In addition, Seller shall retain full responsibility (regardless of the timing of any related claim) for the following Liabilities (“Permanently Retained Liabilities”): (i) any Third Party Actions (which shall include employees of Seller relating to periods on or prior to the Closing) that have been brought as of the Closing Date, or within one (1) year after the Closing Date with respect to Pre-Closing Retained Liabilities; and (ii) all Liabilities arising out of, based on, relating to or associated with (A) any indebtedness, indenture, mortgage, loan, credit agreement, sale leaseback, or guaranty of any of the foregoing, or security agreement, bond, letter of credit, pledge or similar financial agreement of Seller or any of its Affiliates, (B) any employee benefit, defined benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Seller or any of its ERISA Affiliates, or to which Seller or any of its ERISA Affiliates was obligated to contribute at any time prior to the Closing, (C) any employee, former employee, independent contractor or consultant of or to Seller or any of its Affiliates associated with any existing or future asbestos claims or any labor or employment practice, act or omission or other practice, act or omission arising from or relating to an employment or statutory employment relationship to the extent relating to periods on or prior to the Closing Date, (D) any collective bargaining agreement to which Seller or any of its Affiliates is a party or is bound on or prior to the Closing Date, (E) all Seller Taxes and (F) Seller’s Closing Costs.

Any Third Party Actions that are brought more than one (1) year after the Closing Date in respect of Pre-Closing Retained Liabilities shall be deemed to be “Assumed Liabilities”.

The Bargain and Sale Deed contains restrictions (referenced in the Bargain and Sale Deed as the “Property Use Limitations and Obligations”) on present and future uses of the Facility. By execution of the Bargain and Sale Deed, Buyer agrees and concurs with all of the terms set forth in said Bargain and Sale Deed including the Property Use Limitations and Obligations on current and future use of the Facility by Buyer, its successors and assigns.

PURCHASE PRICE; PAYMENTS; AND ADJUSTMENTS

3.1 Assets Purchase Price and Deposit. As consideration for the sale of the Assets, Buyer shall pay to Seller or its designee at the Closing the sum of Two Hundred Sixty Million and No/100 Dollars (US $260,000,000) (the “Assets Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.3, Section 3.6, Section 8.1(c), Section 8.1(e) and Section 8.3(a). Buyer, Seller and the Title Company have, contemporaneously herewith, entered into that certain Escrow Account Agreement (the “Escrow Account Agreement”). On the Effective Date, Buyer shall, in accordance with the Escrow Account Agreement, deliver to the Title Company as “Escrow Agent”, a deposit of an amount equal to Fourteen Million and No/100 Dollars ($14,000,000) (the “Deposit”). The Deposit shall be made in U.S. dollars by transfer of immediately available funds. Title Company shall, on the terms set forth in the Escrow Account Agreement, deposit the Deposit in a federally-insured interest-bearing account permitting immediate withdrawal without a penalty in U.S. Bank National Association. If the Closing occurs, the principal amount of the Deposit shall be credited against the Assets Purchase Price, and except as otherwise provided herein, interest earned on the Deposit shall be credited to the Assets Purchase Price at Closing. If the Closing does not occur, the Deposit and interest thereon shall be applied pursuant to Section 4.2 below; provided, however, if Buyer is entitled to have the Deposit returned to Buyer pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, One Hundred Dollars ($100) of the Deposit shall nevertheless be paid to Seller as good and sufficient consideration for entering into this Agreement. In addition, Seller acknowledges that Buyer, in evaluating the Assets and performing its due diligence investigation of the Assets, will devote internal resources and incur expenses, and that such efforts and expenses of Buyer also constitute good, valuable and sufficient consideration for this Agreement. The Assets Purchase Price, minus the Deposit

and all interest accrued thereon, shall be paid at the Closing in U.S. Dollars by transfer of immediately available funds by or on behalf of Buyer to Title Company’s Bank Account. Where a party is, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, entitled to all or any portion of the Deposit and/or interest accrued thereon, both parties shall promptly (and in any event, within ten business days) issue a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent directing it to disburse the proper amount to the party designated in such joint written instruction. The Escrow Agent shall, except as otherwise specified in the Escrow Account Agreement, be permitted to disburse the Deposit and interest accrued thereon only in accordance with joint written instructions of Buyer and Seller.

3.2 Allocation of Assets Purchase Price.

(a) Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree to an allocation of the Assets Purchase Price, Assumed Liabilities, and any other items constituting consideration for applicable income Tax purposes (to the extent known at such time) among the Assets that complies with Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder as soon as commercially practicable (but in any event by the Closing Date (the “Allocation”)). If Buyer and Seller are unable to agree on an Allocation by the Closing Date, each of Buyer and Seller shall use its own allocation of the Asset Purchase Price. If Seller and Buyer reach an agreement with respect to the Allocation, (i) the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to update the Allocation in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code following any adjustment to the Asset Purchase Price pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) Seller and Buyer shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, report consistently with the Allocation in all Tax Returns, including IRS Form 8594, which Buyer and Seller shall timely file with the IRS, and neither Seller nor Buyer shall take any position in any Tax Return that is inconsistent with the Allocation, as adjusted, in each case, unless required to do so by a final determination as defined in Section 1313 of the Internal Revenue Code. Each of Seller and Buyer agree to promptly advise each other regarding the existence of any Tax audit, controversy or litigation related to the Allocation.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.2(a), not later than ten (10) days prior to Closing, (i) Buyer shall deliver to Seller its third party appraisal of the Assets and (ii) Seller shall determine in its sole discretion without regard to Buyer’s appraisal the amount of consideration allocable to the Real Property for the purpose of including such amount in the Bargain and Sale Deed, which shall be the presumed consideration set forth on such Bargain and Sale Deed (which consideration, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not for purposes of this Section 3.2(b) include the Seller Retained Option Property or the Seller Retained Wetlands Property), and shall provide Buyer with written notice thereof, it being understood and agreed that neither Buyer nor Seller shall, for purposes of Section 3.2(a), be bound by any amount set forth in the appraisal described in clause (i), or by Seller’s determination pursuant to clause (ii). Buyer and Seller shall agree to use that allocation derived pursuant to Section 3.2(b) for the purposes of completing New Jersey Form RTF-1 (Affidavit of Consideration for use by Seller) and RTF-1EE (Affidavit of Consideration for use by Buyer).

3.3 Prorations; Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a) Prorations. Subject to Article 11 below, all prepayments, rents, current Property Taxes (referenced, and as provided for, in Section 11.4 of this Agreement), salaries, assessments, utilities, maintenance charges and similar expenses associated with the Assets and customarily prorated in transactions of this type in the City of Perth Amboy, County of Middlesex, State of New Jersey, including, without limitation, those certain expense items listed and described in Schedule 14 attached to this Agreement (collectively, the “Prorated Items”) shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date using the best evidence as is then available. Seller and Buyer hereby agree that if figures for the year of Closing (in the case of prorated items due and payable on a yearly basis) or if figures for the week of Closing or the month of Closing (in the case of any prorated items due and payable on a monthly or weekly basis) are not available as of the Closing Date, that the best evidence then available shall be the figures for the year, month, or week prior to Closing, as the case may be.

(b) Post-Closing Adjustments. Except for mathematical mistakes in the calculation of any proration or any other mistake of fact or mutual mistake in connection with any Prorated Items, the proration (i) for Property Taxes shall be determined as provided in Section 11.4 hereof and (ii) for all other Prorated Items other than Property Taxes (the “Remaining Prorated Items”), shall be adjusted post-Closing in accordance with this Section 3.4(b). A final determination of post-Closing adjustments for the Remaining Prorated Items shall be made in good faith by Buyer and shall be set forth in a settlement statement (the “Proration Settlement Statement”) prepared by Buyer and delivered to Seller not later than sixty (60) days after the Closing. The final accounting for each Remaining Prorated Item shall be determined using the final, actual amount of such Remaining Prorated Item for the period of time prorated, and the Proration Settlement Statement shall (i) contain all information reasonably necessary to support the final accounting and (ii) be certified by an authorized officer of Buyer to be true, correct and complete as of the date thereof. If the final, actual amount for any Remaining Prorated Item is not available at the time of the preparation and delivery of the Proration Settlement Statement, Buyer shall so advise Seller, and Buyer shall provide a separate Proration Settlement Statement for any such Remaining Prorated Item(s) within a reasonable time after the final, actual amounts become available. The party owing any amounts (the “Payor”) on the Proration Settlement Statement shall pay all such amounts to the other party (the “Payee”) within fifteen (15) days after Seller’s receipt of the Proration Settlement Statement. Any amounts owing pursuant to the Proration Settlement Statement and not paid within such fifteen (15) day period shall bear interest from the due date until paid at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.

(c) Post-Closing Adjustments for Mistakes. If either Buyer or Seller shall discover or determine within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date that any proration made as of the Closing Date was mathematically incorrect when made or that any other mistake of fact or mutual mistake occurred with respect to any proration, then the discovering party shall notify the other party in writing of any such mistake and provide such other party with all information reasonably necessary to give notice of any mistake with specificity. If the party receiving such notice does not agree with the discovering party, then such party shall notify the discovering party of its objections within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the notice of mistake from discovering party. The Payor owing any undisputed amounts necessary to correct any mistake shall pay the Payee promptly. With respect to any disputed amounts, the parties shall reasonably attempt to resolve the dispute within a reasonable amount of time but no later than forty-five (45) days after the receipt of the discovering party’s notice by the other party. If the parties fail to resolve the dispute in the specified time, then the foregoing determination shall be made by a partner or manager or representative of a major U.S. accounting firm acceptable to Seller and Buyer (an “Acceptable Accountant”), which determination shall be final and conclusive. For purposes of making the foregoing determination, a certified public accountant who is also a partner in one of the following accounting firms shall be deemed an Acceptable Accountant: KPMG, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, or Ernst & Young. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.3(c), any current auditor of any Affiliate of Buyer or Seller that is a publicly traded company (including, without limitation, Chevron) shall not be deemed to be an Acceptable Accountant for purposes of this Section 3.3(c).

3.4 Seller’s Closing Costs. Seller shall pay the cost of recording any corrective instruments as to the fee title and Seller’s own attorneys’, representatives’, advisors’ and similar fees (collectively, “Seller’s Closing Costs”).

3.5 Buyer’s Closing Costs. Except as otherwise provided herein, Buyer shall pay all other costs and expenses required to be paid at Closing in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby including, without limitation, the costs of documentary stamp tax on the Bargain and Sale Deed, if any, taxes or fees due pursuant to N.J.S.A. 46:15-7.2 (the so-called “mansion tax”), if any, the title premiums charged by the Title Company to issue the Title Policy (including the cost of any endorsement thereto), title examination fees and/or abstracts as well as the cost of the Survey. Buyer also shall be responsible for the cost of recording the Bargain and Sale Deed, any intangible tax on any note and mortgage placed on the Assets by Buyer, recording fees of the mortgage placed on the Assets by Buyer, mortgagee’s title insurance in connection with any note and mortgage placed on the Assets by Buyer, document preparation charges for all documents executed in connection with this Agreement or as part of the Closing except for the Conveyance Documents and other documents or addendums that are attached to this Agreement as exhibits, and Buyer’s attorney’s fees.

3.6 Material Breach Threshold Adjustment. If, pursuant to Section 4.2(c), Buyer enforces specific performance of Seller’s obligations to sell the Assets to Buyer by requiring Seller to cure an applicable material breach, then the Assets Purchase Price shall be adjusted upward at the Closing in the amount of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars (US $2,500,000.00).

ARTICLE 4

CLOSING

4.1 Time, Date, and Place of Closing. Subject to the other terms and provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, Section 8.1(c) of this Agreement, the closing of the purchase and sale of the Assets and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur at Seller’s option by mail in escrow, by Escrow Agent or other escrow agent satisfactory to Seller or at Seller’s offices located at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, on the tenth (10^th) business day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions in Articles 9 and 10 hereto (except for such conditions which by their nature can only be satisfied at the Closing and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions), or on such other date as Seller and Buyer may agree in writing (the “Closing Date”). Seller and Buyer agree time is of the essence hereunder and if the Closing does not occur on or before the Termination Date (as defined below), then either Seller or Buyer, by written notice to the other, may elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.2(a). The Closing, at which execution or delivery of Closing documents and confirmation of transfer of funds takes place, shall commence at 9:00 a.m. Central Daylight or Standard Time, as the case may be, on the Closing Date. Once the Closing has occurred, the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred at 11:59 p.m. Central Daylight or Standard Time, as the case may be, on the Closing Date. Seller and Buyer agree that time is of the essence hereunder. The Termination Date shall mean June 30, 2012 provided however that (i) if the draft HSWA Permit has not been released for public comment on or before March 31, 2012, then the Termination Date shall mean July 31, 2012, and (ii) the Termination Date shall be extended by not more than thirty (30) days to give effect to the cure periods described in Sections 4.2(b) and 4.2(c) as applicable.

4.2

Termination; Consequences of Termination.

(a) If the Closing has not occurred by the Termination Date, either Seller or Buyer, by written notice to the other, may elect to terminate this Agreement; provided that no party may so terminate this Agreement if it is then in default of any of its obligations under this Agreement and provided, further, however, that if the Termination Date is extended pursuant to clause (i) of the definition thereof, Buyer may nevertheless elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.2(a) on or after June 30, 2012 as if the Termination Date were still June 30, 2012. Except as expressly provided otherwise, no termination of this Agreement shall relieve any party hereto of any liability for any breach hereof occurring prior to such termination.

(b) If the Closing does not occur because of a material breach of Buyer’s obligations in this Agreement that (i) is not cured within thirty (30) days following written notice by Seller to Buyer of such breach or (ii) by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the Termination Date, then Seller, by written notice to Buyer, may elect to terminate this Agreement, provided that Seller is not then in default of any of its obligations (which have not been caused or contributed to by Buyer) under this Agreement, and Seller shall retain the Deposit in addition to all interest thereon, as liquidated damages in lieu of all other damages and as Seller’s sole remedy against Buyer for such failure to close. Seller and Buyer agree that the amount of the liquidated damages is reasonable consideration for Seller’s damages, including the value of Seller’s holding the Assets off the market for the period governed by this Agreement, and that the extent of actual damages to Seller occasioned by failure to close would be extremely impracticable to ascertain.

(c) If the Closing does not occur because of a material breach of Seller’s obligations in this Agreement that (i) is not cured within thirty (30) days following written notice by Buyer to Seller of such breach or (ii) by its nature cannot be cured prior to the Termination Date, then Buyer by written notice to Seller may elect to, as its sole and exclusive remedy, either (A) enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations to sell the Assets to Buyer under this Agreement, including at Buyer’s election a cure of such material breach; or (B) by written notice to Seller, terminate this Agreement provided that Buyer is not then in default of any of its obligations under this Agreement (which will have not been caused or contributed to by Seller). If Buyer elects to require Seller to cure any such material breach pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (A), then notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall not, in respect thereof, be required to spend more than Fourteen Million and No/100 Dollars (US $14,000,000.00) of any amounts in excess of the “material breach” threshold set forth in Section 4.2(g); provided that such Fourteen Million and No/100 Dollars (US $14,000,000.00) shall be reduced by any amounts spent by Seller hereunder to fully cure or remediate any Material Discovery, Non-Material Discovery or Material Adverse Change without regard to whether the same is related to the material breach that serves as the basis of Buyer’s election under clause (A). Upon receipt by Seller from Buyer of any written notice that Buyer intends to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.2(c), Seller shall have the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to instead elect to, at its sole expense, undertake to fully cure the applicable material breach without any limit on dollars spent. Seller may exercise such right only by written notice to Buyer within the ten (10) day period following Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s notice of desire to terminate. In the event Seller timely elects to cure any material breach pursuant to the preceding sentence, then Seller shall effect such cure to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the foregoing ten (10) day period notwithstanding the Termination Date. If Buyer issues notice of its desire to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.2(c) and (x) Seller does not timely exercise its right to instead cure the applicable material breach, (y) Seller does not timely effect such cure to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction or (z) Seller timely elects to cure a material breach and subsequently terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.2(a), this Agreement shall terminate and Seller shall thereupon pay to Buyer (1) the Deposit in addition to all interest earned thereon plus (2) an amount equal to Three Million and No/100 Dollars (US $3,000,000.00) as liquidated damages for failure to close. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.2(c) as Buyer’s sole remedy, Seller and Buyer agree that the amount of the liquidated damages is reasonable consideration for Buyer’s damages, and that the extent of actual damages to Buyer occasioned by failure to close would be extremely impracticable to ascertain. Buyer’s right to seek specific performance pursuant to clause (A) above must be exercised by filing the appropriate documents to commence litigation no later than the earlier of sixty (60) days following expiration of any applicable cure period, and the Termination Date.

(d) If there shall be any statute, rule or regulation that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise prohibited or a Government Authority shall have issued an order, decree, or ruling or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and such order, decree, ruling, or other action shall have become final and non-appealable, then either Buyer or Seller may, by written notice to the other, terminate this Agreement.

(e) If the Closing does not occur for reasons set forth in Sections 4.2(a), 4.2(d), 8.1(c), 8.1(e) and 8.3(a) and this Agreement is terminated as contemplated herein, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Seller shall return the Deposit and interest thereon to Buyer, each party will otherwise be responsible for its own expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, and neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any remedy against the other arising out of this Agreement or the termination hereof except with respect to those provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.

(f) (i) This Agreement may be terminated by Seller in accordance with Section 8.1(a), 8.1(c), 8.3(a) or 8.14 and by Buyer in accordance with Section 8.1(c), 8.1(e), or 8.3(a).

(ii) If Seller elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.14, then Buyer shall be entitled to the Deposit and interest thereon plus Three Million and No/100 Dollars (US $3,000,000.00) as liquidated damages for failure to close. Seller and Buyer agree that the amount of liquidated damages is reasonable consideration for Buyer’s damages, and that the extent of actual damages to Buyer occasioned by failure to close would be extremely impracticable to ascertain.

(g) For purposes of Section 4.2(c), the “material breach” threshold means that more than Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars (US $2,500,000.00) would need to be spent to cure or remediate the breach.

(h) By initialing where indicated below, Seller and Buyer specifically agree to this liquidated damages provision.

SELLER’S INITIALS BUYER’S INITIALS .

ARTICLE 5

EMPLOYEES AND BENEFITS

5.1 Offers of Employment.

(a) Seller’s employees listed on Schedule 8 attached to this Agreement as “Prospective Employees” are the “Prospective Employees” for purposes of this Agreement. Seller’s or its Affiliates’ employees listed on Schedule 8 attached to this Agreement as “Retained Employees” are the “Retained Employees” for purposes of this Agreement. Buyer shall cause Services Company to offer employment to 100%

of all Prospective Employees. The Retained Employees shall continue their employment with Seller or one of its Affiliates, and Buyer shall cause Services Company not to offer employment to the Retained Employees. For purposes of this Article 5, references to “Seller” shall include Seller’s Affiliates where a Prospective Employee is employed by such Affiliate no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Buyer shall cause Services Company to make its employment offers to the Prospective Employees in writing during a hiring period beginning four (4) weeks prior to the scheduled Closing, and ending two (2) weeks prior to the scheduled Closing. Services Company may require each Prospective Employee to submit a formal application for employment and submit to Services Company’s customary hiring procedures. Each such employment offer shall be for a position with Services Company at a salary or wage that is no less than the base salary (or the base wage rate) plus any shift, incentive or piece-rate differentials applicable with respect to such Prospective Employee on the Closing Date (the “Equivalent Wage”). The Equivalent Wage shall not include the value of any benefit plan or program including, without limitation, the Chevron Incentive Plan and/or Long-Term Incentive Plan, or any other company incentive program in effect as of the Closing Date.

(c) Such employment offers shall provide that the employment with Services Company shall commence on the first day immediately following the Closing Date (the “Hire Date”) and shall be conditioned upon Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have no obligation under this Agreement to cause Services Company to employ any Prospective Employee who accepts an employment offer but does not actively report for work with Services Company on the Hire Date, unless (1) such Employee is on vacation, scheduled time off, off-site training, or other similar Seller-approved absence and commences active work with Services Company upon the termination of such approved absence; or (2) such Employee is absent from work due to illness or injury and reports for active work with Services Company within thirty (30) days after the Hire Date.

(i) Any Prospective Employee who accepts Services Company’s employment offer but is on vacation, scheduled time off, off-site training, or on other Seller-approved absence on the Hire Date shall become Services Company’s employee, as applicable, on the Hire Date.

(ii) Any Prospective Employee who accepts Services Company’s employment offer but is absent from work due to illness or injury, and who reports for active work with Services Company within thirty (30) days after the Hire Date, shall become Services Company’s employee when he or she reports for active work.

(d) Seller will terminate the employment of all Prospective Employees who accept Services Company’s employment offers on the Closing Date, provided Seller will terminate the employment of any Prospective Employee described in clause (ii) of Section 5.1(c) above effective on the day immediately before reporting for active work

with Services Company. Prospective Employees who become Services Company’s employees as of the Hire Date (or, in the case of Employees described in clause (ii) of Section 5.1(c) above, within thirty (30) days after the Hire Date), are the “Affected Employees.” Prospective Employees who do not become Affected Employees are “Remaining Employees.” Any Prospective Employee who accepts Services Company’s offer for employment but who fails to report for work in accordance with Section 5.1(c) shall not become a Services Company’s employee for any purpose pursuant to this Agreement and shall not be an Affected Employee.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall affect Services Company’s right to terminate the employment of any Affected Employee at any time on or after the date he or she becomes Services Company’s employee, with or without cause or advance notice; provided that Buyer shall cause Services Company to comply with the terms of the severance program required by Section 5.4 below if such termination is prior to one (1) year after the Hire Date and the termination is without cause. It is understood and agreed that (A) Buyer’s expressed intention to cause Services Company to extend offers of employment as set forth in this Section 5.1 shall not constitute any commitment, contract or understanding (expressed or implied) of any obligation on the part of Buyer or Services Company to a post-Closing employment relationship of any fixed term or duration or upon any terms or conditions other than those that Services Company may establish pursuant to individual offers of employment consistent with the provisions hereof, and (B) employment offered by Services Company shall be “at will” and may be terminated by Services Company or by an employee at any time for any reason or for no reason (subject to any written commitments to the contrary made by Services Company or an employee and subject to any applicable federal, state, or local employment laws, statutes, ordinances, orders, or regulations). Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent or restrict in any way the right of Services Company to terminate, reassign, promote or demote any of the Affected Employees after the Closing or to change adversely or favorably the title, powers, duties, responsibilities, functions, locations, salaries, other compensation or terms or conditions of employment of such employees except as otherwise agreed in this Article 5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall cause Services Company not to reduce an Affected Employee’s salary (or wage rate) below the Affected Employee’s Equivalent Wage prior to one (1) year after the Hire Date, other than in connection with termination of such Employee’s employment with Services Company.

(f) Buyer shall control and be responsible for Services Company’s offers of employment to Prospective Employees. Services Company may interview any Prospective Employee during normal working hours (including interviews on site) consistent with the operating requirements of Seller and, with the written permission of the Prospective Employee (a copy of which written permission shall be furnished to Buyer), may review and retain copies of such Prospective Employee’s training, attendance and safety records (if any) maintained by Seller or its Affiliates. All of the original personnel records maintained by Seller relating to the Prospective Employees shall remain with Seller after the Closing Date and shall not be turned over to Buyer except as otherwise required pursuant to Section 5.10(f). Services Company shall, however, have access to and use of such personnel records as may be required in

connection with the prosecution or defense of any administrative or court claim, and Seller shall not destroy any such personnel records prior to the time such personnel records are scheduled for destruction pursuant to Seller’s records retention policy applicable to records of this type.

5.2 Defined Benefit Pension Plan. Seller shall cause the Chevron Corporation Retirement Plan and related excess benefit plan (“Seller’s Pension Plan”) to:

(a) retain all liability for pension benefits accrued by each Affected Employee as of the date he or she terminates employment with Seller;

(b) provide for distributions in accordance with Seller’s Pension Plan’s distribution rules to any Affected Employee eligible for an immediate distribution as of the date he or she terminates employment with Seller. Seller shall also cause Seller’s Pension Plan to recognize the Affected Employee’s service with Services Company from the date such Affected Employee commences employment with Services Company until the earlier of the date the Affected Employee is no longer employed by Services Company (or any entity within Buyer’s Controlled Group) or receives a distribution from Seller’s Pension Plan. The service described in the preceding sentence shall be recognized by Seller’s Pension Plan only for purposes of vesting and determining eligibility to receive a benefit (including, without limitation, eligibility to receive subsidized early retirement benefits, Social Security supplements and ancillary benefits), but not for the purpose of accruing additional benefits (that is, pension credit). Such recognition of service for above described purposes, however, is expressly conditioned on the Affected Employee’s not receiving a distribution from Seller’s Pension Plan prior to the date he or she is no longer employed by Services Company (or any entity within Buyer’s Controlled Group).

Upon reasonable request, Buyer shall cause Services Company to provide Seller as soon as reasonably practical with information concerning each Affected Employee’s service with Services Company and Buyer’s Controlled Group and the date when the Affected Employee is no longer employed by Services Company (or any entity within Buyer’s Controlled Group).

5.3 Qualified Defined Contribution Plans.

(a) Seller shall cause the Chevron Employee Savings Investment Plan (“Seller’s Defined Contribution Plan”) to fully vest each Affected Employee as of the date his or her employment with Seller terminates, and to provide for the distribution of such Affected Employee’s vested benefits in accordance with such plan’s distribution rules.

(b) No later than the Hire Date, Buyer shall cause Services Company to establish and maintain, or make provision for, a defined contribution plan that is qualified as soon as practicable following the Closing Date under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Buyer’s Defined Contribution Plan”). Buyer’s Defined Contribution Plan shall not be terminated prior to one year after the Hire Date. Buyer

shall cause Services Company to cause Buyer’s Defined Contribution Plan to recognize for purposes of participation eligibility, vesting and benefit eligibility purposes each Affected Employee’s service for such purposes under Seller’s Defined Contribution Plan as of the date his or her employment with Seller terminates.

(c) Buyer shall cause Services Company to cause Buyer’s Defined Contribution Plan to accept the direct rollover of Affected Employees’ benefit distributed from Seller’s Defined Contribution Plan in cash and, where the Affected Employee elects to roll over his entire eligible balance, any promissory notes not accelerated (as provided in Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(31)). Any Affected Employee who elects to roll over his or her entire eligible balance from Seller’s Defined Contribution Plan to Buyer’s Defined Contribution Plan may elect to include with the rollover any loans outstanding under Seller’s Defined Contribution Plan as of the date his or her employment with Seller terminates, provided the loans have not been accelerated at the time of the rollover and, provided further, that, within 30 days of the Closing Date, Seller causes Seller’s Defined Contribution Plan to deliver to Buyer’s Defined Contribution Plan the promissory notes and/or other loan documentation of any Affected Employee who has elected to include an outstanding loan with such a rollover.

5.4 Severance Plans.

(a) Seller’s Severance Pay Plan. Seller shall cause the execution of a severance pay plan(s) for the benefit of qualifying Prospective Employees (“Seller’s Severance Pay Plans”). Prospective Employees will only receive severance pay in connection with the termination of their employment with Seller if they qualify for it under the terms of Seller’s Severance Pay Plans. Without limitation, Seller’s Severance Pay Plans shall provide that a Prospective Employee is ineligible for severance pay if he or she received an employment offer from Buyer, regardless of whether such offer is accepted or rejected. In addition, Seller’s Severance Pay Plans shall provide that no Affected Employee shall be eligible for severance pay.

(b) Services Company’s Severance Program.

(i) If within one year of the Hire Date: (A) Services Company involuntarily terminates the employment of an Affected Employee (for reasons other than cause or to commence employment with another entity within Buyer’s Controlled Group) or (B) the Affected Employee elects to terminate employment with Services Company (or an entity within Buyer’s Controlled Group) rather than accept a reduction in compensation below his or her Equivalent Wage, Buyer shall cause Services Company to provide severance pay and other benefits to such Affected Employee as described below. Buyer agrees to cause Services Company to adopt such severance program or to cause the Affected Employees to be eligible under the severance program maintained for certain employees who provide services to Services Company (“Buyer’s Severance Program”) no later than the Hire Date and not to terminate it or amend it in a manner inconsistent with this Section 5.4(b) prior to one year after the Hire Date.

(ii) Buyer’s Severance Program shall provide severance pay in an amount no less than two weeks of such Affected Employee’s Equivalent Wage (or his then-current base rate of pay, if greater) for each combined year of service with Seller and Services Company (each including any other entity within its respective Controlled Group). Such service shall be prorated for completed calendar months and subject to a minimum of four (4) years and a maximum of twenty-six (26) years. Service with Seller for these purposes shall be Seller’s service used to calculate severance pay under Seller’s Severance Pay Plan. Buyer’s Severance Program shall also provide for the continuation of employee rates and Services Company’s contribution for medical coverage that are applicable to otherwise similarly situated active Services Company employees for up to six months after the Closing Date.

(iii) As soon as reasonably practicable after the termination of each Affected Employee’s employment with Seller, Seller shall provide Buyer with such Affected Employee’s service (as defined in Seller’s Severance Pay Plan).

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Services Company may condition eligibility for any benefit under Buyer’s Severance Program on the execution of a general and comprehensive release or waiver of any liability. Such release or waiver shall be in such form as Services Company determines in its sole discretion.

5.5 Vacation Pay. Buyer shall cause Services Company to have or adopt and maintain a vacation pay plan or policy no later than the Hire Date (“Buyer’s Vacation Pay Policy”). Buyer’s Vacation Pay Policy shall:

(a) be applicable to each Affected Employee upon the commencement of his or her employment with Services Company;

(b) recognize the service that Seller used for purposes of vacation pay accrual as of the date each Affected Employee terminates employment with Seller; and

(c) provide a minimum annual vacation pay accrual equal to the amount of annual vacation granted to eligible employees under Services Company’s vacation plan. Seller shall be responsible for any compensation due to Affected Employees for any vacation carryover for years prior to the year of Closing and all earned and unused vacation for the year of Closing and in each case that is not used prior the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such minimum annual accrual may be prorated where the Affected Employee is employed by Services Company (or an entity within Buyer’s Controlled Group) for less than a full calendar year.

5.6 Health Care Plans.

(a) In General. Buyer shall cause Services Company to establish and/or maintain medical, mental health, substance abuse, and dental plans (“Buyer’s Health Care Plans”) as of the Hire Date. Buyer’s Health Care Plans shall provide that each Affected Employee and his or her otherwise eligible dependents shall be eligible to enroll in such plans with coverage commencing immediately upon commencement of his or her employment with Services Company. If such Affected Employee was enrolled in Chevron’s

corresponding plan upon termination of employment with Seller, Buyer shall cause Services Company to cause Buyer’s Health Care Plans to: (i) waive any pre-existing condition limitations; and (ii) recognize each such Affected Employee’s expenditures (including those of his or her covered dependents) under Chevron’s corresponding plan for the calendar year in which the Affected Employee becomes Services Company’s employee toward any applicable deductible and annual out-of-pocket limit in Buyer’s Health Care Plans for such calendar year. In addition, Buyer will cause Services Company to cause Buyer’s Health Care Plans to waive any pre-existing condition limitation where required to comply with the provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”). Chevron’s benefit plans that provide medical, mental health, substance abuse, and dental coverage for among others, all of Seller’s employees (“Seller’s Health Care Plans) shall be liable for the Covered Expenses of each of the Affected Employees and their dependents incurred before the date such Affected Employee becomes an employee of Services Company, to the extent such individuals have coverage under such plans and such expenses are covered under the terms of such plans (“Covered Expenses”).

(b) Special Rules for Flexible Spending Account. Seller agrees to, and Buyer agrees to cause Services Company to, coordinate the transition of Seller’s health care flexible spending account plan with respect to Affected Employees as described in Situation 2 of Internal Revenue Service Revenue Ruling 2002-32. Accordingly, the Affected Employees cease to be eligible for Seller’s Health Care Plans as of the Closing Date, except to the extent of any continuation coverage election under Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”). Buyer agrees to cause Services Company to establish and maintain or make provision for, the establishment of a health care flexible spending account plan pursuant to Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to Affected Employees and the election by any Affected Employee under Seller’s Health Care Plans shall be continued as an election as if made under Services Company’s health care flexible spending account from the beginning of Seller’s plan year. Services Company’s health care flexible spending account plan shall provide for reimbursement of medical care expenses incurred by the Affected Employees at any time during Seller’s plan year including claims incurred before the Closing Date, up to the amount of the Affected Employees’ election and reduced by amounts previously reimbursed by Seller. As soon as reasonably practicable, Seller shall provide Buyer with the Affected Employees’ election for the plan year, periodic salary reduction and expense reimbursement as of the Closing Date.

5.7 Post-Retirement Health Care Coverage. Seller shall be responsible for all post-retirement medical, mental health, substance abuse, and dental coverage for the Remaining Employees through Chevron’s post-retirement health care coverage (“Seller’s Post-Retirement Health Care Coverage”). Seller also shall make available Post-Retirement Health Care Coverage to any Affected Employee who as of the date he or she terminates employment with Seller is

eligible to receive and enroll in Seller’s Post-Retirement Health Care Coverage (“Eligible Affected Employees”). Eligible Affected Employees shall be treated in the same manner as any other similarly situated Seller employees who would terminate employment with Seller on the same date. For purposes of calculating the amount of any employer contributions toward such coverage, Seller shall not be obligated to consider any age greater than the Affected Employee’s age upon termination of employment with Seller or any service with Services Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller’s Post-Retirement Health Care Coverage shall be subject to Seller’s unilateral and discretionary right (including the rights of any entity within Seller’s Controlled Group) to amend or terminate such coverage at any time and with respect to any Eligible Affected Employees.

5.8 WARN Act Indemnification. Buyer on behalf of itself and Services Company shall indemnify Seller from all liabilities arising out of the notification or other requirements of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, as amended (“WARN Act”), as and if applicable, with respect to the Affected Employees in connection with actions taken by Buyer or Services Company on the Closing Date. Seller shall indemnify Buyer and Services Company against all liabilities under the WARN Act, as and if applicable, with respect to all other employees of Seller, including the Remaining Employees.

5.9 Buyer’s Other Employee Benefits. Buyer agrees that as of the date an Affected Employee becomes Services Company’s employee, he or she will be eligible to participate in Services Company’s employee benefit plans and programs that are not specifically described in this Article 5 which are generally applicable to Services Company’s similarly situated employees who are hired on or about the Hire Date, subject to the terms and conditions of such plans and programs, and that each Affected Employee shall be given credit for the corresponding service recognized by Seller prior to the date he or she terminates employment with Seller for all applicable purposes (including participation eligibility, vesting, benefit eligibility and benefit accrual) under such Services Company employee benefit plans and programs In addition, if the Affected Employee (or his or her covered dependent) was participating in Seller’s similar employee welfare benefit plan as of the date his or her employment with Seller terminates, Buyer will cause such Services Company employee welfare benefit plan to waive any and all restrictions relating to pre-existing conditions and evidence of insurability to the extent required by HIPAA. For purposes of such waiver, if Seller had no similar employee welfare benefit plan, Buyer will presume participation and satisfaction of pre-existing condition limitations on the part of the Affected Employee (or his or her covered dependents).

For purposes of this Section 8.1(b), “Non-Material Discovery” shall mean (I) any fact or facts discovered by Buyer after the Effective Date but prior to the expiration of the Review Period that were not reasonably discernible prior to the Effective Date from the materials set out in the Data Room as it existed on the Effective Date, or (II) any fact or facts discovered by Buyer after the expiration of the Review Period but prior to the Approval Date that were not reasonably discernible prior to the Effective Date from materials set out in the Data Room as it existed on the Effective Date, or (III) any fact or facts discovered by Buyer after the expiration of the Review Period but prior to the Approval Date that were not reasonably discernible from investigations undertaken (or required to be undertaken) by Buyer during or prior to the expiration of the Review Period (including, without limitation, the Environmental Information) regarding, in the case of the foregoing (I), (II) or (III), (a) title to the Assets, (b) Environmental Liabilities or (c) a Regulatory Obstacle, which reduces the economic value of the Assets by more than Five Million and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($5,000,000.00) but less than Twenty Million and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($20,000,000.00) or a party would have to spend between Five Million and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($5,000,000.00) and Twenty Million and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($20,000,000.00) to cure or remediate the matter, excluding, in each instance, any value attributable to changes in stock markets, interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices or other general economic or political conditions; changes in laws, regulations or accounting practices; the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; the change in control of the Assets which will occur as a result of the provisions of this Agreement or in each case the announcement of the same; and, any events generally affecting companies in a business similar to that represented by the Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the HSWA Permit constitute a Material Discovery or a Non-Material Discovery.

(c) For any Material Discovery, Seller and Buyer agree to discuss appropriate remedial actions or adjustments to this Agreement to take into account the Material Discovery. If Seller and Buyer cannot agree on appropriate remedial actions or an appropriate adjustment to this Agreement within a reasonable time period not to exceed twenty (20) days after Seller receives notice of such Material Discovery, and if Seller has not cured or remedied the Material Discovery within such twenty (20) day period, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with full refund of the Deposit pursuant to Section 4.2(e) hereof, by written notice to Seller within the ten (10) day period following the expiration of the foregoing twenty (20) day period; provided, however, that Seller shall have the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to elect to undertake either to

cure or remedy the Material Discovery within thirty (30) days from its receipt of written notice from Buyer that it intends to terminate this Agreement, and further provided that Seller completes such cure or remedy within sixty (60) days from such notice. If Seller elects to cure or remedy the Material Discovery, Closing shall be extended but not beyond Termination Date, as necessary, until the date which is five (5) business days following Seller’s completion of such cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Seller, in its reasonable judgment, determines that Seller’s Environmental Liabilities constituting a Material Discovery cannot be cured or remedied using reasonable methods or resources, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with full refund of the Deposit pursuant to Section 4.2(e) hereof, by written notice to Buyer on or before the expiration of the Review Period.

For any Non-Material Discovery, Seller and Buyer agree to discuss an appropriate adjustment to the Assets Purchase Price. If Seller and Buyer cannot agree on an appropriate adjustment to the Assets Purchase Price within twenty (20) days after Seller receives notice of the Non-Material Discovery from Buyer, then Seller and Buyer shall each appoint an independent third party expert with at least five (5) years’ full-time experience in such calculations to determine a reasonable estimate of the amount by which the Non-Material Discovery has reduced the economic value of the Assets using commercially reasonable methods of calculation and taking into account all relevant facts and other information under the circumstances (the “Reduction Amount”). If a party does not appoint an expert and so advise the other party as to the name of its expert within ten (10) days after the expiration of the twenty (20) day period referenced above, then the single expert shall determine and set the Reduction Amount. If both experts are appointed by the parties as stated above, they shall meet promptly and attempt to determine and set the Reduction Amount. If the two experts are unable to agree on the Reduction Amount within twenty (20) days after the second expert has been appointed, the two experts shall then attempt to select a third expert meeting the qualifications stated above within ten (10) days after the last day the two experts are given to determine the Reduction Amount. If the two experts are unable to agree on a third expert, either of the parties, by giving ten (10) days’ written notice to the other party may apply to the Presiding Judge of the District Court for the county in which the Facility is located for the selection of a third expert who meets the qualifications stated in this Section 8.1(c). Each of the parties shall bear one-half of the cost of appointing the third expert and of paying the third expert’s fee. Within twenty (20) days after selection of the third expert, a majority of the experts shall determine and set the Reduction Amount. If a majority of the experts are unable to agree upon the Reduction Amount within the stipulated period of time, the three determinations of the Reduction Amount shall be added together and their total divided by three and the resulting quotient shall be the Reduction Amount. If, however, the low determination or the high determination is more than 10% lower or higher than the middle determination, the low determination or the high determination, as the case may be, shall be disregarded and the remaining two determinations shall be added together and their total divided by two, and the resulting quotient shall be the Reduction Amount. If the low determination and the high determination are 10% lower and higher, respectively, than the middle determination, then both the low determination and the high determination shall be disregarded, and the middle determination shall be the Reduction Amount. If there is a Non-Material Discovery and if a Reduction Amount

is calculated hereunder, (i) Closing shall be extended, as necessary but not beyond the Termination Date, until the date that is five (5) business days following calculation of the Reduction Amount and (ii) at the Closing, the Assets Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Reduction Amount less Fifty Thousand and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($50,000.00).

(d) If Buyer does not give Seller written notice of a Material Discovery or a Non-Material Discovery on or prior to the Approval Date, the conditions set forth in Section 10.1(g) shall be deemed satisfied and/or waived, and Seller shall have no further Liability for such matter.

(e) If a Material Adverse Change occurs at any time between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer agree to discuss appropriate actions or adjustments to this Agreement to take into account the Material Adverse Change. If Seller and Buyer cannot agree on appropriate actions or an appropriate adjustment to this Agreement within a reasonable time period not to exceed twenty (20) days after the last of the parties to receive or have actual notice of the Material Adverse Change, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with full refund of the Deposit pursuant to Section 4.2(e) hereof by written notice to Seller within the ten (10) day period following the expiration of the foregoing twenty (20) day period; provided, however, that Seller shall have the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to elect to undertake either to repair or replace or make adequate provision for the repair or replacement of such damaged or destroyed Assets within the ten (10) day period following Seller’s receipt of written notice from Buyer that it intends to terminate this Agreement, and further provided that Seller completes such work to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction within one hundred twenty (120) days after the expiration of the foregoing ten (10) day period. If Seller properly and timely elects to repair or replace or make adequate provision for the repair or replacement of such damaged or destroyed Assets referenced in the foregoing sentence, Closing shall be extended but not beyond the Termination Date, as necessary, until the date which is five (5) business days following Seller’s completion of such repair or replacement of such damaged or destroyed Assets; provided, however, in no event shall Closing be extended beyond a date which is ninety (90) days after the originally scheduled Closing.

(f) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the instruments to be delivered by Seller at the Closing, Buyer assumes the risk that adverse conditions outside the scope of Seller’s warranties set forth in Article 6 may not be revealed by Buyer’s own investigation. Except as otherwise provided herein, Buyer acknowledges that, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE INSTRUMENTS TO BE DELIVERED BY SELLER AT THE CLOSING, THE ASSETS ARE SOLD “AS IS, WHERE IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” AND THAT NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED IN FACT OR BY LAW, WHETHER OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, CONDITION OR OTHERWISE, CONCERNING THE ASSETS HAS BEEN MADE TO BUYER.

(g) Without limitation, but except as otherwise provided herein, effective upon the Closing, Buyer releases and discharges Seller and its Affiliates, and their officers, directors, employees, agents and other persons acting on their behalf from any of the Assumed Liabilities and waives any claims Buyer may have against the foregoing persons and entities with respect to the Assumed Liabilities; provided that the foregoing release shall not serve to alter or reduce the rights of Buyer pursuant to Section 12.1(a)).

8.2 Announcements; Confidentiality. Except as required by law, neither Buyer nor Seller may issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement with respect to this transaction, without the prior consent of the other party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Additionally, Buyer and Seller agree that the existence, terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be kept strictly confidential; provided, that (i) each party may disclose the existence, terms, and conditions of this Agreement to its officers, directors and members, (ii) each party may disclose the existence, terms and conditions of this Agreement to its employees and outside advisors on a need-to-know basis in connection with the matters discussed in this Agreement, and (iii) each party may disclose the existence, terms, and conditions of this Agreement as necessary to enforce its rights hereunder or as required pursuant to subpoena, court order or applicable governmental laws, regulations or other requirements (however, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the disclosing party shall promptly notify the other party of such requirement and shall assist the other party in obtaining a protective order or equivalent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may produce to the New Jersey Division of Taxation (referred to in Section 11.12 below) a copy of the Agreement or a memorandum thereof, pursuant to Section 11.12. Each party acknowledges that confidentiality is a material inducement for the other party to execute this Agreement and shall survive termination of this Agreement. Effective upon the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall automatically terminate without any further action of either party. From and after Closing, Seller shall hold in confidence and shall not, except with Buyer’s written consent or as required by law or Governmental Authority or in accordance with the confidentiality provision in the Tank Storage Agreement or to the extent necessary, on a need to know basis, to comply with the obligations of Seller in this Agreement including all of the Schedules and Exhibits hereto, disclose or permit to be disclosed any non-public information regarding the Facility that Seller or its Affiliates may have retained as permitted hereunder.

8.3 Operation of Assets Prior to Closing; Risk of Loss; Capital Projects.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or with the prior written approval of Buyer, between the Effective Date and the Closing Date or the termination date of this Agreement, as applicable, Seller shall:

(i) operate the Assets in the ordinary course of business and;

(ii) not sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of any portion of the Assets other than the sale in the ordinary course of the operations and having a per item fair market value of less than Fifty Thousand and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($50,000.00) of materials, supplies, spare parts, furniture, motor vehicles, rolling stock, tools, implements, appliances, machinery, equipment, improvements or other tangible personal property or fixtures forming a part of the Assets; provided that all such sales, leases, or other disposals may not exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($250,000.00) in the aggregate;

(iii) not modify, amend or terminate any Applicable Contract or Applicable Permit or make or effect any material election or waiver thereunder, and promptly advise Buyer of any inquiries from any Government Authority or counterparty with respect thereto; and not enter into any contract that would have constituted an Applicable Contract if it had existed on the Effective Date;

(iv) not create, or allow to be created, any Encumbrance upon all or any portion of the Assets other than Permitted Encumbrances;

(v) not waive, compromise or settle any claim that would adversely affect ownership, operation or value of any of the Assets;

(vi) not terminate the employment of any Prospective Employee (unless for cause, as determined consistent with past practice, and upon notice to Buyer to the extent permitted by law) or increase, or cause the increase of, the Equivalent Wages (or any component thereof) of any Prospective Employee other than annual increases in the normal course of business; and

(vii) not authorize or propose, or agree in writing or otherwise to take (or not take, as applicable) any of the actions described in this Section 8.3(a).

In the event any single Asset is damaged, destroyed or taken by condemnation between the Effective Date and the Closing Date and if such damage, destruction or taking does not constitute a Material Adverse Change under this Agreement and if such damage, destruction or taking results in a reduction in the economic value of the Assets by more than Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($2,500,000.00), as reasonably determined by Seller, or the cost of repair or replacement of any such Asset would cost more than Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($2,500,000.00), as reasonably determined by Seller, and such damage, destruction or taking is capable of being repaired or replaced within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such damage, destruction or taking, as reasonably determined by Seller, then Seller shall, at its sole option and election, either (i) repair or replace within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such damage, destruction or taking such damaged, destroyed or taken Asset to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction, or (ii) reduce the Assets Purchase Price by an amount reasonably determined by Seller and Buyer to represent the reduction in the value of the Assets by reason of the damage, destruction or taking. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Seller reasonably determines that the cost of repair or replacement (x) exceeds Five Million and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($5,000,000.00) and neither Buyer nor Seller is willing to agree to bear the cost of such excess or (y) exceeds Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($2,500,000.00) and such damage, destruction or taking is not capable of being repaired or replaced within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such damage, destruction or taking, then either Seller (but solely in the case of clause (x)) or Buyer may terminate this Agreement under Section 4.2(e) of this Agreement, whereupon the Title Company shall return the Deposit to Buyer together with all interest accrued thereon in compliance with Section 4.2(e) of this Agreement; provided, however, that if neither Seller (solely in the case of clause (x)) nor Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to clause (x) or (y), as applicable, then Seller shall make an election pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above, subject in the case of clause (x) to the agreement between Seller and Buyer to bear such excess cost. If

Seller elects to repair or replace or make adequate provision for the repair or replacement of any such damaged or destroyed Asset referenced in this Section 8.3(b) and this Agreement is not otherwise terminated as permitted hereunder, Closing shall be extended but not beyond the Termination Date, as necessary, until the date which is five (5) business days following Seller’s completion of such repair or replacement of any such damaged or destroyed Asset; provided, however, in no event shall Closing be extended beyond a date which is ninety (90) days after the originally scheduled Closing. Any damage to, or destruction of, any single Asset that constitutes a Material Adverse Change shall be subject to Section 8.1(e) hereof and not this Section 8.3(b).

(b) Schedule 11 attached to this Agreement describes the discretionary capital projects currently planned or underway with regard to the Assets, together with timelines and budgets for each such project. The Purchase Price shall be increased by any sums (i) reflected on such Schedule 11, (ii) reasonably expended by Seller between the Effective Date and the Closing with regard to such capital projects, and (iii) expended in a manner consistent with the applicable timeline set forth on Schedule 11. Upon written notice from Buyer, Seller shall immediately discontinue all work under any such capital project except to the extent such project is reasonably required to comply with applicable laws or regulations or to the extent legally binding contracts for such project have already been executed at the time such notice is received by Seller.

8.4 Third Party and Governmental Consents.

(a) Applicable Contracts. No contracts relating to the ownership and/or operation of the Facility shall be assigned by Seller under this Agreement other than the Applicable Contracts. At and effective as of the Closing, Seller shall assign all rights and delegate performance of all its duties to Buyer under the Applicable Contracts described in Schedule 3 attached to this Agreement, and Buyer shall assume and agree to perform all duties of Seller under each such Applicable Contract. Such assumption by Buyer includes its assumption of any termination charges associated with a termination of any such Applicable Contract made after the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Applicable Contracts and easements described in Schedule 3 attached to this Agreement as requiring notice or consent from third parties as a condition to any such transfer or assignment shall not be transferred or assigned unless the proper notice or consent shall have been satisfied. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate and shall undertake promptly after the Effective Date such action as may be required to satisfy any such notice or consent requirements as of the Closing Date. If any such notice or consent requirement is not satisfied as of the Closing Date with respect to any Applicable Contract or easement, then such Applicable Contract or easement shall be excluded from the sale of the Assets at the Closing; provided, however, that for a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing, Seller shall, at no liability and no out-of-pocket cost to Seller, use reasonable commercial efforts to cooperate with Buyer for the transfer or assignment to Buyer of any such Applicable Contract or easement. Any and all costs of maintaining any such Applicable Contract or easement shall be to Buyer’s account.

(b) Applicable Permits. Buyer and Seller shall undertake promptly after the Effective Date, at no out of pocket cost to Seller, such commercially reasonable actions as may be required to cause the Applicable Permits as described in Schedule 3 attached to this Agreement to be transferred or reissued in favor of Buyer as of the Closing Date. At and effective as of the later of Closing and the transfer or reissuance of each such Applicable Permit, Buyer shall assume and agree to perform all duties thereunder from and after the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Applicable Permits described in Schedule 3 attached to this Agreement as requiring notice, consent, or action by any Government Authority with competent jurisdiction or third party (“Applicable Consent Requirements”) shall not be transferred or assigned until and unless the proper Applicable Consent Requirement shall have been satisfied. If any such notice or consent requirement is not satisfied as of the Closing Date with respect to any Applicable Permit, then such Applicable Permit shall be excluded from the sale of the Assets at the Closing; provided, however, that for a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing, Seller shall, at no liability and no out-of-pocket cost to Seller, use reasonable commercial efforts to cooperate with Buyer for the transfer or assignment to Buyer of any Applicable Permit for which the Applicable Consent Requirements were not satisfied at or prior to Closing. Any and all costs of maintaining any such Applicable Permit during such 12 month period shall be to Buyer’s account.

8.5 Further Assurances. Seller and Buyer agree to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary (including executing and delivering, from time to time, at the request of the other all such further conveyance documents, assignments and further assurances as reasonably may be required) to consummate the purchase and sale contemplated by this Agreement; provided that no such action or execution and delivery of such documents, assignments and further assurances shall increase or otherwise modify or affect the duties or obligations of the parties hereto. The Bargain and Sale Deed, Access Easement and Option Agreement shall be promptly recorded by Buyer following execution and delivery at the Closing.

8.6 Notification of Certain Matters.

(a) Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer shall promptly notify each other of: (i) any information that indicates that any representation or warranty contained herein was not true and correct as of the Effective Date or will not be true and correct as of the Closing Date, if applicable; (ii) the occurrence of any event which will result, or has a reasonable prospect of resulting, in the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder on or before the date or dates set forth in Section 4.1 or to satisfy a condition specified in Articles 9 and 10 hereof, as the case may be; (iii) any notice or other communication from any third party alleging that the consent or waiver of such third party is required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (iv) any notice of, or other communication relating to, any default or event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default under any Applicable Permit.

(b) Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller shall confer on reasonable request (but no more often than one time every two weeks) with one or more Specified Individuals of Buyer to report on operational matters and to report the general status of ongoing operations at the Facility. (The Specified Individuals of Buyer are listed in Schedule 13 attached to this Agreement.)

8.7 Access: Confidentiality. Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller shall (i) provide reasonable access to Buyer, its Affiliates and their respective accountants, engineers and other representatives and advisers, during normal business hours, to the Assets and the files, books, records, documents, and other information relating thereto (other than certain privileged documents, confidential third-party documents and personnel file records and evaluative records pertaining to employees), and (ii) make available for inspection and copying by Buyer originals or true and complete copies of any documents relating to the foregoing, including the documents listed in any Schedule attached to this Agreement. Prior to any such access, Buyer shall notify Seller of its desire for such access, and Buyer and Seller shall reasonably cooperate and determine a mutually acceptable time and date for such access. All documents or information obtained shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against all Liabilities arising out of (i) any and all statutory or common law liens or other Encumbrances for labor or materials furnished in connection with rights granted hereunder, including samplings, studies or surveys that Buyer may conduct with respect to the Assets pursuant to this Section 8.7, or (ii) any injury to or death of any persons or damage to or destruction of property including the Assets and the Excluded Assets occurring as a result of such exercise of the rights granted under this Section 8.7 or activities conducted pursuant to this Section 8.7; provided that this indemnification shall not apply in respect of Liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful and wanton misconduct of any of Seller, its Affiliates or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents. In addition, Buyer waives and releases all claims against Seller and its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, other than claims resulting from their gross negligence or willful and wanton misconduct, for injury to or death of any persons or damage to property arising from the exercise of rights granted to Buyer by this Section 8.7 or the activities performed pursuant to this Section 8.7 by Buyer or Buyer’s agents or employees on, at, or about the Facility. The provisions of this Section 8.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

8.8 Proprietary Technical Information. Seller shall, within 90 days following Closing, remove all proprietary technical information in written form that is owned by a third party or is in use at the Facilities and is proprietary to Seller or its Affiliates and is not specifically included as part of this sale and listed in Schedule 2 attached to this Agreement. The following exemplifies but is not an exclusive list of the types of proprietary technical information that may be removed:

(a) that contained in standard technical and practices manuals, guides and books;

(b) that contained in research studies and reports, particularly those directed to processes, methods or apparatuses that are not operated or used or presently planned for use in connection with the Assets;

(d) that contained in reports, specifications or formulations of test products that have not been made available commercially; and

(e) that embodied in the form of computer programs directly or indirectly accessible from local or remote computer installations.

8.9 Insurance.

(a) Seller and Buyer acknowledge that Chevron and/or its Affiliates have maintained worldwide programs of property and liability insurance coverage for Chevron and its Affiliates, including with respect to the Assets, and including insurance policies that are written or re-insured by insurance companies that are Affiliates of Chevron or Seller. All of the insurance policies through which such worldwide programs of coverage are presently or have previously been provided are herein called the “Chevron Corporation Insurance Policies.”

(b) It is the understanding and intention of Seller and Buyer that:

(i) from and after the Closing, no insurance coverage shall be provided under the Chevron Corporation Insurance Policies with respect to the Assets; and

(ii) from and after the Closing, no claims regarding any matter whatsoever, whether or not arising from events occurring prior to the Closing, shall be made against or with respect to the Chevron Corporation Insurance Policies by Buyer.

(c) Buyer, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding any provision hereof, or available to it at law or in equity, in no event will Buyer, or its successors or assigns, pursue a claim directly against or with respect to any of the Chevron Corporation Insurance Policies for any claim arising after the Closing made by, through or on behalf of Buyer.

8.10 Termination of Guaranties and Other Commitments. As of the Closing Date, all of the following shall be canceled or terminated by Seller to the extent permitted by law (the “Terminated Commitments”): (i) undertakings, comfort letters, guaranties and other credit support identified on Schedule 12; (ii) insurance policies, letters of credit, surety bonds, and related indemnity and premium agreements arranged and maintained by any Seller or any of their Affiliates with respect to the Assets; and (iii) any credit card accounts issued by any Seller or any of their Affiliates to any employees in connection with the Assets. Prior to Closing, Buyer shall arrange for substitute security for any commitments for which security has been given which commitments are assumed by Buyer which are canceled pursuant to this Section 8.10, all as set forth and described in Schedule 12 attached to this Agreement. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the Approval Date, Seller shall have provided Buyer with the information it would need to meet Buyer’s responsibilities under this Section 8.10.

8.11 Transition Services to Buyer. If Buyer desires Seller to provide certain other services to or for the benefit of Buyer with respect to the Assets for a transition period following the Closing, Buyer shall so notify Seller at least fifteen (15) days prior to Closing. Buyer and Seller shall discuss arrangements for such services on such terms and conditions as may be mutually acceptable, it being understood that neither party is under any obligation to provide such services until and unless such arrangements are agreed upon. Seller shall terminate or cause to be terminated, effective as of the Closing, any existing management arrangements between Seller and its Affiliates with respect to the Assets.

8.12 Exclusivity. Seller agrees that it will not negotiate or pursue “back-up” contracts/purchase offers from other prospective purchasers of the Assets or negotiate or pursue a possible sale, recapitalization, merger or other disposition of all or a substantial portion of the Assets or any interest therein with any other party in connection therewith (i) prior to Closing, but only so long as this Agreement remains in effect and has not been terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof, and (ii) during the twelve (12) month period beginning on the date of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.2(c) or Section 8.14. The provisions of this Section 8.12 shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.2(c) or Section 8.14.

8.13 Seller’s Insignia. Buyer shall obtain no right, title, interest, license or any other right whatsoever to use Seller’s/Affiliates’ Insignia, or any trademark confusingly similar thereto or dilutive thereof. From and after the Closing, Buyer agrees that it shall (a) cease using Seller’s/Affiliates’ Insignia in any manner, directly or indirectly, except for such limited uses as cannot be promptly terminated (e.g., signage), and to cease such limited usage of Seller’s/Affiliates’ Insignia as promptly as possible after the Closing and in any event within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date and (b) remove, strike over or otherwise obliterate all Seller’s/Affiliates’ Insignia from all of the Assets. The parties agree, because damages would be an inadequate remedy, that a party seeking to enforce this Section 8.13 shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for any breach thereof in addition to other remedies available at law or in equity. This covenant shall survive indefinitely without limitation as to time.

8.14 Issuance of HSWA Permit. Not later than five (5) days after the issuance of the HSWA Permit, the Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such issuance and provide a copy of such permit to Buyer. Seller shall have twenty (20) days following such issuance to determine whether the terms and conditions are satisfactory to Seller in its sole discretion. On or prior to such twentieth (20^th) day, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of its election, if any, to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.2(f)(ii) because Seller determines, in its sole discretion, the terms and conditions are not satisfactory. If Seller fails to terminate this Agreement within the twenty (20) day period described above, then the condition in Section 9.1(r) shall be deemed satisfied. The Closing shall be extended but not beyond the Termination Date, as necessary, to give effect to the twenty (20) day period in this Section 8.14.

ARTICLE 11

TAXES AND LIKE KIND EXCHANGE

11.1 Taxes . As used herein, “Taxes” means (i) all taxes, fees, duties, unclaimed property and escheat obligations and other charges or assessments, including, without limitation, any license or registration fees and all income, franchise, sales, use, excise, gross receipts, stamp, import, export, property, transfer, wage withholding, occupation, unemployment

or other like taxes, (ii) any interest, fine, penalty or additions to tax imposed by a Government Authority in connection with any item described in clause (i), and (iii) any liability in respect of any item described in clauses (i) or (ii) above, that arises by reason of a contract, assumption, transferee or successor liability, operation of law (including by reason of participation in a consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Return) or otherwise.

11.2 Transfer Taxes . Seller shall, except for the “mansion tax” described in Section 3.5, pay any real property transfer Taxes, including, without limitation, realty transfer fees, and charges with respect to recordation of the documents necessary for transfer of the real property at Closing (the “Real Property Transfer Taxes”).

11.3 Excise Taxes . Buyer shall be liable for any sales Taxes which arise as a result of the purchase and sale of the Assets contemplated by this Agreement, or as a result of any purchase, sale, rental, lease, storage, use, consumption or operation of the Assets after the Closing Date (collectively “Excise Taxes”). Excise Taxes shall include, without limitation, federal manufacturers’ excise taxes, federal and state environmental taxes, state and local sales and use taxes, oil company gross receipt or franchise taxes (except those based on or measured by the income or net worth of Seller or delivering party), business and occupation taxes, state and local product taxes, state and local inspection fees, and state and local oil spill taxes or fees arising with respect to the ownership or operation of the Assets after the Closing Date. If Buyer claims exemption from any of the Excise Taxes, Buyer shall furnish Seller with a properly completed exemption certificate. On items that are to be resold, Buyer shall furnish Seller with a properly executed resale certificate. Buyer shall hold harmless and indemnify Seller for any Excise Taxes assessed against Seller by any taxing authority in respect of the sale of the Assets, including the amounts of any penalties, interest and attorneys’ fees. The Parties agree to cooperate to reduce or minimize any Excise Taxes and agree to treat this purchase and sale as a casual sale that is not subject to sales or use tax with any of the taxing authorities having jurisdiction over this transaction; accordingly no sales tax shall be collected by Seller from Buyer at the Closing. In the event of a Tax audit or examination of Seller involving the operations, Assets or Liabilities of Seller for any period ending on or before the Closing Date, or any period that includes the Closing Date, Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in connection with such Tax audit or examination. Buyer shall notify Seller of the receipt of notice of any Tax audit for any period ending on or before the Closing Date, or any period that includes the Closing Date for which Seller may be liable hereunder. Buyer shall furnish Seller with copies of all correspondence received from any Tax authority in connection with such Tax audit in an expeditious manner. Buyer shall ensure that no compromise or settlement of any item from the Tax audit or the waiver of any statute of limitations relating thereto shall be agreed upon without the prior written consent of Seller, in the event that Seller may be responsible for the resulting Taxes hereunder. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Seller. Failure of Buyer to expeditiously notify Seller of any claim, assessment or inquiry by any Tax authority shall not relieve Seller of any obligation to assume, defend or otherwise settle any such claim for the benefit of Buyer unless and to the extent it actually prejudices the defense or settlement of such claim, assessment or inquiry.

11.4 Property Taxes . All real estate, ad valorem, and personal property Taxes and charges assessed with respect to the Assets (collectively “Property Taxes”) shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of the close of the Closing Date (based on their relative number of days of ownership of the Assets during the year), using the best evidence of such Property Taxes for the year of Closing as is then available. Seller and Buyer hereby agree that if figures for the year of Closing are not available as of the Closing Date, that the best evidence then available shall be the figures for the year prior to Closing. With regard to any special or general assessments against any of the Assets which are payable in installments, Seller shall be responsible for all assessments which relate to periods up to and including the Closing Date, and Buyer shall be responsible for all assessments which relate to periods after the Closing Date, such obligation to survive Closing.

11.5 Property Tax Bills . After Closing, Buyer shall pay each property tax xxxx applicable to the Assets prior to the last day that such taxes may be paid without penalty or interest. If Seller receives any property tax xxxx applicable to the Assets, Seller shall promptly send such property tax xxxx to Buyer for payment by Buyer as set forth above. Provided Seller has satisfied its obligations hereunder, Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller and its Affiliates harmless from and against all claims, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), loss and liability resulting from nonpayment by Buyer of such Property Taxes applicable to the Assets for the year of Closing and subsequent years.

11.6 Refunds . If Seller or Buyer (including any Affiliate of Seller or Buyer) receives a refund of any Taxes in connection with the Assets being sold and transferred pursuant to this Agreement relating to periods for which the other party is responsible, the party receiving such refund shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such refund, remit it to the party who is responsible.

11.7 Adjustments . In the event of notice of proposed adjustment, notice of deficiency, or any other contest with a Taxing authority over Taxes for which a party is liable, that party will be entitled to control the proceedings relating to such claim. The party which is not entitled to control any such proceedings shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense thereof at its own expense. Seller and Buyer shall not settle or compromise a claim that each respectively controls hereunder without the other party’s reasonable consent, in the event such settlement or compromise could give rise to a liability for which the other party is not obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder.

11.8 Compliance . On and after the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall:

(a) assist (and cause their respective Affiliates to assist) the other party in preparing any Tax Returns or reports with respect to any Taxes which such other party is responsible for preparing and filing in accordance with the terms hereof including providing actual notice to the Internal Revenue Service, Excise Branch and the New Jersey Division of Taxation of the change of ownership and operation of the terminal;

(b) provide access and make available for discussion with the other party, as reasonably requested, personnel responsible for preparing or maintaining information, records and documents in connection with tax matters; however, Buyer shall permit Seller to make copies as soon as reasonable after Closing of any records produced or stored at the location of the Assets including, without limitation, bills of lading, pipeline receipts and any other record of a similar nature; and

(c) furnish the other party with copies of all correspondence received from any taxing authority in connection with any audit with respect to Taxes, or information request with respect to any period ending on or before or including the Closing Date, including, without limitation, Buyer’s IRS Form 637 Excise Tax Registration and any similarly required state registration in order to receive and store petroleum products free from Excise Taxes to the maximum extent available under law.

11.9 Unconditional Obligation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including Article 12) the obligations of Seller and Buyer set forth in this Article 11 shall be unconditional and absolute and shall remain in effect until 30 days after audit, assessment and collection of Taxes, as appropriate, are barred by the applicable statute of limitations including any waivers thereof.

11.10 Like Kind Exchange. In the event that either party desires to structure the transactions contemplated hereunder as components of a like kind exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, the other party shall cooperate and take such action as may be reasonably requested in order to effect such exchange and allow the party desiring the exchange to assign this Agreement or take such other action that may reasonably facilitate the like kind exchange; provided, however, that (a) timely notice is provided by the party desiring the like kind exchange to the other party, (b) the proposed like kind exchange and actions requested hereunder would not have a detrimental effect on the other party, as determined in the other party’s reasonable discretion, (c) the party desiring the exchange shall be responsible for arrangement of the structure for the exchange, compliance with time limits on like kind exchanges, the preparation of appropriate documents to complete the transaction, and all additional costs directly related to restructuring the transaction as a like kind exchange and (d) the party desiring the like kind exchange agrees to protect, indemnify and hold the other party harmless from any liability, damages or costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may arise from the other party’s participation in the exchange. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event whatsoever shall Buyer be required to acquire title to other property as part of any such exchange.

11.11 Tax Liability. If not otherwise adequately stated above, it is understood and agreed that Buyer shall not assume, and Seller shall remain responsible for, (i) Property Taxes allocable to Seller pursuant to Section 11.4, (ii) any Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Excluded Assets, and (iii) Seller’s federal income and/or similar state tax liability and any other taxes of any nature that are attributable to Seller’s ownership, use or control of the Assets on or prior to the Closing Date (collectively, “Seller Taxes”). . It is likewise understood and agreed that Seller shall not assume, and Buyer shall be responsible for, (i) Property Taxes allocable to Buyer pursuant to Section 11.4, (ii) any Real Property Transfer Taxes for which Buyer is responsible pursuant to Section 11.2, (iii) any Excise Taxes for which Buyer is responsible pursuant to Section 11.3, and (iv) Buyer’s federal income and/or similar state tax liability and any other taxes of any nature that are attributable to Buyer’s ownership, use or control of the Assets after the Closing Date.

11.12 Casual Sale Exemption . Buyer and Seller agree that the purchase of tangible personal property would be treated as a casual sale as defined in N.J.S.A. 54:32B-2(u) and as provided for in N.J.S.A. 54:32B-8.6, with the exception of any titled vehicles that may be included in the sale. In the event that the Director of the New Jersey Division of Taxation determines, through an administrative decision that this was not a qualified casual exempt sale, then provisions of Article 11.3 shall apply.

For so long as Seller has an indemnity obligation hereunder, its agents or representatives, shall be given reasonable access to all data, reports, communications and information relating to Seller’s Environmental Liabilities and all of the work performed for or on behalf of Buyer relating to Seller’s

C-13

Environmental Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall also have the right to request and take samples of groundwater during any monitoring or testing activities conducted by or for Buyer on the Facility. Buyer shall provide reasonable advance notice to Seller to accommodate such requests and the taking of samples. The foregoing notwithstanding, Buyer shall not be required to take any action that would waive its attorney-client privileges.

f. Co-Existence of Monitoring Xxxxx and Remediation Equipment with Buyer’s Improvements. Buyer understands that certain monitoring xxxxx or remediation equipment are currently located on the Facility at existing specific locations. For purposes hereof, “remediation equipment” shall include any mechanical or electrical equipment, soil engineering and landscaping specifically designed and used for remediation purposes, e.g., barrier walls, trenches, ditches and berms on the land that serve a functional purpose in soil and groundwater remediation. If Buyer undertakes any construction on the Facility, Buyer understands that the location of improvements or construction activities could interfere with the monitoring xxxxx or remediation equipment. Until the HSWA Obligations Transfer Date or ISRA/SRRA Obligations Transfer Date, as applicable, and prior to any excavation, construction or resurfacing that could potentially disturb such xxxxx or equipment, Buyer shall notify Seller in advance and permit Seller a reasonable opportunity to consult with Buyer on any change in the location of such xxxxx or equipment. If Seller is required to abandon and/or replace any xxxxx to accommodate Buyer’s development activities, Seller will do so but at the sole cost and expense of Buyer. If any monitoring xxxxx, remediation equipment or piping or other structures associated with Seller’s Corrective Action being performed pursuant to the terms of this Addendum become damaged creating a potentially unsafe or nuisance condition, Buyer shall so notify Seller within 15 days of such occurrence.

g. Releases. The parties agree that, as between Seller and Buyer, the Buyer, at its sole cost and expense, shall be solely responsible for the obligation to remediate any Environmental Condition that arises as a result of any spill, leak, discharge, dispersal, release or escape (“Release”) of any substance at the Facility occurring after the Closing, except for any new or contemporaneous Release occurring after the Closing Date caused by Seller(“Post-Closing Release”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the Environmental Obligations Transfer Date, Buyer shall immediately notify Seller of any Post-Closing Release and, to the extent that any Post-Closing Release creates an Exacerbated Environmental Condition, Seller shall have the option to remediate such Post-Closing Release at Buyer’s sole cost and expense.

h. Subsequent Owners. Buyer and Seller understand and agree that this Addendum shall not be recorded in the official real property records of Middlesex County, New Jersey. If Buyer sells, transfers, conveys, or leases the Facility to any person or entity, Buyer shall disclose the right of access set out in this Section 7 to the purchaser, transferee or lessee and obtain the same right of access to the Facility from such purchaser, transferee or lessee to Seller’s benefit. If Buyer sells the Facility to a purchaser or transferee without obtaining the same right of access to the Facility for Seller as set forth in this Section 7.h., then (i) Seller shall have no further responsibility to Buyer with regard to Seller’s indemnity obligations under this Addendum, including any

C-14

that Seller may be actively addressing by performing Seller’s Environmental Remediation, (ii) Seller’s indemnity obligations under this Addendum shall expire and terminate, and (iii) Buyer thereafter shall release, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its affiliates and their directors, officers, shareholders, employees, successors and assigns from and against Seller’s indemnity obligations under this Addendum, including the costs of ongoing Corrective Action, demands, orders or actions required by applicable government agencies.

i. Buyer’s Use of CAMU. Seller, at its sole discretion, may allow Buyer to dispose of any contaminated soils or other contaminated solid materials that are generated during Buyer’s ISRA/SRRA Compliance Obligations in the CAMU or CAMUs constructed by Seller in conjunction with Seller’s HSWA Compliance Obligations subject to the following conditions: (a) Buyer agrees to coordinate Buyer’s ISRA/SRRA Compliance Obligations with Seller’s closure of the CAMU to optimize its ability to use the CAMU for this purpose, (b) Buyer agrees to provide a proposed scope of work to Seller which provides sufficient detail for Seller to evaluate Buyer’s request to utilize the CAMU and which Seller may approve or reject in its sole discretion, and (c) Buyer agrees that Seller will perform the placement of all material into the CAMU at Buyer’s sole cost and expense.

8. Assignment. Except as provided in Section 5.a. hereof, the rights, interest and obligations of this Addendum may not be assigned by either party without the prior written agreement of the other party.

9. Waiver. Unless this Addendum provides a period of time within which a right must be exercised, no party shall be deemed to have waived any right under this Addendum unless such party has expressly waived that right in writing. The waiver by any party of a right, claim or default by another party hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver or any other right, claim or default or any subsequent default of the same kind.

10. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly stated in this Addendum, no term or provision of this Addendum is intended to be for the benefit of any person or entity not a party hereto, and no such other person or entity shall have any right or cause of action hereunder. Nothing in this Addendum is intended to relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any third persons or entities to any party to this Addendum. No provision of this Addendum gives any third persons or entities any right of subrogation or action over and against any party to this Addendum.

11. No Release. No transfer of all or part of the Facility shall release Buyer from liability for performance of this Addendum. The Bargain and Sale Deed which transferred the Facility from Seller to Buyer contains restrictive covenants running with the land, easements and other provisions to bind Buyer and each successor in interest to the extent set forth in the said Bargain and Sale Deed. Each subsequent transfer of all or part of the Facility shall expressly incorporate by reference such Bargain and Sale Deed provisions.

12. Counterparts. This Addendum may be executed in two or more counterparts, and it shall not be necessary that the signatures of all parties hereto be contained on any one counterpart hereof; each counterpart shall be deemed an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

C-15

13. Governing Law. ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS ADDENDUM SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY WITHOUT THE APPLICATION OF ITS CHOICE OF LAW RULES.

14. Dispute Resolution.

(a) Any disputes arising between Seller and Buyer under this Addendum which claimant reasonably believes involves damages less than Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000), will be resolved first as the subject of informal discussions in a face-to-face meeting between principals of Seller and Buyer to occur within ten (10) days following the date of notice of a written claim. If the dispute cannot be resolved within thirty (30) days of the first meeting between the principals, the dispute will be submitted to arbitration before a single neutral arbitrator selected with assistance from the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution or, in the event that this organization cannot or will not agree to serve in such capacity, a similar organization that provides dispute resolution services which is reasonably agreeable to Seller and Buyer (in either case, referred to herein as the “CPR”) with at least five years experience related to the dispute that shall not have worked for either party during the previous five years (the “Independent Expert”). Each party will submit the names of at least two (2) but not more than five (5) potential arbitrators having the qualifications described in the preceding sentence from a list provided by the CPR. If there is one name common to both parties’ lists, that person shall be the Independent Expert, but if there is more than one name common to both parties’ lists, the Independent Expert shall be selected from the common names by mutual agreement of the parties, or in absence of such agreement, by the CPR. If there are no names common to both parties’ lists, the Independent Expert shall be selected by the CPR from the names selected on the parties’ lists. The Independent Expert may elect to conduct the dispute resolution proceeding by written submissions from Seller and Buyer or by appearances by Seller and Buyer, or both, as the Independent Expert may specify. After the parties and Independent Expert have had the opportunity to review all such submissions, the Independent Expert shall call for a final, written offer of resolution from each party. The Independent Expert shall render its decision within fourteen (14) days of receiving such offers by selecting one or the other of the offers, as submitted. The decision of the Independent Expert shall be final and binding upon both parties, without right of appeal. Seller and Buyer shall each bear its own legal fees and other costs of presenting its case, and the non-prevailing party shall bear the costs and expenses of the Independent Expert. The place of arbitration conducted hereunder shall be Perth Amboy, New Jersey, or such other location as may be agreed by the parties.

(b) Any disputes arising between Seller and Buyer under this Addendum which claimant reasonably believes involves damages in equal to or greater than Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000), will be resolved first as the subject of informal discussions in a face-to-face meeting between principals of Seller and Buyer to occur within ten (10) days following the date of notice of a written claim. If the dispute cannot be resolved within thirty (30) days of the first meeting between the principals, the dispute will be resolved in accordance with law. In such event, SELLER AND BUYER GENERALLY AND

C-16

UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO (1) THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SITUATED IN NEW JERSEY, OR (2) IF SUCH UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURTS DECLINE TO EXERCISE OR DO NOT HAVE JURISDICTION, THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW JERSEY STATE COURT. SELLER AND BUYER WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH THEY MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH COURTS AND JURISDICTIONS. THE FOREGOING NOTWITHSTANDING, ANY QUESTION OR DISPUTE CONCERNING REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY RIGHTS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE LOCATION OF THE APPLICABLE REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY.

(c) In the event either of the following occurs: the USEPA fails to issue a CA550 within eighteen (18) months (“EPA Review Period”) after the date Seller has submitted documentation to the USEPA to support the issuance of a CA550 or the USEPA fails to request additional information to support the issuance of a CA550 within the EPA Review Period, the parties shall jointly engage the CPR to provide dispute resolution services for the sole purpose of determining whether Seller has submitted documentation to USEPA that is reasonably sufficient for USEPA to issue the CA550. The agreement with CPR shall provide, inter alia, that: (i) Seller shall be responsible for the first One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) in costs and fees incurred and invoiced by CPR and the Independent CA550 Expert (as defined below), and thereafter, Seller and Buyer shall each be responsible for fifty (50) percent of such costs and fees, (ii) CPR shall provide to Seller and Buyer the names of up to five (5) potential candidates that it believes has the qualifications to serve as an independent expert with respect to USEPA corrective action completion determination requirements (“Independent CA550 Expert”), (iii) CPR shall review and consider the qualifications of up to three (3) additional potential candidates identified by each party that could serve as the Independent CA550 Expert, (iv) CPR shall designate the Independent CA550 Expert in the event that the parties cannot mutually agree upon the Independent CA550 Expert; however, either party may reject the candidate selected to serve as the Independent CA550 Expert if such Party can reasonably establish, to the satisfaction of the CPR, that such candidate has or will have a conflict of interest in evaluating the matter, (v) the parties and CPR, as applicable, will select or designate a substitute Independent CA550 Expert from the same combined list in the event that the original Independent CA550 Expert becomes unwilling or unable to continue to serve in that capacity, (vi) the Independent CA550 Expert shall review such documentation as submitted by either party including, but not limited to, the HSWA Permit; HSWA compliance reports prepared and submitted to the USEPA; correspondence with the USEPA, NJDEP, or both; and definitions, checklists or forms in use by the USEPA at the time of this resolution (vii) all information submitted by either party to the Independent CA550 Expert shall be simultaneously submitted to the other party, and neither party will communicate with the Independent CA550 Expert without providing the other party with the same information or if the communication is oral, without reasonably providing the other party with the opportunity to participate in the communication, (viii) the Independent CA550 Expert shall render, within 6 months after receipt of such documentation provided by Seller and Buyer, in its professional judgment, a determination of whether the documentation submitted by Seller is sufficient for USEPA to issue the CA550, (ix) in the event that the Independent CA550 Expert concludes that the documentation submitted by Seller is sufficient

C-17

for USEPA to issue the CA550 (the “CA550 Determination”), then the date of the CA550 Determination shall be the HSWA Obligations Transfer Date. However, in the event that the Independent CA550 Expert concludes that the documentation submitted by Seller is not sufficient for USEPA to issue the CA550, then the Independent CA550 Expert shall, with specificity, identify all data gaps or other deficiencies that would reasonably be required to be remedied by Seller for USEPA to issue the CA550. In such event, the Seller shall provide additional documentation to the Independent CA550 Expert and within twenty one (21) days after receiving such additional documentation from Seller, the Independent CA550 Expert shall consider whether such information is sufficient to render a CA550 Determination. Except as otherwise set forth in this paragraph, this process shall continue until the Independent CA550 Expert is able to make the CA550 Determination, and the determination of the Independent CA550 Expert shall be final and binding upon both parties, without right of appeal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time after the EPA Review Period, the USEPA: (A) issues the CA550, then the foregoing resolution process shall immediately terminate and shall have no force or effect even if the Independent CA550 Expert has already concluded that the information submitted by Seller is not sufficient for issuance of the CA550, (B) communicates to Seller in writing that it will not issue the CA550 or there are deficiencies with the information submitted by Seller, then Seller shall direct the Independent CA550 Expert to suspend its review and not resume it until 3 months after Seller has provided documentation to USEPA and the Independent CA550 Expert which addresses such deficiencies (in this case, the Independent CA550 Expert would resume his review upon the direction of the Seller and only if USEPA has not either issued the CA550 within 3 months of receiving the requested additional information or issued a request for additional information to support the CA550), (C) communicates in writing that it will not issue the CA550 because the USEPA either is no longer willing or able to issue the CA550, through no fault of Seller or no deficiency with Seller’s submissions, then the resolution process set forth in this paragraph 14(c) shall be determinative. The place of dispute resolution conducted hereunder shall be Perth Amboy, New Jersey, or such other location as may be agreed by the parties

15. Remedies. The indemnification and remedies set forth in this Addendum shall, from and after the Closing, constitute the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parties with respect to any breach of representation or warranty or non-performance, partial or total, of any covenant or agreement contained in this Addendum; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 15 shall prevent either Party from seeking judicial remedies to enforce any agreement between the parties and CPR, the CA550 Determination, the Independent Expert’s decision or award, or the Independent CA550 Expert’s determination as a result of the process in Section 14(a) or 14(c), respectively. For these purposes, Seller and Buyer generally and unconditionally and irrevocably submit to (1) the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court situated in New Jersey, or (2) if such United States District Court declines to exercise or does not have jurisdiction, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New Jersey state court. Seller and Buyer waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such courts and jurisdictions.

16. Notices. Any notices to be given hereunder shall be in writing and delivered by air courier, or deposited in the mail, postage prepaid and certified, return receipt requested, and addressed as follows or as otherwise specified by Seller and Buyer by notice hereunder:

GUARANTY OF OBLIGATIONS

Section 2.1 Guaranty.

(a) Guarantor hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees, undertakes and promises to cause, as herein provided, (i) the due and punctual payment and the full and prompt performance by the Obligor of all of the amounts to be paid, including the payment of the Purchase Price for the Facility under the Purchase Agreement and the indemnification obligations of the Obligor under the Purchase Agreement, and all of the terms and provisions to be performed or observed by or on the part of the Obligor under the Purchase Agreement (the “PSA Obligations”) and (ii) the due and punctual payment and the full and prompt performance by the Obligor of all of the amounts to be paid, and the indemnification obligations of the Obligor, and all of the terms and provisions to be performed or observed by or on the part of the Obligor, under the Closing Agreements (the “Closing Obligations”) (all such terms and provisions as now or hereafter in existence and the PSA Obligations and the Closing Obligations being collectively called the “Obligations”), whether according to the present terms thereof, or pursuant to any change in the terms, covenants and conditions thereof at any time hereafter made or granted, including pursuant to any amendments, extensions or renewals of the Purchase Agreement, the Closing Agreements or the Obligations. Guarantor agrees and acknowledges that no amendment, extension or renewal of the Purchase Agreement, the Closing Agreements or the Obligations will discharge or otherwise affect the liability of Guarantor under this Agreement.

(b) In the event that the Obligor fails in any manner whatsoever to pay, perform or observe any of the Obligations, when and as the same is required to be paid, performed or observed under the terms of the Purchase Agreement or any of the Closing Agreements, Guarantor will itself duly and punctually pay, or fully and promptly perform or observe, as the case may be, such Obligations, or cause the same to be duly and punctually paid, or fully and promptly performed or observed, in each case as if Guarantor were itself the obligor with respect to such Obligations under the Purchase Agreement or any of the Closing Agreements, as applicable.

Section 2.2 Payment Demand.

(a) It shall not be a condition to the guaranties and agreements set forth in Section 2.1 (the “Guaranty”) that Seller shall have first made any request of, or demand upon, or given any notice of the occurrence of a default under the Purchase Agreement or the Closing Agreements (unless such notice is specifically required under the Purchase Agreement or the Closing Agreements) or any other notice whatsoever to Guarantor (except as provided in Section 2.2(b)) or the Obligor or any other entity or person, or shall have instituted any action or proceeding against the Obligor or any other company, entity or person in respect thereof, or shall have joined the Obligor in any such action or proceeding.

(b) If the Obligor fails or refuses to pay any Obligations, Seller shall have the right from time to time to make a demand upon Guarantor (“Payment Demand”) and to proceed against Guarantor for recovery of the total of any and all amounts due to Seller by the Obligor. A Payment Demand shall be in writing and specify what amount the Obligor has failed to pay. Any delay or defect in the giving of such notice shall not alter or affect the Guaranty under this Agreement.

Section 2.3 Waiver of Resort to Security. Guarantor further agrees that this Agreement, insofar as it constitutes a guarantee of monetary Obligations, constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and Guarantor waives any right to require as a condition to its Guaranty that any resort be had by Seller to any security held for the payment of any Obligation.

Section 2.4 No Discharge. The Guaranty is and shall remain absolute and unconditional irrespective of any circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or other guarantor, as the case may be, with respect to its Guaranty; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Guaranty and without limiting Guarantor’s own defenses and rights hereunder, Guarantor reserves to itself all rights, counterclaims and other defenses to which the Obligor is or may be entitled to arising from or out of the Purchase Agreement or the Closing Agreements after taking into account any final, non-appealable judgments or final, binding arbitration decisions applicable to the Obligor thereto, except for defenses arising out of the bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation of the Obligor, the power or authority of the Obligor to enter into the Purchase Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder, and the lack of enforceability of the Obligor’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement or any transaction contemplated thereby.

Section 2.5 Waivers by Guarantor.

(a) Guarantor hereby waives, with respect to its Guaranty but without prejudice to the rights of the parties to the Purchase Agreement or any Closing Agreements, any notice of acceptance of this Agreement by Seller, grace, presentment, demand (except as provided in Section 2.2(b)), protest, notice of the occurrence of a default under the Purchase Agreement or any Closing Agreement and any other notice of any kind whatsoever and promptness in making any claim or demand hereunder (and any notice not provided for herein).

(b) The Guaranty shall not be affected by (i) the failure of Seller to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, any Other Agreement to which Seller is a party or any agreement related to the foregoing or otherwise, (ii) any extension of the Purchase Agreement, any Closing Agreement or any agreement related to the foregoing, (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Purchase Agreement, any Closing Agreements or of any agreement related to the foregoing, including any change in the time, manner or place of payment or performance of any of the obligations under the Purchase Agreement or any Other Agreement, or (iv) the release of any security held for payment of any Obligations.

Section 2.6 No Reduction. The Guaranty shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever.

Section 2.7 Enforcement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller may proceed to enforce the Guaranty against Guarantor without first pursuing or exhausting any right or remedy that Seller or any of its successors or assigns may have against the Obligor or its Affiliates or any other company, entity or person.

Section 2.8 Continued Effectiveness. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation of the Obligor is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the company, entity or person receiving such payment upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Obligor, all as though such payment or part thereof had not been made.

Additionally, Guarantor and Seller agree that the existence, terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be kept strictly confidential; provided, that (i) each party may disclose the existence, terms, and conditions of this Agreement to its officers, directors and members, (ii) each party may disclose the existence, terms and conditions of this Agreement to its employees and outside advisors on a need-to-know basis in connection with the matters discussed in this Agreement, and (iii) each party may disclose the existence, terms, and conditions of this Agreement as necessary to enforce its rights hereunder or as required pursuant to subpoena, court order or applicable governmental laws, regulations or other requirements (however, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the disclosing party shall promptly notify the other party of such requirement and shall assist the other party in obtaining a protective order or equivalent). Each party acknowledges that confidentiality is a material inducement for the other party to execute this Agreement and shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 3.7 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred by Guarantor in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by Guarantor, and all costs and expenses incurred by Seller in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by Seller.

Section 3.8 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 3.9 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent required to render such provision valid, legal and enforceable and in a manner so as to preserve the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby to the fullest extent permitted by law. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the Guaranty contemplated hereby is fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 3.10 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by Guarantor or Seller (including by operation of law or otherwise), except in connection with an assignment permitted under the Purchase Agreement or any of the Closing Agreements. Any purported assignment of this Agreement in violation of this Section 3.10 shall be null and void.

Section 3.11 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of Seller and its permitted successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other company, entity or person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 3.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts and by Guarantor and Seller in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 3.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the Closing Agreements constitute the entire agreement of Guarantor and Seller with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among Guarantor and Seller, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
