In the event the Refinery ceases operations (an “Acceleration Event”), Buyer shall notify Seller promptly of such Acceleration Event and Buyer shall, in lieu of Buyer’s obligation to make any other Earnout Payments under this Section 2.8, make three (3) additional payments to Seller (collectively, the “Acceleration Payments”), each in an amount equal to one-sixth of the positive amount by which the Total Earnout Cap exceeds the Prior Earnout Payments at the time of the Acceleration Event. Any payment by Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.8(j) shall be made notwithstanding the Annual Earnout Cap. Such Acceleration Payments shall be made by Buyer with the first payment being due and payable six (6) months after the Acceleration Event and the remaining two (2) payments being due and payable eighteen (18) months and thirty (30) months, respectively, after the Acceleration Event. Each Acceleration Payment shall be by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller.

Any payment by Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.8(k) shall be made notwithstanding the Annual Earnout Cap and shall not be credit against the Annual Earnout Cap. The total amount of Earnout Payments paid by Buyer as a result of the foregoing shall not exceed the Total Earnout Cap.

which time Buyer shall cause the Company to purchase and acquire title to such Undelivered Refinery Inventory. Measurement and valuation of all Undelivered Refinery Inventory shall be made pursuant to Exhibit G-1 and G-2 and shall be included in the Hydrocarbon Inventory Value and the Estimated Hydrocarbon Inventory Value. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees from and against any and all Claims and Losses related to or arising from the Undelivered Refinery Inventory (and any other Feedstock Inventory acquired by the Company as a result of or in furtherance of the Refinery Turnaround and Startup Activities) regardless of whether the Closing occurs and regardless of any reason that the Closing does not occur; provided, however, such indemnification shall not apply in the event (i) all of the conditions to Closing pursuant to Article VIII are satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be performed at Closing) and Seller defaults in its Obligation to consummate the Closing or (ii) Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(c) solely due to the breach by Seller of its Fundamental Representations (excluding representations and warranties contained in Section 4.15) provided that all of the other conditions to Closing pursuant to Article VIII were satisfied at the time of Buyer’s termination (other than those conditions that by their nature were to be performed at Closing).

In the event and to the extent Seller or its Affiliates are contractually prohibited from transferring and assigning any rights or Obligations to Committed Refinery Inventory to the Company as of the Measurement Time then Seller (and its Affiliates, if applicable) shall continue to retain such rights and obligations until such time as such rights and Obligations can be transferred and assigned to the Company or title to the commodities represented thereby can be transferred to the Company at which time Buyer shall cause the Company to assume such rights and Obligations or, if applicable, purchase and acquire title to the actual commodities. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees from and against any and all Claims and Losses related to or arising from the Committed Refinery Inventory and the commodities represented thereby regardless of whether the Closing occurs and regardless of any reason that the Closing does not occur; provided, however, such indemnification shall not apply in the event (i) all of the conditions to Closing pursuant to Article VIII are satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be performed at Closing) and Seller defaults in its Obligation to consummate the Closing or (ii) Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(c) solely due to the breach by Seller of its Fundamental Representations (excluding representations and warranties contained in Section 4.15) provided that all of the other conditions to Closing pursuant to Article VIII were satisfied at the time of Buyer’s termination (other than those conditions that by their nature were to be performed at Closing).

Section 4.6 Financial Statements.

(a) Section 4.6 of the Disclosure Schedules sets forth the following financial statements (collectively, the “Financial Statements”):

(i) the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company (including the Acquired Subsidiary) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, together with corresponding audited consolidated statements of operations and of cash flows of the Company (including the Acquired Subsidiary) for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009;

(ii) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company (including the Acquired Subsidiary) as of December 31, 2012, together with corresponding unaudited consolidated statements of operations and of cash flows for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2012; and

(iii) the unaudited consolidated interim balance sheet of the Company (including the Acquired Subsidiary) as of March 31, 2013, together with corresponding unaudited consolidated interim statements of operations and of cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013.

(b) The Financial Statements described in Section 4.6(a)(i) have been prepared from the records of the Company (including the Acquired Subsidiary) and present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company (including the Acquired Subsidiary) as of the respective dates of the balance sheets included therein and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of the Company (including the Acquired Subsidiary) for the respective periods set forth therein, all in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the periods covered thereby (except as noted in the accompanying footnotes thereto).

(c) The Financial Statements described in Section 4.6(a)(ii) and Section 4.6(a)(iii) have been prepared from the records of the Company (including the Acquired Subsidiary) and reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement, in all material respects, of the consolidated financial position of the Company (including the Acquired Subsidiary) as of the respective dates of the balance sheet included therein and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of the Company (including the Acquired Subsidiary) for the respective periods set forth therein, all in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the respective period covered thereby (except as noted therein) (subject to the absence of footnote disclosures and to normal and recurring year-end adjustments).

(d) Historically, financial statements have not been prepared for the Business as it has not operated as a separate, stand-alone enterprise. The Financial Statements for the Business have been prepared from the historical accounting records of the Companies in anticipation of a potential transaction to separate the Business from the other business activities of Seller and its other Affiliates as though the Business had been managed as a separate, stand-alone enterprise for all periods presented. As the Business has been historically managed and financed as part of a larger group, its accounts reflect certain charges for functions provided by Seller and its Affiliates that have been identified as related party transactions. It is possible that the terms of the related party transactions are not the same as the terms that might otherwise result from transactions between unrelated parties. To Seller’s Knowledge, all adjustments have been reflected that are necessary for a fair presentation of the carve-out financial statements for the Business for their respective dates. The allocations have been made on a reasonable

basis and have been consistently applied for each period presented. The Financial Statements may not necessarily reflect the financial position, results of operations or cash flows that the Business might have had in the past, or might have in the future, if it had existed as a separate, stand-alone enterprise.

(e) The net investment of Seller and its other Affiliates in the Companies has been presented in lieu of stockholder’s equity in the Financial Statements. Inter-company transactions associated with the Business that involve Seller and its other Affiliates have been included in the net investment reflected in the Financial Statements since payments are not made with respect to such inter-company transactions. Transfers of asset and liabilities to and from the Companies and Seller and its other Affiliates is reflected as a component of the changes in the net investment identified by the headings “Net change in Parent advances” or “Net cash advances by Parent.”

(f) Since the Balance Sheet Date, the Companies have not incurred any liabilities that would be required by GAAP to be included on a consolidated balance sheet of the Companies but excluding liabilities (i) reflected or reserved against in the Financial Statements or disclosed in the footnotes thereto, (ii) incurred in the ordinary course of business, (iii) included in the Final Net Working Capital, relate to the Shutdown Activities or the Startup Activities or (v) that have individually or in the aggregate, not had or would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.7 Assets.

(a) To Seller’s Knowledge, the Title Commitments contain legal descriptions of all lands owned in fee simple or leased by the Company and on which the material operations of the Refinery (but not any pipelines or terminals serving it) are located subject in each case to Permitted Liens.

(b) Subject to the receipt of any Third Person Consent or Authorization for the transfer and assignment from Seller to the Company or the Acquired Subsidiary, as applicable, the Company and the Acquired Subsidiary own, lease or have the legal right to use their respective material Assets (or in the case of the Company’s or Acquired Subsidiary’s contract rights, receive the benefits of their respective Assets) free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens.

(c) The Company and the Acquired Subsidiary have good and marketable title to, or valid leasehold interests in, or license to, all of their tangible personal property, free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens, except for such nonmaterial properties as are no longer used or useful in the conduct of the Business.

(d) Section 4.7(d) of the Disclosure Schedules lists all material fixed assets used in or reasonably necessary for the operation of the Refinery as conducted prior to the Refinery Shutdown Activities other than the Excluded Assets.

(e) Section 4.7(e) of the Disclosure Schedules sets forth a complete and correct list of all Real Property Interests owned in fee simple by the Company (the “Owned Real Property”). There are no outstanding options or rights of first refusal to purchase or lease the Owned Real Property or any portion thereof or interest therein. There are no pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened condemnation proceedings (for which Seller or the Company has received service of process or otherwise notice) before any Governmental Authority with respect to any Owned Real Property. The Acquired Subsidiary does not own any Real Property Interests in fee simple.

(f) Section 4.7(f) of the Disclosure Schedules sets forth a list of all Real Property Interests leased to the Company (the “Leased Real Property”), including the name and address of each landlord for each such lease. Seller has delivered to Buyer complete and correct copies of each such lease.

The Company is not a sublessor or grantor under any sublease or other instrument granting to another Person any right to the possession, lease, occupancy or enjoyment of the Leased Real Property except as set forth in Section 4.7(f) of the Disclosure Schedules. The Acquired Subsidiary does not own any leasehold interest in any Real Property Interests, except as a sublessee for certain Retail Assets.

(g) To the Knowledge of Seller, there are no pending special assessments or reassessments (for which Seller or the Company has received service of process or otherwise notice) of any parcel included in the Real Property Interests that would reasonably be expected to result in a material increase in the real property taxes or other similar charges payable by the Company with respect to any parcel of Owned Real Property or a material increase in the rent, additional rent or other sums and charges payable by the Company under the leases for the Leased Real Property.

Any amendments or modifications to the Scope of Work shall be in writing signed by an authorized representative of Seller and Buyer, and an authorized representative of Buyer shall be reasonably available during the normal business hours of the Company to make such decisions. In the event that Seller proposes a change to the Scope of Work to which Buyer does not agree, and Seller believes in good faith that such change is necessary for successful and safe completion of the remaining items in the Scope of Work (a “Refinery Startup Dispute”), Seller shall provide written notice to Buyer setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the Refinery Startup Dispute. A member of senior management (vice president level or higher) of Buyer and Seller shall meet by telephone, or at a mutually agreeable location, in good faith to attempt to resolve the Refinery Startup Dispute within five (5) days from the date of the notice. In the event Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve the Refinery Startup Dispute in accordance with the foregoing provisions, Seller may, in Seller’s discretion, cease further Refinery Turnaround and Startup Activities.

(d) Pricing and Payment; Reimbursement. Seller shall pay the Refinery Startup Expenses, subject to the reimbursement provisions set forth below. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall not be reimbursed by Buyer for Refinery Startup Expenses in excess of $15,000,000 unless and until the Refinery Startup Expenses exceed $20,000,000, in which event Seller shall receive reimbursement from Buyer for amounts in excess of $20,000,000 (whether pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(i)(6) at Closing or Section 6.1(d)(iv) prior to Closing).

(i) Within seven (7) days of the Execution Date, Buyer shall pay Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account, or accounts, designated by Seller, an initial deposit for the benefit of Seller in the amount of $15,000,000 (the “Refinery Startup Deposit”).

(ii) In the event that the Refinery Startup Expenses incurred by Seller or its Affiliates exceed $20,000,000 in the aggregate, Seller shall so notify Buyer in writing. Within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such notice, Buyer shall replenish the Refinery Startup Deposit by paying Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account, or accounts, designated by Seller, an additional deposit for the benefit of Seller in the amount of $7,000,000.

(iii) As soon as practicable after receipt of any funds attributed to the Refinery Startup Deposit by Seller, but in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, Seller shall transfer the Refinery Startup Deposit into a segregated investment account.

(iv) Seller may transfer portions of the Refinery Startup Deposit to its own account from time to time as Seller may desire to reimburse Seller for Startup Refinery Expenses. Seller may not transfer any portion of the Refinery Startup Deposit to its own account unless the Refinery Startup Expenses incurred to date exceed the Startup Deposit Drawn Amount. From and after the date the Refinery Turnaround and Startup Activities commence, Seller shall provide, as requested by Buyer, reasonably appropriate records indicating the Refinery Startup Expenses incurred to date with a reasonable level of detail sufficient to allow Buyer to evaluate Seller’s draws on the Refinery Startup Deposit. If Buyer disputes the amount or payment of any Refinery Startup Expenses, at any time (subject to Section 6.1(d)(viii)), Buyer shall provide Seller with written notice setting forth in reasonable detail the amounts in dispute and the reasons therefor. If Buyer provides such a notice, a procedure similar to the procedure set forth in Section 2.6(d) and Section 2.6(e) shall be followed to resolve the dispute.

(v) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall submit in writing to Buyer its good faith estimate, as of the Closing Date, by which the Refinery Startup Expenses will exceed $27,000,000 (the “Estimated Refinery Startup Reimbursement”) along with documentation supporting its good faith calculation of the Estimated Refinery Startup Reimbursement and shall reasonably respond to questions and comments from Buyer regarding such submission prior to the Closing Date. The Base Amount payable by Buyer on the Closing Date shall be increased or decreased, as applicable, by the amount of the Estimated Refinery Startup Reimbursement.

(vi) In the event that the total amount of the Refinery Startup Deposit delivered to Seller exceeds the Refinery Startup Expenses upon the completion of the Refinery Turnaround and Startup Activities, Seller shall refund to Buyer such excess at the Closing (subject to a reasonable amount reserved by Seller for invoices Seller expects to receive after the Closing).

(vii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary and regardless of whether or not the Closing occurs and regardless of any reason that the Closing does not occur, Buyer shall pay to Seller (1) the Estimated Refinery Startup Reimbursement, either at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(i)(6) or within ten (10) Business Days of the termination of this Agreement, and (2) the Final Refinery Startup Reimbursement within five (5) Business Days after the Final Refinery Startup Reimbursement becomes final pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(viii).

(viii) Within sixty (60) days after the payment contemplated in Section 6.1(d)(vii) has been delivered by Buyer to Seller, Seller shall deliver to Buyer notice of the amount by which the Refinery Startup Expenses exceeded $27,000,000 (the “Final Refinery Startup Reimbursement”). Unless Buyer gives notice to Seller on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after Buyer’s receipt of such notice that Buyer disputes the amount setting forth in reasonable detail the amounts in dispute and the reasons therefor, then the Final Refinery Startup Reimbursement as specified in the notice shall become final and binding on the Parties. If Buyer provides such a notice, a procedure similar to the procedure set forth in Section 2.6(d) and Section 2.6(e) shall be followed to arrive at a Final Refinery Startup Reimbursement. Buyer shall promptly pay any amounts not in dispute.

(ix) Seller shall provide, as reasonably requested by Buyer, accounting reports setting forth actual and budgeted amounts for the Refinery Startup Expenses. Seller shall permit a Diligence Representative of Buyer to have reasonable access to the Refinery, subject to Section 6.6, to review such reports and monitor the Refinery Turnaround and Startup Activities.

(e) Course of performance. To the extent Seller performs the Refinery Turnaround and Startup Activities, during the course thereof:

(i) Seller shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform the Refinery Turnaround and Startup Activities within the time frames indicated in the Scope of Work and to perform the Refinery Turnaround and Startup Activities in a diligent, orderly and professional manner; and

(ii) Seller shall keep Buyer informed of all material factors which may affect Seller’s progress of the Refinery Turnaround and Startup Activities and the various dates when Seller anticipates completion of the items detailed on the Scope of Work.

(f) Independent Contractor. Seller will be an independent contractor with respect to all Refinery Turnaround and Startup Activities performed pursuant to this Section. Neither Seller nor any contractors nor the employees of either shall be deemed to be servants, employees or agents of Buyer.

(g) Waiver of Warranties. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, SELLER HAS NOT MADE AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND WHETHER BY COMMON LAW, STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE, REGARDING (I) THE QUALITY, CONDITION, OR OPERABILITY OF THE ASSETS AS MODIFIED BY THE REFINERY TURNAROUND AND STARTUP ACTIVITIES, (II) THE MERCHANTABILITY OF THE ASSETS AS MODIFIED BY THE REFINERY TURNAROUND AND STARTUP ACTIVITIES, (III) FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE ASSETS AS MODIFIED BY THE REFINERY TURNAROUND AND STARTUP ACTIVITIES, OR (IV) THE CONFORMITY OF THE ASSETS AS MODIFIED BY THE REFINERY TURNAROUND AND STARTUP ACTIVITIES TO MODELS, SAMPLES OF MATERIALS OR MANUFACTURER DESIGN, AND ALL TANGIBLE PURCHASED ASSETS SUBJECT TO THE REFINERY TURNAROUND AND STARTUP ACTIVITIES SHALL BE DELIVERED “AS IS, WHERE IS” WITH ALL FAULTS.

(h) Release and Indemnification of Seller. In addition to other indemnifications provided by Buyer elsewhere in this Agreement, Buyer hereby releases and discharges and agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees from and against any and all Claims and Losses caused by, arising out of, or in any way incidental to or in connection with the performance of the Refinery Turnaround and Startup Activities, whether arising before or after completion thereof, and in

any manner directly or indirectly caused, occasioned or contributed to, in whole or in part, or claimed to be caused, occasioned or contributed to, in whole or in part, by the following:

(i) The negligence or fault or gross negligence, whether active or passive, (but excluding willful misconduct) of the Seller Indemnitees or their contractors, subcontractors or vendors;

(iv) Where liability with or without fault is imposed, or sought to be imposed, on the basis of any theory of strict liability by operation of law or any violation or failure to comply with any law, rule, regulation, order or requirement of any Governmental Authority.

BUYER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT SUCH INDEMNIFICATION INCLUDES AN INDEMNIFICATION OF THE SELLER INDEMNITEES FOR AND AGAINST EACH OF THEIR OWN NEGLIGENCE AND GROSS NEGLIGENCE (but excluding to the extent of willful misconduct of the Seller Indemnitees). The provisions of this Section 6.1(h) shall survive the termination or completion of the Refinery Turnaround and Startup Activities and the Closing.

(a) Subject to Seller’s and Buyer’s additional Obligations in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 6.3 and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller and Buyer shall each use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things that, in either case, are necessary, proper or advisable under Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require or cause any Party to waive any right it may have under other provisions of this Agreement and (ii) obtain from the relevant Governmental Authorities all Authorizations required to be obtained at or prior to the Closing by Buyer, Seller, the Company or the Acquired Subsidiary in connection with the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Related Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

Buyer and Seller shall bear the costs and expenses of their respective filings; provided, that Buyer shall pay the filing fee in connection with any such filings. Seller and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate in connection with the making of all such filings and subsequent submissions to any Governmental Authority. Seller and Buyer shall each use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to furnish to the other Party such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and will keep the other Party reasonably informed with respect to any consent, authorization, order or approval sought from, or exemption, review, investigation or inquiry conducted by, any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

any submission, providing any material correspondence or entering into any agreement with any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) Buyer and Seller shall each give prompt notice to the other of the receipt of and if in writing, furnish the others with copies of (or, in the case of oral communications, advise the others of the contents of) any notice or other communication from (i) any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) any Governmental Authority or other Person regarding the initiation or threat of initiation of any Claims or Proceedings against, relating to, or involving or otherwise affecting the Company, the Acquired Subsidiary, Buyer or Seller that relate to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iv) any Person regarding the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any event the occurrence or nonoccurrence of which would be reasonably likely to (A) cause any condition to the Obligations of the other Party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby not to be satisfied, (B) cause a breach of the representations, warranties or covenants of such Party under this Agreement, or (C) delay or impede the ability of either Buyer or Seller, respectively, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to fulfill their respective Obligations set forth herein.

(d) Buyer and Seller each agree to cooperate and to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to contest and to resist any action, including legislative, administrative or judicial action, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) of any court or other Governmental Authority that is in effect and that restricts, prevents or prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Related Agreements, including the pursuit of all available avenues of administrative and judicial appeal and all available legislative action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.3 shall require, or be construed to require any Party or its Affiliates to agree to (i) sell, hold, divest, discontinue or limit, before or after the Closing Date, any assets, businesses or interests of the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates; (ii) any conditions relating to, or changes or restrictions in, the operations of any such assets, businesses or interests which, in either case, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or materially and adversely impact the economic or business benefits to the Parties of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iii) any material modification or waiver of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(f) Buyer shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to secure the release of Seller and its Affiliates from liability for any post-Closing Obligations of the Companies under any Authorizations or Material Contracts assigned or transferred from Seller or its Affiliates to the Companies, and to secure the release of Seller and its Affiliates from any guarantees of the Companies’ post-Closing Obligations under any Authorizations or Material Contracts to which the Companies remain a party after Closing. Buyer’s efforts in this regard shall include, if necessary, causing the Buyer Guarantor to guarantee the Obligations of the Company under the affected Authorizations or Material Contracts. Buyer acknowledges that Seller and its Affiliates shall have the right to cancel or revoke all

guarantees, bonds, letters of credit and similar undertakings provided by them or on their behalf to secure any post-Closing Obligations of the Companies. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the Closing.

(g) Notwithstanding Section 6.3(f), prior to the Closing Buyer shall deliver to the applicable beneficiary or counterparty replacement or substitute guaranties, letters of credit, bonds, security deposits, and other surety obligations and evidence of financial capacity, in each case acceptable to Buyer and the relevant beneficiary or counterparty, in substitution and replacement of those credit support arrangements set forth in Section 6.3(g) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Credit Support Arrangements”), in form and substance acceptable to Seller, and shall cause the release as of the Closing of Seller and its Affiliates from all Obligations relating to the Credit Support Arrangements.

Section 6.4 Breach Notice. If, prior to the Closing Date, Buyer obtains Knowledge of a breach of any of Seller’s representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of such information (the “Breach Notice”) as promptly as reasonably possible but in all events no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

During the Interim Period, Seller and the Company shall, and each shall cause their respective officers, directors, employees and Affiliates to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any and all contacts, discussions and negotiations with third parties regarding the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 6.5 shall not apply to or limit or impair any future discussions, plans, negotiations or agreements for the sale, merger or consolidation of Seller.

Section 6.6 Right of Entry.

(a) Buyer hereby acknowledges that any access to the Refinery and any other Assets of the Company or the Acquired Subsidiary utilized by Buyer or any representative, consultant or other Person acting by or on behalf of Buyer (“Diligence Representative”) shall be at the sole risk, cost and expense of Buyer. Buyer shall comply and shall ensure that each Diligence Representative complies with all safety and similar requirements customarily imposed by the Company or the Acquired Subsidiary on its properties. Before and after the Closing, Buyer shall assume and indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees from and against any and all Claims and Losses for personal injury, death, disease, illness or property damage or other Losses arising out of Buyer’s or any Diligence Representative’s entry upon or access to the Refinery and any other assets or other Losses of the Company or the Acquired Subsidiary and all Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnitees with respect to each such Claim. Additionally, any inspection or investigation conducted by or on behalf of Buyer or its Diligence Representatives shall be conducted in accordance with all Laws, including all Environmental Laws, applicable Refinery rules and regulations (including those related to health, safety, security and the environment) and in such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the Refinery or any other Assets or operations of the Company or the Acquired Subsidiary. During the Interim Period, Buyer shall not be

entitled to conduct any invasive testing or environmental assessments or any other sampling (including air sampling) or testing of soil or ground or surface water at, on or under, any real property associated with the Refinery or any other Assets of the Company or the Acquired Subsidiary, without the prior written consent of Seller, Buyer being limited to the review of Seller’s or its Affiliate’s records or any other publicly available materials or information with regard to these matters.

(b) Before Buyer or any Diligence Representative is permitted to engage in any activities within the Refinery or at any other locations of Assets, Buyer shall (or shall cause the applicable Diligence Representative to) provide proof or otherwise attest that the following types and minimum amounts of insurance coverage are in effect and cover the activities of Buyer or such Diligence Representative:



A.	1. Worker’s Compensation¹ 2. Employer’s Liability	As required by applicable law. $100,000 each accident

Buyer shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to Seller a certificate of insurance evidencing that the above minimum coverages are in effect. All policies shall contain a waiver of subrogation clause in favor of the Seller Indemnitees. All policies except A.1 above shall be endorsed to name the Seller Indemnitees as additional insureds. The certificate of insurance shall further specify that all coverages are primary over (and not contributory with or secondary to) any insurance carried by the Seller Indemnitees for their own account. Such insurance shall be endorsed with a standard cross liability clause in favor of the Seller Indemnitees. Such insurance shall cover the actions of Buyer and all Diligence Representatives. The certificate of insurance shall state that Seller shall be provided with not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation or material adverse change with respect to any of the policies.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 6.6 shall survive the Closing and any cancellation or termination of this Agreement. The insurance required under this paragraph shall operate independent and apart from Buyer’s indemnification Obligations under this Agreement.

Section 6.7 Condition of the Assets. In consummating the purchase and the sale of the TH Interest contemplated hereunder, Buyer acknowledges that it will become the sole member of the Company and thereby an indirect owner of the Assets including the Subsidiary Shares, and that, and that, except for (and without limiting) the representations and warranties expressly made in Article III and

Buyer, and Buyer shall be entitled to make a Claim thereon under this Agreement (including pursuant to Article XI) or otherwise.

For the avoidance of doubt, neither Seller nor the Companies will be requested or required to prepare projections, pro forma statements, information memoranda, offering memoranda or similar documents that may be required of Buyer in connection with the Financing. The foregoing provisions shall not alter or amend Buyer’s Obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and a breach or purported breach of this Section 6.10(a) shall not be treated as a provision of Section 8.3.

(b) During the Interim Period, Buyer shall keep Seller reasonably informed regarding the status of Buyer’s activities (including status of negotiations and documentation) to obtain the Financing.

During the Interim Period, the Company shall deliver to Buyer, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than twenty (20) Business Days after the end of each calendar month, the unaudited consolidated interim balance sheet and statement of operations and cash flows of the Company and the Acquired Subsidiary as of and for the period for each calendar month ended after the Execution Date (the “Company Monthly Financial Statements”). The Company Monthly Financial Statements shall be prepared on a basis consistent with manner in which the Financial Statements of Section 4.6(a)(iii) were prepared.

Section 6.12 Title Insurance and Surveys.

If Buyer requests extended coverage policies or any endorsements to the Title Policies, Buyer shall also be responsible for the cost of such extended coverage and endorsements and the delivery of any documentation required by the Title Company in connection with the issuance of such extended coverage and endorsements (including surveys or zoning reports), however, Seller shall deliver the documentation required by the Title Company in connection therewith as described below. At Buyer’s request, Seller and its Affiliates shall cooperate with and assist Buyer with any reasonable request in Buyer’s efforts to obtain the Title Policies and shall execute and deliver to the Title Company such affidavits, certificates and other documentation as are customary and reasonably requested to cause the Title Company to issue CLTA Standard Coverage Policy – 1990 for the Owned Real Property or the Leased Real Property (including assistance to obtain a “non-imputation” or similar endorsement), provided that no such cooperation or assistance and nothing in such affidavits, certificates or documentation shall require Seller or its Affiliates to incur any Obligations to any Person that are not otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding, Seller shall

use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide, in support of any such “non-imputation” or similar endorsement, a legal opinion to the Title Company from the general counsel of the Company, subject to customary assumptions and qualifications, as to such counsel’s opinion, without additional inquiry, as to the status of the title rights of the Company to the Owned Real Property lying within the boundary fence of the Refinery. In no event shall Seller be obligated to seek estoppel certificates in connection with any of the Leased Real Properties. Prior to Closing, Buyer may, at its sole cost and expense, obtain and update any surveys pertaining to the Owned Real Property or the Leased Real Property; provided, however, that any such surveys and survey updates shall be performed by a surveyor acceptable to Seller, the approval of which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Neither Buyer’s or any of its lenders’ receipt of any new or updated surveys shall constitute a condition to Closing or form the basis for delaying Closing; however, Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer prior to the Closing to permit Buyer to attempt to procure any surveys of the Real Property Interests that Buyer reasonably deems necessary, all at Buyer’s sole risk, cost and expense.

Section 6.13 Cooperation with Respect to Financial Statements. During the Interim Period and after the Closing, Seller shall (and shall cause the Companies during the Interim Period to) provide such reasonable cooperation as may be requested by Buyer with respect to preparation, at Buyer’s expense, of such other financial information in such form and for such periods as may be required pursuant to the requirements of Regulation S-X of the SEC or other applicable U.S. federal securities Laws relating to Buyer’s acquisition of the TH Interest. Any such cooperation shall be provided at Buyer’s expense for third party fees and expenses.

Section 6.14 Closing Date Feedstock Inventory.

(a) During the Interim Period as Buyer may reasonably request, Seller shall meet with Buyer and its representatives to discuss Seller’s plans for nominations for and purchases of Feedstock Inventory in anticipation of the Closing.

At or prior to such meeting, Buyer may propose changes to the Refinery Operational Plan and to Seller’s ordinary course of business of handling the Committed Refinery Inventory in order to support Buyer’s planned operation of the Refinery after the Closing. Seller shall take actions during the Interim Period as are necessary to cause the Feedstock Inventory plus the Undelivered Refinery Inventory and the Committed Refinery Inventory, as of the Measurement Time, to include a supply chain of crude oil, feedstock and blendstock in quantities that Seller reasonably expects are sufficient to continue to support the Refinery Operational Plan for sixty (60) days after the Closing Date.

(b) Buyer understands and agrees that it is the intent of the Parties to make Buyer ultimately responsible, regardless of whether the Closing occurs and regardless of any reason that the Closing does not occur, for the cost of all Undelivered Refinery Inventory and Committed Refinery Inventory under the terms hereof, as well as all Taxes, incidental costs and expenses, and other Obligations, Claims and Losses arising out of, incurred in connection with or relating to activities relating to the Undelivered Refinery Inventory and the Committed Refinery Inventory; provided, however, such understanding does not apply in the event (i) all of the conditions to Closing pursuant to Article VIII are satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be performed at Closing) and Seller defaults in its Obligation to consummate the Closing or (ii) Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(c) solely due to the breach by Seller of its Fundamental Representations (excluding representations and warranties contained in Section 4.15) provided that all of the other conditions to

Closing pursuant to Article VIII were satisfied at the time of Buyer’s termination (other than those conditions that by their nature were to be performed at Closing).

(c) Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to nominate shipments of Committed Refinery Inventory for delivery to the Refinery, and shall provide Buyer with confirmations of the scheduled shipments promptly upon receipt by Seller and its Affiliates.

Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall discuss with and provide information to Seller relating to the credentials, experience and training of personnel employed and expected to be employed by Buyer and its Affiliates to manage and operate the Refinery from and after the Closing.

(ii) Seller shall assume or retain responsibility and liability, if any, for all Long-Term Inactive Employees, except to the extent that any Long-Term Inactive Employee becomes re-employed by the Company under Section 7.1(a)(iii) and Buyer shall assume and retain responsibility and liability, if any, for all Short-Term Inactive Employees, except to the extent Seller may be responsible for providing long-term disability benefits with respect to the disability of any Post-Closing Employee in any case in which the onset of the disability occurred on or prior to the Closing. Any such Short-Term Employee who then becomes eligible for long-term disability benefits provided by Seller as contemplated in the foregoing sentence shall in no event be considered an Employee of Seller after Closing and shall not otherwise be eligible for any other benefits offered to eligible employees of Seller after the Closing. Moreover, such individual shall not be considered a Long-Term Inactive Employee as defined herein.

(iii) Buyer shall cause the Company to re-employ each Long-Term Inactive Employee on the date such employee is able to return to work, provided such return to work is

within twelve (12) months of the initial date of disability. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, upon re-employment, each such employee shall be considered a Post-Closing Employee for all purposes herein and shall no longer be considered a Long-Term Inactive Employee.

(iv) The provisions of this Section 7.1(a) do not create any new or additional right or expectation of continued employment for Employees with the Company, Buyer, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates or otherwise modifies any employment at will status of any individual.

(b) Employment Data. Seller shall, as of thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, provide Buyer with employment data, including the name, title, employment history (including years of service), and current salary, base wages, bonus and incentive opportunity, sick or short-term disability pay, exempt or non-exempt status, and the job grade of each Employee that is employed by the Company as of the Closing Date and Company Plans and Company Benefit Obligations in which each such Employee participates.

(c) Orderly Transition. Each Employee who continues employment with the Company after the Closing as described above is referred to herein as a “Post-Closing Employee.”

The terms of the Buyer’s Plans, as well as the compensation terms applicable to each such Post-Closing Employee, shall be, in the aggregate, comparable to those offered by the Company, Seller or Seller’s Affiliates, as applicable, to such Post-Closing Employee prior to the Closing Date.

(e) Union Recognition. Buyer shall cause the Company to continue to recognize the Union as the exclusive representative of the bargaining unit at the Refinery and adopt the current CBA including existing Memoranda Agreement.

Section 7.2 Service Recognition for Post-Closing Employees. Except as provided in this Section 7.2, Buyer shall ensure that all of Buyer’s Plans in which the Post-Closing Employees participate after the Closing recognize the years of service with the Company or its Affiliates and predecessor employers prior to the Closing of any such Post-Closing Employees (to the extent such past service as reflected in the employment data furnished to Buyer pursuant to Section 7.1) for eligibility, vesting and benefit determination purposes to the same extent as such Post-Closing Employee was entitled, before the Closing, to credit for such service under any similar Seller’s Plans, but Buyer shall have no Obligation to recognize such years of service for benefit accrual purposes. Without limiting the foregoing none of the Company, Buyer or their respective Affiliates shall have any Obligation to recognize such past service for the determination of benefit amounts payable under a defined benefit pension plan but will recognize such service for eligibility and vesting purposes under the Buyer’s Plans.

Section 7.3 Pension Plan Coverage.

(a) On and after the Closing, Post-Closing Employees shall become participants in a tax-qualified pension plan to be established or maintained by Buyer as of the Closing Date (“Buyer’s Pension Plan”) with full credit for eligibility, vesting and benefit entitlement purposes (but not for benefit accrual) for service with the Company or its Affiliates and predecessor employers prior to the Closing as provided for in Section 7.2. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer’s Pension Plan may be a

defined contribution plan. As of the Closing Date, Post-Closing Employees who are participants in the Tesoro Corporation Retirement Plan or the Tesoro Corporation Restoration Retirement Plan (collectively, the “Seller’s Pension Plans”) shall be fully vested in their accrued benefits under the Seller’s Pension Plans, and all Obligations under the Seller’s Pension Plans shall remain the obligations of Seller, and none of Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any Obligation with respect to Seller’s Pension Plans.

(b) Buyer shall permit each Post-Closing Employee to elect on the Closing Date (or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable) a direct rollover of his or her eligible rollover distributions, except to the extent of any outstanding plan loans or as prohibited by applicable Law, under the Tesoro Corporation Thrift Plan, the Tesoro Corporation Retail Savings Plan, and the Tesoro Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (collectively, the “Seller’s Savings Plans”) to a tax-qualified deferred contribution plan to be established by Buyer as of the Closing Date (the “Buyer’s Savings Plan”). Any such rollovers shall be made to the Buyer’s Savings Plan in cash. Seller represents, covenants and agrees with respect to the Seller’s Savings Plans, and Buyer represents, covenants and agrees with respect to the Buyer’s Savings Plan, that, as of each date of a rollover described in this paragraph, such plan (i) is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 401 (a) and (k) of the Code, and (ii) will have received, or an application will be timely filed for, a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service regarding such qualified status. Buyer will have no Obligation with respect to amounts attributable to Seller’s Savings Plans other than acceptance of the rollovers requested by Post-Closing Employees. Seller shall take (or shall cause its Affiliates to take) any action required to ensure that Post-Closing Employees who are participants in the Seller’s Savings Plans shall be fully vested in their accounts in the Seller’s Savings Plans.

Section 7.4 Welfare Plan Coverage.

(a) With respect to each Post-Closing Employee who elects to participate in Welfare Plans to be established by Buyer prior to the expiration of the transition period as contemplated under the Transition Services Agreement, Buyer shall, to the extent allowed under Buyer’s Welfare Plans, waive any pre-existing condition exclusions to coverage, any evidence of insurability provisions, any active at work requirement and any waiting period or service requirements that did not exist or had been waived or otherwise satisfied under Seller’s Welfare Plans, provided the Post-Closing Employee enrolls within the period of time required under the terms of the plan after first becoming eligible to enroll.

(b) Buyer shall establish a flexible spending plan (“Buyer’s FSP”) prior to the Closing. Post-Closing Employees shall be eligible to participate in Buyer’s FSP following the Closing. Buyer and Seller agree to determine an appropriate transition strategy for outstanding balances held by Post-Closing Employees under Seller’s flexible spending plan and the reimbursement of claims thereunder to the extent necessary.

Section 7.5 Post-Retirement Welfare Benefits. Seller and its Affiliates shall be responsible for all post-retirement medical, dental and life insurance (“Retiree Welfare Benefit”) coverage for any Employees eligible for retirement as of the Closing Date or eligible former employees who do not become Post-Closing Employees and none of Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates will have any Obligation with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall be responsible for all Retiree Welfare Benefit coverage for all Post-Closing Employees that are not eligible for retirement, pursuant to Company Plans, as of the Closing Date under the plan established by the Company or Buyer after the Closing Date.

Section 7.6 Other Benefits.

(a) Vacation. Promptly following the Closing Date, Seller shall pay Post-Closing Employees for vacation that the Post-Closing Employees have accumulated under Seller’s vacation policy up to and including the Closing Date. Post-Closing Employees shall be covered by Buyer’s vacation policy/schedule following the Closing Date and going forward but with recognition of past service to determine vacation entitlement levels such that no Post-Closing Employee shall be provided an annual vacation entitlement less than that provided under Seller’s vacation policy, which shall be pro-rated for the 2013 calendar year for their time of employment with Buyer or its Affiliates. Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Seller will provide to Buyer a list of the annual vacation entitlement for the Post- Closing Employees.

(b) Bonuses. Promptly following the Closing Date, Seller shall pay (or cause its Affiliates to pay) to eligible Post-Closing Employees at the time of Closing a pro rata portion of any bonuses payable for 2013 based on the number of days prior to the Closing that the Post-Closing Employees were covered under Tesoro’s bonus plan, such payments to be based on targeted bonus amounts for such employees under Tesoro’s bonus plan.

(c) Tuition Reimbursement. Buyer agrees to reimburse Post-Closing Employees for tuition payments incurred by such Employees after the Closing for courses that began before the Closing, but only if such courses qualified for reimbursement under Seller’s Educational Assistance plan.

Section 7.7 Liabilities and Indemnities.

(a) Post-Closing Severance. Buyer shall provide severance in accordance with Section 7.7(a) of the Disclosure Schedules for Post-Closing Employees terminated by the Company or any of its Affiliates. Buyer and the Company shall be responsible for, and Buyer shall indemnify the Seller Indemnitees from and against all Claims and Losses arising out of the notification or other requirements of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, as amended (the “WARN Act”) or any state or local law equivalent incurred with respect to Post-Closing Employees after the Closing. However, Seller shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees from and against all Claims and Losses arising out of the notification or other requirements of the WARN Act or any state or local law equivalent with respect to Employees who do not become Post-Closing Employees, whether or not the termination occurs prior to, on, or after the Closing.

(b) Workers’ Compensation. Seller shall be responsible for workers’ compensation claims with respect to any Post-Closing Employee to the extent the incident or alleged incident giving rise to the claim occurred at or prior to the Closing. Buyer and the Company shall be responsible for any workers’ compensation claims with respect to any Post-Closing Employee to the extent the incident or alleged incident giving rise to the claim occurs after the Closing. In the event of doubt as to the date of the occurrence of the incident or alleged incident, Buyer shall process the claim. With respect to all workers’ compensation or similar claims (hereinafter “Compensation Claims”) filed with an appropriate agency by or on behalf of any Post-Closing Employee (such employees are, for purposes of this paragraph, hereinafter collectively referred to as a “Claiming Employee”), or by the spouse, dependent(s) or personal representative of such Claiming Employee which is first filed after the Closing, (i) Seller shall process, defend and be responsible for, and shall indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees from and against any such Compensation Claim if the incident or alleged incident giving rise to the claim is alleged to have occurred on or prior to the Closing, (ii) Buyer shall process, defend and be responsible for, and shall indemnify the Seller Indemnitees from and against any such Compensation Claim if the incident or alleged incident giving rise to the claim is alleged to have occurred subsequent to the Closing, and (iii) in the event any such Compensation Claim is filed after the Closing and the incident

or alleged incident giving rise to the claim is alleged to have occurred both prior and subsequent to the Closing, Buyer shall, in consultation with Seller and taking into account Seller’s reasonable suggestions, process such claim (and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for its allocable portion of the reasonable cost of defense), and the liability for such claim as between the Parties shall be based upon the length of exposure to such incident or alleged incident while employed by the Company before and after the Closing. Thus, as between the Parties, the proportionate share of liability shall equal a fraction the denominator of which shall be the Claiming Employee’s total length of exposure to such incident or alleged incident, and the numerator of which shall be in the case of Buyer, the Claiming Employee’s total length of exposure while employed after the Closing, and in the case of Seller, the Claiming Employee’s total length of exposure while employed prior to the Closing.

(c) None of Buyer, the Company or Affiliates shall have any liability or obligation with respect to any Company Plan or Company Benefit Obligation, and Seller shall take all necessary actions to remove the Company as a participating employer under all such plans after the Closing Date.

Section 7.8 No Third Party Beneficiaries. No provision of Section 7.1 through Section 7.7, whether express or implied, shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Person, including any employee or former employee (and any beneficiaries, dependents or representatives thereof) of the Company, Seller or Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, and no provision of Section 7.1 through Section 7.7, whether express or implied, shall create such third-party beneficiary rights in any Person (including the Union or any Represented Employee), in either case in respect of any compensation or benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any employee benefit plan or arrangement of Buyer or its Affiliates or to claim any right to employment or recall, any right to continued employment or any other right of any kind or nature whatsoever and shall not be interpreted to amend any employee benefit plan, policy or program.

Section 7.9 Insurance.

(a) Seller and Buyer acknowledge that Seller participates in a program of property and liability insurance coverage for itself and its Affiliates. This program has been designed to achieve a coordinated risk-management package for Seller and all of its Affiliates. The program consists of various types of policies including: (i) policies issued to Seller or its predecessors; (ii) policies issued directly to Affiliates by one of Seller’s wholly-owned insurance companies (“Seller Captive Insurers”); (iii) policies issued to Affiliates by one of the Seller Captive Insurers that may or may not be reinsured by third party insurers; and (iv) policies issued under a fronting arrangement policy (or its equivalent) by third party insurers that may or may not be reinsured (including through a guarantee, indemnity, letter of credit or similar undertaking) by Tesoro or its Affiliates. All of the insurance policies through which the program of coverage is presently or has previously been provided by or to Seller, its predecessors or Affiliates (including the Company and the Acquired Subsidiary) are herein referred to collectively as the “Seller Policies.” It is understood and agreed by Buyer that from and after the Closing:

(i) No insurance coverage shall be provided under the Seller Policies to Buyer, the Company or the Acquired Subsidiary;

(ii) Any and all policies insured or reinsured by any of the Seller Captive Insurers which, but for this provision, would have insured the Refinery shall be deemed terminated, commuted and cancelled ab initio as to the Refinery, the Business, Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company and the Acquired Subsidiary), but without prejudice to Seller’s and its Affiliates’ rights thereunder; and

(iii) No Claims regarding any matter whatsoever, whether or not arising from events occurring prior to the Closing, shall be made by Buyer, the Company or the Acquired Subsidiary against or with respect to any of the Seller Policies, regardless of their date of issuance.

(b) Buyer shall procure, pay for and maintain in effect its own policies of insurance with respect to the Business and the Assets and shall indemnify and defend Seller and its Affiliates against, and shall hold them harmless from, any Orders, Claims, Losses or other Obligations arising out of claims made after the Closing against any of the Seller Policies by the Company, the Acquired Subsidiary, Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Person claiming to be subrogated to Buyer’s or any of its Affiliates’ rights. Such indemnity shall cover, without limitation, any claim by an insurer for reinsurance, retrospective premium payments, prospective premium increases or any other restitution or funding requirements attributable to any such claim or policy requirements.

Section 7.10 Tax Matters.

(a) Straddle Period Allocation. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes (other than Property, Motor Fuels, and Sales Taxes) of the Company and the Acquired Subsidiary for the portion of the Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of and including the Closing Date (with exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) apportioned between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the portion of such Straddle Period after the Pre-Closing Tax Period based on the number of days in each such period), and the amount of any real property, personal property, ad valorem or similar Taxes, motor fuels Taxes, Hawaii general excise Taxes or sales or use Taxes of the Company and the Acquired Subsidiary (“Property, Motor Fuels, and Sales Taxes”) for the portion of the Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Property, Motor Fuels, and Sales Taxes for the entire Straddle Period, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. For the avoidance of doubt, no election shall be made under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii) to ratably allocate income with respect to Acquired Subsidiary or the transactions or matters contemplated herein.

(b) Tax Returns. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.10(g):

(ii) Buyer shall prepare and timely file (taking into account all valid extensions), or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed (taking into account all valid extensions), all Tax Returns of the Company or the Acquired Subsidiary covering a Straddle Period (each, a “Straddle Tax Return”), and each such Straddle Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past custom and practice except as otherwise required by applicable Law or fact.

Subject to Seller’s obligations pursuant to Section 7.10(b)(iii) and the indemnification obligations of Seller pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(iv), the Company or the Acquired Subsidiary, as applicable, shall be responsible for timely paying (taking into account all valid extensions) all Taxes reflected on a Straddle Tax Return to the applicable Taxing Authority.

(iii) To the extent the Taxes reflected on a Pre-Closing Tax Return are the obligation of Seller pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(iv), Seller will pay to Buyer the amount of Taxes reflected on such Pre-Closing Tax Return on the date that such Pre-Closing Tax Return is filed with the applicable Taxing Authority. To the extent Taxes reflected on a Straddle Tax Return are the obligation of Seller pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(iv), Seller will pay to Buyer the amount of Taxes reflected on such Straddle Tax Return, as applicable, that are the obligation of Seller pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(iv) within five (5) Business Days after the later of (i) a written request by Buyer, or (ii) the date that such Straddle Tax Return was filed with the applicable Taxing Authority.

(c) Amended Tax Returns. Buyer shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Affiliates, the Company, or the Acquired Subsidiary to (i) amend any Tax Return of the Company or the Acquired Subsidiary that covers a Pre-Closing Tax Period or (ii) make any Tax election that has retroactive effect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d) Tax Contests.

(i) Buyer shall notify Seller in writing within ten (10) days of receipt by Buyer (or any Buyer Indemnitee) of written notice of any pending or threatened audits, adjustments, claims, examinations, assessments or other administrative or judicial proceedings with the purpose or effect of re-determining Taxes of or with respect to the Company or the Acquired Subsidiary (including any administrative or judicial review of any claim for refund) for which Seller may be required to provide indemnification pursuant to this Agreement (a “Tax Contest”), and shall provide Seller with a copy of any such written notice. Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within ten (10) days of receipt by Seller of written notice of any pending or threatened Tax Contest, and shall provide Buyer with a copy of any such written notice. The failure of either Buyer or Seller to provide a notification described in this Section 7.10(d)(i) shall not release Seller or Buyer, respectively, from its obligations hereunder except to the extent, and only to the extent, that the party that was supposed to receive the notification is prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(ii) Seller shall have the right to control and defend the conduct of any Tax Contest covering any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Tax Contest”) with counsel (including, for the avoidance of doubt, accountants) of its choice; provided, however, that (A) Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of the Pre-Closing Tax Contest, (B) Buyer may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense, and participate in the defense of with respect to the Pre-Closing Tax Contest, including having an opportunity to review and reasonably comment on any written materials prepared in connection with such Pre-Closing Tax Contest and the right to attend and participate in any conferences relating thereto, and (C) Seller will not settle or consent to the entry of any Order or other similar determination or finding with respect to such Pre-Closing Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, the term Tax Contest shall not include, and this Section 7.10(d) shall not apply to, any audits, adjustments, claims, examinations, assessments or other administrative or judicial proceedings with the purpose or effect of re-determining Taxes of or with respect to any Tax Return of the Seller Affiliated Group (which includes the consolidated U.S. federal income tax return of the Seller Affiliated Group).

(e) Refunds. The amount or economic benefit of any refund (whether in cash or as a credit against or offset to any Tax) in respect of any Tax of the Company or the Acquired Subsidiary attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period received by Buyer, the Company, the Acquired Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates shall be for the account of Seller, and the recipient thereof shall pay such amount (including any interest received thereon) over to the Seller within ten (10) days after any such refund is received, credited or applied as an offset, as the case may be.

(f) Cooperation. Each of Buyer and Seller, and each of their respective Affiliates, shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns of or with respect to the Company or the Acquired Subsidiary and/or during the course of any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes of or attributable to the Company or the Acquired Subsidiary. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Each of Seller and Buyer agrees, (i) that Seller shall retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertaining to the Company and the Acquired Subsidiary relating to any taxable period beginning on or before the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods; shall provide copies of the foregoing to Buyer upon Buyer’s request; and shall abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority, and (ii) to give the other Party (and following the Closing, Buyer agrees to cause the Company and the Acquired Subsidiary to give the Seller) reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, on receipt of such notice, if the other Party so requests, Seller or Buyer shall, as applicable, allow the other Party to take possession of such books and records. Buyer and Seller further agree, upon request, to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

(g) Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, Hawaii general excise, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest), incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid by Buyer when due, and Buyer will file, or cause to be filed all necessary Tax Returns and other documents with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges; provided that Seller shall reimburse Buyer for 50% of any such Transfer Taxes (excluding any penalties or interest incurred by Buyer).

(h) Tax Treatment. For all U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and state, local, and foreign Tax purposes where applicable), each of Seller and Buyer intend for the purchase of the TH Interest to be treated as a sale of all the Assets (and the Subsidiary Stock), subject to all the Company Assumed Liabilities. Seller and Buyer shall each report, and shall cause each of their Affiliates where applicable to report, the purchase of the TH Interest pursuant to this Agreement consistent with such intended treatment for all U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and state, local, and foreign Tax purposes where applicable). Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, each of Seller and Buyer agrees that it will not, and will not permit its Affiliates to, take any position for Tax purposes (whether on any Tax Return, in any Tax proceeding, or otherwise) that is inconsistent with such intended treatment.

(i) Section 338(h)(10) Elections.

(i) Because of the intended treatment set forth in Section 7.10(h), each of Seller and Buyer intend for the deemed purchase and sale of the Assets to result in the deemed

purchase and sale of the Subsidiary Shares and, therefore, intend for such deemed purchase and sale of the Subsidiary Shares to qualify as a “qualified stock purchase” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.338(h)(10)-1(c). Seller and Buyer shall make a joint election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and under any comparable provision of applicable state, local, and foreign Law with respect to Buyer’s deemed purchase of the Subsidiary Shares (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Elections”). Buyer and Seller shall take all necessary steps and cooperate in good faith, including the exchange of information, to effect and preserve valid and timely Section 338(h)(10) Elections. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, each of Seller and Buyer agrees that (A) it shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates, to report, act and file all Tax Returns in all respects and for all purposes consistent with the Section 338(h)(10) Elections, and (B) it will not, and will not permit its Affiliates to, take any position that is inconsistent with the Section 338(h)(10) Elections.

(ii) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver an Internal Revenue Service Form 8023, Elections Under Section 338 for Corporations Making Qualified Stock Purchases, and any corresponding forms under comparable provisions of applicable state, local or foreign tax Law, in substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Election Forms”). At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer such Section 338(h)(10) Election Forms, duly executed. Seller authorizes Buyer to file each Section 338(h)(10) Election Form with the appropriate Taxing Authority on behalf of Seller and Buyer. Promptly following each such filing, Buyer shall provide Seller with a copy of such filed Section 338(h)(10) Election Forms. As reasonably requested from time to time by Buyer, Seller shall assist Buyer in, and shall provide the necessary information to Buyer, in connection with the preparation of any other forms and documentation required to effect valid and timely Section 338(h)(10) Elections.

(j) Purchase Price Allocations.

(i) Within ninety (90) days after the Final Net Working Capital is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.6 Buyer shall deliver to Seller an allocation schedule (the “Asset Purchase Allocation Schedule”) allocating the Purchase Price (together with the Company Assumed Liabilities and other amounts required to be treated as part of the purchase price for U.S. federal income tax purposes) among the Assets (and the Subsidiary Stock) in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(ii) Within ninety (90) days after the Final Net Working Capital is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.6, Buyer shall deliver to Seller an allocation schedule (the “Section 338 Allocation Schedule”) allocating the “aggregate deemed sales price” and the “adjusted grossed-up basis” (as defined under applicable Treasury Regulations) that results from the Section 338(h)(10) Elections among the assets of the Acquired Subsidiary in accordance with Sections 338 and 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(iii) Each of the Asset Purchase Allocation Schedule and the Section 338 Allocation Schedule (each, an “Allocation Schedule,” and collectively, the “Allocation Schedules”) delivered by Buyer shall become final and binding upon Buyer and Seller on the fifteenth (15th) day following the date that such Allocation Schedule was delivered by Buyer to Seller, unless prior to such date Seller notifies Buyer of any reasonable objections to such Allocation Schedule (an “Allocation Schedule Notice of Disagreement”). An Allocation Schedule Notice of Disagreement shall specifically set forth all of Seller’s disputed items to the applicable Allocation Schedule, together with Seller’s proposed changes thereto, including an explanation in reasonable detail of the basis on which Seller proposes such changes. If Seller has

delivered a timely Allocation Schedule Notice of Disagreement with respect to an Allocation Schedule, then Buyer and Seller shall use their good faith efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items to determine the final and binding Allocation Schedule. If all of Seller’s disputed items with respect to an Allocation Schedule have not been resolved by Buyer and Seller by the thirtieth (30th) day following the date that Buyer receives the Allocation Schedule Notice of Disagreement with respect to such Allocation Schedule, then the items that are still disputed shall be submitted to binding arbitration to be determined by the Arbiter. The Arbiter’s determination of the disputed issues shall in no event be more favorable to Buyer than reflected on such Allocation Schedule as proposed by Buyer or more favorable to Seller than reflected in the proposed changes to such Allocation Schedule delivered by Seller in the Allocation Schedule Notice of Disagreement. Following the determination by the Arbiter, such Allocation Schedule shall be revised to include the determination of the Arbiter on the disputed issues, and such revised Allocation Schedule shall be final and binding upon Buyer and Seller. The fees and expenses of any such arbitration shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Buyer and fifty percent (50%) by Seller.

(iv) Any adjustment of the Purchase Price, and to any other items of consideration, cost or expense taken into account in the Allocation Schedules for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be allocated in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedules that has become final and binding pursuant to this Section 7.10(j). Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, (A) each of Buyer and Seller shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates, to report, act and file all Tax Returns in all respects and for all purposes consistent with the Allocation Schedules determined to be final and binding pursuant to this Section 7.10(j), and (B) each of Buyer and Seller will not, and will not permit of any of its Affiliates to, take any position that is inconsistent with such final and binding Allocation Schedules.

(k) Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, each of Buyer and Seller agree that any indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated as Purchase Price adjustments for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and state, local, and foreign Tax purposes where applicable).

(l) Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving the Company or the Acquired Subsidiary shall be terminated as of the Closing Date, and after the Closing Date, the Company and the Acquired Subsidiary shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

(m) Consolidated Returns for Periods Through the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall include the income of the Acquired Subsidiary (including any deferred items triggered into income by Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-12 and any excess loss account taken into income under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-19) on the Seller Affiliated Group’s consolidated U.S. federal income tax return for all periods through the end of the Closing Date and pay any U.S. federal income taxes attributable to such income, subject to indemnification by Buyer as may be herein provided. The Company and the Acquired Subsidiary shall furnish Tax information to the Seller as necessary or helpful with respect to the foregoing.

(n) Tax Withholding. With respect to any amount of Taxes deducted or withheld by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(i)(7), Buyer shall timely pay the full amount of any such Taxes deducted or withheld to the applicable Taxing Authority and provide written notice to Seller of such payments when made.

(o) Conflict. In the event of conflict between any of the provisions of this Section 7.10 and any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 7.10 shall control.

Section 7.11 No Solicitation/Non-Competition.

(a) To the extent not prohibited by Law, for a period of five (5) years after the Closing, Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, hire, employ or engage, or seek to hire, employ or engage, any employee of Seller or any of its Affiliates without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Seller; provided, that the provisions of this Section 7.11 shall not apply to general solicitations not specifically targeted towards such employees, nor shall they apply to Post-Closing Employees.

(b) In (i) consideration for the purchase by Buyer of the TH Interests and the goodwill, if any, associated therewith, with which Seller is associated and which Seller is causing to be sold, (ii) order to protect the goodwill obtained by Buyer as a result of the acquisition of the TH Interests, and (iii) order to satisfy certain conditions to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Seller expressly covenants and agrees that, during the Prohibited Period, Seller will refrain from carrying on or engaging directly in the Business (as conducted as of the Closing Date) in the State of Hawaii (the “Restricted Area”). Seller agrees and covenants that, because the following conduct would effectively constitute carrying on or engaging in the Business, Seller will not, in the Restricted Area during the Prohibited Period, (1) own, manage, operate or directly participate in any business or Person which, to Seller’s Knowledge, engages in the Business (as conducted as of the Closing Date) or (2) directly loan money (excluding purchase money indebtedness) to any business or Person which, to Seller’s Knowledge, engages in the Business where the purpose of such loan is to promote the Business (as conducted as of the Closing Date) in the Restricted Area. For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence shall not prohibit sales by Seller to wholesale customers of products similar to the Hydrocarbon Inventory that are ultimately resold or used in the Restricted Area by Persons other than Seller or its Affiliates. As used in this Agreement, “Prohibited Period” means the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Closing Date.

(c) To the extent that any part of this Section 7.11 may be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, it is intended that such part shall be enforceable to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such part, if more limited in scope, would have been enforceable, such part shall be deemed to have been so written and the remaining parts shall as written be effective and enforceable in all events and the Parties agree to request that such court enforce this Section 7.11 as if so written.

(d) The Parties agree that the limitations as to time, geographic area and scope of activity to be restrained as set forth in this Section 7.11 are reasonable and do not impose any greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill, if any, that Seller is selling and causing to be sold pursuant to this Agreement and are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Buyer and that these limitations are intended to comply with all Laws. The Parties agree that, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Section 7.11, Buyer shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief, as any such breach may cause Buyer irreparable injury for which it would have no adequate remedy at law. Nothing herein shall be construed so as to prohibit Buyer from pursuing or realizing any other remedies available to it under this Agreement, at law or in equity for any such breach or threatened breach.

(e) Seller acknowledges that the geographic scope and duration of the covenants contained in this Section 7.11 are the result of arm’s-length bargaining and are fair and reasonable in light of (i) the nature and wide geographic scope of the operations of the Business (as conducted as of the

Closing Date), (ii) Seller’s level of control over, contact with, and association with the goodwill of, the Business (as conducted as of the Closing Date) in all jurisdictions in which it is conducted, (iii) the fact that the Business (as conducted as of the Closing Date) is conducted by the Companies throughout the Restricted Area, and (iv) the consideration that Seller is receiving in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the amount of goodwill for which Buyer is paying. It is the desire and intent of the Parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under Law, whether now or hereafter in effect and therefore, to the extent permitted by Law, the parties waive any provision of Law that would render any provision of this Section 7.11 invalid or unenforceable.

Section 7.12 Third Person Consents Not Obtained Prior To Closing.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Seller Contract or any benefit arising under or resulting from such Seller Contract if an attempted assignment thereof, without a required Third Person Consent or Authorization, would constitute a breach or other contravention of the rights of such third party, would be ineffective with respect to any party to an agreement concerning such Seller Contract, would violate or otherwise is not permitted by Law or would in any way adversely affect the rights of Seller or, upon transfer, of the Company under or in respect of such Seller Contract. If any transfer or assignment by Seller to, or any assumption by the Company of, any interest in, or Obligation under, any Seller Contract, requires any Third Person Consent or Authorization, then no such assignment or assumption shall be made without such Third Person Consent or Authorization being obtained. To the extent any Seller Contract may not be assigned to the Company by reason of the absence of any such Third Person Consent or Authorization, the Company shall not be required to assume any Obligations arising under such Seller Contract; provided, however, that upon the receipt of any such Third Person Consent or Authorization after the Closing, such Seller Contract shall be assigned to the Company and the Company shall assume such Seller Contract.

(b) If any such Third Person Consent or Authorization is not obtained prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall, to the extent not prohibited by the terms of any applicable Seller Contract or Law and until the receipt of such Third Person Consent or Authorization, hold the Seller Contract, subject to such Third Person Consent or Authorization, together with any proceeds therefrom, in trust for the Company, and Seller and the Company shall cooperate (each at its own expense) in any mutually acceptable, lawful and reasonable arrangement under which the Company shall obtain, to the extent practicable, the economic rights and benefits under such Seller Contract with respect to which the Third Person Consent or Authorization has not been obtained in accordance with this Agreement. Such reasonable arrangement may include the entering into of a subcontract, sublicense, sublease or other similar arrangement between Seller and the Company. During the period from Closing until such Third Person Consent or Authorization is obtained, Seller will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to enforce such Seller Contracts for the benefit of the Company, on the condition that the Company shall bear all costs and expenses (including legal expenses) related to such enforcement. If the Company is able to receive the economic rights and benefits under such Seller Contract, such economic rights and benefits shall constitute an Asset, and the Obligations, if any, related to such economic rights and benefits under such Asset shall constitute Obligations of the Company (other than any Obligations arising out of or relating to a breach or any operation of the Business or the ownership or operation of the Assets that occurred prior to the Effective Time), as applicable. Seller’s Obligations under this Section 7.12(b) shall expire as of the second (2^nd) anniversary of the Closing Date.

(c) In the event that any Third Person Consent is not obtained prior to the Closing Date related to those certain Leased Real Properties set forth in the electronic folder titled “Specified Leased Real Property Consents” located in the Data Room and the lack of such Third Person Consents results in a termination of the leases related to such Leased Real Properties within ninety (90) days after

the Closing Date, then Seller agrees to negotiate in good faith with Buyer after the Closing for a refund/reduction in the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the combined discounted value to the Company of the anticipated lost net income associated with the termination of such leases.

Section 7.13 Multi-Site Contracts. Section 7.13 of the Disclosure Schedules sets forth a list of certain “master” contracts and agreements that the Company or the Acquired Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise authorized to utilize, and which pertain to multiple refineries and facilities owned by Seller and its Affiliates in addition to the Assets (each, a “Multi-Site Contract” and collectively, the “Multi-Site Contracts”). Some of those Multi-Site Contracts may constitute Seller Contracts or Material Company Contracts. With respect to all Multi-Site Contracts, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall not be entitled to remain or become a party thereto, or otherwise make use thereof, after Closing, and it is Seller’s intention to terminate all Multi-Site Contracts as to the Company effective as of Closing. Notwithstanding such termination, the Company shall be obligated to honor any work releases, purchase commitments or other similar commitments made by them under any Multi-Site Contracts prior to Closing, but not yet fully performed or satisfied as of Closing, so long as such commitments were not made in violation of Seller’s Obligations under Section 6.2. To the extent a Multi-Site Contract by its terms is not terminable as to the Company, Buyer covenants and agrees to (i) negotiate in good faith with the counterparty(ies) to such Multi-Site Contract in an effort to enter into a new agreement between such counterparty(ies) and the Company as soon as reasonably practicable as possible following Closing, and (ii) until such new agreement becomes effective, honor the terms of the Multi-Site Contract and not make any elective purchases or other elective commitments thereunder. Buyer acknowledges that the terms and conditions of Multi-Site Contracts that relate to other facilities of Seller and its Affiliates other than the Refinery (including rate sheets and other commercial terms and conditions covering such other facilities) are confidential and proprietary information of Seller and its Affiliates, and Buyer shall destroy any such information it may inadvertently obtain, and shall not use such information for any purpose. Without limiting any of Buyer’s other indemnification Obligations under this Agreement, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees against any and all Claims and Losses arising out of Buyer’s breach or utilization of any Multi-Site Contract after Closing.

Section 7.14 Operation of Business. During the period commencing at the Closing and ending at the Measurement Time, Buyer (with respect to the Companies and the Business) shall, and shall cause the Companies to operate and maintain the properties and assets of the Companies and the Business in the ordinary course of business (including maintenance of appropriate insurance coverages with respect to the assets to be measured hereunder as of the Measurement Time) and not enter into or effect any transaction outside the ordinary course of business; provided that the Companies shall be permitted to enter into financing arrangements during such period and the Parties agree that the impact of such financing arrangements shall not be taken into account in the determination of Net Working Capital.

Section 7.15 Seller’s Names; Removal of Logos and Signs.

(a) Except as provided in this Section 7.15 or the License Agreement, following the Measurement Time, Buyer will not (and will cause the Companies not to) use or otherwise exploit the Tesoro Marks in the operation of the Business. As promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will stop (and will cause the Companies to stop) using the Tesoro Marks in any form in the operation of the Business except as permitted pursuant to the License Agreement, including by removing, permanently obliterating or covering all references to the Tesoro Marks that appear on any Assets, including all signage, storage containers, uniforms and clothing, promotional or advertising literature, stationery, purchase order forms, office forms and labels, packaging, manuals, policy books, reference materials and other such documents (including signs displaying Seller’s or its Affiliates’ emergency contact telephone numbers or otherwise using or displaying the Tesoro Marks or the phrase “Tesoro” in whole or in part). As promptly as

practical after the Closing Date, Buyer shall post Buyer’s emergency contact telephone numbers in place of any of Seller’s or its Affiliates’ emergency contact telephone numbers. Without limiting the foregoing restrictions, until such time as the Tesoro Marks are removed or covered by Buyer or the Companies as provided above, in no event will Buyer or the Companies use or display the Tesoro Marks in any way other than in the same manner used by the Business immediately prior to the Closing Date and all signs and graphics incorporating any of the Tesoro Marks shall be maintained by Buyer and the Companies in keeping with a first class operation. During any period that the Company is using the Tesoro Marks as provided in this Section 7.15, the Company shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to inform customers, suppliers and contractors that Buyer and the Companies are not part of or Affiliates of Seller and that the Companies are using the Tesoro Marks with permission solely to facilitate the transition of the Business or as permitted pursuant to the License Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, neither Buyer nor the Companies shall have any right to create any new materials to be used in the operation of the Business containing the Tesoro Marks or any right to transfer, assign, license or sublicense any of the Tesoro Marks except as permitted pursuant to the License Agreement. Neither Buyer nor the Companies shall contest the validity of the Tesoro Marks, claim adversely to Seller or its Affiliates any right, title or interest in or to the Tesoro Marks, or the distinctive features of the designs used in connection with the Tesoro Marks, and shall not register, apply to register or aid a third party in registering any of the Tesoro Marks or a confusingly similar trademark or service ▇▇▇▇.

(b) Within ten (10) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall (a) cause the Company to file appropriate documentation with the applicable Governmental Authorities to change the legal name of the Company to remove the name “Tesoro” and any name that would reasonably be expected to be confused therewith; (b) provide Seller evidence of such filings; and (c) take such other actions as required to cause the Company and the Acquired Subsidiary to abandon the name “Tesoro” and any derivation thereof that would reasonably be expected to be confused therewith except to the extent expressly permitted pursuant to the License Agreement.

Section 7.16 Further Assurances. Without limiting Section 6.3, Seller and Buyer each agree that from time to time after the Closing Date they will execute and deliver and will cause their respective Affiliates to execute and deliver such further instruments, and take, and cause their respective Affiliates to take, such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intents of this Agreement and the Related Agreements, including with respect to any consent, authorization, order or approval sought from, or exemption, review, investigation or inquiry conducted by, any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however that the provisions of this Section 7.16 shall not impose any Obligation on any Party or its Affiliates greater than (and shall be subject to limitations similar to) the Obligations imposed on the Parties during the Interim Period pursuant to Section 6.3.

Section 7.17 Retention of and Access to Books and Records.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, Seller will deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer the Books and Records that are in the possession or control of Seller or its Affiliates other than Books and Records in the possession of the Company. Buyer agrees (and shall cause the Company to agree) to hold and maintain the Books and Records that are transferred to Buyer or the Company so that they may be reasonably retrievable and not to destroy or dispose of any portion thereof for a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date or such longer time as may be required by applicable Law, provided, that, if Buyer or the Company desires to destroy or dispose of such Books and Records during such period, they will first offer in writing at least ninety (90) days before such destruction or disposition to surrender them to Seller, and if Seller does not accept such offer within sixty (60) days after receipt of such offer, Buyer or the Company, as applicable, may proceed with the destruction of such Books and Records.

(b) Unless in violation of Law, each Party agrees (and shall cause its Affiliates to agree) to afford the other Party and its Affiliates and their respective accountants and counsel, during normal business hours, upon reasonable request, at a mutually agreeable time, full access to and the right to make copies of the Books and Records delivered to Buyer or other information that Seller retains that relates to the Assets or the Business (including those that are not “Books and Records”) at no cost to such Party or its Affiliates (other than for reasonable out-of-pocket copying expenses); provided, however, that in the event of any litigation, nothing herein shall limit any Party’s rights of discovery under applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentences, each Party agrees to provide the other Party and its Affiliates reasonable access to and the right to make copies of the Books and Records or other information (excluding confidential, privileged or proprietary information) that Seller retains that relates to the Assets or the Business (including those that are not “Books and Records”) after the Closing Date, for the purposes of assisting such Party and its Affiliates (i) in complying with the Obligations under this Agreement or the Related Agreements (including to comply with any indemnity obligations), (ii) in preparing and delivering any accounting statements provided for under this Agreement or the Related Agreements and adjusting, prorating and settling the charges and credits provided for in this Agreement or the Related Agreements, (iii) in the case of the Seller, in owning or operating the Excluded Assets or Retained Liabilities, (iv) in preparing Tax Returns or in responding to or disputing any Tax audit, Tax appeal, other Tax proceeding, (v) in asserting, defending or otherwise dealing with any Claim, known or unknown, under this Agreement or the Related Agreements or, in the case of the Seller, with respect to Excluded Assets or Retained Liabilities or (vii) in asserting, defending or otherwise dealing with any Third-Party Claim or dispute by or against a Party or its Affiliates relating to the Business or the Assets.

Section 7.18 Intellectual Property.

(a) Grants to Intellectual Property Owned by Seller. Seller shall grant and hereby does grant to the Company effective as of the Closing Date, for use by the Company solely in the internal operations of the Refinery in a manner substantially similar to the operations prior to Closing, a non-exclusive, irrevocable royalty-free, paid-up license (without a right to sublicense or transfer except as expressly provided in this Section 7.18) to any Intellectual Property that is owned by Seller or any of its Affiliates, which exists at the Closing Date and which is or has been in use in the operation of the Refinery as currently operated or as operated immediately prior to the Closing (“Seller IP”). Such grant is made without representation, recourse or warranty, and any warranties which may be implied by Law are hereby disclaimed. The sole purpose of this paragraph is to prevent Seller or any of its Affiliates from hereafter bringing any Claims against Buyer or the Company seeking payment of royalties for the use of, or alleging unauthorized use by Buyer or the Company of, any Seller IP, so long as such use is solely in the internal operations of the Refinery in a manner substantially similar to the operations prior to the Closing. Buyer and the Company shall have no obligation to grant back to Seller or its Affiliates or otherwise make available to Seller or any of its Affiliates any improvements or enhancement to any Seller IP that may be developed by Buyer or the Company after the Closing.

(b) Subsequent Transfer of Intellectual Property. In the event the Company transfers or pledges to any Person, ownership of the Refinery, or any part thereof, the license granted in Section 7.18(a) may be extended to such transferee or lender subject to outstanding obligations to third parties and subject to an assumption in writing by such transferee or lender of all relevant duties and obligations under the applicable portions of this Agreement.

(c) Seller Process Licenses. Seller shall transfer to the Company or cause the transfer of (A) all licenses of Intellectual Property held by Seller or its Affiliates that are used exclusively in connection with the operation of the Refinery process units or other Assets as currently operated or as operated immediately prior to the Closing, and (B) that portion of any license agreement covering the

Refinery or other Assets as well as other facilities or assets owned by Seller or its Affiliates (a “Multi-Site License”) that is allocable to the operation of the Refinery process units or other Assets as currently operated or as operated immediately prior to the Closing (the interests in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) being herein collectively referred to as the “Licensed Technology Rights”), in all cases only to the extent that such Licensed Technology Rights are freely transferable or to the extent that the licensor otherwise agrees to such transfer, it being understood that Seller makes no representations or warranties as to the assignability or transferability of any Licensed Technology Rights. Buyer shall be solely responsible for seeking the consent of the licensor(s) of any such Licensed Technology Rights and for paying any costs associated with the transfer of such Licensed Technology Rights or the issuance of replacement licenses; provided, however, that Seller agrees to (i) reasonably cooperate in requesting such transfers and in executing any reasonable transfer or assignment documents that do not impose any Obligations on Seller, and (ii) pay any accrued and unpaid royalties arising out of Seller’s use of the Licensed Technology Rights at the Refinery prior to Closing. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer agrees that Seller shall not be obligated to transfer any Licensed Technology Rights to the Company where such transfer would require Seller or its Affiliates to surrender any paid-up capacity or other rights allocable to other facilities owned by Seller or its Affiliates (but for the avoidance of doubt, Seller will agree to release any Licensed Technology Rights allocable to the Refinery or other Assets under a Multi-Site License). Effective as of and related to the period on and after the Closing Date, Buyer or the Company shall be solely responsible for complying with all Obligations (including non-disclosure, export control and grant-back obligations) under Licensed Technology Rights used by the Company after Closing and shall indemnify, defend and hold the Seller Indemnitees harmless in accordance with Section 11.3 against any Losses they may suffer by reason of Buyer’s or the Company’s failure to do so. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold the Seller Indemnitees harmless in accordance with Section 11.3 against any Losses they may suffer by reason of Buyer’s or the Company’s use of Licensed Technology Rights beyond the use of such rights by the Company as of the Closing.

(d) Seller’s obligations under this Section 7.18 shall expire on the second (2^nd) anniversary of the Closing Date.

Buyer, on behalf of the Companies, hereby further agrees, from and after the Closing Date, not to file or initiate any Proceeding before any Governmental Authority on the basis of or respecting any Pre-Transaction Claim concerning any Pre-Transaction Matter that is released under this Section 7.19(b).

CASUALTY OR CONDEMNATION

Section 9.1 Notice. In the event that, prior to the Closing Date, all or any portion of the tangible Assets are damaged or destroyed by fire, theft, vandalism, flood, wind, hurricane, explosion or other casualty for which the associated repair or replacement costs (excluding insurance or other potential third party reimbursements) would reasonably be expected to exceed $5,000,000 (a “Casualty”) or taken by condemnation or eminent domain or by agreement in lieu thereof with any Person or Governmental Authority authorized to exercise such rights (a “Taking”), Seller shall promptly notify Buyer thereof.

Section 9.2 Repair or Replacement.

(a) In the event of a Casualty or Taking during the Interim Period affecting the tangible Assets, Seller shall elect (i) to repair or replace or make adequate provision for the repair or replacement of the affected Asset at Seller’s cost prior to the Closing, in which case Buyer’s Obligation to effect the Closing shall not be affected, but the Closing Date shall be deferred until three (3) Business Days after repairs or replacement have been completed and the affected Asset has been restored to performance substantially comparable in all material respects to that prior to the Casualty or Taking or (ii) to negotiate with Buyer to reduce the Purchase Price by an amount agreed to by Seller and Buyer to reflect the cost to repair or replace the affected Assets, as may be mutually agreed to by Buyer and Seller (the “Repair Costs”), in which case, in the event of a Repair Cost Dispute, the Closing Date and the Termination Date shall be deferred as provided in Section 9.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller’s election in clause (i) of this Section 9.2(a) shall be unavailable and clause (ii) of this Section 9.2(a) shall apply if the required repairs or replacements would reasonably be expected to result in an extension of the Closing Date for more than forty-five (45) days.

(b) If Seller and Buyer agree on the Repair Costs within fifteen (15) days of Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s notice of the Casualty or Taking (the “Repair Negotiation Period”), Buyer’s Obligation to effect the Closing shall not be affected, but the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of the Repair Costs so agreed that exceeds $5,000,000.

(c) If Seller and Buyer do not agree on the Repair Costs within the Repair Negotiation Period (a “Repair Cost Dispute”), either party may request an engineering company that shall be mutually agreed to by Buyer and Seller to evaluate the affected Assets and deliver to Buyer and Seller

its written estimate of the Repair Costs (the “Third-Party Estimate”) within fifteen (15) days after the end of the Repair Negotiation Period.

(i) If the Third-Party Estimate is equal to or less than $5 million, Buyer’s Obligation to effect the Closing shall not be affected and the Parties shall submit the Repair Cost Dispute to binding arbitration for resolution after the Closing, with a post-Closing adjustment to the Purchase Price equal to the amount by which the finally-determined Repair Costs exceed $5 million in the aggregate.

(ii) If the Third-Party Estimate is equal to or greater than $5 million but less than $20 million, Buyer’s Obligation to effect the Closing shall not be affected, but the Closing Date Payment shall be reduced by the amount that the Third-Party Estimate exceeds $5 million in the aggregate and the Parties shall submit the Repair Cost Dispute to binding arbitration after the Closing, with a post-Closing adjustment of the Purchase Price equal to the amount by which the difference between the Third-Party Estimate and the finally-determined Repair Costs exceed $5 million in the aggregate.

(iii) If the Third-Party Estimate is equal to or greater than $20 million, either Seller or Buyer may elect, by giving the other Party written notice of election within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the Third-Party Estimate, to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(e); provided, however, that if within such time period, Buyer is ready and able to proceed to Closing and agrees in writing to (x) waive the closing condition set forth in Section 8.3(e) with respect to the Refinery Turnaround and Startup Activities and satisfaction of the Startup Criteria and (y) to hold the Closing within five (5) Business Days of such agreement, then Seller shall not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section or Section 10.1(e).

Section 9.4 Purchase Price Adjustment. Any adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 9.2(c) which is necessary to reflect a final determination of Repair Costs after the Closing shall be made as follows: (a) an adjustment in favor of Buyer shall be paid in cash by Seller; and (b) an adjustment in favor of Seller shall be paid in cash to the extent the Purchase Price had been reduced pursuant to this Article IX. Any such reduction, refund or payment shall be made within ten (10) Business Days after such final determination.

Section 9.5 Deferral of Closing Date and Termination Date. In the event of a Repair Cost Dispute, the Closing Date and the Termination Date shall be deferred until (a) three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Third-Party Estimate, or (b) if Seller elects the option in Section 9.2(c)(i), as provided therein.

(c) by Buyer upon notice to Seller, if any of the conditions in Section 8.1 or Section 8.3 shall not have been fulfilled by the Closing Date or are or shall have become incapable of fulfillment on or prior to the Termination Date, provided that in each such case the failure to Close is not due, inter alia, to any breach by Buyer of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other Obligations contained in this Agreement;

(e) by Seller or Buyer upon notice to the other Party, pursuant to Section 9.2(c)(iii).

Section 10.2 Deferral of Closing Date and Termination Date.

The termination of this Agreement shall have no effect on the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement.

ARTICLE XI

INDEMNIFICATION AND REMEDIES

Section 11.1 Survival. Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Agreement, (a) the representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect for a period of eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date (except for those contained in Section 3.1, Section 4.1 and Section 5.1 (Organization and Qualification), Section 3.2, Section 4.2 and Section 5.2 (Authority; Enforceability), Section 3.5 (Ownership of the TH Interest), Section 4.4 (Capitalization of the Company), Section 4.5 (Capitalization of the Acquired Subsidiary), and Section 3.6 and Section 5.5 (Brokers), and Section 4.15 (Taxes) (the foregoing representations hereinafter referred to as the “Fundamental Representations”), which shall survive the Closing until the thirtieth (30^th) day following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and until the resolution of the

Section 11.2 Indemnification Provisions for the Benefit of Buyer.

(a) If the Closing occurs and subject to the other provisions of this Article XI, Seller shall indemnify, defend, save and hold the Buyer Indemnitees harmless from and against any Claims and Losses actually suffered or incurred by them to the extent arising out of or related to:

(i) the breach of any representation or warranty of Seller or the Company contained in this Agreement when made or at and as of the Closing Date (or at and as of such different date or period specified for such representation or warranty) as though such representation and warranty were made at and as of the Closing Date (or such different date or period);

(ii) the breach of any covenants or agreements of Seller contained in this Agreement (other than with respect to the Retained Liabilities and for Taxes, which are covered by clauses (iii) and (iv) below);

(iii) the Retained Liabilities; and

(iv) any and all Taxes, without duplication, (A) imposed on the Company or the Acquired Subsidiary for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (as determined in accordance with Section 7.10(a) for Straddle Periods); (B) for which the Company or the Acquired Subsidiary becomes liable by reason of being a member of any affiliated group (within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the Code or any similar group defined under a similar provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law) on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or foreign Tax Law; (C) for which the Company or the Acquired Subsidiary becomes liable by reason of being a transferee or successor of any Person (other than the Company or the Acquired Subsidiary), by contract or pursuant to any Law, with respect to an event or transaction occurring on or before the Closing Date; and (D) which are the responsibility of Seller as described in Section 7.10(g); provided, however, (Y) in the case of subclauses (A), (B), (C), or (D), only if and to the extent that such Taxes are in excess of the amount, if any, of such Taxes that are included as a liability and taken into account in the Final Net Working Capital that has been finally determined pursuant to Section 2.6, and (Z) that Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees from and against any Claims and Losses arising out of or related to Taxes described in subclause (A) if such Taxes are attributable to transactions occurring after the Closing outside the ordinary course of business (other than any such transactions specifically contemplated by this Agreement).

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all Claims and Losses of the Buyer Indemnitees arising under or related to Environmental Laws (including Third-Party Claims arising under or related to Environmental Laws) shall be governed by the Environmental Agreement and not this Agreement.

(b) No Claim may be asserted nor may any Proceeding be commenced against Seller pursuant to this Section 11.2 unless written notice of such Claim or Proceeding is received by Seller describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such

Claim or Proceeding, and with respect to Claims or Proceedings based on the breach of any representation or warranty, on or prior to the date such representation or warranty ceases to survive as set forth in Section 11.1; provided, however, that no Claim may be asserted nor may any Proceeding be commenced by Buyer against Seller arising out of or related to a breach of any representation or warranty of which Buyer had Knowledge on or prior to the Closing Date and for which Buyer failed to deliver a Breach Notice in accordance with Section 6.4. If a Buyer Indemnitee has recovered any Losses pursuant to one subsection of this Section 11.2(a), such Buyer Indemnitee shall not be entitled to recover the same Losses under another subsection of this Section 11.2(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek recovery under such provisions of this Agreement that maximizes its recovery.

(c) No Claim may be made against Seller for indemnification pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 11.2(a) with respect to any individual action, occurrence or event subject to the indemnifications thereunder (or group of related actions, occurrences or events) unless (i) such individual action, occurrence or event exceeds $5,000 for a Retail Asset, $25,000 for a Logistics Asset and $100,000 for an asset related to the Refinery (individually, each as applicable, the “De Minimis Amount”) (and in such case, no Loss below such De Minimis Amounts be applied to or considered for purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of the Buyer Indemnitees’ Losses) or (ii) such Claim relates to the breach of a Fundamental Representation by Seller.

(d) No Claim may be made against Seller for indemnification pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 11.2(a) unless the aggregate amount of all Claims and Losses of the Buyer Indemnitees with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 11.2(a) (excluding individual Claims and Losses less than the De Minimis Amounts) shall exceed an amount equal to $500,000 (the “Indemnification Deductible”), after which point Seller shall be obligated only to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees from and against such aggregate Claims and Losses (excluding individual Claims and Losses less than the De Minimis Amounts) in excess of the Indemnification Deductible, provided, that the Indemnification Deductible shall not apply with respect to Losses arising under Section 11.2(a)(i) with respect to a breach of a Fundamental Representation by Seller or the Company.

(e) The maximum amount that Seller shall be required to pay pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 11.2(a) in respect of all Claims and Losses by all Buyer Indemnitees shall equal $2,500,000 (the “Indemnification Cap”), after which point Seller will have no Obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees from and against further such Claims and Losses; provided, however, that with respect to a breach of a Fundamental Representation made by Seller or the Company, the maximum amount of Losses that Buyer will be able to recover from Seller pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i) shall not be limited by the Indemnification Cap but shall be limited to an amount not to exceed the Base Amount. In addition, Seller shall have as an affirmative defense to any claim for indemnity under Section 11.2(a)(i) arising out of or related to a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller or the Company that Buyer had Knowledge of such breach on or prior to the Closing Date and Buyer failed to deliver a Breach Notice in accordance with Section 6.4.

(f) Amounts paid by Seller that are counted against or applied toward the Indemnification Deductible or the Indemnification Cap shall not count against and be applied toward the Environmental Deductible and the Indemnification Cap (as such terms are defined in the Environmental Agreement) and vice versa, amounts paid by Seller that are counted against or applied toward the Environmental Deductible or the Environmental Cap shall not count against and be applied toward the Indemnification Deductible and the Indemnification Cap.

(a) If the Closing occurs and subject to the other provisions of this Article XI, Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend, save and hold the Seller Indemnitees harmless from and against any Claims and Losses actually suffered or incurred by them to the extent arising out of or related to:

(i) the breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement when made or at and as of the Closing Date (or at and as of such different date or period specified for such representation or warranty) as though such representation and warranty were made at and as of the Closing Date (or such different date or period);

(ii) the breach of any covenants or agreements of Buyer contained in this Agreement (other than with respect to employees and employee benefits, Taxes, Multi-Site Contracts, Earnout Payments and Startup Activities, which are covered by clauses (v) through (ix) below, respectively);

(iii) the Company Assumed Liabilities;

(iv) the ownership of the TH Interest, the Company, the Acquired Subsidiary, or the Assets after the Effective Time, or the operation of the Business after the Effective Time (in each case excluding the Excluded Assets and the Retained Liabilities and to the extent such Losses are not indemnifiable by Seller pursuant to Section 11.2);

(v) any Obligations of Buyer with respect to employees and employee benefits as provided in Section 7.1 through Section 7.7;

(vi) (A) the breach of any covenants or agreements of Buyer (or any Affiliate of Buyer, which includes the Companies post-Closing) with respect to Taxes contained in this Agreement, or (B) any Obligations of Buyer (or any Affiliate of Buyer, which includes the Companies post-Closing) with respect to Taxes which are the responsibility of Buyer (or any Affiliate of Buyer, which includes the Companies post-Closing) as provided in Section 7.10;

(vii) any Obligations of Buyer with respect to Multi-Site Contracts as provided in Section 7.13;

(viii) any Obligations of Buyer with respect to Earnout Payments as provided in Section 2.8;

(ix) any Obligations of Buyer with respect to Undelivered Refinery Inventory (including Feedstock Inventory) and Committed Refinery Inventory as provided in Section 2.11 and Section 2.12.

(x) any Obligations of Buyer with respect to Refinery Turnaround and Startup Activities as provided in Section 6.1.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all Claims and Losses of the Seller Indemnitees arising under or related to Environmental Laws (including Third-Party Claims arising under or related to Environmental Laws) shall be governed by the Environmental Agreement and not this Agreement.

(b) No Claim may be asserted nor may any Proceeding be commenced against Buyer pursuant to this Section 11.3 unless written notice of such Claim or Proceeding is received by Buyer describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such Claim or Proceeding, and with respect to Claims or Proceedings based on the breach of representation or warranty, on or prior to the date such representation or warranty ceases to survive as set forth in Section 11.1. If a Seller Indemnitee has recovered any Losses pursuant to one subsection of Section 11.3(a), such Seller Indemnitee shall not be entitled to recover the same Losses under another subsection of Section 11.3(a). Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that, with respect to any failure by Buyer to comply with its Obligations with respect to Post-Closing Employees as set forth in Section 7.1 through Section 7.7, Seller shall be entitled to specific performance of such Obligations by Buyer and immediate injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy.

(c) No Claim may be made against Buyer for indemnification pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 11.3(a): (i) with respect to any individual action, occurrence or event subject to the indemnifications thereunder (or group of related actions, occurrences or events), except for Claims relating to the breach of a Fundamental Representation, unless the aggregate Claims and Losses of Seller Indemnitees with respect thereto exceeds $10,000 (nor shall any Claim or Loss below such threshold be applied to or considered for purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of Seller Indemnitees’ Losses) and (ii) unless the aggregate amount of all Claims and Losses of Seller Indemnitees with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 11.3(a) shall exceed the Indemnification Deductible (after which Buyer shall be obligated only to indemnify Seller Indemnitees from and against aggregate Losses in excess of the Indemnification Deductible), provided, that the Indemnification Deductible shall not apply with respect to Losses arising under Section 11.3(a)(i) with respect to a breach of a Fundamental Representation by Buyer. The maximum amount that Buyer shall be required to pay pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 11.3(a) in respect of all Claims and Losses by all Seller Indemnitees shall equal the Indemnification Cap, after which point Buyer will have no Obligation to indemnify Seller Indemnitees from and against further such Claims or Losses; provided, however, that with respect to a breach of a Fundamental Representation made by Buyer, the maximum amount of Losses that Seller will be able to recover from Buyer pursuant to Section 11.3(a)(i) shall not be limited by the Indemnification Cap but shall be limited to an amount not to exceed the Base Amount. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 11.3(c) shall not apply to the indemnification Obligations of Buyer set forth in Section 2.12, Section 6.6, Section 6.8, Section 7.7, Section 7.9, Section 7.13, and Section 7.18. Additionally, for the avoidance of doubt, any Claims or Losses to be paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 11.3(a)(iii) through Section 11.3(a)(vii) are not subject to the limitations of this Section 11.3(c).

Section 11.4 Indemnification Procedures; Matters Involving Third Parties.

(a) A Seller Indemnitee or Buyer Indemnitee, as the case may be (for purposes of this Section 11.4, an “Indemnified Party”), shall give the indemnifying party under Section 11.2 and Section 11.3, as applicable (for purposes of this Section 11.4, an “Indemnifying Party”), prompt written notice of any matter which it has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement stating the nature of the Claim and an estimated or actual amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from its Obligations under this Article XI except to the extent, and only to the extent, the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure or to the extent the survival period, if applicable, expires pursuant to Section 11.1 prior to the giving of such notice.

(b) If any third party shall notify an Indemnified Party with respect to any matter (a “Third-Party Claim”) that may give rise to a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party under this Article XI, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event within twenty (20) days after receiving notice of the Third-Party Claim) notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from its Obligations under this Article XI except to the extent, and only to the extent, the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure.

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume and thereafter conduct the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 11.4(d), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party. The Parties shall cooperate in a manner to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the attorney-client and work-product privileges.

(d) The Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party unless the judgment or proposed settlement (i) involves only the payment of money damages and does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party or would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Indemnified Party and (ii) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party a complete release from all liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim and does not involve any admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates.

(e) Unless and until the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim as provided in Section 11.4(c), the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third- Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate.

(f) In no event will the Indemnified Party consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld).

(g) If a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party under this Article XI does not relate to a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the Losses specified in such notice.

(h) The provisions of Section 11.4(b) through (g) shall not apply to Third Party Claims pertaining to Taxes.

Section 11.5 Determination of Losses.

(a) The Losses giving rise to any indemnification Obligation hereunder shall be reduced by any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party as a result of the events giving rise to the claim for indemnification, net of any expenses related to the receipt of such proceeds, including retrospective premium adjustments, if any. The amount of the indemnity payment shall be computed by taking into account the timing of the loss or payment, as applicable, at the Applicable Rate from the date the Indemnified Party provides notice of the Loss to the Indemnifying Party until the date paid. Upon the request of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with information sufficient to allow the Indemnifying Party to calculate the amount of the indemnity payment in accordance with this Section 11.5.

(b) An Indemnified Party shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate damages in respect of any claim for which it is seeking indemnification and shall use reasonable efforts to avoid any costs or expenses associated with such claim and, if such costs and expenses cannot be avoided, to minimize the amount thereof; provided, that an Indemnified Party shall have no Obligation to make a claim for recovery against any insurer of such Indemnified Party with respect to any such Losses.

(c) For purposes of determining whether a breach has occurred and calculating a Loss in connection with a claim for indemnification under this Article XI, each of the representations and warranties that contains any qualifications as to materiality or “Material Adverse Effect” will be determined with regard to such materiality or “Material Adverse Effect” qualifier contained in the terms of such representation and warranty; provided, however, that if the representation or warranty is breached (after taking into consideration such materiality or “Material Adverse Effect” qualifier) then the amount of Losses arising out of such breach will be determined without regards to such materiality or “Material Adverse Effect” qualifier.

Section 11.6 No Multiple Recoveries. Any liability for indemnification hereunder shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty or covenant.

Section 11.7 Limitations on Liability/Exclusive Remedies.

Section 12.7 Severability.

Section 12.11 Disclosure Schedules. Any matter disclosed by Seller in the Disclosure Schedules pursuant to any Section of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed by Seller for purposes of each other Section of this Agreement to which such disclosure is relevant as and to the extent that the relevance of such matter to such other Section is readily apparent on the face of such disclosure.

Section 12.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Related Agreements (together with the Exhibits, the Disclosure Schedules and the other Schedules hereto and thereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto, and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both

written and oral, among the Parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof (other than the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect).

Section 12.14 Confidentiality. For a period of three (3) years following the Closing Date, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, hold, and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause its or their respective representatives to hold, in confidence any and all information, whether written or oral, that primarily relates to the Companies or the Business, except to the extent that Seller can show that such information (a) is generally available to or known by the public through no fault of Seller, any of its Affiliates or their respective representatives; or (b) is lawfully acquired by Seller, any of its Affiliates or their respective representatives from and after the Closing from sources which are not prohibited, to Seller’s Knowledge, from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective representatives are compelled to disclose any such information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which Seller is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed.

Section 12.15 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that the breach of this Agreement by the other Parties would cause irreparable damage to such Party and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. Therefore, the Obligations of each Party under this Agreement, including Seller’s obligation to sell the TH Interest to Buyer and Buyer’s obligation to purchase the TH Interest from Seller, shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith, without the requirement to post any bond or security in connection therewith. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any Party may have under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 12.16 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts and by the different Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signed counterparts of this Agreement may be delivered by facsimile and by scanned pdf image; provided that each Party uses Commercially Reasonable Efforts to deliver to each other Party original signed counterparts as soon as possible thereafter.

commissioning of capital projects at the Refinery as and when and to the extent required pursuant to the Hawaii Consent Decree (collectively, the “Capital Projects”). Seller and Buyer agree to communicate, consult and reasonably cooperate with one another in the design, engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning of the Capital Projects, provided such consultation and cooperation are consistent with the terms of this section. Seller and Buyer (and their Affiliates) shall minimize the capital expenditures for the Capital Projects to the extent necessary to satisfy the obligations of the Hawaii Consent Decree. Seller and the Company agree to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to work together during the design, engineering, procurement and construction of the Capital Projects to minimize the potential for disruption of Refinery operations during implementation of the Capital Projects. Between Seller and the Company, Seller shall have the primary responsibility, at Seller’s expense, for the design and engineering of the Capital Projects. Buyer shall cause the Company to permit Seller and its Affiliates and their respective representatives (including Seller’s engineering contractors) to have reasonable access to the Refinery (subject to appropriate safety and security standards of the Company) and applicable books and records and reasonable access to and inquiry of employees and other personnel who are employed, retained or controlled by the Company who have relevant information necessary for the designing and engineering of the Capital Projects.

3.05 Company Environmental Liabilities. Except as otherwise provided herein, Buyer and the Company acknowledge and agree that after the Closing, the Company will continue to retain all Company Environmental Liabilities.

ARTICLE IV

CORRECTIVE ACTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING

4.01 Conduct of Corrective Action.

(a) In the event Corrective Action is necessary after the Closing to Remediate a Pre-Existing Environmental Condition (whether known or unknown as of the Closing Date) and for which Seller has agreed to indemnify, defend and hold Buyer harmless pursuant to Section 5.02, then Seller (or its Affiliates) shall control such Corrective Action (the “Seller Remediation Activities”) until (i) Seller’s indemnification obligation terminates pursuant to Section 5.02 or (ii) a Claim is made against Buyer or the Company by a Governmental Authority after the Closing with respect to such Pre-Existing Environmental Condition and Buyer or the Company elects, by providing written notice to Seller, to assume control of such Corrective Action (a “Company Assumption”); provided, however, that if Buyer or the Company elects to assume control of any Corrective Action, Seller shall have no further obligation to indemnify, defend or hold Buyer harmless for such Corrective Action pursuant to Section 5.02. Seller (and its Affiliates) shall take (and shall only be required to take) all actions and make all expenditures reasonably required by applicable Environmental Laws in effect and as interpreted as of the Closing Date in order to Remediate such Pre-Existing Environmental Condition consistent with the Acceptable Corrective Action Method. In determining the Acceptable Corrective Action Method, Seller shall consult with Buyer, consider in good faith any reasonable recommendations or proposals made by Buyer, and take into account the intended usage of the relevant property.

(b) In connection with any Seller Remediation Activities:

(i) The Company shall provide reasonable assistance and cooperation in order for Seller to complete the Seller Remediation Activities in an efficient and timely manner; provided, that any third party costs or expenses incurred by or on behalf of Buyer or the Company in connection with such assistance and cooperation shall be borne by Seller to the extent approved by Seller in writing in advance and subject to the limitations of Section 5.02;

(ii) Seller shall provide the Company the opportunity, with reasonable advance notice, to attend meetings with, or hearings before, any Governmental Authority regarding such Seller Remediation Activities. Seller shall, following any such meeting or hearing with such Governmental Authority, advise the Company of the substance of any action or position taken by such Governmental Authority during any such meeting or hearing. Notwithstanding the preceding, the Company’s decision to attend or not any such meeting or hearing shall not delay or postpone such meetings or hearings with a Governmental Authority;

(iii) Seller will coordinate the schedule of on-site Seller Remediation Activities with the Company so that disruptions of the Company’s operations of the Assets will be minimized;

(iv) The Company shall permit Seller and its Affiliates and their respective representatives (including Seller’s environmental contractors) to have reasonable access to the Assets (subject to appropriate safety and security standards of the Company) and applicable books and records and reasonable access to and inquiry of employees and other personnel who are employed, retained or controlled by the Company who have relevant information regarding the Assets related to the obligations of Seller for Corrective Action. The Company shall provide Seller, without additional charge, reasonable access to utilities

and available equipment and operations (including wastewater treatment units) used in connection with Seller Remediation Activities;

(v) Seller shall provide the Company with copies of third party reports and studies, notices and filings received or prepared on behalf of Seller prior to the delivery of such submissions to any Governmental Authority and shall allow the Company a reasonable opportunity (which shall not be fewer than ten (10) days to review such filings in advance of any such submission and, if requested, shall consider in good faith all reasonable comments to such submissions made by the Company prior to submitting such materials to such Governmental Authority. The Company shall respond promptly to requests for information by a Governmental Authority with respect to Seller Remediation Activities. The Company shall respond promptly and without unreasonable conditions to reasonable requests by Seller for execution and delivery of any submissions or applications reasonably requested by Seller that are required to be filed by or on behalf of the Company with respect to the Seller Remediation Activities;

(vi) Seller shall promptly provide the Company with copies of significant reports, plans, correspondence and other substantive communications received by or on behalf of Seller from or submitted by or on behalf of Seller to a Governmental Authority with respect to the Seller Remediation Activities;

(vii) The Company shall promptly provide Seller with copies of all reports, plans, correspondence and other substantive communications received by or on behalf of the Company from or submitted by or on behalf of the Company to a Governmental Authority with respect to the Seller Remediation Activities;

(viii) Seller shall be responsible for transportation and offsite disposition of solid wastes generated in connection with Seller Remediation Activities and required to be managed offsite; and

(ix) To the extent that Seller Remediation Activities include land use or institutional use restrictions or engineering controls consistent with an Acceptable Corrective Action Method, the Company shall (at Seller’s cost and expense) execute such commercially reasonable agreements embodying such restrictions as may be required by a Governmental Authority in order to bind the Company and any subsequent owners of any of the Assets to such land use or institutional use restrictions or engineering controls.

(c) In the event of a Company Assumption, Seller shall coordinate with the Company to transition responsibility for such Corrective Action to the Company. Seller shall promptly provide the Company with copies of all reports, studies, plans, data, correspondence and notices relating to the assumed Corrective Action. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller’s indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 5.02 shall terminate with respect to any Corrective Action that is the subject of a Company Assumption, and Seller shall have no further obligation to indemnify, defend or hold Buyer harmless for such Corrective Action pursuant to Section 5.02.

(d) In the event the Company plans after the Closing to conduct construction activity which will or may cause disturbance of soils, sediment or other media containing Hazardous Materials (“Construction Activity”) for which Seller may be obligated to conduct Seller Remediation Activities, the Company shall consult with Seller prior to such construction activity and to consider in good faith Seller’s requests and comments with respect to Remediation methods and location of construction, all to the extent reasonably practicable and consistent with an Acceptable Corrective Action

Method and that do not unreasonably interfere with the Company's proposed construction activity. Notwithstanding anything in this Environmental Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall not have any liability to indemnify, defend or hold Buyer Indemnified Parties harmless pursuant to Section 5.02 for Corrective Action (or other Losses related thereto) required or incurred as a result of Construction Activity to the extent such Corrective Action would not be required (or related Losses incurred) in the event the Construction Activity did not occur.

(e) If a Release shall occur or is continuing after the Closing at a location or in an amount not readily distinguishable from an Environmental Condition existing prior to the Closing for which Seller is required to indemnify, defend and hold harmless a Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 5.02, then the Company shall be responsible for the incremental costs incurred for the Remediation of the post-Closing Release as compared to the costs that would otherwise have been incurred to Remediate such pre-Closing Environmental Condition. The Company and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to allocate all respective obligations arising out of such pre-Closing Environmental Condition and post-Closing Release in question in an equitable manner, which allocation shall take into consideration and reflect all pertinent facts, which pertinent facts may include: (i) the quantity or volume of Hazardous Materials present immediately prior to such post-Closing Release, and present as a result of the post-Closing Release; (ii) differences, if any, in the composition of the Hazardous Materials present immediately prior to such post-Closing Release, and present as a result of the post-Closing Release; and (iii) if and to what extent the post-Closing Release has impacted geographical areas not impacted by the pre-Closing Environmental Condition prior to the post-Closing Release. Seller shall control the Remediation of such commingled Environmental Conditions until Seller’s obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless for the pre-Closing Environmental Condition terminates.

(f) The Company shall not cause, suffer or permit the waiver, modification, suspension or termination of any obligation of BHP Hawaii or BHP Pacific to conduct and pay for Remediation Activities at, on, under or within the Real Property Interests or the Pipeline ROW Interests pursuant to the BHP Environmental Agreement and the Company shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assist Seller to enforce BHP Hawaii’s and BHP Pacific’s obligations to conduct and pay for such Remediation Activities under the BHP Environmental Agreement to the extent that such obligations exist as of the date of this Environmental Agreement.

(g) Simultaneously with the execution hereof, Seller will provide Buyer with a list of all third parties currently conducting any Corrective Action at any Asset.

(h) In the event the Company is required pursuant to Environmental Laws to continue Remediation Activities beyond or subsequent to the conclusion of any Seller Remediation Activities, then Seller shall coordinate with the Company to transition responsibility for such Remediation Activities to the Company. Seller shall promptly provide the Company with copies of all reports, studies, plans, data, correspondence and notices relating to the assumed Remediation Activities.

4.02 Closure and Anticipated Use.

(a) With respect to any Corrective Action that Seller is responsible for under this Environmental Agreement, Seller (and its Affiliates) shall only be obligated to implement and complete such Corrective Action as is necessary to obtain Closure, subject to the limitations of Section 5.02. Unless terminated earlier, Seller’s obligations to perform such Corrective Action shall be deemed satisfied and shall terminate once Closure is obtained, and Seller shall have no obligation to perform further Corrective Action with respect to the Environmental Condition or Release to which the Corrective Action relates, provided that receipt of Closure shall not impact any other Obligations as between Buyer and Seller, even if such Obligations arise out of such Environmental Condition or Release.

(b) Seller shall not be required to address contamination beyond the Acceptable Corrective Action Method. The Company shall be responsible for any incremental cost associated with changes in Environmental Laws or a more restrictive ongoing use of the Refinery or the other Assets (i.e. commercial or residential use).

4.03 Environmental Testing.

(a) Until the expiration of Seller’s obligation to conduct Seller Remediation Activities, or until the Company provides notice of a Company Assumption pursuant to Section 4.01(a) (but only to the extent necessary to conduct the Corrective Action that is subject to the Company Assumption), the Company shall not directly or indirectly, initiate or conduct Environmental Testing of the Assets. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Company may conduct Environmental Testing of the Assets in the event (i) such Environmental Testing is performed in the ordinary course of business of the Company such as geophysical studies of building foundations or in connection with construction, remodeling or demolition and rebuild work on Assets, (ii) the Company or its Affiliates are ordered or directed to conduct such Environmental Testing by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction thereof, (iii) such Environmental Testing is conducted as a result of and reasonably necessary to respond to a Release that occurs after the Closing, (iv) there is reasonable evidence that such Environmental Testing is required by applicable Environmental Laws then in effect and interpreted, or (v) such Environmental Testing is conducted as a result of any written Claim by a Person other than a Buyer Indemnified Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may at any time(s) conduct non-intrusive investigations of Environmental Conditions of the Assets, including Phase I environmental site assessments.

(b) Prior to engaging in any Environmental Testing, the Company shall provide Seller with reasonable advance written notice so that Seller may, at its own expense, observe such activities and obtain any split samples it may desire. The Company shall provide Seller with copies of all written, non-privileged reports prepared by third parties related to Environmental Testing. In the event that exigent circumstances (such as responding to a Release) do not allow for reasonable advance written notice of Environmental Testing, the Company will make a good faith attempt to orally advise Seller of such Environmental Testing and shall, within a reasonable time thereafter, provide written notice to Seller describing the Environmental Testing that was conducted.

For the avoidance of doubt, any Claims or Losses to be paid by Buyer or the Company pursuant to Section 5.03(a)(ii) is not subject to the limitations of this Section 5.03(c).

5.04 Indemnification Procedures; Matters Involving Third Parties.

(a) A Seller Indemnitee or Buyer Indemnitee, as the case may be (for purposes of this Section 5.04, an “Indemnified Party”), shall give the indemnifying party under Section 5.02 and Section 5.03, as applicable (for purposes of this Section 5.04, an “Indemnifying Party”), prompt written notice of any matter which it has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Environmental Agreement stating the nature of the Claim and an estimated or actual amount of

the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, containing a reference to the provisions of this Environmental Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from its Obligations under this Article V except to the extent, and only to the extent, the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure or to the extent the survival period, if applicable, expires pursuant to Section 5.01 prior to the giving of such notice.

(b) If any third party shall notify an Indemnified Party with respect to any matter (a “Third-Party Claim”) that may give rise to a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party under this Article V, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days after receiving notice of the Third-Party Claim) notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from its Obligations under this Article V except to the extent, and only to the extent, the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure.

(c) The Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume and thereafter conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld) unless the judgment or proposed settlement involves only the payment of money damages and does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Indemnified Party.

(d) Unless and until the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim as provided in Section 5.04(c), the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third- Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate.

(e) In no event will the Indemnified Party consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld).

(f) If the Parties are unable to agree as to issues related to Seller’s environmental indemnification, then an independent and experienced third party environmental consulting firm that is mutually agreeable to Seller and Buyer shall evaluate and determine the non-legal issues that are in dispute.

5.05 Determination of Losses.

(b) An Indemnified Party shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate damages in respect of any claim for which it is seeking indemnification and shall use reasonable efforts to avoid any

costs or expenses associated with such claim and, if such costs and expenses cannot be avoided, to minimize the amount thereof; provided, that an Indemnified Party shall have no Obligation to make a claim for recovery against any insurer of such Indemnified Party with respect to any such Losses.

(c) For purposes of determining whether a breach has occurred and calculating a Loss in connection with a claim for indemnification under this Article V, each of the representations and warranties that contains any qualifications as to materiality or “Material Adverse Effect” will be determined with regard to such materiality or “Material Adverse Effect” qualifier contained in the terms of such representation and warranty; provided, however, that if the representation or warranty is breached (after taking into consideration such materiality or “Material Adverse Effect” qualifier) then the amount of Losses arising out of such breach will be determined without regards to such materiality or “Material Adverse Effect” qualifier.

5.06 No Multiple Recoveries. Any liability for indemnification hereunder shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty or covenant.

5.07 Limitations on Liability/Exclusive Remedies.

(a) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS ENVIRONMENTAL AGREEMENT, NO PARTY HERETO SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER FROM ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR ANY OF SUCH PARTY’S AFFILIATES ANY AMOUNT IN RESPECT OF EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS; EXCEPT, HOWEVER, WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING PAID OR OWING TO A THIRD PARTY WITH RESPECT TO A THIRD PARTY CLAIM, WHICH DAMAGES SHALL BE CONSIDERED PART OF LOSSES AND SHALL BE COVERED BY THE INDEMNIFICATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE V.
