Section 5.03 Pick Up.
(a) Within 25 business days after the Closing Date, Seller shall, at Seller’s expense, disconnect the Purchased Assets from all electrical, water, steam, gas and other utility lines. Seller shall provide five business days’ notice to Buyer of the date(s) when disconnections will commence and Buyer shall have the right to have personnel on site to observe the disconnection work. If, however, Buyer’s Representatives are not available on the scheduled dates, Seller may proceed with its disconnection work. When this work is complete, Seller shall notify Buyer (the “Removal Commencement Notice”) that Buyer may commence dismantling and removing the Purchased Assets from the portion of Seller’s Bayonne, New Jersey facility depicted on Exhibit I (the “Seller’s Site”).
(b) Following delivery of the Removal Commencement Notice to Buyer, Seller shall grant Buyer and its agents reasonable access to the Seller’s Site during normal business hours to disassemble, stage and remove the Purchased Assets, and Seller shall cooperate in good faith with Buyer’s designated logistics provider to facilitate safe and timely removal. During this removal process, Seller will provide Buyer’s contractors with the use of Seller’s gantry cranes if needed in the removal. During periods of Buyer’s access for crating and removal operations, and at Buyer’s reasonable request with reasonable advance notice, Seller shall make available its relevant technical personnel at Seller’s Site for the purpose of assisting with real-time logistical issues and facilitating safe and orderly removal of the Purchased Assets. Buyer shall, at the Buyer’s expense, promptly repair any damage to Seller’s Site or any equipment therein caused by Buyer’s removal activities.
(c) Buyer shall be responsible, at ▇▇▇▇▇’s expense, for making all necessary arrangements to have the Purchased Assets (i) packed, crated, and otherwise prepared for removal from Seller’s Site, and (ii) removed from the Seller’s Site. Seller will provide an out-of-doors temporary lay-down area for temporary storage of the components of the Purchased Assets during the removal process. Buyer shall be entitled, with ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s prior written consent not to be unreasonably withheld, to make temporary modifications to the structure of Seller’s buildings at Seller’s Site to the extent reasonably necessary to access and remove the Purchased Assets. Buyer must, however, restore Seller’s buildings to their condition prior to the modification once Buyer completes removal of the Purchased Assets. Upon determining that such a modification is necessary, Buyer shall submit a written request for Seller’s consent which shall include a description of the proposed modifications and a good faith estimate of their cost (the “Estimated Restoration Cost”) of restoring such structures to their condition before Buyer’s modification. If Seller provides the requisite consent, Buyer will deposit the Estimated Restoration Cost with Seller (the “Restoration Deposit”) to be released by Seller to Buyer once Buyer has completed the required restoration work to Seller’s reasonable satisfaction. If Buyer fails to complete the required restoration work to Seller’s reasonable satisfaction prior to expiration of the deadline for completing the Pick Up in Section 5.03(d), Seller may perform the required restoration work and deduct the cost from the Restoration Deposit provided, however, that (i) if Seller’s cost of completing the required restoration work is less than the Restoration Deposit, Seller shall return the unused portion of the Restoration Deposit to Buyer within 30 days of competing the required restoration work and (ii) if Seller’s cost of completing the required restoration work is more than the Restoration Deposit, Buyer shall pay the cost in excess of the Restoration Deposit to Seller within 30 days of receiving Seller’s invoice for such amount, accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to minimize the cost and structural impact of any modification of Seller’s buildings.

(d) Buyer shall be entitled to complete the physical removal and pickup of the Purchased Assets (the “Pick Up”) within a period of up to 90 days following ▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of the Removal Commencement Notice and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to do so as promptly as practicable. If Buyer fails to complete removal of all of the Purchased Assets by such deadline or fails to clean up and remove any resulting debris or waste materials at Seller’s Site, Seller may, without payment to Buyer, dispose of the remaining unremoved Purchased Assets and any debris or waste materials left by Buyer, and ▇▇▇▇▇ shall reimburse Seller for any resulting costs incurred within 30 days of receiving Seller’s invoice for such costs.
(e) Risk of loss for the Purchased Assets shall transfer to Buyer at 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Any damage to or loss of the Purchased Assets suffered on or after the Closing Date shall, even if caused by Seller or its Affiliates or contractors, be Buyer’s responsibility, except to the extent caused by (i) the willful misconduct of Seller or its Affiliates or Representatives or (ii) to the extent the resulting damage was not covered by Buyer’s insurance, the gross negligence of Seller or its Affiliates or Representatives. In the event of damage to or loss of the Purchased Assets while at Seller’s Site following on or after the Closing Date, ▇▇▇▇▇’s sole recourse shall be against its own insurance except as provided in the preceding sentence.
Section 5.04 Maintenance of Insurance. Buyer, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain the insurance described on Exhibit F (the “Required Insurance”) commencing on the Closing Date and continuing through the date upon which Buyer completes the Pick Up and related removal of waste and debris from Seller’s Site in accordance with Section 5.03. Buyer shall provide certificates of insurance evidencing the Required Insurance to Seller before accessing Seller’s Site and shall provide updated certificates of insurance as necessary to evidence the Required Insurance throughout the required coverage period.
Section 5.05 Seller Site Activities. Buyer shall cause each of its contractors who enter Seller’s Site to work on removal of the Purchased Assets to comply with all rules and regulations imposed by Seller concerning access, work hours, non-interference with Seller’s and its Affiliates’ other business activities, and other matters reasonably required by Seller. Buyer shall further cause each such contractor to execute and deliver Seller’s access agreement attached as Exhibit G.

If, during Buyer’s removal of the Purchased Assets from Seller’s Site, Buyer or its contractors damage Seller’s Site or the equipment of Seller or its Affiliates (which does not include the Purchased Assets) or injure or kill any of Seller’s, its Affiliates’, or Buyer’s employees or contractors, Buyer shall indemnify Seller and its Affiliates against any resulting Losses (“Removal Related Claims”) under ARTICLE VI below.
Section 5.07 Further Assurances. Following the Closing, each of the Parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances, and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

| c. | In any jurisdiction wherein a provision (or a contract containing a provision) requiring Company to indemnify IMTT Group against the consequences of the negligence of IMTT Group would be void or unenforceable, the foregoing indemnification provisions of this Section 9 shall be deemed to apply only to such matters, excluding the negligence of IMTT, as may be validly indemnified against in any such jurisdiction. |
| 10. | Company shall meet the insurance requirements as specified in Exhibit A of this Agreement. |

EXHIBIT A - INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
| 8. | During all periods that any member of Company Personnel is on or at the Facilities, Company shall procure, pay for at its sole expense, and maintain in full force and effect throughout the term of the Agreement the coverages listed below. All policies shall be written by insurance companies that have a financial rating of “A” or better according to “Best’s Key Rating Guide.” Company shall provide a copy of their current insurance certificate evidencing the minimum amounts in accordance with the specifications and requirements as follows: |
| g. | Commercial General Liability insurance, which shall include coverage for Contractual Liability (Endorsements such as ISO Form CG 21 39 10 93 Contractual Liability Limitation or similar type endorsements are not acceptable), of at least $2,000,000 per occurrence. |
| h. | Commercial Automobile Liability insurance covering all owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles with a single limit for bodily injury and property damage liability of at least $1,000,000 per accident or occurrence. |
| i. | Workers’ Compensation and Employer’s Liability insurance covering employees engaged in operations hereunder in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws, including Workers’ Compensation insurance as required by law and Employer’s Liability insurance of at least $1,000,000. |
| j. | It is acceptable to provide the total required limits above through a combination of primary and excess insurance coverage limits. |
| 9. | Before entering the Facilities, Company shall furnish IMTT an executed Certificate of Insurance evidencing the Company’s insurance on a form satisfactory to IMTT. Company shall cause each insurer to agree to give IMTT at least thirty (30) days’ notice of cancellation of such policies. Upon receipt of any notice of cancellation, or if IMTT otherwise becomes aware of a material change or cancellation of such policies, IMTT shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement and revoke any Right of Access. IMTT’s failure to notice or object to a nonconforming certificate shall not be a waiver of its rights to insist on correct coverage. |
| 10. | All insurance policies of Company that are directly related to the Right of Access and required by this Agreement shall: |
| d. | List IMTT Group as an additional insured (except for worker’s compensation) with such additional insured coverage including coverage for the sole or concurrent negligence of the additional insured and not being restricted to (i) “ongoing operations,” (ii) coverage for vicarious liability, or (iii) circumstances in which the named insured is partially negligent); |
| e. | Waive subrogation as to IMTT Group; and |
| f. | Be primary and non-contributory to any insurance of IMTT Group. |
| 11. | The provisions of this Exhibit A and the limits and coverages of any insurance obtained by Company shall in no way limit any indemnity obligations of Company. |
| 12. | Although the scope of the Parties’ insurance obligations is defined by reference to the risks and liabilities assumed under this Agreement, the insurance provisions of this Agreement are within that scope, to the extent required to maximize their effectiveness: (a) separately and independently enforceable and (b) distinct and severable from any release, defense, hold harmless, or indemnity obligations in the Agreement. |
| 13. | Any questions on these requirements can be emailed to IMTT’s Risk Management Group at ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇. Email is the preferred mode of communication. |
