To Seller's Knowledge, all adjustments have been reflected that are necessary for a fair presentation of the carve-out financial statements for the Business for their respective dates. The allocations have been made on a reasonable basis and have been consistently applied for each period presented.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For purposes herein "New Seller Information" shall not include information that is updated in the ordinary course of business during the Interim Period (e.g., updated lists of Employees) and is provided to Buyer prior to the Closing.

(b) For purposes of determining whether Buyer's conditions set forth in Section 8.3 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 the New Seller Information. If Buyer has a right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(c) as a result of the conditions set forth in Section 8.3 not being satisfied but Buyer elects to proceed with the Closing and the Closing does occur, then the New Seller Information shall be deemed to be accepted by Buyer, and Buyer shall be deemed to have waived and not be entitled to make a Claim thereon under this Agreement (including pursuant to Article XI) or otherwise. If, however, Buyer does not have such a right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(c) as a result of the conditions set forth in Section 8.3 being satisfied and the Closing does occur, then the New Seller Information shall not be deemed to be accepted or waived by Buyer, and Buyer shall be entitled to make a Claim thereon under this Agreement (including pursuant to Article XI) or otherwise.

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

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

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

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

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

(i) Because of the intended treatment set forth in Section 7.10(h), each of Seller and Buyer intend for the deemed purchase and sale of the Assets to result in the deemed purchase and sale of the Subsidiary Shares and, therefore, intend for such deemed purchase and sale of the Subsidiary Shares to qualify as a "qualified stock purchase" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.338(h)(10)-1(c). Seller and Buyer shall make a joint election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and under any comparable provision of applicable state,

local, and foreign Law with respect to Buyer's deemed purchase of the Subsidiary Shares (collectively, the 'section 338(h)(10) Elections"). Buyer and Seller shall take all necessary steps and cooperate in good faith, including the exchange of information, to effect and preserve valid and timely Section 338(h)(10) Elections. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, each of Seller and Buyer agrees that (A) it shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates, to report, act and file all Tax Returns in all respects and for all purposes consistent with the Section 338(h)(10) Elections, and (B) it will not, and will not permit its Affiliates to, take any position that is inconsistent with the Section 338(h)(10) Elections.

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

(j) Purchase Price Allocations.

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

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

(iii) Each of the Asset Purchase Allocation Schedule and the Section 338 Allocation Schedule (each, an "Allocation Schedule," and collectively, the "Allocation Schedules") delivered by Buyer shall become final and binding upon Buyer and Seller on the fifteenth (15th) day following the date that such Allocation Schedule was delivered by Buyer to Seller, unless prior to such date Seller notifies Buyer of any reasonable objections to such Allocation Schedule (an "Allocation Schedule Notice of Disagreement"). An Allocation Schedule Notice of Disagreement shall specifically set forth all of Seller's disputed items to the applicable Allocation Schedule, together with Seller's proposed changes thereto, including an explanation in reasonable detail of the basis on which Seller proposes such changes. If Seller has delivered a timely Allocation Schedule Notice of Disagreement with respect to an Allocation Schedule, then Buyer and Seller shall use their good faith efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items to determine the final and binding Allocation Schedule. If all of Seller's disputed items with respect to an Allocation Schedule have not been resolved by Buyer and Seller by the

thirtieth (30th) day following the date that Buyer receives the Allocation Schedule Notice of Disagreement with respect to such Allocation Schedule, then the items that are still disputed shall be submitted to binding arbitration to be determined by the Arbiter. The Arbiter's determination of the disputed issues shall in no event be more favorable to Buyer than reflected on such Allocation Schedule as proposed by Buyer or more favorable to Seller than reflected in the proposed changes to such Allocation Schedule delivered by Seller in the Allocation Schedule Notice of Disagreement. Following the determination by the Arbiter, such Allocation Schedule shall be revised to include the determination of the Arbiter on the disputed issues, and such revised Allocation Schedule shall be final and binding upon Buyer and Seller. The fees and expenses of any such arbitration shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Buyer and fifty percent (50%) by Seller.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 7.11 No Solicitation/Non-Competition.

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

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

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

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

(e) Seller acknowledges that the geographic scope and duration of the covenants contained in this Section 7.11 are the result of arm's-length bargaining and are fair and reasonable in light of (i) the nature and wide geographic scope of the operations of the Business (as conducted as of the Closing Date), (ii) Seller's level of control over, contact with, and association with the goodwill of, the Business (as conducted as of the Closing Date) in all jurisdictions in which it is conducted, (iii) the fact that the Business (as conducted as of the Closing Date) is conducted by the Companies throughout the Restricted Area, and (iv) the consideration that Seller is receiving in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the amount of goodwill for which Buyer is paying. It is the desire and intent of the Parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under Law, whether now or hereafter in effect and therefore, to the extent permitted by Law, the parties waive any provision of Law that would render any provision of this Section 7.11 invalid or unenforceable.

Section 7.12 Third Person Consents Not Obtained Prior To Closing.

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

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

(c) In the event that any Third Person Consent is not obtained prior to the Closing Date related to those certain Leased Real Properties set forth in the electronic folder titled 'specified Leased Real Property Consents" located in the Data Room and the lack of such Third Person Consents results in a termination of the leases related to such Leased Real Properties within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, then Seller agrees to negotiate in good faith with Buyer after the Closing for a refund/reduction in the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the combined discounted value to the Company of the anticipated lost net income associated with the termination of such leases.

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

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

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

(a) Except as provided in this Section 7.15 or the License Agreement, following the Measurement Time, Buyer will not (and will cause the Companies not to) use or otherwise exploit the Tesoro Marks in the operation of the Business. As promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will stop (and will cause the Companies to stop) using the Tesoro Marks in any form in the operation of the Business except as permitted pursuant to the License Agreement, including by removing, permanently obliterating or covering all references to the Tesoro Marks that appear on any Assets, including all signage, storage containers, uniforms and clothing, promotional or advertising literature, stationery, purchase order forms, office forms and labels, packaging, manuals, policy books, reference materials and other such documents (including signs displaying Seller's or its Affiliates" emergency contact telephone numbers or otherwise using or displaying the Tesoro Marks or the phrase "Tesoro" in whole or in part). As promptly as practical after the Closing Date, Buyer shall post Buyer's emergency contact telephone numbers in place of any of Seller's or its Affiliates" emergency contact telephone numbers. Without limiting the foregoing restrictions, until such time as the Tesoro Marks are removed or covered by Buyer or the Companies as provided above, in no event will Buyer or the Companies use or display the Tesoro Marks in any way

other than in the same manner used by the Business immediately prior to the Closing Date and all signs and graphics incorporating any of the Tesoro Marks shall be maintained by Buyer and the Companies in keeping with a first class operation. During any period that the Company is using the Tesoro Marks as provided in this Section 7.15, the Company shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to inform customers, suppliers and contractors that Buyer and the Companies are not part of or Affiliates of Seller and that the Companies are using the Tesoro Marks with permission solely to facilitate the transition of the Business or as permitted pursuant to the License Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, neither Buyer nor the Companies shall have any right to create any new materials to be used in the operation of the Business containing the Tesoro Marks or any right to transfer, assign, license or sublicense any of the Tesoro Marks except as permitted pursuant to the License Agreement. Neither Buyer nor the Companies shall contest the validity of the Tesoro Marks, claim adversely to Seller or its Affiliates any right, title or interest in or to the Tesoro Marks, or the distinctive features of the designs used in connection with the Tesoro Marks, and shall not register, apply to register or aid a third party in registering any of the Tesoro Marks or a confusingly similar trademark or service mark.

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

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

Section 7.17 Retention of and Access to Books and Records.

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

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

Section 7.18 Intellectual Property.

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

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

(c) Seller Process Licenses. Seller shall transfer to the Company or cause the transfer of (A) all licenses of Intellectual Property held by Seller or its Affiliates that are used exclusively in connection with the operation of the Refinery process units or other Assets as currently operated or as operated immediately prior to the Closing, and (B) that portion of any license agreement covering the Refinery or other Assets as well as other facilities or assets owned by Seller or its Affiliates (a "Multi-Site License") that is allocable to the operation of the Refinery process units or other Assets as currently operated or as operated immediately prior to the Closing (the interests in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B)

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

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

Section 7.19 Releases.

(a) Simultaneously with the Closing, Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (other than the Companies), hereby unconditionally and irrevocably releases and forever discharges, effective as of and forever after the Closing Date, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, each of the Companies from any and all debts, Obligations, Claims, Proceedings, judgments or controversies of any kind whatsoever (collectively, "Pre-Transaction Claims") that Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Companies), may possess, if any, against the Companies to the extent arising out of or based upon any agreement or understanding or act or failure to act (INCLUDING ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT THAT CONSTITUTES ORDINARY OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR RECKLESS OR WILLFUL, WANTON MISCONDUCT), misrepresentation, omission, transaction, fact, event or other matter occurring prior to the Closing Date (whether based at law or in equity or otherwise, foreseen or unforeseen, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, accrued or not accrued) (collectively, "Pre-Transaction Matters"), including: (a) claims by Seller with respect to repayment of loans or other indebtedness; (b) any rights, titles and interests in, to or under any agreements, arrangements or understandings to which Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Companies), is a party; and (c) Claims by Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Companies), with respect to dividends, distributions, violations of preemptive rights and Seller's status as a stockholder, option holder or other security holder of the Companies; provided, however, that this Section 7.19(a) shall not apply to any Claim or Obligation pursuant to this Agreement or the Related Agreements or any Obligation of the Companies that is taken into account as a liability of the Companies for purposes of the Final Net Working Capital.

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

Any such reduction, refund or payment shall be made within ten (10) Business Days after such final determination.

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

(b) No Claim may be asserted nor may any Proceeding be commenced against Seller pursuant to this Section 11.2 unless written notice of such Claim or Proceeding is received by Seller describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such Claim or Proceeding, and with respect to Claims or Proceedings based on the breach of any representation or warranty, on or prior to the date such representation or warranty ceases to survive as set forth in Section 11.1; provided, however, that no Claim may be asserted nor may any Proceeding be commenced by Buyer against Seller arising out of or related to a breach of any representation or warranty of which Buyer had Knowledge on or prior to the Closing Date and for which Buyer failed to deliver a Breach Notice in accordance with Section 6.4.

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

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

(b) No Claim may be asserted nor may any Proceeding be commenced against Buyer pursuant to this Section 11.3 unless written notice of such Claim or Proceeding is received by Buyer describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such Claim or Proceeding, and with respect to Claims or Proceedings based on the breach of representation or warranty, on or prior to the date such representation or warranty ceases to survive as set forth in Section 11.1. If a Seller Indemnitee has recovered any Losses pursuant to one subsection of Section 11.3(a), such Seller Indemnitee shall not be entitled to recover the same Losses under another subsection of Section 11.3(a).

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

Section 11.4 Indemnification Procedures; Matters Involving Third Parties.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 11.5 Determination of Losses.

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

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

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

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

Section 11.7 Limitations on Liability/Exclusive Remedies.

(a) BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR ACTUAL FRAUD, INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION AND INTENTIONAL BREACH, THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN ARTICLE VII, ARTICLE X, THIS ARTICLE XI (INCLUDING THE LIABILITY LIMITS AND SURVIVAL PERIODS SET FORTH ABOVE AND SUBJECT TO THE DISCLAIMERS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.7 AND SECTION 6.8) AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL AGREEMENT, ARE INTENDED TO BE, AND SHALL BE, THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES OF THE BUYER INDEMNITEES WITH RESPECT TO ANY ASPECT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

(b) SELLER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR ACTUAL FRAUD, INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION AND INTENTIONAL BREACH, THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN ARTICLE VII, ARTICLE X, THIS ARTICLE XI (INCLUDING THE LIABILITY LIMITS AND SURVIVAL PERIODS SET FORTH ABOVE) AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL AGREEMENT, ARE INTENDED TO BE, AND SHALL BE, THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES OF THE SELLER INDEMNITEES WITH RESPECT TO ANY ASPECT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

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

Section 12.5 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 12.6 No Strict Construction. The Parties acknowledge that each of them has been represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 12.7 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent required to render such provision valid, legal and enforceable and in a manner so as to preserve the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby to the fullest extent permitted by Law. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 12.8 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by any Party (including by operation of Law or otherwise) except with the prior written consent of the other Parties. Any purported assignment of this Agreement in violation of this Section 12.8 shall be null and void.

Section 12.9 Parties in Interest.

Section 12.10 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any Party in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right.

Section 12.11 Disclosure Schedules. Any matter disclosed by Seller in the Disclosure Schedules pursuant to any Section of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed by Seller for purposes of each other Section of this Agreement to which such disclosure is relevant as and to the extent that the relevance of such matter to such other Section is readily apparent on the face of such disclosure. The listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item in the Disclosure Schedules shall be adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein if the nature and relevance of such exception is readily apparent from the listing (or inclusion of a copy) of such document.

Section 12.12 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence in this Agreement. If the date specified in this Agreement for giving any notice or taking any action is not a Business Day (or if the period during which any notice is required to be given or any action taken expires on a date which is not a Business Day), then the date for giving such notice or taking such action (and the expiration date of such period during which notice is required to be given or action taken) shall be the next day which is a Business Day.

Section 12.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Related Agreements (together with the Exhibits, the Disclosure Schedules and the other Schedules hereto and thereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto, and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof (other than the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect).

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

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

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