Article 2. Premises and Uses.

2.1 Facilities.

(a) Lessor owns and/or leases the Facilities described on Exhibit A-1. To the extent Lessor leases the Facilities, Lessee acknowledges this Agreement is deemed a “sublease” and is therefore further subject to the applicable lease agreement, which may be amended or revised from time to time, described in Exhibit A-3 describing Parsons, TN, Catoosa, OK; Ardmore, OK; El Dorado, KS (each applicable lease agreement referred to as an “Underlying Lease”). The lessor under an Underlying Lease is referred to herein as the “Underlying Lessor.” References to Underlying Lessor and the rights and obligations of

Underlying Lessor shall only apply at the respective subleased locations of Parsons, TN, Catoosa, OK; Ardmore, OK; El Dorado, KS. Lessee shall strictly comply with all rights and obligations set forth in any applicable Underlying Lease. Lessor shall not voluntarily terminate any Underlying Lease without Lessee’s prior written consent and shall consult with Lessee regarding any renewals of any Underlying Lease. If for any reason the term of any Underlying Lease shall terminate prior to the expiration or termination of the Term and the Parties are not otherwise able to procure the continuing use of the property covered by the Underlying Lease from the applicable Underlying Lessor (“Continuing Sublease Rights”), then this Agreement shall be automatically terminated with respect to the Facility covered by such Underlying Lease and the fees set forth in Exhibit B shall be equitably adjusted to reflect the partial termination as to such Facility.

(b) Lessee shall have the rights of Lessor under the Rail Leases, and Lessee shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Rail Leases and perform all obligations of Lessor as lessee under each of the Rail Leases which accrue during the Term (but not any obligations which survive the termination of any Rail Lease which is terminated prior to the expiration of the Term), except that Lessor shall be obligated to timely pay rents or other sums due thereunder so long as Lessee pays all rent due under this Agreement. Lessee agrees to indemnify Lessor, and hold Lessor harmless, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses, and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred as a result of Lessee’s non-performance or non-observance of any of Lessor’s obligations as lessee under the Rail Leases which, as a result of this Agreement, became an obligation of Lessee. If Lessee makes any payment to Lessor pursuant to this indemnity, Lessee shall be subrogated to the rights of Lessor concerning such payment. Lessee shall not do, nor permit to be done, any act or thing which is, or with notice or the passage of time would be, a default under the Rail Leases. Lessee shall look solely to the lessors under each of the Rail Leases for all services to be provided by such lessors thereunder and shall not, under any circumstances, seek nor require Lessor to perform any of such services, nor shall Lessee make any claim upon Lessor for any damages which may arise by reason of any such lessor’s default under the Rail Leases. However, Lessor shall reasonably cooperate with Lessee to exercise or enable Lessee to exercise any rights or remedies available to enforce each Rail Lease for Lessee’s benefit in the event of a default by the lessor under each Rail Lease. Lessor agrees to indemnify Lessee, and hold Lessee harmless, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses, and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred as a result of Lessor’s non-performance of its obligations with respect to the Rail Leases as set forth in this paragraph, so long as Lessee has paid all rent due under this Agreement. Lessor shall not do, nor permit to be done, any act or thing which is, or with notice or the passage of time would be, a default under the Rail Leases. Lessor shall not voluntarily terminate any Rail Lease without Lessee’s prior written consent and shall consult with Lessee with respect to any renewals of any Rail Lease. If for any reason the term of any Rail Lease shall terminate prior to the expiration or termination of the Term and the Parties are not otherwise able to procure the continuing use of the property covered by the Rail Lease from the applicable landlord (“Continuing Rail Use Rights”), then Lessee shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to the Facility served by such Rail Lease or continue this Lease in effect, and in either case the fees set forth in Exhibit B shall be equitably adjusted to reflect the partial termination as to such Facility or continuation of the Lease without such rail service.

2.2 For the rentals and upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Lessor agrees to and hereby does lease (including sublease as applicable) the Facilities to Lessee, and Lessee agrees to and hereby does lease (including sublease as applicable) the Facilities from Lessor. This Agreement amends, restates and supersedes the 2009 Agreement and the 2010 Agreements.

2.3 The Facilities include the land, buildings, improvements, asphalt storage, rail track (if present), and processing assets (collectively, the “Premises”) along with the associated: (i) storage, use, and occupancy rights to, of, or in any buildings, fixtures, equipment, or other physical assets on the Premises or hereinafter constructed on the Premises, (ii) necessary rights of ingress, egress, storage, and transportation (including all existing rights to rail service) to, on, or over the Premises for Lessee and Lessee's agents, invitees, customers, or representatives, as reasonably necessary to further Lessee's operations at the Premises, and (iii) right to receive, use, and enjoy public and private utility services at the Premises, to include, but not limited to sewer, water, electricity, fuel, waste disposal, and telephone, all at Lessee's sole expense; provided, however, subject to Section 8.1, that nothing in this Section 2.3 shall be deemed to vest in Lessor title to any Lessee Improvements. Lessee may use the Premises for the uses permitted hereunder and for no other purpose unless agreed to in writing by the Parties.

2.4 Lessee accepts the Facilities on the Commencement Date of the Term of this Agreement AS-IS, WHERE-IS, and without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including, but not limited to, any warranty of habitability, suitability, or fitness for a particular purpose; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not constitute a waiver by Lessee of Lessor’s obligations with respect to, or Lessee’s acceptance of, any maintenance or repair items existing as of the Effective Date.

2.5 The Facilities are to be used for the receipt, storage, manufacturing, blending, shipping and delivery of Products and all purposes reasonably related thereto. No other uses are allowed without Lessor’s prior written approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

2.6 No water rights or mineral rights of any type are conveyed to Lessee by this Agreement. Water may be used for all ordinary and necessary purposes incident to operation of the Facilities, including, without limitation for the manufacturing and for the dilution of Products, but for no other purpose without Lessor’s prior written approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Article 3. Term.

This term of this Agreement shall be deemed to have commenced on January 1, 2019 (“Commencement Date”) and shall terminate on December 31, 2023 (the “Term”).

Article 4. Compensation.

4.1 Except as provided elsewhere herein, during the Term of this Agreement, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the fees set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto.

4.2 All fees and charges reflected in Lessor’s invoices are due and payable within thirty (30) days of the date of receipt of Lessor’s invoice. Payment must be made by electronic wire transfer of same day available federal funds to Lessor’s account and bank, both as indicated on Lessor’s invoice. Invoices may be sent by electronic mail and telephone facsimile. Payments that are not disputed and that are not made within the agreed or designated terms shall bear interest from the original due date at the lesser of (i) the rate of 18% per annum and (ii) the highest rate allowed by Applicable Law. If Lessee disputes any portion of an invoice, Lessee must pay the undisputed portion of the invoice as set forth in this Section 4.2. Overdue amounts or disputed amounts that are resolved in favor of the Lessor will accrue interest at the Interest Rate from the date that payment is due until paid in full and Lessee will pay all of Lessor’s reasonable, out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) of collecting past due payments and late payment charges, whether or not suit is brought.

Article 5. Asphalt and Raw Materials.

Lessee shall be solely responsible to furnish all asphalt, related raw materials, and all Products at the Premises, including storage tank heels.

Article 6. Contract Limited to Available Capability and Capacity.

Lessee will only process those qualities, grades, and quantities of Products that are compatible with the processing capabilities of the Premises as of the Effective Date, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. Lessee shall not process at the Facilities any Products or other materials which damage the Facilities or reduce the capacity or capability of the Facilities and, in the event Lessee processes any such Product or material at the Facilities, Lessee shall repair and restore the Facilities to their condition immediately prior to the Commencement Date of this Agreement.

Article 7. Title and Risk of Loss.

Title to asphalt, raw materials, and Products received, unloaded, stored, or otherwise handled at the Premises shall be in the name of Lessee, contractors, or its customers and asphalt, raw materials and Products shall be the sole responsibility of Lessee.

Article 8. Improvements.

8.1 Subject to (i) Lessor's written approval, which approval may relate to design, location, construction methods, and installation procedures and which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (ii) the terms, provisions, and conditions of this Agreement, Lessee may construct or place upon the Premises, at Lessee’s sole expense, improvements required by Lessee (“Lessee Improvements”) for the purpose of furthering Lessee's permitted use of the Premises. Such improvements, if permanently placed or affixed to the Premises, shall become the property of Lessor at termination or expiration of this Agreement (the “Fixed Lessee Improvements”), except as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties. Lessee shall not remove or dispose of any of the leased assets or Fixed Lessee Improvements at the Premises (but expressly excluding all other Lessee Improvements which may be removed at Lessee’s discretion) without the prior written approval of Lessor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Lessee shall notify Lessor within three (3) days of any damage to any part of the Premises. Nothing in this section shall limit Lessee’s right to remove its trade fixtures and moveable equipment installed by Lessee. Lessee shall not impair or negatively impact the original capability of the Facilities.

8.2 Subject to the prior written approval of Lessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, Lessee shall have the right to install and maintain signage at the Leased Premises at Lessee’s sole cost and expense (including but not limited to construction costs, permits, and licensing fees) and in conformity with all Applicable Laws, restrictive covenants, ordinances, rules, and regulations; provided that such signage shall only relate to Lessee’s occupancy of and operations on the Leased Premises. During the Term of this Agreement, Lessee shall maintain any such signage at the Leased Premises in good repair and in compliance with Applicable Laws. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Lessee shall remove all signage and repair and restore any damage to the Premise resulting from the installation or removal of any such signage at Lessee’s sole cost and expense.

Article 9. Confidentiality.

9.1 Confidential Information. The term “Confidential Information” means all nonpublic information, including technical information, trade or business secrets, or the like, disclosed by either Party to the other Party in carrying out the terms and purpose of this Agreement, either directly or indirectly, in writing, orally or by inspection of tangible objects (including without limitation written or printed documents, email correspondence and attachments, electronic files, and computer disks, whether machine or user readable). “Confidential Information” includes, without limitation, information relating to a Party's research, development, trade secrets or business affairs that the Party treats as confidential. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any and all information regarding this Agreement, including without limitation the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be Confidential Information. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lessor acknowledges and agrees that all Volume Reports and the contents thereof submitted pursuant to Section 23.1 constitute Confidential Information. The term “Receiving Party” means a Party that receives Confidential Information of the other Party (“Disclosing Party”).

9.2 Restrictions on Disclosure. The Receiving Party shall maintain in confidence the Confidential Information so received and will not use such information, except to the extent permitted under this Agreement, to the detriment of the Disclosing Party, until such time as the Confidential Information so received enters the public domain other than by the act or omission of the Receiving Party. A Receiving Party shall limit disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to those of its employees, subcontractors, attorneys, agents, and consultants with a need to know the Confidential Information, subject to a nondisclosure obligation comparable in scope to this Article 9. Each Party shall protect the other Party’s Confidential Information using the same degree of care (but no less than a reasonable degree of care) that it uses to protect its own Confidential Information. The obligations imposed by this Section shall be during the Term of this Agreement and for six (6) years thereafter; provided, however, such obligations shall not apply to any Confidential Information that: (i) is or becomes publicly known through no fault of the Receiving Party; (ii) is developed independently by the Receiving Party prior to the date of disclosure; (iii) is obtained by the Receiving Party from a Third Party not known by Receiving Party to be prohibited from disclosing the information without confidentiality restrictions or (iv) as required by Applicable Law or by regulation. A Receiving Party also may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by a court or other Governmental Authority, provided that the Receiving Party, if not legally prohibited from doing so, promptly notifies the Disclosing Party of the disclosure requirement prior to disclosure and cooperates with the Disclosing Party (at the latter’s expense and at its request) to resist or limit the disclosure.

9.3 Injunctive Relief. Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach of the confidentiality obligations set forth herein may result in immediate and irreparable damage to the Disclosing Party for which there may be no adequate remedy at law, and, in such event, the Disclosing Party may seek appropriate injunctive relief. Disclosing Party’s pursuit of any remedy will not constitute a waiver of any other right or remedy available under this Agreement or under Applicable Law.

Article 10. Environmental, Health, Safety, Transportation, and Security.

10.1 Lessee shall use the Premises only for the purpose contemplated by this Agreement and related purposes associated with asphalt facility operations consistent with the Products and Facilities and in compliance with Environmental, Health, Safety, Transportation, and Security Laws.

10.2 Lessee shall not permit the Premises to be used for any unlawful purpose.

10.3 Lessee shall conduct operations on the Premises in compliance with all applicable Environmental, Health, Safety, Transportation, and Security Laws and manage Hazardous Materials on the Premises for which Lessee is responsible hereunder in compliance with all Applicable Laws.

Lessee shall provide Lessor with copies of any reports or monitoring results provided to a Governmental Authority with respect to any such release, spill, or response action no later than five (5) Business Days following the submittal thereof to any Governmental Authority. Furthermore, Lessee also shall provide to Lessor copies of any and all correspondence to or from any Governmental Authority relating to the release, spill, or response action within five (5) Business Days of the date the correspondence is sent or received by Lessee, as applicable. In the event of any spill, Lessee shall remediate any environmental contamination resulting from such spill, and clean or re-skin structures and piping to remove any staining at the Premises caused by such spill.

10.4 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(a) Lessee shall be responsible for complying with any and all notification or reporting requirements under Environmental, Health, Safety, Transportation, and Security Laws arising out of Lessee's use of the Premises; provided, however, that Lessor retains the right but not the obligation to make, after prior written notice to the Lessee, any environmental notification or report required by law and involving the Premises which has not been completely performed or provided by Lessee. Lessee shall keep Lessor fully informed and provide Lessor with documentation pertaining to any notification or reporting under Environmental, Health, Safety, Transportation, and Security Laws applicable to the Premises or Lessee's operations thereon.

(b) Lessee shall, at Lessee's own cost and expense, obtain and maintain in effect during the Term of this Agreement such environmental, health, safety, transportation, and security permits, licenses, plans, approvals, or other such authorizations under Environmental, Health, Safety, Transportation, and Security Laws as are necessary for Lessee to comply with Lessee's duties and obligations under this Agreement, as are necessary for Lessee to comply in all respects with Applicable Law, and as are necessary for Lessee to conduct its operations on the Premises. By way of example, but not limitation, such necessary environmental permits or plans may include, but will not be limited to, Title V and applicable state Air Operating Permits, Spill Prevention Control, Countermeasure Plan, and Facility Response Plan as both plans are set forth in 40 CFR Part 112, U.S. Coast Guard Facility Security Plans, and such other plans or permits that may be required by any and all local, state, and federal agencies. By way of further example, but not limitation, and more specific to requirements under the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure regulations as outlined in 40 CFR Part 112 as applied to above-ground oil storage containers, Lessee shall,

at Lessee's own cost and expense, obtain and maintain in effect during the Term of this Agreement all permits, plans, schedules, testing requirements, tank preparation and cleaning, administrative processes, consultant requirements, procedures, and internal/external tank inspections. Lessee will provide Lessor with all proposed testing schedules and tank inspection methodology in advance of Lessee's implementation of such inspections. Lessee will provide Lessor with copies of all information pertaining to the actual findings of the tank inspections and any other tank integrity information from Lessee's implementation of such tank inspections. In the event any inspections conducted by Lessee or its contractor(s) uncover any probable areas of concern, Lessee shall submit to Lessor a proposed schedule outlining the estimated timing and costs for repair. The cost for any such tank repairs shall be allocated between Lessor and Lessee pursuant to the provisions of Article 15. Lessee will give Lessor written notice and obtain Lessor's prior written approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, for any and all additions or improvements to the Premises requiring a new permit or a permit modification under Environmental, Health, Safety, Transportation, and Security Laws.

Lessee is further obligated to provide Lessor with copies of its response to any such Non-Compliance Notice no later than five (5) Business Days after submittal thereof, fully explaining how the non-compliance matter or required investigation, remedial, or other response action is to be resolved or why Lessee believes that the alleged non-compliance matter or requested action is not accurate or not applicable. Lessee shall continue to provide to Lessor any and all correspondence relating to the Non-Compliance Notice until such time as Lessee demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of Lessor that the Non-Compliance Notice has been resolved.

10.5 Other than the environmental assessments already performed in connection with the 2009 Agreements, without the prior written approval of Lessor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed., Lessee shall not conduct any soil, ground water, surface water, or other similar site investigation, sampling, or monitoring of the Premises, unless so ordered by a Governmental Authority, required by the express terms of any permit for the Premises issued under applicable Environmental, Health, Safety, Transportation and Security Laws, or advised by Lessee’s counsel as immediately necessary due to emergency or exigent circumstances. The Lessor shall make the final determination as to whether any discretionary investigation, monitoring, or sampling is warranted. If so warranted, the Lessor shall have the right to enter the Premises to routinely monitor the Lessee's progress and to ensure that the scope-of-work adheres to that which the Lessor approved. Nothing in this Section 10.5 is intended to be or shall be construed to constitute authority or an exercise of control by Lessor for environmental, health, safety, transportation, or security aspects of Lessee's operations on the Premises, such activities being under the sole control of Lessee.

10.7 At the end of the Term, Lessee shall reasonably cooperate with Lessor to transfer to Lessor or its designee any permits or other authorizations relating to the Premises issued to Lessee under applicable Environmental, Health, Safety, Transportation, and Security Laws; provided, however, if requested by Lessor, instead of transferring a permit or other authorization, Lessee shall at its cost and expense and in compliance with Environmental, Health, Safety, Transportation, and Security Laws initiate and complete any actions required to terminate such permits or other authorization. Lessee's obligation under this Section 10.7 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

10.8 If, at any time during the Term, a complaint is made to Lessor regarding offensive or obnoxious odors emitted from the Product delivered to or stored at a Terminal, or if such Products violate any applicable regulation relating to odor, Lessor shall notify Lessee of such complaint or violation. In such case, Lessee shall investigate and determine the source of the odor, and shall determine the best method to ▇▇▇▇▇ such odor. If reasonable changes to the Product would fully ▇▇▇▇▇ the odor, Lessee shall make such changes and ▇▇▇▇▇ the odor. Lessee shall not permit any Product reasonably known to have excessive potential for odor that may affect the Terminal’s property boundaries to be stored or handled at a Terminal.

Lessee shall be responsible for and shall pay to or reimburse Lessor for the cost of (i) the investigation to determine the cause of such odor, and (ii) the Abatement Equipment ((i) and (ii), the “Abatement Costs”), up to a maximum of $500,000 in the aggregate for each Facility. Lessor shall be responsible for all Abatement Costs in excess of $500,000.

11.2 Lessor's Indemnity to Lessee. Lessor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lessee, Lessee’s Affiliates, and their respective employees, directors, partners, members, representatives, , and agents (“Lessee Indemnitees”) against any and all Liabilities for personal injury, death, property damage, or any other loss or claim to the extent arising out of the acts or omissions of any Lessor Indemnitee while on the Leased Premises or otherwise to the extent in connection with Lessor’s performance under this Agreement, or any matter subject to indemnification by Lessor pursuant to Section 10.6, except that Lessor shall not indemnify or agree to defend Lessee to the extent such Liabilities are caused by the negligence, gross negligence, willful misconduct or Lessee Indemnitees or for Liabilities for which Lessee is indemnifying Lessor pursuant to Section 11.1. Lessor’s obligations under this Section 11.2 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Article 12. Insurance.

12.1 Lessee agrees to secure and maintain insurance with the following coverage and terms, and the stipulated levels of insurance coverage may be satisfied through primary insurance or a combination of primary and excess or umbrella liability insurance, provided the excess/umbrella coverage follows form over the underlying primary coverage.

12.2 Worker's Compensation Insurance in accordance with the statutory requirements of the state or states in which the Facility is located and the U.S. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Harbor Workers Act, as applicable, and employer's liability insurance with minimum limits of $5,000,000.

12.3 Commercial General Liability Insurance with minimum limits of $10,000,000 per occurrence for property damage and bodily injury, sudden and accidental pollution, premises liability, products liability, broad form contractual liability. For Facilities involving marine operations, such policy(ies) shall include marine terminal operator’s liability (MTOL) covering Lessee's operations at the Premises or be provided by standalone MTOL policy with same coverage limit of $10,000,000 per occurrence.

12.4 Automobile Liability with minimum limits of $5,000,000 for property damage and bodily injury, covering all vehicles owned, hired, rented, contracted for, or used by Lessee, or Lessee's successors, assigns, employees, agents, licensees, or invitees.

12.5 Lessor shall maintain “all risk” or equivalent special cause of loss form insurance on the Premises, but not on Lessee's personal property or inventory, for full replacement cost value.

12.6 Lessor shall be named as an additional insured on the policies specified in this Section 12 to be maintained by Lessee, other than Worker’s Compensation insurance. Lessee shall furnish Lessor with evidence of waiver of subrogation on the policy(ies) specified in this Section 12, and certificates of insurance or letters of self-insurance evidencing the insurance coverage specified herein within five (5) days of the Commencement Date of this Agreement and annually thereafter upon date(s) of Lessee’s insurance renewal(s). Lessee will use reasonable efforts to obtain from its insurers their undertaking to provide thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lessor of cancellation or nonrenewal. All insurance required to be maintained under the terms of this Agreement shall be written by financially reputable insurance carriers, with A.M. Best ratings of A-/XII or higher (or its equivalent), authorized to write insurance in the State where the Facilities are located.

12.7 Insurance on Lessee’s Product, if any, that may be desired by Lessee in its sole discretion, shall be carried by Lessee at Lessee's expense. Lessee further represents and acknowledges that under no circumstances, terms, or conditions of this Agreement shall Lessor provide any insurance coverage for Lessee’s Product.

12.8 Each of Lessor and Lessee (“Releasing Party”) hereby releases the other (“Released Party”) from any liability which the Released Party would, but for this paragraph, have had to the Releasing Party arising out of or in connection with any damage to the property of Releasing Party at the Premises which is or would be covered by a special causes of loss form of property insurance with no deductible in the state in which such Premises is located, regardless of whether or not such coverage is actually being carried by the Releasing Party. Lessor and Lessee shall use reasonable efforts to have their respective policies of insurance endorsed to contain a waiver of subrogation provision incorporating the foregoing and providing that the insurance shall not be invalidated by the insured’s written waiver prior to a loss of any or all right of recovery against any Party for any insured loss.

12.9 Lessor’s and Lessee’s obligations with respect to the restoration of any Facility following any casualty event, whether insured or uninsured (“Casualty”), shall be governed by the terms and provisions of this Section 12.9. Within thirty (30) days following the Casualty, Lessor shall consult with Lessee in good faith and advise Lessee of the estimated cost (the “Cost”) and time required to restore and repair such Facility to substantially its pre-loss condition (the “Loss Notice”). If the Cost is less than or equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (A) $250,000.00 or (B) the annual Base Rental Fee for such Facility as defined in Exhibit B attached hereto (or, if the number of months remaining in the Term is less than twelve (12) months, the sum of Base Rental Fees for the months remaining in the Term) and (ii) estimated insurance proceeds, if any (the “Formula”), Lessor shall have an obligation to restore and repair the Facility to substantially its pre-loss condition, and Lessor shall commence such repair work promptly and complete same as expeditiously as reasonably possible, unless Lessee elects to terminate its obligations hereunder with respect to such Facility pursuant to the following provisions of this section. If the Cost is greater than the Formula, then Lessor shall have no obligation to restore and repair the Facility and may terminate its obligations hereunder with respect to such Facility. In the event that the damage caused by the Casualty is such that it materially interferes with Lessee’s ability to conduct its normal business operations at the Facility and the restoration and repair (i) cannot, based upon the estimated time for repair set forth in the Loss Notice, reasonably be expected to be completed, or is not completed, within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of loss or (ii) cannot, based upon the estimated time for repair set forth in the Loss Notice, reasonably be expected to be completed by June 1 of any year during the Term of this Agreement, Lessee may terminate its obligations hereunder with respect to such Facility effective on the date of the Casualty, provided it does so by notice to Lessor no later than five (5) business days after: (A) the date of receipt of the Loss Notice, or (B) the expiration of 120 days from date of loss or June 1, as applicable, if repairs are not substantially complete by such date so that Lessee is able to resume operations. During the period of restoration, the Base Rental Fee shall be equitably abated based upon the effect of the Casualty upon Lessee’s ability to conduct normal business operations at the Facility. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lessee shall be solely responsible for the repair and restoration of any temporary improvements, trade fixtures, equipment and any other property of Lessee made, installed or brought upon the Facility by Lessee. In the event that a Party terminates its obligations with respect to any Facility pursuant to the terms of this Section 12.9, this Agreement shall be deemed to be automatically revised and reformed to exclude such Facility as of the effective date of such termination and neither Party shall have any further obligations with respect to such Facility, except with respect to obligations accrued prior to the date of such termination or obligations accruing upon termination.

Article 13. Condemnation.

If any Facility shall be in its entirety taken or condemned for any public purpose the Parties' obligations with respect to such Facility shall cease as of the date of condemnation, including, but not limited to, Lessee's obligation hereunder to pay rent, taxes, and insurance premiums with respect to such Facility. If any portion of any Facility is taken or condemned to such an extent as to, in Lessee's reasonable determination, materially interfere with Lessee's ability to conduct its normal business operations at such Facility for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days or more, Lessee shall have the right to terminate its obligations with respect to such Facility by giving written notice of termination to Lessor within thirty (30) days of receiving notice of such condemnation, whereupon the obligations of the Parties with respect to such Facility, including, but not limited to Lessee's rent obligations, shall cease as to such Facility. If any Facility is partially condemned and Lessee determines the taking will not materially interfere with Lessee's ability to conduct its normal business operations at such Facility, Lessee shall be entitled to an equitable reduction in rent taking into account the effect upon Lessee's operations of the property so taken. Lessee shall be entitled to make a separate claim against the condemning authority for an award for the value of any of Lessee's property, for moving and relocation expenses, and for such business damages and/or consequential damages as may be allowed by law. In the event that a Party terminates its obligations with respect to any Facility pursuant to the terms of this Section 13, this Agreement shall be deemed to be automatically revised and reformed to exclude such Facility as of the effective date of such termination and neither Party shall have any further obligations with respect to such Facility, except with respect to obligations accrued prior to the date of such termination or obligations accruing upon termination or obligations which by their terms survive termination.

Article 14. Limitations.

Except for Third Party claims for which there is an indemnification obligation hereunder, neither Party to this Agreement shall be liable to the other Party for consequential, incidental, punitive, or indirect damages (including, but not limited to, lost profits or lost savings) arising from, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement and/or the Premises, even if such Party has been advised of the possibility of or could have foreseen such damages. This limitation applies regardless of the form of action, including, but not limited to, an action in law or equity.

Except as set forth above, the $*** repair and maintenance obligation of Lessor set forth herein shall not apply to annual maintenance retooling of the ▇▇▇▇▇ or tank cleaning and inspection expenses. If replacement of a mill is required, Lessor shall replace such mill and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor the first $*** of the cost to replace said mill. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Lessor and Lessee have agreed that tank foundation ring wall defects at the Halstead, Kansas Facility, regardless of number of tanks affected, will be treated as one repair and subject to only one payment of $*** by Lessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses related to the maintenance of any Lessee Improvements.

15.3 Lessee shall obtain Lessor's prior written approval for all repair and maintenance costs expected to exceed $*** per individual repair or maintenance occurrence, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Lessee may not make repairs on behalf of Lessor without such prior approval, which may be in electronic form via email.

(a) The Performing Party may terminate this Agreement following an Event of Default by the other Party, in accordance with the provisions of Section 17.1.

(b) The Parties may terminate this Agreement by execution of a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of both Parties, in which event the termination shall be effective on the date specified in such agreement.

21.2 Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement, Lessee shall return the Facilities to Lessor in the condition in which the Facilities were immediately preceding the Commencement Date, normal wear and tear and insured casualty excepted. Lessee shall peaceably surrender the Facilities, and, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, remove all asphalt, raw materials, and Product from the Facilities. In the event Lessee has not removed all asphalt, raw materials, tank heels, and Product on the date this Agreement is terminated or expires, Lessee agrees to reimburse Lessor for the actual costs of such removal, which shall include the expense of any necessary cleaning and restoration to the previous condition, subject to normal wear and tear, of the Premises, plus a ten percent (10%) administrative fee.

21.3 Each Party’s obligations under this Agreement shall end as of the effective date of its termination or expiration in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that each Party shall remain liable to the other hereunder with respect to (a) any obligations accruing under this Agreement prior to the effective date of such termination, including any indemnification obligations provided hereunder or (b) as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Articles 4, 9 (for the period therein specified), 11, 14 and 20 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

21.4 Lessee shall vacate the Facilities no later than the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding Section 21.3, if Lessee does not vacate the Facilities following termination of this Agreement, Lessee shall be deemed to be holding over and will become a tenant at sufferance and shall not constitute a renewal or extension for any further term. Under such tenancy at sufferance, the fees set forth in Exhibit B and charged to Lessee shall be increased to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the values set forth in Exhibit B, prorated based on the actual number of holdover days and charged only with respect to the Facility or Facilities being held over. Such tenancy at sufferance shall be subject to every other applicable term, covenant and agreement contained in this Agreement. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed as consent by Lessor to any holding over by Lessee, and Lessee expressly reserves the right to require Lessee to surrender possession of the Facilities to Lessor as provided in this Agreement upon the expiration or other termination of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 21.4 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Lessor provided in this Agreement or at law. If Lessee fails to surrender the Facilities upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, in addition to any other liabilities to Lessor accruing therefrom, Lessee shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including any claims made by any succeeding lessee founded upon such failure to surrender (excluding such lessee’s lost profits).

Article 22. Subordination and Estoppel Certificate.

22.1 This Agreement is subject and subordinate to all mortgages, deeds of trust, and related security instruments which may now or hereafter encumber the Facility and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions thereof and to each advance made or hereafter to be made thereunder. This subordination shall be selfoperative and no further instrument of subordination is required. In confirmation of such subordination, however, Lessee shall, at Lessor's request, execute promptly any appropriate certificate or instrument that Lessor may request. In the event of the enforcement by the trustee or the beneficiary under any such mortgage or deed of trust of the remedies provided for by Applicable Law or by any such mortgage or deed of trust, Lessee will, upon request of any person or party succeeding to the interest of said trustee or beneficiary as a result of such enforcement, automatically become the tenant of, and attorn to, such successor in interest without change in the terms or provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that such successor in interest shall not be bound by: (i) any payment of Base Rental Fee for more than one (1) month in advance; or (ii) any amendment or modification of this Agreement made without the written consent of such trustee or such beneficiary or such successor in interest. Upon request by such trustee, beneficiary, or successor in interest, Lessee shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming the attornment provided for herein. Lessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Lessee within thirty (30) days following the date of this Agreement, nondisturbance agreements from Lessor's lenders in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessee. Lessor shall likewise provide to Lessee non-disturbance agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessee from any successor or replacement lender(s) in connection with placement of any mortgage, deed of trust or similar encumbrance against the Leased Premises within thirty (30) days following the date such encumbrance is placed of record. Lessor acknowledges that Lessee's inventories may serve as collateral for Lessee's financing and agrees to subordinate in writing any applicable landlord liens to the extent same may affect Lessee's inventory.

22.2 At either Party’s request, the other Party will execute either an estoppel certificate or a three-party agreement among Lessor, Lessee, and any third party dealing with the requesting Party certifying to such facts (if true) and agreeing to such notice provisions and other matters as such third party may reasonably require in connection with the business dealings of requesting Party and such third party.

Lessor hereby represents and warrants to Lessee that it has good and marketable title to each Facility (good and marketable leasehold title in the case of Underlying Leases) subject only to (i) the restrictions, covenants, conditions, easements, servitudes, liens and other encumbrances to title to such Facility (collectively, “Encumbrances”) that are identified in the applicable Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance listed on Exhibit C attached hereto; (ii) liens in favor of Lessor’s commercial lenders, including, but not limited to, ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association as Administrative Agent, in connection with the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 11, 2017 (as amended); (iii) taxes not yet due or payable or which are being contested in good faith, and mechanic’s, materialman’s, supplier’s, vendor’s or similar liens arising in the ordinary course of business securing amounts that are not delinquent or past due or that are being contested in good faith; and (iv) any other Encumbrances or title defects which do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the value of the leasehold estate granted herein or the ability of Lessee to use the applicable Facility for the purposes permitted under this Agreement (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”).

Article 27. Quiet Enjoyment.

Lessor covenants that if Lessee shall pay rent due hereunder and perform all of its obligations hereunder, Lessee shall, for the Term of this Agreement, freely, peaceably and quietly occupy and enjoy the full possession of the Leased Premises without interruption or hindrance by Lessor, its agents or employees.

Article 28. Rights of First Refusal; Right of First Offer.

28.1 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below (including, without limitation, Section 28.3), if Lessor proposes or intends to sell any Facility(ies) (the “Term Offered Facilities”) to a third party during the Term of this Agreement then Lessee shall have the right to purchase the Term Offered Facilities (the “Term First Refusal Right”) on the following terms and conditions:

(a) If Lessor executes a contract or letter of intent to sell the Term Offered Facilities to a Third Party, which transaction is expected to close during the Term of this Agreement, Lessor shall provide Lessee with written notice setting forth the Term Offered Facilities, the proposed sale price and other material terms and conditions upon which Lessor intends to sell the Term Offered Facilities to a third party (the “Term ROFR Notice”). Within 30 days after it receives the Term ROFR Notice (the “Term ROFR Period”), Lessee may deliver written notice (the “Term Exercise Notice”) to Lessor that Lessee is exercising its Term First Refusal Right and will purchase the Term Offered Facilities for the price and upon the terms and conditions contained in the Term ROFR Notice. If Lessee does not deliver the Term Exercise Notice to Lessor during the Term ROFR Period, then Lessor shall thereafter be free to sell the Term Offered Facilities to a third party substantially on the terms and conditions contained in the Term ROFR Notice or pursuant to higher or more favorable terms and conditions.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Term First Refusal Right shall not apply to any mortgage of the Premises or the Facilities or any portion thereof to secure the repayment of borrowings by Lessor or any of its Affiliates. A foreclosure sale by such lender shall not be a sale to which the Term First Refusal Right shall be applicable, and upon any such foreclosure sale the Term First Refusal Right shall terminate automatically and be of no further force or effect notwithstanding the existence of, or any term contained in, any non-disturbance agreement from Lessor’s lenders. In clarification

of the foregoing, after any such foreclosure sale, the Term First Refusal Right shall never apply. In the event of a foreclosure sale, to the extent that Lessor receives notice thereof, Lessor shall provide Lessee notice of such sale, including the date, time and place of sale, if known by Lessor; such notice to be provided by Lessor within five (5) business days following Lessor’s receipt of such information, if any. As used herein, “foreclosure sale” shall include a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure. It is the intention of the Parties that the Term First Refusal Right be subordinate to any mortgage presently encumbering the Premises and the Facilities.

28.2 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below (including, without limitation, Section 28.3), if Lessor proposes or intends to sell or lease any Facility(s) (the “Expiration Offered Facilities”) commencing upon the expiration of the Term of this Agreement, then Lessor shall give written notice to Lessee no later than eighteen (18) months prior to the expiration of the Term of this Agreement (the “Expiration ROFO Notice”). Within five (5) business days after the receipt of the Expiration ROFO Notice, Lessee may elect to exercise its rights of first offer by delivering a notice of exercise (“Expiration Exercise Notice”) to Lessor. During the 30-day period following receipt of the Expiration Exercise Notice (the “Expiration ROFO Period”), Lessee shall have the right to make an offer to Lessor for the purchase or lease, as applicable, of such Expiration Offered Facilities (the “Initial Offer”). Lessor shall consider the Initial Offer and any other offers for any or all of the Expiration Offered Facilities in good faith and shall select the offer(s) that Lessor deems most attractive in its sole discretion, or no offer. If Lessor selects an offer(s) other than the Initial Offer or no offer, it shall give written notice to Lessee that it has not selected the Initial Offer (the “Rejection Notice”). Lessee shall have the right to submit a revised offer (the “Last Look Offer”) to Lessor for the Expiration Offered Facilities within five (5) business days after receipt of the Rejection Notice. Lessor shall consider the Last Look Offer and any other offers for any or all of the Expiration Offered Facilities in good faith and shall select the offer(s) that Lessor deems most attractive in its sole discretion, or no offer. For the avoidance of doubt, Lessor shall not be required to provide, and Lessee shall not have the right to know, the terms or conditions of any other offer for any or all of the Expiration Offered Facilities. If Lessee does not deliver (i) the Expiration Exercise Notice to Lessor within five (5) business days after receipt of the Expiration ROFO Notice or (ii) the Initial Offer or the Last Look Offer to Lessor within the time periods specified above, then Lessor shall thereafter be free to sell or lease any or all of the Expiration Offered Facilities to a third party or parties on such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate.

28.3 The obligation of Lessor to provide the Term ROFR Notice, the Expiration ROFO Notice and the corresponding rights of Lessee contained in this Section 28, including, without limitation, the Term First Refusal Right and the right to make the Initial Offer and the Last Look Offer, shall only apply if Lessee is not in default under this Agreement. In addition, the rights and obligations in this Section 28, including, without limitation, the Term First Refusal Right, shall not apply to any proposed sale or lease of more than two-thirds of the total asphalt facilities owned or leased by Lessor in a single transaction or a series of related transactions (collectively, a “Transfer”) or to the proposed sale or lease of any Facility in connection with any such Transfer.

Article 29. Memorandum of Lease.

Promptly upon execution of this Agreement, Lessor and Lessee shall execute and deliver a memorandum of this Agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessee for recording in the land records of the jurisdictions in which the Facilities are located.

Facility Legal Description #3

Exhibit B

Fees

Base Rental Fee:

With respect to Facilities under this Agreement, for each Contract Year Lessee shall pay to Lessor a base rental fee (the “Base Rental Fee”) equal to a total of $*** , as adjusted as provided in this Exhibit B. The Base Rental Fee shall be payable in equal monthly installments. The Base Rental Fee for all Facilities shall be payable in advance on or before the first day of each month, commencing on January 1, 2019 and shall be prorated for any partial month during the Term.

Lessor acknowledges that on December 21, 2018, Lessee prepaid the Base Rental Fee for the months of January, February and March, 2019, in the amount of $***, and property taxes totaling $***. Additionally, Lessee has paid to Lessor upon execution of this Agreement, the sum of $*** in prepayment of the Base Rental Fee for the months of April, May, June, July, August and September, 2019. These payments represent a discounted prepayment of Base Rental Fees for the months indicated and are non-refundable in the event of termination of this Agreement prior to date through which payments have been made.

In addition to the Base Rental Fee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to Property Taxes and Insurance Premiums (as hereafter defined) attributable to the Leased Premises. Lessee shall pay Property Taxes on a monthly basis with each monthly payment equal to 1/12 of the prior year’s Property Taxes for each Facility. After Property Taxes for the current year are paid, Lessee or Lessor, as applicable, will pay the other Party an amount equal to the difference of the actual Property Taxes paid for such year and the aggregate monthly payments that have been made by Lessee for such year. Lessor shall provide reasonable backup documentation of Property Taxes and Insurance Premiums. For purposes of this Exhibit B, “Insurance Premiums” shall mean premiums payable by Lessor for the property insurance which Lessor is required to carry pursuant to Section 11.6 hereof. Insurance Premiums will be invoiced on an annual basis. Lessee shall pay all such invoiced amounts for Property Taxes and Insurance Premiums within ten (10) days of the date of the applicable invoice.

Minimum Incentive Throughput Fee: If, in any Contract Year, Lessee fails to produce, handle, sell, or deliver at least *** tons of Product (“Minimum Throughput Quantity”) at the Facilities, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a fee ("Minimum Throughput Charge") representing the difference between the Minimum Throughput Quantity and the amount of Product actually handled, produced, sold, or delivered from the Facilities during such Contract Year (“Actual Throughput”). The Minimum Throughput Charge shall be computed by subtracting the Actual Throughput from the Minimum Throughput Quantity, and multiplying that difference by $***/ton. Lessor shall calculate the Minimum Throughput Charge on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the end of such Contract Year and shall issue an invoice to Lessee therefor.

Excess Throughput Charge:

An excess throughput fee (“Excess Fee”) will be applied to all Products handled, produced, sold, or delivered exceeding the Minimum Throughput Quantity at the Facilities (“Excess Throughput Quantity”) during the Contract Year and each subsequent Contract Year. The Excess Fee shall be calculated as set forth in the following table:



Excess Throughput Quantity (> Minimum Throughput Quantity)	Fee (per ton) for such Throughput
Throughput of * to * tons	$***
Throughput of * to * tons	$***
Throughput > *** tons	$***

To illustrate such calculations, if Lessee handles a throughput of *** tons during any month, Lessee would owe a total of $*** as its Excess Fee, calculated: ($*** x *** tons) + ($*** x *** tons) +_($*** x *** tons)

For purposes of this Agreement, “Contract Year” means a period of 365 consecutive days commencing on January 1, 2019 and each successive period of 365 consecutive days during the Term of this Agreement with the exception of any Contract Year in which February has 29 days when the period will be 366 consecutive days.

In the event that the terminal located in Austin, Texas is removed from coverage under this Agreement, Lessee and Lessor agree to deduct $***, as adjusted as set forth in this Attachment A, from the Base Rental Fee and to make a proportionate adjustment to Minimum Throughput Quantity consistent with past practice. If the removal of Austin occurs at other than the end of a Calendar Year, then the amount to be deducted from the Base Rental Fee shall be reduced in proportion with the number of days that have elapsed in such Calendar Year.

Utilities and Taxes:

Lessee is solely responsible for all utilities relating to the Facilities and any associated deposits and all such utilities shall be in Lessee’s name. Lessee will directly pay when due the actual cost of the utilities used at the Facilities. Lessee shall be solely responsible for all costs of storing and manufacturing asphalt products at the Facilities.

Lessee shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from and against, all taxes, including but not limited to sales, use, personal property and income (Lessee’s) taxes generated from or otherwise related to Lessee’s use of the Facilities.

Adjustments:

The Base Rental Fee will be escalated January 1, 2020 and every January 1^st thereafter by the percentage change, if any, in the Consumer Price Index - All Urban Consumers - all items less food and energy (U.S. city average base 1982-84 = 100) (“CPI”), as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, for the last two calendar years for which data is available based on the average of the monthly CPI data for November to October of the most current year available compared to the same months of the prior year. In no event shall any of the fees de-escalate. The component of the Base Rental Fee attributable to the Memphis, Tennessee terminal shall not be escalated as set forth in this paragraph unless such terminal is used at any time during a Contract Year, in which case the component attributable to Memphis shall be escalated on January 1 of the year following such Contract Year.

Invoices

Customer shall pay the Base Rental Fee outlined in this Exhibit B in advance each Month based upon the then-current Base Rental Fee. For any periods less than one full calendar month, the monthly Base Rental Fee will be prorated for the actual days of occupancy. Owner shall invoice Customer for all other fees on a

monthly basis or upon the expiration of a Contract Year, as applicable. All invoices shall be paid in accordance with Section 4.2 of the Agreement.

Allocation of Base Rental Fee:

As of January 1, 2019 the Base Rental Fee is allocated among the Facilities as set forth below:
