THE CREDITS

Section 2.01 Loan.

(a) Loans.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth herein, each Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees to advance to Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period such loans as Borrower may request pursuant to this Section 2.01 (such loans, together with the principal amount of each Deemed Loan, individually, a “Loan” and, collectively, the “Loan” or “Loans”), in an aggregate principal amount which, when added to the aggregate principal amount of all prior Loans (including borrowings under this Agreement and Deemed Loans) made by such Lender, does not exceed such Lender’s Commitment; provided, that Borrower may only request Loans (other than Deemed Loans) once every ninety (90) days and (ii) two additional times in any calendar year (without reliance on the foregoing clause (i)), so long as, in the case of this clause (ii), each such request occurs at least thirty (30) days following the immediately prior request for Loans made by Borrower.

(ii) In addition, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Lender, on the date of each drawing under any Lender Credit Support Document by the OpCo Senior Administrative Agent in accordance with the HoldCo Lender Backstop Agreement and the applicable Lender Credit Support Document, shall be deemed to have made a Loan to Borrower (subject only to the Deemed Loan Conditions), in the principal amount equal to the amount drawn or paid under any Lender Credit Support Document, and Borrower shall, subject only to the Deemed Loan Conditions, be unconditionally obligated to repay each Lender for any amount so drawn as a Deemed Loan (but without duplication of any obligation to repay a Loan hereunder). Such Deemed Loan shall be immediately due and payable to the Lender if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 7.01(f) (with respect to Borrower) or if the Loans have been accelerated pursuant to Article VII, court order, or otherwise, no loan or extension of credit to or for the benefit of Borrower is permitted at such time; and such Deemed Loan shall in all other circumstances be treated as a Loan hereunder made on the date of receipt of proceeds arising from the draw or claim under the applicable Lender Credit Support Document and payable as a Loan hereunder and in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement. Subject only to the Deemed Loan Conditions, Borrower’s obligations to repay each applicable Lender in full for any drawing under any Lender Credit Support Document shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against any Lender or any other Person (other any defense related to the Deemed Loan Conditions and the defense of such repayment having been made).

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

(b) No Reborrowing. Amounts prepaid or repaid in respect of any Loan may not be reborrowed.

(c) Notice of Loan Borrowing. To request a borrowing of Loans (other than Deemed Loans), Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on a Business Day, a Borrowing Request. The date of the proposed borrowing (each such date, together with the borrowing contemplated by the first sentence of Section 2.04, a “Funding Date”) specified in a Borrowing Request shall be no earlier than twelve (12) Business Days after the delivery of such Borrowing Request. Each Borrowing Request shall specify the amount to be borrowed and the proposed Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day). Upon receipt of such Borrowing Request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, no Borrowing Request shall be required in respect of Deemed Loans.

(d) Notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly (and in any case within one (1) Business Day) following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.01, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested to be made as part of the Loan.

(e) Tax Considerations. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, each of Borrower, and Pledgor and the Lenders agree that it is their intention that, for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, (1) the Loan, together with the corresponding HoldCo Equity Kicker, shall be treated as an investment unit, (2) the purchase price of such investment unit shall equal the total purchase price paid by the Lenders for the Loan on each Funding Date, (3) a portion of the purchase price of the investment unit shall, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, be allocated to the purchase of the corresponding HoldCo Equity Kicker as mutually agreed by the parties, and (4) the Loan shall be treated as a debt instrument, and not as a “contingent payment debt instrument,” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4), for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes (together, the “Intended Tax Treatment”). Borrower will provide any information reasonably requested in writing from time to time by any Lender regarding the original issue discount associated with the Loan for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Each of Borrower, Pledgor and the Lenders agrees to file income tax returns consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment, including the allocation set forth in this Section 2.01(e), and shall not take any position inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment in any judicial, administrative, or other proceeding, unless otherwise required as a result of a change in applicable tax law (including any regulations issued by any taxing authorities, any rulings or similar guidance by any taxing authority) or a determination (within the meaning of section 1313(a) of the Code or similar provision of state or local law). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for all purposes (except for the purpose of this Section 2.01(e)), each Lender shall be treated as having lent the full amount of its pro rata portion of the principal amount of the Loan. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Intended Tax Treatment of the Loan shall apply only for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.

Section 2.02 [Reserved].

Section 2.03 Funding of the Loan. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02, each Lender shall, no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Funding Date specified in the respective Borrowing Request, make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in Dollars and in immediately available funds equal to the

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

Loan to be made by such Lender. Administrative Agent shall make available to OpCo Borrower, by deposit into the Construction Account, the aggregate of the amounts made available to Administrative Agent by the Lenders, in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.04 Funding of the Commitments. At the close of business on the last Business Day of the Availability Period, each Lender shall make a Loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to the remaining undrawn Commitments, which amounts shall be contributed by the Borrower to the OpCo Borrower pursuant to the OpCo Senior Financing Documents. The date of funding of any such Loans pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be a Funding Date. Once borrowed or repaid, no Loan may be reborrowed. In addition, the Borrower may not reduce or terminate Commitments hereunder if such reduction or termination would not be permitted under the HoldCo Lender Backstop Agreement.

Section 2.05 Repayment of Loan; Evidence of Debt.

(a) Promise to Repay at Maturity. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, the unpaid principal amount of the Loan then outstanding on the Maturity Date.

(b) Evidence of Debt.

(i) Each Lender may maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender resulting from the Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. In the case of a Lender that does not request execution and delivery of a Note evidencing the Loan made by such Lender to Borrower, such account or accounts shall, to the extent not inconsistent with the notations made by the Administrative Agent in the Register, be conclusive and binding on Borrower absent manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender to maintain such account or accounts or any error in any such account shall not limit or otherwise affect any obligations of Borrower.

(ii) Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender, as applicable, a promissory note (a “Note”) substantially in the form of Exhibit B payable to such Lender in an amount equal to such Lender’s Loan evidencing the Loan made by such Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to such Lender’s Notes (or on any continuation of such grid), which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the outstanding principal amount of, and the interest rate applicable to the Loan evidenced thereby. Such notations shall, to the extent not inconsistent with any Borrowing Request and Deemed Loans (or, in the absence of which, the notations made by the Administrative Agent in the Register), be conclusive and binding on Borrower absent manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender to make any such notations or any error in any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any obligations of Borrower. A Note and the obligation evidenced thereby may be assigned or otherwise transferred in whole or in part only in accordance with Section 10.04(b).

Section 2.06

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

Prepayment of the Loan.

(a) Optional Prepayments. Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent stating the prepayment date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, to prepay any Loan in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section 2.06. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) shall be accompanied by the Prepayment Premium (if any) with respect to the principal amount of the Loan being prepaid. Each partial prepayment of any Loan under this Section 2.06(a) shall be in an aggregate amount at least equal to $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amount as may be necessary to prepay the aggregate principal amount then outstanding with respect to such Loan). No prepayment under Section 2.06(b) shall constitute a voluntary prepayment under this Section 2.06(a).

(b) Mandatory Prepayments and Offers to Prepay.

(i) Excess Cash Flow Sweep. Beginning with the Quarterly Date occurring after the Term Conversion Date and each Quarterly Date thereafter, Borrower shall offer to prepay the Loans of each Lender in an amount equal to such Lender’s pro rata share of the ECF Sweep Amount within three (3) Business Days of each such Quarterly Date, accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and a calculation as to the ECF Sweep Amount (which calculation shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) (each such offer to prepay referred to in this clause (i), an “ECF Prepayment Offer”).

(i) All partial prepayments of the Loans shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the Loan of all Lenders, provided that such pro rata allocation shall, in the case of Section 2.06(b)(i) only occur in respect of the Lenders who have accepted their respective applicable ECF Prepayment Offers.

(ii) Each prepayment of Loans shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, the Prepayment Premium (other than in the case of Section 2.06(b)(i) above) and any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.11.

(iii) No later than ten (10) Business Days after receiving an ECF Prepayment Offer (the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day-period, the “Prepayment Offer Deadline”), each Lender shall advise Borrower in writing whether it has elected to accept such prepayment offer, which it shall determine in its sole discretion; provided that any Lender which shall fail to so advise Borrower by the Prepayment Offer Deadline shall have been deemed to have accepted such prepayment offer. Each of the Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to accept or reject its pro rata portion of the prepayment offer by Borrower. Borrower shall have no obligation to prepay any amounts in respect of any declining Lender’s pro rata portion of the prepayment offer.

(iv) It is understood and agreed that if the Obligations are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their maturity date, in each case, in respect of any Event of Default (including, but not limited to, upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), the Prepayment Premium that would have applied if, at the time of such acceleration, Borrower had prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced any or all of the Loan as contemplated in Section 2.06(a) (any such event, a “Prepayment Premium Event”), will also be due and payable without any further action (including any notice requirements otherwise applicable to Prepayment Premium Events, if any) as though a Prepayment Premium Event had occurred and such Prepayment Premium shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any Prepayment Premium payable above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early termination and Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Prepayment Premium shall also be payable in the event the Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. EACH LOAN PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS, OR MAY PROHIBIT, THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. Each Loan Party expressly agrees (to the fullest extent that each may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders and the Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium; and (D) the Loan Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Section 2.06(c)(iv). Each Loan Party expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium to Lenders as herein described is a material inducement to Lenders to provide the Commitments and make the Loans contemplated hereby. The Borrower acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each Lender has the right to maintain its investment in the Loans free from repayment by the Borrower (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Prepayment Premium by the Borrower, in the event that the Loans are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

(v) Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that Loans of a particular Lender shall be prepaid pursuant to Section 2.06(a) in the order in which such Loans were made or acquired by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.01.

(d) OpCo Senior Extraordinary Receipts Account.

(i) If any OpCo Loan Party receives any amount of any Extraordinary Receipts (other than Extraordinary Receipts described in clause (4) of the definition thereof (to wit, proceeds of Indebtedness)) in an amount less than $1,000,000 in the aggregate, Borrower

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

shall be permitted to cause the OpCo Loan Parties to transfer such amounts in accordance with the OpCo Senior Credit Agreement.

(ii) If any OpCo Loan Party receives any Extraordinary Receipts in an amount equal to or in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate, Borrower shall either:

(A) other than Extraordinary Receipts described in clause (4) of the definition thereof (to wit, proceeds of Indebtedness), submit to Administrative Agent and Lenders a Reinvestment Notice setting forth, in reasonable detail, a reinvestment plan in respect of such Extraordinary Receipts (such plan, a “Reinvestment Plan”) within the earlier of (x) fifteen (15) days following the receipt by the OpCo Loan Parties of such Extraordinary Receipts and (y) forty-five (45) days following the Disposition or Event of Loss, as applicable; or

(B) cause the OpCo Loan Parties to use the proceeds of such Extraordinary Receipts to repay the OpCo Senior Loans in accordance with Section 2.06(b) of the OpCo Senior Credit Agreement or any OpCo Senior Replacement Credit Agreement.

(iii) If the events in clause (ii)(A) above occur and the Administrative Agent approves the applicable Reinvestment Plan (at the direction of the Required Lenders, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), then Borrower shall be permitted to cause the OpCo Loan Parties to cause such Extraordinary Receipts to be transferred from the OpCo Senior Extraordinary Receipts Account from time to time to use in accordance with such Reinvestment Plan. In the event any Reinvestment Plan is not approved by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Borrower may elect to re-submit Reinvestment Plans until a Reinvestment Plan is approved or to use the proceeds of such Extraordinary Receipts to repay the OpCo Senior Loans in accordance with Section 2.06(b) of the OpCo Senior Credit Agreement or any OpCo Senior Replacement Credit Agreement, as applicable; provided that, Borrower shall not be permitted to re-submit the Reinvestment Notice following the date on which the Administrative Agent has rejected the third (3^rd) Reinvestment Notice submitted by the Borrower.

(iv) If funds remain on deposit in the OpCo Senior Extraordinary Receipts Account following Borrower’s certification to Administrative Agent of the OpCo Loan Parties’ completion of the reinvestment activities described in such Reinvestment Plan, Borrower shall promptly cause the OpCo Loan Parties to cause such funds to be transferred in accordance with the OpCo Senior Credit Agreement or any OpCo Senior Replacement Credit Agreement.

(d) Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The computation of interest shall be determined by the Administrative Agent and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

(e) Payment in Kind. In the event that, on any Quarterly Date (other than a Quarterly Date on which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), the portion of the interest paid to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) under Section 5.29(a)(ii)(F) is not sufficient to pay the interest due and payable pursuant to Section 2.08(c), Borrower may pay up to the full amount of such insufficiency in kind (in lieu of payment in cash) on each applicable Quarterly Date, by written election of Borrower to the Administrative Agent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such Quarterly Date. The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall be automatically increased on each such Quarterly Date by the amount of such interest paid in kind. For the avoidance of doubt, any portion of the Interest Rate not paid in kind shall be paid in cash.

(f) Miscellaneous. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) on each Quarterly Date prior to the Maturity Date, any interest on the Loan then due and payable shall be paid, either in cash or in kind, in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) on the Maturity Date, any interest on the Loan then due and payable shall be paid entirely in cash in accordance with this Agreement. All amounts of interest added to the principal of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(e) shall bear interest as provided herein, be payable as provided in Section 2.05 and shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. The Administrative Agent’s determination of the principal amount of the Loan outstanding at any time shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error.

Section 2.09 Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any such requirement imposed by the Board under Regulation D or otherwise) against assets of, deposits with or for account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;

(ii) subject any Agent, any Lender or any other recipient of any payment to be made by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes or Excluded Taxes) on its loan, loan principal, commitments or other obligations or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender any other condition not otherwise contemplated hereunder affecting this Agreement or the Loan made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) to Borrower or to increase the cost to such Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loan made by such Lender to a level below that which

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of a Lender setting forth calculations in reasonable detail of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its respective holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.09(a) or Section 2.09(b) shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Promptly after any Lender has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.09, such Lender shall notify Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.09 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than ninety (90) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the ninety (90)-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.10 [Reserved].

Section 2.11 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Financing Document shall be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for any Taxes; provided that if such Loan Party (or the applicable withholding agent) shall be required by law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) to the extent such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required withholdings and deductions (including withholdings and deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make or shall cause to be made such withholdings and deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay or shall cause to be paid the full amount withheld and deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower shall timely pay or cause to be paid any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c) Indemnification by Borrower. Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify or cause to be indemnified the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section but without duplication of any amounts indemnified under Section 2.11(a)) paid or payable by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by the Collateral Agent or a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the relevant Loan Party shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably.

(e) Forms. (i) Any of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender (including any assignee Lender) that is legally entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which Borrower is located with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times reasonably requested in writing by Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, if reasonably requested in writing by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding tax. Upon the reasonable written request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent, or if any form or certification previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate, any Lender shall update any such form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.11(e). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding three sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense (or, in the case of a Change in Law, any incremental material unreimbursed cost or expense) or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a US Person,

(A) any Lender that is a US Person shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

(B) any Lender who is not a US Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I) in the case of a Lender who is not a US Person claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under this Agreement or any Transaction Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement or any Transaction Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(II) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(III) in the case of a Lender who is not a US Person claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(IV) to the extent a Lender who is not a US Person is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if such Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.

(f) If the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11, it shall pay over such refund to Borrower, net of all of its out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes with respect to such refund) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

Collateral Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, in the event the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.11(f), in no event will the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.11(f) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lender, as the case may be, in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.11(f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(g) If a payment made to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Person’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Loans and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Documents.

Section 2.12 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) Payments by Borrower. Unless otherwise specified, Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder, or by way of transfer from Depositary Bank, (whether of principal, interest, fees, or under Section 2.09 or 2.11, or otherwise) or under any other Financing Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Agent and Lender to the accounts specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower on or

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

after the Closing Date, except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Financing Document and payments pursuant to Sections 2.11, 2.12 and 10.03, which shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto, in each case subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it in like funds as received for account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly (and in any case not more than one (1) Business Day) following receipt thereof. Payments to each Lender shall be made to such Lender in accordance with its Administrative Questionnaire. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the immediately preceding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All amounts owing under this Agreement or under any other Financing Document are payable in Dollars.

(b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest, fees and other amounts (except for the amounts required to be paid pursuant to the following clause (ii)) then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest, fees and such other amounts then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) the Loan shall be made from the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments under Section 2.04 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective applicable Commitments; (ii) except as provided in Section 2.06(c), each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loan by Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loan held by them being paid or prepaid; and (iii) each payment of interest on the Loan by Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders (except, in the case of prepayments under Section 2.06(b), for Lenders not receiving a principal repayment thereunder), pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on the Loan then due and payable to the respective Lenders.

(d) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment or recover any amount in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loan resulting in such Lender receiving a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of the Loan and accrued interest thereon then due than the proportion received by any other Lender, then, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Lenders, the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loan; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.12(d) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loan to any

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

assignee or Participant, other than to Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.12(d) shall apply), provided further that no Lender shall be required to purchase a participation from a Lender rejecting its option to receive prepayments under Section 2.06(b) to the extent disproportionality results from the rejecting Lender’s election under Section 2.06(b). Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

(e) Presumptions of Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due to them. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment within one (1) Business Day after such due date, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(f) Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.03, 2.12(e) or 10.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.13 Change of Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.09, or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.11 then such Lender shall (i) file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by Borrower and/or (ii) use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loan hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the sole judgment of such Lender exercised in good faith, such designation or assignment (x) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.11, as the case may be, in the future and (y) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Section 2.14 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Financing Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Financing Document, to the extent

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Section 2.15 Reimbursement Obligations under Lender Credit Support Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Financing Document, Borrower’s obligation to make any payments in respect of any Deemed Loan (whether principal, interest, fees, premiums or otherwise) shall not be duplicative of any corresponding obligation to reimburse an obligation in respect of any Lender Credit Support Document giving rise to such Deemed Loan (whether principal, interest, fees, premiums or otherwise).

Section 2.16 Lender Joinder. Each of the parties hereto expect that, on or prior to the OpCo Tranche A Funding Date, one or more Persons shall accede to this Agreement as a Lender pursuant to one or more Lender Joinders delivered pursuant to Section 4.02(p), and each such Person shall thereafter perform, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, all of its respective obligations which by the terms of the Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender (including the obligations set forth in this Article II).

(a) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints each Agent to act on its behalf as its agent hereunder and under the other Financing Documents and authorizes each Agent in such capacity, to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to it by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Agent, by executing this Agreement, hereby accepts such appointment. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders (other than the express rights of Borrower under Section 8.07), and none of the Loan Parties shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

(b) Each Agent is hereby authorized to execute, deliver and perform each of the Financing Documents to which such Agent is intended to be a party. Each Agent hereby agrees, and each Lender hereby authorizes such Agent, to enter into the amendments and other modifications of the Security Documents (subject to Section 10.02(b)).

Section 8.02 Rights as a Lender. Each Agent shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any of Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

Section 8.03 Duties of Agent; Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Financing Documents. All communications, notices, financial statements, projections, reports and other information received by any Agent in relation to Financing Documents must be provided to each Lender within one (1) Business Day after receipt. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent (a) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Financing Documents that such Agent is required to exercise, and (c) shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Financing Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the financial institution serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Lenders or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable decision. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by Borrower or a Lender, and no Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Financing Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein or therein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

Section 8.04 Reliance by Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 8.05 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as well as activities as each Agent.

Section 8.06

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

Withholding of Taxes by the Administrative Agent; Indemnification. To the extent required by any Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Taxes. If any Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Taxes from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Taxes ineffective or for any other reason, or if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding tax from such payment, such Lender shall promptly indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Administrative Agent as Taxes or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to such Person (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Person’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Person, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Financing Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Financing Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.06.

Section 8.07 Resignation of Agent. Each Agent may resign at any time upon thirty days’ notice by notifying the Lenders and Borrower, and any Agent may be removed at any time by the Required Lenders (with a prior written notice to Borrower). Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and approved by Borrower and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation or after the Administrative Agent’s removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender with an office in New York, New York, an Affiliate of a Lender or a financial institution with an office in New York, New York having a combined capital and surplus that is not less than $250,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 8.07). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.

Section 8.08

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

Non-Reliance on Agent or Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, the Affiliates of any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, the Affiliates of any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 8.09 No Other Duties; Etc. The parties agree that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any obligations, liability or responsibility under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and that none of the Agents shall have any obligations, liabilities or responsibilities except for those expressly set forth herein and in the other Financing Documents. The Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights (including indemnification rights), powers, benefits, privileges, exculpations, protections and immunities granted to the Collateral Agent under the other Financing Documents, all of which are incorporated herein mutatis mutandis.

(i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more employee benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA) in connection with the Loans or the Commitments;

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement; or

(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(b) In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has not provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of Borrower or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Financing Document or any documents related to hereto or thereto).

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

(in the case of Pledgor, subject to Section 9.07) under this guaranty shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Guarantor can be liable without rendering this guaranty or any other Financing Document, as it relates to such Guarantor void or voidable under Applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer.

Section 9.02 Guaranty Unconditional. The Guaranteed Obligations shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(g) the failure of any Material Project Counterparty to make payments owed to any Loan Party; or

(h) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Loan Party, any Secured Party or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section 9.02, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of any Loan Party under the Financing Documents.

Section 9.03 Discharge Only Upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. The Guaranteed Obligations shall remain in full force and effect until all of Borrower’s obligations under the Financing Documents shall have been paid or otherwise performed in full and all of the Commitments shall have terminated.

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or similar event of any Loan Party or any other Person or otherwise, then the Guaranteed Obligations with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law: (i) notice of acceptance of the guaranty provided in this Article IX and notice of any liability to which this guaranty may apply, (ii) all notices that may be required by Applicable Law or otherwise to preserve intact any rights of any Secured Party against any Loan Party, including any demand, presentment, protest, proof of notice of non-payment, notice of any failure on the part of any Loan Party to perform and comply with any covenant, agreement, term, condition or provision of any agreement and any other notice to any other party that may be liable in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any Loan Party) except any of the foregoing as may be expressly required hereunder, (iii) any right to the enforcement, assertion or exercise by any Secured Party of any right, power, privilege or remedy conferred upon such Person under the Financing Documents or otherwise and (iv) any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power, privilege or remedy, or mitigate any damages resulting from a default, under any Financing Document, or proceed to take any action against any Collateral or against any Loan Party or any other Person under or in respect of any Financing Document or otherwise, or protect, secure, perfect or ensure any Lien on any Collateral.

(b) Each Guarantor agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and each holder of any Guaranteed Obligations may demand payment of, enforce and recover from each Guarantor or any other Person obligated for any or all of such Guaranteed Obligations in any order and in any manner whatsoever, without any requirement that the Administrative Agent or such holder seek to recover from any particular Guarantor or other Person first or each Guarantor or other Persons pro rata or on any other basis.

Section 9.05 Subrogation. Upon any Guarantor making any payment under this Article IX, such Guarantor, as applicable, shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against Borrower with respect to such obligation; provided that no Guarantor shall enforce any payment by way of subrogation, indemnity, contribution or otherwise, or exercise any other right, against any other Loan Party (or otherwise benefit from any payment or other transfer arising from any such right) so long as any obligations under the Financing Documents (other than on-going but not yet incurred indemnity obligations) remain unpaid and/or unsatisfied.

Section 10.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Financing Document and no course of dealing between any Loan Party, or any of Borrower’s Affiliates, on the one hand, and any Agent or Lender on the other hand, shall impair any such right, power or privilege or operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Financing Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Financing Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which any party thereto would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

(b) Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document (other than any Agent Reimbursement Letter and any fee letter between one or more Loan Parties and a Lender, each of which may be waived, amended or modified by the parties thereto in accordance with the terms thereof), and no consent to any departure by Borrower shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and Borrower; provided that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(ii) increase the aggregate amount of any Loans required to be made by any Lender pursuant to its Commitments, extend the Availability Period of Loans made by a Lender, extend any Maturity Date for any Lender’s Loan, extend the maturity of any scheduled principal payment date, or reduce any fees described in Article II payable to any Lender, in each case without the consent of such Lender (it being agreed, however, that any vote to rescind any acceleration made pursuant to Article VII of amounts owing with respect to the Loans and other Obligations shall only require the vote of the Required Lenders) (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitments of any Lender);

(iii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of or reduce the rate of interest on any Lender’s Loan or extend the date on which interest, fees, or premium are payable to any Lender, in each case without the consent of such Lender (provided that, the vote of Required Lenders shall be sufficient to waive the payment, or reduce the increased portion, of interest accruing under Section 2.08(b));

filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by any Security Document or any other document referred to therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the costs and expenses reimbursable pursuant to this Section 10.03(a)(i) shall be subject to the limitations set forth in the Agent Reimbursement Letter.

(ii) [Reserved].

(b) Indemnification by Borrower. Each Loan Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Agents and the Lenders and their affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, administrative agents, attorneys-in-fact and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (other than Excluded Taxes, Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject related to or arising out of any transaction contemplated by the Financing Documents or the execution, delivery and performance of the Financing Documents or any other document in any way relating to the Financing Documents and the transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents (including, for avoidance of doubt, any liabilities arising under or in connection with Environmental Law) and will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket external counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection therewith. Borrower will not be liable under the foregoing indemnification provision to an Indemnified Party to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (x) is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly and primarily from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or (y) is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from disputes among Indemnified Parties (other than any claims arising out of any act or omission on the part of any Loan Party or its respective Affiliates). Borrower also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to it, or any of its security holders or creditors related to or arising out of the execution, delivery and performance of any Financing Document or any other document in any way relating to the Financing Documents or the other transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents, except to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or liability is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court to have resulted directly and primarily from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable decision. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Borrower shall not assert and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any Financing Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(c) Indemnification by Lenders. To the extent that Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid to any Agent, their affiliates or agents under Section 10.03(a) or Section 10.03(b), each Lender severally agrees to pay ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the Loan held by the Lender to such Agent, affiliate or agent such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent, affiliate or agent in its capacity as such.

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

(d) Settlements; Appearances in Actions. Borrower agrees that, without each Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, it will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification could be sought by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party under this Section (whether or not any Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding. In the event that an Indemnified Party is requested or required to appear as a witness in any action brought by or on behalf of or against Borrower or any Affiliate thereof in which such Indemnified Party is not named as a defendant, Borrower agrees to reimburse such Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses incurred by it in connection with such Indemnified Party’s appearing and preparing to appear as such a witness, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of its external legal counsel. In the case of any claim brought against an Indemnified Party for which Borrower may be responsible under this Section 10.03, the Agents and Lenders agree (at the expense of Borrower) to execute such instruments and documents and cooperate as reasonably requested by Borrower in connection with Borrower’s defense, settlement or compromise of such claim, action or proceeding.

Section 10.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Assignments Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Loan Parties may not assign or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly, any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Financing Document without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by such Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly, any of its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 10.04. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in Section 10.04(f)) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnified Parties referred to in Section 10.03(b) and the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loan at the time owing to it); provided that:

(i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender, the amount of the Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $500,000 unless Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent;

(ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender, the Administrative Agent must give its prior written consent to such assignment, in each case not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

(iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(iv) except in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate, the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;

(v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and

(vi) the Borrower’s consent shall be required if the assignee is (x) a direct competitor of ExxonMobil (or any Person that owns, directly or indirectly, at least majority of the Capital Stock of any such direct competitor) or (y) any Person whose primary investment strategy is purchasing credits of companies in financial distress, including any such Person that is or would reasonably be recognized or categorized as a vulture fund by reputable institutions that are participants in the financial markets;

provided further that any consent of Borrower otherwise required under this clause (b) shall not be required if any Event of Default under paragraphs (a), (b) or, solely with respect to Borrower, (f) has occurred and is continuing and shall be deemed given if Borrower has not responded to a request for such consent within five (5) Business Days of the request. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to Section 10.04(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12 and 10.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.04(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.04(f).

(c) Maintenance of Register by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, principal amount of the Loan owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time and the amount of any Accrued Interest owing from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Administrative Agent shall give to any Lender promptly upon request therefor, a complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered Lenders.

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

(d) Effectiveness of Assignments. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 10.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 10.04(d).

(e) Limitations on Rights of Assignees. An assignee Lender shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.11 or 2.12 than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the interest assigned to such assignee (based on the circumstances existing at the time of the assignment), unless Borrower’s prior written consent has been obtained therefor.

(f) Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents (including all or a portion of the Loan owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document; provided that, such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.04(g), Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11 and 2.12 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.04(b). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Financing Documents held by it (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loan or its other obligations under any Financing Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such participation complies with this Section 10.04 and that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations (or any amended or successor version thereof). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(g) Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.11 or 2.12 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless (i) the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent, or (ii) such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.11 unless the Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 2.11(e) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.11(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).

(h) Certain Pledges.

(i) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank, the European Central Bank or any other central bank or similar monetary authority in the jurisdiction of such Lender, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto; and provided further that any payment in respect of such pledge or assignment made by any Loan Party to or for the account of the pledging or assigning Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy such Loan Party’s obligations hereunder in respect of such pledged or assigned Loan to the extent of such payment.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may, without informing, consulting with or obtaining the consent of any other party to the Financing Documents and without formality under any Financing Documents, assign by way of security, mortgage, charge or otherwise create security by any means over, its rights under any Financing Document to secure the obligations of that Lender to any Person that would be a permitted assignee (without the consent of Borrower or any Agent) pursuant to Section 10.04(b) including (A) to the benefit of any of its Affiliates and/or (B) within the framework of its, or its Affiliates, direct or indirect funding operations.

(i) No Assignments to Borrower or Affiliates. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to any Loan Party or any Affiliate of Borrower without the prior written consent of each other Lender.

Section 10.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loan, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid. The provisions of Sections 2.09, 2.11, 2.12, 10.03, 10.05, 10.12, 10.13, 10.14, 10.15 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loan, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Financing Documents to which a Loan Party is party constitute the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopy or scanned electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 10.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and any of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held, and any other indebtedness at any time owing, by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any of and all the obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured or denominated in a currency other than Dollars. The rights of each Lender or any such Affiliate under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

Section 10.10

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Financing Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Financing Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States).

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Financing Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Financing Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 10.10, the following terms have the following meanings:

(i) “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such part.

(ii) “Covered Entity” means any of the following:

(A) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §252.82(b);

101

Bakersfield Refinery - HoldCo Credit Agreement

Financing Document to which each Loan Party is a party, and any certificate, notice, instrument or document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, are obligations solely of such Loan Party and do not constitute a debt, liability or obligation of (and no recourse shall be made with respect to) any of their respective Affiliates (including Sponsor and its Affiliates (other than any Loan Party)), or any shareholder, partner, member, officer, director or employee of the Loan Parties or such Affiliates (collectively, the “Non-Recourse Parties”), except that the foregoing shall not limit the obligations or liabilities of any Non-Recourse Party under any Financing Document to which such Non-Recourse Party is a party. No action under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Financing Document to which each Loan Party is a party shall be brought against any Non-Recourse Party, and no judgment for any deficiency upon the obligations hereunder or thereunder shall be obtainable by any Secured Party against any Non-Recourse Party, except that the foregoing shall not limit the obligations or liabilities of any Non-Recourse Party under any Financing Document to which such Non-Recourse Party is a party. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that nothing contained in this Section shall in any manner or way (i) restrict the remedies available to any Agent or Lender to realize upon the Collateral or under any Financing Document, or constitute or be deemed to be a release of the obligations secured by (or impair the enforceability of) the Liens and security interests and possessory rights created by or arising from any Financing Document or (ii) release, or be deemed to release, any Non-Recourse Party from liability for its own willful misrepresentation, fraudulent actions, gross negligence or willful misconduct or from any of its obligations or liabilities under any Financing Document to which such Non-Recourse Party is a party.

Section 10.15 Reinstatement. The obligations of Borrower under this Agreement shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of Borrower in respect of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Secured Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in Bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and Borrower agrees that it will indemnify each Secured Party on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of external counsel) incurred by such Secured Party in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any Bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

Section 10.16 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “USA PATRIOT Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of
