(ii)The ROFO Notice shall constitute Holder’s offer to sell the Offered Shares to Buyer, which offer shall be irrevocable for a period of two (2) Trading Days (the “ROFO Notice Period”).

(iii)By delivering the ROFO Notice, Holder represents and warrants to Buyer that: (x) Holder has full right, title and interest in and to the Offered Shares; (y) Holder has all of the necessary power and authority and has taken all necessary action to sell such Offered Shares as contemplated by this Section 6.4; and (z) the Offered Shares would be sold to Buyer free and clear of any and all Encumbrances other than those arising as a result of or under the terms of this Agreement and applicable securities Laws.

(f)Small Block Sales. During any consecutive ten (10) Trading Day period, Holder may Dispose of up to two hundred thousand (200,000) shares of Delek Shares or Contingent Delek Shares (the “Small Block Sale Limit”) in sales on the exchange without complying with the other provisions of this Section 6.4 (a “Small Block Sale”) provided that all sales of Delek Common Stock by Holder (including Offered Shares) shall count towards and be credited against the Small Block Sale Limit.

(g)Additional Terms. If Holder does not complete such sale of the Offered Shares within the applicable period set forth in Section 6.4(e), then the rights provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such Offered Shares shall not be sold on any stock exchange unless Holder provides a new ROFO Notice to Buyer in accordance with, and otherwise complies with, this Section 6.4. Any shares sold during the applicable period set forth in Section 6.4(e) shall be deemed to be Offered Shares and shall not be considered part of a Small Block Sale.

indemnification Liability shall not apply to Adverse Consequences resulting from (i) any Breach of the Buyer Fundamental Representations, or (ii) fraud or intentional misconduct by Buyer in the negotiation or execution of this Agreement.

(c)The Parties will have no Liability to indemnify pursuant to Sections 8.2(i) and 8.3(i) as the case may be unless and until the aggregate Adverse Consequences for which the Seller Indemnitees or the Buyer Indemnitees, as applicable, are entitled to recover under this Agreement exceeds an amount equal to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the “Threshold Amount”); provided, however, once the aggregate for such Adverse Consequences exceeds the Threshold Amount then the Indemnifying Party shall only be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Parties from and against such Adverse Consequences in excess of the Threshold Amount; provided, further, that the Threshold Amount limitation shall not apply to Adverse Consequences resulting from (i) any Breach by Seller of the Seller Fundamental Representations, (ii) any Breach by Buyer of the Buyer Fundamental Representations, or (iii) fraud or intentional misconduct by Seller or Buyer, as applicable, in the negotiation or execution of this Agreement.

(f)No Claim may be asserted or commenced against Buyer pursuant to Section 8.3(i) with regard to Breaches of representations and warranties of Buyer unless written notice of such Claim is received by Buyer describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such Claim on or prior to the date on which the representation or warranty on which such Claim is based ceases to survive as set forth in Section 8.1(c).

(a)If any third party shall notify either Party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) that may give rise to a right to claim for indemnification against (i) Seller under Section 8.2 or (ii) Buyer under Section 8.3 (each of (i) and (ii), the “Indemnifying Party”), then the Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receiving notice of the Third Party Claim) notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing.

(b)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, however, 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, conditioned or delayed) unless the judgment or proposed settlement involves only the payment of money damages and does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief

Stock Purchase AgreementPage 24 of 32

upon the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall provide reasonable assistance to and cooperation with the Indemnifying Party in connection with any Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the interests of the Indemnified Party, whether or not the Indemnified Party is a named party in such Third Party Claim, and the interests of the Indemnifying Party are or could reasonably be expected by the Indemnified Party to be adverse, the Indemnified Party may assume and thereafter conduct its own defense and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party on a current basis for its Adverse Consequences incurred in the defense thereof.

(c)Unless and until the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim as provided in Section 8.5(b) or in the case of any Third Party Claim pertaining to Taxes, the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate.

8.6Subrogation. If an Indemnified Party has a right against a third party with respect to any claim, demand, Proceeding, or proceeding for which indemnification is sought under this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall, to the extent of any payment made by the Indemnifying Party, be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with and assist the Indemnifying Party in pursuing the claim against the third party. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall assign, or partially assign, the Claim or Proceeding against the third party to the Indemnifying Party, to the extent of any payment made by the Indemnifying Party.

8.7Limitation of Damages. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED TO THE CONTRARY IN ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF BOTH PARTIES, AND THE RECOVERY BY EITHER PARTY OR INDEMNITEE OF ANY COVERED LIABILITIES SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY IT AS A RESULT OF ANY BREACH OR NONFULFILLMENT BY A PARTY OF ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS, AGREEMENTS, OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL DAMAGES AND SHALL NOT INCLUDE OR APPLY TO, NOR SHALL EITHER PARTY OR INDEMNITEE BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER, ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DAMAGES ON ACCOUNT OF LOST PROFITS OR OPPORTUNITIES OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY EITHER PARTY OR INDEMNITEE. For purposes of the foregoing, actual damages may, however, include indirect, consequential, special, incidental, exemplary, or punitive damages to the extent (i) the injuries or losses resulting in or giving rise to such damages are incurred or suffered by a third party who is not an Affiliate of Seller or Buyer, and (ii) such damages are recovered against an Indemnitee by a Person which is a third party who is not an Affiliate of Seller or Buyer. This Section 8.7 shall operate only to limit a Party’s Liability and shall not operate to increase or expand any Contractual obligation of a Party hereunder.

8.8Specific Performance. The Parties agree that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any Breach of this Agreement by either Party. It is hereby agreed that in addition to any other right or remedy to which Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, may be entitled, at law or in equity, either Party shall be entitled to enforce any provisions of this Agreement (including the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions) by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief to prevent Breaches or threatened Breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking.

EXHIBIT 2.2(a)(iii)FORM OF DELEK NOTE

PROMISSORY NOTE

$145,000,000.00    _____________ __, 2015

For value received, DELEK US HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Maker”), having an address at 7102 Commerce Way, Brentwood, Tennessee, hereby promises to pay to ALON ISRAEL OIL COMPANY, LTD., an Israeli corporation, or its successors and assigns, (together with its successors and assigns of this Promissory Note, “Payee”), as hereinafter provided, without any right of setoff, the principal sum of ONE HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE MILLION AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($145,000,000.00) (as such amount is repaid, prepaid, assigned or otherwise reduced from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof, the “Principal”), together with interest from the date hereof on the Principal balance outstanding from time to time as hereinafter provided.

1.    Payment of Principal and Interest. Subject to Section 5, the Principal and interest on this Promissory Note shall be due and payable as follows:

January 4, 2016:     $25,000,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest
January 2, 2017:     $25,000,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest
January 2, 2018:     $25,000,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest

January 4, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”):    $20,000,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest

The outstanding Principal balance hereof and any and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall be finally due and payable in full on the Maturity Date or upon the earlier maturity hereof, whether by acceleration or otherwise.

2.    Interest Rate. The interest rate is a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) 5.5% per annum and (ii) the Maximum Rate (as hereinafter defined) (the “Note Rate”).

3.    Computation. Interest shall be computed on a per annum basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and shall accrue on the actual number of days elapsed.

4.    Payments. All payments and prepayments of Principal or interest on this Promissory Note shall be made without offset in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the U.S. bank account set forth in Schedule 1 attached hereto, or to such other U.S. bank account as Payee shall from time to time specify in writing. Payments made by Maker prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on any Business Day (as hereinafter defined) shall be credited prior to the close of business on the Business Day received, while payments made by Maker on a day other than a Business Day, or after 5:00 p.m. New York City time on a Business Day, shall not be credited until the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment of Principal or interest on this Promissory Note shall become due on a day other than a Business Day, then such

Exhibit 2.2(a)(iii)

-1-

payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and any such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment. For purposes hereof, “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in the State of New York are authorized or required by law to be closed, or are in fact closed.

5.    Prepayment. Maker reserves the right from time to time to prepay, prior to maturity, all or any part of the Principal of this Promissory Note without premium or penalty, and any such prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the Principal amount prepaid. Any such prepayment of Principal shall be applied first to the payment of any then past due Principal or interest payment, and then in the direct order of maturity.

6.    Unconditional Payment. Maker is and shall be obligated to pay all Principal, interest and any and all other amounts which become payable under this Promissory Note absolutely and unconditionally and without any abatement, postponement, diminution or deduction whatsoever and without any reduction for counterclaim or setoff whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Promissory Note to the contrary, Maker shall be entitled to deduct and withhold any and all taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings (including backup withholding), assessments, fees or other charges imposed by any governmental authority, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto (collectively, “Taxes”), required by applicable law to be withheld or deducted from any and all amounts payable under this Promissory Note. To the extent that any such Taxes are so withheld or deducted, such withheld Taxes shall be timely paid by Maker to the relevant governmental taxing authorities in accordance with applicable law and shall be treated for all purposes of this Promissory Note as having been paid to Payee, and Maker shall promptly deliver proof of such payment and related filings to Payee. If at least three Business Days prior to a payment of interest hereunder, Payee has delivered to Maker a valid and properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E certifying (a) that Payee is the beneficial owner of such interest payment and not a U.S. person and a certificate executed by a senior officer of Payee certifying that Payee is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), a “10 percent shareholder” of Maker within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, (b) that Payee is not otherwise subject to U.S. federal withholding taxes under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code, any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code, and any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any such intergovernmental agreement or under any other provisions of the Code, and Section 881(c) of the Code as in effect on the date hereof (or its successor) is still in effect at the time of such payment, Maker agrees to apply the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, as in effect on the date hereof, and not to withhold any U.S. federal withholding taxes from such interest payment; provided, however, that (v) if any form or certification previously delivered by Payee pursuant to this sentence expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, Payee shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Maker in writing of its legal inability to do so, and (w) Payee shall indemnify and hold harmless Maker from and against any and all Taxes imposed on, and any related fees, costs or expenses incurred by, Maker as a result of Payee failing to comply with clause (v), any inaccuracy in any form or

Exhibit 2.2(a)(iii)

-1-

certification to delivered to Maker pursuant to this sentence, or any such interest payment not qualifying for the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code. If the Payee may not claim the exclusion from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 881(c) (or its successor) of the Code, in lieu of the certification provided for in the preceding sentence, it shall have the right to provide a properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E on which it claims the benefits of an applicable tax treaty to reduce the rate of U.S. federal withholding tax to the rate provided for under such treaty, and Maker shall withhold in accordance with such form; provided, however, that (y) if any form or certification previously delivered by Payee pursuant to this sentence expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, Payee shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Maker in writing of its legal inability to do so, and (z) Payee shall indemnify and hold harmless Maker from and against any and all Taxes imposed on, and any related fees, costs or expenses incurred by, Maker as a result of Payee failing to comply with clause (y), any inaccuracy in any form or certification to delivered to Maker pursuant to this sentence, or any such interest payment not qualifying for reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax under such treaty. If at any time any payment received by Payee hereunder shall be deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under Title 11 of the United States Code, as now or hereafter in effect, or any other applicable law, domestic or foreign, as now or hereafter in effect, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, reorganization, arrangement or composition, extension or adjustment of debts, or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors (“Debtor Relief Law”), then the obligation to make such payment shall survive any cancellation or satisfaction of this Promissory Note or return thereof to Maker and shall not be discharged or satisfied with any prior payment thereof or cancellation of this Promissory Note, but shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, and such payment shall be immediately due and payable upon demand.

7.    Default; Default Interest Rate. An “Event of Default” shall occur (i) if Maker fails to pay and satisfy, in full and in the applicable method and manner required, any required payment of Principal or interest evidenced by this Promissory Note within two Business Days of when the same shall become due and payable, whether at the stipulated due date thereof, at a date fixed for payment, or at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, or (ii) in the event of the filing by or against Maker of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law (and, in the case of any such proceeding instituted against Maker, such proceeding is not dismissed or stayed within 60 days of the commencement thereof). For so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, interest shall accrue on the outstanding Principal balance thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Note Rate plus three percent (3%), but in no event in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate.

8.    Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Payee shall have the immediate right (i) to declare the entire unpaid balance of the indebtedness evidenced by this Promissory Note at once immediately due and payable (and upon such declaration, the same shall be at once immediately due and payable) and may be collected forthwith, whether or not there has been a prior demand for payment and regardless of the stipulated date of maturity and (ii) to exercise any of Payee’s other rights, powers, recourses and remedies under this Promissory Note, at law or in equity. If Payee retains an attorney-at-law in connection with any Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing to collect, enforce, or defend this Note or any part hereof, in

Exhibit 2.2(a)(iii)

-2-

any lawsuit or in any reorganization, bankruptcy or other proceeding, then Maker agrees to pay to Payee, in addition to the principal balance hereof and all interest hereon, all costs and expenses incurred by Payee in any such suit or proceeding, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees.

9.    No Usury Intended; Usury Savings Clause. In no event shall interest contracted for, charged or received by Payee hereunder, plus any other charges in connection herewith which constitute interest, exceed the maximum rate (the “Maximum Rate”) of non-usurious interest permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to Payee in excess of the Maximum Rate, the interest payable to Payee will be reduced automatically to the Maximum Rate. If Payee will ever receive interest, or anything of value deemed interest under applicable law, which would apart from this provision be in excess of the Maximum Rate, an amount equal to any amount which would have been excessive interest will be applied to the reduction of the Principal amount owing hereunder, and not to the payment of interest, or if such amount which would have been excessive interest exceeds the unpaid Principal balance hereunder, such excess will be refunded to Maker. The interest and any other amounts that would have been payable hereunder but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9 shall be cumulated and the interest and other amounts shall be increased (but not above the maximum amount permitted under applicable law) until such cumulated amount shall have been received by Payee. To the extent permitted by applicable law, determination of the Maximum Rate shall at all times be made by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the indebtedness (including any renewal or extension), all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from Maker hereof in connection with the indebtedness evidenced hereby, so that the actual rate of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Rate.

10.    No Waiver; Amendment. The failure to exercise any remedy available to Payee shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights or remedies of Payee under this Promissory Note or at law or in equity. No extension of the time for the payment of this Promissory Note or any installment due hereunder, made by agreement with any person now or hereafter liable for the payment of this Promissory Note, shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Maker under this Promissory Note, either in whole or in part, unless Payee expressly agrees otherwise in writing. This Promissory Note may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, or modification is sought.

11.    Waiver. THE MAKEREXPRESSLY WAIVES AND RELINQUISHES PRESENTMENT AND DEMAND FOR PAYMENT, NOTICE OF DEFAULT, NOTICE OF INTENT TO ACCELERATE MATURITY, NOTICE OF ACCELERATION OF MATURITY, PROTEST, NOTICE OF PROTEST, NOTICE OF DISHONOR, AND ALL OTHER NOTICES AND DEMANDS FOR WHICH WAIVER IS NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, AND DILIGENCE IN THE COLLECTION HEREOF. If any provision hereof is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prohibited or unenforceable, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability, and such prohibition or unenforceability shall not invalidate the balance of such provision to the extent it is not prohibited or unenforceable, nor

Exhibit 2.2(a)(iii)

-3-

invalidate the other provisions hereof, all of which shall be liberally construed in favor of Payee in order to effect the provisions of this Promissory Note.

NOTHING IN THIS PROMISSORY NOTE SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT MAKER OR PAYEE MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS PROMISSORY NOTE IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

C.    The Parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is not a party to, is not bound by, and has no duties or obligations under, the Stock Purchase Agreement, that all references in this Escrow Agreement to the Stock Purchase Agreement are for convenience, and that the Escrow Agent shall have no implied duties beyond the express duties set forth in this Escrow Agreement. For the purposes of this Escrow Agreement, “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York are authorized or required by law to close.

In consideration of the promises and agreements of the Parties and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties and the Escrow Agent agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

Exhibit 2.3

Section 1.2.    Investments.

(a)    The Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to deposit, transfer, hold and invest the Escrow Property and any investment income thereon as set forth in Exhibit A hereto, or as set forth in any subsequent written instruction signed by the Parties. The Escrow Amount, together with all investment earnings and income on the Escrow Amount, is referred to herein as the “Escrow Property”. The Escrow Property shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 1.3 or Section 1.6 of this Escrow Agreement.

(b)    The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized and directed to sell or redeem any such investments as it deems necessary to make any payments or distributions required under this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss which may result from any investment or sale of investment made pursuant to this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized, in making or disposing of any investment permitted by this Escrow Agreement, to deal with itself (in its individual capacity) or with any one or more of its affiliates, whether it or any such affiliate is acting as agent of the Escrow Agent or for any third person or dealing as principal for its own account. The Parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is not providing investment supervision, recommendations, or advice.

Section 1.3.    Disbursements. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Property and shall deliver the Escrow Property to Alon Israel or to Delek, as applicable, in accordance with the following procedures:

(a)    Any time following the effective date of this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrow Property in accordance with the joint written instruction of the Parties; or

(b)    If the Escrow Agent receives a written statement (the “Buyer Notice”) from any of the representatives of Delek specified in Part I of Exhibit B-2 stating that the Stock Purchase Agreement has terminated (regardless of the reason for such termination) and attaching any relevant termination notices (which attached termination notices shall not be binding upon and need not be reviewed by the Escrow Agent), the Escrow Agent shall, (i) provide a copy of the Buyer Notice to Alon Israel and (ii) no sooner than five (5) Business Days following the date Alon Israel received the Buyer Notice (either from Delek or the Escrow Agent) and no later than seven (7) Business Days following such date, disburse the Escrow Property to Delek. Delek shall also provide a copy of the Buyer Notice to Alon Israel.

Section 1.4.    Security Procedure For Funds Transfers. The Escrow Agent shall confirm each funds transfer instruction received in the name of a Party by means of the security procedure selected by such Party and communicated to the Escrow Agent through a signed certificate in the form of Exhibit B-1 or Exhibit B-2 attached hereto, which upon receipt by the Escrow Agent shall become a part of this Escrow Agreement. Once delivered to the Escrow Agent, Exhibit B-1 or Exhibit B-2 may be revised or rescinded only by a writing signed by an authorized representative of the Party. Such revisions or rescissions shall be effective only after actual receipt and following such period of time

Exhibit 2.3

as may be necessary to afford the Escrow Agent a reasonable opportunity to act on it. If a revised Exhibit B-1 or B-2 or a rescission of an existing Exhibit B-1 or B-2 is delivered to the Escrow Agent by an entity that is a successor-in-interest to such Party, such document shall be accompanied by additional documentation satisfactory to the Escrow Agent showing that such entity has succeeded to the rights and responsibilities of the Party under this Escrow Agreement.

The Parties understand that the Escrow Agent’s inability to receive or confirm funds transfer instructions pursuant to the security procedure selected by such Party may result in a delay in accomplishing such funds transfer, and agree that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss caused by any such delay.

Section 1.5.    Income Tax Allocation and Reporting.

(a)    The Parties agree that, for tax reporting purposes, all interest and other income from investment of the Escrow Property shall, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Service, be reported as having been earned by the Party receiving the Escrow Property pursuant to the terms of this Escrow Agreement during the calendar year in which the Escrow Property is disbursed.

(b)    For certain payments made pursuant to this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent may be required to make a “reportable payment” or “withholdable payment” and in such cases the Escrow Agent shall have the duty to act as a payor or withholding agent, respectively, that is responsible for any tax withholding and reporting required under Chapters 3, 4, and 61 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Escrow Agent shall have the sole right to make the determination as to which payments are “reportable payments” or “withholdable payments.” All parties to this Escrow Agreement shall provide an executed IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8 (or, in each case, any successor form) to the Escrow Agent prior to closing, and shall promptly update any such form to the extent such form becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to request from any party to this Escrow Agreement, or any other Person entitled to payment hereunder, any additional forms, documentation or other information as may be reasonably necessary for the Escrow Agent to satisfy its reporting and withholding obligations under the Code. If a party required to deliver any such forms under this Section 1.5(b) does not provide such forms prior to or by the time the related payment is required to be made or the Escrow Agent reasonably determines such forms to be invalid, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to withhold on any such payments to such person hereunder to the extent withholding is required under Chapters 3, 4, or 61 of the Code, and shall have no obligation to gross up any such payment. If the Escrow Agent determines any such forms to be invalid, the Escrow Agent shall use reasonable efforts to notify the party that delivered such forms of such determination.

(c)    To the extent that the Escrow Agent becomes liable for the payment of any taxes in respect of income derived from the investment of the Escrow Property, the Escrow Agent shall satisfy such liability to the extent possible from the Escrow Property. The Parties, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against any tax, late payment, interest, penalty or other cost or expense that may be assessed against the Escrow Agent on or with respect to the Escrow Property and the investment thereof unless such tax, late

Exhibit 2.3

payment, interest, penalty or other expense was directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent. The indemnification provided by this Section 1.5(c) is in addition to the indemnification provided in Section 3.1 and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent and the termination of this Escrow Agreement.

Section 1.6.    Termination. This Escrow Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the five (5) year anniversary of the date hereof, provided that such term shall be automatically extended for so long as Escrow Property remains on deposit, (ii) a written agreement of Delek and Alon Israel to terminate this Escrow Agreement, or (iii) upon the disbursement of all of the Escrow Property, including any interest and investment earnings thereon, except that the provisions of Sections 1.5(c), 3.1 and 3.2 hereof shall survive termination  and the Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to disburse the Escrow Property in accordance with Section 1.3 of this Escrow Agreement.

THE ESCROW AGENT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY (I) DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, OTHER THAN DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES WHICH HAVE BEEN FINALLY ADJUDICATED TO HAVE DIRECTLY RESULTED FROM THE ESCROW AGENT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR (II) SPECIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), EVEN IF THE ESCROW AGENT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION.

Section 3.3.    Resignation or Removal. The Escrow Agent may resign by furnishing written notice of its resignation to the Parties, and the Parties may remove the Escrow Agent by furnishing to the Escrow Agent a joint written notice of its removal along with payment of all fees and expenses to which the Escrow Agent is entitled through the date of removal. Such resignation or removal, as the case may be, shall be effective thirty (30) days after the delivery of such notice or upon the earlier appointment of a successor, and the Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility thereafter shall be to safely keep the Escrow Property and to deliver the same to a successor escrow agent as shall be

Exhibit 2.3

appointed by the Parties, as evidenced by a joint written notice filed with the Escrow Agent or in accordance with a court order.

Section 3.5.    Disagreements. If any conflict, disagreement or dispute arises between, among, or involving any of the parties hereto concerning the meaning or validity of any provision hereunder or concerning any other matter relating to this Escrow Agreement, or the Escrow Agent is in doubt as to the action to be taken hereunder, the Escrow Agent may, at its option, retain the Escrow Property until the Escrow Agent (i) receives a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or a final non-appealable arbitration decision directing delivery of the Escrow Property, (ii) receives a written agreement executed by each of the parties involved in such disagreement or dispute directing delivery of the Escrow Property, in which event the Escrow Agent shall be authorized to disburse the Escrow Property in accordance with such final court order, arbitration decision, or agreement, or (iii) files an interpleader action in any court of competent jurisdiction, and upon the filing thereof, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all liability as to the Escrow Property and shall be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees, expenses and other costs incurred in commencing and maintaining any such interpleader action.

In the event that any Escrow Property shall be attached, garnished or levied upon by any court order, or the delivery thereof shall be stayed or enjoined by an order of a court, or any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court order affecting the Escrow Property, the Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized, in its sole discretion, to respond as it deems appropriate or to comply with all writs, orders or decrees so entered or issued, or which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing is binding upon it, whether with or without jurisdiction. In the event that the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such writ, order or decree it shall not be liable to any of the Parties or to any other person, firm or corporation, should, by reason of such compliance notwithstanding, such writ, order or decree be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

EXHIBIT A

Agency and Custody Account Direction

For Cash Balances

Direction to use Wells Fargo Advantage Funds for Cash Balances for the escrow account or accounts (the “Account”) established under the Escrow Agreement to which this Exhibit A is attached.

You are hereby directed to invest, as indicated below or as the Parties shall direct further from time to time, all cash in the Account in the following money market portfolio of Wells Fargo Advantage Funds (the “Fund”):

Wells Fargo Advantage Funds, 100% Treasury Money Market Fund (NWTXX)

The Parties acknowledge that they have received, at their request, and reviewed the Fund’s prospectus and have determined that the Fund is an appropriate investment for the Account.

The Parties understand from reading the Fund’s prospectus that Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Wells Fargo Funds Management”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company, provides investment advisory and other administrative services for the Wells Fargo Advantage Funds. Other affiliates of Wells Fargo & Company provide sub-advisory and other services for the Funds. Boston Financial Data Services serves as transfer agent for the Funds. The Funds are distributed by Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, Member NASD/SIPC, an affiliate of Wells Fargo & Company. The Parties also understand that Wells Fargo & Company will be paid, and its bank affiliates may be paid, fees for services to the Funds and that those fees may include Processing Organization fees as described in the Fund's prospectus.

The Parties acknowledge that they jointly have full power to direct investments of the Account.

Exhibit 2.3

[Exhibit A to Escrow Agreement]

EXHIBIT B-1

Alon Israel Oil Company, Ltd., an Israel corporation (“Alon Israel”) certifies that the names, titles, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and specimen signatures set forth in Parts I and II of this Exhibit B-1 identify the persons authorized to provide direction and initiate or confirm transactions, including funds transfer instructions, on behalf of Alon Israel, and that the option checked in Part III of this Exhibit B-1 is the security procedure selected by Alon Israel for use in verifying that a funds transfer instruction received by the Escrow Agent is that of Alon Israel.

Alon Israel has reviewed each of the security procedures and has determined that the option checked in Part III of this Exhibit B-1 best meets its requirements; given the size, type and frequency of the instructions it will issue to the Escrow Agent. By selecting the security procedure specified in Part III of this Exhibit B-1, Alon Israel acknowledges that it has elected to not use the other security procedures described and agrees to be bound by any funds transfer instruction, whether or not authorized, issued in its name and accepted by the Escrow Agent in compliance with the particular security procedure chosen by Alon Israel.

NOTICE: The security procedure selected by Alon Israel will not be used to detect errors in the funds transfer instructions given by Alon Israel. If a funds transfer instruction describes the beneficiary of the payment inconsistently by name and account number, payment may be made on the basis of the account number even if it identifies a person different from the named beneficiary. If a funds transfer instruction describes a participating financial institution inconsistently by name and identification number, the identification number may be relied upon as the proper identification of the financial institution. Therefore, it is important that Alon Israel take such steps as it deems prudent to ensure that there are no such inconsistencies in the funds transfer instructions it sends to the Escrow Agent.

Part III

Means for delivery of instructions and/or confirmations

The security procedure to be used with respect to funds transfer instructions is checked below:

Option 1. Confirmation by telephone call-back. The Escrow Agent shall confirm funds transfer instructions by telephone call-back to a person at the telephone number designated on Part II above. The person confirming the funds transfer instruction shall be a person other than the person from whom the funds transfer instruction was received, unless only one person is designated in both Parts I and II of this Exhibit B-1.

CHECK box, if applicable:

If the Escrow Agent is unable to obtain confirmation by telephone call-back, the Escrow Agent may, at its discretion, confirm by e-mail, as described in Option 2.

Option 2. Confirmation by e-mail. The Escrow Agent shall confirm funds transfer instructions by e-mail to a person at the e-mail address specified for such person in Part II of this Exhibit B-1. The person confirming the funds transfer instruction shall be a person other than the person from whom the funds transfer instruction was received, unless only one person is designated in both Parts I and II of this Exhibit B-1. Alon Israel understands the risks associated with communicating sensitive matters, including time sensitive matters, by e-mail. Alon Israel further acknowledges that instructions and data sent by e-mail may be less confidential or secure than instructions or data transmitted by other methods.

EXHIBIT B-2

Delek US Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Delek”) certifies that the names, titles, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and specimen signatures set forth in Parts I and II of this Exhibit B-2 identify the persons authorized to provide direction and initiate or confirm transactions, including funds transfer instructions, on behalf of Delek, and that the option checked in Part III of this Exhibit B-2 is the security procedure selected by Delek for use in verifying that a funds transfer instruction received by the Escrow Agent is that of Delek.

Delek has reviewed each of the security procedures and has determined that the option checked in Part III of this Exhibit B-2 best meets its requirements; given the size, type and frequency of the instructions it will issue to the Escrow Agent. By selecting the security procedure specified in Part III of this Exhibit B-2, Delek acknowledges that it has elected to not use the other security procedures described and agrees to be bound by any funds transfer instruction, whether or not authorized, issued in its name and accepted by the Escrow Agent in compliance with the particular security procedure chosen by Delek.

NOTICE: The security procedure selected by Delek will not be used to detect errors in the funds transfer instructions given by Delek. If a funds transfer instruction describes the beneficiary of the payment inconsistently by name and account number, payment may be made on the basis of the account number even if it identifies a person different from the named beneficiary. If a funds transfer instruction describes a participating financial institution inconsistently by name and identification number, the identification number may be relied upon as the proper identification of the financial institution. Therefore, it is important that Delek take such steps as it deems prudent to ensure that there are no such inconsistencies in the funds transfer instructions it sends to the Escrow Agent.

The person confirming the funds transfer instruction shall be a person other than the person from whom the funds transfer instruction was received, unless only one person is designated in both Parts I and II of this Exhibit B-2. Delek understands the risks associated with communicating sensitive matters, including time sensitive matters, by e-mail. Delek further acknowledges that instructions and data sent by e-mail may be less confidential or secure than instructions or data transmitted by other methods. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss of the confidentiality of instructions and data prior to receipt by the Escrow Agent.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

2.1 Registration Rights.

(a)DemandRegistration.

(i)Demand Procedure. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(a)(ii), at any time beginning on the date of expiration of the transfer restriction set forth in Section 6.3 of the Purchase Agreement, until the fifth (5^th) annual anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Registration Term”), a Holder shall have the right (the “Demand Right”), by written notice to the Company (a “Demand Notice”), to require the Company to register all or a portion of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act (in each case, a “Demand Registration”); provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to register any Registrable Securities under this Section 2.1(a): (A) unless and until the Company receives Demand Notices demanding registration of Registrable Securities from the Holder or Holders of at least a majority of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities; (B) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1(a)(iii), if the Company is in the process of effecting a demand registration under this Section 2.1(a); (C) prior to the filing by the Company of a Current Report on Form 8-K, or amendment thereto, which includes the financial statements and pro forma financial information required under Item 9.01(a) and 9.01(b) of Form 8-K with respect to the acquisition contemplated by the Purchase Agreement; or (D) if a Registration Statement filed pursuant to a Demand Notice is already effective which would permit the distribution sought in a new Demand Notice. The Company shall, within five (5) Business Days after the date a Demand Notice is given, provide written notice of such request to all Holders of Registrable Securities. As soon as practicable, but in any case subject to clauses (A) through (D) above, no later than thirty (30) days following the receipt by the Company of the original Demand Notice, the Company will file (i) an “automatic shelf registration statement” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) on Form S‑3ASR with the SEC, if the Company is then a “well-known seasoned issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) eligible to file Form S-3ASR under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, or (ii) a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, if the Company is not then eligible to file an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR under the applicable rules of the SEC, in either case with respect to resale of the issued and outstanding Registrable Securities covered by the original Demand Notice and any additional Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, as specified by such other Holders in a Demand Notice which shall be provided to the Company on or before ten (10) days after the date the Company’s Notice is given to such Holders; provided, however, that if the Company is not then eligible to file a Registration Statement on Form

Exhibit 2.5(e)

Registration Rights Agreement

Page 4 of 15

S-3ASR or Form S-3, the Company shall instead file a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or other applicable form) no later than sixty (60) days following receipt of the original Demand Notice. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as practicable after such filing (except in the case of an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR that is deemed effective upon filing). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Demand Right described in this Section 2.1(a)(i) has been properly exercised in the accordance with the terms hereof on or before the end of the Registration Term, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein notwithstanding the fact that effectiveness would occur after the Registration Term. The Company shall not be required to effect a Demand Registration more than five (5) times for the Holders as a group.

(ii)Postponement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company will, upon written notice to any Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in or proposed to be included in a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i), be entitled to postpone the filing of, or, except in the case of an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S‑3ASR, declaration of effectiveness of, any Registration Statement prepared pursuant to the exercise of a Demand Right for a reasonable period of time not in excess of ninety (90) days, if the board of directors of the Company determines, in the good faith exercise of its business judgment, and has delivered to the Holders written certification to the effect, that such registration and offering would (A) require disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company which, at such time, is not in the best interest of the Company or (B) materially and adversely affect the Company; provided, however, such postponement right shall be exercised by the Company not more than twice in any twelve (12) month period. In the event of any such postponement, the Company will promptly notify the Holders in writing when the events or circumstances permitting such postponement have ended. In the event that the Company is subject to a binding lock-up agreement with one or more third-party underwriters at any time that a Holder requests a Demand Registration, the Company shall have the right to postpone the filing of a Registration Statement pursuant to the Demand Notice until the expiration of the applicable lock-up period (not to exceed ninety (90) days, plus any customary extension period of the applicable underwriter).

(iii)Marketing Factors. If any Demand Registration is in the form of an Underwritten Offering, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be so registered will select and obtain the services of the investment banking firm or firms and manager or managers that will administer the offering and the counsel to such investment banking firms and managers; provided that such investment banking firm, managers and counsel must be reasonably satisfactory to the Company. If the Managing Underwriter or underwriters of any proposed Underwritten Offering of shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Demand Registration advises the Company that the total issued and outstanding Registrable Securities held by all of the Holders exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering or would have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the shares of Common Stock proposed to be offered in such Underwritten Offering, then the shares of Common Stock to be included in such Underwritten Offering on behalf of the Holders shall include the number of Registrable Securities that such Managing Underwriter or underwriters advises the Company can be sold without having such adverse effect, and the number of shares that may be included in such Underwritten Offering shall be allocated to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each Holder. If the Managing Underwriter excludes or withdraws 50% or more of the total issued and outstanding Registrable Securities from such Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(iii), then such Demand Registration shall not count as a Demand Registration permitted hereunder. If the Managing Underwriter excludes or withdraws any Registrable Securities from such Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(iii), then the Registration Term shall be extended until such time as those excluded or withdrawn Registrable Securities

Exhibit 2.5(e)

Registration Rights Agreement

Page 5 of 15

are registered under a Registration Statement or cease to be Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the Registration Term shall in no event be extended beyond the date that is five (5) years and six (6) months after the Closing Date.

(b)Piggyback Registration.

(i)Participation. If the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement at any time beginning on the Closing Date, until the end of the Registration Term, with respect to shares of Common Stock for its own account, for sale to the public, or to register shares of Common Stock for stockholders of the Company other than the Holders, other than (x) a registration on Form S-8 relating solely to employee benefit plans, (y) a registration relating solely to a transaction contemplated by Rule 145 under the Securities Act, or (z) a registration on any registration form which does not permit secondary sales or does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a Registration Statement covering the sale of Registrable Securities, the Company shall give prompt notice of such proposed registration to each Holder and such notice shall offer each Holder (or any Holder who is not participating in the proposed Registration Statement) the opportunity to include in such registration such number of Registrable Securities (the “Included Registrable Securities”) as such Holder may request in writing (a “Piggyback Registration”). The notice required to be provided in this Section 2.1(b)(i) to each Holder shall be provided pursuant to Section 3.3 and receipt of such notice shall be confirmed by each Holder. Each Holder shall then have fifteen (15) days to request inclusion of Registrable Securities in the registration. If no request for inclusion from a Holder is received within the specified time, such Holder shall have no further right to participate in such Piggyback Registration. If, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to undertake a registration and prior to the closing of such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to undertake or to delay such registration, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Selling Holders and, (x) in the case of a determination not to undertake such registration, shall be relieved of its obligation to sell any Included Registrable Securities in connection with such terminated registration, and (y) in the case of a determination to delay such registration, shall be permitted to delay offering any Included Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in the registration. Any Selling Holder shall have the right to withdraw such Selling Holder’s request for inclusion of such Selling Holder’s Registrable Securities in such offering by giving written notice to the Company of such withdrawal up to and including the time of pricing of such offering. A Piggyback Registration shall not be considered a Demand Registration for purposes of Section 2.1(a) of this Agreement.

(ii)Priority of Piggyback Registration. If the Managing Underwriter or underwriters of any proposed Underwritten Offering of shares of Common Stock included in a Piggyback Registration advises the Company that the total amount of shares of Common Stock which the Selling Holders and any other Persons (other than the Company) intend to include in such offering exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering or would have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the shares of Common Stock proposed to be offered in such Underwritten Offering, then the shares of Common Stock to be included in such Underwritten Offering on behalf of the Selling Holders shall include the number of Registrable Securities that such Managing Underwriter or underwriters advises the Company can be sold without having such adverse effect. Such shares of Common Stock shall be allocated pro rata among the Selling Holders and any other Persons who possess registration rights who have requested participation in the Piggyback Registration (“Other Holders”) (based, for each such Selling Holder or Other Holder, on the percentage derived by dividing (A) the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company proposed to be sold by such Selling Holder or such Other Holder in such offering by (B) the aggregate number of shares of such class of securities proposed to be sold by all Selling Holders and all Other Holders in the Piggyback Registration).

Exhibit 2.5(e)

Registration Rights Agreement

Page 6 of 15

(c)Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.1(b) shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any Registration Expenses for any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.1(a) if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all selling Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration), unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree that such withdrawn registration shall constitute a Demand Registration to which they were entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(a). All Selling Expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities registered by or on behalf of the Holders shall be borne by such Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities so registered except to the extent such Selling Expense is specifically attributable to one Holder, in which case it shall be borne by such Holder.

(d)Registration Procedures. In the case of the registration, qualification or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will, upon reasonable request, inform each Holder as to the status of such registration, qualification and compliance. At its expense, in the case of a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(b), the Company will, during such time as any Holder holds Registrable Securities:

(i)use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and to prepare and file such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement and any documents required to be incorporated by reference therein as may be necessary to keep the applicable Registration Statement filed and declared effective pursuant to this Agreement, and any related qualification or compliance under state securities laws which it is necessary to obtain, effective until the earliest of (A) three (3) years after the declaration of effectiveness of the Registration Statement by the SEC, (B) the date upon which all Registrable Securities cease to be Registrable Securities and (C) the date upon which the Holders have completed the distribution described in such Registration Statement, whichever first occurs (the period of time during which the Company is required hereunder to keep the Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “Registration Period”); provided, however, that in the case of clause (A), such Registration Period shall be extended by a period of time equal to the duration of any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court issued to or by which the Company is bound and by any postponement initiated by the board of directors of the Company pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii); provided further, however, that in no event shall any such extension period exceed six (6) months.

(ii)at least five (5) Business Days prior to filing a Registration Statement and at least three (3) Business Days prior to the filing of a prospectus or any amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or a prospectus (but not any periodic report to be incorporated by reference in a Registration Statement or a prospectus), the Company shall furnish to the Holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement and the underwriter or underwriters, if any, copies of or drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents shall be subject to the reasonable review of such Holders and underwriters, if any, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy any objections with respect thereto raised by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities participating in such registration or the underwriters, if any;

Exhibit 2.5(e)

Registration Rights Agreement

Page 7 of 15

(iii)in the event of any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the underwriter(s) of such offering;

(iv)furnish such number of prospectuses and other documents incident thereto as any Holder from time to time may reasonably request to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder;

(v)use commercially reasonable efforts to timely register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder in such jurisdictions; provided, that the Company will not be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 2.1(d), (B) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (C) file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction;

(vi)notify each Holder of such Registrable Securities as promptly as practicable (A) after becoming aware of the happening of any event as a result of which the Registration Statement, the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, or any prospectus supplement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (B) if the board of directors of the Company determines, in the good faith exercise of its business judgment, that the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement would (I) require disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company which, at such time, is not in the best interest of the Company, or (II) otherwise materially and adversely affect the Company, (C) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose or the receipt by the Company of written correspondence from the SEC notifying the Company that the SEC may undertake either of the foregoing or (D) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the applicable securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction, and notify each Holder of such Registrable Securities when such events or circumstances have ended and the applicable Registration Statement is again available for use in connection with dispositions of Registrable Securities and, if appropriate, the Company will in connection therewith prepare a supplement or amendment to the prospectus included in the applicable Registration Statement so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and to take such other commercially reasonable action as is necessary to remove a stop order, suspension, written notification from the SEC of the possibility thereof or proceedings related thereto;

(vii)notify each Holder of such Registrable Securities as promptly as practicable of (A) the filing of the Registration Statement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement to be used in connection therewith, or any amendment or supplement thereto, and, with respect to such Registration Statement or any other registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; and (B) the receipt of any written comments from the SEC

(e)Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

(i)To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Holder, the directors, officers, members, partners, employees, agents, underwriters, advisors, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls any Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, a “Company Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject to the extent such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any document incorporated by reference therein or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other blue sky laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (B) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus or contained in any related free writing prospectuses of the Company or in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading or (C) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (A) through (C) being, collectively, “Violations”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 2.1(e)(i): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by a Company Indemnified Person to the extent arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Company Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto and (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holders pursuant to Section 2.1(h).

(ii)In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder is participating, each such Holder agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 2.1(e)(i), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, each of its employees, agents, advisors and representatives and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, a “Holder Indemnified Person”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, to the extent such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.1(e)(ii) and the

Exhibit 2.5(e)

Registration Rights Agreement

Page 10 of 15

agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 2.1(e)(iv) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, however, that the Holder shall be liable under this Section 2.1(e)(ii) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds (net of any Selling Expenses) to such Holder as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement, except in the event of fraud by such Holder. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holders pursuant to Section 2.1(h). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 2.1(e)(ii) with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder Indemnified Person if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented.

(iii)Each Company Indemnified Person or Holder Indemnified Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 2.1(e) (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any Claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and unless in such Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest may exist between such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such Claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such Claim, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense, and provided, further, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, unless such failure is prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party in defending such Claim.

(iv)If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.1(e) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any Claim or Indemnified Damages referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Claim or Indemnified Damages in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the Violations which resulted in such Claim or Indemnified Damages as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the Violation relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such Violation. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f)Covenants of Holders.

(i)Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company pursuant to Section 2.1(d)(vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement (and if so requested by the Company, each Holder shall deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice), until the receipt of written notification from the Company that the circumstances

Exhibit 2.5(e)

Registration Rights Agreement

Page 11 of 15

requiring the discontinuation of the use of such Registration Statement have ended and, if applicable, receipt from the Company of copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus.

(ii)Each Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement pursuant to an Underwritten Offering severally agrees to enter into such lock-up agreement as the Managing Underwriter may in its reasonable discretion require in connection with any such Underwritten Offering (which lock-up agreement may provide for a lock-up period of up to 90 days, plus any customary extension period of the applicable underwriter); provided, however, that all executive officers and directors of the Company shall be subject to similar restrictions or enter into similar agreements (subject to such exceptions as the Managing Underwriter may permit in its reasonable discretion).

(iii)Each Holder agrees to notify the Company, at any time when a prospectus relating to a Registration Statement contemplated by Sections 2.1(a) or 2.1(b), as the case may be, is required to be delivered by it under the Securities Act, of the occurrence of any event relating to the Holder which requires the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus included in the Registration Statement so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading relating to such Holder, and each Holder shall promptly make available to the Company the information to enable the Company to prepare any such supplement or amendment. Each Holder also agrees that, upon delivery of any notice by it to the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in the preceding sentence of this subsection, the Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement until its receipt of the copies of the supplemental or amended prospectus contemplated by this subsection, which the Company shall promptly make available to each Holder and, if so requested by the Company, each Holder shall deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of delivery of such notice.

(iv)Each Holder shall promptly furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing or as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Section 2.1. Such Holder will assist the Company in updating such information in the Registration Statement and any prospectus supplement relating thereto.

(v)Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the Registration Statement described in this Section 2.1 are not transferable on the books of the Company unless the stock certificate evidencing such Registrable Securities (or other applicable documentation, if the Registrable Securities are registered as restricted securities in book-entry form in a direct registration system maintained for the Company by its transfer agent) is submitted to the Company’s transfer agent.

(vi)Each Holder hereby covenants with the Company not to make any disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement other than in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable laws (provided, that for purposes of this covenant, each Holder shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy and completeness of disclosures with respect to which the Company is providing indemnification pursuant to Section 2.1(e) hereof).

Exhibit 2.5(e)

Registration Rights Agreement

Page 12 of 15

(vii)Each Holder agrees not to take any action with respect to any distribution deemed to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement that constitutes a violation of Regulation M under the Exchange Act or to take any action that violates any other applicable rule, regulation or securities law, including, without limitation, laws relating to short-selling. If requested by the SEC in connection with the review of a Registration Statement or otherwise, each Holder agrees to certify its acknowledgement of the matters described in the preceding sentence and compliance therewith.

(g)Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable best efforts after the Closing Date and until the earlier of (i) the end of the Registration Term (or, if the filing or effectiveness of a Registration Statement pursuant to a Demand Registration is then pending as set forth in the penultimate sentence of Section 2.1(a)(i) or a Registration Statement is then effective, the end of the latest expiring Registration Period with respect to any such Registration Statement) and (ii) such date that the Registrable Securities have been (A) disposed of pursuant to a Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC, (B) disposed of pursuant to Rule 144 or (C) otherwise been sold in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act so that all transfer restrictions and restrictive legends with respect thereto are removed upon the consummation of such sale, to:

(i)make and keep adequate current public information with respect to the Company available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times; and

(ii)file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act.

(h)Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities granted to the Holder by the Company under Sections 2.1(a) and 2.1(b) may be assigned in full by a Holder (i) to a Subsidiary of such Holder, provided that such Holder retains its ownership interest in such Subsidiary, (ii) to an Affiliate of such Holder (other than a Subsidiary of such Holder) provided that such assignment shall NOT be with the intent of or as part of a transaction or a series of related transactions to transfer, assign, merge or exchange such Affiliate to or with a Person that is not an Affiliate of such Holder or (iii) to a transferee or assignee in conjunction with a transfer or assignment of all or substantially all of such Holder’s assets to such transferee or assignee; provided, however, that (A) any transfer or assignment pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) shall be effected in accordance with applicable securities laws; (B) such Holder gives prior written notice to the Company; and (C) such transferee agrees in writing to comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such transfer does not violate any other provision of this Agreement. Except as permitted by this Section 2.1(h), the rights of a Holder with respect to Registrable Securities as set out herein shall not be transferable to any other Person, and any attempted transfer shall cause all rights of such Holder therein to be forfeited.

ARTICLE III
MISCELLANEOUS

3.1Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed (both as to validity and performance), interpreted and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any conflicts of law provisions thereof that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Exhibit 2.5(e)

Registration Rights Agreement

Page 13 of 15

3.2Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that such transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible.

3.3Notices. Notices shall be provided as set forth in Section 10.5 of the Purchase Agreement, and such provisions are incorporated herein for all purposes.

3.4Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

3.5Waivers and Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely), but only by an instrument in writing authorized by the Company and the Holder or Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities and signed by the Company and such Holder or Holders, as applicable. Upon the effectuation of each such amendment or waiver, the Company shall promptly give written notice thereof to any Holder who has not previously received notice thereof or consented thereto in writing. No failure or delay on the part of any party in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any covenant or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right.

3.6Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party and its successors and permitted assigns.

3.7Entire Agreement. This Agreement, in conjunction with the Purchase Agreement, constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties, and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

3.8Interpretation. Unless otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 1.2 of the Purchase Agreement, and such provisions are incorporated herein for all purposes.

3.9Dispute Resolution. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.11, the dispute resolution provisions in Section 10.6 of the Purchase Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement, and such provisions are incorporated herein for all purposes.

3.10Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts and by the different parties hereto 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.

3.11Specific Performance. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.9, the parties hereto acknowledge that there would be no adequate remedy at law if they fail to perform their obligations hereunder, and it is therefore agreed that each such Person, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, will have the right to an injunction (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, enjoining any such breach, and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof, and each of the parties hereto hereby waives any and all defenses it may

Exhibit 2.5(e)

Registration Rights Agreement

Page 14 of 15

have on the ground of lack of jurisdiction or competence of the court to grant such an injunction or other equitable relief. The existence of this right will not preclude any such Person from pursuing any other rights and remedies at law or in equity that such Person may have.

3.12No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement shall be construed to give any Person other than the parties hereto any legal or equitable rights hereunder.
