2. Purchase of Gathered Crude.

     2.1 Prior to and through the Final Fill Date, Coffeyville shall arrange to transport Gathered Crude to the Storage Tanks until all of such tanks have been filled to their working capacities.

     2.2 No later than three Business Days prior to the date that Coffeyville (in its reasonable judgment) expects to be the Fill Date for a particular Storage Tank, Coffeyville shall notify Aron in writing (or via email) of such expected Fill Date and the Storage Tank to which it relates (each, a “Fill Notice”). If, for any reason, Coffeyville changes its expectation regarding the Fill Date for any Storage Tank, it shall immediately notify Aron in writing (or via email) of such changed expectation.

     2.3 On the Fill Date for a Storage Tank, pursuant to the instructions of the Parties, the Independent Inspector shall, promptly after such Storage Tank has been filled to the level at which Coffeyville desires to cease any further additions of Gathered Crude thereto, gauge and seal such Storage Tank. The Independent Inspector shall provide to Aron and Coffeyville a certified report showing the total net quantity of Gathered Crude held in such Storage Tank at the time it was sealed on that Fill Date (the “Stored Quantity”).

     2.4 With respect to each Storage Tank for which a Fill Notice has been delivered to Aron, Coffeyville and Aron shall endeavor, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, to agree upon the following terms with respect to the Stored Quantity relating to that Storage Tank: (i) the date on which Aron shall purchase such Stored Quantity from Coffeyville under a Forward Purchase Contract, which date shall be a Business Day occurring no earlier than the later of the Fill Date for that Storage Tank or three days after the date on which these terms are agreed to (the “Purchase Date”), (ii) the date on which Coffeyville shall purchase such Stored Quantity from Aron under a Forward Sale Contract, which date shall be a Business Day occurring no earlier than three days after such Purchase Date (the “Sale Date”) and (iii) the Supplemental Amount for that Stored Quantity and the Party to which such Supplemental Amount is due. If the Parties agree on such terms, then on the date of such agreement, Coffeyville and Aron shall automatically, and without any further action by either party, be deemed to have entered into a forward contract (“Forward Purchase Contract”) under which Coffeyville agrees to sell to Aron, and Aron agrees to buy from Coffeyville, the Stored Quantity on the agreed Purchase Date, at a price per Barrel equal to the Purchase Price. If the Parties are unable to agree on such terms for any Stored Quantity, then no Forward Purchase Contract or Forward Sale Contract shall result with respect to that Stored Quantity, the applicable Storage Tank may be unsealed by Coffeyville and the Parties shall have no obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Storage Tank or its Stored Quantity.

     2.5 For purposes hereof, the “Supplemental Amount” shall mean, for any Stored Quantity, an amount per Barrel mutually agreed to by the Parties that reflects (i) Aron’s cost of funds for that Stored Quantity’s Aggregate Purchase Price over its Expected Storage Period, (ii) Coffeyville’s cost of storage for that Stored Quantity over its Expected Storage Period and (iii) depending upon the extent to which the forward crude oil market is then in contango or backwardation and taking account of such funding and storage costs, an additional amount representing either a portion of such contango being allocated to Coffeyville or a transaction fee being paid to Aron. In no event shall the manner in which any Supplemental Amount is determined obligate Aron to pay or reimburse any of the charges referred to in Section 3.1 below, it being agreed that the reference in clause (ii) above to cost of storage relates only to the factors to be taken into account in establishing a Supplemental Amount.

     2.6 If a Forward Purchase Contract is entered into pursuant to Section 2.4 above, Aron shall prepare and provide to Coffeyville via facsimile or electronic transmission a written confirmation for the Forward Purchase Contract in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto. Notwithstanding any failure of Aron to provide such confirmation, the Parties shall be bound by the terms of such Forward Purchase Contract, which shall be a legally binding contract between the Parties from the moment it is deemed entered into pursuant to Section 2.4 above.

     2.7 Title to the Stored Quantity subject to a Forward Purchase Contract shall pass from Coffeyville to Aron, by in-tank title transfer, at the relevant Storage Tank on the Purchase Date for that Forward Purchase Contract; provided that if the Fill Date for such Storage Tank occurs on that Purchase Date, then title shall transfer at the time such Storage Tank is gauged and sealed by an independent inspector.

     2.8 The Aggregate Purchase Price to be paid under each Forward Purchase Contract shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the Purchase Date for that Forward Purchase Contract.

3. Storage of Gathered Crude.

     3.1 For each Storage Tank, Aron shall have the exclusive right to store crude oil in such Storage Tank for the applicable Storage Period.

During the Storage Period, neither Coffeyville nor any of its affiliates shall (and Coffeyville shall not permit any of its affiliates or any other Person to) use the relevant Stored Quantity for any purpose.

     3.5 Coffeyville agrees that all tankage shall be in sound condition and capable of storing the Stored Quantity without contaminating such Gathered Crude. Coffeyville will maintain and operate the tankage in good working order and repair and serviceable condition in accordance with generally accepted industry standards and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Coffeyville shall have sole responsibility for all operations at each of the Storage Tanks (including all related pipelines and equipment of Coffeyville and its Affiliates) and for performing all storage and throughput services at or related to the Storage Tanks. Without limiting the foregoing, Coffeyville shall be responsible for all maintenance and repairs, labor, utilities, pumps, piping, tank conditions, heat and other activities on, at or under the Storage Tanks. All movements, receipts and deliveries of Gathered Crude or other materials to, at or from any Storage Tank shall be solely the responsibility of Coffeyville. Aron does not,

directly or indirectly, have any responsibility for the operation or maintenance of the Storage Tanks or any movements of Gathered Crude or other materials to, at or from the Storage Tanks.

     3.6 Aron and its representatives may inspect the Storage Tanks and any other related pipelines and equipment from time to time during the term of this Agreement.

     3.8 Prior to the Fill Date for any Storage Tank, Coffeyville shall (i) arrange to post at that Storage Tank such signage as Aron shall reasonably request stating that Aron is the owner of all materials held in such Storage Tank and (ii) take all actions necessary to maintain such signage in place for the Storage Period.

4. Sale of Gathered Crude.

     4.1 Upon agreeing to the terms referred to in Section 2.4 above with respect to any Stored Quantity, Coffeyville and Aron shall automatically, and without any further action by either party, be deemed to have entered into a separate forward contract (each, a “Forward Sale Contract”) with respect to that Stored Quantity and its related Storage Tank under which Aron agrees to sell to Coffeyville, and Coffeyville agrees to buy from Aron, that Stored Quantity on the applicable Sale Date, at a price per Barrel equal to the applicable Sale Price; provided that such Forward Sale Contract shall not become effective unless the purchase and sale of that Stored Quantity under the Forward Purchase Contract relating to that Stored Quantity shall have occurred. In no event, unless other expressly agreed by Aron, shall the Sale Date for any Forward Sale Contract be later than the Final Sale Date.

     4.2 If a Forward Sale Contract is entered into pursuant to Section 4.1 above, Aron shall prepare and provide to Coffeyville via facsimile or electronic transmission a confirmation for that Forward Sale Contract in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto. Notwithstanding any failure of Aron to provide such confirmation, the Parties shall be bound by the terms of such Forward Sale Contract, which shall be a legally binding contact between the Parties from the moment it is deemed entered into pursuant to Section 4.1 above.

     4.3 For each Forward Sale Contract, Coffeyville shall pay to Aron the Aggregate Sale Price on the Sale Date for that Forward Sale Contract.

     4.4 Aron’s sole obligation under each Forward Sale Contract shall be to transfer to Coffeyville title to whatever portion of the Stored Quantity remains in the relevant Storage Tank at the time of such transfer. To the extent that the volume of material held in a Storage Tank at the time of transfer is less than the Stored Quantity originally stored therein, such loss shall be solely for the account of Coffeyville, regardless of the reason for such loss (collectively, Storage Losses”). EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTY OF TITLE WITH RESPECT TO CRUDE OIL TRANSFERRED UNDER SECTION 4.6 BELOW, ARON MAKES NO WARRANTY, CONDITION OR OTHER REPRESENTATION, WRITTEN OR ORAL, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS

OR SUITABILITY OF THE CRUDE OIL FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE. FURTHER, ARON MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION THAT THE CRUDE OIL CONFORMS TO ANY PARTICULAR SPECIFICATIONS.

     4.5 Coffeyville’s obligation to pay the Aggregate Sale Price shall not be reduced by any Storage Losses, it being expressly acknowledged that such payment amount shall be calculated based on the original Stored Quantity for the relevant Storage Tank.

     4.6 Title to any Gathered Crude held in the Storage Tank related to a Forward Sale Contract shall pass from Aron to Coffeyville, by in-tank title transfer, at the relevant Storage Tank immediately after Aron receives payment of the amount due to it under Section 4.3 with respect to that Forward Sale Contract.

5. Adjustments.

     5.1 If Coffeyville desires to adjust the Sale Date for any Forward Sale Contract, it shall promptly notify Aron thereof and shall specify the new date on which it proposes such Sale Date shall occur.

     5.2 A new Sale Date for any Forward Sale Contract shall take effect only upon the agreement of the Parties thereto, provided that such agreement may be conditioned upon such other modification to the terms of such Forward Sale Contract as either Party may require, including modification to the Supplemental Amount and the party to which such Supplemental Amount is due.

          (b) All records or documents provided by either Party to the other shall, to the best knowledge of such Party, accurately and completely reflect the facts about the activities and transactions to which they relate. Each Party shall promptly notify the other if at any time such Party has reason to believe that any records or documents previously provided to the other Party no longer are accurate or complete.

          (c) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the transactions subject to this Agreement constitute commercial transactions under which the relevant quantities of Gathered Crude are being purchased and sold and title thereto is being transferred.

     10.3 Acknowledgement by Coffeyville. Coffeyville acknowledges and agrees that (1) Aron is a merchant of crude oil and may, from time to time, be dealing with prospective counterparties, or pursuing trading or hedging strategies, in connection with aspects of Aron’s business which are unrelated hereto and that such dealings and such trading or hedging strategies may be different from or opposite to those being pursued by or for Coffeyville, (2) Aron has no fiduciary or trust obligations of any nature with respect to Coffeyville or the Refinery, (3) Aron may enter into transactions and purchase oil for its own account or the account of others at prices more favorable than those being paid to or by Coffeyville hereunder and (4) nothing herein shall be construed to prevent Aron, or any of its partners, officers, employees or Affiliates, in any way from purchasing, selling or otherwise trading in crude oil or any other commodity for its or their own account or for the account of others, whether prior to, simultaneously with or subsequent to any transaction under this Agreement.

     10.4 Adequate Assurances.

          (a) Aron may, in its sole discretion and upon written notice to Coffeyville, require that Coffeyville provide it with satisfactory security for or adequate assurance (“Adequate Assurance”) of Coffeyville’s performance within 48 hours of Aron giving such notice if:

                    (i) Aron determines that reasonable grounds for insecurity exist with respect to Coffeyville’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder; or

                    (ii) A Coffeyville payment default or event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would become a payment default hereunder, has occurred.

In the event Aron gives such a notice pursuant to clause (i) above, such notice shall include a summary of the information upon which Aron has based its determination that such reasonable grounds for insecurity exist. Such summary shall be in sufficient detail to reasonably communicate Aron’s grounds that insecurity exists.

          (b) Any requirement for Adequate Assurance shall be satisfied only by Coffeyville’s delivery of the types of Eligible Forms of Assurance (as defined below) referred to in clauses (i) and/or (ii) of the definition thereof (it being agreed that the determination as to whether to provide either the type referred to in clause (i) or the type referred to in clause (ii) shall be made by Coffeyville in its sole discretion) or such other types of Eligible Forms of Assurance as Aron shall deem acceptable in its sole discretion. “Eligible Forms of Assurance” shall consist of (i) an irrevocable standby or documentary letter of credit, for a duration and in an amount sufficient to cover a value up to the Current Exposure, including reasonable contingencies for the designated time period, in a format reasonably satisfactory to Aron and issued or confirmed by a bank reasonably acceptable to Aron, (ii) a prepayment to cover a value up to the Current Exposure; (iii) a surety instrument for a duration and in an amount sufficient to cover a value up to the Current Exposure, in a format reasonably satisfactory to Aron and issued by a financial institution or insurance company reasonably acceptable to Aron; or (iv) a security interest in the assets of Coffeyville to the extent permitted by the terms of the Specified Indebtedness and sufficient, in the reasonable judgment of the Aron, to secure the Current Exposure. To continue to satisfy any requirement for Adequate Assurance, the amount of any Eligible Form of Assurance deemed acceptable by Aron as Adequate Assurance shall be adjusted from time to time so that it is sufficient to cover the Current Exposure as it fluctuates.

          (c) Without prejudice to any other legal remedies available to Aron and without Aron incurring any Liabilities (whether to Coffeyville or to a third party), Aron may, at its sole discretion, take any or all of the following actions if Coffeyville fails to give Adequate Assurance as required pursuant to this Section: (i) withhold or suspend its obligations, including payment obligations, under this Agreement, (ii) proceed against Coffeyville for damages occasioned by Coffeyville’s failure to perform, or (iii) exercise its termination rights under Article 11.

          (d) All bank charges relating to any letter of credit and any fees, commissions, costs and expenses incurred with respect to furnishing security are for Coffeyville’s account.

          (e) Coffeyville agrees, at any time and from time to time upon the request of Aron, to execute, deliver and acknowledge, or cause to execute, deliver and acknowledge, such further documents and instruments and do such other acts and things as Aron may reasonably request in order to fully effect the purposes of this Agreement.

11. Default and Remedies.

     11.1 Events of Default. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

          (a) Either Party fails to make payment when due under this Agreement within one (1) Business Day after a written demand therefor; or

          (b) Other than a default described in Sections 11.1 (a) and (c), either Party fails to perform any material obligation or covenant to the other under this Agreement, which is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the other Party (in its sole discretion) within five (5) Business Days after the date that such Party receives written notice that such obligation or covenant has not been performed; or

          (c) Either Party breaches any material representation or material warranty made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated by the Party, or any warranty or representation proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated under this Agreement; provided, however, that if such breach is curable, such breach is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the other Party within ten (10) Business Days after the date that such Party receives notice that corrective action is needed; or

          (d) Either Party becomes Bankrupt; or

          (e) Either Party or any of its Designated Affiliates (1) defaults under a Specified Transaction and, after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period, there occurs a liquidation of, an acceleration of obligations under, or any early termination of, that Specified Transaction, (2) defaults, after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period, in making any payment or delivery due on the last payment, delivery or exchange date of, or any payment on early termination of, a Specified Transaction (or such default continues for at least three Business Days if there is no applicable notice requirement or grace period) or (3) disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or rejects, in whole or in part, a Specified Transaction (or such action is taken by any person or entity appointed or empowered to operate it or act on its behalf); or

          (f) Coffeyville or any of its Affiliates sells, leases, subleases, transfers or otherwise disposes of, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, all or a material portion of the assets of the Refinery; or

          (g) Coffeyville or any of its Affiliates (i) consolidates or amalgamates with, merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to, another entity (including an Affiliate) or any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer is consummated, and (ii) the successor entity resulting from any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger or the Person that otherwise acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Coffeyville or any of its Affiliates (A) does not assume, in a manner satisfactory to Aron, all of Coffeyville’s obligations hereunder, including under any Sale Contract or any Spread Adjustment, or (B) has an “issuer credit” rating below BB- by Standard and Poor’s Ratings Group or a “family credit” rating below B1 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (or an equivalent successor rating classification); or

          (h) Coffeyville fails to provide Adequate Assurance in accordance with Section 10.4; or

          (i) There shall occur either (A) a default, event of default or other similar condition or event (however described) in respect of Coffeyville or any of its Affiliates under one or more agreements or instruments relating to Specified Indebtedness in an aggregate amount of not less than $20,000,000 which has resulted in such Specified Indebtedness becoming due and payable under such agreements and instruments before it would have otherwise been due and payable or (B) a default by Coffeyville or any of its Affiliates (individually or collectively) in making one or more payments on the due date thereof in an aggregate amount of not less than $10,000,000 under such agreements or instruments (after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period), provided that a default under clause (B) above shall not constitute an Event of Default if (x) the default was caused solely by error or omission of an administrative or operational nature; (y) funds were available to enable the party to make the payment when due; and (z) the payment is made within two Business Days of such party’s receipt of written notice of its failure to pay.

Coffeyville shall be the Defaulting Party upon the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (f), (g), (h) and (i) above.

     11.2 Remedies Upon Event of Default.

          (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to either Party (referred to as the “Defaulting Party”), the other Party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) shall have the right immediately and at any time(s) thereafter to terminate this Agreement and to liquidate and terminate any or all Forward Purchase Contracts and any or all Forward Sale Contracts then outstanding between the Parties. A Settlement Amount (as defined below) shall be calculated in a commercially reasonable manner for each such liquidated and terminated Forward Purchase Contract or Forward Sale Contract and be payable by one Party to the other. “Settlement Amount” shall mean, with respect to any Forward Purchase Contract or any Forward Sale Contract and the Non-Defaulting Party, the losses and costs (or gains) expressed in U.S. Dollars, which such Party incurs as a result of the liquidation, including losses and costs (or gains) based upon the then current replacement value of such Forward Purchase Contract or Forward Sale Contract together with, at the Non-Defaulting Party’s election but without duplication or limitation, all reasonable losses and costs which such Party incurs as a result of maintaining, terminating, obtaining or re-establishing any hedge or related trading positions, which, for purposes of such determination, shall include (x) the losses and costs (or gains) incurred as a result of the liquidation and termination of all hedging positions executed by Aron in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and (y) the losses and costs incurred by Aron in disposing of any Stored Quantities. The Settlement Amount shall be due to or from the Non-Defaulting Party as appropriate. The Non-Defaulting Party shall determine the Settlement Amount of any Forward Purchase Contract or any Forward Sale Contract as of the date on which such termination occurs by reference to such futures, forward, swap and options markets as it shall select in its reasonable judgment. In calculating a Settlement Amount, the Non-Defaulting Party shall discount to present value (in any commercially reasonable manner based on London interbank rates for the applicable period and currency) any amount which would be due at a later date and shall add interest (at a rate determined in the same manner) to any amount due prior to the date of the calculation.

          (b) Without limiting any other rights or remedies hereunder, if an Event of Default occurs and Aron is the Non-Defaulting Party, Aron may, in its discretion, (i) withhold or suspend its obligations, including any of its delivery or payment obligations, under this Agreement, (ii) reclaim and repossess any and all of the Gathered Crude held at the Storage Tanks, and (iii) otherwise arrange for the disposition of any such Gathered Crude Oil in such manner as it elects.

          (c) The Non-Defaulting Party shall set off (i) all such Settlement Amounts that are due to the Defaulting Party, plus any performance security (including margin) then held by the Non-Defaulting Party, plus (at the Non-Defaulting Party’s election) any or all other amounts due to the Defaulting Party hereunder (including without limitation under Section 5 above), against (ii) all such Settlement Amounts that are due to the Non-Defaulting Party, plus any performance security (including margin) then held by the Defaulting Party, plus (at the Non-Defaulting Party’s election) any or all other amounts due to the Non-Defaulting Party hereunder (including without limitation under Section 5 above), so that all such amounts shall be netted to a single liquidated amount payable by one Party to the other (the “Liquidated Amount”). The Party with the payment obligation shall pay the Liquidated Amount to the other Party within one Business Day of the liquidation.

          (d) 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 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.

          (e) The Non-Defaulting Party’s rights under this Section shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or exclusion of, any other rights which the Non-Defaulting Party may have (whether by agreement, operation of law or otherwise), including without limitation any rights of recoupment, setoff, combination of accounts, as a secured party or under any other credit support. The Defaulting Party shall indemnify and hold the Non-Defaulting Party harmless from all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred in the exercise of any remedies hereunder.

          (f) If an Event of Default occurs, the Non-Defaulting Party may, without limitation on its rights under this Section, set off amounts which the Defaulting Party owes to it against any amounts which it owes to the Defaulting Party (whether hereunder, under the Forward Purchase Contract, a Forward Sale Contract or otherwise and whether or not then due).

12. Indemnification.

     12.1 To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law and except as specified otherwise elsewhere in this Agreement, Coffeyville shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Aron, its Affiliates, and their directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and contractors for and against any Liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of (i) any breach by Coffeyville of any covenant or agreement contained herein or made in connection herewith or any representation or warranty of Coffeyville made herein or in connection herewith proving to be false or misleading, (ii) Coffeyville’s handling, storage, transportation or disposal of any Gathered Crude or the products thereof, (iii) Coffeyville’s negligence or willful misconduct, (iv)

any failure by Coffeyville to comply with or observe any Applicable Law, or (v) injury, disease, or death of any person or damage to or loss of any property, fine or penalty, any of which is caused by Coffeyville or its employees, representatives, agents or contractors in the exercise of any of the rights granted hereunder, except to the extent that such injury, disease, death, or damage to or loss of property was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Aron, its Affiliates or any of their respective employees, representatives, agents or contractors.

     12.2 To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law and except as specified otherwise elsewhere in this Agreement, Aron shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Coffeyville, its Affiliates, and their directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and contractors for and against any Liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of (i) any breach by Aron of any covenant or agreement contained herein or made in connection herewith or any representation or warranty of Aron made herein or in connection herewith proving to be false or misleading, (ii) Aron’s negligence or willful misconduct, or (iii) any failure by Aron to comply with or observe any Applicable Law.

     12.3 The Parties’ obligations to defend, indemnify, and hold each other harmless under the terms of this Agreement 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 this Agreement.

     12.4 Each Party agrees to notify each other as soon as practicable after receiving notice of any claim or suit brought against it within the indemnities of this Agreement, 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume responsibility for and control of any judicial or administrative proceeding if such proceeding involves an Event of Default by the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement which shall have occurred and be continuing.

13. Limitation on Damages. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Parties’ liability for damages is limited to direct, actual damages only (which include any amounts determined under Section 11) and neither Party shall be liable for specific performance, lost profits or other business interruption damages, or special, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or indirect damages, in tort, contract or otherwise, of any kind, arising out of or in any way connected with the performance, the suspension of performance, the failure to perform, or the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that, such limitation shall not apply with respect to (i) any third party claim for which indemnification is available under this Agreement or (ii) any breach of Article 15. Each Party acknowledges the duty to mitigate damages hereunder.

14. Audit and Inspection. During the term of this Agreement each Party and its duly authorized representatives, upon reasonable notice and during normal working hours, shall have access to the accounting records and other documents maintained by the other Party, or any of

the other Party’s contractors and agents, which relate to this Agreement; provided, that, neither this Section nor Section 5 shall entitle Coffeyville to have access to any records concerning any hedges or offsetting transactions or other trading positions or pricing information that may have been entered into with other parties or utilized in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The right to inspect or audit such records shall survive termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years following the last Sale Date to occur hereunder. Each Party shall preserve, and shall cause all contractors or agents to preserve, all of the aforesaid documents for a period of at least two (2) years from such last Sale Date.

15. Confidentiality.

     15.1 The Parties agree that the specific terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the drafts of this Agreement exchanged by the Parties and any information exchanged between the Parties, including calculations of any fees or other amounts paid by Coffeyville to Aron under this Agreement and all information received by Aron from Coffeyville relating to the costs of operation, operating conditions, and other commercial information of Coffeyville not made available to the public, are confidential and shall not be disclosed to any third party, except (i) as may be required by court order or Applicable Laws or as requested by a Governmental Authority, (ii) to such Party’s or its Affiliates’ employees, directors, shareholders, auditors, consultants, banks, lenders, financial advisors and legal advisors, or (iii) to such Party’ insurance providers, solely for the purpose of procuring insurance coverage or confirming the extent of existing insurance coverage; provided, that, prior to any disclosure permitted by this clause (iii), such insurance providers shall have agreed in writing to keep confidential any information or document subject to this Section. The confidentiality obligations under this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement for a period of two years following the Termination Date. Coffeyville’s Affiliates shall include GS Capital Partners V Fund and Kelso & Company solely for the purposes of this Article 15.

     15.2 In the case of disclosure covered by clause (i) of Section 15.1, to the extent practicable and legally permissible, the disclosing Party shall notify the other Party in writing of any proceeding of which it is aware which may result in disclosure, and use reasonable efforts to prevent or limit such disclosure. The Party seeking to prevent or limit such disclosure shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by both Parties in connection therewith. The Parties shall be entitled to all remedies available at law, or in equity, to enforce or seek relief in connection with the confidentiality obligations contained herein.

     15.3 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties (and their respective employees, representatives or other agents) are authorized to disclose to any person the U.S. federal and state income tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions and other tax analyses) that are provided to the Parties relating to that treatment and structure, without the Parties imposing any limitation of any kind. However, any information relating to the tax treatment and tax structure shall remain confidential (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent necessary to enable any person to comply with securities laws. For this purpose, “tax structure” is limited to any facts that may be relevant to that treatment.

16. Governing Law.

     16.1 This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced under the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles that would require the application of the laws of another state.

     16.2 Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction situated in the City of New York, (without recourse to arbitration unless both Parties agree in writing), and to service of process by certified mail, delivered to the Party at the address indicated in Article 16. Each Party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection to personal jurisdiction, whether on grounds of venue, residence or domicile.

     16.3 Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any proceedings relating to this agreement.

17. Assignment.

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

     17.2 Coffeyville shall not 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; provided, however, that no such consent shall be required with respect to an assignment by Coffeyville to any Person that succeeds to all or substantially all of the Refinery and assumes Coffeyville’s obligations hereunder whether by contract, operation of law or otherwise if such Person has an “issuer credit” rating above B+ by Standard and Poor’s Ratings Group and a “family credit” rating above B2 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (or an equivalent successor rating classification) or, if such Person is not rated by either of such rating agencies, its creditworthiness (as determined by Aron in its commercially reasonable judgment) is equivalent or superior to that of an entity which has debt ratings that satisfy the foregoing ratings requirement. Aron may, without Coffeyville’s consent, assign and delegate all of Aron’s rights and obligations hereunder to (i) any Affiliate of Aron, provided that 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 its 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 is equal or superior to the creditworthiness of Aron immediately prior to such assignment. Any other assignment by Aron shall require Coffeyville’s consent.

     17.3 Any attempted assignment in violation of this Article 17 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.

     19.1 The failure of a Party hereunder to assert a right or enforce an obligation of the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or obligation. The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of, or Event of Default or Potential Event of Default under, this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other breach of that provision or as a waiver of any breach of another provision of, Event of Default or Potential Event of Default under, this Agreement, whether of a like kind or different nature.

     20.2 Neither Party shall have the right or authority to negotiate, conclude or execute any contract or legal document with any third person; to assume, create, or incur any liability of any kind, express or implied, against or in the name of the other; or to otherwise act as the representative of the other, unless expressly authorized in writing by the other.

21. Miscellaneous.

     21.1 If any Article, Section or provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be null and void, voidable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, then for such period that the same is void or invalid, it shall be deemed to be deleted from this Agreement and the remaining portions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
