(viii) all other agreements, documents, instruments and certificates required to be delivered by the Seller Group at or prior to Closing pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 2.03 Purchase Price Adjustment. (a) Estimated Closing Adjustment.No more than seven Business Days and not less than three Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a written statement (the “Estimated Adjustment Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail (A) Seller’s good faith estimate of (1) Net Working Capital (“Estimated Net Working Capital”) calculated in the manner set forth on Schedule 2.03, accompanied by an estimated balance sheet of the Company as of the Measurement Time, and (2) Closing Date Cash (“Estimated Closing Date Cash”), and (B) Seller’s calculation of the Estimated Closing Adjustment and the Closing Date Payment. The Estimated Adjustment Statement shall include all supporting calculations and records. Seller shall provide Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the components of the Estimated Adjustment Statement after delivery of the Estimated Adjustment Statement and prior to the Closing. Seller shall provide, and shall cause the Company to provide, Purchaser and Purchaser’s independent accountant and financial advisor, at no expense to Purchaser, access to the working papers, accounting and other books and records of the Business and the appropriate personnel to the extent reasonably required to complete its review of the Estimated Adjustment Statement.

(b) Closing Statement. No later than 60 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Seller a written statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail (i) Purchaser’s calculation of (A) Net Working Capital, which shall be accompanied by a balance sheet of the Company as of the Measurement Time, and (B) Closing Date Cash and (ii) Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Adjustment.

(i) If Seller disagrees with the Closing Statement or Purchaser’s calculation of Net Working Capital, Closing Date Cash or the resulting Closing Adjustment delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(b), then Seller may, within 45 days after receipt by Seller of the Closing Statement and such calculations, deliver a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to Purchaser providing in reasonable detail the reason for any disagreement and Seller’s calculation (in accordance with the Stated Accounting Principles in the case of Net Working Capital and Closing Date Cash) of such disputed items or amounts. Except as set forth in any Dispute Notice delivered in accordance with this Section 2.03(c), Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement and the calculation of Net Working Capital, Closing Date Cash, and the resulting Closing Adjustment delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(b). Seller may deliver a Dispute Notice disagreeing with any individual item or amount contained in such calculations.

(ii) In connection with the preparation of the Closing Statement pursuant to Section 2.03(b) and during the period of any dispute within the contemplation of this Section 2.03(c), from the Closing Date through the resolution of any adjustment to the Closing Date Payment contemplated by this Section 2.03, Purchaser and Seller shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to provide the other party and the other party’s investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants or other advisors, agents or representatives (collectively, the “Representatives”) with reasonable access to the personnel, properties, books and records reasonably requested by the other party for any purpose relating to any adjustment contemplated by this Section 2.03 and otherwise cooperate in good faith with the other party and its Representatives, in each case, subject to customary confidentiality and indemnity agreements, including by providing reasonable access on a timely basis to all information reasonably requested by the other party as it relates to the determination of the Estimated Adjustment Statement or Closing Statement and the calculation of the components thereof (including Net Working Capital, Closing Date Cash and the Closing Adjustment).

(iii) If a Dispute Notice is delivered in accordance with this Section 2.03(c), then Seller and Purchaser shall, during the 30 days following such delivery, seek in good faith to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to resolve the applicable dispute and finally determine Net Working Capital, Closing Date Cash and the Closing Adjustment, as applicable. At the end of such period, if Seller and Purchaser are unable to reach such agreement with respect to any dispute set forth in the Dispute Notice, they shall promptly thereafter submit to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or if such firm is unable or unwilling to act, such nationally recognized independent public accounting firm as shall be agreed upon in writing by Seller and Purchaser (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (the “Accounting Firm”) for review the relevant portions of this Agreement, the Closing Statement and the disputed items or amounts set forth in the Dispute Notice that remain in dispute for the purpose of calculating Net Working Capital, Closing Date Cash and the Closing Adjustment, as applicable. Each party shall provide a copy of any written materials submitted to the Accounting Firm to the other party. In making such calculation, the Accounting Firm shall consider only those items or amounts in the Closing Statement and Purchaser’s calculation of Net Working Capital, Closing Date Cash and the Closing Adjustment, as applicable, that the parties indicate as remaining in dispute. The Accounting Firm shall deliver to Seller and Purchaser, as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than 30 days) after the date of engagement of the Accounting Firm, a written report setting forth its decision resolving the matters in dispute; provided, however, that the Accounting Firm shall resolve the unresolved disputes by adopting a position that is either equal to Purchaser’s position as set forth in or accompanying the Closing Statement, Seller’s position as set forth in any Dispute Notice delivered in accordance with this Section 2.03(c) or between such respective positions proposed by Purchaser and Seller. Such report shall be set forth in a written statement and be final and binding upon, and non-appealable (except as provided in Section 2.03(c)(v)) by, Seller and Purchaser, and each party shall bear its own expenses and the fees and expenses of its own Representatives, including its independent accountants, in connection with the review, dispute (if any) and final determination of the Closing Statement and the components thereof. The costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated to and borne by Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, based on the inverse of the percentage that the Accounting Firm’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the items in dispute as originally submitted to the Accounting Firm. For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to $1,000 and the Accounting Firm award $600 in favor of Seller’s position, then 60% of the costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm would be allocated to and borne by Purchaser and 40% of such costs and expenses would be allocated to and borne by Seller.

(iv) The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Accounting Firm shall be limited to (A) whether the Closing Statement was prepared in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the Stated Accounting Principles, as applicable, with respect to the matters that were submitted for resolution to the Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(iii) and (B) whether there were mathematical errors in the Closing Statement. The Accounting Firm is not authorized to, and shall not, make any other determination, including (A) any determination with respect to any matter included in the Closing Statement or in any Dispute Notice that was not submitted for resolution to the Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(iii), (B) any determination as to the accuracy of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or (C) any determination as to compliance by Purchaser or Seller with any of its covenants in this Agreement.

(v) The dispute resolution by the Accounting Firm under this Section 2.03(c) shall constitute an expert determination under New York CPLR Article 76 and shall not constitute an arbitration. The determinations of the Accounting Firm as to any issue of fact shall be final and binding, absent fraud, bad faith or manifest error. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in New York State Supreme Court or any other court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced.

(d) The calculation of the Closing Adjustment (as adjusted, if a proper Dispute Notice is received in accordance with Section 2.03(c), by written agreement of Purchaser and Seller and/or the written determination of the Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 2.03(c)) is referred to in this Agreement as the “Final Closing Adjustment”.

(e) Final Settlement and Adjustment to Purchase Price; Payment.

(i) If the Estimated Closing Adjustment is greater than the Final Closing Adjustment (such excess, the “Final Purchase Price Recoupment Amount”), then within five Business Days after the Final Closing Adjustment is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.03, Seller shall pay an amount equal to the Final Purchase Price Recoupment Amount to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in writing by Purchaser at least two Business Days prior to the date of the required payment.

(ii) If the Final Closing Adjustment is greater than the Estimated Closing Adjustment (such excess, the “Purchaser Adjustment Payment”), then within five Business Days after the Final Closing Adjustment is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.03, Purchaser shall pay an amount equal to the Purchaser Adjustment Payment to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in writing by Seller at least two Business Days prior to the date of the required payment.

(iii) Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.03(e) shall be treated as an adjustment to the purchase price for all Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(f) Property Tax Refunds and Credits. To the extent that Property Tax refunds or credits with respect to the Owned Real Property relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date are received, or allowed or applied, after the date hereof, Seller hereby assigns to Purchaser any and all rights of Seller to such Tax credits or refunds. To the extent such amounts are paid to Seller, Seller shall remit such amounts to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in writing by Purchaser.

SECTION 2.04 Withholding Rights for Taxes. Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment made hereunder such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or under any provision of Federal, state, local or foreign Law relating to Taxes. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which Purchaser made such deduction or withholding. Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cooperate in good faith to minimize any withholding that may apply to any payments described in this Section 2.04.

SECTION 2.05 Insurance Policy Expenses. No more than seven Business Days and not less than three Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement setting forth the premiums payable by Purchaser for (i) the Representation and Warranty Policy and (ii) the Environmental Policy, as well as Purchaser’s calculation of the Insurance Policy Expenses.

SECTION 2.06 Purchase Price Remainder. (a) On or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date (or if such date is not a Business Day, on the next Business Day thereafter), Purchaser shall pay to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in writing by Seller at least two (2) Business Days prior to such date, an amount equal to the Remainder Payment.

(b) If Purchaser fails to pay Seller any portion of the Remainder Payment by the first anniversary of the Closing Date, simple interest shall thereafter accrue on the unpaid portion of the Remainder Payment until the date of payment at the per annum rate of 675 basis points over prevailing three-month LIBOR. Additionally, Purchaser shall pay all fees and expenses incurred by Seller in collecting the unpaid portion of the Remainder Payment and accrued interest.

SECTION 2.07 No Indebtedness. On the Closing Date, Seller agrees to deliver the Company with no Indebtedness, and shall provide to Purchaser reasonably satisfactory evidence of (a) the termination of the Line of Credit Facility Agreement, dated December 2, 2014, among Axeon Refining LLC, as Borrower, Axeon Specialty Products LLC, and LG Asphalt L.P., as Lender (as amended or supplemented from time to time), and the release of all liens in connection therewith and (b) any other Indebtednesses outstanding after the date hereof (such evidence, the “Payoff Letters”).

SECTION 2.08 Additional Consideration. (a) General. As additional consideration for the acquisition of the Membership Interests, Company, Purchaser shall pay to Seller amounts calculated in accordance with this Section 2.08.

(b) Earn-Out Statement.

(i) Within 60 days following the end of each Contract Year, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (each, an “Earn-Out Statement”) setting forth Purchaser’s determination of Earn-Out Consideration, including the Total Processing Revenue, Net Energy Cost, Other Variable Costs, Fixed Costs and the components thereof, for such Contract Year.

(ii) Upon receipt of an Earn-Out Statement, Seller may accept such Earn-Out Statement or initiate a review of such Earn-Out Statement and shall provide written notice of its decision to Purchaser no later than ten Business Days following receipt of such Earn-Out Statement. If Seller does not provide such written notice to Purchaser within such ten-Business Day period, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted such Earn-Out Statement. If Seller accepts such Earn-Out Statement (or is deemed to have accepted Earn-Out Statement), Purchaser shall pay Seller the Earn-Out Consideration shown as due on such Earn-Out Statement within five Business Days of the acceptance (or deemed acceptance) thereof by Seller in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller.

(i) If Seller delivers written notice pursuant to Section 2.08(b)(ii) of its intent to initiate a review of such Earn-Out Statement, during the 60-day period following Purchaser’s receipt of such notice Purchaser shall provide reasonable access during normal business hours to and otherwise make available to Seller and its advisors, to the extent within the control of Purchaser, its independent auditors, the relevant personnel and relevant books and records of the Business and other documents that may be reasonably requested by Seller and its advisors to determine whether the calculation of any Earn-Out Consideration in any Earn-Out Statement that is the subject of the review was made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) Prior to the expiration of such 60-day period, Seller may challenge any Earn-Out Statement that is the subject of the review by written notice to Purchaser (an “Earn-Out Dispute Notice”). If Seller fails to deliver an Earn-Out Dispute Notice prior to the expiration of such 60-day period, the Earn-Out Statement subject to review shall be deemed final, and Purchaser shall pay Seller the Earn-Out Consideration shown as due on such Earn-Out Statement within five Business Days after the expiration of such 60-day period in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller.

(iii) Any Earn-Out Dispute Notice shall (A) specify in reasonable detail the reason for any disagreement so asserted and (B) only include disagreements based on mathematical errors or based on Earn-Out Consideration not being calculated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. During the 45-day period following the delivery of an Earn-Out Dispute Notice, Seller and Purchaser shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing the disputed items or amounts specified in the Earn-Out Dispute Notice. During such period, Purchaser and its auditors shall have access to the work papers, schedules and calculations of Seller and Seller’s advisors, if any, subject to execution by Purchaser (and such other parties as Seller’s advisors may require) of any documentation as Seller’s advisors may require. If Purchaser and Seller are able to resolve their disagreements during the 45-day period, the parties shall accordingly set the terms of any payment required pursuant to this Section 2.08 (if any), and Purchaser shall pay Seller the Earn-Out Consideration agreed to by the parties within five Business Days after the resolution of their disagreements in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller.

(iv) At the end of such 45-day period, if Seller and Purchaser are unable to reach such agreement with respect to any dispute set forth in the Earn-Out Dispute Notice, they shall promptly thereafter submit to the Accounting Firm for review the relevant portions of this Agreement, the relevant Earn-Out Statement and the disputed items or amounts set forth in the Earn-Out Dispute Notice that remain in dispute and which were properly included in the Earn-Out Dispute Notice, in the form of a written brief. Each party shall provide a copy of any written materials submitted to the Accounting Firm to the other party. In making such calculation, the Accounting Firm shall consider only those items or amounts from the Earn-Out Dispute Notice that the parties indicate as remaining in dispute. The Accounting Firm shall deliver to Seller and Purchaser, as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than 30 days) after the date of engagement of the Accounting Firm, a written report setting forth its decision resolving the matters in dispute; provided, however, that the Accounting Firm shall resolve such unresolved disputes by adopting a position that is either equal to Purchaser’s position as set forth in its brief, Seller’s position as set forth in its brief or between such respective positions proposed by Purchaser and Seller. Such report shall be final and binding upon, and non-appealable by, Seller and Purchaser, and each party shall bear its own expenses and the fees and expenses of its own Representatives, including its independent accountants, in connection with the review, dispute (if any) and final determination of any Earn-Out Statement at issue and the components thereof. The costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated to and borne by Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, based on the inverse of the percentage that the Accounting Firm’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the items in dispute as originally submitted to the Accounting Firm. For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to $1,000 and the Accounting Firm award $600 in favor of Seller’s position, then 60% of the costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm would be allocated to and borne by Purchaser and 40% of such costs and expenses would be allocated to and borne by Seller.

(v) The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Accounting Firm shall be limited to (A) whether a challenged Earn-Out Statement was prepared in accordance with the terms of this Agreement with respect to the matters that were submitted for resolution to the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.08(c) and (B) whether there were mathematical errors in such Earn-Out Statement. The Accounting Firm is not authorized to, and shall not, make any other determination, including (A) any determination with respect to any matter included in any Earn-Out Statement or in any Earn-Out Dispute Notice that was not properly submitted for resolution to the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.08(c) or (B) any determination as to compliance by Purchaser or Seller with any of its covenants in this Agreement.

(vi) The dispute resolution by the Accounting Firm under this Section 2.08 shall constitute an expert determination under New York CPLR Article 76 and shall not constitute an arbitration. The determinations of the Accounting Firm as to any issue of fact shall be final and binding, absent fraud, bad faith or manifest error. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in New York State Supreme Court or any other court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced.

(vii) Purchaser shall pay the amount of the Earn-Out Payment as determined by the Accounting Firm to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in writing by Seller within five Business Days of the date the disputed matters are finally resolved by the Accounting Firm.

(viii) If the amount of the Earn-Out Payment paid by Purchaser under Section 2.08(c)(iii) or 2.08(c)(vii) is greater than the amount of the Earn-Out Payment set forth on the Earn-Out Statement delivered by Purchaser under Section 2.08(b)(i), the amount of such difference shall bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum from the date of such Earn-Out Statement to the date of payment.

(d) Buy Out Option. If, on or before the termination of the Earn-Out Period, (i) the term of the Processing Agreement is extended beyond the Earn-Out Period or (ii) the Company enters into any successor or replacement agreement with Customer A or any third party that extends beyond the Earn-Out Period, Purchaser shall (A) immediately notify Seller in writing and (B) upon termination of the Earn-Out Period pay to Seller $5 million in cash.

(e) Post-Closing Activity. During the period from the Closing to the termination of the Earn-Out Period, as long as Seller has not failed to make timely payments in accordance with this Section 2.08, without the consent of Seller, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the Company not to, take any action or refrain from taking any action, in either case, with the specific intent of reducing the Earn-Out Consideration. In addition, as long as Seller has not failed to make timely payments in accordance with this Section 2.08, during the period from the Closing to the termination of the Earn-Out Period, without the consent of Seller, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the Company not to: (i) amend or waive any provision under the Processing Agreement if the specific intent of such amendment or waiver is to (A) defer the recognition of a material amount of revenue under the Processing Agreement from the Earn-Out Period to a later period except as required by Law or (B) accelerate the incurrence of a material amount of discretionary capital costs into the Earn-Out Period from a later period; (ii) reduce or defer recognition of any material amount of revenue with the specific intent to reduce the amount of Earn-Out Consideration for a particular period, except as required by Law or GAAP; (iii) enter into any agreement, arrangement

or other transaction, the specific intent of which is to reduce the aggregate amount of Earn-Out Consideration; or (iv) amend or waive any provision of the Processing Agreement, or exercise any right under the Processing Agreement, to materially reduce the volumes processed under the Processing Agreement during the Earn-Out Period with the specific intent of recovering or recouping the revenue foregone after the expiration of the Earn-Out Period; provided, however, that (x) subject to the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or prohibit Purchaser or the Company from exercising reasonable business judgment in the conduct of the operations of the Company, including with respect to the timing of capital expenditures or the exercise by the Company of any termination right under the Processing Agreement, and (y) the foregoing shall not require Purchaser or the Company to make any capital investments.

(f) One Time Costs.

(i) Seller shall keep a record of all One-Time Costs paid by the Company prior to the Measurement Time (the “Seller One-Time Costs”) and shall present Purchaser with a statement that sets forth all of such Seller One-Time Costs (the “Seller One-Time Cost Statement”) no later than 10 days following Closing.

(ii) Purchaser shall keep a record of all One-Time Costs incurred by the Company on or after the Closing Date and prior to commencement of the Earn-Out Period (the “Purchaser One-Time Costs”). No later than 30 days following the end of each fiscal quarter, beginning with the first complete quarter following the Closing and concluding with the first complete fiscal quarter following the fiscal quarter during which the Earn-Out Period terminates, Purchaser shall present Seller with a statement that sets forth all of the Purchaser One-Time Costs paid by Purchaser during such quarter (or, in the case the first complete quarter following the Closing, during the period from and including the Closing Date through the end of such quarter) (each, a “Purchaser One-Time Cost Statement”). Purchaser shall cause the Company to pay all of such Purchaser One-Time Costs until the aggregate amount of Purchaser One-Time Costs paid is equal to the aggregate amount of Seller One-Time Costs. Thereafter, Purchaser shall continue to cause the Company to pay any additional Purchaser One-Time Costs in excess of the aggregate amount of Seller One-Time Costs (such excess Purchaser One-Time Costs, the “Excess Purchaser One-Time Costs”); provided that within five Business Days following presentation of each Purchaser One-Time Costs Statement, Seller will pay to the Company an amount equal to one-half of the amount of the Excess Purchaser One-Time Costs paid by the Company during the period covered by such Purchaser One-Time Cost Statement, which amount shall be set forth therein, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in writing by Purchaser.

(iii) Within 30 days following the presentation by Purchaser of the One-Time Cost Statement that covers One-Time Costs paid by the Company in the first complete fiscal quarter following the fiscal quarter during which the Earn-Out Period terminates, Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, may submit written notice to the other party of its disagreement with the categorization and calculation of One-Time Costs (a “One-Time Cost Dispute Notice”) in any of (or all) the One-Time Cost Statements. The One-Time Cost Dispute Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the reason for any disagreement so asserted and (ii) only include disagreements based on mathematical errors or based on the One-Time Costs not being calculated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. During the 20-day period following the delivery of a One-Time Cost Dispute Notice, Seller and Purchaser shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing the disputed items or

amounts specified in the One-Time Cost Dispute Notice. During such period, the disputing party and its auditors shall have access to the work papers, schedules and calculations of the other party and its auditors, if any, subject to execution by the disputing party (and such other persons as the other party’s auditors may require) of any documentation as such other party’s auditors may require.

(v) If a dispute regarding a One-Time Cost Statement is resolved by the parties pursuant to Section 2.08(f)(iii) or by the Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 2.08(f)(iv), (i) such One-Time Cost Statement, shall be deemed to be amended, as necessary, to reflect any change to the amount of One-Time Costs set forth therein and (ii) if as a result of all such deemed amendments, taken as a whole, (A) Seller has overpaid Purchaser under Section 2.08(f)(ii), then Purchaser shall promptly repay the amount of the overpayment to Seller or (B) Seller has underpaid Purchaser under Section 2.08(f)(ii), Seller shall promptly pay the amount of the underpayment to Purchaser.

(g) Shut-Down Costs.

(i) This Section 2.08(g) shall apply following termination of the Processing Agreement. The date on which such termination occurs is referred to as the “XXX Date”.

(ii) Purchaser shall keep a record of all Shut-Down Costs incurred by the Company after the XXX Date (the “Shut-Down Cost Statement”). Purchaser shall present Seller the Shut-Down Cost Statement no later than six months after the XXX Date. If Seller does not challenge the Shut-Down Cost Statement, then Seller shall promptly pay Purchaser 50% of the Shut-Down Costs by wire transfer to the bank account designated in writing by Purchaser.

(iii) Upon receipt of the Shut-Down Cost Statement, Seller may submit written notice of its disagreement with the categorization and calculation of Shut-Down Costs (a “Shut-Down Cost Dispute Notice”) to Purchaser. The Shut-Down Cost Dispute Notice shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the reason for any disagreement so asserted and (ii) only include disagreements based on mathematical errors or based on the Shut-Down Costs not being calculated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. During the 20-day period following the delivery of a Shut-Down Cost Dispute Notice, Seller and Purchaser shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing the disputed items or amounts specified in the Shut-Down Cost Dispute Notice. During such period, Seller and its auditors shall have access to the work papers, schedules and calculations of Purchaser and Purchaser’s auditors, if any, subject to execution by Seller (and such other parties as Purchaser’s auditors may require) of any documentation as Purchaser’s auditors may require. If Purchaser and Seller are able to resolve their disagreements during the 20-day period, then Seller shall promptly pay Purchaser 50% of the agreed-upon amount (if any) by wire transfer to the bank account designated in writing by Purchaser.

(iv) At the end of such 20-day period, if Seller and Purchaser are not able to settle their disagreement, then the parties shall follow the settlement and dispute resolution procedures outlined in Sections 2.08(c)(iv), 2.08(c)(v) and 2.08(c)(vi), with all references to “Earn-Out Statement” replaced with references to the “Shut-Down Cost Statement”, and the 30-day period for the Accounting Firm to reach its decision replaced with a 20-day period. Seller shall promptly pay Purchaser 50% of the revised Shut-Down Cost Statement amount by wire transfer to the bank account designated in writing by Purchaser (adding or subtracting any fees required to be paid, according to the Accounting Firm’s ruling, as described in Section 2.08(c)(iv)).

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.08(g), if, on or before the termination of the Earn-Out Period, either (i) the term of the Processing Agreement is extended beyond the Earn-Out Period or (ii) the Company enters into any successor or replacement agreement with Customer A or any third party that extends beyond the Earn-Out Period, Seller shall not be required to pay any Shut-Down Costs and the provisions of this Section 2.08(g) shall not apply.

(h) Termination Fees. All termination fees received by Purchaser pursuant to the Processing Agreement shall be shared equally between Purchaser and Seller. Purchaser shall promptly pay to Seller 50% of any termination fee received pursuant to the Processing Agreement by wire transfer to the bank account designated in writing by Seller. If, at the time Purchaser receives any termination fees pursuant to the Processing Agreement, Seller owes any amount to Purchaser under Section 2.08(f)(v) or 2.08(g)(iv), Purchaser may withhold such amount from any payment under this Section 2.08(h) in partial or full satisfaction of Seller’s obligations under Section 2.08(f)(v) or 2.08(g)(iv), as applicable.

(i) Processing Agreement. Purchaser acknowledges that (A) Seller and the Company are in discussions with a third party known to Purchaser and Seller (“Customer A”) with respect to a potential contract between the Company and Customer A for the Company to process crude oil for Customer A using Crude Unit #1 and the other related assets and equipment at the Owned Real Property and (B) in connection therewith Seller and the Company may take action following execution of the Processing Agreement in preparation for commencement of performance under the Processing Agreement, including incurrence of One-Time Costs. Seller agrees that it shall not cause the Company to enter into any such contract without Purchaser’s written consent.

(j) No Set-Off. The parties acknowledge that this Section 2.08 contemplates various payments between the parties. Except as specifically set forth in Section 2.08(h), no party shall (and Purchaser shall cause the Company not to) set off against any amount otherwise due under this Section 2.08 any amount due or claimed as due under this Section 2.08 or any other provision of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.09 Cobalt Lease. Except as provided in this Section 2.09, Seller shall pay Purchaser the Cobalt Lease Payment as part of the Closing Date Payment and following the Closing, Purchaser shall cause the Company to perform all of the Company’s obligations, as tenant, under the Cobalt Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Closing Date, the Company, as assignor, assigns the Cobalt Lease to a Related Entity (including Seller), as such term is defined in the Cobalt Lease, as assignee, then the Cobalt Lease Payment shall be removed from the calculation of the Closing Date Payment and Purchaser shall be relieved of its obligations under this Section 2.09.

SECTION 7.02 Efforts to Close; Regulatory Filings; Notification.

(a) (1) Each of Purchaser and Seller shall use its respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Transactions. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.02(a), Section 7.02(b) or 7.02(c), (A) Purchaser shall not be required to sell, divest, dispose of, or hold separate any assets, properties or businesses (or propose, offer or commit to any of the foregoing) or change or modify any course of conduct regarding future operations of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (excluding, for purposes of this clause (A), the refining operations of the Company) to resolve any objections to the Transactions under the anti-trust laws, (B) Seller, the Company and Purchaser shall not be required to (x) sell, divest, dispose of, or hold separate any assets, properties or businesses (or propose, offer or commit to any of the foregoing) or change or modify any course of conduct regarding future operations of the Company to resolve any objections to the Transactions under the anti-trust laws if such sale, divestiture, disposal, holding separate, change or modification would constitute a material change to the conduct of the Business as currently conducted or (y) breach any material Contract to which the Company is a party and (C) Seller and the Company shall not have any obligation to take any action that would bind Seller or the Company prior to the Closing.

(2) Without limiting the foregoing Section 7.02(a)(1), (A) Seller shall cause the Company, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, to comply with all requirements of ISRA prior to the Closing that are necessary to consummate the Transactions, including any requirement to (x) submit or obtain, prior to the Closing Date, to or from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“NJDEP”) a General Information Notice (“GIN”) and either (i) an executed Remediation Certification or a Remedial Action Workplan certified by the Licensed Site Remediation Professional (“LSRP”) or (ii) an approved Remediation in Progress Waiver, in each case identifying the Company as the party responsible for any environmental investigation, remediation, monitoring or other responsive or corrective action required to comply with ISRA, including, replacing, as needed, any financial guarantees of the Company, with the cooperation of Purchaser, or making other submissions required by the NJDEP (as each term is defined in ISRA) and (B) the Company, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, shall be responsible, before and after the Closing Date, for conducting and completing any environmental investigation, remediation, monitoring or other responsive or corrective action required to comply with ISRA or any requirement of the NJDEP, including making any related filings, notices, submissions or guarantees; provided that, prior to completing any notice, certification, workplan or other submission contemplated by clause (A) above, the Company and Seller shall provide Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity to comment on a draft of such notice, certification, workplan or other submission.

(b) Each of Purchaser and Seller shall, as promptly as practicable but in any event not more than 10 Business Days after the date hereof, file, or cause to be filed, all required Notification and Report Forms under the HSR Act (“HSR Filings”) with the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (the “Antitrust Division”) in connection with the Transactions. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall use its respective reasonable best efforts to, (i) respond as promptly as practicable to (x) all inquiries received from the FTC or the Antitrust Division in respect of the filings referred to in the immediately preceding sentence and (y) any request for information or documentary materials following such filings (a “Second Request”) and (ii) cause the waiting period under the HSR Act to terminate or expire at the earliest possible date. Purchaser and Seller will furnish to the other such information and assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with preparation of the HSR Filings. Purchaser and Seller shall each be responsible for 50% of the filing fees associated with the filing of the HSR Act notification and report form.

(c) Purchaser and Seller shall each keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to the filings, notices and requests contemplated or required by this Section 7.02. In that regard, prior to the Closing, each of Seller and Purchaser shall promptly consult with the other with respect to, provide any necessary information with respect to (and, in the case of correspondence, provide the other (or its

counsel) copies of), all filings, notices, requests for approval or consent made by it with any Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 7.02 or any other information supplied by it to, or correspondence with, a Governmental Authority in connection with its obligations described above in this Section 7.02. In respect of any such filings, notices or requests, each of Seller and Purchaser shall promptly inform the other, or if in writing, furnish the other with copies, or, in the case of material oral communications, advise the other orally, of any communication from any Governmental Authority regarding any of such filings, notices or requests, and permit the other to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with, any proposed written (or any material proposed oral) communication with any such Governmental Authority in respect of any such filing, notice or request. Except when communicating with a Governmental Authority in response to a telephone call from such Governmental Authority, neither Seller nor Purchaser shall participate in any meeting or communication with any Governmental Authority in connection with any such filing, notice or request (or make oral submissions at meetings or in telephone or other conversations in respect thereto) unless it consults with the other in advance and to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority gives the other the opportunity to attend and participate thereat. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall furnish the other with copies of all correspondence, filings and communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between it and any such Governmental Authority with respect to such filings, notices and requests, and furnish the other with such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of such filings, notices or requests.

(d) During the period from the date of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Closing, except as required by this Agreement, Purchaser and its Affiliates will not, without the prior written consent of Seller, engage in any action or enter into any transaction or permit any action to be taken or transaction to be entered into, that impairs or delays or would be reasonably likely to impair or delay Purchaser’s ability to consummate the Transactions or perform its obligations hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly acquire (whether via merger, consolidation, stock or asset purchase or otherwise), or agree to so acquire, any amounts of assets of or any equity in any other person or any business or division thereof, unless that acquisition or agreement would not reasonably be likely to (i) increase the risk of not obtaining any authorizations, consents, orders, declarations or approvals of any Governmental Authority described above in this Section 7.02 or the expiration or termination of any waiting period in connection with any requisite approval of any Governmental Authority; or (ii) increase the risk of any Governmental Authority entering an order that enjoins, prohibits, prevents or restricts the ability of the parties to obtain any authorization, approval, consent or waiver contemplated by this Section 7.02, or increase the risk of not being able to remove any such order on appeal or otherwise.

(e) Seller shall give prompt notice to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall give prompt notice to Seller, of (i) the breach or failure to be true and correct of any representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to be true and correct would give rise to the failure of a condition in Section 8.02(a) or 8.03(a), as applicable, or (ii) the failure by it to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, which failure would give rise to the failure of a condition in Section 8.02(b) or 8.03(b).

(f) Upon the knowledge of Seller or the Company of (i) any pending Action or Action threatened in writing not disclosed in the Seller Disclosure Letter or (ii) a material event or development in any Action or matter disclosed in the Seller Disclosure Letter, including with respect to the matters addressed in Section 7.11 thereof, Seller shall promptly (and in any event within two Business Days and no later than immediately prior to the Closing) provide written notice to Purchaser of such Action or matter and the material details relating thereto and update the Seller Disclosure Letter. Any pending Action disclosed under this Section 7.02(f) shall constitute a Retained Liability.

SECTION 7.03 Public Announcements. Any public announcement or similar publicity with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions will be issued, if at all, at such time and in such manner as mutually agreed to by Purchaser and Seller; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit any party from making, issuing or releasing any announcements, statements, or acknowledgments that such party is required to make, issue or release by applicable Law or by any listing agreement with or listing rules of a securities exchange or trading market or inter-dealer quotation system (provided that such party has used reasonable efforts to give the other party prior notice thereof and an opportunity to review such disclosure). Except as otherwise agreed to by Purchaser and Seller or required by Law or this Agreement, prior to the Closing, each party will, and will cause its Representatives to, keep this Agreement, its terms and any information about the Transactions strictly confidential and shall not make any disclosure of this Agreement to any other person. Purchaser and Seller will consult with each other concerning the means by which the Company and employees, customers, and suppliers and others having dealings with the Company will be informed of the Membership Interest Purchase. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall in any way prohibit or limit Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx or its respective Affiliates from disclosing the terms of this Agreement or Xxxxxxxx Lindsay’s or any of its respective Affiliates’ investment in the Company in connection with Xxxxxxxx Lindsay’s or its respective Affiliates’ reporting (including reporting to their respective shareholders, limited partners, partners or members), marketing or fundraising activities or obligations.

SECTION 7.04 Employee Matters.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall transfer, or shall cause the transfer of, the employment of each individual listed in Section 7.04(a) of the Seller Disclosure Letter (which schedule shall be updated prior to the Closing as necessary to reflect any terminations or resignations or as may be otherwise mutually agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser) (each such employee, an “Excluded Employee”) to Seller or one of its Affiliates (other than the Company). For the period commencing after the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2018 (or the period required by applicable Law, if longer) (such period, the “Continuation Period”), Purchaser either shall, with respect to each employee of the Company immediately prior to the Closing who is not an Excluded Employee (each, a “Continuing Employee”) whose terms and conditions of employment are not governed by a CBA (each such Continuing Employee, a “Non-Union Continuing Employee”), (1) assume and maintain, or cause its subsidiaries (including the Company) to assume and maintain, for the benefit of each Non-Union Continuing Employee, the Benefit Plans and the Benefit Agreements at the compensation and benefit levels in effect immediately prior to the Closing or (2) provide or cause its subsidiaries (including the Company) to provide (A) a base salary or wage rate, as applicable, to each Non-Union Continuing Employee that is no less favorable than that provided by Purchaser to its similarly situated employees, (B) incentive opportunities, including bonuses (excluding value attributable to equity-based compensation) to each Non-Union Continuing Employee that are substantially comparable to incentive opportunities provided by Purchaser to its similarly situated employees and (C) benefits to each Non-Union Continuing Employee that, in the aggregate, are substantially comparable to the benefits provided by Purchaser to its similarly situated employees. Purchaser shall provide or cause its subsidiaries (including the Company) to provide each Non-Union Continuing Employee whose employment is terminated during the Continuation Period other than for cause with severance payments and benefits that are no less favorable than the more favorable of (x) those provided to such Non-Union Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing and (y) those provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser and its subsidiaries (excluding, after the Closing, the Company) under severance plans, agreements or arrangements in effect at the time of such termination of employment.

(b) With respect to any “employee benefit plan”, as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, maintained by Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries (including the Company) (including any vacation, paid time-off and severance plans), for all purposes, including determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits and vesting (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan), each Continuing Employee’s service with the Company (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company, to the extent service with such predecessor employer is recognized by the Company) shall be treated as service with Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries (including the Company); provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits.

(c) Purchaser shall waive, or Purchaser shall cause its subsidiaries (including the Company) to waive or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any welfare benefit plan maintained by Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries in which Continuing Employees (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Closing, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would not have been satisfied or waived under the comparable Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing. Purchaser shall, or shall cause its subsidiaries (including the Company) to, recognize, or cause to be recognized, the dollar amount of all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses incurred by each Continuing Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the calendar year in which the Closing occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment limitations under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which such Continuing Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Closing.

(d) [Intentionally Deleted].

(e) Seller will promptly notify Purchaser if Seller or the Company receives written notice from any employee of the Company listed on Section 7.04(e) of the Seller Disclosure Letter of his or her resignation from employment with the Company.

(f) Seller shall provide an accurate and complete list upon the Closing of all employees of the Company (other than any Excluded Employee) whose employment terminated within the ninety (90) days prior to the Closing Date, stating for each such employee the date of termination, the employee’s position and work location, and whether such termination was voluntary or involuntary, and if involuntary, whether or not for cause.

(g) In the case of each Excluded Employee, the Company shall be responsible for paying the payroll amount due to such individual for the payroll period (or portion thereof) ending on the date of the Excluded Employee’s transfer to Seller or one of its Affiliates (other than the Company) (the “Transfer Date”), unless otherwise agreed to by Seller and Purchaser. Pursuant to the “Standard Procedure” provided in section 4 of Revenue Procedure 2004-53, 2004-2 C.B. 320, (i) Seller (or its applicable Affiliate (other than the Company)) and the Company shall report on a predecessor/successor basis as set forth therein, (ii) the Company will not be relieved from filing a Form W-2 with respect to any Excluded Employee, and (iii) Seller (or its applicable Affiliate (other than the Company)) will undertake to file (or cause to be filed) a Form W-2 for each such Excluded Employee with respect to the partial year following the Transfer Date.

(h) Nothing contained in this Section 7.04 or any other provision of this Agreement shall be construed to (i) create (x) any third-party beneficiary rights in any employee or former employee (including any dependent thereof) of the Company or any of their Affiliates or any person other than the parties or (y) any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period or to a particular term or condition of employment with Purchaser, the Company or any of their subsidiaries or Affiliates, (ii) limit the ability of Purchaser, the Company or any of their subsidiaries or Affiliates to terminate the

employment of any employee (including any Continuing Employee) at any time and for any reason or (iii) establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement or alter or limit Purchaser’s, the Company’s or any of their subsidiaries’ ability to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement.

SECTION 7.05 Tax Matters.

(a) All stock transfer, real estate transfer, documentary, filing, stamp, recording, registration and other similar Taxes (including interest, penalties and additions to any such Taxes, but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including any income or capital gains Taxes or similar Taxes) incurred in connection with the Transactions (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne fifty percent by Purchaser and fifty percent by Seller. Seller and Purchaser further agree, upon request, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Taxing Authority as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed in connection with the Transactions. Purchaser shall be exclusively responsible for preparing, executing and filing any Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes. Seller shall pay to Purchaser, at least five days before any such Tax Return is due, an amount equal to Seller’s share of such Transfer Taxes. If either Seller or Purchaser receives any refund, credit or recovery of any Transfer Tax that was shared by the parties in accordance with this Section 7.05(a), such party shall promptly pay to the other party such other party’s share of such refund, credit or recovery, net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses.

(b) Seller shall cause the Company to prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed, when due (taking into account all applicable extensions) all Tax Returns that are filed by or with respect to the Company on or before the Closing Date. Seller shall cause the Company to timely pay, or cause to be paid, to the applicable Taxing Authority, all Taxes due with respect to such Tax Returns.

(c) Purchaser shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, when due (taking into account all applicable extensions) all Tax Returns (i) for any taxable period that ends on or before the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Tax Period”) and (ii) for any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), in each case that are filed by or with respect to the Company after the Closing Date. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner that is consistent with the past practice of the Company, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. Purchaser shall present such Tax Returns to Seller for review and comment at least 30 days prior to the date on which such Tax Returns are required to be filed and such Tax Returns shall be subject to Seller’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that Purchaser and Seller shall act reasonably and in good faith to resolve any objection properly and timely raised by Seller with respect to such Tax Returns. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve any issue within 10 days after the date of receipt by Purchaser of the request for changes, then Seller and Purchaser jointly shall engage the Accounting Firm to determine the correct treatment of the item or items in dispute. Each of Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other, shall bear and pay one half of the fees and other costs charged by the Accounting Firm for such determination. Such determination of the Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. Seller shall pay to Purchaser, at least five days before any such Tax Return is due, the amount, if any, owed by Seller pursuant to Section 10.01(c) with respect to the taxable periods covered by such Tax Returns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.05(c), this Section 7.05(c) shall not apply to income Tax Returns of Seller for any taxable period, and Purchaser shall have no rights or obligations with respect to such Tax Returns.

(d) Subject to Section 7.05(c), neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall (or shall cause or permit the Company to) file, amend or refile any Tax Return of the Company for any taxable period beginning prior to the Closing Date without the prior written consent of Seller.

(e) Except as described in Section 2.03(f), any refund or credit of Taxes of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period and the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be paid to Seller. All other refunds or credits of Taxes of the Company shall belong to Purchaser. Any refund or credit of Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period shall be apportioned in accordance with Section 7.05(m). Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall, or shall cause their Affiliates to, pay to the other party the portion of any such refund or credit of Taxes to which such other party is entitled under this Section 7.05(e), in the case of a refund, within ten days after such refund is received or in the case of a credit, within ten days after such credit is allowed or applied against other Tax liabilities; provided, however, that if any portion of such refund or credit is subsequently disallowed by any Taxing Authority, the amounts previously paid in respect thereof under this Section 7.05(e) shall be promptly reimbursed by the payee to the payor.

(f) Purchaser and Seller shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors and representatives to reasonably cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns and in resolving all disputes and audits relating to Taxes with respect to all taxable periods, including by maintaining and making available to each other all records reasonably necessary for the filing of any Tax Return or the conduct of any Tax dispute or audit. Purchaser agrees to retain or cause to be retained all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company and the Company’s assets and activities relating to taxable periods beginning prior to the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable period for assessment under applicable Law (giving effect to any and all extensions or waivers) and to abide by or cause the abidance with all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority.

(g) All Tax sharing agreements, arrangements and practices between the Company, on the one hand, and Seller or any Affiliate of Seller (other than the Company), on the other hand, shall be terminated before the Closing. After the Closing, neither Seller nor any Affiliate of Seller shall have any rights or obligations under any such Tax sharing agreement, arrangement or practice.

(h) If Purchaser or any of its Affiliates receives notice of a Tax audit, examination, claim, dispute, investigation or other proceeding, in each case that relates to the Company (a “Tax Proceeding”) with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, then Purchaser shall notify Seller within ten days after receipt of such notice. Purchaser’s notification to Seller shall contain factual information describing the Tax Proceeding in reasonable detail and shall include copies of any notice or other document received from any Taxing Authority in respect of any such Tax Proceeding.

(i) In the case of a Tax Proceeding that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Seller shall have the right to control the conduct of the Tax Proceeding. To the extent Seller elects to control the Tax Proceeding, Seller shall notify Purchaser of its intent to do so within 30 days of receipt of notice of the Tax Proceeding, and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause the Company to reasonably cooperate, in each phase of such Tax Proceeding. If Seller elects not to control the Tax Proceeding, Purchaser shall assume control of such Tax Proceeding. In such event, Seller shall have the following rights (the “Tax Proceeding Rights”): (i) Purchaser shall keep Seller informed on a prompt basis regarding the progress and substantive aspects of such Tax Proceeding, including by providing Seller with all written materials relating to the Tax Proceeding submitted to and received from the relevant Taxing Authority, (ii) Seller shall be entitled to participate in the Tax Proceeding, including by having an opportunity to comment on any written materials prepared in connection with such Tax Proceeding and attending any conferences relating thereto, and (iii) Purchaser shall not compromise, settle or resolve the Tax Proceeding without obtaining Seller’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. In the case of a Tax Proceeding that relates to a Straddle Period (a “Straddle Period Contest”), Purchaser shall have the right to control such Straddle Period Contest subject to the Tax Proceeding Rights.

(j) Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall waive any statute of limitations or agree to any extensions thereof in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period of the Company without the prior written consent of Seller.

(k) For U.S. Federal income Tax purposes, the parties shall treat the Membership Interest Purchase as a purchase by Purchaser of the assets owned by the Company as of the Closing, and an assumption by Purchaser of any liabilities of the Company as of the Closing.

(l) The purchase price and the amount of liabilities treated as having been assumed by Purchaser as a result of the Membership Interest Purchase for U.S. Federal income Tax purposes, shall be allocated among the assets owned as of the Closing by the Company (such allocation, the “Purchase Price Allocation”) in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder; provided, however, that the allocation to the Owned Real Property shall not exceed, in the aggregate, $50 million (unless either party determines, based on the advice of its independent advisor, that such an allocation is not in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder). The Purchase Price Allocation shall be delivered by Purchaser to Seller within 90 days after the Closing Date for Seller’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Seller and Purchaser shall work in good faith to resolve any disputes relating to the Purchase Price Allocation within 30 days. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve any such dispute, such dispute shall be resolved promptly by the Accounting Firm in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.03(c). If the purchase price is adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchase Price Allocation shall be adjusted as mutually agreed by Purchaser and Seller. Purchaser and Seller shall file all Tax Returns (including, but not limited to, Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall take any Tax position inconsistent with such Purchase Price Allocation unless such position is mutually agreed by the parties or required to be taken pursuant to a final determination under Section 1313 of the Code. Purchaser and Seller agree to promptly advise the other regarding the existence of any Tax audit or controversy regarding the correctness of the Purchase Price Allocation or any adjustment thereto.

(m) In the case of any Straddle Period: (A) Property Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period; and (B) Taxes (other than Property Taxes) for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date and, in the case of any such Taxes attributable to the ownership of any equity interest in a partnership or other “flowthrough” entity, as if the taxable period of that entity ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

SECTION 7.06 Financial Statements. Upon the written request of Purchaser, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense and only to the extent necessary to comply with the disclosure obligations of Purchaser or its Affiliates under Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X (“Rule 3-05”), Seller shall provide Purchaser and its representatives (including its legal counsel and independent auditors) historical financial statements for (i) the latest fiscal year period prior to the Closing Date, audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), (ii) any additional audited fiscal year periods for prior periods should Purchaser’s auditors determine that such additional periods would be required in order to comply with Rule 3-05 and (iii) the latest fiscal year interim period financial

statements prior to the Closing Date as required by Rule 3-05 and deliver them to Purchaser for its comment and review no less than fifteen (15) days prior to the filing deadline stipulated by Rule 3-05 (and in any event no later than 60 days following Purchaser’s request). The obligations of Seller to disclose or provide reasonable access to any such historical financial information shall terminate six months after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for its and its Affiliates’ reasonable internal costs and out-of-pocket costs associated with this Section 7.06. Purchaser agrees that it shall consult with Seller in advance of requesting any such access with a view towards establishing a mutually agreeable plan for such access that shall not unreasonably interfere with the normal operation of Seller. In addition, upon the written request of Purchaser, Seller shall, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, prepare historical financial statements for the interim period beginning the first day of the fiscal quarter in which the Closing Date occurs through the Closing Date and deliver them to Purchaser no less than 30 days after the Closing Date, provided such financial statements need not be audited or reviewed by an independent auditor.

SECTION 7.07 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Membership Interest Purchase and the other Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Membership Interest Purchase and the other Transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

SECTION 7.08 Termination of Transactions with Affiliates. Seller shall ensure that all transactions between the Company, on the one hand, and Seller, any Affiliate of Seller (including any member of the LG Group but other than the Company) or any Company Related Person, on the other hand, are terminated and fully and completely discharged prior to the Close of Business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date.

SECTION 7.09 Insurance. From the date hereof until the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause the other members of the Seller Group to, promptly notify each insurance carrier of any Insurance Policy of any claim relating to the Company or the Business that reasonably could be expected to be covered under such Insurance Policies (without giving effect to the $250,000 deductible) and, to the extent that Seller does not use the proceeds of any insurance claim to repair the affected property of the Company, Seller shall include the amount of the insurance proceeds in the Net Working Capital Statement, or if received by Seller or any of its Affiliates after the delivery of the Closing Statement, shall promptly remit all such proceeds to the Company. Following the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause the other members of the Seller Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts to enable, after the Closing, the Seller Group, on behalf of Purchaser and the Company to, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, file, notice and otherwise continue to pursue any claims (including commercially reasonable efforts to assert and maintain such claims), and recover proceeds under the terms of any Insurance Policies which provide coverage with respect to the Company for any covered loss, liability or damage under such Insurance Policies arising out of an occurrence prior to the Closing Date or arising out of an act, error or omission that forms the basis of a claim made against the Company prior to the Closing Date. To the extent Seller or any of its Affiliates receives a cash payment following the Closing from any insurance carrier for any such insurance claims, then Seller shall promptly remit any such cash payment to Purchaser; provided, however, that such cash payment shall be (x) reduced by the amount of any applicable deductibles and copayment provisions or any payment or reimbursement obligations of Seller or any other member of the Seller Group, as applicable, in respect thereof and (y) net of the amount of any related Tax costs. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller and each other member of the Seller Group shall have no obligation to keep the Insurance Policies in effect beyond the period for which premiums have been paid as of the Closing.

SECTION 7.10 Non-Solicitation and Non-Hire of Employees. For a period of two (2) years from the date hereof, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, solicit or hire, or attempt to solicit or hire, any person that such person came into direct contact with in connection with the Transactions who is (or was at any time during such two (2) year period) an employee of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or subsidiaries, excluding in either case any such employees that were terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be precluded from soliciting or hiring any employee who (a) responds to an advertisement or other general solicitation not targeted to employees of a party (or its Affiliates) or (b) is referred by a search firm, employment agency or similar entity so long as such entities have not been directly or indirectly instructed by the hiring party to solicit such employee. Seller shall also be prohibited from soliciting or hiring any employee of the Company for a period of two (2) years from the Closing Date, without Purchaser’s prior written consent.

SECTION 7.11 Exclusivity. Except with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or set forth in Section 7.11 of the Seller Disclosure Letter, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and the Company and its and their respective Representatives (including any investment banking, legal or accounting firm retained by any of the foregoing) not to: (a) initiate, solicit or seek, directly or indirectly, any inquiries or the making or implementation of any proposal or offer with respect to a merger, acquisition, consolidation, equity investment or similar transaction involving, or any purchase of all or any substantial portion of the assets or any membership interests of, Seller or the Company (any such proposal or offer being hereinafter referred to as a “Proposal”); (b) engage in any negotiations or substantive discussions with, or provide any confidential information or data to, any Person relating to a Proposal; (c) otherwise cooperate in any effort or attempt to make, implement or accept a Proposal; or (d) enter into a Contract with any Person relating to a Proposal. The obligations set forth in this Section 7.11 shall expire upon the earlier of (i) the termination of this Agreement and (ii) the Closing Date.

SECTION 7.12 Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at any time or from time to time after the Closing, at the request of any party, the other part(ies) shall, and shall cause its or their respective Affiliates to, without further consideration, execute and deliver such other documents and instruments, provide such materials and information and take such other actions as may reasonably be necessary, proper or advisable, to the extent permitted by Law, to fulfill its or their obligations under this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 7.13 Real Property Matters. Purchaser may obtain a commitment or commitments for title insurance (individually or collectively, the “Title Commitment”) to insure the Owned Real Property under a title policy from the Title Company. Purchaser, in its sole, but reasonable discretion may obtain commercially reasonable endorsements to its title policy. Purchaser may also obtain a new (or to the extent available, a recertified) survey prepared in accordance with the “Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys” jointly established and adopted by ALTA and the National Society of Professional Surveyors, Inc. in 2016 (or the local equivalent thereof) of the Owned Real Property (the “Survey”) in connection with Purchaser’s title policy. If Purchaser elects to obtain a Title Commitment, purchase a title policy (inclusive of any endorsements thereto) or order a Survey, in each case as provided herein, Purchaser shall be responsible for all costs and expenses in connection therewith. Seller’s obligations with respect to this Section 7.13 shall be exclusively limited to (i) providing a reasonable and customary owner’s affidavit executed and delivered by the Company in favor of the Title Company in order to permit the Title Company to delete from the title policy such general exceptions to title as are customarily omitted for the applicable jurisdiction in which the Owned Real Property is located on the basis of an owner’s affidavit (other than any Permitted Liens) and (ii) upon reasonable advance written notice to Seller, provide access to Purchaser’s surveyor to the Owned Real Property.

SECTION 7.14 D&O Indemnification. Seller and the Company agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liability for acts or omissions occurring in connection with or prior to the Closing now existing in favor of the current or former members, directors, managers, officers or employees of the Company (“D&O Indemnified Persons”), including as provided in the Organizational Documents, will survive the Closing and will continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause the Company to purchase (and Seller shall pay for) six-year “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, employment practices liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance policies that (i) have coverage not less than the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, employment practices liability insurance, and fiduciary liability insurance policy coverage and have other terms not less favorable to the insured persons than the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, employment practices liability insurance, and fiduciary liability insurance policies and (ii) provides coverage with respect to matters existing or arising on or before the Closing Date.

SECTION 7.15 Parent Guarantee. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a duly executed Parent Guarantee, dated as of the date hereof, from the Guarantor, the form of which is attached as Exhibit B hereto (the “Guarantee”).

(b) by either Purchaser or Seller:

(i) if the Membership Interest Purchase is not consummated on or before April 16, 2019 (subject to extension pursuant to Section 11.09(b)) (the “Outside Date”), unless the failure to consummate the Membership Interest Purchase is the result of a breach of this Agreement by the party seeking to terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that (A) Purchaser shall not have a right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(b)(i) if Seller has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(e) or 9.01(f) and (B) Seller shall not have a right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(b)(i) if Purchaser has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(c);

(iv) if any condition to the obligation of such party to consummate the Membership Interest Purchase set forth in Section 8.01 (in the case of Purchaser or Seller), Section 8.02 (in the case of Purchaser) or Section 8.03 (in the case of Seller) becomes incapable of satisfaction prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that the terminating party is not then in breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement which breach resulted in the failure of such condition;

(c) by Purchaser, if Seller breaches or fails to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.02(a) or 8.02(b) and (ii) cannot be or has not been cured within 30 days after the giving of written notice to Seller of such breach (provided that Purchaser is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Purchaser contained in this Agreement);

(d) (A) by Seller, after November 8, 2018, if a Second ROFO Notice has been delivered, solely to permit Seller simultaneously with such termination to execute a definitive agreement with Associated Asphalt Marketing, LLC (as successor-in-interest to Road Holdings III, L.L.C.) for the purchase of the Company according to the terms of the Second ROFO Notice on terms more favorable to Seller than those contained in this Agreement; or (B) by Purchaser, if Seller delivers a Second ROFO Notice and (i) Associated Asphalt Marketing, LLC (as successor-in-interest to Road Holdings III, L.L.C.) executes a definitive agreement for the purchase of the Company with Seller on terms more favorable to Seller than those contained in this Agreement, or (ii) Associated Asphalt Marketing, LLC (as successor-in-interest to Road Holdings III, L.L.C.) makes an offer to Seller for the purchase of the Company on terms and conditions more favorable to Seller than those contained in this Agreement and fails to execute a definitive agreement within 60 days after the date of delivery of the Second ROFO Notice;

SECTION 9.02 Effect of Termination.

foregoing, in the event that this Agreement is terminated or could have been terminated by Purchaser or Seller under Section 9.01(d) and Seller or an Affiliate of Seller consummates a transaction for the purchase of the Company (i) with Associated Asphalt Marketing, LLC (as successor-in-interest to Road Holdings III, L.L.C.) (or its successors or assigns) as contemplated by Section 9.01(d), the Company shall pay to Purchaser a termination fee in the amount of $5 million within three (3) Business Days of the consummation of such transaction by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Purchaser; provided, however, that if such transaction is not consummated, Purchaser shall be entitled to share equally in any termination fees, expenses or damages recovered by the Company from Road Holdings III L.L.C. (or any of its affiliates or guarantors of its obligations) in connection with a termination of such definitive agreement (with Purchaser’s share not to exceed $5 million); or (ii) any other person during the one year period following termination of this Agreement, Seller agrees that Seller shall pay Purchaser 50% of the positive difference between (A) the combined value of the base purchase price (as defined in such agreement) of such agreement and any additional purchase price that is actually paid pursuant to such agreement and (B) the Base Purchase Price, with such fee payable by Seller to Purchaser within three (3) Business Days of the receipt by Seller or its Affiliates of such component of the purchase price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Purchaser (i.e., if the base purchase price pursuant to such agreement exceeds the Base Purchase Price, Purchaser shall be entitled to payment of 50% of the positive difference within three (3) Business Days following payment of the base purchase price and 50% of any additional purchase price within three (3) Business Days of payment thereof to Seller or its Affiliates); provided, however, that Purchaser’s total recovery under this clause (ii) shall not exceed $5 million. The parties and the Company agree that this Section 9.02 is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements, the parties and the Company would not have entered into the Agreement.

SECTION 9.03 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties at any time only by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties.

SECTION 9.04 Extension; Waiver.

Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of such party. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

For the purposes of the indemnity provided in this Section 10.01, any Losses hereunder (including Losses related to Taxes, for which indemnification provisions are set forth in Section 10.01(c)) shall be determined on the basis of the net effect after giving effect to any actual cash payments or setoffs in each case as actually received or retained by the Purchaser Indemnified Persons as a result of the event giving rise to a claim for such indemnification.

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that solely with respect to the calculation of Losses and not with respect to determining the existence of such breach, any qualifier in any such representation or warranty as to materiality, Purchaser Material Adverse Effect or words of similar import shall be disregarded;

(b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or other obligation of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Company after the Closing) set forth in this Agreement; or

(c) all liabilities of the Company, whether arising prior to, on or after the Closing; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify or hold the Equityholder Indemnified Persons harmless under this clause (c) from and against Losses either (i) for Retained Liabilities or (ii) for which the Purchaser Indemnified Persons are otherwise entitled to indemnification under Section 10.01.

SECTION 10.03 Defense of Third Party Claims.

(a) If any legal proceedings shall be instituted or any claim is asserted by any third party (a “Third Party Claim”) in respect of which any Indemnifying Party may have an obligation to indemnify an Indemnified Party, then the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof within 10 Business Days after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Third Party Claim, but any failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party other than to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, within five Business Days’ time after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all material notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree to keep each other reasonably apprised of any additional information concerning such Third Party Claim.

(b) If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, subject to Section 10.03(c), if it so chooses, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within 10 Business Days after having received the applicable claim notice with respect to such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense but the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such participation; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for such legal expenses if the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that the incurrence of the same is appropriate in light of defenses not available to the Indemnifying Party, conflicts of interest or other similar circumstances.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.03(b) to the contrary, in no event shall the Indemnifying Party have the right to assume, or continue, the defense of a Third Party Claim if (i) such Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Action, (ii) such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (iii) the Indemnifying Party has an interest, other than any interest under this Agreement, with respect to such Third Party Claim, which interest conflicts (as reasonably determined by counsel for the Indemnified Party) with the interests of the Indemnified Party, (iv) the Indemnifying Party fails to diligently defend such Third Party Claim, or (v) Seller is the Indemnifying Party and the Third Party Claim is covered under or erodes the Representation and Warranty Policy.

(d) Each party shall cooperate, and cause its Affiliates to cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and, upon a party’s reasonable request, the provision to such party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide testimony or additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(e) In the event the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 10.03(b), the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement of such claim or ceasing to defend against such claim (with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 10.03(b), the Indemnified Party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim, which unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates completely in connection with such Third Party Claim and does not impose or purport to impose any obligation or restriction on such Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates (including any injunctive or other equitable relief against any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or any action or restriction upon the conduct of any business by any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates).

(f) Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(g) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of the defense of such claim in accordance with Section 10.03(b), or the Indemnifying Party does not have the right to assume, or continue, the defense of such claim pursuant to Section 10.03(c), then the Indemnified Party (i) shall have the right to defend such Third Party Claim as if such Indemnified Party were not entitled to indemnification under this Article X, with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party, in all proceedings and (ii) shall keep the Indemnifying Party informed of the progress of the Third Party Claim and shall as promptly as practicable provide such Indemnifying Party with copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to such Third Party Claim.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sections 7.05(h) and 7.05(i), and not this Section 10.03, shall apply to any Tax Proceeding.

SECTION 10.04 Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party in writing with reasonable promptness, setting forth specifically the obligation with respect to which the claim is made, the facts giving rise to and the alleged basis for such claim and, if known or reasonably ascertainable, the amount of the liability asserted or which may be asserted by reason thereof, but any failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party other than to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. In the event the Indemnifying Party disputes its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party under this Article X, the Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after receipt of notice under this Section 10.04 to give written notice of such objection, and the grounds therefor, and the Indemnified Party shall thereafter have 30 days to respond in writing to the objection of the Indemnifying Party. If after such 30-day period there remains a dispute as to any obligation, the parties shall attempt in good faith for 30 days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to such indemnification obligation. If (i) at the end of such 30-day period or (ii) as a result of the Indemnifying Party not responding to the notice of objection in the time period provided, the parties are unable to resolve any remaining disputes, the Indemnified Party may initiate a court proceeding with respect to such claim in accordance with Section 11.10. For the avoidance of doubt, the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Section 10.04 shall only apply to a determination of whether a claim for indemnification not involving a Third Party Claim is indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 10.01 or Section 10.02, as applicable, and not with respect to the determination of the actual amount payable by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim pursuant to this Article X, which such actual indemnifiable amount may not be known by the Indemnified Party at the time notice of such claim is provided to the Indemnifying Party or during the period in which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are attempting to resolve any dispute with respect to such claim in accordance with this Section 10.04.

Any claim for indemnity under Sections 10.01(a), 10.01(b), 10.01(c) 10.02(a) or 10.02(b) must be asserted in writing prior to the applicable Survival Expiration Date.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 10.05(a), a party’s rights to indemnification under this Article X, the other provisions of this Article X and the applicable representations, warranties or covenants giving rise to such right to indemnification shall not terminate with respect to any claim with respect to which the Indemnified Party has delivered a written notice to the Indemnifying Party prior to the applicable Survival Expiration Date, alleging in good faith a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant or other right to indemnification and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for indemnification, the facts upon which the claim for indemnification is based and, if known, an estimate in reasonable detail of the Losses incurred in connection therewith; in which case, the applicable representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or right to indemnification under this Article X shall survive until, and only for purposes of, the resolution of the matters covered by all such notices related thereto.

SECTION 10.06 Indemnification Limitations. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

(ii) in no event shall the aggregate liability of Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, for all claims of Losses under Section 10.01(a), 10.01(b)(i) or 10.02(a) (other than Losses in respect of a breach of the Fundamental Representations or the Specified Representations), as applicable, exceed the Indemnity Cap;

(iii) in no event shall the aggregate liability of Seller under Sections 10.01(a) and 10.01(b) (other than in respect of a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.07) exceed an amount equal to the Base Purchase Price;

The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided for under this Article X shall be offset by any amounts actually recovered in cash by the Indemnified Parties as a result of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Parties with respect to such Losses (net of the costs and expenses of obtaining any such insurance proceeds, including the costs, if any, resulting from premium adjustments with respect to such insurance policy). Purchaser and Seller agree to (and agree to cause the other Indemnified Parties to) use commercially reasonable efforts to make any claims for insurance and/or indemnification available from any third party and to diligently pursue such claims in good faith.

(c) Any indemnification payments made pursuant to Section 10.01 or 10.02 shall be treated as an adjustment to the purchase price for all Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law;

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Purchaser Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification under this Article X for any Losses (i) to the extent such Losses are fully reflected in the Final Closing Adjustment and arise out of or are based upon the breach or failure to be true and correct of any representation or warranty set forth in Article III or Article IV or (ii) in respect of any liability or obligation of the Company (other than the liabilities and obligations set forth in clause (iii) of the definition of Retained Liabilities), whether arising prior to, on or after the Closing, that arises under or relates to Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits, or otherwise to Hazardous Materials, as it is the parties’ express agreement and intent that the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all such liabilities and obligations shall be pursuant to the Representation and Warranty Policy and the Environmental Policy;

(e) No party shall be entitled to make any claim for indemnification under this Article X with respect to (i) any matter forming the basis for a dispute with respect to the Closing Statement pursuant to Section 2.03 or (ii) any Loss to the extent such Indemnified Party has been indemnified or reimbursed for such Loss under any other provision of this Agreement;

(f) Upon making any indemnity payment hereunder, the Indemnifying Party will, to the extent of such payment or amount, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party against any third party in respect of the Loss to which such payment or amount related; provided, however, if an Equityholder Indemnified Person is the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party making such payment or amount will not be subrogated to the rights of such Equityholder Indemnified Person if the insurer under the Representation and Warranty Policy has a right to subrogation. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party will duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above-described subrogation and subordination rights;

(g) Any liability for indemnification hereunder will be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement or more than one right to indemnification; and

(h) Except for the representations and warranties contained in Article III and Article IV, (A) Seller and the Company have not made any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to Seller or the Company, (B) Purchaser has not relied upon, and will not assert that it has relied upon, and specifically disclaims reliance on, any representation or warranty (express or implied) of Seller or the Company or other information regarding Seller or the Company that is not set forth in Article III or Article IV and (C) except in the case of a breach of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, none of Seller or its Affiliates shall have or be subject to any liability to Purchaser or any other person resulting from the furnishing prior to the date hereof to Purchaser or its Representatives, or their use of or reliance on, any such information or any information, documents or material made available prior to the date hereof to Purchaser or its Representatives in any form in expectation of, or in connection with, the Transactions.

(i) The representations, warranties, covenants and agreement 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 any of its Representative) 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 Article VII or Article VIII, as applicable.

SECTION 10.07 Exclusive Remedy.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement (including this Section 10.07(a)) shall affect or limit the rights of any party with respect to any insurance policies held by such party.

(b) After the Closing, no party may bring any Action seeking to rescind the Transactions or this Agreement, whether based on fraud, gross negligence, negligence, breach of contract, breach of statute or otherwise.

(c) Any indemnification amount payable by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to this Article X may not be offset against the Remainder Payment.

This Agreement, together with the attached exhibits and schedule, the Seller Disclosure Letter, the Non-Disclosure Agreement, the Joint Defense and Confidentiality Agreement between Seller and Purchaser, dated as of May 15, 2018 and the Clean Team Confidentiality Agreement between Seller and Purchaser, dated as of May 15, 2018 constitute the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties and the Company with respect to the Transactions, and except for Section 7.02(a)(2), Section 7.14, Article X and Section 11.13, is not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties any rights or remedies.

SECTION 11.07 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof; provided, however, that any dispute resolution by the Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 2.03(c)(iii) and Sections 2.08(c)(iv)-(vii) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

SECTION 11.08 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be delegated or assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the parties or the Company without the prior written consent of the other parties or the Company, except that Purchaser may delegate or assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate of Purchaser, but no such assignment shall relieve Purchaser of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void. Subject to the immediately preceding two sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

SECTION 11.09 Specific Performance.

(a) The parties and the Company agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, are not an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the parties and the Company do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the Transactions) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Subject to the immediately following sentence, the parties and the Company acknowledge and agree that (i) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 11.10 without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, neither Seller, the Company nor Purchaser would have entered into this Agreement.

(b) Each of the parties and the Company agree that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. The parties and the Company acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 11.09 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction, and the party or the Company opposing such injunction or injunctions hereby agrees that it shall not contest the amount or absence of any such bond or other security requested or offered by the party seeking such injunction or injunctions. If, prior to the Outside Date, any party brings any Action, in each case in accordance with Section 11.10, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended by (A) the amount of time during which such Action is pending plus 10 Business Days, or (B) such other time period established by the court presiding over such suit, action or proceeding, as the case may be; provided that in no event shall the Outside Date be extended longer than sixty days pursuant to clause (A) or (B).

SECTION 11.10 Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Jury Trial Waiver.

(a) All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined in the state courts of Delaware sitting in New Castle County, or solely if none of those courts have jurisdiction, a federal court sitting in the State of Delaware. In addition, each of the parties and the Company hereby irrevocably (i) submits to the jurisdiction of such courts (and, in the case of appeals, appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such Action and irrevocably waives the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and (iii) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the Transactions in any court other than the state courts of Delaware sitting in New Castle County, or solely if none of those courts have jurisdiction, a federal court sitting in the State of Delaware. The consents to jurisdiction set forth in this paragraph shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware. The parties and the Company agree that service of process by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address for notices set out in Section 11.01 shall be sufficient to satisfy all legal requirements for service of process. The parties and the Company agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law.

(b) EACH OF THE PARTIES AND THE COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY AND THE COMPANY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE COMPANY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY PARTY OR THE COMPANY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT ANY OTHER PARTY OR THE COMPANY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF AN ACTION, (II) SUCH PARTY AND THE COMPANY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) SUCH PARTY AND THE COMPANY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) SUCH PARTY AND THE COMPANY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.10(b).

SECTION 11.11 Provision with Respect to Legal Representation. Each of the parties hereby agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its directors, members, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates, that Cravath, Swaine & Xxxxx LLP may serve as counsel to Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx and its Affiliates (the “LG Group”), on the one hand, and Seller and the other members of the Seller Group, on the other hand, in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, and that, following consummation of the Transactions, Cravath, Swaine & Xxxxx LLP may serve as counsel to any member of the LG Group or any director, member, partner, officer, employee or Affiliate of the LG Group, in connection with any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, notwithstanding such representation and each of the parties hereby consents thereto and waives any conflict of interest arising therefrom, and each of such parties shall cause any Affiliate thereof to consent to waive any conflict of interest arising from such representation. In connection with any dispute that may arise between the LG Group and Purchaser or the Company, the individual members of the LG Group involved in such dispute (and not Purchaser or the Company) will have the right to decide whether or not to waive any attorney-client privilege that may apply to any communications between Seller and Cravath, Swaine & Xxxxx LLP that occurred before the Closing.

SECTION 11.12 Purchaser and Seller Acknowledgements.

(a) Purchaser is knowledgeable about the Business engaged in by the Company.

(b) Purchaser, Seller and the Company each acknowledge that they are sophisticated parties and have been represented by sophisticated counsel of their choosing. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that any financial forecasts or projections relating to the Company or the Business prepared by or on behalf of Seller have been provided to Purchaser with the understanding and agreement that, except for the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, Seller is not making any representation or warranty with respect to such forecasts or projections and that actual future results may vary from such forecasts or projections based upon numerous factors.

SECTION 11.13 Affiliate Liability. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, (a) no person other than the parties, the Company and their respective successors and permitted assigns shall have any Liability under this Agreement or in connection with the Transactions and (b) notwithstanding that any party, the Company or any of their successors or permitted assigns may be a partnership or limited liability company, no person has any rights of recovery against, and no recourse under this Agreement or under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith shall be had against, any person who is not a party, including (i) any past, present or future, direct or indirect,

director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, general or limited partner, manager, management company, stockholder, equityholder, controlling person, Affiliate, subsidiary, portfolio company, agent, attorney, Representative or assignee of, and any financial advisor, financing source or lender to, any party or the Company, (ii) any of their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors or assigns, (iii) any past, present or future, direct or indirect, director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, general or limited partner, manager, management company, stockholder, equityholder, controlling person, Affiliate, subsidiary, portfolio company, agent, attorney, Representative or assignee of, and any financial advisor, financing source or lender to, any of the foregoing persons set forth in clauses (i) and (ii), and (iv) any of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors or assigns of the foregoing persons set forth in clauses (i) – (iii) (collectively, the persons set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) that are not parties, “Related Parties”) in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim (whether at law or equity in tort, contract or otherwise) by or on behalf of any party or the Company against any Related Party of any party or the Company, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or by virtue of any applicable Law, or otherwise, it being agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any Related Party of any party or the Company for any obligations of a party or the Company to this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith or any of such party’s or the Company’s successors or permitted assigns or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith or for any claim (whether at law or equity or in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Each party and the Company hereby covenants and agrees that, except to the extent any Related Party of any party or the Company has any express obligations under this Agreement, it shall not institute, and shall cause its Affiliates not to institute, any legal proceeding or bring any other claim (whether at law or equity in tort, contract or otherwise) arising under, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, against any Related Party of any party or the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, each party and the Company disclaims any reliance upon any Related Party of any party with respect to the performance of this Agreement, this Agreement or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with or as an inducement to this Agreement. This Section 11.13 is intended to benefit and may be enforced by any Related Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 11.13 shall in any way limit or modify the rights and obligations of the parties or the Company under this Agreement.
