If, any Transaction Party determines that the expected completion date for Tank Maintenance has or is likely to change by thirty (30) days or more, it shall promptly notify Aron of such determination.

(e)In addition to Aron’s rights and remedies described in Section 12.4, if any Included Tank (i) has had no bulk movements of Feedstock or Products during any period of thirty (30) consecutive days or has otherwise been designated or categorized as no longer being active or in use for at least thirty (30) consecutive days and (ii) holds a de minimis amount of inventory for such period, the Company shall promptly deliver to Aron written notice thereof

4161-8074-0173.234151-0972-6800.5

describing in reasonable detail the matter, and Aron shall, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice, advise the Company whether such Included Tank constituting an Included Title Location or Included Lien Location shall cease to constitute an Included Title Location or Included Lien Location, as applicable, for purposes hereof. If Aron advises the Company by written notice that any such Included Tank is to cease to be an Included Title Location or Included Lien Location, such change in status shall occur on the effective date specified by Aron in such written notice (which shall be on or after the date such notice is effective) delivered in accordance with Article 24. If any Included Tank has ceased to be an Included Title Location or Included Lien Location pursuant to this Section 7.3(e) and thereafter such Included Tank is returned to service or reactivated and Aron determines, in its good faith judgment, that such Included Tank is compliant with Aron’s Policies and Procedures (applied in a non-discriminatory manner), then Aron shall promptly cooperate with the Company to reestablish such Included Tank as an Included Title Location or Included Lien Location in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

7.4Certain Regulatory Matters. If Aron shall determine, in its reasonable judgment, that as a result of (a) the adoption or taking effect of any Applicable Law, (b) any change in Applicable Law or in the administration, interpretation, enforcement or application thereof by any Governmental Authority,

(c) the making or issuance of any request, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any Governmental Authority or (d) any interpretation of or proposal to implement any of the foregoing, in each case, after the Commencement Date (each, a “Regulatory Event”), Aron or any of its Affiliates is or would (i) not be permitted to hold, own, store, transport, purchase, finance or hedge all or certain types of Feedstock and/or Products subject to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (collectively, “Specified Activities”), (ii) be unable to perform in any material respect its obligations under this Agreement and/or the other Transaction Documents, (iii) be required to hold additional capital, or be assessed any additional capital or other charges, on the basis of holding, storing, transporting, buying, financing, selling, or owing any commodities from time to time, including without limitation, any of the commodities subject to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or (iv) were it to continue to engage in Specified Activities or perform such obligations, and taking into account the manner in which it conducts its business in its discretion generally (and taking into account other commodities and the volumes thereof held by Aron or any of its Affiliates from time to time), be or likely to be subject to additional or increased burdens or costs (including any requirements to hold additional capital, or to be assessed any additional capital or other charges), then it shall notify the Company in writing of such determination (“Regulatory Event Notice”). Following the sending of a Regulatory Event Notice, Aron shall promptly consult with the Company in good faith to determine and assess what actions or steps, if any, either the Company or Aron or the Parties could implement to alleviate, minimize and/or mitigate the effect of any such Regulatory Event. If the Parties identify actions or steps that, in Aron’s reasonable judgment, can be implemented without resulting in Aron incurring any additional costs, expenses or burdens hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents while preserving the economic terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including economic benefits, risk allocation, costs and Liabilities), then the Parties shall, in good faith, endeavor to implement such actions and steps. If the Parties are unable to identify such actions or steps or are unable to implement any actions and steps that have been so identified within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the Regulatory Event Notice (unless the Parties mutually agree to extend such period), and for so long as such Regulatory Event (or the effects thereof) continues, then Aron may, by written notice to the Company, elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Article 17 on the termination date that Aron specifies in such notice, which termination date shall constitute a “Termination Date” for purposes of Article 17; provided that, to the extent not inconsistent with or in violation of such Regulatory Event and subject to the expected or actual effective date of such Regulatory Event, the termination date specified in such notice shall occur at least ninety

(90) days after the date such notice is given (but no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the

4161-8074-0173.234151-0972-6800.5

date such notice is given, unless Aron, in its sole good faith judgment, elects to accelerate such termination date to mitigate or eliminate any risk to Aron that it may become subject to such Regulatory Event or any additional material costs, burdens or restrictions as a result thereof). Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, if the Termination Date occurs as a result of any Regulatory Event, no S&O Make-Whole Amount shall arise or be or become due and payable hereunder or under any other Transaction Document.

7.5SDS. From time to time as a result of any changes to an existing material safety data sheet (an “SDS”) or any new feedstock or product becoming a Feedstock or Product, as applicable, pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall provide the relevant SDS or relevant new or updated SDS to Aron, promptly after such change or upon the admission of a new Feedstock or Product pursuant to the terms hereof, as applicable.

7.6Material Feedstock Grade Changes. If either the Company or Aron concludes in its reasonable judgment that the specifications or the mix of the constituents of any Feedstock procured, or projected to be procured, differ materially from those that have generally been procured by the Refinery or those that the Transaction Parties may procure from time to time acting as a prudent refinery operator, then the Company and Aron will endeavor in good faith to mutually agree on (i) acceptable price indices for such Feedstock, and (ii) a settlement payment from one Party to the other sufficient to compensate the relevant Party for the relative costs and benefits to each of the price differences between the prior price indices and the amended price indices.

7.7Material Product Grade Changes. If either the Company or Aron concludes in its reasonable judgment that the specifications or the mix of the constituents of a Product Group produced, or projected to be produced, differ materially from those that have generally been produced by the Refinery or those that the Transaction Parties may produce from time to time acting as a prudent refinery operator, then the Company and Aron will endeavor in good faith to mutually agree on (i) acceptable price indices for such Product, and (ii) a settlement payment from one Party to the other sufficient to compensate the relevant Party for the relative costs and benefits to each of the price differences between the prior price indices and the amended price indices.

PAYMENT PROVISIONS

8.1

Interim Payments.

(a)For each day, Aron will calculate an Interim Payment, in the manner illustrated on Schedule C and in accordance with Schedule G using Best Available Inventory Data, as adjusted by any Inspector’s Report or any Updated Inspector’s Report, as applicable, pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Inventory Sales Agreement, and which, for the date on which (i) an Advance or prepayment of the Initial Lien Amount is required to be made in accordance with Section 5.2(c) of the Financing Agreement, shall include such Advance or prepayment, (ii) if applicable, any Provisional Group Price Adjustment Interim Amount is required to be included in such Interim Payment in accordance with Section 5.4(c), shall include such Provisional Group Price Adjustment Interim Amount, and (iii) any provisional calculations that are to be included in such Interim Payment in accordance with Section 8.1(h); provided, that if inventory data have not been reported on any day within a two (2) Business Day period, Aron will use the inventory data for the day occurring during the thirty (30) day period preceding such calendar day in the manner illustrated on Schedule G that results in the highest daily amount that would be payable to Aron for the Estimated Daily Net Title Feedstock Sales and the highest daily amount that would be

4161-8074-0173.234151-0972-6800.5

payable to Aron for the Estimated Daily Net Title Product Sales (as the case may be); provided further, that, if Aron determines that any inventory data Aron has used in such determination was materially inaccurate, then Aron shall adjust future Interim Payments to take account of any corrected inventory data.

If the Interim Payment is a negative amount, the absolute value will represent an amount payable to the Company and if this is a positive amount, it will represent an amount payable to Aron.

(b)With respect to the Estimated Daily Net Title Feedstock Sales, Estimated Daily Net Liened Feedstock, Estimated Daily Net Title Product Sales and Estimated Daily Net Liened Product:

(i)the inventory data to be used in determining each shall include the Best Available Inventory Data; and

(ii)the Company shall, at the end of each day, provide to Aron the applicable inventory reports in the form set forth on Schedule W-1, showing the quantity of (w) Feedstock held in the Included Feedstock Title Locations, (x) Feedstock that is Included Feedstock Lien Inventory, (y) Products held in the Included Product Title Locations and (z) Products that are Included Product Lien Inventory.

(c)For each day, Aron will calculate an interim adjustment to the Lien Amount (the “Interim Lien Settlement”), in the manner illustrated on Schedule C and in accordance with Schedule G using Best Available Inventory Data; provided that if inventory data have not been reported on any day within a two (2) Business Day period, Aron will use the inventory data for the day occurring during the thirty (30) day period preceding such calendar day in the manner illustrated on Schedule G that results in the highest daily amount that would be payable to Aron for the Estimated Daily Net Liened Feedstock and the highest daily amount that would be payable to Aron for the Estimated Daily Net Liened Product (as the case may be); provided further that, if Aron determines that any inventory data Aron has used in such determination was materially inaccurate, then Aron shall adjust future Interim Payments to take account of any corrected inventory data.

(d)

[Reserved].

(e)For each day, Aron shall determine the Estimated Daily Net Title Feedstock Sales, Estimated Daily Net Liened Feedstock, Estimated Daily Net Title Product Sales and Estimated Daily Net Liened Product, in a commercially reasonable manner based on the inventory data and otherwise in the manner contemplated by this Section 8.1, Schedule C and Schedule G, and to the extent it deems appropriate taking into account such other data as may be relevant to the determination of such estimates.

(f)Aron shall advise the Company of the amount of an Interim Payment via invoice issued in accordance with Schedule G. The party obligated to make such Interim Payment shall cause such payment to be made on the applicable payment date indicated on Schedule G.

(g)For any Business Day, the Interim Payment to be determined and advised by Aron shall be the Interim Payment for that day; provided that if such Business Day is followed by one or more non-Business Days, then Aron shall determine and advise to the Company the Interim Payment for that Business Day as well as the Interim Payment for each of such

4161-8074-0173.234151-0972-6800.5

subsequent non-Business Days in the manner illustrated on Schedule G and all such Interim Payments shall be due on the same day.

(h)Aron may (but shall not be obligated to) include a provisional calculation of any amounts due hereunder or the other Transaction Documents as of the date of any Interim Payment or as part of the Monthly True-Up Amount for the month of such Interim Payment; provided that (x) if any calculated adjustment is positive, it will represent an amount payable to Aron and (y) if any calculated adjustment is negative, it will represent an amount payable to the Company. All provisionally charged adjustments will be credited in the applicable Monthly True-Up Amount. All applicable provisional amounts included in any Interim Payment will be taken into account (but without duplication) for purposes of calculating the applicable Monthly True-Up Amount (or estimated Monthly True-Up Amount) or any Unpaid Amounts.

8.2

Monthly True-Up Amount.

(a)For each month, Aron will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Company, within five (5) Business Days following receipt of the Ending Feedstock Title Inventory, the Ending Feedstock Lien Inventory, the Ending Product Title Inventory, the Ending Product Lien Inventory, and any other supporting documentation, as applicable, pursuant to Section 7.1, a calculation and appropriate documentation to support such calculation for such month for a monthly true-up payment (the “Monthly True-Up Amount”); provided that, Aron may (but shall not be obligated to), in respect of any Monthly True-Up Amount, provide to the Company an estimate of such Monthly True-Up Amount associated with the applicable true-up month at any time on or after the first calendar day of such month, which shall be calculated by Aron in good faith based on Aron’s best estimates and in accordance with Schedule C and each such estimated Monthly True-Up Amount shall be payable in accordance with this Section 8.2(a). The Monthly True-Up Amount for any month shall be equal to the following determined in accordance with Schedule C:

(i)the Monthly Cash Settlement (as defined in Schedule C) plus any costs or expenses incurred by Aron in connection with any of the Base Agreements or Bailee’s Letters in respect of Included Lien Locations (including without limitation any costs or expenses incurred in connection with exercising Aron’s rights under any Bailee’s Letters and any pipeline compensation or reimbursement payments that are not timely paid by the pipeline to Aron) for such month; plus

(ii)

any other Unpaid Amounts due from any Transaction Party to Aron;

minus

(iii)any other Unpaid Amount then due from Aron to any Transaction Party; plus or minus, as applicable,

(iv)if applicable, any estimated Monthly True-Up Amount previously paid by any Party in respect of such Monthly True-Up Amount pursuant to the proviso in the first sentence of this Section 8.2(a).

If the Monthly True-Up Amount (or estimated Monthly True-Up Amount) is a negative number, then the absolute value of such number shall be the amount due from Aron to the Company, and if the Monthly True-Up Amount (or any estimated Monthly True-Up Amount) is a positive number, such amount shall be due from the Company to Aron. The Company shall pay (a) any estimated Monthly True-Up Amount due to Aron two (2) Business Days after receipt of written notice thereof and (b) any

4161-8074-0173.234151-0972-6800.5

Monthly True-Up Amount due to Aron two (2) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the monthly invoice for any Delivery Month and all related documentation supporting the invoice. Aron shall pay (x) any estimated Monthly True-Up Amount due to the Company two (2) Business Days after providing written notice thereof to the Company and (y) any Monthly True-Up Amount due to the Company two (2) Business Days after making its definitive determination of such amount by issuing the monthly true-up invoice to the Company.

(b)For purposes of determining the amounts due under Section 8.2(a), the definitions and formulas set forth in Schedule C shall apply. In addition, the Fee Letter contains various definitions and formulas that shall be applied for purposes of determining certain of the amounts referred to in Schedule C.

(c)In the event that any Party determines, in its reasonable discretion, that Feedstock purchases and sales pursuant to the Supply and Offtake Agreement and Advances under the Financing Agreement are resulting in the Monthly Cash Settlement due from the Transaction Parties to Aron that could be materially decreased via Interim Payments as a result of amendments to Schedule C related to Feedstock, the Parties shall work together in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner to amend Schedule C to reflect such applicable change pursuant to a Specified Schedule Change.

8.3Maximum Inventory Levels. Notwithstanding any transfer of title to Aron to all such Feedstock or Products or any Lien that Aron may have over Included Lien Inventory, Aron shall not be obligated at any time to pay for or make any Advance on account of any quantity of Feedstock or Product under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 or otherwise hereunder to the extent such payment or Advance would relate to an aggregate quantity of Feedstock or such Products in the Included Locations in excess of the then applicable Maximum Inventory Level as set forth on Schedule D or as may have been temporarily adjusted under Section 6.5 of the Supply and Offtake Agreement; it being understood and agreed that a volume of any type of Feedstock or Products in excess of the applicable Maximum Inventory Level therefor may be stored in the applicable Included Locations from time to time and Aron shall not be required to purchase, pay for or finance any such excess amount, in each case, in accordance with the Transaction Documents.

8.4

Invoices.

(a)Invoices shall be prepared and submitted in accordance with the terms of Schedule G.

(b)If the Company in good faith disputes the amount of any invoice issued by Aron relating to any amount payable hereunder (including Interim Payments, Monthly True-Up Amounts or Ancillary Costs), it nonetheless shall pay Aron the full amount of such invoice by the due date and inform Aron in writing of the portion of the invoice with which it disagrees and why; provided that, to the extent that the Company promptly informs Aron of a calculation error that is obvious on its face, the Company shall pay Aron the undisputed amounts and may retain such disputed amount pending resolution of such dispute; provided further that the Parties shall work together in a commercially reasonable manner and in good faith to resolve any such dispute prior to the time such disputed amount becomes due and payable, if possible, and otherwise as expeditiously as practicable, and in connection therewith, Aron shall provide to the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company, in sufficient detail (including Excel spreadsheets or other applicable items which show the applicable figures and formulas used to calculate such payment amounts) to enable the Company to verify the amount to be included in such disputed invoice. If the Parties agree that the Company does not owe some or all of the

4161-8074-0173.234151-0972-6800.5

disputed amount or as may be determined by a court pursuant to Article 22, Aron shall return such amount to the Company, together with interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate from the date such amount was paid, within two (2) Business Days from, as appropriate, the date of their agreement or the date of the final, non-appealable decision of such court. Following resolution of any such disputed amount, Aron will issue a corrected invoice and any residual payment that would be required thereby will be made by the appropriate Party within two (2) Business Days.

8.5

[Reserved].

8.6Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon notice from Aron to the Company, interest shall accrue on any unpaid amounts (including any accelerated amounts) owed by the Transaction Parties under the Transaction Documents at the Default Interest Rate from the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default until such amount is actually received by Aron, and such interest shall be payable on demand, in each case, whether or not such interest is allowed or allowable in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 8.6 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Aron hereunder.

8.7Payment in Full in Same Day Funds. All payments to be made under the Transaction Documents shall be made by wire transfer of same day funds in U.S. Dollars to, in the case of payments to the Transaction Parties, the bank account listed in Schedule Z, or, in the case of payments to Aron, such bank account at such bank as Aron shall designate in writing to the payor from time to time. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Inventory Sales Agreement, the Supply and Offtake Agreement and the Financing Agreement or any other Transaction Document, all payments shall be made in full without discount, offset, withholding, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever for any claims which a Party may now have or hereafter acquire against the other Party, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or otherwise.

8.8Inability to Determine SOFR Rate. In the event that any fee, charge or other payment or amount under the Transaction Documents is determined by reference to the SOFR Rate and Aron determines that the provisions of Section 7.11(a) of the Financing Agreement have been implicated, the Parties shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate to replace such “SOFR Rate” for all such purposes pursuant to the terms of Section 7.11(a) of the Financing Agreement.

8.9Incremental Reduction. At any time the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (Indenture) falls below 1.50:1.00 for two consecutive fiscal quarters, Aron may, in its sole discretion, elect to reduce the Daily Value for all Product Groups by implementing the Incremental Fixed Holdback in accordance with Schedule B (the “Incremental Reduction”) with immediate effect for the immediately subsequent invoice delivered pursuant to Section 8.4 until the end of the month in which the delivery of quarterly financial statements for two subsequent consecutive fiscal quarters pursuant to Section 15.3(a)(ii) shows a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (Indenture) for each such fiscal quarter greater than or equal to 1:50:1:00.

10.3Subject to the Storage Facilities Agreement, the applicable Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements, any Bailee’s Letter, any Carrier Notices, any Freight Forwarder Agreement, and any Customs Broker Agreement, Aron will have the right (or, with respect to any Included Locations that are not the Refinery and Terminal Assets and any Eligible In-Transit Inventory, the Transaction Parties shall ensure that Aron will have the right) to inspect the Included Locations and any Eligible In-Transit Inventory in accordance with Accepted Industry Practice. In the event that recalibration of meters, gauges or other measurement equipment is requested by Aron using commercially reasonable judgment as a result of the activity contemplated in this Article 10, the Transaction Parties shall make all necessary recalibrations in accordance with the specifications set forth in the Volume Determination Procedures within five (5) days and shall promptly communicate such changes to Aron. The cost of any such recalibration is to be borne solely by the Transaction Parties.

10.4Standards of Measurement. All quantity and volume determinations herein, except for the Wax Product Group, will be corrected to sixty (60) degrees Fahrenheit based on a U.S. gallon of two hundred thirty-one (231) cubic inches and forty-two (42) gallons to the Barrel, in accordance with the latest supplement or amendment to ASTM-IP petroleum measurement tables (Table 5A of ASTM-IP for Feedstock and Table 5B of ASTM-IP for Products).

12.1The Transaction Parties shall be responsible for all operations and maintenance of Included Title Locations which are, directly or indirectly, owned by the Transaction Parties including the Stonebriar Refinery Assets. The applicable Transaction Party shall promptly notify Aron in writing of the date for which any material inspection, material maintenance, restart or turnaround at the Refinery or any Refinery Facility has been scheduled, or any revision to previously scheduled material inspection, material maintenance, restart or turnaround, which may impair receipts of Feedstock at the Refinery or the Included Title Locations, the processing of Feedstock in the Refinery or the delivery of Products to Aron or by Aron to any Transaction Party or any third parties; provided that, (i) promptly after the Company completes its annual business plan with respect to any year, it shall notify Aron of any such material inspection, material maintenance, restart or turnaround contemplated with respect to such year and (ii) the Company shall give Aron at least two (2) months’ prior written notice of any such scheduled material inspection, material maintenance, restart or turnaround.

12.3In the event of a scheduled shutdown of the Refinery, the Transaction Parties shall provide written notice to Aron describing the plan and the scope of work to be conducted during such scheduled shutdown, including any material impacts to the processing of Feedstock or delivery of Products during such scheduled shutdown, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep Aron apprised of the progress of the work and any deviations from the previously disclosed plan of work or anticipated processing of Feedstocks and delivery of Products.

12.4

Treatment of Facilities.

(a)Subject to Section 12.4(b) below, if at any time Aron determines that all or any portion of the facilities constituting an Included Lien Location or an Included Title Location (such facilities, in each case, “Identified Facilities”) fails to satisfy Aron’s then applicable policies and procedures relating to the prudent maintenance and operation of storage tanks, pipeline facilities, vessels and other infrastructure used to store or transport Feedstock and/or refined products, as applicable (“Aron’s Policies and Procedures”), and without limiting any other rights and remedies available to Aron hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, Aron may provide the Company notice of such failure so long as such failure is continuing and, if Aron provides such notice, the following provisions shall be applicable: (i) in the case of any Identified Facilities that are subject to the Storage Facilities Agreement, upon such date as Aron shall specify in such notice, such Identified Facilities shall cease to constitute an Included Lien Location (or a part of an Included Lien Location) or an Included Title Location (or part of an Included Title Location), as applicable, for purposes hereof and any payment to Aron in respect of any Feedstock or Products held in such Identified Facilities shall become due in accordance with the provisions of Article 10 hereof; (ii) in the case of any Identified Facilities that are subject to a Required Storage and Transportation Arrangement, the Parties shall endeavor as promptly as reasonably practicable to execute such rights, provide such notices, negotiate such reassignments or terminations and/or take such further actions as Aron deems necessary or appropriate to terminate Aron’s status as the party entitled to use and/or hold Feedstock or Products at such Identified Facilities and, concurrently with effecting the termination of such status, such Identified Facilities shall cease to constitute an Included Lien Location (or part of an Included Lien Location) or an Included Title Location (or part of an Included Title Location), as

4161-8074-0173.234151-0972-6800.5

applicable, for purposes hereof and any payment to Aron in respect of any Feedstock or Products held in such Identified Facilities shall become due in accordance with the provisions of Article 10 hereof; and (iii) to the extent such Identified Facilities were Included Title Locations, Aron may in its sole discretion, designate such Identified Facilities as Included Lien Locations.

(b)Aron’s rights under Section 12.4(a) above are subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

(i)Aron shall apply Aron’s Policies and Procedures with respect to the Included Locations in a non-discriminatory manner as compared with other similar storage tanks and pipeline facilities utilized by Aron in a similar manner.

(ii)If any Identified Facilities cease to be Included Locations pursuant to Section 12.4(a) above, and thereafter Aron determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment, that such Identified Facilities have become compliant with Aron’s Policies and Procedures, then Aron shall promptly cooperate with the Company to reestablish such Identified Facilities as Included Locations hereunder.

(iii)If the failure of any Identified Facilities to satisfy Aron’s Policies and Procedures is solely as a result of Aron’s Policies and Procedures exceeding the standards or requirements imposed under Applicable Law or Accepted Industry Practice, then (1) Aron shall not require the removal of such Identified Facilities as Included Title Locations until the 60th day after giving the Company written notice of such failure, unless in Aron’s reasonable judgment such failure presents an imminent risk relating to Aron’s rights and interests in Feedstock or Products located at such Identified Facility, in which case Aron may require that such Identified Facility immediately cease to constitute an Included Title Location and the terms of Section 12.4(a) shall immediately become applicable, (2) during such sixty (60) day period, Aron shall consult with the Company in good faith to determine whether, based on further information provided by the Company, additional actions or procedures can be taken or implemented that would cause such Identified Facilities to comply with Aron’s Policies and Procedures, and (3) if it is determined that such Identified Facilities do comply with Aron’s Policies and Procedures or, as a result of such additional actions or procedures, such Identified Facilities become so compliant within such sixty (60) day period, then such Identified Facilities shall remain Included Title Locations.

(iv)If within the sixty (60) day period referred to in clause (iii)(2) above, the Company has identified and diligently commenced the implementation of additional actions or procedures that are intended to result in such Identified Facilities becoming compliant with Aron’s Policies and Procedures, but such implementation cannot, despite the use of commercially reasonable efforts, be completed within such sixty (60) day period, then for so long as the Company continues to diligently pursue the implementation of such additional actions and procedures, such sixty (60) day period shall be extended up to an additional sixty (60) days (or such longer period as the Parties may mutually agree (including via email)) to allow for such implementation to be completed.

TAXES

4161-8074-0173.234151-0972-6800.5

13.1The Transaction Parties shall, jointly and severally, pay and indemnify on After-Tax Basis and hold Aron harmless against, the amount of all Non-Income Taxes, paid, owing, asserted against, or incurred by Aron directly or indirectly with respect to the Feedstock procured and sold to a Transaction Party hereunder, and the Products purchased and resold to a Transaction Party hereunder, and other transactions contemplated hereunder to the greatest extent permitted by Applicable Law; in the event that the applicable Transaction Party is not permitted to pay such Taxes, the amount due hereunder shall be adjusted by Aron such that the Transaction Parties shall bear the economic burden of the Non-Income Taxes. Each Transaction Party shall pay when due such Non-Income Taxes unless there is an applicable exemption from such Non-Income Tax, with written confirmation of such Non-Income Tax exemption to be contemporaneously provided to Aron. To the extent Aron is required by law to collect such Non-Income Taxes, one hundred percent (100%) of such Non-Income Taxes shall be added to invoices as separately stated charges and paid in full by the Transaction Parties in accordance with this Agreement, unless the applicable Transaction Party is exempt from such Non-Income Taxes and furnishes Aron with a certificate of exemption; provided, however, that (i) the failure of Aron to separately state or collect Non-Income Taxes from any Transaction Party shall not alter the liability of the Transaction Parties for Non-Income Taxes and (ii) Aron shall only be liable for Non-Income Taxes if and to the extent that such Non-Income Taxes have been separately stated and collected from a Transaction Party. Any refund or credit with respect to any Non-Income Taxes paid or indemnified by the Transaction Parties hereunder shall belong to the applicable Transaction Party. Aron shall be responsible for all Taxes imposed on Aron’s net or gross (or any derivative thereof) income, and each Transaction Party shall be responsible for all taxes imposed on its net or gross (or any derivative thereof) income.

13.2If any Transaction Party disagrees with Aron’s determination that any Non-Income Tax is due with respect to transactions under this Agreement, such Transaction Party shall have the right to seek an administrative determination in its own name from the applicable taxing authority, or, alternatively, such Transaction Party shall have the right to contest any asserted claim for such Non-Income Taxes in its own name, subject to its agreeing to indemnify Aron for any reasonable costs of Aron incurred the entire amount of such contested Non-Income Tax should such Non-Income Tax be deemed applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence is intended to apply only in cases where the applicable Non-Income Tax is due from, or has been assessed against, the Transaction Party. Aron agrees to reasonably cooperate with such Transaction Party, in the event such Transaction Party determines to contest any such Taxes.

15.7

Transaction Guaranty.

(a)

Transaction Guaranty.

(i)Each of the Transaction Parties hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to Aron and its respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the other Transaction Parties when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations (the “Transaction Guaranty”).

(ii)Anything herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Transaction Party hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Transaction Party under Applicable Laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 15.7(b)).

(iii)Each Transaction Party agrees that the Secured Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Transaction Party hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 15.7 or affecting the rights and remedies of Aron hereunder.

(iv)The guarantee contained in this Section 15.7 shall remain in full force and effect until the Discharge of Secured Obligations.

(v)No payment made by any of the Transaction Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by Aron from any of the Transaction Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Secured Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Transaction Party hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Transaction Party in respect of the Secured Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Transaction Party in respect of the Secured Obligations), remain liable for the Secured Obligations up to the maximum liability of such guarantor hereunder until the Discharge of Secured Obligations.

(vi)Each Transaction Party agrees that its guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment and performance when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that resort must first be had to any of the other Transaction Parties or any security held for payment of the Secured Obligations.

(b)Right of Contribution. Each Transaction Party hereby agrees that to the extent that a Transaction Party shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Transaction Party shall, subject to and only upon the Discharge of Secured Obligations, be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Transaction Party hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. The provisions of this Section 15.7(b) shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Transaction Party to Aron, and each Transaction Party shall remain liable to Aron for the full amount guaranteed by such Transaction Party hereunder.

If any amount shall be paid to any Transaction Party on account of contribution or subrogation rights at any time when all of the Secured Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Transaction Party in trust for Aron, segregated from other funds of such Transaction Party, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Transaction Party, be turned over to Aron in the exact form received by such Transaction Party (duly indorsed by such Transaction Party to Aron, if required), to be applied against the Secured Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Aron may determine.

(d)Amendments, etc. with respect to the Secured Obligations. Each Transaction Party shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Transaction Party and without notice to or further assent by any Transaction Party, any demand for payment of any of the Secured Obligations made by Aron may be rescinded by Aron and any of the Secured Obligations continued, and the Secured Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by Aron, and this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as Aron may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by Aron for the payment of the Secured Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Aron shall not have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Secured Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 15.7 or any property subject thereto.

(e)Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Transaction Party waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Secured Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by Aron upon the guarantee contained in this Section 15.7 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 15.7; the Secured Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 15.7; and all dealings between or among the Transaction Parties, on the one hand, and Aron, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 15.7. Each Transaction Party waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any of the Transaction Parties with respect to the Secured Obligations. Each Transaction Party understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 15.7 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (i) the validity or enforceability of, or the lack of authority to enter into, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any of the Secured Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by Aron, (ii) any defense based on any change in the time, manner or place of any payment under, or in any other terms of any Transaction Document or any other amendment, renewal, extension acceleration, compromise or waiver or any consent or departure from the terms of the Transaction Documents,

4161-8074-0173.234151-0972-6800.5

(iii)any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any of the Transaction Parties or any other Person against Aron, or (iv) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of such Transaction Party) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the relevant Transaction Party for the Secured Obligations, or of such Transaction Party under the guarantee contained in this Section 15.7, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Transaction Party, Aron may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Transaction Party or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Aron to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any Transaction Party or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any Transaction Party or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Transaction Party of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Aron against any Transaction Party. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement or continuance of any legal proceedings.

(f)Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 15.7 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Aron upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Transaction Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Transaction Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

(g)Payments. Each Transaction Party hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to Aron without set-off or counterclaim in U.S. dollars at the place of payment designated by Aron pursuant to the terms hereof.

16.2

Remedies Upon Event of Default.

(a)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Event of Default with respect to a Transaction Party, on the one hand, or any Aron EoD with respect to Aron, on the other hand (such defaulting Party (which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be all Transaction Parties, collectively, if any Transaction Party is the defaulting Party), the “Defaulting Party”) has occurred and is continuing, Aron (where any Transaction Party is the Defaulting Party) or the Company (where Aron is the Defaulting Party) (such non-defaulting Party or Parties, the “Non-Defaulting Party”) may, without notice, (i) declare all of the Defaulting Party’s obligations under this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Documents to be forthwith due and payable, all without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Defaulting Party, including any Advances under the Financing Agreement then outstanding; provided that, the Non-Defaulting Party may elect to declare all obligations under the Transaction Documents other than the Supply and Offtake Agreement and the Inventory Sales Agreement to be due and payable without the obligations under the Supply and Offtake Agreement and/or the Inventory Sales Agreement being declared due and payable, or vice versa, (ii) terminate the Commitments under the Financing Agreement or any commitments under any other Transaction Document and/or (iii) exercise any rights and remedies provided or available to the Non-Defaulting Party under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or at law or in equity, including all remedies provided under the Uniform Commercial Code; provided that, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 16.1(a)(iv) or an Aron EoD pursuant to Section 16.1(b)(iv), the obligations of the Non-Defaulting Party under the Transaction Documents, except for the Safe Harbor Agreements (unless so determined by the Non-Defaulting Party) shall automatically terminate, and, subject to the terms of the Supply and Offtake Agreement with respect to all Secured Obligations that have arisen thereunder and under the other Safe Harbor Agreements, to the extent the Settlement Amount is owed by the Defaulting Party, such Settlement Amount shall automatically become due and payable upon determination of the Settlement Amount pursuant to Section 16.2(d) below without any notice to the Defaulting Party or any further act of the Non-Defaulting Party.

4161-8074-0173.234151-0972-6800.5

(b)In addition to the rights and remedies described in Section 16.2(a) above, if an Event of Default or Aron EoD has occurred and is continuing, the Non-Defaulting Party shall have the right, immediately and at any time(s) thereafter, to terminate this Agreement (and any other contract or agreement that may be then outstanding among the Parties that relates specifically to this Agreement, including any Transaction Document), including any of its obligations or, in the case of Aron, Commitments, hereunder or thereunder and withhold or suspend any such obligations, including any of its delivery or payment obligations, under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (other than any obligation to calculate or pay the Settlement Amount, the S&O Settlement Amount or the Financing Settlement Amount in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof), and any such date shall be the Early Termination Date for purposes of the Transaction Documents; provided, however, that, (i) such Early Termination Date shall only apply to the Safe Harbor Agreements if the Non-Defaulting Party expressly declares that such Early Termination Date shall apply thereto (ii) in the event that an Event of Default has occurred pursuant to Section 16.1(a)(iv) or Aron EoD pursuant to Section 16.1(b)(iv), subject to clause (i), the date on which such Event of Default or Aron EoD occurs shall be the Early Termination Date for purposes of such Transaction Documents and (iii), in the event Aron is the Non-Defaulting Party, this Agreement and each other Transaction Document shall not be deemed to have terminated in full until Aron shall have disposed of all Feedstock and Products owned or maintained by Aron in connection with the Transaction Documents.

(c)In the event that an Early Termination Date has been declared by the Non-Defaulting Party, then on or as soon as reasonably practicable following the completion of the sale or other liquidation by Aron of all Feedstock and Products within the Included Locations (after the occurrence of an Early Termination Date), the Non-Defaulting Party shall calculate the Settlement Amount, acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, and will provide to the Defaulting Party a statement (i) showing, in reasonable detail, such calculations,

(ii) specifying any Settlement Amount payable, and (iii) giving details of the relevant account to which any amount payable to it is to be paid.

(d)The “Settlement Amount” shall equal, as of any date of determination (without duplication):

(i)in the event that the Non-Defaulting Party has declared an S&O Early Termination Date pursuant to the terms of the Supply and Offtake Agreement, all or any portion of the S&O Settlement Amount that has not previously been paid in accordance with the terms thereof, plus

(ii)in the event that the Non-Defaulting Party has declared an S&O Early Termination Date pursuant to the terms of the Supply and Offtake Agreement and the Transaction Parties are the Defaulting Party, all or any portion of the S&O Make-Whole Amount that has not previously been paid in accordance with the terms thereof, plus

(iii)(x) in the event that the Transaction Parties are the Defaulting Party, the Financing Settlement Amount and (y) in the event that Aron is the Defaulting Party, the product of (A) the Financing Settlement Amount multiplied by (B) negative one (-1.0), plus

(iv)any other Unpaid Amounts due from the Defaulting Party to the Non-Defaulting Party, minus

4161-8074-0173.234151-0972-6800.5

(v)any other Unpaid Amounts due from the Non-Defaulting Party to the Defaulting Party.

(e)The Settlement Amount shall be due one (1) Business Day after the statement contemplated by Section 16.2(c) is provided by the Non-Defaulting Party to the Defaulting Party. If the Settlement Amount is a positive number, it shall be due to the Non-Defaulting Party and if it is a negative number, the absolute value thereof shall be due to the Defaulting Party. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Settlement Amount is payable by the Transaction Parties, such amount shall constitute part of the Secured Obligations.

(f)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and without duplication of the rights and obligations set forth in Article 12 of the Supply and Offtake Agreement and Article 10 of the Financing Agreement, in the event the Secured Obligations under the Transaction Documents are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their maturity date, in each case, in respect of any Event of Default (including, but not limited to, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default arising under Section 16.1(a)(iv), (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), the S&O Make-Whole Amount applicable on the date of such acceleration, termination and determination of the Settlement Amount will also be due and payable and shall constitute part of the Secured Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the Parties as to a reasonable calculation of Aron’s lost profits as a result thereof. The S&O Make-Whole Amount shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by Aron as the result of the early termination of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and each Transaction Party agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The S&O Make-Whole Amount shall also be payable in the event the Secured Obligations that exist under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding, deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means). EACH TRANSACTION PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE S&O MAKE-WHOLE AMOUNT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION, TERMINATION OR

DETERMINATION OF THE SETTLEMENT AMOUNT. Each Transaction Party expressly

agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the S&O Make-Whole Amount is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the S&O Make-Whole Amount shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct among the Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the S&O Make-Whole Amount; and (D) each Transaction Party shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Each Transaction Party expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the S&O Make-Whole Amount to Aron as herein described is a material inducement to Aron to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(g)THE SETTLEMENT AMOUNT IS DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AND THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT SUCH DAMAGES ARE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE AND THAT THE SETTLEMENT AMOUNT IS INTENDED TO BE A REASONABLE APPROXIMATION OF THE AMOUNT OF SUCH DAMAGES AND NOT A PENALTY.

4161-8074-0173.234151-0972-6800.5

(h)Default Interest Rate for Settlement Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Settlement Amount is owing to the Non-Defaulting Party and is not paid when due, such overdue amount shall accrue interest at the Default Interest Rate (if owing to Aron) or Aron Default Interest Rate (if owing to a Transaction Party) until such amount shall have been paid in full to the Non-Defaulting Party.

(i)In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in Section 16.2(a) and (b) and without limiting any other rights or remedies hereunder, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Aron is the Non-Defaulting Party, Aron may, in its discretion, (i) exercise its rights and remedies under Section 10.2(b) of the Financing Agreement, (ii) withdraw from storage any and all of the Feedstock and/or Products then in the Included Title Locations pursuant to Section 14.2 of the Storage Facilities Agreement or any Required Storage and Transportation Arrangement, as applicable, (iii) otherwise arrange for the disposition of any Feedstock and/or Products subject to any outstanding Aron Procurement Contract or Included Purchase Transaction and/or the modification, settlement or termination of such outstanding Aron Procurement Contract or Included Purchase Transaction in such manner as it elects, (iv) exercise any of its rights and remedies under the Lien Documents, including under any Bailee’s Letters, any Carrier Notices, any Freight Forwarder Agreements, or any Customs Broker Agreements, (v) liquidate in a commercially reasonable manner any credit support, margin or collateral, to the extent not already in the form of cash (including applying any other margin or collateral) and (vi) apply and set off any credit support, margin, or collateral or the proceeds thereof against any obligation (including the S&O Make-Whole Amount) owing by the Transaction Parties to Aron. Without limiting any other rights or remedies hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents, if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Aron is the Non-Defaulting Party, then, in addition to all of Aron’s rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder, immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default no Transaction Party shall (nor shall any Transaction Party permit any other Transaction Party to) remove any Feedstock or Products from any Included Lien Location without Aron’s prior written consent. Aron shall be under no obligation to prioritize the order with respect to which it exercises any one or more rights and remedies available hereunder. The Transaction Parties shall in all events remain jointly and severally liable to Aron for any amount payable by the Transaction Parties in respect of any of their obligations remaining unpaid after any such liquidation, application and set off.

(j)In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in Section 16.2(a) and (b) and without limiting any other rights or remedies hereunder, if an Aron EoD has occurred and is continuing and the Transaction Parties are the Non-Defaulting Party, the Transaction Parties may, in their discretion, otherwise arrange for the settlement or termination of the Parties’ outstanding commitments hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, the sale in a commercially reasonable manner of Feedstock and/or Product for Aron’s account, and the replacement of the supply and offtake arrangement and/or the financing arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents with such alternative arrangements as it may procure.

(k)No delay or failure on the part of the Non-Defaulting Party in exercising any right or remedy to which it may be entitled on account of any Event of Default or Aron EoD shall constitute an abandonment of any such right, and the Non-Defaulting Party shall be entitled to exercise such right or remedy at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default or Aron EoD, as applicable.

4161-8074-0173.234151-0972-6800.5

(l)The Defaulting Party shall indemnify and hold the Non-Defaulting Party harmless from all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred in the exercise of any remedies hereunder.

(m)Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default or Aron EoD, as applicable, the Non-Defaulting Party is hereby authorized by the Defaulting Party any time or from time to time, without notice to the Defaulting Party, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set-off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts), and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Non-Defaulting Party to or for the credit or the account of the Defaulting Party against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Defaulting Party to the Non-Defaulting Party under the Security Agreement and under any other Transaction Documents (including the S&O Make-Whole Amount), including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto or thereto, irrespective of whether or not

(i) Aron shall have made any demand hereunder or (ii) the purchase price of Feedstock or Products, or the principal of or the interest or fees on the obligations or any other amounts due under the Transaction Documents shall have become due and payable and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured.

(n)The Parties acknowledge that, as provided herein and in the other Transaction Documents, Feedstock and Products owned by Aron may be subject to Permitted S&O Liens. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Transaction Party covenants and agrees that (i) such Transaction Party in its capacity as owner and/or operator of any Storage Facilities owned and/or operated by it shall not have or assert any Permitted S&O Lien with respect to any Feedstock or Products owned by Aron (excluding, however, any Permitted S&O Lien granted to such Transaction Party by Aron pursuant to the Storage Facilities Agreement), (ii) the permissibility or existence of any Permitted S&O Liens does not, and shall not be deemed to, in any way limit such Transaction Party’s obligations hereunder and the other Transaction Documents to pay amounts that are or could be the basis for any third parties (whether or not a Governmental Authority) asserting or enforcing, or attempting to assert or enforce, any Permitted S&O Lien, including any obligations of such Transaction Party with respect to Ancillary Costs or Taxes and

(iii) the permissibility or existence of any Permitted S&O Liens does not, and shall not be deemed to, limit any rights and remedies of Aron hereunder or under other Transaction Documents (subject, however, to the right of the Transaction Parties to exercise any available rights, remedies, or defenses hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents).

(o)In the event that an Early Termination Date has been established in accordance with Section 16.2(b) of this Agreement and if, and only if, such Early Termination Date applies to the obligations under the Financing Agreement (i) the Commitments of Aron shall immediately terminate and (ii) the Financing Settlement Amount shall be included in the calculation of the Settlement Amount pursuant to Section 16.2(d) and payable in connection therewith pursuant to Section 16.2(f).

ARTICLE 17

SETTLEMENT AT TERMINATION

17.1Upon the occurrence of the Expiration Date (the “Termination Date”; provided that, if such date is not a Business Day, any payments due on such date shall be made on the immediately

4161-8074-0173.234151-0972-6800.5

preceding day that is also a Business Day), the Parties covenant and agree to proceed as provided in this Article 17; provided that (x) this Agreement shall continue in effect following the Termination Date until all obligations are finally settled as contemplated by this Article 17 and (y) the provisions of this Article 17 shall in no way limit the rights and remedies which the Non-Defaulting Party may have as a result of an Event of Default or Aron EoD, whether pursuant to Article 16 above or otherwise:

(a)If any Aron Procurement Contract or Included Purchase Transaction does not either (i) by its terms automatically become assigned to a Transaction Party on and as of the Termination Date in a manner which releases Aron from all obligations thereunder for all periods following the Termination Date or (ii) by its terms, expire or terminate on and as of the Termination Date, then the Parties shall promptly negotiate and enter into, with each of the then existing Third Party Suppliers, assignments, assumptions and/or such other documentation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parties, pursuant to which, as of the Termination Date, (w) such Aron Procurement Contract or Included Purchase Transaction, as applicable, shall be assigned to a Transaction Party or shall be terminated, (x) all rights and obligations of Aron under each of the then outstanding Aron Procurement Contracts or Included Purchase Transactions shall be assigned to a Transaction Party, (y) a Transaction Party shall assume all of such obligations to be paid or performed following such termination, and (z) Aron shall be released by such Third Party Suppliers and the applicable Transaction Parties from any further obligations thereunder. In connection with the assignment or reassignment of any Aron Procurement Contract or Included Purchase Transaction, in each case, the Parties shall endeavor, in a commercially reasonable manner, to facilitate the transitioning of the supply and payment arrangements, including any change in payment terms, under the relevant Aron Procurement Contracts, Refinery Procurement Contracts or any other arrangement between Aron and a Third Party Supplier or third party purchaser under any transaction pursuant to the Marketing and Sales Agreement so as to prevent any material disruption in the supply of Feedstock or Products thereunder.

(b)If, pursuant to the Marketing and Sales Agreement, any sales commitments are outstanding which, by their terms, extend beyond the Termination Date, then the Parties shall promptly negotiate and enter into, with each of the purchasers thereunder, assignments, assumptions and/or such other documentation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parties, pursuant to which, as of the Termination Date, (i) such sales commitment shall be assigned (or reassigned) to a Transaction Party or shall be terminated, (ii) all rights and obligations of Aron with respect to each then outstanding sales commitment shall be assigned to a Transaction Party, (iii) a Transaction Party shall assume all of such obligations to be paid or performed following such termination, and (iv) Aron shall be released by the purchasers thereunder and the applicable Transaction Parties from any further obligations with respect to such sales commitments. In connection with the assignment or reassignment of any such contract, the Parties shall endeavor, in a commercially reasonable manner, to facilitate the transitioning of the Product marketing and sales arrangements so as to prevent any material disruption in the distribution of Products from the Refinery.

(c)In the event that Aron has become a party to any other third party service contract in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any pipeline, terminaling, storage and shipping arrangement including but not limited to the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements (an “Ancillary Contract”) and such Ancillary Contract does not by its terms expire or terminate on and as of the Termination Date, then the Parties shall promptly negotiate and enter into with each service provider thereunder such instruments or other documentation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parties, pursuant to which as of the Termination Date (i) such Ancillary Contract shall be assigned to a

4161-8074-0173.234151-0972-6800.5

Transaction Party or shall be terminated, (ii) all rights and obligations of Aron with respect to each then outstanding Ancillary Contract shall be assigned to a Transaction Party, (iii) a Transaction Party shall assume all of such obligations to be paid or performed following such termination, and (iv) Aron shall be released by the third party service providers thereunder and the applicable Transaction Parties from any further obligations with respect to such Ancillary Contract.

(d)The volume of Feedstock and Products at the Included Title Locations shall be purchased and transferred as contemplated in the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement. The Feedstock volumes measured by the Transaction Parties or, at Aron’s election, by Aron’s Inspector, at the Termination Date and, if so elected by Aron, recorded in Aron’s Inspector’s final inventory report shall be the “Termination Date Feedstock Volumes” for the purposes of this Agreement and the Product volumes measured by the Transaction Parties or, at Aron’s election, by Aron’s Inspector at the Termination Date and recorded in Aron’s Inspector’s final inventory report shall be the “Termination Date Product Volumes” for purposes of this Agreement, and such Termination Date Feedstock Volumes and Termination Date Product Volumes shall collectively be referred to as the “Termination Date Volumes”, in each case, as measured in accordance with the Step-Out Inventory Sales Agreement.

(e)Aron shall promptly reconcile and determine the Termination Amount pursuant to Section 17.2. The Parties shall promptly exchange all information necessary to determine the estimates and final calculations contemplated by Section 17.2.

(f)From and after the Termination Date or such earlier date as the Parties may determine in connection with the transitioning of supply arrangements for Feedstock or Products to the Company or its designee, Aron shall have no further obligation to purchase or advance on account of and shall not purchase or pay for or advance any funds on account of Feedstock or Products, or incur any such purchase or advance obligations (including in respect of any Lien Amounts), except as may be required for Aron to fulfill its obligations hereunder until the Termination Date or during any obligatory notice period pursuant to any Aron Procurement Contract or Included Purchase Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Delivery Date shall occur later than the calendar day immediately preceding the Termination Date.

17.2

Termination Amount.

(a)

The “Termination Amount” shall equal (without duplication):

(i)any unwind costs related to Agreed Roll Differentials as determined by Aron in a commercially reasonably manner based on customary market practice for similarly situated counterparties and products and taking into account prevailing market conditions at the time; plus

(ii)

any Unpaid Amounts owed to Aron, minus

(iii)

any Unpaid Amounts owed to the Transaction Parties, plus

(iv)all Ancillary Costs incurred by Aron in connection with the period from the Commencement Date through the Termination Date that have not yet been paid or reimbursed by the Transaction Parties, plus

4161-8074-0173.234151-0972-6800.5

(v)any amounts owed to Aron in connection with any Lien Amounts, Credit Extensions or Advances under the Financing Agreement, including any interest or fees accrued thereon.

All of the foregoing amounts shall be aggregated or netted to a single liquidated amount owing from one Party to the other. If the Termination Amount is a positive number, it shall be due to Aron and if it is a negative number, the absolute value thereof shall be due to the Company.

(b)The Parties acknowledge that one or more of the components of the Termination Amount may not be able to be definitively determined by the Termination Date and therefore agree that Aron shall, estimate, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, each of such components and use such estimated components to determine an estimate of the Termination Amount (the “Estimated Termination Amount”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties agree that the amount due under Section 17.2(a)(i) above shall be estimated by Aron in the same manner and using the same methodology as it used in preparing the Estimated Commencement Date Value, but in each case, applying the Estimated Step-Out Index Amount and the applicable Prices for such Feedstock and Products (without giving effect to any Inventory Advance Rate, any Fixed Holdback Amount and any Incremental Holdback Amount) and other price terms provided for herein with respect to the purchase of the Termination Date Volumes or the calculation of other amounts that may be owed by the Transaction Parties hereunder. Aron shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare, and provide the Company with, an initial Estimated Termination Amount, together with appropriate supporting documentation, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Termination Date. To the extent reasonably practicable, Aron shall endeavor to update its calculation of the Estimated Termination Amount by no later than 4:00 p.m. ET on the Business Day prior to the Termination Date. Otherwise, the initial Estimated Termination Amount shall be the amount payable on the Termination Date. If the Estimated Termination Amount is a positive number, it shall be due to Aron and if it is a negative number, the absolute value thereof shall be due to the Company.

(c)On or before the later of fifteen (15) Business Days following the (i) Termination Date and (ii) the receipt by Aron from the Transaction Parties of the Termination Date Volumes, any applicable monthly reports or statements and any other information reasonably requested by Aron, Aron shall prepare, and provide the Company with, (y) a statement showing the calculation, as of the Termination Date, of the Termination Amount, and

(z) a statement (the “Termination Reconciliation Statement”) reconciling the Termination Amount with the sum of the Estimated Termination Amount pursuant to Section 17.2(b) and indicating any amount remaining to be paid by one Party to the other as a result of such reconciliation. Within one (1) Business Day after receiving the Termination Reconciliation Statement and the related supporting documentation, the Parties will make any and all payments required pursuant thereto. Promptly after receiving (or making) such payments (but in any event within five (5) Business Days), Aron shall (i) cause any filing or recording of any UCC financing forms to be terminated, (ii) release and terminate all Lien Documents pursuant to one or more instruments mutually acceptable to the Parties and (iii) deliver, re-assign, reconvey and transfer, as applicable, to the Transaction Parties any other Collateral or credit support held or maintained by Aron.

(d)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Aron shall not have any obligation to make any payment contemplated by this Section 17.2, transfer title to Feedstock or Products, release liens or otherwise cooperate in the transition matters described in Section 17.1 unless the Transaction Parties shall have performed their obligations under the Step-Out

4161-8074-0173.234151-0972-6800.5

Inventory Sales Agreement and this Section 17.2 as and when required pursuant to the terms hereof and thereof.

(e)Default Interest Rate for Termination Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Termination Amount is not paid when due, such overdue amount shall accrue interest at the Default Interest Rate (if owing to Aron) or the Aron Default Interest Rate (if owing to a Transaction Party) until such amount shall have been paid in full to the Party to whom such amount is owed.

17.3Transition Services. To the extent necessary to facilitate the transition to the purchasers of the storage and transportation rights and status contemplated hereby, each Party shall take such additional actions, execute such further instruments and provide such additional assistance as the other Party may from time to time reasonably request for such purposes.

The Parties acknowledge that Aron shall not have any payment obligation for the indemnification pursuant to clause (iii) above until the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Aron has been determined pursuant to a final and non-appealable judgement by a court of competent jurisdiction to such effect.

18.2To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law and except as specified otherwise elsewhere in the Transaction Documents, each Transaction Party shall, jointly and severally, defend, indemnify on an After-Tax Basis and hold harmless Aron, its Affiliates (including without limitation Goldman Sachs International), and their directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and contractors from and against any Liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of (i) any breach by any Transaction Party of any covenant or agreement contained in any Transaction Document or made in connection therewith or any representation or warranty of any Transaction Party made therein or in connection therewith proving to be false or misleading, including, without limitation the Transaction Parties’ obligation for payment of Taxes pursuant to Section 13.1, (ii) the Transaction Parties’ transportation, handling, storage, refining or disposal of any Feedstock or the products thereof, including any conduct by any Transaction Party on behalf of or as the agent of Aron under the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements, (iii) any Transaction Party’s failure to comply with its obligations under the terminaling, pipeline and lease agreements underlying any of the Bailee’s Letters or any of the

(iv) any Transaction Party’s negligence or willful misconduct, (v) any failure by any Transaction Party to comply with or observe any Applicable Law, (vi) injury, disease, or death of any person or damage to or loss of any property, fine or penalty, any of which is caused by any Transaction Party or its employees, representatives, agents or contractors in exercising any rights or performing any obligations hereunder or in connection herewith, (vii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Substances in connection with the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to or asserted in connection with the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, (viii) in the event that any Transaction Party holds title to any Included Feedstock Lien Inventory or Included Product Lien Inventory, any Liabilities directly or indirectly arising therefrom, (ix) any claim, liability, or demand made pursuant to an indemnity or undertaking given by Aron to a counterparty in connection with any of the Bailee Letters or any of the Required Storage and Transportation Arrangements (including the Base Agreements) or (x) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, including strict liability, whether brought by a third party, by any Transaction Party, and regardless of whether Aron is a party thereto, except to the extent that any Liability arising under clauses (vi), (vii), (viii) or (ix) above has resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Aron, its Affiliates or any of their respective employees, representatives, agents or contractors, in each case, as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, in no event shall any Transaction Party or any of its Affiliates, employees, representatives, agents or contractors, be deemed Aron’s employee, representative, agent or contractor for purposes hereof.

18.3The Parties’ obligations to defend, indemnify, and hold each other harmless under the terms of the Transaction Documents shall not vest any rights in any third party (whether a Governmental Authority or private entity), nor shall they be considered an admission of liability or responsibility for any purposes other than those enumerated in the Transaction Documents.

18.4Each Party agrees to notify the other as soon as practicable after receiving notice of any claim or suit brought against it within the indemnities of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, shall furnish to the other the complete details within its knowledge and shall render all reasonable assistance requested by the other in the defense; provided that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder, except to the extent that the indemnifying Party is materially adversely affected by such failure. Each Party shall have the right but not the duty to participate, at its own expense, with counsel of its own selection, in the defense and settlement thereof without relieving the other of any obligations hereunder.

18.5The Transaction Parties shall, jointly and severally, pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Aron and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel and tax consultants for Aron) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Aron and its Affiliates in connection with the enforcement or protection of Aron’s rights under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Each Party agrees that all amounts due under this Section 18.5 shall be (i) payable promptly after written demand therefor and (ii) secured by the Collateral and constitute Secured Obligations.

ARTICLE 23

ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS, ETC.

23.1This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties hereto, their respective successors and permitted assigns.

23.2Assignments. No Company Entity shall assign this Agreement or its rights or interests hereunder in whole or in part, or delegate its obligations hereunder in whole or in part, without the express written consent of Aron. Aron may, without the Company Entities’ consent, (a) assign and delegate all of Aron’s rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents as a whole to: (i) any Affiliate of Aron; provided that (x) the creditworthiness of such Affiliate, in the Company’s reasonable credit judgment, is equal or superior to the creditworthiness of Aron immediately prior to such assignment or (y) the obligations of such Affiliate hereunder are guaranteed by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.; or (ii) any non-Affiliate Person that succeeds to all or substantially all of Aron’s assets and business and assumes Aron’s obligations hereunder, whether by contract, operation of law or otherwise; provided that the creditworthiness of such successor entity, in the Company’s reasonable credit judgment, is equal or superior to the creditworthiness of Aron immediately prior to such assignment, provided, further, that, in the case of this clause (a), such permitted assignees shall have become a party to the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, (b) sell participations in all or any portions of the transactions contemplated pursuant to the Transaction Documents and the Secured Obligations pursuant to Section 23.3 and (c) assign, pledge and/or grant a security interest in the Transaction Documents pursuant to Section 23.4. Except as provided in this Article 23 other assignments by Aron, including an assignment of less than all Transaction Documents taken as a whole, shall require the Company’s express written consent.

23.3

Participations.

(a)Aron shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations in all or any portion of the transactions contemplated pursuant to the Transaction Documents or in any other Secured Obligations to any Person other than a Disqualified Institution; provided that (i) Aron’s obligations under the Transaction Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) Aron shall remain solely responsible to the Transaction Parties for the performance of such obligations and

(iii) the applicable Company Entities shall continue to deal solely and directly with Aron in connection with Aron’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. In the event that Aron sells a participation pursuant to this Section 23.3, Aron shall, acting solely for United States federal income tax purposes as a non-fiduciary agent of the

4161-8074-0173.234151-0972-6800.5

Company, maintain a register on which it records the name and address of each participant to which it has sold a participation and the amounts (and stated fees or interest, if applicable) of each such participant’s interest in the Transaction Documents or the Secured Obligations (the “Participant Register”); provided that Aron shall not have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Transaction Documents or Secured Obligations), except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such right or obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Unless otherwise required by the IRS, any disclosure required by the foregoing sentence shall be made by Aron directly and solely to the IRS. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Aron shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(b)The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of Aron, shall not be entitled to require Aron to take or omit to take any action hereunder, except that any participation agreement may provide that the participant’s consent must be obtained with respect to the consent of Aron to any waiver, amendment, modification or consent the effect of which would be to:

(i)(x) increase any Commitment or obligation of Aron to purchase or sell Feedstock or Products or make any Advances or Credit Extensions, in each case, other than any decisions by Aron to enter into Aron Procurement Contracts or Included Purchase Transactions or (y) postpone the scheduled expiration date of any of those matters addressed in (and not excepted from) the foregoing clause (x) (it being understood that no waiver, amendment or other modification of any condition precedent, covenant, Default or Event of Default shall constitute an increase in any Commitment or obligation of Aron for purposes of this Section 23.3(b)(i));

(ii)

extend the Term;

(iii)waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled payment under the Transaction Documents (but not any voluntary prepayment of Discretionary Draw Advances);

(iv)reduce the rate of interest or any fee or premium payable under the Transaction Documents, or waive or postpone the time for payment of any such interest, fee or premium;

(v)reduce the principal amount of any Advance or other Credit Extension or the amount owed to Aron in connection with any sales to the Transaction Parties of any Feedstock or Products under the Transaction Documents;

(vi)

waive, amend or modify any provision of this Section 23.3(b);

(vii)release all or substantially all the Collateral from the Liens of the Lien Documents; or

(viii)any determination regarding Prices, or any amendments to the provisions in the Transaction Documents governing Prices.

4161-8074-0173.234151-0972-6800.5

(c)The Company Entities agree that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.8 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein), and, to the extent such participant holds a participation in any Secured Obligations arising under the Financing Agreement, Sections 7.12 and 7.13 of the Financing Agreement (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were Aron and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 23.2; provided, that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 7.12 or 7.13 of the Financing Agreement with respect to any participation than Aron would have been entitled to receive with respect to such participation sold to such participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of any set-off and recoupment provisions relating to the portion of the Secured Obligations in which it is participating as though it were Aron.

(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 23.3 or any other term set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, (i) at a time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any participant shall not at any time be subject to any limitations on its rights to require Aron to take or omit to take any action under the Transaction Documents unless expressly set forth in the participation agreement between Aron and such participant (in Aron’s sole discretion) and (ii) Aron shall have no liability or obligations as a result of any participant obtaining, holding or exercising any rights to require Aron to take or omit to take any action hereunder or under any other Transaction Documents in accordance with clause (d)(i) above.

23.4Certain Other Transfers. In addition to any other assignment or participation permitted pursuant to this Article 23, Aron may assign, pledge and/or grant a security interest in all or any portion of the Secured Obligations owed to it, and its notes, if any, to secure obligations of Aron, including to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any operating circular issued by any Federal Reserve Bank or to any other central bank; provided that, Aron shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents as a result of any such assignment and pledge; and provided further that in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, other central bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be “Aron” hereunder or under any other Transaction Document.

23.5Any attempted assignment in violation of this Article 23 shall be null and void ab initio and the non-assigning Party shall have the right, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies it may have hereunder or otherwise, to terminate this Agreement effective immediately upon notice to the Party attempting such assignment.
