceeding, except as otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. Each Party will notify the other if it receives notice that the IRS proposes a treatment of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement that is different from the treatment contemplated in this Section 6.4(k) provided, however, that the Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) nothing contained herein shall prevent Buyer or Seller from settling any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Taxing Authority based upon or arising out of the treatment of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) neither Seller nor any of their Affiliates nor Buyer or any of its Affiliates will be obligated to litigate any challenge to the treatment contemplated in this Section 6.4(k) by any Taxing Authority.

(l) Treatment of Payments. Any payments made to any Party pursuant to this Section 6.4 or Article 8 shall constitute an adjustment of the Purchase Price for Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by Buyer and Seller on their Tax Returns to the extent permitted by Law.

Section 6.5 Confidentiality.

(a) Prior to Closing, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any documentation provided to the Parties in connection herewith shall be treated as Confidential Information that is subject to the terms and provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement. The Parties agree that the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect following the Execution Date; provided, however, that if the Closing shall occur, then the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate as of the Closing and be of no further force and effect thereafter.

(b) From and after the Execution Date until the second anniversary of the Execution Date, each Seller shall maintain in confidence, shall cause its Affiliates to maintain in confidence and shall cause its and their respective Representatives to maintain in confidence, any written, oral or other information relating to the Companies, the Assets or their respective businesses, except that the requirements of this Section 6.5(b) shall not apply to the extent that (i) any such information is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by Seller or its Affiliates or any of Seller’s or Seller’s Affiliates’ respective Representatives in violation of this Agreement, (ii) any such information is requested or required by applicable Law or a Governmental Authority to be disclosed (including any report, statement, testimony or other submission to such Governmental Authority), (iii) any such information is requested or required to be disclosed in connection with any Proceeding or in any dispute, in each case, with respect to this Agreement (including in response to any summons, subpoena or other legal process or formal or informal investigative demand issued to the disclosing Party in the course of any Proceeding) or (iv) any such information is or has been obtained by Seller or its Affiliates or Seller’s or its Affiliates’ respective Representatives, in each case, from and after the Closing on a non-confidential basis and from a source (other than Seller, the Companies, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or their respective Representatives) that is not known to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information. If Seller or any of its Affiliates or any of Seller’s or Seller’s Affiliates’ respective Representatives becomes legally compelled by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar judicial or administrative process to disclose any information described in this Section 6.5(b), Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliate or the applicable Representative to, unless prohibited by Law, provide Buyer with prompt prior written notice of such requirement (including any report, statement, testimony or other submission to such Governmental Authority) and, to the extent reasonably practicable, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, to obtain a protective order or similar remedy to cause such information not to be disclosed; provided, however, that, in the event that such protective order or other similar remedy is not obtained, Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliate or the applicable Representative to, furnish only that portion of such information that has been legally compelled, and shall, or shall cause its Affiliate or the applicable Representative to, exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such disclosed information. Seller shall instruct its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives having access to any information described in this Section 6.5(b) of the obligation of confidentiality described in this Section 6.5(b) and shall be responsible for any breach of the terms of this Section 6.5(b) by any of its Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, without satisfying the other obligations of this Section 6.5, Seller may disclose Confidential Information to the extent disclosure is requested or required in connection with routine audits or examinations by, or blanket document requests from, a regulatory or governmental entity that does not specifically target the Companies.

(c) Without intending in any way to limit the remedies available to Buyer, Seller hereby acknowledges that the breach, or attempted or threatened breach, of the provisions of this Section 6.5 by it will result in immediate and irreparable harm to Buyer and that damages at law will not be an adequate remedy for Buyer, and further acknowledges and agrees that if such Seller breaches any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.5, Buyer may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to restrain the breach or the threatened breach of, or otherwise specifically to enforce, any of such covenants. Such injunctive relief shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies at law or in equity available to Buyer.

Section 6.6 Financial Statement Assistance. For so long as Buyer or its Affiliates are required under Regulation S-X of the Securities Act to separately include the financial statements of any Company in documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Buyer or its Affiliates pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (a) to cause Seller’s auditors, subject to Buyer’s compliance with any reasonable request of Seller’s auditors, to provide, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, such assistance as Buyer may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of the Financial Statements or to the inclusion or incorporation by reference of Seller’s auditor’s opinion with respect to the Financial Statements in documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Buyer or its Affiliates pursuant to the Securities Act or Exchange Act (including the delivery to Seller’s auditors of customary representation letters of Seller) and, in connection with any issuance of securities, to deliver customary auditors’ consents and “comfort letters” in connection therewith and (b) if requested by Buyer, to make available to Buyer such additional information with respect to the financial statements of the Companies in Seller’s possession and control for the periods ending prior to the Closing as reasonably required by Buyer in order to prepare or, if required, audit financial statements of the Companies meeting the requirements of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act from time to time (provided that Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Seller in connection with such cooperation); provided, however, that Seller shall not (i) be required to deliver any representation letter, certificate or other information with respect to any use of such financial statements by Buyer or its Affiliates subsequent to the Closing Date or (ii) be responsible for any misstatement or omission in any of Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ securities filings or in respect of any of Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ financings caused by or resulting from the use by Buyer or its Affiliates of such financial statements. Buyer will reimburse Seller, within ten Business Days after demand in writing therefor, for any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Seller and its Affiliates in complying with the provisions of this Section 6.6.

Section 6.7 Retention of Certain Amounts. Following Closing until the later of (a) December 31, 2016 and (b) the date that the last Claim for Indemnification then pending under this Agreement has been (1) paid in full or (2) fully and finally resolved by agreement of the Parties or by a final, non-appealable court order, Seller shall maintain, and shall not distribute to its members, an amount equal to the Holdback Amount, in a segregated account of Seller with the Deposit Bank that is free and clear of any Liens; provided, however, on or after (i) the later of (A) the Closing Date and (B) the resolution of any Inventory Claims, Seller may distribute the amount of the Holdback Amount in excess of $5,000,000 and (ii) December 31, 2016, if there is no pending Claim for Indemnification as of such date that asserts an unliquidated amount of damages (provided that Buyer has used its commercially reasonable efforts to include its reasonable estimate of liquidated damages with respect to any Claim for Indemnification), Seller may distribute the Holdback Amount in excess of the aggregate amount of liquidated damages asserted in any Claim for Indemnification validly raised by Buyer and pending as of such date.

Section 6.8 Release of Certain Amounts. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties agree that following the Closing, upon the release by the Deposit Bank of its Liens in account #4451122737 (the “Subject Seller Account”), all funds then held in such account shall be promptly but in any event within one Business Day of such release by the Deposit Bank transferred to Seller, which payment shall be deemed to be a distribution made by Refining Company to Seller, effective immediately prior to the Closing Date.

Section 6.9 Company Records. Within 15 days following the Closing Date, Seller shall make available to Buyer any of the Company Records that are not in the possession or control of the Companies on the Closing Date.

(a) If any third party shall notify any Party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third-Party Claim”) which may give rise to a Claim for Indemnification against any other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article 8, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation under this Agreement unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby.

(b) In the case of a Claim for Indemnification based upon a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days from its receipt of written notice of such claim to notify the Indemnified Party whether it admits or denies its liability to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third-Party Claim at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party is authorized, prior to and during such 30-day period, to file any motion, answer or other pleading, or take such other and further action, that the Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party and that is not prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party admits its liability, it shall have the right and obligation to diligently defend, at its sole cost and expense, the Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and Proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof unless (i) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Party of its financial capacity to defend such Third-Party Claim, (ii) the Third-Party Claim relates to a Material Customer or Material Supplier, (iii) the Third-Party Claim is with respect to a criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, or (iv) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that the Adverse Consequences relating to such Third-Party Claim would reasonably be expected to exceed the maximum amount that such Indemnified Party could then be entitled to recover under the provisions of this Article 8. If the compromise or settlement of any Third-Party Claim includes the payment of any amount by, the performance of any obligation by or the limitation of any right or benefit of, the Indemnified Party or the admission by the Indemnified Party of matters of fact or law, such settlement or compromise shall not be effective without the consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate in contesting any Third-Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest. The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third-Party Claim fully controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 8.4(c). An Indemnifying Party shall not, without

the written consent of the Indemnified Party, (A) settle any Third-Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect thereto which does not include an unconditional written release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim or (B) settle any Third-Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect thereto in any manner that may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party (other than as a result of money damages covered by the indemnity).

(d) If the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to fully control the defense of a Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 8.4(c), then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend against the Third-Party Claim at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (to the extent and only to the extent such costs and expenses are reasonable), with counsel of the Indemnified Party’s choosing, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to approve (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) such counsel and costs and expenses. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense against the Third-Party Claim pursuant to this Section 8.4(d), the Indemnified Party (i) shall send written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any proposed settlement and (ii) shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, settle any Third-Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect thereto without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(e) If the Indemnifying Party does not admit its liability or admits its liability but fails to diligently prosecute or settle the Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend against the Third-Party Claim at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, with counsel of the Indemnified Party’s choosing, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to admit its liability and assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim at any time prior to settlement or final determination thereof. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense against the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 8.4(e), the Indemnified Party shall send written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any proposed settlement and the Indemnifying Party shall have the option for 10 days following receipt of such notice to (i) admit in writing its liability for the Third-Party Claim and consent to such proposed settlement, (ii) admit in writing its liability for the Third-Party Claim and reject, in its reasonable judgment, the proposed settlement and take over (and diligently pursue) the defense and/or settlement of such Third-Party Claim or (iii) deny its liability for the Third-Party Claim, in which case the Indemnified Party may accept such proposed settlement and seek all remedies available to such Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party. Any failure by the Indemnifying Party to respond to such notice shall be deemed to be an election under subsection (iii) above.

Section 8.5 Matters Not Involving Third Party Claims. Buyer or Seller, may make a claim for any matter that does not involve a Third-Party Claim in any amount to which Buyer or Seller may be entitled under this Article 8 by providing a Claim for Indemnification against the other promptly after such Indemnified Party has notice of any Adverse Consequence which may give rise to a Claim for Indemnification; provided, however, that no delay on the part of Buyer or Seller in notifying the other shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days to object to the Claim for Indemnification by delivery of a written notice of such objection to the Indemnified Party specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such

objection. Failure to timely respond shall constitute a final and binding acceptance of the Claim for Indemnification by the Indemnifying Party, and the Claim for Indemnification shall be paid in accordance with Section 8.6. If an objection is timely interposed by the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall negotiate in good faith for a period of 20 Business Days from the date the Indemnified Party receives such objection prior to commencing any arbitration, formal legal action, suit or proceeding with respect to such Claim for Indemnification.

Section 8.6 Final Determination of a Claim. A “final determination” of a Claim for Indemnification shall be (i) a final judgment of any court determining the validity of a disputed claim that is non-appealable; (ii) an award of any arbitrator or arbitration panel determining the validity of such disputed claim, if there is not pending any motion to set aside such award or if the time within which to move to set such award aside has elapsed; (iii) a written termination of the dispute with respect to such claim signed by all of the parties thereto; (iv) a written acknowledgment of the Indemnifying Party that it no longer disputes the validity or amount of such claim; (v) the date on which an Indemnifying Party fails to respond to a Claim for Indemnification as specified in Section 8.5; or (vi) such other evidence of final determination of a disputed claim as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Parties.

Section 8.7 Determination of Adverse Consequences. All indemnification payments under this Article 8 shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party net of any insurance proceeds actually recovered by the Indemnified Party (net of reasonable out of pocket third party expenses incurred in obtaining such indemnification payments and premium adjustment attributable thereto). For the purposes of determining whether a breach or inaccuracy occurred and calculating any Adverse Consequences in connection therewith pursuant to Section 8.2(a), or Section 8.3(a), the representations and warranties in this Agreement shall be read without any materiality (including the word “material”), Material Adverse Effect or similar qualifiers.

Section 8.8 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, as the case may be.

Section 8.9 Exclusive Remedy. BUYER AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, FROM AND AFTER THE CLOSING, THE FOREGOING INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS IN THIS ARTICLE 8 SHALL BE THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF BUYER AND SELLER WITH RESPECT TO THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER AND BUYER SET FORTH IN ARTICLE 3 AND ARTICLE 4 AND THE CERTIFICATES DELIVERED AT CLOSING (OTHER THAN CLAIMS ARISING FROM FRAUD, CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT ON THE PART OF A PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS). EACH OF BUYER AND SELLER WAIVES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NEITHER IT, NOR ANY SUCCESSOR OR ASSIGN, SHALL HAVE ANY RIGHTS

(INCLUDING STATUTORY OR COMMON LAW RIGHTS AND CLAIMS ARISING UNDER ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS INCLUDING CERCLA) AGAINST THE OTHER PARTIES OR THEIR AFFILIATES WITH RESPECT TO THE TRANSACTIONS OTHER THAN AS IS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 8.9 SHALL LIMIT ANY PERSON’S RIGHT TO SEEK ANY REMEDY ON ACCOUNT OF ANY PARTY’S FRAUDULENT, CRIMINAL OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

Section 8.10 Limitation on Damages. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, REMOTE, SPECULATIVE, SPECIAL DAMAGES, OR LOSS OF PROFITS EXCEPT (A) TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH PARTY SUFFERS SUCH DAMAGES (INCLUDING COSTS OF DEFENSE AND REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEES INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH DEFENDING OF SUCH DAMAGES) TO A THIRD PARTY OR (B) ARISING FROM FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR CRIMINAL ACTIVITY, WHICH DAMAGES (INCLUDING COSTS OF DEFENSE AND REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEES INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH DEFENDING AGAINST SUCH DAMAGES) SHALL NOT BE EXCLUDED BY THIS PROVISION AS TO RECOVERY HEREUNDER.

Section 8.11 EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITIES SET FORTH IN SECTION 5.4 AND THIS ARTICLE 8 ARE INTENDED TO BE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST THE PARTIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXPRESS TERMS AND SCOPE THEREOF NOTWITHSTANDING ANY EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE RULE OR ANY SIMILAR DIRECTIVE THAT WOULD PROHIBIT OR OTHERWISE LIMIT INDEMNITEES BECAUSE OF THE SIMPLE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, CONCURRENT, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE) OR OTHER FAULT OR STRICT LIABILITY OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTIES. THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE INDEMNITIES SET FORTH HEREIN MAY RESULT IN THE INDEMNITY OF A PARTY FOR ITS SIMPLE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, CONCURRENT, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE) OR OTHER FAULT OR STRICT LIABILITY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY.

Section 9.2 Effect of Termination.

(a) If any Party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, written notice thereof shall be given to the other Parties, specifying the provision of this Agreement pursuant to which termination is made, and all rights and obligations of the applicable Parties under this Agreement shall terminate (other than the indemnification provisions of Section 5.4(c), this Section 9.2, the provisions of Article 11 (other than Section 11.1) and such portions of Article 1 as are necessary to give effect to the foregoing, all of which shall survive termination of this Agreement); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if such termination shall result from the willful and knowing (i) failure of either Party to fulfill a condition to the performance of the obligations of the other Party, (ii) failure to perform a covenant of this Agreement or (iii) breach by any Party hereto of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein, such Party shall be fully liable for any and all Adverse Consequences incurred or suffered by the other Party as a result of such failure or breach; provided, further, that if this Agreement is terminated under the circumstances described in Section 9.2(c), the sole remedy of Seller shall be as set forth in Section 9.2(c).

(b) If this Agreement is terminated by (i) the Parties pursuant to Section 9.1(a), (ii) Buyer pursuant to (A) Section 9.1(b)(i) as a result of a breach by Seller of Section 5.3(a)(i), (B) Section 9.1(b)(iii) or (C) Section 9.1(b)(iv), or (iii) any Party pursuant to Section 9.1(d), then Seller shall cause the Deposit Bank to promptly disburse the Deposit Amount to Buyer, free and clear of any claims thereon by Seller.

(c) If this Agreement may be terminated by Seller because of the failure of Buyer to close in the instance where, as of the Outside Closing Date, (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 (excluding conditions that, by their terms, cannot be satisfied until the Closing) have been satisfied (or waived, or deemed to have been waived, by Buyer), (ii) Seller is ready, willing and able to close, (iii) Buyer has secured the Equity Financing on or prior to the Outside Closing Date and (iv) Buyer nevertheless elects not to promptly close, then in either such event, the Parties agree and acknowledge that Seller would not have any adequate remedy at law and would suffer damages that are not practicable to ascertain, and Seller shall be entitled to, at its option, (A) specific performance against either Buyer or Parent, without any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy, or (B) terminate this Agreement and retain the Deposit Amount as liquidated damages. Seller agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, Seller’s right to either specific performance or the payment of such Deposit Amount as provided in this Section 9.2(c) shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Seller with respect to Buyer’s failure to close as contemplated by this Section 9.2(c).

(d) In the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason (other than as provided in Section 9.2(b) or Section 9.2(c)), then Seller shall be entitled to retain the Deposit Amount, free and clear of any claims thereon by Buyer as the sole and exclusive remedy (except as provided in Section 9.2(a)) of Seller or any of its respective Affiliates against Buyer or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective stockholders, partners, members or Representatives for any and all Adverse Consequences that may be suffered based upon, resulting from or arising out of the circumstances giving rise to such termination, and upon payment of the Deposit Amount to Seller in accordance with this Section 9.2, none of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective stockholders, partners, members or Representatives shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions except as provided in Section 9.2(a).

(e) Upon termination of this Agreement, Buyer shall destroy or return to Seller all data, assessments and/or reports, maps and other information furnished by or on behalf of Seller to Buyer or prepared by or on behalf of Buyer in connection with its due diligence investigation of the Units and Assets, in each case, in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement and, if Buyer elects to destroy any such information, an officer of Buyer shall certify the destruction of such information to Seller in writing.
