RECITALS
WHEREAS, MAG has transferred to MercFuel effective as of the Separation
Date, substantially all of the business and assets of the MercFuel Business

WHEREAS, the parties desire to set forth certain agreements regarding
real estate matters.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the covenants and
agreements set forth below, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PROPERTY
Section 1.1 Leased Property
(a) MAG shall assign or cause its applicable Subsidiary to
assign, and MercFuel shall accept and assume, or cause its applicable
Subsidiary to accept and assume, MAG's or its Subsidiary's interest in
the Leased Properties, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement
and (to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement) the terms of the Distribution Agreement and the other
Ancillary Agreements. Such assignment shall be completed on the later
of: (i) the Effective Date; or (ii) the earlier of (A) the fifth
business day after the relevant Lease Consent has been granted, or (B)
the date agreed upon by the parties in accordance with Section 1.6(a)
below.
(b) Subject to the completion of the assignment to MercFuel or
its applicable Subsidiary of the relevant Leased Property, with respect
to each Leased Property which is also a Shared Property, MercFuel shall
grant or cause its applicable Subsidiary to grant to MAG or its
applicable Subsidiary a license to occupy that part of the relevant
Leased Property identified in Section A of Schedule 1 of this Agreement
and MAG shall accept or cause its applicable Subsidiary to accept the
same. Such license shall be completed immediately following completion
of the transfer of the relevant Leased Property to MercFuel or its
applicable Subsidiary, but no earlier than the Effective Date.
Section 1.2 Shared Properties. MAG shall grant or cause its applicable
Subsidiary to grant to MercFuel or its applicable Subsidiary a license to occupy
those parts of the Shared
-1-

Properties identified in Section B of Schedule 1 of this Agreement and MercFuel
shall accept or cause its applicable Subsidiary to accept the same, subject to
the other provisions of this Agreement and (to the extent not inconsistent with
the provisions of this Agreement) the terms of the Distribution Agreement and
the other Ancillary Agreements. Such license shall be completed on the Effective
Date.
Section 1.3 Change in Allocation or Term. The parties may, by mutual
agreement, modify the terms of each assignment, sublease or license that is
granted subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Such modifications shall be
of no force or effect unless set forth in writing.
Section 1.4 Obtaining the Lease Consents
(a) MAG confirms that, with respect to each Leased Property, an
application has been made or will be made by the Effective Date to the
relevant Landlord for the Lease Consents required with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(b) MAG will use its reasonable commercial efforts to obtain the
Lease Consents as to each Leased Property, but MAG shall not be required
to commence judicial proceedings for a declaration that a Lease Consent
has been unreasonably withheld or delayed, nor shall MAG be required to
pay any consideration in excess of that required by the Relevant Lease
or that which is typical in the open market to obtain the relevant Lease
Consent. MercFuel shall cooperate as reasonably requested by MAG to
obtain the Lease Consents.
(c) MercFuel and MAG will promptly satisfy or cause their
applicable Subsidiaries to satisfy the lawful requirements of the
Landlord, and MercFuel will take or cause its applicable Subsidiary to
take all steps to assist MAG in obtaining the Lease Consents as to each
Leased Property, including, without limitation:
(i) if properly required by the Landlord, entering into an
agreement with the relevant Landlord to observe and perform the
tenant's obligations contained in the Relevant Lease throughout
the remainder of the term of the Relevant Lease, subject to any
statutory limitations of such liability;
(ii) if properly required by the Landlord, providing a
guarantee, surety or other security (including, without
limitation, a security deposit) for the obligations of MercFuel
or its applicable Subsidiary as tenant under the Relevant Lease,
and otherwise taking all steps which are reasonably necessary and
which MercFuel or its applicable Subsidiary is reasonably capable
of doing to meet the lawful requirements of the Landlord so as to
ensure that the Lease Consents are obtained; and
(iii) using all reasonable commercial efforts to assist
MAG with obtaining the Landlord's consent to the release of any
guarantee, surety or other security which MAG or its Subsidiary
may have previously provided to the Landlord and,
-2-
6
if required, offering the same or equivalent security to the
Landlord in order to obtain such release.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) except with
respect to guarantees, sureties or other security referenced in
Section 1.4(c)(ii) above, MercFuel shall not be required to
obtain a release of any obligation entered into by MAG or its
Subsidiary with any Landlord or other third party with respect to
any Property and (2) MercFuel shall not communicate or permit its
applicable Subsidiary to communicate directly with any of the
Landlords unless MercFuel can show MAG reasonable grounds for
doing so.
(d) If, with respect to any Leased Properties, MAG and MercFuel
are unable to obtain a release by the Landlord of any guarantee, surety
or other security which MAG or its Subsidiary has previously provided to
the Landlord, MercFuel shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold
harmless MAG and its Subsidiary from and after the Distribution Date
against all losses, costs, claims, damages, or liabilities incurred by
MAG or its Subsidiary as a result of MercFuel's occupancy of the Leased
Property with respect to such guarantee, surety or other security.
Section 1.5 Occupation by MercFuel
(a) Subject to compliance with Section 1.5(b) below, in the event
that the Actual Completion Date for any Leased Property does not occur
on the Effective Date, MercFuel or its applicable Subsidiary shall,
commencing on the Effective Date, be entitled to occupy the relevant
Property (except to the extent that the same is a Retained Part) as a
licensee upon the terms and conditions contained in MAG's Lease. Such
license shall not be revocable prior to the date for completion as
provided in Section 1.1(a) unless an enforcement action or forfeiture by
the relevant Landlord due to MercFuel's or its applicable Subsidiary's
occupation of the Property constituting a breach of MAG's Lease cannot,
in the reasonable opinion of MAG, be avoided other than by requiring
MercFuel or its applicable Subsidiary to immediately vacate the relevant
Property, in which case MAG may by notice to MercFuel immediately
require MercFuel or its applicable Subsidiary to vacate the relevant
Property. MercFuel will be responsible for all costs, expenses and
liabilities incurred by MAG or its applicable Subsidiary as a
consequence of such occupation, except for any losses, claims, costs,
demands and liabilities incurred by MAG or its Subsidiary as a result of
any enforcement action taken by the Landlord against MAG or its
Subsidiary with respect to any breach by MAG or its Subsidiary of the
Relevant Lease in permitting MercFuel or its applicable Subsidiary to so
occupy the Property without obtaining the required Lease Consent, for
which MAG or its Subsidiary shall be solely responsible. Neither
MercFuel nor its applicable Subsidiary shall be entitled to make any
claim or demand against, or obtain reimbursement from, MAG or its
applicable Subsidiary with respect to any costs, losses, claims,
liabilities or damages incurred by MercFuel or its applicable Subsidiary
as a consequence of being obliged to vacate the Property or in obtaining
alternative premises, including, without limitation, any enforcement
action which a Landlord may take against MercFuel or its applicable
Subsidiary.

(b) In the event that the Actual Completion Date for any Leased
Property does not occur on the Effective Date, whether or not MercFuel
or its applicable Subsidiary occupies a Property as licensee as provided
in Section 1.5(a) above, MercFuel shall, effective as of the Effective
Date, (i) pay or cause its applicable Subsidiary to pay MAG all rents,
service charges, insurance premiums and other sums payable by MAG or its
applicable Subsidiary under any Relevant Lease, (ii) observe or cause
its applicable Subsidiary to observe the tenant's covenants, obligations
and conditions contained in MAG's Lease and (iii) indemnify, defend,
protect and hold harmless MAG and its applicable Subsidiary from and
against all losses, costs, claims, damages and liabilities arising on
account of any breach thereof by MercFuel or its applicable Subsidiary.
(c) MAG shall supply promptly to MercFuel copies of all invoices,
demands, notices and other communications received by MAG or its
applicable Subsidiaries or agents in connection with any of the matters
for which MercFuel or its applicable Subsidiary may be liable to make
any payment or perform any obligation pursuant to Section 1.5(a) or (b),
and shall, at MercFuel's cost, take any steps and pass on any objections
which MercFuel or its applicable Subsidiary may have in connection with
any such matters. MercFuel shall promptly supply to MAG any notices,
demands, invoices and other communications received by MercFuel or its
applicable Subsidiary or agents from any Landlord while MercFuel or its
applicable Subsidiary occupies any Property without the relevant Lease
Consent.
Section 1.6 Obligation to Complete
(a) If, with respect to any Leased Property, at any time the
relevant Lease Consent is formally and unconditionally refused in
writing, MAG and MercFuel shall commence good faith negotiations and use
commercially reasonable efforts to determine how to allocate the
applicable Property, based on the relative importance of the applicable
Property to the operations of each party, the size of the applicable
Property, the number of employees of each party at the applicable
Property and the potential risk and liability to each party in the event
an enforcement action is brought by the applicable Landlord. Such
commercially reasonable efforts shall include consideration of alternate
structures to accommodate the needs of both parties and the allocation
of the costs thereof, including entering into amendments of the size,
term or other terms of the Relevant Lease, restructuring a proposed
lease assignment to be a sublease and relocating one party. If the
parties are unable to agree upon an allocation of the Property within
fifteen (15) days after commencement of negotiations between the parties
as described above, then either party may, by delivering written notice
to the other, require that the matter be referred to the Chief Financial
Officers of both parties. In such event, the Chief Financial Officers
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to determine the allocation of
the Property, including having a meeting or telephone conference within
ten (10) days thereafter. If the parties are unable to agree upon the
allocation of an applicable Property within fifteen (15) days after the
matter is referred to the Chief Financial Officers of the parties as
described above, the disposition of the applicable Property and the
risks
-4-
8
associated therewith shall be allocated between the parties as set forth
in subparts (b) and (c) of this section below.
(b) If, with respect to any Leased Property, the parties are
unable to agree upon the allocation of a Property as set forth in
Section 1.6(a), MAG may by written notice to MercFuel elect to apply to
the relevant Landlord for consent to sublease all of the relevant
Property to MercFuel or its applicable Subsidiary for the remainder of
the Relevant Lease term less three (3) days at a rent equal to the rent
from time to time under the Relevant Lease, but otherwise on
substantially the same terms and conditions as the Relevant Lease. If
MAG makes such an election, until such time as the relevant Lease
Consent is obtained and a sublease is completed, the provisions of
Section 1.5 will apply and, on the grant of the Lease Consent required
to sublease the Leased Property in question, MAG shall sublease or cause
its applicable Subsidiary to sublease to MercFuel or its applicable
Subsidiary the relevant Property which sublease shall be for the term
and rent set forth in the Relevant Lease and otherwise on the terms of
the Relevant Lease.
(c) If the parties are unable to agree upon the allocation of a
Property as set forth in Section 1.6(a) and MAG does not make an
election pursuant to Section 1.6(b) above, MAG may elect by written
notice to MercFuel to require MercFuel or its applicable Subsidiary to
vacate the relevant Property immediately or by such other date as may be
specified in the notice served by MAG (the "Notice Date"), in which case
MercFuel shall vacate or cause its applicable Subsidiary to vacate the
relevant Property on the Notice Date but shall indemnify MAG and its
applicable Subsidiary from and against all costs, claims, losses,
liabilities and damages in relation to the relevant Property arising
from and including the Separation Date to and including the later of the
Notice Date and date on which MercFuel or its applicable Subsidiary
vacates the relevant Property, except for any costs, losses, damages,
claims and liabilities incurred by MAG or its Subsidiary with respect to
any enforcement action taken by the Landlord against MAG or its
Subsidiary with respect to any breach by MAG or its Subsidiary of the
Relevant Lease in permitting MercFuel or its applicable Subsidiary to so
occupy the Property without obtaining the required Lease Consent.
Neither MercFuel nor its applicable Subsidiary shall be entitled to make
any claim or demand against or obtain reimbursement from MAG or its
applicable Subsidiary with respect to any costs, losses, claims,
liabilities or damages incurred by MercFuel or its applicable Subsidiary
as a consequence of being obliged to vacate the Property or obtaining
alternative premises, including, without limitation, any enforcement
action which a Landlord may take against MercFuel or its applicable
Subsidiary.
Section 1.7 Form of Transfer
(a) The assignment to MercFuel or its applicable Subsidiary of
each relevant Leased Property shall be in substantially the form
attached in Schedule 2, with such amendments which in the reasonable
opinion of MAG are necessary with respect to a particular Property,
including, without limitation, in all cases where a relevant Landlord
has required a guarantor or surety to guarantee the obligations of
MercFuel or its applicable Subsidiary contained in the relevant Lease
Consent or any other document

giving of such guarantee by a guarantor or surety, and the giving by
MercFuel or its applicable Subsidiary and any guarantor or surety of

easement, lease or other encumbrance to which the Property is subject.

approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

_________________. Either party shall have the right to terminate the
license as to any of the Properties upon thirty (30) days' prior notice.
Rent shall be abated for the period from the Effective Date to
______________, 2001. The license shall be substantially in the form of
the License Form, with such amendments as are, in the reasonable opinion
of MAG, necessary with respect to a particular Property. Such amendments
shall be submitted to MercFuel for approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

and accept assignments, leases, subleases or licenses of the Properties as
described in this Agreement, regardless of any casualty damage or other change
in the condition of the Properties. In addition, subject to MAG's obligations in

respect to a Leased Property or a Shared Property or MAG's interest in the
leased portion of the Headquarters Facility is terminated prior to the Effective
Date, (a) MAG or its applicable Subsidiary shall not be required to assign,
sublease or license such Property, (b) MercFuel or its applicable Subsidiary
shall not be required to accept an assignment, sublease or license of such
Property and (c) neither party shall have any further liability with respect to
