ARTICLE 1. DEMISE OF PREMISES AND ACCESS EASEMENT
1.01 Demise of Premises. In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements of this Sublease, and other good and valuable consideration, Landlord demises and subleases to Tenant, and Tenant subleases from Landlord, the Premises, reserving unto Landlord (i) an easement appurtenant to Landlords Remaining Property for the use, operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the Transmix Facilities, including without limitation an easement for ingress to and egress from the portion of the Premises on which the Transmix Facilities are located (the Transmix Facilities Easement) and (ii) an easement appurtenant to Landlords Remaining Property for pedestrian and vehicular ingress and egress to and from the Landlords Remaining Property over and across the portion of the Premises adjacent to Landlords Remaining Property used by Tenant for pedestrian and vehicular ingress and egress to and from the Premises.

1.02 Access Easement. Landlord grants Tenant an easement for pedestrian and vehicular ingress and egress to and from the Premises and for utility access over and across Landlords Remaining Property as reasonably needed by Tenant in order to operate the Premises. Landlord shall have the right to designate a reasonable course through which Tenant and its employees, agents, contractors and invitees must follow across Landlords Remaining Property in order to access the Premises, and to otherwise establish reasonable restrictions upon Tenants use of Landlords Remaining Property for access to the Premises.
1.03 Master Lease. This Sublease is and shall be subject to and subordinate to the Master Lease. During the term of this Sublease and for all subsequent periods for obligations which have arisen prior to the termination of this Sublease, Tenant does hereby expressly assume and agree to perform and comply with, for the benefit of Landlord and Master Lessor, each and every obligation of the Landlord under the Master Lease insofar as the same is applicable to the Premises and the easements over the Landlords Remaining Property, other than the obligation to pay rent to the Master Lessor. Tenant agrees to attorn to Master Lessor if Landlord defaults under the Master Lease and if Tenant is notified of Landlords default and is instructed by Master Lessor to make Tenants rental payments to Master Lessor. If for any reason the Master Lease is terminated, including but not limited to a termination caused by Landlords default under the Master Lease, this Sublease shall automatically terminate, and any obligations of Landlord to Tenant shall be terminated.
ARTICLE 2. SUBLEASE TERM
2.01 Term. Unless terminated sooner as provided in this Sublease, the term of this Sublease begins on the date of this Sublease and ends on December 31, 2011. Tenant may, at its option, extend the term of this lease for three (3) additional lease terms of five (5) years each, subject to all the provisions of this Lease; provided, however, that no extension of this Sublease shall be for a term that ends after December 31, 2026, which is the last possible expiration date of the Master Lease if all available extension options are exercised by Landlord thereunder. The terms and conditions on which the extension options may be exercised shall be the same as those set forth in Section 1.06 of the Master Lease; provided, however, that the written notice of exercise shall be given not more than 395 days and not less than 210 days before the last day of the previous Lease Term. If Tenant exercises an extension option in accordance with this Lease, Landlord shall exercise the applicable option to extend under the Master Lease.
2.02 Termination. This Sublease will terminate without further notice on the earlier of (i) when the term specified in Section 2.01, as extended, expires, and (ii) if and when Landlords right, title and interest in Landlords Property and/or Premises are terminated; and any holding over by Tenant after that term expires will not constitute a renewal of this Sublease or give Tenant any rights under this Sublease in or to the Premises.
2
2.03 Holdover. If Tenant holds over and continues in possession of the Premises after the Sublease term, Tenant will be considered to be occupying the Premises at will, subject to all the terms of this Sublease.
2.04 Surrender of Premises. Tenant shall surrender the Premises by the end of the last day of the Sublease term or any earlier termination date.
ARTICLE 3. RENT
3.01 Basic Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord in legal tender of the United States of America seventy-eight percent (78%) of the Basic Rent payable by Landlord to Master Lessor from time to time under the Master Lease, including without limitation the Basic Rent payable during any extended lease term, without deduction and without notice or demand, and in equal quarterly installments in advance on or before the first day of each calendar quarter, with partial periods prorated on a daily basis.
ARTICLE 4. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
Tenant and its employees, agents and invitees shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules, regulations and orders in use of the Premises. Tenant shall secure and maintain current all required permits, licenses, certificates, and approvals relating to its use of the Premises. Landlord shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules, regulations and orders pertaining to the operation of Landlords Remaining Property and the Premises to the extent reasonably necessary to enable Tenant to exercise its rights provided hereunder.
ARTICLE 5. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
5.01 Termination on Default. Except as otherwise specifically noted in this Sublease to the contrary, if Tenant defaults in performing any covenant or term of this Sublease and does not correct the default within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord to Tenant, Landlord may declare this Sublease, and all rights and interest created by it, terminated; provided, however, that in the event such default cannot, in the exercise of reasonable diligence, be cured within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord may not exercise its remedies under this Article unless Tenant (i) fails to commence the cure of the default within such thirty (30) day period, or (ii) thereafter fails to proceed with curative measures with reasonable diligence. If Landlord elects to terminate, this Sublease will cease as if the day of Landlords election were the day originally fixed in this Sublease for its expiration, and Landlord or its agent or attorney may resume possession of the Premises.
5.02 Other Remedies. Any termination of this Sublease as provided in this Article 5 will not relieve Tenant from paying any sum or sums due and payable to Landlord under this Sublease at the time of termination, or any claim for damages then or previously accruing against Tenant under this Sublease. Any such termination will not prevent Landlord from enforcing the payment of any such sum or sums or claim for damages by any remedy provided for by law, or from recovering damages from Tenant for any default under this Sublease. All Landlords rights, options, and remedies under this Sublease will be construed to be cumulative, and no one of them is exclusive of the other. Landlord may pursue any or all such remedies or any other remedy or relief provided by
3
law, whether or not stated in this Sublease. No waiver by Landlord of a breach of any of the covenants or conditions of this Sublease may be construed a waiver of any succeeding or preceding breach of the same or any other covenant or condition of this Sublease.
ARTICLE 6. QUIET ENJOYMENT
Landlord covenants that as long as Tenant observes the covenants and terms of this Sublease, Tenant will lawfully and quietly hold, occupy, and enjoy the Premises during the Sublease term without being disturbed by Landlord or any person claiming under Landlord, except for any portion of the Premises that is taken under the power of eminent domain.
ARTICLE 7. GENERAL PROTECTIVE PROVISIONS
7.01 Right of Entry and Inspection. Tenant must permit Landlord or its agents, representatives, or employees to enter the Premises at reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice for the purposes of inspection; determining whether Tenant is complying with this Sublease; and maintaining, repairing, or altering the Premises in accordance with the terms hereof.
7.02 No Partnership or Joint Venture. The relationship between Landlord and Tenant is at all times solely that of landlord and tenant and may not be deemed a partnership or a joint venture.
7.03 No Waiver. No waiver by either party of any default or breach of any covenant or term of this Sublease may be treated as a waiver of any subsequent default or breach of the same or any other covenant or term of this Sublease.
7.04 Release of Landlord. If Landlord transfers all or part of the Premises and as a part of the transaction assigns its interest as Landlord in this Sublease, then as of the effective date of the assignment or transfer, Landlord will have no further liability under this Sublease to Tenant, except with respect to liability matters that have accrued and are unsatisfied as of that date. Underlying this release is the parties intent that Landlords covenants and obligations under this Sublease will bind Landlord and its successors and assigns only during and in respect of their respective successive periods of ownership of the fee.

8.01 Memorandum of Sublease. The parties agree not to place this Sublease of record, but each party shall, at the request of the other, subject to the consent rights of the Master Lessor, execute and acknowledge so that the same may be recorded a memorandum of sublease containing such provisions as the requesting party shall reasonably request. The requesting party shall pay all costs, taxes, fees and other expenses in connection with or prerequisite to recording.
