6.1                               Withholding.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Issuers hereunder or under any other Note Document shall to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes.  If, however, Applicable Laws require any Tax to be withheld or deducted on any payments by or on account of any obligation of the Issuers hereunder or under any other Note Document, (x) the Issuers shall withhold or deduct such Tax in accordance with such Applicable Laws and timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Applicable Laws, and (y) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Issuers shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including withholding or deductions of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 6.1) the Holder receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

6.2                               Other Taxes.  Without limiting or duplicating the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Issuers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Laws.

6.3                               Indemnification.  The Issuers shall jointly and severally indemnify each Holder, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by such Holder, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Issuers hereunder or under any other Note Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 6.3) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Government Authority..

6.4                               Evidence of Payment.  Upon request by the Holders after any payment of Taxes by the Issuers to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 6, the Issuers shall deliver to the Holder the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Applicable Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Holders.

6.5                               Forms.  A Holder shall, at the time it acquires the Notes and thereafter as reasonably requested by the Issuers, deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable

12

Law or reasonably requested by the Issuers as will enable to the Issuers to determine whether or not such Holder is subject to backup withholding and information reporting.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Holder that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall, at the time it acquires the Notes and thereafter as reasonably requested by the Issuers or upon the expiration, invalidity or obsolescence of any previously delivered form, furnish to the Issuers either:  (i) two (2) accurate and complete originals of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN and a certificate to the effect that the Holder is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not a “10-percent shareholder” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code and is not a controlled foreign corporation described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, or (ii) other applicable U.S. Internal Revenue Service forms to claim an exemption or reduction of U.S. federal withholding Tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder shall not be required to deliver any form or documentation it is not legally entitled to deliver.  In addition, each Holder that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall, at the time it acquires the Notes and thereafter as reasonably requested by the Issuers or upon the expiration, invalidity or obsolescence of any previously delivered form, furnish to the Issuers two (2) complete and accurate originals of IRS Form W-9 or other applicable form certifying that such Holder is exempt from backup withholding.

6.6                               Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to Section 6 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 6.1), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 6.6 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.6, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 6.6 the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This Section 6.6 shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

6.7                               Survival.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Issuers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Issuers contained in this Section 6 shall survive the payment in full of all amounts due hereunder.

13

SECTION 7.                            INDEMNIFICATION OF PURCHASER.

7.1                               Expense Reimbursement.  The Issuers shall pay all of the Purchaser’s fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses arising in connection with the purchase of the Notes and any due diligence investigation performed by the Purchaser and the reasonable fees and expenses of special counsel to the Purchaser and also of, without limitation, any local legal counsel as shall be reasonably necessary in connection with the Purchaser’s purchase of the Notes and the Note Documents; provided that the Issuers’ aggregate payment obligations in respect of fees and expenses of legal counsel of the Purchaser accrued on or prior to the Closing Date shall not exceed $400,000) arising in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration (including in connection with any exchange contemplated in Section 3.10 of the Indenture) of the Note Documents.

7.2                               Indemnification Generally.  The Issuers hereby indemnify and hold harmless all Indemnified Parties from and against all Liabilities.  In addition to the foregoing, the Issuers agree to reimburse each Indemnified Party for all legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or participating in any action or other proceeding relating to any Liabilities (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party to any such action or proceeding).  No Indemnified Party shall be liable to the Issuers or any other Person for damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through internet, electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent that such damages arise as a result of information distributed through the internet, electronic, telecommunications or other information transmissions systems by such Indemnified Party in a manner that is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment to have been grossly negligent or a result of the bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party (to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment).  No Indemnified Party shall be liable to the Issuers or any other Person for any determination made by it pursuant to this Section 7 in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Person (to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment).

7.3                               Contribution.  If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Issuers shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Issuers on the one hand and such Indemnified Party on the other hand but also the relative fault of the Issuers and such Indemnified Party, as well as any relevant equitable considerations.  The rights set forth in this Section 7.3 are in addition to any rights that the Indemnified Parties may have at common law or otherwise.

7.4                               Successors and Assigns.  The Issuers’ indemnity obligations under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability which the Issuers may otherwise have and shall be binding upon any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Issuers.  This Section 7 is for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties, and no other Person may rely hereon.

7.5                               No Consequential Damages.  In no event shall the Issuers have any liability to any Indemnified Party for any consequential or punitive damages, except for any such

14

consequential or punitive damages included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification.

7.6                               Defense.  If any Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Section 7 with respect to any action or proceeding brought by a third party that is also brought against the Issuers, the Issuers shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.  Upon assumption by the Issuers of the defense of any such action or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such action or proceeding and to retain its own counsel, but the Issuers shall not be liable for any legal expenses of other counsel subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof unless (a) the Issuers have agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (b) the Issuers shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party in a timely manner or (c) the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there are actual or potential conflicting interests between the Issuers and the Indemnified Party, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Issuers.  The Issuers shall not consent to the terms of any compromise or settlement of any action defended by the Issuers in accordance with the foregoing without the prior consent of the Indemnified Party (other than any such compromise or settlement exclusively requiring payment of money by the Issuers).

7.7                               Survival.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Issuers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Issuers contained in this Section 7 shall survive the payment in full of all amounts due hereunder.

7.8                               Applicability.  This Section 7 shall not apply to Taxes.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE

Global received from the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), by letters dated November 2, 2011 and March 9, 2012, reporting requirements and testing orders (collectively, the “Requests for Information”) for information under the Clean Air Act. The Requests for Information are part of an EPA investigation to determine whether Global has violated sections of the Clean Air Act at certain of Global’s terminal locations in New England with respect to residual oil and asphalt. Global is complying with the Requests for Information. Global does not believe that a violation has occurred nor does Global believe any adverse determination in connection with such investigation would have a Material Adverse Effect.

In connection with the December 2012 acquisition of six New England gasoline stations from Massachusetts based Mutual Oil Company (“Mutual Oil”), Global assumed certain environmental liabilities, including certain ongoing remediation efforts. Global does not believe that completion of the remediation efforts will result in material costs in excess of the environmental reserve or have a material impact on the Company’s operations.

In connection with the March 2012 acquisition of Alliance Energy LLC (“Alliance”), Global assumed Alliance’s environmental liabilities, including ongoing environmental remediation at certain of the retail stations owned by Alliance and future remediation activities required by applicable federal, state or local law or regulation. Remedial action plans are in place, as may be applicable with the state agencies regulating such ongoing remediation. Global does not believe that completion of the remediation efforts will result in material costs in excess of the environmental reserve or have a material impact on the Company’s operations. See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2012.

In connection with the September 2010 acquisition of the retail gas stations from ExxonMobil, Global assumed certain environmental liabilities, including ongoing environmental remediation at and monitoring activities at certain of the acquired sites and future remediation activities required by applicable federal, state or local law or regulation. Remedial action plans are in place with the applicable state regulatory agencies for the majority of these locations, including plans for soil and groundwater treatment systems at eight sites. Global does not believe that completion of the remediation efforts will result in material costs in excess of the environmental reserve or have a material impact on the Company’s operations. See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2012.

In connection with the June 2010 acquisition of three refined petroleum products terminals in Newburgh, New York, Global assumed certain environmental liabilities, including certain ongoing remediation efforts. Global does not believe that completion of the remediation efforts will result in material costs in excess of the environmental reserve or have a material impact on the Company’s operations. See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2012.

In connection with the November 2007 acquisition of ExxonMobil’s Glenwood Landing and Inwood, New York terminals, Global assumed certain environmental liabilities, including the remediation obligations under remedial action plans submitted by ExxonMobil to and approved

Schedule 2.14-1

by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (“NYDEC”) with respect to both terminals. Global has implemented the remedial action plans.  Global does not believe that completion of the remediation efforts will result in material costs in excess of the environmental reserve or have a material impact on the Company’s operations. See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2012.

In connection with the May 2007 acquisition of ExxonMobil’s Albany and Newburgh, New York and Burlington, Vermont terminals, Global assumed certain environmental liabilities, including the remediation obligations under a proposed remedial action plan submitted by ExxonMobil to NYDEC with respect to the Albany, New York terminal. In June 2008, Global submitted a remedial action work plan to NYDEC, implementing NYDEC’s conditional approval of the remedial action plan submitted by ExxonMobil. Global responded to NYDEC’s requests for additional information and conducted pilot tests for the remediation outlined in the work plan. Based on the results of such pilot tests, Global reduced the environmental reserve during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008. In July 2009, NYDEC approved the remedial action work plan, and Global signed a Stipulation Agreement with NYDEC to govern implementation of the approved plan. The remedial action work has been implemented pursuant to the approved work plan, and the post-remediation stage of operation, monitoring and maintenance has commenced and is ongoing. As a result, Global reduced the environmental reserve during the second quarter ended June 30, 2011. Global does not believe that completion of the post-remediation efforts will result in material costs in excess of the environmental reserve or have a material impact on the Company’s operations. See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2012.
