(b) Upon written request by Seller, in connection with any request to Seller from any Governmental Authority or in response to any Third Party Claim, Buyer shall provide Seller copies of all reports, correspondence, notices and communications sent or received from Governmental Authorities regarding the Environmental Condition of the Terminals or any remediation and/or investigation at the Terminals related to the Baseline Condition or other copies of all reports, correspondence, notices and communications sent to or received from third parties concerning conditions that would obligate (financially or otherwise) Seller.

7.9 Other Environmental Issues and Related Use Restrictions.

(a) Buyer acknowledges that the Terminals have been used for the storage, disposal, sale, and transfer of petroleum products or derivatives and Seller hereby advises Buyer that (i) releases of such products into the soil have occurred from time to time in the past; and (ii) the Terminals have contaminated subsurface conditions. Any warranty, covenant or provision in the Deed from Seller to Buyer with respect to the Terminals do not, nor will it be deemed to, extend or apply to any release or presence of petroleum products, derivatives, or any other type of contaminant on, in, under, or about the Terminals including, but not limited to, the surface area, size, and location of such substances and/or the description of the types of contaminants contained therein.

As part of the consideration for the sale of the Terminals, Buyer for itself, its successors and permitted assigns, covenants and agrees that neither the Real Property, nor any part thereof shall at any time be used for any of the following specifically listed facilities or uses, or any similar facility or use: (1) any residential use, (2) any purpose that would constitute a "Permitted Use" under any of the "residence" or "residential" zones, districts, or classifications set forth in any applicable municipal, county or state zoning laws in effect on the date of the Special Warranty Deed, (3) any school or other educational facility, (4) any group day-care center, child care center, nursery, nursing home, rehabilitation or convalescent facility or other facility which is intended to house or provide care for children, the elderly or the infirm, (5) any playground or recreational park, (6) any health care clinic, hospital or other medical facility, (7) any place of worship, (8) any agricultural use, or (9) any handling of fresh food.

In addition, Buyer agrees that it will not at any time construct or install any basements or any water xxxxx for any purpose (collectively the "Use Restrictions"). Any water xxxxx found on the property by Buyer will be plugged in accordance with State or Local regulations. Buyer also agrees to implement and maintain any institutional controls on the property that either are or may be required by Federal, State or Local agencies.

Buyer agrees that these covenants and agreements shall survive the Closing; that these covenants and agreements are to run with the Real Property; that these Use Restrictions and the agreement to evaluate and utilize, if required, engineering and institutional controls as set forth in Exhibit H will be inserted in the Special Warranty Deed to be delivered at the Closing and that similar restrictive covenants shall be inserted in any deed, lease or other instrument conveying or

demising the Real Property or any part thereof. Furthermore, Buyer for itself, its successors and permitted assigns agrees to execute any documents required by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Terminals that are consistent with the above Use Restrictions.

(b) The material terms and provisions of this Agreement, and all test information, reports and other materials concerning the environmental or other condition of the Terminals provided by Seller to Buyer shall be maintained by Buyer and its Authorized Representatives as confidential, other than any such information (i) that is in the public domain through a source other than Buyer, or (ii) that is compelled in any judicial, administrative, regulatory or arbitration proceeding or otherwise required by law or by a governmental authority. Buyer may, however, share environmental information under a comparable confidentiality agreement with any affiliated companies, consultant, lender, insurance carrier, tenant, potential subsequent purchasers of the Terminals or a potential joint venture owner of the Terminals or other third parties.

(c) If Closing does not occur within the time required by this Agreement, or upon earlier termination of this Agreement, then upon Seller's request, Buyer shall promptly deliver to Seller all originals and copies (whether written or electronic) that are in Buyer's or its Authorized Representatives' possession of the information, reports, or materials including specifically those concerning the environmental or other condition of the Terminals together with all information, reports, or material furnished to Buyer by Seller, and Buyer shall promptly cause third parties to deliver to Seller such materials that are in their possession.

(e) Seller's responsibilities in this Article VII shall inure to the benefit of Buyer solely and do not transfer to Buyer's heirs and assigns. In the event Seller agrees to the transfer and assignment of Seller's responsibilities in this Article VII, which agreement shall only be effective if provided in writing by Seller, Buyer's obligations under this Article VII shall be incorporated into any lease or subsequent sales agreement for the Terminals and any tenant or subsequent buyer shall be required to fulfill all obligations of Buyer set forth in this Article VII. In no event shall Buyer's obligations under this Article VII terminate upon the lease or sale of all or a portion of the Terminals. Any attempt to assign Seller's responsibilities in this Article VII without the express prior written approval of Seller as set forth above shall be void and of no effect.

(f) Buyer and Seller shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects as to the transfer or assignment of the Environmental Permits or Orders that can be transferred or assigned under applicable Environmental Laws and the making of any filings or notifications or obtaining any authorizations required under applicable Environmental Laws in connection with the transfer of the Terminals to Buyer. Seller shall take the lead on all initial notifications to applicable Governmental Authorities requesting such transfer or assignment of any Environmental Permits or Orders. Buyer will be given an opportunity to review such submissions and will receive final copies of all such initial notifications at the time transmitted to the Governmental Authorities. Buyer, however, shall be solely responsible for all subsequent communications and filings needed to follow through and complete the timely transfer or assignment of such Environmental Permits or Orders. If the assignment of any Environmental Permit is denied by the applicable Governmental Authority, Exhibit R-1, R-2 and of this Agreement will be deemed automatically amended, and Buyer shall apply for the issuance of a new Environmental Permit as soon as reasonably possible. With respect to any Environmental Permits or Orders issued under applicable Environmental Laws prior to the Closing Date and Buyer's obligations for Remediation Activities, Seller and Buyer, within ten (10) calendar days after the Closing Date shall submit a joint letter to each applicable Governmental Authority acknowledging that Buyer is assuming the obligations of Seller under such

Order and/or Remediation Activities, such letter to be substantially in the form of Exhibit Q. Along with the joint letter and with respect to obligations for Remediation Activities set forth in such joint letter that Buyer is assuming, Buyer shall also execute and deliver to Seller the Release Agreement for remediation liability for all Environmental Conditions in the form of Exhibit S.

(g) As between Buyer and Seller, Buyer and Seller shall share equally in all filing costs and administrative expenses associated with such transfer or assignment of any Environmental Permits or Orders pursuant to this Agreement. Buyer, however, shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses relating to or arising out of any change in terms or conditions of such Environmental Permits or Orders resulting from any transfer, assignment or reissuance of such Environmental Permits or Orders to Buyer, except for any such costs and expenses related to or arising out of Seller's non-compliance with such Environmental Permits or Orders. With respect to those Environmental Permits or Orders that cannot be transferred or assigned under applicable Environmental Laws, Buyer will use reasonable efforts at Buyer's cost and expense to obtain new permits or orders.

(h) After the Closing Date, Buyer shall be solely responsible for the filing of any post-Closing reports or notices required by any Governmental Authority regardless of whether the reporting period began or occurred prior to the Closing Date (as long as the required submission deadline for such reports or notices is not prior to the Closing Date). Such reports may include, but are not limited to, Annual Air Emissions Report, Air Permit reports (excluding Title V semi-annual and annual certifications, which are addressed below), XXXX 313 Form R Reports, annual hazardous waste reports, gasoline maximum achievable control technology (GMACT) certifications and ground water monitoring reports required under state above ground storage tank regulations. At least 10 days prior to the Closing Date, Seller will provide Buyer with a listing of all such material reports and notices required to be filed with any Governmental Authority that are due within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date. Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall provide to Buyer records relating to operation of the Terminals through the Closing Date needed to complete all such material reports. As to any information that must be provided to any Governmental Authority as part of a routine report submitted in relation to a Title V semi-annual or annual certification, if the Closing Date occurs during the required reporting period, each Party agrees to be responsible and liable for the collection, compilation and submission of such certification with respect to that portion of the reporting period falling under such Party's ownership. Each Party shall cooperate fully with the other and shall provide the other Party with reasonable access to its employees and files to the extent necessary or appropriate to assist the other Party in preparing its report. In the event that the Closing Date occurs on or after the end of the required reporting period but before such report is due, Seller will be responsible and liable for the collection, compilation and submission of such report as it concerns Seller's operation of the Terminals. In that instance, Buyer shall cooperate fully with Seller and shall provide Seller with reasonable access to Buyer's employees and files to the extent necessary or appropriate to assist Seller in preparing the report. Buyer shall be solely responsible and liable for all subsequently submitted reports.

7.10 Arbitration Procedures. Except as otherwise provided herein, any dispute between the Parties under this Article VII shall be resolved by arbitration in Fairfax, Virginia in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association and subject to the provisions of this Section 7.10.

(a) If good faith efforts to resolve any such dispute fail, either Party may commence arbitration after thirty (30) days written notice of that Party's intent to commence arbitration. Seller shall appoint one arbitrator and Buyer shall appoint one arbitrator. The two arbitrators so appointed shall select a third arbitrator. All arbitrators for non-engineering disputes must be licensed attorneys. If either Seller or Buyer fails to appoint an arbitrator within twenty (20) days after a request for such an appointment is made by the other Party in writing, or if the arbitrators

so appointed fail within twenty (20) days after the appointment of the second of them to agree on a third arbitrator, the arbitrator or arbitrators necessary to complete a panel of three arbitrators shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association upon application thereto by either Party.

(b) The panel so constituted shall fix a reasonable time and place for a hearing of the dispute. Each of the Parties shall submit to the panel of arbitrators at the hearing such party's proposed resolution of the dispute, together with such supporting evidence as such Party may desire to present to the panel of arbitrators. The panel of arbitrators shall consider only the proposed resolutions and evidence as presented by the Parties.

(c) Within thirty (30) days of such hearing, the panel of arbitrators shall select the proposed resolution presented by a Party that most closely achieves the intention of the parties as expressed in this Article VII. The Panel must choose either the resolution of the dispute proposed by Buyer or the resolution of the dispute proposed by Seller. The panel of arbitrators is not empowered to select a compromise of any kind between either proposal. If more than one dispute is between the arbitrators at any one time, the arbitrators shall resolve each such dispute independently of the other dispute.

(d) The action of a majority of the members of the panel of arbitrators shall govern and their decision in writing shall be final and binding on the Parties.

(e) All arbitrators appointed under this procedure shall be disinterested individuals who are not and never have been officers, directors, employees, consultants, or attorneys of Seller or of Buyer or of any of Seller's or Buyer's Affiliates. Such individuals must be experienced in the environmental aspects of the petroleum and chemical industries and competent to pass judgment on the issues in dispute. The losing Party shall bear all reasonable and customary fees and expenses (Seller's and Buyer's) of the entire arbitration process.

9.5 Procedures.

(a) Notice and Tender. In the event that any officer or registered agent of either Party hereto receives actual notice of any written claim by a third person giving rise to a right of indemnification of such Party under this Article IX (the "Indemnitee"), such Indemnitee shall, within sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice, give written notice thereof to the other Party hereto responsible for such indemnification (the "Indemnitor") setting forth the facts and circumstances giving rise to such claim for indemnification and shall tender the defense of such claim to the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitee fails to give such notice and tender such defense within such 60-day period, the Indemnitee shall be solely responsible for any Loss with respect to such claim to the extent they are attributable to such failure; but failure to give such notice and tender such defense within such 60-day period shall not result in a forfeiture or waiver of any rights to indemnification for any Loss with respect to such claim to the extent they are not attributable to such failure.

(b) Defense of Claims. The Indemnitor shall select (subject to the Indemnitee's reasonable approval) the attorneys to defend any matter subject to indemnification and/or taking all actions necessary or appropriate to resolve, defend, and/or settle such matters, and shall be entitled to contest, on its own behalf and on the Indemnitee's behalf, the existence or amount of any obligation, cost, expense, debt or liability giving rise to such claim. Nothing in this Section 9.5(b) should be construed as prohibiting the Indemnitee from participating in the defense (which may include hiring its own counsel) in any matter subject to indemnification, as long as the Indemnitee does so at its own expense. The Indemnitor shall keep the Indemnitee fully and timely informed as to actions taken on such matters. The Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor and its counsel and shall provide them reasonable access to the Indemnitee's employees, consultants, agents, attorneys, accountants, and files to the extent necessary or appropriate to defend or resolve the matter, the Indemnitor reimbursing the Indemnitee with respect to the cost of any such access. With respect to any matter for which a Party has an indemnification and/or defense obligation under this Agreement, the Parties shall maintain a joint defense privilege, where applicable, in connection with such matters for the Party's post-Closing communications and those of their respective Affiliates and Authorized Representatives, which post-Closing communications concern the matters subject to such indemnification and/or defense obligation.

(c) Allocation of Indemnification Liability. When any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX results from, relates to, or arises out of the conduct of both Seller and Buyer, the Parties shall indemnify each other in proportion to their respective share of such Loss.

ARTICLE X

10.1 Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made in this Agreement, in any Exhibit or Schedule to this Agreement, or in any document, instrument, agreement or certificate delivered under this Agreement will survive until one year after Closing. At the end of such survival period set forth above, such representations and warranties shall terminate and have no further force and effect.

ARTICLE XI

TITLE COMMITMENT; SURVEY; RISK OF LOSS

11.1 Title Insurance. Buyer will furnish and pay the premium for a standard title insurance policy issued by the Title Company in an amount equal to the portion of the Purchase Price that is allocated to the Real Property and Improvements, naming Buyer as the proposed insured. Subject to Permitted Title Exceptions, copies of which shall be provided to Buyer within ten (10) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer at the Closing title insurable by the Title Company at standard rates. Any abstracting, title certification, and charges for title examination will be at Buyer's expense. Buyer shall cause the Title Company to deliver to Buyer, with a copy to Seller, a title commitment setting forth the status of title to the Property on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the Effective Date (the "Title Commitment").

11.2 Survey. Buyer shall cause to be prepared at its expense a current ALTA land title survey of the Property ("Survey"), by a duly licensed land surveyor and professional engineer satisfactory to the Title Company. The Survey shall be completed within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. Upon completion of the Survey, Buyer shall deliver promptly three (3) prints thereof to Seller and at least one (1) print to the Title Company. The Survey will (i) show the location of all streets, roads, railroads, creeks or other water courses, fences, easements, rights-of-way and other encumbrances or encroachments on or adjacent to the Property, including all of the title matters shown on the Title Commitment and (ii) set forth a certified legal description of the Property.

11.3 Title Objections. Within fifteen (15) days after receiving the later of the Title Commitment or the Survey, Buyer shall notify Seller if the Title Commitment or Survey reveals any liens, encumbrances, claims or exceptions (including, without limitation, any matters set forth on Schedule 5.4) that, in Buyer's reasonable judgment, are unacceptable ("Title Objections"). If Seller is unable or unwilling to cure any Title Objections, Seller will provide written notice thereof to Buyer within fifteen (15) days following receipt of notice of Title Objections from Buyer and Buyer shall have the right, at its option, by written notice to Seller within fifteen (15) days following receipt of Seller's written notice, either (i) to terminate this Agreement and obtain a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money and all interest thereon, whereafter both Parties shall be relieved and discharged of any rights, liabilities or obligations hereunder, or (ii) to waive such defect and proceed to Closing. Buyer's failure to exercise the right to terminate within the said fifteen (15) day period shall constitute a waiver of Buyer's right to terminate with respect to such title matters. However, if Seller elects to cure the Title Objections

(although Seller will have no such obligation to do so), Seller shall provide Buyer with notice of its intention to cure same within the fifteen (15) days aforesaid and Seller shall have an opportunity, at its expense, to remove such Title Objections within sixty (60) days following receipt of written notice from Buyer identifying the Title Objections (the "Title Cure Period"). In no event shall Seller have any obligation to commence litigation or to incur costs in excess of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) to cure or remove any Title Objections. If Seller is unable to cure any Title Objections within the Title Cure Period that, in the reasonable opinion of the Title Company or Buyer, must be cured in order to deliver good and marketable title, Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, and upon written notice to Seller within fifteen (15) days after expiration of the Title Cure Period, terminate this Agreement, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be fully refunded to Buyer. Any changes to the Title Commitment or the Survey prior to the Closing and subsequent to the Buyer's receipt of the Title Commitment or Survey will be subject to the Title Objections procedures of this Section 11.3, commencing as of the date Buyer obtains knowledge of such change.

11.4 Risk of Loss. Risk of loss with respect to the Terminals shall be borne by Seller until Closing. The risk of loss of the Terminals shall pass to the Buyer at Closing.

ARTICLE XII

FURTHER ASSURANCE

From time to time after Closing, Seller and Buyer shall, upon request of the other and without further consideration, execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments of transfer, conveyance or assumption and such other documents as Seller or Buyer may reasonably request more effectively to vest in Buyer the right and title to, interest in and enjoyment of, the Terminals or to carry out the transactions and agreements contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Seller shall be responsible for the cost of Terminals utilities up to Closing and Buyer shall be responsible for such costs thereafter.

(d) Buyer shall bear and pay all title insurance premiums and charges.

(e) All realty transfer fees, recording costs and transfer Taxes associated with the conveyance of the Real Property, the Improvements and the Personal Property will be shared equally by both Parties.

(h) The Parties shall make all other adjustments necessary to effectuate the intent of the Parties as set forth in this Agreement.

13.3 Timing of Adjustments. All monetary adjustments necessary to achieve the allocations specified in Section 13.2, to the extent reasonably practicable, shall be made at the Closing. To the extent any such adjustments cannot be made at the Closing, the same shall be made after the Closing as and when complete information becomes available.
