Any sums so paid or expended by Lessor, with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date of such payment or expenditure, shall be additional rent and shall be payable by Lessee on demand.

Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that any Corrective Action may be conducted pursuant to governmental order or action, agreement with the governmental agencies or on a voluntary basis. Lessee acknowledges that any such activity may result in a restriction on the future use of the land beneath the Refinery Lands, including the Premises, to non-residential, industrial or particular commercial uses, restriction on the use of groundwater, imposition of institutional controls, or imposition of engineering controls.

(b) Except for services provided by Lessee to Lessor under the Services Agreement, if any lien shall at any time be filed against the Premises, either individually against the Premises or as part of a lien filed that encompasses both the Premises and the Refinery Lands, by reason of any work, labor, services or materials done for, or supplied to, or claimed to have been done for, or supplied to, Lessor or anyone holding the Refinery Lands through or under Lessor, Lessor shall cause the same (at least as it pertains to the Premises) to be discharged of record or adequately bonded (unless otherwise secured to the reasonable satisfaction of Lessee) within forty-five (45) days after receipt of notice of the lien filing.

STATUTE OR CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION BETWEEN THE INDEMNITEE AND A THIRD PARTY
(b) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, THE RELEASES OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITIES CONTAINED IN SECTIONS 8.1 AND 8.2 SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY CLAIM OR LIABILITY CAUSED BY GROSS NEGLIGENCE, MALICE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AND FURTHER SHALL NOT IN ANY EVENT APPLY TO AWARDS OR ASSESSMENTS OF PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

ARTICLE IX
PROPERTY TAXES
9.1 Payment of Property Taxes.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.1(b), so long as the Premises, Assets and Improvements are taxed as a separate parcel from the Refinery Lands, Lessee will pay and discharge, as and when the same shall become due and payable without penalty, the Property Taxes with respect to any period during the Term in which they shall be or become due and payable and which:
15
(i) shall be levied, assessed or imposed on or against the Premises, Assets or Improvements or any interest of Lessor or Lessee in the Premises, Assets or Improvements; or
(ii) shall be or become liens on or against the Premises, Assets or Improvements or any interest of Lessor or Lessee in the Premises, Assets or Improvements;
(b) Nothing in this Lease shall require Lessee to pay any estate, inheritance, succession or transfer tax of Lessor or any income, excess profits or revenue tax on the rent payable by Lessee under this Lease; provided, however, that if at any time during the term the methods of taxation prevailing at the Effective Date shall be altered so that in lieu of, as a supplement to, or a substitute for the whole or part of any Property Tax which Lessee has agreed to pay pursuant to this Section 9.1, there shall be levied, assessed or imposed (i) a tax, assessment, levy imposition or charge, wholly or partially as a capital levy or otherwise, on the rents received under this Lease or (ii) a license fee measured by the rent payable by Lessee under this Lease, then Lessee shall pay the same.
(c)Upon written request from Lessor, Lessee shall promptly furnish Lessor with satisfactory evidence that such Property Taxes have been paid. If any Property Taxes paid by Lessee shall cover any period of time prior to or after the expiration of the Term hereof, Lessee’s share of such Property Taxes shall be equitably pro-rated to cover only the period of time within the tax fiscal year during which this Lease shall be in effect, and Lessor shall reimburse Lessee to the extent required. If Lessee shall fail to pay any such Property Taxes by their due date, Lessor shall have the right to pay the same, in which case Lessee shall repay such amount to Lessor on demand, together with any interest charge actually incurred by Lessor as to such Property Taxes.
9.2 Joint Assessment. If the Premises, Assets and Improvements are not separately assessed, Lessor shall pay the Property Taxes, but Lessor shall forward a copy of the property tax bills to Lessee within five (5) business days of Lessor’s receipt of the tax bills and, subject to Section 9.3 below, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor within thirty (30) days of receipt of Lessor’s invoice, together with proof of payment thereof, an amount equal to Ninety-Five percent (95%) of the Property Taxes for the Refinery Lands, on which the Premises are situated and as more particularly described in Attachment A-2, for that tax year and, with the express understanding and agreement between Lessor and Lessee that there will be a subsequent true-up of Lessee’s ultimate liability for Lessee’s proportion of the Property Taxes in accordance with the subsequent terms of this paragraph and that the percentages above set no precedent in the subsequent determination of the allocation. In the event the Premises, Assets and Improvements are subsequently separately assessed, the aforementioned true-up shall occur within thirty (30) days of receipt by either Party of such separate assessment. Lessee’s liability shall be an equitable proportion of the Property Taxes for the Premises, Assets and Improvements. Lessor and Lessee hereby agree that such proportion will be mutually agreed to by Lessor and Lessee, acting in good faith. In the event that Lessor and Lessee are unable to mutually agree upon such proportion, the Parties shall mutually engage a competent, independent appraiser, whose opinion of proportion shall be binding upon both Parties. The apportionment percentages set forth in this Section 9.2 are solely for the Parties’ benefit in estimating the liability for Property Taxes between them, and each Party hereby covenants and agrees to keep such allocation percentages confidential and to not disclose, communicate or otherwise provide such apportionment percentages at any time to any independent appraiser engaged under this Section 9.2 or in any court proceeding related thereto. The cost of engaging such appraiser shall be borne equally by Lessor and Lessee. These agreed upon allocated assessed values shall remain in effect until changed by the Parties, with either Party having the right to request a review of the allocation on an annual basis. Additionally, if the Premises, Assets or Improvements are not separately assessed, Lessor and Lessee also shall jointly attempt to have the Assessor separately assess the
16
Premises, Assets and Improvements in such a way as to clearly and separately identify the value of the Premises, Assets and Improvements.
9.3 Contesting Real Property Tax. Lessor and Lessee shall each have the right to contest or review, with due diligence and in good faith, the amount or validity of any Property Taxes associated with the Premises, Assets and Improvements, but only with the knowledge and consent of the other Party, it being the express intent of the Parties that they shall work together in cooperation with each other with any such contest or review. For Property Taxes that pertain to the years 2014 and beyond, Lessee shall have the right to contest or review, with due diligence and in good faith, the amount or validity of any Property Taxes associated with the Premises, Assets or Improvements by appropriate legal proceedings provided that if the contested Property Tax is not paid before the start of legal proceedings, then before instituting any proceedings Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a surety company bond, cash deposit or other security mutually agreed upon by Lessor and Lessee as reasonably satisfactory, as security for the payment of the Property Tax, in an amount sufficient to pay the Property Tax, that may be assessed against the Premises, Assets or Improvements in the legal proceedings. If the property valuation contested is jointly assessed, Lessee shall have a responsibility for surety bond only for that portion of valuation that constitutes the Premises, Assets or Improvements and in an amount determined by mutual consent of Lessor and Lessee. On termination of the legal proceedings or at any time when Lessor and Lessee shall reasonably deem the security to be insufficient for the purpose, Lessee shall, upon demand, deliver to Lessor additional security as is reasonably sufficient for the purpose, and upon failure of the Lessee to do so, the security originally deposited shall be applied to the payment, removal and discharge of the Property Tax and any interest, penalties, charges, and costs accruing in the legal proceedings and the balance, if any, shall be paid to Lessee. If the security shall be insufficient for this purpose, Lessee shall promptly pay over to Lessor an amount sufficient, together with the security originally deposited hereunder, to pay the same. In the event of any default by Lessee, as defined in Article XI of this Lease, for failure to pay the Property Taxes, Lessor is authorized to use the security deposited under this Section 9.3 to apply on account of such default or to pay the Property Tax. The balance, if any, shall be paid to Lessee. Lessor agrees that it will, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, cooperate with Lessee in connection with Lessee’s contesting or reviewing any Property Taxes pursuant to this Paragraph 9.3, provided that Lessor shall not be subject to any liability arising out of any such cooperation, including any liability for the payment of any Property Taxes, costs or expenses.
9.4 Other Taxes. Lessee shall pay, prior to delinquency, any franchise taxes, excise taxes, business and occupation taxes, gross sales taxes, gross receipt taxes, occupational license taxes and similar taxes that are assessed or levied on Lessee’s use or operation of the Premises.
ARTICLE X
ASSIGNMENT
10.1 Assignment or Subletting.

(c) Lessee may assign or transfer its rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate without Lessor’s consent provided (i) such Affiliate is bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Lease, including Lessor’s rights under Article XIII, (ii) any such assignment shall not relieve the Lessee from any of its obligations under this Lease incurred prior to the date of such assignment, and (iii) Lessee is still liable to Lessor in the event of a default by such Affiliate, its successors or permitted assigns, of any of the obligations to be performed by Lessee under this Lease.
10.3 Covenants Running With The Land. Subject to Section 10.1 above, all of the limitations, covenants, conditions, restrictions, rights, duties, powers and obligations created or which arise by reason of this Lease shall constitute covenants which shall run with the property burdened and benefited, and shall be binding on all Persons having any right, title or interest in the property burdened or any part thereof, their heirs, successors and assigns. By acceptance of a deed of conveyance or any other instrument granting an interest in property benefited or burdened by the interests or estates granted herein, each grantee or transferee, including mortgagees taking title by foreclosure, consents to and agrees to be so bound.

11.1 Defaults. A Party shall be in default under this Lease upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events:
(a) The failure by such Party to make any payment of any amount required to be made by such Party hereunder, as and when due, where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by such Party of written notice thereof from the other Party; or
(b) The failure by such Party to observe or perform any other material covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by such Party, where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by such Party of written notice thereof from the other Party; provided, however, that if the nature of the failure is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then such Party shall not be deemed to be in default if such Party commences such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion; or

(d) If a Party shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy under any provision of any federal or state bankruptcy law or shall consent to the filing of any bankruptcy or reorganization petition against it under any similar law; or, without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, if a Party shall file a petition or answer or consent seeking relief or assisting in seeking relief in a proceeding under any of the provisions of the federal bankruptcy laws or pursuant to any other similar state statute applicable to such Party, as now or hereafter in effect, or an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in such a proceeding; or if a Party shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or if a Party shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; or if a Party shall consent to the appointment of a receiver or receivers, or trustee or trustees, or liquidator or liquidators of it or of all or any part of its property; or

11.2 Remedies. In the event of any such default by a Party, the other Party may, upon the occurrence thereof and during the continuation of such default, exercise any right or remedy which the other Party may have under the laws of the State of New Jersey by reason of such default, but excluding any right to terminate or rescind this Lease or evict Lessee.
ARTICLE XII
CONDEMNATION
12.1 Condemnation in Whole. In the event of Condemnation of the entire Premises, this Lease shall terminate upon the final vesting of title in the condemning Person.
12.2 Condemnation in Part. If a portion of the Premises shall be taken in Condemnation, this Lease shall not automatically terminate but shall, at the option of Lessee, continue with respect to the portion of the Premises that was not so condemned or transferred, unless Lessee provides Lessor with written notice of its election to terminate this Lease within thirty (30) days after such Condemnation.
12.3 Application of Condemnation Proceedings. Any awards made in any Condemnation proceeding described herein shall be paid as follows:

ARTICLE XIII
RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER
13.1 Right of First Offer. To the extent Lessor determines to sell all or any portion of the Premises, Lessor will grant Lessee the right of first offer to purchase that same portion of the Premises. Prior to seeking, entertaining or considering any offers for the sale or purchase of such property, Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing that it intends to sell such property, describing in sufficient detail the property to be sold. Lessor shall promptly make available all records pertaining to the property to be sold for Lessee’s review, and Lessee shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice to review these records. Lessee shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of Lessor’s notice to submit a written offer to Lessor for the purchase of the property to be sold. Should Lessee fail to timely submit an offer to purchase such property, then Lessee shall be deemed to have waived its right of first offer for such property (subject to its reinstatement as provided below). Lessor shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of Lessee’s written offer to elect to sell the property to Lessee or to seek offers from other parties. Failure by Lessor to timely respond to Lessee’s written offer shall be deemed to be a rejection of Lessee’s offer. If Lessor accepts Lessee’s offer, the Parties shall promptly commence preparation of the closing documents. If Lessor does not accept Lessee’s offer, then Lessor shall have a period of six (6) months after such rejection in which to enter into a bona fide purchase and sale agreement to sell such property to another party, provided Lessor shall not agree to sell such property to any other party unless their offer is at least ten percent (10%) greater in value than the offer submitted by Lessee. In the event Lessor has not entered into a bona fide purchase and sale agreement with another party within six (6) months from rejecting Lessee’s offer, or the waiver by Lessee’s of its right of first offer as described above, then Lessee shall once again have the right of first offer with respect to such property under the same terms and conditions described above. Any exercise or failure to exercise this right of first offer with respect to some but not all of the Refinery, or Lessor’s sale under this provision of some but not all of the Refinery to another party, shall not be deemed to limit, impair, restrict or inhibit Lessee’s right of first offer with respect to the remainder of the Refinery. Any offer made by Lessee under this Article XIII shall be held confidential by Lessor and will not be disclosed to any prospective purchasers of the Premises.
20
13.2 Exceptions to Right of First Offer. Lessee’s right of first offer set forth in Section 13.1 above shall not apply to:
(a) an assignment or sale of the Premises to a Lessor Affiliate, provided Lessor and the Affiliate are subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in Section 10.2 (a) of this Lease and the Affiliate agrees that it is bound by and subject to this Article XIII for any subsequent sale of the Premises by the Affiliate;
(b) a transaction which involves the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Lessor and/or Lessor’s parent companies to a third party, provided Lessor and such purchaser are subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in Section 10.2 (b) of this Lease and such purchaser agrees that it is bound by and subject to this Article XIII for any subsequent sale of the Premises; or
(c) a transaction in which property rights in the Premises are transferred as part of a financial arrangement including a mortgage of the Premises, provided that such mortgage holder acknowledges that Lessee’s rights under this Article XIII shall apply in the event of any foreclosure of Lessor’s property rights in the Premises.
ARTICLE XIV

To the extent practicable, Lessee will also provide Lessor with drafts of such reports prior to submitting them to such governmental agency or authority. Lessor shall simultaneously provide to Lessee a copy of any information submitted to such governmental agency or authority in connection with a Release on Refinery Lands.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
17.1 Estoppel Certificate. Lessor and Lessee each agree that from time to time, upon not less than fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice from the other Party, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other Party a statement in writing certifying and stating (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or if there have been modifications, that the Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating such modifications, (b) the dates to which the rent and additional rent have been paid and the current amount of the rent and additional rent, (c) whether or not, to the best knowledge of the signer, the other Party is in default in keeping, observing or performing any term, covenant, or condition contained in this Lease and, if in default, specifying each such default, (d) whether the signing party currently has any claim against the other Party under this Lease and, if so, the nature and the dollar amount, if any, of such claim, (e) whether there exist any offsets or defenses against enforcement of any of the terms of this Lease upon the part of the signing party to be performed, and, if so, specifying the same, and (f) such further information with respect
23
to this Lease as the other Party may reasonably request, it being intended that any statement delivered pursuant to this Section 17.1 shall be binding on the signing Party and may be relied upon by the other Party, any prospective purchaser of the Premises or any prospective mortgagee.
17.2 Severability. Every provision of this Lease is severable. If any term or provision hereof is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason by any duly constituted court, agency or tribunal, the legality, validity, or enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
17.3 Captions. The table of contents, section headings and other captions contained in this Lease are for reference purposes only and do not interpret, define or limit the scope, extent or intent of this Lease or any provision hereof.
17.4 Amendments. No change, amendment or modification of this Lease shall be valid or binding upon the Parties unless such change, amendment or modification shall be in writing and duly executed by both Parties.
17.5 Waivers. Any failure of either Party to enforce any of the provisions of this Lease or to require compliance with any of its terms at any time during the Term of this Lease, shall in no way affect the validity of this Lease, or any part hereof, and shall not be deemed a waiver of any of the rights of such Party thereafter to enforce any and each such provision or of any subsequent breach by the other Party of the same or any other provision. Each Party’s consent to or approval of any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of such Party’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act by the other Party. The acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any provision hereof, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Lessor’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. Any consent or approval given pursuant to this Lease shall be limited to its express terms and shall not otherwise increase the obligations of the Party giving such consent or approval or otherwise reduce the obligations of the Party receiving such consent or approval.
17.6 Recording. Lessee shall be permitted to record this Lease or a memorandum thereof without Lessor’s prior written consent, and Lessor shall execute this Lease in recordable form or a memorandum hereof in recordable form. Upon termination of this Lease, Lessee agrees to execute a memorandum acknowledging such termination. All recording costs shall be borne by Lessee.
17.7 Holding Over. This Section 17.7 is made expressly subject to Lessee’s rights set forth in this Lease to remove its Assets and Improvements from the Premises, to restore the surface of the Premises and to perform any required environmental remediation under this Lease upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, and the exercise of such rights shall not be deemed to constitute a holdover under this Section 17.7. If Lessee remains in possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the Term hereof without the express written consent of Lessor, such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month at a rental rate to be determined at the time of said termination based on actual fair market value per month plus additional rent and all other charges payable hereunder, and upon all the terms hereof applicable to the month to month tenancy.
17.8 Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity.
24
17.9 Binding Effect; Choice of Law. This Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, including with respect to matters of construction, validity and performance, without giving effect to any choice of law rules that may direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
17.10 Subordination. This Lease shall be superior in interest to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation for security now or hereafter placed upon the real property of which the Premises are a part and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidation, replacements and extensions thereof.
17.11 Signs and Fences. Lessee shall be permitted to place any sign upon the Premises and/or erect a fence around all or any portion of the Premises without Lessor’s prior written consent, provided that any such sign or fence shall comply with all Legal Requirements. Lessee shall be permitted to place any sign upon the Refinery Lands with the Lessor’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
17.12 No Broker. Lessor and Lessee each warrant and represent to the other that no broker was involved in the negotiation and/or consummation of this Lease. Lessor and Lessee each agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or connected with a breach of the foregoing warranty and representation.
17.13 Records and Audit. Lessor shall maintain a true and correct set of records pertaining to any bills, statements or invoices sent to Lessee under this Lease and all transactions related thereto. Lessor further agrees to retain all such records for a period of not less than five (5) years after the date of such ▇▇▇▇, statement or invoice. Any representative or representatives authorized by Lessee may audit, during reasonable business hours, any and all such records at any time or times during the Term of this Lease and during the five (5) year period following its termination or expiration. The foregoing obligations in this Section 17.13 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.
17.14 Counterparts. This Lease may be signed in any number of counterparts and each counterpart shall represent a fully executed original as if signed by both Parties.
17.15 Confidentiality. During the Term of this Lease, it may become necessary or desirable, from time to time, for either Party to provide or disclose to the other Party non-public information that is either confidential or proprietary. The disclosing Party may orally request such information to be kept confidential if such information is not in a written format, and in such case shall identify and confirm such confidential information in writing to the other Party no later than fifteen (15) days after such disclosure. If the confidential or proprietary information is in a written format, the disclosing Party shall label such information as either confidential or proprietary. The other Party shall not reproduce, copy, use or disclose (except when required by Legal Requirements) any such information in whole or in part to a third party for any purpose without the consent of the disclosing Party. The other Party shall restrict the internal disclosure of any such confidential or proprietary information to only those employees, officers and directors who have a "need to know" such information, and shall restrict those individuals from disclosing, using or permitting the disclosure of such information. In the event the other Party is required by Legal Requirements to disclose any such confidential or proprietary information, the other Party shall cooperate with the disclosing Party to minimize the amount of such information furnished. At the specific request of the disclosing Party, the other Party shall endeavor to secure the agreement of the receiving Person to maintain specified portions of such information in
25
confidence. In the case of any disclosure of any such confidential or proprietary information, whether or not such disclosure is permitted by this Section 17.15, the other Party shall promptly give written notice thereof to the disclosing Party.
17.16 Further Assurances. Each Party agrees to take or cause to be taken such further actions to execute, deliver and file all further documents and instruments, and to take any further action that may be reasonably necessary or requested in order to fully effectuate the purposes, terms, conditions and intent of this Lease.
17.17 Survival. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, the expiration or other termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of obligations that by their nature should survive such expiration or termination, whether or not specifically stated herein, including any indemnities, payment obligations, confidentiality, audit rights, and dispute resolution provisions.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Lease has been signed on behalf of each of the Parties hereto on the date or dates shown below.
