4

US-DOCS\137246414.29


afforded to it under this Section 2.5, including the right to dispute such amounts and the calculations related thereto in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.5(b).
(b)If Seller objects to any matter set forth on the Post-Closing Statement, then Seller shall provide Buyer written notice thereof (the “Dispute Notice”) within thirty (30) days after receiving the Post-Closing Statement; provided that Seller and Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed on (i) the Purchase Price set forth in the Post-Closing Statement if Seller fails to provide the Dispute Notice within such thirty (30)-day period or Seller accepts in writing the Purchase Price set forth on the Post-Closing Statement and (ii) all items and amounts set forth in the Post-Closing Statement that are not disputed by Seller in the Dispute Notice.  If the Dispute Notice is timely delivered to Buyer, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve each disputed matter raised therein and any resolution by the Parties as to any such disputed matter shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties and all such negotiations related thereto (unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and Seller) will be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable similar state rule.  If the Parties are unable to agree on any matter set forth in the Dispute Notice in accordance with this Section 2.5(b) within thirty (30) days after Seller’s delivery of the Dispute Notice to Buyer, then the Parties shall refer such disputed matters to Grant Thornton LLP or, if Grant Thornton LLP declines to act as provided in this Section 2.5(b), a firm of independent public accountants mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller (the “Independent Accountants”), and the Parties shall cause such Independent Accountants, acting as experts and not arbitrators, to make a final, conclusive and binding determination as to only those matters in dispute with respect to this Section 2.5(b) on a timely basis, and, in any event, within thirty (30) days following their appointment, and shall instruct such Independent Accountants to promptly notify the Parties in writing of their resolution of such disputed matters (the “Determination”).  The Parties shall not authorize the Independent Accountants to modify or amend any term or provision of this Agreement or modify items previously agreed between the Parties.  The Independent Accountants shall only make determinations as to those matters in dispute with respect to this Section 2.5(b) and not on any other matters or calculations which are not at dispute and such determinations shall be made in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in this Section 2.5(b).  In resolving any disputed matters hereunder, the Independent Accountants may not assign a value to such item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by Buyer in the Post-Closing Statement or by Seller in the Dispute Notice or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by Buyer in the Post-Closing Statement or by Seller in the Dispute Notice, as applicable.  The Determination shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties and shall be used for purposes of calculating the adjustment pursuant to Section 2.5(c).  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the dispute resolution mechanism contained in this Section 2.5(b) shall be the exclusive mechanism for resolving disputes regarding the adjustment, if any, to the Estimated Purchase Price.  Judgment may be entered upon the Determination in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which the Determination is to be enforced.  Each Party shall be liable for and pay one-half of the fees and other costs and expenses charged by the Independent Accountants.
(c)If the Purchase Price, as finally determined as provided in Section 2.5(a) and Section 2.5(b):
(i)is in excess of the Estimated Purchase Price, then, (A) within five (5) Business Days after such determination, Buyer shall pay or caused to be paid to Seller an

amount equal to the excess of the Purchase Price over the Estimated Purchase Price, if any, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by Seller, and (B) within two (2) Business Days after such determination, the Parties shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to, within three (3) Business Days, distribute to Seller the Escrow Account Balance, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by Seller;
(ii)is less than the Estimated Purchase Price (the absolute value of such shortfall, the “Deficit Amount”), then, within two (2) Business Days after such determination, the Parties shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to, within three (3) Business Days, (A) distribute to Buyer, an amount equal to the Deficit Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by Buyer, (B) if there are any funds remaining in the Escrow Account following the payment to Buyer contemplated by the foregoing clause (A), distribute to Seller, such remaining Escrow Account Balance, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by Seller, and (C) to the extent the funds in the Escrow Account are not sufficient to fully satisfy the Deficit Amount, Seller shall pay or caused to be paid to Buyer an amount equal to the excess of the Deficit Amount over the funds in the Escrow Account by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by Buyer; or
(iii)is equal to the Estimated Purchase Price, then, within two (2) Business Days after such determination, the Parties shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to, within three (3) Business Days, distribute to Seller the entire Escrow Account Balance, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by Seller.
(d)Upon payment of the amounts provided in Section 2.5(c) in accordance with this Section 2.5, neither Party may make or assert any claim under this Section 2.5.
Section 2.6Payments.  Seller and Buyer shall make any payment due to the other pursuant to this Article II by no later than 2:00 p.m. on the day when due (unless otherwise consented to by the Person to whom such payment is due).  All payments shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by or on behalf of the Person entitled to such payment.

Section 6.6Expenses.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement (including Section 6.3(c), Section 6.8(c), Section 6.11 and Section 6.13), whether or not the Closing takes place, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party incurring such costs and expenses, including any fees, expenses or other payments incurred or owed by a Party to any brokers, financial or legal advisors or comparable other persons retained or employed by such Party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 6.7Employee Matters.
(a)Transfer of Employment.  Subject to background checks as provided below, Buyer shall extend a written offer of employment to each Business Employee, and shall hire (effective as of the Closing Date) each Business Employee who accepts such offer, at the same base compensation and in substantially the same job title, in each case as provided by Seller or one of its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date, and otherwise on terms and conditions of employment that satisfy the requirements of this Section 6.7.  Each Business Employee shall receive such offer of employment from Buyer at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing Date, or such earlier time as may be required by applicable Law or the terms of any Labor Agreement.  Prior to extending an offer of employment to a Business Employee, Buyer may, upon receipt of written authorization from the Business Employee, perform, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, a customary background check, subject to any requirements, restrictions or limitations as may be provided in, or any negotiations that may be required under, any applicable Labor Agreement, and further subject to applicable Law. Each Business Employee will be deemed to accept such offer of employment unless he or she affirmatively rejects the offer in writing.  Effective as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date, each Continuing Employee will be deemed to have terminated employment with Seller or its Affiliates, as applicable, and will commence employment with and will become an employee of Buyer or one of its Affiliates.  Buyer and Seller intend that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not result in a severance-qualifying termination of employment of any Continuing Employee prior to or upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that the Continuing Employees will have continuous and uninterrupted employment immediately before and immediately after the Closing Date.
(b)Accrued Vacation and Incentive Plans.  To the extent not paid by Seller, Buyer or its Affiliates will assume all obligations with respect to accrued vacation and paid time off for the Continuing Employees and for annual incentive and bonus awards for Continuing Employees for the performance year during which the Closing occurs.
(c)Employee Liabilities; Benefit Plans.  Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer will assume all liabilities to or with respect to the Continuing Employees, other than liabilities under the Benefit Plans, except as provided in Section 6.7(b).  As of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date, the Continuing Employees will cease participation as active employees in the Benefit Plans and will commence participation in employee benefit plans of the Buyer or its

33

US-DOCS\137246414.29


Affiliates, provided, however, that any Business Employees who have commenced a disability leave of absence prior to the Closing Date and who were eligible for coverage under Seller’s long-term disability plan as of the date of the event giving rise to such disability leave will remain eligible for coverage under the Seller’s long-term disability plan.  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Buyer will not assume or receive any assets or liabilities of any Benefit Plan.  To the extent that a Continuing Employee was a participant in a Benefit Plan of Seller or its Affiliates, such Benefit Plans shall be responsible for providing benefits (including medical, hospital, dental, accidental death and dismemberment, life, disability and other similar benefits) to any participating Continuing Employees only for claims incurred prior to the Closing Date under and subject to the generally applicable terms and conditions of such plans.  As of the Closing Date, Buyer shall designate a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan of Buyer (such plan, the “Buyer Savings Plan”) that will provide for the receipt from the Continuing Employees of “eligible rollover distributions” (as such term is defined in Section 401(a)(31) of the Internal Revenue Code, including notes representing plan loans) and will reasonably cooperate with Seller and the Continuing Employees to allow such Continuing Employees to rollover their account balances (including notes representing plan loans) to the Buyer Savings Plan.
(d)Continuation of Compensation and Benefits.  For a period of not less than one (1) year following the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause the Target Companies to, provide each Continuing Employee with: (i) annual base salary or wages and cash bonuses that are no less than the annual base salary, wages and cash bonuses, respectively, provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, (ii) employee benefits comparable to those benefits that Buyer or its Affiliates provide to their similarly-situated employees during such period and (iii) any other material terms and conditions of employment as were provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date.  The term “other material terms and conditions” in the preceding sentence is limited to practices that, if changed or eliminated, could reasonably give rise to a claim for monetary damages under applicable Law or Contract.
(e)Severance and Paid Time Off.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.7, for a one (1) year period following the Closing, Buyer shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, severance and paid time off benefits to each Continuing Employee that, respectively, are no less favorable than the more favorable of (i) the severance and paid time off benefits in effect in respect of such Continuing Employee immediately before the Closing and (ii) the severance and paid time off benefits payable to such Continuing Employee under any applicable severance plan of Buyer in effect at the time of such termination.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, severance and paid time off benefits for those employees subject to a Labor Agreement shall be governed by the terms of such Labor Agreement.  As of and after the Closing, Buyer shall credit, or shall cause to be credited, each Continuing Employee for all service with Seller or its Affiliates and any respective predecessor entities, if any, for purposes of determining the right to and the amount of severance and paid time off benefits after the Closing to the extent such service was recognized for such purpose under the applicable severance or paid time off benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement covering the Continuing Employee immediately before the Closing.
(f)Benefit Continuation for Continuing Employees.  Buyer shall waive or cause to be waived all limitations as to preexisting conditions or waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to each Continuing Employee under any

34

US-DOCS\137246414.29


employee benefit plans, programs and policies of Buyer or any Affiliate thereof in which Continuing Employees participate (or are eligible to participate) that are “welfare benefit plans” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) to the same extent that such conditions and waiting periods were satisfied or waived under the comparable Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing.  In addition, Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Continuing Employee to be provided with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid under any Benefit Plan during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs for purposes of satisfying any applicable co-payments, deductibles or other out-of-pocket requirements under any such welfare benefit plans of Buyer or any Affiliate in which Continuing Employees participate (or are eligible to participate) on or after the Closing Date for such plan year, subject to the approval of the applicable insurance carrier and Seller or its Affiliate timely providing the information necessary for Buyer to comply with the foregoing.
(g)Service Credit for Continuing Employees.  Buyer shall provide, or cause to be provided, to each Continuing Employee full credit for all service prior to the Closing Date, to the same extent as such service was credited under the comparable Benefit Plan, under all benefit plans of Buyer or its Affiliates for all purposes, including for purposes of eligibility, vesting, benefit accrual and determination of level of benefits.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, such service shall not be recognized to the extent that it results in the duplication of benefits for the same period of service.
(h)401(k) Plan.  Seller shall cause each Continuing Employee to become fully vested as of the Closing Date in the Continuing Employee’s account under any Seller Benefit Plan that contains a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (each, a “Seller 401(k) Plan”), including with respect to any employer contributions to any such plan for the period occurring prior to the Closing Date (which contributions Seller shall cause to be made on or as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date).  Seller and Buyer, and their respective Affiliates, shall cooperate to take any and all actions needed to permit each Continuing Employee with an outstanding loan balance under a Seller 401(k) Plan as of the Closing Date to continue to make scheduled loan payments to such Seller 401(k) Plan after the Closing Date, pending the distribution and in-kind rollover of the notes evidencing such loans from such Seller 401(k) Plan to the Buyer Savings Plan so as to prevent a deemed distribution or loan offset with respect to such outstanding loans.
(i)Third-Party Rights.  The provisions of this Section 6.7 are for the sole benefit of the Parties to this Agreement and nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Business Employee), other than the Parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement.  Nothing contained herein, express or implied: (i) shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement; (ii) shall alter or limit the ability of Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement; or (iii) is intended to confer upon any current or former employee any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment.

35

US-DOCS\137246414.29


(j)Labor Agreements.  Buyer acknowledges receipt of notice of the Labor Agreements set forth on Section 4.11(e) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, which shall continue in effect on and following the Closing Date.  Effective as of the Closing Date, Seller hereby assigns, and Buyer hereby assumes or shall cause the Target Companies to assume and comply with such Labor Agreements.  To the extent of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Section 6.7 and those of a Labor Agreement as it relates to a Continuing Employee whose employment is subject to a Labor Agreement, the provisions of the Labor Agreement shall govern.  Buyer agrees to reasonably cooperate with Seller to effectuate such assignment and assumption of the Labor Agreements on terms reasonably acceptable to Buyer.  In addition, with respect to the Labor Agreements, Buyer and Seller will reasonably cooperate with respect to communications with the applicable unions who are parties to the Labor Agreements regarding transition from the Benefit Plans to Buyer Benefits and otherwise with respect to any bargaining related to the effects of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(k)WARN Act.  Buyer shall be solely responsible for any liability arising under the U.S. Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act or similar state or local Laws (the WARN Act) on or after the Closing Date relating to the Business Employees, including without limitation as a result of Buyer not complying with Section 6.7(a).
Section 6.8Further Actions.
(a)Each Party agrees to (and to cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to) use reasonable best efforts (except where a different efforts standard is specifically contemplated by this Agreement, in which case such different standard shall apply) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as possible, and in any event prior to the Outside Date.
(b)Without limiting the forgoing, the Parties shall (and shall cause their Subsidiaries and Affiliates to) use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Required Consents, and all required Filings and Consents with or from all Governmental Entities, including by (i) preparing and filing (or causing to be prepared or filed) as soon as practicable (and in any event, for the HSR Act, within ten (10) days—or as the Parties may otherwise agree—following the Execution Date) all such Filings and Consents with or from any Governmental Entity or other Person that are required to be filed or obtained in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) assuring that all such Filings comply with the requirements of applicable Laws, (iii) making available to the other Party such information as the other Party may reasonably request in order to complete the Filings or to respond to information requests by any relevant Governmental Entity, (iv) subject to applicable Laws, keeping each other promptly apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including to promptly furnishing the other with copies of written notices or other written communications, filings or correspondence, and promptly furnishing the other with summaries of any oral communications, between the Parties, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, and any Governmental Entity (or members of their respective staffs) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (v) responding appropriately to and complying with, as promptly as practicable, any request for information or

36

US-DOCS\137246414.29


documents regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from any Governmental Entity (including responding to any “second request” for additional information and documentary material under the HSR Act as promptly as practicable, provided that either Party may negotiate with the applicable Governmental Agency with respect to the scope of any “second request” prior to responding), (vi) ensuring the prompt expiration or termination of all applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act and prompt receipt of any other required consents for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from Governmental Entities and (vii) consult and cooperate with one another in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with proceedings with any Governmental Entities under or relating to the HSR Act.  Prior to communicating any information, advocacy or other submission or content (other than correspondence of a de minimis nature) to any Governmental Entity (or members of its staff) in oral or written form, each Party shall permit counsel for the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and provide comments thereon, and consider in good faith the views of the other Party in connection with, any such communication.  Each of Buyer and Seller agrees not to (and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to) participate in any substantive meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone, with any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless it consults with the other Party in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Entity, gives the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate.  Neither Seller nor any of the Target Companies shall take any action with respect to satisfying the HSR Act that would bind the Target Companies and/or the Business after Closing without the prior written consent of Buyer.  Neither Buyer nor Seller shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to), without the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld), (i) “pull-and-refile,” pursuant to 16 C.F.R. § 803.12, any Filing made under the HSR Act or (ii) offer, negotiate or enter into any commitment or agreement, including any timing agreement, with any Governmental Entity to delay the consummation of, or not to close before a certain date, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Subject to the forgoing provisions of this Section 6.8(b), the Parties shall (and shall cause their Subsidiaries and Affiliates to) use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary approvals of parties to Contracts relating to the Business.
(c)For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, take any and all such commercially reasonable action (including (i) agreeing to hold separate or to divest, license or otherwise dispose of any of the businesses, product lines or assets of the Business after the Closing Date, (ii) terminating existing relationships, contractual rights or obligations of the Business after the Closing Date, (iii) creating any relationship, contractual right, obligation or other arrangement of the Business after the Closing Date, (iv) taking or committing to take such other actions that may limit the Business’ freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, one or more of its operations, divisions, businesses, product lines, customer or assets after the Closing Date and (v) entering or offering to enter into agreements and stipulating to the entry of a Governmental Order or filing appropriate applications with any Governmental Entity in connection with any of the actions contemplated by the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv)), in each case, as may be required by any applicable Governmental Entity in order to resolve such objections as such Governmental Entity has to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under applicable Antitrust Laws, in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other

37

US-DOCS\137246414.29


Governmental Order that has the effect of delaying or preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the provisions of this Section 6.8 nor any other provision of this Agreement shall require Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries to undertake (or to request or authorize the Business to undertake) any of the forgoing actions that would, or would reasonably be expected to, individually or taken together with all other of the foregoing actions, result in a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or operation of Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including for this purpose the Business), taken as a whole, with material adverse effect meaning any actions that, judged as a whole, could reasonably be expected to result in a reduction in the fair market value of the Business of more than $43,000,000.00 or a requirement that Buyer divest or not acquire more than one of the Terminals. For the purposes of this Section 6.8, divestures at or below such aforementioned thresholds shall be considered commercially reasonable actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer will not be obligated to take any action that is not conditioned on the Closing.
(d)Each Party shall (i) promptly inform the other Party of any communication made to, or received by such Party from, any Governmental Entity regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) respond appropriately as promptly as practicable to any inquiries or requests for additional information and documentary material received from any Governmental Entity and (iii) not enter into any agreement with any Governmental Entity agreeing not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except with the other Party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld).  In addition, the Parties shall jointly develop, and each of the Parties shall consult and reasonably cooperate with one another and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with the form and content of any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any Party in connection with proceedings under or relating to any Antitrust Law with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement prior to their submission.  If the Parties initially disagree upon any such proposed communication, strategy or process, the Parties agree to work together in good faith to resolve the disagreement and endeavor to implement such communication, strategy or process in a mutually acceptable manner; provided, that, following such good faith efforts by the Parties, Buyer shall have the responsibility for the form and content of any such analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal. Buyer shall be responsible for payment of all filing fees in connection with all Filings under the HSR Act and any other Antitrust Laws in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. As to all other fees and costs, for the avoidance of doubt, each Party shall be responsible for its own fees and costs associated with compliance with the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(e)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, take, or agree or commit to take, any action, including acquiring, or agreeing to acquire, by merging with or into or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in any business or any corporation, partnership, association or other business organization or division thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets, if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to, or the taking of such action or consummation of such acquisition, merger or consolidation, in each case, would reasonably be expected to make the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unlawful or would reasonably be expected to materially delay, or restrain, prevent, enjoin, materially increase the risk of not obtaining any necessary consents of any Governmental

38

US-DOCS\137246414.29


Entity or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, or otherwise prohibit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 6.8(e) shall not prohibit Buyer or its Affiliates from: (i) acquiring, or agreeing to acquire, terminal assets located outside of Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New York, and New Jersey; (ii) entering into throughput agreements, rack purchase agreements or other storage agreements at any third-party owned and operated terminals; or (iii) acquiring retail fuel station and convenience store assets.
(f)Subject to the compliance of the Parties with this Section 6.8, Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall not have any Liability whatsoever to the other Party arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any Consents or make any Filings, or because of the termination of, or default under, any Contract (nor shall any such failure constitute a breach of a representation or warranty hereunder), in each case to the extent such Consents, Filings or Contracts are listed in Section 3.3 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, Section 4.3 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule or Section 5.3 of the Buyer Disclosure Schedule.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, obtaining any Consents shall not be a condition to Closing, except to the extent expressly set forth in Article VII.
Section 6.9Post-Closing Cooperation.
(a)After Closing, upon prior reasonable written request, each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in furnishing records, information, oral or written testimony, oral or written attestations and certifications, and other assistance in connection with transition matters and any inquiries or proceedings involving the Business or the Target Companies (to the extent within Buyer’s powers as an equity holder thereof following the Closing), but excluding any proceedings arising from disputes among the Parties.  Each such requesting Party shall reimburse such cooperating Party for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by such cooperating Party as a result of any such requested cooperation.
(b)Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that, following the Closing, any of Buyer or Seller or any of their respective Affiliates: (i) discovers any asset that was not conveyed to a Target Company prior to the Closing Date that exclusively relates to or is exclusively used or held for use for the conduct of the Business, is held by Seller or any of its Affiliates, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, take all action reasonably necessary to promptly convey such asset to the applicable Target Company to which it relates and such asset shall be considered an asset of the applicable Target Company for all purposes hereunder; and (ii) discovers any asset that was conveyed to a Target Company prior to the Closing Date that exclusively relates to or is exclusively used or held for use for the conduct of Seller’s business other than the Business, is held by a Target Company or any of its Affiliates (including the Target Companies), Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Target Companies), to take all action reasonably necessary to promptly convey such asset to Seller and such asset shall not be considered an asset of Buyer or any Target Company for all purposes hereunder.
Section 6.10Casualty Loss.  If, after the Execution Date but prior to the Closing Date, any portion of the property or assets of the Business is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty or is taken in condemnation or under right of eminent domain (a “Casualty Loss Event”), then Buyer shall nevertheless be required to proceed with the Closing and Seller shall, at the

39

US-DOCS\137246414.29


Closing, remit to Buyer (or its designee) all sums actually paid to Seller by third parties by reason of such Casualty Loss Event with respect to the affected property or assets and shall assign, transfer, and set over to Buyer or Buyer’s designee all of Sellers’ right, title, and interest (if any) in recovery proceeds, unpaid awards, and other rights against third parties (excluding any Liabilities or claims of or against a Buyer Releasee) arising out of such Casualty Loss Event with respect to the affected property or assets; provided, however, that Seller shall reserve and retain (and Buyer shall assign to Seller, if applicable) all rights, titles, interests, and claims against third parties for the recovery of Seller’s (or Seller’s Affiliate’s) costs and expenses incurred in pursuing or asserting any such insurance claims or other rights against third parties or in defending or asserting rights in connection with any Casualty Loss Event.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.10 will limit Section 7.2(c).

Section 6.11R&W Insurance Policy.  In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer shall obtain the R&W Insurance Policy in accordance with this Section 6.11.  The R&W Insurance Policy shall name Buyer, or an Affiliate thereof, as an insured thereof.  The R&W Insurance Policy shall (a) except in the case of Fraud, waive subrogation against Seller and its Affiliates and not increase the liability hereunder of any of any of the foregoing or any of their respective current or former officers, managers, directors, equityholders, employees, Affiliates or agents (the “R&W Parties”) and (b) provide that Seller is a third party beneficiary of such waiver.  Buyer shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to cause the R&W Insurance Policy to be issued by the applicable insurer to Buyer as of the Closing on terms and in the form provided or made available to Seller prior to the Execution Date.  Buyer shall bear all costs of the R&W Insurance Policy and the retention amount of such R&W Insurance Policy and may not amend such policy in a manner adverse to the R&W Parties without Seller’s prior written consent.  From and after the date hereof until the Closing, the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide customary cooperation to Buyer, as Buyer may reasonably request (in each case, to the extent within the control of the Target Companies or the Seller and at Buyer’s sole cost and expense), in order to assist Buyer in obtaining the R&W Insurance Policy.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Seller nor any of its Affiliates nor its and their respective past, present or future equityholders, members, directors, officers, managers, employees or agents shall be entitled to any proceeds from such R&W Insurance Policy without Buyer’s prior written consent.  To the extent required by the R&W Insurance Policy and as requested by Buyer, the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to request that the vendor hosting the virtual data room used by the Parties for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement deliver to Buyer by the later of (a) ten (10) Business Days after the Closing Date or (b) ten (10) Business Days after such request by Buyer a flash drive containing copies of all documents that were uploaded to such virtual data room as of the Closing Date (as applicable).
Section 6.12Replacement of Support Obligations and Related Buyer Covenants.  Buyer acknowledges that none of the Support Obligations are transferable to Buyer.  As such, on or before the Closing Date, Buyer shall obtain, or cause to be obtained, replacements (and releases) for such Support Obligations on terms reasonably acceptable to Buyer.  Without prejudice to the other rights and remedies of Seller hereunder, in the event that any Support Obligation is not so replaced, then, from and after Closing, (a) Buyer shall take all reasonably necessary actions to facilitate the replacement (and release) of such Support Obligation as soon as possible, but in no event later than 180 days following the Closing Date, and (b) Buyer shall indemnify Seller (or

40

US-DOCS\137246414.29


applicable Affiliate) against all amounts incurred by Seller (or applicable Affiliate) under or to maintain such Support Obligation, as applicable, to the extent such amounts arise from and after the Closing.

Section 6.13Director and Officer Indemnification.
(a)From and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of the Target Companies against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any Claim, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing Date, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing, to the fullest extent that the applicable Target Company would have been permitted under applicable Law and its respective Organizational Documents in effect on the Execution Date to indemnify such person (including promptly advancing expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law).  Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall cause each Target Company (i) to maintain for a period of not less than six (6) years from the Closing Date, provisions in its Organizational Documents concerning the indemnification and exculpation (including relating to expense advancement) of such Target Company’s former and current officers, directors, employees, and agents that are no less favorable to those Persons than the provisions of the Organizational Documents of such Target Company, in each case, as of the Closing Date and (ii) not to amend, repeal or otherwise modify such provisions in any respect that would adversely affect the rights of those Persons thereunder, in each case, except as required by Law.  Buyer shall assume, and be jointly and severally liable for, and shall cause each Target Company to honor, each of the covenants in this Section 6.13.
(b)For a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the each Target Company to maintain in effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering those Persons who are currently covered by any Target Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies on terms not less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage; provided, however, that (i) Buyer or the applicable Target Company (following the Closing) may cause coverage to be extended under the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance by obtaining a six (6)-year “tail” policy containing terms not less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing Date and (ii) if any Claim is asserted or made within such six (6)-year period, any insurance required to be maintained under this Section 6.13 shall be continued in respect of such Claim until the final disposition thereof.
(c)Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 6.13 shall survive the Closing indefinitely and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on all successors and assigns of the Company.  In the event that any Target Company or any of their respective successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of such Target Company shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 6.13.

41

US-DOCS\137246414.29


Section 6.14Pre-Closing Reorganization.  At or prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause (and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in causing) the Pre-Closing Reorganization to occur.  It is acknowledged and agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (a) implementation of the Pre-Closing Reorganization by Seller will not give rise to, or constitute, a breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant set forth in this Agreement, (b) Seller shall be permitted to amend the Reorganization Steps Plan (i) if such amendment is determined by Seller to be reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect the transactions contemplated thereby (including to effect such transactions in a tax-efficient manner) and (ii) solely to the extent such amendment would reasonably be expected to be adverse to Buyer, if such amendment is consented to in writing by Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (c) Seller shall be responsible for and bear any and all Taxes (including Transfer Taxes) relating to, resulting from or imposed on with respect to the Pre-Closing Reorganization. Buyer shall have the right to review the documentation that effects the Pre-Closing Reorganization, and such documentation shall be reasonably acceptable to Buyer.
Section 6.15Seller Marks.  As soon as practicable following the Closing, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Closing, Buyer shall, and shall cause the applicable Target Companies to, cease and permanently discontinue any and all uses of the Seller Marks and any colorable imitations thereof, and remove or cover all Seller Marks from, or destroy, any publications, signage, corporate letterhead, invoices, stationery, business cards, marketing materials, website content or other materials or things in the applicable Target Companies’ possession or under the applicable Target Companies’ control bearing any of the Seller Marks, and provide Seller with written certification thereof by an authorized officer of Buyer.  Without limiting any of the obligations in the immediately preceding sentence, in no event shall Buyer or any of its Affiliates use any of the Seller Marks after the Closing in any manner or for any purpose different from the use of such Seller Marks by the applicable Target Company preceding the Closing, and neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall affix any of the Seller Marks or any colorable imitations thereof on any publications, signage, corporate letterhead, invoices, stationery, business cards, marketing materials, website content or other materials or things that are created or produced after the Closing.  Buyer expressly acknowledges and confirms that Buyer shall not receive any right, title or interest in or to the Seller Marks, except the limited right to use Seller Marks as provided above for the sole purpose of permitting Buyer to complete the phase out of such use in strict compliance with this Section 6.15, and that any use of the Seller Marks after the sixty (60) day period specified above (including failure to remove or cover any prior application or depiction or any new application, depiction or use of such Seller Marks) shall constitute a violation of applicable Law, including as codified at 15 U.S.C. 1114 et seq.
Section 6.16Connecticut Transfer Act/New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act.  Buyer shall be solely responsible for all compliance obligations and related costs arising under the Connecticut Transfer Act, Conn.  Gen.  Stat. § 22a-134 et seq., and the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act, N.J.S.A. § 13:1K-6, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to the extent applicable.  Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer in respect of any filings required in relation to the foregoing.  This provision shall survive Closing.
Section 6.17Cooperation.  During the Interim Period, Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such assistance (and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives to provide such assistance), at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, with Buyer’s

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.19(b) to the contrary, any amounts expended by Seller pursuant to Section 6.19(a) in connection with the Specified Litigation Matters shall not be deducted from the Benzene Indemnity Cap.  During the Indemnity Period, Seller shall either maintain a minimum net worth equal to or greater than the outstanding Environmental Indemnity Cap amount or otherwise provide financial assurances mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer in an amount equal to the outstanding Environmental Indemnity Cap amount; provided that, in the event Seller is unable to maintain a minimum net worth equal to or greater than the outstanding Environmental Indemnity Cap amount, any Affiliate of Seller which satisfies such net worth requirement may assume Seller’s obligations pursuant to this Section 6.19(b).
