WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to purchase from Sellers, and Sellers desire to sell to Purchaser, the Shares, subject to terms and conditions contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth above and in the body of this Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinabove and hereinafter set forth, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

I.	PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES

1.1. Purchase and Sale of Shares. Purchaser agrees to purchase from Sellers, and Sellers, jointly and severally, agree to sell to Purchaser, all the Shares of Company for the Share Purchase Price set forth in Section 2.1 below.

1.2. Definitions. Capitalized terms not defined elsewhere in this Agreement are defined in Article XIII.

II.	PURCHASE PRICE AND DEPOSIT

2.1. Purchase Price. As consideration for the Shares, Purchaser shall pay to Sellers an aggregate of Seventy-four Million Three Hundred Forty-five Thousand Seven Hundred Forty-eight Dollars ($74,345,748) (the “Share Purchase Price”) or Two Million Nine Hundred Fifteen Thousand Nine Hundred Seventy-six and 90/100 Dollars ($2,915,976.90) per Share subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.2 (the Share Purchase Price as adjusted shall be referred to as the “Adjusted Share Purchase Price”). The Share Purchase Price shall be paid in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 4.4.

2.2. Post-Closing Adjustment of the Share Purchase Price.

(a) After the Closing, the Share Purchase Price shall be adjusted upward or downward based upon the difference between (A) the Current Assets on the Closing Date and (B) the Current Liabilities on the Closing Date determined as follows: (i) if the Current Assets at Closing shall exceed the Current Liabilities at Closing, then the Share Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of such difference; or (ii) if the Current Liabilities on the Closing Date shall exceed the Current Assets on the Closing Date, then the Share Purchase Price shall be reduced by such difference. Any post-Closing adjustment to the Share Purchase Price shall be paid within three (3) Business Days of final determination under Section 2.2(b).

(b) Within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers a consolidated balance sheet of Company as of the Closing Date (in its final and binding form, the “Closing Balance Sheet”), setting forth the Current Assets and Current Liabilities calculated in accordance with GAAP (except that the value of the Inventory will be calculated in accordance with Section 3.3, and not GAAP), consistently applied, and a certificate setting forth the resulting Adjusted Share Purchase Price calculated with reference to such amounts (in its final and binding form, together with the Closing Balance Sheet, the “Share Purchase Price Calculation”). During the 20-day period immediately following the Sellers’ receipt of the Share Purchase Price Calculation, the Sellers shall be permitted to review Company’s books and records, the Purchaser’s working papers and any other documents related to the preparation of the Share Purchase Price Calculation and determination of the Adjusted Share Purchase Price. The Share Purchase Price Calculation shall become final and binding upon the Parties twenty (20) days following the Sellers’ receipt thereof unless the Sellers give written notice of their disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Purchaser on or before such date. Any Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail the nature and dollar amount of any disagreement so asserted and shall be delivered only if (and to the extent that) the Sellers reasonably and in good faith determine that the Share Purchase Price Calculation and the resulting Adjusted Share Purchase Price calculated with reference thereto delivered by Purchaser have not been determined in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement. If a timely Notice of Disagreement is received by Purchaser, then the Share Purchase Price Calculation (as revised in accordance with clause (x) or (y) below) shall become final and binding upon the Parties on the earlier of (x) the date the Parties resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement, or (y) the date all matters in dispute are finally resolved in writing by the Independent Auditor. During the twenty (20) days following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, the Parties shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. Following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Purchaser and its agents and representatives shall be permitted to review the Sellers’ and their representatives’ working papers and any other documents relating to the Notice of Disagreement, the Share Purchase Price Calculation, the Adjusted Share Purchase Price and the Closing Balance Sheet. At the end of the 20-day period referred to above, the Parties shall submit to the Independent Auditor for review and resolution all matters (but only such matters) that remain in dispute and that were properly included in the Notice of Disagreement. The Parties shall instruct the Independent Auditor to make a final determination of the Current Assets and Current Liabilities and the resulting Adjusted Share Purchase Price calculated with reference to such amount, to the extent such amount is in dispute, in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement. The Parties will cooperate with the Independent Auditor during the term of its engagement and shall instruct the Independent Auditor not to assign a value to any item in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by the Purchaser, on the one hand, or Sellers, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item assigned by the Purchaser, on the one hand, or Sellers, on the other hand. The Parties also shall instruct the Independent Auditor to make its determination based solely on written and oral presentations by the Purchaser and Sellers that are in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review). The Share Purchase Price Calculation and the determination of the Current Assets and Current Liabilities and the resulting Adjusted Share Purchase Price calculated with reference thereto shall become final and binding on the Parties on the date the Independent Auditor delivers its final resolution in writing to the Parties (which final resolution shall be requested by the Parties to be delivered not more than forty-five (45) days following submission of such disputed matters to the Independent Auditor). The fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor shall be allocated to the Parties as determined (and as set forth in the final determination) by the Independent Auditor based upon the relative success (in terms of percentages) of each Party’s claims. For example, if the final determination reflects a 60/40 compromise of the Parties’ claims, the Independent Auditor would allocate expenses 40% to the Party whose claims were determined to be 60% successful and 60% to the Party whose claims were determined to be 40% successful.

2.3. Deposit. On the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deliver a deposit in the amount of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) (the “Deposit”) to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Attention: Lynn Lean, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Escrow Agent. The Deposit shall be held by the Escrow Agent subject to the terms of an escrow agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Escrow Agreement”). If the Closing does not occur, for any reason, the Deposit will be distributed according to Article XI hereof.

2.4. Form of Payment. All payments by Purchaser to Sellers under this Agreement at Closing shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Sellers in writing before Closing for such purpose.

III.	PHYSICAL COUNT PROCEDURES AND VALUATION OF INVENTORY

3.1. Physical Count Inventory Procedures. Not more than ten (10) days before or ten (10) days after the Closing, unless otherwise agreed by Sellers and Purchaser, a physical count of the Inventory at the Locations (the “Physical Inventory”) shall be taken by the Independent Auditor. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Sellers and Purchaser, the procedures for conducting the Physical Inventory and valuing the Inventory are set forth in this Article III.

3.2. Physical Inventory Procedures.

(a) Observation Rights. Both Sellers’ and Purchaser’s representatives can be present to observe the taking of the Physical Inventory. The representatives of Sellers and Purchaser shall execute an inventory completion certificate when the Physical Inventory is complete.

(b) Merchandise, Food Service, Lottery Inventory, and Car Wash Supplies Inventory. A physical count of actual quantities of Merchandise Inventory, Food Service Inventory, Lottery Inventory, and Car Wash Supplies Inventory will be taken by the Independent Auditor not more than ten (10) days before or ten (10) days after the Closing. Representatives of Purchaser and Sellers will be available on site at each Location at the time the Independent Auditor is conducting the Physical Inventory at such Location and, in connection therewith, will count and verify the Cash on Hand at each Location.

(c) Petroleum Inventory. A measurement of the amount of the Petroleum Inventory at the Locations shall be made as close as practicable to the Closing Date. Arrangements will be made to have employees at the Locations take readings from the automatic tank gauges (“ATG”), where available, or manual stick readings, where readings from the ATGs are not available, as of the Closing Date, as verified by the Independent Auditor. The Petroleum Inventory, water and sediment level readings will be measured by the ATG (where available) and printed out. Simultaneously, the employees shall cause the ATG to close the shift totals for petroleum sales and print out the closing report. All tank inventories shall be taken at ambient conditions and calculated at total observed volume using the ATG (where available) at the Locations. A comparison of each Location’s volumes as calculated from the Physical Inventory will be compared to the Location’s book inventory and sales records. Excessive variances may be questioned by Purchaser and, if reasonably necessary, Purchaser may request that a second Physical Inventory be taken to ensure the accuracy of the reported readings.

3.3. Valuation of Inventory. For purposes of calculating the Adjusted Share Purchase Price, the book value of Inventory items which are considered Current Assets hereunder shall be adjusted as set forth in this Section 3.3.

(a) Merchandise Inventory. Merchandise Inventory (other than cigarettes) will be valued at sixty-seven and one-half percent (67.5%) of Company’s retail price of each item, and cigarettes will be valued at Company’s actual cost.

(b) Supplies Inventory. The normal operating level of Supplies Inventory (excluding Car Wash Supplies Inventory) will be maintained by Company at all times prior to the Closing Date and shall be valued at $1,500 for each Location.

(c) Car Wash Supplies Inventory. The normal operating level of Car Wash Supplies Inventory will be maintained by Company at all times prior to the Closing Date and shall be valued at the lesser of Company’s cost or book value at Closing.

(d) Lottery Inventory. Lottery Inventory will be maintained by Company at all times prior to the Closing Date and shall be valued at cost at Closing.

(e) Cash on Hand. The amount of the Cash on Hand shall be included in the value of the Inventory for each Location.

(f) Food Service Inventory. Food Service Inventory will be valued at Company’s cost, as determined by Company’s monthly foodservice inventory form, a copy of which will be provided to Purchaser and the Independent Auditor before or at the Physical Inventory.

(g) Petroleum Inventory. The Petroleum Inventory will be valued utilizing Company’s cost of each grade of product for the last delivery to the Locations plus the current freight rate charged to transport the product to the Locations. The total value of Petroleum Inventory is to include all state sales and state and federal excise Taxes, whether or not Purchaser holds an exemption certificate and all applicable state sales and state and federal excise Taxes associated therewith shall be accrued as a Current Liability in the Company’s books and records to the extent not paid. The Petroleum Inventory will be valued net of any prompt payment discounts booked by Company to reduce the fuels payable account.

(h) Deliveries and Sales of Inventory. All deliveries of Inventory to, and all sales of Inventory at, each Location after the Physical Inventory is completed but before the Closing Date shall be taken into account for purposes of determining the Inventory at Closing.

(i) Disputes. Should any disputes that cannot readily be settled between the Parties arise as to the count or pricing of any category of the Inventory, the amount then disputed shall be determined under the procedure set forth in Section 2.2(b).

3.4. Costs. Purchaser and Sellers, jointly and severally, shall share on an equal basis all of the costs and expenses of the Physical Inventory.

4.5. Property Tax Adjustments; Rents and Prepaid Expenses; Utilities. Without limiting the generality of Section 2.2 above, in calculating Current Assets and Current Liabilities, the following shall apply to Property Taxes, rents and prepaid expenses and utilities:

(a) all real estate Taxes on Owned Real Properties, ad valorem personal property and inventory Taxes, fire district Taxes, and other such charges with respect to any of the Assets, including special or betterment assessments against any of the Assets which are payable in installments over more than one year

(collectively, “Property Taxes”), shall be adjusted on the basis of the fiscal year (regardless of the date of assessment) of the state, county, city or town in which any respective Assets are situated (the “Fiscal Year”) and shall be deemed to be a Current Liability. Property Taxes will include (i) only the Taxes that are due and payable in a Fiscal Year with respect to Taxes assessed in one year, but payable in another, and (ii) only those installments of special assessments due and payable in a Fiscal Year with respect to special assessments payable in installments. All unpaid Property Taxes that are due and payable in any Fiscal Year ending on or before the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of Sellers and shall be accounted for as a Current Liability. Property Taxes that are due and payable in the Fiscal Year in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated between Sellers and Purchaser, with Sellers being responsible for the portion of such Fiscal Year up to and including the Closing Date and shall be accounted for as a Current Liability. Purchaser shall be responsible for the portion of such Fiscal Year after the Closing Date. Payment of any Property Taxes to the appropriate Governmental Authority that are due and payable in a Fiscal Year first commencing after the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of the Purchaser. Subject to the proration requirements of this Section 4.5(a) and the terms of Section 2.2, all installments of Property Taxes having a due date on or before the Closing Date shall be paid by Company on or before the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall pay all installments of Property Taxes having a due date after the Closing Date. At the Closing, the net amount of all Property Tax adjustments computed according to this Section 4.5(a), for which Sellers are responsible shall be added to Current Liabilities. If the amount of any Property Taxes is not fixed and determined as of the Closing Date, the foregoing Closing adjustment shall be based on the amount thereof as reasonably estimated at Closing. The foregoing adjustment will be finally determined as part of the calculation contemplated by Section 2.2.

(b) Rents (collected from Third Party Leases and paid on the Leased Real Properties), prepaid expenses, and other similar items relating to the Assets shall be prorated between the Parties as of the Closing Date. To the extent that any Leased Real Properties require payment of additional rent, percentage rental, real estate Taxes, insurance, common area maintenance and other lease charges, including any amounts calculated based on sales or gross or net income or cost of goods, Sellers shall be responsible for the same, and agree to pay, or cause Company and Purchased Subsidiary to pay, to the extent the same accrue related to periods before and ending as of the Closing Date for the particular Location, and Purchaser shall be responsible and agrees to pay the same for periods after the applicable Closing Date. At the Closing, an appropriate adjustment in the Current Assets or Current Liabilities, as the case may be, shall be made as between Sellers and Purchaser to the extent there has been a prepayment or a shortfall in the payment of the same. The foregoing adjustment will be finally determined as part of the calculation contemplated by Section 2.2.

(c) Charges for water, gas, power, light and other utility service shall be the responsibility of Sellers with respect to service up to the Closing Date and shall be Purchaser’s responsibility with respect to service on and after the Closing Date. The Parties shall endeavor to obtain meter readings or other evidence of the amounts due for utilities before Closing, but if such readings or evidence cannot be obtained before Closing, the Closing shall be completed without adjustment of the same, and upon obtaining such reading or evidence after Closing, Sellers shall pay Purchaser the charges incurred before the Closing based upon such reading. At the Closing, an appropriate adjustment in the Current Assets or Current Liabilities, as the case may be, shall be made as between Sellers and Purchaser to account for the above allocation of utility charges. The foregoing adjustment will be finally determined as part of the calculation contemplated by Section 2.2.

(b) From time to time during the Interim Period, Sellers shall have the right to supplement or amend the Non-Environmental Schedules with respect to any events, occurrences, facts or matters, whether or not such events, occurrences or matters relate to the period prior to or during the Interim Period. Sellers may supplement or amend the Non-Environmental Schedules by providing written notice to Purchaser of their intent to supplement or amend the Schedules and a copy of their proposed supplement or amendment to the Non-Environmental Schedules (the “Supplemental Schedule Notice”). Sellers may, at their option, include in a Supplemental Schedule Notice items that are not material in order to avoid any misunderstanding, and such inclusion, or any references to dollar amounts, shall not be deemed to be an acknowledgement or representation that such items are material, to establish any standard of materiality or to define further the meaning of such terms for purposes of this Agreement. Sellers will be required to provide a Supplemental Schedule Notice with respect to all information of which Sellers become aware that could reasonably be construed to be a Breach any of Sellers’ representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement.

(c) Within ten (10) Business Days following Purchaser’s receipt of a Supplemental Schedule Notice, Purchaser has the right to provide written notice to Sellers that Purchaser believes any or all of the information contained in a Supplemental Schedule Notice constitutes a Breach of any of Sellers’ representations and warranties under this Agreement, including a description with reasonable specificity of all information related thereto (hereinafter, a “Claim Notice”). If Purchaser does not submit a Claim Notice within five Business Days of Purchaser’s receipt of a Supplemental Schedule Notice, the Schedules shall be deemed to have been updated with the information included in the Supplemental Schedule Notice and Purchaser’s right to make any indemnification claim based on a Breach of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement with respect to information included in the Supplemental Schedule Notice shall be deemed to be waived.

(e) If the Parties agree on the Breach Amount on or before the Closing Date, the Breach Amount shall be deducted from the Share Purchase Price at Closing, the Schedules shall be updated to reflect the information identified in the Claim Notice, and Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any right or claim to indemnification for the information identified in the Claim Notice, including pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof, with respect to any and all matters identified in the Claim Notice.

which it received such Confidential Information, including that certain confidentiality agreement, dated July 1, 2014, between Purchaser and Matrix for the benefit of Sellers and Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). If this Agreement is terminated before the Closing, Purchaser promptly shall return to Sellers or destroy all Confidential Information and shall not retain copies thereof, including all information, testing, studies, surveys, reports and evaluations (environmental and financial, for example), and at Sellers’ request, Purchaser shall provide Sellers with complete copies of all third party engineering and environmental reports obtained by Purchaser in connection with the Owned Real Properties and Leased Real Properties.

Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Sellers harmless for the acts of Purchaser and/or Purchaser’s agents, employees or contractors in performing the ESA and Environmental Compliance Testing and Purchaser shall return each Location to its previous condition upon completion of its activities in connection with the ESA and Environmental Compliance Testing. Purchaser shall deliver a copy of any final reports or assessments resulting from such investigations and testing to Seller promptly after their completion. Any investigation conducted pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall be conducted in accordance with the terms of Article VII.

7.4. Environmental Schedules Updates.

(a) During the Interim Period, Purchaser commits to promptly disclose to Sellers any information (whether contained in any ESA report, discovered in connection with any Environmental Compliance Testing or otherwise) which could reasonably be construed to be a Breach of any of Sellers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.20 of this Agreement (a “Stock Environmental Breach”), and shall describe with reasonably specificity all information relating thereto (a “Purchaser Stock Environmental Notice”). In addition to the foregoing, to the extent that Sellers become aware of any information which could reasonably be construed to be a Stock Environmental Breach, Sellers shall promptly provide written notice of such Stock Environmental Breach to Purchaser (which shall describe with reasonable specificity all information relating thereto) (a “Seller Stock Environmental Notice” and, together with a Purchaser Stock Environmental Notice, a “Stock Environmental Notice”).

(b) Following delivery of a Stock Environmental Notice by either Party, Purchaser and Sellers shall negotiate in good faith to determine (i) whether the details described in the Stock Environmental Notice constitute a Stock Environmental Breach and (ii) if a Stock Environmental Breach exists or has occurred, the appropriate Stock Remedial Measures relating to such Stock Environmental Breach that should be added to Schedule 8.7(a).

(c) If the Parties agree on (i) the existence or occurrence of a Stock Environmental Breach and (ii) the appropriate Stock Remedial Measures relating to such Stock Environmental Breach to be added to Schedule 8.7(a), then Schedule 5.20 shall be updated to reflect the information regarding the Stock Environmental Breach and Schedule 8.7(a) shall be updated to reflect the agreed-upon Stock Remedial Measures relating to such Stock Environmental Breach.

(d) If the Parties are unable to agree on (i) the existence or occurrence of a Stock Environmental Breach or (ii) the appropriate Stock Remedial Measures relating to such Stock Environmental Breach to be added to the applicable Schedule 8.7(a), then Schedule 5.20 will not be updated with the information regarding the Stock Environmental Breach and, in the event that the transactions contemplated herein close, Purchaser will retain the right to pursue a claim for indemnification based on the Stock Environmental Breach post-Closing.

7.5. Notices to Governmental Agencies. If Purchaser’s due diligence reveals any condition at the Locations that requires disclosure to any governmental agency or authority, Purchaser shall immediately (a) notify Sellers thereof, and (b) provide all data and analysis concerning the condition acquired during the due diligence process including without limitation the ESA. Purchaser acknowledges that applicable rules may require notification to a governmental agency within twenty-four (24) hours of occurrence, and Purchaser agrees to take all reasonable steps necessary to support the ability of Company or Sellers, as the case may be, to meet this obligation. Except as provided by Law, in such event, at all times prior to the Closing, Sellers, and not Purchaser, Purchaser’s agents, or anyone acting on Purchaser’s behalf, shall make such legal determinations regarding disclosures as Sellers deem appropriate.

7.6. Purchaser Acknowledgments. Purchaser specifically acknowledges that, except for Sellers’ representations and warranties in this Agreement and the Designated Seller Documents, and subject to Sellers’ obligations as contained in this Agreement and the Designated Seller Documents, Purchaser is not relying on any representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, from Sellers, Matrix, or any director, officer, employee, representative, broker or other agent of any of them, as to any matters concerning the Locations, the Assets and/or the Business conducted therewith, including: (a) the condition or safety of the Owned Real Properties and Leased Real Properties or any improvements thereon, including plumbing, sewer, heating and electrical systems, roofing, air conditioning, if any, foundations, soils and geology, lot size, or suitability of the Owned Real Properties and Leased Real Properties or their improvements for a particular purpose; (b) whether the appliances, if any, plumbing or utilities are in working order; (c) the habitability or suitability for occupancy of any structure and the quality of its construction; (d) the fitness or condition of any personal property; (e) whether the fixtures or improvements, including the Fuel Equipment, are structurally sound, in good condition, or in compliance with applicable Laws; (f) the profits or losses relating to operations at the Locations; (g) the legal or tax consequences of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; (h) the environmental condition of the Owned Real Properties and Leased Real Properties, including but not limited to the possible presence of petroleum products and/or Hazardous Substances in, under or near the Owned Real Properties and Leased Real Properties; and (i) the completeness or accuracy of any information provided to Purchaser by Sellers or their agents. Purchaser understands the legal significance of the foregoing provisions and acknowledges that they are a material inducement to Sellers’ willingness to enter into this Agreement.

7.7. Disclaimer of Other Representations and Warranties. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT PURCHASER HAS BEEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXAMINE ALL ASPECTS OF COMPANY AND TO REVIEW ALL FILES CONCERNING THE LOCATIONS MAINTAINED BY COMPANY AND ITS ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS AND ALL STATE AGENCIES HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THE LOCATIONS BEFORE PURCHASER’S EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE DESIGNATED SELLER DOCUMENTS, PURCHASER AGREES THAT THE SHARES SHALL BE SOLD AND THAT PURCHASER SHALL ACCEPT THAT COMPANY OWNS THE ASSETS AT CLOSING STRICTLY ON AN “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS” BASIS, WITH NO RIGHT OF SET-OFF OR REDUCTION IN THE SHARE PURCHASE PRICE OR INDEMNIFICATION EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, THE PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT AND THE DESIGNATED SELLER DOCUMENTS AND THAT, EXCEPT FOR SELLERS’ REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE DESIGNATED SELLER DOCUMENTS, THE SALE OF SHARES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE WITHOUT REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF INCOME POTENTIAL, OPERATING EXPENSES, USES, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND SELLERS DO HEREBY DISCLAIM AND RENOUNCE ANY SUCH REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY.

VIII.

(e) Purchaser and Sellers shall, and Sellers shall cause Company and Purchased Subsidiary to, promptly advise each other upon receiving any communication from any Governmental Authority whose consent or approval is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that causes such Party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any requisite regulatory approval will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such approval will be materially delayed.

8.7. Environmental Responsibilities.

(a) The Parties acknowledge that Company is currently undertaking Stock Remedial Measures as set forth on Schedule 8.7(a); provided that Schedule 8.7(a) may be amended prior to the Closing Date in accordance with Section 7.4. Purchaser understands that Sellers shall have no obligation to perform any environmental remediation except for the Stock Remedial Measures set forth on Schedule 8.7(a), as may be amended pursuant to Section 7.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an ESA or any Environmental Compliance Testing conducted by Purchaser (or any ESA or Environmental Compliance Testing conducted by Sellers) prior to the Closing reveals a release of petroleum or Hazardous Substances at the Locations which is required to be reported to the Applicable State Environmental Agencies, and which have not been previously reported to Applicable State Environmental Agencies, then Purchaser shall advise Sellers, as applicable, and Sellers and Company shall promptly, but in all cases prior to Closing, report the same to Applicable State Environmental Agencies. Sellers shall thereafter, and through Closing, use commercially reasonable efforts to seek funds, if any, which may be available from applicable local, state or federal agencies in Minnesota, Michigan, South Dakota or Wisconsin to offset the cost of any required Stock Remedial Measures. Sellers agree to be financially responsible for the cost of any Stock Remedial Measures to the extent such Stock Remedial Measures are not covered by insurance or do not qualify for reimbursement from trust funds from such States or other applicable governmental agency, if such Stock Remedial Measures are specifically listed on Schedule 8.7(a), as may be amended pursuant to Section 7.4. “Stock Remedial Measures” shall consist of the lowest cost activities reasonably required by applicable Law and by Applicable State Environmental Agencies or other applicable governmental agency to (a) clean up, remove, treat or in any other way address any contaminant or Hazardous Substances in the indoor/outdoor environment; (b) contain, mitigate or otherwise prevent the release or the threat of release or minimize the further release of any contaminant or Hazardous Substances so that it does not migrate or endanger or threaten to endanger public health or welfare of the indoor or outdoor environment; (c) perform pre-remedial studies and investigations and post-remedial monitoring and care required under the Environmental Laws; or (d) recover response or remedial costs or to secure the involvement or cooperation of other Persons potentially responsible for any cost of remediation including, without limitation, prosecuting any legal action

(b) Company’s obligation to conduct Stock Remedial Measures for the Locations identified on Schedule 8.7(a), as may be amended pursuant to Section 7.4, shall be deemed complete for purposes of this Agreement upon receipt by Company of a written letter, order or statement from Applicable State Environmental Agencies or other appropriate Governmental Authority stating that, subject to the agency’s usual and customary reservation of rights, it will not require Company to perform further Stock Remedial Measures with respect to the release (“Closure Letter”), other than routine monitoring. If requested to do so by Applicable State Environmental Agencies or other appropriate Governmental Authority in connection with the performance of the Stock Remedial Measures or the issuance of the Closure Letter, the Parties acknowledge that Company may be asked to place reasonable activity and use limitations (“AULs”) on the Locations, including, if requested, prohibiting the use of groundwater under the Locations for potable purposes and/or restricting the use of the Locations to non-residential purposes. Company shall promptly provide a copy of the Closure Letter to Purchaser and Sellers upon receipt.

(c) With respect to Unknown Pollution, on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall procure and pay for a PLL Policy covering all of the Locations. Sellers agree to contribute Seventy-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($75,000.00) towards payment of the premium for such PLL Policy, which shall be deducted at Closing. Such PLL Policy, to the extent available in the marketplace, shall cover remediation costs and third-party liability for Unknown Pollution as well as third-party liability for Known Pollution and shall identify Sellers, Company, and Team Investments as additional insureds. The PLL Policy shall also include coverage for New Pollution. The PLL Policy shall be written with no less than a five (5) year term and shall have limits of $5,000,000 and a self-insured retention (“SIR”) of $50,000. Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of the SIR. For the avoidance of doubt, Sellers shall have no responsibility for losses incurred after five (5) years from the Closing Date.

(d) If the Stock Remedial Measures required under this Section 8.7(a) have not been completed prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall remain financially responsible for the cost of any such incomplete Stock Remedial Measures to the extent such Stock Remedial Measures are not covered by insurance or do not qualify for reimbursement from trust funds from such States or other applicable governmental agency. If the Stock Remedial Measures required under Section 8.7(a) have not been completed at the time of Closing (other than Stock Remedial Measures relating to Excluded Assets), Sellers shall deposit the amount reflected on Schedule 8.7(d) (the

“Stock Environmental Remediation Escrow”) (which Schedule shall be delivered by Sellers to Purchaser at the Closing and which amount will be determined by Sellers, in consultation with Purchaser, based on Sellers’ reasonable estimates for the remaining expected remediation costs) into the Escrow Account to provide for the expected remediation costs for such sites. From and after the Closing Date, Sellers shall use their best efforts to complete the Stock Remedial Measures set forth on Schedule 8.7(a); provided, however, that (i) Sellers shall keep Purchaser and Company reasonably informed as to their progress in completing the Stock Remedial Measures set forth on Schedule 8.7(a) and (ii) Company and Purchaser shall have the right to take over responsibility for completion of the Stock Remedial Measures and direct the completion of the Stock Remedial Measures (which shall remain at Sellers’ cost and expense) if (x) Sellers are in Breach of their responsibilities under this Section 8.7, (y) Purchaser has provided written notice of such Breach to Sellers, and (z) Sellers fail to remedy such Breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent one Party receives insurance proceeds to cover Stock Remedial Measures undertaken by the other Party, the Party receiving such insurance proceeds shall reimburse the other Party but only to the extent of the amounts actually expended by such Party in undertaking the Stock Remedial Measures. In the event the Stock Environmental Remediation Escrow is not sufficient to pay the costs of any incomplete Stock Remedial Measures, Section 5.20 and this Section 8.7 shall be deemed to have been Breached by Sellers and Purchaser shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the terms of Article X. The Stock Environmental Remediation Escrow shall be distributed to pay costs and expenses incurred in performing Stock Remedial Measures. Distributions from the Stock Environmental Remediation Escrow will be considered payments made and amounts expended by Sellers.

(e) Except to the extent set forth in Section 5.20, this Section 8.7 and Section 10.2, Sellers shall have no other obligation to Purchaser, and Purchaser hereby releases and discharges Sellers, for any Losses whether arising in law or equity, known or unknown, or arising before or after the Closing, in connection with or relating to the environment at, on, under or near the Locations and the Previous Locations, including but not limited to any such matters relating to the Fuel Equipment or releases of petroleum products or Hazardous Substances.

(f) For purposes of clarity, after Closing, if Purchaser or Company excavates or removes any soil on or from the Locations other than in connection with taking Stock Remedial Measures set forth on Schedule 8.7(a), as may be amended pursuant to Section 7.4, or as contemplated by Schedule 8.7(d), Purchaser shall be responsible for all costs and expenses related to such excavation or removal (including, without limitation, all costs of disposal of such soil), except to the extent that such excavation or removal is a result of the existence of a Breach of Section 5.20 or this Section 8.7 by Sellers, in which event Purchaser shall be indemnified for such costs and expenses in accordance with the terms of Article X of this Agreement.

8.8. Covenant Not to Compete. For a period of four (4) years after the Closing Date, none of the Restricted Parties will engage directly or indirectly in the retail petroleum or convenience store business within the states of Minnesota, Michigan, South Dakota, or Wisconsin (a “Competitive Business”), by acting as an officer, director, partner, consultant, lender, guarantor or employee of, or through any equity ownership in, any Person so engaged; provided, however, that any Restricted Party who beneficially owns less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of any publicly traded corporation shall not be deemed to engage solely by reason thereof in any of its businesses. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 8.8 is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. The Restricted Parties acknowledge and agree that the restrictions set forth in this Section 8.8 are reasonable in time and scope, that their agreement in this Section 8.8 is a material inducement to Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, that conduct in violation of this Section 8.8 would be a substantial detriment to Purchaser and Company, and that Purchaser and Company shall be entitled to seek equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction without the requirement of the posting of any bond or surety or the proof of any actual damages. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 8.8 shall prohibit or restrict the ability of the Restricted Parties to engage in the activities described on Schedule 8.8.

12.2. Certain Tax Matters. The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between Purchaser and Company, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, for certain tax matters following the Closing.

(a) Tax Indemnification. The Sellers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify Company, Purchaser, Purchased Subsidiary and their respective Affiliates and hold each of them harmless from and against, any Losses attributable to (i) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Company and Purchased Subsidiary for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and the portion through the end of the Closing Date for any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Period”), (ii) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company (or any predecessor thereof) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or non-U.S. law or regulation, (iii) any and all Taxes of any Person (other than the Company) imposed on the Company as a transferee or successor, by Contract or pursuant to any Law, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing, and (iv) all Taxes imposed on the Company as a result of an election made by the Company under Section 108(i) of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification provided for pursuant to this Section 12.2(a) shall not (i) be subject to the Deductible, the Cap or any other limitations set forth in Section 10.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement or (ii) include any specific amounts for Taxes to the extent that such amounts were included in Current Liabilities.

(b) Tax Returns. Sellers (at their cost and expense) shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns for the Company for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date which are filed after the Closing Date in a timely manner. Sellers will continue to follow the historic tax accounting methods and practices of the Company with respect to all such Tax Returns, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law (unless such change is required as a result of Purchaser’s actions or elections). Sellers shall permit Purchaser to review and comment on each such income Tax Return and other material Tax Return described in the preceding sentence prior to filing. Sellers shall make changes, reasonably requested by the Purchaser, to such Tax Returns to the extent such changes are consistent with the Company’s past Tax practice and permitted by applicable Law. Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser, at least three (3) business days prior to the date on which such Taxes are required to be paid, an amount of Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns, less the amount of Taxes relating to such Tax Returns that were included in Current Liabilities. In the event of a dispute between the Parties concerning the amount of Taxes due by Sellers, the dispute resolution mechanism described in Section 2.2(b) shall be the method by which the Parties resolve such dispute, except that the Independent Auditor shall be an accounting firm with recognized tax expertise that is jointly chosen by Purchaser and Sellers.

(c) Straddle Periods. Purchaser (at its cost and expense) shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, when due any Tax Returns of the Company for Tax periods which begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date. Purchaser will continue to follow the historic tax accounting methods and practices of the Company with respect to all such Tax Returns, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law (unless such change is required as a result of Purchaser’s actions or elections). Purchaser shall permit Sellers to review and comment on each material Tax Return described in the preceding sentence prior to filing. Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser, at least three (3) business days prior to the date on which such Taxes are required to be paid, that portion of the Taxes which relates to the portion of such taxable period of the Company ending on the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Straddle Period Taxes”) less the amount of Taxes relating to such Tax Returns that were included in Current Liabilities. For purposes of this Section 12.2, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to sales, income, payroll, payments or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period, and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to sales, income, payroll, payments or receipts be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date; provided, however, that property Taxes shall be apportioned pursuant to Section 4.5.

(d) Audits. Purchaser shall control the defense of any audits thereof or other Proceedings relating to any Tax Return of the Company. Sellers, at their own expense, shall be permitted to participate in such audit or other Proceeding with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Purchaser shall not enter into any settlement with respect to any audit or other Proceeding with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period without the consent of Sellers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). The provisions of Section 12.2 (a) and this Section 12.2(d) shall apply (and not the provisions of Section 10.3 and Section 10.4), in the event of any dispute with or audit by, a tax authority (federal, state, local or otherwise) with respect Tax Returns described in this Section 12.2. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with any such audit, except that responsibility for any additional resulting Taxes shall be allocated between the Parties as elsewhere provided in this Agreement (including Section 12.2(a)).

(e) Amendments of Tax Returns. Except as otherwise required under applicable Tax Law, permitted in this Section 12.2 or in settlement of a Tax Proceeding, Purchaser shall not file, nor cause to be filed, any amended Tax Return relating to a period prior to the Closing Date or any amended Tax Return for any Tax period ending before the Closing Date and filed before the Closing Date without the written consent of Sellers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(f) Cooperation on Tax Matters. Sellers and Purchaser shall (i) each provide the other, and Purchaser shall cause Company to provide Sellers with such assistance as may reasonably be requested by any of them or their professional advisors in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return or the audit or other examination by any taxing authority, or judicial or administrative proceedings, relating to liability for Taxes for which Sellers may possibly be responsible under this Agreement, (ii) each retain and provide the other, and

Purchaser shall cause Company to retain and provide Sellers, with any records or other information in the possession of such Party or its professional advisors or other representative(s) which may be relevant to such Tax Return, audit or examination, proceeding or determination, and (iii) each provide the other with any final determination of any such audit or examination, proceeding or determination that affects any amount required to be shown on any Tax Return of Company for any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall retain, and shall cause Company to retain, and Sellers shall retain until the applicable statutes of limitations (including any extensions) have expired, copies of all Tax Returns, supporting work schedules and other records or information (to the extent such items are the possession of such Party or its professional advisors or other representative(s)) which may be relevant to such Tax Returns for all tax periods or portions thereof ending on, before or including the Closing Date and shall not destroy or otherwise dispose of any such records without first providing the other Party with a reasonable opportunity to review and copy the same.

12.3. Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees including, without limitation, any interest, penalties or additions thereto (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement and any other similar Tax that may be imposed, shall be paid half by Purchaser and half by Sellers when due, and Sellers will file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable Tax Law, the Purchaser will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. All Transfer Taxes relating to any transfer of Excluded Assets, any transfer of Excluded Subsidiaries, and any sale to SuperAmerica (whenever occurring) as contemplated by Section 8.12 hereof shall be paid by Sellers or another third party, but in no event by Purchaser. The Parties shall take any reasonable action that may be available to reduce or eliminate any Transfer Taxes.

12.4. Title Costs. The costs of the Title Commitments shall be paid half by Purchaser and half by Sellers. The costs of recording any documents to put title to the Real Property in the name of Sellers or to discharge any Liens shall be paid by Sellers.

14.7. Obligations of Parties; Successors and Assigns.

(a) Subject to following provisions, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. If more than one person or entity is named as Purchaser, the term “Purchaser” shall refer to each person or entity so named and any one or more of them in any combination, and the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and liabilities of Purchaser herein shall constitute their joint and several representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and liabilities.

(b) Without the prior written consent of Sellers and in Sellers’ sole discretion, Purchaser shall not, directly or indirectly, assign this Agreement or any of its rights hereunder. Any attempted assignment in violation hereof shall, at the election of Sellers, be of no force or effect and shall constitute a default by Purchaser.

(c) Without the prior written consent of Purchaser and in Purchaser’s sole discretion, Sellers shall not, directly or indirectly, assign this Agreement or any of its rights hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may assign this Agreement to any Affiliate provided that such an assignment will not relieve Purchaser of any liabilities or obligations hereunder and Purchaser must remain jointly and severally liable with its assignee for all its liabilities and obligations hereunder. Any attempted assignment in violation hereof shall, at the election of Purchaser, be of no force or effect and shall constitute a default by Sellers.

(d) The obligations of Sellers under this Agreement shall be joint and several.

14.8. Waiver. The excuse or waiver of the performance by a Party of any obligation of the other Party under this Agreement shall only be effective if evidenced by a written statement signed by the Party so excusing or waiving. No delay in exercising any right or remedy shall constitute a waiver thereof, and no waiver by Sellers or Purchaser of the Breach of any covenant of this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any preceding or succeeding Breach of the same or any other covenant or condition of this Agreement.

14.9. Counterparts.

The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile or attachment of a PDF file to e-mail shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the Parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the Parties transmitted by facsimile or attachment of a PDF file to e-mail shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

14.10. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of a judicial or administrative proceeding or action by one Party against the other Party with respect to the interpretation of, enforcement of, or any action under this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs and expenses including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, whether at the investigative, pretrial, trial or appellate level. The prevailing Party shall be determined by the court based upon an assessment of which Party’s major arguments or position prevailed.

14.11. Descriptive Headings; Word Meaning. The descriptive headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provisions of this Agreement. Words such as “herein,” “hereinafter,” “hereof” and “hereunder” when used in reference to this Agreement, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear, unless the context otherwise requires. The singular shall include the plural and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter, and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The word “including” shall not be restrictive and shall be interpreted as if followed by the words “without limitation.” Each exhibit referenced herein shall be deemed part of this Agreement and incorporated herein wherever any reference is made thereto. Unless otherwise defined therein, capitalized terms used in the exhibits to this Agreement shall have the meanings given to such terms respectively in the body of this Agreement. Each accounting term not defined herein will have the meaning given to it under GAAP. Pronouns in masculine, feminine or neuter genders shall be construed to state and include any other gender, and words, terms and titles (including terms defined herein) in the singular form shall be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires.

14.12. Time of the Essence. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE WITH RESPECT TO EACH PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser and Sellers hereby confirm their intention and agreement that time shall be of the essence with respect to each and every provision of this Agreement, notwithstanding any subsequent modification or extension of any date or time period that is provided for under this Agreement. The agreement of Purchaser and Sellers that time is of the essence with respect to each and every provision of this Agreement shall not be waived or modified by any conduct of the Parties, and the agreement of Purchaser and Sellers that time is of the essence with respect to each and every provision of this Agreement may only be modified or waived by the express written agreement of Purchaser and Sellers that time shall not be of the essence with respect to a particular date or time period, or any modification or extension thereof, which is provided under this Agreement.

14.13. Construction of Contract. This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one Party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared primarily by counsel for one of the Parties, it being recognized that both Purchaser and Sellers have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this Agreement.

14.14. Severability. The Parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this Agreement comports with all applicable Laws. If, however, any provision in this Agreement is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable Law or public policy, or if in any other respect such a court declares any such provision to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all Parties hereto that, consistent with and with a view towards preserving the economic and legal arrangements among the Parties hereto as expressed in this Agreement, such provision shall be given force and effect to the fullest possible extent, and that the remainder of this Agreement shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable provision were not contained herein, and that the rights, obligations, and interests of the Parties under the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

14.15. No Implied Contract. Neither Sellers nor Purchaser shall have any obligations in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement unless (a) all the Sellers, on the one hand each acting in its sole discretion, and Purchaser, on the other hand acting in its sole discretion, elect to execute and deliver this Agreement to the other Party and (b) Team Investments and Purchaser, each acting in its sole discretion, elect to execute and deliver the Purchase and Sale Agreement to the other. No correspondence, course of dealing, or submission of drafts or final versions of this Agreement between Sellers and Purchaser shall be deemed to create any binding obligations in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, and no contract or obligation on the part of Sellers or Purchaser shall arise unless and until a counterpart of this Agreement is fully executed by all the Sellers and Purchaser. Once so executed and delivered by each of Sellers and Purchaser, this Agreement shall be binding upon them.

14.16. Notices. All notices and consents to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (a) (i) delivered personally, (ii) mailed (postage prepaid) by certified mail (in this case, notice to be deemed given three days after mailing), or (iii) delivered by a recognized commercial courier to the Party entitled thereto at the address set forth below or such other address as such Party shall have designated by five days’ notice to the other; and (b) delivered by email, as set forth below:
