(c)    Unless Parent or the Shareholders’ Representative gives notice to the other (a “NWC Protest Letter”) on or before the thirtieth (30^th) day after Parent’s and the Shareholders’ Representative’s receipt of the Net Working Capital Statement that Parent or the Shareholders’ Representative, as applicable, disputes the Final Net Working Capital specified in the Net Working Capital Statement and setting forth in reasonable detail the amounts in dispute and the reasons therefor, then the Final Net Working Capital as specified in the Net Working Capital Statement shall become final and binding on the Parties. Except for the matters specifically set out in the NWC Protest Letter, Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative shall be deemed to have agreed to the Net Working Capital Statement in full. If Parent or the Shareholders’ Representative gives a NWC Protest Letter to the other on or before such thirtieth (30^th) day that it or he disputes the Final Net Working Capital specified in the Net Working Capital Statement, then Parent, the Company and the Shareholders’ Representative shall meet by telephone, or at a mutually agreeable location, to discuss in good faith and attempt to reconcile their differences with respect to the amount of the Final Net Working Capital that is being challenged by Parent or the Shareholders’ Representative (the “NWC Challenged Amount”).

(d)    Unless Parent or the Shareholders’ Representative gives notice to the other (a “ALTL Protest Letter”) on or before the thirtieth (30^th) day after Parent’s and the Shareholders’ Representative’s receipt of the Final Adjusted Long-Term Liabilities Statement that Parent or the Shareholders’ Representative, as applicable, disputes the Final Adjusted Long-Term Liabilities specified in the Final Adjusted Long-Term Liabilities Statement and setting forth in reasonable detail the amounts in dispute and the reasons therefor, then the Final Adjusted Long-Term Liabilities as specified in the Final Adjusted Long-Term Liabilities Statement shall become final and binding on the Parties. Except for the matters specifically set out in the ALTL Protest Letter, Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative shall be

deemed to have agreed to the Final Adjusted Long-Term Liabilities Statement in full. If Parent or the Shareholders’ Representative gives a ALTL Protest Letter to the other on or before such thirtieth (30^th) day that it or he disputes the Final Adjusted Long-Term Liabilities specified in the Net Working Capital Statement, then Parent, the Company and the Shareholders’ Representative shall meet by telephone, or at a mutually agreeable location, to discuss in good faith and attempt to reconcile their differences with respect to the amount of the Final Adjusted Long-Term Liabilities that is being challenged by Parent or the Shareholders’ Representative (the “ALTL Challenged Amount”).

(e)    If the Parties are unable to mutually resolve both the NWC Challenged Amount and the ALTL Challenged Amount within twenty (20) days after delivery of the NWC Protest Letter or ALTL Protest Letter (whichever is delivered later), an Arbiter will be engaged by the Parties to determine the NWC Challenged Amount, ALTL Challenged Amount, or both as the case may be. As used in this Agreement, the term “Arbiter” shall mean the highest ranked (with ranking number 1 being the highest ranking) independent public accounting firm listed on Exhibit C that agrees to perform the functions of the Arbiter under this Agreement. The Arbiter: (1) will be jointly engaged by Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative; (2) will be provided, within ten (10) Business Days of accepting the engagement, with a definitive written statement from Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative of their respective positions and a copy (as applicable) of the Net Working Capital Statement, the NWC Protest Letter, the Final Adjusted Long-Term Liabilities Statement and the ALTL Protest Letter; (3) will be advised in the engagement letter that the Parties accept the Arbiter as the appropriate person to interpret this Agreement for all purposes relevant to the resolution of the NWC Challenged Amount, the ALTL Challenged Amount, or both as the case may be; (4) will be granted access to all records and personnel of the Companies, and (5) will have forty-five (45) days to carry out a review and prepare a written statement of its decision regarding the NWC Challenged Amount and the ALTL Challenged Amount, which shall be binding and final upon Parent, the Shareholders’ Representative and the Company Shareholders. In no event shall the Arbiter’s determination be outside of the range of amounts claimed by the respective Parties with respect to those items in dispute. Each Party will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Arbiter any material such Party deems relevant to the determination, copies of which shall be simultaneously provided to the other Party. The decision of the Arbiter shall be final and binding upon the Parties except in the event of manifest error (in which case the relevant part of their determination shall be void and the matter shall be remitted to the Arbiter for correction) and shall be in substitution for and precludes the bringing of any proceedings, including in any court, in connection with any dispute under this Section 2.5. The fees and expenses of the Arbiter incurred in resolving the disputed matter shall be shared equally by the Shareholder’s Representative (and shall be payable solely from the Shareholders’ Representative Expense Fund and not by the Shareholders’ Representative personally), on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand. If, however, there are insufficient funds in the Shareholders’ Representative Expense Fund to pay the Shareholders’ Representative’s portion of such fees and expenses, the amount of such deficiency shall be added to any Adjustment Payment otherwise due to Parent or subtracted from any Adjustment Payment due to the Shareholders’ Representative. For avoidance of doubt and despite any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Shareholders’ Representative shall have sole and exclusive authority to act for and on behalf of the Company Shareholders from and after the Effective Time, with respect to any disputes or issues relating to this Agreement, including without limitation the NWC Challenged Amount and the ALTL Challenged Amount, and no individual Company Shareholder shall have any standing or authority with respect thereto.

(c)    Post-Closing Inventory Adjustments:

(i)Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, the Company shall submit to the Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative its written calculation (the “Inventory Statement”) of the Product Inventory Value and the Merchandise Inventory Value, as of the Measurement Time (the “Final Inventory Value”). From the Closing Date through the final determination of the Final Inventory Value in accordance with this Section 2.6(c), Parent shall cause the Companies and their employees to provide the Shareholders’ Representative and its advisors reasonable access during normal business times to the personnel, properties and books and records of the Companies for the purpose of determining the Final Inventory Value. Unless any Party gives notice to the other Parties (an “Inventory Protest Letter”) on or before the thirtieth (30^th) day after delivery of the Inventory Statement that it disputes the Final Inventory Value specified in the Inventory Statement and setting forth in reasonable detail the amounts in dispute and the reasons therefor, then the Final Inventory Value as specified in the Inventory Statement shall become final and binding on the Parties. Except for the matters specifically set out in the Inventory Protest Letter, the Parties shall be deemed to have agreed to the Inventory Statement in full. If any Party gives an Inventory Protest Letter to other Parties on or before such thirtieth (30^th) day that it disputes the Final Inventory Value specified in the Inventory Statement, then the Parties shall meet by telephone, or at a mutually agreeable location, to discuss in good faith and attempt to reconcile their differences with respect to the amount of the Final Inventory Value that is being challenged (the “Inventory Challenged Amount”).

(ii)If the Parties are unable to mutually resolve the Inventory Challenged Amount within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Inventory Protest Letter, then the Arbiter will be engaged by the Parties to determine the Inventory Challenged Amount. The Arbiter: (1) will be jointly engaged by Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative; (2) will be provided, within the (10) Business Days of accepting the engagement, with a definitive written statement from the Parties of their respective positions and a copy of the Inventory Statement and the Inventory Protest Letter; (3) will be advised in the engagement letter that the Parties accept the Arbiter as the appropriate Person

to interpret this Agreement for all purposes relevant to the resolution of the Inventory Challenged Amount; (4) will be granted access to all records and personnel of the Companies; and (5) will have forty-five (45) days to carry out a review and prepare a written statement of its decision regarding the Inventory Challenged Amount, which shall be binding and final upon the Parties. In no event shall the Arbiter’s determination be outside of the range of amounts claimed by the respective Parties with respect to those items in dispute. Each Party will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Arbiter any material such Party deems relevant to the determination copies of which shall be simultaneously provided to the other Party. The decision of the Arbiter shall be final and binding upon the Parties except in the event of manifest error (in which case the relevant part of their determination shall be void and the matter shall be remitted to the Arbiter for correction) and shall be in substitution for and precludes the bringing of any proceedings, including in any court, in connection with any dispute under this Section 2.6. The fees and expenses of the Arbiter incurred in resolving the disputed matter shall be shared equally by the Shareholders’ Representative (and shall be payable solely from the Shareholders’ Representative Expense Fund and not by the Shareholders’ Representative personally), on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand.

Section 2.7    Withholding Rights.

(a)    Each Party (or its agents) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Company Shareholder such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of a Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by such Party (or its agents), as the case may be, and paid over to or deposited with the relevant Taxing Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Company Shareholder in respect to which such deduction and withholding was made by such Party (or its agents), as the case may be. Whenever any such amounts are deducted or withheld by a Party (or its agents), as promptly as practicable thereafter such Party (or its agents) shall send to the applicable Company Shareholders documentation evidencing that any such amounts so deducted or withheld have been paid over to or deposited with the relevant Taxing Authority.

(b)    Each Company Shareholder shall deliver a certificate to each Party (or the Parties jointly), as set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(b) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parties, establishing that such Company Shareholder is not a foreign person. If any Party does not receive such certificate from any Company Shareholder on or before the Closing Date, each Party may withhold from the amounts payable to such Company Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with Section 1445 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, until such certificate is received by such Party.

Section 2.8    Transfer Books. With respect to the shares of Company Common Stock to be converted pursuant to Section 2.2(b), the transfer books of the Company shall be closed immediately upon the Effective Time and there shall be no further registration of transfers of such shares of Company Common Stock thereafter on the stock transfer records of the Company.

Section 2.9    Dissenting Shares.

(a)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Common Stock held by a holder who has properly exercised dissenters’ rights for such shares in accordance with the HBCA (“Dissenting Shares”) and who, as of the Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or lost such dissenters’ rights, shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the Closing Per Share Merger Consideration, the True Up Per Share Merger Consideration, if any, the Post-Closing Escrow Per Share Merger Consideration, if any, and a pro

rata portion of the Shareholders’ Representative Expense Fund Residual, if any, but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are granted by the HBCA.

(b)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.9(a), if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) his dissenters’ rights, then, upon the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the merger consideration that such holder would have received pursuant to Section 2.2(b) if such holder had not exercised dissenter’s rights, when and as such merger consideration becomes payable pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that such holder shall not be entitled to payment of such merger consideration until such time as the holder delivers to the Company written acknowledgement by such holder of the loss or withdrawal of such holder’s dissenter’s rights in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

(c)    With respect to any Company Shareholder who has notified the Company of the Company Shareholder’s intent to exercise dissenters’ rights (whether orally or in writing), or who has exercised (or purported to exercise), dissenters’ rights, the Company shall give Parent: (i) prompt notice thereof and shall also promptly provide to Parent copies of all written communications and summaries of oral communications, to or from such Company Shareholder, including withdrawals of such demands, notices of loss of dissenter’s rights, and any documents delivered pursuant to the HBCA; and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such assertions of dissenter’s rights or assertions of the intention to assert dissenters’ rights.

(d)    The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, concede, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any assertions of dissenters’ rights or offer to settle or settle any such assertion of dissenters’ rights. The Company shall be solely responsible for payment of fair value for Dissenting Shares

Section 2.10    Post-Closing True Up Adjustment.

(a)    Final Merger Consideration Statement. Within ten (10) Business Days after the final determination of the Final Net Working Capital Value, the Final Adjusted Final Long-Term Liabilities and the Final Inventory Value whichever later occurs, Parent shall deliver to the Shareholders’ Representative a statement setting forth Parent’s calculation of the Final Aggregate Merger Consideration (the “Final Merger Consideration Statement”), along with a description in reasonable detail of the Company’s calculation of the Adjustment Payment. The Final Merger Consideration Statement shall also set forth the calculation of the Adjustment Payment to be made to Section 2.10(g) or Section 2.10(h), as the case may be.

(b)    Review. The Shareholders’ Representative shall have twenty (20) Business Days following the date of delivery of the Final Merger Consideration Statement to notify Parent in writing of any objection (the “Statement of Objection”) to the Final Aggregate Merger Consideration as set forth and calculated on the Final Merger Consideration Statement or the Shareholders’ Representative may give Parent written notice prior to the expiration of such twenty (20) Business Day period that the Shareholders’ Representative agrees with the Final Merger Consideration Statement. The Statement of Objection must specify in reasonable detail the dollar amount of the objection, the basis therefor in reasonable detail and the proposed corrections. Parent shall provide the Shareholders’ Representative copies of all backup and work papers in connection with Parent’s calculation of the Final Aggregate Merger Consideration (other than documents protected from disclosure by attorney client privileges or similar privileges) as well as access to any books and records of the Company reasonably requested by the Shareholders’ Representative in connection with the Shareholders’ Representative’s review of the Final Merger Consideration Statement. Despite anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Shareholders’ Representative shall not be entitled to object to any matter (in a Statement of Objection or otherwise) that (i) was deemed to be accepted by the Shareholders’ Representative pursuant to this

Agreement, (ii) that was previously resolved by written agreement of Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative or (iii) was determined by the Arbiter.

(c)    Deemed Acceptance. Any determination set forth in the Final Merger Consideration Statement that is not specifically objected to in the Statement of Objection (or, if no Statement of Objection is delivered prior to the expiration of thetwenty (20) Business Day period following the date of delivery of the Final Merger Consideration Statement, the full Final Merger Consideration Statement) shall be deemed acceptable and shall be final and binding upon the Parties.

(d)    No Disagreement. If the Shareholders’ Representative is not given written notice of Parent’s disagreement with the Statement of Objection within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt thereof, or if Parent has given the Shareholders’ Representative written notice that it agrees with the Statement of Objection prior to the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period, the Final Aggregate Merger Consideration as adjusted by the Statement of Objection shall be deemed acceptable and shall be final and binding upon the Parties.

(e)    Determination by Arbiter. If the Shareholders’ Representative provides Parent with a Statement of Objection and Parent provides the Shareholders’ Representative written notice of any disagreement with the Statement of Objection within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt thereof, Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve all disputed items and amounts pursuant to good faith negotiations. If Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative are unable to resolve the disagreement within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of Parent’s notice of disagreement, the determination of the Final Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be made by the Arbiter. The Arbiter shall be instructed to render its decision in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall consider only those items or amounts that are the subject of disagreement between the Parties and issues directly affected by such items. The Arbiter shall deliver to Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Arbiter is engaged, a written report setting forth its resolution and, if applicable, its calculation of the disputed items or amounts, which shall be final and binding on the Parties. In no event shall the Arbiter’s determination result in the Final Aggregate Merger Consideration being less than that set forth in the Final Merger Consideration Statement or greater than that set forth in the Statement of Objection. The Parties shall promptly comply with all reasonable requests by the Arbiter for information, books, records and similar items. The fees and expenses of the Arbiter incurred in resolving the disputed matter shall be shared equally by the Shareholder’s Representative (and shall be payable solely from the Shareholders’ Representative Expense Fund and not by the Shareholder Representative personally), on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand.

(f)    Calculation of Adjustment Payment. Not later than the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the final determination of the Final Net Working Capital, the Final Adjusted Long-Term Liabilities and the Final Inventory Value, the Adjustment Payment shall be calculated. The term “Adjustment Payment” shall mean the sum of the following:

(i)    the result (whether positive or negative) of Final Net Working Capital minus Estimated Net Working Capital;

(ii)    the result (whether positive or negative) of Final Adjusted Long-Term Liabilities minus Estimated Adjusted Long-Term Liabilities; and

(iii)    the result (whether positive or negative) of (A) Final Inventory Value minus (B) the sum of the Estimated Product Inventory Value, and the Estimated Merchandise Inventory Value.

(g)    Adjustment Payments. In the event that the Adjustment Payment computed pursuant to Section 2.10(f) is a positive number, then an amount equal to the Adjustment Payment shall be paid to the Company Shareholders as provided below in Section 2.10(h), together with interest at the Applicable Rate from and including the Closing Date to, but excluding, the date of payment, and, in addition, $2,000,000 shall be released to Parent from the Post-Closing Escrow Account, together with any interest and income earned thereon, for payment to the Company Shareholders as provided in Section 2.10(h) (the “First Escrow Release”). In the event the Adjustment Payment computed in accordance with Section 2.10(f) yields a negative number, then the Parent and Shareholders’ Representative shall cause the amount of the Adjustment Payment to be paid from such Escrow Account to Parent, together with interest thereon at the Applicable Rate from and including the Closing Date to, but excluding, the date of payment. If such Adjustment Payment to Parent is less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative shall cause the difference between such Adjustment Payment and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) to be released from the Post-Closing Escrow Account to Parent for disbursement to the Company Shareholders as a partial First Escrow Release.

(h)    As to any Adjustment Payment to be made to the Company Shareholders and the First Escrow Release, each Company Shareholder, shall receive, for each share of Company Common Stock (other than Cancelled Shares and Dissenting Shares) owned by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time, an amount equal to the quotient of (i) the sum of (A) the Adjustment Payment, plus (B) interest thereon at the Applicable Rate from and including the Closing Date to, but excluding, the date of payment, plus (C) the amount of the First Escrow Release, divided by (ii) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Canceled Shares) (the “True Up Per Share Merger Consideration”), calculated to the nearest one one-hundredth of one cent.

(i)    Prior to the third (3rd) Business Day after the final determination of the Adjustment Payment, Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Escrow Agent to release to Parent the First Escrow Release for payment by Parent to Company Shareholders as a portion of the True Up Per Share Merger Consideration. Prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the final determination of the Adjustment Payment, Parent shall provide to the Shareholders’ Representative for his review and approval, a worksheet setting forth the name and address of each Company Shareholder, the portion of the Adjustment Payment to be paid to each Company Shareholder, and the manner of calculation of such amounts. The Shareholders’ Representative shall review, correct (if necessary) and return such worksheet to the Company within ten (10) Business Days. If the Shareholders’ Representative does not return the corrected worksheet to the Company within such ten (10) Business Day period, then the worksheet prepared by the Company shall be final and binding on all Parties and the Company Shareholders. If the worksheet is corrected by the Shareholders’ Representative, such corrected worksheet shall be final and binding on all Parties and the Company Shareholders. Promptly thereafter, Parent shall pay to each Company Shareholder, his or her portion of the True Up Per Share Merger Consideration.

The Company shall keep Parent promptly informed of the status of any such Acquisition Proposal.

Section 5.3    Due Diligence Period; Access; Confidentiality.

(a)    During the period commencing on the Execution Date and ending thirty (30) days thereafter (the “Due Diligence Period”), the Company shall provide or make available documents and information reasonably requested by Parent and its Representatives relating to the respective assets, liabilities, properties and operations of the Companies, including environmental matters, real property, leases, title, insurance, litigation, Taxes, Liabilities, and permits (the “Due Diligence Materials”); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to disclose, make any representations or warranties or obtain Parent’s consent with respect to: (i) any information the disclosure of which is restricted by applicable Law or any contractual obligations, (ii) any information that is covered by the attorney-client privilege or constitutes attorney work product, and (iii) until the HSR Waiting Period has been terminated or expires, any customer lists, Material Contracts relating to the purchase, distribution or sale of petroleum products, pricing and market information or other information which the Company determines, in good faith, is not appropriate to disclose to a competitor (“Competitor Information”). The Due Diligence Period shall be extended for a period of up to fourteen (14) days upon the written request of Parent delivered to the Company prior to the expiration of the initial 30-day Due Diligence Period.

(b)    During the Due Diligence Period, the Company shall provide Parent and its Representatives with reasonable access during regular business hours to the Company offices and business premises to evaluate the

assets, liabilities, property and operations of the Companies and the other matters listed in Section 5.3(a) above; provided, that (i) any such access and review shall be granted and conducted in such a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company or any Company Subsidiary and to maintain confidentiality with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, until the existence of this Agreement is disclosed by the Companies to their employees, and (ii) Parent and its Representatives shall not contact or communicate with any employee, lessor, tenant, customer or supplier of the Companies without the prior written consent of the Company.

Copies of any final reports of such assessments shall be provided to the Company and shall be kept strictly confidential. The Company shall cause its environmental consultant to provide access to the data and information that it has to Parent’s environmental consultant, with the mutual objective of minimizing the need to obtain data and information from the State of Hawaii and/or onsite inspections. Parent understands that its consultant may not be able to obtain relevant documents and information from the State of Hawaii regarding all of the Companies’ sites within the limited time available, and the failure to obtain such documents and information will not be a basis for termination of this Agreement.

(c)    The Company shall provide the Financial Statements to an independent accounting firm selected by Parent for review and evaluation. The Company shall provide the accounting firm with such work papers, documents and information as may be reasonably requested by such firm in connection with its review; provided, that such firm shall agree in writing not to disclose such work papers, documents or information to Parent until after the HSR Waiting Period has been terminated or expired.

Notwithstanding disclosure of Competitor Information to Parent, access to Competitor Information by particular individuals employed by Parent or its Subsidiaries shall be subject to such reasonable restrictions as Parent and the Company deem necessary and appropriate under the circumstances to ensure continued compliance with applicable Laws, including Antitrust Laws. The Due Diligence Period shall be extended or re-opened, as the case may be, for a period of ten (10) Business Days after the delivery to Parent of such certification by the Company. Parent acknowledges and agrees that its decision whether or not to proceed with the Merger is not dependent on its review of the Competitor Information; provided, however, that Parent reserves all rights to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Article IX.

(e)    Without limiting the terms thereof, the Project K Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2013 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), between Parent and Mid Pac Petroleum, LLC shall govern the obligations of Parent, the Company and their respective Representatives with respect to the non-public information furnished or made available to them pursuant to this Section 5.3 or otherwise. In the event that this Agreement is terminated, Parent and its Representatives shall return all of the Due Diligence Materials to the Company, together with all reports and studies obtained by Parent in connection with its review and evaluation of the Company.

(f)    Before and after the Closing, Parent shall assume and indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Companies and their affiliates, consultants and contractors from and against any and all Claims and Losses arising out of the entry upon or access to the property and assets of the Companies by Parent’s Representatives, except for Claims and Losses arising out of (i) the negligence or misconduct of the Companies or their affiliates, consultants or contractors or (ii) the discovery of any pre-existing environmental condition as a result of such access. Any inspection or investigation conducted by or on behalf of Parent shall be conducted in accordance with all Laws, including all Environmental Laws, applicable Company rules and regulations (including those related to health, safety, security and the environment) and in such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Companies.

(g)    Before Parent or its Representatives enter into any of the business premises of the Companies, Parent shall provide to the Company, or shall cause the applicable Representative to provide to the Company, certificates of insurance or otherwise attest that it has appropriate insurance coverage (worker’s compensation, employer’s liability, comprehensive general liability and automobile liability) which will cover the activities of Parent or its Representative. Such certificates shall name the Companies and their affiliates as additional insured and contain a waiver of subrogation in favor of the Companies and their affiliates.

(h)    EXCEPT FOR (AND WITHOUT LIMITING) THE EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, PARENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE COMPANY MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE CONDITION OF THE ASSETS OR FUTURE PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANIES, ZONING, COMPLIANCE WITH LAW, THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, OR OTHER MATTERS, AND PARENT AGREES TO ACCEPT THEM IN THEIR AS-IS, WHERE-IS, CONDITION, WITH ALL FAULTS, WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED COVENANT, WARRANTY AS TO TITLE, CONDITION (INCLUDING ANY ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION), MERCHANTABILITY, PERFORMANCE, FITNESS (BOTH GENERALLY AND FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE) OR OTHERWISE (WHICH WARRANTIES SELLER HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS), OR RECOURSE, OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.

COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES OR AFFILIATES, (C) ANY PRESENTATION BY THE MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY OR ITS AFFILIATES, AND (D) ANY INFORMATION MADE AVAILABLE TO PARENT, OR STATEMENTS MADE TO PARENT, DURING SITE OR OFFICE VISITS, IN ANY DATA ROOM OR MANAGEMENT PRESENTATION;

(xxv)    NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR ANY AFFILIATE, AGENT, OR REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COMPANY HAS MADE, AND THE COMPANY HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS AND NEGATES, ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS (BOTH GENERALLY AND FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE), OR CONFORMITY TO MODELS, PLANS OR PROJECTIONS OR SAMPLES AND ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS, STATUTORY OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO THE COMPANIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSETS; AND

(c)    Subject to Section 5.4(d), each of the Parties agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the approval or waiver of any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction with respect to the Antitrust Laws regarding the Merger and to consummate, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger, including (i) obtaining all other necessary actions or non-actions, waivers, consents, licenses, permits, authorizations, orders and approvals from Governmental Authorities and making all other necessary registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Authorities, if any), (ii) obtaining all consents, approvals or waivers from third parties related to or required in connection with the Merger that are necessary to

consummate the Merger, (iii) executing and delivering any additional instruments reasonably necessary to consummate the Merger, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement and (iv)  providing all such information concerning such party, its Subsidiaries, its Affiliates and its Subsidiaries’ and Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and partners as may be reasonably requested in connection with any of the matters set forth in Section 5.4(a), Section 5.4(b) or this Section 5.4(c). In furtherance and not in limitation of the efforts referred to above in this Section 5.4, if any objections are asserted with respect to the Merger under the Antitrust Laws, or if any action, suit or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by any Governmental Authority or any third party challenging the Merger or that would otherwise prohibit, impair or delay the consummation of the Merger, the Parties agree to take, and to cause their Affiliates to take, commercially reasonable steps to avoid or eliminate as soon as possible each and every impediment under the Antitrust Laws that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority so as to enable the parties hereto to expeditiously consummate the Merger.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company shall not be required, in order to resolve any objections asserted under Antitrust Laws by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than any objections relating to or resulting from a Prohibited Transaction (as defined below) to take or agree to take any action or agree to any limitation or restriction, that its Board of Directors reasonably determines in good faith, (i) in the case of Parent, would have a Parent Material Adverse Effect, (ii) would materially reduce the overall benefits expected, as of the Execution Date, to be realized by Parent or the Company Shareholders from the Merger, or (iii) would result in a reduction in the Merger Consideration in excess of $7.5 million, or (iv) materially limits the Company’s, a Company Subsidiary’s or Parent’s freedom of action with respect to the conduct of their respective businesses, whether before or after the Effective Time.

(e)    From the date hereof until the Closing, Parent and its controlled Affiliates shall not acquire, agree to acquire, any retail gasoline stations or fuel terminals located in the State of Hawaii, either directly or indirectly, if the acquisition of such assets would materially and adversely affect or delay the ability of Parent and the Company to obtain expiration or termination of the HSR Waiting Period or clearance by the State of Hawaii under the Hawaii antitrust Laws (a “Prohibited Transaction”). Parent represents to the Company that as of the Execution Date, neither Parent nor any of its controlled Affiliates has agreed or submitted a bid or offer to enter into a Prohibited Transaction. In the event of a breach of this Section 5.4(f), if the Merger is enjoined as a result of a breach of this Section 5.4(f), or if the Closing does not occur within the period set forth in Section 9.1(b) (including extensions) as a result of such breach, and this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(b) or 9.1(c), Parent shall be obligated to pay to the Company the sum of $15.0 million as liquidated damages. The Company shall be entitled to disbursement of the Deposit to apply towards payment of this amount, and the balance, if any, of such $15.0 million liquidated damages shall be due as of the date of termination.

Section 5.5    Publicity. The Company shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates to, and Parent shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates to, issue any press release or otherwise make any public announcement concerning this Agreement or the Merger prior to the Effective Time, without obtaining the prior approval of the Company or Parent, as applicable, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless, in the reasonable judgment of the Company or Parent, as applicable, disclosure is otherwise required to comply with (a) the rules of any securities exchange on which shares of capital stock of Parent may be listed or (b) any applicable Law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any applicable securities Laws or SEC rules or requirements); provided, that to the extent required by such securities exchange rule or applicable Law, the party intending to make such release or announcement shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with such securities exchange rule or applicable Law, to consult with the other party with respect to the text thereof prior to making such release or announcement.

Section 5.6    Notification of Certain Events. From and after the Execution Date and continuing through the earlier of (a) the Closing Date or (b) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX:

(i)    The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of (A) the occurrence or existence of (I) the breach in any material respect of a representation, warranty or covenant made by the Company in this Agreement, or any other fact, circumstance or event, in either case, that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay any condition precedent to any party’s obligations hereunder from being satisfied and/or (II) a Company Material Adverse Effect; (B) any notice or other communication (other than routine notices or communications in the ordinary course of business) from any Governmental Authority with respect to the Merger; or (C) any written notice or other written communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger; and

(ii)    Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company of (A) the occurrence or existence of (I) the breach in any material respect of a representation, warranty or covenant made by Parent and Merger Sub in this Agreement, or any other fact, circumstance or event, in either case, that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay any condition precedent to any party’s obligations hereunder from being satisfied and/or (II) a Parent Material Adverse Effect; (B) any notice or other communication (other than routine notices or communications in the ordinary course of business) from any Governmental Authority with respect to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby; and (C) any written notice or other written communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 5.7    Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification. The Surviving Entity shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless all past and present officers and directors of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (the “D&O Indemnified Parties”) for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time to the fullest extent provided under their respective Organizational Documents in effect on the Execution Date (and shall also advance expenses as incurred in defense of any action, suit or proceeding to the fullest extent provided under such Organizational Documents; provided, that the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification); and provided, further, that such indemnification shall be subject to any limitation imposed from time to time under the HBCA.

Section 5.8    Supplemental Disclosure.

(a)    The Company shall, subject to the provisions of this Section 5.8, from time to time, but no later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, by notice in accordance with this Agreement, supplement the Company Disclosure Schedule to reflect any matter that (i) arises or new information that becomes known by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries after the date of this Agreement and (ii) would have been required or permitted to be set forth or described in the Company Disclosure Schedule had such matter existed or such information been known to the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries as of the date of this Agreement (the “Supplemental Disclosure”).

(b)    Parent shall have fourteen (14) Business Days after receipt of any Supplemental Disclosure (the “Termination Period”) in which to review such Supplemental Disclosure. If a Supplemental Disclosure discloses facts that would constitute a breach of the Company’s representations and warranties or covenants hereunder or which has or could be reasonably expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, Parent and the Company shall discuss such matter in good faith and attempt to resolve the matter. In the event the matter is not resolved Parent may terminate this Agreement by delivering a written notice of termination to the Company prior to the expiration of the Termination Period. If a notice of termination is not received with respect to any Supplemental Disclosure within the Termination

Period, Parent will be deemed to have waived its right to terminate with respect to such Supplemental Disclosure and the Company Disclosure Schedule will be deemed, for the purpose of Parent’s and Merger Sub’s condition to Closing as set forth in Section 6.2(a), and for the purpose of the indemnification provisions in Article VII, to be amended and supplemented as described in the Supplemental Disclosure as of the Execution Date and the company shall not be deemed in breach of any representation or warranty with respect to such Supplemental Disclosure.

The Company shall cause to be delivered to Parent on the Closing Date such resignations of members of the Board of Directors of the Company and each Company Subsidiary as requested in writing by Parent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, such resignations to be effective concurrently with the Closing.

(a)    The Company shall, in accordance with applicable Law and the Organizational Documents of the Company:

At the Special Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof, the Company shall accept the vote or other action of Parent or any of its executive officers as that of the Company Shareholder who has executed and delivered such Irrevocable Proxy.

(c)    Parent agrees that it will cooperate with and assist the Company, including by providing the Company, promptly upon request, with the information concerning Parent and Merger Sub that the Company reasonably determines to be included in materials to be provided to the Company Shareholders. The information supplied by Parent for inclusion in such materials will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Section 5.11    Company Employees; Employee Benefit Plans; ERISA.

(a)    Continued Employment. After Closing, Parent shall cause the Companies to continue to employ each employee of the Companies (“Company Employees”) on such terms and conditions as Parent shall determine in its sole discretion and subject to Parent’s hiring practices, and shall provide the Company Employees with benefits that are similar to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries, provided that if Parent, the Companies or a Subsidiary continues any Benefit Plan there shall be no duplication of benefits, and provided further that notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Companies or any of its Subsidiaries will be required to provide

retiree medical or life insurance benefits or a defined benefit pension plan benefits to any Company Employee. Nothing in this Agreement including this Section 5.11(a) shall create any new or additional right or expectation of continued employment with the Company, Parent or its Subsidiaries or otherwise modify the employment-at-will status of any individual or except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 5.11(a) require Parent or its Subsidiaries or the Companies after Closing to maintain any Benefit Plan or establish any benefit plan, policy or program. At Closing, the Companies will provide Parent with a complete list of all employees of the Companies whose employment has been terminated in the preceding 90 days prior to Closing and the reason for such termination, and in reliance on this list, Parent shall not engage in any closure, partial closure, or mass layoff with respect to the Companies within one year after the Closing, and Parent shall be responsible for, and Parent shall indemnify the Company Shareholders and the Shareholders’ Representative from and against all Claims and Losses arising under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, as amended (the “WARN Act”), the Hawaii Dislocated Workers Act or any state or local law equivalent with respect to Company Employees, to the extent such Claims or Losses relate to actions taken by Parent or the Companies after the Closing. Parent shall provide, or cause the Companies to provide, severance pay in accordance with Section 5.11(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule for Company Employees terminated by any of the Companies.

(b)    Benefit Plans. If any Company Employee participates in a Benefit Plan that is not solely sponsored and maintained by the Companies, then prior to or on the Closing Date, the Company shall take the necessary actions for such employees to cease participation in such plans except to the extent provided by Law, such as COBRA and Parent shall have no obligation to continue or provide a similar benefit after Closing. At Closing, any person who is not a Company Employee will cease to participate in future accruals or benefits under any Benefit Plan that is maintained solely by the Companies.

(c)    Parent shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, (i) to the extent permitted under Parent or Subsidiaries medical plan, waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Company Employees under any Parent or Subsidiary medical benefit plan in which such Company Employees may be eligible to participate after the Closing, other than limitations or waiting periods that are in effect with respect to such employees and that have not been satisfied under the corresponding Benefit Plan and to extent permitted under the applicable plan maintained by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries for the Company Employees prior to the Closing and (ii) to the extent permitted by the applicable insurance carriers, provide each Company Employee with credit under any medical plan in which such Company Employee becomes eligible to participate after the Closing for any co-payments and deductibles paid by such Company Employee for the then current plan year under the corresponding medical plans maintained by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries prior to the Closing.

(d)    Vacation and Service Crediting. Parent shall take all necessary action so that after the Closing Date each Company Employee shall continue to be credited with the unused vacation and sick leave credited to such Company Employee through the Closing Date under the applicable vacation and sick leave policies of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries, and Parent shall permit or cause its affiliates to permit such employees to use such vacation and sick leave. Parent shall take all necessary action so that, with respect to each employee benefit plan maintained by Parent or any of its affiliates in which Company Employees become eligible to participate upon or after the Closing Date, each such employee shall be given credit for all service with the Company or the Company Subsidiaries (or all service credited by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries) for purposes of participation and vesting to the same extent as if rendered to Parent or any of its affiliates, but in no event will such service credit be required for benefit accrual purposes under any defined benefit plan or result in duplication of benefits.

Section 5.12    Further Assurances. Each of the Parties to this Agreement shall execute and deliver, or shall cause to be executed and delivered, such documents and other instruments and shall take, or shall cause to be taken, such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and to consummate the Merger.

Section 5.13    Pre-Closing Price Adjustments.

(a)    If there shall exist prior to the Closing Date a breach of one or more representations, warranties or covenants of the Company in this Agreement or an event, condition, situation or circumstance (including a Company Material Adverse Effect) that causes, or could be reasonably expected to cause, a total loss of, or a material diminution in, the post-Closing value to any of the Companies or Parent of one or more Real Property sites, Contracts or other assets listed or described in Schedule 5.13 (Allocated Values) (a “Pre-Closing Adjustment Event”), the Closing Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be reduced to reflect such loss or diminution in value (a “Pre-Closing Price Adjustment”). If such loss or diminution in value is not covered by insurance, then the amount of a Pre-Closing Price Adjustment shall be derived by reference to the Allocated Value of the affected assets or Contracts, as described in Schedule 5.13, less the residual fair market value of the affected assets or Contracts and without regard to the Deductible or to the Closing Breach Threshold. If such loss or diminution in value is covered by insurance (an “Insured Pre-Closing Loss”), then any Pre-Closing Price Adjustment also shall be derived by reference to the Allocated Value of the affected assets or Contracts, as described in Schedule 5.13 less (i) the residual fair market value of the affected assets or Contracts, and less (ii) any insurance proceeds actually received by the Companies prior to the Closing in respect of such loss or diminution of value and, if all insurance proceeds are not received prior to Closing, a reasonable estimate of such insurance proceeds to be received after the Closing based on the terms of the applicable insurance policy. For the purposes of this Section 5.13 the following are indicative of Pre-Closing Adjustment Events intended to be covered by this Section 5.13:

(xxv)    The inability of the Company to deliver clear title, subject only to Permitted Liens, to any Owned Real Property or the leasehold interest for any Leasehold Real Property;

(xxvi)    Destruction of any property or material damage to any property that is not a usual and ordinary occurrence in the conduct of the business of the Companies and renders such property, or any material portion thereof, inoperable until it is repaired;

(xxvii)    The cancellation or early termination of any Contract listed or described in Schedule 5.13 from which the Company or any Company Subsidiary derived more than $100,000 in gross revenues for the twelve months ended April 30, 2014; and

(xxviii)    The exercise of any right of first refusal, purchase option, cancellation or termination option, right to accelerate a payment or performance obligation or similar contractual rights with respect to assets or Contracts listed in Schedule 5.13;

(b)    Within five (5) Business Days after the occurrence of a Pre-Closing Adjustment Event, the Pre-Closing Price Adjustment shall be computed by reference to the Allocated Value of the affected assets or Contracts, as adjusted for any applicable insurance proceeds as described in Section 5.13(a) above and the residual fair market value of the affected assets or Contracts; provided, however, that if the nature of a Pre-Closing Adjustment Event is such that the ability of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to sell or distribute hydrocarbon products from, or with respect to, the affected Real Property site, Contract or other asset is not affected, the Allocated Value thereof shall not include any Distribution Value.

(c)    To the extent of any Pre-Closing Price Adjustment, Losses relating to any Pre-Closing Adjustment Event shall be excluded from the computation of the Closing Breach Threshold. Additionally, no Parent Indemnified Party shall be entitled to make a post-Closing claim under Article VII hereof for indemnification with respect to any Pre-Closing Adjustment Event for which a Pre-Closing Price Adjustment was made except to the extent that any projected insurance proceeds are not recovered which shall not be subject to any Deductible and shall be indemnifiable from the first dollar.

Section 5.14    Deposit.  

(a)    Parent shall deposit by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds into an escrow account (the “Deposit Escrow Account”) with the Escrow Agent pursuant to an escrow agreement by and among Parent, the Shareholders’ Representative and the Escrow Agent in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 (the “Deposit Escrow Agreement”) the following amounts: (i) on the Execution Date, the sum of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (the “Initial Deposit”), and (ii) within three (3) Business Days after the earliest of the expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to the Merger, the sum of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the “HSR Clearance Deposit”, and together with the Initial Deposit, the “Deposit”). This Agreement will not become a legally binding and enforceable obligation of the Company unless and until the Initial Deposit is received by the Escrow Agent.

(b)    If the Closing occurs, Parent and Shareholders’ Representative shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Deposit, together with any interest and income earned thereon and net of one-half (1/2) of the fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent then due, to be released to Parent for payment thereof to the Company Shareholders as part of the Merger Consideration, all as further provided in Section 2.2 and Section 2.3.

(c)    If the Closing does not occur, Parent, the Company and Shareholders’ Representative shall cause all monies in the Deposit Escrow Account to be distributed pursuant to the pertinent provisions of Section 9.2.

Section 5.15    Company Monthly Consolidated Financial Statements. From the Execution Date until the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than twenty (20) days after the end of each calendar month, the unaudited consolidated interim balance sheet and statement of operations and cash flows of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as of and for the period for each calendar month then ended (the “Company Monthly Financial Statements”). The Company Monthly Financial Statements shall be prepared on a basis consistent with manner in which the Financial Statements were prepared.

Section 5.16    Title Insurance and Surveys. Parent, at its sole cost and expense, may procure new or updated owner’s title insurance policies (the “Title Policies”) from title companies of its choice with respect to the Owned Real Property or the Leased Real Property insuring title subject only to the Permitted Liens and such other general title exceptions as may be raised by the Title Company. Parent shall also be responsible for the delivery of any documentation required by the title companies in connection with the title policies including surveys or zoning reports; provided, however, that the Company and Company Subsidiaries shall deliver the documentation required by Parent’s title companies in connection therewith as described below. At Parent’s request, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall cooperate with and assist Parent with any reasonable request in Parent’s efforts to obtain the title policies and shall execute and deliver to the title companies such affidavits, certificates and other documentation as are customary and reasonably requested to cause the title companies to issue CLTA Standard Coverage Policy – 1990 for the Owned Real Property or the Leased Real Property (including assistance to obtain a “non-imputation” or similar endorsement), but none of the officers or directors of the Companies shall be required to execute any personal indemnities with respect thereto. Prior to Closing, Parent may, at its sole cost and expense, obtain and update any surveys pertaining

to the Owned Real Property or the Leased Real Property; provided, however, that any such surveys and survey updates shall be performed by a surveyor acceptable to the Company, the approval of which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Company agrees to reasonably cooperate with Parent prior to the Closing to permit Parent to procure any surveys of the Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property that Parent’s reasonably deems necessary, all at Parent’s sole risk, cost and expense.

Section 5.17    Third Party Consents. Parent and the Company shall cooperate and each shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all consents, approvals, authorizations, permits, waivers or exemptions of third parties and Governmental Authorities with respect to the matters set forth, or required to be set forth, in Sections 3.3, 3.4(a) and 3.4(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule prior to the Closing, and if any are not obtained prior to the Closing, Parent, the Company and the Shareholders’ Representative shall continue to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain them for up to twelve (12) months after the Closing Date.

The Parties hereto will use their commercially reasonable efforts to bring about the satisfaction as soon as possible of each of the conditions contained in Article VI (except to the extent that the satisfaction of such condition is in the control of the other Party).

Section 6.1    Mutual Conditions. The respective obligations of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company to effect the Merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver, at or before the Closing, of each of the following conditions:

(a)    No Legal Prohibition, etc. No temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other judgment, order or decree issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Law shall be in effect preventing the consummation of the Merger, and there shall be no pending action or proceeding instituted by any Governmental Authority seeking any such injunction, judgment, order or decree or substantial monetary damages in connection with the consummation of the Merger; provided, however, that prior to asserting this condition, a Party shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the entry of any such injunction, judgment, order or decree and to appeal as promptly as possible any such injunction, judgment, order or decree that may be entered and provided, further, that a Party’s right to assert this condition shall not require such Party to take or agree to take any action or agree to any limitation or restriction from which such Party is excused by Section 5.4(d).

(b)    Company Shareholder Approval. The Company Shareholder Approval shall have been obtained.

(c)    Regulatory Approvals. Parent and the Company shall have received or obtained all consents, approvals, and authorizations from Governmental Authorities that are necessary for the consummation of the Merger, including the expiration or termination of the HSR Waiting Period.

(viii)    the truth and correctness of the Company’s representations and warranties as of the Execution Date and as of the Closing Date shall not be a condition to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligation to consummate the Merger unless the Losses actually incurred, together with those reasonably expected to be incurred, by the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or Parent collectively (but without duplication) with respect to the facts, circumstances or conditions causing the Company’s representations and warranties to not be true and correct exceed $7,500,000 in the aggregate (the “Closing Breach Threshold”);

(ix)    for purposes of computing the Closing Breach Threshold, whether any representations and warranties of the Company have been breached, and the determination and calculation of any Losses, shall be made without giving effect to any qualification of any such representation and warranty as to “materiality” (including the words “material”, “Company Material Adverse Effect”) or words of similar import; provided, however, that no representation or warranty of the Company shall be deemed to have been breached (for purposes of this Section 6.2(a) only) unless the Losses actually incurred, together with those reasonably expected to be incurred, by the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or Parent with respect to such breach exceed $5,000, in which event all such Losses (including, from the first dollar, those considered in computing such $5,000 threshold) shall be included in the calculation of the Closing Breach Threshold; and

(xxxv)    the positive difference between (A) the amount of insurance proceeds assumed to be collected by the Companies after the Closing Date in the computation of a Pre-Closing Price Adjustment with respect to the Price Adjustment Event giving rise to such Pre-Closing Price Adjustment and (B) the amount of such insurance proceeds actually collected by the Companies on or prior to the date that is seventeen (17) months after the Closing Date.

(k)    For purposes of Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 7.2(a)(ii), the representations warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company and the Shareholders’ Representative shall not be deemed qualified by any reference to “materiality”, including the words “material” or “Company Material Adverse Effect”.

(l)    Solely for purposes of determining Losses with respect to Section 7.2(a)(iv) with respect to assets and Contracts listed in Schedule 5.13 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, Losses shall be determined based on the Allocated Value of the asset or Contract.

(m)    Solely for purposes of determining Losses with respect to Section 7.2(a)(v) or Section 7.2(a)(vi), Losses shall be determined as the positive difference between (i) the aggregate Allocated Value of the assets covered by the Chevron-IPI Option or the Chevron-Senter Option, as the case may be, minus (ii) the sum of (A) aggregate purchase price actually received from Supplier for such assets, plus (B) costs of sale (including fees and expenses of appraisers) paid or incurred by any of the Companies.

Section 7.3    Indemnification by Parent.

(a)    Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.6, from and after the Closing, Parent shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company Shareholders and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, trustees and employees and their heirs, successors and permitted assigns, each in their capacity as such (with respect to each of the Company Shareholders, the “Company Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by any of the Company Indemnified Parties, to the extent arising out of:

(i)    any breach of any representation or warranty in Article IV;

Section 7.4    Indemnification Claim Process.

(b)    In order to make a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VII:

(i)    a Parent Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event prior to the expiration of the longest Survival Period applicable to such claim) deliver a written notice of such claim, describing such claim in reasonable detail and stating the amount or estimated amount of the Losses related to such claim (a “Claims Notice”) to the Shareholders’ Representative; and

(ii)    the Shareholders’ Representative, on behalf of a Company Indemnified Party, shall promptly (and in any event prior to the expiration of the longest Survival Period applicable to such claim) deliver a Claims Notice to Parent.

(c)    A Person making a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement shall be referred to as the “Indemnified Party” and the Person from whom indemnification is sought shall be referred to as the “Indemnifying Party” (which, if the claim is against the Company Shareholders pursuant to Section 7.2(a), shall be the Shareholders’ Representative).

(d)    No claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VII shall be made after the expiration of the longest Survival Period applicable to such claim.

Section 7.5    Third Party Claims Procedures.

(a)    With respect to any Claims Notice relating to any claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Party may be liable hereunder which is asserted by a third party against an Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of such Claims Notice to notify the Indemnified Party in writing that the Indemnifying Party desires to assume the defense or prosecution of the Third Party Claim and any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel of its choice.

(iii)    In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing of the Indemnifying Party’s intention to assume such defense within such fifteen-day period (A) the Indemnifying Party shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof (unless: (1) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi‑criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation against the Indemnified Party; (2) the claim seeks an injunction against the Indemnified Party; (3) the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim or the Indemnifying Party is also a party to such claim and the Indemnified Party has been advised by its counsel that joint representation would be inappropriate as a matter of professional responsibility of an attorney to multiple clients; (4) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Party of its financial capacity to defend such claim; (5) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that the Loss relating to the claim could exceed the maximum amount that such Indemnified Party could then be entitled to recover under the applicable provisions of Section 7.6); or (6) the claim for indemnification relates to a Straddle Period Tax Return) and (B) the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent

of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and, in any event, unless each of the following conditions are met: (1) the judgment or settlement provides solely for the payment of money for which the Indemnifying Party agrees to be fully liable (subject to the limitations on indemnification set forth in Section 7.6) and, the Indemnifying Party makes such payment or, if the Indemnifying Party is the Company Shareholders, provides for such payment to be made in full pursuant to a reduction of the Post-Closing Escrow Amount; (2) the Indemnified Party receives an unconditional release; (3) the judgment or settlement does not contain any adverse findings or stipulations of fact or findings or stipulations of violations of Law; and (4) in the case of Shareholder Taxes, the judgment or settlement will not affect the amount of Taxes for which Parent, Company, any Company Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates are or will be liable for any period other than the period that is the subject of the judgment or settlement; provided, that, the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in (but not control), the defense of such Third Party Claim (except that, in the event the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are both named parties to the proceedings and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of outside counsel, that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, the Indemnified Party shall participate in such defense and employ such separate co-counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s expense); provided further, that, in the case of any claim for indemnification relating to a Straddle Period Tax Return, (x) both Parent Indemnified Parties and the Shareholders’ Representative may participate in the Tax Proceeding, each at its own expense, (y) the Tax Proceeding (including any issues, such as choice of judicial forum, that must be decided jointly) shall be controlled by the Party that would bear the burden of the greater portion of the dollar amount of the potential adjustments in the Tax Proceeding and any corresponding adjustments that may reasonably be anticipated with respect to future Tax periods, and (z) the controlling Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of the other party (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, or delayed).

(iv)    In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party in writing of the Indemnifying Party’s intention to assume such defense within such fifteen-day period, or the Indemnifying Party does not otherwise timely assume or pursue the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume its own defense; it being understood that the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification for a Third Party Claim shall not be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall not settle a Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b)    The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of a Third Party Claim, including by providing access to each other’s relevant business records and other documents, and employees.

Section 7.6    Limitations on Indemnification.

(c)    In no event shall the aggregate indemnification obligations under either Section 7.2(a), on the one hand, or under Section 7.3(a), on the other hand, exceed the Post-Closing Escrow Amount. Parent acknowledges and agrees that under no circumstances shall the Company Shareholders or the Shareholders’ Representative have any personal Liability for any indemnification obligations, and Parent’s recourse shall be limited solely to the Post-Closing Escrow Account.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Company Shareholder shall be required to indemnify any Parent Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses subject to indemnification under Section

7.2(a), (i) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses subject to indemnification under Section 7.2(a) (other than Losses thereunder to which the Deductible does not apply in accordance with the last sentence of this Section) exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Deductible”), in which case the Company Shareholders shall be required to indemnify Parent Indemnified Parties only for such Losses in excess of the Deductible, and (ii) from and after the time that the Company Shareholders have made indemnification payments under Section 7.2(a) that in the aggregate are equal to the amounts then remaining in the Post-Closing Escrow Amount (as adjusted pursuant to Section 5.13 or reduced pursuant to Section 7.8). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Deductible shall not apply to Losses to the extent such Losses arise from or relate to (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation, (ii) a breach of the covenants and agreements contained in Article II or Article IX, (iii) a breach of a Fundamental Representation; or (iv) indemnification claims made pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iii) (Shareholder Taxes) or Section 7.2(a)(iv) (failure to obtain certain consents prior to Closing).

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the Liability of any party in respect of Losses arising out of any fraud or intentional misrepresentation on the part of such party, and the Company Shareholders shall have no liability whatsoever with respect to any Spin Off Taxes.

(f)    If any Indemnified Party collects an amount in discharge of a claim in respect of a Loss pursuant to this Article VII and such Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate thereof) subsequently recovers from a third party an amount which is related to that claim in respect of a Loss pursuant to this Article VII such that the Indemnified Party has received an amount in connection therewith in excess of its related Losses (such excess recovery, the “Excess Recovery”), such Indemnified Party shall (or, as appropriate, shall ensure that such Affiliate shall) promptly repay to the Indemnifying Party or Parties an amount equal to the Excess Recovery less any costs or expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in procuring the Excess Recovery (but no more than the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VII).

(g)    The amount of Losses otherwise recoverable under this Article VII shall be limited to the amount of any Loss that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar cash payment actually received by the Indemnified Parties from any third party with respect thereto

Section 7.7    Escrow Amount Adjustments.

(a)    Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative shall meet from time to time to review Claims Notices submitted by Parent Indemnified Parties to the Shareholders’ Representative or by a Company Indemnified Party to Parent (“Escrow Amount Adjustment Meetings”) and, in any event, shall convene Escrow Amount Adjustment Meetings (i) as soon as reasonably practicable once the Losses that are the subject of such Claims Notices (including any Shareholder Taxes) aggregate at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), and each time such Losses since the most recent Escrow Amount Adjustment Meeting aggregate at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), and (ii) within thirty (30) days prior to the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date. The Escrow Amount Adjustment Meetings shall be held at the principal offices of Parent in Honolulu, Hawaii on dates and at times to be mutually agreed by Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative.

(b)    In the event that the Shareholders’ Representative disputes all or any portion of the amount of Losses subject to a Claims Notice (including any Shareholder Taxes), the Shareholders’ Representative shall deliver an objection notice (an “Objection Notice”) to Parent no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the upcoming Escrow Amount Adjustment Meeting; provided that the Claims Notice was delivered not less than thirty (30) days before the date of the meeting. Each Objection Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for all objections to the claims made in the Objection Notice(s) to which it relates. Any amount claimed in the timely delivered Claims Notices that

is not the subject of an Objection Notice shall be deemed accepted by the Shareholders’ Representative and such amount shall be deducted from the Post-Closing Escrow Amount.

(c)    If an Objection Notice is timely delivered, Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative shall use good faith efforts to resolve the dispute and/or agree upon the amount of such claim to be included in the Reserve Amount. If the dispute cannot be resolved within the thirty (30) days following the applicable Escrow Amount Adjustment Meeting, Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative shall submit the dispute to a single arbiter located in Honolulu, Hawaii (the “Escrow Arbiter”), selected in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of Dispute Prevention and Resolution, Inc., whose determination shall be final and binding as an arbitral award. The Escrow Arbiter shall be instructed to render its decision in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall consider only those items or amounts that are the subject of disagreement between the Parties. The fees and expenses relating to such arbitration shall be allocated between the Company Shareholders, on the one hand (with such amounts being deducted from the Post-Closing Escrow Amount), and Parent, on the other hand, in inverse proportion to the resolution of the disagreements by the Escrow Arbiter such that the Party or Parties whose determination of the amount in question as first submitted to the Escrow Arbiter is closer to the Escrow Arbiter’s determination pays a smaller percentage of such fees and expenses. Once amounts subject to an Objection Notice are finally resolved, whether by mutual agreement or arbitration, any amounts payable to a Parent Indemnified Party shall be deducted from the Post-Closing Escrow Account and Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Escrow Agent to pay such amounts to Parent.

Section 7.8    Reduction of Post-Closing Escrow and Payment of Post-Closing Escrow Per Share Merger Consideration.

(d)    No later than five (5) Business Days following the date the Chevron-IPI Option and the Chevron-Senter Option expire unexercised or their exercise is waived, Parent and Shareholders’ Representative shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Escrow Agent to distribute to the Shareholders’ Representative from the Post-Closing Escrow Account an amount equal to the product of (i) Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) multiplied by (ii) the Price Reduction Factor. The amount so distributed to the Shareholders’ Representative shall be promptly paid by the Shareholders’ Representative to Company Shareholders as Post-Closing Escrow Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.2(b)(iv).

(e)    No later than five (5) Business Days after either the closing of the sale of the assets covered by the Chevron Option Agreements or the closing of the sale of the assets covered by one of the Chevron Option Agreements and the waiver or expiration of the other, to the extent not covered by a Pre-Closing Price Adjustment, Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative shall cause the Escrow Agent to distribute from the Post-Closing Escrow Account, (i) to Parent an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, between the Allocated Value of such assets, minus the purchase price paid by Chevron for such assets, and (ii) to the Shareholders’ Representative, an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, between (A) an amount equal to the product of (x) Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) multiplied by (y) the Price Reduction Factor, and (B) the amounts paid to Parent under the immediately preceding clause (i) above.

(f)    No later than five (5) Business Days following the later of (x) issuance of title policies (or date down endorsements to any existing title policy held by the Company or any Company Subsidiary) covering the owned Real Property and (y) obtaining the consents listed in Sections 3.3, 3.4(a) and 3.4(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (but excluding those set forth in Section 7.2(a)(iv) (Excepted Consents) of the Company Disclosure Schedule), Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative shall cause the Escrow Agent to distribute to the Shareholders’ Representative from the Post-Closing Escrow Account, an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, of (i) an amount equal to the product of (A) Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000) multiplied by (B) the Price Reduction Factor,

minus (ii) the sum of (A) any Reserve Amount for any indemnification claim made by Parent with respect to any alleged breach of the Company’s title representations in Section 3.12 and (B) any Reserve Amount for any indemnification claim made by Parent with under Section 7.2(a)(iv).

(g)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary the distributions of funds from the Post-Closing Escrow Account contemplated by Sections 7.8(a), 7.8(b) or 7.8(c), shall be limited to the extent necessary so that the balance of funds in the Post-Closing Escrow Account shall at all times equal or exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) plus the Reserve Amount as of the date of such distribution. No later than five (5) Business Days following the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, Parent and Shareholders’ Representative shall cause the Escrow Agent to distribute to the Shareholders’ Representative from the Post-Closing Escrow Account an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, of: (i) the then existing balance of the Post-Closing Escrow Account minus (ii) the Reserve Amount. The amount so distributed to the Shareholders’ Representative shall be promptly paid by the Shareholders’ Representative to Company Shareholders as Post-Closing Escrow Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.2(b)(iv).

(h)    The “Reserve Amount” at any time shall include the sum of (i) all amounts subject to Claims Notices and Taxes (excluding any portion of the amount claimed that the Parties have been able to resolve and for which distributions have been made from the Post-Closing Escrow Account) and amounts payable pursuant to Article VIII for which a Claims Notice has been delivered and remains unresolved or the period for delivering an Objection Notice has not yet expired, (ii) Losses and Taxes and other amounts payable pursuant to Article VIII for which a Claims Notice or other notification has been provided but the amount of which has not become final as of such date, (iii) the Allocated Values of all assets and Contracts of the Companies subject to the Chevron-IPI Option, to the extent that the Chevron-IPI Option has not expired unexercised or been waived; and (iv) the Allocated Values of all assets and Contracts of the Companies subject to the Chevron-Senter Option, to the extent the Chevron-Senter Option has not expired unexercised or been waived.

(i)    Following the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative shall meet from time to time with respect to any Reserve Amounts and related claims, to which the procedures of Section 7.5 and Section 7.7 shall continue to apply until final resolution of such claims, with such Reserved Amounts deducted from the Post-Closing Escrow Account and paid to Parent or released for payment by the Shareholders’ Representative to the Company Shareholders as Post-Closing Escrow Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.2(b)(iv), as applicable.

Section 7.9    Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Effective Time, the rights of the Indemnified Parties to indemnification relating to this Agreement or the Merger or the Company’s business or assets shall be strictly limited to those contained in this Article VII and Article VIII, and such indemnification rights shall be the exclusive remedies of the Indemnified Parties subsequent to the Effective Time with respect to any matter in any way relating to this Agreement or arising in connection herewith or arising in connection with the Company’s business or assets.

Section 8.1    Tax Returns.

(n)    Preparation and Filing. Parent shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or caused to be filed, all Tax Returns of Company and each Company Subsidiary required to be filed after the Closing Date, including all Pre-Closing Tax Period Returns, Straddle Period Tax Returns, and Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes. Any

such Tax Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past custom and practice except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Laws.

(o)    Tax Return Review. Reasonably in advance of filing any Tax Return to be filed pursuant to Section 8.1(a), but no later than thirty (30) days prior to the due date (taking into account any valid extensions thereof) (“Due Date”) for the filing of such Tax Returns that constitute Income Tax Returns, Parent shall submit, or cause to be submitted, a draft of such Tax Return to the Shareholders’ Representative for review, comment and approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), including, in the case of any Straddle Period Tax Return, calculations of the Taxes constituting Straddle Period Shareholder Taxes. Parent shall provide the Shareholders’ Representative copies of all backup and work papers in connection with such draft Tax Return as well as access to any books and records of the Company reasonably requested by the Shareholders’ Representative in connection with conducting the Shareholders’ Representative’s review of the draft Tax Return. The Shareholders’ Representative shall have twenty (20) days following the date of delivery of the draft Tax Return to notify Parent in writing of either (a) any objection to such draft Tax Return or (b) the Shareholders’ Representative’s approval of the draft Tax Return. If the Shareholders’ Representative fails to provide written notice to Parent within such twenty-day time period, the Shareholders’ Representative shall be conclusively treated as having approved of such Tax Return for all purposes hereunder. In the event the Shareholders’ Representative timely notifies Parent of any objection with respect to a draft Tax Return, Parent shall consider in good faith the Shareholders’ Representative’s comments to such draft Tax Return. Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative shall attempt in good faith to resolve all disputed items and amounts. If Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative are unable to resolve any disagreement within thirty (30) days of Parent’s receipt of the written notice of objection, the unresolved disputes shall be referred to the Arbiter for resolution; provided, however, that in the event that any disputed items cannot be resolved by the Due Date for filing the applicable Tax Return, the applicable Tax Return shall be filed by such Due Date reflecting Parent’s position with respect to such disputed items and shall, if necessary, be amended promptly after resolution of the dispute to reflect such resolution. The Parties shall promptly comply with all reasonable requests by the Arbiter for information, books, records and similar items. The fees and expenses of the Arbiter shall be paid (i) one-half by the Shareholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Company Shareholders) to the extent funds are available in the Shareholders’ Representative Expense Fund, and thereafter paid out of the Post-Closing Escrow Amount, on the one hand, and (ii) one-half by Parent, on the other hand.

(p)    Tax Payments. Parent shall timely pay or cause to be paid to the appropriate Taxing Authority an amount equal to the total Liability for Taxes shown to be due and payable on any Tax Return to be filed pursuant to Section 8.1(a). In connection with the filing of such Tax Returns, the Post-Closing Escrow Amount shall be reduced by, and Parent, Company, or a Company Subsidiary as appropriate, shall receive, an amount equal to the portion of such foregoing Taxes that constitute Shareholder Taxes.

(q)    Amendments to Tax Returns. Unless otherwise required by applicable Laws, Company Shareholders will not file or cause to be filed any amended Tax Returns for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, for any Straddle Period without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Unless otherwise required by applicable Laws, Parent will not file or cause or allow to be filed any amended Tax Returns for Company or any Company Subsidiary for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period without the prior written consent of the Shareholders’ Representative, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

r)    Company Shareholder Transfer Taxes. Company Shareholders shall, at the expense of Company Shareholders, prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all Transfer Taxes applicable to Company Shareholders.

Section 8.2    Cooperation. After the Closing, until expiration of the statutes of limitation applicable for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods, Company Shareholders, Parent, and Company shall (and Parent shall cause Company, each Company Subsidiary, and their Affiliates to) cooperate fully with each other, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns pursuant to Section 8.1 and any Tax Proceeding. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the request of a Party) the provision of records and information in their possession that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return (including all information necessary or appropriate for purposes of preparing and filing any reports due under Section 6043 or Section 6043A of the Code) or Tax Proceeding, and making employees who are reasonably knowledgeable available on a reasonable, mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Parties shall retain all material books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to Company and each Company Subsidiary for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period until the later of (i) the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation for the particular taxable period, or (ii) seven (7) years following the due date for the applicable Tax Return, and shall abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority with respect to Company and each Company Subsidiary. The Shareholders’ Representative shall, and shall cause his representatives to, keep any information obtained under this Section 8.2 confidential except (a) as may be reasonably necessary in connection with the conduct or defense of any Tax Proceeding, or (b) with Parent’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

Section 8.3    Additional Agreements.

(e)    Tax Sharing Arrangements. Except with respect to the Grace Agreements, on the Closing Date, any Tax sharing agreement or other similar arrangement to which Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party shall be terminated and have no further effect for any taxable year or period (whether a past, present or future year or period), and no additional payments shall be made thereunder on or after the Closing Date in respect of redetermination of Tax Liabilities or otherwise.

(f)    Refunds. Any refund of Taxes received by Parent, Company, or any Company Subsidiary (or any of their respective Affiliates), and any amounts credited against Taxes to which Parent, Company, or any Company Subsidiary (or any of their respective Affiliates) become entitled, after the Closing Date (whether pursuant to Section 8.1(d) or otherwise) shall be solely for the account of Parent (and neither the Company Shareholders nor any of their Affiliates at such time shall have any interest therein); provided, however, that any refund of, or credit against, Shareholder Taxes received within the Survival Period shall be offset against any then outstanding or subsequent Claim that Parent may have for reimbursement of any Shareholder Taxes, except to the extent that such refund or credit was taken into account directly or indirectly for purposes of determining the Final Aggregate Merger Consideration.

(g)    Further Actions. The Company Shareholders, Parent, Company and Company Subsidiaries (pursuant to direction of Parent) shall, upon request, use reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Taxing Authority or other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce, or eliminate any Company Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

(h)    Tax Treatment of Merger. Each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that its understanding and intention is that the Merger will be treated as a taxable acquisition of the Company Common Stock by Parent for US federal income tax purposes in accordance with Section 338(d)(3) of the Code and Revenue Ruling 90-95. Each Party will report the Merger in accordance with the foregoing understanding and intention for all purposes except as otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

Section 8.4    Adjustment to Final Aggregate Merger Consideration. Any payment under Article VII, this Article VIII, or any other indemnification provisions of this Agreement, to the extent such payment can be

properly so characterized under applicable Law, shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Final Aggregate Merger Consideration.

Section 9.1    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Merger may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time as follows:

(c)    by mutual written consent of the Company and Parent;

(d)    by the Company or Parent, if the Merger shall not have been consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Execution Date (the “Final Termination Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Merger to be consummated by such date;

(e)    by the Company or Parent, if any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger;

(f)    by Parent, if at any time there shall have been a breach in any material respect of any of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement or a breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Company that would cause the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b), (treating such time of breach as if it were the Closing for purposes of applying this Section 9.1(d)) not to be satisfied, in each case which has not been cured (if curable) within the first to occur of (i) the Final Termination Date or (ii) thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such breach;

(g)    by the Company, if there shall have been a breach in any material respect of any of the covenants or agreements on the part of Parent or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement or a breach of any of the representations and warranties of Parent and Merger Sub that would cause the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.3(a) or Section 6.3(b), (treating such time of breach as if it were the Closing for purposes of applying this Section 9.1(e)) not to be satisfied, in each case which has not been cured (if curable) within the first to occur of (i) the Final Termination Date or (ii) thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such breach;

(h)    by Parent, if the Company shall have materially breached any of the provisions of Section 5.2 and such breach has not been cured (if curable) within five (5) Business Days after receipt of written notice of such breach; and

(i)    by Parent, by providing written notice of termination in accordance with Section 5.8.

Section 9.2    Effect of Termination.

(i)    In the event of termination of this Agreement by the Parties pursuant to Section 9.1, this Agreement (other than Section 5.3(e), Section 10.1(c), Section 10.13, and this Section 9.2)) shall become void and of no effect with no Liability on the part of any party hereto (or any of its Affiliates or representatives), except as expressly provided in this Section 9.2.

(j)    In the event of termination of this Agreement by the Parties pursuant to Sections 9.1(a) (mutual consent) or by either Party pursuant to Section 9.1(b) (failure to close by the Final Termination Date) or Section 9.1(c) (government order), Parent, the Company and the Shareholders’ Representative shall cause the Escrow Agent to distribute the Deposit (and any interest or income earned thereon) to Parent, which monies shall become the sole property of Parent, and the Company and Shareholders’ Representative shall have no further rights with respect thereto, and each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses relating to this Agreement.

(k)    In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 9.1(d) (Company breach), or by Parent pursuant to Section 9.1(g) (Supplemental Disclosure) or Section 9.1(f) (Company breach of non-solicitation provisions), then the Shareholders’ Representative, the Company and Parent shall cause the Escrow Agent to distribute the Deposit (together with any interest or income earned thereon) to Parent, and the Company shall pay Parent, as its sole and exclusive remedy, a fee equal to (a) $5.0 million, if such termination occurs prior to termination or expiration of the HSR Act waiting period, or (b) $7.5 million, if such termination occurs after the HSR Act waiting period is terminated or expires (in either case, the “Termination Fee”), and each party shall bear its own costs and expenses relating to this Agreement; provided, however, in the event of a dispute regarding the payment of the Termination Fee which is submitted to arbitration or a suit is filed to resolve the dispute, the prevailing party shall be entitled to payment of its fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such proceeding or suit. Parent acknowledges and agrees that the remedies provided in this Section 9.2(c) shall be its sole and exclusive remedies with respect to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to the Sections referred to in the first sentence of this Section 9.2(c). For avoidance of doubt, Parent shall not be entitled to payment of the Termination Fee if (a) this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than those set forth in the first sentence of this Section 9.2(c), including without limitation termination resulting from (i) the failure of the applicable Governmental Authorities to terminate the HSR Waiting Period, or (ii) the Governmental Authorities issue an order enjoining the Merger, or (b) Parent does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Sections 9.1(d) or 9.1(f) and obtains specific performance of this Agreement.

(l)    In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(e), or if Parent fails to consummate the Merger in breach of its obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to retain the Deposit (and any interest or income earned thereon) as liquidated damages and not as a penalty. In such event, Parent, the Company and the Shareholders’ Representative shall cause the Escrow Agent to distribute the Deposit (and any interest or income earned thereon) to the Company, which monies shall become the sole property of the Company, and Parent shall have no further rights with respect thereto. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the actual damages to the Company and the Company Shareholders resulting from Parent’s failure to close or other breach of this Agreement would be extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain, and, therefore, each Party acknowledges and agrees the liquidated damages to be paid by Parent pursuant to this Section 9.2 constitute a reasonable estimate of actual damages to the Company and the Company Shareholders in such situation, and each Party shall accept same as liquidated damages which shall be deemed to have been suffered by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any dispute regarding the release of the Deposit is submitted to arbitration or a suit if filed to resolve the dispute, the prevailing party shall be entitled to payment of its fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such proceeding or suit.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article X to the contrary, neither the Shareholders’ Representative’s right to rely on advice of counsel or other Persons nor its right to seek advice and concurrence of Company Shareholders shall in any way eliminate or modify (i) any rights or remedies of Parent or Merger Sub under this Agreement or (ii) any obligations or liabilities of the Shareholders’ Representative to Parent or Merger Sub under this Agreement.

(o)    By approving this Agreement, the Company Shareholders hereby agree to indemnify the Shareholders’ Representative (in his capacity as such) and his agents and other representatives ratably according to their respective ownership percentages, and to hold the Shareholders’ Representative (in his capacity as such) and his agents and other representatives harmless from, any and all Losses of whatever kind which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against the Shareholders’ Representative and his agents and other representatives in such capacity in any way relating to or arising out of his action or failures to take action pursuant to this Agreement or any related document or agreement or in connection herewith or therewith in such capacity.

Thereafter, Company Shareholders representing a majority of the aggregate ownership percentages of all Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall select a new Shareholders’ Representative by written consent signed by such majority.

The Shareholders’ Representative from time to time may withdraw monies from the Shareholders’ Representative Expense Fund to pay the costs and expenses incurred by the Shareholders’ Representative in performing his duties as Shareholders’ Representative hereunder, provided, that in no event shall the Shareholders’ Representative be entitled to receive any payment from the Shareholders’ Representative Expense Fund as compensation for the performance of his duties hereunder. Upon release to Parent or the Company Shareholders of any and all remaining portions of the Post-Closing Escrow Amount to which they then may be entitled, the Shareholders’ Representative may elect either (i) to disburse the then-remaining balance of the Shareholders’ Representative Expense Fund, if any (the “Shareholders’ Representative Expense Fund Residual”), to the Company Shareholders in accordance with their respective ownership of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, or (ii) to hold such then-remaining balance in an account, for the benefit of the Company Shareholders, and apply the same to the costs and expenses incurred by the Shareholders’ Representative in performing his duties as Shareholders’ Representative hereunder.
