Sprague Resources Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sprague Holdings”), the general partner of the Partnership and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Axel Johnson Inc., a Delaware corporation, currently holds all the Incentive Distribution Rights in the Partnership. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined in this letter shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms under the Partnership Agreement. The undersigned parties hereby agree that: 1. If and to the extent that the Board of Directors declares a cash distribution in respect of the Quarter ended December 31, 2019, in lieu of a distribution in cash in respect of such Quarter in respect of the Incentive Distribution Rights held by Sprague Holdings, the Partnership shall issue to Sprague Holdings, and Sprague Holdings shall accept, a number of Common Units, which Common Units shall constitute satisfaction in full of the distribution in respect of the Incentive Distribution Rights for such Quarter, which, in the aggregate, have a Market Value that is equivalent to the amount of the cash distribution that Sprague Holdings would have been otherwise entitled to receive in respect of the Incentive Distribution Rights in respect of such Quarter pursuant to the Partnership Agreement. For purposes of this Letter Agreement and the determination hereunder of the number of Common Units to be issued to Sprague Holdings, the “Market Value” of the Common Units shall be computed based upon the lesser of an incentive distribution rights cash payment of $2,055,252 divided by the market price on close of business on 1/23/20 or the


 
number of units based on the 10-day volume weighted average price ending 12/31/19. No fractional Units shall be issued pursuant to this Letter Agreement, and Sprague Holdings shall receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares that may otherwise result under this Paragraph 1. 2. The Partnership shall issue to Sprague Holdings the number of Common Units as set forth in Paragraph 1 above (and make a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares, if any) on the date that payment is made to the holders of Common Units of the cash distribution with respect to the Quarter ended December 31, 2019.
