Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall take, or cause to be taken, such commercially reasonable actions related to or involving the Business required by any Governmental Authority as a condition to the granting of any Authorization necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Other Agreements, or as may be required to avoid, lift, vacate or reverse any legislative, administrative or judicial action that would otherwise cause any closing condition not to be satisfied; provided that Buyer will not be required to place any restrictions or accept any burden, cost, risk or liability on Buyer, its Affiliates, the Business, the Company, or Buyer’s and Buyer’s Affiliates pre-existing business, and none of Buyer, Buyer’s Affiliates or the Company shall be required to dispose of any of their respective assets.

Buyer’s efforts in this regard shall include, if necessary, causing the Buyer Guarantor to guarantee the obligations of the Company under the affected Authorizations or Material Contracts assigned or transferred from Seller or any of its Affiliates to Company, and to secure the release of Seller and its Affiliates from any guarantees of the Company’s post-Closing obligations under any Authorizations or Material Contracts or posting a letter of credit, performance bond or other form of credit support to replace any similar form of credit support provided by Seller or any of its Affiliates prior to Closing. Seller and its Affiliates shall have the right to cancel or revoke, effective as of the Closing Date, all guarantees, bonds, letters of credit and similar undertakings provided by them or on their behalf to secure any post-Closing obligations of Company, provided that Seller will not do so without notifying Buyer and allowing Buyer the reasonable opportunity to provide the counterparty a guarantee, bond, letters of credit or similar undertaking on substantially similar terms to those provided by Seller or its Affiliates, or to otherwise take steps adequate to either secure Seller’s release or protect Seller from Claims by the parties in whose favor such guarantees or other credit support obligations run. Buyer shall indemnify the Seller Indemnitees in accordance with Section 12.3 for any Losses the Seller Indemnitees suffer or incur and which they would not have suffered or incurred but for Buyer’s failure or inability to secure any of the releases required under this paragraph. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive Closing.

Buyer shall ensure that each Diligence Representative complies with all safety and similar requirements customarily imposed by the Company on its properties. Before and after the Closing, BUYER SHALL ASSUME AND INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS THE SELLER INDEMNITEES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS FOR PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF BUYER’S OR ANY DILIGENCE REPRESENTATIVE’S ENTRY UPON OR ACCESS TO THE REFINERY AND ANY OTHER PHYSICAL ASSETS AND ALL LOSSES INCURRED BY THE SELLER INDEMNITEES WITH RESPECT TO EACH SUCH CLAIM, IN EACH CASE REGARDLESS OF THE NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER FAULT (OTHER THAN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE SELLER INDEMNITEES OR ANY EMPLOYEE OF ANY SUCH PERSON) OF THE SELLER INDEMNITEES OR ANY

Section 6.7 Supplement to Disclosure Schedules. Seller may from time to time prior to the Closing, by written notice to Buyer, supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedules to correct any matter that would constitute a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller in Article III or Article IV. For purposes of determining whether Buyer’s conditions set forth in Section 9.3 have been fulfilled, the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to include only that information contained therein on the Execution Date and shall be deemed to exclude all

 

42


information contained in any supplement or amendment thereto. If Buyer is not obligated to close but shall elect to close and the Closing shall occur, then any matters disclosed to Buyer pursuant to any supplement or amendment after the Execution Date and prior to the Closing shall be deemed to be waived by Buyer, and Buyer shall not be entitled to make a Claim thereon under this Agreement (including pursuant to Article XII) or otherwise. If, however, Buyer is obligated to close and the Closing shall occur, then any matter disclosed to Buyer pursuant to any supplement or amendment provided by Seller after the Execution Date and prior to the Closing shall not be deemed to be waived by Buyer, and Buyer shall be entitled to make a Claim thereon under this Agreement (including pursuant to Article XII) or otherwise. Further, if Buyers obtain Knowledge of any matter hereunder prior to the Closing and the Closing shall occur, any waiver or non-waiver of any related Claim will be handled in the same manner as such matters are handled with respect to any supplement or amendment to Seller Disclosure Schedule (e.g., they will be waived only if Buyer is not obligated (but elect) to close).

Section 6.8 Electricity.

(a) The Company obtains electric supply for the Refinery from an Affiliate, Valero Power Marketing, LLC (“VPM”), and VPM has been authorized by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (“BPU”) to be an Electric Supplier in New Jersey.

(b) The Company was a party to a Power Purchase Agreement with Atlantic City Electric Company (AECO), effective as of August 1, 2003, as amended (the “2003 PPA”), and an Interim Interconnection Agreement, of even date therewith, as amended (the “IIA”). Pursuant to the 2003 PPA, the Company could sell excess energy produced by the generation facilities at the Refinery, if any, exclusively to AECO. The 2003 PPA expired by its own terms on August 5, 2010 and AECO was not interested in renewing or extending the PPA. AECO has also requested that the Company replace the IIA with a new interconnection agreement. Accordingly, the Company is currently in the process of executing a new IIA with PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (“PJM”) and AECO which will supersede and replace the IIA and enable the Company to participate in the PJM energy market once the Company obtains the necessary FERC approvals to make wholesale sales directly in PJM’s energy market or to third parties into the PJM energy markets. As of the Execution Date, the Company has not sold any energy or capacity into the PJM market and the Company is not currently authorized to do so.

(c) Buyer has caused its Affiliate, PBF Power Marketing LLC (“PBFPM”), to file with the BPU to become an Electric Supplier in New Jersey and a designated third party Electric Supplier with AECO. As this process may take several months, the Seller, through its Affiliate VPM, will for a period of six (6) months following the Closing Date continue to act as the electric supplier to the Company for electric purchases pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Transition Services Agreement. Seller, through VPM will charge the Company a flat monthly fee for electricity plus the APN charge, all as set forth in the Transition Services Agreement.

Section 6.9 FCC Repair Credit.

(a) The Parties hereby acknowledge that the FCC is in need of certain repairs and/or modifications which the Seller has represented to Buyer are determined to cost $61,500,000 (assuming such repairs are addressed during the scheduled April 2011 turnaround) plus $17,000,000 in lost margin for a total established cost of $78,500,000.00 (the “FCC Repair Cost”). At Closing, Seller and Buyer agree to deduct from the Purchase Price the sum of $36,301,000 (which represents 50% of the FCC Repair Cost, less the sum of $2,949,000, which has already been spent by Seller or its Affiliates in the procurement of materials, engineering and planning, and/or repairs related to the FCC prior to the Execution Date), less additional third party expenses such as engineering costs, material procurement and repair costs which have been or will be incurred by Seller or the Company prior to Closing for the purpose of making repairs to the FCC which are within the scope of the April 2011 turnaround or which reduce the repairs within the scope of the April 2011 turnaround, or in preparing the FCC for its scheduled April 2011 turnaround (the “FCC Purchase Price Reduction”). Buyer acknowledges and agrees that to the extent Seller incurs additional costs as a result of a change in the scope of work or materials used in connection with the repairs and/or modifications to the FCC or in the timing of such repairs and/or modifications to the FCC at the request of Buyer, all such additional costs and expenses shall be included as FCC Additional Repair Costs.

(b) On or before five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, Seller will provide Buyer with a statement (the “FCC Repair Statement”) which sets forth the amount of third party expenses such as engineering costs, material procurement and repair costs incurred with respect to the FCC following the Execution Date, together with reasonable supporting calculations and information. Seller shall give and shall cause the Company to give Buyer and its advisors reasonable access to the books and records for the purpose of verifying the costs of material purchases and repairs to the FCC following the Execution Date. Unless Buyer gives notice to Seller on or before three (3) days prior to the Closing Date that Buyer disputes the costs of material purchases and repairs to the FCC specified in the FCC Repair Statement, the costs of such material purchases and repairs made to the FCC following the Execution Date (the “FCC Additional Repair Costs”) as reflected on the FCC Repair Statement shall be included in the FCC Purchase Price Reduction. If Buyer gives notice to Seller within three (3) days prior to the Closing Date that it disputes the FCC Additional Repair Costs, Seller and Buyer shall consult in good faith and use all reasonable efforts to agree upon the calculation of the FCC Additional Repair Costs. If on or before the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer have not agreed on the FCC Additional Repair Costs, the sum of $36,850,000 less that portion of the FCC Additional Repair Costs which are not in dispute shall be deducted from the Purchase Price at Closing and either Seller or Buyer shall have the right to submit such matters as remain in dispute to Baker & O’Brien (which Seller and Buyer each represent and warrant are independent of such party), or such other accounting firm as Seller and Buyer shall mutually agree, for final resolution, which resolution shall be provided within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date and shall be binding upon Seller and Buyer, and judgment upon which may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is sought to be enforced. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm for its services in resolving such dispute shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer.

(c) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation or liability, and Buyer hereby releases Seller from any such obligation or liability: (i) to make any material purchases or repairs to the FCC subject to Section 6.1(b), hereof. (ii) to correct any design or other defects in the FCC; (iii) with respect to the use or condition of the FCC, including without limitation any repairs or maintenances made by Seller

 

44


or its Affiliates to the FCC prior to the Closing Date, or (iv) for any additional expenses or costs for materials or repairs to the FCC, other than the FCC Purchase Price Reduction. Without limiting the disclaimer in Section 6.5 and Section 6.6 hereof, Buyer shall be solely responsible for making all necessary repairs to and correcting any defects in the FCC, and at Closing accepts the FCC in its “AS IS” “WHERE IS” “WITH ALL FAULTS” condition. Neither Seller nor any Affiliate of Seller makes any representation, warranty or covenant that the FCC Repair Costs will be sufficient to make all necessary repairs or modifications to the FCC or correct any defects, including design defects in the FCC. The provisions of this Section 6.9 shall survive Closing.

Section 6.10 Assignment of Exxon Lubes Agreement and [REDACTED]. Prior to Closing, Seller shall have the right to cause VMSC to assign and transfer to the Company the following Seller Contracts: (i) the Purchase and Sale Agreement for Lubricant Base Oils dated September 16, 1998, between ExxonMobil Oil Corporation (as successor to Mobil Oil Corporation) and VMSC, as amended (the “Lubes Agreement”), and (ii) [REDACTED]

Section 6.11 Conversion of Company to LLC. Prior to or at the time of Closing, Seller shall convert the Company from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company authorized to do business in each of the jurisdictions the Company is authorized to do business as of the Execution Date. Seller shall provide copies to Buyer of any documents to be filed or submitted prior to Closing to effectuate such conversion. Buyer acknowledges that Seller is converting the Company’s form prior to or at the time of Closing as an accommodation to Buyer and neither Seller nor any Affiliate of Seller shall be liable or responsible for any Claims, Losses, liabilities or obligations arising out of or resulting from such conversion unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller. Buyer hereby assumes and shall be responsible for, and pay and discharge any and all Claims, Losses, liabilities and obligations arising out of, resulting from or with respect to the conversion of the Company from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller. To the extent any Authorization or Third Person Consent is necessary as a result of the conversion; Buyer shall be responsible for obtaining such Authorization and Third Person Consent and paying for any costs or expenses to secure any such Authorization or Third Person Consent. Buyer shall indemnify the Seller Indemnitees in accordance with Section 12.3 against any Claims or Losses they may suffer as a result of the conversion of the Company from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller. Seller acknowledges that after Closing, Buyer intends to change the name of Company to “Paulsboro Refining Company LLC.”

Section 6.12 Allocation of Saudi Crude. [REDACTED].

ARTICLE VII

TITLE MATTERS

Section 7.1 Title Commitment. Seller shall endeavor to cause the Title Company to issue, within twenty (20) days after the Effective Date one or more commitments (the “Title Commitments”) for the Title Policy to be issued by the Title Company with respect to each parcel of Real Property owned in fee simple by the Company and comprising any portion of the Refinery held by the Company.

Section 7.2 Cost of Title Policy. Seller shall pay for the basic premium for coverage under the Title Policy in amount of $125,000,000. Buyer shall pay for any endorsements or extended coverages it may desire on the Title Policy, as well as for any basic coverage in excess of the amount Seller is required to provide under the immediately preceding sentence. Buyer shall also pay for a mortgagee’s policy to insure the mortgage provided to Seller pursuant to the Loan.

Section 7.3 Survey. Seller shall not be obligated to provide any new or updated surveys of any of the Real Property, and neither Buyer’s or any of its lenders’ receipt of any such surveys shall constitute a condition to Closing or form the basis for delaying Closing; however, Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer prior to Closing to permit Buyer to attempt to procure any surveys of the Real Property that Buyer reasonably deems necessary, all at Buyer’s sole risk, cost and expense.

ARTICLE VIII

POST-CLOSING COVENANTS

Section 8.1 Employee Matters. Buyer and Seller agree to the provisions set forth in Exhibit J attached hereto.

Section 8.2 Insurance.

(a) Seller and Buyer acknowledge that Seller participates in a program of property and liability insurance coverage for itself and its Affiliates. This program has been designed to achieve a coordinated risk-management package for Seller and all of its Affiliates. The program consists of various types of policies including: (a) policies under which Seller or Affiliates (including the Company) or their predecessors are insured; (b) policies issued directly to Affiliates by one of Valero’s wholly-owned insurance companies (“Seller Captive Insurers”); (c) policies issued to Affiliates by one of the Seller Captive Insurers that may or may not be reinsured by third party insurers; and (d) policies issued under a fronting arrangement policy (or its equivalent) by third party insurers that may or may not be reinsured (including through a guarantee, indemnity, letter of credit or similar undertaking) by Valero or its Affiliates. All of the insurance policies through which the program of coverage is presently or has previously been provided by or to Seller, its predecessors or Affiliates (including the Company) are herein referred to collectively as the “Seller Policies.” Nothing in this Section 8.2 shall affect any insurance provided to the Company by third parties (e.g., contractors) that are not part of the Seller Policies. It is understood and agreed by Buyer that from and after the Closing:

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

 

46


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

(iii) Without limiting Seller’s and its Affiliates’ (other than the Company) recourse against the Seller Policies in connection with Claims related to Retained Liabilities, the Excluded Assets or any other matter for which Seller has indemnified the Buyer Indemnitees hereunder, no Claims regarding any matter whatsoever, whether or not arising from events occurring prior to the Closing, shall be made by Buyer or the Company against or with respect to any of the Seller Policies, regardless of their date of issuance.

(b) Certain contractors who perform work at the Refinery participate in an Owner Controlled Insurance Program (“OCIP”) pursuant to which employees of such contractors are covered by workers compensation insurance provided through Valero, rather than the contractor’s own workers compensation program. The Company’s work agreements and similar contracts with these contractors typically provide for the Company to receive a discount off the contractor’s rates when the contractor is enrolled in the OCIP. Neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to continue to provide OCIP to any Refinery contractors after Closing, and it is Seller’s intention to terminate the OCIP participation of all contractors working at the Refinery effective as of or prior to Closing, provided however, such termination shall not effect coverage for contractors or employees of contractors for periods prior to the termination of the OCIP participation. Seller shall provide notice prior to Closing to all OCIP participants of the pending termination of the program. Such termination will trigger the higher non-OCIP rates under the affected contractors’ work agreements and other contracts with the Company.

Section 8.3 Specified Litigation and Retained Litigation. With respect to any Retained Litigation the outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Company, or Buyer (“Specified Litigation”), Seller will respond in good faith to Buyer’s reasonable requests for information or consultation with respect thereto. Seller will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any Specified Litigation without the prior written consent of Buyer (not to be unreasonably withheld) if the judgment or proposed settlement would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Company, or Buyer; provided, however, that Seller may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any Specified Litigation without Buyer’s consent if the sole relief provided in any such entry of judgment or settlement is monetary damages that are paid in full by Seller. Buyer specifically recognizes the obligations imposed by modern discovery practice, including preservation, collection, review, and production of documents and evidence, including those in electronic, paper, and other form. After Closing, Buyer and the Company will comply with Seller’s reasonable requests to preserve, access, collect, inspect, or review documents and evidence potentially relevant to any Retained Litigation, Claims related to Excluded Assets or other matters for which Seller has indemnified the Buyer Indemnitees hereunder, and will make personnel and the Refinery reasonably available

 

47


to the extent required in connection with any such matters. If Buyer’s or Company’s breach of the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence materially prejudices Seller’s position with respect to any Retained Litigation, Seller’s remedies therefor will include the transfer of liability for such Retained Litigation to Buyer.

Section 8.4 Tax Matters

(a) In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the day before the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes (other than property taxes and franchise taxes) of the Company for the portion of the Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the closing of business on the day before the Closing Date, and the amount of property taxes and franchise taxes of the Company for the portion of the Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such tax for the entire taxable period, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the day before the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any franchise tax paid or payable with respect to the Company shall be allocated to the taxable period during which the income, operations, assets or capital comprising the base of such tax is measured, regardless of whether the right to do business for another taxable period is obtained by the payment of such franchise tax.

(b) For the Pre-Closing Tax Period, Seller shall prepare and file separate state and local Tax Returns for the Company in jurisdictions requiring separate reporting from the Company and shall cause the income (loss) of the Company to be included in such Tax Returns in accordance with the relevant Tax Law, and Seller or Seller’s Affiliate shall cause the income (loss) of the Company to be included in the consolidated federal income Tax Return or combined or consolidated state and local Tax Returns in which it is a member in accordance with the relevant Tax Law. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared at the expense of Seller and filed in a manner consistent with prior practice, except as required by a change in Tax Law or the interpretation of substantial authority previously relied upon by Seller, or as required under any audit settlement or other settlement previously entered into between the Company or any of its Affiliates and a Taxing Authority. Buyer shall cause the Company to file separate Tax Returns, or shall include the Company in its combined or consolidated income Tax Returns, and shall include the income (loss) of the Company in such Tax Returns attributable to the remaining time in the Straddle Period following the Pre-Closing Tax Period, in accordance with the relevant Tax Law. In addition, Buyer shall be responsible for filing Tax Returns for the Straddle Period in any jurisdictions that do not allow a “closing of the books” method for determining a taxable period, and shall prepare such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with past practices of the Company. Buyer shall provide Seller a copy of all Straddle Period Tax Returns (or, if appropriate, pro forma copies of such Tax Returns) no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the due date thereof for Seller’s review and comments, which comments shall be accepted if reasonable.

(c) Seller shall assume and be liable for, and shall pay to the relevant Taxing Authority when due, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees from and against, all Taxes of the Company to the extent relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period and all Taxes of any member of a Relevant Group; provided that, as a convenience to Seller, if the

 

48


Company is required under the relevant Tax Law to pay such Taxes directly to the relevant Taxing Authority, Seller shall pay an amount equal to such Taxes directly to the Company not less than five (5) days before such Taxes are due, and Buyer shall cause the Company to pay such Taxes on a timely basis. If Seller is required to file any Tax Returns for the Company relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, Buyer agrees to provide or cause the Company to provide to Seller (or directly to the relevant Taxing Authority, if required) any Taxes relating to the remaining time in the Straddle Period following the Pre-Closing Tax Period, and all information necessary for Seller to file such Tax Returns within five (5) days prior to the date such Tax Returns are due to the relevant Taxing Authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) any estimated property taxes with respect to the Assets or the Company with respect to the portion of the Straddle Period relating to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be included in Current Liabilities and reflected in the calculation of Net Working Capital, and Buyer shall cause the Company to pay, and shall be liable and responsible for the payment of, such property taxes to the relevant Taxing Authority, (B) if the actual amount of such property taxes for the period identified in (A) above is determined to be greater than the amount included in Current Liabilities and reflected in the calculation of Net Working Capital, Seller shall be liable and responsible for the amount of such deficiency, and (C) if the actual amount of such property taxes is determined to be less than the amount included in Current Liabilities and reflected in the calculation of Net Working Capital, Buyer shall be liable and responsible for causing the Company to return to Seller the amount of such excess. Buyer shall be liable for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees from and against, any Taxes imposed on or incurred by the Company or any of its Affiliates attributable to any taxable period beginning on or after the Closing Date, and the portion, determined as described in Section 8.4(a), of the Straddle Period beginning on the Closing Date.

(d) Each of Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand (the “Tax Indemnified Person”), shall notify the chief tax officer (or other appropriate person) of Seller or Buyer, as the case may be (the “Tax Indemnifying Person”), in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt by the Tax Indemnified Person of written notice of any pending or threatened audits, adjustments, claims, examinations, assessments or other proceedings (a “Tax Audit”) which are likely to affect the liability for Taxes of such other party. If the Tax Indemnified Person fails to give such timely notice to the other party or fails to timely provide any records or information it is required to provide pursuant to Section 8.4(g), it shall not be entitled to indemnification for any Taxes arising in connection with such Tax Audit if such failure to give notice or provide records or information adversely affects the other party’s right to participate in the Tax Audit.

If such Tax Audit relates to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or for any Taxes for which only Seller would be liable to indemnify Buyer under this Agreement, Seller shall have the option, at its expense, to control the defense and settlement of such Tax Audit, and in such event Buyer shall provide Seller with appropriate tax powers of attorney. If such Tax Audit relates to any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date or for any Taxes for which only Buyer would be liable under this Agreement, Buyer shall, at its expense, control the defense and settlement of such Tax Audit to the extent that such Tax Audit relates to Taxes for which Buyer or the Company is liable.

 

49


If such Tax Audit relates to Taxes for which both Seller and Buyer could be liable under this Agreement, to the extent practicable, such Tax items will be distinguished and each party will have the option to control the defense and settlement of those Taxes for which it is so liable. If such Tax Audit relates to a taxable period beginning on or before and ending after the Closing Date and any Tax item cannot be identified as being a liability of only one party or cannot be separated from a Tax item for which the other party is liable, Seller, at its expense, shall have the option to control the defense and settlement of the Tax Audit, provided that such party defends the items as reported on the relevant Tax Return and provided further that no such matter shall be settled without the written consent of both Buyer and Seller, not to be unreasonably withheld, except with respect to (i) any of the matters set forth in Section 8.4(d) of the Disclosure Schedules and (ii) matters involving accelerated depreciation claimed by the Company or Seller for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, with respect to which Seller shall have sole control of the defense and settlement without the need to obtain the consent of Buyer.

Except with respect to any of the matters set forth in Section 8.4(d) of the Disclosure Schedules and matters involving accelerated depreciation claimed by the Company or Seller for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, with respect to which Seller shall have sole control of the defense and settlement, any party whose liability for Taxes may be affected by a Tax Audit shall be entitled to participate at its expense in such defense and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense and shall have the right to consent to any settlement of such Tax Audit (not to be unreasonably withheld) to the extent that such settlement would have an adverse effect with respect to a period for which that party is liable for Taxes, under this Agreement or otherwise.

(e) Buyer shall not and shall not permit its Affiliates, including the Company, to take any action on or after the Closing Date which could increase any Seller’s liability for Taxes (including any liability of Seller to indemnify Buyer for Taxes under this Agreement) provided, however, that this Section 8.4(e) shall not apply to any such action to which Seller has consented in writing (which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Seller).

(f) Buyer agrees to pay to Seller any refund received (whether by payment, credit, offset or otherwise, and together with any interest thereon) after the Closing by Buyer or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries, including the Company, in respect of any Taxes for which Seller is liable or required to indemnify Buyer. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller and Seller’s Affiliates, at Seller’s expense, in order to take all necessary steps to claim any such refund. Any such refund received by Buyer or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries or the Company shall be paid to Seller within thirty (30) days after such refund is received. Buyer agrees to notify Seller within ten (10) days following the discovery of a right to claim any such refund and upon receipt of any such refund. Buyer agrees to claim any such refund as soon as possible after the discovery of a right to claim a refund and to furnish to Seller, at Seller’s expense, all information, records and assistance reasonably necessary to verify the amount of the refund or overpayment.

(g) Buyer and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 8.4 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Seller agrees, and Buyer agrees to cause the Company (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertaining to the

 

50


Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer or Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, on receipt of such notice, if the other party so requests, Seller shall, or Buyer shall cause the Company to, allow the other party to take possession of such books and records. Buyer and Seller further agree, upon request, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby). Buyer and Seller further agree upon request, to provide the other party with all information that either party may be required to report pursuant to Code Section 6043 and all Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(h) All tax-sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

(i) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the sale of the Shares shall be paid by Buyer when due, and Buyer will file all necessary Tax Returns and other documents with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and, if required by Law, Seller will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(j) Buyer and Seller agree that indemnification payments made under this Agreement, including any payment under this Section 8.4 shall be treated as Purchase Price adjustments for Tax purposes. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Section 8.4 and any other provision of this Agreement, this Section 8.4 shall control.

Section 8.5 Rail Cars.

(a) Seller agrees to transfer or cause its Affiliates to transfer to the Company the number and types of railcars listed in Section 8.5 of the Disclosure Schedules, which represents the approximate number of such railcars currently used in connection with the normal operation of the Assets and the Business. These railcars are leased by Affiliates of the Company pursuant to various rail car leases and agreements with respect thereto (“Rail Car Agreements”).

(b) Beginning promptly after Closing, Seller’s Transportation group will coordinate with a Company representative designated by Buyer to schedule railcars from Seller’s or its Affiliates’ fleet into the Refinery as needed in the ordinary course of business, and as such cars come into the Refinery they will be identified as railcars to be assigned to the Company (“Qualifying Rail Cars”), until such time as all Qualifying Rail Cars have been identified. Only railcars that in serviceable condition when they arrive at the Refinery will be used as Qualifying Rail Cars. As Qualifying Rail Cars are identified, Seller or its appropriate Affiliate and Buyer shall deliver to the counterparty of each Rail Car Agreement covering such Qualifying Rail Cars a letter: (i) requesting the release of such Qualifying Rail Cars under the applicable Rail Car Agreement, and (ii) the further lease by such counterparty to the Company of such Qualifying Rail Cars. Once a Qualifying Rail Car becomes fully assigned to the Company, it will become a “Company Rail Car”.

 

51


(c) Until such time as the parties complete the paperwork and secure the necessary counterparty consents to complete the assignment of the Qualifying Rail Cars to the Company, Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, allow the Company to use the Qualifying Rail Cars on a temporary subleased basis (the “Loaned Cars”) such that, at any time, the total number and types of Company Rail Cars and Loaned Cars equals the number and types identified as Qualifying Rail Cars. Buyer shall cause the Company to reimburse Seller for all lease payments and other associated costs, payments or fees (including repair and maintenance costs) arising under the applicable Rail Car Agreements with respect to the use by the Company of the related Loaned Cars. Buyer may elect to discontinue the use of any Loaned Car by written notice to Seller, in which case, upon return of such Loaned Car to Seller, Buyer shall no longer be responsible for any payments, costs or fees related thereto, and Seller shall not be responsible for providing a replacement Loaned Car. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller may substitute other equivalent rail cars for Loaned Cars, so long as the substituted rail cars meet the criteria to be Qualifying Rail Cars. The parties hereto agree to (or to cause their applicable Affiliates to) work together in a commercially reasonable manner to manage the transition of the Loaned Cars hereunder.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller’s sole obligations under this Agreement with respect to Third Person Consents necessary for the assignment to the Company of the Qualifying Rail Cars shall be the delivery by Seller to the counterparties thereto of the letters described in Section 8.5(b) above and Seller’s joinder in the execution of any documentation reasonably and customarily required by the counterparties to effectuate or otherwise document such assignments. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges that Seller shall not be required to provide any guarantees or other credit enhancement that may be necessary in order for Buyer to secure its own railcar leases. Buyer shall be obligated to negotiate with the lessors of such Rail Car Agreements or Qualifying Rail Cars in a commercially reasonable manner in an effort to enter into leases covering the Qualifying Rail Cars as soon as possible following Closing. Buyer and Seller shall cooperatively endeavor to complete the assignment of all Qualifying Rail Cars (including any substitutes therefor made in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.5(b) as promptly as reasonably possible after Closing, but in all events within twelve (12) months after Closing. Seller shall not be obligated to provide any Loaned Cars more than twelve (12) months following Closing, unless and only to the extent that Buyer’s failure to complete the assignment of all Qualifying Railcars (and substitutes therefor, as applicable) is the result of Seller’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Section 8.5.

(e) Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees against any and all Claims and Losses arising from the use or misuse after the Closing by Buyer or its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) of the Loaned Cars pursuant to this Section 8.5.

 

52


Section 8.6 Third Person Consents Not Obtained at or Before Closing

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

(b) If any such Third Person Consent or Authorization is not obtained prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall, to the extent not prohibited by the terms of any applicable Seller Contract or Law or Environmental Law, and until the receipt of such Third Person Consent or Authorization, hold the Seller Contract, subject to such Third Person Consent or Authorization, together with any proceeds therefrom, in trust for the Company, and Seller and the Company shall cooperate (each at its own expense) in any mutually acceptable, lawful and reasonable arrangement under which the Company shall obtain, to the extent practicable, the economic rights and benefits under such Seller Contract with respect to which the Third Person Consent or Authorization has not been obtained in accordance with this Agreement. Such reasonable arrangement may include the entering into of a subcontract, sublicense, sublease or other similar arrangement between Seller and the Company. During the period from Closing until such Third Person Consent or Authorization is obtained, Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce such Seller Contracts for the benefit of the Company, on the condition that the Company shall bear all costs and expenses (including legal expenses) related to such enforcement. If the Company is able to receive the economic rights and benefits under such Seller Contract, such economic rights and benefits shall constitute an Asset, and the liabilities and obligations, if any, related to such economic rights and benefits under such Asset shall constitute liabilities and obligations of the Company, as applicable. Seller’s obligations under this Section 8.6(b) shall expire as of the second anniversary of the Closing Date.

(c) This Section 8.6 shall not apply to any Third Person Consents or Authorizations related to rail cars, which are covered by Section 8.6.

Section 8.7 Multi-Site Contracts. The Company is a party to certain contracts to which other Seller Affiliates are also parties, and which pertain to various other refineries and facilities owned by Seller and its Affiliates in addition to the Refinery (each, a “Multi-Site Contract” and collectively, the “Multi-Site Contracts”). Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer shall not be entitled to become a party thereto after Closing, and it is Seller’s intention to terminate all Multi-Site Contracts effective as of Closing. Notwithstanding such termination, the

 

53


Company shall be obligated to honor any work releases, purchase commitments or other similar commitments made by it under any Multi-Site Contracts prior to Closing, but not yet fully performed or satisfied as of Closing, so long as such commitments were not made in violation of Seller’s obligations under Section 6.1. To the extent a Multi-Site Contract by its terms is not terminable as to the Company, Buyer covenants and agrees to (i) negotiate diligently and in good faith with the counterparty(ies) to such Multi-Site Contract in an effort to enter into a new agreement between such counterparty(ies) and the Company as promptly as possible following Closing, and (ii) until such new agreement becomes effective, honor the terms of the Multi-Site Contract and not make any elective purchases or other elective commitments thereunder. Buyer acknowledges that the terms and conditions of Multi-Site Contracts that relate to other facilities of Seller and its Affiliates other than the Refinery (including rate sheets and other commercial terms and conditions covering such other facilities) are confidential and proprietary information of Seller and its Affiliates, and Buyer shall destroy any such information it may inadvertently obtain, and shall not use such information for any purpose. Without limiting any of Buyer’s other indemnification obligations under this Agreement, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees against any and all Claims and Losses arising out of Buyer’s breach or utilization of any Multi-Site Contract after Closing. This Section 8.7(a) shall not apply to any Third Person Consents or Authorizations related to rail cars, which are covered by Section 8.5.

Section 8.8 Owned and Leased Vehicles. Section 8.8 of the Disclosure Schedules contains a list of all vehicles currently owned by Seller and its Affiliates and used at the Refinery (“Owned Vehicles”) and all vehicles currently leased by Seller under fleet leases and used at the Refinery (“Leased Vehicles”). Prior to Closing, Seller shall prepare and file the necessary paperwork to transfer title to all Owned Vehicles to Company, with all transfer taxes, fees and other costs and expenses associated with such title transfers to be borne by Seller. In addition, Seller shall buy the Leased Vehicles out of their current leases and prepare and file the necessary paperwork to transfer title to such Vehicles to Company, with all costs and expenses associated therewith to be borne by Seller, including all buyout payments and title transfer taxes and fees.

Section 8.9 Foreign Trade Zone. Mobil Oil Corporation and the South Jersey Port Corporation (the “Port Authority”) are parties to a Grantee - Subzone Operator Agreement (the “Operator Agreement”) dated December 12, 1995, under which the Company (without an express assignment of the Operator Agreement from Mobil, but as a successor to Mobil Oil Corporation with respect to the Refinery) has operated the Refinery as Foreign-Trade Zone Subzone No. 142 (the “FTZ”). The FTZ is operating under a grant of authority from the Foreign-Trade Zones Board of the Department of Commerce (“FTZ Board”), and has been activated with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (previously the U.S. Customs Service) (“Customs”). Before the Closing, Buyer shall notify Seller whether Buyer intends to continue operating the Refinery as a Foreign-Trade Zone. In the event Buyer intends to continue operating the Refinery as a Foreign-Trade Zone, Buyer shall promptly after Closing (i) notify the FTZ Board and Customs that a change in control of Company has occurred, (ii) obtain new Customs foreign-trade zone operator’s and importer’s bonds (and Customs duty drawback bond should Buyer so desire), and (iii) apply to Customs for reactivation of the FTZ under new ownership according to the requirements of 19 C.F.R. Part 146. Except to the extent that Seller or an Affiliate of Seller may be obligated to provide services related to the FTZ under the Transition Services Agreement, from and after Closing, Buyer shall be solely responsible for

 

54


operating the FTZ and complying with all Laws related thereto, including all reporting and filing obligations, rules and regulations of the FTZ Board and Customs associated therewith. In connection therewith, and without limitation of the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges that it will need to obtain its own software for managing the FTZ, or will need to engage a consultant or contractor with appropriate software, since the software currently used to manage the FTZ is licensed to an affiliate of Seller and is used in connection with the operation of other refineries in addition to the Refinery.

Section 8.10 Special Covenants Related to the Valero Acquisition Guaranty. Without limiting Buyer’s obligations under Section 6.2(f), until such time as that certain Guaranty issued by Valero on September 16, 1998 in favor of Mobil Oil Corporation and the Mobil Affiliates (as defined therein), a copy of which is included in Section 8.10 of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Valero Acquisition Guaranty”) has been terminated or all liabilities and obligations of Valero thereunder have otherwise been released or discharged:

(a) Buyer shall not, and shall ensure that no successor owner of the Refinery and no other Person (including any Affiliate of Buyer, but excluding Valero) who has any responsibility for payment and/or performance of the Obligations:

(i) takes or fails to take any action that results or to the actual knowledge of Buyer or the Company could reasonably be expected to result in a breach or default by the Company, any of its Affiliates or any other successor or assign of the Company or VMSC (as applicable) under the Purchase Agreement or any of the Related Agreements;

(ii) consents or agrees to any reinstatement, renewal, amendment, modification, compromise, extension, acceleration or other change to any of the Obligations or to any of the Related Agreements or the Purchase Agreement; or

(iii) otherwise takes or fails to take any action that results in Valero becoming liable for payment of any amount or performance of any Obligations pursuant to the Guaranty; and

(b) Buyer shall, and shall ensure that all successor owners of the Refinery and all other Persons (including any Affiliates of Buyer, but excluding Valero) who have any responsibility for payment and/or performance of the Obligations:

(i) Promptly deliver to Seller copies of any notices received by any of them alleging that any breach or default has occurred under any of the Related Agreements or the Purchase Agreement or that any Person has otherwise failed to pay or perform any of the Obligations;

(ii) Promptly notify Seller of any events, conditions or circumstances which to the actual knowledge of Buyer or the Company could reasonably be expected to trigger any liability on the part of Valero under the Valero Acquisition Guaranty; and

(iii) Without limiting any remedies otherwise available to Seller and without obligating Seller in any manner, afford Seller, its Affiliates and their designated contractors and representatives such rights of access to and use of the Refinery (including its docks, pipelines, utility infrastructure and equipment) as may be necessary to permit Seller to inhaul, process, transport and/or deliver any refined products or other products or materials as may be necessary to meet any contractual commitments under the Related Agreements.

 

55


As used in this Section 8.10, the terms “Purchase Agreement,” “Related Agreements” and “Obligations” have the meanings given them in the Valero Acquisition Guaranty; provided, however, that as used herein (i) “Purchase Agreement” shall only refer to those portions of the Purchase Agreement that are still valid and in full force and effect as of Closing, and (ii) “Related Agreements” shall refer only to those Related Agreements that have not expired or been terminated prior to Closing, as the same have been modified or amended up to the time of Closing. In furtherance of Buyer’s obligations under Section 8.10(b)(iv), Buyer consents and agrees that Seller shall cause the Company to grant at Closing an access easement in the form and substance attached hereto as Exhibit K and incorporated herein (the “Access Easement”) for all purposes, which such Access Easement shall grant Seller and its Affiliates and their contractors and representatives access upon, over, through and across and use of all Refinery properties reasonably deemed necessary by Seller to permit the inhauling, processing, transportation and delivery activities for which Valero or its Affiliates may become liable under the Valero Acquisition Guaranty. Buyer shall indemnify the Seller Indemnitees in accordance with Section 12.3 for any Losses suffered by the Seller Indemnitees as a result of Buyer’s breach of its obligations under this Section 8.10.

Section 8.11 Intellectual Property.

(a) Grants to Intellectual Property Owned by Seller. Seller shall grant and hereby does grant to Company effective as of the Closing Date, for use by Company solely in the internal operations of the Refinery in a manner substantially similar to the operations prior to Closing, a non-exclusive, irrevocable royalty-free, paid-up license (without a right to sublicense or transfer except as expressly provided in this Section 8.11) to any Intellectual Property that is owned by Seller or any of its Affiliates, which exists at the Closing Date and which is or has been in use in the operation of the Refinery as currently operated or as operated immediately prior to the Closing, other than any Intellectual Property that is part of the Excluded Assets (“Seller IP”). Such grant is made without representation, recourse or warranty, and any warranties which may be implied by Law are hereby disclaimed. The sole purpose of this paragraph is to prevent Seller or any of its Affiliates from hereafter bringing any Claims against Buyer or Company seeking payment of royalties for the use of, or alleging unauthorized use by Buyer or Company of, any Seller IP, so long as such use is solely in the internal operations of the Refinery in a manner substantially similar to the operations prior to the Closing. Buyer and Company shall have no obligation to grant back to Seller or its Affiliates or otherwise make available to Seller or any of its Affiliates any improvements or enhancement to any Seller IP that may hereafter be developed by Buyer or Company.

(b) Subsequent Transfer of Intellectual Property. In the event Buyer transfers or pledges to any Person, ownership of the Refinery, or any part thereof, the license granted in Section 8.11(a) may be extended to such transferee or lender subject to outstanding obligations to third parties and subject to an assumption in writing by such transferee or lender of all relevant duties and obligations under the applicable portions of this Agreement.

 

56


(c) Seller Process Licenses. Seller shall transfer or cause the transfer of (A) all licenses of Intellectual Property held by Seller or its Affiliates that are used exclusively in connection with the operation of the Refinery process units or other Assets as currently operated or as operated immediately prior to the Closing, and (B) that portion of any license agreement covering the Refinery or other Assets as well as other facilities or assets owned by Seller or its Affiliates (a “Multi-Site License”) that is attributable to the operation of the Refinery process units or other Assets as currently operated or as operated immediately prior to the Closing (the interests in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) being herein collectively referred to as the “Licensed Technology Rights”), in all cases only to the extent that such Licensed Technology Rights are freely transferable or to the extent that the licensor otherwise agrees to such transfer, it being understood that Seller makes no representations or warranties as to the assignability or transferability of any Licensed Technology Rights. Buyer shall be solely responsible for seeking the consent of the licensor(s) of any such Licensed Technology Rights and for paying any costs associated with the transfer of such Licensed Technology Rights or the issuance of replacement licenses; provided, however, that Seller agrees to (i) reasonably cooperate in requesting such transfers and in executing any reasonable transfer or assignment documents that do not impose any obligations or liabilities on Seller (other than any which are already Retained Liabilities hereunder), and (ii) pay any accrued and unpaid royalties arising out of Seller’s or the Company’s use of the Licensed Technology Rights at the Refinery prior to Closing. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer agrees that Seller shall not be obligated to transfer any Licensed Technology Rights to Buyer where such transfer would require Seller or its Affiliates to surrender any paid-up capacity or other rights attributable to other facilities owned by Seller or its Affiliates (but for the avoidance of doubt, Seller will agree to release any Licensed Technology Rights allocable to the Refinery or other Assets under a Multi-Site License). Effective as of and related to the period on and after the Closing Date, Buyer or the Company shall be solely responsible for complying with all Obligations (including non-disclosure, export control and grant-back obligations) under Licensed Technology Rights used by Buyer or the Company after Closing and shall indemnify the Seller Indemnitees in accordance with Section 12.3 against any Losses they may suffer by reason of Buyer’s failure to do so. The provisions of this Section 8.11(c) do not apply to software applications, which are addressed exclusively in Section 8.11(d).

(d) Software.

(i) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall have no obligation to transfer to Buyer any of the software applications listed in Section 8.11(d)(i) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Excluded Software”). Without limiting the foregoing, as to any of the Excluded Software which Buyer or the Company desires to continue to use following the Closing Date and has determined is necessary to conduct the Business or operate the Assets following the Closing (the “Required Software”), promptly following the Execution Date, Buyer shall use diligent efforts to obtain the necessary licenses for such Required Software or cause the licensor of the Required Software to partially assign or transfer such portion of the license therefor as is attributable to the operation of the Refinery or Assets. Buyer shall be solely responsible for seeking the new licenses or the Third Person Consents to the partial transfer or assignment of the Required Software and for paying any costs associated with the issuance of new licenses or the partial transfer or assignment of the existing licenses to the Required Software. Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate in executing any reasonable partial transfer or

 

57


assignment documents that do not impose any obligations or liabilities on Seller or otherwise prevent, hinder or increase the costs of Seller’s and its Affiliate’s continued usage of the Excluded Software. In the event that Buyer has not obtained a new license or a Third Person Consent to the partial transfer or assignment of the Required Software prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall, until the earlier of (i) the receipt of such new license or Third Person Consent to the partial transfer or assignment of the Required Software, or (ii) three months following the Closing Date, provide the Company the beneficial use of the Required Software. All of the terms and conditions for the Company’s right to beneficially use of the Excluded Software, including reimbursement of Seller’s costs in providing such Excluded Software to the Company shall be set forth in the Transition Services Agreement.

(ii) Upon Buyer’s request, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to transfer (or cause its applicable Affiliate to transfer) the software listed in Section 8.11(d)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedules, to the extent used in connection with the operation of the Refinery or other Assets as currently operated or as operated immediately prior to the Closing, provided that (A) transfer of such software would not prevent continued usage of the software by Seller or its Affiliates, and (B) the licensor of such software permits a transfer to the Buyer or Company (the “Transferred Software”). If any of such Transferred Software is covered by a Multi-Site License, and if the licensor consents, Seller shall partially assign or transfer such portion of the license therefor as is attributable to the operation of the Refinery or other Assets as currently operated or as operated immediately prior to the Closing. Buyer shall be liable to pay all the costs (including legal expenses) associated with such transfers (including all third party costs, costs incurred by the Seller and Buyer’s own costs). In addition, effective as of and related to the period on and after the Closing Date, Buyer or Company shall be solely responsible for complying with all liabilities and obligations under the licenses for all such Transferred Software to the extent assigned or transferred to Buyer or Company pursuant to this Section 8.11(d)(ii) and shall indemnify the Seller Indemnitees in accordance with Section 12.3 against any Losses they may suffer by reason of Buyer’s failure to do so. Seller makes no representations or warranties as to whether or not the licensors of such Transferred Software will consent to its transfer to Buyer or the Company, and Seller shall have no liability on account of any licensor’s failure to consent to such transfer (including any liability to procure replacement software for Buyer or the Company). Without limiting the foregoing, as to any Transferred Software which Seller has not been able to transfer or assign the license therefor prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall, until the expiration of the time period set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, provide the Company the beneficial use of the Transferred Software. All of the terms and conditions for the Company’s right to beneficially use the Transferred Software, including reimbursement of Seller’s costs in providing such Transferred Software to the Company shall be set forth in the Transition Services Agreement.

(iii) Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding any software that is resident on desktop computers included in the Assets and is not listed in Section 8.11(d)(i) or 8.11(d)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedules. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller does not represent or warrant that (A) such software is properly licensed to Seller or any of its Affiliates or to any other Person, (B) Buyer, upon purchasing the Shares, shall be lawfully entitled to use such software, or (C) any licenses covering such software can be transferred to Buyer, the Company or to any other Person. However, to the extent that such software is not listed in the table set forth in Section 8.11(d)(i) of the Disclosure Schedules

 

58

(a) To the extent not included in the books and records of the Company, Seller shall provide to Buyer such unaudited financial statements and other such financial information pertaining directly to the Company and the Business covering the period commencing with the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs until the Closing Date, as may be required to be used by Buyer under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in connection with any public offering of securities or instruments by Buyer or any of its Affiliates, and which may be reasonably required for an audit of such period by Buyer, provided however, except for the express representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the Other Agreements the Seller Indemnitees do not make and expressly disclaim any representation or warranty, express, implied or statutory, as to the accuracy or completeness of the information provided under this Section 8.12(a), and none of them shall have any liability whatsoever based, in whole or in part, on any information provided under this Section 8.12(a), or for any errors therein or omissions therefrom.

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

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

 

64


(ii) the breach of any covenants or agreements of Seller contained in this Agreement (other than with respect to the matters covered by subsection (iii), (iv) and (v) below);

(iii) the Retained Liabilities;

(iv) any liabilities, obligations and covenants of Seller with respect to Taxes as provided in Section 8.4

(v) those matters for which Seller has specifically covenanted to provide indemnification in Exhibit J and Section 8.4.

No claim may be asserted nor may any action be commenced against Seller pursuant to this Section 12.2(a) unless written notice of such claim or action is received by Seller describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or action, and with respect to claims or actions based on the breach of representation or warranty, on or prior to the date such representation or warranty ceases to survive as set forth in Section 12.1; provided, however, that no claim may be asserted nor may any action be commenced by Buyer against Seller arising out of or related to a breach of any representation or warranty of which Buyer had Knowledge on or prior to the Closing Date and for which Buyer failed to deliver a Breach Notice in accordance with Section 6.3. If a Buyer Indemnitee has recovered any Losses pursuant to one subsection of this Section 12.2(a), such Buyer Indemnitee shall not be entitled to recover the same Losses under another subsection of this Section 12.2(a).

(b) No claim may be made against Seller for indemnification pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 12.2(a): (i) with respect to any individual action, occurrence or event subject to the indemnifications thereunder (or group of related actions, occurrences or events) unless the aggregate Loss of the Buyer Indemnitees with respect thereto exceeds $50,000 (nor shall any Loss below such threshold be applied to or considered for purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of the Buyer Indemnitees’ Losses) and (ii) unless the aggregate amount of all Losses of the Buyer Indemnitees with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 12.2(a) and under the Environmental Agreement shall exceed the Indemnification Deductible (after which Seller shall be obligated only to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees from and against aggregate Losses in excess of the Indemnification Deductible). The maximum aggregate amount that Seller shall be required to pay pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 12.2(a) in respect of all Losses by all Buyer Indemnitees shall equal $75,000,000, after which point Seller will have no obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees from and against further such Losses; provided, however, such limit shall be reduced to the extent of Losses paid by Seller pursuant to Section 6.1.1(a) of the Environmental Agreement. In addition, Seller shall have as an affirmative defense to any claim for indemnity under Section 12.2(a)(i) arising out of or related to a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller under Article III or Article IV that Buyer had Knowledge of such breach on or prior to the Closing Date and failed to provide a Breach Notice in accordance with Section 6.3. For the avoidance of doubt, any Losses to be paid by Seller pursuant to Section 12.2(a)(iii), (iv) and (v) are not subject to this Section 12.2(b).

(c) Except for the rights of indemnification provided in Section 12.2(a), Buyer hereby waives and releases any Claim or cause of action by Law or otherwise against Seller or its Affiliates regarding obligations and liabilities of any nature whatsoever that are attributable to the Business, the Shares, or the Company.

 

65

No claim may be asserted nor may any action be commenced against Buyer pursuant to this Section 12.3 unless written notice of such claim or action is received by Buyer describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or action, and with respect to claims or actions based on the breach of representation or warranty, on or prior to the date such representation or warranty ceases to survive as set forth in Section 12.1 provided, however that no claim may be asserted nor may any action be commenced by Sellers against Buyers arising out of or related to a breach of any representation or warranty of which Sellers had Knowledge on or prior to the Closing Date and for which Sellers failed to deliver a Breach Notice in accordance with Section 5.3. If a Seller Indemnitee has recovered any Losses pursuant to one subsection of this Section 12.3(a), such Seller Indemnitee shall not be entitled to recover the same Losses under another subsection of this Section 12.3(a). Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that, with respect to any failure by Buyer to comply with its obligations with respect to Post-Closing Employees as set forth in Exhibit J, and with respect to the covenants related to the Valero Acquisition Guaranty as set forth in Section 8.10, Seller shall be entitled to specific performance of such obligations by Buyer and immediate injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy.

(b) No claim may be made against Buyer for indemnification pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 12.3(a): (i) with respect to any individual action, occurrence or event subject to the indemnifications thereunder (or group of related actions, occurrences or events) unless the aggregate Loss of the Seller Indemnitees with respect thereto exceeds $50,000 (nor shall any Loss below such threshold be applied to or considered for purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of the Seller Indemnitees’ Losses) and (ii) unless the aggregate amount of all Losses of the Seller Indemnitees with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 12.3(a) and under the Environmental Agreement shall exceed the Indemnification Deductible (after which Buyer shall be obligated only to indemnify the Seller Indemnitees from and against aggregate Losses in excess of the Indemnification Deductible). The maximum aggregate amount that Buyer shall be required to pay pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 12.3(a) in respect of all Losses by all Seller Indemnitees shall equal $75,000,000, after which point Buyer will have no obligation to indemnify Seller Indemnitees from and against further such Losses; provided, however, such limit shall be reduced to the extent of Losses paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 6.2.1(a) of the Environmental Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any Losses to be paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 12.3(a)(iii), Section 12.3(a)(iv), Section 12.3(a)(v), and Section 12.3(a)(vi) are not subject to the limitations of this Section 12.3(b).

(c) Except for the rights of indemnification provided in Section 12.3(a), Seller hereby waives and releases any Claim or cause of action by Law or otherwise against Buyer or its Affiliates regarding obligations and liabilities of any nature whatsoever that are attributable to the Shares or the Company.

Section 12.4 Indemnification Procedures; Matters Involving Third Parties.

(a) A Seller Indemnitee or Buyer Indemnitee, as the case may be (for purposes of this Section 12.4, an “Indemnified Party”), shall give the indemnifying party under Section 12.2 and Section 12.3, as applicable (for purposes of this Section 12.4, an “Indemnifying Party”), prompt written notice of any matter which it has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from its obligations under this Article XII except to the extent, and only to the extent, the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure or to the extent the survival period, if applicable, expires pursuant to Section 12.1 prior to the giving of such notice.

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

 

67


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

(d) Unless and until the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim as provided in Section 12.4(c), the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate.

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

Section 12.5 Determination of Losses. The Losses giving rise to any indemnification obligation hereunder shall be reduced by any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party as a result of the events giving rise to the claim for indemnification, net of any expenses related to the receipt of such proceeds, including retrospective premium adjustments, if any. The amount of the indemnity payment shall be computed by taking into account the timing of the loss or payment, as applicable, at the Applicable Rate from the date the Indemnified Party provides notice of the Loss to the Indemnifying Party until the date paid. Upon the request of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with information sufficient to allow the Indemnifying Party to calculate the amount of the indemnity payment in accordance with this Section 12.5. An Indemnified Party shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate damages in respect of any claim for which it is seeking indemnification and shall use reasonable efforts to avoid any costs or expenses associated with such claim and, if such costs and expenses cannot be avoided, to minimize the amount thereof; provided, that an Indemnified Party shall have no obligation to make a claim for recovery against any insurer of such Indemnified Party with respect to any such Losses.

(d) EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF FRAUD AND WILLFUL BREACH , ALL RELEASES, DISCLAIMERS, LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNITIES IN THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THOSE IN THIS ARTICLE XII, SHALL APPLY EVEN IN THE EVENT OF THE SOLE, JOINT AND/OR CONCURRENT, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR FAULT OF THE PARTY WHOSE LIABILITY IS RELEASED, DISCLAIMED, LIMITED OR INDEMNIFIED.

Section 12.7 Governing 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 conflicts of laws rules as applied in New York.

Section 12.8 Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Waiver. Each of the parties hereto agrees, subject to Section 12.9, that it shall bring any action or proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement, whether in tort or contract or at law or in equity, exclusively in any Federal or state court in the State of New York and solely in connection with claims arising under such agreement or instrument or the transactions contained in or contemplated by such agreement or instrument, (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, (ii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in such courts, (iii) waives any objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over it and (iv) agrees that service of process upon it may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to it at its address specified in Section 13.2.

69


Section 12.10 Availability of Equitable Relief.

Notwithstanding Section 12.9, prior to the appointment of the arbitrators, a party hereto may, subject to Section 12.8, seek temporary injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction; provided that the party seeking such relief shall (if arbitration has not already been commenced) simultaneously commence arbitration in compliance with the Dispute Resolution Procedures.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Board of Directors of Valero Energy Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of the Paulsboro Refining Business as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of income, changes in net parent investment, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of the Paulsboro Refining Business. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Paulsboro Refining Business’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Paulsboro Refining Business as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 2, the Business incurred a net loss and experienced negative cash flow from operations for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Business has limited financial resources to fund operating losses and support itself until such time, if ever, the Business is successful in generating positive cash flow from operations. The Business is dependent upon Valero Energy Corporation, its parent, to provide such financial support and there is no legal or contractual requirement for Valero to provide such support. These factors raise substantial doubt concerning the ability of the Business to continue operating as a going concern. The financial statements do not contain any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Business be unable to continue operating as a going concern.

PAULSBORO REFINING BUSINESS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

The Paulsboro Refining Business (the Business) includes the operations of the Paulsboro Refinery and related assets. The Paulsboro Refinery is located on 950 acres in Paulsboro, New Jersey, approximately 15 miles south of Philadelphia on the Delaware River. The refinery has a total throughput capacity, including crude oil and other feedstocks, of approximately 185,000 barrels per day. The refinery’s main processing facilities include a crude unit, a coker, a propane deasphalting unit, a fluid catalytic cracking unit, a continuous catalytic desulfurization unit, and a sulfur recovery unit. The refinery processes primarily sour crude oils into a wide slate of products including gasolines, distillates, lube oil basestocks and lube extracts, asphalt, fuel oil, petroleum coke, propane and sulfur. Feedstocks and refined products are typically transported by tanker and barge via refinery-owned dock facilities along the Delaware River, Buckeye Pipeline Company’s product distribution system into western Pennsylvania and Ohio, a local truck rack owned by NuStar Energy L.P., railcars, and the Colonial pipeline, which allows products to be sold into the New York Harbor market.

The Paulsboro Refinery was acquired by a subsidiary of Valero Energy Corporation (Valero) from Mobil Oil Corporation (Mobil) on September 16, 1998. References to Valero or Parent herein may refer to Valero Energy Corporation or one or more of its direct or indirect subsidiaries that are not included in the financial statements of the Business, as the context requires.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The financial statements reflect Valero’s historical cost basis in the Business.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Business incurred a net loss of $138 million, a net operating loss of $225 million, and experienced negative cash flow from operations of $62 million. Unaudited information subsequent to December 31, 2009 indicates that the Business is continuing to incur operating losses and negative cash flow from operations. The Business consists only of the direct operating assets and liabilities of the Paulsboro Refinery and therefore the Business has limited financial resources to support its operations when it experiences negative cash flow from operations or requires significant funds for capital expenditures or major maintenance of the refinery. The Business is dependent upon Valero to provide such financial support as required and there is no legal or contractual requirement for Valero to do so. These factors give rise to substantial doubt concerning the ability of the Business to continue operating as a going concern. The ability of the Business to continue operating in the normal course of business is dependent upon its ability to generate future positive cash flow from operations and the financial support of Valero. The financial statements do not contain any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The financial statements include allocations and estimates of general and administrative costs of Valero that are attributable to the operations of the Business. The Business purchases its crude oil and other feedstocks from and sells its refined products to Valero. Purchases of feedstock by the Business from Valero are recorded at the cost paid to third parties by Valero, and sales of refined products from the Business to Valero are recorded at intercompany transfer prices, which are market prices adjusted by

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

quality, location, and other differentials on the date of the sale. Management believes that the assumptions, estimates, and allocations used to prepare these financial statements are reasonable. However, the amounts reflected in these financial statements may not necessarily be indicative of the revenues, costs, and expenses that would have resulted if the Business had been operated as a separate entity.

The Business’ results of operations may be affected by seasonal factors, such as the demand for petroleum products, which vary during the year, or industry factors that may be specific to a particular period, such as industry supply capacity and refinery turnarounds. In addition, the Business’ results of operations are dependent on Valero’s feedstock acquisition and refined product marketing activities.

Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events that occurred after December 31, 2009 through June 7, 2010, the date these financial statements were issued. Any material subsequent events that occurred during this time have been properly recognized or disclosed in these financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.

Inventories

Inventories represent inventories located at the refinery, and consist of refinery feedstocks purchased for processing, refined products, and materials and supplies. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market. The cost of refinery feedstocks purchased for processing and refined products are determined under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method using the dollar-value LIFO method, with any increments valued based on purchase prices at the end of the year. The cost of materials and supplies is determined under the weighted-average cost method.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Additions to property, plant and equipment, including capitalized interest and certain costs allocable to construction and property purchases, are recorded at cost.

The costs of minor property units (or components of property units), net of salvage value, retired or abandoned are charged or credited to accumulated depreciation under the composite method of depreciation. Gains or losses on sales or other dispositions of major units of property are recorded in income and are reported in depreciation and amortization expense in the statements of income.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related facilities primarily using the composite method of depreciation. Leasehold improvements and assets acquired under capital leases are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the related asset.

PAULSBORO REFINING BUSINESS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

Deferred Charges and Other Assets

Deferred charges and other assets include the following:

 

   

refinery turnaround costs, which are incurred in connection with planned major maintenance activities at the Paulsboro Refinery and which are deferred when incurred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of time estimated to lapse until the next turnaround occurs;

 

   

fixed-bed catalyst costs, representing the cost of catalyst that is changed out at periodic intervals when the quality of the catalyst has deteriorated beyond its prescribed function, which are deferred when incurred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the specific catalyst; and

 

   

process royalty costs, which are deferred when incurred and amortized over the life of the specific royalty.

Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. A long-lived asset is not recoverable if its carrying amount exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If a long-lived asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount by which its carrying amount exceeds its fair value, with fair value determined based on discounted estimated net cash flows or other appropriate methods. Management believes that the carrying amounts of the Business’ long-lived assets as of December 31, 2009 are recoverable. See Note 4 for a discussion of certain capital projects in progress that have been temporarily suspended.

Due to the effect of the current unfavorable economic conditions on the refining industry, and management’s expectations of a continuation of such conditions for the near term, management will continue to monitor both operating assets and capital projects for potential asset impairments until conditions improve. The determination of future cash flows requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions about the future operations of the refinery, including overall throughput volumes, types of crude oil processed, types of products produced, and prices for crude oil and refined products. Prices for crude oil and refined products fluctuate significantly based on market factors, as well as geopolitical matters. Prices, in turn, impact refinery throughput assumptions. Management believes that its estimates are reasonable; however, future cash flows will differ from its estimates and such differences may be material. The refinery’s expected future cash flows are primarily sensitive to differences between expected and actual refined product prices. In addition, future developments from management’s evaluation of strategic alternatives for the refinery (including a potential sale) could significantly impact management’s asset impairment assumptions. Should management determine that the refinery is impaired, the resulting impairment loss could be material to the Business’ results of operations.

Taxes Other than Income Taxes

Taxes other than income taxes include liabilities for use taxes and payroll taxes.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

PAULSBORO REFINING BUSINESS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

Deferred amounts are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

The Business pays the Parent the amount of its current federal income tax liability as determined under a tax-sharing arrangement with the Parent; the accrual and payment of the current federal income tax liability is recorded in net parent investment in the financial statements in the year incurred. The current state income tax liability of the Business is reflected in income taxes payable.

Historically, the Business’ results of operations have been included in the consolidated federal income tax return filed by Valero and have been included in state income tax returns of subsidiaries of Valero. The income tax provision in the statements of income represents the current and deferred income taxes that would have resulted if the Business were a stand-alone taxable entity filing its own income tax returns. Accordingly, the calculations of the current and deferred income tax provision necessarily require certain assumptions, allocations, and estimates that management believes are reasonable to reflect the tax reporting for the Business as a stand-alone taxpayer.

The Business has elected to classify any interest expense and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes in income tax expense.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Business has asset retirement obligations with respect to certain of its refinery assets due to various legal obligations to clean and/or dispose of various component parts at the time they are retired. As of December 31, 2009, the Business had recorded asset retirement obligations related to certain pond closures and a landfill closure.

In addition to these recorded asset retirement obligations, the Business has asset retirement obligations with respect to certain other component parts of its refinery assets. However, those component parts can be used for extended and indeterminate periods of time as long as they are properly maintained and/or upgraded. It is management’s practice and current intent to maintain those refinery assets and continue making improvements to those assets based on technological advances. As a result, management believes that those refinery assets have an indeterminate life for purposes of estimating asset retirement obligations because dates or ranges of dates upon which such refinery assets would be retired cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. When a date or range of dates can be reasonably estimated for the retirement of any component part of those refinery assets, an estimate of the cost of performing the retirement activities will be determined and a liability will be recorded for the fair value of that cost using established present value techniques.

Environmental Matters

Liabilities for future remediation costs are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Other than for assessments, the timing and magnitude of these accruals generally are based on the completion of investigations or other studies or a commitment to a formal plan of action. Environmental liabilities are based on best estimates of probable undiscounted future costs over a 20-year time period using currently available technology and applying current regulations, as well as the Business’ own internal environmental policies. Amounts recorded for environmental liabilities are not reduced by possible recoveries from third parties.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

Net Parent Investment

The net parent investment represents a net amount consisting of the Parent’s initial investment in the Business and subsequent adjustments resulting from the operations of the Business and various transactions between the Business and Valero. The Business participates in the Parent’s centralized cash management program under which all of the Business’ cash receipts are remitted to and all cash disbursements are funded by the Parent. Other transactions affecting the net parent investment include general and administrative expenses incurred by Valero and allocated to the Business. There are no terms of settlement or interest charges associated with the net parent investment.

Comprehensive Income

The Business has reported no comprehensive income due to the absence of items of other comprehensive income in the periods presented.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recorded by the Business upon delivery of the refined products to the Parent, which is the point at which title to the products is transferred.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes the cost of feedstock acquired for processing by the Business, including transportation costs to deliver the feedstock to the refinery.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses consist primarily of labor costs of refinery personnel, maintenance, fuel and power costs, chemical and catalyst costs, and third-party services. Such expenses are recognized as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

Employees of the Business participate in various employee benefit plans of the Parent, including certain stock-based compensation plans as discussed in Note 11. Compensation expense for awards under the stock-based compensation plans is based on the fair value of the awards granted and is recognized in the statements of income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each award. For new grants that have retirement-eligibility provisions, the Business uses the substantive vesting period approach, under which compensation cost is recognized immediately for awards granted to retirement-eligible employees or over the period from the grant date to the date retirement eligibility is achieved if that date is expected to occur before the nominal vesting periods of the awards is fulfilled.

Segment Disclosures

The Business operates in only one segment, the refining segment of the oil and gas industry.

Financial Instruments

The Business’ financial instruments include cash, receivables, and payables. The estimated fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts.

Refinery feedstock and refined product and blendstock inventory volumes totaled 3.5 million barrels and 4.2 million barrels as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. A reduction in inventory volumes during 2009 and 2007 resulted in a liquidation of LIFO inventory layers that were established in prior years. The effect of these liquidations was to decrease cost of sales by $33.6 million and $40.6 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2007. There was no liquidation of LIFO inventory layers for the year ended December 31, 2008.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the replacement cost (market value) of LIFO inventories exceeded their LIFO carrying amounts by approximately $108.1 million and $15.6 million, respectively.

The Business is leasing an oxygen facility under a capital lease that is discussed further in Note 12. The capital lease, which is included above in “other,” had a net book value of $0.2 million, net of accumulated amortization of $0.1 million, as of both December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007 was $52.1 million, $44.3 million, and $42.3 million, respectively.

Management continually evaluates all of the refinery’s capital projects in progress during their construction, which at times results in the cancellation of certain of such projects. The cancellation of

 

12


PAULSBORO REFINING BUSINESS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

various capital projects became more significant in 2009, as the economic slowdown that began in 2008 continued throughout 2009, thereby impacting demand for refined products and putting significant pressure on refined product margins. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, project costs totaling $8.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, were written off.

In addition to capital projects that have been written off, construction activity on various other projects has been suspended until market conditions and cash flows improve. As of December 31, 2009, various projects with a total cost of approximately $56 million have been temporarily suspended. These costs have not been written off, as management believes that the overall market conditions and cash flows of the refinery will improve in the future such that the completion and recoverability of these temporarily suspended projects is probable.

5. DEFERRED CHARGES AND OTHER ASSETS

10. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Related-party transactions of the Business include the purchase of feedstocks by the Business from Valero, operating revenues received by the Business from its sales of refined products to Valero, and the allocation of insurance and security costs and certain general and administrative costs from Valero to the Business. Purchases of feedstock by the Business from Valero are recorded at the cost paid to third parties by Valero. Sales of refined products from the Business to Valero are recorded at intercompany transfer prices, which are market prices adjusted by quality, location, and other differentials on the date of the sale. General and administrative costs are charged by Valero to the Business based on management’s determination of such costs attributable to the operations of the Business. However, such related-party transactions cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s length basis as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. For purposes of these financial statements, payables and receivables related to transactions between the Business and Valero are included as a component of the net parent investment.

PAULSBORO REFINING BUSINESS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

The Business participates in the Parent’s centralized cash management program under which cash receipts and cash disbursements are processed through the Parent’s cash accounts with a corresponding credit or charge to an intercompany account. This intercompany account is included in the net parent investment.

As discussed above, Valero provides the Business with certain general and administrative services, including the centralized corporate functions of legal, accounting, treasury, environmental, engineering, information technology, and human resources. For these services, Valero charges the Business a portion of its total general and administrative expenses incurred in the U.S. The general and administrative expenses in the statements of income represent the amount of such costs allocated to the Business for the periods presented, with this allocation based on investments in property, operating revenues, and payroll expenses. Management believes that the amount of general and administrative expenses allocated to the Business is a reasonable approximation of the costs related to the Business.

The following table summarizes the related-party transactions of the Business (in thousands):

11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Employees who work for the Business are included in the various employee benefit plans of the Parent. These plans include qualified, non-contributory defined benefit retirement plans, defined contribution plans, employee and retiree medical, dental, and life insurance plans, incentive plans (i.e., stock options, restricted stock, and bonuses), and other such benefits. For the purposes of these financial statements, the Business is considered to be participating in multi-employer benefit plans of the Parent.

The Business’ allocated share of the Parent’s employee benefit plan expenses, excluding costs related to the incentive plans (which are disclosed separately below), was $21.5 million, $17.1 million, and $19.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. For the incentive plans, the Business was charged with the bonus, stock option, and restricted stock expense directly attributable to its employees. The bonus, stock option, and restricted stock expenses charged to the Business for each period were as set out below (in thousands):

Environmental Matters

In connection with the acquisition of the Paulsboro Refinery in 1998, Valero assumed certain environmental liabilities including, but not limited to, certain remediation obligations related primarily to clean-up costs associated with groundwater contamination, landfill closure and post-closure monitoring costs, and tank farm spill prevention costs.

Litigation Matters

MTBE Litigation

As of June 7, 2010, Valero and several of its subsidiaries were named in numerous cases involving claims related to MTBE contamination in groundwater based on the manufacture, marketing and supply of gasoline containing MTBE. With respect to the historic operations at the Paulsboro Refinery, 31 of these cases may involve allegations of liability for gasoline containing MTBE manufactured at the Paulsboro Refinery. The Valero subsidiary that owns the Paulsboro Refinery has been named in two of the cases along with Valero and other Valero subsidiaries, and potential liability of the Paulsboro Refinery in the other 29 cases is otherwise attributable to its affiliation with Valero. The plaintiffs are generally water providers, governmental authorities, and private water companies alleging that refiners and marketers of MTBE and gasoline containing MTBE are liable for manufacturing or distributing a defective product. Valero has been named in these lawsuits together with many other refining industry companies. Valero is being sued primarily as a refiner and marketer of MTBE and gasoline containing MTBE. Valero does not own or operate gasoline station facilities in most of the geographic locations in which damage is alleged to have occurred. The lawsuits generally seek individual, unquantified compensatory and punitive damages, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees. Many of the cases are pending in federal court and are consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (Multi-District Litigation Docket No. 1358, In re: Methyl-Tertiary Butyl Ether Products Liability Litigation). Seventeen cases are pending in state court. Discovery is open in all cases. Valero has reached a settlement in principal of 25 of the 31 cases arising from the States of New York and Florida. Valero believes that it has strong defenses to all claims and is vigorously defending the lawsuits. Although Valero has recorded a loss contingency liability with respect to the MTBE litigation portfolio, the Business has not recorded a liability for this litigation.

The Business is also a party to other claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that there is only a remote likelihood that future costs related to known contingent liabilities related to these legal proceedings would have a material adverse impact on the results of operations or financial position of the Business.

Taxes

 

1. The statute of limitations for assessing a deficiency for federal income taxes against Valero Energy Corporation and Subsidiaries has been extended for each of the tax years ending 2002 through 2006. The statute of limitations has also been extended with respect to partnership items for several partnerships indirectly wholly-owned by Valero Energy Corporation. Valero, the Company, members of the Relevant Group, and related partnerships customarily sign extensions to extend the statute of limitations for assessing a deficiency for federal income taxes against Valero Energy Corporation and Subsidiaries. Valero intends to continue this practice and will sign extensions of the statute of limitations as requested by the Internal Revenue Service.

 

2. The period of limitations for assessing a deficiency against Company for New Jersey income tax purposes has been extended for 2004. Valero, the Company, members of the Relevant Group, and related partnerships customarily sign extensions to extend the statute of limitations for assessing a deficiency for federal income taxes against Valero, the Company, members of the Relevant Group, and related partnerships. Valero intends to continue this practice and will sign extensions (or request that Buyer sign extension post Closing for the Company) to extend the statute of limitations as requested by various state and local jurisdictions to assess a deficiency for income or franchise tax.

 

3. The following Revenue Agent Reports from the IRS have been received:

4. See Schedule 4.12 (a) for a listing of 5701s, Notice of Proposed Adjustment, that have been received for the Company. Valero and members of the Relevant Group have received similar notices, as well as additional notices on different topics.

 

5. Federal income tax audits are currently being conducted by the IRS with respect to Valero Energy Corporation and Subsidiaries, and several partnerships indirectly wholly-owned by Valero Energy Corporation, for the 2002-2007 audit cycles.

 

6. The State of New Jersey is currently auditing the income tax returns of the Company for the years ending 2004-2007.

 

7. Various members of the Relevant Group are under audit by various state and local jurisdictions related to income and franchise taxes.


8. Valero, the Company, and members of the Relevant Group have filed extensions of time to file state and local tax returns for the period ending at December 31, 2009. No extensions have been requested beyond that which is allowed under the extension laws of the various states and local jurisdictions.

 

9. New Jersey Sales/Use Tax Audits.

The state of New Jersey audited VRC-NJ’s sales/use tax liabilities and payments for the periods October 1999 to December 2003 (“audit period”). VRC-NJ entered into a Closing Agreement with the State on August 19, 2008 and paid consideration in the amount of $12.5 million to resolve all tax sales/use tax disputes with respect to the audit period. The consideration paid included tax, interest and penalties of $7.0 million, $5.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively. In that audit, the auditor claimed that sales/use tax was not paid on a number of transactions, primarily related to turnaround labor costs and repairs and maintenance.

VRC-NJ accrued additional sales/use tax reserves in the amount of $12.6 million during the third quarter of 2007 by applying error rates determined for the audit period to a population of similar transactions in the subsequent open periods January 2004 to June 2007. VRC-NJ implemented Sabrix, a sales/use tax decision-making software, effective July 1, 2007 and, accordingly, did not accrue sales/use tax reserves for VRC-NJ for audit periods after June 2007.

The state of New Jersey has notified VRC-NJ of its intent to perform a subsequent audit of VRC-NJ. However, certain sales/use tax reserves previously accrued for the periods January 2004 to February 2006 have been reversed as open periods have fallen out of the statute of limitations. Sales/use tax reserves recorded as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 for open periods through June 2007 were $13.3 million and $10.6 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2010, the tax statutes for VRC-NJ are open for the periods June 2006 to current. The remaining sales/use tax reserves recorded on VRC - NJ for open audit periods through June 2007 were $4.1 million as of June 30, 2010.

11. Seller and Buyer agree and understand that there are pending Tax appeals contesting the valuation of the Business and Assets for the Tax years 1998 through 2010. It is agreed and understood that, to any extent necessary, Buyer shall cooperate fully and cause the Company to cooperate fully with Seller’s efforts to prosecute and resolve these Tax appeals including, but not limited to, making the Assets available and providing, upon reasonable demand and subject to a protective order, any and all documents necessary for the resolution of said Tax appeals. It is further agreed and understood that (i) all refunds for overpayment of ad valorem Taxes and interest thereon resulting from the foregoing Tax appeals covering the period of time 1999-2009 are Seller’s sole and exclusive property (ii) all refunds for overpayment of ad valorem Taxes and interest thereon resulting from the foregoing Tax appeals covering the year 1999 are to be allocated between the Valero and Mobil pursuant to the Purchase Agreement with Mobil and (iii) all refunds, and any interest thereon, for overpayment of ad valorem Taxes resulting from the foregoing Tax appeal for the year 2010 shall be allocated in accordance with Section 4.12 of the Agreement. If, for any reason, any part of any refund and interest thereon which is due to the Company is credited against Taxes payable by the Company, Buyer shall pay to Seller as such Taxes become due and payable, without set off, such amount which Seller would have received by way of refund and interest thereon. The Parties further agree that for the Tax year 2010, Seller and Buyer shall share litigation expenses, to the extent created after Closing, in the prosecution of that appeal. Buyer further understands in 1998, the Township of Greenwich changed the manner in which it assessed the Assets by bifurcating its assessment among real and personal property. The Company is disputing among other things, the constitutionality of that action. Buyer agrees that in order to maintain the integrity of the pending Tax appeal, it shall cause the Company to make all real and personal property Tax payments in a timely manner to the Township of Greenwich. Buyer has been advised that the payment of Taxes in a timely manner is a jurisdictional prerequisite to the continuation of prosecution Tax appeals in the State of New Jersey.

As identified on Section 4.13(b) of these schedules, there are some process licenses that were originally issued to Mobil and for which Seller cannot find evidence they were transferred to the Company, though arguably they may have been covered under the Intellectual Property Rights License Agreement dated September 16, 1998 between Mobil Oil Corporation and the Company.

 

2. As identified on Section 4.13(b) of these schedules, there are some units in use at the Refinery that Seller thinks might contain third party technology, but for which no license could be located. Seller is not advising Buyer as to whether or not some of the technology originally covered by these licenses was or is now “open art” or other similar technology for which a license is no longer required. Seller has no Knowledge of any person having claimed that the Company’s use of such units violates the terms of any license or otherwise constitutes an unauthorized use of such person’s technology embodied in such units.

 

3. For informational purposes only, Seller has listed some process licenses on Section 4.13(b) of these schedules that relate to units either never placed into service or taken out of service. Seller is not making any representations as to whether those licenses could be relied upon to place those units back into service.

Part II

Engineering Service Agreements. The Company has engaged various firms to provide engineering services at the Refinery over the years, and it is not uncommon for engineering agreements to include grants of rights to use the engineering firm’s intellectual property (e.g. know-how) that is included in the deliverables (e.g. drawings) or that is otherwise provided as part of the services. To the extent that any such intellectual property rights are included as part of the Assets, the Company shall retain these rights, and to the extent such intellectual property rights are included as part of the deliverables under any of the Seller Contracts related to the Refinery, Seller it is Seller’s intent to include such intellectual property with the assignment of any Seller Contract, to the extent within Seller’s right, but Seller makes no representations or warranties as to whether or to what extent any such intellectual property exists or, if it does, whether it can be transferred to Buyer.


Part III

Software.

 

1. See Section 8.19(d)(i) of these Schedules for information regarding certain software applications which have been used in connection with the Business that will not be transferred to Buyer. Seller or its Affiliates may utilize them to provide services pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement.

 

2. Third party software applications that were not transferred to the Company by Mobil.


Schedule 4.13(b)

Process Licenses

Schedule 8.4(d)

Tax Matters

Seller shall have sole control of the defense and settlement of the following Tax Audit items for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods without the need to obtain consents or approvals from Buyer:

 

Tax Item

   Jurisdiction
Line/Unit Fill    Federal
Environmental Remediation    Federal
Chemical Depreciation    Federal
Supplemental Environmental Projects (“SEP”)    Federal
Section 174 (R&D) Expense    Federal
Section 199    Federal
Transfer Pricing    New Jersey

The chemical depreciation issue includes the 2000-2001 Form 1120 for Valero Energy Corporation and Subsidiaries. Valero paid tax related to these years after receiving a Notice of Deficiency and has two years from the date of payment of this tax to file a refund claim. Valero intends to file the refund claim within this time frame and expects that the IRS will either deny the refund claim or fail to act on the refund claim. Valero expects that the chemical depreciation issue will be litigated for the 2000-2001 tax years in district court and Valero shall have the right to file suit associated with this issue and shall have sole control and defense of this litigation.


Schedule 8.5

Rail Cars

Seller shall cause VMSC to provide the following number and type of Rail Cars to the Company pursuant to Section 8.13 of the Agreement and the terms of this Schedule:

 

   

Petroleum Coke hopper cars – 244

 

   

Extract tank cars – 149

 

   

LPG tank cars – 500 (this number fluctuates between 475 to 515)

 

   

Lube Oil tank cars – 249

 

   

Sulfur tank cars – 70

VMSC may retain certain cars after Closing for satisfying obligations under the Offtake Agreement.

VMSC will select leased Rail Cars (that are leased under commercially reasonable Rail Car Agreements) for assignment to the Company and to be used by the Company pursuant to Section 7.13. Buyer and/or the Company and VMSC will work together in good faith to properly manage the transition of the Rail Cars.

Railcars to be assigned are those which have been in service to this refinery. Leases are all full service leases with American Railcar Leasing (ARL), CIT, GATX, GE, HELM, Southwest Rail, Transportation Equipment (TEI), and Union Tank Car. Any assignment of railcars would be orderly and allow for sufficient vetting of leases and railcars.

The Rail Cars under lease with HELM will not be allocated or assigned to the Company at Closing.

The Paulsboro Refinery is served by NS or CSXT and switched by SMS.

Railcars are billed and billing is electronically submitted to the carrying railroad using the Bourque Data System. BDS is a 3rd party software vendor.

Valero Acquisition Guaranty

See copy on following pages


GUARANTY

Guaranty, dated as of September 16, 1998, by Valero Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Guarantor”), in favor of Mobil Oil Corporation, a New York corporation (“Mobil”), and the Mobil Affiliates (as hereinafter defined) (collectively, the “Beneficiaries”).

RECITALS

A. As of the date hereof, Mobil and Valero Refining Company-New Jersey, a Delaware corporation and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Guarantor (“Buyer”), entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement for the sale by Mobil and purchase by Buyer of certain petroleum refining assets located in Paulsboro, New Jersey (the “Purchase Agreement”).

B. In connection with the Purchase Agreement, Buyer and Valero Marketing and Supply Company, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guarantor (“VMSC”), entered into as of the date hereof certain related commercial agreements with certain affiliates of Mobil, as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto. The agreements listed on Schedule 1 are referred to herein as the “Related Agreements” and the affiliates of Mobil referenced in Schedule 1 are referred to herein as the “Mobil Affiliates.” (Buyer and VMSC are each individually referred to herein as a “Valero Affiliate”, and collectively as the “Valero Affiliates”.)

C. The transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is in the interests of the Guarantor and the Guarantor is prepared to enter into this Guaranty.

AGREEMENT

 

1. Guaranty. (a) In consideration of the Beneficiaries entering into the Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements, and as a condition precedent to the Beneficiaries’ obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements, the Guarantor irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as primary obligor and not as surety, to Beneficiaries and their respective permitted successors and assigns the prompt performance, when due, by the Valero Affiliates of all obligations of the Valero Affiliates to the Beneficiaries under the Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements (the “Obligations”) when the Obligations are to be performed and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Guaranty.

(b) Guarantor agrees that in the event that a Valero Affiliate fails to perform an Obligation that constitutes a payment obligation then due in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement or the Related Agreements, as the case may be, Guarantor shall upon receipt of written notice from any of the Beneficiaries describing such failure and demanding payment (the “Payment Demand”), but in no event more than five (5) business days thereafter, itself pay such sum as has not been paid by the Valero Affiliate as if the Guarantor instead of the Valero Affiliate were the primary obligor, together with interest thereon at the rate per annum from time to time payable by the Valero Affiliate on such sum pursuant to the applicable provision of the Purchase Agreement and the Related


Agreements from the date when such sum becomes due and payable by the Valero Affiliate under the applicable provision of the Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements until the payment of such sum in full. The Payment Demand shall reasonably and briefly specify in what manner and what amount the Valero Affiliate has failed to perform the Obligation in question, with a specific statement that the Beneficiary is calling upon Guarantor-to perform under this Guaranty. A Payment Demand satisfying the foregoing requirements shall be deemed sufficient notice to Guarantor that it must pay an Obligation. A single Payment Demand shall be effective as to any specific default during the continuance of such default, until the Valero Affiliate or the Guarantor has cured such default and additional Payment Demands shall not be required until such default is cured.

(c) Guarantor agrees that if and to the extent a Valero Affiliate fails to perform an Obligation when due in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement or the Related Agreements, as the case may be, that constitutes an obligation other than a payment obligation, Guarantor shall upon receipt of written notice from any of the Beneficiaries describing such failure and demanding performance (the “Performance Demand”), but in no event more than five (5) business days thereafter cause the Valero Affiliate to perform or commence performance of such Obligation or shall perform or commence performance of the Obligation itself, as if the Guarantor instead of the Valero Affiliate were the primary obligor. The Performance Demand shall be written, and shall reasonably and briefly specify in what manner the Valero Affiliate has failed to perform the Obligation in question, with a specific statement that the Beneficiary is calling upon Guarantor to perform under this Guaranty. A Performance Demand satisfying the foregoing requirements shall be deemed sufficient notice to Guarantor that it must perform or cause a Valero Affiliate to perform an Obligation. A single Performance Demand shall be effective as to any specific default during the continuance of such default, until the Valero Affiliate or the Guarantor has cured such default and additional Performance Demands shall not be required until such default is cured.

 

2. Nature of Guaranty. The obligations, covenants, agreements and duties of the Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect and shall be enforceable until the Obligations are finally, indefeasibly and unconditionally paid and performed in full in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and Related Agreements, as the case may be, and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, shall in no way be affected or impaired by reason of the happening from time to time of any other event, including, without limitation, the following, whether or not any such event shall have occurred without notice to or the consent of the Guarantor:

(a) Any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Obligations, the Purchase Agreement or any of the Related Agreements;

(b) Any change in the time, manner or place of performance, or in any other term, of all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment, supplement or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the Purchase Agreement or any Related Agreement, including, without limitation, any increase in or modification of the Obligations;

 

2


(c) Any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure, existence of ownership of any Valero Affiliate;

(d) Any act or omission on the part of any Beneficiary; or

(e) Any other circumstance (other than performance by the Valero Affiliates of their respective Obligations) which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of a guarantor or surety generally.

 

3. Reinstatement. If the Obligations are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding (including, without limitation, the dissolution of a Valero Affiliate), the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect and shall continue to legally bind the Guarantor as if there had been no such unenforceability against, refusal, inability or lack of capacity on the part of a Valero Affiliate to allow payment of any amount that constitutes part of the Obligations. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or liquidation of, or similar proceeding (including, without limitation, the dissolution of a Valero Affiliate) with respect to a Valero Affiliate, the Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

 

4. No Waiver: Cumulative Rights. (a) No failure on the part of any Beneficiary to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any Beneficiary of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any right, remedy or power. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to the Beneficiaries or allowed them by law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Beneficiaries from time to time.

(b) Except as to applicable statutes of limitation, no delay by a Beneficiary in the exercise of, or failure to exercise, any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such rights, a waiver of any other rights or a release of Guarantor from obligations hereunder.

(c) Guarantor consents to the renewal, amendment, modification, compromise, extension, acceleration or other changes in the time of payment of or other changes or modifications in the terms of the Obligations, or any part thereof.

(d) Guarantor hereby waives (i) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, (ii) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor and all other notices (except as set forth in Paragraph 1 above), (iii) any right to require that any action or proceeding be brought against a Valero Affiliate or any other person prior to any action against Guarantor under the terms hereof, and (iv) any and all right to assert any set-off, counterclaim, reduction, or diminution of any Obligation, or any defense of any kind or nature whatsoever (other than performance), which the Guarantor may have or assert against any Beneficiary.

 

3


5. Preservation of Rights. Until all Obligations which may be or become payable or performable by a Valero Affiliate to a Beneficiary have been irrevocably and unconditionally discharged in full, that Beneficiary may:

(a) refrain from applying of enforcing any other security, moneys or rights held or received by that Beneficiary with respect to such amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as that Beneficiary sees fit (whether against such amounts or otherwise); and

(b) hold in a suspense account (with any interest accruing thereon to be credited to such suspense account) any moneys received by them from the Guarantor or on account of the Guarantor’s liabilities under this Guaranty.

 

6. Indemnity. The Guarantor hereby agrees, as a separate and independent matter and without prejudice to the Beneficiaries’ rights against a Valero Affiliate as the primary obligor, that if any of the Obligations are not enforceable hereunder because the Guarantor’s guaranty is not enforceable against the Guarantor, Guarantor shall indemnify the Beneficiaries for the amount of each such obligation to the extent unenforceable, together with any interest thereon as provided in Paragraph 1 hereto.

 

7. Independent and Separate Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Valero Affiliates with respect to all or any of the Obligations and, in the event of any default hereunder, a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor with respect to one or more of the Obligations whether or not the Guarantor is the alter ego of a Valero Affiliate and whether or not a Valero Affiliate is joined therein, or a separate action or actions are brought against a Valero Affiliate or the Guarantor.

 

8. No Consequential or Punitive Damages. In no event shall Guarantor be subject hereunder to consequential, exemplary, equitable, loss of profits, punitive, tort, or any other such indirect or consequential damages or costs.

 

9. Contractual Defenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, the parties expressly agree that in any action brought with respect to this Guaranty, Guarantor shall be entitled to raise as a complete or partial defense to any liability it may otherwise have hereunder any rights, counterclaims, contractual and other defenses to the same extent as such could have been asserted or raised by a Valero Affiliate in defense of a claim brought by any Beneficiary against the Valero Affiliate, excluding, however, any right, claim or defense based upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Valero Affiliate.

 

4


10. Notice. All notices or other communications to the Guarantor shall be in writing and, except as set forth in the Paragraph 1, shall be given in the same manner and with the same effect as set forth in the Purchase Agreement or the Related Agreements, as applicable. The Guarantor’s address for notices is as follows:

Valero Energy Company

P.O. Box 500

San Antonio, Texas 78292-500

Fax: (210)370-2988

Attn: Corporate Secretary

or such other address as the Guarantor shall from time to time specify to Mobil.

 

11. Representations and Warranties. The Guarantor represents and warrants to the Beneficiaries that as of the date of this Guaranty:

(a) The Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has full corporate power to conduct its business as now being conducted and to execute, deliver and perform this Guaranty.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and the Guaranty has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Guarantor.

(c) All consents, authorizations and approvals of, and registrations and declarations with, any governmental authority necessary for the due execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty have been obtained and remain in full force and effect and all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Guaranty.

(d) This Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

(e) There is no action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity by or before any court or arbitral tribunal now pending or, to the knowledge of the Guarantor, threatened against the Guarantor which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Guarantor’s ability to perform its obligations under this Guaranty.

(f) The Guarantor owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the equity interest in the Valero Affiliates.

 

12.

Assignment. Neither the Guarantor nor the Beneficiaries may assign their respective rights, interest or obligations hereunder to any other person without the prior written consent of the Guarantor or the Beneficiaries, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the

 

5


  preceding sentence, the Beneficiaries may, without the consent of the Guarantor, assign their rights hereunder together with an assignment of any of the Related Agreements, provided that such assignment is permitted under the terms of the applicable Related Agreement.

 

13. Subrogation; Subordination. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Guarantor hereunder, the Guarantor shall not be subrogated to any rights of any Beneficiary against any Valero Affiliate until all of the Obligations of such Valero Affiliate shall have been finally, indefeasibly and unconditionally paid and performed in full and, upon such payment and performance, the Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Beneficiaries against the Valero Affiliate and the Beneficiaries agree to take such reasonable steps (at Guarantor’s cost and expense) as the Guarantor may reasonably request to implement such subrogation. Any claims of the Guarantor against any Valero Affiliate arising from payments made by the Guarantor by reason of this Guaranty shall be in all respects subordinated to the final, indefeasible, unconditional, full and complete payment, performance or discharge of all of the Obligations of such Valero Affiliate guaranteed hereby, and no payment by the Guarantor pursuant hereto shall give rise to any claim of the Guarantor against any Beneficiary.

 

14. Costs of Enforcement. The Guarantor agrees to pay all costs, expenses and fees, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees, which may be incurred by each Beneficiary in enforcing this Guaranty or protecting the rights of the Beneficiaries hereunder following any default on the part of the Guarantor hereunder, whether the same shall be enforced by suit or otherwise.

 

15. Consent to Jurisdiction. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or any transaction contemplated hereby may be instituted in any state or Federal court in the County of New York and State of New York and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor and each Beneficiary waive any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding.

 

16. Severability. Any provision of this Guaranty which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

17. Governing Law. This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without reference to conflicts of law principles thereof.

ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACTS

 

Exhibit A


ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACTS

THIS ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACTS (this “Assignment Agreement”) is executed by and between [VALERO AFFILIATE], a Delaware corporation (“Transferor”), and PAULSBORO REFINING COMPANY LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formerly known as Valero Refining Company-New Jersey (“Transferee”), dated as of              , 2010. Transferor and Transferee are referred to herein collectively as the “Parties”, and each individually a “Party”.

RECITALS

A. PBF Holdings Company LLC (“PBF”) and Valero Refining and Marketing Company (“VRMC”) entered into that certain Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), dated as [             ], 2010, for the purchase by PBF of the Shares.

B. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Transferee has agreed to assume, pay, perform and discharge when due all of the rights, obligations, interests and liabilities of Transferor under each of the agreements set forth on Schedule I hereto (the “Assigned Contracts”) arising on or after the Closing Date.

C. As a condition precedent to Closing under the Stock Purchase Agreement, PBF and VRMC require the execution of this Assignment Agreement.

D. It is the intention of Transferor and Transferee that by the execution and delivery of this Assignment Agreement, Transferor will assign to Transferee and Transferee will assume and will pay, perform and discharge when due, without recourse to Transferor, all of Transferor’s rights, obligations, interests and liabilities under the Assigned Contracts arising on or after the Closing Date.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants, undertakings and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, Transferor and Transferee, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms which are used but not otherwise defined in this Assignment Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

2. Assignment. Effective as of the Closing Date, Transferor hereby transfers, conveys, assigns and delivers to Transferee all of Transferor’s legal, beneficial and other rights, obligations, interests and liabilities under and with respect to each Seller Contract to which Transferor is a party subject to the terms of the Assigned Contracts regarding assignment.

3. Assumption. Transferee hereby unconditionally and absolutely (a) accepts the assignment of each Seller Contract, (b) agrees to honor and be bound by all of the terms, covenants and conditions of each Seller Contract, and (c) assumes and agrees to pay, perform and discharge all of Transferor’s rights, obligations, interests and liabilities under each Seller Contract arising on or after the Closing Date.

 

Exhibit A - 1


4. Third Party Approvals. If notice to, or the consent, authorization, permission or approval of, any third party (each, an “Approval” and collectively, the “Approvals”) is required for an assignment of any of the Assigned Contracts to be effective, the assignment to Transferee of such Assigned Contracts shall be effective upon the granting of such Approval. To the extent that the failure to obtain any Approval would give rise to the right on the part of any third party to terminate, or limit any right of Transferor or Transferee with respect to, any of the Assigned Contracts affected thereby, then any provision contained in this Assignment Agreement shall not become effective with respect to such Assigned Contracts unless and until such Approval has been obtained, waived or is no longer required. When such Approval has been obtained, waived or is no longer required, this Assignment Agreement shall automatically become effective without the need for any further action on the part of Transferor, Transferee or any other person and without payment of any further consideration. Until such time as any such Approval has been obtained or waived or is no longer required, Transferor and Transferee shall comply with their respective obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement with respect to any affected Seller Contract.

5. Further Assurances. Transferor shall take such commercially reasonable additional actions, including the execution, acknowledgment and delivery of other appropriate documents and instruments, as may be reasonably necessary in order to convey, transfer, assign and deliver to, and vest in, Transferee, its successors and assigns, the Assigned Contracts.

6. Stock Purchase Agreement Governs. This Assignment Agreement is delivered pursuant to and is subject to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement. In the event that any provision of this Assignment Agreement conflicts with any provision of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement shall control.

7. No Representations or Indemnity. Neither Transferor nor Transferee makes any representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, except as set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement. All claims, rights of indemnification and reciprocal covenants between Transferor and Transferee concerning the Assigned Contracts shall be exclusively governed by the Stock Purchase Agreement. Each of Transferor and Transferee acknowledges and agrees that the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, indemnities and limitations on liability contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement will not be superseded hereby but will remain in full force and effect to the full extent provided therein.

8. Successors and Assigns. This Assignment Agreement shall bind and shall inure to the benefit of the respective parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Assignment of this Assignment Agreement by either party shall be governed by the assignment provisions contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

9. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Assignment Agreement is intended to confer upon any Person other than Transferee, on the one hand, and Transferor, on the other hand, any rights or remedies hereunder. There are no third party beneficiaries hereof.

10. Choice of Law; Dispute Resolution. This Assignment 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 conflicts of laws rules as

 

Exhibit A - 2


applied in New York. All controversies or disputes arising out of and related to this Assignment Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Exhibit D of the Stock Purchase Agreement.

11. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Waiver. Each of the Parties hereto agrees, subject to Section 10, that it shall bring any action or proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this Assignment Agreement, whether in tort or contract or at law or in equity, exclusively in any federal or state court in the State of New York and solely in connection with such claims, if any, (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, (ii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in such courts, (iii) waives any objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over it and (iv) agrees that service of process upon it may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to it at its address specified in Section 14 of the Assignment Agreement. The foregoing consents to jurisdiction and service of process shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of New York for any purpose except as provided herein and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person (as such term is defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) other than the Parties hereto. Each of the Parties hereto knowingly and intentionally, irrevocably and unconditionally waives trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Assignment Agreement and for any counterclaim therein.

12. Availability of Equitable Relief. Each of the Parties hereto recognizes that irreparable injury will result from a breach of any provision of this Assignment Agreement and that money damages will be inadequate to fully remedy the injury. In order to prevent such irreparable injury, the arbitrators selected pursuant to Section 10 shall have the power to grant temporary or permanent injunctive or other equitable relief. Notwithstanding Section 10, prior to the appointment of the arbitrators, a Party hereto may, subject to this Section 12, seek temporary injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction; provided that the Party seeking such relief shall (if arbitration has not already been commenced) simultaneously commence arbitration in compliance with the dispute resolution procedures. Such court ordered relief shall not continue more than ten (10) days after the appointment of the arbitrators (or in any event for longer than sixty (60) days).

13. Counterparts. This Assignment 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. Signed counterparts of this Assignment Agreement may be delivered by facsimile and by scanned PDF image; provided that each Party hereto uses commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to each other Party hereto original signed counterparts as soon as possible thereafter.

ARTICLE II

GUARANTY OF OBLIGATIONS

Section 2.1 Guaranty. Subject to any rights, setoffs, counterclaims, and any other defenses that the Guarantor expressly reserves to itself under this Agreement, Guarantor hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees, undertakes and promises to cause, as herein provided, the due and punctual payment and the full and prompt performance by Obligor and its Affiliates of all of the amounts to be paid, including the payment of the Purchase Price and the indemnification obligations of Obligor, and all of the terms and provisions to be performed or observed by or on the part of Obligor or its Affiliates, under the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Other Agreements (all such terms and provisions as now or hereafter in existence being collectively called the “Obligations”), whether according to the present terms thereof, or pursuant to any change in the terms, covenants and conditions thereof at any time hereafter made or granted, including pursuant to any amendments, extensions or renewals of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Other Agreements or the Obligations. Guarantor agrees and acknowledges that no amendment, extension or renewal of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Other Agreements or the Obligations will discharge or otherwise affect the liability of Guarantor under this Agreement.

(b) In the event that Obligor or its Affiliates shall fail in any manner whatsoever to pay, perform or observe any of the Obligations, when and as the same shall be required to be paid, performed or observed under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Other Agreements, Guarantor will itself duly and punctually pay, or fully and promptly perform or observe, as the case may be, such Obligations, or cause the same to be duly and punctually paid, or fully and promptly performed or observed, in each case as if Guarantor were itself the obligor with respect to such Obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Other Agreements, as applicable.

Section 2.2 No Demand or Notice. It shall not be a condition to the guarantees and agreements set forth in Section 2.1 (the “Guaranty”) that Seller shall have first made any request of, or demand upon, or given any notice of the occurrence of a default under the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Other Agreements (unless such notice is specifically required under the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Other Agreements) or any other notice whatsoever to, Guarantor or Obligor or its Affiliates or any other Person, or shall have instituted any action or proceeding against Obligor or its Affiliates or any other Person in respect thereof, or shall have joined Obligor or its Affiliates in any such action or proceeding.

Section 2.3 Waiver of Resort to Security. Guarantor further agrees that this Agreement, insofar as it constitutes a guarantee of monetary Obligations, constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and Guarantor waives any right to require as a condition to its Guaranty that any resort be had by Seller to any security held for the payment of any Obligation.

 

Exhibit B-1-2


Section 2.4 No Discharge. The Guaranty is and shall remain absolute and unconditional irrespective of any circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor, as the case may be, with respect to its Guaranty.

Section 2.5 Waivers by Guarantor. Guarantor hereby waives with respect to its Guaranty but without prejudice to the rights of the parties to the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Other Agreements, any notice of acceptance of this Agreement by Seller, grace, presentment, demand, protest, notice of the occurrence of a default under the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Other Agreements and any other notice of any kind whatsoever and promptness in making any claim or demand hereunder.

(b) The Guaranty shall not be affected by (i) the failure of Seller to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Other Agreements or any agreement related to the foregoing or otherwise, (ii) any extension of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Other Agreements or any agreement related to the foregoing, (iv) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Other Agreements or of any agreement related to the foregoing, including any change in the time, manner or place of payment or performance of any of the obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Other Agreements or (v) the release of any security held for payment of any Obligations.

Section 2.6 No Reduction. The Guaranty shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, except as provided in Section 2.9.

Section 2.7 Enforcement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller may proceed to enforce the Guaranty against Guarantor without first pursuing or exhausting any right or remedy that Seller or any of its successors or assigns may have against Obligor or its Affiliates or any other Person.

Section 2.8 Continued Effectiveness. The Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation of Obligor or its Affiliates is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Person receiving such payment upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Obligor or its Affiliates, all as though such payment or part thereof had not been made.

Section 2.9 Certain Defenses. Nothing herein is intended to deny to Guarantor, and it is expressly agreed that Guarantor shall have and may assert, any and all the defenses, set-offs, counterclaims and other rights (other than those relating to insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization as described in Section 2.8) with regard to any Obligation that Obligor or its Affiliates may possess except any defense Obligor or its Affiliates may possess relating to lack of validity or enforceability of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Other Agreements or any other agreement or instrument relating to the foregoing as against Obligor or its Affiliates arising from (a) the defective incorporation or other defective organization of Obligor or its Affiliates, (b) Obligor’s or its Affiliates’ lack of qualification to do business in any applicable jurisdiction or (c) Obligor’s or its Affiliates’ defective corporate or other organizational authority to enter into, deliver or perform the Stock Purchase Agreement or any Other Agreements.

The foregoing consents to jurisdiction and service of process shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of New York for any purpose except as provided herein and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than Guarantor and Seller.

Guarantor agrees and acknowledges that no amendment, extension or renewal of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Other Agreements or the Obligations will discharge or otherwise affect the liability of Guarantor under this Agreement.

(b) In the event that Obligor shall fail in any manner whatsoever to pay, perform or observe any of the Obligations, when and as the same shall be required to be paid, performed or observed under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Other Agreements, Guarantor will itself duly and punctually pay, or fully and promptly perform or observe, as the case may be, such Obligations, or cause the same to be duly and punctually paid, or fully and promptly performed or observed, in each case as if Guarantor were itself the obligor with respect to such Obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Other Agreements, as applicable.

Section 2.2 No Demand or Notice. It shall not be a condition to the guarantees and agreements set forth in Section 2.1 (the “Guaranty”) that Buyer shall have first made any request of, or demand upon, or given any notice of the occurrence of a default under the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Other Agreements (unless such notice is specifically required under the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Other Agreements) or any other notice whatsoever to, Guarantor or Obligor or any other Person, or shall have instituted any action or proceeding against Obligor or any other Person in respect thereof, or shall have joined Obligor in any such action or proceeding.

(b) Buyer in asserting the benefit of the Guaranty shall give prompt notice to Guarantor of any failure by Obligor to pay, perform or observe any Obligation; provided, however, that any failure, delay or defect in the giving of such notice shall not alter or affect the Guaranty under this Agreement.

Section 2.3 Waiver of Resort to Security. Guarantor further agrees that this Agreement, insofar as it constitutes a guarantee of monetary Obligations, constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and Guarantor waives any right to require as a condition to its Guaranty that any resort be had by Buyer to any security held for the payment of any Obligation.

 

Exhibit B-2-2


Section 2.4 No Discharge. The Guaranty is and shall remain absolute and unconditional irrespective of any circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor, as the case may be, with respect to its Guaranty.

Section 2.5 Waivers by Guarantor. Guarantor hereby waives with respect to its Guaranty but without prejudice to the rights of the parties to the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Other Agreements, any notice of acceptance of this Agreement by Buyer, grace, presentment, demand, protest, notice of the occurrence of a default under the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Other Agreements and any other notice of any kind whatsoever and promptness in making any claim or demand hereunder.

(b) The Guaranty shall not be affected by (i) the failure of Buyer to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Other Agreements or any agreement related to the foregoing or otherwise, (ii) any extension of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Other Agreements or any agreement related to the foregoing, (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Other Agreements or of any agreement related to the foregoing, including any change in the time, manner or place of payment or performance of any of the obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Other Agreements, or (iv) the release of any security held for payment of any Obligations.

Section 2.6 No Reduction. The Guaranty shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, except as provided in Section 2.9.

Section 2.7 Enforcement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer may proceed to enforce the Guaranty against Guarantor without first pursuing or exhausting any right or remedy that Buyer or any of its successors or assigns may have against Obligor or any other Person.

Section 2.8 Continued Effectiveness. The Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation of Obligor is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Person receiving such payment upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Obligor, all as though such payment or part thereof had not been made.

Section 2.9 Certain Defenses. Nothing herein is intended to deny to Guarantor, and it is expressly agreed that Guarantor shall have and may assert, any and all the defenses, set-offs, counterclaims and other rights (other than those relating to insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization as described in Section 2.8) with regard to any Obligation that Obligor may possess except any defense Obligor may possess relating to lack of validity or enforceability of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Other Agreements or any other agreement or instrument relating to the foregoing as against Obligor arising from (a) the defective incorporation or other defective organization of Obligor, (b) Obligor’s lack of qualification to do business in any applicable jurisdiction or (c) Obligor’s defective corporate or other organizational authority to enter into, deliver or perform the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Other Agreements.

Purpose and Availability:   

(A) Term Loan Facility

 

The full amount of the Term Loan Facility must be drawn in a single drawing on or after the date (not to exceed ten (10) days) on which the Acquisition is consummated (the “Closing Date”) and applied to consummate the Acquisition and the other Transactions as set forth in the Transaction Description.

EXHIBIT A TO EXHIBIT C

 

  Reserves” shall be determined by the Collateral Agent from time to time, acting reasonably and in good faith, pursuant to standards and practices generally applied by the Collateral Agent (from the standpoint of an asset-based lender) to borrowing base debtors in the refining markets, and shall not limit availability on the Borrowing Base on account of conditions or circumstances already addressed in the eligibility criteria for the assets in the Borrowing Base and/or otherwise result in a duplicative adverse impact on availability under the Borrowing Base and shall not include Hedging Reserves. Once the Reserves have been so determined by the Collateral Agent, the Reserves will not be changed in a manner adverse to the Borrowers except to address circumstances, conditions, events or contingencies underlying the determination of the Reserves that adversely impact the value of the Borrowing Base, and then only in a manner and to an extent that bears a reasonable relationship to changes in circumstances, conditions, events or contingencies; provided that circumstances, conditions, events or contingencies arising prior to the Closing Date of which the Collateral Agent has actual knowledge prior to the Closing Date shall not be the basis for any establishment or modification of any Reserve unless such circumstances, conditions, events or contingencies shall have changed since the Closing Date.
  As used herein, “Availability” shall mean the lesser of (i) the then current aggregate commitments of the Lenders under the ABL Facility and (ii) the Borrowing Base.
  Excess Availability” shall mean, at any time, an amount equal to (A)(i) the then effective Availability, minus (ii) the aggregate Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans then outstanding under the ABL Facility, plus (B) the Suppressed Availability.
  Suppressed Availability” equals the amount by which the Borrowing Base exceeds the aggregate commitments of the Lenders under the ABL Facility.
  The Borrowing Base shall be computed on a monthly basis pursuant to a borrowing base certificate to be delivered by the Borrowers to the Agent and Collateral Agent within 20 days after the last day of each month, provided that any time the Excess Availability under the ABL Facility is less than 20.00% of the then existing Availability under the ABL Facility (the “Threshold Amount”) for a period in excess of three (3) continuing business days, the Borrower shall provide weekly Borrowing Bases until Excess Availability shall have exceeded the Threshold Amount for at least ten (10) consecutive business days.

EXHIBIT A TO EXHIBIT C

 

   In order to qualify as “eligible receivables” for purposes of the Borrowing Base, receivables owed by Valero Energy Corporation as a purchaser of asphalt or other inventory will be required to be subject to customary and appropriate waiver of offset rights arrangements in respect of obligations owed under the Seller Note or the Acquisition Agreement.
   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Commitment Letter, this Term Sheet or the Fee Letter, receivables payable by Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. (“MSCG”) on account of crude and other hydrocarbons inventory sold to the Credit Parties by Statoil Marketing & Trading (US) Inc., MSCG and/or their affiliates (the “MSCG Asset”) will not be given credit for purposes of the Borrowing Base unless and to the extent actually paid in cash to a Deposit Account of the Credit Parties, and shall not be part of the Collateral except to the extent so paid in cash.
   Any ABL collateral will only be included in the Borrowing Base once the Agent has performed a field exam and inventory appraisal reasonably satisfactory to it and the ABL Lenders as set forth in paragraph 6 of Exhibit D.
   The entire ABL Facility shall be available for the issuance of letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”) by Lenders to be agreed upon (in such capacity, the “Issuing Lender”). No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date after the earlier of (i) one year (or such longer period as the Issuing Lender may agree) after the date of issuance and (ii) five business days prior to the Revolving Termination Date (as defined below), provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) above).
   Drawings under any Letter of Credit shall be reimbursed by the Borrowers (whether with their own funds or with the proceeds of the revolving loans), on the same business day if the relevant drawing occurred on or prior to 11:00a.m. on such business day, or otherwise on the next business day. To the extent that Borrowers do not so reimburse the Issuing Lender within the terms set forth in the prior sentence, the Lenders under the ABL Facility shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the Issuing Lender on a pro rata basis.
   A portion of the ABL Facility not in excess of an amount to be agreed upon shall be available for swingline loans (the

 

B-4


EXHIBIT A TO EXHIBIT C

 

   Swingline Loans”) from one or more Lenders to be agreed upon (in such capacity, the “Swingline Lender”) on same-day notice. Any such Swingline Loans will reduce availability under the ABL Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Each Lender under the ABL Facility shall acquire, under certain circumstances, an irrevocable and unconditional pro rata participation in each Swingline Loan.
Final Maturity and Amortization:

EXHIBIT A TO EXHIBIT C

 

  

At the election of the Borrowers, Subsidiaries that are formed or acquired after the Closing Date may be excluded from becoming guarantors of the obligations under the Senior Secured Facilities and providing liens on their assets in respect thereof, and or otherwise become “Guarantors” and “Credit Parties”. Such excluded subsidiaries are referred to as “Excluded Subsidiaries.” For the avoidance of doubt, any assets of any such Excluded Subsidiaries shall not be “Collateral” and shall not given credit for purposes of the Borrowing Base.

 

Each guarantor of any of the Senior Secured Facilities is herein referred to as a “Guarantor” and its guarantee is referred to herein as a “Guarantee”. The Borrowers and the Guarantors (other than the Parent) are herein referred to collectively as the “Credit Parties”.

Collateral / Priority:   

The Term Loan Facility and the Guarantees of the Term Loan Facility will be secured by (collectively, the “Term Loan Collateral”):

 

(i)      a first priority lien on all of the plant, property and equipment owned by DCR;

 

(ii)     a second priority lien on all deposit accounts (other than petty-cash accounts, zero-balance accounts, trust accounts and/or payroll accounts) (the “Deposit Accounts”) accounts receivable and hydrocarbon inventory and related instruments, letters of credit, letter of credit rights, credit support, insurance, chattel paper, documents, supporting obligations, related payment intangibles, cash, other related rights, claims, causes of action, books and records, accounting systems and other similar personal property (the “Related Personal Property”) (which, Related Personal Property, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include in any event plant, property and equipment and Intermediate Products) owned by Paulsboro and DCR (and for the avoidance of doubt not including the MSCG Asset);

 

“Intermediate Products” means hydrocarbons intermediate products and blendstocks.

 

(iii)   a second priority lien on the plant, property and equipment (including spare parts, precious metals catalysts and intellectual property rights required in connection with the operation of the Paulsboro refinery) owned by Paulsboro;

 

(iv)    a first priority pledge of the equity in the Borrowers and in Domestic Subsidiaries owned by the Borrowers or any Guarantor (other than Paulsboro);

(vi)    a second priority pledge of the equity in Paulsboro.

  The ABL Facility and the Guarantees of the ABL Facility will be secured by (collectively, the “ABL Collateral”):
 

(i)      a first priority lien on all Deposit Accounts, accounts receivable and hydrocarbon inventory and Related Personal Property owned by Paulsboro and DCR;

 

(ii)     a second priority lien on all of the plant, property and equipment owned by DCR;

(iv)    a second priority pledge of the equity in the Borrowers and in Domestic Subsidiaries of the Borrowers owned by any Borrower or any Guarantor (other than Paulsboro)

 

(v)     a third priority pledge of the equity in Paulsboro; and

 

(vi)    a second priority lien on substantially all assets of Holdings (other than the equity of Paulsboro) and the other Guarantors (other than DCR and Paulsboro), including, without limitation, PBF Power Marketing and Delaware Pipeline.

  Obligations with respect to interest rate hedges and commodity hedging agreements entered into with a person that at such time was a Lender or an affiliate of a Lender shall be secured by a lien on the ABL Collateral pari passu with the lien of the lenders under the ABL Facility; provided, that the obligations in respect of such interest rate hedges and commodity hedging agreements are subject to Hedging Reserves against the Borrowing Base. To the extent that obligations in respect of interest rate hedges and commodity hedging agreements entered into with a Lender or an affiliate of a Lender exceed Hedging Reserves against the Borrowing Base (such excess, the “Last-Out Portion”), the full amount of the Last-Out Portion shall be secured by the ABL

EXHIBIT A TO EXHIBIT C

 

  Collateral, but shall be “last out” in the “waterfall”. A Lender or an affiliate of a Lender which enters into an interest rate hedge or commodity hedging agreement shall notify the Agent and Collateral Agent prior to entering into it. Collateral Agent, in consultation with such notifying Lender or affiliate of a Lender, shall determine reasonably and in good faith from the perspective of an asset-based lender an appropriate reserve against the Borrowing Base with respect to the exposures of the Credit Parties in respect of such interest rate hedge or commodity hedging agreement (each such reserve, a “Hedging Reserve” and, collectively, the “Hedging Reserves”). The maximum amount of (i) obligations with respect to interest rate hedges and commodity hedging agreements entered into with a Lender or an affiliate of a Lender that are secured by a lien on the ABL Collateral that is pari passu with the lien of the Lenders under the ABL Facility therein, and (ii) Hedging Reserves shall in each case set forth in (i) and (ii) above in no event exceed $20,000,000.
  The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to exercise cash dominion over funds held in the Deposit Accounts at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or Excess Availability under the ABL Facility is less than the Threshold Amount for a period in excess of five continuing business days, which cash dominion exercise shall continue until such Event of Default has been cured or waived and/or Excess Availability under the ABL Facility shall have exceeded the Threshold Amount for thirty (30) consecutive days. For the avoidance of doubt, there will be no cash sweep, “closed lock-box” or other similar cash dominion or cash management feature for the benefit of the Lenders except during such periods as described in this paragraph.
  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Borrowers nor any Guarantor shall be required to create or perfect a security interest in any of the foregoing property to the extent prohibited by contractual provisions (other than the Seller Note or the DEDA (Delaware) Industrial Revenue Bonds) or applicable legal provisions, to the extent such property consists of motor vehicles or leasehold mortgages, or in the case of any properties and assets as to which the Collateral Agent determines in its reasonable discretion that the costs of obtaining such security interest are excessive in relation to the value of the security to be afforded thereby (all such non-excluded property, the “Collateral”).
  All the above-described pledges, security interests and mortgages shall be created on terms, and pursuant to documentation consistent with Sponsor Precedent and otherwise

 

B-8


EXHIBIT A TO EXHIBIT C

 

  

reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, and none of the Collateral shall be subject to any other pledges, security interests or mortgages (except permitted liens, including liens disclosed in the Acquisition Agreement and the schedules thereto that are of a nature that would be customary to remain in place after consummation of the Acquisition), and subject to exceptions consistent with Sponsor Precedent or as otherwise agreed upon.

 

All obligations of the Borrowers under each interest rate protection agreement and cash management agreement entered into with a Lender or any affiliate of a Lender will be secured pari passu (subject to customary contractual priority of payments waterfall terms) by a first priority lien on all and the same assets on which Lenders under the Term Loan Facility or ABL Facility received a first priority lien.

 

To the extent this section “Collateral” provides that the Term Loan Facility and/or the ABL Facility will be secured by a lien on assets of Paulsboro other than a first priority lien on assets of Paulsboro, the Term Loan Facility will be subordinated both as to right of payment and as to priority of liens to that extent, and the ABL Facility will be subordinated as to priority of liens to that extent.

Facilities Documentation:    For the purposes hereof, each reference to “Sponsor Precedent” shall mean documentation for similar financings or transactions with the Sponsor or its affiliates which have occurred in the last 18 months, and in any event credit documentation customary and appropriate for Borrowers in the refining markets as reasonably agreed upon by the parties which shall in any event reflect the operational and strategic requirements of the Borrowers and their subsidiaries in light of their size, industries, practices and proposed business plan agreed to reasonably and in good faith. The Facilities Documentation for the Facility shall contain only those payments, conditions to borrowing, mandatory prepayments, representations, warranties, covenants and events of default expressly set forth in this Exhibit B, in each case, applicable to the Borrowers and their subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries) and with standards, qualifications, thresholds, exceptions, “baskets” and grace and cure periods agreed to reasonably and in good faith consistent with the Sponsor Precedent as applied to transactions of this kind.
Optional Prepayments and Reductions in Commitments:    Optional prepayments of borrowings under the Senior Secured Facilities, and optional reductions of the unutilized portion of the ABL Facility commitments, will be permitted at any time, in minimum principal amounts to be agreed, without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of the Lenders’ redeploymentcosts in the case of a prepayment of LIBOR borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period.

Loans under the ABL Facility shall be prepaid ratably (i) at any time the total outstandings exceed the lesser of (a) the then effective Borrowing Base and (b) the aggregate commitments under the ABL Facility in an aggregate amount necessary to eliminate such excess, and (ii) subsequent to the sale or disposition of any assets in the Borrowing Base outside the ordinary course of business and subject to such exceptions to be agreed upon.

Application of Prepayments:   

All mandatory prepayments of the Term Loan Facility shall be applied thereto ratably among the Lenders thereunder, and to the installments thereof as follows: first, in direct order of maturity of the remaining installments of the Term Loan Facility for 18 months following the relevant prepayment event, and second, ratably to the remaining installments of the Term Loan Facility. All prepayments of the ABL Facility shall be applied thereto ratably among the Lenders thereunder. All optional prepayments applicable to the Term Loan Facility shall be applied to the remaining amortization payments thereunder as elected by the Borrowers. Amounts prepaid in respect of the term loans under the Term Loan Facility may not be reborrowed.

 

At the option of the Borrowers, each Lender under the Term Loan Facility shall have the right to decline any mandatory prepayment of its Loans under the Term Loan Facility, in which case the amount of such prepayment shall be retained by the Borrowers.

2. Equity Financing. The Equity Financing described in the Transaction Description shall have been consummated in at least the amount specified therein. To the extent not comprised of common equity, the terms and conditions of the Equity Financing shall be reasonably satisfactory in all material respects to the Agent.

4. Pro Forma Financial Statements. The Agent shall have received a pro forma consolidated balance sheet (calculated at the most recent available balance sheet date) of the Borrowers and an income statement of the Borrowers for the twelve months most recently at the Closing Date, substantially in the form of the Sponsor’s financial model previously delivered to the Agent and prepared after giving effect to the Transactions and such other adjustments as shall be agreed between the Borrowers and the Agent as if such transactions or adjustments had occurred as of such date, together with a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Borrowers to the effect that such balance sheet accurately presents in all material respects the pro forma financial position of the Borrowers and their subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP.

5. Solvency. The Agent shall have received a solvency certificate from chief executive officer or a financial officer of the Borrowers, in customary form, confirming the solvency of the Borrowers and their subsidiaries on a consolidated basis after giving effect to the Transactions.

Notwithstanding anything in the Commitment Letter or in any other agreement or undertaking to the contrary, the terms of the Facilities Documentation shall be in a form such that they do not impair availability of the Senior Secured Facilities on the Closing Date if the conditions expressly set forth in the Commitment Letter are satisfied (it being understood that, to the extent a perfected security interest in any Collateral (the security interest in respect of which cannot be perfected by means of the filing of a UCC financing statement or delivery of possession of capital stock) is not able to be provided on the Closing Date after the Borrowers’ use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so, the providing of a perfected security interest in such Collateral shall not constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Senior Secured Facilities on the Closing Date but a perfected security interest in such Collateral shall be required to be provided after the Closing Date pursuant to arrangements to be mutually agreed between the Borrowers and the Agent).

DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURES

 

Exhibit D


DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURES

Terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of [            ], 2010, by and between Valero Refining and Marketing Company and PBF Holding Company LLC (the “Agreement”).

(1) Binding and Exclusive Means. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 12.10 of the Agreement, but subject to Section 12.9 of the Agreement, the dispute resolution provisions set forth in this Exhibit D shall be the binding and exclusive means to fully and finally resolve any and all disputes arising under the Agreement (each a “Dispute”); provided, however, that this Exhibit D shall not limit any party’s recourse to courts of competent jurisdiction for injunctive or equitable relief that may be necessary to protect the rights and property of such party or maintain the status quo during the pendency of the process set forth in this Exhibit D.

(2) Standards and Criteria. In resolving any Dispute, the standards and criteria for resolving such Dispute shall, unless the Parties involved in the Dispute in their discretion jointly stipulate otherwise, be as set forth in Attachment 1 to this Exhibit D.

(3) ADR and Binding Arbitration Procedures. If a Dispute arises, the following procedures shall be implemented (with references to “Parties” meaning all of the Parties involved in the Dispute and “Party” meaning a single Party involved on the Dispute):

(a) Any Party may at any time invoke the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Exhibit D as to any Dispute by providing written notice of such action to the other Parties. The disputing Parties within five (5) Business Days after such notice shall schedule a meeting between the Parties to be held in New York, New York, or at such other place as the Parties may mutually agree. The meeting shall occur within ten (10) Business Days after notice of the meeting is delivered to the Parties. The meeting shall be attended by senior management level personnel of each of the Parties. Such Persons shall attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute, which negotiations may entail the involvement of and meetings attended by additional senior management level personnel senior to such Persons. If such senior management level personnel shall not have negotiated a resolution to the dispute within sixty (60) days of the initial notice of such Dispute, then a meeting attended by either the Chief Executive Officer or a senior executive officer designated by the Chief Executive Officer, of each ultimate parent company of each of the Parties shall occur in New York, New York, or at such other place as the Parties may mutually agree, and such Persons shall attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute before these procedures may be deemed to have been exhausted. If such Persons succeed in negotiating a resolution of the Dispute, one or more Parties shall be directed (in as comprehensive detail as reasonably practicable) to take the actions necessary to carry out such resolution. Unless mutually agreed to between the Parties, each Party shall have ninety (90) days in which to take such actions (a “Cure Period”).

(b) As part of the process set forth in subsection (a), or if following the Cure Period, a Party believes in good faith that a Dispute still exists, the representatives of the Parties shall cooperate in good faith and shall explore whether techniques such as mediation, minitrials, mock trials or other techniques of alternative dispute resolution might be useful, although each Party may agree or decline to participate in such techniques of alternative dispute resolution at its sole

 

Exhibit D-1


discretion. In the event that a technique of alternative dispute resolution is so agreed upon, a specific timetable and completion date for its implementation shall also be agreed upon. The representatives will continue to meet and discuss settlement until the date (the “Interim Decision Date”) that is the earliest to occur of the following events: (i) an agreement shall be reached by the Parties resolving the Dispute; (ii) if a technique of alternative dispute resolution is agreed upon, the completion date therefor shall occur without the Parties having resolved the Dispute; or (iii) if a technique of alternative dispute resolution is not agreed upon, the earlier to occur of (x) the Chief Executive Officers of the Parties (or their respective designees) shall have met without the Parties having resolved the Dispute or (y) ninety (90) days after the date of the original notice. Unless the Parties expressly agree otherwise, the contents of any negotiations pursuant to this subsection (b) (including but not limited to any documents or correspondence exchanged by the Parties) shall be confidential among the Parties, and shall not be admissible in any subsequent judicial or arbitral proceedings.

(c) If, as of the Interim Decision Date, the Parties have not succeeded in negotiating a resolution of the Dispute pursuant to subsection (b), the Parties shall proceed under subsections (d), (e) and (f).

(d) After satisfying the requirements above, such Dispute shall be submitted to mandatory and binding arbitration at the election of any Party involved in the Dispute (the “Disputing Party”). The arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act as supplemented by the conditions set forth in this Exhibit D. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in effect on the date the notice of arbitration is served, other than as specifically modified herein. In the absence of an agreement to the contrary, the arbitration shall be held in New York, New York. The Arbitrators (as defined below) will allow reasonable discovery in the forms permitted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, to the extent consistent with the purpose of the arbitration. During the pendency of the Dispute, each Party shall make available to the Arbitrators and the other Parties all books, records and other information within its control pertaining to the Dispute requested by the other Parties or the Arbitrators subject to the confidentiality provisions contained herein. Recognizing the express desire of the Parties for an expeditious means of dispute resolution, the Arbitrators may limit the scope of discovery between the Parties as may be reasonable under the circumstances. In deciding the substance of the Parties’ claims, the laws of the State of New York shall govern the construction, interpretation and effect of the Agreement, without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles. The arbitration hearing shall be commenced promptly and conducted expeditiously, with each Party involved in the Dispute being allocated an equal amount of time for the presentation of its case. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, the arbitration hearing shall be conducted on consecutive days. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the arbitration proceedings and award shall be maintained in confidence by the Arbitrators and the Parties.

(e) The Disputing Party shall notify the AAA and the other Parties in writing describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Dispute (the “Dispute Notice”). Each Party to the dispute shall select one (1) arbitrator (the “Selected Arbitrators”) reasonably believed by such Party to be experienced in commercial arbitration and familiar with the operation and management of crude oil refineries no later than fifteen (15) days after the date of the Dispute Notice. The Selected Arbitrators shall then jointly select a presiding arbitrator (together with the

 

Exhibit D-2


Selected Arbitrators, the “Arbitrators”) from the members of a panel of arbitrators of the AAA or, if the AAA fails or refuses to provide a list of potential arbitrators, the Center for Public Resources, and such Arbitrator shall be experienced in commercial arbitration and familiar with the operation and management of crude oil refineries. In the event that the Selected Arbitrators are unable to agree on the selection of the presiding Arbitrator, the AAA shall select the presiding Arbitrator, using the criteria set forth in this Exhibit D, within thirty (30) days after the date of the Dispute Notice. For the purposes of appointing Arbitrators under this subsection (e), (i) Seller, and all Persons whose interest in the Agreement derives from Seller (including Valero) shall be considered as one Party; and (ii) Buyer and all Persons whose interest in the Agreement derives from Buyer shall be considered as another Party. In the event that any Arbitrator is unable to serve, his or her replacement will be selected in the same manner as the Arbitrator to be replaced. The vote of two (2) of the three (3) Arbitrators shall be required for any award under this Exhibit D. During the pendency of the Dispute (i) all costs and expenses incurred by a Party in connection with the Dispute that are required to be paid during the pendency of the Dispute (other than costs and expenses of the Arbitrators) shall be paid by the Party that incurs such cost and (ii) each Party shall pay an equal share of the costs and expenses of the Arbitrators; provided, however, that all costs and expenses (including the Arbitrators’ and attorneys’ fees and expenses) of the prevailing Party will be borne by the non-prevailing Party and the non-prevailing Party shall reimburse the prevailing Party for any costs it incurred during the pendency of the Dispute, provided that the award of the Arbitrators specifies (and the Arbitrators are hereby instructed and authorized to so specify if in their determination such specification is feasible) that a Party has prevailed with respect to a preponderance of the Disputes determined by the Arbitrators. If there is no specified prevailing Party, the Arbitrators shall have the authority and discretion to assess the costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding against all of the Parties as the Arbitrators deem appropriate although the Arbitrators shall not be required to do so.

(f) The Arbitrators shall decide all Disputes and all substantive and procedural issues related thereto, and shall enforce the Agreement in accordance with its terms, including the remedies provided in the Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the previous sentence, the Arbitrators shall have the authority to issue injunctive relief; provided, however, the Arbitrators shall not have any power or authority to (i) award consequential, incidental, indirect or punitive damages except where the Agreement specifically provides for such damages, or (ii) amend the Agreement. The Arbitrators shall render the arbitration award, in writing, within twenty (20) days following the completion of the arbitration hearing, and shall set forth the reasons for the award. In the event that the Arbitrators award monetary damages in favor of either party, the Arbitrators must certify in the award that no consequential, incidental, indirect or punitive damages are included in such award. If the Arbitrator’s decision results in a monetary award, the interest on such award shall accrue on the award at the Applicable Rate, compounded quarterly, until such amount, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, are paid in full. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the Parties, and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction and may not be appealed, except to the extent permitted by the Federal Arbitration Act.

(4) Continuation of Business. Notwithstanding the existence of any Dispute or the pendency of any procedures pursuant to this Exhibit D, the Parties agree and undertake that all payments shall continue to be made and that all obligations shall continue to be performed.

 

Exhibit D-3


(5) Confidentiality. Subject to the proper judicial enforcement of this Exhibit D, including the filing of an award pursuant to Section 3(f) hereof, the award or other related rights of the Parties, the fact of the arbitration, the arbitration proceeding itself, all evidence, memorials, or other documents exchanged or used in the arbitration and the arbitrators’ award shall be maintained in confidence by the Parties to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, unless required to be disclosed by applicable Law (including securities Laws) or any applicable requirements of self regulatory organizations or compelled by court order or applicable rules of discovery or litigation. However, a violation of this covenant shall not affect the enforceability of the agreement to arbitrate or of the award of the Arbitrators.

(6) Separability and Survival of Agreement to Arbitrate. These dispute resolution procedures constitute a severable and independent arbitration agreement that shall be separately enforceable from the remainder of the Agreement. The Parties agree that these dispute resolution procedures shall continue in effect even if one or more provisions of the Agreement shall be determined to be null or void.

(7) Agreement Governs. These dispute resolution are subject to the terms of the Agreement. In the event that any provision of these dispute resolution procedures conflicts with any provision of the Agreement, the provisions of the Agreement shall control.

 

Exhibit D-4


ATTACHMENT 1 TO EXHIBIT D

(a) First priority shall be given to maximizing the consistency of the resolution of the Dispute with the satisfaction of all express obligations of the Parties and their respective Affiliates as set forth in the Agreement.

(b) Second priority shall be given to such other matters, if any, as the Parties or the Arbitrators shall determine to be appropriate under the circumstances.

If a Seller Indemnitee has recovered any Losses pursuant to one subsection of this Section 6.2 or under the SPA, such Seller Indemnitee shall not be entitled to recover the same Losses under another subsection of this Section 6.2 or under the SPA.

No Claim may be made against Buyer for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2(a): (i) with respect to any individual action, occurrence or event subject to the indemnifications thereunder (or group of related actions, occurrences or events) unless the aggregate Loss of the Seller Indemnitees with respect thereto exceeds $50,000 (nor shall any Loss below such threshold be applied to or considered for purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of the Seller Indemnitees’ Losses) and (ii) unless the aggregate amount of all Losses of the Seller Indemnitees with respect to Section 6.2(a) and under Section 12.3(a)(i) and Section 12.3(a)(ii) of the SPA shall exceed the Indemnification Deductible (after which Buyer shall be obligated only to indemnify the Seller Indemnitees from and against aggregate Losses in excess of the Indemnification Deductible). The maximum amount that Buyer shall be required to pay pursuant to Section 6.2(a) in respect of all Losses by all Seller Indemnitees shall equal $42,500,000, after which point Buyer will have no obligation to indemnify the Seller Indemnitees from and against further such Losses; provided, however, such limit shall be reduced to the extent of Losses paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 12.3(a)(i) and Section 12.3(a)(ii) of the SPA.

Section 6.3 Indemnification Procedures: Matters Involving Third Parties. A Seller Indemnitee or Buyer Indemnitee, as the case may be (for purposes of this Section 6.3, an “Indemnified Party”), shall give the indemnifying party under Section 6.1 and Section 6.2, as applicable (for purposes of this Section 6.3, an “Indemnifying Party”), prompt written notice of any matter which it has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from its Obligations under this Article 6 except to the extent, and only to the extent, the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure or to the extent the survival period, if applicable, expires pursuant to Section 6.4 prior to the giving of such notice.

 

- 17 -


  (a) If any third party shall notify an Indemnified Party with respect to any matter (a “Third-Party Claim”) that may give rise to a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party under this Article 6, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days after receiving notice of the Third-Party Claim) notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from its Obligations under this Article 6 except to the extent, and only to the extent, the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure.

 

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

 

  (c) Unless and until the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim as provided in Section 6.3, the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate.

 

  (d) In no event will the Indemnified Party consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third- Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld), unless the Indemnified Party waives its right to indemnification under this Agreement.

Section 6.4 Survival. Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Agreement, the representations and warranties of the parties hereto contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect for a period of twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date; provided, however any indemnification Claim received by the Indemnifying Party within such twenty-four (24) month year period shall survive until the resolution of such Claim.

Section 6.5 Determination of Losses. The Losses giving rise to any indemnification obligation hereunder shall be reduced by any insurance or other proceeds actually received by

 

- 18 -


the Indemnified Party as a result of the events giving rise to the claim for indemnification, net of any expenses related to the receipt of such proceeds, including retrospective premium adjustments, if any and self-insured retentions. The amount of the indemnity payment shall be computed by taking into account the timing of the loss or payment, as applicable, at the Applicable Rate from the date the Indemnified Party provides notice of the Loss to the Indemnifying Party until the date paid. Upon the request of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with information sufficient to allow the Indemnifying Party to calculate the amount of the indemnity payment in accordance with this Section 6.5. An Indemnified Party shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate damages in respect of any Claim for which it is seeking indemnification and shall use reasonable efforts to avoid any costs or expenses associated with such Claim and, if such costs and expenses cannot be avoided, to minimize the amount thereof; provided, that except as set forth in the immediately succeeding sentence, an Indemnified Party shall have no obligation to make a claim for recovery against any insurer of such Indemnified Party with respect to any such Losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Buyer Indemnitee has recourse against the environmental insurance policy to be provided by Seller pursuant to Article 7 of this Agreement for any Losses otherwise payable by Seller under this Agreement, such Buyer Indemnitee shall be required to look first to such policy for recovery of such Losses before seeking payment from Seller.

EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF FRAUD, ALL RELEASES, DISCLAIMERS, LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNITIES IN THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THOSE IN THIS ARTICLE 6, SHALL APPLY EVEN IN THE EVENT OF THE SOLE, JOINT AND/OR CONCURRENT, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR FAULT OF THE PARTY WHOSE LIABILITY IS RELEASED, DISCLAIMED, LIMITED OR INDEMNIFIED.

3.1.2 Delivery of Estimated Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount. No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer the Estimated Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount.

3.1.3 Payment of Estimated Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount. At the Closing, in consideration of Seller’s assignment and conveyance of the Feedstock and Products Inventory, Buyer shall pay to Seller, by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds, the Estimated Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount.

3.1.4 Inventory Report. Within ten (10) Business Days after the Closing Date, the Petroleum Inspection Company shall provide the Parties with a physical inventory report setting forth the quantity (which shall be temperature, API gravity, bottom sediment & water (BS&W), and pressure corrected) and qualitative laboratory results of the Feedstock and Products Inventory (excluding In-Transit Inventory, Refinery OSBL Line Fill, and Retained Feedstock and Products).

During a fifteen (15) day review period following receipt by both Parties of the physical inventory report, either Party may question the calculations and/or laboratory results set forth therein and the members of the Inventory Committee shall resolve any outstanding quantity and quality disputes. At the end of such review period and following resolution of all quantity and quality disputes, the quantity and quality entries set forth in the adjusted physical inventory report, for each of the Feedstock and Products Inventory, will become the official quantity and quality measurements of the Feedstock and Products Inventory as of the Inventory Transfer Time and the physical inventory report, as may be revised pursuant to the foregoing, will become the “Final Inventory Report”.

3.1.5 Feedstock and Products Sales Statement. On or before ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall calculate the Final Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount by using (i) the quantity and quality measurements set forth in the Final Inventory Report prepared in accordance with Section 3.1.4 and Exhibit A, and (ii) with respect to any Crude Oil In-Transit Inventory, bills of lading, shore meters or other appropriate statements evidencing the volume thereof. The various quantities set forth therein shall be multiplied by the relevant price formulas set forth in Part II of Exhibit A, and Seller shall deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Feedstock and Products Sales Statement”) setting forth the Final Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount, together with supporting calculations and documentation used to determine the Final Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount. Unless Buyer gives notice to Seller on or before thirty (30) calendar days after Buyer’s receipt of the Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Statement that Buyer disputes the Final Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount specified in the Feedstock and Products Sales Statement, the Final Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount shall be as specified in the Feedstock and Products Sales Price Statement. If Buyer gives timely notice to Seller that it disputes the Final Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Price (or the final quantity or price of In-Transit Inventory) specified in the Feedstock and Products Sales Price Statement, Seller and Buyer shall consult in good faith and use all reasonable efforts to agree upon the calculation of the Final Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Price. If Seller and Buyer have not agreed on the Final Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Price within fifteen (15) calendar days after Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s dispute notice, either Seller or Buyer shall have the right to submit such

EXHIBIT A

FEEDSTOCK AND PRODUCTS

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES AND PRICING

The Feedstock and Product Inventory Sales Agreement (the “Agreement”) to which this Exhibit A (“Exhibit A”) relates and forms a part, provides that the Feedstock and Products Inventory will be measured and valued in accordance with this Exhibit A.

Part I of this Exhibit A sets forth the procedures for conducting the physical inventory of the Feedstock and Products Inventory (other than the In-Transit Inventory, which shall be estimated or otherwise calculated in accordance with the specific applicable provisions hereof but not subject to a physical inventory as of the Closing, and the Refinery OSBL Line Fill which shall be based on the volumes set forth in Exhibit C) and located at and within the Refinery, the Refinery Tankage and the Third-Party Tankage or Storage as of the Inventory Transfer Time.

Part II of this Exhibit A sets forth the valuation formulae and procedures for valuing the Feedstock and Products Inventory (including the In-Transit Inventory, but excluding any Unit Fill) in order to determine the Estimated Feedstock and Products Sales Amount, Feedstock and Products Sales Statement, and the Final Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount.

All capitalized terms used in this Exhibit A that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.

Part I. Physical Inventory Procedures

 

(A.) INDEPENDENT INSPECTION:

All gauging, temperature measurment, sampling, testing and net volume calculations will be done by the Petroleum Inspection Company with the participation of Buyer’s and Seller’s Inventory Committee representatives using a mutually agreed upon gauging and sampling schedule by tank (the “Inventory Schedule”). The Inventory Schedule will be mutually developed between the Buyer, Seller and Petroleum Inspection Company. All three parties shall have the right to participate in the physical inventory measurement by observing the gauging, temperature readings, sampling, etc. In addition, Buyer and Seller shall each have the right to have its own independent accountants, consultants, or agents present during the physical inventory, at such respective Parties’ sole cost and expense. Inspection/Testing costs for the Petroleum Inspection Company, including, travel, laboratory, and incidental costs (such as bottles, bombs, seals, etc.), shall be shared on a 50/50 basis (i.e., 50% by the Seller and 50% by the Buyer) by the Parties. Any additional requests (outside of the inventory process) to the Petroleum Inspection Company will be billed to the requesting party at 100%.

 

(B.) QUANTIFICATION PROCEDURES:

In determining the quantities of the various Products to be inventoried, all volumes shall be determined on the basis of the Inventory Transfer Time and as of the completion of delivery to the Refinery, the Refinery Tankage, and the Third-Party Tankage or Storage (with respect to any cargo or tender of In-Transit Inventory). Non-usable and non-merchantable quantities are

 

Exhibit A, Page 1


materials such as water, sludge and other foreign contaminants commonly referred to as basic sediment and water (“BS&W”) and shall be excluded for purposes of determining the quantities. BS&W will be determined by using Karl Fisher methodology or Water by Distillation summed with Sediment by Extraction or Membrane Filtration.

 

(C.) INVENTORY MEASUREMENT PROTOCOL:

All gauging, sampling, and analysis related to the determination of quality and quantity of the Feedstock and Products Inventory shall be done in accordance with the latest API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards as published by the American Petroleum Institute (the “API Manual”), ASTM test methods, or by currently accepted industry standards or procedures. The specific standards to be used shall be determined by the Inventory Committee prior to the Closing. Tanks with floating roofs shall contain sufficient Product to fully “float” the roof when it is being gauged. Tanks equipped with steam coils or other means of heating product will have the heat shut off at least one (1) hour prior to gauging. Tank mixers will be shut off at least two (2) hours prior to gauging.

 

(D) CERTIFICATION OF EQUIPMENT:

The Petroleum Inspection Company will standardize, calibrate and certify all gauging tapes and temperature devices used in the transfer of all Feedstock and Products Inventory. The Petroleum Inspection Company will provide quality assurance documentation for its laboratory used for the physical inventory process. The Petroleum Inspection Company shall make all calibration and certification records available to any Party for review. All Parties may witness the verification of the portable electronic thermometers prior to their use. All laboratory equipment used for testing of the inventory samples will also be calibrated/standardized in accordance with industry and manufacturers procedures.

Prior to the Closing Date, the Inspector will inspect the Refinery’s laboratory testing equipment and procedures for the quality tests scheduled to be done by that laboratory, to verify that they are adequate to comply with the ASTM Standards. Both parties may witness the verification. If the Inspector determines the equipment and procedures to be acceptable to perform the required testing, without objection from either Buyer or Seller, the test results from the laboratory may be accepted without further observation of the testing. If the Refinery’s laboratory capacity is not sufficient or if the equipment and procedures are determined to be inadequate to comply with the ASTM Standards, an independent laboratory’s costs shall be shared equally (50:50 basis) by the Buyer and Seller.

 

(E.) ACCEPTANCE AND REVIEW; INVENTORY COMMITTEE:

The Parties shall be deemed to have accepted the accuracy of the gauging and temperature measurements of a tank as recorded by the Petroleum Inspection Company on the gauge ticket (to be mutually developed) (the “Gauge Ticket”) if the Parties’ respective Inventory Committee representatives “sign-off” on the Gauge Ticket, Additional sampling will be taken by

 

Exhibit A, Page 2


the Petroleum Inspection Company upon the request of either Party at the sole expense of the requesting Party. All inventory measurements (such as gauges, temperature determinations, and water cuts) shall be resolved to the best of their abilities by Buyer, Seller and Inspector at the time measurements are taken. Any disputes will be resolved by noon the following working day.

 

(F.) QUALITATIVE PROCEDURES:

The determination of the quality of some Products must be performed utilizing special laboratory equipment. Samples of such Products shall be jointly taken as described in subsequent sections, and such tests shall be conducted in a mutually acceptable laboratory, The results of the tests so run shall be binding on both Parties.

All testing conducted in the Refinery laboratory is to be witnessed by a chemist employed by the Petroleum Inspection Company. Both Buyer and Seller may have representatives witness all testing.

All issues related to measurement procedures such as sampling, temperature readings, and gauging shall be resolved to the best of their abilities by the Parties’ representatives at the time the measurement is taken. Any remaining disputes shall be resolved by noon the following working day (or in the case of quality disputes, promptly following receipt of test results) by a majority vote of the members of the Inventory Committee,

 

(G.) PRE-CLOSING INVENTORY PROCEDURES:

Prior to the Inventory Transfer Time, Seller’s personnel shall determine which of the Refinery Tankage shall be active and inactive, and which tanks will contain inventory and which will be empty, as of the Inventory Transfer Time. The Inventory Schedule will take into account the determination of active and inactive tankage and will provide for performing the physical inventory of both active and inactive tankage prior to the Inventory Transfer Time. The Inventory Schedule will be subject to the approval of the Inventory Committee, and shall indicate the following for each tank to be inventoried:

 

   

Storage tank location, tank number, tank type, size, capacity (shell and working);

 

   

Status at closing (active or inactive);

 

   

Product stored including classification as sweet, sour, type of crude, etc.;

 

   

Tank reference gauge height;

 

   

Method of Tank gauging (ullage or innage) based on the Tank calibration table; and

 

   

Tank Heels (volume).

Prior to closing, the Inspector will perform a pre-closing survey of the crude oil and heavy fuel (“Black Oil”) tanks at the Facility to measure the actual gauge height, to compare the actual manual gauge to the automatic gauge, and to determine the amounts of solids and sludge accumulated on the bottoms of the tanks. The results of the survey will be made available to all parties prior to Closing. Upon joint agreement by both Parties, this pre-closing survey may be waived for specific products, tanks or Facilities.

 

Exhibit A, Page 3


(H.) PHYSICAL INVENTORY PROCEDURES:

 

  (i) General:

Tanks with floating roofs shall not be in the critical zone of the floating roof when it is being gauged. Tanks equipped with steam coils or other means of heating product will have the heat shut off at least one (1) hour prior to gauging. Tank mixers shall be shut off at least two (2) hours prior to gauging. Temperature measurements will be obtained at the time of gauging, except as otherwise provided herein.

To the extent applicable, the Parties will cooperate in order to develop mutually acceptable procedures to address measurement of Product that is in the midst of delivery to the Refinery or the Refinery Tankage as of the Inventory Transfer Time.

 

  (ii) Nonmoving Tanks (Inactive Tanks):

All Refinery Tankage that is standing with no movement in or out as of the Inventory Transfer Time will be gauged and sampled prior to the Inventory Transfer Time in accordance with the Inventory Schedule. All valves in and out of the tank will be closed and sealed at the time of gauging. The Petroleum Inspection Company will seal the tank valves and will be responsible for recording seal numbers and checking of seals. The Petroleum Inspection Company will provide a measurement and seal report identifying all valves and seals by tank and manifold valve. If it is necessary to break seals to transfer Product into or out of a sealed gauged tank, prior notification and confirmation must be obtained from the Inventory Committee in order to keep accurate records of the proceedings.

Once physical inventory operations have started, no tank switching, changes or movements shall be made without written notification to Buyer, Seller, and the Petroleum Inspection Company’s representatives. If tankage seals are broken, tankage must be resealed when movement stops. Said tankage must then be regauged, resampled and temperature determined anew. Otherwise, it will be gauged as an active tank.

Inactive tanks that are required for thermal relief of connecting pipelines will be gauged using the inactive tanks’ automatic gauge readings. Each automatic gauge will be calibrated as close to the Inventory Transfer Time as possible. The automatic gauge reading will be monitored every 10 minutes for 90 minutes before and after the Inventory Transfer Time to confirm that there was no movement into or out of said inactive tank. In cases where the automatic gauge readings indicate tank movement, the tank will be gauged as an active tank.

 

  (iii) Moving Tanks (Active Tanks):

Active Refinery Tankage that must have movements in or out during the physical inventory quantification process as of the Inventory Transfer Time will be manually

 

Exhibit A, Page 4


gauged during a period in which the active tanks are temporarily inactive, as close to the Inventory Transfer Time as possible. The physical inventory of the active Refinery Tankage will be obtained using the applicable procedures prescribed herein and must coincide with the “closing” of rack meters where appropriate.

Refinery Tankage that will remain active during the inventory period will be measured as close to the Inventory Transfer Time as possible. The gross inventory measurement will be compared against the tanks’ automatic gauges. The volume difference between the two measurements, in gross inches or fractions thereof, will be recorded on the tanks’ physical inventory worksheet. The Petroleum Inspection Company report will identify each tank by number, location and description.

 

  (iv) Loaded Tank Trucks and Rail Cars:

All outbound loaded trucks and rail cars which have been ticketed for sale at the Inventory Transfer Time, other than such trucks and rail cars constituting Finished Product In-Transit, will be considered as a Seller account receivable unless previously paid and will not be part of the Feedstock and Products Inventory. Except for the Retained Feedstock and Products, all loaded trucks and railcars which have not been ticketed for sale will be part of the Feedstock and Products Inventory.

 

  (v) Sulfur:

Sulfur, if any will be sold pursuant to this Agreement, will be measured in accordance production records maintained by the Seller, or through other means agreeable by the Inventory Committee and Petroleum Inspection Company.

 

  (vi) Finished Product In-Transit:

Finished Product In-Transit will be measured in accordance with inventory records maintained by Seller, as confirmed by the Inventory Committee.

 

  (vii) Unit Fill:

Unit Fill will not be measured.

 

  (viii) Sampling, Testing, and Retention of the Inventory Samples:

1. Intermediates and Heavy Oil Products: A minimum of two sample sets consisting of one quart zone samples from the upper, middle, and lower liquid zones (as those terms are defined or used in the API Manual) will be obtained per tank per API Manual or ASTM D4057 (Standard Practice for Sampling of Petroleum and Petroleum Products). In the chosen laboratory, a one quart volumetric blend will be prepared for the inventory quality analyses. The number of sample sets and volume of laboratory blend shall be adjusted based on the defined inventory quality analyses.

 

Exhibit A, Page 5


2. Light Oil Products: A minimum of two sample sets consisting of one quart average sample will be obtained per tank per the API Manual or ASTM D4057 (Standard Practice for Sampling of Petroleum and Petroleum Products). At the Inventory Committee’s discretion and approval the amount/volume of sample obtained will be increased dependent on required laboratory analyses.

3. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Samples: All inventory LPGs will have two sample sets consisting of a liquid phase sample and a vapor phase sample obtained per the API Manual, ASTM D1265 (Practice for Sampling Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gases (Manual Method) or ASTM D3700 (Standard Practice for Obtaining LPG Samples Using a Floating Piston Cylinder). One set of the sealed samples will be retained a minimum of two (2) weeks by the Petroleum Inspection Company.

4. Petroleum Coke and Sulfur: Petroleum coke and sulfur, if any, will be sampled in accordance with ASTM D346 (Collection and Preparation of Coke Samples for Laboratory Analysis), ASTM D2234 (Collection of Gross Sample of Coal) or other mutually agreed procedure.

5. Lubes: A minimum of two sample sets consisting of one quart average sample will be obtained per tank per the API Manual or ASTM D4057 (Standard Practice for Sampling of Petroleum and Petroleum Products). At the Inventory Committee’s discretion and approval the amount/volume of sample obtained will be increased dependent on required laboratory analyses.

6. Asphalt: Asphalt will be sampled in accordance with ASTM D 140 (Standard Practice of Sampling Bituminous Materials).

7. Additive Tanks: If Product additive tanks contain diluents blended with the additives, then prior to the Closing Date the Facilities’ personnel will provide the Parties the blending/dilution ratios for additives in the tanks.

8. Retention: Of the sample sets obtained during the physical inventory process, one half (1/2) of each set will be sealed and retained by the Petroleum Inspection Company. The unused portion(s) of the analyzed sample sets will also be sealed and retained. These sealed samples will be maintained by the Petroleum Inspection Company for a minimum period of ninety (90) days or a mutually agreed retention time. LPG samples will be retained as specified in 3. above. At the time of disposal, the Petroleum Inspection Company will properly dispose of samples and appropriate “cradle to grave” documentation forwarded to Seller and Buyer. All retained samples shall be made available to either Buyer or Seller after a three day notice is given and approved by the other party.

 

  (ix) Measurement:

All measurements taken during the physical inventory process will be performed by the Petroleum Inspection Company. The following will be measured, recorded/obtained and documented by the Petroleum Inspection Company on the

individual Gauge Ticket: (1) tank location, identification, and type, (2) date and time of measurements, (3) product type within tank, (4) manual gauge recorded in appropriate units and fractional units, (5) measurement method, that is, innage or ullage, (6) temperature readings, (7) free water measurement recorded in appropriate units, (8) Tank Heels, (9) the tanks automatic reading, and (10) tank pressure as applicable to pressurized tanks or vessels.

Duplicate calculations will be made in determining the net inventory contained in each tank at 60 degrees F or the appropriate temperature base for each Product in inventory and in each tank. Seller will make a set of calculations based on “normal” inventory calculation methods at the respective Facilities. The second set of measurements will be made independently by the Inspector. The Inspector’s final calculation after review by Buyer and Seller will determine the net inventory.

 

(II.) METER READINGS – LOADING RACKS AND PIPELINES:

 

  (i) Inactive Systems:

Meter readings shall be obtained on all inactive metered systems (tank truck rack, rail car rack and pipeline) in advance of the Inventory Transfer Time. The Petroleum Inspection Company will secure these systems by sealing the same and inserting meter tickets in these meters to ensure that no Product is moved through these systems during the physical inventory process and the Petroleum Inspection Company report will clearly identify the date and time.

The last tickets used to record Product sales, incoming receipts, Product shipments, and other Product movements will be legibly photocopied and retained by Buyer, Seller, and the Petroleum Inspection Company.

 

  (ii) Active Systems:

Meter readings shall be obtained on all active metered systems coincident with the physical inventory measurements obtained on the storage tank(s) by supplying said metered systems. New meter tickets shall be inserted at this time. Where practical and non-interfering with normal refinery operations, active tanks shall be shut down immediately prior to and during the physical inventory.

The last tickets used to record Product sales or other Product transactions through the meters will be photocopied and retained by Buyer, Seller, and the Petroleum Inspection Company.

 

(J.) POST-INVENTORY PROCEDURES:

(i) Both of the Parties’ representatives shall sign the Gauge Ticket or gauge worksheet for each tank inventoried, which shall include the calculation of gross observed volume and Net Standard Volume. The Buyer’s and Seller’s signature on the Gauge Ticket or gauge worksheet shall indicate agreement with all physical measurements recorded on the ticket or sheet.

 

Exhibit A, Page 7


(ii) Similarly, the Parties’ representatives shall identify and acknowledge all closing meter readings, as well as the last rack sale, Product shipment, and Product receipt prior to the physical inventory,

(iii) An inspection shall be made to assure that all systems previously closed and sealed remained inactive during the physical inventory and that no Product movements occurred through these systems. At this time all seals will be removed by the Petroleum Inspection Company.

 

(K.) CALCULATION OF FINAL INVENTORY QUANTITY:

The Petroleum Inspection Company will tabulate the data from the signed individual tank Gauge Tickets and using current tank calibration tables will determine the total observed volume for each tank (“Total Observed Volume”). Correcting for Free Water, applying roof corrections, applying tank shell corrections, and using the most current CTL and CPL correction factors, the Total Observed Volumes will be corrected to Gross Standard Volumes and then to Net Standard Volumes. Volumes within LPG inventory tanks will be corrected for vapor. The Petroleum Inspection Company will produce a final report reporting its conclusions of its calculation of the Inventory Quantity and Quality. The final report is due by the Petroleum Inspection Company to the parties no later than fifteen (15) business days after Closing. After review and signature of all parties, the Petroleum Inspection Company’s final calculation will be the Final Inventory Quantity. Volumes within Residual Tanks will be corrected to Net Standard Volume only for the BS&W exceeding 1.0% by volume. For purposes of this Exhibit D, the term (i) “Gross Standard Volume” means the volume at 60 degrees Fahrenheit and one atmosphere of pressure (14.696 PSIA), including suspended sediment and water, as calculated by the most recent standards under the API Manual, (ii) “Net Standard Volume” means the volume at 60 degrees Fahrenheit and one atmosphere of pressure (14.696 PSIA) after deducting BS&W from the Gross Standard Volume, (iii) “CTL” means the Correction for the effect of Temperature on Liquid, and (iv) “CPL” means the Correction for the effect of Pressure on Liquid.

Exhibit I to Stock Purchase Agreement

TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT

THIS TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) dated             , is made and entered into by and between VALERO REFINING AND MARKETING COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (“Seller”), and PBF HOLDING COMPANY LLC, a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), (each a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have meanings assigned to them in the SPA (as that term is defined below),

Introduction

Buyer and Seller have entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of                  (the “SPA”), pursuant to which Buyer has acquired the Shares and thus, indirectly, the Refinery and the Business.

Buyer has requested that Seller and its Affiliates, as appropriate, provide certain services to Buyer and Buyer’s Affiliates for the period provided for herein to help facilitate the continued operation of the Business until such time as Buyer and its Affiliates have fully transitioned all aspects of running the Business over to Buyer’s personnel, systems, policies and procedures.

Seller has agreed to provide (or cause to be provided by its Affiliates or otherwise) the services described in this Agreement, according to its terms and conditions.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, and the mutual promises and covenants hereinafter contained, the Parties hereto, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, agree as follows:

SECTION 1. SERVICES PROVIDED BY SELLER TO BUYER

In order to continue the operation of the Business and to facilitate the orderly and effective transition of the Business from Seller to Buyer, Seller and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Buyer and its Affiliates with certain services (collectively, the “Services”) to the extent such Services may be reasonably requested by Buyer from time to time for the term of this Agreement.

The Services are set forth in Exhibit A, a copy of which is attached to and made a part of this Agreement. The applicable rates, fees and charges associated with each Service are also set forth in Exhibit A. The hourly rates in Exhibit A for Services to be performed by employees of Seller and its Affiliates are based upon fully loaded rates contained in Seller’s and its Affiliates’ 2007 budgets, and do not include a profit component. Any provision by Seller of services not specifically detailed in Exhibit A must be mutually agreed upon in advance in a written amendment to this Agreement containing the scope, rates, fees and charges associated with such additional services. Seller reserves the right to outsource any Services by way of third party contracts, and such Services shall be billed to Buyer on a cost pass-through basis, without mark-up.

 

1


SECTION 2. PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES

2.1 Manner of Performance. Seller agrees that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its personnel who previously supported the Business prior to the Closing Date to perform the Services with the same degree of care, skill, confidentiality and diligence with which such personnel perform similar services for Seller and its Affiliates. Seller shall not be required to add staff, equipment, facilities or other resources in order to provide any Service. If a dispute arises over the nature or quality of the Services, the prior practice of Seller with respect to the Services (since the time of Seller’s acquisition by Valero Energy Corporation), as determined from the books and records of Seller relating to the Business, shall be conclusive as to the nature and quality of the Services.

2.2 Provision of Information. Any data, information, equipment or general directions necessary for Seller or any of its Affiliates to perform the Services shall be submitted by Buyer or its Affiliates in a timely manner. Information, data and directions to be provided by Seller and its Affiliates as part of the Services shall likewise be provided to Buyer in a timely manner.

2.3 Termination of Any Service. The termination of any one or more of the specific Services shall have no impact on Seller’s obligation to continue to provide any other Services,

2.4 Laws and Regulations. Seller and Buyer acknowledge that the Services shall be provided only with respect to the Business. Buyer represents and agrees that it and its Affiliates will use the Services provided hereunder only in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, and in accordance with the conditions, rules, regulations and specifications which may be set forth in any manuals, materials, documents or instructions made available or communicated by Seller to Buyer or any of its Affiliates on an ongoing basis throughout the term of this Agreement. In performing the Services, Seller will comply and will cause its Affiliates to comply, with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. Seller reserves the right to take all actions, including termination of any particular Service or Services, that Seller reasonably believes to be necessary to assure compliance with applicable laws and regulations (including specifically, but without limitation, any applicable antitrust laws and regulations); provided, however, that Seller will provide Buyer with as much prior notice as practical before taking any such action.

2.5 Modification of Service Levels. While the Parties recognize that Buyer will initially need considerable assistance with the operation of the Business, they also acknowledge that Buyer’s goal is to steadily increase its ability to operate the Business without Seller’s and its Affiliates’ assistance. In, furtherance of such goal, prior to the end of the sixth calendar month following the Closing Date and prior to the end of each calendar month thereafter, the Parties will review the Services provided to discuss whether the Services will remain at the same level or decrease during the next immediately succeeding month. Buyer will notify Seller in writing of any Service reduction or termination of Services pursuant to Section 8. Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to transition from the Services to self-operation as soon as reasonably possible, and will accordingly strive to reduce or terminate, pursuant to this Section 2.5 and Section 8, each Service as soon as practicable.

SECTION 3. CHARGES FOR SERVICES

From and after the date of this Agreement and throughout the term of this Agreement, Buyer agrees to pay to Seller on a monthly basis the service fees set forth on Exhibit A.

SECTION 4. PAYMENT OF CHARGES AND REIMBURSEMENTS

If either Seller or any of its Affiliates incurs any reasonable out-of-pocket expense or remits funds to a third party on behalf of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, in either case in connection with the rendering of any Service, then Seller shall include such amount on its monthly statement to Buyer, and Buyer will reimburse that amount to Seller (or its designee) as part of its monthly payment.

Any such audits performed by or on behalf of Buyer shall be at Buyer’s sole cost and expense. Buyer shall have the right to audit Seller’s books for a period of one (1) year after the month in which the Services were rendered, except in those circumstances where contracts by Seller or any of its Affiliates with third parties limit the audit period to less than one year.

Buyer shall remit payment of the amount determined by such firm to be properly payable not later than ten (10) days following such determination, together with interest thereon calculated daily at the Applicable Rate. In the event of any overpayments by Buyer, Seller agrees to promptly (a) refund any such overpaid amount to Buyer, as well as (b) pay interest on the overpayment calculated daily at the Applicable Rate. The determination of such accounting firm in resolution of the dispute shall be final and binding upon the Parties and enforceable by either Party in any court of competent jurisdiction, absent fraud or manifest error, So long as the Parties are attempting to resolve the dispute, neither Party shall be entitled to terminate the Services related to, or the cause of, the disputed amounts.

5.3 Undisputed Amounts. Any statement or payment not disputed in writing by Seller or Buyer, as applicable, within one (1) year of the date of such statement or payment shall be considered final and no longer subject to dispute or adjustment.

SECTION 6. CONFIDENTIALITY

[REDACTED]

Seller will assist with the administration of human resources systems services heretofore provided by Seller’s and its Affiliates’ headquarters level personnel, including payroll (including related timekeeping), benefits administration (while on Vatero’s benefits), personnel records management, training records and Valero HR information systems, Upon request, Seller will also consult with Buyer’s personnel regarding Union grievances, employee dispute resolution matters, and labor relations.

Buyer will, at all times, be responsible for paying all customs-related duties,

 

6


taxes, fees, interest, penalties, and any sums whatsoever relating to the services provided hereunder except as otherwise provided herein.

As noted in the SPA, Buyer will be required to obtain its own software to manage the FTZ (or engage a consultant with the requisite software) because Seller uses enterprise software that must be retained to service other foreign-trade zones at Affiliate refineries.

References in this Section to Seller include any applicable Affiliate of Seller who performs these duties at the Seller headquarters offices in San Antonio.

Seller and its Affiliates will cooperate with personnel designated by Buyer to transition any HS&E activities for the Business that have heretofore been performed at the San Antonio headquarters level (as opposed to those heretofore customarily conducted at the Refinery).

XI. Lubricant Base Oil and Product Marketing (“Lubes Marketing”). Seller understands that Buyer will not be able to take on Lubes Marketing activities at Closing. Accordingly, Seller will retain responsibility for these activities under a transitional offtake and netback agreement as mutually agreed between the parties. Key provisions to this agreement include:

 

   

At Closing, Seller and Buyer will measure the lubricants base oil inventory, and Seller will retain this inventory (the “Retained Lubes Inventory”).

 

   

Seller shall retain the commercial contracts and Intellectual Property related to the sale of Lubes to facilitate the Lubes Marketing during the transition period.

 

   

Seller will retain all non-Paulsboro employees involved in Lubes Marketing. Employees located at Paulsboro that are primarily responsible for scheduling lubes movements or blending lubricants will become employees of Buyer at Closing, but will provide scheduling and other services necessary for Seller to perform Lubes Marketing.

 

   

Seller will sell lubricants base oil for the Seller’s account from the Retained Lubes Inventory. During this period, Buyer or the Company will continue to produce lubricant base oils which will be commingled with the Retained Lubes Inventory.

 

   

The Buyer or the Company will continue to produce lubricants base oils in sufficient quantities to satisfy the obligations of the commercial contracts over the term of the Transition Services Agreement.

 

   

Once the Retained Lubes Inventory is exhausted, Seller will purchase lubricants base oil from the Buyer or the Company at the weighted average contract prices, less a marketing fee. This fee will be in lieu of the hourly fee noted in under the Rates and Expenses section at the beginning of Exhibit A. The marketing fee will be sufficient to cover Seller’s fully-burdened costs, but will not contain a profit margin.

 

   

Sales will be handled via the existing commercial contracts, utilizing the Seller’s accounting and IT systems as utilized by the Seller prior to Closing.

 

   

At the end of the transition period, the commercial contracts and Marketing Assets retained by Seller during the transition period and used exclusively for Lubes Marketing

 

7


 

will be transitioned to Buyer. The timing of this will be as mutually agreed, but in no event will exceed the term of the Transition Services Agreement.

 

   

The transitional offtake and netback agreement shall be in similar in form to the Offtake Agreement subject to the above terms.

Except as provided in this Section 1.3, Buyer shall ensure that all of Buyer’s Plans in which the Post-Closing Employees who are Non-Represented Employees participate after the Closing recognize the years of service with the Company and/or its Affiliates and predecessor employers prior to the Closing of any such Post-Closing Employees (such past service as reflected in the employment data furnished to Buyer pursuant to Section 1.2(b)) for eligibility, vesting and benefit determination purposes to the same extent as such Post-Closing Employee was entitled, before the Closing, to credit for such service under any similar Seller’s Plans, but Buyer shall have no obligation to recognize such years of service for benefit accrual purposes.

Section 1.4 Retirement Plan Coverage.

(a) As a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, from and after Closing, the Company will no longer be considered an “affiliate” under ERISA for purposes of the Company Plans and no Post Closing Employee shall be eligible to accrue additional benefits under any such Company Plan. On and after the Closing, Post-Closing Employees shall become participants in a tax-qualified retirement plan to be established by Buyer as of the Closing Date (“Buyer’s Pension”) with full credit for eligibility, vesting and benefit entitlement purposes (but not for benefit accrual) for service with the Company and/or its Affiliates and predecessor employers prior to the Closing as provided for in Section 1.3. As of the Closing Date, Post-Closing Employees who are participants in the Valero Energy Corporation Pension Plan (“Seller’s Pension Plan”) shall be fully vested in their accrued benefits under Seller’s Pension Plan.

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

 

3


ensure that Post-Closing Employees who are participants in the Seller’s Savings Plans shall be fully vested in their accounts in the Seller’s Savings Plans.

Section 1.5 Welfare Plan Coverage. With respect to each Post-Closing Employee who elects to participate in Welfare Plans to be established by Buyer prior to the expiration of the Transition Period if contemplated under the Transition Services Agreement, Buyer shall, to the extent allowed under Buyer’s Welfare Plans, waive any pre-existing condition exclusions to coverage, any evidence of insurability provisions, any active at work requirement and any waiting period or service requirements that did not exist or had been waived or otherwise satisfied under Seller’s Welfare Plans, provided the Post-Closing Employee enrolls within a reasonable period of time after first becoming eligible to enroll.

Section 1.6 Post-Retirement Welfare Benefits.

(a) Seller and its Affiliates shall be responsible for all post-retirement medical, dental and life insurance (“Retiree Welfare Benefit”) coverage for any eligible Employees or eligible former employees who do not become Post-Closing Employees. Seller and its Affiliates also shall make available or cause to be made available Retiree Welfare Benefit coverage (“Retiree Welfare Benefit Plan”) to any Post-Closing Employee who satisfies the eligibility requirements for a Retiree Welfare Benefit under the applicable plan as of the Closing Date and elects to participate in the Retiree Welfare Benefit Plan offered by Seller, and each such eligible Post-Closing Employee shall be permitted to enroll in such coverage in accordance with the terms of the applicable Retiree Welfare Benefit Plan.

(b) After the Closing, Buyer shall provide or cause to be provided coverage under Buyer’s then existing Welfare Plans to all Post-Closing Employees up to age 65 and subject to eligibility requirements who do not satisfy the eligibility requirements for a Retiree Welfare Benefit as of the Closing Date or who do satisfy the eligibility requirements and do not elect such coverage in accordance with the terms of the applicable Retiree Welfare Benefit Plan, and give full credit for service of such Post-Closing Employees with the Company and/or any of its Affiliates or a predecessor employer prior to the Closing as provided for in Section 1.3.

Section 1.7 Other Benefits.

(a) Buyer shall cause the Company to honor the Post-Closing Employees accrued vacation entitlement, except for any carry over or banked amount. Promptly following the Closing Date, Seller shall pay Post-Closing Employees for vacation the Post-Closing Employees have carried over or banked from prior years up to and including the Closing Date. At the beginning of the calendar year next succeeding the Closing Date, Post-Closing Employees shall be covered by Buyer’s vacation schedule (or the vacation schedule in the Collective Bargaining Agreement, as applicable) going forward but with recognition of past service to determine vacation entitlement levels. Within thirty (30) days after the Closing, Seller will provide to Buyer a list of the accrued vacation entitlement for the Post-Closing Employees. Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, earned and accrued vacation liabilities of Post-Closing Employees for the calendar year in which Closing occurs (the “Closing Year”) will be calculated as follows: the days during the Closing Year that Seller owned the Shares will be calculated, as will the number of days Buyer will own the Shares. Fractions will be calculated in

 

4


which the numerators will be the number of days during the Closing Year that Seller owned the Shares, and the number of days during the Closing Year that Buyer will own the Shares, respectively, and the denominators will be the number of days in the year of the Closing Year. These fractions will be multiplied by the number of eligibility hours of vacation entitlement (not including carried over or banked vacation) for Post-Closing Employees on the Closing Date, whether already taken or not. The resulting calculation will yield the number of hours of vacation attributable to the account of both Buyer and Seller. To the extent the total actual remaining vacation entitlement (not including carried over or banked vacation hours) to be taken in the Closing Year by Post-Closing Employees is greater than the total number of vacation hours attributable to Buyer, Seller will pay Buyer the Dollar amount of the difference as an adjustment to Net Working Capital. To the extent that the total actual remaining vacation entitlement (not including carried over or banked vacation hours) to be taken in the Closing Year by Post-Closing Employees is less than the total number of vacation hours attributable to Buyer, Buyer will pay Seller the Dollar amount of the difference as an adjustment to Net Working Capital. This Dollar amount will be calculated by multiplying the total number of vacation hours (by which the total actual remaining vacation entitlement less carried over or banked vacation hours to be taken in the Closing Year exceeds (or is less than) the total number of vacation hours attributable to Buyer or Seller in the Closing Year) by the average hourly rate (based on an individual-by-individual rate analysis) or the average staff employee rate (based on an individual-by-individual rate analysis).

(b) Seller agrees to (or shall cause its Affiliates to agree to) (i) fully vest any stock options and shares of restricted stock granted to Post-Closing Employees who would otherwise forfeit those awards as a result of this transaction under any stock incentive plan or stock option plan of Valero or any of its Affiliates, and (ii) permit all such options to be exercised for one year following the Closing Date, except to the extent the option expires earlier.

(c) Seller agrees to pay (or cause its Affiliates to pay) to eligible Post-Closing Employees a pro rata portion of any bonuses payable for the Closing Year based on the number of days prior to the Closing that the Post-Closing Employees were covered under Valero’s bonus plan, such payments to be based on targeted bonus amounts for such employees under Valero’s bonus plan; provided, however, that any bonus payable to Represented Employees is discretionary and any potential payment is also subject to the execution of documentation determined to be sufficient by the Seller.

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

Section 1.8 Liabilities and Indemnities.

(a) Post-Closing Severance/WARN Act. Buyer and the Company shall be responsible for, and Buyer shall indemnify the Seller Indemnitees from and against all Claims and Losses arising out of the notification or other requirements of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, as amended, and any comparable state Law (collectively, the “WARN Act”), with respect to Post-Closing Employees after the Closing. However, Seller shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees from and against all Claims

 

5


and Losses arising out of the notification or other requirements of the WARN Act with respect to Employees who do not become Post-Closing Employees, and Former Employees, other than Listed Employees, whether or not the termination occurred or occurs prior to, on, or after the Closing.

(b) Workers’ Compensation. Seller shall be responsible for workers’, compensation claims with respect to any Former Employee and any Post-Closing Employee if the incident or alleged incident giving rise to the claim occurred at or prior to the Closing. Buyer and the Company shall be responsible for any workers’, compensation claims with respect to any Post-Closing Employee if the incident or alleged incident giving rise to the claim occurs after the Closing. In the event of doubt as to the date of the occurrence of the incident or alleged incident, Buyer shall process the claim. With respect to all workers’ compensation or similar claims (hereinafter “Compensation Claims”) filed with an appropriate agency by or on behalf of any Post-Closing Employee (such employees are, for purposes of this paragraph, hereinafter collectively referred to as “Claiming Employee”), or by the spouse, dependent(s) or personal representative of such Claiming Employee which is first filed after the Closing, (i) Seller shall process, defend and be responsible for, and shall indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees from and against any such Compensation Claim if the incident or alleged incident giving rise to the claim is alleged to have occurred on or prior to the Closing, (ii) Buyer shall process, defend and be responsible for, and shall indemnify the Seller Indemnitees from and against any such Compensation Claim if the incident or alleged incident giving rise to the claim is alleged to have occurred subsequent to the Closing, and (iii) in the event any such Compensation Claim is filed after the Closing and the incident or alleged incident giving rise to the claim is alleged to have occurred both prior and subsequent to the Closing, Buyer shall, in consultation with Seller and taking into account Seller’s reasonable suggestions, process such claim (and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for its allocable portion of the reasonable cost of defense), and the liability for such claim as between the parties shall be based upon the length of exposure to such incident or alleged incident while employed by the Company before and after the Closing. Thus, as between the parties, the proportionate share of liability shall equal a fraction the denominator of which shall be the Claiming Employee’s total length of exposure to such incident or alleged incident, and the numerator of which shall be in the case of Buyer, the Claiming Employee’s total length of exposure while employed after the Closing, and in the case of Seller, the Claiming Employee’s total length of exposure while employed prior to the Closing.

(c) Severance and Termination Liability for Listed Employees. Seller and Buyer shall each be responsible for one-half of any severance payments to be made to the Listed Employees, with Buyer’s one-half to be made as an adjustment to the Purchase Price at Closing, Except with respect to the severance obligations referenced in the preceding sentence, Liabilities or obligations arising out of or with respect to the Listed Employees’ employment by the Company prior to Closing shall be a Retained Liability under Section 2.6(b); provided that Buyer shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify the Seller Indemnitees against, Claims and Liabilities made by any Listed Employee to the extent related to the selection of the Listed Employees for termination, including Buyer’s criteria for selection.

Section 1.9 No Third Party Beneficiaries. No provision of Section 1.1 through Section 1.8 shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Person, including any employee or former employee (and any beneficiaries, dependents or representatives thereof) of the

 

6


Company, Seller or Buyer, or any of their respective Affiliates, and no provision of Section 1.1 through Section 1.8 shall create such third-party beneficiary rights in any Person in respect of any benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any employee benefit plan or arrangement of Buyer or its Affiliates.

ACCESS EASEMENT


STATE OF NEW JERSEY

   §   
   §   
COUNTY OF GLOUCESTER    §   

AGREEMENT AND GRANT OF EASEMENT

THIS EASEMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into effective as of the                  day of _____, 2010 (the “Effective Date”), by and between VALERO REFINING COMPANY-NEW JERSEY, a Delaware corporation, having an address at 800 Billingsport Road, Paulsboro, NJ 08066, hereinafter referred to herein as “Grantor”, and VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, having an address at One Valero Way, San Antonio, TX 78249, hereinafter referred to herein as “Grantee.”

Recitals

A. Grantor is the owner of a certain petroleum refinery (the “Refinery”), located in Gloucester County, New Jersey, on those certain tracts, pieces or parcels of land more particularly described in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes (together with all improvements thereon and all appurtenances thereto, the “Easement Property”).

B. In connection with Grantor’s purchase of the Refinery from Mobil Oil Corporation (predecessor in interest to Exxon Mobil Corporation, hereinafter referred to as “ExxonMobil”), Grantor and its affiliate at the time, Valero Marketing and Supply Company (“VMSC”), entered into certain agreements with ExxonMobil and its affiliates including, without limitation, those agreements listed on Exhibit “B” attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes (as the same have been and may hereafter be amended from time to time, the “Refinery Agreements”). The Refinery Agreements require Grantor to, among other things, produce certain products and provide certain services at the Refinery for the benefit of ExxonMobil and its affiliates.

C. At the time Grantor acquired the Refinery from ExxonMobil, Grantor was owned by Valero Refining and Marketing Company (“VRMC”), a subsidiary of Grantee, and ExxonMobil required Grantee to enter into a certain Guaranty to and for the benefit of ExxonMobil and certain of its affiliates, dated as of September 16, 1998 (the “Guaranty”), whereby Grantee guaranteed, among other things, certain obligations of Grantor and VMSC under the Refinery Agreements (the “Obligations”). Reference may be had to the Guaranty for a more detailed description of the Obligations.

D. Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of September 24, 2010 (“SPA”), prior to the Effective Date, PBF Holding Company LLC agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Grantor from VRMC. After the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Grantee will no longer be affiliated with Grantor.

E. Pursuant to the SPA, the parties contemplated that VMSC will assign its interest in those Refinery Agreements to which it is a party to Grantor, and Grantor will assume VMSC’s remaining obligations under those Refinery Agreements.

 

K-1


F. Because Grantee will no longer be affiliated with Grantor, and in an effort to mitigate its potential liabilities under the Guaranty in the event that Grantor or any of its successors or assigns fails to honor or perform any of the Obligations Grantee has requested that Grantor grant an easement to Grantee over the Easement Property to allow Grantee access to the Refinery for purposes of performing or otherwise satisfying such Obligations.

G. Grantor has agreed to grant such easement to Grantee, upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.

Agreement Terms

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, including, without limitation, the covenants and agreements contained herein and the benefits accruing to Grantor by reason of the Guaranty, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Promptly after the Expiration Date, all rights granted herein shall automatically revert to Grantor, its successors and assigns, and, upon Grantor’s request (and delivery to Grantee of proof reasonably acceptable to Grantee that the conditions in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence have been satisfied (if the Expiration Date occurs earlier than the 20 year anniversary of the Effective Date), Grantee shall promptly execute and deliver a release of this Easement in a recordable format reasonably acceptable to Grantor and Grantee.

4. Beneficiaries. The Easement is granted for the benefit of Grantee and its successors and assigns, together with their and their affiliates’ respective agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors and representatives (collectively, the “(Grantee Parties”).

5. Easement Activities.

7. Prior Notice. Prior to entering upon the Easement Property to perform any of the Easement Activities, Grantee shall provide a written, notification to Grantor (the “Breach Notice”) advising Grantor that Grantee has become aware of a breach by Grantor (or one or more of its affiliates) of one or more provisions of the Refinery Agreements, which breach has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in Grantor becoming liable for some or all of the Obligations under the Guaranty (a “Triggering Breach”). The Breach Notice will identify such Triggering Breach with reasonable specificity. Grantor shall have a period of forty-eight (48) hours after delivery of the Breach Notice within which to (i) prove to the reasonable satisfaction of Grantee that no Triggering Breach has occurred, or if it has occurred that it is no longer continuing, or (ii) provide credible assurances reasonably acceptable to Grantee that Grantee shall not incur any liability under the Guaranty by reason of any such Triggering Breach; failing which Grantee shall be free to enter upon the Easement Property and perform the Easement Activities.

8. Conduct of Easement Activities.

a. Grantee shall have the right to designate the Grantee Parties who will be conducting the Easement Activities, Grantee will endeavor to use Grantee Parties who are qualified to perform the Easement Activities assigned to them and to perform all Easement activities in a manner consistent with prudent refining industry practices. Grantor shall cause its qualified employees and contractors who are then working at the Refinery to reasonably cooperate with and assist the Grantee Parties in the conduct of the Easement Activities.

b. Where Grantee may do so without risking an increase in its liability under the Guaranty, Grantee shall endeavor to perform (or cause to be performed) the Easement Activities at times and in a manner that do not unreasonably Interfere with Grantor’s operations at the Refinery, but Grantor acknowledges that the Grantee Parties shall have access to the Easement Property twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week as may be needed for them to satisfy any Obligations.

c. Grantor shall promptly issue all necessary work permits and other authorizations and take all other actions necessary on its part for the prompt and efficient prosecution of the Easement Activities.

d. In conducting the Easement Activities, the Grantee Parties shall comply with all Refinery safety and security regulations and procedures promulgated by Grantor (and made available to the Grantee Parties) that are then consistent with general US, refining industry

In addition, the Grantee Parties shall conduct all Easement Activities in compliance with all applicable laws and with the terms of any governmental permits and authorizations (collectively, “Permits”) held by Grantor, provided that the Grantee Parties are made aware of such Permits’ terms and conditions. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor agrees that the Grantee Parties may use and rely upon Grantor’s Permits in the conduct of the Basement Activities. Further, should any new or amended Permits be required for the conduct of any Basement Activities, Grantor shall provide full support and cooperation to Grantee in obtaining such Permits and shall, if appropriate, obtain such Permits in Grantee’s name.

e. Grantor may designate reasonable defined routes of ingress and egress for the Grantee Parties,

f. In no event shall Grantor seek to impose any requirements or limitations on the conduct of the Basement Activities that differ from those normally followed by Grantor’s own personnel and contractors when performing the same or similar activities under similar conditions.

9. Limits of Liability. Grantor acknowledges that (i) the Grantee Parties will not have to enter the Easement Property and undertake any Easement Activities so long as Grantor (and its affiliates, as applicable) faithfully honor and perform the Obligations, and (ii) an election by Grantee to exercise its rights to enter the Easement Property and undertake Easement Activities will only occur if Grantee is exposed to liability under the Guaranty by reason of Grantor’s and/or its affiliates’ breach of the Refinery Agreements, Accordingly, Grantor hereby RELEASES, ACQUITS AND FOREVER DISCHARGES the Grantee Parties from all liability whatsoever for any losses, costs, claims, demands, damages or liabilities of any nature whatsoever (collectively, “Losses”) suffered or incurred by Grantor or any of its affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees, contractors or representatives (collectively, the “Grantor Parties”) by reason of the Grantee Parties’ performance of any Easement Activities or their exercise of any other rights under this Agreement, unless and only to the extent such Losses are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Grantee Parties (except that Grantor also reserves the right to make claims against Grantee’s unaffiliated contractors and subcontractors who perform Easement Activities to the extent Grantor suffers Losses caused by such contractors’ and subcontractors’ ordinary negligence, and Grantee agrees to reasonably cooperate with Grantor to allow Grantor to make such claims directly against such contractors and subcontractors). Furthermore, Grantor agrees that in no event shall any of the Grantee Parties ever by liable for any consequential, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive or other similar types of damages (including specifically, but without limitation, damages for lost profits and/or loss of use) arising out of or in connection with any Easement Activities (collectively, “Special Damages”), regardless of how such damages are caused and regardless of the theory of recovery, Grantor further agrees to INDEMNIFY, DEFEND and HOLD HARMLESS the Grantee Parties from and against all claims by any of the Grantor Parties for any Losses for which Grantor has expressly released the Grantee Parties under the foregoing provisions of this Section, as well as for any Special Damages claimed by any Grantor Parties, For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Grantee Parties” does not include any Grantor Parties, even if some Grantor Parties provide assistance to the Grantee Parties in connection with any Easement Activities.

K-4


Agreement Obligors shall not consent or agree to any reinstatement, renewal, amendment, modification, compromise, extension, acceleration or other change to any of the Refinery Agreements or any of the Obligations thereunder (other than amendments or other modifications that do not extend the terms thereof and otherwise could not reasonably be expected to increase Grantee’s potential liability under the Guaranty), and (ii) the Refinery Agreement Obligors shall promptly deliver to Grantee copies of any notices received by the Refinery Agreement Obligors alleging that any breach or default has occurred under any of the Refinery Agreements or that any of the Refinery Agreement Obligors has otherwise failed to pay or perform any of the Obligations.

Grantee hereby expressly reserves all of its rights and remedies, whether arising under contract, by operation of law or otherwise.

The Inventory Committee shall use this information to develop a mutually agreed upon gauging and sampling schedule by location and tank (the “Inventory Schedule”). The Inventory Schedule shall be approved by the Inventory Committee no later than five (5) Business Days prior to Closing.

3.1.2 Delivery of Estimated Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount. No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer the Estimated Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount.

3.1.3 Payment of Estimated Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount. At the Closing, in consideration of Seller’s assignment and conveyance of the Feedstock and Products Inventory, Buyer shall pay to Seller, by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds, the Estimated Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount.

3.1.4 Inventory Report. Within ten (10) Business Days after the Closing Date, the Petroleum Inspection Company shall provide the Parties with a physical inventory report setting forth the quantity (which shall be temperature, API gravity, bottom sediment & water (BS&W), and pressure corrected) and qualitative laboratory results of the Feedstock and Products Inventory (excluding In-Transit Inventory, Refinery OSBL Line Fill, and Retained Feedstock and Products).

During a fifteen (15) day review period following receipt by both Parties of the physical inventory report, either Party may question the calculations and/or laboratory results set forth therein and the members of the Inventory Committee shall resolve any outstanding quantity and quality disputes. At the end of such review period and following resolution of all quantity and quality disputes, the quantity and quality entries set forth in the adjusted physical inventory report, for each of the Feedstock and Products Inventory, will become the official quantity and quality measurements of the Feedstock and Products Inventory as of the Inventory Transfer Time and the physical inventory report, as may be revised pursuant to the foregoing, will become the “Final Inventory Report”.

3.1.5 Feedstock and Products Sales Statement. On or before ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall calculate the Final Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount by using (i) the quantity and quality measurements set forth in the Final Inventory Report prepared in accordance with Section 3.1.4 and Exhibit A, and (ii) with respect to any Crude Oil In-Transit Inventory, bills of lading, shore meters or other appropriate statements evidencing the volume thereof. The various quantities set forth therein shall be multiplied by the relevant price formulas set forth in Part II of Exhibit A, and Seller shall deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Feedstock and Products Sales Statement”) setting forth the Final Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount, together with supporting calculations and documentation used to determine the Final Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount. Unless Buyer gives

 

- 7 -


notice to Seller on or before thirty (30) calendar days after Buyer’s receipt of the Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Statement that Buyer disputes the Final Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount specified in the Feedstock and Products Sales Statement, the Final Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount shall be as specified in the Feedstock and Products Sales Price Statement. If Buyer gives timely notice to Seller that it disputes the Final Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Price (or the final quantity or price of In-Transit Inventory) specified in the Feedstock and Products Sales Price Statement, Seller and Buyer shall consult in good faith and use all reasonable efforts to agree upon the calculation of the Final Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Price. If Seller and Buyer have not agreed on the Final Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Price within fifteen (15) calendar days after Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s dispute notice, either Seller or Buyer shall have the right to submit such matters as remain in dispute to Grant Thornton or Baker O’Brien (depending on the issues in dispute) as Seller and Buyer shall mutually agree, for final resolution, which resolution shall be binding upon Seller and Buyer, and judgment upon which may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is sought to be enforced. Such firm’s determination shall be in the form of a written opinion as is appropriate under the circumstances and shall confirm that it was rendered in accordance with this Section 3.1.5 and Exhibit A. The fees and expenses of such firm for its services in resolving such dispute shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer.

3.1.6 Feedstock and Products Sales Amount Adjustment.

If the Final Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount is greater than the Estimated Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount paid by Buyer at Closing, Buyer shall make an additional payment to Seller in an amount equal to the amount by which the Final Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount, as finally agreed upon pursuant to Section 3.1.5, exceeds the Estimated Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount, which payment shall be made by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day after the final determination of the Feedstock and Products Sales Amount Adjustment. If the Final Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount is less than the Estimated Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount paid by Buyer at Closing, Seller shall make a payment to Buyer in an amount equal to the amount by which the Estimated Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount exceeds the Final Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount, as finally agreed upon pursuant to Section 3.1.5, which payment shall be made by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day after the final determination of the Feedstock and Products Sales Amount Adjustment.

3.1.7 Access to Records and Audit. From the Closing Date through sixty (60) days after the Buyer’s receipt of the Final Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Price Statement, the Parties shall afford each other access, at all reasonable times, to the relevant personnel, properties and books and records, and working papers for the purpose of auditing and verifying the accuracy of the physical inventory and feedstock and product inventory sales prices.

SECTION 4: CRUDE OIL IN-TRANSIT

4.1 Crude Oil In-Transit Inventory. The Parties expressly agree the deliveries of Crude Oil In-Transit Inventory shall be included as part of the Feedstock and Products Inventory. The Crude Oil In-Transit Inventory shall be deemed to include (i) crude oil cargo of any ship (whether or not loaded prior to the Closing Date) that has been identified and agreed by representatives of Seller and Buyer prior to the Closing Date for delivery to the Refinery and the Refinery Tankage following the Closing Date which Seller or any Affiliate of Seller has paid for on or before the Closing Date, (ii) the Hess VGO and (iii) subject to the requirements of the Agreement, the crude oil cargo of any ship to be processed at the Refinery (A) that Seller or any of its Affiliates purchases (or enters into a contract to purchase) and pays the seller of such crude oil on or prior to the Closing Date for processing at the Refinery in the ordinary course of business of the Company, and (B) in respect of which prior to the Closing Date, Seller has provided the Buyer with written notice. For purposes of clarification, it is agreed that the entire cargo of any ship that has started but not completed delivery of crude oil as of the Inventory Transfer Time shall be considered Crude Oil In-Tankage, provided that Seller or any Affiliate of Seller has paid the seller of such crude oil prior to the Inventory Transfer Time. Each cargo of Crude Oil In-Transit Inventory purchased and paid for by Seller or any of its Affiliates on a delivered basis shall be considered as part of the Feedstock and Products Inventory only to the extent of actual outturn volume, which results from the completed delivery of such Crude Oil In-Transit Inventory to the Refinery and the Refinery Tankage, respectively. The actual outturn volume for Crude Oil In-Transit Inventory purchased on a delivered basis will be based on tank gauges at the appropriate facilities and the protocols and procedures applicable to the quantification and valuation of such Crude Oil In-Transit Inventory upon the conclusion of the delivery of such In-Transit Inventory to the Refinery and the Refinery Tankage in the same manner in which is applicable to Crude Oil In-Tankage as of the Inventory Transfer Time. Each cargo of Crude Oil In-Transit Inventory purchased on a FOB basis shall be considered as part of the Feedstock and Products Inventory only to the extent of volume reflected in the bill of lading for such Crude Oil In-Transit Inventory.

The Unpaid Crude Oil In-Transit shall be limited to (i) crude oil and feedstock cargo of any ship (whether or not loaded prior to the Closing Date) that has been scheduled on Exhibit F attached hereto and will be delivered to the Refinery and the Refinery Tankage following the Closing Date, and (ii) subject to the requirements of the Agreement, the crude oil and feedstock cargo of any ship to be processed at the Refinery (A) that Seller or any of its Affiliates purchases (or enters into a contract to purchase) prior to the Closing Date for processing at the Refinery in the ordinary course of business of the Company, and (B) is more fully described on Exhibit F. Seller hereby agrees to sell and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer hereby agrees to purchase and receive from Seller all such Unpaid Crude Oil In-Transit on the following terms and conditions:

  sold hereunder shall pass from Seller to Buyer (or its designated assignee) as such Unpaid Crude Oil In-Transit passes the last permanent flange connection between the cargo intake manifold of the delivering vessel and the delivering hose at the docks at the Refinery. The actual outturn volume for Unpaid Crude Oil In-Transit purchased will be based on tank gauges at the appropriate facilities and the protocols and procedures applicable to the quantification and valuation of such Unpaid Crude Oil In-Transit upon discharge of such Unpaid Crude Oil In-Transit at the Refinery and the Refinery Tankage in the same manner in which is applicable to Crude Oil In-Tankage.

 

  (b) The price for the Unpaid Crude Oil In-Transit will be based on the same valuation formulae (for each type of in-transit crude oil which makes up the Unpaid Crude Oil In-Transit) set forth in Exhibit A; provided however, (i) that if the actual freight protection costs are not available at the time of delivery, Seller shall invoice Buyer based on the estimated freight protection costs, with an adjustment being made between Seller and Buyer when the actual freight protection costs are known; and (ii) the payment terms for such Unpaid Crude Oil In-Transit will be the earlier of 10 days after completion of discharge or 15 days after Notice of Readiness (10/15 COD/NOR). All payments shall be made without offset, discount, deduction or counterclaim by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Seller at such account as Seller may designate in writing. Any amount payable by Buyer hereunder shall, if not paid when due, bear interest from the payment due date until, but excluding the date payment is received by Seller, at the Applicable Rate. Buyer may direct a third party to make payment to Seller on Buyer’s behalf, but Buyer shall remain responsible for making such payments to Seller. On delivery of Unpaid Crude Oil In-Transit to Buyer (or its designated assignee), Seller shall SELL, ASSIGN. TRANSFER and DELIVER unto Buyer (or its designated assignee), its successors and assigns forever, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all of such Unpaid Crude Oil In-Transit TO HAVE AND TO HOLD, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Unpaid Crude Oil In- Transit, together with all and singular the rights and appurtances thereto in anywise belonging, unto Buyer (or its designated assignee) and Buyer’s (or its designated assignee’s) successors and assigns forever.

EXHIBIT A

FEEDSTOCK AND PRODUCTS

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES AND PRICING

The Feedstock and Product Inventory Sales Agreement (the “Agreement”) to which this Exhibit A (Exhibit A”) relates and forms a part, provides that the Feedstock and Products Inventory will be measured and valued in accordance with this Exhibit A.

Part I of this Exhibit A sets forth the procedures for conducting the physical inventory of the Feedstock and Products Inventory (other than the In-Transit Inventory, which shall be estimated or otherwise calculated in accordance with the specific applicable provisions hereof but not subject to a physical inventory as of the Closing, and the Refinery OSBL Line Fill which shall be based on the volumes set forth in Exhibit C) and located at and within the Refinery, the Refinery Tankage and the Third-Party Tankage or Storage as of the Inventory Transfer Time.

Part II of this Exhibit A sets forth the valuation formulae and procedures for valuing the Feedstock and Products Inventory (including the In-Transit Inventory, but excluding any Unit Fill) in order to determine the Estimated Feedstock and Products Sales Amount, Feedstock and Products Sales Statement, and the Final Feedstock and Products Inventory Sales Amount.

All capitalized terms used in this Exhibit A that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.

Part I. Physical Inventory Procedures

 

(A.) INDEPENDENT INSPECTION:

All gauging, temperature measurment, sampling, testing and net volume calculations will be done by the Petroleum Inspection Company with the participation of Buyer’s and Seller’s Inventory Committee representatives using a mutually agreed upon gauging and sampling schedule by tank (the “Inventory Schedule”). The Inventory Schedule will be mutually developed between the Buyer, Seller and Petroleum Inspection Company. All three parties shall have the right to participate in the physical inventory measurement by observing the gauging, temperature readings, sampling, etc. In addition, Buyer and Seller shall each have the right to have its own independent accountants, consultants, or agents present during the physical inventory, at such respective Parties’ sole cost and expense. Inspection/Testing costs for the Petroleum Inspection Company, including, travel, laboratory, and incidental costs (such as bottles, bombs, seals, etc.), shall be shared on a 50/50 basis (i.e., 50% by the Seller and 50% by the Buyer) by the Parties. Any additional requests (outside of the inventory process) to the Petroleum Inspection Company will be billed to the requesting party at 100%.

 

(B.) QUANTIFICATION PROCEDURES:

In determining the quantities of the various Products to be inventoried, all volumes shall be determined on the basis of the Inventory Transfer Time and as of the completion of delivery to the Refinery, the Refinery Tankage, and the Third-Party Tankage or Storage (with respect to any cargo or tender of In-Transit Inventory). Non-usable and non-merchantable quantities are

 

Exhibit A, Page 1


materials such as water, sludge and other foreign contaminants commonly referred to as basic sediment and water (“BS&W”) and shall be excluded for purposes of determining the quantities. BS&W will be determined by using Karl Fisher methodology or Water by Distillation summed with Sediment by Extraction or Membrane Filtration.

 

(C.) INVENTORY MEASUREMENT PROTOCOL:

All gauging, sampling, and analysis related to the determination of quality and quantity of the Feedstock and Products Inventory shall be done in accordance with the latest API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards as published by the American Petroleum Institute (the “API Manual”), ASTM test methods, or by currently accepted industry standards or procedures. The specific standards to be used shall be determined by the Inventory Committee prior to the Closing. Tanks with floating roofs shall contain sufficient Product to fully “float” the roof when it is being gauged. Tanks equipped with steam coils or other means of heating product will have the heat shut off at least one (1) hour prior to gauging. Tank mixers will be shut off at least two (2) hours prior to gauging.

 

(D.) CERTIFICATION OF EQUIPMENT:

The Petroleum Inspection Company will standardize, calibrate and certify all gauging tapes and temperature devices used in the transfer of all Feedstock and Products Inventory. The Petroleum Inspection Company will provide quality assurance documentation for its laboratory used for the physical inventory process. The Petroleum Inspection Company shall make all calibration and certification records available to any Party for review. All Parties may witness the verification of the portable electronic thermometers prior to their use. All laboratory equipment used for testing of the inventory samples will also be calibrated/standardized in accordance with industry and manufacturers procedures.

Prior to the Closing Date, the Inspector will inspect the Refinery’s laboratory testing equipment and procedures for the quality tests scheduled to be done by that laboratory, to verify that they are adequate to comply with the ASTM Standards. Both parties may witness the verification. If the Inspector determines the equipment and procedures to be acceptable to perform the required testing, without objection from either Buyer or Seller, the test results from the laboratory may be accepted without further observation of the testing. If the Refinery’s laboratory capacity is not sufficient or if the equipment and procedures are determined to be inadequate to comply with the ASTM Standards, an independent laboratory’s costs shall be shared equally (50:50 basis) by the Buyer and Seller.

 

(E.) ACCEPTANCE AND REVIEW; INVENTORY COMMITTEE:

The Parties shall be deemed to have accepted the accuracy of the gauging and temperature measurements of a tank as recorded by the Petroleum Inspection Company on the gauge ticket (to be mutually developed) (the “Gauge Ticket”) if the Parties’ respective Inventory Committee representatives “sign-off” on the Gauge Ticket. Additional sampling will be taken by the Petroleum Inspection Company upon the request of either Party at the sole expense of the requesting Party. All inventory measurements (such as gauges, temperature determinations, and water cuts) shall be resolved to the best of their abilities by Buyer, Seller and Inspector at the time measurements are taken. Any disputes will be resolved by noon the following working day.

 

Exhibit A, Page 2


(F.) QUALITATIVE PROCEDURES:

The determination of the quality of some Products must be performed utilizing special laboratory equipment. Samples of such Products shall be jointly taken as described in subsequent sections, and such tests shall be conducted in a mutually acceptable laboratory. The results of the tests so run shall be binding on both Parties.

All testing conducted in the Refinery laboratory is to be witnessed by a chemist employed by the Petroleum Inspection Company. Both Buyer and Seller may have representatives witness all testing.

All issues related to measurement procedures such as sampling, temperature readings, and gauging shall be resolved to the best of their abilities by the Parties’ representatives at the time the measurement is taken. Any remaining disputes shall be resolved by noon the following working day (or in the case of quality disputes, promptly following receipt of test results) by a majority vote of the members of the Inventory Committee.

 

(G.) PRE-CLOSING INVENTORY PROCEDURES:

Prior to the Inventory Transfer Time, Seller’s personnel shall determine which of the Refinery Tankage shall be active and inactive, and which tanks will contain inventory and which will be empty, as of the Inventory Transfer Time. The Inventory Schedule will take into account the determination of active and inactive tankage and will provide for performing the physical inventory of both active and inactive tankage prior to the Inventory Transfer Time. The Inventory Schedule will be subject to the approval of the Inventory Committee, and shall indicate the following for each tank to be inventoried:

 

   

Storage tank location, tank number, tank type, size, capacity (shell and working);

 

   

Status at closing (active or inactive);

 

   

Product stored including classification as sweet, sour, type of crude, etc.;

 

   

Tank reference gauge height;

 

   

Method of Tank gauging (ullage or innage) based on the Tank calibration table; and

 

   

Tank Heels (volume).

Prior to closing, the Inspector will perform a pre-closing survey of the crude oil and heavy fuel (“Black Oil”) tanks at the Facility to measure the actual gauge height, to compare the actual manual gauge to the automatic gauge, and to determine the amounts of solids and sludge accumulated on the bottoms of the tanks. The results of the survey will be made available to all parties prior to Closing. Upon joint agreement by both Parties, this pre-closing survey may be waived for specific products, tanks or Facilities.

 

Exhibit A, Page 3


(H.) PHYSICAL INVENTORY PROCEDURES:

 

  (i) General:

Tanks with floating roofs shall not be in the critical zone of the floating roof when it is being gauged. Tanks equipped with steam coils or other means of heating product will have the heat shut off at least one (1) hour prior to gauging. Tank mixers shall be shut off at least two (2) hours prior to gauging. Temperature measurements will be obtained at the time of gauging, except as otherwise provided herein.

To the extent applicable, the Parties will cooperate in order to develop mutually acceptable procedures to address measurement of Product that is in the midst of delivery to the Refinery or the Refinery Tankage as of the Inventory Transfer Time.

 

  (ii) Nonmoving Tanks (Inactive Tanks):

All Refinery Tankage that is standing with no movement in or out as of the Inventory Transfer Time will be gauged and sampled prior to the Inventory Transfer Time in accordance with the Inventory Schedule. All valves in and out of the tank will be closed and sealed at the time of gauging. The Petroleum Inspection Company will seal the tank valves and will be responsible for recording seal numbers and checking of seals. The Petroleum Inspection Company will provide a measurement and seal report identifying all valves and seals by tank and manifold valve. If it is necessary to break seals to transfer Product into or out of a sealed gauged tank, prior notification and confirmation must be obtained from the Inventory Committee in order to keep accurate records of the proceedings.

Once physical inventory operations have started, no tank switching, changes or movements shall be made without written notification to Buyer, Seller, and the Petroleum Inspection Company’s representatives. If tankage seals are broken, tankage must be resealed when movement stops. Said tankage must then be regauged, resampled and temperature determined anew. Otherwise, it will be gauged as an active tank.

Inactive tanks that are required for thermal relief of connecting pipelines will be gauged using the inactive tanks’ automatic gauge readings. Each automatic gauge will be calibrated as close to the Inventory Transfer Time as possible. The automatic gauge reading will be monitored every 10 minutes for 90 minutes before and after the Inventory Transfer Time to confirm that there was no movement into or out of said inactive tank. In cases where the automatic gauge readings indicate tank movement, the tank will be gauged as an active tank.

 

  (iii) Moving Tanks (Active Tanks):

Active Refinery Tankage that must have movements in or out during the physical inventory quantification process as of the Inventory Transfer Time will be manually gauged during a period in which the active tanks are temporarily inactive, as close to the Inventory Transfer Time as possible. The physical inventory of the active Refinery Tankage will be obtained using the applicable procedures prescribed herein and must coincide with the “closing” of rack meters where appropriate.

 

Exhibit A, Page 4


Refinery Tankage that will remain active during the inventory period will be measured as close to the Inventory Transfer Time as possible. The gross inventory measurement will be compared against the tanks’ automatic gauges. The volume difference between the two measurements, in gross inches or fractions thereof, will be recorded on the tanks’ physical inventory worksheet. The Petroleum Inspection Company report will identify each tank by number, location and description.

 

  (iv) Loaded Tank Trucks and Rail Cars:

All outbound loaded trucks and rail cars which have been ticketed for sale at the Inventory Transfer Time, other than such trucks and rail cars constituting Finished Product In-Transit, will be considered as a Seller account receivable unless previously paid and will not be part of the Feedstock and Products Inventory. Except for the Retained Feedstock and Products, all loaded trucks and railcars which have not been ticketed for sale will be part of the Feedstock and Products Inventory.

 

  (v) Sulfur:

Sulfur, if any will be sold pursuant to this Agreement, will be measured in accordance production records maintained by the Seller, or through other means agreeable by the Inventory Committee and Petroleum Inspection Company.

 

  (vi) Finished Product In-Transit:

Finished Product In-Transit will be measured in accordance with inventory records maintained by Seller, as confirmed by the Inventory Committee.

 

  (vii) Unit Fill:

Unit Fill will not be measured

 

  (viii) Sampling, Testing, and Retention of the Inventory Samples:

1. Intermediates and Heavy Oil Products: A minimum of two sample sets consisting of one quart zone samples from the upper, middle, and lower liquid zones (as those terms are defined or used in the API Manual) will be obtained per tank per API Manual or ASTM D4057 (Standard Practice for Sampling of Petroleum and Petroleum Products). In the chosen laboratory, a one quart volumetric blend will be prepared for the inventory quality analyses. The number of sample sets and volume of laboratory blend shall be adjusted based on the defined inventory quality analyses.

2. Light Oil Products: A minimum of two sample sets consisting of one quart average sample will be obtained per tank per the API Manual or ASTM D4057 (Standard Practice for Sampling of Petroleum and Petroleum Products). At the Inventory Committee’s discretion and approval the amount/volume of sample obtained will be increased dependent on required laboratory analyses.

 

Exhibit A, Page 5


3. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Samples: All inventory LPGs will have two sample sets consisting of a liquid phase sample and a vapor phase sample obtained per the API Manual, ASTM D1265 (Practice for Sampling Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gases (Manual Method) or ASTM D3700 (Standard Practice for Obtaining LPG Samples Using a Floating Piston Cylinder). One set of the sealed samples will be retained a minimum of two (2) weeks by the Petroleum Inspection Company.

4. Petroleum Coke and Sulfur: Petroleum coke and sulfur, if any, will be sampled in accordance with ASTM D346 (Collection and Preparation of Coke Samples for Laboratory Analysis), ASTM D2234 (Collection of Gross Sample of Coal) or other mutually agreed procedure.

5. Lubes: A minimum of two sample sets consisting of one quart average sample will be obtained per tank per the API Manual or ASTM D4057 (Standard Practice for Sampling of Petroleum and Petroleum Products). At the Inventory Committee’s discretion and approval the amount/volume of sample obtained will be increased dependent on required laboratory analyses.

6. Asphalt: Asphalt will be sampled in accordance with ASTM D 140 (Standard Practice of Sampling Bituminous Materials).

7. Additive Tanks: If Product additive tanks contain diluents blended with the additives, then prior to the Closing Date the Facilities’ personnel will provide the Parties the blending/dilution ratios for additives in the tanks.

8. Retention: Of the sample sets obtained during the physical inventory process, one half (1/2) of each set will be sealed and retained by the Petroleum Inspection Company. The unused portion(s) of the analyzed sample sets will also be sealed and retained. These sealed samples will be maintained by the Petroleum Inspection Company for a minimum period of ninety (90) days or a mutually agreed retention time. LPG samples will be retained as specified in 3. above. At the time of disposal, the Petroleum Inspection Company will properly dispose of samples and appropriate “cradle to grave” documentation forwarded to Seller and Buyer. All retained samples shall be made available to either Buyer or Seller after a three day notice is given and approved by the other party.

 

  (ix) Measurement:

All measurements taken during the physical inventory process will be performed by the Petroleum Inspection Company. The following will be measured, recorded/obtained and documented by the Petroleum Inspection Company on the individual Gauge Ticket: (1) tank location, identification, and type, (2) date and time of measurements, (3) product type within tank, (4) manual gauge recorded in appropriate units and fractional units, (5) measurement method, that is, innage or ullage, (6)

 

Exhibit A, Page 6


temperature readings, (7) free water measurement recorded in appropriate units, (8) Tank Heels, (9) the tanks automatic reading, and (10) tank pressure as applicable to pressurized tanks or vessels.

Duplicate calculations will be made in determining the net inventory contained in each tank at 60 degrees F or the appropriate temperature base for each Product in inventory and in each tank. Seller will make a set of calculations based on “normal” inventory calculation methods at the respective Facilities. The second set of measurements will be made independently by the Inspector. The Inspector’s final calculation after review by Buyer and Seller will determine the net inventory.

 

(I.) METER READINGS – LOADING RACKS AND PIPELINES:

 

  (i) Inactive Systems:

Meter readings shall be obtained on all inactive metered systems (tank truck rack, rail car rack and pipeline) in advance of the Inventory Transfer Time. The Petroleum Inspection Company will secure these systems by sealing the same and inserting meter tickets in these meters to ensure that no Product is moved through these systems during the physical inventory process and the Petroleum Inspection Company report will clearly identify the date and time.

The last tickets used to record Product sales, incoming receipts, Product shipments, and other Product movements will be legibly photocopied and retained by Buyer, Seller, and the Petroleum Inspection Company.

 

  (ii) Active Systems:

Meter readings shall be obtained on all active metered systems coincident with the physical inventory measurements obtained on the storage tank(s) by supplying said metered systems. New meter tickets shall be inserted at this time. Where practical and non-interfering with normal refinery operations, active tanks shall be shut down immediately prior to and during the physical inventory.

The last tickets used to record Product sales or other Product transactions through the meters will be photocopied and retained by Buyer, Seller, and the Petroleum Inspection Company.

 

(J.) POST-INVENTORY PROCEDURES:

(i) Both of the Parties’ representatives shall sign the Gauge Ticket or gauge worksheet for each tank inventoried, which shall include the calculation of gross observed volume and Net Standard Volume. The Buyer’s and Seller’s signature on the Gauge Ticket or gauge worksheet shall indicate agreement with all physical measurements recorded on the ticket or sheet.

 

Exhibit A, Page 7


(ii) Similarly, the Parties’ representatives shall identify and acknowledge all closing meter readings, as well as the last rack sale, Product shipment, and Product receipt prior to the physical inventory.

(iii) An inspection shall be made to assure that all systems previously closed and sealed remained inactive during the physical inventory and that no Product movements occurred through these systems. At this time all seals will be removed by the Petroleum Inspection Company.

 

(K.) CALCULATION OF FINAL INVENTORY QUANTITY:

The Petroleum Inspection Company will tabulate the data from the signed individual tank Gauge Tickets and using current tank calibration tables will determine the total observed volume for each tank (“Total Observed Volume”). Correcting for Free Water, applying roof corrections, applying tank shell corrections, and using the most current CTL and CPL correction factors, the Total Observed Volumes will be corrected to Gross Standard Volumes and then to Net Standard Volumes. Volumes within LPG inventory tanks will be corrected for vapor. The Petroleum Inspection Company will produce a final report reporting its conclusions of its calculation of the Inventory Quantity and Quality. The final report is due by the Petroleum Inspection Company to the parties no later than ten (10) business days after Closing. After review and signature of all parties, the Petroleum Inspection Company’s final calculation will be the Final Inventory Quantity. Volumes within Residual Tanks will be corrected to Net Standard Volume only for the BS&W exceeding 1.0% by volume. For purposes of this Exhibit D, the term (i) “Gross Standard Volume” means the volume at 60 degrees Fahrenheit and one atmosphere of pressure (14.696 PSIA), including suspended sediment and water, as calculated by the most recent standards under the API Manual, (ii) “Net Standard Volume” means the volume at 60 degrees Fahrenheit and one atmosphere of pressure (14.696 PSIA) after deducting BS&W from the Gross Standard Volume, (iii) “CTL” means the Correction for the effect of Temperature on Liquid, and (iv) “CPL” means the Correction for the effect of Pressure on Liquid.

* These cargos are not Unpaid Crude Oil In-Transit but are described herein for the purpose of identifying commitments which Seller has made for the purchase of Crude Oil for processing at the Refinery following the Closing Date. Pursuant to the Tri-Party Agreement of even date herewith between Seller, Buyer and SMT, Seller will sell this Crude Oil to SMT on an FOB basis at the load port. SMT will arrange for and charter vessel. SMT will pay Seller for such cargos on the same terms and conditions as Seller is required to pay its supplier, which terms are set out on Exhibit C to the Tri-Party Agreement.
** These cargo commitments/contracts are Unpaid Crude Oil In-Transit but Seller, Buyer and SMT each anticipate that Buyer and/or SMT will enter into a new term contract (the “Buyer/SMT Saudi Contract”) with Saudi Arabian Oil Company (“Aramco”). If the Buyer/SMT Saudi Contract is entered into prior to loading, Seller, Buyer and SMT shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have these cargos transferred from Seller’s contract with Aramco to the Buyer/SMT Saudi Contract in a timely manner that allows SMT to charter vessels to carry such cargos in a commercially reasonable manner. If they are so transferred, these cargo commitments/contracts shall not be purchased by Valero and shall cease to be Unpaid Crude Oil In-Transit. If (a) the Buyer/SMT Saudi Contract is not executed prior to the loading date or (b) the parties are unsuccessful in their efforts to transfer the cargo commitments/contracts to the Buyer/SMT Saudi Contract in a timely manner that allows SMT to charter vessels for such cargos in a commercially reasonable manner by the loading date, these cargo commitments/contracts shall remain Unpaid Crude Oil In-Transit and be delivered to Buyer/SMT in the same manner as all other Unpaid Crude Oil In-Transit.

WHEREAS, the Parties are desirous of entering into an agreement whereby Seller will sell and Buyer will purchase a quantity of Products (as defined below).

WHEREAS, At Closing, Seller may concurrently sell or assign the Products to certain third parties who will sell the Products directly to Buyer, provided, however, Seller shall remain responsible for all obligations under this Agreement to Buyer.

WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell to Buyer and Buyer desires to purchase from Seller the Products pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, as a condition precedent to Closing under the SPA, the SPA Seller and Seller require the execution of this Agreement.

   For each jet fuel batch delivered to the Philadelphia airport by the Seller, the airport creates a document splitting the batch up for each individual airport customer. The document is used as the basis for volume billed to each customer. With the formation of this Agreement, the airport will create a separate document with a customer line item that reads Valero/FedEx. This document will serve as the basis for the Seller’s invoice to the Buyer.

PAYMENT:

   Buyer shall pay such invoice within ten (10) calendar days from date of invoice.

TITLE AND ROL:

   Title and risk of loss shall pass from Seller to Buyer at the Jet Fuel Delivery Point.

 

Exhibit C, Page 1


   NOMINATIONS: On or before the 10th day of each calendar month, Buyer shall provide Seller with its monthly nominations for Jet Fuel for the following month (each an “Offtake Nomination”). PBF will cover the existing nomination for December 2010. Beginning January 1, 2011, the aggregate volume of Jet Fuel to be purchased by Buyer will not vary by more than ten percent (10%) from the monthly nominated volumes thereof. Seller agrees to deliver the Jet Fuel and Buyer agrees to lift the Jet Fuel in accordance with the Offtake Nomination for each month in which deliveries are scheduled unless mutually agreeable changes are made.

issued and the original received by Seller not later than three Business Days prior to the first day of the contractual delivery window, in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller and issued by an Acceptable Letter of Credit Issuer. Such letter of credit shall be opened with sufficient value to cover the aggregate contractual volume plus ten percent (10%) times the aggregate price specified for such Product.

The letter of credit shall include an expanded validity for shipment period starting five days prior and ending five days after the contractual delivery window. All bank charges related to the letter of credit are for the account of Buyer. The letter of credit shall not expire until 30 days after the final invoice due date.

The failure to deliver timely a substitute letter of credit or other collateral acceptable as required by Seller or the Requesting Party (in the case of Performance Assurance in the form of a letter of credit) shall be an event of default as to the relevant transaction or transactions under this Agreement.

5. Quality, Quantity and Inspection.

(a) Inspection and Measurement of Products. API/ASTM Standards or the latest revisions thereof shall be complied with at all times. All volumes or quantities of Products shall be adjusted per API/ASTM Standards. Metering systems shall conform to the API/ASTM Standards then in effect relative to meter calibration/accuracy.

At the designated point of custody and title transfer, the Independent Inspector shall hand gauge and record static shore tank measurements immediately before and immediately after delivery of the Products to determine the volume of Products delivered. If relevant shore tank gauge measurements are not possible, then properly certified meter measurement is acceptable. If neither static shore tank measurement or certified meters are available then determination of the volumes will be agreed to by the Parties. The quality of Product delivered by Vessel shall be based on analysis performed using in-line sampler or shore tank composite samples taken prior to loading.

6. Compliance with Applicable Laws. Seller and Buyer each agree to comply fully in the performance of this Agreement with all Applicable Laws. All Products sold to Buyer under this Agreement shall be produced and delivered in full compliance with all Applicable Law. The failure of Products to conform to the requirements of Applicable Law shall, in addition to all of its available remedies, entitle Buyer to return the Products to Seller or take such other steps as are reasonably necessary to comply with Applicable Law.

7. Warranty of Title. Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that (i) as of the date of delivery of the Products hereunder, Seller has marketable title to the Products sold and delivered, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, other than taxes that are due by Buyer and governmental and statutory liens securing payments not yet due and payable; (ii) Seller has full right and authority to transfer such title of such Products to Buyer and (iii) the Products conform to the Specifications. EXCEPT FOR THOSE EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS, GUARANTEES OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND THAT OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AS APPLICABLE, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE (OR LACK THEREOF) INCONSISTENT HEREWITH, SELLER HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS, GUARANTEES OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OF THE PRODUCT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Seller’s failure to deliver Product and Buyer’s failure to lift Product, each in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement for any reason other than those included in Section 4, Financial Responsibility, and Section 13, Force Majeure, shall constitute a default under this Agreement. Additional conditions concerning Vessels into or from the Refinery shall be in accordance with the Marine Terms.

10. Indemnity. SELLER AND BUYER MUTUALLY COVENANT TO AND SHALL PROTECT, DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD EACH OTHER AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS AND CONTRACTORS HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, SUITS, LOSSES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, COSTS OF DEFENSE, ATTORNEYS’ FEES, PENALTIES AND INTEREST), DAMAGES, CAUSES OF ACTION AND LIABILITY OF EVERY TYPE AND CHARACTER WITHOUT REGARD TO AMOUNT (TOGETHER, “LOSSES”) CAUSED BY, ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF NEGLIGENCE OR WRONGDOING OF SUCH INDEMNIFYING PARTY, ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS OR AGENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF PRODUCTS HEREUNDER, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH LOSSES ARE CAUSED BY, ARISE OUT OF OR RESULT FROM THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF NEGLIGENCE OR WRONGDOING OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY.

calculation or measure of the levy or assessment, shall be paid by the Party upon which the Tax is imposed by the applicable taxing authority. To the extent a Party (“X”) is required by Applicable Law to pay or remit certain Taxes on behalf of the other Party (“Y”) or X otherwise pays Taxes for which Y is liable, Y shall reimburse X to the extent X paid such Taxes. Y’s reimbursements of Taxes to X shall be grossed up as necessary to return to X, after payment of any taxes thereon, the amount actually paid by X. A Party shall not be responsible for any penalties or interest related to the obligations of the other Party in respect of Taxes to the extent such penalties or interest accrue based on the actions or inactions of the other Party.

13. Force Majeure.

(a) Affect of Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party if it is rendered unable by an event of Force Majeure to perform in whole or in part any obligation or condition under this Agreement, for so long as the event of Force Majeure exists and to the extent that performance is hindered by the event of Force Majeure; provided, however, that the Party unable to perform shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove the event of Force Majeure (provided, however, no Party shall be compelled to resolve any strikes, lockouts or other industrial disputes other than as it shall determine to be in its best interests). During the period that a Party’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement has been suspended in whole or part by reason of an event of Force Majeure, the other Party likewise may suspend the performance of all or part of its obligations to the extent that such suspension is commercially reasonable, except for any payment and indemnification obligations arising prior to the occurrence of such Force Majeure event.

(b) Notice. If the event of Force Majeure renders either Party unable, in whole or in part, to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, such Party (the “Notifying Party”) must give the other Party (the “Noticed Party”) notice and full particulars in writing as soon as practicable after the occurrence of the causes relied upon, or give notice by telephone and follow such notice with a written confirmation within forty-eight (48) hours.

The Liquidating Party shall calculate the difference, if any, between the price specified in each contract so liquidated, and the market price for the relevant commodity as of the date of liquidation (as determined by the Liquidating Party in any commercially reasonable manner), and aggregate or net such settlement payments, as

 

Exhibit D, Page 11


appropriate, to a single liquidated amount. Payment of said settlement payment will be due and payable within one (1) Banking Day after reasonable notice of liquidation.

TERMINALING SERVICES FOR INHAUL

1. In Hauling Services. During any Outage, Buyer shall have the right to inhaul any and all Light Products to the Refinery sufficient to meet Buyer’s marketing requirements (all such Light Products which Seller inhauls shall be referred to as the “Inhaul Products”) and Seller shall perform the following services for Buyer: (i) receipt of the Inhaul Products by Vessel, truck or pipeline, (ii) storage, handling and blending of the Inhaul Products, (iii) redelivery of the Inhaul Products to Buyer via pump over to the NuStar Terminal Truck Rack as provided in the Agreement; (iii) vapor recovery of the Inhaul Products as required by Applicable Law; and (iv) such other services as the Parties may mutually agree upon (collectively, the “Inhaul Services”). Seller will provide the labor and supervision necessary to perform the Inhaul Services and will provide and maintain the equipment necessary to perform the Inhaul Services contemplated by this Exhibit E.

2. Description of Facilities. As part of the Inhaul Services and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Exhibit E, Seller shall provide, operate and maintain at the Refinery for Buyer’s use, adequate tanks for storage of the Inhaul Products (the “Tanks”). Buyer shall also have the right to use the Docks, pipelines, gauges, pumps and related appurtenances sufficient to receive Inhaul Products from the Docks into the Tanks and thereafter deliver such Inhaul Products from the Tanks to the NuStar Terminal (collectively the “Inhaul Facilities”). Subject to the terms of this Exhibit E, the Inhaul Facilities shall be available and accessible for Vessel receipt twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week. All such Inhaul Facilities shall be maintained by Seller at its cost and expense consistent with good industry practice.

3. Inhaul Product Specifications. The Inhaul Products received hereunder for delivery into the Tanks shall meet the same specification set forth in Exhibit A to the Agreement for the Light Products (the “Inhaul Specifications”) as may be modified from time to time with the mutual, written consent of the Parties. Seller shall have no obligation to receive and handle any Inhaul Products which do not meet the Inhaul Specifications. Seller or any of its Affiliates may impose other limitations on the Inhaul Products in order to (i) comply with Applicable Laws, including environmental permits, (ii) protect health and safety, and (iii) protect the pumps, pipes, tanks, and other equipment at the Refinery.

4. Sampling and Testing. Seller may sample and test (or cause to be sampled and/or tested) any Inhaul Product being delivered into or stored at the Refinery in order to verify Buyer’s compliance with this Agreement and to maintain the quality of the lnhaul Products. If the Inhaul Products do not meet the Inhaul Specifications when delivered to the Refinery, Buyer will be responsible for the cost of all sampling, testing, handling, blending and removal conducted by or on behalf of Seller. Testing conducted by or on behalf of Seller will be done in accordance with then-current ASTM procedures. Seller will provide (or arrange to provide) Buyer with a copy of any testing reports produced or obtained by Seller regarding any Inhaul Product.

 

Exhibit E, Page 1


5. Title and Risk of Loss. Title to Buyer’s Inhaul Products will remain with Buyer at all times. For Vessel receipts at the Refinery, custody of Inhaul Products shall pass to Seller upon receipt at the Refinery when the Inhaul Product passes the last permanent Vessel flange into the Refinery discharge hoses. When Inhaul Products are delivered to Buyer via pump over to the NuStar Terminal, custody of the Inhaul Products shall pass back to Buyer at the custody transfer meter located on the pipeline connecting the Refinery to the NuStar Terminal.

6. Inhaul Product Measurement. Seller will measure the quantity of the Inhaul Product received and delivered at the Refinery in accordance with API procedures, including temperature correction to 60° Fahrenheit, and measurements made by Seller will be binding on Buyer absent fraud or manifest error. Buyer may witness, or appoint an inspector reasonably acceptable to Seller to witness, measurements taken by Seller. The following measurement methods will apply:

(a) Vessel. Seller will measure the quantity of Inhaul Products received at the Refinery by Vessel by using one of the following methods, in descending order of preference: (a) shore meter, if available; (b) gauging the Refinery’s Tanks, or (c) the Vessel volume with qualified VEF will apply with qualified load VEF when Vessel receives and qualified discharge VEF when Vessel delivers. All deliveries of Inhaul Products to the Refinery by Vessel shall be on Vessels vetted by Buyer.

All meters, provers and other gauging equipment owned and operated by Seller shall be operated and maintained in good working condition by Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, in accordance with API’s Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards, as may be amended by API from time to time. With reasonable advance notice, such equipment may be inspected and tested at any and all reasonable times, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, by any duly authorized representative of Buyer.

7. Delivery and Receipt. Except for carriers loaded with an automated loading rack, Buyer will schedule Inhaul Products deliveries and receipts with Seller in advance. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that since the Inhaul Facilities will be shared with Seller and [REDACTED] if [REDACTED] elects to inhaul under the [REDACTED], reasonable scheduling requirements may be adopted by Seller to accommodate the Inhaul Products and the other products that Seller or [REDACTED] is receiving and delivering at the Refinery.

8. Product Loss.

(a) Except for normal handling and evaporation losses which are provided for in Section 9(c) below, and subject to the remedies and limitations set forth in Section 9(c) below, Seller will only be liable to Buyer for any contamination, damage, degradation, misdelivery or loss of Inhaul Product while such Inhaul Product is in the custody of Seller, unless Seller establishes that any such contamination, damage, degradation, misdelivery or loss was not the result of Seller’s or its employee’s, contractor’s or agent’s, gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement, provided, however, Buyer must make any claims for the contamination, damage, degradation misdelivery, or loss of Inhaul Product by notice to Seller within ninety (90) days of the date that Buyer knew or should have known of the contamination, damage, degradation,

 

Exhibit E, Page 2


misdelivery or loss, absent fraud. If pursuant to this Section 9, Seller is liable for Buyer’s claim for contamination, damage, degradation, misdelivery, or loss of Inhaul Product, at Seller’s option, Seller will either (1) replace Product of like kind and quality at the Refinery or some agreed location, (2) reimburse Buyer for the value of the Inhaul Product so contaminated or lost, or (3) restore Product to receipt quality.

(b) Seller’s liability arising out of the contamination, damage, degradation, misdelivery or loss of Inhaul Product will not exceed the fair market value for an equivalent quantity of undamaged Inhaul Product less (except in the case of normal handling and evaporation losses): the fair market salvage value of the contaminated, damaged, or degraded Inhaul Product. Fair market value will be determined using the Argus posted price, as applicable, based on the seven (7) day wrap average price around the date the loss occurred, which shall mean the average of the applicable posted prices for the three (3) days prior to, the day of, and the three (3) days after, the date the loss occurred. The seven (7) day wrap average price shall be calculated for the seven (7) consecutive days on which Argus post prices for the Inhaul Product. In the event Argus does not post a price for the relevant Inhaul Product, the Parties will select a mutually agreeable price proxy for the purposes of determining fair market value.

(c) Seller shall only be responsible to Buyer for normal handling and evaporation losses in excess of one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the quantity of Inhaul Products received at the Refinery for Buyer’s account during such calendar year (the “Loss Allowance”). As soon as reasonably possible after the end of each month during the Term of this Agreement, Seller shall account to Buyer for the Inhaul Products so received by custody transfer document based on mode of delivery during the previous month. Seller shall be liable to Buyer, as is hereafter provided, for the net difference between all quantities of Buyer’s Inhaul Products so received at the Refinery and the quantities of all of Buyer’s Inhaul Products in inventory and loaded out of the Refinery during such month, less the Loss Allowance and the quantity of any such petroleum Inhaul Products reasonably used for line flushings, rack meter provings, product downgrades upon receipt, or product sampling in connection with the operations conducted by Seller. Seller shall account to Buyer as soon reasonably possible after the termination of the Inhaul Services.

9. Nominations and Demurrage on Trucks and Vessels.

(a) Buyer will arrange with Seller for the delivery of all Inhaul Products at the Docks by one or more Vessels nominated by Buyer which have been vetted and otherwise approved in advance by Seller in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. All movements and receipts or deliveries of the Inhaul Products hereunder, whether by tank transfer, tank truck, or Vessel, shall be on a nonpreferential, first come/first served basis, and Seller shall not be responsible for any loss, damage, demurrage, or expense due to delay in loading or unloading the Inhaul Products, except for any delays caused by Seller’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

(b) Buyer shall exercise reasonable business efforts to give Seller at least seven (7) days advance notice of the arrival of each Vessel and at least twelve (12) hours advance

 

Exhibit E, Page 3


notice of the arrival of each barge making deliveries of Inhaul Products into the Terminal, specifying the quantity and nature of Inhaul Products into the storage hereunder. Such Vessels will be accommodated with every vessel using the Terminal in the order of arrival. Vessels loading or discharging for Buyer’s account will be subject to Seller’s applicable dock rules as they may be in effect from time to time and such Vessels will proceed to and from the Docks with promptness and dispatch. The tankers, barges and vessels will load or unload, as the case may be, on a continuous basis.

(c) Buyer acknowledges that the berthing of Vessels at the Docks is subject to the limitations, restrictions, instructions and directives of the local port and harbor authorities. Subject to such limitations as may be imposed by those government agencies, Seller will cooperate with Buyer to assist Buyer in avoiding or minimizing such costs, including, giving priority to the unloading of Product out of Vessels incurring demurrage charges as and when reasonable under the circumstances and maintaining service to all customers including Buyer on a first come/first served basis.

(d) Additional conditions concerning Vessels into or from the Refinery shall be in accordance with the Marine Provisions.

Exhibit I to Stock Purchase Agreement

TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT

THIS TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) dated December 17, 2010, is made and entered into by and between VALERO REFINING AND MARKETING COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (“Seller”), and PBF HOLDING COMPANY LLC, a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), (each a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have meanings assigned to them in the SPA (as that term is defined below).

Introduction

Buyer and Seller have entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of September 24, 2010 (the “SPA”), pursuant to which Buyer has acquired the Shares and thus, indirectly, the Refinery and the Business.

Buyer has requested that Seller and its Affiliates, as appropriate, provide certain services to Buyer and Buyer’s Affiliates for the period provided for herein to help facilitate the continued operation of the Business until such time as Buyer and its Affiliates have fully transitioned all aspects of running the Business over to Buyer’s personnel, systems, policies and procedures.

Seller has agreed to provide (or cause to be provided by its Affiliates or otherwise) the services described in this Agreement, according to its terms and conditions.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, and the mutual promises and covenants hereinafter contained, the Parties hereto, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, agree as follows:

SECTION 1. SERVICES PROVIDED BY SELLER TO BUYER

In order to continue the operation of the Business and to facilitate the orderly and effective transition of the Business from Seller to Buyer, Seller and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Buyer and its Affiliates with certain services (collectively, the “Services”) to the extent such Services may be reasonably requested by Buyer from time to time for the term of this Agreement.

The Services are set forth in Exhibit A, a copy of which is attached to and made a part of this Agreement. The applicable rates, fees and charges associated with each Service are also set forth in Exhibit A. The hourly rates in Exhibit A for Services to be performed by employees of Seller and its Affiliates are based upon fully loaded rates contained in Seller’s and its Affiliates’ 2007 budgets, and do not include a profit component. Any provision by Seller of services not specifically detailed in Exhibit A must be mutually agreed upon in advance in a written amendment to this Agreement containing the scope, rates, fees and charges associated with such additional services. Seller reserves the right to outsource any Services by way of third party contracts, and such Services shall be billed to Buyer on a cost pass-through basis, without mark-up.

 

1


SECTION 2. PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES

2.1 Manner of Performance. Seller agrees that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its personnel who previously supported the Business prior to the Closing Date to perform the Services with the same degree of care, skill, confidentiality and diligence with which such personnel perform similar services for Seller and its Affiliates. Seller shall not be required to add staff, equipment, facilities or other resources in order to provide any Service. If a dispute arises over the nature or quality of the Services, the prior practice of Seller with respect to the Services (since the time of Seller’s acquisition by Valero Energy Corporation), as determined from the books and records of Seller relating to the Business, shall be conclusive as to the nature and quality of the Services.

2.2 Provision of Information. Any data, information, equipment or general directions necessary for Seller or any of its Affiliates to perform the Services shall be submitted by Buyer or its Affiliates in a timely manner. Information, data and directions to be provided by Seller and its Affiliates as part of the Services shall likewise be provided to Buyer in a timely manner.

2.3 Termination of Any Service. The termination of any one or more of the specific Services shall have no impact on Seller’s obligation to continue to provide any other Services.

2.4 Laws and Regulations. Seller and Buyer acknowledge that the Services shall be provided only with respect to the Business. Buyer represents and agrees that it and its Affiliates will use the Services provided hereunder only in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, and in accordance with the conditions, rules, regulations and specifications which may be set forth in any manuals, materials, documents or instructions made available or communicated by Seller to Buyer or any of its Affiliates on an ongoing basis throughout the term of this Agreement. In performing the Services, Seller will comply and will cause its Affiliates to comply, with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. Seller reserves the right to take all actions, including termination of any particular Service or Services, that Seller reasonably believes to be necessary to assure compliance with applicable laws and regulations (including specifically, but without limitation, any applicable antitrust laws and regulations); provided, however, that Seller will provide Buyer with as much prior notice as practical before taking any such action.

2.5 Modification of Service Levels. While the Parties recognize that Buyer will initially need considerable assistance with the operation of the Business, they also acknowledge that Buyer’s goal is to steadily increase its ability to operate the Business without Seller’s and its Affiliates’ assistance. In furtherance of such goal, prior to the end of the sixth calendar month following the Closing Date and prior to the end of each calendar month thereafter, the Parties will review the Services provided to discuss whether the Services will remain at the same level or decrease during the next immediately succeeding month. Buyer will notify Seller in writing of any Service reduction or termination of Services pursuant to Section 8. Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to transition from the Services to self-operation as soon as reasonably possible, and will accordingly strive to reduce or terminate, pursuant to this Section 2.5 and Section 8, each Service as soon as practicable.

SECTION 3. CHARGES FOR SERVICES

From and after the date of this Agreement and throughout the term of this Agreement, Buyer agrees to pay to Seller on a monthly basis the service fees set forth on Exhibit A. Monthly charges for a month that includes the Closing Date or a termination date for the Agreement or any individual Service shall be prorated, based on the number of days such Services are provided in such partial month.

SECTION 4. PAYMENT OF CHARGES AND REIMBURSEMENTS

On or before the 15th day of each month during the term of this Agreement, Seller shall make a diligent effort to submit to Buyer (or its designee) an invoice for the Services provided hereunder during the immediately preceding calendar month representing amounts determined in accordance with Section 3, above, if any. Subject to Section 5.2, and except for amounts being disputed by Buyer in good faith, Buyer shall remit payment within thirty (30) days after its receipt of such invoice. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, Buyer shall remit all funds due under this Agreement to Seller (or its designee) either by wire transfer or Automated Clearing House (ACH) in immediately available funds based on the instructions set forth in Exhibit B, a copy of which is attached to and made a part of this Agreement.

If either Seller or any of its Affiliates incurs any reasonable out-of-pocket expense or remits funds to a third party on behalf of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, in either case in connection with the rendering of any Service, then Seller shall include such amount on its monthly statement to Buyer, and Buyer will reimburse that amount to Seller (or its designee) as part of its monthly payment.

SECTION 5. RECORDS AND AUDITS

5.1 Records Maintenance and Audits. Seller shall, for the time period required by applicable law after the termination of this Agreement, maintain records and other evidence sufficient to accurately and properly reflect the performance of the Services hereunder and the amounts due determined in accordance with Section 3 hereof. Buyer or its representatives shall have reasonable access, after requesting such access in writing in advance, during normal business hours to such records for the purpose of auditing and verifying the accuracy of the invoices submitted regarding such amounts due. Any such audits performed by or on behalf of Buyer shall be at Buyer’s sole cost and expense. Buyer shall have the right to audit Seller’s books for a period of one (1) year after the month in which the Services were rendered, except in those circumstances where contracts by Seller or any of its Affiliates with third parties limit the audit period to less than one year.

5.2 Disputed Amounts. In the event of a good-faith dispute as to the amount and/or propriety of any invoices or any portions thereof submitted pursuant to Sections 3 and 4, if any, Buyer shall pay all undisputed charges on such invoice, but shall be entitled to withhold payment of any amount in dispute and shall promptly notify Seller in writing of such disputed amounts and the reasons each such charge is disputed. Upon written request, Seller shall use commercially

reasonable efforts to provide Buyer with sufficient records relating to the disputed charge so as to enable the Parties to resolve the dispute. In the event the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days after the invoice becomes due, the matter shall be submitted to Grant Thornton LLP, or such other accounting firm as the Parties shall agree. The fees and expenses related to such resolution of the dispute by such firm shall be borne 50% by Buyer and 50% by Seller. Buyer shall remit payment of the amount determined by such firm to be properly payable not later than ten (10) days following such determination, together with interest thereon calculated daily at the Applicable Rate. In the event of any overpayments by Buyer, Seller agrees to promptly (a) refund any such overpaid amount to Buyer, as well as (b) pay interest on the overpayment calculated daily at the Applicable Rate. The determination of such accounting firm in resolution of the dispute shall be final and binding upon the Parties and enforceable by either Party in any court of competent jurisdiction, absent fraud or manifest error. So long as the Parties are attempting to resolve the dispute, neither Party shall be entitled to terminate the Services related to, or the cause of, the disputed amounts.

5.3 Undisputed Amounts. Any statement or payment not disputed in writing by Seller or Buyer, as applicable, within one (1) year of the date of such statement or payment shall be considered final and no longer subject to dispute or adjustment.

SECTION 6. CONFIDENTIALITY

Each Party acknowledges that in connection with its performance under this Agreement, it may gain access to confidential material and information that is proprietary to the other Party. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, each Party agrees:

(a) to hold such material and information in strict confidence and not make use thereof other than for performance under or enforcement of this Agreement or the operation of the Business;

(b) to reveal such material and information only to those employees and contractors requiring such information in connection with the performance of the Services or the operation of the Business only after such employees agree to be bound by the provisions of this confidentiality provision; and

II. Nature and Scope of Services

The Services consist of those set forth below in this Exhibit.

Where this Exhibit contemplates that Seller or its Affiliates will provide general advice, training or consultation, the Parties anticipate that such advice, training or consultation, if not provided by telephone, facsimile or email, will be provided in person either at the Refinery (with respect to Services heretofore provided at the Refinery) or at the San Antonio offices of Seller and certain of its Affiliates (with respect to Services normally performed by Seller and its Affiliates in San Antonio).

 

IV. Competition

The sole purpose of this Agreement is to effect the timely and orderly transition of the Business from Seller to Buyer in a manner intended to minimize Business disruption, which could in turn disrupt the supply of refined products to relevant markets. Because Seller and Buyer desire to ensure compliance with state and federal laws relating to the preservation of competition, and to avoid even the possible appearance of impropriety, they agree as follows:

 

1. There shall be no discussion or exchange of information between the parties regarding past, present or future pricing decisions or any aspect of prices, except as they relate to the Refinery and then only to the extent necessary in the performance of the Services and the transition of the Business.

2. There shall be no discussion or exchange of information between the parties regarding costs they have incurred for crude oil or any other aspect of their respective businesses, except as they relate to the Refinery and then only to the extent necessary in the performance of the Services and the transition of the Business.

 

3. Discussions or the exchange of any information that may be competitively sensitive are to be avoided. This would include information regarding the parties’ sales, inventory volumes, production levels and capacity, distribution and marketing strategies and business expansion or contraction plans, except as the foregoing relate to the Refinery and then only to the extent necessary in the performance of the Services and the transition of the Business.

[REDACTED]

VII. Strategic Sourcing. Seller’s Strategic Sourcing personnel will assist the Refinery procurement staff in the administration of any Multi-Site Contracts that the vendors thereunder have agreed to continue to honor as to the Refinery post-Closing, to the same extent as the Strategic Sourcing group has heretofore supported the Refinery. In addition, Strategic Sourcing personnel will provide Buyer with the names of vendor account managers for such Multi-Site Contracts.

VIII. Human Resources. Seller will assist with the administration of human resources systems services heretofore provided by Seller’s and its Affiliates’ headquarters level personnel, including payroll (including related timekeeping), benefits administration (while on Valero’s benefits), personnel records management, training records and Valero HR information systems. Transition services for payroll and benefits administration will continue through the last pay period of 2010.

operations until such time as Buyer has met all prerequisites to reactivate the FTZ under new ownership pursuant to 19 C.F.R. Part 146. In the event both parties mutually agree to continue FTZ operations, Seller will assist Buyer in operating the FTZ to the extent permitted under applicable law and both parties will designate a team of individuals to work on an appropriate transition plan. Buyer will, at all times, be responsible for paying all customs-related duties, taxes, fees, interest, penalties, and any sums whatsoever relating to the services provided hereunder except as otherwise provided herein.

As noted in the SPA, Buyer will be required to obtain its own software to manage the FTZ (or engage a consultant with the requisite software) because Seller uses enterprise software that must be retained to service other foreign-trade zones at Affiliate refineries.

References in this Section to Seller include any applicable Affiliate of Seller who performs these duties at the Seller headquarters offices in San Antonio.
